Memorandum
TO: Mayor and City Council
THRU: Randy Ready, Assistant City Manager
FROM: John D. Krueger
DATE: June 8, 2004
RE: Finding of Substantial Compliance — Aspen Highlands Village and Moore Family
PUD Transportation Plan
SUMMARY:
Attached for your review and approval is a memo outlining the revised terms of the
Transportation Plan contained in the Subdivision Improvement Agreements (SIA) for the Aspen
Highlands Village PUD (AHV), the Moore Family PUD and other associated approval
documents. This memo details the transportation requirements and staff finding as to
compliance. After considerable review and negotiation, staff finds that the transportation
requirements are in "substantial compliance" with the terms and conditions in the original
agreement. City Staff is asking the Mayor and City Council to make a "Finding of Substantial
Compliance" in regard to the transportation requirements and revised terms.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
Staff has previously provided the Council with updates on the progress on the various
transportation requirements of these two developments. Council has previously met with
representatives of Hines Highlands Limited Partnership (Hines) and the Aspen Highlands
Commercial Metropolitan District (Metro District) to discuss the various transportation
requirements of both developments. The majority of these requirements have been complied
with.
BACKGROUND:
City Staff has been meeting and corresponding on a regular basis with representatives of Hines
and the Metro District for the past two years to resolve the numerous and complicated
transportation requirements in the many approval documents for the Aspen Highlands Village
(AHV) and Moore Family PUD. The majority of these transportation requirements have been
successfully resolved. The main requirement taking the most time to resolve and reach
agreement on was the Dial A Ride service. The Dial A Ride service requirement is detailed in a
three -page operations plan in Exhibit D of the SIA for the AHV. City Staff, Hines and the Metro
Districts have now agreed upon a Dial A Ride service plan that is now in place that fulfills the
requirement in the SIA. As the transportation requirements are numerous and contained in
various documents, a summary is attached for your review.
DISCUSSION:
The Aspen Highlands Village and Moore Family Developments both have extensive
transportation mitigation requirements associated with their approvals. These requirements were
part of the original County approvals in 1998 and were inherited by the City upon annexation.
City staff has been working with Hines and the Metro Districts to achieve compliance. The
majority of the transportation requirements have been fulfilled. Until recently, staff, Hines and
the Metro District have been unable to come to agreement on the requirement for Dial A Ride
service to the developments. The SIAs contain a specific and detailed plan for the Dial A Ride
Service that was unacceptable to Hines and the Metro District. After lengthy negotiation Hines
and the Metro District have proposed and implemented a flexible demand responsive Dial A
Ride service plan that is very different from the original Dial A Ride Plan. A copy of the revised
detailed Transportation plan is attached as Exhibit 4. City Staff feels that while the proposed
plan is different, it can meet the objectives of the original plan with some additional and revised
conditions included in it. These conditions are listed in the Finding of Substantial Compliance
under the Staff Findings. These additional/revised requirements relate to the Traffic, Transit and
Parking Plan, the Dial A Ride Reporting, and the marketing and promotional efforts.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
There are no financial implications for the City. The transportation requirements and their
associated costs have been and will be borne by Hines and the Metro District.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Aspen City Council make a "Finding of Substantial Compliance" with
regard to the transportation requirements contained in the Subdivision Improvement Agreements
for the Aspen Highlands Village PUD, the Moore Family PUD and other associated approval
documents. The Finding of Substantial Compliance would be conditioned on the revised and
additional requirements contained in this memo.
ALTERNATIVES:
City Council could decide against making a `Finding of Substantial Compliance" and require
that Hines and the Metro District comply with the original transportation requirements as stated
in the Subdivision Improvement Agreements for the Aspen Highlands Village PUD, the Moore
Family PUD and other associated approval documents. .
PROPOSED MOTION:
I move to approve a Finding of Substantial Compliance for the revised Transportation Plan as
specified in the attached memo for the Aspen Highlands Village and Moore Family PUDs.

Transportation Conditions of Approval
Condition 8. RFTA Payments -page 4
Owner shall implement the phasing plan that clearly identifies the ridership threshold on the
existing Castle/Maroon Roaring Fork Transit Agency (RFTA) route that will trigger a
requirement for the owner to make a payment to RFTA for the purchase and operation of one (1)
additional bus on the route. (See Exhibits "A " and "D')
Staff Finding - Compliance
The Owner (HINES HIGHLANDS LIMITED PARTNERSHIP) has fulfilled this condition of
approval. The owner has made payment in full to the City of Aspen for the purchase of one (1)
additional bus to be used on the Direct Maroon Creek Road route. Payment for the bus was
made to the City on September 15, 2002.
The new bus began operating on the Direct Maroon Creek Road route beginning in December
2002. This is a change to the original requirement in Exhibit D of the SIA for AHV. Exhibit D
specified that the additional bus should operate on the Castle/Maroon route. The developer,
Metro Districts and City staff agreed to change the route to operate directly from Rubey Park to
the Aspen Highlands Village. The bus operates on 30-minute headways from Rubey Park. The
service provides five trips per hour on the route. The winter hours of operation currently are
0530 am until 12:00 midnight seven days a week during the ski season.
The Direct Maroon Creek Road service during the winter season is an ongoing annual obligation
for the Metro Districts. The Aspen Highlands Metro District (AHMD) will continue to
compensate the City of Aspen for bus service operated by RFTA on the Direct Maroon Creek
Road route during the winter season lasting approximately 130 days. The service began on
November 28, 2002 and will operate every year. Payment for the service will be made to the
City of Aspen on a monthly basis. An annual Service Agreement between the City of Aspen and
the AHMD for winter service was entered into by both parties and approved by Aspen City
Council on October 22, 2002. The contract is automatically renewed every year.
Condition 10. Traffic and Transit Parking Plan -page 4
The owner shall implement a traffic/transit/parking monitoring system plan, which shall include
measures to ensure increased mitigation actions if monitoring shows that the mitigation is not
adequate. The owner shall administer the monitoring plan through the conclusion of Phase 4 of
the construction, and for three (3) years thereafter. Annual reports shall be submitted to the
Community Development Department for the County and RFTA review. If traffic impacts exceed
traffic projections, additional; mitigation in the form of transit mitigation may be required. The
monitoring system shall address the following issues:
(a) If the trips generated by AHV exceed the projections contained in the "Revised Maroon
Creek Corridor Detailed Transportation Plan ", dated February 1997, so as to require
mitigation for those additional impacts, the additional mitigation required by the Owner
must be approved by the BOCC based upon the recommendations of the Pitkin County
Community Development Department and any appropriate referral agency (e.g. RFTA
and /or Pitkin County engineering Department.
(b) If the trips generated are lower than the projections contained in the "Revised Maroon
Creek Corridor Detailed Transportation Plan " dated February, 12997, the Owner shall
be entitled to suggest a reduction in the traffic mitigation programs then being funded.
Such reduction shall be based upon a finding by the BOCC that the reduction is
appropriate: provided however that the Owner shall not be entitled to a refund for any
portion of its infrastructure donation described in Paragraph 17 below.
Staff Finding - Compliance
Hines and the Metro Districts have agreed to provide the traffic/transit/parking monitoring
system plan as prescribed in the SIA for Aspen Highlands Village through June 2008. Staff finds
this acceptable with the caveat that the reports be submitted no later than 60 days after the ski
season as required in the 1997 Aspen Highlands Ski Area Master Plan and that the reports meet
or exceed the data collected and reported in previous reports as required in approval documents.
Hines and the Metro Districts also understand, that no significant changes to the transportation
plan can be made until a monitoring and reporting system is reinstated and adequate data is
collected over an adequate period of time so that staff can make informed decisions about the
adequacy of the service and any proposed changes can properly be evaluated.
Condition 13. Dial -A -Ride -page 5
Owner agrees to implement a "Revised Aspen Highlands Village Castle/Maroon and Dial -a -
Ride Service Plan " as set forth in the detailed plan attached hereto as Exhibit "D ", the costs of
which are set forth in Exhibit "A ".
Exhibits A & D are attached
Staff Finding — Substantial Compliance
The Dial A Ride service is an integral part of the approved and agreed to transportation plan
contained in the SIA and various other approval documents for Aspen Highlands Village. The
Dial A Ride service is considered an on -going service to be provided in perpetuity to serve the
residents of the developments.
The developer has proposed and is operating a Dial A Ride that is significantly different from the
detailed and comprehensive plan contained in Exhibit D as a condition of approval and as agreed
to in the SIA. While different, staff feels that it meets or exceeds the requirements in Exhibit D
of the SIA
A copy of the Aspen Highlands Transportation Plan by Felsburg Holt & Ullevig dated November
17, 2003 is attached as Exhibit 1. The Transportation Plan contained in this document is
considered as the basis of the Dial A Ride service plan. City staff agrees that the flexible
demand responsive service Dial A Ride plan in place and currently operating as part of the
Transportation Plan is that meets the intent of the fixed schedule Dial A Ride plan in Exhibit D
of the SIA. The currently operated Dial A Ride plan establishes the "base level of service" for
Dial A Ride. This base level of service has and will continue to be sustained and funded by the
Districts into the future.

Summary of Current Services
• Hours of Operation: Between 20.5 and 24 hours per day, 365 days a year.
• Number of Vehicles:
➢ 2 — Turtle Top Vans (14 passengers each)
➢ 5 — Suburbans (7 passengers each)
➢ 1 — Tahoe (5 passenger) - recently added to the fleet in response to increased
demand
➢ 37 — High Mountain Taxi vehicles
• Headways: Currently the entire system is run as an on -demand service with no
specific headways. The areas serviced are to and from the downtown core including
points in between and to and from the Aspen/Pitkin County Airport.
Service Provided: Building upon the extensive fixed route mass transit component at
Aspen Highlands, the initial Dial -a -Ride service is operating as an on -demand system.
This system was established to respond to the varying requirements of guests, visitors and
residents. It has the capacity to grow with demand without typical delays due to vehicle
limitations. As evidenced by the recent purchase of the Tahoe, the vehicle fleet and mix
has been expanded to meet increasing demand.
The AHV Dial -a -Ride system is comprised of three overlapping services. All residents and
guests at AHV and Five Trees have basic service provided through High Mountain Taxi. This
service is supplemented for the Tourist Accommodation Units and the AHV Free -Market
Residential Units. The system can be described in the following manner:
• All Units in AHV and Five Trees — On -demand service available from 5:30 am until 2:00
am, 7 days a week to the Airport and downtown Aspen. This service is contracted
through High Mountain Taxi. High Mountain Taxi was selected because they are a
recognized provider of transit services by RFTA, they have handicap accessible vehicles
available for use upon request and they have the dispatch and fleet necessary to meet both
present and future needs of the Dial -A -Ride program.
• Tourist Accommodation Units — On -demand service available 24 hours a day, 7 days a
week to and from the Airport and downtown Aspen. This service is provided by two 14
passenger Turtle Top vans and three 7 passenger Suburbans.
• Free -Market Residential Units in AHV — On -demand service available from 6:00 am
until 10:30 pm, 7 days a week to and from the Airport and downtown Aspen. This
service is provided by two 7 passenger Suburbans and one 5 passenger Tahoe.
In summary, the AHV transportation system provides a flexible and convenient response to the
mobility needs of residents and guests. It exceeds the service requirements and the number of
vehicles outlined in Exhibit D of the SIA and better accommodates patrons' individual and
varied desires for moving to downtown Aspen and the airport.
•
III. AN ORGANIZATIONAL CHART INDICATING MANAGER AND
PERSONNEL TO PROVIDE SERVICES
The Aspen Highlands Metropolitan District is responsible for management and assuring the
service of the Dial -a -Ride program for AHV and Five Trees (see Figure 1). The manager of the
District is Beach Resource Management, LLC. High Mountain Taxi provides the Dial -a -Ride
for All Units at AHV and Five Trees through a contract with the Aspen Highlands Commercial
Metropolitan District, a quasi -municipal corporation and political subdivision of the State of
Colorado.
The Dial -a -Ride service for the Tourist Accommodation Units is provided by The Ritz Carlton as
a part of their overall management of the Association responsible for these units.
The Dial -a -Ride service for the Free -Market Residential Units at AHV is provided by Joshua &
Company as a part of their overall management of the Amenities Association responsible for
these units.
The District manages the providers of the services listed above; Joshua & Company, the Ritz
Carlton and High Mountain Taxi. In the event that the services change or are altered, it is the
responsibility of the District to assure that any gaps in service are filled immediately. The
District has specifically taken on this responsibility as a part of the Service Plan for the District.
Condition 13.1 Exhibit D Dial A Ride Reporting
Per Exhibit D of the AHV SIA, annual reporting for the Dial A Ride service is required.
The report shall include:
1. Statistics regarding ridership for the previous year;
2. Instances involving standees and missed trips, or trips requested but not provided; and
3. Statistics regarding accidents and roadside calls.
Staff Finding — Compliance
Because the new Dial A Ride service plan varies so dramatically from the original plan in the
SIA, ongoing monitoring and reporting is required. The monitoring and reporting will comply
with the requirements in the SIA. The reports will be submitted on a quarterly basis to the City
of Aspen Transportation Department. The reports will be due within 60 days of the end of the
quarter. The first report will be for the first quarter of 2004 and will be due May 31, 2004. The
due dates for the quarterly reports for each year are as follows:
Quarter 1

MEMORANDUM
TO: Robert E. Daniel, Jr.
FROM: David E. Hattan, P.E.
SUBJECT: Aspen Highlands Transportation Plan
PROJECT: Aspen Highlands Village
FHU # 03-144
We have prepared the following memorandum for the Aspen Highlands Transportation Plan based
on information provided by Hines Highlands Limited Partnership and Aspen Highlands Metropolitan
District. These data were compared with the analysis procedures developed for the Revised
Maroon Creek Corridor Detailed Transportation Plan, Felsburg Holt & Ullevig, February 1997.
INTRODUCTION
As part of the final approvals for the Aspen Highlands Village and Moore Planned Unit
Developments, numerous transportation studies and plans were developed. The final
transportation plan is summarized in the Revised Maroon Creek Corridor Detailed Transportation
Plan. The plan called for a transportation system to and from Aspen Highlands Village and Five
Trees that would have multiple components to meet the anticipated needs of the guests, visitors
and residents of the Village. The goal of the transportation system is to reduce automobile use
and to specifically reduce the number of vehicles going to downtown Aspen and the airport.
Since the start of construction of the Aspen Highlands Village Planned Unit Development (AHV), a
number of steps have been taken to implement a transportation system that truly provides
alternatives to the automobile for residents and guests. In accordance with Exhibit D of the
Subdivision Improvements Agreement for AHV, these steps have included funding the purchase of
a transit bus for the Roaring Fork Transit Authority (RFTA) for use on the Castle/Maroon route
which serves AHV. A shuttle service between AHV and Buttermilk is provided for skiers and
employees during the winter.. As detailed in later sections of this discussion, these services are
frequent and effective in serving fixed schedule demands.

