Regular Meeting Aspen Planning & Zoning June 24, 1969 Meeting was called to order at 5:15 p.m. by the Chairman with the following members present: Chairman George Heneghan Mayor Robert Barnard Robin Molny Francis Whitaker Norm Clasen Excused: Dale Mars Councilman John Benninghoff (see late arrival) Minutes - Norm Clasen moved to approve the minutes of the last meeting as prepared and mailed by the Secretary. Seconded by Barnard. All in favor, motion carried. Row House or Townhouse - Mr. John Doremus was present and stated he did not have any plans on this but would like to discuss with the Commission the minimum of 25' in the code for townhouses or row houses. Stated he felt that this type of housing could serve a purpose in low cost housing but there is apparently a problem since there have not been any built since the ordinance was enacted. The 25' minimum would call for 4 bedrooms and rules out the 2 bedroom and moderate priced housing. FHA does have financing for this type of housing. Councilman John Benninghoff arrived. Mr. Doremus explained that a row house or townhouse has contiguous side walls, its a row of buildings 2 or 3 stories in height, small front yards and either large or small back yards, no side yards. When buying the house you buy the land underneath the house. Mr. Doremus stated he did not know the total implications of ownership and financing as relates to condominiums vs townhouse or row house. Commission request Mr. Doremus look further into this and if in researching finds sufficient difference, to come back to the Commission. Capital Improvements - Mr. Whitaker submitted a list which had been prepared by Mr. Whitaker and City Administrator Wurl showing groups of categories. Stated these are the items which should be incorporated in the Master Plan as a modification to the Master Plan. (See list attached) Councilman Benninghoff stated some of these items are under the RSA so would need approval of the County also.

Legal Opinions - Whitaker moved that when the Commission requests a legal opinion the Chairman be authorized ;to meet or negoiate with the City Attorney or that the City Attorney be authorized to attend the meeting when a legal opinion is needed.

Also state d it is seldom that an attorney can give an instant opinion without researching first. Whitaker withdrew his motion.

Highway 82 location - Chairman Heneghan stated he felt a study session should be held on this plus transportation in general which would take into consideration parking, malls, transit system etc. Also stated he liad received many telephone calls on Planning and Zoning's recommendatiol as relates to the location of Highway 82. Mayor Barnard stated the City Council acted on the strength of P & Z's decision as relates to Highway 82. Further stated if the P & Z reconsiders this and sends another recommendation to the State Highway Department this is going to confuse the highway separtment. Roger Mahnke, City Engineer, stated the Master Plan guide- lines for Highway 82 is in on Main Street. Street Improve- ment districts were laid out along these lines. Feel that in the future we may need a by pass route. A by pass will cost a substantial amount of money to obtain the need- ed right of way.
