Acting Clerk, Hal Schilling Regular Meeting Aspen City Council November 26, 1984 Mayor Stirling called the meeting to order at 5:10 with Councilmembers Blomquist and Knecht present. CITIZEN PARTICIPATION 1. Jim Curtis told Council he has been retained by some property owners in the Smuggler mountain location to check with Council, the Commissioners and other parties in the community to see if the community would like to respond to the possible EPA designation of the location as a super-fund site. The end date for public comment is December 14, after that the EPA will make an official decision to delete sites or go ahead as planned. Curtis told Council he has spoken with people in the community and concluded the EPA actions to date have done nothing but create uncertainty and confusion. From an economic viewpoint, designation on the super-fund list and what it implies will have a negative impact on the community. Curtis asked if Council will let him work with the city staff to come up with a possible statement for Council to send to the EPA. Mayor Stirling suggested this be made ready for the December 10 agenda. Curtis said he is trying to gather the facts regarding what is the problem, if there is, the degree of the problem. Tom Dunlop, environmental health department, said there has been a problem defined concerning lead content in the scils and there has been no attempt to lesson the potential health impacts. Curtis is trying to decide if the federal government should be involved in this process. Mayor Stirling moved to have a report prepared for Council for the December 10 meeting; seconded by Councilman Knecht. All in favor, motion carried.

Mayor Stirling introduced Jim Schmidt, the new director of Roaring Fork Transit Agency.!i Schmidt told Council he feels RFTA is off to a good start and has a great deal of potentia~i. Schmidt said he is presently working on the 1985 budget. ATC, the company he works for, runs 19 other transit operations so they will have some cost comparisons. Assistant City Manager Ron Mitchell said RFTA is having a second public hearing tomorrow and the staff will try to have the budget to CounCil by December 10. APPLICATION FOR BEER & WINE LICENSE - Marika's Mayor Stirling opened the public hearing. City Clerk Koch reported the file, posting and publication in order. The applicants, Gary Orr and Helen Theos introduced themselves. MSo Theos told Council this is for a small Greek restaurant in the Mill Street Plaza and the intent is to serve Greek wine and beer as a convenience for the customers. Marika's is open 11 a.m. te 9 p.m. Monday through Saturday and through the off season shorter hours. Mayor Stirling asked if there were opponents; there were none. Mayor Stirling closed the public hearing. Councilman Knecht moved that based on the evidence at this public hearing relating to the application of Marika's for a beer & wine license, the Council finds that the needs of the community have not been met and the license as applied for is hereby granted; seconded by Councilman Blomquist. All in favor, motion carried. PUBLIC HEARING - LIQUOR LICENSE RENEWAL - Copper Kettle Mayor Stirling opened the public hearing. Council decided two weeks ago to hold a public hearing for alleged serving of minors, and for general conduct of a liquor-licensed establishment. Jeremy Bernstein and Andy Hecht were present representing the Kettle Corporation. City Attorney Taddune presented a memorandum outlining procedures for this hearing. Bernstein said he has no problem with the memorandum. Councilman Blomquist moved that the memorandum dated November 23, 1984, be entered as the first exhibit; seconded by Councilman Knecht. Ail Jn favor, motion carried. Mayor Stirling swore in everycne offering testimony prior to their testifying. Bernstein said if the issue is a problem in the community with minors drinking, the Kettle Corpora- tion is willing to spend money, time and energy to help the community deal with this. Bernstein said the applicants denies that they have run their establishment in a manner which would offen the average citizen and will present, evidence to that. Bernstein presented approximately 350 letters from patrons of the Tippler stating that patrons of the Tippler have been requested to show identification, that the bar has been operating in an orderly fashion, and the the Tippler is an asset to the community. Aspen City Council November 26, 1984 Bernstein said he will present testimony from employees of the Tippler. Bernstein said the police reports submitted tc Council have the technical problem of hearsay evidence, in which they c~nnet be cross examined. Bernstein pointed out the state statute provides that if an employee of a liquor licensed establishment accepts fraudulent identification, the bar is not subject to penalties. Bernstein said as far as the rowdy and disorderly problem, the Tippler is open 300 days a year serving about 150,000 people per year. There are only nine violations listed by the police department, five of which are theft from a patron. The