July 13, 1987 HAND-DELIVERED Mr. Alan Richman, Director Aspen/Pitkin County Planning Office 130 South Galena Street Aspen, Colorado 81611 Re: Aspen Skiing Company Amendments to Little Nell SPA Precise Plan Dear Alan: We are writing to request certain amendments to the Little Nell SPA Precise Plan which include a proposed revision to our Dean Street ticket kiosk. We feel this should be reviewed in conjunction with the renewal of our Aspen Mountain Vendor's License. Over the past several months, we have made great headway in proceeding with more detailed design phases for the completion of the Hunter and Dean Street plazas, which are public spaces and of interest to the City of Aspen. After our first operating year with the new Little Nell Gondola and use of Hunter Street, we have carefully examined their use and would like to make some refinements. One area we would like to change is the size and location of the Hunter Street ticket kiosk and its obstruction to pedestrian flows on Hunter Street. We are also aware that the Dean Street ticket kiosk has been objected to by a nearby condominium owner, and we have independently taken steps to try to achieve a design that will mitigate reasonable impacts. By this letter, we are asking to accomplish two things. First, we would like to have an agenda time set for the City Council to review our Dean Street kiosk plans, and to renew our Vendor's License Agreement. We believe that a July 27th meeting would work for you and the Aspen Skiing Company. As you know, time is of the essence on this action since we need lead time to make building design and site modification improvements before the start of the ski season. Please find attached a copy of a plan that reflects the new design for the Dean Street kiosk, as well as the Hunter Street ticket kiosk. At that same meeting, we would like to discuss the Vendor's Agreement and show how our new Dean Street ticket kiosk functions more efficiently, and also preserves adjacent property owners' views. ASPEN MOUNTAIN' BRECKENRIDGE' BUTfERMILK MOUNTAIN' SNOWMASS ~ ~\ Mr. Alan Richman July 13, 1987 Page 2 with regard to the Hunter Street kiosk, it is within your authority to adminstratively review and approve minor amendments to the SPA Precise Plan. This authority is contained in Section 24-7.9 and Section 24-8-2.6 of the Municipal Code of the City of Aspen, and we feel that there is adequate authority for you to undertake approval of these changes at the administrative level. The principal change requiring review is a proposed reduced ticket kiosk which, as can be seen on the plan, is proposed for location at the intersection of Hunter and Dean Streets. This building would be located wholly on Aspen Skiing Company land and would occupy far less footprint than the kiosk originally approved in the SPA. The new ticket kiosk occupies about a 120 sq. ft. footprint as opposed to 206 sq. ft. proposed in the original plan. This is about a 40% reduction in floor area. This new kiosk design will accomplish numerous beneficial features. First, by being located further to the south on Hunter Street, people queued in line for tickets will not obstruct pedestrian flow to the mountain and will not create a visual barrier along Durant Street. We feel that the ability to angle these ticket selling spaces at 45 degrees and set it to one corner of the site will preserve flow and the visual entrance to Aspen Mountain, and we request that you approve this change on an administrative level given the authority found in the Code. with respect to the Dean Street ticket kiosk; again, the original building footprint contained about 206 sq. ft. and our revised plan would call for a building of approximately 125 sq. ft. Also, it should be noted that because the existing kiosk is not located on a flat site, it has been jacked to a level condition and is, therefore, a full foot higher than our proposed new building. While our new building represents a 40% reduction in the actual floor area, its reduction is more significant in terms of the total volume reduction of the building. Our philosophy on both of the ticket selling facilities is to make them small and unobtrusive, maximize ease of skier and pedestrian flows on the site, and minimize visual impact. We think these design criteria are compatible with those of the City. We look forward to an opportunity to present our revised plan for the Dean Street kiosk before the City Council, and we seek your administrative approval for the Hunter Street change. Please inform us at your earliest convenience of your disposition on these items and a schedule for City Council review.

Last year the City Council and the Aspen Skiing Company entered into a vendor's agreement which granted the Ski Company permission to vend under the provisions of Section 13-61 of the Municipal Code of the City of Aspen.

