MEMORANDUM
TO: GMP Files
FROM: Alan Richman
RE: Lodge and Commercial Quota Status
DATE: July 21, 1981 (updated on September 1, 1981)
Based on my investigation of previous allocations, the following is the status
of the quota available for competition on September 1, 1981.
Office and Commercial
1. There have been five previous competitions with 24,000 square feet availa-
ble each year, for a total of 120,000 square feet. Last year 6,000 addi-
tional square feet were made available as a bonus.
2. Of the 126,000 total square feet available, 108,063 square feet have been
awarded. However, 2,184 square feet which have been allocated have expired.
As a result, the total amount of space which has either been unallocated
or has expired is 20,121 square feet.*
3. The maximum square footage available for competition this year is 24,000
+ 20,121 + 6,000 (potential bonus) or 50,121 square feet.
4. Among the projects which received allocations, only two are in danger of
having their quota expire. The Smith Building (5,100 square feet) and the
First National Bank Addition (4,203 square feet) both submitted applications
on September 1, 1979. These allocations will expire on September 1, 1981,
unless the applicant submits plans to the Building Department sufficient
for the issuance of a permit. Conversations with each applicant indicate
that the former probably will submit the plans but that the latter appli-
cant will not make a submission and will let the allocation lapse.*
Note: On September 1, 1981, the First National Bank Addition did let its
allocation expire, while the Smith Building did submit plans suffi-
cient for the issuance of a building permit. Therefore, of the
108,063 square feet which have been awarded in the past, 6,387
square feet have expired, resulting in a total of 24,324 square
feet which have expired or are unallocated.
*
Lodge
1. In the five years since the lodge competition was initiated, 18 units have
been available each year for a total of 90 lodge units. During the first
competition Council awarded 60 units to the Aspen Inn (36 tourist and
24 employee) and 16 units to the Mountain Chalet (8 tourist and 8 employee).
2. The allocation to the Mountain Chalet has expired. The 60 units for the
Aspen Inn totally used the quota for the first three years of competition
as well as 6 units from the fourth year of competition. This means that
12 units were left over from the fourth year and 18 were left over from
last year for a total of 30 units which are unallocated or expired from
previ ous years.
3. The maximum number of lodge units available for competition this year is
18 + 30 + 6 (potential bonus) or 54 units.

Re: Lodge GMP Quota Status
Dear Alan:
As you know, it is our position that the lodge quota for
1982 should be 72 units, excluding any potential bonus. Consequently
I must object to the position you are taking as indicated in your
memo of July 21, 1981, that the maximum number of lodge units avail-
able for competition this year is 48 plus a potential bonus of 6 for
a total of 54 units.
The difference between our respective positions relates
to the 24 employee units alloted to the Aspen Inn pursuant to Resolut-
ion No. 11, Series of 1978. Our position is that employee units are
now, and should always have been, exempt from the allotment procedures
as well as the allotments themselves. The fact that the ordinances
confirming the exemptions had not been adopted prior to the aforesaid
Resolution No. 11, should not preclude your carrying out the intent
and purpose evidenced by those ordinances. Those ordinances which were
codified into sections 24-ll.2(g) (h) and 24-11.10 were not adopted to
create new exemptions. Rather, they were adopted to remedy a technical
defect in the original legislation.
Even assuming, for argument sake, that this was not the case,
that is that the exemptions were in fact newly created, it cannot be
denied that the deductions should have been made against residential
quota rather than lodge quota. This should be obvious, since employee
housing units were dwelling units which are residential in nature and
cannot by any stretch of the imagination be considered lodge units.
Therefore, to deduct them from the lodge quota would be like deducting
apples from oranges. Moreover, given that there are only eighteen
lodge units available per year, it is not inconceivable that through
the application of the 70/30 bonus and R.B.O. most of the lodge quota
could actually be used up by employee housing.
This latter point is substantiated by examining the language
of !i24-ll.l0. "Low, moderate and middle income housing units approved
under the provisions of !i24-ll. 4 (b) (3) shall be allowed in addition
o
:>
GARFIELD & HECHT
to those housing units authorized by !i24-ll.l(a) above." Section
24-ll.l(a) provides "Within all zone districts, thirty nine (39)
residential dwelling units." Thus, if the intention were to deduct
employee housing units from each of the respective districts, should
not the exemption then also be applicable to all zone districts. The
fact aht the exemption only applies to the residential clearly indicates
that the deduction was intended to be only against the residential.
In conclusion, I would strongly urge you to reconsider your
position. I think we all recognize that a mistake was made in Resolut-
ion No. 11 of 1978 and we should take this opportunity to correct it.
After all, what we would be doing would be merely restoring the lodge
quota to its correct status.
I would like to discuss this further with you at your con-
venience but would request that if you are not willing to reconsider
your position that the subject be placed on the next available City
Council agenda for their consideration prior to the processing of the
1982 lodge applications. Thank you for your cooperation.
Very truly yours,
SFS/pp

Re: 1982 Lodge GMP Quota
Dear Council Members:
The Planning Department has taken the position that the
available lodge quota for 1982 is 48 units plus a potential
bonus of 6 for a total of 54 units. In response to a memo
from the Planning Department in support of that position I
submitted a letter dated August 20, 1981 contesting that
position, a copy of which is attached hereto.
At the request of the Planning DepartQent we have not
yet made our position known to you or the P & Z with the under-
standing that this is the appropriate time for such consideration.
Consequently, the P & Z recommendation to ,you for 54 units is
made without any consideration of our position.
Simply stated, we believe that the 24 employee housing
units alloted to the Aspen Inn pursuant to Resolution No. 11,
Series of 1978 should not have been deducted from the lodge quota.
Our reasons are as follows:
1. Employee housing units are exempt from the GriP. Those
exemptions are contained in Sections 24-l1.2(g) and (h) and
24-11.10. We believe that an error was made in not excluding
those 24 units from the quota in 1978. The mere fact that those
ordinances were adopted after Resolution No. 11, Series of 1978
should not preclude correction of the error now. Rather, those
ordinances serve to verify the existence of the error. To
acknowledge an error, correct it prospectively by legislation,
and yet refuse to correct a specific application which itself led
to the corrective legislation, flies in the face of the con-
stitutional requirement for "equal protection", and is nothing
less than hypocritical.
2. Even if employee housing units were not exempt from the
GMP, they should not have been deducted from the lodge quota.
/""'"
"
.....",....-
GARFIELD & HECHT
Employee housing units are residential dwelling units. They
are not lodge units. If any deduction should have been made
it should have been from the residential quota. The Code
clearly recognizes this. Section 24-11.10 states:
"Low, moderate and middle income housing
units approved under the provisions of
Section 24-l1.4(b) (3) should be allO'.,;ed
in addition to those housing units auth-
orized by Section 24-ll.l(a) above.
(Emphasis added)
Section 24-ll.l(a) is the residential allotment, stating:
"Within all zone districts, thirty-nine
(39) residential dwelling units."
Section 24-ll.l(b) is the lodge allotment and 24-ll.l(c) is
the commercial allotment.
If employee housing units were intended to be deducted
from lodge and con~erical quota as well as residential quota,
why then is the remedial legislation directed only to the
residential quota? The answer obviously indicates that they
were never intended to be deducted from any quotas other than
residential.
Thus, we feel it was a mistake to have decucted the 24
employee housing units from the lodge quota. If any deduction
should have been made, it should have been froQ the residential
quota. It is now recognized that employee housing units should
not be deducted from any quota, and the mistake has been corrected
prospectively by legislation. We submit that it is obligatory
to now correct an obvious mistake in application which you have
the power and authority to do. You will not be increasing
the quota. All you would be doing would be restoring it to
its correct status.

