Congratulations to Amy Fustanio THE CiTY OFASPEN
City of Aspen Outstanding Employee Award
I am thrilled to congratulate Amy for receiving this award from the City of Aspen. Amy has
been the Kids First Program Coordinator for 2 years. Amy excels every day and goes out of
her way to capture a special opportunity in addition to getting her tasks completed. I feel
fortunate to have Amy as a critical member of our great team at Kids First. Her recent efforts
have been a major influence that has resulted in over $72,000 of new money to our
community, our schools, our childcare programs, and the'City of Aspen for childcare services
for young children, Amy's commitment to City of Aspen's values, her enthusiasm for her
work and dedication to our team is demonstrated daily. Thank you Amy.
Amy is our primary contact for families looking for childcare. She will make numerous follow-up
phone calls if a client is having problems; Amy also has provided all Spanish translation and
interpretation for 1 1/2 years without additional compensation. She goes out of her way to help
when other team members are overloaded and always has a smile on her face.
Amy's efforts have brought new dollars to childcare providers in Pitkin that strengthen and support
what Kids First is doing. Her encouragement and perseverance brought federal and state funding to
the Aspen School District preschool program for the first time. The original grant was for $52,000;
but it was immediately successful and attracted local funding from the Aspen Valley Community
Foundation and the Aspen Education Foundation. This program now serves 35 children who show
some risk factors for learning delays in school Some of these children may have qualified for Kids
First Financial Aid, but the cost to the city and the community would have been far greater than
dollars had these children not received services.
Amy successfully wrote a grant to the Aspen Valley Medical Foundation for $10,000 that provides
mental health visits, nurse consultations and education for licensed childcare providers and families.
Amy worked with counterparts in Garfield County to develop the program, timeline, training
needed, and evaluation.
Kids First represents Pitkin County in the Rural Resort Region Consolidated Childcare Pilot. This is
a 5 County initiative (Pitkin, Eagle, Garfield, Summit and Lake). Amy serves on the Quality
Improvement committee that has made quality assessment and mentoring available (through a state
grant) to programs across the 5 counties, including 10 programs in Pitkin County on the first round.
Total funding from this collaborative effort to Pitkin County alone is close to $10,000.
Because of these efforts - in which Amy has played (and continues to play) a big role - we have
also dramatically increased the public awareness in regard to Kids First and to early childhood
issues overall. Amy is always thinking of creative ways to communicate. She has personalized the
Kids First weekly column in the Aspen Times and shares much of herself and her family to make
the column timelier, friendlier, and much more interesting to local readers. She is respectful and
sensitive, even when faced with difficult people or situations. She is a constant reminder to our
whole team about doing things smarter, not just more of the same. She is able to clearly focus a
group on the outcome, get the job done and giving the credit to the team.

Mr. Stephen Kani¢e
Ms. Denise Driscoll
Dear Stephen and' Denise:
Congratulations! You have been selected to receive an Outstanding Bonus
Award to be presented to you at the next City Council meeting on Monday,
February 10. 2003. The Bonus Award Review Committee received a
nomination for your work on the remodel of the third floor, and agreed that you
both went above and beyond your regular duties to make the remodel happen.
As you know. the Community Development Dept. became "disjointed" with the
county last May. This is traditionally the busiest time of year for our dept., and
2002 was no different. 'With the separation of the two depts., it was necessary
for us to physically separate ourselves, yet remain on the same ,floor in a "co-
existence" situation. With a very limited budget of $50.000. Stephen, you were
able to find a local architect who could draft up floor plans for the minor remodel
and work with both jurisdictions for a nominal cost, and within the budget.
Stephen your diligence rn working with both city and counw staff and the
architect on the best configuration to improve our customer service and meet
internal needs for ouiet meeting space, and public interactions resulted in a plan
that could be agreed upon. You then pursued qualified contractors that could do
the job on time and within budget, and forwarded mese to Rebecca Weibel.
purchasing Officer. to put the wheels in motion. By making yourself available on
weekends to answer contractor questions and sign off on phases as the
construction progressed, we were able to complete the work on time and under
budget.
Denise,.you are being recognized for your hard work in cobrdir]ating each move
from office to office while supervising laborers to make surethings were properly
stored and located. No one wanted to change their locations but you were able
to work with each individual's schedule to complete the moves without holding up
the construction that was completed on weekends and evenings to minimize
disruotion to our customers.
Each morning you were the first to arrive to make sure our office still looked
professional and was safe for our customers. You spent a significant amount of
time coordinating not just [he moves but the new phone and computer lines.
lighting and electrical improvements that were needed in specific locations, ano
coordinating the campaign to get the new phone information out to our
customers. You both did this ,significant amount of work in addition [o your
regular duties of ensuring permits were processed and customers were helped.
There ts no doubt in anyone's mind that the remodel is a vast improvemem that
allows us to better serve our customers and has helped "clean-up" the space that
was not a pleasant work environment to be in~ The departments, as a whole,
appear more organized and more professional, and this leads to mdre pride in
the work accomplished. We spend much less time looking for improperly fi(ed
documents as the separation minimizes any jurisdictional errors we used to
experience. To have been able to complete such a significant remodel with such
a small budget and with no major problems is a tribute to your mutuai
commitment to getting the job done.
Please plan to attend the City Council meeting on Monday evening to receive
youn awards. Again congratulations on a job well done.!
Sincerely,
cods

