RE:
Pitkin County Airport ESID Scenic Overlay, Special Review, GMQS

DATE:
July 5, 2001
The City Planning Staff reviewed the Pitkin County Airport application and
had the following concerns:
1. Staff applauds the County's efforts in planning this project without
decreasing the number of parking spaces allotted for airport
patrons or the number of spaces in the intercept lot.
2. Staff is in support of the proposed enhancement of the landscaping
on the northeast side of the airport adjacent to Highway 82, The
more that the facility can be screened from Highway 82 the more
aesthetically pleasing it will be, However, the City Staff does not
feel that spruce trees are a good choice for plantings in and around
the parking lot area because of their dense nature and ability to
overgrow, Tall shrubs maybe an alternative for screening.
3. Staff recommends that the new parking lot lighting be downcast
and that the light source be fully shielded,
4. Staff recommends that the new control tower be designed and
constructed in a manner that does not cause glare into the eyes of
drivers on Highway 82 (i.e, utilize non-reflective materials),

1- INTRODUCTIONIREQVESTED APPROVALS
The purpose of this application is to seek approval for several improvements to the Aspen Pitkin County
Airport consistent with the approved 1998 Aspen-Pitkin County Airport Airport Layout Plan Update,
The specific improvements requested in this application are listed below. These improvements are also
described in detail in the Project Description Portion of this dOcument and are illustrated on the
Development Plan (Figure 7).
1) Relocate the parallel taxiway system and remove abandoned pavement and install taxiway
lights along parallel Taxiway A and runway end identifier lights (RE1L's) at the south end
of Runway 15/33;
2) Expansion of GA aircraft parking into the area currently used for long-term and employee
parking; ,
3) Redesign and reconstruction of the parking and circulation facilities in front of the Main
Terminal to accommodate 107 ofthe 149 relocated long-term parking spaces and
improvements to the commercial vehicle circulation loop. This improvement also requires
Aspen/Pitkin COllnty Airport - ES1D 1
Master Plan Amendment, GMQS Exemption, Scenic Overlay & Special Review Application
other changes to the roads in front of the Main Terminal to accommodate improvements to
circulation. Further, the 93 employee parking spaces along with the 42 remaining long-
term parking spaces displaced by the GA aircraft-parking apron will be relocated to the
north end of the Intercept Lot. The Intercept Lot will be modified, including realignment
of the access road, to accommodate this use;
4) Removal of North FBO hangar and relocation of uses within this structure to the existing
ARFF/SRE bnilding;
5) Construction of new ARFF/SRE facility on the west side of the runway;
6) Construction of a new Deice Apron and glycol collection system immediately west of the
existing Rental Car Storage Lot. The Deice Apron will include taxiway lighting around the
perimeter;
7) Reconfiguration ofthe Rental Car Storage Lot to replace square footage displaced by the
Deice Apron and glycol system;
8) Relocation of the Air Traffic Control Tower (ATCT);
9) Landscape screening associated with the redesign of the Main Terminal parking and
circnlation system, rental car storage lot/deice apron and GA aircraft parking expansion;
Items 5 and 8 are the only buildings proposed under the ESlD project. However, final approval is not
being requested for these facilities at this time, The design of these structures is not far enough along to
provide the level of detail with respect to building mass or the exterior appearance necessary to allow
review under the Scenic Foreground Overlay review. We would like to pursue the other necessary
approvals for these structures as part of this review.
Two of these improvements were not specifically included in the 1998 Airport Layout Plan, These are
the Deicing Pad and the use of the Intercept Lot to accommodate displaced long-tenn and employee
parking, The 1998 ALP recommended that the employee and long-tenn parking be accommodated in a
new parking lot to be constructed to the south of the Intercept Lot. This idea has not been pursued due to
visual impacts, distance to the tenninal building and the availability of the Intercept Lot due to its having
been decommissioned for commuter use. The Deice Apron was also not discussed during the review of
the 1998 ALP. The reason for this is that the impacts of relocating the general aviation aircraft parking
were not fully understood, It is important to note that this project results in no increase in aircraft or
vehicle parking at the Airport, and that the improvements are being made to carry out the
recommendations of the 1998 ALP based on the new, more stringent FAA standards with respect to
safety.
A preapplication conference was held with County Planning Staff on November 10, 1999, and the
summary fonn is included as Exhibit D, In this application, we will demonstrate compliance with the
applicable provisions of the Pitkin County Land Use Code as requested in the preapplication fonn,
The fOllOWing approvals are required to allow the proposed improvements:
· Major Amendment to a Master Plan (Section 3-240);
. Special Review (Section 3-210);
. GMQS Exemption for Essential Community Facilities for proposed ARFF facility (Section
3-150-140);
· Scenic Overlay Review (Section 3-60-040);

· Lot Line Adjustment to adjust the configuration of Lot 1 and Lot 2 of the FBO lease area
(Section 3-190-030).
11- BACKGRODND/PROJECT RATIONALE
The rationale for the scope and timing of the ESID project has grown from several factors some of which
are mandated by the Federal Aviation Association while others have to do with local land use policies
and past approvals, These factors, which are discussed below, fall into four categoies as follows; I)
Funding Issues and Opportunities, 2) Health Safety and Welfare Policies, 3) Past Local Land Use
Approvals, and 4) Compliance with FAA Standards and Criteria,
Funding Issues And Opportunities
The Pitkin County Airport has undergone significant pre-planning efforts in recent years toward meeting
FAA safety criteria, As described above, these criteria primarily pertain to aircraft operations and
parking within the Runway Object Free Area (ROF A),
The 1998 ALP update was the first important step necessary to design modifications to meet these
criteria, Based Upon the completion of that effort, the FAA has indicated its willingness to assist by
funding a 90% share of the capitol airside improvements outlined in that plan. Moreover, the FAA is
also prepared to assist the County by funding a substantial share of those landside changes that are a
direct result of the airside taxiway and aircraft apron parking modifications, Given the safety concerns
presented by the present non-compliant setback condition, the FAA is anticipating funding approximately
$37 million over the next seven years,
While the overall airside changes are designed to be completed in phases over a 6-7 year period, each
phase is contingent upon the project as a whole, Therefore, the FAA has required Pitkin County to
design the full Scope of the ESID project. They have indicated that before any of the ESID funds are
released, local approvals for the entire project must be secured,
Based on these criteria, the Airport has decided to submit those airside improvements related to the ALP
update in the form ofESID, In addition, landside changes precipitated by the airside improvements are
also included in this application, For example, the long-term and employee automobile parking lots are
required to be relocated in order to create replacement aircraft parking outside the ROF A. This domino
effect prompted the design team to examine the parking and automobile circulation on the east side of the
airport as a part of this project.
Pitkin County is fortunate to have the support and financial commitment of the FAA in such significant
amounts to create a compliant airs ide design, While it may have been preferable to revisit the entire
airport Master Plan prior to ESID, the first phase of ESID is due to be funded in 2002. Any delay on the
part of the airport could affect this funding, and future funding cycles, Thus, it is imperative that the
airport Sponsor moves diligently toward project approval and implementation,

Health Safety And Welfare
The Pitkin County Land Use Code addresses development of public facilities in considerable detail,
including section 3-100, Areas Around Key Facilities. One of the key themes of this section is to create
safe facilities that minimize danger to the public. The airport is defined as a "Key Facility" in this
section,
This application has a single intent, to create safety improvements, Land use at and around the airport
must be regulated with the focus to minimize any known or potential danger to the flying public, as
called for in Section 3-100-020, Code Section, 3.100-030, more specifically addresses development
standards for areas around the airport, This section was authored some years ago, and utilizes definitions
and standards of a prior series of FAA standards. The areas known as the Runway Object Free Area,
Runway Protection Zone and Runway Safety Area now compliment, and mostly supercede, references
remaining in the Code. Nonetheless, the intent of the Land Use Code is clearly to "avoid danger to
public health and safety," This application and its fundamental purpose are designed to comply with
federally mandated safety standards, and the Pitkin County Code.
Past Local Land Use Approvals
Pitkin County has a significant series of case files that document land use reviews and approvals for the
Pitkin County Airport. Short summaries of these approvals are documented in Exhibit E ofthis
application for reference, However, the 1992 approvals pertaining to General Aviation improvements
and the 1998 Airport Layout Plan stand out as key landmarks, Because of the broad nature of these
applications, and the foundation they provide to the development schemes at the airport, they are briefly
summarized below, accompanied by some discussion of their relationship to ESID,
Resolution 92-215:
Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) Resolution 92-215 authorized GMQS, Subdivision Exemption
and Special Review Approval (Partial Tabled) for the following key development:
. Demolition of 58,000 square feet ofFBO/GA facilities; and
. Reconstruction/replacement, reconfignration and relocation of approximately 41,900 square feet in
FBO/GA facilities and the reservation of GMQS Exemptions for an additional 20,940 square feet of
future potential facilities (18,900 square feet toward a second FBO and 2,040 square feet toward a
rental car service facility),
GMOS Exemotion: Resolution 92-215 outlines, in great detail, the amount of square footage exempted
for a major redevelopment of general aviation airport facilities then under discussion. Because of FAA
obligations, the County was also forced to concurrently address capacity for a second general aviation
facility to provide a future potential competitive opportunity. Thus, GMQS exemptions were reserved
for a second Fixed Based Operator (FBO). That development would not be considered approved under
the 1992 review, except as to certain square footage reservations toward GMQS,
· Subdivision Exemotion: Created Lots I and 2 of the Airport FBO/GA Area Plat, conditioned on
lease by County to an FBO in excess of 19 years.
Aspen/Pitkin County Airport - ESlD 5
Master Plan Amendment, GMQS Exemption, Scenic Overlay & Special Review Application
· Remainin!! Review: In a very unique manner, this Resolution called for further special review
immediately following FBO procurement. In their land use application (pages 25-26) the Airport
proposed, and the BOCC approved, a deferred review for scenic foreground, further GMP allotments
(if desired by a future FBO) and special review for a second FBO and car wash facility, The
Resolution permitted this deferral process, but stated that if future applications deviated substantially
from this application, all issues and conditions could be revisited.
Resolution 92-215 includes approximately ten conditions (plus sub-conditions). The document should be
referenced in its entirety for those wishing to completely understand its implications; however, in
summary, the following key issues were addressed:
. Affordable Housinll Mitillation reauirements: No immediate mitigl\tion was required. One year after
commencement of operations of the first FBO, an audit of employees was required. If more than 47
FTE's were discovered upon audit, immediate mitigation of the additional employees was required.
Both FBO's would be required to mitigate employees at the time of commencement of operations by
a second FBO (13.45 by the first FBO and 6,95 by the second FBO).
· Further reviews of the followinll issues: Traffic construction impacts, site
drainage/erosion/landscaping, auto traffic circulation patterns, parking areas and driveways, water
service issues relating to the City of Aspen, sewer service extension issues, and a hazardous materials
and emergency response plan were all required to be further analyzed and addressed in a subsequent
Special Review application,
. No net increase in GA aircraft caoacitv: This resolution set forth clearly that no increase in GA
aircraft ramp, parking, tie down or storage (indoor or outdoor) was allowed; nor was there to be any
increase in commercial (GA) floor area over what existed at that time.
In preparation for the ESID application, research was completed to ensure that the airport was in
compliance with all past approvals granted at this facility. In particular, the above issues from 1992 were
examined, With respect to affordable housing, an audit of employees was completed in January 1999 by
a consultant on behalf of the Aspen/Pitkin County Housing Authority. The audit showed an annualized
average employment below the threshold of 47 FTE. Moreover, ABO elected to pre-pay some of it's
housing obligation that could be called due upon commencement of operations of a second FBO, That
payment was made in 1994 totaling approximately $99,000.
ESID includes a proposal to utilize approximately 5,000 square feet ofthe existing ARFF building for
ABO hangar area. This replacement would account for the final 5,000 square feet of development
anticipated in the 1992 and 1993 approvals. No additional employment generation over the review of the
FBO facilities in 1993 is expected.
Sewer extensions to the GA facilities were completed, as has landscaping and drainage improvements,
To the best of the Airport's knowledge, no outstanding conditions exist.
ESID includes an extensive redesign of the airside of the general aviation facilities. While GMQS
primarily focused on the buildings associated with the fixed based operators, the 1992 approval did
include the layout of the apron area and aircraft taxiing design, As noted above, the tie down capacity
was of some concern to the Board of County Commissioners, They sought to improve the layout of the
tarmac area, and divide it into two equal parts to comply with the two FBO standard set by the FAA.
Aspen/Pitkin COllnty Airport - ESID 6
Master Plan Amenclment, GMQS Exemption, Scenic Overlay & Special Review Application
However, to avoid a proliferation of general aviation traffic, no overall increase in aircraft parking area
was pennitted (Resolution 92-215, Condition A.6,).
The 1993 Lease, Use and Redevelopment Agreement between the County and Aspen Base Operations
was an out growth of the approvals granted via Resolution 92-215. This agreement stipulated that there
was to be a maximum of 274,000 square feet of aircraft parking on each of Lots 1 and 2 for a total of
548,000 square feet. ESID includes a significant reconfiguration of the Lot 1 portion of the general
aviation apron, including the expansion into the area currently occupied by the long-tenn and employee
parking lot. The north end of the general aviation apron is planned to be expanded in the future as well.
In fact, grading for this expansion was approved in 1998 (Resolution 99-79), Figure 10 shows the total
aircraft parking area as calculated for the proposed layout of the general aviation apron, including the
ESID improvements and the expansion of the north general aviation apron, The total area devoted to
aircraft parking is approximately 495,633 square feet, 52,367 square feet less than stipulated in the 1993 /
agreement. The parking apron expansion proposed under the ESID project extends Lot I to portions of
the airport not previously platted, but shown in the 1998 ALP Update. Therefore, a fonnal request to
adjust the lot lines for Lot I is submitted as a part of this request. The applicable criteria for considering
this request are reviewed later in this application,
It should be noted, that in the near future a Master Plan Update for the airport will begin. As part of that
more comprehensive project, the scoping of a second FBO and Lot 2 will be revisited, Thus, the minor
lot line amendment requested within ESID may be subject to future changes depending upon the outcome
of the Master Plan.
Compliance with FAA Standards and Criteria
In 1998, the airport completed an Airport Layout Plan Update, titled "Aspen/Pitkin County Airport
Layout Plan Update," This document is a version of a Master Plan, developed to meet FAA planning
criteria, The primary focus of this federally driven effort is to scope and design capitol improvements to
the property. The planning horizon for this plan was 1995.2015,
The primary objective of the ALP was to graphically depict the airport's existing facilities and those
required to meet FAA standards and the sponsor's requirements. The ALP then serves as an agreement
with the FAA as to how the airport will develop, Subsequent to the previous ALP effort (in 1989), the
FAA standards for the Aspen airport changed, The new requirements, known as the update of the FAA
Advisory Circular 150/5300.13, Airport Design, sought an 800' wide area centered on the runway, and
extending 1000' beyond each runway end, to be cleared of all objects not required for aeronautical
functions.
The FAA advised the airport that waivers from standards related to the Runway Object Free Area
(ROF A) and Safety Areas would not be granted without exhausting all feasible alternatives. The result
was the relocation of the taxiway and approximately 96 aircraft parking spaces that are within the ROF A.
The 1998 Plan called for the replacement of these spaces through several means, including the relocation
of the employee and long-tenn automobile parking spaces, and aircraft parking in froilt of the ARFF
building, To accomplish the latter, the ARFF functions were proposed to be relocated to the west side of
the airport,
Aspen/Pitkin County Airport - ESlD 7
Master Plan Amendment, GMQS Exemption, Scenic Overlay & Special Review Application
Chapter IV of the 1998 ALP Update discusses various modifications from FAA standards, where the
unique site constraints of the AspenlPitkin County Airport precluded full compliance. The ALP sought
to provide an acceptable level of safety even though certain criteria could not be fully met. For example,
even though the new ROF A setback of 400' from the runway creates substantial reconstruction efforts in
the form of ESID, the FAA agreed to allow the taxiway to lie 80' within the ROFA. This modification
was coupled with a limit on aircraft wingspans of 9S feet as a mitigation to ensure that safety was
adequately addressed, The County adopted an Ordinance enacting this wingspan restriction; however, if
regular operations occur by larger aircraft, the FAA could rescind the modification and the airport would
be required to meet the tougher standard separation setbacks,
ESID and the 1998 ALP Update has laid the foundation for improving safety in compliance with federal
mandates. While the resulting development required to meet these FAA standards are admittedly
significant, they have been shown to be the minimum necessary to achieve acceptable levels of safety and
economy, Had the County been required to fully comply with each of the standards set forth in the FAA
Advisory Circular, the resulting impacts would have been considerably more difficult and impactive to
achieve,
The ALP Update also addressed facility needs, projected future enplanements, and projected capitol
improvements, Some of these improvements are more fully addressed in this application, such as taxiway
lighting and runway end identifier lights (REIL). These safety requirements are consistent with the 1998
ALP Update, and are mandated by the FAA, The reviews of most of the landside facilities, such as the
terminal, have not been addressed in ESID. These facilities are believed to require in-depth analysis and
examination of alternatives. This will be accomplished in the Master Plan Update beginning later this
year.
Ultimately, the 1998 ALP Update resulted in a three-phased Capitol Improvement Plan (CIP) (see
Resolution 98-67 and CIP Phasing Plans, Exhibit F). Since the foundation of the plan was to address and
comply with FAA design standards, its contents were deemed insufficient for full land use approval in
the County. Instead, the Resolution of approval, 98-67, approved only certain carwash facilities, which
did contain sufficient detail to ensure compliance with the County Code, The remaining elements of the
CIP were approved in concept, but required "further review." This application seeks the further review
approval for many, but not all, of the remaining components of the CIP,
The IS-year CIP program did call for a number of improvements that have been completed, or are slated
for construction in 2001. Specifically, the Rental Car Facility was completed in 1999, in conjunction
with rough grading for the North Apron. The grading was consistent with future aircraft parking called
for in the 1998 ALP Update, and received further approval in Resolutions 99-79 and 043-2000. This
phased reconstruction of the north end of the airport allowed most locally based airplanes to be parked
onsite while apron reconstruction was underway. In late 2000, the County submitted an application for
the placement of patio shelters on the new north apron to protect locally based aircraft from the harsh
elements of our mountainous climate. This long anticipated improvement was developed after years of
alternatives analysis, and complied with the 1998 ALP Update,
Summary of Airport Layout Plan Discussion
The Airport operates as both a locally owned and operated facility, as well as a federally regulated
facility. The County has, from time to time, found itself constrained by FAA mandates. The 1992
Aspen/Pitkin COllnty Airport - ES1D 8
Master Plan Amendment, GMQS Exemption, Scenic Overlay & Special Review Application
general aviation approvals are one of many examples where the County was forced to design
development to meet both local needs, while maintaining general compliance with federal mandates for
competitive opportunities. Clearly, without a federal mandate, a second future FBO would not have been
accommodated, Nonetheless, preventing an expansion of aircraft tie down and hangar capacity has been
within County control. The limitation on apron area has been maintained as a policy direction of the
BOCC for more than a decade as an expression of its desire to limit certain activity at the airport within
community established acceptable levels.
The 1998 ALP Update was again a federally driven planning effort, Although it comprehensively
examined airside and lands ide facilities, its primary focus was clearly FAA airside compliance concerns,
As the mix of larger and faster general aviation aircraft grew at the Airport, the standards for safety
setbacks also increased, The 1998 design addressed modifications with respect to taxiway relocations
and aircraft parking, to the extent possible. The 1998 plan also maintained a status quo capacity for
general aviation parking, but only with certain relocations on the landside of the facility, ESID's design
complies with the airside changes approved in concept in 1998,
Automobile parking changes called out in 1998 have been reexamined in greater detail as a part ofESID,
The landside parking and circulation is somewhat different in ESID than described in 1998; however, the
result is fewer land disturbances and a more compact development scheme at the site. Whereas the 1998
ALP update called for the creation of new parking lots south of the intercept lot to replace the long-term
and employee lots, ESID is able to redevelop the existing short- term and rental car ready lots
immediately in front of the terminal to accommodate most of the long term spaces. The intercept lot,
which is no longer in use, is shown to host the remaining long-term spaces and the employee spaces,
With the ability to reuse this underutilized lot, disturbance to native sage brush (in a highly visible bowl)
has been avoided, While this southern bowl may need to be developed at some future time, preservation
of this open area is a benefit to the community and provides improved convenience to airport customers.
III - AIRPORT DESCRIPTION & CuRRENT EXISTING CONDITIONS
The Aspen/Pitkin County Airport is located approximately three miles northwest of the City of Aspen,
just west of State Highway 82 in Unincorporated Pitkin County, The airport encompasses approximately
572 acres in the Roaring Fork Valley at an elevation of7,815 feet. The National Plan ofIntegrated
Airport Systems defines Aspen/Pitkin County Airport as a Primary Commercial Services Airport, (the
airport enplanes at least 10,000 people annually and receives scheduled airline service), The airport is
owned and operated by Pitkin County, which is the applicant for this land use application. The Board of
County Commissioners (BOCC) oversees major facility decisions and approves funding for major capital
improvement projects. A full time manager oversees the day-to.day operations, performs strategic
planning, and coordinates all development activities associated with the airport,
On-Airport Business Operators
There are a variety of public and private employers operating at the airport, As a public entity, Pitkin County
operates the airport with its employees being responsible for the maintenance and upkeep of the airport
property, County employees also operate the Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting service and conduct all other
general management duties. The other major public entity at the airport is the Federal Aviation
Aspen/Pitkin County Airport - ESlD 9
Master Plan Amendment, GMQS Exemption, Scenic Overlay & Special Review Application
Administration, which operates the Air Traffic Control Tower and Radar Control facilities,
Private commercial businesses at the airport include the Fixed Base Operator (FBO). The major functions of
the FBO include the provision of aircraft storage facilities, aircraft maintenance, aircraft charter, and fuel
sales, along with other services required by general aviation aircraft operators. At Pitkin County Airport, the
FBO is Aspen Base Operations (ABa).
Other private commercial businesses operated at the airport include: airlines, rental cars companies, an
automobile parking contractor, food service providers, a security contractor, aircraft charter companies, and
taxi/limousine service providers, among others,
Facilities Description
The existing facilities at the airport consist of airside use areas (areas used for the movement of aircraft) and
lands ide use areas (areas used for aircraft parking/storage, passenger terminal facilities, landside
access/automobile parking, etc,) The following narrative provides a description of the airport's existing
facilities, along with the land use layout of the existing airport property. The layout of existing facilities at
the airport is also graphically depicted in the following illustration, entitled EXISTING CONDITIONS AND
APPROVED PROJECTS (Figure 2),
As shown on Figure 2, the existing land use layout for the airport property is not complex. The property is an
irregular shape but is generally a rectangle with the runway in the center. Surrounding the runway is another
smaller rectangle, designated as the Runway Object Free Area (ROF A), By FAA specifications, the ROF A
should be clear of all non-essential objects, Parked aircraft are also excluded from the ROF A; although,
under existing conditions some aircraft parking does exist within the ROFA (this will be corrected with the
proposed ESID improvements). The majority of the airport's aViation use facilities are located on the east
side of the runway,
Off the ends of the runway, there are trapezoidal areas that are designated as Runway Protection Zones. The
height of natural and man-made objects is strictly controlled within the Runway Protection Zone areas,
Residential land uses and places of public gathering are prohibited within Runway Protection Zones.
On the west side of the runway, existing airport property is primarily undeveloped or in agricultural use, The
west side of the airport does contain a group of agricultural-use structures, including one residence,
Airside Facilities
The Aspen/Pitkin County Airport is operated with one runway, along with parallel and connecting taxiways
that serve the runway providing aircraft access to the passenger terminal and other aviation-use facilities on
the airport,
Runway: The runway at the airport has a designation of 15/33, It is 7,005 feet in length and 100 feet in
width, The runway, along with the associated safety area and object free area setbacks, have been designed
to accommodate commercial passenger and general aviation aircraft with weights up to 100,000 pounds for
aircraft with dual-wheel main landing gear and 160,000 pounds for aircraft with dual-tandem-wheel main
landing gear, The airport is also restricted to aircraft with wingspans not greater than 95 feet in width (this
includes almost all of the business jet aircraft fleet, along with commercial passenger aircraft as large as the

