RESOLUTION #95, 2000 - SPARC Letter of Commitment John Worcester, city attorney, told Council this resolution authorizes the city manager to send a letter of commitment to the Friends for the Aspen Sports and Recreation Complex. Worcester reminded Council the pool/recreation complex being built at Iselin does not include an ice facility. This groups proposes to raise funds from the private sector to build an ice facility. They are asking for this letter to use in fund raising indicating the commitments the city will make if they are successful in raising this money. Worcester pointed out the city has committed to spend up to $250,000 to incorporate the design of an additional indoor ice-skating rink. Worcester noted exhibit B contains a phasing plan and cash flow required for construction. The commitments in this letter relate to timing issues if SPARC is successful in raising sufficient funds. If SPARC is successful, the city will commit to building at least phase I for the $4,209,000. This is a 3 phase project. Worcester noted if SPARC raises the money and the city builds the facility, SPARC will not claim title to the facility or any personal or real property associated with the Iselin park complex. Worcester said the letter outlines the commitments if all the money is raised. The city will dedicate land necessary for the construction of an ice-skating facility. The city will be responsible for any housing mitigation and will not charge planning fees. The city will pay any operational costs associated with the ice skating facility. The city will pay for any tree mitigation fees and shall maintain landscaping features. The city will be responsibility for construction management services. The city will be responsible for parking requirements. Any cost overruns not approved by SPARC will be the 4 Regular Meeting Aspen City Council July 10, 2000 responsibility of the city. It will be important to staff to make sure the project stays on budget. Worcester pointed out that this commitment allows SPARC to offer naming rights for fixtures within the ice-skating facility and the recreational complex. Exhibit C outlines equipment, fixtures and features that will be available for these rights. Council should review this list as they are giving up certain rights in this commitment letter. Worcester said (l) on page 8 sates that the city agrees to consult with SPARC on operating policies and procedures for Iselin, the personnel hired and the performance reviews. SPARC's concern is that if they raise $6 or 7 million they want to make sure the facility is operated correctly and efficiently. The only way to do that is to make sure SPARC is involved in the final budget, review of policies and procedures. This is similar to the way the golf course and Wheeler operate. Worcester noted exhibit B is current estimate for phasing and costs associated and the cash flow required. Worcester said this is the best estimate today and may change with more complete detail of the facility. Steve Barwick, city manager, said staff is still working on the conceptual design phase. Worcester said the city will give SPARC 5 days notice if revisions have to be made to the cash flow analysis. The city will then work to get the project at the budget discussed. Worcester said the construction documents have to be tight because the city runs the risk of cost overruns otherwise. Councilman McCabe said he does not have problems with naming rights for things like locker rooms, scoreboards, but does have a problem with naming rights for ballfields and bridges. Councilman Markalunas said naming things should be for people who have contributed a lot to the community over the years and not just contributed a lot of money. Worcester said SPARC has argued that when a donor is ready to give money and have their name on something, they do not want to wait for approval from the city. This is why this list is being included in the letter of commitment. Worcester noted the letter of commitment states the city shall be given an opportunity to approve the name chosen for the facility or fixture to insure good taste and compatibility with the overall design. 5 Regular Meeting Aspen City Council July 10, 2000 Mayor Richards said if SPARC has come up with $4.2 million by the time bids come in for phase I, is Council comfortable with agreeing to construct the shell. Council agreed. Councilman Hershey moved to table Resolution #95, Series of 2000, to later in the meeting; seconded by Councilman McCabe, All in favor, motion carried. RESOLUTION #94, SERIES OF 2000 - 945 East Cooper Parking Space Variance Appeal of HPC Decision John Worcester, city attorney, told Council this is an appeal from a decision made by HPC. Worcester reminded Council they are to determine whether HPC's decision should be upheld. The standard for this is whether there was an abuse of discretion or denial of due process by HPC. Council's decision is based on the record. This is not a re-hearing de novo. Amy Guthrie, community development department, said this project, located at 945 East Cooper, was approved in 1995 and was to restore 2 historic buildings and to add 3 new buildings. The project was to be a mix of free