Enclosed is a copy of the agreement between the Aspen Skiing Company (ASC) and the City of Aspen which provides in paragraph III that "Vendor may position 'kiosk' in such design and at such locations as approved in writing by the city manager." The present location of the ticket kiosk obstructs the view from several of the resientia1 units in the North of Nell condominium, particularly units 2B, 2C, 2D and 3C. I am enclosing several pictures taken from the interior of Unit 2-C showing the impact of the kiosk. These units are on the Dean Street (south) side of the North of Nell building, and one of the primary values of those condominiums is the view of Aspen Mountain. The Aspen Municipal Code, Section 13-61, provides (in the second sentence) that there may be vending on public rights of way if there is an agreement between the City and the vendor, which agreement is approved by the City Council. The five factors to be considered by the council in approving such a vending agreement are (1) the public need for such service, (2) the availability of existing services, (3) the cost of policing and administering the proposed vending service, (4) what revenues shall accrue to the City for grant of permission to vend and (5) whether the vendor applying for such contract will best serve the public need. The ASC sells lift tickets at their administrative offices, under the gondola, and at the ,~, ~ Robert Anderson April 25, 1987 Page 2 ticket kiosk on Hunter Street. We maintain that the second criteria is not really met by this fact situation and that there is no need for a ticket kiosk on public property. Since there is no need for the service to be on public property, i. e., the services existing on non-public property are or can be expanded to be adequate to serve the public need, the prohibition provided in the first sentence of ~ 13-61 of the Municipal Code should be given due consideration. Under the Municipal Code, the ASC should be required to locate ticket sales facilities on ASC property. There are several alternatives, most of which would be beneficial to the skiing public and the North of Nell Condominium owners without being a significant burden on the ASC. Probably the best solution would be to eliminate the Dean Street kiosk and open additional ticket windows at the Hunter Street kiosk and at the ASC administrative offices. The Hunter Street ticket kiosk is a four-sided building with ticket sales windows on two sides of the building. It could easily be doubled in capacity by opening windows on the two remaining sides of the building. A second alternative is to move the Dean Street kiosk down the hill to the east in front of the ASC administrative offices. This would block some of the view out of the ASC administrative office windows, but it is more appropriate for an ASC sales facility to block ASC office views than for the facility to block the view of neighbors who do not benefit from the ticket facility. A third alternative solution would be to move the Dean Street kiosk to Hunter Street; the pump house on Hunter Street is being removed, and there is room on Hunter Street for another kiosk without interfering with anybody's view. A fourth alternative would be for the ASC to build a ticket booth at the Dean Street level with the back of the booth against the retaining wall for the stairs that are on the west side of the gondola platform. This latter solution may require the moving of a utility box. ' The skiing public would be benefitted by eliminating or moving the Dean Street kiosk. A significant majority of skiers approach Aspen Mountain by the Hunter Street entrance, and only a few skiers approach the mountain by Dean Street. The Dean Street kiosk is not easily visible from Hunter Street by someone who is standing to the north of the Hunter Street kiosk. There are often long lines at the Hunter Street kiosk (all ticket windows are on the north side of the kiosk) when the lines at the Dean Street kiosk are short or nonexistent. If additional ticket ~ ,- Robert Anderson April 25, 1987 Page 3 windows were available in the Hunter Street kiosk area, skiers approaching the mountain from Hunter Street would be able to see and utilize the additional windows and the waiting time for purchasing a ticket would be more evenly disbursed. Further, eliminating the Dean Street kiosk or moving it to the east or against the westerly stairs which approach the gondola building would, in addition to eliminating the interference with the views from several of the North of Nell condominiums, give Dean Street a more "open-space" or "mall" feeling, which would benefit all skiers and users of Aspen Mountain. The only skiers who may have to walk a little further by moving or eliminating the Dean Street kiosk are the few skiers who approach the mountain from Dean Street and use the Little Nell chairlift. Those using the gondola have to walk to and load from the east side of the gondola anyway, so purchasing tickets at the administration office or an expanded Hunter Street ticket booth would not lengthen their walks. Moving or eliminating the Dean Street kiosk would have a minimal impact on the ASC. The kiosk is a temporary building, and the ASC has plans to do significant landscaping along Dean Street this spring and summer. It would be a simple and inexpensive process for the ASC to open additional ticket windows on the south side of the Hunter Street kiosk or at the administrative offices. It would also be relatively inexpensive to move the kiosk or build a different structure near the westerly steps to the gondola platform. I note the agreement is to be reviewed annually. I would appreciate knowing whether this will be an administrative decision made by you or whether this matter will be brought before the council for review. In either event, I would appreciate being advised of the time and place and the forum in which the annual review will be conducted so I can present the request for the relocation.