BAe 146-300, but excludes aircraft such as the newest generation of the Boeing 737), The runway is
equipped with a medium intensity edge lighting system, along with approach path indicator lights on both
runway ends and runway end identifier lights (REILs) on the north end of the runway.
Taxiway: In addition to the runway, the airside facilities at Aspen-Pitkin County Airport also consist of
taxiways that provide access between the runway surfaces and the landside aviation use areas, Taxiway A
and its connectors provide the partial parallel taxiway system on the east side of the runway and connect the
runway with the terminal apron area and general aviation use areas. The centerline-to-centerline separation
distance between Runway 15/33 and Taxiway A is currently 22 I feet, which does not meet FAA standards.
In addition, there are seven exit taxiways that provide links between the runway and the parallel taxiway,
Landside Facilities
Landside development at the airport includes commercial passenger terminal facilities, aircraft parking
aprons, a Fixed Base Operator (FBO) hangars, general aviation facilities, fuel storage facilities, and access
roadways.
Aircraft Parking Aprons: As identified in the 1998 Airport Layout Plan Update, the airport's aircraft
parking and associated aircraft movement area is located on the east side of the Runway, The southern
portion of the apron area is used for commercial passenger aircraft, while the northern portion is used to
accommodate general aviation parking and circulation demands, The general aviation aircraft parking and
circulation area is divided in two lots (Lot I and Lot 2). Each of these lots is approved for a total of274,000
square feet of aircraft parking (not including internal taxiway lanes).
Passenger Terminal Facilities: The passenger terminal facility is located near the southern end of the
aircraft-parking apron, The terminal building has approximately 38,000 square feet of floor area and
includes areas for airline ticket counters, baggage handling areas, passenger waiting areas, rental car
counters, a gift shop, a restaurantfbar, and other passenger use facilities. Airport Administration Offices are
also located in this facility, adjacent to the general waiting area. Additionally, there is a separate departure
lounge for secure passengers,
Automobile Parking: There are several automobile parking areas on Airport property. A 93-space employee
parking area along with a 149-space long-term passenger parking area is located north of the passenger
terminal building. East of the terminal building there an 88-space short-term parking lot and a 59-space
rental car ready lot. South of the terminal there is a non-airport 280-space regional commuter intercept lot.
In addition, the rental car maintenance/storage facility south of the terminal can accommodate as many 500
automobiles. There are also existing parking facilities for the ARFF /SRE and Aspen Base Operations main
terminal facilities. These parking lots are located adjacent to these structures, There is also a parking lot
established for private pilots, located east of the control tower, outside of the security fence.
General Aviation Structures: The Fixed Based Operator (FBO) on the airport is Aspen Base Operation
(ABO), located on airport property, north of the terminal building. ABO occupies four buildings north of the
passenger terminal. These include three hangar structures and one general aviation terminal bUilding.
Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting (ARFF) Facility/Snow Removal Equipment (SRE) Building: The
ARFF/SRE facility is located south of the FBO Terminal and north of the Air Carrier Terminal Building.
Aspen/Pitkin Covnty Airport - ES1D 12