Memorandum to Robert E. Daniel, Jr.
Page 2
In order to encourage use of the transit system that serves Aspen Highlands, the Aspen Skiing
Company, the Ritz Carlton Club, the Aspen Highlands Metropolitan District and the Aspen
Highlands Parking and Loading Dock Association (PLDA) all provide either free bus passes or
subsidized passes to their employees. The Ritz, the District and the PLDA provide fully subsidized
passes for their employees due to the lack of parking at Aspen Highlands at a combined cost of
approximately $74,000 annually. The Skiing Company provides a 75% subsidy for bus passes to
their employees and during ski season it is estimated that 75 of their employees purchase the
subsidized passes while another 60 employees ride the bus at their own cost. The subsidy
approximates $22,500 during the ski season.
Another part of the commitments made by AHV involves providing a Dial -a -Ride transit service.
The service is described as follows in Exhibit D:
Dial -A -Ride Plan
The Moore PUD (Five Tree) and Aspen Highlands Village will join together to operate a dial -a -ride
service to reduce the need for residents and guests to utilize automobiles. The operation will offer
a door-to-door delivery system and will service trips to areas near Aspen. Transportation service
will be provided to the City of Aspen core area and to the airport. The following sections propose a
preliminary operations and service plan and describe the vehicles to be used. Some operations
details will be finalized when the service has been established.
Operations Plan
The system will be operated in a flexible manner to maximize convenience for riders. Service
levels will be tailored to demand to provide convenient service. The section describes the initial
service plan which may be modified in the future to meet actual demands of residents and guests
as the properties are built out. Service will be initiated with two vans when the developments start
to be occupied in approximately the year 2000. The fleet of vehicles and service may be expanded
as the developments grow....
Vans will operate on a fixed schedule with pick-ups in the center of Aspen every one-half hour
during the winter and summer high seasons. On the other end of the route at AHV and the Moore
PUD, the vans will drop off and pick up passengers at their origin or destination. During the off-
peak seasons services will be reduced to match demand:
During the peak season(s), Route #1 will serve the Aspen Core. Dial -a -ride vans will provide
service on a fixed one-half hour schedule generally following the route depicted on Figure 2. Three
check points will be established in Aspen, potentially at Mill Street/Hyman Avenue, Cooper
Avenue/Spring Street and at Rubey Park. The vans will pass these checkpoints on each circuit
route so patrons are not required to call for service. Two vans will provide one-half hour headways
at the checkpoints.
The second destination, Route #2 is the Aspen-Pitkin County Airport. This will be on demand
service, similar to services provided by other resorts in the Aspen area. At the time guests make
reservations to stay at AHV, they will be advised that car rental is not necessary because of the
alternative transit services available. Departures to the airport will be scheduled ahead of time.
November 17, 2003
Memorandum to Robert E. Daniel, Jr.
Page 3
Service Plan
Prior to the initiation of service, AHV shall present a detailed service plan to the RFTA for review.
The plan shall include:
1. Estimate of demand,
2. Description of specific services including the number of vehicles, spares, hours of
operations and headways;
3. An organizational chart indicating manager and personnel to provide services; and
4. Service marketing plan.
AHV intends to offer dial -a -ride service seven days a week during the winter and summer peak
seasons. The Aspen core route will be offered from 7 AM to midnight. Rider surveys will be
utilized to determine night service should be run later in the evening.
Service to the airport will be provided when the airport is operating. The service will be available to
all guests and residents in AHV and the Moore PUD.
As noted in Exhibit D, the AHV transportation system should provide a flexible and convenient
response to the mobility demands that vary depending on the day of the week, season of the year,
and growth in demand. The many elements of the existing transportation system meet and in
some instances exceed the requirements of Exhibit D, thereby making it unnecessary for many
residents and guests to use private or rental automobiles. Trip logs, trip ticket data, and anecdotal
evidence bears out the fact that many people use the Dial -a -Ride system to get to and from the
airport and either RFTA scheduled buses or Dial -a -Ride to travel to and from downtown Aspen.
The purpose of this memo is to explain in detail how the current AHV transportation system meets
(and in some ways exceeds) the requirements of Exhibit D of the Subdivision Improvements
Agreement and to also provide a Service Plan for the Dial -a -Ride system that addresses the
specific requirements of Exhibit D. Once this Service Plan is formally adopted, there will be an
enhanced monitoring structure implemented to determine the effectiveness of the Dial -a -Ride
program along with the other transportation programs at Aspen Highlands.
ESTIMATE OF DEMAND
Demand for transportation services is created by the residents and guests of AHV. The following
table is a comparison of the ultimate mix of residential types at AHV and Five Trees and the current
status of occupancy of these units. Ultimate resident population at full occupancy is also provided.
(The ultimate development information has been taken from following documents which are the
basis for approval of these developments by Pitkin County: Aspen Highlands Village Detailed
Submission — Consolidated Plan, September 1997 and Moore Family PUD Detailed Submission —
Consolidated Plan, 1997)
P 1 9
November 17, 2003
Memorandum to Robert E. Daniel, Jr.
Page 4
The mix of units at AHV is:
Ultimate Currently Occupied
Free Market Single Family Homes 31 7
Free Market Townhomes 31 10
Tourist Accommodation Units 73 73
Affordable Housing Units 112 112
Total 247 202
(82% of ultimate)
The mix of units at Five Trees (previously known as the Moore Family PUD) is:
Ultimate Currently Occupied
Free Market Single Family Homes 40 11
Affordable Housing Units 31 31
Total 71 42
(59% of ultimate)
The projected population mix at AHV (assuming 100% occupancy) will be:
Ultimate Currently Occupied
Free Market Units 244 67
Affordable Housing Units 267 267
Tourist Accommodation Units 203 203
Total 714 537
Similarly, the ultimate projected population mix at Five Trees (assuming 100% occupancy) will be:
Ultimate Currently Occupied
Free Market Units 160 44
Affordable Housing Units 95 95
Total 255 139
Table B-3 of the Revised Maroon Creek Corridor Detailed Transportation Plan calculates that the
guests and residents of the Aspen Highlands Village should generate 347 person trips per day at
ultimate build -out. Likewise, Table B-6 shows that Five Trees should generate 113 person trips
per day. This is a total of 460 person trips per day for both developments combined.
Although limited statistics have been kept concerning ridership on the three components of the
AHV Dial -a -Ride system to date, existing ridership appears to be very close to meeting the goals
that were outlined in the Revised Maroon Creek Corridor Detailed Transportation Plan. Based on
the current occupancy of residences, the Dial -a -Ride system should average approximately 340
person -trips per day at 100 percent occupancy of all housing units. This estimate of the current
ridership goal has been calculated utilizing the same methodology and spreadsheets that was
used previously for the 1997 report. A copy of the updated spreadsheets is provided in Appendix
A. March is the peak month of the year for skiing -related activity and occupancy would be the
highest. Ridership calculations for March 2003 (see Appendix A) show that approximately 328
person trips per day were using the Dial -a -Ride system. The best available information
concerning current ridership statistics is also provided in Appendix A. This comparison shows that
the Dial -a -Ride system is very close to achieving anticipated capture rates. As discussed in a
following section, more detailed ridership information will be available in the future as a part of the
comprehensive monitoring program.

DESCRIPTION OF SPECIFIC SERVICES INCLUDING THE NUMBER OF VEHICLES,
SPARES, HOURS OF OPERATIONS AND HEADWAYS
In order to develop an appropriate Service Plan for Dial -a -Ride services, it is necessary to first
acknowledge the different use patterns and the available fixed route transportation alternatives that
currently exist for AHV and Five Trees residents and guests. Throughout the year, there is
extensive fixed route bus service that is primarily oriented to the downtown area of Aspen.
Additional services to other ski areas are provided to accommodate skier needs.
Fixed Route Services during the Ski Season
During the ski season, Aspen Highlands is the focus of a number of free, fixed route bus services
that are provided for both skiers and residents. Including the Skier Shuttle buses run by RFTA,
regular buses, and the new dedicated Aspen Highlands bus, there are nine buses per hour arriving
and departing Aspen Highlands between the hours of 8:00 am and 4:30 pm. All of these buses are
free to the rider. With an average capacity of 35 seats per bus, this equates to 315 seats per hour
arriving and departing Aspen Highlands during these times. On a daily basis, this equates to an
ability to carry more than 2,680 passengers during the peak period (8.5 hours) of the day. Specific
routes and service levels include the following:
• The dedicated Ruby Park/Highlands bus runs from 5:45 am until midnight on 30 minute
headways.
• RFTA skier shuttle buses run from 8:00 am until 4:30 pm on 15 minute headways.
• The Castle/Maroon bus runs from 6 am until 2:30 am on 20 minute headways.
• The Buttermilk Shuttle Provides transportation for employees and skiers on an on -demand
basis. It operates from 7 am until 4:30 pm on 15-20 minute headways, all seven days per
week throughout the ski season. Once ski season ends the bus schedule is reduced
appropriately.
• Total estimated capacity (not including the Buttermilk Shuttle) during ski season exceeds
4,585 passenger seats per day on the fixed mass transit system.
To put this fixed route transit service into perspective, during Ski Season there are 2,680 free bus
seats arriving and departing Aspen Highlands (just in the Sam to 4:30pm timeframe). This number
is almost a four -times multiple of the current maximum occupancy figure (676), and a 2.75 times
multiple of projected full occupancy (969).
P 2 1
November 17, 2003
Memorandum to Robert E. Daniel, Jr.
Page 6
Fixed Route Services during the Summer Season
Between the regular buses and the new dedicated Aspen Highlands bus, there are 5 buses per
hour arriving and departing Aspen Highlands between the hours of 9:00 am and 5:00 pm. All of
these buses are free to the rider. With an average capacity of 35 seats per bus, this equates to
175 seats per hour arriving and departing Aspen Highlands during these times.
• The dedicated Ruby Park/Highlands bus runs from 5:45 am until 10:00 pm on 30 minute
headways.
• The Castle/Maroon bus runs from 6:20 am until 2:00 am on 20 minute headways.
The Fixed route transit services are intended for visitors and skiers as well as residents. The Dial -
a -Ride system is a supplement to these larger fixed route services for the added convenience of
residents and guests.
Dial -a -Ride Services
Dial -a -Ride is a common term for demand -responsive transit service which can be provided in
many formats. The initial Dial -a -Ride service described in Exhibit D called service between many
pick-up locations in AHV and Five Trees and three checkpoints (stops) in downtown Aspen. As
also noted in Exhibit D, initial service was to be provided by two vans on a fixed route through
downtown every half hour. On -call taxi service is representative of more intensive Dial -a -Ride
service with its "many -to -many" characteristics and generally short response time (the wait
between the phone call requesting pick-up and vehicle arrival).
Recognizing that the fixed route system and schedule has an impact on any other alternative
modes of transportation, the current Dial -a -Ride service at AHV and Five Trees has been
specifically structured to fully complement the extensive fixed route capacity to and from Aspen
Highlands. In developing the existing Dial -a -Ride program, the three overlapping entities (as
explained in the following organizational section) involved in providing service determined that the
service described in Exhibit D represents a duplication and overlap of the extensive fixed route
service already being provided to and from downtown Aspen. The AHV Dial -a -Ride system has
been structured to provide convenient "many -to -many" service.
In order to comply with the spirit and intent of the SIA - Exhibit D, a comprehensive Dial -a -Ride
service program is currently in place and operating 365 days per year. Table 1 provides detailed
information about the three components that make up the program. The following outline provides
an overview of the current program:

• Headways: Currently the entire system is run as an on -demand service with no specific
headways. The areas serviced are to and from the downtown core including points in
between and to and from the Aspen/Pitkin County Airport.
• Service Provided: Building upon the extensive fixed route mass transit component at
Aspen Highlands, the initial Dial -a -Ride service is operating as an on -demand system. This
system was established to respond to the varying requirements of guests, visitors and
residents. It has the capacity to grow with demand without typical delays due to vehicle
limitations. As evidenced by the recent purchase of the Tahoe, the vehicle fleet and mix
has been expanded to meet increasing demand.
The AHV Dial -a -Ride system is comprised of three overlapping services. All residents and guests
at AHV and Five Trees have basic service provided through High Mountain Taxi. This service is
supplemented for the Tourist Accommodation Units and the AHV Free -Market Residential Units.
The system can be described in the following manner:
• All Units in AHV and Five Trees — On -demand service available from 5:30 am until 2:00
am, 7 days a week to the Airport and downtown Aspen. This service is contracted through
High Mountain Taxi. High Mountain Taxi was selected because they are a recognized
provider of transit services by RFTA, they have handicap accessible vehicles available for
use upon request and they have the dispatch and fleet necessary to meet both present and
future needs of the Dial -A -Ride program.
• Tourist Accommodation Units — On -demand service available 24 hours a day, 7 days a
week to and from the Airport and downtown Aspen. This service is provided by two 14
passenger Turtle Top vans and three 7 passenger Suburbans.
• Free -Market Residential Units in AHV — On -demand service available from 6:00 am until
10:30 pm, 7 days a week to and from the Airport and downtown Aspen. This service is
provided by two 7 passenger Suburbans and one 5 passenger Tahoe.
In summary, the AHV transportation system provides a flexible and convenient response to the
mobility needs of residents and guests. It exceeds the service requirements and the number of
vehicles outlined in Exhibit D of the SIA and better accommodates patrons' individual and varied
desires for moving to downtown Aspen and the airport. Costs to provide the total Dial -a -Ride
service are approximately $44,100 per month or almost $530,000 per year (see Appendix A). This
amount greatly exceeds the amount contemplated when Exhibit D was signed.

III. AN ORGANIZATIONAL CHART INDICATING MANAGER AND PERSONNEL TO
PROVIDE SERVICES
The Aspen Highlands Metropolitan District is responsible for management and assuring the service
of the Dial -a -Ride program for AHV and Five Trees (see Figure 1). The manager of the District is
Beach Resource Management, LLC. High Mountain Taxi provides the Dial -a -Ride for All Units at
AHV and Five Trees through a contract with the Aspen Highlands Commercial Metropolitan
District, a quasi -municipal corporation and political subdivision of the State of Colorado.
The Dial -a -Ride service for the Tourist Accommodation Units is provided by The Ritz Carlton as a
part of their overall management of the Association responsible for these units.
The Dial -a -Ride service for the Free -Market Residential Units at AHV is provided by Joshua &
Company as a part of their overall management of the Amenities Association responsible for these
units.
The District manages the providers of the services listed above; Joshua & Company, the Ritz
Carlton and High Mountain Taxi. In the event that the services change or are altered, it is the
responsibility of the District to assure that any gaps in service are filled immediately. The District
has specifically taken on this responsibility as a part of the Service Plan for the District.
IV. SERVICE MARKETING PLAN
Services are marketed to residents and guests using several methods. During the sale of all units
within Aspen Highlands Village, prospective owners are advised of the transit options available to
them. Following the sale of all units, residents and guests are advised through a community
website and quarterly newsletters of these services and their hours of operation; through periodic
meetings; and through updates mailed to residents. Appendix B shows typical examples of the
newsletter and website information concerning the available Dial -a -Ride services. In addition,
written materials are available at the community post office and at the Maroon Creek Station.
Samples of these printed materials available are shown in Figure 2.
The Ritz Carlton and Joshua & Company also advise their guests of the availability of these
services at the time reservations are made. Guests are also advised that there is no need to rent a
car during their holiday stay, as several alternatives are available to them (including shuttles, vans,
taxis and bus service). Guests, residents and day skiers appear to have embraced this message
as the use of these services is close to meeting forecasts.

