Interwest In April of 1974 Bob Stevens and Ias developers of the Durant Mall
entered into and relied upon an agreement with the City of Aspen
dated April 16th, 1974 which enumerated certain uses acceptable to
P&Z for the development of this project. We did additionally rely
upon Ordinance #19 uses named "central area" uses in the d'evelopment
of the building.
The development partnership, Block 106 Associates, a Colorado Partnership
then entered into a master lease with Countryside Associates, an Ohio
Partnership,which referred to and allowed all uses under the attached
exhibit A. It was oUr understanding that we (both ourselves and P&Z)
agreed to the intent and validity of this approach~
We will request and require in all our subleases that tenants comply
with the business licensing process of the City of Aspen as well as any
other regulations applicable at the time such applications are made.
Also, we hereby certify that Production Service West did operate as a
talent agency in this building until recently and the successor to the
space, Aspen Taleot, falls under our master lease provision.
We additionally certify that Design Workshop, Inc. has been a tenant
under that master lease since .1977.

which is generally sat~sfactory to the engineering department.
The review has been lengthy and tedious since the property de-
velopment impacts heav~ly upon current and proposed traffic .
circulation, storm dra~nage, existing utilities, the trail system
and adjoining properti~s. The uncertainty of the exact develop-
ment on Lot 2 and Truerrjan's negotiations with the postal service
have contributed to thEj difficulties. The engineering depart-
ment is recommending approval of the final plat as submitted and
approval of the subdiv~sion agreement with one change in the re-
imbursement provision ~or Puppy Smith Street. This change is
discussed below. The following is a brief summary of the major
elements in the Plata9d agreem'ent.
,
Right-of-Way and Stree~ Improvements
Trueman will be dedica~ing a 60 foot ROW for Puppy Smith Street
and in return the city lis vacating the road right-of-way presently
traversing Lots 1 and~. The improvements in Puppy Smith Street
will be a 28 foot wide 'paved street with curb and gutter in-
cluding a third lane fdr right turns onto Mill St. The bikepath
will be relocated (at dounty expense) to the northerly side of
the street. The engin~ering department has agreed to a compromise
with Trueman and the p~anning department whereby the bikepath
will serve in lieu of $idewalks and Trueman agrees to construct
sidewalk in the future iif the city deems it necessary. Conven-
tional street lighting iwill be provided. Out Parcel A, contiguous
to Puppy Smith Street, iwill also be dedicated as ROW,
On Mill St, Trueman is idedicating the necessary land to accom-
modate the future alingnment and an 80 foot ROW. This will 'pro-
vide for the initial i~provement of Mill St, to a two l~nefac-
ili ty with turn lanes and a landscaped median and an ul tittra,te
four lane facilty, Th~re is presently no exact timetable for
the construction of th~ new two lane facility; conseque~tly,
the agreement provides Ithat Trueman will share in these costs on
a normal 50% basis for ihis abutting frontage, This could be by
either improvement disJjrict or direct reimbursement to the city,
Sidewalks and a bus stop will be included in the new improvements;
however, if you feel that a temporary sidewalk is needed along
the west side of Mill St" this can be added. The feasibility
of temporary sidewalk is essentially a function of timing on the
new improvements. '

Utility Plan
The area is presently a maze of utilities from year of random
development. The genetal approach to the situation has been to
abandon existing facilities where they interfer with development
on Lots 1 and 2 and to Ireplace these systems with new ones \"hich
will meet current design standards and will conform to the city's
capital improvement p+Qgrams. The new service systems have
been coordinated with the respective utilities with the exception
of Holy Cross, Holy C*oss does not want to abandon its claim
to the area, Our position in regard to electric service has
been that Lots 1 and 2iare within the city's service area, This
position is supported ~y past service area boundaries and present
negotiations with HolYtCross by the city manager's office.
Trail and Special Ease~ents
, .
The trail and bikepathlsystem shown on Sheets 1 and 3 has been
coordinated and reviewed with the planning dept. It will pro-
vide connection from t~e TNCP to the Rio Grande trail, the el-
ementary school and the Aspen Savings and Loan development.
A special fire ac:cess ~asement has been provided on the south
side of the TNCP at the request of the fire department, There
will also be a joint dfainage, utili-ty and access easement
through Lot 3. Thsi w:j.ll carry runoff from the TNCP to the
city's existing storm runoff sedimen-tation pond,
Landscaping and Grading
Proposed landscaping i$ shown on both Sheet 5 of th~ plat and
supplemental Sheet 15,1 Site grading is shown on supplemental
Sheet 9, The landscaPtngadjacent to Mill St, will be postponed
until the Mill St, imp+ovements are completed because of the
very high probability ?f damage to the trees and shrubs, The
area will be seeded inlnative grasses in the interim. The land-
scraped area adjacent to Puppy Smith St. and the existing grove
of Cottonwoods will bel used for natural storm water detention
areas. Extensive revegetation will occur along the southwest
side of the building where construction will cause considerable
disruption to the steet bank and existing shrubbery.
After the Mill St, improvements are completed the new street
grade will be about fo~r feet above present grade at the south
end of Lot l~ This wi~l place the street about one foot above
the south eave elevation of the building, The northeast corner
of the parking lot will be about three feet above street grade
at the intersection anq1 this grade difference gradually diminishes
to zero at the southea~t corner of the. parking lot,
Subdivision
Agreement
The agreement provides 1 a monetary guarantee that all anticipated
utility, street, drainlige and landscape work will be completed
as shown on the plat ard in the engineering reports. provision
for future improvementj3 to Mill St. is also made, The city
will be vacating existing road and water easements subject to sat-
isfactory completion oiE replacements. The dedication payment has
been established. by Mi~k at $9oiOOO, This payment will be in
the form of a promissory note payable at the time a certific:ate
of occupancy is issuedl for Lot 1 and no later than June 1, 1978,

Subdivision
Agreement cont.
Present1~~ the agreemeht provides that the city will reimburse
Trueman for 50% of the! full cost fo Puppy Smith Street at
such time as any otheriownership with frontage is allowed a curb
cut, There is no disa~reement as to the principal of reimburse-
ment, only with the method of determining the amount. The only
property outside the T*CP Subdivision and abutting the ROW is
the Mill St. Venture p~rce1. This parcel has approximately 343
feet of frontage on Puppy Smith Street which is 544 in length.
We feel that the norma~ formula for street improvement access-
ments should be used based on front footage. Using the current
cost estimate of $22,164 for Puppy Smith Street the cost of
a curb cut would be $li,082 as now written or $6,988 as we feel
is appropriate. '
The engineering depart$ent's recommendation for approval is based
upon an integrated stre$t and utility plan, Several key elements
in this overall plan ate legitimately concerns of the city rather
than Trueman; however, I without these accompanying capital im-
provements the propose~ TNCP creates many problems and its de-
sirability at this tim$ is very questionable. Mill Street and
water system improvemeJilts are-the primary concerns. These and
other capital improvem~nts costs to the city are discussed in a
separate memo and mustibe considered as part of our recommendation.

MEMO
TO:
MEMBERS OF THEiCITY COUNCIL
FROM:
,
DAVE ELLIS !
CITY ENGINEER~~
i
DATE:
JANUARY 5, 1977
RE: CAPITAL IMPROv:$:MENTS REQUIRED OF CITY FOR TRUEMAN
NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL PROJECT (TNCP)
!
As indicated in a separate memo of the same date, the TNCP is
feasible at this time ~nly if the City is willing to make cer-
tian commitments for capital improvements in regard to Mill
Street, storm drainagef and water and electric utilities. None
of the proposed improv':'ments are presently budgeted for 1977.
Some are reasonably hiSh in priority while others are very low.
They are legitimately ?oncerns of the city, but the immediate
necessity is precipitated by the proposed TNCP. The projects
and costs are detailedlbelow.
I
I
I
Mill Street and Draina~e
. . I
The proposed Mill St, tmprovements would include regrading, filling
and widening from Mainlto Puppy Smith St, as a first phase.
Although construction in 1977 is not feasible a firm commitment
must be made for proce~ing with the proposed improvements within
the next two to three years. Before actual construction can
begin right-of-way must be cleared and alternate means of ac-
cess provided for capprs and the Aspen Auto complex. The 48 inch
storm drain must be extended before or concurrently with the
reconstruction. Assuming all work done at one time a conceptual
estimate is $202,000 if done in 1977. This cost is exclusive
of any right-of-way oriaccess settlements. On a short term basis
some provision must beimade for cleaning or relaying the plugged
storm drain' line whichipresently overflows through the Trueman
property. .
wa ter Utility
The present capital im~rovement program calls for constructing
a 12 inch transmissionimain from Hallam and Monarch to Red Moun-
tain Road, A portion ~f this route passes through Lot 1, TNCP.
Once the TNCP is devel~ped construction will be greatly comp-
licated. Therefore welare recommending that the city pay for
oversizing Trueman's 8!inch line and also construct a new 12
inch line in Mill Street along the frontage of Lot 1, The
present distribution line to Lakevie1N' is substandard (3l1l, but
it is a very low priority f0r the city. Consequently we are
recommending that the 9ity participate only 50% in 350 feet of
new 8 inch line. The estimated cost for these improvements
is $19,334.
Electric Utility
Electric service can be provided on a radial (dead-end) system
to both Lots 1 and 2; Jitowever, the city's electric consultant
recommends that for reliability and flexibility the system be a
loop feed. This would I involve about 1470 feet of underground
primary. Since the pr~sent street lighting in the area is
substandard, it is proposed that the city share 50% in the lighting
for Puppy Smith Street! The estimated cost for these improve-
ments is $20,635. !

The most essential of ~he above improvements is the water system
and this must be done ~o assure proper fire protection and
transmission capabiG.ity. Once Puppy Smith Street is paved
the cost for the eG.ectric improvements increases substantiaG.G.y
and without this G.oop there would be no street G.ighting. The
street improvements wiRG. become cruciaG. upon completion of this
and severaG. other proj~cts aG.ong MiG.G. Street. The engineering

Ph.D.
Preperty-Retail Grecery St.ore
Dear Mr. Standley,
Over the last eighteen menths we have ~ried many alternatives /
in cur precess to reselve the square footage and development
preblems that surr.ound .our attempts to .open and .operate a retail
grocery store en the Truman preperty.
Six weeks age the City Ceuncil gave preliminary appreval
te plans calling for develepment .of a 20,000 sq. ft. retail
sales area. New, accerding t.o my understanding, the ceuncil has
now appreved a 15,000 sq. rt. retail selling area with a 2,000 sq.
ft backroom storage facility.
'In my discussiens with Jim Truman, I have agreed to pursue
the grocery development en this basis and I fully intend at this
time, te .offer a unique and superior grecery shepping .oppertunity
te yeur censtituents, the peeple of Aspen.
I feel that the c.onsessiens made by Jim Truman and myself
are ultimately in the best interests .of the City .of Aspen with one
exceptien. This being the stipulati.on te resert te basement
backroem and sterage area.
Basement storage space is quite cemmen place threugheut the
grecery industry and is used mest .often as sterage space fer
merchandise purchased en allowance. (Deal Merchandise) This
can .offer the retailer the .oppertunity te reflect lewer prices
te his custemers. Thus, stcrage space, in mest instances helps
te create a competitive advantage fer the retailer that has
access te it.
In my experience, I have never, seen basement st.orage used
te perferm all the duties .of a "standard backreem" because it
is imp.ossible. for it te de se. Basement sterage is great as
an extentienof backre.om space, but is not efficiently used as
a replacement fer backreom space. ---
The basic reasen fer my immediate rejectien.of tetal basement
backreem is that it creates wasted space. I am very much against
any planning that creates waste and huge inefficiencies.
The "rule. .of thumb" in the engineering .of a grecery st.ore is
that 20% of the "usable" ground level space must be taken up
with loading and receiving decks, freezers and ce.olers which
.open up .onto the store perimeter. Space must be allecated te
meat, Deli, Bakery, and pr.oducepreparati.on areas. It is true that
seme .of the preparation areas and all .of the "Dry Gr.ocery"
sterage space c.ould very easily bemeved te a basement area, but
there is ne way te meve leading decks and ceelers which .open inte
the retail sales area.
Ultimately, space which ceuld be used fer dualpurpese if
en the mainfleor is separated inte twe areas andatetal less
.of seme 2,000 to. 3,000sq. ft. .of sales area has develeped.-
This would result in .only l3,OOO-13,500sq.ft. .of retail
sales area. rather than 15.,000. At this p~~amenitie.s that
yeur censtHuents want: i.e. Deli, BakerY'~~o.9and perhaps ether
/
l
,Ji
i''\
\
sections wou~d have to b: e~iminat~d from the over-all pla~ ar...dJ __ )t
I do not bel~eve that th~s ~s the ~ntent of the C~ty Counc~l. ~.
If i,t is the intention of the. City Council to allow develop-
ment of .~ 15,000 sq. ft. retail sales area grocery store, I will
be most ~ager to offer my total and undividedint.erest in the
project. If the grocery store is to be still smaller then I must
reconsider my position because it is not my intention to own and
operate a mere"conven.ience store". Many other businessmen
(such as "Tom's Market") would be much better at that than I.
It is also my understanding that the major stumbling block
to resolving this problem is the anticipation on Council's behalf
that if the backroom was located on the main level, the grocery
store operator would ultimately turn this space into retail sales
ar.ea.
All I can offer at this point j s that I ,<;ould be quite
willing to enter: into any kind of. legal agreement tha.t restrict.ed
usage of this backroom area. ferhaps it could be written into
'Cue leas'e or'attached to the obtair.i.ingof Groce!.~y o-per~tir.i.g
permits, or written into zoning laws.
Stacy, I feel we have all come a long way to resolving the
difficuliies surrounding this development. I want to see a
new grocery store in Aspen in. 1976 and I believe that the people
and the City of Aspen feel the same way.
This problem is "no hill for a climber".

