Episcopal Church- Ordinance #19 Review Norway Shadows - Ordinance #19 Review & Subdivision - preliminary Plat Ms. Baer explained that the Episcopal Church was located at the corner of North and Fifth Streets. Further stated that the existing structure is a conditional use. Architect Ted Mularz submitted drawing of proposed building, and gave a brief history. Mularz pointed out the need for additional classroom facilities and a large meeting room. Mularz stated that the Building Committee had done a Master Plan in order to do the project in phases. Could take from 5-10 years for ultimate completion. Stated the first priority was the Church-proper. Mularz pointed out that they would like to re-do the roof. Under present regulations, can build to 37~ feet, but are looking at 34 feet. Would extend the Church 10 feet to the south, or 300square feet, and would replace the present spiral staircase with regular walkup-type stairway. Mularz gave a present site description. Stated they would have room for 9 additional parking spaces. Felt there were no technical problems as far as the variance 'was concerned. Whitney Miller was present and pointed out that the existing structure is twelve years old. Ms. Baer stated that the Planning Office had no objections to the proposal. Jenkins stated that he would like to see the project come in as a Master Plan since the function of the building will not change. Chairman Adams suggest they come in after Ordinance #19 for the rest of the project. Commission agreed to grant approval of the project. Chairman Adams opened the public hearing on Norway Shadows Subdivision, Preliminary Plat. Charles Brandt, Attorney, was present representing preusch Properties, Inc. Brandt described the location of the project as 711 S. Aspen, the site presently occupied by the Norway Lodge. Brandt submitted plans for the project and stated there was 41,000 square feet of land. The Norway Lodge is currently renting on a month-to-month basis, with an average of 6 month-l year occupancy. Further stated that currently the rent is relatively low and the occupancy is 100%. Brandt stated that the proposed use was 27 units in three seperate structures: (1) Building A - 9 units (all 2 Bdr); (2) Building B - 6 units (all 3 Bdr); (3) Building C - 12 units (all 2 Bdr). The three buildings would occupy 13,300 square feet. --,.......

Continued Meeting Aspen Planning & Zoning September 6, 1973 Brandt pointed out that although part of the property lies in the AR zone, the AR transition line bisects the property. Brandt showed the proposed new development on a sketch plan. POinted out that there would be a 30% building coverage. Presently approximately 15% coverage. NOw 16 parking spaces, and would be 12 more spaces under Building C. Stated buildings would be staggered so that the project would not appear so massive. Brandt pointed out that access would be off of Aspen Street. The grade goes from 7,990 feet to 7,955 feet, which is not steep. As far as water protection, developers don't have reading, but realize it is low and are willing to replace the 6" main with an 8" main. Feel that the combination of a transportation system and the parking spaces make the circulation system adequate. The developer feels that the height and bulk of the project will be minimized by the fact that it is tucked to the side of a hill. At this point, Brandt showed slides of the proposed site. Lewis questioned the height of the structures, and Brandt replied that it would be within the 28 foot height limit. Brandt stated that the developer was willing to donate existing structures to the City as possible employee housing if they build project. Brandt stated that the condominiums would be in the $70,000 - $90,000 sale range. Further gave a brief summary of the problem with the AR transition line. Ms. Baer ran down the Ordinance #19 provisions which would be applicable to this project. Stated that the density would go from 30, in the current structure, to 100, in the proposed development, although these would not be year-round figures. Ms. Baer pointed out that: (1) AR transition -buildings limited to 2,500 square feet per building with a height limit of 25 feet; (2) does not blend into ski hill; (3) intensive use of land - should be lowered; (4) rural design for hillside structures - does not fit; (5) cover- age is maximum with this project. Ms. Baer further pointed out the following subdivision considerations: (1) 6" water main - no density should be added at this site at this time; (2) Willard Clapper expressed concern with acces in:and around the site; (3) Dave Ellis - generally poor state of access street due to grade, width, dead-ended, unimproved cul-de-sac, etc. Ms. Baer stated that the Planning Office feels these de- ficiencies should be corrected before consideration of raising density. Vidal stated the problem of water pressure could be solved by adding an 8" line and a booster pump. Brandt pointed out that occupancy would probably not, be 100 year-round. . . - '" RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 100 Leaves FORM 50 C. F. HOECKEL B. B.& L. CO. continued Meeting Aspen Planning & Zoning September 6, 1973 Brandt further pointed out that Ordinance #19 lines are not hard and fast, and felt that the rural scale and de- sign fits in. As far as fire access is concerned, feel that the same problem exists anywhere and that you can get in-and-around. Jenkins pointed out that from anywhere you stand on the project, all you see is building. Vagneur stated that she felt that the proposed project looks much better than what is currently occupying the site. Chairman Adams pointed out that condominiums give the school more revenue and less children. Johnson stated that he fe%t nothing could be done at this meeting since so much is still unresolved. Vidal pointed out that the developer should look at dif- ferent clustering of the buildings, and feels that ob- server could hardly see the buildings unless one was standing across the street. Felt developer should wait and come in with less density that would cause less ap- prehension on the part'of the Commission. Chuck Vidal left the meeting. Chairman Adams stated he felt a better site plan could be developed, with the possibility of going up rather than spreading out. Stated the Commission had given the de- veloper some guidelines, but could not act at this meeting due to a number of things that are unresolved. At this point', Lewis expressed a desire for more study sessions due to the fact that 1/8 of the time covered by Ordinance #19 had expired. Commission tabled the subdivision plat for Norway Shadows. Bryan Johnson made a motion to adjourn the meeting at 7:00 p.m., seconded by Jack Jenkins. All in favor, motion carried. Meeting adjourned.
