Charles Collins, James Breasted, Victor Goodhard and Anthos Joran.
Also present City/County Planner Herb Bartel and Assistant Planner

Collins moved to approve the minutes of November 2nd as amended, pre-
pared and mailed. Seconded by Goodhard. All in favor, motion carried.
Stream Margin Request - Chairman Molny reported Mr. Fitzgerald is on
vacation, he has revised his plans. Tabled until Fitzgerald returns.
James Adams arrived.
Annexation Policy - Chairman Molny reported theCity Council has held a
meeting on annexation policy and will be holding another study session
with the planning and Zoning Commission in the near future. Copies
of the material distributed to Council was submitted to the Commission
members.
County Subdivision Regulations - Mr. Bartel explained the new reg-
ulations update those prepared in 1950, cover entire County even the
area which is unzoned. County will be holding a public hearing on
December 20th and would like the City P & Z comments prior to the
hearing.
Mr. Fred Wooden reviewed the regulations briefly by review of the table
of contents.
Chairman Molny suggest wording in the regulations to require that the
developer issue a statement on need and timing of the development.
It was pointed out once the regulations are adopted, all subdivisions
which are not recorded, but are in process, would fall under the
new regulations. For special circumstances there is an exception
clause.
Post Office Location & Service - Discussed one central location versus
branch offices in the neighborhood shopping areas. Disadvantages
pointed out for one central location in the downtown were: congestion,
price of land in the downtown, traffic. Advantages pointed out were:
vitalization of the downtown, density exists, location and facility
amenable to other activities other than postal service.
It was pointed out the post office is talking about a one block build-
ing for total service which will tend to have less of an atmosphere
than the present post office where people meet, petitions are signed etc.
Mr. Bartel stated the temporary metal building now in use expires in
January of 1972. Further reported there are 4 semi trucks coming into
Aspen a day, about 30 employees and about 5,000 post office boxes which
include Snowmass and Gerbazdale. An important consideration by the P & Z
should be that once a location is determined, that will be an impact
on. the ~ommun~ty for 20 years. We may want to request mail delivery,
wh~ch m~ght be done by private enterprise.