City Manager to execute certain documents on behalf of the City of Aspen relating to the sale of
the "old pro-shop" to the Aspen Junior Golf Foundation. The documents that require execuuons
are as follows:
Changes to Deed Restriction on Resale Price and CPI: This matter came before City Council
at your last meeting and was not approved as some minor changes were requested to the Deed
restriction relating to the purchase price of the property in the event that the City re-purchased
the property in the future. The original Deed restrictions contained a provismn by which the
repurchase price would increase by CPI and a guarantee that the CPI used for the calculation
would not be lower than 2%, The revised deed restriction eliminates this guarantee, but includes
an mcrease in the re-purchase price from $200,000 to $225,000 to account ['or capital
improvements made to the building in recent months.
Agreement of Purchase and Sale: This is the contract that would obligate the parties to the sale
and purchase of the old pm-shop at the Municipal Golf Course. The Agreement states that the
Aspen jumor Golf Foundation will purchase the property for $200,000.00 to be paid in full ar
closing. The sale is contingent upon the execution of the following two documents:
Resale Deed Restriction, Agreement. and Covenants: This document places a deed restriction
on the property that in essence sets forth a re*purchase price for the property in the event that
Aspen Junior Golf is unable or un~villing to repay a $125,000.00 note to Emie Fyrwald. If Aspen
Junior Golf defaults on the note. Aspen Junior Golf will be able to sell the property back to the
City, and the City agrees to re-purchase the property within 90 days of receipt ora default notice.
The price of the re-purchase ~s set forth in the document at $225,000.00 adjusted by a CPI
spelled out in the document.
PlO
The deed restrictions also spell out certain use restrictions for the property that include: (I)
Aspen Junior Golf may not lease more than 50% of the building "to entities that meet the City of
Aspen Land Use Code definition of Non-Profit organizations and that a community service as
determined by the Community Development Director of the City;" and (2) the maximum rental

agzeements for the shared use of certain portions of the Municipal Golf course traditionally used

Junior Golf program of the practice area constructed by them at the far end of the existing
practice area located Northwest o£the first hole geen.

RE: Resolution #2003- l ~ : Approval of CMAQ funds for Phase 2 Cemetery
Lane Trail
CC: Paul Menter, Finance
SUMMARY: The Parks and Recreation Department staff has been working with
representatives from CDOT to obtain CMAQ (Congestion Mitigation Air Quality) funding
for a portion of the Phase 2 Cemetery Lane Pedestrian Trail project. The project has been
selected by CDOT as a project that will be fiznded, in part by federal funds for FY 2003.
CDOT has committed a $160,757.00 CMAQ grant to the City of Aspen for this project.
Staffis seeking Council approval to utilize the CMAQ grant money specifically for the Phase
2 Cemetery Lane Pedestrian Trail project.
BACKGROUND: City staff applied for CMAQ funding for this trail project because the
fully completed trail will help reduce PM10 generation With the CMAQ funding, the trail
can be paved with concrete that would reduce PM10 after the trail is in operation. Parks
Department and Environmental Health Department staff have calculated that a paved trail
surface will create a PM10 reduction of approximately 2.64 tons/year.
DISCUSSION: Based on the PM10 mitigation, CDOT has awarded a $160.757.00
CMAQ grant ro the City of Aspen. City Council has the discretion to accept the grant award
which will reduce the total project cost to the City. Upon Council approval of the CMAQ
grant m be applied to the Phase 2 construction, staff will work with CDOT for the fund
transfer.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: The $160,757.00 CMAQ grant will contribute to
the required funds to cover the estimated Phase 2 design and construction cost of
$I,376.300.00. The grant will specifically fund concrete costs for the 22,070 square feet of
trail within the Phase 2 project limits.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff is recommending Council approval of the $160,757.00
CMAQ grant to be fully' applied to the Phase 2 Cemetery Lane Pedestrian Trail project.
P48
PROPOSED MOTION: I move to approve the $160,757.00 CMAQ grant be used in
full for the Phase 2 Cemetery Lane Pedestrian Trail project.

I. STANDARD FORM CONTRACT
This is a standard form contract that is designed to efficiently contract for and administer 2 types of
program projects: i) program projects which include the same basic work elements (design;
constmctmn: construction administration by local agency; right-of-way; utilities: etc.); and also. 2)
program projects with specific differences in those basic work elements te.g., a specific project may
include design but no construction, or ~t'may include design and construction but the State will do
the construction administration, etc.~
The form contract accommodates both types of projects by using qualifying language to condition
the a~oylication of_12articular contract requirements, based on whether specific work elements are
included in the project. For instance, where the contract provides ... 'If the Work includes
engineering/design services, the Local Agency shall perform the following reqmrements ...", the
Local Agency need perform those requirements only if engineering/design services are expressly
included in the project, as defined in the Scope of Work. (Conversely, notwithstanding that language
is in the contract, the Local Agency can ignore those "requirements" if engineering/design services
are NOT expressly included in the Scope of Work.)
The Local Agency shall interpret such qualifying language in that manner. By using such language,
the form contract can apply to both the general and the specific types of projects, thus making it
easier to administer and saving the State and the Local Agency nme and expense.
II. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
'The project" or "the Work" under this contract shall consist of constructing pavement on Cemetary
Lane Trail to reduce the PM-10 emissions, in Aspen. Colorado, as more specifically described in
Exhibit A, attached hereto and made a part hereof(the Form #463 and/or a "Scope of Work") as it

