Pk _ Reaching Consensus on Affordable Housing Sites Establishing Priorities and Phasing During discussion with the Oversight Committee in Februar;% of 1999 consensus was established on a number of sites identiued`as beinv "High Priority" for affordable housing in the near future. T'ne Committee determined that we should focus our c .zr gv on developing affordable liousin(u), on these sites. PRIORITY SITES Type of Projectpproxi;3true 'Number of AH Units 1.

Burlingame 2. Moore Open Space 3. Additional Density on City Golf Course 4. Aspen Mass (in conjunction ivith USFS Site and Transit Oriented Development) 5. Cozy Point 6. Bass Parcel These sites may become more important if the community is unable to meet affordable housing needs at the agreed upon locations. 13 ' 05"99 Qmc� P*�a: MEMORANDUM TO: Aspen/Pitkin County Growth Management Commission /y THRU: Julie Ann Woods, Community Development Director. ; > Joyce Ohlson, Deputy Director FROM: Christopher Bendon, Planner RE: Burlingame Seasonal Affordable Housing — Public Hearing DATE: June 15, 1999 SUMMARY: The Aspen Music Festival and School (a.k.a. the MAA), represented by Jim Curtis and Harry Teague Architects, has applied for an exemption from the "scoring" and "competition" procedures of growth management for an affordable housing project to include 100 two -bedroom seasonal units and 1 two -bedroom manager's apartment to be located just. north of the Maroon Creek Club affordable housing units. The City of Aspen owns this property and has authorized the MAA to submit a land use application. This area has been commonly referred to as "Parcel B" during discussion about the Burlingame Ranch, and is the smaller of the two projects being contemplated for the parcel. This memorandum does not contain any recommendations regarding the larger "Burlingame Village" project. The project received conceptual PUD approval pursuant to City Council Resolution 99-7. This approval document is included in the application packet. The applicant was directed to amend the site plan after a joint work session with the City P&Z and the City Council. The plan has since progressed through a series of modifications which staff believes have benefited the project in a positive way. The expected users of the seasonal housing are students of the Aspen Music Festival and School during the summer season and the general public the rest of the year. There have been some discussions concerning the possibility of re- designing a few of the units as one -bedroom units and also using a few units for longer -term occupancy periods. Staff recommends the Growth Management Commission recommend the City Council exempt 101 affordable housing units from the scoring and competition procedures of GMQS, with conditions. APPLICANT: The City of Aspen, owner. Represented by Jim Curtis on behalf of the Aspen Music Festival and School. EXHIBIT 14) 1: Z7 LOCATION: Owl Creek Road and State Highway 82. See location maps included in the application. LOT SIZE: The seasonal housing parcel Lot #2 (a.k.a. Parcel B) of the proposed Burlingame Ranch Subdivision, is approximately 3.92 acres. Lot # 1 of the proposed subdivision is approximately 181.3 acres. CURRENT LAND USE: Vacant. PROPOSED LAND USE: Seasonal affordable housing and accessory uses. 101 residential units consisting of 202 beds (100 two -bedroom units and 1 two -bedroom manager's apartment). Accessory uses include a common facility with a lounge, laundry machines, and practice rooms for music students. The Final PUD is being considered by the City Planning and Zoning Commission under a separate public hearing. This application is requesting the property be rezoned to the Residential Multi -Family (RMF-A) Zone District. Once a recommendation is made by the P&Z, the project will proceed to the City Council. PREVIOUS ACTION: The project received conceptual approval pursuant to Council Resolution 99-7, a copy of which has been included in the application. The Growth Management Commission has not previously considered this case. PROCEDURE: Affordable Housing Affordable housing projects are eligible for an exemption from the scoring and competition components of growth management by the City Council. - The application must first, however, be reviewed and considered by the Growth Management Commission at a public hearing. Affordable housing projects are deducted from the annual allotment. Please refer to Exhibit "A" for the applicable criteria. BACKGROUND: The City of Aspen purchased the Burlingame Ranch parcel in January of 1997. The subject area of this proposal was generally referred to as "Parcel B" in discussions about the Burlingame Ranch. There are two Burlingame projects currently being discussed. The "Seasonal Housing" and the "Burlingame Village." This is the seasonal housing project and N does not include any review or recommendation concerning the larger Burlingame Village project. That project is still in its infancy and, while there are still public meetings on occasion and much public discourse, there has been no formal application made for Burlingame Village. Staff does emphasize, however, that the Seasonal Housing project does not preclude or supercede development opportunities on the remainder of the Ranch. GROWTH: While "exempted" from certain procedures of growth management, affordable housing units are deducted from the pool of annual development allotments. The growth management "year" begins every June 1 ". The number of allotments currently available in this category is: Standard Maximum Allotment Pool = B + A Where: AH Pool B = base allotment A = accumulated allotment deficit/surplus (from preceding years; as compared to base allotment 43 Base allotment - 0 Development allotted in current year +60 Allotments not used through 1998 103 Affordable Housing Allotments The applicant is requesting 101 units of the 103 available. As an aside to this project; staff does want to emphasize the significant reduction in the allotment pool for affordable housing. This is a crucial element for the two P&Z's to consider in relation to the update of the. AACP. There are a significant number of affordable housing projects being considered in the short-term: 7`' and Main, Truscott, Stillwater, Burlingame Village, Bavarian, Aspen Mountain PUD, and other private projects in the metro area. These projects are subject to. significant delays in a time when the provision of affordable housing is what many community members have described as "a crisis situation." Staff believes the two Commissions should consider whether the deliberate metering of affordable housing units remains in the public's best interest. The oversight committee of the AACP has contemplated whether growth impacts could be considered in relation to the eventual build -out of the community and the total number of affordable housing units that the upper valley can, and is willing to, support rather than on a per year basis. The two Commissions should consider the balance of community goals in relation to the inadequate yearly allotment pool to accommodate the projects being considered. 3 RECOMMENDATION: City Staff recommends that the Growth Management Commission .recommend to the Aspen City Council the exemption of one -hundred -and -one (101) affordable housing units for "Burlingame Seasonal Housing," with the following conditions: 1. The project shall consist of 100 seasonal two -bedroom units and 1 two - bedroom manager's apartment deed restricted in accordance with the recommendations of the Housing Authority Board. 2. The applicant is fully subject to all reviews and approvals by the Aspen Planning and Zoning Commission and the Aspen City Council as required in the Municipal Code. In no way shall this recommendation imply approval of any other required approval. 