HEOHT ASHLEY ANDERSON October 5, 1979 TELEPHONE (303) 9215-1936 OHRISTOPHER N. BOMMER ORAlG N. BLOOKWIOK K. ROCLHAO OARN Aspen City Council City Hall 130 S. Galena St. Aspen, Colorado 81611 APPLICATION FOR EXTENSION Dear Council Member: In 1978 Hans Cantrup received Growth Management Plan quota allotments for two multi-family projects---TOp of Mill and 925 Durant-500 S. Galena. The Top of Mill project contained sixteen employee units and the 925 Durant-500 S. Galena project contained twelve employee units. The employee unit portions of both those projects were and are to be built prior to the free market units. Section 24-10.7 (a) of theAspen City Code requires that plans sufficient for the issuance of a building permit be submitted within two years of the deadline for the application. That time period will expire on January 1, 1980. This application is for an extension of that deadline and the reasons for the request are set forth below. Approximately eighteen months ago Copland Hagman & Yaw, the architects for the applicant, began drawings for the employee portions of the projects. As stated above, the employee units were and are to be built first. At that time the applicant sought permission from this Council to build larger employee units, that permission was not granted. Shortly thereafter, in approximately November of 1978, the city attorney in his continuing endeavors to help alleviate the employee housing problem suggested to the City staff as well as to myself the concept of an employee overlay. The original draft of that overlay was completed in approximately December of 1978. That overlay would have allowed us to build 32 employee units rather than the 16 in the Top of Mill project and 24 employee units rather than 12 in the 925 Durant-500 S. Galena , Aspen City Council October 5, 1979 Page Two project. We at that time, as we do presently desire to in fact double the number of employee units in that manner. Relying on the probablity of that ordinance passing in some form or another, we delayed preparing the drawing for the proj ects. The ordinance was presented to Planning and Zoning in the Spring of 1979 and after some discussion it was tabled. Un- fortunately, at that time the ordinance did not reach this Council. Nevertheless, we were still optomistic of its passing at some point and continued to delay the preparation of the drawings based on that reliance. The ordinance was again presented to the Planning and Zoning Commission approximately three weeks ago. They appeared to be very interested and instructed the staff along with myself to return with a final draft of the ordinance. Since that time Karen Smith, Jim Reentz, Ron Stock and myself have worked many hours on preparing that draft. We are now almost at the point of having it completed and it will be submitted to the Planning and Zoning Commission on November 6, 1979. Again, that ordinance will allow us to build a 56 employee units as opposed to 28 employee units. will be strictly of employee units with no increase in the free-market units. Again to reiterate these units will be built before the free-market units. total of This doubling whatsoever employee Based on the above, we request an extension of the two year period in which to file plans sufficient for a building permit in order to accomplish the doubling of our employee units.

(provided, however, that if Section 7-141(d) shall conflict with any of the provisions herein, the more restrictive of the conflicting provisions to HBC shall apply to HBC). 3. With respect to the provisions of this agreement, HBC Investments hereby releases, discharges and holds the City of Aspen harmless from any claims of damages or actions in equity arising therefrom, including claims based on reliance or part performance theories.

