Anderson, Jr., city Manager ~ steve Burstein, Planning Office ~ Smuggler Mobile Home Park SPA Precise Plan Amendment: Reduction in Guest/Long Term parking TO: THRU: RE: DATE: January II, 1988 ================================================================ SUMMARY: The Planning Office and Planning and Zoning Commission recommend to city Council approval of the smuggler Mobile Home Park SPA amendment to reduce the number of parking spaces along the southern edge of the Park from 37 to 7 spaces subject to five conditions. ZONING: Mobile Home Park (Specially Planned Area). LOCATION: Along northeastern City limits and accessed off Gibson and spruce Streets. APPLICANT'S REQUEST: The Smuggler Mobile Home Owners Association requests an amendment to the SPA Plan to reduce the number of guest/long term parking spaces along the southern edge of the park from 37 to 7. The remaining area would be used as common open space. BACKGROUND: The original SPA Plan and Subdivision Agreement was approved in February, 1982. An amendment was approved in May, 1986 to accomplish conversion of the lease-holds into fee- simple lots. PROBLEM DISCUSSION: A. Referral Comments: 1. Engineering Department: Chuck Roth commented in a November 19, 1987 memorandum (attached) on preparation of the amended plat and the apparent adequacy of parking given compliance with the 1 space/bedroom code requirement. It was also noted by the Engineering Department that the trash enclosure, berm and one of the parking spaces protrude into the access easement along Gibson Street, and would have to be relocated if Gibson Street widening ever required that space. 2. Environmental Health Department: Rick Bossingham noted in 1 ~ ,- his November 23, 1987 memorandum: a. The Environmental Protection Agency's water sampling well in the area must not be disturbed by any construc- tion activity. b. It is advisable to pave the surface of the proposed parking area to keep any possibly contaminated soils from bepoming airborne. 3. Fire Marshal: Wayne Vandemark commented that the seven space parking area should be reconfigured to allow a five foot wide opening in front of the fire hydrant. Two 3" diameter pipes should be placed designating the opening restricted from parking. 4. Police Department: A memorandum from Rocky Whitford of the Aspen Police Department dated June 29, 1987 was submit- ted stating that only one complaint has been received about stored vehicles in the Park; and the vehicles in question were removed soon after. 5. ci ty Attorney: Paul Taddune noted in his November 16, 1987 memorandum that both long-term parking and parks were major concerns at the time of reviewing the original SPA. B. Staff Comments: As stated in the application, at the time of original approval the mobile home park had a significant parking problem which prompted the City to designate a long term parking storage area. While the strip of land on the south edge of the Park was not especially well suited for parking, it was the only area large enough to accommodate parking of many vehicles. At this time it does not appear that there is a major parking problem requiring 37 spaces to continue to be provided. The applicant has pointed to a number of reasons why the seven parking spaces proposed should be sufficient. Staff confirmed in a site visit that there are indeed two or more on-site parking spaces on each mobile home lot. The Park appears to be generally clear of excess parked vehicles; and there are approximately 25 spaces in four separate areas for guest parking in the Park without the subject parking area. The ballot sent by the Mobile Homeowners' Association to all the homeowners confirms that most residents do not perceive a large parking problem (42 in favor of the plan and 9 opposed). In addition, there is a trade-off between abundant parking and usable public open space, particu- larly given the numerous homes abutting this area. Finally, there are practical difficulties in implementing the 37 space parking plan because of the actual grade of the land (the last few feet of land falls off steeply to the south), disturbance of poten- tially contaminated soils, and a fence belonging to a private party that may have the right to continue. 2 ,- .-" The parking area is reasonably well screened by the dumpster enclosure and a planter/berm. There are no plans to widen Gibson street at this time; therefore, there does not seem to be a problem with the encroachment into the access easement. It appears that the parking area needs to extend slightly farther back (east) to accommodate a clear area in front of the fire hydrant, as recommended by the Fire Marshal. The parking area should be paved as suggested by the applicant and the Environmen- tal Health Department. ADVISORY COMMITTEE VOTE: The Planning and Zoning commission passed a motion on December 8, 1987 recommending to council approval of the requested SPA amendment subject to the five conditions stated below. RECOMMENDED MOTION: "Move to approve the Smuggler Mobile Home Park SPA Amendment to reduce the number of parking spaces along the southern edge of the Park from 37 to 7 subject to the following conditions: 1. An amended plat shall be recorded meeting the standards of section 20-15 of the Municipal Code to the satisfaction of the city Engineer and city Attorney. 2. The parking area for seven vehicles shall be reconfigured to allow a 5 foot opening in front of the fire hydrant. Two 3" diameter pipes shall be placed designating the opening restricted from parking. The parking area shall be paved by no later than June, 1988. 3. The Environmental Protection Agency's water sampling well in the area must not be disturbed by any construction acti vi ty . Landscaping or a curb shall be placed north of the well so that vehicles will not obstruct it. 4. In the event that the Mobile Homeowners Association discovers that more parking spaces for guest and long-term parking are needed it shall initiate an amendment to the SPA plan creating additional spaces. 5. The remaining area along the south border of the Park shall be designated on the plat as common open space." smhp12.3 3 ,1""'"\ ,""" MEMORANDUM To: Steve Burstein, Planning Office From: Chuck Roth, Engineering Department ~~ Date: December 4, 1987 Re: Smuggler Mountain Park SPA/PUD Amendment These comments are submitted in addition to the comments submit- ted on November 19, 1987. 1. It should be pointed out to the applicant again at this time that portions of the dumpster area, the landscaping berm, and the proposed parking "encroach" into the right-of-way easement. If at some time in the future the City desires to utilize its easement rights, the applicant would need to remove its facili- ties from the easement area. 2. Concerning the fire hydrant which is located in the proposed parking area, please note that the Model Traffic code, Sec. 11-1 (b)(2) prohibits parking on streets within fifteen feet (15') of a fire hydrant.

