The 2004 application requested 46 "overflow parking spaces” on two tennis courts to handle 5 -7 events a year. The City Council did not grant this request as part of the development approval, preferring a `wait and see' approach. DISCUSSION: The current Temporary Use application request to "experiment with overflow parking" in 2010 and 2011, including summer season events, as well as specific events such as weekly Rotary meetings and Christmas parties — not to exceed 180 days per year, as limited by the Land Use Code. The application states that after 2011, the Institute would "evaluate the experiment and decide how to proceed on a longer term basis." 2 Staff agreed that a Temporary Use process was appropriate because it would allow a period of time to experiment with changes to the Institute's transportation strategies, followed by an evaluation and an informed decision for the long -term. However, staff expressed concern that the application did not include some kind of formal study that could be used to properly evaluate the proposed overflow parking. Staff suggested a study should include data gathering of existing conditions (without any changes to current operations), as well as data gathering following the implementation of the tennis court parking. Staff suggested that a formal study would provide reliable information so that a long -term strategy could be adopted through an amendment to the SPA. At a May 14 meeting with Aspen Institute representative Jim Curtis and Institute President Amy Margerum, City staff said the Institute has done an excellent overall job in implementing a variety of Transportation Demand Management (TDM) measures over the years, but remained concerned that the proposed overflow tennis court parking would make it easier for people to drive to events. Making parking more convenient appears to be in conflict with the city's public policy goal of limiting vehicle trips and encouraging alternative modes of transportation. On this subject, the Institute's April 19 Supplemental Memorandum (see Exhibit B) had stated: " ... overflow parking is a convenience for the event user and is not an incentive to increase automobile traffic to the events ... overflow parking is simply trying to better manage the traffic which is already occurring." Staff also cited two policies contained in the 1991 Aspen Meadows Master Plan, which continues to serve as the governing document for this Specially Planned Area: • Policy: Limit, to the maximum degree feasible, the use of the automobile on the campus. Provide parking, as needed, either underground or at the periphery of the campus. • Policy: Require improved transit service to be provided for all significant functions on the campus and create improved opportunities for non -auto access. At the May 14 meeting, staff requested that the Institute come back with ideas to limit vehicle trips and encourage the use of alternative transportation in other ways — to offset the impact of additional parking. On May 18, the Institute submitted a memo with the following new proposals: • Eliminate 23 parking spaces along Meadows Road in order to offset overall vehicle trips. • Restrict the tennis courts to HOV parking, requiring at least two occupants, to be verified by an attendant posted at Meadows Road and 8 Street. • A shuttle reservation option for any large group attending an event, including Rotary. At a follow -up meeting with Institute representative Jim Curtis on May 21, staff expressed interest in the new proposals. The City Engineer agreed that the parking spaces should be eliminated, but based her agreement more on issues of fire truck access on the 3 .r 23 -foot wide Meadows Road. However, staff remained concerned that without a formalized traffic study, the effectiveness of the proposals would be impossible to measure. It was the consensus of staff, including representatives from Community Development, Engineering, Transportation and Environmental Health, that the Institute should engage a professional traffic planner. A formalized study would gather data points on existing conditions, prior to any changes, as well as gathering data once the new proposals are in place. City staff would have to evaluate and approve the study before it is launched, including an exact determination of the number of parking spaces to be eliminated in cooperation with the Parking Department. Ultimately, city staff would be in a position to evaluate the outcome of the study, and be able to make well - informed judgments on a permanent amendment to the Aspen Meadows SPA. There are three options for City Council: 1) Approve the application without requiring a traffic study. This option is reflected in Resolution No. 41. 2) Approve the application, including a required traffic study. This option is reflected in Resolution No. 41A. 3) Deny the application. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that Council approve the application, including a condition requiring a professional traffic study. The outcome of this study would allow staff to properly evaluate whether the Institute's proposal meets public policy goals of limiting vehicle traffic, and encouraging alternative methods of travel. This study would also form the basis for a future decision on whether to make the tennis court parking permanent, via a Specially Planned Area (SPA) Amendment to the Aspen Meadows Master Plan.

APPLICATION SUMMARY This proposal is for an OVERFLOW PARKING EXPERIMENT: 1. To test the proposal to see how well it works, 2. To be a straight forward, relatively low -cost parking experiment, 3. To test the impacts and benefits both to the Aspen Institute and the neighborhood. This application is to covert 2 of 6 tennis courts to overtlow parking as shown on the attached plans. The 2 tennis courts are the southern most courts above the parking garage and would add approximately 46 parking spaces for overflow parking. The 4 remaining tennis courts would remain "as is" and the Aspen Institute feels the 4 courts are sufficient to meet their tennis demands. The existing cyclone fencing and green tennis netting enclosing the 2 tennis courts would remain "as is" to screen the overflow parking. Converting the 2 tennis courts to parking is easily accomplished by adding stripping and mobile barriers /curb stops, and a small ramp into the parking. Structural engineers have confirmed the parking garage can handle the proposal. The request is to experiment with overflow parking for the summer season and specific events, like weekly Rotary meetings or large Christmas parties, but not to exceed 180 days in the calendar year. The Aspen Institute would like to start the experiment this Summer, 2010, by around mid -June, and continue with the experiment next year, 2011. Then it can evaluate the experiment and decide how to proceed on a longer term basis. The Aspen Institute will also experiment with the operations of the overflow parking. The parking will be signed, but for larger events, the Aspen Institute will likely place an attendant at Meadows Road to direct guests to the parking, and/or the Aspen Institute could also use valet parking for the overflow parking for the largest events. Realistically, it will be a mix of various options based on the specifics of the event. With the success of the Doerr- Hosier Center, which opened in June, 2007, and other Aspen Institute activities it is felt the overflow parking is necessary. Overflow