RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
PLANNING , ZONING COMMISSION
JANUARY 19. 1993
Chairlady Jasmine Tygre called meeting to order at 4:37pm.
Answering roll call were Tim Mooney, David Brown, Sara Garton,
Richard Compton, Bruce Kerr and Jasmine Tygre, Roger Hunt was
excused.
COMMISSIONER COMMENTS
Sara asked about the Ronnie Marshal hot tub situation.
Staff brought Commission up to date on this.
Leslie reminded commission of joint work session with HPC on
February 9 in the Library.
And on March 4 there is an advanced planning commission training
on zoning and transportation issues. This will probably be in
Denver. Diane said there is money in the budget to pay for anyone
who wants to go to this training.
Kim informed commission that the item on the agenda 434 West
Smuggler has been withdrawn by the applicant.
Jasmine asked if there was public comment on the Conditional Use
Review for a second dwelling at 434 West Smuggler.
There was no public comment.
PUBLIC COMMENT
There was none.
RIO GRANDE SUBDIVISION
Jasmine opened the public hearing.
MOTION
Sara made a motion to continue this hearing to date certain of
February 2, 1993.
David seconded the motion with all in favor.

Jasmine opened the public hearing.
Leslie submitted the proof of public notice. (attached in record)
PZMl.19.93
She then made presentation as attached in record.
I would add one additional condition. "Prior to the first reading
at City Council and or January 26th, the applicant shall place
story polls on the site to indicate building height and width and
potential impacts to the view plain and some loss upon surrounding
users.
Richard stepped down from this hearing because of possible conflict
of interest.
Peggy Roland: I am a neighbor of this and not very happy with it
because of the congestion. Is this being city taxed? Is it a
county tax? Is it both? Or is it private?
? The land owners when the units have been transferred over will
basically get the same tax that anyone in the city does--a County
and a City tax bill. They will be taxed units which a rental unit
would not be.
Roland: But you are giving them a lower standard. Is that it?
Jasmine: We will continue with the hearing and then take public
comment and questions.
Marsha Goshorn did a history on the 2 year process of this project.
John Weedum, architect for the applicant: Went into more detail
of the process of this project.
Richard De Campo, architect: I worked with Randy on the design of
the units of this project. We were working under Employee Housing
guidelines. We have got 3 unit types. A I-bedroom unit, a 2-
bedroom unit and a 3-bedroom unit. Then using drawings and a model
he described the units.
The square footages for the I-bedroom 627sqft. For the 2-bedroom
unit it is 997sqft. For the 3-bedroom unit it is 1,195sqft.
Weedum: One of the things that was brought
area being too close to the parking lot.
fence here and a hedge for visual and sound
to 5 feet above the parking lot.
We have met with PPRG as well as the advisory board and have
modifications on the area of entry. We built close to FAR.
we have also allowed for each unit for expandability. with
added to the FAR it will still be under the total.

In the recommendation, this area of town is being studied for
lighting, sidewalks and curbs. This hasn't been addressed. There
is probably going to be sidewalks and lighting in this general
section of which we would be affected in this area. That is
something that is being studied by the city Engineering. We will
work with them when that comes to pass.
Bruce: You have 8 I-bedroom units, 52-bedroom units and 8 3-
bedroom units. I am not sure I understand #1 in this fact sheet.
Goshorn: We need to go back to the Housing Authority again. We
originally had come up with a price of $42,000 on the lowest level.
We call it category 1 because of the income criteria. Then when
the Housing Authority guidelines changed suddenly the price you
could charge dropped to $32,000. But we didn't want to open it
up to category 2 which is a much wider range of income. So if we
called it category 2 but set a maximum income on it then no one
with an income of over $26,000 which is actually above category 1,
it is $22,000 right not but still lower than the very low end of
category 2. It still hits the same group of people we wanted. We
didn't want it opened up to a much wider range of people.
Bruce: On your demographic sheet you have got a total of 17--
Goshorn: Actually we have more families than units. We are trying
to make sure we have backups.
