COMMISSIONERS I COMMER'.rS Alan Richman, Planning Director, told the Commissioners that in order to secure the City Hall building the back door will be locked at 5: 00 pm, Monday through Friday, and on the weekends. The front door will be locked at 8: 00 pm. Richman asked the Commissioners for their input as to how they would like to get access to their City business information currently put in their boxes at the back door. The Commissioners suggested relocating their boxes to the front door or rental postal boxes to be placed in front of City Hall. Richman told the Commissioners there was a need for a special meeting on January 28, 1986 to score residential GMP applications because they have to be scored in the month of January. The Commissioners agreed with the exception of Anderson who had a previous commitment. MINUTES October 29. 1985 and November 5. 1985: Hunt asked that the second motion on page 2 be stricken as it was incorrect procedure. Hunt moved to adopt the minutes of October 29, 1985, as amended, and the minutes of November 5, 19851 Tygre seconded. All in favor1 motion carried. HEW BUSINESS LIFT 1. WILLOUGHBY PARK PRO.TECT Alan Richman explained this was a conceptual SPA submission because the site is zoned park which requires the area and bulk requirements to be set by SPA. There are no use variations allowed. Richman said the City originally sponsored this project to have a consultant look at a multi-use facility on the Rubey Park 1 RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS REGULAR MEE'rING PLAN1IIING lum ZONING COMMISSION DECEMBER 17. 1986 site. When it was presented to Council the members were upset about the size of the building proposed. Their direction from that meeting was that they are not interested in looking at the office uses on the site at all. Council committed themselves strongly to the Ski Club building on the site and authorized the planning office to move ahead and identify the appropriate site location. Council also asked the planning office to determine whether a ski museum would fit on the site but did not authorize moving forward with the development. The Commission is not being asked to approve a ski museum with this submission. Richman said the Commission was being asked to look at the Ski Club footprint only at this time. Steve Burstein, planner, explained the plans for the project. Burstein referred to and explained his memorandum dated December 12, 1985 outlining the planning offices concerns with regard to the project. Anderson asked how the land was acquired. Richman replied that at least part of the property came to the City as part of the Lift lA relocation. Hunt asked what the condition of the use of the existing parking off of Dean St. was. Richman said there were no conditions associated with Willoughby Park itself. Hunt asked the Commissioners to keep in mind that the Aspen Mountain Lodge will be exiting their trucks on to Dean Street, therefore, there will be problems. Richman commented that the area would only be one of the Aspen Mountain Lodge truck exi ts. Burstein outlined 4 plan schemes for the project. The planning office was recommending scheme .3 with 10 conditions of approval (outl ined in the planning office memorandum dated December 12, 1985). Bill poss, for applicant, said they agreed that scheme t's 3 and 4 were the most optimum plans for the city to develop on that site. Blomquist said he favored scheme #2 without the ski museum. Schemes .3 and t4 block the current ski pattern on the mountain. Markalunas asked if there was a possibility of a parking structure ever being put over the current parking lot? She thought it should be considered. Richman responded that the planning office had been looking at the possibilities. Markalunas also asked if 2 RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS REGULAR MEETING PLAN1IIING ANn ZONING COMMISSION DECEMBER 17. 1986 there was a reason 1 building incorporating both uses was not being considered. Richman said they only had authorization to proceed with the ski club at this time. White said he liked schemes 3 and 4. White also commented that there was a tremendous amount of parking in the area that needed to be retained for Lift 1. Hunt said he agreed with White concerning transportation and parking in the area. Hunt preferred scheme '4, but nestled over the volley ball court, leaving more of a pathway. Hunt said the only way he could consider scheme #2 would be if the future museum was on top of the volley ball court. Hunt thought the buildings should be kept away from old Lift 1 so it did not have to compete with a new building. Tygre disagreed with Hunt regarding the volley ball court, thinking they had a historic value and were in a very popular location. Tygre said the main problem she had with all of the plans submitted was having to deal with the future museum, as well as the ski club. If the museum did not have to be deal t with there would be more options as to where to put the building and still have plenty of open space on the site. Tygre's preference for the ski club was scheme #2. Richman said the focus should be on where the ski club should be located, not the museum. Motion: Blomquist moved that it is the sense of the Planning Commission that the ski museum should never be located on Willoughby Park because Willoughby Park is too small1 Tygre seconded. Discussion: White commented that he liked the motion but did not know if he wanted to totally exclude the museum since he did not know what would be proposed. Markal unas commented that she did not think there was enough information to vote on this motion. Anderson asked for a roll call vote: Blomquist aye Markalunas no Tygre aye 3 RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS REGULAR MEETING PLAN1IIING ANn ZONING COMMISSION DECEMBER 17. 1986 Hunt no Peyton no White aye Anderson no There were 3 in favor, 4 opposed1 motion was denied. Peyton said she thought the historic ski path should be preserved. She did not want to see the ski museum on that space but was not prepared to say absolutely never. Peyton said she preferred scheme #4, moved closer to the volley ball courts, with no museum. Anderson agreed with Peyton. Anderson questioned if the museum could become part of the lift building and commented that schemes 1,2, and 3, with the museum, encroach in to existing parking. Anderson read a letter from the Southpoint Condominiums expressing their desire for the project size to remain similar to the current structures volume. Markalunas asked how large the current Lift 1 building was. Mr. poss replied approximately 2000 sq. ft. Motion: Hunt moved to adopt scheme #4 with a modification of moving the ski club building as close to the volley ball courts as possible, subject to the conditions listed in the Planning Office memorandum dated December 12, 19851 Peyton seconded. Discussion: Blomquist said the volley ball court users enjoy the glade in the park here and this project will destroy that. White said he would like to have the motion amended to put the building in the general location where it is best suited, depending on where the ski-in/ski-out access is. Hunt agreed to amended his motion "to preserve as much of the traditional ski trail as possible". Peyton amended her second. White, Blomquist, and Tygre opposed, all others in favor1 motion carried. 4 (' RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS REGULAR MEE'rING PLA_ING ANn ZONING COMMISSION DECEMBER 17. 1986 CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARING MUNICIPAL CODE AllERDMER'.r ~lQyee Housing Motion: Hunt moved to adopt Resolution '85-23, Tygre seconded. Discllssion: Richman said Whereas #3 should include the wording "and to state the following findings" at the end of the first sentence. Richman also said Section 3 of this Resolution outlines the section of the code that allows an FAR bonus even though they do not provide housing on site. The approach in the Resolution as it is, is to repeal that section of the code. Richman thought to be clear it should be changed to read: "applicants that do not provide employee housing on the same site as a remainder of the development shall not be eligible for the FAR bonus". Richman thought that should be the language of Section 24-ll.l0(e) of the Municipal Code, eliminating the current language. Hunt agreed to include both of Richman's modifications in his motion, Tygre agreed to amend her second. All in favor1 motion carried. Anderson adjourned the meeting at 5:55 p.m. ~~~uM~/1- Kim Wilhoit, Deputy City Clerk , 5
