TO: The Aspen Planning and
Zoning Commission
Mr. Cantrup has not asked nor have we given him, "permission to place the
retention system on (our) adjacent property", as required in the Schnabel
Report, which concerns the tieback system. If Mr. Cantrup does not use tieback
but instead internal rakers, his engineering plans are of no concern to us,
except insofar as you determine they are structurally sound.
However if the recommended tieback system is used, and it is the best system,
it will extend as far as 20 feet into our property. In that event, before
granting permission for tieback right-of-way, we would first require a perform-
ance bond in the amount of $100,000 payable to us in case of damage to our house,
or in the event that Mr. Cantrup does not conform precisely to predetermined
specifications. These specifications should include a stamp of approval by
Schnabel on all engineering work as well as approval by Dr. Charles Robinson,
wromwe have retained as a consulting engineering geologist. He wishes to inspect
the site at the time that forms are pulled and the tiebacks tightened and before
any structure is built on top or there is fill. Secondly, we respectfully
request a detailed final roof design. Since Mr. Cantrup, for economic reasons,
is using every square inch of his property and it might indeed include required
use of our property for tiebacks, and because we have spent several thousand
dollars investigating this Cantrup Project, we feel that we should be allowed
to consider the architectural plans for the roof which will be approximately 10
feet from our balcony and 5 feet below.
We also believe the
and request a right
from our property.
for landscaping our
retaining wall will affect the natural grade and planting,
to approve the design of the wall, insofar as it is visible
We also believe Mr. Cantrup should provide adequate top soil
side of this wall.
Mr. Cantrup's foreman, Mark Danielson, has verbally promised me that HBC has
made arrangements to remove the horrible power pole. We feel this is a plus
in Mr. Cantrup's plans and we are willing to cooperate with him to our mutual
advantage if he constructs the wall in a reasonable time and in strict conformity
with specified and preapproved engineering plans, and as long as he takes into
account our concerns as to roof and wall design.
If these matters are not legally addressed and guaranteed by a performance bond,
we see no reason to grant permission for a tieback system.
Sincerely,
\(-tl'\\.-- C~~~\..'-'(,)\VVv,-----

DRAFT: 700 S. Galena Preliminary Plat
Applicant's agreement for the benefit of surrounding
and nearby property owners
The Commission's approval of the applicant's Preliminary
Plat is conditioned upon the applicant's agreement to the
following.
1. During and subsequent to excavation for the
project the applicant will allow the City Engineering Department
and/or landowners within 400 feet of the project site to
conduct at reasonable hours and in a manner occasioning as
little inconvenience to constructIDon as possible, soil and
water tests on the project site to determine if any condition
not determined by prior tests exists which, directly or
indirectly, would adversely affect surrounding and nearby property,
including diversion of underground water resulting in decreased
support.
2. If any such condition is indicated by such a test, the City
Council, this Commission, and/or the Building Department of
the City of Aspen may halt the applicant's projec~ immediately
and prevent further excavation or construction until this
Commission, at a hearing held within ten (10) days of the
stop work order, is satisfied that such condition, not known
to the Commission at the time of Preliminary Plat co~ditional
approval, will not cause damage or danger to the project
or surrounding and nearby property, and/or ad~quate measures
will be taken to eliminate any such damage or danger. The Com-
mission may require changes in construction of the project to
accommodate the newly discovered condition which may
,
increase the project's cost to the applicant. Instead of
making the required changes in construction, the applicant
may elect to discontinue the project, immediately making the
project site safe and attractive and correcting any condition
which constitutes a danger to the project or surrounding or
nearby property.
3. The applicant acknowledges the difficulty of
construction on the project site and agrees to compensate
any person damaged by reason of flooding, mudslide, loss
of land support, erosion or ather injury occasioned directly
or indirectly by its excavation and construction; the applicant
shall have strict liability, i.e., liability notwithstanding
lack of negligence on the part of the applicant, for all
damage occasioned by its project's creation on the site.
The ~~?nning and Zoning Commission may enforce this paragraph
by enjoining work on the project if the applicant fails to
make compensation under this paragraph; the Commission shall
conduct a hearing, granting the aggrieved landowner and the
applicant notice and an opportunity to be heard,-on the
issue of noncompliance prior to issuing a stop order under
this paragraph. Nothing in this paragraph is intended to
preclude any other remedy for damage available to any aggrieved
party, by reason of any matter addressed in this paragraph.
4. The applicant shall purchase insurance in the amount
of $ , naming the surrounding and nearby
landowners of the project as beneficiaries, which shall
pay benefits cotaem fQD,~amage to their property ar~sing from
the excavation and/or construction of the applicant's project.

for one year all such improvements that may be accepted by the
,City under section 20-16.
4. Construction on the 700 South Galena phase of the
joint project must begin as early in 1982 as is practicable,
allowing for the spring soil conditions. The Subdivider
acknowledges thc~t he is 'bound by the construction completion
schedule and permit e>:pira tion provisions found in Section
7-141(d) of the Aspen Hunicipal Code (which amends Section
302(d) of the Uniform Building Code). Subdivider also agrees
that prior to delivery to him of the building permit (although
the permit ~ay be issued) either (i) Subdivider's contractor
shall purchase, execute and be bound by a performance completion
bond, or (ii) Subdivider himself will obtain such a bond as
required by the final plat approval of the Aspen City Council.
Any such completion bond shall be sufficient to complete the
project as approved upon default of either Subdivider or his
contractor and shall name the City as a beneficiary and a copy
shall be delivered to the City. If Subdivider violates said
Section 7-l4l(d), then the Subdivider, in addition to the
penalties provided under that section, shall pay to the City as
liquidated damages $200.00 per day for each day he is in
,violation of the provisions of Section 7-l41(d) ,even if such
violation is excused or a variance granted therefore by
appropriate City official? or boards. Such damages have been
agreed to between the parties hereto as required to mitigate the
impact on the neighborhood caused by such delay in construction.

5. Subdivider acknowledges that final plat appreval for
this Project (and prior preliminary approvals) creates no right
of reasonable reliance as to a favorable determination or other
independent approvals required including, but not limited to, a

