PROPOSED LAND USE:
Temporary Use Permit for Tent
Academic (A) with an SPA overlay
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the Temporary Use
Permit.
SUMMARY:
The Applicant requests a temporary use permit for
the Greenwald Tent for the 2007 Summer.
The proposed temporary use would allow the same tent as is
shown above. The tent is proposed for the same location and
would operate for a shorter amount of time than it did in the
summers of 2005 and 2006.
LAND USE REQUESTS AND REVIEW PROCEDURES:
The Applicant is requesting the following land use approval:
Temporary Use Permit for a tent pursuant to Land Use Code Section 26.450.030 (City
Council is the final review authority who may approve, approve with conditions, or deny
the permit).

Staff Report, page 1
ISSUE SUMMARY'
At the February 12, 2007 City Council meeting, the public and the City Council raised concerns
regarding the events to take place in the tent. Concerns regarding noise and landscaping were
also brought up. Staff has not attached the application to this memo, so please bring what was
provided for the February 12, 2007 hearing.
Events in the Tent:
Since the February 12, 2007 Council meeting the Applicant has determined that only Aspen
Institute sponsored and co -sponsored events will be held in the Greenwald Pavilion tent. This
will preclude any private events, such as parties and weddings from being held in the tent.
Condition 11, Section 1 has been added to the Resolution to reflect this. Aspen Institute
sponsored events include events like the Ideas Festival, while co -sponsored events include events
with the Aspen Center for Integrative Health, the Music Association of Aspen, etc. Any co-
sponsored events would abide by the Shared Facilities Agreement adopted as part of the SPA.
An explanation is also attached as Exhibit B.
Noise:
Staff has added Condition 12, Section 1 to the Resolution calling for a noise suppression plan to
be submitted to the City's Environmental Health Department prior to use of the tent. This plan
would include information on the events anticipated for the tent and the methods to ensure the
tent operates within the requirements of the City's Noise Ordinance. The Aspen Institute is
classified as a residential area in the City's Noise Ordinance (Title 18 of the Municipal Code),
and therefore cannot exceed 55 decibels during the day and 50 decibels at night. Below is a table
taken from Title 18:

This condition was recommended by the Environmental Health Department. However the
Applicant feels the provisions in Title 18 should suffice for regulating noise levels. Staff has
included the condition as written by Environmental Health as Condition 12 in Section 1 of the
attached Resolution. Staff recommends including this condition of approval to ensure measures
are taken before the tent is used that will help ensure the tent operations abide by the provisions
in Title 18.
Landscaping:
Some members of the public brought up comments relating to the visual impacts of the tent and
proposed additional landscaping be added to minimize their view of the tent. Attached in Exhibit
B is a brief outline of previous landscaping at the Institute. The Applicant proposes waiting on
any additional landscaping until it is determined if the tent will be made permanent through an
SPA Amendment. Staff agrees with the Applicant that screening should be done following the
determination to make the tent permanent. Because this is a temporary use Staff does not feel an
additional condition requiring added screening for the tent is required at this time.

STAFF COMMENTS:
TEMPORARY USE PERMIT
The Applicant is requesting a Temporary Use Permit for the same tent with the same dimensions
and operating characteristics as the Temporary Use Permit approved in Resolution 22, Series
2006. The only difference in this approval is the operational time period, which is proposed
from June 281h through August 281h. This is one month shorter in length than the previous
approval. The proposal calls for a sixty (60) foot by one -hundred (100) foot main tent a catering
wing measuring twenty (20) feet by forty (40) feet. These are the same dimensions as were
approved in Resolution 22, Series 2005. Added to this Resolution is a condition prohibiting
Rather than submitting an Application to make the Greenwald Pavilion tent a permanent
structure, the Applicant is requesting a new Temporary Use Permit to gage the Institute's needs
for the tent in the future. The Doerr -Hosier building is opening this summer, giving the Institute
an additional facility to house conference activities. After the summer, the Institute will evaluate
the summer operations and determine if a tent is still needed. At that time the Applicant will
either need to submit an SPA Amendment requesting a permanent structure, or will need to
remove the tent and follow the approved native vegetation restoration plan required in
Resolution 22, Series 2005 and in Resolution 8, Series 2007.
The Temporary Use review criteria are outlined in Land Use Code section 26.450.030; Staff
Review is attached as Exhibit A.
Staff recommends approval of the Temporary Use Permit for the Greenwald Pavilion tent. The
Applicant is requesting this Temporary Use Permit rather than requesting an SPA Amendment at
this time because the Institute would like to evaluate the permanent need for the tent given the
fact that the Doerr -Hosier building is opening for the summer. Staff finds that this one-time
Temporary Use Permit is consistent with the previous approval, is consistent with the mission of
the Aspen Institute, is consistent with the Academic zoning and the SPA overlay, and will be a
benefit to the greater community. There are some visual impacts to neighboring properties,
which the Applicant has taken into consideration by shortening the time the tent will be up from
three (3) months to two (2) months. The tent will be up from June 28 through August. The
Temporary Use Permit would be valid from June 21, 2007 to September 4, 2007 to allow the
Applicant one (1) week to set up the tent and one (1) week to take down the tent. Staff finds the
tent meets the Temporary Use Permit review criteria and recommends in favor of the temporary
use.
REFERRAL AGENCY COMMENTS:
The Historic Preservation Commission has been notified of the proposed temporary use permit
for the tent. The Commission has not expressed concern to Staff regarding the temporary use
permit. Parks and Environmental Health were also contacted regarding the temporary use, and
recommend approval as it is consistent with the approval received in 2005 and 2006.