Dear Joe:
Submitted herewith are three copies of our Pre-Design Report
concerning the Trueman Neighborhood Subdivision. The primary
purpose of the report has been to ascertain the existing utility
situation and recommend modifications as necessary to satisfy
both the Developer and City of Aspen subdivision requirements.
Cost estimates have been rendered to give perspective.
If you feel revisions are necessary, please call. If you
feel this is sufficient, either you may submit this input to the
City Engineer or we will be happy to submit it on your behalf as
the lead effort of the project.

SECTION I
PROJECT INTRODUCTION AND DESCRIPTION
Report Purpose:. This writing is a supporting pre-design utilities
report related to the proposed Trueman Neighborhood Subdivision as
presented by Design Workshop, Inc, of Aspen. The purpose is to
resolve and present the utilities situation as it affects the sub-
division for review by the City of Aspen in conformance with planning
and zoning procedure.
Scope: The report addresses all utilities which include water,
sewer, drainage, telephone, T.V., electrical power and natural gas.
In each case, the existing condition is established and shown on the
existing utilities map, Drawing No.2. Using this as a basis, the
proposed subdivision detail is superimposed to determine and evaluate
necessary modification and new construction. These modifications
are indicated on the various drawings submitted. Each utility is
preliminarily designed and cost estimated in order to ball-park
costs and recommend cost responsibility. Utility service agreements
are included if available at the time of this report's submission.
If not available, the agreements shall be submitted as received,
As deemed necessary certain agreements are recommended to be included
in the subdivision agreement between City and Developer.
SECTION II
REVIEW, DESCRIPTION AND EVALUATION OF EXISTING UTILITIES
.
Water Distribution System: Several water lines and an abandoned
city well are in physical existance on the property as shown on
2
'""
~.
,
Drawing 2. The existing facilities have been previously located
by Tri-Co Management incident with study of another subdivision in
the same area. Further verification has been obtained in discussion
with City Water Department personnel. The well is presently contained
in a small well house of concrete block construction located near
the south property line in Lot 1. The well is attended with an 8-inch
discharge line leading in an Easterly direction, crossing Mill Street
mrlproceeding through the city parking lot. There is also a 1 1/4-
inch gas line leading to a live connection at the 3-inch gas main
in Mill Street, The well has been abandoned by the City for approx-
imately 10 years and there is no immediate plan to reactivate the well.
The city distribution system within the subdivision property
shown on Drawing 2 consists of a live 8-inch line entering the
property from the Southwest from Hallam Street and crossing the
property to Mill Street where it joins the 6-inch Mill Street main,
At the approximate mid-point, the 8-inch line is tapped with a
non-standard 3 l/2-inch line which is the sole service for the
Lakeview subdivision.
There are likely to be other older lines in the ground throughout
the property as a result of earlier use by the Rio Grande Railroad
Company. It is doubted that such lines would have any current
service significance, but their potential removal may pose a
necessary consideration during actual construction.
It is noted that a water right of way is described following the
old railroad right of ~ay and it is suggested that it be vacated by
the city in the subdivision agreement or in whatever manner as
deemed proper by legal counsel.
~
3
,-,
'-',
In evaluating these existing facilities, an interview with
the City Engineer indicates no immediate plan to utilize the
. existing well; however, the integrity of the well and discharge
line is to be retained for possible future irrigation uses.
There is no desire by the City to retain the concrete block well
house.
The current 8-inch distribution line extends from a primary
transmission/distribution line that travels Hallam Street. This
8-inch line with modification in the subdivision would be
adequate to serve the needs of the Trueman property; however, the
City elects to utilize this construction opportunity to further
improve its system.
The 3 1/2-inch line providing service to Lakeview subdivision
lS located adversely with regard to Lot 2 and would not be
sufficient for commercial service to Lot 2. From the City's
standpoint, the line is inadequate for Lakeview fire protection.
Its abandonment and replacement would be equally beneficial for
both City and Developer.
Sewer Collection System: There are two main outfall sewers
traversing the subdivision leading to the main flow divider box
Southwest of the Aspen sewage plant as shown on Drawing No.2.
For purposes of this discussion, they shall be called the First
Street outfall (through Lot 2) and the Mill Street outfall
(through Lot 1). The ~anhole inverts have been established by
,.
4
,,-,
"-',
Tri-Co Management and are specified on the drawing. There is an
unused 10-foot sewer easement following the old Rio Grande
trackage that should be vacated. The Aspen Metropolitan Sanita-
tion District's diversion structure and the Roaring Fork outfall
sewer is located in Lot 4 of the subdivision. Evaluating the
existing sewer lines with regard to serving Lots I and 2, the
maximum available invert elevations are: 7854.53' MSL-Lot I and
7845.50' MSL-Lot 2. Line capacities are sufficient to accommodate
the currently planned commercial uses.
Drainage System: There is only one drainage manhole existing
on the property as shown. The structure receives the Mill Street
storm runoff via a 24-inch pipe line and redirects the flow via
a 10-inch line to the Roaring Fork River. The future drainage
plan will probably result in abandoning this structure, but its
integrity must currently be preserved until such an event occurs.
The subdivision land as it exists consists of approximately
8 acres of mostly unimproved ground. The topography slopes gently
in a Northwesterly direction toward the Roaring Fork River. The
Southern boundary topography is a steep slope draining to the
North into the subdivision. Existing surface drainage entering
the property seeps rapidly into the ground thus minimizing effec-
tive storm effluent from the property. There are no erosion
scars or other readily apparent water ways that would indicate
severe surface drainag~ problems. The existing Aspen Urban
5
-.
-.
Drainage Plan does not indicate utilization of this developmental
area as a major drainage way. Therefore, it is the Developer's
. responsibility to provide drainage facilities for runoff from a
minor area to the South of the proprety and conveyance of storm
runoff developed on the property.
Telephone/T.V. Facilities: The eXisting above ground service
lines are as shown on Drawing No.2. There are no existing under-
ground facilities on the property. It appears that there is
sufficient service in the area to serve the proposed subdivision;
however, current policy would require new and modified facilities
to be placed underground. It is left to the telephone company
to determine the actual service capability in this development
area. Normally cable television service is being installed in
conjunction with installed telephone facilities.
Electric Power: Aspen Electric provides the primary power
to the subdivision area from the Southwest via overhead service
lines. Pole and line locations are as shown on Drawing No.2.
It has been verbally agreed that Aspen Electric will serve the
subdivision with roughly 600 KVA for the proposed building on
Lot 1, including street lighting. Holy Cross also has service,
poles and lines on the property that will be influenced by the
subdivision. It is current City policy to require underground
service within the City.
,
6
1"""--.
1"""--.
Natural Gas: There are two natural gas lines located on
the property. The line at the North traverses Lot 4 to serve
two houses in the Lakeview subdivision. The other gas line
served the now abandoned well house near the South boundary of
Lot 1, There would be no objection to abandoning this tap.
Service to the subdivision would be provided by the 3-inch high
pressure gas main located on the East side of Mill Street. Two
taps to the Mill Street line have been approved for 2.5 MPTU and
1,75 MBTU respectively and are valid for use until May 20, 1977.
SECTION III
PROPOSED UTILITY MODIFICATIONS AND RESPONSIBILITIES
Water System: The proposed water system modifications are
shown on Drawing No.4. Both City and Developer have joint
interest, though different responsibilities in this area, that
may be most economically accomplished by one joint venture. The
following presents an itemization of proposed work and cost
responsibility:
a. Construct a l2-inch D.I.P. water line from the
intersection of Hallam and Monarch Streets per
an alignment as selected by the City to the sub-
division Lot 1 property line. This cost would
be a City responsibility.
b. Continue construction ofthe12-inch line adjacent
to the Southern boundary of Lot 1 per the
alignment shown to intersect with the Mill Street
main. The DeveloPer would pay for this line
segment as an 8-inch line and the City would
assume the 4-inch oversize cost.
c, Relocate the existing 8-inch well discharge
line as necessary to eliminate interference
with the proposed building foundation. This
would be a Developer cost.
"
7
"'.-.....,
~\
d, Eliminate the well house and mechanically cap the
existing well, water tight, flush with final grade.
This would be a Developer cost.
e, The Developer would tap the new 12-inch line with a
4-inch D.I.P./C,I.P. service line to the mechanical
room of ~he proposed building and provide a bypass
and meter per City standard detail.
f. Replacement of the existing 6-inch distribution main
on Mill Street with a new 12-inch D.I.P. line would
be as desired and paid for by the City.
g. Install 8-inch branch lines along Puppy Smith Street
to the Lakeview subdivision and along the West side
of the Lot I parking lot to serve Lot 2 and provide
fire protection for both lots. The City would share
the cost of the 8-inch extension on Puppy Smith Street
from the parking lot entrance to the Lakeview sub-
division boundary on a SO/50 basis. This extension
would allow abandonment of the existing 3 1/3-inch
line currently serving Lakeview.
Sewer System: The 12-inch Mill Street outfal.l line is to
be relocated as shown on Drawing No.4. Once modified, the line
will provide 'service to the proposed Lot I building using a 6-
inch cast iron service line. The minimum service invert shall be
determined by the outfall invert indicated in the prevjous
section of this report and a minimum grade of .69%.
The IS-inch First Street outfall line does not require
modification for the purposes of this subdivision and will provide
adequate service to Lot 2. The available service inverts for
Lot 2 have been previously mentioned.
Drainage System: The subdivision area is divided into four
lots. These lots may.be described as follows:
8
""'"
""'"
Lot 1 - 2,74 acres. This lot is scheduled for development
with a building for commercial use, commercial parking and
green areas.
Lot 2 - 2.39 acres. This lot is scheduled for development
as a possible site for the proposed new post office complex.
Lot 3 - 1.24 acres. This lot is not scheduled for
development.
Lot 4 - 0.49 acres. This lot is not scheduled for
development.
Row - 1.26 acres of planned roadway.
The size and character of major drainage works, as well as
other urban storm drainage facilities, are determined by the
magnitude ~f design runoff, that is, how much water should they
carry before being overtopped. The permanent piping and
appurtenances have been sized based on the anticipated 100-year
flows. Detention facilities have been designed to hold the
5-year flows for sedimentation and peak flow rate reduction
purposes. The rational method of flow volume computation has
been used in this analysis, with intensities taken from the
Urban Runoff Management Plan developed for the City of Aspen by
Wright-McLaughlin Engineers in 1973. Calculations are shown in
the section following.
In addition to the subdivision, the areas directly South
and Southwest have been considered in sizing the storm conduit
proposed at the Southwest corner of the Lot 1 building. The
area immediately South of Lot 1 has been considered as developed
commercially with 85% of it construction hardened to an assumed
rational coefficient of .93. If developed as anticipated,
however, only 60% of the runoff is to be collected and trans-
ferred by the Trueman storm conduit. Also an area of approximately
9
1""'--.
I""'--
3.5 acres Southwest of the building and on top of the hill was
considered possibly tributory to the short conduit adjacent to
the building.
To provide adequately for on and off site drainage, the
following construction is proposed:
a. Construction of a storm conduit (1% grade) and
landscaped ditchway leading to a natural detention
area with Cottonwood growth is proposed to handle
drainage from areas South and adjacent to the
subdivision as described above.
b. Drainage collected at the Northern entrance to the
proposed building would be conveyed to the same
Cottonwood detention area via a small diameter
pipeline.
c. Overflow from the Cottonwood detention area would
follow natural drainage ways to the lower contours
of Lot 2 then be naturally conveyed to an Z4-inch
culvert crossing under Puppy Smith Street near
Lakeview subdivision,
d. Parking lot flows would be conveyed via grading to
the Northwest across the parking lot to a land-
scaped detention pond between the parking lot and
Puppy Smith Street. Overflow would be directed across
the parking lot entrance roadway and guided via
curbing channel to the culvert underneath Puppy
Smith Street.
e. Puppy ~ithStreet drainage would be conveyed via
curb channel and directed at its beginning back to
existing Mill Street drainage systems and also in
a Westerly direction to the culvert near Lakeview
subdivision,
f. Flow from the Lakeview culvert would be conveyed
from Puppy Smith .'ireet via a grassed swale along the
Westerly lot 4 boundary to a point of discharge in
the Aspen dentention facility.
g. Modify drainage structure adjacent to Mill Street.
10
.""""
,-,
h. Flat roof drainage would be dropped to either
footer drains emptying into a drywell protected
by appropriate sand traps or directly to a
drywell with adequate protection. The same
type of solution is suggested for the truck
ramp drain adjacent to Mill Street,
Other Utilities:
Mountain Bell Telephone: There are several existing over-
head cables that are proposed to be relocated and installed
underground. Lot 1 is to be developed immediately; Lot 2 will not
be bUilt immediately though plans for the new post office complex
have been discussed; and Lot 3 and 4 are not scheduled for
development. The anticipated telephone service requirement is
40 pairs for the Trueman building scheduled for construction on
Lot 1 as shown on Drawing NO.4. A mechanical room is to be
provided as shown on Drawing No. 18. From this it appears that
telephone service can be best obtained at the Southeast corner
of Lot 1, parallel Mill Street for a short distance, then enter
the building at the Southeast corner of the building and proceed
to the mechanical room within the bUilding. In the future Lot 2
can be best served from the Mill Street cable via Puppy Smith Street
and it would probably be wise to also consider service to Lakeview
subdivision along the same alignment underground. Currently this
subdivision is served via overhead cable accompanied by a T.V.
cable that definitely will have to be relocated for proposed
development on Lot 1. ,Contact with Canyon Cable T.V. indicates
that "however goes the telephone service; so goes the T. V.: I t is
assumed that this is not a problem with Mountain Bell.
'''"
11
,-...
,-"
The proposed telephone/T.V. modifications are described as
follows:
a. Reinstall the existing Mill Street cable
underground from the Southeast to Northeast
corner of the Trueman property.
b, Provide an underground service branch cable from
Mill Street to the Lakeview subdivision boundary
for service to Lot 2 and the subdivision.
c. Remove existing overhead facilities from Lot 2,
Lot 4 and Lot 1.
Electric Power: There are overhead facilities located on
the Trueman property belonging to both the Holy Cross Electric
Association and the Aspen Electric Company. Service to the
subdivision will be provided by Aspen Electric Company to include
appropriate street lighting and parking area lighting. The
proposed modifications include new underground cable installation,
removal of existing overhead cable and poles and relocation of
facilities as follows: -
a. Aspen Electric:
1. Provide approximately 600 KVA underground
service to the proposed building on Lot 1
from the Southeast corner. Transformer
location to be proposed by Aspen Electric.
2. Power for Lot 2 may most easily come from
a main overhead line behind the elementary
school. Since development of this lot will
be in the future, detail consideration of
this service cannot be given at this time.
Suffice it to say that service can be obtained
from Aspen Electric for Lot 2 in the future.
3. It is proposed that a segment of line and
one power pole be removed from the Southeast
part of this subdivision. It does not have
any apparent service requirement and it
would interfere with the proposed landscaping
for Lot 1.
12
~.
/'"\
b. Holy Cross Electric: It is proposed to remove existing
light poles and attendant cable from the Northeast and
East part of the property. There is no current
requirement to disturb the service lines from Lakeview
subdivision where it crosses Lot 2 to the Aspen
Sanitatron Plant.
Natural Gas: Service has been applied for and approved as
indicated previously in the character of two taps with a total
estimated gas availability of 4.25 million BTU. Service to Lot 1
is proposed as 1 1/4-inch tap from the Mill Street 3-inch main.
It is suggested that the existing 1 1/4-inch service tap to the
w~ll house be modified to enter the new proposed Trueman building.
To serve Lot 2, it is proposed that a new 1 1/4-inch line be
installed from .Mill Street, along Puppy Smith Street to the Northeast
corner of the lot. It is encouraged that this gas line be
installed during the construction of Puppy Smith Street,
SECTION IV
ENGINEERING DATA AND CALCULATIONS
WATER Assumptions:
Lots 1 and 2 are to be commercially developed.
Lots 3 and 4 are not to be developed.
No commercial activity using process water is anticipated.
Domestic needs are estimated as a peak demand of 50gpm/lot.
Buildings are expected to be required to have sprinkler
protected system at 750gpm and 30psi.
.
External hydrant requirements are estimated as 750gpm @
20psi minimum pressure available for two hours.
8 t feet per second is assumed acceptable.

