RE: Use Determination - Teen Center Above "Whale of a Wash"
DATE: October 16, 1975
This is a request for a use determination for a Teen Center to be
located above the "Whale of a Wash" on Main Street. The second floor
addition would consist of 1,500 square feet.
The Planning Office feels that due to the congestion problems associated
with this use it is more appropriate to consider this a conditional
use which requires written notification of property owners within
300 feet of the building. We further wish to discuss in detail with
the applicant the specific uses to be conducted on the premises,
management of the facility, etc.
NOTICE TO ADJACENT PROPERTY OWNERS WITHIN 300 FT. OF EXISTING REQUEST

Commission shall hold a meeting on November 18, 1975, 5:00 p.m.

Aspen Planning and Zoning Commission
City of Aspen
Aspen, Colorado 81611
Dear Sirs:
I am the owner of property known as the Epicure Building,
which is immediately West of the proposed Teenage Center under
consideration by your commission.
Firstly, I would like you to know that I am not opposed
to the establishment of a teenage center in the City of Aspen, so
long as it is properly managed and suitably controlled. Unfortunately,
the previous teenage centers created more problems, such as the use
of alcohol and drugs and noise, than benefits. I feel at this time
that the request for a teenage center above the Whale of a Wash
laundry on Main Street should be accompanied with more information
before a decision is reached.
With respect to my property, the second floor of the
Epicure Building is rental property for working people and I am
very concerned that evening activities of a nature provided by a
teenage center could be very disturbing and ultimately create a
considerable nuisance.
Already there is a considerable problem of parking con-
gestion caused by the lack of parking space for the laundry building.
Every day customers of the Whale of a Wash laundry park on my
property and in the parking spaces reserved for the Epicure Building.
For the above reasons it appears that an operation of
a teenage center above the Whale of a Wash laundry could adversely
affect the neighborhood and specifically the operation of my room -
rentals. Unless specific controls and regulations are placed on
the operator and owner of a teenage center, so that disturbances
are not caused and additional parking problems are not created, I
feel that a teenage center at the requested location should not
be approved.
Yours very truly,
ERNST MARTENS
November 4, 1975
Planning and Zoning Commision of City of Aspen:
I hereby protest the public hearing scheduled for today at
5 P.M. Concerning the building of the Teenage Center above
the Whale of A Wash building on Main Street. I was not notified,
as required by law, that this hearing was planned.
Sincerely,
Ernst R. Martens

PROPOSAL TO ASPEN PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD FOR '""PfIE MINOR'S DEN"
I. FACILITIES:
The proposed construction, a second story over the Whale of A Wash, will house
an office for Parry Enterprises, Ltd., and an amusement center to be called
"THE MINOR'S DEN ". There is to be a deck on the North side of "THE MINOR'S
DEN ". (See architect's drawings.)
The amusement center is to contain 2 lounge areas, 1 pool table, a juke box
and dance floor, and coin machines such as foosball, pin ball, and pong. Also
machines to vend soda pop, snacks, pop corn, candy and ice cream. There will
be two large restrooms. All facilities will be new, of top quality, and de-
signer coordinated. The premises will be cleaned nightly by a competent pro-
fessional crew.
III. GROUND RULES:
A paid, qualified, adult supervisor will be on duty whenever the amusement
center is open to the public. Currently I plan to be open weekdays from
3 to 12 pm; holidays noon to 12 pm. No liquor or drugs will be allowed on
the premises. The Aspen High School Student Council requested that smoking
be restricted to the deck area. I agree. The Council also requested per-
mission to hold class dances there. However, I don't think the room will be
large enough for class dances and that the proposed teen center at the Holy
Cross site might better fill this need. The third student Council request
was that admission be restricted to persons under 21. This would be difficult .
to enforce. Also I believe that the presence of a few non - drinking, non-
smoking adults would not present a problem. (And I want to play foosball, too).
In view of the variety of entertainment available for adults in Aspen, I
don't think THE MINOR'S DEN would attract many adults in any case.
III. SUPERVISION:
The duties of the supervisor will include preserving order, protecting the
premises from damage, and providing an understanding ear for those who want
someone to talk to. Following is a list of some of the people who have
volunteered to help in either a supervisory or advisory position: Tim
Comstock, advisor to the Aspen High School Student Council; Pete Murphy,
city juvenile officer; Greg Anderson, Assistant Pastor and youth leader
of the Aspen Community Church and a director of Open Door; Helen Klanderud,
director of Touchstone Mental Health Clinic; Al Cluck, P.E. instructor at
Aspen Elementary School; Ruth Ganz, psychiatric social worker who has
researched extensively Aspen's need for a teen center; and Greg Rulon,
County juvenile officer.
IV. ACTIVITIES:
THE MINOR'S DEN will provide a place for the young people of Aspen to meet
in a clean, attractive setting, with entertainment available via pool
table, dance floor, etc. It will be a comfortable and inviting place
where they can rap with each other and the supervisor. They won't be
thrown out if they aren't putting quarters in the machines. Special events,
such as talent nights and the kind of entertainment previously found at
Anrapoy, will be scheduled regularly.
V. FUTHERMORE:
As a ski instructor, previous ski hostel owner, and the father of 3 teen-
aged children I am well aware of the need for a facility such as THE MINOR'S
DEN. I believe that most youth centers fail because they are BORING. Mine
won't be. I propose to provide this facility at no cost to the tax payers.
I believe it will be commercially successful, and that it night even get some
of the Aspen youth off nay trampoline, motocross track, skateboard slalom, and
out of my workshop.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Aspen Planning Commission
FROM: Planning Staff (HC)
RE: Conditional Use - Teen Center
DATE: October 30, 1975
This is a hearing to consider the conditional use request for a teen center
to be located above the "Whale -of -a- Wash" on Main Street near the inter-
section of Mill and Main. The second floor addition would consist of
approximately 1,500 square feet. At the October 21, 1975, meeting the
Planning Commission determined this to be a conditional use in the
CC district.
The Planning Office has contacted Betty Erickson, the Pitkin County Human
Resource Director to apprise her of the application. She has been involved
with numerous other teen center requests in Aspen and has been working with
high school officials and Stacy Standley to attempt to initiate a teen
center in the Holy Cross Building. Betty will be in attendance Tuesday
to express her comments on the proposal.
The Planning Office favors approval of the conditional use of a teen center
at this location provided the following concerns are properly addressed by
the applicant:
1. A statement is presented outlining the management goals and
operational procedures for the teen center. For example; what
age group will use the facilities.
2. Specific uses for the premises are agreed upon, i.e., game rooms,
lounge areas, meeting areas, etc.
3. Hours of operation agreed upon.
4. Neighborhood concerns are properly addressed.

RE: Stream Margin Request - Parry
DATE: October 16, 1975
This is a request for stream margin review for a expansion of an existing
single family house owned by George Parry and located off Sneaky Lane
on Castle Creek immediately below the City Shop.
A survey of the property and building plans will be available at the
Planning and Zoning Commission meeting Tuesday.
Since this is a second floor expansion to an existing structure, the
Planning Office sees no stream side impact and recommends approval
of the request.