Prior to the issuance of a building permit for the improvements on the above-described property, the Subdivider shall provide as follows: a. With regard to slope stabilization during excavation and construction, the Subdivider shall provide a comprehensive engineering design for both temporary and permanent earth-retaining structures (and the monitoring thereof during excavation and construction). Said design and monitoring system shall be signed and sealed by a licensed geotechnical engineer and approved by the City Engineer. If the earth-retaining design finally approved by the City Engineer requires temporary or permanent " Jl2" r 'jC - ~\l(]K 'f' ;) 1,IGt ~~ encroachment on neighboring property or City right-of-way, the Subdivider shall secure all of the permits, licenses and/or easements of the neighboring property owners and/or the City as required by law. b. With regard to surface and subsurface drainage during excavation, construction and occupancy, the Subdivider shall provide a comprehensive engineering design for said drainage. Said design shall include provisions for on-site retention of storm flows (including dry wells, retention wells, and planted diversion berm) and for filtration of the drainage to remove mud and construction debris. Said design shall be signed and sealed by a licensed geotechnical engineer and approved by the City Engineer. If the drainage design finally approved by the City Engineer requires an overflow connection to storm sewer, the Subdivider shall enter into a separate agreement with the City to extend, all at Subdivider's cost, the existing storm sewer up Galena Street to the Project, all to the City's specifications for such storm sewer c. With regard to consistency of the amended GMP application and City approvals with the building plans to be submitted, the Subdivider shall submit said building plans to the City Planning Office for verification of compliance of those plans with the amended GMP application and the binding plat approvals of the City Planning and Zoning Commission and the City Council. d. With regard to all utilities required for the project, if the submitted project construction plans or City or utility company requirements provide for utility installations in property locations not now burdened by easements, Subdivider shall be required to convey the relevant utility easements in standard form at no cost to the City or utility companies. 2. Prior to the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy ("COol) for the Project, the Subdivider shall provide as follows: a. The twelve employee units at the 925 East Durant phase of this joint project must be built, deed-restricted to City low-income, rental/resale guidelines and covered by valid City certificates of occupancy. b. The Project must contain all design features and amenities as identified in the amended GMP application for the Project and required as conditions of approval in the P&Z and City Council including, but not limited to, the following: : ~~425 iMl723 (i) Twenty-six (26) underground parking spaces and one (1) surface parking space, until such time as the 10 spaces for the Continental Inn are removed pursuant to a separate written agreement by the subdivider and approved by the City of Aspen. (ii) Twenty-seven percent (27%) of the site retained as open space. (iii) Energy conservation features (with required R-values) as required by the P&Z in its preliminary plat approval of March 2, 1982. (iv) Social facilities including a day care center, recycling facilities and indoor/outdoor pool. (v) Site design as a three-story straight line configuration, as presented in the amended GMP application and approved by Aspen City Council. (vi) Heated sidewalks, six feet in width, along the entire South Street frontage. (vii) Curb and gutter along the entire South Galena Street frontage. (viii) Elevators and stairs from the underground garage to all three floors and building and site design to facilitate access for handicapped persons. 3. With respect to the following improvements: temporary and permanent earth retaining structures, and temporary and permanent water drainage systems as described in paragraph 1 above, and curb and gutter and the heated sidewalks as described in paragraph 2 above, to the extent required by Section 20-16 of the Aspen Municipal Code, Subdivider agrees to provide a guarranty for no less than one hundred (100) per cent of the current estimated cost of the improvements, as that cost shall be computed by the City Engineer or approved by the City Engineer based on cost estimates supplied to him by the applicant's engineers or technical representatives. Said guaranty shall be provided to the City prior to delivery to Subdivider of a building permit for this project. Said guarranty shall be in such form and amount as approved by the City Attorney and City Engineer but shall provide at least as follows: The guaranty shall be in the form of an irrevocable sight draft from a financially responsible lender or an irrevocable letter of commitment from a financially responsible lender; and said guaranty shall give the City the unconditional right, upon default by the Subdivider, to withdraw funds upon demand to partially or fully complete and/or pay for any improvement or pay any outstanding bills for work done thereon by any party. In addition, Subdivider hereby agrees to warrant ~ 4'),' , '12A ''\IOK ,,;) I '\L~ 't 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 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 the permit may 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 7-141(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 7-141(d) even if such violation is excused or a variance granted therefore by appropriate City officials 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 RBO 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 respective successors and assigns. 7. This Agreement shall be subject to and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Colorado and the Municipal Code of the City of Aspen. 8. If any of the provisions of this Agreement or any paragraph, sentence, clause, phrase, word or section or the application thereof in any circumstances is invalidated, such invalidity shall not affect the validity of the remainder of the Agreement and the validity of any such provision, paragraph, sentence, clause, phrase, word or section under any other circumstance shall not be affected thereby. , '. . j\IOK 425 (.\Gl725 9.

