Edwards moved and Child seconded that the minutes Por March 14th be approved as amended. The motion passed unanimously. i I i ---------- �. April 4th The Clerk to the Board brought to the Commissioners' attention the statutory Meeting ; requirement to meet the first Monday in April. The Commissioners agreed to meet { on Monday, April 4th. � ---------- ' 1 Village The liquor license public hearing for the Village Delicatessen was convened. � Deli 1 Liquor Chuck Perrecone, of Rockford Limited, owners of the establishment, presented peti- i License � tions and spoke of the customer demand for a beer and wine license. Presently i the establishment has a 3.2 beer license. Bob Nelson, County Sanitarian, approved � � the facilities. There was no public comment. The hearing was closed. j { Edwards moved to approve the application on the basis of the desires of the i - inhabitants and needs of the neighborhood as reflected by the petitions, on the � ; basis of the report by the Sanitarian that the applicant is running an approved � establishment and due to the fact that there is only one other beer and wine : i estahlishment in the neighborhood. Ctiild seconded the motion and it passed unani- y 1 mously. ! --------- �{ Romeo's A public hearing was convened for Romeo's Tiehack restaurant at the base of ; • i Tiehack ' Liquor Buttermilk Mountain. This is an application for a three-way license. Romeo '- License ? Pelletier presented petitions to the Co�issioners and stated that many requests � 's have been made for a liquor license at his establishment. Nelson, the Sanitarian, approved of the establishment but requested that when a bar is installed plans ' and specifications be submitted to him. Pelletier agreed to do this. He testified that the Ski Corp. and neighboring residents also approved of the liquor license 3 3 application. There was no public co�ent. The hearing was closed. � Edwards moved to approve the application on the basis of needs and desires of the neighborhood as reflected in the petition.

Child seconded the motion and it passed unanimously. i ---------- i I ( Snowmass Tom Hlake, of the Snowmass Resort Association,and Shorty Lankford, financial Resort Assoc. consultant, made a presentatioa on the Snowmass Resort Association proposed con- Civic Center vention cen[er bond issue. B1ake noted that this is an informational meeting to � � update the Commissioners on planning matters in Snowmass Village. The Resort � � Association is considering construction of a multi-use civic center which would he � Z} more financially viable than a single use convention hall. There is presently an ; i unoccupied bed space of 2000 to 3000 in the summer months due to the lack of ? i meeting space. The Resort Association will fund this project. It is not expected !r that this convention center wouZd intertere with the pezforming arts activities I i in Aspen. Edwards noted that the Snowmass resolution specifies that the location � for a cottvention center would be the Sinclair-Mesa area. Blake felt that would � i be appropriate for a town hall, but would like the civic center to be centrally � located, such as in ope of the present parking areas. The number one parking lot, , f a portion of number seven or a build-out over the bus stop are being considered. � a The Resort Association realizes that the civic center would be operating on a � a deficit for the first few years; they hope to indebt only the co�tercial core so � that they do not experience homeowners' opposition. Lankford suggested some financing possibilities such as industrial revenue bonds, a metropolitan district, � a recreational district; he did not consider these the optimum solutions, and felt a county improvement district would be the best alternative on both management � > and political levels. The county improvement d3strict would be the easiest and cheapest option, but must be done under the auspices of the Board of County Commis- sioners. Edwaxds asked if the facility must be within the boundaries of the :i d3stt3ct; this may create a problem if the center is located in the Sinclair-Mesa. i i He felt the existing West Village area should not bear the total Uurden of financ- . ing when the civic center would benefit the entire area when it is built out. He ; suggested that the district include also East Village and Sinclair-Mesa. Lankford agreed that a broader base would be better financially. He stated that the peti- a tioning procedure strives to include a majority of tax-payers as well as registered � t electors but that the absentee-landlords would represent a mechanical petitioning � problem. Bill Kane, of the Planning Office, felt that the number one parking ; lot offers the best opportunity for such a center since Sinclair-Mesa is still i Cowaisaioners Meeting March 28, 1977 - 2 � � � { I �� . , - "':!a . __.._ i -- - �t 1 ." . ��„'g.t". .

