PLANNING OFFICE AGREE~ENT City/County Planner Bill Kane had included in the packet a contract for service from the planning office. This agreement reflects the budgets approved by the city and county. Planning Nothing in the agreemen~ had changed materially from last year; this is a renewal office proposal. Councilman Parry asked if it were necessary to hire a draftsman. Kane answered agreement that the planning office was hiring drafting services on a consulting basis. Commissioner Edwards asked if the projects outlined on last year's contract had been accomplished. Kane said the majority had been accomplished. Councilwoman Johnston suggested that this contract come out at the same time the budget so that it need not be discussed twice a year. Councilman Behrendt moved to approve and sign the planning office agreement; seconded by Councilwoman Pederseno Commissioner Edwards asked that to paragraph A (1)(d) on page 2, the following be added, after the word recommendation, "On various public and private land use proposals or applications as well as continuously re-evaluating and recommending suggested changes to the land use code." The addition was all right with the planning office. Councilman Behrendt moved to amend the agreement to include the insert; seconded by Councilwoman Pedersen. Commissioner Shellman noted that the City and County had received good performance out of .the planning office in the last year. All in favor, motion carried. UMT~ rEPORT George Ochs reported that nothing has actually happened. An Urban Transit Design company UMTA from Toronto will be in Aspen April 27th. They manufacture bases, bus shelters and do design on rail systems, and will demonstrate their technical knowledge for anyone interested. TRANSPORTATION REPORT City Manager Mahoney told Council and the Commissioners that the City had a five bus route as well as additional buses to be used in the summer for the M.A.A., IDCA, etc. Transp°rta~ Mayor Standley, Councilman Parry, Yank Mojo, Commissioner Shellman and Mahoney had been tion/ meeting to address the problems in the transportation department. From these discussions, County it was discovered that there were some questions in terms of the organization. taking over its County Manager A1 Blomquist identified four alternative approaches (1) City manage and routes County under contract (2) County manage, City under contract (3) separate systems and (4) Leave as is with County perhaps pulling out downvalley system and trying to run it to get test costs. Blomquist recommended separating the systems, keeping the routes the same, and continuing cooperative levels. Under this system, the County would run their routes through the County shops. Mahoney indicated that the County felt intensely about the downvalley routes. The way the City is set up, they have not responded as quickly as the County might want them to. Commissioner Shellman stated that the ~oun~y system is fairly system. The County is dependent upon revenues, and dependence upon revenues requires farily good ridership. The City operation is considerably different. Shellman Regular Meeting Aspen City Council April 26, 1976 recommended that the County take responsibility for ~he routes established downvalley an( to West Village and use the Road and Bridge crew to operate them. Shellman concluded that the County will not effectively run an economic system until the policy makers get involved in scheduling and deciding about the service. Shellman stated that with the County running these two routes, it would improve the accounting significantly. Direct accountability between county employees and county officials will go a long way to improving the service on these routes. Shellman suggested continuing of joint programs as far as new route creation. Shellman objected to support and supervision consisting of 50 per cent of the operation, ~ith no direct accounting. City Manager Mahoney recoI~mended_the~city ~O~with.!Blomquist~,~recom~endati~n .to separate ape~at±ons, that the City lease~the garage facilities f~om~the CQunt~andtsome,~gas buses for the summer until the City could purchase some .ne~_~uses. The'~Coun~y Will take the diesel fleet and turn it over to the roa~ and bridge crew; the City will maintain the gas fleet and make an adjustment to the supervision that will reflect the reduced responsibility. Transportation Director Mojo said in the interests of economics, scheme, flexibility and ability to respond that one system is the way to go. In terms of response to a particu- lar policy decision, perhaps separately operated fleets with a common maintenance facility would work. Mojo stated he did not see an operational savings in the way this was proposed, but he would like to see it tried. Mayor Standley pointed out that one area that the City and County ought to be able to work jointly in is transportation. Transportation is the most direct area to be working closely to get and realize the greatest benefits. Mayor Standley said he felt that the City and County were trying to solve too many problems at once. Commissioner Edwards said there was County participation in a system and there ~s dis- satisfaction on the par~ of the County with the ability of the system to be responsive to the County's needs and with respect to financial accountability. Edwards, Kinsley Mayor Standley, and Mojo have expressed reluctance to have two sets of drivers, mechanics supervisors, etc. This may be inefficient. Edwards suggested restructuring the joint program with new management with direct accountability to both part~es so that the County can receive the information they want, or going with Shellman's suggestion of the County taking over their two established route. Shellman stated that the present ~ransportation department amount ~o a duplication. There is already a City and County shop; the bus barn creates a third shop. Mayor Standley moved to direct thoses interested in following Shellman's approach to continue working as a committee and bring back a definitive proposal to the nex5 joint meeting; seconded by Councilwoman Pedersen. All in favor, motion carried. Commissioner Edwards said he had an interest in having a joint City/County transportation department. SILVERKING HOUSING Brian Goodheim, housing director, had submitted a memorandum to the Commissioners and Housing Council outlining the existing operation of Silverking, the physical and financial data. There are 304 units, consisting of studios to three bedroom; approximately 20 units to Silverking an acre. The fourth phase is not included in this density; the recreation facilities are. The net operation income ~s approximately $600,000; this is the figure ~ith which the debt service has to be amortized. Goodheim stated with regard to acquisition of Silverking, it is only feasible as a rental pro3ect if the purchase price is 5½ to 6½ million dollars. As a condominium project, it would be feasible at a higher price. As a condominium it would have a negative effect on the rental market as well as displacing residents. Goodheim stated that whoever bought the project would have to bear the burdens of open space, recreational facilities, inadequate parking, security problems, and a transit system. Goodheim stated there were three basic decisions with regard to Silverking; (1) whether to acquire it, (2) what extent acquisition, (3) disposition of the property. There are factors within these decisions; (1) financial feasibility, talking about some sort of government subsidy and operating within the confines of public housing (2) the legal and financial problems, (3) impact on the existing rental structure (4) ownership impact (5) management impact, the county involved in managing public housing. Goodheim stated that three alternatives stand out (1) purchasing some of the property (2) a combination of renting and selling the property, (3) not to do anything. Goodheim said that the measure of the extent of displacement of persons at Silverking should be studies. A survey of local businesses to determing their interest in purchas- ing units should be considered. An evaluation of the financing has to be done. If the units are sold, the sales should be divided between individuals and businesses. Commissioner Edwards directed Goodheim to pursue the impact analysis on the rental market. Edwards pointed out that by running Silverking, the County would have control on the rental prices. Councilman Behrendt moved to authorize Brian Goodheim to perform the studies on Silver- king; seconded by Councilman De Gregorio. All in favor, motion carried. Councilwoman Johnston pointed out that the City and County were not adding housing, but were merely changing ownership patterns. COUNCIL MEETING Mayor Standley called the meeting to order at 6:50 p.m. with Councilmembers Behrendt, De Gregorio, Johnston, Parry, Pedersen, and City Manager Mahoney present. MINUTES Councilman Behrendt moved to table the minutes; seconded by Councilwoman Johnston. All in favor, motion carried. CITIZEN PARTICIPATION 1. Herman Edel, representing the West Side Improvement Association, told Council that Water in the cottonwood trees in the west end were dying. Edel said he would like to see the ditches in irrigation ditches opened up. Edel suggested that the City put some thought and manpower town to into re-opening the ditches. Edel said the WSIA would be willing to help in any way water possible. City Manager Mahoney told Council he had hired someone to map the existing cottonwoods ditch network. Mahoney said it was his program to dig these ditches out and to deliver as much water to the west end as possible. Mahoney said he would give an estimate to Council for the 1977 budget to siphon under the streets and develop the system. 