Dear Mark,
This letter represents a summary of our meeting this morning as
regards the 1981 GMP project known as Third and Main/Gilbert and
South Aspen. As you know, Section 24-11.7(a) of the Municipal
Code requires that you obtain a building permit for employee
units within a GMP submission no later than 2 years subsequent to
the date of the original application. Therefore, you must obtain
all review approvals and submit plans to the Building Department
as of January 1, 1983.
This morning I outlined for you the review sequence for this
project. Typically, we would first bring a residential project
to City Council for conceptual approval, since it is presumed
that P&Z has given you conceptual approval at the time it scored
the application. However, in this case we are well aware that
substantial architectual changes are being proposed. Therefore,
it will be necessary for you to go back to P&Z for amendment to
your GMP application. As Sunny and I indicated to you, based on
the description you have given of your proposed changes we will
likely have trouble supporting your request for amenpment. In
fact, from what we understand of your proposal, we may find that
you are asking approval for an entirely new project and that we
must therefore recommend denial of your application. Should this
occur, you would soon be approaching the January 1st deadline,
from which we would not be able to recommend an extension, due to
the poor performance on other GMP submissions by the applicant and
due to your tardiness in coming forward to process your subdivision
application.
Presuming that you are successful in amending the application and
receive conceptual approval for it from P&Z and City Council, you
will also have to process the preliminary and final plat submissions,
as well as the rezoning to RBO, employee housing exemption, em-
ployee parking reduction and condominiumization. Following is a
tentative schedule for completing these reviews which assumes that
.-..
you receive approval at the meeting for which you are scheduled
and submit your application in a timely fashion.
.November 16
December 13
January 4
- P&Z - GMP Amendment; Conceptual Subdivision
- Council - GMP Amendment; Conceptual Subdivision
- P&Z Public Hearing - Preliminary Plat; RBO
Rezoning; Employee Housing Exemption; Parking
Reduction; Condominiumization
January 24 - Council - 1st Reading RBO Ordinance
February 21 - Council - 2nd Reading RBO Ordinance Public
Hearing; Final Plat; Employee Housing Exemption;
Parking Reduction; Condominiumization
Obviously, this somewhat optimistic schedule would not meet your
January 1 deadline and would require a 2 month extension for
project approval by City Council.
In terms of fees, you paid a GMP conceptual fee in 1981 based on
ouroid rate schedule. Since you have already been taken through
a P&Z and Council session for this fee, when we scored and allocated
quota to the project, we could not apply it to the amendment of
the application. Therefore, I suggest that you pay $475 which
represents two steps of review before P&Z and Council regarding
the amendment. This fee entitles you to 11 hours of my time.
Any additional time spent on the amendment and conceptual sub-
division will be billed at the rate of $45 per hour. Subsequent
fees for your application include the following:
Preliminary Blat -$525.00
Rezoning/Condominiumization/
Parking/Employee Housing -$475.00
Final Plat -$275.00
Of course, these fees would need to be paid in full prior to
each step of the process and would also be subject to the
additional billings charge.
If I can be of any further assistance to you in the processing
of this application, please.do not hesitate to ask.
Sincerely;
~

Dear Mark,
I am writing this letter to set out for you the application requirements
for the Gilbert and S. Aspen/Third and Main 1981 Residential GMP Project. I
have sat down and discussed these ideas with both Richard and Sunny so I think
we can be certain at this point that my recommendations represent a Planning
Office consensus.
Since this project involves 36 free market and 36 employee units, a full
subdivision procedure would be appropriate. However, due to the detail in-
cluded in your presentation to P & Z to obtain an allocation, we feel com-
fortable in waiving your conceptual presentation before P & Z, as allowed
by Section 24-11.3(f) of the Code. We feel, however, that it is to your
advantage to make a conceptual presentation before City Council so that they
can give you some feedback on your project before you make a request for
rezoning. For that conceptual presentation you would not need to prepare
additional materials; instead I would write a memo based on the original
GMP submission, giving Council an opportunity to hear a proposal of similar
detail to that already heard by P & Z.
One additional requirement you must meet at this point in the process
is H.P.C. approval. We would suggest that you obtain final approval
from H.P.C. prior to conceptual review by Council. This would allow you
to make any modifications necessitated by H.P.C. at a very early stage in
your development review procedure and insure that City Council is aware
of the final details of your proposal in advance of final plat. However,
if you feel that this process would unnecessarily delay the review time and
you would prefer to have concurrent review by H.P.C. and City Council, we would
be willing to discuss this change with you. We would insist, however, that
you receive at least preliminary approval by H.P.C. before City Council
would hear your conceptual request, particularly since it is normally re-
quired that final H.P.C. approval be given prior to submission of a GMP applica-
tion, a provision which we agreed to waive due to the moratorium.
That next stage of the process would be preliminary plat before P & Z,
which would be a public hearing. At that time you would submit materials
Mark Danielsen
March 16, 1981
Page Two
to support your request for rezoning to residential bonus overlay, as well
as added detail regarding your design plan, as required by Section 20-12
of the Code. At this point in the process you would also apply for condo-
miniumization and special review for exemption of employee units from GMP.
Since the latter review will be,based on the units' size, type, rent and
consistency with the Housing Action Plan, I'd suggest that you address these
points at that stage in the process.
The final plat presentation before City Council would also involve these
same items - rezoning, condominiumization, exemption for the employee units
and final approval of the project plat. You should also note that the
appropriate deed restrictions for the employee units will need to be filed
before a building permit can be issued.
Mark. this may sound like a time consuming process, but I think that if
we work together we can expedite many of the delays. I would recommend
that you initiate H.P.C. review of the proposal at your earliest con-
venience, and I have alerted Collette Penne of our office that H.P.C. re-
view in a timely fashion would be most appreciated. If you have any questions
about getting that process underway or as to when City Council conceptual
review will begin, you can contact me or her. Following these reviews you
will need to do some further preparation for preliminary plat application.
and then we will need time to refer your application out and to file public
notice of the public hearing. Lastly. the final plat procedure :would include
a first and second reading of the rezoning ordinance. with the attendant
public notification also required for these meetings. I am notifying
you of these requirements at this point in time so you can plan your sub-
mission deadlines on this basis. Please feel free to contact me at any
point in the process if you have any questions.
Si ncere ly.

