TOM DALY Tom Daly request permission to state his views to the Commission on vertical zoning. Commission informed Mr. Daly a public hearing was scheduled on March 1st and request he hold his comments until that time. BUILDING REVIEW - Hodges & Oliver Alternate site plan was submitted by the Building Inspector. Commission reviewed plans. George Heneghan arrived. It was stated that the alternate site plan was to be considered for review. Questioned was raised if these were complete plans. Mr. Reynolds stated no and also reported a permit could not be issued on this set of plans. Mayor Barnard stated it is the intent of the Master Plan as well as the City Ordinances implementing the plan to provide for a zone for commercial district. It appears that the intent of the Plan will not becarried out by the uncontrolled construction of condominimum units in the C-l District as relates to providing zoned commercial areas, for future commercial construction. The change in the zoning requirements in the commercial district is being studied, reviewed and carefully considered by the Aspen Planning and Zoning Commission and other City officials relating directly to the problem of assuring adequate future commercial space, therefore, I feel that the project under consideration is not a proper use of this prime C-l District property and I don't think for that reason it should be approved. I think that we are just allowing here a project that really bears no relationship to the needs of the community to come in here and gobble up one of about two really big pieces or plots of land left in the town. I think this is a temendous mistake for us to allow this to happen and for that reason I move that these plans not be approved. Seconded by Joel Hartmeister. Francis Whitaker questioned if the Commission had sufficient grounds on this point in which to withhold approval. N(} 1 " RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 100 Leaves fORM \G C. f. HOEC~EL a. B. 1:1- L. CO. Reg.
