The shoes with which he had started out had broken two miles back and were abandoned somewhere on the roadside. Although the boy was only seven years old, his family had sent him by himself to the makeshift medical/dental clinic, which we volunteers had set up for two weeks in a nearby Honduras high school. I found him scared and alone in the searing heat, with nothing to quench his hunger or thirst, and waiting patiently in lines with hundreds of others like him. Approaching him cautiously, he eyed me nervously before returning my smile. Noticing his dirty bare feet, I took off to rummage through the boxes of clothes and shoes we brought to give to needy Hondurans. After finding a pair of brightly colored flip flops and a peanut butter sandwich, I returned to the child's side and helped him timidly place his feet in the new shoes. He stuffed the sandwich into his pocket, which I surmised was either going to be saved for the long walk home or would be brought home as rations for his family. The glow in his face made my heart expand and I was truly touched to know that something as simple as a pair of flip-flops and a sandwich could have such a positive impact on this boy. Although I am extremely active in my Colorado community, as a tutor in the public library's Literacy Project, an annual volunteer at the Eagle County rummage sale, a youth soccer coach, and many other worthwhile programs, no other volunteer work has opened my eyes like the two-week medical mission trip in Honduras. For some the experience may have been life changing, but for me it was also life affirming. It was life affirming in many ways, but the most was my experience with this little boy. First, I have always had an exuberance for life and for people, and this hands-on experience (not raising money, not doing something from a distance, but doing something with and for people I could actually see and touch) made me realize how important people-to-people contact is. In a Keegan Gamsey 521-49-7383 Essay Question 43 world where high technology seems to promote anonymity, it seems to me that such human contact is important for political, social, and cultural understanding. The boy showed me that his trust in God and the security and well-being of his family and friends were far more important than material possessions or superficial concerns. He had walked so far and was so thankful to receive a gift many would take for granted. The meager sandwich I gave him was being saved for his family, and even though he was hungry he was able to realize that his family needed the food as well maybe even more than himself. It never crossed his mind that he came alone, even at seven years, he was doing what he knew would benefit his family. I realized that the principles of my religion are practical theorems to implement in daily life, not just things to acknowledge in church every Sunday. Faith, survival, and service are the real things that make happiness and are things to practice every day. These people, this experience, but most of all, this boy remind me daily to cherish the little things in life, and to have faith, patience, and confidence in myself and others.

Reynolds Town of Avon Mayor P.O. Box 975 Avon, Colorado 81620 March 17, 2004 Re: Miss Keegan E. Garnsey Battle Mountain High School Graduating Class of 2004 To whom it may concern, I feel comfortable writing a recommendation for Keegan because I have known her for most of her life. The person that she has become I believe stems from such a wonderful home life. The values that are instilled in her are a direct reflection of the guidance that was given to her be her parents and brother. When Keegan was younger, I coach her on a coed soccer team for a few years. As a player she always showed a very strong competitive nature. She never would give up even if the game seemed to way out of reach for a victory for her team. Another strong attribute of Keegan is her extremely friendly personality. Ability of a young lady to have friends in such a verity of age groups shows me that she is very comfortable with the person she is. It is a nice feeling, when you see a person that holds their head up high with pride within themselves, not in conceit, but confidence with who they are as a person. Because of Keegan's abilities all sports and activities were a possible. A credit to her parents and her school to help develop such a well-rounded individual. I believe Keegan has the inner strengths to do anything that she puts her mind to. Whatever she ends up doing in life, I'm sure will do it well! If you have any further question please feel free to contact me directly at 790-904-4226. Albert D. Reynolds Town of Avon Kelly Moriarty Battle Mountain High School Avon, CO 81620 (970) 949-4490 To Whom It May Concern: It is my pleasure to write this letter of recommendation for Keegan Garnsey. While teaching at Battle Mountain High School I have had the wonderful opportunity to come to know Keegan as both a student and as an individual. She has proven remarkable in both aspects, and I consider it a privilege to know her. As a student Keegan is exemplary in so many respects. She is intelligent, insightful, and curious. Combined, these traits make quite an interesting and challenging student. Keegan was rarely satisfied with the easy answer. She focused on a concept until it was mastered; Keegan strives for complete understanding and is unsatisfied with anything less. She often challenged both herself and the class to reconsider a concept, or look at it from a different standpoint. Perhaps this is what made her so successful in my classes. Keegan loves the ability to interpret and argue a point. Her analytical abilities, especially in regards to literature, are outstanding, and she is always ready to share an idea or thought. However, intellectual insight is very little benefit unless it is shared. Over the course of the last two years I've seen Keegan mature into a woman one would be proud of. She attained a level of maturity that so many high school students take so much longer to achieve. In the academic classroom this maturity is so important because it allows Keegan to share her insights without the reservations that plague so many students. It also serves to enhance her leadership qualities as so many students appreciate her openness and ability to share her thoughts and feelings. Keegan also maintains a rigid athletic schedule. In addition to playing hockey and soccer, she is an avid skier for our ski team. To maintain such a schedule in addition to taking challenging AP courses requires excellent time management. Furthermore, although academics are important, indeed, I believe that athletics teach the life lessons about leadership, graceful victory as well as defeat, team work, and communication. Keegan embraces each and every lesson. I believe that one of the finest characteristics one possesses in terms of scholarships is the ability to manage time well and share knowledge and insight with others. Keegan has proven time and again that she has these qualities. I strongly recommend her for this scholarship without reservation knowing that she will embrace it and use this terrific opportunity and truly benefit not only herself, but others.

