WHEELER OPERA HOUSE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDATIONS
Eve Homeyer and Bob Murray were present to present the Board's recommendations for tenants
they would like in the Wheeler Opera House. Ms. Homeyer said the Board would like to
make a change in the outlined recommendations as they did not receive materials that were
requested from one bf the proposed tenants. The Board is recommending their number two
choice for this space at the same rent. The proposed tenants are a theatre/opera bar
using 2/3 of the first floor space and an antique shop in the rest of that first floor
space. John Wilcox Productions is proposed for the basement. The Board is recommending
three tenants.
Bob Murray pointed out the reason for changing one of the tenants is explained in their
memorandum of May 12. Murray explained that not getting the requested materials, the
Board felt reflected upon the proposed tenant. The material the Board requested was
financial information. This is a Council decision. Mayor Edel asked if the proposed ~
tenants were ready to sign contracts. Ms. Homeyer said the contracts have not been writteN;
however, the Board explained what things to expect. Murray said that John Wilcox can
proceed as soon as he know the City will approve his proposal. Murray said the Board has
taken the first step, and if Council agrees, they will pursue this further. Murray said
the Board would not recommend these tenants if they felt the proposals were vague.
Ms. Homeyer said the Board has spent much time with the proposals but they do not have the
authority to write the contracts. Ms. Homeyer told Council that Wilcox would have taken
over the entire Wheeler, but the Board felt if they City did not want the building sold,
they should not lease it to one person. Wilcox will have 25 employees. Murray said
that Wilcox Productions will be a new small industry and will use local talent in
productions. Wilcox is eager to do local things, like M.A.A. and Aspen Theatre.
Mayor Edel asked how the monies from the rentals fit into the budget. City Manager
Chapman explained it is lower than originally anticipated. The budget had rental money
from the lobby. The differential in the first full year will be $78,000. When the
rental projections were done, the staff used higher rental rates than the market is
getting today. Mayor Edel asked what this will do to the overall budget. Murray
said the previous task force anticiated $200,000 in revenues and this Board was not sure
what this was based on. Also, half of Hyman street has been designated as box office
and space for the operation of the building rather than rentals. Chapman told Council
the staff used figures that came from the Ski Company's pro forma to do the sale-leasebac]
because the Ski Company said they had done an extensive study.
Mayor Edel asked if the difference would have to come from the general fund. Chapman
explained the land fund is paying the debt service so the Wheeler fund is very viable.
What will be affected is the amount of money available to pay to the land fund from the
Wheeler fund. Mayor Edel asked if the rents being charged is comparable to around town.
Murray said it is higher than some areas because of the value of the Wheeler. Murray
told Council that many realtors in town were very helpful and felt that $26 per square
foot for the first floor is very fair and very good. The Board is suggesting a ten year
lease with two five year options. Murray said the Board felt there should be long term
clients. Ms. Homeyer pointed out they are also recommending a review based on the CPI
every year.
Mayor Edel said he felt a five year lease would be better so that the city can renegotiat~
Mayor Edel asked about Jere Michael's proposal for a restaurant and sidewalk cafe and
that the city would get more money from that. Ms. Homeyer said the Board ran figures
on the proposals and did not see how the city would ever get $26 per square foot from
Michael's proposal. Murray said the proposal was very exciting. However, there are
some side effects to the proposal such as a full restaurant would generate a lot of
garbage. The sidewalk cafe with a canopy is a great idea but may be controversial within
the community and the Colorado Historical Society.
Councilman Collins asked what Wilcox wants the theatre for. Murray explained there will
be productions with dress rehearsals or the last night film. City Attorney Taddune
asked if the Board has addressed royalties. Ms. Homeyer said they will address this;
Wilcox plans to sell these productions to PBS or other channels. Mayor Edel said he is
not in favor of a ten year lease. Sirous Saghatoleslami said a ten year lease would
help as the tenants are all making a large investment. Chapman suggested a ten year
lease with a five year reopening. Mayor Edel said he wanted a review in five years to
see if the city is getting a fair value.
Councilwoman Michael moved to accept the recommendation of the Wheeler Opera House Board
for TV production space, lessee to be John Wilcox; Sirous Saghatoleslami Theatre Bar,
and Ed Addelson for an antique furniture shop, and to ask the Wheeler Board and staff
to use as guidelines for negotiating leases a ten year lease with five year reopener;
seconded by Councilman Parry. All in favor, motion carried.
