PROCLAMATION - Good Roads Day Mayor Bennett and Council declared June 27 and 28th as Good Roads Days in recognition of the thousands of Aspenites who have volunteered to work on the revitalization of Independence Town, the revegetation to Independence Pass and the building of the road itself. Council presented this to Bob Lewis. CITIZEN PARTICIPATION 1. Roxanne Eflin, plann ing office, told Council the Pitkin County Open Space board matched the city's $75,000 grant for the purchase of lot 2 of Pioneer Park. The funding raising campaign is underway and the deadline is July 31. COUNCILMEMBER COMMENTS 1. Councilwoman Pendleton moved to table Ordinance #39, Kraut Rezoning to July 27, 1992 and Ordinance #40, Aspen Institute, Series of 1992, and Ordinance #18, Institutional Controls, Series of 1991 to July 13, 1992; seconded by Councilwoman Richards. All in favor, motion carried. 2. Councilman Peters said he has received complaints from neighbors of the Gordon/Callahan subdivision that some of the conditions of approval are not being adhered to. Councilman Peters requested staff research the minutes of the approvals and report back to staff if the conditions are being adhered to. Amy Margerum, city manager, said staff will report back at the next meeting. 3. Councilman Peters asked if it would be possible to generate a policy that if Council has seen a vending agreement previously and it has been approved, that it can be handled administratively. These agreements would be non-controversial and for non-profit groups. Jed Caswall, city attorney, said the ordinance will have 1 Regular Meeting Aspen City Council June 22, 1992 to be amended and allow staff to approve vending agreements. Councilman Peters said if this is simple and there can be clear policy guidelines, he would like to have staff grant vending agreements. Councilwoman Richards said she has some concerns about weekend events selling food and competing with local businesses. Mayor Bennett agreed to look at this as long as there are policy guidelines. 4. Amy Margerum, city manager, said staff would like to add to the next appropriation ordinance revenues and expenses to add another counsellor to the day camp program. The city has had an over whelming response to this program. Ms. Margerum told Council staff is working on the possibility of adding another two weeks at the end of day camp. Currently the city does not have a location for these two weeks. 5. Amy Margerum, city manager, told Council there was a power outage during the food and wine classic. The city electric department did a great job responding to this. Bob Gish, public works director, said staff thinks the added load of the festival and the fact and it was time for the transformer to go put this over the top. The system itself was not overloaded. Ms. Margerum said next year during the food and wine classic, the city will ask for an electrical plan. 6. Amy Margerum, city manager, said the Council needs to schedule interviews with the Boards. Council scheduled this for July 20th. 7. Amy Margerum, city manager, reminded Council of the Roaring Fork Forum steering committee meeting Friday, June 26th in Basalt at 8:30 a.m. Councilwoman Pendleton said she would try and attend. 8. Amy Margerum, city manager, said the city is planning the sidewalk from Smuggler to town. There is a public meeting scheduled June 25th at 7 p.m. at the library. 9. Mayor Benne tt said he spoke to the Mayor of a French ski town who told him they truck their snow off the streets to the slopes. Mayor Bennett requested staff talk to the Ski Company about this. 10. Mayor Bennett said if there is an oversight committee meeting on July 16, could the meeting with Basalt be changed to another date. 11. Amy Margerum, city manager, asked if there is any direction on the Galena street shuttle. Councilwoman Pendleton said she has asked RFTA to find out other places that use these type of shuttles. Jed Caswall, city attorney, said RFTA has contacted other users and whether the state will inspect these vehicles. The 2 Regular Meeting Aspen City Council June 22, 1992 Bureau of Motor Vehicles has decided not to revoke the existing license plates and registration. Caswall said he has satisfied himself there is no law that prohibits people from riding in these vehicles; the Bureau of Motor Vehicles disagrees. RFTA is not satisfied the vehicles are all that safe and is concerned about operating these vehicles in mixed traffic. Mayor Bennett said if the vehicles are licensed and insured, he does not see a problem. Councilman Peters agreed. Caswall said it will be another month before these vehicles can be ready to run. The drivers will need to be trained after that. Councilman Peters said he would like to move forward with the shuttle program. Councilwoman Pendleton suggested Council take a test ride in these. Caswall said RFTA will feel better with a written service agreement spelling out the city's responsibilities. Councilwoman Pendleton said she would like the city to take the responsibility. RFTA will get the vehicles ready and help with the drivers. Councilman Peters said it is unacceptable to not have the vehicles for 30 days. Caswall said he will draft the service agreement with RFTA that they will provide the service and the city will assume the responsibility. CONSENT CALENDAR Councilman Peters moved to approve the consent calendar; seconded by Councilman Reno. The consent calendar is: A . Minutes - May 11; June 8, 1992 B .

