MEMORANDUM
TO: Aspen Planning and Zoning Commission
FROM: Colette Penne, Planning Office
RE: Upper Elementary School - Conditional Use
DATE: September 20, 1983
Background
In August of 1982, you reviewed the use of the Upper Elementary
School for occupation by several groups for office space and
meeting rooms. The building is located in the R-6 zone, in which
both a public school and a public administration building are
conditional uses. Also included in the conditional use category
for the R-6 zone are churches and day care centers. All of the
uses you approved in the 1982 review were found to fit into one
of these conditional use categories. The conditional use permits
were given until August 31, 1983, and at your meeting of August
16, 1983, you extended the deadline to September 20, 1983.
Referral Comments
The City Attorney suggests that a yearly conditional use review
and permit process be held for this building until it is used
totally by the school again. The main purpose of running uses
through the conditional use/public hearing process is to provide
for neighborhood input on their operation. He commented that we
might need more information on the Energy Center, Film Fest, Arts
Council and Wilderness Workshop regarding funding or programs to
fit them into "public administration/school" categories.
The Engineering Department felt the only item of concern is the
potential conflict between the traffic generated by offices at
this location and the children attending kindergarten classes in
the same building. It may be appropriate to consider a designated
parking area for the use of office workers and visitors and some
circulation work.
Planning Office Review
There are no new uses proposed, except extended use by the school
for kindergarten classes in the building. The school also occupies
space for their district offices which use the entire west end of
the building and anticipate doing so for years. The school
district has spent approximately $40,000.00 on structural work
and plans to continue investment into the maintenance of the
facility for future use. Enrollment figures are showing a slight
increase, and the district states in their application that
"should our program needs continue to grow at the elementary
school, we will continue to expand into the upper elementary
school building." The short range plans for the building leave
space available for rental purposes.
The attached letter from the school district outlines the tenants
and pertinent information concerning their operations. The
conditional use criteria were considered in initially allowing
these uses to occupy this structure. This annual review was
scheduled for the primary purpose of securing comment from the
V
MEMO: Upper Elementary School - Conditional Use
September 20, 1983
Page Two
the R-6 zone. The two applicable conditional use criteria deal
with the compatibility of these uses with surrounding land uses
and whether the objectives and purposes of the R-6 district are
impacted. If an adverse,impact is being realized by the neighbor-
hood, the public hearing process should inform you of it.
The school district estimates that a minimum of 20 cars can be
parked on their property. They will bring a parking plan to the
meeting to discuss a suggested arrangement. At present, some
employees in the building and most visitors park on the street.
The point raised by the Engineering Department concerning inter-
action of kindergarten children and automobiles is very critical.
If the employee parking is limited to the rear of the building
and west side and any playground areas physically defined and
restricted, this problem may be solved. Visitors should either
not use the rear area of the building or warning signs should be
clearly posted.
Planning Office Recommendation
We are not aware of public sentiment on these uses until after
the public hearing, so in the absence of any information on
impacts which we may learn in that process, we would recommend
conditional use approval for all tenants included in the applica-
tion with the following conditions:
1. The conditional use permit will be for a one-year
period, with renewal subject to review; and
2. Parking for employees be designated at the rear and
west of the building, with childrens' play areas safely
defined.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Colette Penne, Planning Office
FROM: Jay Hammond, City Engineering
DATE: August 30, 1983
RE: Upper Elementary School Building Conditional
Use Review
---------------------------------------------------------
Having reviewed the above application, and made a site
inspection, the Engineering Department has the following
comment:
It would appear from the letter that the School Board
contimplates further office use of the Upper Elementary
School building. The only item that we would identify as
a concern is the potential conflict between the traffic
generated by offices at this location and the children
attending kindergarten classes in the same building. It
may be appropriate to consider a designated parking area for
the use of office workers and visitors in combination with
the street closures used to reduce area traffic. Depending
on the number of children using the site and the areas
where they will be allowed to play, some circulation work
may be appropriate.

Dear Mr. Harvey,

James W. Burks, Superintendent
Thank you for your letter dated May 26, 1983, reminding us of our
obligation to correspond with you concerning our planned use of
the upper elementary school building.
Please consider the following information regarding our plGns:
1. Beginning in August, 1983, we will prepare for and house three
kindergarten classes in the building. There will be four
classroom areas and a total of six spaces plus the gymnasium
dedicated to that purpose. The program will continue to
occupy those spaces for an indefinite number of future years.
2. The school district offices, including the superintendent,
business manager and warehousing service, are currently
occupying the entire west end of the building and will
continue to do so for an indefinite number of years.
3. The district has elected to spend approximately $40,000 in
upgrading and reinforcement of the ceilings in the older
section of the building. This work was initiated in June and
will be completed this summer.
4. Plans are in the works to spend additional money on plumbing
and on repairVofthe gymnasium facility.
5. The district has made a commitment, evidenced by the above
points, to invest in and maintain use of the building for the
immediate future.
6. Our enrollment patterns have shown a slight increase, as have
others in Colorado, and we believe we will have need for
additional space in future years. The most logical solution
to our space needs is to retain the use of the Aspen Upper
Elementary School building.

7. Our short-range plans, 1983-84, find us with space available
for rental purposes. We must necessarily limit the number of
tenants, due to our own program space demands, and most of the
square footage in the building will be used for school
district purposes.
8. Our tenants in 1963-84 will be pre-school programs, plus
potentially the Aspen-Pitkin Building Department, Aspen Arts
Council, Roaring Fork Energy Center, Christian Science
Society, Aspen Wilderness Workshop, and the Film Fest.
9. Should our program needs continue to grow at the elementary
school, we will continue to expand into the upper elementary
school building.
We would be most happy to furnish you more information or to meet
with you to discuss this matter.
Sincerely,
James W. Burks
District Superintendent
