Mr. Dick Meeker was present and requested to know when the Commission desired to view the site as per stream margin request of the last meeting. Commission agreed to meet on the 15th at 12:00 a.m. Anthos Jordan arrived. Greenline Resolution Attorneys Stephan Ware and Joe Carney were present to speak on behalf of Spar Consolidated Mining and Smuggler/Durant Mining Corporation. Chairman Adams stated their comments would not be made a part of the public hearing, but would be a part of the Planning and Zoning Commissions minutes. Attorney Ware representing Smuggler/Durant Mining Corporation, Mr. Mitchel, and Mr. Bielefelt stated the people he represents own a large portion of the land in question. They are oppos- ed to any further action or consideration of the resolution; legally feel they would have a strong case against this ordinance if passed. They do not wish to discredit the Planner's office but feel due to lack of funds alternatives were not considered. The line is inflexible in that there is land above the 8040 line that is amenable to development and some land below the line is not. These property owners feel they are being excluded from development of their pro- perty. He does not agree with the language covering the re- view. The landowner would be at the mercy of who is in off- ice at the time. Suggest entering into negotiations between the City and landowners with a compromise solution. Clients did hire a planner from Denver who agrees that in concept this area can be developed in a limited way to the benefit of the City and the landowner. Perhaps the public hearing should be reopened to avoid certain litigation. Smuggler! Durant Mining Corporation would be willing to agree to a moratorium until such time as negotiations have been started. Would like to establish some kind of density in this area as relates to the value of the property. Mr. Moberg, the Planner from Boulder hired by Spar Consoli- dated and Smuggler/Durant Mining Corporation, submitted to the Commission a memo outlining what they felt were the al- ternatives to this regulation. With the regulation as written, development would occur along the base of the mountain. Could have planned site planning for the entire area. Mr. Joe Carney, Attorney, stated this regulation leaves Spar Consolidated with a great amount of land that cost a great deal of money.

This kind of zoning may create a subdivision above the 8040 line, this zoning allows for single family housing. Commission reviewed with those present the area in question on the mountain and the ownerships of land. Mr. Carney stated Spar Consolidated is now having all their land surveyed to establish what land could be built on and what land'could not. Mr. Bartel stated to the Commission that the intent of the resolution is that all development along the line would be subject to review. There must be certain standards set for review which have not been accomplished as of this date.

Outlined the following conditions that should be met along with the adoption of the resolution: (1) specific standards for review must be set prior to Coun- cil acting on any resolution for the mountain; (2) the 8040 line be surveyed; (3) investigate voluntary moratorium. For those property ownerships not represented at this meeting which would fall under the voluntary moratorium, would ask for temporary enactment of the ordinance which would re- quire those developments to follow the standards and review process.
