CITIZEN COMMENTS 1. Emzy Veazy suggested when people address Council they write up their comments so they are prepared and turn it into the city clerk. Veazy said the city vehicles could have governors on them which would save on gasoline. Veazy said Glendale, California, has a program that deals with graffiti and the city should look into it. 2. Bill Wiener brought up preservation of the Tom Benton building and said there is a solution which would make everyone happy and move the development through the process. HPC has allowed demolition of Little Annie's but not the Benton building. Wiener said the Benton roof structure could be preserved and left open underneath for gatherings and views through to the mountain. 3. Joe Edwards disagreed about gutting the Ton Benton building. Edwards stated one of the reasons Aspen is different from other places and without sprawl is much of the strategy and planning went on in the Benton building in the 1970's. The Benton building was built almost 60 years ago and what happened there changed the course of Aspen and the way Aspen looks. Edwards stated there is something wrong with the city's code that would allow a lot line to lot line 3 -story building on this lot. The HPC voted 4 to 3 to allow demolition of Little Annie's. Mayor Ireland asked if the problem with the code is that it does not preserve structures or that it does not preserve uses. Edwards said code changes have to come from elected officials. COUNCILMEMBER COMMENTS 1. Councilman Johnson reminded everyone this Friday, September 30` at 7 PM is homecoming at Aspen High School. 2. Councilman Torre said Aspen lost a true friend when Billy Rieger died. Councilman Torre said the Roaring Fork Valley has a high suicide rate and a letter in the paper urged everyone to reach out and help people. 3. Councilman Torre stated Council received a call up notice on the approved demolition of the Little Annie's building and he will request the case be called up for Council action. Councilman Skadron said he would support the call up 4. Councilman Frisch said he would like to know more about the call up procedures. Jim True, special counsel for the city, explained that the code allows Council to call up HPC or P &Z decision on cases that will not come to Council. Council has 30 days in which to call up an action or the decision stands. 2 Regular Meeting Aspen City Council September 26, 2011 5. Mayor Ireland said attending Billy Rieger's memorial service reminded him how vibrant and energetic he was and how caring of people's children. What makes Aspen a community is that there are people like Billy Rieger. 6. Mayor Ireland said he will also support the call up of HPC demolition approval of the Little Annie's building. 7. Mayor Ireland said there were two great athletic events in Aspen last weekend, the Golden Leaf half - marathon and the Wapiyapi bicycle fund raiser for kids with cancer. 8. Mayor Ireland said he went to Europe and met with Mayors and Council of Aspen's sister cities and of cities, like Abetone and Florence, that want to be sister cities with Aspen. The Sister City program is active all over the world and Aspen's program gives school kids a change at exchange in other cities and to learn more about the world. 9. Mayor Ireland said the November election is an all -mail ballot election and there are some people who will not get ballots because either their address is incorrect or they did not vote in November 2010. Mayor Ireland urged every to go to pitkinvotes.org and check their voter information. 10. Councilman Skadron said the CORE Board discussed Energy Smart, Waste Free Roaring Fork, the biomass project, Thompson divide and the 2012 draft budget. Councilman Skadron reported CORE is in good financial shape. CONSENT CALENDAR Councilman Skadron moved to called up for Council action the HPC decision to allow demolition at Little Annie's; seconded by Councilman Torre. All in favor, with the exception of Councilman Johnson. Motion carried. Councilman Skadron requested Resolution #65, Series of 2011, Isis sublease Free People of PA LLC be pulled from the consent calendar. Councilman Johnson asked if the changes to the OZ contract are not allowing scope creep or getting the cost to what the other bid was. Scott Miller, asset manager, said he is comfortable with the changes; part of the changes is a result of a project that is taking longer than anticipated when the design team was hired. Also the staff has asked for additional information. Councilman Johnson asked if this is still within the budget. Miller said the project is under budget. Resolution #65, Series of 2011 — Isis Sublease with Free People of PA LLC Councilman Skadron asked what criteria were used in selecting the tenants for this space and what goal is being satisfied by filling this space. Scott Miller, asset manager, told Council there is a lot of retail space available for lease in Aspen and the prices are coming down. Councilman Skadron asked if this space is being subsidized by the city