MEMORANDUM OF INFORMATION TO: Mayor Ireland and City Council THRU: Jennifer Phelan, Community Development Deputy Director John Worcester, City Attorney FROM: Jessica Garrow, Long Range Planner COPIES TO: Steve Barwick, City Manager Chris Bendon, Community Development Director RE: ACES Specially Planned Area DATE OF MEMO: November 9, 2009 BACKGROUND: In 1997, City Council approved a rezoning and Specially Planned Area (SPA) designation for the Aspen Center for Environmental Studies (ACES). Any time an SPA is approved, an SPA Plat and Agreement must be filed within 180 days. The original Ordinance (Ordinance 6, Series of 1997, attached as Exhibit A) approving the SPA designation stated that `failure on the part of the applicant to record the.final development plan and SPA agreement within a period of one hundred and eighty (180) days following approval by city council shall render the plan invalid. Reconsideration of the./final development plan and SPA agreement by the commission and city council will be required before its acceptance and recording." Within the 180 days ACES requested a 180 day extension for recording the final plat and agreement (Resolution 82, Series of 1997). The Resolution included the same quoted language as the Ordinance. At the time, ACES did not record their plat or agreement, and it appears city staff did not follow up with them to do so. However, ACES has met all other conditions of the Ordinance, including construction of curb and gutter improvements and construction of affordable housing units. In 2006, City Council approved a long term lease agreement with ACES to build affordable housing and complete the Jenny Adair Wetlands project on the property. A COWOP was formed, but plans to build affordable housing on the site did not make it out of the COWOP. At that time, city and ACES staff realized the Plat and Agreement had never been filed and began working toward finalizing and recording the information. SUMMARY: Any time recordation of an SPA Agreement and Plat are required, staff conducts administrative review for compliance with original approvals, and ensures both meet formatting requirements. For the plat, this means ensuring it is drawn to a correct scale, includes a vicinity map, etc. Planning staff has met with the City Attorney to determine if it is necessary to return to the Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council for review of the final SPA Plat and !~'\ r^t .`w / err Agreement when all other conditions of the final approvals have been met, including construction. Despite the language in the Ordinance, Planning Staff and the City Attorney believe the recordation of the final SPA documents is a technical requirement that should be handled administratively. REQUEST OF COUNCIL: Staff requests that City Council inform Jessica Garrow by email (jessica. ag rrow@ci.aspen.co.us) or phone (429.2780) by Friday, November 13`~ if they would like the ACES SPA Agreement and Plat to be reviewed by P&Z and City Council If staff does not hear from Council by that date staff will process the final recordation of the SPA Agreement and Plat administratively.

PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION JANUARY 7, 1997 occupancy restriction be placed upon the ADU now for future development. Hoefer said that from a purely legal point of view, you cannot require them to add that condition, so the applicants are entitled to 8v forward with approval, if they so choose. Garton agreed with Hoefer, and shared Tygre's concern on re- development when the FAR bonus would be required. MOTION: Bob Blaich moved to approve the conditional use for an ADU at 820 Bonita Drive with the conditions as outlined in the "Community Development Department Memo dated December 10, 1996" furthermore, the applicant must provide proof of occupancy in that bandit unit prior to 1988. The applicant shall cease diversion of water to the pond from the ditch unless proof of water rights are provided to the City Water Department. Dave Johnston seconded. MOTION PASSED 4-2. Blaich, Johnston, Mooney and Tygre in favor, Buettow and Garton opposed. Hoefer explained the proof of occupancy should be an affidavit from a previous owner or tenant. Tygre asked for clarification on when the new ADU regulations would take hold. Clauson explained the only time the change would take effect would be when re-development occurred requesting the FAR bonus. Tygre commented that the recommendations based upon the conditions of the 12/10/96 Community Development Memo do not necessarily all apply and wondered if that would cause problems later on for the Board. Hoefer did not think that it would. Blaich pointed out that the 12/2/96 Engineering Memo from Ross Soderstrom requested the water rights issues be resolved and that wording should be added to the motion. Wolff added condition #9. from the Water Department. '!'he applicant shall cease diversion of water to the pond from the ditch unless proof of water rights are provided to the City Water Department. PUBLIC HEARING: ACES CONCEPTUAL/FINAL SPA, REZONING, TEXT AMENDMENT, GMQS EXEMPTION, SPECIAL REVIEW & CONDITIONAL USE Sara