STAGE Iii APPEAL OF ADMINISTRATIVE DECISiON-MOTION TO
REMAND BACK TO TNE JOINT GROWTH MANAGEMENT COMMISSION
, Suzanne Wolff,Staff Planner,introduced t(iis item as an application,submitted by George
. Karasch,represented by Alan Richman,to appeal the Growth ManagemenYs Commission
scoring of Uie application. They are requesting thaY the joint City CounciUBoard of County r
Commissioners overturn that scoring based on a denial of due process. The Counci!did sustain
� tl�e initial appeal unanimously and diat gave the applicant die opportunity to come forward now. �
� This joint body also has to first determine that due process was denied. !f that deterniination is
� made,tlien they consider remedies that are available to the applicant.
i
� Suzattne Wolff swnmarized,as outiined in her memorandum,the applicant requested one Metro
Area residen[ial GMQS allotment to develop a free market dwelling above Stage lll Theaters.
, 6 There was no competition;this was the oniy application. At t6e public hearing before the �
; Grow[I�Management Commission in January,staff presented recommended scores to the �
•' Commission and recommended tliat the Commission adopt these scores. After some discussion,
F
t here was a motion not to a dopt t he sta f Ps scores an d t he Commission mem bers at t hat time
scored the application themselves. Tlie application exceeded the minimum score in three of the �
categories,but did not receive the minimum thresliold of three in the fourth category,which is
maintainina design quality,historic compatibility,and community character. Therefore,the
allocation was denied. She said the basis of the applicant's appeal is that the commission did not
complete all of the steps necessary to score an application as specified in the code. And the
failure to complete those steps denied the applicant the opportunity to have the application fully ,

and properly considered by the Commission,and resulted in scoring errors by the members. She r
said the code outlines two scoring rounds and allows discussion between those rounds,but does ` '`�
not require a discussion. In this case,Uiere was only one round of swring that was done, �J
essentially a preliminary round and there was no final round of scoring. A copy of her ���r':.;'
memorandum summarizing this item nnd the scoring procedures is attached fiereto and made a �, -.
part of tliis record as F�LHII3IT"A'. j`.; ,,
i';.
Ms.Wolff said that it is staff's recomtnendation that the Councii and the Board of County � _
� Commissiouers ove�turn the Growth Management Commission scoring and remand the � "�
�r'
upplication to the Joint GrowUi Management Commission. 1'6ey feel that the described "r':r'':
procedure was not followed and therefore,that the scoring process may have been flawed.
Commissioner Lamont asked if the discussion of disagreement between the commission !
members and staff flushed out enough and wiiether or not the applicant had the opportemity to
participate in that discussion and offer background.
� ' � Ms.Wolff responded tfiat it was a fairly extensive discussion on the part of the commission. ,� _
+ However,the applicant was not able to respond to some of the issues that were coming up. But
while they were discussing stafPs scores,they did get into a pretty extensive discussion of Nieir �
! concerns with stafPs scoring and how they would consider rescoring it or providing different �Y'F
scares. F�'
• � e
� Commissioner Farcis quastioned if there was any discussion prior to getting to the fourth
� ' category.
i
iMs.Wol{f responded that when they got to tl�at category,before they scored,there was some
discussion und the some of the commission members were presenting reasons why they did not
j agree widi staft's scoring and why t(iey felt that it did not warrant a threshold score of a tivee.
And that is when t6ey decided that the they should allow the members to score tl�emselves.
� Then they took a vote,tUe scores were called out,and the meeting ended.
- ;
; Council member Waggaman questioned that in the discussion before the first vote,was there
� enough discussion for people to have a reasonably good sense that this was going down I flames
� or was it still pretty amorphous?
� Ms.Wolff responded that everyone in the room was pretty sliocked or suprised when the actual
� vote came out. She said that ihere was definitely strong sentiment in the design category;people
r disagreed and felt that it did not meet the criteria. But she does not think that anyone at that
E point was aware that ihis project was not going to meet at least tlte thres(iold.
�
'< Council member Wagggaman asked Ms.Wolff if she thinks that people left the meeting because
they thought they had their vote,that they had no alternative and they forgot thut they were '
supposed to have two votes. Was the issue of the second vote brought up at all?
i
, Ms.Wolff responded that the issue did not come up. Staff did not bring it up,nor did ihe
Commission bring it up.
.
Council member Max Marolt said that getting back to due process,the applicant went in there �' � '
with a criteria to compete with other projects and there was no other projects so there was no �

competition. As a result,it would be very difficult to score compared to anything else,if you '�
didn't have tlte competition. So if they had competiteon,this score may have scored I00 perceni. �
But as it worked out,there was no competition and it scored at the bottom of the scale because ;��
everybody voted very nonchalant .
.:�;
Commissioner Lamont said when the LaBurge was scored there was a huge amount of '' '
discussion because staffwas recomme�ding denial. Because of the recommendation of denial, .
Yhe applicant had to bring in some amenities to pull the score up. She diinks a project should be -
scored and stand on its own to meet the ihreshold. She refen�d to Alan Richmond's letter of
appeal in which fie says tliat in the old days of scoring not meeting thresho(d in one category did p:�'�
kill the project. She said she disagrees with this. That someone liad to meet threshold in every �_::
� single category. _
i .
ICommissioner Harper explained that part of the process problem is that the Commission does
not have a real submission nor are they looking at the detail that they nonnally see in conceptual
. � and de[ailed submissions.
. . ' I
,� � Commissioner Lamont said because the second score did not occur,she would rtcommcnd �
: � that we find t6at tlte technical aspect of the process was not thoroughly pursued nnd
, because of that there was not the ability to have a give and take discussion with a question
and ans�ver period amongst the Joint Commission. She explained thnt when the Growth �
' Management section of tl�e cocle tvas tivritten,it was with t1�e envision to give tLe ability for
applicants and people to be outside of the box and work together to come up wit6 the best .
- � � project av�ilable. Therefore,she would move that the Board go with the City CounciPs
� recommendation. CommissionerHar�erseconded the motion. Motion pnssed
� � unanimously.
i �
i
! A discussion ensued as to whether or not the application should be sent back to the Growth ��
. Management Commission.
f ;
Mayor Bennett said that remandiug the application back to tha Commission was certainly the
wny he felt personally at the end of their meeting. He thinks the majority of the City Council felt
1 the same way.
_ :
e �
t ; Council member Waggaman said she suppods remanding and the reason for that is because they
y � did not get a chance to reconsider and revoke.
f �
� i Lenny Oates,representing the applicant,said they think tliis is a City project and therefore,they
would like to propose an option of sending it back Yo the City Planning and Zoning Commission
' � because its the one that is going to have to analyze the rest of this applicatian.
ti
�
� _
! John Wochester pointed out that the municipal code says remedies available for the Joint City
Council/Board of County Commissioners shall include,but not be limited to and he thinks this is
what Mr.Oates is lianging his flag on. However,he would strongly recommend that this not to
! follow Mr.Oates'recommendation.

After a discussion,it was the consensus of Board ntembers and Council members th�t the "" .
direction should be to sand it back to the Joint Growth Management Commission due to the Fact
that this is how the process and the rules and regulations are set up. �i
•' �
Council member Marolt stated that he thinks jointly there should be an amendtnent to the ' .`'•;
i process. ' '
Cindy Houben,County Community Development Director,said she thinks it is important to note
that the scoring criteria is the same for the City and the County when they are looking at diese
applications. Another issue is she thinks that one thing that happened during the amendment
; process which was an over site,was the ability to go back and make changes to an appfication if y'� '
j you are the only person in the competition without having to wait a year because that is a true !":'
� hardship. For whatever reason,this was left out ofthe amendment.

SUMVIARy: George Carisch,represented by Alan Richman,has submitted aq appeal of tlte GroMh �':i
� �(anaeement Commission's scoring of the Stage�Penthouses application. The notice of appeal requests �� y�r
diar diejoint City CouncilBoard of Counry Commissioners overcurn the Gro�vth Manasement ' `�`
! Commission's scoring based on a denial of due process.The notice of appeal is attached as E.�chibit A,
- and was received by the Community Development Director widiin the required 14 day period afrer the �
Council's decision. �
y
On February 10,Council sustained the initial appeal based on a denial of due process,which�ave the
applicant the opportunity to submit this appeal to the joint CoanciUBoard. '� �
� BACKGROUND: The applicant requested one meho area residential Gb[QS allotment to develop one �
free market dwellin�unit above the Stage 3'I'heaters. No other applications were received for the 1996 �.
competition. A copy of the appiication is included as E:chibit F. !
� r .�
At the public hearin�before the Growth Mana�ement Commission on January l4,1997,staff presented � �
recommended scores to the Gro�vth vlana�ement Commission,and recommended that the Commission
adopt these scores: Althou�h adoption of staff's scoring is not addressed in the procedures in the Code, - ',
-� staff has presented tl�is option in the past�vhen there was no competition for allocations. Staffawarded �
� tlte project a total score of 12: the application met the minimum threshold score of three poinu for each • ,i
of the four growth management scoring criteria, The staff inemo and score sheet are attached as Exhibit j
� B. � .
�
��
Afrer discussion of the criteria and staff's recommended scores,the Commission members determined
` t hat t hey did not agree with stafFs scorin�. The Commission members then scored the application
individually and staffcalculated final average scores for the four criteria. The tally sheet of the
Commission's scores is attached as E:chibit C. The application exceeded the minimum threshold score of t '
three fn three of die scoring categories,but did not receive the minimum threshold score of three in the �;
":blaintaining desi�n qualiry,historic compatibility and community character"category. Section ='
36.t00.060(C)(5)of the Aspen Municipai Code states,"No growth management allocation shall be ���

The Code specifies that a preliminary and a final scoring round shall be held. The Commission only held
one scoring round on this application. Estensive discussion of staff's recommended scores occurred •
prior to the Commission's scoring,.but no discussion occurred following the scoring. Although the Code '
does not require the Commission members to discuss or justify their scores between scoring rounds,a
second scoring round provides the members an opportuniry to reconsider their scores. The applicant in _
this case�vas denied the possibility of revisions since the procedure in the Code was not followed. , i'�";; '
i. -
i:�.;.
A letter from Joe Edwards,representing the Concept 600 Condominium Association,asserts that due
�^':•
process was not denied and that the scoring should be affirmed by the CouncilBoard. Tfie letter is � � ;-, .
attached as Eshibit E. �' ;
�.
.�1LTERNATIV�ACTIONS: The Council/Board has the following options to respond to the appeal,as ''
provided in Section 26.100.060(D)(3)of the Code: �
;.
�
. . :�
�; l. The Council/Board may affirtn the scoring of the Gro�vth Management Commission. This action
'! shall constitute the final administrative order on the matter. �
�
2. The Council/Board may overturn the Gro�vth Management Commission's scoring and take such
• action as it deems necessary to remedy tlie Commission's action. Remedies available include,
but are not limited to.amending the number of points awarded or remandin�the application back
• � to the Commission for rescorino.
�� The applicant requesu that the Council/Board amend the number of points awarded,or if the preferred f
f remedy is to remand die application to the Growth Nlana�ement Commission for rescorino,that U�e -;
iCounciiBoard consider remanding the application to the Aspen Planning and Zoning Commission only,
:( whicli�vould sit as the Growth Management Commission for this application only. The applicanYs
j3 justiftcation for this request is included in the notice of appeal(E:chibit A).
RECOD�D�IENDED ACTION: Staff agrees�vith the applicant that the prescribed procedure was not
f?' followed,and,therefore,that the scoring process may have been flawed. Staff also recognizes that this
RF, "denial of process",tlioueh"unfair",may not legally be considered a"denial of due process". However, f
�j in urder to uphold the importance of the scoririg procedure as established in the Code,staff recommends F
i'.: that Council/Board overturn tlie Growth Managemenc Commission's scorin�and remand the application f
_.-�� to the joint Growth Management Commission for rescoring.
�i �
r f If the application is remanded,staff requests direction from the Council/Board as to how the Growth ' f
� �` Vtana,ement Commission should proceed witli the rescorin�. Specifically,staff�vould su�gest that the E
± full scoring process should occur,whereby staff and the applicant would make presentations to the �
Commission,and the Commission would complete Rvo scorin�rounds. This would allow the E �
'� ' Commission to proceed�vithout tryin�to reassemble the exact members who were present at the original
' scoring of the application.

� RE: NO'TICE OF.APPEr1L OF STaGE 3 THFATERS RESIDENTIAL GMQS SCORING
Dear Stan and Counc�and Board Members, ��q�r?•`
�,I`,�.
Please consider this letter to be a notice of appeal of the scoring by the Growth ,��
Management Commission of the Stage 3 Theaters Residential GMQS Application for one :.
' (1) free market unit and three (3) affordable"housing units. The scoring was conducted !
during a public hearing held.by the Growth vlanagement Commission on January 14,1997. �
j The appeal is being submitted on behalf of Mr. George Carisch {hereinafrer, "the
I Appellant"),a managing partner of Carisch Brothers,a il�Iinnesota General Partnership,the
� property owner. It is submitted pursuant to Section 26.100.060 D.of the Aspen Land Use.
Regulations,Cha(lenges and�Qpeals Made by Aggrieved Parties.
. i
Section 26.100.060 D.1. provides as follows: `
.i.'.
"Upon receipt of t/ie Growth ddmtagement Commission's ra�:ldng of development applications,
'! the Citv Council shaU conside.r any appealr made by persons a�rieved by tke scoring of the

As provided by these Regulations,the Appellant submitted a nouce of appeal to the City �`'' �.�.„
Council on January 27,1997. On February 10,1997,the Aspen City Council considered the '- = •
notice of appeal and by a unanimous vote of 5-0 decided to sustain the appeal. ��'� ''
Therefore,as provided by Secrion 26.100.060 D.3.of the Aspen Land Use Regulauons,the � ` ���`'' "
Appellant hereby files this notice of appeal to the Aspen City Council and the Pitldn County s:�-+..�-�•
Board of County Commissioners. Ck;_;".: -.
� In this appeal we will demonstrate that the applicant was denied due process during the
Growth Ytanagement Commission's scoring. We request, therefore, that the joint Ciry ±�,
CouncilBoard of County Commissioners remedy the Growth Management Commission's
,, ,
• action,as authorized by Section 26.100.060 D3. of the Aspen Land Use Regularions. � •
. �
Basis of Appeal •
„;;r.
The basis of the applicant's appeal is thaf the Growth Management Commission did not ,�'r
complete all of the steps required to score a growtfi management application,as speci6ed ���
. in the Aspen Land Use Regulations. Failure to complete all of these steps denied us the
opportunity to have our application fully and properly considered by the Commission,which
is a denial of the due process specified by the Aspen Land Use Regularions. �
�
�
� Growth management scoring procedures are specified in Secrion 26.100.060 C.of the Land
Use Regulations,Allocation Procedures for Non-Exempt Development It provides that:
i
� "a. Each growtit managemertt commission member shaU assign a whole isumber scare(not
a fractional number)to tke project.
s b. Following the inidal scorin� commission members slzall be free to discuss individual
scores and to ojJ'er justificadon for such scores
i
� c. FoUowing the close of Growth,Lfanagement Commission d'ucussions regarding initial �
�
scorin� a ftnal scoring round will be held, dwo:g which each Growth Management �
•I Commission member sha1T again identify the number of poinu, expressed as whole
numbers, assigned to the project. Growth Maiiagement Commission members shall be
� free to revise the number of poin�s awarded to a project benveen the preliminary and
fznal scaring rotuids."
�
; As the record of the Growth Management Commission hearing shows,the Commission did
not perform both the required preliminary and final scoring of the application. Only a single
; round of scoring was performed and no discussion of individual scores or justification of such `'
scores was offered. Therefore,that single round of scoring must,according to the Aspen -+ ,
� Land Use Regulations,be considered the Qreliminarv_and not thz final round of scoring. �` i �

.l
The fact that Growth Management Commission members did not discuss their score or offer '
justification for the scores given is of crucial importance to their action on this application.
We have attached to this letter a copy of the scores given to our project by the Commission. °- ��'�
It illustrates that our project exceeded the threshold score(an average of 3 points)in all of • 1:,�_
, the categories except for the 5nal category, Maintaining Design Quality, Historic ':� '
� Compatibiliry and Community Chazacter. •
I ,
In that one category,our project received.a score of 3 or 4 from five members and a score •
of 1 or 2 from four members. If there been a discussion of the preliminary scoring by the ,
members,some of the members who scored us below the thresho3d could have increased �+
, - their scores to 3,while some who scored us at or above the threshold could have increased
`� their scores to offset the unexpectedly low scores �ven by the other members. We say
' "une:�pectedly low", because staff had recommended a score of 3 for this criteria and an �
: ove:all score for our project that met the threshold for an allotment. I
' The discussion and justification of the scores would have been particularly relevant in this
instance,because af the comments made on the record by neigt�bors to this project. As the
' ` record demonstrates,several of our neighbors made emotional comments to the Commission
�; regardin�their anricipated loss of views from our proposed project_ However,consideration �
of the impacts of development on private views, as opposed to public viewplanes, is not `
,� within the purview of the.Growth Management Commission. The standards for this scoring
category are instead as follows: �
� j� 'Area residerets recogrzize the impoaa�tce of design wuliui ihe [arger fdstoric setting of the k
�� communicv. It ir a vital component of the commurtiry s ea�wmic well-being and cullural �
;� heritage. They believe ar�chitecnue should support and enhance community life. Their goal is
f� to ensure the maitttenmice of commiuiiry cliaraaer tluougli design quality and hisroric features.
j ' ::
' s There are a variety of ways in which a project might address rhe goal of maintaining design �
-. � qualitv, huroric compaabiliry and communiry character, uzctuding bttt not limited to the ?.
t following: '

and enhance the special character of the hutoric dispict; `••
�'.
f. ensuring the site's usability for social activities."
� ' . i'�"<. _
As can be readfly seen,these standards,while not intended to be all encompassing,do not ;`;r^'
in any way speak to the issue of private views. Instead, they address design compatibilitv
with regard to scale,massing,materials and fenestration and also consider a number of other ;I'��` •
neighborhood,community and social concerns that are of a uP blic•not a private nature. i •
: �
Given the emotion e�ressed by members of the public regarding this issue, and the �,
. , comments of one Growth Management Commission member prior to the scoring that their �
► emorions could have a powerful influence on the members,we.feeI particularly ag�-ieved
� . at not having had the opportuniry to hear the Commission members who scored our project
, below threshold justify their scores,or at least to have had heard a discussion of those scores I
. by the Commission members. �
; The applicant's representatives were careful to limit.our remarks to those pertinent to the �
GMQS scoring criteria, and not to those that would have been relevant to the Aspen
Planning and Zoning Commission's review of our proposed FAR bonus,which was scheduled
� to follow the G�iQS scoring. Because opponents of the project made these comments on !
.I the record, we would have certainly welcomed the chance to point out to Commission
members that the some of the public comments they heard were not relevant to the GMQS
� scoring criteria, or to have made our own presentation regarding the FAR issue. This �
. 1;
;� opportunity would have presented itself had the Commission held a discussion between the
';� preliminary and final scoring. This.discussion would have also given the staff the opportunity
f� to clarify this scoring criterion for Commission members before they finalized their scores. �
��
� { Requested Remedy - �
( �'
� � Based on the above,we hereby respectfully request that the joint Aspen City CouncilBoard �
� � of County Commissioners ratify the finding made by the City Council on Februar;+10,that
c : the Growth Mana�ement Commission's action denied the Appellant his due process. Once
� this finding is made,Section 26.100.060 D.3.of the Regularions provides that:
"Remedies available to the joint City Council/Board of County Commirsioners shall include,but �
not be limited to,amending the number of poinu awarded or remanding the application to the
Growth:Yfanagement Commusion for rescoring". �
Please note that this language expressly does not limit the joint City Council/Board of
' County Commissioners from considering any and all remedies they feel are justified to � . _
j address the procedural defect they have found. � �1� "