in any way. Miller said there is no subsidy by the city at all. Councilman Skadron asked if the city has any control over these 3 Regular Meeting Aspen City Council September 26, 2011 spaces. Miller said the city has the right to approve or not the sublease. Courtney Lord, Isis Retail Group, reminded Council when the Isis building was purchased, the goals was to maintain movie theatres in Aspen and to do that, the theatre needed a below market rent and to accomplish that, the west part of the building was turned into retail spaces. An oversight by the city is to require the commercial landlord to use their best efforts to seek "not luxury" tenants. Councilman Skadron said the rent benefit flows to the theatre space. Councilman Johnson said these are in line with market rents today. Councilman Johnson said Free People of PA is a mid- level retailer. Councilman Johnson moved to approve the consent calendar; seconded by Councilman Torre. The consent calendar is: • Resolution #61, 2011 — Contract to Purchase Hybrid Vehicle — Car Share • Resolution #62, 2011 — ARC Advisory Committee Appointment • Resolution #63, 2011 — Red Brick Boiler Replacement • Resolution #64, 2011 — Contract — Plow /Sand Truck Replacement • Resolution #65, 2011 — Isis 406 E. Hopkins Sublease — Free People of PA LLC • Resolution #66, 2011 - Extending P &Z and HPC Board Members Terms • Resolution #67, 2011 — Burlingame Phase II OZ Contract Amendments • Minutes — September 12, 2011 All in favor, motion carried. RESOLUTION #68, SERIES OF 2011— Height Variance for Fence 1445 Sierra Vista Drew Alexander, community development department, told Council this property is adjacent to the golf course and to errant golf balls. The applicant proposes a 15 foot golf net mesh fence on the southeast corner of the property. This fence will be integrated into existing vegetation. Alexander reminded Council 1495 Sierra Vista previously requested a fence variance. Alexander said he worked with the golf and the parks department on this solution and staff supports the fence with conditions outlined in the resolution. Councilman Frisch asked about the other houses along the stretch and will they require fences. Councilman Frisch asked if there have been any neighbor comments. Alexander said he has received no comments. Alexander said each property should be reviewed separately as there are different circumstances for each. Sarah Broughton, representing the applicant, told Council this property was publicly noticed for this hearing with letters and a notice. Councilman Torre said he is concerned about fencing across all these properties. Ms. Broughton noted this is one of two properties on the golf course that is on a dog leg. Ms. Broughton said she worked with the director of golf who recommended this fence. Ms. Broughton said there have been broken windows from golf balls and this is a safety matter. 4 Regular Meeting Aspen City Council September 26, 2011 Councilman Skadron asked about the visual impact. Ms. Broughton said the house is tucked back and the fence will only be up when the golf course is open. Councilman Skadron asked who will monitor the fence installation and any damage to the flora. Alexander said the parks department will inspect the digging and the mesh itself. Mayor Ireland opened the public hearing. There were no comments. Mayor Ireland closed the public hearing. Councilman Johnson moved to approve Resolution #68, Series of 2011; seconded by Councilman Skadron. All in favor, motion carried. ORDINANCE #27, SERIES OF 2011— Code Amendment Impact Fees Drew Alexander, community development department, said the method for collecting impact fees has been based on bedrooms and the definition of bedrooms lends itself to different interpretations. The amendment calculates the fees on floor area, which is a metric that can be used on every property. State statutes identify bedrooms and reasonable means of calculating impact fees. Alexander entered into the record a letter from the city's consultant on impact fee calculations and an e-mail from the school district supporting this code amendment. Alexander reminded Council the goal is to keep the revenue the same as existing levels and the changes since first reading are to have 3 tiers of fees to take into account the generation rates in existence for different size houses. This will be revenue neutral. Mayor Ireland opened the public hearing. There were no comments. Mayor Ireland closed the public hearing. Councilman Johnson moved to adopt Ordinance #27, Series of 2011, on second reading as amended; seconded by Councilman Torre. Roll call vote; Councilmembers Johnson, yes; Torre, yes; Skadron, yes; Frisch, yes; Mayor Ireland, yes. Motion carried. ORDINANCE #28, SERIES OF 2011— Lift One Lodge Final PUD Councilman Johnson said he lives within 300 feet of the project and is recusing himself. Mayor Ireland announced there are five public hearings scheduled for Lift One lodge, through November. Chris Bendon, community development department, said