RE: Colorado Riff Raft Temporary Use Permit, Corner of Aspen and Juan
Streets
DATE: April 28, 2003
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, 2003, to September 30, 2003,
with the conditions set forth in the proposed resolution.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
City Council approved this temporary use in this location in 2002, 2001, 2000, 1998,
1997, 1996, and 1995.
BACKGROUND:
Colorado Riff Raft has been operating in Aspen since 1979. Several other sites in Aspen
have been used for storage and staging of equipment by Riff Raft in the past. However,
this site has proven to be better logistically than the other sites that have been used in the
past from the Applicant's point of view. Colorado Riff Raft did not use the property in
1999 for a storage area because it was being used by the Aspen Skiing Company as a
construction staging area for the Sundeck remodel. However, City Council has approved
an identical temporary use request for Riff Raft to use this location for seven (7) out of
the past eight (8) years.
CURRENT ISSUES:
This company has maintained a good relationship with the surrounding neighbors and
City staff has received no formal complaints in 1998, 2000, 2001, or 2002. The
Applicant indicates that he has researched other sites, but has yet to find an alternative
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 couple of years this site will likely be under construction as part of the South
Aspen Street development, which has received conceptual PUD approval and has made a
written request for their final PUD approval. City Council should decide whether they
want to include a condition of approval that specifically precludes the Applicant from
pursuing a temporary use on this site 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, and 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, 2003, to September 30, 2003. A
temporary use permit was approved for this use for the summers of 2002, 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.
However, in the past there has been high bear activity in the area. In response to the past
bear activity, 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.
Additionally, the Parks Department requested that no Colorado Riff Raft employees be
allowed to park in the nearby Willoughby Park parking lot. The Environmental Health
also requires that Colorado Riff Raft keep the parking lot organized and free of waste and
provide an automatically locking bear -proof dumpster as was mentioned previously.
Moreover, the Environmental Health Department is also requiring that the Applicant only
use biodegradable soap while cleaning their vehicles and rafts on the site and that water
used for cleaning vehicles not drain off -site. The Water Department has also 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 that City Council approve the
proposed 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
conditions set forth in the attached resolution.
PROPOSED MOTION:
"I move to approve Resolution No. , Series of 2003, 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."

At the April 9, 2003 meeting, the Development Review Committee reviewed the use of the South
Aspen St parking lot by Riff Raft rafting company.
DRC COMMENTS: (SAME COMMENTS AS 2001. LET ME KNOW OF ANY CHANGES OR NEEDED ADDITIONS.)
1. Riff Raft needs to have an account set up for water use and they otherwise comply with
Water Dept standards. In the past they have used water at this site as part of the rafting
operations and I believe they had an arrangement with the adjoining property to use a hose
bib.
2. There is to be no parking /staging/ shipping on Mill Street ( West Side) or on Juan Street.
There is to be no illegal parking in the town and Riff Raft staff are to comply with parking
officers wishes in a courteous and professional manner. Consistent disregard for parking
regulation will result in a suspension of this permit.
3. Riff Raft needs to be aware of the Solid Waste and Wildlife Protection laws. They should not
have any food waste (wrappers, old lunches, chips, etc...) on -site. Also they are going to be
held responsible to keep the lot organized and free and clean of trash to prevent the area
from becoming a nuisance to the neighbors.
4. Equipment washing in the parking lot has been a problem in the past. All sediment that is
washed off of the equipment must be contained and prevented from flowing onto the city
streets and/or the public right of -way.

Attached are letters from both the property owner, Aspen Blue Sky, and the primary lessee, Aspen
Ski Company, allowing us to use the Barbee Mine Dump property this summer as a staging are for
our operations.
What is the next step that I need to do? I assume that you will be sending me the Public Notice
sheet that must be mailed to the surrounding homeowners as in the past. e) Does the council or
your office need any other documentation at this stage? Our operations will not be any different this
year as they been in past year$.
I will be out of town from the 14th of April — 27th of April so I'd like to get as much done as possible

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 comer 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.
As you may know, Al Anwa has sold this property to Aspen Blue Sky Partners. I have spoken with
Judge Brooke Peterson, who is representing the partnership, and gotten his approval to use the
property. (He will be sending you written confirmation of this in the mail to you). Steve Sewell of
the Aspen Ski Company, which has the lease from Aspen Blue Sky, has also given us approval.
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 operate 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 Pt of May. Our lease
from the Aspen Ski Company runs from the 15C of May to the 3P, of September.
Thank you, James, for taking the time to review this request. It is obviously a very important part of
our operation so please feel free to call me with any questions or if 1 can provide any more
information.
Sincerely,
Peter Hicks
A Division of Aspen Outdoor Adventures, Inc.