DATE:
OCTOBER 14, 1976
RE:
PARK DEDICATION FEE FOR JIM TRUEMAN PROPERTY
A meeting was held this morning in my office with Jim Trueman and
Bob Grueter which Sandra Stuller attended to discuss the value of
the Trueman land. Values of land on projects such as this are
extremely hard to determine, and I think it can only be supported
as reasonable people look at the results.
We attempted to find the value by several different approaches __
looking at the history of sales, looking at comparative sales and
taking projections of income and assigning capitalized value to
them. We also looked at the project as a total land value and in
terms of each lot. I finally concluded and was able to convince
Trueman of the following method. We took the information from the
"Document Neighborhood Commercial Project" which is his planning
data map which I have incorporated with this memorandum, and decided
that Lot One, which would be used for the shopping center, would be
worth $7.50 per square foot approximately 119,000 square feet
equals $892,000 in Lot One.
119,000 @ $7.50 = $892,000
104,000 @ $6.00 = $624,000
Total $ 1.516 million
Lot Two which he is going to sell to the Post Office would be worth
$6.00 per square foot, Both these prices, of course, are unimproved
and relate to what we had hoped to get from the sale of our property
had we sold it to the Post Office (when sUbtracting our development
costs). I assigned no commercial value to the Lots Three and Four,
and I calculated then that after subtracting the land use he will
dedicate to the City that there would be approximately 300,000 square
feet of land left to Trueman, The value of the total land then is
from the values of Lot One and Two, and this is equal to $.1.5 million.
^
"""'"'
Memorandum to Bill Kane re: Trueman Property
Page 2
October 14, 1976
The land remaining to Trueman is 300,000 square feet, therefore,
the total land calculates out at $5.00 per square foot.
This fits with the history of the sale of this land, whereby
Trueman paid $2.80 per square foot, sold it to the City of Aspen
for approximately $3.00 per square foot, and now is worth $5.00
per square foot three or four years later.
We have agreed to allow Trueman to pay the Park Dedication Fee,
which is the purpose of this exercise, of approximately $90,000 at
the time of occupancy plus interest of 7% per year.
His intention is to proceed with the project as quickly as possible.
I optimistically feel we may have our supermarket by Easter.

Re: Trueman Property S.P.A.
Dear Don:
//
In light of the upcoming final plat review for Trueman before the
Aspen City Council, I would like to advise you of the need and time
requirements for a S.P,A. plan adoption. In all of our discussions
on the Trueman property we overlooked the separate procedural re-
quirements for S.P.A. plan adoption, . This procedure will require
a presentation before the Planning and Zoning Commission and City
Council in conformance with Article XI of the City Code and will be
processed as an amendment to the city zoning map,
In terms of time, the Planning and Zoning Commission review will
require one meeting to set a public hearing (we are tentatively setting
you up for Tuesday, OctoberS, 1976) to be followed by a public
hearing after fifteen (15) days public notice in the paper and
fifteen (15) days written notice to property owners within 300 feet
of the proposal. Following the Planning and Zoning meeting an ordinance
will have to be prepared for Council ~ith first reading, fifteen
(15) days notice and a second reading public hearing to follow,
Ten (10) days will then be required to have the ordinance take effect.

Re: Aspen Savings and Loan Associati n
Lots D,E,F,G,H,& I,
Block 78, Aspen, Colorado
Dear Hal:
In accordance with our conversation today, I am advising
you that the proposal submitted to Mr. Trueman in a letter
from the Savings and Loan Association dated June 15, 1976, re-
garding the 16 foot fire access easement has not been responded
to by Mr. Trueman.
You may recall that originally Larry Yaw, Mr. Trueman's
architect, had requested the aforementioned letter proposal
from the Savings and Loan Association in order to satisfy the
requirement by the fire marshall concerning the fire access
easement. I have called Mr. Grueter, Mr. Trueman's attorney,
on several occasions to find out the status of the proposal, how-
ever, he has informed me he has heard nothing from Mr. Trueman,
so at this time it appears that Mr. Trueman is not interested in
entering into an agreement with Aspen Savings and Loan.
Accordingly, I feel that the City of Aspen should be
aware that Mr. Trueman does not, at this time, have an agreement
for fire access across the Bennett property. By the way, the
Savings and Loan Association is closing the sale from Mr. Bennett
today.
Yours very truly,
~.~

MEMORANDUM
DATE: September 7, 1976
TO: Hick Mahoney
FROM:4{~ndra M. Stuller
RE: Trueman Subdivision Dedication Fee
Mick:
As I discussed with you earlier, I have several problems
with the methods and data used in determining the amount of
the subdivision dedication fee payable to the City by reason
of the proposed Trueman subdivision. They are as follows:
1. The formula as applied was that used for commercial
developments only. It is my understanding that some
residential units were proposed. In the case of mixed
residential and commercial development, Sec. 20-18(a) (4)
requires that the subdivider first calculate the fee
imposed because of the residential development, then
apply the 6% formula to the balance of the development
only, using as the undeveloped land area the total land
area less the minimum land area required for the proposed
dwelling units. Trueman should document the number and
type of residential units to be constructed before we
attempt to settle on a dedication fee.
2. Secondly, Trueman uses as the basis for determining
the market value of the property his early 1970's Rio
Grande purchase price. There is a more recent indicator
of market value and that is his 1973/19'74 sale price to
Schottland. It is my understanding that Dick paid between
$5 and $6 per square foot. I would suggest that if you
are using an appreciation factor, it should be applied
to this price. You will recall that when we discussed
using sale price to determine market value (in the pending
code changes), we determined that sale price should be
relied on only if less than two years old. Hore specifically,
the pending recommended code change reads:
~
~
I"""'>,
....1 ~
Memorandum to Micle ~1ahoney
September 7, 1976
Page 2
I
Market value may be substantiated by a documented
purchase price (if an arm's length transaction not
more than two years old) or by any other recognized
means; provided that assessed valuation shall not
be relied on as evidence of current market value.
Consequently, I think that the Rio Grande sale price should
not be used; but the Schottland sale price should be relied
on, if any, Absent agreement on using this figure, a new
appraisal should be ordered.
,
3. Finally, Trueman is excluding 8,000 square feet of
the tract from the subdivision because ownership is
disputed. It is worthy of note that by approving the plat
we are creating a separate parcel; in effect, a subdivision
of the disputed area into a separate lot; Obviously Trueman
would not be interested in paying a fee attributable to land
found not to be owned by him, However, I would suggest that
some procedure be established for collecting the amount due
with respect to this area in the event he acquires some
interest in the future. In the alternative, the amount may
b~ collected at the time of subdivision approval with a
right to a rebate if ownership is found in a third party.

Dear Jim:
.
I have discussed your letter of August 23, 1976, with the Planning
Department and have also sent a copy to our City Attorney. I
believe, based on the action we have taken in the past in accepting
purchase price as a basis to establish value and adding five percent
(5%) per year, that your letter proposal is basically correct. I
would like to have the percentage compounded rather than in a
. straight line. If this is agreeable with you, we will accept the
$2.43 per square foot as the cost and accept 349,225 square feet
as the net square footage. If you would then compound this at
five percent (5%) for three years, you would find an acceptable
"current value."
I have discussed the "panhandle property" with Bill Kane, and he
believes this would be a separate issue and not one of interest at

Dear Mick:
I

(
I enjoyed meeting with you last Wednesday and, per our
conversation, I will outline my understanding of the evaluation
approach you suggested.
We originally purchased 19.72 acres from The Denver and Rio
Grande Railroad. The purchase price for the entire tract was
$2,090,000, or $2.43 per square foot, At this time we have
been processing a subdivision amounting to 8.221 acres, or
358,063 square feet. We have currently decided to reduce the
acreage involved in the subdivision by 8 t 838 square feet. This
represents a fence-line encroachment on the western edge of the
property which we are at this time unable to correct the title of
and will seek other remedies later in regard to our own title.
This gives us a net square footage of 349,225 square feet.
Therefore, based on our cost, plus a 5 percent inflationary
I
factor per year as you suggested, the ground value is as follows: p'ftN1 ,
349,225 x $2,43 = $848,616,75 x 115 percent (three years at tL CoMl'ouf'\U
5 percent per year) = $975,909.26jcurrent value), Assuming a
6 percent subdivision feet our cost would be $58,554,55.

Assuming my calculations are correct, I will have Bob Grueter contact
you in regard to the actual payment documents, et cetera, assuming,
per our conversation, that the payment would be due upon approval
for occupancy permits.
In our conversation we discussed the possibility of some sort of
trade in regard to the "panhandle property", Subject to the city's
desire to acquire this property, I am totally willing to negotiate any
reasonable swap arrangement. With the timing of the subdivision

fee payment to be some time in the future, it doe s give us some
time to work out an arrangement on that piece of property if, for
instance, the subdivision fee were involved in the acquisition
negotiation,
For your information, we are attempting to get our final subdivision
documents filed on September), 1976, so that we can, hopefully,
get final approval on September 20. If this timing works, we still
anticipate starting construction this fall,
I would appreciate it very much if you would treat our cost information
confidentially, at least until such time as we have resolved the
subdivision fee matter. Looking forward to seeing you in a week
or so during my next trip to Aspen.

MEMORANDUM
~o: Aspen City Council, Mick Mahoney
FROM: Planning Staff (HC)
RE: Trueman Property Subdivision Clarification
DATE: June 9, 1976
The Planning Office has requested time on the June 14, 1976 Council
agenda to discuss progress on the Trueman property subdivision appli-
cation. Due to the length of the agenda no time is available for
this discussion. We request that Council set a study session to
review the project. We enclose for your consideration the Planning
Office memo of June 7~ 1976, and the City Council minutes of March 8,
1976.
The major item of concern is the interpretation of the additional
2,000 square feet of basement storage approved by Council at con-
ceptual subdivision phase on March 8, 1976. [s this storage for the
commercial spaces or .for the exclusive use of the grocery store?
The Preliminary Plan for the grocery store, as submitted by the appli-
cant, contains 15,500 square feet for the food store (500 extra for
checkout service?), and an additional 1,500 square feet for an enclosed
loading area. To facilitate our review of the project and the appli-
cants plans for Fall construction, we request a study session with
Council, and the Trueman representives. Certain Planning and Zoning
members have also requested to be in attendance at such session.

4. Employee Housing
5. Basement Storage
15,000 square feet
10,000 square feet

10,000 square feet
2,000 square feet
47,000 square feet total
~
The plan as submitted has eliminated the 2,000 square foot basement storage
and increased the first floor building size by 2,000 square feet for an
enclosed loading area. We have scheduled the applicant for City Council
agenda on June 14, 1976 to discuss this change and to report on progress
with the application. Also, we have included the minutes of the Council
action for your review.
The comments of the Planning Office on the Preliminary Plat are as
follows:
1. Title - the title to the property is not clear. A dispute
exists with Mrs. Paepcke, and Carol Craig. Clear title
must be obtained by Trueman before recordation of the Final
Plat.
2. Pedestrian Access -
A. Major trail is located in disputed area. Needs
be surveyed around existing cottonwood trees.
B. Trail access to Bennett site either by Mill Street
sidewalk or along west of grocery building.
MEMO.

