PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION: On October 11, 2011, Council voted unanimously to approve the City's contract with Dan's Water Well and Pump Services, Inc., the drilling contractor for the geothermal test well project. BACKGROUND: In 2008, a preliminary feasibility study was conducted by Rocky Mountain Water Consulting, LLC, which evaluated Aspen's geothermal potential. Based on this study, staff believes temperatures in the 90 -100- degree range are likely, which would be sufficient for heating buildings. This could represent an abundant, carbon -free source of energy which would help reduce Aspen's vulnerability to the volatile cost of natural gas. To confirm this geothermal potential, two or three test wells need to be drilled in the Aspen area to collect water temperatures and composition and pressure data. In the fall of 2011, Dan's Water Well and Pump Services, Inc. was contracted to drill the first test well in the gravel parking lot of Prockter Open Space to explore geothermal energy potential. Geothermal heat is believed to be approximately 1,000 feet below ground, however the drillers reached 1,003 feet without detecting hot water and work was temporarily suspended on December 12` out of respect for neighbors, to avoid impacting vacation rentals and to allow for more favorable weather conditions (freezing temperatures contributed to project delays). Throughout the project, a thorough outreach program was used to increase public awareness, provide transparency, and encourage public input. In July, 2011, every property owner with a home within 350 feet of the project site was notified about the project by mail and invited to a neighborhood barbeque, where they could ask questions and share concerns. A total of 12 neighbors attended the barbeque. Doorhangers with details of the project and staff contact information were also hand delivered to neighbors located directly next to the project site. A website (www.aspengeothermal.com) was created to provide basic information on geothermal Page 1 of 3 energy and project details and updates. This web address has been made widely available to neighbors and the public to provide easy access to information and opportunities for public input and questions. Educational signage was, and again will be, posted at the project site to inform neighbors and passers -by about what the project is designed to accomplish. Staff has sent several project updates and changes via mail to neighbors throughout the project. FINANCIALBUDGET IMPACTS: The amount of the City's contract with the driller is $172,850, with an estimate for an additional $68/foot for up to 1,500 total feet. To date, $101,175 of this contract has been paid to the contractor for Work completed. Staff is in discussions with Dan's Water Well and Pump Services, Inc. to determine details of project completion. If the contract total increases by 25 percent or more, which is not anticipated, Council approval will be required. DISCUSSION: Consultants for the project believe the geothermal resource is within an additional 500 feet. Staff plans to proceed with drilling in early April, in hopes that hot water can be reached and the test well can be completed. This timing will minimize impacts on area neighbors and Herron park users. On February 16 the City's Open Space and Trails Board voted unanimously to support continuation of the project during this time, with the stipulation that work be completed no later than Memorial Day, May 28, 2012. Staff believes this is more than enough time to complete the remaining work. During Phase II of the project, site conditions will be essentially the same as Phase I, with a footprint of approximately 3,500 square feet. As before, parking at Prockter Open Space will be unavailable during the course of the project and a portion of Queen Street will be blocked off, with access for residents and emergency vehicles maintained. Upon completion, the test well project will have a flat, locking lid, similar to a manhole lid. At no point will this test well be converted into a production well. Project work will occur during City- sanctioned construction hours (8am to 7pm Monday- Friday and 9am to 5pm on Saturday). Noise from the project will comply with the City's noise construction ordinance (80 decibels). Noise was regularly checked during the fall drilling (both by contractors and City staff) and remained within the limit. No construction complaints were received during Phase I of the project. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS: Phase II of the geothermal test well project will have minimal environmental impacts. As with Phase I of the project, noise and air emissions will be minimized; drill cuttings will be disposed of in a safe, City- approved manner; and water quality and river health will be protected. If Aspen's exploration of geothermal potential reveals resources sufficient to replace natural gas in some of our community's residential or commercial heating, the use of this resource would reduce greenhouse gas and other harmful emissions significantly. It would also reduce our community's dependence on a fossil fuel with substantial environmental impacts in our region and beyond. If Aspen is able to tap into this clean, abundant resource for heating, it could provide a model for other mountain communities with similar resources. RECOMMENDED ACTION: No action is requested of Council at this time. Page 2 of 3 4 1 97t a Aspen FSP -ABR, LLC c/o Steven R. Stunda 602 North Fourth Street Aspen, Colorado 81611 February 27, 2012 Aspen City Council 130 South Galena Street Aspen, Colorado 81611 Re: Your Little Annie's Decision and the Viability of Certificates of Affordable Housing Credit Program Gentlemen: As you are well aware we spent almost a year and many thousands of dollars seeking approval to redevelop the site of the Boomerang Lodge as affordable housing. After you granted approval for that project last July, a few of the neighbors filed a lawsuit against you and us seeking to overturn your decision. A few weeks ago our lawyers finished briefing the neighbor's appeal. That also cost us many thousands of dollars. Your approval of the Boomerang Lodge Affordable Housing Project included approval for Certificates of Affordable Housing Credit. The Certificates program was intended to give private developers like us an incentive to create housing for local workers without the need for massive subsidies from the City. Our investment in affordable housing in Aspen will be worthwhile only if the Certificates have value. We accepted the offer implicit in the Certificates program based on our understanding that the City would not undermine their worth. Your recent actions have done precisely that. I was away for much of the past month or so helping to care for a friend in Florida. When I returned from my trip, I Learned that you had compromised the affordable housing requirement due in connection with the proposed development of the Little Annie's and Benton buildings on East Hyman Avenue. While I applaud your efforts to avoid conflict in connection with the Little Annie's proposal, I strongly object to the compromise of this project's affordable housing mitigation requirement. By reducing the requirement from over 29 to nine FTE's with a million dollar settlement fee for those nine FTE's, you have severely damaged the market we might have had for Affordable Housing Certificates. Your decision equates to a cost per FTE of $139,000. That pricing is absurd and is substantially less that it would cost to build an equivalent unit in Aspen, even at today's lower building costs. The City and County have been discussing a revision of the cash -in -lieu "price" for over a year. The APCHA has been directed to distribute a "request for proposal" to consultants to help it Aspen City Council February 27, 2012 Page 2 establish a realistic cash -in -lieu figure. The aim of the REP is to create a cash -in -lieu payment which realistically reflects actual building costs for affordable housing. You should not have compromised the affordable housing requirements for the Little Annie's project until the APCHA had finished its study. Your concessions to the Little Annie's owner have eliminated 20 housing units for qualified locals and have cost taxpayers a great deal of money. It will cost all of us much more than $139,000 per FTE to provide those 20 people housing within the City. Of immediate importance to us, however, is the degree to which your actions have undermined the Certificates program and our ability to recoup the substantial cost of building affordable housing as approved for the Boomerang Lodge. Your compromise with the Little Annie's owner has caused us real economic harm. We hope that you modify your resolution of that proposal to rectify and correct these issues. Sincerely, ASPEN FSP- BR, LLC By: 40/��ii{HC g S ven R. Stunda V a MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor and Council FROM : Kathryn Koch, City Clerk DATE: February 21, 2012 RE: Spring Jam Core Party SUMMARY: Aspen Skiing Company has requested a special event permit for the Spring Jam Core Party for a Concert on the Cooper and Galena mall, Friday, March 16` - 7 to 1 p.m. This will be the ninth year of a Spring Jam Core Party in that location. The special event committee reviewed this application and recommends approval. The approvals requested from Council are: • approve or disapprove the request for noise to 11 p.m., which is beyond allowed time of 9 p.m. • the request to close Cooper and Galena at 4 p.m. DISCUSSION: The applicants delivered letters to every business and residence fronting each venue. The letter for the Spring Jam concert is attached as it thoroughly outlines the event and related requests. The street closures will be the same as last year. Cooper and Galena streets will not be closed until 4 p.m. The first year the streets were closed for the entire day. There were requests from merchants asking the city not to approve street closures for the entire day. Staff and the applicants worked out a plan that allows the parking on Galena and Cooper Avenue to be left open until 4 p.m. on the 16 The Aspen Skiing Company will be responsible for signing the two blocks with fluorescent signs alerting people that the streets will be closed after 4 p.m. The Skiing Company will have volunteers circulating and letting people know they must move their car by 4 p.m. The Skiing Company will work with the parking and police departments to try and locate owners of any cars left in the venue. There will be no tows unless a vehicle is left in front of the stage area. This approach has worked well in the past 6 years. Section 18.04.050(a)(3) allowed noises states (3) Special Events or other events to which the public is invited with the following conditions: (a) The maximum decibel level at the perimeter of the event does not exceed 100 decibels; and (b) Amplified noise shall be created only between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m.; and (c) Neighbors within two hundred fifty (250) feet of the site of the proposed sound source are notified. Such notification must be in writing and be done seven (7) days prior to the starting time of the event; and (d) The arrangement of loud speakers or the sound instruments must be such that it minimizes the disturbance to others resulting from the position or orientation of the speakers or from atmospherically or geographically caused dispersal of sound beyond the property lines. This event is open to the public and is free. The Special Event Committee reviewed the noise variance request and recommends Council approve. C. J. Oliver, environmental health department, requested a definitive schedule on sound checks. Council has final review authority on proposed concert because of the proposed hours until 11 p.m. and that it is located in the middle of the commercial core. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: There may be some overtime costs to both the police department and the parking department. The parking department will charge for parking spaces used by this event. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends Council support this event. The venue has worked in the past; it is open to the public. It is during Spring Jam and meets the Ski Company's goal of adding value to the guest's experience and focuses on Aspen, the world's premier resort community. ALTERNATIVES: The alternative is not to approve the concert. The Skiing Company states they "hope to continue creating exceptional spectator venues which establish Aspen/Snowmass as a cutting edge leader in resort activities ". We did not discuss alternative locations. PROPOSED MOTION: If Council adopts the consent calendar, they are approving the Core • Party Friday March 16 from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m. located at Cooper and Galena and also to allow Cooper and Galena to be closed after 4 p.m. CITY MANAGER COMMENTS: 4 Orril ( Pi "' Attachments: 1.

REQUEST OF COUNCIL: Staff requests a contract award to Mueller Construction Services, Inc. in the Amount of $549,994.00 for the installation of a new pump station, and necessary pipeline construction/interconnection. p . PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION: City Council approved a water service agreement dated November 14, 1983, to provide extraterritorial water service to Music Associates of Aspen (MAA), and a second agreement dated March 14, 1994, to provide water service to MAA's lessee, Aspen Country Day School. A third water service agreement was approved through Ordinance No. 23 series of 2011, to provide fire flows to the campus so that they may begin vertical construction. BACKGROUND: The MAA campus comprises almost 39 acres, and presently receives City water service pursuant to the 1983 Water Service Agreement. In addition, MAA is party to a long -term lease agreement with Aspen Country Day School ( "ACDS ") and water service is provided to ACDS pursuant to a second water service agreement dating from 1994. MAA is planning a reconstruction and expansion of its facilities and in 2008 obtained Pitkin County's approval of a Master Plan for this project. Among other things, the construction contemplated by the Master Plan requires construction and installation of new mains, service lines and other water system infrastructure, including upgrades to the City's Water Treatment Plant and an emergency fire pump connection to the City's Highlands Tank system. The costs of all demolition, reconstruction, upgrades and improvements will be borne by MAA. DISCUSSION: City Council has authorized the water service agreement, and with Staff direction MAA has developed and approved an acceptable pump station design, and interconnect necessary to provide fire flows. All costs for design and permitting have been borne solely by MAA to date. The City is managing this contract as the Pump Station is located on City property and we will be the ultimate operator of the Pump Station. FINANCIAL/BUDGET IMPACTS: The City has negligible costs in construction of this project as MAA is paying for all construction costs and the City's roleis limited to project management services. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS/PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS: The environmental impacts of the MAA project were considered in the County master planning process, to which the City provided input. The Community Development Department will be asked for input and any permits that may be required for the emergency fire pump station, which will belong to the City and will be constructed on City property. RECOMMENDED ACTION: City Staff recommends that Council enact Ordinance No. (Series of 2012), authorizing the Contract for Construction in the form attached to the proposed ordinance. ALTERNATIVES: 1. Alternative Source of Supply for MAA. If MAA were to develop an alternative or supplemental supply of treated water, the source would likely be wells tributary to Castle Creek, with an augmentation plan. Because the City is already providing a certain level of water service to MAA pursuant to the 1983 Water Service Agreement, and to ACDS pursuant to the 1994 water service agreement, there is a risk of cross - contamination with the City's treated water system, if the City continues to provide treated water under these agreements while MAA provides supplemental treated water service from an alternative source. Furthermore, in staffs experience, well supplies are often unreliable, and well users frequently seek City water service as a result. A carefully prepared comprehensive water service agreement is preferable to an agreement that may be made quickly in response to a health or emergency situation that may arise with a failing well system. PROPOSED MOTION: I move that C-,no r l7) the Contract for construction for Aspen Music School Pump Station.

SUMMARY: Staff is planning the implementation of the next phase of recycling and trash facilities available throughout the City of Aspen. Staff is requesting City Council approve a contract in the amount of $30,884.00 for the purchase of 21 receptacles, including nine co- mingled recycling cans, five newspaper /magazine recycling cans and seven trash cans,. (Attachment A) PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION: During the 2012 Parks and Open Space Budget approval process, City Council directed staff to focus on increasing the number of recycling/trash facilities available for public use. City Council appropriated $80,000 phased over two years (2012 and 2013) to accomplish these goals. BACKGROUND: In 1999, the City of Aspen Downtown Enhancement Pedestrian Plan (DEPP) was approved and constructed. The improvements included the installation of six Victor Stanley SD -42 trash receptacles. Starting in 2001, the City Parks Department began installing this model trash can in several critical locations throughout the pedestrian mall. The can has proven successful because it is user friendly and easily maintained. In 2010, with support from City Council staff launched a pilot program, adding an SD -42 recycling can to the existing trash 1 cans. The pilot program monitored the success of recycling in an attempt to determine the best way to improve the City's recycling efforts. Staff from the Environmental Health Department, Parks Department and a member of City Council formed the small task force to determine locations and develop the monitoring program. Staff installed recycling for glass, aluminum, plastic and newspaper /magzine. (Attachment B) The overall goal was to increase the City's ability to capture and divert recyclables from the regular trash. In order to accomplish this, the new cans were painted and labeled so that each could easily be identified for its appropriate use. Staff monitored the success of the program and determined that the new style of receptacle was making it easier for people to recycle. Staff installed a few more recycling and trash facilities in 2011. Due to the success of the trash and recycling standard, City Council requested Staff continue with the installation of the recycling/trash stations. During the 2012 budgeting process, City Council directed the Parks and Environmental Health Departments to continue with replacement. In November 2011, City Council budgeted $40,000 in 2012 and 2013. The $40,000 dollar budget includes the purchase, shipping and installation of the news cans. DISCUSSION: Staff is planning on implementing the next phase of the new recycling and trash facilities throughout the City of Aspen. In 2012, Staff is planning on adding nine co- mingled recycling cans, five newspaper/ magazine recycling cans and seven trash cans. Adding these new cans will provide the public with a total of 47 cans for recycling and trash. Staff will plan on implementing another round in 2013. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: The City has received a contract in the amount of $30,884.00 for the purchase of 21 receptacles. The Parks and Open Space Fund has budgeted $40,000 in 2012. The remaining $9,116.00 is budgeted for the installation of the trash cans. (Attachment C) ENVIRONMENTAL IMPLICATIONS: Trash and recycling programs are among the most visible of all the actions a town can take to be sustainable. In the past, the City received a number of complaints from visitors and citizens regarding Aspen's lack of public recycling receptacles. The new recycle bins show the public that Aspen is committed to protecting the environment. By providing bins for comingled recycling and newspaper /magazine recycling, the City is preventing these items from going to the landfill and is fostering environmental stewardship behavior that locals and visitors are likely to continue at home and in the workplace, further reducing waste in the Roaring Fork Valley. RECOMMENDATION: Staff is requesting City Council approve a contract in the amount of $30,884.00 for the purchase of 21 receptacles. The purchase will acquire nine co- mingled recycling cans, five newspaper recycling cans and seven trash cans. ALTERNATIVES: The alternative is to continue use of the existing trash can facilities and not implement the program at this time.

MEETING DATE: February 27, 2012. APPLICANT /OWNER: PFG Aspenwalk, LLC (404 Park STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Avenue) and Aspen Pitkin County Staff recommends approval of Final PUD Housing Authority (414 Park Circle) Subdivision, and a Vesting period of five years. REPRESENTATIVE: SUMMARY: Stan Clauson, Stan Clauson Associates The Applicant requests City Council approval of Subdivision and Final PUD.

The architecture has been redesigned twice through Final PUD review and most recently the floor area of the free market residential component has been reduced. After the October 24, 2011 hearing, a new architecture firm was hired, Cottle Carr Yaw Architects Ltd. (CCY) to address Council's architectural concerns. Changes to the architecture were discussed at length during the January 23 hearing. In addition to the new architect of record and proposed new architecture, Pitkin County District Court appointed Cordes & Company to be the receiver of PFG AspenWalk's assets. The appointment of a receiver has allowed the project to move forward with more significant changes to the architecture in response to Council and the neighbor's concerns. In addition to more financial resources the overall future of the project is much more certain since the entitlements, if the project is approved, will ultimately be sold to a presumably more financially viable developer. The applicant discussed the role and intent of the receiver during the January 23` Council meeting and the City Attorney's office provided a separate memo to Council regarding financial and ownership aspects of the project. Throughout Final PUD review of the project Council has expressed concern about the compatibility of the proposed architecture with the existing eclectic neighborhood. The perceived mass of the building and the inability to separately distinguish the three proposed buildings were identified by Council and the Midland Park neighbors as issues that needed further development. On January 23` Council seemed generally positive about the new style of architecture proposed by CCY, but remained concerned about the size of the free market component of the project and the mass of the buildings. Floor area reduction: Since January, the applicant has reduced the amount of floor area allotted to the free market residential component by 2,176 sq. ft. of floor area. The density of the free market component is unchanged — 12 free market units are proposed. The square footage was reduced by allowing a greater setback of the middle free market building facing Midland Park and increasing the space between the two free market buildings by about 6 feet. The affordable housing building is unchanged. With the reduction in square footage, the free market units are an average size of 2,124 sq. ft. as opposed to the previous proposal that had an average of 2,300 sq. ft per unit. The total floor area of the project has been reduced from 1.24:1 (40,734.5 sq. ft.) to about 1.18:1 (38,558.2 sq. ft.), which is about a 5.4% reduction. The Residential Multi- Family zone district allows a 1.25:1 (40,967.5 sq. ft.) FAR and a free market residential unit size cap of 2,500 sq. ft. of net livable area. Addition of gathering space: During the January 23` meeting, Councilman Skadron addressed the loss of the existing open lawn area currently located between 404 and 414 Park and its impact on neighborhood character. In response to this concern, the applicant proposes a lawn area at the King St. terminus of the property to serve as a gathering place. A seating area and Aspen Walk — 404 Park Cir. & 414 Park Ave. City Council — Staff Memo 2/27/2012 Page 2 of 9 planter box are proposed in front of the free market buildings and an open lawn located in the right of way along Park Avenue is proposed. Engineering and the Parks Departments have reviewed the location and are supportive of the proposal. A possible future realignment of the Park Avenue and Park Circle intersection may alter a portion of the proposed lawn area located in the right of way. Architectural changes: Since the January 23" meeting, the architect has removed the glass tower feature from the comer of the free market building and replaced it with a horizontal element to reduce the perceived mass of the building. In addition to an actual reduction of floor area, materials changes and more horizontal elements have been added to de- emphasize the mass of the building. Staff is supportive of the architectural changes. The reduction in floor area increases the space between the free market buildings, provides more relief to Midland Park, and helps the project integrate into the neighborhood. The ability to design a project that architecturally reads as three separate buildings while maintaining a cohesive architectural vocabulary is challenging and can result in a hodgepodge development or in an interesting and appealing addition to the streetscape. In this case it is the later. Staff finds that the proposed project is successful in enhancing existing neighborhood characteristics and developing an architectural vocabulary that may be the foundation for future improvements in the neighborhood. Smuggler Mountain Apartments Displaced Residents: As presented on January 23' APCHA has developed an agreement with the displaced tenants from Smuggler Mountain Apartments that was attached to the memo dated January 23, 2012 as Exhibit Z.6. The agreement outlines the ownership and rental options and process for qualified tenants. Section 8 of the draft Ordinance addresses the displaced residents and references the applicant's commitment to the agreement. HOA configuration: The HOA language presented on October 24, 2011 remains unchanged with the exception that the reference to "community workforce housing" has been changed to "affordable housing." PROJECT SUMMARY: Existing Conditions: The Applicants, Aspen Walk, LLC and the Aspen Pitkin County Housing Authority (APCHA) have requested approval to demolish existing buildings located at 404 Park Avenue (Lot 3, Sunny Park Subdivision) and 414 Park Circle (Lot 5, Sunny Park Subdivision). 404 Park Avenue is a 17,550 sq. ft. lot that contains 14 free - market residential multi - family dwelling units in one building. 414 Park Circle is a 15,224 sq. ft. lot containing 11 deed restricted residential multi- family affordable housing units in one building. Combined both lots contain 32,774 square feet of land, 17,665 sq. ft. of floor area and 25 dwelling units. In September of 2010 the applicant restudied the architecture and reduced unit numbers for both the free market and affordable housing components. A total of 26 dwelling units — 12 free market and 14 affordable housing - are proposed. In February 2012 the applicant reduced the Aspen Walk — 404 Park Cir. & 414 Park Ave. City Council — Staff Memo 2/27/2012 Page 3 of 9 overall floor area to 38,558 square feet or about 1.18:1 FAR. The project meets the underlying Residential Multi - family Zone District requirements with the exception of the technical height variation above the parking ramp entrance, as outlined in Table 1. The proposed dimensional requirements are noted below in Table 1. The proposal meets the underlying RMF zone district with the exception of height.