parking currently occurs along Meadows Road, a public road, and the Aspen Institute feels adding additional parking will not only benefit its operations, but also the neighborhood. During the City's review of the Doerr- Hosier Center in 2004 and 2005, the Aspen Institute requested that two tennis courts be converted to overflow parking at that time. The City directed the Aspen Institute not to convert the two tennis courts to overflow parking and to evaluate the situation once the Doerr- Hosier Center was opened and operating. The Doerr- Hosier Center opened in June, 2007, and has proven to be very successful for meetings, seminars, conferences and events, and the Aspen Institute is also hosting more "locally" oriented events in the Reception Center. Temp& SeasPerm itAppTennisCts03290 1 As expected, the overflow parking problem is mainly "locals" who drive to the events and overflow park in the neighborhood. The overflow parking problem is not guests or groups lodging at the Aspen Meadows. Surveys have shown most guests arrive by plane and are shuttled to the Aspen Meadows, or when guests drive, they park in the parking garage. The Aspen Institute /Aspen Meadows handles parking in several ways as follows: 1. The Aspen Meadows parking garage contains 97 spaces and is adequate for most day to day operations. Expanding the parking garage to accommodate overflow parking, estimated for only 20 — 30 times a summer and for limited non - summer events, would be very expensive. On a very preliminary basis, the Aspen Institute estimates $30,000 - $40,000 /per car to expand the parking garage or $1,380,000 - $1,840,000 total to accommodate the 46 spaces which could be provided by converting the two tennis courts. 2. In the past, the Aspen Meadows has experimented with valet parking by parking cars off -site in the MAA big lot (257+ spaces). This is workable, but has several problems, i.e. the MAA big lot is not always available due to MAA events, the cost of hiring a valet service, the turnaround time and distance to shuttle cars back and forth from Doerr- Hosier to the MAA big lot, and the "line -up and wait- time" for guests to get their cars on leaving an event. The Aspen Meadows has never experimented with valet parking using the Paepcke parking lot (96± spaces) because it would have even greater turnaround time and distance problems than using the MAA big lot. 3. The Aspen Meadows also follows the "Traffic Mitigation Plan" approved as part of the 1991 Specially Planned Area Plan (SPA Plan) for the Meadows Campus recorded in Book 667 at Page 731. The 1991 Traffic Mitigation Plan for the Aspen Meadows facilities deals almost exclusively with mitigating the impacts of guests and groups using the lodging facilities of the Aspen Meadows. The 1991 Plan does not address the "locals" problem of locals driving to events. Temp &SeasPermitAppTennisCts03290 2 rte. II. TEMPORARY & SEASONAL USE PERMIT, CODE SECTION 26.450.030 Code Section 26.450.030 is addressed below. A. The location, size, design, operating characteristics and visual impacts of the proposed use. As described herein. Applicant feels this is a straight forward, relatively low -cost experiment to test the effectiveness, operations and impacts of providing overflow parking for the Aspen Institute and the neighborhood. B. The compatibility of the proposed temporary use with the character, density and use of structures and uses in the immediate vicinity. Applicant feels the proposed temporary use is compatible with the immediate vicinity and is an experiment to test the impacts and benefits both to the Aspen Institute and the neighborhood. C. The impacts of the proposed temporary use on pedestrian and vehicular traffic and traffic patterns, municipal services, noise levels, and neighborhood character. Applicant feels the proposed temporary use is an experiment to test the impacts and benefits both to the Aspen Institute and the neighborhood. 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. As described herein, the duration of the proposed temporary use is not to exceed 180 days either in 2010 or 2011. No temporary use has previously been approved for overflow parking. E. The purposes and intent of the zone district in which the temporary use is proposed. The zone district is set by the 1991 SPA Plan and all uses are site specifically approved by the 1991 SPA Plan and amendments thereto. Temp &SeasPermitAppTennisCts03290 3 r 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. As described herein, with the success of the Doerr- Hosier Center and other Aspen Institute activities, the need for limited overflow parking has grown. As noted, the Aspen Institute proposed adding overflow parking during the City's review of the Doerr- Hosier Center, but the City directed the Aspen Institute to take a "wait and see" approach. G. How the proposed Temporary Use will enhance or diminish the general public health, safety or welfare. Applicant feels the Temporary Use will enhance the general public, health, safety or welfare by creating additional parking to handle overflow events.. At a minimum, applicant feels the experiment should be tested to evaluate its effectiveness and impacts.

RECEIVED APR 19 2010 SUPPLEMENTAL MEMORANDUM CITY OF ASS To: Ben Gagnon, Aspen Community Development Department From: Jim Curtis, Owner Representative The Aspen Institute Date: April 19, 2010 Re: Parking & Traffic Management Memo Overflow Parking Temporary Use Permit Application The Aspen Institute Comm. Deve. Case # 0009.2010.ASLU OVERVIEW & SUMMARY 1. Due to the success of the Doerr- Hosier Center, which opened in June, 2007, The Aspen Institute feels it needs to provide overflow parking for the larger events. As part of the Doerr- Hosier Center SPA Application in 2004, The Aspen Institute proposed overflow parking, at that time, but the City directed The Aspen Institute to take a "wait & see approach" after the opening and operation of the Doerr- Hosier Center. The Aspen Institute has had 2'h years to evaluate the situation in addition to its on -going mitigation measures described herein & illustrated in the Exhibits. 2. Based on the need for overflow parking, The Aspen Institute proposes to experiment with converting 2 of 6 tennis courts to overflow parking which would add approximately 46 spaces for overflow parking. This is the same overflow parking proposal requested in 2004 as part of the Doerr- Hosier Center SPA Application. The existing cyclone fencing and green tennis net screening the 2 tennis courts would remain "as is" to screen the overflow parking. 3. The overflow parking experiment is requested for the 2010 & 2011 Summer Seasons (mid -June to mid - September) and other non - summer larger events (ex. weekly Rotary, Aspen Environmental Forum, Christmas parties, etc.) Park &TrafficMgntSuppMemo04 120 1 of 3 4. Overflow parking presently occurs along Meadows Road, which is a public road. The Aspen Institute feels parking should continue along Meadows Road. 5. The overflow parking is predominately needed for the "locals & valley residents" attending the larger events at the Doerr- Hosier Center. The Aspen Meadows parking garage contains 97 spaces and is adequate for most day to day operations and for the guests and groups staying at the 98 lodge rooms of The Aspen Meadows. 