This memorandum is to provide you with a summary of the information provided by the school district on the new elementary school. The school district will hold a public meeting for the BOCC and P & Z this coming MONDAY the 12th of Febuary at 7:00 on the secound floor of the Middle School.~Phe elementary school is to be relocated and built on a consolidated Aspen School District Campus (ASDC) located off of Maroon Creek Road. As you are aware, the school district is not required to process an application with Pitkin County. Our comments are of an informative nature rather than a regulatory requirement. Planning staff provides the following comments: ZONE: The site is presently zoned AF-2 PUD; Agricultural and Forestry District. Staff has requested that the school district rezone to Public Zone District (PIIB). The school district meets the definition, intent and criteria for a Public Zone District. PROPERTY: To the north of the ASDC is the vacant Moore property zoned AF-2 PUD, east is the Meadowood Subdivision zoned R-30, south is residential development zoned AF-2 and moo--thy west across Maroon Creek road is the City ~o~"The school district., property presently consists of approximately 27 acres. ~, __.___- ~/ ---- __ EXISTING CONDITIONS: V/ The existing campus consists of a high school, middle school and auxiliary buildings (CMC, Auto Shop, Bus Barn etc.) there are two access roads from Maroon Creek Road that connect and provide a loop road around the campus. SITE PI~AN~ DESIGN DEVELOPMENT: The ASDC is planning to accommodate 500 students from grades kindergarten through fourth grade within a new 100,000 sq. ft. elementary school building. The new elementary school building will also have a auditorium that seats 550 persons. The ASDC will also redevelop the parking for the campus and redesign the loop road so that it does not connect (see site plan). INTERNAL TRAFFIC IMPACT: Staff hasd always been concerned about disconnecting the existing internal loop. This does not just confuse someone visiting the campus, but may hinder public access such as police or fire protection. Staff would recommend that the internal road have some type of breakaway barrier be provided or no barrier so that access is available from the parent drop- off to the bus drop-off. TRAITS: Planning staff is in the process of drafting an updated Trails Plan. We will work with the ASDC on the trails plan. The plan provided for this review seems fine except for some minor recommendations. Where the trail crosses Maroon Creek Road the road should be marked and signage noting the crossing should be placed along Maroon Creek Road. If outside lighting for pedestrian and security uses will be part of the proposed addition. It is recommended that the applicant follow the adopted Exterior Lighting Amendments to the Pitkin County Land Use Code. A copy of this resolution (#84-61) is obtainable through this office. PARKING: No parking plan was provided showing how they came up with the number of parking space for associated facilities. The information provided states that parking spaces will be provided by separate areas for each facility associated. The site plan provided shows only 19 parking spaces for the new 100,000 sq. ft. elementary building. This may not be sufficient number of parking spaces. It is unclear if parking for the high school will be used for the middle school and elementary school. How did they come up with their number of parking spaces and does the amount of parking spaces address the new auditorium that seats 550 persons? It is recommended that the parking plan be reviewed for total parking sufficiency. Planning staff request to review there parking plan. Total parking shown on the site plan is 289.

Traffic impact from this new development onto Maroon ^ti Creek Road and Highway 82 has always been one of staffs main E~ concerns. The information provided does not sufficiently ~~ addresse the traffic impact. Staff recommends that a traffis~ impact study be done by a certified engineer. This is needed o determine if turning lanes are needed off of Maroon Creek Road and if the intersections and roadways of Maroon Creek Road, Castle Creek Road, and Highway 82 to ASDC will need improvements. The County staff needs to review this engineer report to 2 ~/(~~~,Li; determine the additional impact to the intersections and roads Iw~ ~~ and what co$$ts.to the public if anyp to meet thi new demand. ~ ~a}~„C.k~ -z~uS~LUa~~ r~Z~ -1b y( wig<_c-`f ~.cQtt,~ryYtrv-e~(firatCi~lc*y,~.f?,.~g~SYl~ccz„--~.