Bruce: And the categories of these people don't necessarily match
up with what you have got going?
Goshorn: No. We actually have some people that are buying into
higher categories. If we wanted to do this all category I and the
County wanted to subsidize it we could fill it 100 times over.
Weedum: That is an economic planning issue that we have struggled
wi th since the beginning. We had to make a commitment to a certain
mix.
Bruce: You mentioned future expansions. will all of those have
to occur within the existing footprint?
Weedum: We have a I-bedroom expand of 150sqft. The 2-bedroom has
X amount of room that you could expand and the 3-bedroom. They are
physically designed for that purpose. The intent is that any
expansion is not authorized other than within.
Leslie: This is not a PUD because first it is not a PUD overlay
on the property to begin with.
Bruce: I am concerned about an individual property owner wanting
3
PZMl.19.93
to expand and change --
Goshorn: That will be handled in the covenants. They would
actually have to come before the condominium association that will
have review on those things.
Weedum: Another layer on top of that is that we would have our own
bylaws restricting to what we have designed. And if you have
anything different than that it would have to go through us anyway.
On top of that the Housing Authority would have to review it also.
Leslie: If they make changes into the open space that would be a
substantial amendment and would have to be reviewed.
Bruce: The I-bedroom units have the bathroom upstairs off the
bedroom. Is there any thought given to having a closet downstairs
for guests without having to have the guest go upstairs to access
the bathroom?
De campo: It has been talked about. That was considered by the
group not necessary for that size unit.
Bruce: What is under the stairwell?
Weedum: Under the stairwell we have area for TV and stereo built-
in system. And then there is washer/dryer in the I-bedroom. All
of them have a use for that space.
There was then explanation of sweat/equity.
Tim: What if the next generation doesn't have the organization and
the philosophy? And what if this place starts to run down? And
if there is no one to enact these levies for them not keeping their
property up or doing their sweat equity--what happens?
Goshorn: This will be like any other condominium association.
Tim: Are there any commercial applications to the philosophy of
the group? Are you going to in any way use this project to
generate revenue through any commercial ventures?
Weedum: I don't see how the group could have any economic
advantage of anything to use it other than being a consultant on
the projects across the country--and if some member like Richard
wants to go around and lecture for other communities wanting to do
the same thing. That is the only one I can think of.
Goshorn: We have talked about if someone within the group happens
to be a caterer and would like to rent out or use the common space
to do something like that. What it might do is bring down the
4
PZMl.19.93
assessments for everyone else.
Weedum: It would be very similar to any other homeowner's
association that has a common element--like the Gant for example.
The Gant would rent rooms to other people for revenue and that
revenue would be applied to offset your expenses.
Leslie: The AH Zone does not allow commercial within the zone.
Jasmine: Would your bylaws be subject to review and approval by
the Housing Authority?
Tom Baker, Housing:
review these.
We take a look at all of those.
We will
Leslie: Which includes a 6 month rental restriction. There will
be no short-terming of even the guest rooms.
Bruce: What is the purpose of the guest rooms in the common house?
Weedum: It is mainly a way to have guests come without having a
3-bedroom house if you only need a 2-bedroom house. It is going
to be limited time stayed. And then we might not even build them
depending on our budget. It is the wish list.
Jasmine then opened the hearing for public comment.
Patricia Hill: I am a neighbor of the project. And I am
interested and concerned about the property value. What is the
resale of this project based on? Is there room for appreciation
or is it going to hold the property values down in this area?
Baker: Based upon 15 years experience we have got a standard deed
restriction that allows for a 3% appreciation per year or CPl. And
then there are provisions for capital improvements that will also
be added to the value of the property. And there is a fairly
specific appendix to the deed restriction that identifies what
constitutes a central improvement in terms of adding retail value
of the units.
It maintains it's affordability. And that is pretty standard on
all the units that we have. Some may have a different percent
appreciation based on the economics at the time that they were
constructed. But currently we are looking at a restriction of 3%
plus capital improvements.
