DATE:
November 28,2005
PROJECT: Aspen Meadows Health Center Expansion
ApPLICANT: The Aspen Institute.
ADDRESS: 880 Meadows Road.
REQUEST: The Applicant is requesting a Specially Planned Area (SPA)
Amendment and a GMQS Review for an Essential Public
Facility to expand the existing Aspen Meadows Health
Center by approximately 3,300 squ~re feet, using primarily
allowable FAR that was approved in the past but not built.

PLANNING AND The Planning and Zoning Commission approved Resolution
ZONING COMMISSION No. 32, Series of 2005, recommending that City Council
RECOMMENDATION: approve the requested SPA amendment and GMQS review
for essential public facility with the conditions contained
therein.
BACKGROUND:
In 1991, the Aspen Institute. the Music Associates of Aspen, and the Aspen Center for
Physics applied for and received approval of a Specially Planned Area (SPA) to make
improvements to the Aspen Meadows Campus and surrounding areas. The Aspen
-
""""
,
Meadows SPA provided a master plan for the area and also allowed for certain expansion
potential within the SPA. The SPA approval (which has received several subsequent
extensions of the vested rights) granted approval of an expansion to the existing Health
Center (please see vicinity map that was attached as Exhibit "F" in the first reading
packet for location) and allocated approximately I ,800 square feet of FAR that was never
used.
Additionally, as part of the recent review of the new conference center and meeting
facility at the Aspen Meadows that gained City Council approval in December of 2004,
an additional 1,500 square feet of approved but unbuilt FAR was allocated for use in the
Health Center expansion. Therefore, the Applicant has requested an SPA amendment
approval for the expansion of the Health Center by 3,327 square feet. In conjunction with
this application, the Applicant submitted and received approval of an insubstantial SPA
amendment from the Community Development Director to move the maintenance facility
that currently exists adjacent to the health center to within a subgrade extension to the
existing parking garage on the site.
LAND USE REQUESTS:
In order to construct the expansion to the existing Health Center, the Applicant requires
the following land use actions:
. SPA Amendment to the approved Aspen Meadows SPA.
. GMQS Review for an Essential Public Facility.
. Certificate of Appropriateness for Major HPC Development (Conceptual HPC has
been granted pursuant to HPC Resolution No. 36, Series 01'2005, Resolution was
attached as Exhibit "D" in first reading packet)
REVIEW PROCEDURE:
Pursuant to Land Use Code Section 26.440.090(8), Amendment to an SPA Development
Order, City Council shall approve, approve with conditions, or deny the requested SPA
amendment after considering recommendation from the Planning and Zoning
Commission. Also, according to Land Use Code Section 26.470.040(D)(3), Growth
Management Review for an Essential Public Facility, City Council shall approve,
approve with conditions, or deny the requested growth management review for an
essential public facility after considering a recommendation from the Planning and
Zoning Commission.
STAFF COMMENTS:
SPA Amendment
In reviewing the SPA amendment request to expand the Health Center by 3,327 square
feet (1,800 SF + 1,500 SF +27 SF), Staff believes that all of the floor area to be added to
the Health Center was already contemplated to be built within the SPA, just in a different
form. As was eXplained in the background section of this memorandum, 1,800 square
feet of the FAR proposed in this expansion was approved to be added to the Health
Center as part of the original SPA approval in 1991. An additional 1,500 square feet of
2
1"
~_.~...
'-.,.'
FAR proposed for this expansion was originally approved to be utilized as part of a
lodging building that was not build, but was reallocated for the future expansion of the
Health Center as part of the 2004 approval to construct the new Conference Facility
pursuant to Ordinance No. 45, Series of 2004 (attached as Exhibit "E" in the first reading
packet). Finally, twenty-seven (27) square feet of FAR that was allowed, but unused in
the development of the new Conference Facility is proposed to be allocated for the Health
Club expansion.
Staff believes that the impact of the expansion on parking and traffic demand was already
contemplated since 1,800 square feet of the Health Center expansion was reviewed and
approved in 1991, and the other 1,527 square feet of the expansion was to be constructed
as lodging development in the 1991 approvals. Staff believes that using the 1,527 square
feet of FAR that was originally dedicated for lodging and was reallocated for the Health
Center actually reduces the impact of the development since lodging is typically a more
auto intensive use than that of the proposed Health Center expansion, given that the
Health Center is primarily used by people that are already at the campus for other reasons
(staying at the lodge, attending a conference, etc.) and not as a destination facility in
itself.
The insubstantial SPA amendment that was submitted and approved by the Community
Development Director in conjunction with this application yields a reduction by seven (7)
parking spaces in the Aspen Meadows parking garage due to the relocation of the
maintenance facility from the Health Center building to a sub grade extension of the
parking garage. However, the Applicant received approval to add eight (8) formal parking
spaces to the development between the existing tennis courts so that there is not a net loss
in the amount of parking spaces within the development.
GMOS Implications
The Aspen Meadows Campus originally received a GMQS exemption for an essential public
facility in conjunction with receiving SPA approval in 1991. The Applicant is requesting to
amend the essential public facility allotments that were granted to the facility to allow for the
1,800 square feet of net leasable space that was approved to be added to the Health Center in
a different site-specific design than was originally approved in 1991. The Applicant further
would like an amendment to the original allotments to allow for the 1,500 square feet of net
leasable space that was originally approved as lodging to be added to the Health Center as
part of this development application. as was contemplated in the 2004 approvals to construct
the Conference Center.
In reviewing the request, typically it would be anticipated that an expansion of net leasable
square footage would generate between 3.5 and 4.1 employees per 1,000 square feet of new
net leasable square feet and the Applicant would be responsible for providing affordable
housing mitigation for 60% of those employees generated. However, because 1,800 square
feet of exempt net leasable square footage was approved for an addition to the Health Center
in 1991 but not built and another 1,527 square feet was previously exempted from employee
housing mitigation as part of the lodging development that was not built, Staff believes that
there is not actually an increase in net leasable square footage as a result of the proposed
3
r'"".
/.;.~...
".,
'. ,
application. Therefore, Stan' feels that there is no net employee generation for this
development if the previous GMQS approvals are considered. Staff also feels that the Health
Center expansion is consistent with the essential public facility designation that was provided
to the campus in 1991 and reaffirmed in the 2004 Conference Facility approvals.
REFERRAL AGENCY ISSUES:
Upon review of the project, the Parks Department requested that the Applicant push the
proposed northwest building addition that is to be used as a yoga studio and the new hot
tub back from the edge of the slope so that the building footers and foundation are not
visible from the public trail and public open space below the site to the west. In response
to this request, the Applicant pulled the proposed hot tub (please see revised site plan
dated September 19, 2005, which was attached as part of Exhibit "B" in the first reading
packet) back from the edge of the slope so that the hillside will not be impacted and the
Parks Department has indicated that they are satisfied with the revised placement of the
hot tub.
The Applicant has further indicated that the foundation of the northwest building addition
as originally proposed in the application will not be exposed on the hillside because they
are proposing to recess the foundation at the corner of the building addition so that the
floor cantilevers past the foundation for the final five feet. As a result of the Parks
Department's concerns about the building addition, the Applicant staked the location of
the proposed building addition on the site and invited members of the Parks Department
Staff and the Planning Staff to review the location. When on the site, it became apparent
to Staff that the proposed foundation would be far enough from the edge of the slope so
as not to be visible to the open space located to the west of the subject property. To
reinforce that the foundation will be recessed at the corner of the northwest building
addition, Staff has proposed a condition of approval requiring that the building
foundation be constructed as proposed on the revised site plan dated September 19th.
ADDITIONAL REFERRAL COMMENTS:
The proposed application was referred to the City Engineering Department, Parks
Department, Water Department, Electric Department, Environmental Health Department.
Building Department, Aspen Consolidated Sanitation District, and Aspen Fire Protection
District for comments on technical issues. The remainder of the comments (DRC Comments
were attached as Exhibit "C" in the first reading packet) from the referral agencies have been
incorporated into the proposed conditions of approval as appropriate.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff believes that the proposed application meets the review standards for approving an
SPA amendment pursuant to Land Use Code Section 26.440.090. Amendments to SPA
Development Orders. Staff further believes that the proposal meets the review standards
for approving a GMQS review for an essential public facility as was originally established
in the 1991 development approvals for the Aspen Meadows. Staff recommends that City
Council approve the attached ordinance upon first, approving the requested SPA
amendment and GMQS review for an essential public facility. with the conditions
contained therein.

Resolution No. 32, Series of 2005, recommending that City Council approve the
proposed land use requests with the conditions of approval contained therein. The
Planning and Zoning Commission's resolution was attached as Exhibit "G" in the first
reading packet and the meeting minutes will be attached as Exhibit "H". The
Commission indicated that they believed the proposal satisfied the review standards and
that the scale and design of the proposal are appropriate.

Exhibit A
Review Criteria & Staff Findings
SPA Amendment.
The Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council may approve an amendment to
an approved SPA if the proposal meets the following review standards:
1. Whether the proposed development is compatible with or enhances the mix of
development in the immediate vicinity of the parcel in terms of land use, density,
height, bulk, architecture, landscaping and open space.
Staff Findinl!:
Staff believes that the proposed amendment enhances the mix of development in the
immediate vicinity. The design of the proposed additions to the Health Center building
have received conceptual HPC approvaL Additionally, Staff feels that the proposal is
consistent with the intent of the original SPA and the expansion to the Health Center that
was approved but not built in 1991. Staff finds this criterion to be met.
2. Whether sufficient public facilities and roads exist to service the proposed
development.
Staff Findiol!:
The proposed amendment will not impact the ability of the existing public facilities or
roads to serve the Health Center facility. Staff finds this criterion not to be applicable to
this application.
3. Whether the parcel proposed for development is generally suitable for development,
considering the slope, ground instability and the possibility of mud flow, rock falls,
avalanche dangers andflood hazards.
Staff Findiol!:
The building already exists and the Applicants are proposing the additions to the building
on the flattest portion of the site. Staff does not believe that the site subject to the
expansion is susceptible to mud flow, rock falls, avalanche dangers, or flood hazards.
Staff finds this criterion not to be applicable to this application.
4. Whether the proposed development creatively employs land planning techniques to
preserve significant view planes, avoid adverse environmental impacts and provide
open space, trails and !iimilar amenities for the users of the project and the public at
large.
Staff Fiodinl!:
The proposed amendment will not impact view planes or have an environmental impact
on open space or trails. Staff does feel that the proposed development employs good land
6
'"
'-,/
planning techniques in that the proposed additions are somewhat out of site from the
historic front fayade of the building which faces the courtyard of the Meadows campus.
Also, the additions are proposed in scale with the remainder of the building so as not to
obstruct any significant view planes. Staff finds this criterion to be met.
5. Whether the proposed development is in compliance with the Aspen Area
Comprehensive Plan.
Staff Findine::
Staff believes that the proposed amendment is consistent with the AACP in that the
proposal would expand recreational opportunities' in the community and provides for a
historically sensitive design that was conceptually accepted and recognized by the Historic
Preservation Commission as a positive addition to the overall Aspen Meadows Campus.
Staff finds this criterion to be met.
6. Whether the proposed development will require the expenditure of excessive public
funds to provide public facilities for the parcel, or the surrounding neighborhood.
Staff Findine::
The project does not require the expenditure of public funds or proVISIOn of public
facilities. Staff finds this criterion not to be applicable to this application.
7. Whether proposed development on slopes in excess of twenty (20) percent meet the
slope reduction and density requirements of Section 26.445.040(B)(2).
Staff Findine::
The Applicant is not proposing any development on slopes of greater than 20%.
Additionally, the density and allowable FAR for the property was already established for
the entire Specially Planned Area and the Applicant is only utilizing allowable FAR that
was approved for other uses. Staff finds this criterion not to be applicable to this
application.
8. Whether there are sufficient GMQS allotments for the proposed development.
Staff Findine::
The Applicant has concurrently applied for a GMQS Review for an essential public
facility to amend the original essential public facility status that was provided to the
property. Staff finds this criterion to be met as long as the associated growth management
application obtains approval.
7
/.,..........
"" ..."
Exhibit A
Review Criteria & Staff Findings
GMQS Review for an Essential Public Facility.
The Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council may approve a GMQS review
for an essential public facility if the proposal meets the following review standards:
a) The Community Development Director has determined the primary use and/or
structure to be an Essential Public Facility. (See definition.) Accessory uses may
also be part of an Essential Public Facility project.
Staff Findinl!:
As part of the 1991 approvals for the Aspen Meadows SPA, City Council made a
determination that the campus and all of the uses incorporated within the campus
constituted an essential public facility. The 1991 approvals allowed for an expansion of
the Health Center as is currently being proposed. That being the case, Staff feels that the
proposal to expand the Health Center is consistent with the development's designation as
an essential public facility. Staff finds this criterion to be met.
b) Sufficient growth management allotments are available to accommodate the uses,
pursuant to Section 26.470. 030. C, Development Ceiling Levels and Section
26.470. 03 O. D, Annual Development Allotments.
Staff Findinl!:
There are sufficient development allotments available for the proposed expansion of
3,327 square feet of net leasable space. The allotment ceiling of 28,000 square feet of
new net leasable space has not been reached for this year. Staff finds this criterion to be
met.
c) The proposed development is consistent with the Aspen Area Community Plan.
Staff Findinl!:
Staff believes that the proposed amendment is consistent with the AACP in that the
proposal would expand the recreational opportunities that are available to the community
while retrofitting a valuable historic resource to make it more functional for its existing and
intended use. Staff finds this criterion to be met.
d) A sufficient percentage of the employees expected to be generated by the project are
mitigated through the provision of affordable housing or cash-in-lieu thereof in a
manner acceptable to the City Council. The Employee Generation Rates may be
used as a guideline but each operation shall be analyzed for its unique employee
needs. The City Council may waive, or partially waive, affordable housing
mitigation requirements as is deemed appropriate and warranted for the purpose of
promoting civic uses and in consideration of broader community goals.
8
"
,
~
Staff Findinl!::
As was discussed in the staff memorandum, all of the net leasable space proposed for this
expansion was previously exempted from employee housing mitigation as part of other
development plans that were approved but never constructed within the Aspen Meadows
development. Staff feels that the proposal does not warrant affordable housing mitigation
given the prior approvals that are in place for the net leasable square footage to be used.
Staff finds this criterion to be met.
e) Free-Market residential floor area on the parcel is accompanied by affordable
housing units or mitigation pursuant to 26.470.040.C.6, unless otherwise restricted
in the zone district. The City Council may waive, partially waive, or establish a
different limitation as is deemed appropriate and warranted for the purpose of
promoting civic uses and in consideration of broader community goals.
Staff Findinl!::
The Applicant is not proposing the addition of free-market residential floor area as part of
this proposal. Staff finds this criterion not to be applicable.
1) The project represents minimal additional demand on public infrastructure or such
additional demand is mitigated through improvements proposed as part of the
project. Public infrastructure includes, but is not limited to, water supply, sewage
treatment, energy and communication utilities, drainage control, fire and police
protection, solid waste disposal, parking, and road and transit services.
Staff Findinl!::
Staff does not believe that the proposed amendment will place considerable additional
demand on public infrastructure or necessitate additional public improvements. The
applicable referral agencies have reviewed the proposed amendment and have indicated
that sufficient public infrastructure exists to accommodate the proposed development.
StafI finds this criterion to be met.

CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARING:
MEADOWS SPA AMENDMENT FOR HEALTH CENTER EXPANSION
Jasmine Tygre opened the continued public hearing from October 4th for the
Meadows SPA Amendment. Notice was provided on October 4th.
James Lindt stated the application included an amendment to the Aspen Meadows
SP A as well as a Growth Management Review for an essential public facility to do
an approximately 3300 square foot addition to the Meadows Health Center; P&Z
shall be the recommending body to City Council on the land use requests
associated with this application.
Lindt commented that the Master Plan for development for the Meadows SPA was
approved in 1991, which approved reconstruction of60 lodge units and 50 new
1
ASPEN PLAQING & ZONING COMMISS~ MEETING
Minutes October 18. 2005
lodge units. It also approved the renovation of the existing restaurant as well as an
1800 square foot expansion to the health center at that point in time; most of those 0
approvals were constructed with the exception of the health center expansion and
one lodge building of about 13,000 square feet. Lindt said the FAR from that :::::c
13,000 square foot lodge was reallocated for the construction of the conference )>
center currently being built on the site; there was an additional amount of square '"T1
footage allocated to the health center at that time now equaling 3300 square feet, .....
which was subject to the SPA Amendment for design and site review.
Lindt stated that it was a partial interior remodel to the health center; the existing
maintenance facility will be relocated to an underground extension to the parking
garage. Lindt stated there would be an extension to the rear of the health center
building for a Pilates/Yoga studio, an indoor/outdoor Jacuzzi area and a new
leisure pool. HPC reviewed the application and found the design to be consistent
to the character of the building and approved the conceptual design of the building.
The expansion was one story in height, lower than the existing gym portion of the
building.
Lindt stated the Growth Management implications were accounted for in the
previous approvals; waivers were given to employee housing mitigation in 1991
SPA and staff believes that no mitigation be warranted for this application. Lindt
said Parks stated concern for the footers being seen from the open space to the west
so there was a revised site plan as part of exhibit B in the packet with the floor
cantilevered over the foundation, which was pulled back. The Parks Department
approved this revised plan. Staff believed that the review standards have been met
for an SPA Amendment and recommend approval with the conditions in the
proposed Resolution.
Jim Curtis, represented the Institute, introduced Olivia Emory from A-4 Architects.
Curtis stated that there was a tree lined entry on Meadows Road, which was an
improvement to the entrance of the complex. Curtis said the Institute broke ground
in September for the new conference meeting hall facility; that will be the last
major new construction on the campus with a completion date of December 2006.
Curtis reiterated the 1991 SPA approval for the Master Plan without changes to the
facades of the buildings and the additions were to the backsides of the buildings.
Curtis stated the resolution as prepared was fine with the applicant.
Ruth Kruger asked about the maintenance moving to the parking garage. Lindt
replied maintenance was moving to the parking garage extension, which was
completely underground. Kruger asked ifthere was going to be a loss of parking.
Lindt answered there would not be a loss of parking within the Meadows SPA
2
ASPEN PLA~ING & ZONING COMMISS~ MEETING
Minutes October 18, 2005
because the applicants were proposing to loose 7 spaces in the garage but between
the two tennis courts there would be 8 spaces. Lindt noted there was a net increase
of one space.
Dylan Johns asked if the model shows the new configuration as far as the
replacement and expansion of where the maintenance area was located. Olivia
Emory responded the area where maintenance was now located would become
health club.
Steve Skadron asked if the new maintenance would be placed where the
construction that was currently going on. Curtis replied yes, under that area; the
dirt was stockpiled on site for the backfill for the new conference facility. Skadron
asked what made this site historic. Lindt replied that it was designated historic
with Herbert Bayer and Bahaus Architecture. Allgaier stated that the landscape
was also considered important. Skadron asked if the new architecture mimicked
the old or carry forward the Bahaus Design. Emory responded that it was
intentionally different so it was not confused with the original, which was what
HPC approved; each piece of architecture could be read as of its own time, it was
sympathetic and similar to the underlying architecture. Skadron asked if the new
addition carried the historic designation. Lindt replied that the new additions did
as well. Skadron said that his goal was preserving the parcel and wanted to make
sure that the underlying zoning (Academic) had some restrictions that prevented
unfettered development in the future.
Tygre stated that the 1991 Master Plan process was lengthy with part of the goal
was to preserve the rights of the Institute to continue to function; over the years
their goal was to have conference facilities for their participants and the health
club, which was an integral part of the original SPA.
No public comments.
MOTION: Steve Skadron moved to approve Resolution #32, series of2005,
recommending that City Council approve with conditions, an SPA amendment and
GMQS review for an essential public facility to allow for an addition of 3,327
square feet to Aspen Meadows Health Center located at 880 Meadows Road, City
and townsite of Aspen; seconded by Brian Speck. Roll call vote: Johns, yes;
Speck, yes; Rowland, yes; Kruger, yes; Skadron, yes; Tygre, yes; approved 6-0.

RE:
DATE:
November 14,2005
PROJECT: Aspen Meadows Health Center Expansion
ApPLICANT: The Aspen Institute.
ADDRESS: 880 Meadows Road.
REQUEST: The Applicant is requesting a Specially Planned Area (SPA)
Amendment and a GMQS Review for an Essential Public
Facility to expand the existing Aspen Meadows Health
Center by approximately 3,300 square feet, using primarily
allowable FAR that was approved in the past but not built.
EXISTING ZONING: Academic with a Specially Planned Area (SPA) Overlay.
LAND USE SPA Amendment and an amendment to existing GMQS
REQlIESTS: Review for an Essential Public Facility.
STAFF Staff recommends that City Council approve the attached
RECOMMENDATION: ordinance upon first reading, approving the proposed SPA
amendment and GMQS review for an essential public
facilitv .
PLANNING AND The Planning and Zoning Commission approved Resolution
ZONING COMMISSION No. 32, Series of 2005, recommending that City Council
RECOMMENDATION: approve the requested SPA amendment and GMQS review
for essential public facility with the conditions contained
therein.
BACKGROllND:
In 1991, the Aspen Institute, the Music Associates of Aspen, and the Aspen Center for
Physics applied for and received approval of a Specially Planned Area (SPA) to make
improvements to the Aspen Mcadows Campus and surrounding areas. The Aspen
Meadows SPA provided a master plan for the area and also allowed for certain expansion
potential within the SPA. The SPA approval (which has received several subsequent
extensions of the vested rights) granted approval of an expansion to the existing Health
Center (please see vicinity map attached as Exhibit "F" for location) and allocated
approximately I ,800 square feet of FAR that was never used.
Additionally, as part of the recent review of the new conference center and meeting
facility at the Aspen Meadows that gained City Council approval in December of 2004,
an additional 1,500 square feet of approved but unbuilt FAR was allocated for use in the
Health Center expansion. Therefore, the Applicant has requested an SPA amendment
approval for the expansion of the Health Center by 3,327 square feet. In conjunction with
this application, the Applicant submitted and received approval of an insubstantial SPA
amendment from the Community Development Director to move the maintenance facility
that currently exists adjacent to the health center to within a subgrade extension to the
existing parking garage on the site.
LAND USE REQUESTS:
In order to construct the expansion to the existing Health Center, the Applicant requires
the following land use actions:
. SPA Amendment to the approved Aspen Meadows SPA.
. GMQS Review for an Essential Public Facility.
. Certificate of Appropriateness for Major HPC Development (Conceptual HPC has
been granted pursuant to HPC Resolution No. 36, Series of 2005, Resolution
attached as Exhibit "D")
REVIEW PROCEDURE:
Pursuant to Land Use Code Section 26.440.090(B), Amendment to an SPA Development
Order, City Council shall approve, approve with conditions, or deny the requested SPA
amendment after considering recommendation from the Planning and Zoning
Commission. Also, according to Land Use Code Section 26.470.040(D)(3), Growth
Management Review for an Essential Public Facility, City Council shall approve,
approve with conditions, or deny the requested growth management review for an
essential public facility after considering a recommendation from the Planning and
Zoning Commission.
STAFF COMMENTS:
SPA Amendment
In reviewing the SPA amendment request to expand the Health Center by 3,327 square
feet (1.800 SF + 1,500 SF +27 SF), Staff believes that all of the floor area to be added to
the Health Center was already contemplated to be built within the SPA, just in a different
form. As was explained in the background section of this memorandum, 1.800 square
feet of the FAR proposed in this expansion was approved to be added to the Health
Center as part of the original SPA approval in 1991. An additional 1,500 square feet of
FAR proposed for this expansion was originally approved to be utilized as part of a
2
lodging building that was not built, but was reallocated for the future expansion of the
Health Center as part of the 2004 approval to construct the new Conference Facility
pursuant to Ordinance No. 45, Series of 2004 (attached as Exhibit "E"). Finally, twenty-
seven (27) square feet of FAR that was allowed, but unused in the development of the
new Conference Facility is proposed to be allocated for the Health Club expansion.
Staff believes that the impact of the expansion on parking and traffic demand was already
contemplated since 1,800 square feet of the Health Center expansion was reviewed and
approved in 1991, and the other 1,527 square feet of the expansion was to be constructed
as lodging development in the 1991 approvals. Staff believes that using the 1,527 square
feet of,FAR that was originally dedicated for lodging and was reallocated for the Health
Center actually reduces the impact of the development since lodging is typically a more
auto intensive use than that of the proposed Health Center expansion, given that the
Health Center is primarily used by people that are already at the campus for other reasons
(staying at the lodge, attending a conference, etc.) and not as a destination facility in
itself.
The insubstantial SPA amendment that was submitted and approved by the Community
Development Director in conjunction with this application yields a reduction by seven (7)
parking spaces in the Aspen Meadows parking garage due to the relocation of the
maintenance facility from the Health Center building to a subgrade extension of the
parking garage. However, the Applicant received approval to add eight (8) formal parking
spaces to the development between the existing tennis courts so that there is not a net loss
in the amount of parking spaces within the development.
GMQS Implications
The Aspen Meadows Campus originally received a GMQS exemption for an essential public
facility in conjunction with receiving SPA approval in 1991. The Applicant is requesting to
amend the essential public facility allotments that were granted to the facility to allow for the
1,800 square feet of net leasable space that was approved to be added to the Health Center in
a different site-specific design than was originally approved in 1991. The Applicant further
would like an amendment to the original allotments to allow for the 1,500 square feet of net
leasable space that was originally approved as lodging to be added to the Health Center as
part of this development application, as was contemplated in the 2004 approvals to construct
the Conference Center.
In reviewing the request, typically it would be anticipated that an expansion of net leasable
square footage would generate between 3.5 and 4.1 employees per 1,000 square feet of new
net leasable square feet and the Applicant would be responsible for providing affordable
housing mitigation for 60% of those employees generated. However. because 1.800 square
feet of exempt net leasable square footage was approved for an addition to the Health Center
in 1991 but not built and another 1,527 square feet was previously exempted from employee
housing mitigation as part of the lodging development that was not built, Staff believes that
there is not actually an increase in net leasable square footage as a result of the proposed
application. Therefore, Staff feels that there is no net employee generation for this
development if the previous GMQS approvals are considered. Staff also feels that the Health
3
_.,~
'.-...,
Center expansion is consistent with the essential public facility designation that was provided
to the campus in 1991 and reaffirmed in the 2004 Conference Facility approvals.
REFERRAL AGENCY ISSUES:
Upon review of the project, the Parks Department requested that the Applicant push the
proposed northwest building addition that is to be used as a yoga studio and the new hot
tub back from the edge of the slope so that the building footers and foundation are not
visible from the public trail and public open space below the site to the west. In response
to this request, the Applicant pulled the proposed hot tub (please see revised site plan
dated September 19, 2005, which is attached as part of Exhibit "B") back from the edge
of the slope so that the hillside will not be impacted and the Parks Department has
indicated that they are satisfied with the revised placement of the hot tub.
The Applicant has further indicated that the foundation ofthe northwest building addition
as originally proposed in the application will not be exposed on the hillside because they
are proposing to recess the foundation at the corner of the building addition so that the
Hoor cantilevers past the foundation for the final five feet. As a result of the Parks
Department's concerns about the building addition. the Applicant staked the location of
the proposed building addition on the site and invited members of the Parks Department
Staff and the Planning Staff to review the location. When on the site, it became apparent
to StafI that the proposed foundation would be far enough from the edge of the slope so
as not to be visible to the open space located to the west of the subject property. To
reinforce that the foundation will be recessed at the corner of the northwest building
addition, Staff has proposed a condition of approval requiring that the building
foundation be constructed as proposed on the revised site plan dated September 19th.
ADDITIONAL REFERRAL COMMENTS:
The proposed application was referred to the City Engineering Department. Parks
Department. Water Department, Electric Department, Environmental Health Department,
Building Department, Aspen Consolidated Sanitation District, and Aspen Fire Protection
District for comments on technical issues. The remainder of the comments (DRC Comments
are attached as Exhibit "C") from the referral agencies have been incorporated into the
proposed conditions of approval as appropriate.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff believes that the proposed application meets the review standards for approving an
SPA amendment pursuant to Land Use Code Section 26.440.090, Amendments to SPA
Development Orders. Staff further believes that the proposal meets the review standards
for approving a GMQS review for an essential public facility as was originally established
in the 1991 development approvals for the Aspen Meadows. Staff recommends that City
Council approve the attached ordinance upon first, approving the requested SPA
amendment and GMQS review for an essential public facility, with the conditions
contained therein.

