��Public The Board convened a public hearing to consider the budget for the Mountain Valley
,P�:�;Hearing:
`•"�'Mtn. Improvement District. Tom Oken, Finance Director, .ioted that the expenditure or
�",w�Valley
v�Improve- $17,533 for debt service is met solely by property taxes. This year's mill levy of

�'District 9.37 is a reduction from last year's rate. There was no public comment. �`

-?�Mining Mark Fuller, Environmental Consultant, appeared before the Board to present an update
''�'i Claim
:'�^'Report on mining claim activity in the County. Ae showed the group slides of the areas which
:d .
�;� have been staked, including tincoln Creek, Grizzley Reservoir, Taber Gulch, Ruby, etc.
����� •
� The claima are beittg filed by large corparations such as Amoco and U.S. Energy Corp.
��!n,' 9 _
T6e assay results from samples collected by Fuller have been inconclusive and he felt
��.�
�� the claims are being staked in hopes of finding mineable material. The area which con-
:��
'-� tains iron ore would be impossible to revegetate if mined because the altitude is so
;�,.
4�i:
��, high and the growing season is so short. Fuller also noted that many claims are on
;��«.
�;� both sides of the County line so would be accessible from outside Pitkin County. Child
?" asked how many oP the claims staked are included in the RARE II study area. Fuller
�
said almost all of the 600 claims covering 10,000 acres are in RARE II, however the
� wilderness act has almost no constraints on mining activity. He added that claims have �
", been staked in the_Pearl Pass and Conundrum areas and he suspec'ts there may be molybdenum •
�K.
� there. Few of these claims have had tfieir annual assessment work filed so some have �
��
�A �
lapsed, however a number of new claims in different areas have been filed. He felt
- r� this is probably speculative, but noted that mining activity is inczeasing. The assay �; '
results for County samples showed indications of silver, gold, magnatite and a small
amount of molybdenum. Child asked if the County could stake claims of their own. '+` ,
� - .
Fuller said they could, but noted that any mining activities within the County borders �
are required to obtain County approval and must comply with County regulations. Edwards �
� .
noted that the County has no authority to deny;�mining as a special use, but can only �v`"
E'��
regulate its activity. Stuller suggested that the County could make mining activfty ��
��
�
prohibited in all zones rather than allowing it by speciaS review. Smith said that would t�'. •

make the existing mines non-conforming. Edwards directed the County staff to look ,"'i:'.
at the speclal review caCegory and broaden the County's authority for denial of new ��;
�:;P;+
mining activity on the grounds that it is incompatible with other economic uses in �:y°
':��.
the zone category and with the recreational economic base of Pitkin County. k"�'�`
i��
Fuller mentioned the Elk Mountain Workshop in Aspen which is keeping track of mining �;;y:
�,+''s:::
t:�
activities on a statewide level. He has cons3dered holding a planning workshop on `
(C`41,
mining and the recreational economy with the Colorado Geological Survey to inform ¢;��;
��
people of potential problems and work out possible solutions. Fuller reported that :��
r
Senator Hart's bill for revision of federal mining laws died in commi.ttee but he
expects the proposal to come back. Edwards directed Fuller to keep abreast of the
• ,�.
status of that legislation and lobby for it.
Information Stuller presented a lease with Snowmass Aesort Associat3on and the Chamber of
Booth
Lease Commerce for the information booth. She noted tfiat the TR zone for that property �
�
was extended for one year at the last meeting, and this lease is the same as the form �
used this su�er. Child moved approval. Edwards seconded and the motion passed �`-
unanimously.
--------- �
Senior Stuller presented a resolution allowing for a property tax rebate for seninr citi- �'
Citizen �'
Property zens, which is the same process used in the past two years. Child asked if this would �
� Tax ��,
Rebate overlap with HB 1112 which provides for deferment of property taxes for the elderly. (;,,
��
Stuller said it would not; the individual could choose either method. Child moved
approvaZ of the resolution. Edwards seconded and the motion passed unanimously. [�'

Aspen Stuller atated that Aspen Airways has requested that the Cvunty extend their autho- Y�
Airways ��
Night rization for night flights for a miniwum of five years before they will install the �`x*
Flight �
; Authority necessary improvements. She noted the Board does not have the right to contract �
r`
away their legislative prerogatives and any commitment to do so would be invalid. r3;
���
Kinsley requested that the Board assure Aspen Airways that they have no intention of �;�;,�.
�:�=
repealing night flight authority after November 7, 1979, which is the immunity �'%
€�:
period currently affecting night flights due to the Home Rale Charter. Stuller F �_
i<::,
presented a resolution of intent stating the Board's present intention with respect � '
,`.�
to night flight authority, which she felt could not be construed as an obligation ` �`
C t;
enforceable against the County, Child said he would prefer to give Aspen Airways i,;

proposed resolution would not do much in any case. Stuller said she felt a resolution �:?::'
�„r
�:^;::
like this could be misinterpreted and would add nothing to what the Soard has already ��u,.
�s�:
said and done; she wnuld prefer not to have the resolution adopted. Edwards and �;�,
�:r
Child agreed.

