CITIZEN PARTICIPATION 1. Scott MacDonald said staff is not properly prioritizing a major contributor to PM 10, Main Street is a major generator to PM 10, caused by parking, traffic, RFTA buses. MacDonald said he will comment further on the public hearing. 2. Raymond Auger said the city is supportive of energy conserva- tion and the environment. Auger said he was recently approached to install a strip curtain in front of a restaurant to prevent drafts. Auger told Council he inquired of city staff what this would cost. Auger said he was told it would cost $120 to install an $800 curtain, which killed the project. Auger said if the city is sincere about energy conservation, it should waive fees for energy saving type projects. Council requested staff look into making an exception of fees for energy related small projects. 3. Henry Golds mith, representing the Sister Cities Committee, told Council they have had requests for a flag. Council suggested a design competition for this flag. Amy Margerum, city manager, suggested the committee put together a letter announcing this design competition and the city will send it out under the Mayor's signature. COUNCILMEMBER COMMENTS 1. Councilman Peters moved to continue Ordinance #79, Series of 1992, to January 25, 1993; seconded by Councilwoman Richards. All in favor, motion carried. 2.

Councilman Peters moved to add Sister City housing appointments and discussion of the Billings Note as IX (c); seconded by Councilwoman Richards. All in favor, motion carried. Amy Margerum, city manager, requested PM 10 plan and Ordinance #74 be switched on the agenda. Council agreed. 4. Amy Margerum, city manager, requested a special meeting 1 Regular Meeting Aspen City Council December 14, 1992 Tuesday, December 22nd at 8 a.m. on a personnel matter; the city attorney's evaluation. Councilman Peters moved to schedule an executive session for a personnel issues Tuesday January 22nd at 8 a.m.; seconded by Councilwoman Richards. All in favor, motion carried. 5. Amy Margerum, city manager, told Council staff has some recommendations on the summer day camp subsidies. Council requested this be an agenda item on the January 11th agenda. CONSENT AGENDA Councilwoman Pendleton moved to approve the consent calendar; seconded by Councilman Peters. The consent calendar is: A . Resolution #71, 1992 - Ute Park Recordation Extension Request B . Request for Funds - West Plant Filter Media C . Resolution #70, 1992 - Housing Offi ce Budget All in favor, motion carried. LIQUOR LICENSE TRANSFER - Double Diamond Greg Jurgensen, owner/manager of the Double Diamond, told the authority he will continue to operate the club. Ms. Richards asked if he was aware of previous problems with the club. Jurgensen said he has met with staff and is aware of these problems. Peters moved to approve the transfer of the Paradise Club to G. T. Diamond; seconded by Ms. Pendleton. All in favor, motion carried. ORDINANCE #74, SERIES OF 1992 - Amending Clean Air Act Lee Cassin, environmental health department, told Council this ordinance makes changes in the existing woodburning and restaurant grills ordinances because they will become state law in January. Ms. Cassin said one change will combine two sections; another change is to treat duplexes the same as other buildings in the city are treated. The third change will repeal the variance provision. Staff will work with the Clean Air Board and come back with recommendations to re-enact this provision. Ms. Cassin said there were 2 applications for variances in 1991 and 6 in 1992. Ms. Cassin said it will not be a big impact on the public not to have this section. The fourth change is a $25 fee for fireplace registra tions to cover staff costs. Councilwoman Richards asked about the current variance where an applicant received a variance for 7 new devices. Councilwoman Richards suggested as an applicant wants more than 3 or 4 devices, 2 Regular Meeting Aspen City Council December 14, 1992 that these cost 4 for 1 reduction in existing units. Councilwoman Richards recommended the Clean Air Board also look at preferred areas for replacement, the greatest concentration of dirty burners. Bob Nelson, environmental health department, pointed out two minor language changes in the ordinance. One is to tighten up the definition of charbroiler. Nelson said there have been situations where restaurants have been closed for a number of years, come back in with an existing charbroiler and request they be grandfathered. Nelson said if they are unlicensed and out of business for 6 months or more, restarting the charbroiler constitutes a new charbroiler. Nelson told Council on the charbroiler sections, staff has tried to focus on non-degradation of the PM 10 air quality in the Aspen metro area. Nelson said the purpose is to maintain existing air quality and keeping PM 10 from all sources at current levels. Nelson said the city is not receiving a percentage reduction of credit for the charbroiling ordinances because Aspen