700 South Galena Street Orihect
Project Description
The project site is primarily vacant land with one small dwelling unit
that shall be removed prior to construction. The site is flat and does
not contain any significant vegetation, The 700 South Galena Street
Project is located within the L-2 zone, where residential multi-family
dwelling units are a permitted use, Surrounding land uses are a mix of
lodges, commercial facilities, multi-family and single family units.
Immediately surrounding complexes are the Tippler Inn and Lodge, Continental
Inn, Alpenblick Inn, and Durant Condominiums.
The proposed project consists of sixteen (16) residential multi-family
units and one (1) employee unit. All the multi-family units consist of
one bedroom apartments. The sixteen one-bedroom units are located in seven
3-story high columns, each accessible via elevator and stairwell, from the
parking garage. The three units on the north end are 1,140 square feet each.
All other units are 1,310 square feet each, The two southernmost columns
contain three units each one story in height. The other five columns contain
only two units, each unit having a twelve foot high ceiling,
The employee unit is a one bedroom apartment located on the terrace level
of the project. There is a child care facility located in the project on
the terrace level. Twenty six parking spaces are located underground, and
one surface parking space has been added near the trash facilities toward
the south end of the property. This was done to accommodate a previous
agreement between June and Hans Cantrup that ten parking spaces be allowed
on the Galena property for the Continental Inn. This agreement has been
rewritten and executed so as to allow those ten (surface) parking spaces
to be located in the underground parking garage. Inasmuch as the project
requires 17 parking spaces, and the agreement reserves 10 parking spaces,
the 27 spaces provided satisfies all requirements.
Trash facilities have been located toward the southern end of the property,
immediately accessible from Galena Street.
The driveway ramp has been modified to improve traffic flow to and from
the underground parking garage. This has been accomplished by changing
~l'_'-":'.~."
the slopes for eas i er" reduction of turns on the ramp for eas i er maneuveri ng ,
and provision of a ramp walk for pedestrians. As mentioned in the previous
submission. the ramp will contain a snow-melting system.
The adjacent property owners strongly urged the elimination of the rooftop solar
Project Description (cont'd)
Page 2
due primarily to visual impacts. Studies by solar consultants (Dr. James Brooke
of Colorado Engineering Associates) done to date have indicated the inefficiency
of such a solar system due to the project's location. Consequently, the
Planning and Zoning Commission has approved the Preliminary Plat with the con-
dition that solar panels be eliminated, and roof insulation be increased to
maintain energy efficiency. The applicant agrees with this approach and is
willing to comply. The applicant is willing to accept the other conditions as
set forth in the Planning and Zoning Commission approval.
In accordance with Section 19-102, "variations in curb cuts allowed for unusual
conditions," it is requested that the City Engineering Department grant the 700
South Galena Street Project a variance from the requ'irements of Section 19-101
(e) (2). The request is to allow two (2) eighteenfoot wide curb cuts. Special
conditions exist with regard to both the particular land parcel and project
development that necessitate the additional curb cut. The project site is only
accessible from Galena Street. The parcel does not have any alleys or other means
of access. The project development needs the additional curb cut to provide access
to the underground parking garage which maintains parking in a safe, protected
area that creates absolutely no visual impact or additional pavement. The first
curb cut provides easy access to the trash facilities and the only surface
parking space of the entire project. For these reasons the variance is needed.
and the engineering department suggests that we request such approval at this time.
Where depth of excavation and soils require it, shoring techniques of either tie-
backs or internally braced systems shall be employed. A geo-technical engineering
firm is being retained to engineer the system.
The review process has thus been able to refine and improve the project in several
areas. The additional studies requested and completed show conclusively that the
project is appropriate as planned and that shoring and construction techniques are
sufficient to protect adjacent property owners and build the project as designed.

Ref.: 700 S. Galena Project
Dear Sir:
I have recently been in telephone contact with
Mr. Jeff Franke, Electrical Engineer, Holy Cross Electric
Association, Glenwood Springs, Colorado, regarding an
apparent interference between the 700 S. Galena project
and an overhead electrical distribution line running south
from the corner of S. Galena and Dean St. through the
property,
Mr. Franke has confirmed that the line is owned by
Holy Cross and that their present plans call for the
removal and relocation of this line. The new proposed
location of this line will not interfere with the 700
S. Galena project.
It is highly recommended by C.E.A. that the construction
schedule for the proposed project (700 S, Galena) be coordi-
nated with Holy Cross to assure that the line will be moved
before the project construction proceeds,
Holy Cross has requested a copy of the basement electrical
plan and the electrical one-line so that they might prepare
an estimate and the purchase of the site transformer and
incoming electrical service. Please advise,
Sincerely,

Continued Meeting
Aspen City Council
March 24, 1982
Councilman Collins said the city is being asked to give up one more thing in this case;
either funds for condemnation or give up land. Councilman Collins said this is cornororni-
sing the growth management plan if the deal includes 6,000 square feet of additionai
office space. Mayor Pro Tern Michael said she felt the C1ty was not giving anything up
but facilitating for a public use that makes economic and cultural sense for the community.
Councilman Collins said the voters have to decide whether to trade or what. Chapman
reiterated that the question of condemnation or of trading for Cap's will have to go to
the voters. Phoebe Ryerson said she wished the Council would allow the office space to
be in the jail building. Mayor Pro Tern Michael said two Council were for the land trade
and two on Council were for condemnation.
Richie Cohen asked that the election be scheduled as soon as possible so that the Arts
West will know which way to go and can start fund raising. Cohen requested that just the
question of land trade be on the ballot. City Attorney Taddune submitted an ordi~ance
which sets the date of the special election for June 15, 1982. This ordinance outlined
five possible questions to be submitted to the voters. Cohen said he felt this land
trade is important enough to be considered alone. This should be put to the voters in
a straightforward manner and not have to compete with other questions like selling the
Wheeler, selling Castle Ridge, hig?way through Thomas property.
Chapman reminded Council they had voted three to two at Monday night's meeting to have
only two questions on this special election ballot; the Charter amendment and Cap's land
trade. Mayor Pro Tern Michael said these two issues are the ones farthest along; the
other questions cannot be structured to have at the same election. Mayor Pro Tern Michael
said she would like an election on the Charter amendment and the resolving of the Cap's
Auto property, whichever way the majority of Council wants to present it to the v0ters,
as soon as practically possible. Councilmembers Knech~, Parry and Collins agreed.
Taddune asked Council if they wanted the question regarding the Thomas property on this
ballot. Councilmembers Parry, Knecht and Mayor Pro Tern Michael said no. Councilman
Collins said if there is time to draft the questions, the Council should take care of
whatever questions at one election. Councilman Knecht said he felt there were too many
political implications regarding the Thomas property to put this on the same ballot.
Councilman Parry moved to read Ordinance #14, Series of 1982; seconded by Council~an
Knecht. All in favor, motion carried.

April 12, 1982
Commissioner Klanderud called the joint meeting together at 4:00 p.m. with Commissioners
Child, Blake, Kinsley and Madsen and Councilmembers Michael, Parry and Mayor Edel present.
1. Ruedi Reservoir Hydropower Study. City Manager Chapman told the Boards the Bureau
of Reclamation wishes to establish procedures for conducting the feasibility study. They
are aSking the city and county to agree to those procedures. The principle points are
recogni tion of the Bureau's unprograntred costs. for theparticipation in the hydropower feasibility
study; also, the access to the site and what the obligations are and limitations.
Chapman said the most notable issue is financial, which is the city and county would
agree to reimburse the BOR for their unprogrammed costs. The engineers estimate this is
in the area of $2,000. Thses would come from the BaR reacting to reqUEsts for informa-
tion they would 'not normally give out. Commissioner Klanderud asked what this would
cover. Chapman said this $2,000 would cover copying costs, employees' time for preparing
information the city requires.
Commissioner Child asked bout item 4 on page 6, that the Bureau is in the process of
marketing water from Reudi for municipal, domestic, and industrial purposes and asked
the agricultural purposes be added to the list. Chapman said he did not think there
would be a problem. Ms. Klanderud asked if this cost had been anticipated. Chapman said
no; it is the city's position that the BOR should not be charging anything~ The city1s
engineers negotiated with the BaR and felt it was more important to get the study going
than to hold out for $2,000. Basically, the city will carry the costs.