ORDINANCE #23, SERIES OF 1983 - Rubey Park SPA
Colette Penne, planning office, told Council there are several requests that have to be
dealt with; (1) rezoning from parks to Public/SPA, (2) adoption of a precise development
plan; (3) exemption of the public space from the GMP competition; (4) exemption of the
employee unit, and (5) exemption of parking for the employee unit. Ms. Penne pointed
out this area is from the alley to the north to the sidewalks on the south and an extensi¢
of the malls, making this a total land area of 1-1/4 acres. There was 5,810 square
feet allotted in the 1983 commercial GMP competition. The remaining 9,070 square feet
is consistent with public areas of transit and visitors center.
Ms. Penne outlined the criteria of a specially planned area. One is the compatability
of the proposal with the surrounding area. This transportation visitors center is
proposed to be adjacent to the tourist lodging district and the commercial core. It is
already in use as a transportation center. The building bulk proposed is compatible
with the surrounding buildings. The applicant has placed the building on the westerly
portion of the site to eliminate a canyon effect and also to create a feeling of open
space. This project will nearly double the existing landscaping and open space and
reduce the asphalt paving.
The second criteria is the impacts on traffic, road safety, the availability of on and
off-street parking. This area will be used as a mass transit center with proposed 6 to
16 short term parking spaces. In the winter it would be impractical to drive a car
to the visitor's center. In the summer, people would be more likely to drive to a
visitor's center. This will be a multi-purpose one stop for visitors and 16 spaces shoul(
be adequate. Ms. Penne said the increased safety of this plan is very important.
Ms. Penne said another criteria is the analysis of the community need for the project
and the relationship of the proposal to the goal of overall community balance. Ms. Penne
told Council that the Aspen/Pitkin County transit system is second only in size to
Denver's RTD in Colorado. There are 50 vehicles operating with no center from which to
operate. The development of the transit center is esstential to both residents and
visitors.
Ms. Penne admitted there may not be a demonstrated need for the commercial space. The
quota allocated did not exceed the year's quota and 5810 square feet is necessary to
underwrite the costs of the public part of this project. Rubey park has been shown on
the master plan as a public area and transportation area. The building facade has been
approved by the HPC. This plan is suggested as the precise development plan and would
be recorded. The FAR is 1.5:1, in keeping with the commercial core. The P & Z considere
permitted and conditional uses submitted by the applicant. P & Z was concerned as to
whether a use was commercial or truly a public use and how to determine that. The
public space will lease for a nominal value. P & Z was concerned there may be certain
uses that could be commercial in nature and would get a break by getting into the public
space.
If there is any grey area, this would come to Council to determine whether the use zs
commercial or public. Monroe Summers pointed out that P & Z did not want a restauran~ as
a permitted use becuase it had not competed under GMP. However, in the future if a
restaurant wanted to come in and compete under GMP and be in the commercial space, this
would be a conditional use. Councilman Parry said there should be some sort of food
service available. Ms. Penne said in the 9,070 square feet requested as public space and
an exemption from GMP, part of that space is a 900 square foot snack bar facility. This
is allowed as long as it is accessory to the transit terminal. Councilwoman Michael asked
if "snack bar" precludes a liquor license. Ms. Penne said the public space will be used
for administration of transportation services and the summer and winter activities.
Council discussed restaurant as a conditional use in the transit center and decided to
strike it. Mayor Edel said people waiting for a bus might well want a taste of liquor.
Councilman Parry said he felt Pour la France at the airport works well. Mayor Edel pointed
out it is up to the individual Council whether to grant the liquor license or not.
Councilwoman Michael moved to read Ordinance ~23, Series of 1983; seconded by Councilman
Parry. All in favor, motion carried.
ORDINANCE 923
(Series of 1983)
AN ORDINANCE REZONING THE APPROXIMATLEY .622 ACRES OF LAND OWNED BY THE
CITY OF ASPEN AND KNOWN AS THE "RUBEY PARK" PROPERTY TO "PUBLIC/SPA" FROM
"PARK"; ADOPTING AN APPROVED PRECISE PLAN FOR THE SITE, THE ELEMENTS OF
WHICH PRECISE PLAN WILL CONSTITUTE THE DEVELOPEMTN REGULATIONS FOR THE
AREA AS PROVIDED FOR UNDER SECTION 24-7.2 OF THE ASPEN MUNICIPAL CODE:
AND GRATING GROWTH MANAGEMENT QUOTA EXEMPTIONS FOR PUBLIC USE SPACE AND
EMPLOYEE HOUSING AND A WAIVER, AFTER SPECIAL REVIEW, OF A PARKING
REQUIREMENT FOR THE EMPLOYEE HOUSING UNIT was read by the city clerk
Councilwoman Michael moved to adopt Ordinance ~23, Series of 1983, as amended by striking
restaurant as a conditonal use; seconded by Councilman Parry.
