Councilwoman Richards said for second reading she would like to have a feeling for the
scenic quality of the buildings. This project is along the bike trails and close to ACES
and she would like a report on how this will look and the architectural finishes.
Councilwoman Richards asked for a report on how the continuing odor problem will be
fixed. Councilwoman Richards said this may be a good site to look at more affordable
housing units. Councilman Markalunas said he would like clarification on the size of
the parcel. The Sanitation District used to own 5 acres and he would like to know
where the rest of the parcel went. Councilman Markalunas agreed this site could be
better utilized for affordable housing.

RESOLUTION #35, SERIES OF 1998
- Colorado Riff Raft Temporary Use
Chris Bendon, community development department, told Council this request is to
use the parking lot owned by Savanah Limited Partnership up on Aspen street for
staging operations during the summer for a rafting company. This site has been
used by Colorado Riff Raft for the past 2 years. This is a short term neighborhood.
Bendon told Council there have been no complaints about this operation over the
last 2 years.
Mayor Bennett opened the public hearing.
John Sarpa, Savanah Limited Partnership, told Council they would like to see this
use approved. The Company are good tenants and help the local economy both as
employers and as a service.

Peter Hicks, applicant, told Council he is aware it is a privilege to be able to operate
from this property.
Mayor Bennett closed the public hearing.
Councilwoman Richards moved to adopt Resolution #35, Series of 1998; seconded
by Councilman Vickery. All in favor, motion carried.
ORDINANCE #6, SERIES OF 1998
- Tippler Townhomes GMQS Exemption,
Subdivision & Vested Rights
Mitch Haas, community development department, reminded Council this proposal
involves demolishing an existing bar and restaurant and redeveloping the site with 4
free market and 4 deed restricted units. The deed restricted units are 2 two-
bedroom, category 3, and 2 one-bedroom, category 2, units. Haas said there will be
underground parking with 16 spaces, bike storage and guest parking. There will be
4 surface spaces. Vehicular access is from Galena and pedestrian access is from
Dean street. There will be a landscaped corridor connecting the two street
frontages. P & Z has approved the off street parking by special review. The project
has been awarded 4 allotments for the free market units. This review is subdivision
approval, GMQS exemption for the deed restricted units and vested rights.
Haas told Council the plan complies with the Aspen Area Community Plan with the
exception of the provision which calls for halting erosion of local serving businesses
through change in use. Haas said the fact that this project complies with the rest of
the policies outweighs this one conflicting policy. Haas noted this site represents a
transition site. The land uses in the surrounding area are short term rental,
commercial, ski area, lodge, multi-family and single family development. Haas said
this proposed development addresses the transition nature of the site.
Haas told Council the L/TR zone district requires 25 percent of the site meet the
city’s definition of open space. Haas said staff finds this project exceeds that
standard with more than 30 per cent open space.
Sunny Vann, representing the applicant, told Council this property will be
redeveloped in a manner more compatible with the surrounding neighborhood. The
restaurant and bar are a conditional use in this zone district. This uses allowed for
this property are a lodge or a multi-family project. Vann said a duplex or single
family cannot be built here because the LTR zone prohibits those on lots larger than
4
Regular Meeting Aspen City Council April 27, 1998
6,000 square feet. This development is 4 townhomes of 2800 square feet, three-
bedroom, two story on top of a subgrade garage. The deed restricted units exceed
the minimum requirements of the housing office. These units will be rented, which
is consistent with the priorities in the 1997 housing guidelines.
Vann said this development complies with the zone district requirements of the LTR
zone. The density on site has not been maximized. The building footprint meets all
setback requirements. The floor area meets the requirements. Vann showed
Council the adjacent buildings and accesses. This is a constrained site. Vann
pointed out the open space is located between this an existing development in order
to act as a buffer and a pedestrian access. Vann said this application has the support
of a majority of the neighbors. Vann presented some supporting documents for the
record endorsing the project. Vann told Council the project has been favorably
reviewed by city P & Z and by all city referral agencies.