Air Traffic Control Tower (ATCT) and Radar Control Facility: The A TCT and Radar Control Facility
bUilding is located on the north side of the large FBO hangar. The ATCT operates fifteen hours per day,
seven days a week, from 7:00 a,m. to 10:00 p.m, The airport is closed to all traffic while the A TCT is
not operational, 10:00 p.m, to 7:00 a.m,
Site Development Considerations
Because of landside access considerations, highway setbacks, existing vegetation, surrounding land uses,
terrain considerations, the need to preserve scenic views and the need to obscure those views considered "not
scenic", it was deemed important to prepare a site analysis as an initial part of the ESID project
documentation, The following illustration, entitled SITE ANALYSIS (Figure 3) provides a graphic depiction
of many of the "site related" issues that helped to frame the ESID development recommendations,
IV - PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Introduction
Although ESID is a complex project consisting of several elements, the impetus driving the need for the
ESID improvements is straightforward. The recommended ESID projects all relate to meeting current
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Design Standards involving the removal of obstructions (i.e"
parked aircraft) from the Runway Object Free Area (ROFA) and the relocation of the Parallel Taxiway
System. The ROF A, along with the parallel taxiway relocation project, is identified in the fOlloWing
illustration, entitled ESlD 'S BASIS FOR PROPOSED REVISIONS TO LA YOUT OF F ACILlTES (Figure
4), The goal with ESID's proposed improvements is to achieve FAA standards to the greatest degree
possible and to maintain the current quantity and quality of the airport's landside and airside facilities.
The planned improvements are consistent with the approved master plan documents, as illustrated in the
most recent Airport Layout Plan Update, dated December 1998, by Isbill Division, Raytheon
Infrastructure, Inc, Please refer to the following illustration, AIRPORT LAYOUT PLAN (Figure 5),
Because Aspen/Pitkin County Airport OCcupies a relatively small parcel of property and because the east
side of the airport is nearly fully developed, the result of the relocation of the parallel taxiway and the
exclusion of parked aircraft from within the ROF A is to severely limit the area in which aircraft can be
parked, This situation also necessitates the removal of one aviation-use structure (the northern-most
FBO hangar), and the relocation of the Air Traffic Control Tower cab (from the west side of the Radar
Control building to the east side of the Radar Control bUilding). To compensate for the loss of aviation-
use facilities and to accommodate these facility changes, the ESID project provides a package of
recommended improvements. These improvements are described below and are also depicted on the
LAND USE PLAN (Figure 6) and DEVELOPMENT PLAN (Figure 7),
Aspen/Pitkin County Airport - ES1D 13
Master Plan Amendment, GMQS Exemption, Scenic Overlay & Special Review Application
Description of Recommended Improvements
1. Relocation of the parallel taxiway system and removal of abandoned pavement. This
improvement is being made to accommodate FAA safety standards, The airport has functioned
for many years with a runway/taxiway separation distance that falls short of the desired criteria
for an airport that services aircraft in Approach Category D and in Airplane Design Group
(ADG) ill. This category includes the typical business jet aircraft operating in and out of the
Aspen Airport. The current runway/taxiway separation is 221 feet. The desired separation for
full compliance with the FAA standard for ADG III aircraft is 400 feet. Due to the limited space
available, the cost implications of achieving this standard at the Aspen Airport are
insurmountable, As a result, the County and FAA commissioned a study to find a means for the
Aspen-Pitkin County Airport to maintain commercial service certification while achieving an
acceptable standard of safety, meeting FAA approval. The outcome of this study was the
adoption of the 1998 Airport Layout Plan Update. FAA certification is critical to the Airport's
ability to offer commercial jet service and to obtaining funding for maintenance and safety
improvements, Through the 1998 ALP process a compromise was reached in which the FAA
allowed a reduced runway/taxiway separation standard with the stipulation that no aircraft with a
wingspan great than 95 feet (ADG ill aircraft category allows I 18-foot wingspan) would be
allowed at the Airport. This compromise agreement allowed the runway/taxiway separation to
be reduced from 400 feet to 320 feet. The taxiway relocation proposed under ESID meets the
320-foot separation standard.
As part of this project, taxiway edge lighting will be installed as mandated by the FAA, These
are low level blue lights located 10 feet off the edge of the taxiway pavement. The fixtures are
roughly 20 to 30 inches tall with spacing no greater than 200 feet between fixtures. Spacing is
reduced in radius locations.
2. Expansion of the general aviation apron into the area presently occupied by the long-term
passenger/employee parking lot to allow the relocation of aircraft parking that currently
utilizes pavement located inside the ROFA. This will result in the need to replace
approximately 149 long-term passenger parking spaces and approximately 93 employee parking
spaces, This improvement is illustrated on the CONCEPTUAL LAYOUT FOR THE GA APRON
RELOCATION (Figure 8) and GA, APRON SECTIONS 1 AND 2 (Figure 9),
The illustration, entitled LOT LINE ADJUSTMENT/PROPOSED GENERAL AVIATION
AIRCRAFT PARKING PLAN (Figure 10), illustrates the aircraft-parking layout of the general
aviation lease areas. Historically (1992 General Aviation Redevelopment Agreement), the FBO
lease areas (Lot 1 and Lot 2) have each been approved for a maximum of 274,000 square feet of
aircraft parking area (interior and exterior), The 1992 General Aviation Redevelopment
Agreement was reached before the Runway Object Free Area or the Highway Setback
requirements were established, The proposal for the revised parking plan provides approximately
269,000 square feet of aircraft parking area in Lot I and approximately 227,000 in Lot 2,
The proposed aircraft parking area south of the existing ARFF /SRE is to be utilized for parking
of itinerant general aviation aircraft, The interior taxilane associated with this area is sized (115
feet wide) to accommodate the majority of the business jet fleet (all but the new very large
business jets; i.e., the Gulfstream V and the Canadair Global Express), Because the very large
Aspen/Pitkin County Airport - ESlD 19
Master Plan Amendment, GMQS Exemption, Scenic Overlay & Special Review Application
business jets visit the airport relatively infrequently (less than 500 annual operations), they will
be parked in the area adjacent to Taxiway A or they will be towed to other parking positions, It
is also likely that aircraft parked along the east edge to the proposed aircraft parking area south
the ARFF /SRE will be towed in and out of position most of the time, Non-paved area has been
provided between the new aircraft parking area and the on-airport roadway system to allow for
the installation of screening benns and landscape plant material. The Gulfstream V is the aircraft
with the tallest tail that is likely to be parked along the eastern edge of the new apron is a, The
Gulfstream V's tail is 25,9 feet in height.
As stated in the Existing Conditions section of this document, Pitkin County has approved the
proposed Patio Hangar structures, along with associated aircraft parking/taxi lane pavement and a
small automobile parking area on Lot 2, These improvements will be constructed in the summer
of2001. In addition, another area for aviation development (type to be detennined in upcoming
Airport Master Plan Update) is proposed for the north end of Lot 2, All of the development on
Lot 2 is designed to accommodate small single- and twin-engine general aviation aircraft,
3. Demolition of the north FRO hangar and relocation of general aviation uses located within
this hangar to the existing ARFFISREfacility. Because of the close proximity of the north
FBO hanger to the ROF A, it must be removed, The general aviation uses currently
accommodated in the north FBO hangar will be relocated to the structure that is currently used as
the airport's Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting (ARFF) and Snow Removal Equipment (SRE)
facility.
The existing ARFF/SRE facility is approximately 7,430square feet in total area. Of this space,
approximately 5,380 square feet are vehicle bays and associated storage, 385 square feet is the
airport lighting electrical vault, 176 square feet is occupied by mechanical equipment or
janitorial space and the remaining 1,489 square feet is personnel space, The 385 square feet
occupied by the airport lighting vault will not change in use. Additionally, the entire north bay
of the vehicle areas, approximately 2,000 square feet, is occupied by a Fire District vehicle and a
piece of airport snow removal equipment, both of which will remain, A pro-rated share of the
mechanical room, 57 square feet, would also be considered existing public use, Based on these
facts there is a change in use of 4,988 square feet.
Offsetting this is the deletion of 5,000 square feet of approved commercial space (T-Hangars).
Thus, there is no net increase in commercial space associated with the change in use, The
current line department area is approximately 485 square feet but this space does not include any
locker rooms, mechanical rooms, janitorial space or toilet facilities in the existing ABO tenninal
since those functions are common with other occupants of the building. The 485 square feet of
existing line room space will be converted into a transient pilot's lounge area. This is a function
that has been desired for some time in the General Aviation Tenninal but there was no excess
space that could be utilized for this function,
4. Construct a new ARFF/SRE building on the west side of the Airport. The Airport is not
seeking final approval of the west side ARFF /SRE facility in this application, Rather, we wish to
obtain land use and growth management approval for this facility as part of ESID. Scenic
foreground approval will be sought once the design of the facility is more refined. This will be
included in the scoping for the Airport Master Plan Update, which will commence later this year,
Aspen/Pitkin County Airport - HID 23
Master Plan Amendment, GMQS Exempdon, Scenic Overlay & Special Review AppHcadon
The site for the new ARFF/SRE is on the west side of the airport, in line with Taxiway A-3. The
landside access to the new site will be from Owl Creek Road - the existing access will be moved
to the south to provide adequate sight line distances from the curve in the road as it heads
towards Snowmass,
The primary square footage will be devoted to a large vehicle bay area including 8 vehicle slots
of 925 square feet each, The dimensions of the vehicle bay will be approximately 80 feet wide
by 92,5 feet deep with an area of 7,400 square feet. This block of space would be on the north
side of the facility with the vehicle doors facing east and west. The personnel areas would be
located on the south side of this block and the lower level would include locker rooms, training
rooms, offices, storage, work rooms, etc, Based on preliminary estimates these areas would total
roughly 3,000 to 4,000 square feet. Above this space would be the command center, some break
room space and four 4 studio employee housing units of 500 square feet each. Without the
employee housing, the upper level space is estimated at 1,000 to 2,000 square feet. The building
footprint will be approximately 12,000 square feet and the total area is estimated at 14,000 to
15,000 square feet including the employee housing.
5. Reconstruct the circulation and parking facilities in front of the Main Terminal Relocation of
the Long-term /Employee parking lot which results from the expansion of the general aviation
aircraft parking area (see item 2 above) provides an opportunity to rethink the parking and
circulation facilities in front of the Main Terminal. The project team debated the question of
whether to recommend relocation of all of the displaced long.term and employee parking spaces
to the Intercept Lot and ultimately determined that this was not the best solution. The existing
Long-term/Employee parking lot is located 200 feet from the closest Main Terminal entrance.
The furthest Long-term passenger parking spaces within the existing lot are roughly 600 feet
from this same entrance (assuming the north half of the lot is employee parking). By
comparison, the closest parking spaces at the Intercept Lot are over 600 feet from the nearest
entrance to the Terminal, while the furthest spaces are more than I 100 feet away, In addition,
since the Intercept Lot was constructed for commuter parking, it was intentionally designed to
feel separate and apart from the Airport Terminal to prevent its use by long-term passengers,
Therefore, the Airport proposes that a portion of the Long-term spaces (107) be accommodated
by expanding the Short-term parking area on the east side of the Terminal building. The
following is a list of criteria considered in the redesign of the parking and circulation system in
front of the Main Terminal:
. Make the lot easy to find, create a simple and quick vehicular connection to and from public
drop-off loop;
· Provide a clear visual connection to welcome visitors to the terminal. Landscape to reinforce
connection of the parking lot to the terminal and enhance the feeling of security, no low
shrubs to block visibility;
· Design parking and circulation to improve the existing visual character of the airport
grounds, maintain important open space, improve visual character from Highway 82 and the
Airport Frontage Road, and enhance the sense of arrival to the airport;
· The existing short-term parking lot is underutilized and often has vacant parking spaces when
the long-term lot is full. The fee collection building needs to serve both long term and short
term parking efficiently, Currently, guests parked in the long-term lot have to walk over to
Aspen/Pitkin County Airport - ESID 24
Master Plan Amenclment, GMQS Exemption, Scenic Overlay & Special Review Application
the collection building to pay and then walk back to their cars in the neighboring lot.
Combine the short and long term parking in one lot with an hourly rate and daily rate
depending on a vehicles length of stay.
Figure II shows the resulting parking and circulation improvements. The existing Short-term
parking lot will be expanded to accommodate 107 of the 149 displaced long-term parking spaces
while retaining the existing 88 short-term spaces. The remaining 42 long-term passenger spaces
will be relocated to the north end of the Intercept Lot and will be priced at a lower rate reflecting
the greater inconvenience.
The proposed Long-tenn/Short-term parking lot has been designed to eliminate the inefficiencies
that exist in the current Short-term lot including wasted paved area, The existing short-term lot
is very inefficient with much of the paved area used for circulation to serve just a few parking
spaces, The proposed Long-term/Short-term lot will be modified by widening it by
approximately 20 feet (in the direction of the Terminal building) and extending it to the south
approximately 100 feet. This simple expansion increases the capacity of the lot from 88 to 195
spaces, Widening the lot to the west, toward the terminal, creates a better pedestrian connection
by eliminating the berm while maintaining the existing open space between the parking lot and
the Airport Frontage Road, The joint Long-tenn/Short-term lot has been designed with planting
islands to soften the appearance of the paved area and improve the appearance of the parking lot
as viewed from the Terminal entrances, Sidewalks have also been incorporated into the joint lot
to improve pedestrian connections and safety. The new Short-term/Long-term parking lot
entrance/exit has been designed to allow exiting vehicles the option of turning left to return to the
terminal or turning right to exit more directly to the frontage road. This eliminates unnecessary
vehicular traffic within the pedestrian elements of the public drop off loop,
To accommodate the expansion of the Short-term lot, the Rental Car Ready lot will be shifted
approximately 140 feet to the south. The number of spaces in the Rental Car Ready lot will
remain at 59, The new location of the Rental Car Ready Lot is shown on Figure I I and is more
closely associated with the other commercial vehicle functions. Four planting islands are
proposed within the lot to soften the amount of paving, A landscaped buffer of 15 to 20 feet will
be maintained between the east edge of the Rental Ready Lot and the Frontage Road. This buffer
strip will be heavily landscaped to screen this lot from the Frontage Road and Highway 82.
The County had planned to make minor improvement to the High Occupancy Vehicle area this
year to expand the staging area for taxis and shuttle vans. ESID provides an opportunity to make
more comprehensive improvements. These improvement are proposed with the hope that by
creating a more aesthetically pleasing loading/unloading zone and a more functional layout
guests will be encouraged to use high occupancy vehicles while visiting the Aspen area. The
proposed improvements are depicted on Figure II and on the Proposed Landscape Plan, The
proposed loop road widens the inside turning radius by about 50 feet to accommodate larger
people movers, 20-25 people busses, and improve the function and safety of vehicles staging
within the circle, A pedestrian spine is created down the center of the circle with planted
medians and sidewalks to provide better access to the waiting vehicles. While an existing small
berm is removed as part of this improvement, large landscaped islands are incorporated into the
loop road help soften the paved area and to create a buffer between the Terminal area and
Highway 82.

The proposed circulation and parking plan proposed under ESID functions with either the
existing Airport entrance or the located approved in response to the North 40 project. The
potential new location for the main Airport entrance/exit, approximately 200 feet north, improves
circulation and arrival to the airport. Under this scenario, visitors have a more direct route to the
public drop.offloop and Short/Long Term parking, If the main entrance is relocated the curb cut
and turn lanes at the former entrance/exit could be eliminated to increase the landscape buffer
between the frontage road and parking lot. Relocation of the main entrance to the north is the
preferred solution for the Airport.
6. Relocate the 93 employee parking spaces to the Intercept Lot. The employee parking lot will be
displaced by the expansion of the general aviation apron to allow aircraft parking to be moved
out of the ROFA. All of the 93 employee spaces will be relocated to the Intercept Lot beyond
the area reserved for long.term passenger use. Sidewalks and bollard lighting is proposed to
improve the pedestrian connections between the new Budget Long- Term/Employee lot and the
Terminal. Call boxes with emergency phones will be located along the sidewalk to provide
additional safety for guests and employees, Barriers will be installed in the Intercept Lot, as
shown on the Proposed Landscape Plan, to separate the area used for Airport parking from the
rest of the lot. The access road to the Intercept Lot will be modified to give priority to the long.
term and employee parking area over the Rental Car Storage lot.
7. Construct a new deicing pad and glycol collection system near the south end of the runway.
The area that is presently being used to apply deicing fluid to general aviation air~raft before
they takeoff from the airport, is inside of the ROF A and will be unavailable following the
relocation of the parallel taxiway. In addition, because of changes in federal requirements
regarding the types of deicing fluid used and the maximum length of time between application of
fluid and subsequent departure of the aircraft, the area presently used for deicing of commercial
passenger aircraft on the terminal apron may soon be non. functional for regulatory reasons,
Therefore, the ESID proposal is structured around the development of a new deicing apron,
adjacent to the southern end of the runway that can accommodate as many as two business jets
and three commercial passenger service aircraft. The location of the proposed Deicing Apron is
shown on the Development Plan (Figure 7), Figures 12, 13 and 14 provide greater detail with
respect to the layout of the Deicing Apron, Moving the deicing to this location provides a safer
environment for passengers, and it enhances the effectiveness of glycol application to departing
aircraft, since the aircraft can be treated immediately before departure.
Construction of the new Deicing Apron does not preclude the airport from continuing to utilize
the existing deice area, but it would certainly eliminate safety concerns, The existing 20,000-
gallon glycol storage tank could be removed and relocated as part of the constructi9n of the new
Deicing Apron or a new tank could be installed, The existing containment site can 'continue to be
utilized as a collection storage facility for apron runoff that is contaminated with fl1el or oil
residue, and any potential fuel spill. This would require that the oil/water separator, diversion
valve structure and glycol tank remain in place, It is recommended that the existing system
remain and be utilized for collection of fuel/oil residue that may accumulate on the apron areas.
The sponsor will need to decide whether to keep the glycol storage tank at it's present location, or
to relocate it to the new location, in which case the remainder of the existing systerrt could still be
utilized as discussed above
Aspen/Pitkin County Airport - ESID 27
Master Plan Amendment, GMQS Exemption, Scenic Overlay & Special Review Application
The proposed deicing apron will exhibit the following general operational characteristics:
a. As with the current aircraft deicing area on the passenger terminal apron, the new
deicing apron will have its own storm drain system that is separate from other drainage
collection systems serving the airport. This isolated system will only catch drainage
from the deicing apron pavement. During periods when aircraft are being deiced the
drainage collected from this apron will be directed to storage tanks and held until it is
taken off.site and treated in a manner consistent with all federal, state, and local
government regulations. During periods when aircraft are not being deiced the drainage
collected from the deicing pad will be routed to the general storm drainage system that
serves the Airport area, Details of the collection system are provided below.
b, The deicing fluid will be applied to the aircraft by specially equipped spray trucks. The
trucks will access the new deicing apron from the terminal apron along a service road,
which will be constructed along with deicing apron.
c, Except for taxiway edge lighting, the new deicing apron will have no lights, The task
lighting needed when aircraft deicing operations are being conducted will be mounted on
the spray trucks,
The service road that extends from the commercial passenger aircraft-parking apron to the
deicing pad would be extended to provide a hard surfaced roadway to the end of the proposed
deicing pad. The 1998 ALP calls for this road to eventually be constructed aromld the entire
perimeter of the Airport, This perimeter service road will be utilized by the deicing vehicles
when needed. However its primary purpose is to provide an all-weather road for use by
emergency, fueling, and maintenance vehicles.
Runoff from the proposed deicing apron area will flow overland northeasterly toa new concrete
curb and gutter that will collect the flows and convey them to new Type "R" curb inlets located
along the flowline at the easterly side of the apron. Flows would then proceed northerly through
a new PVC Drain Line "B," connecting each inlet to a new diversion structure at the outlet end
of this line, This Diversion Structure will have two outfall lines, Diversion Line "A" will be
sized to intercept and convey the initial flows containing primarily glycol, oil, fuels and other
contaminates and will discharge into a new Oil/Water Separator, During high storm water run-
off periods, flows would be diverted directly to the new Detention Basin through Diversion Line
"B".
Flows passing through the Oil/Water Separator would be sent to a second diversion structure.
The first diversion option will be to discharge into the 20,000-gallon holding tank for
contaminated fluids. The second diversion option will be to discharge directly into the storm
drain system through Drain Line "C." The size of the glycol storage tank was established based
on historic use at the Airport, Records show historic annual glycol usage (diluted at a 50/50
ratio) has remained under 20,000 gallons. The total estimated quantity of contaminated fluids
removed from the Airport for recycling on an annual basis is approximately 40,000 gallons, This
includes the 20,000 gallons discussed above and further dilution from storm water and snowmelt
runoff, The proposed system includes a second 20,000-gallon tank identified as potential future
expansion in the event the single tank system proves inadequate.