EXHIBIT A
26.450.030 CRITERIA APPLICABLE TO ALL TEMPORARY USES.
Section 26.450.030 of the City Land Use Code provides that the City Council shall consider the
following criteria, as applicable, when reviewing development applications for a temporary use:
A. The location, size, design, operating characteristics, and visual impacts of the proposed
use.
The proposed temporary use is for the existing Greenwald Pavilion Tent at the Aspen
Institute. The Institute received temporary use approval from the City Council to operate
the tent in the summers of 2005 and 2006. The tent is sixty (60) feet by one -hundred
(100) feet with a catering wing of twenty (20) feet by forty (40) feet.
The temporary use now proposed is the same as was originally approved for the summers
of 2005 and 2006, with the exception of the time period. The time period proposed for
the 2007 summer is from June 28 — August 28, one month sorter than in the 2005 and
2006 approval.
The tent will be used, as it was used in the summers of 2005 and 2006, to house events
for the Aspen Ideas Festival, the Brainstorm Fortune Conference, and the Aspen institute
Summer Celebration. The Institute will not allow private events, such as parties or
weddings in the tent.
Staff finds this criterion to be met.
B. The compatibility of the proposed temporary use with the character, density and use of
structures and uses in the immediate vicinity.
The proposed tent is compatible with the existing uses in the Aspen Institute SPA. The
tent is used for activities related to events such as the Aspen Ideas Festival. The
Greenwald Tent was used in the summers of 2005 and 2006. Continuing the use of the
tent for the 2007 summer is consistent with the previous approval and activities on -site.
Staff finds this criterion to be met.
C. The impacts of the proposed temporary use on pedestrian and vehicular traffic and
traffic patterns, municipal services, noise levels, and neighborhood character.
The proposed temporary tent has visual impacts on neighboring properties, especially
those across the Roaring Fork River. This summer the Doerr -Hosier Center will open,
providing additional seating and catering facilities at the institute. The Aspen Institute is
requesting this temporary use permit to determine if the tent is needed in the future.
The tent will be required to abide by all noise requirements in the zone district. The
anticipated municipal services will not exceed those needed in the previous approvals.
Staff finds this criterion to be met.
•
L�
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.
The temporary tent is .proposed to be in operation from June 28 through August 28, with
set-up and take -down the week before and after the operational time period. The
approval for the 2005 and 2006 summers was from July 1 through September 28, with
set-up and take -down the week before and after the operational time period.
The operational time for this temporary use permit is shorter than the previous approvals.
The time period is appropriate for the proposed uses in the tent, including the Aspen
Ideas Festival.
Staff finds this criterion to be met.
E. The purposes and intent of the zone district in which the temporary use is proposed
The Aspen Institute is zoned Academic -Specially Planned Area (A -SPA). The tent is
consistent with the purpose and intent of the Academic zone district and with the
Institute's SPA.
Staff finds this criterion to be met.
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
The use of a tent for summer programs is consistent with the historic and current uses of
the Aspen Institute. The Institute has not undergone significant changes from its
establishment in the 1950s, though there has been significant residential development on
neighboring properties. The temporary use permit is consistent with the previous
temporary use approval.
Staff finds this criterion to be met.
G. How the proposed temporary use will enhance or diminish the general public health,
safety or welfare.
The tent will be used to provide an additional venue for events, such as the Aspen Ideas
Festival, the Brainstorm Fortune Conference, and the Aspen Institute Summer
Celebration. These events are beneficial to the community, as they provide educational
opportunities consistent with the Art, Culture, and Education section of the Aspen Area
Community Plan.
Staff finds this criterion to be met.

