REsOLuTION #13, 2002- REMp SPENDING
CORE collects renewable energy mitigation fees from homebuilders who
want to use more energy than permitted by the Aspen/Pitkin Energy
Conservation Code. CORE is requesting approval of expenditUres of
$260,000 for energy saving projects. Councilman Semrau asked if there is a
breakdown on the amount of REMP funds collected between the city and the
county. Stephen Kanipe, chief building official, said it is not broken down
that way. Councilman semrau asked Who is eligible for SOlar water rebates.
Randy Udall, CORE, told Council this is a valley-wide program that existed
before KEMP funds and is available to any resident.
Councilman Semrau asked about the administrative fee. Udall told Council
this fee was set at 10% of the collections of REMP. This was an estimate
before the program began. Udall said the program has been much more
successful than anticipated. COKE is proposing one full time staffpoSition
be funded to work on KEMP and CORE Will hire a new person to work on
CORE issues. Councilman semrau Said he would like to see what type of
national information and programs CORE can bring to the Roaring FOrk

Valley. Councilman Semrau said he wouldlike a six-month uPdate rather
than an annual update.
Councilman Paulson moved to approve Resolution #13, Series of 2002;
seconded by CounCilman Hershey. All in favor, motion carried.
RESOLUTION #16, 2002 -Bavarian PUD Recordation ExtenSion
Joyce Ohlson, community development department, recommended an
amendment to this resolution from a 60-day extension for the recordation of
the PUD to a 180-day extension. Ms. Ohlson said this should be 180 days
after the approval of the Bavarian Inn PUD Amendment. Ms. Ohlson noted
the applicants are thinking about razing the Bavarian Inn, and it would take
more than 60 days to accommodate that request.
Councilman Semrau moved to approve Resolution # 16, Series of 2002,
amending it to read 180 days; seconded by Councilman Hershey.
Councilman Paulson said the city spent a lot of time on this project with a lot
of public input. Ms. Ohlson said this will go back through the process for a
PUD amendment. Ms. Ohlson noted the applicants do not propose 2o go
beyond the existing footprint. This process will be publicly noticed. Mayor
Klanderud said this project is tied to lots 3 and 5 of the Aspen Mountain
PUD and asked if this amendment would hold up the Grand Aspen project.
Ms. Ohlson said granting this extension would not relieve the applicants
from the connecteO~ess of lots 3 and 5 to the Bavarian Inn. Ms. Ohlson said
staff feels the timelines can still be met.
Sunny Vann, representing the applicants, told Council structural analysis of
the existing Bavarian showed it would be better to tear the building down
than refurbish it. Vaun reminded Council the neighbors wanted the existing
Bavarian torn down. Varm said the Bavarian will be replaced in the same
footprint with the same unit mix and unit count. Vann told Council the
applicants cannot get C/O for the Grand Aspen without a C/O for the
Bavarian. Councilman Paulson asked about protection of the trees on site.
Vann said as part of the approval, there is a tree removal plan and tree
protection measures.
All in favor, motion carried.

Regular Meetin~ Aspen City Council February 25~ 2002
RESOLUTION #18, SERIES OF12002 - EOTC i/2 Cent Transit Sales and
Use Tax Budget
Councilman McCabe said the collection fee of $88,000 is 21% of the entire
revenue, and this cost seem excessive. Randy Ready, assistant city manager,
said there arc 1.5 FTEs at the county. This is a labor intensive chore with a
lot of auditing and monitoring. Steve Barwick, city manager, told Council
there are more efficient ways to collect this tax. Staff would have to
investigate whether this can be done without going back to the electorate.
Barwick suggested the tax could be a percentage of the building permit.
Barwick agreed this is the most expensive type of tax of monitor.
Councilman Hershey said the city collects $4 million and there is $10
million in the EOTC fund~ The city went to the EOTC, asked for $250,000
and was denied. Councilman Hershey suggested the city remove themselves
from the EOTC and rescind the 1/2 cent sales tax. Councilman Hershey said
the citizens of Aspen may lose some bus service because the city cannot tap
into this surplus. Mayor Klanderud said the EOTC requested the City go
back and look at their expenditures to see if there could be reductions before
they approved Aspen's request. Mayor Klanderud said EOTC should
determine a long range policy on how these funds should be spent.