others are disorderly conduct, criminal mischief, second degree assault and third de§ree assault. In context of the number of patrons yearly, this is not the kind of violations which will offend the sense of the average citizens. Bernstein said the Tippler provides good service to the community; they have taken every step to enforce the drinking age, have had doormen since the summer of 1983, and spends money to card people. Bernstein said the application should be renewed. Leon Murray, police department, was sworn in. Murray explained whenever an establishment comes up for renewal, the city clerk's office refers these to the police department for comment. The police department also does background checks on new owners. Murray said there were reports occuring at the Tippler, including a knifing in which the victim was under 21. Murray told Council he has personally ejected underage drinkers, has confisca- ted 12 identification cards as has other police officers. Murray told Council there are a higher number of reports received from the Tippler than other bars. Murray said the police department has been working with the management, and they have taken steps to police themselves. Taddune told Council he haS explored a procedure used in Denver, wkich has received criticism from the press. Denver has been accepting a fine and given bars the opportunity they can comply with the liquor regulations. One of the alternatives may be fining establishments and using the money to try to solve the juvenile problem. Taddune said if the city is taking the hard line, this policy ought to be announced. Taddune said in discuss~c~ns with the applicant, they have announced their intention to come into strict compliance. Andy Hecht, representing the applicant, said not only does the applicant intend to keep minors out but there may be an epportunity to do something for the minors in town. Hecht said none of these instances has been serious enough to warrant a suspension hearing until renewal time. Bil Dun.away suggested that the city attorney discussing contributions with the applicant may have tainted this hearing. Taddune said this has been done in Den~er as a precedence. Taddu~e said he menticned this to Council so they would be aware of it, and felt it was a positive approach to solving a problem. Keith Ikeda, police department, testified in Cctober he contacted two juveniles at the Tippler, one showed fake identification, the other one left. Ikeda ran a check on the ID to see if it was valid. Bernstein pointed out if Ikeda did that, it must have been a good job, Ikeda said there were six juveniles at the table but they scattered. One juvenile told Ikeda he walked past the doorman. Hecht pointed out there is a penalty for showing a false ID but no penalty for being in a bar and not drinking. Tom Stephenson, juvenile officer, told Council he followed up on Ikeda's incident and met with three juveniles, one 18, two 17, they admitted having been in the Tippler. Two of these juveniles had fake IDs but stated they did not have to use these IDs. One of the IDs was marked exhibit 2~ Stephenson told Council he had received a phone call from a concerned parent about this problem. Brad Onsgaard, juvenile officer, investigated a case where a juvenile was at the Tippler and was using a fake identification. Another identification was marked for exhibit. Onsgaard told Council he felt underage drinking is a problem in this community. Onsgaard said the concern is that there is not a place for juveniles to congregate. Onsgaard pointed out there are other establishments in town that have this same problem. Onsgaard told Council the applicant is trying to comply and has asked the police department give a class on IDs. Murray said Aspen has a curfew applying to persons under 18, which is 11 p.m. Murray told Council part of the night officers duties are to make regular bar patrols, hopefully to correct problems in bars before they get too far. Murray said he has caught four or five minors or juveniles inside the Tippler and identified these persons to the management. Murray also as investigator looked into some criminal complaints as this location. ~urray said the number of contacts at the Tippler are higher than other establishments and have been more serious in nature. Murray told Council there is a long list of renewals later on the agenda, all of which he reviewed, and none are comparable ~ to the Tippler's record. Taddune said the staff has tried to give a broad picture rather i than bring in all individuals involved. Sirous Saqhatoleslami, owner of the the Kettle Corporation, presented exhibit 4 of the letters from patrons. Saghatoleslami told Council this establishment has been in existenc~ in the current location since 1965. Saghatoleslami presented his training manual and read! the statement about it being illegal to serve to minors and juveniles, which was accepted into evidence. Saghatoleslami told Council he has added doormen, there are problems with people sneaking in the doors and windows, service entrance. Saghatoleslami