Mayor Edel said he was surprised the city was handling the costs. Chapman said when the
Board of County Commissioners and the City Council asked the managers to fast track this
program, the best source of financing ~he feasibility study was the city's electric fund.
The electric fund will be the first repayee out of any receipts.
Councilwoman moved to direct the city and county managers to enter into an agreement with
the Bureau of Reclamation establishing procedures for the Ruedi Reservoir Hydropower
Feasibility study with the amendment of adding the word agricultural on page 6, section
4 after the word industrial; seconded by Councilman Parry. All in favor, motion carried.
2. Short term accommodations in Metro area. The planning office submitted to the Boards ;[
a draft report dealing w~th short term accommodations in the community. The purpose of
this on the agenda is to explain what the report is, why the planning office did it, how
to use it. The purpose of the report was to assemble in one place everything the plannin9
office knows about the short term accommodations in the communtiy. The report addresses ;:
the existing inventory, the location and physical characteristics of current lodges, and .
the relationship between ski capacity and the lodge base. Vann said this report contains
a number of assumptions based primarily on approved reports to date. This report devel-
ops a model to use -to talk about ski capacity i~ relationship to lodge base.
Vann told the Boards that through the work session process, the planning office would like
to develop consensus of opinions on the conclusions drawn by the planning office.
From that point, the planning office would begin specific recommendations either regula-
tory, policy plan amendments, growth management issues. Vann said regarding non-conform-
ing lodges, one conclusion is that smaller lodges have a very viable place in the commun-
ity. There are certain problems associated with them remaining as a viable influence.
There are recommendations that could improve their position in the C0rnmunity.
Mayor Edel said most of the conclusions in the report are general in nature except one
on page 40, first paragraph regard~ng ski area expansion. Vann said this is a conclusion
based on the adopted policies already in effect. Richman said one of the reasons for
this conclusion is it leads along to the next conclusion regarding the need for moderate
amount of lodging expansion and the location of this expansion. Richman told the Boards
this will be presented to both P & Z's the next-night.
3. Resolution Supporting New Clean Air Act Bill. Tom Dunlop asked the Boards support
the Clean Air Act; it is in jeopardy of being destroyed. There are currently two bills
in the House of Representatives. Without the support of communities, there is a chance
the less wanted bill will pass. Dunlop pointed out that Aspen and Pitkin County are
dependent on the environment, and the environmental health department feels it is necessary
to give formal requests to congress to support HR 5555 and to oppose HR 5252.

Aspen, Pitkin County, the State and the nation enjoy clean air,
NOW, THEREFORE, HE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ASPEN,
COLORADO, AND THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF PITKIN COUNTY, COLORADO:
1. On behalf o,f the citizens of the City of Aspen, Colorado, and the
residents of Pitkin County in Colorado, the City Council and County Commissioners
hereby express their support for the' Waxman bill, HR 5555, which they deem
essential to avoid pollution and the problems caused thereby, and their strong

was read by deputy city clerk Beall
Commissioner Kinsley moved to approve Resolution #11, Series of 1982; seconded by Council-
woman Michael. All in favor, motion carried.
4. Petition for and Agreement on Jail property. County Attorney Stuller presented an
agreement regarding the jail property. The county payments out to date on the aden
property are $98,553. Ms. Stuller said in the event the aden property reverts, the city
should be compensated for any payments made while the city holds the property. Ms. Stuller
asked that the county approve any terms the city may renegotiate during the time the city
holds the Oden note. Ms. Stuller told the Boards it is undecided whether or not an
election will be necessary to convey the property on the Rio Grande.
Ms. Stuller suggested if the aden property reverts back to the county, perhaps the city
should be released from the obligation to give the county office space on the Rio Grande.
Councilwoman Michael moved to approve the agreement between the City of Aspen and the
Board of County Commissioners on a land exchange, pending the City Attorney's approval
and with the proposed amendments; seconded by Councilman Parry. All in favor, motion
carried.
Corr~issioner Kinsley moved for petition for vacation and acceptance of the agreement;
seconded by Commissioner Child. All in favor, motion carried.
COUNCIL MEETING
ACCOUNTS PAYABLE
Councilwoman Michael moved to approve the accounts payable; seconded by Councilman Parry.
All in favor, motion carried.
CITIZEN PARTICIPATION
1. David White said he had listened to many conversations about transportation and
several years ago people said they wanted a light rail system. Now the Council is dis-
cussing putting a bridge across Castle Creek for cars. White said he would like to see
something done about light rail. Mayor Edel said the subject of light rail was subject
of much controversy. White said he did not feel the transporation issue had been
adequately addressed for the 1980's. Counc11man Parry said there is.a transportation
committee which is listing the problems and trying to corne up with some solutions.
Councilwoman Michael said the governments are looking at valley-wide transporation
system.
2. Jack Frye told Council there are a lot of citizens present to talk about the golf
course. Don Horton said the golf association would like to see the greens fees and
season pass laid out so they know what is happening. City Manager Chapman said the staff
has talked with the officers of both golf associations and explained what the greens
fees will be. Chapman said the season pass will be $120, up $20 from 1981 with the
provision that the $20 out of every pass will go directly into a capital improvement fund
for the golf .course. Chapman said the capital improvement program will start this year
and concentrate on putting in trees and benches with some other improvements. For the
first time, the city is going to try is.a person buys a limited local's pass and buys
three of them, after using up the third pass, the person can play for free. This is,
in effect, a seasons pass for $360. ~hapman said the staff does not know what the impact
of this will be. If this takes the golf course in the wrong direction, financially, the
city will discontinue this.
Curt Baar pointed out the golf association had many meetings with the staff at the end
of last season, mainly concerned with t~e fee structure, which made it. impossible for
some people to play the end of the season because they had already spent $300. Baar
said he felt the golfers were being treated very poorly. A citizen suggested rather than
t~ees and benches, ~he golfers want bathrooms. Chapman said that the Plum Tree facility
wl.II be open for thl.s golf season ~ .__i-twill be a first class facility and will have rest-
rooms.

Regular Meeting
Aspen City Council
April 12, 1982
Anne Ferguson asked Council why the tourist prices did not go up the same percentage as
those of the locals. Mayor Edel pointed out the tourist prices went up 22 per cent and the
locals went up 20 per cent. Ray Lucchini sa~d the tourist prices are raised way out of
line from what people can play at other resorts for less money, resorts that are better
and courses that are better. The price of S22 will chase people to other courses. Lucchini
said he would like to see the city make money on the golf course so they can make it a
first class facility. Don Horton presented a list of golf courses with season passes;
Eagle-Vail and Vail have the highest season pass at S250; other courses go as low as S131.
Mayor Edel pointed out that courses that were built years ago have lower operating and
debt service costs.
Bill Martin agreed that the city should be careful not to price the course out of the
business. Chapman said the city is not sure that S22 is the right price; it could be too
high. The city is working on package plans for the golf course. The objective is to
get tourists to play one more round at the golf course. Chapman pointed out that trade
off is that Aspen's course is at 65 per cent capacity; it is easier for locals to get a
tee-time. , A citizen asked why city employees get to play golf free. Mayor Edel said it
is a consideration given to employees that is done in whatever business the employees
are in, such as a discount at a clothes store; meals free in a restaurant. Mayor Edel
suggested the golf association set up a meeting with city staff to go over all the
suggestions. This meeting was set up for Wednesday morning at 10:00 a.m.
COUNCILMEMBER COMMENTS
1. Councilwoman Michael said that Steve Standiford of the local enegery group called and
requested a representative for a group to do an inventory of energy needs. Mayor Edel
said he would cover this.
2. Mayor Edel asked when the Plum Tree starts paying the city. City Manager Chapman said
the city got their first payment of $50,000 on March 17th.
3. Councilwoman Michael moved to put Harry Truscott and the Housing Authority on the
agenda; seconded by Councilman Parry. All in favor, motion carried.
4. Mayor Edel told Council he and Chapman had met with the new owners of the Aspen Skiing
Company to discuss working relationship and each other's problems. Mayor Edel said one
of the city's problem was the lack of money for the Wheeler Opera House. The Skiing
Company has come back with a proposal for the Wheeler. Mayor Edel requested a special
meeting to discuss this offer. Council scheduled a special meeting for Thursday, April
15th at noon.
5. Mayor Edel said he is still confused'about the Cap's issue and where it sits. Chapman
said this issue is still unresolved. Council said they would discuss thi~ at their next
meeting.

