Councilwoman Pendleton reported Ruedi Water and Power Authority has been pushing for second round water sales to take place. They are still in the process of negotiating contracts. Councilwoman Pendleton said they were hoping the water sales would take place immediately so that downvalley communities could take care of their water needs. Councilwoman Pendleton said the Department of Energy has inquired about purchasing some of the unused water. Councilwoman Pendleton said RWPA has tried to get the Colorado Water Conservation Board to buy the unused portion of water. Councilwoman Pendleton said the agreement is to keep Ruedi at 95,000 acre feet through September 1st and 85,000 acre feet through October 1st and to keep the stream flows in the Frying Pan at 250 cfs. 2. Councilwoman Richards announced May 29th is the Fifth Annual Art Park work day from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Trees have been donated by the Esprit Corporation. 3.

Amy Margerum, city manager, told Council there are 3 appli- cants for the Wheeler Board and 2 applicants for RFTA as well as 1 Regular Meeting Aspen City Council May 24, 1993 several Council appointments that need to be made. Council suggested discussing the Council appointments at the next brown bag meeting. 6. Amy Margerum, city manager, reminded Council staff has been working on the parks master plan. The consultants have completed a survey asking residents what they are looking for in their parks and recreational facilities. Ms. Margerum requested a meeting with Council to go over this survey. Council scheduled this for Wednesday June 2 at noon. 7. Bill Efting, assista nt city manager, told Council staff has been working on the RFP process for the architect for the Red Brick school. There is a meeting with the Red Brick committee May 26th at 9 a.m. Council is invited to this meeting. 8. Tom Stephenson, police chief, u pdated Council on the threat from flood and/or mud slides. Stephenson said there is a task force, which is made up of city and county employees, to analyze the threat and to lay the ground work for emergencies. Tom Newland, county engineer, presented a map showing potential hazards in the city and county. There are flood areas at the confluence of Castle Creek, around Hallam Lake, near the Aspen Art Museum, Herron Park, and at the Cooper Avenue bridge. Newland told Council a letter has been sent to property owners in these areas advising them about flood insurance. Claire Sanderson, Red Cross, told Council she is working to set up some shelters in case of emergencies. One will be at the Aspen schools. Ms. Sanderson noted no repayment is ever asked for help in emergencies. Ms. Sanderson is requesting volunteers for the shelters including an EMT and nurse. CONSENT CALENDAR Councilman Peters moved to adopt the consent calendar as amended; seconded by Councilman Reno. The consent calendar is: A . Minutes - April 12, May 10, 1993 B .

ORDINANCE #17, SERIES OF 1993 - Optional Premises Liquor Licenses 2 Regular Meeting Aspen City Council May 24, 1993 Kathy Strickland, deputy city clerk, told Council this will allow spaces like the Aspen golf course to license outdoor premises next to their facilities. This will make whoever holds the liquor license responsible for the activities on that space. Mayor Bennett opened the public hearing. There were no comments. Mayor Bennett closed the public hearing. Councilman Peters asked if issues raised by ASAP have been resolved. John Worcester, assistant city attorney, told Council he met with Steve Wickes and included their concerns in the ordinance as standards for issues of the license. Councilwoman Pendleton thanked Council for amending this ordinance to let ASAP be a resource for the standards. Councilman Peters moved to adopt Ordinance #17, Series of 1993, on second reading as amended; seconded by Councilman Reno. Roll call vote; Councilmembers Peters, yes; Pendleton, yes; Richards, yes; Reno, yes; Mayor Bennett, yes. ORDINANCE #24, SERIES OF 1993 - Code Amendment - Specially Planned Areas Kim Johnson, planning department, said this code amendment will streamline the SPA process to allow for 2 step review rather than 4 step review. This has been brought forward by the Benedicts in request with their SPA review. Ms. Johnson recommended approval as this will reduce work load for both Council and staff. Mayor Bennett opened the public hearing. There were no comments. Mayor Bennett closed the public hearing. Councilman Peters said he does not favor this code amendment. In the last election the electorate voted against a Charter amendment to change land use issues