the community development department and directed him to contact Sarah
Oates in that department.
COUNCILMEMBER COMMENTS
1. Mayor Klanderud thanked the Aspen Community Theatre for the
great performance of Mame. Mayor Klanderud noted ACT does a fantastic
2iob every year.
2. Councilwoman Richards said the land and water conservation fund
and the conservation trust fund are being radically cut. Councilwoman
Richards requested staff look into this and prepare a resolution for Council
to send to the congressional staff.
3. Councilman Torre stated the voter mm out in last week's election was
30%. Councilman Torre said he would like Council to schedule a work
session to discuss ways to make local elections more accessible.
4. Councilman Torre said he is working with the Aspen Youth Council
about restarting the group and they will be taking applications.
5. Councilman Torre applauded local fire fighters for the work on the
Snowmass wild fire as well as the 3 who went to California. This was great
outreach from Aspen. Councilman Torre said the recent events reminded
everyone of the kind of work the fire departments do.
6. Steve Barwick, city manager, reminded everyone of the retail meeting
Wednesday, November 12 at 7 a.m. at the Mountain Chalet.
7. Councilman Torre told Council he attended the Red Brick Center
board meeting and he has the agenda, profit and loss statements and an
update of the economic study available for any interested Councilperson.

Regular Meeting Aspen City Council November 10, 2003
Councilman Torre said he will be requesting a work session to study what
kind of marketing effort can be done with the arts groups, the Wheeler fund
and RETT in support of the arts in Aspen. The Red Brick Center has talked
about rejuvenating the Arts Council. Councilman Torre said he and Pat
Fallin will be meeting with the Wheeler Board this week to discuss
preliminary plans.
8. Mayor Klandemd said there is a committee formed, Right Door,
which has evolved from discussions on a detox center. The original task
force decided not to proceed with a detox center because there is one in the
valley. The committee would like to find a safe non-alcoholic place, not
residential, for people to drop in and where there would be staff available for
support. Mayor Klandemd said there will be a proposal or request for
physical location. Mayor Klanderud said at a recent conference for the
recovering community, at least 50 people indicated they would volunteer for
this type of work.

RESOLUTION #101~ SERIE~q OF 2003 - 2004 Budget
Paul Menter, finance director, presented the 2004 budget to Council. Menter
stated this is a sustainable budget across all funds, except transportation,
assuming a sales tax growth rate at the average CPI rate and mitigation
funding for the time share projects are realized. The total budget is $83
million; total revenues are $79 million. Menter noted the revenues are
projected at a 1% increase in sales tax collections over 2002 actual. Menter
Regular Meeting Aspen Ci,ty Council November 10, 2003
pointed out the TABOR excess spending approvals expire in 2005. Staffhas
been directed to present fee increases at an average of 4%.
Issues that staff and Council will continue to look at are the business plan for
the water and electric department, marketing for arts and Wheeler users, the
cable television franchise fee split between Grassroots and KAJX, the
contribution to a June Janus event. The budget contains approval for an
Aspen Institute program coordinator. In transportation, Council agreed to
add back $125,000'of in-town services for 2 years, to fund the car share
program from central savings for 2 years and to look at mall maintenance to
determine actual costs.
In the Kids First budget, increased grants to providers for financial aid and
staff development was approved for one year. On the Entrance to Aspen
landscaping, Council agreed to hold a work session in 2004 to have parks
present options. Council agreed to a formal review of hOusing guidelines
every 3 years. Council agreed the planned subsidy is acceptable for 2004.
The BOCC is concerned about the sustainability of the hOusing operations in
the future.
In supplemental requests, Council approved additional sports events through
the recreation department. Staff will also present plans for additional
services at the ARC. Council agreed staff should analyze purchase versus
leasing new vehicles for the police department for 2005. Menter pointed out
the general fund base operations are flat from 2003. Menter said for open
space acquisitions, $18 million will be available through financing. The
budget contains grants for arts groups of $321,914. The lodging tax
proceeds will be split between ACRA and transportation. Council agreed to
monthly remittances to ACRA.
The water rates have not been increased in over 10 years and the fund is not
sustainable at the current rates. Menter told Council Ruedi is debt free in
2003. Mayor Klanderud said a contribution to Colorado Big Country was
built into Ruedi. Mayor Klanderud said the services of Colorado Big
Country may be redundant with other non-profit work in the valley, like
Roaring Fork Conservancy. Mayor Klanderud said she would like
information on that. Councilman Torre questioned whether money for
Colorado Big Country should come from Ruedi or other city departments.
