Plans have been made by the !1.s,)8n Alps to construct another sixteen u,~ts on land on the other side of Ute Avenue. They ",ill provide off-street parking for 20 cars, and ~ish ]e~ssion to pave a 25' ,Jidth of Ute Avenue and landscape it for use as a circulation street Hith no parking. They also plan to make a bridle path parallel to ute Avenue. The total length of the street is approximately 60 feet. :Jr. Lai felt this might take aHay too much parking area. He also felt that ",hile this was a gooa idea, it should be made conditional and not set a precedent for fear that the parking facilities on other streets might b8 usurped in this maTh~er. i~. Kerrigan stated the street shoul8 be made ~nde enough to allow :for future parking. 111' .:,'hi taker moved that the Planning COTnmission reco~~end this type of use of the street ,Jith the conditional clause that it Hould revert back to parking on the sides of the street, should the need ever arise. }~.

F. HOECKEL B. B. Ii L. CO. Page 2 I,"ay 12, 1964 T:r. Stanton brought up the problem of City and County boundary lines going through property, arbitrarily, and not by blocks. He cited the problem of the property at 6th and Hopkins as an example. One-half of this block is zoned in the City as Tourist, and the other half lies in the County and is zoned Residential. This works a hardship upon the O"Jner as he is governed by b,ro sets of rules. l:r. Kerrigan said this annexation had been brought up before City Council, but that they were not interested in changing just one-half block. He did not know what the County thought about the matter. I,:r. \ialls stated that the Planning Conmlission had recommended to the City Council that they annex the property. Ix. \~alls called a recess for five minutes and discussion on the above matter continued. T)1e meeting was again called to order by lJ1'. ,} aIls, who introduced the petition of Block 70, Aspen To"~site, in regard to two dormatories, as the necessary procedure had been followed by the City Attorney, and they are now petitioning again for annexation. It Has stated that the old City Council had looked favorable upon this annexation, but that formal annexation had never taken place. ;,:r. ';.fhi taker suggested that the Planning Commission go out and look over this property first before taking any action as there might be some difficulty Hith a density problem here. I'Jr. '...falls also suggested action be delayed in order to check on the 26' height of the property. He advised the members to look at the property and then return to this petition for annexation at the Hay 26th meeting. Hr. Hhi taker said that he had attended a regional planning commission the previous evening, but there had been no quorum. This meeting Has in re- gard to zoning for the Frying Pan. There had been some talk about the possibility of a Federal grant that Hould cover 2/3 of the cost of this zoning. Eagle County Has most agreable and Hould like to check further into the matter. This would include 3agle and Aspen Counties and the Cities of Aspen and Basalt. 1.Jr. Horse asked if this plan could include Narble in Gunnison County. Hr.