RE: Noise ordinance revisions
SUMMARY: This memo summarizes the proposed revisions to the City Noise Ordinance as
discussed by Council at the August work session. The purpose of the revistons is to make the
ordinance consistent with City Council's goals for events and to make the ordinance easier to
understand.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION: Council directed staffto revise the noise ordinance incorporating
the issues and ideas discussed at the August work session.
BACKGROUND: The City of Aspen noise ordinance has been in place since 1981. The existing law
has worked very well for the past 22 years, with minor exceptions.
The ordinance was amended two years ago to allow variances for special events 9n l~ublic r~ro~ertv to
exceed noise levels set in the law. Events that take place on private property, such as weddings or
parties at hotels, or evems at Highlands Village still could not apply for a noise variance. Also, the
amendments did not specify how many variances should be granted at any one location, or how to
manage these variances, such as the length of time the event could exceed the noise levels. It is staff's
opinion that the existing law is inconsistent with what Council wants for events and vitality in Aspen.
Staff also believes that if Council wants to encourage such activities staff should not be requiring
applicants to submit paperwork and pay fees that create a burden for the. applicants.
Gas powered leaf blowers have been illegal since 1981. Staffhas received citizen petitions and
complaints about the continued use of gas Powered leaf blowers. The proposed changes allow electric
leaf blowers, which are quieter, as a viable alternative for landscapers, property managers and
homeowners,
In the past there had been issues on how to measure noise and reluctance to enforce, especially on the
weekends. The proposed changes eliminate the requirement of 1 O-minute readings and authorize any
Type of enforcement officer to respond to a noise complaint.
Noise exposure can lead to permanent, incurable hearing loss or permanent ringing of the ears, and can
contribute to increased psycholog/cal stress and reduced productivity. In order to protect the public
health and quality of life of Aspen's citizens, the Environmental Health Department recommends the
strictest standards to preserve peace and quiet consistent with Council's other goals.
DISCUSSION: The major changes in the ordinance include:
Treating all public events the same, whether they require a Special Event Permit or not,
(Public events would be allowed to exceed zone district noise limits during certain hours.)
P72
· Noise exceeding the zone-district levels is allowed for public special events during the
hours between 9 AM to 9 PM with a decibel limit of I00 dbA (Staff suggests 100 dbA
since it worked for Spring Jam the last two years). This removes the variance requirement
and fees for SpeciaI Events.
· Private events like weddings at hotels are allowed, with the same time limits and controls as
for public events, with additional requirements. These requirements include that noise
cannot exceed 80 dbA, maximum of two per week per property and should events disturb
neighbors, event organizers will meet with the Environmental Health Department to
determine additional control measures to reduce impacts on neighbors in the future.
· Discontinuing the "four per year" policy for the Farmers' Market allows the appropriate
number to be determined in their vending agreement with the city.
· Athletic events are allowed to exceed zone-district noise levels from 7 AM to 9 PM to
t~ccommodate running races.
· Noise from construction sites throughout town (not just in residential areas) is limited from
7 AM to 7 PM, Monday thru Saturday. This is the existing restriction for residential areas,
but many commercial areas adjoin residential areas and lodging areas. This preserves a
measure of quiet in these areas as well.
· Allow electric leaf blowers as a viable altemative to gas powered leaf blowers, which have
been illegal since 1981.
All the changes to the noise ordinance will be publicized and staffwill work with the CSOs and other
enforcement officers to make the transition as smooth as possible.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: We hope these changes reduce stafftime spent on processing
paperwork. It will reduce revenues to the City for noise variances ($578 in 2002), but will also reduce
costs to the public.
RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff recommends that Council approve these revisions that address noise
at all types of events, reduce and streamline paperwork, simplify the ordinance and clarify
enforcement. Staffbelieves the revised ordinance provides a balance between Aspen's peaceful
coexistence with nature and the excitement and vitality of its culture.
ALTERNATIVES: Alternatives include not allowing noise at any private events.

Aspen noise ordinance."

