Re: Park Dedication Fee - Merson
Dear Lois:
Enclosed herewith please find a check made payable to the
City of Aspen in the amount of Three Thousand Six Hundred
Forty-Eight Dollars and Twenty-One Cents ($3648.21).
This check is in payment of the Park Dedication Fee imposed
by the City Council of Aspen when exemption from the definition
of subdivision was granted for this property on October 11,
1977.
Please note that the payment of this fee is made under protest,
as it is my opinion this fee is inappropriate and improper
in a situation such as this one.
Thank you very much.
Very truly yours,

MEMORANDUM
TO: Aspen City Council
FROM: Planning Office (KS)
RE: Merson Duplex - Subdivision Exemption
DATE: September 22, 1977
j
At their September 13th special meeting, the Aspen Planning and Zoning
Commission recommended approval of the subdivision exemption request
application of Alan Merson. The application proposes to divide an
existing duplex at the corner of Cemetary Lane and A1ta Vista Drive
(Lot 9, Filing 1 of the West Aspen Subdivision) by tenants in common
agreement. Built in 1976, the duplex is located on a 15,000 square
foot lot in an R-15 zone district and therefore complies with the
minimum lot size of the district,
(
I
The Planning and Zoning Commission conditioned their recommendation on:
1. A minimum six month lease restriction.
2. A 90 day right of first refusal to existing tenants.
3. Payment of the appropriate park dedication fee.
4. City Engineering approval,
By memo dated September 16, 1977, the City Engineer has certified con-
formance with subdivision design standards, Therefore, no purpose would
be served by the full subdivision review procedure.

Re: Park Dedication Fee
Merson Duplex
Dear Mick:
The purpose of this letter is to ask you to approve the
following park dedication fee to be paid under protest
by Alan and Marion Merson, as required in order to obtain
approval for their request to be exempted from the definition
of subdivision.
According to my calculations the Mersons should be required to
pay a fee of $3,647.2L. This is based upon an application of
that formula found in ~7-143 of the Aspen city code to a
, duplex, each side of which contains three (3) bedrooms, with
~~~the current market value of the unimproved property equal to
~~ $70BOOO, a value given to me by James Mollica, reduced by ad
~1""!'f~ val l."'" taxes paid on the property in the amount of $261.02.
i~~ I would appreciate it if you would see if this fee meets with
1 your approval as we are scheduled to go before the city council
for subdivision exemption on the 26th day of September, 1977.
Please contact me if you have any questions. Thank you very
much.
Very truly yours,

~OIVISION EXEMPTION - Herson Duplex *
ren Smith, planning department, told Council this request involves an existing duplex.
is was tabled from the last meeting because the attorney wanted to investigate if the
rk dedication fee had already been satisfied by the donation of land. They have not
~n able to find any substantiation to that effect. l1s. Smith told Council they are
king for approval with the payment of the park dedication fcc, 90 day first right of
fusal, and a six month lease restriction. Brooke Peterson said regarding the 90 day
rst right of refusal, there are no tenants, they are owners, and they are willing to
:ept the conditions.
~ncilwoman Johnston moved to approve the exemption from subdivision with the conditions
the payment of the park dedication fee, 90 day right of first refusal and six month
~imum lease; seconded by Councilman Wishart. All in favor, motion carried.
) GRANDE SPA,
in Stanford, planning office, told Council that SPA's ar~~dopted by ordinance and
~sented Ordinance *54 for consideration. The plan presented resulted from a study
;sioo and includes (1) area dedicated to greenway area adjacent to the river, (2) SPA
;ludes a recreational park with a future building zone, (3) SPA with a fraternal lodge
ich is involved in the Andre's trade.
lncilwoman Johnston said she assumed that the recreation could in time be passive
:reation. Councilman Hershey asked why the right-of-way road from Spring street did
: go through. Planner Bill Kane told Council that a 60 foot right-of- wey was needed
:h 24 feet of paving, drainage system, etc., and there is not enough room without cutting
: the ball field. z(ane said there was nothing to prevent building a road in the future.
le explained that the playing field is B feet above grade, a berm is needed, and there
a 3 to 1 slope.
Incilman Hershey moved to read Ordinance #54, Series of 1977; seconded by Councilman
;hart. All in favor, motion carried.

