PROCLAMATION - Flag Day Mayor Stirling said June 14th of each year has been designated National flag day by the U. S. Congress. The Congress has asked municipalities to participate in flag day. Mayor Stirling read a proclamation declaring Wednesday, June 14, 1989, as Flag Day. The Mayor and Council urged all citizens to pause at 7:00 p.m. EDT to pause for the pledge of allegiance. OUTSTANDING EMPLOYEE BONUS AWARDS Mayor Stirling said these awards are given quarterly. Brad Onsgard, police department received an award for the work done in introducing the DARE program to the school system. Rod Tweet, recreation department, received an award for coordinating a new youth basketball program. The program had volunteer coaches, practices and games with over 60 boys and girls participating. Linda Van Gaasbeek, finance department, received an award for learning new skills, helping out with the payroll and utilities systems and being able to generate financial statements using symphony software. Roxanne Eflin, planning department, received an award for successful efforts at promoting National Historic Preservation week, revising the land use code with respect to demolition and minimum maintenance of historic structures, and continuing courses on her own time. Jacque Whitsitt, personnel department, received an award for establishing the safety/risk bonus award program. The Mayor and Council presented these employees with a certificate and a check. GLOBAL WARMING Bob Child requested the city adopt a work plan to support the resolution earlier passed recognizing the problems of global warming. David Mitchell told Council chlorofluorocarbon are used in many different products. CFCs are very non-toxic and safe for use. A product containing CFCs releases these twice, once during production and once when the product is destroyed. When CFCs are released into the atmosphere, they take a long time to reach the stratosphere, from 75 to 400 years. Very few things can break up these molecules, one is ultraviolet rays. Up in the stratosphere when CFCs are hit by ultraviolet rays, the chlorine atom starts to destroy the ozone. One chlorine atom can destroy up to 100,000 ozone molecules. Mitchell said there are solutions to using CFC containing products, like not using air conditioning, requesting paper packaging at the grocery store, and using shredded newspaper for packaging instead of Styrofoam peanuts. Mitchell said if the 1 Regular Meeting Aspen City Council June 12, 1989 country does not do something to lessen the CFC output, they will loose much of the ozone. Ian Smith told Council carbon dioxide is responsible for 50 percent of global warming. Smith said 18 billion tons of CO 2 are emitted into the air each year, which is about 3.6 tons per person each year. Smith said fires, factories and car exhaust emit excessive amount of CO2, which rise into the upper atmosphere. Smith said most rays cannot go through the upper atmosphere and cause global warming. Smith said the temperature has risen 1 degree Fahrenheit in the last century; it was only a 3 degree change to end the Ice Age. Smith told Council up until the industrial revolution, there were 280 ppm of CO2 in the air; now there are 340 ppm. Smith said solar power is probably the best solution because it is a long term solution and does not have any damaging effect on the environment. Using the bus system and planting trees are also good solutions. Child said in the resolution there are some legislative actions. One is requiring an alternative to plastic foam; another is to encourage GMP scoring systems for practices that recognize the greenhouse effect in new development. Child told Council the county has adopted a revision to the building code to require the use of alternatives to CFCs, and to revise the building code to reflect energy savings as recommended by Amory Lovings, and to enforce regulations concerning woodburning. Some administrative actions are to target fuel reduction of 15 percent in each department in the city; recognizing the role recycling plays and to support a recycling program, to establish a citizen task force to review and recommend programs to reduce automobile usage. Child said the city should set an example for the rest of the community by requiring alternatives to CFCs in city facilities; providing bins for recycling, having an energy audit, replacing light fixtures with state of the art fixtures, and prohibiting the use of city vehicles equipped with air conditioning. Councilwoman Fallin moved to approved Resolution #20, Series of 1989; seconded by Councilman Tuite, which commits resources to alleviate the problems of global warming or the greenhouse effect. Mayor Stirling directed staff to do follow up on each of the specific items so the city can report on what they are already doing and what specific actions will be taken. All in favor, with the exception of Councilman Gassman. Motion carried. CITIZEN PARTICIPATION 1. Fred Smith, Aspen Skiing Company, told Council they filed an application for an employee housing project in a new structure immediately adjacent to the Holiday House, which is 100 percent 2 Regular Meetin As en Cit Council June 12 1989 employee housing with 57 beds. Smith stsdinh a 4500 gsquarenfoot planning to add 9 one bedroom apartmen building. Smith said there are agenda problems in P & Z and Council and it will not be reviewed until the end of August. Smith requested Council sponsor the rezoning request from LP to restrict- ed multi-family to make the development possible, and to direct staff to allow for the review of this project to take precedence over other projects. Smith said if Council would direct this project to go forward, there may be a chance it could be occupied by Christmas. Mayor Stirling moved to sponsor the rezoning; seconded by Council- man Tuite. All in favor, motion carried. Mayor Stirling moved to direct the city manager enda as 11 100 there is any way to move this project up on the ag percent affordable housing project should be given a higher priority and have a report back on June 26; seconded by Councilman Tuite. All in favor, motion carried. Smith said there is limited space left in the Little Nell hotel retail area. Smith said it is important to preserve the tradition- al community retail services. Smith said he would be happy to entertain propositions for retaining these types of businesses. 2. George Pucak, ice garden, invited the community to an open house at the ice rink Tuesday, June 20 from 5:30 to 7:45. Pucak said a lot of the renovations at the ice rink have been completed, skating and rentals will be free this evening. 3. June Kirkwood said during the summer Lake Avenue becomes a speedway. There have been attempts to close this street during the summer. Ms. Kirkwood said people drive very fast in this area, and it is right across from a park. Ms . Kirkwood suggested this street should either be closed or speed bumps should be installed. 4. June Kirkwood said there should be bike lanes put in or improved on Maroon and Castle creeks and Independence pass. 5. June Kirkwood told Council she recently contacted the police department and was told that there was only one police person on night duty. Ms. Kirkwood said there should be more coverage at night. 