He felt the civic center would generate more traffic to the Snowmass area than anything other than the ski lifts. �enerally, the Plan:eing ; Office is supportive of summer destination tourism. Edwards asked a6out the poten- I tial financial indebtedness capacity of the co�tunity and expressed concern about overtaxing the area. Lankford stated that it would not be necessary to fund the facility entirely through tax monies, and added that revenue bonds are a possibility. Child wondered if this would affect the incorporation movement in any way. Slake replier� that it probably would not. Lankford said that the special improvement i district would open the door for petitioners to be included as part of the area i i i for any other problem they may have. He pre£erred to concentrate on the central j r ; _ issue of the civic center now, allowing for the district to be modified at a later } � date. Edwards stated he has no opposition to the proposal and considered it worthwhile to explore the idea. Child felt that the center would fft in wel.Z with the recoummendations oE the Citizen`s Ad:•isory Board. o s CAB Wilton Jaffee, Sr. and Jim Adams, of the Citizen's Advisory Board, and George � Transportation I Recommen- Ochs, the County Manager, presented a resolution containing recourmendations derived ' dations from the UMTA transportation study. After completion of the resolution the CAB � discussed the issue of an election. TFtey concluded that they adequately represent :' � the community and feel tfian an election would be unnecessary. Discussion concerning ; � the necessity for an election followed. Jaffee testified that the issues involved '' ; C 3 � here are too complex for the public to vote on. Edwards felt that when the com- � � munity was discussing the light rail transit plan a co�nitment was made to the { i coffinunity that no decision would be made by the County without an election. Since � � this is not a proposal for a rail system, and due to the complexity of the issues � i.nvo.Lved, perhaps an election would not be necessary at this time. Ochs agreed -� � that the resolution is now in its simplest and most general terms and does not � think it can be further simplified for an election. Kane felt that there is much i I in the resolution that suggests that an election would be premature at this time, � i � t .� i.e., the cost of the transportation system is elusive now and preliminary engineer- � � ing must be completed. �.dama stated that concerned co�unity members have had � ample opportunities to follow the process of the Board and no oppositioa has been i e�cpressed. Child agreed that the plan should not be put to a vote until more � i accurate figures are available. Ochs said that they anticipate the report from � i � the consultants at the end of April or early May. In his opinion, there is no ! i � i Commissioners Meeting March 28, 1977 - 3 i ; .��'i�1 ",:',, ; � :.; `�'.�s+�=�: _ -� ,'" ...�_.�. � - . . .:��. . �...�� .�._ :,: � �. � .,.... � -�,...k..�r'�_��v^.w ��5,-�. � xrvx�3�:r� � va�:ara.o- �� s�� _s y g il Ck �. i�� basic incompatibility between the consultants' report and the recommendations of the CAB. Edwards suwnarized the recommendations autlined in the resolution for the Grassroots TV audience and commended the Board for their work, an example of grassroots democracy at its best. He made it clear that the decision of the Board was not influenced by the Commissioners, The resolution was signed by Jaffee as the Chairman, and Adams, the Vice-chairman, and by the Commissioners. ' Chi1d moved to adopt the resolution. Edwards seconded the motion and it passed unanimously. i i 1 City Jim Markalunas, of the City Water Department, and Jeff Davis, the County Engineer, Water Tank Aspen made a presentation on the proposed City water tank at Aspen Grove. Markalunas Grove explained that the City needs to upgrade its storage requirements to provide adequate fire protection for the City. This is a proposal to install a water tank on the Aspen Grove cemetery propertp. According to Markalunas, this property ii reverted to the County when the Aspen Grove Association became defunct in the 1930's. � i The tank will not affect the use of the cemetery because it is approximately 200` ` J below the cemetery site. The owners of the cemetery have given tentative site ! ; approval. The tank will not be visible, except possibly from the Aspen Alps in the winter. The City will attempt to camouflage the tank