RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
PLARHING AND ZONING
JULY 7. 1987
Chairman Welton Anderson called the meeting to order at 5:00 pm.
ROLL CALL
All members were present.
COMMISSIONER'S COMMENTS
Roger Hunt: Apparently the service area at the Hotel Jerome was
not built correctly as presented to the Commission or is being
used improperly. Today there was a semi trailer truck loading in
the back of the hotel and was sticking out far enough to cross
the sidewalk, the parking lane and into one driving lane and
partially into the opposite driving lane.
It happened just as I observed this, a woman carrying a baby had
to go around the truck into the traffic and around back again to
get around it. Certainly this is a safety hazard which should be
corrected.
Ramona Markalunas: Last Thursday there was a semi that was
totally blocking Bleeker Street.
Alan Richman: I will transmit this to the Engineering
Department. This is in their jurisdiction. If the service area
is improperly designed, they have a serious problem. Hopefully
this is not the case.
STAFF- COMMENTS
Alan: The Clerk's Office is pursuing the appointing of a new P&Z
member. It will be brought up at next Council meeting.
We have listed on your next agenda a work session next week on
housing. We are now going to push that back to August.
Next week what we would like to do is take an hour of your time
and work with you on the Marolt property. Last week at Council a
variety of suggestions came up regarding the Marolt property.
Mary Martin has suggested its use as a victorian storage area.
The MAA has suggested its use as a campus. The Historical
Society has suggested using the barn as a museum. None of these
uses was contemplated in the Concept Plan which the P&Z adopted
for the site.
We need to brainstorm with you about the ideas that are coming
forward to see if any of them make any sense to you as a group.
Council has asked us to have a work session with them in August
and this will give us an opportunity to discuss this issue before
that meeting.
David White: It seems to be a City storage area. I think we
should talk about what the City Council is not able to do with
open space. I am concerned about the City buying property for
open space and suddenly it gets turned into a snow dump or a
trash area. It is supposed to be open space and beautiful for
the City.
Alan: The Council approved its use as a storage area for the
electrical underground equipment.
Ramona: The Parks Department came before us in force about a
year ago to complain about the mess which was made around the
neighborhood around the golf course. Now they are doing the same
thing to the Marolt property all around the barn. There are
trash cans, cables, all types of storage things that they just
put in there.
Alan: I know that the Nordic Council has authority to store
there.
At this point Alan suggested that unless the Commission wanted to
keep a record of the session on Aspen Code Simplification, the
secretary could be excused.
Roger Hunt made a motion to close the regular meeting and open
the work session.
Ramona seconded the motion with all in favor.
Meeting was adjourned at 5:15