RE: Proposed Fee Increases 2003
SUMMARY: Request is for the approval and acceptance of fee increases as omlined in
Attachment A, resulting in an approximate 3% budget increase for the year 2003.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION: Council has reviewed on first and second reading proposed
fee increases for 2003, however has requested further input ~n i6g'iili~on-profit arts
organizations. This item is therefore returning for first reading on February 10 and scheduled
public hearing on February 24.
BACKGROUND: Fees have not increased since 1997, and in 1998 the Wheeler Opera House
changed its fee structure and ratgs resulting in significant reduction in fees. Current rates, even
those applicable to for-profit entities do not cover associate~ expenses. A fee increase is
suggested due to inflationary increases over the years and the need to clarify the recording tee
structure.
At the direction of Council, I have contacted over 35 local arts organizations through an email
providing detailed information regarding the proposed fees. I have also contacted personally
those organizations that have rented the Wheeler in the recent past. I have included in
Attachment B a copy of my memo and a detail of comments from those organizations I was able
to reach. (See Attachment B)
DISCUSSION: I am estimating an increase to fees resulting in approximately a 3% budget
increase for 2003, specific fee line items have proposed increases ranging from 0 - 20%. The
reason for this broad range is that some fees need more of.~an_ adjustment than others in order to
approach covering costs associated with those items. Rate increases are only suggested for a few
fees, all other fees will expenence no mcrease. Renters of the Wheeler will experience a slightly
different fee increase based on the nature of their event. The most significant change to fees
involves events that choose to record in the Wheeler Opera House. This has historically been a
gray area, where associated costs can vary greatly and more latitude is needed in applying the
appropriate fee. For example, the costs associated with and impact to the Wheeler vary greatly
when comparing an archival audio recording event ro a full camera television broadcast event.
A synopsis of the proposed rate changes ts as follows:
P84
Old Rate Proposed Rate % Increase
Phone Order Service Fee $3.00 $3.50 17%
Non-Profit Rehearsal Rate $25/Hour $30/Hour 20%
For-Profit Rehearsal Rate $50~65/Hour $60-75/Hour 15%-20%
Private Rehearsal Rate $150-I 65/Hour $175-I 90/Hour 15%-175 ~
Non-Profit Performance Rate $400~575fDay $425-600fDay 5% ~ 6%
For-Profit Performance Rate $900-1000/Day $950-1100/Day 6% - 11%
Private Performance Rate $1350-1850/Day $1400~2000/Day 4% - 8%
Recording Fees $5.000fDay $2000-3000/Day (40%-60%)
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: The net result of all proposed fee changes is an overall budget
increase of approximately 3%. The proposed increase is included in the approved 2003 budget.
Additionally, with/n the Wheeler LRP, an annual increase of 3 - 4% is projected. Th/s is
significant to the budget as we consider the impact ro our ability to meet Endowment Fund goals
and continuing arts grants suppom
RECOMMENDATION: The Wheeler Opera House Board and staff recommend approval of
the proposed fee increases as outlined in the attachment.
ALTERNATIVES: If no fee increases are made this year, then the Wheeler will continue to
operate as it has - there will be no impact to services offered. However, Wheeler operating and
maintenance expenses continue to rise each year, in effect, increasing the percentage of subsidy
to all renters of the Wheeler. Currently non-profits benefit from a 60 - 80% savings, and for
profit entities see approximately a 15+/~% subsidy.
PROPOSED MOTION:
CITY MANAGER COMMENTS:

MEMORANDUM
TO: Local Non-Profit Arts Organizations
FROM: Nida Tautvydas
Executive Director Wheeler Opera House
DATE: January 21. 2003
.
RE: Proposed Fee Increases 2003
'Some questions arose last week regarding proposed fee increases at the Wheeler Opera
House. This e-mail memo is an effort to help answer questions and clarify what is being
proposed and why.
I have discussed fee increases with some of you individually, and would like to speak to
representatives of each organization to clear up any remaining questions or concerns that
you may have. I will follow this email up with a phone call to each of you who have used
the Wheeler in the recent past, and would be happy to meet personally with any of you as
well.
In general, what most organizations will experience is a $25.00 fee increase per day. Some
organizations using the Wheeler for extended rehearsal periods may also see an increase
depending on the length of rehearsals and/or days in the theater.
BACKGROUND AND HISTORY: Nearly ail City departments follow a general practice of
4% annual fee increases. However, as you know, there have been no Wheeler fee increases since
I997. In fact, in 1998 the Wheeler Opera House streamlined its fee structure and rates resulting
in significant reduction in fees at that time. The proposed 2003 fee increase is intended to help
cover inflationary cost increases that have occurred over the past five years and to clarify the
recording fee structure.
Hopefully you are also aware that we have continued to improve the quality and scope of the
services offered and the technological capabilities of the Opera House. We have provided more
customized service for Our user groups, added internet capabilities, added and improved
equipment for which there is generally no additional charge (e.g., moving lights, video/proj ection
eqtfipment, and audio capabilities), streamlined operations and staff capabilities so that labor
involved can be minimized, and added marketing and advertising support - All of the these items
are generally at no additional charge, substantially reducing our renter's overall costs of using
the Wheeler and producing their events.
The fee structure at the Wheeler Opera House includes a number of items that are determined by
the nature of the event. Fees may include items such as base theater rental, labor, equipmem,
P88
incidentals, hospitality, box office fees, credit card fees, and other miscellaneous fees as dictated
by the event. We have and continue to operate with the philosophy of subsidized rates for local
non-profit entities and the desire to keep the facility accessible to the public. For these reasons
our rate structure favors non-profit entities and makes considerations for for-profit and private
events.
I am estimating an increase to fees resulting in approximately a 3%o overall budget increase. In
general, the reason for this broad range is that some fees need more of an adjustment than others
in order to approach covering costs associated with those items. Renters of the V/heeler will
experience a slightly different fee increase based on the nature of each event.
No increases are proposed for box office fees, credit card charges, labor, equipment, marketing
services, advertising, incidentals, materials, gratuities, etc. Additionally, non-profits will
continue tb receive free and subsidized labor rates.
Council has reviewed a first reading of the proposed fee increases for 2003. Fees are expected to
be approved at the Council meeting on Monday, February 10.
PROPOSED FEE INCREASES:
The Wheeler Board and staff recommend increases to the following fees:
Patron Phone Order Fee is proposed to increase from $3.00 to $3.50. This is an approximate
16% increase. This fee has been $3.00 since the 1980's and is aper order, not per ticket, fee
assessed to patrons ordering tickets by phone. Since the 1980's not only have we experienced
infiationary operating costs in the box office for items such as labor, materials, office supplies,
phone charges, etc., but also with technological improvements and increased capabilities we
have seen costs increase over the years for items such as computers, software, service support
agreements and the like.
Rehearsal rates are proposed to increase at approximately 18% -- from $25 per hour to $30 per
hour -- due to our increased and inflationary costs of providing rehearsal space that preempts
other programming.
Base Theater Rental fees are proposed to increase approximately 4% to 11%. Our structure is
based on high and low season, rehearsal or performance day, weekday and weekend dates, and
whether the event is a non-profit, for profit or private event. For example, onr daily performance
rate will increase as follows:
Non-profits 5% - 6%
For profits 6% - 11%
Private Events 4% - 8%
Daily Rental Rate - Performance Days
Fees Shown Include An Increase of $25 Per Day
Regular Season High Season
Non-Profit Non-Profit
Sun-Thnrs. Fd-Sat. Sun-Thurs. Fri-Sat.
P89
$425/day $500/day $525/day $600/day
* HIGH SEASON RATES APPLY TO THE FOLLOWING DATES:
Dedernber - March and June - August
The Recording Fee Proposal is not an increase, but rather a fine-tuning and recognition that all
recordings are not alike. Recording fees have historically been a gray area, where associated
costs can vary greatly and more latitude is needed in applying the appropriate fee. Financial
considerations involved include the physically taxing nature of recording in the facility, the
utilities used are greater than a general program, the audience is greater than the seating capacity
and our fees are based on one performance, and there are more monies generated with events thai
are recorded in the form of royalties, sales, sponsorships, etc. For example, the costs associated
with and the impacts to the Wheeler vary greatly when comparing an archival audio recording
event m a full 4-5 camera position television broadcast event. I am suggesting a variable fee
structure when it comes to recording so that we can best apply an appropriate fee to the type of
recording and the nature of it's purpose. I have noted that non-profits will be considered on a
case by case basis so that we do not assess higher fees than necessary. All fees stated are lower
than the old $5000 per day theater rental fee for recording.
The following rotes apply to any programs/event that will be recorded in any way. Listed below are the daily
rates (other fees may apply as outlined in the rental Packet).
Audio Recording Film/Video Recording Any Recordin~ for Live/Re~BroadcastJCD/DVD
$2,000* $2.500* $3,000
*Some fee considerations may be made in cases where a local non-profit is recording the performance for the
express/sole purpose of archival documentation and no reproduction, broadcast or sales of the recording of
any kind will be made. Disclosure statements are required and must be signed 3 days in advance of the
performance.
Endowment Fund Contribution:
Private events and any event where audio/film/television recording is involved for the purpose of broadcast
or reproduction shall be assessed an additional $1,000.00 per day or performance whichever is greater. This
fee shall be in lieu of item XXI, Section D of the Theater Use Agreement.
Additional Rental Charges include:
Multiple performances in one day shall be charged an additional fee of $250.00 ($150.00 for non-
profit organizations) per performance; charges for minimum personnel, speciahzed equipmem.
materials, and other incidentals. (A house manager shall be included in the rent for local non-profit
organizations. Other labor and equipment shall be subsidized for non-profit groups) See Wheeler
Rental Packet for detailed information. As stated earlier, proposed rates, even those applicable to
for-profit entities still do not cover associated expenses. These modest fee increases are being
proposed to heip offset cost increases over the past five years and to help financiall~y sustain the
Wheeler for the years ahead. We value each of you as evem sponsors and vitally important
community arts organizations. We look forward to continuing our excellent working
relationships and continuing to provide you with word-class facilities and services at very
affordable rates.

REVIEW CRITERIA & STAFF FINDINGS
ZONING THE PORTION OF THE MAROON CREEK ROAD ANNEXED INTO
THE CITY OF ASPEN PUBLIC (PUD)
REVIEW CRITERIA & STAFF FINDINGS
In reviewing an amendment to the official zone district map, the Planning and Zoning
Commission shall consider:
A. Whether the proposed amendment is in conflict with any applicable
portions of this title.
Staff Finding
Staff does not feel that the proposed zoning application is in conflict with any portion of the
Land Use Code. The City ~s required to rezone a property following annexation and the'PUB
(Public) Zone District is compatible with the proposed use.
B. Whether the proposed amendment is consistent with all elements of the
Aspen Area Comprehensive Plan.
Staff Finding
Staff believes that the proposed zoning application is consistent with the Aspen Area
Community Plan. l'he annexation of lands along Maroon Creek Road are supported by the
Urban Growth Boundary as approved in the 2000 AACP.
C. Whether the proposed amendment is compatible with surrounding zone
districts and land uses. considering existing land use and neighborhood
characteristics.
Staff Finding
Staff believes that the proposed zoning is compatible with the surrounding zone districts and
land uses. These uses include a school, recreation center and residential development, all of
which need the public road for access.
D. The effect of the proposed amendment on traffic generation and road
safety.
Staff Finding
Staff does not believe that the proposed zoning will have an effect on traffic generation nor
road safety. Stafffinds this criterion to be met.
E. Whether and the extent to which the proposed amendment would result in
5
P102
demands on public facilities, and whether the extent to which the proposed
amendment would exceed the capacity of such facilities, including, but not
limited to, transportation facilities, sewage facilities, water supply, parks,
drainage, schools, and emergency medical facilities.
Staff Finding
Staff does not feel that there will be an increase in the demand for public facilities. This is
simply zoning land which is proposed to be am~exed into the City and public infrastructure
impacts were dealt with during approvMs for the various projects that have taken place along
Maroon Creek Road. Staff finds this criterion to be met.
F. Whether and the extent to which the proposed amendment w4uld result in
significant adverse impacts on the natural environment.
Staff Finding
Staff does not believe that the proposed zoning application would result in adverse impacts
on the environment. Staff finds this criterion to be met.
G. Whether the proposed amendment is consistent and compatible with the
community character in the City of Aspen.
Staff Finding
Staff believes that the proposed zoning application will nor affect the Community Character
within the City of Aspen. Stafffinds this criterion to be met.
H. Whether there have been changed conditions affecting the subject parcel
or the surrounding neighborhood which support the proposed
amendment.
Staff Finding
The City of Aspen is currently completing the Aspen Recreation Center and recently annexed
Aspen Highlands Village. These changed conditions support the proposed annexation of a
portion of the Maroon Creek Road along with the subsequent zoning.
I. Whether the proposed amendment would be in conflict with the public
interest, and is in harmony with the purpose and intent of this title.
Staff Finding
Staff believes that the proposed zoning application would not be in conflict with the purpose
and intent of the land use code or tlne public interest.

