Area M (RMF-4) was originally vested in 1998.

■ Converted 3.6 acres of Planning Area Q back to Community Park designation.

this school site to RMF-4 as originally proposed.

RE: The Village at Avon PUD Amendment Z-PU2003-2
Ladies and Gentlemen,
The Town of Avon Planning & Zoning Commission is hearing the PUD amendment for The
Village at Avon. The PUD amendment does not change the school land dedication requirement
and the developer-identified 9-acre parcel in Tract M meets the dedication requirements. The
site will most likely be developed as an elementary school and the developer has insured that our
current elementary footprint will fit on the site.
Additionally, with the identification oral] school sites, the school district requests that utilities be
delivered to the school site property line and that the property have both ra primary and secondary
access for emergencies. Utilities include water, sewer, natural gas, telephone/data, cable and
non-potable water if being used in the immediate development. The school district supports the
primary access that is directly north of the intersiate/river as this is the most direct route to the
site. The proposed roadway that winds down the mountain from the north would be seen as the
secondary access.
Thank you for contacting the school district regarding this PUD amendment. I can be reached at
328-2747 if you have any questions.
Sincerely, ff~~
Karen Strakbein