6. The larger events at the Doerr- Hosier Center typically range from 150 -300 people with 3 -5 events being 300+ people. Typical larger events are Aspen Ideas Festival, Aspen Environmental Forum, Food & Wine Hospitality Night, AREDAY Forum, Rocky Mtn. Institute Forums, etc. Other events would be weekly Rotary, Challenge Aspen Benefit, Duck Unlimited Benefit, etc. The number, type & size of larger events vary from season to season. 7. The Aspen Institute has experimented with valet parking by parking cars off -site in the MAA big lot (257± spaces). This is workable, but has several problems, i.e. the MAA big lot is not always available, the turnaround time and distance to shuttle cars back and forth is longer than desired, the `line- up and wait - time" for guests to get their car on leaving an event is longer than desired, and the cost of the valet service. 8. The Aspen Institute feels providing overflow parking is a convenience for the event user and is not an incentive to increase automobile traffic to the events. The traffic to the events is governed by the size of the event and the capacity of the Doerr - Hosier Center to handle the event. Providing overflow parking is simply trying to better manage the traffic which is already occurring. 9. In summary, The Aspen Institute proposes to experiment with providing overflow parking on the tennis courts for 2 years, evaluate the impacts and benefits of the overflow parking, and then decide how to proceed thereafter with review by the City. Park &TrafficMgntSuppMemo04120 2 of 3 y Fqy II. PARKING AND TRAFFIC MITIGATION MEASURES 1. The Aspen Institute shall designate Staff Personnel to coordinate traffic mitigation communications and plans with the MAA & City. The 3 parties will prepare a Master Calendar of Events for the Summer Season and will prepare mitigation plans for the major events. This coordination meeting is scheduled for April 28 for this season. This coordination will continue annually and a post- season meeting will occur each fall to review the previous season and discuss potential improvements. 2. The Aspen Institute in coordination with the MAA & City will strive to schedule to minimize overlapping events and especially overlapping larger events. 3. The Aspen Institute will continue its on -going mitigation measures for larger events as illustrated in the Exhibits attached. Mitigation measures include information packages describing alternative transit to events, information on free shuttle services to events, providing shuttle services in addition to RFTA services, coordinating shuttle services with other lodges, experimenting with fun rickshaw services, etc. The Aspen Institute examples from the 2009 Summer Season are given in the Exhibits. 4. The Aspen Institute will experiment with the operations of the overflow parking. The overflow parking will be signed, and for larger events The Aspen Institute will place attendants at Meadows Road and the tennis courts to direct the parking operations and/or use valet parking. The operations of the overflow parking will vary based on the type & size of the event. 5. The Aspen Institute will continue to direct employees to take alternative transportation to get to work during the larger events as illustrated in the Memo to Staff in the Exhibits.

AIPESTIVAL.ORG XhIb ►fC PARKING & TRAFFIC MITIGATION MEASURES TO: Ben Gagon, Aspen Community Development Department FROM: Jim Curtis, Owner Representative The Aspen Institute DATE: May 18, 2010 RE: Parking & Traffic Mitigation Measures Overflow Parking Temporary Use Permit Application, Dated March 30 The Aspen Institute I. OVERVIEW On March 30 The Aspen Institute submitted an application for overflow parking using 2 tennis courts for overflow parking on an as needed basis. This would add 46 parking spaces for overflow events. The objective of the overflow parking is: 1. To provide closer and move convenient parking for people attending larger events, primarily at the Doerr- Hosier Center, when overflow parking is needed. 2. To better consolidate and manage the overflow parking for larger events on The Aspen Institute property and reduce the parking impacts on the surrounding neighborhood. 3. To concurrently experiment with traffic mitigation measures to balance overflow parking needs and traffic management in the surrounding neighborhood. II. TRAFFIC MITIGATION MEASURES At a May 14 meeting with City Staff, it was requested The Aspen Institute outline traffic mitigation measures the Institute would experiment with as part of the overflow parking proposal. These measures are outlined below and are in addition to the extensive mitigation measures The Aspen Institute already undertake: 1. The Aspen Institute recommends the City eliminate on- street parking on the east side of the lower portion of Meadows Road from the speed bump at the Meadows Tennis Center to the Meadows entrance sign (see attached drawing). Approximately 10 cars would be eliminated from Meadows Road parking. On- street parking on the west side would continue as is. 2. The Aspen Institute recommends continuing the existing "2 Hour Parking" on both sides of Meadows Road from the Meadows entrance sign to the stop sign at the intersection of Meadows Road & 8 Street. Approximately 19 cars per side or 38 cars total would continue with the existing "2 Hour Parking." 1 3. The Aspen Institute recommends "No Parking (Except D Permits)" along the northeast side of Meadows Road from the intersection of Meadows Road at 8 Street to the intersection at 7 Street. Approximately 13 cars of on- street parking would be eliminated from Meadows Road parking. On- street parking on the southwest side would continue as is. 4. The proposed 46 overflow parking spaces on the tennis courts would be restricted to HOV parking of 2 or more occupants per car to encourage car pooling. The 2 or more occupancy standard is consistent with the HOV standard used elsewhere in the City and Highway 82. An Aspen Meadows guest service employee would be posted at the intersection of Meadows Road and 8 Street to control the HOV parking. 5. The Aspen Institute — Aspen Meadows will expand its existing shuttle bus service as follows: a. Establish an on- demand shuttle reservation option for Rotary. b. Establish an- demand shuttle reservation option for any large group attending an event. The above measures are in addition to the extensive mitigation measures The Aspen Institute —Aspen Meadows already undertake as follows: 1. An extensive shuttle bus service 2. "Transit" promotional & informational materials for its larger events 3. Employee bus passes and restrictive employee parking policy 4. Free bicycle fleet for guests 5. Bicycle racks located throughout the campus. SUMMARY 1. The Aspen Institute is proposing adding 46 spaces of overflow parking at the tennis courts while recommending eliminating approximately 23 spaces of on- street parking on Meadows Road. 2. The 46 spaces of overflow parking at the tennis courts will be restricted to HOV 2 or more occupants per car resulting in potentially a 23 cars or less parking reduction. 3. Additional shuttle service will be provided. The Aspen Institute feels the benefit of the overflow parking is consolidating parking on its own property while trying to reduce the parking and traffic impacts on the surrounding neighborhood. The Aspen Institute feels the net impact will be better or even with the current status. 2 \. 