3. All material representations made by the applicant in the application and during public meetings with the Growth Management Commission shall be adhered to and considered conditions of this recommendation, unless otherwise amended by other conditions. RECOMMENDED MOTION: "I move to recommend to the Aspen City Council the growth management exemption of 101 affordable housing units for the "Burlingame Seasonal Housing" project, with the conditions listed in the Community Development Department memo dated June 15, 1999." ATTACHMENTS: Exhibit "A" — Review Standards and Staff Comments Exhibit "B" - Agency referral comments Exhibit "C" - Application 2 Exhibit A GMC Staff Comments: Burlingame Seasonal Housing The exemption by City Council is subsequent to review and consideration by the GMC. There are, however, no specific review criteria for this review other than the more general criteria listed below. To the extent possible, staff has incorporated general observations of the project in relation to the Community Plan, the update to the AACP, and pertinent criteria of PUD and Subdivision requirements. "Approval of the method by which the applicant proposes to provide affordable housing shall be at the option of the City Council, upon the recommendation of the Growth Management Commission. In evaluating the applicant's proposal, the advice of the Aspen/Pitkin County Housing Authority shall be sought in considering the following factors:" 1. Whether the city has an adopted plan to develop affordable housing with monies received from payment of affordable housing dedication fees. 2. Whether the city has an adopted plan identifying the applicant's site as being appropriate for affordable housing. Staff Finding: The City, through the Housing Authority, has developed an affordable housing plan for both public and private monies. The site is not identified in the 1993 AACP. However, the ongoing update of he Community Plan describes this site as a "priority." 3. Whether the applicant's site is well suited for the development of affordable housing, taking into account the availability of services, proximity to employment opportunities and whether the site is affected by environmental constraints to development or historic preservation concerns. Staff Finding: The site is located in close proximity to existing development, similar affordable housing, and to existing transit. The Buttermilk intersection, when completed, will provide viable access to up- and down -valley transit service in addition to the proposed shuttle service for summer student use. The Pitkin County Airport has "formally objected] to the proposed project." (Please reference the comments from the Airport.) The development is proposed outside of the Runway Protection Zone and in compliance with all local and federal guidelines for development near airports. The current sound levels on -site are approximately 60 dba with no mitigation measures. Normal construction techniques typically reduce this figure by 18-20 dba and the proposed berm is expected to reduce this figure by approximately staff comments page 1 5-10 dba, depending on the exact location within the development. The expected resulting sound level will be below the recommended 65 dba outdoors and 45 dba indoors. Staff believes this site is suited for development and is not adversely affected by natural, man-made, or historic constraints. 4. Whether the method proposed will result in employee housing being produced prior to or at the same time the impacts of the development will be experienced by the community. Staff Finding: The project is 100% affordable and is not iAresponse to other growth impacts. S. Whether the development itself requires the provision of affordable housing on -site to meet its service needs. Staff Finding: The application does include one manager's apartment to house an on -site employee. This unit is necessary to accommodate the day-to-day management, maintenance, and service needs of the project and its residents. Upon consultation of the Housing Authority and their experience with the Marolt seasonal housing project, staff believes this unit is sufficient to accommodate the demands of the project. The proposed development shall be consistent with the Aspen Area Community Plan (requirement of PUD and Subdivision). Staff Finding: Community Vision: The proposed development increases housing opportunities for seasonal workers in a location close to town and transit, and within a short commute. Compact development around transit stops is consistent with the community's desire to efficiently use a limited land supply in an efficient manner. Community Vitality: The proposed development is 100% affordable, addressing the community's desire to provide affordable housing opportunities. The seasonal rental units will help the local economy and local employers. The additional, and permanent, housing opportunity for the Music Festival students will help ensure that this symbol of modern Aspen will continue with greater self-sufficiency. Open Space and Environment: While the proposed development would take place on an area that is undeveloped, it is compact, clustered, and provides a significant amount of density within walking distance to reliable transit. This allows for the preservation of open space on parcels with greater open space value, less adequate for this type of development. staff comments page 2 AACP: The proposed development site is not specifically identified in the 1993 Community Plan. Nevertheless, two sites which provide some guidance for this parcel were identified with the following recommendations: The Zoline parcel: 1 ("great" rating), deed restricted lots via the growth management process. If this property ever submits a growth management application for development this would be an appropriate location for deed restricted lots. Pfister (Maroon Creek Club AH): 2 ("good" rating), if in the event the Development Corporation cannot put the 39 deed restricted units in the location as approved at the intersection of Stage Road and Highway 82, the location should be re-evaluated and perhaps units should be dispersed throughout the property in a less -dense manner. The Zoline parcel is somewhat removed from this specific parcel and has more relevance on the possible "Burlingame Village" project. The Pfister parcel (Maroon Creek Club) was developed in the original development pattern (not re-evaluated). The affordable housing units were a mitigation requirement by the County and the property is now within the City of Aspen. The draft update of the community plan (the 1998 AACP) specifically identifies the Seasonal project as a location to concentrate affordable housing efforts. It is important to note that the 1998 plan is a draft plan, has not been adopted, and has no binding effect. Following are statements relevant to this project from the draft AACP: ■ ". . . we again call for a critical mass of permanent residents and employees to be housed within the urban area. Our goal is to reverse the tide and bring back the ebbing balance of our community/resort." Excerpt from Managing Growth Philosophy. ■ "We should discourage sprawl and recognize its cost to the character of our community, our open spaces, and our rural resources." Excerpt from Managing Growth Philosophy. ■ "To conserve our rural resources, we recommend that an Aspen Community Boundary be identified... A Community Growth Boundary will focus and reduce infrastructure expenditures, reduce the spread of development into the countryside and maintain a rural character between communities, while at the same time promoting concentrations of staff comments page 3 development supportive of transit and pedestrian accessibility." Excerpt from Managing Growth Philosophy. ■ "Local and regional land use and development patterns should enable and support travel by alternative modes of transportation. New development should take place only in areas well served by transit, and only in compact, mixed -use patterns that are conducive to walking and bicycling." Excerpt from Transportation Philosophy. ■ "We still believe that a `critical mass' of local working residents is needed to sustain our economy." Excerpt from Affordable Housing Philosophy. ■ "Housing sites should be rated with emphasis placed on living within walking distance of transit, employment areas and social connections." Excerpt from Affordable Housing Philosophy. 