FROM: Rcr Stoc~
RE: 1981 Lodge Allocations
I have reviewed the history of lodge allocations to determine the
number which will be available September 1, 1980. I have deter-
mined that there will be 30 lodge unit allocations available.
In 1978, the City awarded 76 lodge unit allocations, 60 to the
Aspen Inn and 16 to the Mountain Chalet. The City thus awarded
all of the allocations for the years 1977, 1978, 1979 and 1980
together with 4 of the 18 allocations available for 1981.
Therefore, we anticipated the availability of 14 allocations in
September. However, the Mountain Chalet failed to submit plans as
required by Sec. 24-10.7 of the Municipal Code of the City. By
the terms of this section their 16 allocations "automatically
expire" and "shall be added to available allotments" for future
award.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Aspen City Council
FROM: Alan Richman, Assistant Planning Director
RE: 1982 Lodge and Commercial Allocations
DATE: November 17, 1981
Background
On October 6, 1981, the Aspen Planning and Zoning Commission held a public
hearing on the 1982 Lodge GMP competition. The scoring which emerged from
that process is as follows:
Aspen Inn Expansion - 51.8 points
The Lodge at Aspen - 49.2 points
Since only 35 points are needed to be eligible for a development allotment,
both projects were clearly judged as meriting such an award from City Council.
However, P & Z only recommended that an allotment be awarded to the Aspen Inn
Expansion since that project requested 96 units (which is in excess of the
quota) while The Lodge at Aspen requested 31 units, the total of which (127
units), is far in excess of the available quota. In addition, appeals have
been submitted by both applicants which question the scoring by P & Z which
you must consider.
On November 3, 1981, the Aspen Planning and Zoning Commission held a public
hearing on the 1982 Commercial GMP competition. The scoring which emerged
from that process is as follows:
A Garden Office Building - 25.8 points
The City Plaza Building - 24.0 points
The Red Onion Addition - 19.9 points
Since only 14.4 points are needed to be eligible for a development allotment,
P & Z recommended that all three projects be awarded their requested amounts.
However, since the total request of 27,521 square feet exceeds the annual quota
of 24,000 square fee4~ou must also determine whether or not to award an excess
commercial allotment this year.
Summarizing, then, there are three issues before you tonight:
1. Consideration of the appeals of the scoring of the 1982 Lodge GMP competi-
tion, as submitted by Hans Cantrup and Lyle Reeder.
2. Determination of the appropriate lodge quota which must be allocated by
City Council by resolution prior to December 1, 1981.
3. Determination of the appropriate commercial quota which must be allocated
by City Council by resolution prior to December 1, 1981.
The Planning Office hopes that we may come to a general consensus tonight as to
the method of resolving each of these issues, so that we can return to you at
your meeting on November 23, 1981 with resolutions allocating the quotas for
this year.
Lodge Scoring Appeals
Project
Description:
The two projects which applied for 1982 Lodge GMP allotments
can be briefly described as follows. The Aspen Inn Expansion
is a proposal to add two new wings to the existing Aspen Inn
(located at 701 South Mill Street) while providing the amenities
origi na lly proposed in the 1978 GMP submi ss i on (conference
center, health facility and employee rooms) and to take another

step toward the development of the major lodge complex proposed
by Hans Cantrup for the Base of Aspen Mountain. The Lodge at
Aspen is a proposal to build a small new lodge at 771 Ute
Avenue, at the corner of Original which would be the first
new lodge to be built in Aspen since prior to the implementa-
tion of the GMP.
Code
Interpretati on:
Secti on 24-11. 6 (e) sets out the method by whi ch an appea 1 of the
scoring of a Lodge GMP applicant may be heard and acted upon
by City Council. The Code reads as follows:
"Having received the commission's report, the city
council shall consider any challenges thereto by
applicants; provided, however, that no challenge
shall be heard by the council on grounds other than
matters which have not previously been considered
by the commission. Subsequent to the conclusion of
all protest hearings provided for in this section,
during whi ch the city council may amend the IlLJlilber
of points awarded to any protesting applicant, the
city council shall by resolution and prior to
December 1st of each year, allocate development
allotments among eligible applicants in the order of
priority established by their rank."
This section of the code has previously been interpreted to
indicate that City Council has delegated to P & Z the authority
to score the individual categories and criteria involved in the
GMP competition, and did not intend to become involved in
challenges where an applicant felt that a "3" was deserved for
a certain feature, while a P & Z memeber had given a "1" or a
"2". Instead, Council only wished to intervene in the process
when it could be shown that P & Z (or a member of P & Z) had
abused its discretion or had not acted within the bounds of due
process in its overall conduct of the public hearing. Therefore,
should you find that either appeal demonstrates an abuse of
discretion or absence of due process related to matters which
have not previously been considered by P & Z, then you may
amend the number of points awarded to either applicant, since
both are protesting.
Cantrup Appeal: The appeal submitted by Hans Cantrup is predicated on the concept
that various P & Z members were arbitrary in their award of
points in categories where the criteria measuring the project's
features are quite objective. The appeal states that since
these measures are objective, any scoring which is inconsistent
with the facts presented by the applicant should be considered
an abuse of discretion. The Planning Office has two basic
problems with an appeal based on this concept:
1. There is a certain amount of subjectivity inherent in any
supposedly objective criteria, no matter how hard one works
to remove that subjectivity from the analysis. The
fact that the applicant, the Planning Office and the seven
P & Z members often deviate in their supposedly objective
assessment of certain criteria indicates that absolute
objectivity cannot be expected in any scoring procedure.
2. Regardless of the issue of objectivity versus subjectivity
as it relates to an abuse of discretion, this appeal is
square ly based on matters which have previous'IY been heard
by the Planning and Zoning Commission. You have delegated
to e & Z the responsibility for scorlng sewer, storm
drainage, fire protection, roads, public transportation,
energy and tourist FAR reduction. P & Z heard the Planning

