Specific areas which are also in the map.
Del Duce explained that any new development t_ wc .,il.d not
be required to supplement what Aspen now lacks .
Schiffer questioned if the were recommending amending
the subdivision regulations so as to require a dedi-
cation based on density as opposed to land.
Del Duca explained that that was correct.
Vidal questioned if it would be appropriate to include
in something like this report, a situation where a
neighborhood would try to buy a piece of land and give
it to the City, and if there was some dialogue in the
report whereby the City would say , If a group of
people did that, that the City would them be able to
put some funds in to improve the facility or put some
facilities on it. "
Armstrong stated that he felt there was a possibility
of that, but explained that in the area which Vidal
was referring to, in the plan it is taken care of .
Vidal stated that he felt that may encourage some other
areas to do the same if the City had a policy where.,-
if a neighborhood would participate and help purchase
land, it would be a commitment by the City to facili-
tate it.
Chairman Gillis stated that he found the report con--
fusing, although he agreed with the conclusions , but
how they arrived at the conclusions could not. under-
stand.
Bartel stated that he felt that Armstrong had probably
used a low figure as relates to population projection.
•
Felt that in the summer, you have to go for peaks .
Bartel further explained that procedurally, the Corn-
mission could pass this back to Armstrong with their
recommendation that he use it as a guide. Could not
adopt this as a plan because of the required publi--
_ cation and public hearing.
Concensus of the Commission was to send it on for ap--
proval, but pointed out that there are some areas
that could be cleaned up in the way of logistics .
Schiffer made a motion to approve the plan, •=econded
by Johnson. All in favor , motion carried.
Armstrong stated that periodically he would be appear-
ing before the Commission with specific plans for all
the areas based on these standards .

time, feel this project, feel the developer has also
addressed himself to it.
Moran pointed out that the proposed density in this
project is 10 . 6 units per acre. Looking to either
side of it, the Gant is 25 per acre , the Clarendon is
15 per acre. Stated that yesterday at County P & Z
conceptual approval was given to the Stillwater pro-
ject at 2 . 6 units per acre, and further on out, to the
Northstar project, as week or two previously that was
given conceptual approval at the County level at 1. 2
per acre. Stated that the transition flow is there .
Whether the curve is at the right level is something
the Commission might discuss .
Moran stated that the other problem which has been
bothering both bodies is the low cost housing problem,
and this project has in its plan an 18 unit apartment
building that would be covenanted for permanent resi-
dents and would be this project' s answer to that com-
munity need.
Ms . Maddalone pointed out that they are very aware of
planning standards in the Benedict Office. Feel it
was quite natural that these standards were taken into
consideration even in the beginning planning stages .
Stated that many of the things the P & Z is discussing
now were considered initially and stated that this was
there best presentation .
Baker stated that rather than coming in with some high-
er number in hopes of_ negotiating it down to a lower
level the applicant had come in with a realistic plan.
Vidal stated that he did not feel he could make a
purely objective decision on this , consequently was
removing himself from the Commission for this presen-
tation.
Ms. Baer reminded the Commission that when subdivision
was tabled there were two major considerations : (1) the
water pressure in that area. That has not changed; and
(2) the drainage channel that is shown on the Urban
Runoff Management Plan.
Ms. Baer stated that the applicant has been in contact
with Wright-McLaughlin, who is designing that channel ,
and Ken Ash, their representative, informed her that
it could be accommodated on that site with some plat
changes . Ms. Baer stated that the applicant is not
presenting a new plat, so therefore, feel that as re-
fers to subdivision, the Commission cannot approve
plat they have not seen , therefore, should deny or ask
the applicant to withdraw without a time limit on that.
Ms. Maddalone stated that Mr. Taggert in Wright-Mc--
Laugh].in ' s Denver office, was actually the one who de-
signed the Urban Runoff Plan . Stated he felt that ap-
propriate action should be taken by the City Council
to use funds which have already been budgeted for and
that Wright-McLaughlin should be directed to solve LhiJ
problem with the landowner since it was a commuit_i t.y
problem and not, a problem that was caused by t_hi :, j, ,?---
ticular parcel of land.