by ordinance. Also SPA designation is the most powerful land use tool in the city. Councilman Peters said he does not want to encourage a lot of SPA designations. Ms. Johnson said by reducing the SPA review process, there will still be a P & Z public hearing as well as an ordinance adoption process. This is only for cases where the planning director feels there would be no increased public value in a 4-step process. Any project can be required to go through a 4-step review. Sunny Vann pointed out this code amendment has nothing to do with SPA designation. This assumes SPA already in place. Councilman Reno said this code amendment makes the process more 3 Regular Meeting Aspen City Council May 24, 1993 flexible. Mayor Bennett said he agrees with the need to simplify the code. Councilwoman Richards supported this amendment which gives flexibility as the Council may require a 4-step process. Councilman Reno moved to adopt Ordinance #24, Series of 1993, on second reading; seconded by Councilwoman Pendleton. Roll call vote; Councilmembers Peters, no; Pendleton, yes; Richards, yes; Mayor Bennett, yes; Reno, yes. Motion carried. ORDINANCE #25, SERIES OF 1993 - Benedict Map Amendment Mayor Bennett stepped down due to potential conflict of interest. Kim Johnson, planning office, pointed out vested rights is being included for this project. The request is to designate the Benedict building a specially planned area and adopt the existing structures and site plan as the final SPA plan. There is also a request for a use variation as allowed in SPA to allow businesses and professional offices. This property is currently Zoned RR, rural residential, and the office/business uses are non-conforming. Ms. Johnson recommended approval of the development plan, SPA designa tion and vested rights. Sunny Vann, representing the applicant, reminded Council they previously approved a subdivision exemption to condominiumize the Benedict office building. The purpose of that application was to permit subdivision of the office spaces and gift them to M.A.A. and the Tenth Mountain Association as charitable gifts. The building was constructed in 1973 and became non-conforming when this area was zoned RR in 1976. Vann said after condominiumization, the applicants became concerned about the non-conformity, the ability to sell the units and the ability to finance the units. Vann noted the Benedict office building has historically housed a number of local businesses. Vann said one solution is to designate this building SPA and to acknowledge its unique status in the community and to permit the continued existence of these uses. The underly- ing zoning will stay rural residential. There is no expansion being requested or approved as part of this application. Councilwoman Richards asked if it is necessary to designate the entire site SPA or can just the building be designated. Ms. Johnson said the code addresses parcels rather than structures. Council woman Richards asked if the remainder of the property will be listed as open space. Vann said there are 2 separate parking lots and a trail across the rear. Mayor Pro Tem Peters opened the public hearing. 4 Regular Meeting Aspen City Council May 24, 1993 Art Daily, representing the applicant, reiterated 40 percent of this being is being donated to M.A.A. and Tenth Mountain. Many of the tenants have been long term; the price to them is being discounted so they may remain. This SPA designation is not to increase the value of the units. Mike Otte, prospective tenant, Dylan Gibson, and Nicholas DeVore, tenants, both encouraged Council to approve this SPA designation. Mayor Pro Tem Peters closed the public hearing. Councilwoman Pendleton said this was a conforming use at one time and was then zoned RR for the benefit of the Aspen Club. Council- woman Pendleton said she does not see this SPA adds a lot of value to the property. Councilwoman Richards suggested the open space on the parcel now be recorded as part of the SPA for the site. Vann agreed; however, there is some thought to putting employee housing on this parcel in the future. This would be an amendment to the application. The proposed spot at the east end of the parcel is currently shown as open space. Ms. Johnson proposed a condition, "the SPA plan shall designate the existing areas on site absent parking and structures, as open space". Mayor Pro Tem Peters said SPA designations are made for unique or historic circumstances. Mayor Pro Tem Peters said he could support this if 14 percent of the building were designated to non-profit uses. This would make it a unique situation. Fabienne Benedict told