Councilwoman Richards asked if there was FAR reduction because of site. Vann
said there was. The site is about 18,000; the city code requires reduction of the
gross lot area for steep slopes for both FAR and density calculations. The site was
reduced to about 16,200 square feet after site reduction. The existing access
easement was also netted out, which reduced the site to 15,000 square feet.
Councilwoman Richards asked how the height relates to the ski slope. Vann said
the height is not measured from the adjacent ski run but from the parking lot. The
height perceived from the ski run will be less than viewed from the Galena street
side.
Mayor Bennett opened the public hearing.
Tim Whitsitt, representing an adjacent neighbor Gary Jacobs, told Council his client
has been working with the applicant. There are still some issues to be worked out.
Whitsitt said Jacobs does not oppose the redevelopment of the Tipple restaurant nor
does he object to employee housing on this site. Whitsitt said there may be
problems with the process and with staff’s review. Whitsitt noted this is the
development of 2 separate lots. Jacobs’ primary issues are view, open space and
light. Whitsitt said this is a merger of lots and there should be setbacks from each
of the lot lines, which would provide relief to neighbors and some site lines.
Whitsitt said there are 18 bedrooms on a less than 18,000 square foot lot. Whitsitt
according to the city code, 26.28.190, that may be an excessive number of
bedrooms. Whitsitt said according to the city code, a certain percentage of the lot
5
Regular Meeting Aspen City Council April 27, 1998
frontage is to be dedicated to open space. This open space may not meet the city’s
definition of open space. The applicants seem to be counting the 10 foot setback as
open space. Whitsitt noted that the development is not street oriented, as required
by city code, but is ski slope oriented design.
Joe Raczak, North of Nell condominiums, told Council this association strongly
endorses this project. The North of Nell association would like the city to address
the parking problems on Dean street. Steve Ballenger, 712 S. Galena, told Council
he favors this project. Ballenger said he would like the Council to make sure there
is enough above grade parking to allow for servicing the condominiums. Jesse
Boyce, adjacent property owner, told Council he has worked with the applicant and
is in favor of the project. Boyce said there is an area that is traditionally open space
and they are working to try and keep this is open space. Boyce said he would like
to make sure that the open space is not a thoroughfare for skier traffic. Boyce said
they would like to be assured there is proper venting from the underground garage.
Bambi Patterson, adjacent property owner, asked how the roofs would be measured
and how they would affect the view from their unit. Vann told Council in response
to the Pattersons’s concern, the roof lines of 2 employee units at the north end of the
project have been reworked. Kim Weil, architect, pointed out that in the
neighborhood guidelines, the definition of height altered how height in peak roofs is
measured, depending on the pitch is where the 28 feet falls. This allows for roofs of
different heights to meet the 28 foot limit and gives individuality to units. This
project does not require a height variance. Vann said the roofs were intentionally
kept the lowest in those areas closest to grade and closest proximity to existing
units. Councilman Markalunas asked if the applicants did a shadow analysis. Bill
Poss, architect, said a shadow analysis was not done. Vann noted most neighbors
feels loss of some views in exchange for demolition of the Tippler nightclub is more
than worth it. Vann said his applicant has worked with the neighbors to lessen the
impacts as much as possible. Vann said the height has been lowered, which has
affected the inside of the affordable housing units from a vaulted ceiling to a flat
ceiling. Vann reiterated this is a difficult site and in order to make this a workable
project the free market units are relatively small.
Clauson illustrated to Council the different methods of measuring height. Clauson
said before 1995 there was a single method to measure height for a sloped roof.
Clauson said variegated roofs are important and a steeply pitched roof has a
different method of measurement at the one-third point. Clauson said no story poles
were requested because no height variance is requested. Clauson noted solar access
6
Regular Meeting Aspen City Council April 27, 1998
is not part of the city’s code. In this site the sun sets behind Shadow mountain early
in the day.