TO: Mayor and Council MEMORANDUM ~1~~
FROM: Commercial Core & Lodging Commission
DATE: February 3, 2003
RE: Saturday Market Expansion]
SUMMARY: With increased interest and attendance in the Aspen Saturday Market, the CCLC is
recommending expansion onto the 200 Block of South Hunter Street.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION: The Saturday Market was approved by City Council February 25.2002
for a five year vending ageement. The expansion into Conner Park was approved May I3, 2002. Any further
expansion must be publicly noticed (attached).
BACKGROUND: The expectation of Council was that future expansion could not occur unless the Aspen
Saturday Market was £ulI on E. Hopkins Ave. The market is full and the CCLC and ASMG desire to expand
the market. For 2003 Conner Park will be used for demonstrations only. The craft vendors will move out to E.
Hopkins, and if approved South Hunter St.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: APS will supply the port-a-pottie from June i4th through October 31s[ ar a
cost of $1040, which has been included in the Parks Department's budget. The cost ora 12 x 15 x 2 platform is
$600. CCLC is proposing that the platform be left up for the duraf~on of the market on the east end of Conner
Park The cost figures for the canopy over the platform have not come m. Staff's concern is where to store the
platform the rest of the year.
Contract laborers will be needed to set up and take down the chairs and canopies every week at a cost of $100
per Saturday; total cost $1,400. Conner Park can only be used until the second Saturday in September because
of the grass seeding schedule.
Neither the platform nor the weekly labor cost have been budgeted. If Council is interested in funding this they
could take money out of their contingency or direct CCLC to meet with the ACRA marketing committee.
RECOMMENDATION: Approval of the expansion of the Aspen Saturday Market to the 200 Block of South
Hunter.
ALTERNATIVES: 1. Approval of k2 block of S. Hunter to the alley.
2. Not approve the expansion.
PROPOSED MOTION: I move to approve the expansion of the Aspen Saturday Market to the 200 Block of
South Hunter Street. ~ · ,

RE: Efficient Building Regulations - Public Hearing
Date: February 10, 2003
SUMMARY: The Eff, cient Building Code is submitted for adoption by Council per
direction given at work sessions on June 4, 2002 and before the BOCC on December
10,2002 The Checklist has been expanded to create compliance opportunities for large
homes (up to 15,000 sq.ft.) without the use of Transferable Energy Rights. Requirements
for Affordable Housing have been expanded and refined.
The Program Checklist and Deconstmction Plan, which are adopted by reference m the
Code, are included for your review. In accordance with our IntergoVernmental Agreement
with Pitkin County, the same ordinance is proposed for adoption by the County.
BACKGROUND: An introduction to the Green Building Program was ~ven to Council
on September 4, 2001. At that work session staff was directed to begin the process of
research and study to create a program for Aspen and Pitkin County. The work sesston on
March 4, 2002 introduced the first working documents necessary te involve the design and
construction community for education and feedback. In the June 4, 2002 work session
Council approved of the developed documents and directed staffto begm a six-month trial
period to offer education and consultation to permit applicants, as program documentation
was required for every building application The final version before you is the
culmination of the referenced efforts.
DISCUSSION: The question of whether these requirements will add costs to
construction has yet to be answered Staff research finds that the industry feels strongly
both ways. The answer separates the question into at least four parts: ~s it a higher initial
cost to the builder?, is it an ongoing greater cost to the consumer to heat, ¢ool, light and
maintain the building and afford to live in it?: is it the immediate and future cost to the
environment to produce, process and dispose of materials and products in the building?; or
~s k the undetermined cost to the health of those occupying a space that contributes to
illness and does not support well being7 The volume of material available on these
subjects is enormous
P120
Asset Management convened an expert group of local builders, designers and policy
makers familiar with the practical aspects of efficient building. ~t was agreed that publicly-
funded affordable housing ~vould voluntarily exceed the minimums required for private
projects. This gesture answers the four-part question posed about the added costs of
efficient building. The group, with the support of Asset Management concluded that the
long-term benefits of healthy, efficient building outweigh the initial expense.
Adoption of this Ordinance will come as no surprise ro the design and construction
community. It has been with their help and input that a workable program, one of two in
the coumry that staff is aware of, has been developed.
FI]NANCIAL IkMPLICATIONS: Staff continues to work with COKE to estimate
additional staff time required ;o review, approve, inspect and accept the documentation
and installation of components required for compliance to the Efficient Building Code.
CORE will request a $5,000 expenditure in 2003 to assist with implementation The funds
will only be used if needed to insure customer service goals are met.
RECOMMENDATION: Staffrecommends adopting the Efficient Building Code.
ALTERNATIVES: Council may require that only City proiects meet the new Code and
it remain voluntary for the private sector
PROPOSED MOTION: "I move to approve Ordinance #9 2003".

