Special Meeting
Aspen Planning and Zoning Commission
May 29, 1979
The Aspen Planning and Zoning Commission held a special meeting on May 29, 1979,
at 12:00 Noon in the City Council Chambers. Members present were Charles Collins,

Also present was Joe Wells of the Planning Office.
Resolution
Aspen Institute
Chairman Collins called the meeting to order to consider
the fourth draft of the SPA Resolution for the Aspen
Institute. He called for comments, corrections or changes.
Klar called for the last sentence in Sec. 1, b to be
changed to read ...."an exemption would be considered
because the Institute property was not included in the
original calculations of the Growth Management Plan and
because of the academic nature of the facility among other
reasOns". Collins cited the sixth Whereas on page one and
recommended a change to read ...."and a low-density
residential neighborhood to the South and East". Also
on page 8, Section 1, the second sentence of the second
paragraph shall be stricken.
Collins wanted to insert language allowing no further sub-
division of the land as a condition of SPA approval to
insure the continued use of the land. It was agreed to
let Ron Stock determine the exact language and placement.
Wells pointed out the language should be in the body of thE
resolution and not in the Whereas section.
Klar noted in Section 4, a, 1 in the first sentence the
words full day should be added in the first sentence befor,
group meetings and before program development. Hedstrom
through this would confuse the community oriented fuctions
which are not full day. Collins will ask Ron Stock what
the importance is of this phrase.
Schuhmacher questioned how to enforce the zoning. From a
practical standpoint it is hard to enforce the zoning.
Hedstrom commented that the administration and enforcement
of the zoning is not our concern.
Collins cited the reference in Section 1, 2 to the bus
system at the Aspen Club. The consensus is the system
should be similar to that recommended to the Aspen Club.
Anderson recommended the change of the sentence to read
"on a similar basis as that originally proposed to service
the Aspen Club".
Anderson moved to adopt the SPA Resolution for the Aspen
Institute property as submitted on the fourth draft and as
amended on May 29, 1979, Klar seconded. Collins cited
the memo dated May 30, 1979: 1) the 356 rooms seem too
commercial; 2) the adverse impact on the City and the
neighborhood are not adequately answered; 3) the approval
of 356 units is irreconcilable with the concern and in-
terest of the Growth Management Plan; 4) the intents
and purposes of the Institute are insufficient guarantees
regarding the use of the property. The impact on the
residential neighborhood and the concern for employee
housing. Collins felt these basic concerns have not been
answered and should be prior to approval. Hedstrom com-
mented that the concerns for him have been answered by the
most recent submittal. There being no further discussion
the roll was called; Schuhmacher, aye; Hedstrom, aye;
Harvey, aye; Klar, aye; Anderson, aye; Collins, nay.
Motion approved.
Klar moved to adjourn the meeting, Harvey seconded. All
in favor, motion approved. Meeting adjourned at 1:05 PM.