RE: G.M.P. Sa:Jring and Appeals Procedure
Dear Allen:
On February 3, 1981, the City of Aspen Planning and Zoning Carrrnission sCXlred
all the Growt."! Managenent Plan Applications for 1981. At that time the
Camnission SCXlred the combined project of Gilbert and S. Aspen Street/Third
and M'3.in Street. The result of their SCXlring on that project was a radical
departure from the recxJlTI1El1dations of the Planning Office, \-ml.ch had scored
the project in tenns of the strict provisions fOlU1d in the City of Aspen
Municipal Code. While the planning office had given the project 60 {Xlints
through strict application of code requirerrents, the P & Z carre out with il
total of 52.4 points.
When the final tally of the Camnissions SCXlring was prepared, it was fOlU1d
that there was an incredible spread of SCXlres given by the Camnission rrernbers.
Indeed, the SCXlres ranged from a low of 42 points to 61 points - a spread of
19 points:: Certainly, the code never intended, and does not allow, such
arbitrary and capricious judenent: A closer investigation of the final
Comnissions sCXlring revealed that twJ of the Ccmnissions' rrernbers, Jasmine
Tygre, and Joan Klar, did not give any points under the provisions of financing
even though the application explicitly states that financing will be done. A
third rrernber, Roger lllU1t, did give the appropriate points for financing, then
deducted points lU1der the bonus category, effectively negating the points given
for lU1ique financing. Such sCXlring is entirely arbitrary and capricious, and
not within the legal intents, ptllpOses, and provisions of the Code, and for
which actions they llI3.y be personally liable. Inasmuch as tIieir SCXlring reduced
the overall average of points given to the project, it is hereby requested
that the SCXlring be amended to accurately reflect the provisions CXlntained lmdcr
the Growth Managenent Plan, and that Jasmine Tygres and Joan Klar's scores
be changed to include 10 points each for financing, resulting in a SCXlre of
57 and 52 respectively. Also, Roger HlU1t'S SCXlre must be amended to not include
a negative 8 points lU1der the bonus category. The result of such changes will
be an accurate average SCXlre of 56.4 points.

Such appeal and arrendirents to the SCXlring \\QuId be essential particularly if
other awlicants appeal the sCXlring process and have their SCXlres aITEnded
to a point where they jeopardize the ranking of this awlication for the
G.M.P. allocation. One of the prirrary purposes of governrrent is to set high
standards and values for the citizens to abide by. Indeed, public officials
must also live by tinse values and laws, and any who Cb not sh::mld be rerroved
from office.
Should you have any questions or o::mnents, please do not hesitate to CXlntact

Re: Hans Cantrup's Employee Housing
Dear Andy:
This letter shall confirm the agreement between the City
of Aspen and Hans Cantrup concerning the application for
a G.M.P. allocation to construct employee housing at the
site now known as the Swiss Villas (Chalets).
This site is located on Main Street. At this time there is
a moratorium for projects on Main Street which prevents
review and approval by the H.P.C.
According to Section 24-11.3(d) of the Aspen Municipal
Code, in order to submit an application for G.M.P. allocation
to construct these employee units prior final H.P.C. approval
is required.
The City, realizing that this prior final H.P.C. approval
is impossible at this time, will allow the applicant to
submit an application without prior H.P.C. approval.
The applicant understands and agrees that if he is granted an
allocation for these units, this allocation is contingent upon
receiving final H.P.C. approval and that no building permit
will be given by the Building Department for this construction
until final approval is granted by the H.P.C.
The applicant understands and agrees that if he receives an
allocation, that he can not significantly modify this applicantC ~
when seeking H.P.C. approval.
Andrew V. Hecht
December 18, 1980
Page Two
For this agreement the term "significantly modify" shall be
construed to mean any modification which would change the
point allocation. If modifications must be made that would
change the point allocation, the applicant would have to go
back to Council for approval.
The applicant understands and agrees; if the modifications
that the H.P.C. demands are of such significance that the
applicant's score for G.M.P. allocation would be changed
to such an extent that the applicants score would not have
qualified for G.M.P. allocation, the original allocation
shall be null and void.
The applicant understands and agrees that this agreement
does not, in any way, waive the H.P.C. approval requirement
but merely defers the approval until that time when the
moratorium is no longer in effect. The applicant agrees
to submit his application for review by H.P.C. at that
time when the moratorium is no longer in effect.
Very truly yours,
GRUETER & EDMONDSON, P.C.

