SPECIAL MEETING
MONDAY, AUGUST 4, 2003
5:00 Ordinance #36, 2003 - Burlingame Ranch Lot 3
6:30 Executive Session
To: The City Council
FROM: John McBride
DATE: August 5, 2003
Today, the ABC Architectural Review Board met for the first time to review the
site and the plans for Parcel D, which were submitted to us on July 15. Members of the
Board who met included: Ellie Brickham, Chris Ridings, Jim Petrie, John Galambos.
Dick Byme, Richard Seedorf and myself ~ 5 architects and 2 builders.
The Board realized they could review only one building as the rest of the
project is outside the ABC.
Concerns and issues expressed were as follows.
Re~ardin~ the Site.
We had to locate the building by guestimates as there are no comer pins.
Also, we had to try to envision the height as there are no story poles for Building A.
In any case, we reached a general consensus on a couple of issues:
A) There are many beautiful trees on the North side of the site. We would like
to see them saved either in place or if they have to be moved, placed along Ventnor
on the site. We will work with you on relocating. If there is no way to keep them there,
we will find another location within the ABC.
B) Since we cannot exactly determine the ground floor elevation, we would
require that the lowest floor of Building A be no higher than 2' above the first floor of
Building 210 which is right across the street.
Regardin~ the Building.
Everyone was surprised to see that the plans for Building A were different
from the model. Everyone liked the model better, for several reasons: It is lower;
the roofs are broken up, the facade is more broken by the balconies, and Unit A26 does
nor exist.
ASPEN BUSINESS CENTER · 303 E · ASPEN. CO 81611 - 970-925-2102 · FAX 970-925-2104
We would like to see the plans revisited to make the building reflect the model.
We would like Unit A26 eliminated as n is over 30' (it is not on the model at
all).
The stairwell is also over 30' but perhaps it could stay if it is made)light,
more porous, Iike a mine Tower - i.e. kind of a unique design element. Of course,
it's height is not necessary without A26, but architecturally it might serve to break up
and improve a very 10ng north facade, es/eh if it were a little higher. Balconies like
on the model would help as wei1
The roof must be black or very dark - not rusted metal. Vent, stacks and all
mechanical equipment on the roof must be painted the sams color.
Windows where possible should align oyer egch other verucally (Ellie Brickham!)
The guest parking for Building A is not at Building A. It was very important
to the committee that said parking be clearly signed so that guests not park at Building
210 or on Ventnor.
We understand and approve the siding material. Colors can be approved later.
We request no white clad windows or white facias.
The plans show no large trees on Ventnor only shrubs. We would like spruce,
Aspen or cottonwoods planted along Ventnor (if it is not possible to save and transplant
existing trees on the site.
Finally, everyone felt that generally and sooner rather than later something is
going to have to be done to create a better access at the south end of the ABC to Highway
82. 3 access points could be and probably should be combined into one in the furore.
But that's for a later discussion.
Also, the Board felt it would make sense in the future to fold the project (Parcel
D)' into the ABC and be under the Covenants for future maintenance; landscape care,
etc.
And oh....by the way isn't there a better identifier than "Parcel D"?!
JMcB:.~mr ~
To: City Council
From: Ed Sadler
Subject: Parcel "D" Covenant issues
Date: Aug. 5, 2003
Sorry for the brevity, but here goes with the issues in the order they a~e presented:
1 ) Save trees on the North Side of the site: The staff has already considered this in
their planning. With that in mind, they consulted with the staff from Parks and
were told that the roots on these trees Would be too large to transplant
successfully. If Council wishes, we can consult with Parks again on the issue.
2) Comparison of floor height in building "A" to the floor height of bldg. 210 across
the street: We have no readily available elevations on the 210 Bldg., so I can not
comment on this issue at this time.
3) Plans are different than the model: In the last two weeks, the staff received plans
for the project. There are some changes in the plans, which were presented to
Council last week and which we were planning to address with council at its next
meeting when we were going to discuss the budget for the project. Some changes
would not surprise me in that we gave all of the competitors a very short time to
prepare their CONCEPTUAL designs. Change was inevitable as the winning
team finalized designs.
4) Have the plans reflect the model: "Option 1'~ presented to council last night
would flo pretty much this as it was recommended that one unit is eliminated to
reduce the roof height. A redesign could look "MORE" like the model, but not
exactly so as again, the project has evolved. ASW may have some ideas which
would save the unit and get the bldg. under 30'.
5) Stairwell height: at one point, ASW proposed, "opening" up the stair towers and
the city staff objected as the conceptual designs had shown them enclosed. The
staff felt that enclosed stair towers would reduce wind and snow, which would
decrease maintenance costs to the tenants.
