APPLICANT: Ryanco Partners, LTD. XVI, represented by Roland Parker LOCATION: 121 South Galena, Aspen ZONING: CC - commercial Core APPLICANT'S REQUEST: According to the sketch submitted in the application, three four-person umbrella tables will be located in the triangular area in front of the lease space formerly occupied by Godiva Chocolate. Please see Exhibit "A". It was explained to staff that the anticipated tenant of the interior space will be a gourmet coffee shop selling whole-bean and brewed coffees, as well as scones baked off-premise. REFERRAL COMMENTS: Complete comments are attached as Exhibit , \ If~". \ zoning: Bill Drueding stated that the outdoor area currently under consideration was approved for bench seating as part of a Growth Management project when the entire building was proposed. The benches were not installed. It is pointed out that the original plan called for a restaurant in the space being occupied by Zele. However, the GMP application was amended to exclude restaurant square footage and reduce trash service area. This resulted in a refund of around $40,000 in mitigation fees for employee housing. It must be noted that the space to be occupied by Zele cannot be used as a restaurant (as per the definition of "Restaurant" in the Land Use Code) unless employee mitigation and trash service area is re-studied. Please see Exhibit "C" for definition of "restaurant". In additional conversation with Mr. Drueding, he mentioned that any outdoor signage (on the building or table umbrellas) must comply with the city's sign regulations. Historic Preservation Committee Roxanne Eflin forwards the following comments: Because the proposal is in the Commercial Core Historic District, the HPC must review the proposal as a Minor Development. Generally, the HPC looks posi ti vely upon pedestrian/street activity, provided the furniture is compatible with the character of the Commercial Core Historic Distri,ct. I see no problem with the application in general design terms. ,~ f b~ .-., --.. STAFF COMMENTS: Pursuant to Section 3-101, required open space may be used for commercial restaurant use if the commission determines that such use is compatible with or enhances the purposes of these open space requirements and that adequate pedestrian and emergency vehicle access will be maintained. This proposal is not being made in conjunction with a "restaurant", which is defined by the Land Use Code as having indoor food preparation and service. However, staff determined that the same review criteria should be utilized. The applicant proposes to place up to three four-person umbrella tables in the plaza area in front of the mixed commercial building. General public seating will be allowed. Staff believes that the proposed tables and chairs can be placed in the proposed area without interfering with pedestrian circulation on the sidewalk or to/from the doorways into the building. Currently the front of the building is under-utilized. The original Growth Management proposal (which had included restaurant space) had this area designed as a plaza with seating. So in effect, the current request recalls the original intended use of the space. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of up to three four- person tables and chairs in the plaza of the Godiva Building with the following conditions: 1. The applicant must receive Minor Development approval from the HPC prior to placement of the tables and chairs. 2. The seating shall be available for general pUblic use. Specific placement shall be only within the subject property lines and shall not interfere with sidewalk traffic or access into the two doorways into the building. 3. The lease space occupied by Zele cannot be a "restaurant" as defined by the Land Use Code unless the requirements for employee mitigation and trash service area reviewed and met. 4. Outdoor signage on the building or on the table umbrellas must comply with the City's sign regulations. RECOMMENDED KOTION: I move to approve Special Review to allow three four-person tables and chairs in the approved open space at 121 S. Galena, with the four conditions recommended in the May 5, 1992 Planning Office memo.

They were charged for employee mitigation and trash areas. They later amended their GMP application to replace the restaurant with retail space and, thus, about $40,000 was returned and the trash area reduced. They also amended their landscape plan to include the benches which were never put in place. They may need to amend their landscape plan. Tables or benches outside for commercial use would be prohibited in this open space unless adjacent to a restaurant, which I assume this will not be. If they prepared and served food inside, we would have to look at the use. stoves, hood vents, seating, etc., would trigger a look. ~.~/ v'6 f"""'.,. ,-'" MEMORANDUM To: Kim Johnson, City Planner Off.i_Cerk.- From: Roxanne Eflin, Historic Preservation Re: 121 S. Galena - outside seating Date: April 6, 1992 ----------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------- The outside seating request for 121 S. Galena requires a Minor Development review approval by the HPC. An application must be completed which shall include the review fee of $100. The item will be scheduled at the first HPC meeting possible following receipt of a complete application. Generally, the HPC looks upon pedestrian/street activity as positive, provided the street furniture is compatible in character to the Commercial Core Historic District, and generally meets the guidelines. Plastic has not been approved in the past. Material quality is a large consideration. I see no problem with this application in general design terms, provided the applicable Development Review standards are met. s9 /""". ~ PLANNIl& ZONING COMMISSION I/crl EXHIBIT , APPROVED ASPEN CODE 19 _ BY RESOLUTION ~ 3.101 , exercise room, playground and playfield activity center or club house.

Space "A", in the 121 So. Galena Building is currently vacant, and formerly occupied by the Godiva Chocolate Company. The space is currently approved for retail use, and will continue in this use with a tenant moving in soon. The space was originally approved as a restaurant use under the name of the "Storehouse Building", but the developers amended the zoning for the space before the building was completed. The number of employees in the new tenant's business will be in line with the previous tenant's business. The new tenant will sell specialty coffees, coffee makers and coffee accessories. He will also sell brewed coffee and scones. The scones will not be prepared at this location. The building owners would like to gain approval for the tenant in Retail Space "A", in the 121 So. Galena Building to place a few small tables and chairs outside the shop, in the open space, for customer use in the warmer months. There would be no food or beverage service in this area.

The seating situation we are requesting would be very similar to the corner seating for the Paradise Bakery on the corner of Galena and Cooper Streets. Like the Paradise, we would like to have this outdoor area so that customers from the Retail Space "A" and anyone else that so chooses, can have a nice place to sit and drink a cup of coffee, read the paper, etc. We feel that this use would enhance the "neighborhood" feeling of the area. ('"""\. ~ . ..-. - ATTACHMENT 4 The building is situated on the Northwest corner of Galena and Hopkins streets. Open space is configured in a primarily triangular shaped area, incorporating sidewalks and pedestrian access to the corner Retail Space "A", and the office and basement entrance on the West end of the building. The material is exposed aggregate concrete extending from the building edge to the curbs of the City street. Maple trees are placed at grade level, with grates around the 130 perimeter of the South and East edges of the . property. Brick planters with evergreens and seasonal flowers line the outside walls of Space "A", as well as the cinder block wall to the West which separates the Building and the Thrift Shop. The Partnership wishes to gain approval to enhance this open space with public seating and small tables outside Retail Space "A", so that the open space would serve a more effective use, tying the building needs with a pedestrian court-yard area at the corner of the property. This seating use would not be a proprietary use of the tenant in Retail Space "A", but rather a pedestrian gathering place, which we feel would enhance the open space with a public character.