Exhibit A
Review Criteria & Staff Findings
SPA Amendment.
The Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council may approve an amendment to
an approved SPA if the proposal meets the following review standards:
1. Whether the proposed development is compatible with or enhances the mix of
development in the immediate vicinity of the parcel in terms of land use, density,
height, bulk, architecture, landscaping and open space.
Staff Findinl!.:
Staff believes that the proposed amendment enhances the mix of development in the
immediate vicinity. The design of the proposed additions to the Health Center building
have received conceptual HPC approval. Additionally, Staff feels that the proposal is
consistent with the intent of the original SPA and the expansion to the Health Center that
was approved but not built in 1991. Staff finds this criterion to be met.
2. Whether sufficient public facilities and roads exist to service the proposed
development.
Staff Findinl!.:
The proposed amendment will not impact the ability of the existing public facilities or
roads to serve the Health Center facility. Staff finds this criterion not to be applicable to
this application.
3. Whether the parcel proposed for development is generally suitable for development,
considering the slope, ground instability and the possibility of mud flow, rock falls,
avalanche dangers andflood hazards.
Staff Findinl!.:
The building already exists and the Applicants are proposing the additions to the building
on the flattest portion of the site. Staff does not believe that the site subject to the
expansion is susceptible to mud flow, rock falls, avalanche dangers, or flood hazards.
Staff finds this criterion not to be applicable to this application.
4. Whether the proposed development creatively employs land planning techniques to
preserve significant view planes, avoid adverse environmental impacts and provide
open space, trails and similar amenities for the users of the project and the public at
large.
Staff Findinl!.:
The proposed amendment will not impact view planes or have an environmental impact
on open space or trails. Staff does feel that the proposed development employs good land
planning techniques in that the proposed additions are somewhat out of site from the
historic front fayade of the building which faces the courtyard of the Meadows campus.
6
,..,
~
Also, the additions are proposed in scale with the remainder of the building so as not to
obstruct any significant view planes. Staff finds this criterion to be met.
5. Whether the proposed development is in compliance with the Aspen Area
Comprehensive Plan.
Staff Findinl!::
Staff believes that the proposed amendment is consistent with the AACP in that the
proposal would expand recreational opportunities in the community and provides for a
historically sensitive design that was conceptually accepted and recognized by the Historic
Preservation Commission as a positive addition to the overall Aspen Meadows Campus.
Staff finds this criterion to be met.
6. Whether the proposed development will require the expenditure of excessive public
funds to provide public facilities for the parcel, or the surrounding neighborhood.
Staff Findinl!::
The project does not require the expenditure of public funds or provision of public
facilities. Staff finds this criterion not to be applicable to this application.
7. Whether proposed development on slopes in excess of twenty (20) percent meet the
slope reduction and density requirements of Section 26.445.040(B)(2).
Staff Findinl!::
The Applicant is not proposing any development on slopes of greater than 20%.
Additionally, the density and allowable FAR for the property was already established for
the entire Specially Planned Area and the Applicant is only utilizing allowable FAR that
was approved for other uses. Staff finds this criterion not to be applicable to this
application.
8. Whether there are sufficient GMQS allotments for the proposed development.
Staff Findinl!::
The Applicant has concurrently applied for a GMQS Review for an essential public
facility to amend the original essential public facility status that was provided to the
property. Staff finds this criterion to be met as long as the associated growth
management application obtains approval.

......."
Exhibit A
Review Criteria & Staff Findings
GMQS Review for an Essential Public Facility.
The Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council may approve a GMQS review
for an essential public facility if the proposal meets the following review standards:
a) The Community Development Director has determined the primary use and/or
structure to be an Essential Public Facility. (See definition.) Accessory uses may
also be part of an Essential Public Facility project.
Staff Findin2:
As part of the 1991 approvals for the Aspen Meadows SPA, City Council made a
determination that the campus and all of the uses incorporated within the campus
constituted an essential public facility. The 1991 approvals allowed for an expansion of
the Health Center as is currently being proposed. That being the case, Staff feels that the
proposal to expand the Health Center is consistent with the development's designation as
an essential public facility. Staff finds this criterion to be met.
b) Sufficient growth management allotments are available to accommodate the uses,
pursuant to Section 26.470. 030. C, Development Ceiling Levels and Section
26.470.030.D, Annual Development Allotments.
Staff Findin2:
There are sufficient development allotments available for the proposed expansion of
3,327 square feet of net leasable space. The allotment ceiling of 28,000 square feet of
new net leasable space has not been reached for this year. Staff finds this criterion to be
met.
c) The proposed development is consistent with the Aspen Area Community Plan.
Staff Findin2:
Staff believes that the proposed amendment is consistent with the AACP in that the
proposal would expand the recreational opportunities that are available to the community
while retrofitting a valuable historic resource to make it more functional for its existing and
intended use. Staff fmds this criterion to be met.
d) A sufficient percentage of the employees expected to be generated by the project are
mitigated through the provision of affordable housing or cash-in-lieu thereof in a
manner acceptable to the City CounciL The Employee Generation Rates may be
used as a guideline but each operation shall be analyzed for its unique employee
needs. The City Council may waive, or partially waive, affordable housing
mitigation requirements as is deemed appropriate and warranted for the purpose of
promoting civic uses and in consideration of broader community goals.
8
-
",
Staff Findinl!::
As was discussed in the staff memorandum, all of the net leasable space proposed for this
expansion was previously exempted from employee housing mitigation as part of other
development plans that were approved but never constructed within the Aspen Meadows
development. Staff feels that the proposal does not warrant affordable housing mitigation
given the prior approvals that are in place for the net leasable square footage to be used.
Staff finds this criterion to be met.
e) Free-Market residential floor area on the parcel is accompanied by affordable
housing units or mitigation pursuant to 26.470.040. C. 6, unless otherwise restricted
in the zone district. The City Council may waive, partially waive, or establish a
different limitation as is deemed appropriate and warranted for the purpose of
promoting civic uses and in consideration of broader community goals.
Staff Findinl!::
The Applicant is not proposing the addition of free-market residential floor area as part of
this proposal. Staff finds this criterion not to be applicable.
f) The project represents minimal additional demand on public infrastructure or such
additional demand is mitigated through improvements proposed as part of the
project. Public infrastructure includes, but is not limited to, water supply, sewage
treatment, energy and communication utilities, drainage control, fire and police
protection, solid waste disposa~ parking, and road and transit services.
Staff Findinl!::
Staff does not believe that the proposed amendment will place considerable additional
demand on public infrastructure or necessitate additional public improvements. The
applicable referral agencies have reviewed the proposed amendment and have indicated
that sufficient public infrastructure exists to accommodate the proposed development.
Staff finds this criterion to be met.

MEMORANDUM
To: Development Review Committee
From: Alex Evonitz, Com. Dev. Engineer
Date: August 24, 2005
Re: Aspen Meadows Health Center SPA Amendment
Parcel ID # 2735-121-29008
Attendees; Alex Evonitz, Com. Dev. Eng.: James Lindt, Com. Dev Planning; Nick
Adeh, Engineering; Ed Van Walraven, Aspen Fire; Denis Murray, Building; Phil
Overeynder, Water/Electric; Brian Flynn, Parks; Jim Curtis, Curtis Associates; Olivia
Emery, A4 Architects.
The Development Review Committee has reviewed the Aspen Meadows Health Center
SPA Amendment at their August 24,2005 meeting and has compiled the following
comments:
General:
Changes to the existing facility include some interior remodeling for locker rooms
and changes in use for other areas. Additions to the existing structure are also part of the
current proposaL Proposed on the northwest side of the building is new construction to
facilitate Pilates and yoga uses. The northeast side will see the installation of an
indoor/outdoor Jacuzzi. The final proposed use change is the demolition ofthe existing
maintenance facility that also resided on the northeast side of the building.
An addition to a portion of the existing parking garage is part of the current plan.
This will become the relocated maintenance facility. The loss of an estimated eight (8)
parking spaces will be relocated adj acent and between the existing tennis courts near the
entrance to the compound.
Planner - James Lindt;
. The HPC has voiced concerns about the relocated parking between the existing
tennis courts because of the visual impacts.
. There no issues related to stream margin concerns.
. Exterior lighting changes will have to meet current standards.
Building Department - Denis Murray;
. The following plans must be submitted as part of the building permit application:
Excavation Stabilization Plan, Drainage and Soil Reports and a Construction
Management Plan (CMP). The CMP at the time of pre-submittal may help to
minimize comments later.