THRU: Julie Ann Woods, Community Development Director¢
RE: City of Aspen Energy Conservation Code
Date: FEBRUARY 10, 2003
SUMMARY The City of Aspen Energy Conservation Code, aka Aspen/Pitkin Energy
Conservation Code (APECC) requires amending to reflect the new deparrmem structure,
clarification to address proper installation and evaluation of ground source heat pump
systems and to delete code language no longer apphcable. Strike through version was
distributed with the Ia Reading. Only the new language version of the Code is included
for review in this packet. In accordance with our Intergovenn-nental Agreement, Pitkin
County proposes the same ordinance for adoption.
BACKGROUND: The Renewable Energy Mitigation Program was adopted in January
2000 and Council directed CORE to review it after two (2) years. A letter from CORE is
attached.
DISCUSSION: The administrative changes ktrther define exemptions for historic
buildings. This is necessary_ as more snow mek roofs appear in the downtown core and the
current language did not anticipate such uses. Fee refund procedure is now the same as the
other companion codes
The majority of changes are in the standards that address heat pump systems These
systems were mistakenly grouped in the "renewable" category when in fact they are
"efficient" systems and require significant electrical input to operate. CORE worked
closely with mechanical engineers, heat pump designers and system installers to arrive at
the additions to this chapter. It is a~eed that the formulas and assumptions are fair and
accurate.
ISSUES SINCE 1sT READING: Councilman Semrau suggests that with the adoption of
the Efficient Building Code being considered, section 311.3.2 of the Energy Conservation
Code be deleted. This section requires large homes to produce 2 kilowatts (4 kilowatts for
10,000 square ft.) of on-site renewable energy or pay an equivalent REMP fee. The fee is
$5,000 for a 5,000 square foot home or $10,000 for a 10,000 square foot home.
Councilman Semrau feels that this fee is duplicative and should be deleted. Staff
conversation with the CORE staff indicates that CORE does not agree with this approach.
The attached ordinance is the same as that presented at first rea&ng. If C~ty Council
P136
a~ees with Councilman Semrau the ordinance will need to be amended accordingly. The
Efficient Building Code, in Item 10.5, credks Solar-Generated Electric systems installed
for points needed to pass toward the KEMP fee in the Energy Code. Off-site systems may
also be installed if approved by the CORE board.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: As a result of this requirement, the KEMP program
collected $235,000 in 2000, $200,000 in 2001 and $135,000 in 2002. This contribution
totaling $570,000 would be lost if section 311.3.2 were deleted fxom the City of Aspen
Energy Code.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends adopting the City of Aspen Energy
Conservation Code as proposed.

Summer only uses:
205,000 BTU/square foot solar collector
Year round application of solar:
340,000 BTU/square foot solar collector.
These solar collector credits shall not be adjusted for efficiency of the system.
Solar Portion - Winter Use
(Supplemental energy for snowmelt = 120,000,000 BTU/yr)
120,000,000 BTU/yr. divided by 2= 60,000,000 BTU/yr.= solar portion

Docm~entation for approval for supplemental energy includes: Solar hot water collectors
located on plans, schematics of the plumbing and control layout and equipment
specifications. Solar hot water system plans have to be prepared aud submitted by a COSEIA
(Colorado Solar Energy Industries Association) certified installer. Fiat plate solar collector
panels must be certified by SRCC or OG100 standards.
311.4.2 Solar Electric System as on-site renewable energy
Solar electric (photovoltaic) systems tied to the electric grid, are eligible for credit for
supplemental energy use. Annual maximtun supplemental energy use is 240,000,000 BTU per
parcel incluc[ing 50% credit for solar. Solar electric can supply part of the supplemental energy on
site and part through payment of a REMP fee. AmauaI solar credit for solar electric is 15,375,000
BTU per kilowatt (KW) installed as source energy. Systems must be sited, oriented and installed
for solar electric panels to supply at least 90% of rated capacity of the installed KW. System
designer/installer must be certified by COSEIA (Colorado Solar Energy h~dustries Association).
Solar Electric Example
(Supplemental energy for snowmelt = 240,000,000 BTU/yr)
240,000,000 BTU/yr divided by 2= 120,000,000 BTU per year solar portion
120,000,000 divided by 15,375,000 BTU per KW = 7.8 KW installed
Documentation for approval of supplemental energ~y includes: System Si~ed on the piansl

capacity of panels and installers' COSEIA certification.
311.4. 3 Ground source heat pumps (GSHP) as energy efficient Option.
Supplemental use is permitted up to a ma~mum of 240,000,000 BTU. In order to use a GSI-[P for
supplemental energy the GSI-B? system must supply at least 20% of the peak load for heating
the house and all the supplemental energy uses. (See Section 305.16 for details on system
requirements). In addition the electricity for powering the ground soarce heat pump for 50%
of the supplemental energy uses must be from renewable energy sources. Renewable energy
can be purchased for 20 years through a payment ora REMP fee as follows:
(((Total BTU per year of supplemental energy /3412 BTU per kwh )/ 3) *20years *
$.07/kWh) times 50%= REMP fee
This calculation uses a fixed value for Coefficient of Performm~ce (COP) of 3; COP in this
equation does not vary.