(12) low incx:ma one bedroom E!IlPloyee units are planned; the Third and Main Street
portion of t."!e project on which (24) low incare one bedroom units are planned.
This application is sul:mitted for t.'1e 1981 G.M.P. residential quota allocation
and seeks to be review=d and SCXlred under the City of Aspen Growth Managerrent
Plan. An integral part of t.'1e application consists of the rezoning of toth
sites to Residential Bonus OVerlay Zone, as provided for by Ordinance No. 16,
Series of 1980. The application thus desires to be given t.'1e 1980/81 G.M.P.

by ITeans of rezoning too sites to Residential Bonus OVerlay.
The respective locations of the tw:> project entities are sh:Jwn on the Project
location map.
The review criteria denoted in t.be Growth MaI'lagem=.Tlt AllotIrent Application is
tasica1ly, and !lOst easily, structured for evaluation of a project proposed
for developrent on a single land parcel. To facilitate review and evaluation
of t'us project, which CXll'1bines developrent on tw:> land parcels, we have
suhnitted each developme.'lt aJI11POnent in a separate section of this portfolio.
Each of the tw:> parcels proposed for developrrent have been treated individually

provided by this project cannot be measured only as a percentage of total units
or bedrooms. Their nore iIrq;lortant value in meeting the low income musing need
must CXlnsider that fnnctional design, quality, and size of nnits are being
provided at the lowest rental category nnder the City of Aspen Growth ManageI1'eIlt
Plan and Housing Price Guidelines.
The low inCXlrne rents achieved nnder the Housing price Guidelines can only be
achieved by inpleI1'eIlting the free market portion of the application.
The unit distribution proposed for this project purposely combines SOllE errployee
musing along with free market nnits. However, J::oth of the sites allow the
develoj:(lEIlt of one bedroom nntis with nore open space amenity, quality construction
and overall appeal equal to free market nnits and recreational facilities, thus
a higher quality enployee product.
This project offers major and irrrrediate relief for the errployee musing deficit
at a location within walking distance of all enployrrent, smpping, and recreational
destinations. If approved by GMP review, CXlnstruction of t.'1e low income housing
will begin prior to CXlnstruction of any free market units, which oould be
volnntarily phased if appropriate.

10. Description of Surrounding zoning and Land Uses:
As sOOwn on the Vicinity Map, the project is located at 700 S. Aspen Street
in the L-2/RMF. Surrounding zoning is L-2/RMF.
Surrounding land uses are a mix of lodges, CXlrmercial facilities, multi-
family and single-family units. Irttrediately surrounding conplexes are the
Shadow r.t:>untain Condominiums, Lift 1 Condominiums, Caribu condominiums,
Silver Shadow Condominiums, Holland House IDdge, Skiers Chalet and IDdge.
The site itself is c=ently used as the location of the Mine Durrps Apart-
rrents. The existing units are quite old and dilapidated, and in advanced
stages of detereoration. The existing use and CXlndition are thus not in
a=rdance with surrounding land uses. The approval of this application
will therefore greatly up-grade the site and significantly :iJnprove
CXlIIpatability with surrounding land uses.
Distances to:
A. Elemental:".! school: approximately 1/2 mile
B. Hiddle and High schools: approximately 2 miles
C. Existing sc]-ool bus routes: wit'llll 1/4 mile
D. Existing parks and playgrounds: within 1/4 mile

PUBLIC SERVICES
(aa) Water System
The evaluation is the capacity of the public water system to provide for the
needs of the proposed develorrnent wii:.OOut treat:Irent plant or other facility
upgrading beyond i:.OOse provided by the developer.
The project water demand is directly related to ~'1e fixture unit CXlunt, CXlnsisting
of probable current ASHRE guide standards. The develorrnent is participating in a
12" D.I.P. interconnect between M:march and S. Aspen Streets whic~ will enable t."!e
water system to provide an upgraded level of service to this project as well as
the imrediate neighOOrhood.
A project review by Mr. James Markalunas indicates ~!]at no foreseeable deficiencies
exist wit.'1 regard to providing water service at adequate pressure levels and no
substantive impact on the treat:Irent plant.

project \'.'QuId generate 7,200 gallons per day. This v.ould add less than 1/4
of one percent to the plant: ~.apacity, thus is well within the service capability
of the present capacity.
A preliminary project review by Mr. Heiko Kuhn indicates that no foreseeable
deficiencies exist with regard to providing sewage service to this project and
no substantive inpact on the treatrrent plant.