On the basis of these representations, our association supported ASC's redevelopment of the Little Nell base area. The views from several of the units in our building are severely impacted by the present location of the ticket kiosk on Dean Street. Since it is apparent that Dean Street is not going to be lowered, we request that you exercise your power under paragraph III of the April 28, 1986, vendor's agreement and require that the kiosk be eliminated or relocated so that the top of the kiosk does not extend above the balcony level of the second floor of our building.

As part of my review, I have sought the advice of the city Engineer and City Manager. I have also contacted the representative of the North of Nell condominiums and advised him of my decision. Pursuant to the authority granted to me as Planning Director by section 24-7.9 of the Municipal Code, as affirmed by City Council on July 27, I hereby approve the proposed relocation of the ticket kiosks in Dean Street and Hunter Street. This approval is subject to ASC meeting the following conditions: 1. You must amend the interim SPA plan to show the new locations of the kiosks, and record the amended plan, following its signature by the city Engineer and Planning Director. Further, following construction of the hotel and mall, if additional changes to your approved plan are made, you will be required to record an amended final SPA plan, reflecting cond- itions "as built". 2. As requested by the" City Engineer in his attached memo, you shall be required to rei ocate the fire signal and standpipe in Dean street to his satisfaction. You shall also be required to place an empty conduit under the Hunter street kiosk to accommodate placement of low power utilities in the event of a failure under the structure. 3. Until such time as the mall is built and the sidewalk along Durant Avenue is extended, I am concerned that lines from the ticket windows may conflict with pedestrian conflict. You indicated to me that you would have "ticket-hawkers" out in the mall any time this conflict appeared. I expect you to stand by this commitment, and if it does not turn out to be sufficient, to work cooperatively with the City to resolve any circulation conflicts you cause. ~- f""',. ^ 4.

Anderson, Jr., City Manager Alan Richman, Planning and Development Director Aspen Skiing Company Vendors License Renewal THRU: FROM: RE: DATE: July 24, 1987 ================================================================ SUMMARY: The Planning Office recommends that you grant a one year renewal of the vendor's license for the Aspen Skiing Company to sell tickets at a relocated Dean Street kiosk. We also recommend that you authorize the Planning Director to grant a minor amendment to the approved Little Nell SPA to permit relocation of the Dean Street ticket kiosk. PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION: On April 28, 1986, as, part of your action approving the Little Nell SPA, you granted a vendor's license to ASC to sell tickets from its kiosk located in Dean street, a city right-of-way. Conditions of the license were that it be subject to annual review by city Council and be located and designed in a manner consistent with the approved plan (see attached copy of approved license). BACKGROUND: ASC submitted a request to renew its vedor's license in April. The reason that this item was not brought to Council earlier is that numerous letters, in the form of the one that is attached, were submitted to the City by owners of North of Nell condominiums objecting to the size and location of the existing kiosk. The city Manager and Planning Director have therefore sought to resolve this issue between the affected parties before bringing the license renewal in front of Council. ASC has had several meetings with the representatives of the condominium owners and has identified a new location and design for the ticket kiosk. The applicant's current request for the vendor's license renewal, including the new location for the kiosk, is summarized in the attached letter from Curt Stewart. PROBLEM DISCUSSION: 1. Dean Street Kiosk As can be best demonstrated to you by photographs we will present at the meeting, which were taken from the interior of several of the North of Nell units, the existing kiosk is in a highly obtrusive location and dominates the view for several owners. Looking back at the approved SPA Plan, it is clear that the kiosk was placed in its approved location. However, we set no specific limits on the size of the approved kiosk, relying on an illustrative landscape plan to address its ,-., r\ dimensions. The Planning Office has received a drawing prepared by the applicant showing a new location and configuration for the kiosk. The new kiosk is to be moved back out of the middle of the street and will be nestled into a location next to the stairs, about 10 feet southwest of its current placement. As noted in the applicant's letter, the new kiosk will be approximately 125 square feet, where