Commissionmember Comments Open Space Master Plan Adoption Little Annie Public Hearing Olof Hedstrom asked for comments and presentations. Roger Hunt commented on the proposed ordinances being scheduled for a monthly report from the Planning Office. Jolene Vrchota of the Planning Office introduced the Open Space Master Plan to be considered for final adoption as an amendment to the 1966 Aspen Area General Plan. At a joint meeting on January 14th, the Aspen City Council and Board of County Commissioners unanimously passed a recom- mendation for adoption. The Pitkin County Planning and Zoning Commission adopted the Master Plan at a regular meeting held on January 23, 1980. The Open Space Master Plan has been written by the Open Space Advisory Board. The scope of the Plan emcompasses both urban and rural areas with specific efforts to be directed toward pre- serving land with open space value in both areas in por- tions of Pitkin County. The open space program is general- ly intended to guide the acquisition, preservation, en- hancement and/or creation of natural, rural, and park areas of diverse usage. The five categories of criteria are, visual, recreational, natural, cultural and acces- sibility, to be considered for any parcel of land for open space use.1his Open Space Master Plan first describes functions which open space in Pitkin County should serve, based on extensive discussions of the Open Space Advis~ry Board. Then it outlines and maps criteria to assist decision-makers in determining the open space value of areas or parcels of land. This plan provides the tools for examining any parcel in terms of such value which can then be compared to its value for other uses or its com- patibility with comprehensive planning efforts. In addi- tion, techniques and a strategy for implementation of a master plan are outlined. Implementation centers on pub- lic and private cooperation, with complimentary tasks managed (preferably) through a professional open space coordinator.

After reading the letters to the commission he asked for Joe Wells to pre- sent his comments. Joe Wells of the Planning Office commented that this is a rehearing specifically for rezoning request since action has already been taken on the Conceptual PUD and the Sub- division applications. The recommendation of the Planning Office was for approval. 'For an explanation of the pro- cess being taken with the Little Annie Project. We are operating under a signed agreement between the City of Aspen, Pitkin County, the united States Forest Service and the State of Colorado as well as the Little Annie Ski Corporation, to consider under the Colorado Joint Review Process. This agreement is to process development appli- cations that effect various governmental agencies through a joint review procedure so the applicant can avoid dupli- cation of applications with all the different agencies. That agreement requires Little Annie to file two major applications with the City of Aspen, one of rezoning re- quest and Conceptual PUD and Subdivision applications and a Preliminary Subdivision application subsequent to this consideration and also requires they file a special re- view application. These applications or pending the arri- val of documents produced by an independent consultant being contracted by Pitkin County, to examine a whole host of questions, such as has been asked by interested parties. The draft resolution approving this rezoning request if the P & Z chooses to act positive on this request is spe- cifically conditions on the reversion of the zoning in the event that approvals have not been gained by December 31, 1983. Olof Hedstrom commented that the P & Z adopted the Resolu- tion for PUD and Subdivision applications conditional upon specific conditions being resolved then next step is the Preliminary PUD and Subdivision applications, with Public Hearings at that time. The commission is particularly concerned with the transportation impact and the programs to assure neighborhoods of day skier parking and employee parking, and employee housing units being restricted to guidelines. He then stated that this is a continued Public Hearing and asked for comments from the audience. Judy Hoult Judy Hoult questioned if the employee housing and the ski area is one project? Olof Hedstrom answered yes and if the ski area falls through then the employee housing will also fall through. Norma Doll Norma Doll questioned the development in said area being a ski and employee housing included, will this be managed and by whom and we are worried about getting a slum area like Silverking. Nancy McDonnell commented that the procedures at the Water Plant Project have shown to be good because they have set aside for maintenance and upkeep a fund to pay for these expenses. Dave Hopkins Dave Hopkins questioned the number of units and bedrooms being balanced with the parking and how the number of 105 beds in 67 units was arrived?

Bill wanted to answer some of the concerns that have been brought up and one is that the control of main- tenance, repairs and guarantees of continued upkeep would be with funds set aside. Joe Wells stated that next this goes to City Council for consideration of conceptual application and rezoning re- quest and is set for March 10th at which time Council set the date for Public Hearing on the Conceptual level applications and the Rezoning Request. When all required information is finished and Little Annie finishes their preparation of the Preliminary PUD and Subdivision appli- cation then comes back to P & Z Commission and there will be Public Hearings at both. Olof Hedstrom asked for anymore comments from the public and closed the Public Hearing. He further urged the continued pUblic interest and asked them to follow the proceeding so to know what is being carried on during the processes.
