COUNCILMEMBER COMMENTS
1. Councilman McCabe encouraged everyone to attend the Aspen Air
Show, Tuesday, September 26. There will be a dedication of a C-130 to be
called "City of Aspen.
2. Councilman Markalunas said change of seasons is conducive to
reflect on things for which to be thankful. Twenty-four seniors will be
moving into the Aspen Country Inn, thanks to the community' s efforts.
Councilman Markalunas said people should reflect on why they live in
Aspen and how they can make Aspen a better place in which to live.
3. Councilman Hershey said last weekend he went on a ride along with
the Aspen Police department. Councilman Hershey noted the city no longer
has a detox center, which necessitates police personnel driving intoxicated
persons all the way to Glenwood. Councilman Hershey said he would like
staff to look into re-opening the detox center in the upper valley.
Councilman Hershey said the city does not have the manpower to drive
people to Glenwood every night.
4. City Manager Margerum requested Council add a resolution to the
consent calendar to allow the city to be a co-petitioner with CDOT for
condemnation of property associated with the entrance to Aspen.
Councilman McCabe moved to add Resolmion #96, Series of 1999, to the

ORDINANCE #38, SERIES OF 1999 - Section M Amendments Aspen
Mountain PUD
Julie Ann Woods, community development director, told Council this
request has been submitted by Savanah Limited Partnership on behalf of the
Aspen Ski Company and Aspen Music Festival and School. The request is
to allow the Grand Aspen to remain standing for another year and to be used
for affordable housing by both the Skiing Company and Music Festival.
SLP has an application in process for lots 3 and 5 of the Aspen Mountain
PUD. This extension request will allow the applicants adequate time to
continue processing the PUD, to develop plans and to proceed to building
permit. Ms. Woods pointed out the CO for affordable housing will be
extended to October 1, 2002. Ms. Woods told Council it is reasonable to ask
for a deadline of April 1, 2001, for building permit submittal.
John Sarpa, representing Savanah Limited Partnership, told Council they
were completing the necessary steps to obtain a building permit when they
were contacted by the Aspen Music Festival about the possibility of leaving
the Grand Aspen standing in order to house music students next summer.
SLP was also contacted by the Aspen Ski Company to use the Grand Aspen
as housing for their seasonal employees.

Regular Meetin~ Asoen City Council Seotember 27, 1999
Councilman Hershey recused himself as an employee of the Aspen Ski
Company.
Sarpa told Council both groups would master lease the facility from SLP and
take over the operations. The Ski Company would lease the facility from
November 1 through May 15; the Music Festival will lease the facility from
May 16 through the end of August. Sarpa said the costs to demolish the
Grand Aspen will increase slightly due to a year delay. There will not be a
large hole in the ground for a year. Sarpa said SLP feels the need for
affordable housing outweighs any negatives on this proposal. Sarpa said he
feels this use will be less disruptive for the neighborhood than an operating
hotel.
Sarpa noted the current drab of the ordinance does not include the continued
operation of Maxfield's and the hair salon. Sarpa said SLP feels it would be
reasonable to continue these operations. If Council agrees, the ordinance
should be amended to include these uses. These businesses would be
separate for the master lease of the Ski Company or Music Festival.
Mayor Pro Tem Paulson opened the public hearing.
David Booth, representing the Aspen Lodging Company of 11 associations
around the Grand Aspen hotel, said the music students have been fine
neighbors. Booth stated they are in support of employee housing; however,
they are opposed to the Ski Company request coming in late. Booth said
they would like to know what kind of guarantees the neighbors can have
about the management of the property. Booth said the building is not
presently in good shape. Booth said the Ski Company does not plan to
invest any maintenance dollars in the building. Booth said he feels keeping
the bar open may cause some problems. The Grand Aspen is no longer a
hotel; it is a dormitory. Booth said the neighbors' concerns should be
addressed before this application is approved.
