COMMENTS Commissioners Planning Staff II. PUBLIC HEARING A. Hamwi Subdivision III. ADJOURN MEETING M E M O R A N D U M TO: CINDY HOUBEN, PLANNING OFFICE FROM: JAMES L. ADAMSKI, HOUSING DIRECTOR RE: HAMWI SUBDIVISION DATE: AUGUST 9, 1988 This memo concerns the Hamwi Subdivision and PUD and request for exemption for Growth management for an employee unit. It specifically response to Paul Hamwi and his architect Stan Mathes comments at the June 7, 1988 meeting with the Aspen City Planning and Zoning Commission regarding employee housing and the Housing Authority's interaction with this applicant. Paul Hamwi made reference to two issues concerning the Housing Authority (1) the payment -in -lieu and (2) the Authority's inability to work with him. First, the payment -in -lieu program - the applicant states that we are sitting on this money and that it should be put to use to construct employee housing. The payment -in -lieu fund is approximately $500,000 and is scheduled to be used as seed money in 1989 for the construction of rental and sales deed restricted units. The Housing Authority has spent a small amount to initiate the development of one small rental projected and to research potential development sites. Second, regarding working with the applicant, Mr. Hamwi states "...In fact up until yesterday was trying to crunch numbers with the Housing Authority to make it (an 11 unit project) work before we came before you people so we wouldn't have to give up on the 11 units." Neither Mr. Hamwi nor any of his representatives have presented any numbers to the Housing Authority for the production of employee housing. Mr. Hamwi, his agents and persons inter- ested in purchasing his property have approached me (by tele- phone) with vague concepts for employee housing on the Hamwi site. I gave them what information I could based on "what if scenarios" and requested that they reduce their thoughts to writing and schedule a meeting with the Housing Authority to review how we could best assist them in the production of employee housing - the Housing Authority has not received anything from this applicant. In summary, the Housing Authority's intent is to use the payment -in-lieu funds as seed money to assist the private and non-profit sectors in the production of deed restricted employee housing. This assistance can range from the research and development stage to production and can take any form that is practical and cost effective. We are interested in sitting down with Mr. Hamwi to determine how we can be of assistance to him for the production of employee housing. MEMORANDUM TO: Aspen Planning and Zoning Commission FROM: Cindy Houben, Planner RE: Hamwi Subdivision DATE: August 9, 1988 On July 19, 1988 the Planning Commission reviewed the Hamwi Subdivision application and set the Public hearing for August 9, 1988. The Planning Commission reviewed the application and made preliminary comments that they approve the subdivision request with an option to place an employee unit on site. The Planning Commission reviewed the conditions recommended by the Planning Office as listed below. Several modifications to these conditions were made at the meeting. I have placed the applicants response to these conditions below each condition. 1. The applicants submit a final landscape plan to the Planning Office no later than August 2nd in order for the Planning Office to review the plan prior to the August 9th Public Hearing before the Planning Commission. RESPONSE: The applicants have not submitted this plan. They intend to submit a plan at the meeting. Unfortunately this will not give the Planning Office time to review the plan prior to the meeting. 2. The applicants shall submit a final plat and associated final plat documents pursuant to the Code requirements. These documents should include drawings and language which clarifies the optional employee unit situation. RESPONSE: This is to be submitted prior to the City Council review of Final, Plat. 3. The applicants shall eliminate the patios from within the side yard setback by either moving the building to the north or making the patio areas smaller. RESPONSE: The applicants were to discuss this with Bill Dreuding in the Zoning Dept. prior tonights meeting. At the time this memo was written this still had not been accomplished. 4. The applicants shall submit a letter to the Planning Office from the Water Department noting whether the water line connection between Neale Street and King Street is necessary. RESPONSE: Larry McKenzie, of Stan Mathis's office assured the Planning Office that the Water Department will no longer require this connection. No letter has been submitted. 5. The applicants shall supply a general utility easement pursuant to the Engineering Department memo dated June 27, 1988. RESPONSE: The applicants have stated that they will supply whatever easement is necessary. 6. The applicants shall be subject to all environmental health air pollution/fireplace regulations in place at the time a building permit is requested and to all conditions as listed by Lee Cassin in her memorandum dated May 11, 1988. RESPONSE: This shall become a condition of Final Plat submission. 7. The employee unit shall be restricted to the middle income guidelines prior to recordation of the final plat. RESPONSE: The subdivision improvements agreement shall reflect this restriction. 8 The applicant shall be required to vacate the prior approval pursuant to section 7-1007 (c) prior to the recordation of the plat for this project. Other discussions at that meeting revolved around the ability for the applicant to place more employee units on site. The Planning Commission directed the Planning Office to speak with the Housing Authority about the possibility of the Housing Authority helping build on site employee units in some of these projects and or helping defray the cost of the fees involved in developing a unit (water tap fees, impact fees etc.). Please see the attached memo from Jim Adamski which notes that the applicants never gave the Housing Authority a proposal which could be evaluated. Jim Adamski will be present at the meeting to answer any questions. RECOMMENDATION: Approval of the request for exemption from mandatory PUD, approve the request for exemption from GMP for the optional employee unit and approve the application as the preliminary submittal for the Hamwi Subdivision with the conditions as listed. (Please refer to the July 19, 1988 memorandum from the Planning office). 1.