Scoring Evaluation by P&Z G.M.P. Residential Submission of 500 South Galena/925 Durant Project Dear Council Members: Pursuant to the provisions of Ordinance '48, Series of 1978, Section 24-10.4, paragraph F, we wish to register formal protest to the P&Z scoring of the above referenced project and request that City Council award additional G.M.P. points to this project based on documentations herein provided for review. Specifically, we are protesting the evaluation and scoring of this project by one member of the commission, Mr. Frank Baranko, on the basis that his scoring was both arbitrary and inconsistent with the scoring criteria denoted in Ordinance #48. The Growth Management Plan carefully denotes specific criteria and associated point awards for existing and provided service levels so that both the applicants and the City representatives evaluating the project sub- missions have a consistant, objective basis for decision making. This project was specifically conditioned, designed and submitted to achieve more than 39 points required for G.M.P. approval. The initial submission provided carefully detailed back-up data to support the expected point award and to assist evaluation in all G.M.P. categories. , , Copland Hag"CYaW Ltd Architects Letter to Aspen City Council 10 April 1978 Page 2 We contend that Mr. Baranko necessarily must have dis- regarded both the stated G.M.P. criteria and the documented information in the submission to have scored this project as he did, and that no basis exists upon which to justify his low scoring evaluation. To a specifically demonstrable extent, Mr. Baranko's inconsistancies in the technical application of G.M.P. criteria to certain of the Public and Social Service categories has resulted, when averaged with the scores by other commission members, in an unjust scoring result, placing the project one (1) point below the 39 points required for G.M.P. approval. We request that Mr. Baranko's scores (see enclosed P&Z tally sheet) be adjusted by a total of 11 addi tional points raising the present score of 38 points to a new total of 40.2 points and GMP approval. The following pages contain documentation in support of this appeal. Thank you for your consideration. Very truly yours C(:land Hag ~ Ltd Larry a , p incipal JLY:lk enc.

A letter from the Aspen Fire Department (see enclosed) indicates "no foreseeable deficiencies"; Existing fire hydrants provide adequate flow at good proximity; A new hydrant was provided directly adjacent to 500 South Galena; project is completely sprinklered; Good fire vehicle access is provided. Fire protection systems for 500 South Galena, in fact, improve the quality of protection service available to the surrounding neighborhood. Highest G.M.P. standards were met and exceeded yet Baranko score indicates a "major deficiency in service".

Roads The evaluation is the capacity of existing roads to service project generated traffic without substantially overloading or altering existing traffic patterns. The project building are /'" Copland Hag( ", Yaw LId Architects ....,... Support Data Letter to Aspen City Council 10 April 1978 Page 3 served by existing paved streets and are located within easy pedestrian access of central core services. Both service proximity and the low occupant per unit (all 1 BR units) ratio mitigate againit the necessity for auto generated trips, thus reduced impact. Voorhees study for this project estimates 75% of all trips will be non- automobile, primarily due to both service and recreational proximity of project. A substantiated situation of "no foreseeable deficiencies" is clearly dpmonstrated, yet Baranko score indicates only an "acceptable level of service exists." Baranko score = Applied criteria score = Requested additional points = 2 points 3 points 1 point f. Energy The evaluation is the ability of the project, its spaces and users, to maximize the conservation of energy. Consistant with the solar geography of the sites all project construction is specified to maximize solar utilization and minimize heat loss by the following techniques: Insulation Significantly exceeding regulatory thermal standards, exterior walls will be insulated to R=26 to 28 min.; roof composites to R=42; floor composite to R=20; foundation perimeters to R=14. Architectural Architectural design configures buildings to optimize thermal characteristics of the project. Exterior wall exposure is minimized by staggered unit concept (common wall), and by vertical space organization (minimum ratio of exterior .~-- ..- Copland Hal!''' Yaw lid Architects -..~ Support Data Letter to Aspen City Council 10 April 1978 Page 4 surfaces per sq.ft. of occupied space). All build- ings are oriented with highest use interior spaces to the south to achieve view while maximizing passive solar heating potential. Glazed openings on non-south exposures will be limited to Uniform Building Code minimums (to comply with ventilation requirements). 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. Devices Consistant with solar geography of site, solar collectors will be utilized for domestic 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 hydrogenerated). Automatic thermostats will be specified to control night time space temperatures. Fire place design will use double damper control, exterior combustion air, glazed fire opening, and heat return ducting. Humidification will be used to reduce temperature required to achieve equal comfort levels. The thermal and energy aspects of this project are clearly maximized, yet Baranko score indicates only a "standard level of service."