Chris Kiley, Aspen Ski Company, told Council he is the housing planning
and the on-site manager at the Heatherbed. Kiley said the Ski Company will
take all steps to manage this property in the same way they manage their
other employee housing buildings in Aspen, like the Sno-Eagle, Holiday
House and Heatherbed. Kiley said the Ski Company plans to keep the
existing maintenance staff at the Grand Aspen and the Ski Company will
4
Regular Meetin~ Asoen City Council Seotember 27, 1999
spend whatever it takes to maintain the building at an appropriate level.
Since the Grand Aspen will be demolished in one year, it is not financially
prudent to spend a lot of money on the building.
Kiley told Council it is the responsibility of the on-site management to act
an as independent attthority to maintain the regulations. The manager can
address problems that arise from both outside and inside the project. Kiley
said the Ski Company' s seasonal employees are a wide range of people.
Kiley said there is a list of rules and regulations, and every employee has to
sign off on these. Kiley told Council the Ski Company has several housing
projects in approval process right now and they look at the Grand Aspen as a
one-year only employee housing project. Kiley told Council as resident
manager of the Heatherbed he has levied fines for things like garbage and
parking infractions.
Lois Marmont, Top of Mill owner, said they are concerned that there is
nothing set up for management at this facility. Sarpa told Council because
the Ski Company will lease the building for 5 months, this has reduced the
cost to the MAA for the summer. Sarpa pointed out this is private property
and to whom it is leased is the decision of SLP as long as it is not overly
disruptive. Patty Hecht asked if there is any reassurance that this building
will be torn down October 2000. John Worcester, city attorney, noted either
this building comes down October 2000 or Council has to review to extend
that deadline again. That is the only assurance there is.
Edward Sweeney, Aspen Music Festival, said they intent to work with the
Ski Company and also intend to keep the same maintenance staff. Sweeney
said the will do a maintenance program that makes sense for the entire 12
months. The Ski Company and MAA will pay the maintenance costs.
Sweeney said the Aspen Music Festival has used the Grand Aspen for years
and have experience in running a smooth operation. They have had and will
continue to have dorm leaders, dorm assistants, and floor managers. Booth
noted that the neighbors have heard again and again that the owners do not
want to put much money into this building as it will be torn down in one
year. Booth said all contingencies should be decided before Council
approves an extension
Mayor Pro Tem Paulson closed the public hearing.
5
Regular Meetin~ Asoen City Council Seotember 27, 1999
Councilman Markalunas asked if the Grand Aspen is a good functional
building. Ms. Woods noted that the housing office did a walk through in
September and met with the general manager. The agreement with the
MAA and Ski Company deals with on-going maintenance. Kiley said this
will include anything and everything it takes to keep the building operational
and safe. Kiley said the Ski Company does have a lot riding on doing a
good job of managing this for their future projects. Ruth Kruger, general
manager of Grand Aspen, told Council they have always had 38 employee
housing beds on site.
Ms. Woods told Council if they want to allow Maxfields and the Hair Salon
to stay, they should amend the ordinance to specifically state that. Worcester
said the dates for each entity should also be changed in the ordinances, the
Ski Company from November 1 to May 15 and the Aspen Music Festival
from May 16 to the end of August.
Councilman McCabe moved to adopt Ordinance #38, Series of 1999, on
second reading incorporating the uses for Maxfields and the Hair Salon and
the change of dates; seconded by Councilman Markalunas. Roll call vote;
Councilmembers McCabe, yes; Markalunas, yes; Mayor Pro Tem Paulson,
yes. Motion carried.
RESOLUTION #90, SERIES OF 1999 - Temporary Use Grand Aspen
Affordable Housing
Nick Lelack, community development department, told Council this is a
temporary use permit for the Grand Aspen hotel to allow seasonal employee
housing. Council can approve a temporary use permit for 6 months; this one
is requested for November 1, 1999, to April 30, 2000. Before the expiration
of the first temporary permit, the applicant can come back and apply for an
extension for another 6 months. Lelack told Council the Grand Aspen is
zoned LTR. Staff believes many of the proposed uses are similar to those
allowed in the LTR zone.
Mayor Pro Tem Paulson opened the public hearing. There were no
comments. Mayor Pro Tem Paulson closed the public hearing.