6) Roof must be black: I believe that when the covenants were originally proposed,
that most of. the roofs were flat and therefore "black" was no big deal. As the
AABC has gotten away from all flat roofs, black becomes less practical for heat
loading if nothing else. If this were adopted, I would think that it would look silly
for one bldg. In the complex to have a black roof. The flip side would be to
make all of the roofs black, which would drastically change the appearance of
the project.
7) Windows should align vertically: The windows are in the. same position for each
unit, but since the various levels step back into the hill, the windows are offset
accordingly which I believe is appropriate and that this comment is more a
matter of personal taste. The windows are proposed to be white clad (as shown
on the model), but trimmed in a color to match the rest of the bldg.
8) Siding material approved, but not colors: Colors for the project are already
selected and available, so I am unsure why they are not being approved at this
time by the committee. The model was presented to the committee for their
meeting today, and the :olors are the same as on the model.
9) No trees on Ventnor Avenue: I am unsure whether the committee wants the
trees they mentioned planted along Ventnor Avenue, or whether they want the
trees transplanted from the north part of the site. Either way, the project has
already drastically increased the number of trees on the site and more trees will
increase the costs even more. Drainage on the site will also be run~ing to this
area.
10) New Access for south end of AABC: I do not believe that this falls within the
committees purview and should the A_ABC wish to pursue this with CDOT they
should do this at their earliest possible convenience.
11) Fold the project into the AA.BC and make the entire project subject to AABC
covenants: This site is already proposed to have a homeowners association to
take care of maintenance issues for the property. I see no good reason to put the
property under the auspices if the AABC when so little of the project is in the
AABC and to the contrary, the vast majority of the project is within the City.
12) Better Id than "PARCEL D": the parcel is now referred to as Burlingame Lot 3
officially and no doubt the project will get a more appropriate name at a future
date.
13) Prioritize A_ABC employees: This issue has already been addressed and will be
taken up as soon as possible by the Housing Board, Council and the BOCC.

DATE: August 1, 2003
RE: Burlingame Parcel D
Thank you for meeting with the City Manager, the Mayor and myself this morning ~n an effort to
resolve issues surrounding the proposed Burlingame Parcel D Affordable Housing Project and
the Protective Covenants that burden the old Qwest property.
This is to confirm a potential resolution of all outstanding issues regarding the project that those
in attendance agreed to present to the City Council on Monday night.
In exchange for a favorable approval by the declarant of the ~mprovemenrs proposed to be built
on the old Qwest property (including approval by the architectural review committee of the
t design elements of the improvements proposed for the property and any necessary
modifications), the City will agree to the following:
1. All structures proposed to be built on the old Qwest property shall be re-designed so that
none of them exceeds a 30 foot height limit. This may reqmre the elimination of one or more
affordable housing umts. The City will ask, therefore, that you review the existing designs to
ensure that the higher structures do not violate the intent of the covenants.
2. The City will agree to deed restrict the larger Burlingame Ranch parcel ro forever
preclude the construction of a road behind Deer Hill connecting To the AABC. The deed
restriction shall not preclude the construction of a pedestrian trail that may be used in the future
for electric vehicles (including golf cart type vehicles), provided the motorized vehicles are
physically prohibited access to the public streets within the AABC from the end of the trail.
3. The City shall agree to your interpretation of that certain Agreement recorded in Book
244, Pages 883-887, relating to the reimbursement for the construction of the water line serving
the AABC. The amount of reimbursement has been agreed to by the parties to be $35,478.37.
4. In recognition of all of the past expenses associated with public amenities provided to the
public within the AABC, including sidewalks, trails, road and intersection improvements, that
~' ' .... eei
ta~h~tBrUerclionngs~ectiPoa~nCe}~3 t~eff°~Cla~t~lce ~°vUeS. mg ei~jgehC;;~ll8b2enien~;rfsre°c~/oa~n dn~eceePss°~tea~;?IfbYa~d iin~
;~s~,~i~;inthrienc~veingAg aa bCu~l~hine gC~Yr~iht!l reimburse the Aspen Business Center h
5. The City shall closely study the feasibility of using the trail alignment (connecting the
proJecT to the City trail system along Highway 82 to the East of the project) for a temporary
construction access to the project rather than the Ventnor Ave. access road during ail phases of
the construction of the affordable housing project. If the use of a temporary construction access
road is determined to be feasible by the City, it shall not use Ventnor Ave. for construction
traffic.