In order to continue the past and current success of the transportation system, there needs to be
continuing efforts to provide more information to Aspen Highlands Village guests and residents.
This is an ongoing process of refining and enhancing the message about alternative transportation.
Upon approval of this Service Plan, the Aspen Highlands Metropolitan District will enter into a
marketing agreement with the City of Aspen Transportation Department to assist in the marketing
of the various transportation options available at Aspen Highlands Village. Recently the Metro
District has increased the level of information that is provided to residents and visitors which has
increased their awareness of current services. This awareness has been gained through
increased use of promotional materials, a change in the website format and description, notices
placed on residential doors within Aspen Highlands Village, and completed phone surveys on
transportation alternatives to determine use and utility of services offered. The District is
considering establishing a yearly budget for marketing that would allow continued printing of
brochures and door hangers as well as including reminders about the available Dial -a -Ride
services in each edition of the newsletters.
The District participates in the Transportation Options Program and attends bi-monthly TOP
meetings with businesses and others on transportation issues and provides fully subsidized bus
passes for staff of the District, the Master Association and the Parking and Loading Dock
Association.
MONITORING & REPORTING
Exhibit D of the SIA defines the following requirement for transportation system monitoring and
reporting:
'At the end of the first three years of operation (Dial -a -Ride) AHV shall submit an annual report to
RFTA at the end of the winter season. The report shall include:
1. Statistics regarding ridership for the previous year,-
2. Instances involving standees and missed trips, or trips requested but not provided; and
3. Statistics regarding accidents and roadside calls.
Based upon the review of the annual report, changes in the level of service may be made. "
While these general reporting requirements are required for the Dial -a -Ride system, there are
greater reporting requirements relative to transportation as a whole for Aspen Highlands Village.
The Aspen Skiing Company began preparing annual reports regarding the agreed to service plan
in the 1999/2000 ski season. These monitoring reports have also been prepared and submitted to
the City of Aspen for the last three years. The 2002/2003 report has been completed, and a copy
is attached to this memorandum.
In order to provide more complete information, the Aspen Highlands Metropolitan District has
formulated the following comprehensive monitoring plan that was put into effect in January 2003:
November 17, 2003
Memorandum to Robert E. Daniel, Jr.
Page 13
The District assumed responsibility for the monitoring of air quality, and collection of
information regarding ridership, traffic counts, et cetera in December 2002. With the
assumption of these monitoring requirements, it was discovered that the air quality
monitoring station could not be properly calibrated. Intermountain Laboratories was
retained immediately and the system was completely overhauled and rehabilitated. A spare
parts inventory was established, and the monitoring station has been running efficiently and
providing accurate information since January 2003.
• The District has also completed traffic counting during the 2003 ski season; traffic counts
included a breakdown between vehicle types (bus, shuttle, service vehicle, skier/visitor, and
resident), vehicles per hour, et cetera. The traffic survey is included in the annual report to
the City which will address air quality, transit and on -demand services. A copy of the
Monitoring Report for the 2002/2003 ski season is attached to this memorandum.
The District has purchased and is installing a traffic monitoring system that will operate on a
continuous basis during the 2003/2004 season. Additional equipment that will be
purchased includes five vehicle counters that will be installed on Prospector Road,
Thund.erbowl Lane, the entrance to Building 7 and the entrance to Building 5. The fifth
counter will be installed in different locations throughout the year to record traffic at other
portions of the village. Hose counters will only be installed on snowmelt roads during the
winter to prevent damage and loss of information. Several cameras have recently been
approved for installation to monitor traffic at the bus stop area on Boomerang. It is possible
that some of the discrepancies in reporting between various entities are due to riders to
Highlands not departing the bus at Highlands. It occurs to the District that many riders that
get on the bus at other locations may ride to Highlands to get to Aspen. For example, the
bus stops at Castle Creek, the roundabout, the Aspen School District, and the Aspen
Recreation Center before stopping at Aspen Highlands. It is clear that Highlands is not the
final destination for these riders. The data produced by this system will become part of the
annual report and will provide daily figures on traffic totals at Aspen Highlands Village. The
system is proposed to be set-up to differentiate between vehicle types and to allow for the
generation of additional data that will be useful to the Village and the Maroon Creek
Corridor transit program. More details about the proposed traffic monitoring system for the
2003/2004 season are provided in Appendix C.
The District has agreed to continue monitoring for an additional period of two years beyond
what was originally required due to gaps in information during the past two years (prior to
the District assuming responsibility for monitoring). During this period of time, the District
will monitor air quality at Aspen Highlands; traffic numbers and, if possible, traffic type;
Buttermilk shuttle ridership; mass transit ridership; -skier bus ridership; Maroon Bells
ridership; Dial -A -Ride use including all services provided to village residents; airport use
versus downtown core use; and skier parking counts.
P 2 9
November 17, 2003
Memorandum to Robert E. Daniel, Jr.
Page 14
The District will also cooperate with the Aspen Highlands Village Association and Aspen
Skiing Company to compare special event numbers to traffic generation numbers and
changes in air quality data, if any. All data will be evaluated and converted to useful
information for inclusion in the annual report. Beginning in 2004 this report will be issued
shortly after the close of the. ski season. The report will include information from summer
2003 activities and Maroon Bells transit information.
SUMMARY
Aspen Highlands Village provides a very comprehensive transportation system for residents,
guests, and skiers. AHV supports a number of fixed routes that are operated. by RFTA. In
addition, a Dial -a -Ride system is provided for residents and guests. This system is well supported
financially and is very close to meeting ridership goals. The system provides overlapping services
so some users have several options for their trips to downtown Aspen and the Airport. This
success is due to an ongoing information program that is refined and enhanced continuously to
maintain recognition of the alternative transportation options available to AHV residents and
guests. A procedure to improve Monitoring and Reporting of the status of the system has been
included in this memorandum.
We look forward to continuing to work closely with the City of Aspen and RFTA to provide
transportation alternatives at AHV.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Julie Ann Woods, Community Development
FROM: Cindy Christensen, Housing Office
DATE: May 6, 2004
RE: ASPEN HIGHLANDS VILLA GE EMPL 0 YEE A UDIT
ISSUE: When the Aspen Highlands Village PUD was approved, a condition of the approval was
that "An audit of full-time employees shall be conducted at the applicant's expense one year after
completion of Phase Four. The applicant shall be responsible for housing mitigation of any
employee generation over and above that contemplated at the time of Detailed Subdivision
approval. If the required audit shows a reduction in employee generation, the applicant may seek a
credit to be used on other Pitkin County projects."
BACKGROUND: Hines Highlands Limited Partnership (HHLP) contracted Haas Land Planning,
LLC to conduct the employee audit for the Aspen Highlands Village project. The use of Haas Land
Planning LLC was approved by the Housing Office as an impartial third parry to conduct the audit.
The audit concluded that the Ritz -Carlton Club maintains about 14.75 more FTE's than had been
accounted for by the approved generation factors. However, the audit showed that HHLP and the
Aspen Ski Company maintained approximately 23.45 and 6.18, respectively, fewer FTE's than
expected at the time of the approvals. The total FTE's of the PUD are to be considered; therefore,
the final conclusion of the audit holds that the Aspen Highland Village PUD generates about 14.89
fewer FTE's than were expected to be generated when the approvals were granted.
The calculations presented were correctly computed, but remain subject to limitations. Those
limitations are stated below:
1. The annual man-hour figures in the audit are based on data provided by the Ritz -Carlton
Club, Hines Highlands Limited Partnership and the Aspen Ski Company. Data was not
independently obtained from or documented in State records or any other source.
2. Where a space remains vacant or a tenant did not provide information, the audit used the
approved employee generation rates to result in neither a shortfall nor a surplus of FTE's
attributable to that space.
Mitch Haas stated that an audit can only be as good as the data on which it is based, and not all
tenants had been able to provide multi -year data. It was impossible for Mr. Haas to extrapolate
meaningful trends or even arrive at meaningful averages.
•
C7
RECOMMENDATION: The Housing Board reviewed the findings of the audit and concluded the
following:
1. Hines Highlands Limited Partnership has satisfied their mitigation requirement for the
development of Aspen Highlands Village.
2. The audit concluded that there is a credit of 14.89 FTE's.
3. Condition 16 of BOCC Resolution No. 97-167 allow the Hines Highlands Limited
Partnership to seek a credit to be used on other Pitkin County projects.
4. At such time that Hines Highlands Limited Partnership would want to utilize any of the
14.89 FTE credits, approval would need to be received from the appropriate elected body
and the amount utilized to be noted in a recorded document until such time as all of the
credits are utilized.

Aspen Highlands Village
Final Construction _Management Plan
Revised October 5, 1998
Overview
This Construction Mana¢ement Plan has been revised to retlect the comments and feedback
rcceivcd from the County Engineer, Bud Eylar, at the annual pre -construction meeting held on
April 23, 1998. .As agreed to at the meeting, this plan is intended to serve as:
• A vehicle of cooperative understandings between the Developer and the County, to
be modified and amended (with mutual agreement from both parties) as required
• A source of ongoiong communication with the County's Public Works/Road &
Bridge Department in an effort to keep the County informed of construction
activities, work progress, and to keep an open dialogue regarding construction issues
that effect -die community
• An amended and approved plan for the 1998 construction schedule.
The County and the Developer reserve the right to make reasonable changes (with mutual
agreement form both parties) to the plan as needed.
In preparing the procedures and measures to be incorporated in the construction process for the
Aspen Highlands Base Village, it is important to understand both the goals of such programs and
the practical realities of the construction process. Our intent is to minimize impacts associated
with the construction of the .Aspen Highlands Base Village improvements while allowing work to
proceed in such a manner as to avoid prolonging the construction period.
Travel Demand Measures (TDM) are most often thought of when discussing the progress of an
existing development or how to deal with potential impacts from a future development. The
concept of utilizing TDM as a part of the construction and development process is a unique idea.
Typically, TDM will principally deal with mass transit incentives and auto disincentives.
However, other ideas have been investigated relative to TDM and the construction process.
Outlined below are several measures the project proposes to implement as a part of the
construction process.
Travel Demand and Traffic Control Measures
The following Traffic Control Plan has been presented and approved by the County Engineer. It
will be self -performed by Gould Construction with their certified staff.
During the construction of the Aspen Highlands Base Village the following TDM and Traffic
Control program will be in effect:
• Delivery of construction raw materials will be prohibited during the peak traffic periods.
This will limit such delivery access to Aspen Highlands Base Village from 8:00am to 8:30am
and from 2:50pm to 3:30pm. The exception to this will be scheduled concrete pours that are
time -sensitive due to the quantity of concrete being placed or poured at one time.
• A public notification process through the local papers will be established. Pitkin County has
authorized a courtesy sign at the Maroon Creek/Hwy 82 intersection.
• Speed limits for tandem axle and larger vehicles will be posted at 20 mph at all times.
• General Contractor acknowledges that County Road 19, McClain Flats Road, is posted for a
20-Ton Weight Limit. The General Contractor shall notify all contractors/sub-contractors

involved in this project with this information. The County shall strictly enforce the Weight
Limit3 on thio road.
• Sub -Contractors will be issued a limited number of parking permits for their workers.
• General contractors will be required to provide a parking plan with their individual
construction contracts. The General Contractor will contact local bike shops with notification
relative to Maroon Creek Road. The General Contractor will have to enforce public safety
issues relative to truck taffrc and interface with pedestrians & cyclists.
• Contractors will be required to provide van-pooiing or car pooling programs as a part of their
construction contract Reduction in payment provisions shall be incorporated into the
contracts as a means of ensuring compliance.
• To the greatest extent possible raw materials will be stockpiied on site to try to consolidate
deliveries of materials in larger quantities (for example gravel).
• A site traffic/delivery coordinator shall be designated and responsible for monitoring delivery
and contractor compliance with the TDM program.
• The covenants and design guidelines for the individual neighborhoods will have provisions
regarding contractor parking on the streets.
• 'There will be no parking allowed on Maroon Creek Road or in the adjoining neighborhoods.
• The Developer and the County may make reasonable changes in the hours restricting hauling
activities, based upon changes in traffic loading on Maroon Creek Road and on seasonal
activities in the area. The County reserves the right to stop all hauling or constrction
activities on Maroon Creek Road for special events or activities (scheduled bike and/or road
races, etc.). The County will give the Developer reasonable notice of the imposition of
restrictions.
• The Developer acknowledges that hauling activities to and from the jobsite are restricted to
the 12 hour period between 7:00 am and 7:00 pm, Monday through Saturday.
• The Contractor will make reasonable efforts to stage trucking activities on site to minimize
empty loads to/from the jobsite.
• Prior to each construction season there will be a meeting with RFTA, the Pitkin County
Sheriffs Office, the School Superintendent, the Pitkin County Director of Public Works and
the Developer to review the construction season work program and address any concerns
raised during the previous construction season.
In addition to the above measures, Aspen Highlands Base Village will plan and implement the
following programs:
Fugitive Dust Control Plan
• Dust control will be implemented from start to finish of each construction season until the
project is complete.
• Contractors will be required to assume all responsibility for dust control and shall carry out
proper and efficient measures wherever and whenever dust control is necessary, thereby
minimizing dust damage and nuisance to persons and property.
• Contractors will also be required to control dust at the work site by the use of an adequate
number of water trucks or an effective palliative using such dust -laying equipment and
methods as may be required.
• To the greatest extent possible raw material deliveries to and from the site will be water
sprayed or covered with tarpaulins as necessary to additionally minimize dust and dirt from
construction operations.

During the peak season(s), Route i 1 will serve the Aspen Core.
Dial -a -ride vans will provide service on a fixed one-half hour
schedule generally following the route depicted on Figure 2. Three
check points will be established in Aspen, potentially at dill
Street/Hyman Avenue, Cooper Avenue/Spring Street and at Rubey Park.
The vans will pass these checkpoints on each cir=sit route so
patrons are not required to call for service. Two vans will
provide one-half hour headways at the checkpoints.
The second destination, Route Z is the Aspen-Pitkin County
Airport. This will be on demand service, similar to services
provided by other resorts in the Aspen area. At the time guests
make reservations to stay at AHV, they will be advised that car
rental is not necessary because of the alternative transit services
available. Departures to the airport will be scheduled ahead of
time.
Service Plan
Prior to initiation of service, AHV shall present a detailed
service plan to the RFTA for review. The plan shall include:
1. Estimate of demand;
2. Description of specific services including the number of
vehicles, spares, hours of operations and headways;
3. An organizational chart indicating manager and personnel
to provide services; and
4. Service marketing plan.
AHV intends to offer dial -a -ride service seven days a week during
the winter and summer peak seasons. The Aspen core route will be
offered from 7 AM to midnight. Rider surveys will be utilized to
determine night service should run later in the evening.
Service to the airport will be provided when the airport is
operating. The service will be available to all guests and
residents in AHV and the Moore PUD.
At the end of each of the first three years of operation AHV shall
submit an annual report to RFTA at the end of the winter season.
The report shall include:
1. Statistics regarding ridership for the previous year;
2. Instances involving standees and missed trips, or trips
requested but not provided; and
3, Statistics regarding accidents and roadside calls.
Based upon the review of the annual report, changes in the levels
service may be made.