Subject: Re: Aspen Institute
Spoke with Amy Margerum this morning. In summary:
1. As a good neighbor, the Institute is willing to prohibit private events, ie weddings, parties, etc.
Allowed events will be Institute sponsored or co -sponsored events with other non -profits. For example,
the Institute & Music Association of Aspen have co -sponsored events tentatively sch, fortt7/14/07 &
8/12/07. The Institute & MAA have co -sponsored events in the past in accordance'with the "Shared
Facilities Agreement" adopted as part of the 1992 SPA Deve. Agreement. The Institute also co-
sponsored an event with the Aspen Center for Integrative Health last summer & has beenapproached by
the Integrative Health people for this summer. -The Institute is still firming up its summer scb. for the
Tent, but at this time it appears like their may be fewer events than last summer simply duerto the
shorter 2 month period which was previously committed to.
2. Noise Abatement Ordinance. The Institute understands the operations of the Tent must comply with
the Noise Abatement Ordinance. The Abatement Ordinance is very specific with criteria, requirements
& dBA levels so I do not see what a separate "Noise Suppression Plan" would include. It seems cleaner
& simpler to me to just have one controlling document all parties, including the Institute & neighbors,
can reference & follow, ie the Noise Abatement Ordinance. Plus, this doc. is publicly available on the
City's web site & is kept current by the City Clerk if amended.
3. Additional Landscape Screening. I thought this was suggested by Steve Hansen in his public
comments, so I wanted to share the Institute's thoughts on this. The Institute voluntarily spent
approximately $ 13,000 in summer of 1995 for landscape screening. The Institute would recommend
waiting on additional screening until a decision is determined after the summer 2007 season on the
permanent or non -permanent status of the Tent. The whole reason for the Temp. Use Permit is so the
Institute, neighbors & City can evaluate the need or non -need for the Tent based on opening of the
Doerr -Hosier bldg. It seems premature to plant additional trees for 2 months until the long-term is
decided.
I will be happy to sit down with you next Tues. & review the Institute's thoughts in more detail if you
would like. But, I wanted to get back to you today because I said I would. I also plan to share the above
with our Pitkin Green neighbors before next Monday's City Council meeting. I would hope that by
prohibiting private functions & weddings the neighbors are more comfortable with the temporary use of
the Tent for this summer.
Thanks,
Jim Curtis

Hi Jessica
I was not able to get to the last meeting but I have spoken with Jim Curtis and Steve
Hansen . I also spoke with Jenette Murison at Environmental Health and was educated it
the requirements of the "noise ordinance" . If the Institute can comply with the
ordinance it will go a long way to reducing the impact on the neighbors over here! The
question is , how is it going to be monitored and what is going to be done if the noise
levels are exceeded? Without some
specific plan for measurement the controversy cannot be resolved.
Jim Curtis told me that the Institute would resist a requirement that would require them
to submit a mitigation plan because it is another layer of paperwork for them. I
understand that ,but it seems to me that it is important for them to be prepared to be in
compliance if they are found not to be.
I understand that there was discussion of additional landscaping to be installed this
summer to screen the tent from this side of the river. Frankly, this seems premature.
Landscaping could more properly be made a part of any application that may come up if the
Institute wants to make the tent a permanent facility.
Why waste the money if they decide not to need the tent. It is going to take a major
effort to effectively screen the tent and a piecemeal approach may just make a
comprehensive plan more difficult to accomplish in the long run.
Thanks,
Fred Davies

Subject: Re: Aspen Institute
Spoke with Amy Margerum this morning. In summary:
1. As a good neighbor, the Institute is willing to prohibit private events, ie weddings, parties, etc.
Allowed events will be Institute sponsored or co -sponsored events with other non -profits. For example,
the Institute & Music Association of Aspen have co -sponsored events tentatively sch. for 7/14/07 &
8/12/07. The Institute & MAA have co -sponsored events in the past in accordance with the "Shared
Facilities Agreement" adopted as part of the 1992 SPA Deve. Agreement. The Institute also co-
sponsored an event with the Aspen Center for Integrative Health last summer & has been approached by
the Integrative Health people for this summer. The Institute is still firming up its summer sch. for the
Tent, but at this time it appears like their may be fewer events than last summer simply due to the
shorter 2 month period which was previously committed to.
2. Noise Abatement Ordinance. The Institute understands the operations of the Tent must comply with
the Noise Abatement Ordinance. The Abatement Ordinance is very specific with criteria, requirements
& dBA levels so I do not see what a separate "Noise Suppression Plan" would include. It seems cleaner
& simpler to me to just have one controlling document all parties, including the Institute & neighbors,
can reference & follow, ie the Noise Abatement Ordinance. Plus, this doc. is publicly available on the
City's web site & is kept current by the City Clerk if amended.
3. Additional Landscape Screening. I thought this was suggested by Steve Hansen in his public
comments, so I wanted to share the Institute's thoughts on this. The Institute voluntarily spent
approximately $ 13,000 in summer of 1995 for landscape screening. The Institute would recommend
waiting on additional screening until a decision is determined after the summer 2007 season on the
permanent or non -permanent status of the Tent. The whole reason for the Temp. Use Permit is so the
Institute, neighbors & City can evaluate the need or non -need for the Tent based on opening of the
Doerr -Hosier bldg. It seems premature to plant additional trees for 2 months until the long-term is
decided.
I will be happy to sit down with you next Tues. & review the Institute's thoughts in more detail if you
would like. But, I wanted to get back to you today because I said I would. I also plan to share the above
with our Pitkin Green neighbors before next Monday's City Council meeting. I would hope that by
prohibiting private functions & weddings the neighbors are more comfortable with the temporary use of
the Tent for this summer.
Thanks,
Jim Curtis

