Dick Butera told Council that Martina Navratiltova has bought a house here and asked if there is anything the city would do for her return to Aspen. Councilwoman Walls said traditionally Aspenites c~or_'t pay attention to celebrities, which is why they like to come here. Mayor Stirling agreed celebrities can be ordinary citizens in Aspen. 3. Jon Seigle told Council the Preserve subdivision is ready to f ile their plat. The Preserve entered into a water agreement , which has to be passed by ordinance. The Preserve is required to pay $50,000. Seigle requested Council authorize the city attorney, upon receipt of the payment, to let the county file the plat. City Attorney Taddune told Council this agreement has been negotiated with the Preserve, and presented an ordinance for first reading. Taddune said this action is to enable The Preserve to take advantage of extra building season. Taddune told Council the payment is an irrevocable offer on the part of the Preserve for the city to execute the agreement. This will give the developer the ability to file the plat. Seigle told Council the applicant is willing to take all the risks. The county is saying if the applicant pays the city, they will be allowed to file their plat. Councilwoman Fallin moved to waive the rules and add this as (r) as a first reading; seconded by Councilman Isaac. All in favor, with the exception of Councilmembers Collins and Walls. Motion carried. 4. Jon Busch told Council there is a life threatening condition existing in the city. The problem has been caused by increased residential density in Smuggler mountain. Gibson avenue is a major pedestrian corridor, with no shoulders in places and a blind curve. The problem is that there is no light in the area at all. Busch told Council he spoke with the firm who has done the city's downtown lighting plan, who did a cost projection to extend the lighting plan up Gibson avenue. This will cost 2 Regular Meeting Aspen Citv Council _ Ju~.v 28, 1986 $32,000 including engineering fees. Busch said there are a number of reasons it would be to the city's advantage to do this work now. Busch told Council the Commissioners have agreed to fund half of the cost of this project up to $16,000 provided the city would take the lighting system on as part of the city's system. Mayor Stirling moved to refer this to staff and bring back to the August 11 meeting; seconded by COt~nG]lwaman Fallin. Councilman Isaac said he would also like a report on the paving program in this area. Jay Hammond, city engineer, said staff is having Elam work on a proposal for this area.

SERIES OF 1986 - Holy Cross Easement - Koch Mayor Stirling opened the public hearing. City Attorney Taddune told Council he has been negotiating concepts to be included in the easement agreement. The city is requesting Holy Cross agree to a vacation of right of overhead facilities on all 3 properties. The second is that Holy Cross agree to indemnify and hold harmless the city regarding its operations to be installed on the easements. The third condition is a relocation provision in the event there is some conflict with city utilities and there is no reasonable and economically practical alternative, Holy Cross would relocate its facilities at its own expense. If there is a reasonable alternative, the city would pay for the relocation. Taddune pointed out Holy Cross has a franchise with the city to utilize the city's rights-of-way, and if there is conflict with city utilities, Holy Cross will relocate them. However, Holy Cross has said they do not want to invest time and money, if they are going to be subject to the whims of the city regarding relocation. Jon Busch, Williams addition, told Council they have been negotiating with Holy Cross about the one overhead line in this area. Busch said he would like Council to encourage Holy Cross to work on undergrounding t his o ne line. Holy Cross said he would prefer not to have this tabled as the contractor is almost to this location. Taddune said he has conceptual agreement on these changes from Holy Cross and has tried to protect the city's position. Councilwoman Walls moved to adopt Ordinance #25, Series of 1986, on second reading with the easement amended and subject to city attorney's approval; seconded by Councilwoman Fallin.

W ILL IAMS ADDITION ANNEXATION Mayor Stirling said this is a public hearing to see if there is sufficient evidence to warrant annexation into the city and whether an election will be required. City Attorney Taddune said Council has to determine that not less than 1/6 of the perimeter of the area is contiguous with the municipality; this has been determined by staff. Council has to make a finding that a community of interest exists between the city and the area to be annexed. This annexation has been noticed for a public hearing. If at the end of the hearing, Council finds this area suitable to be annexed, staff will prepare an annexation Resolution f or the next meeting. Mayor Stirling opened the public hearing. Tony Rutgers, 512 Spruce street, presented photographs of the area to be annexed showing it to be part of the city of Aspen. Rutgers said he feels this area is urban as it can possibly get. Rutgers told Council he circulated annexation petitions. Diane Rutgers, 512 Spruce street, told Council the land owners in will iams addition have 1 ived there a long time and would 1 ike to be part of the city. This area is surrounded by the city. The residents would like to be able to vote in city elections. Jon Busch, 548 Race street, told Council Williams addition is a very old subdivision, indicated on early Aspen area maps. It is subdivided in city lots. Busch told Council he supports annexation