Third St. Aspen, CO 81611 970-544-7906 REPRESENTATIVE: Jim Curtis, Curtis & Associates 300 E. Hyman Ave. Aspen, CO 81611 970-319-0442 SUBJECT & SITE OF APPROVAL: Insubstantial Planned Development (PD) Amendment at 845 Meadows Road, Aspen CO 81611. ZONING: Academic/SPA SUMMARY: The applicant requests an Insubstantial Planned Development (PD) (formerly known as Specially Planned Area/SPA) Amendment to the Aspen Meadows SPA. The amendment will memorialize the Buckminster Fuller geodesic dome. The dome, which has existed on the Aspen Institute property since the 1960s, when it was used as a pool cover. In 1992, the pool was decommissioned and the dome was moved to an area south of the Crown and Arco Lodge buildings, where it fell into disrepair, until it was restored in 2011. After the dome was restored it was relocated to its present location east of Andersen Park, as shown in Exhibit A - Site Location. Restoration included repair of the frame and covering the dome in weatherproof canvas. The site was graded to level the surface and a pad of crusher fines (small, compacted rock) was placed for the dome floor. Tree removal was not required. The dome is used during the summer for smaller Institute functions such as meetings and retreats. The dome is canvas covered and the cover does not fully extend to the crusher fines floor. Furthermore, it is not a conditioned space and does not have electricity. An exterior electric box outside is near the dome and available to those utilizing the facility. STAFF EVALUATION: Geodesic domes have a long history at the Aspen Institute. Buckminster Fuller erected a geodesic dome during the 1952 International Design Conference. A fter the conference the dome was disassembled and relocated to Woods Hole, MA. A second canvas-covered .. dome was built in 1955 to cover a swimming pool located south of the Meadows Reception Center. Due to damage from the elements, the canvas cover was removed in the 1960s. In 1992, the swimming pool was in a state of disrepair and was filled in. The dome was then moved south of the Crown and Arco Lodge buildings. In 2011, the dome was restored and moved to a treed, private area with better proximity to existing Institute facilities. Restoration of the seasonal dome did not convert the space into a habitable, conditioned space; therefore, no dimensional changes, such as an increase of floor area, resulted from the restoration of the dome. The geodesic dome, despite its long history on Institute grounds, was not addressed in either the Aspen Meadows SPA or Ordinance 14, Series of 1991. However, because of its history and importance at the Aspen Institute; Staff funds that memorialization of the restored dome is consistent with the original approvals. Relocation of the facility to a more accessible location is considered a minor change. Staff finds the review criteria for an Insubstantial PD Amendment are met, as described in Exhibit B. DECISION: The Community Development Director finds the Administrative Application for an Insubstantial PD Amendment as noted above and on Exhibit A to be consistent with the review criteria (Exhibit B) and thereby, APPROVES the request.

An insubstantial amendment to an approved development order for a final development plan may be authorized by the Community Development Director. The following shall not be considered an insubstantial amendment: 1. A change in the use or character of the development. Staff Finding: Geodesic domes have a long history at the Aspen Institute. Buckminster Fuller erected a geodesic dome during the 1952 International Design Conference. After the conftrenee the dome was disassembled and relocated to Woods Hole, MA. A second canvas-covered dome was built in 1955 to cover a swimming pool located south of the Meadows Reception Center. Due to damage from the elements, the canvas cover was removed in the 1960s. In 1992, the swimming pool was in a state of disrepair and was filled in. The dome was then moved south Of the Crown and Arco Lodge buildings. Neither Ordinance 14, Series 1991 nor the Aspen Meadows Specially Planned Area (SPA) Development & Subdivision Agreement specifically address the geodesic dome; although this dome has been located on the property since 1955. The memorization of the dome retains the character of the PD because of the history ofthe element at the Aspen Institute. Staffjinds this criterion met. 2. The request is consistent with the conditions and representations in the project's original approval, or otherwise represents an insubstantial change. Staff Finding: Although not addressed in Ordinance 14, Series 1991 nor the aspen Meadows SPA, Stafffeels the memorialization of the restored dome is consistent with approval documents and preserves the history of this structure. The relocation of the dome to its present location allows for better access to the facility from other Institute.facilities and is considered to be an insubstantial change. Staffinds this criterion met. 3. The request does not require granting a variation from the project's allowed use(s) and does not request an increase in the allowed height or floor area. Staff Finding: The proposal does not require a variance be granted for this use. The geodesic dome is an existing element and a part of the history of the Institute property; therefore, the project would not increase floor area nor result in an increase of allowed height. This criterion is not applicable. 4. Any proposed changes to the approved dimensional requirements are limited to a technical nature, respond to a design parameter that would not have been foreseen during the Project Review approval, are within dimensional tolerances stated in the Project Review, or otherwise represents an insubstantial change. .. Staff Finding: The intent ofthe PD amendment is to memorialize an existing dome important to the history of the Institute. This criterion is not applicable. 5. An applicant may not apply for Detailed Review if an amendment is pending. Staff Finding: No amendments are pendingfor the subject property. Staffifinds this criterion met. Page 1 of 1 ..

