Erspamer and Colorado Riff Raft, is requesting a temporary use permit to store rafting equipment and vehicles on Lots 7-12, Block 11, Eames Addition, City and Townsite of Aspen, which is located at the intersection of Juan and Aspen Streets. The Community Development Department recommends approval of the temporary use permit for Colorado Riff Raft from May 1, 1997, to September 30, 1997, with conditions. PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION: Council approved this temporary use in this location for 1995 and 1996. BACKGROUND: The applicant has been operating this business in Aspen since 1979. He has used several sites in Aspen for storage and staging of his equipment. This site has proven to be better logistically than other sites. The applicant has been approved for temporary use permits in the past for this site and is proposing virtually the same operation this year. CURRENT ISSUES: No complaints were received last summer regarding Riff Raft's operation on this site. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: There are no discernible public costs associated with this request. STAFF COMMENTS: 26.96.030 Criteria Applicable to all Temporary Uses When considering a development application for a temporary use, City Council shall consider, among other pertinent factors, the following criteria as they, or any of them, relate thereto. A. The location, size, design, operating characteristics, and visual impacts of the proposed use. Staff Finding= Colorado Riff Raft is proposing to use this site to store approximately 20 vehicles and 6 trailers with rafts. This site is approximately 18,000 square feet and is used in the winter as a parking lot for Aspen Skiing Company employees. Raft guides for the morning trips will be on site generally from 6:30 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. Raft guides for the afternoon trips will be on site generally from 11:30 a.m. to around 12:30 p.m. The raft guides will return to the site between 4:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. All guides are expected to be finished by 7:00 p.m. Periodically, guides will be on site for logistics and maintenance. No raft customers will be on site. The applicant should take appropriate measures to detain the effects of the temporary use on site. Including, drainage from washing equipment, tracked mud, parked vehicles, and any trash disposal containers. B. The compatibility of the proposed temporary use with the character, density and use of structures and uses in the immediate vicinity. Staff Finding_ This property is zoned R-15 PUD. Zone districts in the immediate vicinity are L/TR, PH, & AH1-PUD. The uses in the area are mostly residential and small lodges. The applicant has worked with the neighbors to ensure they are not disturbed by the operation. Letters of support are included as Exhibit "C." C. The impacts of the proposed use on pedestrian and vehicular traffic and traffic patterns, municipal services, noise levels, and neighborhood character. Staff Finding: The temporary use will have very little impact on the traffic patterns in the area. The applicant should make proper arrangements with the Water Department for water to be used. Noise levels are expected to be minimal and diminished by the surrounding vegetation. D. The duration of the proposed temporary use and whether a temporary use has previously been approved for the structure, parcel, property or location as proposed in the application. 0 • Staff Finding_ The proposed temporary use will be from May 1, 1997, to September 30, 1997. A temporary use permit was approved in for this use in this location in 1995 & 1996. E. The purposes and intent of the zone district in which the temporary use is proposed. Staff Finding The purpose of the R-15 zone district is "to provide area for long-term residential purposes with customary accessory uses." The site, however, is somewhat separated form the surrounding uses, and the applicant has maintained a good relationship with the neighbors. Due to these factors, Staff feels that this temporary use is compatible with the area. F. The relation of the temporary use to conditions and character changes which may have occurred in the area and zone district in which the use is proposed. Staff Finding,; Because Colorado Riff Raft has support from the neighbors, Staff feels that this temporary use is compatible with the area. The use is also compatible with the surrounding L/TR zone district as they both serve the summer tourist market. G. How the proposed temporary use will enhance or diminish the general public health, safety, or welfare. Staff Finding; The storage of rafting equipment on this site will not diminish the public health, safety, or general welfare. Successful local businesses enhance the general public welfare. RECOMMENDATION: The Community Development Department recommends approval of the Colorado Riff Raft temporary use permit for the storage of raft equipment and vehicles on Lots 7-12, Block 11, Eames Addition, City and Townsite of Aspen, with the following conditions: 1) The duration of this temporary use permit shall be from May 1, 1997, to September 30, 1997. 2) Raft guides may be on site from 6:30 a.m. to 9:00 a.m., from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., and from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. Raft guides may be on site for incidental reasons anytime between 6:30 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. No raft guides may be on site between 7:00 p.m. and 6:30 a.m. 3) The applicant shall take appropriate measures to detain the effects of the temporary use on site. Including, but not limited to, drainage from washing equipment, tracked mud, parked vehicles, and any trash disposal containers. 4) The applicant will make appropriate arrangements with the City Water Department. 5) No customers of Riff Raft are permitted on site. 6) The applicant shall manage and conduct activities on site in such a manner as not to create a nuisance, as defined in Section 15.04.520 of the Municipal Code. 7) The applicant shall not create or allow noise levels in excess of those permitted level as set forth in Section 18.04.040 of the Municipal Code. 8) The applicant shall comply with Section 13.08.110 of the Municipal Code, which prohibits idling the motor of a stationary vehicle for more than 5 minutes within any one hour time period. 9) The applicant shall adhere to all representations made in the application and in public hearings. Failure to comply with the conditions of approval or representations made shall be cause for the suspension of the temporary use permit. PROPOSED MOTION: "I move to approve Resolution No. o2002—for a temporary use permit for Colorado Riff Raft to store rafting equipment and vehicles on Lots 7-12, Block 11, Eames Addition, City and Townsite of Aspen."

