Ms. Penne entered into the record the planning office memorandum,
a September 28 letter from Nick McGrath, a September 29 memo
from Gary Esary, a September 29 memorandum from Jay Hammond,
engineering department, regarding the scoring.
Ms. Penned reminded the Board they did not take final action
on this GMP application following the scoring at the September
20th meeting. The total points awarded the project were 22.58
and the threshold is 22.8 points. The memorandum from Gary
Esary outlines some points requiring P & Z's consideration and
if any of the mistakes outlined apply to the Boards' scoring,
these need to be identified. If the final outcome changes the
scoring and puts the applicant above the threshold, the P & z
should direct the planning office to foward the project to
Council.
Harvey said it is important for the Commission not to set a
precedent where someone can come back and complain about their
scoring not being fair. Harvey said since this was tabled, and
the public hearing continued, the Board can review it. Harvey
asked whether this review could include the actual scoring
without setting a precedent. Esary said an appeal in the GMP
scoring can be made to Council, but such appeal is limited to
due process and denial of that process. Esary said in the
original scoring there were some areas that were oddly done,
which may have resulted in miscommunication or misapprehension
on the part of P & Z members. Esary said he feels if this is
a precedent, it is a very narrow precedent. There was no
other applicant in this competition.
Ms. Penne said she had originally told the Board more informa-
tion was needed on the trash category. Ms. Penne also pointed
out in the original memorandum, she added a category wrong and
if P & Z were following that, it looked as if the applicant had
met the threshold, when it was below that. Esary said a trash
system was presented, which received 1 point from the engineer-
ing department. The engineering deparment told the applicant
if they did certain things, they would get a higher recommenda-
tion. The applicant did those things, but did not bring back
the revised recommendation of the engineering department.
Nick McGrath, representing the applicant, said they are only
asking P & Z to look at a possible error in one line item, not
the entire scoring. The applicant is requesting the Board to
re-look at the trash scoring. McGrath said engineering's
Regular Meeting
Planning and Zoning Commission
October 4, 1983
present memorandum states this meets all the relevant standards.
The P & Z then has the discretion to grant up to 3 points for
trash. McGrath said one person scored this 2, one scored it 1
and several people scored trash 1.5. McGrath:.said a score of 1
under the Code means a major design flaw; 2 is acceptable but
standard. The engineering department is now saying the trash
is standard but acceptable.
Pardee said the engineering department had told the applicant
their trash system was "X" but this was not relayed to P & Z.
Pardee said he felt individual containers were a good idea but
only gave this 1.5 because he was under the impression this
did not meet standards. Pardee agreed to opening the scoring on
this part. Esary said if the Board feels the difference between
the planning office total and the planning office recommendation
gave rise to a mistake, the P & Z would be opening the entire
scoring. If the Board feels it is an individual mistake about
the trash, they would only open that one item.
McGrath said at the last meeting Ms. Fallin moved to table this
item but with no limiting language as to denial or examine the
trash only. McGrath said the P & Z is in effect at the same
place they were at the last meeting. McGrath asked that the
members re-examine their scoring on trash, as the applicant feels
his proposal warrants at least a 2.
Pardee moved the P & Z cons~r whether there are reasons to
re-examine either total scoring or scoring for one item; seconded
by Ms. Fallin. All in favor, motion carried.
White said he is willing to look at his trash score and would be
willing to give it a higher score than 1.5. Hunt said he does
not like the trash at the rear and would not change his scoring.
Hunt had given the trash a 1.5. Ms. Fallin said she would
possibly reconsider the trash line item score. Pardee agreed
with White and said separate trash receptacles is a good idea.
Pardee said if he had known this met code and he could have
scored it a 2, he would have. Pardee said at the time he thought
it was sub-standard and scored accordingly. Ms. Tygre said she
gave trash a score of 2 but was willing to open it for those who
may want to change their score.
Harvey re-opened the public hearing. There were no comments.
Harvey closed the public hearing.
Pardee moved the Commission reconsider trash and utility access
areas in the commercial GMP applications because the engineering
and trash departments were not solicited as required by Aspen
Code 24-3.5(b) (5); seconded by Anderson. All in favor, motion
carried.
