COUNCILMEMBER COMMENTS
1. Councilwoman Richards announced CIVA is creating a comprehen-
sive publication of Roaring Fork Valley job opportunities for
volunteers. The deadline for this publication is April 20th.
2. Councilwoman Richards said Leadership Aspen is acceptin g
applications for their 94-95 program through the end of April.
3. Councilwoman Richards reported the CAST meeting was very well
attended. There was a lunch with the legislators and Governor
Romer at which CAST's concerns about welcome centers and the 800
number were expressed. Councilwoman Richards said there is a
pending bill regarding amendment 1 that would greatly affect Aspen
and Pitkin County and staff should keep an eye on this.
4. Amy Margerum, city manager, told Council the East Cooper
affordable housing project did receive a height variance from P &
Z. Leslie Lamont, planning office, told Council the affordable
housing zone allows a special review for a height variance of up to
5 feet. After the project was reviewed, the building department
noticed the building was over height. Staff took this back to P &
Z for special review; public notice is not required for special
review. Staff did send a letter to the spokesperson for the
surround ing neighbors. Ms. Lamont reminded Council as part of the
review Council did establish where natural grade was because this
used to be a gravel pit. This building is 30 feet to the midpoint
of the roof. Ms. Lamont reminded Council after approval of this
project, they directed staff to expedite the project. Mayor
Bennett said with an issue as controversial as height variance,
Council should see it. Ms. Lamont noted height variations should
1
Regular Meeting Aspen City Council April 11, 1994
be looked at very carefully; they only occur in affordable housing
and PUD overlays.
5. Amy Margerum, city manager, sa id on the Burnt Mountain
environmental statement, a record of decision has already been
issued. The only avenue to comment is an administrative appeal.
John Worcester, city attorney, said the period for administrative
appeals expires May 2. The county has not decided whether they
will appeal or not. Mayor Bennett suggested Council discuss this
at lunch next Monday.
6. Amy Margerum, city manager, reminded Council there is a joint
meeting with the Board of County Commissioners Monday April 18th to
discuss the growth management changes and a meeting with the BOCC
April 19th to discuss resident occupied units.

WILLIAMS RANCH CONCEPTUAL PUD
Mayor Bennett entered into the record letters from Popish, Pitkin
County Open Space Board, and Steve Fitzgerald & Kristin Geroge.
Mary Lackner, planning office, reminded Council this project is
requesting annexation, rezoning to affordable housing, and
subdivision approval. The project is 54 units; 16 free market and
38 deed restricted units on 12.7 acres. Council raised several
issues at the March 14th meeting. The first was an open space
buffer between Centennial and this project. Ms. Lackner pointed
out the applicant redesigned the lower portion of the property and
moved one fourplex to the upper level and created another 28,000
square feet open space buffer between Centennial.
Another concern was lots 15 and 16 which overlook Centennial. The
2
Regular Meeting Aspen City Council April 11, 1994
road has been moved which pulled the homesites off the steep slope.
The applicant has committed to a height limit of 18 feet and a
reduced allowed FAR to 90 percent. Some units have been reconfig-
ured. Council was also concerned about the proximity to the
Smuggler mine. The applicant has an application into the county to
run tours on the mine property and to open the mine for active
operations. The applicant feels up to 20 tons of material can be
taken out a day. Staff has concerns about houses close to a
commercial impact. There should be additional information on this
before final review. Ms. Lackner pointed out this mine is on the
national register of historic places. The applicant is being asked
to go through HPC review.
Ms. Lackner said the city is looking at contracting a traffic and
transportation study for the area to determine the impacts from
Williams Ranch on the existing system and what measures can be
taken. This report will be submitted prior to final review. Ms.
Lackner pointed out the Pitkin County Open Space board recommends
this be purchased for open space. Ms. Lackner told Council the
applicant has reconfigured lot 15 to make it more appropriate for
development. P & Z recommends approval of the project with the
conditions listed in the memorandum.
Chuck Roth, engineering department, showed a map of the area,
noting the streets that would be affected by this project. Roth
told Council a 24-hour traffic county was done recently which
showed a total of 2800 vehicles on South street and 1045 on Park
Circle. Statistics are 4 vehicle trips per person during a 24 hour
period. The proposed project will be adding about 300 vehicle
trips per day. The final report should look at the bus system, bus
routes, paid parking plan. Roth requested $2500 from Council's
contingency to help pay for the traffic study; the applicants have
committed to matching this. Roth told Council there are right-of-
way problems on Park and Midland avenue intersection. The study
will also look at additional sidewalks requirements, sign changes,
crosswalks, on-street parking conditions and will give conceptual
cost estimates for any improvements in this area.