Master Plan Amendment, GMQS Exemption, Scenic Overlay & Special Review Application
The Airport will continue to monitor the storage levels in the old system as well as the proposed
system, and to have the spent fluids collected by an approved recycle finn, The fluids that are
considered recyclable will continue to be hauled as before, and fluids that are considered beyond
recovery level would have to be disposed of at an approved site,
The proposed system also includes a detention basin with .25 acre-feet of storage capacity.
During the deicing season, excess runoff from snowmelt can be routed through the Detention
Basin. During periods of heavy rainfall and when deicing operations have been suspended, the
stonn drain flows will be routed through the detention facility, and valves located in the new
control structure would be opened and a flow control device would release clean water at a rate
that would not exceed the capacity of existing down stream stonn drain lines, This structure will
also regulate flow from a separate "stonn water only" line, situated to intercept flows from that
area of the holding apron that lies inside the ROF A, where deicing will not take place. The new
piping system, Drain Line "C", will connect to an existing inlet and stonn drain line located
south and east of the existing Air Carrier Apron south of the Tenninal.
Finally, stonn water run-off in excess of the 5-year design stonn, will surface flow from the
deicing apron northeasterly to a low point along the service road, near the low end of the deice
collection piping on the apron, and at a corresponding depression, located at the southerly end of
the Detention Basin, Flows will continue into the basin and will be detained and released at rates
not to exceed the down stream drain line capacities.
Other Drainage Considerations
Other drainage options that were considered, included collection of all stonn drainage and glycol
near the northerly end of the proposed Deicing Apron, then by installation of a stonn drain
outfall line, and reversing these flows through the natural terrain.hill and sage brush area, to
discharge into the natural bowl area south of the existing intercept lot. A small detention basin
would be required at this location, similar in size to the proposed solution, and discharge would
be regulated at this point to assure that historic flows from the airport would not be exceeded.
This option was considered prohibitive for several reasons, first this approach would require
disturbance of the natural hill and sage brush area, second the installation of a stonn drain outfall
line would require deep excavation and therefore a wide trench, which would be expensive and
cause pennanent scarring of the natural terrain. Third, the detention basin would be placed in a
less than desirable location, due to Visibility Issues from Highway 82. Finally, there were
concerns about diverting flows from a portion of this drainage basin, as well as an increase in
flows, to a discharge point where the flows had not been historically routed, The chosen solution
eliminated all of these concerns and was considered the most cost effective,
8. Reconfiguration of the Rental Car Storage Lot to replace square footage displaced by the
Deice Apron and glycol system. The development of the deicing apron and glycol system will
displace a small area of pavement in the rental car storage lot. The total area of the rental car
storage lot displaced is approximately 8,761 square feet. However, the rental, car storage lot was
constructed with excess paved area of approximately 6,796 square feet (see Minor Amendment
to a Development Pennit application submitted to the County in April ofthis year), Therefore, in
order to maintain the parking area stipulated to in the lease between the County and the rental car
operators, an additional 1,965 square feet of paved area will have to be added to the rental car

storage lot. The location and configuration of the replacement pavement is depicted on the
Proposed Landscape Plan.
9. Relocation of the Air Traffic Control Tower (ATCT). Because of its close proximity to the
runway and ROF A, and considering the need for clear taxilane routes, it is recommended that the
Air Traffic Control Tower (ATCT) be relocated. The Airport is seeking land use approval only
at this time for the tower relocation, Final approval for scenic foreground review will be sought
as part of the Master Plan Update, which will commence later this year. This tower is subject to
FAA approval and its design and siteing will be the subject of study done in cooperation with the
Federal Aviation Administration, Current information suggest that the A TCT cab will be
relocated from the west side of the Radar Control Facility to the east side of the Radar Control
Facility. This will bring the tower structure closer to Highway 82, The new ATCT cab will have
a top-of-structure height of approximately 75 feet. For comparison purposes, the existing tower
is a similar height.
Landscape Plan
ESID includes substantial landscaping improvements as shown on Figures 15, 16 and 17. Figure 15
shows the existing landscape conditions including identification of the existing trees by type. The
existing berms and evergreen plantings along the frontage road provide visual screening of the
Airport from Highway 82 and create a beautiful corridor for the frontage road. The tall berms, shrub
massings, and evergreen trees between the existing parking areas and the terminal form an
undesirable visual barrier between the spaces, This creates an unwelcoming and confusing approach
to the terminal. The existing native landscape of sage and tall grasses surrounding the proposed
Budget Long-term/Employee parking lot is beautiful and unique to our area. This zOne will be
protected and enhanced,
Figure 16 shows the trees to be removed or transplanted as a result of the proposed ESID
improvements, Existing vegetation impacted by the proposed plan will be transplanted to other
locations on site, provided it is healthy and accessible for transplant. Every effort will be made to
save and transplant the existing trees on the property, Figure 17 illustrates the proposed
landscaping, Comparing Figures 15 and 17 illustrates the Airport's commitment to maintaining
screening of the Airport from Highway 82 and to improving the appearance of the Airport for
residents and visitors, The proposed landscaping includes 452 new Spruce, Cottonwood and Aspen
trees distributed as follows:
Spruce Trees: 161
Cottonwood Trees: 43
Aspen Trees: 252
Total: 452
These numbers include any existing trees that can be saved and transplanted,
The proposed parking, circulation, and landscape plan preserves the successful landforms and
plantings along the frontage road, Additional plantings of aspen, cottonwood, sage and native
grasses are proposed on the west side of the frontage road to compliment the east side of the road,
create a cohesive corridor, and enhance the screening of the parking lots. The proposed plan
Aspen/Pitkin Covnfy Airport - ES1D 33
Master Plan Amendment, GMQS Exemption, Scenic Overlay & Special Review Application
improves pedestrian connections between the terminal and parking lot by eliminating the visual
barriers of berms and shrubs, New plantings of aspen and lawn will be used to create welcoming
connections between the spaces, and define park like areas for visitors to gather. The native sage
ecosystem will be extended from the proposed Budget Long-term lot into the High Occupancy
Vehicle zone to set the south end of the terminal in the native landscape and provide a visual
connection between the lot and the terminal. New landforms and evergreen plantings will be added
to provide screening between Highway 82 and airport functions, such as parking, and airside
facilities,
Lighting Plan
As part of the reconstruction of the parking and circulation facilities, the exterior lighting will be
redone, Figures 18 through 23 provide a clear picture of the existing and proposed lighting schemes
in the area around the Main Terminal. Figure 18 shows the existing lighting scheme. The colored
circles on this figure are only symbols and are not intended to illustrate the actual light distribution
from the existing fixtures, The project team is working to prepare such an exhibit based on light
meter readings, This exhibit will be provided to the Staff prior to the Planning Commission meeting
and will be presented at the meeting,
The existing lighting in the Short Term Parking lot consists of fifteen 12 to 14-foot tall pole lights
with a visible light source (see Figure 19). The Terminal are is illuminated with sixteen 10 to 12-foot
pole lights with the light source shielded (see Figure 20). The Long-term parking lot and tarmac area
are illuminated with ten 20 to 25 foot.tall pole lights with the light source shielded from view (see
Figure 21), Sidewalks are illuminated with 47-inch tall bollards with shielded light sources.
The lighting scheme designed as part of the ESID improvements will provide more uniform light for
the parking areas and walkways and will eliminate the fixtures with visible light sources, Several
alternatives were examined for lighting of the redesigned parking and circulation areas in front of the
Main Terminal. The scheme selected is shown on the PROPOSED LIGHTING PLAN (Figure 22),
The proposed fixtures are illustrated on Figures 23a and 23b. These drawings show two alternatives
for the aesthetics of the fixtures but the lighting characteristics would be the same for both. The
Airport is seeking direction from the Planning Commission and the Board as to which of these design
themes should be pursued in the final design. The following basic description would apply to either
of the proposed alternatives,
All of the pole.mounted fixtures are proposed to be 14 feet tall. The lamp fixture is S]lielded and will
comply with Section 3-110-120 of the Land Use Code, Figure 22 depicts the actual light distribution,
which was determined using a computer-modeling program for this particular type of fixture, The
actual computer print out is included as Exhibit G, As illustrated on Figure 22, the proposed lighting
scheme provides uniform light with the least amount of overlap, This plan requires a total of 50 pole
-mounted fixtures, seven of which have double fixtures,

Project Phasing
Figure 24, ESID PHASING PLAN 2001.2006 graphically depicts the phasing schedule for the
improvements planned under ESID, The planned improvements are broken down into individual projects
and phased based on criteria related to physical sequencing, engineering and funding, Phasing for ESID
has been discussed with FAA on several occasions. Discussions have also occurred with Pitkin County
representatives in the preparation of these documents, These discussions resulted in significant revisions
to the phasing of the project to accommodate local concerns for airport operations and functional
considerations. The following paragraphs provide a brief description ofthe project phasing and the
rationale behind the phasing schedule,
In the 2001 construction season, the remainder of the AIP-20 project for the North General Aviation
Apron will be completed, The Airport also plans to accomplish construction of the Patio Shelters on the
North Apron area during this season. These are projects that were approved previously and are not part
of the ESID project. The first ESID construction season is proposed for year 2002 as shown on the
Phasing Plan.
,
In the 2002 construction season, the proposed construction sequence includes replacement of the Runway
Lighting System (MIRL); construction of a portion of the replacement GA Apron area south ofthe ARFF
facility, to allow for relocation of transient aircraft that now park and stage near the existing Taxiway A2
apron entrance near the Tower (this will require relocation and/or rearrangement of some long-term and
employee parking to the existing Intercept Parking Lot); reconstruction of Taxiway A2; construction of
the remainder of relocated Taxiway A from Taxiway A2 to the new location of Taxiway AI; and the
construction of new Taxiway AI.
,
In the 2003 construction season, the priority shifts to the south end of the site and includes the relocation
of Taxiway A from Taxiway A8 to A6; construction of the new Deicing / Holding Apron (or the first
phase of it as funding dictates) including the proposed Glycol Collection/Storage/Disposal System and
Piping; construction of the first segment of the Airport Perimeter Road, which will provide construction
access for this area and will serve as an internal service/emergency route at this end of the airport, If
sufficient funding is available, the entire Deice Apron would be constructed in a single phase, If not,
then this apron will constructed in two phases with the first phase being built to accommodate at least
two aircraft positions at the south end of the proposed deice apron. This phase would also include the
entire glycol collection and piping system,
~
The 2004 construction season would include the new ARFF/SRE facility on the west side of the runway
including permanent access to the runway; the segment of the Airport Perimeter Road from Owl Creek
Road Access to the ARFF Facility as well as any utility and security improvements necessary for the
facility; construct relocated Taxiway A from Taxiway A6 to AS and relocated Taxiway A6 as an angled
runway exit; demolition of the North FBO hangar relocation of the uses within this structure to the
existing ARFF/SRE building (this can only occur once the new ARFF Facility is completed). This will
open the door for implementation of the improvements scheduled for the 2005 construction season,
...
-
....
In the 2005 construction season, the priority is to reconstruct parking and circulation in the vicinity of the
Main Terminal, including the Long and Short-Term parking lot, Rental Ready Lot and the Commercial
Traffic Circle. This allows relocation of the remainder of Long Term and Employee Parking south of the
existing ARFF Facility; construct the remainder of relocated GA Apron south of the ARFF facility; and

relocate Taxiway A from Taxiway A3 to A2 and rehabilitation the adjacent area of the GA Apron in the
area where the North FBO Hangar is located (demolished in 2004),
Construction during the 2006 season will include the final segment of Taxiway A from Taxiway AS to
A3; rehabilitation ofthe South GA Apron from the SIDA Limits past the existing ARFF Facility and up
to Taxiway A3; installation of new Taxiway Lighting (MITL) for the entire relocated Taxiway A and all
of the connecting runways; complete remaining grading and clean up items identified in the ALP as
RSA/OF A Grading and Cleanup Projects, This includes grading to remove areas of terrain identified as
obstructions under FAA standards and other cleanup activities within the Runway Safety and Runway
Approach Areas on both ends of the Runway,
The above-described Phasing Plan is general in nature and may require revisions depending on the timing
offunding and other logistical matters beyond our ability to predict at this time, We anticipate revisions
to the project phasing throughout the phasing period. However, the phasing scheduled proposed here
represents our best estimate at this time and is offered to allow dialog regarding construction related
impacts and funding efforts.
v - RELATIONSHIP OF PROJECT TO FUTURE PLANNING EFFORTS
Planning for appropriate improvements at the airport has been an ongoing effort since the facility's
inception, Maintaining a safe operating facility has been a top priority for the County, as has been
balancing local impacts and benefits.
Both the FAA and the County maintain regulations that affect the design and operation of the airport, In
the past, conforming to both sets of regulations has had to be accomplished in the best way possible. In
1998, the airport acknowledged that a fully scoped Master Plan, as defined locally by the County Code,
was necessary, The airside safety changes necessary to meet ROF A standards, were deemed critical
and could not be deferred until the Master Plan was completed. Nonetheless, ESID attempts to limit its
scope to only those safety improvements. While the application clearly includes substantial automobile
parking and circulation changes, they were unable to be delayed due to their intertwined relationship to
the aircraft parking issue,
As scheduled, the airport is currently proceeding with the development of a fully scoped Master Plan
effort, That process will begin in Summer 2001, and may take 2-3 years to fully complete, The Master
Plan is the airport's opportunity to fully examine its facilities, market strategy, land holdings and runway,
It will include both technical analysis, and stakeholder/community involvement. The CIP improvements
not specifically included in ESID, but acknowledged in the '98 ALP Update, will be more fully
examined,
This comprehensive project may include as many as 18 months of scoping and development before an
application is mature for submission under the County's Code, The many issues likely to be examined
include, but are not limited to:
. Multi.carrier needs and increased commercial service strategies;
. Terminal size and design based on multi-carrier/multi.seasonal commercial usage;
. Administrative offices and maintenance areas;

. Secured baggage storage;
. Water service;
. West Side aircraft opportunities and impacts; and
. Design and landscape patterns and themes,
As described above, many of the safety changes in ESID are time sensitive for the FAA and the airport,
and cannot be delayed 2-3 years for completion of the Master Plan work. Nonetheless, the airport firmly
believes that ESID is a well-developed plan that will serve the County under all possible scenarios that
will be studied in the Master Plan,
A second high priority for the BOCC is development of additional employee housing units for the
airport, The County, the FAA and private vendors at this essential community facility have found
recruitment and retention of employees extremely difficult. The County is fortunate to own considerable
land surrounding the airport that may be compatible for some level of residential development. Scoping
of a site and an appropriate design scheme has begun in advance of the Master Plan at the request of the
Board. The outcome and timing of this project will be determined at a future date, but may continue
concurrently with development of the Master Plan. Due to the crisis nature ofthe local housing situation,
the BOCC may decide to use a parallel process to move both important projects forward as quickly as
possible,
VI - LAND USE CODE REVIEW CRITERIA
Special Review Criteria (Section 3-210)
Per Section 3-240-030,D.2, uses reviewed in Public Zone District Master Plans that are subject to
"further review" shall be subject to the procedures and standards of Special Review. This application
primarily requests approval for airside and landside changes originally reviewed in concept in the 1998
Airport Layout Plan. The 1998 ALP serves as the most recent and major Master Plan for the airport, and
generally listed all described development approved only in concept, due to the lack of detail contained
in that application, ESID provides additional detail of the project for its final review,
Compliance with Applicable Master Plans
The applicable masters plans for the Airport are the 2000 Aspen Area Community Plan (AACP) and the
1998 Airport Layout Plan (ALP), We have discussed the ALP and the project's compliance with this
plan at length in other section ofthis document and will not repeat that information here, However., there
are several policies within the AACP which are discussed in the following paragraphs.
The most current AACP was adopted in February of 2000, This document establishes an urban growth
boundary that includes the portion of the Airport grounds that encompass the proposed ESID
improvements. The AACP was adopted by the City of Aspen City Council. The plan was also jointly
adopted by the Pitkin County Planning Commission and the City of Aspen Planning Commission, The
AACP is an advisory document and is intended as a guide for elected and appointed officials in making
land use and development decisions, There are relatively few policies which directly with the Airport,