Jay Hammond, engineering department, told P & Z his department
was suffering from lack of information at the time of submission.
In the C-l zone, there is a requirement to build a single
trash facility. The P & Z has the authority to vary this.
Hammond said in the absence of detailed information about what
the applicant was going to do with utility meters and transformer!
the staff recommended a score of 1. Hammond said since then,
he has solicited information from the trash department, the
electric department, whose comments have been positive. Hammond
said the intent has been to create a better south facing elevatiol
because of the residential uses. Hammond is recommended the
P & Z allow the individual trash areas. Hammond said he would
recommend a score of 2. There is room for the argument this
represents some improvement over what the trash area could be.

Hammond said there will be individual trash areas for each unit
and they are each clearly responsible for their trash area.
There is an inducement to keep their areas clean. Hunt ask~
if the proposal was adequate for the number of units. Hammond
said the proposal will give greater volume than with one
dumpster.
P & Z rescored the trash item. Pardee 2.5; Ms. Fallin 2;
Ms. Tygre 2; Hunt 2; Anderson 2.5; White 2.5. Ms. Penne said
the applicant now meets the threshold.
Anderson moved to recommend approval of 4,500 square feet of
commercial space at the East Hopkins Professional Townhouse
complex; seconded by White. All in favor, motion carried.
(Harvey abstained) .
Harvey opened the public hearing on the continued hearing for
the Andrews-McFarlin conditional use approval, and said that this
hearing had been tabled twice already, the first time to give
the P & Z conditons that would give them the ability to treat
this as a single finding, and the second time to get more speci-
fics about the exterior of the building.
Colette Penne, planning office, said this was tabled the first
time to give Gary Esary, Assistant City Attorney, time to come
up with amendments to the conditions for approval. Esary did
that and it was discussed at the hearing on September 20th.
At that time the planning office was recommending denial. Ms.
Penne said some Commission members felt if this was coming in
as a whole new development plan for that parcel, and was going
to be upgrading and adding additional S/C/I space, it would be
viewed differently. At that time, the Andrews said they had
condisered upgrading the exterior of the building, and it seemed
to be the Commissioners' feelings that that would change some of
the negative votes to positive because they felt that Andrews
establishing a residence in the building while they built up
the business and did a visual upgrading was a satisfactory
option.
Ms. Penne said the position of the planning office has not
changed. However, the Andrews have submitted plans for exterior
upgrading for the P & Z to look at. Ms. Peene said she wants
the P & Z to be aware, as it is part of the visual upgrading,
that the next item on the agenda is a similar request for same
use in the same building. Harvey said the Commission is aware
of this as well as the planning office's concern about opening
the flood gates on residential use in the S/C/I zone.
Ms. Penne said she did not know if approval by P & Z hinges on
the exterior upgrading. Pardee said he could see a big differ-
ence in the application now the P & Z can look at the plans for
upgrading the exterior. The Commissioners examined the plan in
deatil with the architect, Tom Crews. Ms. Tygre said she did
not think it was the consensus of the Board that the upgrading
of the exterior would have an effect on the conditional use.
Ms. Tygre said there are two separate issues, and because of
that, the P & Z cannot accept the upgrading as a trade-off for
the granting of a condiuonal use. Hunt agreed on that issue.
Harvey asked the applicants if they had agreed to the conditional
use permit at the last hearing. Andrews replied yes. Harvey

Planning and Zoning Commission

asked if the Commission had reviewed this and if they have any
comments. Pardee said, as he recalled, the Commission had a
split vote of 3 to 3 at the first hearing, and one member had
said that taking the ugliest building in town and bringing it
up to look liked the properties across the street (Clark's
market building) would be a tremendous change. Harvey agreed
but said that he did not think the Commission could consider
upgrading as a reason to grant the conditional use approval.
Anderson mentioned that it was tabled the first time for
documentation, which is now in the packet. Harvey agreed, and
said that it obviously did not resolved everyone's concern.