Tom Stephens, representing the applicant, showed the conceptual
revised. The building closest to Centennial has been eliminated,
replaced with a smaller building and was moved up the hill. This
creates 28,000 square feet more of open space for a total of 1.25
acre for the entire project. The latest plan reconfigures the area
closest to Centennial. Two duplexes have been split into single
family lots. On 4 single family units, a one-bedroom unit has been
added. Stephens told Council the height has been limited to 18
feet. People can build two-stories but the second floor has to be
in the pitched roof. Flat roofs will be covenanted against.
Stephens told Council the developer proposes to limit the FAR to 90
3
Regular Meeting Aspen City Council April 11, 1994
percent of that allowed by Code.
Stephens said the traffic study to be done by Leigh, Scott and
Cleary should give some direction on how to proceed in solving
traffic issues. Stephens said the standard used is 4 vehicle trips
per day; Pitkin County uses 7 trips per day per unit. At these
rates the proposed development is between 216 and 378 vehicle trips
per day. This is between 5 and 9 percent of the total vehicle
trips in this area.
Stephens told Council he has met with RFTA; there is no data that
says how many riders are generated in a development. RFTA is in a
reactionary mode and increases services when needed. The existing
transit service in this neighborhood is every 20 minutes. Stephens
said a bus running every 10 minutes in two different directions
will probably not happen with or without Williams Ranch because of
personnel costs.
Stephens said the architecture tries to echo old Aspen style with
Victorian flavor. Stephens said the buildings are positioned so
that when one is looking up to them from town it is the short end
of the building. Stephens said the facades are broken up rather
than a monolithic structure. Stephens said there are 12 townhomes
in 3 four-plexes, 8 units in 4 duplexes, 18 single family houses
and 16 free market units for a total of 54 units.
Stephens said Council suggested looking at a subsidy for the
project. Stephens said if Council wants to put money towards the
project, it would be better if the city put that money into the
road system to benefit the entire area. Stephens said some people
may be confusing density with size. This is 12.72 acres. Density
is the number of units divided by number of acres. This project is
4.25 units per acres; most affordable housing projects have ranged
from 9 to 32 units per acre. Centennial is 17 units per acre.
Stephens said this project is designed to be a transition between
the higher density and the open space on Smuggler Mountain. 54
units is a large project.
Stephens said there is not much land left in the upper valley on
which to create affordable housing. Council will have to look at
the density on every project. Every project is driven by econom-
ics. Stephens told Council the applicant cannot decrease the size
of this project. Stephens said the applicant can look at configu-
ration of units; creation of open space to help the feeling of the
project. Stephens said there is a list of suggested items in the
letter from the Open Space Board and there are things listed that
the applicant cannot do. Stephens said the applicant cannot delete
all development above the 8040 line nor does the code require an
applicant to do that. Stephens said neither can they get rid of
4
Regular Meeting Aspen City Council April 11, 1994
all units below the Salvation ditch. Stephens said they cannot
reduce the project by 33 percent and still have a viable project.
Councilwoman Richards asked what 20 tons a day out of the mine
would mean. Stephan Albouy said this would be about one dump truck
load. Councilwoman Richards asked about the Superfund clean up.
Gary Wright, representing the applicant, said they are currently
negotiating an administrative order of consent with the EPA.
Wright said the applicants have a plan that has been accepted in
concept by the EPA. Councilwoman Richards asked what party will be
responsible for the clean up. Wright said the Smuggler Durant
Mining Corporation, owner of the property, is the current legally
responsible party.
Councilman Paulson asked the height restriction on the free market
unit. Stephens said it is 25 feet. Councilman Paulson said this
should be lower. Wright said the point of the AH zone is to give
the private sector an incentive to subsidize affordable housing
from free market units. Every restriction Council adds takes away
from the ability to market these units. Ms. Lackner said the
height restriction is an issue that can be addressed at final
submission. Ms. Lackner suggested the applicants flag the heights
of the various buildings for Council to view before final submis-
sion.