Council the percent is based on value, not square footage. Vann said if the intent is to insure a portion of the building remains in a non-profit status, the condition could state the space that is being deeded to the Tenth Mountain stay as non-profit space. Council agreed. Councilwoman Richards moved to adopt Ordinance #25, Series of 1993, with the two additional conditions regarding the open space element of the SPA plan to be recorded with the site plan and that the space currently to be conveyed to the Tenth Mountain Trails Association shall remain as non-profit space within the building; seconded by Councilman Reno. Roll call vote; Councilmembers Peters, yes; Pendleton, yes; Richards, yes; Reno, yes. Motion carried. ORDINANCE #29, SERIES OF 1993 - Code Amendment Fireplaces Lee Cassin, environmental health department, said this ordinance is to allow fireplaces destroyed in a disaster be replaced with natural gas log fireplaces. These may be replaced at a one to one ratio with no maximum; fireplaces rights do not need to be 5 Regular Meeting Aspen City Council May 24, 1993 purchased nor does an applicant have to go through a hearing procedures. Ms. Cassin pointed out the Clean Air Advisory Board reversed their approval of this code amendment. Ms. Cassin told Council staff recommends adoption of this ordinance. Mayor Bennett opened the public hearing. There were no comments. Mayor Bennett closed the public hearing. Councilwoman Richards asked Council not to approve this code amendment. Councilwoman Richards pointed out Council needs to look at the overall public policy not just how to assist the Aspen Alps with their fireplace replacements. Councilwoman Richards noted other Alps buildings may want to remodel or upgrade and will have to follow the current codes. Councilwoman Richards said it would be more appropriate to waive the planning and building fees rather than to waive concerns about the air quality. Councilwoman Richards said she feels this is misplacing the city's sympathies. The Alps will be paying over $10,000 in city fees, and it would be more appropriate to waive these fees. Mayor Bennett said it is a reduction to go from a fireplace to gas logs. Councilman Peters said the owners of the Aspen Alps building have done nothing to trigger the city's abatement ordinances; nothing was done volun tarily. This cannot be equated with reconstruction. A new building can have gas log fireplaces. Councilman Peters said he does not feel it is appropriate to levy a penalty on someone whose house burned down. Councilwoman Pendleton said she does not feel this ordinance is a movement against the city's stance on air quality. Mayor Bennett said he sees this as a gradual and deliberate step toward cleaning up the air. The existing fireplaces cannot be replaced with fireplaces but have to be replaced with gas logs. Councilwoman Pendleton moved to adopt Ordinance #29, Series of 1993, on second reading; seconded by Councilman Peters. Roll call vote; Councilmembers Peters, yes; Pendleton, yes; Richards, no; Mayor Bennett, yes. Motion carried. ORDINANCE #26, SERIES OF 1993 - Pine Glen Townhomes Condominiumiza- tion Kim Johnson, planning office, told Council this duplex is located at 1010-1014 east Hyman Avenue and is almost complete. Ms. Johnson reminded Council staff is reviewing the condominium regulations; however, the applicant is eager to get this accom plished. Language will be included stating the city is contemplat ing text amendments and the applicants are proceeding at their own risk. The appli- 6 Regular Meeting Aspen City Council May 24, 1993 cants have agreed to this. This is a new unit and there are no tenants to give right of first refusal. The applicant has included deed restricted accessory dwelling units so no impact fee is required. Staff recommends approval of this ordinance. Mayor Bennett opened the public hearing. There were no comments. Mayor Bennett closed the public hearing. Councilman Peters moved to adopt Ordinance #26, Series of 1993, on second reading; seconded by Councilwoman Pendleton. Roll call vote; Councilmembers Peters, yes; Pendleton, yes; Richards, yes; Reno, yes; Mayor Bennett, yes. Motion carried. ORDINANCE #27, SERIES OF 1993 - Temporary Use Permit - Theatre in the Park Leslie Lamont, planning office, told Council this temporary use permit is to produce live theatre on the Rio Grande park. The permit is for June 1st to September 20th for performances 4 nights a week from 8 to 10; rehearsals are 6 to 9 p.m. Ms. Lamont told Council staff is trying to wrap up the master plan. Through the SPA process, the Theatre is requesting a