Re: The Vail Corporation - Subdivision Sketch Plan Application
Resolution No. 04-14 - Denying Subdivision Sketch Plan Approval for
Subdivision of a Parcel of Land located in the Southwest %4 of Section 2,
Township 5 South, Range 82 West of the 6"' Principal Meridian (Forest
Service Annexation - Parcel B), Town of Avon, Eagle County, Colorado
• Summary: The Vail Corporation has submitted application for Subdivision
Sketch Plan approval in conjunction with an application for re-zoning of a Parcel of Land
located in the Southwest'/4 of Section 2, Township 5 South, Range 82 West of the Oh
Principal Meridian (Forest Service Annexation - Parcel B), Town of Avon, Eagle County,
Colorado. The proposed re-zoning would convert the Parcel from Open Space, Landscaping
and Drainage (OLD) to Residential Medium Density (RMD). The Subdivision Sketch Plan
Application shows a schematic layout of building areas and a possible extension of
Nottingham Road to the Parcel and assumes that water and sewer service will be provided by
the Avon Metropolitan District and the Eagle River Water and Sanitation District.
The purpose of the review is to determine suitability of the sketch plan and establish
guidelines and conditions for proceeding to preliminary plan, or provide reasons for not
proceeding to preliminary plan. Per Section 16.16.030 of the Avon Municipal Code, the
factors to be considered in the review of a subdivision sketch plan are:
A. Conformance with the master plan, policies, guidelines, zoning and other applicable
regulations;
B. Suitability of the land for subdivision;
C. Reports and studies of significant hazards, areas or activities of local interest.

We have identified the following issues as being related to these factors in the course of our
review of the West Avon Re-Zoning and Sketch Plan Applications as submitted March 8,
2004.
1.- Subdivision Plat - The Preliminary and Final Subdivision Plat Applications must include
the entire land trade area or as a minimum, the applicable section aliquot lines that define the
area being subdivided to create the proposed platted area The area outside the proposed
platted area should be zoned OLD per current zoning designation.
2. Access -The application documentation includes the following information related to
access:
a. There currently is no legal access to West Avon. The identified potential point of
access will be from Nottingham Road. This access location will require access across
two privately owned parcels.' One parcel is zoned IC and will require relocation of the
existing parking, circulation and storage areas and the second parcel is zoned OLD.'
The second parcel will require a zone change.to allow the construction associated with
the proposed access. -
b. The proposed zoning and development will require a subdivision variance from
road standards to allow a cul-de-sac with a length greater than 1000 feet and serving
more than' 20 residential units. The proposed cul-de-sac would extend approximately
4000 feet beyond the Metcalf Road intersection and would serve approximately 300
residential units per the proposed zoning. •
3. Water & Sewer - The application documentation assumes that the Eagle River Water and
Sanitation District and the Avon Metropolitan District will provide water and sewer service to
the site. The documentation makes no reference to the acquisition or dedication of water
rights required, to serve the development allowed by the proposed zoning. It must be
substantiated through the subdivision process, that sufficient water rights are available to serve
the development allowed by the proposed zoning.
4. Geologic Hazards - Various geologic constraints including subsidence potential,
hydrocompactive soils, areas of debris flow, areas of very active debris fans and areas with
potentially corrosive and expansive soils are noted as present on the West Avon parcel. These
constraints must be fully identified and measures implemented-through the subdivision
process to mitigate associated potential hazards to development allowed by proposed zoning.
5. Traffic - A traffic impact analysis prepared by TDA Colorado was submitted with the
application documentation. The traffic impact analysis. indicates that Nottingham Road
intersections will perform at a satisfactory level of service with some relatively minor
modifications at the Metcalf Road intersection in conjunction with improvements included in
the town's current capital improvement program. The analysis indicates that Tract Y,
Mountain Star should participate in the cost of the Metcalf Road intersection improvements.
These improvements will be addressed in the subdivision process and it is not anticipated that
LAEnginewmg\L=d Tmde\Sketch Res Maw.Doc
• Tract Y will be required to participate in the cost so long as the proposed development is
within allowed uses in the current zoning.
6. Impact on Public Facilities:
a. Public Parks and Recreation - The Sketch Plan does not identify a commitment of
land or financial resources to the impacts of development associated with proposed
zoning on existing town resources.
b. Transportation - The submittal does not address impacts of the subdivision and
potential development associated with the proposed zoning on the town's municipal
transportation system.
c. Bikepaths - The submittal does not address the potential extension of the existing
Nottingham Road Bikepath to serve the proposed subdivision.
All of the above issues should be considered in the review of the proposed zoning application
and must be addressed in the completion of the subdivision process.
If Resolution No. 04-13 denying the proposed re-zoning, as recommended by the Planning
and Zoning Commission is approved, approval of attached Resolution No. 04-14, Series of
2004, A Resolution Denying Subdivision Sketch Plan Approval for Subdivision of a Parcel of