Garton opened the public hearing and David Hoefer, Assistant City Attorney, stated the Notice met the legal requirements but the list of adjacent property owners was not attached and requested the applicant submit the list at a later date. ... PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION JANUARY 7, 1997 He said the Board had jurisdiction to proceed. (For the record, the list was delivered to the Deputy City Clerk on 1/22!97 by Suzanne Wolff). Garton introduced Tom Cardamone and Al Dietch representing ACES. Suzanne Wolff, Staff, stated that the Trustees requested amendments for the property. She said they want to accommodate the uses which exist on the property and construct some housing for employees on the property. The Trustees want to annex into the City, rezone to the Academic Zone District and designate the property as SPA (Special Planned Area). Wolff said the application stated their philosophy "To design and build an educational model for environmentally sensitive employee housing recognizing the importance of enhancing the natural surroundings for both human and animal habitat. "She explained there are 5 affordable housing units incorporated into 2 structures: a straw bale structure with 2one-bedroom units and a "treehouse" structure using conventional green construction techniques will contain 3 studio units. The existing historic professor house is being retro- fitted for energy efficiency, and the surrounding land (the meadow) is also being rehabilitated. She noted 4 acres of the property is currently within the City and the reaming 21'/z acres are proposed to be annexed. (The annexation is separate from this application.) Wolff stated the reviews requested for specific approvals: rezone to academic, a consolidated conceptual,-Final SPA Development Plan, Text Amendment to allow "attached residential dwellings " as a Conditional Use in the Academic Zone District, Conditional Use Review for attached residential dwellings, GMQS Exemption for Affordable Housing and Special Review to establish the off-street parking requirement. Wolff noted that much of the criteria is redundant and the issues that come up are the consistency with the Aspen Area Community Plan and with the intent of the Academic Zone District they are creating affordable housing to maintain the work- force in our community (which also reduces automobile impacts). The Hallum Lake Nat~u•e Preserve (much cherished open space in town) will be maintained. Wolff said the structures will serve as a model for energy conservation. The existing uses are consistent with the intent, permitted and conditional uses in the Academic Zone District. The compatibility with the area neighborhood and surrounding uses will enhance that campus atmosphere. Wolff explained the units have been designed to have a minimal impact on the land as part of ACES philosophy. The new structures will be in an area where there are existing structures and parking area minimally visible from Hallum Lake. ACES is proposing to rehabilitate the meadow for open space. The Trustees restricted the footprints and square footage of the structures. The straw bale structure is limited ... PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION JANUARY 7, 1997 to an 800 sf footprint with 1,000 sf of floor area. The treehouse is limited to a 450 sf footprint with also 1,000 sf of floor area and will not exceed 28' in length. The treehouse is located directly on the property line with the Given Institute (the Given buildings are all located above this area). Wolff noted there is an informal trail there (not a dedicated one) and staff recommends moving the treehouse at least a couple of feet away from that property line for future use of that trail. Wolff explained the public facilities seemed to be adequate and Aspen Sanitation was reviewing the application. The Water Department waived water tap fees for affordable housing projects. There was no requirement for parking in the Academic Zone District, but code required 1 parking space per unit for a studio or one-bedroom unit. They show four spaces on the site plan but there would not be a problem providing one additional space plus they are creating additional spaces in the existing parking lot. Wolff said ACES will deed restrict the units to Category 2 Housing Authority Guidelines. Housing requested that the units be rented to other employees of the County if there were not enough ACES employees that would qualify for this housing under the deed restriction. She said that in order to be exempt from Growth Management the units have to be deed restricted. Steve Buettow asked if the overhead wires were intended to be put underground. Dietch stated Holy Cross provided transformers in the area and the lines will be removed and placed underground. Garton asked why the Academic Zone was chosen and not the Conservation Zone. Wolff said the existing education center is consistent with the Academic Zone. Stan Clauson, Planning Director, stated the Conversation Zone supports one dwelling unit per parcel which is not consistent with these small employee housing units. Clauson said the Academic Zone