RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 100 Leaves Regular Meeting Planning and Zoning December 12, 1972 Meeting was called to order at 5:00 p.m. by Acting Chairman Jim Adams, with Anthos Jordan, Bruce Gillis, Barbara Lewis, Vic Goodhard and Charles Vidal. City/County Planner Herb Bartel and Assistant Planner Fred Wooden were also present. Woerndle Subdivision Several weeks ago Steven Ware, attorney for Mr. Woerndle, asked that the P & Z proceed with approval of the Woerndle Plat. The County P & Z had recommended that the City annex the property since it abuts the present City line. Mr. Wooden pointed out that a letter had been sent to the applicant in April outlining the P & Z concerns. He felt those concerns are answered by the plat before the P & Z at present. He pointed out that the overall square footage of the property (minus roads and the 4% public use requirement) was sufficient to establish 7 building sites, even though plotted lots are not 15,000 square feet. Mr. Ware said there are problems in the area that this proposal is going to solve. One is that McSkimming Road comes over onto private land and that problem can be taken care of by dedicating to the public the 30' from the center line of the public right-of-way. The City has a water pumping station on private land and might need a piece of land to straighten out their access to Highway 82. Put in a pedestrian right-of-way extending to property line. We have planned only seven optimum building sites so there will not be any building on steep slopes or in areas of water seepage. There will be an easement across the ditch for pedestrians, and nothing will happen within 10' of each side of the ditch. These lots are made small to re- strict the area that the actual buildings can go on. We have made buffer zones between the houses and roads. We have provided for the encroachment of one of the buildings in Aspen Grove Subdivision with an easement for the roof top. Fred Wooden said that we could do again here what was done with the Brownell Subdivision by reviewing the PUD plans and the Subdivision plans at the same time. It should be indicated to the applicant this evening that the general concept meets the approval of the P & Z. For common areas and right-of-way there is a need for a Home Owners Assoc- iation. The City Engineer is concerned that Aene Court remain a public right-of-way for access to Alpine Haus and the Ferguson property. Anthos Jordan made a motion to approve the plan in concept with the following conditions: exclude duplexes; soil analysis be required for building below the ditch; a ped- estrian right-of-way along the ditch line be included in FORMSG C.F.HOECKELB.B.Il:L.CO. r- ~ RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 100 Leaves Regular Meeting Federal Grant letter for Tennis Courts Interim Bus System Planning and Zoning December 12, 1972 the plan; dedicate the Aene Court cul-de-sac to the City, after it has been improved by the developer.

Fred Wooden said this is why we felt it necessary to temper the concept approval with soil verification on 3 sites. City/County Planner Bartel reported that the Parks and Recreation Department has prepared an application for the grant and aid funds for tennis courts at Islin Park. It was recommended by the Bureau of Outdoor Recreation that these applications be reviewed by the local planning com- mission before they are submitted. The proposed letter was reviewed. Funding was explained as previously presented to Council. Charles Collins moved that the P & Z approve the proposed tennis courts at Islin Park as submitted for their review. Bruce Gillis seconded the motion. All in favor, motion carried. Herb Bartel presented the Amendment to the City Subdivision Regulations, to the Commissioners for their consideration before the public hearing on December 19, 1972. The City Council had asked that Mr. Marsh and Mr. McCauley meet with the P & Z concerning this proposal. Mr. Marsh outlined the preliminary proposal: They are proposing to form a corporation to supply to the City of Aspen and to Pitkin County, on a four year con- tractual basis, a flexible interim mass transit system. Service would commence by November 1973. There are two sections: an in-town shuttle and beginnings of a regional system. The in-town shuttle would consist of specially constructed 40 passenger vehicles; GMC using propane fuel. The basic design would resemble a San Francisco cable car. They would be simple with easy maintenance, and open-sided design, for quick load and unload. The buses would run on two intersecting routes with approximately five minutes headway at peak seasons. Cost estimates are based on 8 vehicles for 18 hours a day for the four peak winter months, 7 vehicles 14 hours a day for the two peak summer months. - """ ~ , ----- RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 100 Leaves FORII! \~ C. F. HOE:CItEL B. B. Il< L. CO. Regular Meeting Planning and Zoning December 12, 1972 There would be two airport shuttle buses, of a different design, servicing the airport 15 times per day in peak seasons. This is a free bus system. At the end of the four year service, if an alternative system has not been operational, that contract eould be renewed on a year to year basis. There are various options for financing such a system. The revenue from the 1% sales tax would not even be enough to support even a minimal system. They offered some suggestions as to possible revenue: (l) fees from off street parking (2) parking permit fees (3) airport tax to price of tickets (4) fees to the price of lift tickets (5) a coupon system where lodges and restaurants and lifts pay a share of the costs in proportion to the number of guests. They are assuming the entire responsibility for planning and implementation for this system, and are asking the City to take no risks and put up no capital. They are asking for a 4 year performance contract. If the performance standards as drawn up in a contract are not satisfactory, the City could terminate its involvement with- in a specified period of time. The first money that the City would have to pay would be on the first day of operation of the system. They are talking of a preliminary yearly cost estimate for a minimum intown system of $409,827. If there is an expression of interest by the Council and other bodies, a detailed and accurate proposal could be prepared within 60 days. A contract for the system to be in oper- ation by November 1973, has to be signed by March 1973. It was suggested that they contact the P & Z first. Herb Bartel said to have a direct evaluation of the P & Z re- quirements; draft a proposal that the P & Z can look at; meet with the Transportation Committee for possible routes to have a more precise idea of the cost involved, by de- termining the length of the routes. Vic Goodhard made a motion to adjourn the meeting at 6:30. Seconded by Jim Adams. All in favor, meeting adjourned. '/(~~ -~(R~~~J Karen Dreager, cording Secretary