Councilman Collins asked how many employees would be generated by this building, and that
the applicant is only providing one unit. Summers said the applicant is providing two
trailers and one unit in the building. Ms. Penne said that 9 or 10 employees will be
generated by the commercial space. The rationale about the public space is that it is
being provided by the city, who has an on going policy of providing employee housing.
Also, the transit operations are not increasing; the bus drivers are already here.
The space will be used by existing businesses, like ticket sales, summer cultural activitie~s.
Summers said of the 9,000 square feet of public space, about half of it is public waiting
areas, bathrooms, etc. Councilman Collins said he felt a more appropriate place for the
~r~ansportation terminus is at the Rio Grant rather than bringing buses into the center of
town. Councilman Collins said he did not feel this transportation center belongs in tbs
downtown and does not feel it will do the job because of circulation and transportation.
Roll call vote; Councilmembers Collins, nay; Michael, aye; Parry, aye; Mayor Edel aye.
Motion carried. '
POLICE CHIEF SCREENING - PROGRESS REPORT
City Manager Chapman said this is for feedback from Council on the policy procedures and
the philosophy statement. Staff would like feedback from Council in case Council feels
this ~s not going in the right direction. Council requested time to read the policy
statement.
CITY OF ASPEN EMPLOYEE HOUSING
Assistant City Manager Ron Mitchell asked that this be continued until later ~n the week
as the staff is negotiating the price.
DISPOSITION OF OLD GOLF PRO SHOP
Jim Holland, parks director, told Council he would like the authority to take the proper
steps to dispose of the old pro shop. Holland told Council when he wrote the memorandum,
he did not think the day care center people were interested in the building; however, they
are still interested. Holland said he would like to solicit bids for the old pro shop.
Pete Stone said he has had discussions with Council about using the old pro shop as a day
care center. They would move the building and bring it up to code and would expect a
lease they could work with. City Manager Chapman said that Pete and Ruth Stone went to
a lot of work getting figures together about moving and fixing the building. This would
cost $50,000; they would propse a ten year lease with no additional rental. At the end
of ten years, the city would have a building up to code.
Mayor Edel said he had no problems with opening this up for other ideas or bids. There is
a request from the Basalt Lions Club for the building. Lou Buettner, representing the
Basalt Lions Club, told Council they are in the process of getting a central valley
community center going and would like this building for that purpose. They are negotiatin~
for land adjoining Basalt and would move the building to this parcel and bring it up to
code. Council and staff agreed to open this up to bids and have this decided by
June 13th.
ORDINA~NCE ~24, SERIES OF 1983 - Vrany Settlement
City Attorney Taddune siad this ordinance formalizes settling the Vrany lawsuit, which
has been around for 5 or 6 years. Taddune balance the cost of continued litigation versus
cost of the settlement. The settlement is $3400.
Councilwoman Michael moved to read Ordinance ~24, Series of 1983; seconded by Councilman
Parry. All in favor, Councilman Collins abstained. Motion carried.

ORDINANCE ~25, SERIES OF 1983 - Amending Ordinance ~16, Series of 1970
City Manager Chapman told Council the staff has been meeting with the open space group
on technical aspects of this ordinance. Chapman requested this be postponed until May
23.
Councilwoman Michael moved to table Ordinance %25, Series of 1983, until May 23; seconded
by Councilman Collins. All in favor, motion carried.
SUPPLEMENTAL BUDGET APPROPRIATION REQUEST - Roof Repairs
Jim Holland, parks director, said there is roof damage on the Moore pool building, the
mall rest rooms and the parks golf maintenance shop; totalling $11,800. Holland told
Council he cannot accommodate this amount out of his budcet. Councilwoman Michael asked
if the mall restroom building has been open. Holland said they have only been closed
six days. Holland said he put a lot of money into the mall restroom building last year.