. Fencing around the current lap pool and the proposed leisure pool will need to
brought to current IBC standards. The Spa Jacuzzi falls into the category of a pool
also.
. In the area of the Jacuzzi, concern for the proximity to the adjacent steep slope
will need to be addressed to prevent potential falls down the slope.
. Stabilization in the areas of the leisure pool and the Jacuzzi should be included in
any stability report.
. Full access to both the Jacuzzi and leisure poll is required to be ADA compliant.
This includes access into and out of both new water features.
. Current electrical services may need to be brought current as part of this work.
The same holds true for the mechanical facilities. These can be done
independently from the current systems if desired.
. A discussion regarding the reopening of an old sundeck ensued. It was determined
that ifless then 250 s.f. was reopened that use would be allowed. The use of the
existing spiral staircase is possible as long as railings are current.
. The maintenance facility relocation may present issues of use separation.
Depending on the equipment and materials being stored several separation
concerns are triggered.
. Updating of the current ramps serving the lower level of the garage would be a
good option at this ti1ne. The possibility of a limited use limited access elevator
may be necessary.
Fire Protection District - Ed Van Walraven;
. Sprinklers and alarms per code are required for the building. The new system
modifications need to tie into the current systems main panel.
. The necessary line sizing for sprinklers and water service will need to be
submitted.
Engineering Department - Nick Adeh;
. The City Engineer's pre-published Standards for Design and Construction apply
to this project.
. Attention to potential storm water runoff and potential slope stability need to be
acknowledged.
. Included in the CMP should be the following topics; construction traffic routing,
erosion BMP's, soil stabilization, drainage impacts, construction phasing plan.
The construction traffic routing should be Meadows Avenue to Seventh Street and
finally to SH 82.
. That CMP should be made a condition of approval.
. Drywells will likely be part of the drainage design. Those facilities should be well
away from the abutting steep slope.
. The City Engineer and Community Development Engineer need to be involved
early in the design effort to minimize potential pit falls in the permit application.

Parks - Brian Flynn;
. Tree Removal: An approved tree permit is required prior to approval of the
building permit. An approved tree permit requires a proposed landscape plan
identifying trees for removal and means and schedule for mitigation. Please
contact the City Forester for more information 920-5126. Per the SPAthe trees
removed will be replaced with trees up to equal caliper inch.
. Tree Protection: A vegetation protection fence shall be erected at the drip line of
each individual tree or groupings of trees remaining on site.
o A formal plan indicating the location of the tree protection will be required
in the bldg permit set.
o There will be no storage of construction materials, backfill, tools or
construction traffic inside of the protective fence.
o There is no excavation or disturbance of the native area inside ofthe
protective fence.
o This fence must be inspected by the city forester or hislher designee (920-
5120) before any construction activities are to commence.
. Additional Tree Protection: Due to the location of excavation and work the parks
Department will require and work with the Aspen Meadows to identify specific
root protection measures to be used through out the length of the project. The
project representative shall meet with the Parks Department to work out these
details and show these plans in the building plan set.
. Access: Parks is requiring a detailed plan outlining access to and from the
construction area. Access plans should detail all protection vegetation measures
and construction staging areas.
. Erosion Control: Silt fencing shall be installed along the top of slope. Silt
fencing shall be installed to City of Aspen standards. Additional erosion control
measures will be needed in order to prevent any materials, backfill and debris
from sliding down the hillside.
. NW Elevation: Parks is reconnnending that Community Development require the
building and hot tub be moved away from the slope in order to prevent negative
impact to the native vegetation. Additionally, as planned Parks feels the building
footer will be visible from the public trail and open space located below the site.
Parks is concerned with the protection of the slope and how the new additions will
affect the native vegetation on the hillside and views form the open space below.
Parks would like to see an elevation of the building and hot tub area.
. Native Restoration: is required on all hillside areas disturbed during the
installation of any proposed construction activities. A restoration plan should be
developed for the disturbed areas arO\md the leisure pool, new hot tub and studio
balcony and building.
. Tap Locations: when planning for new water line and sewer taps in both phases
(athktic club and maintenance facility) plan around all tree drip ones and existing

. On the proposed service plan for the water system, the proposlli to serve the free-
standing townhomes through a common line routed through the Aspen Club
commercilli building does not comply with Section 25.12.1 00 of the municipal
code. A separate service is required for each of these units. Extension of and
looping for the water main may be required to establish water service to the
proposed development. This will also improve fire protection for the proposed
development. .
. Only a single wall penetration will be allowed for water service and fire.
. Coordination between the waterline relocation that is part of the Conference
Center is necessary to ensure no conflicts with lliignment and depths.
. Service for both current projects is available.

Zoning Officer - Sara Oates;
. The Aspen Meadows is seeking a SPA amendment for an addition and
modifications to the Aspen Meadows Hellith Center. The zoning for the Aspen
Meadows Health Center is Academic (A) with a SPA overlay. Dimensional
requirements were set out in the originlli SPA plan in 1991 and the applicant is
requesting modifications to the plan concerning the FAR for the Hellith Center.
. It is does not appear the height limit of the Aspen Meadows and associated
buildings were established and a height limit should be specified in this SPA
approvlli.
. Staff cannot determine compliance with the dimensionlli requirements, as the
plans provided are not to scllie. Zoning compliance will be determined at the time
of building permit submittal.
. The applicant is required to meet Section 26.575.150, Outdoor Lighting and
Section 26.510, Signs.
Community Development Engineer - Alex Evonitz;
. A coordinated schedule for the relationship between both construction projects is
being required. Consideration to the issues of construction deliveries and material
storage need coordination.
. Drainage for the two projects must also be a coordinated design.
. No encroachment licenses will be necessary since the site is llil on private
property.
Parking - No attendance

. I will not be doing a full report for the meadows since EH can only comment on
the 27 s.1'. ADA bathroom expansion.
. Given the size of the expansion from previous approvals, EH recommends
covered bike storage to encourage locllis to bike to the club and not drive.

connections (roof, foundation, perimeter, patio drains) are not connected to the
sanitary sewer system.
· On-site utility plans require approvlli by ACSD.
. Oil and Sand separators are required for parking garages and vehicle maintenance
establishments.
o Driveway entrance drains must drain to drywells.
o Elevator shafts drains must flow thru o/s interceptor
. The open area next to the maintenance facility will have to drain to a separate oil
and sand interceptor that will then direct the water flows to a drywell or storm
sewer system.
. Below grade development may require installation of a pumping system.
· One tap is allowed for each building. Shared service line agreements will be
required where more than one unit is served by a single service line.
· If additionlli taps are needed to serve the spa or maintenance facility, an additional
full tap fee will be charged to the development.
· Permanent improvements are prohibited in sewer easements or right of ways.
Landscaping plans will require approval by ACSD where soft and hard
landscaping may impact public ROW or easements to be dedicated to the district.
· All ACSD fees must be paid prior to the issuance of a building permit. Peg in our
office can develop an estimate for this project once detailed plans have been made
available to the district.
. Where additionlli development would produce flows that wowd exceed the
planned reserve capacity of the existing system (collection system and or
treatment system) an additional proportionate fee will be assessed to eliminate the
downstream collection system or treatment capacity constraint. Additionlli
proportionate fees would be collected over time from all development in the area
of concern in order to fund the improvements needed.
. Any glycol heating and snow melt system must be designed to prohibit and
discharge of glycol to any portion of the public and private sanitary sewer system.
The glycol storage areas must have approved contaimnent facilities.

RE:
Aspen Meadows Health Center- SPA Amendment and GMQS Review for
an Essential Public Facility- Public Hearinl!:
DATE:
October 4, 2005
PROJECT: Aspen Meadows Health Center Expansion
ApPLICANT: The Aspen Institute.
ADDRESS: 880 Meadows Road. .
REQUEST: The Applicant is requesting a Specially Planned Area (SPA)
Amendment and a GMQS Review for an Essential Public
Facility to expand the existing Aspen Meadows Health
Center using primarily allowable FAR that was approved in
the past but not built.
EXISTING ZONING: Academic with a Specially Planned Area (SPA) Overlay.
LAND USE SPA Amendment and an amendment to existing GMQS
REQUESTS: Review for an Essential Public Facility.
STAFF Staff recommends that the Planning and Zoning Commission
RECOMMENDATION: approve the attached resolution, recommending that City
Council approve the proposed SPA amendment and GMQS
review for an essential public facilitv.
BACKGROUND:
In 1991, the Aspen Institute, the Music Associates of Aspen, and the Aspen Center for
Physics applied for and received approval of a Specially Planned Area (SPA) to make
improvements to the' Aspen Meadows Campus and surrounding areas. The Aspen
Meadows SPA provided a master plan for the area and also allowed for certain expansion
potential within the SPA. The SPA approval (which has received several subsequent
extensions of the vested rights) granted approval of an expansion to the existing Health
Center (please see vicinity map attached as Exhibit "F" for location) and allocated
approximately 1 ,800 square feet of FAR that was never used.
I
~<.....,...
"''''
Additionally, as part of the recent review of the new conference center and meeting
facility at the Aspen Meadows that gained City Council approval in December of 2004,
an additional 1,500 square feet of approved but unbuilt FAR was allocated for use in the
Health Center expansion. Therefore, the Applicant has requested an SPA amendment
approval for the expansion of the Health Center. In conjunction with this application, the
Applicant submitted and received approval of an insubstantial SPA amendment from the
Community Development Director to move the maintenance facility that currently exists
adjacent to the health center to within a subgrade extension to the existing parking garage
on the site.
LAND USE REQUESTS:
In order to construct the expansion to the existing Health Center, the Applicant requires
the following land use actions:
. SPA Amendment to the approved Aspen Meadows SPA.
. GMQS Review for an Essential Public Facility.
. Certificate of Appropriateness for Major HPC Development (Conceptual HPC has
been granted pursuant to HPC Resolution No. 36, Series of 2005, Resolution
attached as Exhibit "D")
REVIEW PROCEDURE:
Pursuant to Land Use Code Section 26.440.090(8), Amendment to an SPA Development
Order, the Planning and Zoning Commission shall be the recommending body to City
Council on the requested SPA amendment. Also, according to Land Use Code Section
26.470.040(D)(3), Growth Management Review for an Essential Public Facility, the
Planning and Zoning Commission shall be the recommending body to City Council on
the requested growth management review for an essential public facility.
STAFF COMMENTS:
SPA Amendment
In reviewing the SPA amendment request, Staff believes that all of the floor area to be
added to the Health Center was already contemplated to be built within the SPA, just in a
different form. As was explained in the background section of this memorandum, 1,800
square feet of the FAR proposed in this expansion was approved to be added to the
Health Center as part of the original SPA approval in 1991. An additional 1,500 square
feet of FAR proposed for this expansion was originally approved to be util ized as part of
a lodging building that was not build, but was reallocated for the future expansion of the
Health Center as part of the 2004 approval to construct the new Conference Facility
pursuant to Ordinance No. 45, Series of 2004 (attached as Exhibit "E"). Finally, twenty-
seven (27) square feet of FAR that was allowed, but unused in the development of the
new Conference Facility is proposed to be allocated for the Health Club expansion.
Staff believes that the impact of the expansion on parking and traffic demand was already
contemplated since 1,800 square feet of the Health Center expansion was reviewed and
approved in 1991, and the other 1,527 square feet of the expansion was to be constructed
2
f.....
" /
'<, ,;;'
as lodging development in the 1991 approvals. Staff believes that using the 1,527 square
feet of FAR that was originally dedicated for lodging and was reallocated for the Health
Center actually reduces the impact of the development since lodging is typically a more
auto intensive use than that of the proposed Health Center expansion, given that the
Health Center is primarily used by people that are already at the campus for other reasons
(staying at the lodge, attending a conference, etc.) and not as a destination facility in
itself.
The insubstantial SPA amendment that was submitted and approved by the Community
Development Director in conjunction with this application yields a reduction by seven (7)
parking spaces in the Aspen Meadows parking garage due to the relocation of the
maintenance facility from the Health Center building to a subgrade extension of the
parking garage. However, the Applicant received approval to add eight (8) formal parking
spaces to the development between the existing tennis courts so that there is not a net loss
in the amount of parking spaces within the development.
GMQS Implications
The Aspen Meadows Campus originally received a GMQS exemption for an essential public
facility in conjunction with receiving SPA approval in 199 I. The Applicant is requesting to
amend the essential public facility allotments that were granted to the facility to allow for the
1,800 square feet of net leasable space that was approved to be added to the Health Center in
a different site-specific design than was originally approved in 1991. The Applicant further
would like an amendment to the original allotments to allow for the 1,500 square feet of net
leasable space that was originally approved as lodging to be added to the Health Center as
part of this development application, as was contemplated in the 2004 approvals to construct
the Conference Center.
In reviewing the request, typically it would be anticipated that an expansion of net leasable
square footage would generate between 3.5 and 4.1 employees per 1,000 square feet of new
net leasable square feet and the Applicant would be responsible for providing affordable
housing mitigation for 60% of those employees generated. However, because 1,800 square
feet of exempt net leasable square footage was approved for an addition to the Health Center
in 1991 but not built and another 1,527 square feet was previously exempted from employee
housing mitigation as part of the lodging development that was not built, Staff believes that
there is not actually an increase in net leasable square footage as a result of the proposed
application. Therefore, Stafffeels that there is no employee housing mitigation warranted for
this development if the previous GMQS exemptions that were approved but not used are
allowed to be transferred to the currently proposed Health Center expansion. Staff also feels
that the Health Center expansion is consistent with the essential public facility designation
that was provided to the campus in 1991 and reaffirmed in the 2004 Conference Facility
approvals.
REFERRAL AGENCY ISSUES:
Upon review of the project, the Parks Department requested that the Applicant push the
proposed northwest building addition that is to be used as a yoga studio and the new hot
tub back from the edge of the slope so that the building footers and foundation are not
3
.""",
'--""
" ,
,",",
visible from the public trail and public open space below the site to the west. In response
to this request, the Applicant pulled the proposed hot tub (please see revised site plan
dated September 19, 2005, which is attached as part of Exhibit "8") back from the edge
of the slope so that the hillside will not be impacted and the Parks Department has
indicated that they are satisfied with the revised placement ofthe hot tub.
The Applicant has further indicated that the foundation of the northwest building addition
as originally proposed in the application will not be exposed on the hillside because they
are proposing to recess the foundation at the corner of the building addition so that the
t100r cantilevers past the foundation for the final five feet. As a result of the Parks
Department's concerns about the building addition, the Applicant staked the location of
the proposed building addition on the site and invited members of the Parks Department
Staff and the Planning Staff to review the location. When on the site, it became apparent
to Staff that the proposed foundation would be far enough from the edge of the slope so
as not to be visible to the open space located to the west of the subject property. To
reinforce that the foundation will be recessed at the corner of the northwest building
addition, Staff has proposed a condition of approval requiring that the building
foundation be constructed as proposed on the revised site plan dated September 19th.
ADDITIONAL REFERRAL COMMENTS:
The proposed application was referred to the City Engineering Department, Parks
Department, Water Department, Electric Department, Environmental Health Department.
Building Department, Aspen Consolidated Sanitation District, and Aspen Fire Protection
District for comments on technical issues. The remainder of the comments (DRC Comments
are attached as Exhibit "C") from the referral agencies have been incorporated into the
proposed conditions of approval as appropriate.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff believes that the proposed application meets the review standards for approving an
SPA amendment pursuant to Land Use Code Section 26.440.090, Amendments to SPA
Development Orders. Staff further believes that the proposal meets the review standards
for approving a GMQS review for an essential public facility as was originally established
in the 1991 development approvals for the Aspen Meadows. Staff recommends that the
Planning and Zoning Commission approve the attached resolution, recommending that
City Council approve the requested SPA amendment and GMQS review for an essential
public facility, with the conditions contained therein.
RECOMMENDED MOTION: (ALL MOTIONS ARE MADE IN THE AFFIRMATIVE)
"I move to approve Resolution No. _' Series of 2005, recommending that City Council
approve with conditions, an SPA amendment and GMQS review for an essential public
facility to allow for an addition of 3,327 square feet to Aspen Meadows Health Center
located at 880 Meadows Road, City and Townsite of Aspen."