TO: Steve Burstein, Planning Office FROM: Chuck Roth, Engineering Department C:~ November 19, 1987 DATE: RE: Smuggler Mountain Park SPA/PUD Amendment =============================================================== Having reviewed the above referenced application, the Engineering Department has the following comments: 1. Please note that the title of the plat and first amendment is Smuggler Mobile Home Park Subdivision. 2. Since the park has reported that they comply with the code parking space requirements, it appears that the additional parking spaces provided in the southern open space are unnecessary. One concern could be that on condominium plats, it is required to show the parking spaces on the plat. The platting of Smuggler Mobile Home Park does not show the parking spaces on each lot. The plats also do not show any easements for parking which were referred to in the last paragraph on the first page of the application. Is there a mechanism within the Declaration of Covenants or the Subdivision Agreement which stipulates that each space shall maintain on-site parking in the amount of one space per bedroom? Present and future owners should be protected from someone turning a parking space into a lawn and looking for parking off of the mobile home site. 3. The last paragraph on page 2 - The plat scales off at about 46' for width of the sUbject strip of land. If there is a plat error, it must be corrected. Perhaps the "front-row" owners have encroached into the area.

FROM: Smuggler Board of Directors DATE: September 16, 1987 HE: Smuggler Mt. Park plat/ parking in south common area As you are aware, Smuggler Mt. Park has been required to install thirty-seven (37) parking spaces in the southern open space area as shown on the final subdivision Plat approved by City Council April 7, 1982. We, as homeowners in this community, and the Board of Directors of Smuggler Mt. Park, petition the P & Z to amend the plat for the following reasons. In 1982, when the park and council finalized the plat, our community was littered with vehicles and most homes and surround- ing areas were in disrepair, prompting P & Z and City Council to suggest and require that we provide long term storage parking for all the extra vehicles that were clogging the streets at that time. The only space large enough for such parking was in the front strip of land on the southern border of the park property we will call the south common area. At that time, an old potholed road was there, closed off to through traffic. In 1983, the road was dug up, top soil was spread and grass seed was sown at the expense of the park, with labor supplied by the front-row owners. At that time, the Board felt that a grassed area would still allow parking and improve the looks of the park simultaneously. Recently we have been told that the minimum city engineering code requirement for parking is road base with gravel. We feel that in the last 5 years this community has made great accomplishments in cleaning up the park, due in large part to pride in ownership. New roads and strict adherence to parking regulations has helped turn this park into a much more beautiful place to live in and has alleviated the parking congestion foreseen in 1982. The actual needs of the community for storage parking has diminished to only a few requests in the past 5 years. Every unit maintains 2-3 parking spaces on their land or adjacent easement, with no parking on the 20ft. roadway, even though State law allows us to park on one side of a 20ft. road. (see attached). In addition, we have 20 guest spaces spread around the park for overflow. We comply fully with the general rule of one space per bedroom told to us by the city engineer. We have found that nobody knows exactly why we are required to supply storage parking on our common areas. No other high 1 '" . ,- ("'""'\ density areas provide this service to their tenants or owners, or are required to, with the exception of the county mobile home parks downvalley. After checking with them we found their long- term areas are nothing but junk yards cluttered with unwanted vehicles. Attached is a letter from the APD stating complaints in the last 5 years about parking park, except one recently involving the disputed ter shows the potential for abuse of the system. they have had no problems in the area. This let- Also attached is a letter from Mike Keeffe, PCSO, stating his feelings on long-term storage parking. The potential for abuse is great, as is the potential for vandalism, fire danger and danger to children playing in the area. At this time, the area is being used as a play