with natural paints, screentng by aspen trees and revegetation. Markalunas requested approval of the concept and a grant of easement for erection of the tank. No construction draw- i ings or bidding will be done until the easement is obtained. S�ndy Stuller, the ! County Attorney, noted the need to investigate the County's ownership of the � i property, the possibility that this easement may be granted for something that may � not be done, and that the Coumiissioners cannot make a determination as to the appropriatettess of the project at this time. Davis stated that the site looks : acceptable but requested that soil samples be taken. Fdwards stated he would be willing to grant the City a license to enter the property, make surveys and soil i i tests with the unspoken indication that the site would have no adverse impacts _ and would conform with the Land Use Code. Ha also noted his preference for a hal£- ' - buried tank to make it as unobtrusive as possible. He requested that Stuller look into the land title. Child felt that the Planning and Zoning Commission should have been consulted on this item, but agreed to grant the City the 23cense. Edwards ' moved to grant Stuller the authority to draft the license. Child seconded the motion and it passed unanimously. _ --------- ' ! i Commi.ssioners Meeting March 28, 1977 - 4 � ; °� `,j . . . . . .. . .. . . � . . . � . � .. � � . . . ..<:.."�!�!.�. � . . � ' ;:�...,-.. . �•� ._...:. ._.. �..._w', ,...._ -�.�.,�_,.,:.r,..«u:��sd�.�.�:h,1.,.y,...i�2�:i:n:...Ya...ai.;�`.,, ��"�i;:k,'�+.��:�':a�:Y1:iw,y.....}Ao.,�'"� !l�y.� 1 7�+��; . .__....... `„-.�4' .4 �,iy* j_. �;�h. ��:�:�°; �:,{:;; Hospital S.D. Muller presented the plan for refinancing the Hospital District bonds and District Sonds introduced Don Diones, a municipal bond firm member of Kirkland, Moote and Co. Refinancing Diones explained why the refinancing is appropriate at this time and how it would be done. 'This does not requite an election; only approval by the Hospital Board and the Board of Commissionesr. Bob Camp, Hospital Comptroller, agreed that this a would be an ideal time to refinance these bonds because the interest rates are lower than when the bond 3ssue was first approved. Edwards asked if it would he wise to wait for the interest rates to drop further. Diones explained that that i . is a valid concern because as long as the escrow exists the refinancing can only be refunded once; however, it is better to do the refunding as early as possihle I f because savings are generated from the refunding date on. � i Child moved to approve the refinancing resolution. Edwards seconded the motion i and it passed unanimous7.y. � i °------- I Colorado Hal Clark, of the Planning Office, presented a proposal for a Colorado Ute line 1 Ute Line Extension extension. This consists of a request by Colorado Ute for a special review petmit to construct a 115 KV line from Basalt to Aspen. The Commissioners initially approved the permit in September, 1976; however, prior to signing the resolution objections to the alignment were raised by the USFS and the Bureau of Land Manage- ` ment. The Forest Service and BI,M requested that the utility poles be located so 1 as to faailitate placement by helicopter rather than by ground placement which � would necessitate additional road construction. Letters were presented from the � BLM and USFS approving of Che alignment changes. The Planning Office recommends 1 3 , approval of the special review permit as drafted and recommends that Dave Boyle i be appointed to supervise the revegetation of the construction area. Representatives � o£ Colorado Ute explained the alignment map and stated that they would use exist- i ing roads and no new road construction would be necessary. Child asked if the � S $10,000 cash bond would be adequate. Clark replied that it would be. Edwards � requested a provision for follow-up on the revegetation. Clark stated that this � r _.. would be done. � Edwards moved to approve the resolution as ameaded. Ch31d seconded the motion � and it passed unanimously. � � --------° � ` Oldershaw Hal Clark presented a request by William Oldershaw for a subdivision exemption Subdivision Exemption to allow the exchange oF 2136 square feet of land between adjacent landowners to correct an encroachment of an existing building. The properties involved are � located on lote 42 and 44 of the Redstone Subdivision. The Planning OfFice I recommends approval of the request.