the existing building is about 206 square feet, and will be reduced in height from its present size of about eleven feet to a proposed height of nine feet. A model of the new kiosk in relation to the North of Nell building and the base area was presented to me. Based upon my review of this model, I am satisfied that the kiosk has been effectively removed from the view of the condominiums. Whereas previously the building blocked the view up the mountain, it now hides the wall on the north side of the stairs and has been moved more into the background than the foreground of the view. Looking at the new location, I feel that it will enhance pedes- trian movements in the base area by opening up Dean street both visually and physically. I have spoken to the representative of the North of Nell owners, who would like to have the building moved back even further, to sit against the stairs. However, based upon the staff's review, there is one technical problem affecting this alternative. There are several transformers and other underground utility connections in this area, several of which were made by the applicant last year to meet conditions of the project, which would be affected by locating the kiosk next to the stairs. I had Jay Hammond review the drawing and he comments that if the kiosk were located against the stairs, it could make maintenance of the sewer, fire and drainage lines beneath the structure very difficult, particularly during winter. There is, however, one factor of public import which may outweigh this technical question. If the kiosk were moved against the stairs it would be entirely on the applicant's property and out of the right-of-way altogether. In a recent visit to the site, I determined that there is room for the kiosk in this location and that it would certainly remain visible to skiers if placed there. While some screening of the transformers in the area would be required, this does not seem to be an insurmountable task. The Planning Office supports the applicant's proposed location and design of the kiosk and recommends its approval by your renewal of the ASC vendor's license. However, if you believe that the benefit of placing the structure on private property outweighs the likely maintenance problems from the location against the stairs, we would support its relocation to that suggested by the North of Nell condominium owners. In either case, according to Section 24-7.9 of the Code, the Planning 2 ,....., ,....." Director is authorized to approve minor changes to an adopted precise plan, if required by technical design needs not antic- ipated at the time of project review. The Planning Director is limited in discretion, in only being able to approve changes in the location, sizing, height and siting of strucures, provided that a series of review critieria are met. These criteria have to do with coverage of structures, use or character of the development, traffic circulation, open space, parking, FAR and density. since the new strucure is to be smaller, have a lesser floor area, height and site coverage, and appears to improve circul- ation, I believe I have the authority to grant its approval. However, due to the delicate nature of this site, and the many issues which arose both during the initial review of the SPA, and now during the vendor's license renewal, I seek your authoriz- ation to take this action before I grant a minor amendment. 2. Hunter street Kiosk After the ski season I was approached by ASC to evaluate the possibility of moving the Hunter Street ticket kiosk. While this kiosk is fully on private property and therefore not subject to a vendor's license, it is part of the SPA. Once again, I believe the Code authorizes me to permit a relocation of the strucure. However, I again seek your authoriz- ation for this action, given the critical public issues assoc- iated with this area. The applicant is requesting to move the kiosk out of the main pedestrian traffic flow in Hunter Street into a new location near the eastern property line of the North of Nell. The applicant's stated reason for this change is to open up the views toward the entrance to the mountain and to permit better pedestrian flows and queuing for tickets. 'The new kiosk will occupy a footprint of approximately 120 square feet, compared to the existing 206 square foot building, and will rise to a height of nine feet, as compared to the existing structure's height of eleven feet. It should also be pointed out to Council that ASC has initiated removal of the pumphouse from the Hunter Street entrance to the mountain, which will also tend to open up this area. We would also like to see the applicant remove or find a better location for the small structure showing the construction plans for the site, which has had the effect of further blocking views and pedestrian movement. Our initial reaction to this proposal is support for the concept of opening up mountain views and improving pedestrian flows. One of the main reasons for having an annual review of the Dean Street kiosk was to evaluate how well it functioned, given the fact that it sits on a public right-of-way. We commend the applicant for recognizing that the Hunter Street kiosk is also not functioning as was hoped, and should be redesigned. 