area by children, many under the age of six. Insurance liability is also of major concern, who would be liable for vandalism or injury? According to Tom Dunlop, another serious concern should be the EPA injunction on the Smuggler area. The administrative order states that we are not allowed to move dirt without their approval. Compliance with EPA regulations on moving dirt could drastically increase the costs of such a project. Concern has been raised about future storage parking needs, our view is that this community should not be in the storage business. Long-term storage parking only creates an opportunity for people to abandon vehicles out of their sight or use those vehicles for storage sheds at a much cheaper cost than it would to rent a storage unit down valley. We feel we want to dis- courage the accumulation of extra vehicles instead of encouraging by installing a large parking lot. People needing to store seasonal vehicles (R.V's, boats, etc.) should be encouraged to make their ,own arrangements for storage other places, instead of squeezing them into an already crowded environment. Pursuant to P & Z demands, we called in a contractor to bid on doing the first phase of the project. He immediately pointed out that there isn't enough room for the parking spaces required on the plat. The plat shows a 40ft. wide strip of land. In reality, we have less than 28ft. in most areas. With an 18ft. parking space, that only leaves 10ft. for pull in and turn around, and would be very difficult to clear in the winter considering a gravel surface and dead end road. To achieve the 40ft. wide area we would have to move or cut down approx. 27, 30- 50ft. trees, also we would have to move a 300ft. fence that is presently on our property by 3-5ft. We have been told that this fence is "grandfathered" at this time. Even if we could move it, the cost for a tiewall, because of terrain considerations, could cost as much as $15,000.00. 2 '. .. ,-.., ,- In accordance with a letter from Allen Richman, (attached) and suggestions by Steve Burstein, and Patsy Newbury, who both visited the area this summer, we decided to find out how the community felt about the issue. We gave the residents a choice of two options we thought would be feasible. (see newsletter and ballot). We held a full vote of the community, and had an over- whelming response in favor of leaving the south common area as open space for all to use and develop long-term/guest parking on the west end of the south common area. Our suggestions to P & Z and City Council to amend the plat are as follows; 1) ALLOW US TO START PARKING DIRECTLY BEHIND THE DUMPSTERS Starting parking at the dumpsters allows enough room for vehicle entry, parking and turn around. Grassing this area (as shown on plat) benefits no one. It is the most viable area for parking. Existing dumpsters are partially on city easement. We checked with Jay Hammond and he says they have no plans in the foreseeable future for,that easement. The parking area will be bermed and the view from Gibson Ave. will be blocked. A new complete dumpster enclosure will also block the view of the parking area. 2) PUT IN 7 LONG-TERM/GUEST PARKING PLACES By putting in seven spaces we can utilize the most ap- propriate area for parking (easy access, hidden from view) and concentrate on a much nicer entranceway. A more durable surface, such as black top or concrete, is being discussed. An important part of our plan is a complete dumpster enclosure. Discussions with BFI have given us some guidelines. This will cost a great deal more because the dumpster area must be paved with concrete, but we believe the entranceway must be as nice as possible because of its high visibility. 3) RETAIN REMAINDER OF SOUTH AREA AS COMMON OPEN SPACE We suggest that the remainder of the area be used as an off- street, protected play area for all in the park. Many of the younger children in the park live on or near the front row and use this area for play already. Access to the area is from either end and will always be open to all residents. Finally, this community has limited funds for beautification and upgrading of common areas. Careful consideration of how we spend the funds should reflect the long term goals of the city and our community, and our commitment to turn this park into something of which we can all be proud. 3 I'""- .1"""\ Mr. Murray Cunningham F'chrnary 4, 1987 Pil<.le 2 Thf:SC clarificationn of the approvc,] Subdivisi.on and SPA plan appear t.o meet the defirlition of minor cklllges in Section 24-7.9 of the Nunicipal Cooe that the I'lanllill'.l Director may authorize.