1_1 ■ "Development of affordable housing within the traditional town site should be encouraged so as to protect our open and rural lands." Excerpt from Affordable Housing Philosophy. ■ "Evaluate opportunities for publicly held properties to be developed or redeveloped to include or be replaced by affordable housing. The public holds properties that could be redeveloped with affordable housing without impeding the existing use. These parcels should be evaluated for their qualities as affordable housing sites and their ability to contribute to our town's affordable housing dilemma without .consuming our valuable rural lands or open space." Excerpt from Affordable Housing Action Plan. Staff believes the proposed development plan and this zoning is consistent with the AACP. The parcel is virtually identical to the Maroon Creek Club Affordable Housing site and both the Housing and Growth sections of the revised AACP (under review and not adopted) depict this parcel as a site for affordable housing. staff comments page 4 TO: FROM: DATE: RE: MEMORANDUM Chris Bendon, Community Development Dept. Cindy Christensen, Housing Office May 18, 1999 BURLINGAME SEASONAL HOUSING FINAL PUD & SUBDIVISION Parcel ID No. REQUEST: The applicant is requesting approval for a 200-bed seasonal residential project proposed for an approximately 3.92 acre parcel known as Parcel B, Burlingame Ranch. BACKGROUND: The applicant reviewed the proposal with the Housing Board on June 2, 1999. The Board was very pleased with what was being presented. RECOMMENDATION: The Housing Board recommends approval with the following conditions: 1. That at least two of the buildings be converted to one -bedroom, long-term units, with the possibility of a third building. If a third building is included, the Board is willing to review the possibility of master leasing a few of the units to the MAA or possibly some other. entity. If master leasing is allowed, the other entity should be required to buy into that unit or units at 100% to allow a unit to be tied to a specific employer. 2. The rents for the seasonal units go no higher than $350 per bedroom and go no higher than $700 for the one -bedroom units. This relates to the mid -point of Category 2. 3. The Board was not unanimous regarding the parking for this project. However, the Board did feel it was a good idea to provide less amount of parking, with the ability to expand at a later date. The Board also recommends reviewing ways to provide incentives for not using cars and disincentives for using the cars. 4. A deed restriction shall be recorded prior to building permit approval. 5. A site visit shall be done by staff prior to Certificate of Occupancy. Veferranbuding.mit MEMORANDUM To: Chris Bendon, Planner Thru: Nick Adeh, City Engineer From: Chuck Roth, Project E ineer I Date: May 21, 1999 Re: Burlingame Seasonal Housing — Final P.U.D. 1999 The Development Review Committee has reviewed the above referenced application at their May 5, 1999 meeting, and we have the following comments: General — (1) These comments are based on the fact that we believe that the submitted site plan is accurate, that it shows all site features, and that it is feasible. The wording must be carried forward exactly as written unless prior consent is received from the Engineering Department. This is to halt complaints related to approvals tied to "issuance of building permit." (2) If there are any encroachments into the public right-of- way, the encroachment must either be removed or be subject to current encroachment license requirements. 1. P.U.D. Plat — a. Revise certificate of ownership to include Mayor's signature for City as owner and attestation by City Clerk. Also include in dedication language to re -dedicate public rights -of -way as shown. b. Lot 2 must be fully monumented before final plat approval and so indicated on the final plat sheet titled "Detailed Plat". This sheet would also show any easements dedicated to utilities for primary facilities, including transformers and switch gear as well as line extensions. Easements are not required for service lines. c. §26.88.040.D.2.a(1) specifies the size of unencumbered margins for each plat sheet. It is preferable to have borders drawn on each sheet at those dimensions in order to ensure this section. d. The drainage plan sheet needs to be sealed and signed by an engineer registered to practice in the State of Colorado. . e. The boundary plat needs to indicate the "Old" Stage Road public right-of-way. f. There are various blanks in the submitted plat that need to be filled in for the final plat. g. Indicate the property zone district. Complete the basis of bearings statement. 1 h. Refer to §26.88.040.D.1 and 2 for plat requirements. The vicinity map needs to appear on the first sheet. Show the City limit line. The word "Aspen" is illegible due to the street grid. i. On sheet 2, the line symbology is unclear and inconsistent. As of this writing, the Burlingame Annexation is in effect. Indicate adjacent subdivisions with dotted lines of abutting lots or indicate if adjoining land is unplatted. Beneath the Lot 1 and Lot 2 labels, indicate the area to the nearest 0.001 acres. 2. Parking — Because the project is a planned unit development, the number of parking spaces is determined based on the specific project. The Engineering Department has no comment for this application concerning parking requirements, except no part of public right-of-way shall be considered as exclusive parking space to serve this development. 3. Site Drainage - The site development approvals need to include the requirement of meeting runoff design standards of the Land Use Code at Sec. 26.88.040.C.4.f and Engineering Department's interim design and construction standards. The final plat should include drainage mitigation plan (24"x36" size plan sheet or on the lot grading plan), as well as a temporary sediment control and containment plan for the construction phase. These and a report must be signed and stamped by an engineer registered in the State of Colorado. The drainage plan must be reviewed and accepted by the City Engineer prior to issuance of building permit and signing the final plat. 4. Trash & Utilities - All utility meters and any new utility pedestals or transformers must be installed on the applicant's property and not in the public right-of-way. For pedestals and transformers, easements must be provided and should be indicated on the final plat. Meter locations must be accessible for reading and may not be obstructed by trash storage. Any units that may be condominiumized must have separate utility service connections and meters. The applicant indicated that existing overhead utilities along the southwesterly property will be ✓ undergrounded in conjunction with the proposed development. This is consistent with other developments in the City. 5. Fire Protection District— The following are the comments from the conceptual review: "Various fire protection details are not yet clear on the draft plat and need to be remedied for the final plat. ' These will relate .to access around the perimeter, hose lengths, hydrant locations, sprinklering, turning radii, turn arounds. Any gates across emergency access routes must be locked with Knox box or lock. "Emergency access width is required to be 20 feet and to be maintained and drivable, free of snow and obstructions, on a year round basis. This should be documented in the project approvals, subdivision improvements agreement and any other agreements, such as declarations or covenants, that may be drafted for the project." The final plat is not clear on these fire protection details. There should be -a specific sheet in the final plat titled "Fire Protection Plan" with the signature block for the Fire Marshal on that sheet. There was discussion if there should be an activated fire system in place when the pre -fabricated buildings arrive. The Fire Marshal replied that the issue would be addressed at the time of building permit application. N 6. City Water Department — The concern was renewed about the number and space requirements of backflow preventers. The applicant's water engineer will work with the City Water Department on design details. 7. Aspen Consolidated Sanitation District — The utility plan does not contain enough detail for sanitary sewer. There should be a separate sheet with the approval certificate thereon. The applicant needs to initiate a line extension request and a collection agreement in a timely manner to avoid project delays. 