Hill: I am a little bit confused by the whole thing. I have a
condominium at Hunter Creek which is in the non deed-restricted
section. However we are totally surrounded with deed restricted
property which does hold the values down. So I am concerned about
5
PZMl.19.93
that because I wasn't aware of that when I bought the unit that I
would not have appreciation.
Baker: I think even the free market units have a deed restriction
on them in terms of minimum 6 month lease restriction.
Hill: I mean as far as the price of the property is concerned.
Peggy Roland: I am a neighbor to this. And it will increase the
traffic down there. You all will have to admit that. I walk a
great deal because I don't like to pollute the air. I have a
problem with this for that reason also. I would like to know if
we are subsidizing this as tax payers. How much as a tax payer am
I paying for this to have it putting the value of my property down?
Reid Haughey: When we looked at this project and the traffic
impacts we took a comparative analysis between the former Health
and Human Services and the proposed housing. Based on a national
average which mayor may not be a good figure in Pitkin County or
Aspen, you are looking at a difference between probably about 170
trips per day for a health and human services type activity. And
you are looking at probably 130 trips per day for a residential
unit. That number is a national average.
When factored in an extremely strong transit side and effectively
a free bus across the street which goes by Rubey and it's proximity
to the post office and Clark's Market. From a residential use
basis the traffic generation here the historical figures have
proven they will be much lower. And it may be higher than it is
today. But when you look at the 20 year historical use of the site
until the recent opening of the human services out at the Hospital
campus there will be a historical reduction in traffic.
Roland: Now what about the taxes?
Jasmine: Well, I am no tax expert. So I don't know what to tell
you about that except that it is my understanding about the taxes
that you pay are based upon the value of your property. And so
whatever you pay is based on that. I don't know how you can
actually take various things that your taxes go for and then apply
them to a block-by-block analysis where that money goes. I just
don't have the expertise for that.
Haughey: Another question is "How much is the public investing
into co-housing?"
Roland: Besides--we paid for that building that you are tearing
down.
Haughey: That is true. The analysis that we have done on this
6
PZMl.19.93
project compared to other projects results in our belief that the
subsidy into cO-housing is less for people to other projects. We
don't believe that there is any additional investment by the public
because of co-housing. So the question of how much money is going
in there is really a debate on how much the community is
subsidizing affordable housing.
Our experience has been that to produce affordable housing within
the city that the land has to be given and there is an additional
cash subsidy often times ranges from between 20 to 40 thousand
dollars a unit to be able to develop that. That is a lot of money.
One of the problems is they can't pay that all in one year. The
benefit from that unit comes over a 40 or 50 year period. But that
basically is the cost of developing housing within a metro area.
The subsidy to co-housing is under $20,000 plus the land.
Roland: I am a native here and my taxes went up 88%. My income
is going like this. (pointing down) So am I going to apply for one
of these? Is that what I should do? I can sell my property for
a nice price. Where do I go? You all think you are poor here and
this is the problem. But we who have lived here are getting
absolutely sacked!
Hill: I would like to add that I have lived here for 22 years.
I understand it is going to cost $250,000 to tear down the
building. That is another expense to the tax payers. The existing
old hospital building. It just seems to me that it is a great
waste of money on a perfectly good building that could be used for
some public purpose.
Haughey: I don't think that figure of $250,000 is accurate. I
think it is more in the range of $100,000. It has to be torn down.
That is what has to be done for environmentally hazardous
materials. Two years ago when there were studies as to whether
this was the best use of the building, the Housing Authority hired
an independent consultant which was Sutherland, Fallan architects
who have done previous renovations on that building so they are
most familiar with it.
They issued a report back to the Housing Authority as far as what
they thought was best for it in terms of developing that project
for affordable housing and their recommendation was that with the
exception of the newest wing of the building which does have a lot
of the mechanical electrical infrastructure that is up to code that
the building be torn down.
Hill: And that is the only use for this property?
Haughey: We went through a process a little over a year ago in
which this land in conjunction with what the County's wishes were
7
PZMl.19.93
and it was re-zoned to Affordable Housing. currently that is the
designated use for this property.
