Historic Overlay District Schiffer opened for discussion the boards feelings with regard to the Historic Overlay District and the public hearing. He suggested that maybe the matter should be tabled because any decision made by the board now would be effective one year per Ordinance 9. He hoped that a criteria could be developed by the Historic Preservation Committee before going into the zoning code. John Stanford felt that the criteria should be separate from the zoning code because on entire ordinance procedure must be completed for any change to be accomplished in the criteria. He also stated that procedurally, the H.P.C. hope to hold public hearings when any building came before them for review. Schiffer felt that with the matter tabled, a resolution could be made that a criteria could be set up and presented to Council. Council would or would adopt the resolution and it would then become part of the zoning code. Jenkins felt that the H.P.C. should report to the P & Z when reviewing and that the P & Z should make the final decision. Johnson felt that the district should be approved with conditions. Vagneur moved that the matter be tabled until the H.P.C. could bring back a criteria. Seconded by Jenkins, all in favor with the exception of Johnson. Barnard abstained. City Attorney Stuller informed the board that a recommendation would have to be made to Council within 30 days of the public hearing. Vagneur moved that a resolution formally requesting criteria and procedures included in the ordinance and presented as soon as possible. Landry seconded. All in favor with the exception of Barnard, who abstained. Extension of Ordinance 19 Members of the H.P.C. who were present felt the criteria would be ready in 2 or 3 weeks to go before a public hearing. Schiffer felt that the board was not ready to make recommendation to Council with regard to Ordinance 19. For the sake of continuity, he felt that an extension should be requested. He felt that the board adopt as guidelines the Planning Office's proposals on density and F.A.R. At this time he felt that the status quo on parking be preserved. Jim Moran requested that if any modification was made to the ordinance that it be done in explicit language. He felt there had been great time loss in trying to determine what the law meant. Barnard felt that the F.A.R. proposals were a little stringent but that before they became part of the zoning code they could be modified. -2- FORM 10 C.F.HO~CKELB.B.&L.co. '""" RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 100 Leaves Regular Meeting July 2, 1974 Exemption from definition of sUbdivision; Ward RBH Building Planning & Zoning Length of time of the extension was discussed. Johnson felt that they should apply for enough time so that another extension would not be necessary. Schiffer felt that a schedule should be set of study sessions for dealing with the zoning maps and that these sessions would look at individual neighborhood. Janet Landry suggested that a pert chart be utilized until problems are resolved and they could come up to a new zoning chart. Schiffer suggested that Planning put together such a chart. Johnson moved for a resolution for an extension of 6 months of Ordinance 19 with adoption of density, F.A.R., and parking recommendations. Seconded by Jenkins; all in favor. The Ward duplex is an already built duplex located on Cemetary Lane. He is requesting an exception to the definition of subdivision. Schiffer stated that he did not qualify for an exception in that he did not fall under the special circumstances for an exception. He did qualify for an exemption. Barnard moved that an exemption be granted from the definition of subdivision under Sec.20-10(c) in that the property is on platted lots and blocks and that it does satisfy all the design requirements of Sec. 20-7. Jenkins seconded. All in favor. Applying for an exemption from the definition of subdivision under Sec. 20-10(c) because they are on platted lots and blocks. Vagneur is abstaining from discussion and vote. Donna Baer stated that they met all the necessary requirements except that of access. She stated the possibility of access from the Rio Grande around the back of the Court House between the shed and into the alley from the west. The Planning Office would suggest exemption with the condition that a deed of easement be submitted for Planning files before a building permit be issued. Johnson moved that an exemption be granted under Sec. 20-10(c) because the property is on platted lots and blocks and did satisfy design requirements on the condition that they obtain an access easement from the County and present a copy of the Deed of Easement to the Planning Department prior to issuance of a building permit.

RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 100 Leaves July 2, 1974 Regular Meeting RBH Building Clarification of Housing & Parking Requirements Ord.19Reviews Popcorn Wagon Exemption AEM Apts. Request for Modification of Deed Covenant Planning & Zoning Conditional conceptual approval was given with employee housing and parking to be given further consideration. Planning's recommendation at this time was that the housing requirement be dropped and that buy-out would be the solution to the parking requirement if the developers so chose. In solving their housing and parking problem, it was pointed out that all the employees are permanent residents and already have housing. Also the Trueman property is only l~ blocks from the proposed building and they would be willing to lease-out parking from the city. Barnard moved that the board delete the condition of housing from the preliminary stage. Johnson seconded. All in favor except Collins and Vagneur who abstained. The Popcorn Wagon which would be situated on the old Snowmass Pavilion site. It would include a patio and an extension onto the Mall. Tables and chair would be on the Mall with a fence on one side and planters on two other sides--no permanent structures. It was Planning's recommendation that approval for exemption be granted because of minimal impact. Collins moved that the Popcorn Wagon be granted an exemption from Ordinance 19. Johnson seconded; all in favor. The owners thru their attorney Marty Kahn request that some modification be made to the deed covenant binding them to restrict rental periods to at least 6 months. It was their hope thpt the covenant would not run forever and that it could be changed by the board and imposed for a reasonable period of time, a time period to be decided by the board. Both Barnard & Jenkins stated that in their background in requesting approval of their 8 units they were always discussed in an employee housing sense and that it was not right for them to come back at this time and request a change. Kahn said he thought that conditions would change in employee housing needs and that it was not fair to impose a permanent covenant of this type on the property. Donna Baer stated that if an when zoning changed in the area of the property, review of the covenant could be considered. Collins felt that when changes did occur in the area, that it would be at that time that they should come and request a review and possible change. Schiffer felt that from a legal standpoint that an agreement with the City would suffice. -4- FORM 10 C.F.HOECKoLB.9.&L.CO. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 100 Leaves July 2, 1974 Regular Meeting 620 Hyman Conceptual Law Four-Plex Preliminary & Final Planning & Zoning Barnard moved that they do nothing with the request, leave the covenant as is. Seconded by Jenkins; all in favor except Schiffer, who dissents. The developers have returned with a second conceptual presentation because the first did not meet with the approval of the board. They reviewed those buildings that were immediately around them and passed under Ordinance 19. The new plans have reduced the size of the building by 25% and that reduction came out of usable space. The proposal consisted of a restaurant in the basement level and three other stories that would house professional office space. Donna Baer pointed out that the area was zoned commercial and residential and it was their hope that housing would be considered on at least one, preferably the top floor. Don Fleisher presented the viewpoint of the developers in that they did not want housing. The disruption of the open space needed in a professional building plus the added cost of installing the plumbing needed for individual units would not be economically sound for such expensive land. The rental that would have to be charged would not be in line with employee housing. Also, he felt that the area was not conducive to housing, i.e. noise and traffic. Barnard felt that in all fairness, the building did not look out of line. Schiffer stated that the floor ratio was improved by the 2,000 square feet reduction. Motion was made by Vagneur that conceptual approval be granted. Seconded by Barnard; all in favor except Jenkins, who abstained. Both Planning and Engineering had reviewed the final plans for the proposed building and asked that conditional approval be given. Planning's conditions being 1) to provide 6 parking spaces and 2) a covenant between the City and the owners be executed for long term rental. Engineering conditions were 1) provisions for drainage, 2) existing trees remain and others added and 3) trash pads be added. The Board was in agreement with all the above recommedations. Motion was made by Johnson that approval be given on the condition that 6 parking spaces be'provided, a long term rental covenant be drawn between owners and the City, provisions for drainage be made, existing trees remain and others added, and trash pads be added. Jenkins seconded, all in favor. -5- RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 100 Leaves FORMIC C.F.HO~CKoLB.8.&L.CO.
