Agreement with Pitkin County Housing Authority to process applicants for Smuggler Mobile Home Park. In section 6 services to be performed by the city do not include should by county Councilwoman Michael moved to approve the joint agreement between the City and the Pitkin County Housing Authority to qualify applicants for the Smuggler Mobile Home park; seconded by Commissioner Child. All in favor, motion carried. 2. Trails System - Parks Department. City Manager Chapman told the Boards this item is for the city to accept the deeds to all the trails as well as Wagner Park. Chapman said at the staff level there is no longer a meeting of the minds on this issue. Chapman said the city wants Wagner park if they are going to take over the trails. The county requested that Wagner park not be part of the deal. Councilman Knecht said he would like to have Wagner park as a city property. Councilman Knecht said he was willing for the city to maintain the trails but would like more than just the deed to the trails. Mayor Edel said the city took over the recreation programs and the county took over the trails. Mayor Edel said the larger issue of double taxation and what dollars are coming from where has to be resolved, commissioner Child said until there is a resolution of that question, the county cannot be trading away a valuable piece of property. Council- woman Michael asked if the trails were being maintained. Kinsley said the county has no money budgeted for maintenance. Councilman Knecht said the city would have to put at least $40,000 into equipment to maintain the trails. Chapman and parks director Jim Holland put together figures for operation which are $44,000 for the first year and $24,000 for following years; this does include labor. Mayor Edel said the trail from the Slaughterhouse bridge east is quite broken up. Kinsley said the sewer district is going to repair this. Councilman Knecht said the feeling is that the Council wants to keep the trail system going. The city has the capability to do this. Councilwoman Michael agreed and said the Council has a responsibility to the taxpayers to keep this program going. This is an amenity to the residents and sets Aspen apart from other communities. The city should get something of value for the trail system and that's where Wagner Park trade comes in. STAe=~ -~o~ o~ 5UT~Ze~s ST uT~uno~ e~ ~o ~d ~OTU~qO~ e~ pTes e~o~eG 'uT~uno~ sTq% ~o ~oA~ u!

With the original budget, it was not possible to put stanless steel cages over the pumps. The original pipe system worked for a few years but it was ~ designed to fit the budget and won't laSt much longer. Fulton presented a movable, service- able, semi-indeStructible which could be worked on and installed over the winter. Mayor Ed~ said this will fit right into the budget process. Kay Reid said she would help work on a fund raising drive. Fulton and DeWolfe will have a budget to staff in August. COUNCILMEMBER COMMENTS 1. Council Knecht asked if the city and coUnty could develop a monthly program to preserve the entrance on the way to the dump and to add to the fee structure on trucks going to the dump without covers. Councilman Knecht said he had followed trucks down the highway that trash was streaming out all over. This is a constant problem and it is the entrance to town. Manager Chapman said the staff has discussed the difficulties of enforcing a covered truck ordinance. Sheriff Dick Kienast said it is set into the fee structure at the dump that uncovered trucks have to pay extra. Chapman told Council staff has prepared a budget for picking up this trash; however, the parks department does not have any extra resources. If Council wants trash pick up, it will require additional allocation. Recently the county took over the entire operation of the dump and they get all the fees. Staff will return to Council with proposed budget for clean up. 2. Councilman Knecht brought up the swan pond at highway 82 and Cemetery Lane and said it appears cars are abaondoned or left 'out there for sale. Councilman Knecht requested the police department to tow out of the parking lot or otherwise taken care of. 3. Councilman Knecht requested a study session with the Ski Company to request short-term accommodations report. 4. Councilman Parry asked if the city was going to do striping on Cemetery Lane. Chapman said yes, but part of the job last year was not done up to standard and is starting to crack. The city engineer met with the .water contractors and Elam and told them this was not acceptable; they would have to figure out a way to fix it and split the cost. The city does not want to do the striping until the road is fixed. 