Hill: Unless I am totally misunderstanding it I thought it was
also available for public use for a community center type things
still. Not just for affordable housing.
Haughey: Not after a year ago when the zoning was changed. At one
point in time it was for public. Then about a year ago it was re-
zoned through a substantial process. And that is when public
hearings were done and then it was designated for AH zone.
Hill: So the only use for this whether the building is kept or
torn down this is for employee housing.
Haughey: That is correct.
Goshorn: The community block grant which helped build the Health
and Human Services building--one of the conditions of that
particular grant with the state was that this site be used for
employee housing. The minimum of 20 units. This site actually was
named in the Aspen Area Community Plan. It was named in the
Housing Production Plan in past years. This site has always been
in every report the City and County has ever done named for
employee housing once the use of the Health and Human Services
building was moved to the other building.
Weedum: Just to clarify the numbers for money for the building and
saving the building. We have done reports and the budget was in
excess of $250,000 to take the asbestos out and demo the building.
At one point that figure was even higher because the asbestos--
the rules changed. That had to be done whether we keep the
building or not. The actual demo of the building ranged from
$60,000 to $100,000 to actually tear the building down.
Essentially all that is there is a structure--a physical shell.
If I was to go in there right now and open up the doors I would
have to be improving the building more than 50%. If I improve the
building more than 50% then I have to bring the whole building up
to code. So I would be putting in a new electrical system, heating
systems and probably have to redo the roof. So functionally it has
reached functional obsolescence because of when it was built and
what it was used for. Now it is cheaper to tear the building down
and build one just exactly like it than to work around the existing
structure in most cases.
Jasmine asked if there were any more public comments.
Haughey: Can I make just one quick comment. I intentionally tried
to stay quiet and just can't do it. I want to make quick comments
8
PZMl.19.93
on what I see of the vitality of this project--the creativity and
the public investment.
In over 2 years that the County has worked with this group in
bringing this project forward I think we have worked in a very
positive way. with one notable exception we have stayed completely
out of the way. What you see here tonight is not the product of
bureaucrats sitting around trying to figure out what is best for
putting a product on the market. This is a project that was put
together by the individuals all of whom have their claim to
residency in the community as well. To say what they think. So
to me there has been a lot of vitality that we have all talked
about and how to keep the public and citizens involved. And the
process for us is a real good example and we are excited about it.
And it has led to some creative solutions like the common house and
the use of the building that is there. The majority of the
hospital that is left is put into another use. The parts of the
hospital that always troubled us from a business point of view, our
maintenance budget for that building was running up around $100,000
a year because it was in horrible shape. And we were having a lot
of problems with roof leaks. Some of the foundations in this area
were from the original hospital put in in the 1890s. The building
had always been kind of slapped together.
The other part is that often times in planning activities you find
that there is the street and parking and a variety of rectilinear
engineering solutions to things. And these folks, left to their
own, created this little community. So I think there was a lot of
creativity in this.
Finally, is the public investment. Because we have a concern about
the public investment and this asset will be here hopefully for 50
or more years. I can't honestly say that co-housing will be here
for 50 or more years. And so we have an obligation to assure that
the pUblic's money does not go to waste. We feel that we have done
that by the notable exception that we mentioned earlier which is
that this project has to survive without co-housing. That was the
limitation we put on it. And in a way it has to survive in spite
of cO-housing in that it has to fit into the housing guidelines,
has to be a product that can be sold on that open market--that deed
restricted market in the future. We have to make sure the
individuals who are involved in the cO-housing qualify with the
guidelines so that we can protect our investment. So speaking on
behalf of the County we feel that we have been over-intrusive, if
you will, in this process in trying to protect the pUblic's
investment and have managed to do it. The end result is that their
activity may be a little bit limited but I don't think that that
is bad because it has resulted in a product that is marketable if
co-housinq decides toniqht that they have just had it and they all
9
PZM1.19.93
walk out. with the exception of the doors which I am sure we could
negotiate and come in and complete the project.
Jasmine then closed the public hearing.