and feel the owners of a majority of the subdivision are in favor of annexation. Mitchell told Council the petitions were circulated by residents of Williams addition and were signed by more than 50 percent of the landowners. Mayor Stirling asked staff for an update on the Environmental Protection Agency and the relationship to the emergency site. Tom Dunlop, environmental health department, said the Environmental Protection Agency has designated 75 acres in the Smuggler mountain area as a hazardous waste site under the super fund regulations. Dunlop said this is a result of mining activity of over 100 years ago. Dunlop told Council the federal government has been involved in this for about 2 years. The williams addition is located within the 75 acre site. Dunlop said the liabilities that go along with the designation of a hazardous waste site can be fairly intense financially. The 5 Regular Meeting Aspen City Council July 28. 1986 remedy being discussed currently is $800,000 to $1,000,000 which will have to be paid by local people. Dunlop said the EPA is coming up with a financially responsible party list; Pitkin county is one of them. The intent of the EPA is not to designate specific property owners to be responsible but is looking at corporations or governments or ownerships of common or public property. Dunlop told Council they are meeting weekly with potential responsible parties that have been designated and the E PA. Dunlop said they are close to an agreement on who will take care of the clean. Dunlop said there is a 1 arge discrepancy between the value the EPA placed on the clean up and the value the potentially responsible party placed on it. If a settlement can be reached in August, the corrective work can be complete by the end of the summer. Dunlop said if an agreement cannot be signed, and the federal government assumes responsibility for the site, no work will get done this summer and litigation will commence. There is no money in the super fund. Dunlop said many man hours have been spent on this to protect the local people doing the work at a much reduced cost. Dunlop pointed out there are two streets not paved in the Williams addition, and the EPA wants the county to commit to put in a foot of road base and a 3 inch mat of asphalt. Dunlop recommended doing all the preliminary work to annex the Williams addition but not annex it until the hazardous waste problem is solved. Taddune cautioned against annexation given the potential liability to the city. Angie Griffith, 530 Walnut street, told Council she has lived in Williams addition for 60 years and cannot remember any mine tailing in that area. Busch told Council CSU did soil and produce testing in the area, and it was determined the soil was within federal standards. Elyse Elliott, engineering department, told Council the city spends $26 , 000 per mil a per year to maintain the roads. The Williams addition has 1/2 mile of road. If the city wants to paving, it would cost $8 to $10,000, curb and gutter would be more. Mitchell told Council annexatior_ of this area would not require ar immediate change in the city's level of service. Taddune told Council the property owners have agreed to dedicate to the city any water rights. Taddune asked if any analysis have to been to see if the wells are contaminated. Dunlop said one well was slightly contaminated; however, when it was tested again it met the standards. Mayor Stirling moved to instruct staff to being a resolution favoring the Williams addition annexation and an ordinance on or before August 25 depending on the EPA agreement; seconded by Councilman Collins. 6 Regular Meetincr Aspen City Council July 28. 1986 Mayor Stirling said it clear the annexation criteria has been met and the urban area has been proved. Taddune entered the annexation petition into the record. All in favor, motion carried. LIQUOR LICENSE TRANSFER OF LOCATION - Great Western Spirit Company Great Western Spirit Company is requesting to move their location from 300 Puppy Smith Street to 435 East Main. Jon Seigle, representing the applicant, told Council they have a letter of intent but have not yet executed a lease. Seigle told Council there is a question as to whether the applicant can stay in their present location, and they are requesting to move their liquor license. City Attorney Taddune told Council the applicant must show proof of possession of the new premises. Taddune told Council the current premises are subject to court proceedings. Seigle told Council the applicant proved the needs of the ne ighborriood when they got thei r 1 icense in 1977 . They are moving two blocks and feel it is the same neighborhood. There are letters in the file from adjoining businesses supporting the transfer of location. Nick McGrath, representing Trueman Aspen corporation and Bob Grueter, told Council they are not opposing this transfer. McGrath told Council Grueter filed a liquor license application for the premises in 1984. McGrath told Council his client cannot operate in these premises until Great Western leaves, and they are in the premises by a stay order. McGrath said Great Western can have the assurance of a transfer of location from Council. McGrath asked that if Council approve the transf er of location, it be within a certain time period so that his client may occupy the premises. Richie Cohen told Council he is concerned about a liquor license 1 ocate d next to a ga s station and across from the courthouse. Cohen said he does not feel this is an appropriate location for a liquor store. Alan Richman, planning office, told Council this is a permitted use in the CC zone. Mayor Stirling closed the public hearing. City Attorney Taddune