��
SRA Bus Curt Stewart, Transportation Planner, presented an agreement with Snowmass Resort �
' Service
: Agreement Association for winter bus servfce to Sn�r�nass Village. The agreement provides that
the County will zun the service in the evenings, SRA will be responsible for the
6lcket aelling, and the recording and. payment procedure. Child cotrmiented that the 15p
fare for children seems too low. Stewart said that is an error; the fare should tae
25C. He added that one other correction is necessary in paragraph five where a Iine
was left out. Child moved approval of the contract with those two corrections.
Edwards seconded and the motion passed unanimously.
Wage & The Board again considered the reclassification and waga and salary survey for 1979
Salary
Survey which has been reviewed by the Personnel Review Board and the department heads. Oken
noYed that the salazy rates indicated in the plan include a 4Y cost of living in-
crease for 1979. An additionaZ ZX wi1Z be retained to fund merit increases throughout
the year. Child moved approval of the resolution adopting the classificatton and wage
and salary survey. Edwards aeconded and the motion passed unanimously.
Budget The Board.scheduled a work session on the budget for Friday, December 1, at 9:00 a.m.
Work Session
ERA Edwards moved to extend the expiration date of the County's boycott of states which
Boycott F�;
' Extended have not ratified the Equal Rights Amendment to June 30, 1982, since Congress recently
extended the deadline #or ratification to that time. Child seconded and the motion �'
passed unanimously.
� Solid The Board considered a resolution raising users fees at the solid waste center.
Waste
Center Brian Stafford noted that these fees take into consideration the fact that costs at
; Fees
�..
the dump have increased 111% and the rates have not changed since 1974. Edwards �
asked about septic waste fees since he felt that operation had been eliminated. Pat ��
�x.;
1;�
Dobie, County Engineer, replied that the only aeptic waste deposited at the dump is t.�r
�.; from the Forest Service. He felt the Forest Service should soon be able to handle �,
� this themselvea; if not, the £ees will have to be raised. Child asked if use of ;'`�'

C%!:
Stafford said the dum is no lon er seL u for that since the rec clin t`'
P 8 P Y g program has r.:�,
t�:�;
been discontinued. Child felt these materials could be stockpiled separately so t'�f+
f�y .
�i'�
they could eventually be recycled. Dobie said the situation would get unruly with h�
��
stockpiling, but added that the County ia considering turning the recycling program �;�
t,�
�over to the Hoy Scouts. $dwards felt it would be worthwhile to stockpile the alumi-
- num, and not charge users who have separated aluminum. Dobie asked if Chat would be
i
only for residential users. Edwarda said that the no-charge rate would apply on2y
to single tamily cara or small pickups, not co�ercial users. Dobie noted that
Carbondale is planning to open a new solid waste site so the pressure on our facility
should decrease; in the past both Carbondale and Baeal,t residents have used the
Pitkin County dump since their solid waste centers are full. Stafford said that
people receiving resident rates will have to have "ZG" platea or written proof of
� � residency. A permit will be issued for local construction-related work. He added
that the proposed feea are comparable to the charge in Denver County. Edwards felt
the out-of-county users should have to pay a high rate, siace local residents pay
taxes to support the solid waste center and also pay users fees. Child felt there
is already a good distinction between resident and non-resident users. He added that
' these rates should be reviewed annually from now on. Stafford notec! that the gazbage
�
• truck rates are controlled by the PUC and he recommended that these rates not affect
garbage trucks until April lst to aZlow them adequate warning. Child moved approval
i of the resolution adopting the new fee schedule for the so13d waste center. Edwards
�
? seconded and the motion passed unanimously.
° i
�;
! Warrants Child moved to approve the warrants for October. Edwards seconded and the motion �*�-'
�
passed unanimously. Edwards felt there should be a system to cross-check the warrante :�-
�{.�_
to safeguard against a vendor double billing Che County. The Board used to check i�`=`
� " �S
; {
� each warrant individually, but there are now too many issued to check each one. Oken �
! noted that there are controls in the finance office, however it may be good to have E ::
r:
an additional control outaide the finance office. Stafford agreed to set up such a �';i
. i � . ' `s_is.i;.
system. --