The matters before us tonight are subdivision. In order for the
project to be developed they must receive subdivision approval or
at least a recommendation from this body to City Council to approve
the subdivision review.
There are various criteria which are applicable. They are all
mentioned in our memo. And I would suggest that we start with
going through the subdivision approval and see if there are any
problems with that. There are various conditions as part of the
subdivision approval.
Leslie: I have already added the one condition of approval with
regard to the storage. And then I would add 2 other conditions of
approval.
#10 would be the story poles.
#11. The following changes shall constitute a substantial change
to the approved subdivision. Reduction of open space. Additional
bedroom and conditional square footage added to the common house.
Richard:
Leslie:
Jasmine:
Leslie:
Additional bedrooms being exterior or interior?
Both. Because we will get mumble
#11 is to define changes that would~rigger are-review.
Right.
Any other changes, any additional square footage we will require
a building permit and require insubstantial subdivision or approval
by the planning director.
The last condition--the guest room in the common house shall not
be used as lodge rooms or dormitory.
Goshorn: Regarding the story poles. The way they had mentioned
it it would mean staking every building. I went up to the site
and took pictures. This part of Hunter Longhouse, there are no
windows on this side of the building. So there is no one who is
going to be looking over it. Lone pine is over here and from the
pictures there are really no windows which would look over this
project. The only one who would have any kind of possible visual
impact is right back here. She is actually--this is a hill that
goes up and she is like down in a gully right on the river. She
might possibly see part of this. What I am asking is will we have
to stake every building?
10
PZM1.19.93
Leslie: I thought if you had 12 poles--one on each end of each
separate building that stake each end and the height for all 6
buildings then people would be able to see coming from Lone pine
or Red Mountain and then the Cowee and the 0' Danes could be
hopefully satisfied that their view will not be impacted.
Weedum: I have always represented that we would put poles up for
Mrs. Cowee just because she had concern and for her benefit because
she is our neighbor.
The view plain from the road system was brought up at a PPRG
meeting. I don't think it was a heavy concern. Their interest was
that maybe we need to landscape the berm which we want to have done
anyway. So if there is a concern of vision impact from the 2 roads
then that is one issue. If it is visual impact from the adjoining
neighbors to the north, we already represented we would do it for
them. The front one I think is overkill.
Goshorn: The high point is 22 feet and the City code is 25 feet.
It was decided by Commission not to require poles on all the
building sites.
DeCampo: #3--Language dedicating the ROW. I would ask that to
read "Language dedicating the ROW which mav be 80 feet wide or a
width agreed to and determined with the City Engineering Office
and/or the city Attorney".
Jasmine: What I would like to request is that if someone would
make a motion to move we recommend to City Council approval of the
subdivision GMQS exemption, etc. based on the revised condition and
have a second it then we could discuss it.
Sara: I so move.
David seconded the motion.
For the record this has been rezoned for affordable housing. I
think it is appropriate that the community has additional employee
housing that it be focused perhaps as an addition to the housing
that is already there. That any raise in taxes is--the recent
raise in taxes is due to a recent re-evaluation of property taxes
due to state-wide laws that kicked in about 5 years ago.
Those are conditions to life and any action this Board takes will
have no effect on relieving those conditions. I think the impact
of affordable housing and property values in recent history is that
it has little or no effect on market conditions.
11
PZMl.19.93
Sara: I feel that creating a project like this for families and
employees is more a community benefit than a half empty substandard
community building.
David: I also think that this is going to reduce the traffic
impact of bringing workers up and down valley.
Jasmine: I think it is very exciting that you people have put this
kind of work into a project like this. I appreciate that we need
employee housing as much as anyone as I am at the very low end of
the scale.
It is very easy to complain about employee housing. But when you
have more than 200 people applying for 11 units over in the East
Hopkins project it lets you know that this is not some kind of
frivolous thing. This represents a very significant need in the
community. And the extent to which people can take the initiative
as you people have done to bring the project this far I think is
tremendously praiseworthy. And I think you have done a great job.