Amy Margerum, city manager, suggested the resolution be amended to add a
generic condition that the applicant agree to maintain the exterior conditions
of the building to existing standards.
6
Regular Meetin~ Asoen City Council Seotember 27, 1999
Councilman Markalunas moved that it is in the public' s interest to approve
Resolution #90, Series of 1999 conditioned upon the facility being
maintained to existing standards; seconded by Councilman McCabe. Roll
call vote; Councilmembers Markalunas, yes; McCabe, yes; Mayor Pro Tem
Paulson, yes. Motion carried.
MAA REO UEST FOR BURLINGAME FUNDING
Steve Barwick, assistant city manager, reminded Council they earlier
approved $675,000 up front money for the MAA/Burlingame housing
project. This is a request for an additional $169,000 which is coming from
the $1.8 million subsidy that the city will put into this project. This will
increase by $169,000 city' s money at risk if the project is not built.
Jim Curtis, representing the MAA, told Council these funds will keep the
project on schedule. The MAA will make a $150,000 payment in October to
total $800,000, which is their financial commitment under prior
arrangements. Curtis said he and staff are working with the bond
underwriters and bond documents will be in front of Council in October.
Councilman McCabe moved to approve additional funds of $169,228 from
housing/day care fund for the continued construction of the
MAA/Burlingame project; seconded by Councilman Hershey. All in favor,
motion carried.
RESOLUTION #95, SERIES OF 1999 - Request for Water Service
Urschell
John Worcester, city attorney, told Council this request for water service
outside the city to a 5-1ot subdivision near the Maroon Creek Club. The
applicant can built fivel5,000 square foot homes in this area. Worcester told
Council the approval from Pitkin County requires the applicants to apply for
water from the city, and if the city turns them down they must demonstrate
they can provide adequate water from their own water system.
Worcester reminded Council the city has a policy about delivering water
outside the city limits. Part of that policy requires Council to determine
whether there is sufficient water for the city' s current and future needs.
Another issue is whether the development complies with the AACP. The
7
Regular Meetin~ Asoen City Council Seotember 27, 1999
memo from the water department recommends this not be approved because
Council has indicated priority for water in the future should be for affordable
housing units rather than private development. The Urschell parcel has
never been discussed for annexation.
Julie Ann Woods, community development director, told Council the AACP
indicates that 800 to 1300 affordable housing units should be approved in
the next 5 years. Staff is concerned about water usage for 45,000 square feet
of FAR for 5 houses.
Kevin Patrick, representing the applicant, noted the staff states there is
insufficient water to provide water for new growth outside the infill capacity
in the municipality. Patrick said the leakage savings have updated the 1994
study, and the city now believes they can service 800 to 1300 affordable
housing units. Patrick said the city relinquishes a portion of their water
rights for in-stream flow purposes. This has a large impact to the municipal
assets. Patrick said the city has more than enough water if they use the
water to service additional growth. By relinquishing the water, over time the
city will lose these rights. Patrick said not approving water extensions will
encourage private water systems and the city's boundaries will be circled by
these independent systems.
Worcester said the city' s water department director has recommended that
the water that is available for growth be more for affordable housing, which
is consistent to the AACP. Worcester said this area may never be annexed
and there is nothing against letting them develop their own independent
water system. Councilman Markalunas said when an area is annexed, the
city must provide water. The city should not be annexing areas that have
proposed development that Council may not support.
Patrick quoted from the city' s staff report, "current commitments for water
service are approximately equal to the capacity of the system as evaluated in
the 1994 study". Patrick said the ability to service areas with water and
compliance with the AACP are two different issues. Patrick said the staff
report indicates the city is at capacity and that this area does not comply with
the AACP.
Councilman McCabe moved to adopt Resolution #95, Series of 1999, to
deny the request to supply water to Urschell tract D; seconded by
Councilman Hershey. All in favor, motion carried.