---------- ',�
Public The Baard convened a public hearing to consider adoption of a resolution establiahing '
Hearing: �;'
No-Smoking penalty provisions for violators of the no smoking ordinance. Stuller aoted that ,�s�,
the ataLe law controlling smoking contains no enforcement technique. Edwards asked ��
a�,�';
why restaurants and bars are not included in the smoking ordinance. Stulle= said the �
��.
atate statute makes it voluntary for them to provide non-smoking areas, but 3f they do F';.
�;
not do.so the premises must be posted to that effect. Child asked if the hallways in
the courthouse would be posted or iE smoking would be a2Zowed theze. Stuller said that �C
�.
would be up to tfie Board. Ellen Anderson, of the Clean Air Advisory Board, said they
�
Pelt the lobby area of the courthouse would be a reasonable place to allow smoking, �:
�..
but it is the Board's decision if they wish to designate a smoking area. Edwards felt �'>
the size and language of the sign to be posted in restaurants without no-smoking areas fi�
��
k..
should be specified. Stuller agreed to include that in the resolution. Child asked E
� what an appropriate effective date would he for implementation of this resolution. • �
��:
Edwards suggested December 15th. Child preferred .7anuary lst. Bill Rollins suggested
the effective date be December lst. There vas no further public comment. ;�.
Edwards moved approval o£ the non-smoking resolution with an amendment concerning �'
specifications for the posting signs and with an effective date of January 1, 1979. 'g�

Child seconded and the motion passed unanimouaZy. �

other advertising is allowed at the terminal; he agreed to speak to Ai.rport Manager ��
�:,.
Doug McCoy about the matter. Edwards eaid he feels that McCoy often ignores the �"�
directions oP the Board and requested that Ochs pu[ an end to the situatlon. He in- '.�'

Public The Board convened a public hearing to consider an application by Mary Webster for
Hearing: . '`
Webster separation of substandard contiguous lots 43, 44 and 45 in Starwood Five subdivision. �
Lot �f.
Split Richard Grice, of the Planning Office, noted that an access easement to-lot R-45 �.
��
through R-54 is shown on the plat. The Y S Z, in their review, felt thia lot split gg:
��
would not have a substantial effect on the neighborhood since the lots are suriounded. �>�
j��
by already-developed substandard lots. Bob Nelson has reviewed Che site and feels £�
there are no ��
problems with installation of a aeptic system. Utilities are already ��
installed and there are no physical limitations on the lots. Grice noted there is �
h�.
another access a2ternative for lot 45 through lots 43 and 44, however this would be �� -
on a 13Z grade and would exit at the apex of a curve on Starwood drive, so is not �.
��
desireable. The applicant has not aubmitted any information on the degree of economic bu'�C
t�:
loss if this lot split were not approved. The P 5 Z reco�ended a ���
pproval of the lot ��
s
split with the condition that access for lot R-45 be through R-54 with access for the �`;':
�d„+,
other two lots off Starwood Drive. 6rice noted that the prospective purchaser of lot �'�
��.
R-44 obtained a variance from the Board of Adjuatment to build within five feet of ��.
P",
the property 21ne due to physical limitations on the lot. The County Engineer has not F``"

The Board convened a public hearfttg to cons3der a request by Sport Obermeyer for (:�::
i�;7`-
a variance from the parking requirements contained in the Land Use Code for their . y.
�»
warehouse under construction at the Airport Busineae Center. The B-2 zone district ���`
��:
requires one parking space per dwelLing unit or one space per 400 square feet of �
[L{,�'�,
co�ercial space, however a recent Land Use Code amendment ellows this requirement ;�#
to be established by special review in certain casea. The applicant is requesting
a total requirement of 43 spaces, based on the peak number of employees on the pre-
�:
mises at any one time and the fact that many of their emp2oyees do not drive to
work. The P & Z recommended requiring only 33 spaces with the balance of the area
landscaped and available for construction of more spaces if parking appears inade-
quate. Child agreed with the recomnendation: adding that by iacreasing the number �
of apaces employees are encouraged to drive. Edwards moved approval of 33 spaces
by special review for the Obermeyer warehouse facility. Child seconded and the
mocion passed unanimously.
A luncheon meeting was held with the U.S. Forest Service. Forest Service members

