M. with James Adams, James Breasted, Charles Collins, Vic Goodhard, Anthos Jordan and Charles Vidal. Also present Herb Bartel, City/County Planner and Fred Wooden, Assistant Planner. Minutes Minutes - Breasted moved to approve the minutes of July 20th with the correction of the heading. Seconded by Collins. All in favor, motion carried. Study Session - Commission request the minutes be amended to include the wording "with PUD" at the end of the consensus statement. Public Hearing - City Hall Public Hearing - City Hall - Chairman Molny opened the public hearing. Mr. Wooden read the recommendations outlined in the Master Plan, and stated since the 1966 Plan does not agree with the recommendation because of the following reasons: (1) Extensive remodeling of the present City Hall structure has taken place; (2) It would be fiscally difficult to commit to such a project of such magnitude; (3) Delineation of this recommendation would not affect the long range objectives of the Master Plan. It is estimated to make the present structure structurally sound would cost about $30,000. A distinction has to be made as to whether the present building has historical significance. Chairman Molny closed the public hearing. Mr. Jordan reiterated previous statement by City Manager Wurl that the City facilities could stay in this one half block for 20 years. Question now is whether the area next to the court house should be pursued or not and whether the present structure structure should be removed or re- modeled. Mr. Bartel pointed out the City does not have any other land that has the relationship to the court house as the present site does. Commission request Mr. Bartel relay the City Planning and Zoning's views to the County Planning and Zoning. Mr. Vidal pointed out the Commission should allow for alternatives and not commit the City to one location at this time, until such time as more information is available on the designation of the present structure. Breasted moved to table a decision on this public hearing. Seconded by Jordan. All in favor, motion carried. Parking RequirementsChairman Molny opened the public hearing on parking re- C-C, C-l quirements in the C-C and C-l zones and parking fees. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 100 Leaves FORM 10 C. r. ~OECKEL 8. 6. & L. CO. Regular Meeting, Aspen P & Z, 8/3/71 Chairman Molny outlined the proposal as being $4,800 fee per space for leasing from the City in lieu of providing spaces in the zones mentioned above. Mr. Molny read ex- cerpt of Ordinance #21, Series of 1968 which allowed leasing of parking spaces. Since that time ordinance has been amended to allow the City Manager to establish the parking fee. Mr. Dunaway questioned if the requirements for parking are eliminated, how does one know how many spaces a person is to lease. Mr. Bartel stated the requirements would not be eliminated but the choice of either providing parking on the site and leasing would be eliminated. It would be mandatory to lease to fulfill the parking requirements in the C-C and C-l zones. Mrs. Carla Cutting questioned where the spaces are being provided. Mr. Vidal explained there is nothing definite at this time, but when the transportation study is complete some other form of transportation system may be proposed and the car eliminated. Chairman Molny stated the Planning and Zoning would not want to recommend to the Council the buying of spaces when a different form of transportation may be approved. Mr. Dunaway suggest that in light of recent City Council action, the Planning and Zoning tailor their ammendment so that payments could be made over a 20 year period. Chairman Molny closed the public hearing. Mr. Herb Bartel suggest the Planning and Zoning consider carefully their recommendations in light of recommending something that there is no financing available for as re- lates to the City and also the developer. Mr. Jordan stated it is imperative to have an absolute policy in the C-C zone but feel the C-l zone should be an either/or situation due to the building being erratic. Mr. Bartel pointed out if the City is ever going to have a central transportation facility, they cannot do one thing in one district and not in the other, building will be primarily in the C-l zone. Chairman Molny pointed out to limit mandatory leasing to the C-C zone would not provide sufficient funds. Discussed AR zones. It was pointed out the AR zones should provide parking on the site due to the types of businesses in these zones i. c. lodges, restaurants, etc. -2- RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 100 Leaves FORM ~I C. F. ~ OECKEL B. 8. !. L. CD. Regular Meeting, Aspen P & Z, 8/3/71 Mr. Bartel reported there are three alternatives to pro- viding parking under the streets; Wagner Park or parking areas scattered around the core area. Only other alternative_ is a parking district. Only problem with a district is the valuation in the C-l and C-C zones is not htat high. Collins questioned whether the funds generated would compliment a transit system. It was pointed out the proposal of today is not the answer to the total problem. Mr. Goodhard pointed out in the interim the congestion will increase because the spaces are not being provided. It was pointed out the option is open to those presently providing to lease and they would be allowed to build on their park- ing if they lease the spaces. Mr. Collins suggest the parking areas eliminated be left as open space. Mr. Vidal pointed out the $20.00 a month per space will be looked at by the bonding agent and that is the basis he will use to back up and sell the bonds. This will provide an economic base in order to make the bonds saleable. Consensus of the Commission was to limit mandatory leasing to the C-l and C-C zones with no option to other districts; recommend $4,800 per space over 20 year period; monies not be ear-marked specifically for parking alone but con- sider other considerations in the transportation realm; conditioned upon whether this would be a imposition on the financing of the developer. Breasted moved to table action on thE public hearing until the next meeting. Seconded by Vidal. All in favor, motion carried. Zoning - Fothergill/Zoning Fothergill/Cutting Annexation - It was pointed out Cutting Annex the Planning and Zoning Commission at their public hearing recommended R-15 zoning as existed in the County. Master Plan was not considered at the time of the recommendation, which indicates medium residential zoning. Mrs. Cutting was present and stated she has about 45,000 square feet of land. She was told at the time of annexation she could have RMF zoning classification. Was told this would be automatic by City Manager Wurl. The Smuggler Trailer Court and McCullough's land are zoned RMF, so am requesting the same. Chairman Molny pointed out it has been the policy of the Commission that areas in the outlying zones are zoned upon annexation in a classification as close to the County classification as possible. Mr. Bartel pointed out Garrish Park is a divider between the R-6 zoning and RMF. Mrs. Cutting pointed out Fothergills desired annexation and -3- FORIolIO C.F.HOrcKElB.B.ItL.CO.