Visual interest, engagement of pedestrian movement, compatibility with the neighborhood and representations of the intended use are some of the criteria for Final PUD review. Throughout the four hearings at the Planning and Zoning Commission and the eight hearings at City Council the applicant has continually revised the architecture, including two complete redesigns of the architectural style, to address concerns raised by Planning and Zoning, Council, Staff and the neighbors regarding context, mass and pedestrian scale. The applicant divided the free market building into two smaller buildings which reduces the mass on the site and provides a visual break in the architecture. The elimination of the roof top deck reduced the perceived height of the building. Most recently a new architecture firm was hired to take a fresh look at the architectural style and its compatibility with the neighborhood which resulted in a second redesign of the project. The floor area of the free market component was reduced by about 2,176 square feet. Staff finds that these changes help the proposed new buildings better fit into the neighborhood context and address the concerns raised by Council and the public. Compared to the original Final PUD application the applicant increased the size of the affordable housing units to exceed minimum thresholds, added extra private storage in the basement, and added private balconies for each unit. Larger units, extra storage and private balconies are consistent with the philosophy of the AACP which states, "Housing should be compatible with the scale and character of the community and should emphasize quality construction and design even though that emphasis necessarily increases costs and lessens production." Staff finds that the livability of the units has been greatly improved and is consistent with the AACP. Aspen Walk — 404 Park Cir. & 414 Park Ave. City Council — Staff Memo 2/27/2012 Page 5 of 9 Staff is supportive of the changes to the architectural style and finds that the materials, architectural details and massing help to individualize the buildings and successfully break down the mass of the project. Stafflnds that the Final PUD review criteria listed in Exhibit Z.5. SUBDIVISION: The application proposes to combine Lot 3 and Lot 5 of the Sunny Park Subdivision into 1 lot, renamed Lot 1 of the Aspen Walk Subdivision, and to redevelop the lot with 2 new buildings and 1 large subgrade parking area, as outlined above. Stafffinds that the Subdivision criteria are met, as outlined in Exhibit T. VESTED PROPERTY RIGHTS: The Applicant is requesting a vested property right for the proposed development plan for a period of five (5) years rather than the standard three (3) year period. The Applicant is requesting the longer vesting period "to allow them to navigate the dramatically different economic climate which has made securing funding difficult for multi - family residential projects." Vesting provides an Applicant a timeframe in which the Applicant can rely on the approvals granted in a site specific development plan. It allows the Applicant to undertake and complete the development and use of said property under the terms and conditions of the site specific development plan. Once vested, a development plan shall not be required to be amended as a result of "any zoning or land use action by the city or by an initiated measure" during the vesting period. If the vested rights expire, the project will be subject to any new regulations that may impact the approval granted. The Land Use Code provides for a three year vesting period and a variation from that period is at the sole discretion of the City Council. The City has a process for extending or reinstating vested rights (Section 26308.101 C., Extension or Reinstatement of Vested Rights). The Applicant prefers to request five years of vesting now, rather than request an extension or reinstatement in the future. Staff recommends that the five year vesting period be granted at this time based on economic conditions and past precedent. RECOMMENDATION: Staff finds that the review criteria are met and recommends approval of Final PUD, Subdivision, and a five year vesting period with the conditions listed in the draft Ordinance. RECOMMENDED MOTION (ALL MOTIONS ARE WORDED IN THE AFFIRMITIVE): "I move to approve Ordinance No. 19, Series of 2011, approving with conditions Subdivision, Final PUD approval and a five years vesting period on second reading."

Ordinance No 19, Series 2011 AspenWalk PUD /Subdivision Page 14 of 14 EXHIBIT T SUBDIVISION Chapter 26.480, SUBDIVISION Section 26.480 of the City Land Use Code provides that development applications for Subdivision must comply with the following standards and requirements. A. General Requirements 1. The proposed subdivision shall be consistent with the Aspen Area Comprehensive Plan. 2. The proposed subdivision shall be consistent with the character of existing land uses in the area. 3. The proposed subdivision shall not adversely affect the future development of surrounding areas. 4. The proposed subdivision shall be in compliance with all applicable requirements of this Title. Staff Finding: Staff addresses these criteria in Exhibit Z.5, PUD Review. Staff finds that the proposed development is consistent with the character of the existing land uses in the area and will not adversely affect the future development of the area. The proposed development requires affordable housing allotments, which are unlimited. The project requests GMQS review concurrent with final PUD review. B. Suitability of Land for Subdivision a. Land suitability. The proposed subdivision shall not be located on land unsuitable for development because of flooding, drainage, rock or soil creep, mudflow, rockslide, avalanche or snowslide, steep topography or any other natural hazard or other condition that will be harmful to the health, safety, or welfare of the residents in the proposed subdivision. Staff Finding: The proposed project is a scrape and replace. As such, Staff finds that the land is suitable for development and that this criterion is met. b. Spatial pattern efficient. The proposed subdivision shall not be designed to create spatial patterns that cause inefficiencies, duplication or premature extension of public facilities and unnecessary public costs. Staff Finding: The proposed subdivision is located in a developed neighborhood where utilities and public facilities already exist. The applicant represents that utility extension are not be required. Staff finds that this criterion is met. C. Improvements. The improvements set forth at Chapter 26.580 shall be provided for the proposed subdivision. These standards may be varied by special review (See, Chapter 26.430) if the following conditions have been met: Exhibit T — Subdivision Review Criteria Provided on 10/24/11 Page 1 of 2 1. A unique situation exists for the development where strict adherence to the subdivision design standards would result in incompatibility with the Aspen Area Comprehensive Plan, the existing, neighboring development areas, and/or the goals of the community. 2. The applicant shall specify each design standard variation requested and provide justification for each variation request, providing design recommendations by professional engineers as necessary. Staff Finding: The applicant represents that this standard is met and does not request any variations. D. Affordable housing. A subdivision which is comprised of replacement dwelling units shall be required to provide affordable housing in compliance with the requirements of Chapter 26.520, Replacement Housing Program. A subdivision which is comprised of new dwelling units shall be required to provide affordable housing in compliance with the requirements of Chapter 26.470, Growth Management Quota System. Staff Finding: The Planning and Zoning Commission found that the application met affordable housing mitigation requirements and granted growth management approval via Resolution Numbered 9, Series of 2011. The applicant proposes to mitigate on -site with 14 affordable housing units and off -site through purchase of housing credits. Staff finds that this criterion is met. E. School Land Dedication. Compliance with the School Land Dedication Standards set forth at Chapter 26.630. Staff Finding: The applicant agrees to comply with the School Land Dedication Standards in Chapter 26.630. Staff finds this criterion is met. F. Growth Management Approval. Subdivision approval may only be granted to applications for which all growth management development allotments have been granted or growth management exemptions have been obtained, pursuant to Chapter 26.470. Subdivision approval may be granted to create a parcel(s) zoned Affordable Housing Planned Unit Development (AH -PUD) without first obtaining growth management approvals if the newly created parcel(s) is required to obtain such growth management approvals prior to development through a legal instrument acceptable to the City Attorney. (Ord. No. 44 -2001, § 2) Staff Finding: The proposed project only requires growth management allotments for affordable housing units, which is unlimited. The project requires growth management approval for multi - family replacement for the demolition of both free market residential units and affordable housing units, and approval for the development of affordable housing units. The Planning and Zoning Commission granted Growth Management approval via Resolution Number 9, Series of 2011. Exhibit T — Subdivision Review Criteria Provided on 10/24/11 Page 2 of 2 • EXHIBIT U AFFORDABLE HOUSING Section 26.430.040.1. Affordable housing unit standards. Whenever a Special Review is conducted to reduce the required percentage that the finished floor level of the unit's net livable area is at or above natural or finished grade, whichever is higher, a recommendation from the Housing Board shall be obtained and all of the following criteria shall be met. The criteria below address only the affordable housing units that require a variation from the standard. 1. The proposed affordable housing units are designed in a manner that is compatible with the character of the neighborhood. 2. The proposed amount that the affordable housing units are below natural or finished grade, whichever is more restrictive, is an appropriate response to unique site constraints, such as topography. 3. The proposed affordable housing units are designed in a manner which exceeds the expectations of the Aspen Pitkin County Housing Authority Guidelines, and promotes the unit's general livability by demonstrating compliance with as many of the following conditions as possible: a. Significant storage, such as additional storage outside the unit. b. Above average natural light, such as adding more window area than the Building Code requires. c. Net livable unit sizes exceed minimum requirement. d. Unit amenities, such as access to outdoor space or private patios. Staff Response: The character of the immediate neighborhood can best be described as eclectic multi- family buildings. The project site is located at the base of Smuggler Mountain and as such is sloped with a significant bench between the two subject properties. The grade proposed subgrade spaces, which are about 3' below grade, seem to be an appropriate response to the topography. The proposed garden level affordable housing units have additional storage spaces in the parking garage located above the parking spaces and in a separate storage area. The window areas of the units are larger than required by Building Code and they all have private patios. All of the garden level units are larger than required by the APCHA guidelines. Staff finds that the criteria are met and recommends approval of the variance. Exhibit U — Affordable Housing Unit Variance Provided on 10/24/11 Page 1 of 1 EXHIBIT Z.5 Planned Unit Development Final PUD Review Criteria Sec. 26.445.050. Review Criteria conceptual, final, consolidated and minor PUD. A development application for conceptual, final, consolidated, conceptual and final or minor PUD shall comply with the following standards and requirements. Due to the limited issues associated with conceptual reviews and properties eligible for minor PUD review, certain standards shall not be applied as noted. The burden shall rest upon an applicant to show the reasonableness of the development application and its conformity to the standards and procedures of this Chapter and this Title. Chapter 26.445.050 Review Standards: Final PUD A development application for Final PUD shall comply with the following standards and requirements. A. General Requirements. 1. The proposed development shall be consistent with the Aspen Area Community Plan. Staff Findings: Staff believes that a number of the goals in the Aspen Area Community Plan (AACP) are met. The proposed development contributes to the overall goals of the comprehensive plan by locating development within the Urban Growth Boundary, improves transit options by installing sidewalks, is located near public transit, and adds quality affordable housing units to the City's inventory. Specific elements of the AACP (in italics) and staff's response to the project's compliance is noted below. Managing Growth Chapter: • "Contain development with the creation of the Aspen Community Growth Boundary... to ensure development is contained and sprawl is minimized." (Goal D, pg 18) • "Foster a well- balanced community through integrated design that promotes economic diversity, transit and pedestrian friendly lifestyles, and the mixing of people from different backgrounds." (Goal E, pg 19) Staff finds that the proposed project is located within the Aspen Community Growth Boundary. The location in the Park Avenue/ Park Circle neighborhood at the base of Smuggler Mountain encourages pedestrian friendly lifestyles and public transportation. The proposed mix of both affordable housing and free market residential units meets the goals of the managing growth section by promoting economic diversity and integrating people from different backgrounds. Exhibit Z.5 — Final PUD Review Criteria Provided on 1/23/2012 and updated on 2/ 27/2012 Page 1 of 12 Transportation Chapter: • "The community seeks to provide a balanced, integrated transportation system for residents, visitors, and commuters that reduced congestion and air pollution. Walking, Bicycling and transit use is promoted to help us reach that goal. " (Intent, pg 21) • "Maintain and improve the appeal of bicycling and walking... by adding sidewalk connections, replacing sidewalks, and requiring sidewalks as part of development approvals, where appropriate..." (Goal C, pg 22) • "Consider other innovative transportation modes." (Goal L, pg 23) The applicant proposes to construct sidewalks along Park Avenue and is working with the Engineering Department to potentially contribute money to upgrade to the Park Circle/Park Avenue intersection. A bicycle storage area is proposed in the subgrade parking garage and the project is located near a RFTA stop. The project is required to pay Transportation Demand Management (TDM) fees and as such, does not propose a TDM plan at this time. A traffic study is included in the application. Overall, Staff finds that the project is consistent with the Transportation goals in the AACP. Housing: • "Create an affordable housing environment that is appropriately scaled and distributed throughout existing and new neighborhoods... " (Intent, pg 25) • "Housing should be compatible with the scale and character of the community and should emphasize quality construction and design even though that emphasis necessarily increases costs and lessens production." (Philosophy, pg 25) • "Consideration should be given to minimize the development footprint of all affordable housing projects without compromising the appropriate density or the livability of the project. " (Policies, pg 26) • "The public and private sectors should work together to ensure success in providing affordable housing." (Goal C, pg 27) Staff finds that the proposal is consistent with the Housing Policy to minimize the development footprint of all affordable housing projects without compromising the appropriate density. The applicant has revised the design of the units to increase livability and quality. The addition of balconies for each unit, additional basement storage and larger unit sizes then required are consistent with the AACP. The affordable housing residents have access to a small patio located in the northeast corner of the lot above the entrance ramp to the parking garage. Design Quality • "We favor diversity tempered by context, sometimes historical, sometimes not, as opposed to arbitrariness. `Context' refers first to region, then town, neighborhood, and finally the natural and manmade features joining a particular development site. Exhibit Z.5 — Final PUD Review Criteria Provided on 1/23/2012 and updated on 2/ 27/2012 Page 2 of 12 Decisions regarding scale, massing, form, materials, texture, and color must be first measured by context. Contextual appropriateness transcends 'style' alone.' (Philosophy, pg 42) • "We wish to encourage creativity that results in design solutions that are fresh and innovative, yet are net additions to the built environment by being contextually appropriate and harmonious without being copies of that which already exists." (Philosophy, pg 43) The Park Avenue neighborhood represents a diverse mix of architectural styles. In response to the Planning and Zoning Commission and staff comments the architects redesigned the proposed buildings from heavy timber and stone buildings (similar to the rendering presented during Conceptual PUD review) to a more contemporary style with lighter materials. The redesign and lighter materials contribute to the neighborhood context. The applicant has responded to Staff concerns that the proposed buildings lack architectural features (i.e. one story elements, creating a pedestrian relationship with front porches, etc.) that reduce the perceived scale of a building. A few street facing entrances and walkways were added to the design in an effort to meet these concerns. Most recently, the applicant divided the free market building into two separate structures to create a visual break, setback the middle building from the rear property line and removed 10 feet from the corner facing Park Avenue. The redesign of the architecture, setting the third floor back significantly and alternative vertical and horizontal elements reduce the mass and scale of the project. Staff finds that the goals of the AACP are met regarding design quality. 2. The proposed development shall be consistent with the character of the existing land uses in the surrounding area. Staff Finding: The existing land in the area is primarily residential: it is zoned Residential Multi - Family (RMF) around the proposed project and Medium Density Residential (R -6) to the south. Staff finds that the proposed multi - family project is consistent with the existing land uses. The majority of the proposed project complies with the underlying RMF zone district with the exception of height of the affordable housing building. Staff finds that this criterion is met. 3. The proposed development shall not adversely affect the future development of the surrounding area. Staff Finding: The future development of the surrounding areas will not be adversely affected by the proposed subdivision. 4. The proposed development has either been granted GMQS allotments, is exempt from GMQS, or GMQS allotments are available to accommodate the proposed development and will be considered prior to, or in combination with, final PUD development plan review. Staff Finding: Staff finds that the proposed subdivision is in compliance with the applicable requirements of Title 26. Exhibit Z.5 — Final PUD Review Criteria Provided on 1/23/2012 and updated on 2/ 27/2012 Page 3 of 12 B. Establishment of Dimensional Requirements The final PUD development plans shall establish the dimensional requirements for all properties within the PUD as described in General Provisions, Section 26.445.040, above. The dimensional requirements of the underlying zone district shall be used as a guide in determining the appropriate dimensions for the PUD. During review of the proposed dimensional requirements, compatibility with surrounding land uses and existing development patterns shall be emphasized. Staff Finding: The proposed project complies with the underlying Residential Multi - family (RMF) zone district in terms of FAR, density and setbacks. The proposed height requires variations from the underlying RMF zone district. The northeast facade of the affordable housing building measures about 43 feet 9 inches, which does not comply with the 32 foot height requirement in the RMF zone district. The remainder of the project complies with height requirements. Staff finds that the height variation for the northeast elevation of the housing building is an appropriate trade -off to providing adequate subgrade off - street parking for the units. There are two aspects to the proposed parking on this property. The Code allows redevelopments to maintain an existing deficit of parking and as such the project exceeds the parking requirements. The second aspect of the parking discussion pertains to the allotments of the spaces between the free market and the affordable housing and was raised by Council as an issue for Final Review discussion. The Planning and Zoning Commission also voiced concern about the proposed allotment of parking and brought up concerns about guest parking. The applicant proposes the following dimensional requirements: Table 1: RMF zone district re•uirements com•ared to •ro.osed PUD dimensional re•uirments } t fi 1 ry � } vtl i t T. , �r „ r 6000 sq. ft. 32,774 sq. ft. arti ?- „ , no requirement for n/a m 26 units in total ~a 12 free market 14 affordable residential units housint units - a 5ft. 5ft. 1/ '`p: , 3.33 ft. 5 ft. w erlettlir 5 5ft.