also supported the activities of ACES. Wolff stated the purpose of the Conservation Zone District: is [o provide areas of low density development to enhance public recreation, conserve natural resources, encourage the production of crops and animals, and to contain urban development. Garton commented that according to Mrs. Paepcke's Deed the property stays mostly natural and a preserve. She would hate to see more and more academic buildings creeping into the parcel. She said Paepcke's gift "Exhibit A" stipulates that only ACES employees and faculty can live in there. Garton asked the condition from Housing be removed because it goes against Mrs. Paepcke's Gift. s PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION JANUARY 7, 1997 Garton asked that Chuck Roth, Engineering, look at the request for sidewalks which would urbanize the area and does not need that "hard edge". Wolff stated the way the condition is worded, it is not required at this time, but leaves it open for the future. She also discussed this with Cindy Houben, to create a trail that would connect with the Rio Grande Trail or something to provide pedestrian access other than the street. Garton did not wanted the standard language "sidewalk" to be included in the conditions. Al Dietch had the same concerns. Tim Mooney asked the number of employees. Cardamone answered that over the course of a year as many as thirty, but twelve full time equivalents. He said 6 winter naturalists work the snowshoe and ski programs along with 4 educators working in the schools. Cardamone said the summer has about 12 interns (3 months) and professors coming and going (1 or more each week). Mooney asked if the occupancy would be long term or short term. Cardamone answered "yes" meaning the "straw bale" building would house the full-time program directors and professors would occupy the "professor house" in the summer and educators or naturalists in the winter. Cardamone noted much time was spent matching the long and short term housing needs to the buildings. Garton stated the numbers would benefit ACES needs to Council and for the Public to clearly see the need for this housing on the campus. Cardamone said the forest service now pays ACES with housing on a year round basis with 6 bedrooms for the winter and 3 in the summer. Mooney said the point that should be made is the mitigation of existing employee needs. Dietch explained, as past president of ACES for 12 years and a former staff member, tonight's public hearing is the culmination of meetings over the last 5 years. He said Mrs. Paepcke gave the entire twenty-five acres to ACES and this last 1'h acres was gifted in her will. They began planning while Mrs. Paepcke was still alive and after they received the last piece it took two more years of planning to get to this point. Dietch said the Trustees had the same concerns raised tonight and are determined to house as many of their people as possible on site. He noted ACES bought a 3 bedroom unit at Hunter Creek but the Trustees imposed very restrictive goals on the property. This is why the buildings are as small in footprints as possible and house as few people as possible. They want to devote the rest of the property for what it is intended to be a nature preserve. He noted the Trustees do not want to increase any more housing and the deed restriction in the will needed to remain. Dietch suggested adding condition #8 from the Community Development Memo: Prior to the issuance of any building permits, the applicants shall deed restrict the units to the Category 2 guideline and offered some suggestions for some of the conditions. Cardamone stated that they are not just a lot in town but ACES is a unique place. His concern was the placement by the Housing Authority alone therefore, the occupancy of units should be determined jointly (by ACES and the 9 .~ PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION JANUARY 7, 1997 Housing Authority) and in the event of a dispute the issue would be taken before City Council for resolution. Garton asked if the Board or City had the right to go against the intent of the "gift". She said from the deed (Exhibit A TO QUITCLAIM DEED, paragraph A) the housing is for employees and faculty of ACES. Hoefer said that could be resolved but if the Board did approve something that went against the Paepcke will, it could be rectified at a later date. Clauson said that the language could be taken out but Council does not have the role in any code book to resolve a dispute. Garton stated that it met GMQS. Wolff stated that it was a suggestion and not a requirement. Blaich asked where the employees were being housed now. Cardamone replied the rooms with the forest service, the "chicken coop" (which is inadequate), the professor's house and he and his family live on site. Blaich asked what will happen to the forest service housing. Cardamone answered the forest service has strict regulations about the housing. Al Beyer, Public, stated the forest service cutbacks caused the opening of that housing. Mooney thought they would want to house as many employees as possible on site rather than commuting. Garton