LIQUOR AUTHORITY BUSINESS - Special Event Permits Councilwoman Richards moved to approve the special event permits for Aspen Historical Society; Aspen Community Church; Art Museum Fund Raiser and MAA; seconded by Councilwoman Pendleton. Councilwoman Richards asked about the use of the Marolt property for the Art Museum, placement of tents, parking. Councilwoman Richards asked if it is the purpose of the open space to be used every weekend for some non-profit event. Councilwoman Richards noted the art museum has a large facility; perhaps the fund raiser should be on their property. Councilman Peters said these are good points; however, he would like to deal with the use of public 3 Regular Meeting Aspen City Council June 22, 1992 property as a separate issue. Mayor Bennett agreed this could be dealt with in the parks master plan. All in favor, motion carried. ORDINANCE #12, SERIES OF 1992 - Aspen Winter Garden Ice Rink PUD Diane Moore, planning director, reminded Council at the last public hearing they wanted more information on the fee structure and operation of the ice rink and public access to the rink. Ms. Moore pointed out she added to conditions to the ordinance about operations and public access. Perry Harvey, representing the applicant, reminded Council they wanted the applicant to look at spruce trees to screen the back of the skate rental building. Harvey pointed out the skate rental building is set into the hillside and not that much of the building is visible. Harvey showed a plan with a canopy of maples. Craig Hansen, Design Workshop, told Council they feel the allee of trees with Norway maples is a stronger design to reinforce the arc and feel of the walk. Shrubs could be planted behind the building. Hansen said they prefer the allee of trees. Mayor Bennett said he likes the canopy approach. Councilwoman Richards said this landscaping plan is all right. Councilwoman Richards said she would like Council to consider vacating Durant street and allowing Savanah to do more landscaping on the north side of the site. Mayor Bennett said Council should not be debating every tree on every corner; they should have a policy. Councilman Reno said he favors that approach. Councilman Peters said this discussion should be left with P & Z; it is appropriate the P & Z have flexibility in the tree discussions. Ms. Moore said the applicant will retain as many trees as possible. Councilwoman Richards suggested a site visit to get a sense of what the skater will experience. Councilwoman Richards said this may be the only park added to the city's inventory in the next few years. Councilwoman Richards said this will be surrounded on all 4 sides by parking. No other city parks are surrounding on 4 sides by roads. Councilwoman Richards said this site will be very noisy; there is no winter growth to absorb noise from traffic. Council- woman Richards suggested a condition that should the city decide to vacate the parking on Durant street that Savanah can come back with a landscape design incorporating the additional footage into it. This may be an opportunity for the city to become a joint partner in planning this area to see that it becomes a well used park in the downtown of the city. Don Ensign, Design Workshop, told Council the cottonwood trees on 4 Regular Meeting Aspen City Council June 22, 1992 site are very stressed out. When these trees do not get watered, they start to break, which has happened to these trees. Ensign said the trees out on the street really crowd the street from a pedestrian circulation point of view. Harvey said he does not object to the vacated parking and expanded landscaping as long as this is known before construction starts. Ms. Moore suggested language, "In the event that the city should vacate the designated parking for right-of-way adjacent to the ice rink park along Mill Street and Durant Avenue by February 15th, then Savanah shall be obligated to landscape the areas vacated to the satisfaction of the city". Harvey said if he has to make another amendment to the PUD starting in February, it may not get complete by construction season. Harvey asked if there is some way to structure this so that it does not have to go through another public process, that it just requires Council sign off. Amy Margerum, city manager, suggested Council could approve an encroachment license for landscaping in the right-of-way. Harvey said Council would have to make this decision by early January in order to get it done by February. Council agreed they would rather grant an encroachment than vacate the street. Ms. Moore said this would not be an amendment to the PUD; it could be done as an insubstantial change. Mayor Bennett said the landscaping behind the skate rental building will be done according to the applicant's proposal. Council agrees the cottonwoods will not be saved. Mayor Bennett agreed the city needs a policy for trees in the city which can be dispersed to P & Z and staff. Harvey pointed out the concession area has been moved slightly further to the east to provide a buffer to the landscaping. Harvey said 9 parking spaces will be maintained on Dean street plus a drop off and a service area. Harvey said the applicants have submitted a letter stating, "during the months of December, January, February and March the rink would be open, weather permitting, 7 days a week from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. unless otherwise extended by a special event permit". The language in the ordinance is different, "the ice rink park shall be open during the hours of 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. 