BOX PF nSPFN, GO LUFiA DO D 1 b9 2 303-925-3383 ~ti w ++~ The current planning effort for [he now-consolidated School District Campus seeks to take advantage of the concentration of the facilities for all grade levels at the same location through "' the sharing of staff, facilities and operation where possible, and any economies facilitated by the ~ improved proximity. ,. The District also seeks to mitigate any future educational compromises faced by concentrating all of the educational facilities on the already well-used campus. Planning of the redevelopment 'r of the overall site includes further increasing the efficiency of space utilization of outdoor areas. ~ The planning also addresses the future needs of an expanding School District population. Strategies are being developed far accomodating both new structures and most particularly the future outdoor space needs. ~ It is with this final issue that the School District desires to work most closely with the local _ government planning agencies. We wish to inform and assist the local planners in understanding the School District's future needs so that these needs might be considered in +~ planning decisions affecting the area. ~ Sincerely, CAUDILL GUSTAFSON ROSS & ASSOCIATES ARCHITECTS, P.C. .. ~C w Jcede berlein ~ Architect r r r r r r r 0 AUDILL GUSTAFSON ROSS 6 ASSOCIATES ARCHITECTS, P. C. C P. O. BOX FF ASPEN, COLORADO 69692 303-925-3383 ^ DESCRIPTION OF THE NEW ELEMENTARY SCHOOL FACILITY ,r The new Aspen Elementary School is planned to accomodate 500 students in grades Kindergarten through Fourth, as well as severe-needs and poosibly early-childhood programs. The 100,000 SF ~+ building will be located on the School District-owned property at the 27-aae Maroon Creek Campus. The campus currently accomodates the Aspen Middle School and High School, Administrative and Transportation support facilities, and the School Districtowned academic ~, building that is leased to Colorado Mountain College. Location of all of the School District's educational facilities on one campus provides opportunities for shared facilities and staff, as well as improved physical plant support and maintenance/operations economies. The Elementary School building includes 25 general classrooms arranged in clusters of 5 each, with appropriate academic support spaces in each cluster. The classroom clusters radiate from a centrally-located Library/instructional materials center and the facility's general Administrative area. An open central circulation core provides for access to all of the classroom and academic areas as well as lobby space for special events. This open, naturally day-lighted area is an attractive and inviting entry for students and visitors. The new building is located on a sloping area of the campus adjacent to the southwest wrner of - the Middle School. The building is stepped to follow the terrain contours with the main entry east, at the middle level facility, toward the school bus and parent drop-ofl' and parking areas. The lower ...a level provides for gym-level access to the north playfleld, service area at the kitchen and stage level, and the enclosed link connection between the middle level of the Middle School and the lower level at the Elementary School. The upper level, at the west end of the building, accomodates two of the classroom clusters, the upper Library classroom and the Auditorium balcony. -- A system of ramps provide for an internal circulation system that expedites the flow of large numbers of small children and the movement of handicapped throughout the building. The multi- ~^ level design reduces the building footprint on an already-limited site but, by stepping with the terrain, maintains aone- and two-story profile relative to adjacent grades. PROGRAM ELEMENTS AUDITORIUM, designed to accomodate all grade levels District-wide with a single centrally- `" located facility. It will serve Kindergarten through 12th grade needs with seating for 550 persons. _. By incorporating the shared facility into the Elementary School Building, the District will realize a savings of infrastructure costs, improved wntruction logistics and economies. This location will -= also facilitate access to the youngest of the school system's children. -' CAFETERIA, centrally-located, with kitchen and serving facilities. The pfeteria and kitchen is x planned to serve both Elementary and Middle School students. P.E. FACILITIES include a gymnasium which can be divided into two teaching stations and an auxiliary small-scale P.E. teaching station, Adaptive P.E. room and appropriate storage and support space. The gymnasium is planned to accomodate all current and foreseen Elementary School needs and, in addition, will accomodate after-school High School athletic practices, thus reducing late- ' evening practices for High School students. FINE ARTS AREA will be located next to the Auditorium in an enclosed connecting link between the Middle School and Elementary School. Music facilities will serve grades K through 12, Art facilities for grades K through 8, Crafts areas will be for grades 5 through 8. ,~. SPECIAL EDUCATION PROGRAMS are accomodated in 8 academic support areas located within the clusters and in the Administrative area. CENTRAL RECEIVING AND MAINTENANCE is located in the new building and will also serve both Elementary and Middle School facilities. PLAYFIELDS occur adjacent to the Elementary School, located to the north and south of the building.