-.
3. Housing - a schedule for building employee housing units
must be developed by applicant.and approved by P & Z
and Council. Otherwise no guarantees exist for construction
of the units. Present plan calls for 13 units on second
floor, but construction not part of first phase of project.
Parking spaces need be allocated on the Trueman site for
these residential units.
4. Parking-
A. We are in agreement with the number of 123 spaces
for the commercial complex provided housing
spaces are reserved.
B. Parking for Lot II, the Post'Office, is not shown.
We feel the Post Office will argue for an excessive
amount of parking space. Such space will supplement
that available for the commercial space.,
C. The design for the parking lot is massive and should
be "broken up" by additional landscaping buffers.
5. Lot II - Post Office site is left in undeveloped state
precipitating the following concerns:
A. Parking spaces?
B. Auto circulation through site?
An easement is needed from Lot II to serve
commercial access road or the lot lines between
Lot I and Lot II should be described by the access
road.
,
C. Lot II approval should be conditioned on meeting
the design standards of the City of Aspen Sub-
division Regulations (Section 20.16-17).
6. Fire Protection - per Dick Miller, Aspen Fire Chief:
A. Two fire hydrants will be required.
B. Emergency fire truck access is needed to the rear
of the commercial building either by easement through
Bennett's property or by shifting the building to
the north.
C.. The mall needs redesign to accomodate fire truck access.
7. Loading Area - for grocery needs to accomodate pull off zone
for taxi's, limousine.
B, Transportation-
A. A bus stop is located on Mill Street,Mn provides
access to the site.
B. Auto access is via one road cut on Mill Street.
C. No auto access is provided to serve the contiguous
Bennett properties forcing an additional road cut
to serve the Bennett site.

D. . .f1:>rse .S:i.t.e - the contiguous ownership to the north
would be serviced by the Trueman access road. Property
between the road right-of-way and property line should
be deeded to the City to control north side access
thus providing a mechanism for repayment (through the
City) of road costs to the developer (Trueman).
9. Mill Street Improvements _
A. The City must schedule and budget improvements to Main
Street to accomodate increased use generated by Trueman
development.
B. Improvements to Mill Street may necessitate a new access
point for Capp's Auto through the Rio Grande site. Or
the City may wish to purchase Capp's as an alternative
to providing Rio Grande access.
C. Since the improvements to Mill Street by the City will
be precipitated by the Trueman development, the developer
should pay a share of the improvement costs.
The. previous Schottland development was committed to
pay 50% of the costs of improvements on Mill Street
which fronted the development. Such improvements would
include, cutting, filling, grading, regrading, paving,
sidewalks, curbs and gutters. It would be appropriate
to pay such sums to the City upon commencement of such
improvements. We feel this is an appropriate requirement
for the Trueman development.
10. Public Use Dedication - we recommend a cash dedication of
6% of the market value of the land to the City.
o
I1. Engineering Comments - As of this writing, specific comments
of the City Engineer have not been received. Numerous
meetings have occurred among the planning staff, Trueman
representatives and the Engineering Department. Should
Preliminary Plat be granted by P & Z, such approval should be
conditioned on the design standards Section 20-16-17 of the
City of Aspen Subdivision Regulations.
In summary, the Planning Office recommends approval of the Preliminary
Plat based upon the above broadly described conditions and upon approval
by the City Council of the revised configuration of the grocery store
which now contains a 15,500 square foot food store and a 1,500 square foot
enclosed loading area. Essentially, the 2,000 square foot basement
storage has been transferred to the first floor for loading and checkout
services. We feel the City Council should be consulted as to this alteration
in their Conceptual Subdivision approval.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Aspen Planning Commission
FROM: Dick Miller - Aspen Fire Department
RE: Trueman Property
DATE: June 1, 1976
The following recommendations are made to you by the Aspen Volunteer
Fire Department.
1. Access needed for Fire Equipment on south side of planned building.
This should be no less than 16 feet wide. Also needed at this
side of the building is a means of access into the building.
2. On the north side. Access through the plaza in a straight. line
12 feet wide is necessary for equipment to approach the building
in this area. Surface that will support appartus is necessary also.
3. Hydrants with steamer connections should be located at the following
points. (Note all hydrants must be serviced by an 8" main.)
a. Located at southwest corner of building accessable from
either North Mill or the fire lane.
b. Located accessable to parking lot directly north of plaza,
this location to be no more than 175 feet from the building.

RE: Trueman Property - Preliminary Subdivision Plat
DATE: May 27, 1976
This is a public hearing to consider the Preliminary Subdivision
Plat for the Trueman property.
Enclosed in your packet are the following:
1. Preliminary Subdivision maps as revised t~ay 27.,1 1976.
2. April 27, 1976, documents from Larry Yaw of which Page three
No. C. is no longer applicable.
3. An engineering comment letter of May 13, 1976 from Tom Jones,
Assistant City Engineer. As of this writing no additional
engineering data has been submitted to the Engineering Department,
although numerous conferences have occurred between the
applicant and the City Engineer. In addition a meeting is
scheduled for Friday, May 28, 1976 to discuss engineering
concerns.
4. An analysis of off-street parking requirement by Don Gatens.
The comments of the Planning Office are as follows:
1. Due to the scope and extent of the matters outlined in the memo
of May 13, 1976 from the Engineering Department we recommend
tabling of a decision by the P& Z. Building plans have been
revised and resubmitted to us during the actual writing of this
memo which alter the configuration of the Grocery Store and
enlarge the space on the second floor. In addition, certain
areas reserved for public trails along the western boundary
of the site are occupied by large trees which necessitate moving
of the tra il .
2. It is our recommendation that the P & Z conduct an on-site
inspecti on before maki ~g al recbmmendati on on the! Prelimi nary
Plat. The Final Plat 1S referred only to the Engineering
Department and to the City Council for action.

TRUEMAN SUBDIVISION - PRELIMINARY
FROM:
DATE:
RE:
We have not had sufficient time to complete our review
of this preliminary plat. However, many of the items
required at this stage are either missing or incomplete.
One major problem that has not been addressed is utility
relocations, Several waterlines, a sewer line, and
some electrical lines will have to be relocated if the
building is to be built in the location shown, The
city's continuing need for a waterline across the South
end of the site could jeopardize the projected build-
ing location. Locations and sizes of proposed utilities
to serve the site are also required at this stage. The
proposed road along the northeast boundary of the site
should aline with Smuggler Street instead of the offset
alinement shown. Other items are missing or incomplete
are as follows: discrepancy between conceptual and
preliminary submittals of total site acreage; areas
with slope greater than '30% have not been shown; flood
plain areas have not been shown; some existing utilities
have not been shown; dimensions of existing streets and
alleys are insufficient; lot lines are impossible to
follow and should have at least approximate dimensions
at this stage; and there is inadequate information
relative to how drainage on the site will be handled.

Dear Joe:
As you requested, I have analyzed the parking requirements
for the Trueman Commercial Project. It is my opinion that
there is sufficient off-street parking available to meet
the projected parking demand.
Several factors were considered during the analysis. These
included:
o Land use program
o Nominal parking generation rates
o Nominal trip generation rates
o Proximal parking supply
o Transit accessibility
o Transportation characteristics of Aspen visitors
o Location relative to population . (productions)
These factors are discussed below. The detailed calcula-
tions are attached.
Land Use Program

10,000 SF
15,000 SF

Parking Demand
Analysis of typical parking and trip-making generation rates
combined with the transportation characteristics of Aspen
visitors suggests an expected parking demand, for the above-
noted land use program, of between 115 and 140 vehicles
(does not provide for employee housing parking on-site).
Parking Supply
The commercial site provides parking for approximately 110
vehicles. Additional parking is available within acceptable
walking distance at the Rio Grande property and post office
parking lot. These ancillary lots provide a reservoir for
exceptional parking demand during peak periods of the year.
Transit Access
The site is directly served by one bus
two blocks of three additional routes.
bus routes noted are free fare.
route, and is within
Three of the four
Transportation Characteristics of Aspen Visitors
Previous analyses of the transportation characteristics of
Aspen visitors have found that a significant number of
them arrive at Aspen without a private vehicle. Addition-
ally, it has been noted that many visitors with condominium
and lodge accommodations do not make use of a private
vehicle during their stay.
Ancillary Considerations
The con.tinued emphasis on public transit will increase the
use of non-private vehicular access to the site. This is
particularly true in the case of trips made for service
and retail purposes. Additionally, increased transit will
decrease the need for parking space utilization by persons
employed at the site. The use of intercept parking facil-
ities could provide for long-term employee parking in
locations other than on-site. If employees of the develop-
ment. park off-site (e.g. at the Rio Grande properties lot),
there will be more customer space available on-site. For
example, one space occupied by an employee could serve as
many as ten retail customers throughout the day.

I have estimated that the proposed post office (23,000 SF)
will require space for approximately 90 vehicles, thus
some of the anticipated 120 spaces could be available for
"overflow" parking during peak periods.
I hope that our analyses have answered your concerns~
If I can be of further help, please don't hesitate .to call
upon me.

TRUEMAN Could we have about two minute break?
STANDLEY Go ahead
TRUEMAN:
I'd like you to consider the following change: Going
from the top down, second floor 10,000 remains the same.
ground floor, 15,000 square foot retail area, grocery
retail area, 10,000 square foot other retail, basement,
10,000 square feet service retail, health center and
additional space for storage. I don't care what the
number is, say 2,000 square feet.
PEDERSEN:
In the basement?
TRUEMAN .
In the basement.
BEHRENDT:
That's a net of 7 more, is that correct?
STANDLEY
No, 2 more
WISHART:

Michael, would you withdraw your motion?
KANE:
I want to get it straight in my mind here.
STANDLEY:
That would have to be a plat modification so as not to
constitute contract zoning.
TRUEMAN:
We can mark-it here this evening.
KANE:
I think the intrigue here is we kind of agreed on a square
footage for plain retail, neighborhood/commercial retail
spaces, and then agreed on this "service" J:'etail, which

retailing. To take 5,000 feet out of the grocery
store and simply put it in straight retailing may not
accomplish the goal here in that it's the same thing.
It's just relocating the 5,000 square feet of non-
essential food retailing to another kind of retail fundt~on.
.
I think, at least for the planning department, that if
5,000 square feet were shifted into service retail, we'd
be in the same place. . The arguement against 20,000 square
feet is that you get somewhere, between 5 and 8,000 square
feet of superfluous retail, non-food related items ina
20,000 square foot store. Thus the recommendation for
a lower ,food store. What Mr. Trueman's responding with
here is a shift of that 5,000 square feet. He's agreed
to go down to 15,000 square feet and take that 5,000 I
foot reduction and put it ~nto straight retailing. Well
it just puts it on the other side of the door perhaps.

There is 5,000 more retail than Bill is recommending it e
STANDLEY:
5,000 service retail on the ground floor not the basemen

KANE:
Is that ri~ht, Bill?
Yea. 15,000 service retail and 5,000 retail, 15,000 gro ery
store and 10,000 square foot employee. There's a subtle
distinction here; there's two kinds of retailing
JOHNSTON:
I understand, but where do you get 15,000 service retail
KANE:
Well he wants to drop 5 from the grocery store and shift
it somewhere. His proposal .is to shift it into straight
retail, which would make the straight retail . . .

JOHNSTON:
I'm looking at health center. It's health center and
service.
YAW:
Shift it into commercial, which is sort of what the
whole things about. The specific uses would comply with
neighborhood/commercial and what the specific uses are
.
that actually are in there are undetermined. No one
knows, Jim Trueman doesn't. . But would comply with the
neighborhoo&/commerical standards.
KANE:
Does everyone understand the point?
Yes
TRUEMAN
This is what you asked me if I would do, and that's
what I said I'd do, and now you're questioning the uses.
We're talking about uses that are according to every
BEHRENDT
zoning that applies.
What about the 2,000 extra feet? They've asked for a
couple thousand . . .

Storage, underground storage

What if nobody rents those uses? I mean we're asking for
something that is spelled out in every??? we've had, not
a grocery s~~re now, but 5,000 feet of other uses as

It looks to me like a good balance, Jim. ~he property was

would be to create 15,000 square foot grocery, 5,000 retai ,

that's 20,000 square feet of straight N/C retailing
stuff. The property was also zoned SIC/I, service,
cOmmercial and industrial. Take that 5,000 square foot
decrement from the grocery store, shift it into more
retail, then you have a nice mix.
You have 20,000 squalle
feet of straight retailing and 15,000 square feet of
space intensive S/C/I kinds of retailing. I'm simply
\~atUB on the principles that were enunciated by the
TRUEMAN:
planning and zoning commission, the Council.
You're making the assumption that it should be exactly
50/50. And I don't know where the assumption comes from.
STACY:
Bill, if we're going to get clear back to a planning thin
it's not an appropriate discussion. I have a 'question,
though. I'm not sure I agree with your basic tenant
that the reason the 20,000 square foot market was
inapproriate was because you'll have x-thousand square
feet of non-food retail. My concern with the 20,0~0
foot market is not so much what's in it, but
the imPlicatjOn
therefore, i
that it becomes the largest market in Aspen;
.
must be the best market in Aspen; therefore, it creates
~-,' .
,
a magnet. Now 15,000 foot market doesn't do that, and I
. guess if the retailing, straight retailing, is restricted
enough,. given the uses you've identified down thera so as
it does not pull away from tourist retail, I don't really
have that problem. My problem is really the size of
the market becomes a magnet, not so much what's in the
KANE:
market. And how do you evaluate that?
. I don't th~nk my criticism deals adequately with your
comment. If that's your concern, then my criticism is
almost irrelevant. That all along" has not been our line

Then why be irrelevant?

about traffic generation.
\:
Do you feel that you've got enough control Over this th t
there is, there are adequate non-tourist, retail uses
that could be plugged in there to the tune of 10,000 squ re
feet of retail, not service retail, that, that could be
plugged in there, I guess that's the question, that are
non-tourist?
Yea, they'd be conditional uses, not permitted uses in
the N/C zone right now to adequately fill that space.
But there are conditional uses, and you would be operati g
under the presumption that there be conditional use hear
ings and that conditional uses would be,granted for that
space. But, yes, the answer's yes.
We supplied a list of the uses, there were 30 or 40 item
on there. And I'm convinced that in 10,000 square feet
we're not going to go out and try and, it's the intentio
of what we're talking about to not have tourist-type
retail down there. I understand the motive for the
zoning, and that's what we're dealing with. It's not out
in~ion, and I think you're zoning we're talking about
covers it, uses as listed is all we're asking for.
I'd like to ask if Michael will withdraw his motion first.
If he will not, I'd like to ask that we vote on the motio
as he made it and defeat it and entertain a new one.
I would say, yea, I'd be willing at this time to withdraw
my motion
Also withdraw my second.
There's no motion on the floor. Pete?
What did yo~ say about the site plan?
The site plan would have to be marked up so anything we
approve would be the site plan as submitted
I'd like to make a motion that we approve the site plan
with the mark offs as suggested to include dropping the
market to 15,000 square feet, increasing the retail to
10 and adding 2 on the bottom, as storage, and also

I have some heavy feelings about the straight retail.
One of the areas that this city needs most in my opinion
is the service/commercial type of thing, not straight out
retail. We've got lots of retail. There are many things
in the service area that we don't have. I would have to
vote against the motion. I would rather see it go into
the service retail, rather than the retail retail.
Just to respond to that briefly, If we really in fact do
need those things, I think that's exactly what Mr. Truema
will put in there because the market place will decide.