(ee) Storm Drainage
The evaluation is the capacity of drainage facilities to adequately dispose of
surface nmoff without public drainage system expansion.
The drainage CXlntrol systen for this project will CXlllect and retain all site
nmoff and interrupted subsurface flow with on-site drainage facilities. The
project shall have a series of drywells and retention wells sufficiently sized
to retain and disperse site surface and roof water nmoff. Consistant with
standard engineering practice, the drywells will have overflow outlets extending
to S. Aspen Street. A planted diversion berm will be created at the uphill side
of the project to divert excessive surface drainage away from building developrrent

The evaluation is the ability of the Fire Depa.rt1rent to provide fire response
to the project acCXlrding to the established response standards.
The project site is located approxinate1y 6 city blocks from the fire station
and can expect a naximum response time of 4 1/2 minutes frcI'l alert siren to equirxnent
arrival at site fire location. The project developnent will provide an on-site
fire hydrant which, in addition to serving this project, will upgrade the
protection system for the irrm=diate neighlxlrhood. Applicant will provide the
looping of an 8" pipeline on l'bnarch to Aspen Street.
The building develOJ:Xllerlt will be additionally protected by a CCI1pletely
sprinklered parking garage and ionic SllDke detection in individual units.
A fire hydrant ,rill be installed at the center of the CXlllplex on Aspen Street.

(ee) Parking Design
The evaluation is the design of required parking with respect to visual irrpact,
exposed paving, oonvenience and safety.
48 parking spaces are provided (one per unit). Of these, 32 are under the
buildings next to the stairs, and 12 are under the sod-roof, structure in center
of the 'CXlurtyard'. The remaining four are open-air at the west of the site.
All parking surfaces are to be blacktopped and sloped to storm drains with
drywells.
The parking facilities will thus rraximize ronvenience and safety while creating
no visual impact. The arrount of exposed pavement will thus be minimized to the
greated extent possible.

(ff) R:lads
The evaluation is the capacity of existing roads to service project generated
traffic wit.l-out substantially overloading or altering existing traffic patterns.
As shown on the Site Context Drawing, this section, the project is located
on S. Aspen Street approximately one and ~ block sout11 of Durant Avenue.
Exalnination of the traffic irrpact. of the project is primarily based on v.crk
generated by the UMl'A transportation study and on recent conversations ,,':it.'1
Mr. Steve ~, Alan H. Voorhees & Associates, Inc., traffic consultant
for t.'1e lJlI1I'A study.
The table below presents the trip type and trip frequencies per day per unit
for a project unit as estimated by Mr. Lockw:Jod. The 6.5 trips per unit
is less that the 10.0 trips per unit for a typical residential unit, because
the project CXlnsists of one-bedroan units generating less people than larger
aPart:nent or CXlndaminium units. Total trips are estinated bebleen autarobile
and non-aut:arobile trips.

*The 60% non-aut:arobile average for recreation trips assurres approximately
75%-80% of ski trips are non-autorrobile but only 50%-55% of stlllIlEr recreation
trips are non-aut:arobile.
Due to the project's intrediately CXlnvenient location to downtown Aspen, Lift
1A and Rubey Park ski buses, it is estinated a high percentage (60% to 75%) of
skiing, v.crk, soopping and entertairurent trips will be non-aut:arobile trips.

As sh:>wn, potentially 60% of t.l1e total projected trips per unit l.nll be non-
autarrobile trips. The estimated 2.8 autarrobile one-\'laY trips per day are
equivalent to a resident's using his car on an average of approximately one
t:ine per day. The walking and public transportation CXlnvenience of the project's
location plus the project' s low resident population results in very minimal
traffic inpact created by tOO project.

(gg) Energy
The evaluation is ability of the project, its spaces and users, to rraximize the
conservation of energy.
Consistant with the solar geography of the site, all project construction will
be designed and built to rraximize solar utilization and to minimize heat loss,
thus reducing the demand placed on the fossil fuel resource for space heating.
The following techniques will be :inplerrented in this project.
Insulation
Significantly exceeding regulatory tllermal standards, exterior walls will be
insultate to R=26 to 28 min.; roof c:xmposites to R=42; floor cc:rnposite to
R=20, foundation perimeters to R=14.
Architectural design configures buildings to optiIrize therrral characteristics
of the p:roejct. Exterior wall exposure is minimized by staggered tmit concept
(carmon wall), and by vertical space organizati,on (Minimum ratio or exterior
surfaces per square foot of occupied space). All buildings are oriented 1.nt.'1
highest use interior spaces to the south to achieve vieh' while rraximizing
passive solar heating potential.
Glazed openings on non-south exposures will be limited to Unifom Building
Code minimums (to carply l.nth ventilation requirerrents). Opening surround
details will be required to minimize heat loss due to infiltration.
Partial flat roof surfaces are designed for all units to retain the additional
insulation value of snowfall layers.

As stated, this project will be 50% employee on a bedroom and total floor
area basis. Ho~ver, the applicant suhnits that to require the employee
units to be of ()()!1'jJarable size with the free-market units is an error t.l1at
results in a severe hardship to the developer. Indeed, the review criteria
based upon F .A.R. was never intended to produce employee ul'1its equal to tl1e
size of free market units, or vice versa. The CastlejHeadgate application
review bears this CXlncept out, for the City Planning and Zoning Conrnission
required the developer to further reduce the size of employee units L'1 t.'1e
plan, creating a larger dispacity between size of free market and errployee
units.
It is believed that producing free market tourist lmits of a size equal only
to units that an errployee can afford does not prorrote a first rate free market
ac=rm:x1ation. Indeed, such a requireJ118l1t aL.-rost eliminates the eronomic
viability of a project, and at t.'1e same time ffic'1.ndates free mrket units to
be unappealing to t.'1e vast segrrent of the free mrket that supports our
conmunity' s eronomy.
Therefore, the applicant respectively urges the City of Aspen to, Silclultaneously
with the processing of t.l1e 1981 residential applications, ar.end the aJ:ove
mentioned section of the Municipal Code such that the sroring criteria is
based upon the bedroom ratio and not total floor area. Should t.'1e section be
amended, this application w:luld be allo'MOd to increase t.'1e size of the free
rrarket units in acoordance with applicable zoning restrictions, and points
achieved in sooring w:luld not change. .

