Re:
An Ordinance Amending Aspen Mountain PUD Development Dates--
(Section M Amendment)
Summary:
In September of 1999, a letter, from John Sarpa of Savannah Limited Partnership, requested that
the deadline for the demolition of the Grand Aspen Hotel be further extended for another year as
an Amendment to the Aspen Mountain Planned Unit Development (PUD).
Attached is a letter, dated September 8,1999, providing a rationale and justification for extending
the demolition deadline for the Grand Aspen Hotel, along with proposed dates for the extensions
of related development. Section M of the Aspen Mountain PUD states that City Council may
provide an extension of one or more of the time periods as it may deem appropriate. These
extensions may not be unreasonably withheld by Council if the "if the Owner demonstrates by a
preponderance of the evidence that the reasons for the delay( s) which necessitate such
extensions(s) are beyond the control of the Owner, despite good faith efforts on its part to
perform in a timely manner."
Savannah originally submitted applications for Lot 3 (Top of Mill) and Lot 5 (Grand Aspen Site)
in January 1996. They had completed their review with the Planning & Zoning Commission and
were beginning a series of meetings with City Council when disruptions occurred to the
management structure of the, then, Ritz-Carlton Hotel. In addition, direction had been given to
Savannah as to how they might make their project more responsive to community interests. In
order to evaluate and respond to these issues, Savannah delayed the Aspen Mountain PUD
review process. Savannah submitted revised applications for the Bavarian site, Lot 3 and Lot 5
in September of 1998. These projects are currently in the review process with the Planning and
Zoning Commission and will soon be before City Council.
In that the review process has taken longer than anticipated (partially due to the applicant's time
in repsonding to staff comments on their original application) the demolition of the Grand Aspen
Hotel this fall will most certainly mean that the community will have a huge hole in the ground
for the next year. Delaying the demolition for one year allows the project to obtain final
development approvals and building permits over the course of the next year and be in a position
of demolishing the building immediately prior to beginning construction of a new hotel
(assuming it is approved by City Council).
~
~
-.
In addition, the MAA and the Ski Co. are interested in utilizing the hotel for much needed
seasonal affordable housing this winter season, providing an essential service to the community.
~,.
Background
On September 25, 1995, City Council amended the Aspen Mountain PUD development
deadlines to provide a three-year extension for the demolition of the Grand Aspen Hotel.
Subsequently, Ordinance 4, Series of 1998 was passed by Council which would further extend
that demolition for another year to October 1, 1999. Since the establishment of a comprehensive
development timetable for the Aspen Mountain PUD in June 1990, there have been four
additional amendments extending deadlines for the Grand Aspen Hotel demolition, for obtaining
a certificate of occupancy for the Ritz-Carlton Hotel, the Summit Place Residential Project, and
the ice rink and park development.
Discussion: Staff believes that granting Savannah the requested extensions is consistent with the
requirements for amendment of the PUD. The extension ensures that the site won't sit vacant for
an extended period of time before development approvals are issued and final architecture and
building permits are obtained. Because the 1998 Section M amendments were premised upon
Savannah obtaining fmal approval for Lot 3 and 5 and the Bavarian bu January 1,2000, and that.
now appears unattainable, staff recommends shifting all the other deadlines in the agreement by
one year as well.
The Planning and Zoning Commission also recommends that the City Council extend the
demolition deadline and utilize the building for housing this winter season.
Financial Implications: Because the applicant is responsible for payment of staff time involved
in the review of development applications, there are no significant financial implications for the
City in granting this extension of development deadlines. However, the proposed dates are
intended to minimize any loss of tax revenue which will occur due to the period of construction
for the Grand Aspen site.
Recommendation: Staff recommends that the proposed ordinance be adopted on first reading
and a public hearing set for second reading.
Proposed Motion: Staff recommends the following motion:
"1 move to approve Ordinance No!fSeries of 1999, amending Section M of the First Amended
and Restated Planned Unit Development/Subdivision Agreement for the Aspen Mountain
Subdivision."