HOUSING OFFICE TASK FORCE
Harry Truscott, chairman of the task force on housing office consolidation, told Council
the task force recommended that the three governments take the step towards combination
of the three housing authorities into a single housing authority. The second recommenda-
tion was to appoint five citizens to be the commissioners of the final authority when it
was set up. These people would be given the responSibility to prepare the operating
procedures for the Authority in relation to the governments. Truscott said this group
would put together the budget required for the operation, and prepare the legal documents
to bring about the transfer of authorities to the single housing authority. Truscott
told Council the general reasons for recommending a general authority is that this will
lead to efficiency improvements in the operation of housing authorities. This will reduce
costs be combining the functions of the three authorities into a single authority. The
task force felt that a single authority would look at the total needs of employee housing
with a better chance to determine the overall needs. Truscott said they felt there would
be a better chance of obtaining overall county-wide partnership relationship with the
private sector in the area of employee housing. The task force concluded it Would be
best if the authority were cOmposed of citizens rather than elected officials.
Councilwoman Michael moved to start on a combined housing authority~ seconded by Council-
man Parry. All in favor, motion carried.

ORDINANCE # 11
(Series of 1982)
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTIONS 24-3 and 24-13 OF THE ASPEN MUNICIPAL CODE BY
AMENDING THE DEFINITIONS OF BASEMENT, SUBGRADE AND THE SUPPLEMENTARY REGULATION
FOR MEASURING FLOOR AREA AND FLOOR AREA CALCULATIONS; AND FURTHER AMENDING AREA
AND BULK REQUIREMENTS TO INCLUDE MAXIMUM ALLLOWABLE FLOOR AREAS FOR SINGLE-
FAMILY AND DUPLEX STRUCTURES IN THE R-6, R-1S, R-30, R~40 AND R/MF ZONE
DISTRICTS was read by deputy city clerk Beall
Sunny Vann, planning director, reminded Council ~his ordinance was tabled to include new
recommendations for area and bulk and secondly, to give staff a chance to redraft some
of the language. Councilman Parry asked what happens to peaked roofs in reducing the
height from 28 feet to 25 feet. Vann said this was left exactly the way it was, with the
additional five feet for peaked roofs. Vann presented a graph to illustrate finished
grade of projects for basements, sub-grade and sub-basements. These definitions are already
in the Code. In section 1, the definition of basement was changed to provide for a
primary Use in a residential zone district. SUb-grade space has been exempted because it
will have no additional visual impact.

Aspen City Council
April 12, 1982
Vann told Council that section 2 provides primary use in subgrade space and allows
primary qse in residential zone districts. Section 3 provides more flexibility in
response to criticisms r~ceived from the development community. The Code previously
required a continuous aspect for open space; all open space had to be contiguous, which
precluded the ability to build separate patios on the back of a building.
Vann said section 4 contains the most work. In tracing the evolution of measurement of
floor areas, a number of errors have shown up in the Code. The staff has tried to
explain in a simpler manner how to calculate floor area. Subsection (1) is bascially the
same and changed that floor area calculations will include above grade decks, stairways,
balconies and any area under horizontal projection of a roof or balcony, even though
they are not surrounded by exterior walls when such areas are necessary for the function
of the building.
Vann told Council that p & Z recommended these features be excluded in a building which
principle use is residential; provided, however, those decks and balconies are less than
or equal to 15 per cent of the maximum allowable floor area. In paragraph 3, there is
a recommendation from P & Z to include garages in the calculations when they exceed a
certain basic size; up to a maximum of 600 square feet, garages are excluded. Councilman
Parry asked if this were per dwelling unit. Vann said he would check the P & Z discussion
as it is not clear in the paragraph.
Section 4 deals with calculations in all zone districts and how to measure it regardless
of what the floor area limitation is. Vann explained a language change in this section
to clarify that basement, sub-grade and sub-basement areas meeting the minimum require-
ments for natural light, ventilation and emergency exit for the applicable occupancy group
shall be included. Vann said all sub-grade space in residential zone districts will be
excluded from calculations on the assumption it has no visual impacts as the space is
below ground. There is no physical impact because there will not be additional dwelling
units. In other zone districts this will continue to be counted as it could be used as
lodge rooms, employee rooms. This is the same approach that has been used in the past and
is being clarified here.
Spencer Schiffer asked about a pur~ly residential use in L-2. Vann said since this is
a district rather than R-6 through R/MF, sub-grade space would be counted if it met the
minimum light, access standards. Schiffer pointed out the FAR for R/MF and L-2 are the
same for multi-family; why make this distinction. Mayor Edel asked that the staff address
this point before second reading. Schiffer said in L-I, L-2 and C/L he did not see the
reason for precluding employee housing by having to count space below grade. Vann said
the staff's position is that employee housing is a function of the commercial space~ the
employee housing is provided to compete under GMP and the total square footage is impact
related. There is a break on space with no occupancy; storage, parking, laundry room.

Vann told Council Section 5 is the same~ mechanical spaces in buildings are nat counted in
floor area calculations. Section 6 is a new provision to take into account residential
PUDs now floor area limitations are proposed for residential zone districts. This section
proposes to take all land under PUD and divide by existing and proposed dwelling units to
come up with an average lot size per dwelling unit. With the table, an applicant can
then come up with an average size for an individual residential structure. There is a
new section which reduces the height from 28 feet to 25 feet; p & Z recommended a unified
height limitation in all residential zones. Gideon Kaufman pointed out that R/MF zone is
the only residential zone that allows multi-family structures; reducing the heiqht would
make it difficult to build what was intended, a multi-family structure. Kaufman said
there is a need to keep the 28 feet for multi-family. Vann said the planning office was
concerned about this. The P & Z wanted a uniform height restriction. The 25 foot
limitation would require a developer to go.sub-grade with one floor. This could be
occupied in a residential zone district exempt from the calculations. Al Blomquist, P & Z
member, told Council they were concerned mainly about bulk above grade, and secondly,
about preserving the views.
Vann told Council the next section 7, deals with Council's decision at the last meeting,
which is to adopt a second line for duplex structures, a 7 to 10 per cent increase in the
size of duplexes. Blomquist urged Council not to include a larger line for duplexes as
this may have a serious impact on tearing down smaller Victorians and building duplexes.
Section 8 deals with the concern about being able to expand a non-conforming structure
which has been individually historically designated. Council discussed sections 8 and 9
and asked staff to re-address this before second reading. Robin Molny pointed out that
by excluding sub-grade in the R/MF, this is giving a density bonus from 1:1 to 1-1/2:1
and could be an upzoning. Vann said Council and P & Z have made the determination that
area below ground does not affect the bulk; however, the planning office could support
the request that sub-grade in R/MF be counted.
Councilman Parry said he would like to keep .the height restriction in R/MF at 28 feet.
Mayor Edel said he was for the change to 25 feet; Councilwoman Michael said she would
look at this between now and second reading.
Councilwoman Michael moved to adopt Ordinance #11, Series of 1982; seconded by Councilman
Parry. Mayor Erlel, aye; Councilmernbers Michael, aye; Parry, aye. Mot~on carried.

Ii FINAL PLAT - 700 South Galena
Ii
Alice Davis, planning office, presented the subdivision agreement and the planning office's
Ii review. The conditions of the preliminary plat are included in the subdivision agreement.
,I The subdivision agreement ties together all the conditions and improvements the applicant
if will be required to make. . In the subdivision agreement, numbers 3 and 4 deal with the
improvements guarantee. The city is requiring a guarantee of no less than 100 per cent of
the entire estimated cost of the improvements computed by the city engineer. This can be
done by cash and escrow with the city or with a bank; an irrevocable site draft; a letter
of commitment from a financially responsible lender. The planning office recommends that
this guarantee be done in cash escrow. Mark Danielsen, representing the applicant, objected
to this. The applicant is willing to go along with a performance bond; a cash form of
escrow is a severe hardship for any developer. Danielsen said any of the methods lead to
"~I the same end; Danielsen said they would be glad to get a letter of comrni tment from a
financially responsible lender.

