Francis Krizmanich presented the issues as ouflined in his Agenda Item Summary dated
April 2,1996. A copy of the Summary is attached hereto and made a part of the record as
Exhibit`°A." Francis Krizmanich stated there was a request in the application to rezone
the Aspen Quik Mart. Ttiey did not liave an actual development plan so Staff
recotnmended that the Quik Mart continue to retain its non-conforniing status. Non-
confonning is a lot less restrictive than it used to be. There are no provisions for
amortization. Appiicant a(so requested a ranch mana�er's unit and Staff noted there is
existing one illegal mobile home. It is located near tUe sewage lagoon parcel. Staff has
recommended the location for the Ranch Manager's Unit would be tUe vacated PMH
parcel.
Chuck Vidal, a representative for the applicant, stated the Barios family were the
originals owners of the property. They made an arrangement with the conservation fund.
The Aspen Village Homeowners' Association, which is a non-profit organization, has
been created. There ace 150 owners of the property. The�e are four banks par[icipating in -
BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS I APRIL 2,1996

�,.
funding of the property. Most of the 150 owners have met the bank criteria and have
qualified. ,
;.,
Cimck Vidal stated the people involved in the Conservation Fund are seasonat people, .� -
have affinity,and are motivated to work with everyone. The Aspen Valley Land Trust �
has been participating with regard to the conservation easement. Tltis project represents
no new development. The project more so represents a reduction in development
potentiaL It represents a change in format and a potential change in ownership concepts.
The appticants have fourteen tots that have been approved that are being extinguished in '
exchange for one lot on the top of Watson Divide. There are no increased impacts. They '?'
are actually getting the Aspen Village Mobile Home Park into a format where those
people that live there can finally resolve their home situation. '
Commissioner True went over the outstanding issues relative to tlie property. Quik Mart
would be rezoned to B-2,which staff and the P&Z lias suggested not be done. Applicant
stated this is not a major issue to them.
Applicant stated with regard to the single family homesite, they are asreeable to tHe
restrictions that are being discussed.
With regard to the ranch manager's unit, in context of the mobile home park, it is
" assumed it is an illegal unit. The isolated mobile home was not part of the park and was
created as part of 1he other parcel. Applicant stated d�e employee living in the mobile
home works both for the rancli and the mobile home park. The employee is prepared to
buy the unit as everyone else. Applicant wants to leave the mobile home in place.
Applicant wants to create an additional ranch manager's unit. Down tlie road,applicant �-
sees the mobile home park and the ranch parcel being under different ownership and
� different management. They do not feel this unit is illegal and tl�erefore not an issue
relative to the point that has been brought up.
Suza�me Konclian stated there is only one building envelope proposed on the 554 acres.
She asked if all development is proposed within the enve(ope,for instance,out buildings,
barns, agricultura! and whatever else is contemplated. Applicant stated there is a�e
building envelope for a free-mazket unit on the Divide. In response to the wildlife
concems,rather than have the ranch operation operate out of the envelope,applicant is
asking for an additional ranch manager's unit down in the locaiion where ihe PMH is
now. This would include tl�e outbuildings,i.e.,barns and maintenance buildings.
Commissioner Lamont asked if the caretaker unit was going to be where the primary .
residence is located. Applicant stated yes. Applicant stated in any case, tlie caretaker
unit at the residence and the ranch manager's unit can never be sold off separately. They
are not units to be able to get into the market place. They are integral with the property
and go in tact with the property. Suzanne Konchan stated one of the units has to be deed ..
restricted. It was agreed that this issue would be taken care of between first and second •
reading.

