Tom Wells excused. Density and Open Space Density and Open Space - Chairman Molny stated Jerry Brown questions the tampering with rooming house, boarding house and dormitory in the C-C and C-l. It was pointed out there is no definition of a boarding house in the code. Mr. Whitake- suggest not changing the density but to base the proposal on open space and the amount of floor area yuu can use. Feel the simpler and more flexible the ordinance, the better the results. Require 20% open space on the street and this will make a consider- able difference.

Such a system would indicate a direction along whi h a work load could be established thrs concentrating our energies in these areas of maximum importance to the City. The items listed below constitute, what we feel to be the most important priorities. We wou\id like to recommend that this list be passed down to the Planning and Zoning Commission for immediate action and study. 1. State Highway route in City of Aspen, and approach to Aspen. 2. Traffic study. 3. Transportation study. 4. Parking 5. Land Acquistion. 6. Open Space 7. Malls and Public Ways. 8. Density 9. Scale Control in CC and Cl districts. 10.

RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 100 Leaves FORM 10 C.F.KOECKELD.Il.Il:L.CO. Adj. Meeting, P & Z.,2/18/70 Project Priorities Commission at present has a backlog of work. We feel that the Commission should evaluate this bacl;log and proceed to accomplish those items of most importance. In line with the above items, I would like to take the liberty of suggesting a few Project Priorities whic h should be considered by the Council. 1. Selection and Hiring a full time Planner. 2. Underground Electrical System Policy. 3. Annexation Policy. 4. Advance review of Capital Improvements Budget. 5. Methods of Funding projects that will come from Planning and Zoning Commission. 6. Water 7. Land acquistion. I am sure that the above list of priorities for the Council are not complete, therefore it might be a good idea if the Council establish a complete list of important priorities that can be used as ,a guide for future action. I am sure that one of the most important items that must be undertaken now is the Planner." Breasted moved Councilman Walls report of Project Priorities be made a part of the record.
