RE: Colorado Riff Raft Temporary Use Permit, Corner of Aspen and Juan Streets
DATE: April 22, 2002
SUMMARY:
The Applicant, Peter Hicks, President of Colorado Riff Raft, is requesting a temporary
use permit to store rafting equipment and vehicles on Lots 7-12, Block 11, Eames
Addition, City and Townsite of Aspen, which is located at the intersection of Juan and
Aspen Streets. The Community Development Department recommends approval of the
temporary use permit for Colorado Riff Raft from May 1, 2002, to September 30, 2002,
with conditions.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
Council approved this temporary use in this location in 2001, 2000, 1998, 1997, 1996,
and 1995.
BACKGROUND:
Colorado Riff Raft has been operating in Aspen since 1979. Several sites in Aspen have
been used for storage and staging of equipment. This site has proven to be better
logistically than other sites. Colorado Riff Raft did not use the property in 1999 for a
storage area because it was used by the Aspen Skiing Company as a construction staging
area for the Sundeck. Six out of the last seven years, City Council has approved an
identical temporary use request for this location.
CURRENT ISSUES:
This company has maintained a good relationship with the surrounding neighbors and
City staff has received no formal complaints in 1998, 2000, or 2001. The Applicant
indicates that he has researched other sites, but has yet to find a site that is both suitable
for the staging area and that the owner is willing to lease to Colorado Riff Raft during the
summer months to make it a permanent staging area. In the next year or two this site will
likely be under construction as part of the SavanahBarbee development which has
received conceptual approval. City Council should decide whether they want to include a
condition of approval that specifically precludes the Applicant from pursuing a
temporary use in the future. (The attached resolution does not include this language.)
STAFF COMMENTS:
26.450.030 Temporary Use Criteria and Staff Findings
When considering a development application for a temporary use, City Council shall consider,
among other pertinent factors, the following criteria:
A. The location, size, design, operating characteristics, and visual impacts of the
proposed use.
Staff Finding:
Colorado Riff Raft is proposing to use this site to store approximately 20 vehicles and 6
trailers with rafts. This site is approximately 18,000 square feet and is used in the winter
as a parking lot for Aspen Skiing Company employees.
Raft guides for the morning trips will be on site generally from 6:30 a.m. to 9:00 a.m.
Raft guides for the afternoon trips will be on site generally from 11:30 a.m. to around
12:30 p.m. The raft guides will return to the site between 4:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. All
guides are expected to be finished by 7:00 p.m. Periodically, guides will be on site for
logistics and maintenance. No raft customers will be on site.
Staff feels that the Applicant has taken appropriate measures to minimize the impacts of
the temporary use on site in the past. Staff believes this criterion is met if the Applicant
strictly adheres to the conditions proposed by Staff to regulate drainage from washing
equipment, tracking mud on to City Streets, parking of vehicles, and any bear -proof trash
disposal containers.
B. The compatibility of the proposed temporary use with the character, density and
use of structures and uses in the immediate vicinity.
Staff Finding:
This property is zoned R-15 PUD. Zone districts in the immediate vicinity of the subject
parcel include Lodge/Tourist Residential, Park , & AH-PUD. The uses in the area are
mostly multi -family residences and small lodges. Staff feels that the Applicant has
worked with the neighbors in the past to ensure they are not disturbed by the operation.
Staff has no reason to believe that the Applicant's operations this summer will have any
conflict with neighborhood. Staff finds this criterion to be met.
C. The impacts of the proposed use on pedestrian and vehicular traffic and traffic
patterns, municipal services, noise levels, and neighborhood character.
Staff Finding:
The temporary use will have very little impact on the traffic patterns in the area. The
applicant should make proper arrangements with the Water Department for water to be
used. Noise levels are expected to be minimal and diminished by the surrounding
vegetation.
D. The duration of the proposed temporary use and whether a temporary use has
previously been approved for the structure, parcel, property or location as
proposed in the application.
Staff Finding:
The proposed temporary use will be from May 1, 2002, to September 30, 2002. A
temporary use permit was approved for this use for the Summers of 2001, 2000, 1998,
1997, 1996 and 1995 at this same location. Staff has had no significant problems with
the use in the past. Staff finds this criterion to be met.
E. The purposes and intent of the zone district in which the temporary use is
proposed.
Staff Finding:
The subject parcel is really the only property in the area that is zoned R-15 (Moderate -
Density Residential. The majority of the area surrounding the parcels is zoned Lodge/
Tourist Residential. The purpose of the Lodge/ Tourist Residential Zone District is "to
encourage the construction and renovation of lodges in the area at the base of Aspen
Mountain and to allow construction of tourist -oriented detached, duplex, and multi-
family dwellings." The site, however, is somewhat separated from the surrounding uses,
and the applicant has maintained a good relationship with the neighbors. Due to these
factors, Staff feels that this temporary use is compatible with the area. Staff finds this
criterion to be met.
F. The relation of the temporary use to conditions and character changes which may
have occurred in the area and zone district in which the use is proposed.
Staff Finding:
Because Colorado Riff Raft has support from the neighbors, Staff feels that this
temporary use is compatible with the area. The use is compatible with the surrounding
L/TR zone district uses as they both serve the summer tourist market. Staff finds this
criterion to be met.
G. How the proposed temporary use will enhance or diminish the general public
health, safety, or welfare.
Staff Finding:
The storage of rafting equipment on this site will not diminish the public health, safety, or
general welfare. Successful local businesses enhance the general public welfare. In the
past there has been high bear activity in the area. The Parks Department is requiring that
a bear proof dumpster that automatically locks be available on -site so that waste may be
put in its proper place in an effort to keep the area clean and free of trash that may attract
wildlife. Staff finds this criterion to be met.
REFERRAL AGENCY COMMENTS:
The Engineering Department requires that the Applicant keep water and sediment from
running into the street or public right-of-way while washing their equipment. The Parks
Department requested that no Colorado Riff Raft employees be allowed to park in the
nearby Willoughby Park parking lot. Environmental Health requires that Colorado Riff
Raft keep the parking lot organized and free of waste and provide an automatically
locking bear -proof dumpster. The Environmental Health Department is also requiring
that the Applicant only use biodegradable soap while cleaning their vehicles and rafts on
site. Additionally, the Environmental Health Department is requiring that water used for
cleaning vehicles not drain off -site. The Water Department has required that the
Applicant set up an account with the Water Department for their water needs. Staff has
incorporated the referral agency comments in the proposed resolution as appropriate.
RECOMMENDATION:
The Community Development Department recommends approval of the Colorado Riff
Raft temporary use permit for the storage of raft equipment and vehicles on Lots 7-12,
Block 11, Eames Addition, City and Townsite of Aspen, with the following conditions:
1) The duration of this temporary use permit shall be from May 1, 2002, to
September 30, 2002.
2) Raft guides may be on site from 6:30 a.m. to 9:00 a.m., from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30
p.m., and from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. Raft guides may be on site for incidental
reasons anytime between 6:30 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. No raft guides may be on site
between 7:00 p.m. and 6:30 a.m.
3) The Applicant shall take appropriate measures to minimize the impacts of the
temporary use on site, including but not limited to, drainage from washing
equipment, tracked mud, parked vehicles, and any trash disposal containers. An
automatically locking bear proof trashcan shall be placed on -site and be utilized
by the raft guides to eliminate waste and trash on -site. The Applicant shall have
the Parks Department inspect the bear proof trashcan prior to commencing raft
trips.
4) The Applicant will make appropriate arrangements for a separate account with
the City Water Department. The Applicant shall initiate an account with the City
Water Department to account and pay for water usage.
5) No customers of Riff Raft are permitted on site.
6) The Applicant shall manage and conduct activities on site in such a manner as
not to create a nuisance, as defined in Section 15.04.520 of the Municipal Code.
7) The Applicant shall not create or allow noise levels in excess of those permitted
as set forth in Section 18.04.040 of the Municipal Code.
8) The Applicant shall comply with Section 13.08.110 of the Municipal Code,
which prohibits idling the motor of a stationary vehicle for more than 5 minutes
within any one hour time period.
9) The Applicant shall alleviate parking problems on neighboring streets by
ensuring that employees of Riff Raft are provided access to legal parking while
working.
10) There shall be no parking/staging/shipping by Riff Raft on Mill Street (West
Side) nor on Juan Street.
11) The Applicant shall only use biodegradable soap when cleaning vehicles and
may not let the water used drain off the property.
12) The Applicant shall adhere to all representations made in the application and in
public hearings. Failure to comply with the conditions of approval or
representations made shall be cause for the suspension of the temporary use
permit.
PROPOSED MOTION:
"I move to approve Resolution No.s�, Series of 2002, approving with conditions a
temporary use permit for Colorado Riff Raft to store rafting equipment and vehicles on
Lots 7-12, Block 11, Eames Addition, City and Townsite of Aspen."