Stein The next item on the agenda was consideration of the Stein mini-warehouse special • Mini-ware- house review application and subdivision exemption. Dwight Shellman, attorney for Henry � Approval and Sub. Stein, stated that the questions raised at the last meeting concerning the special Exemption use permit have been resolved; a planning schedule for materials, a budget and the Planning Office recommendations have been incorporated in the resolution. Chil.d I asked if the lighting would be objectionable. Shellman stated that the lights � must be turned off at nine and are focused and shielded from the Airport Business i � � Center. � Edwards moved to approve the resolution. Child seconded the motion and it passed ` i unanimously. Shellman then presented an alternative subdivision exemption resolution. He � noted that the first resolution required that Stein give the County water rights q for minimum stream flow. Shellman felt that since that is not a uniform County � 3 J policy it should not apply to Stein. The Commissioners agreed with this. Edwards � moved to approve the resolution granting a subdivision exer�ption. Child seconded j � the,motion and it passed unanimously. � V ---------- . � i Elam The E1am construction permit was presented.

The Commissioners felt this should be adopted as an amendment to ! i the persottnel policy and procedures manual. Child moved to approve the resolution, ; Edwards seconded the motion and it passed unanimously. ! Maternity $aker presented a resolution regarding maternity insurance coverage benefits for Benefits County employees employed by the County fa21-time on or betore December 1, 1975. He explained that when the County switched to Prudential Insurance Company the � ! maternity benefits previously received under Blue Cross-Blue Shield were dropped. f Both Edwards and Child agreed that maternity benefits should not be paid for by � the County; there should not be a bonua for having children. The resolution was � � � not passed. F ; ---------- a . d i Vacation Saker presented a resolution adopting vacation pay advances to the personnel f Pay 4 Advances policy manual. Edwards moved to approve the resolution. Child seconded and the i motion passed unanimously. � i --------- j WTCti$ Brian Stafford presented a list of potential projects to be done by the Western ! � Intern ' i Projects Interstate Commission for Higher Education (WICHE) su�er internship program. � The Commissioners approved the allocation of $2,000 to be used for th� 1977 summer � , - program. The programs involved include a transportation development plan for i � Pitkin County, a study of the economic impact of drought on Pitkin County, an eval- ; � � uation for terminating the FICA program and a cost benfit analysia for serdices } received from Pitkin County. Stafford explained that the transportation develop- �{ 1 ment plan would probably be 80Y £unded by UMTA if the Commissioners decided to go � ahead with the concept. Edwards stated that he pre£erred the transportation � { � development plan over the other progratas presented. Child agreed. The Commissioners � felt that a study of the cost of development versus the revenues from development � I resulting in meaningful formulas would be an appropriate program for a WICHE ; � intern. They felt that if UMTA would fund an intern for the Cransportation develop- % ment program perhaps an intern could also be hlred for the development versus �! 1 revenue program. They requested that Sta£ford go ahead with the pro�ect. ; i ---------- j f Hwy. 82 She=iff Dick Kienast outlined to the Commissioners a grant proposal he would like � Grant I Commiesionera Meet3ng March 28, 1977 - 7 � i � ( ! �{ : _. ; :t�'��.: ',�� ,}f:. .. �.-.. •;,�. .:.._�..:wsv. .,.-vrck.w..tix!.'�.+Sa�r=�. ..