Perhaps the most important of these is a goal within the Transportation section ofthe plan that reads as
follows:
Improve the quality, affordability and reliability of commercial air service to Aspen and Pitkin
County. "
The proposed airside ESID improvements are based on the FAA mandated directive to improve safety at
the Aspen/Pitkin County Airport, These improvements are designed to increase safety and reliability for
all aircraft operating in and out of the Airport, In addition, the lands ide improvements, which are
required as a direct result of the airside improvements, will enhance the quality of the travel experience
for residents and visitors of the Aspen area, The redesign of the parking and circulation facilities in front
of the Main Terminal will significantly improve the transition to ground transportation. The proposed
long.term/short-term parking lot will offer parking that is both safer and more convenient to the Main
Terminal entrances. The ESID improvements also include the creation of an "economy" long-term lot
that was not previously offered. Under the current situation, we are aware that people are parking
illegally in the AABC and elsewhere in order to avoid the fee required in the existing long-term parking
lot. The ESID improvements will provide a better alternative for these customers. The proposed
redesign of the commercial vehicle loop will improve the experience for people utilizing hotel shuttle
vans, and taxi service. The new commercial loop will offer more efficient taxi and van cueing, which
should result in shorter waiting times and smoother transition, This will be especially appreciated in
inclement weather.
The AACP also includes policies encouraging alternative modes of transportation to the single-
occupancy vehicle. The improvements to the commercial loop are intended to make the use of vans and
other mass transit vehicles more convenient and appealing, The proposed improvements are also
designed to maintain a RFT A bus stop in front of the Airport regardless of whether the main intersection
is relocated (As per North 40 approval) or remains in its current location, The Future Land Use Map
included in the AACP shows a Transit Oriented Development Node along Highway 82 in the area in
front of the Main Terminal. It is not clear whether this node is intended to be located on the north side of
Highway 82 as part of the AABC commercial development or on the Airport side ofthe Highway.
However, "transit oriented development" generally refers to a mixed-use development that incorporates a
transit facility with convene ice and service oriented commercial uses and, preferably, multi-family and
other residential uses, This type of development would be more logically located within the AABC since
this mixed-use development already includes some commercial and residential uses,
During the lengthy public debate regarding the Entrance to Aspen the idea of having a light rail stop at
the Airport was analyzed, In fact, the 1998 Layout Plan (Figure 5) showed a potential alignment for the
light rail through the Airport in front of the Main Terminal building, Since that time, the future of light
rail has become much more difficult to predict. Currently, the construction of light rail does not appear
to be imminent due to funding and political complications, The proposed ESID improvements continue
to accommodate the potential for light rail through the Airport grounds with a stop in the Main Terminal
area thought the exact alignment would need to be reevaluated since the changes to the parking and
circulation in front of the Main Terminal effect the alignment shown in 1998 ALP, It should be noted
that this alignment would need to be reevaluated regardless ofthe ESID improvements if the main
intersection into the Airport and AABC is to be relocated to the north as contemplated during the North
40 approval process, The issue of how to best integrate light rail into the Airport should be identified as

an element for analysis in the scoping for the Airport Master Plan, which is intended to be kicked off
later this year.
The AACP also places great importance on the preservation of open space. The approach under the
ESID project is to handle the replacement parking (long-term and employee parking displaced by GA
apron expansion) as close as possible to the Main Terminal. This will allow the preservation of the bowl
area to the south of the Intercept Lot, which is where this replacement parking was proposed in the 1998
ALP. This bowl is very visible from Highway 82 and is an area where the existing sage vegetation has
been left undisturbed, By avoiding development in this bowl the ESID project maintains a more rural
feel for the Airport.
Compliance with Land Use Policies (Article 2)
The following paragraphs are dovoted to addressing those policies which are covered elsewhere in this
application.
Air Quality (Section 2-130 & 3-60-020)
The improvements proposed in the ESID project will result in no increase in aircraft or vehicle
operations on the Airport. No increase in vehicular parking is proposed, In addition, the commercial
vehicle loop is proposed to be redesigned to be more efficient. This should make travel by van more
appealing for visitors,
Water Resources (Section 2-140 & 3-70)
The proposed improvements will have no little, if any significant adversse impact on surface or ground
water resources, The nearest surface water is Owl Creek, which runs through the Airport property, Most
of the proposed improvements are located well away from Owl Creek. The improvement nearest Owl
Creek is the expansion of the north end of the General Aviation apron (see Figrue 7, Development Plan),
However, final approval is not being sought for this apron expansion in this application, The isuues
associated with this improvement will be addressed in detail during the review ofthe Master Plan,
Regardless, the north GA apron expansion is approximately 400 reet from Owl Creek, at its closest point.
The land use code requires a minimum 20-foot stream setback in all cases (Section 3-50-040), This
standard can be increased to 150 feet in cases where there are steep slopes, highly erodable soiols or
other special circumstances. In this case, both standards are exceed by a wide margin. Owl Creek is
diverted into a culvert as it passes under the runway towards the north end of the airport, The north GA
pavement expansion will be designed to sheet drain toward Highway 82 where it will run into a ditch and
will eventually flow into Owl Creek. The ditch which is in place and carries strormwater runoff from
other areas of the Airport travels nearly 1,800 feet before flowing into Owl Creek, No fueling or deicing
are conducted in this area of the arpon.
All deicing is conducted in the areas designed for this purpose, Deicing fluid is collected in a
containment system and is removed from the Airport property and disposed of at an approved facility.
The ESID project includes a new deicing facility which is located at the other end of the Airport from
Owl Creek. The proposed facility is described in detail in the Project Description section of this
application, The system is designed to prevent contamination of surface or ground water,
Aspen/Pitkin CovnfyAirporf- ESID 50
Master Plan Amendment, GMQS Exemption, Scenic Overlay & Special Review Application
Noise (Section 2-150)
The proposed improvements are being made to improve safety at the Airport. No increases in aircraft
operations are contemplated in association with the ESID improvements, The proposed expansion of the
general aviation aircraft parking apron into the long-term and employee parking lot will result in planes
being located closer to Highway 82; however, these aircraft are to be tugged in and out of this area and
will not have to taxi under their own power. As a result, there should be no perceivable increase in noise
associated with this improvement.
Impacts to Roads (Section 2-190)
It is the policy of Pitkin County to preclude development which generates traffic volumes in excess of the
capacity of the County road system or which causes significant service level reductions, Vehicular
access to the Airport is provided directly off of Highway 82. This project will not result in any increase
in traffic volume on Highway 82. The project includes the relocation ofthe existing long-term and
employee parking lot. These parking areas include a total of242 parking spaces. These parking spaces
will be relocated on the Airport grounds, No increase in parking spaces is sought with this application.
In addition, the commercial parking loop is being redesigned to make using shuttle vans and other private
transit service more efficient and convenient,
Compliance with Intent of Public Zone District
The Airport property is located within the Public (PUB) zone district. The property was rezoned in 1990
after the adoption of the 1989 Airport Master Plan Update. When this rezoning was adopted, the County
made the finding that the Airport met the intent of the Public zone district which is to allow for the
development of public uses, facilities and serivces for governmental, civic, educational, humanitarian,
health care and other public non.profit public purposes that are consistent with the land use plans and
policies of Pitkin County. The improvements proposed under ESID are being made to further th e
The Land Use Code also states that development within the Public zone district should be based upon the
adoption of a master plan, The current master plan for the Airport is the 1998 ALP, The proposed ESID
improvements were approved in concept in the ALP, with two exceptions that are described in the
lntorduction of this application. The purpose of this application is to seek final approval for those ESID
improvements which were aproved in concept in the ALP and to seek an amendment to the master plan
and final approval for those elements which were not included in the 1998 ALP,
The airport meets the rquirements for a public facility, as outlined in the growth management section of
the Code (Section 150-140), Compliance with the applicable growth management provisions will be
addressed later in this application,
Character of Surrounding Neighborhood
.
Sardy Field is uniquely sited from a ski area/mountain perspective. With relatively few exceptions,
Aspen/Pitkin County is one of the few public airports to boast substantial commercial air service, and a
close proximity to a resort destination, This benefit has helped anchor Pitkin County's market share of
tourism and economic sustainability, However, along with the benefits of a convenient and central
location, the airport has also developed in a manner to minimize impacts with its neighbors, As with
~
"
Aspen/Pitkin COllnfyAirporf- ESlD 51
Master Plan Amendment, GMQS Exemption, Scenic Overlay & Special Review Application
~
most airport facilities nationally, conflicts between aircraft service and residential disturbance has
surfaced as a primary concern for the BOCC. In many respects Sardy Field is much better located than
many airports, given the relatively rural densities that have developed in the County, The mixture of
businesses and public serving facilities in the immediate vicinity of the area has generally been designed
to compliment the airport, rather than conflict with its continued service. New residential developments,
such as the North 40 and MAA/City of Aspen Affordable Housing residential enclaves directly across
Highway 82, included aviation easements and other methods to ensure that neighbors are aware of the
public facility in its neighborhood, and homes are designed to minimize safety or noise impacts where
necessary,
Property Acquisitions
In certain cases, adjacent or nearby parcels have been identified as particularly important to the future
airport operations. Acquisitions of such sites are encouraged, and sometimes required, by the FAA.
When funds are available, the FAA promotes local airports to acquire such sites, In recent years the
County has pursued several such acquisitions, In 1999 and 2000, the County undertook condemnation
actions on three such sites immediately south of the airport, The first condemnation pertained to the
Studhalter property, which included a multi-family dwelling partially within the Runway Object Free
Area, The house was listed for sale at the time condemnation was commenced, and historically had a
very high priority for acquisition due to its infringement into the ROF A. The site has been acquired
through the use of Passenger Facility Charges, The County is slated to remove the structure within the
ROFA in 2002,
In 2000, the Burlingame Ranch site was acquired from the City of Aspen, Approximately 10 acres of a
larger City of Aspen purchase was condemned. The property is located immediately to the south ofthe
runway and is within the mapped Runway Protection Zone (RPZ), Although slated by the City for
continued agricultural use, the County did not allow continuation of the grazing activity due to the
sensitive safety issues that exist on that site,
Finally, in 2000, the County partnered with the Colorado Department of Transportation (COOT) to
proceed with condemnation of the so-called Stapleton parcel. This site is located immediately south of
the City's Burlingame parcel, and is zoned for residential development. The County and COOT have
many public interests in this site, including its potential for incompatible development with the airport,
The long-term outlook for the site is public parking, which is the most compatible possible use from the
Airport's perspective given the severe noise and critical hazard constraints related to the airport.
,
Adjacent Developments
"
When outright acquisition has been determined to be infeasible, the airport has encouraged the County
and City to regulate land use on nearby sites in a manner that minimizes conflicts and hazards. The most
prominent conflict with airports and its surrounding uses are outlined in Section 3-100-030 of the Land
Use Code, This section sets forth criteria for ensuring that new development is regulated to protect
residential and other noise sensitive land uses from airport noise, It also serves to avoid danger to the
health and safety or property due to aircraft crashes,
'.
-,.
Three significant new developments have recently been approved and constructed in close proximity to
the airport. They include the North 40 residential subdivision and the Colorado Mountain College to the
""l
Aspen/Pitkin CovntyAirporf- ESlD 52
Master Plan Amendment, GMQS Exemption, Scenic Overlay & Special Review Application
~
east, and the MAA/City of Aspen Affordable Housing development to the southeast. All three
developments were aware of the airport's impacts and future development schemes, and included
mitigation measures to minimize future conflicts, Future planning at the Aspen Mass site will require
equal consideration given its location under the primary flight path.
The Woody Creek Caucus and members of the Emma area have also been active neighbors to the airport,
and maintain their concern for noise impacts and safety concerns given the substantial over flight in these
regions. ESID serves only to accommodate existing aircraft and automobile traffic in a safer manner, and
will neither improve nor further impact these surrounding areas.
Location, Size and Operating Characteristics
The Code requires that applicant's for special use permits show that the location, size and operating
characteristics of a proposed use is in harmony with the surrounding area and minimizes adverse effects,
including visual impacts, impacts on pedestrian and vehicular circulation, parking, trash, service delivery,
noise, vibrations, and odor on surrounding properties, Most of these impacts either have been or will be
addressed in other sections of this application (e.g, visual impacts addressed in Scenic Foreground
review), However, in general, the proposed improvements will result in no changes to the location, size
or operating characteristics in a way that will further impact any adjacent property,
Adequate Public Facilities and ~ervices
The east side ofthe airport is served by City of Aspen water and Aspen Consolidated Sewer District,
Private water and septic systems exist on the west side to serve an older compound of residential uses
leased to Lada Vrany,
ESID will include new landscaping on the east side, but no building or facilities that will trigger water or
sewer needs, The landscaping changes on the east side, while substantial, replaces existing vegetation.
The landscaping and irrigation have been designed to avoid any increase in water usage on the east side.
Figure 25 depicts the existing and proposed areas of irrigation on the property, The analysis shows that
there will be a significant reduction (approximately 40,600 square feet) in the amount of spray irrigation
on the Airport grounds as a result of ESID, Spray irrigation is the most water consuming type of
irrigation used at the Airport. There will be a net increase in the total irrigated area (24,997 square feet)
but most of the new irrigation will be either temporary to establish turf areas or will be drip irrigation of
new trees. Therefore, there will be a net reduction in the amount of water used for irrigation on the
Airport as result of ESID,
,
In the 1990's the County acquired additional new water rights, which bolstered the County's previously
existing rights, These rights are currently under petition to the Colorado Water Court for adjudication. In
the near future, the County anticipates entering into an agreement with the Buttermilk Metro District
regarding water development. The County will lease a portion of its water rights to the District in
exchange for treated water service to the airport property, This system will serve the ARFF structure
proposed for the west side, The application depicts a new water line that will connect the ARFF to the
new system once designed,
,
Internal roads within the airport are public right-of-way, They have historically served the airport's
landside transportation needs adequately, Plans to improve the commercial traffic circle were approved
,
Aspen/Pitkin COlJntyAirporf- ESID 53
Master Plan Amendment, GMQS Exemption, Scenic Overlay & Spedal Review Application
.
in 1999, after significant input with users, The plans were not constructed in 2000, and have again been
rescoped in light of the opportunities presented by ESID, As a result, the circle has been redesigned to
improve flow and capacity, pedestrian circulation, and minimize duplication of road surfaces,
In 1996, the CDOT assisted the City and County in completing a new slip lane in the up vaIley direction,
from the airport onto Highway 82, This slip lane originaIly was designed to meet increased traffic
capacity anticipated from the intercept lot, and offered an opportunity for the City Parking Department to
erect a kiosk that was off the primary highway flow of traffic, but convenient for dissemination of High
Occupancy Vehicle passes, on-street day parking passes, and general information. This slip lane and
kiosk are retained in the four-Ianing of Highway 82 currently underway along the frontage of the airport,
ESID proposes no net increase in automobile parking spaces at the airport. In fact, with the proposed
reuse of a portion of the intercept lot, a net reduction of 135 spaces in overaIl airport onsite parking
spaces result. The redesign will therefore have no impact on Highway 82, or its intersections with the
airport.
AIl new parking facilities wiIl be designed to conform to the parking standards contained in Section 3-
110-080 of the Land Use Code, These standards require parking lots for business, commercial or multi-
family uses to be suitably screened and concealed from arterial highways by landforms and/or
landscaping. Screening of the proposed improvement is discussed in detail in the Scenic Foreground
section of this application,
The ESID project is designed to be compatible with the relocation of the primary AABC/Airport lighted
intersection at Highway 82. The County approved a relocation of the intersection to the north as a part of
the North 40 residential project. The impetus for the relocation was the congestion and failure in levels
of service on the AABC side of the intersection both before, and after, build-out of the North 40 and
CMC campus, Given geometric constraints, maintaining an acceptable traffic flow at the existing
intersection could not be accomplished, The airport is prepared to share in the airport side costs
associated with developing a replacement intersection and stacking lanes onto the highway. Relocation
was scheduled in 2002/2003,
In late FaIl and early winter 2000, the new owners in the North 40 approached the BOCC concerned with
the proposed intersection design, and its impact on their quality of life, While the County and CDOT are
stiIl budgeted to relocate the intersection as scheduled, a reanalysis of the mitigation alternatives has
been requested,
The airport has designed ESID to be compatible with either the new or existing intersection location.
The airport would note, however, that during the ESID design efforts, it has become apparent that the
new intersection designed to the north significantly benefits the flow of traffic into the airport,
Demonstrate that the proposed improvements will not materially endanger health, safety and
welfare, or substantially injure the value of adjacent parcels
This application is submitted with the sole purpose of improving the health and safety at an important
public facility, The role the airport serves to the community has already been articulated; and ensuring
the safest design into this popular airport is of the highest priority, Thus, the very basis of this
Aspen/Pitkin COlJnty Airport - ESID 55
Master Plan Amendment, GMQS Exemption, Scenic Overlay & Special Review Application
application is to seek the final approvals necessary to complete safety improvements, and those
supplemental facilities affected by the airside redesign,
No increase in air traffic or aircraft parking results from this proposal, although some aircraft parking
designs are improved to allow more safe parking practices during peak periods. The airport continues its
diligent efforts to work consistent with federal standards for safety and public welfare,
As described above, ESID does not affect adjacent sites. The deicing pad is located closer to the recently
constructed MAA/City of Aspen housing project; however, those owners were aware of the airport's
operations at the time they proposed the development. With the construction of the berm that screen the
units from the highway and airport, no effect from the deicing pad should be apparent.
GMQS Exemption for ABO Reuse of AARF Building
The ESID project includes the demolition of the North FBO hangar, which is the last remaining structure
located within the Building Restriction Line (BRL), This structure is approximately 3,700 square feet in
area and contains the Aspen Base Operation's vehicle maintenance function. This function is proposed
to be relocated to the existing ARFF structure along with the ABO line department, which is currently
housed in the ABO Main Terminal building, The space within the existing ABO terminal currently
occupied by the line department is proposed to be converted into a transient pilot's lounge, This is a
function that has been desired fOFsome time in the General Aviation Terminal but there was no excess
space available to accommodate it. No new employees are anticipated as a result of the transient pilot's
lounge,
In order to accommodate the ABO vehicle maintenance and line department functions, approximately
4,988 square feet of the existing ARFF building will be converted from public use to commercial use, A
more detailed comparison of the square footages and their uses is included in the Project Description
section of this application, Under previous approvals, a 5,000 square.foot T-hangar structure was to be
built to replace the North FBO hangar once it was demolished, Since the T.hanger was never
constructed, the Airport is now proposing to transfer the growth management exemption for this square
footage to offset the change is use of the existing ARFF facility square footage, This replacement would
account for the final 5,000 square feet of development anticipated in the 1992 and 1993 approvals, As a
result, there is no net increase in commercial space associated with the change in use. Therefore, no
additional employment generation over the review of the FBO facilities in 1993 is expected. Further, no
new parking is proposed in association with the change in use at the ARFF building or at the ABO Main
Terminal. The space on the west (runway) side of the ARFF will be used for aircraft parking as shown
on the LOT LINE ADJUSTMENT/PROPOSED GENERAL A VIATIONAIRCRAFT PARKING PLAN
(Figure 10), Currently, this space must remain unobstructed since constant access must be maintained
between the ARFF building and the runway,
GMQS Exemption for Essential Community Facilities (Section 3-150-140)
The reuse of the existing ARFF/SRE facility as described above requires the creation of a new
ARFF/SRE facility, which is proposed on the west side of the runway, The proposed ARFF/SRE is
described in greater detail in the project description, The Airport is seeking land use and growth
management exemption approval for the new ARFF/SRE facility square footage, Scenic foreground
Aspen/Pitkin COlJnty Airport - ESlD 56
Master Plan Amendment, GMQS Exemption, Scenic Overlay & Special Review Application
approval is not being requested at this time, since the design of the facility has not been developed to the
point where commitments can be made with respect to the exterior appearance of the structure,
In the past, the Airport has successfully argued that, for GMQS purposes, a distinction should be drawn
between the elements of the airport that provide public mass transit and those that are not open to the
public, The ARFF/SRE use has historically been considered as supporting the public mass transit
function at the Airport and, therefore, is considered an essential community facility. The following is a
brief review of the criteria for consideration of the growth management exemption for essential
community facilities for the proposed ARFF /SRE facility,
A. General Standards
1. Fundamental public service: As described in the project description section ofthis application,
the ARFF/SRE building will contain a total of 12,000 square feet plus an additional 2,000 square feet
devoted to deed-restricted employee housing, The building will contain space for eight vehicles
including emergency reponse, snow removal and maintence vehicles, The vehicle bays represent
approximatley 7,400 square feet of the total proposed square footage, The remainder of the building
will be devoted to personnel areas, including locker rooms, training rooms, offices, storage and work
rooms. These uses are accessory to and cirtical for all aircraft operations in and out of the Airport,
2. Open to general public: The commercial airlines aspect of the Airport is open to the general
public and the ARFF/SRE f~s:ility is a supporting function of the Airport that allows the continued
smooth operation of commercial flights,
3. Serves primarily the local community: The local community depends on air service for travel in
and out of the Aspen area. In addition, the local resort economy depends on air service, Local pilots
also utilize the airport, Evidence of the importance of the Airport to the local community is
expressed in the 2000 AACP, which includes among its goals, a statement calling for improvements
in the quality, affordability and reliability of commercial air service to Aspen and Pitkin County,
4. Not a growth generator: The proposed ARFF /SRE building, though larger than the existing
ARFF/SRE facility is being proposed to accommodate uses which already exist on the Airport
grounds. The additional square footage is required primarily to accommodate vehicles which are
currently being stored outside, In addition, the Aiport has recently purchased an additional snow
removal vehicle which will required covered storage. This vehicle has been puchased to allow more
efficeint winter maintance ofthe runways,
The proposed adffordable housing is intended to allow on-site housing for employees working at the
Airport. Details of these units have not been developed, A this point, the Airport is seeking approval
for four small efficiency units in the 400 to 500 square foot size range, The units are intended to be
located on the upper floor of the proposed ARFF/SRE building,
B. Mitigation of Service Demands
To be eligible for exemption from growth management as an essential community facility it must be
shown that the proposed use mitigates demand for all affordable housing, transportation and service
needs, and basic services such as water supply, sewage treatment, fire and police protection and solid
waste disposal. The proposed ARFF/SRE facility will generate no new employees since the uses
accommodated in this structure already exist on the Airport grounds, Further, no new parking or
traffic impacts are anticipated in association with this improvement. The trips associated with the
Aspen/Pitkin County Airport - ESID 57
Master Plan Amendment, GMQS Exemption, Scenic Overlay & Spedai Review Application
,
ARFF/SRE that are currently handled by Highway 82 and the internal road system at the Airport will
now be carried on Owl Creek Road, though some trips could occur on the internal perimeter road
once this road is constructed, The only new service will be the extension of a water line to provide
potable water for the ARFF facility. The issues associated with water and the other basic services
have been addressed previously in this application (Adequate Public Facilities),
C. Mitigation of Environmental Impacts
The Code requires the mitigation of all air quality, water, land and energy resources, and scenic
quality. Air and water quality are addressed in the Land Use Policies section of this application.
Scenic quality will be addressed in a subsequent application under the Scenic Foreground Overlay
provision of the Code once the design of the structure has been developed, However, the ARFF/SRE
building will not be visible from Highway 82. The structure will be visible from portions of Owl
Creek Road.
Scenic Overlay (Section 3-60-040)
The Airport property is included within the Scenic Foreground Overlay mapping. Therefore,
development on the Airport grounds must be reviewed for compliance with the criteria in Section 3.60-
040 of the Land Use Code, The relocation of the Air Traffic Control Tower (ATCT) and the
construction of the new ARFF /SRE facility on the west side of the runway have not been addressed in
this review, The design of these facilities is yet to be determined and, therefore Scenic Overlay approval
is not being requested at this time, In addition, the following ESID improvements will either not be
visible at all from Highway 82 or will create no significant change in the visual impacts associated with
the Airport and, therefore, have not been addressed in this section:
· Relocation of Taxiway A (Taxiway lighting is addressed in lighting discussion);
· Reconfiguration of the Rental Car Storage Lot to replace square footage displaced by the Deice
Apron and glycol system;
· Removal ofthe north FBO hangar and relocation of the uses contained therein to the existing
ARFF /SRE structure,
Figures 27 through 30 are photographs taken at key locations along Highway 82, These photographs
show the four areas of the project with the greatest potential for scenic impacts. They are also the areas
that received the greatest attention in terms of landscaping and other design considerations in the effort to
minimize visual impacts. Figure 27 is a view of the Long.term/Employee parking lot where the general
Aviation apron expansion will occur, Figure 28 is the view toward the Main Terminal and Short-term
parking lot taken at the existing main entrance into the Airport, Figure 29 is the view toward the High
Occupancy Vehicle area taken from appoint near the south entrance to he AABC, Figure 30 is the view
toward the south end of the runway where the proposed Deicing Apron is proposed, The photos are
referenced in the review of the Scenic Overlay criteria in the following paragraphs.
Review of Criteria
1. Whether the proposed development has utilized existing topography and natural vegetation,
such as ridges and hills to screen buildings to the maximum extent possible.
Aspen/Pitkin CovntyAirport- ESID 58
Master Plan Amendment, GMQS Exemption, Scenic Overlay & Special Review Application
Response: There are existing berms on the Airport grounds that provide screening for some of the
existing uses and facilities. In order to accommodate the redesign of the parking and circulation
system in the area of the Main Terminal, some of these berms would be removed or altered. The
changes to the existing landforms can be seen on the PROPOSED SCHEMATIC GRADGING PLAN
(Figure 26), This drawing shows both the existing and proposed grading, Currently there are three
tiers of berms in the area between the Terminal structure and Highway 82, The fist tier is located
between the Highway and the Frontage Road, While this berm undulates in height it is, in most
areas, the main landscape element screening the Airport Terminal and parking areas from the
Highway. This berm will not be disturbed! As part of the ESID improvements additional trees will
be added to this berm in order to improve screening at key locations. The EXISTING LANDSCAPE
CONDITIONS PLAN (Figure 15) shows that this berm is planted with Cottonwoods and Spruce trees,
The existing plantings are concentrated most heavily in front of the Rental Car Ready Lot and at the
main entrance, The Proposed Landscape Plan shows additional trees in these areas and all along this
berm to the south to help compensate for changes to the interior berm caused by the relocation of the
Rental Car Ready Lot.
The second tier of berms is located on the west (Terminal) side of the Frontage Road in the area of
the Short.term parking lot and the High Occupancy area. There are two major berms in this area that
are divided at the point where the loop road for the Main Terminal comes back to the Frontage Road,
The northernmost of these berms (near Short-term Lot) will be only slightly modified (on the side
facing the Terminal building) to accommodate the expanded Short-term/Long-term Lot. Figure 28 is
a photograph of this berm as seen through main entrance to the Airport from the other side of
Highway 82, A total of9 trees will be either removed or relocated with the construction of this lot.
However, this area will receive numerous additional trees to augment the existing landscaping and
minimize the visual impacts of this larger parking lot. Proposed plantings in this area include at least
50 spruce trees as well as numerous Cottonwood and Aspen trees,
The southernmost berm will be reduced as shown on Figure 26 to make room for the relocated Rental
Car Ready Lot. The southernmost end of this berm will remain and receive additional trees as shown
on the Proposed Landscape Plan. There is a row of existing Spruce trees located along the Frontage
Road (see Figure 29), most of which will be retained as part of a IS to 20.foot buffer that will be
preserved between the edge of the Rental Car Ready Lot and the Frontage Road. This area will be
heavily landscaped to minimize the visibility of the Rental Car Ready Lot. New plantings in this area
include 41 Spruce, Aspen and Cottonwood Trees to augment the 11 mature Spruce trees being
retained,
The third tier of berms is located between the Short-term Lot and the Terminal road and in the center
of the commercial vehicle circle. The berm in the commercial vehicle area is relatively small and has
only a few trees, This berm provides little or no screening of any parking area or structure from
Highway 82, This berm is removed to accommodate the redesigned commercial vehicle loop, The
proposed landscaping for this are is shown on Figure 17, The proposed landscaping represents a
substantial increase in the number of trees in this area of the Terminal grounds, The removal of this