Exhibit A
Review Criteria & Staff Findings
SPA Amendment.
The Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council may approve an amendment to
an approved SPA if the proposal meets the following review standards:
1. Whether the proposed development is compatible with or enhances the mix of
development in the immediate vicinity of the parcel in terms of land use, density,
height, bulk, architecture, landscaping and open space.
Staff Findin2:
Staff believes that the proposed amendment enhances the mix of development in the
immediate vicinity. The design of the proposed additions to the Health Center building
have received conceptual HPC approval. Additionally, Staff feels that the proposal is
consistent with the intent of the original SPA and the expansion to the Health Center that
was approved but not built in 1991. Staff finds this criterion to be met.
2. Whether sufficient public facilities and roads exist to service the proposed
development.
Staff Findin2:
The proposed amendment will not impact the ability of the existing public facilities or
roads to serve the Health Center facility. Staff finds this criterion not to be applicable to
this application.
3. Whether the parcel proposed for development is generally suitable for development,
considering the slope, ground instability and the possibility of mud Jlow, rock falls,
avalanche dangers andJlood hazards.
Staff Findin2:
The building already exists and the Applicants are proposing the additions to the building
on the flattest portion of the site. Staff does not believe that the site subject to the
expansion is susceptible to mud flow, rock falls, avalanche dangers, or flood hazards.
Staff finds this criterion not to be applicable to this application.
4. Whether the proposed development creatively employs land planning techniques to
preserve significant view planes, avoid adverse environmental impacts and provide
open space, trails and similar amenities for the users of the project and the public at
large.
Staff Findin2:
The proposed amendment will not impact view planes or have an environmental impact
on open space or trails. Staff does feel that the proposed development employs good land
planning techniques in that the proposed additions are somewhat out of site from the
historic front faryade of the building which faces the courtyard of the Meadows campus.
5
--
.........
,".,
"'-. ,/
Also, the additions are proposed in scale with the remainder of the building so as not to
obstruct any significant view planes. Staff finds this criterion to be met.
5. Whether the proposed development is in compliance with the Aspen Area
Comprehensive Plan.
Staff Findinl!::
Staff believes that the proposed amendment is consistent with the AACP in that the
proposal would expand recreational opportunities in the community and provides for a
historically sensitive design that was conceptually accepted and recognized by the Historic
Preservation Commission as a positive addition to the overall Aspen Meadows Campus.
Staff finds this criterion to be met.
6. Whether the proposed development will require the expenditure of excessive public
funds to provide public facilities for the parcel, or the surrounding neighborhood.
Staff Findinl!::
The project does not require the expenditure of public funds or provision of public
facilities. Staff finds this criterion not to be applicable to this application.
7. Whether proposed development on slopes in excess of twenty (20) percent meet the
slope reduction and density requirements of Section 26.445.040(B)(2).
Staff Findinl!::
The Applicant is not proposing any development on slopes of greater than 20%.
Additionally, the density and allowable FAR for the property was already established for
the entire Specially Planned Area and the Applicant is only utilizing allowable FAR that
was approved for other uses. Staff finds this criterion not to be applicable to this
application.
8. Whether there are sufficient GMQS allotments for the proposed development.
Staff Findinl!::
The Applicant has concurrently applied for a GMQS Review for an essential public
facility to amend the original essential public facility status that was provided to the
property. Staff finds this criterion to be met as long as the associated growth
management application obtains approval.

Exhibit A
Review Criteria & Staff Findings
GMQS Review for an Essential Public Facility.
The Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council may approve a GMQS review
for an essential public facility if the proposal meets the following review standards:
a) The Community Development Director has determined the primary use and/or
structure to be an Essential Public Facility. (See definition.) Accessory uses may
also be part of an Essential Public Facility project.
Staff Findinl!:
As part of the 1991 approvals for the Aspen Meadows SPA, City Council made a
determination that the campus and all of the uses incorporated within the campus
constituted an essential public facility. The 1991 approvals allowed for an expansion of
the Health Center as is currently being proposed. That being the case, Staff feels that the
proposal to expand the Health Center is consistent with the development's designation as
an essential public facility. Staff finds this criterion to be met.
b) Sufficient growth management allotments are available to accommodate the uses,
pursuant to Section 26.470. 030. C, Development Ceiling Levels and Section
26.470.030.D, Annual Development Allotments.
Staff Findinl!:
There are sufficient development allotments available for the proposed expansion of
3,327 square feet of net leasable space. The allotment ceiling of 28,000 square feet of
new net leasable space has not been reached for this year. Staff finds this criterion to be
met.
c) The proposed development is consistent with the Aspen Area Community Plan.
Staff Findinl!:
Staff believes that the proposed amendment is consistent with the AACP in that the
proposal would expand the recreational opportunities that are available to the community
while retrofitting a valuable historic resource to make it more functional for its existing and
intended use. Staff fmds this criterion to be met.
d) A sufficient percentage of the employees expected to be generated by the project are
mitigated through the provision of affordable housing or cash-in-lieu thereof in a
manner acceptable to the City CounciL The Employee Generation Rates may be
used as a guideline but each operation shall be analyzed for its unique employee
needs. The City Council may waive, or partially waive, affordable housing
mitigation requirements as is deemed appropriate and warranted for the purpose of
promoting civic uses and in consideration of broader community goals.

r~""
."""
,. '~'"
~
StafT Findinl!:
As was discussed in the staff memorandum, all of the net leasable space proposed for this
expansion was previously exempted from employee housing mitigation as part of other
development plans that were approved but never constructed within the Aspen Meadows
development. Staff feels that the proposal does not warrant affordable housing mitigation
given the prior approvals that are in place for the net leasable square footage to be used.
Staff finds this criterion to be met.
e) Free-Market residential floor area on the parcel is accompanied by affordable
housing units or mitigation pursuant to 26.470.040.C.6, unless otherwise restricted
in the zone district. The City Council may waive, partially waive, or establish a
different limitation as is deemed appropriate and warranted for the purpose of
promoting civic uses and in consideration of broader community goals.
Staff Findinl!:
The Applicant is not proposing the addition of free-market residential floor area as part of
this proposal. Staff finds this criterion not to be applicable.
f) The project represents minimal additional demand on public infrastructure or such
additional demand is mitigated through improvements proposed as part of the
project. Public infrastructure includes, but is not limited to, water supply, sewage
treatment, energy and communication utilities, drainage control, fire and police
protection, solid waste disposal, parking, and road and transit services.
StafT Findinl!:
Staff does not believe that the proposed amendment will place considerable additional
demand on public infrastructure or necessitate additional public improvements. The
applicable referral agencies have reviewed the proposed amendment and have indicated
that sufficient public infrastructure exists to accommodate the proposed development.
Staff finds this criterion to be met.

MEMORANDUM
To: Development Review Committee
From: Alex Evonitz, Com. Dev. Engineer
Date: August 24, 2005
Re: Aspen Meadows Health Center SPA Amendment
ParcellD # 2735-121-29008
Attendees; Alex Evonitz, Com. Dev. Eng.: James Lindt, Com. Dev Planning; Nick
Adeh, Engineering; Ed VanWalraven, Aspen Fire; Denis Murray, Building; Phil
Overeynder, Water/Electric; Brian Flynn, Parks; Jim Curtis, Curtis Associates; Olivia
Emery, A4 Architects.
The Development Review Committee has reviewed the Aspen Meadows Health Center
SPA Amendment at their August 24, 2005 meeting and has compiled the following
comments:
General:
Changes to the existing facility include some interior remodeling for locker rooms
and changes in use for other areas, Additions to the existing structure are also part of the
current proposal. Proposed on the northwest side of the building is new construction to
facilitate Pilates and yoga uses. The northeast side will see the installation of an
indoor/outdoor Jacuzzi. The final proposed use change is the demolition of the existing
maintenance facility that also resided on the northeast side of the building.
An addition to a portion of the existing parking garage is part of the current plan,
This will become the relocated maintenance facility. The loss of an estimated eight (8)
parking spaces will be relocated adjacent and between the existing tennis courts near the
entrance to the compound.
Planner - James Lindt;
. The HPC has voiced concerns about the relocated parking between the existing
tennis courts because of the visual impacts.
. There no issues related to stream margin concerns.
. Exterior lighting changes will have to meet current standards,
Building Department - Denis Murray;
. The following plans must be submitted as part of the building permit application:
Excavation Stabilization Plan, Drainage and Soil Reports and a Construction
Management Plan (CMP). The CMP at the time of pre-submittal may help to
minimize comments later.