commented that several approvals are being considered tonight. Buettow asked if there was a problem moving the building away from the property line. Al Beyer, Architect, stated the buildings are 5' from the property line. Garton said that condition #8 would probably be deleted and asked if there would be a problem with Category 2. Dietch stated that Category 2 would be fine. Cardamone asked about the curb and gutter language. He said the City had an independent Engineering survey of Puppy Smith done and included anon-paved pathway from the Rio Grande to ACES entry. Garton asked the word sidewalk be changed to walkway. Clauson said the sidewalk is only to the stone pillars and not past. Cardamone stated the non-urban walkway is the approach they want to take. Hoefer stated the walkway language would be okay. Clauson said much of the language is "boiler plate" and Wolff agreed after discussing with Chuck Roth, Engineering. Clauson stated the language of condition #4 should read sidewalk, curb and gutter or appropriate alternate facilities. Dietch said the understanding for the drainage mitigation plan was so the storm sewers were not over loaded by ACES property. He noted that the storm sewer runs through ACES property without a drain into Jenny Adair Pond. Dietch asked if a letter from an Engineer would mitigate the water nm-off from the buildings which will go into Hallum Lake. He said the expense of an Engineer to do a study would seem useless since the water would not go into that storm drain anyhow. Garton asked Clauson for suggestions on #5. Wolff read the applicant shall provide a letter from a registered Engineer that the property can absorb all io PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION JANUARY 7, 1997 additional drainage created by the new development without undue impact on the municipal storm sewer system. Fred Pierce, President of ACES, stated for the project to get through the gauntlet of the Trustees speaks of the merits of this project. Blaich asked the status of the little house and thought that it could be cleaned up with some character added to it. Dietch stated the house is occupied by a City electrician. Cardamone noted ACES had leased this house from the City for about 9 years but when the City needed emergency electric response, the City employee moved into this house. Dietch said that when the new Water Place employee housing is complete, this employee will be housed there. He said the way that property is now, detracts from ACES and the Rio Grande trail. MOTION: Jasmine Tygre moved to recommended approval of the ACES Conceptual/Final SPA development plan, rezoning to the Academic zone district, and text amendment and recommend approval of the conditional use review for attached residential units and special review for parking subject to the conditions in 01/07/97 Community Development Memo as amended in 01/07/97 Meeting with the addition of condition #12. All material representations made by the applicant in the application and during public hearings shall be adhered to and considered conditions of approval, unless otherwise amended. Bob Blaich seconded. ALL IN FAVOR, MOTION PASSED. PUBLIC HEARING: LAND USE CODE AMENDMENTS and CLARIFICATIONS Sara Garton opened the public hearing. David Hoefer, Assistant City Attorney, stated the proof of notification should be provided to the City Clerk's Office. Mary Lackner, Staff, commented that the 01/07/97 Memo identified the 14 Code Amendments. Lackner said most were explained in the memo and #14 was the only new amendment for outdoor lighting standards. Clauson explained this amendment does not effect street lighting but rather private homes shinning lights onto the outside of the home and into the landscape or river.

Due to the scope of the request, the application will be reviewed as a Final Design application. GROWTH MANAGEMENT REVIEW: Enclosing the two proposed outdoor seating areas will result in an increase of 386 square feet of >~ t net leasable commercial space. When the increase in net leasable area is greater than 250 square feet, the application cannot meet the qualifications for administrative review. This application falls under the requirements of Code Section 26.470.080 -Major Planning and Zoning Commission Applications (1) Expansion or New Commercial Development. If approved, this application will require employee generation mitigation pursuant to Code Section 26.470.100, SPECIALLY PLANNED AREA REVIEW: The proposed amendment to the Planned Unit Development is found to be consistent with the approved final development plan by staff. This qualifies the proposed project for approval, approval with conditions or denial by the Planning and Zoning Commission at a public hearing. The change proposed by the applicant is relatively minor. During the application process when the Dancing Bear PUD was created, concerns were focused on the massing and height of the building. The minutes from those meetings are included as Exhibit C. The proposed enclosure will be consistent with the original approvals. A Floor Area Ratio of 2.98:1 was approved in the final development approval.