Jack Crawford, Tipple Inn, told Council all owners but 1 voted to support this
project even though the project will affect the views of 6 of these units.
Mayor Bennett closed the public hearing.
Councilman Vickery asked about the two separate lots. Vann said the city has a
merger doctrine; if one owns contiguous properties, they merge. Vann said there is
a question on whether this property merged. Vann showed the parcels with the
Tipple Inn, the restaurant and tract 2. Vann said one lot is in the Tipple Wood
subdivision; the existing building lot is an original addition to the townsite. These
were both annexed into the city. According to the city code, these types of parcels
do not merge; a legally created lot of a subdivision and an adjacent metes and
bounds parcel does not merge. Vann told Council the applicant met with staff to
pursue the development of 2 duplexes on each of the tracts. There is a provision in
the LTR zone stating duplexes are not permitted on lots greater than 6,000 square
feet. These two lots exceed the 6,000 square foot limitation and staff stated a
duplex cannot be built on these lots. All that can be built is a lodge or a multi-
family project. Vann said as part of the subdivision plat, the applicant will eliminate
the property line between the two parcels. The municipal code states if one builds
more than 3 units, this is a subdivision and subject to subdivision review.
Councilman Vickery asked if through this process the applicant gains or loses FAR.
Vann said it makes no difference; slope reduction is the same, the easement is still
subtracted. Haas noted the Tippler is a non-conforming structure which sits on the
lot line and into the city’s right-of-way. The city code allows one to rebuild a non-
conformity but not into the right-of-way. Haas said when an applicant goes through
subdivision, they can set or remove lot lines as long as this goes through the review
process. Vann said the project complies with the setback requirements for the zone
district. The front yard is described as the yard which abuts the street and the only
street that is public is Dean street. The west side yard setback exceeds the
requirement as it is where the open space is provided. The rear yard setback is the
south side of the property and complies with the setback requirement.
City Attorney Worcester said some issues have been raised that he would like time
to research and requested Council table action on this.

Councilwoman Richards moved to continue Ordinance #6, Series of 1998, to May
26; seconded by Councilman Markalunas. All in favor, motion carried.
ORDINANCE #7, SERIES OF 1998
- Bell Mountain Townhomes PUD,
Subdivision and Vested Rights
Mitch Haas, community development department, said this request is to demolish
the existing Bell Mountain Lodge and redevelop the site with 7 free market
townhouses and 5 accessory dwelling units. Haas told Council the ADUs have gone
through conditional use review at P & Z. The ADUs, are not required to be rented;
however, when rented, will be rented to a qualified employee. The owner will
retain the rights to chose the employee and to set the rental rates. Haas said these
units will all be connected below grade.
This request requires the allocation of 4 units through the small lodge lottery. The
change in use GMQS exemption was granted by P & Z on the condition that only
those allocations that already exist could be issued building permits on approval.
Haas said there are requests for an open space variance from the requirements of the
zone district as well as a request for a height variance. Haas presented the site and
illustrated the surrounding zone district and heights of buildings in these districts.
Haas said there is office zone with 34 foot flat roof buildings; AH zone with 30 feet
pitched roofs; C-1 zone with 40 feet height limit. This particular site has a 25 foot
height limit surrounded by higher limits on every side. Haas reminded Council
when the approved the Benedict Commons project, they allowed a higher height to
30 feet to make the units more livable and to make them more compatible with the
surrounding buildings. The requested height of the Bell Mountain Lodge at 28 feet
is in compliance with the lowest height limit in the area.
Haas told Council the open space requirement in this zone is 35 percent. Haas
showed areas of the proposed project that comply with the definition of open space,
totaling 33.4 percent. Haas pointed out the area between the sidewalk and the
property line, not included in the open space but which would appear to pedestrians
as open space. Haas said these areas total 40 percent of the site. Staff is
recommending approval of the open space variance.