. Fencing around the current lap pool and the proposed leisure pool will need to
brought to current IBC standards, The Spa Jacuzzi falls into the category of a pool
also.
. In the area of the Jacuzzi, concern for the proximity to the adjacent steep slope
will need to be addressed to prevent potential falls down the slope,
. Stabilization in the areas of the leisure pool and the Jacuzzi should be included in
any stability report.
. Full access to both the Jacuzzi and leisure poll is required to be ADA compliant.
This includes access into and out of both new water features.
. Current electrical services may need to be brought current as part of this work.
The same holds true for the mechanical facilities, These can be done
independently from the current systems if desired.
. A discussion regarding the reopening of an old sundeck ensued, It was determined
that if less then 250 s,f. was reopened that use would be allowed. The use of the
existing spiral staircase is possible as long as railings are current.
. The maintenance facility relocation may present issues of use separation.
Depending on the equipment and materials being stored several separation
concerns are triggered,
. Updating of the current ramps serving the lower level of the garage would be a
good option at this time, The possibility of a limited use limited access elevator
may be necessary.
.~'
Fire Protection District - Ed VanWalraven;
. Sprinklers and alarms per code are required for the building. The new system
modifications need to tie into the current systems main panel.
. The necessary line sizing for sprinklers and water service will need to be
submitted,
Engineering Department - Nick Adeh;
. The City Engineer's pre-published Standards for Design and Construction apply
to this project.
. Attention to potential storm water runoff and potential slope stability need to be
acknowledged.
. Included in the CMP should be the following topics; construction traffic routing,
erosion BMP's, soil stabilization, drainage impacts, construction phasing plan.
The construction traffic routing should be Meadows Avenue to Seventh Street and
finally to SH 82.
. That CMP should be made a condition of approval.
. Drywells will likely be part of the drainage design. Those facilities should be well
away from the abutting steep slope.
. The City Engineer and Community Development Engineer need to be involved
early in the design effort to minimize potential pit falls in the permit application.

. Tree Removal: An approved tree permit is required prior to approval of the
building permit. An approved tree permit requires a proposed landscape plan
identifying trees for removal and means and schedule for mitigation. Please
contact the City Forester for more information 920-5126, Per the SPA the trees
removed will be replaced with trees up to equal caliper inch,
. Tree Protection: A vegetation protection fence shall be erected at the drip line of
each individual tree or groupings of trees remaining on site.
o A formal plan indicating the location of the tree protection will be required
in the bldg permit set.
o There will be no storage of construction materials, backfill, tools or
construction traffic inside of the protective fence,
o There is no excavation or disturbance of the native area inside of the
protective fence.
o This fence must be inspected by the city forester or his/her designee (920-
5120) before any construction activities are to commence.
. Additional Tree Protection: Due to the location of excavation and work the parks
Department will require and work with the Aspen Meadows to identify specific
root protection measures to be used through out the length of the project. The
project representative shall meet with the Parks Department to work out these
details and show these plans in the building plan set.
. Access: Parks is requiring a detailed plan outlining access to and from the
construction area. Access plans should detail all protection vegetation measures
and construction staging areas.
. Erosion Control: Silt fencing shall be installed along the top of slope. Silt
fencing shall be installed to City of Aspen standards. Additional erosion control
measures will be needed in order to prevent any materials, backfill and debris
from sliding down the hillside.
. NW Elevation: Parks is recommending that Community Development require the
building and hot tub be moved away from the slope in order to prevent negative
impact to the native vegetation. Additionally, as planned Parks feels the building
footer will be visible from the public trail and open space located below the site.
Parks is concerned with the protection of the slope and how the new additions will
affect the native vegetation on the hillside and views form the open space below.
Parks would like to see an elevation of the building and hot tub area.
. Native Restoration: is required on all hillside areas disturbed during the
installation of any proposed construction activities. A restoration plan should be
developed for the disturbed areas around the leisure pool, new hot tub and studio
balcony and building.
. Tap Locations: when planning for new water line and sewer taps in both phases
(athletic club and maintenance facility) plan around all tree drip ones and existing
vegetation.

. On the proposed service plan for the water system, the proposal to serve the free-
standing townhomes through a common line routed through the Aspen Club
commercial building does not comply with Section 25.12.100 of the municipal
code. A separate service is required for each of these units, Extension of and
looping for the water main may be required to establish water service to the
proposed development. This will also improve fire protection for the proposed
development..
. Only a single wall penetration will be allowed for water service and fire.
. Coordination between the waterline relocation that is part of the Conference
Center is necessary to ensure no conflicts with alignment and depths.
. Service for both current projects is available.

Zoning Officer - Sara Oates;
. The Aspen Meadows is seeking a SPA amendment for an addition and
modifications to the Aspen Meadows Health Center. The zoning for the Aspen
Meadows Health Center is Academic (A) with a SPA overlay. Dimensional
requirements were set out in the original SPA plan in 1991 and the applicant is
requesting modifications to the plan concerning the FAR for the Health Center.
. It is does not appear the height limit of the Aspen Meadows and associated
buildings were established and a height limit should be specified in this SPA
approval.
. Staff cannot determine compliance with the dimensional requirements, as the
plans provided are not to scale. Zoning compliance will be determined at the time
of building permit submittal.
. The applicant is required to meet Section 26,575.150, Outdoor Lighting and
Section 26.510, Signs.
Community Development Engineer - Alex Evonitz;
. A coordinated schedule for the relationship between both construction projects is
being required. Consideration to the issues of construction deliveries and material
storage need coordination,
. Drainage for the two projects must also be a coordinated design.
. No encroachment licenses will be necessary since the site is all on private
property.

specifications, which are on file at the District office.
. ACSD will review the approved Drainage plans to assure that clear water
connections (roof, foundation, perimeter, patio drains) are not connected to the
sanitary sewer system,
. On-site utility plans require approval by ACSD.
. Oil and Sand separators are required for parking garages and vehicle maintenance
establishments,
o Driveway entrance drains must drain to drywells.
o Elevator shafts drains must flow thru o/s interceptor
. The open area next to the maintenance facility will have to drain to a separate oil
and sand interceptor that will then direct the water flows to a drywell or storm
sewer system.
. Below grade development may require installation of a pumping system,
. One tap is allowed for each building. Shared service line agreements will be
required where more than one unit is served by a single service line.
. If additional taps are needed to serve the spa or maintenance facility, an additional
full tap fee will be charged to the development.
. Permanent improvements are prohibited in sewer easements or right of ways.
Landscaping plans will require approval by ACSD where soft and hard
landscaping may impact public ROW or easements to be dedicated to the district.
. All ACSD fees must be paid prior to the issuance of a building permit. Peg in our
office can develop an estimate for this project once detailed plans have been made
available to the district.
. Where additional development would produce flows that would exceed the
planned reserve capacity of the existing system (collection system and or
treatment system) an additional proportionate fee will be assessed to eliminate the
downstream collection system or treatment capacity constraint. Additional
proportionate fees would be collected over time from all development in the area
of concern in order to fund the improvements needed.
. Any glycol heating and snow melt system must be designed to prohibit and
discharge of glycol to any portion of the public and private sanitary sewer system.
The glycol storage areas must have approved containment facilities.

MEMORANDUM
TO:
Chris Bendon, Community Development Director
FROM:
James Lindt, Senior Planner
RE:
Aspen Meadows Insubstantial SPA Amendment- Relocation of
Maintenance Facility
DATE:
September 20, 2005
APPLICANTS:
Aspen Institute, with consent to apply from the Aspen Institute for Physics and the
Music Associates of Aspen.
LOCATION:
880 Meadows Road.
ZONING:
Academic with a Specially Planned Area (SPA) Overlay.
REVIEW PROCEDURE:
Insubstantial amendments to an approved SPA may be approved, approved with conditions,
or denied by the Community Development Director, pursuant to Land Use Code Section
26.440,090(A), Amendment to SPA development order.
BACKGROUND:
The Applicant has applied for a substantial SPA amendment to the Aspen Meadows SPA to
do an extensive remodel and addition to the existing health center at the Aspen Meadows. In
conjunction with the substantial SPA amendment, the Applicant has made a request for an
insubstantial SPA amendment to move the existing maintenance facility from the health
center building to within an underground extension to the Aspen Meadow's parking garage
facility. Related to the request to move the maintenance facility, the Applicant has
requested the ability to provide eight (8) paved parking spaces between the tennis courts
(please see parking plan attached as Exhibit "C") that exist on the east side of Meadows Road
to replace the seven (7) parking spaces that would be lost in the parking garage as a result of
the relocation of the maintenance facility.
STAFF COMMENTS:
In reviewing the application to relocate the maintenance facility from the health center
building to within the underground extension to the parking garage, Staff believes that the
proposal complies with the review standards for granting an insubstantial amendment to an
approved SPA. The proposal will not alter the dimensional requirements approved in the
original SPA with the exception of providing one additional parking space within the SPA.
Furthermore, Staff feels that the parking garage is a more appropriate location to house the
maintenance facility for the campus than its existing location in the health center.
Staff has proposed a condition of approval that requires that the Applicant apply for and
obtain all necessary building penn its to construct the underground extension to the parking
garage for the maintenance facility. The new maintenance facility space shall also be
required to meet all applicable ADA accessibility requirements and building code requirements.
Another condition of approval that has been proposed by Staff requires that the proposed
surface parking between the tennis courts be constructed such that there is no disturbance to,

Exhibit A
Review Criteria & Staff Findings
Insubstantial SPA Amendment.
The Community Development Director may approve an amendment to an approved SPA
if the proposal meets the following review standards,
1. A change in the use or character of the development.
Staff Finding::
Staff does not believe that the proposal changes the character of the Aspen
Meadows SPA. The maintenance facility already exists on the site and the
Applicant simply would like to move it to a more appropriate place within the
campus. Staff finds this criterion to be met.
2. An increase by greater than three (3) percent in the overall coverage of structures on
the land
Staff Finding::
The proposed SPA Amendment will not significantly change the land coverage of
structures within the Aspen Meadows SPA because the proposal is simply to
move the existing maintenance facility to within a below grade extension of the
existing parking garage. Staff finds this criterion to be met.
3. Any amendment that substantially increases trip generation rates of the proposed
development, or the demand for public facilities,
Staff Finding::
Staff believes that the proposal to move the maintenance facility from the health
center building to within the proposed underground extension to the parking
garage will have no impact on trip generation or the demand for public facilities on
the site, Staff finds this criterion to be met.
4. A reduction by greater than three (3) percent of the approved open space.
Staff Finding::
The proposal does not propose a reduction in open space on the site. The
proposed surface parking is in a location that is already used on an informal basis
as parking by some of the tennis players. Staff finds that this criterion to be met.
5. A reduction by greater than one (1) percent of the off-street parking and loading space.

original approval or which requires granting a further variation from the project's
approved use or dimensional requirements,
Staff Finding:
The Applicant is not requesting an amendment to the project's approved
dimensional requirements. Additionally, the Applicant is not requesting a
variation from the approved uses established in the 1991 Aspen Meadows SPA
approvals, Staff finds that this criterion does not apply.