RE: Aspen Institute Temporary Use Permit (Greenwald Pavilion Tent) —
ResolutionB, Series 2007
MEETING DATE: February 12, 2007
APPLICANT /OWNER: STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Aspen Institute Staff recommends approval of the Temporary Use
Permit.
REPRESENTATIVE:
Jim Curtis, Curtis & Associates
LOCATION:
Aspen Institute
1000 N. Third St., Lot 1 — 13, Aspen
Meadows Subdivision
CURRENT ZONING & USE
Academic (A) with an SPA overlay
PROPOSED LAND USE:
Temporary Use Permit for Tent
Academic (A) with an SPA overlay
SUMMARY:
The Applicant requests a temporary use permit for
the Greenwald Tent for the 2007 Summer.
The proposed temporary use would allow the same tent as is
shown above. The tent is proposed for the same location and
would operate for a shorter amount of time than it did in the
summers of 2005 and 2006.
LAND USE REQUESTS AND REVIEW PROCEDURES:
The Applicant is requesting the following land use approval:
Temporary Use Permit for a tent pursuant to Land Use Code Section 26.450.030 (Cit
Council is the final review authority who may approve, approve with conditions, or deny
the permit).
PROJECT BACKGROUND AND SUMMARY:
In 2005, the City Council approved Resolution 22, Series of 2005, approving a Temporary Use
Permit for the Greenwald Pavilion tent at the Aspen Institute for the summers of 2005 and 2006.
The previous approval was for a sixty (60) foot by one -hundred (100) foot main tent a catering
wing measuring twenty (20) feet by forty (40) feet for July I" through September 28`h 2005 and
2006. The institute held a number of events in 2005 and 2006 that used the tent, including: The
Aspen Institute Temporary Use Permit
Staff Report, page 1
Aspen Ideas Festival, the Brainstorm Fortune Conference, and the Aspen Institute Summer
Celebration. The Applicant has included a copy of Resolution 22, Series 2005 in the
Application, attached hereto as Exhibit B.
STAFF COMMENTS:
TEMPORARY USE PERMIT
The Applicant is requesting a Temporary Use Permit for the same tent with the same dimensions
and operating characteristics as the Temporary Use Permit approved in Resolution 22, Series
2006. The only difference in this approval is the operational time period, which is proposed
from June 281h through August 28`h. This is one month shorter in length than the previous
approval.
Rather than submitting an Application to make the Greenwald Pavilion tent a permanent
structure, the Applicant is requesting a new Temporary Use Permit to gage the Institute's needs
for the tent in the future. The Doerr -Hosier building is opening this summer, giving the Institute
an additional facility to house conference activities. After the summer, the Institute will evaluate
the summer operations and determine if a tent is still needed. At that time the Applicant will
either need to submit an SPA Amendment requesting a permanent structure, or will need to
remove the tent and follow the approved native vegetation restoration plan required in
Resolution 22, Series 2006 and in the attached Resolution.
The Temporary Use review criteria are outlined in Land Use Code section 26.450.030; Staff
Review is attached as Exhibit A.
Staff recommends approval of the Temporary Use Permit for the Greenwald Pavilion tent. The
Applicant is requesting this Temporary Use Permit rather than requesting an SPA Amendment at
this time because the Institute would like to evaluate the permanent need for the tent given the
fact that the Doerr -Hosier building is opening for the summer. Staff finds that this one-time
Temporary Use Permit is consistent with the previous approval, is consistent with the mission of
the Aspen Institute, is consistent with the Academic zoning and the SPA overlay, and will be a
benefit to the greater community. There are some visual impacts to neighboring properties,
which the Applicant has taken into consideration by shortening the time the tent will be up from
three (3) months to two (2) months. The tent will be up from June 28 through August. The
Temporary Use Permit would be valid from June 21, 2007 to September 4, 2007 to allow the
Applicant one (1) week to set up the tent and one (1) week to take down the tent. Staff finds the
tent meets the Temporary Use Permit review criteria and recommends in favor of the temporary
use.
REFERRAL AGENCY COMMENTS:
The Historic Preservation Commission has been notified of the proposed temporary use permit
for the tent. The Commission has not expressed concern to Staff regarding the temporary use
permit. Parks and Environmental Health were also contacted regarding the temporary use, and
recommend approval as it is consistent with the approval received in 2005 and 2006.