Tim Whitsitt,representative of the Aspen Village Homeowner's Association,stated all of
the nine-member board for the Homeowner's Association are in attendance and the four ti
representatives from the Banks are also in attendance. All four banks(CNB,Norwest,
Alpine,and Pitkin County Bank)have agreed to support the project in terms of interim �,.
loans which will allow the Haneowner's Association to buy the park in gross and tlien
pursue into a subdivision approval. The banks require the applicant has at least 134 of
the 150 people that have home units io qualify for a loan. Right now, they have i38
homeowners qualified. T'he Board has asked the applicant to process this through the
affordable housing subdivision exemption. Applicant has agreed to process the
application under tlte affordable housing subdivision exemption. There are I50 units in
the park. The I SOth unit has never really been a part of tlie park, It is dte maintenance .
employee that does the ditch�vork. The unit is on land that is not in the park. But in the
course of this transaction,he is considered part of the community. Applicant's proposal
is to bring him in and have him part of the Aspen Villa�e Subdivision and approve his
unit as the 150th unit in the park. It has never been previously approved. Because is
being offered the right to buy his own unit,he may or may not through the future always '
be the maintenance employee for the ranch. This forces the Conservation Pund to say
they need to make a provision for somebody that is going to run the ranch. The Board
agrees this is no longer an issue.
� Commissioner Ireland stated he would like to see timited lighting on the parceL
Applicant stated he feels there are two big issues for the Board to deal with today. First is
the eight PMH units that are associated with the subdivision that has been developed
across the road. One argument is that tl�e eight will not need to be built until there is a
development proposed for the six lots. The six lots will not get developed if the eight
� units are not developed. If nothing ever gets done, what you have done is wiped out
anothez unit of free markei development on Yhe Aspen River Valley River Homes. The
question is, it was an exaction for tHe free market development across the river. Why
should the Boazd give it up? One of the answers is the park was offered to tenants who
are emp[oyees and living in the County at a price far below the market value. Current
free market appraisal for the park,as of last August,was 5.8 million dollars. This was
offered to the park association for about 4.5 mi►lion dollars. Essentially what the
conservation fund has done is already put a 13 mi[Iion into the empioyee housin�coffers
by essentially allowing these residents to buy out their unit at below-tnarket values. P&Z
accepted this argument as a good reason not to require construction of the eight PMH
units. lf the Commissioners believe there is a need to satisfy the obligation somehow,the
proposal suggested is that of the 150 owners,about 12 cannot qualify or purchase. The
Association's option there is there will be approximately i l that will be on long-term
land leasehold. The applicant would be willing to dedicate those to category price
restrictions to extent titey are not purchased in order to satisfy the obligation.
Commissioner Ireland stated the reason he would like to see some of the units restricted �
is to preserve the opportunity for other people to get a foothold into the park. He also

. F '
thinks die viability of the park as a living space would be enhanced by having some of the � ;.:'
units for sale or for rent. He feets the associatiort should restrict some of these units to an
entry-level restriction. ' '`�
Applicant stated that tlie par[c is not anxious to see expansion. Atso,applicant stated the �. '�,.
sewer system will not accommodate an extensive expansion of tlie park. If they were to �
expand the park, it may involve substantial infrastructure increases that they are not
particularly interested in and may not be able to easily finance. Also,it may be a money- �
(osing pmposition for the applicant.
':r '
Commissioner Ireland stated the sewer system needs to be addressed. Applicant stated .
t[�e Homeowners' Association is establisi�ing a solid capital fund for these kinds of _ •
improvements. Tl�e intention is to have about$300,000.00 in working capital to address .
issues like this. Ti�e sewer is a functioning system. It is approved by the state and has ,
been inspected. It is up to required staz�dards. The County and Environmental Health has
given their okay.
Commissioner Ireland stated some of the owners are interested in expanding their units
by 30 percent. Wlten there is expansion,sometimes the extra space is rented out. This .
places extra strain on the sewer systent.
Applicant stated they woutd incorporate strict expansion regiilations. The Association
feels it can handle what it has right now and they can repair the problems. However,
when units are added on,they are getting into a situation they feel tl�ey might not be able
to handle.
��=
Commissioner Tuite asked Applicant if they would be opposed to the Board giving them
approval of eight more units. It would not be a requirement but the option would be
there. Applicant stated the Homeowners'Associaiion would not be opposed to this idea.
With regard to the R.O.issue,applicant is asking for 100 percent of the park to go under
. R.O.deed restriction. Under the R.O.guidetines,one of the concerns of the Park is the
price appreciation counts. Applicant strongly requests tlie Commissioner to take a iook at
the R.O. guidelines,particularly as they deal with a mobile home park conversion like
this. It provides some real difficulties to the homeowners. They have difficulties
intrusive to mobile homes. If you start working with price caps,you also start working
with capital investment restrictions. A mobite home unit,afrer essentiapy 20 years,will
need to be pulled off and completely replaced at the cost of close to what you had
invested in the wiiole deal in the first place. Applicant does not feel they are going to see
a major affordability problem here. Eie feels the property woutd operate at a different �
level and at a slower appreciation rate versus otl�er properties around dte area.
Commissioner True asked if a 20-year old mobile home is pulled off a lot, what is
availabie to place on the lot,and if couverted to a stick-built unit,is a basement or second
floor available in their covenants?