has had an ordinance on the books since 1983. The existing ordinance has had a lot of technical problems and interpretation and clarification issues brought to the attention of staff over the years. Nelson said the requirement for retrofits should be removed. This would exempt all existing charbroilers in use as of December 31 and allow them to be used and replaced with comparable equipment without consideration of emission controls at all. Nelson said it is not cost effective nor practical with existing hood and vent installations to obtain access or maintenance in operations. Nelson said clamping emissions controls on existing hoods, modifies building code requirements. Nelson said another change is to come up with standards for performance on electrostatic precipitators and other emission controls. Nelson said a lot of research and work is just starting in this field. Staff wanted to keep the requirements as flexible as possible so they can meet new technology. Nelson pointed out, starting January 1st, only new restaurants will be required emission controls. Nelson said the fat content of menu items as a consider ation will be eliminated for new restaurants . Nelson said staff is willing to let the state decide on restaurant grill emissions and bring this back after the hearings on January 21st. Nelson told Council manufacturers claim 90 percent PM 10 control on restaurant grill emissions. Nelson said this is debatable. Efficiency drops as the devices are used. Nelson pointed out new restaurants will have a choice of cooking equipment, or emission controls. The availability of new devices in the next few years should give a lot more flexibility. 3 Regular Meeting Aspen City Council December 14, 1992 Mayor Bennett opened the public hearing. Michael McHugh, president of the restaurant association, said this situation is confusing and is difficult for the restaurant association to quantify the problem about charbroilers as well as the overall PM 10 problem in Aspen. McHugh presented a graph showing a total of 2184 pounds of PM 10 per day and 188 of that is listed as restaurant grills. McHugh said these are estimated figures. In terms of percentages, dust is 86 percent of the problem. McHugh said there are 5,000 fireplaces in Aspen and 34 charbroilers, 6 of which are being maintained. Restaurant grills constitute a very small portion of the problem, probably less than 3 percent. McHugh said this ordinance will impose a cost of $20,000 installa- tion and $6,000 annually maintenance on restau rants. It will be difficult for restaurants to cover the costs of maintenance, let alone installations. McHugh said this ordinance will unreasonably impact the restaurant owners. McHugh said this requirement may clean up 30 pounds of pollution or less than 1 percent of the total. Howard Gunther, restaurant owner, pointed out restaurant grills only operate 7 hours a day at most. The amount of pollution put out by restaurants is negligible compared to dust in town. Gunther told Council he put in an electrostatic precipitator in his restaurant in 1985. Gunther told Council his precipitator costs an average of $500 a week to maintain. There has been a problem cleaning them and disposing of some phosphates. Casey Coffman, restaurant owner, said the financial burden on restaurant owners is unfair when dust is the problem. A small segment is taking the hit for the entire community. Ms. Coffman said the city has known for at least 4 years they were in non- attainment status and nothing has been done towards a solution. McHugh said Ordinance #12 is the greater of the two evils over Ordinance #74. McHugh said he opposes the clause that a restaurant being closed for 6 months will fall into the same category as a new restaurant. McHugh said the state and EPA are only looking for maintenance measures. McHugh said there should be no ordinances except relating to new charbroilers. Mayor Bennett said the city has had an ordinance in existence since 1983 regarding charbroilers. This ordinance is an amendment which would only require pollution control devices for new restaurants. Mayor Bennett stated the city is not bringing this issue up; the state health department and environmental protection agency are. 4 Regular Meeting Aspen City Council December 14, 1992 Mayor Bennett said the city is letting restaurants off the hook and substituting an affirmative transportation plan. No existing restaurants will be affected. Ms. Cassin told Council this ordinance is because in the state's plan and the city's PM 10 plan is a requirement that the existing regulations regarding charbroilers and woodburning be enforced. Staff's intention was to repeal the burdensome provisions and problematic areas. Ms. Cassin said charbroilers were put in the state implementation plan in 1990. Ms. Cassin said the implementa- tion plan does not have enough pounds to make up somewhere else what is being gained by the restaurant grills. Raymond Auger said if 85 percent of the PM 10 is