EXHIBIT A
26.450.030 CRITERIA APPLICABLE TO ALL TEMPORARY USES.
Section 26.450.030 of the City Land Use Code provides that the City Council shall consider the
following criteria, as applicable, when reviewing development applications for a temporary use:
A. The location, size, design, operating characteristics, and visual impacts of the proposed
use.
The proposed temporary use is for the existing Greenwald Pavilion Tent at the Aspen
Institute. The Institute received temporary use approval from the City Council to operate
the tent in the summers of 2005 and 2006. The tent is sixty (60) feet by one -hundred
(100) feet with a catering wing of twenty (20) feet by forty (40) feet.
The temporary use now proposed is the same as was originally approved for the summers
of 2005 and 2006, with the exception of the time period. The time period proposed for
the 2007 summer is from June 28 — August 28, one month sorter than in the 2005 and
2006 approval.
The tent will be used, as it was used in the summers of 2005 and 2006, to house events
for the Aspen Ideas Festival, the Brainstorm Fortune Conference, and the Aspen institute
Summer Celebration.
Staff finds this criterion to be met.
B. The compatibility of the proposed temporary use with the character, density and use of
structures and uses in the immediate vicinity.
The proposed tent is compatible with the existing uses in the Aspen Institute SPA. The
tent is used for activities related to events such as the Aspen Ideas Festival. The
Greenwald Tent was used in the summers of 2005 and 2006. Continuing the use of the
tent for the 2007 summer is consistent with the previous approval and activities on -site.
Staff finds this criterion to be met.
C. The impacts of the proposed temporary use on pedestrian and vehicular traffic and
traffic patterns, municipal services, noise levels, and neighborhood character.
The proposed temporary tent has visual impacts on neighboring properties, especially
those across the Roaring Fork River. This summer the Doerr -Hosier Center will open,
providing additional seating and catering facilities at the institute. The Aspen Institute is
requesting this temporary use permit to determine if the tent is needed in the future.
The tent will be required to abide by all noise requirements in the zone district. The
anticipated municipal services will not exceed those needed in the previous approvals.
Staff finds this criterion to be met.
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.
The temporary tent is proposed to be in operation from June 28 through August 28, with
set-up and take -down the week before and after the operational time period. The
approval for the 2005 and 2006 summers was from July 1 through September 28, with
set-up and take -down the week before and after the operational time period.
The operational time for this temporary use permit is shorter than the previous approvals.
The time period is appropriate for the proposed uses in the tent, including the Aspen
Ideas Festival.
Staff finds this criterion to be met.
E. The purposes and intent of the zone district in which the temporary use is proposed.
The Aspen Institute is zoned Academic -Specially Planned Area (A -SPA). The tent is
consistent with the purpose and intent of the Academic zone district and with the
Institute's SPA.
Staff finds this criterion to be met.
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.
The use of a tent -for summer programs is consistent with the historic and current uses of
the Aspen Institute. The Institute has not undergone significant changes from its
establishment in the 1950s, though there has been significant residential development on
neighboring properties. The temporary use permit is consistent with the previous
temporary use approval.
Staff finds this criterion to be met.
G. How the proposed temporary use will enhance or diminish the general public health,
safety or welfare.
The tent will be used to provide an additional venue for events, such as the Aspen Ideas
Festival, the Brainstorm Fortune Conference, and the Aspen Institute Summer
Celebration. These events are beneficial to the community, as they provide educational
opportunities consistent with the Art, Culture, and Education section of the Aspen Area
Community Plan.
Staff finds this criterion to be met.

DATE: December 12, 2006
RE: Temporary Use Permit Application
Aspen Institute Property
Greenwald Pavilion Tent
1000 N. Third Street
Parcel # 2735-121-29-809
Pursuant to our discussion of December 6, the Aspen Institute requests a
Temporary Use Permit for the Greenwald Pavilion Tent for the Summer of 2007. The
Tent would be up and operable June 28 — August 28. Set-up and take -down would occur
1 week before and after the above dates.
A Temporary Use Permit was previously approved for the Greenwald Pavilion
Tent for the Summers of 2005 & 2006 under City Council Resolution 922 (Series of
2005), attached. The Aspen Institute requests a Temporary Use Permit for the Summer of
2007 to continue the operation of the tent identical to how it was operated in 2005 &
2006, but with a shorter period, June 28 — August 28. This will allow the Aspen Institute
the Summer of 2007 to evaluate the need and operation of the Tent based on the opening
of the new Doerr -Hosier Center in May/June 2007. This phased approach has been
discussed with interested Pitkin Reserve and Pitkin Green neighbors.
The Tent and operations would be the same as 2005 & 2006 with the Main Tent
(60' X 100') and a small Catering Wing (20' X 40') for limited food service. A
vicinity map, site plan and photographs of the tent are attached.