Applicant stated tliere are proposed restrictions. Francis Krizmanicli stated tliere are ��..
some zoning limits. There is a maximum floor area For eacli lot of 30. 1'he lots range
from 2,700 to 8,300 square feet. The smailest minimum FAR is a 1,000 square feet. You �' ••
have up to 3,000 square feet on the largest lot. Square footage for storage structm•es 150
square feet on each lot. Maximum carport size is 400 square feet. (There is a restriction
against garages.) Below grade space is allowed, not to exceed the footprint on the
individual lot. The maximum allowable height sl�all be 12 feet for flat roofs and 14 feet
for peaked roofs. Fourteen feet(measured at roof line midpoint)would give you to the
peak of a roof 19 feet and you could actually create. Height for carports is 9 feet for flat
roofs and 9 feet at midpoint for peak structures. Lot line setbacks are 10 feet on all sides. ' '
Carport/storage structures are one foot setbacks. Mr.Krizmanich stated these restrictions '
will be incorporated into the covenants and they should also be reflected as a variation for
the mobile home park zoning restrictions. Applicant stated there is a requirement in the
covenants that each of the lots be owner occupied and a prohibition against lot mergers.
The guidelines for the covenants follow Housing Authority guidelines. There is a
restriction on sliort-terni rentals. The R.O. guidelines will be Followed. App(icant is
trying to set up a leave of absence provision.
Francis Krizmanich stated R.O.zoning can be done totally above board with this project
- and so can category 4 or any otlier category. Witli regard to resirictions,he feels there is
a Code amendment problem. His recommendation is that the Board will have to pick
restriction they want to apply but the applicants would still have to come in and go
through a Code amendment process separate[y. It wouid probably only be the rise in the
capital appreciation. Commissioner Tuite stated it would be easier to change the
guidelines than a Code amendment.
Commissioner True stated the fundamenia!issue is the no-cap issue and whether it has Yo
be included in the guidelines to provide a mobile home pazk exception or manufactured
home park exception or not. They have to see if the Board is interested in pursuing an
RO.provision without the appreciation cap.
Commissioner Ireland said he would like to do this but without delaying the project so
that the people's financing is not in danger. He wants to approve the park with the
current guidelines and then come back and amend them to protect the loan situation.
Commissioner Tuite asked the bank representatives what the status is on the loan
situation. The representatives stated Yhey have approval from institutions but tliey have a .
few more requirements to go through from the Denver institutions. They have received
permission to provide financing based upon appraisal of 139 zone now units. When tliey
worked with the appraisers on these,they did not work with caps. They also received
permission for 10 PMH units and on that they are laoking at PMH four. They are not ,
waiting upon the Board's decision. Conunissioner Tuite asked how much time is left in -
the financing package. The fii�ancing package was set for April lSth with a 30-day
window. ;

