RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
Aspen Planning and Zoning Commission, Regular Meeting, July 17, 1979, City Council Chambers, 5:00PM
The Aspen Planning and Zoning Commission held a regular meeting on July 17, 1979, in the City
Council Chambers, at 5:00 PM. Members present were Jaon Klar, Lee Pardee, Olof Hedstrom. Roger
Hunt, and Welton Anderson. Staff reprpesentatives were City Attorney Ron Stock, H.J. Stalf,
Karen Smith, Jolene Vrchota, Jim Reents, and ~ichard Gricea
CHANGE IN AGENDA:
Smith explained that the Rio Grande was located on the agenda under
new business in which it should be in the old business. Smith stated
that their action last time was to recommend the Plum Tree site for the
transportation overlay a
Parry Harvey enters the meeting.
RIO GRANDE TRANSPORTATION
OVERLAY:
Stalf stated that their problem was street maintenance in the winter
time. The streets are plowed at night at 2:00 AM. The situation
last year is that the crews would be out at 2:00 AM and the&:3uld
have to wait until Dillingham'.g would finish. Dillingham'sAwere
slow because of the distance that they would have to travel. This
was extremely cbstlyto the City and this prompted the City to .J;"rt bv#
the~r own tow truck. Stalf stated that there are two ways that they
tow; one is the nightly street maintenance downtown and throughout the
town, the other is the basic meatballs~the 72 hour violaters in
which this is a day time proceedure with the tow trucks. Stalf stated
that what he would like to do is to have the meatballers towed out to
the Plum Tree. At night, they really need the ~ickness of the Rio
Grande because the overnight cars are almo~~aimed the next day.
Stalf stated that what they see in those vehicles is someone for some
reason has decided to leave their car overnight or tourists that
did not know, or for those whom have gotten loaded. Stalf stated
that they would like to have the option to ~the cars into the
Rio Grande on an overnight :basis. Any cars that are not claimed
within a certain period of time would be retowed into the Plum Tree
lot. The Rio Grande would only serve as a short term basis.
Pardee asked Stalf about the protection that would be provided for
personal belongings in the vehicles. Stalf stated that at the Plum
Tree, it would be a bermed fence with a gate. But at the Rio Grande,
the vehicles would only be there overnight and if something happens,
then it would be the city's responsibility.
Stalf stated that at the beginning they have had problems with their
tow truck drivers. For one, "tag1 ...>;;....0;;:; iu..:..][~e%ienaca uhieh some
damage was the result of the drivers. Ann Holmbeck, Traffic Control
Officer for the Aspen Police Department, stated that they have had
problems with juveniles locating keys and stealing vehtcles.. Holmbeck
stated that the longer that it takes to clear the streets, the many of
thousands of dollars that the City is losing. Holmbeck also mentioned
that they need some type of barrier in the Rio Grande lot mainly
because cars were being retrieved without people paying for them, which
also cost the City many thousands of dollars. Stalf stated that there
will be a very slight berm which might possibly be a snow bank in the
winter. This is mainly a winter time problem.
Holmbeck stated that vandalism usually occurs after cars have been left
for a long time.
Stalf stated that the City got into the towing business without any
planning in the middle of a very har h winter.
(lA-P~i!<.
Klar asked Stalf about the that they are expecting.
stated that at the Plum Tree about 50 vehicles, and at the Rio
approximately 20.
Stalf
Grande,
'-'
Stalf stated that the Rio Grande is basically utilized by the local
employee. If they take away 20 spaces for towed vehicles, that
would be taking away spaces from people who drive to work. In
result, they would be taking away long term parking.
Klar asked Stalf if their immediate plan is to tow when 2:00AM
arrives. Stalf stated that there is usually a grace period until
3:00AM. About 12:00 noon, if people did not come by to claim their
cars, then they would be retowed to the Plum Tree.
Hedstrom opened the meeting to the public. Remo Lavagnino commented
on this case. Lavagnino stated that although this is a temporary
condition for holding cars, it is still a permanent condition for
the Rio Grande property. It seemed to him that the City has always
fought for a greenway system and this seems to degrade the area by
putting in an impound lot. There is not that much space between
the river and what is allowed for the greenway area. Best to
Lavagnino's recollection, the Rio Grande property was purchased and
implemented on the Voorhes Transportation Plan, and was a 7th penny
tax resolution that was presented to the voters and was passed.