From our perspective, the most effective remedy to the Commission's acrion would be for
the City Counci]JBoard of Counry Commissioners to amend the number of points awazded .
to our project with respect to 'SVlaintaining Design Quality, Historic Compatibility and �,:�'�`•
Community Character”. If the score given to us in that category were amended$om 2.6 to (':��...
3.0, we would become eligible for an aUotment and could proceed back to the Aspen
Planning and Zoning Commission for a public hearing on our subdivision,special review and
� other requesu. � �.
� While we would certainly prefer this remedy to any other, we listened carefully to the
remarks made by City CounciI members dnring their meeting on February 10. We
understand that you may instead wish to remand the application to the Growth Management ��
' � Commusion for rescoring. If this is the approach the joint City CouncilBoard of County
�, Comaussioners chooses,then we believe that the most appmpriate remedy in this particular �
;+ circumstance would be to remand the application for rescoring by the Aspen Pfanniag and �'
'; Zoning Commission only, which the joint City CouncilBoard of County Commissioners r.
.� would ditect to sit as the Growth�Ianagement Commission for this application only. ��f
i
. :� We request this remedy for the following reasons:
j:
1. There was only one (1) residential growth management application submitted this
year,requesring just one (1) allotment. That applicarion proposes development on -
a site that is not only located wholIy within the City of Aspen,but is actually located
• within Aspen's downtown core. There is no logical reason that this development
. i would be of any concern or interest to Pitkin County,other than that the GMQS has
been sei up to jointly address development throughout the Aspen Vletro Area.
i';
E 2. It was appazent to us from the comments made by Growth Management Commission
j, members during our hearing that there mighC be a lack of understanding of the �
a. Aspen Land Use Regulations by members of the Pitkin County Planning and Zoning �
=i Commission. These members did not appear to recognize that these Regulations �
provide specific procedures by which the Aspen Planning and Zoning Commission
�i would review the issues of floor area bonus and parking(among others),and could �
� E� either place conditions on their appcoval or could deny the project in its entirety. If �
'; the County members did understand this aspect of the City's Regulations, then we ,
can only conclude that they did not trust the City members to adequately address
` these issues on their behalf and feft compelled to"veto' the project at this stage.
i
The Appellant remains willing to work with the Aspen Planning and Zoning
i Commission and our neighbors in the context of our IIoor area bonus and parldng -
special review applications, to resgond to the concems they have identi8ed. We ;' -
believe there are options still availabie to be e�cplored that may allow these issues to �
I
be resolved,but for us to do so,we musr first complete the allotment process.

,•_
Additional Requests � -
Since rescoring of the applicarion based on the record is one of the remedies authorized by ?��
the Regulations,we would request that when the staff packet is submitted to the joint City �
Council/Board of County Commissioners, all of the material we placed in the Growth -'��
Management Commission's record be provided. Therefore,we 6ave provided you another �
copy of the handout we submitted to the Commission on the recnrd. We also request that
� you include a copy of our original applicarion, dated November 1, 1996, and our �`
supplemental application]etter, dated November 21, 1996. �.
IFinally,we would request that once you have identified a date that is acceptable to both the -
f City Council and the Board of County Commissioners,you inform us before that date gets
; finalized,so we can make sure that we aze also avalable to attend the meeting.

We thank you for your continuing attenrion to this matter and for your most helpful i�`.

Garton asked Alan Richman for a preseatation. Richman inoroduced George ;
Cariscn. Carisch said he has owned a home here since the mid 70's and purchased
' the Playhouse Theatre in 1984,remodeled it into a Sta�e 3 and sold the operating t�,
� :
, business in 1983 while retaining the properry. Carisch said they were interested in ( ,
the Community. �

Richrnan said this was the only application for this allotmeat and would be happy Y '
����
if the commission accepted the scorins from Community Development staff. In ,�`
particulaz he wanted to Qo o�er the criteria in Revitalizing the Permanent
• Community, and Dave Gibson would provide the desi?n criteria. Richman said
the code states the evaluation of projecu according to r°asonable espectations �
� regardin�what can be espected given their size and scale. He handed out a table
i and esplained they are providing 7�%for employee housing(3 of the 4 units aze .
emplovee units). Richman said each of the units exceeds the size standards for
- Catesory 3,which make them lazger and more desirable to the occupants. He
stated the units aze located in the center of Aspen makin�housing close to work, ''
shopping and public transponation activities. He noted this was the kind of in fill '
proje�t the AACP encouraged beca�se there is no land development involved with
this prcject,just air space. He stated because there is a free market unit and '
employee units with no additional commercial space are bein�developed,they aze ,�
� exceedin�the requirement for mitigating the housing needs. Richman said by j
e:cpanding the e:cisting buildins,the important Iocal secvice is being preserved . . !1
� �
' (Stage 3 Theatres). .
Richman stated there have been many comments from nei�hbors,particularly
relatin�to the parking. He said part of the proposal is to pay cash-in-lieu for 4
spaces and cash-in-lieu for 2 additional spaces that aze required. One of the `�, �
commenu asked how we may better serve the comznunity. Richman stated they ' � ��-`
asked to pay cash-in-lieu$1�,000 per commercial space to remove the commercial ! i
requirement so the housin?units could have spaces provided on site. The r,
application had 3 additional required spaces brin�in�the cash-in-lieu to 6 sgaces ��+