Ms . Maddalone stated that there are several alternate
plans which could be used to accommodate the communi v
in that way. Stated that some of the plans do not re-
quire revision of the site plan .
Ms . Baer stated that she would agree with the first
part of the statement, but stated that her information
from Taggert and Ken Ash was that there would have to
be a modification of the site plan.
Baker stated that he did understand that this could be
accomplished underground. Stated that it is not a
natural drainage channel, but rather, a revised drain-
age channel and feels this amounts to a taking of land.
Felt that if someone is planning to take the land there
is some procedure which should be followed.
Ms. Baer stated that whatever the case, it needs to be
dealt with before subdivision approval . Stated that
it was her understanding from Ms . Maddalone that the
landowner was willing to accommodate this channel.
Stated that the design of the channel would have to be
changed somewhat in order to put it on this site, and
Taggert and Ash informed Ms. Baer that the site plan
would have to be modified. Stated that if there is a
question of willingness to do that, then that has to
be settled.
Baker stated that he did not feel that was really a
question. Stated that as long as both parties agree
that the modifications can be made, questioned if there
was some way the applicant could get an approval sub-
ject to that modification being made .
•
Ms. Baer stated that she did not feel the Commission
could approve a preliminary plat they have not seen.
Baker pointed out that they had been asked to table
once before voluntarily . Stated that they were not
told at the time that there was going to be a proposal
to downzone the property . Stated that the applicant
wondered if perhaps they were being asked to withdraw
so that something could be accomplished that would pre-
clude all of this .
• Ms . Maddalone stated that their position would be that
they have seen the subdivision plat which they are
asking to be approved and that just as this subdivision
plat does not show detailed engineering drawings for
the waterlines that it also shows Wr.i_ght-Mctaughlin ' s
Urban Runoff plan,. conceptual design for this same run-
off plan. Stated that she was certain the Commission
was aware that there is a great difference between ac-
tual engineering drawings and conceptual design.
Moran questioned Ms. Baer on the state of the discus-
sions with the Water Engineer as far as accomplishing
the necessary drainage .
Ms. Maddalone stated that they had three proposals or
four proposals . Stated that one of the proposals went
through the site and stated that it could be handled
through the site in several different manners : could
be an open drainage ditch. Have discussed the pos--

sibility of going underground, and slated 1_'1 ;:. thi:
was the type of thine; Mr. Taggert and Mir. t':Th Celt
should come to the City Council and they should be
directed to take care of this particular part ,f the
Urban Runoff Plan first because they considered it to
be the highest priority. Felt the responsibility was
with the Council to appropriate the money to let
Wright-McLaughlin do the engineering in connection
with their office.
Gillis questioned Ms . Maddalone if the City was not
willing to appropriate the money now, does that mean
that the developing is going on faster than they can
keep up with.
Ms. Maddalone stated that she felt the City was miss-
ing an opportunity if they don' t, because she under-
stood that this money has been budgeted and it is a
matter of whether they spend it on the Urban Runoff
Drainage Plan or whether they might use it for some
kind of sedimentation ponds that might be landscaped .
Felt that from a hazard point of view, according to
Mr. Taggert, this has top priority in their office.
Ms. Maddalone stated that she felt this was an oppor-
tunity for the City to be :able to have an easement in
an area where they might not . Stated that if they
would not be able to develope there , there is not much
reason for them to volunteer an easement and then work
around it. Stated that they should work concurrently.
Chairman Gillis questioned if the developer would be
willing to hold the development until the City is ready
to put the plan into effect.
Ms. Maddalone stated that she did not wish to question
the credibility on holding things up.
Baker stated that it would depend a great deal on the
timing.
Assistant Engineer Ed Del Duca stated that the Engin-
eering Department had not seen any revised plat that
showed any allowance for a drainage channel. Stated
that the Department also did not accept designs di-
rected for Wright-McLaughlin without reviewing those
also. Stated that the cost consideration in under-
grounding can be three times that cost to the City .
Stated that they would like to see what' s going to
happen before approval of the project.
Ms. Maddalone stated that the applicant would like to
know what the City is going to do before they get an
easement.
Del. Duca stated that it was very clear on the Drainage
Plan. Stated that the intent was for an open channel .
Further stated that the plan was heard publicly and
adopted by the City Council.
Moran stated that he felt the problem is that if the
• City feels that it needs an open drainage cl anne 5
ross that property or some rights across the proper1-';
and they sire concerned about acquiring them now, t_1 e':