told Council the Tippler has turned in many fake IDs to the police department. Saghatoleslami said it is no benefit to the Tippler to have minors in there. Troy Poling, front doorman at the Tippler, told Council he checks IDs to make sure no minors get into the bar. Poling said he has had experience as a doorman. Poling said between 10:30 and midnight it gets very crowded at the door. Poling said he has confiscated up to six IDs in a night as well as turn juveniles over to the police depart- ment. Ginger Bleggi told Council she turned 21 in April, has lived in Aspen for 3 years, ~" Ms. Bleggi toild Council she had gone to the Tippler and was successful in getting in only by slipping in the back door~ or sneaking past the doorman. Ms. Bleggi told Council she usually got caught and was told to leave. Ms. Bleggi said kids in town are very resourceful in getting fake IDs. ~ Ms. Bleggi said because she is friends with Sirous' daughter, she usually goes to other establishments. Mayor Stirling asked why kids would want to go to these establishments. Ms. Bleggi said there is nothing else to do in town at night. Mayor Stirling asked if there was a teen center, would it deter kids from going to bars. Ms. Bleggi said she felt it would as kids like to be with people of their own age rather than older people. Regular Meeting Aspen Ulty ~ouncli ~uv=~ ~v, .... Hans Peter Stouffer told Council he is the assistant bar manager at the Tippler since September 1979. Stouffer said he orders liquor, hires and trains personnel. Stouffer said the policy of the Tippler is not to allow minors in. Stouffer told Council minors try ihgenious ways to try and get into the Tippler. It is not easy to get into the Tippler, they always have a doorman. Stouffer said there is nothing in town for kids to do. Arthur (Meter) Blaul an Aspen reisdent, familiar with the Tippler told Council he feels the policy regarding juveniles is consistent, has not noticed much of a problem and feels people are carded at the door. Scott C~ow testified juveniles are not allowed in the Tippler and that this policy is enforced. Scott said he has seen minors escorted out the door. Emir Saghatoleslami, manager of the Tippler, presented into evidence six fake IDs that had been confiscated. Stacy Standley, former mayor and bartender, told Council these problems are indemic in the community, underage drinking has been a problem for years. Standley said the police should be more visible, perhaps the number of patrons being admitted could be controlled. Standley said in the past, the city has been helped out by the local licenses owners working together. Standley said this problem is not new, has not gone away, and should be: addressed outside the context of renewals. Stan Seligman said this is not a hearing on a license renewal, but a hearing on this community. There is no place for teenagers to go at night, that is the problem. The community needs to address this. Tom Stephenson said he believes Sirous is concerned. The police department's function is to document cases in liquor licensed establishments that are violations of the law, and this is their function. Mayor Stirling closed the public hearing. Hecht said this evidence presented is evidence of a serious community problem. There is a record of fake IDs, there is no evidence that anyone was served without IDs. Hecht said no evidence has been presented to prove a violation of the liquor laws. Bernstein said the police incidents were reported to the police by the Tippler, who takes steps not to have a disorderly establishment. Mayor Stirling entered into the record two letters from Eugene Wits and Richard Owen in opposition to the renewal of this liquor license. Councilman Knecht moved that based upon the fact it is not illegal for underaged persons to be in a bar as long as not drinking, and based upon the fact a person under 21 years of age exhibits fraudulent proof of ID, any action relying on such fraudulent proof of age shall not constitute ground for suspension of the license, and based upon testimony at this hearing that the Copper Kettle liquor license be renewed; seconded by Councilman Blomquist. Mayor Stirling said there are problems with drinking in town, with highway 82. Mayor Stirling said the police department has been doing their job, which points out an underage drinking problem in town. There is no place for minors to go. The Council should instrUct the staff to become tough in the enforcement of this problem. Mayor Stirling said there has been evidence of criminal offenses in this location. Mayor Stirling said he would support the renewal of this license with some conditions perhaps to require a fine, or another hearing in 90 daYs for additional evidence, and to urge bars not to offer entice- ments for drinking like two for ones. Councilman Blomquist agreed the police department should have a clear direction from Council that this problem should be worked on. The city should look for positive actions, respond to barowners who share these concerns. All in favor, motion carried.