Ordinance #15, Series of 1982, on first reading;
call vote; Mayor Ede, aye; Councilmembers Parry, aye;
Mayor 'Edel asked what happened if this project or applicant went bankrupt. City Attorney
Taddune told Council the Code provides for an irrevocable letter of commitment, which means
if the projects goes bankrupt there will be funds available in order to complete the
improvements. For a cash escrow, the Code provides as the improvements are made, the City
Engineer can authorize release of a certain percentage of the funds. Taddune said the Code
gives the subdivider the option of how to take care of the improvements. Taddune Sj;j at
the P & Z meeting, the applicant indicated they \','Quld be willing to abide by the cq:J: ':.31cnce
of a performance bond. Spencer Schiffer said one of the problems is that the appli:::ant
does not know how much the improvements are going to be, and it could be an exhorbitant
amou~t of money to put up front. .
Taddune told Council that an irrevocable letter of commitment or a site draft gives the
beneficiary of that instrument the obligation to draw on the proceeds. Taddune said he did
not see the difference between a cash escrow and a letter of commitment. The apolicant
said they would give the city an irrevocable letter of commitment or a site draft. Mayor
Edel said nothing will be done on this until the city has a specific figure in the contract,
I, and prior to the issuance of a building permit. Ms. Davis told Council that the performance
bond is a separate issue, which was required by P & Z, to cover the cost of restoring the
project to its original condition. The number that will be reached will be a combination
of the improvements and the performance bond.
j
Ms. Davis went through the changes since Council has seen this, which have been worked out
with the P & Z, planning office and applicant. The first is the roof top solar panels;
there was a lot of neighborhood input into this, that they were blocking views and this
I is a bad site for solar use. The applicant has agreed to provide more insulation to
~:provide as much energy efficiency. The second change is the addition of an another parking
;;space to meet the requirement. There is a requirement to meet Code, which is 17, as well
:1 as an agreement from the past for 10.
Ii Ms. Davis told Council the third change is revision to the entry ramp on the recommendation
I: from the engineering department, This is for an easier flow of traffic; the snow-melting
"i system was in the original application. The fourth change is the location of the trash
II facility, which is also on the recommendation of the engineering department. The fifth
ijchange comes from much discussion at P & z. The applicant had many studies done regarding
,.a lot of site problems, slope, hydrological, geological problems. p & Z required these
Ilstudies so the techniques would be available and the applicant would be held to the
[itechniques, Ms. Davis said the city gets final approval; this is all prior to building
'permit issuance.
Ii Mayor Edel asked what happens if the applicant gives a set of plans but does not build to
i;those specifics. Danielsen said that is why the city has a performance bond.. City Attorney
Taddune said this agreement gives the city a little more protection; this agreement is that
the design has to be approved.by the city. However, even though the city is in their rights
to halt a project which is not being built according to plan, the city could be sued.
Danielsen said with a performance bond, this is two things. There is a performance bond to
raze the project should the developer walk away from the project. There is another bond
for the improvements for the site. City Manager Chapman said this is about "the strongest
agreement the city can corne up with. Chapman said the only way to guarantee the building
is as presented is to build it ourselves.

Regular Meeting
Aspen City Council
April 12, 1982
Ms. Davis said in the subdivision agreement are the requirements put on the GMP amendment
and the obligations of the GMP application. The next decision is whether or not a perform-
ance bond will be required. The other decision is what kind of format this should be in.
Taddune said the performance bond would be in addition to the subdivision improvements
agreement. Taddune told Council at the P & Z meeting he asked the applicant whether they
would have any problems with a performance bond, and they indicated they would not. The
idea is that if the applicant does not complete the project, the performance bond will
return the site back to what it was. Mayor Edel asked the applicant if there was any
problem with this type of performance bond; Danielsen answered no.
J. D. Muller told Council the concern at P & Z by neighbors was that the construction
schedule be adhered to. MUller asked what the applicant would agree to in terms of trigger-
ing the default. Muller said something has to be in the bond as to when this will be
invoked. Ms. Davis said the construction schedule is that outlined in the Code, whiCh is
10 per cent has to be completed every 60 days. Taddune said it should be spelled out in
the performance bond, if the work is not completed the city will have the money and the
ability to return the project to its original state. A citizen said the agreement should
have the specific amounts of work to be done for each 60 days and the amount should be
determined by the city.
Ms. Davis reiterated the changes made by Council. In section 4 it is added that this has
to be met prior to issuance of a building permit. Also in section 4 needs to include that
the final p~rformance bond has to be approved by the city attorney, and some language
regarding the applicant not meeting his obligation that the performance bond would provide
the money for total restoration of the site. The amount will be determined by the city.
Council directed staff to draft a carefully worded motion and table this motion until the
end of the meeting.
SUBDIVISION EXCEPTION - AndreWS/McFarlin
Colette Penne, planning office, told Council the applicants would like approval to condo-
miniumize both buildings. Building A, the masonry bUilding, does not have as many defi-
ciencies as the metal building. Right now, only units in building A would be sold; the
future of building B is not known with the Rio Grande plans; the building mayor may not
be there. If the building is there, they will have condominium approval. They will have
to bring this building totally up to code before any units can be sold. Ms. Penne told
Council the engineering department would like to have a fee title dedication for an 80
foot right-of-way on Mill street. This will take out of some the present parking. This
wold necessitate an entryway change and parking behind the buildings. There are letters
working towards an agreement:
Mayor Edel brought up the paragraph from the city attorney's office stating, "to preserve
the city's right to coordinate the development in that area, perhap3 the purchasers 0=
these individual condominium units might be required in advance of purchase to agree to
relocate if, for instance, a Cap's trade-type proposal is implemented". Ms. Penne explained
the idea behind this is if the Rio Grande plans gets bogged down, the applicant would like
to go ahead and condominiumize the metal building, building B. If these units are sold,
the buyers will purchase them on contingency of moving to equal space in an equal building.
Taddune said this condominiumization should be evaluated on its own merits independent on
the city's plans or intentions.
Councilwoman Michael moved to approve the subdivision exception for the purposes of condo-
miniumization for the buildings located at 410, 412, 414 north Mill subject to the follow-
ing conditions; (I) that the conditions outlined by the P & Z and agreed to by the
applicant are binding; (2) that the compensation issue associated with dedication of the
Mill street right-Of-way be settled by a cooperative effott of the city attorney's office
the city engineering department, the planning office and the applicant in a timely manner;
(3) that the condominiumization agreement indicate that the buildings will be brought up
to Code separately and units cannot be sold in a building until that building has been
brought up to Code requirements; seconded by Councilman Parry. All in favor, motion
carried.
STOPLIGHT AT GALENA AND MAIN
Mayor Edel said he thought this issue had already been decided and that the highway depart-
ment was going to put this light in. Mayor Edel said he has been told the city has a choice.
City engineer McArthur said last year Council decided to have installed two new lights on
Main street. McArthur said if Council does not want the light at Galena and Main, now is
the time to say so. Tom Dunlop, environmental health office, told Council they have checked
with the highway department and have done some calculations to have an idea on any possible
adverse impacts from a fourth street light.
Dunlop told Council with the traffic flows, width of the streets, and local conditions,
if cars were required to stop at an additional stoplight, approximately 60 kilograms
per day of carbond monoxide would be added to the atmosphere. If another stoplight were
added and cars'were required to stop for one cycle, this would add an additional 569 pounds
of carbon monoxide, or relatively four times if the light is not installed. Dunlop said
his department has noticed a disturbing pattern over this winter with the three lights
with the fact that they are not synchronized.
McArthur told Council the equipmen~ has been purchased, is being tested and will be
installed May 3rd. Dunlop said studies in Denver show thqt cars stopping and idling for
one cycle can cause 600/1,000,000 carbon monoxide. Councilwoman Michael said unfortunately
this is late information. The highway department has given Council the count and Galena
and Main is the second busiest intersection. Mayor Edel said when Council first considered
the stoplights on Main, they were not considered in context of everything that will happen
to the Rio Grande. Mayor Edel questioned if now is the appropriate time to put in a light
when major things are happening there.