The proposed dimensional requirements for the subject property are appropriate and compatible with the following influences on the property: a. The character of and compatibility with, existing and expected future land uses in the surrounding area. b. Natural or man -made hazards. c. Existing natural characteristics of the property and surrounding area such as steep slopes, waterways, shade, and significant vegetation and landforms. d. Existing and proposed man -made characteristics of the property and the surrounding area such as noise, traffic, transit, pedestrian circulation, parking, and historical resources. Staff Findings: The proposed dimensional requirements are appropriate and compatible with the surrounding area. The character of existing and expected future land uses is consistent with the proposed development. The applicant proposes to construct a sidewalk on the property to improve the pedestrian circulation on Park Avenue and Park Circle. The applicant submitted a traffic impact analysis that predicts a total of 20 to 25 more vehicles per day on Park Avenue. The Environmental Health and Transportation Departments raised questions about the traffic impact analysis report, as mentioned in the DRC comments. The applicant agrees to pay the TDM/Air Quality fee pursuant to Land Use Code requirements. Staff finds this criterion to be met. 2. The proposed dimensional requirements permit a scale, massing, and quantity of open space and site coverage appropriate and favorable to the character of the proposed PUD and of the surrounding area. Exhibit Z.5 — Final PUD Review Criteria Provided on 1/23/2012 and updated on 2/ 27/2012 Page 5 of 12 Staff Findings: Staff finds that the proposed dimensional requirements, in terms of quantity of open space and site coverage, are consistent with the surrounding area which features a mix of multifamily buildings and diverse architecture. Staff finds this criterion to be met. 3. The appropriate number of off - street parking spaces shall be established based on the following considerations: a. The probable number of cars used by those using the proposed development including any non - residential land uses. b. The varying time periods of use, whenever joint use of common parking is proposed. c. The availability of public transit and other transportation facilities, including those for pedestrian access and/or the commitment to utilize automobile disincentive techniques in the proposed development. d. The proximity of the proposed development to the commercial core and general activity centers in the city. Staff Findings: The project is located on a RFTA bus route and is reasonable walking distance from a bus stop (located at Centennial). The pedestrian/ biking bridge over the Roaring Fork River that connects Park Avenue to Hopkins Avenue is in close proximity and provides direct access to downtown. The Land Use Code requires 27 parking spaces be provided for this residential project which recognizes the ability for a redevelopment to maintain an existing deficit of parking. 47 spaces are proposed. The applicant appears to have maximized the number of spaces that could possibly fit in the proposed sub -grade garage in addition to providing extra storage space for the affordable housing units. Staff finds that the proposed number of spaces exceeds the Code requirement and is appropriate for the proposed development. 4. The maximum allowable density within a PUD may be reduced if there exists insufficient infrastructure capabilities. Specifically, the maximum density of a PUD may be reduced if. a. There is not sufficient water pressure, drainage capabilities, or other utilities to service the proposed development. b. There are not adequate roads to ensure fire protection, snow removal, and road maintenance to the proposed development. 5. The maximum allowable density within a PUD may be reduced if there exists natural hazards or critical natural site features. Specifically, the maximum density of a PUD may be reduced if. a. The land is not suitable for the proposed development because of ground instability or the possibility of mud flow, rock falls or avalanche dangers. b. The effects of the proposed development are detrimental to the natural watershed, due to runoff, drainage, soil erosion, and consequent water pollution. c. The proposed development will have a pernicious effect on air quality in the surrounding area and the City. Exhibit Z.5 — Final PUD Review Criteria Provided on 1/23/2012 and updated on 2/ 27/2012 Page 6 of 12 d. The design and location of any proposed structure, road, driveway, or trail in the proposed development is not compatible with the terrain or causes harmful disturbance to critical natural features of the site. 6. The maximum allowable density with in a PUD may be increased if there exists a significant community goal to be achieved through such increase and the development pattern is compatible with its surrounding development patterns and with the sites' physical constraints. Specifically, the maximum density of a PUD may be increased it: a. The increase in density serves one or more goals of the community as expressed in the Aspen Area Community Plan or a specific area plan to which the property is subject. b. The site's physical capabilities can accommodate additional density and there exists no negative physical characteristics of the site, as identified in subparagraphs 4 and 5, above, those areas can be avoided, or those characteristics mitigated c. The increase in maximum density results in a development pattern compatible with, and complimentary to, the surrounding existing and expected development pattern, land uses, and characteristics. Staff Findings: Staff finds that the proposed density of Aspenwalk is consistent with the underlying RMF zone district. The proposed project is located on land and in an area that is already developed. As such, the infrastructure is sufficient for the proposed project and there are no natural hazards or critical natural site features that would warrant a reduction of the proposed density. Staff finds that the criteria above are met, C. Site Design 1. Existing natural or man -made features of the site which are unique, provide visual interest or a specific reference to the past, or contribute to the identity of the town are preserved or enhanced in an appropriate manner. Staff Finding: n/a. The existing buildings proposed for demolition are not local landmarks and there are no significant features of the site that provide visual interest or reference to the past. 2. Structures have been clustered to appropriately preserve significant open spaces and vistas. Staff Finding: The proposed project is not located in a designated viewplane. The applicant proposes three detached buildings to break up the mass of the project with a courtyard between the buildings. Staff finds that this criterion is met. 3. Structures are appropriately oriented to public streets, contribute to the urban or rural context where appropriate, and provide visual interest and engagement of vehicular and pedestrian movement. Exhibit Z.5 — Final PUD Review Criteria Provided on 1/23/2012 and updated on 2/ 27/2012 Page 7 of 12 Staff Finding: The lot is located on a peninsula with three street - facing sides: Park Avenue, Park Circle, and Midland Avenue, as shown below. The proposed buildings are appropriately oriented toward the street. The building provides a number of decks along the street to contribute towards visual interest. Staff recommends that the applicant use the proposed materials differently on each building to create individuality between the structures on the site to further reduce the perceived mass of the development site. Staff finds that this criterion is met. 4. Buildings and access ways are appropriately arranged to allow emergency and service vehicle access. Staff Finding: Staff finds that this criterion is met. The Fire Marshal reviewed the proposal and included requirements for building permit in the DRC comments. 5. Adequate pedestrian and handicapped access if provided. Staff Finding: Staff understands that the applicant is revising the proposed floor plans to provide adequate handicapped access to the buildings to meet this criterion. 6. Site drainage is accommodated for the proposed development in a practical and reasonable manner and shall not negatively impact surrounding properties. Staff Finding: The applicant represents that the project is able to meet storm water drainage requirements, and is working with the Engineering Department to further develop the preliminary drainage analysis submitted with the application. 7. For non - residential land uses, spaces between buildings are appropriately designed to accommodate any programmatic functions associated with the use. Staff Finding: n/a. D. Landscape Plan. The purpose of this standard is to ensure compatibility of the proposed landscape with the visual character of the city, with surrounding parcels, and with existing and proposed features of the subject property. The proposed development shall comply with the following: I. The landscape plan exhibits a well designated treatment of exterior spaces, preserves existing significant vegetation, and provides an ample quantity and variety of ornamental plant species suitable for the Aspen area climate. Staff Finding: The applicant included a proposed landscape plan in the application. The proposed planting and landscape is appropriate for the neighborhood and the proposed project. The Parks Department's comments on the proposed landscaping, tree removal and proposed street trees in the right of way are included in the DRC comments. Staff finds this criterion to be met. Exhibit Z.5 — Final PUD Review Criteria Provided on 1/23/2012 and updated on 2/ 27/2012 Page 8 of 12 2. Significant existing natural and man -made site features, which provide uniqueness and interest in the landscape, are preserved or enhanced in an appropriate manner. Staff Finding: n/a. No significant natural or man-made features have been identified on this site. 3. The proposed method of protecting existing vegetation and other landscape features is appropriate. Staff Finding: The applicant is working with the Parks Department to comply with this standard. Staff finds this criterion to be met. E. Architectural Character. 1. Be compatible with or enhance the visual character of the City, appropriately relate to existing and proposed architecture of the property, represent a character suitable for and indicative of the intended use and respect the scale and massing of nearby historical and cultural resources. Staff Finding: As mentioned previously, the applicant redesigned the building to better relate to the neighborhood and to more accurately reflect the multi - family residential use of the buildings, rather than a lodge use (large architectural features, minimal entrances, large scale). Staff finds that the project is in compliance with this criterion. 2. Incorporate, to the extent practical, natural heating and cooling by taking advantage of the property's solar access, shade and vegetation and by use of non- or less - intensive mechanical systems. Staff Finding: The proposed buildings are oriented to the best extent practical for solar gain. Some of the free market residential units have balconies that will provide shade from the sun. The applicant does not specify the type of mechanical systems proposed for the project. The application mentions the possibility of solar arrays and/or green roof technology but these elements are not specified. Staff finds that the criterion is met with the orientation of the building. Staff encourages the applicant to continue to look at the possibility of green roof technology for this project. 3. Accommodate the storage and shedding of snow, ice and water in a safe and appropriate manner that does not require significant maintenance. Staff Finding: Staff finds this criterion to be met. F. Lighting. I. The purpose of this standard to ensure the exterior of the development will be lighted in an appropriate manner considering both public safety and general aesthetic concerns. Exhibit Z.5 — Final PUD Review Criteria Provided on 1/23/2012 and updated on 2/ 27/2012 Page 9 of 12 2. All exterior lighting shall in compliance with the outdoor lighting standards unless otherwise approved and noted in the final PUD documents. Up- lighting of site features, buildings, landscape elements and lighting to call inordinate attention to the property is prohibited for residential development. Staff Findings: The application states that the project will comply with the lighting requirements listed in Section 26.575.150 of the Land Use Code. The applicant has provided landscape buffering between the project and Midland Park and moved the access stairways internal to the building to address residents' concerns about light pollution. G. Common Park, Open Space, or Recreation Area. If the proposed development includes a common park, open space, or recreation area for the mutual benefit of all development in the proposed PUD, the following criteria shall be met: 1. The proposed amount, location, and design of the common park, open space, or recreation area enhances the character of the proposed development, considering existing and proposed structures and natural landscape features of the property, provides visual relief to the property's built form, and is available to the mutual benefit of the various land uses and property users of the PUD. 2. A proportionate, undivided interest in all common park and recreation areas is deeded in perpetuity (not for a number of years) to each lot or dwelling unit owner within the PUD or ownership is proposed in a similar manner. 3. There is proposed an adequate assurance through a legal instrument for the permanent care and maintenance of open spaces, recreation areas, and shared facilities together with a deed restriction against future residential, commercial, or industrial development. Staff Findings: There are no common parks proposed as part of this application. H. Utilities and Public facilities. The purpose of this standard is to ensure the development does not impose an undue burden on the City's infrastructure capabilities and that the public does not incur an unjustified financial burden. The proposed utilities and public facilities associated with the development shall comply with the following: 1. Adequate public infrastructure facilities exist to accommodate the development. Staff Findings: The project site is already developed and as such is already served by municipal water and sanitary sewers. Staff finds this criterion to be met. Exhibit Z.5 — Final PUD Review Criteria Provided on 1/23/2012 and updated on 2/ 27/2012 Page 10 of 12 2. Adverse impacts on public infrastructure by the development will be mitigated by the necessary improvements at the sole cost of the developer. Staff Findings: The application includes a traffic impact analysis that determines a minimal impact on public streets. The applicant proposes to construct sidewalks and curb and gutter to meet Engineering standards. The Aspen Consolidated Sanitation District (ACSD) has indicated potential sanitary sewer capacity improvement may be necessary and the Engineering Department identified improvements to the Park Avenue/Park Circle intersection. The applicant agrees to pay a proportionate share of these necessary improvements. 3. Oversized utilities, public facilities, or site improvements are provided appropriately and where the developer is reimbursed proportionately for the additional improvement. Staff Findings: The application states that it will comply with required Engineering, ACSD, and Utilities Standards. L Access and Circulation. The purpose of this standard is to ensure the development is easily accessible, does not unduly burden the surrounding road network, provides adequate pedestrian and recreational trail facilities and minimizes the use of security gates. The proposed access and circulation of the development shall meet the following criteria: 1. Each lot, structure, or other land use within the PUD has adequate access to a public street either directly or through an approved private road, a pedestrian way, or other area dedicated to public or private use. Staff Finding: The lot and associated structures are located on Park Circle and Park Avenue. There is adequate access to public streets, and a new sidewalk is proposed as part of this project to improve the current pedestrian way. Staff finds this criterion to be met. 2. The proposed development, vehicular access points, and parking arrangement do not create traffic congestion on the roads surrounding the proposed development, or such surrounding roads are proposed to be improved to accommodate the development. Staff Finding: The proposed location of the parking garage ramp is adequate and should not create traffic congestion. The application includes a traffic analysis for the proposed project that concludes a minimal impact on the surrounding roads. The Transportation Department raised some concerns regarding assumptions in the study, but agrees that the applicant is paying the required TDM/Air Quality fee to mitigate for traffic impacts. Currently, the existing buildings have haphazard on- street, off - street parking arrangements that cause pedestrian and traffic issues. The applicant proposes a sub -grade parking garage to clean up the existing condition and to provide off - street parking for residents. Staff finds this criterion is met. Exhibit Z.5 — Final PUD Review Criteria Provided on 1/23/2012 and updated on 2/ 27/2012 Page 11 of 12 3. Areas of historic pedestrian or recreational trail use, improvements of, or connections to, the bicycle and pedestrian trail system, and adequate access to significant public lands and the rivers are provided through dedicated public trail easements and are proposed for appropriate improvements and maintenance. Staff Finding: The proposed development will not require any trail easements. Staff finds this criterion to be met. 4. The recommendations of the Aspen Area Community Plan and adopted specific plans regarding recreational trails, pedestrian and bicycle paths, and transportation are proposed to be implemented in an appropriate manner. Staff Finding: The Applicant has agreed to provide sidewalks along the property. There are no specific trails or paths that are required. Staff finds this criterion to be met. 5. Streets in the PUD which are proposed or recommended to be retained under private ownership provide appropriate dedication to public use to ensure appropriate public and emergency access. Staff Finding: There are no internal streets proposed as part of this PUD. Staff finds this criterion to be met. • 6. Security gates, guard posts, or other entryway expressions for the PUD, or for lots within the PUD, are minimized to the extent practical. Staff Finding: There are no gates or guard posts proposed as part of this PUD. Staff finds this criterion to be met. J. Phasing of Development Plan. (does not apply to Conceptual PUD applications) The purpose of this criterion is to ensure partially completed projects do not create an unnecessary burden on the public or surrounding property owners and impacts of an individual phase are mitigated adequately. If phasing of the development plan is proposed, each phase shall be defined in the adopted final PUD development plan. Staff Finding: The development is proposed to be constructed in one phase. The applicant represents that all aspects of the project will be developed concurrently.

If no development approval is granted or if the development is otherwise abandoned, there is no further obligation by APCHA to provide replacement accommodations. In keeping with the provisions of the APCHA guidelines, the Special Review Committee has determined that these households will be offered an opportunity to purchase or rent a studio, 1 bedroom or two bedroom units (as applicable and described below) without going through the lottery for ownership units or the rental wait list for rental units. The rental rate for a replacement apartment shall begin at the Category determined by APCHA for that tenant at 60 days prior to the demolition of the SMA, and updated annually per APCHA Guidelines. The replacement units can be either rental or ownership units at the option of the SMA tenant. A two bedroom SMA unit will be replaced with a two bedroom replacement unit and a studio SMA unit will be replaced with a studio or one bedroom unit. Gladys Moreno and daughter Dianna Platero are a two person household and they are currently in a two bedroom SMA unit. Jason Evitt is a one person household in a studio unit. Kimberly Hay is a one person household in a studio unit. David McCoy is a one person household in a studio unit. Dion Milliman is a one person household in a studio unit. Jennifer Clark is a one person household in a studio unit. If an SMA household wishes to upgrade from a studio to a one bedroom for purchase or rental it will be permitted for replacement purposes at the option of the tenant. It is understood that if chosen, such a unit type change will likely increase the rental rate. Page 1 of 2 56.frif i•� 'I''hL Upon final development approval and before demolition, the above identified SMA tenants can opt to purchase or to rent any available APCHA unit of applicable size and Category and immediately leave SMA. They can also temporarily transfer to another- available APCHA rental unit while they wait until a suitably sized and categorized ownership unit becomes available for their purchase. They can exercise this temporary replacement option immediately following the final development approval by the Aspen City Council. Upon demolition of SMA they will have three years to exercise either the final replacement ownership or rental option. The rent during this time will be at the applicable Category rate as published in the APCHA Guidelines. If any of the SMA tenants cannot obtain financing for the entire purchase price of their APCHA replacement housing, APCHA will purchase the unit and resell it to the SMA tenant for an amount that is consistent with their Category at that time. Based on the information provided by the SMA tenants, APCHA has the funds needed to accomplish this for any or all of the SMA tenants covered by this agreement. APCHA will replenish the funds so expended upon future resale of these units at the full Category price in effect at the time of the sale. When SMA tenants exercise their option to purchase or to rent a unit, APCHA's obligation is fulfilled. In other words, the SMA tenants can bypass the lottery process /wait list process one time only. �✓7� Tom McCabe, Executive Director, APCHA January 13, 2012 Page 2 of 2 °A~r STAN CLAUSON ASSOCIATES INC landscape architecture. planning. resort design • 412 North Mill Street Aspen, Colorado 8i6ii t.970/925-2323 f.970/920 -1628 • info @scaplanning.com wwwscaplanning.com 17 February 2012 Ms. Sara Adams Senior Planner, City of Aspen 130 S. Galena Street, 3rd Floor Aspen, CO 81611 Re: ispenWalk / Supplemental Submission Dear Sara: Please accept the enclosed supplemental submission showing the revised architectural drawings as well as the floor area calculation sheet for the AspenWalk project. We look forward to reviewing and discussing these materials at the City Council hearing on 27 February. The supplemental submission has incorporated the following changes in response to comments received from Council at the last hearing: • Reduction in free - market floor area by 2,176 sq. ft. - Reduction of the free - market floor area has been accomplished by making individual units smaller. This has dramatically reduced the footprints of the free - market buildings. For example, unit sizes of the free- market units are smaller than the Phase II Burlingame RO single - family residences. Burlingame Phase II Units 5 & 6 are 2,400 sq. ft., while AspenWalk free - market units now average 2,124 sq. ft. This will translate to future homeowners who will bring more family oriented vitality and ensure that the close -knit feeling of neighborhood continues. • Improved neighborhood "social dynamics" - This concept was introduced at the last City Council hearing as something not discussed in the land use code but important to Council. In response, reductions in building footprint have permitted the creation of a pocket park at the southern corner of the project. This will provide a welcoming neighborhood amenity for residents and neighbors to gather. This public amenity will represent the positive change the project will have on the existing neighborhood dynamic. The location of the pocket park, across from the existing bus stop and at the terminus of King Street, ensures that the space will be well used and highly visible. An area of lawn and seating wall are proposed adjacent to the pocket park. Applicant will provide any required encroachment and maintenance agreements. • Reduction of the perceived and real mass - In conjunction with the pocket park and lawn area, the corner of the southern free - market building has been redesigned to significantly reduce the massing by reducing the height of the corner elements by 10 feet. This creates a strongly human scale facade. The mass of the building components has been lessened to increase the perception of a building made up of smaller elements. In addition to the changes in the real and perceived massing, six feet has been removed from the northerly rear side of the building to increase the open space between the two free - market buildings and provide for additional landscaping. • Increased setback from Midland Park - The eastern facade of the middle free - market building has been pulled back an additional 10 feet from the property line adjacent 1 3 Sara Adams, Senior Planner Supplemental Submission / AspenWalk 17 February 2012 `j r ^ 12 : to the Midland Park open space. Total setback of the middle building to the open space is now a generous 26 feet. • No changes have been made to the compliant and previously APCHA reviewed and approved affordable housing units. The units still feature inviting gathering spaces, balconies and patios, ample storage space, and light- filled and airy living units. The applicant and the design team have worked very hard to provide the changes and improvements as discussed at the last Council hearing. We strongly believe that this public /private partnership, which seeks to provide affordable housing at no cost to the City, will be a huge improvement to the neighborhood. We feel that this has been proven by the generally positive reception of the neighbors. Please call me with any questions. Very truly yours, Stan Clauson, AICP, ASLA STAN CLAUSON ASSOCIATES, INC.