6. Maureen said there is a problem with eart~i moving trucks going up and down Main street at great rates of speed, belching fuel and noise pollution. City Manager Bob Anderson said there is no alternative except patience. Anderson said a lot of the trucks are probably coming from the parking structure and there is no other way to get out of town. 3 Re ular Meetin As en Cit Council June 12 1989 7 . Carolyn Moore, representing the Thrift Shop 17 ° fromunoon toe3 are having a party for the town Saturday, June , p.m. This party is free for the town with a bs n40theanniversarys and soft drinks to celebrate the Thrift Shop Ms. Moore said they will use the east bay of the fire barn and the park next to the Thrift Shop. Ms. Moore requets~o theointersection street from the east bay of the fire departmen of Galena street. Ms. Moore said the reason for this request is to rope the area off so that people will not be drinking beer in the streets. Councilman Isaac moved to close Hopkins st ne 17 from noonlto 3a30 to the intersection of Galena, Saturday, Ju p.m.; seconded by Councilman Tuite. Anderson eaefor the area to left f lexible in case staf f has a different id be closed. Councilman Isaac amended his motion to state up to half of the block; seconded by Councilman Tuite. All in favor, motion carried. 8. Katie MacMahon, representing Frank Ross, told Council he recently purchased two lots, one of which was erroneously zoned LP in a 1982 ordinance which zoned existing lodges LP. Ms. MacMahon said this was a mistake and requested Council direct the city Ms MacMahon told attorney to draft a correction ordinance. . Council the Molly Gibson lodge sits on lots O, P, and Q, and the ordinance referred to the Molly Gibson as lots P, Q, and R. Lot R is owned by Mr. Ross and should be zoned R-6. Lot 0, which is zoned LP should be zoned R-6. Fred Gannett, city attorney's office, told Council the city can go through a formal rezoning process. Gannett said he believes this is a clerical error and could be corrected by a correction ordinance. Councilman Isaac moved to have a correction ordinance drafted and presented to Council to correct the miszoning on Lots O and R; seconded by Councilwoman Fallin. All in favor, motion carried. 9. Suzie Baker, and Linda Zarek, representing the Cooper Street Pier, Holy Shirt, Pinocchio's and other downtown businesses, told Council the businesses were not very happy about auto free days. Ms . Baker said business was down quite a bit these days . Ms . Baker said if the city decides to have other auto free days, more research should be done and businesses should be asked about auto free days. Ms. Baker said the auto free days were not planned very well. Ms. Zarek told Council her business was down more than 80 percent for these two days. Ms. Zarek said at the end of off season, many businesses are down in cash flow anyway, and this hurt a lot of businesses. Mayor Stirling suggested the Council have a report and initial evaluation of the auto free days on a coming agenda. 4 Re ular Meetin As en Cit Council June 12 1989 10. Charlie Tarber, Hub of Aspen, said since Lions eabout o where Coors Classic, there have been a lot of ques cycling is going in Aspen and if Aspen is going tknow if the ptown cycling event again.

Pasquarella expressed thanes ella said there department for helping with this program. Pasqu were over 200 kids participating. COUNCILMEMBER COMMENTS 1. Councilman Isaac said he saw the Mayor of Glenwood on television stating that Glenwood has started an effort to ban all plastics in restaurants and grocery stores throughout the city. The Mayor said Glenwood is looking for cooperation of all the communities in the valley. City. Manager Bob Anderruo`n. sTherehis will probably come up in the Roaring Fork Valley fo a discussion about solid waste, recycling and precylcing. 2. Councilman Isaac said Ute Electric has filed for bankruptcy protection and it might be a good time to ap the celectric rservice new arrangements for the city to take over within the city limits. Councilman Isaac said thave lan adecuate service is working well, and the city seems to h q supply of electricity. Council requested this be added to the list in the goals discussion. 3. Councilman Tuite said several issues were approved in a recent election and he would like staff to provide time lines for these projects . 4. Mayor Stirling said there is some work being done by the Sanitation District in the downtown and some street closures as a result. Mayor Stirling said Council has agreed there would be no street closure for city work this late in the summer. City Manager Bob Anderson said the city does not have control over other governmental agencies. Anderson said the city has been working with the Sanitation District to minimize the closures. Anderson said Council did not pass a law to prohibit street closures, and the Sanitation District has the legal right to do this through their easements. Anderson said the city has expressed their displeasure. Mayor Stirling suggested the city notify all utility companies with easements what the dates are the city is trying to keep the downtown open. Councilwoman Fallin requested the city keep an eye on the construction and that the city streets are repaired to the city's standards. Councilman Gassman said he 5 Reaular Meetin As en Cit Council June 12 1989 thinks it is crazy to dig up the downtown dnri~he Sanitation conference. Councilman Gassman suggested tell g District to wait until fall on this project. Council requested the city manager to follow this up. 5. Mayor Stirling requested Ellen Sassano, planning off ice, do an evaluation on the auto free days for the July 10 meeting. 6. Mayor Stirling said it is important that RFTA s nofttranslorg Company get started on the talks about the next pha P tation. 7. Mayor Stirling said there is a lot of gravel on the Maroon Creek bridge, which is out of the city's jurisdiction. Mayor Stirling said this is very dangerous to bicycle riders. Mayor Stirling suggested staff look into having the city sweeper sweep the edges of that bridge. City Manager Bob Anderson said histori- cally the city sweeper does this once a year. 8. Mayor Stirling moved that the $1790 is not taken from the CCLC's budget for asset replacement; seconded by Councilman Gassman. All in favor, motion carried. 9. Councilman Gassman asked if the last vote to sell the Red Roof Inns specifically allocated the money to renovate city hall. Councilman Tuite said the money has to go to the land fund. Councilman Gassman suggested there are a lot of other priorities in the city and before the money is spent, he would like to discuss this. City Manager Bob Anderson said he is planning to bring the city hall plans to a Council work session and Council can discuss funding at that time. 10. City Manager Bob Anderson anyone interested in going to the Colorado Municipal League should contact his office. 