In Resolution 19, Series of 1972, this was for parking, intercept
points, for the transportation system. According to ex-City
Attorney, Sandy Stuller, an impound lot was not an allowable use
in that area. City Finance Director, Lois Butterbaugh, stated that
this was re-financed to include the 6th penny tax, which has a
wider span for open space and parks. Lavagnino f~lt that ~ putting
in an impound lot in the Rio Grande is not onlYAgilowed, but it
violates the spirit of both the use of the land and the reason for
the taxes that bought that land.
Stock stated that if the Rio Grande property was bought with the
7th penny tax, then it is a proper use. If it was bought with the
6th penny, then it is not a proper USe. Lavagnino stated that it
was refinanced with the 6th penny in which he received this informa-
tion from Butterbaugh. Stock replied that the 7th penny funds,
with that there is transportation designation, may justifiably
assist in transportation in the City which includes parKi~g,_
parking structures, and impound lots. Had it been done with the
6th penny only, you would have had the opposite result being 6th
penny funds are for parks, recreation, and open space. This does
not allow transportation use. Stock stated that the definition
of the 7th penny occured as the result of a resolution of the
Council and is not part of the 7th penny ordinance which was adopted
by the public. But, the Council itself limited the use of the 7th
penny funds further than what the ordinance did just prior to the
election. They have eliminated certain uses, but they left in
the term transportation. Stalf commented on the fact that it was
a joint purchase and that there are joints functions that are needed
in near-by downtown. Stalf stated that what they really look at is
the need for services in the City.
Hedstrom asked Stock if they are to assume that there are no
restrictions on the funding of this property from 6th or 7th penny.
Stock stated that with the use of the 6th or 7th penny funds, the
property may be used for transportation purposes which would include
an impound lot.
Hedstrom closed the meeting to the public.
Stalf stated that, tn...~"9"" if they need help, ~ they would be
calling Dillingham's to help get the job done.
Holmbeck stated that they could look at the Rio Grande as a short
time solution. They are hoping for more tow trucks and more
personnel. If they had more tow trucks, they could get the town
cleared out faster and bring the vehicles out to the Plum Tree.

Smith suggested to the oe~m.itt~~, that considering that a public hearing
was held to consider an amendment to the SPA Plan, in which the amendment
would allow a police impound lot. The:way to do that is to change the
designation from greenway to recreation, parking, and future building
zone. The permitted uses within the parking, recreation, and future
building zone, p~rmit.tranlSPO~tation and parking facilities. Smith

recommend a SPA amendment that would allow the police impound lot as a
conditional use in the greenway zone. Stock stated that it would allow
transportation and parking USeS in the SPA greenway as a conditional use
hearing, at which point you could set up your time limitation.
Hedstrom stated that the general feeling that they would permit this
limited area impound lot, in the area proposed with a definite limitation
on time.

Hedstrom stated that without any formal action, they should have the
Planning Office come up with a formal plan to accomplish their objectives,
preferably by using areas that are adjacent and convenient that would
accomplish all the purposes, but does not encroach on the greenway, but
if necessary to encroach on the greenway, to do it in such a matter that
it could be temporary and subject to review-cas conditions'change and
develop.
Hunt moved to table action on the Rio Grande Police Impound Lot pending
review and a resubmittal by the Planning Department in detail plan.
Anderson seconded. All in favor. Motion carried.
ELECTION OF OFFICERS and
AMENDMENT TO BY-LAWS: Stock stated that the process that is contemplated in the charter and the
ordinance, says that the P&Z Commission would elect it's own chairman
along with vice-chairman. This would happen at its organizational
meeting after new members are appointed to it. The charter sets up the
4 year terms of office for a member of the Planning and Zoning Commission,
such that their terms go from July-July, and that they remain in office
until their sucessor is appointed by Council and is qualified. That in
the second meeting' in July, the election of officers should take place.
The officers will hold office for one year~ Stock stated that the
problem was that they looked at their by-laws, they were not consistant
with the charter and the ordinances, and as such stated that the elections
would be held in June. Stock stated that they recommend that Section 1
be amended by them. In this way it would read, "that the commission
would organize elect chairman and vice-chairman from the appointed members
annually at the second regular meeting in the month of July" instead of
June.

sm~h introduced Reents as the Housing Administrator. Smith stated that
Reents has been put in charge of the Housing Administration function.