SSN. 158-88-8222 r Fax 970 949 9455 The International Education Crisis Thus far, the majority ofmy application to the Community Collaborative Scholarship Program has focused on my credentials and achievements during High School, however I feel that the Selection Committee(s) would benefit from understanding how I would plan to utilize the scholarship(s) ifI were chosen as a recipient. The following essay portrays some ofmymostpertinent concerns in the realm ofintemational relations and development: myintended field ofstudy. With the generosity ofyour organization, I will ha ve the opportunity to do pursue my passion and commit my future to creating greater educational opportunity throughout the world. "So you Turks aren't part of that Islam thing are you?" a vociferous American boomed from the table behind me. The distasteful statement was enough to make me lose interest in the delicious Meyhane Pilavi (Spicy Lamb Pilaf) I had been enjoying. Looking back, I saw the offended waiter quickly clear the man's table in disbelief. I found myself ashamed by the mere fact that this gruff individual possessed the same color passport as my own. Although this particular incident in Istanbul is of an extreme nature, cultural misconception can be linked to the cause of most major international disputes or disasters in recent history. Citizens of all societies are predisposed to stereotype other cultures due to a widespread lack of international education. I find it deeply disturbing that in a society where individuals are inclined to fear and despise Islam, most high school graduates know more about the price of gas which comes from the Middle Eastern region, than the actual culture and foundations of the Muslim faith. However, this general unawareness extends beyond the adolescent mind and American society: it is prevalent in all countries and on all intellectual levels. As articulated by Martin Luther King Jr., "Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance." We are programmed to hate what we fear and what we do not understand. At present, people are exposed to other cultures primarily through the window of their own society. This allows for regional and political interests to undermine the importance of a worldly education. Therefore it is imperative that the responsibility of international education be placed in the hands of a worldwide organization or committee. Such a council, possibly an adjunct of the UN, would establish standards to ensure that an unbiased and comprehensive curriculum pertaining to international study be installed in classrooms throughout the world. Although this singular initiative could not cure the universal lack of education and cultural understanding, it could serve as a feasible starting point. Regions such as Iraq would be the immediate beneficiaries in that their widespread poverty leaves many families with no alternative other than madras schools, in which students receive victuals and shelter at the expense of conforming to Islamic radicalism. Although knowledge, in its various forms, cannot be evaluated on a universal scale, it is awareness of this fact, and a desire to understand other cultures and perspectives that warrants sophistication and respect. The only option for conjoint progress in nations such as Iraq, Afghanistan, and the rest of the world is to cultivate a more globally and open-minded populace through promoting literacy and world study as one of the fundamental principles of an education. The concept of nationalistic education died with Japanese Imperialism: our integrated world no longer accommodates such isolationism. How can we expect to instill democracy as a social foundation in the Middle East when the majority of Iraqis, Iranians, and Saudis are illiterate, destitute, and oblivious as to what such a system of Government entails? Although the current state of international conflict seems to render improvement in international education an intangible and unrealistic goal. I firmly contend that it is the one and only method of attaining global peace in the future. Therefore I plan to pursue studies in the area of International Relations and Development and a career that will allow me to aid in the restructuring and progress of education worldwide.

I have worked as Stephanie's dance team coach for three years, and I recommend her for this scholarship without reservation. Over the past three years, I have seen Stephanie take an increasingly important leadership role on the Battle Mountain High School dance team. As a junior, Stephanie demonstrated a tremendous ability to work effectively with many different personalities. Ms. Rice cultivated very positive relationships with all of her teammates, both younger and older. As a senior, Stephanie was chosen by her peers and coaches to be one of the team captains. In this capacity, Ms. Rice surpassed expectations. I was particularly impressed by Stephanie's ability to quickly assess a situation and see what action was needed. This was extremely valuable when teammates approached Ms. Rice with complaints or problems. Stephanie was consistently able to provide an appropriate action plan or advice. I have also been impressed by Stephanie on a personal level. Ms. Rice demonstrates intelligence, poise, and professionalism in all situations. She possesses a level of maturity rare in young women her age. I feel that Stephanie is an excellent candidate for this scholarship, and wholeheartedly recommend her to you. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you. Sincerely, ,(;?6 Andrea L. Glass BMHS Dance Team Coach Regional Marketing Director, Alpine Bank www,alpinebank.com EVALUATION Please write whateeeryou think is important about this student, including a description of academic and personal characteristics. \V'e arc particularly interested in the candidate's intellectual promise, motivation. maturity. integrity. independence, originality. initiative, leadership potential, capacity for growth, special talents.. enthusiasm, concern toi others. respect accorded by faculty. and reaction to setbacks. We welcome information that will help us to dit9erentiate this student from others. Few high school students have sophisticated political opinions. Fewer still have the confidence and poise to defend them in class. Stephanie Rice is a delightful change to the traditional anti intellectual found in many high school classrooms. In our public high school we have such a wide variety of students that it is great to find one who is keenly aware of, and genuinely interested in, the world outside. Stephanie is beginning to form a sophisticated worldview and is eager to find a school where she can nurture that interest and apply it to make a difference in the world. I hope you will consider her application favorably. Among the 6 Advanced Placement classes that Stephanie has taken are two that I have taught, US History and World History. In both of those classes, Stephanie has shown detailed academic preparation, a willingness to discuss and an ability to motivate others. Stephanie is often at the center of a class discussion, prompting others to join in and enlivening the atmosphere. A student remarked after a recent World History class discussion that she hadn't made many connections between the readings until Stephanie pointed them out in class. In AP US History Stephanie often brought a perspective from her outside reading to the class, Foreign Affairs Magazine being a favorite. She earned the nickname, "Condoleeza Rice", in our AP History class because of her interest in foreign affairs and her ability to articulate her views. Outside of the classroom Stephanie has demonstrated prowess and dedication in a number of areas. Her lifelong passion for Equestrian events has given her a remarkable poise and ability to concentrate as she has won numerous awards. She has competed all over the region to pursue this passion. She has also volunteered for The Literacy Project and worked for the Youth Conservation Corps (a National Forest Service volunteer program) in our area. Her love of dance led her to the Vail Valley Dance Academy to study Jazz and Ballet for 6 years before becoming a founding member of the Dance Team at our high school. Not surprisingly, this became an area for her to combine her political talents and love of dance as she used her knowledge of Title IX legislation to advocate for treatment of the dance team on a par with our other athletic teams. We have entrusted our own children with Stephanie for a couple of years now. She has been a reliable and trustworthy babysitter and a role model for our daughter. She demonstrates a strength, independence and poise that is admirable in a young woman. She is learning to choose her battles and fight the important ones. I admire her resolve and her spirit. She is truly ready to move to a larger arena and find greater causes. Stephanie leaves us with a fine academic preparation, a terrific spirit and a keen curiosity about the world around her. The next step in her academic career will be exciting.