Regular Meetin~ Asoen City Council Seotember 27, 1999
RESOLUTION #93, SERIES OF 1999 - Aspen Mountain PUD
Conceptual
Julie Anne Woods, community development director, told Council staff
plans to go over both the Aspen Mountain PUD conceptual and the Bavarian
Inn conceptual. The Aspen Mountain PUD should be continued to October
12 and the Bavarian Inn continued to November 8. Council scheduled a site
visit for Tuesday, October 12 at noon to tour the related sites.
Mitch Haas, planner, told Council there are many different types of
approvals associated with the Aspen Mountain PUD; however, this is just
conceptual review and approval. The Aspen Mountain PUD includes lot 5,
which is the Grand Aspen hotel site, and lot 3, which is the Top of Mill site.
The uses surrounding the Grand Aspen site are multi-family townhouses and
condominiums and some commercial. Lot 3 is surrounded by multi-family
condominiums and the ski area.
The proposal for the hotel is 150 moderately priced hotel rooms; 18 of these
will be suites. Within the hotel will be housing for 12 employees within 8
units; 4 studio and 4 one-bedrooms. These units will be located on the north
side of the hotel and will be garden level units. The hotel proposal also
includes 8,000 square feet of meeting space, 2750 square feet of restaurant
space including outdoor seating along vacated Dean street, 500 square feet
of accessory retail space, 2400 square feet of kitchen space, lobby and
support services. Haas told Council 106 below grade parking space are
proposed, access off of Galena street. The service access will be on the
South Mill side. Haas showed elevations of the Dean and Mill street sides,
how the building will be built into the slope of the hill.
Lot 3 is located at the Top of Mill with a total of 17 residential units, 4 will
be deed restricted units. Parcel 1 is two triplexes, access off Summit street;
parcel 2 is two duplexes, the deed restricted units and will be 3 three-
bedroom and 1 four-bedroom units; parcel 3 is a flee market duplex, parcels
4,5,6,7, and 8 are flee market single family residences. There are two open
space parcels, parcels A and B and include a ski easement to bring skiers to
Summit street. Lot 3 has LTR, R-15, and conservation zone district within
it. These zone districts do not follow the parcel lines. Haas said the Aspen
Mountain trail will be put into a dedicated easement. There is also the Top
of Mill trail traversing the top of the lot and Savanah will cooperate with the
city parks department to find a location for this trail.
9
Regular Meetin~ Asoen City Council Seotember 27, 1999
Haas pointed out each parcel has direct access off the cul-de-sac with both
driveway and garage parking. Haas said the landscaping for lot 3 is to
screen the skiers from the homes and vice versa on the south side of the
development. There will also be substantial landscaping between the
development and open space parcel A, which will screen the development
from town. Mayor Pro Tem Paulson asked about visitor parking in lot 3.
Haas said this has not been addressed; there is enough parking for 4 cars per
parcel. There could be parking on the cul-de-sac, which is a private road.
Haas noted that in the single family parcels, the proposal is to either provide
an accessory dwelling unit or cash-in-lieu. Haas told Council the applicant
is mitigating the development on lot 3 as today' s code requires. Savanah has
met the replacement mitigation. The duplexes exceed the multi-family
replacement requirements and the single family houses will either provide
ADUs or cash-in-lieu. Savanah has reconstruction credits, which they are
not applying to lot 3; this will be discussed in conjunction with lot 5.
John Sarpa, representing Savanah Limited Partnership, went over the history
of this property starting in 1985 with John Roberrs. The original approval
was for a 447 unit hotel on the St. Regis and Grand Aspen sites. There was
an approval for 33 residential units on lot 3. SLP purchased this property
and the approvals in 1987. Savanah amended the approvals, including the
ice rink. The hotel approval went from 447 units to 342 units and also
decreased the square footage in the approval process. Sarpa noted the hotel
site has 279 hotel rooms and no residential. The current St. Regis has 257
rooms with 22 unbuilt lodge rooms on the north side of the property.
Sarpa said on lot 5, Roberrs has approval to build 150,000 square feet.
Savanah reduced this to 115,000 square and agreed to reduce from 190 to 50
hotel rooms. Sarpa said the residential component is the key to the project.