small berm will have little or no effect on the appearance of Terminal area as viewed from the
Highway,
The berm between the Short-term Lot and the Terminal road is also being removed, This berm
screens the Short-term Lot from the Terminal area, but provides little additional screening of the
Terminal area as viewed from the Highway, since most of this screening is already provided by the
berms along the Highway and near the Frontage Road (first two tiers). This berm is being removed
for several reasons. First, the project team felt is was preferable to maintain the berm between the
Short-term Lot and the Frontage Road since that landform provides more valuable screening for the
proposed Short-term/Long-term Lot. As a result, the parking lot was expanded in the direction of the
Terminal to preserve as much of the berm along the Frontage Road as possible. Second, the berm
being removed creates a barrier between the Terminal building and the parking lot. This situation
creates a safety concern, since persons leaving the terminal at night cannot be seen from the Terminal
when they go out to their vehicle. Also, this separation is confusing for people not familiar with the
Airport layout. By eliminating this berm and creating a more open landscaped area in front ofthe
Main Terminal people will have a greater sense of security and connection while walking to an from
the proposed Short-term/Long-term parking lot.
The Proposed Landscape Plan shows that there will be a 10 to IS-foot landscaped buffer retained
between the future Short-term/Long-term Lot and the Terminal road, This area will be planted with
Aspens and a few Spruces to,,provide an open yet landscaped feel to this area, In addition, to further
soften the view of the parking lot from the Terminal, planting islands are provided within the parking
lot itself.
With this plan, the project team has preserved those existing landforms that provide the most
valuable screening of the Main Terminal area while accommodating most of the displaced Long-term
parking in close proximity to the Terminal entrances, This approach will make the experience of
using the Airport more secure and convenient while maintaining the current level of screening for the
Terminal area from the Highway.
The only other aspect of the ESID improvements that will involve a visible alteration of the existing
terrain will be the construction of the proposed Deice Apron, The location of the Deice Apron
relative to the Highway is shown on the Development Plan (Figure 7), Figures 12, 13 and 14 provide
more detail as to the layout of the Apron and its relationship the existing terrain, Figures 13 and 14
are section drawings showing the elevation of the Apron surface relative to the existing terrain
(shown as green line on the figures), Examining these figures reveals that the proposed Apron
surface will be at or below existing grade at its north end and will require gradually more fill toward
the south end, At the southernmost corner, the proposed Apron surface will be 12 to 15 feet higher
than the existing terrain, This corner of the Apron will be visible from Highway 82 across the sage
bowl landform though at a significant distance. At its closest point, the proposed Apron will be just
over 300 feet from the southbound lane of Highway 82, Figure 30 is photograph taken from the
Highway looking in the direction of the proposed Apron expansion, The area disturbed during the
construction of this Apron will be immediately revegetated using a native grass seed mix. Once
revegetated, the change in grade should not be very noticeable,
2. Whether the proposed development has been designed to complement the natural topography
of the land, including, whenever possible and appropriate, the utilization of innovative
Aspen/Pitkin County Airport - ESID 65
Master Plan Amendment, CMQS Exemption, Scenic Overlay & Special Review Application
architectural techniques such as earth sheltered design, natural materials and coloring,
non-reflectability and clustering of structures on the least visible portions of the site.
Response: Most of the improvements, for which Scenic Overlay approval is being requested in this
application, involve changes to pavement areas, roads and parking lots. Other improvements include
the installation of new fencing and light fixtures and the regrading of berms in the area around the
Main Terminal. These improvements do not involve structures and thus would not benefit from the
use of earth-sheltered design, Further, most of the proposed improvements are located in areas where
there is no natural terrain, The area around the main terminal includes several man.made landforms
berms which were constructed when the Airport facilities where constructed or at various times since
then. Some of these berms are being removed or altered to accommodate the redesign of the parking
and circulation improvements, The proposed grading is depicted on Figure 26.
3. Whether the proposed development's height and bulk has been designed to avoid, to the
maximum extent possible, the visibility of buildings from the highway and public view planes.
Response: No buildings are proposed for which Scenic Overlay approval is requested in this
application.
4. The proposed structure shall be placed so it does not break a ridgeline, unless there are no
alternate building sites 'I.n the lot.
Response: The Airport property does not include any areas mapped for ridgeline review. In
addition, no structures are proposed for which Scenic Overlay is requested at this time, In fact, the
project includes the removal of one structure (North FBO Hangar) that is visible from Highway 82.
The only element ofthe project that will be high enough to create the potential to break a ridge line is
the relocated aircraft parking that will occur on the general aviation apron expansion in the area of
the long-term/employee parking lot. Some of the aircraft that will be parked in this area will have
tails up to 25.9 feet in height. The tops of these aircraft will be visible from Highway 82, There is
an existing berm that will substantially screen the aircraft parking in this area, Figure 27 is a
photograph showing the view towards the existing Long-term/employee parking lot from Highway
82, The berm appears in the middle ground of this photograph,
5. Whether the proposed development has avoided the location of uses on the lzighest ground or
most visible portion of the site as viewed from State Highway 82 and public rights-of-way,
identified in Section (B)(l) above.
Response: The most visible portions of the Airport ground are the bowl landform located south of
the Intercept Lot and the open ground at the north end ofthe runway and beyond, No improvements
are proposed on the north end of the Airport grounds under ESID, The bowl landform near the
intercept lot was recommended as the location for future parking facilities in the 1998 ALP,
Concerted efforts have been made as part of ESID to avoid development on this area, The project
team has taken the approach of concentrating development and improvements in the already-
developed areas of the property in an effort to retain the rural feel of the lands surrounding the
Airport, This requires development to a slightly more urban standard in the area near the terminal.
Aspen/Pitkin County Airport - ESlD 66
Master Plan Amendment, GMQS Exemption, Scenic Overlay & Special Review Application
6. Whether the proposed development has been located outside of the designated Scenic Overlay,
or on a suitable site at the greatest distance possible from State Highway 82 and identified
ridgelines.
Response: The entire site is located within the designated Scenic Overlay area. Location of the
proposed improvements on the site is constrained by several factors most notably the FAA
regulations governing the location of structures and other obstructions within the runway Object Free
Area (ROF A) and the Building Restriction Line (BRL). In addition, there is a 200-foot setback from
the Highway, which further constrains the property, Figure 7 shows the proposed improvements and
the relationship to the ROF A, BRL and Highway setback lines. This exhibit clearly illustrates that
there are no other logical options for the improvements proposed for the east side of the Airport
grounds, The only remaining area large enough to accommodate parking or other space intensive
uses is the sage bowl located to the south of the Intercept Lot. This area of the airport is very
exposed and visible from Highway 82. The desire to avoid the significant visual impacts associated
with developing within this bowl was among the primary reasons for redesigning the parking and
circulation in front of the Main Terminal to accommodate the displaced long-term parking, Given
this situation, the Airport has proposed substantial landscaping as part of the ESID project to
minimize any visual impacts of the project and to enhance the experience for users ofthe Airport,
7. Whether the proposed development has been landscaped in accordance with the adopted State
Highway 82 Corridor laIJdscape guidelines and has preserved natural vegetation, to the
maximum extent possible, including the avoidance of development within irrigated meadows.
Existing vegetation shall be maintained to the maximum extent possible, while using existing
vegetation to screen development. A landscaping plan shalt be submitted by the applicant and
approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission.
Response: The adopted State Highway 82 Corridor Landscape Guidelines identifY four basic
objectives as follows:
1, Preserve historical rural character;
2, Preserve spacious open views;
3, Preserve the natural ecosystem of the corridor; and
4, Landscaping should be self-maintaining,
The areas proposed for improvements have been part of the airport grounds and have been used
for Airport operations since its establishment. The proposed improvements will expand on the
existing historic use of the airport property, This expansion is being pursued as part of the
functional and safety related improvements identified in the 1998 Airport Layout Plan Update,
With the exception of the proposed west-side ARFF/SRE facility, the proposed improvements
avoid the open areas of the Airport grounds and are concentrated in the areas where existing
development already exists, No open views will be obstructed by the ESID improvements,
No significant adverse impacts on the existing ecosystem are anticipated over those that already
exist on the Airport grounds, The most significant change to the ecosystem will be the increased
runofffrom the hard surface of the GA Apron expansion and the Deicing Apron. Runofffrom
the GA Apron expansion will flow to the northeast and be collected in a drainage swale and
carried to the north as occurs currently. Runoff from the Deice Apron will also flow to the
Aspen/Pitkin COllntyAirporf- HID 67
Master Plan Amendment, CMQS Exemption, Scenic Overlay & Special Review Application
northeast and will be collected in drainage system designed to handle both glycol and storm
runoff (see description of Deice Pad for details of how the glycol/stormwater collection system
will function). This system includes a storm detention basin to handle peak period flows and
allow the release of water at historic rates, The system outflows into the existing stormwater
system on the Airport grounds. The Airport maintains a storm water runoff plan that is reviewed
annually to monitor changes in the runoff volume and water quality,
The area disturbed during construction will be seeded with a native grass mix. This native grass
mix will require little maintenance, Some trees and shrubs will be removed during the
reconstruction of the parking and circulation facilities in front of the Main Terminal. Figure 17
shows the trees to be removed or transplanted as part of the Terminal area project. Every effort
will be made to transplant existing trees; however, it will not be possible to save all of the
existing trees. Based on the proposed plans approximately 127 existing trees will be removed
and/or transplanted, The proposed landscape plan calls for a total of 456 new or transplanted
trees including 161 Spruce trees, 43 Cottonwoods and 252 Aspens. These new and/or
transplanted trees will be spread out over the area between the north edge of the Intercept Lot
and the north edge of the ABO Terminal parking lot, as depicted on Figure 17.
8. Whether the proposed development's exterior lighting has been designed in such a manner
that light sources, such as facade and landscape lighting, will not be seen from public rights-
of-way as identified in Sgction (B)(I). In addition, an application shall be consistent with the
lighting regulations identified in the Pitkin County Land Use Code.
Response: As part of the redesign of the parking and circulation facilities in front of the Main
Terminal, the existing light fixtures will be replaced, The Airport Staff have received numerous
complaints about the lighting in the parking areas. The existing lighting system leaves large dark
areas and represents an unsafe condition especially for women, Improving safety and security for
airport users is one of the objectives ofESID, The ESID proposal also includes Taxiway lighting for
the relocated Taxiway A and the Deice Apron. The Airport is also proposing runway end identifier
lights (REILS), All of these lighting elements are described in the following paragraphs.
The existing lighting system for the area near the Main Terminal is illustrated on the EXISTING
LIGHTING PLAN (Figure 18), There are four types of existing fixtures depicted on this plan, The
green symbols represent 20 to 25-foot tall fixtures. A photograph of this fixture is provided as Figure
19, These fixtures are located in the Long-term/Employee parking lot and on the tarmac south of the
Main Terminal. The yellow symbols depict 1O-12-foot high round down light fixtures (see Figure
20), These are the fixtures used in the Short.term Lot and Rental Car Ready Lot. The third fixture
type is a I 0-12-foot tall square downlight (see Figure 21), These are used to light the walkways in
front of the Terminal and around the commercial vehicle circle. The last fixture type is a bollard
fixture and is shown as a small red circle on Figure 18, As shown on Figure 20, the light source on
the fixture used in the Short.term Lot is exposed, This is why on foggy or snowy evenings the
Airport emits a large glow, The fixtures used in the Long.term/ Employee Lot are also relatively tall
(20 to 25 feet), This allows the light source to be seen from a greater distance,
The lighting scheme designed as part of the ESID improvements will provide more uniform light for
the parking areas and walkways and will eliminate the fixtures with visible light sources, Several
alternatives were examined for lighting of the redesigned parking and circulation areas in front of the
Aspen/Pitkin COllnfy Airport - ESID 68
Master Plan Amendment, GMQS Exemption, Scenic Overlay & Special Review Application
Main Terminal. The scheme selected is shown on the PROPOSED LIGHTING PLAN (Figure 22).
The proposed fixtures are illustrated on Figures 23 and 23a, These drawings show two alternatives
for the aesthetics of the fixtures but the lighting characteristics would be the same for both. The
Airport is seeking direction from the Planning Commission and the Board as to which of these design
themes should be pursued in the final design, The following discussion would apply to either of the
proposed alternatives.
All of the pole-mounted fixtures are proposed to be 14 feet tall. The lamp fixture is shielded and will
comply with Section 3-110-120 of the Land Use Code. Figure 22 depicts the actual light distribution,
which was determined using a computer-modeling program for this particular type of fixture. The
actual computer print out is included as Exhibit G. As illustrated on Figure 22 the proposed lighting
scheme provides uniform light with the least amount of overlap, This plan requires a total of 50 pole
-mounted fixtures, seven of which have double fixtures, Currently there are 41 fixtures in the Long-
term/Employee Lot, Short-term Lot and commercial vehicle loop areas, If these fixtures 15 have
exposed light sources and 10 are 20 to 25 feet in height. Even with nearly as many fixtures the
existing lighting at the airport is inadequate,
The FAAA is requiring the installation of Taxiway edge lighting as part of the relocation of Taxiway
A, These lights will be installed 10 feet from the edge of the pavement and will be spaced no more
than 200 feet apart. The fixtures will be approximately 24 to 30 inches tall in order to keep the light
source above snow level. TIW light source is a relatively low level, blue light. For the most part,
these fixtures will not be visible from Highway 82, The fixtures located around the edge of the deice
pad will be shielded on the Highway 82 side to minimize visibility from the Highway, The FAA is
also requiring that runway end identifier lights (REILs) be installed on the south end of the runway,
The location of these lights is shown on Figure 7, There are currently REILs at the north end of the
runway, The REILs are low profile strobe lights that can be controlled by the pilots of inbound
aircraft to identify the runway threshold during low visibility or night landings, The fixtures are 20
to 30 inches tall and are located near the end of the runway. As was done with the REILs on the
north end of the runway, the light source can shielded to reduce visibility from ground level. This
will minimize the impact of these lights from the Highway, Both the runway edge lighting and the
REILs are being proposed as required by the FAA to satisfy safety criteria,
9. Landforms and earth moving shall generally not be acceptable as the sole measure of
compliance with these regulations. However, they may be utilized in conjunction with other
site techniques designed into the development plan. These methods may be acceptable when
utilized as one of several methods to complement and enhance development, rather than as the
single device for screening development from view from the State Highway 82 Corridor and as
mapped.
Response: Figure 17 is the Proposed Landscape Plan and illustrates the areas where plantings are
proposed as part of a comprehensive plan to both screenlfilter views of the Airport facilities from
Highway 82 and to improve the overall appearance of the Airport, As part of this plan, efforts have
been to preserve existing berms, However, some of the berms in the area in front of the Terminal
will be removed to accommodate the redesigned parking and circulation system. Where berms are
proposed to be removed, additional landscape plantings are proposed to help fill the void created by
removing the berm, One such situation is in the area where the Rental Car Ready Lot is proposed, In
this case, the berm, which is currently located between the Commercial Vehicle loop and the frontage
Aspen/Pitkin CovntyAirporf- ESID 69
Master Plan Amendment, GMQS Exemption, Scenic Overlay & Special Review Application
road, will be mostly removed. Figure 29 is a photograph of this area taken from the shoulder of
Highway 82 at a point across from the south access for the AABC, The left hand side or south end of
this berm will be retained. To compensate for removing a portion of this berm, numerous deciduous
and evergreen trees are proposed as depicted on the Proposed Landscape Plan, Note that the
proposed trees are depicted as symbols with a small dot in the middle on the Plan, Other measures
are also used to minimize the visual impacts ofthe ESID project improvements including careful
location of improvements, where possible, in areas of the site that are not visible or are minimally
visible.
10. Whether the proposed development has been designed so as to avoid, to the maximum extent
possible, any Scenic Viewplane identified on the State Highway 82 Corridor Master Plan and
Down Valley Comprehensive Plan.
Response: Scenic Viewplanes were mapped as part of the Downvalley Plan, There is no scenic
Viewplane mapped in this area, The nearest mapped Scenic Viewplane is located just downvalley of
the castle/Maroon Creek Road roundabout intersection and preserves a view of Pyramid Peak,
11. In the case where 1041 hazard areas may be in conflict with preservation of scenic areas, the
Board acknowledges that 1041 issues take precedence over scenic concerns. These issues shall
be reviewed on a case by-ease-basis.
Response: There are no kno~n 1041 issues associated within the area of the proposed
improvements.
Lot Line Adjustment (Section 3-190-030)
In 1992 the Airport applied for, and was granted, subdivision exemption approval under the "essential
community facility" provision, The subdivision was sought to accommodate a long-term lease with
Aspen Base Operations. Any lease with a term of20 years or more is considered a "subdivision" under
the definitions section of the Pitkin County Land Use Code. The 1992 approval created two lots (Lot I
and Lot 2), one to accommodate the lease with ABa and one to allow the potential for a second FBO at
some future date. Figure 31 is an attachment to the 1993 lease agreement between the County and
Aspen Base Operations and shows the configuration of the two lots. As part of the background research
for ESID it was discovered that the plat for this subdivision was never filed with the County Clerk and
Recorder's office.
The 1998 Airport Layout Plan analyzed the impacts of accommodating the changes in safety standards
mandated by the FAA and identified the need to adjust the lot lines approved in 1992, These lot line
adjustments were approved in concept in the 1998 ALP and are depicted on figure IV -8 of that document
(Figure 32), The lot line adjustments are necessary since the areas leased to ABa must correspond to
the areas actually used for ABa operations, The changes reflect the expansion of general aviation
aircraft parking into the existing long.term and employee parking lot and the relocation of Taxiway A,
We are seeking final approval of these and other more minor adjustments to the lot lines for Lots I in this
application, Figure 10 shows the lot lines proposed to accommodate the ESID improvements, Since the
plat for the original subdivision exemption was not recorded a subdivision exemption plat with the