Commissioner Tuite reiterated the issues. He stated the banks have no restriction. The .�.
only thing the Board can do right now with what they have in place is a 4 percent cap. :�,
He says the Board is saying they are willing not to do a 4 percent cap. The question is '
how do they get this closed in a such way they do not lose the financing and they stay . '
within the time line.
Applicant stated the Banks are willing to work with a step process. The applicants are
wil[ing to go forward and approve it the way it can now on the current time line and then
have the Board consider amendments to the R.O.guidelines that would lift the cap. r�
David Ritter stated the Homeowners' Association is paying about $2,000.00 a day in ; -
interest. He feels the Board needs to compact as quickly as possible so they can�et the : •
interim loans closed.
Commissioner Lamont stated she had a problem with lifting die 4 percent cap but after '
today's discussion,she feels better about fifting the 4 percent cap.
It was agreed the County needs to be a beneficiary of the covenants.
_ Commissioner Lamont stated when a R.O.unit is sold,it needs to go through the Housing
office. TI»s requirement should be reflected in the covenants.
Commissioner iretand stated the Board could give direction to Staff to expeditiously
review how we change the guidelines to remove the cap for this project and maybe this
would give tl�e banks sufficient comfort so they can move forward. Tl�e banks agree this �-
would be fine.
Dave Ritter supporfs the removal of the cap from dtis project.
Suzanne Konchan,County Manager,asked when they prepare an amendment to lift the
appreciation cap requiremeiits,sIiould they aznend it to allow for larger above-grade and
below-grade provisions or not?
Commissioner Lamont wanted to know how many units are affected by this because the
largest unit could be 2,500 square feet above grade,the R.O.guidelines right now allows
2,200 square units.
Applicant stated there are[ess tl�azi 15 units that would be affected. . '
Commissioner Ireland asked applicant if this is a vital issue to the Association or is the
Association willing to cut out a step in the process and just say it is 2,200 feet.

Commissioner Trae stated he supports Bill Tuite's suggestion that the Board approve the
extra lots They could create the deed-restricted iots but the Association may never use
them. Commissioner also supports the proposal for the 10 or l2 units. �'�
A discussion ensued regazding whether a�iything lower than Category 4 would work on �
the deed-restricted anits. It was agreed that applicants would research this issue. As it
stands now, Category 4 works well with regard to the financing end of it. Anything
lower is questionable but will be researched.
Commissioner Ireland moved to adopt on first rcading the ordinancc for rezoning

' und second reading on April 16, 199G at 5:30 p.m. A second was made by
Commissioner Tuite. Commissioner Lamont initiatcd a discussion nt fhis point.
A discussion ensued regarding whether a drafr of the final plat should be submitted to the
Commissioners for review to see where the location of the additional eight lots might be.
� Francis Krizmanich stated he feels the 150th lot,the employee of the ranch and mobile
1�ome park's unit,should not be locaYed to the lagoon. Applicant stated a 5,000 squaze
foot lot is designated on the plat for the empioyee/maintenance unit. Krizmanicli is
suggesting it is not a good place to place a lot because it is near a sewage lagoon and a
maintenance building and the highway. He feels the unit should be placed in the park
along with tlie other owners.
Commissioner Tuite a�rees with Mr. Krizmanich. He stated if this unit is going to be
moved,it should be moved to where the eight other units will be built(if and when they
aze built).
On final plat,they wiIl ideniify location for nine units.
To clarify the issues, Commissioner Ireland stated what the Board is trying to do is if
everybody buys up in the park,that is fine. But if they do not,the uniYs not boughi will
become restricted. Now if the Association,for convenience,wants to bring in somebody
from the outside to buy a restricted a unit,this fine a1so.

Commissioner True stated the point is the R.O.ability for the entire project is available '
for those residing in the park today.