1 Exhibit D Staff Findings for Temporary Use Sec. 26.450.030. Criteria applicable to all temporary uses. When considering a development application for a temporary use or an insubstantial temporary use, the Community Development Director or 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: Staff finds there are no significant visual impacts, as the tennis court fencing shields the proposed overflow parking from view. However, the location and operating characteristics of the proposed overflow parking appears in conflict with the 1991 Aspen Meadows Master Plan, which includes a policy as follows: "Limit, to the maximum degree feasible, the use of the automobile on the campus. Provide parking, as needed, either underground or at the periphery of the campus." B. The compatibility of the proposed temporary use with the character, density and use of structures and uses in the immediate vicinity. Staff Finding: Staff finds the proposed temporary use is generally compatible with the character density and use of structures in the vicinity. However, it appears in conflict with the 1991 Aspen Meadows Master Plan, which includes a policy to provide parking "either underground or at the periphery of the campus." C. The impacts of the proposed temporary use on pedestrian and vehicular traffic and traffic patterns, municipal services, noise levels and neighborhood character. Staff Finding: Staff does not have the data necessary to draw a conclusion regarding this criteria. In order to determine how the proposed overflow parking would affect "pedestrian and vehicular travel and traffic patterns," staff recommends that Council adopt a condition of the temporary use permit, requiring that the Aspen Institute hire a professional traffic engineering firm in order to propose a formal traffic study. This study would include baseline data gathering for a range of events at the Institute without the use of the tennis courts for overflow parking, as well as subsequent data gathering with HOV parking for 46 spaces at the tennis courts, the elimination of 23 parking spaces on Meadows Road and expanded shuttle service. The outcome of this study would allow staff to properly evaluate whether the Institute's proposal meets public policy goals of limiting vehicle traffic, and encouraging alternative methods of travel. 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. . -de d ;J Staff Finding: Staff finds that the duration of the temporary use, including the 2010 and 2011 summer seasons, is appropriate only if the conditions suggested by staff is adopted by Council (please see staff finding for criteria C, above). E. The purposes and intent of the zone district in which the temporary use is proposed. Staff Finding: Aspen Meadows is governed by the 1991 Aspen Meadows Master Plan, in the form of a Specially Planned Area (SPA). The 1991 Aspen Meadows Master Plan includes two policies that are relevant to this application: • Policy: Limit, to the maximum degree feasible, the use of the automobile on the campus. Provide parking, as needed, either underground or at the periphery of the campus. • Policy: Require improved transit service to be provided for all significant functions on the campus and create improved opportunities for non -auto access. While staff wants to be clear that The Aspen Institute has done an excellent job over the years of implementing a variety of Transportation Demand Management (TDM) strategies, the proposal for overflow parking appears in conflict with the policy to limit parking to "the periphery of the campus." For this reason, staff is requesting a formal traffic study that can help provide information on whether this proposal will ultimately meet the city's public policy goals of limiting vehicle trips and encouraging alternative modes of transportation. There has been no previous temporary use application for the tennis courts. 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: The applicant's request for a temporary use relates to the increased use of the Aspen Meadows campus after the construction of the Doerr - Hosier Center. Due to this changed condition, staff believes it is reasonable to require a traffic study that will evaluate substantial changes to the Aspen Meadows transportation strategies. G. How the proposed temporary use will enhance or diminish the general public health, safety or welfare. Staff Finding: Staff finds that including a condition requiring a traffic study will help the city meet its public policy goals of limiting vehicle trips and encouraging alternative modes of transportation. #340937 01/24/92 16:13 $400.00 BK 667 P6 791 Silvia Davis.

This plan, completed in January 1990, was formulated within the framework of four goals. Two of the goals, which are directly related to the traffic and transportation aspects of the plan, were stated as follows: Goal 3: Mitigate, to the maximum extent feasible, the effects of the devel- opment on neighboring properties. Goal 4: Mitigate, to the maximum extent feasible, the project's impacts on the overall community. From a transportation standpoint, the Master Plan included a number of physical elements in the site plan which were directed at achieving these goals. These included creating a new primary access point to the West Meadows via Seventh Street, constructing a new trail system linking both the East Meadows and the West Meadows to the City's trail system. and improving the MAA parking Tots to better serve automobiles and transit interface. However, the Master Plan went even further and identified a number of mitigation measures, many of which are operational in nature, which should be explored. These included such measures as controls on delivery vehicles; plans for smaller, non - diesel transit vehicles; shuttle service to /from the Meadows; parking controls; and emphasis on pedestrian and bicycle access. To respond to this concern, in October 1990 the Consortium formed a committee to further evaluate mitigation measures and to develop a traffic mitigation plan for the Aspen Meadows project. This committee was comprised of representatives of the owners and users of the property, West End residents, the manager of the Roaring Fork Transit Agency (RFTA), representatives of the Aspen /Pitkin County Planning Office, a member of the Aspen Planning and Zoning Commission, and a professional transportation consul- tant. The committee held seven meetings between October 30, 1990 and February 5, 1991 to discuss mitigation measures and to prepare this plan. In addition to committee mem- bers, other residents and City employees participated in these meetings. Early in the process, the committee formulated the following goal statement which directed the committee's efforts: "To develop mitigation measures for the Aspen Meadows facilities to reduce automobile use and it's impact on the West End neighborhood and the community at large, and to make the Meadows facilities more accessible to residents and guests in environmentally sound ways," The resulting plan has been developed in two components. Because the characteristics associated with the lodge, restaurant, and health club facilities on the western portion of the property differ significantly from those of the MAA facilities on the eastern portion, the mitigation measures appropriate to each portion also differ. Therefore, the following sections provide a series of mitigation measures for each of the areas of the property. With each measure are provided a brief description of the action, the suggested phasing for implementation of the measure, and identification of the responsible party. 