Councilman McCabe requested staff ask the county if the 1.5 FTEs for
collection of this tax is still justified2
Councilman Paulson moved to approved Resolution #18, Series of 2002;
seconded by Councilman Semrau. Councilmembers Semrau, Paulson and
Mayor Klandemd in favor; Councilmembers McCabe and Hershey opposed.

ORDINANCE #43, SERIES OF 2001 ' Oden de,~nexation
Chris Bendon, community development department, said this request to
disconnect fr°m the city arose out of questions about the development rights
in the city. Bendon told Council because of prior approvals, the Odens will
not have to go through accessory dwelling unit process for the vacant lot.
They will not have to go through the growth management process for this
vacant lot. Bendon sent a letter to the applicants outlining previous reviews
and approvals.
Carol Ann Kopf, representing the applicant, told Council they are very
pleased with the community development department staff and the
suggestions. Ms. KoPf Withdrew the petition for de-annexation.
ORDINANCE #1, SERIES OF 2002 ' Code Amendments Historic
Preservation
ORDINANCE #2, SERIES OF 2002 ' Historic PreserVation Benefits
Debbie Abele, historic consultant, noted she has been working with the city
for a year on designation of post World War II structures as well as the
historic process, the standards used, notice to the property owners, as well as
what happens once a property is designated. Ms. Abele said Ordinance #1
contains code amendments addressing the process problem issues. The
designation process will have more clear standards and objective ways of
evaluating properties. Ms. Abele said this prOcess will involve the property
owner, the community and Council looking at evidence to decide Whether
8 ~
Regular Meeting Aspen City COuncil February 25, 2002
properties merit being designated. If the case has not been made, Council
can choose not to designate a property.
Ordinance #2 proposes a set of benefits to offset the burdens of regulation.
Ms. Abele said the city will never have the perfect benefit package. Ms.
Abele noted city programs are for a civic good and achieving burden to a
property owner to meet a larger community goal. Ms. Abele said it has
never been said that the city should not be protecting the historic resources
in Aspen. Ms. Abele urged Council to move forward and to see how this
process works.
Amy Guthfie, community development department, reminded Council they
asked staff to investigate whether this program can be voluntary and/or
require owner consent for some or all of the properties and whether there
should be a minimum age criteria. Ms. Guthrie noted if owner consent were
only on past WWII buildings, there could be unfairness issues. Ms. Guthrie
said owner consent brings an arbitrariness into whether a building is
historically significant or not. There are standards in the new ordinance to
evaluate buildings.
Ms. Guthrie pointed out over 70% of the communities with historic
preservation do not require owner consem. Ms. Guthrie said the city has had
to enact moratoriums to save historic properties. The city lost over 40
buildings between 1980 and 1992; 260 buildings have been designated.
Ms. Guthrie said another ~ssue is the mimmum age for historic designation
and 50 years would eliminate most of the properties under discussion. There
are several properties currently designated that would not meet the 50 year
criteria, like the Aspen Institute and Herbert Bayer's work. Ms. Guthfie said
age should not be the sole evaluation in designation of buildings. Ms.
Guthrie said staffwould like to think carefully about which are the best
buildings that represent Aspen's history rather than reacting to demolition.
Councilman Semrau asked what the minimum age for structures to be
designated is in other communities with historic preservation programs. Ms.
Abele said it was 50 years in the early programs, which was the national
register criteria. As the programs have developed, age is less used as a
standard. The standard now is to demonstrate that a building is important.

Regular Meeting Aspen City Council February 25, 2002
Ms. Guthrie said at the last public hearing, there was a suggestion of doing
more than one lot split on very large properties. Ms. Guthrie said every
property that meets basic qualifications can do one lot split withOut going
through growth management. Beyond that one gets into mitigation for
affordable housing and competition in growth management. Ms. Guthrie
said staff cOuld continue to investigate this with the caution that this would
significantly increase development density. Ms. Guthrie presented a map of
the potential lot splits. The standardS are that a property has to be in a zone
district that allows lots splits; has to be a lot of the proper size, and the lot
cannot be subdivided previouSly.