Residential Bonus Overlay Rezoning
Applications which apply for a Residential Bonus OVerlay re?Qning should achieve
several objectives. The Gilbert, and South Aspen Street site rorrplies with t.'1E!se
purposes and objectives in the following IlE.,"mer:
1. Ccxrplial'1ce wit.'1 the Planned unit Development Staterrent of purposes as set
forth in Section 24-8.1 of the Municipal Code of the City of Aspen. The
P.U.D. enCXlurages innovation and variety in the development 0:" land so that
the resulting project will enhance t.'1e design, c'1aracter and 'quality of
new development and the neighlnrhood. The proposed project will clearly
m=et these objectives by rreans of eliminating the existing ML'1e D\mp
Apart:ments 1rf.1ic!1 are an eyesore, very old, and much in need of repair and
replacing it with a new project that m=ets =rent building CXldes and is
architecturally aopealing in design 1rf.1ile greatly improving the quality
of development of the site. The proposed project will make nore efficient
use of land t.'1rough mgher density, creation of new emplovee housinq, and
develop:ent of facilities that are nuch r.nre =nducive to land use located
at the nountain base with skiing operations adjacent to the property.
Public streets, utilities and goverrll"el1tal services will be nore efficiently
utilized by placing tourist and efI1Ployee use at an area tllat is located by
priP'e tourist attractions (ski lift) and major transportation routes
(Durant Street).
The type, design, and layout of this residential development helps to pre-
serve the sites natural and scenic features by maintaining the view plane
frcm the site and using the nountains natural characteristics to provide
for scenic qualities of the project. As there are many high density tourist
uses in t.l1e area and the location is at t.'1e base of Ilmmtain skiing operations,
the site will finally achieve a beneficial land use relationship wit]'! the
surrounding area.
2. Rezoning t.'1e site will help ccmply with the Housing Action Pla'1 as it will
help provide errployee housing, t.'1e need of which is given in the employee
housing annual production goals of t.'1at plan. In as much as t.'1is G.M.P.
application CXlnsists of tw:> separate sites for one total project, rezoning
to R.B.O. is necessary in order to provide t.'1e necessary employee housing.
As the free market units subsidize the errployee units to a large extent,
the tw:> sites must be rezoned to allow the additional density necessary in
order to make t.'1e project eCXlnamically viable. Indeed, even t.'1e "free
market" site at Gilbert and S. Aspen Street provides an additional 12 units
of employee housing. The Housing Action Plan identifies (in Table 3) a
1980 shortfall of over 200 units, CXlntaining rot."! rental and ownership units.
This project will help alleviate that smrtfall and provide the COIlll1llnity
with a vitally needed asset in terms of employee musing.

3. Both free rrarket and er.ployee tmits have been designed and will be CXlnstructed
to achieve maximum CXlnstruction quality and aest.'1etic appearance. All the
free rrarket an::1 employee dwellings are one bedroom IIDits, having 800 square
feet. The employee tmits are sized in accordance with the Aspen MIIDicipal
Code which allows a maximum employee one bedroom tmit size of sao square feet.
All employee tmits t.'1us maximize allowable IIDit size. The free rrarket tmits
are also at a maximum of 800 square feet in order to mintain the 50% F .A.R.
ratio reconnended by the planning office for sCXlring purposes. The free
rrarket tmits w::mld be of a larger size if it were rot for the sCXlring ratio
as recomrended. Consequently t.'1e rode does rot allow for naxiDization of
free rrarket tmit size in a G.M.P. application even though it is reCOTIT:'e11ded
in the Overlay Ordinance (No. 16, Series of 1980) .
4. Geographic disbursal of deed restricted tmits and integration \'lith other types
of developtEllt is achieved by placing employee IIDits on tw::> sites. This site
integrates deed restricted IIDits aIlDng free rrarket IIDits, \lfuile t'1e Third and
r1ain Street site provides employee housing in an area where t.'1ere is little
to no employee housing. Total integration is thus achieved by t.'1is project.
5. This particular site is already developed, and CXlntains old buildings in
need of replacerrent. Consequently there W::lUld be no adverse enviroJ1Ile11tal
irrq;lacts resulting f:rom new CXlnstruction, and new developtEllt will upgrade
t:.'1e site a11O. inprove CXlnditions greatly. Social irrq;lacts will t'1erefore
be minimized by such upgrading and rel=ation of tenants to other properties
owned by t:.'1e applicant shall be done prior to any new construction on that
site. Social irrq;lacts are furtl1er reduced by placing employees directly in
town, close to recreational, v.ork, and shopping areas.
6. Rezoning of this site will ensure c:orrq:>atibility with surrolIDding land uses
and zoning, including area and bulk requirenents of the IIDderlying zone
district. This is readily apparent when the surrolIDding neighborhood is
viewed, for it contains rrany high density tourist use facilities, including
the South Point and Lift One Condominiums, Skiers Chalet Restaurant and
Lodge Units, Holland House Inn, Aspen Ski Corporation Lift lA, and Shadow
fDIIDtain Condominiums. There are some areas of the neighborhood which
.remain undeveloped. This site shall custer developrent on already developed
property and hence minimize any adverse effects of such developtEllt upon
surrolIDding areas. This rezoning will not reduce any open space in the
area.
7. This project site is located very near the min transportation route of
Durant Street and within a srort walking distance to t:'1e Ruby Park bus