November 17, 1981
Reeder Appeal:
Alternatives
Available:
Planning Office
Recommendation:
Office present an analysis of the criteria for scoring
each of these categories, heard clarifications by the
applicant of what was being proposed as regards each
category, and each member made an individual interpreta-
tion of the degree to which each project conformed to that
measure. We do not recommend that you adjust the score
of either applicant based on the appeal of Hans Cantrup,
as the P & Z members' actions are clearly within the powers
delegated by Council to the Commission, as outlined in the
Code.
The appeal submitted by Lyle Reeder is based on quite a
different case than was made by Hans Cantrup. This appeal
examines the overall scores given by P & Z members to both
projects and finds an aberration in comparing the total
scores given by six P & Z members to those given by the
seventh member. Mr. Reeder suggests that P & Z member Al
Blomquist had prejudged the lodge competition in advance of the
hearing and was biased in his overall scoring of the projects.
The appeal provides some mathematical evidence of the deviation
between the Blomquist score and the average of the other scores,
noting that Blomquist gave the Aspen Inn 65 points, including
11 bonus points, while the other members' scores averaged 49.6
points. Only one other P & Z member gave a bonus to the Aspen
Inn and this was for 3 points. Al scored The Lodge at Aspen
42 points while the other P & Z members averaged 50.4 points.
Mr. Reeder's appeal introduces a second concept, beyond bias
and abuse of di screti on, the so-called "appearance of fairness"
doctrine. The appeal suggests that even in cases where no
obvious predisposition or bias can be documented, courts have
held that a member of a public body should be disqualified to
vote in cases where even an appearance of unfairness exists.
The appeal therefore requests that Al Blomquist's scoring be
discarded and the average of the other six members retained, on
the basis of bias, and the deprivation of the right (or the
appearance of a deprivation) to a fair and impartial hearing.
The above discussion of the two lodge appeals would suggest that
Council has only two alternatives available. These alternatives
include: (1) the disqualification of Al Blomquist's scores,
resulting in the reversal of the ranking, giving The Lodge at
Aspen a total of 50.4 as compared to 49.6 for the Aspen Inn
Expansion; or (2) leaving the scores as they previously were,
retaining the ranking of Aspen Inn Expansion having a total of
51.8 and The Lodge at Aspen having 49.2.
The Planning Office believes that there is a third alternative
available to you. The day after the scoring of the applications
occurred and before any appeals had even been contemplated, the
City Attorney suggested that we take the high and the low
scores for each application and drop these, averaging the
remaining five scores. He felt that this approach would
indicate if any unfairness existed in the scoring since it
would eliminate all of the extreme scores given by the seven
P & Z members. We did this calculation and found that this
resulted in the Aspen Inn Expansion receiving a 50.3 while
The Lodge at Aspen received a 49.9.
We believe that the above calculation demonstrates that there
was not a fundamental flaw in the original scoring which ranked
the Aspen Inn Expansion ahead of The Lodge at Aspen. We there-
fore recommend that despite the fact that both applicants have
protested the scoring by P & Z, that you not adjust either
score and maintain the original ranking of the two projects
as follows:
1. Aspen Inn Expansion - 51.8 points
2. The Lodge at Aspen - 49.2 points

Lodge Quota Determination
The determination of the lodge quota available for allotment
thi s year is typi ca lly not an issue for you to decide since
the code, in Sections 24-11.8, 24-11.6(e) and 24-11.7(a))
provides a methodology for reporting on past construction,
carrying over unallocated or rescinded allotments and setting
the yearly quota. On the basis of these code sections, we
provided a memo to the applicants (attached for your review)
based on prior calculations by Ron Stock (also attached)
documenting that 30 units were unallocated or expired from
previous years, 18 units were available, as always, for this
year, and a 6 unit bonus could also be awarded, for a total
of 54 units. However, Hans Cantrup questions our interpreta-
tion of the quota which leads us to discuss this issue with
you.
The argument made by Cantrup is that City Council erred in
1978 when it awarded 36 tourist and 24 employee units to
the Aspen Inn and specifically required (in your Resolution 11,
Series of 1978) that both the tourist and employee units be
deducted from the lodge quota for forthcoming years.
Mr. Cantrup is asking that the 24 units subtracted from the
lodge quota in 1978 be added to this year's quota, resulting
in a total quota of 78 units. The two principal arguments
made in this regard are as follows:
1. Employee housing units are now exempt from the GMP and
are not deducted from available quotas.
2. Even if you were to deduct employee units from the quota,
they should have been deducted from the residential ana
not the lodge quota, since they are housing units.
The Planning Office finds the above reasoning faulty because
of the following points:
1. At the time of the 1978 competition, very different and
substantially more limited legislation existed regarding
the exemption of employee units from the GMP quota.
This fact results, in par4from your resolution adopting
the Growth Management Policy Plan, which clearly stated
that exemptions should be specifically discouraged. Since
that time, we have created numerous exemptions, primarily
for employee housing, which have resulted in a dual
growth rate, regulated and unregulated, and a rate of
growth far in excess of expectations. We believe that the
original premise of the GMP, that all units should be
deducted from the quota, is a very sound one. We will
be recommenting to you, as part of the GMP update, that
we return to this approach when we develop our new
quotas next year. We strongly recommend that you not
go back and reverse what was a well thought out action by
City Council in deducting all units from the quota.
2. If there was an error in judgement during the 1978 lodge
allocation, it may have occurred when the employee units
were deducted from the lodge rather than the residential
GMP quota. The possible rationales for deducting the
units from the residential quota rather than the lodge
quota is as follows:
A. Employee units are housing units, not tourist units.

Recol1l1lendation:
Project
Descriptions:
B. We have had an excessive growth in the residential
sector, while we have only witnessed one lodge
development since the initiation of the GMP. How-
ever, the major problem with this option is that
it would wipe out the residential quota for this
year and preclude us from obtaining any new develop-
ment within the GMP for another year.
We do not recommend that you alter, in any way, the decision
made to deduct the 24 employee units at the Aspen Inn from
the GMP quota. Should you find that these units should not
be deducted from the lodge quota, we urge you to deduct them
from the residential quota. Either of the above approaches
would be consistent with the original GMP and would help to
foster the concept we are proposing, that of a unified rate
of growth in Aspen.
We recommend that the quota awarded for this year should be
only 18 units, and should be awarded to the Aspen Inn. We
very strongly recommend that you not award any excess allot-
ments nor carryover any previously unallocated quota. Our
reasons for this position include:
1. We are currently re-evaluating the growth rates in
Aspen over the past five years and determining the
future buildout potential and appropriate growth rates
for next year. Given the fact that we have exceeded
our planned growth rates, we are consistently recom-
mending to you and the Board of County Commissioners
that you limit your allotments to no more than the quota
for this year alone.
2. Due to time constraints, the Planning Office was unable
to revise the Lodge GMP criteria, as we were able to do
for the commercial-office and residential competitions.
We are well aware that several scoring categories may not
be of continuing signficiance to the community, while
many of the scoring criteria are poorly worded and often
ambiguous. We also know that too many bonus points
are available to be awarded. We have placed this pro-'
posed code amendment on our work progranl for early in
1982. Our inability to amend the lodge criteria may be
partly responsible for the appeals which have resulted
from the di.fftcult scoring task faced by P & Z in the
lodge sector. We feel certain that we can improve upon
the quality of the review procedures for next year. At
that time, these and other applicants would be provided
with an opportunity to compete for a new allotment again
next year on what we are certain wi 11 be a more objecti ve
basis.
Commercial Quota Determination
The three projects which applied for allotments under the 19d2
commercial-office GMP competition can be briefly described as
follows. The Garden Office Building (615 E. Hopkins) is a pro-
posal to build a two-story office building, with retail uses
on the first floor, consisting of 9,656 square feet of space
plus a 985 square foot two-bedroom employee housing unit. The
City Plaza Building (517 E. Hopkins) is a proposal to build
a three-story office-retail building on the site presently
occupied by Poor Pauls, consisting of 15,300 square feet of
space, plus 2,700 square feet dedicated to four low-income
studio employee units. The Red Onion Addition (414 E. Cooper)
is a proposal to build a one-story addition above the portion
of the Red Onion Building which is to be occupied by Stefan
Kaelin consisting of 2,565.5 square feet to house a local office
(Reese Henry Associates) but without any employee housing pro-
posed on or off site.
Memo: 1982 Lodge and Commercial Allocations
Page Six
November 17, 1981
The Planning Office scoring of the Red Onion project was only
14 points, which would have denied this request. P & Z
scored this and the other applicants highly enough that each
has qualified for consideration of a quota award. The total
of 27,521.5 square feet requested is in excess of the 24,000
square foot quota for this year. There is 24,324 square feet
of quota which is unallocated or expired from previous years,
plus a 6,000 square foot bonus from last year which should
be offset this year (see attached calculations).
The Planning Office recommends that no more than 24,000 square
feet of office-commercial quota be allocated this year, thereby
awarding 9,656 square'feet to the Garden Office Building and
14,344 square feet to the City Plaza Building and denying the
Red Onion Addition. Our reasons for this recommendation are
as fo 11 ows :
1. We have been experiencing a growth rate of 45,000 square
feet of commercial-office space per year in the City of
Aspen due to GMP-approved projects and developments in
the NC and 0 zones. These projects have fueled an
employee housing demand which we have not been able to
meet.
2. We have recently extended the coverage of our commercial-
office GMP to include all development in the City. We
will next be developing new quotas which will have the
effect of bringing our commercial-office development
boom under control. We do not believe that it is appro-
priate to award an excess allotment at the same time that
we are questioning our ability to handle the growth rate
we have been experiencing.
The Planning Office further recommends that you determine not
to carryover the 24,324 square feet left over from previous
years. This action, which would "wipe the slate clean", seems
particularly appropriate in light of the excess buildout we
have been experiencing (Le., 50,000 square feet so far in
1981) and our intent to formulate new quotas next year.

