In summary, the units have not been rented within the last 18
months at prices affordable to employees of the community.
Therefore, there is no displacement of employees associated with
this application. The Planning Office has no objection to the
proposed condominiumization with the conditions as listed below.
For your information, the condominiumization of these units under
the new Code would require an affordable housing impact fee be
paid totaling $12,050.00. In the alternative, if the applicants
had agreed to restrict the occupancy of the units to employees of
the community, no fee would have been required under he new
Code.

Hack/McPherson condominiumization with the following conditions:
1• The applicants shall file a statement of subdivision
exception to the satisfaction of the City Attorney prior to
recordation of the Condominium plat which shall include the
following:
a. Agreement to join any future improvement district if
one is formed for their area.
b. A six month minimum lease restriction with no more than
two shorter tenancies per year.
C. Agreement that if the units are sold a right of first
refusal will be offered to the existing tenants.

Chairman, Aspen P & Z
Aspen, CO
RE: BELL MOUNTAIN REZONING/PUD
Dear Welton:
As an owner and manager of the Hannah Dutin Building and the Old Post Office
Building, I would strongly recommend that the request for commercial zoning
of the Bell Mountain lots be denied and that it retain the Lodge Preservation
Zoning for the following reasons:
1. Aspen's unique ambience is being destroyed partly because many of the
smaller lodges are being demolished or converted to long term housing. These
smaller lodges are more in keeping with the scale of Aspen and should be improved
and preserved or replaced with new structures of the same size.
2. This sites proximity to the gondola makes it an ideal location to accomodate
skiers because they would have pedestrian access to the lifts, downtown shops and
restaurants thus, reducing vehicular pollution and congestion.
3.. Aspen doesn't NEED anymore commercial space! ! ! Many of the present
retailers are complaining that there isn't enough business. Consequently, they
are exerting political pressure on the city to approve large out of scale hotels
in order to generate more customers.
4. This and other blocks in the area have been an effective transition zone be-
tween the intensive commercial core uses and the residential and tourist uses.
By expanding the commercial zone you will adversely affect what remains
of the adjoining residential areas. By granting this request, you would set a
precedent that would encourage adjoining .land owners to seek a similar change
to cash in on the economic gains of a more commercial use.
P.O. BOX 2238 ASPEN COLORADO 81612 3031925-1196
I would greatly appreciate you considering my concerns and suggestions
in this matter since, as an adjacent land owner, I would be impacted most
by the proposed zoning change. Also, preservation of Aspen's uniqueness
and human scale should be foremost in your minds and can be accomplished
by not granting this zoning change which will economically benefit one
developer at the expense of all present and future Aspenites and visitors.
Cordially,
George A. Vicenzi
