PERSON: BARB D'AUTRECHY~ OPEN SPACE AND TRAILS DEPARTMENT

Trails due to three reasons:

2. Due to the cost overruns. And he wants to send a message to staff, both
City and County that we need to get closer to our bids.
3. The fact that we have decided, through this agreement that we will
maintain, pave, as well as deal with the issue of structural rehabilitation
down the road, etc.

disagree with a trail issue in our county.

BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS 5
REGULAR MEETING JUNE 23, 2004
Suzanne Wolff gave a presentation on this item as summarized in her
memorandum to the Board contained in the BOCC packet for this meeting, which
consists of the following approvals:
· Special Review for an indoor research facility
· Code Amendment to add "research facilities, indoor" as a special review
use in the AFR-10 zone district
· GMQS Exemption for an essential community facility
· 1041 Hazard Review and Conceptual Submission to establish a building
envelope
· Caretaker Dwelling Unit
Ms. Wolff noted that Tom Todd, representing an adjoining neighbor, requested
that an additional parking space be dedicated for the caretaker unit. Therefore,
Condition 1-c has been amended to include one additional dedicated parking
space for the caretaker unit, for a total of four spaces.
Commissioner Roy referred to Condition No. 13 1 D, which states the AFBL shall
be limited to a maximum of two employees. She requested that language be
added, which says "limited to a maximum of two employees not including the
three researchers" in case the researchers are paid an allowance of $100 a
month or something like that, which might have the potential of classifying them
as an employee.
Mr. Lewis said he thinks that is a very important issue because many
researchers have their own grants and a percentage of the money will go to the
lab, but others will not and they will have to support those researchers.
It was agreed that this language would be clarified.
Commissioner Farris referred to Condition No. 1 C which states that additional
parking shall be added, if determined necessary, during the annual review. She
said she does not want to allow extra parking that if there is a need for additional
parking, they will need to provide it somewhere else.
Commissioner Roy suggested that the language be amended to state if there is a
shortage of parking determined in the annual review, the plan will be amended to
address that.
Mr. Lewis said he doesn't want any extra cars either and he will do everything he
can to live with the conditions. And when the annual review comes it could be
talked about, if it's an issue.
Commissioner Farris said she would like to point out that she thinks staff worked
diligently both with the P&Z and with the neighbors to come up with restrictions
21, 22, and 23.
BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS 6
REGULAR MEETING JUNE 23, 2004
Commissioner Hatfield referred to Condition No. 5 G, which states that the three
additional bedrooms will only be occupied by employees of AFBL or visiting
researchers from May 1 to November 1 .... He asked Mr. Lewis if he foresees
any need to do winter research?
Mr. Lewis responded that they have just learned that one of the scientists live in
New Zealand and the other one south of the equator, whose seasons are
reversed from our seasons. Therefore, they would be free to come to Aspen
during the winter. He requested that they be permitted to occasionally have one
or two scientists, during the winter time, to study the snowshoe hare, which is a
primary food source for the Lynx, which are being introduced, and the migratory
habits of deer and elk.
Commissioner Hatfield said he is not supportive of limiting this from May 1 to
November 1. He thinks the applicant should have the ability to manage this for
the purpose so intended because he thinks science is year-round and he would
like to take advantage of this proposal. He suggested that the language be
changed to state that the bedrooms will be only occupied by ^FBL or visiting
researchers and then end the sentence.
Commissioner Roy suggested that Condition G be deleted because what Bob is
requesting is that researchers be allowed to stay in his home. She explained that
what this deed restriction is saying is that he cannot have an old friend come and
stay in his extra bedroom. She suggested that the deed restriction state that the
unit cannot be "rented".
Ms. Wolff clarified that the purpose of the condition is to insure that this building
will only be used by these researchers because otherwise, it starts to look like a
short term lodging facility and that is where staff is trying to draw the line.
It was the consensus of other commission members that this does not restrict
what he can do in his house, but rather restricting the three bedrooms in the
research facility, and that the deed restriction language should remain as written.
Commissioner Clapper expressed a concern with respect to changing the
operation to a year round operation. She said this is a significant change to this
application; there was a great deal of public comment that went into it, and a
great deal of time was spent with the Planning and Zoning Commission.
Additionally, there was a request not to have to submit a PM-10 plan due to the
fact that there was not a proposal for winter operations. She said not that she
would not support the change if it would have been part of the application, but
she is concerned that we are significantly deviating from the application.
Mr. Lewis said there was not a lot of public comment, but rather, there were only
two people who commented on the application during the P&Z process, one of
BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS 7
REGULAR MEETING JUNE 23, 2004
which does not even live in the area. He said however, they have 11 people,
living in the Caucus, that support the lab. So there are far more people who want
the lab there than don't.
A discussion ensued with respect to the PM-10 issue. It was agreed that the
applicant should work with the Environmental Health Department to come up with
a PM-10 report.
Commissioner Hatfield moved that Condition No. G be amended to read:
the deed restrictions shall ensure that the three additional bedrooms will
only be occupied by AFBL or visiting researchers and ending the sentence
at this point. Commissioner Roy seconded the motion.
Tom Todd, representing Ed Bass, said they are opposed to changing the date
from May 1 to November 1. He said the use of the additional wing of the
structure was specifically agreed and represented at the P&Z hearings that it
would only be used from May to November and this does change things. He
referred to a letter from Glenn Horn to Suzanne Wolff, dated May 12th that
specifically represents that this is only going to be used from May 1 to November
Ist. He said the neighbors concerns are that historically, Bob has lent the
bedrooms out to people over the wintertime and typically, there would be two,
three or more cars parked on the highway right-of-way. So there was quite a bit
of discussion about getting the cars off the road and on-site (dedicating these
three parking spots for use of the facility). And the thinking was if this was turned
into a bed and breakfast or lodging facility, during the wintertime, there could be
more cars either on site or along the highway right-of-way. And that is when
there were specific representations that this was just going to be a facility for
summertime research.
Mr. Lewis said if there are organisms that need to be studied in the winter,
because of their habits, they would be lucky to find such a person. He said it's
not something that is going to happen year after year after year.
Fadia Middlebrook said they would be asking their guests, who come in the
winter, not to bring their cars because they will be transporting them to the
facility.
Commissioner Clapper said her concern is that the application is very clear about
the limited amount of use, and she is concerned to move forward with amending
the application prior to it being remanded back to the P&Z.
Commissioner HatT'ieid said he knows the P&Z meets on July 6th and we could
ask them for a quick take on that one single issue about dates and then this
issue could be discussed further at second reading.
BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS 8
REGULAR MEETING JUNE 23, 2004
After a discussion Commissioner Hatfleld moved to convene into an
executive session at 3:45 PM, under C.R.S. 24-04-406 (b), to get advice
from the county attorney on this issue. Commissioner Roy seconded the
motion.
Chairperson Farris reconvened the regular meeting at 4:00 PM.
Commissioner Hatfield announced that he would be withdrawing his
motion amending Condition No. 5 G, but have it read that at anytime, the
applicant can request an amendment for the winter use. He explained that
at this time, we cannot move forward without remanding it back to P&Z,
which he gathers would not be that timely. Commissioner Roy withdrew
her second.
Commissioner Hatfield moved approval of the resolution. Commissioner
Roy seconded the motion with an amendment to Condition No. 13 I D to be
exclusive of the three researchers in calculating the number of FTE's.
Commissioner Hatfield amended his motion to include Commissioner
Roy's motion. Motion passed with four yea votes. Commissioner Ireland
not present.
Commissioner Clapper commented that since the application is not being
changed, she would not require a PM-10 report at this time.
Commissioner Hatfield moved approval of first reading of the Ordinance
and set for second reading on July 14, 2004. Commissioner Roy seconded
the motion. Motion passed with four yea votes. Commissioner Ireland not
present.