3 I ,-, ~ The main concern with the new location is that it will obstruct the visibility of the store currently occupied by Breeze Ski Rentals. We asked the applicant about moving the location to the eastern side of the property and combining it with other ASC commercial spaces. The response was that this location would allow those on line to be in sun, rather than in shade, and that forcing skiers with boots, poles and skis to enter a building to purchase tickets also would not work. We would note, however, that designing ticket windows into the commercial structure built by ASC which would sit at the building's edge is a very workable concept used at many ski area bases and should be investigated by the applicant. On Friday, July 24, I visited the site with the manager of Breeze Ski Rentals, the manager of the North of Nell condominiums and other condominium representatives. They pointed out to me that the proposed location of the kiosk directly interferes with the location of a door which Breeze is about to receive a permit to construct. They further stated that the had informed ASC of this intention several months back and that my contact with them was their first indication that ASC was moving its kiosk into this location. We spent some time on the site imagining how skier flows would be affected by the proposed relocation and came to the conclusion that wrapping the kiosk around the intersection of Hunter and Dean Streets might cause as many problems as it would solve. We were able to identify several alternative locations for the kiosk which would not totally obliterate the visibility of Breeze, but which would enhance ski area pedestrian movement. I have not yet had a chance to review these alternatives with ASC, but may have done so by the time of your meeting. In any case, based on my meeting with these citizens, I am unable to support the new location for the kiosk at this time. ADVISORY COMMITTEE VOTE: None required. RECOMMENDED MOTIONS: "Move to renew the ASC vendor's license for a period of one year, for the redesigned and relocated Dean Street ticket kiosk." "Move to authorize the Planning Director to grant SPA amendment to the Little Nell SPA to relocate the Dean Street ticket kiosk to the location shown on the site plan."

ASC has had several meetings with the representatives of the condominium owners and has identified a new location and design for the ticket kiosk. The applicant's current request for the vendor's license renewal, including the new location for the kiosk, is summarized in the attached letter from Curt Stewart. PROBLEM DISCUSSION: 1. Dean Street Kiosk As can be best demonstrated to you by photographs we will present at the meeting, which were taken from the interior of several of the North of Nell units, the existing kiosk is in a highly obtrusive location and dominates the view for several owners. Looking back at the approved SPA Plan, it is clear that the kiosk was placed in its approved location. However, we set no specific limits on the size of the approved kiOSk, relying on an illustrative landscape plan to address its r-'\ ,1-'\ dimensions. The Planning Office has received a drawing prepared by the applicant showing a new location and configuration for the kiosk. The new kiosk is to be moved back out of the middle of the street and will be nestled into a location next to the stairs, about 10 feet southwest of its current placement. As noted in the applicant's letter, the new kiosk will be approximately 125 square feet, where the existing building is about 206 square feet, and will be reduced in height from its present size of .about eleven feet to a proposed height of nine ,feet. A model of the new kiosk in relation to the North of Nell building and the base area was presented to me. Based upon my review of this model, I am satisfied that the kiosk has been effectively removed from the view of the condominiums. Whereas previously the building blocked the view up the mountain, it now hides the wall on the north side of the stairs and has been moved more into the background than the foreground of the view. Looking at the new location, I feel that it will enhance pedes- trian movements in the base area by opening up Dean street both visually and physically. I have spoken to the representative of the North of Nell owners, who would like to have the building moved back even further, to sit against the stairs. However, based upon the staff's review, there are two factors preventing this alternative: 1. There are several transformers and other underground utility connections in this area, several of which were made by the applicant last year to meet conditions of the project, which would be affected by locating the kiosk next to the stairs. I had Jay Hammond review the drawing and he recommends that the kiosk be located where the ASC proposes it be placed, rather than against the stairs. 