Any time an SPA is approved, an SPA Plat and Agreement must be filed within 180 days. The original Ordinance (Ordinance 6, Series of 1997, attached as Exhibit A) approving the SPA designation stated that `failure on the part of the applicant to record the final development plan and SPA agreement within a period of one hundred and eighty (180) days,following approval by city council shall render the plan invalid. Reconsideration of the.rnal development plan and SPA agreement by the commission and city council will be required before its acceptance and recording." Within the 180 days ACES requested a 180 day extension for recording the final plat and agreement (Resolution 82, Series of 1997). The Resolution included the same quoted language as the Ordinance. At the time, ACES did not record their plat or agreement, and it appears city staff did not follow up with them to do so. However, ACES has met all other conditions of the Ordinance, including construction of curb and gutter improvements and construction of affordable housing units. In 2006, City Council approved a long term lease agreement with ACES to build affordable housing and complete the Jenny Adair Wetlands project on the property. A COWOP was formed, but plans to build affordable housing on the site did not make it out of the COWOP. At that time, city and ACES staff realized the Plat and Agreement had never been filed and began working toward finalizing and recording the information. SUMMARY: Any time recordation of an SPA Agreement and Plat are required, staff conducts administrative review for compliance with original approvals, and ensures both meet formatting requirements. For the plat, this means ensuring it is drawn to a correct scale, includes a vicinity map, etc. Planning staff has met with the City Attorney to determine if it is necessary to return to the Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council for review of the final SPA Plat and n ~ ~ ..: Agreement when all other conditions of the final approvals have been met, including construction. Despite the language in the Ordinance, Planning Staff and the City Attorney believe the recordation of the final SPA documents is a technical requirement that should be handled administratively. REQUEST OF COUNCIL: Staff requests that City Council inform Jessica Garrow by email (jessica. ag rrownci.aspen.co.us) or phone (429.2780) by Friday, November 13`~ if they would like the ACES SPA Agreement and Plat to be reviewed by P&Z and City Council. If staff does not hear from Council by that date staff will process the final recordation of the SPA Agreement and Plat administratively.

Rezoning to the Academic zone district (A Zone); Approval of special review uses within the A zone district; 4. Conceptual SPA approval; and Exemption from the GMQS process for affordable housing. Included is aPre-application Sheet from the Community Development Office that was prepared by Leslie Lamont in connection with aPre-Application Conference. BACKGROUND: Over the last several years ACES has been working to identify its current and future role in the Community. Like Many non-profits we are fortunate to be located in such a giving and extremely beautiful community. We also understand the goals of the Aspen Area Community Plan (AACP) relative to housing. Thus, when considering our "Master Plan " for the 25 acre ACES site , we have determined that we should be located within the City Limits; primarily to take advantage of the Academic zone district and because we are using and propose to continue to use City services such as water. In order to build our on- site affordable housing we propose to annex into the City, rezone to academic and gain approval for a special review use within the Academic zone district. Tlie following more Billy describes the philosophy of the trustees which lead to this application: To design and build an educational model for environmentally sensitive employee housing recognizing the importance of enhancing the natural surroundings for both human and anima] habitat (the importance of the rehabilitation of the land as an integral part of the design plan). To achieve this we developed a trilogy and one guiding formula. Renovation of the existing professor house -Goal: To make it energy efficient while preserving its historic character. rte, ....- 3. Straw bale structure using natural materials requiring minimal cost, labor and visual impact-a finished product suitable as a model to others in the valley. ~. A structure using state of the art environmentally sensitive products available commercially to serve as a model for architects and builders. 4. +l -Rehabilitation of land that had been used for parking. To be planted with natural vegetation to recognize habitat as well as habitat important to small animals and humans. GOAL: To minimize the visual impact of human habitation on the land-while improving animal and plant habitat. ANNC-\ATTON: ACES is proceeding on a parallel tract with an annexation request. REZONTNG (,AMENDML-NT TO THE OFFICIAL ZONE DISTRICT MAP): The following is a response to Section 26.92.020 of the City Land Use Code: 26.92.020 Standards of Review In reviewing an amendment to the text of this title or an amendment to the official zone district map, the City Council and the Commission shall consider: A. `rVhether the proposed amendment is in conflict with any applicable portions of this title. RESPONSE: To the best of our knowledge, this proposed amendment is not in conflict with any applicable portions of this title. B. Whether the proposed amendment is consistent with all elements of the Aspen .Area Comprehensive Plan. ~ . RESPONSE: The proposal will provide affordable housing within the Aspen 1\~fetro area for an existing non profit organization. In addition the proposal maintains open space that is valued by the community in the heart of town. The proposal attempts to assist the community goals, of taking traffic off of Highway S3 and maintaining the work force within the community. .