Hibberd, Subdivision Exemption City Engineer Ellis outlined his recommendations on this subdivision which included comments by the Fire Chief. Mr. Ellis outlined the following points: The site con- ditions can be overcome but not without detrimental af- fects to a substantial portion of the site as a whole. No construction should be allowed on slopes that are greater than 50%. Footers shall be at a minimum of 6'. Great amount of vegetation will be destroyed causing erosion and drainage problems. A new 6" water main will be required to adequately serve these sites which will require crossing 100% grade. Mr. Ellis gave the following recommendations: (1) Wright and McLaughlin Engineers be retained to make specific recommendations for drainage and storm water retention for units proposed for 1973: (2) Chen and Associates should perform a site inspection of the excavations dur- ing construction to determine if the soil is stable. (3) All cut and fill areas should be controlled with either concrete retaining walls or timber cribbing: (4) A 6" ductile fire main be extended from the City's 12" main on Little Nell and a 6" fire hydrant be in,. stalled at the ground level of the existing units. A 20' easement be granted to the City for maintenance, also a fire hydrant at top of site. (5) A system of stand pipes and hose cabinets be installed as speci- fied by the Fire Chief and City Engineer: (6) All disturbed areas shall be revegetated with fast growing trees, shrubs and grass as per a landscaping plan: (7) Developer shall dedicate the existing ski trail below proposed site. Dedication should be by metes and bounds description: (8) A detailed site plan be submitted for the 1973 units showing existing structural locations, proposed sites, utility and service plan, plus items mentioned above: (9) Developer and home owners associa- tion shall agree to maintain private fire protection system: (10) Developer and home owners association shall agree to join in future improvement districts: (11) Developer shall provide bond for the cost of completing all items listed above.

When development - '"" RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 1 00 Leaves FORM,D C.f.HOECKELB.O.Itl.CO. Regular Meeting Aspen planning & Zoning June 19, 1973 occurs, they request only 10' around each site be dis- turbed. Jus~ that amount of disturbance will increase the run off by 200%. It is Questionable if re-vege- tation can take place to take care of the drainage. Mr. Hibberd stated he would excavate with very small equipment and in some areas would excavate by hand. Mr. Hibberd also presented a $4,000 bond to cover the replanting. Mr. Hibberd also stated he would be willing to redesign his plans to eliminate the foundations and put the structures on columns. Vice Chairman Gillis recommend only one unit be allowed this year to see what the impacts to the land are. Mr. Hibberd stated he would commit to having no excavation equipment on tiE site. Commission reouest Mr. Hibberd work out all technical reouirements with the City Engineer and Fire Chief and their report be in writing. Further Mt; Hibberd either redesign the structures (3) sites) with no excavation or Commission will con- sider only 1 site for 1973 with excavation. View Planes Vice Chairman Gillis opened the public hearing on view plane from the Hotel Jerome and from Rubey Park. Assistant Planner Wooden reviewed with the Commission and citizens maps showing the view to be retained from the Hotel Jerome frontage on Main of Aspen Mountain and Shadow Mountain. Slides of the view were shown es- tablishing the height of buildings in the view plane of 20'. Feel this is a legitimate re~uest because it does start on public right-of-way; consideration is now under way of designating the Hotel Jerome as a his- toric site; and the Hotel Jerome plays a major part as relates to meeting of people. Resolution approving the view plane and recommending same to Council was submitted. Mr. Russ Pielstick stated he was against this proposal, presently the architect on the proposed building for the vacant lot across the street. By the time this proposal was heard of, the design of the project was complete and had met with the Building Inspector and met all code requirements. Mr. Pielstrick showed to the Commis- sion the plans of the building and what the view plane does to the project. Stated this creates a zoning en- velope, view of the back of the Opera House and further feel the mountains are a part of the heritage of the City and should be enjoyed by all by view corridors from the mall, Chamber of Commerce steps, Paepcke Park, etc. ,.^","_._T Ill_ . ,... -.