11. Fred Gannett, city attorney's off ice, told Council the city received a claim for $32 , 000 in regard to Sanitation District work. Gannett said this was sent to the city's underwriter, who denied coverage. Gannett said the city will probably receive a lawsuit on this issue. Gannet said the Sanitation District was doing some construction, came to the city for direction for a location and felt they were misinformed on that location. CONSENT AGENDA King Woodward told Council the Albert Schweitzer memorial will be in the southeast corner of Paepcke park. The memorial will be sized down. Woodward said he will give the city the design details as soon as the marble is received. 6 Re ular Meetin As en Cit Council June 12 1989 Councilwoman Fallin moved to approved the consent calendar as amended; seconded by Councilman Isaac. The consent calendar is A. Special Events - Wheeler; Rugby Club B. Albert Schweitzer Memorial Design C. Liquor License Transfer/Home Plate, Larry Sitney D. Maroon Creek Hydropower Project Wheeling Agreement E. Change Order - Parking Structure Alley Work All in favor, motion carried. ORDINANCE #28, SERIES OF 1989 - Creation of a Public Facilities Authority Cindy Wilson, f finance director, requested this be tabled for two weeks. There have been some problems between bond counsel and the insurance company on this issue. Joe Barrows, Kirchner Moore, told Council there are details to work through on the ground lease. Barrows said if the city were to decide not to lease the building back, the ground lease with the authority comes into question. Barrows said the city is leasing it from themselves at $1 per year. The lease would have to go to a fair market value lease after that point. Barrows said he will have to get an appraisal on the raw ground. Barrows said if this fails, he will get a rating on this issue. Barrows said he expects to be able to offer bonds by next week. Mayor Stirling opened the public hearing. Councilman Tuite moved to continue the public hearing to June 26, 1989; seconded by Councilwoman Fallin. All in favor, motion carried. ORDINANCE #29, SERIES OF 1989 - Lease/Purchase Agreement $6,500,000 Mayor Stirling opened the public hearing. Bob Irvin, bond counsel, said in Colorado the lease purchase mechanism is commonly used. The bond insurer is not aware of some of the processes that have to be followed. Irvin said this should a be resolved by June 26. Councilwoman Fallin moved to continue the public hearing to June 26, 1989; seconded by Councilman Tuite. All in favor, motion carried. ORDINANCE #27, SERIES OF 1989 - Ordinance #16, 1989, Language Clarification Alan Richman, planning office, told Council language was proposed at the second reading of Ordinance #16, which did not solve the 7 Regular Meeting Aspen City Council June 12, 1989 problem. The best solution was to clarify this language in a new ordinance. Richman added in 1(b)(2) existing floor area ratio. Mayor Stirling opened the public hearing. There were no comments. Mayor Stirling closed the public hearing. Councilwoman Fallin moved to adopt Ordinance #27, Series of 1989, on second reading as amended; seconded by Councilman Isaac. Roll call vote; Councilmembers Gassman, yes; Tuite, yes; Isaac, yes; Fallin, yes; Mayor Stirling, yes. Motion carried. GMQS/PUD AMENDMENT - Cottonwood Park (700 East Main) Cindy Houben, planning office, put up maps to show the original and the amended project. Ms. Houben said this is a request by the new owner, John Elmore, for an amendment to the existing approval for 18 residential units. Ms. Houben told Council P & Z reviewed this and has recommended approval of the rescoring of the application to receive approximately the same score as it initially received. Ms . Houben said P & Z has recommended approval of the PUD amendment and has authority to give final approval for stream margin review. Ms. Houben told Council the difference in the project is the proposed project has 12 free market units. The site plan has changed to move several units toward the Roaring Fork river, making the facade along Main street a little less. The applicants are creating 5 accessory units on site. These will be garden level units. Ms. Houben said the applicants received an extension for filing of the final plat from Council and were requested to place more deed restricted units on site. The original proposal has 1 one-bedroom unit; the new proposal offers 3 on-site deed restricted units, 2 one-bedroom and 1 two-bedroom unit. Ms. Houben said the floor area ratio will stay the same; the total square footage is 43,000 square feet. The unit mix has changed to request 3 and 4 bedroom units; the original proposal requested mainly 2 bedroom units. The site coverage is about 22,000 square feet. The applicants have added an additional 5 underground parking spaces. Ms. Houben told Council the applicants are requesting their cash-in-lieu payment be reduced from $685,000 since they are offering more on-site units. Ms. Houben told Council the calculations given to P & Z were $515,000 but the unit mix has changed, which changes the total number of people in the project. The applicants are stating they owe a cash-in-lieu payment of $440,000. Ms. Houben told Council this calculation was based on $20, 000 low income fee which was in existence when the PUD was approved. Ms. Houben told Council the PUD agreement stated a specific amount, $685,000 Ms. Houben pointed out the cash-in-lieu payment has increased and Council may want to consider increasing the payment because the PUD amendment section of the code states 8 Reaular Meetina ...Aspen Citv Council June 12. 1989 if an amendment is requested, the city ought to look at existing conditions in the community. Ms. Houben said Council may want to require the current rate for cash-in-lieu. Ms. Houben said the difference would be $220,000. Ms. Houben said the design of the buildings has changed signifi- cantly from the original design. Ms. Houben told Council HPC has looked at the design and has given comments. Ms. Houben said the community is gaining with this amendment as there is more employee housing on site; the city is still getting a cash-in-lieu payment, and is getting 5 accessory units on site. Andy Hecht, representing the applicant, reminded Council an extension was requested because there was a dispute of whether the original plans could be used or whether the copyright laws protected the plans. Council said if the owners went through an amendment, Council wanted 15 free market and 3 employee units. Hecht said the free market have been reduced to 12 units; there will be 4 restricted employee bedrooms, and 5 accessory units have been added. Stan Mathis, architect, said his assignment was to create something compatible with Main street and something that tries to blend in. Mathis said he looked at Main street from the Sardy House to Original curve. Mathis said they will create a landscaping focus on the knoll of the property. Mathis said they decided on a brick and stone structure to balance those of the Courthouse. Mathis said his design tries to create more of a neighborhood feeling. These units are 28 and 35 feet wide with an opportunity to create more detail on the facade. Mathis said all the cars required for the project will be parked underground, plus an additional 5 spaces. Mathis said he felt the recreation building was not appropriate for