5. Councilwoman Michael noted that Olof Hedstrom, chairman of P & Z has resigned and state( Hedstrom was one of the finest chairmen of any meeting. Councilwoman Michael requested after a new chair is appointed and the commission~ is full, that P & Z and Council have a couple of study sessions especially regarding the lack of planning, the case load and the monster code. 6. Mayor Edel requested an update on the building department. Chapman said the building department is fairly caught up on paper work. A person has been hired as plans checker; the chief building inspector is still vacant. 7. Mayor Edel brought up emplOyee housing~given to someone in town on a double density on the premise it would be restricted housing at $235 a month. It has been reported that this person is charging $600 a month. Mayor Edel said he wanted this followed up. Assistant City Attorney Gary Esary said he had interviewed a tenant and is getting some documentation. Esary is gathering the facts and will report to council. Mayor Edel said he would like to come down hard on this so that other people won't try to get away with this. Bill Drueding zoning enforcement officer, said these restrictions are hard to enforce unless the staff gets complaints. Councilman Knecht suggested putting all the deed restricted units on a computer so that people can find out which ones are restricted. Councilman Parry moved to add the Woodstone Lodge to the agenda; seconded by Councilman Knecht. All in favor, motion carried. Councilman Knecht moved to add Primavera Ristorante liquor license renewal to the agenda; seconded by Councilman Collins. All in favor, motion carried. Chapman requested an addition, the allocation for the program for the referendum issues. Councilman Parry moved to add this to the agenda; seconded by Councilwoman Michael. All in favor, motion carried. BENCH FOR BUS STOP ON NORTH MILL STREET Summers told Council he felt this bench would be in the neighborhood of $500 to $600. Councilman Parry said he would like benches around town like the ones in the lobby. Summer~ told Council the transportation department is developing an Overall plan for stops and benches around town. However, this request is a more immediate need. Summers told Council the transportation department indicated they could fund this bench out of their budget. Dealing with the overall project will be considered at a later time. The Council said they wanted to make sure the benches are secured. Councilwoman Michael moved to authorize staff t~ purchase and/or trade with parks department a sturdy, vandal-proof bench to go across from Clark's on Mill street, to limit $600; seconded by Councilman Parry. All in favor, motion carried. PITKIN COUNTY JAIL FACILITY - Subdivision Exception; Rezoning to Public; SPA Colette Penne, planning office, told Council there are three separate actions required and presented a map of the different parcels. Ms. Penne said the wedge-shaped parcel, ~2, is dealt with in subdivision exception to form this parcel from a larger city ownership and to combine this with parcels 1 and 3 to form one parcel for the jail facility. This project is going through the shortened process because of the hardship that the county needs the jail and needs it this construction season. Ms. Penne said parcel 3, the Bealmer property, is being purchased by the county; Bealmer and the county are co-applying to have the parcel subdivided to become part of the larger parcel and also for rezoning. The land presently has an SPA; and to rezone the Bealmer property from S/C/I to Public. Reqular Meetinq Aspen City Counci~ May 24, 1982 The result will be one large parcel, rezoned entirely to Public. The final action by ordinance is to adopt an SPA plan; the purpose of this SPA is to adopt a building envelope for the jail and setting area and bulk requirements. Ms. Penne said this parcel will become part of the Rio Grande SPA, which will go through full subdivision procedure and address all the more technical questions. Councilwoman Michael moved to approve subdivision exception for the formation of parcel 2 and the aggregation of parcels 1, 2 and 3 into one parcel for a jail site with the follow ing conditions: (1) plat requirements of the city engineering department be met before recordation of the plat; (2) transfer of ownership of parcel 3 to the county be completed; seconded by Councilman Knecht. Councilman iCollins asked what the purpose is to vacating the alley. Jay Hammond, engineer ing department said the alley is an island; it cannot be accessed from either side. There will be a dedicated access to the north side of the Courthouse Plaza for fire vehicles. Mayor Edel said the