Aspen City Cowlcil
April 12, 1982
Chapm~n pointed out that the Galena and Main intersection was the intersection that
precipitated the request to the highway department to do a traffic study in Aspen. There
were a lot of people who complained to Council about the Galena and Main intersection and
the need for a stoplight.
Councilmembers Parry and Michael supported the light at Galena. Councilwoman Michael said
she would like to have a season to observe the stoplights when they are synchronized.
Mayor Edel said he was against the light. .
ORDINANCE #9, SERIES OF 1982 - Individual Designation of Historic Properties in already
establ~shed Hlstoric Overlay Zones
Councilman Parry moved to approve Ordinance #9, Series of 1982, on second reading; seconded
by Councilwoman Michael.
.
Mayor Edel opened the public hearing. Colette Penne, 'planning office, presented a memo
discussing parts of the ordinance that were discussed at first reading. These are histor-
ic structures which are in historic districts; they can be indiVidually designated as they
have historic merit on their own. There are some concerns in the planning office regard-
ing GMP; these buildings can convert space to commercial space without going through
GMP competition.
ORDINANCE #12, SERIES OF 1982 - Purchase of Street Sweeper

Councilwoman Michael moved to adopt Ordinance #13, Series of 1982, on second reading;
seconded by Councilman Parry. Roll call-vote; Councilmembers MiChael, aye; Parry, aye;
Mayor Edel, aye. Motion carried.
City Attorney Taddune said Council had discussed limiting the special election to two
issues; the proposed Charter amendment, and the Rio Grande plan, Cap's land exchange
versus a condemnation. Taddune left the ordinance to allow Council the right to submit
further questions, should they feel the necessity to do so. Taddune has called a
special election by ordinance with a Charter amendment on the sale and use of open
space. City Manager Chapman told Council by resolution at the May 10th meeting decide
the wording of the Cap's issue and any other issue they may decide to submit.

ORDINANCE #14, SERIES OF 1982. - Special Electi:on
Taddune told Council the open space people wanted included in the Charter amendment the
"change of use" of open space also. Mayor Edel said that section bothered him and that
is not what Council agreed to. Taddune explained if Council purchased property for open
space and then changed the use would be a circumvention of the original purpose. Council-
woman Michael said this section may interfere with practical matters, like an easement
across a corner of land. Taddune said the open space people wanted this in the Charter
so that future Council's would not change this. Taddune said there is no restriction in
the Charter concerning the change in use in open space lands.
Mayor Edel opened the public hearing. There were no comments. Mayor Edel closed the
public hearing.
Councilwoman Michael moved to adopt

Mayor Edel, aye. Motion carried.

Councilman Parry told Council that Shades of Light wanted to move into town and contacted'
Mason and Morse for available space On.North Mill. This was checked with planning and
zoning to see if this was compatible and was told the business could and there could be
limited retail. Most of Shades of Light's business is wholesale, like the other businesses.
The business moved in and spent money to remodel. The building department .checked on
this and interpreted the lqw differently. Taddune told Council the S/C/I zone does not
allow retail sales. Councilman Parry said there are five businesses there doing limited
retail.
USES IN S/C/I ZONE
Planning Director Sunny Vann told Council this is a service/commercial/industrial zone
district intended to use land for the preservation of limited commercial 'purposes and
industrial purposes with customary accessory uses which do not require or generate high
customer traffic volume. In the permitted uses there is no mention of retail or whole-
sale. Vann read the list of permitted uses. Vann said no one on his staff had told
Mason and Morse that a light shade shop could go in there. Vann told Council this
problem in the S/C/I zone comes up continually. The applicant, Phoebe, told Council that
10 to 13 per cent of her business is in sales; the rest is supported by maintenance men
and companies for replacement and repair.

Regular Meeting
Aspen City Council
April 12, 1982
Phoebe told Council that although her shop looked like a retail shop, there is not much
customer traffic. Vann said the shop was represented to him as being retail; it this is
a service/repair type agency, then there is not a big problem. Councilman Parry said
there are five stores down there that are doing retailing to customers off the street.
Vann said tIlis is a fine line issue; the difference bet~een a doughnut shop and a paint
shop. The Code does say, "provided, however, that no permitted uses sell daily or frequentl
bought items to the general public". Councilwoman Michael pointed out the reason for the
S/C/I zone is for small service or small repair shops can exist in a zone protected from
the high square footage rents in town. Vann said next on the planning office work program
is to go through the use provisions of the Code and come back with recommendations to
Council.
Vann told Council the P & Z has the authority for a use determination hearing; if the
applicant goes to P & Z and is turned down, they may appeal to Council. City Attorney
Taddune said the staff is trying to accommodate the applicant until she can get a clear
reading from P & z. City Manager Chapman suggested tolerating the use until the staff
makes a final decision on the use provisions of t:-le Code. Taddunc said administratively
the ,use is already being tolerated so Council does not need to take action. Chapman said
the applicant may have to go through the P & Z after Council has their use review.
MOTION - 700 SOUTH GALE:IA
Gary Esary, assistant city attorney, told Council the motion is in the form of a direction
as there is no way to completely wrap up the subdivision agreement. Until the engineers
see the plans, they cannot tell what the form of the bond should be and how much it should
be. Esary presented a motion for Council.
Councilwoman Michael moved to approve the final plat for the 700 South Galena street project
including the conditions of the submitted subdivision agreement therefore amended as
follows; (1) paragraph 3 is amended to eliminate the cash escrow option of providing
security thereunder and expressly providing tlle subdivision the options of securing the
required improvements by irrevocable site draft or letter of commitment from a financially
responsible lender; further Council directs that language be added to the paragraph that
any guarantee given by the subdivider under paragraph 3 be in a form and amount approved
by the city attorney and city engineer upon recommendations as to the amount necessary
given by the applicant's consulting engincp.rs; (2) that paragraph 4 shall be amended to
provide that a performance bond be required, that it be executed prior to issuance of a
building permit: that the language of the bond provide for a cash payment to the city
sufficient to allow the city to contract to demolish any construction and return the
property site to grade in its pre-construction conditlon if'tnc applicant's building
permit expires for failure to comply with section 302(d) of the Uniform Building Code as
amended and/or other conditions of the binding city approval and/or the violations of the
conditions of the subdivision agreement. Paragraph 4 further provides that any perform-
ance bond thereunder be in such amount and form as a~proved by the city attorney and city
engineer based upon recommendations as to the amount necessary given by the applicant's
consulting engineers, architects and contractors; further Council authorizes the Mayor
to execute the documents on behalf of the city; seconded by Councilman Parry. All in
favor, motion carried.
Councilwoman Michael moved to continue the meeting to Thursday, April 15, at noon; seconded
by Councilman Parry. All in favor, motion carried. Council left Chambers at 9:00 p.m.

annexation, second approving the water rights lease. Taddune told Council as an inducement
to annexation, the applicant agreed to dedicate the water rights on the annexed property.
In return, the applicant wanted a lease back in order to irrigate the parcel. Taddune

Dear Sunny:
Enclosed please find two letters regarding Unit A-2
and unit A-3, Aspen Club Condominiums, requesting authorization
to add one bedroom to each.
You may recall signing a similar authorization last
November for Unit B-3 at which time I showed you letters which
had been signed previously by Karen Smith.
Since these involve exactly the same type of sit-
uation, would you kindly sign them at your earliest convenience.
If you would please have Kim give me a call I will have some-
bodv stop by to pick them up when they are ready.
Thank you very much for your cooperation.
yours,

fOT one jearall such improvements that may be accepted by the
,City unrler section 20-16.
4. Construction on the 700 South Galena phase of the
joint project must begin as early in 1982 as is practicable,
a~lowing Tor the spring soil conditions. The Subdivider
acknowledges that he is bound by the construction completion
schedule and permit expiration provisions found in Section
7-141(d) of the Aspen Municipal Code (which amends Section
302(d) of the Uniform Building Code). Subdivider also agrees
that prior to delivery to him of the building permit (although

bond, or (ii) Subdivider himself will obtain such a bond as
required by the final plat approval of the Aspen City Council.
Any such completion bond shall be sufficient to complete the
project as approved upon default of either Subdivider or his
contractor and shall name the City as a beneficiary and a copy
shall be delivered to the City. If Subdivider violates said
Section 7-l4l(d), then the Subdivider, in addition to the
penalties provided under that section, shall pay to the City as
liquidated damages $200.00 per day for each day he is in
,violation of the provisions of Section 7-l41(d) ,even if such
violation is excused or a variance granted therefore by
appropriate City officialp or boards. Such damages have been
agreed to between the parties hereto as required to mitigate the
impact on the neighborhood caused by such delay in construction.