7 days per week throughout the year unless otherwise approved by the city". Harvey said there are conversion times and normal maintenance and the applicants would like language to address those times. Harvey said the applicants do not anticipate being open in November. Mayor Bennett suggested the language say from Thanksgiving to the end of March. Councilman Peters suggested the ordinance state, "any service of liquor, wine or beer shall be by special event permit only". This 5 Regular Meeting Aspen City Council June 22, 1992 reinforces Council's policy on liquor service in public parks. Councilman Peters said he would like a clear idea of what is going to be charged to the public at this rink. Councilman Peters said he does not want what is "reasonable" to become a subject of debate in the future. Councilman Peters suggested locals not be required to rent skates. Harvey said no one is required to rent skates if they have their own. Councilman Peters suggested the local rate should be no more than 125 percent of what is charged at the Aspen Ice Garden; the base rate would be 125 percent of what the city is charging now. Councilman Peters said he wants to recognize the relationship between the Aspen Ice Garden and this rink, and the relationship the public will perceive. The pressure will remain on the Aspen Ice Garden if this rink is not affordable to locals. Harvey said part of the pricing structure includes local passes. Harvey said the Ice Garden wants to free up some public time for other group activities. Harvey said the market will drive this and if the demand is so great, access will have to be restricted. Councilman Reno said the agreement states the operator will submit an annual operating budget and that the operator will meet with the city on request. Councilman Reno said if Council does not feel the pricing is correct, do they have any authority. Jed Caswall, city attorney, said he does not feel the city can impose a price on the ice rink. Caswall said the city can make an argument on the definition of "reasonable"; if they charge a price the city does not feel is reasonable, they would be violating the terms of the PUD agreement. Councilwoman Pendleton said she has a hard time with "commercially reasonable rates" and would like this better nailed down. Councilwoman Pendleton said she would like it compared to some- thing, like the rates at the Aspen Ice Garden. Councilwoman Richards said she would like to further define reasonable as a percentage of public fees. Harvey told Council they are looking at pricing per age group, local passes. Harvey said their proposed rates are $7.50 to $9.00 including skates. The Ice Garden charges $4.00 to skate and $1.50 for skates. At 150 percent of the base rate, which is this year's current Ice Garden rate of $4.00 this takes it to $6.00 plus $1.50 for skates, which is at the low end of the applicant's range. Harvey said he is concerned about the city setting all the rates. Councilwoman Pendleton pointed out the Council has decided that rates at city facility have to keep up with inflation so that they are not jumped a huge increase. Ms. Margerum said the staff will recommend a 4 to 5 percent rate increase for the Ice Garden for 1993. Mayor Bennett said the reasonableness should apply to both 6 Regular Meeting Aspen City Council June 22, 1992 parties. Councilman Peters reminded Council this is a quid pro quo for development rights and open space. There is a lot of value attached to what this rink is supposed to be providing to the community. Councilman Peters said he favors 125 of the base rate. Councilwoman Pendleton said she would support this; however, the ice rink should be able to raise rates as costs go up. Councilman Peters pointed out there is no fee for summertime use. Harvey said there will be fees for special events in the summer. Councilwoman Pendleton suggested a review after one year of operation of the ice rink. Harvey said during this winter the applicants were going to do a survey to determine what kind of passes, what kind of programs, use sessions, etc. people are interested in. Councilwoman Richards moved to table Ordinance #12, Series of 1992, to July 13, 1992, and to ask the applicants to come back with language defining the process if the city decides to grant an encroachment and do additional landscape for the parking on Durant and Mill and secondly, have staff come back with options listed tonight with analysis and recommendations of tying this to 125 percent of public to the breadbasket approach to a percent off and look at which will be the easiest to administer and will get us closest to our goal of defining reasonable and securing public access; seconded by Councilman Peters. All in favor, motion carried. SECTION M AMENDMENT Councilman Peters moved to table this; seconded by Mayor Bennett. Councilwoman Richards said she would like to know whether $700,000 is the right amount and if the Koch rink should fail and there is $120,000 left in the $700,000 where would that money go. Council- woman Richards said she feels the ice rink plans should become vested plans with the rink site and if the Koch rink fails, the city should retain the right to establish a rink on the Ritz site. Jed Caswall, city attorney, pointed out the