Stephens told Council he looked at donating one of the eastern most
lots for parks and recreation. This was looked at with the parks
department who felt there was no value to lots 15 and 16 as
recreation. Stephens said the applicants have located the houses
where they will be of the least impact. Councilman Paulson said he
would like to see a larger buffer between Centennial and this
project. Stephens told Council the applicants have considered
building the structures on lots 15 and 16 themselves so they can be
sure there will be adequate landscaping. Stephens said they are
will put a landscaping covenant on these units.
Councilwoman Waggaman asked how many people will be employed by the
mine. Albouy said a maximum of 8 employees, some of whom will live
at Williams Ranch.
Mayor Bennett opened the public hearing.
Mr. Yurichenko said this is the most beautiful piece of land that
can be developed; the layout of this project is well done.
Yurichenko said he hopes this project is realized. Helen Palmer
said she would like to see this project become a reality. Mike
Thuillier said this is a great project and he would like to move
back up valley. Terry Shafer said this is a worthwhile project
that will not use public money. Roby Albouy supports this project.
5
Regular Meeting Aspen City Council April 11, 1994
Cecil Lewis, Spruce street, said this is taking away the last
visual open space in this area of town. This project should be
built with less density. Lewis said the entire parcel should be
addressed at one time so that everyone will know what is planned
for the rest of the land.
Tom Thomas said this is one of the last opportunities for people to
stay in Aspen. There are not many big pieces of land left. Dave
Zamansky said he would like to move back to Aspen and not to have
to travel highway 82 seven days a week. Ward Hauenstein, Spruce
street, said the density in this area is already quite heavy, maybe
the heaviest in the valley. Hauenstein said his objections are not
site specific; it is the overall density in the area. Hauenstein
applauded the efforts of this applicant because they are not asking
for any government monies. Vicki Brook said she favor the project.
There are more employee units than free market units. Jackie
Parker said she was born here and hopes to be able to live in this
project. Dana Knight said she is in full support of the project.
Kyser, Williams Woods, said Council should consider the overall
values of the community like keeping employees in town. Jon Busch,
Smuggler Mountain resident, said this area is constantly hit for
more than their share of affordable housing. Busch said he does
not have a problem with the density; this is a good project. Busch
said he would like to see as much open space as possible within the
project. Hal Clifford, Centennial, said he hoped to see more
improvements in the project since the first meeting than he has.
Clifford said the threshold issue is the concept of growth; every
development is reasonable on its face. This project has very good
reasons to be built, and it should be built as employee housing.
Clifford said he feels this project is to pay for the redevelopment
of the mine. Clifford said he would like to see the density
brought down with some subsidy from the city.
John Erspamer, Spruce street, said he would rather live next to
employees than empty houses. Erspamer said he is concerned about
the streets in the area and the blind corner on Spruce street.
Erspamer said this area needs open space and parks; there are a lot
of kids in the area. Kim Kalin said this is an interesting project
with a private developer. Jay Parker said he supports the project.
Brian Benton said this is a chance for him to own something in
Aspen and for the type of people who work in Aspen to own some-
thing. Fred Soyka said he is concerned about open space, a buffer
between Centennial and seeing the density reduced. Raymond Auger
pointed out the land above 8040 was zoned AF-10, one house per 10
acres. One-third of this project is above the 8040 green line and
the requested density violates the county principle. Auger said
the 8040 line should be an absolute barrier to development.

Regular Meeting Aspen City Council April 11, 1994
Sandra, Centennial closest to the project, said she is disappoint ed
there is not more of a barrier between the two projects. Sandra
said she is not against the project but would like to see more of a
buffer. Gary Kelly said he would rather see Stephan Albouy develop
this project than an unknown. Nicki Snizek said this is one of the
nicest projects and she would like to see it more forward.
Mayor Bennett closed the public hearing.
Councilwoman Waggaman said Council needs to look at controlling the
amount of free market and commercial space in order to control the
need for employee housing. Councilwoman Waggaman said she feels
this is too dense but would be willing to look at tightening up the
size of each individual parcel rather than limiting the number of
units. Councilwoman Waggaman said she likes the 1400 square foot
house with a 600 square foot one-bedroom unit. Councilwoman
Waggaman said she feel a 2200 square foot resident occupied unit is
much too big; there is not that much land left. Councilwoman
Waggaman suggested 2,000 gross square feet for the RO units.
Councilwoman Waggaman said she would like the free market units to
be limited in size. Councilwoman Waggaman said she would rather
see a 22 foot height limit or a maximum of 25 feet that does not go
to the mid-point of the roof.