the project and it was removed. Mathis said the major cottonwoods will be retained with a seating area under the trees. Mathis said the project is not asking for any encroachment licenses. Mathis said the applicant is committing to do off site improvements as outlined in the previous PUD. Mayor Stirling said the major change are the buildings closer to the river. Ms . Houben said the applicants have worked to pull the buildings further back from the riverbank. Mathis pointed out this has lessened the impact on Main street. Joe Edwards reminded Council in June 1988, this project received a vested right, which included approving a site specific develop- ment plan and plat, and included by reference were the calculations for the $685,000 cash-in-lieu figure. Edwards said as representa- tive of the original owners, when the copyright lawsuit arose, he asked for a six month period to try and reconfigure the buildings to avoid the issues of copyright. Edwards said at the December 12, 1988, Council meeting, when the extension was discussed, he told 9 Regular Meeting Aspen City Council June 12, 1989 Council the two extra employee units to be built on site would be subtracted from the cash-in-lieu payments and the remainder of the cash-in-lieu would remain intact. Edwards said the new owners have tried to respond to the emerging community conditions and have more employee housing on-site. The owners made one of the deed restricted units a two-bedroom unit, and added 5 accessory units which do not go toward any reduction in cash-in-lieu payments. These 5 units are a significant volunteered contribution of floor area. Councilman Gassman moved to approve the GMQS/PUD amendments for Cottonwood park with the conditions noted in the memo and the cash- in-lieu at $440,000; seconded by Councilman Isaac. Mayor Stirling said there is about a 30 percent reduction in density but the bulk stays the same. The open space is increased. Mayor Stirling said he feels the affordable units have been significantly increased. Richard Roth said he would like to see a better ratio of deed restricted units to free market units. Roth said it may be better to get more units on site and eliminate the cash-in-lieu payments. The payments do not get units on line for 3 or 4 years. Roger Hunt said included in the P & Z recommendation was an alternative entrance to the garage on the north side. John Elmore, owner, said he is meeting with the property owners to the north and trying to resolve this issue. All in favor, motion carried. ASPEN HISTORICAL SOCIETY LEASE - Marolt Barns Councilwoman Fallin asked about this site as a potential problem with the EPA. City Manager Bob Anderson told Council he met with the department of highways on the EIS and one check off on the EIS is potentially polluted sites in the area. The department of highways is concerned that the mine tailings on this site might fall into this category. Councilwoman Fallin suggested some language be put in the lease to cover that probability. Anderson said the department of highways will worry about the potential problems in the location of the highway. No one is expecting the highway to go through this area or the city would not be leasing it to the historical society. Councilman Gassman said there is no description for what the city is leasing. Fred Gannett,~city attorney's office, said the legal description is 1.9 acres. The applicants are drafting up a description for an insert map. There will also be a survey done, which will be an attachment to the lease. Gannett said Council needs to address the liquidated damages in the lease. Bob Grueter, attorney for the historical society, feels the mandate at the last 10 Regular Meeting Aspen City Council June 12, 1989 vote obviates the need for the liquidated damages. Gannett said he feels the ballot question was advisory not mandatory. Rick Newton, historical society, told Council over 85 percent of the voters supported the idea of the historical society restoring the Marolt barn for a ranching, mining museum. Newton said he feels the community wants the site saved and wants the city to enter into a lease with the historical society. Newton said the historical society is going to start raising funds for phase one of the project. Newton said the historical society will be spending over $180,000 to make the building habitable. Newton said he feels the liquidated damages section is inappropriate for the plans of the historical society as well as contrary to the opinion of the voters. Newton pointed out paragraph 28 states that the Council may by majority vote terminate the lease prior to it's expiration. Newton said this paragraph negates the whole idea of the lease and creates a one-sided agreement. Newton said he does not feel this is the type of lease the voters had in mind when they overwhelmingly approved this. Newton said the trustees of the historical society feel they would be acting irresponsibly if they accepted this clause and asked that it be eliminated. Councilman Gassman said a lease without some provision for the city to terminate it is a sale. Grueter said there are provisions in the default clauses to get the tenant out of the property. Gannett said he drafted the lease so that if in the future there was pressure for a different type of use for the property, it would be fair to the historical society to be compensated for their improvements. Grueter said this clause makes it difficult to get financing because this appears as a two year lease. Grueter said if the people voted in favor of this lease, let them vote it out. Councilman Isaac said he feels the liquidated damages is in favor of the historical society. Grueter said the amount would be arbitrary and capricious because no one knows what it would be worth in 30 or 40 years. Councilman Tuite said even if there were a vote of the people, damages would have to be addressed. Grueter said the damages could be addressed at that time, rather than now. Anderson suggested Council agree on the form of the lease for the Mayor's execution with the understanding staff look at this issue. Councilman Isaac moved to approve the historical society's ground lease as to form with the question of the amount of the liquidated damages to be negotiated, and a new section be added concerning the possible environmental damage to the site, in the next 30 days; seconded by Councilwoman Fallin. Mayor Stirling asked why staff recommends approving the lease without working these two items out. Gannett recommended Council reach a conclusion on the damage issue. Gannett said he did not feel he has the authority to come up with a liquidated damages 11 Regular Meeting Aspen City Council June 12, 1989 figure. Council can negotiate and come up with a figure. Councilman Tuite said he likes the idea of having the voters end this lease, and a figure agreed upon if the voters decide to move the lessee. Grueter suggested this might be based on the consumer price index. A figure today would not have any validity in 50 years. All in favor, motion carried. Council requested a report back on July 10, 1989. NORTH MILL STREET SIDEWALK Chuck Roth, engineering department, said staff was instructed to