RE: Aspen and Gilbert Street Project
Dear Mr. Danielsen:
I have received the development proposal for the above referenced project, which
I understand to consist of 48 one bedroom condominium units.
The project developer will participate in a new 12" D. I.P. interconnect from an
existing 8" line in Monarch St. one block east to the proposed site on Aspen St.
The Monarch St. main will serve the development requirements of 80 gpm satisfac-
torily with approximately 40 - 50 psi pressure.
In my opinion this development would warrant additional bonus points under Section
24-10.4(b) (5) due to the efforts of the developer in providing both service to
the project and in enabling the water department to provide an upgraded service
to the immediate neighborhood.

Mark Danielsen;
I Have Reviewed The Development Proposal For The Above Project Wi~h Regards
To Fire Protection.
It Is My Understanding That The Project Is A Portion Of A Groweth Management
Plan Submission Which Will IncludeA Total Of 72 Units,Approximatly 45000 Sq.
Feet. This Site Will Have 48 Units,Of Which All Are One Bedroom Units.
Of These Units Are Free Market Units ,And 12 Of These Units Will Be Set Up
As Employee Units.
The Two Kearest Fire Hydrants Are Located Up The Hill At The West Side Of
Aspen Street On Summit Street,And All So On The Northwest Corner Of Aspen And
Durant Street. These Hpdrants Have Been ~ested And will Provide Adequate Pressure
Levels For Good Fire Protection For The Complex.
I Would Recommend The Looping Of An 8" Pipeline On Monarch To Aspen Street
And Installation Of A Hydrant At The Center Of The Complex On Aspen Street.
The Location Of The prmject Relative To The Fire Station Permits The Prompt
Responce Time Necessary To Deal With Fire Related Problems.
It Is My Opinion That The Development Proposed For This Site Poses No
Foreseeable Deficiencies Related To Fire Protection.

PUBLIC SERVICES
(aa) Water System
The evaluation is the capacity of the public water system to provide for the
needs of the proposed develqxrent with:mt treabrent plant or other facility
upgrading beyond those provided by the developer.
,
The project is presently served by a 8" water main located in Hopkins Avenue,
adjacent to the project site, which will provide good flow at adequate pressure
to the proposed developrent.
A project review by Mr. Jarres Markalunas indicates t.llat no foreseeable
deficiencies exist with regard to providing water service at adequate pressure
levels and no substantive :ir.pact on the treabrent plant, which is currently
utilized at approxirrately only 80% capacity, will result from the project
developrent.

to the project a=rding to the established response standards.
The project site is located approximately 2100 L.F. (6 city blocks) from t.he
fire station and can expect a max:imum response t~ of 4 1/2 minutes from alert
siren to equiprent arrival at site fire location. The project site is served
by (2) hydrants with adequate static pressure for fire protection. 'I\-X) adja-
cent roadways, Main Street and alleyway, provide imrediate access for fire
vehicles. '
The building developrent will be additionally protected by a dry standpipe
system, and ionic srroke detection in individual nnits.

(ee) Parking Design
The evaluation is the design of required parking with respect to visual irrpact,
exposed paving, CXlnvenience and safety.
Twenty-four spaces are provided as surface parking. All access is off the alley
and they are not visible fran ei,ther Main or Third Streets, but are screened
by fencing, wildings and planting. The parking surface is blacktop over a
heated CXlncrete deck, which should insure ice-free surface for CXlnvenience.

24 spaces required and provided in nnderground garage
(ff) Roads
The evaluation is the capacity of existing roads to service project traffic
with:mt substantially overloading or altering traffic patterns.
As stDwn on t.l1e Site Context Drawing, this section, the project is l=ated
on Third and Main Street.
Examination of the traffic irrpact of the project is primarily based on mrk
generated by the UMI'A transportation study and on recent CXlnversations with
Mr. ,Steve Lockwood, Alan M. Voorhess & Associates, Inc., traffic CXlnsultant
for the UMI'A study. ,
The table below presents the trip type and trip frequencies per day per tmi t
for 'a project nnit as estirrated by Mr. Lockv.uod. The 6.5 trips per nnit is
less than the 10.0 trips per nnit for a typical residential nnit, because the
project CXlnsists of one-bedroom tmits generating ,less people than larger
apartrrEnt or CXlndorninium nnits. Total trips are estirrated between autonDbile
and non-autonDbile trips.

