BENEDICT-MULARZ PROPOSAL FOR RIO GRANDE SITE
City Manager Chapman reminded Council requested him to meet with Fritz Benedict at the
suggestion of the Rio Grande task force to discuss preparation of the site plan. Benedit
has submitted a proposal suggesting a way to do the site plan. Chapman stated the contenti
of the program is what the city needs right now; a primary and alternate land use plan
overlay using the program of requirements the Rio Grande task force has outlined. The
city will get some mass three-dimensional models to get some idea of the impaCt on the sit~.
There will be probable construction cOst estimate for completion of the buiidings, site
improvements and landscaping. The price in the proposal is on an hourly basis not to
exceed $10,000 plus reimbursable expenses. The Council'has some alternates; one is to
direct the staff to prepare a contract with Benedict-Mularz and bring it back to Council.
Another alternative is to seek additional proposals, or not do anything at all. Chapman
said there should be $10,000 available in the land fund to do this, assuming the rest of
the year goes well. As an alternative, Council could wait until May when a budget review
is done.
Mayor Edel said the Council is committed to having this done; waiting six weeks will
probably not drastically change the availability of the dollar. Mayor Edel said he felt
strongly the city should be moving ahead with this. Councilman Isaac said he would like
to wait until the end of May and seek other proposals, this would follow standard city
procedure. Mayor Edel pointed out it was the very much considered opinion of the Rio
Grande task force to proceed in this manner.
Fritz Benedict said he planned to take the recommendations of the Rio Grande task force
and present two different plans. City Manager Chapman said the outcome of this is what
will fit on the Rio Grande and what will it look like. Councit has to decide of out the
list of recommended uses, what part or all will be done. Chapman said a decision making
tool is what the plan will look like with a visual model, in terms of mass. Council also
has to look at costs, raising money. Councilman Collins said he did not know how the
city could go ahead with the planning for this area without knowing the major uses that
will go on the Rio Grande. There seems to be a tendency to go ahead with plans and then
have to go back to the voters for final approval. Councilman Collins said he would like
some options from the planning office on the uses for the Rio Grande; there is a broad
range of uses because everybody wants to do something down there.
Councilwoman Michael moved to approve the contract as outlined in the memo to the City
Council from Fritz Benedict dated 25 March 1981; seconded by Councilman Behrendt. All
in favor, with the exception of Councilman Collins. Motion carried.

ORDINANCE ~17
(Series of 1981)
AN ORDINANCE REPEALING AND REENACTING SECTION 7-141(d)(d.2) TABLE
NO. 3-A BUILDING PERMIT FEES TO ESTABLISH NEW BUILDING PERMIT FEES
was read by the deputy City clerk ~
Councilman Behrendt moved to adopt on first reading, Ordinance ~17, Series of 1981; seconded
by Councilman Isaac.
City Manager Chapman reminded Council this ordinance came out of a joint meeting with the
County Commissioners to study the issue of raising building permit fees. The object is
to get the building department as self-supporting as possible. These increases are
based on the amount of work that the building department must expend for reveiwing plans
with different levels of construction value. This is the same as the county's schedule.
Roll call ~ote; Councilmembers Behrendt, aye; Parry, aye; Isaac, aye; Michael, aye;
Collins, aye; Mayor Edel, aye. Motion carried.
19th GREEN CONTRACT
City Manager Chapman reminded Council the staff had presented them with a lease for the
19th Green. Councilman Isaac and Mayor Edel requested for some revisions to include a
cancellation arrangement. The staff negotiated a termination arrangment. The staff
included a section if the liquor license is not received by the first of June, the city
will provide a rebate of $126.25 per day in the month of June for each day they do not
have the liquor license. This is based on the premise that 75 per cent of their profit
would come from liquor sales. Chapman explained the termination clause; if the city
terminates for June, July, August and September, the city's liability is $50,000. If
the city terminates for July, August and September, the city's liability is $45,000;
If for August and September, $35,000 and for September $10,000. Under this provision,
the city will keep all rents paid, including the initial deposit of $10,500.