look at installing a sidewalk along the west side of North Mill street because it is hazardous; there are no driveways, curbs or gutters. Roth said staff researched obligations of the landowners to participate in a sidewalk and was unable to find anything. Roth said staff wrote to the property owners and ask them to construct sidewalks as a matter of public safety. Roth said staff found an agreement where the Mill Street Venture agreed to construct 270 feet on North Mill street. Roth said staff requested participa- tion. The Sanitation District indicated they would be willing to participate. The Mill Street Venture indicated in 1980 they provided some 112 feet of sidewalk on their frontage and did not feel they had any further obligation. Roth pointed out the agreement was for 270 feet, and the Mill Street Venture had more sidewalk to construct. Roth told Council the county has also indicated their willingness to participate in this project. Roth said staff needs authorization for $14,000 to construct the sidewalk. Staff will then bill the adjacent property owners, and will reimburse the general fund for about $12,000. Councilman Gassman moved to allocate $14,000 from the general fund to finance the North Mill street sidewalk; seconded by Councilwoman Fallin. All in favor, motion carried. ORDINANCE #19, SERIES OF 1989 - Liquor License Training Councilwoman Fallin requested that this be tabled until the second meeting in September. Councilwoman Fallin said she has met with representatives of ASAP, the restaurant association, and the police department. Councilwoman Fallin recommended a committee be formed with representatives of the above groups to evaluate Ordinance #19 and to come up with a recommendation to make this voluntary instead of mandatory. Councilwoman Fallin said everyone recognizes the need for liquor servers to have training. John Walla said the restaurant supports this recommendation. Larry Dragon, ASAP, said they would like time to research the problem so there can be an appropriate response to the problem. 12 Rectular Meeting Aspen City Council June 12, 1989 Councilman Isaac moved to put this into the process as outlined; seconded by Councilman Tuite. All in favor, motion carried.

Councilman Peters said he feels this is a unique opportunity to serve his community, and he will give it his best effort. Councilman Peters said he feels the election results showed that a lot of people felt they did not have an advocacy on Council. Councilman Peters said he would like to be that advocate on Council. 2. Councilman Crockett thanked his supporters and the voters for the opportunity to serve on Council and to preserve and reclaim their natural habitat. Councilman Crockett said a campaign promise is to stop contributing to the problems of housing, parking, and transportation by stopping growth. Councilman Crockett said he wants to take affirmative action towards solving these problems. Councilman Crockett said Council should support the housing authority's request for staffing increases to complete an inventory of units in town and of raw land, to provide the housing authority with a project coordinator. Councilman Crockett said he would like Council to support RFTA staffing increases to investigate and implement the car and van pool and to pursue the financial viability of free ridership. Councilman Crockett urged Council to share ownership with the county in the EPA superfund clean up. Councilman Crockett requested Council to look into campaign spending limits. 3.

Mayor Stirling agreed it is critical to stay in touch with the citizens as Council seeks the long term, best solutions for the community. Mayor Stirling said he feels ,the character of the town is at stake, and he would like to reclaim Aspen's sense of wholeness. Mayor Stirling said the 14 Regular Meeting Aspen City Council June 12, 1989 total number of automobile miles has got to be constrained by economic incentives, government enactment, and education, and this should be done valley-wide. Mayor Stirling said he is excited about the prospects for the next two years. ELECTION OF MAYOR PRO TEM Councilman Peters moved to nominate Michael Gassman as Mayor Pro Tem; seconded by Councilman Tuite. All in favor, motion carried. COUNCIL APPOINTMENTS Mayor Stirling said the Mayor will serve on Colorado Association of Ski Towns, and Councilman Tuite will continue to be the representative to RFTA. Mayor Stirling requested Council to go over the list of appointments and at the next meeting Council can indicate which committees they would like to serve on. CITIZEN PARTICIPATION 1. Mary Martin, representing PRO, said PRO believes in the respect for the laws of government and for the inalienable rights for the people to vote. Ms. Martin said the results of any election should be implemented in an expedient manner. Ms. Martin said PRO does not believe any governmental body has the right to interpret the vote of the people and delay or ignore the implemen- tation of the voting outcome. Ms. Martin said the results of the May 2nd election was indicative of the wishes of the voters for the new government to expedite affordable housing and transportation issues . Ms . Martin said there was no reference to the Ritz Carlton project on the ballot. Ms..Martin said Council was elected by the people but was not given a mandate for a vote to detain, change, or reverse any previous vote or decision previously given to the Ritz Carlton. Ms. Martin reminded Council there is an option of the citizens for a recall vote. Ms. Martin said PRO is ready to exercise the option of recall if any attempt is made by Council to reverse the process and completion of the Ritz Carlton contract. Ms. Martin said PRO has been advised by legal counsel that Frank Peters must withdraw from not only discussing the Ritz Carlton project but also any vote pertaining to it. Ms. Martin said Councilman Peters is part owner of two hotels and is also a signatory of a lawsuit again the city pertaining to the Ritz Carlton. 2. Richard Roth said he has asked Council to look at the election process and to investigate whether all parties who investigated in the election process filed reports on issues and in giving help to candidates in terms of monetary funds. 3. Richard Compton welcomed the new Council. 