2. Moving the ticket kiosk to this location might make it almost invisible to some skiers unfamiliar with the base area. In its original location, this kiosk did not deflect enough traffic away from the Hunter street kiosk, leading to some unnecessary lines for visitors to the mountain, and obstructing the area for pedestrians. Furthermore, moving this kiosk next to the stairs appears to result in queuing occuring in the path to the stairs, which would hinder base area circulation. The Planning Office supports the new location and design of the kiosk and recommends its approval by your renewal of the ASC vendor's license. Further, according to section 24-7.9 of the Code, the planning Director is authorized to approve minor changes to an adopted precise plan, if required by technical design needs not anticipated at the time of project review. The Planning Director is limited in discretion, in only being able to 2 1""", .~ approve changes in the location, sizing, height and siting of strucures, provided that a series of review critieria are met. These criteria have to do with coverage of structures, use or character of the development, traffic circulation, open space, parking, FAR and density. Since the new strucure is to be smaller, have a lesser floor area, height and site coverage, and appears to improve circul- ation, I believe I have the authority to grant its approval. However, due to the delicate nature of this site, and the many issues which arose both during the initial review of the SPA, and now during the vendor's license renewal, I seek your authoriz- ation to take this action before I grant a minor amendment. 2. Hunter street Kiosk After the ski season I was approached by ASC to evaluate the possibility of moving the Hunter Street ticket kiosk. While this kiosk is fully on private property and therefore not subject to a vendor's license, it is part of the SPA. Once again, I believe the Code authorizes me to permit a relocation of the strucure. However, 'I again seek your authoriz- ation for this action, given the critical pUblic issues assoc- iated with this area. The applicant is requesting to move the kiosk out of the main pedestrian traffic flow in Hunter Street into a new location near the eastern property line of the North of Nell. The applicant's stated reason for this change is to open up the views toward the entrance to the mountain and to permit better pedestrian flows and queuing for tickets. The new kiosk will occupy a footprint of approximately 120 square feet, compared to the existing 206 square foot building, and will rise to a height of nine feet, as compared to the existing structure's height of eleven feet. It should also be pointed out to council that ASC has initiated removal of the pumphouse from the Hunter Street entrance to the mountain, which will also tend to open up this area. We would also like to see the applicant remove or find a better location for the small structure showing the construction plans for the site, which has had the effect of further blocking views and pedestrian movement. Our initial reaction to this proposal is support for the concept of opening up mountain views and improving pedestrian flows. One of the main reasons for having an annual review of the Dean Street kiosk was to evaluate how well it functioned, given the fact that it sits on a pUblic right-of-way. We commend the applicant for recognizing that the Hunter Street kiosk is also not functioning as was hoped, and should be redesigned. The main concern with the new location is that it will obstruct the visibility of the store currently occupied by Breeze Ski Rentals. We asked the applicant about moving the location to the eastern side of the property and combining it with other ASC 3 1"""\. "-,, commercial spaces. The response was that this location would allow those on line to be in sun, rather than in shade, and that forcing skiers with boots,poles and skis to enter a building to purchase tickets also would not work. We concur with these arguments. We believe that the public benefit associated with the new location more 'than outweighs its disadvantages for the neighbor. The underlying CC zone district has no side yard requirement, nor does the adopted SPA Plan set a side yard requirement, meaning that no zoning variations are required for this new location. Once again, we request that you authorize the Planning Director to grant this amendment. ADVISORY COMMITTEE VOTE: None required. RECOMMENDED MOTIONS: "Move to renew the ASC vendor's license for a period of one year, for the redesigned and relocated Dean Street ticket kiosk." "Move to authorize the Planning Director to grant SPA amendment to the Little Nell SPA to relocate the Dean Street and Hunter Street ticket kiosks, as shown on the submitted site plan, subject to the applicant removing or finding a