The Development Review Committee has reviewed the Aspen Meadows
Health Center SPA Amendment at their August 24,2005 meeting and has
compiled the following comments:
General:
Changes to the existing facility include some interior remodeling for
locker rooms and changes in use for other areas. Additions to the existing
structure are also part of the current proposal. Proposed on the northwest
side of the building is new construction to facilitate Pilates and yoga uses.
The northeast side will see the installation of an indoor/outdoor Jacuzzi.
The final proposed use change is the demolition of the existing
maintenance facility that also resided on the northeast side of the
building.
An addition to a portion of the existing parking garage is part of the
current plan. This will become the relocated maintenance facility. The loss
of an estimated eight (8) parking spaces will be relocated adjacent and
between the existing tennis courts near the entrance to the compound.
Planner - James Lindt;
. The HPC has voiced concerns about the relocated parking
between the existing tennis courts because of the visual impacts.
. There no issues related to stream margin concerns.
. Exterior lighting changes will have to meet current standards, -/

· The following plans must be submitted as part of the building permit
application: Excavation Stabilization Plan, Drainage and Soil Reports/
and a Construction Management Plan (CMP). The CMP at the time \
of pre-submittal may help to minimize comments later.
. Fencing around the current lap pool and the proposed leisure pool /
will need to brought to current IBC standards. The Spa Jacuzzi falls
into the category of a pool also.
· In the area of the Jacuzzi, concern for the proximity to the adjacent V
steep slope will need to be addressed to prevent potential falls
down the slope. J [;1 \)-t 0.
· Stabilization in the areas of the leisure pool and the Jacuzzi should /Cf-J~~J e{\)
be included in any stability report. VLt~\d;-z<t~,1l'l
. Full access to both the Jacuzzi and leisure poll is required to be ADA b f \"'~
compliant. This includes access into and out of both new water V'
features.
. Current electrical services may need to be brought current as part
of this work. The same holds true for the mechanical facilities, These \ l
can be done independently from the current systems if desired. n.\..lceP'
· A discussion regarding the reopening of an old sundeck ensued. It ~ \f{,\J-
was determined that if less then 250 s.f. was reopened that use /W
would be allowed. The use of the existing spiral staircase is possible
as long as railings are current.
. The maintenance facility relocation may present issues of use
separation. Depending on the equipment and materials being
stored several separation concerns are triggered,
. Updating of the current ramps serving the lower level of the garage
would be a good option at this time, The possibility of a limited use

. Tree Removal: An approved tree permit is required prior to approval
of the building permit. An approved tree permit requires a
proposed landscape plan identifying trees for removal and means
and schedule for mitigation. Please contact the City Forester for
more information 920-5126. Per the SPA the trees removed will be
replaced with trees up to equal caliper inch.
. Tree Protection: A vegetation protection fence shall be erected at
the drip line of each individual tree or groupings of trees remaining
on site.
o A formal plan indicating the location of the tree protection /
will be required in the bldg permit set.
o There will be no storage of construction materials, backfilLI
tools or construction traffic inside of the protective fence.
o There is no excavation or disturbance of the native area
inside of the protective fence. j
o This fence must be inspected by the city forester or his/her
designee (920-5120) before any construction activities are to
commence.
. Additional Tree Protection: Due to the location of excavation and
work the parks Department will require and work with the Aspen
Meadows to identify specific root protection measures to be used
through out the length of the project. The project representative
shall meet with the Parks Department to work out these details and
show these plans in the building plan set. /
· Access: Parks is requiring a detailed plan outlining access to and V
from the construction area. Access plans should detail all protection
vegetation measures and construction staging areas.
· Erosion Control: Silt fencing shall be installed along the top of slope. /
Silt fencing shall be installed to City of Aspen standards. Additional V
erosion control measures will be needed in order to prevent any
materials, backfill and debris from sliding down the hillside.

Tree Removal: An approved tree permit is required prior to approval of the
building permit. An approved tree permit requires a proposed landscape plan
identifying trees for removal and means and schedule for mitigation. Please
contact the City Forester for more information 920-5126. Per the SPAthe trees
removed will be replaced with trees up to equal caliper inch.
Tree Protection' A vegetation protection fence shall be erected at the drip line of
each individual tree or groupings of trees remaining on site.
o A formal plan indicating the location of the tree protection will be required V
in the bldg permit set.
o There will be no storage of construction materials, backfill, tools or /
construction traffic inside of the protective fence. V
o There is no excavation or disturbance of the native area inside of the V
protective fence.
o This fence must be inspected by the city forester or his/her designee (920- V
5120) before any construction activities are to commence.
. Additional Tree Protection: Due to the location of excavation and work the parks
Department will require and work with the Aspen Meadows to identify specific , /
root protection measures to be used through out the length of the project. The V
project representative shall meet with the Parks Department to work out these
details and show these plans in the building plan set.
. Access: Parks is requiring a detailed plan outlining access to and from the
construction area. Access plans should detail all protection vegetation measures
and construction staging areas,
Erosion Control: Silt fencing shall be installed along the top of slope. Silt
fencing shall be installed to City of Aspen standards. Additional erosion control V
measures will be needed in order to prevent any materials, backfill and debris
from sliding down the hillside,
NW Elevation: Parks is recommending that Community Development require the
building and hot tub be moved away from the slope in order to prevent negative
impact to the native vegetation. Additionally, as planned Parks feels the building
footer will be visible from the public trail and open space located below the site.
Parks is concerned with the protection of the slope and how the new additions will
affect the native vegetation on the hillside and views form the open space below.
Parks would like to see an elevation of the building and hot tub area.
Native Restoration: is required on all hillside areas disturbed during the . /
installation of any proposed construction activities, A restoration plan should be V
developed for the disturbed areas around the leisure pool, new hot tub and studio
balcony and building.
Tap Locations: when planning for new water line and sewer taps in both phases

RE:
ASPEN MEADOWS HEALTH CENTER SPA AMENDMENT
Parcel ID No, 2735-121-29-008
ISSUE: The applicant is seeking approval as follows:
I, Partial interior renovation of the existing building.
2. Demolish the Maintenance Shop addition to the Health Center and rebuild this space for
Health Center uses.
3. Expand the building on the northwest side for a Yoga and Pilate's studio and expand the
building on the northeast side for an indoor/outdoor Jacuzzi.
4, Maintain the existing outdoor lap pool, add a separate small leisure pool and relocate the
hot tub.
Mitil!ation Requirement: The applicant received approval as part of the Aspen Institute's SPA
Amendment for the Conference and Meeting Hall in 2004 that anticipated an additional 1,500
square foot of "approved but unbuilt" square footage for an expansion of the Health Center. In
1991, City Council approved the original SPA Plan allowing for 1,800 square feet. A total of8,857
square feet had already been approved in prior requests. The current proposal represents build out
of the SPA square footage approved by the 1991 SPA Plan of 13,417 square feet. The total to be
built after the requested remodel will be 13,417 square feet; therefore, no additional square footage
is being requested. The maintenance shop is to be relocated to an underground extension of the
existing parking garage. Because the shop is to be underground, the Code states that 100% of the
underground space is not counted as floor area.
RECOMMENDATION: The proposed remodel is not adding any additional square footage;
therefore, mitigation is not required.

Re:
Consent To Substantial SPA Amendment & Application
Aspen Meadows Health Center Remode1& Addition
& Maintenance Shop Relocation
880 Meadows Road
The Aspen Institute, Owner
Dear Jim & Jane,
As you are aware, 'The Aspen Meadows, Specially Planned Area
(SPA) Development & Subdivision Agreement" was approved by the
Aspen City Council in 1991 and established a Master Plan for the Aspen
Meadows Campus. Article II, H(12) "Amendments," attached, requires that
any SPA or Master Plan amendments or future development applications
submitted by one of the non-profit users be jointly applied for and
consented to by all the non-profit users of the campus. This provision was
to insure the non-profit users would communicate and coordinate their land
use and building plans among one another.
The Health Center was approved for 1,800 sq. ft. of expansion as
part of the 1991 SPA Master Plan. The current plan calls for 1,000 - 1,500
sq. ft. of additional expansion plus remodel of the existing building. The
plan also proposes to relocate the existing maintenance shop to an
underground extension of the existing parking garage. These improvements
are part of the Aspen Meadows on-going efforts to maintain and improve its
facilities. The conceptual plans are enclosed for your review, and either I, or
Jim Curtis, our Owner Representative for the project, will be happy to
answer any questions.
On behalf of the Aspen Institute, I respectfully request your consent
to the filing of the above referenced land use application in compliance with
Article II, H(12) of the SPA Agreement. Thank you for your cooperation in
this matter and please feel free to call on any questions.

This Application is illustrated by the "List of Drawings" outlined in the
Table of Contents and inserted following the text of the application,
The Aspen Meadows property received Specially Planned Area (SPA)
approval in 1991 for a master plan for the property. The 1991 SPA Plan
encompassed all of the Aspen Meadows-Aspen Institute property, Music
Association of Aspen property and Aspen Center for Physics property. Under the
1991 SPA Plan, the Health Center was approved for renovation and expansion of
1,800 sf.
In 2004, as part of the Aspen Institute's SPA Amendment for the
Conference & Meeting Hall Building, the Institute anticipated the upcoming
renovation and expansion of the Health Center and requested an additional 1,500
sf. of "approved but unbuilt" square footage be reserved for Health Center
expansion beyond the 1 ,800 sf. approved by the 1991 SPA Plan, City Council
approved the additional I ,500 sf. for the Health Center expansion subject to
submittal of an SPA Application under Ordinance No. 45, 2004, which approved
the Conference & Meeting Hall Building in November, 2004.
Therefore, the approved Health Center renovation and expansion (subject to
a site specific SPA Plan) is the following:
A.
B.
C.

Current renovation and expansion proposal is
8,884 sf.
As shown above, the current renovation and expansion proposal is 8,884 sf.
which is slightly above (by 27 sf.) the 1991 & 2004 approvals. The 27 sf. is
MeadowsSP AAmcnd07255
primarily attributed to adding a separate unisex-ADA accessible bathroom which
is required by Building Code. This bathroom was not considered in the Aspen
Institute's early thinking about the remodel.
As part of the Health Center renovation and expansion, the Aspen Institute
also plans to relocate the Maintenance Shop which is attached to the Health Center
and was constructed in 1993. The existing Maintenance Shop is approximately
1,069 sf. and provides maintenance for the total Aspen Meadows-Aspen Institute
grounds and buildings. The Maintenance Shop is proposed to be relocated to an
underground extension of the existing parking garage and slightly enlarged to
1,421 sf. of heated shop space and 888 sf. of unheated open wash pit. The
underground shop will be "out of sight, out of mind" and better suited to service
the maintenance and grounds needs of the Aspen Meadows-Aspen Institute
property.
The current proposal represents "buildout" of the SPA square footage for
the Aspen Meadows-Aspen Institute property approved by the 1991 SPA Plan,
The Aspen Institute had 13,417 sf. of "approved but unbuilt" square footage
remaining to be built under the 1991 SPA Plan as documented in the Conference
& Meeting Hall Building SPA Application. This square footage is being "used" as
follows:
A.
B,
Conference & Meeting Hall Building
Additional Health Center Expansion
11,9l7sf.:!:FAR
1,500 sf.:!: FAR
13,417 sf.:!: FAR
Please note the following clarifications to the above buildout analysis,
1. The 13,417 sf. of "approved but unbuilt" square footage resulted from the
Aspen Institute's decision not to build Lodge Building #3 which was
approved as part of the 1991 SPA Plan,
2. The Health Center had approval for an 1,800 sf. expansion as part of the
1991 SPA Plan. The additional I ,500 sf. shown above is taken from the
approved square footage for Lodge Building #3 which was not built.
3. The relocated Maintenance Shop of I ,421 sf. and open wash pit of 888 sf. is
not deducted against the 13,417 sf. because the shop is underground
and per the Aspen Municipal Code 100% underground space is not counted
as floor area. However, this is a moot point because one of the benefits of a
Specially Planned Area (SPA) is that the approval is site specific based on the
merits,compatibility and impacts of the proposal.

A. Health Center Summary
The current proposal is summarized as follows:
I. Partial interior renovation of the existing building (no substantial
exterior change to the front of the building.)
2. Demolish the Maintenance Shop addition to the Health Center, which
was added in 1993, and rebuild this space for Health Center uses.
3. Expand the building on the northwest side mainly for a yoga and Pilates
studio and expand the building on the northeast side for an
indoor/outdoor Jacuzzi.
4. Maintain the existing outdoor lap pool "as is," and add a separate small
leisure pool and relocate the hot tub.
5. Relocate and enlarge the Maintenance Shop to an underground
extension of the existing parking garage.
The above improvements are proposed for the following reasons:
I. To "freshen-up" the Health Center without distracting from its historical
importance or making it too fancy.
2. To allow the Health Center to offer more "health & wellness" facilities
and programs to its guests and locals.
3. To "spruce-up" the men's and women's locker rooms and add a new
yoga and Pilates studio and indoor/outdoor Jacuzzi.
4. To add a small leisure pool and relocate the hot tub to minimize
conflicts with swimmers using the lap pool.
5. To relocate and enlarge the Maintenance Shop to an "out of sight. out of
mind" location.