RE: December 1 Quota Award Deadline
DATE: November 25, 1981
Section 24-11.6(e) of the Code requires that City Council "shall by resolution,
and prior to December 1st of each year, allocate development allotments among
eligible applicants in the order of priority established by their rank." To
meet this deadline, the Planning Office set up a work session with City Council
on November 19 so as to permit a resolution to be written for their regular
meeting on November 23. However, questions have recently arisen as to whether
the Aspen Inn Expansion application qualifies for an award of quota, due to
certain basic zoning and building code requirements. Until the Cantrup organiza-
tion is able to answer the questions which have been posed by the Planning Office,
we are unable to determine whether to reject their application or to move ahead
with the allocation process.
Furthermore, both applicants have appealed the scoring by P & Z, throwing the
rating of the two projects (Aspen Inn Expansion 51.8 points; The Lodge at Aspen
49.2 points) into confusion. In any case, Council has determined that 78 units
are available for award this year. The Cantrup organization has indicated their
wi 11 i ngness to accept a 54/24 sp 1 it on the award, whi 1 e the Reeder group has
stated that their project will not be viable without at least 31 units. They
have therefore asked for an award of 7 units from next year's quota, and would
drop their appeal on this basis.
Both applicants have agreed to permit the December 1 deadline to pass without
the formal award of quota by Council. The City Attorney has stated that this
deadline can pass, as long as both applicants agree that it is acceptable to
them. Nevertheless, we should attempt to make the award as soon thereafter as
is possible.

resolution, and prior to December 1st of each year, alloc develop nt allot-

Council on November 19 to discuss the 1982 Lodge Quota and to hear appeals
filed by both applicants contesting the scoring by P & Z of their applications.
While Council determined the available 1982 quota, the appeals were tabled to
your November 23 regular meeting. Several problems were identified by the Planning
Office, subsequent to P & Z's October 6 scoring of the 1982 applications, with
respect to the validity of Mr. Cantrup's 1982 Lodge request and the status of the
1978 Lodge allocation. The appeals were tabled again on November 23 per
resolution of the issues surrounding the Cantrup application. Both applicants
agreed to permit the December 1 deadline to pass without the formal award of
quota by Council.
On January 20, 1982, the Planning Office, upon the advice of the City Attorney,
rejected Mr. Cantrup' s 1982 Lodge GMP app 1 i cation. As a result, Mr. Cantrup' s
appeal of P & Z's scoring is moot. Similarly, Mr. Reed's appeal is no longer
necessary as more than enough quota exists to insure the award of an allocation
to the Lodge at Aspen.
The Planning Office therefore requests that you di.rect us by motion to prepare
a resolution awarding a development allocation of 31 lodge units to Mr. Lyle
Reeder and to authorize Mr. Reeder to proceed further with additional approvals
required from the City prior to obtaining a building permit.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Aspen Plannin9 and Zoning Commission
FROM: Alan Richman, Planning Office
RE: 1982 Lodge GMP Applications
DATE: October 1, 1981
Introduction: Attached for your review are project profiles for both of this
year's lodge GMP submissions, the Planning Office's recommended
points allocation for each application and materials summarizing
the proposed development program for the Aspen Inn Expansion and
The Lodge at Aspen. A copy of each application has also been
provided to you for your review purposes.
Quota Available: The available quota for this year is based on1he provisions of
Section 24-11.8 (Building Inspector reports to Plannin~ Office
on lodge construction during previous year), 24-ll.6(e) (unallo~
cated allotments may be distributed during later years), and
24-11.7(b) (rescinded allotments shall be added to available
allotments). The Planning Office has calculated the quota for
this year's competition. We find that during the five previous
competitions, 18 units were available annually, for a total of
90 units. During the first competition, Council awarded 60 units
to the Aspen Inn (36 tourist and 24 employee) and 16 units to
the Mountain Chalet (8 tourist and 8 employee). The resolution
awarding these allotments specified that both the employee and
the tourist units should be deducted from the lodge quota.
Since the initial allocation, Mountain Chalet has allowed its
16 unit award to expire. No additional applications have been
received until this year. Therefore, the 60 units awarded to
the Aspen Inn used the 18 unit quota for each of the first three
years of competition, as well as 6 units available for the fourth
year of competition. This means that 12 units were left over from
the fourth year and 18 were left over from last year, for a total
of 30 units which are unallocated or expired from previous years.
An additional 18 units are available for this year, plus a
possible bonus of 6 units (33% of those available for the year).
Summarizing then, the total quota for this year is as follows:
Quota unallocated or expired from previous years - 30 units
Quota available for 1982
- 18 units
Maximum 33% bonus
~ 6 units
Total available for 1982
54 units
Process:
The Lodge at Aspen is requesting 31 lodge units while the Aspen
Inn Expansion is requesting 96 lodge units. Since the Aspen Inn
request exceeds the available quota, should the project be granted
an allotment it could only be for a portion of the project, either
for the units remaining after The Lodge at Aspen receives its
quota, or for all 54 units available, thereby precluding the
award of any allotment to The Lodge at Aspen.
The Planning Office will make a brief presentation to you on
October 6 to explain the GMP procedures and to provide you with
a suggested assignment of points to each application. Next, each
of the applicants will be given 15 minutes to present their
proposal to you. A public hearing will be held to allow
interested citizens to comment. At the close of the hearing
each commission member will be asked to score the applicants'
proposals. To ensure a reasonable comparison of the relative
merits of each application, the Planning Office suggests that both
applications be scored at once on a category-by-category basis.