market and affordable housing. The project was very innovative. Ms. Guthrie told Council during construction there were errors made in surveying and in laying out the buildings that resulted in variances before HPC. On May 24, 2000, HPC reviewed a request by Langley and DeCaro families to reduce the width of a required parking space from 8'6" to 8'0" with adequate length. HPC reviewed and approved the variance finding that this was an excellent project; it was very tight in its layout; it was important to try to provide on-site parking. Ms. Guthrie noted in April 2000, HPC granted a 7'0" parking space for another lot. Ms. Guthrie noted that HPC followed all the adequate code requirements and procedures in the review of this parking variance. HPC addressed only the issues related to the variance request itself. Dennis Green, representing Neil Ross, one of the applicants told Council there were originally 4 applicants and now there are 3 out of 5 owners who are Neil Ross, (lot E) Floyd and Faith Rose (lot A), Jerry and Jane Hatem (lot C). Green told Council he has some exhibits and photographs to present and testimony from a surveyor. Green said these are new exhibits and this is a developing situation with new information. Worcester said the Code 6 Regular Meeting Aspen City Council July 10, 2000 allows an appeal and this appeal is of the record. Worcester said the applicant is asking to introduce new evidence. Green said this is demonstrative evidence to illustrate the situation. Green said the surveyor's testimony is crucial and will indicate the surveyor did not set the corners and that the corners were outside the building envelope. Green told Council the red tag was lifted based on the representation that this was an innocent mistake. Green said the testimony could demonstrate it was not and there is significant impact on the other residences. Councilman Hershey reiterated this appeal only addresses whether due process was served or there was abuse of discretion. Worcester answered it does. Worcester said it is up to Council to determine if they want to take in any new evidence. The code does not allow new evidence and Worcester suggested Council not allow new evidence because the applicant who received the variance also has certain rights. The applicant received a variance from HPC and Council's job is to determine whether an abuse of discretion or denial of due process occurred. Green said he believes there was an abuse of discretion and denial of due process. This evidence is not new evidence; it is demonstrative evidence like photographs. Green said the key issue is whether Mr. Langley knew that his building was outside the building envelope. The surveyor will testify that he told the builder that there was a problem. Neil Ross will testify he talked to Langely about this and Langely was going to proceed anyway. Green said these events have occurred after this variance appeared before HPC. Worcester asked if Ross was given an opportunity to present this evidence at the HPC hearing. Green said they did not know about this at the time. Councilman Hershey said the record shows they were given this opportunity. Green said Ross was cut off at the hearing and was not able to present some information. Worcester said that is relevant testimony but the evidence is not. Ross said the HPC Chair told him that the public hearing was closed and he could not comment further. Ross said he had more information to share with HPC but was denied that process. Mayor Richards noted the record shows 5 paragraphs of comments by Ross, comments by Goshorn, further comments by Ross before the Chair closed the public hearing. 7 Regular Meeting Aspen City Council July 10, 2000 Green said there is developing information from the surveyor that is key. The red tag was lifted after the HPC meeting, which was based on HPC's decision. Green said this is new information that Council could consider. Mayor Richards said the record does not show a request to continue the HPC hearing for developing information or that people could not be present to testify. Green said Ross was not fully aware of what the surveyor was indicating and the red tag was lifted after the meeting. The red tag was lifted based on a representation to staff that the mistakes were inadvertent, not deliberate. The surveyor was going to testify that he told the contractor that he could not lay out the points to show the building envelope and based on that information, the building envelope would be 4 feet into the common area. Worcester said the issue of the red tag and whether it should have been lifted is not an issue at this meeting. The issue before Council is whether HPC abused their discretion or whether there was a violation of due process. Any evidence from the surveyor should have been presented before HPC. Worcester said there cannot be a continuing hearing raising new evidence. Councilman Hershey asked if the surveyor was present at the HPC hearing. Ross said he was not. Green said the evidence is part of an evolving process that did not exist at the time of the HPC hearing. Worcester said the applicant was entitled to a due process hearing before HPC at which time he presented