generated by street dust, there is a means to control that, which is a terra-vac that sweeps the dust off the street. Auger said this is not used in Aspen. Auger said as long as there is bare pavement, the terra- vac should be running. McHugh said charbroilers can be removed from the plan. The city will have to substitute pounds from another source to accomplish their goal. McHugh said the most the charbroilers represent is 30 pounds. It does not make sense for charbroilers to be part of the plan and there should be no ordinance applying to restaurant grills until they can address the effectiveness of the measures. Ms. Cassin said the city has to come up with measures to reduce of 197 pounds of PM 10. Councilman Peters said the city submitting an alternative plan to the EPA and state to show the city is interested in the best quality air and most effective strategies. The city took some risk in trying to achieve that goal. Councilman Peters said this ordinance allows people who are doing business in town to continue doing business in town and it requires some improvement over time. David Guthrie agreed with the suggestion of sanding the streets less. Mayor Bennett closed the public hearing. Councilwoman Pendleton said she feels it is imperative to get this plan passed for the January 21st meeting. Amy Margerum, city manager, told Council staff is not comfortable substituting the 30 pounds from charbroilers with something else. Ms. Cassin said the state would give the city credit for 80 pounds for requiring existing restaurants to convert in the state plan. Ms. Margerum said this has been a frustrating process as the city does not agree with the technical data in the state implementation plan. The state has committed to doing studies over this winter to 5 Regular Meeting Aspen City Council December 14, 1992 try and get a better understanding of where the PM 10 contributions are coming from. The plan may be amended after these studies. Tim Cottrell, Smuggler Land Office, said the restaurant community has tried to work with the city and to come up with a solution. Councilwoman Richards said she favors as much cleaning of the streets and street sand as possible given the conditions. Councilwoman Richards said even when the streets are not sanded, they get dirty from other sources. Councilwoman Richards said her main interest is clean air and the health of the residents of Aspen. This issue is the Aspen plan or the EPA plan. Councilwoman Richards said she favors the Aspen plan. Councilwoman Richards said restaurants grills affect the visual quality of the air. Councilwoman Richards suggested standards for different types of restaurants. Councilwoman Richards said she is interested to see conclusive evidence on what the contributions are from the different sources of PM 10. Councilwoman Richards favors passing this ordinance to meet the state deadline. Councilwoman Pendleton said amendments to the SIP can be submitted if better solutions are found or some solutions do not work at all. Councilwoman Pendleton said she favors passing this ordinance. Councilman Peters said his goal is to make Aspen's air as clean as it can be with everyone reasonably contributing to the solution. Councilman Peters said some of these regulations have been in effect for 9 years. Councilman Peters said he will approve the 6 month provision for a new restaurant. Mayor Bennett said one issue is what the city needs to do to get by the EPA and state-mandated action requirements. The other issue is cleaning up the air of Aspen. Mayor Bennett said the city has no choice on the first issue; there will either be a state plan or a local plan. Mayor Bennett said the state plan is worse on the restaurant industry than is Aspen's. Aspen's plan includes paid parking. Mayor Bennett questioned whether either plan will clean up Aspen's air, which is the goal. Mayor Bennett said he has reservations about this ordinance; however, the weight of evidence is to the good. Mayor Bennett urged the restaurant association to participate in the state hearing January 21, 1993. Councilman Peters moved to adopt Ordinance #74, Series of 1992, on second reading as amended; seconded by Councilwoman Pendleton. Roll call vote; Councilmembers Richards, yes; Pendleton, yes; Peters, yes; Mayor Bennett, yes. Motion carried. RESOLUTION #69, SERIES OF 1992 - Adopting Aspen PM 10 Plan Lee Cassin, environmental health department, requested Council table this, after public comment, to January 11. This will allow 6 Regular Meeting Aspen City Council December 14, 1992 the transportation implementation committee to meet and further their plan. Ms. Cassin said the reason to regulate PM 10 is that research shows it is the number 1 environmental hazard in the country and people die at levels below those in Aspen. Ms. Cassin said the process does not fit well with what is happening in the community. On January 21st the state will adopt a plan, either Aspen's plan or the EPA plan. Ms. Cassin pointed out