8. Parks Department — It is preferable that temporary access to the site not cross a trail. There was discussion about the applicant constructing trail sections which could allow for a reduction of park dedication fees. [Engineering comment: Note that developments are generally required to construct sidewalk, curb and gutter in adjacent public rights -of -way. This needs to be balanced with trail construction costs.] The Parks Department agrees with the proposed dedication fee, but it must be approved by Council. The trail needs to be protected from having highway snow plowed onto it 9. Environmental Health — (a) Replacement traffic mitigation measures are needed. (b) The City Attorney is researching the legality of using washing machine gray water for irrigation. (c) As provided for by the newly enacted ordinance, the dumpsters or enclosures need to be bear -proof. �� 10. Snow Storage - The applicant needs to designate snow storage areas on the final PUD site plan. 11. Improvement Districts - The applicant should be required to agree to join any improvement districts that are formed for the purpose of constructing improvements in adjacent public rights -of -way and to provide a signed and notarized agreement with recording fees prior to the final building inspection. 12. Work in the Public Right-of-way - Given the continuous problems of unapproved work and development in public rights -of -way adjacent to private property, we advise the applicant as follows: The applicant must receive approval from city engineering (920-5080) for design of improvements, including landscaping, within public rights -of -way, parks department (920-5120) for vegetation species, and streets department (920-5130) for mailboxes , street and alley cuts,'and shall obtain permits for any work or development, including landscaping, within public rights -of -way from the city community development department. DRC Meeting Attendees Staff: Torn Bracewell, Ed VanWalraven, Chris Bendon, Cindy Christensen, Lee Cassin, Phil Overeynder, John Krueger, Rebecca Schickling, StephanieLevesque, Chuck Roth Applicant's representatives: Jim Curtis, Michael Hassig, Julia Marshall, Eric Hendricks 99M59 3 M �IURINM'slim TO: Chris Bendon FROM: Sara Thomas, City Zoning Officer RE: Zoning Analysis for Burlingame Seasonal Housing Final PUD & Subdivision DATE: May 18, 1999 VARIANCES: The Burlingame Seasonal Housing proposal appears to comply with the R/MFA zone district dimensional requirements with the exception of setback and open space criteria. Floor area calculations were not verified at this time as the drawings included in the application packet do not contain adequate detail for this level of review. All dimensional requirements will be re -verified at time of building permit submittal. Section 26.04.100 'Yards (A)(5)(6) of the Municipal Land Use Code permits uncovered slabs which do not exceed thirty inches (30") above or below natural grade to project into the required setbacks without restriction. The proposed access roadway will be requiring a cut in excess of 30" within the front and side yard setbacks. In addition, only fences, hedges and walls that are less than six feet (6') in height, as measured from natural grade, are permitted within setback areas. There are two retaining walls indicated on the Site Development Plan in excess of six feet in height within the required rear and side yard setbacks. Section 26.04.100 Open.Space (E) of the Municipal Land Use Code excludes from open space calculations areas more than four (4) feet above, or two (2) feet below the existing grade of the street which abuts the open space. Due to the proposed significant regarding of the parcel , the entire parcel does not technically meet the open space criteria. PUD variances for open space and setbacks will be required in order to address these issues. IMPACT FEES: 1. A Park Development Impact Fee is assessed on all development in the City of Aspen that creates additional bedrooms in residential dwellings. The fee is based on the number of bedrooms per dwelling unit and is assessed as follows: Studio: $1,520.00 per unit One -bedroom: $2,120.00 per unit Two -bedroom: $2,725.00 per unit Three bedroom or larger: $3,634.00 per unit The proposed units are configured as two bedroom units and would therefore be assessed at $2,725.00 per unit, $275,225 total for the 101 units. Section 26.44.060 permits the applicant to request city council to reduce or waive this fee for development of affordable housing. 2. School Land Dedication Standards apply to all new subdivisions within the City of Aspen which contain residential units. The land dedication is assessed based on the unit type and may be provided either with a land dedication to the city or by making a cash payment in lieu to the city. The applicant is requesting that the city make a determination that the proposed seasonal housing units are dormitories, thereby exempting the project from the land dedication standard. A dwelling unit is defined by the Land Use Code as: a separately enterable, self- sufcient room or combination of rooms which contain kitchen and bath facilities and which are designedfor or used as a residence by a single family or guests, independent of other families or guests. A dormitory is defined as: a structure or portion thereof under single management that provides group sleeping accommodations for guests or residents in one or more rooms for compensation. Occupancy of a dormitory unit shall be limited to no more than eight persons. Each unit shall provide a minimum of one hundred fifty (1 5 0) square feet per person of net living area, including sleeping, bathroom, cooking and lounge used in common. The proposed units are configured to be self sufficient, separately enterable and may be used independently. They each contain their own kitchen and bath facilities and do not offer facilities which are common to all residents. The units clearly meet the definition of dwelling unit and do not comply with the standards applicable to dormitory units as defined by the Land Use Code. ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH MEMORANDUM To: Chris Bendon, Community Development Department From: Lee Cassin , Environmental Health Department Date: May 19,1999 Re: Burlingame Seasonal Housing — Final PUD and Subdivision PID # 2735-023 The Aspen/Pitkin Environmental Health Department has reviewed the land use submittal under authority of the Municipal Code of the City of Aspen, and has the following comments, which are in addition to the comments made during the conceptual review. SEWAGE TREATMENT AND COLLECTION: Section 11-1.7 : "It shall be unlawful for the owner or occupant of any building used for residence or business purposes within the city to construct or reconstruct an on -site sewage disposal device." The plans to provide sewage disposal for this project through the central collection lines of the Aspen Consolidated Sanitation District (ACSD) meet the requirements of this department. The applicant would like to use the wastewater from the washing machines to irrigate either berms or common areas or both. From a resource and environmental point of view, this would be a very beneficial process, since water consumption would be greatly reduced and it would not be necessary to.use treated water for irrigation, which requires chemicals and energy to produce. Unfortunately, state regulations effectively prohibit use of gray water for irrigation. However, state regulations DO allow drip irrigation systems for disposal of sewage. We would like to work with the applicant to see if such a system can be installed for the washing machine waste. This does not need to be resolved for approval, since if it is not feasible, the applicant can connect the washing machines to the sanitary sewer lines. ADEQUATE PROVISIONS FOR WATER NEEDS: Section 23-55: "All buildings, structures, facilities, parks, or the like within the city limits which use water shall be connected to the municipal water utility system." The provision of potable water from the City of Aspen system is consistent with Environmental Health policies ensuring the supply of safe water. The City of Aspen water supply meets all standards of the Colorado Department of Health for drinking water quality. There are no additional conditions. WATER QUALITY IMPACTS: Section 11-1.3: "For the purpose of maintaining and protecting its municipal water supply from injury and pollution, the city shall exercise regulatory and supervisory jurisdiction within the incorporated limits of the City of Aspen and over all streams and sources contributing to municipal water supplies for a distance of five (5) miles above the points from which municipal water supplies are diverted." A drainage plan to mitigate the water quality impacts from drive and parking areas will be evaluated by the City Engineer. This application is not expected to impact down stream water quality. AIR QUALITY: Sections 11-2.1: "It is the purpose