Meeting was called to order by Vice Chairman James Adams at 4:15 p.m. with
Charles Collins, Victor Goodhard and Irwin Harland.
Minutes
Zoline Property
.
Collins moved to approve the minutes of March 23 and 30th
as prepared and mailed by the Secretary. Seconded by Good-
hard. All in favor, motion carried.
Zoline Property - Mr. Zoline was present and outlined his
property that would be involved as being on Highway 82,
north of the Maroon Creek Bridge, about 1500' to the north
and west and extending in an easterly direction to the old
County Road, including 80 acres, known as the Bar Slash X
Ranch which encompasses 187 acres. The Zmline home is lo-
cated on the north side of the County Road. The area is
served by the Metro Sanitation District, City water and
natural gas are available. The area has been ranched up to
the last two years by Mr. Zoline, the last two years have
leased the property for grazing and hay to Clyde Vagneur.
As the possibilities of ranching have become more and more
difficult began to think about some use of the property
that might preserve some of the open green space and still
return some of its present economic value. Decided the best
way to accomplish this was to try and obtain permission for
the construction of multi-family dwellings on a small
portion of the property and leave the balance in open space.
For the open space considered a private golf course for the
people in the multi-family dwellings and also considered
an extension of the existing golf course. At the present
time have been advised by attorneys that there would be
serious tax implications if such an arrangement were made
for part annexation or zoning of the property. What has been
said should be construed as a statement of intent.
Mr. Zoline further went on to say he would bery much like
to see the property annexed to the City of Aspen under
conditions of a residential type zoning that would permit
cluster plan of multi-family dwellings. If this were the
decision of the City, development would be on a relatively
small portion of the 80 acres, about 15 to 20 acres and
the rest would be open.
Would also endeavor to try and locate these buildings on
the north boundary of the property and extending it to a
short way to the east so that the aspect of this property
would be open as you approach the City from the west.
Mr. Zoline further stated this type of zoning would be in
accord with the Master Plan. Master Plan calls for this
area as an eventual urban residential area.
Mr. Bartel pointed out the Master Plan under urban res-
idential makes a suggestion that the density decrease with
the distance from the City.
Mr. Zoline stated he did not have plans for the additional
100 acres at this time or for a good many years if ever.
Feel it would be desirable to include the total acerage in
the annexation.

Regular Meeting, Aspen P & Z, 4/13/71
Mr. Bartel pointed out upon annexation, the City and Mr.
Zoline would have to agree upon zoning for the entire area
(187, acres.)
Mr. Zoline stated he would not be disturbed if the 100
acres were held in in some type of suspense zone. Would be
satisfied with a broad type of zoning that would leave the
100 acres as it is presently.
Mr. Zoline stated the open space in the 80 acres he would
be willing and is prepared to have the City use the property
for a term of 20 years without consideration to Mr. Zoline,
but would like to work this out with the City from a tax
standpoint. At the end of that 20 year period someone could
approach Mr. Zoline's heirs etc. and then if the City wanted
to purchase the land they could or it would revert under
zoning to open space. Would say 20 years with assurance.
If the City would then develop that open space into a golf
course, they would need to know that the investment they
will make could be amortizied.
Mr. Harland questioned if the private owners, and if
arrangements were not made with the City, would have an
undivided interest in the open space.
Mr. Zoline stated it would not have to be set up that way.
Mr. Zoline further stated the density he has in mind would
be 4 units to an acre, about 320 units clustered on the
15 to 20 acres.
Mr. Bartel pointed out present county zoning allows a
duplex on every 2 acres. Further stated it would be diff-
icult to change the city regulations to have an RMF Planned
Unit Development. Mr. Bartel further stated the Commission
cannot commit themselves to zoning prior to annexation and
suggest Mr. Zoline proceed with the petition for annexation
including his conditions for zoning at the time of annex-
ation.
Vice Chairman Adams pointed out three items which concern
the Commission: (1) Feel the density is too high; (2) Feel
the open space should belong to the development; (3) Would
like to know about future plans of the 100 acerage.
Mr. Zoline reported as relates to the density, there now
exists higher density surrounding the property than what is
being proposed - pomegramate; Park Meadows Lodge, Tennis
Club is zoned AR-l and other properties zoned AR-l; Holiday
Inn. In reviewing the area surrounding the property it would
be unrealistic to ask for less than is being proposed. As
relates to Item #2 do not feel this is a function of zoning
as to whether the open space remains in the ownership of
the people who live there or the City. As to item #3 have
no plans for its development, do not intend to sell it or
devlop it. Will keep it as it is presently and as long as
possible in its present state.