told Council he does not find a time limit to effect a transfer of location; however, transfer of location presumes there will be a transfer of location. are applicant cannot be operating in two locations. Councilman Collins asked if there is a time to complete the transfer. Taddune said he would have to research this. Councilwoman Walls said she would 7 Regular Meeting - Aspen Citv Council __ Judy 28, 1986 like to have a signed lease in the file before the transfer is approved. Councilwoman Fallin to continue the hearing of the transfer to August 11, 1986; seconded by Councilwoman Walls. Taddune told Council the change in location becomes effective as soon as the Department of Revenue issues the permit. Taddune told Council a 1 icensee can enjoy a license with no place to operate from. If the applicant no longer has a place to operate from, they cannot exercise their rights under the license. All in favor, with the exception of Councilman Isaac and Mayor Stirling. Motion carried. LIQUOR LICENSE APPLICATION - Maestro's Councilwoman Fallin stepped down due to a conflict of interest. Mayor Stirling opened the public hearir_a. City Clerk Koch reported the file, posting and publication to be in order. Chris DiPietro, applicant, told Council he will be serving cosmopolitan foods at a fair price range. DiPietro told Council he will be open 12 months a year for lunch and dinner. The restaurant will have a high tech look with an open kitchen. Mayor Stirling asked for opponents to the liquor. There were none. Mayor Stirling closed the public hearing. Councilman Isaac moved that based on the evidence presented at the public hearing of July 28, 1986, related to the application of Maestro's Corporation for a three-way liquor license, the liquor license authority finds the needs of the community have not been met, and the 1 i cense as applied for i s hereby granted; seconded by Councilman Coll ins. All in favor, motion carried. ORDINANCE #28, SERIES OF 1986 -Dwelling Units in Cc Zone Councilwoman Walls moved to read Ordinance #28, Series of 1986; seconded by Mayor Stirling. All in favor, motion carried. ORDINANCE #28 (Series of 1986) AN ORDINANCE OF THE ASPEN CITY COUNCIL AMENDING THE USE TABLES TO ALLOW NON-ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS AS A CONDITIONAL USE FOR DESIGNATED HISTORIC STRUCTURES IN THE COMMERCIAL CORE ZONE DISTRICT was read by the city clerk 8 Regular Meeting Aspen City, Council July 28. 1986 Councilwoman Fallin moved to adopt Ordinance #28, series of 1986, on first reading; seconded by Councilwoman Walls. Steve Burstein, planning office, told Council this will allow dwelling units as a conditional use on the upper stories in historically designated structures. Both staff and P & Z recommend approval of this code amendment. Andy Hecht told Council second floor is not very desirable for commercial space, and dwelling units are a better use for the property. Councilman Isaac said he has a problem with the parking in the downtown, this may add to the situation and make it worse. Burstein told Council the P & Z and staff are also concerned and will try to address it with a cash-in-lieu option to contribute to a parking solution. Alan Richman, planning director, said when the transportation element is complete, there will be recommendations for parking requirements in the downtown area. Richman said this was initiate d by a private individual, and staff did not f eEl adding one more conditional use is not a substantial layer. Mayor Stirling asked if this code amendment would compromise the historic preservation plan element. Burstein said this is in support of historic preservation and is an incentive. Roll call vote; Councilmembers Isaac, no; Fallin, yes; Walls, yes; Collins, yes; Mayor Stirling, yes. Motion carried. ORDINANCE #29, SERIES OF 1986 - Pools in Open Space Councilwoman Walls moved to read Ordinance #29, Series of 1986; seconded by Councilwoman Fallin. Motion carried. ORDINANCE #29 (Series of 1986) AN ORDINANCE OF THE ASPEN CITY COUNCIL AMENDING SECTION 2 4-3.7 (d ) TO ALLOW POOL S AND OTHER RECREATION AREAS IN OPEN SPACE IN LODGE ZONE DISTRICTS was read by the city clerk Councilwoman Walls moved to adopt Ordinance #29, Series of 1986, on first reading; seconded by Mayor Stirling. Alan Richman, planning director, told Council this is the last code amendment they will see until the code stream lining is complete. Richman told Council this was in the process bef ore the code consultants were hired. Richman said this code amendment is in response to several concerns from the public. Richman told Counci] poa]. s are specifically excluded f rom the definition of open space. Richman said this is similar to review of dining areas in open space. Richman told Council P & Z always finds that dining areas are consistent with and enhance open 9 Regular Meeting Ashen Citv Council J~28, 1986 space. Richman said staff and P & Z feel pools would be consistent with the purposes of open space. Richman recommended not creating another review procedure in the code, but to set standards allowing pools in open space in the lodging zone districts. Richman said there is a requirement that the pool or other recreation area shall constitute not more than 20 percent of the total open space, to insure a certain amount of a site would be maintained for circulation and green space. Councilman Collins asked how open space is defined. Richman told Council the definitions of open space in the code are not being changed. Councilman Coll ins said he thought the concept of open space was to be accessible to public. Richman said one purpose of open space is to provide relief from building mass. Richman told Council the code