It's that time of year again and I would officially like to apply for a temporary use permit for the
Tennis Court parking lot across the street from the Skier's Chalet Steakhouse on the corner of Juan
and Aspen Streets. We have used this lot for a staging area for our rafting trips in past years and it
has seemed to be a beneficial situation for both the neighbors and us. I have been in contact with
Steve Sewell of the Aspen Ski Company and he has indicated that the property will not be developed
this summer and would be available for our use.
This location is ideal for us to be able to park our vehicles, store our equipment and be close enough
to the center of town to quickly adjust to our customer's needs. We are the only Aspen owned and
based rafting company and have been since 1979.
The size of the area is about as large as two tennis courts. We will not be using any permanent
structures nor will we have to make any modifications to the lot area. The buses are parked in
orderly rows and all of the equipment is stored inside the vehicles. This proposal will not have any
adverse effects on the character of the neighborhood and will not increase the density in any way. In
fact, many of the neighbors prefer to have use there because they know we will keep the area clean,
we will keep it clear of unwanted cars or people looking for an out of the way place to hang-out or
even camp. Since this situation is so valuable to us we are hypersensitive to respecting the neighbors
property and are very strict on having our employees oparate as quietly as possible while they are
there.
We would like to start bringing our vehicles into town and up to the lot by the 1st of May. Our lease
from the Aspen Ski Company runs from the Pt of May to the 31st of September.
Thank you, James, for taking the time to review this request. It is obviously a y= important part of
our operation so please feel free to call me with any questions or if I can provide any more
information.
Sincerely,
Peter Hicks