Mayor Edel said he had a problem voting on this contract given these stipulations that
have just been presented. Chapman told Council the lessees have about $22,000 to $25,000
expenses going in and most of these are non-recoverable. If the city terminates, they
keep whatever supplies are there, the deposit and all rent to date. Mayor Edel said he
would like time to read and go over this.
Councilwoman Michael moved to table this until Friday, April 17, at noon; seconded by
Councilman Behrendt. All in favor, motion carried.
Regular Meeting Aspen City Council April
ORDINANCE #12, SERIES OF 1981 - Dormitories in RB Zone
Councilman Behrendt moved to read Ordinance ~12, Series of 1981; seconded by Councilman
Parry. All in favor, motion carried.
ORDINANCE ~12
(Series of 1981)
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTIONS 24-10.4(a) AND (b) OF THE MUNICIPAL CODE
DELETING THE R-6 ZONE DISTRICT FROM SECTION 24-10.4(a) AND ADDING THE R-6
ZONE DISTRICT TO SECTION 24-10.4(b) AND ALLOWING DORMITORIES AS A PERMITTED
USE IN THE RESIDENTIAL BONUS OVERLAY DISTRICT WHEN THE DISTRICT IS SUPERIMPOSED
OVER A SITE WITHIN THE R-6 ZONE DISTRICT AND PROVIDING FOR DEED RESTRICTIONS
AND COMPLAINCE WITH RENTAL PRICE GUIDELINES AND AMENDING SECTION 24-10.5(b) (1)
TO PROVIDE FOR THE DETERMINATION OF PERMITTED DEN ~TY FOR A DORMITORY USE
was read by deputy city clerk Lee
Mayor Edel opened the public hearing. Mayor Edel read into the record a letter just
received. "Aspen City Council Residential Bonus Overlay Ordinance al2. We are opposed
to any change in the Aspen Muncipal Code which would permit the construction of dormi-
tories in the residential zone district. The integrity of our residential neighborhoods
will be in jeopardy if such a use is allowed. There are few true residential neighbor-
hoods left in Aspen. We believe that those remaining should be protected. Aspen
should no~ be compromised create a municipal which would protect and preserve
our community from unwanted changes. We object to those exceptions to those being made
the ordinances should be applied consistently and uniformly ~n all cases. Sincerely
Wiley Dowdy and Scott Dowdy".
Richard Cicero said he lives next to the Given Institute; this ordinance had in mind
Little Annie's. The ordinance should be stated it is for Little Annie's so that other
properties cannot build dormitories. Ramona Markalunas strenuously objected to this
ordinance. This would just write-off the R-6 zone. If this does, indeed affect Little
Annie, that should be taken care of by a PUD or some other mechanism. Bill Martin concur~ ~d
with Ramona and said he could not conceive of dormitory uses in R-6. This would create
a community of nothing but dormitory bedrooms. Ben Foster voiced opposition to the
proposed Ordinance ~12 for the reasons ~n the letter. Jon Stroh agreed if this is for
the purpose of Little Annie Ski Area it should be specified; it should not encompass all
R-6. Unnamed male opposed this. Mary Martin was opposed. Jane Cicero was opposed.
Mayor Edel said the purpose of Ordinance ~12 was specifically to accomplish something at
the Little Annie area. This ordinance seems to go beyond what the city intended to do.
Sunny Vann explained that the dormitory is a permitted use only when the RBO is applied;
therefore, this is a determination from Council upon the recommendation of P & Z that
this would be appropriate. This ordinance does not give carte blanche to build dormi~
tories on R-6 sites throughout the community. Vann said this ordinance is structured so
that the dormitory must be 100 per cent employee housing.
Marian Getz said by letting one exception take place, this is opening up for other
exceptions. Carla Stroh said she was given to understand that other areas fell under
this rezoning. Vann said the residential bonus overlay is a discretionary tool where
an applicant can apply for a rezon~ng to allow an increase in density. In the R-6 throug~
R-30 zones, the applicant must have a vacan5 parcel of one acre or more. Council has
the discretion to determine the appropriateness of the rezoning. Ann Altemus said she
felt this could apply to about five sites in the west end. Ann Altemus said she is
opposed to this and Council's discretionary power.