15 Regular Meeting Aspen City Council June 12, 1989 CONCEPTUAL SPA/REZONING - Aspen Youth Center Tom Baker, planning office, told Council the Youth Center is requesting rezoning from Public to Public/SPA for the portion of the site that is in the county. This would be expanding the SPA overlay to cover the entire site. The request is also for conceptual SPA approval. This is the second step in the four step process. P & Z recommended approval of conceptual SPA with conditions. The BOCC has endorsed the concept of a youth center in this location with a request that the design be done so that if the youth center ceases to operate in this location, that the structure could be used for other community uses and that the lease be structured to allow this to happen. Baker said the Youth Center is located between the parking structure and the jail. The proposed size is 6500 square feet stepped down the hillside on two levels. There will be direct access to the plaza. Baker said staff feels this should be zoned SPA in total to provide a master plan for the site. The county portion is zoned public without an SPA overlay. Staff and P & Z went through the criteria for rezoning. This generally meets all criteria for rezoning except for demands on public facilities. Baker said it is staff's position that the applicant should be responsible for addressing. all impacts of the development. The applicant is proposing the parks department provide maintenance for the landscaping around the youth center and of the public rest- rooms. Baker said the activity Council desired for the plaza will be created by the youth center. There is direct access to the plaza level from the youth center. The design is stepped down the hillside on two levels, which compresses the footprint. Baker told Council the application calls for a maximum structure of 6500 square feet. Staff and P & Z felt that was excessive; P & Z recommended a maximum size of 5500 square feet. The structure is designed to be one story above the grade of the plaza. P & Z requested the applicants look at reducing the height 4 or 5 feet. The applicant requests that the landscaping from the parking structure be extended to this facility. Baker said staff is not sure there will be enough landscaping to do the facility justice. Baker said this will be looked at again at final presentation. Baker reiterated staff feels the applicant should be responsible for impacts created by their development. Baker said staff and P & Z feel this may not be the most effective use of a public resource. The Youth Center will function 6 days a week from 3 p.m. to late at night. The facility will be vacant until 3 p.m. Staff asked the applicant to look into multi-use of the facility to fill up the daytime hours. There is a concern that the building be 16 Rectular Meetincr Aspen City Council June 12, 1989 designed not only to meet the needs of the Youth Center but to be flexible for reuse should the Youth Center move to another location. P & Z and staff recommend approval of rezoning and conceptual SPA with conditions listed in the memorandum. Skip Berhorst reminded Council this process has been going on for about two years, and they have looked at different downtown locations. Berhorst said the opportunity arose with the parking structure and the library that there was a specific site that could be looked at in this area. Berhorst said everyone feels that transportation is important. The survey that was taken among the kids gave a strong indication they wanted to be in this area. There is a bus route in this area. Kids with cars can use the parking structure. This location is easily accessible for kids and for visiting kids. Mayor Stirling opened the public hearing. Matt Siegel said senior citizens and day care have their places to go. Youth of Aspen do not have a place to go. Michael Bergner said this should be a Youth Center for the kids so that they have a place to go and do stuff. Melissa Cohen said there are no place for kids to go and they need a place they can call their own. Jennifer Ibottson said the kids need a place of their own. Multi- use would not make it a place of their own. Albie Whitaker said the kids need a place for themselves and that they have helped make come true. Ann Anderson said this should be able to be used all day long for the kids. Prima Tretton said this should be a place for kids to go and not turn to alcohol or drugs to have a good time. Rachel Richards said during the summer months there would be a need for this facility to be open during the day. Ms. Richards said the city could restrict the growth of the program by restrict- ing the use of the building. Gary Ross, architect, said any time a facility is for multi-use, both uses will be compromised somewhat. Christopher Bigley commended the youth of the community for participating in this process. Hans Gramiger said the youth should have this facility for their own. Jon Busch agreed this should not be a multi-use facility. Sandy Whitaker said the kids are excited to have a place to go after school. Chuck Brandt told Council the school board unanimously endorsed the concept. Brad Onsgard, juvenile officer, said this facility is very needed. Onsgard said the kids need to have this facility to themselves rather than multi-use. Sue Considine said the kids have spoken and told the community what they want. Barry Bergner said visiting kids who can't ski all day would use this facility during the day. 17 Regular Meeting Aspen City Council June_12, 1989 Councilman Gassman said conditions talking about multi-use and what to do if this fails are coming from the attitude that this won't work. Councilman Gassman said this project has received more enthusiasm and support as it goes along. Councilman Gassman said if the community is going to do this, Council should be more whole heartedly supportive. Councilman Gassman said he is concerned about the P & Z recommendation on the hei ht. said if the community is serious about this, the buildin Gshould show that the kids are important. g Councilman Peters said he is an enthusiastic supporter of this project. Councilman Peters said conditions 5 and 6 are not important. Councilman Peters said it is important to see that this building is completely utilized. Gary Ross, architect, told Council they applied for the square footage of this facility at 6,500 square feet. The footprint is 3500 square feet. Ross said he can cut the building back to 5500 square feet without changing the footprint of the building. Ross said whether the building is 5500 or 6500 square feet will not change the impact of the building. Ross said they do not agree with that condition from P & Z. Tom Baker told Council P & Z did not have all the informa- tion when they were considering this and were responding to information developed prior to the architects fine tuning the plan. Mayor Stirling moved to approve the rezoning of the county portion of the Youth Center site from public to public/SPA and move to approve conceptual SPA for the Youth Center proposal with the recommended conditions, eliminating conditions 5 and 6, put 6500 square feet in condition 2, condition 3 as long as the building is sensitive to the other buildings without a height reduction, have a new condition 5 which is ~o hear every way this building is going to be successful and forget multi-use, leaving in the technical conditions; seconded by Councilman Gassman. Berhorst requested the Council allow this building to have the upper floor level as the same elevation as the plaza. Mayor Stirling agreed; Councilman Gassman agreed. Mayor Stirling amended his motion to delete condition #4; seconded by Councilman Gassman. Councilman Gassman said he feels the connection between downtown and the Rio Grande is very important. Councilman Gassman said how one gets down the hill between the Youth Center and the parking garage is critical to how the town and Rio Grande connect. All in favor, motion carried. 