Randy Ready, assistant city manager, Said ColOrado Big Country may be
funded through RWAPA.

Regular Meeting Aspen Ci,ty Council November 10, 2003
The transportation/parking fund is not sustainable at the currem revenue.
The golf fund has not projected an increase in revenues because the
Snowmass golf club is reopening. There is a projected increase in some
fees, which will help toward the capital replacement reserve fund of $1.2
million in 10 years.
Mayor Klandemd opened the public hearing.
Toni Kronberg noted there is no funding in the 2004 budget for the Rio
Grand master plan. Staff is working on a storm water management plan, and
these plans may reqmre a vote. Ms. Kronberg asked if the parks department
has money to'move forward with the design work. Ms. Kronberg asked if
there is money in the budget for no~se reduction measures in the pool area at
the ARC. Steve Barwick, city manager, said there ~s no money at this time;
however, there ~s a reserve of $360,000 for operating and capital projects,
which will be brought back to Council. Ms. Kronberg applauded the
$55,000 for fitness equipment at the ARC. This should have been included
in the beginmng of the ARC.
Ms. Kronberg said the Aspen Valley Ski Club has requested $50,000 to help
w~th their budget because of loss of revenue from the 24 Hours of Aspen.
Ms. Kronberg said they should be funded because Aspen is about skiing,
because they produce Olympic athletes and because there are 1551 children
in the program.
Mayor Klandemd closed the public heating.
Councilman Semrau moved to adopt Resolution #101, Series of 2003,
adopting the 2004 budget; seconded by Councilman Torre.
Council thanked staff for the good work on the budget. Councilwoman
Richards said she would like to get more information on the request from the
Aspen Valley Ski Club about the in-kind contributions from the city.
Councilwoman Richards said the city should look at the health insurance
costs in future years and ways to have the employees pay more or to cut
back on expenses. Mayor Klanderud noted there are additional in-kind
requests from the Ski Club, plowing the parking lots and landscaping.
Councilwoman Richards said she would like to increase the Ski Club's
allotment by $5,0013, take the money from Council contingency and increase
Regular Meeting Aspen City Council November 10, 2003
the grants allocations by $5,000. Mayor Klanderud said she does not want
to make that decision without considering all the other grants.
Councilwoman Richards said the Living Arts Foundation has requested an
additional $6400 for a performance and they have to have an NEA grant in
by November 17th. They need to know if Council will grant additional
funds. Mayor Klanderud said she is concerned about the process. This is
setting a precedent for every group to come to Council and appeal their
funding amount. Councilman Torre said he would like to support Living
Arts' broadcast. Councilman Semrau said if this becomes an actuality,
Council could then support it. Mayor Klanderud agreed she would consider
supporting Living Arts if they get an NEA grant.
All in favor, motion carried.
RESOLUTION #102~ SERIES OF 2003 - Mill Levy 2004
Paul Menter, finance director, told Council the proposed mill levy for 2004
is 5.401 mills, which is the same as it has been for at least 10 years. This
mill levy will generate about $4,385,000. This is budgeted $2.8 million for
AMP, $908,000 for the general fund and $670,000 to reimburse the city for
capital expenses to the ARC.
Mayor Klanderud opened the public hearing. There were no comments.
Mayor Klanderud closed the public hearing.
Councilman Torre moved to adopt Resolution #102, Series of 2003;
seconded by Councilwoman Richards. All in favor, motion carried.
ORDINANCE #52, SERIES OF 2003 - Land Use Code Amendments
Scott Woodford, community development department, told Council there are
added definitions of antenna, monopole, antenna, whip and panel. The
ordinance disbands the design review appeal commission. The amendment
restricts the ability of an applicant to resubmit an identical application that
has been denied recently. The amendment states where there is a dispute as
to the correct zoning of a property; the ordinance approving the zoning is the
final authority, not the official zone district map. The ordinance has the
HPC or P&Z as the appropriate review and approval for variances to the
residential design standards. Section 6 relates to the residential design
7
Regular Meeting Aspen City, Council November 10, 2003
standards, changing the word waffle to traffic and addressing access from an
alley or road and that the garage doors shall be single stall doors. The
ordinance also addresses garage doors where there is not access from an
alley.