the packet contains a copy of the report prepared by the consultant hired at the insistence of the EPA to evaluate the credits assigned to the proposal. There are chart showing the credits assigned to different control measures under the state-EPA plan and Aspen's plan. There is also material documenting that Aspen has the resources to carry out these plans. The plan Council is being asked to adopt by this resolution is one they saw in October. This was presented to the state. Ms. Cassin pointed out the control measures in the plan will not have to be implemented until December 1993. If Council approves the plan, they are taking another step toward implementing these controls rather than specifics of the controls. Ms. Cassin reiterated the SIP can be amended with other control strategies that have equivalent PM 10 reductions. Ms. Cassin said certain strategies will probably work better than others. Ms. Cassin noted an enhanced street sweeping program is part of this plan as well as the state plan. Ms. Cassin said minimizing sand and using hard clean sand is in both the state and Aspen's plan. Another common element of the plans is a voluntary no burn on high pollution days. Ms. Cassin told Council this was included as it is voluntary and not as painful as some other control strategies. Also there are not enough pounds per day reduction if this is not included. Ms. Cassin said Aspen needs to buy some time to find out how well strategies work and what may need to be done further. The state plan contains the provision that all charbroilers be controlled. Aspen's plan has several traffic reductions, like expanded mass transit, cross town shuttle, paid parking, resident permit parking, and a voluntary no drive program. Ms. Cassin said staff feels the state implementation plan will not significantly lower PM 10 and that the local plan will, which addresses the 80 percent of PM 10 that comes from traffic and repeatedly driving over sand. Ms. Cassin said the local plan balances the controls in a way that is cost effective and targets the greatest part of the problem. Ms. Cassin handed out a chart describing emissions from various sources in grams per hour. Ms. Cassin reminded Council the community needs to come up with 197 pounds per day. Aspen does not get a lot of credit for street sweeping. The proposal is to sweep 7 Regular Meeting Aspen City Council December 14, 1992 all the way to the airport. The community will get 66 pounds per day credit from the EPA. Ms. Cassin said this is vastly inflated. Included in this strategy is paid parking and resident permit parking. There will also be additional buses to meet the demand, which does not give additional credit because it is needed to meet the demand. Ms. Cassin said the reason staff is not recommending taking out charbroilers is that the 30 pounds of day would have to be substituted from somewhere else and the community does not have it. The EPA is also requiring a contingency plan which would automati- cally go into effect if one of the city's control measures does not work. The EPA has said they are doubtful Aspen can meet their required goal. Ms. Cassin said this has to be implemented by December 1993. The first contingency plan depends on how much traffic reduction is measured on voluntary no drive days. A further reduction has to happen by December 1997. Jack Reid, streets superintendent, told Council in 1989, the city budgeted for 1200 tons of street sand per year. This was asphalt coated sand. The city eliminated the asphalt coated sand and has reduced the amount of sand significantly. Reid told Council the city is applying liquid de-icer to the sand in the spinner as well as directly to the streets when the conditions are right. Reid said the spinner on the sand truck covers two lanes. Reid said sanding is done at intersections on Main and some shady parts of Main. Reid told Council a new sweeper has been purchased, a terra-vac. It can sweep when the ambient temperature is high enough not to create freezing in the hose. Mayor Bennett opened the public hearing. Raymond Auger said Aspen is surrounded by dirty streets and the intersections are full of gravel that could be swept up. If the city has a vacuum machine, it should be used constantly. Reid said the streets department does not have enough people to run this all the time. There are freezing problems even when the sun is out. The Elgin sweeper picks up larger particles, but it is a water use system. Reid told Council the sweeper gets 24 cubic yards cleaned from it every 3 days. Scott MacDonald said the street sweepers are too late after the PM 10 is generated. MacDonald said he would not like to hear street sweepers going 24 hours a day. MacDonald asked what is the exposure to PM 10. Ms. Cassin said the federal standard is 150 millionths of a gram in every cubic meter of air. Ms. Cassin said studies indicate this standard is too lenient and needs to be 8 Regular Meeting Aspen City Council December 14, 1992 lowered to