Answering roll call were Michael Herron, peyton, Roger Hunt and Welton Anderson. Colombo were excused. Ramona Markalunas, Mari Jasmine Tygre and Jim COMMISSIONER'S COMMENTS Roger Hunt: Mine is more for Tom Baker to try to bring us up to date as to what is happening with the Rio Grande planning at this point. Tom: We did some further investigating into the way the library and the garage were going to work together. We found out for security reasons the library was not going to have their elevator or their stairwell to integrate into the garage. They were only for internal library use. So what our consultants did was they looked at a different design for the parking. Instead of having the parking in an L they looked at if they took the 80 spaces out from underneath and put it into a split level/four level arrangement--what would that do? It turns out that it is a more efficient design layout as well as cheaper to do. They have to do some soil tests to see where the water table is to see if it is doable or not. Also what that means is that we are going to come in with parking for final SPA separate from the library. We were going to try and do them together before. Now there is a clean break and we can fast-track the parking to try to meet the timing for construction next year. The library was lagging behind. Now they can come when they get ready. They are still working on where Spring Street should be located. They are going to do some more conceptual designs and come back with some ideas. At that time they will schedule with P&Z in order to get P&Z input before they make their application. Roger: I just wanted to add--I sort of forewarned the library group through Tom that now that they are separate and stand alone and integrating themselves to the parking structure, there is going to be a parking element that they are going to have to address. I don't know if they will have to do something about that or not at this point but to me the only thing that made the library palatable was that it happened to be accessory to the garage. Now being a separate unit I think that they are going to have to address some of their impacts. ",. Mari: We had asked a few weeks back to get some reductions of the zoning map that we could take home. ,,~_. .... Alan: I haven't figured out a way to do a reduction that would be logical. The only thing I think that would be useful would be full sized sheets. We are going to bring the zoning map here so that we have it in this room. Some of the areas are hard to read on the full scale map and when you reduce it you won't know what you are seeing at all. Ramona: I was boning up on the school district election and noticed that there is quite a performing arts center included in the new proposed elementary school. It occurred to me that since the school is very closely associated with Aspen that maybe the Aspen P&Z should at least be aware of what is happening out there. The impacts of a performing art center in that particular location might be pretty significant. Alan: If the land use application were actually submitted for the school for the County, it would be referred to the City P&Z. That is a mandatory requirement. Ramona: area. One of the annexation proposals is for that particular WHEELER SQUARE BUILDING GMOS EXEMPTION "" . Cindy: Made presentation as attached in records. The request is the exemption from the growth management application for additional commercial square footage. The applicants feel that they aren't generating any additional employees by this activity. No additional parking spaces are required and the visual concerns are negligible. The Planning Office agrees. MOTION Roger: I move to approve. Ramona seconded the motion with all in favor. REVIEW OF COUNCIL ENDORSEMENT OF ANNEXATION ELEMENT Glenn Horn: City Council looked this over and approved this resolution endorsement endorsing the element which you recommended to them. You did your resolution recommend ing approval back in the Spring. The Council kept tabling it and now have finally acted on it. They did this resolution and they recommended some changes. I think tney are aii pretty good changes. What I am looking for is your response to these recommendations and also some final cleanup language before we go to a public '-__ hearing to adopt the element. '" After discussion on the recommendations from city Council: Glen: I am going to bring this element back all cleaned up and ready for adoption with these changes you suggested. All of the maps will be in there and the table of contents will be completed. We will have a publ ic hear ing at your next meeting. It is already published. Welton then adjourned the regular meeting. Time was 5:25pm. The Commission then continued with a work session on Land Use Element-Brainstorming Follow-up. _Jt1!_ carhfY' .........~."