Ritz site is zoned park. The city can always condemn the rink site. Councilman Reno said Council should make a decision. To have all options open is not fair to this applicant or to the Council. Councilwoman Pendleton agreed. Councilman Peters said outside of the Section M amendment, Council will need to discuss some of these issues. All in favor, motion carried. Perry Harvey, representing the applicant, told Council they have 7 Regular Meeting Aspen City Council June 22, 1992 offered their best guess as to what will be required if this site is to be a park. ORDINANCE #34, SERIES OF 1992 - Inventory of Historic Sites and Structures Roxanne Eflin, planning director, recommended Council adopt this ordinance which adopts the 1992 inventory of non-landmark historic sites and structures. Ms. Eflin said the land use code states buildings of historic value shall be on the inventory and re- evaluation of these sites and structures shall occur every 5 years. This is 94 of the 138 non-landmark resources. No changes in regulations for historic structures are proposed at this time. Ms. Eflin said historic communities have a mixed bag of buildings that represent different eras of development and architectural styles. Buildings have evolved as communities have evolved. Rating historic buildings is a tool to help staff understand the relative impact changes have had to historic resources. An earlier Council adopted "significant, contributing and supporting" categories for rating. The structures on the inventory have received a rating from site visits and information from property owners. Ms. Eflin told Council the city hired consultants to give recommen- dations on these historic ratings. Staff studied these and revised them to Aspen standards. Ms. Eflin said the ranking category percentage of 10, 75 and 15 high, medium and low is very appropri- ate for Aspen standards as a number of architectural changes have evolved over time. Ratings are a barometer to measure change that has occurred to historic resources. Ms. Eflin said the significant category has changed. These are on or have been added to or are eligible for state or national register of historic places. The Secretary of Interior as well as local standards are than applied. Ms. Eflin said structures are not on the inventory simply because they contribute to scale. All resources are researched for age, studied for individual merit, neighborhood character and overall community contribution. The HPC and staff feel strongly these resources are the foundation of the commun ity's character, which the community is working hard to preserve. Ms. Eflin agreed there should be more incentives for historically designated structures; however, in this public hearing, Council should focus on the inventory. Ms. Eflin requested Council remove 233 West Hallam from the inventory and send it back to HPC for more research. Ms. Eflin 8 Regular Meeting Aspen City Council June 22, 1992 said this owner is very concerned about having her property on the inventory. There will be more research and documentation to describe the number of changes that have occurred to the structure. Councilman Peters asked if HPC concurs with removing this one structure. Bill Poss, HPC chair, agreed with tabling it to the next round. Ms. Eflin presented the inventory map showing the historic districts and the scattering of historic resources around the community. Mayor Bennett opened the public hearing. Jed Caswall, city attorney, told Council Mrs. Benninghoff, owner of 233 West Hallam does not want her property on the inventory. Mrs. Benninghoff has always understood this is a voluntary program. There may be things about this property that will disqualify it from being on the inventory. Mayor Bennett closed the public hearing. Councilman Reno asked if there are other property owners in the same situation as Mrs. Benninghoff. Ms. Eflin said there are some; however, once they understood the difference between being on the inventory and being a landmark, they were not as concerned. Ms. Eflin told Council she has spent time with everyone who has had concerns. Councilman Reno said property owners have contacted him with concerns. He would like to make sure these people have recourse in this situation. Councilman Reno said he supports preservation. Poss told Council about a dozen people came to the HPC public hearings and said they did not want their houses on the inventory. Poss said these were evaluated; some structures were taken off the list. The owner of 233 West Hallam was not able to attend the HPC meetings, which is why staff and the HPC recommends this be put off until the second round of inventory. Councilman Reno said people are having problems selling or adding on to small miner's cottages and other new structures on the inventory. Councilman Reno said he feels like the city is not helping these type of property owners. Councilwoman Richards said she would like to create more financial incentives for people who need this type of help to maintain houses in their historic charac- ters. Councilwoman Richards said all parcels and properties play a role in creating the value of Aspen. Councilman Reno said citizens look at this as if the zoning is not across the board and some people feel they are paying more than their fair share. This is building specific rather than community-wide. 9 Regular Meeting Aspen City Council June 22, 1992 Councilman Peters asked if there