Vehicles
The service will operate vans capable of carrying as many as 12
passengers at one time with space for luggage and skis. Passengers
will be able to stand in the vehicles.
Eventually, three or four vans may be utilized when both
developments are fully occupied. Initially, the fleet will consist
of t-do vans and will be expanded as demand warrants. The vans will
be stored in the AHV parking area and will be maintained by local
mechanics in the Roaring Fork Valley. If necessary, another vans)
will be rented if a van is out of service f or repairs, and high
traffic is anticipated.
At least one of the vans in the fleet will be equipped with a wheel
chair lift for the handicapped.
Cost
The cost for providing this service has been projected based on
vehicle utilization and industry hourly costs to operate vehicles.
During the winter peak season, it is projected that passenger
productivity will vary between eight and 12 passengers per vehicle
per hour. Van costs are assumed to be $ 30. per van hour based on
the service being run. The cost to provide service is estimated to
be $ 295,000 per year.

Re: Willie Residences
Aspen Highlands Village
Hines Dear Sarah:
This letter is written to provide an update on my meeting with Erica Delak,
President of the Wille Residences Homeowners Association last week. The
purpose of the meeting was to walk the property and to review the outstanding
construction warranty matters. Additionally, I wanted to provide you with a
response to some of the matters that were raised in the Public Hearing at the
Council Meeting on May 25, 2004.
June 3, 2004 Site Meeting:
I met onsite with Erica Delak to walk the property and review specific
construction warranty matters. Also in attendance at the meeting were Chief
Building Official Stephen Kanipe, Building Inspector Erik Peltonen and
homeowner Tim Reed.
In review of the building systems it appears as though there are two major areas
that need to be addressed, generally characterized as the site work and roof.
Additionally there are some other items that need to be investigated.
Site Work
1. During the installation of the landscaping and irrigation system it
appears as that sprinkler heads were placed too close to the building.
This condition can cause water to be unnecessarily introduced into the
foundation system as well as cause splash against the structure.
2. There are eight concrete pads for wooden posts that may need to be
repaired, replaced or modified in place.

Roof System
1. In some of the upper units there appears to be some leakage that
evidences itself in headers above the windows in the dormer sections of
the roof. In the roof above these units there are snow guards that are
surface mounted to the roof.
2. There are several of areas on the north face of the roof where snow and
ice build up. These areas should be reviewed relative to the addition of
heat tape.
General Items
1. Since the completion of construction there have been some leaks in the
interior of the units. Some of these were due to plumbing fixture leaks
and have been corrected by the contractor as a part of the warranty. A
couple of these leaks have been sporadic and the source has not been
able to be determined. Further investigation will be required to try to
determine the source.
2. There are some miscellaneous punch list items and warranty work on
which the contractor has not followed through.
3. The Association has procured bids for the installation of a fence in the
front of their residences. They are going to provide me with a copy of
that bid for my information and review.
At the conclusion of the meeting it was agreed that Erica Delak is going to
provide me with a written summary of the correspondence with the contractor
on the warranty matters. Due to the fact that this project is currently out of the
warranty period, it will be very important to review the documentation of the
warranty requests by the Association. At this point in time Erica is still pulling
together that information. When it is provided, I will review the information
and sit down with the contractor and the Association to try to come up with a
work program to address the valid warranty items.
May 25, 2004 Council Meeting:
In the Council Meeting there were some items raised during the Public
Comment segment. Below is an update on those items:
The heating system has been repaired under the contractor warranty.
This repair was done prior to this past winter and it appears that the
system is functioning properly. As a part of the contract closeout with
Sarah Oates
June 8, 2004
Page 3 of 3
the contractor an extended warranty was obtained for the Association.
This warranty is for 5 years and expires on November 30, 2006.
2. The heating system for Building 3 (Wille Residences) is served off of a
joint boiler in conjunction with Building 5 (Maroon Creek Station).
This system was a part of the original design and construction and
provides efficiency for both buildings. There have been some challenges
in metering the heat usage for the Wille Residences due to complexities
association with the BTU meters for the project. The contractor and
mechanical subcontractor have been working on this system and believe
that the BTU meters are functioning properly in order to accurately
measure the usage for the Wille Residences. There is a Central Plant
agreement between the Associations for Maroon Creek Station and the
Wille Residences that outlines the sharing of the boiler operational and
capital expenses. In short it is based upon usage. During the period that
the BTU meters were not properly functioning, the expenses are shared
in accordance with the Central Plant Agreement on a prorata basis
determined by building square footage.
3. There is some spawling of concrete on the steps and sidewalks that
needs to be reviewed and addressed with the contractor.
4. My inspection did not reveal any outside wall warping due to poor
design. There has been some movement (to be expected) in the wood
veneer on a short stub wall at the front of the building. This does not
appear to be structural in nature and can be easily repaired.
5. I discussed signage with homeowner Tim Reed relative to the traffic in
front of these residences.
I believe that this information provides you with an update of the matters that
are associated with the Wille Residences at Aspen Highlands Village. Please
feel free to contact me with any further questions or comments.
Sincerely,

Date: June 14, 2004
Re: Wiley Homeowners — Highlands Affordable Housing
Thursday June 3 a site visit was arranged with Erika DeLong, Tim Reed, Bob Daniels,
Erik Peltonen and myself to investigate three specific building conditions that may
compromise the safety and welfare of the building owners.
The first, "our sidewalks and outdoor stairways are falling apart with huge chunks of
concrete falling off' and second, "stairways have steps that are short, tall or too narrow
creating dangerous walking conditions" are both illustrated by this picture:
The top riser does not comply with required stair geometry that the difference in risers
from the greatest to the least shall not exceed 3/8 inch. However, this stair was not
reviewed for a permit nor inspected for compliance. The concrete spalling certainly exists
and is an example of poor work quality.
0
The third issue, "structural beams and columns are crumbling with concrete falling off".
This picture is of the entry porch column bases.
s
This base is typical of the column pads at the entrances to the units. A structural engineer
should evaluate the necessity of repairs.

Dear Mayor Klanderud,
Today you are going to decide whether or not the Hines Corporation has
fulfilled its obligations in the development of the Aspen Highlands
Project. If you decide that they have, they will receive the bond that
has been held to ensure such completion. If you do not, they will not
receive their bond and we, affordable housing homeowners, will have
some hope of obtaining those things we have been looking for that the
developer has refused to do. Those things include
1) a roof that does not fail with wet conditions - 7 units had a
leaking roof this winter
2) a heating system that works in the winter - we were without heat for
nine months and the flawed system was only repaired not retrofitted, or
replace
3) we have no way of accurately measuring the heat we have used; as we
share our boiler with building five (Maroon Creek Station) it is
cial that we have an accurate measure
4) ur sidewalks and outdoor stairways are falling apart with huge
unks of concrete falling off
5) he stairways have steps that are short, tall, or too narrow
eating dangerous walking conditions
tructural beams and columns are crumbling with concrete falling off
water damage due to poor design has caused an outside wall to warp
and pull away from the building.
8) safety features to help protect our children from traffic volume
that exceeds 7 buses an hour including signs and a fence in front of
our building (I attended a city council meeting to discuss this with my /
daughter back in the winter).
The Hines representative will most likely announce that every goal they
set for their project has been met or is so close to completion that
they should receive their bond. All we ask is that your preserve the
only chance we as homeowners have of attaining housing that is safe,
durable and of the same quality that you can find at the base of Shadow
Mountain, Pitkin Iron, Snyder Park. We have fought many a battle that
we should not have had to, most notably to get our heat for the winter.
We know that the Hines Corporation will only do the right thing for us
if they have incentive, ie. money. Please do not allow them to get off
the hook. \
I would prefer to be in your presence expressing my concerns, but I
have commitments that I am not able to re -schedule. Thank you for
taking your time to read this. Please feel free to contact me with any
questions or concerns.

RE: Finding of Substantial Compliance — Aspen Highlands Village and Moore Family
PUD Transportation Plan
SUMMARY:
Attached for your review and approval is a memo outlining the revised terms of the
Transportation Plan contained in the Subdivision Improvement Agreements (SIA) for the Aspen
Highlands Village PUD (AHV), the Moore Family PUD and other associated approval
documents. This memo details the transportation requirements and staff finding as to

requirements are in "substantial compliance" with the terms and conditions in the original
agreement. City Staff is asking the Mayor and City Council to make a "Finding of Substantial
Compliance" in regard to the transportation requirements and revised terms.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
Staff has previously provided the Council with updates on the progress on the various
transportation requirements of these two developments. Council has previously met with
representatives of Hines Highlands Limited Partnership (Hines) and the Aspen Highlands
Commercial Metropolitan District (Metro District) to discuss the various transportation
requirements of both developments. The majority of these requirements have been complied
with.
BACKGROUND:
City Staff has been meeting and corresponding on a regular basis with representatives of Hines
and the Metro District for the past two years to resolve the numerous and complicated
transportation requirements in the many approval documents for the Aspen Highlands Village
(AHV) and Moore Family PUD. The majority of these transportation requirements have been
successfully resolved. The main requirement taking the most time to resolve and reach
agreement on was the Dial A Ride service. The Dial A Ride service requirement is detailed in a
three -page operations plan in Exhibit D of the SIA for the AHV. City Staff, Hines and the Metro
Districts have now agreed upon a Dial A Ride service plan that is now in place that fulfills the
requirement in the SIA. As the transportation requirements are numerous and contained in
various documents, a summary is attached for your review.
DISCUSSION:
The Aspen Highlands Village and Moore Family Developments both have extensive
transportation mitigation requirements associated with their approvals. These requirements were
part of the original County approvals in 1998 and were inherited by the City upon annexation.
City staff has been working with Hines and the Metro Districts to achieve compliance. The
majority of the transportation requirements have been fulfilled. Until recently, staff, Hines and
the Metro District have been unable to come to agreement on the requirement for Dial A Ride
service to the developments. The SIAs contain a specific and detailed plan for the Dial A Ride
Service that was unacceptable to Hines and the Metro District. After lengthy negotiation Hines
and the Metro District have proposed and implemented a flexible demand responsive Dial A
Ride service plan that is very different from the original Dial A Ride Plan. A copy of the revised
detailed Transportation plan is attached as Exhibit 4. City Staff feels that while the proposed
plan is different, it can meet the objectives of the original plan with some additional and revised
conditions included in it. These conditions are listed in the Finding of Substantial Compliance
under the Staff Findings. These additional/revised requirements relate to the Traffic, Transit and
Parking Plan, the Dial A Ride Reporting, and the marketing and promotional efforts.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
There are no financial implications for the City. The transportation requirements and their
associated costs have been and will be borne by Hines and the Metro District.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Aspen City Council make a "Finding of Substantial Compliance" with
regard to the transportation requirements contained in the Subdivision Improvement Agreements
for the Aspen Highlands Village PUD, the Moore Family PUD and other associated approval
documents. The Finding of Substantial Compliance would be conditioned on the revised and
additional requirements contained in this memo.
ALTERNATIVES:
City Council could decide against making a `Finding of Substantial Compliance" and require
that Hines and the Metro District comply with the original transportation requirements as stated
in the Subdivision Improvement Agreements for the Aspen Highlands Village PUD, the Moore
Family PUD and other associated approval documents. .
PROPOSED MOTION:
I move to approve a Finding of Substantial Compliance for the revised Transportation Plan as
specified in the attached memo for the Aspen Highlands Village and Moore Family PUDs.

requirement for the oii)ner to make a payment to RFTA f67• the purchase and operation of one (1)
additional bus on the 7•07,7te. (See Exhibits `A " and "D')
Staff Finding - Compliance
The Owner (HINES HIGHLANDS LIMITED PARTNERSHIP) has fulfilled this condition of
approval. The owner has made payment in full to the City of Aspen for the purchase of one (1)
additional bus to be used on the Direct Maroon Creek Road route. Payment for the bus was
made to the City on September 15, 2002.
The new bus began operating on the Direct Maroon Creek Road route beginning in December
2002. This is a change to the original requirement in Exhibit D of the SIA for AHV. Exhibit D
specified that the additional bus should operate on the Castle/Maroon route. The developer,
Metro Districts and City staff agreed to change the route to operate directly from Rubey Park to
the Aspen Highlands Village. The bus operates on 30-minute headways from Rubey Park. The
service provides five trips per hour on the route. The winter hours of operation currently are
0530 am until 12:00 midnight seven days a week during the ski season.
The Direct Maroon Creek Road service during the winter season is an ongoing annual obligation
for the Metro Districts. The Aspen Highlands Metro District (AIEVID) will continue to
compensate the City of Aspen for bus service operated by RFTA on the Direct Maroon Creek
Road route during the winter season lasting approximately 130 days. The service began on
November 28, 2002 and will operate every year. Payment for the service will be made to the
City of Aspen on a monthly basis. An annual Service Agreement between the City of Aspen and
the AH1vID for winter service was entered into by both parties and approved by Aspen City
Council on October 22, 2002. The contract is automatically renewed every year.
Condition 10. Traffic and Transit Parking Plan -page 4
The owner shall implement a traffic/transit/parking monitoring system plan, which shall include
measures to ensure increased nzifigati077 actions if monitoring shows that the mitigation is not
adequate. The oi4�ner shall administer the monitoring plan through the conclusion of Phase 4 of
the c07?st7'uction, and fo7• three (3) years thereafter. Annual 7•epo71s shall be submitted to the
Community Development Department for the County and RFTA revieia)..If t7-affic iMpacts exceed
traffic projections, additional; mitigation in the form of transit mitigation may be required. The
monitoring system shall address the following issues:
(a) If the trips generated by AHV exceed the projections contained in the `Revised Maroon
Creek Corridor Detailed Transportation Plan ", dated February 1997, so as to require
777itigation for those additional impacts, the additional 777itigation required by the Oivner
roust be approved by the BOCC based upon the rec0777mendations of the Pitkin County
Community Development Department and any appropriate referral agency (e.g. RFTA
and /or Pitkin County engineering Department.
(b) If the trips generated are lower than the projections contained in the `Revised Maroon
Creek Corridor- Detailed Transportation Plan" dated February, 12997, the Owner shall
be entitled to suggest a reduction in the traffic 777itigation programs then being funded.
Such reduction shall be based upon a finding by the BOCC that the reduction is
appropriate: provided however that the Owner shall not be entitled to a refrnd for any
Portion of its infrastructure donation described in Paragraph 17 below.
Staff Finding - Compliance
Hines and the Metro Districts have agreed to provide the traffic/transit/parking monitoring
system plan as prescribed in the SIA for Aspen Highlands Village through June 2008. Staff finds
this acceptable with the caveat that the reports be submitted no later than 60 days after the ski
season as required in the 1997 Aspen Highlands Ski Area Master Plan and that the reports meet
or exceed the data collected and reported in previous reports as required in approval documents.
Hines and the Metro Districts also understand, that no significant changes to the transportation
plan can be made until a monitoring and reporting system is reinstated and adequate data is
collected over an adequate period of time so that staff can make informed decisions about the
adequacy of the service any proposed changes can properly be evaluated.