But I think there's a lot of difference in location, too.

CITIZEN PA~TICIPATION
1. Dave Farney, Little Annie Ski Corporation, told Council there had been
growth in Skiing at Vail last year, and 24.9 per cent for the Aspen area.
he felt Pitkin County should plan ahead. Farney passed out a draft of the
Impact statement done for the Little Annie Ski area.

2. Hans Brucker told Council he had come up with a personal idea to save money on the
brick job for the mall, whether it is five blocks or eight. Brucker said he thought
this could save several hundred dollars. Mayor Standley said the City had already
gotten bid specs out on the mall. Brucker answered his idea could be done independently
of the bid specs and would present this to City Manager Mahoney and the planning staff
this week.
3. Hans Gramiger told Council he felt Owl Creek would be developed with the rail, not
necessarily with any other form of transportation. Gramiger said he felt light rail is
a tremendous growth generator, and the impact on Owl Creek will be great.
COUNCILMEMBE~ COMMENTS
1. Councilman Behrendt said the alleys are filthy and practically impassable in certain
places. The malls are still dirty. Councilman Behrendt said he would like to see an
effort made in the next week to clean them up.
2. Councilman Wishart suggested the City look into a Charter amendment to stiffen up
the requirement for getting petitions for initiatives or referendums. City Attorney
Stuller answered that could be done by extending the number of signatures required
or limiting the items that can be voted on.
3. Councilman De Gregorio brought up the vendor on the Little Nell's sundeck. City
Attorney Stuller said the vendor had been cited by the City this morning.
4. Mayor Standley gave congratulations to the Aspen Police Department for the fine
jOb they did at Vail and the Colorado Law Enforcement ski race.
5. Mayor Standley told Council he and City Manager Mahoney were going to New York to
make a presentation to Moody's on the City's electric bonds to see if they could get
Aspen an A rating in the bond market.
6. Mayor Standley said the whole deal with the Aspen Institute is getting obfuscated
.again. Mayor Standley asked City Manager Mahoney, Ms. Stuller, and Planner Kane to
put together a packet for the next agenda. The Institute Board meeting is on March 26,
so the timing is appropriate. Maurice Mitchell of Denver University said that DU had
not made up their minds whether to put undergraduate or graduate students here.
STUDENT COMMENTS
There were none.

did last year. It is the major fund raising event for the ski club for the Aspen Skiers

TRUEMAN PROPERTY - Conceptual Subdivision
City/County Planner Bill Kane told Council that six major points had been agreed upon
since the last meeting. Trueman agreed to a 60 foot road and proper alignment has been
showed. Any reference to the post office size has been dropped; the unnecessary curb
cuts on Mill street were dropped. Adequate provision for separate conveyance of land
to the school district has been given (this is lot 4). The sporting goods rental has
been dropped. Kane said this left two issues; the use of land in the panhandle, and
the issue of the food store size.
Jim Trueman told Council he had reviewed all items discussed at the last meeting and
had made changes favorable to comn\ents of Council.' Trueman said he would much appreciate
a motion to approve the subdivision plan as submitted. Councilman Behrendt questioned
not using lot 3 for one year. Trueman said he had no problem with not developing it
for a year.
Mayor Standley's only comment was on a grocery store at 20,000 square feet. Mayor
Standley said after talking to Bryan JOhnson" ETF, and Pamela Gassman, he feels that
is an inappropriate size grocery store. Mayor Standley said he would like to see a
15,000 square foot grocery store, and asked forCouncil1s opinion. Councilwoman Johnston
concurred that ap?ropriate size is 15,000 square feet. Councilman Behrendt wanted

said Council. had gone through the process, and he would stand by the duly reached 'i
decision of 20,000 square feet. Councilman De Gregorio objected to a 20,000 square I
foot store because of that 12,000 square feet is grocery and the other 8,000 square
feet is other retail uses. 20,000 square feet is too. much because it is not a grocery
store. . ,Councilman Parry agreed with Councilman Wishart, and said he believed that I !
20,000 square feet is the right size for ,that location.
Jim Trueman told Council he could not get an operator capable of running a store for
less that 20,000 square feet. Trueman said the grocery store is the key to the project. I
Trueman said that zoning exists for a. 20,000 'square foot store on that piece of property.:!
Councilwoman Johnston objected to the size of 20,000 square feet because it is' a traffic ii
generator and brings people from other parts of the city. Joe Porter said that Trueman il
had been operating with the due process of City Council and had gone on from that II
point. Council has changed their minds, and Porter said he did not know where to go Ii
from here. Architect Larry Yaw said the basic problem is that if the 20,000 square Ii
feet store doesn't happen, the operator of that store doesn't happen, then the whole !'
project doesn't happen. Yaw said he had gone through every phasing strategy possible Iii
to make tilis happen.

Mayor Standley said when the Council changed their vote, they were being responsive to
the ci ti7.ens. It is unfair to say that the Council is not being predictable and con- Ii
sistent. Aspen now has a 15,000 square foot grocery store. Mayor Standley said it would:
be absurd for the Council'to allow development of 20,000 square feet not knowing what I:
kind of political changes are quite possibly going to Occur in the next couple of Ii
months. Mayor Standley said he felt the Council had strong arguments for a smaller ii
grocery store. Councilman DeGregorio said he did not feel it was the City's responsi- .:
bility to guarantee a developer economic profit. Kane said it was desirable for the
City to express what it wants in the way of a grocery store. Kane said he had a hard
time believing that someone can't 15,000 square feet and make a store go in Aspen.
Councilwoman Pedersen said the argument in favor of a large food store was based on
Basalt and Glenwood Springs. This is Aspen, Colorado, and there are certain things
here that are valued such as scale, not too much convenience, taste.
Councilman Behrendt moved to deny the conceptual subdivision approval; seconded by
Councilwoman Pedersen.

Trueman asked Council to consider the following changes; second floor employee housing
10,000 square feet; ground floor 15,000 square foot grocery store, 10,000 square feet
other retail; basement 10,000 square feet of health center and service retail and to
include 2,000 square feet of storage for a total of 47,000 square feet.
. . Ii
Kane said to take 5,000 square feet out of the grocery store may not accomplish Council's;
goal; it may just relocate the 5,000 squafe feet from the grocery store. The argument
against the 20,000 square foot grocery store is mainly against the non-food items; this
would just be moving them. Kane recommended this 5,000 square feet be put into service
retail uses. Architect Yaw said the specific uses would comply with the neighborhood
commercial zone. No one knows at present what uses will be in there, but they will
comply with the N/C standards. Mayor Standley said if the uses are restricted enough
and given identi'fication so as not to pull away from the tourist retail, then it does
not create that problem. Kane said his argument is the duplication of commercial core
retailing.

Councilman De Gregorio moved to approve the site plan as marked of to include dropping I
the market to 15,000 square feet and increasing the retail to 10,000 square feet, at the Ii
zoning discretion, include 2,000 square feet in the basement as storage and to hold the :
panhandle in moratorihm for one year; seconded by Councilman Parry.
Councilwoman Pedersen said she felt the town needed service/commercial areas most; not
just retail. Councilman Wishart said if, in fact, those things are needed, that is
what will move there.
All in favor of the motion with the exception of Councilwoman Pedersen. Motion carried.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Aspen Ci ty Council
FROM: Bill Kane, Planning Office
RE: Trueman/Conceputal Subdivision
DATE: March 3, 1976
Once again a request will be made for conceputal subdivision
approval for the Trueman Property. The majority of staff criticisms
have been dealt with at this time to include:
1. Provision of an adequate 60 foot right-of-way for
the interior road.
2. Proper alignment has been shown for the interior road.
3. Any reference to the actual post office size has been
dropped as per our request which was dependent upon an
assumption that the post office would be lowering their
space and parking requirements.
4. Elimination of unnecessary curb cuts on Mill Street.
5. Adequate provision has been shown for a separate con-
veyance to the school district of the upper lands.
6. Any reference to sporting goods rental has been dropped.
However, we again recommend that "development" of the Rio Grande right-of-way e
delayed pending a comittment to an ultimate Mill Street alignment.
We feel thataone year moratorium on the use of that land would pro-
vide adequate time to make such a determination.
The proposal repeats the request for a 20,000 square foot food store.
As you know we argued and continue to argue for a 15,000 square foot
limitation for such facilities but ceased our argument when the Council
took the position in favor of 20,000 square feet. With no interest
in reopening old wounds we remain quietly in favor of a 15,000 square
foot facility. We would be happy to restate our position should the
Council express an interest.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Aspen City Council
FROM: Planning Office, Bill Kane
RE: Trueman Property Conceptual Subdivision
DATE: February 19, 1976
Three central issues remained unresolved as of our last discussion of the
Trueman Property - Conceptual Subdivision: 1) Commercial building size;
2) Total number of lots, and 3) Engineering considerations for curb
cuts on Mill and internal street right-of-way. With the exception of
some minor reservations concerning the use mix, we feel that the plan
has been amended to deal with the planning staff and Council objections.
In short, the plan now calls for 1) two (2) developable lots including
the Post Office and 2) a 45,000 square foot building to include:
a) food store 20,000 square feet, - \,-_JI~c:51
b) associ ated neighborhood commerci a 1 uses 5,_00Q.squa.refeet,
c) health club and service related retail ~-basement 10,000
square feet, .
d) employee housing, 10,000 square feet.
The 10,000 square feet of office space previously discussed has been
changed to 3,500 square feet of health club and 6,500 square feet of
service retail. We support the concept of this change for two reasons:
1) The town is drastically overbuilt in office space with
170,000 square feet having been constructed last year.
2) The Trueman property was always planned to handle some
S.C.I. uses and continues to be the last feasible area
for space intensive retailing (furniture, appliance
repair, etc.).
While we agree with the concept we disagree with the location of sporting
goods rental as outlined in Mr. Yaw's letter and we will recommend
stronger, definitive controls on the uses proposed in the basement.

MEMO
TO: CITY COUNCIL
FROM: ~~~ :~~i;EE~~
.
DATE: February 18, 1976
RE: TRUEMAN PROPERTY - CONCEPTUAL SUBDIVISION REVIEW
The conceptual plan dated 2/17/76 is acceptable
to the engineering department with one major
exception. From the beginning we have. indicated
a 60 foot right-of-way is required by city code
for a local street and at this time we have not
seen sufficient evidence to allow for a reduction
in width to 40 feet. The alignment for. the local
street is satisfactory assuming that no. public.
through street will be established within the city's
Rio Grande.property -i.e., no connection between
Spring Street and Mill Street. Any Mill Street
entry to the Rio Grande property would be for
on-site uses only. The applicant has also been
alerted to the fact that some major utility re-
locations will be his responsibility should the
submitted concept be approved.

Dear Council Members:
We request conceptual planned unit approval under Ordinance 71 for
the above referenced project and herein enclose the information re-
quired in that ordinance. Subsequent to conceptual approval by the
Planning and Zoning Commission we have discussed issues relating
to Council approval at several meetings. The planning documents in-
cluded in this submission, we believe, reconcile the interests and
concerns stated by Council and therefore urge, in the interest of
scheduling toward construction in spring 1976, that approval be
granted at Council meeting, February 23.