2. Kiefer Mendenhall spoke on behalf of Wink Jaffee. Jaffee had relayed t~at if the Mall City had the incredible effrontery to put the mall questfon to a ballot again, Jaffee would go to Moody's and have the City's bond rating reduced. Jaffee stated he would do everything in his power to make any financing on a private basis very difficult for the City. Kiefer Mendenhall said, for himself, he found it inconceivable that the City would put this to a vote again this summer or fall. The present mall will not be completed by Mall July or August. Mendenhall said the City needed a winter to test the new mall out. Mayor Standley said that the City did not intend to put the mall question to another election this summer or fall. 3. Eloise Ilgen told Council that there are anti-car and anti-mall people in town, who are both determined to have their way all the way. Ms. Ilgen suggested (1) the City Mall close no streets, instead build native rock gardens with native flowers, (2) a schedule be made for days which the town will be open to vehicles, (3) Some days the entire town would be auto free (4) take the bricks for the mall and make a patio on the Trueman property, which could be used as a skating rink in the winter, (5) re-route the water from the mall to the residential areas, where it is historically correct. 4. Ramona Markalunas read a letter to the Council about the malls and mall election. Ms. Markalunas stated that through the election process, the Council's constituency tried Mall to give their thoughts about the malls; they were consulted only infrequently about their concerns on the mall. One million dollars is too much to spend; problems with the exist- lng malls, dogs, parking, noise, should be dealt with first; the new mall should evolve gradually in the downtown area, not have a phony atmosphere. COUNCILMEMBER COMMENTS Maintenance 1. Councilman De Gregorio brought up ~he maintenance problems with the red house right in town next to the Castle Creek bridge. Art Hougland, Assistant to City Manager, told Council he had had the health officer take care of this. 2. Councilman De Gregorio told Council he had been in contact with Ted Armstrong about Lights on lights on the playing field. Councilman De Gregorio said he would talk to the school playing district about 50 per cent partners on this; the cost to the City would be about $12,000. field Councilman De Gregorio moved 5o add this item to the agenda; seconded by Councilman Behrendt. Councilmembers Parry, De Gregorio, Behrendt, Mayor Standley in favor, Council- members Johnston, Pedersen opposed. Motion carried. Councilman De Gregorio told Council that Armstrong had indicated he had some money avail- able for this project. The lights would also light the field for baseball and softball and would increase available playing time. King Woodward told Council that he felt the neighbors would be opposed to lights at nighttime. Mayor Standley said last year the field had been lit to take care of softball. There are too many capital improvement projects goang an the recreation department this summer to take on another one. Councilman De Gregorio said he would work with Armstrong to refine this proposal more to see if Council is interested in the light. Council 3. Councilman De Gregorio said there was a school board meeting scheduled for the second meeting and fourth Monday nights. He asked Council if there was any interest in Changing their change meeting nights to the first and third. There was no desire to change. Streets - 4.

Councilwoman Johnston reminded Council about a 208 planning meeting May 22nd in Glenwood Springs. 6. Councilman Behrendt said he had asked for continuing work on the small children's Children's park; repairs, maintenance, paint, putting sand underneath the swings and slides and park removing major rocks. Councilman Behrendt said that nothing has been done about this for ~wo years and wanted a definite date for the work completion. City Manager Mahoney said he would have the sand under the swings and slides by Tuesday, April 27th. Regu±ar mee~±n9 7. Councilman Behrend~ said he had taken a %our of the town; the downtown area is very clean. Everything outside the downtown looks neglected. Councilman Behrendt asked Town - not about changes in cleaning the outlying areas, and what the City intends to do about clean paving Midland and Hopkins between Third and Seventh. City Manager Mahoney said the street department will run two shifts on the street cleaner until the City is clean. Mahoney told Council that the City has $80,000 to penaprime or seal and chip the streets~ 8.

Ranyan said they were interested is the Holy Cross build- lng. Mayor Standley answered that the City had not yet acquired the Holy Cross building. City Manager Mahoney said there was a question an the legal department of how Holy Cross wanted to transfer the building. Mahoney said he did not expect an answer for a couple oi weeks. IDCA BUS REQUEST Mary Apple, representing IDCA, told Council they were request the same bus service as IDCA - bus last year. This request was outlined in a letter to Council; a slx day bus shuttle from request town to the Music Tent. Councilman Behrendt moved to grant the request; seconded by Councilman De Gregorio. Finance Director Butterbaugh told Council that Yank Mojo had taken this into considera- tion when he budgeted. All in favor, motion carried. ASPEN FOUNDATION FOR THE ARTS - Request for bus and Rubey Park King Woodward told Council that the Foundation planned to hang an invitational art Aspen Founda- exhibit in the Kreske building at the Aspen Meadows from June 4-13. Last year the tion for Arts Aspen Foundation for the Arts asked the City and County for money ~ith the stipulation bus request that they would not ask for money this year.