1 #340937 01/24/92 16:1., Rec $400.00 BK 667 PG 784 Silvia Davis, Pitkin Cnty Clerk, Doc $.04 In developing and implementing this or any mitigation plan, it is important to understand that the plan must be evolutionary. While the goal of the plan must remain steadfast, the mitigation measures and the details of their implementation must be flexible, requiring monitoring and fine tuning over the years. It is recommended that the City undertake a program to review the effectiveness of the mitigation measures on a regular basis and to work with the Consortium to modify the details of the measures to ensure effective, yet efficient, implementation. 2 #3499.37 91/24/92 16:13 het $490.00 EF, 667 PG 785 Silvia Davis, Pitkin Cnty Clerk, Doc S.00 I1. Mitigation Plan for West Meadows Facilities A. Background Currently, the residential units on the western portion of the Aspen Meadows property include 60 lodge units and eight townhouses. The conceptual SPA approval included the addition of four single family residences, ten new three - bedroom townhomes, and 50 lodge units. The purpose of these additional facilities is primarily to better serve the group activities sponsored by the members of the Consortium. During the summer months, use will be almost exclusively by these groups. During the winter season, it is anticipated that the lodge may be operated for public use. Furthermore, the restaurant will be renovated, but will not be expanded. Finally, the health club, used primarily by guests of the West Meadows, will be enlarged slightly. In developing the mitigation plan, the committee considered measures that ad- dressed each of the primary user groups of the West Meadows facilities: guests, employees, and users of the restaurant or health club who are not staying on the grounds. Furthermore, a mitigation plan usually includes auto disincentives and incentives to use other modes of transportation. Auto disincentives are restrictive measures that discourage individuals from using their automobiles. The second element is comprised of measures that make it attractive and convenient to use alternatives to the automobile. As will be highlighted by the list of measures described in the following section, this mitigation plan includes a wide range of both auto disincentives and alternative mode incentives. How effective will this plan be? While it is very difficult to project exactly how much trip reduction will occur as a result of this plan, the committee believes that it has the potential to significantly mitigate the effects of additional traffic due to the new development. The following table presents a summary of trip generation which might be expected from the West Meadows based on trip rates typical of the Aspen area if no specific mitigation program is implemented. As shown, the existing residential and restaurant facilities could generate about 750 vehicle trips per day. The proposed additional residential units could generate another 340 trips per day, bringing the total trip estimate to nearly 1,100 vehicles per day. Thus, a 30 percent trip reduction would result in total traffic generation with the expanded facilities equal to that which could be generated by the existing facilities without a mitigation plan. Because of the nature of the users of the West Meadows and the broad -based character of the mitigation plan, it is believed that, when properly implemented, the proposed plan will achieve these results. 3 #340937 01/24/92 16:13 = $400.00 BK 667 PG 786 Silvia Davis, Pitkin Cnty Clerk, Doc $.00 co a 4 R 0 c es u v 4 . 4r 1 1s • Q ON , O en b O v o eo O O N a.

Elements of Mitigation Plan The following elements of a traffic mitigation plan directed at West Meadows related traffic have been identified. Airport Van Service Description: A free van service to and from the airport will be provided for guests and residents of the West Meadows. Because it is antici- pated that most of the guest visits wilt be prearranged, the lodge will dispatch the van (a vehicle with an approximate capacity of 12 -16 passengers) to pick up guests based on their flight schedule. Similarly, departures will also be able to be prearranged. All guests will be encouraged to use this convenient, yet efficient, service. Phasinv: This service will be initiated upon opening of the renovated lodge. Responsible Party: Lodge operator through agreement with Aspen Institute. 2. Van Service to/ from Town Description: A free van service will be operated between the West Meadows and downtown Aspen. This service will be available to all guests, residents, and employees of the West Meadows, including users of the restaurant, tennis courts, and health center. The ser- vice will utilize a relatively small vehicle, seating approximately 12- 16 passengers. The service will be a regularly scheduled service with frequent headways. During the high season, this route will run from early morning to late evening on one -half hour headways. The schedule will be adjusted for applicability to each season, and may be provided on an "on demand" basis during certain seasons. Phasing: The basic service described above will be initiated with the opening of the renovated lodge. Its usage will be monitored, and the service will be adjusted as necessary to meet the demand of the patrons. Jtesoons(ble Party: Lodge operator through agreement with Aspen Institute. 3. Chartered Vehicles for Group Activities Description: When appropriate, group activities either leaving or coming to the West Meadows will be served by chartered vehicles arranged by the management of the West Meadows. By providing this service, management will be better able to control the number and /or size of vehicles serving the participants in such activities. Furthermore, encouragement of the use of this service will discourage the use of private automobiles by participants. 5 340937 01/24/92 16:13 Rec 400.00 Pk: 667 PG 788 Silvia Davis, Pitkin Cnty Clerk, Doc $.00 Pinang: This service will be provided with the first organized groups using the West Meadows. Rest nnsible Party Lodge operator. 4. Guest Parking Descrintiop: No parking for the lodge units will be provided adjacent to the units. Instead, parking for these units will be located in a parking structure under the tennis courts. Thus, even if guests bring vehi- cles to the campus, their vehicles will not be immediately available to them. Furthermore, guests will need to walk past the van service in order to get to their vehicles. It is hoped that this concept will encourage guests to use the van service rather than their private automobiles. phasin See construction schedule. Responsible Party: Aspen Institute 5. Trail System Description: Site planning has provided for on- campus trails that connect to the extensive city -wide pedestrian and bike trail system adjacent to the Meadows property. Thus, the Meadows trail system has been designed to complement the City's efforts in developing pedestrian and bicycle trails, thus encouraging guests of the Meadows to use these modes of transportation. Phasing: The on -site trail systems will be phased through the City's trail construction program. jtesoonsible Party: City and the Consortium. 