Special Meeting Planning and Zoning Department March 22, 1977
The meeting was called to order at 5:10 PM. Chic Collins,
Roger Hunt, Danny Abbott, Dick Kienast and Tom Isaac were
present. Also present was Hal Clark of the Planning department
and City Attorney Dorothy Nuttall.
Montgomery Clark reviewed the appropriateness of Montgomery Ward applying
Ward license for a zoning exemption. 1) Alpine Wholesale already has been
at that site and it was essentially the same type of business.
2) They already have a business license from the city for
that use. 3) We recommend that since they already have a
valid use at that site that they just withdraw their application.
As an additional comment we recognize the access problems of
using that site and we will work with Mr. Andrews and the
engineering department to try to resolve those problems.
Collins entertained a motion to the effect that we recognize
the memo from the Planning department that Montgomery Ward's
has a non-conforming status and that they be permitted to
withdraw their application and that they continue to work
with the city engineer's office to correct the blocking and
traffic access at the site. Hunt made a motion. Isaac
seconded. Motion approved.
Lacy Duplex
Condo
Clark discussed the Lacy request. This is a duplex located on
the corner of Hopkins and Park Ave. This is a request for a
stream margin review and for an exemption to PUD requirements
on property owned by Joe Lacy who is represented by Ted Mularz
the architect for the project. A duplex is required to be
processed through the PUD requirements. It has been determined
from the plans that he is exempt from PUD requirements.
The building would be located above the 100 year flood line.
No vegetation would be disturbed. We recommend the conditions
outlined in the letter.
Lacy Duplex. Stream margin review and PUD inspection.
A discussion of the ditch pursued. The architect clarified
that he would build over the ditch and not obstruct it.
Hunt motioned that we approve the stream margin review and
recommend exemption from PUD for the Lacy duplex as presented
on the preliminary drawing dated March 18, 1977. Any changes
to the single access to the property, the vegetation plan or
the structure location would nullify this motion and would
subject the project to further review, Further conditions
1) information be provided satisfactory to the city engineer
establishing the right to build over a ditch as shown in the
sight plan; 2) adequate measure being taken during construction
to protect the stream bank from errosion and the stream from
additional sedimentation; and 3) a fifteen foot public trail
easement to be dedicated through the property along the stream
side precise location to be determined cooperatively with
Mr. Lacy and the city. Isaac seconded. Motion passed.
Condominiumization.
Goodheim talked about the condo study. Study focuses on
condo of apartment dwellings as opposed to duplexes. The
reasons for this were that there is some question as to the
impact of duplexes of condo and data is much more easily
obtainable for the larger structures. Condo of apartments
has significant impact because it is done is large chunks.
Special Meeting continued Planning and Zoning Comm, March 22, 1977
32 percent of the housing in Aspen in condo. Over the past ten
years 80 percent of the construction has been in condo form.
Now most preferred type of ownership. Provides highest and
best use for a piece of property.
We have to decide what sort of community we want to be. We
do need to maintain a significant number of apartments in
this community for the employees. Need a new set of guidelines.
It is becoming a social question. We need to control the effects
My project is studying the Redwoods, 700 West Hopkins, the
Tailings and Aspen View and who the condominiumizing entity
is - tenants, third party, real estate, etc. I am also
studying the displacement effects.
We want to discourage the lack of housing opportunity because
of appreciation and the gradual drying up of the rental market,
but not home ownership in particular.
Collins suggested that this packet be included in the report
for the next meeting.
The meeting was adjourned at 7:10 PM.