of (the air quality section of the Municipal Code] to achieve the maximum practical degree of air purity possible by requiring the use of all available practical methods and techniques to control, prevent and reduce air pollution throughout the city..." The Land Use Regulations seek to "lessen congestion" and "avoid transportation demands that cannot be met" as well as to "provide clean air by protecting the natural air sheds and reducing pollutants". The municipal code requires developments to achieve the maximum practical degree of air purity by using all available practical methods to reduce pollution and utilize automobile disincentive measures. Using the Institute of Transportation Engineers Trip Generation Report, Sixth Edition, approximately 446 trips per day would be generated by the proposed project. The applicant has proposed a number of measures that have the potential to successfully reduce automobile use. This department agrees that eventually this project will be transit -oriented when the pedestrian underpass at the Old Stage Road area and the signalized crosswalk for pedestrians at Buttermilk are constructed. These two features will enable pedestrians to cross the highway safely to access bus service into town. However, at this time the dates for construction of the underpass and the signalized intersection are not certain and will likely not be in place when the development is completed. If residents have to cross Highway 82 at this location to catch a bus, especially when it is icy, a very large disincentive for bus use exists. To allow access to town without use of cars, the applicant has agreed to provide a shuttle bus service if the project is ready for occupancy before the traffic light and underpass are completed "to ensure that residents will be able to safely cross SH 82. This shuttle bus will operate until there is safe crossing infrastructure across SH 82, including off-seasons." It will operate in the summer and in the winter. This safe crossing infrastructure needs to a include the traffic light and crosswalk in the middle of the site, and the underpass at the NW end of the project but as close to the middle of the site as possible. In addition, we support the recommendations made by the Transportation and Parking Department. In particular, Parking Plan A would reduce trips much more effectively than would Parking Plan B. It also should be more convenient for residents to walk to the bus stop or bike path than to their parking area. An effective pedestrian refuge is crucial at the crosswalk area. The underpass should be as far to the east as possible. If people have to walk a few 2 hundred feet to a bus stop and then wait, compared to having much easier access to their cars, there is a significant disincentive for bus use, especially from October through April: A condition of approval should also be that a connecting trail be constructed between the underpass and Buttermilk. We also recommend that the applicant make every attempt to place the bicycle parking spaces in areas that will be covered. This could include bike hanging hooks, or putting the posts or racks under overhangs. This will make people more likely to use their bikes, since they will not be damaged or in need of maintenance due to exposure to rain and snow. Finally, we recommend that the conditions of approval include the strategies to which the .� applicant committed earlier. FUGITIVE DUST As described in our earlier comments, a fugitive dust control plan is required. It must include, but is not limited to fencing, watering of haul roads and disturbed areas, daily or more frequent cleaning of adjacent paved roads to remove mud that has been carried out, speed limits, or other measures necessary to prevent windblown dust from crossing the property line or causing a nuisance. Dust control will be crucial -for this project due to its proximity to SH 82, the Maroon Creek Club and residences. NOISE ABATEMENT: Section 16-1: "The city council finds and declares that noise is a significant source of environmental pollution that represents a present and increasing threat to the public peace and to the health, safety and welfare of the residents of the City of Aspen and it its visitors ...... Accordingly, it is the policy of council to provide standards for permissible noise levels in various areas and manners and at various times and to prohibit noise in excess of those levels." During construction, noise can not exceed maximum permissible sound level standards, and construction cannot be done except between the hours of 7 a.m. and 10 p.m. By the time construction begins on this project, the City's noise law will have been revised to allow construction to continue only until 7 PM, and not to occur on Sundays. We would recommend these hours in any case for this project, given its proximity to neighbors. We recommend that the applicant notify neighbors who might be affected, before any time when there will be especially loud noise from the construction. 3 ME.4I0RAND UYI TO: CRIS BENDON, COM11UNITYDEVELOPMENT FROM: TIMANDERSON, RECREATION DIRECTOR DATE: MAY 19, 1999 RE: PARKING FOR SEASONAL HOUSING' Summary: In discussions with Lee Novak of the housing authority and Jim Curtis of Curtis & Associates, the golf course has agreed to the use of up to 80 parking spaces for seasonal housing. These 80 spaces would be used by seasonal housing only during the winter months. The seasonal housing will be required to cordon off the spaces and gate the access as to provide control of the area and assure the space is utilized for seasonal housing only. The remaining 40 spaces will be maintained by the golf course for the purpose of Cross Country Skiing guests. The seasonal housing will be paying the golf course for the use of these parking spaces over the winter months. Other Considerations: The gates and security improvements will be removed following winter so that parking lot may serve both the golf course and the tennis complex to be constructed. Currently a taxi service utilizes the parking lot for their winter storage of vehicles. This service is no longer going to do so and the seasonal housing will simply replace existing winter parking. In fact with the winter improvements the seasonal housing is proposing I believe the lot will be better maintained and regulated through the winter months than it is currently. In short this scenario should be a win win situation for both the golf course and seasonal housing while creating literally no more impact than that which is felt currently. IARING FORK TRANSIT AGENCY PEN, COLORADO To: Chris Bendon, Community Development Depart ent From: Mike Davis, Roaring Fork Transit Agency CQ Jim Curtis, Project Manager Date: 05/19/99 Re: Burlingame Seasonal Housing Final PUD & Subdivision Summer Transit Service Alternative transportation issues for Burlingame Seasonal Housing were discussed in a memo dated December 11, 1998 by Claude Morelli and Mike Davis. This memo analyzed extending the existing MAA buses to serve Burlingame. This scenario was found to cause a reduction in service which in turn, reduced transit passengers. After meeting with the MAA recently, a better transit solution was discussed. This included keeping the existing MAA bus system, adding a new route which would travel between Burlingame and Campus, and adding a route from Burlingame to the music tent for concerts on Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays. (See Figure A.) The route from Burlingame to Campus would run between 7:00 A.M. and 11:00 P.M. on a headway of 30 minutes (frequency of 30 minutes). Using RFTA's service Analysis Form, this service would require 2.3 buses and 6 drivers for an annual operating cost of $94,788 in 1999 dollars (See Attachment A). Capital costs were estimated to be $115,693 ($11,390 annually.) Service from Burlingame to the concerts on Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays would depend on driver availability. If RFTA can provide this service the cost could be around $5,350 annually depending on the number of concerts. (See attached Table A.) 0 Page 1 The bus scenario, previously described, should be able to achieve high transit ridership. RFTA has estimated that the development will average 224 one-way transit trips per day if the same level of transit service currently provided to MAA students is provided to Burlingame students. (See Table B) Winter Transit Service RFTA