Diane Lewy explained that last year the Foundation had brought a great ar~ show to town and people felt it had not been up long enough. The Foundation planned to leave the exhibit up for about 10 days and wanted the transportation facility so that people could get to the Meadows. Woodward said the Foundation had decided not to use Rubey Park. All in favor, motion carried. ASPEN CENTER FOR ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES - Gift of P.I.F. Mayor Standley explained that the Aspen Center for Environmental Studies is the Hallam Gift of PIF Lake preservation group that had renovated the barn into a classroom. The Finance to Aspen Center Committee had recommended that the P.I.F. be an in-kind contribution to the A.C.E.S., for Environ- recognizing the value of that particular non-profit organization. Mayor Standley told mental studies Council that the Finance Committee had discussed whether annexation of the Hallam Lake preserve should be part of the decision. Mayor Standley and Councilwoman Johnston said felt it should; Councilwoman Pedersen and Ms. Butterbaugh felt it should not be tied in with annexation because of imminent urbanization. Councilman Behrendt said .he felt this was a worthwhile group, but that the exact donatio~ should not be tied to the amount of the PIF. Councilman De Gregorio said he did not lik~ the donation being tied to annexation at all. Mayor Standley pointed out that the money for any donation would have to come out of the Council's budget and then be transferred to the Water PIFs. Council decided to ask City Attorney Stuller's advice on the best way to transfer the money. Councilwoman Johnston moved to table consideration of this until the next meeting; seconded by Councilwoman Pedersen. Ail in favor, motion carried. MALL CONSIDERATIONS Planner Kane presented alternative actions for Galena and Cooper streets to tie in with Mall design the work to be done on the present mall. Plan A basically provides a bare minimum of considerations impact on Galena and Cooper. There are certain improvements that are necessary; plan A is something of a transition from malled and non-mailed streets. Plan A has limited paving at the intersection, includes no permanent landscaping, no stree furniture, no architectural lights, the irrigation water would be provided underground. There will be no storm drainage included for Galena and Cooper except it will be intercepted at the intersections. The plan amplies no parking disruption; 53 parking places will remain. Implied in the plan is the assumption of the acquisition of the Sinclair site. The cost for Plan A including demolition, paving, piping water, storm drainage is S90,000 with an additional $62,000 for brick in surplus for a total of $162,000. Plan A is the minimum disruption plan for the two streets. Plan C is the maximum program; the design philosophy is to do the most the City can in the physical improvements of the streets yet preserve the parking. Plan C includes full Mall brick paving for both streets (Galena and Cooper), development of Independence Square, design a full storm dYainage system. Parking would be 60° angle parking in the center of the considera- street with two drive lanes on either side of the parking. The impact of this design is tions that it reduces existing parking by 11 spaces (total 42 parking spaces). The plan would include irrigation piping, it would necessitate bring the irrigation water underground. The design advantage is the flexibility to convert this to a full mall; conversion costs would be $100,000. Total cost for this design is $270,000. Plan B is the middle ground; this approach takes advantage of some existing mall features and creates a boulevard for these two streets (Cooper and Galena). This plan includes paving at intersection, development of the property at Independence Square, summer temporary planters, implies parking on both sides of the street for a total of 36 parking spaces - loss of 17, there would be no permanent landscaping. The ~rrigation water would be delivered subsurface, no storm drainage except interceptors. The cost for this design is $93,000, plus a surplus brick cost of $62,000, for a total of $156,000. Kane told Council the planning office and designers are most in favor of plan c, which takes the most advantage of the original mall design. The Council will have to decide what issue the voters responded to. Plan C provides an aesthetic treatment to the streets with center parking, and deals with automobiles in a visually attractive way. Kane told Council that the costs for all of these plans was high. The costs do not include acquisiti n of the Sinclair property. City Manager Mahoney said the City had planned on leasing the Sinclair property; now there is just the traditional way of going after the property, through the market or condemnation. Councilman Parry said he felt this was a waste of time. If plans A, B, and C were presente before the election, it would be worth listening to. Councilman De Gregorio agreed and stated that plans B and C are the entire mall scheme, which is a way of subverting the election process. Councilman Behrendt agreed. Councilwoman Johnston questioned the irrigation features. Kane explained that all three designs have the same irrigation water implied; water will be brought to the existing mall underground. Plans A and B exclude any major storm drainage systems. Mayor Standley pointed out that Council had three decisions to make; choice of plans A, B, or C; bricks or no bricks; and