Hal Clark, Pitkin County Building Inspector, commented on Area 25, a mixed use area. Jeeping, biking, snowmobiles already an existing use. Also mining and grazing. Not a good candidate for wilderness area. Jim Breasted recommend- ed special consideration be given to the high mountain area (above timberline), that motorized vehicles be re- stricted to existing roads. The general concensus of the Commission being that Area 25 should be a multi recreat- ional use area. Hal Clark commented on Area 26 - Reported that George Stranahan was the probable new owner of the Lenad~ Sawmill and would cease operation of the saw mill, and would be most cooperative in wilderness classification. Also, that the area might be used for ski touring with cabins estab- lished for the tours. Williams Mountain area was real potential for Wilderness Area. Comments from the Commission were additional division of sites, no opening of new roads, the lower regions be multiple recreational area, the upper regions designated Wilderness Area. Felt that 9 months of the year the area was not used. Felt that management was of prime importance. Area 23 - Extensive skiing existing in the area. The Commission would like to request that the local Forest Service be asked to meet with them for details of area to be designated. Area 22 - Multiple use area. Felt this area would be more important to Basalt than to Aspen, due to the Haystack Mountain Area. Vidal commented on whether ski areas were to be dispersed or is established areas were to be let grow. Robin Molny, Chairman, asked that Herb Bartel assist the Commission with letters with their comments to be sent to John Burns and Walt Winkler, local Forest Service Rangers. -"'"" RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 1 00 Leaves FORM 10 C.F.HOECKELB.8./It L. CO. Regular Meeting, Aspen P & Z, 1/15/72 Brownell Sub Brownell Subdivision - Mr. and Mrs. Brownell were present with the preliminary plat of the area to be subdivided. Discussion on King Street not being a dedicated road, that adjacent roads had a 60' right of way. Chuck Gilkey, City Engineer, reported that a 60' right of way was mandatory for streets. King Street has established easement for utilities. Wondered if the square foot requirements wmld be a hard- ship, if the right of way to City could be included in the square footage. Suggested that the lots be sub-divid- ed now in the event of selling lots in the future. Discussed whether the City would want the 4% subdivision cash fee or the 4% open space. Felt in this case the 4% fee would be applicable. Asked that the preliminary plat be submitted to the Commission with the conditions dis- cussed. Sneaky Lane Sub Sneaky Lane Subdivision - Fred Wooden, Assistant City/ County Planner, presented the preliminary plat to the Commission with suggested conditions: the extension of existing water line when available; 22' dedication of utility easement with the option of hooking up to City water; access to and along Castle Creek for hiking trails. Discussed either requesting the 4% cash fee or the poss- ibility of the subdividers being able to acquire an ease- ment along Castle Creek from the surrounding property owners. Sneaky Lane is a private road and would be main- tained by adjacent owners. Jim Breasted moved to approve the final subdivision plat based on the following conditions being met: that the 4% payment of cash be required if not feasible to extend a foot path along the east bank of Castle Creek, that water hookup not be required but do require a utility and pedes- trian easement; that said private road will be maintained by adjacent property owners; that present or subsuquent owners be required to hook on to the Metro Sanitation Dis- trict.