is s~aeca_fic in allowing fences in open space to prevent the public from accessing. The real purpose of open space is usability for the owner of the property, not necessary the public . Councilman Collins said putting pools in open space is losing the concept of open space. Richman said the code requires that half of the frontage on the street has to be open space. If the open space is on the back of the property, it must be continuous with the rest of the open space. Richman said the definition of open space will be examined during code simplification. Councilman Isaac requested a change from "The pool ~r other recreation area" be changed to The pool and other recreation area". Councilman Isaac moved to amend Section 2 (9) (a) to read pool and other recreation area, and to adopt Ordinance #29, Series of 1986, on first reading; seconded by Councilman Collins. Roll call vote; Councilmembers Collins, yes; Walls, yes; Fallin, yes; Isaac, yes; Mayor Stirling, yes. Motion carried. 601 ASPEN STREET GMP APPEAT Mayor Stirling explained the Council is the role for hearing appeals to P & Z's scoring of GMP projects. The Code allows challenges for denial of due process of law or abuse of discretion by the Commission in scoring. The Council has received a challenge to the Commission's scoring of 601 Aspen Street project on the basis of abuse of discretion. Doug Allen, representing the applicant, submitted a letter detailing the issues. Mayor Stirling said Council should determine if there is sufficient evidence to change the scoring or remand any scoring back to P & Z. Hans Gramiger said it is hard for Council to be fair after hearing all that has happened to the applicant over the years. 10 Regular Meeting Aspen CitX Council July 28, 1986 Gramiger suggested Council schedule a 2 hour study session either alone or with the P & Z to discuss this project. Alan Richman, planning director, told Council this project was scored by the P & Z in June at 29.,7 points below the 31.8 threshold required to receive a GMP allotment from Council. The staff did receive an appeal from the applicant within the required time period. Richman told Council the staff attended the hearing, reviewed the scoring of the Commission, and does not believe the F & Z abused its discretion or violated its authority in the hearing. Richman pointed out the Council has delegated to the P & Z all responsibility in the area of scoring,a nd their review is quite comprehensive. The Council only allots units. The P & Z does the analysis of a proper score for an application. Richman said P "& Z had a public hearing, which provides additional information beyond that available to staff. The public hearing on 601 Aspen Street had many neighbors commenting on some of the more subjective areas of the GMP process, like site design, neighborhood compatibility. The facts presented by the public were very informative to P & Z and to staff, and did change staff's thinking about their recommended scoring. Richman said the appeal i s a point by point evaluation of the scoring done by the Commission. Rich man said this should take a look at the scores granted by the Commission members to see if there are individual members clearly aberrant in scoring. Richman told Council he looked at the scores and determined there was consistency in scoring. The member s made similar f findings based on the facts presented by staff, the applicant, and the public. The Commission reviewe d the case and scored the applicant appropriately. Richman pointed out different members of the P & Z will view the case differently. Richman said looking at the overall scoring, there is no one member or entire Commission ignoring the recommendations of staff or comments of the applicant and the public. Richman said he feels this is a very reasonable score and not one to challenge right or wrong, particularly in green space, site design, neighborhood compatibility, parking, fire protection. Richman told Council the Commission did not abuse its discretion but followed the discretion available to it under the code except in the area of employee housing. Richman told Council employee housing is scored by formula, which is specific in. the Code, reviewed by the housing authority and concurrence from P & Z. Richman told Council one member of the Commission f el t differently about the application and that the number of units proposed was not what was represented by the applicant. Richman said this score is an error and should be corrected, and recommended Council alter the score in employee housing from 7.22 points to 13 points. Richman said that action will not bring the application over the threshold. Richman said Council can 11 Regular Meeting Aspen Citv Council July 28, 1986 consider altering the scores in other areas if they wish. Richman said another option, if Council feels there are scoring errors, is to remand the application to P & Z. Richman told Council P & Z has knowledge of the process and specifics of this application. Richman recommended Council change the one score in employee housing, and to deny the 601 Aspen street application. Mayor Stirling asked in employee housing scoring so objective that it is a given that every score should be a 13. Richman said it should be. Richman said the individual who score that category differently developed a formula based on the fact that based on the 92 rooms which the applicant was proposing, there was a potential for those rooms to broken off into multiple units and therefore the employee housing proposed was not adequate and the score should be less. Richman told Council there is not basis for that recommendation. Councilman Isaac said without that .Commission member