City Manager Russ Campbell explained a nnmber of~petitions have been submitted outlining their concerns of maintenance, sanitation problems, administration and financing. Stated the expenditures of the project will not begin to touch the revenues of the 7th penny sales tax. Petitions further called for a formal election on the mall, feel that was decided last fall. Feel that by the adoption of the'7th penny sales tax.election~ People were for the malls and that ~estion had been answered. A~month ago, Paul Anderson brought to Council's attention that 500 to 1,000 ZG cars entered the core area every morning so there is a tourist problem and the local problem. The success of the mall is going to depend on the cooperation of the local people and uCilization of the parking being~provided City Clerk Lorraine Graves read the statement of the petitions which outlined their reasons for objection: "We the undersigned do hereby oppose, object to, snd protest the pedestrian msll as proposed in that certain Resolution of Intention adopted by the Aspen City CounCil on March 26, ~973 and designated as Resolution #6, Series of 1973, for the'following reasons: We believe that the Resolution of In'tention must contain a more definite s'tatement in respect to the funding, developmeht, mai~t~nance,~and'contin~ing admit%stration of the proposed pedestri~an mall, atl~of whieh:matters~are~extren.ely~importmnt to th~ several property owners and businessmen who will be located on or who will otherwise be affected by the~proposed pedestrian mall, and also, as a matter Of good planning and goodadminis- tration of local government, ~O'the e~tire~commnnity. We are further ouite concerned that the Resolution of Intention does not make sny definite'provision for the affected pzoper~yowners~and~their ten~nt~?b~sine~smen, and other directly interested parties to have an active voice in the continuing administr~stion of the mall. It is important that such representation be assured. We believe that the Resolution of Intention should contain a definite statement as to how the~City Council,anticipates future improvements to the mall:shall be paid-for. ,Such a statement appears to be reauired by the Public Mall Act of 1970. We believe that the matters of parking space and public transportation to ~nd from the com~nercial core area of Aspen should be given,~more-immedlate attention-and~should~be given priority o~er the proposed pedestrian mall, or at the very least should be considere in some detail in connection with the proposed mall. V Paragraph 4 of the Resolution of Intention~provides that,-it is~the'intention~of City Council to adopt an ordinance prohibiting all vehicular traffic on the proposed pede- strian mall, with~the possible exception~of service vehicular t=affie~to~%the alley in Block 89 through the mailed portion, or, Milt Street lying Northerly of-such alley. We would re- mind City Council that it is absolutely necessary for the several property owners and busi- nessmen located in Block 89 to be assured of definite, continuing~vehicular access to the alley for service vehicles in connection with their properties and businesses. The. Reso- lution of Intention must definitely provide for such access. VI ~: , . ' We understand that there are provisions in the Public Matl~Act~of t9~0 and in the Resolution of Intention for the imposition of special assessments on abutting property owners in order to fund the proposed pedestrian malt.~~ We think this patently unfair and ineouitable and wish at this time to voice our protes~ to~-~ny such special assessments on abutting property owners in connection with the proposed mall. VII We all believe sincerely that the establishment-of the proposed pedestrian mall, with its related issues of planning, funding, development, maintenance, administration and the like, are of sufficient importance to the community to be put.to a vote of the qualified electors of the City of Aspen. There are important and perhaps sensitive issues involved in connection with the proposed pedestrian mall, and there appears to exist considerable differences in the intensity of feelings of those persons interested in the mall. Surely it would be to the benefit of all persons concerned, and to.-the entire community, if the matters contained in this statement were considered and the community be given an op- portunity to express its attitude in respect to the proposed pedestrian mall. For the foregoing reasons, the undersigned do hereby oppose, object to, and protest the proposed pedestrian mall and ask that this statement be considered by the Aspen City Council and be read and fully discussed at the public hearing now scheduled to be held on June 4, 1973 in connection with the proposed pedestrian mall.