reasons for seeking a variance. Anyone opposed had an opportunity to present their evidence, including testimony. The only issue before Council is whether there was a violation of due process at that hearing or whether HPC abused their discretion in some way. Having the surveyor testify does not address that issue unless Green can show the HPC denied Ross the opportunity to have that surveyor speak. Ross said told Council at the HPC meeting he requested that the issue be tabled. Mayor Richards noted the record shows HPC member Friedland said she would rather table the matter as there was so many issues involved and Ms. Guthrie said HPC would have to make a finding that the standards for granting a variance have not been met in order to not take action. Ross said that is when he made the comment he would like the matter tabled. Worcester said even if that occurred it is within the discretion of the HPC to grant or not to grant a continuance, tabling or postponement. Worcester said unless Ross can show that actually happened he also has to show this was an abuse of discretion. 8 Regular Meeting Aspen City Council July 10, 2000 Green said Ross did request a continuance of the hearing. Green said the facts are this creates a significant access problem. Green said the photos show the 6 inches of the parking space is crucial. If one were to park a car there, there is not room to pull the car all the way in. Ross's door is at the end of the parking space and is his access. Mayor Richards said it seems to be a way to get at red tagging the house, stopping construction and deal with an encroachment by appealing a 6" variance. Mayor Richards reiterated all that is before Council is appeal of a 6" variance for a parking space. Green said the common interest act does not provide for an easement for encroachment in cases where there is a willful disregard of the requirements of the plat. The surveyor's testimony would state information the developer knew all along. To lift the red tag and to grant variances deny Ross the right to use his property to get access to his property. That is the denial of due process. Neil Ross noted on page 3 of HPC minutes, 5 paragraph "surveyor did not set the points on the house" and that is what the surveyor would affirm. Ross quoted "the surveyor stated he disclosed to the parties for lot D that the house was out of its footprint". Ross said he disclosed to HPC that the house was directly and knowingly put outside of its footprint. Ross said there are a multitude of encroachments. Councilman Hershey pointed out that is on the record but that is not before Council. Ross said there is an affidavit from Tom Stephenson, the former chief of police, which states there are major encroachments that will impact the public safety and adversely affect the integrity of the entire subdivision. There may not be access for public safety. Ross said the original applicant for the variance should have been the homeowners, not an individual. That encroachment will negatively destroy that subdivision. Green said the red tag was lifted based on the representation that this encroachment was inadvertent. The surveyor will testify differently. Joe Krabacher, representing the Langelys and Angelo DeCaro, cited City of Aspen Municipal Code 26.316.030(e) states the standard of review is based solely on the record established by the body from which the appeal is taken and it shall not be reversed or modified unless there is a finding of denial of due process or its exceeded its jurisdiction or abused it's discretion. Krabacher said there was not denial of due process at the HPC hearing; Ross was there and had an opportunity to testify. Krabacher said the public comment portion of a hearing closes and the board makes its decision and 9 Regular Meeting Aspen City Council July 10, 2000 does not continue to take public comment. Krabacher noted the HPC record shows Ross testified to the hearsay evidence of the contractor. These arguments were considered by the HPC. Krabacher told Council his clients have a lawsuit against the surveyor. Krabacher reiterated the applicants are asking for a variance on the width of the parking space. If the building were 4 feet forward, it would not impact the width of the parking space. One of the reasons the parking space is impacted is that the building to the east has a lightwell built into the parking space. Krabacher said the HPC had a public hearing; public notice was given to all property owners within 300 feet and a notice of public hearing is published in the newspaper. The property was posted with the public hearing notice. Krabacher told Council the surveyor had the opportunity to testify at the HPC hearing. Krabacher noted the HPC has jurisdiction to hear this variance, given by the municipal code. Krabacher said there is an allegation that the proper party did not submit the application for the variance, that it should have been the homeowners. Krabacher contended that a property owner is allowed to submit for variance of a parking space located on his lot. Krabacher said the HPC has the authority to examine demeanor of witnesses and make determinations of willfulness. The standard for abuse of discretion