The cabin is a voluntarily deed restricted Accessory Dwelling Unit. °rs a The owner proposes voluntary landmark �` designation and a Historic Landmark Lot Split. 1, There are 3 options available for how the allowable floor area might be distributed on the site. The two development options that are preferred by the owner are incorporated into the ordinance, either of which option could be exercised at a future date. Some of the development rights may be relocated from the property through Transferable Development Rights for Historic Landmarks. The existing ADU deed restriction is to be removed from the cabin, which will become a free market home. The applicant's stated goal is to ensure the long -term preservation of the cabin as- is, directing any future development potential towards the lot that contains the non - historic home. HPC reviewed the application on January 1 lth and recommended Council approval. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff and HPC recommend Council approve Historic Landmark Designation and Historic Landmark Lot Split. Staff recommends Council allow for the creation of TDRs. APPLICANTS: Jeffrey Shoaf, property owner. 1 PARCEL ID: 2737 - 073 -53 -002. ADDRESS: 117/119 Neale Avenue, Lot 2, Amended Shoaf's Waterfall Subdivision, together with the property described on the deed recorded in Book 799 at Page 660, City and Townsite of Aspen, Colorado City and Townsite of Aspen. ZONING: R -15, Moderate Density Residential. HISTORIC DESIGNATION 26.415.030.B. Aspen Victorian Criteria. To be eligible for designation on the Aspen Inventory of Historic Landmark Sites and Structures as an example of Aspen Victorian, an individual building, site, structure or object or a collection of buildings, sites, structures or objects must have a demonstrated quality of significance. The quality of significance of properties shall be evaluated according to the criteria described below. When designating a historic district, the majority of the contributing resources in the district shall meet the criteria described below: a. The property or district is deemed significant for its antiquity, in that it contains structures which can be documented as built during the 19 century, and b. The property or district possesses an appropriate degree of integrity of location, setting, design, materials, workmanship and association, given its age. The City Council shall adopt and make available to the public score sheets and other devices which shall be used by the Council and Historic Preservation Commission to apply this criterion. Staff Finding: The log cabin at 117 Neale Avenue was built in the 1880s. The applicant has submitted information about the relocation of this building from Snowmass to the Benedict family's Stillwater Road property in the 1960s, then to Neale Avenue in the 1990s. The cabin has not been designated in the City of Aspen up to this point primarily because it was moved into the City after most of the inventories of Victorian era historic resources were completed. HPC did present an award to the applicant in 1999 for the renovation of the cabin. The historic portion of the building is essentially the log walls that define the original cabin. At the time that the Benedict family rescued the cabin from "demolition by neglect," the roof was already gone. Benedict, and then Jeffrey Shoaf, built a new roof, added a porch, altered some windows, and constructed a small addition on the north side of the building. The cabin is significant for its antiquity. There are very few examples of mining era log cabins remaining in the area. There is no appropriate integrity scoring form to use for this property because the forms that have been created for 19 century residential buildings generally refer to wood frame structures with clapboard siding and Queen Anne related detailing. The scoring form for Rustic buildings refers to structures built in the 20` century. The cabin in question does not have integrity in terms of 2 location or setting given that it was built in Snowmass, in a more rural environment. It does have integrity in the fact that the scale of the building is preserved, the original log walls are preserved and the original craftsmanship is evident. The cabin also has historical association with Fritz Benedict. Benedict's role as a pioneer architect in postwar Aspen, and as an influential mentor to many designers who arrived here from the 50s and on, is well documented in the research paper "Aspen's Twentieth - Century Architecture: Modernism 1945- 1975." Staff and HPC find that criteria A and B are met and support landmark designation. HISTORIC LANDMARK LOT SPLIT In order to complete a Historic Landmark Lot Split, the Municipal Code states that the application shall meet the following requirements of Aspen Land Use Code: Section 26.480.030(A)(2) and (4), Section 26.470.070(C), and Section 26.415.120(A). Recent amendments to the code have rendered the latter two code citations inaccurate. Section 26.470.070(C) previously provided for Growth Management exemption of a new home on a Historic Landmark Lot Split parcel. The exemption is now found at Section 26.470.060. Section 26.415.120(A) refers to appeals of HPC decisions. The correct code citation is 26.415.110(A), which is procedures for review of Historic Landmark Lot Splits. The relevant code sections are addressed below. 26.480.030(A)(2), SUBDIVISION EXEMPTIONS, LOT SPLIT The split of a lot for the purpose of the development of one detached single - family dwelling on a lot formed by a lot split granted subsequent to November 14, 1977, where all of the following conditions are met: a) The land is not located in a subdivision approved by either the Pitkin County Board of County Commissioners or the City Council, or the land is described as a metes and bounds parcel which has not been subdivided after the adoption of subdivision regulations by the City of Aspen on March 24, 1969. This restriction shall not apply to properties listed on the Aspen Inventory of Historic Landmark Sites and Structures; and Staff Finding: The property is located in a subdivision approved by the City, however there is an exemption from this standard for historic properties. b) No more than two (2) lots are created by the lot split, both lots conform to the requirements of the underlying zone district. Any lot for which development is proposed will mitigate for affordable housing pursuant to Section 26.470.070(B); and Staff Finding: The applicant proposes to create two lots. Lot 1, which will contain the existing non - historic house will be 12,762 square feet in size. Lot 2, with the cabin, is proposed to be 3,040 square feet in size. Both conform to the minimum lot size of 3,000 square feet for Historic Landmark Lot Splits. The buildings will not be required to mitigate for affordable housing 3 because they are existing units. The deed restriction that has dedicated the cabin as an ADU since 1998 will be removed. c) The lot under consideration, or any part thereof was not previously the subject of a subdivision exemption under the provisions of this , chapter or a "lot split" exemption pursuant to Section 26.470.040(C)(1)(a): and Staff Finding: The land has not received a subdivision exemption or lot split exemption. d) A subdivision plat which meets the terms of this chapter, and conforms to the requirements of this title, is submitted and recorded in the office of the Pitkin County clerk and recorder after approval, indicating that no further subdivision may be granted for these lots nor will additional units be built without receipt of applicable approvals pursuant to this chapter and growth management allocation pursuant to Chapter 26.470. Staff Finding: The subdivision plat shall be a condition of approval. It must be reviewed by the Community Development Department for approval and recordation within 180 days of final land use action. e) Recordation. The subdivision exemption agreement and plat shall be recorded in the office of the Pitkin County clerk and recorder. Failure on the part of the applicant to record the plat within one hundred eighty (180) days following approval by the City Council shall render the plat invalid and reconsideration of the plat by the City Council will be required for a showing of good cause. Staff Finding: The subdivision exemption agreement shall be a condition of approval. fi In the case where an existing single-family dwelling occupies a site which is eligible for a lot split, the dwelling need not be demolished prior to application for a lot split Staff Finding: No demolition is proposed. g) Maximum potential buildout for the two (2) parcels created by a lot split shall not exceed three (3) units, which may be composed of a duplex and a single-family home. Staff Finding: No more than three units will be developed, as described above. 26.480.030(A)(4), SUBDIVISION EXEMPTIONS, HISTORIC LANDMARK LOT SPLIT a.) The original parcel shall be a minimum of six thousand (6,000) square feet in size and be located in the R -6, R -15, R -15A, RMF or 0 Zone District Staff Finding: The subject parcel is 15,802 square feet and is located in the R -15 Zone District. 4 b.) The total FAR for both residences shall be established by the size of the parcel and the Zone District where the property is located. The total FAR for each lot shall be noted on the subdivision exemption plat. Staff Finding: FAR is based on the lot size of the "fathering," i.e. existing parcel. In this case, deductions are required due to the topography of the site. The FAR that remains available after slope calculations is approximately 4,833 square feet. The applicant represents that all FAR will be allocated to the non - historic house on Lot 1, except what is needed to cover the cabin in its existing condition. As a preservation incentive, HPC was asked for, and has approved, a 500 square foot FAR bonus, which fully covers the size of the historic cabin. Typically in a lot split, FAR is divided somewhat proportionately between the two lots. In this case, the applicant does not want to allow for the potential for a future addition to the cabin. Staff finds that this meets the underlying goal of the Historic Landmark Lot Split, which is to remove development pressure from historic buildings. However the FAR that is available for the site cannot be allocated 100% to a single family home on Lot 1, because it will be more FAR than zoning allows. The following page is a summary of the development options for the property. Since First Reading, an Option 3 has been added, for a duplex on Lot 1. The overall FAR is not increased, but instead is divided between three units instead of two. The property size allows for this density. The property owner prefers Options 1 or 3 (shaded on the attached chart), both of which are accommodated in the proposed plat notes and in the Ordinance. It is likely that some of the allowable FAR will be removed from the site in the form of one or two TDRs. Criteria for creating TDRs are discussed at the end of the memo. 5 117/119 NEALE AVENUE HISTORIC LANDMARK LOT SPLIT ANALYSIS Without designation With designation Option 1 Option 2 Option 3 Lot size 15,802 Lot 1: 12,762.

A historic TDR certificate may be established by the Mayor if the City Council, pursuant to adoption of an ordinance, finds all the following standards met: A. The sending site is a historic landmark on which the development of a single - family or duplex residence is a permitted use, pursuant to Chapter 26.710, Zone Districts. Properties on which such development is a conditional use shall not be eligible. Staff Finding: Single family and duplex uses are permitted in the zone district where 117/119 Neale Avenue is located. B. It is demonstrated that the sending site has permitted unbuilt development rights, for either a single- family or duplex home, equaling or exceeding two hundred and fifty (250) square feet of floor area multiplied by the number of historic TDR certificates requested. Staff Finding: The application demonstrates that there is unused FAR available on the property. C. It is demonstrated that the establishment of TDR certificates will not create a nonconformity. In cases where a nonconformity already exists, the action shall not increase the specific nonconformity. Staff Finding: No non - conformities will be created by the project. All dimensional requirements of the zone district are met or have properly received variances from HPC. D. The analysis of unbuilt development right shall only include the actual built development, any approved development order, the allowable development right prescribed by zoning for a single- family or duplex residence, and shall not include the potential of the sending site to gain floor area bonuses, exemptions or similar potential development incentives. Staff Finding: The analysis only includes development that is by right or has been awarded by HPC approval. E. Any development order to develop floor area, beyond that remaining legally connected to the property after establishment of TDR Certificates, shall be considered null and void. Staff Finding: No such development order exists. 7 F. The proposed deed restriction permanently restricts the maximum development of the property (the sending site) to an allowable floor area not exceeding the allowance for a single - family or duplex residence minus two hundred and fifty (250) square feet of floor area multiplied by the number of historic TDR certificates established. For properties with multiple or unlimited floor areas for certain types of allowed uses, the maximum development of the property, independent of the established property use, shall be the floor area of a single- family or duplex residence (whichever is permitted) minus two hundred fifty (250) square feet of floor area multiplies by the number of historic TDR certificates established. The deed restriction shall not stipulate an absolute floor area, but shall stipulate a square footage reduction from the allowable floor area for a single- family or duplex residence, as my be amended from time to time. The sending site shall remain eligible for certain floor area incentives and /or exemptions as may be authorized by the City • Land Use Code, as may be amended from time to time. The form of the deed restriction shall be acceptable to the City Attorney. Staff Finding: The deed restriction will follow the form approved by the City Attorney. G. A real estate closing has been scheduled at which, upon satisfaction of all relevant requirements, the City shall execute and deliver the applicable number of historic TDR certificates to the sending site property owner and that property owner shall execute and deliver a deed restriction lessening the available development right of the subject property together with the appropriate fee for recording the deed restriction with the County Clerk and Recorder's office. Staff Finding: A closing will be scheduled at the conclusion of the review. H. It shall be the responsibility of the sending site property owner to provide building plans and a zoning analysis of the sending site to the satisfaction of the Community Development Director. Certain review fees may be required for the confirmation of built floor area. (Ord. 54- 2003, §§ 4, 5) Staff Finding: The applicant has provided floor area analysis. RECOMMENDATION: Staff and HPC recommend Council approve Historic Landmark Designation and Historic Landmark Lot Split, and the creation of TDRs.

The analysis of unbuilt development right shall only include the actual built development, any approved development order, the allowable development right prescribed by zoning for a single - family or duplex residence, and shall not include the potential of the sending site to gain floor area bonuses, exemptions or similar potential development incentives. E. Any development order to develop floor area, beyond that remaining legally connected to the property after establishment of TDR Certificates, shall be considered null and void. F. The proposed deed restriction permanently restricts the maximum development of the property (the sending site) to an allowable floor area not exceeding the allowance for 117/119 Neale Avenue Ordinance #2, Series of 2012 Page 3 of 8 a single - family or duplex residence minus two hundred and fifty (250) square feet of floor area multiplied by the number of historic TDR certificates established. For properties with multiple or unlimited floor areas for certain types of allowed uses, the maximum development of the property, independent of the established property use, shall be the floor area of a single - family or duplex residence (whichever is permitted) minus two hundred fifty (250) square feet of floor area multiplies by the number of historic TDR certificates established. The deed restriction shall not stipulate an absolute floor area, but shall stipulate a square footage reduction from the allowable floor area for a single - family or duplex residence, as my be amended from time to time. The sending site shall remain eligible for certain floor area incentives and/or exemptions as may be authorized by the City Land Use Code, as may be amended from time to time. The form of the deed restriction shall be acceptable to the City Attorney. G. A real estate closing has been scheduled at which, upon satisfaction of all relevant requirements, the City shall execute and deliver the applicable number of historic TDR certificates to the sending site property owner and that property owner shall execute and deliver a deed restriction lessening the available development right of the subject property together with the appropriate fee for recording the deed restriction with the County Clerk and Recorder's office.

To: "jeffshoaf <jefshoaf @comcast.net> Sent: Wednesday, October 19, 2011 8:05:56 PM Subject: Benedict Cabin History October 31, 2011 attention: Amy Guthrie "THE BENEDICT CABIN HISTORY ", updated and with additional paragraph 117 Neale Avenue, Aspen According to Jens Christianson, who was very familiar with the cabin and lived on Owl Creek Road for most of his 90 plus years only a couple of miles from the original cabin site (which is where the Snowmass Timbers Club is now, at the bottom the Elk Camp Lifts), the "Benedict Cabin" was originally built in the 1800's by a Scandinavian woodsman and trapper, who was locally well known as an excellent cabin builder and overall craftsman. Back in the 1990's, I told Jens about my plans to acquire and move the cabin from the Benedict's Stillwater Road land to my property across Neale Avenue from No Problem Joe's historic home site. When we talked about the 1886 newspaper article that was still attached to one of the logs inside, Jens was not surprised, and just nodded his head and smiled his approval! In the early 1970's, Fritz and Fabi Benedict decided that the cabin was architecturally and historically too valuable to just let go to waste or be tumed into firewood like so many other beautiful and historic cabins of the valley, and it was clearly in the path of future development where it was. By then, there was no roof on the cabin as evidenced by a 1973 photograph, and the exterior, hand hewed log walls were falling in on each other and the place was heading downhill fast! The Benedicts dedded something had to be done to save the cabin as an example of 1880's era local architecture and construction. They came up with the idea of disassembling and moving the cabin to their vacant Stillwater Road property on the river near the old gravel pits in East Aspen, to be rebuilt and preserved there. Their original idea as I was told was to rebuild the cabin for the use of their daughter, Jessica. Unfortunately, when the cabin project was nearly complete, the Benedict's Cabin got "red tagged" by the building department for reasons I do not know and was never completely finished. In spite of the fact that the exterior logs were fully chinked and finished, the front porch beautifully designed and built, the windows and doors were all installed and completed, and the wood shingled roof and fish scale accents were finished, ....and the entire cabin was basically "weather tight" and ready to go, it was still red tagged. Even though there was a dishwasher and sink in the kitchen section and a modern bathroom downstairs, I do not believe the cabin was ever fully operational. The cabin did remain very functional and served various purposes over the years, including finally being the Resnick's construction headquarters during the building of their new home , in addition to being a quaint, local delight to all who came down Stillwater Road and admired it! Fritz and Fabi sold the underlying property, including the cabin to the Stewart Resnicks, who proceeded to build their lovely 2nd home past the cabin site. Unfortunately for them, they used all their allowable floor area on the new house, and even though they wanted to keep the cabin, if at all possible, they were not allowed to do so and had to have the cabin removed from their property for zoning purposes. This set of circumstances led to me acquiring the cabin from the Resnicks by way of a sealed bid auction. My purpose in acquiring the cabin was always to be as faithful as possible in reconstructing the cabin on my Neale Avenue property true to the Benedict's classic, original design and their preservation intentions. Through research, I was even able to learn who had helped rebuilt the cabin for Fritz in the early 1970's, and I was able to hire the same old time local builder, namely Bill Knight, that the Benedicts had used back then to help rebuild the cabin on my property! Bill was naturally excited about the opportunity to work on the new reconstruction of the historic cabin for a second time....only 25 years later than the 1st time, and with historic designation hopefully being granted, we hope for the last time! In addition to the original logs, we salvaged as much as we could from the Stillwater cabin site, induding the original cypress barn wood, vertical siding that the Benedicts had used and is still in place on the north end of the cabin, just like Fritz had done it! The original "fish scale" Victorian accent shingles were likewise reused as Fritz had and we even matched the cabin's new chinking to exactly Fritts chosen color and had hardwood floors installed like his on the porch and inside.. In 1998 and 1999, we did our very best to reconstruct the cabin in it's present location on Neale Avenue true to what Fritz and Fabi had envisioned and built on Stillwater. A significant part of the end result now in place is that the cabin's most visibly important, east fadng, Neale Avenue exposure with the porch is almost identical to what the Benedicts originally designed and built on Stillwater, also facing the street! Elsewhere, the cabin's reconstruction underwent only minor changes that were made primarily to accommodate the new orientation and siting at the present Neale Avenue location. In addition to the above historic features maintained, we also only used authentic, City of Aspen acquired 100 year old mall bricks for the access sidewalk, entryway and the front porch step. An authentic Victorian design, wooden picket fence, with entry gate has been installed, and authentic, antique light fixtures, and 100 plus year old beams further enhanced the overall curb appeal from Neale Avenue, which was very important to us. Additionally, the smaller scale of the cabin contributes significantly to the present overall positive, historic Neale Avenue neighborhood experience, especially in these times of big and bigger house being built all the time! I hope to see, that through the powers and wisdom of "Historic Designation ", the cabin will always remain where it is now and true to the Benedict vision . In conclusion, and as a part of my Land Use Application, and as per Amy's request, I want to state what I am doing regarding: 1) the FAR of the Benedict Cabin and spell out my intentions to restrict any future additions, remodeling or expanding of the current Cabin, and 2) what I would be asking the HPC to provide for me as additional benefits for me taking on historic designation for the Cabin. Firstly, my intention is to limit the Benedict Cabin in the future to its current size and footprint on the newly created lot #2, Benedict Cabin Subdivision Exemption plat, which is true to the Benedict's original vision. Secondly, I would ask HPC to grant me a 500 square foot FAR bonus, to be applied to the larger lot #1 where my current house is located. Additionally, any unused FAR from the Cabin lot #2, not used by the current cabin "as is ", shall also be transferred and credited to the larger lot #1 for any future use or XFINITY Connect Page 3 of 3 redevelopment on lot #1. It also appears that I will need setback and parking variances on lot #2 as well as per Amy. Finally, if at all possible, I would ask for an exemption from having to either build an ADU or pay cash in lieu with the future redevelopment of my current house on lot #1, in light of the fact that the Cabin was originally approved and built as an ADU with few restrictions, and basically continues to functions the same. Thank you for reviewing these matters and I sincerely look forward to working with you all. Jeffrey S.

Fritz was still alive when the property was sold to the Resnicks. I have looked through my photos here at the house and have been unable to find the "cabin" photo. It is possible that it is in a file in the storage barn which is too difficult to get to today with the recent snow. I will put it on my "to do" list and look for it when the weather clears. I have included a short letter of encouragement on your quest to designate the cabin as historical. I consider it a very worthwhile project and wish you luck this afternoon at the meeting. Sincerely. Jessica Benedict- Gordon Dear Amy and the HPC, I am writing you in support of Jeffrey Shoats proposal to designate the "Benedict Cabin" as an historical building to be placed on the City of Aspen's historic registry. I believe Jeffery has spent time and money to insure that the cabin retained it's authentic character.