has estimated that ridership for Burlingame winter and off-season service will range from 151 a day during January to four a day during May with the winter average being 143 passengers a day. This ridership was calculated by comparing the land use quantities of Burlingame to the land use quantities of Aspen (See Table C). RFTA realizes that this ridership estimation is low since the Burlingame development is entirely employee housing, however, we feel it is a good base from which to estimate costs. The subsidy requirements needed to serve these additional passengers can be calculated by assessing existing subsidy requirements and passenger activity levels. As passenger activity peaks during the winter season, average winter daily transit ridership is a valid measure of passenger activity. In 1998, RFTA's Downvalley services incurred a total operating subsidy requirement (total operating cost minus fare revenues) of $2,887,519. Over the average winter day, the Downvalley service carried 5,825 passenger -trips. Operating subsidy required to operate this service therefore equaled $495.71 per winter daily passenger -trip. Multiplying this figure by the increase in passenger -trips created by MAA Burlingame winter service, the total impact of the proposed development on operating subsidy needs is estimated to equal $70,886 per year in 1998 dollars. In addition, the increase in ridership associated with the proposal will increase capital costs associated with the Downvalley service. RFTA's projection of capital needs over the next twelve years indicates an annual average capital funding requirement of $2,862,956. However, some of these funds can be expected to be generated from federal transit funding programs; a review of federal capital funding received over the last 10 years indicates an average revenue of $650,000. The difference of $2,212,956 represents the local funding required for RFTA capital needs. An equitable way of allocating capital costs to the Downvalley service is by the proportion of annual vehicle -hours of service. The Downvalley services currently comprise 54.27 percent of all RFTA services. Using this proportion, the estimated local capital subsidy required for RFTA equals $1,200,979, or $206.18 per winter daily rider. Multiplying this latter figure by the number of additional daily riders generated by the proposed development and a capital impact of $29,484 per year is identified. • Page 2 Conclusion Summer service as described in this memo would require 2.3 additional buses and 6 drivers to operate at a cost of $94,788 per year, not including concert runs. Since RFTA does not have adequate resources to ran this service, RFTA will need an annual payment of $94,788 from the developer before services can be provided. In addition, the capital costs associated with this service will be $115,000 ($11,390 annually). RFTA is interested in receiving housing units as part of the mitigation for capital costs. Winter and off-season transit service for Burlingame will add additional riders onto the valley bus service requiring and estimated annual subsidy of $71,000 for operating costs and $29,484 for capital costs. RFTA feels these costs should be mitigated for by the developer. Again, RFTA is interested in receiving housing units as part of the mitigation for the capital costs. • Page 3 ROARING FORK TRANSIT AGENCY Attachment tt a c h m e n t w ASPEN, COLORADO H LL��1 SERVICE CHANGE ANALYSIS FOR 1999 Planner Mike Davis Hours of Service 7:00 A.M. to 11:00 P.M.

Application and offers the following comments: It appears that several concerns and requirements as noted in past comments from the airport has either been omitted or not considered in the Final P.U.D. Application. I reiterate the following comments and concerns: 1. Noise impacts from arriving and departing aircraft will be significant. 2. The proposed development lies within the airport high hazard zone. 3. The proposed development is directly adjacent to the Runway Protection Zone. Each of the above listed items is explained in more detail in the attached documents. The documents attached are comments and concerns, dated January 19, 1998 and November 27,1998, of the Burlingame Seasonal Housing development from the airport as solicited by Community Development. In addition to the comments above, it is required by the airport and subsequently Pitkin County that the sponsor of the development execute an avigation easement. Again, this requirement is absent from the language in the final application. Lastly, the proximity and location to the airport combined with the intended utilization of the proposed development does not adhere to the principles of compatible land use. As a *7 result, the airport staff does formally object to the proposed project. t DATE: November 27, 1998 To: Aspen Community Development Department Aspen City Council, Pitkin County Board of County Commissioners FROM: Scott Smith, Pitkin County Director of Aviation j RE: Conceptual PUD Application, Burlingame Seasonal Housing CC: Suzanne Konchan, County Manager I have again reviewed the above referenced project, .and notwithstanding the airport's previous review memorandums dated July 25, 1997 and January 19, 1998, offer the following concerns: 1. Construction on this parcel will require submission of FAA Form 7460, Notice of Construction or Alteration, by the applicant. The proper form for the notice has been forwarded to Tom Baker by the airport. 2. Due to the reality of airport noise impacts on the proposed development, I continue to strongly recommend that construction standards be implemented which will result in a exterior/interior noise reduction of 30 dBA for the sake of the future residents in these buildings. Materials detailing the additional standards necessary to achieve this reduction are available to the applicant from the airport and from the applicant's own resources. 3. An avigation easement should be executed with the County before the development takes place. A current avigation easement with exhibits has been forwarded to Mr. Baker, 3. The runway protection zone (RPZ) for runway 33 extends approximately 100 - 150 ` beyond highway 82 from the airport into this parcel. I recommend that no development take place on that portion of the property that lies within the RPZ, with the exception of the construction of a landform berm and the proposed pedestrian underpass. M E M 0 R A N D U M DATE: January 19, 1998 To: Aspen City Council; Dave Tolen; Jim Curtis •----- it FROM: Scott Smith, Director of Aviation RE: Burlingame Ranch, Parcel "B", Potential Airport Impacts on Affordable Housing Project CC: Suzanne Konchan, County Manager I have again reviewed the above referenced project, and offer the following concerns: 1. Single -event noise impacts from Stage 2 aircraft departures will be significant (85-90 dBA). For comparison, a 90 dBA event is similar to the sound level of a motorcycle at a distance of 25 feet. Airport statistics indicate that the property is subject to 850 -1,000 Stage 2 departures annually. Compatible land use around airports is defined by the local community, and this definition usually places noise tolerant uses closer to flight paths than noise sensitive ones. Housing is viewed as one of the more sensitive uses. Airport staff strongly recommends that housing not be located on this parcel. 2. The property lies within the airport high hazard zone, defined as a zone within which encompasses the majority of flight paths/patterns used at the airport which subjects the property to flight hazards. 3. The runway protection zone (RPZ) for runway 33 extends approximately 100 - 150 ' beyond highway 82 from the airport into this parcel. This places proposed development directly adjacent to the RPZ. The RPZ is an area created for "the protection of persons and property on the ground". The airport questions the appropriateness of placing housing directly adjacent to the RPZ. 4. In addition to potential problems of development on this parcel related to dust, smoke, glare, radio magnetic interference and lighting, any future improvements related to Stage Road intersection will create potential for lighting issues with airport operations. It is the. airport's recommendation that Parcel "B" be withdrawn from consideration for housing development and that other parcels ("D", "A") which are more suitably located for airport operations be considered for housing development.