is high and one has to show not a mistake in judgement but the Board was abusing the process and the decision should be overturned. Krabacher asked that Council uphold HPC's decision. Mayor Richards opened the public hearing. Christine Amini told Council she was at the HPC meeting and at no time did she see witness a determination as to whether this was a willful or inadvertent action on behalf of the property owner. This was not discussed. Marsha Goshorn told Council she wrote this development application. Ms. Goshorn told Council the fire access for this property was never planned to be the alley. A fire truck does not go down a dead end alley. The fire access is Cooper street. That is where the fire hydrant is located and that is why the separation between the two buildings on the front of the property. Mayor Richards closed the public hearing. 10 Regular Meeting Aspen City Council July 10, 2000 Green urged Council to hear from the surveyor in case there is an appeal of this. Green said this may change Council's mind on what is going on on this property. Green told Council Ross has the right to build a lightwell in the limited common area and this is the only place it can be built to give light and air to some rooms. Ross told Council he brought in a design for his house, which was rejected by HPC. Ross was directed to redesign the house by HPC. The lightwell and where it is located was at the direction of HPC and is within his limited common elements. This is provided by a survey provided by Langely. Ross said the statement that the variance has to be requested because of his error is factually incorrect. Ross said he likes the concept of combining free market and affordable housing. The applicant for the variance on lot D was the declarant on this project. Ross said lot A was also built by that declarant. There is a 6" clearance to get fire and emergency vehicles between lots A and E from Cooper Street to the houses on the rear of the lot. If there is a lightwell on the south side of lot B, there may be no access. Ross said things have been done improperly on this subdivision and they should be remedied for the welfare of the whole subdivision. Krabacher said a discussion of willful is not part of the standards for a variance and has to do with an encroachment into the general common elements. Councilman Markalunas said his daughter, Lisa Markalunas, sits on HPC and voted on this issue. John Worcester said he would prefer that Councilman Markalunas recuse himself. Councilman Markalunas recused himself from this discussion. Councilman Hershey said there was a legal hearing, notice was given, Ross was there and he could have brought exhibits and witnesses. If he was not given the opportunity to do so, it would have been an abuse of discretion. That was not the case. Councilman Hershey said there is a bigger issue in the subdivision between the property owners and that goes beyond the purview of City Council. Councilman Hershey moved to adopt Resolution #94, Series of 2000, and uphold the decision made by HPC; seconded by Councilman McCabe. Mayor Richards said she supports this motion. It looks like there has been a series of encroachment and mistakes made on all lots. These are 11 Regular Meeting Aspen City Council July 10, 2000 neighborhood issues and the neighbors should be able to work out among themselves instead of using a 6" variance on a single parking space and make one person deal with all the issues and not all the other lots. Mayor Richards said she does not find issues of abuse of discretion or violation of due process in the record or evidence at this hearing that changes her opinion. The issue that HPC approved the lightwell and then approved a variance to accommodate the lightwell seems a natural sequence of events. Mayor Richards said if Council were to deal with all the encroachments in this subdivision, they may have to have a lot of people redo their buildings and change their lot lines. Councilman McCabe agreed he does not see anything in the record that indicates an abuse of discretion or denial of due process. Councilman Paulson agreed he does not find abuse of discretion or denial of due process. Documents that would have been introduced into the record were given to the City Clerk. Roll call vote; Councilmembers McCabe, yes; Hershey, yes; Paulson, yes; Markalunas, abstained; Mayor Richards, yes. Motion carried. CHARTER AMENDMENT - Runoff Election Provision Kathryn Koch, city clerk, said Council has indicated an interest in submitting to the electorate a Charter amendment to require runoff elections for Mayor and/or Council. Ms. Koch said Council may adopt an ordinance to submit this amendment to the voters or Council may form a Charter Commission by ordinance and submit names for a Charter Commission to the electorate. Ms. Koch told Council if they chose to do this by ordinance, it could be submitted to the electorate on the November ballot. The Charter Commission would require more time and the question could be submitted on the May 2001 ballot. In order to draft an ordinance, staff would like to know whether Council wants a runoff for Mayor or for Mayor and Council. If for Council, what should the percentage of votes be, when to have the runoff election and when to have the candidates take office. Mayor Richards said she feels the runoff provision should apply to all offices as the Mayor does not carry any more voting power than Council. 