Harvey added now the question is whether the Commission wants
to consider this in light of the documentation, the restrictions
on the residential use, or whether the Commission wants to look
at the upgrading or it it is even relevant.
Anderson said he through the documentation was pretty adequate
as far as not creating a blanket policy on allowing residential
uses in the S/C/I zone. Anderson said the issue today is seeing
what kind of upgrading is planned. Ms. Tygre said she did not
think that was exactly right. Ms. Tygre said there seems to be
a great difference of opinion on this issue, as far as whether
the conditional use is acceptable under any conditions, some
conditions, or with the bonuse of the applicants remodelling the
front of the building. Ms. Tygre concluded she did not think
this iss ue that clear cut, there is a wide difference of
opinion.
Harvey asked Pardee if he felt that any motion should tie exter-
nal improvements to the approval. Pardee said that it should be
one of the conditions in Esary's documents. Harvey asked Esary
if the Board is granting or considering granting a conditional
use and asking for whatever this building might need in order
to grant it.
Esary replied if Harvey meant is it coercion, and if so, the
answer is no. The Commissioners had struggled with this approval
request over 3 meetings, trying to help the applicant and still
balance the planning aspect, and to try to prevent more encroach-
ments into the S/C/I zone as the planning office wishes. Esary
added that he had been asked at the time he was helping to draft
the permit for the Andrews if the improvements to the exterior
were acceptable, or if he felt they were a coercion, and Esary
stated then that he did not believe it was. Esary said because
the applicants tried to prove their accessory use first by
saying they needed to live there because of the nature of their
business, and secondly because the own the building and it has
been vacant for a year, and they have a negative cash flow, and
the reason it all works is if they could start a business that
is a permitted use, live there as an accessory use, and use the
positive flow generated to improve the building to attract more
SiC/I-type tenants. Based on that analysis, Esary concluded,
there is a reasonable tie between the grant of the conditional
use and the exterior upgrading.
Harvey stated that it seemed to him the essence of the request
is whether this business which is a permitted S/C/I business
requires an accessory residence in order to function. Harvey
asked the architect to show and discuss the drawings of the
proposed improvements. Harvey commented in view of the proposed
improvements, the P & Z must do one of two things; either make
the completion of these improvements a condition of approval, or
grant conditional use approval and conditional use permit and
with a specific time period for these to be completed, and if
not completed within the time period, then rhe conditional use
approval and permit will no longer be valid.

Harvey opened the public hearing.
Paul Sheldon, commenting as a public, said at the last hearing
on this request, his concern was not with the building itself but
with the issue of residential use in the S/C/I zone, and he felt
the applicants were caught in an unfortunate bind, wherein there
is a zone that does not allow residential use, and the problem
is not with this application but with the designation of the
S/C/I zone. Sheldon continued that if the P & Z approves this
application, they would put themselves in a compromising positio~
with regards to the next application.
Harvey closed the public hearing.
Harvey continued that the Commission had tabled this issue the
first time because of their concern for setting a precedent,
and to see if specific language could be written into the permit
to avoid setting that precedent. Harvey pointed out now the
issue of exterior remodelling is presented with nothing more
than a drawing to go on.
Esary stated that the through renderings, budget, and date of
completion would be sufficient. Andrews said they did have a
budget. Harvey asked Andrews when they could have these improve-
ments completed, and Andrews said in one year. Anderson stated
he is satisfied with the conditions presented by the Assistant
City Attorney, and what has been presented today. Anderson said
he believed it in no way tied P & Z into speculative changes in
the S/C/I residential uses. Anderson added that the language
of the permit is very limiting, and that he would be in favor
of granting approval for one year. Ms. Fallin stated that she
voted no on this issue in the beginning and will continue to
vote no.
Pardee stated that he would be in favor of granting approval.
Ms. Tygre said that she agreed with Ms. Fallin. She said she
felt strongly about allowing residential use in the S/C/I zone,
and that she felt the need for this business is the real criteria
White stated that he through the S/C/I zone in that section was
wrong, but because he felt it was the wrong zone did not mean
that this was the right way to go about changing it, and would
have to vote against approval.