He needs permission £rom the Board before submitting the proposal. This proposal could result in Pitkin County i receiving the following: 1) a traffic engineering study, 2) advanced accident Y investigation training for Sheriff�s office personnel, 3) DUI enforcement training for Sheriff's office personnel, 4) selective traffic enforcement program for i Sheriff's office personnel, 5) local highway sa£ety commission. Local applica- � tions are due by May 15th. The contracts will be awarded in October. The Colorado Highway Safety Cou�ission, which directly handles federal funds, would pay for the grant. Kienast felt that he and Mark Skrotski could do the proposal on a consultant fee basis. Edwards asked that he estimate their hours and specify the � i work product to give the Board an idea of time schedule and cost; at that point ! � the Board would consider accepting the proposal. � ---------- ` e t At this point the joint City Council - County Commissioner meeting began. City j Council members present included Mayor Stacy Standley, Jenifer Pedersen, Nina a Johnston, Michael Behrendt. � i Commanity John Stanford, o£ the Planning Office, reported that the City has received a Facilities Budget $17,300 grant from the State Historical Society to be nsed foz the Wheeler Opera House. These are federal funds, allocated by the State, which are to be matched 50-50 by the City. The matching allocation can be satisfied by cash or in-kind ,s � • services. i Edgar Stern, of the Community Facilities Soard, presented their proposed budget for che three community facility buildings now being considered: the Wheeler � � � Opera Aouse, the Holy Cross building and the old Hospital building. StanFord � explained that the $7,000 portion of the Hospital building budget to be contributed by the County has already been budgeted by the County. He outlined two different concepts for using the grant money. The first called for maximizing the in-kind planning services used for the Wheeler Opera House and using the remainder of the � $17,300 in funds for the Holy Cross buildings. Stanford was uncertain when the Planning Office cou2d hegin accruing their in-kind services. The second alternative i presented called for splitting the $23,284.00 total for the haspital building + ' between the City and the County and using the srant money exclusively for Che � Wheeler. (This would represent an increase over the $7000 originally budgeted � Eor the County's portion.) Standley asked if the Community Facilities Board had � , ; � Coffinissioners Meeting March 28, 1977 ^ 8 ' I � ! , � ,f .r - r:;ia�•�..Y. t. � r T �y . . . _ . . . �. ,� . ,;'. ,a�ry. � F'`�'Cili:'. �;:v<: ,r�:;�;. consulted with the Chamber of Commerce group which is working on the concept of a concert center along the Rio Grand property. He felt the efforts of both groups should be integrated, and that any consultants should consider the role of the � 1 Wheeler and the Holy Cross building with and without this proposed center. ; Bet.rendt moved and Johnston seconded to accept the first alternative presented ! by Stanford, which would transfer $17,300 into Che Planning Office's budget for ' ' general coummnity facilities planning, maximize the use of in-kind setvices for the Wheeler and use the balaace of the funds for the Holy-Cross building. The motion passed unanimously. --------- � R Special Karen Smith, of the Planning Office, reported on their efforts for a special i Mid-Census t mid-census. The County previously attempted to be included in a special census for � � energy-impacted counties, however could not demonstrate energy-related population i s s impacts. Hawever, the Bureau of tke Census has indicated that they may consider i doing a census for Pitkin, Su�it- and Eagle counties upon completion of the energy �' i impact census. This would include population, age, distribution and income figures. j � The cost would be approximately 75¢ to 80q for each person counted; this would � y total approxima[ely $5000 for the City and $6000 for the County. The census will � F be done by people hired from the community. The group asked when this would be � � done, noting the differences between on and off-season. Presently, the City of � Aspen is shown at a population under 5,000, however this census would probably � � , increase the population results to over 5,000. Since 5,000 is often the cut-of£ 1 line used in grant applications this could have long-range effects. If the City's � 1 population is shown to exceed 5,000 they will become responsible Por maintenance ' of Highway 82 within the City limits. The group discussed the consequences of • � this, and how it would effect the mafntenance that may be done on Main Street by i , the State Highway Department this summer. Bill Kane, of the Planning Office fe2t ? � the census would be worthwhile due to grant and revenue sharing possibilities. i The group authorized Brian Stafford and Karen Smith to set up a census format � _ through NWCCOG. � i ;.. °------__ f ?;. !

Behrendt moved and Pedersen seconded � approval of the resolution. , � ---------- � i City takeover Tom Jones, Assistant City Engineer, presented a request for a one-year trial of Excavation Permits period for partial City takeover of excavation permits in the County. The City is establishing a Utility Location/Coordination program. They will compile the maps of nine different agencies which outline all underground utilities, and establish a more convenient permit proceduze. This w311 not represent a cost 9 increase to the City or County because the City presently receives a fair return 7 on their inspection fees. This takeover will be for ttew utility taps and the � repairing of existing facilities only; no main extensions wi22 be involved. George j � Ochs, the County Manager, xeported that the County only receives about ten requests i for excavation permits per year and the City received 116 last year. Edwards asked � F ; . if, under State regulations, the County can assign this responsibility to anyone : � but the Building Inspector, and if the Aspen Municipal Code covering this can be � � e enforced outside the City limits. '; � Pedersen moved and Sehrendt seconded to instruct the City and County Attorneys � � to draft an agreement for consideration at the next meeting. � � ---------- � A-95's The following A-95's were considered: i i !