the purpose of this public hearing is to become familiar with the project. This project was originally submitted in 2006. The project is located on the east side of South Aspen street. This site does not include lift 1A. The proposal is for 22 lodge units, fractional ownership. The units are flexible so that rooms can be locked off, totally 84 keys. There are 5 free market resident units; there is affordable housing for 5 employees, there is a restaurant, apres ski deck. The project includes rehabilitation of the Skiers Chalet lodge as a ski museum to be owned and operated by the Aspen Historical Society. The Skier's Chalet Steakhouse will be used as affordable housing. Bendon reminded Council conceptual approval was granted in 2009; it has gone through HPC and is in front of Council for final PUD. 5 Regular Meeting Aspen City Council September 26, 2011 Bob Daniel, representing the applicant, told Council he is proud of the process and where the project is now. This has taken a long time and the applicants have stayed committed to the process; this has been a community based process. Daniel said when the applicants acquired the property, they felt it was important to submit a project that 100% code compliant and the original application was that. The applicants received HCP and P &Z approval for that project. Daniel said the Lodge at Aspen Mountain was also going through the process and was denied final PUD in 2008. One of the ideas was to master plan the area. Lift One Lodge agreed to set their application aside and went into a COWOP process. Daniel reminded Council the COWOP project was not approved by Council; however, there were learnings from that process and Council asked that these be incorporated into their application. This lead to the conceptual approval in 2009. Daniel said there was a lot of community input in the COWOP and the project was changed to address much of that input. Daniel said after the conceptual approval in 2009, the applicant went through the HPC process in 2010. Daniel showed a map of the area, including the lodging properties at the base of the mountain. An influence on this site is the history associated with the origination of skiing and Lift One. Daniel said this site is close to the commercial core and to Rubey Park and the transit facilities. Other influences on this project were pedestrian, skiing and the neighbors. Daniel noted some goals in the master planning were history, accessibility, vitality and sustainability all of which overlap and need to be balanced between Aspen being a resort and a community. The goals were established with 28 community members. Daniel said the purpose of the COWOP was to come up with a creative solution to this side of the mountain and one of the big ideas was to establish a green visual corridor between Willoughby Park, the old lift terminal and Aspen mountain. Daniel said at that point the idea of a code compliant project had to be abandoned. Daniel told Council HPC thought the skiing corridor was a great amendment to the project . The code complaint project changed into a plan with a surface lift running between the buildings, the relocation of lift lA uphill, and the improvements to Willoughby park, relocation of some structures on the site and historic designation of those structures. Daniel said during conceptual review of this project, the applicants heard concern about the mass and scale of the project, about moving the ski lift 250 feet up the mountain. Daniel said there was an issue about snow melting the street and it is appropriate to use energy in that way. Daniel reminded Council they requested the applicant to look at a final PUD application that was smaller. Daniel reminded Council a third party was hired to insure that this project was not too big. The applicants looked at Council's concerns. Daniel said moving the lift was not looked on as a community benefit so the applicant looked at priorities from COWOP, the important part of the master plan, the opportunity to connect the mountain to town, commitment to restoration of the historic assets, creation of the museum, commitment to 100% affordable housing associated with the project, and a project that creates lodging options at the base of Aspen mountain. Daniel showed a slide and stated the applicants decided not to develop anything above the red line, decided not to move the lift uphill, and decided to relook at mass and scale and to relook at items that were not looked at as community benefits. The result is a project with a 40% reduction in floor area, a 50% reduction in the footprint. Daniel presented a slide showing the footprint approved at conceptual and what is proposed at final. There is no relocation of lift 1A, this maintains the corridor for a surface lift and ski back, 40% of the housing mitigation will be on 6 Regular Meeting Aspen City Council September 26, 2011 site, refurbishing the Skier's Chalet Steakhouse and Lodge, access off south Aspen street and not Gilbert street. Daniel reviewed the