5. Subdivider acknowledges that final plat approval for
this Project (and prior preliminary approvals) creates no right
of reasonable reliance as to a favorable determination or other
independent approvals required including, but not limited to, a
Residential Bonus Overlay application or requests for permits,
licenses and easements from the City as provided in paragraph
"l.a." hereinabove, although an REO has always been anticipated
and planned by the subdivider in conjunction with this project
and the 925 East Durant Street site, and such plans made known
to the City of Aspen.
6. The provisions hereof shall be binding upon and shall
inure to the benefit of the Subdivider and the City and their
resp~ctive successors and assigns.
7. This Agreement .shall be subject to and construed in
accordance with the laws ,D_f ,the State of Colorado and the
Municipal Code of the City Hill, _Aspen.
8. If ,any ,cd :;Lire -provi::siuns of this Agreement or any
paragraph, senf:fence, clause, 'phrase, word or section or the
application thereof.in any ci=umstances is invalidated, such
invalidi ty shal,l ,not, i'l.:ffect the validity of the remainder of the

Minutes excerpt
Lee Pardee moved the planning and zoning commission grant approval of the preliminary
plat for 700 South Galena Street Project subject to the following conditions:
(1) in order to insure slope stabilization the following is required; (a) comprehensive
design for both temporary and permanent earth retaining structures with the final
desing reviewed, sign and sealed by a geological engineer and approved by the
engineering office prior to building permit issuance and that all retaining acitivites
be monitored throughout construction; (b) the applicant must obtain permission and
construction easements from affected property owners if deemed necessary by a
structural and geological engineers and approved by the city of Aspen engineer prior
to temporary shoring which extend beyond the subject property boundary; (c) the
applicant shall obtain permission and cooperation from the adjacent land o"mers if
deemed necessary by a structural and geological engineers and approved by the city
of Aspen engineers in order to provide the necessary underpinning of adjacent
building foundations in addition to or as a part of the required storing system.
(2) Prior to issuance of a building permit, the method used for handling both surface
and subsurface drainage during construction and in the permanent final design shallc
be approved by a geotechnical consultant. The design shall! incorporate on-site
retention of storm flows to minimize impacts on downhill property and both during
construction and during permanent channeling of water into the sewer system said water
shall be filtered .
(3) Prior to obtaining a certificate of occupancy, the applicant must fill all obliga-
tions that he commited to in the complete, amended application included but not
limited to the following: (a) 27 per cent of the site shall be retained as open
space; (b) drainage control facilities shall be provided on the site, including
dry wells, retention wells and diversion berm; (c) energy conservation features shall
be incorporated in the building including energy efficient fireplaces, insulation
exceeding regulated standards and gas fired hot water heaters with demand control to
limit energy use and increased R factor on the roof to compensate in an equivalent
fashion to the energy that would have been saved had the original solar panels been
used; (d) social facilities shall be provided within the project, including a child
care center, recycling facilities and an indoor/outdoor pool; (e) site design shall
be as shown in the amended application using a three-story straight line configuration
(f) heated sidewalks shall be constructed along south Galena street; (g) elevators and
stairs shall be provided to serve the three stories from the parking garage; (h) sitp
and building design shall permit unobstructed movement for wheel chair confined or

joint applicant) must be deed restricted to low income and a c/o obtained prior to
obtaining a c/o on the units at 700 south Galena; (j) all other obligations not listed
above but established in the complete amended applciation for 700 south Galena shall
be provided; (k) prior to issuance of a building permit, the plans shall be submitted
to the planning office for confirmation of their consistency with the amended GMP
application as approved by P & Z and City Council.
(4) The applicant recognizes that preliminary plat approval does not signify any accept-
ance, nor create any reliance upon a subsequent RBO on other applications.
(5) Construction on the 700 south Galena street proj ect must start as early in the
spring of 1982 as the soils allow and the applicant must agree to the completion
schedule found in section 7-l41 of the Municipal Code. This schedule indicates that
ten per cent of the total evaluation of the project must completed each 60 days.
(6) The applicant must provide 26 underground parking spaces and one surface parking
space at 700 south Galena.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Aspen City Council
FROM: Alice Davis, Planning Office
RE: 700 S. Galena - Final Plat
Lot Size:
21,602 sq. ft.
L-2
DATE: April 2, 1982
Location:
700 S. Galena Street; Lot 16 and Parcel
Acres Subdivision
Zoning:
Applicant's
Request:
The applicant, H.B.C. Investments, is requesting final plat
approval for 16 free market units and 1 employee unit at 700
S. Galena Street. The applicant received preliminary plat
approval on March 2, 1982.
Engineering
Comments:
The Engineering Department has addressed several items that
are not shown on the plat that should be addressed in the
subdivision agreement. These items include:
1. A building permit should not be issued on the project
until sufficient investigation and design of the
temporary and permanent retaining structures have been
conducted by a geotechnical consultant.
2. If the applicant is to build retaining structures in
the City right-of-way, he must obtain approval from
the City Council to encroach upon the right-of-way. A
construction easement and a license for any permanent
underground structure will also be necessary.
3. If the design of on-site drainage facilities results
in the need for overflow connection to the storm
sewer, the applicant should be required to extend
existing storm sewer facilities up Galena Street to
City specifications.
4. Holy Cross Electric Company has confirmed a willingness
to remove the existing overhead power lines to the
benefit of the applicant and other adjacent landowners.
The applicant, as a result, should be required to
provide any easements that may be necessary in order
to restore underground service to the area.
5. The Engineering Department has approved two 18 foot
curb cuts on Galena Street for this project as Galena
is the only point of access. Due to substantial
underground parking and the resulting low impact on
parking in the surrounding area, the Engineering
Department has no problem with this curb-cut variance.
Building
Department:
The Building Department has stated that a hot tub in the
southeastern corner of the project encroaches upon the
setbacks. The applicant should remove or relocate this hot
tub.
P & Z Action:
Preliminary Plat Approval: The Planning and Zoning Commission
granted approval to the preliminary plat for the 700 S.
Galena Street project on March 2, 1982 subject to the 6
conditions found in the attached excerpt from the minutes of
Memo: 700 S.