predominant and wanted to incorporate more timber and stone accents. Gibson
� noted the scale was broken down appropriately to decrease the other neighboring ;,.
� buildings. He said most of the other buildinQs had flats roofs,so in response they
�� won't have to exceed the forty feet to accomplish their desiQn�oals by reducing �
the site lines. Gibson e;cplained that the proposed addition was stepped back from !��:

lieht to the street,sidewalk and Hunter Square Garden will not be reduced. He

3im Curtis,Public,speaking for Housing Advisory Group of AACP,stated that '
,•.,•
� .„
conceptually this project promotes and supports what the goup wanted. He said
there were three points: (1.)�places residential units downtown; (2.)developed
2nd and 3rd levels of buildings as housing(both free market and affordable vs. ;,�''�
commercial and office space)which was encouraged and(3.)creates incentives . '
;`-:.
; for private developers to do affordable housing in a mixed use co�guration. � '
� Curtis stated that conceptually,this project does all of Lhose things. He hoped the !„�. -
�
� bulk and mass of the building could be viewed as a win-win situation with �
fle:cibility of the parties. Curtis said one option may be to reduce the size of the �
affordabie units which may address the bulk and mass issues. He noted there
, � � should be�ood sound between the theatre and the residenual units. Curtis
�� � applauded the applicant for coming up with a plan that actually provided parking
spaces because the cash-in-lieu doesn't solve the parking problems.
• Dave:{idder,�306 Concept 600,said he has skied in Aspen since the 1940's and
bought his unit 10 years ago for the view of Aspen Vlountain. He remarked the
' ' value of the units are dependent upon the view of the Mouatain,it may be a selfish
' concern,but it is his concern. �

drawinQs of the building_ He said they were concemed and mindful building this i'
- j � sin�le family home between the Stewart Title Building and office building on the �
� ` comer. He said his building was about 28'high plus an open roof terrace and tried �
: � to be sensitive of the street scape adding interests and off-seu into the building. '

4 , Rothblum stated they knew what the�Sta?e 3 was,but had hoped to speak to the ti
t : owner about mitioatin�the appearance of that stucco wall in the back. He showed
� :
� ; a photo of the wall and the illesal dumpsters. Rothblum said they provided an
` ; ADli,so he is not objecting to the concept but the height is pushins the heiQht
F ' limitations. He said the code required the volume must be considered in a
�
' residential building or part thereof. He said che&ee market unit is 3�00 sf which •
' is prefty large for the buildin�and the project should be scaled back to keep in
' character with the neighborhood. Garton noted that iVlr.Rothblum's letter was '
also part of the record. ,

Bob viiller,Vice President C�ncept 500 Association,stated all the owners ' '

, ' Bab Bailey,Concept 600,was concerned about their view because that was part of '" .
the price of the unit. He stated the poles placed on top of the building do not
represent the blockage of view or the elevator shafts. Gibson said the poles show '�`�
the forward comers with regards to Main Street. He said there is a potential loss ' ���':>,
: of value of their property which would also be a loss of tax dollars. •. '

� adjourned public hearings shail comm:ence only upon the giving of all notices ' �:,�. `�.
1 which wouid have been required for the initial ca11 of the public hearing. He said I
in December there was no quorum,the quota system was not heard therefore
� hearings were not in process but rather an adjoumed meetin�. Edwards said the �:
� meetin�was to be re-noticed and was not done. He said the GMQS notice was to `
� be posted and mailed,it was only published and none of the condo association �
� 'I owners received the notice in the mail. He said no one ever saw a si�n and notice '
`�i is a jurisdictional�pre-requisite ia ordec to proceed with a liearing. He said all of ;
; the quotes from the code are attached as e.�chibiu wittt his letter dated 1/14/97. �.
Edwards said that before GMQS can Qive a quota,the applicant must have met all
' applicable requiremenu of the code. He said"if an e,�cistin�development is
. � expanded additional off-street pazking space shall be provided for that increment
of the eYpansion as if it is a separate development"and there proposal here-to-fore
� the e:cpanded development. Edwards continued that is a requirement of the code '.
to build new parkin�and not complied with the application therefore GVIQS `'
''� cannot be awarded. He quoted from his letter re�azding the mass and volume.