footprint of the jail looks larger than the courthouse. Gary Ross, architect, told Council this is for staffing purposes; to have everything on one floor makes is much better. There will only be two offices in the building. All in favor, motion carried. ORDINA/-~CE #24, SERIES OF ~982 - Adopting Precise Plan for jail facility and rezoning the SPA to Public Councilwoman Michael moved to read Ordinance ~24, Series of 1982; seconded by Councilman Parry. All in favor, motion carried. ORDINANCE ~24 (Series of 1982) AN ORDINANCE ADOPTING THE PP~ECISE PLAN FOR THE JAIL FACILITY SPECIALLY PLANNED AP~EA (SPA) AND REZONING THE SPA SITE TO "PUBLIC" was read by the depUty city clerk Councilman Knecht moved to adopt Ordinance #24, Series of 1982; seconded by Councilwoman Michael. Roll call vote; Councilmembers Parry, aye; Knecht, aye; Michael, aye; Collins, aye; Mayor Edel, aye. Motion carried. RIO GRANDE SPA PLAN - Consultant Contract Monroe Summers said staff has been discussing the contract for development of the overall SPA plan for the Rio Grande. Benedict and Associates developed a master plan; their involvement, at this point, has been limited to the conceptual stage. This contract is for one of the four phases of the SPA plan, the conceptUal subdivision presentation. A budget has been submitted by Benedict, approached as a not to exceed figure with hourly costs pluS expenses, which is $8,860. The end result will be an approved conceptual subdivision plan. This plan would, conceptually, tie down the lot lines, conceptual uses, outline the parcel of land to be used. Mayor Edel question the contract allowing the city manager to "act on behalf of the city in making decisions relating to the project". Mayor Edel said he was not sure he wanted to turn this over; it should be a Council decision to make. Council and staff agreed to scratch that sentence. Councilwoman Michael moved to approve the agreement between the city of Aspen and Benedict and Associates; seconded by Councilman Parry. All in favor, motion carried. GOLF COURSE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM Jim Holland,.parks director, reminded Council they had put an additional $20 on a local's pass for the purpose of a capital improvement fund for the golf course. This should generate about $14,000 a year. Holland has put together a golf capital improvement progra Last year, the golf course was $31,000 which goes directly into the improvement fund. Together With the yearly money, Holland would like to go for an $80,000 to $90,000 loan to get the projects, done in the next two years. Holland presented a budget and program in anticipation of getting a loan, which will be paid back from the yearly proceeds. Councilman Knecht pointed out some of the improvements are the entrance road, paving and landscaping the parking lot, and asked what participation Red Roof Inns has agreed to. Holland said of the entrance road none because of the proPerty line established. Most of the improvements are on city property. Holland said it would be in their interest to have the road and parking lot paved and hoped to get some help from Red Roof Inns. Councilwoma Michael asked how the secondary budget requests would be funded. Holland said until the $90,000 loan is paid off, the only way to do it is through revenue increases. Councilman Knecht said he thought some of the proceeds from the Red Roof Inns lease were to go to the golf course. The staff pointed out there are other obligations. Councilwoman Michael moved to authorize the total expenditures of $90,000 for special project in 1982 for the golf course listed in memorandum of May 18; seconded by Councilman Collins. All in favor, motion carried. REPORT ON EMPLOYEE COMMUNICATIONS PROGRAM Patsy Malone, personnel director, told Council an employee newsletter has come out, which she distributed to employees and Council. There is an employee suggestion system, which is outlined in the newsletter. The feedback has been positive. Ms. Malone has done an attitude survey and is in the middle of analysing it. There may be some monetary rewards as a result of suggestions; these will be brought to the attention of Council. These rewards will be as a result of savings to the city. STATUS REPORT ' CASH MANAGEMENT Sheree Sonfield, finance director, presented a report to show Council what the staff is doing to try and make the most of the money the city has. Mayor Edel requested a report from staff of the plans for the city's money with the local banks. This will be on the next agenda. Ms. Sonfield told Council the finance department is looking at collecting on receivables, cash flow forecasting, establishing a minimum cash