Mr. Molny continued by saying we need time to plan the highway without delaying construct- ion. All planners state we would have to up-date our inventory of 1966 in order to do furthei p~anning.

Administrator Wurl stated the only funds that would be available would be from the contigmncy with Council has already~indicited would be used f'~r the planner and office, or Council could decide, whic items budgeted for they did. not wish to pursue..and use those funds for this purpose. It is questionable wheter this can be done this time of the year or having ~o wait till the last uarter of the year. There Is also the possibility, the Charter will not provide for this.

Density~ Open Space Robin Molny~ Chairman ofthe Planning and~Zoning Commission .submitted the Planning and Zoning Commission'.s recommendation consisting of.lthe pages*of the present ordinance affect- ed, new draft crdinance~.~shaded map showing the~AR~l,. C~i and C~G~zones. Mr. Molny outlined the basic changes as: density in the three zones mentioned above, re- quiring open space in~C~C.and~G~l; changing~the floor ~area ration in ~he~C-C and~C~l;, em~ tablishem a floor area ratio in the AR~i zone; Density ~igures are those as reflected orginally in the Master Plan. Mr. Molny also refermed to a s~udy made by,the Building Inspector~of buildings built in 1968, 1969 and 2 proposed buildings for 1970. Report,shows that almost without exception the buildings are providing enough~open_space.~to fultfil the 25% open space,requirement under the new ordimance. Wish.to get the open,space:where it will benefit the most people which is on the street. The~open space in the report includes parking,area~ Mr. Molny stated a question was raised~by the Mayor, this ordinance would do ~way with employee housing. Mr. Molny stated he felt this was a separate catagory from-this endeavor and would require professional study. Mr. Molny referred to the figures under boarding house, rooming house and dormitory and outlined how many people per so many square feet ~his would accommodate. Mr. Molny stated the Planning and ~Zoning Commission does not have a resolution to submit to Council as per the requirements, but request Council consider passing this ordinance as soon as possible. Mr. Whitney Miller was present,and, stated he felt'more time should be given~for reviewing ~. the ordinance since it was not a~ailable until just before the meeting. Mayor Homeyer stated it was the intention of Council to continue the hearing until next week Monday. Councilman Whitaker pointed out under the~old ordinance allowed 250 square feet for a limited unit. Would have 62-1/2 mquare feet per'~person, which is creating a slu~ Mayor Homeyer stated She would just like to remind Council, when you change something you create an unbalance~ such as,a.rush of building. - Mr. Dunaway pointed out employee housing was not built under the old ordinance. At the same time need also a solution to the over-crowding in the downtown, Mr. Tom Daly stated more time should be given to.this proposal, constant changes will create a problem and chances of going to court. Presently.have 1200 apartments or homes taking up about 14 acres of land. People are coming into town anyway, cannot stop this. The proposed First National~Bank of~Aspen figures indicate .there will,be 80,000 people . · in the valley. To house 1000 people would take~20O0 acres in teh county, this is taking-up prime open space, Ail apartments should provide their own parking~ We are chasing people down the valley and at the same time they will come here to ski etc., camsing a parking problem. We're talking about 5,000 cars over the next 4 or 5 years. Parking under Rubey Park wzi1 only accommodate 60 ears, parking under Wagner and above-ground could accommodate about 300 cars. This is just~a~drop in~the~bucket of.relieving the parking problem. Parkin under Rubey Park woul.d cost a quarter of a million dollars to construct and under Wagner about one million. Should consider purchasing land,outside of town for parking and conside tramways. In Europe they do not allow building in the valleys. Dr. Robert Barnard was present and stated~on Page 5 of the draft ordinance, under #~.~ ~ minimum lot area following~750~square feet should be lot tot area. Further commented to slow down growth is a fallacy, all that will happen is there will be fewer units which will be larger units and you play the door game. Present economic conditions will slow down growth. If growth is the prime goal of this recommendation, suggest the City consider ~ enlarging the C-C zone. Rubey Park'is a good example, property~ has gone through 3 owners and has not been built on, now being offered to the City. The requirement of cormnercial controls the C-~ zone. Dr. Barnard snmbitted a memorandum agreement as follows and request be m~de a part of the record: '~emorandum Agreement - This memorandum agreement made this 19th day of January, 1970, by and between Joseph T.

Mr. Molny state~ .Dri'Barnard'S po'int 6n enlarging the c-C Zone is an exce%~lent one, would require further study.~ Mr. Whitaker 'informed th0se presen~ this proble~'has been worked on since~the mast'er'~pian pted Dr. Daly scared Bar~ard is right, because the' sale of condominiums is sloW, plans have been filed beaause of this scare of a change. To obtain open space, the City should eon- sider going higher, 7 or 8 stories. Go higher, require more open space and on location parking. By being higher will slow down the pace because df the increase in cost'of ' constructing a high building. Oates stated the developers will be rushing in to file their plans and obtain permits, perhaps a timing on the effective date of the ordinance S~ould be considered, RuShing to build will cause the quality to be disastrous, will not have wel~ thought 0ut deVeIopme~ts Mr. 9alY sQggest ~sing iocaI ~eOp!e ~0 work On this'~Pr0b!em, do not ~eed outside help. Mr. Whitaker questioned Mr. Daly on what he felt his property would be worth when the skiers are limited on the mountain. Mr. Daly stated be'felt the skiers woUld'take care. of themselves. When the lift lines get too long, they will go somewhere else. stated at the time ef the November eIection, candidates Stated 3 main problems - parking, density and employee housing. By cutting the density in half, will raise th& Cost'of living'for §eM~ice'people. 70% of the girls ~ho work in Aspen drive up from ddwn' the Val'ley. Everyday 200'Or'300 cars coming intoAspen and taking'away parking spaces. Mr. Bob Stevens stated at the time this was first proposes, he'felt it would reduce the price of land. Now feel this will induce quality rather than quantity. Do not t~ink it will make any difference when the change is made, people will rush in to build and if they do, they will fall flat on their face. Condiminium Sales are down and there are now condomin- iums coming in for resale. Bankers in Denver are now requiring 70% down before loaning construction money or 50% of the condominiums sold before they will go on a loan. People are after the big buck and they are not going to build employee housing if the money is somewhere else. Councilman Whitaker submitted to the Council a map prepared shwing the Aspen Alps Complex of what is presently built and what Could be buz t.