SOCIAL FACILITIES & SERVICES a. Evaluation Criteria The Ordinance States: "The Commission shall consider each application with respect to its impact upon social facilities and services and shall rate each development by assigning points according to the following criteria: o points - Project requires the prov1s1on of new service at increased public expense. 1 point - project may be handled by existing level of service in the area. 2 points - project in and of itself improves the quality of service in a given area.." A similar argument can be developed with regard to the Social Facilities and Services Section. As shown below there are inconsistencies between the guidelines provided by the ordinance and the points awarded to the projects. b. Child Care Facilities This project provides child day care facilities, in accordance with State of Colorado Standards in an area where none presently exist, thus "in and of itself improves the quality of service in a given area". Baranko score indicates that the project requires "provisions of a new service at increased public expense."

Recycling Facilities Recycling facilities (special segregation containers for glass, aluminum, tin and newspapers) are designated to be provided at 2 separate locations in this project in accordance with the specific criteria of Mr. Dennis Holmes of the City Recycling Center, thus improving the quality of this service. Baranko score indicates that no improvement was made. Baranko score = Applied criteria score = Requested additional points = 1 point 2 points 1 point d. Handicapped Design Features Both project locations were specifically designed to provide direct access to units for non-ambulatory persons by means of level sidewalks, protected ramps, elevator and widened access ways. The provisions were made in excess of building code requirements for the specific purpose of maximizing handicapp access. Baranko score indicates no improvement was made. Baranko score = Applied criteria score = Requested additional points = 1 point 2 points 1 point 3.

The project site is presently served by a 6" C.I.P. water main, which is located adjacent to the site, and it continues up South Galena Street where it loops with a 6" water main aligned in Mill Street. The two nearest hydrants are located on Durant Street and are No. 102 and No. 103. They have tested static pressures of 92 psi and 94 psi respectively. I estimate the new hydrant to be provided by developer (per City of Aspen specifications) and adjacent to the project site to yield approximately 85 psi static pressure and a flow of approximately 2000 g.p.m. It is my opinion that the development proposed for this site poses no foreseeable deficiencies related to water service. j1f'Y "u, yOU,"_ (]:: Ma4f.,~ ,'-" ',-, January 25, 1978 Mr. Larry Yaw Copland Hagman Yaw Ltd P.O.

I understand the project to consist of (16) one-bedroom condominium units and (1) studio employee unit. The two nearest fire hydrants, No. 102 and No. 103, are located approximately one city block distant on Durant Avenue and have tested static pressures of 92 psi and 94 psi, respectively. A new hydrant will be located adjacent to the project site, which is estimated to yield approximately 85 psi static pressure and a flow of 2000 G.P.M. The location of hydrants relative to this project permits good coverage at adequate pressure levels and augments the ability of the Fire Department to serve the neighboring structures, The site plan indicates that fire vehicles and equipment will pave good access to the project from two streets in addition to the roadway access provided for a portion of the on-site parking. The location of the project relative to the fire station permits the prompt response time necessary to deal with fire related problems.
