Seconded by George Heneghan. All in favor, motion carried. Chairman Benton opened the Public Hearing on creation of a C-lA District by reading the Notice of Public Hearing as published in the Aspen Times. Also read by Chairman Benton proposed amendment to the zoning ordinance creating the District, and outlined the area on the zoning map. Chairman Benton opened the meeting up to the public and request to hear from only those persons who lived in the City. Elizabeth Callahan - Do not live in the City but within 300' and opposed to the change in zoning. Mayor Barnard - Should not be a part of the record since they are not in the City, 300 feet has nothing to do with it. You are one who has been fighting the annexation and your opinion should not be a part of the record. Clinton Sampson - In favor of it. Do not like service stations being subject to the Board of Adjustment. Chairman Benton - Service Stations are always subject to the Board of Adjustment. Have to consider the hazards, public safety, hazards to pedestrians, storage of fuel, would be a mistake to take it away from the Board of Adjustment. There could be a hardship in the location of the station. Mayor Barnard - There is a limit on the grounds of whether to grant or deny it. Clinton Sampson - Have 5 lots involved in Block 98. Talked to Bob Smith next door who has 2 lots and he is in favor. Chairman Benton - It is important the amount of property a station can occupy. Is not specified in the ordinance, because of some of the present stations. Jerry Brown, Planner, feels having enough room is very important. Don Swales - Is there any other place in the City now where a station can be built. Chairman Benton - Only in the C-2 District. We had considerable property in the C-2 when the North Annexation went through. Now that it is going for election, we only have a small parcel of C-2 land. Hans Gramiger - Represent W. O. Jones on 2 lots in the area, that is affected. They are in favor.

With the court house and church there is traffic hazard there now. Zoni~g should try to alleviate the congestion not add to it. Chairman Benton - This District is based on the highway going down to Original and up Original. Jerry Brown has been making traffic counts for the last 2 weeks so that more information will be available to us as to traffic problems in this area. There being no further comments, Chairman Benton closed the public hearing on the C-lA District and opened the public hearing on notification to property owners on an appeal to the Board of Adjustment. Stated as the ordinance exists no notice is required to anyone. Feel that notice should be given to be fair to those persons involved. Would like to amend the ordinance so that all property ownes within 300' of the request for appeal would have to be notified by legal notice. Francis Whitaker - Board of Adjustment agrees with this but have no power to act, although the Board of Adjustment has amended their by-laws to take careof this. Hans Gramiger - Good idea. Elizabeth Callahan - I am within 100' of this, but outside of the City limits, am I allowed to be notified. Chairman Benton - Yes Chairman Benton closed the public hearing due to no further comments. Sidwalks - Mr. John Benninghoff stated he had some petitions to present from people in the R-6 District and they are against any sidewalks. If sidewalks areput in they would like them put in against the curb. Problem with sidewalks of keeping them up especially for the non-residents. Do not think sidewalks are needed in the R-6 District. Chairman Benton informed Mr. Benninghoff sidewalks are not a problem to be taken care of by the Planning and Zoning but the City Council. Can only recommend to the City Council if asked to by the City Council. Mayor Barnard stated he would be definately opposed to a sidewalk next to the curb due to having to cut down many trees. Administrator Wurl commented figured on the basis of sidewalks against the curb that 43 trees would have to be cut down. If the sidewalks were put in 15' from the curb would require taking down only 5 trees. Chairman Benton suggest a sidewalk that went in and out in order to miss the trees. Francis Whitaker made a motion that the Planning and Zoning ask the City Council if the Council would like the Planning and Zoning to make a recommendation and study the alternates to the present ordinance or the one suggested by Mr. Benninghoff. Seconded by Donald Copelin. All in favor, motion carried. N? 46 - RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 100 Leaves fORM 10 C.F.llOECKELB.B.IlL.CO. Reg. Meeting, P & Z, Sept. 13, 1967, continued.