adjusted lot lines, as depicted on Figure 10, will be recorded subsequent to approval of ESID by the
Board of County Commissioners,
There are two options for considering this matter under the Land Use Code, given the fact that the
original plat was not recorded. One is to simply acknowledge that the original subdivision exemption
was never memorialized and seek subdivision exemption approval for the adjusted lot lines as though no
previous subdivision has occurred. The standards for approval of a subdivision exemption for essential
community facilities are the same as those for growth management exemption for essential community
facilities. Compliance with these criteria has been addressed previously in this application, Further, the
County granted this same approval in 1992 and since nothing has changed in the interim, other than the
adjustments to the lot lines, which were conceptually approval in 1998, it is clear that the criteria for
approval of this subdivision exemption are satisfied.
The other option would be to assume the previous subdivision approval exists and to seek approval for a
subdivision exemption for a lot line adjustment. The criteria for lot line adjustment approval are listed as
follows:
. The adjustment creates not more than the original number of lots or parcels;
. The purpose or effect of the lot line adjustment is not the creation of a new lot or parcel,
nor any increase in floor area ratio for a parcel which gains in size, nor creation of a lot or
parcel substantially different in size for development or resale purposes;
. In the case of conforming lots and parcels any resulting lot or parcel shall conform to the
minimum requirements for area or width established by the provisions of the Code;
. In the case of substandard size lots or parcels, the resulting lots or parcels may increase in
non-conformity as to lot size so long as the other standards of the this code continue to be
met;
. A lot line adjustment shall not be used to increase the floor area ratio for a parcel that
increases in size due to the adjustment. The floor area ratio will be reduced on a parcel
that decreases in size due to the adjustment. Application to add floor area ratio to a lot or
a parcel are considered to be major amendments.
The proposed adjustments to the lot lines for Lots I and 2 satisfy all of these criteria. There will be no
change to the number of lots and no significant change in the size of the lots. The size of lots within the
Public zone district is established by special review and, therefore, the criteria regarding conforming and
nonconforming lots is not applicable. No increase in floor area is sought in connection with the proposed
lot line adjustments,
Other Code Sections of Importance
Setback from Hwy 82: 100'-200' issues (Section 3-50-020)
The ESID project includes improvements located within the 200-foot setback from Highway 82,
including the general aviation apron expansion that replaces the existing long.term and employee parking
lot. Some of these improvements will require a variance from the setback regulations, A separate
application for variance will be filed with Community Development Department upon approval of the
ESlD land use application by the Board of County Commissioners.

