Regular Meeting Aspen Planning and Zoning September 21, 1971 Meeting called to order at 5:15 P. M. Members present were Robin Molny, Anthos Jordan, Jim Breasted, Vic Goodhard and Chuck Collins. Also present Regional Planner Herb Bartel. Minutes of September 7 were approved as mailed. A/F District A/F District - Bartel handed out copies of a fist draft of a new zoned district, A/F, Agricultural/Forestry. Chairman Molny opened the public hearing on the A/F Dis- trict. There being no comments, the public hearing was closed. Mr. Bartel said that given the annexation policy of the City, there was a need for an A/F District, nothing sim- ilar to County AF-2 now being available in the City zoning regulation. He said that the County A/F 2 District had served as a model and had been adapted to City needs, specifically a PUD option had been added. Chairman Molny reminded the members that the regulation under consideration was a first draft. He explained that the Council's purpose is to annex land to the airport following the river, It has been Planning and Zoning Commission policy, he added, to apply zoning closest to existing zoning to annexed land. Collins moved to accept the draft A/F District as submitted, subject to further consideration by the Board. Collins moved to accept the draft A/F District as sub- mitted, seconded by Breasted. All in favor, motion passed. Circulation Plan Circulation Plan - Chairman Molny opened the public hearing on an amendment to the Aspen Circulation Plan. There were no comments, public hearing was closed. Bartel showed the Commission members a final map, determined on the basis of two previous study sessions, and showing amendments to the circulation plan contained in the Master Plan. Bartel explained that it was important to get a recommendation for an amendment in order to give the trans- portation consultant a guide for his work, and secondly, to show that corridors have been determined as a first step toward adopting a street map ordinance and reserving needed rights of way. Breasted felt input was needed from other sources before the Commission made a decision. Collins and Goodhard wondered if this should be done prior to the results of the transportation study. Bartel said it was a matter of timing; it might take 4 to 6 months to receive the results of the transportation study, and the City needed to gegin work on a street map ordinance and to reserve rights of way and update the 1966 Circulation Plan to include known deficiencies to give the Consultant a better starting point on the Transportation Study. ~_____.._.,.,~,_.....,._.o,.~ ..,.

Bartel said that although it would be a private road, des- ignating it on the circulation plan was a method of giving notice that 7th Street might be the direct link to the Meadows. The Commission discussed the Meadows Road. Goodhard suggested deleting the Meadows Road or 7th Street extension. Goodhard left the room. Collins moved to adopt . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Jordan seconded, all in favor. Goodhard returned. During the discussion it was agreed that a more specific motion should be considered and that Mr. Bartel would out- line the additions to the circulation plan to be included in the motion. No vote was taken. Alternate One Way Street System - Bartel passed out copies of a letter from Bob Leigh describing an alternate one way street system and displayed an accompanying map. He said that the consultant believes the alternate plan is a better plan, and has asked the City for an evaluation of its im- pact as they see it. He explained that the transportation committee had seen the plan, but their meeting was poorly attended because of weather, and they had not reached a decision on a recommendation; the Council had canceled a meeting at which the plan would have been considered and had thererore not formally reviewed the plan. The Council, he said, wanted the Planning Commission to be informed of the alternate. Chairman Molny said that as the Commission looks at the alternate, the members should remember that: 1) The alternate is what the consultant thought he had to come up with; 2) the one way street system is not all that is going to be done in terms of final recommendations resulting from the transportation study, and that the alternate provides for an arrangement of a more permanent nature. Bartel point- ed out that the alternate will change the character of Hopkins considerably. Molny said we must expect to accept an imperfect one way street plan until we implement a circulation plan. Breasted moved to recommend the original proposal as an interim one way street system for nhe coming winter, because although the 2nd plan is excellent (except that it moves circulation from potential railroad development too close to town), however it is impossible to implement by the -2- , RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 100 Leaves FOIIM'I C.F.HOECKELB.B.!tL.CO. Regular Meeting, Aspen P & Z, 9/21/71 coming winter season. Collins seconded, all in favor, Motion carried. Zoline Annexation Zoline Annexation - Mr. Bartel said that the Zoline annex- ation petition had been submitted, but that zoning on the north 100 acres had never been resolved. Bartel said that he and Mr. Wurl and Attorney Kern had reviewed the proposal, and that the Council had raised 5 points to Zoline (see City Council minutes). Bartel explained that Zoline did not want A/F zoning on the north 100 acres as had been suggested to him previously but that he wanted R-30 with a PUD con- tractural obligation. Molny commented that the north portion of the property is not absolutely necessary to the Council/s purpose of getting to the airport. The suggested zoning, he said, means that Zoline can always get a R-30 density, and that over a period of time, with new Council and Commission members, there might be a misunderstanding of the intent of this Commission. He added that the Master Plan recommends R-30 in this area, but not until it is demonstrated that a higher zoning is needed. He said that he felt the two parcels of land should be broken up. Bartel said that the question that the Commission must de- termine if it is time, in terms of the 1966 General Plan, to rezone. Goodhard suggested the south be taken in and the north portion left out. The Commission discussed bringing the land in as two sep- arate parcels; approval subject to passage of PUD; ex- cluding 5 single family dwellings as requested by the petitioner; changing "will" to "shall" on Page 3, sectionA, line 3. Collins said that even if it meant further delay, the Com~ mission should take a long, careful look at the proposal in order to remove some ambiguities; too much is at stake and the scope is too great to hurry it through. The open space land should be gifted to the City, he said, the petitioner is receiving greatly increased density and the City s~ould received more in return than an option to buy the land something which there is no reason to believe the City will have to money to do in years to come. Goodhard agreed, and said that the City should wait and try to get as much benefit for itself as possible. Collins said he also had fears about the appropriateness of the PUD plan. Bartel said that the PUD plan should not be a consideration at this time because the final plan must still be approved by the Commission and the Council. Collins agreed and said the Commission wants a different concept, it can only opers presentation. can't know if it react to the devel- -3- ~. , RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 100 Leaves FORM!! C.F.HOECKELB.B.&L.CO. Regular Meeting, Aspen P. & Z., 9/21/71 There was further discussion of the points raised by Mr. Collins. Breasted moved to accept the Zoline petition for annexation with the following exceptions: 1) change the wording on page 3, Section A, line 3 from ''will to "shall", 2) the open space shall be reserved for dedication to the City at no cost to the City, 3) five lots in the north portion be excepted from pun, and 4) the annexation is conditional on the adoption of the PUD regulation. Seconded by Goodhard. Postponing a decision for further consideration and meeting again with a few days was discussed. Breasted withdrew his motion. Goodhard withdrew his second. Jordan said that there was a necessity to include all open space, including that in the north portion. Collins moved to adjourn the meeting until Thursday, September 23rd at 4:00 P. M., Jordan seconded. All in favor, motion carried. Meeting adjourned at 7:30 P. M. ~~