protect public health. Mayor Bennett said Council has met with the Commissioners and the health department and talked about whether to just do cosmetic things to satisfy the EPA. The Council and Commissioners gave firm directions their primary goal is to increase the air quality in Pitkin County and to reduce pollution. David Guthrie said sand trucks seem to inundate the road with sand which seems unnecessary. Caroline MacDonald said she would like to make sure the PM 10 level is reduced, no matter how the city does it. Ms. MacDonald suggested lowering the speed limit on Main street, which would reduce the amount of dust being kicked up. Michael McHugh said the community has to support decreasing the traffic. McHugh suggested an intercept lot at the airport or Buttermilk with free shuttles into town. Councilwoman Richards said the city is trying to get CDOT to acknowledge its responsibility for Highway 82. Councilwoman Richards noted CDOT was not going to deal with air quality at all in their EIS for the four-lane and leave it all up to the tax payers. Councilwoman Richards suggested requiring private parking lots over a certain size to be swept. Councilwoman Richards said if the plan does not work, this will all be back on the table. Councilwoman Richards said Aspen's air quality, ambiance and viability will depend on reduced traffic and automobile dominance. Councilwoman Pendleton said there is an implementation group meeting and anyone is invited to attend and to share ideas. Councilwoman Pendleton said everyone knows how to cure the parking problem, as long as it does not affect them. Councilwoman Pendleton said it will take a shift in attitudes to get this problem corrected. Mayor Bennett agreed with the above comments. Councilman Peters said he is willing to approve this resolution. Councilman Peters said he feels paid parking downtown will help reduce parking and dust as will some of the other strategies. Councilman Peters said this is a serious long term health problem that needs to be dealt with. Councilwoman Richards said she supports increased sweeping and more efficient sanding programs. Councilwoman Pendleton moved to table Resolution #69, Series of 1992, until January 11, 1993; seconded by Councilwoman Richards. All in favor, motion carried. ORDINANCE #69, SERIES OF 1992 - 620 E. Hyman Condominiumization Leslie Lamont, planning office, reminded Council staff is working on text amendments to deal with the condominiumization legislation. 9 Regular Meeting Aspen City Council December 14, 1992 These amendments should be adopted in April. Ms. Lamont suggested condominiumization applications be put off until after adoption of these text amendments. Ms. Lamont said this applicant wishes to proceed with second reading. Ms. Lamont told Council there are caveats to applicants in going forward; they could lose their 30 days for judicial review, the text amendments may not be what the applicant expected. Sunny Vann, representing the applicant, told Council they would like to complete the process under existing regulations. This ordinance states if the code is changed and it is beneficial to the applicants, they may avail themselves of it. Otherwise, the existing regulations are acceptable. Mayor Bennett opened the public hearing. There were no comments. Mayor Bennett closed the public hearing. Councilwoman Pendleton moved to adopt Ordinance #69, Series of 1992, on second reading; seconded by Councilwoman Richards. Councilman Peters said he has questions about the implications of the condominiumization laws as they relate to subdivision. Jed Caswall, city attorney, said staff is working on recommendations. Roll call vote; Councilmembers Peters, yes; Pendleton, yes; Richards, yes; Mayor Bennett, yes. Motion carried. Councilwoman Richards moved to suspend the rules and extend the meeting to 9:30 p.m.; seconded by Councilman Peters. All in favor, with the exception of Councilwoman Pendleton. Motion carried. ORDINANCE #78, SERIES of 1992 - 320 W. Main Condominiumization Kim Johnson, planning office, requested this be tabled to January 11, 1993. Councilwoman Pendleton moved to table Ordinance #78, Series of 1992, to January 11, 1993; seconded by Councilman Peters. All in favor, motion carried. RFTA SUPPLEMENTAL BUDGET - Resolution 92-7 Dan Blankenship, RFTA general manager, reminded Council the IGA requires whenever the finances vary by 10 percent and $10,000, this needs to be approved by Council. This request is to increase the operating budget $203,000 to include higher assessments for workman's comp and health insurance. Blankenship said there was bond proceeds to purchase buses of $1,030,000. The bus acquisition has not occur red. Money in debt service reserve was freed up, 10 Regular Meeting Aspen City Council December 14, 1992 which can be transfer red to the RFTA capital fund. The net revenue change to the capital budget is $1,728,138 and for the entire resolution is $1,525,138. Blankenship said revenues in excess of