Mr. Ted Hularz
Theodore L. Mularz and Associates
0019 Pacific Avenue
Aspen, CO 81611
Dear Ted:
This letter is to confirm the verification of your credit to construct a commercial
building on Lots 0 and P of Block 94 in Aspen (Hyman Avenue between Galena and
Hunter). Based on the P&Z and Council review of the Pitkin Center Building on lots
P and Q in 1981, prior to its demolition, and the subsequent lot split review in
1982 to allocate credits to the individual lots, following is what you may-rebuild
by right:
Lot 0 - 2533.40 S F. (upon demolition of Cheap Shots)
Lot P - 2758.25 S. F. (from prior demolition)
Total 5291.65 S.F.
During the review prior to demolition, it was established that two housing units
falling within our affordability guidelines existed on the site. It is my dete,mination
that this project is responsible for replacing one of those units. If this housing
unit is not replaced during the reconstruction process, it will be counted as a
debit against any commercial GMP application which may be submitted for Lots 0 and P
in the future. For the record, the other unit is the responsibility of any develop-
ment which takes place on Lot Q, which I show as having a commercial credit of
1997.35 square feet.
Please let me know if you need further information in this regard.
Sincerely,
0~

SUBDIVISION EXCEPTION - Chapman Condominiums
Alan Richman told Council these units are already built and the plat must be recorded as
built so that all changes that were made after construction are reflected on the plat.
Mayor Edel said he does not understand why this has to be on the council agenda.
Councilwoman Michael moved to grant subdivision exception to the Chapman condominiums
subject to the following conditions; (1) the applicants should be required to join an
improvements district in the event one is formed; (2) prior to recordation, the plat
should be amended to show the following; (a) indicate on-site parking spaces at one per
bedroom; (b) utility sources and meter locations; (c) show the fence around unit 2; (d)
location of the irrigation ditch along the westerly property line; (e) the wording of
the surveyor's certifcate is somewhat unclear and should iridicate that the work was doen
by the surveyor; seconded by Councilman Parry. All in favor, motion carried.
SUBDIVISION EXCEPTION - Pitkin Center
Alice Davis, planning office, told Council there must be planning office review if the
applicant wants to transfer development rights between the lots. Each of the four lots
has a development right and can be subdivided.
Councilman Collins moved to approve the request for subdivision exception for the purpose
of dividing lots 0, P, Q, and lots Rand S, Block 94, Aspen Original Townsite, into
four parcels. Approval is subject to the three conditions listed in the planning office
memeorandurn dated December 27, 1982; seconded by Councilman Parry. All in favor, motion
carried.
SUBDIVISION EXCEPTION - Mountain River Manor
Alice Davis told Council this is a request for subidivision exception to amend the plat
and recondominiumizing Mountain River Manor studio units. To some of the units in this
building, a loft was added. Council needs to make the determination that adding the
lofts does not change the studio unit. Ms. Davis said if Council considers these one
bedroom u~its, they would need 1,000 square feet. These units are 330 square feet. The
lofts were built without the proper approvals or permits; however, they have been fined.
Gideon Kaufman said the applicant would like permission to amend the plat to show that
these lofts exist. P & Z unanimously recommended this. Ms. Davis said the lofts make
the units more habitable.
Councilman Knecht moved to approve the subidivision exception for the Mountain River Manor
to allow the addition of sleeping areas to 8 of the 16 studio units and to allow the
necessary changes to the original plat. Approval is subject to the following conditions;
(1) plat must be titiled "amended plat"; (2) changes in the plat must be clearly indicated
and a statement that the remaining sheets of the original plat remain in effect; (3)
signature blocks for approving authorities and engineering department as well as the clerk
and recorder's acceptance cer.tificate must be added to the plat; seconded by Councilman
Parry. All in favor, motion carried.
REVENUE SOURCES FOR JOINT HOUSING AUTHORITY
Mayor Edel said on all suggested sources of funding, who is really going to pay for this.
Mayor Edel said it looks like the employee will end up paying for this. Ron Mitchell
said the employee housing certfication fee will add about $4.00 per month per unit.
Councilman Knecht said he would rather see the city pay the $51,920 to fund the housing
authority than to add onto any employee costs. Mitchell said that cost only covers the
operations; it will not give the department money to do anything like buying land.
Assistant city Attorney Esary said there is a benefit to the employee, like better
enforcement of the policies on the books. Mayor Edel said he felt the city made a major
mistake in go~ng into this. Councilwoman Michael said she was not adverse to the funding
sources #3 and 4.
Councilman Knecht moved that if staff recommends going to four suggested fees so that
the housing office has an on-going revenue, the Council should go that way; seconded by
Councilman Parry. Councilmembers Collins, Knecht and Parry in favor, Councilwoman
Michael and Mayor Edel opposed. Motion carried. Councilman Parry left Chambers.