6. Bicycle Facilities Description: Bicycles will be made available for use by guests of the lodge at a minimal fee designed to cover maintenance, replacement, and administrative costs. Furthermore, bicycle racks will be provided at those facilities which may be used by persons not lodged at the West Meadows (for example, at the health center and at the tennis courts). Phasing: It is expected that this program will begin with 25 -30 bicycles available. The program will be monitored and the supply of bicy- cles will be increased accordingly. Responsible Party: Lodge operator. 6 ,-, #340937 01/24/92 16:13 Rec s400.00 BK 667 F'S 789 Silvia Davis, Pitkin Cnty Clerk, Doc 3.00 7. Promotional Materials Description: All promotional materials for the West Meadows lodge will emphasize the availability of the van service, will encourage walk- ing and bicycle use, and will discourage the need for personal automobiles. The focus of this mitigation measure is to precondi- tion the guest so that he or she chooses not to even rent a car upon arrival in Aspen. Phasing: This message will be included in all promotional materials published for the renovated lodge. Responsible Party. Lodge operator and Aspen Institute. 8. Employee Parking Description: Limited employee parking will be provided on -site. This parking will be available only for employees for whom vehicles are essential for the execution of their jobs and for employee carpools of 3 or more persons. A ride matching service will be available through management to encourage the formation of carpools. Furthermore, employees will be provided with their choice of subsidized transit passes or subsidized parking at the Rio Grande parking garage. A shuttle service will be provided for employees from the Rio Grande garage either in conjunction with the regular- ly scheduled van service to Town or as a separate operation. Phasing: This measure will be implemented with the opening of the renovated lodge. Responsible Party: Lodge operator and Aspen institute. 9. Coordination with Potential Rail Service Description: If passenger -rail service does materialize on the Rio Grande right -of -way, a transit stop will be encouraged in a location which would allow access to the Meadows via the pedestrian bridge on the Roaring Fork River. Phasing: To be implemented with the initiation of rail service.

Delivery Truck Restrictions Description: Because of the expected infrequency of large vehicle deliveries to the West Meadows property (approximately 4 to 5 per day), it is recommended that truck restrictions be focused on time of day and route restrictions. It is recommended that deliveries will be limited to the hours of 9:00 - 11:00 A.M. and 2:00 - 4:00 P.M. Thus, the noise impacts of delivery vehicles will not occur during the most sensitive time periods. Furthermore, all deliveries to the West Meadows will be restricted to use of Seventh Street only between the Meadows and SH 82. These restrictions will be implemented through operator agreements. Phasing; The time of day and route restrictions will be implemented upon opening of the renovated lodge. Responsible Party: Lodge operator and Aspen Institute. 8 #340937 01/24/92 16:13 Rec 3400.00 BI' 667 PG 791 Silvia Davis, Pitkin Cnty Clerk, Doc $.40 III. Mitigation Plan for MAA Facilities A. Background The MAA facilities, located on the eastern portion of the property, will include rearranged seating in the tent and a new rehearsal facility to accommodate rehears- als and small performances. It is important to note that the modifications to the performance tent will not increase the size of the audiences; they will simply improve the seating conditions for the audiences. Although there are students and faculty associated with traffic related to the MAA facilities, the majority of concerns expressed by neighbors are related to the impacts created by concert - goers. Therefore, most of the mitigation measures included in this plan are focused on these users. Principally, these measures are directed at encouraging concert -goers to walk, bike, or ride the transit system rather than driving their automobiles to the concert. This part of the plan particularly will be evolutionary in nature. Efforts to reduce auto use have already been undertaken in recent years by the MAA in conjunction with West End residents. The elements discussed in the following section are a further expansion of these earlier efforts. As the program is implemented and evaluated, it is expected that even further refinements will be appropriate. B. Elements of Mitigation Plan In developing a mitigation plan to address MAA traffic, the program focuses on several measures. `,' 1 Promotional Materials pescriation: Promotional materials (including maps distributed by MAA will encourage use of transit, bicycles, or walkways to access the concert site. Phasing: These efforts have already been initiated and will be continued. Responsible Party: MAA 2. Pedestrian /Bicycle Ways pescriotion: An enhanced system of routes exclusively designated for use by pedestrians and bicyclists to access the concert area will be implemented. This system will include: o Continued designation of the Lake Avenue pedestrian /bicycle way. 9 *340937 01/24/92 16:13 Re. $400.00 DK 667 PG 792 Silvia Davis, Pitkin Cnty Clerk, Doc $.00 o Fourth Street will be closed to automobile traffic from Gillespie Street to Main Street for approximately one hour before and one hour after major concerts. Prior to concerts, the street will be for pedestrian /bicycle use only. After the concerts, it will used for pedestrian /bicycle traffic and for buses leaving the MAA grounds. Allowing buses to use this route after concerts will separate the buses from automobile traffic, thereby decreasing the delay experienced by the buses and thus providing an incentive for using the transit service. This closure will include barricades and appropriate signing at both ends of Fourth Street and will require Tem- porary warning signs at each cross street to ensure the safety of pedestrians and bicyclists. Furthermore, the proposed design of the MAA parking lot provides for a continuation of the pedestrianway from Fourth Street to the music tent. o Facilities for bicycle storage during concerts will be pro- vided in the vicinity of the tent. Imolementatlon: It is anticipated that the Fourth Street closure will be implemented during the next concert season. The bicycle storage facilities will be provided with the improvements to the MAA parking lot. Responsible Party. MAA and City. 3. Enhanced Transit Service pescriotion: Transit service to the MAA grounds will continue to be improved and emphasized. This includes elements affecting the city -wide system, circulation through the neighborhood, and on -site operation: ' o All city -wide RFTA bus routes serving the West End, as well as the special MAA bus runs, will continue to provide service. Enhanced signing and bus service information will be provided at the Rio Grande parking garage to direct patrons to the bus stop on Main I Q Street. 