6. In the event that Ventnor Ave. is used for construction traffic, the city guarantees to
repair any damage caused to Ventnor Ave. by the construction traffic Irepairs shall bring the road
ro the same or better standard it is in prior to any construction activity.)
7. At the meeting this morning we discussed John's desire to give a priority to the sale of
units within the project to employees who are employed within the AABC. While those of us in
attendance representing the City acknowledged the logic of John's request, we explained that
such a request would require amending the Affordable Housing Guidelines. The City has entered
into an intergovernmental agreemem With Pitkin County that covers the process required to
amend the guidelines. The process is somewhat time consuming, but will be initiated by the City.
While we do not hold any hope that the guidelines would be amended to accommodate John's
suggestion, the City will initiate the process so that a full discussion of the pros and cons for such
an amendment can be had by the Housing Authority Board, the County Commissioners and the
City Council.
Please let me know whether these terms are acceptable at your earliest convenience so that
Council can make a decision to proceed with the Burlingame Parcel D Affordable Housing
Project or postpone construction for a season to re-design the improvements proposed upon the
old Qwest property.

RE: Burlingame Ranch Subdivision, Lot 3
Summary / Previous Council Action:
This is a continuation of Community Development's Final PUD land use hearing from Monday,
July 28.
Council directed City Asset staff and the Developer, ASW Realty Partners, to review possible
solutions to John McBride's exactions that were submitted to the City on July 28. City Asset
staff met on Wednesday, July 30 without the assistance of the Developer tc review solution
options to Mr. McBride's requests. The Developer was asked to estimate the cost of the three
option~ below. The Developer's response was to ask for an undetermined amount of additional
money as an additional cost to them. Not being m a position to approve such an expense, the
work was not authorized and the numbers below were calculated without the Developer's input.
(Late note: I believe now that ASW may indeed present Council with cost estimates/.
Staff has proposed three options for the City Council's review and consideration. Please.~ote
that the following are basic assumptions and approximate costs to assist the City Council in
sorting through a short list of possible solutions. In addition. Mr. McBride met with City Staffto
discuss resolution of his concerns late last week. Those discussions are summarized in John
Worcester's memo to Mr. McBride and that memo is attached. Mr. Worcester's memo would
necessitate implementation of Option 1 below as part of that solution. Therefore, at this time, it
would appear that Council has the option to agree with what the City Attorney has outlined in his
memo, or can look into the other redesign options listed below to avoid the issues associated
with the AABC covenants.
Discussion:
Option 1 - Redesign the Roof ldine:
This option involves losing 10' o-f roofing height on Building A. Unr{er this option the project
loses one one-bedroom unit (revised unit count equal 39) and the roofline would not match the
original roofline design of Building Complex A and the other two building complexes.
Project Savings -
· $100,000 - lose one unit and save approximately $I00,000 (per unit)
· parking is unaffected
· current building complexes' location unaffected
· landscaping is unaffected
Aspen City Council Memo
Burlingame Ranch Subdivision, Lot 3
Monday, August 4, 2003
Page 2 of 3
Project Costs - Approximately $40,000 to redesign the roof and other items associated with the
loss of a unit.
Cost Savings or Loss - Approximately $60,000 Savings
Option 2 - Drop Part of Building A
This option involves eliminating pan ofBuilding A from th~ project. There is a loss of seven
one-bedroom units, bring the project to a revised site plan containing 33 one-bedroom units
spread across three building complexes. It is imporram to note that the seven units lost are
located on the North East comer of Building Complex A at the intersection of the entrance into
the affordable housing project and Ventnor Avenue.
Project Savings -
· $700.000 - lose seven one-bedroom units and save approximately $100,000 per un, it
· $40,000 due to decreased parking spaces, but maintain parking ratio of at least 1'.75 for
the entire project
Project Costs -
· $30,000 ~ minimal redesign fee
· $ 5,000 - landscaping.
Project Savings or Loss - Approximately $705,000 savings
Option 3 - Move a Portion of Building A to Opposite End of the Project
Option 3 is the most involved and expensive of the three possible solu~tions. This option involves
moving the portion of Building Complex A, which includes seven units and pan of the parl(ing
garage, down to the opposite end of the project. The primary issues are the time costs
associated with the redesigning the site plan and the topography of the land next to Building
Complex C. This area has steeper slopes and a narrower building envelope. In addition, the
revised site plan would place the moved units closer ro the neighboring Iurnberyard. Under this
option, the Developer would begin construction'on the approved 33units while redesigning the
remaining seven units and parking at the south end.
Project Savings - None