The following represents an analysis of the traffic impact on the intersection of State Highway 82 and ~^ Maroon Creek Road and in town. r TRAFFIC GENERATION: ,, School traffic and its relation to overall traffic congestion is principally related to activity at the intersection of Highway 82 and Maroon Creek Road. It is more of an issue in the morning when "! School Commuting coincides with the general commuting times. '" It should be noted that the principal change in the traffic impact at the intersection of HIghway 82 „ and Maroon Creek Road will be a significant reduction in the bus traffic through that intersection. The change in the location of the school will result in changes in the pattern of personal automobile traffic. However, it does not appear that this will cause either a significant increase or decrease in the automobile traffic through the intersection. r _ TRAFFIC PATTERNS: The normal cycle for a School Bus at the present time is as follows: Each day it begins at the Bus ~. Barn on the Maroon Creek Campus, and passes through Maroon Creek intersection a first time as it goes either up valley or down valley to pick up students. Returning loaded, it passes through Maroon Creek intersection a second time, and goes to the Main Campus to unload Middle School and High School students. Now carrying only Elementary School students, the bus passes through the Maroon Creek Road intersection a third time, then proceeds downtown to the current R Elementary School Campus and unloads. The empty School Buses then return through the Maroon Creek intersection a fourth time to park at the Bus Barn. Each afternoon the route is done in reverse. The bus begins at the Bus Barn, goes to the '~ Elementary, then to the Main Campus, then to unload Students at home, and back to the Bus Barn. ,„, Again this results in four trips through Maroon Creek Intersection. EFFECT'S OF THE CHANGE IN LOCATION OF THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL: Consolidating the Educational Facilities to a single location will reduce the number of Bus trips `"" through the intersection by about half since the extra loop through town will be eliminated. There will be a total reduction of 24 extra one-way bus trips daily through the intersection of Maroon Creek Road and Highway 82. Even the bus that carries children from Aspen and the areas east of the town of Aspen will be able to eliminate half of its trips through the intersection. One school bus is estimated by the Colorado Highway Department as being the equivalent of 8-10 cars because of its slower acceleration and longer turning radius. The reduction of 24 bus trips through the Maroon Creek intersection is the equivalent of a reduction of 192 -240 extra cats turning there daily. The slowest and potentially most dangerous type of turn is a left turn across traffic. Locating the new Elementary School at the Maroon Creek Campus eliminates half of the left turns made off of Highway 82 at this intersection. Almost a third of the students live west of Shale Bluffs, and only 15% live within 1/2 mile of the ,~, old school location. However, it should be noted that this reduction in bus traffic at the Maroon Creek Road intersection has nothing to do with where the students live. The relatively low density of the student population within the district means that all buses carrying students to the Elementary School take students to the Main Campus as well. The relocation of the school will have no effect on how long it takes to pick up students at their home and any disruption that this has on commuters. However, in addition to reducing the number of turns at the Maroon Creek intersection, there will be a significant reduction in the amount of time Buses spend in the most congested areas during the peak commuting traffic time in [he morning. INTERMITTENT BUS TRAFFIC: There is only one type of bus traffic that will be increased by the relocation of the Elementary School to the Consolidated School Campus. These are bus trips related to educational activities outside of the school which would have otherwise been within walking distance. ~' Based on the average number of trips per year to specific locations, the average classroom would require an additional 4.7 trips by bus which had been previously reached by walking. Given the "" very low number of additional bus trips required for field trips and considering that these are ,, generally not done during peak traffic periods it has been determined that these trips have a statistically insignificant effect on traffic. IMPACT OF THE BUS TRAFFIC IN TOWN: The intersections of Main Street and Aspen Street, and Main Street and Garmisch Street are not at the same critical point as the intersection at Maroon Creek. Still it should be noted that they will experience the same benefit of reduced bus traffic as that at Maroon Creek. The elimination of twelve extra bus trips per day into town can thus be seen as being a reduction of the equivalent of 96 - 120 car trips through town. Moving the Elementary School to a consolidated campus outside of town will also allow the elimination of the twice daily 20 mph speed limit on Main Street. AUTOMOBILE TRAFFIC: The change in the impact of automobile traffic on the intersection of Maroon Creek Road and °' Highway 82 is somewhat harder to quantify because the relocation of the school is likely to stimulate some changes in habit as relates to considerations of convenience. Still it is estimated - that there will be a reduction or no significant change in the traffic impact on the intersection. Automobile Traftic Impact on the intersection of Maroon Creek Road due to students arriving at the new Elementary School by car from areas downvalley (other than Mclain Flats and Starwood) is viewed as negligible. The traffic impact on Main Street by this group will be reduced by the "eni relocation of the school. Drivers arriving from west of the campus will make a right turn off of Highway 82, drop off sue. students at the School Campus and most will make another right turn at the intersection to continue into town. The intersection of Maroon Creek Road and Highway 82 has both a deceleration lane and an acceleration lane for right turns on and off of Maroon Creek road, so that drivers following this route should have no significant impact on the intersection. -. The Impact of these same automobiles on traffic on Main Street will be reduced. These drivers will no longer have to make a left turn off of, and then back onto, Main street as they did to reach the "" old school site. Automobile traffic required to use the Maroon Creek intersection, which did not previously, includes Elementary School teachers and students driven to school from east of the intersection. Data is not available for the number of in-town or east-of-town studenu who arrive by car. .- Currently, many parents from town and east of town probably give their children a ride to school ~. - on their way to work, as school starts about the same time most people start work Driving to the °' Maroon Creek Campus and then back to town would result in a greater inconvenience for the parent and it can be assumed that many more would then choose to have their students take the school bus instead. TEACHER AND STAFF TRAFFIC: - At the present time 54% of the faculty, staff and aides live west of the Maroon Creek Road intersection. With trends in the location of employee housing in the valley, it is assumed that a ~` greater proportion will live west in the future. The previous loption of the Elementary Schools - required them to drive through the intersection. The new location will allow these drivers to move out of the traffic at the intersection and into the deceleration lane. This right turn is seen to ++ slightly reduce the pressure on the intersection and on traffic into town. Based on current numbers, 20 Elementary School staff per day will be approaching [he Maroon ;~ Creek intersection to reach the School from the east. Comparing this with bus traffic, the impact is roughly equal to two one-way bus trips through the intersection. It should be noted that the 20 automobile trips that will be generated by these people will be staggered over a longer period of time and therefore have a much less significant effect than the equal traffic generated by buses. CONCLUSIONS: The most significant effect on the traffic will be a reduction of bus traffic through the Maroon -. Creek intersection. The bus traffic will be reduced by almost half. There will be reductions in impact to the intersection in traffic generated by both employees and students of the School who -°- arrive from the west, which is a majority in both cases. There will be an increase in automobile traffic due to Elementary School staff and students approaching from east of the intersection. This ""' is believed to be largely offset by the previously-mentioned reduction. In conclusion it is estimated that the school-generated traffic impact to the intersection of Maroon Creek Road and Highway 82 will be reduced by at least a third over what it presently is. «~ xarr ~~~\\`. \ \ GPI ~ i ; 1 10 ,r 1~ - D O ~ ©-. ~-..r !i' r i~ i ,~ ,, ~ ~ 1 `.

SCALE= 1 ~ 20,000 -~ AREA MAP N ... VISUAL IMPACT OF TIIE NEW ELEMENTARY SCHOOL FACILITY ON THE HIGHWAY 82 CORRIDOR The visual impact of the new school on views from Highway 82 is seen to be minimal. The new building will be nearly 3/4 of a mile straight south of the highway from the point where it is visible. The length of the highway where the building will even be visible is only about 0.3 mile, and during the majority of that distance it is mostly obscured by buildings and major vegetation in the foreground. Only two points were found where one could get even close to an unobstructed view of the building. It is the conclusion of this study that the new building will have essentially no visual impact from the point of view of the passing motorist or pedestrian from Highway 82 Please see the following diagrams and illustrations. r •e ~ I 1 i i I w..

Trails are '~ considered to be an important feature of the campus. The integration of any current or proposed r trail into the concept of the campus is considered desireable. ~' We are aware of the paved trail that follows High School Road, crosses the campus and continues ~ on to the City recreation facilities. The intention of the plan is to incorporate this [rail into the development of the central campus area. It is also hoped that the crossing of Maroon Creek Road ... can be improved, especially since this route is also used for students crossing to the recreation facilities on the other side. The planning department has indicated that they will provide information about any other trails or proposed trails that connect to the campus if there are any. The incorporation of any of these ~, pedestrian and bicycle circulation routes into the campus plan would be consistent with the District's objectives.