Memo: 1982 Lodge GMP Applications
Page Two
October 1, 1981
The total number of points awarded by all members, divided by
the number of members voting, will constitute the total points
awarded to the project. Please note that a project must score
a minimum of 60 percent of the total points in categories A
through E, amounting to 35 points.,~nd a minimum of 30 percent of
the points available in each category A through E to meet the
basic competitive requirements. Applications which score below
these thresholds will no longer be considered for a development
allotment and the application will be considered denied. Remem-
ber that bonus points cannot be used to bring an application over
this minimum threshold, but can affect the final ranking of the
applications for the purposes of awarding the allotments.
Planning Office These two applications represent significantly different proposals
Review: for utilizing the available lodge quota. The Lodge at Aspen
proposal represents the first attempt, since prior to the imple-
mentation of the GMP, to construct an entirely new lodge in
Aspen. This applicant has no previous performance in the GMP
competition, and is presenting a proposal for an entirely self-
contained facility. The application also signifies an oppor-
tunity to upgrade a key corner location at the base of Aspen
Mountain and in close proximity to the proposed Little Annie
Ski Terminal.
The Aspen Inn Expansion, on the other hand, represents a second
phase development of a prior GMP-approved project which is
currently under construction, and to further the concentration
of quality lodge accommodations in the vicinity of Lift l-A.
The project also is a part of the major lodge development
proposal by Hans Cantrup.
In as much as the current Aspen Inn GMP application does make
numerous references to aspects of that prior GMP approval and
to the ultimate development of the site, there is good reason
to consider this application i.n the context of past and future
proposals. The Planning Office has been closely monitori~g the
progress of the on-going construction at the lodge and has been
extremely concerned with the numerous deviations from approved
plans which have taken place and which are acknowledged by the
current application.
Specifically, whereas the original GMP submission involved 36
lodge units, the applicant is in the process of building 71 lodge
units, with the intention of demolishing the 35 unit Blue Spruce
and transferring these units to the conti'guous Aspen Inn.
City Council is currently reviewing this proposal and has recently
given conceptual approval to it, pending the submission of a
GMP amendment. Additionally, the applicant apparently has also
deviated from the approved architecture of the building and has not
yet fulfilled commitments such as the construction of 24 employee
units or the amenity package (conference facility, health club
and lobby) which were the original basis for the points awarded
to the applicant. Nevertheless, the Code does not yet provide
any basis for evaluating previous performance as regards a
current application, and these factors should not enter into the
scoring vou perform tonight. Similarly, any claims made by
either applicant which do not specifically refer to the current
requests before you or which refer to extraneous issues (quota,
lodge inventory in the corrmunity or various code interpretations)
should be similarly disregarded by you. Please, remember also,
that your scoring policy has always been that unless an applicant
specifically guarantees that proposed features will be provided,
no points should be awarded (that is, if an applicant only sug-
gests that a feature may be provided, it should not receive any
points).

The Planning Office would also like for you to know that both
applicants have, as required, satisfied the submission needs
for a conceptual application and have conformed to the
underlying area and bulk requirements of their respective
zone districts.
Planning Office
Ratings:
The Planning Office has assigned points to each of the applica-
tions as a recommendation for you to consider. We have rated
the applications both objectively, on their own merits in
comparison to each criteria, and relatively, by comparing the
positive and negative features of each proposal to the other.
The following table is a summary of the Planning Office analysis
and ratings for the two projects. A more complete explanation
of the points assignment for each criterion is shown on the
attached score sheets, including rationales for the ratings.

Applications & Servi ces & Services of Design for Guests Conformance Bonus Total
Aspen Inn Expansion 10 8 10 6 11 0 45
The Lodge at Aspen 12 9 10 5 11 0 47
The above summary indicates that both of the 1982 Lodge GMP
applications score well above the minimum competitive threshold
of 35 points. Both applications do qualify for an award from the
quota on the basis of these rankings.
Planning Office
Recommendation: Based on the analysis contained within the attached score sheets,
the Planning Office recommends that P & Z concur with our
recommended point assignments and effectively approve the Aspen
Inn Expansion and The Lodge at Aspen applications. The Planning
Office further recommends that P & Z recommend to City Council
that the quota from previous years be carried over to this year
and that a bonus of 6 units be added to this year's quota (to
be offset next year) for a total of 54 units available to thi.s
year's applicants. Finally, the Planning Office recommends that
P & Z recommend to City Council that development allotments of
31 units be awarded to The Lodge at Aspen and 23 units be
awarded to the Aspen Inn Expansion under the auspices of the
1982 lodge GMP competition.

MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT OF APPEAL TO CITY COUNCIL
PURSUANT TO SECTION 24-ll.6(E) OF THE
ASPEN MUNICIPAL CODE
Statement of Case.
Applicant, Lyle Reeder, has submitted an application
for a development allocation for 1982 under the provisions
of Section 24-11. 6 "Lodge Development Application Pro-
cedures". Applicant's project called for 31 new lodge
rooms. Applicant's proposed project is called "The Lodge
at Aspen" and represents the first attempt to try to
construct an entirely new lodge in Aspen under GMP. There was
only one other applicant for the 1982 GMP quota: Hans
Cantrup's "Aspen Inn" expansion, which was a request
for 96 units. According to Planning Office calculations,
there are 54 units available for 1982.
Planning and zoning action on the Lodge GMP was set
for October 6, 1981. Alan RichITan of the Planning
Office presented the members with an explanatory memo dated
October 1, 1981 (copy attached). The Planning Office stated
to the Planning Commission in their memo that both applicants
had met the code requirements of submission and, further,
both conformed to the area and bulk requirements of the
respective zone districts. t10re importantly, the Planning
Office rated the competing projects in the memo. The
results of the 1982 Planning Office Lodge GMP points
assignment were as follows:
Aspen Inn expansion
The Lodge at Aspen
45
47
It is also important to note that neither applicant received
any bonus points. The Planning Office also made the
following recommendation:
" . . . Planning Office recommends that P & z
concur with our recommended point assignments and
effectively approve the Aspen Inn Expansion and
The Lodge at Aspen applications. The Planning
Office further recommends that P & z recommend to
City Council that the quota from previous years be
carried over to this year and that a bonus of 6
units be added to this year's quota (to be offset
next year) for a total of 54 units available to this
year's applicants. Finally, the Planning Office
recommends that P & z recommend to City Council that
development allotments of 31 units be awarded to The
Lodge at Aspen and 23 units be awarded to the Aspen
Inn Expansion under the auspices of the 1982 lodge
GMP competition."
",.,-~-~-~-----"'-"
Both applicants made presentations at the meeting,
and the members of the Commission scored the project
pursuant to score sheets provided. The results of the
voting gave "Aspen Inn Expansion" a total average score of
51.8 and The Lodge at Aspen a total score of 49.2, thus
granting the entire 1982 allocation to Mr. Cantrup's
Aspen Inn Expansion.
An examination of the scoring sheets of the Planning
and Zoning members indicated clearly that one member
consistently, in relation to both recommendations of the
Planning Office and the other members of the Commission,
rated The Lodge at Aspen low and the Aspen Inn Expansion
high. In the view of Mr. Reeder, the scoring of the
alternate member, Allan Blomquist, was so aberrant, both
in relation to Planning Office scoring and the average,
that appeal to Council from the result is warranted.
Initially it is helpful to examine the scores granted
generally. Mr. Blomquist gave the Aspen Inn Expansion
a total score of 65 points. This score was eleven points
higher than Welton Anderson's 54, a trememdous variance in
terms of GMP scoring. It is also interesting to note
that this score exceeds the Planning Office scoring by
20 points. The average score of the other six Commission
members is 49.58 (excluding Blomquist). Mr. Blomquist's
scoring exceeded that average by 15.42 points. Likewise,
Mr. Blomquist consistently scored The Lodge at Aspen
project low. He gave The Lodge at Aspen a total score of
42 points, five points lower than Olof Henderson, the
next lowest scorer. He was 7.2 points lower than the
average of all members;8.42 points lower than the average
of the other six.
Even more revealing is the scoring of Mr. Blomquist
in specific areas. For example, on the Aspen Inn scoring
sheet in category A, "Public Facilities and Services",
Mr. Blomquist gave a score of 15, 5 points over the Planning
Office and 2.3 points over the average of all members.
This is significant in that this area contains little room
for discretion, covering water, sewer, storm drainage and
roads. When one looks at Mr. Blomquist's scoring for
The Lodge at Aspen, you see a score of 9 for "Public
Facilities and Services". All other members gave the
Lodge either a 13 or 14. A similar pattern is shown for
Section C, "Quality of Design". On the Aspen Inn sheet
Mr. Blomquist gave the applicant a 12 against an average
of 10.7. His scoring in this category for The Lodge at
-2-
~,------~---_.'."
Aspen shows an extremely low score of 7. The next lowest
score given was 11, and the average of all members,
even taking into account Mr. Blomquist's ranking, was 11.4.
Mr. Blomquist's comment regarding category 3, "Quality
of Design" is also revealing. He stated as follows:
"Concept is ugly. G.I. dorm look".
This hardly seems like the comment of a fair and impartial
Commission member.
Even more significant is the scoring of Mr. Blomquist
in the "Bonus" category. The Planning Office scoring gave
no bonus points to either applicant. On the Aspen Inn
scoring five of the Commission members gave no bonus points
at all. One, Lee Pardee, gave the Aspen Inn 3 bonus points.
Mr. Blomquist gave the Aspen Inn an unbelievable 12 points
(later reduced to the maximum allowed, 11, by the Planning
Office) .
Argument.
This applicant believes that an unbiased and
dispassionate review of the scoring sheets for both
applicants submitted by Mr. Blomquist indicates extreme
bias and prejudice in favor of the Cantrup/Aspen Inn
proposal on the part of Mr. Blomquist, particularly when
viewed in the context of the Planning Office scoring and
the scoring of the other six Planning and Zoning members.
GMP scorings, as evidenced by the scoring of the other
six members, are historically close affairs. Mr. Blomquist's
aberrant scoring clearly represents an abuse of discretion
and thus a violation of due process. While there is little
reported case law involving Growth Management allocations,
applicant believes the following points are relevant to
the instant case.
1. Prejudgment and Bias. This applicant has no
direct knowledge of the motives behind Mr. Blomquist's
scoring other than the fact that Mr. Blomquist has been
reputed to favor a large commercial conference center at
the base of Ajax Mountain. If in fact Mr. Blomquist does
have such a bias, Mr. Reeder may have been deprived of
his constitutional right to a fair and impartial hearing.
In the case of Saks & Company v. Beverly Hills, 107 Cal.
App. 2d 260, 237 P.2d 32 (1951), the California Court
reversed a variance revocation by a city on the grounds that
certain members had made campaign promises involving the
revocation. The court found that such bias and predis-
position deprived the applicant of a fair and impartial
hearing. In the instant case, this applicant maintains
that the radical scoring of Mr. Blomquist indicates bias and
predisposition in favor of one applicant over another.
-3-
"-,:_~~~..",~~..~_..._.~._~..",-..,,-,~,,-'"~- ..'-
The Pennsylvania Supreme Court has held that even if
actual bias cannot be shown, a proceeding must avoid even
the appearance of bias. Horn v. Hill Town, 337 A2d 858
(1975,PA. )
2. The "Appearance of Fairness" Doctrine.
There is a growing body of law in zoning and land use
matters known as the "Appearance of Fairness" doctrine,
which has grown chiefly out of the Washington courts.
The basis of this doctrine is that the public is entitled
to place great confidence in members of zoning boards and
that it is as essential that justice appear to be done as
it is that it is actually done (see Generally Anderson
American Law of zoning, 2nd Edition, Vol. 3, Section 21.22,
page 625). In a Maryland decision, Montgomery County
Board of Appeals v. Walker, 228 Md. 574, 180 A2d 865 (1965),
an appeals court reversed a lower court order requiring a
board member who had disqualified himself to break a tie
vote. The lower court had stated his interest was so
remote that he should be required to vote. The court of
appeals reversed saying the board member should be above
reproach and had properly disqualified himself. The
"Appearance of Fairness" doctrine is similar to that set
forth in the Horn case cited above. Even the appearance
of bias must be avoided.
It would appear to us that under the undisputed
evidence (scoring sheets) that there is at least an
"appearance of unfairness" which should be rectified
by Council action.
3. Abuse of Discretion.
This applicant submits that the scoring of Mr. Blomquist
represents a clear abuse of discretion granted to the
board members by the Lodge Growth Management Plan. When
measured against the scores of the other members and
scoring suggested by the Planning Office, Mr. Blomquist's
scores are so aberrant that they represent an abuse of the
process on their face. It should be noted also that the
principal protection built into the ordinance is the
"averaging" required by Section 24-11.6 (C). In this case
there was an extreme act by one member which affected the
average of all seven. We are not aware of variances of
scoring of this magnitude having occurred in the past, either
in the city or county. The result was an abuse of the growth
management process.
4. Relief Requested.
This applicant hereby requests that the Council grant
him relief in one of the following manners:
-4-
....--,~--'~'..-.._' - .'.~.._,,"--
1. That Mr. Blomquist's scoring be discarded and
the average of the six other members be retained,
based on bias and deprivation of the right to a
fair and impartial hearing.
2. That the City Council, pursuant to Section
24-ll.6(C), award an additional 23 points to the
total score granted to this applicant, to compensate
for the aberrant scoring of Mr. Blomquist.
3. That the City Council grant this applicant an
exemption from the Growth Management Plan.
Conclusion.
In closing, this applicant would like to point out
the consequences in the event the present scoring is
allowed to stand. If appropriate relief is not granted, the
Cantrup Aspen Inn expansion will receive the entire growth
management allotment, while Mr. Reeder's "The Lodge at
Aspen" will receive nothing. While Mr. Blomquist's motives
may have been the best, we believe that due process and
fundamental fairness require that they be discounted. The
record clearly reveals that, irregardless of motive or
intent, the process was abused. Finally, it is also clear
from the record, as indicated by the scores of six of the
members, plus the recommendation of the Planning Office,
that both the Aspen Inn Expansion and The Lodge at Aspen
are extremely worthy projects which should be built. If
the scoring stands only one project (Aspen Inn) can go
forward. If appropriate relief is granted by Council,
then both projects can proceed as recommended by the
Planning Office in their pre-scoring memo.

