was taken with all the Councilmembers voting yes.
Being that there was no one present for the Hayes/Casalino project, Lot#7,Block#l,
Density Transfer, this item was cancelled from the agenda.
Gary Stevens President of Stevens Development approached the Council. He was asking
approval for a duplex subdivision plat, Lot#39,Block#l, Wildridge.
After discussion Steve Erickson moved approval of the final plat of the re-subdivision
of Lot#39, Block#l, Wildridge as it stands, seconded by Hugh Price and was carried with
A.J. Wells and Bill Doyle abstaining.
Resolution No.#80-16, Series of 1980 was next on the agenda. This Resolution was
adopted by Council on October 28, 1980. The intent of the Council was to establish
a pedestrian mall on a portion of Tract G, Block#2 in the Town of Avon. The adoption
on the above date provided for a public hearing on January 13, 1981 at 7:30 p.m. in the
Town Council Chambers. The Town Attorney recommended to the Council that consideration
of the pedestrian mall be postponed by the Council until the second regular meeting in March,
(March 24, 1981.) Attorney Dunn stated that there were two reasons for the postponement,
1) he did not feel that there was sufficient information before the Council at this time
as to design and cost estimate, 2) an oversight of not recording the owners names of the
properties. After some discussion Steve Erickson moved approval to postpone the public
hearing of the pedestrian mall until March 24, 1981, seconded by Hugh Price and was
unanimously carried. Councilmember Hugh Price suggested that all Councilmembers be
informed as to when the Cole Project is to appear on the agenda for the Design Review
Board and recommend that all the Councilmembers attend the meeting if possible.
The Town Attorney stated,according to the Bond Ordinance, the Bond Proceeds can be used
for other Municipal Capital Improvements besides the Municipal Building, railroad crossing
and bridge.
Jim Wells moved approval to use $250.000.00 from the Capital Projects Fund that was other-
wise designated for the railroad crossing, on the Municipal Complex. The motion was
seconded by Hugh Price and was unanimously carried.

The Mayor reported that the Town's free shuttle bus service is a success, but due to the
lack of snow it will probably be discontinued if the weather persists.
He reported that the reason the Town imposed such a low speed limit on the Town roads was
due to all the heavy construction and for public safety.