Woodford said the ordinance amends the residential design standards
regarding a one-story element to achieve the object of breaking up the mass
of a building and to address the street. The ordinance clarifies that the FAR
bonus on a historic landmark may be approved as part of the lot split review.
Councilman Semrau said he gets comments on how ponderous the design
review standards are. Councilman Semrau said these are good clarifications
and asked if staff has talked about looking at the residential design
standards. Councilman Semrau asked if is possible to have a public meeting
and get comments about possibly making the design standards more
neighborhood Specific. Julie Ann Woods, community development
department, agreed it would be worthwhile to have a public meeting with the
design community to see what kinds of suggestions there might be.
Councilwoman Richards said she is concerned about giving the planning
office more workload. Councilwoman Richards said she would prefer to see
the FAR decreased and would like to hear citizens' comments about house
sizes. Councilman Semrau said the design standards are not getting at what
the city wants. Councilwoman Richards said there needs to be a
conversation on house size, not just rearranging the FAR on a lot. Council
agreed staff should hold a public discussion about the design standards.
Woodford noted this ordinance deletes the requirement for the Chair or Vice
Chair of HPC to be present at a Council HPC appeal. The ordinance adds
wireless telecommunications facilities to special review category. A
duplicated sentence is eliminated from stream margin review standards. The
ordinance also lists the proper method to request a variance for height of
wireless telecommunications facilities. The ordinances amends
contradictory language in the outdoor lighting section.
Mayor Klanderud opened the public hearing. There were no comments.
Mayor Klandemd closed the public heating.
Councilman Semrau moved to adopt Ordinance #52, Series of 2003, on
second reading; seconded by Councilman Torre. Roll call vote;
Councilmembers Semrau, yes; Richards, yes; Torre, yes; Mayor Klanderud,
yes. Motion carried.
Regular Meeting Aspen Ci,ty Council November 10, 2003
ORDINANCE #53, SERIES OF 2003 - Code Amendment Accessory
Dwelling Unit and Carriage Houses
Chris Bendon, community development department, told Council the
existing program requires either an accessory dwelling unit or Cash-in-lieu
for a growth management exemption on demolition and replacement of a
single-family house or duplex. ADUs are between 300 and 800 square feet,
10% of which is required tobe storage. In order to get a GMQS exemption,
the ADUs must be detached and above grade. These units may be approved
administratively if they meet the standards. These units count in the FAR
and there is an FAR incentive for units sold through the housing office and
deed restricted as a category unit.
Bendon told Council this amendment is a result of the work of the infill
group who felt ADUs were a helpful tool. They recommended increasing
the incentives to get affordable housing units and to leverage the private
sector. This ordinance creates carriages houses, which are bigger ADUs,
between 800 and 1200 square feet. This also provides for a category for
units sold through the housing program, and if these units are sold through
the housing program, the FAR is fully exempt. There are definitions to
accompany this code amendment.
Councilwoman Richards said supports changes to make ADUs more livable
and used. Councilwoman Richards said she is concerned about adding 1200
square foot of density for a category 7 unit. Councilwoman Richards said
she does support categories but not the highest. Councilman Semrau asked
if this applies to all zoning categories. Bendon said it applies to all zone
districts where ADUs are allowed, which is all residential but R-15B.
Councilman Semrau said this is in-town housing and the type of housing
people say they want.
Councilwoman Richards said she wants to make sure the price for future
appreciation is set at sale. Councilman Semrau said the deed restriction is
made when the sale is made. Councilman Semrau suggested the categories
be 3, 4, 5, and 6 and not. the highest category. Councilman Semrau said if
no units are built in 1 year to 18 months, Council can examine this concept.
Councilwoman Richards asked how this would work with the TDR
ordinance and could building sites be overloaded with density. Bendon
agreed this should be watched and Council can consider how much they
9
Regular Meeting Aspen Ci~, Council November 10, 2003
want to incentivize affordable housing before a neighborhood becomes too
dense.
Mayor Klandemd opened the public hearing. There were no comments.
Mayor Klanderud closed the public hearing.
Councilman Semrau moved to adopt Ordinance #53, Series of 2003, on
second reading, amending the categories to 3, 4, 5 and 6; seconded by
Councilwoman Richards. Roll call vote; Councilmembers Semrau, yes;
Richards, yes; Torre, yes; Mayor Klanderud, yes. Motion carried.