The Tent gives the Aspen Institute a venue to hold larger events during the
summer in a wonderful outdoor setting. The main events held in 2005 & 2006 were the
following:
Aspen Ideas Festival
Brainstorm Fortune Conference -
Aspen Institute Summer
Celebration
Lunches, plenary sessions,
opening & closing sessions
lunches, plenary sessions
lunches, celebration dinner
The Aspen Institute feels the Tent was very successful during 2005 & 2006, and
would like to continue its use to the Summer of 2007. Then, the Aspen Institute can
evaluate its overall needs and operations based on the opening of the Doerr -Hosier Center
and in communications with the Pitkin Reserve and Pitkin Green neighbors.
Temporary Use Permit, Code Section 26.450.030
The criteria for Temporary Use Permit under Code Section 26.450.030 is
addressed below.
A. The location, size, design, operating characteristics, and visual impacts of the
proposed use.
The Tent and operations are the same as approved in 2005 & 2006, but with a
shorter period, June 28 — August 28, versus the July 1 — September 28 period
approved by Resolution #22 (Series of 2005). The Summer of 2007 will give the
Aspen Institute the ability to evaluate the Tent and the Institute's overall needs
and operations based on the opening of the Doerr -Hosier Center. This phased
approach has been discussed with interested Pitkin Reserve and Pitkin Green
neighbors.
B. The compatibility of the proposed temporary use with the character, density and
use of structures and uses in the immediate vicinity.
Summer tents have historically and consistently been used on the Aspen Institute
property. Tents offer flexible venues to hold summer events in a wonderful
outdoor setting. The Aspen Institute feels the Greenwald Tent was very successful
in 2005 & 2006, and would like to continue its use to the Summer of 2007. Then,
the Aspen Institute can evaluate its overall needs and operations based on the

opening of the Doerr -Hosier Center and in communications with the Pitkin
Reserve and Pitkin Green neighbors.
C. The impacts of the proposed temporary use on pedestrian and vehicular traffic
and traffic patterns, municipal services, noise levels, and neighborhood
character.
The Aspen Institute recognizes the Tent and its events have an impact on the
Pitkin Reserve and Pitkin Green neighbors. This is why the Aspen Institute is
proposing to operate the tent for the Summer of 2007, and then evaluate its
overall needs and operations based on the opening of the Doerr -Hosier Center.
This phased approach has been discussed with interested Pitkin Reserve and
Pitkin Green neighbors.
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.
The duration of the proposed temporary use is June 28 — August 28. Set-up and
take -down will occur one week before and after the above dates. This period is
shorter than the July 1 — September 28 duration approved by Resolution #22
(Series of 2005). The Tent was previously approved and up during the Summers
of 2005 & 2006.
E. The purposes and intent of the zone district in which the temporary use is
proposed.
The Aspen Institute parcel is zoned Academic -Specially Planned Area. The
conference, gathering, educational purpose of the Tent is consistent with the
Academic zoning of the parcel.
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.
The Aspen Institute campus was established in the 1950's as a center for the
exchange of ideas and open dialogue. Summer conferences, gatherings, and
events have historically been the focus of the Institute, and summer tents have
historically been used on the campus. The Aspen Institute campus has only
changed modestly over the 50 years, but significant residential development
surrounding the Institute has occurred on Red Mountain, Pitkin Green and Second
Aspen subdivision.

G. How the proposed Temporary Use will enhance or diminish the general public
health, safety or welfare.
The Aspen Institute feels the Tent and the summer events supported by the Tent,
like the Aspen Ideas Festival and Brainstorm Fortune Conference, are beneficial
to and supportive of the Aspen community. Likewise, the Aspen Institute
recognizes the Tent and its events have an impact on the Pitkin Reserve and Pitkin
Green neighbors. This is why the Aspen Institute is proposing operating the Tent
for the Summer of 2007, and then evaluate its overall needs and operations based
on the opening of the Doerr -Hosier Center. This phased approach has been
discussed with interested Pitkin Reserve and Pitkin Green neighbors.