Councilman Vickery asked if any employees are presently housed on site. Alan
Richman, representing the applicant, told Council there are employees living in a
8
Regular Meeting Aspen City Council April 27, 1998
non-restricted lodge unit. The previous owners of the lodge managed the lodge and
lived on site.
Richman reiterated the actual height of buildings surrounding this property is more
than this applicant is requesting. Richman said if this project is required to comply
with the height limit, the ADUs will be subgrade and the slope of the driveways will
be increased. Richman pointed out over 35 percent of the site is green; however,
due to the definition of open space, not all the green areas count. Richman said the
buildings are setback because of the existing large trees on site. Richman noted P &
Z added 34 conditions and the applicant has no problems with any of them.
Mayor Bennett opened the public hearing.
A neighbor at the Benedict Commons asked if the new building will be closer or
farther away. Richman said the lodge currently sits on the property line; the new
building will be farther away from the Benedict commons. Richman showed the 10
foot setback line and the proposed building envelope line. The neighbor asked
about the dumpster and trash areas. Richman showed the location of the enclosed
dumpster. Richman said they are looking at keeping the driveways green or having
green strips in between the driveways.
Mayor Bennett closed the public hearing.
Councilman Markalunas asked what happened to the Independence Pass Plaza
project. Richman said the applicant is going through with this process as a
contingency in case the Independence Pass project does not go forward. Also
residential units are a portion of the IPP. Richman said trees will be donated to the
city. The applicant is also doing a tree replacement program on site.
Councilwoman Richards asked if Ordinance #1 housing replacement would apply to
the employees living on site. The applicant is offering 5 ADUs however these do
not have to be rented.
Mayor Bennett asked to see where the height variations would be. Dave Gibson,
architect, showed the roofs, how one measured to the 1/3 point, the 39 foot height.
Councilman Markalunas asked about the shadow line. Gibson said because the
building is moving away from the lot line, there will probably be a reduction in
shading most of the year.

Regular Meeting Aspen City Council April 27, 1998
Councilman Vickery asked about the growth management allocations that this
project holds. Haas said the applicants currently have a commercial allocation
which they will return if they get the LP residential units. Richman said in 1996, the
applicants applied in both commercial and residential lotteries with the expectation
they would be zoned office. This property was zoned multi-family and they cannot
use the commercial allotments.
Councilman Vickery brought up Council’s directive in July 1997 about lodge
conversions and housing mitigation. Richman told Council the applicants met with
staff in July and the application was in the works before Council’s directive. There
have been no changes in the code that would affect this project. Councilman
Markalunas said he supports the height variance in order to have the ADUs partially
above-grade. Mayor Bennett said the height and roof lines make the building seem
monolithic and this is a concern; however, he does not want to see the ADUs totally
below grade.
Councilman Vickery asked why the building is pulled back 25 feet from the
property line. Gibson said this will give more air and light in the alley and also
allows parking spaces for the ADUs. Councilman Vickery said it does not seem
like this site is being used vigorously. Gibson showed on the plat plan how the
building has been pulled back in the front in order to preserve the trees.
Councilman Vickery said he appreciates saving the urban forest. The urban forest
along Cooper is so mature and so valuable and special, he agrees preserving it is
important.
Councilwoman Richards said she supports the height variation request because with
the setbacks from the street, the buildings will not appear as high. The variance
requested is fairly minimal. Councilman Vickery agreed with supporting the height
variance because pulling the buildings back will give the street side more open
space and preserve the beautiful old trees. Mayor Bennett asked why the ordinance
repeals the LP zoning. Mayor Bennett said he wants to see the LP zoning left in
place. Haas said this can be effected by eliminating the section 2 of the ordinance.
Councilwoman Richards moved to adopt Ordinance #7, Series of 1998, on second
reading striking section 2 about repealing the LP zoning; seconded by Councilman
Markalunas.