Councilman Blomquist moved to adopt Ordinance ~37, Series of 1984, on second reading. Roll call vote; Councilmembers Walls, aye; Knecht, aye; Blomquist, aye; Mayor Stirling, aye. Motion carried. Aspen City Council November 26, 1984 __ ORDINANCE #38, SERIES OF 1984 - Moratorium/Lot splits Some of Council's concerns regarding lot splits are that they result in an undesirable increase in density, current regulations create a potential for disrupting established subdivision, planning ramifications for lot splits should be more fully analyzed, and existing legislation may be antiquated. Mayor Stirling opened the public hearing. potential Chuck Brandt representing a/property owner with four R/MF lots plans to purchase these and build two duplexes, which is less than the allowed density. Brandt said the lot split moratorium does not belong in the lodge or multi-family districts. The concerns Council mentioned about lot split do not exist in these zone districts. Councilwoman Walls said if these were four lots originally, they should still be four lots rather than one lot and go through a lot split. Councilwoman Walls said she is trying to get at the merger provision. City Attorney Taddune explained Council's concern was with sub-standard lots and decided for planning harmony, to merge anything in common ownership with a continuous frontage. Colette Penne, planning office, said Council is concerned about greater density and the lot split alternative gives less density. Gideon Kaufman said previously legislation merged people's lots, then gave legislation for lot splits. If lot splits are eliminated, there is no easy way to split property. Councilwoman Walls said her purpose ~s to unmerge the lots and do away with the necessity of lot splits. Under the current legislation, people with one large in a subdivision of large lots are taking advantage of the lot split ordinance. This is unfair to neighbors who bought adjacent lots with the understanding that lots will remain the same size. Kaufman said there have been 35 lot splits in 4½ years. There are 20 more lcts that could be split; however, some of these cannot be split because they exceed FAR. Kaufman said in the residential zone district a person can build a single family house with 6,000 square feet. If a person owns 36, 000 square feet, they could go through the growth management plan and create six lots. The alternative is to go through lot split, create two lots and not be able to subdivide again. Kaufman pointed out the larger lots could build duplexes on them. Kaufman said s moratorium is not justified but Council should examine each subdivision on a case basis. Lotte Bresnitz said they own six lots which could have three homes or two duplexes and they would like to sell some of their land. Mrs. Bresnitz said the moratorium is not going to solve anything and urged Council to do research without a moratorium. Alma Beck told Council she owns four lots with a house on two of them and would like to be able to sell the other two. Councilwoman Walls said she does not have a problem with lots that have been subdivided for years but with the larger lots that were never more than one lot to start with. Kurt Bresnitz said each application for lot split should be considered on its individual merits. Joe Wells said Council seems to be more concerned with subdivision and zoning issues rather than lot splits. Andy Necht said it would be very difficult for a person who wants just two lots to successfully compete under GMP. Mayor Stirling closed the public hearing. Councilman Blomquist moved to defeat Ordinance #38, and to nullify the administrative delay resolution; seconded by Mayor Stirling. Councilman Knecht said as long as Council can examine each lot split and decide whether there is an impact and decide in favor or against, that is fine. Some lot splits have been approved that have turned into bad situations. Taddune told Council that applicants for lot splits that are turned down have the ability to go through the full subdivision process. Mayor Stirling suggested planning look at zoning amendments so that large lots stay that way. All in favor, motion carried. MEMORIAL SITE - Roaring Fork Vietnam Veterans Mayor Stirling read a letter from the Roaring Fork Vietnam Veterans stating they have decided not to go forward with the site west of the Wheeler and withdrawing their request. NUGGLET LODGE GMP/SPECIAL REVIEW Colette Penne, planning office, told Council originally the employee housing was to be off- site. The applicant agreed to deed restrict one of the 14 units competing for in the GMP as employee housing on-site. Council has seen this application various times earlier this year in rezoning, land exchange. The Nugget 33 original units are being totally renovated, and the applicant ~s competing for 13 L-3 lodge units. This is the only L-3 submission received. P & Z scored this, it exceeded the thresholds. P & Z approved an FAR increase from .74:1 to .92:1; the maximum FAR in the L-3 zone is 1:1. This project has also received HPC approval. Ms. Penne said the annual quota in the L-3 zone is 10 lodge units. There are 3 units available from the previous year which could be carried over. The planning office and P & Z recommend allocating all 13 units in order ~o build the project all at once rather than phasing it. Kaufman explained the employee unit at the Cortina would have had a kitchen. The City's code does not allow