Regular Meeting Aspen Planning & Zoning July 10, 1973 Meeting was called to order by Acting Chairman Bruce Gillis at 5:15 p.m. with Barbara Lewis, Charles Vidal, Bryan Johnson, and Jack Jenkins. Also present City/County Planner Herb Bartel, Assistant Planners Fred Wooden and Donna Baer, City Engineer David Ellis, and Fire Chief Willard Clapper. Barbara Lewis moved to approve the minutes of the June 5th, 19th, and 21st meetings as prepared and mailed by the Secretary. Seconded by Johnson. All in favor, motion carried. Commission agreed to hold their next regular meeting on Tuesday, July 17th. View Planes - Future Proposals Fred Wooden suggested the P & Z designate view planes in an orderly progression. Wooden,submitted proposed outline for view controls in a report by Mr. Adam Krivatsy done in December of 1971. Suggested areas for view control include the Jerome Hotel, Courthouse, Cooper Building, Wheeler Opera House, Wagner Park, Rubey Park, and Glory Hole Park. Wooden suggested that since presently the Wheeler Opera House and Wagner Park have good views, the P & Z should begin view consideration of Courthouse and Cooper Building. Vidal suggested incorporating all the view plane con- siderations into one public hearing once the Planning Office has completed the necessary research for the sake of time. Wooden agreed to bring all four view plane considerations forward at the same time. Aspen Architects Collaboration - Commercial Core Proposal Ted Mularz, Chairman of the Aspen Architects Col- oaboration, distributed copies of a memorandum sent from Herb Bartel to the Collaboration. Larry Yaw, a member of the Collaboration, submitted proposal for the implementation of the Urban Design Plan for the Core Area. Yaw suggested that the process would begin with two phases. Phase I would be a programming phase. This would include identification of objectives, ordering and co-ordinating, research (a document with methods, fees, process, etc...) Would provide an idea of the order of activities and what to expect. Phase II would be an inventory phase and would include: (1) identification of resources; (2) mutually current and pertinent information (3) would provide a data base. Not only would this be a physical inventory, but also a legislative inventory (existing regulatory criteria, both state and local). Yaw further suggested that the local legal community organize in the same manner as the Collaboration, since there is much legislative planning to be done. fORM \G C. F.

Yaw suggested that one result of the inventory phase could be a physical model that could be used for visual aid and experh~entation with view corridors, planes, etc. New builders could be required to pro- vide model of their building to set in the City's model. Charles Vidal left the meeting. Herb Bartel suggested that the next step would be for the Planning & Zoning Commission to make a specific recommendation to the Council for a budget decision - financial arrangement to cover the first two phases. Herb Bartel stated that the plan presently does not represent precise boundaries in the case of the Green- way or trail system. Suggests implementation so as not to disturb the activities of the Institute or the Center for Environmental Studies. The P & Z previously adopted the Greenway Plan, and this would be a clarification Resolution. Barbara Lewis moved to adopt the Greenway Plan Reso- lution. Seconded by Johnson. All in favor, motion carried. Vice Chairman Gillis opened the public hearing on the Preliminary Plat for the Villa Phase II. Jim Reser of Tri-Co Management was present along with Ron Windemuller, the developer, and Art Daily, the attorney representing the project. Reser pointed out that the Commission had previously asked him to return with further information on the project. Stated they were to bring the topography up to the top of the hill. (1) The access road will be 24' in order to gain the easement, and; (2) would make grade changing when bridge is finished if re- quired. City Engineer David Ellis submitted a memorandum to the Commission with the following recommendations: 1) An access easement or 24' minimum width (clear roadway width) needs to be provided from Power Plant Road to the subdivider's property.

The minimum turning radius for a single unit truck is 45 feet. 3) Water supply should be from 16" line in Power Plant Road. Fire protection will require an 8" line with 2 - 6" fire hydrants (16" line is presently under construction). 4) Building and site plans shall be submitted to Wright-McLaughlin Engineers, at subdivider's expense, for recommendations on storm water drainage and retention. Recommendations should be received before submittal of final plat, and incorporation of recommendations should be a condition of final plat approval. 5) Subdivider or his successors in title shall agree to join any future storm drainage improvement district or street improvement district including paving, sidewalk, and curb and gutter. 6) Subdivider or his successors in title shall agree to participate in future improvements to Power Plant Road from Castle Creek to West Smuggler Street. 7) All property corners should be set and it would be desirable to have the build ing locations staked. Tri-Co Management has previously agreed to add additional topographic information such as slope, vegetation, property lines and road and bridge lac at ions which do not show on the preliminary plat. Art Daily stated that at this time they would like to have preliminary approval. Donna Baer stated that this was also a stream margin reqest and t~ the report from the Corps of Engineers was on its way.

RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 100 Leaves Regular Meeting Aspen Planning & Zoning July 10, 1973 Bay Street Estates - Preliminary Plat There being no further comments, Vice Chairman Gillis closed the public hearing. Vice Chairman Gillis opened the public hearing on the Preliminary Plat for the Bay Street Estates. Donna Baer stated that this was also a stream margin request. Developer stated they wanted to build a Victorian- style duplex, 1600 square feet/unit, 25' high. It would be permanenthousing with separate ownership. City Engineer David Ellis submitted the following recommendations to the Commission: 1) The major problem of the area is the inadequate existing right-of-way. Dedication of land to provide for a 60' wide right-of-way will be required; this will amount to a strip approxi- mately 20' in width along the frontage. 2) The subdivider should be required to enter into a covenant running with the land to join any future storm drainage district or street im- provement district, including paving, sidewalks, and curb and gutter. 3) The building design and/or site plan should incorporate the capability for storm water retention. 4) The landscaping plan should essentially be the protection of existing trees and shrubs. This can be provided for on the landscaping notes included on the plat. 5) Aspen Metropolitan Sanitation District must be assured an easement for the existing sewer if they do not already have one. This would apply to any other existing utilities. Fire Chief Willard Clapper stated that access is a problem and there is no turn-around available. Commission agreed ID take a field trip to the site of the Bay Street Estates on July 11th after the trip to the Villa. Ms. Baer submitted an engineers' report and stated that there appeared to be no problem with the stream margin request. Remo Lavagnino, a property owner in Oklahoma Flats, stated that he felt that if the Commission allowed this exception, they would be undermining the proposed zoning changes. - ~()RM 10 C. F.

Commission agreed to table Miller's Stream Margin Request. Developer submitted a model of the project, m.d pointed out that they had moved the building 16' closer to Or ig ina 1. City Engineer Ellis stated that he felt the 16' dedication should come at this time. Developer pointed out that in the original plan, they had allowed for a 32' wide green belt. With the alternative plan, the green belt is narrower and the use of the alley is restricted. Jack Jenkins moved to approve the preliminary plat under the previous conditions. Seconded by Lewis.