*The 60% non-autorrobile average for recreation trips assume approximately
75%-80% of ski trips are non-autorrobile but only 50%-55% of SllllllEr recreation
trips are non-autorrobile.
Due to the project I s CXlnvenient location to downtown Aspen and public trans-
portation, it is estimated a high percentage (60% to 75%) of skiing, \\Drk,
shopping and entertainrrent trips will be non-autarobile trips.
As shown, potentially 60% of t:.'1e total projected trips per \ll1it will be non-
autorrobile trips. The estimated 2.8 autorrobile oneway trips per day are
equivalent to a resident I s using his car on an average of approximately one
time per day. The walking and public transportation CXlnvenience of the project's
location plus the project's low resident population results in minimal traffic
impact created by the project.
Current detail traffic CO\ll1ts are not available for the area to quantitatively
estimate traffic impact.
(gg) Energy
The evaluation is ability of the project, its spaces and users, to maximize the
CXlnservation of energy.
Consistant with the solar geography of the site, all project construction will
I::e designed and built to maximize solar utilization and to minimize heat loss,
thus reducing the demand placed on the fossil fuel resource for space heating.
The following techniques will be inplenented in this project.

Insulation
Significantly exceeding regulatory thenral standards, exterior walls will be
insulated to R:26 to 28 min.; roof CXlllpJsites to R:42; f1=r carp:lsite to
R:20, foundation perimeters to R:14.
Architectural
Architectural design CXlnfigures building to optimize t.'1ennal characteristics
of the project. Exterior wall exposure is minimized by connon walls and earth
sheltering. The massive walls and earth CXlvering retard heat loss while
stabilizing the internal -terqJerature, thus reducing daily heating requirsnents
significantly. The 14 garden level units are exposed to the exterior on only
one wall, which is the window wall facing into the CXlurtyard. For t.l-Je south
facing units, large glass areas and a ITOSS (6 inches thick) f1=r slab will
be used for energy CXlllection and retention. For t.'1e north facing units, the
glass areas will be srraller and large south oriented skylights will bathe the
living areas in light.
The above-grade buildings, in addition to their hig!l insulation values will
rraximize south facing windows and Skylight windows. Additionally, all units
will feature solar-heated dorrestic water systems and 17 units will feature
energy efficient ~-burning stoves.
Devices
Consistant with solar geography of site, solar CXlllectors will be utilized for
dorrestic hot water heating. Electric energy will be designated for primary
space heating to reduce fossil fuel demand (approximately 50% of electric power
used in Aspen area is hydro-generated). Automatic thenrostats will be specified
to CXlntrol night time space temperatures. Energy efficient heating stoves will
use external combustion air supply.

The total project suJ:.:rnission is canprised of 72 total units of which 36 units
are designated as single bedrocm free market CXlndominiums and 36 units as lo.v
inrome one bedroom employee units.
As shown by the typical unit plan on this section, each one bedroom unit is
approxirrately 800 s.f. and is additionally supported by COllITOn recreational
area, laundry, storage and day care facilities. Larger than normal this one
bedrocm is designed to accorrnodate shared living space for a minimum of 2
occupants. Upon receiving GMP approval the Third and Main Street project
c:orrprising of all employee housing \\Quld be CXlnstructed prior to CXlnstruction
of any free market units. '
All 36 one bedroom errployee units will be rented or sold in a=rdance with
the housing price guidelines and inCXlme eligibility guidelines established
by the City Council. The rental structure for the errployee units is designed

Historical District OVerlay:
The Third and Main Street site is located within the Historical District OVerlay.
As such, normal circumstances w:)Uld warrant Historical Preservation Carrrnittee
(H.P.C.) approval prior to G.M.P. submission. However, as there is a ITDratorium
on for all of Main Street, H.P.C. approval is not possible at this time, and
has been deferred until after the G.M.P. review process is cxxrpleted, and
allocation has been made. The agreement between the city and the applicant
with regard to H.P.C. approval is made part of this application. See attached.
Residential Bonus OVerlay Rezoning:
Applications which apply for a Residential Bonus OVerlay rezoning should achieve
several objectives. The Third and Main Street site cxxrplies with these purposes
and objectives in the following manner:
1. Conpliance with the Planned Unit Developrrent Statement of Purposes as set
forth in Section 24-8.1 of the Municipal Code of the City of Aspen. The
P.U.D. enCXlurages flexibility, innovation and variety of land develo]:lllel1t.
'Ibward this end the CXlncept for the Third and Main Street site is a result
of the applicants flexibility and innovation in site planning. Indeed,
the site plan presented in this G.M.P. application is a result of input
and recomrendations made by the H.P.C. which desired a greater variety
in the type, design, and layout of the buildings. The H.P.C. recomrended
several individual buildings spread out over all seven lots. Their
desire was to build law on the west side and build high on the east end,
with all buildings CXlntaining CXlntemporary materials in a victorian design.
Such a site plan and architecture will improve the design of the new
developrrent while maintaining the historic character of Main Street, and
resulting in a higher quality project. Their input and reCXlrrmendations
were made so as to relate the type, design and layout of this residential
developrrent to enCXlurage the preservation of the site's unique, natural,
and scenic features. One example was the reconmendation to build law on
the east end so as to preserve the view and solar orientation from Mary
Perkins residence, allowing for the maintenance of a greenhouse and a
view plane frc:m that part of Main Street. Such site planning and archi-
tectural design achieves a beneficial land use relationship with surrounding
areas. Thus, the objective is net of creating a rrore desirable environ-
I1'eI1t than w::mld be possible through strict application of other sections
of the rode.
As the site is located on Third and Main Street in town, the location
maximizes use of public streets, and main transportation systems available.
Utilities are imnediately available, as are governrrental services in terms
of police and fire protection, transportation, water, and sewer access.
The rezoning will also make rrore efficient use 0:' the land as it will
enable a slightly higher density project to be placed on the property for
the sole purpose of deed restricted, law inCXlne errployee rousing. This
Canbined Project:

. ~ '
site also maximizes open space, allowing for develop:nent to occur via
the R.B.O. rezoning while maintaining serre 62% of the land as open space!
2. Rezoning this site will rorrply with the Housing Action Plan as it will
help meet employee housing annual production goals by creating serre (24)
low incx:rne one bedrocm employee housing units. The housing action plan
identifies (in Table 3) a 1980 shortfall of over 200 units, CXlntaining
both rental and ownership units. This project will help alleviate that
shortfall and provide the corrmunity with a vitally needed asset in terms
of employee housing.
3. All employee units have been designed and will be ronstructed to achieve
maximum CXlnstruction and aesthetic quality. All the units are one bedroom,
built in aCCXlrdance with the Aspen Municipal Code which allows for a
maximum of 800 square feet per unit. All employee units thus maximize
allowable unit size.
4. This site is part of a project that CXlnsists of twJ sites, both of which
CXlntain deed restricted employee housing. The total project thus achieves
geographic disbursal of deed restricted units and integration with other
types of develop:nent through locating employee housing both on a separate
land parcel along Main Street where there is currently little or no
employee housing and also integrating such employee housing amidst a
free market project.
5. This site shall minimize adverse environmental and social impacts through
its rorrpliance with H.P.C. site plan and architectural reo::mrendation, its
location along a main transportation CXlrridor and im:nediate availability
of all governrrental services and protection agencies. The site also
utilizes land previously developed to help negate any environmental
impacts. Social impacts are further reduced by placing employees directly
in town, close to wxking areas and Shopping centers.
6. Cornpatability with surroilllding land uses and zoning is ensured through
rorrpliance with H.P.C. reo::mrendations, the CXlnmittee that has been
designated to achieve such CXlrrpatability along Main Street. Rezoning the
site will not result in maximum density in terms of number of units allo~
under the overlay. Indeed the area in which the site is located does not
have a uniform corrmunity neighl:orhood. There exists a rrenage of various

The high density use of many areas of Main Street aDd the proposed density
of this particular site are CXlnsequently CXJITpatible. The Victorian
architectural design will also provide a develor:ment in a=rdance with
the character and historic nature of Main Street. In addition there are
many areas of Main Street and the neighborhood which are primarily
undeveloped in aCCXlrdance with maximum area and bulk requirements of
the underlying zone district. This developnent will also mitigate any
adverse effects of such developnent t.'1rough allowing 62% of the property
to rerrain as open space.
7. The project location is along a major transportation route and is close to
all =rk and smpping areas. The proposal thus disCXlurages autarobile
use and provides for the relatively unique rreasure of sod roof parking
for storage of autarobiles.
8. All utilities are imrediately available to the site l=ation and are ade-
quate for the project, as per appropriate letters fran these agencies
as included in this application.

RE: Main and Third Street Project
Dear Mr. Danielsen:
I have reviewed the development proposal for the above referenced project, which
consists of 24 one bedroom employee units.
The project site is presently served by a 8" C.I.P. water main running adjacent
in Third Street. This line may be tapped with 6" O.I.P. which would serve the
project demands of 40 gpm including a new fire hydrant, if required, satisfactorily
with approximately 80 psi pressure.
It is my opinion that the development proposed for this site poses no foreseeable
deficiencies related to water services.

Dear Mr. Danielsen;
In regards to the proposed building project of 24 one bedroom units with
250 fixtures generating 40 gallons per minute at 3rd and Main, I forsee no
problem in providing sanitation service to this project pending official
Aspen Sanitation District Board approval. Aspen Sanitation Board meets
January 12 and will discuss this.
Sincerely

RE; Swiss Chalet Employee Units
Lots C,D,E,F,G,~,I BLOCK 38
Mark Danielsen;
I Have Reviewed The Development Proposal For The Above Referenced Project
With Regards To Fire Protection.
It Is My Understanding That The progect Is The Employee Housing Portion Of
A Groweth Managemwnt Plan Submission Which Will Include (24) One Bedroom Units.
The Two Nearest Fire Hydrants Are Located At The No~hhwest Corner Of Fourth
And Main Street,And At The Southeast Corner Of Hopkins And Third Street.
These Hydrants Have Been Tested And Will Provide Adequate Pressure Lvels
For Good Fire Protection For The Project.
While This Project Is Accessable From Main Streeet And The Alley Behind, I
Would Recommend That While In The Planning Stage That A New Hydrant Be In-
stalled At The Corner Of Third And Maim Street.
The Location Of The Project Relative To The Fire Station Permits The Prompt
Responce Time Necessary To Deal With Fire Related Problens.
It Is My Opinion That The Development Proposed For This Site Poses No
Foreseeable Deficiencies Related To Fire Protectioh.