existing conditions in the area noting a lack of funding for the museum, the lift One is in disrepair, the site is dominated by parking and orphan buildings, and Willoughby park is used for parking rather than park use. Daniel said the goals from the COWOP for this master plan were to honor ski heritage and reinforce skiing in the future. Daniel said the most beloved community assets are those that the public accesses, like the Wheeler and the Jerome. Daniel said this area is not very accessible to the public and is in a state of neglect. Daniel stated one of the key components of this plan is Willoughby park and the involvement with the Aspen Historical Society. Georgia Hanson, Aspen Historical Society, told Council the historical society is involved by their mission, which is to enrich the community by preserving and communicating Aspen's history. Ms. Hanson told Council the historical society located downtown for 3 months and had visitors and group session to talk about what the Lift One center should be. Some suggestions were interactive interpretations in the park; a history theatre for performances, a gathering place and clubhouse and a vault to store Aspen's treasures. The historical museum should also connect the community with the mountain, reuse and enliven historic assets and build a social capital investment for future generations. Daniel scored the goals of the PUD from conceptual to final on the history and stabilization of Lift One, relocation and renovation of Skiers Chalet, the museum on site and renovation of the Skiers chalet and Steak House and these are met in the final PUD proposal. Daniel discussed accessibility and the existing conditions of the dangerous road, lack of pedestrian access, difficult to access the mountain and no dedicated ski corridor. Daniel said the proposed changes, which include a dedicated ski access, pedestrian access, funding for a surface lift and the Deane street master plan will lead to increased safety and more mobility. All the goals on accessibility except funding snowmelt on South Aspen street will be met with the proposed final PUD. Another goal was vitality and the fact that there is no gathering place; it is disconnected from the commercial core; lodge beds have been lost in the area. Daniel said this proposed plan will increase activities and use of the area for both residents and visitors; the lodge will provide more hot beds. Daniel noted there will be free public lockers, a restaurant, a museum, world cup venue, parking and onsite affordable housing. Daniel said the fractional units will be available for public rent when not in use. The design of the units with lock off rooms allows for maximum flexibility and adds back in pillows that were lost in the area. Daniel said in the goals for vitality are to provide space for the historical museum, high occupancy beds, a public restaurant, making improvements to the parks and adding public accommodations. The final PUD does not include the beer, boots and brats; one reason is the applicants felt one restaurant in this area is sufficient. Daniel told Council the Skiers Chalet Steak house and lodge is not viable in their current configurations. There were only 38 keys in the area, including the Holland House. The PUD plan will create a mix of lodge rooms and onsite affordable housing in an economically viable project. The project is within walking distance to the core and the transit center. The applicants will reuse existing structures on site. Daniel said in the sustainability area, the building will be 7 Regular Meeting Aspen City Council September 26, 2011 built to the LEED gold building design and green roofs will absorb stormwater and help cool the buildings. Daniel presented a chart to compare the project at conceptual and final. Conceptual had 27 units and 107 keys; final proposes 22 units with 84 keys. The number of free market units is 5 in both proposals; however the total square footage is decreased from 20,395 square feet to 13,013 square feet. Both conceptual and final propose to mitigate for 100% of affordable both with a minimum of 40% on site. The conceptual plan proposes to house 26.5 employees on site and final proposes to house 16 employees on site. The proposed commercial at conceptual was Ski Company ticketing and a restaurant; final proposes a restaurant and does not propose the beer/boots/brats. The plans for the museum reusing the Skiers Chalet Lodge are the same at final as conceptual. The total floor area at conceptual was 123,693 square feet and final is proposed at 84,514 square feet; the lodge portion decreasing from 116,779 square feet to 77,010 square feet. The average room size has decreased from 612 square feet to 537 square feet. Parking proposed at conceptual was 200 for the lodge and 50 public spaces and final proposes 150 spaces for the lodge and 50 public parking spaces. The snowmelt has been reduced to only on sidewalks. The Ski lift proposal at conceptual was a new lift lA and a surface lift and the proposal