Approval of Minutes Commissionmember Comments .. Resolution 80-5 Transportation System Perry Harvey made a motion to approve the minutes of April 08, 1980 as corrected. Lee Pardee seconded the motion. All in favor, motion carried. Olof Hedstrom asked for additional comments from the mem- bers on our responsibility and obligations on the Aspen Institute matter, when it comes before us a week from Friday. Joan Klar commented that she feels the way Perry stated in his letter on this matter. Perry Harvey asked if everyone received a copy of the memorandum from Ron Stock on the personal liability and obligations? Accord- ing to this unless the court determines that our omission is willfull or wanton, that the City is going to protect us and maybe we need a statement of indemnification drawn up and signed by the City. Ron Stock commented that the members may not be represent- ed but it is a legal act of a quirm that is needed. There will be no prejudgment made on what the City Council will do until they have to do something. I may well recommend that if this commission has not acted by the 21st, that the City Council assume that you have recommended a denial and that they move ahead. Nancy McDonnell commented that she does not feel that the liability situation is real and they will not actually follow through on it. It is harassment and it seems to me that we would be doing a disservice to the process to not take action. Olof Hedstrom agreed and hopes that we can come to a descision. Ron Stock commented that there is no critizizum towards anyone to their descision to not take action. The pro- gress since last time of discussion, the attorney's had taken the position that they were recommending to the Trustee's that they not drop the personal liabilities. Karen Smith of the Planning Office, answering Perry Harvey's question about the Lodge Preservation work session, stated there will be a study session when you choose. We would like to look at the Growth Management Plan before adopting this proposed ordinance. The members then chose to meet on Wednesday, June 4th, 1980 in the City Managers Office, at noon. Karen then invited all the members to attend the Planning Commissioners' Workshop on May 30 & 31, 1980. Olof Hedstrom brought to the attention of the members the Resolution 80-5 on the Transportation System be resolving auto access and bus way feasibility. He then stated that Hans Gramiger has some new information to be presented. Hans Gramiger of Aspen commented that he had attended a meeting with the Highway people and local staff and this looks good and the momentum we have gained and should be in form of a written resolution. I would like to ask you at this time to not pass on the resolution presented today and allow me to volunter a resolution that would refer to '"' ~ ." -2- RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 100 Leaves F ORM'~ C.

Regular Meeting Aspen Planning and Zoning Commission May 06, 1980 the studies that have been made by independent consultants over the years, so that we have a better feeling. Would it be suitable to wait until the next meeting and then have a choice? I talked with Peter Guide before and feel the Pitkin County P & Z and the Aspen P & Z should have an informal study session with all commissions concerned and feel the study session is imperative. The commission felt that there should be additional wording in this reso- lution to show urgency of technical work and alignment from construction feasibilities,and provide a busway. All agreed to have this proposed resolution brought back at the next regular meeting with Hans Gramiger's proposed resolution to look at as well. Concept 600 Subdivision Exemption Sunny Vann introduced the application of the Concept 600 Subdivision Exemption located on Main St. in the western portion of the Post Office Facility on the ground floor. This is a request for subdivision exemption for the pur- pose of condominiumization. The Engineering Department recommends approval with no conditions. The Planning Office concurs with Engineering Department's recommenda- tion with the added stipulation being subject to appli- cant's filing of a concominium plat. The Engineering Department suggested that in keeping with the initiative taken by the City to construct handicap ramps in the commercial areas and including the construction of two handicap ramps for access to the Concept 600 Building. Perry Harvey moved to recommend approval of exemption from subdivision for the Concept 600 Building ground floor, subject to the applicant's filing of a condominium plat. Joan Klar seconded the motion. All in favor, motion carried. 715 West Main Street Special Review Sunny Vann introduced the request for a special review approval for reduction in the number of required parking spaces for an office building being constructed at 715 West Main involving the renovation of an existing victo- rian, creating a series of small offices. The code pro- vides a mechonizium whereby in the O-Office District, we may reduce the criteria from 3 spaces per 1,000 sq.ft. to 1.5 spaces per 1,000 sq. ft. Traffic generation is a primary consideration in reduction of required parking. The applicant has not indicated the number of offices the building will be subdivided into nor the nature of tenants. The Engineering Department has reviewed the applicant's request and recommends a reduction to 1.5 spaces per 1,000 sq.ft. The Planning Office would be willing to support that recommendation subject to a com- mitment as to the number of office spaces to be constructed. Based on a minimum standard of one space per office, the maximum number of offices should not exceed ten. After discussing the parking problem Lee Pardee moved to reduce the parking requirements for 715 West Main Street from 3 spaces per 1,000 sq.ft. to 1.5 spaces per 1,000 sq. ft. on the condition that the applicant sign a stipulation that there be no more than 10 offices within the structure to be built to include 10 spaces. Nancy McDonnell seconded the motion. All in favor, motion carried. rORM'~ C.F.HOECKfLa.a.1I l,Cl.