Hunt said that he would vote in favor of approval. Hunt said
that the uniqueness of the operation and the hours, plus the
limited scope of the dwelling unit were sufficient reasons to
approve. Hunt added that theapplicants said that they would
complete these improvements in one year, but as far as condi-
tional use review, he would favor making it for two years.
Harvey said that the only grounds that he could see for consid-
ering an accessory dwelling unit is that the hours of the
business, and the nature of the business is such that it
requires someone to be on hand around the clock. In the condi-
tional use permit drafted by the city attorney, it states that
"the permitted use shall be a bona fide, for profit, equipment
rental storage and repair business with customary and regular
business hours." Harvey continued that customary and regular
business hours to him were 9 to 5, 8 to 6, or whatever.
Harvey said that he wans not sure that this type of business
required strange and unusual hours, even though the applicant's
letter stated that it did. Harvey said that he felt the equip-

ment could be delivered during normal business hours, and that
he did not see in the conditional use permit any rationale for
an accessory dwelling unit. Harvey concluded that if everyone
is concerned with preserving the S/C/I status, and are confronted
with considering an accessroy dwelling unit because there is
S/C/I space that has not been occupied, then there is something
wrong.
Bob Andrews said that if they had done what others had done in
the S/C/I zone, they probably would have tried to attract retail
tenants, but they were trying to stay with the S/C/I zoning.
Andrews added that other surrounding owners of S/C/I space had
gone to retail use. Harvey replied that he was aware of it,
but that his concern was with the statement on customary and
reasonable business hours. Harvey asked the applicants what
their proposed hours would be. Andrews answered that they would
have to meet the competition's hours across the street (Clark's
Market), they would be opened from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. Harvey
said that he would want something in the motion to regulate the
hours.
Ms. Fallin pointed out that Clark's Market stays open until
10 p.m. but no one has to slepp there, so why should Andrews.
Harvey said that the profit margin would not support paying some-
one to work until 10 p.m., as it does at Clark's. Ms. Tygre
said she was having a hard time justifying the accessory use
definition in this case. Anderson said that he believed the
request meets the intent of the accessory use provision.
Harvey said that he would be in favor of this approval as it is
drafted with an amendment to the conditional use permit to
provide for business hours which are not customary and irregular,
and that if Andrews and the attorney wanted to specify as 10 p.m.
nightly, they could do so. Harvey added that the straw poll of
the Commissioners indicates that the vote is 4 to 3 in favor.
Hunte moved to approve the conditional use permit with accessory
dwelling space in Units B-4 and B-6 of the North Mill street
Andrews building, conditioned on the adoption of the draft
conditional use permit dated 9-15-83, and with an amendment of
that permit to indicate that the hours will be irruglar and in
conformance with Clark's market hours.; the conditional use
permit should also mention that the applicants have stated that
they will add planters to the plat, and that the applicant has
represented that they will completed the named improvements withir
one year, and the final condition would be that this conditional
use permit would be reviewed by P & Z in two years, and that
Bill Drueding, building enforcement officer, will report on the
improvements within one year, and also that said improvements
will cost no less than $13,000; seconded by Pardee. Roll Call
vote; Ms. Tygre, nay; Ms. Fallin, nay; Anderson, aye; Pardee,
aye; White, nay; Hunt, aye; Harvey, aye. Motion carried.
Richard Grice, planning office, said this is a conditional use
request for a dance studio, catelog sales, and residential use
in the S/C/I zone district. There is also a change in use
request involved from commercial to residential. There is also
a request to add a greenhouse of 71 square feet. Grice told
P & Z with regard to the dance studio, there is not enough
parking on site to accommodate the students. The applicants
indicate they plan to use city property for parking. The staff's
position is that any given site must provide for its own impacts
on site. Grice said there is not enough parking on site for
classes, particularly if there is reduction of parking resulting
from the residential use. The recommendation for a dance studio
is denial.

The catalog sales office is a use which the staff cannot see
any adverse impacts associated with this. The parking is
adequate to accommodate occasional visitors. Grice said he
feels this is a consistent use and compatible with other S/C/I
zone uses. The staff recommends approval of the conditional use
for the catalog sales office.
