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. Presently zoned tourist and the value

of that land is based on that zoning. 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.
Recommend to the Commission that the resolution be acted
on by the Planning and Zoning Commission because they are
only a recommending body. 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.
Gillis moved to adopt the resolution with the following con-
ditions: (l)that the Planning and Zoning Commission set
development standards that would be used as the basis for
review of development proposals along the zoned boundary
line between the existing AR and A/F zoned districts: (2)
8040 line be surveyed; (3) request City Council adopt volun-
tary moratorium of development of the properties as repre-
sented this evening. Seconded by Jordan. All in favor,
motion carried.
Goodhard moved to recommend to the City Council that all
properties that are to be developed within the year of the
moratorium be bound by the limitations of the ordinance.
Seconded by Lewis. All in favor, motion carried.
List of proposed uses was submitted by Mr. Bartel including
the following: surface parking to accommodate 800 spaces
(8 acres); street dedications including Mill Street, Spring
Street, Bleeker Street, Galena Street; maintenance and
storage for buses used in the shuttle system; car impound
lot; ambulance storage area; neighborhood type uses i.e.

area for a civic center. Presently the City is having two
appraisals of the land so that the boundary lines of the
property are established. Also housing for government
employees and those employees which are generated by the
uses of the property.
Bruce Gillis left the meeting.

businesses in that they may attract from the downtown. Mr.

and working on management of the property could give some
answers to this nuestion once they have studied the problems.
Mr. Jordan stated he felt an auto body shop should be in-
cluded and also a cultural center.
Mr. Fritz Benedict was present and presented his plan for
reinstating the railroad tracks and the suggestion that this
might be included at this time in planning the area.