From when I was a small boy to my final years in high school, the town of Avon has influenced my life. The first home I remember was in Avon, on Benchmark Road. It was there that some of my best childhood memories took place, my first time riding a 2 wheeler, my first holidays, and countless memories of Avon Park. My grandmother was involved in local politics so even at a young age; so I always knew what was happening in the town. My grand mother and father ran a local printing business where I would spend summer days sitting outside and selling hotdogs and lemonade to neighborhood business owners. I remember the first day the recreation center opened where I now work as a lifeguard. I am currently a student at Battle Mountain High School where I am an active member in Future Business Leaders of America and am team captain of the high school ski team. I have spent the last two summers life guarding and teaching swimming at the Avon Recreation Center. I have also worked as a camp counselor at the Avon day camp. I plan to attend Colorado State University in the fall where I will major in either criminal justice, or resort management. No matter what I do, I know that the town of Avon will always feel like home. I hope to come back from college and contribute to the town in some way. Thank you for considering my application for this scholarship. Sincerely, Cla on Mc ory Clayton McRory P.O.

Other teachers and I firmly believe that he is an asset to Battle Mountain High School. lie has not only impressed me by doing well in my rigorous Advanced Placement Biology course - I have witnessed his talent as a member of our school's ski and FBLA teams. Additionally, I have been impressed by the joy he gains from time with his friends and his ability to critically assess and correctly interpret information. Clayton is always approachable and eager to engage in conversation, and I have seen him help out younger students whom he did not know multiple times. As a person and a student, he is an exceptional young man, and in the course I have taught him, consistently performed at a high level. It is for these reasons that I vigorously recommend Clayton for University admission.

Adjournment Avon Council Meeting. 04.05.11 MEMORANDUM TO: TOWN COUNCIL FROM: TOWN ATTORNEY RE: ORDINANCE RELATING TO APPEALS FROM DECISIONS OF PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION DATE: May 6, 2004 You have on your agenda an ordinance which is intended to clarify and consolidate the provisions for appeal of decisions of the Planning and Zoning Commission. Under this ordinance, there will be only one provision governing appeals, contained in Section 2.16.160. Most of the subsections of that section are set forth in the ordinance tendered to you. As you can see, subsection (b) defines "interested parties" as adjacent property owners or persons who received notice. Provisions for call-up by the mayor are currently in the code. Subsection (c) sets the time for appeal at 15 days. The code currently provides a time for appeal of either 30 days or 7 days from delivery of the decision to council and the applicant, depending on what the Commission acted on. The amendments to subsections (d) and (e) are "housekeeping" amendments which are not substantive in nature. The remaining sections of the ordinance repeal other appeal provisions and a duplicative provision with respect to obtaining additional information. Because this ordinance in part amends the Town's zoning code, it needs to be forwarded to the Planning and Zoning Commission for review and recommendation. I recommend that council adopt this ordinance on first reading, refer it to the Planning and Zoning Commission for review at their next meeting and schedule final reading on June 8.