Councilwoman Waggaman said she would like the issue of how much the
applicant is paying for the mine addressed. Councilwoman Waggaman
said she would like the access on Spruce street limited perhaps
only to emergency vehicles.
Councilman Reno said if the city owned this land for employee
housing, they may have proposed more units because of the urgent
need for affordable housing. Councilman Reno said he likes the
single family unit break down of the building masses. Councilman
Reno said he is concerned about the congestion on Spruce street.
Councilman Reno said he would like to see parking underneath the
townhouses to effect more green space and less pavement.
Mayor Bennett said the applicant has made good efforts to respond
to Council's concerns from the last meeting. Mayor Bennett said
his threshold issues are size and density, traffic, and open space.
Mayor Bennett said he feels the fourplexes are very crowded.
Mayor Bennett said the AACP states this is a great spot for low
density affordable housing single family and duplex lots. The AACP
also says this is a good place to test the small house/small lot
idea. Mayor Bennett said one way to help the project is to
purchase the lower bench with open space money. Wright reminded
Council one thing that has made the purchase of this property so
difficult is that it is all in the OU2 study area; the portion that
is not being annexed has some high lead levels. There are risks
7
Regular Meeting Aspen City Council April 11, 1994
involved in ownership and development.
Councilwoman Richards said this has been presented as a take it or
leave it proposition, which makes it difficult for Council.
Councilwoman Richards said the city is not going to solve all its
affordable housing projects in one site. Councilwoman Richards
said she would like to see the parking for the townhouses either
beneath or behind the units. Councilwoman Richards said the 28,000
square feet of open space being added will be surrounded by cars
and pavement. Councilwoman Richards said she would support the
project if there are no townhouses or parking below the ditch line;
this should be entirely open space. Councilwoman Richards said
this area really needs a larger active open space area. Council-
woman Richards said this project is too dense, most in the fourplex
townhouses. This would be a better project if one fourplex and one
free market house were dropped. Councilwoman Richards said she
would like to see a traffic control plan at final review.
Councilwoman Richards said a visual model for final review is
critical as is what is happening to the entire parcel. Councilwom-
an Richards said she would like to know if there is an ability to
further subdivide the property. Councilwoman Richards agreed with
the suggestion of tightening up the lot sizes to get more open
space as well as having landscaping covenants.
Councilman Paulson said a very difficult issue is knowing when to
stop allowing more houses, providing more jobs. Councilman Paulson
said he would like to see less density. Every development adds to
air pollution, traffic, etc. Ms. Lackner said compliance with the
state implementation plan will be addressed at final review.
Councilman Paulson said he is bothered by the mining issue.
Councilman Paulson said he would like to see Spruce street closed
to emergency vehicles only. Councilman Paulson said height is an
important issue.
Stephens said they can put access on the Smuggler Mountain road;
however, the city and county staff recommended two access points to
keep the traffic dispersed. Stephens said the developers can look
at all comments to how they can be addressed. Diane Moore,
planning director, reminded Council conceptual approval does not
vest any development rights or specific plan, it does give the
applicant permission to go forward. Stephens reiterated the
project cannot survive a reduction in density and if this going to
happen, they need to know now.
Councilman Reno said he is prepared to approve the project at the
presented density as long as the applicants address resiting of the
buildings to get more open space. Councilwoman Waggaman said she
would consider 54 units as long as she can see how much smaller the
units could be, including the free market units. Mayor Bennett
8
Regular Meeting Aspen City Council April 11, 1994
said adding more units in this area is adding to the degradation of
the quality of life and is too steep a price to pay for affordable
housing. Councilwoman Richards said she can accept this density
level if all units are above the Salvation ditch and the entire
area below the ditch remains as an open space area. Councilwoman
Richards reiterated the parking belongs behind the townhouses in
order to accomplish this.
Councilman Reno moved to approve Williams Ranch affordable housing
conceptual development plan subject to the conditions outlined in
the memo and to direct the applicant to look at keeping space below
the ditch open space, retaining the number of units at 54,
specifically look at Spruce street traffic mitigation that the
traffic plan will address; seconded by Councilwoman Richards.
Councilwoman Richards said she wants the traffic study to address
control issues, where speed bumps might be, if roads should be
closed, etc.
Roll call vote; Councilmembers Richards, yes; Paulson, no;
Waggaman, yes; Reno, yes; Mayor Bennett, no. Motion carried.