Councilman Vickery said to him small lodge conversion should not be large luxury
condominiums but should be something like a condo hotel. Councilman Vickery
10
Regular Meeting Aspen City Council April 27, 1998
said he does not feel the town needs more luxury units in the downtown. Ms.
Margerum said there is one more small lodge lottery. After that, Council can direct
staff to change direction on small lodge conversions.
Roll call vote; Councilmembers Markalunas, yes; Vickery, yes; Richards, yes;
Mayor Bennett, yes. Motion carried.

Regular Meeting Aspen City Council April 27, 1998
City Attorney John Worcester told Council staff has been negotiating with Holy
Cross to extend the franchise. The current franchise expires April 18. This is a
generic franchise agreement for 5 years. Approval of this will require vote of the
electorate. Holy Cross is offering a community enhancement fund of 1 percent of
the franchise which can be used for beautification, upgrading technology.
Councilman Markalunas moved to adopt Ordinance #11, Series of 1998, on first
reading; seconded by Councilwoman Richards. Roll call vote; Councilmembers
Vickery, yes; Richards, yes; Markalunas, yes; Mayor Bennett, yes. Motion carried.
RESOLUTION #36, 1998
- Calling Special Election
City Attorney John Worcester said staff recommends a special election June 30 to
vote on 2 issues; the Holy Cross franchise, and a sale of a portion of the Burlingame
Ranch for affordable housing purposes. Because of the primary election August 4
and the general election November 3, there are few dates available for a city special
election.
Councilwoman Richards moved to adopt Resolution #36, Series of 1998; seconded
by Councilman Vickery. All in favor, motion carried.
REQUEST FOR FUNDS FOR STREET LIGHTING
City Manager Amy Margerum noted that the street light budget will be doubled
starting in 1999. Because of the neighborhood projects, the funds for street lights
for 1998 will be almost double. Councilman Markalunas said this is something that
was important to the citizens during the neighborhood meetings. Councilman
Markalunas said he is disappointed the electric department is not recommending
installing more street lights. Ms. Margerum noted beside the annual allocation of
$25,000, staff will spend $6,000 in the west end and $11,000 on Cemetery Lane.
Ms. Margerum said the electric department is only staffed with 3 people and they
did not want to promise something they may not be able to accomplish. Councilman
Markalunas encouraged Council to approve the extra $25,000 to be worked in if
possible because of the strong indication that residents want street lights.
Councilwoman Richards said Council should not try and override the Asset
Management Plan committee. They review all requests and the city’s available
12
Regular Meeting Aspen City Council April 27, 1998
funds. Councilwoman Richards suggested the AMP committee see this request and
how it fits with all the other requests. Ms. Margerum said the approved street light
budget for 1998 is $42,000, which is very close to double the $25,000. Ms.
Margerum said there is a lot of work associated with new street lights. Most
residents do not want them in front of their homes and staff has to put in a lot of
work just to locate these lights.
Councilman Markalunas moved to authorize staff to increase the street lights budget
up to $10,000 more if staff can fit it in with time and energy available seconded by
Councilwoman Richards. All in favor, motion carried.
APPOINTMENT TO RFTA BOARD
Councilman Markalunas moved to appoint George Hart as the joint city/county
appointment to RFTA board; seconded by Councilwoman Richards. All in favor,
motion carried.
Councilwoman Richards moved to go into executive session at 8:45 p.m. for the
purpose of discussing negotiations; seconded by Councilman Markalunas. All in
favor, motion carried.
Councilwoman Richards moved to suspend the rules and extend the meeting to 9:20
p.m.; seconded by Mayor Bennett. All in favor, motion carried.
Councilwoman Richards moved to come out of executive session at 9:40 p.m.;
seconded by Councilman Markalunas. All in favor, motion carried.
Councilwoman Richards moved to adjourn at 9:40 p.m.; seconded by Councilman
Vickery. All in favor, motion carried.