Reents stated that the applicant is requesting a third unit in which a
duplex is allowed under the Growth Management Quota System in the RMF
Zone. Reents stated that in his memo a correction should be made which
should read Lots C-G as opposed to just Lot G. There is a total of
9000 square feet of lot area. The densities are permitted in the RMF,
a.t however a duplex is exempted under the Growth Management system.
Under Section 24-10.10, employee units are also exempted f~om the Growth
Management System. The applicant proposes to build the third unit in
one side of the duplex, which he could construct ~~right, and is willing
to enter into agreement with the City that it be designated moderate
income housing, deed restricted, and rental price restricted. Reents
stated that the only action that they would have to take is to make a
determination and recommendation to City Council as to in fact it does
meet the requirements of being an employee unit. They should make a
recommendation of either an approval or denial to the City Council.
Pardee stated that he was in favor. But in the letter to the Planning
Office, Mr. Baker indicated that there will be certain duties. What,
might happen is that people would be paying moderate rent but, they
would have to be a babysitter, cook, put shingles on the roof and whatever.
Pardee asked if this question ever came up before, and if it had, what
their position is on this.
Mr. Baker commented on this note. Baker stated that it was a type of
situation in which they trade some services that are really nominal
services to reduce rent to below the guideline rent. It works out for
both parties because in a place this size, it usually lacks on premise
management. So in this case, the person could benefit from reduced
rent, and still hold down a full time job. It works out for the owner
and the employee. Pardee stated that he agreed completely. But, Pardee
commented, in this town where housing is so limited, people would do
anything to get housing.
Hedstrom stated that it could happen on any of these cases.

Jeff Sachs, local attorney, was on hand for a couple of comments. He
stated that in the separate ordinances where they would set the employee
housing rates, why could they not amend that later and say that the
rental charge not exceed so much per square foot. In this way, it would
avoid the abuse that Pardee suggested.
Hedstrom stated that he did not like stipulations or conditions.
Harvey felt that it was important to deal with this problem.
Baker stated that he did not object, but there is a deed restriction and
language. The legal language can be determined.

Hunt moved to recommend exemption from application of the Growth
Management Plan and approval of one additional unit as employee housing
making the project a triplex as described in the Baker application
concerning Lots C-G, Block 61, Original Townsite, provided that this
additional unit comes under the moderate price guidelines for employee
housing and the property deed restricted, otherwise the impact on land
use is within an existing code limits and the addition of an employee
unit as a benefit to the community. Anderson seconded. All in favor.
Motion carried.
Pardee stated that he would like Reents to come back to their next
meeting, so that they could recommend to Council the price and rental
guidelines for three different levels of employee housing to include the
price per square foot. This way, they would never have to worry about
this again.
HILDUR ANDERSON
SUBDIVISION:
Vrchota stated that this application is for an exeption subdivision
proceedures for 1.4 acres of land owned by Hildur Anderson. It is
located on the east side of the Roaring Fork River and south of Cooper.
The proposal is to split off one 6000 square foot lot for sale for a
single family unit. She would retain the rest of the property which would
give her the right to build a duplex. In this area, the property that
is left open may be possibly sold to the City as a park. Basically she
would like to have a more modern residence for her children so that they
could visit her more comfortably. Vrchota stated that there are two
considerations to this and those are 1, conceptual approval and 2,
consideration of an exeption. Vrchota recommends that they do grant
conceptual approval and recommend that to City Council, with several
conditions. The City Engineer does not suspect any problems with the
preliminary plat even though he did not examine it throughly yet. One
of the conditions would be his approval of the plat plus the dedication
of the 20 foot wide trail easement extending along the river edge of
the property. Second condition of the approval would be the payment of
the park dedication fee on the smaller lot. The third condition would
be if there would be condominuimization, then there will be a park
dedication fee on the new unit.
Stock explained for new members that in Ordinance 3 and Ordinance 4 of
1978, City Council under the recommendation of the Planning and Zoning
Commission adopted a policy that there could be no subdivision unless
they have plans for approval. That allowed for the division of a piece
of property that had an existing structure into two lots. The second
lot that is vacant would be restricted into a single family dwelling
unless growth management approval was obtained. Stock stated that they
have done this a number of times. With the lot that is there now, they
have the right to destroy the existing building and build a duplex there.
Stock stated that he would recommend that the park dedication fee be
left'until the time of the building permit is required. The reason is
that they do not know how many bedrooms it would have until the time that
the plans are submitted.