present to justify the reason, the Council cannot make that determination. Doug Allen entered into the record the individual scores from P & Z, as well as the planning off ice scoring, which does meet the threshold. Allen told Council they feel there was obvious prejudice at the P & Z meeting and requested the tapes be entered into the record. Allen told Council two members of the P & Z are creditors of the Cantrup bankruptcy estate and have not been paid by the estate, and they have an interest adverse to the applicant. Allen told Council these two members gave two of the lowest scores. Allen said he will go through the scoring errors for Council. Allen told Council he agrees that site and neighborhood compatibility are subjective and will not discuss those. In the public facilities are storm drainage, fire protection, parking and roads and the scores in these categories are clearly in error. The scores for energy and trails are also in error. Allen presented a chart of the scoring. Allen said in the category of storm drainage, he feels the applicant was unfairly down graded. This category carries a maximum of 2 points and the criteria are consideration of capacity of the drainage facilities to dispose of the surface runoff of the proposed development without system extension beyond those normally installed by the developer. Allen said the evidence for storm drainage was uncontroverted, that the applicant was committing to install dry wells and retention on the site. Curb and gutter on portions of the property are to be installed and tie in to existing catch basins. Allen said the engineering department stated these measures would help the drainage in the neighborhood, not just for the benefit of the project. Allen pointed out since this appeal was f filed, the bodge at Aspen was rated by the same Commission and was rated the maximum points with virtually the 12 Regular Meeting - Aspen City Council July_ 28, 1986 same type of storm drainage plan. Allen said this illustrates this applicant was the subject of abuse of discretion by P & Z. This applicant submitted virtually the same type of storm drainage for a different project, the name Cantrup was associated with it and was scored down. In the category of fire protection, the criteria are very clear if the existing system can provide fire protection to the project you get a certain number of points. If an applicant improves the fire protection, they are entitled to maximum points. Allen said this is an are where this application should be granted an additional 1.5 points. This is detailed in the letter of appeal. Allen told Council the Lodge at Aspen committed to install a fire hydrant; this applicant committed to install 2 fire hydrants and were not given proper credit for this. Allen pointed out there were public comments at the P & Z where a person appeared and implied he was speaking on behalf of the fire district. This person is related to an adjacent property owner, who is opposed to the project. Allen clarified the position of the fire department, which is that they can provide full protection to this project without any additional service. Allen said this applicant should receive the maximum number of points. Allen said in parking design the requirements according to the code are 112 parking space. The project is further encumbered by covenants to provide 30 parking spaces for the Aspen Skiing Company for a total of 142 parking spaces. Allen pointed out this project provides 152 underground and 20 surface parking spaces, exceeding what is required by code. Allen told Council the only criticism from staff is that the brick paved entry court is a large continuous area. Allen pointed out this area is brick, not asphalt, to provide an entrance to the garage. The criteria of the code gives an applicant credit for paved surface rather than an unpaved surf ace par king 1 of . Allen submitted the applicant should be entitled to 1.25 more points in that category. Allen said in the road category the criteria is very clear. The engineering department stated the streets are adequate to handle th a increase. The RFTA has said there is no resulting service impacts. Allen told Council at the public hearing comments were made about increased traffic in the area. The applicant has submitted and agreed to make improvements to the streets in the area to upgrade the circulation, and they should be entitled to 1.67 increase in points. Allen said the second major category is quality of design. In the energy category, 3 points are given for excellent design. The Roaring Fork Energy Center noted that this is an excellent commitment, and there was no evidence presented to the contrary. 13 R~aular--Meeting -- Aspen Citv Council Ju~y28, 1986 Allen entered into the record the P & Z scoring of the Lodge at Aspen. Allen told Council this applicant's energy commitment is better than the Lodge at Aspen, the Lodge at Aspen scored the maximum points and this applicant should be entitled to the maximum points in this category. In the trails category, there were comments from Blomquist which were favorable as well as a letter from the Nordic council saying the trail fits well in the trail corridor along the base of Aspen mountain. Allen told Council walkways will be provided along Aspen street for pedestrian convenience. Allen said the trails category should rate the maximum of 3 points; at 2 points, it will increase the points by .34. Allen told Council after the adjustment for the incorrect scoring of one member in the employee housing category, the applicant only needs 1.13 points to pass the threshold and receive an allotment for this project. Allen has detailed items that would lead to