Staff Finding — Substantial Compliance
The Dial A Ride service is an integral part of the approved and agreed to transportation plan
contained in the SIA and various other approval documents for Aspen Highlands Village. The
Dial A Ride service is considered an on -going service to be provided in perpetuity to serve the
residents of the developments.
The developer has proposed and is operating a Dial A Ride that is significantly different from the
detailed and comprehensive plan contained in Exhibit D as a condition of approval and as agreed
to in the SIA. While different, staff feels that it meets or exceeds the requirements in Exhibit D
of the SIA
A copy of the Aspen Highlands Transportation Plan by Felsburg Holt & Ullevig dated November

of the SIA. The currently operated Dial A Ride plan establishes the "base level of service," for
Dial A Ride. This base level of service has and will continue to be sustained and funded by the
Districts into the future.

Summary of Current Services
• Hours of Operation: Between 20.5 and 24 hours per day, 365 days a year.
Number of Vehicles:
2 — Turtle Top Vans (14 passengers each)
5 — Suburbans (7 passengers each)
I — Tahoe (5 passenger) - recently added to the fleet in response to increased
demand
37 —High Mountain Taxi vehicles
• Headways: Currently the entire system is run as an on -demand service with no
specific headways. The areas serviced are to and from the downtown core including
points in between and to and from the Aspen/Pitkin County Airport.
Service Provided: Building upon the extensive fixed route mass transit component at
Aspen Highlands, the initial Dial -a -Ride service is operating as an on -demand system.
This system was established to respond to the varying requirements of guests, visitors and
residents. It has the capacity to grow with demand without typical delays due to vehicle
limitations. As evidenced by the recent purchase of the Tahoe, the vehicle fleet and mix
has been expanded to meet increasing demand.
The AHV Dial -a -Ride system is comprised of three overlapping services. All residents and
guests at AHV and Five Trees have basic service provided through High Mountain Taxi. This
service is supplemented for the Tourist Accommodation Units and the AHV Free -Market
Residential Units. The system can be described in the following manner:
All Units in AHV and Five Trees — On -demand service available from 5:30 am until 2:00
am, 7 days a week to the Airport and downtown Aspen. This service is contracted
through High Mountain Taxi. High Mountain Taxi was selected because they are a
recognized provider of transit services by RFTA, they have handicap accessible vehicles
available for use upon request and they have the dispatch and fleet necessary to meet both
present and future needs of the Dial -A -Ride program.
Tourist Accommodation Units — On -demand service available 24 hours a day, 7 days a
week to and from the Airport and downtown Aspen. This service is provided by two 14
passenger Turtle Top vans and three 7 passenger Suburbans.
• Free -Market Residential Units in AHV — On -demand service available from 6:00 am
until 10:30 pm, 7 days a week to and from the Airport and downtown Aspen. This
service is provided by two 7 passenger Suburbans and one 5 passenger Tahoe.
In summary, the AHV transportation system provides a flexible and convenient response to the
mobility needs of residents and guests. It exceeds the service requirements and the number of
vehicles outlined in Exhibit D of the SIA and better accommodates patrons' individual and
varied desires for moving to downtown Aspen and the airport.
III. AN ORGANIZATIONAL CHART INDICATING INZANAGER AND
PERSONNEL TO PROVIDE SERVICES
The Aspen Highlands Metropolitan District is responsible for management and assuring the
service of the Dial -a -Ride program for AHV and Five Trees (see Figure 1). The manager of the
District is Beach Resource Management, LLC. High Mountain Taxi provides the Dial -a -Ride
for All Units at AHV and Five Trees through a contract with the Aspen Highlands Commercial
Metropolitan District, a quasi -municipal corporation and political subdivision of the State of
Colorado.
The Dial -a -Ride service for the Tourist Accommodation Units is provided by The Ritz Carlton as
a part of their overall management of the Association responsible for these units.
The Dial -a -Ride service for the Free -Market Residential Units at AHV is provided by Joshua &
Company as a part of their overall management of the Amenities Association responsible for
these units.
The District manages the providers of the services listed above; Joshua & Company, the Ritz
Carlton and High Mountain Taxi. In the event that the services change or are altered, it is the
responsibility of the District to assure that any gaps in service are filled immediately. The
District has specifically taken on this responsibility as a part of the Service Plan for the District.
Condition 13.1 Exhibit D Dial A Ride Reporting
Per Exhibit D of the AHV SIA, annual reporting for the Dial A Ride service is required.
The report shall include.-
1. Statistics regarding ridership for the previous year;
2. Instances involving standees and missed trips, or trips requested but not provided; and
3. Statistics regarding accidents and roadside calls.
Staff Finding — Compliance
Because the new Dial A Ride service plan varies so dramatically from the original plan in the
SIA, ongoing monitoring and reporting is required. The monitoring and reporting will comply
with the requirements in the SIA. The reports will be submitted on a quarterly basis to the City
of Aspen Transportation Department. The reports will be due within 60 days of the end of the
quarter. The first report will be for the first quarter of 2004 and will be due May 31, 2004. The

MEMORANDUM
TO: Robert E. Daniel, Jr.
FROM: David E. Hattan, P.E.
SUBJECT: Aspen Highlands Transportation Plan
PROJECT: Aspen Highlands Village
FHU # 03-144
We have prepared the following memorandum for the Aspen Highlands Transportation Plan based
on information provided by Hines Highlands Limited Partnership and Aspen Highlands Metropolitan
District. These data were compared with the analysis procedures developed for the Revised
Maroon Creek Corridor Detailed Transportation Plan, Felsburg Holt & Ullevig, February 1997,
INTRODUCTION
As part of the final approvals for the Aspen Highlands Village and Moore Planned Unit
Developments, numerous transportation studies and plans were developed. The final
transportation plan is summarized in the Revised Maroon Creek Corridor Detailed Transportation
Plan. The plan called for a transportation system to and from Aspen Highlands Village and Five
Trees that would have multiple components to meet the anticipated needs of the guests, visitors
and residents of the Village. The goal of the transportation system is to reduce automobile use
and to specifically reduce the number of vehicles going to downtown Aspen and the airport.
Since the start of construction of the Aspen Highlands Village Planned Unit Development (AHV), a
number of steps have been taken to implement a transportation system that truly provides
alternatives to the automobile for residents and guests. In accordance with Exhibit D of the
Subdivision Improvements Agreement for AHV, these steps have included funding the purchase of
a transit bus for the Roaring Fork Transit Authority (RFTA) for use on the Castle/Maroon route
which serves AHV. A shuttle service between AHV and Buttermilk is provided for skiers and
employees during the winter. As detailed in later sections of this discussion, these services are
frequent and effective in serving fixed schedule demands.

Memorandum to Robert E. Daniel, Jr.
Page 2
In order to encourage use of the transit system that serves Aspen Highlands, the Aspen Skiing
Company, the Ritz Carlton Club, the Aspen Highlands Metropolitan District and the Aspen
Highlands Parking and Loading Dock Association (PLDA) all provide either free bus passes or
subsidized passes to their employees. The Ritz, the District and the PLDA provide fully subsidized
passes for their employees due to the lack of parking at Aspen Highlands at a combined cost of
approximately $74,000 annually. The Skiing Company provides a 75% subsidy for bus passes to
their employees and during ski season it is estimated that 75 of their employees purchase the
subsidized passes while another 60 employees ride the bus at their own cost. The subsidy
approximates $22,500 during the ski season.
Another part of the commitments made by AHV involves providing a Dial -a -Ride transit service.
The service is described as follows in Exhibit D:
Dial -A -Ride Plan
The Moore PUD (Five Tree) and Aspen Highlands Village will join together to operate a dial -a -ride
service to reduce the need for residents and guests to utilize automobiles. The operation will offer
a door-to-door delivery system and will service trips to areas near Aspen. Transportation service
will be provided to the City of Aspen core area and to the airport. The following sections propose a
preliminary operations and service plan and describe the vehicles to be used. Some operations
details will be finalized when the service has been established.
Operations Plan
The system will be operated in a flexible manner to maximize convenience for riders. Service
levels will be tailored to demand to provide convenient service. The section describes the initial
service plan which may be modified in the future to meet actual demands of residents and guests
as the properties are built out. Service will be initiated with two vans when the developments start
to be occupied in approximately the year 2000. The fleet of vehicles and service may be expanded
as the developments grow....
Vans will operate on a fixed schedule with pick-ups in the center of Aspen every one-half hour
during the winter and summer high seasons. On the other end of the route at AHV and the Moore
PUD, the vans will drop off and pick up passengers at their origin or destination. During the off-
peak seasons services will be reduced to match demand,
During the peak season(s), Route #1 will serve the Aspen Core. Dial -a -ride vans will provide
service on a fixed one-half hour schedule generally following the route depicted on Figure 2. Three
check points will be established in Aspen, potentially at Mill Street/Hyman Avenue, Cooper
Avenue/Spring Street and at Rubey Park. The vans will pass these checkpoints on each circuit
route so patrons are not required to call for service. Two vans will provide one-half hour headways
at the checkpoints.
The second destination, Route #2 is the Aspen-Pitkin County Airport. This will be on demand
service, similar to services provided by other resorts in the Aspen area. At the time guests make
reservations to stay at AHV, they will be advised that car rental is not necessary because of the
alternative transit services available. Departures to the airport will be scheduled ahead of time.
November 17, 2003
Memorandum to Robert E. Daniel, Jr.
Page 3
Service Plan
Prior to the initiation of service, AHV shall present a detailed service plan to the RFTA for review.
The plan shall include:
1. Estimate of demand;
2. Description of specific services including the number of vehicles, spares, hours of
operations and headways;
3. An organizational chart indicating manager and personnel to provide services; and
4. Service marketing plan.
AHV intends to offer dial -a -ride service seven days a week during the winter and summer peak
seasons. The Aspen core route will be offered from 7 AM to midnight. Rider surveys will be
utilized to determine night service should be run later in the evening.
Service to the airport will be provided when the airport is operating. The service will be available to
all guests and residents in AHV and the Moore PUD.
As noted in Exhibit D, the AHV transportation system should provide a flexible and convenient
response to the mobility demands that vary depending on the day of the week, season of the year,
and growth in demand. The many elements of the existing transportation system meet and in
some instances exceed the requirements of Exhibit D, thereby making it unnecessary for many
residents and guests to use private or rental automobiles. Trip logs, trip ticket data, and anecdotal
evidence bears out the fact that many people use the Dial -a -Ride system to get to and from the
airport and either RFTA scheduled buses or Dial -a -Ride to travel to and from downtown Aspen.
The purpose of this memo is to explain in detail how the current AHV transportation system meets
(and in some ways exceeds) the requirements of Exhibit D of the Subdivision Improvements
Agreement and to also provide a Service Plan for the Dial -a -Ride system that addresses the
specific requirements of Exhibit D. Once this Service Plan is formally adopted, there will be an
enhanced monitoring structure implemented to determine the effectiveness of the Dial -a -Ride
program along with the other transportation programs at Aspen Highlands.
ESTIMATE OF DEMAND
Demand for transportation services is created by the residents and guests of AHV. The following
table is a comparison of the ultimate mix of residential types at AHV and Five Trees and the current
status of occupancy of these units. Ultimate resident population at full occupancy is also provided.
(The ultimate development information has been taken from following documents which are the
basis for approval of these developments by Pitkin County: Aspen Highlands Village Detailed
Submission — Consolidated Plan, September 1997 and Moore Family PUD Detailed Submission —
Consolidated Plan, 1997)
P P 1 1 9 9
November 17, 2003
Memorandum to Robert E. Daniel, Jr.
Page 4
The mix of units at AHV is:
Ultimate Currently Occupied
Free Market Single Family Homes 31 7
Free Market Townhomes 31 10
Tourist Accommodation Units 73 73
Affordable Housing Units 112 112
Total 247 202
(82% of ultimate)
The mix of units at Five Trees (previously known as the Moore Family PUD) is:
Ultimate Currently Occupied
Free Market Single Family Homes 40 11
Affordable Housing Units 31 31
Total 71 42
(59% of ultimate)
The projected population mix at AHV (assuming 100% occupancy) will be:
Ultimate Currently Occupied
Free Market Units 244 67
Affordable Housing Units 267 267
Tourist Accommodation Units 203 203
Total 714 537
Similarly, the ultimate projected population mix at Five Trees (assuming 100% occupancy) will be:
Ultimate Currently Occupied
Free Market Units 160 44
Affordable Housing Units 95 95
Total 255 139
Table B-3 of the Revised Maroon Creek Corridor Detailed Transportation Plan calculates that the
guests and residents of the Aspen Highlands Village should generate 347 person trips per day at
ultimate build -out. Likewise, Table B-6 shows that Five Trees should generate 113 person trips
per day. This is a total of 460 person trips per day for both developments combined.
Although limited statistics have been kept concerning ridership on the three components of the
AHV Dial -a -Ride system to date, existing ridership appears to be very close to meeting the goals
that were outlined in the Revised Maroon Creek Corridor Detailed Transportation Plan. Based on
the current occupancy of residences, the Dial -a -Ride system should average approximately 340
person -trips per day at 100 percent occupancy of all housing units. This estimate of the current
ridership goal has been calculated utilizing the same methodology and spreadsheets that was
used previously for the 1997 report. A copy of the updated spreadsheets is provided in Appendix
A. March is the peak month of the year for skiing -related activity and occupancy would be the
highest. Ridership calculations for March 2003 (see Appendix A) show that approximately 328
person trips per day were using the Dial -a -Ride system. The best available information
concerning current ridership statistics is also provided in Appendix A. This comparison shows that
the Dial -a -Ride system is very close to achieving anticipated capture rates. As discussed in a
following section, more detailed ridership information will be available in the future as a part of the
comprehensive monitoring program.

