Chapter 5.04
BEER AND WINE LICENSING'
Editor's note—Ord.No. 50-1992, § 1,repealed the provisions of former Arts. I and Il,relative to liquor
licensing and beer licensing and enacted a new Art. I (Chapter 5.04) to read as herein set out. Ord. 50-
1992 further renumbered former Arts. III and IV as Arts. II and III (Chapters 5.08 and 5.12). The
provisions of former Arts. I and II derived from Ord.No. 35-1978, § 1.
Sec.5.04.010. Legislative intent.
The City Council hereby declares that the purpose of this Chapter is to protect the public health,
safety and welfare by requiring all persons desiring to sell or offer for sale any liquor or 3.2 beer to be
licensed by the City. The City Council intends that the City issue local licenses for sale of such
beverages, as authorized by state law and that the City's licensing requirements be consistent with those
for state licenses under state law. The City Council desires to promote responsibility in the consumption
of malt, vinous and spirituous liquors by its citizens and guests. The City Council's mission for the
separate local Local Licensing Authority is to ensure (a) that the needs of the community for licensed
premises are measured by free market economic forces and not arbitrary numerical limitations on new
licenses; (b)that the privacy rights of licensees and applicants of liquor license are fairly balanced against
the Authority's investigatory responsibilities; and (c) that educational efforts be implemented before
enforcement activity is undertaken whenever educational efforts are deemed appropriate and necessary.
The City Council desires that the separate Local Licensing Authority carry out its mission in as
streamlined a fashion as possible and that it seek to avoid the creation of new and burdensome paperwork
for either the City or its citizens. (Code 1971, §4-1; Ord. No. 50-1992, § 1; Ord.No. 8-1994, § 1)

For Aspen Next Gen Advisory Board Applicants:Must be
18 to 40 years old who live or work in Aspen
I desire the appointment for the following reasons:*
The historic fabric of Aspen is a critical part of its attraction and development. It is important that the history is recognized and
preserved in a way that still allows for the respectful development of the community. HPC plays a critical role in the regulation
of these development approvals. I also believe that it is very important to have all members of the community represented on
the commission. It is vital to have members of the local design and building industry involved to provide knowledge on the
construction and feasibility of proposals as well as their professional opinion of the architectural process when preserving our
past.

Kara P Thompson
What do you know about the Aspen Historic Preservation Commission or Planning&Zoning Commission?
During my time with Forum Phi, I have worked on a handful of historic projects in the West End and presented to HPC on
several occasions. I am very familiar with the Historic Preservation guidelines and have worked with Amy Simon on the
design development of projects in the past.
What interests you about serving on this commission?
Working as an architect, I believe it is important to be engaged not only in the development of our own projects,but to be
knowledgeable about the advancement of the community as a whole. It is important to have the perspective from multiple
generations of professionals on the commission to reflect how our community is evolving. As a younger member of the
Aspen community,I look forward to providing a perspective that is geared towards the future as well as respectful of the past.
What is your understanding of the public process related to community planning and/or the designation of historic
properties?
The City of Aspen has generated a set of design guidelines and zoning regulations for historic,residential and commercial
projects that the professional building community must follow. All developments are subject to multiple code sections,for
example an Aspen victorian residence in the West End would be subject to historic preservation guidelines,the residential
design standard,and floor area as calculated by Title 26 or specific deed restrictions on the property. These guidelines have
been created with input from the members of the community and are enforced by city staff. When a property owner desires to
undergo an improvement,they must receive approval from the necessary city departments and commissions in order to verify
that they fall in line with the community's expectations. For projects subject to review by HPC,the process typically begins by
meeting with a member of city historic preservation staff to review the project and discuss a pre-application that lists the
applicable code sections as well as the steps for final approval. For minor changes to historic structures,an administrative
approval can be granted. Otherwise,the project will be reviewed in front of HPC at a public hearing,with either one or two
reviews. These public hearings create an opportunity for the community to provide input on the project;the Commission can
then make a determination as to whether they follow the intent of the guidelines and regulations they fall under considering
the recommendations made by Staff.

Page 3 of 3
What are your skills or knowledge that will help improve the commission?
Having presented projects to the Commission,I believe there can be a certain amount of subjectivity by reviewers that is
more related to aesthetics and less a review of design conforming to the intent of the code. The goal of the Commission is to
review projects for their design intent and conformance to the code,not to project the reviewers'opinion of what the design
should be. I believe that while it is important to have a mix of members from the general public on the commission, it is also
critical to consider having members of the design and construction professions due to the more detailed level of
understanding that is required to evaluate code conformance as well as feasibility of the proposals and to provide constructive
commentary,and not simply opinions.
What is your general philosophy on the Aspen Area Community Plan?
The AACP gives a comprehensive vision for the future development of the area as envisioned by the community. The plan is
important to consider as policy changes are made as it is reflective of the community as a whole and not just the current
politics at the time.
This is a volunteer position that sometimes requires a lot of time and there is no compensation,how will you be able to commit
to this?
I am lucky to work at a firm that prioritizes involvement in the community. Adjusting my work schedule to accommodate the
regularly scheduled meetings will not be an issue,and I have significant flexibility during the day to attend site visits and lunch
meetings.