i_n condemnation. Stated that the other aspect. is
"no" unless the City is prepared to get in and deal
and bargain on this thing to look for a common solu-
tion to what seems to be competing desires here.
Stated that as far as this subdivision is concerned
it requires for its drainage no drainage channel other
than is as shown on the plats. Stated that if the
City wants some drainage provision to take care of
runoff from Aspen Mountain, feel that that does not
affect this subdivision application at the present
stage.
Ms . Baer stated that she would agree that it does not
directly involve the application. Stated that it does
involve the plat. Stated that if the Commission could
not see it on a plat to evaluate it on that basis ,
could not recommend adoption of a specific plat to
the Commission . Further felt that something could
be worked out. Stated that first it was necessary to
approach the City Council since there would be public
expenditure there .
_Moran stated that the applicant' s subdivision plat, the
way it is applying to subdivide the land, does not have
anything to do with the City ' s desire to run a drainage:
channel through that land . Are saying that when the
City comes up with its plan and they can lay it over
the plat and make a dedication or an arrangement, then
that would be fine.
Ms. Maddalone stated that there would certainly be mod-
ifications to the plat.. Reminded the Commission that
this was only the preliminary stage.
Johnson stated he would like to hear Ed address the
problem of water pressure.
Del Duca stated that they are finalizing the study on
•the entire City. Stated that they have not got a final
. answer. Stated that they are presently looking at
alternatives . Do not think there is adequate pressure
in present system.
Schiffer questioned if the preliminary plat were ap-
proved at this stage, not knowing about this drain-
age channel, that it could jeopardize the City ' s drain-
age plan.
Ms . Baer stated that her point was that the Commission
could not approve a plat until they have seen it.
Stated that the drainage plan must be worked out.
Vidal stated that he had withdrawn from the Ordinance
#19 aspect of the presentation, but felt he could com-
ment on the subdivision review.
Vidal questioned Ms. Baer, if approval were appropri_at;
or approval with conditions, to make it conditional
upon the appl i cant granting the necessary right-of-
way to accommodate the drainage plan and work concur-
rently to dcveiopc engineering solutions to that .
Ms . Baer stated, that she did not feel the app] icon'.

the next stage is for Benedict to do more details on
their plan and more details from Wright-McLaughlin .
Schiffer stated that one of his concerns is with the
possible traffic congestion in that area and the pro-
blem with access .
Ms. Baer stated that the applicant has agreed to dedi-
cate ten feet.
Chairman Gillis questioned Del Duca if the Engineering
Department had an opinion on the traffic problem in
that area.
Del Duca stated that as Bartel had previously presented
the traffic on Ute Avenue is already serious . Stated
the City has no current plans to improve that condi-
tion.
Baker stated that he understood that all of the devel-
opers in that area have dedicated additional right-
of-way for street widening . Stated that the street
could be improved to handle the traffic .
Ms. Baer pointed out that Ute Avenue is not a through
street. Further, are no cross streets after a certain
point.
Vidal also withdrew from the discussion on subdivision.
Del Duca pointed out that the drainage channel proposed
by Wright-McLaughlin would go through several buildings
on the preliminary plat. Felt the plat could not be
approved due to the scope of the drainage plan.
Pointed out that the channel is 100 ' at some points .
Ms. Baer stated that, given the location of the pro-
ject, the position of the Planning Office has always
been that tourist use is the incorrect use in mixed-
. residential , particularly at the far easter.n, end of
Ute Avenue. Stated that they were recommending denial
on the tourist use.
Ms. Baer stated that they are further recommending
that the Commission adopt the zoning plan that was pre
sented, and thus set that density on that piece of pro-
perty.
Moran stated that he disagreed.
Vagneur stated that she found a great deal of difficul-
ty in equating square footage of land uses for the pro-
jects on Ute Avenue with the proposed zoning . Stated
that the Gant uses about 1500 square feet of land per
unit. The Clarendon is about 3 , 000 square feet. The
Ute project would be one unit for 4 , 327 square feet of
land, and the proposed downzoning would be five times
as great. Felt that it was not fair to expect a de-
veloper to cut back that much.
Jenkins stated that in connection with the Gant and
the Concept 600 building , the principal , us i_ncJ them a'
a standard , is not balanced because that is pert of
what caused Ordinance 4-19 to be placed in effect in
-11-