ORDINANCE #54~ SERIES OF 2003 - Code Amendment Transferable
Development Rights
Chris Bendon, community development department, said the transferable
development rights program ~s a new addition to the land use code. This
planning concept was tested at the Supreme Court in 1977. Bendon said this
planning tool set up to achieve public goals relies on private sector
motivations. Bendon said the public goals connected with TDRs around the
county are associated with open space or the preservation of agricultural use
and historic preservation.
Bendon reminded Council there ~s a TDR program is Pitkin County
concentrating on open space in the rural and remote zones and allowing the
development right to be used outside Aspen but within the urban growth
boundary. Bendon told Council this concept came up with the infill group.
One of their goals was to leverage private sector motivation to achieve
public goals. The infill group thought this was a useful planning tool;
however, they did not want to integrate the Pitkin County system as the
lands are too removed from Aspen. The infill committee also wanted to stay
with a clear goal, which is the preservation of historic buildings.
Bendon told Council "sending site" is the historic property, the one being
preserved with its development rights being lessened by issuing a TDR and
"landing site" or "receiver site" is where the development is going, where
the TDR will be landed. Sending sites are single family or duplexes that are
historically designated. Landing sites are properties within the R-6, R-15,
R-15A, R: 15B and R-30 zone districts. This is limited to one TDR per
residence. The increment of the TDR is 250 square feet on both ends,
10
Regular Meeting Aspen City Council November 10, 2003
limited to one per residence. The FAR after a TDR is added is that allowed
by the zone district minus or plus 250 square feet.
Bendon said the TDR process is outlined in the ordinance. This will require
an affidavit from the owners that they understand the program, that there is a
restriction on the property in exchange for the city issuing a TDR which will
preclude them from having their full FAR. Every TDR that is issued from a
property results in 250 square feet less of FAR. Council would adopt this
TDR by ordinance as the sending property is being deed restricted. After the
ordinance is adopted, there is a closing document given to the property
owner in exchange for a deed restriction, which is a recorded document.
The TDRs can transfer on the open market for an unlimited amount of time.
Staffwill check to make sure the landing site can accommodate additional
FAR and that a PUD does not limit the site, that all other land use approvals
have been received. The TDR will be like a car title with an assignment for
resale. Bendon told Council this ordinance will not take effect for 90 days
so that staff can work out these details.
Bendon pointed out if a PUD designates a FAR in its approval, one will not
be able to accept TDRs unless they get the PUD amended. Bendon said
landing and sending sites can be created through a PUD. The ordinance
contains definitions and cleans up terms used through the land use code.
Bendon noted TDRs only may go to residential zones. Staffwill continue to
look at including lodge, multi-family and commercial zones. Bendon noted
TDRs should "be considered bearer instruments" should be deleted and read
TDR certificates shall require execution by the Mayor.
Mayor Klandemd opened the public hearing. There were no comments.
Mayor Klandemd closed the public hearing.
Councilman Semrau moved to adopt Ordinance #54, Series of 2003, with the
language changes suggested by Bendon; seconded by Councilman Torre.
Councilwoman Richards said she supports this as a small measure towards
preserving historic buildings in town. Councilwoman Richards said this is
allowing transfer of development off a historic site rather than
acknowledging there maybe too much FAR. This is adding FAR to modem
lots that are too dense. Bendon noted all other dimensional requirements
must be met, height, setbacks, the residential design standards.
11
Regular Meeting Aspen City, Council November 10, 2003
Councilman Torre asked if staff has estimated the number of sites. Bendon
said there are around 130 potential sending sites, which would depend on a
property owner's willingness to sell some of their density.
Roll call vote; Councilmembers Richards, yes; Tome, yes; Semrau, yes;
Mayor Klanderud, yes. Motion carried.
RESOLUTION #99, SERIES OF 2003 - South 7th and Hopkins
Annexation
Councilwoman Richards moved to continue Resolution #99, Series of 2003,
to November 24, 2003; seconded by Councilman Semrau. All in favor,
motion carried.
RESOLUTION #103, SERIES OF 2003 - Amendment to Bar/X Pre-
annexation Agreement
John Worcester, city attorney, told Council the amended and restated pre-
annexation agreement is an attempt to bring 3 prior agreements into one
document, the restated pre-annexation agreement. Worcester went over the
changes included in the restated pre-annexation. Worcester pointed out one
change is that each party will provide the other with quit claim deeds
between the Bar/X and the Burlingame ranch to clear up the discrepancies.