a kitchen in a unit. P & Z and the planning office did not agree with an off-site employee unit. Councilman Blomquist suggested a Code amendment to allow kitchens ~n employee un~ts. Mayor Stirling asked if the open space calculations include the pools and jacuzzis. Kaufman said the pools are not counted in open space currently; however, there is an amendment before P & Z to allow these to be counted in open space. Councilman Blomquist moved to adopt Resolution #41, Series of 1984; seconded by Councilman Knecht. All in favor, motion carried. Regular Meeting FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE REPORT Council comintued this to December 10, 1984. ORDINAi~CE ~39, SERIES OF 1984 - Vacation Eubank Alley The ordinance was not prepared by staff. Councilman Blomquist moved to table Ordinance ~39, Series of 1984; seconded by Mayor Stirling. Ail in favor, motion carried. ENCROACHMENT REQUEST - 100 East Bleeker (Gross) Jay Hammond, city engineer, told Council this fence is in exitence and was permitted by the building department not realizing the fence was in the city's right-of-way. The staff recommends granting the encroachment license and have the fence brought into compliance with section 7-141, height restriction for fences on a corner lot. This lot is adjacent to a school and it is important for drivers to be able to see. Mayor Stirling said the fence is 74 inches high, only 11 feet from the stop sign and does create problems2 Mayor Stirling said giving up this city right-of-way is inappropriate and the fence ought to be moved. Councilman Blomquist entered into the record a letter from Francis Whitaker Board of Adjustment member, opposing this fence. Councilman Blomquist moved the request be denied and the applicant be ordered to remove the fence; seconded by Mayor Stirling. All in favor, motion carried. ENCROACHMENT REQUEST - Golden Horn Jay Hammond told Council this is an encroachment request for planters, steps and walkways. This building already encroaches on the mall, the property line is at the building edge. The applicant is renovating the west side of the building, this is an improvement to create a continuous walkway. Councilman Blomquist suggested having them pay for this encroachment like restaurants in the mall. Hammond said restaurants pay because it is income producing space. Mayor stirling said he is concerned because this is a major move into the mall and have the applicant do the improvements within their existing encroachment. Councilman Blomquist moved to table in order to give the applicant a chance to present his case; seconded by Mayor stirling. All in favor, motion carried. ENCROACHMENT REQUEST - Bennett Hall Jay Hammond told Council this is an existing fence on Alta Vista proturuding 16 feet on the south and 11 feet on the north into the right-of-way. The current owner built this replacing a previous fence. Councilman Knecht moved to deny the encroachment request and request that the fence be removed; seconded by Mayor Stirling. Mayor stirling said this fence could hinder snow removal. All in favor, motion carried. RESOLUTION ~42, SERIES OF 1984 - Nuclear Free Zone City Attorney Taddune told Council the Common Sense Coalition is very active about the nuclear issue across the country, and they argue if there is any area that should be nuclear free, it should be Aspen and Pitkin County. Councilman Blomquist moved to adopt the resolution eliminating any reference to interstate highway 1-70. Taddune said the Coalitions main concern is transporting hazardous waste on interstate highways and 1-70 is a feeding corridor into the city of Aspen. Paul Crawford pointed out that Glenwood Canyon was closed recently due an accident and truckers could use highway 82 as an alternate route. Councilman Blomquist said highway 1-70 is part of the national defense highway system. Councilman Blomquist said he did not feel it proper for the City of Aspen to go as far as the resolution does, as the rights to the interstate are federal and controlled by federal law. Crawford said they need that political statement for the congressional hearing in Washington. Crawford said the purpose is for towns and counties to control their own destinies. Maxwell Aley told Council towns and counties can pass regulations as long as they do not undUly impede interstate commerce. There is room for localities to pass regulation concerning safety. Mayor stirling said he felt this is an opportunity for the City of Aspen to make a statement. Councilman Blomquist said he would rather have the resolution say all the roads in the state of Colorado. Aley said 1-70 is a vital transit into Aspen during the winter. Mayor stirling moved to adopt Resolution ~42, Series of 1984; seconded by Councilman Knecht. All in favor, motion carried. PCPA PROPOSAL/MAROLT PROPERTY Council put this off until December 10, 1984 APPEAL DENIAL OF INSURANCE CLAIM - Perlman Mayor stirling said this claim is for $50 for ruined pants, which the city's insurance company turned down. Mayor Stirling said he felt it would be a good gesture to pay the applicant. Councilman Blomquist moved to deny the claim; seconded by Councilman Knecht. All in favor, with the exception of Mayor stirling. Motion carried. 3825 Regular Meeting Aspen City Council November 26, 1984 ORDINANCE ~42, SERIES OF 1984 - Replacement Electric Rates Councilwoman Walls moved to read Ordinance ~42, Series of 1984; seconded by Mayor Stirling.