is a way to give historically designated structures some insulation from random development around them. Councilman Peters said there could also be tax rebates between the city and county. Councilman Reno said he would like to focus on the miner's cottages and small buildings. Councilman Reno asked if small scale is a reason to save a building that may not be worth saving from a practicality standpoint. Councilman Reno said he is not convinced that having one's structure designated is a valuable resource. Poss said there may be some type of creative zoning to come up with incentives from suggestions from the individual property owner. This may be dealt with on a case by case basis. Councilman Peters said preserving historic buildings is a basic community value and there are standards to which everyone has to prescribe. Council- woman Richards suggested having the HPC work with the character committee of the Aspen Area comprehensive plan. Councilwoman Richards agreed the city will not get to a point where they can meet the needs for everyone. Mayor Bennett asked if staff has estimated the costs for rebates in property taxes. Ms. Eflin said this would range from $250 to $600 per residential property. Ms. Eflin said she has not gotten totals for this but can work with the assessor if the Council is interest- ed. Mayor Bennett said he would like to be able to give some tax relief but also would like the city to be able to assess whether or not the need exists; how to differentiate, and if legally the line can be drawn. Councilman Peters moved to adopt Ordinance #34, Series of 1992, amended to exclude 233 West Hallam, subject to additional HPC for resubmission to Council; seconded by Councilwoman Richards. Roll call vote; Councilmembers Peters, yes; Pendleton, yes; Richards, yes; Reno, yes; Mayor Bennett, yes. Motion carried. ORDINANCE #41, SERIES OF 1992 - GMQS Exemption Affordable Housing; the Crestahaus Leslie Lamont, planning office, told Council the applicant proposes to build one category #3 - 600 square foot studio, one category #2 - 500 square foot studio, and 1600 square foot one-bedroom resident occupied unit for the operator of the lodge. At first reading, Council asked if the resident occupied unit could be condomini- umized and sold. Staff explained that employee housing is the only residential use allowed in the lodge preservation zone district; free market housing is not allowed in that district. Condominiumi- zation is review by Council and staff would recommend against is as free market housing is not allowed in the LP district. Staff would also recommend denial because the intent of the unit is being 10 Regular Meeting Aspen City Council June 22, 1992 circumvented by condominiumization. Council also asked whether a pro rated planning fee should be assessed for the resident occupied unit. The planning office does not charge fees for deed restricted units, or accessory dwelling units. Council requested an annual statement signed by the occupants of these units as an enforcement measure to guarantee these units are being used as what they have been represented. Councilwoman Richards suggested the Council request the housing authority draft statements to be signed by occupiers of these types of units. Councilman Peters said this it is responsible action of a business owner to provide housing for their employees. Councilman Peters moved to adopt Ordinance #41, Series of 1992, amending it to add enforcement language; seconded by Councilwoman Richards. Roll call vote; Councilmembers Peters, yes; Pendleton, yes; Richards, yes; Reno, yes; Mayor Bennett, yes. Motion carried. ORDINANCE #46, SERIES OF 1992 - Charter Amendments Councilwoman Pendleton moved to read Ordinance #46, Series of 1992; seconded by Councilman Peters. All in favor, motion carried.

The applicants will deed restricted One duplex unit to resident occupancy rather than pay the housing impact fee. Ms. Lamont said adding an additional dwelling unit is a substantial amendment to the plan. This requires going through a PUD amendment.

Roll call vote; Councilmembers Reno, yes; Pendleton, yes; Richards, yes; Peters, yes; Mayor Bennett, yes. Motion carried.

A fence has separated the two properties. This fence has sat 12 feet off the property line. The Smuggler homeowners would like to give this property to Ms. Peterson and need to amend their plat to reflect this. Ms. Lamont told Council in July 1990 the homeowners association amended their PUD plan and failed to file their plat within the required time limit. The homeowners are requesting permission to extend that date. The homeowners will file one plat with the 1990 amendments and this lot line adjustment.

This resolution sets up a task force to pursue the acquisition of the Denver Rio Grande right-of-way for multiple uses in the public interest. Ms. Margerum requested Council consider who they would want on this task force. Councilman Peters suggested Lee Ambrose; Council agreed. Councilman Peters said the task force will answer a lot of questions, like who will pay for this, where ownership will be vested, what recourse do the jurisdictions have to use the property, and how can one apply for multiple use. Councilman Peters moved to endorse the resolution endorsing the formation of task force to pursue the acquisition of the Rio Grande right-of-way and to appoint Lee Ambrose as Aspen's municipal representative; seconded by Councilwoman Pendleton.