t4aroon Curt Stewart, Transportation Planner, presented a report on the Maroon Bella bus ��
Bells Bus
Report system. He aoted that the concept of reducing fares to increase ridership in 1978 ;�:
z
proved successful. Ridership was ap 80X over 1977, with 26,428 people riding the "�
�
��
buses. The budgeted amount was exceeded by $8,000 with fare-box revenue up 13% for �
a total of $22,385 in revenues. Stewart said this budget overrun was due to the �
G';�
cwr
cost of the marketing program dane for the Highlands Skq Ride and the T-Lazy Seven ��'
�:x
Ranch, increased mainCenance costs, and a higher salary for the supervisor. He �'„
�.;�
felt the proRram is carzy3ng people mote efficiently but 1s not generating as much �F
�:*:
revenue. T[tis summer, due to better organization and hiring of a full time super- s
�;y
F;f .
visor, there Were no more complaints on the unprofessionalism o£ the system. Stewart:;i;
F�;�
t�_
nated that 15% of the budget was spent on advertising and marketing; even though i;�
�`i'v
this marketing program is expensive, he recommended that it be conCinued next year. _`��
�'`�
He also reccmmended that the free-fare policy for guests ot the T-Lazy Seven or
. .. i'�'"-'� .
ridera of the Skyride be continued, while the regular fares be increased to $1.25
�:;
��.
for a two-way ticket, $4.00 for a family and 6Dq for a one-waq ticket. This would -
���i?
result in an increase in revenue of Z8%. Edwards suggested children 12 years and ,�';
i`ti
ander cou2d be aZ2owed to ride free when accompanied by adulta. Stewart thanked ;�i

i�
He presented the Board with two alternate budgets for the system in 1979: one is ��'
��' '
for 52 days, and the other for a longer period of time. Child said he would prefer �*�
;�-
going with a loager system if the Forest Service can contribute more funding; the 'z
��
County cannot afford to inctease their contribution. Edwards agreed that, given �
�
budget constraints, the Coumty cannot afford to fund the system for a longer period ;[:-��
of time unless some other revenue source is found. Stewart suggested that a method �
be included in the operating agreement to allow the syste�s to run for a longer par- �
iod'if the revenues are higher than what is pzojected. He noted that T-Lazy Seven �
was much more p2eased with the bus syetem this year'and their only complaint was -
excessive speed of the buses through the ranch area. He augges[ed that this be regu-
lated by periodic checks by Che Sheriff's Department next year. Bell felt the
system worked well in 1978, but requested that the entire program be set up by
February lst for next year. Ae thanked the County for their help on the program.
Burnt Karen Smith reported that the County has received an application for ski expaneicn
Mountain
Ski Area at Surnt Mountain which is being referred to the parties of the 3oint review agree-
ment. At this point, a timeframe for.review must be developed, but Smith felt it
_ would not be possible to meet the January 2nd deadline in the reaolution. We11s
stated that the application is for expansion to a total capacity of 6600 skiers;
this was reduced from the Ski Corporation's original estimate of 11,000 skiers
because they wanted to reduce the number of skiera per acre in order to inerease com-
fort. The Ski Corporation feels the decision for a 6600 skier capacity mountain is
irreversible because of the lift layout. Edwards asked if the capacity of the exiat- '^:
ing mountain at Snowmass pZus Burnt Mountain would be comparable to the ultimate `�
i�.
buildout for Snowmass Village contained in the getteral submission resolution. Wells j`�'�'
R�
replied the capacity of both mountains would be 16,600 skiers per day; the original �,�
?t
suggested population of Snowmass was 17,000 however Wells felt that estimate is too
�=�;«
�:
low. He noted the new town needs to assure that the units planned for permanent �'
t$,'
residential use in the general submission don't become tourist units; if they do }�
r.t<
_ become Courist units there will be a substantial effect on the needed ski capacity. �v

Little Tom Bell said the Forest Service needs documentation indicating the County's posi-
Annie �
tion on the Little Annie issue now that the in3tiative has been approved by the �t
electarate. A written statement must be received by the Regiona7. Forester before
the Forest Service can go on saith their review and do the environmental impact
statement. Stuller asked if the Farest Service has given conceptual approval to the
application. Bell said they have not, but have indicated they are willing to go
ahead with the study. Stuller asked if the Forest Servtce will not go to the next
step in the joint review process unless the County directs them to. Bell replied
the Regional Forester will not give permission to proceed with the environmental
impact staCement unless the County is s�illing to participate. Edwards asked what
County participation in the site specific review would involve. Be12 sa3d the
County would review and ro�ment on site speclfic matters relative to the County. He
repeated that the Forest Service did not give conceptual approval to the Little Annie
application; they just do not see anything at thia point to lead them to believe
the proposal is not feasible. Child noted that the initiative states the County
must have the consent of the other agencies in the joint review to go on to the site
specific stage; he felt a co�itment from the Forest Service and State vould be �
t
:� necessary. Bell said the Foresc Service will not give any approval until the EIS
" i is approved; they are still reserving the right to disapprove the application.