1041 Environmental Hazards (Section 3-80)
There are no geologic hazards mapped for the Airport property and no areas of slopes greater than 15
percent will be disturbed as a result of the proposed ESID improvements, The 2000 AACP includes a
"wildlife and biodiversity" map, which identifies the Owl Creek corridor through the Airport as
"potentially significant habitat" for the Southwest Willow Flycatcher. Since Owl Creek is diverted into a
culvert through a large portion of its length through the Airport, it is unlikely that this portion of Owl
Creek qualifies as "significant." Furthermore, there is a conflict inherent in the concept of regulating or
preserving bird habitat in close proximity to an airport runway, Lastly, while Pitkin County does
regulated development activity relative to wildlife habitat, this is not among the wildlife species
identified for regulation in the Land Use Code and, therefore no mitigation is required.
Signs (Section 3-110-130)
New sings will be designed as part of the redesign of the parking and circulation system in front of the
Main Terminal building, In order to establish a uniform design theme at the Airport, a palette of lighting,
signs and other landscape elements is being developed. A detailed sign plan will be submitted for review
by the Community Development Department and County Engineer prior to installation of any new signs,

DATE: 2/0 I/O 1
RE: Review Of Past Approvals For The Pitkin County Airport
The Pitkin County Community Development Department has a significant series of case
files that document land use reviews and approvals for the Pitkin County Airport. My
research over the course of the past several weeks has focused primarily on those
approvals granted since 1992. However, I believe that the adoption of the 1989 Master
Plan still reflects a significant turning point for the planning and design of this facility.
Moreover, this Master Plan has not been formally updated since that date, despite a
volume of amendments as documented below.
The goal of this memo is to highlight significant approvals and their relative importance
in future reviews. The Airport is presently engaged in the design level planning of
several significant changes on the East Side of the property. These changes were
represented and considered in preliminary form in 1998 via the Airport Layout Plan
Update (see BOCC Resolution 98-67 described herein). Additional planning efforts will
be initiated this year with respect to an overall reconsideration of the Airport Master Plan.
That planning effort is expected to commence in early summer, and will expand the
planning of the east side, and the remainder of the airport property.
BOCC Approvals
RESOLUTION 92-215:
This approval, by the Board of County Commissioners (BOCC), authorized GMQS,
Subdivision Exemption and Special Review Approval (partial Tabled) for the following
key development:
· Demolition of 58,000 sf ofFBO/GA facilities; and
· Reconstruction/replacement, reconfiguration and relocation of approximately 41,900
sf in FBO/GA facilities and the reservation ofGMQS Exemptions for an additional
20,940 sf of future potential facilities (18,900 sf toward a second FBO and 2,040 sf
toward a rental car service facility).
1
Resolution 92-215 inCludes approximately ten conditions (plus sub-conditions). The
document should be referenced in its entirety for those who wish to completely
understand its implications; however, in summary, the following key issues were
addressed:
· Affordable Housing Mitigation requirements: No immediate mitigation was required.
One year after commencement of operations of the first FBO, an audit of employees
was required. Ifmore than 47 FTE's were discovered upon audit, immediate
mitigation of the additional employees is required. Both FBO's would be required to
mitigate employees at the time of commencement of operations by a second FBO
(13.45 by the first FBO and 6.95 by the second FBO).
· Further reviews of the following issues: Traffic construction impacts, site
drainage/erosionllandscaping, auto traffic circulation patterns, parking areas and
driveways, water service issues relating to the City of Aspen, sewer service extension
issues, and a hazardous materials and emergency response plan were all required to
be further analyzed and addressed in a subsequent Special Review application.
· No net increase in GA aircraft capacity: This resolution set forth Clearly that no
increase in GA aircraft ramp, parking, tie down or storage (indoor or outdoor) was
allowed; nor would any increase in then existing commercial (GA) floor area.
· GMOS Exemption: This resolution outlines, in great detail, the amount of square
footage exempted for airport facilities then under discussion.
1. A total of 41 ,900 sf was exempted in this resolution for "Present
Construction." This exemption fell into the following categories:
o ARFF: 7500 sf
o 1st FBO:* 24,400 sf as follows:
14,400 sf storage hangar
5,000 sf terminal
5,000 sf maintenance hangar
o SFBO Terminal/Hangars: 5,000 sf
o Non-Aero Commercial T-Hangers: 5,000 sf
TOTAL:
41,900 sq ft
[*NOTE: the resolution reached the 24,400 sf size by allocating square footage from
the existing FBO, some demolished space previously identified as essential
community facility, and some of the previous Road and Bridge building, even though
that R&B building had already been used as an exemption for the facility constructed
across Hwy 82.]
2
Although granted in concept, further GMQS exemption was authorized for a seconf
FBO. However, a supplemental application would be required which may include but
not necessarily be limited to, Special Review, mitigation measures for GMQS
exemptions, amendment to the Airport Master Plan, and Subdivision Exemption.
The future reserved GMQS was broken down as follows:
o Second FBD: A total of 18,900 sf as follows:
· Storage Hangar:
· Terminal/maintenance hanger:
14,400 sf
4,500 sf
o Rental Car Wash/Service Facility: A total of2,040 sf.
The above 20,940 sf was accounted from the demolition of several buildings
including the FBO, Road and Bridge and Car Wash facilities.
· Subdivision Exemption: For a Lot I Airport FBO/GA Area Plat, conditioned on lease
by County to an FBO in excess of 19 years.
· Remaining Review: In a very unique manner, this Resolution called for further
special review immediately following FBO procurement. In the airport's land use
application (pages 25-26) the airport proposed, and the BOCC approved a deferred
review for scenic foreground, further GMP allotments (if desired by a future FBO)
and special review for a second FBO and car wash facility. The Resolution permitted
this deferral process, but stated that iffuture applications deviated substantially from
this application, all issues and conditions could be revisited.
The application (dated March, 1992) submittedfor this approval is a unique and
important historical document. 1t includes the history and explanation of past Master
Plans; the concept and strategy for a sequential bid process for two FBD 's; the strategy
and concept behind the adopted minimum standards; and, the best cataloguing of past
developments and proposed reconstruction ofGA, AARF and Car Wash buildings.
Resolution 93-69: This approval completed the review commenced in Reso 92-215.
Specifically, it granted Special Review approval for the "remaining" issues of that prior
resolution, as well as authorizing subdivision exemption for both FBO lots (lots I and 2).
This resolution works in companion with the Planning and Zoning Commission scenic
overlay approvals for the GA development contained in PZ-93-11. Among the condition
of approval for the ABO special review Were:
· Submission of a fuel farm safety and operating plan;
· Recitation of the same employee mitigation requirements as stated in 92-215.
Specifically, this resolution called for an audit of ABO to determine ifmore than
47 employees were generated, and immediate mitigation in that event. It also
called for future mitigation by both FBO's upon commencement of operations of
a second FBO.
3
· Compliance with Environmental Health conditions regarding water, septic, air
quality, etc.
· Submission of a fugitive dust control plan and earthmoving permits for proposed
berms; and
· Board of Adjustment approvals if necessary.
Resolution 93-135: Resolution Clarifying employee mitigation for ABO based on
contribution to W/] housing units. ABO sought to liquidate its affordable housing
obligation, which may have been triggered if and when a 2nd FBQ commences operation.
ABO had contributed to the construction of units at the W/] in 1989, such that ABO
received the right of first refusal on five (5) units. The BOCC agreed to the proposal,
with changes. Changes inCluded requiring six (6) two bedroom units to have new
updated deed restrictions consistent with Category 3 restrictions, ABO buy down ofthe
difference between category 2 and 3 of50% of its obligation, or $99,025 (which inCluded
recognition of a previous credit worth .9 employees).
[NOTE: Upon sale of the W/J units in the late 1990 's, ABO sought BOCC clarification
of this Resolution. The Housing Office is researching the outcome of that decision and
whether an audit has ever been completed as caUedfor in Resos 92-215 and 93-69.]
Resolution 93-137: This Board action Clarified the definition of commercial square
footage as stated in Reso 92-215. Basically, the airport and ABO sought to Clarify what
qualified for the GMQS square footage exempted in 92-215, since terms such as building
area, commercial floor area, and interior square footage were never defined. Moreover, a
question of net usable space that had been demolished had been complicated by a
proposed "melting pot" approach to the GMQS formula. The resolution basically
allowed for additional commercial square footage for the FBO by creating a new
definition for "Net Leasable Commercial Space" that discounted space for such areas as
bathrooms, mechanical areas, stairways, overhangs, circulation areas such as lobbies or
corridors and non-exClusive storage areas. Up to 1500 sf of new space for both the ABO
terminal and SIFBO building (for a total of 6,500 sf, each) were in essence added to the
previous approvals.
Resolution 94-63: BOCC granted special review approval for the car wash and fueling
facility in this resolution. This approval was a companion to PZ-94-04, which granted
scenic foreground. Conditions address water and sewer adequacy, drainage, on-site
septic and wash water recyCling, a fuel spill wastewater system, and buried utilities.
Interestingly, an aviation easement was required; even though the facility sits on airport
owned land.
Resolution 94-130: This approval permitted the development of a 440 parking space
intercept parking lot for Aspen bound vehiCles traveling on Hwy 82. The approval
technically amended the Public zone district and the Airport Master Plan, approved a
GMQS Exemption (with required mitigation), and granted both scenic foreground and
special review. The lot sat on 6 acres bought with FAA funds. The development
required, and received, FAA approval through a letter from Nance Early (letter from
4
Iii
Early dated 6/13/94). The lot was (and still is) a component of the City of Aspen and
Pitkin County State Implementation Plan (SIP) to the EPA for reduction ofPM-IO.
However, amendments to that plan are anticipated through the adoption of a new
maintenance SIP, which will remove this lot as a PM-IO mitigation measure.
There are some outstanding issues still being researched, inCluding whether a lease
between the County and City was ever executed for this lot, and is still in effect.
Moreover, Reso 99-79 (see below) amended the lot, inCluding its size and configuration,
to accommodate relocation of the rental car storage lot.
The intercept facility only operated with dedicated transit service for two years.
Nonetheless, the conditions of approval from 94-130 still affect the lot. In general, they
required the dedication of an affordable housing unit to off-set the generation of 3 FTE;
prohibition of special events, temporary commercial uses, overnight truck or auto parking
or material storage (except as amended in Reso 99-197 summarized below); reClamation
of site iflot terminated; and, amendment to the ALP. A subsequent approval on 9/13/94
by the BOCC overrode a Board of Adjustment denial for a setback variance for the bus
shelters and parking office kiosk.
Resolution 96-182: This scenic foreground and special review approved relocation of
the ABO storage Hangar and Maintenance Shop. It allowed the storage hangar and
maintenance uses to be separated into two buildings, and for the exchange of 700-800 sf
from the storage hangar to the maintenance building. The result was 13,600-13,700 sffor
the storage hangar, and 5700-5800 sf permitted for the maintenance hangar. The primary
condition pertained to landscaping requirements. This approval left the siting of the T-
hangar unresolved. This issue was later addressed in PZ-97 -03 by combining the T-
hangar space with the new storage hangar.
Resolution 98-67: This resolution granted a Master Plan amendment and special review
for the car wash and fueling facility. The approval required compliance with Reso 94-
63 (see above), PZ-94-04 and administrative approval 407281. This resolution also
approved in concept the 1998 ALP. The resolution required the ALP to be amended to
show transit and pedestrian corridors between the Highway, the RFT A bus shelter and the
terminal, as well as a proposed station for light rail. All projects described in phases I, II
and III of the ALP were required to obtain further special review.
Resolution 99-79: This approval granted scenic foreground, special review and a minor
amendment to the Master Plan. The development inCluded expansion of the air carrier
apron at the south end of the runway; expansion of the GA apron on the north end by
placing fill material; additional filling to the south of the intercept lot; placement of two
40' light poles on the expanded air carrier apron and relocation of an existing 40' light
pole; and, the relocation of the lower rental car storage lot. The effect of the changes to
the rental car storage lot was the reduction of the intercept parking lot to 161 spaces. The
special review called for the construction of new intercept bays (for a total of281 spaces)
to offset the loss of spaces to rental car storage. What have become somewhat standard,
5
conditions inCluded fugitive dust control, lighting plans to shield light sources, an
earthmoving permit, and revegetation and landscaping.
Resolution 2000- : On 3/8/00 the BOCC approved a scenic overlay and special
review approval for:
· Paving of the expanded northern GA apron;
· Temporary aircraft parking along the north end of the apron during paving;
· Installation of 45 low level bollard light fixtures;
· Development of a GA pilot parking lot outside the FAA security fence (toward
Hwy 82); and,
· Relocation of 570' of fencing around the new apron.
Conditions addressed drainage and erosion control, fugitive dust control, shielding the
bollard lights, revegetation of disturbed areas, landscaping, traffic control planning for
Construction vehiCles, reclamation of the temporary apron within 90 days of the
completion of paving, and Board of Adjustment approval for Hwy 82 setback infractions.
PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISION APPROVALS
A series ofPlartning and Zoning Resolutions were approved since 1992. In some cases,
the Planning and Zoning Commission ("P&Z") actions were recommendations to the
BOcC. Only one such resolution is cited below since these resolutions are essentially
superceded by the final actions of the BOCC as described above. The remaining
summarized resolutions represented final actions that were under the purview of the P&Z
(such as in scenic foreground approvals).
PZ-92-20: This Reso mirrored BOCC approval 92-215, and recommended approval of
the FBO/GA redevelopment described above. Since the P&Z acted in a recommending
body function, the Reso is superceded for all intent and purposes by the BOCC approval.
PZ-92-28: This approval granted final scenic foreground approval for the AARF
building. The conditions of approval became routine for the airport, and addressed such
issues as height and size restrictions, building materials, a lighting plan and a landscape
plan.
PZ-93-11: This final scenic approval covered the buildings associated with the first FBO
(aka ABO). These structures inCluded the GA Terminal, Aircraft Storage Hangar,
Maintenance Hangar, T-Hangers and the Specialized FBO. The conditioned followed the
same categories as PZ-92-28, but were specific to these buildings. Size, height,
landscaping, lighting and building materials were all addressed. Additionally, financial
securities to guarantee the landscaping improvements were required of the ABO.
PZ-94-04: This scenic final approval addressed the carwash and fueling facility. BOCC
Resolution 94-63 was a companion approval for this improvement. This scenic review
6
included conditions that addressed landscaping, lighting, revegetation of disturbed areas
caused by utility trenching, and building materials.
PZ-97-03: This approval granted a minor amendment to the Master Plan and scenic
approval for the ABO general storage hanger. This application sought to combine the
commercial T-hangar into the new storage hangar. It specifically required the ABO to
house 4 tenant aircraft.
ADMINISTRATIVE APPROVALS
Minor developments are approval by the Director of Community Development in certain
cases. The following such director approvals were discovered.
Approval of Minor Amendment for the FAA Rotating Beacon: This approval was
granted on 12/9/92, and allowed the beacon to be located on the roof of the terminal.
Administrative Decision 99-9: This approval allowed the replacement of the approved
T-hangar space within the Storage Hangar with the S/FBO, and construction ofT-Hangar
space in the previously approved location for the SFBO. Size and height limitations were
conditions of approval, as was landscaping.
Administrative Decision 59-2000: Found that a 455 sf addition to the terminal building
for airport administration offices had negligible growth impacts and was generally
consistent with the Master Plan.