Grow, owner of Lot 30, Block 1, Benchmark at Beaver Creek has submitted a request for a temporary grading and drainage easement on town owned property, Tract B, Block 1, Benchmark at Beaver Creek. The requested easement will allow diversion of drainage around the excavation required for construction of the proposed Avon Express Car Wash on Lot 30. The Building Permit for this project (Permit No. C- BP2002-8) was issued with a condition, "Access to the site will not be permitted until revised retaining wall details and related easements have been submitted and approved by the Town of Avon." The granting of this Easement will meet this condition. Permit No. C-BP2002-8 will expire June 10, 2004 if work is not commenced by that date. Mr. Grow has submitted Geotechnical Reports by H-P Geotech that based upon on-site soil borings indicate the excavation should be stable at a slope of t/4 horizontal to 1 vertical for a depth of up to 30 feet. Mr. Grow has also submitted a Construction Grading Plan prepared by Peak Land Consultants that shows that at this slope the excavation required for construction can be maintained within the Lot 30 property line. The requested easement is to provide an area to divert surface drainage around the excavation and involves minimal surface grading. Based upon our review of the proposed grading, we believe that a better solution for the finished product is available by use of the proposed easement area for a permanent drainage diversion. Subsequently, our recommendation is that the Easement be made permanent and that the owner of Lot 30 be made responsible for permanent operation, repair and maintenance of the surface grading and drainage facilities located on the proposed easement. L\Engineering0evelopment Review\Benchmark At BC\Block ITots 30-31\Memo Res 04-I6.Doc The attached Resolution No. 04-16, Series of 2004 approves the Grant of a fifteen foot wide easement on Tract B adjacent to the northerly common lot line of Lot 30. The Resolution places a number of conditions on the approval of this easement. These conditions are generally stated as: 1. Requires daily site inspections by Geotechnical personnel to assure compliance with recommendations 2. Excavation slope failure or unanticipated conditions allow suspension of Building Permit and requires correction or restoration within 3-months from date of occurrence. 3. Requires $250,000 security deposit be made to the Town in the form of cash or letter of credit to assure correction of potential slope failure problem and or site restoration. 4. Approval is subject to completion of technical corrections to Construction Grading Plan as identified by staff. We believe the Grant of Easement as approved by Resolution 04-16, Series of 2004 addresses issues related to site grading and construction associated with the proposed Avon Express Car Wash and provides some potential grading and drainage benefits to the Town. We recommend approval of Resolution No. 04-16, Series of 2004, A Resolution Approving Surface Grading and Drainage Easement for Lot 30, Block 1, Benchmark at Beaver Creek, Town of Avon, Eagle County, Colorado. Recommendation: Approve Resolution No. 04-16, Series of 2004, A Resolution Approving Surface Grading and Drainage Easement for Lot 30, Block 1, Benchmark at Beaver Creek, Town of Avon, Eagle County, Colorado.

Mayor Buz Reynolds called the meeting to order at 5:30 PM. A roll call was taken with Councilors Michael Brown, Debbie Buckley, Peter Buckley, Brian Sipes, Ron Wolfe and Mayor Pro Tem Mac McDevitt present. Also present were Town Manager Larry Brooks, Town Attorney John Dunn, Assistant Town Manager Jacquie Halburnt, Town Clerk Patty McKenny, Town Engineer Norm Wood, Finance Director Scott Wright, Community Development Director Ruth Borne, Police Chief Jeff Layman, Public Works / Transit Director Bob Reed, Recreation Director Meryl Jacobs as well as members of the press and public. Citizen Input Carolyn Bradford, Eagle River Watershed Council, addressed the Council regarding the Community Pride Cleanup event to be held this coming weekend. She spent a few minutes describing the event & locations of the cleanup. She requested financial support from the Town of Avon to assist in covering the hard costs of the event. Councilor Wolfe moved to fund the event $750; Councilor D. Buckley seconded the motion and it passed unanimously. It was noted that the funding be taken from the Town Manager's contingency funds. Ordinances Finance Director Scott Wright presented Ordinance No. 04-06, Series of 2004, An Ordinance of the Town of Avon, Eagle County, Colorado, Granting by Franchise to Public Service Company of Colorado, its affiliates, successors and assigns, the right to use the Streets within the Town to furnish, sell, transport and distribute gas to the Town and to all Residents of the town, granting the right to acquire, construct, install, located, maintain, operate and extend into, within and through the Town all facilities reasonably necessary to furnish, sell, transport, and distribute gas within and through the Town; and fixing the Terms and conditions thereof. He noted that this was the ordinance tabled at the last meeting. He explained that this ordinance would adopt a franchise agreement with Public Service Company of Colorado ("PSCo")and in summary it conveys the right to PSCo to provide public utility service (in this case natural gas) within the Town of Avon boundaries and allow the use of Town rights-of-way for the location of utility facilities and equipment, in exchange for the payment of a franchise fee. He explained that the rights are non-exclusive and the Town reserves the right to make or grant a similar franchise to any other company. The terms proposed is twenty years and the franchise fee proposed is equal to three percent (3%) of revenues. Revenues generated by this fee in 2003 were $47,404. It was thought that second reading of the Ordinance would occur at the meeting on May 11th. Mayor Reynolds opened the public hearing, no comments were made and the hearing was closed. Councilor Wolfe moved to adopt Ordinance No. 04-06, Series of 2004, Granting by Franchise to Public Service Company of Colorado, its affiliates, successors and assigns, the right to use the Streets within the Town to furnish, sell, transport and distribute gas to the Town and to all Residents of the town, granting the right to acquire, construct, install, located, maintain, operate and extend into, within and through the Town all facilities reasonably necessary to furnish, sell, transport, and distribute gas within and through the Town; and fixing the Terms and conditions thereof. Mayor Pro Tem McDevitt seconded the motion and it passed with a unanimous roll call vote. Resolutions Councilor P. Buckley indicated he would step down for the next two agenda items due to conflict of interest related to pending litigation