Goodhard, James Breasted, Herb Bartel, and Mr. J6bn Hayes was present to discuss with the Commission his request before the Board of Zoning Adjustment relating to utilization of a Presidential Railroad car as a rest- aurant on a temporary basis. (See proposal made before the City Council on September 27, 1971.) Planning and Zoning Commission stated they had nothing negative if in fact the Board of Adjustment approval was for a temporary use permit as a restaurant. Smuggler Annexation #1 - Commission reviewed the plat sub- mitted by City/County Planner, Herb Bartel, and Assistant Planner, Fred Wooden. Mr. Bartel stafed Smuggler No.1 was needed for 1/6th contiguity so that they then could annex Smuggler No. 2 which includes the hospital and Top of Aspen. Smuggler No.1 includes the trailer court, some land owned by McCullough and Luke Anthony property. Vidal questioned the urgency of the annexation and Mr. Bartel commented that there was an urgency because the water tap fee for Top of Aspen would be greatly reduced by being in the City limits. Vidal questioned why the City does not have the policy of annexing all the land in an area in- stead of doing it p~cemeal. Bartel answered that this particular annexation was being done in this manner in order to annex the Top of Aspen as soon as possible. Also other owners would perhaps come in later when they have development plans for their property. Vidal asked if the Planning and Zoning Commission should be concerned with zoning of the annexation at this time. Mr. Bartel stated not specifically but should be a consideration. Bartel stated he felt the McCullough property needs improvement and aidevelopment plan before receiving high density res- idential zoning as proposed in the Master Plan. Also feel the Smuggler Trailer Court should eventually be zoned for mobile home use but that we have no mobile home park zoning in the City at this time. Goodhard moved to recommend to the City Council annexation of this area. Seconded by Jordan. All in favor, motion carried. Aspen Oak, Oakridge, White Forest Subdivisions - These subdivisions are within the two mile radius of the City and require a review by the City Planning and Zoning Commission for recommendations to the County Planning and Zoning. Bartel outlined three basic problems: (1) Is served by a private road; (2) water; (3) potential natural hazards. Also pointed out that subdivisions are within the metro sanitation district and City water service area. Bartel answered there would not be much detrimental affect be- cause of low density,in answer to Vidal's question of what affect there would be on transportation and city facilities. .

RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 100 Leaves Regula r Meeting Transportation Report Neighborhood Shopping Centers Aspen Planning & Zoning October 19, 1971 Bartel indicated that he felt the subdivision should not go in on individual wells because of the problems that have already occurred in that area. He indicated that contract was being made with the City about supplying water to the area. Planning and Zoning indicated they were satisfied with the comments and conditions as outlined by Mr. Bartel and request Mr. Bartel refer these comments etc. to the County Planning and Zoning. Transportation Report - Bartel indicated he had had a meeting with the State Highway Engineer and that Mr. Cross will request permission for crosswalk testing on Main Street i. e. more unique patterns, diagonal checkerboard etc. Also indicated that an overhead sign would most likely be necessary near Garmisch and Main to indicate right turn only for one lan~and pedestrian and school crossing. Adams commented that signs seemed unnecessary there. Jordan asked if any provisions were being made for median strips on Main Street this winter. Bartel stated paint only at the Garmisch intersection and sited no available City funds as the reason for no further improvement plans. Neighborhood Shopping Centers - Bartel explained that the City Council wants areas delineated where major growth areas within the City and sites with a map indicating three major centers. (1) Growth area at base of Smuggler Mountain - Neighbor- hood shopping center located in Railroad C-2 area. (2) Growth area east end of town between Original and Roaring Fork River - Neighborhood shopping center location, 1/2 block at Spring and Hyman (3) Growth area west end of town including Cemetery Lane - Neighborhood shopping Center location 7th and Bleeker. Breasted disagreed with site on railroad property and in- dicated it should be north of the Roaring Fork River within the growth area indicated.Bartel answered that we are trying to establish desirable uses for the C-2 area and felt that the extra time would not be an overriding difficulty. Vidal stated one should~in the the Cemetery Lane area. He thought the Cemetery Lane location would be politically difficult because of the established residential nature of the area. Breasted thought there should be an additional site east of town to serve Mountain Valley, etc. Bartel stated that the intense development necessary to serve a neighborhood shopping center in that area is not altogether desirable. Jordan suggested down zoning the C-2 area because of its excessive permissiveness and potential threat to the vitality of the downtown area. Commission felt this to be an important matter and ask that it appear on the next agenda for consideration. Adams proposed a min~maxi Neighborhood shopping center concept so that areas that did not justify the 12,000 square feet neighborhood shopping center could have a small convenience store location. -2- -- RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 100 Leaves FORM ~i C.