B. Health Center History
Shortly after the Goethe Bicentennial in 1949, Herbert Bayer began
planning the Aspen Institute. Although he had no training as an architect, his
desire for integration of the all arts led him towards building design with the
assistance of Fritz Benedict. In notes he made for the 1962 Design Conference, he
wrote, "for me.. .there are two kinds of Bauhaus: the one of the past which I like to
remember because of the group spirit which unified our feeling and work.. .but my
sympathies and interests are with the Bauhaus of the present, as I am living and
working along timeless and flexible principles as evolved in the old Bauhaus." A
large part of the unity he achieved at the Aspen Meadows campus is due to the
sensitive relationship between manmade structures and the natural beauty of the
site. The buildings are generally diminutive in scale with understated forms and
materials such as simple roofs, cinder block, concrete and glass.
The Health Center was designed in 1954. The drawings were most likely
done by Fritz Benedict and the final design clearly evolved during the design
process. Sketches in the Denver Art Museum's Bayer Archive depict an early
scheme entirely of concrete block, with no pre-cast concrete elements, such as the
triangular components of the gym or the end panels on which the famous HC
graphic announces the building. In fact, one early sketch showed flagstone pavers
on the end panels, laid up vertically in mortar. The original structure was variously
called the Health Center or the Aspen Meadows Spa on the drawings and it
contained many therapeutic spaces, especially individual pool or tub rooms and
small plunge pools.
The Health Center was designated an historic structure by the City of
Aspen in 1996. The Health Center has been renovated and expanded several times
as outlined below:
A. Original Construction - 1954 by Herbert Beyer and Fritz Benedict
B. 1st Remodel & Addition -1973 by Fritz Benedict and Thomas Wells
. Mainly interior remodel
. Added sauna room to women's locker room which was later converted
to a steam room,
Meadov.'sSP AAmend0725 5
4
C. 2nd Remodel & Addition - 1993 by Ted Guy
. Partial interior remodel
. Added maintenance shop
. Added 2 men's message rooms
. Added small storage area
D. 3d Remodel & Addition - 2005 Current Proposal
. Partial interior remodel
. Demolish and relocate Maintenance Shop
. Rebuild Maintenance Shop space for Health Center uses
. Add new construction on northwest and northeast sides.
. Add small leisure pool and relocate hot tub.
One would hope Mr. Bayer and Mr. Benedict would be pleased to see the
Health Center as a living structure changing over time, adapting to its times and
needs, and remaining respectful to its origins. An example of living breathing
architecture.
II. 1991 SPECIALLY PLANNED AREA (SPA) PLAN
The 1991 SPA Plan was the culmination of over 2 years of planning,
meetings, and public hearings with the City of Aspen. The SPA Plan created a
master plan for the total Aspen Meadows property including the Aspen Meadows-
Aspen Institute parcel, Music Association of Aspen parcel, Aspen Center for
Physics parcel, and Savanah Limited private holdings. The SPA Plan achieved
several important community goals:
I. It recognized and applauded the consortium of non-profits as key
institutions of Aspen's heritage and their intellectual and cultural enrichment of
the Aspen community.
2. It encouraged redevelopment and revitalization of the facilities and
programs of the non-profits.
3. It subdivided the property to allow the individual non-profits to own "fee
simple" their individual parcels. This was critical to the fundraising and
revitalization of the non-profits,
MeadowsSP AAmend07255
5
The Aspen Meadows facilities are owned by the Aspen Institute and the
SPA Plan allowed redevelopment and expansion of the facilities. Between 1991-
1993 the Aspen Institute undertook a good portion of the redevelopment activity.
The Aspen Institute reconstructed 98 lodge units, did modest renovations the
health center and restaurant, and constructed the underground parking garage and
tennis courts.
Today, the Aspen Institute is committed to continue its revitalization as
follows:
I. Aspen Meadows Restaurant & Reception Center. A remodel and addition
to this building opened in June, 2005. This is an exciting Harry Teague Architects
design which the Institute is very enthused about.
2. Conference & Meeting Hall Building. This building is scheduled to break
ground in September, 2005 with a December, 2006 opening. This will be a
wonderful new addition to the Aspen Meadows Campus. The building is being
designed by Jeffrey Berkus Architects and will add a modem dynamic sfructure to
the campus.
3. Health Center Remodel & Addition. This proposal is to freshen-up the
Health Center and to offer the Meadow's guests and locals more health and
wellness facilities and programs. The remodel is designed by A4 Architects who
are very respectful of the history of the building.
Overall, the Aspen Meadows campus has been able to revitalize itself in an
exciting and community oriented manner. The Aspen Institute has and continues
to renovate its facilities and bring the community stimulating and enriching
programs and events. The Music Association of Aspen has provided the
community the wonderful Harris Concert Hall and Benedict Music Tent plus an
array of exciting programs and events. The Aspen Center for Physics has
constructed a new teaching hall and continues to bring world-class physicists to
the community. The 1991 SPA Plan has been hugely successful in maintaining
and revitalizing a wonderful part of the Aspen Community.

III. HEALTH CENTER REMODEL & ADDITION DESCRIPTION
The key points of the remodel and addition are described below. The
overall goal is to freshen-up the facility while also keeping the facility simple and
modest.
I. There will be no substantial change to the front of the building. The
cinder block wall at the front right that was not part of the original
Herbert Bayer construction is to be removed to create more
breathing room between the Health Center and the new Meeting
HaIL The gym space will be preserved as is, with fitness equipment
treated as furniture on a floating, resilient floor surface, leaving the
original floor and interior surfaces intact.
2. The two new spaces, the yoga studio and Jacuzzi pavilion, are
expressed as free-standing volumes held away from the original
structure by means oflow, mostly glazed connectors. Theyare
splayed or angles in plan to allow greater visual and physical access
to the site and to maintain legibility of the original rear of the
building.
3. The yoga studio is approximately:X the size of the gym in both plan
and volume. It is the complement to the gym - north facing, more
inward turning, with framed views and a curved roof.
4. The Jacuzzi space is treated as an indoor/outdoor pavilion. Three
large glass doors either rollup overhead or retract into the walls to
open it as much as possible as weather permits.
5, The original building employs a language of planes, roofs lifted off
the walls below and windows as non-walls. Proposed additions
explore different ways of expressing these same architectural ideas.
Materials
In general, the new materials complement the original building, are
institutional in character and as low maintenance as possible.
1. The new rooms (yoga and Jacuzzi) have wood windows and are
sheathed in flat-seam zinc. The integral color of the zinc is a very
matte gray.
MeadowsSPAAmend07255
7
2, The connectors are primarily aluminum storefront glazing.
3. The extension of Health Center space into the area currently
occupied by the Maintenance Shop will be concrete block and
aluminum storefront glazing. Alternating rows of rough and smooth
faced block differentiate it from the original.
4. Roofs are membrane.
Compatibility With HPC Guidelines
I. There is no change to the use ofthe building.
2. None of the original building is removed or significantly altered. The
character of the structure and site remain intact.
3. Additions do not seek to imitate the original. Their design is
complementary and contemporary,
4. Distinctive features of the building, notably the HC graphic and gym
structure, are preserved in their entirety.
5. The proposed additions could be removed with little impact on the
form and integrity of the original structure.
IV. MAINTENANCE SHOP RELOCATION DESCRIPTION
The Maintenance Shop is proposed to be relocated to an underground
extension of the existing parking garage. The relocated shop is approximately
1,421 sf. of heated shop space and 888 sf. of unheated open wash pit and services
the total Aspen Meadows-Aspen Institute grounds and buildings. Spaces in the
shop include the following:
.
General work area
Vans, golf carts and equipment open wash pit
Tools and materials storage
Locker room, shower, toilet
Office
.
.
.
.
Meado\\'sS P AAmend0725 5

Existing fenced storage is already located along the south end of the garage.
This fenced storage has been in the garage for the past 5 - 7 years due to the
extreme lack of general storage space for the Aspen Meadows and is proposed to
remain with the relocation of the Maintenance Shop. This fenced storage removes
approximately 7 parking spaces from the 97-space garage. However, because
approximately 75 - 80% of the Meadows guests fly-in without a car, parking in
the garage has not been a problem. Only locally oriented events like Thursday
morning Rotary, local weddings and memorials are the only times when over flow
parking is necessary. The overflow parking occurs along Meadows Road.
The plan for the relocated Maintenance Shop also allows for 8 spaces of
tennis parking between the two sets of tennis courts. The land between the tennis
courts is presently a "no man's land" and the plan for the relocated shop will clean
up this area.
V. COMBINED REVIEWS, CODE SECTION 26.304.060(B)
Code Section 26.304,060(B) is addressed below:
(B). 1. Combined reviews. The procedures for reviewing development
plans and applications where more than one development approval is being
sought simultaneously may be combined or modified whenever the
Community Development Director determines, in consultation with the
applicant, that such combination or modification would eliminate or reduce
duplication and ensure economy of time, expense and clarity. provided.
however, that all public noticing normally associated with the subject
development application(s) is maintained, and that a thorough andfidl
review of the application and proposed development as otherwise required
by this title is achieved.
Applicant requests combined reviews of the application. Applicant
feels combining reviews would eliminate or reduce duplication and ensure
economy of time, expense and clarity in reviewing the application,
MeadowsSP AAmend07255

VI. CONSOLIDATED SPECIALLY PLANNED
AREA (SPA) AMENDMENT, CODE SECTION 26.440.090(B)
Code Section 26.440.090(B) is addressed below:
(B) All other modifications shall be approved pursuant to the terms and
procedures of the final development plan. provided that the proposed
change is consistent with or an enhancement of the approvedfinal plan. If
the proposed change is not consistent with the approvedfinal development
plan, the amendment shall be subject to both conceptual and the final
development review and approval.
Applicant feels the proposed amendment is both consistent with and an
enhancement of the 1991 SPA Plan for the following reasons:
1. Renovation and expansion of the Health Center was envisioned as part of
the 1991 SPA Plan.
2, The expansion is compatible with the existing structure and its historical
character.
3. The renovation and addition will freshen-up the building for the enjoyment
of Meadows guests and locals.
4, The relocation of the Maintenance Shop underground will put it "out of
sight, out of mind."
VII. GMQS EXEMPTION FOR ESSENTIAL
PUBLIC FACILITY AMENDMENT, CODE SECTION 26.470.070(H)
Code Section 26.470.070(H) is addressed below:
(H) Construction of essential public facilities. This exemption is not
deducted from the respective annual development allotment established

3.
Under the 1991 SPA Plan, both the MAA's and Institute's plans were
granted GMQS Exemptions For Essential Public Facilities. City Council
Ordinance No. 14 (Series 1991) approving the 1991 SPA Plan and Exemption For
Essential Public Facilities states the following:
"City Councilfinds asfollows in regard to the Developer's (i.e., institute &
MAA) request for Growth Management Quota System development

public facilities, and is not-for-profit in nature. ..
(From City Council Ordinance No. 14. (199]). Page] 7)
Applicant feels the City Council findings made in 1991 are applicable
today. As City Council stated in ] 991:
"The Aspen Meadowsfacilities have historically provided intellectual and
cultural enrichment to the citizens of the City of Aspen without which the
City would not have attained its present character and standing in the
national and international community. "
The Aspen Institute continues to provide intellectual and cultural
enrichment to the citizens of Aspen as demonstrated by the extensive list of
Institute programs and events for 2005 in Exhibit 3, A small sampling of the

Al!reement for Payment of City of Asoen Development Application Fees
CITY OF ASPEN (hereinafter CITY) and Aspen Institute. Jim Curtis. Re"Dresentati ve
(hereinafter APPLICANT) AGREE AS FOLLOWS:
I. APPLICANT has submitted to CITY an application for
As en Meadows Health Center Re d &
(hereinafter, THE PROJECT),
2. APPLICANT understands and agrees that City of Aspen Ordinance No. 57 (Series of 2000)
establishes a fee structure for Land Use applications and the payment of all processing fees is a condition precedent
to a determination of application completeness,
3, APPLICANT and CITY agree that because of the size, nature or scope of the proposed project, it
is not possible at this time to ascertain the full extent of the costs involved in processing the application,
APPLICANT and CITY further agree that it is in the interest of the parties that APPLICANT make payment of an
initial deposit and to thereafter permit additional. costs to be billed to APPLICANT on a monthly basis.
APPLICANT agrees additional costs may accrue following their hearings and/or approvals. APPLICANT agrees he
will be benefited by retaining grealer cash liquidity and will make additional payments upon notification by the
CITY when they are necessary as costs are incurred. CITY agrees it will be benefited through the greater certainty
of recovering its full costs to process APPLICANT'S application.
4. CITY and APPLICANT further agree that it is impracticable for CITY staff to complete
processing or present sufficient infonnation to the Planning Commission and/or City Council to enable the Planning
Commission and/or City Council to make legally required findings for project consideration, unless current billings
are paid in full prior to decision.
5. Therefore, APPLICANT agrees that in consideration of the CITY's waiver of its right to collect
full fees prior to a determination of application completeness, APPLICANT shall pay an initial deposit in the
amount of $ which is for hours of Community Development staff time, and if actual
recorded costs exceed the initial deposit, APPLICANT shall pay additional monthly billings to CITY to reimburse
the CITY for the processing of the application mentioned above, including post approval review at a rate of $220.00
per planner hour over the initial deposit. Such periodic payments shall be made within 30 days of the billing date.
APPLICANT further agrees that failure to pay such accrued costs shall be grounds for suspension of processing, and
in no case will building permits be issued until all costs associated with case processing have been paid,