' ~ -- ,(""" '- SMUGGLER MOBILE HOME OWNERS ASSOC. 301 OAK LANFJ ASPEN, COLORADO 81611 J.uly 24, 1987 Your Vote is Needed On This Issue When we originally purchased Smuggler Mobile Home Park from Mr. Lipkin in 1982, the P & Z committee demanded creating 37 Long Term/Guest parking spaces as a condition for this purchase. , The area chosen was the old Front-Row Road which at that time was chip and sealed but full of potholes. This area was jointly purchased and owned by every homeowner in the Park. . . In 1983, the "paved" area was dug up, top soil was spread, and grass seed sown at the expense of the park with labor supplied by front row owners. At the time the Board felt that a grassed area would still allow parking and improve the looks of the Park simultaneously. Long Term parking is a county code requirement. At the time of our annexation into the City of Aspen, ~he P & Z used this code as a model of what trailer living should be. However, due to local controls, we are not governed by county statutes.... allowing us to look at alternatives for usage of this area. We have been informed by the City Building Dept that code regulations require vehicles be parked on a durable surface either paved or graveled. It is NOW necessary for us to meet this requirement. A durable surface must be provided for our Long Term/Guest parking this summer. The association has set aside the necessary funds for this project. WHICH MEANS...we need to dig up what has been planted and install a durable surface....ASAP....we will also reconstruct the dumpster enclosure. At the request of the front row owners, the Board is evaluating the present and future needs of the community for parking. A physical inspection of the area reveals that approximately 20 rather than 37 parking spaces are available with the cars parallel (not angle) along the entire front row park boundary. The City has proposed a three stage implementation of this pa~king area... approximately 1/3 of the parking spaces eyery year until completion starting in 1987 and completing by 1989. There would be yearly maintenance expenses including plowing, weed eating etc. This arrangement will allow for you and future' homeowners to park for a fee (as determined by the Board) any extra vehicles such as campers, boats, etc. that meet the size regulations. It has been recommended by the Board that we approachP & Z proposing that the Old Front Row Road (now Long Term/Guest parld ng) be designated "Common Open Area" for use by all the people in the park. If at sometime in the future it is decided by a majority of homeowners to change the Common Open Area designation back to Long Term/Guest parking usage, the Board strongly feels that option does remain. We would create ONLY SEVEN Long Term/Guest parking spaces at the Gibson entrance directly behind the dumpster. This area would be cement or blacktop. There would also be yearly plowing, grass cutting and other maintenance costs for this area. These expenses are comparable to Plan A. Plan B would definately limit our ability top:. rk v,ehicles on a Long Term basis. However, we are not eliminating Long Term Parking storage. At present 20% or five Long Term Parking spots are provided in our Guest Parking area (as of today four are al- ready taken). Designating the old Front Row Road area as "Common Open Space" (Plan B) would limit us to 13 Long Term parking spaces at this time. ,~- " ' ,-' '-- -, '"" THE BALLOT Your Board o~ Directors ~eel that Plan B is preferable and if your ballot is not received by August 5. we'assume that you agree to the Board's recommendation of Plan B, .

In my experience as a wrecker operator and deputy sheriff in Pitkin County, designated long term storage lots give rise to thes€ specific problems: 1) Abandoned (junk) vehicles: As the parking spots are not in regular use, junk vehicles "breed", causing eyesores, cheap storage and a hazardous environment for "short people." Contractual use of the lots can give a person the opportunity to legally park/store,a vehicle even when they have moved away from the park. 2) A plethora of paperwork in disposing of the vehicle in a timely, economical manner. If you need further information, please do not hesitate to contact me. !0.:fl:t~ftf Pitkin County Sheriff's Office MK/lk ROBERT C.

Staff Comments: As stated in the application, at the time of original approval the mobile home park had a significant parking problem which prompted the City to designate a long term parking storage area. While the strip of land on the south edge of the Park was not especially well suited for parking, it was the only area large enough to accommodate parking of many vehicles. At this time it does not appear that there is a major parking problem requiring 37 spaces to continue to be provided. The ';'( ~vv\( applicant has pointed to a number of reasons why the seven NJ)l.i ,$ A' +;""1 parking spaces proposed, should be sufficient.