City Attorney Taddune told Council he is working with counsel for Little Annie on a final
approval resolution, which should be r~ady April 27. Bob Edmundson, acting city attorney,
told Council that when Joe Wells presented this ordinance, he told Council there were
a few other areas this might apply to, to be handled on a case by case basis. To let
this apply only to Little Annie is spot zoning. Councilman Collins suggested sending this
back to staff. Councilman Collins said he did not think this higher density is appropria~
for the rest of the city. Councilman Isaac said he is vary opposed to this affecting
all R-6 zones. Councilman Parry suggested rather than using the residential zones for
this dormitory ordinance, to use a more specified zone. Vann said there might be a
problem with spot zoning again. Councilman Behrendt suggested using an SPA or PUD.
Vann said there may be a way to do this. Councilwoman Michael asked the planning office
pursue the SPA for this.
Councilman Isaac moved to disapprove Ordinance #12, Series of 1981; seconded by Council-
man Collins. Roll call vote; Councilmembers Behrendt, aye; Parry, aye; Van Ness, aye;
Isaac, aye; Michael, aye; Collins, aye; Mayor Edel, aye. Motion carried.
ORDINANCE ~9, SERIES OF 1981 ~ Restaurants in C-1 Zone
Councilman Isaac moved to read Ordinance ~9, Series of 1981; seconded by Councilman
Behrendt. All in favor, motion carried.
ORDINANCE #9
(Series of 1981)
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTION 24-3.2 OF THE ASPEN MUNICIPAL CODE BY THE
ADDITION OF A RESTAURANT AS A CONDITIONAL USE IN THE C-1 ZONE DISTRICT
was read by the deputy city clerk
Mayor Edel opened the public hearing. Mayor Edel commented he would rather the entire
C-1 zone be looked at instead of piecemeal changing. Councilman Isaac said he would
rather see restaurants be a permitted use. Councilman Parry said he would also rather
have restaurants as a permitted use. Gideon Kaufman said it is important to keep this
as a conditional use because there is some discretion in this use. Kaufman said he sees
this as shoring up the intent of the Code. Vann said this restaurant use being a conditio -
al use does give P & Z control over expansion of conditional uses in the C-1 zone. Counci~-
man Collins said he felt this use was rather impactive to the other uses meant for the
C-1 zone.
Mayor Edel closed the public hearing.
Councilman Behrendt moved to adopt Ordinance %9, Series of 1981, on second reading;
seconded by Councilman Parry. Roll call vote; Councilmembers Behrendt, aye; Parry, aye;
Van Ness, aye; Isaac, nay; Michael, aye; Collins, nay; Mayor Edel, nay. Motlon carried.
TRANSPORTATION ISSUES
Mayor Edel read two letters; one from Aspen Center for Physics concerning the scheduled
route of buses during the music festival and requesting the buses go down Third street
and back Fifth street. Another letter from Charles Hall requesting as little impact on
the west end as possible and having the buses only use Third with a turnaround at Gillespi~.
Duane Fengel, transportation director, told Council he has had meetings with the residents!i
of the west end concerning this subject. Fengel agreed the buses do have a %arge impact
on Third street. Fengel told Council the most feasible route for the buses is to turn
north on Third to Gillespie, west to Fourth, north into the parking lot to the ticket
area, unload and go out Fifth to Hallam to the music school. However, the parking on
Gillespie makes this difficult and the parking area itself is congested. This would also
require a fence being moved and culvert being added.
Fengel told Council he did not have the money in his budget to do the improvements required
for rerouting the buses. Fengel said this route would run in only one hour before
scheduled rehearsals and concerts. This will reduce the buses in there a tremendous
amount. Melinda Severence told Council the transportation department was approached by
the Third street caucus about the amount of empty buses running up and down Third street.
