Francis Whitaker made a motion to approve the minutes of the October 10th regular meeting. Seconded by Sam Lum. All in favor, motion carried. Coates & Wallen - Chateau DuMont and Chateau Chaumont Mr. Nick Coates and Attorney VerShure were present. A supplemental plan was submitted to the Commission showing a change in the parking. Providing 1 for 1 parking with 21 spaces underground and 2 above ground for loading and unloading. To provide the 1 for 1 parking, one apartment was deleted and some storage space Would have a resident manager who would handle the attendant parking. Attorney Ver Shure requested the Commission approve the submitted supplement plan along with the plans submitted earlier, except that they be modified by the supplemental plans. Marvin Reynolds reported he had not seen the supplemental plans. Attorney Ver Shure reported the earlier plans were presented to the Commission as a lodge and on the theory that it was not a lodge, they were turned down by the Commission. Coates and Wallen did apply to the Board of Adjustments. This meeting was postponed. Felt a compromise would be better for all concerned rather than a law suit. Compromise by providing 1 for 1 parking, which is required under the proposed ordinance before Council, and Planning and Zoning Commission accept the plans as a lodge so that the density requirements would be met. Feel the buildings will operate as lodges due to maid service, attendant parking attendant for pool and a resident manager. Mr. Coates reported the owners of these condominiums very seldom use them themselves. They are not sold in this manner, nor used in that manner. The contract on the land was contingent upon the issuance of a building permit. When the building permits were issued, money exchanged hands. Transaction has not been recorded. It was noted by George Heneghan that if this were called a lodge they would comply with the parking and density requirements. N? ~ _.~._,........;-,...,,-,.

Regular Meeting, Planning and Zoning, October 24, 1967, continued. Attorney Ver Shure stated the reason for the compromise is because the Commission calls these buildings multi-family dwellings. Under a multi- family dwelling with 1 for 1 parking, would comply with the parking but not the density requirements. Attorney Scott stated to the Commission that under the State Statutes the Planning and Zoning Commission has broad powers to do what they think is best. The following telegram was read by Chairman Benton: "Tom Benton, Design Primarily, Aspen Colorado "Against reconsidering Chateau Chaumont Dumont plans stop No question they are multiple family dwellings therefore well over lenient densities provided in zoning ordinances that project will be in violation of fire zone one provisions that Wallen and Company "gift" of one for one parking is no real concession that Chateau Aspen still is in violation of parking ordinance that their "desire to be in the spirit of title eleven" is not matched by actions that Commission approval would not be proper that such projects will lead Aspen down the primrose path to overcrowding and oblivion" Don Copelin" Attorney Ver Shure requested immediate action on this request. George Heneghan made a motion that the plans be approved. Motion died for lack of second. Francis Whitaker made a motion that the Commission re-affirm their pre- vious decision and interpret it as a multi-family dwelling and return the plans to the Building Inspector with that comment on the plans.