Jeff Sachs, Hildur Anderson's attorney, stated that he would appreciate
it if they would pass it at this time subject to their review or subject
to City Council's 'approval. Sachs felt that it was not fair for her to
pay the park dedication fee. If she would knock down their building,
which is a non-conforming use because it is located wibhin the flood plane
and if she would build a single family residence then basically there
will be no park dedication fee. If she would build a duplex, she would
be increasing the density slightly and the park dedication fee would
increase some also. But as a condition of that lot split, she would be
giving the City a 20 foot easement for almost 400 feet long along the
Roaring Fork River. This cuts off all that developable property along the
river. There is a big value difference between condominuimization and
giving it to the City.
Vrchota stated that, there were several different considerations and
conditions to present, 1. Anderson would like to have permission to
keep the existing structure standing until such time that she would
receive a certificate of occupancy for the new dwelling unit, 2. the
Historical Society would like to examine the potential value of the house
befo~e it would be destroyed. Vrchota suggested that they waive the
requirement to go before the City Council for conceptual approval.
Hunt moved to except from conceptual review before C~ty Council and the
conceptual approval of the Hildur Anderson subdivision allowing the next
planning step being the preliminary plat approval provided that 1, plat
is approved by the City Engineer including approval of the dedication to
the City of a 20 foot wide trail easement extending the length of the
property, 2. park dedication fee to be determined at time of building
permit, and 3. Historical Society be allowed to review the statis of
the old structure, and)( further recommend allowance of occupanCY~O~15
permitted of the new A~d~rson residence, and otherwise there appears to
be little impact on land use for detriment to the public. Pardee
seconded. All in favor. Motion carried.
GETZ SUBDIVISION
EXEMPTION:
Grice stated that Mr. Getz is requesting exemption from the condominuimi-
zation of a duplex located on the east end of Hyman on the cul-de-sac.
The units are not part of the low or moderate income market and have
never been occupied by anyone other than the applicant or members of
his family. The Engineering Department recommended approval without
condition. Stock and the Planning Office recommend that they should
approve the exemption subject to the 6 month minumal lease restrictions
of Section 20-22.
Hunt moved to recommend exempt~n of strict application of the subdivision
regulations with ~ respect~ ~tz duplex located on Lots P&Q, Block
33, East Aspen Addition, provided that the property comes under the
Aspen Municipal Code Section 20-2~ ~h is the 6 month minimum lease,

RESOLUTIONS:
Zoning Enforcement Officer
Sm~h stated that this resolution was in the last meeting,"s packet.
Hunt stated that he was essentially in favor of this resolution. But the
problems are the vagueness with the respect to "staff". They should
come up with some specifics in the area of how many and what is the cost.
It is also vague as to what he administers, what he enforces, and how
he fits in the chain of command.
Smith explained that this was not the Planning and Zoning Commissions
concern, it is the City Council' s concern~ All this resolution'1.is
basically is to make a statement to Council stating that there is a need.
Hedstrom felt that on the second page of the resolution, "staff to
administer and enforce these requirements" and they could leave out the
rest of the paragraph. Smith stated that this would be fine.
Pardee felt that it was the most important part of the resolution, by
being that these are the things that Aspen does that the other cities
do not.

SjCjI Zone Rewrite
July 11, 1979
Subsequent to the consideration of a Code Amendment regarding commercial bakery which came
before the P and Z and Council last fall regarding a proposal to sell over the counter goods in
the SjCjI district, the Council asked the Planning Office to prepare revisions to the SjCjI zone.
These revisions were to be intended to clarify the intent and purpose of the zone district while
more clearly defining the kinds of uses that would be permitted in the zone district. During the
course of the discussions, the Council had noted that the SjCjI district had appeared to go
beyond its original intent, that is, the housing of service commercial and industrial uses.
Council went as far as to direct the administration to evaluate the existing uses there to see if
any had been established illegally or had established increased retail aspects of the uses beyond
the original building approval.
The Growth Management Plan has as one of its goals balance between new businesses,
population, housing, community facilities, and skiing. If, in the administrative process, we
were to eliminate any major segment of our economy, then we would lose this vital balance. It
is with balance in mind that the Planning Office submits the following comments with regard to
revisions to the SjCjI zone.
