Answering roll call were Steven Buettow, Marta Chaikovska, Tim Mooney, Sara Garton, Jasmine Tygre and Bruce Kerr. Robert Blaich and Roger Hunt were excused. COMMISSIONER COMMENTS Sara: I got a call from KAJX. Spring on the dish. They have to hold painting until Bruce: I will eat a plate of "Crow" because I must say I was not in favor of paid parking. And I am astounded and amazed and pleasantly surprised as it relates to me personally and to my business. I can't speak for the restaurants or retailers. I don't know how they are doing. I find it very refreshing. I am willing to eat as big a plate of "Crow" as someone wants to give me. Frankly I hope we will wait until after the summer season to have an election so we can see how it works in the summer. It appears to be working, at least from my standpoint, in the winter time. r'"~ I am anxious to see how it will work in the summer time. Jasmine: I agree with Bruce as far as waiting until after the summer. I think the summer will be really key for us to evaluate paid parking. I hate to see a decision made before we have had a chance to see what happens in the summer. Bruce: Let the record show this is not a political statement. Walking around town I feel safer crossing the street. I look out the front door of my lodge and I can actually see Wagner Park. There are not vehicles scattered everywhere. There are no cars parked on the east side of Wagner Park. It is incredible. STAFF COMMENTS Leslie: Presented reso for the Youth Center. You asked me to re- word the language on the conditions of approval for the Youth Center. John Worcester has looked this over and has made some comments. Perry has some concern with the wordage regarding the kitchen. J1i '1:1 Perry Harvey, representative for Youth Center: I think it is an important thing what we want to use the kitchen for. My concern is that this language just reads that it must be as an extension of the school program. My concern is that somewhere down the line someone could come in and say that is the only time you can fire "'"', 1 -- up the kitchen. '-' We talked about catering events at the Youth Center. We talked about special events and getting some revenue out of that kitchen. My concern is that it says it must be-- We can't get it started for this winter term with the schools because of the delays we have had. So I would like to see some language that recognizes that we want to use this as a vocational lab for the schools. But I don't want to tie it so that the use of the kitchen must be for that. Bruce: Why don't we change the word "must" to "should" on the first page. Also change the wording "as long as" to "so long as". And then the AYC states that the kitchen "should" operate as an educational extension of the school. Condition #3 the 3rd line from the bottom of condition #3--"Operation of the kitchen "should" be an educational extension of the school to the greatest extent possible, and no advertising as a retail center". Perry: That is fine. Leslie: And then I just added 2 additional conditions of approval. "All material representations shall be adhered to". And #8--An annual review of the amended program shall be conducted by the Commission at Staff's or the Commissioner's request". John Worcester added the last phrase--" In it's sole discretion by resolution until such time as the Planning Commission in it's sole discretion by resolution terminates this condition. MOTION Sara: I move to approve the resolution of the Aspen Planning & Zoning Commission recommending to Aspen City Council the amended Specially Planned Area final development approval for the Aspen Youth Center with the additional amendments as stated in this meeting of January 17, 1995. Jasmine seconded the motion with all in favor. . PUBLIC COMMENTS There were none. The regular session of this meeting was then adjourned. Time was 4:55 P.M. Commission members then continued with a work session. ~- 2