SUMMARY: The current owner of the property, The Applicant requests that Council amend the Ronnie Marshall of 320 Lake Avenue, Marshall Lot Split Subdivision approval granted in Aspen, CO 81611, has consented to the 1987. The Subdivision, which split one large parcel application. in half, included a condition of approval that created more restrictive setbacks on Parcel 1 than required REPRESENTATIVE: Michael Hoffman, by underlying zoning. Garfield and Hecht, P.C. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: LOCATION: 320 Lake Avenue, Parcel I Staff recommends that the amendment be approved of the Marshall Lot Split, Aspen. finding that circumstances on the site, as well as City Land Use regulations, have changed since the ZONING & USE: R - 6, single family Subdivision approval. home. P 3 a , c ..„. f °I AA ,.. r ,,,, , .v . 4 t. i = 4. 1 0 4, 'n P. ,7v `, , 1 ' Page 1 of 3 LAND USE REQUEST AND REVIEW PROCEDURE: In December, the Applicant received Conceptual HPC approval for a remodel to the existing Victorian era home on the subject site. The remodel entails demolishing and replacing an older addition to the building, and moving the house slightly closer to the street and towards the south. HPC granted approval including variances from the standard setback requirements of the R -6 zone district. It was anticipated that the applicant would then approach Council to ask that the standard setback requirements, rather than the setbacks established in the 1987 Subdivision, be applied. Staff determined that it was best to have HPC conduct design review and make a preliminary determination on the appropriateness of the project before Council was asked to consider the Subdivision Amendment, rather than the other way around. The ability for the applicant to move forward to Final HPC approval depends on Council's determination regarding the setback condition, which appears as a note on the Marshall Lot Split plat. Council is the review authority on this Subdivision Amendment. SUBDIVISION REVIEW Subdivision review was originally required to split what was once 13,000 square foot lot into two approximately equal lots. The parcels both meet the minimum lot size for the neighborhood, which is 6,000 square feet. Section 26.480.080.B of the City Land Use Code provides that Subdivision amendments which are not insubstantial are reviewed and approved by City Council, "provided that the proposed change is consistent with the approved plat." Staff Response: Some of the original records for Council review of this Subdivision were apparently not retained, and Council determinations were not always done by Ordinance at the time this Subdivision was granted. The application includes the minutes from City Council's Nov. 23, 1987 discussion. Planning Staff and Council were concerned with avoiding negative impacts to existing trees on the property as well as Hallam Lake, and crafted a condition on the Subdivision in that vein. The 1987 Subdivision approval stated that all development on this property should be confined to the footprint of the Victorian and the addition that was already in place at that time. It appears that this was done in order to protect a row of three large cottonwoods in the south sideyard of Parcel 1. Those trees have since deteriorated in health and have received Parks Department approval to be removed. Without the trees, there is no clear reason to limit the buildable area on the south side of Parcel 1 in a manner that is different than what is required of the rest of the neighborhood. Regulations to protect Hallam Lake from the impact of development on the bluff were adopted after this Subdivision. The current redevelopment proposal is subject to these strict criteria, particularly the requirement for setback from the top of slope. Staff believes that development at the rear of the site is appropriately regulated through today's Environmentally Sensitive Area regulations. Staff cannot identify a rationale for restricting the front yard setback on this parcel in a manner that is different than adjacent parcels. Page 2 of 3 RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the applicant's proposed plat amendment, removing the 1987 condition, is accepted due to changed circumstances and changed Land Use Codes since the time of approval. PROPOSED MOTION: "I move to adopt Ordinance #4, Series of 2012." CITY MANAGER COMMENTS: ATTACHMENTS: Ordinance #4, Series of 2012 Exhibit A: Application Page 3 of 3 ORDINANCE #4 (Series of 2012) AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ASPEN, COLORADO APPROVING A SUBDIVISION AMENDMENT FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 320 LAKE AVENUE, PARCEL 1 OF THE MARSHALL LOT SPLIT, CITY AND TOWNSITE OF ASPEN, COUNTY OF PITKIN, STATE OF COLORADO PARCEL ID: 2735- 124 -01 -002 WHEREAS, the applicant, 320 Aspen, LLC, represented by Michael Hoffman, Garfield and Hecht, P.C., has requested a Subdivision Amendment for the property located at 320 Lake Avenue, Parcel 1 of the Marshall Lot Split, City and Townsite of Aspen, Colorado. The current owner of the property, Ronnie Marshall, has consented to the application; and WHEREAS, Section 26.480.080.B of the Aspen Municipal Code establishes the process for Subdivision Amendment which may be approved by City Council, "provided that the proposed change is consistent with the approved plat;" and WHEREAS, Amy Guthrie, Historic Preservation Officer, in her staff report to City Council, performed an analysis of the application, found that the review standard for Subdivision Amendment is met, and recommended approval; and WHEREAS, the City Council finds that the proposal meets or exceeds all applicable development standards and that the approval of the development proposal is consistent with the goals and elements of the Aspen Area Community Plan; and, WHEREAS, the City Council finds that this Ordinance furthers and is necessary for the promotion of public health, safety, and welfare. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ASPEN, COLORADO, THAT: Section 1: Subdivision Amendment Pursuant to the procedures and standards set forth in Title 26 of the Aspen Municipal Code, Aspen City Council hereby approves a Subdivision Amendment to remove a plat note which imposes setback restrictions on Parcel 1 of the Marshall Lot Split plat and replaces it with the following note: The execution and recording of the Amended Plat memorializes the vacation of the first Plat Note found on the Plat for Marshall Lot Split, recorded in the real property records of Pitkin County on January 26, 1988 in Plat Book 20 at Page 54, as such vacation was approved by the City of Aspen in Ordinance #4, Series of 2012. The Plat Note, which restricted development into the existing sideyard and front yard for Parcel 1, is no longer needed as it restricts development within the south sideyard because trees located on the south side of Parcel 1 have become old and diseased. The City of Aspen Parks Department has issued 320 Lake Avenue Ordinance #4, Series of 2012 Page 1 of 3 Tree Removal Permit 2009 -109 to authorize the removal of those trees. Restriction of development within the front yard and north side yard is governed by the dimensional requirements of the R -6 zone district, except as those requirements have been or may be varied by the City of Aspen Historic Preservation Commission or other authorized representative of the City of Aspen. Section 2: Recordation A subdivision exemption plat and subdivision exemption agreement shall be reviewed and approved by the Community Development Department and recorded in the office of the Pitkin County Clerk and Recorder within one hundred eighty (180) days of final approval by City Council. Failure to record the plat and subdivision exemption agreement within the specified time limit shall render the plat invalid and reconsideration of the plat by City Council will be required for a showing of good cause. Section 3: Severability If any section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase or portion of this ordinance is for any reason held invalid or unconstitutional in a court of competent jurisdiction, such portion shall be deemed a separate, distinct and independent provision and shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions thereof. Section 4: Existing Litigation This ordinance shall not have any effect on existing litigation and shall not operate as an abatement of any action or proceeding now pending under or by virtue of the ordinances amended as herein provided, and the same shall be construed and concluded under such prior ordinances. Section 5: Vested Rights The Land Use entitlements granted herein shall be vested for a period of three (3) years from the date of issuance of a development order. However, any failure to abide by any of the terms and conditions attendant to this approval shall result in the forfeiture of said vested property rights. Unless otherwise exempted or extended, failure to properly record all plats and agreements required to be recorded, as specified herein, within 180 days of the effective date of the development order shall also result in the forfeiture of said vested property rights and shall render the development order void within the meaning of Section 26.104.050 (Void permits). Zoning that is not part of the approved site - specific development plan shall not result in the creation of a vested property right. No later than fourteen (14) days following final approval of all requisite reviews necessary to obtain a development order as set forth in this Ordinance, including Final Major Development and Commercial Design Reviews by the HPC, the City Clerk shall cause to be published in a newspaper of general circulation within the jurisdictional boundaries of the City of Aspen, a notice advising the general public of the approval of a site specific development plan and creation of a vested property right pursuant to this Title. Such notice shall be substantially in the following form: Notice is hereby given to the general public of the approval of a site specific development plan, and the creation of a vested property right, valid for a period of three (3) years, pursuant to the Land 320 Lake Avenue Ordinance #4, Series of 2012 Page 2 of 3 Use Code of the City of Aspen and Title 24, Article 68, Colorado Revised Statutes, pertaining to the following described property: 320 Lake Avenue, Parcel I of the Marshall Lot Split, Aspen . Nothing in this approval shall exempt the development order from subsequent reviews and approvals required by this approval of the general rules, regulations and ordinances or the City of Aspen provided that such reviews and approvals are not inconsistent with this approval. The approval granted hereby shall be subject to all rights of referendum and judicial review; the period of time permitted by law for the exercise of such rights shall not begin to run until the date of publication of the notice of final development approval as required under Section 26.304.070(A). The rights of referendum shall be limited as set forth in the Colorado Constitution and the Aspen Home Rule Charter. Section 6: Public Hearing A public hearing on the ordinance shall be held on the 27 day of February, 2012 in the City Council Chambers, Aspen City Hall, Aspen, Colorado, fifteen (15) days prior to which hearing a public notice of the same was published in a newspaper of general circulation within the City of Aspen.

Galena Aspen, Colorado 81611 Re: Amendment of Plat for 320 Lake Avenue, Aspen, Colorado. Dear Amy: This letter represents the next phase of the application of 320 Aspen, LLC (the "Applicant") for development of 320 Lake Avenue in Aspen (the "Property"). As discussed below, the Applicant seeks to eliminate a note found on the Marshall Lot Split Plat (the "Plat") which restricts development along the south edge of the Property. It appears that the note was originally included on the Plat to protect three large cottonwood trees, which have now become old and in need of removal. The Aspen Historic Preservation Commission ( "HPC ") recently granted conceptual approval to a development plan for the Property which requires use of some of the land restricted by the plat note. To accomplish that development plan, the Applicant requests a modification of the plat to remove the relevant note pursuant Section 26.480.080 B. of the City of Aspen Land Use Code (the "Code "). The legal description of the Property is Parcel 1, Marshall Lot Split, according to the Plat thereof recorded January 26, 1988 in Plat Book, 20 at Page 54.Pitkin County, Colorado ( "the Property"). In the late 1980s the City approved a subdivision exemption for a 13,603 square foot lot owned by Ronnie Marshall. The City's decision authorized the filing of the Plat which created two smaller parcels, designated Lots I and 1I. A copy of the original Plat is enclosed with this letter as Exhibit A. A note found on the original plat restricts development in an area which in 1988 was occupied by three large cottonwood trees. While those three trees still exist, the City's Parks Department has determined that the integrity of the three subject trees has been compromised by age and decay Ms. Amy Guthrie December 30, 2011 Page 2 and that the trees should now be removed. A permit for removal of the trees has been issued by the City. Copies of a letter from the City Forester and an Addendum to the resulting permit, which describe these findings, are enclosed with this application as Exhibit B. The HPC granted Conceptual Approval to the Applicant's preservation and development proposal for the Property on Wednesday, December 14, 2011. While this part of the application does not involve the City's Historic Preservation Guidelines or the historic preservation provisions of the Aspen Land Use Code (the "Code "), the request made in this letter is fully consistent with the HPC approval. Code Section 26.480.080 B. provides that a plat may be approved by City Council without completion of an entirely new subdivision process when "the proposed change is consistent with the approved plat." The original Plat was originally approved by City Council for the purpose of permitting development of each of the two parcels resulting from the lot split in a manner consistent with the Property's natural constraints. One of the most obvious of those natural constraints was the existence of three cottonwoods near the south boundary of Lot I. Glenn Horn was the City's planner who presented the application to Council on November 23, 1987. As recorded in the minutes of that meeting, Hom said it is doubtful there will be an addition on the south side as there are 3 tremendous cottonwoods which set the tone for the whole parcel. Horn said it is unlikely the applicant would be permitted to remove those trees. Mayor Stirling suggested adding a condition to preserve the existing front setback and the south side setback. Councilman Gassman moved to add condition 9 that an addition to the existing house not encroach into the sideyard more than it does and not encroach more to the south than it does on parcel 1; seconded by Mayor Stirling. All in favor, motion carried. A copy of these minutes is included with this application as Exhibit C. Unfortunately no copy of the staff memorandum or the City Council resolution of approval survives. However, these minutes appear to fully explain how the plat note at issue here was first authorized by Council. The limitation added to the 1987 approval as condition 9 was memorialized on the Plat by the following language: "An addition to the existing house will not encroach into the existing side and front yard for Parcel I." An enlargement of that portion of the Plat which included this note is found on Exhibit D, attached hereto. A proposed First Amended Plat for Lot I, Marshall Lot Split (the "Proposed Amended Plat "), in both 24" x 36" (one copy) and 11" x 17" format (15 copies), has been filed with this application. The Proposed Amended Plat meets all of the City Engineer's requirements for documents of this type. The only substantive change effected in the Proposed Amended Plat is that found in the note found in the center bottom of the document: Ms. Amy Guthrie December 30, 2011 Page 3 The execution and recording of this Amended Plat memorializes the vacation of the first Plat Note found on the Plat for Marshall Lot Split, recorded in the real property records of Pitkin County on January 26, 1988 in Plat Book 20 at Page 54, as such vacation was approved by the City of Aspen in Resolution No. Series of 2012. The Plat Note, which restricted development into the existing side and front yard for Parcel I, is no longer needed as it restricts development within the south side yard because the trees located on the south side of Parcel 1 have become old and diseased. The City of Aspen Parks Department has issued Tree Removal Permit 2009 -109 to authorize the removal of those trees. Restriction of development within the front yard and north side yard is govemed by the dimensional requirements of the R -6 zone district, except as those requirement have been or may be varied by the City of Aspen Historic Preservation Commission or other authorized representative of the City of Aspen. We understand that you need to re- review the "common development review procedures" set forth in Section 26.304 of the Code. Our responses to those procedures, which were also included in our request for Conceptual Approval from the HPC, are included with this application as Exhibit E. Copies of a letter of authorization and of the fee agreement are attached hereto as Exhibit F. A copy of the proposed Amendment of Plat is also submitted with this application. Sincerely, E.

Exhibit B PARK & RECREATION October 20, 2009 Rowland and Broughton Architecture and Urban Design 117 South Monarch Street Aspen, Colorado 81611 RE_ 320 Lake Avenue; 3 narrowleaf cottonwoods To Whom It May Concern: The purpose of this document is to summarize the findings by the City Forester upon investigation of 3 narrowleaf cottonwoods (Populus angustifolia) on the south side of the property located at 320 Lake Avenue in Aspen, Colorado. This investigation was completed to determine the health and structural stability of these trees in response to the request for them to be removed. Each tree was investigated separately using a resistograph on the trunks as well as in the canopies. The resistograph is a tool that allows the operator to measure and reap internal decay pockets without causing harm to the living tree_ An arborist, chosen and hired by the applicant, was used to conduct the investigation in the canopies with guidance from the City Forester. Resistograph results will be attached to this document along with written explanations/diagrams of these test areas in each tree. Formulas utilized to determine strength loss and the threshold for labeling hazard trees come from Wagener 1963 and Mattheck and Breloer 1998, respectfully. The strength loss formula is as follows: strength loss = (diameter of decayed wood) ^3 / (diameter of trunk)^3 x 100 The hazard tree threshold formula is as follows: t+ R; where t is the thickness of sound wood remaining in the thinnest remaining wall and R is the radius of the decay pocket plus the remaining wall thickness. East most tree; furthest from Lake Avenue This cottonwood has an outside bark diameter of 35 inches, with approximately a 2 inch bark Layer. There have been some large wounds Left behind in the canopy of this tree due to past pruning. The upper most lead of this tree has a significant amount of decay due to one of these old wounds. Just below this main leader, at the point where another large scaffolding branch is located, the decay pocket ends. The resistograph was utilized at this branch union to determine structural integrity, and adequate sound wood was found. It is my recommendation that the above referenced upper leader be pruned at the branch union of said scaffold branch. No other threatening issues were found in the canopy of this tree. After a resistograph inspection of the trunk of this tree, 2 feet above grade, it was determined that a decay pocket existed with an average diameter of 19 inches. This decay pocket was off center inside the trunk, favoring the south east direction. The thinnest strip of sound wood on this south east side is 3.5 inches in diameter. The strength loss formula yielded a loss of 23% in this trees strength as a result of this decay. The hazard tree threshold formula resulted in 0.3, which indicates that this tree should not fail due to this defect. It is the Parks Department's position that this tree shall remain on site and continue to be a major contributor to the community forest, with the consideration that the upper lead (described above) be removed as a safety precaution. The removal of that particular branch is a decision to be made by the owner if they choose to do so. Middle tree This cottonwood has an outside bark diameter of 31 inches, with approximately a 2 inch bark layer. Again, there have been some major wounds created in the central lead of this tree which have lead to extensive decay. Unlike the east most tree, there isn't a good location to prune out this decayed leader without taking the tree completely out. The resistograph results in this area showed no sound wood on the west/north west side of the trunk, accompanied by several woodpecker cavities. The trunk of the tree was resistographed and a decay pocket was detected with a diameter of 18 inches. The thinnest strip of sound wood was on the south side of the tree and measured 3.5 inches. The strength loss formula resulted in a 29% loss, while the hazard threshold formula resulted in 0.29. When the threshold formula results in anything less than 0.3, the tree is more likely to fail. Due to the extensive decay in the canopy with nowhere to prune back to, it is the Parks Department's position that this tree should be removed before structural failure of the crown can cause damage to the home. West most tree; closest to Lake Avenue This cottonwood has an outside bark diameter of 29 inches, with approximately a 2 inch bark layer. There is one area where an old pruning cut has caused a large wound in one of the main leaders of this tree. It was explored with the resistograph and no significant decay was detected. All other areas of the canopy seemed normal. The trunk was resistographed at 2 feet above grade, resulting in a decay pocket that averaged 16 inches in diameter. The thinnest strip of sound wood was on the east and south east sides of the tree, measuring 3 inches in both places. The strength loss formula resulted in a loss of 26%, while the threshold formula resulted in 0.26. This threshold reading, significantly less than the 0.3 level, indicates that this tree has a higher potential for structural failure. It is the Parks Department's position that this tree be removed to mitigate the possibility of structural failure of the entire tree at the point of decay. In summary, it was found that all three trees have pockets of decay in the trunks, though the middle and west trees resulted in a rating of `hazardous' according to Mattheck and Breloer's formula. The east tree has a hazard in the canopy in the form of one decayed lead which should be removed if the owner chooses to do so. It is recommended that this east tree be placed on a monitoring plan, in which the Parks Department is happy to help with, to keep an eye on the potential advancement of the decay pocket in the trunk. The middle and west trees should be removed at this time to avoid potential failure.

H MUST BE POSTED ON PROPERTY Addendum to Permit #2009 -109, 320 Lake Avenue The owner at 320 Lake Avenue has requested the removal of 3 Large narrowleaf cottonwood trees, on the south side of the property, in order to expand/relocate the current structure. The expansion desired would require the removal of all 3 trees. Each tree was investigated separately using a resistograph on the trunks as well as in the canopies. After extensive review of the inspection outputs, the Parks Department has permitted the removal of 2 of these trees due to their cUITent condition of having an unacceptable amount of decay within their boles and canopies. The third tree was determined to be of borderline structural integrity and was originally required to be preserved in an effort to maintain some of the valuable tree resources on this property. Upon further extensive scientific investigation into the crown of this tree, it has been determined that the tree has a limited life expectancy coupled with marginal structural integrity. It is for these reasons that the Parks Department shall grant the removal of this third narrowleaf cottonwood tree, as originally requested by the applicant. The applicant must provide the City Forester copies of approved building permits at 320 Lake Avenue prior to the removal of the tree. At that thne, this addendum shall be validated and the tree may be removed with no further documentation required. The original permit contains information regarding the middle and west trees and is considered accurate and applicable to the project site. The original permit and this addendum shall be kept onsite.

Abel said t'- city has requested RFTA do the improvements to the alley as -rt of the Rubey park project. Abel said it is necessary to a.. opriate revenues from the city and expenditures for this project. Abel told Council early in the project it became apparent it wo. . be appropriate to remove the trees off the site and replace it -•th new landscaping. Abel said this resolution also incorporates -.e contributions from Hadid Aspen Holdings to refund part of the t - sportation study. Councilman Tuite asked if the city has replaced ido's fence. Abel said it has not been replaced. The project is o ,old for the alley work due to weather. Councilman Tuite said he -, Id like the fence repaired regardless. Councilwoman Fallin moved to approve the supplemental .- .ropria- tion for RFTA; seconded by Councilman Tuite. All in : or, Lam' SPLIT - Marshall Glenn Horn, planning office, told Council this is an application for subdivision exception to create a lot exempt from growth management. The existing parcel is about 13,000 square feet. This parcel is located on Lake avenue overlooking Hallam lake. Horn told Council the parcel is heavily wooded and has a small Victorian house on it, which is historically designated. Horn said the pertinent issue is the impact on Hallam lake and the adjacent property owners. Horn told Council staff has worked with the applicant in setting a complete building envelope on the newly created parcel and a partial building envelope on the existing parcel to protect Hallam lake and the neighbors. Horn pointed out there are a lot of trees on the parcel, which the applicant has committed to replanting or replacing. The appli- cant has also committed to take a new house on parcel 2 through a voluntary review of HPC. The applicant has met with Hallam lake representatives, who has added conditions or the approval. Based on the setbacks, the building envelopes and the conditions outlined, P s Z and staff both recommend approval. Jane Ellen Hamilton, representing the applicant, told council the applicant acceded to every request from Hallam Lake. The applicant has also voluntarily increased the setback quite significantly from what the Code requires. Ms. Hamilton said the applicant will commit to relocating the trees that will have be to taken out to build the building. Mayor Stirling opened the public hearing. Mayor Stirling read into the record a telegram strongly opposed to this lot split 9 i f Apen City iY Regular Meet tna - November 23, 1987 from Victor Lundy. Bill Martin asked if the present home is to be destroyed. Mayor Stirling said the house is a historic landmark. Ms. Hamilton said the applicant has no intentions of destroying the house. Councilman Gassman said he does not see a building envelope on parcel 1. Horn said the applicant has agreed to limit the setback on the rear yard to 20 feet. Horn said he discussed with P sZ a front yard setback to maintain the existing front yard. P & Z did not support the recommendation to set the front yard setback in excess of the existing code. Horn said it is doubtful there will be an addition on the south side as there are 3 tremendous cottonwoods which set the tone for the whole parcel. Horn said it is unlikely the applicant would be permitted to remove those trees. Mayor Stirling suggested adding a condition to preserve the existing front setback and the south side setback. Councilman Gassman moved to add condition 9 that an addition to the existing house not encroach into the sideyard more than it does and not encroach more to the south than it does on parcel 1; seconded by Mayor Stirling. All in favor, motion carried. Councilman Isaac said it is unfortunate what has happened along Lake avenue. There has been a lot of development along the street. Councilman Gassman said he does not want to approve something in excess of the new R -6 regulations. Horn said the development will be subject to the new FAR regulations. Mayor Stirling closed the public hearing. Councilman Isaac moved to approve the Marshall subdivision exception and growth management exemption for the purpose of creating 2 lots with the 9 conditions listed in the planning office memorandum; seconded by Councilman Tuite. All in favor, with the exception of Councilwoman Fallin. Motion carried. Mayor Sti g said this public hearing will be continued to set the mill levy v December 9, 1987. Mayor Stirling opened the public hearing. Doug Carlson presented a prop. - prepared by Dick Butera as an alternative to spending $50,000 consulting fees for the parking structure. The proposal shows • story parking garage on the Rio Grande property that has as an ernative 24,000 square feet on top to be used for city /county = fices. 300 parking spaces could be provided in this parking garage. ouncil suggested this be discussed December 9th.

