AVON— —By the end of Monday’s meeting of the Avon Planning and Zoning Commission, the vote seemed inevitable. The result: A recommendation that the Avon Town Council deny a land use plan for the Village at Avon.
The Town Council has for nearly a year been working on a settlement agreement with Village at Avon developers, with the goal of resolving a pair of lawsuits dating back to 2009. That settlement agreement also includes multiple changes to the original land-use plan, initially approved by the town in 1998.
Those changes have drawn a lot of drawn-out discussion, from both the planning commission and Town Council. Some of the changes, particularly those affecting the property between the Traer Creek Plaza building and the rodeo grounds, have sparked stiff opposition from residents and property owners just across the railroad tracks.