reserve balance. City Manager Chapman said there are several aspects to this plan3 getting it all together will take some time. Chapman said staff feels one of the management areas the city needs to improve upon is cash management. The city is on track with a financial plan and is beginning to hit the goals and targets. Chapman said the staff is working on a report to illustrate to Council how the cash is being handled. Ms. Sonfield said the city's outstanding receivables are one million dollars, from things like the Plum Tree and water and electric. The staff is looking at how to handle this better like being able to go to small claims court and get the money. .Assistant City Attorney Gary~Esary is working on a procedure for finance to get in quickly and get a judgment. Ms. Sonfield told Council the finance department is working to pay vendors and suppliers immediately. ORDINANCE #11, SERIES OF 1982 Floor Area Limitation Mayor Edel reopened the public hearing. Sunny Vann, planning director, told Council the last two remaining issues are a provision for expanding non-conforming structures for residences and the appropriateness of including above-grade decks and balConies as mandatory in the FAR calculations in non-residential structures. Vann reminded Council concern was raised about the ability of a non-conforming historically deSignated structure to expand with no_limitation. It was suggested to put a cap on the expansion. The planning o~fice !i surveyea seven structures; most of these were under the allowable FAR and would have expansion capabilities. The planning office tried to use a percentage; however, 10 Per cent of a small structure is considerably different than 10 per cent of a large Victorian.ii The planning office suggests a square footage limitation of 500 square feet. Vann explained if an applicant had an historically designated structure which exceeds the maximum FAR permitted, they could expand up to 500 square feet without going through any review process. An applicant needing more than 500 square feet may apply to the Board of Adjust, ment. Councilwoman Michael asked if there was a one time limitation. Mayor Edel said he thought it shoUld be a one-time only as it is a bonus for historically designated structures. City Manager Chapman pointed out this is not a time limitation but a size limitation. Vann said the city has always recognized that minor expansion may be the key to preserva- tion of Victorians. All Councilmembers except Councilwoman Michael agreed to go for 500 square foot expansion limitation. Vann brought up the issue of above grade decks and balconies in non-residential structuresl In the past the Code was written so those determinations were made by the building depart- ment. It has always been that overhangs, roof, balconies; stairways, decks that are necessary to the function of the building are counted in the FAR. The change is that the discretion of the building department has been removed; this is clearer and easier to understand. Vann said this was added because discussions with the building department indicated that for commercial structures, these were counted. Council agreed to take the discretion out of the building department. Vann said the issues to consider in counting decks and balconies are the impact associated with their use and the bulk. Larry Yaw said that architects use balconies and decks as part of design and to reduce visual mass to break up walls. Balconies are used to help buildings relate to their surroundings. Yaw said counting decks and balconies should be' deleted. Vann reiterated that decks and balconies necessary for the function of the building, such as corridors and walkways, count in the FAR; those not necessary do not count. Welton Anderson showed Council some pictures of commercial buildings with decks or balconies and how these counted. Anderson said the end result of counting roof decks and balconies is to get buildings that are boxes. Jerry McArthy said he felt this would change the architecture. This is the wrong tool to limit bulk. Vann said decks under roof overhangs have always been counted; this change is to count these spaces whether they are covered or not. Robin MOlny told Council the origin of counting balconies and decks that are used for access, which is a method of increasing floor area rather than redUcing it by getting into building from the outside rather than the inside. Molny said the solution is to count balconies and decks which are used for required access and not count balconies and decks which are not used for required access. Council agreed and Vann read the language from the ordinance; "For the purpose of