for final PUD is funding for a surface lift only. Daniel told Council the applicants met with neighbors adjacent to the proposed project to see what the issues are and what could be done to alleviate some concerns. The neighbors to the north, Dancing Bear, South Point and Lift One, had issues with drainage, with ski access, with Willoughby Park and with volleyball. The applicants propose to fix the drainage and make improvements to the surface of Deane street; to clean up Willoughby park and to improve the ski access. Daniel said the applicants are committed to funding a replacement location for the volleyball courts. The neighbors to the east, Dolinseks, Aztec, Telemark, Aspen Mountain, Cascade, Silver Shadow and Caribou condominiums have issues with ski access, an encroachment on Gilbert street, the height of the building and physical separation. Daniel told Council the ski access will be retained; the applicants eliminated an exit onto Gilbert street. The physical separation between buildings has been maintained. The applicants are reviewing the heights. The issues of the neighbors to the south, Mountain Queen, Aspen Skiing Company and Shadow Mountain, are ski access, access to the mountain, lack of a gathering place, and Shadow mountain access and parking. Daniel said there is a reduction in the size of the proposed lodge; there are pedestrian improvements and there will be a public restaurant and apres ski area. Daniel said Lift lA will not be changed and moved up Aspen Mountain. The applicants are working to improve the historic parking in the right -of -way on Shadow Mountain. The neighbor issues to the west — the townhouse project, are to coordinate improvements on rights -of -way issues, utilities, streets, sidewalks and curbs. Daniel outlined what is being asked for in the project; setbacks adjacent to public lands that are less than minimum required; the height exceeds the maximum in some place; the average unit size is larger than allowed; vacation of public streets and alleys; and allowing a reconfigured site area for the FAR calculation. Daniel listed all this project is providing for the community; rejuvenation of a neglected part of town, addition of lodging facilities, easement and a ski back corridor for possible lift service 8 Regular Meeting Aspen City Council September 26, 2011 from Willoughby Park, reconstruction of Deane street, renovation of the Skiers Chalet Lodge for use as the historic museum, historic designation of the Skiers chalet and Lodge, safety improvements on South Aspen, expansion of Willoughby park, 50 underground parking spaces, 100% employee housing mitigation — the code only requires 30 %, stabilization and protection of historic assets of Lift One and the towers, $600,000 funding for the surface lift, improvements around the Winternational race venue, $150,000 for volleyball replacement, exceeding environmental standards for the new development, free public ski lockers, improved emergency access, better storm water management and drainage from Aspen mountain. Daniel said the applicants feel they have realized the goals established through the public process and meetings on master plan of this area. Mayor Ireland opened the public hearing. Marcia Goshorn stated she supports this project; this area of town is appropriate for lodging. Ms. Goshorn noted lift One used to come further down the hill and was more accessible. Ms. Goshorn said she likes the improvements that have been made to the project. Richard Allen said he feels it is time for Aspen to step up and to create a place to showcase the history of Aspen. Ruth Kruger said she was a member of the COWOP for master planning the area. Ms. Kruger said this is the place to build lodging at the base of the mountain. The applicant has honed the project in order to have it be acceptable. Val Edgington said she skis 1A side of the mountain a lot and this plan makes that side of the mountain more accessible. Ms. Edgington said the historical society has become more vibrant in the past several years and has created more community involvement. Jane Battaglia told Council this site is important because she has worked for the historical society and a question that arises a lot is about a ski museum and the place for that is downtown where the history was created. Bill Tomsich, Stay Aspen Snowmass, told Council he is a proponent of more sellable beds in Aspen. A lot has changed since 2008 and this project has been adaptable to that change. Tomsich said he is a supporter of having a museum in a more visible location. Kip Hubbard, historic society staff, said every block away from the core for a museum, visitors are lost exponentially. Hubbard said the historic society will increase their reach to visitors and to locals by having this site. Jackie Kasabach said when she was on City Council in 2009, she voted yes on this project. Ms. Kasabach urged council to vote yes on this version. Ms. Kasabach concurred with the need to bring the history of this community to the