Suzanne Konchan stated she would like to see Staff work with Tim and Chuck on -
clarifying some of the condition language since there is not going to be a final ptat �
provision. She wants to make sure the resolution can be a stand-aloite document,there is
not references to third-party papers. She wants to make it as conciusive a document as
possibie. She wants inctuded the County will be a beneficiary to the covenants, the
manager's unit will have to resolve in terms of deed restriction,and they will include the �
units that are not sold to residing owners by second reading being timited to the category
3 and to work on other category restrictions. ,
` Commissioner Lamont stated her hope is tltat some of d�e deed restricted uniis be
category 2 if it works. She woutd be amenable to a combination of categories.
Applicant reiterated the concern that the tigliter restrictions might put them into a bind •
with tlieir bank financing.
A member of public asked about the B-2 zoning, Commissioner True stated it was
discussed earlier iil the meeting. It was the consensus of Staff;the Board and P&Z that
� given the lack of factual ctaims for that aud given the change regarding nou-conforming
status, tUey decided not to rezone to B-2. The Planning Commission made the
recommendation and it is in the Resolution.
Francis Krizmanich said they were not comfortable looking at a complete B-2 rezoning
with the description of potential uses. Ti�e non-conforming section is quite a bit different.
If aaytUing burnt down or tkere was an accident,you might not be allowed to rebui(d.
The new con-forming section of the Code allows you absolutely to rebuild your business
if it is destroyed or if you decide to tear it down and go into a new building. It ailows to
you to make minor changes to the structure leve]right now with Staff level approvaL It
allows you to make substantial changes by applying for review before the County
Commissioners. It is quite a bit different non-conforming use standard than the County
had before. Staff and the Planning Cotnmission are uot totally against the B-2 rezoning.
They had,in fact,approved a B-2 zoning for the OId Snowmass Conoco but they had a
very specific development plan. It would take a very specific development plan here to
support a B-2 zoning. This is why the Planning Commission recommended it stay the
same for the time being.
Tl�e same member of the public asked about the EPA requirements on gasotine tanks ai
this point in time and wiil the existiug non-conforming use status allow them ro upgrade
the tanks within the procedure. If tliey do not, then they have a problem. Francis
Krizmanich said as far as he can tell,it is completely allowed to puli out the tanks and
reptace ihem.

ISSiJES: This is the first reading of a rezoning ordinance and resolution for Aspen Village,Inc. '
This application requests multiple land use approvals for an approximately 879-acre property
which includes the Aspen Village Mobile Home Park,ttte Quik Mart and the ranch land
extending from highway 82 to the top of Watson Divide. This application includes the requests
out[ined beIow(Please see the attached P&Z memorandum for more specific details on each
issue):
1. Vacate the existin�14-unit subdivision and the PMH parcel and create a ranch parcel with a
� ranch-manager unit and ranch outbuildings.
2. Develop a single-family homesite with a caretaker unit on the 554-acre parcel. The proposed
homesite has been selected bazed on review of all important 1041 issues,particularly
wildlife,combined with the need for t[ie creation of a property that would attract a
conservation buyer and future land manager. The proposal also includes preservation of the �
� parcel as open space by placing it under a cortservation easemenL
3. The Mobile Home Park will be rezoned,subdivided and sold to the Aspen Village
Homeowner's Association(Association)who wili seil the lots to individ¢al homeowners.
The expansion parcel will be conveyed to the Association subject to an open space/recreation
conservation easement. The sewer lagoons wili be included in the mobile home pazk parcel
and a half-acre water tank pazcel will be conveyed to the Association. The gas station and
store will remain a commercial parcel.
This application was submited prior to the recent amendment to the AH sections of the Iand •
use code. These amendments were not presented to the Planning and Zoning Commission.
Based on the new code amendments,the BOCC has the ability to a[low the subdivision to be
I00%R.O. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended a restriction to Category 4, •
primarily based on the applicant's request to eliminate 8 category units which are required as
a result of an approval on a portion of the property.
The applicants represent�tives have indicated that the Homeowners have concerns regarding
the current R.4.guidelines. Thus,the agplicants may propose a code amendment creating a -.