an increase of 7 or 8 points. Allen pointed out if Council compares the chart to see what was done for the Lodge at Aspen, it is clear P & Z did abuse their discretion and judged the applicant and not the project. Allen said this is a major project of 92 units; it is subject to the zoning code of the city; it is subject to the requirements of a joint venture partner, as well as requirements of a lender and operator of the hotel. Allen said this project will be done in a first class manner. Allen said the Commission was prejudiced and down scored the applicant. Mayor Stirling said he assumes every member of Council and Commission is always fair but may not always agree. Mayor Stirling said another issue is whether Council supports the efforts of the P & Z to do the work they are charged to do. From the evidence presented tonight, does Council feel there has been an abuse of discretion. Mayor Stirling said he does not feel it is th e role of Council to score, which would be inappropriate. Mayor Stirling said Council should decide whether to remand rather than restore. City Attorney Taddune quoted from the Code that the Council review is limited to whether there was a denial of due process or abuse of discretion by the Commission in the scoring. Subsequent to the conclusion of protest hearings, during which the Council may change the number of points awarded, the Council shall by resolution prior to March lst allocate development allotments among eligible applicants in the order of priority. Taddune told Council there is no specific direction in the Code to remand but it may be within the intent of any appeal that the scoring be remanded to the body that did the scoring. Mayor Stirling said an issue is whether it is relevant to compare other projects and the way that ~=roj ect was scored. Mayor Stirling said he feels this is irrelevant because there are different sites, different designs and different auras created by 14 Regular Meeting- - Aspen City Council Judy 28, 1986 applications. Mayor Stirling said he supports the. charge given to P & Z and the work they have done on this project. Mayor Stirling said he would like to remand two sections of the scoring back to P & Z; employee housing and fire protection. Richman told Council there is a letter from the f ire department dated March 28, provided to P & Z. Richman told Council Jim Wilson is the official referral agent for fire protection, which the fire department asked of the fire marshal as they did not feel they had the technical capabilities. Richman told Council the fire marshal made numerous comments about this project, which give rise to the score of the P & Z. Richman told Council he does not feel the score of P & Z was based solely on comments at the public hearing. Richman said he f eels P & Z made an objective and fair caetermination in the area of fire protection and would support this score. Mayor Stirling moved to remand the employee housing category to the Planning and Zoning Commission for rescoring and find the balance of 601 Aspen street project to have been scored fairly and there has been no abuse of process. Motion DIES for lack of a second. Councilman Isaac said Allen has brought a charge against some members of the Commission that they have a conflict of interest. Councilman Isaac said he feels the Commission has done their best in scoring the project, but questioned whether the members with a conflict should have stepped down. Taddune asked whether Allen was aware of the conflict at the time of the hearing. Allen said he was not aware of this. Taddune asked if Allen has made a challenge in writing. Allen said he has not done so but will do so as part of this appeal. Taddune suggested it is appropriate to articulate in writing how this may have affected the judgement of the P & Z members. Councilman Isaac said he feels it is not Council's place to challenge the scoring of the P & Z. Council does not have all the information the Commission had. Councilman Isaac said he would prefer to leave the score as is. Taddune said the questior_ of conflict of interest should be substantiated, and if it is part of this appeal should be considered more formally than a statement by the applicant's attorney. Taddune said if this statement cannot be substantiated it should be withdrawn. Councilwoman Fallin told Council, as a former member of P & Z, every time scoring for the applicant came before P & Z, those two members declared their conflict of interest and this has been public record for a number of years. Taddune said he is surprised the applicant is not aware of the conflict because the creditors have been listed in the public record. Taddune said one would presume the applicant had this information available as it was incumbent upon them to list the creditors at the time of the bankruptcy proceedings. 15 Regu-iar-Me-etina - - - - Ashen City Council July 28, 1986 Councilman Isaac moved to accept the scoring as presented to Council by P & Z; seconded by Councilwoman Fallin. Councilman Collins said there seems to be some anomalies in the scoring process that stand out. Councilwoman Walls said Council does not have any of the type of inf ormation that P & Z had to make their decision. Councilwoman Walls said she would not like to second guess the Commission. Councilman Collins said some of the categories, like fire protection, water and sewer, are almost givens and the basics are there. Richman said the basics are not there, and it is not valid to compare one application to another. Richman told Council there are different size and locations of applications. Richman said this is a very substantial application in an undeveloped area of the community, which needs