Regular Meeting Aspen Planning & Zoning July 6, 1971 Meeting was called to order by Chairman Robin Molny at 5:05 P. M. with Victor Goodhard, Anthos Jordan and James Breasted. Also present City Manager Leon Wurl and Regional Planner Herb Bartel. Parking Parking - Mr. Bartel explained the committee composed of Leon Wurl, Charles Vidal, City Attorney Kern, Councilman Jack Walls and Mr. Bartel recommend not providing parking at this time but those persons desiring to develop would pay into a fund marked for the purpose of solving the parking problem at a fixed price per space. The amount suggested is $4800.00 per space. Further sugges the option of providing on site parking be eliminated. Parking re- quirements would be used as a basis for determining the number of spaces and amount that would have to be con- tributed to the fund per space. City Manager Wurl explained the City Manager is responsible for the form of the lease. Until the amount to charge and some indication of location is established, the leases cannot be drafted. These items need to be clarified for the administration. Charles Collins arrived. Rubey Park Mr. Bartel explained in analyzing Rubey Park for surface parking the cost would be $5,000 per space. The $4800 was determined in using the national average cost figures, lower cost of land than Rubey Park and also inflation. Figures may have to be adjusted in 5 years. City Manager Wurl stated once a structure is built, the guy who has already paid, would not be charged again. Those who had not would pay a fee to park and this would apply to only the downtown area. Discussed a lower fee and it was determined that the cost to the City justifies the $4800 figure. $4800 is a con- servative amount. Discussed other forms of revenue to meet the costs for providing parking, i. e., special sticker at the time of purchasing license plates; parking district. It was pointed out at simetime a parking district would have to be formed to pick up those establishments that are not paying. Further mentioned was the fact that in not providing the parking on the site, the developer could develop that portion of the site. Those persons now providing parking, could contribute to the fund for space and now build on there onsite parking spaces. Mr. Bartel suggest the Commission schedule a public hearing at this time and in the meantime meet in a study session with those persons who are now waiting for a cost figure to get their reaction. Chairman Molny established August 3rd as the hearing date. '""' RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 100 Leaves fOJ!Il'1 C.F.KOECKELO.B.IlL.CO.

City Ha 11 City Hall - City Manager Wurl request the Commission consider whether the City Hall shall continue in the present building, should the City acquire the lots behind City Hall and build a new building or should the City Hall be next to the courthouse as outlined in the Master Plan. This information is needed prior to budget time and review of the capital improvements budget. Mr. Bartel further stated he had discussed with Jerry Brown what he had in mind at the time of preparing the Master Plan and Mr. Brown states in 1965 there was not that much construction or new construction in this area and also the present structure of City Hall was unsound. Third floor is condemned. Mr. Bartel further explained the first draft of historic zoning has been prepared and the Commission should serious- ly consider the type of architecture that the City Hall represents. Historic zoning procedures would set up a commission that would make the designation of the build- ings that should be preserved. Mr. Bartel stated he felt that the courthouse and City Hall are close together enough so that there is no problem when and if the City and County combine their facilities. City Manager Wurl stated a cost figure of $30,000 was discussed to make the present building structurally sound to accommodate the third floor. Without the police depart- ment in this building, the City would out grow the present building in three to five years. Planning and Zoning Commission agreed to propose for the public hearing, amending the Master Plan to include the one half block where the City Hall presently sits along with what is in the Master Plan. Chairman Molny established August 3rd as the hearing date to amend the Master Plan. Chairman Molny to review the capital improvements program with the City Manager.