Provide an architectural complex that.is considered a shopping
destination rather than a single use building.
To tie the two major buildings in the development, the Post Office
a,nd neighborhood commercial complex, together with architectural
massing, materials, planting and proximity.
To provide common pathways, landscaped pedestrian areas and
parking for all site functions and the public.
To implement circulation, open space and urban edge concepts
relating to those outlined in the overall Rio Grande Property Study.
Planned Unit Advantages

Use Proposal for 10, 000 sq. ft. Basement Area
The following Neighborhood Service functions are proposed to directly
accommodate neighborhood needs and to augment the concept of the
proposed Neighborhood Service Commercial Complex. These service
retail uses differ from the pedestrian oriented surface level uses in
that they do not require public shopping exposure, do not require
elaborately finished work spaees or natural light, and can afford the
less expensive rents resulting from the lower cost of unfinished base-
ment space. The uses noted are suggested to include and be similar
to those outlined in the Service/Commercial/Industrial Zone of the
Zoning Code of the City of Aspen.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Aspen City Counci.l
FROM: Planning Office (Bill Kane)
RE: Trueman Property, Cont:eptual Subdivision
DATE: January 22, 1976
Please find enclosed a letter from Joe Porter describing the revised
Trueman Plan. In short, the proposal includes a reduction of the
75,000 square feet building to 55,000 square feet with 10,000 square
feet of housing and a 5,000 square foot basement health club.
We recommend the following:
1. The 10,000 square feet of housing only makes sense
if developed in connection with the Housing Authority
and Brian Goodheim.
2. The 55,000 square feet proposal includes a 20,000
square foot grocery store. We are still recommending
a maximum of 15,000 square feet with or without
storage. Should this recommendation be accepted
then 5,000 square feet of area should be sacrificed
from the building.
3. That the office space in the building be restricted

Regular "Meeting
Aspe~City Council
January 26, 1976
==---=-=~~__.__,..,i
Mayor Standley replied that UMTA wanted definition of goals and objectives in total. !
Total goals and objectives of this community should not be determined by a rail caucus. I
Mayor Standley said this st~uld be focused properly. Kane said that a set of goals were
developed in 1972 a~d they exist right now. Maybe the design caucus could draw on the
exis"ting goals. Mayor Standley read from Simmons' report and stated he felt that, theij
goals and objectives listed were not exactly..thos e of the community; increase real. wages 'I"
provide better health facilities, eliminate sexual discrimination, educational and
cultural facilities for residents,. reduce inflationary bias in economy. Mayor Standley
said these are objectives that are being developed that are more expansive that what
is being talked about in regard to rail.
l
Councilwoman Johnston said her interpretatianof what UMTA wanted was that in evaluating
alternatives, they do not want one alternative taken against another but with a ste of
goals and objectives of thecommunity~ Councilwomar(Johnstonpointed out that Simmons'
committee will have to bring their report to the whole transportation committee.
Kane told Council he was present to clarify the role of the planning "office. Mayor
Standley's point had nothing to do with the planning office. Kane reminded Council that
a community goal for developing transportation was established in the 1966 Master Plan.
Kane pointed out that there isa lot of negative controversy about the rail. UMTA .
has given Pitkin County $158,000 to study transportation, and there will be no capital
for construction until this study is completed. Kane said that the community attitude
has not come along with UMTA change.
Councilwoman Johnston said that City participation in the whole process would be welcome. I
Mayor Standley asked Councilrnembers Parry and Wishart to get into the general meetings, 1
and if theyneededj they could go to Denver and talk to UMTA people there. Planner I
Kane said there were two processes taking place;cownunity involvement via the citizens ,
design caucus and actualUWfA application. Kanesai.d the planning staff will be
involved with the citizens design caucus and will try, to serve as resource and support
for these people.
ASPEN RESOURCE RECOVERY
Mayor Standley brought up an application the County put in for EPA ,funds. The City
has been notified by COG for their comments. Mayor Standley said if anybody had
comraents to give them to him in writing so that he could present the comments at the
next COG meeting. This is a three year program. If the City is interested, there are
some local matching funds required. The City would become a joint applicant with the
County and would agree to underwrite a share of the matChing funds.
TR~NSPORTATION REPORT
[
Yank Mojo, Director of Transportation, passed out the year's end report and the status
of all the equipment. Mojo said 50 per cent of the minibuses are down, which is one
reason why he uses school buses so often. Of the school bus fleet, 2/5 of them are
down, which is about right. Mojo pointed out that he could not use minibuses on the
County routes.
Mojo presented a chart of the last 18 months activity. There has been a 9 per cent
annual growth, with a substantial increase in ridership every month, especially on the
downvalley routes. Snowmass routes are almost entirely tourist riders. These routes
are becoming self-supporting as they can at 25, cents a ride.
Mojo showed Council a school bus coachette which carries 28 people and costs$ll,OOO.
Mojo told Council that if the City wants to upgrade the system and schedules, he needs
more equipment. Mojo said his department is struggling to keep things going, and they
complete 95 to 96 per cent of the routes. Mojo told Council that he has to go to
Minibus to get parts, which adds more than a week to downtime. While in 'California,
Mojo talked to a bus exchange, which would like an exclusive contract to sell the
minibuses for the City. Mojo said he was also considering a Dodge bus, which sells
for $45,000.
Mojo showed ,Council the signs for the buses. EV~ry bus has ,a sign , IIAspen Free
Shuttlell. There are detachable signs which indicate the route. The routes have be.en
color-coded. Mojo said some of the projects 'that have been suggested to him have been
good, but: he has net. had the manpower to do them. Mojo said he would like to run the
bus to the high school for late students and for CMC students at night, but this would
'beat'the expense of the Sriowbunnyroute. ......-._-,,-"_.~..._-,~_...._- ". m...-_._..
Councilman Parry a$ked about, leasing. 'equipment.. ~1ojo sa.id' he could qet a lease on a
1;1 pC:lssclHJer LJo(i,:;!"C [Dr $230a month fer t\.l,.O years. i'lojo Side! he couldn't see !)uyinCj
or leasing something small. A bus system is labor intensive, not capit'al intensive.. i!
Councilman Behrendt said the most notable letdown in the bus system is a sales program, j
getting the information to the people withcomprehensable schedules, etc. Mojo explainen
they had s.tarteda PR program with the help of AVIA, but that had fallen through. Mojo \:
said after the system is runninf) th0 \o;'~1.'y .the City says it, shouJdlJe, then he will st'art!
talking about and doingPR.
~m___
!i
Mojo said his departrnentliteral~y ran on a day to day panic keeping the equipment
going. This is no longer a department of five minibuses, butofl4 buses that carries
an average of 14,000 people a mont.h. Thedownvalley bus is hitting peak capaci,ty, and
Mojo has been runni.nq t;wc>. buses l.lp from El J'cbel at 7a.m.

Mayor Standley said he would rather than thisunderadvis~ment and look at alternatives
such as designating an official zone, or part of City Hall parking lot. Mayor -Standley
directed City Manager Mahoney to work with the fire department, get their requirements,
work out a solution and bring it back to Council.
Zeke Clymer,. fire department, told Councili t\'las getting to be a problem parking when
15 to 20 veh~cles sUddenly converge on: the fire department for an emergency. Clymer
asked if the City would consider converting part of the park along the east side of the
fire station for parking. Clymer said that daily, for some reason, three or four fire-
men come ~o the statiol1 ~o work and there is no place to park. Clymer said converting
the park ~nto a few park~ng places would not he expensive ,for the Citv. The fire
district would stand any expenses; the fire departrn~nt would donate tlmeand equipment.

TRUEMAN PROPERTY - Conceptual subdivision
Kane told Council the P',& Z had approved the conceptual subdivision with a .general
configuration of 23,000 square foot post office and 75,000 square foot general commer-
cial building. The Council had tabled the conceptual' subdivision at the last meeting
and required that the plan be amended to reduce the size of the commercial building.
Also required was that the balance of the property be reserved for future rezoning or
mechanism that would allow the developers of the land to come back to Council and ask II
for further development. . Porter's reduction is proposed to go from 75,000 square feet ,!
to 55,000 square feet, which includes 10, 000 for housing. Kane recommended the 10, OOO-!i~
square feet for housing only if coordinated with the housing authority with some ,.""11
assurance that it be employee housing. Kane told Council there is 15,000 square feet 11
of office space being proposed. The, planning office is recommending" ci.ty-wide, that Ii
office space and retail/commercial be cu~ pack. The plahningofficelsgeheral position:!
is that if the devf;lopersfeel this is a reasOnable use of land, there should be some i:
assurance that this is preserved,as office space and natbe converted into more retail. II'!
Kane reminded Council there is .a general downzcningpropqsalpending before p& z. I
One of the recommendations in this proposal is to take food stores from 20,000 to !
15,000 square feet. The planning office is recommending' that 5,000 square feet be !i
sacrificed from this building" if the Council accepts a food store at 15,000 square
feet.
Joe Porter told Council this development is proposed 55,000 square feet; 5,000 square
feet in the basement that will be health facilit.y prjmilxily for people that will use
the building; 25,QOO square feet ofrctail space; 20,000 sqU<:lre foot groccr:i store.
On top of that 15,000 square feet of service and doctor office space; on top of that
10,000 square feet of housing. Porter said he had no problem going through the housing
authority, or with the contingency on the office space.
Porter said at the last Council meeting the Councilha-d discl..lm:;cd phasi.ngt.heoiiqinal
75,-000 square (oot project. Porter said they planned to phase the construction also,
starting with the retail first.
Councilman Behrendt asked for an explanation of the conceptual block plan with dotted
lines. Porter replied those were future circulation plans, trail designations. These

For the s~cond floor uses, doctors and services offices, the planning office is recom-
mending that they' be covenaritedto those uses specificed to stop creeping commercialism.
The planning office ,wants this space restricted to office on1Y50 that the P & Z will
not be faced to conditional use hearings. Mayor Standley said he would be'willing to
accept 15,000 S(lUare feet of bona fide office and medical uses. Councilman Parry said
het:el t it should be open to what t,he need is; Council has no ideo. whdt t,heneed,will
be. Mayor Standley pointed out that that set,s up rating of uses; the developer can I
rate other buildings in town. .
Councilwoman Johnston moved that Council determine the footprint of the building at I
this point; seconded by Councilman Behrendt. CouncilmembersWishart', Pedersen, Johnston
Behrendt in favoz'; Councilmembers Parry, DeGregorio, Mayor Standley opposed. Motion
carried.
Councilman De Gregorio moved to accept a 25,000 square foot footprint~ seconded by
Councilman Parry.
Planner Kane told Council it was irrelevant to discuss footprint. This building will
not be uniformly two or three 'stories. The uses appropriate will make it a staggered
building; it could be 30,000 square feet on the first floo!:, an~ only 5,000 square feet
~n the second floor. The Council will get two shots at the architectural design of
this building.
Everyone opposed. Motion NOT carried.

Councilman Wishart questioned this facility. Porter said it would basically be handball
court, and sauna for the people that live there. Councilman De Gregorio said he could
see this becoming another health center; there are two in town already. This would
be increasing the value or cost of the apartments that the Council is trying to keep
as low-cost housing. Councilman Wishart agreed, but said he was not opposed to a

master General Lo study all alternatives possible to reduce capital expenditures.

19,000 square feet. Sherrick said the lack of capital funds does not affect the
project in Aspen; their interest still runs high. If anything does changes, Sherrick
sai.d he would contact the City. Sherrick said their parking would be adequate to
handle cust~rners~ they propose 95 customer parking stalls.

Service lawyers, Federal lawyers were meeting with the Ski Corp lawyers to see if this
matter could be settled out of Court. Mahoney said he felt this was an element that the
Council should address. Decisions are being made in Board rooms of the Ski Corp and the
Forest Service that affect the City. When the City has an opportunity to present their
,. interest, Mahoney said the City should take advantage of it. Mahoney recommended that
if need be that the Mayor" if willing, should be sent to Washington D.C. to make the
City of Aspen's interests known to the Courts. Mahoney pointed out if the Ski Corp
decided to move town people from Aspen to Buttermilk and Snowmass, it would impact the
City's transportation system and could create a system breakdown~ Mahoney requested the
Council consider funding a trip to Washington.
HMayor Standley told Council that the Forest Service directed that a season pass be
;: reinstated by January 20th. The Ski Corp had obtained a temporary're:strai'ning order
it January 29th. There will be a hearing in district court in Washington D.C. on January
The attorney for the governmental agencies had requested that Mayor Standley appear as
a witness for the government. City Attorney Stuller pointed out that this particular
litigation addressed only the season pass. Ms. Stuller said this was totally outside
stand taken by the City of Aspen to date. Ms. Stuller had prepared an affidavit for
Mayor Standley and had sent it to Washington.

Mayor Standley said that Zane Smith had indicated to him that the Forest Service might
pay for the trip to Washington. Councilman Behrendt said he would like to see the City
continue to participate in ,trying to get overall way for Ski Corp and other areas to
establish rates in the public arena with pUblic consideration. Councilman Behrendt said
on the specific issue of the ski pass, he would like to see the City hang loose. This i
is a separate issue from the public hearings on setting rates, etc. Mayor Standley said I
he would be appearing as an expert witness for the government and answering questions j
for the government, not giving a presentation. Councilman Wishart said he felt Mayor II
Standley's affidavit was proper, but it was not proper to go to Washington at the City's i
expense. As a defense witness, the onus is on the government. For the City to send I
Mayor Standley is going too far away from the line the City has taken~ Mayor Standley I
said the City would file their appeal after the season pass issue is resolved. The
outcome of this action will. impact the City's appeal. To that extent, the City does have III
an interest. Councilwoman Pedersen said the Council had honed a straight line to what
was important to them, the mechanics of rate setting and had tried to stay away from Ij
the private sector. Councilwoman Pedersen said she would IH;:e to see Council'.s original II

ORDINANCE #94, SERIES OF 1975 - Amendments to the Subdivision Regulations
City Attorney Stuller told Council this was instituted by the P & Z and is an attempt to
impose subdivision dedication fee on all development in the City. The P & Z did not
endorse the p~Eionthat employee housing should receive a deduction. Councilwoman
Johnston questioned Section 4, no park dedication fee shall be imposed if such fee was
paid at the time of the subdivision. City Attorney Stuller pointed out that the dedica-
tion fee was already paid, and if the project came in and put in another condominium, it
would go through resubdivision.

Councilman, Behrendt brought up vending-on private sectors immediately adjacent to the
pUblic rights-of-vi'ay. The hawking of merchandise looks lou.sy. CouncIlman Behrendt
said he did not think that the property owners would be totally irnmune to requests from
Council to remove some of this. Mayor Standley pointed out that the Mall Commission

Standley said he would be glad to do that. 'l'his marketing is gettin<; very blatant~ they Ii

directing City Manag,er Mahoney to deal with this problem at all levels possible, includin
going to the owners of the property.