2. APPLICANT understands and agrees that City of Aspen Ordinance No. 57 (Series of 2000)
establishes a fee structure for Land Use applications and the payment of all processing fees is a condition precedent
to a determination of application completeness.
3. APPLICANT and CITY agree that because of the size, nature or scope of the proposed project, it
is not possible at this time to ascertain the full extent of the costs involved in processing the application.
APPLICANT and CITY further agree that it is in the interest of the parties that APPLICANT make payment of an
initial deposit and to thereafter permit additional.. costs to be billed to APPLICANT on a monthly basis.
APPLICANT agrees additional costs may accrue following their hearings and/or approvals. APPLICANT agrees he
will be benefited by retaining greater cash liquidity and will make additional payments upon notification by the
CITY when they are necessary as costs are incurred. CITY agrees it will be benefited through the greater certainty
of recovering its full costs to process APPLICANT'S application.
4. CITY and APPLICANT further agree that it is impracticable for CITY staff to complete
processing or present sufficient information to the Planning Commission and/or City Council to enable the Planning
Commission and/or City Council to make legally required findings for project consideration, unless current billings
are paid in full prior to decision.
5. Therefore, APPLICANT agrees that in consideration of the CITY's waiver of its right to collect
full fees prior to a determination of application completeness, APPLICANT shall pay an initial deposit in the
amount of $ which is for hours of Community Development staff time, and if actual
recorded costs exceed the initial deposit, APPLICANT shall pay additional monthly billings to CITY to reimburse
the CITY for the processing of the application mentioned above, including post approval review at a rate of $220.00
per planner hour over the initial deposit. Such periodic payments shall be made within 30 days of the billing date.
APPLICANT further agrees that failure to pay such accrued costs shall be grounds for suspension of processing, and
in no case will building permits be issued until all costs associated with case processing have been paid.

RE: Temporary Use Permit Application

ASPEN
BUILDING DEPARTMENT
Pursuant to our discussion of December 6, the Aspen Institute requests a
Temporary Use Permit for the Greenwald Pavilion Tent for the Summer of 2007. The
Tent would be up and operable June 28 — August 28. Set-up and take -down would occur
1 week before and after the above dates.
A Temporary Use Permit was previously approved for the Greenwald Pavilion
Tent for the Summers of 2005 & 2006 under City Council Resolution #22 (Series of
2005), attached. The Aspen Institute requests a Temporary Use Permit for the Summer of
2007 to continue the operation of the tent identical to how it was operated in 2005 &
2006, but with a shorter period, June 28 — August 28. This will allow the Aspen Institute
the Summer of 2007 to evaluate the need and operation of the Tent based on the opening
of the new Doerr -Hosier Center in May/June 2007. This phased approach has been
discussed with interested Pitkin Reserve and Pitkin Green neighbors.
The Tent and operations would be the same as 2005 & 2006 with the Main Tent
(60' X 100') and a small Catering Wing (20' X 40') for limited food service. A
vicinity snap, site plan and photographs of the tent are attached.

The Tent gives the Aspen Institute a venue to hold larger events during the
summer in a wonderful outdoor setting. The main events held in 2005 & 2006 were the
following:
Aspen Ideas Festival
Brainstorm Fortune Conference -
Aspen Institute Summer
Celebration
Lunches, plenary sessions,
opening & closing sessions
lunches, plenary sessions
lunches, celebration dinner
The Aspen Institute feels the Tent was very successful during 2005 & 2006, and
would like to continue its use to the Summer of 2007. Then, the Aspen Institute can
evaluate its overall needs and operations based on the opening of the Doerr -Hosier Center
and in communications with the Pitkin Reserve and Pitkin Green neighbors.
Temporary Use Permit, Code Section 26.450.030
The criteria for Temporary Use Permit under Code Section 26.450.030 is
addressed below.
A. The location, size, design, operating characteristics, and visual impacts of the
proposed use.
The Tent and operations are the same as approved in 2005 & 2006, but with a
shorter period, June 28 — August 28, versus the July 1 — September 28 period
approved by Resolution #22 (Series of 2005). The Summer of 2007 will give the
Aspen Institute the ability to evaluate the Tent and the Institute's overall needs
and operations based on the opening of the Doerr -Hosier Center. This phased
approach has been discussed with interested Pitkin Reserve and Pitkin Green
neighbors.
B. The compatibility of the proposed temporary use with the character, density and
use of structures and uses in the immediate vicinity.
Summer tents have historically and consistently been used on the Aspen Institute
property. Tents offer flexible venues to hold summer events in a wonderful
outdoor setting. The Aspen Institute feels the Greenwald Tent was very successful
in 2005 & 2006, and would like to continue its use to the Summer of 2007. Then,
the Aspen Institute can evaluate its overall needs and operations based on the
GarrowMemoTempUsePermit 2
•
opening of the Doerr -Hosier Center and in communications with the Pitkin
Reserve and Pitkin Green neighbors.
C. The impacts of the proposed temporary use on pedestrian and vehicular traffic
and traffic patterns, municipal services, noise levels, and neighborhood
character.
The Aspen Institute recognizes the Tent and its events have an impact on the
Pitkin Reserve and Pitkin Green neighbors. This is why the Aspen Institute is
proposing to operate the tent for the Summer of 2007, and then evaluate its
overall needs and operations based on the opening of the Doerr -Hosier Center.
This phased approach has been discussed with interested Pitkin Reserve and
Pitkin Green neighbors.
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.
The duration of the proposed temporary use is June 28 — August 28. Set-up and
take -down will occur one week before and after the above dates. This period is
shorter than the July 1 — September 28 duration approved by Resolution #22
(Series of 2005). The Tent was previously approved and up during the Summers
of 2005 & 2006.
E. The purposes and intent of the zone district in which the temporary use is
proposed.
The Aspen Institute parcel is zoned Academic -Specially Planned Area. The
conference, gathering, educational purpose of the Tent is consistent with the
Academic zoning of the parcel.
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.
The Aspen Institute campus was established in the 1950's as a center for the
exchange of ideas and open dialogue. Summer conferences, gatherings, and
events have historically been the focus of the Institute, and summer tents have
historically been used on the campus. The Aspen Institute campus has only
changed modestly over the 50 years, but significant residential development
surrounding the Institute has occurred on Red Mountain, Pitkin Green and Second
Aspen subdivision.

