The Roaring Fork Watershed Plan was initiated over two years ago with discussions among the participants in the Watershed Collaborative regarding the need for a comprehensive study of local water resources, threats to those resources, and strategies for maintaining and improving local water resources. The Ruedi Water and Power Authority has been the sponsor of that study effort and the Roaring Fork Conservancy has been the Authority's principal contractor for Phase I, the State of the Watershed Report. The Report was officially released on Dec.4, 2008 and copies of the Report's Executive Summary were delivered by mail to all elected officials in the valley in late December. We will be happy to answer questions on the Summary or the entire Report which can be accessed via the Internet at www.roarinafork.or~/watershedplan. Both Aspen and Pitkin County have requested printed copies of the entire document for your reference libraries-those copies are currently in production. Our presentation on Feb. 3 will highlight some of the major findings of the State of the Watershed Report including some findings specific to Pitkin County and to the upper Roaring Fork and Maroon- Castle Creek drainages. We will also discuss Phase II of the Watershed Plan which will consist of a watershed-wide series of public meetings aimed at identifying long-term goals, short-term objectives, immediate projects and policy recommendations. We appreciate the strong support that Aspen and Pitkin County have provided to this planning effort. We think that the State of the Watershed Report is a valuable addition to our understanding of local water resources and we look forward to working with you and your respective staffs to determine how we can best apply that understanding to the preservation and enhancement of our local water resources. MEMORANDUM TO: Aspen City Council Board of County Commissioners City of Aspen Planning and Zoning Commission Pitkin County Planning and Zoning Commission FROM: Jessica Garrow, City Long Range Planner Ben Gagnon, City Special Projects Planner Ellen Sassano, County Long Range Planner THRU: Chris Bendon, City Community Development Director Cindy Houben, County Community Development Director DATE OF MEMO: January 29, 2009 MEETING DATE: February 3, 2009 RE: Aspen Area Community Plan Update REQUEST OF COUNCIL, COMMISSIONERS, P&Zs: There is no formal action requested at this time. The purpose of this meeting is to review the overall progress of the update to the Aspen Area Community Plan. While no official action is required, staff would like to get feedback on a number of issues. This is a joint meeting with the City Council, County Commissioners, and the City and County Planning and Zoning Commissions. BACKGROUND: The public process for the update to the Aspen Area Community Plan began in September of 2008. A great deal of information has been generated and provided to the Board, Council, and P&Zs since that time, including: • State of the Aspen Area: 2000 - 2008 • Economic White Paper • City of Aspen housing survey • Small Group meeting synthesis • Survey Results (provided at 2/3/2009 work session) • Large Group meeting keypad results (Attached as Exhibit A) • AABC meeting minutes (sent to Pitkin County Commissioners and P&Z by County staff) All of this information is also available on our website, www.aspencommunityvision.com. DISCUSSION: City and County staff, along with consultants from Design Workshop and 4C, ran a series of large public meetings on the update to the Aspen Area Community Plan on January 27`h and 315`. Staff would like to hear general impressions of the Community Vision meetings from the Board, Council, and P&Zs. We'd like to hear if there was anything surprising, anything that stuck out, etc. At the time of this memo, results from the January 27~" meeting were available, and have been attached to this memo as Exhibit A. One of the next steps in the process will be to draft a section in the plan on the topic of Governance, which has never been done before. Because of your unique perspectives, staff would like to ask members of the Board, Council and P&Zs to begin reflecting on the concept of how representative government works in the city and the county. We'd also like to hear from you if you think this is a worthwhile section to include in this update. While we'd like to get some initial thoughts at this meeting, we will set aside more time aside at subsequent meetings. Linda Venturoni will be at the work session to go over the results from the survey. She will provide an executive summary to the Board, Council, and P&Zs at the meeting. If any member of the Board, Council, and P&Zs would like the full copy of the survey results, please let staff know at the meeting. The complete results will also available on our website, www.asoencommunitvvision.com, on February 2nd. Finally, staff will give an overview of the next steps in the process. Staff has not begun writing the update, but will begin the first week in February. Our goal is to get a first draft of the plan to you by the 18th of February. At the same time, the plan would be made available to the public on our website. Following the release of the draft to the Board, Council, and P&Zs, and the public, staff proposes the following schedule: February 20: Brown Bag discussion of initial draft, noon -1 pm in Council Chambers February 24: Joint City/County P&Z meeting feedback re: draft Community Vision Plan, 4:30 in Sister Cities March 3: Joint County P&Z/BOCC meeting re: draft Community Vision Plan, 4:00 - 5:30 in Plaza 1 Joint City P&Z/Council meeting, 5:00 in Council Chambers) re: draft Community Vision Plan, 5:30 - 7:00 in Council Chambers March 10: Joint County P&Z/BOCC meeting re: draft Community Vision Plan, 4:00 - 5:30 in Plaza 1 Joint City P&Z/Council meeting, 5:00 in Council Chambers) re: draft Community Vision Plan, 5:30 - 7:00 in Council Chambers March 17: Joint County P&Z/BOCC meeting re: draft Community Vision Plan, 4:00 - 5:30 in Plaza 1 Joint City P&Z/Council meeting, 5:00 in Council Chambers) re: draft Community Vision Plan, 5:30 - 7:00 in Council Chambers April 2: Final Community Vision Plan document ready for public distribution April 7: Community Vision Plan adoption by Council, BOCC & P&Zs, 4:00 in Council Chambers Attachments: Exhibit A: Combined Results from the Jan 27`" Community Vision meetings.
