Welcome to Avon Township
Avon Township is located in central Minnesota, approximately 15 miles NW of St.
Cloud, Stearns County. The City of Avon lies roughly in the center
of the township. The landscape, which was shaped by past glacial
activity, is primarily rolling hills interspersed with lakes. The
pre-settlement vegetation was largely oak
woodlands with scattered
lakes, wetlands and prairies. The flatter terrain and wetlands
have made good farm land while the oak forests, many of which remain
intact, provide the basis for the
Avon
Hills Initiative. The
township is committed to preserving the rural and agricultural
atmosphere of this area. The
Lake Wobegon Trail runs east-to-west across the
entire the township highlighting the natural beauty of the area.
There are approximately 2100 residents in the
township.
The township is governed by a Board comprised of three Supervisors. They are
supported by a Clerk and Treasurer. The Supervisors make all
final decisions about township business. The Planning Commission
is comprised on five members and supported by a Deputy Clerk. The
purpose of the Planning Commission is to make recommendations to the
Supervisors concerning variances, etc.
The Township Supervisors and Planning Commission meet on the first and
last Wednesday, respectively, of the month. Meetings are held at
Avon City Hall, 140 Stratford Street E., Avon MN, 56310. The meetings are open to the public and
all are welcome. To include an item on the agenda of the Board of
Supervisors or Planning Commission, contact the Township Clerk.
Items received less than a week before the meeting cannot be guaranteed
to be on the agenda until the following meeting.
Legal notices are published in the
Stearns-Morrison Enterprise and are typically posted at various
locations in Avon (e.g., Dahlin's Grocery, Avon State Bank).