Roll call vote:
Tim, yes, sara, yes, Bruce, yes, David, yes, Jasmine, yes.
ZALUBA 8040 WALL AMENDMENT
Leslie made presentation as attached in record.
John Weedum, Architect: I had no participation in the original
design concepts so I really don't know what they were other than
from a verbal description.
The way the wall was designed here after the excavation was
complete over a year or so ago over the first cut of the road the
soil was visibly stable due to the character of the stone in the
area. It is basically a dry stack soils condition in that whole
general area. So after looking at that and talking with the soils
engineer who made the first reports in the original design of the
retaining walls we looked at their soils report and said the soils
conditions are that your soil is pretty stable in its own
structural make up. And that it is not a clay wall and it is not
a boulder wall so that you are not needing retainage because the
wall is acting as its own retaining wall.
What you need to do is control erosion, reflow and retainage on
your road and any type of damage to the toe of the hill. So based
on those comments I worked with the structural engineer on what
would accomplish that the most efficiently. Taking each section
into mind and using the recommendations of basically scraping the
hill back using the hydromulch technique for controlling erosion
12
PZMl.19.93
that that would probably be the least disturbance to the area. The
hydromulch and the structure at the base would basically not be
used for retainage so much as to hold back any falling rocks and
reflow also would take the drainage from the mountain before it
hits the road and take it behind the wall and then by the way the
road design is draining into the hill so all the water would drain
on the inside of the wall to go down to a distribution point.
So this concrete stemwall is what was the best solution. Then
there is space behind it for the reflow of the water to congregate.
And then the hydromulch plan would be done in accordance with the
specs. Basically scrape it so it is an acceptable surface for
pitch and for adherence and that there is some kind of come back
next year and check on it and maybe touch up in places. But that
would handle all of your drainage. All your debris from falling
down the hill. And it would be visually very small impact. It is
not very deep because it doesn't have to have this huge footer.
By doing it this way I can cut a minimal amount of damage to the
hill and accomplish my objective. If I went with a boulder wall-
-same problem. I am stacking up a boulder wall--I need to start
with boulders a certain dimension. So therefor I have got to cut
the hill back in order to place the boulder there to get the same
physical solution to the problem.
If I went with a tie-crib wall the same principle applies. I would
have to cut back X amount of feet in order to get my cribbing to
hold my wall from falling over therefore I have more hillside that
I have got to handle. So that was the rational for doing this
approach. What we have used was a concrete stemwall system which
can either be cast in place or can be pre-cast in modular units and
brought in and set. It is not a question so much of visual. I can
make it look the same with quality control on how you do your
seams. But we do need seams in the wall for functional reasons
that allow some water for overflow.
It does serve a functional purpose to have expansion joints. What
I am doing is exposed aggregate concrete. So whether it is precast
or cast in place I will have that same aggregate finish. The
colors of the aggregate and the concrete can be made to blend into
the existing colors of the stone on the hill that are there.
So I think it functions. Can solve the problem with the least
amount of cutting the least disturbance and visually is the most
compatible with what is there.
Rob Thomson, city Engineer: This is an alternate solution. My
only concern as far as the joints and they are trying to eliminate
the seams in there but the more i got to look at it any normal
precast wall would have to have expansion joints in it too. You
13
PZMl.19.93
may get a few more seams but the lower heights will definitely take
away from that.
Jasmine: But as far as safety standpoint and accomplishing--
Thomson: We had several letters from the soils engineer and he
went out and looked at it and last Fall they were saying it is
basically stable and can last through the winter and that is when
his soil engineer came back and took another look at it physically
from--it had been sitting there for 2 years like it was. So that
is where I accepted the alternative.
Jasmine: So as far as you are concerned this would be an
acceptable alternative.
Thomson: Yes. I do have one question. Where are you going to
handle the drainage work? It originally had a couple of drywells.
Weedum: I think we were doing this as somewhat of a drywell. That
will still be maintained all the way down. So we have got built-
in retention all the way down.
Sara: Why won't the water if it builds up behind freeze and then
start popping out the aggregate?