calculating the floor area ratio in allowable floor area, above grade decks and balcOnies shall be considered necessary for the function of the building if used for required access and the principle use of the building is non-residential". Mayor Edel pointed out the only change is to make this explicit as how the calculations are handled; as far as the exact calculations, there is no change. Councilman Knecht sai( he preferred the language read by Vann above. Councilman Collins said he wanted to leave it the way it was, at the discretion of the building department. Councilman Parr~ said he would go with "required access". Councilwoman Michael preferred the wording as it. Mayor Edel wants the new wording with "required access". Vann said that space 100 below grade is sub-grade space and does not count in the FAR; however, is someone wants an exit for fire purposes, it is fine. MayOr Edel closed the public hearing. Councilman Knecht moved to adopt Ordinance ~11', Series of 1982, on second reading with the following change in Section 4 (e) (1) ."if used for required access"; seconded by Councilman Parry. 'iRoll call vote; Councilmembers Collins, aye; Michael, aye; Knecht, aye; Parry, aye; Mayor Edel, aye. Motion carried. TIEHACK WATER TANK SITE EASEMENT AGREEMENT Councilman Knecht moved to authorize the city manager to enter into an easement agreement for a tank site for 2,000,000 gallon Tiehack reservoir and pipeline; seconded by Councilman Collins. All in favor, motion carried. (Councilman Parry left Chambers). ASPEN GROVE TANK SITE LAND PURCHASE AGREEMENT Councilman Knecht moved to authorize the city manager to entier into a land purchase agreement for a tank site for the 1,000,000 gallon Aspen Grove reservoir; seconded by Councilman Collins. City ManaGer Chapman told Council the staff has negotiated a price for the parcel of $10'0,000. Chapman told Council this is a fair price, and will save the city a couple of hundred thousand dollars compared to the alternative. All in favor, motion carried. KNOLLWOOD PUMP STATION and RIVERSIDE DRIVE PIPELINE City Engineer McArthur told Council he will require a special meeting for these. MALL LEASES Assistant City Manager Ron Mitchell recommended to continue with 6 per cent increase in the mall leases, which will be $1.34 per square foot per month. The lease is written so that the lessees will pay on a monthly basis rather than up front. The new lease has a delinquency charge of 2 per cent per month. Councilman Knecht said he felt it would be easier to collect the rents up front. Council's consensus was to have the lessees pay up front. Councilman Knecht moved to approve the mall leases as presented, with the change that the full summer's rent be paid in advance; seconded by Councilman Collins. All in favor, motion carried. REQUEST FOR EXPANSION OF LIQUOR LICENSED PP~MISES AND RENEWAL - Arthur's Chinese Restauran Tom Dunlop, environmental health officer, told Council he has met with the applicant and his attorney trying to come up with a workable solution for the expansion. Dunlop told Council there has been a continuing problem with the employaes of ethnic restaurants unde standing the health codes, which is not any different at Arthur's. The applicant has made a lot of progress in the building, furnishing the building. Dunlop said he would like the license conditional, and the main thrust of viclations are caused by employees which may be ignorance or innocence of the regulations. The applicant has agreed to implement an employee training program to minimize the employee-caused violations. Dunlop requested Council approve these requests with a review in six months. ~ David Moss told Council the expansion request is for outside dining and will be less than 2000 square feet. Assistant City Attorney Esary told Council that Arthur's is operating under a conditional use permit; they will have to go to P & Z for an expansion of a conditional use. Dunlop requested a review of Council in October 1982 to see whether Arthur's has satisfied his requests. Chapman pointed out Dunlop has tried several approa¢ .es to get the health problems corrected. Chapman said it should be made very clear that in slx months, if this has to come to a hearing, the penalty may be up to and including revocation of the liquor license. David Moss, the applicant, told Council he will work on a training program; will get an interpreter to help. Over the past year, they have improved their kitchen facilities and have made a full effort. Councilwoman Michael moved to approve the liquor license expansion and renewal request subject to the approval of the expansion of the conditional use permit by the planning