In the fall of 1996 the Recreation Department in cooperation with the Aspen/Snowmass Arts Council began work on a Site Plan for the Red Brick Arts & Recreation Center. The objective of this process was to involve all tenants and surrounding neighbors in an effort to ultimately create a vision for what the Site should reflect in the future. Attached is the product of such an effort. The adoption of this document does not require official council approval since the proposed improvements are consistent with the existing land use as filed with the Community Development Department. The Community Development Director has reviewed this document and is willing to grant an Insubstantial Amendment to the PUD. This document is being provided to council for your individual review. If you have comments or concerns about the Site Plan please advise staff so that we may follow up with you. BACKGROUND: The Red Brick was purchased from the Aspen School District and renovated in 1993/94. The creation of a non profit center in the heart of Aspen by way of a facility that had long established itself as a sp6ke in the wheel of this community, is an issue that you will be hard pressed to find any opponents these days. Many local not for profits, thanks to this community facility, have been able to maintain their base of operations here in the Aspen Community. The Recreation Department has been able to add many youth and adult programs that cater to community desires thanks to the Red Brick Gymnasium. CURRENT ISSUES: Although the Red Brick Arts and Recreation Center has done well in serving the local non profits, the Center's ability to fit into Aspen's West End Community needs work. With the Center's location such that it adjoins access to the Post Office, the Rio Grande Trail, Clark's Center, and the West End Walk Experience, it is essential that the Red Brick plays an important role as an ambassador to guests of the community as well as host to the locals that travel these routes. As you will read in the document, many of the issues that have been addressed deal not only with the function of the facility, but how its appearance fits into our serene mountain setting as well. This plan allows the building to reflect what Aspen once was, what Aspen is today, and set a direction for tomorrow. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: At the present time there are no funding requirements. As you can see in the back of the document, estimated costs associated with various aspects of the plan have been calculated so we know what issues may be tackled as fielding becomes available. There is $39,092 remaining in the Red Brick construction fund from the sale of the bonds in 499' ). Staff will come back to council at a later date to pursue funding for the implementation of this plan. RECOMMENDATION: Staff is recommending that Council accept the Red Brick Arts and Recreation Center Master Plan Summary as presented. MANAGER'S COMMENTS: MEMORANDUM TO: Tim Anderson, Recreation Director FROM: Jeff Woods, Parks Director DATE: September 15, 1997 RE: Red Brick Arts and Recreation Center Master Plan The Park's Department strongly endorses the overall direction of the Master Plan for the Red Brick Arts and Recreation Center. The enhancement of the landscape and strengthening of access routes fit well within the Park's Department mission of reinforcing the neighborhood character of the West End. However, a couple of minor elements are of concern. The first issue is the paver design with grass growing in the joints. The grass will pose a problem for snow removal in the winter. The second issue is lining the trail with cottonwoods. This needs to be carefully looked at again in regards these trees being located far enough off the path to accommodate snow removal. In closing the Park's Department should be involved in any elements of the Master Plan which are in the Street Right of Way or elements which our department may be called upon to maintain. In addition there several elements which we may be able to implement. These include street trees, sidewalk improvements, and irrigation to support plantings along the street or pathways in the project area. Memorandum TO: Tim Anderson, Recreation Director FROM: Nick Adeh, City Enginee DATE: October 7, 1997 SUBJECT: Red Brick School Site Improvements Project I have reviewed the proposed intersection improvements at Hallam and Garmisch Streets. The intersection neckdown proposal as submitted under a conceptual plan is well justified for this pedestrian corridor and in order to function as intended it must meet the following criteria: 1. Minimum curb return radius must be 25 feet. 2. As shown on your sketch, handicap ramps must be directional (no diagonal ramp construction will be allowed). Ramps must be designed and built according to the Engineering Department's standards and practices. 3. Intersection drainage patterns must be evaluated and improved if necessary, to avoid ponding or icing in front of the handicap ramps. 4. Cross walks must be clearly striped and marked including vehicle stopping bars (asphalt overlay and thermoplastic tape is the preferred application). 5. A traffic control plan and signage must be submitted to City Engineer for review and approval. This includes all Early Warning Signs and Flashers and Regulatory Signs related to the posting and enforcement of the pedestrian cross walk regulations. The complete design plan and type of devices and signs must be in accordance with MUTCD. Tim, I also noticed some work items were substanially underestimated by your consultant, and the project costs will be higher than the estimated propbable cost of construction. In addition to construction costs, there will be field engineering work, matreials testing, reporting and preparation of as -built plans. I will be happy to help you as much as my time allows and within the resources made available to us under this project. Please stop by or call me if you have any questions. My extension is 7476.

Community Need - This courtyard expansion will provide great interaction between artists, arts organizations and the community on an informal basis, "Lunch with the Arts ". Artists will share their creativity and education opportunities will encourage community interaction. Lunch will provide another connection for this unique atmosphere. David Laughren from the Aspen Underground, and Scott Wirkler from In & Out and other restaurants are interested in serving lunch —"Lunch with the Arts ". The location of the Red Brick is most accessible for community usage. The Arts Council receives numerous requests to use the community room. The Courtyard will allow more community usage of the Red Brick. c. Other Organizations - In a survey to our member organizations (31 to date), all requested programming opportunities which include, receptions, demonstrations, children's shows, TV broadcasts, summer arts camps, etc. Member organizations will host "This Week in the Arts ", a preview or behind the scenes look at their unique programming. Grassroots TV will utilize the courtyard for taping. The Arts Council hosts "Aspen/Snowmass Arts Scene ", and these programs will be taped in the courtyard to take advantage of the beautiful mountain scenery. A variety of receptions, artists' demonstrations, children's exhibitions, etc. would be planned. A nominal fee (to cover ly provide expenses) would be charged for usag�ntin allow ued development lof the Red Brick tables, chairs, sound system, etc. for Courtyard. d.

This expansion is recognized as a part of the Red Brick Master Site Plan and at the request of the neighbors to clean up and define that end of the facility. Additional drawings are being prepared which will reflect landscaping, pedestrian traffic flow, and parking to this portion of the building. At this time I am seeking direction as to whether this addition would be considered an insubstantial amendment to the facility use or a substantial amendment. I would assume that this makes a difference in whether this plan needs to be reviewed by P &Z or not? The plan will definitely be shown to City Council for input, but I don't want to proceed without knowing whether or not to go before P &Z. Please advise as to how you would like to handle the approvals of these improvements to the Red Brick.