Fi
e*.:
states the Forest Service can appoint an ad hoc citizens co�mnittee to participate in t`'

the EIS issues. Sell said the Forest Service first muat determine what the LittZe �"5
��
�Annie initiative means and receive a certifiLd copy of the election results. They
will then draw up an environmental assessment repor[ to detezmine if an EIS ia �
necessary; Bell was sure an EIS would be needed. Harry Truscott noted that decid3ng
what has to be studied is a big ,job; the Wilderness Workshop has drawn up a list o£
suggested items to be atudied and made reco�endations for membership on the ad hoc �
citizens' cownittee. He added that after the necessary data is defined an impact
analysis process begins; he felt that impact analysis process ahould also be in-
cluded in the site specific agzeement. Smith stated.that when the P � Z reviewed the
Little Annie application they felt more information is needed on the demand for new �k:`
ski areas and suggested that the John Gilmore study of 1974 be updated. Child felt
that would be appropriste but asked who would pay for the study, Edwards asked if any
fees for retaining consultants to analyze the data provided by the developer would
' be available. Stuller said the joint review manual doesn't address that point, but
anticipates that only in-kind services will be contributed by governmen[al agencies.
Edwards felt there should be some independent review of the data submitted by the
�
developer, and there should be a mechanism in the agreement to provide funds for
the County to hire an independent agency for this review. He directed Stuller to
� meet with the staff to develop a proposed site specific agreement including a pra-

is required to refer the application to the County. Edwards felt the application

must obtain County approval and comply with County regulations, and that could be
overriden by preemption only. He said an application for special review shouZd'be
filed. In that review, the County would look at conflict with cross-country skiing,
the effect of helicopter skiing on the back country experience, and compatibility
with low intensity, less motorized uses.
Edwards asked about the br3dge on the East Maroon trail. Be1l said the Foreat
Service has funds to repair it this summer.

� Edwards stated there wae an agreement in 1972 to revege[ate the site and, although
1,
^h,A it appears that wasn't specifically dellneated, it means at least grass should be
� planted on all disturbed areas. He felt the County ahould require Benedict to
�:
;� revegetate the disturbed areas and directed the staff to draft a letter to be signed
�+`',' by the Chairman stating the minimum revegetation apecifications, to be,formuiated �
�
� by Larry Dunn, including the delineation of necessary slope angles so vegetat3on can

i�.

� accomplished. Edwards added that a copy o€ the letter ahould be sent to Hemann.
� Any reapplication for use of the pit would be up to Benedict; this revegetation
� requirement comes from the 1972 permit for which revegetation was not completed.
� Edwards felt Boyle approved the revegetation plan �ust becau.>e Benedlct has spent
�
more than the $3000 held in escrow, but that figure is not a maximum amaunt to be

restrict3ons on the employee units was adequate. Stuller noted that those restric-
�_
tions are not clarified until detailed submission, hut agreed they should be clarified
to reduce confusion with PMH units or low and moderate income units. Edwards re-
quested a language amendment to state the units crill be deed zestricted and sold

� a portion of the grant money. Ochs replied they would not be getting any part of
� the grant money, but would be hired by the municipalities. Child pointed out that

� and count that toward the required $22,000 total. Ochs said they agreed to get

This could result in loss of the terminal. As a result, McClang has had to take ;`�

and felt the department may only need a supervisor, since most of the responsibility "r'
�
for the center falls into the lap of the Police Department. The caffinunications �
director was recently fired and the supervisor became director, however McClung is �
concerned with the eupervision of the center since he is liable for it. He would �
like to retain the Communications Centes Board for direction and put the dispatch
; office in the Police Department for administrative reasons. Edwards commented that
' �
� thts is the second time the Council and Co�issioners have considered this problem.
` fle felt the conclusion was that it would be a good idea to try to centralize certain
F
i functions. and that a joint communications center would operate more efficiently
' s
!�
� and serve the community better, He noted that the Communications Board hasn't
y� discussed this and he did not feel they have tried to work out a solution. Edwards
�
� concluded that it would not be in the best interests of the community to terminate
:� the coamiunications contract. Mahoney said he d3scussed this problem with Ochs last
� week and he doesn`t want to see the center break down, but feels a better linkage
is needed between the oommunications center and the Police Chief. McClung said he
t
;: oniy wants administrative control for the center in the Police Department; he doesn't
want to disband the cenCer. He stressed that the computer terminal is a necessity
�
and the center cannot operate without it. McClung added that Boulder has a City-
County co�unications center and that works because it is managed and operated with
personnel from one department. Ae felt the mafor mistake is to try to make the
center independent from the Sheriff's Office and Police Department; McClung felt
y the center should be under some s3ngle responsibility. Edwards suggested the
Communications Center Soard meet with the new director to discuss the possibility
of restructuring. He said it seems the situation ia that Che Police Chief doesn't
get along with the Sheriff and peCty riva�,ries aze creating this problem. Edwards
�
noted that 1f the problem is one between departments it won'[ be solved if the juris-
dictinn for the center is gi.ven to one department. Stock commented that the Commun-
ications Center Board cannot solve the problem; the problem is in the structure,
not in the Board itself. Ochs agreed with Edwards that pclitical matters are tnter- r
fering with the Board, and he felt the same problem would exist if responsibility
for the ceater is given to one person. Standley directed the Board to review the �
S*
rnacter and return; if they can't come to a decision the City Council and Coa�issioa- �
ers will have to do so. Edwards suggested that monthly meetings between the Police
Department and Sheriff's Office may settle the matter.

