City Staff in attendance were: David Hoefer, Assistant City Attorney; Chris Bendon and Mitch Haas, Community Development; Jackie Lothian, Deputy City Clerk. COMMISSIONER~ STAFF AND PUBLIC COMMENTS Jasmine Tygre requested a scroll of recognition for Sara Garton who served as chairperson for the City P&Z. Jackie Lothian noted that City Council would be presenting Sara a proclamation at the next council meeting. The proclamation will be read for Sara at the January 25th Council Meeting. MOTION: Steve Buettow moved to recognize Sara Garton as chairperson of the City Planning and Zoning Commission. Bob Blaich second. Bob Blaich commented on information about the traffic count of 2 million at the Eisenhower Tunnel when it opened and this last year the count was 9.9 million. Jasmine Tygre noted the Roaring Fork Sunday had an article on the growth projections for Rifle to Aspen area and status of various projects. Tygre said that she and Blaich spoke about a rotating chairperson similar to the County P&Z. Ron Erickson stated the chair had a lot of responsibilities attached to it and did not feel it was fair to burden one person with that responsibility. He said that he did not feel that he had been on P&Z long enough to chair a meeting, maybe after four or five years. He suggested an annual chairperson rotation or maximum two years. Erickson proposed the vice-chair would then move up to the chair. He noted if someone did not want to serve as chair, then his or her name would remain at the bottom of the list. He commented that if Sara had only served as chair for two years maybe she would still be on the commission. Roger Hunt said that Sara could have stepped down from the chair at any time. Tygre stated being chair was a valuable experience but did require additional work and required suppressing your own opinion. She said rotating a chair would be a good experience for everyone to gain a better perspective, or term limits. Hunt said he never wanted to serve as chair and being senior officer # 3 in line was fine with him; he would take over when he had to but not on a regular basis. Blaich noted that his feelings were mixed and thought a one-year term with a second year option was a possibility. David Hoefer stated the code called for P&Z to elect a chair in 1 ASPEN PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION JANUARY 05~ 1999 June; therefore the new chair could serve a year and a half. The commission requested a list of commissioners by seniority. ELECTION MOTION: Ron Erickson moved to adopt term limits for the P&Z chairperson and vice-chair of one year. Tim Semrau second. Roll call vote: Buettow, no; Erickson, yes; Blaich, no; Mooney, no; Semrau, yes; Hunt, no; Tygre, yes. FAILED 4-3. MOTION: Bob Blaich moved to have term limits on the P&Z chairperson and vice-chairperson of one year with a one year option, limit of two years served. Erickson second. Roll call vote: Semrau, yes; Mooney, no; Hunt, no; Erickson, yes; Buettow, yes; Blaich, yes; Tygre, yes. PASSED 5-2. MOTION: Tim Mooney nominated Bob Blaich for chairperson. Ron Erickson second.

Bob Blaich was elected City P&Z Chairperson to serve until June, with the option to serve a second term. Jasmine Tygre remained Vice- Chairperson until June. Mitch Haas noted a vacancy (Sara Garton) on the AACP-Oversight Committee. Steve Buettow was a member of that committee; Tim Semrau volunteered to serve on that committee. Haas said there were no real answers on the parking problems. He said there were 2 more P&Z meetings this month; Burlingame 01/12/99 and a regular meeting 01/19/99. Chris Bendon said the applicant had an hour and a half presentation for the Burlingame meeting on 01/12/99, the Burlingame Seasonal Housing. He noted the presentation was split into transportation issues and site planning and architecture. MINUTES MOTION: Roger Hunt moved to adopt the minutes from December 8 and 15, 1998. Jasmine Tygre second. APPROVED 7-0. ASPEN PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION JANUARY 05~ 1999 DISCLOSURE OF CONFLICTS OF INTEREST None. WESTEND PARTNERSHIP - 234 HALLAM~ CONDITIONAL USE 2 ADUs ~WlTHDRAWN~ Chris Bendon stated the applicant withdrew the proposal on 234 Hallam. CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARING (10/06/98, 12/08/98): 126 PARK AVENUE CONDITIONAL USE APPROVAL FOR - ADU & RESIDENTIAL DESIGN WAIVER (one story element) Chris Bendon, staff, noted this was a continued public hearing but the applicant did re-post the notice. David Hoefer, Assistant City attorney, stated that for the record the affidavit provided the jurisdictional requirements to proceed with the public hearing. Bendon stated the property was just under 5,000 square feet with an existing A frame duplex; the ADU was now a one bedroom, over 600 square feet. Staff requested a variance for the one story element because it addressed the standard by adding to the overall design of the building. Bendon noted it was shown on the west street elevation drawing. He explained the over-hang at the garage would meet the standard. Bendon said the light and egress for the ADU have met the criteria and the drawings were provided. Steve Buettow noted there must be a guardrail or grate in order to meet code and a condition should be added. David Muckenhim, architect, replied that the building department did not enforce guardrails or grates and has allowed shrubbery to be placed around window wells. Hoefer advised the board, as a practical matter, to require a guardrail or grate in the conditions of approval. Tim Semrau said the building department's interpretation would determine if it was safe and require a guardrail, grate or shrubs. Arja Adair, applicant, thanked the commission for the input from these last three meetings. Muckenhirn said there was a stacked washer and dryer, the two light wells and the electrical panel all located in the ADU. He said that Arja Adair was committed to renting the ADU without an access door to the main unit. He said the deck above the ADU entrance was a weather deck and would serve as a roof for the 3 ASPEN PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION JANUARY 05~ 1999 snow and rain concerns; the roofs above the window wells will have heat tape and snow stops or snow fences to protect the window wells from filling up with snow. Muckenhirn stated the north space in the driveway was designated for ADU parking with an extra space for the site. No public comment. MOTION: Roger Hunt moved to adopt Resolution 98-40 of both a variance from standard 26.58.040(b)(1) of the Residential Design Standards and for a Conditional Use for an ADU to be located in the Adair duplex, 126 Park Avenue, Aspen, with the following conditions: 1.