the first place.
Vagneur :a ated that she could not see within a few hun-
dred yards requiring someone to have five times as
much property . •
Chairman Gillis pointed out that the affect of traffic
at the Cant is not as great as what there would be on
Ute Avenue.
Vagneur stated that since the present zoning would al-
low the applicant to build over 200 units , and the
fact that they were only proposing 77 units , shows that
the applicant is bending an awfully long way.
Baker stated that the applicant felt a particular har-
assment from the Planning Office, in that they feel
they were put upon and asked to withdraw. Were not
told of the downzoning proposal in advance. Stated
that they were told at the last meeting in• January
that they would be given some recommendations from
the Planning Office in writing. Have asked for those
recommendations several times and have not received
them. Have not always been informed of what is hap-
pening with the meetings . Stated that this has been
going on since early last fall or late last summer.
Moran stated that the talk always gets back down to
density. Stated that in rezoning downward, given an
area which has been allowed to develope in a certain
fashion at a certain density , you cannot come down all
the way to zero . Felt that in this situation, the ap-
plicant is about at the point where you begin to break
over into an area where the adjustment is too gross
to be sustained. Stated that in this situation , the
Commission has an applicant who is coming in with what
is basically a third of existing zoning, and feel that
the applicant here has proposed a solution that is
about as far as you could come by the most strenuous
exercise of the police power. Feel that deserves • some
consideration. Further stated that R-6 zoning would
come close to allowing the numbers which the applicant
is currently proposing.
• Schiffer questioned how many units the applicant could
build under the proposed zoning.
Moran stated that it would be about 23 units .
Jenkins stated since that can include duplexes , it
would be closer to 4.5 units.
Michael Kinsley, representing the Environmental Task
Force, stated that the talk is getting down to the
profitability of the land. Felt that if that is the
policy of the Commission, then maybe it would be ap-
propriate to have some figures on this project as to
what is the minimum feasible development.
Schiffer stated that he did not feel the Commission , in
the case of the Clarendon , made a. decision based on
whether or not the applicant could male a profit.
Baker stated that the applicant interpreted Ordinance
-12-
RECORD OF PROCEEDft! < 100 Leave.
Continued Meeting Aspen Planning & Zoning February 7 , 1974
##19 as an att_enrot to reduce density. Stated that, that
is what there proposal has done. Stated that during the earlier discussions , the only problem that really
came up was the tourist versus the permanent use .
Stated that there is no desire on the part of the ap-
plicant to try and block any plan to create a better
drainage plan for the City , but insofar as Ordinance
#19 is concerned, the applicant felt that they are
fulfilling that intent:.
Schiffer stated that he appreciated the applicant ' s at--
tempt to comply with Ordinance #19 in terms of getting
a mix. Did not feel that it was enough of a mix to
say that it is predominantly a residential type of'
development. Feel that it is too much density for
that particular area.
Ms. Maddalone pointed out that one of the things that
is in the project is the 18-unit apartments which were
subsidized by the other units . Stated that the Com-
mission could remove the 18 units . Stated that they
were told by the Planning Office in April that the
recommendation for that area was 8-10 units per acre
with a PUD mandatory .
Ms . Baer stated that the Planning Office felt that
there is a basis for their recommendations on rezoning .
Baker questioned what the definition of a duplex is
by the Planning Office.
Johnson stated that he felt the applicants have defi-
nitely addressed the question in good faith. Also
feel that the density and use are too much.
Johnson made a motion to deny the project under Or-
dinance #19 , seconded by Schiffer .
Ms. Maddalone pointed out that the developer has not
precluded this being permanent residential. Are just
asking for a definition of what is permanent resi-
dential and the enforcement of this .
Jenkins stated that the use problem did not bother him.
Stated that the density was his concern, and felt that
possibly, that area should be developed like Red Moun-
tain.
MAIN MOTION Roll call vote - Gillis , aye; Vidal, abstain; Johnson,
aye; Jenkins , aye; Schiffer, aye; Vagneur, no . Motion
carried.
Ms . Maddalone requested written reasons for the denial_ .
Johnson made a motion to deny the preliminary subdivi-
sion plat, seconded by Schiffer. All in favor , with
the exception of Vagneur who was opposed. Motion car-
ried.
Ms. Maddalone stated that she felt there were some
tourists v c
l_
contradictor} considerations . Felt the wou l d '.
put far less impact on the public facilities . Feel.
that the applicant has been seriously misled .

a preliminary subdivision plat application for a 77 unit
condominium project located on Ute Ave. in the City of Aspen.
The denial was based on the following reasons:
1. A site plan is an integral part of the subdivision
preliminary plat and must accurately show easements,
circulation, utilities, open space, proposed
dwelling structures, parking areas and principal
landscaping features, Sec. 20-5 of the subdivision
regulation. Because elements of the adopted Urban
Runoff Management Plan are located on the develop-
ment site, the submitted site plan is subject to
change and does not permit an adequate evaluation
of the requirements of Sec. 20-5 of the subdivision
regulation.
2. Adequate water supply has not been demonstrated.
Sec. 20-7 3.
3. The project is not in conformity with the intent
and purpose of the subdivision regulation to
promote an adequate and efficient street and
road yystem; to prevent congestion in streets
and promote traffic safety . . . to insure the

proper distribution of population; to provide
for adequate utilities and public improvements;
and to improve the health and safety and general
welfare of the people of the City of Aspen.