Sinclair property decision. Councilman Behrendt moved to adopt scheme A; seconded by Councilman De Gregorio. All in favor, motion carried. Kane told Council that if there is ever a chance to do the entire five block mall design, Mall the City should have the surplus bricks. Kane also said thsse surplus bricks could be surplus used for replacement purposes. bricks Councilwoman Pedersen moved to go for the bricks; seconded by Councilwoman Johnston. Councilman De Gregorio said that the City was purchasing surplus bricks on a decision that has already been made and they would only be necessary for replacement purposes. Council- Sinclair man Behrendt said the brick could be used as an underlying design item for the entire property downtown area, even if the City never malls any more streets. All in favor with the exception of Councilman De Gregorio. Motion carried. Councilman Behrendt moved that City Manager Mahoney proceed to acquire the Sinclair propert~ if at all possible and return to Council with his findings; seconded by Councilman De Gregorio. Councilwoman Pedersen asked that the motion be amended to read the next Council meeting. All in favor, motion carried. P & Z REPORT TO COUNCIL A report from the P & Z on their goals and objectives had been submitted to Council. Mayor Standley asked that this report be discussed at a separate meeting. Mayor Standley stated P & Z these were a good set of goals and supportive of P & Z's rezonlng recommendations. This goals & report was scheduled as a regular agenda item on P & Z's May 4~th meeting, and Council objectives would attend. 651 MONARCH - Conceptual Subdivision Approval 651 Monarcl Hal Clark told Council this subdivision was four one-bedroom units located just below the Conceptual Caribou condominiums on Monarch street. One of the issues at the last Council meeting was approved the large cottonwood tree. Clark had met with County Extension agent Dave Boyle, and they felt they have this ~ssue resolved. The subdivision approval was tabled because of Council's concern of the status of a residential use in the L-2 area. The applicant had submitted a letter to Council stating that they would be willing to use this facility as a lodge use, either by contract with the Aspen Inn or another short term rental facility in the City. With these two items taken care of, the planning office recommends approval. The applicant, Hans Cantrup, told Council that tourist facilities for the subdivision would be the most logical use. Cantrup said he had not realized that short term rental was a concern. These will be quality units because the area they are located in calls for that type of unit. Councilwoman Johnston asked if Cantrup planned to sell the units individually. Cantrup said at some point they may be condominiumized, but pointed out that this area was not resident-oriented. Anyone buying a condominium in this area would be relying on a good income. Councilman De Gregorio moved to approve conceptual; seconded by Councilman Behrendt. Councilwoman'Johnston brought~ up employee housing. Cantrup said he provided employee housing at'the Aspen Inn for employees like managers, maintenance people. Cantrup stated he had always housed a certain amount of employees. All in favor, motion carried. GAYLORD - Conceptual Subdivision Approval Hal Clark told Council this is a request for conceptual for a subdivision consisting of Gaylord- five individual lots, one of which has a house and garage on it. The property is located Conceptual between Red Butte and Black Birch subdivisions and is zoned mandatory PUD. The plan approved requests five single family lots and shows a common area of 1.7 acres next to the river. The flood plain does not come up into the upper area. The P & Z recommended approval based on two considerations; a fisherman access be granted along the Roaring Fork river, and those conditions placed on the Black Birch subdivision. The engineering and planning departments recommend approval. Councilman Behrendt moved to approve conceptual given the conditions; seconded by Council- man Parry. All in favor, motion carried. COTTOHWOOD - Conceptual Subdivison Approval Hal Clark told Council this is another small development request, located across from the Clarendon on Ute avenue. The property is zoned R-6, mandatory PUD; they are request- Cottonwood- ing four units on 18,731 square feet. There will be 4400 square feet per unit. Clark Conceptual told Council he had requested the applicant change the name of the subdivision; the approved applicant agreed. The second item deals with parking; with four three-bedroom units, the required parking is 12 spaces. The P & Z and planning office agreed that the 12 spaces be reduced to 4 spaces to provide one space per unit because of the close proximit~ to the core area, and the design constraints with the cottonwood trees. The engineering department is concerned about the impact of the limited parking spaces; the applicant is willing to put in more spaces. Clark listed the additional concerns; an access ease- ment across the property, the need for additional right-of-way along Ute avenue, and a better look at parking at preliminary. With these conditions, the planning office recommends approval. Councilwoman Pedersen asked about the cottonwood trees. Clark answered that none of them would be disturbed. Councilman De Gregorio moved to approve conditional subdivision including the comments of the planning office and city engineer; seconded by Councilman Parry. All in favor, motion carried.
