Butler and Bill Dinsmoor Were excused.
Minutes were handed out from the last meeting.
NEWSRACKS
City Attorney John Worcester addressed a memo that was handed out to the
board from the Historic Preservation Commission regarding the
proliferation of realestate and advertising newspapers. Newsracks can be
regulated by time and manner. Glenwood Springs ordinance and the draft
of the City of Aspen's ordinance was handed out for review for their next
meeting. It was suggested that the newsrack design be incorporated in the
first phase of the DEPP program.
John and Don brought up the idea of alternative placement for newpapers if
the approved sites are completely full. The attorney will review cases that
have gone to court.
Jon's concern is commercial publications. Can they be regulated or
eliminate them. The particular areas need to be outlined in the ordinance
and the board needs to site visit these areas in the future.
The design of the newspaper racks needs to be chosen and an appropriate
containment rack. Boulder went to plastic racks and Staff will research that
design.
Design Workshop is to be invited at the next meeting to incorporate
CCLC's concerns and see if they can be helpful in the design.
Issues to discuss with Design workshop.
Sensible community spots need to be incorporated.
Decide size and design.
How do people get access to the newspapers.
Style ofnewsrack insert.
COMMERCIAL CORE & LODGING COMMISSION, MINUTES OF
MAY 5, 1999
The attorney asked the Board to decide if the design Should be incorporated
throughout the town or just the core area. Some newsracks are on private
property and cannot be regulated.
Jon Busch's concern is the issue of commercial information. The attorney
will research and determine why cities were not successful in regulating
them.
Staff was directed to talk to Richard Shaw from Design Workshop regarding
the design and the issue of being in the historic overlay.
John said he was more concerned about the content of the ordinance as
opposed to the design of the rack and would rely on Design Workshop to
produce a design that encompasses both Boards concerns.
The attorney relayed that first reading could be ready sometime in June.
MALL LEASE - MIRABELLA
Doug Allen, attorney represented Mirabella Retaurant and the proposed
outdoor mall lease has no changes from last year.
MOTION: John moved to apprOve the 1999 mall lease for Mirabella;
secondo by Don. All in favor, motion carried.
Doug brough up the issue of the grass disappearing in the mall within three
weeks due to people walking on it. A fence needs to be a barrier and at the
right height. Staff will discuss the issue with the Parks Dept.
John thought the bond had funding set aside for the mall fences etc.
Jon questioned the irrigation system on the stream and that it didn't make
much sense when a stream existed. Staff will address that concern with
Parks and report baCk at the next meeting.