Holland told Council the Moore pool is a repair; the other two roofs are installation of
membranes. Councilman Collins asked what it would cost to put membrane on Moore pool.
Holland said about $13,000. Councilman Collins suggested looking at putting a membrane
on Moore pool during the budget. Patching it only lasts a few years.
Councilwoman Michael moved to approve a supplemental budgeu approrpiation for roof repalr~
on Moore pool, the mal restrooms, and the parks/golf maintenance shop totalling $11,825;
seconded by Councilman Collins. All in favor, motion carried.
CCLC BUDGET REQUESTS
Monroe Summers told Council they approve all requests from CCLC for allocation of monies.
The CCLC looked at the 1982 budget to see if there was any carry over. In 1982, the
CCLC has a project to place mall bricks at Rubey park on the corners. Inasmuch as Rubey
park might be construced, CCLC chose not to do the project. There was $13,600 allocated
for the bricks, and CCLC is requesting that Council allow them to carry this forward.
The CCLC gets their budget from 50 per cent of the occupation tax; they anticipate
$42,000 for 1983. The CCLC would also like the overage from collections in 1982 of
$2771.
Councilwoman Michael moved to approve the addition of $16,383 to the 1983 CCLC budget;
seconded by Councilman Collins. All in favor, motion carried.
Summers told Council that the PCPA approached CCLC to see if they would put up funds for
a tree planting program. The CCLC voted to allocated s1500 to the PCPC project. The
PCPA will budget $3500 for tree planting. Councilwoman Michael said this is a fine
idea but she would like the CCLC funds limiting to the city. Council agreed.
Councilman Collins moved to approve the allocation of s1500 from the 1983 CCLC budget to
the PCPA tree planting program within the city limits of Aspen; seconded by Councilman
Parry. All in favor, motion carried.
POLICE CHIEF SCREENING - PROGRESS REPORT
Mayor Edel requested that number 1, undercover work, should be worded more strongly that
police personal should not engage in this. Mayor Edel said number 3 is inappropriately
worded. Councilwoman Michael said the report states the committee agrees that bathroom
checks are appropriate only as part of a bar check and not individual stalls. Council-
woman Michael said she understood that when arrests occur in bathrooms, that either the
charges were dropped or thrown out. City Manager Chapman said the committee distinguished
between bathrooms and individual stalls; the bathroom is part of a total bar check. It
is a public place. The police can make an arrest in an individual stall if there zs
probable cause. City Attorney Taddune explained probable cause versus expectation of
privacy. An individual stall is analagous to a house in terms of expectation of privacy;
however, if a police officer is in a public area and sees a crime being committed, he
has the ability of arrest.
Mayor Edel said the Council has said all along that the law should be pursued. The modus
operendi of going into stalls is a step beyond. City Attorney Taddune said in disausslng
police protection, there is a citizen requesting protection. The problem with the
bathroom search is that there is no one requesting police protection. An office is
making a move into an area that is traditonally a private area. Chapman said some bar
owners call and tell the police there is a problem in their establishment. Mayor Edel
agreed that would be pursuit of the law. Chapman said the committee said that bars in
town are a focus of problems in town that the police have to deal with, drunkeness and
drugs being the two main one. The committee said the police have to develop a total
routine for dealing with those two problems. Mayor Edel said he has no problem with
the police making the bathroom part of the total tour.
Chapman said the committee tried to distinguish between tactics that pro-actively cause
a crime to occur where it would not have occurred otherwise. Many times this is a judgment
call. Mayor Edel said he is much in favor of Council not renewing or approving liquor
license where offenses happen very often. Council went over the report from the police
chief screening committee and agreed with the report. (Councilwoman Michael left Council
Chambers.
REPORT FROM CHILD CARE COMMITTEE
Phoebe Ryerson read, "The full belief in community service of residents of all ages and ful
concern for the senior citizens have responded to the sudden availability of space at the
Aspen Community Center building. The availability of space has revived the possibility of
a long proposed and suddenly recognized fulfillment of a pressing need. 80 per cent of
Pitkin County residents are under the age of 40; over 400 babies have been born in the
Aspen Valley Hospital in the last four years and all of those, of course, are pre-school
age. In answer to the pleas of a young mother, this involved investigation of the space,
presentation of a plan to the County Commissioners, set up a Board, and research the
State licensing rules and regulations. A Steering Committee was formed and preliminary
information sheets and petitions were designed and distributed. A general meeting was
set for May 9th, 1983, non-profit paperwork was initiated, a lawyer and CPA went for the
non-profit status and tax account. The governing board is to consist of registered
parents, rather than bureaucrats. This was approved at the general meeting. Many people
have signed the petitions for the concept of a child care center for the children of
working mothers and others for available space."