They had approval for 54 residential units and have agreed to lower this to
47 residential units. Sarpa said the total 47 residential units comes from 14
residential units at the lower site and 33 residential units on lot 3. The ice
rink was split off from the original PUD and donated as open space. The ice
rink is lot 6 of the PUD.
Sarpa told Council the applicants applied in January 1996 to complete the
PUD. Lot 5 was all residential, 30 units of 100,000 square feet. Lot 3 was
all residential with no affordable housing; 17 free market units on lot 3 and
30 on lot 5 - total of 47 residential units. P & Z recommended approval of
10
Regular Meetin~ Asoen City Council Seotember 27, 1999
the residential plan on lot 5 and recommended denial of the plan on lot 3. In
August 1997, the Ritz Carlton left the project. Staff memo recommended
denial of the project. Savanah threw out the plan for lot 5, reworked the
plan for lot 3, and in March 1998 got an extension at which time they agreed
to submit a plan for lot 5 with a hotel and lot 3 with a better focus on
affordable housing. Sarpa told Council SLP maintains that the housing
previously provided in the mix for the entire project included mitigation for
lots 3 and 5. Staff did not agree and Savanah has included housing for lot 3,
to meet current code.
Sarpa said the balance for the hotel on Lot 5 is how to keep the price low
enough so that it is not a luxury hotel and yet have critical mass. The
balance is 150 rooms. The previous approval was 100,000 square feet; this
is 106,000 square feet. Sarpa pointed out once the Grand Aspen is
eliminated, there is a large gap in the bed base for Aspen. This hotel should
help meet the needs for the guest beds in the community.
Sarpa said the residential units on lot 3 are the key to the rest of the
development. This development has to work in order for the rest of the
development to work. Lot 3 has 13 free market residential units out of the
47 that Savanah has the right to apply for. Sarpa said the current housing
mitigation requirement is 60 percent; lot 3 would be the first development in
which Savanah would house 100 percent of all new net employees.
Bill Poss, architect, pointed out vacated Dean street will be a pedestrian
walkway connecting through to the gondola. This space will be limited to
taxi, limousine, drop off for the hotel. The commercial space will be on this
pedestrian mall. In the AACP, the base of the mountain is the appropriate
location for hotel rooms. This should bring more activity to this area and
also compliment the transit center. The larger mass of the hotel will be on
the front. Poss noted that the open space is close to 25 percent of the site.
The design intent in Lot 3 is to reduce the density as the development goes
up the hill. The residential units at the top are broken into a primary unit
and a secondary unit with parking and accessory dwelling unit. Poss pointed
out this development is in a bowl of the mountain topography.
RESOLUTION #94, SERIES OF 1999 - Bavarian Conceptual Review
11
Regular Meetin~ Asoen City Council Seotember 27, 1999
Joyce Ohlson, community development department, showed a location of
the Bavarian and a context map of the surrounding uses. Various different
approvals are being sought, like rezoning and some minor variance requests.
This application is well within the open space requirements. Ms. Ohlson
noted that parcel 1 which contains the Bavarian Inn is zoned RMF/PUD;
parcel 2 is zoned R-15. The zoning of parcel 1 is in keeping with the
surrounding zoning. The applicants will ask for rezoning of parcel 2 to
RMF/PUD.
Parcel 1 contains the existing Bavarian Inn, which will be converted from 14
units to 8 units consisting of 1 one-bedroom, 2 two-bedrooms, 1 three-
bedroom and 4 studio units. To the west of parcel 1 is the Bleeker street
structure containing 2 units, 1 three-bedroom and 1 two-bedroom. Ms.
Ohlson pointed out the proposed new curb cut off Bleeker street which will
service the parking areas for both parcels. The existing parking on Seventh
street will stay the same. There will be no new curb cuts on Seventh Street.
Parcel 2 contains the Eighth street structure of 4 units, all three-bedrooms.
The Main street structure is 5 units, 2 three-bedroom, 2 two-bedroom and 1
one-bedroom.