Placing a new major educational building on the existing Maroon Creek Campus has required a '~ redesign of the site in order to accomodate the additional outdoor space requirements and circulation associated with the new facility. Outdoor space that was being used before has been dislocated by the new school and has to be relocated on the existing campus. Another desire of ~^ the School District has been to provide safe access to the schools whether persons arrive by bus t~ or by automobile. ENTRANCE An important consideration in the modification of the existing campus has been how the schools are to be entered, and their relationship to each other. The layout of the Middle School dictates that entrance to the building be made from the east or possibly south. The High School could be entered from either the southeast or the northwest. It was felt that the new Elementary School should be entered away from the existing Maroon Creek Road out of concern for the safety of the young students. GOALS One of the goals of the site redevelopment has been to aeate a plan that ties the buildings together with a logical exterior circulation. This will be achieved by orientating the three schools around a central campus area to the East of the new Elementary School, and between the existing .~, Middle School and High School Pedestrian movement will be facilitated with direct access from gyms to playfields and convenient access from bus and parent drop-off areas and parking to each of the buildings. SERVICE Relocated to the North of the Elementary School so as to accomodate a central receiving/storage/dumpster/maintenance area that can service both Middle and Elementary Schools - in a location with close proximity to the central kitchen and auditorium stage. The service drive is planned so as not to conflict with pedestrian movement on the Site. ,, VEHICULAR CIRCULATION Vehicular circulation has been designed with safety as the first priority. An important requirement for the School District has been to separate the automobile and bus dropofl's. The road that presently passes through the campus will be replaced by two entry loops. This will result in the "" elimination of School Bus and High School traffic from the route that is used by cars to drop off Elementary and Middle School Students. --• The North loop, entered from the northeast corner of the Campus will provide automobile access to the Elementary and Middle Schools. It will be for both parent drop-off and access to the °' parking for these facilities. y. The South loop will provide access to the High School and a new central School Bus dropr-off for .. the Campus. High School traffic will be completely separated from the areas used by Elementary School students in order to keep the more inexperienced drivers from the youngest students. The "" access to this loop will be relocated slightly to the south of its present location. This will improve site lines at the intersection while freeing up land for play areas. ,. PARKING Parking will be provided by separate areas for each facility associated with their respective student drop-offs. W .. FUTURE PLANNING r ,. The planning of the site development on the campus is also taking into account the future growth needs of the facilities. The expansion needs of the school buildings has been considered. Future planning anticipates the possible removal of the Administration/Shop Building (north of ^' the High School) and relocation of the CMC operation off campus. The High School functions in these buildings could be accomodated in an addition to the north side of the High School gym at such time as the buildings are removed. Other possible High School expansion needs, including _ a cafeteria or gymnasium, might be accomodated to the west of the existing gym or possibly to the southeast of the present entry. An additional academic classroom wing could be accomodated to "' the south of the current academic area. Future Middle School expansion can take place to the north of the building, or by shifting the 5th grade into an expanded elementary school. Elementary School needs could be accomodated by a second floor addition to the one-story Southeast classroom cluster. The structure in this area has -- been scaled up to accomodate the future addition. " Changing curriculum, educational philosphies and techniques in the future suggest a compact and efficient campus to serve Early Childhood through high school and beyond. Opportunities for shared facilities, programs and stall will improve ewnomic operation, safety and quality education for the residents of the Aspen School District. The currently-anticipated future facility requirements can be accomodated on the existing campus. However, the campus remains limited in terms of its ability to aceomodate the outdoor playfields ' . in this growing School District. It is therefore hoped that the future planning of the wunty consider the School District's potential need for additional outdoor teaeation areas. -- The relocation of Maroon Creek Road further to the west has been discussed in numerous forums over a period of years. It appears that this change could be done in a way that enhances the needs and objectives of all affected parties, including the schools, the county, and the adjacent landowners. _,„ It is the School District's hope that this relocation could be given further consideration and action. «~ .. r. w ea «. r ayl r .w 11~ rw w ,i i ;.~ ~~ ~_ _~ti~ I' \ I ~ ~ I , ,~~~ SCALE 1" 200' CAMPUS MASTEPLAN PRESENT & NEW BLDGS. POSSIBLE EXPANSION POSSIBLE REMOVAL MEMORANDIIM TO: Board of County Commissioners FROM: Francis Rrizmanich, Planning Office RE: Aspen High School GMP Exemption DATE: February 24, 1986 REQDEST: The Aspen School District is requesting an exemption from growth management to construct a six (6) classroom (6,000 s.f.) addition to the Aspen High School and to remodel existing facilities. APPLICANT: Aspen School District RE-1 LOCATION: Maroon Creek Road EXISTING ZONING: AF-2 PARCEL SIZE: 20 acres WATER: City of Aspen SEWER: Aspen Consolidated Sanitation District ACCESS: Driveway onto Maroon Creek Road PROJECT DESCRIPi'ION: The 1986 Aspen High School Classroom Addition and Remodel is a response to changes in curriculum and a commitment by the School to improve school facilities and learning environment. It is important to note that this project is not a response to an increase in either student or faculty population, nor is a future increase in user population anticipated as a result of this project. The addition will house six new classrooms and a teacher workroom. The remodel will eliminate three classrooms and a teacher workroom and create a computer classroom and lab and a third science lab required by curriculum changes. The resulting three additional classrooms are required to bring all classes into the main building reducing incon- venience and travel time to auxiliary buildings where classes are currently held. Therefore this project is essential for the continua- tion of quality public education in the Aspen School District. MAJOR ISSDES AND CONCERNS: i. Referral Agency Comments a. Aspen Water Department - In letters dated December 6 and December 16, 1983, Jim Markalunas has commented that the school will be allowed to connect to the existing water facilities because there is no increase in students or employees caused by this proposal. The Water Department is concerned that there is a singular six (6) inch cast iron main which supplies the High School facilities. The Water Department recommends that the School District give serious consideration to providing an alternate interconnect or looping to insure reliability of service prior to under- taking any extensive enlargements or improvements to the existing facilities (see Water Department letters in the attached application). b. Aspen Consolidated Sanitation District - In a letter dated December 4, 1985, Heiko Ruhn indicated that the Sanitation District has sufficient capacity to serve this project (see Sanitation District letter in the attached application). c. County Planning Engineer - In a memo dated January 28, 1986, Tom Newland has provided the following comments: County Road System - The project will not increase traffic or parking requirements. Roadway and parking improvements are not necessary to serve this project. Visual Impacts - The addition will blend in well with the existing building and eliminate the need for the "portable classrooms" currently scattered about the campus grounds; therefore this proposal will reduce existing negative visual impacts. The proposed landscaping will also help to further reduce visual impacts. Exterior Lighting - The applicant has not mentioned whether exterior lighting will be provided. The applicant should comply with the adopted Exterior Lighting Amendments to the County Land Use Code (see attached memo). d. Housing Authority - In a memo dated January 6, 1986, Anne Bowman has indicated that based on review of the application and subsequent clarification (see attached letter from James W. Burks, Aspen School District Superintendent), no employee housing will be required because no addition employees will be generated by this project (see attached memo). II. STAFF COMMENDS: Section 5-510.2(f) of the Pit kin County Land Use Code provides for exemptions from GMP for all construction of essential governmental and community facilities other than housing. To be eligible for this exemption, the applicant must demonstrate that the project represents an essential governmental or community facility. The Planning staff has concluded that the Aspen High School is clearly an essential community facility, since it provides fundamental public services upon which the community is dependent for support and it serves primarily the local community. The applicant is also required to show that the following impacts will be mitigated: a. The generation of additional employees; b. Parking; c. Road and transit services; d. Basic services including water, sewer, drainage, fire and police protection; e. Negligible impacts on the community's air, water, land and energy resources; and f. Visually compatible with surrounding areas. The applicant has submitted letters indicating that this project is intended to increase the quality of education provided by the School District, but not to add to its overall student or teacher capacity. The addition will house six (6) new classrooms and a teacher work room. The remodel will eliminate three classrooms and a teacher work room and create a computer classroom and lab and a third science lab required by curriculum changes. The resulting three additional classrooms will be used to bring all classes into the main building to reduce inconvenience and travel time to auxili- ary buildings where classes are currently held. No new employees will be generated by this project. In fact, 2 High School enrollment projections foresee a declining student enrollment for at least the next five years. This project's effect on transportation and other basic services is also negligible. Decreasing enrollments will tend to reduce transportation impacts from present levels, therefore, parking lot expansion and access improvements are not required for this project. Because the proposed addition will be a part of the main building, all basic services are present on-site. The Aspen Water Department has indicated that the addition can be served by the existing water line. However, the Water Department does recommend that the water main serving the school should be upgraded to provide better reliability of the water system. The applicant should seriously consider the future upgrading of the water main serving the school. A visual review of the project site shows that this proposal should have minimal visual impacts on surrounding areas. The main residential area in the project vicinity is located on the east side of the school. The addition is proposed for the west side of the building and will be largely invisible to neighboring residential areas. The addition will not be visible from State Highway 82 and is outside of the Scenic Foreground Overlay zone. The visual impact of the addition will be further reduced through proposed landscaping. Architecture that matches the main building will be used so that the addition will appear and function as an integral part of the main building. The applicant should commit to maintaining the current lighting style that is used on the main building to ensure conformance with County Lighting Standards. SOMMARY AND RECOMMENDATION: This project represents a qualitative upgrade to an essential community facility (Aspen High School). No additional impacts will be generated by this project. Therefore, the Planning staff and the Planning Commission recommend approval of this project to the Board of County Commissioners, subject to the following conditions: 1. The applicant will agree with the Aspen water Department to determine whether the water main serving the school should be upgraded now or in the future. 2. The applicant will commit to maintaining the current lighting style used on the main building and to conform to the adopted Pit kin County Exterior Illumination Standards. 3. The applicant will adhere to all representations made in the written application and site plan.