18 Regular Meeting Aspen City Council June 12, 1989 ORDINANCE #21, SERIES OF 1989 - GMP Quota Code Amendment Mayor Stirling opened the public hearing. Alan Richman, planning director, said this is part of a long term process where the city is dealing with both growth and affordable housing. Richman said staff has been looking at ways to produce new housing units, ways to preserve the inventory, and ways to reduce the demand for future affordable housing. Richman said the reason for this ordinance is to try and implement an interim growth strategy. Richman told Council P & Z feels the most serious problem facing the community is displacement of affordable housing and essential community services. Richman said P & Z feels these amendments will give everyone time to think and act in a sensible way to deal with these two issues. The code amendments will also insure that the town does not lose sites that might help solve these problems. Richman said the amendment create an affordable housing set aside, which breaks the residential quota into two, one being for affordable housing. Richman said the affordable housing will not be limited. Richman said this ordinance also requires that duplexes in all residential zones are required to be either 50/50 free market and affordable housing, or two free market units with two accessory dwelling units. Richman said in the lodge quota, the quotas are being reduced to the original methodology for 12 units in the downtown lodge district and 10 in the LP lodge district. The current quota is 45 units. Councilman Peters said his concern is that the older lodges are becoming other things besides lodges, and he would like a GMP allotment to be available.. Richman said staff and P & Z concurs with this but are concerned about making too many units available and getting developments that are out of scale. Mayor Stirling agreed if lodges are to preserved there has to be an incentive, which is tied to having enough allotments available. Richman told Council he went through the LP inventory, and the build out potential is about 175 to 185 units. Richman said there is no change recommended in the commercial quota. Richman said over the past 7 years, the commercial has been substantially below the quota. Richman said if Council wants to do anything with commercial, it will have to be dramatic to have an impact. P & Z felt with the loss of local serving commercial, it would be a mistake to take actions that tell the commercial segment they can raise rents because there won't be much growth activity. Mayor Stirling suggested having a set aside quota for local commercial services. Richman said the zones are very mixed; there is a problem limiting the way the uses turn out. 19 Regular Meeting Aspen City Council June 12, 1989 Mayor Stirling opened the public hearing. Fred Peirce asked about 'permitting duplexes if one-half is restricted to affordable housing. Peirce asked how existing duplexes owned by one individual would be treated, would they become non-conforming uses. Richman said they would become non- conforming uses. They could increase the FAR because they would not be increasing the use of the non-conformity. Richman said if the structure is totally demolished and rebuilt, there would have to be one affordable unit or two accessory dwelling units built. Peirce asked if this ordinance would make a condominiumized duplex non-conforming. Richman said the same provisions would apply. Richman said the ordinance is fundamentally to address new structures. Peirce suggested that already condominiumized duplexes be excluded from the ordinance. John Kelly asked if it is true that one cannot expand a non- conformity. Richman said the use cannot be expanded. Peirce said if a remodel were to require 75 destruction and reconstruction, there would still be two owners and two units. Peirce said the ordinance would require that one owner would have to move or become a moderate income person. Peirce said this is too restrictive and not within the intent of the ordinance. Richman said Council is looking at not having an accessory unit apply towards one's FAR. This may soften this provision. Kelly said he feels enlarging one side of a non-conforming duplex is expanding the use. Councilman Tuite moved to suspend the rules and meet until 10:00 p.m.; seconded by Councilman Crockett. All in favor, motion carried. Richman said a non-conforming use cannot be expanded as to area. Richman said he thought that section had been rewritten but it was not. Councilman Peters asked if a local owns half a duplex, does that make that person a non-conformity. Richman said a resi- dent/occupied unit does not provide relief. Richman reminded Council when they adopted Ordinance #47, rather than restricting units to middle income the units to restricted to residency was discussed. This did not get the support of the majority of Council. Richman said the city is using the dimensional require- ments to define the use, which is a mix of structure. Richman said he may be able to amend the language so this is not affecting the use provisions. Councilman Tuite said the city should not be discouraging people from the ability to enlarge because they will fall into a non-conforming situation. Councilman Gassman moved to~continue -the public hearing to July 10, 1989; seconded by Councilman Tuite. All in favor, motion carried. 20 Regular Meeting Aspen City Council June 12, 1989 ORDINANCE #23 l_ SERIES OF 1989 - Administrative Delay Alan Richman, planning office, recommended adoption of this ordinance. Richman said the direction is to use this administra- tive delay as a chance to reconsider what has and has not been accomplished through Ordinance #47. Richman said Ordinance #47 created an accessory dwelling unit. Richman said new subdivisions through the GMP process will have to provide on-site affordable housing rather than buying out through cash-in-lieu. Ordinance #47 adopted new FARs for the RMF, CC, C-1, office and LTR, which are much lower than prior FARS. Richman said Ordinance #47 was intended to deal with replacement housing, and it did not do a good job of that. Richman suggested Council begin the thought process of how to use this time period to reassess Ordinance #47. Richman suggested the city make an extra effort to involve people in the community to find out what's possible and what is real. Richman said P & Z should also be brought into the process. Mayor Stirling opened the public hearing. Rick Neiley, representing the Valley Hi, said he has problems applying this ordinance to Valley Hi. Neiley requested a motion to exclude the Valley Hi from this administrative delay. Neiley said the Valley Hi is different from other projects with respects to the administrative delay. Neiley said the Valley Hi would like exclusion from this delay with an amended application which would double the number of affordable housing bedrooms on site from 4 to 8, which would constitute 40 percent of the total bedrooms of the project. Neiley said they would agree to postpone demolition of the Valley Hi until after the ski season of 1991 to give the city an opportunity to implement regulations towards the development of affordable housing. Neiley said one change in the application proposes a request to vacate the alley to the north of the project