DESCRIPTION OF SPECIFIC SERVICES INCLUDING THE NUMBER OF VEHICLES,
SPARES, HOURS OF OPERATIONS AND HEADWAYS
In order to develop an appropriate Service Plan for Dial -a -Ride services, it is necessary to first
acknowledge the different use patterns and the available fixed route transportation alternatives that
currently exist for AHV and Five Trees residents and guests. Throughout the year, there is
extensive fixed route bus service that is primarily oriented to the downtown area of Aspen.
Additional services to other ski areas are provided to accommodate skier needs
Fixed Route Services during the Ski Season
During the ski season, Aspen Highlands is the focus of a number of free, fixed route bus services
that are provided for both skiers and residents. Including the Skier Shuttle buses run by RFTA,
regular buses, and the new dedicated Aspen Highlands bus, there are nine buses per hour arriving
and departing Aspen Highlands between the hours of 8:00 am and 4:30 pm. All of these buses are
free to the rider. With an average capacity of 35 seats per bus, this equates to 315 seats per hour
arriving and departing Aspen Highlands during these times. On a daily basis, this equates to an
ability to carry more than 2,680 passengers during the peak period (8.5 hours) of the day. Specific
routes and service levels include the following:
• The dedicated Ruby Park/Highlands bus runs from 5:45 am until midnight on 30 minute
headways.
• RFTA skier shuttle buses run from 8:00 am until 4:30 pm on 15 minute headways.
• The Castle/Maroon bus runs from 6 am until 2:30 am on 20 minute headways.
• The Buttermilk Shuttle Provides transportation for employees and skiers on an on -demand
basis. It operates from 7 am until 4:30 pm on 15-20 minute headways, all seven days per
week throughout the ski season. Once ski season ends the bus schedule is reduced
appropriately.
• Total estimated capacity (not including the Buttermilk Shuttle) during ski season exceeds
4,585 passenger seats per day on the fixed mass transit system.
To put this fixed route transit service into perspective, during Ski Season there are 2,680 free bus
seats arriving and departing Aspen Highlands (just in the 8am to 4:30pm timeframe). This number
is almost a four -times multiple of the current maximum occupancy figure (676), and a 2.75 times
multiple of projected full occupancy (969).

Fixed Route Services during the Summer Season
Between the regular buses and the new dedicated Aspen Highlands bus, there are 5 buses per
hour arriving and departing Aspen Highlands between the hours of 9:00 am and 5:00 pm. All of
these buses are free to the rider. With an average capacity of 35 seats per bus, this equates to
175 seats per hour arriving and departing Aspen Highlands during these times.
• The dedicated Ruby Park/Highlands bus runs from 5A5 am until 10:00 pm on 30 minute
headways.
• The Castle/Maroon bus runs from 6:20 am until 2:00 am on 20 minute headways.
The Fixed route transit services are intended for visitors and skiers as well as residents. The Dial -
a -Ride system is a supplement to these larger fixed route services for the added convenience of
residents and guests.
Dial -a -Ride Services
Dial -a -Ride is a common term for demand -responsive transit service which can be provided in
many formats. The initial Dial -a -Ride service described in Exhibit D called service between many
pick-up locations in AHV and Five Trees and three checkpoints (stops) in downtown Aspen. As
also noted in Exhibit D, initial service was to be provided by two vans on a fixed route through
downtown every half hour. On -call taxi service is representative of more intensive Dial -a -Ride
service with its "many -to -many" characteristics and generally short response time (the wait
between the phone call requesting pick-up and vehicle arrival).
Recognizing that the fixed route system and schedule has an impact on any other alternative
modes of transportation, the current Dial -a -Ride service at AHV and Five Trees has been
specifically structured to fully complement the extensive fixed route capacity to and from Aspen
Highlands. In developing the existing Dial -a -Ride program, the three overlapping entities (as
explained in the following organizational section) involved in providing service determined that the
service described in Exhibit D represents a duplication and overlap of the extensive fixed route
service already being provided to and from downtown Aspen. The AHV Dial -a -Ride system has
been structured to provide convenient "many -to -many" service.
In order to comply with the spirit and intent of the SIA - Exhibit D, a comprehensive Dial -a -Ride
service program is currently in place and operating 365 days per year. Table 1 provides detailed
information about the three components that make up the program. The following outline provides
an overview of the current program:

• Headways: Currently the entire system is run as an on -demand service with no specific
headways. The areas serviced are to and from the downtown core including points in
between and to and from the Aspen/Pitkin County Airport.
Service Provided: Building upon the extensive fixed route mass transit component at
Aspen Highlands, the initial Dial -a -Ride service is operating as an on -demand system. This
system was established to respond to the varying requirements of guests, visitors and
residents. It has the capacity to grow with demand without typical delays due to vehicle
limitations. As evidenced by the recent purchase of the Tahoe, the vehicle fleet and mix
has been expanded to meet increasing demand.
The AHV Dial -a -Ride system is comprised of three overlapping services. All residents and guests
at AHV and Five Trees have basic service provided through High Mountain Taxi. This service is
supplemented for the Tourist Accommodation Units and the AHV Free -Market Residential Units.
The system can be described in the following manner:
All Units in AHV and Five Trees — On -demand service available from 5:30 am until 2:00
am, 7 days a week to the Airport and downtown Aspen. This service is contracted through
High Mountain Taxi. High Mountain Taxi was selected because they are a recognized
provider of transit services by RFTA, they have handicap accessible vehicles available for
use upon request and they have the dispatch and fleet necessary to meet both present and
future needs of the Dial -A -Ride program.
• Tourist Accommodation Units — On -demand service available 24 hours a day, 7 days a
week to and from the Airport and downtown Aspen. This service is provided by two 14
passenger Turtle Top vans and three 7 passenger Suburbans.
• Free -Market Residential Units in AHV — On -demand service available from 6:00 am until
10:30 pm, 7 days a week to and from the Airport and downtown Aspen. This service is
provided by two 7 passenger Suburbans and one 5 passenger Tahoe.
In summary, the AHV transportation system provides a flexible and convenient response to the
mobility needs of residents and guests. It exceeds the service requirements and the number of
vehicles outlined in Exhibit D of the SIA and better accommodates patrons' individual and varied
desires for moving to downtown Aspen and the airport. Costs to provide the total Dial -a -Ride
service are approximately $$44,100 per month or almost $530,000 per year (see Appendix A). This
amount greatly exceeds the amount contemplated when Exhibit D was signed.

III. AN ORGANIZATIONAL CHART INDICATING MANAGER AND PERSONNEL TO
PROVIDE SERVICES
The Aspen Highlands Metropolitan District is responsible for management and assuring the service
of the Dial -a -Ride program for AHV and Five Trees (see Figure 1). The manager of the District is
Beach Resource Management, LLC. High Mountain Taxi provides the Dial -a -Ride for All Units at
AHV and Five Trees through a contract with the Aspen Highlands Commercial Metropolitan
District, a quasi -municipal corporation and political subdivision of the State of Colorado.
The Dial -a -Ride service for the Tourist Accommodation Units is provided by The Ritz Carlton as a
part of their overall management of the Association responsible for these units.
The Dial -a -Ride service for the Free -Market Residential Units at AHV is provided by Joshua &
Company as a part of their overall management of the Amenities Association responsible for these
units.
The District manages the providers of the services listed above; Joshua & Company, the Ritz
Carlton and High Mountain Taxi. In the event that the services change or are altered, it is the
responsibility of the District to assure that any gaps in service are filled immediately. The District
has specifically taken on this responsibility as a part of the Service Plan for the District.
IV. SERVICE MARKETING PLAN
Services are marketed to residents and guests using several methods. During the sale of all units
within Aspen Highlands Village, prospective owners are advised of the transit options available to
them. Following the sale of all units, residents and guests are advised through a community
website and quarterly newsletters of these services and their hours of operation; through periodic
meetings; and through updates mailed to residents. Appendix B shows typical examples of the
newsletter and website information concerning the available Dial -a -Ride services. In addition,
written materials are available at the community post office and at the Maroon Creek Station.
Samples of these printed materials available are shown in Figure 2.
The Ritz Carlton and Joshua & Company also advise their guests of the availability of these
services at the time reservations are made. Guests are also advised that there is no need to rent a
car during their holiday stay, as several alternatives are available to them (including shuttles, vans,
taxis and bus service). Guests, residents and day skiers appear to have embraced this message
as the use of these services is close to meeting forecasts.

In order to continue the past and current success of the transportation system, there needs to be
continuing efforts to provide more information to Aspen Highlands Village guests and residents.
This is an ongoing process of refining and enhancing the message about alternative transportation.
Upon approval of this Service Plan, the Aspen Highlands Metropolitan District will enter into a
marketing agreement with the City of Aspen Transportation Department to assist in the marketing
of the various transportation options available at Aspen Highlands Village. Recently the Metro
District has increased the level of information that is provided to residents and visitors which has
increased their awareness of current services. This awareness has been gained through
increased use of promotional materials, a change in the website format and description, notices
placed on residential doors within Aspen Highlands Village, and completed phone surveys on
transportation alternatives to determine use and utility of services offered. The District is
considering establishing a yearly budget for marketing that would allow continued printing of
brochures and door hangers as well as including reminders about the available Dial-2-Ride
services in each edition of the newsletters.
The District participates in the Transportation Options Program and attends bi-monthly TOP
meetings with businesses and others on transportation issues and provides fully subsidized bus
passes for staff of the District, the Master Association and the Parking and Loading Dock
Association.
MONITORING & REPORTING
Exhibit D of the SIA defines the following requirement for transportation system monitoring and
reporting:
"At the end of the first three years of operation (Dial -a -Ride) AHV shall submit an annual report to
RFTA at the end of the winter season. The report shall include:
1. Statistics regarding ridership for the previous year,
2. Instances involving standees and missed trips, or trips requested but not provided; and
3. Statistics regarding accidents and roadside calls.
Based upon the review of the annual report, changes in the level of service may be made. "
While these general reporting requirements are required for the Dial -a -Ride system, there are
greater reporting requirements relative to transportation as a whole for Aspen Highlands Village.
The Aspen Skiing Company began preparing annual reports regarding the agreed to service plan
in the 1999/2000 ski season. These monitoring reports have also been prepared and submitted to
the City of Aspen for the last three years. The 2002/2003 report has been completed, and a copy
is attached to this memorandum.
In order to provide more complete information, the Aspen Highlands Metropolitan District has
formulated the following comprehensive monitoring plan that was put into effect in January 2003:
November 17, 2003
Memorandum to Robert E. Daniel, Jr.
Page 13
The District assumed responsibility for the monitoring of air quality, and collection of
information regarding ridership, traffic counts, et cetera in December 2002. With the
assumption of these monitoring requirements, it was discovered that the air quality
monitoring station could not be properly calibrated. Intermountain Laboratories was
retained immediately and the system was completely overhauled and rehabilitated. A spare
parts inventory was established, and the monitoring station has been running efficiently and
providing accurate information since January 2003.
• The District has also completed traffic counting during the 2003 ski season; traffic counts
included a breakdown between vehicle types (bus, shuttle, service vehicle, skier/visitor, and
resident),.vehicles per hour, et cetera. The traffic survey is included in the annual report to
the City which will address air quality, transit and on -demand services. A copy of the
Monitoring Report for the 2002/2003 ski season is attached to this memorandum.
The District has purchased and is installing a traffic monitoring system that will operate on a
continuous basis during the 2003/2004 season. Additional equipment that will be
purchased includes five vehicle counters that will be installed on Prospector Road,
Thunderbowl Lane, the entrance to Building 7 and the entrance to Building 5. The fifth
counter will be installed in different locations throughout the year to record traffic at other
portions of the village. Hose counters will only be installed on snowmelt roads during the
winter to prevent damage and loss of information. Several cameras have recently been
approved for installation to monitor traffic at the bus stop area on Boomerang. It is possible
that some of the discrepancies in reporting between various entities are due to riders to
Highlands not departing the bus at Highlands. It occurs to the District that many riders that
get on the bus at other locations may ride to Highlands to get to Aspen. For example, the
bus stops at Castle Creek, the roundabout, the Aspen School District, and the Aspen
Recreation Center before stopping at Aspen Highlands. It is clear that Highlands is not the
final destination for these riders. The data produced by this system will become part of the
annual report and will provide daily figures on traffic totals at Aspen Highlands Village. The
system is proposed to be set-up to differentiate between vehicle types and to allow for the
generation of additional data that will be useful to the Village and the Maroon Creek
Corridor transit program. More details about the proposed traffic monitoring system for the
2003/2004 season are provided in Appendix C.
The District has agreed to continue monitoring for an additional period of two years beyond
what was originally required due to gaps in information during the past two years (prior to
the District assuming responsibility for monitoring). During this period of time, the District
will monitor air quality at Aspen Highlands; traffic numbers and, if possible, traffic type;
Buttermilk shuttle ridership; mass transit ridership; skier bus ridership; Maroon Bells
ridership; Dial -A -Ride use including all services provided to village residents; airport use
versus downtown core use; and skier parking counts.

Page 14
The District will also cooperate with the Aspen Highlands Village Association and Aspen
Skiing Company to compare special event numbers to traffic generation numbers and
changes in air quality data, if any. All data will be evaluated and converted to useful
information for inclusion in the annual report. Beginning in 2004 this report will be issued
shortly after the close of the ski season. The report will include information from summer
2003 activities and Maroon Bells transit information.
SUMMARY
Aspen Highlands Village provides a very comprehensive transportation system for residents,
guests, and skiers. AHV supports a number of fixed routes that are operated by RFTA. In
addition, a Dial -a -Ride system is provided for residents and guests. This system is well supported
financially and is very close to meeting ridership goals. The system provides overlapping services
so some users have several options for their trips to downtown Aspen and the Airport. This
success is due to an ongoing information program that is refined and enhanced continuously to
maintain recognition of the alternative transportation options available to AHV residents and

MEMORANDUM
TO: Julie Ann Woods, Community Development
FROM: Cindy Christensen, Housing Office
DATE: May 6, 2004
RE: ASPEN HIGHLANDS VILLA GEEMPL0YEEAUDIT
ISSUE: When the Aspen Highlands Village PUD was approved, a condition of the approval was
that "An audit of full-time employees shall be conducted at the applicant's expense one year after
completion of Phase Four. The applicant shall be responsible for housing mitigation of any
employee generation over and above that contemplated at the time of Detailed Subdivision
approval. If the required audit shows a reduction in employee generation, the applicant may seek a
credit to be used on other Pitkin County projects."
BACKGROUND: Hines Highlands Limited Partnership (HHLP) contracted Haas Land Planning,
LLC to conduct the employee audit for the Aspen Highlands Village project. The use of Haas Land
Planning LLC was approved by the Housing Office as an impartial third party to conduct the audit.
The audit concluded that the Ritz -Carlton Club maintains about 14.75 more FTE's than had been
accounted for by the approved generation factors. However, the audit showed that HHLP and the
Aspen Ski Company maintained approximately 23.45 and 6.18, respectively, fewer FTE's than
expected at the time of the approvals. The total FTE's of the PUD are to be considered; therefore,
the final conclusion of the audit holds that the Aspen Highland Village PUD generates about 14.89
fewer FTE's than were expected to be generated when the approvals were granted.
The calculations presented were correctly computed, but remain subject to limitations. Those
limitations are stated below:
1. The annual man-hour figures in the audit are based on data provided by the Ritz -Carlton
Club, Hines Highlands Limited Partnership and the Aspen Ski Company. Data was not
independently obtained from or documented in State records or any other source.
2. Where a space remains vacant or a tenant did not provide information, the audit used the
approved employee generation rates to result in neither a shortfall nor a surplus of FTE's
attributable to that space.
Mitch Haas stated that an audit can only be as good as the data on which it is based, and not all
tenants had been able to provide multi -year data. It was impossible for Mr. Haas to extrapolate
meaningful trends or even arrive at meaningful averages.
RECOMMENDATION. • The Housing Board reviewed the findings of the audit and concluded the
following:
1. Hines Highlands Limited Partnership has satisfied their mitigation requirement for the
development of Aspen Highlands Village.
2. The audit concluded that there is a credit of 14.89 FTE's.
3. Condition 16 of BOCC Resolution No. 97-167 allow the Hines Highlands Limited
Partnership to seek a credit to be used on other Pitkin County projects.
4. At such time that Hines Highlands Limited Partnership would want to utilize any of the
14.89 FTE credits, approval would need to be received from the appropriate elected body
and the amount utilized to be noted in a recorded document until such time as all of the
credits are utilized.