The ballot sent by the Mobile Homeowners'Association to all the homeo~ers confirms that most residents do not perceive a large > parking problem (42 in favor of the plan and 9 opposed).' In addition, there is' a trade-off between abundant parking and usable public open space, particu- larly given the numerous homes abutting this area. Finally, there are practical difficulties in implementing the 37 space parking plan because of the actual grade of the land (the last few feet o,f land falls off steeply to' the south), disturbance of poten- , tially contaminated soils, and a ,fence belonging to a private party that may have the right to continue. The parking area is reasonably well screened by the dumpster enclosure and a planter/berm. There are no plans to widen Gibson Street at this time; therefore, there does not seem to be a problem with the encroachment into the aC.cess easement. It appears that the parking area, needs to extend slightly farther back (east) to accommodate a clear area in front of the fire hydrant, depending on the Fire Marshal's requirements. The parking area should be paved as suggested by the applicant and the Environmental Health Department. 2 I'"'. f~, RECOMMENDATION: The Planning Office recommends P&Z to recommend to council approval of the smuggler Mobile Home Park SPA Amend- ment to reduce the number of parking spaces along the southern edge of the Park from 37 to 7 sUbject to the following condi- tions: 1.

Neale Avenue Aspen, Colorado 81611 Dear Mr. Cunningham, The Planning Office has reviewed your proposal for phased implementation of the Smuggler Mobile Home Park's guest/long term parking plan. We also met with Zoning Officials Peggy Severs and Bill Drueding to arrive at the following approach: 1. 37 "guest parking" spaces are shown in the MHP's southern parking area on the Final Subdivision Plat of Smuggler Mobile Home Park, approved by City Council April 7, 1982. The Planning Office supports changing the plat to state "guest and long-term parking" (including RV parking) because, as you indicated, there appears to be demand for both guest and long-term parking. The arrangement of space for guests only and long-term only would be handled by the Homeowners Association and need not be specifically stated on the plat. 2. Phases for creating the parking spaces should be done in a logical progression so to arrive at complete implementation in three years. We can support the following phases: Phase I (June 15, 1987): west 12 spaces Phase II (June IS, 1988): middle 12 spaces Phase III (June 15,1989): east 13 spaces 3. Spaces must meet the standard size of 8 1/2' by 18' and be graveled according to City Engineering Department minimum standards. 4. The common open space area north of the parking strip where dumpsters presently sit shall be grass covered, to be planted by June 15, 1987. .'::...... .!" ,- ~ ...c' . Mr. Murray Cunningham February 4, 1987 Page 2 These clarifications of the approved Subdivision and SPA plan appear to meet the definition of minor changes in Section 24-7.9 of the Municipal Code that the Planning Director may authorize. If the conditions are acceptable to you, we propose to bring authorization forward as a .consent agenda" item of the Planning and Zoning Commission. There is no fee for this review. If you have arrived at another arrangement for your parking needs, as we discussed, then we would be pleased to consider that arrangement instead. However, in the absence of another proposal, the plat is the governing document.

Steve Burnstein City/County Planning Dept. 130 S. Galena St. Aspen, Colorado 81611 . Dear Steve, 10/21/86 I am writting this letter pursuant to our conversation of last week, conserning the RV storage parking at the southern most portion of Smuggler Mobile Home Park. As you know the area is now grass, and has been used for long-term storage parking as such. Through conversations with Peggy Seager at the Building Dept., we have become aware that this area needs a durable surface to be used for"that purpose. In light of the fact that this mobile home Park is a com- promise of many concerns, ie. open space/guest parking. We would like to propose to the Planning Dept. the ability to phase the im- plementation of this parking area (34 apaces) based on demonstrated need. At present our manager, Michael Sekaros, informs me that our 21 spaces for guest parking (non-resident) has been adequate to meet our needs. In addition our long-term storage needs (resident over- flow parking) has ranged from 3-7 vehicles in any period. These figures are based on the four years since the Park was bought by the homeowners from Aspen Mtn. Park. In light of this usage Smuggler Mobile Home Park would like to began implementation of its parkimg as follows: I ' 1; . c,' if~>{ - "Dha 0 /' 1../\(,/I.i.' fA! ',' Ii I,.

By creating 4 additional Guest Parking spaces at the - western end of the southern parking area. This would bring the total Guest-only spaces to 26. 2.

As demand warants increases for storage parking the Park will create additional storage spaces by increments of 5 spaces until all 30 spaces are in use. This would allow for the 56 additional Guest/RV storage parking spaces provided for in the Final Submission to the City. (,v.A.{ j Y'Of:wW,..