THRU: Reid Haughey, C my Manager ~ /.t.4_ % FROM: Amy Margeru Planning Director ~, . RE: Aspen School District DATE: December 19, 1989 ISSUE: Over the past several weeks staff has been meeting with Caudill Gustafson Ross & Assoc. (architect) and members of the School Board (ie. Peter Guy) regarding the development of a new elementary school at the Maroon Creek Campus. The existing campus consists of a high school, middle school and auxiliary building on approximately 27 acre zoned AF-2. The School District is proposing a new 100,000 square foot elementary school on this site. The School Board has indicated that they hope to start this project in the spring of 1990. To maintain this time line, the School District told staff they will not submit application to Pitkin County Planning Department for a land use review. It is their understanding that the School District is exempted from compliance with local land use requirements (see attached). The County Attorney, in a brief phone conversation, said that the School District is only required to submit information to Planning and Zoning Commission for comments and a public hearing may be requested by the Commission. The School District desire is to avoid unnecessary delay in the planning and approval of the proposed elementary building. Peter Guy stated that the School District will submit their plans for review comments from the Planning Department and Planning and Zoning Commission, but will not submit application. The School District submitted application back in 1986 for classroom additions and remodeling (Reso. 86-18). Staff encourages the BOCC to encourage the School District to do the following: o Rezone the 27 acre Aspen School District Campus from AF-2 to PUB; f- o Submit a Master Plan for the School District Campus and participate in overall planning for the Castle Creek area; o Submit application and/or hold a public hearing for the development of the elementary school. Staff is not only concerned about the school, but also about general development considerations in the Maroon/Castle Creek area. Current projects in the area include the Aspen Valley Hospital, PMH housing (AVH, Meadowridge, Moore, Marolt), Highlands hotel, Castle Creek Valley Ranch, City Pool, Pfister, etc. If the BOCC is interested in formally asking the School District to follow the recommendation of staff, the Planning Office will prepare a memorandum for the BOCC's review and signature.