by Owner utilizing the same procedure set forth above and subject
to establishing satisfactory partial completion of the
improvements, such partial releases shall be granted.

construction of the Project Public Improvements, Owner shall be
entitled to a release from the County of an equivalent amount of
Security, provided the County Attorney is satisfied with the
County's ability to have the Project Public Improvements
completed in the event of Owner's default. If the County
Attorney is not satisfied as required herein, the original
security posted by the Owner for the completion of the work will

Units for that phase, provided Owner has submitted Security to
the County in the form of a completion bond to assure completion
of that phase of construction of the Affordable Housing Units as
described in the Phasing Schedule. No Certificate of Occupancy

Notice of Non -Compliance shall include a list of specific
deficiencies to be corrected in order to cure the non-compliance.

shall conduct a hearing (the "Non -Compliance Hearing") to
determine whether or not a default exists. As such hearing,
Owner may present any evidence relevant to the alleged default.
Should the BOCC determine at the hearing that a default exists,
then Owner shall have ninety (90) days from the date of the
hearing within which to correct the deficiencies, weather
permitting. If at the expiration of said ninety (90) day time
period, Owner is proceeding with due diligence and the

so long as Owner shall continue to proceed with due diligence to
correct such deficiencies.

deficiencies identified in the Notice of Non -Compliance within
the time provided or in the event a Non -Compliance Hearing shall
occur where the BOCC determines a default exists and ninety (90)
days from the date of the hearing or any extension thereof shall

correct deficiencies, it shall make a good faith effort to
correct the deficiencies and complete the Project in accordance
with approved plans and specifications; provided, however, the
County will not be liable to the Declarant, its successors and
assigns, including individual lot owners, for the County's
failure to correct the deficiencies or properly complete the
Project. The County shall be obligated to make a good faith
effort to complete the project, provided that the County may
decide to only secure public health, safety, and welfare. In
such event, the County may only draw on the bond in an amount
necessary to complete said work in as economical and efficient a
manner as possible.
(d) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall limit
other remedies available to Pitkin County under Colorado law.

RE: Moore Family PUD
Air Quality Analysis - Simplified Format
DATE: February 11, 1997
This memorandum presents the Moore Family PUD air quality impacts using the format as
requested by Nancy MacKenzie and Lee Cassin of the Aspen/Pitkin County Environmental
Health Department (EHD). In addition to the revised format, this report contains the
following revisions to the previous air quality analysis memo to Nancy MacKenzie and Rick
Magill, dated December 9, 1996:
o Inclusion of affordable housing units
o Inclusion of VMT and PM10 from 14 additional parking spaces at the school
o Revised mitigation to include the paving of two parking lots
PM10 Analysis
As requested by the EHD, a straightforward analysis consisting of total project related VMT
increases, PM10 increases, mitigation measures, and total PM10 reductions have been
presented in this memo. Table 1 presents the summary of this analysis.

Memo to Lee Cassin, Nancy MacKenzie
Mitigation Measures
Paving Parking Lots
The Moore PUD agrees to the paving of private and public parking lots so that a -22.3
lb/day of PM10 emission reduction can be demonstrated. Currently the Moore PUD plans -
to pave the Iselin Park parking lot with an estimated PM10 emissions reduction totaling -
31.3 lb/day. As agreed upon with Lee Cassin, EHD, the following formula will be used to
estimate P�I10 emission reductions from the paving of large unpaved parking lots (greater
than 25 cars per day use):
PNI10 Reduction = (Counts) x (0.0016) x (13/5.5) x (# Entrances) lb/day PM10
where:
Counts = Average Daily traffic volume of road which parking lots
exit onto
# Entrances = Number of entrance/exits into parking lot
Affordable Housing
A credit for the reduced trip distance of local employees was given to the affordable housing
units at the Moore PUD. As agreed upon with Lee Cassin, EHD, the amount of trips that
would be affected at the affordable housing equals 1/2 of all trips generated at the Moore
PUD affordable housing.
VMT Trip Distance Used
In the calculation of daily VMT increases due to the Moore PUD, the round trip distance
of 10 miles, as requested by Lee Cassin, was used. All trips and trip generation rates used
in this analvsis are in terms of trip ends (i.e., one-way trips), so all VMT increases are
calculated using the number of trips x 5 miles.

MOORE FAMILY PUD_
CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT PLAN
Overview
In preparing the procedures and measures to be incorporated in
the construction process for the Moore Family Planned Unit
Development (PUD), it is important to understand both the goals
of such programs and the practical realities of the construction
process. Our intent is to minimize impacts associated with the
construction of the Moore Family PUD improvements while allowing
work to proceed in such a manner as to avoid prolonging the
construction period.
Travel Demand Measures (TDM) are most often thought of when
discussing the progress of an existing development or how to deal
with potential impacts from a future development. The concept of
utilizing TDM as a part of the construction and development
process is a unique idea. Typically, TDM will principally deal
with mass transit incentives and auto disincentive. However,
other ideas have been investigated relative to TDM and the
construction process. Outlined below are several measures the
project proposes to implement as a part of the construction
process.
Travel Demand and Traffic Control measures
During the construction of the Moore Family PUD the following TDM
and Traffic Control program will be in effect:
o Delivery of construction raw materials will be prohibited
during the peak traffic periods. This will limit such
delivery access to Moore Family PUD from 8:00 a.m. to 8:30
a.m. and from 2:50 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. The exception to this
will be scheduled concrete pours that are time -sensitive due
to the quantity of concrete being placed or poured at one
time. Delivery times may be altered at the discretion of
the County Engineer.
o Speed limits for tandem axle and larger vehicles will be
posted at 20 mph at all times. Signs on County roads shall
be provided by the developer and installed by the County.
o Sub -contractors will be issued a limited number of parking
permits for their workers.
o General contractors will be required to provide a parking
plan with their individual construction contracts.
o Contractors will be required to provide van -pooling or car-
pooling programs as a part of their construction contract.
Reduction in payment provisions shall be incorporated into
the contracts as a means of ensuring compliance.
hours in advance of the scheduled occurrence, and obtain
written permission of the County to do so.
o There will be no construction or materials staging, or
short- or long-term parking on any public land in the
immediate vicinity of the development, including, but not
limited to, the Aspen School District campus, Iselin Park
and the LDS Church, without the written consent of the land
owners.
o All contractors will be required to notify public and/or
private utility companies at least forty-eight (48) hours
prior to commencement of any work in the vicinity of the
utilities. No work will commence until the utility company
has located the utilities or written consent to proceed has
been issued. If utility service must be interrupted,
contractors will be required to notify the appropriate
County authorities and the affected utility users at least
twenty-four 924) hours prior to interruption.
o Notice will consist of the contractor's posting of prominent
and easily read signs, distribution of handbill notices,
publication in a local newspaper or a public announcement on
local radio, or any combination of these as may be
appropriate.
o Neither the Owner or his contractors shall stop or flag
traffic on any public road without having a traffic control
plan approved and in place. Any flagging or traffic control
shall be done by State certified flaggers. No signing shall
be placed within the public road right-of-way without the
prior approval of the County.
Noise Control for Construction Equipment
o The contractor will be required to comply with all
applicable noise control regulations, including the Pitkin
County Noise Abatement Ordinance.
o All construction equipment operations shall be scheduled to
operate only during daylight hours, i.e., 7:00 a.m. to 7:00
p.m., Monday through Saturday.
Construction Materials Staging and Parking
o There is to be no construction or materials staging, or
short or long term parking on any public land in the
immediate vicinity of the development, including, but not
limited to, the Aspen School District Campus, Iselin Park
and the LDS Church, without the written consent of the land
owners.
•
•
o To the greatest extent possible raw materials will be
stockpiled on site to try to consolidate deliveries of
materials in larger quantities (for example gravel).
o A site traffic/delivery coordinator shall be designated and
responsible for monitoring delivery and contractor
compliance with the TDM program.
o The covenants and design guidelines for the individual
neighborhoods will have provisions regarding contractor
parking on the streets.
o Prior to each construction season there will be a meeting
with RFTA, the Pitkin County Sheriff's Office, the School
Superintendent, the Pitkin County Engineer, and the
Developer to review the construction season work program and
address any concerns raised during the previous construction
season.
In addition to the above measures, Moore Family PUD will plan and
implement the following programs:
Fugitive Dust Control Plan
o Dust control will be implemented from start to finish of
each construction season until the project is complete.
o Contractors will be required to assume all responsibility
for dust control and shall carry out proper and efficient
measures wherever and whenever dust control is necessary,
thereby minimizing dust damage and nuisance to persons and
property.
o Contractors will also be required to control dust at the
work site by the use of an adequate number of water trucks
or an effective palliative using such dust -laying equipment
and methods as may be required.
o To the greatest extent possible raw material deliverers to
and from the site will be water sprayed or covered with
tarpaulins as necessary to additionally minimize dust and
dirt from construction operations. Any mud or debris carry-
out onto the public roads will be cleaned on a regular
basis, during the construction of the public improvements.
o Cleaning shall be done as necessary, at the direction of the
County Engineer.
Public Notification Plan
o If it becomes necessary to re-route traffic on existing
roadways due to construction related activity, the
responsible contractor will be required to notify the
general public of the detour(s) at least twenty-four (24)

On Demand Dial -A -Ride Transit Service Plan
The Moore PUD and Aspen Highlands Village will join together to
operate a dial -a -ride service to reduce the need for residents and
guests to utilize automobiles. The operation will offer a door-to-
door delivery system and will service trips to areas near Aspen.
Transportation service will be provided to the City of Aspen core
area and to the airport. The following sections propose a
preliminary operations and service plan, and describes the vehicles
to be used. Some operations details will be finalized when the
service has been established.
Operations Plan
The system will be operated in a flexible manner to maximize
convenience for riders. Service levels will be tailored to demand
to provide convenient service. This section describes the initial
service plan which may be modified in the future to meet actual
demands of residents and guests as the properties are built out.
Service will be initiated after all the certificates of occupancy
have been issued for the affordable housing units in Phase 3 of the
Moore PUD. This will coincide with the initiation of dial -a -ride
for Aspen Highlands Village. The fleet of vehicles and service may
be expanded as the developments grow. Service will be provided to
the two areas illustrated by Figure 1.
Vans will operated on a fixed schedule with pick-ups in the center
of Aspen every one-half hour during the winter and summer high
seasons. On the other end of the route at AHV and the Moore PUD
the vans will drop off and pick up passengers at their origin or
destination. During the off-peak seasons services will be reduced
to match demand.
During.the peak season(s), Route # 1 will serve the Aspen Core.
Dial -a -ride vans will provide service on a fixed one-half hour
schedule generally following the route depicted on Figure 2. Three
check points will be established in Aspen, potentially at Mill
Street/Hyman Avenue, Cooper Avenue/Spring Street and at Rubey Park.
The vans will pass these checkpoints on each circuit route so
patrons are not required to call for service. Two vans will
provide one-half hour headways at the checkpoints.
The second destination, Route # 2 is the Aspen-Pitkin County
Airport. This will be on demand service, similar to services
provided by other resorts in the Aspen area. At the time guests
make reservations to stay at AHV, they will be advised that car
rental is not necessary because of the alternative transit services
available. Departures to the airport will be scheduled ahead of
time.
Service Plan
Service Plan
Prior to initiation of service, AHV shall present a detailed
service plan to the RFTA for review. The plan shall include:
1. Estimate of demand;
2. Description of specific services including the number of
vehicles, spares, hours of operations and headways;
3. An organizational chart indicating manager and personnel
to provide services; and
4. Service marketing plan.
AHV intends to offer dial -a -ride service seven days a week during
the winter and summer peak seasons. The Aspen core route will be
offered from 7 AM to midnight. Rider surveys will be utilized to
determine night service should run later in the evening.
Service to the airport will be provided when the airport is
operating. The service will be available to all guests and
residents in AHV and the Moore PUD.
AHV shall submit an annual report to RFTA at the end of the winter
season. The report shall include:
1. Statistics regarding ridership for the previous year;
2. Instances involving standees and missed trips, or trips
requested but not provided; and
3, Statistics regarding accidents and roadside calls.
Based upon the review of the annual report, changes in the levels
service may be made.
Vehicles
The service will operate vans capable of carrying as many as 12
passengers at one time with space for luggage and skis. Passengers
will be able to stand in the vehicles.
Eventually, three or four vans may be utilized when both
developments are fully occupied. Initially, the fleet will consist
of two vans and will be expanded as demand warrants. The vans will
be stored in the AHV parking area and will be maintained by local
mechanics in the Roaring Fork Valley. If necessary, another van(s)
will be rented if a van is out of service for repairs, and high
traffic is anticipated.
At least one of the vans in the fleet will be equipped with a wheel
chair lift for the handicapped.
•
Cost
The cost for providing this service has been projected based on
vehicle utilization and industry hourly costs to operate vehicles.
During the winter peak season, it is projected that passenger
productivity will vary between eight and 12 passengers per vehicle
per hour. Van costs are assumed to be $ 30. per van hour based on
the service being run. The cost to provide service is estimated to
be $ 295,000 per year.