recognizes the Tent and its events have an impact on the Pitkin Reserve and Pitkin

ment for P
CITY OF ASPEN (hereinafter CITY) and yyU
(hereinafter APPLICANT) AGREE AS FOLLOWS:
(hereinafter, THE PROJECT).
2. APPLICANT understands and agrees that City of Aspen Ordinance No. 57 (Series of 2000)
establishes a fee structure for Land Use applications and the payment of all processing fees is a condition precedent
to a determination of application completeness.
3. APPLICANT and CITY agree that because of the size, nature or scope of the proposed project, it
is not possible at this time to ascertain the full extent of the costs involved in processing the application.
APPLICANT and CITY further agree that it is in the interest of the parties that APPLICANT make payment of an
initial deposit and to thereafter permit additional costs to be billed to APPLICANT on a monthly basis.
APPLICANT agrees additional costs may accrue following their hearings and/or approvals. APPLICANT agrees he
will be benefited by retaining greater cash liquidity and will make additional payments upon notification by the
CITY when they are necessary as costs are incurred. CITY agrees it will be benefited through the greater certainty
of recovering its full costs to process APPLICANT'S application.
4. CITY and APPLICANT further agree that it is impracticable for CITY staff to complete
processing or present sufficient information to the Planning Commission and/or City Council to enable the Planning
Commission and/or City Council to make legally required findings for project consideration, unless current billings
are paid in full prior to decision.
5. Therefore, APPLICANT agrees that in consideration of the CITY's waiver of its right to collect
full fees prior to a determination of application completeness, APPLICANT shall pay an initial deposit in the
amount of $ which is for hours of Community Development staff time, and if actual
recorded costs exceed the initial deposit, APPLICANT shall pay additional monthly billings to CITY to reimburse
the CITY for the processing of the application mentioned above, including post approval review at a rate of $220.00
per planner hour over the initial deposit. Such periodic payments shall be made within 30 days of the billing date.
APPLICANT further agrees that failure to pay such accrued costs shall be grounds for suspension of processing, and
in no case will building permits be issued until all costs associated with case processing have been paid.

Re: Aspen Institute Tent
Dear James,
I am writing you on behalf of the Pitkin Reserve Homeowner's Association. The Aspen
Institute installed a large, white tent directly in front of us two years ago. It was visually
obtrusive and totally insensitive to all of the Institute's neighbors to the north. None of us
had been notified of any public hearings prior to its approval, and it was an unwelcome
surprise which interrupted an otherwise beautiful view.
I contacted Amy Margerum at the Institute immediately, and she told me it was only
temporary and would be removed once their new facility was completed. Last week, I
heard rumor that the Institute was filing an application to make this a permanent tent.
We are totally opposed to this. It is visually offensive and incompatible with the
surrounding neighborhood. The Institute is a great amenity to our community but this
tent is unacceptable to us as their contiguous property owners.
Please include me on any notices of any public hearings the Planning Department has
on this and pass on the objections of the Pitkin Reserve Homeowner's Association to
Thank you for your help.
Sincerely,
�tevelansen