Hoefer quoted the code Chapter 26.36.040 that no meeting at which than less than

criteria as to if you are above or below 12. He said the old scoring did not

RE: Joseph E.Edwards,Jr.letter of February 5,1997
. I �
Dear Council Members and Planning Staff: G-
) C:
This firm represents the applicant as legal counsel regarding the Appeal of the Growth �;
' Management Scoring for the Stage 3 building. You are in receipt of a letter dated February 5, �=
i t
= 1997 from Joseph E.Edwards,Jr.,the attomey representing the Concept 600 Buiiding across the :
I street from Stage 3,alleging certain procedural defects in the rlppeal. �;
� � �.
-- j l�It.Edwards Feb�uary 5 leiter is a legally inaccurate and misleading attempt to limit the
� scope of the City CounciPs inquiry into the decision of the Growth Management Commission,and j
, F to impose the formal and ritualistic rutes that govern the Colorado courts on the City Council.
� ,, For this reason,the applicant requests that the City Council examine all actions(or inaaions)of
the Growth Management Commission in making its decision. �
On the second page of his letter,Mr.Edwards states that the applicant"did not object to
the termination of the hearing after the scoring process or ask for a second hearing." Mr.
Edwards thus implies that the applicant's alleged failure to raise such an issue at the hearing
constituted a waiver of the applicant's right to object to what Mr.Edivards himself ad�niLs was a
failure of the Growth�Ianagement Commission to comply with the requirements ofLand Use ..
j Regulation§26.100.060(c). �' �, `

Even though this is an administradve proceeding and not a avil cnurt case,Mr.Edwards ''-'
i erroneously cites several Colorado appeilate court decisions that purportedly support his E�,�, '
j proposition. None of the cases cited by Mr.Edwards support his praposition that the applicant �;;:.�''
! is barred from challenging,or that the City Council is 6arred from considering,the Growth (: .=:.
� ' �:�=,Y:.'�. .
� Management Cnmmission's faiture to comp[y with proper procedure. Two of the cases cited by ,..
Mr.Edwards deal with situations where a party to an administrative proceeding attended and
! participated in a hearing and later challenged the administrative actions in court ciaiming that the i,'``�` '
� notice to the hearing itself was inadequaze. Zavala v.Demer,759 P.2d 664,668(Colo. 1988) �; �
; (`By fuily participatin¢in the hearing and failing to object to any notice orovisions,the appel3ant
! waived any right to later claim these defeets constituted a violarion...");Hendricksan v.
Depm-mlenr of Reve�rue,716 P.2d 489,�90(Colo. AQp. 1986). Obviously,these cases have no '
� � i application to the present adminisirative appea!process,because these cases dealt with a court `
� challenge aRer the administrative process was compieied,while the administrative proceeding:n £'
� this matter is stiU in progress. tldditionally,these cases aze not germane because the participants '�
� in the cited cases could not have been injured by lack of no�ice when they participated in the
� hearings themselves. Because applicant is not chatlenging the notice of the Growth Management �
Commission hearing,ihese cases are irrelevanL. .
• All of the other cases cited by vtr.Edwards deal with appeals of civil cases from district 1
courts,not with administra[ive proceedings. In these cases,lawyers for the appealing parties
failed to object to matters at trial,and the appellate couRS held that they could not appeal on �
, issues ihat were not raised at trial. Paine, Webber,Jackson&Curtis v Adams,7I8 P.2d�08,
� 513(Colo. 1986)("As a�eneral rule,issues not presented in the trial court are deemed waived
and cannot be raised on appeal");Chrisemsen v.Hoover,643 P.2d 525,531 (Colo. 1982)
- � ("Defenses and objections not presented at trial cannot be raised for the first time on appeal"); .�
Matthews v. Tri-Caunty Water Conservancy Distrrct,613 P2d 889,392(Co(o. 1980). The
decisions reached by the Cotorado Supreme Court in these cases have no relevance to
administrative proceedings,and have even less relevance to a situation where[he administrative -
proceeding is still in progress,as is che present case. i
.�
1
-� In short,Mr.Edwards cites no authoriry for the proposition that the City Counci]cannot �,
iconsider the procedural abnormalities of ihe Growth Management Commission. What Mr. �
I Edwards is trying to do is impose the format niles of a trial court on an administrative process,
which is more informal than a civil trial and which is bound by the Land Use Regulations,not the
Colorado CouR Rules. Indeed§26.100.060(D),which governs thu appeal procedure,has no
requirement that an applicant make fortnal objections on the record at ihe Growth Management
, Cortunission hearing,or that the applicant follow the technical rules which govem a civil court � '
trial. Indeed,the very language of§26.1QQ.060(D)states that the Ciry Council is to consider �;� .
"whether there was a denial of due process or abuse of discretion by the Growch Management =''
Commission in scoring." There is no requirement that the appiicant fo[low a formal and ritualistic ' � --

( process as a lawyer might be required to do in a court of law. rUan Richman,who presented the ��'
applicadon on behalf of the applicant,is not a lawyer and there is no requirement that the ;{,-�, y
aQplicant be represented by a lawyer in the application process. The City Council has unfettered
authoriry to consider all actions of the Growth Management Commission,regardless of the %,~-':=�"
alleged failure of the applicant to make any objections for the record. Mr.Edwards'attempt to ' -�
impose the Colorado Court Rules on these proceedings is without lega!auchoriry,is incorcect,and *'
if followed would unnecessaril restrict and com licate[hese roceedines and mi ht resuit in an �.�^`.,!,'�

1 In short,we urge the City Councii to consider all the actions of ihe Growth Vlanagement !'�
� Commission in this matter and the content of the appeal made by Mr.Richman on behalf of the (,-�
applicant. „ .
Of fu greater importance to the insignificant and incorrect technical issues raised by Vft. y:.'
Edwazds is tht fact that vir.Edwards'letter improperly zrgues the merits oi his client's objection �
to the appiication. The purpose of the appea!process in::.is administrative proceeding is solely to !`1

_ j Management Commission in scoring." �Ir.Edwards'inapprapriate attempt to inject e:ctraneous
issues inLO the appeal process should be disregarded by the Ciry Council,who should only
consider the appeal filed by the applicant and the record of the proceedines of the Growth
Management Commission. Any other action would be in violation of the Land Use Re3ulations
and�eneral principles of administrative law. `N`'i"

; The standard by which you are to review this appeal is in Section 26.100.060D.3.(see Exhibit B). '
� That standard is"The joint Ciry CounciUBoardof Counry Commissio�rs�h,aa1 affirm the scorinQ
j of the GMQS Commission unless it decermines there was a denial of due process or abuse of •
+ discrecion by the GMQS Commission in iu scorine...." The standard does not say that the score
� should be overtumed if the GMQS Commission omia any steps.but onty if"there was a denial
of due pmcess." The words"due ptocess"have an established meaning in law. In Colorado,"In
order co establish a procedural due process violation,a plaintiff must prove that he or she was
r deprived of an opponunity . . .granted at a meaningful time and in a meanin�ful manner for a
; � hearins appropriaze to[he nacure of the case." Sundheim v. BOCC of Dou�las Counrv,904 P.2d
' - 1537, li45 (Colo. App. 199�) (see Exhibit C). The City Attomey advised Council at the last
�� hearins that no coun would find a violacion of"due process"under the facu of this case. The r
irony of this appeal is that the Council criticized the GMQS Commission for no[followine the
'• exact scoring procedure described in the Code, yet the Couacil iuelf then failed�o follow the
• appeal review standard described in the Code. That standard aeain is that the score is to be
� affirmed unless there was a"denial of due process." As defined in Colorado law,there was no
• ` � °denial of due process°in tlus case.
� Colorado law also requires thaz objections not made in the inicial hearino are deemed waived and
will noc be considered for the first time on appeal. Zavela v. Denver,759 P.Zd 664,668(Colo.
. 1988), (see Exhibit D). The appiicant did no[ask for a second scoring round nor object to the
' tercninacion of the hearing after the scoring and,therefore, cannoc now raise that objec[ion. �
j '
i � RECONSIDERATIO�i OF SCORING
: I t
� r
4 � If the Appeal Commiuee fmds(in spice of such review standard)that`due process"was violated,
� � then this Appeal Committee may remand the matter to the GMQS Commission(which we sug�est
s } would be preferable) or this Comminee may iuelf amend [he number of poinu awarded.
- � ; However,.should[his Committee iuelf undertake scorin„ then please consider,the followine
j ! commencs. V
E �
� i The record illustraces rhat the concem expressed by the majoriry of the GMQS Commission and
j the bulk uf public commen[s related to the excessive scale,massin�,the blocklike architecture,
' � lacl:of fenestra�ion and lack of open space of the proposed buildinQ as compared co the other ,
ibuildings in rhe block. As mencioned in the staff memo,this buildine alread}•occupies a greater
� volume than a building.with a 1.�:1 FAR ratio with normal ceiline heishrs(which would be the
� ma�iimum al3owed variance under a special review). Specifically,ihis is a 10.000 square foot lot .
and,alrhou�h the buildins now has only one floor occupyinQ 5,�00 square feet,t►evercheless,che
i::- .
building(because it is a thea�er)currently is of a nvo-scory heieh[(and[herefore a volume)that ,�-- :
� would normally be occupied by a two-story buildine with a floor area of 17,000 square feet. "

� Therefore,the massing,scale and the visual impacu of the existing buildine already exceed what ;;s:_,:•�:,;
! could be allowed for a building(with normal ceiling heighu),even under special review. As the '='=�''!.
�' record shows, this applicadon seeks to add addidonal volume and mass by adding a third and ' f' .��
fourth floor,resulting in a building having the volume,mass and bulk of a building(with normal `�'�r� � :
ceilin� heights)with a floor area rauo of 2.35:1 or 23,500 square feet. The resulting scorin� �•�:`'`:
shows tha�the Commission members aereed that the building was not compa[ibie with existing �'���" �
buildings in the viciniry in terms of s�ale,massing,fenestration and open space and rherefore did
not compiy with the standard of Section 26.100.080C.4.c. �.�
� �7
� For the foregoing reasons, the Concept 600 Condominium Association requesu that the joint .� :