~ , ~e~ ~._. a ,J insert exact info from the AACP C. Whether the proposed amendment is compatible with surrounding zone districts and land uses, considering existing land use and neighborhood characteristics. RESPONSE: The proposal is consisted with the surrounding neighborhoods and zoning. The parcel is boarded by the Roaring for River, the Rio Grand trail, the City of Aspen electric sub station, the City owned red brick school, the Given Institute, and the West End neighborhood D. The effect of the proposed amendment on traffic generation and road safety. RESPONSE: With respect to the Community at large we feel that we are supporting the goals to take traffic off of highway 82. Specifically, we plan to provide housing for no more than 1 1 individuals. Currently that consist of 9 adults and 3 children (the directors). However, it is conceivable in the maximum situation that 11 people of driving age could live on the property. The following explains the traffic which is most likely to be generated on the streets of Aspen and specifically Puppy Smith street. The City uses an equation of 9.5 trips/day reduced by mass transit, other service, location and working on site. ACES is in close proximity to all necessary services such as a Post Office, grocery stores and mass transit. A survey done on existing on-site residents indicate less than eight (8) one- way vehicle trips per week (for five adults). E. \Vhether and the extent to which the proposed amendment would result in cleinands on public facilities, and whether and the extent to which the proposed amendment would exceed the capacity of such public facilities, including but not limited to transportation facilities, sewa;e facilities, water supply, parks, drainage, schools and emergency medical facilities. RESPONSE: The proposal can be served by existing utilities. Please see attached letters from the ACSD and the City of Aspen Water dept. Other facilities are not anticipated to be overburden by this proposal. F. \~~hether and the extent to which the proposed amendment would result in significantly adverse impacts on the natural environment. RESPONSE: No adverse impacts are anticipated with this proposal. As described in our introduction, we are using the most energy efficient building technologies that can be used as examples to others in the Community. In addition, we will be enhancing the existing r-~ natural ~e~=etation and habitat. ?, rehab program for the property is attached which will mainly focus on bird habitat. Removal of two small structures which are not feasible to renovate. Recycle materials. G. \~'hether the proposed amendment is consistent and compatible with the community character in the City of Aspen. RESPONSE: We believe that the low scale and minimal square footage of these structures will help to maintain the character of the community. Additionally, our decision to maintain the professor house in its current location will help to explain the history of the site(once a i2 house subdivision). Our approval from the HPC (this parcel is already within the City limits), provides for only minor modifications to the professor house. H. \Vhether there have been changed conditions affecting the subject parcel or the surrotmding neighborhood which support the proposed amendment. RESPONSE: The need for affordable housing within the entire community, and specifically for ACES employees, has contributed to the decision for the ACES trustees to support this change to the site. I. \\~liether the proposed amendment would be in conflict with the public interest, and is in harmony with the purpose and intent of this title (Code 1971 SS 7-1102). RESPONSE: \>/e do not believe that this proposal is in conflict with the public interest and in fact adds to the harmony of the community.

Section 26.25."'30 E. I notes that residential uses require special review pursuant to Chapter 26.64. The following is a response to that section of the City Land Use Code. 2G.G4.040 (A) Dimensional Requirements Wheneeer the dimensional requirements of a proposed development are subject to special review, the development application shall only be approved if the following conditions are met: The mass, height, density, configuration, amount of open space, landscaping and setbacks of the proposed development are designed in a manner which is compatible with or enhances the character of surrounding land uses and is consistent with the purposes of the underlying zone district. 6 v _. The applicant demonstrates that the proposed development will not have adverse impacts on surrounding uses or will mitigate those impacts, including, but not limited to, the effects of shading, excess traffic, availability of parking in the neighborhood or blocking of a designated view plane. 3. For the reduction of required open space in the Commercial Core zone district only, the applicant demonstrates that the provision of less than the required amount of open space on-site will be more consistent with the character of surrounding land uses than would be the provision of open space according to the standard. As general guidelines, the applicant shall take into account the following. It may be appropriate to have open space on the site when the building is located on a street corner, or the open space can be linked to neighboring Pedestrian amenities, or the open space provides relief intended to maintain the prominence of an adjacent historic landmark, or the open space is intended for a particular functional purpose, such as dining or the protection of an existing tree. It maybe inappropriate to have open space on the site when other buildings along the street front are built to the property line, especially along public malls, or when the open space is configured in such a manner as to serve no public purpose. \Vhen the commission