Councilwoman Michael agreed but asked that the planning office explore a broader thing
than just sOlving the Koval house; that the planning office come back with a recommendation
on whether bed and breakfast use ought to go through the growth management plan. Sunny
Vann, planning director, told Council the planning office is addressing the broader issue
including non-conforming lodges, reviewing the growth management plan, what to do with
lodging in general and this neighborhood specifically. Councilman Collins asked that the
planning office go ahead with the recommendation and corne back to Council with specifics.
Mayor Edel said he is all for the proposition; Councilmembers Parry, Michael and Knecht
all agreed. Planning Office told Council they will come back with a specific plan.
ORDINANCE #79, SERIES OF 1981 - Housing Price Guidelines
Sunny Vann, planning director, told Council this ordinance is moving in the direction of
providing affordable housing. Vann said there is a problem with projects previously
approved and switching over to these guidelines. There are changes which may satisfy
this concern. For projects approved after this date, Vann said they would like this
concept to apply. This ordinance addresses who may qualify for the units.
Gideon Kaufman said he has clients who have done projects based upon the anticipated
increases in the guidelines that have traditionally been given. Kaufman pointed out that
increases are based on increase in operating costs. This really only applies to larger
project; duplexes or triplexes really don't have those kind of increases. People who
had receiv~d prior allocations planned their projects on expected increases. Vann agreed
with this. Vann said this ordinance is a major transition in concept. In the past,
the rental rates have gone up approximately 8 per cent per year. Council could adopt that
approach for previously approved projects. Council could adopt the approach that rental
rates for previously approved projects could go up commensurate with increases in salaries.
Vann said the planning office with come up with several alternatives to address this and
let Council decide between them.
Mayor Edel opened the public hearing and continued it to December. Councilwoman Michael
moved to table Ordinance #79, Series of 1981: seconded by Councilman Parry. All in favor
motion carried.
ORDINANCE #80, SERIES OF 1981
n
u
Alan Richman, planning office, reminded Council they had adopted a three month moratorium
on construction in the R/MF zone. district which expires November 30th. There is a special
meeting with P & Z tomorrow to discuss the entire residential area and bulk requirements,
not just R/MF. The planning office intends to have P & Z pass a resolution, which once
it is passed,has the effect of suspending all building permits for a period of one year.
During this time, the Council will then address the Code amendment. There is a public
hearing scheduled for December 8 to address this. Richman said the staff feels there
may be some exposure if this moratorium in not in effect. This ordinance extends the
moratorium for one month. It is an emergency ordinance to go into effect immediately.
Councilwoman Michael moved to read Ordinance #80, Series of 1981: seconded by Councilman
Collins. All in favor, motion carried.
ORDINANCE #80
(Series of 1981)
AN ORDINANCE EXTENDING THE TEMPORARY MORATROIUM ON THE CONSTRUCTION AND/OR
EXPANSION OF ALL BUILDINGS WITHIN THE R/MF ZONE DISTRICT WITHIN THE CITY OF
ASPEN, COLORADO, AND DECLARING THAT AN EMERGENCY EXISTS REQUIRING IMMEDIATE
ENACTMENT was read by the city clerk
Councilwoman Michael moved to adopt Ordinance #80, Series of 1981, on first reading;
seconded by.Councilman Knecht. Roll call vote; Councilmernbers Knecht, aye; Collins, aye:
Parry, aye; Michael, aye: Mayor Edel, aye. Motion carried.
WEST SIDE IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION - Residential Bonus Overlay District
Alan Richman told Council the area and bulk requirements under consideration are not only
for the R/MF district but for all residential zones. Richman encouraged the people
concerned to corne to the P & Z meeting and the public hearing on this. The only downside
is that someone wishing to build in a district other than R/MF. Taddune told Council as
soon as P & Z passes a resolution addressing the area and bulk requirements in all the
residential zones, it acts like a moratorium.

PITKIN COUNTY BANK EXEMPTION
rl
il
'J
Alice Davis, planning office, told Council this is a request for verification for an
exception from the GMP process for the Pitkin County Bank. The bank is in the commercial
core and is located on about 15,000 square feet. The applicant is proposing to demolish
a portion of the Pitkin Center and not immediately reconstruct. The plan is to demolish
5700 square feet and delay the reconstruction three to five years. The site of the
demolition will be a parking lot and drive~up window in the interim, which is permitted
in the zone district. There are plans to demolish another 2476 square feet in the future;
the reconstruction for that will also be delayed. Ms. Davis pointed out the city attorney
feels guidelines should be established for demolition like this. These guidelines should
provide an inventory of what space will be reconstructed in the future.
Ms. Davis pointed out typically demolition and reconstruction is handled on a staff level
review. However, this applicant is going to demolish 5700 and 2476 square feet and dely
reconstr~ction for three to five years and wanted to go on record for this. The applicant
plans to~ear down two residential units consisting of 887 square feet and 4813 square feet
of commercial space, totaling 5700 square feet. The applicant also plans to tear down
2476 square feet of commercial space for a total of 8176 square feet. The two residential
units do fall under employee housing guidelines. This residential square footage cannot
be used to expand commercial space.