permanent use permission. At first reading, Council added a condition that parking be prohibited behind the tent. This has been added to the ordinance. Mayor Bennett opened the public hearing. There were no comments. Mayor Bennett closed the public hearing. Councilwoman Richards asked if some land around the tent is the responsibility of the Theatre Company for insurance and maintenance purposes. Ms. Lamont said last year a boundary was identified on a site plan for which the Theatre was responsible. Councilman Peters said the responsibility for managing the access is the Theatre's. The city will install a barrier and chain. Councilwoman Pendleton moved to adopt Ordinance #27, Series of 1993, on second reading; seconded by Councilwoman Richards. Roll call vote; Councilmembers Peters, yes; Pendleton, yes; Richards, yes; Reno, yes; Mayor Bennett, yes. Motion carried. ORDINANCE #32, SERIES OF 1993 - Final PUD; GMQS Exemption - City Shop Councilman Reno stepped down due to conflict of interest. Councilwoman Pendleton moved to read Ordinance #32, Series of 1993; seconded by Councilman Peters. All in favor, motion carried. 7 Regular Meeting Aspen City Council May 24, 1993 ORDINANCE #32 (Series of 1993) AN ORDINANCE OF THE ASPEN CITY COUNCIL GRANTING APPROVAL OF A FINAL PUD (PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT) DEVELOPMENT PLAN AND GROWTH MANAGEMENT QUOTA SYSTEM EXEMPTION FOR ESSENTIAL PUBLIC FACILITIES FOR THE ASPEN CITY SHOP LOCATED AT 1080 POWER PLANT ROAD, A 1.24 ACRE METES AND BOUNDS PARCEL IN THE CITY OF ASPEN PITKIN COUNTY, COLORADO was read by the deputy city clerk Kim Johnson, planning department told Council this is for the proposed renovation and expansion to the city shop complex. There was a recent bond question for the city shop which was approved by the voters. P & Z and staff recommend approval of this development plan. P & Z also approved stream margin review, conditional use approval for a maintenance facility in a public zone district as well as special review for parking at the site. Ms. Johnson told Council staff is still working on the exact dimension of the right-of-way dedication. This will be finalized by second reading. Councilwoman Richards asked about the concern of the neighbors. Ms. Johnson told Council 2 out of 3 concerns have been addressed. Alan Richman said the drainage should be addressed on-site. If this is not successful, there is a condition that can be added to the approval. Councilman Peters moved to adopt Ordinance #32, Series of 1993, on first reading; seconded by Councilwoman Pendleton. Roll call vote; Councilmembers Peters, yes; Richards, yes; Mayor Bennett, yes; Pendleton, yes. Motion carried. ORDINANCE #30, SERIES OF 1993 - Final PUD Amendment - Truscott Place Councilman Reno moved to read Ordinance #30, Series of 1993; seconded by Councilwoman Pendleton. All in favor, motion carried. ORDINANCE #30 (Series of 1993) AN ORDINANCE OF THE ASPEN CITY COUNCIL GRANTING A SUBSTANTIAL AMENDMENT TO THE FINAL PUD/SUBDIVISION PLAN AND VESTED RIGHTS FOR THE TRUSCOTT PLACE FINAL DEVELOP- MENT PLAN, 39551 STATE HIGHWAY 82, CITY OF ASPEN, PITKIN COUNTY, COLORADO was read by the deputy city clerk 8 Regular Meeting Aspen City Council May 24, 1993 Leslie Lamont, planning office, told Council this request is to allow the housing office to amendment their final PUD development plan to add a 26 square foot storage shed to each studio unit on the old Red Roof Inn building; to replace the split rails with more solid rails for privacy; to enclose the trash recycle bins; and to add 8 more parking spaces at the end of the cul-de-sac. Ms. Lamont requested Council amend the ordinance to include vested rights. Tom Baker, housing director, told Council this is part of the entire renovation plan for Truscott place. This work is to improve the exterior, the quality of life, get storage off the decks. Councilman Peters moved to adopt Ordinance #30, Series of 1993, on first reading; seconded by Councilman Reno. Roll call vote; Councilmembers Peters, yes; Pendleton, yes; Richards, yes; Reno, yes; Mayor Bennett, yes. Motion carried. RESOLUTION #32, SERIES OF 1993 - Little Cloud Water Service Agreement Bob Gish, public works director, told Council the negotiations on this water agreement started 5 years ago. This project was exempt under the moratorium for water line extensions. Staff recommends approval of this agreement and resolution. Councilman Reno moved to approve Resolution #32, Series of 1993; seconded by Councilwoman Pendleton. All in favor, motion carried. RESOLUTION #39, 1993 - East Water Plant Contract Bob Gish, public works