the P & Z meeting. In summary these conditions deal with 1)
slope stabilization, 2) surface and subsurface drainage, 3)
the obligations of the amended GMP application, 4) preliminary
plat approval does not create any reliance on a subsequent
RBO application, 5) a construction completion schedule and
6) parking. P & Z also approved the attached resolution
recommending a performance bond be posted by the applicant
to insure the timely completion of the Galena project. The
bond is to provide sufficient money to be available for
restoring the 700 S. Galena Street site to its original
condition should the applicant fail to meet the completion
schedule of Section 7-141 of the Municipal Code.
The applicant has worked closely with the Planning Office in
order to meet the many concerns that have been raised throughout
the subdivision review process. Several revisions have been
made in order to meet these concerns. The major changes
that have been made as a result of conditional approvals of
P & Z and City Council are as follows:
1. The roof top solar panels which were originally proposed
for this project have been removed since 1) the panels
would have obstructed the view plane from several
nearby properties, 2) the site is an inefficient
location for solar access and 3) the applicant has
agreed to provide increased roof insulation to maintain
the overall energy efficiency that was originally
proposed.
2. An additional parking space was added to the 26 proposed
in order to provide the required 27 parking spaces __
17 required by the Code and 10 required by a former
agreement providing parking for the Continental Inn at
the Galena Street site. A new agreement has been
drawn up moving the 10 Continental Inn spaces from the
south end of the Galena property to the underground
parking facility.
3. The entry ramp was revised to provide an easier flow
of traffic, a pedestrian walk and a snow-melting
system.
4. The location of the site's trash facility at the
southern end of the property was made according to the
recommendations of the Engineering Department.
5. Due to the slope, hydrological and geological problems
present at the subject site, several shoring, retention
and hydrological studies have been conducted by geo-
technical engineers and approved by the City's Engineering
Department in order to assure the project is appropriately
planned and constructed. The applicant should adhere
to the techniques approved through these studies.
6. Problems involving project construction into utility
easements have been cleared up by requiring that the
applicant obtain an agreement with Holy Cross stating
that the existing overhead power lines will be removed
and placed underground and that the applicant will
provide any necessary easements for restoring services
underground.
The Planning Office feels these changes are improvements
resulting from an effective subdivision process. It is
important to assure that all the obligations which the
applicant has agreed to throughout the process be carried
out. To insure that these obligations are adhered to,
project plans should be submitted to the Planning Office for
confirmation of their consistency with the approval project
prior to the issuance of a building permit.

Planning
Office
Recommendation:
A subdivison agreement was not submitted to the Planning
Office until ;1:00 p.m., April 6, 1982. Therefore, the
Attorney's Office, the Planning Office and the Engineering
Department have not yet had a chance to review the agreement.
Section 20-14 of the Code requires that a subdivision agreement
be submitted with the final plat in order to allow the
agreement to be properly referred to and reviewed by the
necessary city departments. Section 20-14 allows each department
a 14-day period for reviewing the subdivision agreement.
The Planning Office is trying to expedite the review process
for this application due to the May 1 deadline you have
placed upon this project's obtaining a building permit.
Therefore, we are attempting to shorten this time period and
hope to have comments regarding the subdivision agreement at
the April 12, 1982 meeting.
Conceptual subdivision approval of this project by P & Z and
Council as well as P & Z's preliminary plat approval were
all subject to several elaborate conditions. These conditions,
along with any required improvements, are to be part of the
subdivision agreement and are a very important consideration
in the review of the final plat. Therefore, if the subdivision
agreement is found to be inadequate the Planning Office will
recommend that the final plat be tabled until the April 26,
1982 Council meeting. If the subdivison agreement is adequate,
it should tie up all conditions associated with this project
and we will provide you with a brief memo, including the
appropriate motion of approval at that time.

Re: 700 South Galena Street Project
Application for Final Plat Approval
Dear Alice:
Submitted for review and approval is the final plat for the 700 South
Galena Project. The location of the site is Lot 16 and Parcel B,
Block 2, Anthony Acres Subdivision, City of Aspen. This project was approved
for the 1978 Residential G.M,P. allocation as the companion project to the
925 East Durant Employee Housing Project. The 925 East Durant Employee Housing
Project has received all the necessary approvals, the excavation permit has
been issued, and preliminary construction has begun. The Galena Project has
received conceptual approval before both the Planning and Zoning Commission and
City Council, The Planning and Zoning Commission also gave unaminous approval
of the Preliminary Plat for the 700 S. Galena Street Project on March 2, 1982.
The project consists of sixteen (16) multi-family units and one (1) on-site
employee unit. As requested in the Preliminary Plat Application, it is appro-
priate to exempt from the G.M.P. the one on-site employee unit. This request
is made in accordance with Section 24-11.10 "Employee Hcusing" and 24-11,2
(h) "Growth Management Quota Sys tems Exceptions."
In accordance with Section 19-102, "variations in curb cuts allowed for unusual
conditions," it is requested that the City Engineering Department grant the
700 South Galena Street Project a variance from the requirements of Section
19-101 (e) (2). The request is to allow two (2) eighteen-foot wide curb cuts,
Several amendments have been made during the review process for this project,
These revi s ions result from the recommendation and feedback of the adjacent
neighbors and the Planning and Zoning Commission as well as those conditions
of approval imposed by the Commission, Modifications include lowering of
ceiling heights as requested by the P & Z Commission, ramp revisions that
allow easier flow of traffic, a suitably located trash facility, and an addi-
tional surface parking space. These minor modifications all result in improving
the development, Visual aspects of the project have also been recommended for
modification at the request of the neighborhood and P & Z Commission. This
revision recommends eliminating the rooftop solar panels and increasing the R
factor for roof insulation in lieu of the panels, thereby maintaining overall
energy efficiency in an inefficient solar location,
It is important to note that this project is the companion of the 925 Durant

employee housing project. Inasmuch as the Durant site has already received
final approval and must be subsidized by the Galena project, it is crucial
that this project be reviewed and approved in a timely fashion. Thank you
for your cooperation on this important application.
Respectfully submitted,

MEMORANDUM
DATE: April 5, 1982
TO: Alice Davis
FROM: Gary ESary~
RE: Final Plat for 700 South Galena Street project
At the outset, please note that the GMP Allotment Extension Agree-
ment for the 700 S. Galena-925 E. Durant Joint Project has not yet
been signed by HBC. The agreement has gone through several drafts
and has been reviewed by HBC's counsel and me, however, and I
believe it is essentially in final form.
Further, a draft of the subdivision agreement for the 700 S.
Galena phase of the joint project has not yet been submitted by
HBC's counsel for our review. I agree with the Engineering Office
that said subdivision agreement should contain a provision requir-
ing BBC to convey necessary utility easements.
The bulk of this office's responsibility in this matter will be
the careful review of the subdivision agreement to make sure the
many conditions of final plat approval are included and properly
drafted.

MEMORANDUM
FROM:
DATE:
March 30, 1982
RE:
700 So. Galena Final Plat
--------------------------------------------------------------
Having reviewed the above application and made a site inspection,
the Engineering Department has the following comments:
Reviews of this project have turned up a number of specific
concerns regarding items not shown on the plat. We feel it is
important at this time that the applicant file an accompanying
subdivision agreement addressing the following:
1. Issuance of the building permit should not occur without
sufficient investigation and design by a geotechnical consultant
of the temporary and permanent retaining structures.
2. Design of retaining structures resulting in encroachment
of city right-of-way will require approval of the City as well
as construction easements and a license for any permanent
underground structures. This plat approval should not be considered
permission to construct such encroachments. The applicant has not
yet requested permission to encroach the city ROW in any manner.
3. Should design of on-site drainage facilities result in
the need for overflow connection to the storm sewer, the applicant
should be required to extend existing storm sewer facilities up
Galena Street to city specifications.
4. Through recent discussions with Ken Roberts of Holy Cross,
they have confirmed their willingness to remove the existing overhead
power lines to the benefit of the applicant as well as other adjacent
landowners. Ken stated, however, that easements may be required
to restore underground service for this project and/or adjacent
properties to the east. The agreement should require the 700 So.
Galena Project to provide for necessary easements if needed.
Having reviewed the condition and location of the site, the
Engineering Department recommends the granting of a variance to
allow two (2) eighteen (18') foot curb cuts on Galena accessing the
site. As the applicant has stated, the site is only accessible from
Galena and lacks an alley or other means of approach. Due to the
substantial underground parking and resultant low impact on
surrounding parking, we have no problem with the curb-cut variance.