City Attorney Taddune said the applicant applied to the Board of Adjustment for expansion
of a non-conforming use and to build in the setback. The Board granted the variance for
the non-conforming use but not to build in the setback. The Board thought the applicant
could request the city to vacate the alley shared by poppie's and the forest service.
Council made the determination not to vacate. Taddune told council the Board of Adjustment
wanted an indicate from council that there was no concern on the city's part in terms of '
exceeding the setback and affecting the alley. The applicant has submitted an encroachment
license to serve as an indication that Council has no problem with the expansion into the :i
alley. Council wanted to accommodate the request to vacate the alley but required fair "
market payment for this. It would be impossible to work this out with the forest service.;1

15,050 square feet
The applicant is requesting verification that if a portion of
the Pitkin Center is demolished, the quantity of square footage
not immediately rebuilt will again be available for development
without competing under the GMP process. The applicant plans
to demolish 5,700 square feet in the spring of 1982 and delay
part of the reconstruction three to five years. The space will
be used in the interim as a parking lot and drive-in facility
for the bank, both permitted uses in the zone district. The
applicant also plans to demolish 2,476 square feet in three to
five years and possibly delay part of that reconstruction.
The City Attorney suggested that administrative guidelines
be established for property owners who demolish existing
structures on a parcel and delay reconstruction on that
property. These guidelines would govern such reconstruction
and provide a means of maintaining an accurate inventory of
such space in order to anticipate future reconstruction and
development.
Consistent with Sections 24-3.5 and 24-3.7(h)(4) of the Code,
the engineering office commented that the owner should be
required to include a utility/trash area as part of recon-
struction as well as be responsible for the relocation of
all existing or proposed utility meters, pedestals, vaults
and transformers in the protected trash/utility area.
Typically, the demolition and reconstruction of dwelling units
and commercial space outside of the GMP has proceeded as a
staff-level review. However, this applicant felt that it was
important that this item be placed on the public record in
that the bank does not plan to immediately rebuild the entire
5,700 square feet which is to be demolished in the spring of 1982
and may not immediately rebuild the entire 2,476 square feet to
be demolished in three to five years.
The exception being used is under Section 24-11.2(a) of the Code
which allows exception from GMP competition for the remodeling,
restoration or reconstruction of any existing building provided
there is no expansion of commercial floor area nor the creation
of additional residential units. This has normally been inter-
preted to allow reconstruction consistent with the underlying
zoning and area and bulk requirements of the zone district. The
review of this application is deemed necessary by the Planning
Office since (1) the reconstruction will be delayed until some
time in the future and (2) this type of activity needs to be
regulated through administrative guidelines.
The most important review for the applicant is the inventory of
existing square footage which is to be demolished. The building
to be demolished in the spring of 1982 consists of two residential
units of 887 total square feet and 4,813 square feet of commercial

space for a total of 5,700 square feet. The commercial space
to be demolished includes Chip Chip Hooray, Gracies, Erickson/
Fuller Advertising, Gabe's Ski Service and Ann Wolff Stain
Glass Studio. The applicant may also demolish an additional
2,476 square feet of commercial space (Cheap Shots) in three
to five years. Thus, the applicant proposes the demolition
of 8,176 total square feet.
The two residential units fall within the housing price guide-
lines of Resolution 18, series of 1980, as they have been
leased for $.58 and $.61 per square foot during the past 18
months. If the applicant competes for additional space in
the GMP process, to be competitive these units will need to be
replaced in addition to those employee units normally required.
Also, this residential square footage cannot be used for the
redevelopment of additional commercial space. This results
from Section 24-11.2(a) which states that reconstruction can
only be exempted from the GMP process if no expansion of
commercial floor area is made.
The Planning Office concurs with the City Attorney that it is
appropriate for administrative guidelines to be established
regarding reconstruction exceptions. We recommend that these
guidelines encompass the following restraints:
1. A property owner involved in a demolition that occurred
before the enactment of the GMP should not be allowed
to reconstruct that building. This will prevent demoli-
tions that occurred long ago from obtaining exception
from GMP competition for new development.
2. A time period should be established to limit the length
of time reconstruction can be delayed. A five year
period is recommended as a reasonable time limit. A
longer period may adversely affect the plannin9 process
by preventing the anticipation of future growth and
development. A five year period will also prevent an
imbalance in the market resulting from an unforeseen
oversupply of commercial space.
-<:::::)
3. At the time of reconstruction, development plans must
be presented to the Planning Office to determine if the
structure is consistent witn the underlying zoning and
area and bulk requirement of the zone district or if
future review by the Planning and Zoning Con~ission or
City Council is necessary.
The Planning Office and the Planning and Loning Commission
recommend that the City Council approve the request for exception
,from GMP competition for the portion of commercial space in
the Pitkin Center which will be demolished,in the spring of
1982, but will not be immediately rebuilt. The delay in recon-
struction will not affect the owner's right to rebuild the
space if the following conditions are met:
1. At the time the new structure is being developed plans
must be presented to the Planning Office to determine
if the structure is consistent with the underlying zoning
and area and bulk requirement of the zone district or
if further review by the Planning and Zoning Commission
or City Council is necessary.
2. Reconstruction must occur within five years of the date
of demolition.
3. There is no expansion of the commercial floor area that
existed prior to demolition.