Grice said as far as the residential use, the P & z is familiar
with the pros and cons. The Board is being asked to find that
the residential use is accessory to a permitted use. The
permitted use is a shopcraft industry; specifically, the manu-
facture of art work. Sarah Pletts produces art work on premises.
Grice said he has met with the applicant and has some understand-
ing of her need for a residential use located on the same site
as the business. Grice told P & Z the applicant must demonstratE
that the business requires a residence on site to operate
effectively.
Grice said the applicant has explained to him that her art
requires applying many layers to material, perhaps as many as
20 layers, and it takes an hour for the color to dry; therefore,
Ms. Pletts has all through her professional career lived in
her studio. Grice said this explanation sounds like a home
occupation. The Code states people are allowed to have art
studios in their home as an accessory use, permitted by right
in all zones. Grice pointed out there is some incidental sales
on premises; however, he does not have enough information to
understand the sales on premises. Grice said in the zone, there
cannot be over the counter sales but incidental or contract
sales might be appropriate.
Harvey asked what Grice's finding is on the requirement that
the expansion of commercial space receive an allocation or
exemption from GMP, or is that a separate item. Grice said this
is a separate item; the code requires expansion of commercial
space requires a GMP allocation of exemption from GMP. In this
case, it is eligible for an exemption. The Code allows an
expansion up to 250 square feet to be determined by the building
inspector and planning director. This element of the proposal
is not before P & z.
Harvey asked what uses were in this building before. Grice
said he was not sure and that it has been vacant for awhile.
Grice pointed out that the parking associated with the building
does not meet the minimum standards. Harvey asked if the P & Z
could deny approvals based on the parking deficit. Grice said
he recommended approval of the catalog sales. Grice said the
nature of the two requested uses is different; a class has
6 or 7 people showing up at one time. A catalog sales use would
not have a devastating use on parking. Harvey asked about the
Rio Grande parking, which is almost adjacent. Grice said the
engineering department says that cannot be used. Harvey said
the Rio Grande is existing, city-owned parking. Harvey said
the Commission could make a condition that the applicant
require students to park at the Rio Grande parking lot. Grice
said any use should accommodate its own parking on site. If
P & z feels the Rio Grande is appropriate, they could make that
a condition.
Sarah Pletts told P & z she has been an artist for many years
and has proved to herself that living in a separate space from
her work does not work. The temperature and humidity have to
be kept at a constant level.
Regular Meeting
Planning and Zoning Commission

Ms. Pletts said her work requires certain conditions, like light
and she cannot carry the work up and down stairs. Ms. Pletts
said the Andrews building has 14 feet ceilings and is ideal for
her occupation. Ms. Pletts told the Board the second thing
that is important to her is performance art. She does large
visual work in relationship to dance. Ms. Pletts said she
colloborates with many artists. Ms. Pletts said she would be
able to put together the constructions in this studio and walk
them to either the Visual Arts Center or the performing arts
center. Ms. Pletts said the last point in relation to her
particular work is safety. If P & z allows the proposed use,
Ms. Pletts will not have to be out and about in late hours.
Allowing these proposals will also allow the Andrews to upgrade
the entire building.
Harvey asked how many square feet for the proposed use. Tom
Crews, the architect, told P & Z with the greenhouse proposed,
the total will be 730 square feet. There is a proposed storage
loft of square feet. Crews said about 30 per cent of the
area will be dedicated to living space and 70 per cent will be
dedicated to the studio.
Harvey read from the code, "the intention to allow the for the
use of land in the preservation of limited commercial purposes,
limited industrial purposes and customary accessory and
institutional uses, which do not require or generate high
customer traffic volumes, in addition, residences for those
employed in this district may be included in service or
commercial buildings or adjacent thereto as conditional uses".
"Permitted uses: Limited commercial and industrial uses
including the following; - read from list - and shop-craft
industry; provided that no permitted uses create an unusual
traffic hazard . . . and provided that no permitted uses sell
da'ily or frequently bought items to the general public".
Under conditional uses - full service gas station; dance studio,
martial arts studio; dwelling units accessory to other permitted
uses; catalog sales, photography studio."