Ms. Guthrie said another issue from the public hearing was TDR's and the
amount of square footage could be traded. Ms. Guthrie told Council staff
came up with 1 I0 TDRs of 250 square feet that could be used in a trading
program. This will be looked at during infill. Council might cOnsider
capping the TDRs early in the process to see how this will work.
Ms. Guthrie noted considering a waiver of the ADU requirement on historic
lot splits. Council agreed with this idea. Staff looked into whether this
should be retroactive and feels it should not and suggests it should be
enacted only for future projects. Ms. Guthrie said staff Will look into waiver
of park dedication fees to see how much revenUe that would be eliminating.
Alec Merriam, 805 Roaring Fork Road, said he feels the program should be
voluntary; discussing houses less than 50 years old is very subjective.
Merriam agreed with historic designation of Victorians. Merriam said he
does not feel Swiss Chalets nor kit houses are historic for Aspen. Merriam
said his house is in the "International style,, and the criteria seemed to be the
house was of good architecture. Merriam said he feels the system is unfair
and the benefits would not help him: If the city is going to make the
program mandatory, whY give any benefits. Merriam said he feels this is
subjective and is a taking.
Jackie Mastrangelo asked about the checklist to pre-screen the 20th century
buildings and Whether one has to get a check in different categories or two
check marks in one category. Ms. Mastrangelo noted every home in Aspen
would get a check in the 1st category so that should be eliminated. Ms.
Mastrangelo suggested the real estate transfer tax could be waived as a
benefit. Ms. Mastrangelo said LagUna Beach and Cannel both have
Voluntary programs. Monterey, California has a combined voluntary and
10
Regular Meeting Aspen City Council February 25, 2002
mandatory program. In the definitions of Monterey program, there is a
category to protect resources with local historic importance, which
importance could not be recognized outside the immediate area. The city
encourages preservation of those resources with incentives but the decision
to preserve them is left to the property owner.
Jack Simmons said properties that are historically preserved benefit the
entire community. Simmons said there may be properties that do not qualify
for any benefits and what would be the incentive to be historically
designated.
Councilman Hershey said he is a property rights advocate; however, if the
community loses historical properties it will not be the same community.
Councilman Hershey said all properties should be treated the same.
Councilman Hershey said he is not convinced post WWII properties should
be on the historic inventory.
Paul Taddune told Council many people thought all the historic designation
had been completed in the 1980's. Taddune said the city has done their jobs
when they have created historic districts, When they have created benefits,
and a voluntary program for post WWlI buildings.
Mayor Klanderud asked about forgiving the real estate transfer tax for
historically deSignated buildings. John WOrcester, city attorney, told
Council this would be deemed a "new RETT" and new real estate transfer
taxes are not allowed under the state law. Mayor Klanderud asked about
property taxes. Ms. Guthrie said property taxes have to be collected equally;
they could be refunded to historic properties. Staff has not looked into the
details of this benefit.
Mayor Klanderud said she would prefer a voluntary designation program
only on newer structures. The definitions and the criteria have to be very
clear with little room for subjective decisions. Mayor Klanderud said good
historic designation has to be the goal. Mayor Klanderud said the city
should relieve some of the burden of the property owner in some ways.
Ms. Abele said there are two separate issues. One is to fix the process, and
the second issue is whether this group of properties is important. Ms. Abele
said Council could also consider how many structures of the different
11
Regular Meeting Aspen Ci,ty Council February 25, 2002
categories they want to designate. These conversations should come with a
report on a specific property.
Councilman Hershey said the staff memorandum notes this program should
come back to the Council in a year. Councilman Hershey said not matter
what is passed, there should be an annual or semi-annual review.
Councilman Semrau said staffhas done a good job streamlining the process.
Councilman Hershey moved to continue Ordinances #1 and 2, Series of
2002, to March 11, 2002; seconded by Councilman Paulson. All in favor,
motion carried.
ORDINANCE #5, SERIES OF 2002 - Golf Course Fees
Steve Barwick, city manager, pointed out these fees have been reviewed and
agreed upon by the Golf Advisory Committee. The daily visitor's fee will
not go up because the work around the golf course is not complete.
Mayor Klanderud opened the public hearing. There were no comments.
