AVON — — The Avon Town Council is trying to keep moving forward on a settlement with Village at Avon developers, but that forward progress required a step back Tuesday.
After a public hearing lasting the better part of five hours, council members voted unanimously to grant initial approval to a “planned unit development” amendment for the 1,700-acre project. That approval came with an important caveat, though — make it more simple.
Tuesday’s vote was the latest step toward settling a pair of lawsuits first filed in 2009. The town first sued Village at Avon developers and the Traer Creek Metropolitan district. Those entities sued the town right back.
Just weeks before a scheduled trial in October of last year, the parties announced they had signed a “settlement term sheet” to end the litigation.