Galena Aspen, CO 81611 Re: Burlingame Final PITD Dear Chris: The Burlingame Seasonal Housing project is located within the District's service area. The application proposes two short line extensions in order to provide service to this area. A line extension request and collection system agreement will be required and -must be approved by our Board of Directors. Both forms are available at our District office. Shared service line agreements will be required if individual buildings containing multiple units are served by a single service line. The detailed on -site collection system plan will need to be. reviewed and approved by our engineers once it becomes available. We would also like to review the detailed landscape, irrigation, and drainage plans to ensure compliance with the District's regulations. Treatment facility capacity is currently available but collection system capacity will need to be reviewed through a downstream flow study. If downstream constraints exist then they would be eliminated through a system of proportionate additional fees. The total connection fees for the project can be estimated when the detailed plans are approved, and tap permit is completed at our office. We would request that all of the total connection fees be paid prior to the issuance of building permits. " As usual, service is contingent upon compliance with the District's rules, regulations, and specifications which are on file at the District office. Sincerely, Bruce Matherly District Manager 565 N. Mill S t.,Aspen, CO 81611 / (970)925-3601 / FAX (970) 925-2537 MEMORANDUM TO: Chris Bendon, Community Planner FROM: Claude Morelli, Transportation Planner DATE: 14 May 1999 RE: Burlingame Seasonal Housing -- Final PUD & Subdivision This memorandum responds to your request for referral agency comments on the final' application for the Burlingame Seasonal Housing PUD. The Transportation and Parking Department's recommendations regarding this project are as follows: 1. Transportation & Parking Department staff strongly prefers parking Plan "A" to Parking Plan "B". Plan "A" offers much greater potential for project residents to choose alternative travel modes over driving alone. Research on travel behavior shows a strong positive correlation between the availability of automobiles and the number of "solo" trips made by car. Separation of a residence from its parking effectively reduces automobile availability for most types of trips. 2. Pedestrian connections between the housing units and the "trail head" for access to the Highway 82 bus stops are not sufficiently clear, distinct and safe to promote high rates of transit use. Ironically, this is in stark contrast to connections between the housing units and the parking area. Our interpretation of the"Site Development Plan - Technical" is that pedestrian access to the Highway 82 bus stops would require cutting through the circular drive just south of the Commons Building. This creates an unacceptable conflict between pedestrians, automobiles and the MAA shuttle buses. Pedestrian paths between the Highway 82 bus stops and housing units in the proposed development should be uninterrupted, pleasant, and easy to navigate and use. At a minimum, a curbed sidewalk at least six feet wide should be provided along the edge of the circular drive. 3. Access between the housing units and the parking need not be direct. The area between the parking lot and the common area needs to be appropriately landscaped. Thus, the northernmost pedestrian connection between the housing and the parking lot should be eliminated, and some sort of low fence or low vegetation provided to separate the parking lot from the common area (while continuing to keep the parking lot visible to residents for safety and security purposes). 4. The intersection of the pedestrian trail leading to the Highway 82 bus stops and the BUR-REF2 Page 1 of 2 driveway leading to the parking area should be designed to ensure safety and give priority to pedestrians. For example, the intersection could be designed as a raised crosswalk with flared curbs on both sides to slow motorists. 5. The title of and all references to "Parking Management Plan" in the application (especially on pages 8 and 9) should be changed to "Transportation and Parking Management Plan." 6. Item 97 in the list of transportation management techniques shown on pages 8 and 9 should be amended as follows: `Bicycles will be made available for free to project residents on a `use and return' basis or other system. Such system will be monitored closely and adjusted periodically (if need be) by the Property Manager working in close consultation with Transportation & Parking Department staff." 7. Add a new item to the list: "At least two secure bicycle parking spaces (e.g., ribbon racks, lean posts, bike hanging hooks, etc.) will be provided close to the front door of , every unit in the project. At least eight `visitor' bicycle parking spaces will also be made available near the entrance to the Commons Building." 8. Add a new item to the list: "As a means of monitoring and evaluating the Transportation and Parking Management Plan, the property manager will cooperate with Transportation & Parking Department staff to conduct summer and winter surveys of resident travel patterns and preferences." 9. Add a new item to the list: "The project manager will ensure that all residents periodically receive updated transportation options information from the City Transportation & Parking Department. Means of distributing the information may include mailbox inserts, bulletin boards, outdoor signs, etc." 10. Add a new item to the list: "All project residents will receive one taxi voucher per month for shopping travel. The cost of the voucher will be included in the rent."