1XM ' o Prior to a scheduled concert, large buses (unless carrying a greater number of passengers than can be accommodated by the circulating shuttle or during inclement weather) will unload all passengers at , the intersection of Fourth /Main. Concert goers will then be en t o�"� couraged to walk on Fourth Street to the tent or to use the smaller p _ vehicle shuttle which will be circulating on Main, Fifth, Gillespie, and Third Streets. This vehicle will be a compressed natural gas powered vehicle and will operate for approximately one -half to one LJ \IVAik hour before the concert. IG Following concerts, buses will stand by on Fourth Street or at the transit stop in the parking lot to transport concert goers back to the center of town. 0066 r N� G 10 • AA e 40937 01/24/92 16:13 Rec $- ,00.00 BK 667 PG 793 F Silvia Davis, Pitkin Cnty Clerk, Doc $.00 o The MAA parking lot has been designed to provide a location for buses to load and unload passengers while removed from Gillespie $ Street. This location is on the south end of the parking lot and would allow good clockwise circulation of the buses from Fifth Street into the parking lot and back out onto the street system at Fourth and Gillespie. Phasing: It is anticipated that this improved transit service will be provided during the next concert season. The program will be monitored and the service will be adjusted accordingly. Resnonsible Party; The transit service will be the responsibility of RFTA. The transit improvements in the parking lot will be the responsibility of the MAA. 4. Truck Restrictions Description: Although the number of' large vehicle deliveries to the MAA facilities is very limited, it is recommended that all such vehicles will be restricted to using Third Street only between the MAA grounds and Main Street. MAA will enforce this limitation with their vehicle drivers. Phasing: These restrictions will be implemented during the next concert season. Responsible Party: MAA 5. Residential Parking Permit Program Description: A residential parking permit program is still under consideration. This program would prohibit all parking on streets from Mill Street to Eighth Street and from Main Street to the Roaring Fork River other than for residents or their guests during the concert season. The MAA would institute naId in their lots in connection with this plan. Permit parking may require issuance of' vehicle stickers for a fee, installation of appropriate signage, and City enforcement. Phasing: It is recommended that the residential parking permit program be instituted after the effectiveness of the remainder of the mitigation plan has been evaluated. Because of the significant impacts of such a program on the residents of the West End, further input from the residents should be incorporated into an implementation plan for this program. Resnonsible Party: MAA, City and West End residents.

The stated intent is basically to experiment or test this new parking configuration to handle overflow parking for events and determine whether they would like to make it a permanent condition. The position of ComDev staff is that if we are to recommend a Temporary Use approval to City Council, the experiment should be a true experiment. We would like the Institute to choose a mid -sized event such as the Rotary Meeting, and a large 3 -day event, and gather a variety of relevant data without the overflow parking at the tennis courts. With this baseline, or "control" data in place, we're asking the Institute to then use the tennis courts for overflow parking for at least one mid -sized event and at least one large 3 -day event, and gather the same data in order to determine the impacts of using the tennis courts with regard to transportation and parking. Staff wants to take this approach so we will have some data to evaluate what impacts the overflow parking would have, if the Institute does decide it wants a permanent amendment to The Aspen Meadows Master Plan. This is where you come in. Having spoken to Jim Curtis, it isn't entirely clear at this point whether the Institute is in agreement about staff's suggestion for a true experiment. This letter is going to Jim as well, and he will be in touch with you shortly. I am looking for your input on two things: • Does ComDev's position re: setting up a true experiment make sense to you; • If so, can you identify the data that should be collected as part of the experiment when you talk with Jim. 1 wanted to include two policy statements contained in The Aspen Meadows Master Plan, which you are probably already familiar with, as context for this issue. • Policy: Limit, to the maximum degree feasible, the use of the automobile on the campus. Provide parking, as needed, either underground or at the periphery of the campus. • Policy: Require improved transit service to be provided for all significant functions on the campus and create improved opportunities for non -auto access. Because I am out of town through May 10, I am cc:ing this to Jennifer Phelan. After you meet with Jim Curtis on this, Lynn, can you let Jennifer know your position on how to proceed, in other words: a) We don't need an experiment as described above, or b) Yes, there out to be a reliable experiment, including a "control" and data gathering, that shows us what impacts the overflow parking might have, or c) Some combination of a + b that you are comfortable with. Jennifer will take it from there in terms of making sure that a planner prepares a memo to City Council in time for the hearing, which is scheduled for May 24. Thanks very much. Ben Gagnon Special Projects Planner Community Development Department Hi All: Tricia and I met with Jim Curtis this morning. Below are Transportation's comments on the Institute's request for additional parking. Transportation Comments 1. Because the 46 parking spaces requested by the Institute are in addition to the existing on- street parking, new trips will be generated by this proposal. 2. It is my understanding that this parking is only to be used for specific events. In keeping with the policy statements regarding provision of transit and limiting traffic to the maximum degree feasible, staff would like to see a TDM plan for the events at which the new parking spaces are requested. 3. Staff is concerned that this request conflicts with Council's recent direction to focus effort and funding on reducing traffic in the West End neighborhood this summer. Environmental Health, Engineering and Transportation are in agreement that an experiment is concerning because: 1. Typically we require an applicant to undertake a traffic study and propose measures to mitigate /track traffic impact, rather than approve a project and then study it. 2. It would be difficult to create an apples to apples experiment due to all of the variables involved. 3. It's pretty well established that creating new, free parking will increase vehicle trips. Please let me know if you want to discuss further. Lee, John and Trish — please add anything I may have left out. Thanks, Lynn Rumbaugh Transportation Programs Manager City of Aspen 130 South Galena Street Aspen, CO 81611 voice: 970-920-5038 fax: 970 -544 -9447 Lynn, I would just add that I can't see any way around the Aspen Meadows Master Plan policies, i.e. any way that adding 46 spaces is not in direct conflict with those policies: • Policy: Limit, to the maximum degree feasible, the use of the automobile on the campus. Provide parking, as needed, either underground or at the periphery of the campus. • Policy: Require improved transit service to be provided for all significant functions on the campus and create improved opportunities for non -auto access. Adding parking spaces is the opposite of "limiting the use of the automobile on campus to the maximum degree feasible ". Reducing available parking spaces would be consistent with these policies. Regarding the "experiment ", I would suggest that an apples to apples comparison is not possible, due to the large number of variables that can't be controlled.