ORDINANCE #9, SERIES OF 1994 - Elimination of Sunset Provision in
Ordinance #1, 1990
Diane Moore, planning director, told Council this elimination of
the sunset provision does not propose any changes to Ordinance #1.
Staff will come back with recommendation for changes after the
growth management revisions.
Mayor Bennett opened the public hearing. A letter from Roland
Fisher against this ordinance was read into the record. This
ordinance excludes the R-15B zone and gives non-uniform treatment
to property owners. Mayor Bennett closed the public hearing.
Leslie Lamont, planning office, explained that the R-15B zone
district was written for Eastwood and Knollwood when they were
annexed into the city and requested that duplexes not be allowed
uses. Councilwoman Waggaman said she would like to keep the bi-
annual review of this and not put it in the land use code.
Councilwoman Richards moved to adopt Ordinance #9, Series of 1994,
on second reading; seconded by Councilman Paulson Roll call vote;
Councilmembers Reno, yes; Paulson, yes; Richards, yes; Mayor
Bennett, yes; Waggaman, no. Motion carried.
ORDINANCE #11, SERIES OF 1994 - Golf Course Fee Increase
Bill Efting, assistant city manager, told Council the golf
9
Regular Meeting Aspen City Council April 11, 1994
committee met and agreed on this fee increase in order to fund golf
improvements.
Mayor Bennett opened the public hearing. There were no comments.
Mayor Bennett closed the public hearing.
Councilman Paulson said he feels the golf course is beautiful
without adding a lot of improvements. Efting said there are
improvements that need to be made to make the play better. Efting
said staff will do everything they can to keep the course afford-
able.
Councilman Reno moved to adopt Ordinance #11, Series of 1994, on
second reading; seconded by Councilwoman Richards. Roll call vote;
Councilmembers Waggaman, yes; Paulson, yes; Richards, yes; Reno,
yes; Mayor Bennett, yes. Motion carried.
EIS SCOPING
Diane Moore, planning director, said staff is looking for scoping
comments to forward to CDOT. Ms. Moore divided the comments into
main subjects with questions to be included in the scoping under
that. (1) Air Quality: Councilwoman Richards asked how directly
the project relates VMT, this term should be spelled out. How does
internal circulation relate to air quality. What assumptions for
traffic demand management are being made; if they are not followed
through, what does this do to the modelling. There were no
comments on 4-F lands, on wetlands, on hazardous materials site.
(2) Social and Economic: Councilwoman Richards asked what this
will do in terms of increased parking and who is financially liable
for this parking. (3) Noise, none. (4) Construction: Councilwom-
an Waggaman asked how the increase in construction vehicles will be
mitigated, traffic and air quality and where will the workers be
housed. Councilwoman Richards asked about the phasing of the
intercept lot facilities. Councilwoman Richards said she does not
want to see components of the project pitted against each other.
Councilman Paulson asked if at some point the intercept lots will
be mandatory. There were no other comments. Councilwoman Richards
asked how resolution passed by several governments are incorporated
into the EIS. Person said they have a strong impact. An EIS will
not get passed if a local community has resolutions against it.
ORDINANCE #14, SERIES OF 1994 - Housing Guidelines
Councilman Reno moved to read Ordinance #14, Series of 1994;
seconded by Councilwoman Richards. All in favor, motion carried.

AN ORDINANCE A DOPTING THE 1994 AFFORDABLE HOUSING
GUIDELINES AS RECOMMENDED BY THE ASPEN/PITKIN COUNTY
HOUSING OFFICE was read by the city clerk
Tom Baker, housing office, pointed out these guidelines have two
approaches to resident occupied units; one for the city and one for
the county. The city's approach is an interim step and the
guidelines will be amended when there is a resolution to RO units.
Mayor Bennett said he recalls that on unit size, "net livable" was
deleted and it was made "gross". Councilwoman Waggaman said she
would like to see this 2,000 gross; this is subsidized housing.
Council agreed to discuss this at the next work session on RO
units. Councilwoman Waggaman said she would like to see people who
have lived here longer get more priority. Councilwoman Richards
said she would like the Board to re-examine the length of time a
dependant needs to qualify; maybe it should be 6 months rather than
9 months.
Councilwoman Richards moved to suspend the rules and extend the
meeting to 9:15 p.m.; seconded by Councilwoman Waggaman. All in
favor, motion carried.
Councilwoman Waggaman moved to adopt Ordinance #14, Series of 1994,