director, reminded Council staff had found the water plant was leaking. Schmeuser Gordon Meyer was hired to do an evaluation of the water plant. In May 1992 a report was given to Council. There has been nothing new found since the scope of work was put together. Ordinance #59, 1992, authorized $589,000 for the east water plant repair. Further evaluations are being done on the plant. The asset management plan autho rized money for chlorine work. These are to meet state-mandated requirements to upgrade the water system. The bid package included unconditional repair for the first year. The package did not include the charges necessary if leak repair would be required after the first year. Jay Hammond, Schmeuser, told Council they will have someone on hand during the construc- tion to keep an eye out for potential problems. Hammond pointed out included in the construction documents is the requirement that the basins be tested before the filter media is replaced. Gish said that the new contractors have control only over this correc- 9 Regular Meeting Aspen City Council May 24, 1993 tive work; they have no control how the original work was done. Councilwoman Richards asked what degree of warranty there is for this work. Gish said the price includes an unconditional one year warranty no matter what happens with the exception they do not put the filter media back in. Amy Margerum, city manager, told Council most firms did not even want to give the one-year warranty. Hammond said the leakage problems were caught in time so that they did not cause further structural damage. Councilman Peters said he is not willing to spend an additional $250,000 to get extra guarantees and is ready to approve the contract. Councilman Peters moved to approve the contract with Schmeuser Gordon Meyer for work at the water plant; seconded by Councilwoman Pendleton. All in favor, motion carried. RECOMMENDATIONS ON MALL PERFORMERS Jon Busch, CCLC Chairman, told Council there will be a brochure outlining the city regulations, locations for performances, dates of performances at the Wheeler. Busch told Council the majority recommendation from the CCLC regarding the Mill/Hyman mall area was to prohibit all performers after 6 p.m. Don Swales, CCLC, told Council reasons for the recommendation were public safety, congestion on that corner, and noise. This is an extremely busy corner and does not need added aggravation. Busch said the rest of the CCLC recommended that street performanc- es not be allowed at Mill and Hyman when there are performances taking place inside the Wheeler. Busch showed an example of a sign that could be posted at the Mill and Hyman mall. Busch suggested this sign be the responsibility of the Wheeler staff. Busch said an unresolved conflict is one between performers and horse carriages at Galena and Cooper. These two uses are not compatible. Busch suggested the horse carriages use the loading spaces in front of the Elk's building or Andre's on Galena. Busch said the CCLC supports an ordinance enforcing whichever recommenda- tion Council chooses. Councilwoman Richards said she would favor making the Mill and Hyman corner off limits only when there are performances at the Wheeler for a year trial period. If this is a problem, it can be changed next year. Councilwoman Richards said eliminating performances totally at Mill and Hyman would put more pressure on the Galena/Cooper corner. Councilwoman Richards said the horse carriages add an important, year-round ambience to Aspen. Council- 10 Regular Meeting Aspen City Council May 24, 1993 woman Pendleton said she is a fan of "messy vitality" in the downtown area rather than trying to regulate everything. Mayor Bennett said the prohibition against performances at Mill and Hyman should be kept to when they would conflict with performances at the Wheeler. Mayor Bennett said he would leave the horses where they are at Galena and Cooper. Councilwoman Richards said she would like to see the Mill and Cooper mall enhanced for performanc- es. Councilman Peters agreed. Councilman Peters moved to approve CCLC recommendations on mall performances as amended to provide for disallowing performances only on nights there are performances at the Wheeler at the intersection of Mill and Hyman and directing the police department to use available ordinances to enforce these regulations; seconded by Councilwoman Richards. Councilwoman Richards asked for an amendment to allow the messy mix of horse, benches and performers on Galena and Cooper and enhancing the Mill and Cooper site as a potential performing site. Councilman Peters accepted that amendment. Busch