Harvey said given this application, the shop craft industry is
a permitted use, provided there is no retail sales department.
Catalog sales office is a conditional use. Harvey said the
P & Z does not want to take away available S/C/I space to create
residences, which is a valid argument. However, the P & Z has
been looking at space in the last two applications which has
been vacant. Harvey said this is not doing any good, either.
Harvey said the desirability of a residence is not only mentioned
in the zoning intention, but it is specifically mentioned as
a conditional use when accessory to a permitted use, such as
shop craft industry.
Harvey opened the public hearing.
Maggie deWolfe, president of the Aspen Council for the Arts,
said they feel Sarah has made tremendous strides in the community
for both the performing and visual arts. Ms. deWolfe said
Sarah's catalog is wonderful. Ms deWolfe said she feels that
Sarah should have a place near both the Visual Arts Center and
the proposed performing arts center. The arts community supportE
this request before the P & Z.
Harvey closed the public hearing.
(Ms. Fallin left Chambers).
Ms. Tygre said one of her problems with these requests for
residential uses is the necessity to live near one's work as
opposed to just wanting to live near the work. Ms. Tygre said
in this particular instance, Sarah's use of residence in
conjunction with her work seems to be more probable than some
others. Ms. Tygre said her only concern with the studio
aspect is that it not turn into a gallery. If this turns into
a gallery with too much retail, that would be disturbing

Grice asked why Ms. pletts business would not work in a resi-
dential zone. Ms. pletts said most artists that work in their
home work more like a hobby rather than designing sets and
large artists things. Harvey asked the Commission members if
they feel this falls within a "shop craft" and is therefore a
permitted use. Ms. Tygre said she feels it does. Pardee said
he had never addressed the question whether an artists studio
fits within the SiC/I; it is not service, commercial or
industrial. Pardee said this is everything contrary to what
he ever thought of the S/C/I zone.
Anderson said when he first read this application, he did not
agree at all; however, he has never heard such compelling reasons
to approve this use. Anderson said with proper working from
the attorney's office regarding the conditional use permitted
for a specific case, if the owner changes or the use changes,
the permit ends. Harvey said if the Commission give a condition-
al use permit for an accessory residence, they will want to tie
it to Ms. pletts' proposal. Harvey said if Ms. Pletts sells
or leases this, the Commission will have the opportunity to
re-examine the residential use.
Hunt said he has also been turned around by a convincing argu-
ment. Hunt said this will have to comply with a 3-hour wall
so it does not exclude any other S/C/I use. The inclusion of
a residence should not exclude any S/C/I use. The Commission
discussed the pros and cons of a three-hour wall. Sheldon said
he was opposed to this application in the beginning, but after
the previous case and Ms. Plett;s' preserttation, he would be in
favor. Sheldon said a three~hour wall is the obligation of the
owner of the building and a person who wants to instigate a
hazardous use. What Ms. Pletts is applying for is a permitted
use in the S/C/I zone and does not require a three-hour fire
wall, and the P & Z should not require it. Sheldon said for
the dance studio, some provision for parking should be required.
White said he is opposed to a three-hour wall because he would
not want that type of use to go in so close to the river.
Pardee said the UBC requires a higher fire wall rating when
there is a residence, and the applicant should put in the
higher fire wall. Ms. Tygre agreed with the need for a three-
hour wall because there will be a residence in this building.
Anderson moved to approve 'a conditional use request for the
catalog sales office, and dance studio, and residence as an
accessory use conditioned upon (1) provision of one parking
space on-site for the residence; (2) parking for visitors be
provided for off-site either on the city's parking lot or
through an agreement with the Trueman center; (3) the fact that
this conditional use will run so long as Sarah pletts owns
and occupies the space, and (4) the applicant agree to meet in
the future any building code requirements that are necessary
to allow any other uses to go into the basement space of the
Andrews building; (5) the spaces are B-ll and the south portion
of B-9; seconded by Sheldon. Anderson amended his motion to
include this be replatted subject to the approval of the city
attorney and planning office; Sheldon accepted the amendment.