On 2/7/74 the Planning Commission denied approval of a
conceptual presentation for the above captioned 77 unit
condominium project on Ute Avenue for the following
reasons :
1. Growth resulting from the proposed project

Re: Ute Village Project
• #73-12
Dear Ms. Baer:
Because of the Planning Office concern regarding the location of
a drainage canal proposed in the Urban Runoff Management Plan
prepared by Wright-McLaughlin, August 1973; we are agreeable to
extending the time required for action by the Planning and Zoning
Commission to January 15, 1974 for the Ordinance #19 conceptual
phase sub-division -- preliminary phase and planned unit develop-
ment outline phase.
It is our understanding that the Planning Commission is to direct
its recommendations to the density and use of the project under
Ordinance #19.
The location of the drainage canal and the ability of the city
water department to provide adequate water pressure seem to be
the only conditions which still require a solution under the sub-
division, P.U.D. regulations.
We believe the items in question can be satisfactorily resolved
in a very short time.

Vidal stated that if the Commission wants to limit growth,
should limit the expansion of ski areas.
Windes explained that they felt a need exists for a first
class hotel in Asp: n. Windes submitted a model of the pro-
ject in order to provide an idea of the size and density.
Weedum pointed out to the Commission that one floor of one
of the buildings is to be employee housing.
Vidal pointed out that the Commission had previously indi-
cated that there could be a trade-off between commercial
space and hotel space. Further stated that he was in favor
of a pitched roof over a square roof .
Ute Village V/ Ed Baker, of the Alpine Land Company of Denver was present
Condominiums to make the presentation.
Baker stated that this was a request for 77 units , with a
mixture of condominiums, apartments , and two single-family
dwellings.
Further stated that of these 77 units, there would he 43
townhouses, with a mixture of 2 , 3 and 4 bedrooms . Also 14
patio houses and 2 single family dwellings and 18 apartments.
Baker stated that most recent zoning allows 29 units per
acre, but they are proposeing just slightly over 10 units
per acre.
Baker further stated that 22.E of the project is devoted to
lower cost housing. Further pointed out that there is an
8" sanitary sewer 150 ' from the western corner of the site
and that located. within Ute Avenue is a new 12" water main
and 4" gas main. Stated that they were not sure if there
would be gas available to serve the project., but that Holy
Cross had informed them that there would be adequate elec-
tricity to service the• project entirely electrically.
Baker stated that the anticipated development schedule would
be to begin construction within 1 year and complete construc-
tion within 3 years.
Baker stated that he felt this project was consistent with
the intent of Ordinance 0.9
Pat Maddalone was present and questioned the Commission on
what considerations there were in addition to the economic

Moran stated that they are not able at this time to deter-
mine whether or not they should withdraw.
Moran reviewed Ordinance #19 with the Commission, reminding
the Commission of the purposes of Ordinance #19 and the dut-
ies of the Commission.
Moran stated that in their presentation they would discuss
whether or not the proposed use falls within the use guide-
lines of the land use map. Feels that even if the CoIIlmission
classifies this as a tourist--accommodation, could justify
why this would be beneficial to Aspen.

and plans to the Commission: site location map, site area
map, existing land use map, existing zoning,Aspen interim
land use map for that area, owner ' s commitment map, design

Dr. Robert Crouch was present, Professor of Economics at the
University of California, and gave a summary of the economic
effects that this project would have on the community if it

housing.
Crouch submitted a summary table of the economic impact on
the City of Aspen of Clarendon at 100 percent occupancy by
permanent residents and at 38 . 8 percent average monthly oc-
cupancy by tourists and visitors . Sampling consisted of
600 condominiums in the area.
Crouch summarized the impact in the following fashion :
Demographic Impact (Giving the increment in the City ' s popu-
lation for an average month and for a peak month) ; Fiscal
impact ( General fund, Earmarked Funds , Special Districts ,
and total fiscal impact) ; Traffic Impact (total additional
daily vehicle trips in a peak month, additional daily ve-
hicle trips in a peak month using HWY 82 , maximum additional
daily demand for parking spaces in the Central Area in a
peak month', and maximum additional daily vehicle trips to
central area in a peak month) ; Pollution Impact (automobile
emmissions , fireplace emmissions) ; Hospital impact (addition-
al admissions , additional emergency room visits) ; Skline