DESCRIPTION: Background: 320 Lake Avenue is located in the R -6 medium density residential zone district. There is no alley access: the house fronts Lake Avenue and the rear of the property overlooks Hallam Lake. Only one curb cut will be permitted for this parcel. The subject lot contains a 19th century designated landmark and is defined as Parcel 1 of the Marshall Lot Split. An unoriginal addition is evident on the north and rear (east) elevations of the historic house. The south and front (west) elevations appear to be in the original condition. No documentation has been found to indicate whether the house is in its original location and an inspection of the basementicrawl space has not been attempted. Staff suggests the applicant check the maps and photographs at the Aspen Historical Society to possibly determine the original location and appearance of the home. The Marshall Lot Split was approved by City Council in 1987 that created Parcel I and Parcel II. A plat was recorded, however an Ordinance was never drafted or recorded. The plat notes state the following: "1. An addition to the existing house will not encroach into the existing side and front yard for Parcel I; 2. No decks or similar structures shall be constructed outside the building envelope! The plat indicates that the rear yard setback for Parcel I is 20' from the property line. The building envelope for Parcel I is defined on the plat as the footprint of the existing building, with the exception of the rear yard setback of 20'. As stated in the plat notes, no additions are permitted in the front and side yards. An amendment to the subdivision plat and envelope will be required to permit development in these areas of the lot. Mature vegetation exists on the site that will require approval from the Parks Department to remove. Staff understands that Parks granted approval to remove 2 of the 3 cottonwoods along the south property line, and the applicant is appealing the denial of the 3m tree removal request. Proposal: The applicant would like to relocate the historic home on Parcel 1 toward Lake Avenue, construct an addition that includes a two car garage and a two story living space, and apply for the 500 square foot FAR Bonus for landmark structures. HPC has purview over any development on Parcel I, Including landscape, and will assess the proposal's compliance with the Aspen Historic Preservation Design Guidelines for Landmarks (available at www.aspenpitkin.com.) The project is required to meet the Residential Design Standards. Due to the landmark status of the building and the confines of the lot, setback variances and Residential Design Standard Variances are probable for this project, which can be granted by HPC. Hallam Lake Bluff and possibly Stream Margin reviews are required for development at the rear of this parcel, which will occur at HPC as part of a consolidated application. A recent survey should be undertaken to plot the areas on the parcel that are subject to these reviews. Setbacks: The combined side yard setback dimension for this property will be calculated based on the entire lot size, which excludes any slope reductions for the property. The HPC will review the requested setback variances for a property within the R -6 zone district; however, City Council review is required to amend the subdivision plat to redefine the building envelope for Parcel I. If the proposed changes are consistent with the approved plat, Then the application will be processed as an 'other amendment" by City Council. If the proposed changes are found to not be consistent with the approved plat, then the amendment is subject to review as a new development application for plat. PROCESS: 1. Worksession with HPC. 2.

Galena Street Aspen, CO 81611 Dear Ms. Guthrie, I am the owner of 320 Lake Avenue, Aspen, Colorado 81611 (the "Property"). Please accept the enclosed application to amend the Plat for the Marshall Lot Split pursuant to Section 26.480.080 B. of the City of Aspen Land Use Code. 320 Aspen, LLC, represented by attorney Michael Hoffman, Esq., Garfield & Hecht, P.C., 601 E. Hyman Avenue, Aspen, CO 81611, is authorized to submit and prosecute this application. S; ncerely, Ronnie Marshall CO\IijLNIT1 DEVELOPMENT DE1):‘12TiMLNT Land Use Review Fee Policy The City of Aspen has established a review fee policy for the processing of land use applications. A flat fee or deposit is collected for land use applications based on the type of application submitted. A flat fee is collected by Community Development for applications which normally take a minimal and predictable amount of staff time to process. Review fees for other City departments reviewing the application (referral departments) will also be collected when necessary. Flat fees are cumulative — meaning an application with multiple flat fees must pay the sum of those flat fees. Flat fees are not refundable. A review fee deposit is collected by Community Development when more extensive staff review is required. Actual staff time spent will be charged against the deposit. Various City staff may also charge their time spent on the case in addition to the case planner. Deposit amounts may be reduced if, in the opinion of the Community Development Director, the project is expected to take significantly less time to process than the deposit indicates. A determination on the deposit amount shall be made during the pre-application conference by the case planner. Hourly billing shall still apply. All applications must include an Agreement to Pay Application Fees. One payment including the deposit for Planning and referral agency fees must be submitted with each land use application, made payable to the City of Aspen. Applications will not be accepted for processing without the required application fee. The Community Development Department shall keep an accurate record of the actual time required for the processing of a land use application requiring a deposit. The City can provide a summary report of fees due at the applicant's request. The applicant will be billed for the additional costs incurred by the City when the processing of an application by the Community Development Department takes more time or expense than is covered by the deposit. Any direct costs attributable to a project review shall be billed to the applicant with no additional administrative charge. In the event the processing of an application takes less time than provided for by the deposit, the department shall refund the unused portion of the deposited fee to the applicant. Fees shall be due regardless of whether an applicant receives approval. Unless otherwise combined by the Director for simplicity of billing, all applications for conceptual, final, and recordation of approval documents shall be handled as individual cases for the purposes of billing. Upon conceptual approval all billing shall be reconciled and all past due invoices shall be paid prior to the Director accepting an application for final review. Final review shall require a new deposit at the rate in effect at the time of final application submission. Upon final approval all billing shall again be reconciled prior to the Director accepting an application for review of technical documents for recordation. The Community Development Director may cease processing of a land use application for which an unpaid invoice is 30 or more days past due. Unpaid invoices of 90 or more days past due may be assessed a late fee of 1.75% per month. An unpaid invoice of 120 days or more may be subject to additional actions as may be assigned by the Municipal Court Judge. All payment information is public domain. All invoices shall be paid prior to issuance of a Development Order or recordation of development agreements and plats. The City will not accept a building permit for a property until all invoices are paid in full. For permits already accepted, an unpaid invoice of 90 or more days may result in cessation of building permit processing or issuance of a stop work order until full payment is made. The property owner of record is the party responsible for payment of all costs associated with a land use application for the property. Any secondary agreement between a property owner and an applicant representing the owner (e.g. a contract purchaser) regarding payment of fees is solely between those private parties.

One change in the document related to the authority the document should have in land use case review. Staff recommended, and the P &Z voted, that the document should be "guiding" in nature, meaning that development applications should not be subject to the specific language of the AACP. In addition, the City Planning and Zoning Commission approved a Resolution on January 31, 2012 recommending City Council approve a number of code amendments related to compliance with the AACP and general review procedures. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends City Council adopt the AACP as a guiding document and adopt related code amendments. STAFF NOTE: This memo is the same as was provided at the February 27` meeting. City Council gave feedback on the call -up provisions for Commercial Design Review and Conceptual HPC review, requesting that staff incorporate the call -up into the regular City Council agendas. Staff proposes that any conceptual design approval be placed on City Council's agenda within 30 days of the approval. This language has been incorporated into Sections 20 and 21 of the Ordinance. No other changes have been made to the Ordinance. BACKGROUND & OVERVIEW: Since 2000, the P &Z, HPC and City Council have often relied on certain language in the 2000 AACP as part of their review of development applications, often regarding the need for new development to be compatible in mass, scale etc. with the surrounding neighborhood. While the land use code contains similar language /criteria for some review processes, such language /criteria is not included for all types of reviews. These "gaps" in the code have resulted in review boards citing the 2000 AACP to retain authority over "compatibility" and related issues. With the new AACP identified as "guiding" only, staff is recommending inserting "compatibility" language into the land use code where it is not currently present, so that review boards retain the authority they have grown accustomed to, in all type of land use review. Page 1 of 11 There are currently sixteen (16) review criteria in the Land Use Code that call for general compliance or consistency with the Aspen Area Community Plan. Because the updated AACP is to be used in a guiding capacity, these references need to be amended. Staff proposes replacing these general statements with much more specific review criteria to ensure review boards retain their existing authority. These review criteria are outlined in more detail below. In the past, staff has referred to these as "gap" code amendments because they are intended to cover the "gap" created by changing the AACP from a regulatory document to a guiding document. In addition, staff recommends adding criteria to the Land Use Code related to neighborhood outreach prior to the submission of development applications. Such public outreach is referenced in the 2000 AACP, and staff believes it is a step that should be part of the regular land use process. P &Z approved Resolution 3, Series of 2012, recommending City Council adopt code amendments amending the 16 review criteria requiring compliance with the AACP, and adding a neighborhood outreach requirement. This is attached as Exhibit P. minutes from these meetings are attached as Exhibit Q. Finally, staff recommends some changes to the review procedures related to Commercial Design Review to ensure review authority is maintained. HPC and P &Z reviewed a code amendment related to this in 2009. P &Z approved Resolution 17, Series of 2009, recommending City Council adopt a code amendment changing the nature of Commercial Design Review and Conceptual HPC Review. This is attached as Exhibit L. CODE AMENDMENT REVIEW PROCEDURES: The following is the review procedure for adopting a guiding community plan: • Pursuant to Land Use Code Section 26.208.010(1), City Council has the authority to adopt by resolution or ordinance any plans, guidelines, or documents that will be used in a guiding or regulatory capacity by the city. • Pursuant to Land Use Code Section 26.212.010(R), the Planning and Zoning Commission has the authority to adopt by resolution any plans, guidelines, or documents that will be used in a guiding capacity by the Commission. The following is the review procedure for amendments to the land use code: • Pursuant to Land Use Code Section 26.310.040, City Council is the final review authoritv following a recommendation from the Planning & Zoning Commission for all code amendments. STAFF COMMENTS: ASPEN AREA COMMUNITY PLAN ADOPTION The City and County Planning and Zoning Commissions adopted an updated Aspen Area Community Plan (AACP) on November 15, 2011. City Council was provided with a hard copy of the document as part of this packet, it is also attached by reference as Exhibit 0 and available online at www.AspenCommunityVision.com and clicking on the "Latest Document" link. The document is before City Council for consideration, and the P &Zs' resolution approving the document is attached as Exhibit M. The AACP is the community plan for the City of Aspen. It is an aspirational document that is used to guide budget priorities, department work programs, and potential code or policy changes. Page 2 of 11 The P &Zs met jointly from March 2009 — November 2011 to review and adopt the plan. The considered public feedback from small group meetings, surveys, large group clicker -style meetings, public comments at their meetings, as well as existing conditions work. All of this information is available on the AACP project website: www.AspenCommunitvVision.com. The plan before City Council is the version adopted by the P &Zs. City Council may adopt the plan without changes, add an addendum to the plan outlining any concerns or policy differences Council may have, or adopt a revised version of the plan. P &Z and staff recommended the AACP be adopted as a guiding document. In order to replace the 2000 AACP with this updated plan, City Council must approve, by ordinance, rescinding the 2000 AACP. Council may adopt/endorse the 2011/2012 AACP by Ordinance or Resolution. For simplicity, the Ordinance includes rescinding the 2000 AACP and adopting the 2011/2012 AACP. Code amendments addressing review criteria that require consistency with the AACP are outlined later in the memo and are included in the Ordinance. Staff recommends adopting all three actions in one Ordinance to ensure there are no gaps in the Land Use Code related to the AACP. City Council held a series of work sessions in 2011 to review the draft AACP. Council comments from those meetings are outlined below, but are not incorporated into the draft before City Council.

LIFELONG ASPENITE CHAPTER • Add references to careers, jobs, and trainings, as well as working to have an economy that allows Aspenites to be active, contributing members throughout their lives to the Philosophy section. • Consider re- arranging the paragraphs in the "What's Changed Since 2000" for better clarity. • Remove the Proposed Code Amendment label from Policy III.1. GENERAL COMMENTS • Consider changing all references to mitigating impacts to state "mitigate all reasonable, directly related impacts." PROPOSED CODE AMENDMENTS City Council requested that staff provide a list of all the "Proposed Code Amendments" in the 2011 /2012 AACP. A complete list, by chapter is attached as Exhibit N. There are 37 Policy Statements identified as Proposed Code Amendments. STAFF COMMENTS: CODE AMENDMENTS Staff has used the direction provided from the Wienerstube case to inform the AACP gap code amendments. Specifically, staff has proposed language to create a new, specific, requirement for neighborhood outreach as well as adding criteria to SPA, PUD, and Subdivision that require new development be "compatible with or enhance the mix of development in the immediate vicinity of the parcel in terms of land use, density, height, bulk, architecture, landscaping and open space, while emphasizing quality construction and design." Page 4 of 11 Each proposed code amendment is outlined below. The amendments have been limited to strictly address maintaining the existing authority the P &Z, HPC, and City Council currently have when reviewing development proposals. The full text of the existing code sections, as well as the proposed redlines, is attached in Exhibits B - K. The proposed amendments do not address other substantive changes that are called for in the 2011 AACP — a separate City Council work session has been scheduled for March 5, 2012 to prioritize those potential code amendments. The Planning and Zoning Commission is scheduled to meet on February 7, 2012 to review their recommended priorities. NEIGHBORHOOD OUTREACH - EXHIBIT B The 2000 AACP includes language that has been used by City Council to request an applicant conduct enhanced public outreach: • "The genuine character of our community should be measured by the quality of our human interactions, not by the physical look or man-made artifacts or the magnificent beauties of surrounding nature around us...We must elevate the best interest of people and we must demonstrate our good will toward each other and all comers." (pg 7 -8 of 2000 AACP). • "...the character of the built environment in Aspen is maintained through public outreach and education about quality design, historical context, and the influence of the existing built and natural environments." (pg 42 of 2000 AACP) Staff has added a section to the Common Development Review Procedures, section 26.304, to require all major projects to conduct a form of enhanced public outreach. The applicant has a choice of a number of public outreach methods, including holding a meeting, conducting a survey, or preparing a "enhanced" public notice that includes more detailed information than current noticing requirements. Staff originally proposed that any project being reviewed by City Council, or any project deemed by the Community Development Department to be significant, be required to conduct some form of public outreach prior to the first public hearing. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended that the "trigger point" for neighborhood outreach be changed to any project that "includes variances to the height, mass, scale, or setbacks beyond that allowed in underlying zoning, and any project that is subject to a COWOP, PUD, or Rezoning review." They had a very thorough discussion about what the appropriate "trigger point" would be, and ultimately determined that required neighborhood outreach should be related to buildings that significantly change the character of the area, vary from the underlying zone district dimensions, or are the subject of a PUD, COWOP, or Rezoning. As staff began preparing this memo, we realized that this trigger point would require any administrative PUD amendment to conduct neighborhood outreach, even though a public hearing is not required, and that it would not have clearly applied to the Wienerstube development. While the language allows the Community Development Department to require a development to conduct neighborhood outreach that does not fall under the identified "trigger point," staff believes a different trigger point that would have clearly applied to the Wienerstube development is a better solution. Page 5 of 11 Staff's recommended language, requiring any project subject to City Council review to conduct neighborhood outreach, has been included in the Ordinance. If City Council determines that P &Z's suggested language is appropriate, Staff recommends that it be amended to exempt administrative applications. Staff does not believe a project that qualifies for an administrative review because of its minor scope, such as a minor PUD Amendment, should be required to provide this kind of neighborhood outreach. Staff recommends City Council discuss the appropriate "trigger point" for this outreach. City Council should consider if enhanced public outreach should be a requirement, or if it should be a suggestion for all development proposals. Exhibit 13 includes proposed new section. AMENDMENTS TO THE LAND USE CODE AND ZONE DISTRICT MAP - EXHIBIT C The current code requires code changes or rezoning proposals to meet nine review criteria in section 26.310, including the need to be consistent with the AACP. Because of the differing nature between rezonings and code amendments, the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended that the review criteria be separated into two different sections. Staff supports this change, as it makes the review process clearer. The review criteria requiring compliance with the AACP has been removed from the rezoning review criteria, as it does not relate well to the on- the - ground review. Code amendments are fundamentally different from reviewing land use cases — they should reflect the overarching community goals and aspirations, which may not be formally adopted. The code amendment process itself enables a broad -based conversation about how our code can implement community priorities. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended the AACP review criteria for Code Amendments be amended to state, "Whether the proposed amendment promotes the vision and philosophy of the Aspen Area Community Plan." Staff recommended broader language that did not directly reference the AACP: "Whether the proposed amendment furthers an adopted policy, community goal, or objective." This language enables the AACP to be referenced, as well as any other adopted city document or policy that provides broad policy direction. This language is common in other communities, and reflects the broad -based nature of debate when it comes to code amendments. Staff believes this revised language provides the ability for P &Z and City Council to review a potential code amendment or rezoning against community opinion and broad city policies. Exhibit C includes the full Review Criteria text as well as the proposed changes. VARIANCES - EXHIBIT D Land Use Code section 26.314 includes a provision to enable property owners with a clear hardship to request a variance from underlying dimensional requirements. This ability is required under state and case law. This section on variances currently includes two references to the AACP, which staff proposes eliminating. The aspirational nature of the AACP does not translate well to reviewing on- the - ground dimensional variances. Staff's experience is that the AACP is not a useful tool in the variance review process. Exhibit D includes the full Review Criteria text as well as the proposed changes. Page 6 of 11 CONDITIONAL USES - EXHIBIT E Land Use Code section 26.425 includes six criteria to review applications for Conditional Uses, including one requiring consistency with the AACP. Staff proposes amending this criterion to state: "The conditional use is consistent with the intent of the Zone District in which it is proposed to be located and complies with all other applicable requirements of this Title." When reviewing uses that are appropriate or inappropriate for a specific location, the intent of the zone district, as well as the compatibility of the use with the immediate area (currently a review criteria) inform the review process in a more meaningful way than consistency with a community plan that is not site - specific. Staffs experience is that the AACP is not a useful tool in the conditional use review process. In addition, the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended adding a criterion that required the conditional use to be compatible with the surrounding built environment and any applicable adopted regulator master plans. Exhibit E includes the full Review Criteria text as well as the proposed changes. ESA — 8040 GREENLINE REVIEW - EXHIBIT F Any development within 150 feet of the 8040 elevation line is required go through a heightened review with P &Z to ensure it is sensitive to the natural environment and visual quality of the mountainside. One review criteria references the AACP Parks, Recreation, and Trails Plan. Staff received feedback from the Parks Department, and they are working on a plan containing more specific information than the AACP, which they use to guide their 8040 Greenline referrals. Staff has proposed replacing the AACP reference with the Parks Department plan. Exhibit F includes the full Review Criteria text as well as the proposed changes. ESA — STREAM MARGIN REVIEW - EXHIBIT F Any development within 100 feet of the Roaring Fork River is required go through a heightened administrative review with P &Z to ensure it is sensitive to the natural environment and quality of the river. One review criteria references the AACP Parks, Recreation, and Trails Plan. Staff received feedback from the Parks Department, and they are working on a plan containing more specific information than the AACP, which they use to guide their Stream Margin referrals. Staff has proposed replacing the AACP reference with the Parks Department plan. Exhibit F includes the full Review Criteria text as well as the proposed changes. SPECIALLY PLANNED AREA (SPA) — EXHIBIT G SPAs provide flexibility when special circumstances exist on a parcel, and the process requires creative land planning techniques while allowing use and dimensional variations. The first SPA review criteria calls for consideration of "Whether the proposed development is compatible with or enhances the mix of development in the immediate vicinity of the parcel in terms of land use, density, height, bulk, architecture, landscaping and open space." Staff believes that with some additions, the first SPA review criteria provides the ability to review the mass, scale, neighborhood compatibility, and design quality, and provides a model for changes in PUD and Subdivision. The Planning and Zoning Commission suggested adding a requirement to comply with any applicable regulatory master plan. Page 7 of 11 There is also a review criterion requiring consistency with the AACP. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended replacing this requirement with a requirement to use quality construction and design techniques. These changes strengthens the existing SPA review criteria and reflects how the AACP has been used to review SPAs. Exhibit G includes the full Review Criteria text as well as the proposed changes. PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT (PUD) — EXHIBIT H PUDs provide flexibility in the planning process and encourage flexibility and innovation in development. They allow changes to the underlying dimensional requirements if they will result in greater compatibility with the surrounding land uses and development. The PUD criteria are very detailed, and cover topics ranging from architectural design to transportation to site access. The existing criteria are quite comprehensive, and allow flexibility and discretion in P &Zs and Council's review. The full review criteria are attached in Exhibit H - some specific sections that address compatibility the neighborhood include Sections 26.445.050 B.1, B.2, C.1, C.2, and E.1. There is one criterion requiring consistency with the AACP. Staff suggests amending that criterion to reflect the mass and scale criterion in SPA: "The proposed development shall be compatible with the mix of development in the immediate vicinity of the parcel in terms of density, height, bulk, and architecture, as well as with any applicable adopted regulatory master plan." In addition, a criterion to allow changes to the maximum density of a project is included in the PUD section. Staff proposes eliminating the AACP language. In staffs experience, the general, aspirational language of the AACP does not provide meaningful direction in this instance. Finally, there are three review criteria related to Architectural character. Staff proposes adding similar language as the SPA change to ensure quality construction and design are included in all PUDs. Exhibit H includes the full Review Criteria text as well as the proposed changes. GROWTH MANAGEMENT - EXHIBIT I Any project that creates new net livable or net leasable space is required to go through the Growth Management Quota System. There is one criterion requiring consistency with the AACP. In staff's experience, the AACP has not an effective tool in the GMQS review process. Staff suggests amending that criterion to reflect the fact that the GMQS review is mostly concerned with uses (what goes on inside the building), not mass and scale (what the building looks like): "The proposed development is compatible with land uses in the surrounding area, as well as with any applicable adopted regulatory master plan." In addition, each year City Council meets to discuss if any unused Growth Management allotments should be rolled -over to the next year. One criterion requires consistency with the AACP, which staff proposes to eliminate. The review is a technical accounting review, and the AACP and other adopted area plans do not provide good direction for the review. Page 8 of 11 Exhibit I includes the full Review Criteria text as well as the proposed changes. SUBDIVISION - EXHIBIT J Any project that creates new units of land is required to go through the subdivision process. There is one criteria requiring consistency with the AACP. Staff suggests amending that criterion to reflect the mass and scale criterion in the SPA section: : "The proposed development shall be compatible with the mix of development in the immediate vicinity of the parcel in terms of density, height, bulk, and architecture, as well as with any applicable adopted regulatory master plan." In addition, one criterion allows changes to Engineering standards if the proposed engineering design is compatible with the AACP. Staff proposes eliminating the language. The Engineering Department is supportive of the change, as they have far more comprehensive review standards than any language contained in the AACP. The language now requires compliance with any applicable adopted regulatory plan, the Engineering code, and the Municipal code in general. In addition, there is an incorrect reference in this section related to affordable housing mitigation, which staff recommends be replaced with the correct code citation. Exhibit J includes the full Review Criteria text as well as the proposed changes. OFF - STREET PARKING - EXHIBIT K The off - street parking section of the Land Use Code includes review criteria for commercial parking facilities. One criteria requires that the location, design, and operating characteristics of the facility be consistent with the AACP. Staff recommends eliminating this criterion. In staff's experience, the general, aspirational language of the AACP does not provide meaningful direction in this instance. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended adding language requiring compliance with an applicable regulatory plan, as well as the character of development in the area. Exhibit K includes the full Review Criteria text as well as the proposed changes. CITY COUNCIL CALL -UP OF COMMERCIAL DESIGN AND HPC CONCEPTUAL DECISIONS - ExHIBIT L City Council currently has the authority to call up certain design related approvals granted by the Historic Preservation Commission (HPC) and the Planning and Zoning Commission (P & Z) within thirty (30) days of approval. City Council's review of the application is limited to the record that was established at HPC or P &Z. City Council must make a finding as to whether the review board denied due process, exceeded its jurisdiction or abused its discretion. Staff proposes a number of code amendments to the procedure of City Council call -up of HPC and P &Z decisions. The code amendments allow for a de novo review, meaning new evidence and information can be used by City Council in their review. The code amendments are drafted such that City Council may review the application de novo and approve the application, remand it back to the reviewing board, or continue it to gather more information. The text was Page 9 of 11 recommended by HPC and P &Z when they reviewed the code amendments in 2009. Exhibit L includes a copy of P &Z Resolution recommending approval of the call-up code amendments. City Council may want to discuss if the call -up code amendments should also include the ability for Council to alter the conditions of approval or deny the application without remanding it back to the original review body. Below is a summary of the changes, labeled by Ordinance section: Section 20: Section 26.415.120 Appeals, Notice to City Council Call- up of HPC Decisions: This Section proposes to provide call -up notification to City Council after the approval of Conceptual review because the main issues (i.e. mass, scale, height, context, location) are considered and approved at this time. The call up period of 30 days is consistent with the existing regulations. Part D specifies that the Council review will be de novo. Staff proposes that Council consider the same review process and requirements criteria as the reviewing body when they conduct the "call up" review. Section 21: 26.412.040.B Appeals, Notice to City Council Call- up of Commercial Design Review Decisions: The proposed amendments mirror Section 19, except this section relates to Commercial Design Review decisions by the P & Z and HPC. Section 22: 26.415.070.D.3 HPC Conceptual Development Plan Review: This Section of the Historic Preservation Chapter of the Code outlines proposed requirements for call up after a Conceptual Design is approved. Staff proposes that the Community Development Director can extend the 1 year timeframe for submitting a Final Review application to HPC if there is a delay associated with call up review at Council. Section 23: 26.415.070.D.4 HPC Final Development Plan Review: Staff proposes to delete part b.4 that requires call up notification to Council after Final Development approval is granted by HPC. Staff finds that the call up notification is more appropriate after Conceptual approval because the primary aspects of the project are decided at that level. It seems unfair for an applicant to proceed through Final Review at HPC if the primary features of the project may warrant a de novo review by Council pursuant to the proposed call up provision. REFERRAL COMMENTS: Staff requested input from the Parks and Engineering Departments, as certain criterion referenced their plans and work program. Their comments were incorporated into the proposed changes. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the proposed code amendments and adoption of the 2011/2012 AACP as a guiding document.