AN ORDINANCE REZONING THE APPROXIIlATELY 11. 50 ACRES OF LAND OWNED BY
THE CITY OF ASPEN A.'W KNOWN AS THE "RIO GRANDE" PROPERTY, ACCORDING
TO AN APPROVED SPECIALLY PLANNED AREA ~~STER PLAN FOR THE SITE, THE
ELEMENTS OF WrlICH ~~STER PLAN WILL CONSTITUTE THE DEVELOP lENT REGU-
LATIONS FOR THE AREA ALL AS PROVIDED BY ARTICLE VII OF CHAPTER 24 OF
: THE ASPEN MUNICIPAL CODE was read by the city clerk
Incilwoman Johnston moved to adopt Ordinance #54, Series of 1977, on first reading;
:onded by Councilman Wishart.
mcilman Parry said he did not think this should be planned without putting a street in
~re. Councilman Parry said he hated to see the street closed off. Councilman Parry
~d if a road would be open to the parking lot. Kane said that access to Aspen One
a legal concept and a pencil concept to the parking lot. Councilman Hershey said he
dd not go along with this concept if there was no road at all. Councilman Parry
.nted out the closure of the street would create traffic on r1ill for people that live
that end of town.
le told Council that the City spent 1.75 million dollars for this piece of property.
there is to be a road there, that's all there will be, a road and a parking lot. The
mcil wants something other than just a parking lot. Mayor Standley pointed out that
the City built a road there, it would have to meet the same standards set for everyone.
!e said if this is adopted, it will enable the City to subdivide and trade land with
.re ~lrych. Councilman Hershey said he support a road being built through the property.

TLE A~NIE SKI AREA - Joint Review Process
or Standley said this is a request to ask the City to enter into the joint review
cess for Little Annie. Mayor Standley removed himself from the discussion; Councilman
.shey removed himself also as he might have an interest in the matter as a law firm.
Dcilman Parry was appointed to run the meeting.
~ Garfield, representing the proposed Little Annie Ski Area, was asking Council to join
the joint review process to study the area to find out whether it has any merit as a
area. This is not asking for approval, just asking to get the process going. The
nt process is a Method of studying the ski area. Prior to this time there has been no
rdination of governmental entities, which are 25 state agencies, Forest Service, and
a1 governmental authorities. There will be a committee formed with representatives
each governmental agency. The planning office submitted a memorandum, which brings
Council up-to-date on this project. On September 19, Pitkin County agreed to go into
, joint review process, and also agreed to act as the lead agency. The Forest Service
also agreed to enter the process.

SUBDIVISION EXEIlPTION - Merson Duplex *'
John Stanford, planning office, told Council this is a request for exemption from subdivi-
sion for an existing duplex located on Snowbunny lane. The P & Z has reviewed this and
given their approval with the four conditions identified in a memorandum to Council.
Brooke Peterson addressed the payment of the park dedication fee. Peterson said this is
an existing subdivision and the park dedication fee in this instance is not proper at ther,
is no increased use of City facilities being created. Councilwoman Johnston asked if the
dedication fee was paid at the time this was subdivided. Peterson answered no. Council-
woman Johnston pointed out the City Code said it has to be paid. Peterson said at the
time this was subdivided land was dedicated for parks for the West Aspen subdivision.
City Attorney Nuttall said that may make some difference and is worth looking into.
Councilman Hershey moved to table this item until the dedication is resolved; seconded
by Councilwoman Johnston. All in favor, motion carried.
FINAL SUBDIVISION APPROVAL - GignDux/Lynch
Stanford told Council this subdivision is for the creation of two lots of property behind
the Concept 600 building. There is an existing building on one of the lots, and there is
proposed to be a Sears building on the second lot. The P & Z gave a use determination
for a Sears store in that location. Pat Lynch told Council there is presently a very
old house on the lot, and the person living in the house plans to try to move the house.
Stanford told Council there were a number of problems but these have been worked out to
the satisfaction of the planning office and engineering department. The applicant is
urging that the park dedication fee be paid only on th newly created lot. Councilman
Parry asked if the project had employee housing, and if not, why is the City collecting
a park dedication fee. Stanford answered the Code required in non-residential areas a
6 per ~ent land value fee. Councilman Behrendt asked what the guarantees were that the
landscaping that is proposed will actually be done. Albie Kern told Council there is a
subdivision agreement with the City. Mayor Standley asked if the alley had been vacated
by the City. Kern said he had had a title company to a very thorough search. When Hs.
Gignoux bought the property, she received a deed to one-half of the alley. The City gave
a Mayor's deed. The title company found no proof of any vacation of the alley. Kern
stated as far as he was concerned that is a City alley. Mayor Standley directed Hahoney to
open up that alley.