Sucl l TO: Tom Smith Dated: 2/13/89 FROM: Tim Whitsitt RE: School District Exemption from Compliance with Land Use Code While it is not apparent at first glance, and not cited by the District's attorneys, it does appear that the District has the power to construct employee housing. This power is specifically set out in C.R.S. 1973, Sec.22-32-110(d), which grants the power to "construct, purchase, or remodel teacheraaes _ for the employees or any classification thereof, of the district." Despite the clarity of this power, it is not nearly so clear that this construction was intended to be outside the regulation of local government through the land use code. The provision cited for this exemption by the District is See. 22-32-124(1), however, the exemption cited therein is specifically directed to "the location of public schools" and the erection of "...necessary buildings and structures.+' There are several bases upon which this language properly should be limited to "school buildings and structures." First, by applying the rule of ei~sdem generis, any general listing or categorization set out in statutory provisions is typically limited to the specific listing previously set out. Thus one is directed to interpret "buildings and structures" in this statute, not in their widest and most generic sense, but in the limited sense established by the prior phrase "location of public schools." This interpretation tracks with the language of Section 22-32- 110(b), which is the basic provision empowering the purchase, determination of the location of, and construction of "school sites, buildings or structures." It seems logical to conclude that the language of 124(1} was intended to apply strictly to the powers granted under 110(b). It does not include the language of 110(d) regarding teacherages, leading to the conclusion that the exemption of Section 124 was not directed to housing construction by a School District, but only school sites or school buildings. This conclusion is further supported by a review of other powers granted by School Districts under Section 110, for those grants are explicitly made subject to local land use control. This is the case under Section 110(f) where the District's rental or lease of lands which it owns, but for which it has no current use, is made subject to such regulation. Thus it may not be maintained that the legislature intended that Districts enjoy any sweeping or all-inclusive exemption from land use regulation. February 15, 1989 Kenneth A. Delay, Esq. Miller & Delay 50 South Steele Street Suite 1050 Denver, Colorado 80209-2815 RE: Aspen School District Dear Mr. Delay: I am in receipt of your letter dated February 3, 1989, regarding school district exemption from compliance with local land use requirements. While my initial review leads me to disagree with the opinion expressed in your letter, it is not my purpose here to belabor the legal arguments on either side of this issue. I have discussed the matter with Jon Seigle and he expressed to me the view that his concerns in regard to compliance with County land use regulations are based upon a desire to avoid unnecessary delays in the planning and approval of the proposed employee housing. The Pitkin County Commissioners, are in agreement that cooperation between the two entities in order to insure the timely construction of employee housing by the school district is the proper course of action to pursue. The Planning Office and the County recognizes the school district's urgency in this matter and have agreed to expedite the processing of a land use application so as to assure a timely review and approval of the project. Under these circumstances I trust we can defer the issue raised by your letter until another time. I hope to arrange a meeting Kenneth A. Delay, Esq. February 15, 1989 Page 2 between Jon and the Board of County Commissioners to discuss this and other matters next week. Please call me if you have questions.