Mayor Klandemd closed the public hearing.
Councilman Paulson moved to adopt Ordinance #5, Series of 2002, on
second reading; seconded by Councilman Hershey. Roll call vote;
Councilmembers Semrau, yes; Paulson, yes; Hershey, yes; McCabe, yes;
Mayor Klandemd, yes. Motion carried.
RESOLUTION #17, SERIES OF 2002 - Aspen Saturday Market
Chris Bendon, community development department, noted this is a new
program for the Farmer's Market. The Commercial Core and Lodging
Commission has been working on this concept and had a work session with
Council last fall. The Aspen Farmer's Market has operated the farmer's
market for the past 4 years. The packet contains a market program which
defines the uses and activities allowed, criteria for how food would be
approved, how the market would be laid out, how appeals work, and
information for the vendors. There is a draft 5 year vending license
agreement for with the Aspen Farmer's Market group.
Bendon told Council staff feels comfortable with the current farmer's market
group who has done this for 4 years. CCLC would like to be able to fill
12
Regular Meeting Aspen Ci,ty Council February 25, 2002
~mpty spaces with local booths. CCLC will rent space from the farmer's
market group and the CCLC will fill those booths with people who fit the
criteria in the program. Bendon said CCLC discussed expanding the market
one block to the east or to Connor park. This resolution does not approve
any physical expansion but suggests how this might be done with public
hearings at the CCLC.
Bendon said there is interest in having snacks or extra food items at the
market but not full meals that would compete with local restaurants. Bendon
told Council foods like roasted peppers would be allowed. Bendon said
there have been some complaints about vendors applying to the Aspen
Farmer's Market Group and being denied. These vendors could appeal to
the CCLC, who would be the final arbiter.
Bendon told Council there is concern from the farmer's group about the
availability o.frestrooms and hand washing facilities. A representative of
the Farmer's Market Group will have a key to city hall to allow farmers to
use the restrooms and hand washing facilities. Council expressed concern
about allowing access to city hall on weekends and the lack of security.
Bendon suggested an annual report to Council from CCLC on how this is
working. Bendon noted some P&Z members have concerns about
competition with existing businesses in town. Bendon pointed out there is a
provision that local businesses can apply for one of the CCLC booths. There
is continued concern about brokers where a third party, not the farmers, may
run a market. Bendon said more successful farmer's markets are the ones
run by farmers rather than vendors, There is concern about tackiness of arts
and crafts booths at some farmer's markets.
Jack D'Orio, representing the farmer's market, reminded Council this was
started with the concept this market be run by the farmers, not brokers. This
allows buyers to interact with the farmers. D'Orio said there is space
available for 2 to 3 medium booths and 2 small booths. This will fill up the
block.
Councilman Paulson asked if the location of the market can be moved.
Bendon said a new resolution would have to be adopted if the market is
moved. D'Orio said the problem with moving the farmer's market is
education of the buyers; however, they would be willing to look at a
different location if it is accessible. D'Orio told Council out-of-state produce
13
Regular Meeting Aspen City Council February 25, 2002
is not allowed in the market unless it has been a bad growing year. D'Orio
said the rules of the farmer's market organization are that 80% of what is
sold at the market has to be grown on that person's farm.
Councilman Paulson brought up the citizen comment about having more
organic produce at the market. D'Orio said the farmer's market group works
with people who apply and few organic growers apply. Bendon told Council
the spaces available to CCLC will only be those that are not filled by the
farmer's market group.
Council said they do not want the key available to city hall and asked staff to
look into other options for having restrooms with washing facilities
available. Mayor Klanderud requested Council review the farmer's market
at the end of the season. Bendon told Council this is a 5 year agreement.
The farmer's market is required to comply with the market program, which
can be changed. Worcester suggested a year-to-year license renewable
annually, automatically renewed unless the farmer's group is notified by
March. Council requested that expansion or relocation of the market come
before Council at a public hearing.
Councilman Hershey moved to approve Resolution #17, Series of 2002, with
the changes discussed; seconded by Councilman Paulson. All in favor,
motion carried.
Councilman Hershey moved to go into executive session for' conference with
the city attorney per C.R.S. 24-6-402(4)(a), continued negotiations and