Councilwoman Johnston asked the size of the lots. Stanford answered lot I is 10,890 squarv
feet; lot 2 is 12,863 square feet. Councilwoman Johnston read from the Municipal Code
concerning payment of the park dedication fee. Ms. Nuttall said she did not think the
City could charge for lot 1, which will not be developed. Kern said they were granting a
perpetual easement on the property for 10 feet from Pat Lynch to the City. Kern explained
that Bleeker street is shown as 60 feet wide all the way through. In fact, Blecker street
is not 60 feet wide; it narrows down as a result of many Mayor's deeds given out to adjdc-
ent land owners. The City is taking 10 feet from lot 1. City Engineer Ellis told Council
that every utility but Mountain Bell was prepared to underground down there.
Councilman Behrendt moved to approve the subdivision subject to escrow or performance bond
I to the City l-tanagcr for landscaping and completing thZlt plan; subject to norm.:ll encroach-
I. ment provisions and agreement concerning the metal building on lot 2, and SUbject to the
" seven points identified by Dave Ellis in his memorandum of September 22; and subject to till'
pllyment of the park dedication fee on lot 1 only at this time and it is not to be accepted
as a waiver for the rest of the lots if they are to be further developed; seconded by

RE: Merson Duplex - Subdivision Exemption
DATE: September 22, 1977
At their September 13th special meeting, the Aspen Planning and Zoning
Commission recommended approval of the subdivision exemption request
application of Alan Merson. The application proposes to divide an
existing duplex at the corner of Cemetary Lane and Alta Vista Drive
(Lot 9, Filing 1 of the West Aspen Subdivision) by tenants in common
agreement. Built in 1976, the duplex is located on a 15,000 square
foot lot in an R-15 zone district and therefore complies with the
minimum lot size of the district.
The Planning and Zoning Commission conditioned their recommendation on:
1. A minimum six month lease restriction.
2. A 90 day right of first refusal to existing tenants,
3. Payment of the appropriate park dedication fee,
4. City Engineering approval,
By memo dated September 16, 1977, the City Engineer has certified con-
formance with subdivision design standards, Therefore, no purpose would
be served by the full subdivision review procedure.

RE: Merson Duplex Condominiumization - Subdivision Exemption Request
DATE: September 2, 1977
This application proposes to divide a one and one-half story duplex
located at the corner of Cemetary Lane and A1ta Vista Drive; more
specifically on Lot 9, Filing 1 of the West Aspen Subdivision, Zoning
is R-15 which allows a duplex on 15,000 square feet for previously
subdivided lots. The duplex was built in 1976 by Alan Merson who
now wishes to divide the property through a tenants in common agreement,
Unless we hear differently from the City Engineer, we recommend approval
of the subdivision exemption inasmuch as the improvements meet the
current subdivision design standards. Therefore, no purpose is served
by the full subdivision review.
In accordance with Council policy regarding housing impact, we recom-
mend approval be conditioned on:
1, A minimum six month lease restriction,
2, A 90 day exclusive non-assignable right of first refusal
to the existing tenant to purchase the unit at current
fair market value,
An additional condition should be payment of the appropriate park dedi-
cation fee,

APPLICATION FOR EXEMPTION
Pursuant to Section 20-19 of Chapter 20 of the Municipal
Code of the City of Aspen, ALAN MERSON and MARION MERSON, hereby
apply for an exemption from the definition of the term "Sub-
division" with respect to the real property described as:
LOT 9, of West Aspen
Subdivision, Filing No.1,
City and Townsite of Aspen,
Pitkin County, Colorado.
The applicant submits that the exemption in this case would be
appropriate.
The application involves subdivision of an existing
duplex. The owners of the property will be tenants-in-common
and there will be a declaration of restrictions applicable to
the property and does not in any way increase the land use im-
pact of that property. The applicant submits that such an exemp-
tion in the instant case would not conflict with the intent and
purpose of the subdivision regulations which are directed to
assist, among other things, orderly, efficient and integrated
development of the City of Aspen; to insure the proper distri-
bution of population; to coordinate the need for public services;
and to encourage well planned subdivision. They are directed to
considerations of subdivision design and improvements and to rest-
rict such building where it is inappropriate after considering
its land use impact.
In the present application those decisions cannot be
made as the building exists, and the density would not effect
the prevailing contemplated or desired population density on
this property.
We would greatly appreciate your consideration of this
matter at your next regular meeting.