The transportation department did a check, found this was true, discussed this with the
M.A.A. and worked out only having buses go all the way to the tent when there were
scheduled concerts and rehearsals, instead of 72 times a day. Monroe Summers told Council
if this plan is followed, it will reduce the impact on the neighborhood about 80 per cent
over last year.
Fengel outlined the improvements for this program, which would be moving the fence;
dig out the ditch, put in new culvert, cover the ground with gravel and enforce the no
parking on Gillespie. Fengel told Council this would cost $5,000 maximum. Mary Martin
pointed out that Third and Gillespie is a five-way corner and is very dangerous for a
bus turnaround.
Councilman Behrendt moved to approve the basic routing mentioned in the April 6th memo
from the transportation department and to approve all of ~3 and #4 in the same memo
to a maximum of $5,000; seconded by Councilman Parry. All in favor, with the exception
of Councilmembers Van Ness and Collins. Motion carried.
Service Cuts. Fengel recommended to Council the bus reduction be in all routes; two hours
in the Silverking route and one hour in all other routes. This input comes from the
transportation night supervisors and the night drivers. Until a couple of years ago,
all bus routes stopped at 1 a.m. This bus reduction would save the city $20,000 to cut
the routes uniformly to midnight. The cost of hauling a few people is ridiculously
high.
Councilman Behrendt moved that all city route bus service be scheduled from the hours of
7 a.m. to 12 midnight; seconded by Councilwoman Michael.
Councilman Isacc said he was opposed to cutting the bus service off at mighnight. Council~
man Isaac said it is silly to use four buses after midnight and suggested using just one
bus. The manager at Silverking said he has gotten a lot of feedback from residents all
over the east end. The manager pointed out walking to Silverking, once over the Mill. .
street bridge there is no sidewalk, no lights, and there are thousands of employees llvlngi~
in the east end of town. Councilman Van Ness pointed out that $15,000 is less than 1
per cent of the transportation budget; the 12 midnight to 2 a.m. are the most crucial
hours and should be kept up.
Councilman Behrendt amended his motion to exclude the Silverking route from the above
motion and extend its run to 2:15 or 2:30~ seconded by Councilwoman Michael.
Councilwoman Michael asked what this would do to the operations. Fengel said there will
be some problems with scheduling of the drivers. It will also mean keeping a supervisor
on until 2:30 a.m. and will cost between $55 and $60 per night. Councilman Behrendt
suggested reviewing this in two or three months.
All in favor, with the exception of Councilwoman Michael. Motion carried.
3. Maroon Bells Service. Duane Fengel reminded Council last year the County requested
the city's help in running this service. The city supplied buses, drivers, supervisors,
etc. and it worked well. There was an $8,000 surplus. Fengel said he felt that the
county should be able to run the route this summer. Councilman Behrendt suggested that
the city manager meet with the county and bring the discussion back to the joint boards
at the next meeting. Sunny Vann, planning director, told Council the strategy for the
Maroon Bells bus run started in the planning office and it was a desire to preserve an
essential wilderness area and reduce traffic. It has been a very successful program,
and the results are impressive. Mayor Edel said he had met with the forest service and
they will be unable to give anything to the program this year.
Councilwoman Michael moved to have the staff meet with the county and bring this back to
the joint meeting on April 27, 1981; seconded by Councilman Behrendt. All in favor,
motion carried.
Regular Meeting Aspen City Council April 13~
Nelson Owen pointed out at the Plum Tree there is baseball fields, golf course, tennis
courts, and they would like a bus from the Maroon Creek turnoff to the Plum Tree. The only
left hand turn required would be entering highway 82 from the Plum Tree. Owen said the
bus rests at Highlands for 10 minutes and this extra route to the Plum Tree would only
take seven minutes. Fengel said he would be glad to discuss this and come back with a
recommendation.