memorandum contained in the BOCC packet for this meeting.
Marcella Larsen, applicant, made her presentation as addressed in her letter
contained in the BOCC packet for this meeting.
Chairperson Farris opened the hearing to public comment. There being no
comment, she closed the public comment portion of the hearing and brought the
matter back to the Board.
BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS 9
REGULAR MEETING JUNE 23, 2004
Chairperson Farris commented that in any case, whether the unit is 500, 700 or
1,000 square feet, she thinks we need to consider neighborhood covenants and
she wants to respect these local covenants.
A short discussion ensued with staff regarding clarifications to the proposed
legislation.
Commissioner Clapper suggested that all applications, for the additional square
footage, be by an administrative review process with an appeal process to the
BOCC.
Commissioner Clapper moved approval of the Ordinance with an addition
that if anybody wants to apply for an additional 300 square feet, up to 1,000
square feet, it goes through an administrative special review, whether it is
an attached or detached unit.
Commissioner Hatfield suggested an amendment to Condition No. C.1. a.,
which adds the R-15A zone district to the language.
After a short discussion it was agreed that the existing language in the code,
should be changed from 700 square feet to 1,000 square feet.
Commissioner Roy said with respect to local covenants, there are more and
more neighborhoods that are becoming opposed to long term rentals. She said
she is not sure if we want to build in the concept of writing covenants against a
county policy.
Commissioner Clapper restated her motion to approve the Ordinance with
the addition of the R-tSA zone district to Condition No. C 1 a.
Commissioner Hatfield seconded the motion. Motion passed unanimously.
Chairperson Farris closed the Land Use Public Hearings portion of the agenda.