core of this community. Eban Clark, representing Silver Shadow condominiums, told Council his clients are directly east of this building and have objections to aspects of the proposal. Clark said progress has been made working with the developer and he will continue to work on those objections. Bob Hoover, representing the Mountain Queen, told Council they are pleased with the reduction in size of the development as it no longer crosses their property line and the view plane issues have been taken away. Hoover said there are some questions about future development which may be taken care of through this process. Martha Madsen said this is a great opportunity and the ski museum is a great opportunity that should not be missed. Andy Hanson said he walks Aspen street during world cup and it is dangerous. To make world cup better this project seems like a win/win for everyone. Maddy Lieb agreed with the proponents for this project. Tony Vagneur, president of Aspen Historic 9 Regular Meeting Aspen City Council September 26, 2011 Society, said this proposed interactive place will help everyone learn the history of skiing and of Aspen. Mayor Ireland closed the public hearing. Councilman Skadron asked why the Steak House is 20% larger than conceptual. Daniel said this is an anomaly in the way floor area is calculated; the building is not larger. Councilman Skadron said he has a question about the west wing and those variances and about the lodge unit density standard, and the bonus for size of lodge units. Councilman Skadron said he would like more discussion how the 22 keys become 84 rooms and the day -to -day management of the rooms when they are turned over to a rental company. Daniel told Council P &Z spent time on this issue. The applicants have to provide a detail of the day -to -day management as well as an occupancy report to the community development department; pricing is not addressed in that requirement. Councilman Skadron said restoring the ski museum speaks to community priorities and values. Councilman Frisch said the condition of the neighborhood is not helping the community or guests and it is important to have bed space in the area. Councilman Frisch said improving this area could affect Ruthie's and other lodges on this side of town. Councilman Frisch said he would like to see this area revitalized which may boost moderate lodging in this area. Councilman Torre said he would like to understand vacating city rights -of -way and the ongoing issues with Shadow Mountain condominiums. Mayor Ireland suggested the applicants consider snow melting the last 100 feet of Aspen street rather than the whole length of the street. Mayor Ireland noted sanding streets is not necessarily good for the PM 10 levels. Mayor Ireland said the loss of bed base seems to be in the moderate level rooms. Mayor Ireland asked what assurance there is if in the future there is a desire to install a platter lift there weren't be opposition from owners on the property. Councilman Torre moved to continue Ordinance #28, Series of 2011, to October 11` seconded by Councilman Skadron. All in favor, motion carried. ORDINANCE #29, SERIES OF 2011 Electric Rate Increase. Councilman Johnson moved to adopt Ordinance #29, Series of 2011, on second reading; seconded by Councilman Skadron. Lee Ledesma, utility department, reminded Council the city has been working on a utility study for the past several years. Mayor Ireland asked if there have been changes since the first reading. Dave Hornbacher, utility department, noted the rates go out over a four year period for the transition of 30 kW for larger commercial users. Councilman Skadron asked if staff has had questions from the public. Hornbacher said he has not. Mayor Ireland opened the public hearing. There were no comments. Mayor Ireland closed the public hearing. 10 Regular Meeting Aspen City Council September 26, 2011 Councilman Skadron said the work on this rate adjustment, including two work sessions, has been thorough. Councilman Frisch asked when the city will get to full cost recovery. Ms. Ledesma said the two classes that reach full cost of service within 4 years are the large commercial and city facilities. The small commercial and the residential take 6 or more years to reach 100 %. Councilman Johnson asked if city has gone out to small commercial establishments to review the increase in utilities costs to help them forecast. Roll call vote; Councilmembers Frisch, yes; Johnson, yes; Skadron, yes; Torre, yes; Mayor Ireland, yes. Motion carried. Councilman Johnson moved to allocate $1500 to the Aspen Rugby Club; seconded by Councilman Torre. All in favor, motion carried. Council agreed to reimburse Mayor Ireland $195.11 for Bike to Africa. Councilman Torre moved to go into executive session at 8:50 PM pursuant to C.R.S. 24-6 - 402(4)(b) Conferences with an attorney for the local public body for the purposes of receiving legal advice on specific legal questions on four on -going litigations; seconded by Councilman Skadron.