with Vail Resorts. To the citizens he also noted that he attended an Avon Planning & Zoning Commission meeting last week and spoke as a citizen only on this issue at hand. He noted that Councilor Wolfe was also at that meeting, but stepped out of the room during his comments. Community Development Director Ruth Borne began by thanking Council for their support during the last five years she has worked for the Town. She has resigned effective the end of April. She then presented Resolution No. 04-13, Series of 2004, Resolution Denying the Rezoning from Open Space, Landscaping and Drainage (old) to Residential Medium Density (RMD) for the 40 Acres Parcel known as West Avon, Forest Service Annexation - Parcel B, Town of Avon, Eagle County, Colorado. She presented some historical information and a summary of the proposal from the Vail Corporation to rezone a 40-acre parcel from "Open Space, Landscaping and Drainage" (OLD) to "Residential Medium Density" (RMD) by the Vail Corporation. The subject property is located directly west of the end of Nottingham Road, and the rezoning application is part of the Vassar Meadows Land Exchange. The area sought to be re-zoned actually consists of 22 acres of developable area for RMD, multi-family dwellings at a density not to exceed fifteen dwelling units per acre. Accompanying the rezoning application is a sketch plan subdivision application with the proposed Resolution No. 04-14, Series of 2004. She noted that the Planning & Zoning Commission unanimously recommended denial of the proposal and she then identified the numerous concerns the town has expressed throughout the last year regarding # of units, traffic, transit, water, potential revenues generated, etc. Details of the application are written in the Planning & Zoning Commission staff report included in the Council packet. It was noted by Town Attorney John Dunn that Councilors are to leave the room when stepping down due to conflict of interest, at which time Councilor P. Buckley left the room. Tom Braun, Braun & Associates representing the applicant, addressed the Council at this time with some historical information, details about the land exchange application, difficulties the project has presented, and a review of the criteria and Avon Master Plan requirements. There were also comments on specifics of the project, i.e access, number and type of units and what would happen if this project did not get approval for the zoning, specifically the question of will Vail Resorts proceed with the land exchange if Avon denies the zoning? Jack Huhn, Vice President Development, Vail Resorts, Inc., addressed the Council and noted that there needs to be an economic end zone for this project and that the justification for VRI in buying Vassar Meadows would be a property that could be developed so that VRI could recover most of the investment in Vassar Meadows and without zoning, the exchange would make no sense for the company. He noted that the exchange in Vail was separate to this exchange. Councilor Sipes asked if VRI was locked into the number and type of units. Huhn noted that a reduction in zoning and a change to "for sale" type units would be a major departure from what they need. Not economically feasible for the project. Some discussion ensued about water rights and about the process, as it would relate to new owners. Councilor Wolfe offered a suggestion of buying out VRI on the parcel and proposed the creation of a conservation easement on the property that would benefit adjacent communities. He proposed possibly tabling action on the item, so that VRI might refine a buyout price, and Avon along with the Open Space Advisory Committee might develop a deal to keep this parcel as open space. After some discussion, Council did not want to table action on the current application. Huhn noted that Vail Resorts, Inc. would prefer action on the item that evening for various reasons. Town Attorney John Dunn advised Council review the zoning application only and not begin negotiations on related matters. Regular Council Meeting Page 2 of 7 April 27, 2004 Barry Sheakley, U.S. Forest Service, was asked to answer questions. He reminded everyone that there are strict regulations the Forest Service must comply with in order to exchange land. Mayor Reynolds opened the public hearing. Barry Sheakley at this time presented clarifications to the land exchange agreement noting that zoning was not a requirement of the U.S. Forest Service for the land exchange agreement to move forward and that the clause could be removed if agreed to by the parties. Mayor Reynolds asked that if the land exchange were not successful, would the U.S. Forest Service sell the land to someone else? Sheakley answered that the land would likely be included in another land exchange, the Forest Service is not able to directly sell the parcel to another developer. No other comments were made and the hearing was closed. After some further comments were made by Council, consensus was that this application was not what they agreed to last summer, especially related to number & type of units, access, etc. Mayor Pro Tern McDevitt moved to approve Resolution No. 04-13, Series of 2004, Resolution Denying the Rezoning from Open Space, Landscaping and Drainage (old) to Residential Medium Density (RMD) for the 40 Acres Parcel known as West Avon, Forest Service Annexation - Parcel B, Town of Avon, Eagle County, Colorado. Councilor Brown seconded the motion and it passed unanimously by a roll call vote excluding Councilor P. Buckley who stepped down earlier. Town Engineer Norm Wood presented Resolution No. 04-14, Series of 2004, A Resolution Denying Subdivision Sketch Plan approval for the Subdivision of a Parcel of Land Located in the Southwest % of Section 2, Township 5 South, Range 82 West of the 6th Principal Meridian (Forest Service Annexation - Parcel B), Town of Avon, Eagle County, Colorado. Note for the record Councilor P. Buckley was still absent from the Council Chambers. He noted that this was a subdivision sketch plan application to verify suitability of the land for subdivision in conjunction with the proposed zoning application. The subject property is located directly west of the end of Nottingham Road, and the rezoning application is part of the Vassar Meadows Land Exchange. It was noted that a public hearing was not required for sketch plan. Mayor Pro Tern McDevitt moved to adopt Resolution No. 04-14, Series of 2004, A Resolution Denying Subdivision Sketch Plan approval for the Subdivision of a Parcel of Land Located in the Southwest % of Section 2, Township 5 South, Range 82 West of the 6th Principal Meridian (Forest Service Annexation - Parcel B), Town of Avon, Eagle County, Colorado. Councilor Sipes seconded the motion and it passed unanimously with a roll call vote excluding Councilor P. Buckley who stepped down earlier. Town Engineer