Aspen Highlands Village
Final Construction Management Plan
Revised October 5, 1998
Overview
This Construction Management Plan has been revised to reflect the comments and feedback
received from the County Engineer, Bud Eyiar, at the annual pre -construction meeting hcid on
April 23, 1998. As agrees to at he meeting, this plan is intended to serve as:
• A vehicle of cooperative understandings between the Developer and the County, to
be modified and amended (with mutual agreement from both parties) as required
• A source of ongoiong communication with the County's Public Works/Road &
Bridge Department in an effort to keep the County informed of construcrion
activities, work progress, and to keep an open dialogue regarding construction issues
that effect the community
• An amended and approved plan for the 1998 construction schedule.
The County and the Developer reserve the right to make reasonable changes (with mutual
agreement form both parties) to the plan as needed.
In preparing the procedures and measures to be incorporated in the construction process for the
Aspen Highlands Base Village, it is important to understand both the goals of such programs and
the practical realities of the construction process. Our intent is to minimize impacts associated
with the construction of the Aspen Highlands Base Village improvements while allowing work to
proceed in such a manner as to avoid prolonging the construction period.
Travel Demand Measures (TDM) are most often thought of when discussing the progress of an
existing development or how to deal with potential impacts from a future development. The
concept of utilizing TDM as a part of the construction and development process is a unique idea.
Typically, TDM will principally deal with mass transit incentives and auto disincentives.
However, other ideas have been investigated relative to TDM and the construction process.
Outlined below are several measures the project proposes to implement as a part of the
construction process.
Travel Demand and Traffic Control Measures
The following Traffic Control Plan has been presented and approved by the County Engineer. It
will be self -performed by Gould Construction with their certified staff.
During the construction of the Aspen Highlands Base Village the following TDM and Traffic
Control program will be in effect:
• Delivery of construction raw materials will be prohibited during the peak traffic periods.
This will limit such delivery access to Aspen Highlands Base Village from 8:00am to 8:30am
and from 2:50pm to 3:30pm. The exception to this will be scheduled concrete pours that are
time -sensitive due to the quantity of concrete being placed or poured at one time.
• A public notification process through the local papers will be established. Pitkin County has
authorized a courtesy sign at the Maroon Creek/Hwy 82 intersection.
• Speed limits for tandem axle and larger vehicles will be posted at 20 mph at all times.
• General Contractor acknowledges that County Road 19, McClain Flats Road, is posted for a
20-Ton Weight Limit. The General Contractor shall notify all contractors/sub-contractors

involved in this project with this information. The County shall strictly enforce the Weight
Limita on thin road.
• Sub -Contractors will be issued a limited number of parking permits for their workers.
• General contractors will be required to provide a parking pian with their individual
construction contracts. The General Contractor will contact local bike shoos with notification
relative to Maroon Creek Road. The General Contractor will have to enforce public safety
issues relative to truck tarTic and interface with pedestrians & cyclists.
• Contractors will be required to provide van -pooling or car pooling programs as a part of their
construction contract Reduction in payment provisions shall be incorporated into the
contracts as a means of ensuring compliance.
• To the greatest extent possible raw materials will be stockpiied on site to try to consolidate
deliveries of materials in larger quantities (for exampie gavel).
• A site tra$icidelivery coordinator shall be designated and responsible for monitoring delivery
and contractor compliance with the TDM program.
• The covenants and design guidelines for the individual neighborhoods will have provisions
regarding contractor parking on the streets.
• There will be no parking allowed on Maroon Creek Road or in the adjoining neighborhoods.
• The Developer and the County may make reasonable changes in the hours restricting hauling
activities, based upon changes in tragic loading on Maroon Creek Road and on seasonal
activities in the area. The County reserves the right to stop all hauling or constrction
activities on Maroon Creek Road for special events or activities (scheduled bike and/or road
races, etc.). The County will give the Developer reasonable notice of the imposition of
restrictions.
• The Developer acknowledges that hauling activities to and from the jobsite are restricted to
the 12 hour period between 7:00 am and 7:00 pm, Monday through Saturday.
• The Contractor will make reasonable efforts to stage trucking activities on site to minimize
empty loads to/from the jobsite.
• Prior to each construction season there will be a meeting with RFTA, the Pitkin County
Sheriffs Office, the School Superintendent, the Pitkin County Director of Public Works and
the Developer to review the construction season work program and address any concerns
raised during the previous construction season.
In addition to the above measures, Aspen Highlands Base Village will plan and implement the
following programs:
Fugitive Dust Control Plan
• Dust control will be implemented from start to finish of each construction season until the
project is complete.
• Contractors will be required to assume all responsibility for dust control and shall cant' out
proper and efficient measures wherever and whenever dust control is necessary, thereby
minimizing dust damage and nuisance to persons and property.
• Contractors will also be required to control dust at the work site by the use of an adequate
number of water trucks or an effective palliative using such dust -laying equipment and
methods as may be required.
• To the greatest extent possible raw material deliveries to and from the site will be water
sprayed or covered with tarpaulins as necessary to additionally minimize dust and dirt from
construction operations.
ii42327m� nmuiin:iqSLM�ingmuiniiiuIini
Public Notification Plan
If it becomes necessary to reroute traffic on existing roadways due to construction related
activity, the responsible contractor will be required to notify the general public of the
detour(s) at least twenty-four (24) hours in advance or the scheduled occurrence.
All contractors will be required to notify public and/or private utility companies at least forty-
eight (48) hours prior to commencement of any work in the vicinity of the utilities. No work
will commence until the utility company has located the utilities or written consent to proceed
has been issued. If utility service must be interrupted, contractors will be required to notify
the appropriate County authorities and the affected utility users at least twenty-four (24)
hours prior to interruption.
Notice will consist of the contractor's posting of prominent and easily read signs, distribution
of handbill notices, publication in a locai newspaper or a public announcement on local radio,
or any combination of these as may be appropriate.
Noise Control for Construction Equipment
• The contractor will be required to comply with all applicable noise control regulations,

During the peak season(s), Route # 1 will serve the Aspen Core.
Dial -a -ride vans will provide service on a fixed one-half hour
schedule generally following the route depicted on Figure 2. Three
check points :rill be established in Aspen, potentially at Mill
Street/Hyman Avenue, Cooper Avenue/Spring Street and at Rubey Park.
The vans will pass these checkpoints on each circuit route so
patrons are not required to call for service. Two vans will
provide one-half hour headways at the checkpoints.
The second destination, Route # 2 is the Aspen-Pitkin County
Airport. This will be on demand service, similar to services
provided by other resorts in the Aspen area. At the time guests
make reservations to stay at AHV, they will be advised that car
rental is not necessary because of the alternative transit services
available. Departures to the airport will be scheduled ahead of
time.
Service Plan
Prior to initiation of service, AHV shall present a detailed
service plan to the RFTA for review. The plan shall include:
1. Estimate of demand;
2. Description of specific services including the number of
vehicles, spares, hours of operations and headways;
3. An organizational chart indicating manager and personnel
to provide services; and
4. service marketing plan.
ARV intends to offer dial -a -ride service seven days a week during
the winter and summer peak seasons. The Aspen core route will be
offered from 7 AM to midnight. Rider surveys will be utilized to
determine night service should run later in the evening.
Service to the airport will be provided when the airport is
operating. The service will be available to all guests and
residents in AHV and the Moore PUD.
At the end of each of the first three years of operation AHV shall
submit an annual report to RFTA at the end of the winter season.
The report shall include:
1. Statistics regarding ridership for the previous year;
2. Instances involving standees and missed trips, or trips
requested but not provided; and
3, Statistics regarding accidents and roadside calls.
Based upon the review of the annual report, changes in the levels
service may be made.

Vehicles
The service will operate vans capable of carrying as many as 12
passengers at one time with space for luggage and skis. Passengers
will be able to stand in the vehicles.
Eventually, three or four vans may be utilized when both
developments are fully occupied. Initially, the fleet will consist
of two vans and will be expanded as demand warrants. The vans will
be stored in the AHV parking area and will be maintained by local
mechanics in the Roaring Fork Valley. If necessary, another van(s)
will be rented if a van is out of service for repairs, and high
traffic is anticipated.
At least one of the vans in the fleet will be equipped with a wheel
chair lift for the handicapped.
Cost
The cost for providing this service has been projected based on
vehicle utilization and industry hourly costs to operate vehicles.
During the winter peak season, it is projected that passenger
productivity will vary between eight and 12 passengers per vehicle
per hour. Van costs are assumed to be $ 30. per van hour based on
the service being run. The cost to provide service is estimated to
be $ 295,000 per year.

THRU: Julie Ann Woods, Community Development Director
FROM: Sarah Oates, Zoning Officer
DATE: May 25, 2004
SUBJECT: Aspen Highlands Village PUD and Moore Family PUD
Finding of Substantial Compliance -Subdivision Improvements
Agreement
Hines Highlands Limited Partnership has requested the City of Aspen makes finding that
the developer is in substantial compliance with the conditions of the Subdivision
Improvements Agreement (SIA) for both Aspen Highlands Village and Moore Family
PUDs.
Attached please find a memorandum from the Transportation Department outlining a
revised dial a ride program from what was initially approved (Exhibit A). Also attached
is a memorandum from the Housing Authority summarizing the employee generation
audit for the Aspen Highlands Village PUD (Exhibit B). Finally, staff has included the
SIAs for both subdivisions. Other relevant referral departments have confirmed with the
Community Development Department the SIA obligations have been met at both
subdivisions.
Staff recommends Council make a "Finding of Substantial Compliance" with regards to
the requirements of the Subdivision Improvements Agreement for both Aspen Highlands
Village PUD and Moore Family PUD.
8. The Detailed Submission Approval requires compliance with all material
representations made in the land use applications, supplemental materials and in public
meetings.
On or about September 2, 1997 Hines presented a grading plan as part of the public
approval process. Sheets L-200 and L-204 ("Maroon Neighborhood Grading Plan")
show a common driveway installed to provide access to Lots 13, 14 and 15. No such
driveway has ever been installed. At least one version of Sheet L-204 shows a "concrete
driveway". The Maroon Neighborhood Grading Plan was included as a portion of the
Detailed Submission.
states"
9. The Planned Unit Development Guide recorded as Reception No. 423274
"In limited instances; Hines Highlands Partnership may construct a driveway
retaining wall outside of the Activity Envelopes which is not depicted on
drawings L-200 (Site Plan), L-204 (Maroon Creek Neighborhood Grading Plan)
and L-204 (Thunderbowl Neighborhood Grading Plan), when the Pitkin County
Engineer determines that the construction of retaining wall reduces site impacts"
It is our understanding that the Pitkin County Engineer has never made such a
determination with respect to the retaining wall that was built in the access easement for
Lot 13, 14 and 15,.
10. Sheets L-200 and L-204 are attached as Exhibits to the Planned Unit
Development Guide, and constitute a representation as to the obligations of the
Developer.
11. We would propose that as a condition of any finding of substantial
compliance with the Subdivision Improvements Agreement that Hines be required to
escrow $25,000.00 (an amount it has offered in settlement of this dispute) in an escrow
account to secure its responsibilities, and that the parties agree to binding arbitration. The
amount in the escrow account would not be a limitation on the amount that might be
awarded in the arbitration. There is an action pending in Pitkin County District Court
Civil Action No. 02 CV 104 regarding this matter which would be stayed as to Hines if
arbitration is agreed upon.

John McCormick

Community Development
Re: Highlands SIA non-compliance
Dear Sara,
As per our discussion I do not feel that Hines Development has completed its
obligations per the Subdivision Improvement Agreement.
My Reasons:
1. Certain lots in the subdivision are served by a "common driveway" and do not
have direct access to the public roads.
2. In all purchase contracts, Hines agreed to build the roads and the common
portions of the driveways.
3. Hines built a wall in the common driveway easement for Lots 13, 14 and 15
This is the wall you are already aware of.
4. Hines did not install a common driveway that could be accessed by Lots 13, 14
and 15.
5. In the sale of Lots 13, 14 and 15, it was anticipated that there would be a
common driveway easement. This common driveway easement is referenced in the
Declaration, and an unsigned draft is included in the materials provide to all buyers.
6. Hines failed to record the Common Driveway Easement for Lots 13, 14 and
15. The common driveway easement clearly contemplates that the common drive shall
have already been built, as a common driveway easement anticipates maintenance and
repairs issues among the lot owners using a common driveway, but has no specific
language on construction of the actual common driveway.
7. The Subdivision Improvements Agreement requires the roads to be installed in
compliance with the Detailed Submission Approval.
MEMORANDUM
TO: Julie Ann Woods, Community Development
FROM: Cindy Christensen, Housing Office
DATE: May 6, 2004
RE: ASPENHIGHLANDS VILLAGE EMPLOYEEAUDIT
ISSUE: When the Aspen Highlands Village PUD was approved, a condition of the approval was
that "An audit of full-time employees shall be conducted at the applicant's expense one year after
completion of Phase Four. The applicant shall be responsible for housing mitigation of any
employee generation over and above that contemplated at the time of Detailed Subdivision
approval. If the required audit shows a reduction in employee generation, the applicant may seek a
credit to be used on other Pitkin County projects."
BACKGROUND: Hines Highlands Limited Partnership (HHLP) contracted Haas Land Planning,
LLC to conduct the employee audit for the Aspen Highlands Village project. The use of Haas Land
Planning LLC was approved by the Housing Office as an impartial third party to conduct the audit.
The audit concluded that the Ritz -Carlton Club maintains about 14.75 more FTE's than had been
accounted for by the approved generation factors. However, the audit showed that HHLP and the
Aspen Ski Company maintained approximately 23.45 and 6.18, respectively, fewer FTE's than
expected at the time of the approvals. The total FTE's of the PUD are to be considered; therefore,
the final conclusion of the audit holds that the Aspen Highland Village PUD generates about 14.89
fewer FTE's than were expected to be generated when the approvals were granted.
The calculations presented were correctly computed, but remain subject to limitations. Those
limitations are stated below:
1. The annual man-hour figures in the audit are based on data provided by the Ritz -Carlton
Club, Hines Highlands Limited Partnership and the Aspen Ski Company. Data was not
independently obtained from or documented in State records or any other source.
2. Where a space remains vacant or a tenant did not provide information, the audit used the
approved employee generation rates to result in neither a shortfall nor a surplus of FTE's
attributable to that space.
Mitch Haas stated that an audit can only be as good as the data on which it is based, and not all
tenants had been able to provide multi -year data. It was impossible for Mr. Haas to extrapolate
meaningful trends or even arrive at meaningful averages.
1
RECOMMENDATION: The Housing Board reviewed the findings of the audit and concluded the
following:
1. Hines Highlands Limited Partnership has satisfied their mitigation requirement for the
development of Aspen Highlands Village.
2. The audit concluded that there is a credit of 14.89 FTE's.
3. Condition 16 of BOCC Resolution No. 97-167 allow the Hines Highlands Limited
Partnership to seek a credit to be used on other Pitkin County projects.
4. At such time that Hines Highlands Limited Partnership would want to utilize any of the
14.89 FTE credits, approval would need to be received from the appropriate elected body
and the amount utilized to be noted in a recorded document until such time as all of the
credits are utilized.

RE: Aspen Highlands Village & Moore Family PUD
Finding Of Substantial Compliance -Transportation Requirements
DATE April 26, 2004
Attached is my draft of a document that will serve as the "closure" to transportation
requirements in the SIAs for the Aspen Highlands Village and the Moore Family PUD.
We have been working and negotiating these with Hines and the Metro Districts for quite
a while now. Some of the conditions in the SIA have been complied with previously.
The main sticking point has been compliance with the Dial A Ride requirements. Staff
now feels that this issue has been resolved and that the proposed solution meets or
exceeds the original requirements.
With this resolution, the Transportation staff feels that it is now ready to go forward to
City Council and present this packages as meeting the transportation requirements in the
SIAs. This completion would also help in closing out both of these developments for the
developer and the Metro Districts.
Can you please review the attached memo "draft" and advise me as to the proper process
that this needs to follow and review as to the proper form and content of the documents.
After your help I will change as needed and then send the documents to Hines and the
Metro Districts. Right now, I am hoping to get this on the May 10, Council agenda.
Let me know if a meeting is the best format to review this and I will set one up.
Thanks for your help and quick attention to this matter.