AMENDED - STAFF PLANNING TECHNICIAN: ROSEANNE SULLIVAN
Roseanne Sullivan gave a presentation on this item as summarized in her
memorandum to the Board contained in the BOCC packet for this meeting. She
explained that staff would like to add an additional condition related to valet
parking, which states "all parking at the events shall be (i) on site, (ii) on the
property of homeowners in proximity to the event who have authorized the use of
BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS 10 REGULAR MEETING JUNE 23, 2004
their property for such purpose, or (iii) on one side of the street, on the shoulder
of the road (on Willoughby Way and nearby streets). Applicant shall be required
to obtain a Right of Way Work Permit from Pitkin County prior to the first event in
order to utilize street parking.
Ms. Sullivan said staff recommends that the special event permit be approved,
for these two events, after which the tent will be taken down for the summer.
Commissioner Haffield asked for an explanation of how the tents got put up
without a permit.
Gideon Kaufman, representing Gloria Scharlin, owner of the property where the
events are going to be held, presented pictures of the tent, which is installed over
an existing patio. He explained that two years ago Howard Scharlin passed
away and the family wasn't aware of the rules and since then they have found
out that they need to go through a special review. He also said that it costs
$2500, which comes out of the non for profit expenses and it seems to him that
there should be a simpler way of possibly going through an administrative review
and not having to spend that kind of money.
Commissioner Hatfield moved approval of the special event permit with the
amendment suggested by staff. Commissioner Roy seconded the motion.
Motion passed unanimously.
WARREN 1041 HAZARD REVIEW AND RIDGELINE REVIEW- TAKINGS

STAFF PLANNER: SUZANNE WOLFF
Suzanne Wolff said she didn't have any further information to add to her
memorandum on this matter, which is contained in the BOCC packet for this
meeting.
Commissioner Hatfield moved to find that a taking has occurred on the
Warren property with direction to staff to prepare a resolution of
remediation to be brought back to the Board. Commissioner Roy
seconded the motion. Motion passed with four yea votes. Commissioner
Ireland not present.

LANCE CLARKE
Herb Klein said they have an agreement with Tim Semaru, which does involve
granting a 30 foot easement along the ditch, regardless of whether or not they
BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS '11
REGULAR MEETING JUNE 23, 2004
move it. He said they can implement the agreement if the Board would approve
to two changes in their building envelopes. He and Mr. Collins proceeded to
review a drawing reflecting the proposed changes.
Lance Clarke recommended an amendment to Condition No. 6 C. regarding the
question of floor area to eliminate the language "shelter of livestock".
Additionally, he said Herb Klein suggested some additional language regarding
the agricultural assessment and he would like the county attorney to have an
opportunity to respond to this language. And finally, the applicant asked for a
five year extension of vested rights and that issue has not been resolved.
Commissioner Hatfleld asked Mr. Collins to explain what the benefit would be to
the public to extend the vested rights.
Mr. Collins responded that the rights are not going to be given up, so something
will be built if the rights are threatened. Five years vesting would allow the
development to take place at a slower pace.
John Ely suggested that the application be approved subject to the AG language
being approved by the County Attorney.
Commissioner Clapper moved approval of the Resolution, as amended,
with a five year vesting with the language associated with the agricultural
operation contingent upon the county attorney's approval and amending
Lot 2 to 1.5 acres for the building envelope and to remove the amount of
the disturbance area from Lot 1. Commissioner Roy seconded the motion.
Motion passed with four yea votes. Commissioner Ireland not present.
ADJOURNMENT: Commissioner Hatfleld moved to adjourn the meeting at
5:10 PM. Commissioner Roy seconded the motion. Motion passed
unanimously.