location satis- factory to the Planning Office for the structure showing develop- ment plans for the site." CITY MANAGER COMMENTS: kiosks 4 ,""" ^ MEMORANDUM FROM: Aspen City Council Robert S. Anderson, Jr., city Manager Alan Richman, Planning and Development Director ~ Vendor's License Renewal for ASC Ticket Kiosk TO: THRU: RE: DATE: June 17, 1987 ---------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: The staff recommends tabling of this item. PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION: On April 28, 1986, as part of your action approving the Little Nell SPA, you granted a vendor's license to ASC to sell tickets from its kiosk located in Dean Street, a City right-of-way. Conditions of the lisence were that it be subject to annual review by City Council and be located and designed in a manner consistent with the approved SPA Plan. BACKGROUND: ASC submitted a request to renew its vendor's lisence in April. The reason that this item was not brought to you earlier is that numerous letters were submitted to the City Manager by owners of the North of Nell condominiums objecting to the size and location of the kiosk. Staff therefore determined that it would be most appropriate to attempt to resolve this issue prior to bringing the lisence back to Council. ASC has met with the condominium owners and appears to have identified a new location for the ticket kiosk which will resolve the neighbors' problems. To date, I have not been presented with the drawings for the relocation. I believe that the Code gives me the authority to approve the new location, however, I will not do so until I know it is satisfactory to the neighbors and to Council. I have also been approached by ASC regarding relocating the ticket kiosk in Hunter Street (which is on private property and therefore did not require a vendor's lisence) to improve base area circulation and visibility. ASC also wants to add restrooms at the base area prior to the next ski season. Since both of these activities can also be reviewed and approved by the Planning Director, I recommend they be presented to you with the Dean Street relocation, so we can approve a single base area circulation amendment. RECOMMENDED MOTION: "Move to table until such time as plans for the ticket kiosk relocations and restroom addition are submitted to and. reviewed by the Planning Office staff." ^' , f'""I -~. .'~~~ ""-.- , 1 \1!l%1'J J-".......-"""o .......:.. ...----0;-I,..SFEI~,! ;" "L' J:. _,..,""~.~ ....' ..",," ,,'-I-~r!QI(' Oll:C.l\/",~ ! ,'7"(1' IvtA.NA'U.c,u t:) '>../)..J...'.

MEMORANDUM FROM: Robert S. Anderson, Jr. Alan Richman ~ TO: RE: Dean street Ticket Kiosk DATE: April 21, 1987 ---------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------- You have asked me to advise you on the attached letters from the North of Nell unit owners objecting to the location of the Aspen Skiing company ticket kiosk in Dean Street. Following are my comments in this regard. As part of approving the SPA Plan for the Little Nell Base Area Redevelopment, the ASC asked the City if it could set up ticket kiosks in Dean and Hunter Streets. The Hunter Street location is on private property owned by ASC and was subject only to SPA approval. The Dean street location is within the City right-of- way and therefore, the city Attorney recommended that the kiosk be subject to a vendor's agreement. I attach for your review a copy of the signed agreement. As was recommended by staff, the agreement is subject to annual review and expires on April 28, 1986. I understand, from a conversation with Gideon Kaufman, representing ASC, that a renewal request was submitted to your office today. Paragraph III of the agreement requires you to find that the design and locations of the kiosk must conform to the applicant's Precise SPA Plan. I have reviewed the Precise Plan documents for you, and I find that the kiosk was placed in its proper location. I cannot find any representation in the SPA agreement regarding the height of the kiosk. If the representation referred to in the letters was made at a pUblic hearing, we should ask the owners to provide us with the date. If not, I would suspect that the representation was made at a meeting between ASC and the North of Nell, and that it would be difficult for us to enforce. Please also be aware that I have had conversations with ASC regarding potential relocation of the kiosk in Hunter Street. The applicant is asking me to sign off on this minor change under my authority in section 24-7.9 of the Code. Given the cont- roversy surrounding the Dean Street kiosk, my tendency is to get Council approval of the Hunter Street relocation at the same time as you bring the Dean Street vendor's agreement to Council. Are you planning on this occuring at the May 11 meeting? Let me know if there is anything else you need in this regard. cc: Paul Taddune !"""\ .t""\, Robert Anderson, City Hanager City of Aspen 130 South Galena Aspen, Colorado 81611 Re: Dean Street Ticket Kiosk Dear Hr.