The purpose of this narrative is to establish that the 1986 Aspen High School Classroom Addition and Remodel is an essential public facility and therefore is exempt from the Growth Management Plan. It is also the purpose of this narrative to provide evidence of the suitability of this project based on the Pitkin Land Use Code. The 1986 Aspen High School Classroom Addition and Remodel is a response to changes in curriculum and a committment by the School Board to improve school facilities and learning environment. It is important to note that this project is NOT a response to an increase in either student or faculty poulation, nor is a future increase in user population anticipated as a result of this project. The addition will house six new classrooms and a teacher workroom_ The remodel will eliminate three classrooms and a teacher workroom and create a computer classroom and lab and a third science lab required by curriculum changes. The resulting three additional classrooms are required to bring all classes into the main building reducing inconvenience and travel time to auxilary buildings where classes are currently held. Therefore this project is essential for the continuation of quality public education in the Aspen School District. _ The 1986 Aspen High School Classroom Addition and Remodel is the result of qualitative rather than quantitative changes. Public services required by the project will be very minimal increases to services already provided at the High School. Further, the project is designed to mitigate visual and environmental impact. The addition and remodel project will generate virtually no increased demand on public services including water, sewer, storm drainage, fire protection, roads and transit systems as outlined below_ The existing water supply and sewer system will be extended to serve the addition. The school district is addressing required tap fees with the appropriate agencies. The city water district and sanitation district have provided assurance that water supply and pressure and sewer capacity are adequate for this project. (See letters attached) The water department notes that a second supply is recommended but that it is an existing condition which is not substantially aggrevated by this project. There are effectively no increases in demand for sewer and water service because the user population will not increase and the new science lab will ease scheduling problems with the curriculum already in effect from Sept. 1985. [~n~ e-le 1 GUSTAFSON ANO ASSOOATES AR04TECT5 PG P. O. BOX FF ASPEN COLORADO B'16t2 303-92.r33B3 ~. The effect of the project on surface and subsurface drainage will be minimal. The addition will increase the open space ratio of the site by less than one half of one percent and there will be virtually no additional paved areas. Regrading required by the addition will not exceed 1:6 slope and will maintain existing storm drainage patterns_ Roof drains for the addition will connect to a drywell on site. The addition will improve the fire safety of the existing classroom "pod" by creating a new second exit way. The new fire alarm system will tie into the existing fire protection system. The response time of the fire department to the high school will not change, nor will their access to the site and building be detrimentally affected. The water department has indicated water pressure is adequate for fire protection. The addition and remodel will not alter the existing road system layout. There will be no increase in traffic because the user population will remain at its present level. Bus transportation for students provided by the school district will not change nor will the location of bus drop off and pick up points be reloc- ated. Public transit systems ca ill not be affected by this proj- ect in either route, scheduling or ridership. Pedestrian walkways will be maintained and only altered in the immediate vacinity of the addition where they will be rerouted and linked to existing walks. The 7986 Aspen High School Classroom Addition and Remodel is `designed to mitigate visual and environmental impact. The addi- tion is planned to appear and function as an integral part of the existing building. The materials and form of the existing high school will be repeated in the addition, and the height of the addition will be less than fourteen feet, further reducing visual impact. The character of the site will be preserved, existing planting and contours will be maintained to the greatest extent possible and new planting will occur in the area of the addition. ~, New sidewalks will link parking areas to the building and exis- ting trail system. Parking demand will not be increased and therefore no revisions to the existing parking and circulation system are planned. The school district hopes to improve the aesthetic appearance of the service area by paving the gravel drive at a later date, not as a part of this project. The project will have minimal impact on the natural environment. This 6000 sq. ft. project creates virtually no increase in paved area and no increase in traffic which mitigates impact on air and I water quality. The existing boiler has sufficient capacity to I serve the addition with minimal increased energy comsumption. There will be no noxious burning and the addition will be energy efficient with low heat transfer through the wall and roof con- struction. USTAFSQN ANO ASSOCIATES P.FCI-Yl"ECTS PG P.

As described in the opening paragraphs of this narrative the 1986 Aspen High School Addition and Remodel is not a response to an increase in student or faculty population and will not generate increased user population. The Aspen School District does not anticipate increasing the number of faculty or support staff at the high school because of this project and therefore no employee housing is planned. We believe that the 19II6 Aspen High School Classroom Addition and Remodel is an essential public building qualifying for an exem- ption to the Growth Management Plan and that it meets all of the the minimum requirements of the Pit;cin County Land Use Plan. ~; (,`~ k~ 4 i 1 GIJSTAFSON ANO ASSOCIATES MaO-YTE(:TS P~ P.

Should this line fail for any reason, the school will be without water. Years ago, the school had these facilities installed at the time of the original construction of the existing buildings.

It is our understanding after discussing this with you, there will not be an overall increase in students, but rather an increase in work space. Therefore, we recommend that the school be allowed to connect to the existing facilities, since these facilities were installed many years ago prior to enactment of the present regulations and standards. However, it is still our recommendation that the school district give serious consideration in its future planning to an alternate interconnect, in order to insure reliability of service. .. im Markalunas, Director seen Water Department JM:ab cc: Planning Dept.