Re: 1982 GMP Lodge Scoring for the Aspen Inn
Expansion
Dear Council Members:
Certain inconsistencies in the GMP Lodge Scoring of
certain members of the Planning & Zoning Commission in those
categories where objective criteria must be applied necessarily
indicates a disregard of those criteria. Consequently, we are
constrained to challenge those scores on behalf of Hans B.
Cantrup pursuant to Section 24-ll.6(e) of the Municipal Code
on the grounds that they are arbitrary and capricious and con-
stitute an abuse of discretion.
The challenges and specific grounds therefor are as
follows:
1. Availability of Public Facilities and Services;
The Code states that, "The Commission shall consider each applic-
ation with respect to its impact upon public facilities and
services and shall rate each development by assigning points
according to the following formula:
o - Indicates a total infeasibility of providing
services
1 - Indicates a major deficiency in service
2 - Indicates an acceptable (but standard) service
level
3 - Indicates no foreseeable deficiencies
The following services shall be rated accordingly:
(bb) SEWER - (maximum 3 points) considering the
capacity of the sanitary sewers to dispose
of the wastes of the proposed development
and if a public sewage disposal system is
to be used the capacity of the system to
serve the development without system exten-
sions beyond those normally installed by the
developer, and without treatment plant or
other facility upgrading."
In his referal letter dated July 16, 1981 Heiko Kuhn
stated: "In regards to the proposed Aspen Inn Expansion I
forsee no problem in providing sanitation service to this proposed
expansion" (Emphasis added) (letter attached).
Since that letter clearly "...indicates no foreseeable
deficiencies," the maximum award of 3 points should have been
given by each P & Z member. Nevertheless three members only
awarded the project 2 points. Request is therefore made to in-
crease those scores by 1 point each for a total increase of 3
points in this category.
(cc) STORM DRAINAGE - (Maximum 3 points) considering
the capacity of the drainage facilities to
adequately dispose of the surface runoff of
the proposed development without system exten-
sions beyond those normally installed by the
developer.
......, ~
- -
The storm drainage system was specifically designed
to comply with the recommendations of the Planning Department as
evidenced by a memo from Joe Wells dated March 13, 1978, a
copy of which is attached hereto, regarding the 1978 GMP
application for the same site in which he recommended awarding
the maximum of 3 points on the following condition:
"Applicant has agreed to route site runoff to
either Mill or Monarch on the basis of the pre-
ference----orthe City Engineering Department"
(Emphasis added). n
Moreover, the recent referral from City Engineer,
Jay Hammond, dated September 17, 1981 recommends an award of
3 points.
Since the applicant specifically complied with the
recommendations of the Planning Department in designing this
aspect of the project so as to obtain the maximum number of
points and since there are certainly". ..no foreseeable defic-
iencies" in this category, it is clearly arbitrary and capricious
for certain members of the P & z to refuse to award the
maximum points. Nevertheless, three members did in fact only
award 2 points in this category. Request is therefore made
to increase those scores by 1 point each for a total increase
of 3 points in this category.
(dd) FIRE PROTECTION - (maximum 3 points) consid-
ering the ability of the Fire Department of
the appropriate Fire Protection District to
provide fire protection according to the
established response standards of the approp-
riate district without the necessity of estab-
lishing a new station or requiring addition
of major equipment to an existing station.
The applicant recently granted, without compensation
therefor, three water easements to the City as a result of which
water service and hence fire protection for the entire area has
been improved. (see letter from Jim Markalunas dated July 24,
1981 attached hereto) The project is only .25 of a mile from
the fire station, and it does not require any "...addition of
major equipment to an existing station." In his referral letter,
a copy of which is attached hereto, Willard Clapper clearly
indicates "no forseeable deficiencies". He does however initially
question rear access by merely stating, "I would like to see what
we have there prior to construction". In a later letter October 6,
October 6, 1981, a copy of which is also attached, he clarifies
this question giving his unqualified approval. Although the
project should therefore have received the maximum points, one
P & Z member only awarded two points. It is significant to note
that the same member awarded the competing project a full three
points. A comparision of the two projects with respect to the
objective criteria clearly reveals that his score is arbitrary
and capricious.

Request is therefore made to increase the score in
this category by one point.
(ee) ROADS - (maximum 3 points) considering the
capacity of major street linkage to provide
for the needs of the proposed development
without substantially altering existing
traffic patterns or overloading the existing
street system or the necessity of providing
increased road mileage and/or maintenance.
The project is bounded by major street linkage
which can certainly provide for the needs of the proposed devel-
opment without substantially altering existing traffic patterns
or overloading the existing street systems. It will not necessitate
increased road mileage and/or maintenance. There was no evidence
to the contrary whatsoever presented to the P & z.
The Planning Department comment to the P & Z was
"Engineering Department states that expansion will require sub-
stantial paving, curb and gutters on Mill, Monarch, Dean and
Lawn streets, which should be provided by applicant but has
not been promised in the submission."
six members of the P & Z apparently relied on this
statement in giving the project a total of only 12 points out
of a possible 21 in this category. This is arbitrary and cap-
ricious in that;
1. Paving, curbs and gutters are not part
of the objective criteria upon which scoring in
this category is to be based. It was never before
a requirement that paving, curbs, and gutters be
addressed in a GMP application and the applicant
was never notified by the Planning or Engineering
Departments that this was even a consideration.
2. The GMP contemplates design criteria and
probable impacts. It does not address the existing
physical condition of public roads. How can an
applicant be justifiably penalized for failure
to assure that he will improve the condition of
public roads when he has no idea that this is
even a consideration? Isn't it possible that
the City intends to pave, curb and gutter in any
event? Moreover, isn't it the City's respons-
ibility to maintain those roads? If, however,
the impact of this particular project would require
increased maintenance, that is a different story
since that is a specific criteria. In that
situation the applicant should be advised and
asked to participate in that increased mainten-
ance. Such is not the case here, where the
applicant is being penalized for his failure to
assure that he will make initial improvements
not comtemplated in the GMP criteria and of
which he is not advised. This process was not
intended to be a guessing game.
3. The applicant stated at the public hearing
before the P & Z that even though this issue was
not addressed, he fully intended to do paving, curbs
and gutters as requested and wished to amend his
application to indicate that. In fact, curbs
and gutters, if not already in existence, must be
inptalled prior to issuance of a Certificate of
Occupancy according to present policy of the
-3-
r
"
--.
-
Building Department. Six members of the P & Z
obviously completely disregarded that statement.
4. A comparision of the scores of the 6
members referred to above reveals that 4 of them
scored both projects equally in this category and
2 even scored The Lodge higher. This clearly
indicates an abuse of discretion for the follow-
ing reasons:
(a) Ute Avenue has always been a problem
with the Planning and Engineering Departments with
respect to additional development that necessitates
use of that road. This has been well documented
in the approvals for projects such as the Clarendon,
Gant, and the Benedict proposals.
(b) Any development such as the proposed
lodge will certainly overload the already taxed
existing street system in the area, and will at
some point in time necessitate increased road
mileage and/or maintenance.
(c) As a condition for any recommendation
the Engineering Department requires:
(i) applicant participate in street
improvements proposed by Little Annie Corporation; and
(ii) improve the right-of-way on Aspen
Mountain Road.
These are conditions which, unlike those for the
Aspen Inn Expansion, may never be capable of being
fulfilled. If and when Little Annie Corporation
will ever make the proposed improvements is a matter
for pure conjecture at this point. Gerry Huey, repre-
senting the Aspen Alps Condominium Association, stated
at the public hearing before P & z that the Aspen
Mountain Road right-of-way is incapable of being
improved to any significant extent which would help
to alleviate traffic problems which this project would
create.
The following comparison along with the above, clearly
indicate that the scoring was arbitrary, and we there-
fore request that the scores for the Aspen Inn be
increased to the maximum in this category.

