•�-� � character of the County as well as confonn to adopted growth policies and land use

��y ?� roads, including safety measures, traffic coimts and others, did not account for

i� introduced letters in support of the early morning flight submitted by the Aspen
;:S
';,� Flighlands Skiing Coiporation and the Tunberline Condominiwns.
�,. Madsen introduced a letter frmn Don Lemos on behalf of several Woody Creek residents.
�
i� Lemos opposed the early morning f1igY�t for various reasons; the flight pattern used '�•�'.; .
:?� by Rocky Mountain Aisways is directly over the Woody Creek area and any additional
: �
r+ flight would result in greater noise pollution, the tourist would derive no additional ��
{^ benefit fran the additional flight as baggage is now tnicked to Aspen in a timely
j�
�; fashion, and it was considered more cost effective to continue to truck such baggage x
i_�
'� as the roads are rarely closed whereas the airport frequently is. Lemos also noted
l� that the additional flight has already been published in the AOG as a regular passenger
h flight and not as a baggage flight; he was concerned that such was representative of
! �
�� an indi.rect atte�t to erode the ai.rport curfew. B
' � Kelly explained that fliqhts are published in the AOG at least one (1) year prior to 9
` €
� operation and that, in this instance, the early rtarning flight was scheduled in �
� anticipation of County apprwal. Kelly was concasned that the subject flight was
�
'` identified prior to Board approval. He noted that a survey was conducted during the •
� �..
, � past three (3) years on co�laints of tourists with respect to baggage; the rnmiber
of tourists that have ca�lained about baggage has increased fran twenty-two percent
,;v',
�.
(22$) in 1979 to twenty-seven percent (27�) i.n 1982. The early morning flight
would allow the airline to better service its passengers.
George Laswell, general manager of the Aspen Square Condomini�ans, supported the
�
' additional flight. Laswell noted that the biggest c�laint in the lodging business
" concerned baggage and he requested that the Board assist in solving thi.s problem. � •"
� Setty Farson, representi.ng Aspen Central Reservations, also supported.the'_flight �
�
requested by Rocky Mountain Aitways. Farson, although concerned with the noise i�acts
� associated with such a fli ht felt that the cartrninit should ' rove its ima e �'
9 . Y � 9 �:..
� with the tourists. �'�
�S: �;•'�;> �.
An unidentified individual questioned the need for an additional flight; it was not
� lmown, for instance, why the airline could not accomodate its passengers and baggage
i
` simaltaneously. ��
Arnold explained that it was necessasy to allow for two (2) hours between flights
to accamdate the transfer of baggage fran one (1) airline to another. The major �
carriers frequently connect with the local airlines, such as Rocky Mountain Aizways,
in less time than this, such so that baggage is not accanodated and it acciunulates
in Denver. Arnold felt that Stapleton Arport and its method of handling baggage was
primarily at fault, noting that this problem would be further exacerbated as the