Prior Approvals and Use: This applicant's previous use of the same location for the temporary staging area for this seasonal rafting operation has not caused any complaints or problems with the neighbors or general public that were brought to the attention of the Engineering Dept. 2. Water Usage: The water department has requested that the applicants make proper arrangements with the City Water Utility Dept. for the water used by the applicants. 3. Retention of Drainage and Trash Disposal: Any drainage flows generated on this site (washing of rafts, vehicles, equipment, etc.) will need to be detained on the site and preferably disposed of on the site rather than discharged on to S. Aspen Street. The applicant shall take appropriate measures including installation of temporary mud racks, etc. to prevent tracking mud or debris onto the City streets. Any trash disposal containers should be kept on -site and not placed in the public right-of-way. 4. Vehicle Parking: Vehicle parking should be restricted to the parking lot and not encroach on to the streets of the surrounding neighborhood. 1 OF 1 DRCM0697.DOC MEMORANDUM To: Chris Bendon, Planning Office Through: Lee Cassin, Assistant Environmental Health Director From: Mary Wood, Environmental Health Specialist Date: March 25, 1997 Re: Colorado Riff Raft Temporary Use Permit for '97 Season Parcel ID No. 2735-131-14-003 The Aspen/Pitkin Environmental Health Department has reviewed the land use submittal under authority of the Municipal Code of the City of Aspen, and has the following comments. AIR QUALITY: Sections 11-2.1 "It is the purpose of the air quality section of the Municipal .Code] to achieve the maximum practical degree of air purity possible by requiring the use of all available practical methods and. techniques to control, prevent and reduce air pollution throughout the City..." The Land Use Regulations seek to "lessen congestion" and "avoid transportation demands that cannot be met" as well as to "provide clean air by protecting the natural air sheds and reducing pollutants". The applicant must comply with Ordinance No. 74, Section 11.2.70 which refers to engine idling. It is unlawful to permit the idling of a motor for more than 5 minutes within any one hour period of time. The applicant should be considerate of the neighborhoods that surround the parking lot located on the corner of Juan and Aspen Streets. NOISE ABATEMENT: Section 16-1 "The city council finds and declares that noise is a significant source of environmental pollution that represents a .present and increasing threat to the public peace and to the health, safety and welfare of the residents of the City of Aspen and it its visitors. .....Accordingly, it is the policy of council to provide standards for permissible noise levels in various areas and manners and at various times and to prohibit noise in excess of those levels." Colorado Riff Raft will need to comply with Aspen's noise ordinance which restricts the decibel (dB) level in the lodge district to 60 dB between 7:00 AM and 10:00 PM and 55 dB between 10:00 PM and 7:00 AM. 1 MEMO To: Chris Bendon From: Ed Van Walraven, Fire Marshal Subject: CO Rift -Raft Parcel ID #2735-131-14-003 Date: March 21, 1997 Clark, No comments other than it would be advisable to have them install fire extinguishers in the vehicles.

TO: Chris Bendon, Community Development FROM: Rebecca Schickling, Parks Department DATE: March 10, 1997 RE: Temporary Use Permit for Colorado Rift Raft CC: Engineering Department We have reviewed the application submitted by L.J.

I hope that you have a great summer rafting season. Good luck!

Galena Aspen, CO 81611 ATTN: Chris Bendon Dear Chris, I would like to apply for a temporary Use permit for the Tennis Courts parking lot across the street from the Skiers Chalet Steakhouse on the corner of Juan and Aspen Street. We have been there in the past and have had no problems in the neighborhood. We need a place to park our buses, vans, trailers and equipment for river raring operations in Aspen. We need to inflate and deflate rafts, rig paddles, life jackets, throw lines and other equipment for our trips. We are the only raft company based in Aspen. It is very important for the guests that come to Aspen to have a quality river experience that they expect while visiting this community. This can be accomplished by having our equipment located near our main office in Aspen. The size of the area is about as large as two tennis courts. Some guides report at 6:30am while most report at 7:00am or later to prepare the trips. We will finish the preparations by 8:30 or 9:OOam. The afternoon trips will have the guides report at 11:30am and depart at about 12:30pm. The trips return between 4pm and 6Fn and all guides should be finished by 7:OOpm. Periodically we have to be on site throughout the day for logistics and maintenance. The visual and audio effects area at a minimum due to the bushes and shrubbery around the site. The impact is minimal to the neighborhood. Sound will be minimized as the vehicles will park in a perimeter around the lot. There is very little traffic at this site due to the dead end of Aspen Street at the Lift 1 A area. There is very little pedestrian traffic as well. The vehicles will drive up Aspen Street from Durant about 1 block. We will not use any permanent structures. The neighborhood character will not change as this site has been a parking lot. We will Sweep this lot and keep it clean. This will improve the area and the image of it. The proposal will not increase the density in any way. We would like to start on location May 1, 1997. Our lease runs until September 30, 1997. We have a renewal for 4 more years on our lease with the same dates for each summer. The use of this lot will reduce the amount of traffic coming into and out of Aspen during the day especially during rush hour. This will be a great asset to the community as it will reduce pollution and traffic congestion. This use would allow us to respond in a more affective manner to our guests and locals for the spontaneous river trip. I have included some letters from the neighbors that approve the Temporary use. We have a very special relationship with the neighbors and will work very hard to continue to have this special feeling. We have been in the rafting and outdoor business since 1979. We started at the old base of Little Nell. We have moved to several locations since Aspen has grown. This area has proved to have the least impact and best reception with the neighbors than any other area. I feel the Temporary Use permit is the best method for this area at this time. thank you for taking your time to review this request. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. Sincerely, U LJ pamer Owner • February 25, 1997 John Erspamer 534 Spruce Aspen, CO 81611 Aspen Planning and Zoning 130 S.