John Walker told Council there are four executive members putting together the plan, gettin
a license from the State. The Commissioners have approved the idea. There are two rooms
at the community center for this day care center. The Board is in the process of trying
to find a director for this center. This will be an inexpensive day care center for locals
This is all in the planning stages. Walker said they would like the moral support of the
Council. The Ski Company has donated a fence for the outside. The Board plans to go to
the community for donation of furniture, toys, etc. Walker said because of the state
requirements, they will only have 7 children right now. In the long term plan, if they
get all six rooms, they can handle 25 children. Mayor Edel said the Council supports this
plan and requested a report on the progress.
FOREST SERVICE ASSESSMENT MANAGEMENT
Mark Fuller introduced the Forest Asset management plan, which is a word for unwanted,
unused or unmanageable lands. The County passed a resolution strongly condemning the
program in fairly general terms. This programs intends to take parcels of land and sell
them at market value to the highest bidder. Fuller said he feels this is a dangerous
and foolish program. Fuller requested from Council an endorsement of the County's
resolution. Mayor Edel asked what happens beyond the resolution. Fuller said the
resolution has gone to the Congressional delection, who seem to have the same qualms.
Fuller said the county plans to continue to lobby Congress. Fuller said the resolution
states there are already adequate laws on the books for sale of Federal properties to
other appropriate governmental entities. City Manager Chapman suggested bringing this
back in resolution form for the next meeting.
REPORT ON JULY ARTS FESTIVAL
Monroe Summers reminded Council they had presented this previously and Council asked the
staff to talk to the neighborhood and the business community to see what the reaction was.
Summers said he has talked to the business and restaurant community and to the CCLC and has
yet to get a negative response. Rich Perez told Summers it was good to get the location
away from the commercial core. Lester Ware went to the title company and sent letter to
property owners about this festival. Remo Lavagnino, representing the Oklahoma Flats
neighborhood, said it is difficult to determine what the impact of 100 boothes would be.
Lavagnlno said they were concerned about the noise and asked the hours of operation. Ware
said they were flexible and planned on 10 a.m. to 4 or 5 p.m. Lavagnino said that was
reasonable. Lavagnino said he was concerned about people parking on the only road in
Oklahoma Flats and blocking access. Councilman Parry suggested putting sawhorses up with
signs, residents only. Lavagnino said he felt July 2, 3, and 4 was an appropriate time
for an arts festival; however, he did not want this to be a precedent because residents
and visitors both like this area for its quiet quality. Jeanne Bascom asked if the festiva~
could go until 6 p.m.; Lavagnino had no objections. Ms. Bascom told Council this festival
is a benefit for the human services in the community center.
Councilman Collins moved to approve a vendors agreement for the arts festival subject to
the city attorney's approval; seconded by Councilman Parry. All in favor, motion carried.

City Manager Chapman pointed out this is in regards to the transit fund. The agreement
with the Ski Company expires at the end of the 1983 ski season. There were a number of
items of actual expenses charged, but the Ski Company had no obligation to pay for them.
They are paying only for the cost of the support service both in the general fund and the
~ransportation fund. More buses were provided when Snowmass intercept lot was opened;
the city agreed to provide additional buses without any increase in cost, which comes to
$20,000 a year in subsidy.

HOUSE ON CAPARELLA PROPERTY
City Manager Chapman explained this is property the city recently acquired with a house
on it. Tom Cardamone of A.C.E.S. sent a letter requesting the city donate the property
for their use during the summer time. Chapman said there is a tenant who pays the rent
on time and would like to stay there. If Council wants to give A.C.E.S. the property,
they would like it by the end of June. A.C.E.S proposal is in lieu of rent, that their
intern would clean and repair the property. Councilman Collins pointed out that A.C.E.S.
only wants the house for a couple of months, and the city has a paying tenant. Council
agreed to keep the tenant in the house.
Councilman Parry moved to adjourn at 8:20 p.m.; seconded by Councilman Collins. All in
favor, motion carried. Council went into executive session.