substantial upgrades if it is to have development on it. Richman said P & Z found substantial impacts that were not mitigated. Councilman Collins said the applicant is providing more parking that required, yet the score is down. TaGdune said Council can review the record of the P & Z to determine whether or not there has been abuse of discretion based on information presented in th a course of the public hearing. Taddune suggested reviewing the record bef ore making a decision. Allen agreed to wait until Council has reviewed the record. Under the code, Council is charged with the responsibility of reviewing the record. Richman pointed out the code the Council reviews the report of the Commission. All in favor, with the exception of Councilman Collins and Mayor Stirling. Motion carried. REQUEST Ta-USE--CITY PROPERTY - Biodome Proposal Patty Carlson toles Council she has several written endorsements for a Biodome project on the site from social service, extension service, senior citizens, schools, police department, head of the community gardens. Ms. Carl son said she has a volunteer to do the backhoe work, local restaurants will purchase the food to support this project. Ms. Carlson reminded Council she has approval from P & Z with conditions to be entered into an agreement. Ms. Carl son said this will be an experiment with the application of the biodome's technology for education, for supplying foods to social services, and to introduce the concept of an independent social services program to distribute food to restaurants to supply financial support for the program. Ms. Carlson said because of the existing cottonwood trees, this Biodome will not be visible. They will plant 10 more trees on the back si de. The Nordic council has no objection to the placement of the Biodome. Ms. Carlson told Council there is no foundation; the Biodome is so light an anchor system is used. 16 I~eQUlar Meeti-rnr -- Aspen City Council Ju y 28, 1986 Ms. Carlson is asking for this particular location because water and electricity are easily accessible. The existing agricultural projects are in this specific location. Ms. Carlson pointed out this land is zoned for agricultural development and is being used for that. Ms. Carlson said they will proceed as long as the dome will be covered by October. Councilwoman Walls moved to approve the biodome project subject to the 10 conditions in the planning office memorandum; seconded by Councilman Coll ins. Ms. Carlson told Council the conditions are fine with her except she would like a 3 month notification in case of termination so that they can relocate. City Attorney Taddune suggested drafting a license agreement for approval by CoL~nciJ.. Gotancilwoman Walls said she would prefer to leave it to the discretion of the city manager's office to approve the agreement. Councilman Isaac said this is a good use in the wrong location. This land was purchased for open space and this is putting a building on that land. Mayor Stirling agreed this is a laudable proposal but this is an inappropriate location. Mayor Stirling said there are alternative spaces that could have been used. All in favor, with the exception of Councilman Isaac and Mayor Stirling. Motion carried. STAL-i~ARD HOUSE EI,-ECTRIC HOOK U~ Elyse Elliott, engineering department, told Council it will cost about $1,000 to take the electric service underground to the Stallard F~ouse. Mayor Stirling asked where this hook up would come from. Ms. Elliott told Council this block does not have an alley and the electricity would come from Bleeker street. Jim Markalunas, water department, told Council this block has never had an alley. Councilman Isaac moved that the city pay the $1,000 hook up costs for the Aspen Historical Society Museum to the newly undergrounded distribution system and make this a contribution in advance of the 1987 non-profit requests; seconded by Councilman Collins. Councilman Collins asked what the general policy is for extending underground service to houses. Ms. Elliott told Council this is to be borne by the property owners. Councilman Coll ins asked if there is an average cost for this. Ms. Elliott said it depends on what each property owner has in their back yard. Mayor Stirling asked if this could be allocated out of the bond proceeds. Ms. Elliott said there are some contingency funds this could come out of. Mayor Stirling said he would prefer it to 17 Regular---MeetirrQ ---- - ----- AsAerl -City Council Ju~y_ 28. 1986 come out of the existing bond rather than 19 87 non-profit request. All in favor, with the exception of Mayor Stirling. Motion carried. Acting City Manager Mitchell said this will be paid out of the electric fund. If Council wants to follow up during the 1987 budget requests, they can use contribution money to repay the electric fund. HE3~EL JEROME- PUD --AMENI?NfENT Mayor Stirling said the amended PUD agreement has bee distributed to Council to reflect that the applicant will bear the expense of the water loop; the city and applicant will share in the cost of regrading Sleeker. Perry Harvey, representing the applicant, said he would like a clarification that this work be done next spring as soon as practical. Harvey said the reasar, to postpone the regrading next spring is that they will not have to tear it up during construction. Harvey said regrading Sleeker street will be done after construction of phase II and will agree to start on or before May 15 , 1987. Harvey told Council they have received a construction cost estimate from the surveyors, which has been reviewed by staff. The cost estimate come to $47,280. Harvey said 53,000 should not be in there because it is the applicant's curb and gutter and a