Launchpad in Carbondale. I have spoken at WRIT LARGE in Aspen,and have been a volunteer Wheeler Usher since 2015.
1 am still an active screen-writer.I have also been active in SKICO World-cup volunteering and Owned Colorado Heli-Ski(Vail
Summit County) when it was in Aspen briefly in Spring, 1993.Wheeler needs its own repertory theatre space which could
work with several good local theatre co.'s who need space.Wheeler could establish training programs for writer-actors in this
area and work with local directors like Corey Simpson at Thunder River who have limited similar programs. Instead of just
presenting events,Wheeler needs several programs like the above which will directly involve Aspen community members
I applied in Jan.,2018 for the only open board seat and Mayor Steve Skadron sent me a personal note urging me to re-apply
when more spaces were available.I AM IN CALIF.ON JAN.7TH,2018 THE INTERVIEW DATE,BUT CAN APPEAR ANY

Click her I recently attended Liz Gracia's presentation on
7 Surefire Strategies to Ignite Your Online Success"and found her
delivery impressively thorough, concise, and understandable, even
to someone like me, an author, speaker, and consultant in the
philosophical and spiritual arena without much of a flair for online
advertising.
Liz was able to address my most pressing marketing questions and
brought greater clarity to me than I have had before around the topic
of online marketing (and I have in been in business nearly 25 years).
After her lecture, I arranged for a follow up meeting,which has
resulted in our developing a working relationship. I am very

I desire the appointment for the following reasons:*
Honorable Mayor Skadron and City Council:
Thank you for this opportunity to be considered for a board to represent my demographic.Some of you may know that I
moved to Aspen in February of 2014 to work for the City.Over the past five years,I have come to love about this town for its
community and outdoor opportunities.As a former City of Aspen planner, I have become familiar with balancing the needs
and aspirations of this unique municipality.Presently, I am a preschool teacher at Mare's Playgroup at the Yellow Brick and I
have also started own land use and environmental planning firm,Conifer Planning. 1 enjoy occupying my time with skiing,
nordic skiing and skinning with my dog Driggs,binge listening to political podcasts/NPR,cooking,and mountain biking. I also
enjoy the many arts and science opportunities our town provides.
I meet the requirement for the board as 1 work at the Yellow Brick.I currently reside in Old Snowmass because I lost my City
housing when I took a new job.While I would really like to live in Aspen,the housing market is too tight and I was unable to
find anything remotely affordable that would allow a dog.
If I were appointed to the board, I feel I could provide a positive contribution as a liaison between government officials,
members of the board,and the public. I am very familiar with the land use code and could provide guidance in using the code
to effect change that would help support the Next Gen demographic.
As a member of the Next Gen demographic, I see the following issues as critical paths that must be repaired to retain the
government officials,skico employees,hospital employees,bartenders,concierges,entrepreneurs,teachers,and countless
others in our valley.
1. Reducing healthcare costs for those receiving employer-sponsored health care and the self-insured.As a 38 year old
woman,if I made just$49,000/year,the most affordable plan on the marketplace in Pitkin County is nearly$700/month with a
7000/max out of pocket.If the plan is to be fully utilized,the potential cost of the plan would be about$15,400 a year.This is
31%of the pre-tax income and frankly a far cry from affordable.Many employer-provided plans have a max out of pocket of
around$6,000/year,which represents about 12%of the gross income of a person making$49,000 a year.These are just
individual costs. If someone is chronically ill,such as someone that has Chron's which requires very expensive infusions to
live a normal life,or a diabetic that needs insulin to survive,they are hitting these figures every year. Imagine basically buying
a used car,every year. Its simply not sustainable.These costs make saving for a home or emergency impossible for my
demographic.I sincerely believe that our local government should be advocating at a state and national level for lower health
care costs for the Valley and would want to be a part of this process.
2. Housing.This topic has been discussed ad nauseam,but I would be failing myself and everyone else not to mention that
this would be an issue near and dear to my heart.
3.Child Care. I do not have a child;however,it does take a valley to raise one. Parents and children of the valley have
amazing access to programs such as AVSC and the ARC after school programs.The Yellow Brick is a wonderful facility
providing play and instruction for our tiniest minds.The development period between 2-5 is critical for social and emotional
behaviors.Many parents are unable to get into the programs at Yellow Brick due to very long wait lists,forcing financial strain
on a family as someone must stay home with the child.The inability to access affordable childcare is even more crushing for
a single parent.
Again,thank you for your time and review of my application. I greatly appreciate your consideration.
Respectfully,
Hillary Iza Seminick

1 desire the appointment for the following reasons:*
Next Gen Advisory Board,
I have wanted to move to Aspen since first visiting here in 2002 and finally realized that dream in March 2018.Since arriving
in Aspen,two things have surpassed my wildest expectations. First,the weather is incredible year-round.Second,and most
importantly,the people.In less than one year since arriving,my fiancb and I have built close relationships with so many
friends and colleagues.We talk about how amazing the people are here almost every day.
I have also been extremely lucky in continuing my career in Aspen.Quitting a job I loved in my hometown to move to Aspen
was only made possible because of a once-in-a-lifetime career opportunity. Not everyone who wants to move to,or continue
living in,Aspen are that lucky.And that is very unfortunate. It shouldn't take that type of luck for people who want to be here.
But the reality of housing and living costs in Aspen make that very challenging,especially for young people.
Now that my fiancL6 and I live here,we will never live anywhere else.1 feel a great amount of responsibility to help improve a
place that I love and has been so great to me.That is why I want to join the Next Gen Advisory Board.
Thank you,
Harris