Traffic A Traffic and Parking Report by Schmueser, Gordon, Meyers, Engineers, is given in Exhibit 4. The report has the following main findings: 1. On a comparative basis, the Meeting Hall will generate less traffic than the 12 "unbuilt" lodge units approved under the 1991 SPA Plan. This is because the Meeting Hall is an accessory use to the existing 98 lodge units and "in and of itself" is not a significant traffic generator because it is not increasing the bed base of the Meadows. 2. The Aspen Meadows has done an excellent job of implementing the recommendations of the Traffic Mitigation Plan of the 1991 SPA Plan. Because of the excellent job of the Meadows and the fly -in characteristics of its conferences, groups and events business, this has resulted in an overall reduction of traffic generated by the Meadows operations. The traffic mitigation measures of the Meadows are outlined in the Traffic Report in Exhibit 4. 4 3. Even considering Items 1 & 2 above, it is expected there will be a slight increase in the overall traffic at the Meadows because it is hoped the Meeting Hall will result in an higher occupancy of the 98 lodge units. However, the overall traffic impact of 110 lodge units was considered and approved by City Council as part of the 1991 SPA Plan. Therefore, the • slight increase in traffic resulting from an higher occupancy of the 98 lodge . , units would still be less than the traffic impact of the 110 lodge units which were approved. As outlined in the Traffic Report, the traffic at the Aspen Meadows can generally be classified into two categories: 1. Out -of -town guests for conferences, groups or events. Out -of -town guests nf generate very little traffic at the Aspen Meadows. Aspen Meadows management estimates approximately 75% of the Aspen Meadows out -of- town guests fly -in and are met at the airport by the Aspen Meadows shuttle vans. Of the remaining 25% guests, management estimates an approximate 50 -50% split between guests who fly -in and rent a car and guests who do MeadowsSPAAmend 14 q q. 1 1 not fly -in but drive -in. The Aspen Meadows operates 5 shuttle vans with seating capacities between 10 — 15 people each. More importantly, when reservations are taken for conferences and groups, Aspen Meadows management tell their guests a car is not necessary and promote their car free setting and shuttle service. The Aspen Meadows does an excellent job of promoting and providing a car free visit for its guests. 2. Locally oriented conferences, groups or events. Locally oriented events generate most of the Aspen Meadows traffic. Examples would be the Thursday morning Rotary, local homeowners attending Institute events, local weddings, events like the Bob George or Tom Peirce memorials, and 1 general local traffic. These are locally oriented events where locals either drive, bike or walk to the event. The Aspen Meadows has very little control over how people choose to come to these events. ■ It is important to distinguish between the two types of traffic because attaining higher occupancy of the 98 lodge units will have minimal increase in traffic because these are predominately out -of -town guests who fly -in and use the Aspen Meadows van service. Concurrently, the number of locally oriented events will probably not significantly change or increase simply due to the new Meeting Hall. Therefore, the applicant is confident the overall traffic will only increase slightly or basically remain the same as the current operations. Moreover, because the bed base is not being increased, any increase in traffic due to the higher occupancy of the 98 lodge units was taken into account in the approval of the 1991 SPA Plan. As also noted in the Traffic Report, the Aspen Meadows has done an excellent job of implementing the recommendations of the Traffic Mitigation Plan of the 1991 SPA Plan. The Traffic Report outlines the traffic mitigation measures of the Meadows. Because of the fly -in characteristics of its conference, groups and events business, and its excellent mitigation measures, traffic at the Meadows seem well within the parameters of the 1991 SPA Plan. B. Parking Day -to -day parking at the Aspen Meadows is simply not a problem. As part of the 1991 SPA Plan, the Aspen Meadows constructed a 97 car parking garage under the tennis courts. On a day -to -day basis, the parking garage is rarely full. Again, this is due to the high percentage of out -of -town guests who fly -in and use the Aspen Meadows shuttles, and do not rent a car. MeadowsSPAAmend 15 4 ✓ The parking issue at the Aspen Meadows is strictly infrequent peak parking overflow. Approximately 5 - 7 times a year, the Aspen Meadows will have keynote events or larger locally oriented events where overflow parking is a problem, and people sometime park along Meadows Road. To handle these infrequent peak parking times, the Aspen Meadows proposes to convert the existing two clay tennis courts to overflow parking as shown on the Parking Plan herein. The two tennis courts will accommodate approximately 46 cars. As shown r on the Parking Plan, the Aspen Meadows also proposes to upgrade this area by r extending the row of street trees along Meadows Road, removing the 10 -foot tall r cyclone tennis fence and replacing it with a low wood fence, and doing low landscape screening in -front of the new wood fence. This will create a much nicer entrance along Meadows Road, will have less visual impact to the neighbors across the street, and the overflow parking will probably be used not more than 5- 7 times a year. V. EARLY EXCAVATION, FOUNDATION AND UTILITIES WORK Applicant requests the flexibility to do early excavation, foundation and utilities work in April —May 2005. This work would be contingent on recording an Amended SPA Plat and Development Agreement but prior to issuance of a - full" Building Permit. Flexibility to do early work in April -May is desirable for all parties to minimize the start-up construction impacts of the project on the Aspen Meadows summer season, Music Association summer season, and the adjoining neighbors. Start-up excavation, foundation and utilities is typically the messiest and noisiest part of construction, and April -May is the perfect time to do this work prior to the start of the summer season. Early work would also allow the applicant to get a head start on the project and allow on -going construction during the summer and winter of 2005 with occupancy by June 1, 2006. Pursuant to the 1991 SPA Plan, applicant is meeting with the Music Association to ensure construction will have minimal "noise" impact on the Music Tent and MAA summer season. VI.

' 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.