Norm Wood presented Resolution No. 04-15, Series of 2004, A Resolution to approve the Village at Avon, Filing 3, Preliminary Subdivision Application. He noted that the Village (at Avon) Filing 3 Subdivision is for the purpose of creating road rights-of-way for the extension of Swift Gulch Road from Buffalo Ridge Apartments to its intersection with Post Boulevard and for Post Boulevard to the existing right-of-way at the 1-70 Interchange. The proposed public improvements include construction of roadways and utilities in the proposed rights-of-way as well as the corresponding bike path from Buffalo Ridge to Post Blvd. north of the new 1-70 Interchange. Town Engineer Wood noted that this Preliminary Subdivision application requires a public hearing. He also noted that a number of conditions were outlined in the resolution as well. Construction is proposed to begin in June. Some questions were asked by Council, one related to the need for zoning designations before the subdividing of the property. Dave Kautz, Traer Creek LLC, responded to the zoning question noting that the tract would be dedicated to both the fire and ambulance districts. Kent Kreihn and Mike Sliper, both with Alpine Engineering and representing the applicant Traer Creek LLC, presented the project in detail as well. Topics of discussion included some of the following topics: the location of the bike path / trail, the need to have the road dissect the park, the responses from both the fire & ambulance districts regarding their assigned parcels. Mayor Regular Council Meeting Page 3 of 7 April 27, 2004 Reynolds opened the public hearing. Kathleen Walsh spoke on behalf of Tamara Underwood (reading her notes) and herself, noting concerns that no commercial should be included in this area, that earlier proposals included park and that this should remain in the project, the questions of why the road dissects the park and whether or not the town will obtain the land lost with the construction of the road, and finally the need to document that there will not be any commercial within the neighborhood zone. Mayor Reynolds noted that the Town of Avon requested that the developer construct Swift Gulch Road all the way through. Councilor Wolfe noted that he preferred that parkland be subdivided and dedicated to the town as soon as possible. Councilor Sipes added that there should be stated intent that no change in zoning would be supported. Some discussion ensued about current zoning allowed on Tract H as commercial. The Town Engineer noted that the land use summary should be consistent with the PUD Plan. Some comments were made regarding the proposed roundabout at that location with regard to grade. Further discussion ensued about the zoning for Tract H with respect to Condition No. 8. All agreed that the language written in the PUD, which states that the Tract H parcel is slated for commercial zoning, were previously approved. Town Engineer Wood further commented on the fact that the planning areas overlap and that the land use summary should reconcile to the PUD Plan. Town Manager Larry Brooks noted that the entitlements for the commercial zoning were already approved. With no further comments, the public hearing was closed. Mayor Pro Tern McDevitt moved to approve Resolution No. 04-15, Series of 2004, A Resolution to approve the Village at Avon, Filing 3, Preliminary Subdivision Application.. Councilor D. Buckley seconded the motion and the Resolution passed with a five to one vote (D. Buckley, P. Buckley, Brown, McDevitt, Wolfe - aye; Sipes - nay). New Business Mayor Reynolds noted that interviews for the appointment of new Planning & Zoning Commission Members were conducted at the work session. Councilor Wolfe moved to appoint Chris Evans, Terry Smith, Phil Struve and Tim Savage to the Avon Planning & Zoning Commission. Councilor Brown seconded the motion and it passed unanimously. Town Manager Larry Brooks presented the proposed long-term Service Agreement between the Town of Avon and Bachelor Gulch Metropolitan District. He noted several short-term agreements exist for fleet maintenance out of the Swift Gulch Facility. This long term agreement is proposed for 20 years with some extensions as provided for in the agreement. It was noted that a two-thirds vote is required for approval. The Town council will set the rate on an annual basis; the mechanics rate and the rate will not exceed the Town's cost. Brooks noted that working with Paul Jardis of the Metro District has been very positive. He noted that there should be the following changes to the agreement: 1) Article 3, line 7 / typo hourly rate should be $102.61 2) Article 13 (a) line 6, delete "Fire Protection" Mayor Pro Tern McDevitt moved to approve the Service Agreement with Bachelor Gulch with the above referenced changes. Councilor Sipes seconded the motion and the motion passed unanimously. Senior Planner Tambi Katieb presented an Appeal of Planning & Zoning Commission Resolution No. 04-10, approving a parking variance for Tract Y, Mountain Star Subdivision, Town of Avon. He reviewed the memo to the Council included in the packet and noted that this review would be a public hearing. He noted that on April 6, 2004, the Planning & Zoning Commission approved a variance application for a determination on parking standards for the Tract Y project. The variance was approved through Resolution No. 04-10 and applied only to the portion of this project that is proposed as self-storage use. The remainder of the project is Regular Council Meeting Page 4 of 7 April 27, 2004 parked per the Town Code standards. He noted that T.J. Conners, a noticed property owner and operator of the AAA mini storage and warehouse facility on Metcalf Road, appealed the Commissions' decision to the Town Council. He then reviewed the findings and staff report for the P&Z Commission and other materials included in the council packet. He noted that the Resolution approved by P&Z included several conditions as well. In researching a standard for number of parking spaces for storage complexes, there was nothing provided from numerous sources that "standards" exists. Town Attorney John Dunn reviewed the procedure for the appeal of variances per the Town Code (Title 17) outlining the three types of motions that might occur with this review, i.e. confirm P&Z decision based on the findings, reverse P&Z decision and deny variance and specifically outline reasons for disapproval, or modify P&Z decision. The Council was directed to consider the decision made by P&Z based on the criteria presented and then submit their own decision about the application. He again noted that this was a public hearing, and that the appellate will address the council first followed by the applicant. Neil Movitz, the attorney representing the Vail/Avon Commercial Park Condominium Association including TJ Connors and owner of one of the