MINUTES
Councilwoman Pedersen moved to approve the minutes ,of January .' 12, 13 and 19, 1976;
seconded by Councilwoman Johnston. All in favor, motion carried.
CITIZEN PARTICIPATION
1. John Smith, Grassroots television, told Council he had just returned from a ten
day workshop in New York for cable systems. Smith told Council that Grassroots was
about three years ahead of what is going on in the rest of the country. Smith said
there was a schism between Grassroots doing quality programming and individuals who
wish to use the channels. Smith said they had cut d9wn on citizen participation because
they have not had the equipment available. They now have loan of equipment to set up
a workshop for community access programming.
Smith to~d Council that Grassrootshad never been sure exactly what the community wanted
from cable television. Grassroots embarked on a survey to find out what ,viewers want
from community television. Smith asked the City Council for permission to use the
city computer time to tabulate the resultsof'thesurvey. . Councilman De Gregorio asked
how much computer time. Mayor Standley said the computer time :would be just a few
minutes; it would tak~ more time to put the program together.
Councilwoman Pedersen moved to donate computer time fo~ the tabulation of Grassroots'
project; seconded by Councilman DeGregorio. All- in favor, motion carried.
2. Elmer Beamer told Council he would like to talk about the size of the grocery store
on the Trueman property, but would wait until the it.em came up on the agenda: Council
agreed.
3. Kiefer Mendenhall told Council he was trying to figure out Council's response, or
lack thereof, to the overwhelming support Mendenh~ll has received in opposition to the
mall. Mendenhall wondered :whether the auto disincentive program the Council seems
intent on pursuing is not in support of the County application to UMTA. Mendenhall
asked 'if that is an appropriate reason for C6uncil'shardheadedness ahout the mall.
Mendenhall reported that at a meeting with UMTA a response was made that the City was
in the process of closing the streets, limitingtheparRing, and maIling. Mendenhall
said Council's support of the mall ,seems to be. motivated ~yadesiretoassist the
County in their applicationtoUMTA. Mayor Standley told Mendenhall to stay for the
UMTA report and mall presentation; they both speak directly to what Mendenhall is
saying.

Peshawar, Pakistan:
"Dear Mr Standley,
I has taken me such a long time and still I have not found words ~ppropriate enough to

sadly unsuccessful trip in search of Fritz Staromberger. I thank you very much for your
letter and request you to convey my heartfelt sympathies to Fritz's family and friends

Dear Council Member:
I appeal to you to consider favorably any action necessary to provide
adequate food purchasing facilities for the locals as well as the
great nUmber of tourists we host every year.
I
I
The present facilities are incapable of providing adequate supply and
variety for the consumer. Time and again I am required to make
several stops to purchase a modest number of items. This multiple
stop shopping is brought on as a result of empty shelves or lac
availability of specific items. Having to visit more than one estab-
lishment for a day's or week's shopping can only contribute to more
auto congestion. .=<"'~.,"
Whenever Igo to Denver on business, which is quite often, I try to
buy hard-to-find items there or in Glenwood Springs. I would rather
shop at "home".
I believe you'can help solve this most serious human problem by the
following actions:
1. Allow a grocery store to have as much as 20,000 feet of
m~rketing space devoted to groceries only. This kind of
store has been designed in other parts of the country in
a manner consistent with the aesthetic tastes of the local
citizenry.
2. Consider seriously the location' of such a store at the
Airport Business Center. Rather than contribute to the
local auto problem, I believe the eastern and central
part of Aspen would shop where they now Shop, assuming a
competitive situation. The western part of Aspen, Snowmass,
Woody'Creek, etc., would probably all concentrate on shop-
ping at the airport center, thus eliminating heavy traffic
from the core area.
YoPX consideration of this appeal from one of yoPX constituents will be
most appreciated.
Very truly yoPXs,
ute',~~~

May I please
market problem:
First, ~aving served seven years on the City Counc
of Shaker Heights, Ohio, I appreciate the difficulty of
the problems you constantly deal with, the occasional
frustrations, and the absolute1~ impossibility of pleas~
ing everyone. You must listen to all sides, including
the views of the City's paid employees, but .then evalu-
ate what you hear and make your own decision. I do not
envy you your jobs.
Second, the Truman property today is AspenB leading
"Aspen Eyesore" - filled with junk trucks, cars, campers
and trash, so~e ~tanding there for more than a year.
The deplorable sight is aggrevated by the same collection
around the garage on the east side of Mill Street.
Please permit someone to develop something there - any-
thing would be better than the way it is now. Please
also consider whether the collection of junk on the east
side is not in violation of somB of our laws.
three points regarding the
To the Members of
City
make
Council:
Third, please do not refer to a 12,000 foot store as
a "supermarket" or permit your planning staff to do so.
Call that size store a convenience store, self-service
store, or some other name, but not a supe~market. To-
day's supermarkets generally run upwards to 30,000
square feet. I have not.seen the article myself, but I
am informed that a survey by Progressive Grocer shows
that the supermarkets opened in 1974 averaged 27,000 feet.
I am sure that none of us who live on Red Mountain
and who pass the Truman site every day want a structure
and parking lot such as the Safeway store in Glenwood
Springs. I believe the present collection of junk
could be replaced by an attractively designed structure'
and parking area, which could include several small
shops and a market of at least 20,000 square feet.
Sincerely,

Dear Member of Council a
As a member of this community I would like to express my
concern with regard to adequate supermarket facilities . At the
present time it is impossible for me to shop for my family of
four in an economical way. I spend anywhere from SlOO 'Per week..
to $1~0... I,e, the consumers, pay high prices in Aspen because
"there are no large sizes of any foods available. It is also
impossible to get what you need most of the time because of empty
shelves. Many times theJ;:e are no shopping carts available and
Hi th a 2 year old chiid along with me it is ridiculous to even
consider going through the market. Parking space is also at a
premium and usua~~y ~s non-existent. .
We have lived here six .years now and I would hope that I
do not have to continue to go through the weekly i=itation of
grocery shopping in Aspen as it exists. If a 20,000 sq. ft.
supermarket were bmlt, it seems to me that many of the above
listed problems would be solved.
I do not have time to drive to GlenHood and hope that you
w~ll seriously consider your decision on whether to keep the
20,000 sq. ft. area now permitted for grocery size. This decision
w~ll greatly affect the families in Aspen.
Sincerely,
~~'.'~~kol~

Dear Member of Council:
We are in favor of a new, grocery store in the Aspen Area. We also
feel that it should be at least 20,000 sq. feet. It's kind of nice to ~
be able to do most of your shopping und~r one roof!!!!
~
My family consists of --L- people'. .We spend approximately $ 65.00
per week. In order to'save money and have abetter selection and also
have a bigger variety of sizes we shop in Glenwood as ,often as possible.
We would appreciate your giving our complaints a great deal of thought
and try to look at this problem through. a consumer standpoint.
My complaints are as follows:
I live at Basalt, but ,work in Aspen, so do some()f my grocery
in the one and only CITY MARKET Or TOM'S MARKET, which is really a
hassel to try to do in the one hour I have for lunch or even worse
evening after 5:00 p.m. If there were a large shopping center all
one roof I would do more of my shopping in the Aspen store as I am
anyway and would not' have to go ,elsewhere
As it is now" there is nO selection most of the time--the reason
too many people trying to shop in small stores. I have
markets on different occasions
or a dn7~n p~~s, simply because
with two or three children do when these most important items are not
I do not blame the people of City Market or Tom's Market for this, as I feel
they are doing the best they can with the space they h~ve for the amount of
they have to supply with food--if they had more food where would they put it
such a limited space?????
Why are the city and county fathers so against anything that might
fast rowin area? Apparently you DONOr HAVE to do the shopping
fight the traffic on "Killer 82" in order to obtain the necessities
have to have.
The town needs the tourists in order to hav,e alivlihood--so why
them out? What you people need to do is. come down to ea,rth.an<i
this a better area to live in by coping with your problems' rat~er
to keep progress from happening--it is going to anyway' whether we
not.

Dear Members of Council:
I am in hopes of your support in allowing a 20,000 s~uare
feet grocery in Aspen.
i
-I
Certainly, we all agree that present retail sources for
food in Aspen are inade~uate. They simply cannot stock shelves
properly with basic food stuffs and offer a reasonable selection
to the consumer; In fact, our present sources claim they can't
stock re~uested items regardless of size, because there is no
room and it would cause the elimination of some other presently
stocked item.
My point is that another 12,000 s~uare foot grocer~ is no~
the answer to our problem. It'will obviously be forced into
stocking its shelves in th~ s~me__~~~E_th~~I~sse~~~Jl~_~~
~.2.l!lJ2.eJ,l~.!Li2 st?~k. We need a grocery that can ade~uately
supply a reasonable selection of food stuffs and we believe
that a 12,000 s~uare foot store cannot do it.
I ~Ru.Il..Glen!:,oqd spui!g~,:~ut,,~~+:y__t.~_::J.ay,"'.Lqr_'L-
~~J,~f-1hr~~4- We are all legal, registered voters in Pitkin
County. Yes, it is a terrible waste of gas, time and money.
However, we will continue to do so until Aspen is provided with
an ade~uate grocery facility.

Handwritten letter from Ruth Hoff
I would like to support the plan for a supermarket of 20,000 sq. feet
for the Trueman property. As a housiewife, mother of four teenage'rs and a
hostess, 'I find that my grocery bills run from $500 to $600 a month. That is
~
"hell of a lot of food" and requires many trips' to our two understocked grocery
store~.
,
City Market is a[a.nd no matter what day I shop, I find many of the
I need not on the shelves especially such things as ~arge ~allon milk containers,
large orange juice cans,~~~ge jars ?f mayonnaise aQQ~eanut butte~. The answers
-
to my pleas of keeping the Shelves stocked are: "We are sorry, but we just don;t have
space to stock these items or 'You will have to wait until the truck comes
Not to be undaunted, I then go over to Tom's and find the same situation.
Just as often in off-season as in the peak periods too.
- .
. "
l.n.
The overcrowdingof.customers in these stores is most nerve~wracking
all I have to control my temper on the three days a week that I shop.
I have tried the delivery service at Tom's and find it most ineffective.
- --
Only half. of the order can be filled. PLUS
THEY ARE NOW CHARGING $2.50
for orders under $50 and $3.50 for orders over $50.00 for EACH HOME DELIVERY.
Needless to say that discourages me from ordering my groceries.
We have lived in Aspen for 12 years and avera e one tri a month to Glenwood
That is a lot of tax revenue that the city and county lose.
I believe that you, as representatives of the local people should heied
plea fora larger market. We do not shop<as a condominium owner and a
for us isridiculous--not only st9ckwise but price wise.
Thank you for your time and consideration of this letter.
PLEASE VOTE YES ON THE 20,000 sq. foot and help our economy.
DON"TMAKE ASPENA.PLACEFOR JUST THE VERY WEALTHY!
Copy of notice Tom's Market sent out since Jan. 1, 1975
Due to the tremendous increase in demand for home delivery
service and the continuous increases in in all expenses
connected with this service, we are no longer able to absorb
the total of these costs without endangering the economic
viability of our store,
We therefore will add a service charge
deliveries under $50 00 and $3.50

Dear Member of Council:
r am writing to express my dissatisfaction with the
food store arrangement in Aspen.
r personally feel that it is inrnn~1stent for the County
and City governments to speaK about the quality of life.
and high living standards here i~ they continue to allow
the crowded and ~nconvenient food shopping situation to exist
r have been a resident of As and r have ha~
to shop for my groceries on a regular asis and r find
~hoEping i~CityMarket one of the most unpleasant aspects
of living in Aspen. The park~ng ~s ~nadaquate, the lack of
shopping carts upon occasion, the long check out lines,the
pecul:l:.dr purchasing' .prejudices, for example, why is it you
can not buy a can of boiled onions here?, and a number of
other elements all make it an unpleasan~experience and I
believ~ it s time to add another market to Aspent

A new market would improve the above conditions,! believe,
although I do not believe there would be any change in prices
charged. r hdpe that the Ciry Council will see fit to take
prompt and appropriate action concerning adding a new food
marke~ in the Aspen area.

Dear Councilman:
While the citizens of Aspen anxiously await establishment of additional
grocery facilities, it appears the go-ahead has been bogged down by
controversy as to size and location. As one of your constituents, I
would like to present my thoughts on the matter. For background, each
Saturday morning I drive tc> City Market and purchase food for two
people -- two or three bags .of groceries costing between $20 and $30.
Incidentally, this is usually the only time I drive a car all week.
Often I have to pick up missing items later in the week with "walk-in"
trips to Tom's or City Market. Certainly I've experienced inconveniences
shopping at City Market, .but my sympathy is with anyone buying for .a
family as the problems are multiplied many times over. . It seems evident
the 'solution to the size and location problems would be along these lines:
1)
Size of Market - A market somewhat larger than City Market is
necessary -- one approaching 20,000 sq.ft. and devoted to gr2cer
items, not clothing, drugs, etc. It is important that a store I
have space to accommodate economy-size items and in. quantities
that do not require the constant restocking of shelves.
Location of Market - The Airport. Business Center appears to be the
most appropriate location for such a market. A store at the airport
would cutdown considerably on auto traffic in Aspen as those from
Snowmass, Woody Creek, etc" would not have to drive into the city.
. This point should be an enormous plus for the airport location.
It's been said that a market at the airport would cause more problems
on Hwy 82. How can this. be? What difference does it make whether
people heading east drive only as far as the airport or all the way
into town? As far as those heading west, if the city streets
take all the grocery traffic now, I should think 82 can handle it
2)
There has. been support for construction of several small, neighborhood
groceries instead of one large store. . Some argu!nents against the small
market concept are these:
~e are so concerned With. aesthetics, W..h..y clutter up the town with
\ .~l ~ch of little m~kets and thebr.....ai]j.Q.ipJ.J,,g parkin-€Lareas. One
- store of adequate size with landscaped parking wouldn't be nearly as
offensive. And it is a known fact that the grocery chains are willing
to work with a community in designing a store to complement the
surroundings.
Pa.ge 7 06 Joa.n Levo .te:U.eJr.

2) [Pla:ng one of'thesesma11 markets at Snowmass,
would be financial suicide. At this point that
~up~~ta market year-round:
3) Perhaps for a single person, the small s'b:0re is adequate. But
this is not. a solution for the majority -- the families of Aspen.

You, as a member of City Council, will be making the final decisions
regarding grocery facilities. Hopefully, even though most of you are
single, these decisions will be based upon the needs of your constituents
and will be made only after studying the facts with an open mind. .
Good luck!