Burlingame Seasonal Housing Final PUD & Subdivision Dear Chris: 0233 East Airport Road Aspen, Colorado 81 61 1 970/920-5384 FAX 970/920-5378 RECEIVED J u N 1 5 1999 ASPEN / s-'iTKIIJ iP�IIT`d DEVFLOPKAFNi'r Thank you for allowing the Aspen/Pitkin Count Airport this opportunity to submit comments regarding the above mentioned project. As you are aware, the Airport has submitted numerous written and verbal comments regarding this development over the past two years. Our position and concern with the residential units being located in close proximity to the runway and runway protection zone, RPZ, are on record with the City. I have attached copies of earlier correspondence regarding this project for your information. I would like to reiterate the following comments that the airport feels should be included as conditions for annroval. It is our opinion that following these suggestions will help mitigate adverse impacts on the inhabitants from aircraft noise exposures. Except for condition #4, all of these items have been previously suggested. I feel condition #4 is a good suggestion because it will serve to advise people, prior to their moving in, that the airport is in close proximity and may cause adverse effects, such as noise. This notification helps advise the public and can also provide some liability protection for the City and County. 1. The property owner will execute and record a standard form avigation easement over the entire development. This document will be recorded in the County records. The airport's standard form easement agreement has been supplied to City representatives and it is our understanding that this condition is acceptable. 2. Construction materials and techniques will be employed to prevent and protect airport users against problems of dust, smoke, glare, radio magnetic interference and light and any other potential problems that could affect the navigation of aircraft arriving and departing the airport. 3. Utilization of appropriate construction materials, products, techniques and landscaping will be used that reduces the interior decibel sound levels to a level that is acceptable or in conformance with local, state or federal rules and guidelines. The airport will assist the City in this goal by providing available studies that Chris B endon June 15,1999 Page 2 forecast future airport growth, fleet mix, current and future noise curves/footprints and any other data that might be of use. The City should analyze the noise impacts of future airport conditions and factor this information into a noise mitigation plan. 4. A public disclosure form should be developed that clearly advises all inhabitants of the housing project that the airport is in close proximity ' and might have varying degrees of effect on the property. This disclosure should be signed . prior to anyone moving in. The airport will assist in preparation of this document, if so desired. 5. The airport would appreciate the opportunity to review and comment on the specific site development plans prior to construction. Please advise me if you have any questions concerning these comments or if you would like to discuss them further. Thank you again for allowing us this opportunity Sincerely, David C. Gordon E. Interim Airport Dire for cc: Suzanne Konchan Jim Curtis M E M O R A N D U M DATE: February .18, 1999 TO: BOCC, Aspen City Council THROUGH: Suzanne Konchan FROM: Scott Smith, Director of Aviation`. RE: FAA Objection to MAA Seasonal. Housing Site This memo is to inform you that the Denver Airports District Office of the FAA, in response to the filed "Notice of Construction or Alteration" for the above referenced project, is recommending to the FAA regional office that the FAA file an objection to this project. Said objection will be based on several issues, as follows: 1. NOISE: Residential land use is generally noise sensitive. The site lies just outside of the 60 dNL noise exposure contour. As such, it is considered compatible with airport operations under normal as well as County -adopted guidelines. However, future increases in air traffic may result in the 60 dNL contour moving farther out from the airport, potentially placing the site within the 60-65 dNL contour (marginally compatible with airport operations) or even within the 65 dNL contour (incompatible). If this were to happen, based on a filed objection from FAA, the County would not be able to secure future FAA funds for noise mitigation projects such as property purchase or soundproofing, related to this site. The current national noise policy within DOT emphasizes prevention of incompatible uses rather than remediation. 2.. Critical Zone: The structures would be just outside the Runway Protection Zone, which means they are within the Critical Zone as defined by the CO House Bill 1041 Model Land Use Regulations, Chapter 10, Article 10-102(4). The referenced section describes a Critical Zone as "areas 2,000 feet wide extending 5,000 feet horizontally from a point 200 feet from each end of visual runways" (runway "33" is a visual runway). The model regulations describe single family dwellings, mobile homes, multiple family dwellings, dormitories, etc. located within the critical zone as being incompatible with airport operations. pointed out to the FAA representative that 1) the model land use regulations also specify that local governments may wish to designate critical zones with smaller boundaries, provided the critical zone is no smaller than the RPZ established by FAA design standards, and 2) the County land use code does not prohibit residential uses in the Critical Zones per se, but rather lists specific prohibited uses/activities, none of which specifically exclude residential uses. Furthermore, in examining the County Land Use Code, I do not find any definition of the size of critical zones, nor do I find any record of the County establishing a critical zone smaller in size that that described in 1041. So what does the filing of an objection really mean? It means that the airport will likely never be eligible for federal funding to soundproof these units in the event that either the existing noise contours move outward or the filing of significant complaints from the residents about noise. M E M O R A N D U M DATE: January 19, 1998 TO: Aspen City Council; Dave Tolen; Jim Curtis FROM: Scott Smith, Director of Aviation RE: Burlingame Ranch, Parcel "B", Potential Airport Impacts on Affordable Housing Project CC: Suzanne Konchan, County Manager have again reviewed the above referenced project, and offer the following concerns: 1. Single -event noise impacts from Stage 2 aircraft departures will be significant (85-90 dBA). For comparison, a 90 dBA event is similar to the sound level of a motorcycle at a distance of 25 feet. Airport statistics indicate that the property is subject to 850 -1,000 Stage 2 departures annually. Compatible land use around airports is defined by the local community, and this definition usually places noise tolerant uses closer to flight paths than noise sensitive ones. Housing is viewed as one of the more sensitive uses. Airport staff strongly recommends that housing not be located on this parcel. 2. The property lies within the airport high hazard zone, defined as a zone within which encompasses the majority of flight paths/patterns used at the airport which subjects the property to flight hazards. 3. The runway protection zone (RPZ) for runway 33 extends approximately 100 - 150 ` beyond highway 82 from the airport into this parcel. This places proposed development directly adjacent to the RPZ. The RPZ is an area created for "the protection of persons and property on the ground". The airport questions the appropriateness of placing housing directly adjacent to the RPZ. 4. In addition to potential problems of development on this parcel related to dust, smoke, glare, radio magnetic interference and lighting, any future improvements related to Stage Road intersection will create potential for lighting issues with airport operations. It is the airport's recommendation that Parcel "B" be withdrawn from consideration for housing development and that other parcels ("D", "A") which are more suitably located for airport operations be considered for housing development. M E M O R A N D U M DATE: November 27, 1998 TO: Aspen Community Development Department Aspen City Council, Pitkin County Board of County Commissioners FROM: Scott Smith, Pitkin County Director of Aviation,``,,r RE: Conceptual PUD Application, Burlingame Seasonal Housing CC: Suzanne Konchan, County Manager I have again reviewed the above referenced project, .and notwithstanding the airport's previous review memorandums dated July 25, 1997 and January 19, 1998, offer the following concerns: 1. Construction on this parcel will require submission of FAA Form 7460, Notice of Construction or Alteration, by the applicant. The proper form for the notice has been forwarded to Tom Baker by the airport. 2. Due to the reality of airport noise impacts on the proposed development, I continue to strongly recommend that construction standards be implemented which will result in a exterior/interior noise reduction of 30 dBA for the sake of the future residents in these buildings. Materials detailing the additional standards necessary to achieve this reduction are available to the applicant from the airport and from the applicant's own resources. 3. An avigation easement should be executed with the County before the development takes place. A current avigation easement with exhibits has been forwarded to Mr. Baker. 3. The runway protection zone (RPZ) for runway 33 extends approximately 100 -150 ` beyond highway 82 from the airport into this parcel. I recommend that no development take place on that portion of the property that lies within the RPZ, with the exception of the construction of a landform berm and the proposed pedestrian underpass.