Abacus Ranch (Frank) subdivision. Child felt the phasing clause should state that
the free-mar&et and PMEi units wfll be developed at the same ratio. Wells noted �
z that the applicant stated they could not build the PMH units if the free-market uaits
' are not sold first. Child felt the PMH units would have to be built along with the
-'4
` r: free-market un3.ts. Wells brought up the qvestion of preserving the open space so
�' a ricultural o erations can continue. Child asked if there is a
g B p prohYbition against
" further development on the Ranch. Wells said that would apply only to the ZIO acres
�
;� in the subdivision. Edwards suggested that language similar to that included in
:�:
'� the Altimira subdivision resolution should be included for the restricted unita in
;{S this subd3vision. Wells asked if the Board would require an additional deed restric-
�
a: tion on one of the existing 3Q acre units to meet Che housing requirement. Edwards

A continuation of the November 27, 1978 meeting was convened on Wednesday, November �;

29, 1978. Chairman Robert W. Child and Joseph E. Edwards Jr. were present. �
' ---------- y
�
North The Board again discussed financing for purchase of the North Star Ranch. Child �
Star �
Ranch asked why no payment is being made in 19�8. Finance Director Tom Oken exp2ained
Financing �
that by deferrireg the payment until 1979 the County can use 1978 payment-in-lieu-of- �
a
. - taxes (PILT} £unds for the next year rather than having to rely on the PILT appro- �
priation in October for that year's payment. With this one year time Zag a reserve
fund can be created for the following year. Stuller explained that the final closing
for the North Star is to take place on December 8th at which time the County will
exercise all five optiotts they hold on the property. In response to a question
�
raised at the last meeting, Stuller e}cplained that the reason The Nature Conservancy
is shown as the payee on the ttote and the mortgagee on the Deed of Trust is because �
E.F. Hutton will underwrite the purchase, but they can only finance property, uot
acquire it. E.F. Hutton will commit to immediately buy back the note and Deed of
i Trust from TNC. Tom Oken, Finance Director, distzibuted a memo explaining the costs
incurred in the transaction. He has requested that Shorty Lankford submi.t documen-
tation oE the bid amounts received from the underwriting companies, and information
�
on what interest rate other municipal debts are paying. Ochs asked if it would be �
• possible to en[er into a one ar two year agreement with E.F. Hutton with renegotia- �
t3on in case the municipal rate drops. Oken said it would be possible to refund �
those bonds and include them as part of a larger bond issuance. There will be no �
prepayment penalty for this. Edwards asked if there is a fixed obligation for the �
' County to buy the property from TNC. Jon Mulford, representing TNC, said the County �
3
has entered into a series of annual options which they can exercise or not; if they
,.;�
are not exercised, that part of the property is given back to Jim Smith. StuZler �
��
added that the County must exercise at 2east one option per year, and can do more if ��
�
desired. Edwards ttoted this would commit all of the Gounty's PILT funds for the k�
next five years. fte asked if TNC woald be wf.l2ing io cover the County for one year ,.
�
if PILT funds were not received if the E.F. Hutton agreement were aot approved. �
i,(_
MuZford said TNC caould do everything they couZd to hold the deal toget6ex. Edwards
said he would prefer doing a deal with TNC. Mulford pointed out that TNC has no '°
f;
i:
ob�ection to the E.F. Hutton approach, s3nce it includes a lower municipal rate; he ;'.
, noted that wfth the TNC approach the County is gambling on the prime rate. Oken s'
ix
sa3d that if the County goes with TNC they must make a $337,000 payment now; he �

;� felt short term financing would be necessary to cover that payment. Edwards asked �
� :�4
� if it would be possible to spread the interest so the payment in the last year is r�
� higher and this year`s payment is Iover. MulEord said TNC would have to renegotiate �Y
�� � "
e with Smith for that. Stuller noted that when the County entered into the option � �',�
� agreement with TNC this £all they felt they could make that payment, but now it �
� appears they cannot. Oken felt the most the County could afford to pay this year �
E.
� c�ould be $260,000; he pre:ers tha E.F. Hutton approach because no payment is due
� until 1979. Edwards asked if the TNC method would be cheaper if Smith agreed to �
a �
3
a 8'�Y, interest rate. Oken said it would not. Ochs pointed out that another disad-
vantage to the TNC approach is the large amount of outstanding prittcipal that the
fi
County will have to pay interest on next year. He fe7.t it would be more advantageous
t
` to take advantage of the low 3nterest rate offered by E.F. Hutton and renegotiate �
�� �� with them if the prime interest rate drops. Okett said it would not be possible to
� � .
renegotiate with Hutton. He added that it the Board accepts the fact that the �t
f �
^ County cannot afford to make a payment to TNC now, our only option is to accept
:� k
i the E.F. Hutton deal. Child noted that the County takes possession at the properiy �
immediately if the Hutton financing technique is used. Mulford said TNC would be �
� willing to give the County a management agreement if they finance through them. He �
�'
added that if the Board accepts the E.F. Hutton transaction, TNC could request that ry
�
the note holder give a thirty day notice of default to TNC so they could try to �
�
save the property. ChiZd asked if the County could apply for granta from the Bureau �5
k�
of Outdoor Recreation (BOR} �f theq go with fi.F. Hutton. Stuller said they coa2d ��
' �
not get grants in either case since the County wi,11 take tit2e to the property on ��
December 8th. Mulford reported that the BOR is not interested in the North Star C�;�
property because it isn't an active recteational use parcel. Edwards stated that if �;
F�..k
TNC carried the $50,000 downpayment fnto the later years in orde= to reduce this �£
year's payment their approach would be acceptable. He asked if they would be willing ��"
€;
to reduce their $47,OOQ Eee if the County accepts the Hutton pzoposal. Mulford r;;.
{:
said that fee has already been incurred. Edwards felt the BOR may be interested in ';'
' continuing their grants in future years since they have already made an investment "�
I:;:
in the Narth Star; 3f the County did an option agreement wi.th TNC they could still
apply for these grant monies. Mulford pointed out that Karen Smith daes not feel
. �i.
the County's chances of obtaining grant funds from the BOR are good, and she sug- `:.

someone else`s name. Stuller said Hutton would not do that. Edwards felt the ?�
$40,000 fee charged by TNC and the $40,000 fee in the E.F. Hutton proposal were too i;�
;
high. Ochs noted that the County agreed to that fee tor TNC because they could G;,
negotiate for a better rice fnr Smith's f'
p property. Mulford suggested using local '�.
}�
investors to cover the deal. Stuller fel[ the bond issuance could be done without ;�

hiring Shorty Lankford and the County could negotiate with underwriting firme directly. ;._
_ :�
Edwards asked if TNC would agree to defer their fee until the last payment. Mulford ��
said they would not agree to do so Zast summer because they felt Pitkin County had ':i
�;
adequate funds to cover the payment. Ochs noted that the County has received a
$75,000 grant from BOR for this year, but the funds won't be forthcoming until next
spring. Oken felt he could make the $337,OU0 payment to TNC if he could get short- ti
term financing for that $75,000; he still preferred the E.F. Hutton approach because �
�the County is not as dependent on PILT funds or the level of the prime interest rate.
Edwards moved to adopt the certified record of proceedings for the E.F. Hutton �
financing with the conditions that documentation be presented to verify that the �
E.F. Autton bid was competitfve and that Lankford did obtain other bids, that there �.
be a prepaymeat without penalty provision for both tha note and deed of trust, and �
that the minor changes requested by Mulford including the amended legal descriptions �
be included. Child seconded the motion and it passed unanimously. �

RE: !Jebster - Lot Separation - Lots 43, 44, and 45, Starwood Five Subdivision
DATE: October 19, 1978
This is a public hearing to consider an application from Mr. Jim Reeser on
behalf of Ms. Mary Webster which requests permission to separate the above
mentioned three lots in�:the previously subdivided Starwood Five Subdivision
for the purpose of single family development. This application is made
under the amended section 7.22 of the Pitkin County Land Use Code. The
amendment provides additional review criteria which should be considered
before granting special review approval. for your conven.ienc�'#he:se criteria
are as follows:
1. "The number of sub-standard lots developed in the area and the
effect of separate development upon the character of the neighbor-
hood and purposes of the zone category;
2. The extent to which the lots comply with existing subdivision regu-
lations;
3. Tne effect of separate development on available utilities, roads, and
other public facilities;
�. ".ny physical limitations of the lots;
5. 'fhe configuration of the lots as it affects their suitability for
separate development;
6. The degree of economic loss to the owner if separate development
permission is not granted (including a consideration of the value
of the lots if separately developed vis-a-vis their value if used
in connection with each other);
7. The history of acquistion (including a consideration of the purchase
and whether or not the lots were involuntarily acquired);
8. The historical use of the lot."
The following Planning Office comments relate to the review criteria listed
above.
1. The three subject lots are surrounded by the Starwood Subdivision
which consists almost entirely of sub-standard sized lots - most of
which have already been developed. Development of these three lots
would not have a substantial effect on the character of the neighbor-
hood.
Z. All utilities currently are available in the immediate area with the
excepti.on of sewage disposal systems. Bob Nelson has connected
priliminary on-site inspections of the lots and has determined that
sites do exist wh�ch are capable of complying with the County
regulations for septic tank installation.
3. There are no significant physical limitations on the lots. A site
inspection was conducted by myself specifically in order to deter-
mine if access existed to R-45 which would bear a logical relation-
ship to the topography. I discovered two possibilities for access
to R-45. One would be down a natural draw at approximately a 13�
grade. This drive-way would unfortunately connect with south
Starwood Drive at the appex of a hair-pin curve. The other possi-
bility for access would be through R-54 at a grade of approximately
7%. This latter access was reserved on the original plat, is still
available and is obviously preferable.

Memo to BOCC
� Webster - Lot Separation
October 9, 1978
Page Two
5. In the event approval is not granted, the degree of economic loss
to the owner would certainly be significant, however, we do not
have any specific information in this area.
6. The history of acquisition is that Mary Webster purchased all three
of these lots on August 15, 1974, under the assumption that they
were each separately developable. The applicant has not provided
this office with any specific information regarding the pur.poses
for the purchase.
Considering the substantial degree to which the lots satisfy current sub-
division regulations, the number of substandard lots already developed in
the area, and the lack of any physical limitations on the lots, the Planning
Office recommends approval of this Special Review request with the condition
that lot R-45 will be accessed through lot R-54 as indicated on the original
subdivision plat.
The Planning and Zoning Cormnission considered this application at their
regular meeting on October 18, 1978, at which time they recomnended your
approval of this Special Review request with the condition that access to
R-45 wi71 be through R-54 as indicated on the original subdivision plat.

RE: Obermeyer Parking - Special Review ;�,: ;,,,;;� �
DATE: October 19; 1978 ����'• i'0•' �
This is a public hearing to consider the :attached application from Sports
Obermeyer which requests permission to vary the minimum parking space
requirements for their warehouse facility which is currently under con-
struction at the Airport Business Center. The Land Use Code requires that
in section 3.02 that in the B-2 Zone District there wi71 be one parking
space per dwelling unit or one parking space per 400 square feet of non-
residentiaT space; "provided, however, that the required parking spaces
for warehouse purposes shall be determined by special review, taking into
consideration pedestrian access, private and public mass transporation,
and the need for cormnercial vehicles."
Copeland, Hagman & Yaw, architects for Sports Obermeyer Warehouse facility
in the Airport Business Center, have prepared an evaluation of the projected
parking needs for the facility. Their evaluation is attached. Their evalu-
ation concures with the Land Use Code in that one parking space is needed
for 400 square feet of office space. They suggested a total of 24 spaces
' be provided for this portion of the project. For the apartment unit of
; 1200 square feet, they suggest that one parking space will be adequate.
� For the warehouse portion of the project, they suggest one parkittg space
; per employee based on their peak number of their employees. This would add
� an additional fifteen parking spaces. ?lext, they suggest adding three
' additional guest parking spaces bringing total number of parking spaces
t up to 43.
� The P]anning Office feels that their evaluation is valid and correct, in
� that it indicates a maximum num6er of parking spaces that they would ever
need under the most intensive circumstances. Their evaTuation is based
on the assumption that all employees will bring one car with them when
in reality the applicant has explained that many of their employees choose
to ride their bikes, cross-country ski, waTk, or ride mass transit to work.
The Planning and Zoning Corrnnission considered this application at their
regular meeting on October 18, 1978. At which time they expressed a con-
, cern about the suggested number of 43 spaces still being too many spaces.
� Their preference was to see 33 parking spaces constructed initally with
the balance of the open space being landscaped and remaining avaitable
� for possible future expansion as needed.