In reviewing an amendment to the text of this Title or an amendment to the Official Zone District Map, the City Council and the Planning and Zoning Commission shall consider: A. Whether the proposed amendment is in conflict with any applicable portions of this Title. Staff Finding: The proposed amendments will clarify language in the code. Because the updated Aspen Area Community Plan (AACP) is being adopted as a guiding document, references to the AACP in the Land Use Code in Review Criteria need to be amended. The proposed amendments eliminate out of date language, replace certain references to the AACP with more specific review criteria, and improve to clarity of the code. Staff finds this criterion to be met. B. Whether the proposed amendment is consistent with all elements of the Aspen Area Community Plan. Staff Finding: The proposed amendments are intended to better reflect the concepts in the AACP. When reviewing a development proposal, the AACP is used to evaluate the mass, scale, and compatibility of a new building. Instead of referencing the AACP, the proposed amendments create more specific review criteria. Staff finds this criterion to be met. C. Whether the proposed amendment is compatible with surrounding zone districts and land uses, considering existing land use and neighborhood characteristics. Staff Finding: Staff finds this criterion is not applicable. D. The effect of the proposed amendment on traffic generation and road safety. Staff Finding: Staff finds this criterion is not applicable. E. Whether and the extent to which the proposed amendment would result in demands 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, sewage facilities, water supply, parks, drainage, schools and emergency medical facilities. Staff finds this criterion to be met. Staff Finding: Staff finds this criterion is not applicable. F. Whether and the extent to which the proposed amendment would result in significantly adverse impacts on the natural environment. Staff Finding: Staff finds this criterion is not applicable. G. Whether the proposed amendment is consistent and compatible with the community character in the City. Staff Finding: The proposed amendments are intended to better reflect the concepts in the AACP, which include direction that development should be consistent and compatible with the community. When reviewing a development proposal, the AACP is used to evaluate the mass, scale, and compatibility of a new building. Instead of referencing the AACP, the proposed amendments create more specific review criteria, including changes that more specifically require development to be compatible with the community. Staff finds this criterion to be met. II. Whether there have been changed conditions affecting the subject parcel or the surrounding neighborhood which support the proposed amendment. Staff Finding: The updated AACP is being adopted as a guiding document, requiring all references to the AACP in Review Criteria to be removed. Staff finds this criterion to be met. I. Whether the proposed amendment would be in conflict with the public interest and whether it is in harmony with the purpose and intent of this Title. Staff Finding: The updated AACP is being adopted as a guiding document, requiring all references to the AACP in Review Criteria to be removed. Staff finds this criterion to be met.

Standards applicable to variances. A. In order to authorize a variance from the dimensional requirements of Title 26, the appropriate decision - making body shall make a finding that the following three (3) circumstances exist: 1. The grant of variance will be generally consistent with the purposes, goals, objectives and policies of the Aspen Arca Community Plan and this Title 26 and the Municipal Code; and 2. The grant of variance is the minimum variance that will make possible the reasonable use of the parcel, building or structure; and 3. Literal interpretation and enforcement of the terms and provisions of this Title would deprive the applicant of rights commonly enjoyed by other parcels in the same zone district and would cause the applicant unnecessary hardship, as distinguished from mere inconvenience. In determining whether an applicant's rights would be deprived, the Board shall consider whether either of the following conditions apply: a. There are special conditions and circumstances which are unique to the parcel, building or structure, which are not applicable to other parcels, structures or buildings in the same zone district and which do not result from the actions of the applicant; or b. Granting the variance will not confer upon the applicant any special privilege denied by the Aspen Ar a Community Plan and the terms of this Title and the Municipal Code to other parcels, buildings or structures, in the same zone district. B. In order to authorize a variance from the permitted uses of Title 26, the appropriate decision - making body shall make a finding that all of the following circumstances exist: 1. Notice by publication, mailing and posting of the proposed variance has been provided to surrounding property owners in accordance with Subparagraphs 26.304.060.E.3.a. —c. Page 1 of 2 2. A variance is the only reasonable method by which to afford the applicant relief, and to deny a variance would cause the applicant unnecessary hardship such that the property would be rendered practically undevelopable, as distinguished from mere inconvenience. 4. The temporary off -site storage or construction staging can be undertaken in such a manner so as to minimize disruption, if any, of normal neighborhood activities surrounding the subject parcel. 5. If ownership of the off -site parcel subject to the proposed variance is not vested in the applicant, then verified written authorization of the parcel's owner must be provided. 6. Adequate provision is made to restore the subject parcel to its original condition upon expiration of the variance, including the posting of such financial security as deemed appropriate and necessary by the appropriate decision - making body to ensure such restoration.

A review of the Council meeting minutes from June 9, 2008 indicate that no reference to the AACP specifically was made. City Council, as well as members of the public, raised concerns related to the loss of parking in the proposal. They also expressed interest in a potential Master Plan process for the area. Staff expressed some concerns related to the pedestrian links in the site, and requested additional sidewalks and pedestrian amenity space. This application was reviewed under the SPA process. Staff primarily used Criteria 1 and 4 to discuss concerns related to pedestrian amenity and pedestrian links — is the development compatible with the area and does the development utilize creative land planning techniques and not the AACP review to recommend changes to the project. A review of the Council meeting minutes indicated the AACP was not cited. The applicant ultimately withdrew the application because they did not believe they could increase the amount of on -site parking given site and lease constraints. Bidwell/Mountain Plaza Subdivision The applicant came forward to redevelop the Bidwell Building on the corner of Galena St. and Cooper St. The project was denied by City Council in 2008, but was reconsidered at the applicant's request. At the January 11, 2010 City Council meeting, many of the concems raised by members of the public and City Council related to construction impacts the redevelopment would have. In addition, some members of the public cited the AACP, and stated they did not feel the project's height, mass, and scale fir in the context of the neighborhood. City Council cited construction impacts, neighborhood character and public amenity space, and the impacts the height and mass of the building would have on views. The concerns related to construction impacts are addressed in the Subdivision review criteria, not in the AACP. The AACP in general was cited in regard to height, mass, and neighborhood compatibility concerns. No specific quotes were used by City Council or the public. City Council reviewed the project again on April 26, 2010. Most of the comments from Council and the public were related to mass, scale, and neighborhood compatibility. In addition, there were some requests for additional neighborhood outreach. Councilman Romero stated that the conversion of free - market and commercial space originally proposed to more deed - restricted housing was supportive of the AACP, but he did not cite a specific section of the AACP. Mayor Ireland expressed concerns related to the conversion of commercial space to deed restricted housing because the proposal was for RO units which can be difficult to enforce. The project was continued to September 27, 2010. The applicant decided to withdraw the application on August 30, 2010. Page 1 of 2 Wienerstube Redevelopment The Wienerstube redevelopment proposal went through a number of public hearings with P &Z and City Council. City Council denied the project based on two criteria in the Subdivision Review — consistency with the AACP and the impact the proposal would have future development in the neighborhood. Their comments centered around the bulk, height, size and mass of the project, and its incompatibility with the neighborhood. IN addition, Council cited concerns that the applicant had not conducted neighborhood outreach as required in the AACP. Following the denial, the applicant sued the city, and the case was decided by District Judge Nichols. Her opinion cited three AACP statements related to neighborhood outreach, mass, scale, and neighborhood compatibility: • "Ensure the character of the built environment in Aspen is maintained through public outreach and education about quality design, historical context, and the influence of the existing built and natural environments." (pg 42 of 2000 AACP) • "The genuine character of our community should be measured by the quality of our human interactions, not by the physical look or man -made artifacts or the magnificent beauties of surrounding nature around us...We must elevate the best interest of people and we must demonstrate our good will toward each other and all comers." (pg 7 -8 of 2000 AACP). • "Housing should be compatible with the scale and character of the community and should emphasize quality construction and design even though that emphasis necessarily increases costs and lessens production." (pg 25 of 2000 AACP) In her opinion, she specifically calls out the first bullet point above as "the only specified provision that could provide the basis for AACP `requirements' as repeatedly stated by the public and City Council" in their review. The court found that this statement was "...a reasonable source for City Council's understanding that maintaining the character of the existing neighborhood is a goal of the AACP and that reaching out to the public is required to accomplish that goal..." The court concluded that the first bullet point above "was sufficiently specific so as to permit this Court to review City Council's decision. This is so primarily because City Council made it very clear exactly what it understood to be required: the proposed project should fit in, and be compatible with, the character of the existing neighborhood so that the existing neighborhood could be maintained and that the developer should engage in public outreach to accomplish maintaining the character of the existing neighborhood." Staff has used the direction provided from the Wienerstube case to inform the AACP gap code amendments. Specifically, staff has proposed language to create a new, specific, requirement for neighborhood outreach as well as adding criteria to SPA, PUD, and Subdivision that require new development be compatible with or enhance the mix of development in the immediate vicinity of the parcel in terms of land use, density, height, bulk, architecture, landscaping and open space, while emphasizing quality construction and design."