12 Regular Meeting Aspen City Council July 10, 2000 Councilman McCabe said it should only apply to Mayor as that is the highest elected official in Aspen and because the Mayor is the spokesperson for the town and for the Council. Council directed staff to draft an ordinance with runoff provisions for all 3 offices with a simple majority and to make recommendations on when the runoff and swearing in should be. RESOLUTION #95, SERIES OF 2000 - Letter of Commitment to SPARC Mayor Richards recapped Council agrees to support the phasing request with the commitment to build the shell, that the city will manage the contract and will be responsible for any change orders the city incurs and SPARC will be responsible for change orders it comes up with. The issue left on the table is the appropriateness of the naming opportunities. Council's concern is over naming features like bridges and ballfields and that the naming should relate more to community contributions than just financial contributions. Ernie Fyrwald, representing SPARC, said this is an important issue and may make the difference of coming up with the money. Councilman McCabe said he does not have a problem with any items directly related to the sports complex itself. Items part of the bond issue and not part of the fund raising for the sports complex should be outside the naming lists. Fyrwald said their challenge is to raise more money than just for the ice surface, the amount has grown from $6 million up to $10 million and includes common elements. Fyrwald said he does not have problems with Council approval on naming issues. Councilman Hershey asked if donors would be interested in having a bridge named after them if they were giving money to an ice facility. Mayor Richards said the only objections to features she heard were the bridges and the ballfields. Mayor Richards suggested leaving one ballfield Iselin. Fyrwald said this would still be Iselin Park and the fields would be named individually. Mayor Richards suggested Council look at naming opportunities if they feel it is appropriate. Councilman Markalunas said he cannot support geographic place names; anything inside the structure or the facility itself is fine. Councilman Markalunas said geographic place names should be left for more significant or historic contributions. 13 Regular Meeting Aspen City Council July 10, 2000 Councilman Paulson suggesting putting a limit on the number of names at this complex. Mayor Richards pointed out in many facilities, every brick or every seat is named as a way of raising money. Fyrwald said there will only be small plaques from donees on the items. Fyrwald said these will be minor and unobtrusive. Councilman Paulson asked the size of the signs. Fyrwald said there will be an artist rendering with a maximum size for each object as the size and appropriateness will vary. Fyrwald said he will show Council the size of each one. Worcester noted the city gets to pre-approve all signs. Mayor Richards said this is creating a new historical project and the signs will be cataloging the history of today, who are the contributors to modern Aspen. Council agreed with leaving this part of the commitment letter as written. Councilman Markalunas said he is not comfortable with this aspect. Councilman McCabe moved to approved Resolution #95, Series of 2000; seconded by Councilman Hershey. All in favor, motion carried. Councilman Markalunas moved to go into executive session for the purpose of discussing property acquisition and potential litigation at 7:40 p.m.; seconded by Councilman Hershey. All in favor, with the exception of Councilman Paulson. Motion carried. Councilman Hershey moved to come out of executive session at 8:50 p.m.; seconded by Councilman McCabe. All in favor, motion carried. PARTNERS IN BURLINGAME AFFORDABLE HOUSING Mayor Richards moved to allow up to 25 percent of the total affordable housing units to be bought into or made available at cost to vital community service providers of the taxing districts and vital community service providers who have their own taxing funding source; seconded by Councilman Hershey. Mayor Richards said the Aspen Mass project is being discussed as one that employers can buy units and which will probably be rental units. Truscott with 100 units will be long term rental and could also be used by employers. Mayor Richards said the remainder of Burlingame units should be turned over to the general lottery rather than have the business community purchase the units. Mary Roberts, housing director, asked for clarification of "at 14 Regular Meeting Aspen City Council July 10, 2000 cost", are the land costs included. Mayor Richards said she means total subsidy. Roll call vote; Councilmembers Paulson, no; McCabe, yes; Hershey yes; Markalunas, yes; Mayor Richards, yes. Motion carried. Councilman Hershey moved to adjourn the meeting at 9:00 p.m.; seconded by Councilman Markalunas. All in favor, motion carried. Kathryn S.