Dear C'DunciT Member:.
Just about everyone I talked to during Aspen's holiday time asked
the same qU€stion, "why can't Aspen have a Safeway or another
supermarket?" There's an emerf1:ency need for one~ If a supermarket
can not be built at the Airport Business Center, I should like to
see one built in the field just west 'of the Shale Bluffs. This
location would help eliminate traffic c.ongestion and pollution in
Aspen and' would better serve the Snowmass area.
1
Did you know. there was a truck strike during the holidays so TDm's
Market didn't have any truck deliverieS' for five or six days. Their
shelves were really bare.City Market was packed as tight as sardines
in a can. You could see that from..the picture in the AS}len Times.
"",
If a super market is built at the Rio Grande Property, I certainly
hope you will seriously consider a 20,000 square foot market. Any
thing less will not remed)' the situationbecause we want a one-stcqJ
situation so we do not haVe to drive from one shop to another.
Sincerely yours,

Dear Member of Council:
It has been brought to my attention that on
January 12, 1976_you are going to discuss the siz~
of the probable supermarket building.
My family and live-in help consists of six permanent
residents. We have become so disgusted with the
present sholping facilities during both the summer
and winter on-seasons, that we now store our dry
groceries in our basement. We urchase at t ~
Safewa Market in Glenwood Sprin s from 400.00
1.70() 00 lAP>' tJ:1.p, lnc u lng ry groceries, frozen
vegetables and meats. We use the local markets for
convenience shopping only when we must.
This is because of the horrendous lines and the fact
that many times when my wife has gone to the market
the shelves are empty of the items we seek.
The fact that our Town and County is losing much .'
needed revenue is something that we must seriously
look into.
Incidentally,' we also fill our gas tanks in Glenwood
as the gas is so much cheaper--Again I am'sure hurting
our County taxes.
We would appreciate it tremendously if the Council
will see to it that we have a large enough supermarket
to accommodate the needs of our residents as well as
the tourists' needs, not only for the present but the
future.

Dear Member of Council

I think the appropriate place for you to fiold your coming discussions
on the possible downzoning from 20,000 to 12,000 sguarefeet of
market space in Aspen might be the main entrance of City Market.
After two weeks of the "holiday spirit" tf you got out witfi your
coattails in tact, you'd probably be lucky! -
, /
As a mother of three small children I would ask tfiat the Council
Members try to look at the problems tfiat face the famtly members
of your constituency. This consideration mtght also take into
account the strong drive being made by tfie County Commissioners.
for a light rail system ,:,fiich will ban. automobile traffic from the
downtown area, and their total lack of, response to building a large
supermarket at the' Airport Business Center. Bas,ically, ,the
problems are:' ,
I} Parking. Mothers ~ith preschool cfiildren are forced
to shop during the week, and must have a car to transport
groceries and children to and fromtfie market. Cross
country skis, bicycles and shuttle busses are difficult
for the task witfi 6 to 8 bags of. groceries ,and 2 more
children in tow.
It is tempting-to
say that the only
from
City
her that Santa had already been around
appear until toe miudle of tfie next day
but let me simply
two weeks came
at

02} A good, complete supply of items on the shelves (during
,Christm, as thiS,,' year milk, eggs, butter and, even bread ",'ere
absent half the time} and in sufficient sizes to feed a
family of five or more. .
Please consider that everyone one in Aspen is not free, white
21 -- some of us are getting beate'n down, blue in the face and
ready for medicare before weare ..eligible over the daily grind
of grocery shopping,.

Dear Member of Council:
The discussion ofa new supermarket has gone on for
some time. Hopefully in the near future this will be
concluded and some action will be taken. To this end
I.wish to express my concern and desires as a citizen
of the City of Aspen -
Although I am single, I am not transient. I have lived
here for 0 SlX of the last seven years. Inorder
.to surVlve ere 1 as been necessary forme to put
in long hours at work, particularly in the height of
our tourist economy. It has been extrememly frustrating
for me to finish work late and have to contended with
those who have finished a day of skiing in long lines
at City Market. I have a right tosome of theconvenien-
cies and ease of a good competitive shopping system which
other communities have of our size.
I feel that it is only fair to have a large enough super-
market to compete economically and profitably with a
store like City Market and therefore let's support a
chain that can. I want to see a store that can give
me a large selection of goods with high quality produce
and goods at competitive prices.
I say alot the larger square footage to a store that can
do this.
S~ncerely yours,

Dear Members of Council:
As a permanent resident of Aspen for 20 years and a family
man for 16 years, I feel that the time has come when Aspen needs
another supermarket which could be utilized by the people of Aspen
as well as visitors. As members of the council are aware and also
the citizens of A spen the present two markets: Tom's Market and
City Market-.: are not adesuate to handle the needs of residents and
tourists during the major part of tp.e year. I personally do not do
much of the shopping--Mrs. Woodward does most of it but we both
find that during the off-seasons in the spring and fall there are many
items missing fro'm the shelves and' the situation is even worse during
the winter and summer 'months. In addition, it is always difficult to
find adequate parking near either market.
Neither Tom's Market nor City Market have adequate storage
facilities and are therefore rlOt able to carry the supplies neces sary
to accommodate shoppers.
It is my personal feeling that a new supermarket of at least
20,000 square feet is needed either on the Trueman r:>roperty or else-
where. At the present time most of the criticism in regard to a larger
market not being necessary is co'ming from single individuals and not
people with families or people who are forced to drive great'distances
to reach a market. Our family .does not 'make frequent trips to Glenwood
Springs or Basalt to buy groceries but if the price of groceries continue~
to increase and it becomes more of a problem to find a parking plac~ ....
downtown we probably will divert our .business down valley. Our average'
weekly expenditures for groceries for four people runs approximately
$150. When the occasion does arise that we purcha"'";; groceries in ·
Glenwood Springs we find there is a larger selection available to the
customer and also 'more items on sale. Prices overall compare to those.
in Aspen except that I have the impression that prices in Aspen are in-
creased during peak tourist seasons.

I think the ti'me has come when the City Council and the
residents of Aspen should take a good look at the situation and decide
what is needed in the way of a new supermarket. I do not think that
a 12,000 square foot 'market is going to be adequate. If the City
Council and the Planning & Zoning Commission approve a market of
this size there will be more people requesting space for additional . \\
food 'markets and eventually we may be overrun with small markets
all with limited food supplies and higher prices to the consumer.
,':;,
Our family has changed fro'mTom' s Market. to City Market
because of the difference in prices. During the last year and a half
we have spent only $25 to $35 a month shopping at Tom's. Therefore
we feel that a larger new supermarket could offer co,!,-petitive prices
and is a necessity for fa'milies who would like to be able to purchase
food and other household needs without ruining their budget.

MEMORANDUM

Aspen City Council
FROM:
C. Collins, P. Dobie, B. Goodheim
Planning & Zoning Commission
RE:
Trueman Property
DATE:
December 22, 1975
At the December 9, 1975 meeting of the Planning & Zoning Commission
approval was given to Conceptual Subdivision for the Trueman Property
by a 4 to 3 vote of the Commission.
Because of the importance of development in this area to overall planning
in the City, the minority Commission members in the above decision wish
to convey to Council their reasons for not approving the conceptual sub-
division application.
The objections vary with individual members, but the following comments
reflect the general consensus in voting for disapproval:
1. The proposed development of 23,000 square feet for a Post Office
and 75,.000 square feet for a commercial, office and residential
building is not within the intent of Service/Commercial/Industrial
and Neighborhood Commercial which the area is presently zoned.
The total of 98,000 square feet;.is almost two full city blocks (91%)
in area and is therefore regional rather than neighborhood in scope.
2. The proposed scale of the project will seriously impact the area,
especially in terms of car and traffic generation.
3. The development will lead to further exodus of businesses from the
downtown area and jeopardize mall extension and a viable core area.
4. The project is not compatible with plans to deemphasize the car and
encourage use of public transit.
5. The problems associated with traffic circulation through the rail-
road property and to Red Mountain have not been resolved.
6. Any plan which includes 20,000 square feet for a food store is not
consistent with Planning Office recommendations that the maximum
size be reduced to 12,000 square feet.
We respectfully submit that the proposed conceptual plan is too extensive
and bulky to come under the Neighborhood Commercial idea of "convenience
shopping" and it does not meet any of the needs for Service/Commercial/
Industrial operations in that area.

MEMORANDUM
TO: City Planning Commission and Aspen City Council
FROM: Pl anni ng Staff (Bi 11 Kane)
RE: Trueman Property - Conceptual Subdivision
DATE: December 1, 1975
After careful review of the Conceptual Subdivision proposal for the
Trueman property we recommend in general:
1. A reduction in the size of the multi-purpose
commercial building and
2. Clearer provision for a new road alignment through
the site.
SIZE OF COMMERCIAL FACILITIES
The property is currently zoned S.C.1. and N.C., Neighborhood Commercial
with a Special Planned Area. overlay. It is our understanding that
these zoning catagories were applied to establish use regulations while
in general deferring to the S.P.A. review process to determine more
detailed matters such as bulk, height, density, circulation, etc.
The applicants are at ~his time requesting conceptual approval for a
23,000 square foot Pos t Offi ce and an addi ti ona 175,000 square feet
for commercial, office aDd residential purposes. All of the permitted
uses in the N.C. zone are submitted below along with the respective
floor area limitations now provided for in the Code. Assuming that
the Planning Office recommendation to reduce food store areas from
20,000 square feet to 12,000 square feet is rejected, it is clear from
the list that the total range of permitted uses in the N.C. zone would
require 35,000 square feet.

Assuming an additional 10,000 square feet for anticipated "conditional uses"
and 6,000 square feet for ten (10) dwelling units at 600 square feet each
it is hard to imagine space requirements beyond 51,000 square feet. This
also assumes that the pending recommendations for zoning changes will not
be heeded. We recommend that an exaustive supply of neighborhood commercial
services could easily be provided in a 50,000 square foot building. In
addition we wonder about the propriety of approving some 35,000 square
feet of speculative space based on the assumption that conditional uses
will be granted practically at the will of the developer. Approval for
space for uses not permitted in the N.C. zone should be reserved pending
appropriate conditional use hearings. A 75,000 square foot building
represents a Shopping center that will draw upon the entire Aspen market
area and is thus in fundamental contradiction to the intention of the
Neighborhood Commercial zone which is in part "to allow convenience
establishments as part of a neighborhood, designed and planned to be com-
patible with the surrounding neighborhood". Also 25,000 square feet is
sh'own for office space. The current zoning amendments proposed by the
Planning Office are predicated on the belief that too much office space
already exists with 170,000 square feet currently under construction.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Planning Office, Planning & Zoning Commission
FROM: Dave Ellis, City Engineer~
RE: Trueman Property Conceptual Review
DATE: November 28, 1975
The major concerns of the engineering department in regard to the
Trueman Property conceptual subdivision review are outlined below.
Circulation & Traffic
Until it has been conclusively demonstrated that.a collector link
through the city's Rmo Grande Property is not needed, the proposed
location for the Trueman Property road is unacceptable. There should
not be two separate "T" intersections with the concomitant congestion
due to a double turning movement for a major traffic stream. A single
four-way intersection is the better approach. This problem is more
or less independent of the route selection for the river crossing.
The subdivision design standards do not allow direct parking access
from an arterial which is shown in this plan. Earlier schemes had
included a single local street entry onto North Mill with parking
off of the 1 oca 1 street.'
Right-of-way Requirements
The current minimum right-of-way requirement is 60 feet (40 feet shown
on plan) although the developer has indicated that 60 feet can be
provided. Should the final route selection for the river crossing be
down the panhandle, acquisition of the necessary right~of-way should
not be prejudiced in favor of the developer nor precluded by the approval
of the indicated improvements in the panhandle.
Building Location; Landscaping and Grading
During the review of earlier plans for this property considerable
emphasis was placed upon preserving the existing vegetation along the
southwesterly embankment. In the current plan the southwesterly limit
of the commercial building footprint encroaches heavily into this
embankment (as much as 15 feet of cut in the northwest wing). Another
major grove is nearly eliminated by the parking lot circulation. The
south end of the commercial building is shown lying over two existing
city water mains, one of which cannot be abandoned and in fact must be
enlarged.
The ultimate grade of North Mill will be approximately five feet higher
at the south end of the project. The site plan should allow for this
future grade change. The ultimate intent is to make Mill Street into a
parkway environment with considerable setback for improvements and/or
landscape screening. With this approach the parking lots should be set-
back to allow for a more adequate landscaping buffer zone.
Existing Encumberances on Property
The plan as presented does not correctly show the existing public right-
of-way on Mill Street. Approximately 4,200 square feet of the southeast
parking area is public right-of-way. The plan presents a rather useable
site when in fact there are water and sewer lines in place on the site
and through some of the proposed buildil1gs; another water and sewer
easement bisects the property along the old railroad alignment; and the
.

existing road into Lakeview is a public right-of-way. These matters can
undoubtably be resolved in the better interest of the City and the developer,
but it becomes the burden of the developer to accomodate these problems
and it is not the City's obligation to guarantee any private development
or site.

Conceptual Approval Submission for Planned Unit
Development and Subdivision Review
Statement of Planning Objectives
Three options have been considered for development of the
Trueman Property:
1. A seven-lot subdivisi.on has been designed, evaluated and re-
jected. Although the plan would be easy to develop and market,
it did little to fulfill the objective of having a self--contained
neighborhood commercial center where various uses could
share facilities.
...~'
2. A multi -use building cluster and parking structure was designed
in detail by Shotland. The building complex which used approxi-
matelyone third of the Trueman Property included approximately
105,000 sq. ft. which included 37,000 sq. ft. of parking structure
and 64, 000 sq. ft. of commercial, residential and office space.
The project i.s. not considered feasible and a decision was made
to devote more of the site to the neighborhood center and to
reduce the building floor space.
3. The development prog-i'am selected by the deveiope1"and
presently being designed is envisioned to include the post
office and a mixed use single building or building cluster
somewhat simpler than the Shotland scheme. Objectives for
the master plan are to:
Provide a neighborhood commercial area that will provide
a full range of day to day commercial services for the
. surrounding residential areas.
To provide an architectural complex that is considered
shopping destination rather than a single -use building.
To tie the two major buildings in the development, the post
offIce and the Trueman complex, together with architectural
massing:, planting, and proximity.
To provide common pathways, landscaped plazas, and parking
for all site functions and the public.