Worcester said there is still a dispute between the Zolines and the Soldners
and if the Soldners are correct, the 60-foot right-of-way will be shifted to the
east.
Worcester told Council the Zolines would like the land proposed for cultural
use to be zoned Pub, public. Staff suggests and SPA overlay to define the
uses in that zone district. This changes the submission requirement date to
December 2004. Worcester reminded Council that the agreement allows
for TDRs to be purchased to increase the FAR in free market units. The
agreement states a purchase price of $200,000 cash-in-lieu for a transferable
development right. Staffincludes a CPI percentage increase on those TDRs.
Worcester pointed out the FAR for open space and the sending.site for TDRs
must be approved by City Council as they were concerned that some TDRs
may not have much value to the city. Worcester noted the TDRs for the
ADUs will fund the housing fund, not the open space fund.
12
Regular Meeting Aspen Ci,ty Council November 10, 2003
Worcester said the language regarding the vacation of Stage Road has been
changed. The original language required the city to get cooperation from
Pitkin County to vacate Stage Road. Worcester said this may be a private
road and the property will be annexed into the city so the part referring to
Pitkin county has been deleted. The agreement allows the ranch manager lot
to be sold to the ranch manager if the Zolines desire. The water rights
language allows the Zolines to dig a well to serve the cabin instead of using
city water.
Worcester noted the language about the city purchasing the AVLT land has
been deleted since the city has acquired the AVLT land. The language
regarding the back bowl has been stricken since purchasing the AVLT land
the back bowl land will be subject to a conservation easement in perpetuity.
Worcester told Council detailed engineenng plans for potable water for
sewer lines need not be part of the plat but can be dealt with beyond
conceptual designs. The new agreement clarifies that if the city approves the
cultural use area, the ECU calculations will be adjusted accordingly.
Worcester said the right-of-way has always been a maximum of 60 feet.
Worcester said the engineering department thinks it will be difficult to
accommodate a road, berm and turning radius within 60 feet. Council may
discuss with the Zolines the possibility of widening that right-of-way. There
is language in the restated agreement taking away the possibility of an
access road to the Airport Business Center; however, the city does retain the
rtght to build a pedestrian trail that can accommodate golf carts.
John Lufton, representing the Zolines, said through this process he
understands why public~ private partnerships happen so seldom. Lufton said
they have been delayed while the affordable housing issue was brought to a
halt and the city hired consultants to evaluate the program. Lufton said the
time extension is critical to the Zolines. Lufton proposed a covenant on the
plat that will restrict the uses in the cultural area to those specific uses as
approved. Lufton said the covenant will be to a mutually agreed upon non-
profit organization. Lufton said he has just heard the request to increase the
right-of-way from 60 feet. Lufton said this right-of-way started at 40 feet
and they reluctantly increased it to 60 feet. The construction drawings from
SGM showed everything that needs to be built contained within 60 feet.
Lufton said the applicants are not willing to bring this up agmn. Ed Sadler,
assistant city manager, said the only difficult spot is the turn at the comer of
the Soldner lot. Worcester said this has been agreed to and requested the
13
Regular Meetin~
Aspen City Council
November 10, 200.2
applicants be willing to look at this at the final review to make sure the
intersection is safe. Lufton said he does not want to comment on this until
the boundary dispute with the Soldners is resolved.
Councilwoman Richards said 60 feet is the amount that was agreed upon·
Councilwoman Richards said as this goes forward, the city and applicant can
work on the aesthetic appeal of the comer and ifa 5-foot berm is not
required, the intersection could work through design. Councilwoman
Richards said she would prefer to stick to the current agreement. Lufton
committed to looking at the intersection to see what the issues are.
Worcester said that ~s reasonable. Worcester requested the agreement keep
the language about a SPA overlay on the cultural center; however, Lufton's
suggestion may be a more clear one.
Councilman Semrau moved to approve Resolution #103, Series of 2003, ~n
substantially the form as the 11/10/03 draft; seconded by Councilman l'orre.
All in favor, motion carried.
Councilman Semrau moved to go ~nto executive session at 8:35 p.m. to
discuss acquisition of property pursuant to C.R.S. 24-6-402(4)(a); seconded
by Councilman Torre. All in favor, motion carried.
Councilman Torre moved to come out of executive session at 9:05 p.m.;
seconded by Councilman Semrau. All in favor, motion carried.