2. Availability of Social Facilities and Services
The Commission shall consider each application with respect to its
impact on social facilities and services and shall rate each
development by assigning points according to the following
formula (except for public transportation, which is evaluated
separately) :
o - Project requires the provision of new services at
increased public expense
1 - Project may be handled by existing level of service
in the area
2 - Project in and of itself improves the quality of
service in a given area.
(aa) Public Transportation - (maximum 6 points) Six
(6) points shall be given if within walking distance
(520 feet) of a ski lift and abuts a public transit
route. Four (4) points shall be given if within
reasonable walking distance of both a ski lift and
public transit stop. Two (2) points shall be
given if within reasonable walking distance of
either a ski lift or public transit stop. And no
(0) points shall be given if not within a
reasonable walking distance of either.
Despite the fact that the project is within 520 feet
from Lift lA, (see letter form Alpine surveys dated October 6,
1981 attached hereto) directly abuts the public transit route
on Durant Avenue, is directly across the street from the Rubey
Park transportaion center, and is also within easy walking
distance of the Little Nell Lift, four P & Z members did not
award the maximum of 6 points to which it is clearly entitled.
The failure to award points where the objective criteria mandates
it is arbitrary and capricious. Request is therefore made that
the scoring in this category be adjusted so as to award the
maximum number of points.

points. We think this is attributable to a misunderstanding
regarding the provision of solar collectors, as evidenced by
the Planning Department's comment, "Applicant does propose
insulation standards and use of efficient fireplaces to max-
imize energy conservation, but does not guarantee the use of
solar energy devices." (Emphasis added) The heating system
for the Aspen Inn Expansion is part of the system for the
Aspen Inn, for which, in accordance with the 1978 GMP applic-
ation, solar collectors will be provided. Since those collectors
may suffice for the Expansion this application stated that add-
itional collectors may be provided. There should be no question
that whatever solar collectors are necessary will be provided.
By comparison, nothwithstanding the fact that the only apparent
difference between the projects in this category is that The
Lodge only proposes one fireplace in the lounge, all but one
member of the P & Z awarded The Lodge the maximum number of
points as can be seen from the following chart:

The applicant admitted a technical error in its
application as a consequence of which the actual reduction of
tourist rental space was miscalculated. The Planning Department
acknowledged this error and permitted the application to be
amended. Nevertheless, six P & Z members failed to take cogniz-
ance of this and failed to award the maximum points clearly
mandated since the actual reduction in F.A.R. is greater than
15% below the maximum allowable. The following calculations
are provided to verify this challenge:

MUST be awarded the maximum number of points in this category.
Request is therefore made that the score be adjusted accordingly.

In conclusion, we respectfully request that City Council
revise the scoring of the Planning & Zoning Commission as to
correct the inconsistencies presented by increasing the scores
in accordance with the schedule attached hereto.
The challenges presented herein are directed only to
those categories wherein scores are supposed to be based on object-
ive criteria. That is, where the facts presented must be judged
and scored based upon a fixed set of standards the P & Z does
not, and should not, have any latitude or discretion in scoring.
The exercise of such discretion must necessarily be considered
arbitrary and capricious and must be corrected by you.
However, with respect to those categories where there
are no fixed standards and where the criteria must necessarily
be subjective, the P & Z does and should have absolute latitude
and discretion. The scoring in these categories should not
be subject to challenge.

Dear Spence,
As we have discussed, a number of problems have been identified with
Mr. Cantrup's 1982 Aspen Inn Growth Management Plan Submission. Those
problems constitute either a deficency in the original submission or
involve issues for which technical clarification is required. Pursuant
to Section 24-11.6 f of the Municipal Code, the Planning Office requests
that you submit on behalf of Mr. Cantrup the following information:
1. A revised site plan whcih depicts an accurate representation of the
total site area applicable to the Aspen Inn submission,
2. External F.A.R. calculations for the proposed expansion, and
3. A revised computation of internal F.A.R. to include maximum
allowable rental square footage ( i.e., number of lodge units
requested), minimum allowed non-unit square footage, and a
proposed employee square footage.
Upon,submission of the requested information, the Planning Office will
ascertain the extent to which the changes would have affected the Planning
and Zoning Commission's scoring of Mr. Cantrup's application. You are
respectfully requested to submitt the above clarifications to the Planning
Office no later than January 4, 1982. The Planning Office will review
the material submitted in a timely fashion and you will be notified as to
our decision in this matter at the earliest possible date.
Thank you for your cooperation.

RE: Aspen Inn 1982 Lodge GMP Allocation
Dear Paul:
.
Sunny Vann, Alan Richman, and John Kelly all inform me
that you had conferred with the Planning Department and there was
some disagreement as to our position regarding the relinquishment
of the 24 additional units which the City Council agreed to
allocate this year. I would like to reiterate in writing what I
have already stated to both Sunny and Alan, which is also in
accordance with John Kelly's understanding of what was represented,
That is that if Council would restore the 24 units to the lodge
quota, we were willing to relinquish the additional 24 units pIus
any additional bonus which the Council \Vould be \villing to award
in order to permit Lyle Reeder to complete his proposed 31 unit
project. We never intended to relinquish any part of the 54 unit
allocation which we won in the Gf,lP competition. He felt that
such a proposed compromise would obviate the necessity for the
challenge and would be in the best interests of all concerned.
Although no specific mention was made of this by the Council in
the motion that was adopted increasing the quota, I understand
that this decision is entirely discretionary with Council and
that they will exercise that perogative when the specific alloca-
tion is actually made.
.
If you have any questions or comments, I would be happy
to discuss them with you at your convenience.
Very trjlY yours,

Re: 1982 Lodge GMP-Challenge
Dear Sunny:
In view of what is apparently a minor controversy surrounding
our challenge of the 1982 GMP Lodge Scoring, I would like to confirm
the interpretation which you have given to Section 24-1l.6e of
the code upon which our challenge is based. That is, in order for
a challenge to be considered it must allege that a member or
members of the Planning and Zoning Commission acted arbitrarily
or capriciously, or abused their discretion, in their scoring.
If, for any reason that is not an accurate representation
of your interpretation and position relative to a challenge would
you please notify me in writing at your earliest convenience.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Very truly yours,
SFS/mlc

R~: 1982 GMP - Lodge Challenge
Dear Sunny:
It has come to my attention that there is an error with
respect to the calculations of F.A.R. in the GMP Challenge
submitted in that, although the existing Chalet East was intended
to be moved prior to submission thereof. it is sti 11 in place,
and therefore the square footage of existing buildings should be
increased by 1,500 square feet to account for the remaining
Chalet East. Accordingly, I aln submitting revised calculations
which I would ask that you submit ~ogether with and as an amend-
ment to the challenge.
Thank you for your cooperation.

Assuming the quota available is 72 +
33% bonus = 96 units:
96 at 450 sq. ft. = 43,200 s. f.
Since under either A, B, or C above the maximum internal
floor area of the project will be below 44,018 sq. ft. the project
MUST be awarded the maximum number of points in this category.
Request is therefore made that the score be adjusted accordingly.

GMP Submissions for Lodge Development Allotments
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
I have reviewed the two applications competing for the 1982 allotment
of lodge rooms under the City's Growth Management Plan. I have attached
evaluation checklists outlining those areas pertinent to Engineering
Department comment. Please note that the point allocations are merely
suggested scores based on comments or informational inadequacies pointed
out in the checklist notes.
I would also offer the following outline of concern relative to GMP
requirements for each submission:
The Aspen Inn
1. Water - The applicant should be aware that both the 6 inch
and 8 inch lines adjacent to the site were installed by other developers
and that any tap would require a reimbursement to the people that
installed the lines as well as normal tap and PIF fees.
2. Roads - The Aspen Inn should be required to provide paving
and curb and gutter as needed on Mill, Monarch, Dean and Lawn Streets.
3. Site Design - The application is not clear regarding how large
service trucks, trash and delivery access will be accomplished. A
facility of this magnitude would require a substantial service access
seperate from the guest areas.
4. Amenities - The applicant offers to provide pedestrian ways
and substantial amenities and landscaping. Site plans included with
the application, however, do not indicate where needed sidewalks, etc.,
are to be installed.
5. Visual Impact - While the building apparently conforms to area
bulk requirements for the zone (although the cross section includes no
scale from which to check building height) its rather large site creates
a structure substantially larger than anything else in the area.