contingency of 20 percent. The cost is about 537,000 or $38,000. Harvey requested to change item number 2 to have a firm number. Mayor Stirling suggested changing 535,000 to 540,000. Harvey said they will guarantee 100 percent of the curb and gutter and sidewalk work and 125 percent of the landscaping work. Jon Seigle asked if landscaping and restoring will be provided for adjacent property owners on Sleeker street. Harvey said the applicant has provided for sidewalk, curb gutter, regrading and resodding. City Attorney Taddune said he is still waiting comments from the housing office. Mayor Stirling moved to approve the amended and restated PUD agreement with the Hotel Jerome renovation and addition with amendments and the housing section remanded to the housing authority, to be reviewed by the attorney; seconded by Councilwoman Fall in. All in favor, with the exception of Councilman Collins. Motion carried. Ai+~ENDMEN~`---TO ENCROACHMENT LICENSE - Lake and Gillespie Elyse Elliott, engineering department, reminded Council this was tabled because of no representations. Ms. Elliott told Council 18 R-ectular Meetinr~ - --- -- --Aspen -City Co,~nc~,~ - July 28, 1986 she has had references that the property owner does not object, but not in. writing. The engineering department recommends this encroachment be amended. Councilwoman Walls moved to amend the encroachment license granted to C. F. Murphy dated October 31, 1980, to reduce the length of the planter boxes from 40.5 feet to 26.5 feet; seconded by Councilman Isaac. All in favor, motion carried. Council man Isaac asked if this will cost the city any money. Ms. Elliott said this should not cost the city money. Taddune told Council if the standard encroachment license is in place, the city may revoke it on notice. L ITTLE- NI;LL INTERCOi~TECT Jim Markalunas, water department, presented a drawing of the work being done at Little Nell and the gondola building. The city had two water lines in this location, which had to be relocated due to cor_struction. The Skiing Company, at their expense, relocated the 12 inch line. Markalunas told Council the city has had a long range plan to take a water line down to the Alps. There is an opportunity while the hill is torn up, to go straight down the hill. The Lodge at Aspen has agreed to put an interconnect as part of their GMP project. Markalunas said this project will cost $22,000 and the water depa.rtmer~t Yeas about $5,000 worth of inventory they can put in the j ob. Markalunas told Council the tap fee connected with the Skiing Company project will be about $12,700 . Markalunas said the Skiing Company will pay the contractor to lay the pipe and the city will furnish inventory and about $5,000 out of the existing budget, or a supplemental appropriation. Markalunas said this is a trade off in lieu of tap fees, the Skiing Company will place the lines. Markalunas told Council the water department would like to get the water tank buried. Councilman Isaac asked how important it is to tap into the Ute avenue line. Markalunas said this is very important as the whole loop is only connected by a 6 inch line. This loops around to the storage tank at the Aspen Grove tank. Markalunas said this will have to be a supplemental appropriation within the water funds. Councilman Isaac moved to approve the request of the water department to go ahead and put the loop in on Little Nell as proposed to get funds by the Ski Company and use the city's supply and inventory; seconded by Councilman Collins. All in favor, motion carried.

Pucak said the results will give the community information to make a decision on this facility. This will involve the community in the study. Councilman Isaac moved to approve the contract with ha stings 7 Chivetta after review by the city attorney; seconded by Councilwoman Fallin. City Attorney Taddune requested rather than use the laws of Missouri to interpret the contract, he would prefer to use the laws of Colorado. Mayor Stirling asked if this firm will analyze an outdoor i.ce rink. Harty Kahn said they will look at 4 or 5 proposed sites. Kahn saiG he feels the city is getting an incredible value from this contract. Kahn staid his sense of the study will be to give Council options with components. Kahn said this firm has c',one projects from $1,000,000 to 512,000,000. Kahn said this firm will give Council financing alternatives as well. Kahn said they will look at combining an indoor and outdoor pool and using the indoor pool in the summer for another community function. Kahn told Council this firm only does recreation complexes. They have a lot of experience and have though through things like costs, cost savings, labor savings and cost benefits. Councilman Coll iris asked how many local firms showed an interest in this. Fucak said there were 3 in the top 7. Councilman Collins said recently the Council adopted consultant selection procedures anc asked if these were followed. Pucak said this selection was one of the first to use those procedures. Mayor Stirling asked when Council will. :yE~e tr+e c~rAit_al budget. A~~ tc:hel]- :;aia staff will present this tree erAc~ of October. Pueak told Council the consultants are willing to accelerate their schedule. Mayor Stirling said these are two amenities for a resort, and the existing facilities do need improvements. Council needs to determine what is the most important and which ones the community wants. It is very important to have this infarrr~ati.on to make choices, to determine if it i. affordable, anG who tree facilities will serve. 20 Regular Meeti-n~a--- -- - -- -- --Aspen- City Council _ July X81 1986 Councilman Isaac said the consultants should interview the school board.