P & Z had 4 public hearings and had a successful process appropriate to the
conceptual level of review. There was a lot of neighborhood involvement
and the applicants met one on one with the neighbors. Ms. Ohlson reminded
Council in the 1990 ballot language stated, "developer shall process a land
use application for affordable housing suitable" for the Burlingame Property.
P & Z looked at the neighboring properties, building heights, preservation of
views, parking and traffic impacts on the neighbors. P & Z felt open space
and preservation of trees on this site was important.
Ms. Ohlson showed Council the site plans with the existing trees and the
trees that will have to be moved because of the traffic access. The proposed
landscape plan has streetscape elements being used in the city. Councilman
Markalunas asked if the city' s historic preservation officer has reported on
the two cabins on parcel 1. Mitch Haas said these are not landmarked nor
are they on the inventory. Councilman Markalunas said he would like to see
a report from the historic preservation office on the status of the structures
and some background. Ms. Ohlson said the development started out with 31
units and has been pared down to 19 units for livability and appropriateness
for the neighbors.
12
Regular Meetin~ Asoen City Council Seotember 27, 1999
John Sarpa, representing the applicant Savanah Limited Partnership, said
this is 100 percent affordable housing, 100 percent privately financed. Sarpa
said there is neighborhood support through a successful process. Sarpa told
Council one of the biggest issues was traffic, circulation and parking. There
was a traffic backup problem having the entrance on Seventh street. The site
was reconfigured to have the entrance off the Bleeker. Sarpa pointed out
some density was removed to preserve the open space along the entrance off
Bleeker. The view plane was very important and some buildings were
lowered and dug into the ground. Sarpa said the original proposal had
higher density on parcel 1. The density was reduced there and increased
some on parcel 2 so the two parcels are about the same in density.
David Brown, architect, showed the original plan and the evolution to the
current plans. Brown said there was objection to bringing the traffic through
the neighborhood and in on Eighth street. It was felt that the entrance off
Bleeker was more compatible. Brown showed how the design tries to break
up the buildings and staggers the roof heights and fronts.
Mayor Pro Tem Paulson asked about the traffic noise on Main street and the
potential highway relocation and what will be done about that. Brown said
the highway will slope down as it goes past the Bavarian, which should
dampen the noise. The project can also install small berms between the
units and the roadway if necessary.
Bonnie Murray, 814 West Bleeker, told Council her homeowner' s
association mostly favors this project. Ms. Murry told Council this has been
a wonderful experience and the neighbors have a good relationship with the
developer. This is a dense neighborhood and there are currently traffic and
parking problems. The neighbors worked with the developers on objectives
of having families in the neighborhood, getting green space and keeping
trees. Ms. Murry pointed out one or two monumental trees that will be lost
because of the moving of one unit to facilitate the circulation. Ms. Murry
said she would like to see if these trees could be saved.
Richie Cohen said this project is as nice an employee project as any
developed. It fits into the neighborhood, it maintains trees and green space
and the developers have taken into account the parking, traffic and
narrowness of Eighth street. Herb Klein reiterated this has been a good
process, and at this level he endorses the project. Klein said sometime in the
13
Regular Meetin~ Asoen City Council Seotember 27, 1999
process, details will need to be worked on. This project impacts Klein on
both the south and the east.
Todd Bozart, 814 West Bleeker, said he endorses the project. The neighbors
have been back and forth with the developers and this project works for
everyone. Paul Murry, 814 West Bleeker, said the neighbors are happy that
some of the large old trees can be saved. Nancy Hendrick, resident manager
of the Villas, agreed this has been a good project and she can support it.
Mayor Pro Tem Paulson said he would like to have for the next meeting a
report on saving the monumental trees and the cabin. Mayor Pro Tem
Paulson asked about the connection between this project and the Aspen
Mountain project. Sarpa said this depends on what is approved by Council.
The employee mitigation depends on the size of the Aspen Mountain
project. Sarpa said they are only asking that 50 percent of the Bavarian be
used as mitigation; however, the need to understand the project and the
numbers of units before that decision is made.