projections will be used to fund prior year assessments. Mayor Bennett opened the public hearing. There were no comments. Mayor Bennett closed the public hearing. Councilman Peters moved to approve RFTA Resolution 92-7; seconded by Councilwoman Pendleton. All in favor, motion carried. ORDINANCE #23, SERIES OF 1992 - Berger Annexation Councilman Peters moved to read Ordinance #23, Series of 1992; seconded by Councilwoman Richards. All in favor, motion carried. ORDINANCE #23 (Series of 1992) AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ASPEN, COLORADO, APPROVING THE ANNEXATION OF CERTAIN TERRITORY TO THE CITY OF ASPEN, COLORADO, TO BE KNOWN AND DESIGNAT ED AS THE BERGER ANNEXATION was read by the city clerk Kim Johnson, planning office, reminded Council this was continued from July when Council was just starting the joint transportation plan with Pitkin County and Snowmass. Council wanted to insure this annexation would not negatively impact these discussions. Ms. Johnson recommended approval of the annexation. This property is surrounded on 3 sides by the city and it would be helpful to be in control of the gateway to Aspen. George Robinson, parks director, said he would like to have a fisherman's easement from the river into Berger's property. Robinson said this can be worked out by second reading. Councilman Peters moved to adopt Ordinance #23, Series of 1992, on first reading and have second reading February 8, 1993; seconded by Councilwoman Richards. Councilwoman Pendleton said she will vote against this for the same reasons as before. Mayor Bennett said the transportation process Council was in the middle of in July is over; they have come to a resolution and agreed on a plan. Roll call vote; Councilmembers Richards, yes; Pendleton, no; Peters, yes; Mayor Bennett, yes. Motion carried. 11 Regular Meeting Aspen City Council December 14, 1992 ORDINANCE #24, SERIES OF 1992 - Berger Zoning Councilman Peters moved to read Ordinance #24, Series of 1992; seconded by Councilwoman Richards. All in favor, motion carried. ORDINANCE #24 (Series of 1992) AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ASPEN, COLORADO, ZONING THE BERGER ANNEXATION PARCEL TO R-15 MODERATE DENSITY RESIDENTIAL was read by the city clerk Councilman Peters moved to adopt Ordinance #24, Series of 1992, on first reading; seconded by Councilwoman Richards. Councilwoman Richards asked if this is an upzoning from current zoning. Ms. Johnson said it is not. Roll call vote; Councilmembers Pendleton, no; Richard, yes; Peters, yes; Mayor Bennett, yes. Motion carried. RESOLUTION #72, SERIES OF 1992 - Sister Cities Housing Board Councilman Peters moved to approve Resolution #72, Series of 1992, appointing Board of Directors to the Sister Cities Housing Board; seconded by Councilwoman Pendleton. All in favor, motion carried. BILLINGS PROJECT Councilman Peters said the issue is whether or not to pay down $200,000 of the $800,000 note still owed to the Billings in order to create adequate security for the loan from Shimakapu to build the affordable housing and to induce the Billings to release the affordable housing land for sale and keep their note secured by the free market side only. This makes the security for Shimakapu commensurate with the amount of the loan and also brings down the cost of the note where it may be supported by the free market half of the land. Jed Caswall, city attorney, told Council Billings will still have the first deed of trust against the property. Caswall said the city will now carry this as a loan. Councilman Peters said there is $480,000 from Shimakapu here now for the project. Mayor Bennett said the plan is to build and sell the affordable housing units. Councilman Peters said the free market lots with approvals can then be marketed. Caswall said the parcel is not subdivided nor is it eligible for subdivision. Leslie Lamont, planning office, said the units are condominiumized and the units can be sold individually. If this went through subdivision, it would create 2 non-conforming 12 Regular Meeting Aspen City Council December 14, 1992 lots of record. This could be two separate homeowners associations rather than two separate tracts of land. Amy Margerum, city manager, said the Sister Cities Housing Board will manage and oversee the contract. The city staff has no connection with this project. Councilman Peters said this is a stand alone project being done by a non-profit group. There has been an attempt to get Board members with expertise in this area. Mayor Bennett said this project is a private/public partnership. This should not cost the city any money. Councilman Peters pointed out the free market section might be developed as further afford- able housing or resident occupied units. Ms. Lamont reminded Council this would take a PUD amendment. Councilwoman Richards said the site could also be traded. Councilwoman Pendleton moved to adjourn at 9:30 p.m.; seconded by Councilman Peters. All in favor, motion carried. Kathryn S.