S ecial Ci PI amine & Toning Meeting Minutes Janua 17 2012 LJ Erspamer opened the regular meeting of the Planning and Zoning Commission in Sister Cities Meeting Room at 4:30. Commissioners present were Stan Gibbs, Jim DeFrancia, Bert Myrin, Keith Goode, LJ Erspamer, and Cliff Weiss. Jasmine Tygre did not attend. Staff in attendance were Jim True, Special Counsel; Chris Hendon, Jessica Garrow, City Community Development; Cindy Houben, County Community Development and Jackie Lothian, Deputy City Clerk. Comments Bert Myrin asked again about the 2 empty affordable units at the Motherlode. Declaration of Conflicts of Interest None stated. Minutes — Postponed until the next meeting on the 24` Public Hearing: South Aspen Street PUD LJ Erspamer opened the continued public hearing on South Aspen Street PUD. MOTION: Jim DeFrancia moved to continue the South Street PUD to January 24 seconded by Stan Gibbs. All in favor. Public Hearing: AACP "sap issue" Code Amendment LJ Erspamer opened the "gap issues" Code Amendments. Jessica Garrow said that staff was going to try and focus P &Z onto what are the gaps created by the fact that the AACP is now a guiding document. Jessica said when they looked at that the only issues brought up in relation to specifically the AACP were mass, scale and neighborhood compatibility. Jessica said in these code amendments you will see making sure that when we delete a reference to the AACP we will replace it with mass, scale and neighborhood compatibility. Jessica said there were 16 references to the AACP to be in the criteria; they have added in a new section called common development review procedures; it requires certain reviews for certain projects that they have done some public outreach besides noticing neighbors within 300 feet of the project. Jessica said the other item is from 2009 Planning & Zoning and HPC reviewed page 58 for call up and appeals to Council (Exhibit L). Jessica said that the ability 2 Special City Planning & Zoning Meeting — Minutes January 17, 2012 • that P &Z, HPC and Council have right now are retained and we are not trying to increase powers just retain. Jessica said the first amendment was a neighborhood outreach they included on page 23; if it goes to City Council it is subject to this heightened review. Jessica said it also has a clause that says if a project is just going to HPC or P &Z and staffs review is that it might be during scope and would be subject to heightened review if there is something that goes to City Council that is very temporary use but that could be exempted. Jessica asked P &Z what threshold do you think is appropriate for those types of reviews. Stan Gibbs said he thought it leaves too much open to judgment of the community development director, no offence to Chris. Stan said the applicant should definitely make an outreach to the neighbors as a requirement for the applicant. Stan said that we should think about what we require. Chris said that the SPA, Commercial Design Review, major HPC review and things that may in our opinion represent a large development proposal or a change in the neighborhood. Jessica said they have 4 items and a catchall; the Information Meeting; On Line meeting; Enhanced Public Information, it might include a letter describing the project; Individual Outreach to individual neighbors and get feedback that way and any other form of outreach that an applicant can come up with. Stan said it was difficult for an applicant to know what their impacts are; is there any process that we can help an applicant take on the noticing. Chris asked if there was an expectation the applicant resolves all the issues before it comes to P &Z or before it goes to City Council; that is not our expectation and if the applicant meets with neighbors and changes the plan that is great. LJ Erspamer said that you are using the word "may" in all of this so you don't have to do any of this. Chris responded that if you are identified as one of the projects that had to do this then you would have to do it. LJ said that he was concerned with the On Line Meeting. Stan said instead of "should" he said they "must" conduct a form of noticing but it should be a specific type of noticing or a choice of noticing. Cindy Houben, County Community Development Director, asked if they were going to the Board of Adjustment as well with Land Use cases. Jessica replied the way this is applies to all boards. Stan said in Marcella's comments about the County Board of Adjustment being able to adjust heights doesn't apply to the City Board of Adjustment to vary heights. Chris said that when you get a variance from the Board of Adjustment it is to rectify a particular hardship of the property that if not varied would render or close enough that a court would say you have taken a property. Chris Bendon and Jim True excused themselves at 5:25. 3 Special City Planning & Zoning Meetin Minutes January 17 2012 Jessica said AMENDMENTS TO THE LAND USE CODE AND OFFICIAL ZONE DISTRICT MAP this amendment is furthering some greater community benefit. Stan asked why your description just sort of highlighted the point that why do we mix these 2 issues in one section of the code; he said that he wouldn't be adverse to staff's splitting or make them explicit. Stan said that the references to the AACP should be directly referenced. Jessica said what you are talking about is a substantive change to the code; it implements all of the work the P &Zs have done. Jessica will go back to Jim and John and talk about that change. Jessica said VARIANCES on page 29 we are striking reference to the AACP and referencing the Municipal Code. Jessica said in variances as Chris talked about earlier they are really hardship variances. You really have to prove that it is a hardship and not just an inconvenience. Jessica said CONDITIONAL USES page 31 was the next item and the commissioners agreed with the changes "and" to replace "or. Jessica said that P &Z had a pretty board area with conditional uses. Jessica said (ESA) on page 34 you find the changes in C11 8040 GREENLINE; staff told the Open Space and Trails Board that they had to adopt something formally. Cliff said he felt the 8040 Greenline needed to go and have a total over haul and he wasn't sure that they should bother with it and would have been done in the whole valley. Jessica said there was not a perfect answer to these. Jessica asked do you want me to bring some specific language to Jim and John to review. Jessica said that maybe a regulatory plan could be included in the language. Stan said the plans that are adopted by City Council and Ordinance which is what makes the plans regulatory. Jessica said the (SPA) on page 37 was next and it was a review criteria going forward we used as a model for the amendments in PUD and Subdivision. Jessica said this was a well written review criteria; it gives a project review for mass, scale, neighborhood compatibility and calls out architecture character, open space, density, height, it is a all encompassing review. Cliff didn't understand why you wouldn't tighten the Stream Margin Review while you had the chance. Cliff said the code does not trap enough at all. Cliff said that he would like some substantive changes. Jessica said back to SPA going forward; they added in projects to emphasizing quality construction and design. Cliff asked what quality construction is; is it 4 Special City Planning & Zoning Meeting — Minutes January 17, 2012 affordable housing or everything. Jessica replied it was everything to SPA. Cliff said that was wide open to interpretation. Bert wanted it to be on its own and tagged on as 5. Jessica said in PUD there were places that instead of AACP it was changed to adopted goals of the community. Stan said they were all over the place with language and why could we just say "adopted goals of the community ". Bert wanted to strike "or enhance" on Al page 40. Jessica noted on page 43 El. added the language emphasize quality construction and design. Jessica said Growth Management on page 46 almost never will you see something that is simply Growth Management; it is usually in conjunction with Subdivision or PUD or Commercial Design Review. Growth Management is about the uses, what is going on inside; it is not about what the building looks like. What the building looks like is taken care of through Subdivision, Commercial Design and PUD. Stan said compatible with the uses in the area and delete in #2 page 47 "ef enhareet. Jessica said page 49 SUBDIVISION and they will get rid of Al. "enhance". The commission wanted taken out everywhere in the document. C Improvements on page 50. Bert wanted to retain the goals of the community at the end of C1; the commissioners agreed. Jessica said they were deleting C2. Jessica said the last section was PARKING. MOTION: Jim DeFrancia moved to January 31' seconded by Keith Goode; All in favor. Adjourned at 7:00 pm. c cfcie Lothian, Deputy City Clerk 5 Special City Planning & Zoning Meeting — Minutes January 31, 2012 DeFrancia encouraged not having meetings on election days and the commissioners agreed. Declaration of Conflicts of Interest None stated. Minutes MOTION: Jim DeFrancia moved to approve the minutes from January 17, 2012 seconded by Bert Myrin. All in favor, APPROVED. Bert Myrin moved to approve the minutes from January 24, 2012 seconded by Keith Goode. All in favor, APPROVED. Continued Public Hearing: AACP "gap issues" Code Amendments LJ Erspamer opened the continued public hearing. Jessica Garrow said this was a continued public hearing for the gap issues with 16 references to those gap issues. Jessica said they included neighborhood outreach with the height, mass scale or as a PUD COWOP is required to go through the neighborhood outreach and the language for that starts on page 29 of the packet. Jessica said that she could identify that in the pre - application and conference summary and if there is a document that was based on the pre - application conference summary staff highlights any issues like transportation, air quality, parking, which we think will reach the various forms of neighborhood outreach. Stan Gibbs said the language starts on page 27. Jessica said those were the main changes to that section. Jessica said Exhibit C starts on page 31the chapter had any amendment to the land use code. The one comment on page 31 section b was changed per P &Z request asking to reference the Aspen Area Community Plan here and we can do it because it is a final plan even though it is not regulatory. Jessica said it previously said promoted the general philosophy it said further adopts the objective of the plan. Jessica said that variances were unchanged. Jessica said in Conditional Uses was changed so you have to both consistent and compatible as well as enhanced the area. Jessica said in the Environmentally Sensitive Areas on page 38 is in 8040 Greenline review and Stream Margin Review. Stan asked if that was a normal process for Council to adopt those plans. Jessica replied they are moving toward that process with the Open Space and Trails Board. 3 Special City Planning & Zoning Meeting — Minutes January 31, 2012 Jessica said on page 41 was Exhibit G and the previous version had a reference to quality construction and design so bullet point 5 is making sure that a proposed development emphasis on quality construction and design. The language added was "whether the proposed development emphasizes quality construction and design in relation to exterior materials, weathering, snow shedding and storage and energy efficiency. Stan asked if "such as" be added. Jasmine brought up the fact that there could be newer technology and "such as" would include more flexibility. Jessica said that in PUD on page 46 at the top of the page "the community" should be removed and replaced with specific master plans. Jessica said on page 47 the same change would be made to use "such as". Jessica said the next change that P &Z requested was in Growth Management on page 51 we require land uses to be compatible with the surrounding area. Stan asked on page 51 would we want to have uses with an area master plan; has the neighborhood evolved in any way. Stan said where we have general uses about land use. Jessica said so the land uses might be adopted to any master plan in Subdivision and PUD sections. Jessica said they would look at the Engineering Standards so it is up to you if you want to keep Title 28 in the document. Jessica said on page 59 off street parking that staff had changed to an adopted regulatory master plan as applicable. Jessica said those were all the changes. LJ asked about the Open Space and Trails Board. Jessica replied that there was no plan that would take this to adoption other than City Council approving as an Ordinance. Chris said that there was a particular trails master plan with specific areas. Stan asked about page 53 #A3 how anybody would know what future development there might be so this might just reference master plans. Chris said an instance where this might come up is that your development uses up all the utility capacity and future developments would have to pay a price for the utilities and you would be asked to pay an amount for your share of the utilities. Jim DeFrancia asked if they could put parenthetical examples. Chris said that this section was old and needed to be updated in a holistic in way. Jessica said that Subdivision needed updating. Jessica asked if there were any other changes to the Resolution. 4 Special City Planning & Zoning Meeting — Minutes January 31, 2012 LJ opened the public portion of the hearing. Junee Kirk quoted from an Ordinance 3. Jessica responded that Ordinances were City Council and Resolution #3 was P &Z on this item. Bert Myrin gave Junee his packet. Junee said that Bert Myrin gave Junee his packet. Junee said that she didn't want the Aspen Area Community Plan cut out of this document. Jessica said that when the AACP is referenced as a guiding document we have references in our land use code that require consistencies but we cannot require an applicant to comply with those guiding documents. Jessica said they wanted Council, HPC and P &Z to keep their authority with mass, scale and height of the building. Junee asked about some wording in the plan that enhances P &Z but left up to the Community Development Director to know if the plans are acceptable. Chris said this section allows the developer to come to P &Z through the Community Development Department; we are allowed to accept it as an application to go onto P &Z and Council. Jessica said that this has to go to City Council and she would be happy to send Junee a copy and will go over the P &Z recommendations to City Council. Jessica went through the resolution on page 18 replacing "in relation to" with "such as" and page 20 6a) delete of the community and E4 delete "in relation to" and replace with "characteristics such as"; page 21 Section 16 and 17 are reversed and should be flipped. Jessica said per Bert take any adopted master plan on page 22 Cl and delete the last sentence. Bert wanted to go back through the resolution for the 16 points. LJ said throughout this it says Community Department staff concerned him about Chris is in charge so shouldn't it say Community Development Director or somehow shouldn't it reflect that you are the fmal authority on this. Chris replied it doesn't have to be him it could be staff and the boards are acknowledged such as P &Z and Council. Chris said he preferred Community Development staff Bert said on page 16 can we say the same as last one. Jessica cautioned against that because some amendments to the land use code because when you get to variances it is an on the ground review to a specific parcel something that is an adopted land use code and in variances it doesn't meet the land use code. Chris said if there is not sufficient evidence it is a takings; it is the minimum variance required. Stan said the land use code is getting all the references to the AACP and put into the document how it should work with a guiding document. Jasmine said she thought that they were trying to make things easier to understand and while we are evaluating we should leave the Aspen Area Community Plan in there. Chris said instead of using the AACP as a law we are going to use it to create laws. Chris 5 Special City Planning & Zoning Meeting — Minutes January 31, 2012 said as Stan said to use the AACP as a guiding document to create laws but it is a guiding document. Jim True said that Chris's description of the guiding document was correct. Jasmine said the clarification has gone too far in the direction of removing the real reason that we are doing this; it is to enact to the best of our ability The AACP. Jasmine said that she wouldn't mind having it taken out of the criteria if it is put into the respective sections. Jim DeFrancia supports the staff decisions. Stan said the strength of the land use code should rely on explicitly what the land use code says. Stan said the references to the AACP are visionary and philosophical document belong where we do our job on how do we change the land use code. What should the land use code say; that should be the domain of the AACP not applications coming in because he thought it does the opposite and makes the code much more complicated. Bert said A on page 16 was that conditional use is compatible. Jessica replied that conditional use was a lot like growth management where we are talking about the uses and not necessarily what the building looks like. Jessica said it is identified in the zone district. Stan said that we were wandering in the code and agreed with Jessica. Cliff asked how conditional use was different from SPA. Chris responded that in SPA you were also talking about the dimensions of the building. Jessica stated you are varying the uses whereas conditional use is identified very clearly in the zone district as to what use is allowed. Lodging is not a conditional use. LJ said there were 2 issues on the table: 1 is Bert's language and the other one is Jasmine's language. Cliff said he would go with Stan and staff that you make that reference somewhere at the outset. Bert went through the Resolution with all of the 16 items. Jessica said on page 59 get to the scaling issues and compatibility. LJ said that they were doing traffic studies based on pedestrian movement. Chris said that Engineering, Transportation and Environmental Health are looking at a comprehensive way to ask for transportation plans and what do they do with them like how you manage your trip or deal with TDM in a holistic way. 6 Special City Planning & Zoning Meeting — Minutes January 31, 2012 MOTION: Bert Myrin moved to approve the AACP gap code amendments as outlined in Resolution #00, series 2012 with amendments; Jasmine Tygre seconded. Roll call vote: Keith Goode, yes; Cliff Weiss, yes; Stan Gibbs, yes; Jasmine Tygre, yes; Bert Myrin, yes; LJErspamer, yes. All in favor, APPROVED 6 -0. Other Business Chris said that they have been thinking about the way that we do code amendments and that it might be time as one of our code amendments to talk about the code amendment process. Chris said that right now we start off with a Council Work Session without any big input from the public and then it goes to P &Z who hasn't gotten any of the specific language prior to the meeting. Chris said that they think signs are really simple or vending carts. LJ said it was similar to do neighborhood outreach. Cliff said that we would hear from the usual cast of characters. Jasmine said that she has always liked conceptual and then final because it does clarify your thinking. Stan said Chris didn't really explicitly say how code amendments from our list fit into the process. Chris said Community Development meets with Council about once a year to review and Council then comes back and says we want you to do these; we have to have this discussion on priorities. Jessica said next week's meeting is prioritization and that will be what this group decided what your priorities are for code amendments and then forwarded onto City Council for their work session. Adjourned at 6:50 pm. Jackie Lothian, Deputy City Clerk 7 3 , Suggestions to resolve recurring problems of Mass and Scale that takes away the Character of our small Mountain Community Aspen City Council February 27, 2012 LJ Erspamer The following is a term the City and County P &Z had been agreed upon in a work session to insert in the 2011 AACP but does not appear anywhere in the document. I respectfully ask you to replace the word "COMPATIBLE" (to exist together) to "CONSISTENT" (adhering to the same principles, course, form) throughout the AACP where it refers to building mass, scale and density. This includes SPA and PUD applications. Any application must be "CONSISTENT WITH THE IMMEDIATE NEIGHBORHOOD ". Compatible is an ambiguous, discretionary and meaningless term that could be used to support large development in Aspen that creates permanent blemishes not only to the immediate neighborhood structures but an affront to the character and charm of our City. Thank You. LJ E mitt Cj) ASPEN Memorandum CHAMBER RESORT ASSOCIATION To: City Council - through Chris Bendon From: Aspen Chamber Resort Association Date: Monday, February 27, 2012 Re: MCP We understand that you are close to adopting the Aspen Area Community Plan; we congratulate you on this effort. Over the last year ACRA has worked with the City to find balance in this important document. While we were unable to make any significant changes to the plan, we continue to have the desire to be involved on behalf of the business community. Once again our executive committee has reviewed the action steps outlined in the AACP and are requesting that council follows the implementation steps prior to moving towards code revisions. As a community we should follow the logical steps of assessing our circumstances, defining what we wish our future to be and then refine our code to promote that future. This can be accomplished in a timely way if we focus on it. The current draft of the Aspen Area Community Plan calls for Implementation steps including the following: • Establish a routine process and consistent metric to ensure an on -going economic analysis of our economy • Maintain and improve the tourist based economy... including, establish a collaborative working group including major institutions, the public sector, ACRA, the retail sector, the SkiCo and lodges to develop a community - wide strategic resort analysis and plan to maintain the sustainability for the tourist economy • The working group should conduct market research and brand development, examining what other resort communities are doing to attract visitors • The working group should conduct periodic analyses of our competitive advantages and disadvantages • Replenish the declining lodging base with an emphasis on a balanced inventory • Update the City and County lodging database, including information on room sizes, age, bed base and amenities provided • Identify and describe a desirable mix of lodging inventory and use this desired balance to incentivize product type for new lodging development with a goal of establishing a balanced inventory • Use the City's 3 -D model of the downtown area to illustrate the maximum development that could result from the City's existing zoning and Lodging & Commercial Design Guidelines • Then... Amend zoning and the guidelines based on the findings to ensure compatible and appropriate development At the same time, the AACP contradictorily calls for exploring code language to limit the ability to convert lodging to other uses, to eliminate the provision of free - market residential incentives in lodging development, while steering towards more rigid development standards where height, mass and site coverage are concerned and requires that development mitigate for all impacts associated with it, although mitigation can be reduced where certain public purposes are promoted through development. Regardless of the intrinsic contradictions in the AACP, there are several professional planning steps that are outlined above which should be undertaken. City Staff and 3 party professionals should assist with and / or lead the professional evaluation. We respectfully request that the City follows the process outlined in the action steps of the Aspen Area Community Plan Sincerely, Debbie Braun President ACRA On behalf of the ACRA executive committee, Warren Klug, Helen Klanderud, Donnie Lee, Charlie Bantis, Adam Fortier, David Perry and Stan Clauson.

MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: CJ Oliver, Environmental Health Director DATE OF MEMO: February 21, 2012 MEETING DATE: February 27, 2012 RE: Drinking Water Fluoridation REQUEST OF COUNCIL: Staff requests direction from Council on whether to lower the amount of Fluoride provided in the City of Aspen drinking water supply to the EPA/Health and Human Services proposed level of 0.7 ppm or to discontinue the water fluoridation program in the City of Aspen. The issue this memo focuses on is not whether fluoride is "good or bad" (it has both benefits and risks) but whether the City of Aspen should add Fluoride as a public health protection measure or give the responsibility to citizens to make their own decision about Fluoride intake and the steps they would take to add Fluoride to their diet as they see appropriate. PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION: Councils have discussed this issue at past work sessions and decided not to change fluoridation procedures. An advisory vote was held on fluoride in the 1980's with the result favoring continuing to fluoridate. When the new lowered water fluoridation recommended guidelines were released in January 2011, council directed staff to return with as much scientific information as possible. That information is available in the work session memo from September 2011. ( http: / /www.aspenpitkin.com/Portals /0 /docs /City /envhealth /eh fluoride 9.2011 worksession m emo.pdf ) BACKGROUND: In January of 2011, the EPA and US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) proposed a recommendation that water districts lower the amount of fluoride they add to drinking water to the lowest amount expected to reduce the number of cavities (0.7 ppm). Their release stated that, "This updated recommendation is based on recent EPA and HHS scientific assessments to balance the benefits of preventing tooth decay while limiting any unwanted health effects." This information was presented to Council, which directed staff to bring back options at a work session. At the work session Council asked staff to prepare 2 resolutions to bring forward, one which would lower the amount of Fluoride the City adds to the Page 1 of 6 water supply down to the new EPA/HHS recommended level and another that would discontinue the fluoridation program for the City of Aspen drinking water system. DISCUSSION: This topic is an excellent example of an issue with significant tradeoffs and competing benefits and risks. The debate on the science of this issue is one without a defmitive answer but there are certainly scientific and peer reviewed conclusions that can be draw from the vast amount of information available. Science • It is crucial to rely on peer- reviewed studies, and to distinguish between studies whose methods have been evaluated by independent experts, and initial studies whose design cannot draw a scientific conclusion. • Fluoride reduces the risk of dental cavities. This is considered to be a significant public health benefit. • The National Research Council has reviewed the wealth of studies, evaluated which ones meet scientific standards, and listed the conclusions that can be drawn from those studies. Their charge was to evaluate whether the current maximum allowed level of fluoride naturally in water was strict enough, or whether high- fluoride water systems needed to do more to remove their fluoride. (They were asking whether natural levels of 4 ppm were too high, or whether the maximum should be lowered to 2 ppm. While they were not asked whether even lower levels still posed a risk, the scientific thinking is that if 10 x- rays a year increase your risk of cancer, five x -rays a year increases your risk, but by a lesser amount. So the risks, and benefits, they found, at 2 or 4 ppm would be expected to exist, but be smaller, at 0.7 ppm.) • Too much fluoride increases the risk of dental fluorosis and bone fractures. The NRC report stated that, "the majority of the committee concluded that the MCLG is not likely to be protective against bone fractures." (The MCLG is the 4 ppm that has been allowed in naturally high- fluoride water.) In more detail, the report noted, o "Bone Fractures o All members of the committee agreed that there is scientific evidence that under certain conditions fluoride can weaken bone and increase the risk of fractures... o The majority of the committee concluded that the MCLG is not likely to be protective against bone fractures... o Few studies have assessed fracture risk in populations exposed to fluoride at 2 mg/L in drinking water. The best available study was from Finland, which provided data that suggested an increased rate of hip fracture in populations exposed to fluoride at >1.5 mg/L. o Thus, the committee finds that the available epidemiologic data for assessing bone fracture risk in relation to fluoride exposure around 2 mg/L are inadequate for drawing firm conclusions about the risk or safety of exposures at that concentration. Page 2 of 6 o More research is needed on bone concentrations of fluoride in people with altered renal function, as well as other potentially sensitive populations (e.g., the elderly, postmenopausal women, people with altered acid balance), to better understand the risks of musculoskeletal effects in these populations." • Ambiguous studies have raised the possibility, which is not confirmed or proven, that excess fluoride may increase the risk of rare bone cancers in some subpopulations. This is a perfect example of the difficulty of being able to draw firm conclusions, even from good peer- reviewed scientific studies. • Many claims of adverse effects from fluoride ranging from lowered IQ to cancers. A scientific hypothesis may be found to be valid in future studies but there is no support for these effects based on existing science. • Aspen's water has natural fluoride in levels that vary by season and by water source (well, surface, etc.) with the average level varying from .18 to .35 ppm. • Intake of fluoride has increased significantly in the decades since fluoridation was begun, from dietary changes, toothpastes, and dental treatments. Knowing how much fluoride people get from their diets is very challenging and it varies tremendously among people. • An unknown number of consumers of Aspen's water may not be able to afford adequate dental care and the amount of fluoride ingested in foods can vary widely. Endorsements by other groups: The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment strongly supports adding fluoride to water, as does the Aspen to Parachute Dental Initiative. CDPHE's policy statement is, "Fluoridation of public water supplies is a safe, economical, and effective measure to prevent dental caries. Family physicians should know the fluoride content of local drinking water supplies, educate patients to prevent excessive fluoride intake, and be knowledgeable about the health risks and benefits associated with fluoride. Dietary fluoride supplements should be considered for children from ages 6 months through 16 years when drinking water levels are suboptimal. CDPHE strongly urges Aspen to continue adding fluoride to its water. Optimal fluoridation is also included in the Oral health section of the agency's 10 winnable battles list. The Centers for Disease Control states, "For 65 years, community water fluoridation has been a safe and healthy way to effectively prevent tooth decay. CDC has recognized water fluoridation as one of 10 great public health achievements of the 20th century." What other communities are doing: Page 3 of 6 Here is a summary of what other water treatment systems in Colorado do, from the Centers for Disease Control registry of fluoridation status of all water systems. • 515 Colorado systems are listed in this database as "non- fluoridated ". This group is heavily weighted toward small systems, although it also includes large systems such as Thornton, Westminster, and Colorado Springs. This includes 23 systems in Pitkin County, 45 in Garfield County, and 21 in Eagle County. • 196 systems in Colorado are listed as "fluoridated" but by using the natural fluoride in their water. This includes towns like Woodland Park, La Junta, Salida, and Englewood and 3 water systems in Garfield County. • 50 water systems use natural fluoride but adjust levels to meet the standard. This includes such towns as Greeley, Breckenridge and Pueblo, two water systems in Pitkin County (Aspen and Snowmass), one in Garfield County and three in Eagle County. • 120 systems blend water from different sources with varying amounts of fluoride. The state health department's records provide different numbers, indicating that 73 systems adjust their fluoride levels (instead of the 50 listed by CDC) and notes that 11 of those systems have already adjusted their levels down to the new proposed EPA/HHS recommended guideline level of 0.7 ppm. The city of Fairbanks Alaska convened a task force to research water Fluoridation and decided to discontinue their program based on their of conclusions risk/benefit studies. The groundwater that Fairbanks uses has natural concentrations of Fluoride around 0.3 ppm, close to the upper end of the range for Aspen's natural background Fluoride levels. Their rationale and recommendations can be seen. ( http: / /www.aspenpitkin.com/Portals /0 /does /City /envhealth/eh fluoride fairbanks alaska report .pdf ) In Europe, most countries do not add fluoride to their water, although many use fluoridated salt as an alternative that allows consumers to choose whether to increase or limit their fluoride intake, or to give extra fluoride to children without adding it to adults' diets. See September 2011 work session memo for additional info on European practices. (pg. 21) FINANCIAL/BUDGET IMPACTS: This issue is not driven by cost considerations. It costs the city a small amount of money to add fluoride to the water, including purchasing the material and staff time, training, and safety materials required for its addition. That amount of money could provide funding for fluoride containing toothpastes, mouth rinses, tablets and treatments for people without adequate dental care in the event that Council chooses to terminate the Fluoride program. Such a step would be a cost - neutral way to allow people to choose to avoid additional fluoride exposure from their drinking water while providing fluoride to low- income residents. Page 4 of 6 The current cost of the fluoridation program to the Water Department is approximately $13,000. Cost of a reverse osmosis filtration system to remove Fluoride from one faucet is $150 -$500 depending on quality and capacity, replacement filters are needed every 6 months at a cost of around $50. The costs for two different options for a school based Fluoride application program from information provided by CDPHE are below. The estimates do not include the labor costs associated with administering the measures, only material costs. • One box of 200 unit dose packages of fluoride varnish (.25 ml) lists for $146.00 from Medical Products Laboratories, Inc., http: / /www.medprodlabs.com /. This does not include shipping and handling. Fluoride varnish applied 2 times per year. • 288 premixed 10 ml dose cups (includes napkins and disposal bags) list for $19.00 from Medical Products Laboratories, Inc., http: / /www.medorodlabs.com /. This does not include shipping and handling. Fluoride rinse applied weekly. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS: This is a public health, rather than an environmental issue. RECOMMENDED ACTION: Staff recommends that Council lower the amount of Fluoride in the municipal drinking water supply to the EPA/HHS recommended level of 0.7 parts per million. Staff feels this level provides the best protection of public health while taking into account concerns about over fluoridation. ALTERNATIVES: Council could choose to discontinue the fluoridation program for the drinking water supply if they feel the levels currently recommended by the EPA and HHS do not adequately address the risks associated with ingesting excess Fluoride. The natural background levels of Fluoride in the drinking water supply range from .18 to .35 ppm providing some level of protection for oral health.