in order to expand the building footprint to accommodate the additional bedrooms. Neiley said there would also be a waiver of additional parking. The increase in the project is up to 20 bedrooms with 19 parking spaces. Neiley said an amended project submitted under Ordinance #47 with increased community benefit is in order. Neiley said the applicant has done some detailed examination of what they think can be done with the project, including an analysis of the feasibility of a 100 percent employee housing project, or using a tax credit. Neiley said the applicants have a small building site and not a lot can be done about varying setbacks, open space and parking. Neiley said what the applicant paid for the property was based on the ability to develop before any of the moratoriums came up. Neiley said the applicants have a substantial 21 Regular Meet_ina Aspen City Council June 12, 1989 amount of reliance and long term good faith dealing with the city. Neiley said there have been suggestions about developing Valley Hi in a joint venture with the city. Neiley said he has not heard anything about how this might be accomplished. Neiley said the applicants are compelled to build in a reasonable return for the risk and investment. Neiley said they feel the increase to 8 bedrooms, which is double the number required under Ordinance #47, is a reasonable compromise and a reasonable expectation for the city out of a private developer. Councilman Peters said this proposal falls considerably short of his vision of Ordinance #47. Peters said he would like to see a regulation that calls for bedroom for bedroom replacement. Councilman Peters said this, does seem difficult for the Valley Hi. Councilman Peters said he cannot support an exemption for the Valley Hi based on two weeks of trying to work through pro formas. Councilman Peters said his goal is to start right now trying to preserve employee housing and to work toward a model that can be used to apply across the board. Mayor Stirling said he would strongly consider a city subsidy for this property. Mayor Stirling said in light of the RETT passed and the budget surplus, there are other things to investigate. Mayor Stirling said he is not prepared to exempt this project . There are no permits, there are no vested rights. Mayor Stirling said in the spirit of trying to achieve the long term community goals, it would be a mistake to start making individual exceptions. Mayor Stirling said this proposal is generous in the context of Ordinance #47; however, there are between 40 and 50 residents living in the Valley Hi. The proposal would house somewhere between 1/4 and 1/3 of those people. Martha Madsen expressed concerned about the direction the housing program is going. Ms. Madsen said she owns an apartment building in the west end and would like to come up with a program to collect on that property. Ms. Madsen said she has housed employees for 30 years. Terry Butler said the Valley Hi is an opportunity to take an apartment complex and turn it back into 100 percent employee housing. John Kelly, representing the owner of a duplex at 1035 East Hopkins, told Council this structure was exempted from both the prior moratorium and Ordinance #47. There was a demolition permit, which has lapsed. Kelly said by the time the building complies with stream margin review, the maximum structure is about 2500 square feet. The owner would like to build a 2500 square foot house. It would appear if the owner had to replace housing one to one, that would be impossible. Kelly said in the previous moratorium Council had a recognized exemption procedure. This ordinance does not provide for any exemption or hearing procedure. 22 Regular Meeting Aspen City Council June 12, 1989 Kelly said a lot of people have bought and sold property in reliance on Ordinance #47. Kelly said the city has to stop putting the burden of employee housing on a few citizens. Kelly said Council should be moving towards someway where the community as a whole bears the burden of the problem. Albie Kern, representing Dean Billings, told Council Billings has owned this property since the 1950's and during this period it has been rented to employees at less then the city' s income guidelines . Kern said now that Billings has the opportunity to sell the property and the purchaser was going to abide by Ordinance #47, along comes another moratorium. Kern said the city is using the wrong instrument; the city and the community need to look at a very important problem. The affordable housing problem has been growing for a long time. Kern said the moratorium is not the proper way to correct the problem. Kern requested Council exclude Billings' property from this moratorium. Kern told Council the tenants have been notified they will have to leave by August 1. The moratorium will not effect these tenants. Chris Bigley said laws should have clarity to them. Bigley said the city should create efficiency within the process. Neiley said when Council imposed the last moratorium, they had a target date of 6 months in which to accomplish new legislation. It took a little longer than 6 months to get this new legislation. Neiley said Council has only given themselves 90 days in this moratorium. Neiley urged Council to get ordinances adopted by September 12th and not to extend the moratorium. Richman said the 90 days needs to be used to create a legislative strategy. Councilman Crockett asked if the planning office can outline a timetable for the process to adopt ordinances, have hearings, give notice, etc. Mayor Stirling said his idea of the 90 days is to put pressure on Council to move as rapidly as possible. Richie Cohen said the city should say this is an emergency and meet up to twice a week to deal with the problem. Rachel Richards said she supports this moratorium. Ms. Richards said it is incumbent on property owners who have gotten great value here, to see this issue through with community interest and not self interest. Ms. Richards said the city needs time to catch up with the housing crisis. Richard Roth said he favors the mora- torium. Roth said the city's backs are against the wall to try in 90 days to reverse what has been going on in the community for 10 years. Roth said the city cannot afford to lose one more housing unit in the next year because nothing will be built in the next year. Mayor Stirling said there is a will among Councilmembers to make something for the whole town happen. Council is talking about subsidies and other issues to deal with market values with the 23 Regular Meeting Aspen City Council June 12, 1989 owners and also to achieve community goals. Les Holst said this is a big problem with no pat answers. If Council makes a mistake, it has to be made in favor of the community. Council needs to have the moratorium as long as they need it to solve this. Jon Busch said he supports the moratorium, and it needs to be as long as it needs to be. Mayor Stirling closed the public hearing. Mayor Stirling moved to adopt Ordinance #23, Series of 1989, on second reading; seconded by Councilman Gassman. Roll call vote; Councilmembers Tuite, yes; Crockett, yes; Peters, yes; Gassman, yes; Mayor Stirling, yes.