DATE: FEBRUARY 4, 2003
RE: ADJUSTED ICE OPERATIONS BUDGET
Summary:
At the time Council was presented the 2003 budget for Ice Operations, the ARC Ice Rink
was on hold and staff budgeted for only 4 months of operations at that location. At the
same time staffbucigeted to operate the Ice Gfird~n a full 12 months of the year. Now
that the sheet of ice at the ARC is back on track staffhas reworked the budget for both
facilities. The increase in ice operations is $294,383, to be offset by $287,155 in
revenues. This would increase the net subsidy for ice operations between the ARC and
the Ice Garden by $7,228. Please refer to the attached budget sheet under Scenario #3 for
ARC and Ice Garden options.
Staffis seeking increased expenditures for the ARC Ice Operations in the amount of
$394,536. Staff is also seeking an increase in revenue projections in the amount of
$402,655. This would be a net decrease in subsidy of $8,119.
Staff is also seeking an adjustment to the Ice Garden Operations. Expenditures would
decrease by $100,153 and revenues would decrease by $1 I5,500 for a net increase in
subsidy of $15,347.
Staffis seeking approval from Council for the increase in expenditures and revenues as
mentioned above and outlined in the attachments. Furthermore, staff is at this time
recommending that ice operate at each location thoug_~out 2003 as outlined below in the
"Current Issues" portion of this memo.
P180
Budget Implications:
Please refer to attachment "A" for the updated Ice Garden & ARC budget Scenario's.
Staff is recommending Scenario #3 under the Ice Garden.
ARC 2003 approved 2003 proposed
Expenditures: $1,525.728 $1,920,264
Revenues: $1,140,257 $1,542.912
~$385,47I) ($377,352)
Net Increase/Decrease of Proposed: *$8,119
ice Garden 2003 approved 2003 proposed
Expenditures: $498,581 $398,428
Revenues: $379,500 $264,D00
($119,081) ($134.428)
Net Increase/Decrease of Pro£osed: *($15,347)
Overall Net Increase to General Fund Ice Operations Subsidy: * $7,228.
The addition of 6 months of ARC operations, and a reduction in operations at the Ice
Garden requires a net increase in the subsidy of ice operations in the amount of $7,228.
Staff identifies the increase in subsidy as time spent training individuals to operate the
ARC prior to opening. This scenario is much better than the one in which a dry floor
would operate at the Ice Garden for the summer and thus increase the subsidy for ice by
more than $20,000.
Also, staff took a very close look at the number of ice employees needed to operate two
sheets of ice during the summer months with reduced hours. Staff realized the split of ice
time between the ARC and the Ice Garden would result in reduced hours of operations
and has adjusted budgets accordingly. As you can see there would be a limited staff at
the ice garden in the summer, and management would reduce the ARC ice staffing by one
position during the summer months. Employees realizing a reduction in hours during the
summer months would be given the choice of relocating elsewhere in the departmem
during the summer when employees are needed in other areas, or they could simply seek
other opportunities and become seasonal employees with the City, This allows for a
reduction in the increase of funding for both facilities.
P181
Current Issues:
The ice user groups and SPARC would like ro see two sheets of ice operate this summer.
Staff a~ees for the following reasons:
· We are in a better position to market ice at this late date than dry floor events
· SPARC would like to see both sheets of ice operate for the benefit of ice user groups.
We have the opportunity to increase summer hockey camps and will need the
additional ice to provide for the local users.
· A couple N-I-IL teams interested in trying to coordinate }ometh~ng with us have been
in contact. This would be beneficial to the community, but again we would need
alternate ice time for the local users.
· Allows for Corporate rentals without displacing the local user of ice.
Staff Recommendation:
Staff is recommending the approval of $394,536 in increased expenditures for the ARC
ice operations in 2003 and $402,655 in increased revenues to the same ~ce operations for
2003. The Ice Garden expenditures would be reduced by $100,153 with revenues
decreasing by $115.500. The overall hit to the general fund would be an increased
subsidy of $7,228 for ice operations in 2003. This is as opposed to operating the Ice
Garden as a dry floor venue, which would increase the general fund subsidy by more than
$20,000 in 2003.
Alternatives:
Staff could operate the Ice Garden as a dry floor venue for the summer. With the cost of
taking the ice out of the facility and then replacing it in the fall, along with a low revenue
base for this type of opera[mn, staff feels that ~e operational subsidy would be
approximately $20,000 to $25,000 more than ~dent~fied m th~s memo.
Staff could shut down the Ice Garden, thus reducing the subsidy for ice operations
substantially.