4. The owner provides a utility/trash area with all existing
and proposed utility meters, pedestals, vaults and trans"
formers in this area at the time of reconstruction.
Council Action: Should the City Council agree with the Planning Office and the
Planning and Zoning Commission recommendation, the appropriate
motion is as follows:
"I move to grant an exception from the GMP process for the
portion of commercial space in the Pitkin Center which will
be demolished but will not be immediately rebuilt (Lots 0,
P, Q, R, S, Block 94, Original Aspen Townsite). The
delay in reconstruction will not affect the owner's right
to rebuild the space if the following conditions are met:
1. At the time the new structure is being developed plans
must be presented to the Planning Office to determine
if the structure is consistent with the underlying
zoning and area and bulk requirement of the zone
district or if further review by the Planning and
Zoning Commission or City Council is necessary.
2. Reconstruction must occur within five years of the
date of demolition.
3. There is no expansion of the commercial floor area that
existed prior to demolition (7,289 square feet) and no
more than the two original residential units can be
rebuilt.
4. The owner provides a utility/trash area with all
existing and proposed utility meters, pedestals,

Dear Alan:
This is in response to your letter of October 5,
1981, to Ted Mu1arz regarding the future Pitkin County
Bank extension project.
1. It is contemplated that a portion of the
existing structures, containing approximately 5,700
square feet, will be demolished in the Spring of 1982.
Such structures will be replaced during 1982 with drive-
in banking facilities and parking for approximately 11
cars.
The remainder of the building, containing
approximately 2,476 square feet, will be demolished with-
in 3 to 5 years. At that time, a new building will be
constructed to house additional banking facilities. It
is expected that such structure will contain the remainder
of the verified commercial square footage not previously
utilized. It is likewise possible that additional G.M.P.
allocation will be applied for at that time.
2. Ted Mularz has surveyed the existing improvements
on the property and will submit a detailed analysis of
such space as requested. Please be advised that neither
of the residential units involved have been rented during
the previous 18 months within adopted City of Aspen
employee housing guidelines.

Dear Ted, '
Thi s letter is our promi sed fo 11 ow.. up to the meeti n9 that Sunny,
Paul and I had with you, [lill Clark and Chuck Brandt, on October 2.
It would seem that we were in basic agreemen' that the best approach
to reso 1 uti on of the ques ti on of demo l'i t ion ::d eventual cons tructi on
of commercial space outside of GtlP competit';on is to verify the action
before P & Z and City Council. The key issues we identified which
should be addressed as part of your application include the following:
1. Please suggest the approximate time frame for the proposed
actions, including the anticipated dates of demolition and
reconstruction.
2. A precise inventory should be provided of the existing square
footage which is to be demolished, including the commercial
space, the residential space (number of units, size of each
unit and whether or not during the previous 13 months any
uni t has rented withi n adopted City of Aspen emp'l oyee hous i ng
guidelines) and other support space such as parking.
3. It would help if you would suggest precisely what you plan
to do with the land during the period between demolition and
eventual construction.
At this point in time, for your purposes, I do not think it is
particularly important ~lhether we process you under an existing exception
to the Gt'lP or if you are the mechani sm by wh'j eh we create a new review
process. In either case, the review would be'conducted under Section
24-11.2 of the code whereby P & Z recommends to Council that an action
be taken; that is, simply a two-step process. Looking at our agenda
dates at the present time, I would be very uncomfortable with placing
you on the agenda for October 20, since it is only two weeks away and
our case load ass i gnments have already been made. A Ilovember 3 date
would probab'ly be more appropriate, although if you can get us an
application back by the end of this week, we will see what we can do.
Pl ease address yourselves to the typi ca 1 Subdi vi s ion Excepti onjConceptua 1
level of revie~1 as regards submission requirenents and application fees.
