Re: Resolution No. 06-31 A Resolution Changing the,Name of Mountain Star
Drive to Buck Creek Road in the Town of Avon, Eagle County, Colorado
(Public Hearing)
Summary: Steven C. Coyer, President of the Mountain Star Association, per attached
letter (Exhibit 2), has requested that the name of Mountain Star Drive be changed to Buck
Creek Road so the name will be consistent from Nottingham Road to the intersection with
Wildwood Road.- Adoption of Resolution No. 06-31, Series of 2006 (Exhibit 1) will change
the name of Mountain Star Drive to Buck Creek Road and is recommended for approval.
Discussion: The section of roadway that extended northward to the original Town
boundary from Nottingham Road, toward what is now Mountain Star, was named Buck Creek
Road on the Official Plat-Town of Avon and Final Subdivision Plat-Amendment No. 4,
Benchmark at Beaver Creek, Eagle County, Colorado. That name was continued through
various resubdivisions and replats including the current.Wildwood Resort PUD. When -this
road was extended across U. S. Forest Service Property that was subsequently added -to
Mountain Star as Filing No. 2, the extension was named Mountain Star Drive. This has
resulted in some confusion with respect to providing directions to Mountain Star and thus the
subsequent request for the name change.
On April 12, 2005, the Avon Town Council adopted Ordinance No. 05-02 establishing
criteria for the names of streets. These criteria included:
(1) Names shall relate to one (1) or more of the following:
a. The history of the State, the Town and the area, including persons associated
with that history;
b. Skiing and the history of skiing;
c. Local flora and fauna
d. Local geography, including creeks, lakes and mountain peaks; and
e. The American West, particularly including farming, mining, ranching and
Native American culture '

Buck Creek Road fits these criteria as it is adjacent to Buck Creek for a significant portion of
its length.
A Notice of Public Hearing (Exhibit 3) has been posted for the proposed name change to be
consistent with Subdivision regulations under which street names are established. If the name
change is approved, Resolution No. 06-31 will be recorded with the Eagle County Clerk and
recorder to officially complete the change.
Recommendation: Approve Resolution No. 06-31, Series of 2006, A Resolution
Changing the Name of Mountain Star Drive to Buck Creek Road in the Tow o Avon Eagle
County, Colorado.
-Proposed Motion: I move to approve Resolution No. 06-31, Series of 2006, A
Resolution Changing the Name of Mountain -Star Drive, to Buck Creek Road in the Tow o -
Avon Eagle County, Colorado.