The Planning Office today feels very strongly about preserving the integrity of the SjCjI
district as a haven for limited industrial and limited commercial uses. A quick look at the use
list demonstrates that the uses permitted are allowed nowhere else in the City. Plumbing
service, builders I supply, lumber yard, sporting goods manufacturer, to name just a few, are lower
in volume, less traffic generating and consequently can only pay lower rents. From a land use
standpoint, it makes sense to separate the high volume, tourist-oriented commercial from the
lower volume service commercial that is the backbone of the community. It is essential to
reserve places solely for such uses; otherwise in a highly competitive tourist economy these uses
will outbid those uses straight out of town. We have permitted competitive high volume uses
right next door to the SjCjI zone in the Trueman Center and thus the pressure is on for
spillover of daily traffic generators from the neighborhood commercial zone. Today requests
abound for new quasi-service commercial uses because it is apparent to many retailers that the
lower Mill Street area will soon emerge as a high traffic area and therefore an attractive one
to retail operations. Rents in the SjCjI zone are typically $4 to $5 less than in the adjacent
neighborhood commercial zone, further increasing the deterioration. The Planning Office had
historically supported holding the li~e because the alternative is to lose this special type
-,. of district and the City will lose thrs type of uses. The only other similar district now in
existence is the B-2 at the Airport Business Center. That too is becoming so competitive that
many limited industrial type uses are now coming to us and asking us to create an industrial
district somewhere in the County. We feel strongly that we should not foster that kind of
pressure by permitting dilution of the City's SjCjI zone.
Therefore, the Planning Office has consistently recommended against approval of businesses
for the SjCjI zone which sold frequently or daily bought items. Those.:Uses."belo~g:.in:t.he
neighborhood commercial zone. We feel that retail selling businesses allowed in the SjCjI zone
should be limited to those businesses selling less frequently bought items so that service and
manufacturing type businsses are not driven out. We feel that the key to preserving the zone
is to prohibit high traffic generators. High volume businesses bring in high traffic which is
a direct cause of rent increases.
In order to facilitate the preservation of the SjCjI zone district and thos service and
manufacture type businesses, the Planning Office recommends amendments to the Code in the followin~
areas:
1. The stated intention of the SjCjI zone needs to be amended to make clear the intentions
of limiting it to businesses that generate less traffic. We suggest amending the
intention of the SjCjI zone to read: "To allow for the use of land AND THE PRESERVATION
OF limited commercial purposes and limited industrial purposes, with 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 the
service or commercial buildings or adjacent thereto as conditional uses."
- Du'ey -
2. The permitted uses list in the Code contains a final phrase which describes what limited
industrial means. That phrase reads as follows, "...provided that no permitted uses
creates an unusual traffic hazard, noise, dust, fumes, odors, smoke, vapor, vibration,
glare or industrial waste disposal problem." It would seem appropriate to add qualifi-
cations for limited commercial uses to the end of this same phrase. We recommend that
the last phrase in the permitted USe list be amended to read "provided that no,permitted
uses._creates an unusual traffic "hazard, noise, dust, -fumes, odors, smoke, vapor, I
vibration,__91are or industrial waste disposal problem; AND PROVIDED THAT NO PERMITTED
USE::LWILL.SELL DAILY OR FREQUENTLY ,BOUGHT ITEMS TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC." : (The phrase
"to the General Public" was inserted so as to make it clear that uses will be allowed
which serve the daily or frequent needs of'service industries, i.e., plumber's supply,
auto parts store, builder's supply, etc.)
3. Several changes need to be made to the list of permitted uses for clarification. We
suggest adding the word "Industrial" in front of the dry cleaning plant and laundry so
as to indicate that we are not talking about coin operated laundromats or commercial
laundries. Secondly, we recommend that FULL SERVICE GAS STATION be a conditional use
in the Zone in order to -distinguish..it; from"a SQlf. s~rv:ice: gas station.
We have discussed these proposed amendments with the building inspector and with his
assistants who have charged with administration of the zone districts. Both the building
inspector and the Planning Office feel that with these proposed amendments the zone could be
more easily and correctly administered in such a way as to result in its preservation.
In addition, Council asked us to consider an amendment to the definition of "commercial
bakery", which now permits production and wholesale sale of baked goods, but excludes over-the-
counter or retail dispensing of baked goods. It appears to us that the proposed restriction on
frequently bought items is consistent with the definition of commercial bakery and its location
in the S/C/I zone. We therefore recommend no change.