and zoning commission and that it is the intent of Council that the entire liquor license permise shall be subject to review by the City Council prior to November 1, 1982, for satisfactory complainca with health regulations with the possibility that the liquor license may be revoked for unsatisfactory compliance with such health regulations; seconded by Councilman Knecht. All in favor, motion carried. LIQUOR LICENSE RENEWAL - Primavera City Manager Chapman told Council this renewal came in late. If Primavera had ~o wait until the next Council meeting, they will be without a license for three weeks. Chapman said the license documents are in order. The health department does want to bring some problems with the restaurant to Council's attention. Lee Cassin, environmental health, told Council there are a number of serious violations which have not been corrected. Ms. Cassin told Council she had informed the applicant if these were not addressed in a work program, the violations would be discussed at the renewal hearing. Dunlop said they have had an administrative hearing in his office. Ms. Cassin recommended Council approve this conditioned upon an inspection in 45 days. Councilman Knecht moved to approve the renewal conditionally for 45 days based upon corrections of all violations noted at the last inspection; seconded by Councilwoman Michael. All in favor, motion carried. TIGA CONTRACT - Bus Advertising Monroe Summers told Council TIGA is in Colorado Springs and has the franchise to do the advertising on the city buses. There have been two contracts in the past; this is a request for a renewal. The city did receive $10,000 proforma guarantee from TIGA. Summer recommended approval of this contract for another year with a yearly review. Councilman Knecht moved to approve the 1982 TIGA bus advertising contract; seconded by Councilman Collins. All in favor, motion carried. APPLICATION FOR THREE-WAY LIQUOR LICENSE - Sumo's In Aspen Councilwoman Michael stepped down for a conflict of interest. Mayor Edel opened the public hearing. Deputy City Clerk Beall reported the posting, public and file are in order. an application a three-way liquor license. The Gideon Kaufman told Council this is for restaurant will be a Benihana-type restaurant with tables for eight isolated. There will be approximately 135 seats. Mayor Edel asked for opponents. There were none. Councilman Collins pointed out one of the principles is also an owner of the Aspen Mine Company who did not pay last year's mall rent. Kaufman answered that since 1975 there have not been any problems with the Aspen Mine Company's liquor license. These are two separate issues; however, if Council wants to condition them on each, it can be done. Mayor Edel closed the public hearing. Councilman Collins moved that based on the evidence presented at a public hearing held May 24, 1982, relating to the application of Sumo's in Aspen for a three-way liquor license the City Council finds that the needs of the community have not been met and the license as applied for is hereby granted; seconded by Councilman Knecht. All in favor, motion carried. WOODSTONE INN Spencer Schiffer requested this be taken off the agenda. SUBDIVISION EXCEPTION - Corkscrew Duplex Colette Penne, planning office, remonded Council they had approved employee units in this building; this request is to condominiumize the duplex. It will be condominiumized so that each side of the duplex will have a free market unit and an employee unit. Councilwoman Michael moved to approve subdivision exception for the purpose of condominiumi. zation of the duplex located at 118-120 East Hyman avenue under the following conditions; (1) the plat revisions outlined by the engineering department be made before recording the plat; (2) the statement of exception and the declaration of covenants, restrictions and conditions be executed and recorded with the final condominium plat; sec onded by Council- man Knecht. All in favor, motion carried.

DEPUTY MUNICIPAL JUDGE Assistant City Attorney Gary Esary submitted a letter from the deputy Municipal Judge, Bill Hodges, explaining his conflict of interest, and a memorandum from Paul Taddune. Esary said the conflict of interest ordinance is clear, and this is a difficult position. Mayor Edel said it is clear cut that Hodges should resign and a letter explaining this should be sent to Hodges. City Manager Chapman said Council may waive the conflict; if Council does not waive the conflict, Hodges has no option but to resign. Chapman said the law suit against the City that Hodges is involved in could get sticky. Council decided to take no action and to send a letter to Hodges.