said a sign at Mill and Hyman is needed as a courtesy. Councilman Peters amended his motion to include this sign and to direct the Wheeler staff to be responsible for said sign. All in favor, motion carried. ORDINANCE #31, SERIES OF 1993 - Appropriations Councilman Peters moved to read Ordinance #31, Series of 1993; seconded by Councilwoman Pendleton. All in favor, motion carried. ORDINANCE #31 (Series of 1993) AN ORDINANCE RECOGNIZING GENERAL FUND REVENUES OF $36,900; APPROPRIATING GENERAL FUND EXPENDITURES OF $27,359; TRANSFERRING $23,000 FROM THE GENERAL FUND TO THE PARKING IMPROVEMENT FUND; RECOGNIZING PARKING IMPROVEMENT FUND REVENUES OF $18,000; APPROPRIATING PARKING IMPROVEMENT FUND EXPENDITURES OF $93,000; APPROPRIATING HOUSING/DAYCARE FUND EXPENDITURES OF $43,045; APPROPRIATING 1993 IMPROVEMENT DISTRICTS FUND REVENUES OF $630,000; APPROPRIATING CITY SHOP FUND REVENUES OF $1,800,000; APPROPRIATING CITY SHOP FUND EXPENDITURES OF $1,800,000; REDUCING PREVIOUSLY APPROVED WATER FUND EXPENSES OF $43,160; APPROPRIATING GOLF FUND EXPENSES OF $222,800; APPROPRIATING TRUSCOTT PLACE HOUSING FUND EXPENSES OF $1,118,000; APPROPRIATING MAROLT RANCH HOUSING FUND EXPENSES OF $685,000 was read 11 Regular Meeting Aspen City Council May 24, 1993 by the city clerk Rob Umbreit, finance department, pointed out staff has started using transfers of funds between departments to avoid appropriation ordinances for minor expenditures. These can be done by resolution rather than ordinance. Umbreit noted this ordinance includes revenues for environmental health fees that were approved after the budget was adopted. Umbreit noted parking fund revenues of $18,000 and expenditures of $93,000. Umbreit told Council later this year a parking enterprise fund will be set up, which is where these monies will be budgeted. Umbreit reminded Council they decided during the 1993 budget that golf course capital improvements would not be budgeted until staff and the golf course committee went over the recommenda tions. These are the capital improvements recommended by staff and the committee and include irrigation upgrading, seeding, sand bunkers, tee signs, flowers, etc. Councilwoman Pendleton moved to adopt Ordinance #31, Series of 1993, on first reading; seconded by Councilman Peters. Roll call vote; Councilmembers Peters, yes; Pendleton, yes; Richards, yes; Reno, yes; Mayor Bennett, yes. Motion carried. MOTHER LODE VOLLEYBALL TOURNAMENT Leon Fell, representing the volleyball tournament, said the city of Aspen is the primary beneficiary of this event. Fell said the city has as much right to be involved in this as others. Fell said the organizers have tried not to go after big name sponsors and to keep the event a local event. Fell requested Council consider one of the bottom 3 levels of sponsorship. These levels are $6000, $3500 or $1500. Fell said there are also multi-year contracts for outright grants. Last year 78 local businesses donated prizes to the event. This is a cash-driven event. Councilwoman Richards said she would be willing to sponsor $1500 for this event. Councilwoman Pendleton said there are a lot of organizations that need the city's help. Councilwoman Pendleton said she does not support on-going sponsorship of this event. Councilwoman Pendleton pointed out Council has asked the arts council to come back with suggestions of a more fair way to distribute the city's support and suggested doing this for all the sports events. Councilman Peters said the city should not be in the business of marketing promotion. The businesses of the city should be in the 12 Regular Meeting Aspen City Council May 24, 1993 marketing business. Councilman Peters said the city cooperates with the volleyball tournament and gives them the use of fields. Councilman Reno said he would support a $1500 sponsorship as this event has been part of the community for many years. This gives locals an event to watch and to participate in. Councilman Peters pointed out that the food and wine classic returns 4 to 1 the city's contribution in grants to non-profit organizations in this community. Mayor Bennett said on-going grants are to come out of the city's budget. Council did not give money to the rugby club and had to eliminate the air show. Mayor Bennett said Council has to stick to their rules of only granting money during the budget process. Councilwoman Pendleton moved to adjourn at 9 p.m.; seconded by Councilwoman Richards. All in favor, motion carried. Kathryn S. Koch, City Clerk OUTSTANDING EMPLOYEE BONUS AWARD - Ice Garden 1 .................. CITIZEN COMMENTS 1 ................................ ...............