businesses within this commercial park, presented an appeal to the decision primarily due to the public safety issues this project would create on Metcalf Road, in essence increasing more traffic issues. He spent some time addressing the case studies presented in the application, access to the project, and the criteria used to assess the variance. Paul Benicoff, also a business owner in the commercial park, spoke about his concerns with the project, primarily safety as related to traffic. Mark Donaldson, Victor Mark Donaldson Architects, addressed the Council at this time, presenting the application and making some clarifications with regard to the type user of this particular type of "self-storage" project. He noted that access to the units is via an elevator. He noted that his client Chad Lund, with Lund Capital Group was present as well. He spent some time addressing the criteria used in the application review, including a detailed review of the case studies presented. Council reviewed the plans with regard to the deceleration lane & the parking lot configuration. Donaldson explained the case study review and how the analysis was made. Chris Juergens, with VMDA, also presented details on the statistics. An estimate was made on the area required for parking if the variance were not granted. Donaldson outlined the number of months & public process that this project has seen, and commented on the "Findings" made with regard to the project. Some discussion ensued about the number of parking spaces required for the entire site and the number or parking as related to the self- storage vs. the industrial-commercial use on the site. It was also confirmed that retail was not allowable in this location. TJ Connors, owner of AAA Mini-Storage, addressed the Council with comments regarding the history and facts of his project, statistics related to storage units, concerns with grading of the driveways, traffic impacts from the project, and proposed standards presented regarding parking. Chad Lund, with Lund Capital Group, made some comments about his company and his experience with these types of storage unit projects. Mayor Reynolds opened the public hearing, comments were made from one Wildridge resident (unable to hear name) who expressed concern with traffic on Wildridge / Metcalf Road. The public hearing was closed. Some of Council's comments are as follows: ¦ Not supportive of project due to traffic impacts ¦ Not supportive of the reasons described with the criteria ¦ Concerned with traffic impacts but not the parking variance ¦ Appreciated that application included deceleration & turnaround lanes ¦ Not supportive of the variance because it really allows for more parking on the site • Metcalf Road needs attention Regular Council Meeting Page 5 of 7 April 27, 2004 Councilor Wolfe moved to uphold the appeal that was made after significant deliberation based on the documentation provided by staff, the applicant, public comment and the review of the requirements of Section 17.36.050, and that we overturn the Planning & Zoning recommendation that was adopted in Resolution No. 04-10 and on the specific basis of the following: a. that the granting of the variance will constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with the limitations on other properties classified in the same district; b. and that the granting of the variance will be detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare or materially injurious to properties of improvements in the vicinity c. and that the variance is not warranted on the basis of any of the three reasons as follows: 1. the strict, literal interpretation and enforcement of the specified regulation would result in practical difficulty or unnecessary physical hardship inconsistent with the objectives of this title' 2. there is no exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable to the site of the variance that do not apply generally to other properties in the same zone; 3. the strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the specified regulation does not deprive the applicant of privileges enjoyed by the owners of other properties in the same district. Further discussion ensued about other variances that have been granted to storage facilities. Councilor P. Buckley seconded the motion and it passed with a four to three vote (P. Buckley, Wolfe, Reynolds, Sipes - yea; Brown, P. Buckley, McDevitt - nay). Consent Agenda Mayor Reynolds asked for a motion on the Consent Agenda. Councilor D. Buckley moved to adopt the consent agenda. Councilor Brown seconded the motion and it passed unanimously. a. Approval of the April 13, 2004 Regular Council Meeting Minutes b. Western Enterprise, Inc.

This analysis indicates that the 348.4 acre- feet of water leased to the Regional Water Authority should be sufficient to service approximately 4225 SFE's rather than the 3975 SFE's established by the Water Authorities water attorney, Glen Porzak. Tom Williamson seems to agree with the calculations pending his confirmation of the revised data and has indicated he will discuss the differences with Denis Gelvin and Glen Porzak. I believe the next step is to work with Les to finalize his report to establish water consumption requirements based on projected buildout in the town and to project a maximum number of SFE's that can be served utilizing all of the Town's water rights. From there, I believe the next step is to work with Gary Greer, our water attorney, to propose a revised water rights lease with the Authority to provide service to the projected SFE's at buildout. I will try to answer any questions during staff updates at the council meeting. Town Manager Comments: I:AEngineering\Water\Water Rights\Update 5-07-04.Doc DRAFT MEMORANDUM TO: Norm Wood FROM: Leslie Botham and Mary Presecan, Leonard Rice Engineers, Inc. CC: Gary Greer FILE: 269AMD05 DATE: May 6, 2004 RE: Follow-up from meeting with Tom Williamsen and other matters The purpose of this memo is to summarize our discussions with Tom Williamsen during a meeting conducted on May 5, 2004 and to answer some additional questions posed by Norm Wood during a telephone conversation on May 5, 2004. On May 5, 2004 Tom Williamsen came to the LRE office, at the request of LRE, to discuss the predictions of water demand and depletion he developed for Avon on behalf of the Authority and the subsequent use of that analysis in a lease agreement between the Town of Avon and the Authority. Prior to this meeting LRE performed a similar analysis on predictions of water demand and depletion using current data provided by Avon and ERWSDA. LRE compared the results of their analysis to the analysis performed by Williamsen. Table 1 summarizes what LRE found to be the major differences between the two approaches. The issues presented in Table 1 were the topics discussed in the March 5, 2004 meeting with Tom Williamsen.