Dear Mr. Baker:
Pursuant to the request of the Aspen Planning and Zoning
Commission, the Aspen City Council at its November 26th
meeting authorized the immediate employment of an urban
economist to analyze the economic impact of yours and
similar projects and to test the validity of and impact
of the mater plan (updated) land use recommendations .
These developments result in prodedural dilemmas under
the provisions of Ordinance 19, most particularly section
I. D. which requires action within 30 days of an applicant's
presentation. We are planning to request all tabled appli-
cants to make their presentations at the 12..11..73 meeting
for the benefit of the anticipated economic study. However,
it is apparent that any well reasoned and complete analysis
cannot be returned within the 30 day period. Consequently,
we are requesting voluntary withdrawal without prejudice or
tabling of your project pending the outcome of the city sponsered
economic impact report.
Please advise us if you will be prepared to make your prep
sentation en December 11th and how you would like to pro-
ceed at that time.
Yours truly,

fijiv Ute. Village
I �
A mixed residential development consisting of townhouses , patio
houses, apartments and on site recreational facilities .
I. DEVELOPER: Alpine Land Company of Denver. Edwin W. Baker, Jr. ,
President. William D. Snare and Warren Sheridan,
Vice Presidents.
Past developments in Pitkin County were The Cotton-
woods at 1st and Hyman, consisting of eighteen
apartments , and The Interlude at Snowmass , consist-
ing of twenty-seven apartments .
II. THE PLAN
A. Low density development of a 7. 65-acre site bounded by a
high density development on the north, the Roaring Fork
River on the east, the Ute Cemetery on the south and Ute
Avenue on the west.
B. Total units = 77 or 10. 065 dwelling units per acre.
C. Unit mix: S
1) 43 Townhouses - 26 - 2 BR 4 L 2-

2) Multi-family residential 110, 284 sq. ft*= 2 . 53 Ac. =
3) Roads and parking 45 ,675 sq. ft.= 1.04 Ac. = 13. 6%
4) Open space** 162 ,755 sq. ft.= 3 . 75 Ac. = 48. 9%
7. 65 Ac. =100 . %
*Private patios included in building coverage .
**Includes pool deck, two tennis courts , sidewalks , public
dedications and commons .
III. OBJECTIVES OF THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT
A. While most recent zoning would have allowed twenty-nine
units per acre, such as the project to the west, we are
proposing 10. 065 units per acre in a mix of attached
single family dwellings and apartments for long term occu-
pants designed to be consistent with the intent of Aspen
Ordinance No. 19.
B. All units are available for purchase by residents of Aspen,
with a covenant attached to the eighteen apartments that
they may not be offered for rent for a period of less than
one year. Sales contracts will include a paragraph that
the seller will have no program established or planned to
offer rental service or a rental pool of any kind to pur-
chasers or owners of any unit. Further, the owners asso-
ciation will be prohibited from engaging in rental or
leasing activities by the provisions of the by-laws .
The purchasers will acknowledge that neither the seller
nor its agents have represented or offered the units as
an investment, opportunity for appreciation of value or
as a means of receiving income from rentals .
C. Consistent with Ordinance No. 19 and other Aspen City
ordinances :
1) No one' s view of Independence Pass nor any other scenic
area will be blocked.
2) Open space as shown on the plan will be preserved by
the use of covenants .
3) Twenty-two per cent of the development is devoted to
lower cost permanent housing.
4) A greenway of more than 200 feet is provided between
the development and the river as proposed in the Roar-
ing Fork Greenway Plan.
5) The development is consistent with other residential
uses.
- 2 -
•
4.
' 6) A dedicated public walkway is included in the greenway
along the river.
7) The need for single family housing is fulfilled by
developing patio and townhouses in a residential sub-
division under a Planned Unit Development. Presently
single family sites in Aspen are not available at less
than $35 ,000 per site, putting them far out of reach
of most residents . Two apartment units will be owned
in common and maintained for use by resident employees
of the project while sixteen others are available for
purchase by other permanent residents.
8) The development is within easy walking distance of
town and its facilities, obviating the need for auto-
mobile use.
9) Ute Avenue affords adequate ingress and egress .
10) The site is served with all utilities with adequate
capacities to meet its needs .
11) The development is designed to satisfy the review re-
quirements of Ordinance No. 19 by subdivision and PUD
submittals .