CITIZEN PARTICIPATION
There were none
INITIATIVE PETITIONS
Mayor Edel said Council has read the proposed ordinance and has seen the signatures on the
initiative petitions. A proposal was stlbmitted t° Council which was signed by 550 voters
of Aspen. Council has to vote on this within 60 days of submission. Mayor Edel said the
city is in the process of creating an historic inventory throughout the city. The petitio]
requests that any building on this inventory, should the owners wish to make any changes,
the building should go to HPC.
Councilwoman Michael moved to direct the city attorney to draft an ordinance incorporating
the language in the petition and addressing the proposed amendment; seconded by Councilman
Van Ness.
Mayor Edel said perhaps what the petitioners want could be achieved by a moratorium on
Victorians. Sunny Vann, planning director, told Council the staff is going to try to
expand the historic designations in town and use existing legislation. In the interim,
the Council could come up with a moratorium on any structures outside the district which
are listed on the inventory as architecturally or historically significant must receive
HPC approval until these buildings are designated. Vann said getting all the structures
in the inventory designated will take quite awhile.
Councilwoman Michael withdrew her motion.
Vann said the staff would like time to draft an interim solution to provide a review
mechanism for demolition or moving a Victorian until the appropriate structures can be
designated.
Councilwoman Michael moved to direct the city attorney and planning office to prepare an
ordinance having to do with the demolition of Victorian buildings and have the first
reading on April 27; seconded by Councilman Van Ness. Council requested to have the first
reading at Friday's special meeting. All in favor, motion carried.
ORDINANCE #13, SERIES OF 1981 - Rezoning Little Annie
Mayor Edet pointed out that earlier Council defeated Ordinance #12, which would allow
dormitories in the R-6 zone. Ron Garfield said he felt the sentiment of Council is that
dormitories could be acceptable at Little Annie site but not in other areas of town.
Garfield said the staff recommendation for this area was R-6. Councilman Parry suggested
going ahead with the rezoning, and accomplish the dormitories through another mechanism
suCh as SPA.
Mayor Edel opened the public hearing on Ordinance ~13, Series of 1981, and continued it
until April 27, 1981.
SUBDIVISION EXCEPTION - Marlow
Colette Penne, planning office, told Council this is the condominiumization on an existing
duplex. The rental unit is outside the city's housing price guidelines. This duplex
is on Cemetery Lane.
Councilman Isaac moved to except the Marlow subdivision from full compliance with the
subdivivision regulations with the following conditions; (1) six month minimum leases and
no more than two shorter tenancies per year, (2) the applicant comply with the requirement
of a written notice of 90 day option to purchase the unit and a first right of refusal;
(3) applicant agree to enter the curb gutter and sidewalk improvement district if one is
formed on Cemetery lane; (4) and the applicant revise the condominium plat prior to final
recordation to meet the specifications of the engineering department; seconded by Council-
man Parry. All in favor, motion carried.
REPLACEMENT FOR MUNICIPAL COURT JUDGE
City Manager Chapman told Council that Municipal Judge Grueter has requested a six month
leave of absence without pay. Chapman said he has brought this to Council to see what
basis they wished to proceed on, whether to replace or grant the leave. There is a deputy
judge.
Councilwoman Michael moved to replace the municipal court judge; seconded by Councilman
Behrendt. All in favor, with the exception of Councilman Parry. Motion carried.
Councilwoman Michael moved that deputy judge Brooke Peterson be acting municipal judge;
seconded by Councilman Behrendt. All in favor, motion carried.
Council directed staff to advertise the position and take bids.
LIFT ONE BUILDING ROOF
City Manager Chapman told Council that Aspen Central Reservations notified the city they
wished to continue their lease of the Lift One building. They also informed the city thatli
the building needs repairs to the roof and asked the city to participate in this for 50
per cent of the cost. Chapman said he would like some direction from Council. Councilmanli
Behrendt said he did not have any problem with $1500. Councilman Parry said the city
Regular Meeting Aspen City Council April 13, 1981
should participate because it is a city building.
Councilman Behrendt moved to approve funding 50 per cent of the cost to repair the roof
for the Lift One building; seconded by Councilman Parry. All in favor, motion carried.
This is up to $1500.