The purpose of this narrative is to establish that the 1986 Aspen High School Classroom Addition and Remodel is an essential public facility and therefore is exempt from the Growth Management Plan. It is also the purpose of this narrative to provide evidence of W the suitability of this project based on the Pitkin Land Use Code. The 1986 Aspen High School Classroom Addition and Remodel is a response to changes in curriculum and a committment by the School "" Board to improve school facilities and learning environment. It ,~ is important to note that this project is NOT a response to an increase in either student or faculty poulation, nor is a -- future increase in user population anticipated as a result of this project. The addition will house six new classrooms and a teacher workroom. The remodel will eliminate three classrooms and a +~ teacher workroom and create a computer classroom and lab and a third science lab required by curriculum changes. The resulting "' three additional classrooms are required to bring all classes ,~, into the main building reducing inconvenience and travel time to auxilary buildings where classes are currently held. Therefore ~- this project is essential for the continuation of quality public education in the Aspen School District. .. The 1986 Aspen High School Classroom Addition and Remodel is the result of qualitative rather than quantitative changes. +W Public services required by the project will be very minimal increases to services already provided at the High School. Further, the project is designed to mitigate visual and ,,,, environmental impact. -, The addition and remodel project will generate virtually no increased demand on public services including water, sewer, storm "` drainage, fire protection, roads and transit systems as outlined below. ++ The existing water supply and sewer system will be extended to serve the addition. The school district is addressing required °- tap fees with the appropriate agencies. The city water district and sanitation district have provided assurance that water supply and pressure and sewer capacity are adequate for this project. w (See letters attached) The water department notes that a second supply is recommended but that it is an existing condition which is not substantially aggrevated by this project. There are effectively no increases in demand for sewer and water service because the user population will not increase and the new science lab will ease scheduling problems with the curriculum already in effect from Sept. 1985. ~.. ~11UDILL GUSTAFSON AND ASSOCIATES ARCHITECTS P.C. P. O. BOX FF ASPEN COLORADO B'16~2 303-9283383 ~r The effect of the project on surface and subsurface drainage will be minimal. The addition will increase the open space ratio r of the site by less than one half of one percent and there will be virtually no additional paved areas. Regrading required by the addition will not exceed 1:6 slope and will maintain existing ~" storm drainage patterns. Roof drains for the addition will connect to a drywell on site. ,~, The addition will improve the fire safety of the existing classroom "pod" by creating a new second exit way. The new fire alarm system will tie into the existing fire protection system. The response time of the fire department to the high school will `r not change, nor will their access to the site and building be detrimentally affected. The water department has indicated water pressure is adequate for fire protection. .. The addition and remodel will not alter the existing road system layout. There will be no increase in traffic because the user ,„ population will remain at its present level. Bus transportation for students provided by the school district will not change nor will the location of bus drop off and pick up points be reloc- ated. Public transit systems will not be affected by this proj- "` ect in either route, scheduling or ridership. Pedestrian walkways ,_ will be maintained and only altered in the immediate vacinity of the addition where they will be rerouted and linked to existing ~. walks. "' The 1986 Aspen High School Classroom Addition and Remodel is ,K„ designed to mitigate visual and environmental impact. The addi- tion is planned to appear and function as an integral part of the -- existing building. The materials and form of the existing high school will be repeated in the addition, and the height of the addition will be less than fourteen feet, further reducing ,_ visual impact. The character of the site will be preserved, existing planting and contours will be maintained to the greatest extent possible and new planting will occur in the area of the addition. r New sidewalks will link parking areas to the building and exis- ting trail system. Parking demand will not be increased and _. therefore no revisions to the existing parking and circulation system are planned. The school district hopes to improve the aesthetic appearance of the service area by paving the gravel _ drive at a later date, not as a part of this project. .r The project will have minimal impact on the natural environment. This 6000 sq. ft. project creates virtually no increase in paved °~ area and no increase in traffic which mitigates impact on air and .. water quality. The existing boiler has sufficient capacity to serve the addition with minimal increased energy comsumption. There will be no noxious burning and the addition will be energy efficient with low heat transfer through the wall and roof con- "' struction. ~. ^AUDILL GUSTAFSON AND ASSOCIATES ARCHfTECTS P.G P O. BOX FF ASPEN COLORADO09612 3D:3-92S33B3 ~- As described in the opening paragraphs of this narrative the 1986 Aspen High School Addition and Remodel is not a response to an increase in student or faculty population and will not generate increased user population. The Aspen School District does not '~ anticipate increasing the number of faculty or support staff at Y. the high school because of this project and therefore no employee housing is planned.

It is our understanding after discussing this with you, there will not be an overall increase in students, but rather an increase in work space. Therefore, we recommend that the school be allowed to connect to the existing facilities, since these facilities were installed many years ago prior to enactment of the present regulations and standards. However, it is still our recommendation that the school district give serious consideration in its future planning to an alternate interconnect, in order to insure reliability of service. im Markalunas, Director spen Water Department JM:ab cc: Planning Dept.

As we discussed, it is our understanding that the School District will give serious consideration to incorporating into its capital improvement plan, an alternate supply line for the High School campus, adequate in size to provide the needed fire flows and reliability of service. It is also our understanding that the School District will obtain preliminary cost estimates for the various alternatives discussed. In view of these assurances received from the School District, we believe the School District has met the conditions set forth by the Pitkin County Planning and Zoning Commission, pertinent to Water Department concerns.

The extension of a minimum 8" diameter water main, in accordance with City of Aspen Standards, from the existing 12" water main at the intersection of Castle Creek Road and Maroon Creek Road, along Maroon Creek Road to the School Campus and interconnect to the existing water mains within the campus. The exact sizing of the water main, ie, above 8" in size will be determined by the results of the Aspen Fire Department recommended fire flows. The extension of a minimum 8" diameter water main (with pressure reducing valve) from the 8" water main to be installed, by the Highlands Inn project, on Glen Eagle Drive. The extension would be northwesterly along the west side of Maroon Creek Road to a point where the water main can be extended between the Middle School and the High School to connect to the existing 6" water main on the east side of the School. sui rr un 4388 SOUTH 1VINDERMER[ ST.

At the present time, the Highlands Reservoir has only a single feed. The City of Aspen has recommended that the Highlands Resort Development install a second feed to Highlands Reservoir from the Meadowood Pump Station. Although the School District is not being requested to participate in the cost of construction of the second feed to the reservoir, the School District is requested to obtain or• assist in obtaining an additional easement adjacent to the Maroon Creek Flume right-of-way for the installation of this second feed. We do believe that the cost of method 1 above will exceed the cost of method c above because of the greater length involved under method 1. If further information is required, please advise.

Cassens, President RHC/mbf c/c Mr. Jay Hammond Mr. Paul Taddune TO: Francis Krizmanich, Planning Office FROM: Tom Newland, Planning Engineer RE: Aspen High School GMP Exemption DATE: January 28, 1986 I have reviewed the applicant's proposal and wish to forward the following comments to you: Effects on County Road System: The high school campus has direct access to Maroon Creek Road (County Road #13). I agree with the applicant's statement that traffic and parking statistics will not be changed by the proposal. Therefore, there is no reason to require any roadway or parking improvements to the existing enterances and exists to the high school property at Maroon Creek Road. Visual Impacts: It appears that the proposed addition to the high school will lessen the visual impacts of the school campus as it presently exists. The addition will blend in well with the existing building and eliminate the need for "portable classrooms" scattered about the campus grounds. The proposed landscaping and plantings will help to buffer the new addition, further reducing it's visual impacts. Exterior Lighting: The applicant fails to mention if outside lighting for pedestrian and security uses will be part of the proposed addition. If so, it is recommended that the applicant follow the newly adopted Exterior Lighting Amandments to the Pitkin County Land Use Code.