We understand that the big changes occur when the basis for counting them are changed/refigured. Adjustments could numbers are accurate. be made if known periods of accurate counts could be established. No adjustments are planned. 2) It is assumed that the metered delivery We have been told, but we are not positive that the accounts included in the 1998 - numbers for 1998 - 2003 are correct and 2002 metered deliveries used in the HW report are the same as the 2003 accounts accurate. reported to, and used by us for Avon. 3) It is assumed that Avon is responsible There are at least 6 entities in the valley that are serviced by this WWTP. for and charged for the complete WWTP Although the metered consumption at the plant is relatively small, the question account (5.8 SFE and 7,014 kGal in still is, should Avon be charged for the total account? calendar year 2003). It is assumed that Avon is not While not directly included, water use at the Avon WTP is prorated to each water re responsible for the metered water user through the application of a system loss (5% for high pressure system). This consumption at the Avon Water Treatment system loss has been included in both the HW approach and the LRE approach. Plant . 5) The LRE analysis assumed that the When LRE filled the 2003 data for the HW approach the same assumption was metered consumption for account 1100000 made. When Bill Storey reports Avon's water consumption to Tom Williamson, (Traer Creek Office) should be considered this account is included in Avon's monthly consumption. The location of this tap part of Village at Avon water consumption. (in Town of Avon or Village at Avon) needs to be reconciled. With respect to evaporation: The Williamsen approach used the information in the decree, which includes 2 acres for a potential pond at Meyers Ranch and 2.0 acres of contingency. We explained that the Meyers Ranch Lake was not built, the 2.0 acres of contingency was not required, and the current size of Nottingham Lake and associated sedimentation pond is 15.7 acres. This measurement is based on the information provided by Anne Martens at Avon. Tom agreed that if the lake is in fact smaller it will influence the demand and depletion. With respect to non-potable irrigation: The Williamsen approach used lake pumping data for a portion of 2001 as provided by Avon which included an unexpected large amount of pumping in the month of May. Williamsen added in values for August, September, and October because of missing data. Based on the data provided by Avon for lake pumping from 1999 - 2003, we discussed with Tom that an average of the period of record available would be more representative of actual average lake pumping. Tom agreed that using actual pumping data over a period of record was more accurate than his assumed lake pumping. Both LRE and Williamsen agreed that for a high year pumping it would be reasonable to increase the average year pumping by 20 percent. Based on the differences discussed, LRE computed that 348.4 acre-feet of consumptive use credit would satisfy approximately 4,225 SFE. At build-out of 4,641 SFE, approximately 376.6 acre-feet of consumptive use credit would be required by Avon. Leonard Rice Engineers Inc 2000 Clay Street, Suite 300, Denver, Colorado 80211-5119 • Phone (303) 455-9589 • Fax (303) 455-0115 Memorandum to Norm Wood May 6, 2004 Page 3 Tom Williamsen was responsive to the issues discussed and agreed to talk to Dennis Gelvin and Glen Porzak about there influence on the analysis. At this time, Tom Williamsen has not agreed to any of the above differences and has not agreed to change his analysis. During a telephone conversation between Norm Wood and Les Botham on May 5, 2004, Norm asked for answers to three specific questions: 1) What is the agreement on SFE between Avon and the Authority? 2) What is the base consumption for fixed accounts? 3) What is the consumption per SFE? 1) Comparison of SFEs In the water rights reporting by the Authority, the December 2003 total number of SFE for Avon was 3102.2. In a separate detailed analysis performed by Avon, Avon's total SFE as of December 31, 2003 was 3,102.4. As of December 2003, the Authority approach and Avon approach are similar within 0.2 SFE. 2) Consumption for Fixed Accounts The base consumption for fixed accounts in 2003 was as follows: Demand Consumptive Use Lake Pumping 51.0 acre-feet 18.5 acre-feet Lake Evaporation 42.4 acre-feet 42.4 acre-feet Fixed accounts are accounts that do not vary with respect to SFE. These accounts may however vary from year to year based on climatic conditions. For purposes of comparison with the Williamsen analysis for future augmenting needs, it is assumed that high year lake pumping demand will increase by 20% over average year pumping up to 61.2 acre-feet, resulting in a high year consumptive use of 18.8 acre-feet. Lake evaporation is assumed to remain constant at the average rate. After investigation of the potable-irrigation from fixed accounts (ROW and park irrigation) at the request of Norm, it was determined that the combined amount of metered consumption at these accounts is minimal and that it does not influence the final outcome of the analysis. 3) Consumptive Use per SFE For water year 2003, the consumption per SFE for Avon's development (metered accounts) was 0.055 acre-feet/SFE, as shown in Table 2 below. The SFE's varied from 2940.1 to 3065.9 in water year 2003. The analysis shows a development potential of 123.3 acre-feet of consumption for the 348.17 in the lease and 223.1 acre-feet of consumption for the 448 total augmentation credits available.

A more useful value would be based on the conditions that the Authority is using in the determination of the amount of augmenting water required. These include: a) high year metered delivery (at the 2000 rate per SFE) and b) high year pumping from the lake. Such a condition is shown in Table 3 below. The analysis uses the lake evaporation and non-potable irrigation LRE and Avon believe to be correct and discussed above (15.7 acres of lake surface area and average lake pumping x 1.2). The consumption per SFE for Avon's development (metered accounts) was 0.068 acre-feet/SFE (287.1 acre-feet/4223 SFE). The overall consumption for Avon for all accounts is 0.078 acre-feet/SFE (348.17 acre- feet/4223 SFE). 4223 SFE's were used in this analysis because that is the equivalent number we believe can be supported by the 348.17 acre-feet committed in the lease with the Authority. This compares to the Authority 3,975 SFE.