determines opens space is inappropriate on the site, it may reduce or waive the requirement if the applicant shall make a payment-in-lieu according to the following formula: .Appraised value of the unimproved land, multiplied by the percentage of the site required to be open space which is to be developed equals value of payment. The appraised value of the property shall be determined by the submission of a current appraisal performed by a qualified professional real estate appraiser. The payment-in-lieu of open space shall be due and payable at the time of issuance of a building permit. All funds collected shall be Transferred by the building inspector to the finance director, for deposit in a separate interest bearing account. Monies in the account shall be used solely for the purpose or development of land for open space, pedestrian or recreational purposes within or adjacent to the Commercial Code zone district. 7 Fees collected pursuant to this section may be returned to the then present owner of property for which a fee was paid, including any interest earned, if the fees have not been spent within seven (7) years from the date fees were paid, unless the Council shall have earmarked the funds for expenditure on a specific project, in which case the Council may extend the time period by up to three (3) more years. To obtain a refund the present owner must submit a petition to the financial director within one (1) year following the end of the seventh (7th) year from the date payment was received. For the purpose of this section, payments collected shall be deemed spent on the basis of the first payment due to non-commencement of construction, may be refimded if a petition for refund is submitted to the finance director within three {3) months of the date of the cancellation of the building permit. .All petitions shall be accompanied by a notarized, sworn statement that the petition is the current owner of the property and by a copy of the dated receipt issued for payment of the fee. \\'hen the HPC approves the on-site relocation of an Historic Landmark into required open space, such that the amount of open space on-site is reduced below that required by this Code, the requirements of this section shall he waived. -4. For the Residential/Multi Family (R/A~F) zone district only, increases in external floor area shall only be permitted on sites subject to the requirements of Chapter 26.48, Replacement Housing Program. To obtain - the increase, the applicant shall demonstrate a minimum oft/3rds of the additional floor area allowed is used to increase the size of the affordable housing units beyond the minimum size standards of the City's housing designee and the development complies with the standards of Section 26.64.040(A)(1)ard (2). RESPONSE: The houses are minimal in size and reflect to promote the philosophy of ACES. Studio units are approximately 350 s.f. and the one bedroom units are apprn~imaiely 600 s.f. in the two new strictures. SECT'ON 2(.64.040(B) Off-street Parking Requirements. When the off-street parking requirements of a proposed development are subject to establishment and/or mitigation ~ is a payment-in-lieu by special review, the development application shall only be approved if the following conditions are met. In all zone districts where the off-street parking requirements are subject to established and/or mitigation by special review, the applicant shall demonstrate that 8 rr °' `+, .,,, . i the parking needs of the residents, customers, guests and employees of the project have been met, taking into account potential uses of the parcel, the projected u a1Tic generation of the project, the projected impacts onto the on-street parking of the neighborhood, its proximity to mass transit routes and the downtown area, and amp special sen~ices, such as vans, provided for residents, guests and employees. in determining whether to accept the mitigation or whether to require that the parking be provided on-site, the commission shall take into consideration the practical ability of the applicant to place parking on-site, whether the parking needs of the development have been adequately met on-site and whether the City has plans for a parking facility which would better meet the needs of the c!evelopinent and the community than would location of the parking on-site. ^_. In all zone districts, where the off=street parking requirement may be provided via a payment in lieu, the applicant shall make cone-time only payment to the City, in the amount ofFifreen Thousand Dollars ($15,000.00) per space. Approval of the payment-in-lieu shall be at the option of the commission.

I understand that Virginia Newton from ACES visited with you last year, and she was tasked with locating copies of the SPA maps that should have been recorded at some point following the 1997 ACES SPA approval ordinance (Ordinance No. 6, Series of 1997). It is my understanding from Virginia that neither the Community Development office nor the Building Department have much in the way of file materials on this matter, although it is Tom Cardamone's recollection that all these materials were delivered to the appropriate City officials at or about the time building permits were issued and work commenced on the Strawbale House and the Treehouse (ACES's two on site employee housing buildings that were constructed pursuant to Ordinance 6, Series of 1997). To make a long story short, I now have collected from different sources copies of the SPA map, which includes Alpine Survey's legal description, certificates and signature blocks, a scaled development plan, an improvement survey and existing conditions, as well as AI Beyer Design, Inc.'s Staff Housing Site Plan, Strawbale House elevations and Treehouse Elevations. When it's convenient for you, I'd like to visit with you to discuss how best to properly formalize the records for this matter. r^ .... Thanks, Tom Todd Thomas ].