Here is the information that you requested concerning our operations and use of the land at Aspen
and Juan streets:
■ Colorado Riff Raft has been in operation and locally owned since 1979. The founder, LJ
Erspamer (still an Aspen resident), sold the company in 1997 to Peter Hicks who is the
current owner.
■ The company specializes in whitewater rafting trips on the Roaring Fork, Colorado and
Arkansas rivers. Our main office is in the North of Nell building at 555 E. Durant with a
small satellite sales booth in Snowmass Village.
■ Riff Raft employs approximately 40 people all of whom live in the Aspen/Snowmass area.
Many of the employees are also Aspen SkiCo employees in the winter season.
■ We currently own 5 buses, 3 mini buses, 5 trailers and 8 vans along with 24 boats and all of
the necessary paddles, frames, etc.
■ For the past 10 years we have used the lot at Aspen and Juan Streets as our parking/staging
area. Basically, it's the area where we park all of our vehicles and prepare trips to go out.
The vast majority of our trips are either morning half day trips or full day trips. Therefore,
once the vehicles leave in the morning, anywhere from 8:15 — 9:00, they are usually gone for
the day. There is very little traffic, movement or activity during the days. At the end of the
day when the trips return, vehicles and gear are washed off (we have an arrangement with
one of the neighbors to use their water) and stored for the night. We never have any
customers on the lot.
■ We supply the lot with our own dumpster and Porta Pottie. We also have an arrangement
with one of the neighbors to use an electrical outlet which is used primarily to run an electric
pump for the boats.
This location is ideal for us to be able to park our vehicles, store our equipment and be close enough
to the center of town to quickly adjust to our customer's needs. We are the only Aspen owned and
based rafting company.
The size of the area is about as large as two tennis courts. We will not be using any permanent
structures nor will we have to make any modifications to the lot area. The buses are parked in
orderly rows (see attached diagram) and most all of the equipment is stored inside the vehicles. This
proposal will not have any adverse effects on the character of the neighborhood and will not increase
the density in, any way. In fact, many of the neighbors prefer to have use there because they know

possible while they are there.
We would like to start bringing our vehicles into town and up to the lot by the 1st of May. Our lease

1 iere is the information that you requested concerning our operations and use of the land at Aspen
and Juan streets:
• Colorado Riff Raft has been in operation and locally owned since 1979. The founder, L1
Ersparner (still an Aspen resident), sold the company in 1997 to Peter I Iicks who is the
current owner.
■ The company specializes in whitewater rafting trips on the Roaring fork, Colorado and
Arkansas rivers. Our main office is in the North of Nell building at 555 E. Durant with a
small satellite sales booth in Snowmass Village.
a Riff Raft employs approximately 40 people all of whom live in the Aspen /Snowmass area.
Many of the employees are also Aspen SkiCo employees in the winter season.
• We currently own 5 buses, 3 mini buses and 8 vans along with 24 boats and all of the
necessary paddles, frames, etc.
■ For the past 10 years we have used the lot at Aspen and Juan Streets as our parking/ sta} ing
area. Basically, it's the area where we park all of our vehicles and prepare trips to go our.
The vast majority of our trips are either morning half day trips or full day trips. 17herefore,
once the vehicles leave in the morning, anywhere from 8:15 - 9:00, they are usually gone for
the day. There is very little traffic, movement or activity during the days. At the end of the
day when the trips return, vehicles and g=,.aie'washed off (we have an arrangement with
one of the neighbors to use their water)'And stored for the night. We never have any
customers on the IoL
■ We supply the lot with our o n Jumpster and Poga Pottie. We also have an arrangement
with one of the neighbors to use an electrical outlet which is used primarily to run an electric
pump for the boats.
This location is ideal for us to be able to park our vehicles, store our equipment and be close enough
to the center of town to quickly adjust to our customer's needs. We are the only Aspen owned and
based rafting company.
The size of the area is about as large as two tennis courts. We will not be using any permanent
structures nor will we have to make any modifications to the lot area. The buses are parked in
orderly rows (see attached diagram) and most all of the equipment is stored inside the vehicles. This
proposal will not have any adverse effects on the character of the neighborhood and will not increase
the density in any way. In fact, many of the neighbors prefer to have use there because they know

John, Our concerns are based around parking and trash. We would like to remind that the
applicant does not park off of the pave portion of the lot. Additionally al trash generated in
the vehicles should be removed from the lot and absolutely no trash cans on site. (unless
Env Health has a different view on trash)
I think I am going to miss this one as well.