Fl. Aspen, Colorado 81611 970-319-0442 Date: July 22,2014 .. BUCKMINISTER FULLER GEODESIC DOME RESTORATION AND RELOCATION I. APPLICATION SUMMARY This application is for the following: Code Section 1. Common Development Review Procedure 26.304 2. Planned Development 26.445 3. Planned Development Insubstantial Amendment 26.445.110A This application is illustrated by the drawings outlined below and inserted following the text of the application. 1. Existing Conditions & Context Plan 2. Geodesic Domes Photographs Outlined below are the application items we discussed at our January 17 Meeting with Chris Bendon and Jennifer Phelan. A. BUCKMINSTER FULLER GEODESIC DOME RESTORATION At the January 17 meeting, the Applicant was asked to document the restoration and relocation of the Buckminster Fuller Geodesic Dome shown on the attached drawing and photographs. Based on the documentation and research of the Applicant, a Fuller Dome was first erected on the Aspen Institute grounds circa 1952 as part ofthe International Design Conference Aspen. This dome was disassembled after the conference and relocated to Woods Hole, Massachusetts. Thereafter, a second dome was erected circa 1954/55 as a cover for a swimming pool located south o f the Meadows Reception Center as shown on the attached drawing and photographs. The swimming pool dome originally had a canvas cover that eventually collapsed due to snow and wind problems, and was replaced with 1 .. an open frame dome without a cover, circa 1960's. The open frame dome was later removed from the swimming pool in approx. 1992, and the swimming pool was filled-in because it was in major disrepair, was on a property no longer owned by the Institute, and the Institute was constructing a pool at the Health Center to replace this swimming pool. So, in approx. 1992, the open frame dome was relocated to an area south o f the Crown & Arco Lodge Buildings and the frame was in partial disrepair. It remained in this location until June 2011 when it was restored and relocated to its present location east of Anderson Park as shown on the attached drawing and photographs. There is a walkway path to the dome along the eastern edge of Anderson Park. The dome was restored and relocated to this location because it was a relatively hidden generally flat "pocket" surrounded by trees and very private. The site required modest grading to level and set the dome, and no trees were removed to set the dome. The site is very private, like a private retreat, for reflection and small group activities. The dome is only used in the summer and has no heat, no electricity, and a crusher fines floor. Located nearby is an exterior electric box that can be accessed if needed for small receptions, team building activities and/or small meeting discussions. During the summer activities, fire extinguishers are installed and maintained in the dome. The dome has been used sparingly to date for the smaller more private activities mentioned above. II. COMMON DEVELOPMENT REVIEW PROCEDURE, CODE SECTION 26.304 Applicant understands and agrees to the Common Development Procedures set forth in Code Section 26.304 and the Pre-Application Conference Summary. III. PLANNED DEVELOPMENT, CODE SECTION 26.445 In the 1980's the Aspen Meadows Property was designated a Specially Plan Area (SPA) under the City ofAspen zoning. In 1991/1992, under City Council Ordinance #14 (Series 1991) and "The Aspen Meadows" Specially Plan Area Development & Subdivision Agreement (Reception #340937), the City approved an updated SPA Plan for the property. Subsequently, the City changed the Specially Plan Area (SPA) zoning designation and nomenclature to Planned Development (PD). Therefore, this application is being reviewed as an Insubstantial Amendment to the approved 1991/1992 SPA Plan under the Planned Development provisions of the Municipal Code. 2 .. IV. PLANNED DEVELOPMENT INSUBSTANTIAL AMENDMENT, CODE SECTION 26.445.110A The criteria for an insubstantial amendment are addressed below as set forth in Code Section 26.445.110A. 1. The request does not change the use or character of the development. Applicant feels the proposed amendment does not change the use or character of the development. Domes and tent structures have been an important part of the Aspen Institute history since its founding in 1949. Restoring the dome is preserving and highlighting this long history. 1. The request is consistent with the conditions and representations in the project's original approval, or otherwise represents an insubstantial change. Applicant feels the proposed amendment is consistent with the original approval (and Institute's history) as noted above. Even though the 1992 SPA Development Plan does not specifically mention domes or tents, these types of structures have been part o f the Institute's history since its founding. 3. The request does not require granting a variation from the project's allowed use(s) and does not request an increase in the allowed height or floor area. Applicant feels the proposed amendment does not require a variance from the project's allowed uses and does not request an increase in the allowed heights or floor area. 4. Any proposed changes to the approved dimensional requirements are limited to a technical nature, respond to a design parameter that could not have been foreseen during the Project Review approval, are within dimensional tolerances stated in the Project Review, or otherwise represents an insubstantial change. Applicant feels the proposed amendment does not change the dimensional requirements ofthe project; are consistent with the original approval (and Institute's history); and is an insubstantial change helping to preserve the history of the Aspen Institute. 5. An applicant may not apply for a Detailed Review if an amendment is pending. Not applicable. 3 .. V.

APPLICANT agrees additional costs may accrue following their hearings and/or approvals. APPLICANT agrees he will be benefited by retaining greater cash liquidity and will make additional payments upon notification by the CITY when they are necessary as costs are incurred.

CITY and APPLICANT further agree that it is impracticable for CITY staff to complete processing or present sufficient information to the Historic Preservation Commission, Planning and Zoning Commission and/or City Council to enable the Historic Preservation Commission, Planning and Zoning Commission and/or City Council to make legally required findings for project consideration, unless current billings are paid in full prior to decision. 5. Therefore, APPLICANT agrees that in consideration of the CITY's waiver of its right to collect full fees prior to a determination of application completeness, APPLICANT shall pay an initial deposit in the amount of $ which is for hours of Community Development staff time, and if actual recorded costs exceed the initial deposit, APPLICANT shall pay additional monthly billings to CITY to reimburse the CITY for the processing of the application mentioned above, including post approval review at a rate of $245.00 per planner hour over the initial deposit. Such periodic payments shall be made within 30 days of the billing date.