Weedum: I am not a water engineer but I will give you what I can.
The reason the material is here is crushed rock is like a drywell.
It could freeze but you are going to ave water basically coming
down below and it will seek it's lowest level. So in the winter
time when this is frozen, this is frozen also. When this starts
thawing, it will thaw too and the engineers feel that by doing this
system that when it starts melting it will go into the rocks and
act like a big drywell all the way down the road.
Sara: Is it like a gutter where you have to get behind there and
clean out the debris every spring.
Weedum: I don't believe so.
Thomson: I think you would have the same problems you have for a
retaining wall. You still have backup behind there. You do holes
for the water to get out from behind it. That is the idea of the
seams so the water has a place to travel to get out.
Weedum: So this is like a big sponge here. The water has a place
to collect and then it will--you cut the wall out and backfill with
all your gravel and all your drainage material and put your top
soil in the very top and then you hydromulch the top so that it is
a complete system.

The water going down the other side of the road is traveling in a
whole different drainage system. And it has got a drywell of
gravel--it is a glorified gutter with gravel in it so that all the
water that is flowing down that road will go into the drywell
basically as it is going down the road. That is the concept.
Richard: The idea is that it will go into the drywell and seep
into the ground more than it will run off?
Weedum: Historically--I have been up there every time of the year
and there is no evidence over the last 2 years of any substantial
amount of water going down and across the road except right behind
the Rappaports where you have got a natural swell that is pushing
it over.
Bruce: This solution is less expensive than what was originally
approved.
Weedum: Just looking at X amount of concrete I would say yes you
have got twice as much concrete than you had before.
Bruce: We are
Thomson: No.
Bruce: ?
not ?___ on our bond requirements.
___?=== are based on this type of system.
Just checking it out.
Tim: What is going to be the finish surface on the whole road?
Weedum: I don't think it has ever been discussed.
Tim: Is there any kind of consistent curb or rim or is it just
going to be as it drops off. I am concerned about the other side
of the road.
Thomson: There is a little bit of a build up there. The road is
sloping into--
Rob: This area down here there is some concern that going through
the beginning the actual cut there right now is probably the only
12 to 15 feet or something like that. Mr. Zaluba's comment at the
time were "The first 12 feet is mine and if there is anything left
over that is the trail". Which means that at some point there
wouldn't be a full 8 foot wide trail. So what I want to make sure
is that we have full 20 feet through there of flat surface not part
of the edge of the easement or the trail would have been 6 feet of
flat and 2 feet of slope.
Leslie: The actual easement compared to the road is ___mUmble___

Marti: The bigger concern came from when we first started the
design having the barrier between which was going to take up some
of the land and to where that came out. But now that we have taken
that out ___mumble___
Weedum: Now we don't have the barrier. And then what we have done
too is that I had the engineer shelve the thing further up the hill
and more out so that we had a 20 foot bench. So we are addressing
that and we agreed that it will be a 20 foot plus or minus bench
on all sections of the road.
Thomson: Item #5 in the recommendations.
Leslie: I would add--we are not sure that the hydromulching
includes both sides of the road.
Thomson: The down side they were going to hydromulch wherever it
needed to be or wherever it was disturbed. And the 30% was overall
contract if the City has to take it over. That is why the 30% does
need to be in there.
Leslie: OK. And I would like to amend condition #7 to throw that
one out and add "This approval is subject to all terms and
conditions of the findings and order resolution of December 15,
1992". That way we don't have to ___mUmble___
And I would also add item #8 based upon David's comments--"The
applicant shall adhere to all representations made during the
conditional review."
David: And #5 gets what language?
Leslie: #5 we added that this is already included in the original
letter of credit. I read into the record what #7 is and added #8.
MOTION
David: I will move to amend the 8040 Greenline approval with the
following condition #1 through #6 as stated in the staff memo as
previously modified by Leslie's language for #7 and #8 as also
stated by Leslie. (attached in record)
Richard seconded the motion with all in favor.
Meeting was adjourned. Time was 7:05p.m.
