SUZANNE WOLFF
Commissioner Haffield referred to a letter from Joslyn B. Wood, Marta
Steinmetz's legal counsel. He said he would like an opinion from the county
attorney as to whether or not the Board should proceed with the hearing at this
juncture.
Chris Seldin, Assistant County Attorney, commented that as he understands it
the issue that has been raised regards a title quiet action that is pending in
district court and the letter, which has been written on behalf of Ms. Steinmetz,
claims that the Board should not act because there is an issue in the quiet title
action regarding whether or not some of the land within the building envelope
would be encumbered by an easement held in favor of Ms. Steinmetz. He said
from the Board's perspective, he thinks that is an issue between private parties to
resolve and until it is resolved, the applicant proceeds at his or her peril. And if
he or she constructs improvements within the building envelope that later proves
to be encumbered by an easement, then the holder of that easement would have
remedies through the court. He said he does not think that is an issue that the
Board needs to address or have jurisdiction to address, but rather, something the
parties will work out between themselves in court
BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS 5
REGULAR MEETING JULY '14, 2004
Suzanne Wolff gave a presentation on this matter as summarized in her
memorandum contained in the BOCC packet for this meeting.
Glenn Horn, representing the applicant, proceeded to review the changes, which
have occurred since the last meeting as follows:
· All improvements have been moved as far down stream as possible from
the neighboring property so there is a separation and distance between
the improvements on the neighbor's property and this property.
· The fire access has been moved to the down-stream (east side) end of
the property.
· They have maintained the present access to the Steinmetz property
exactly in place
· An access loop has been designed for fire protection, which will be
located next to a pond, which will enhance fire protection in the entire
neighborhood
A plan has been implemented to come in, this fall, and relocate as many
mature trees as possible within the riparian area
· The wetlands area will remain completely untouched and undisturbed.
· ^ riparian/vegetation enhancement plan will be submitted at the time of
building permit to insure that as many trees, as possible, will be saved
and mitigation for the loss of trees.
Mr. Horn said overall, they feel that this plan is the best plan for this site and the
development plan can take place regardless of what happens with any disputes
between the neighbors, and it has been designed in that manner. He said they
have reviewed all of the conditions in the resolution and they concur and accept
those conditions. He noted that the well on this property may be located within
the access envelope or the landscape envelope. He explained that the highest
point on the property is probably in the center of the access envelope and they
hope to locate the well there because it will be free and clear of any intrusion. He
said the preference would be to place the well in the building envelope, but he
would like the flexibility to be able to put the well in any of the envelopes.
Tom Smith, representing the Conundrum Retreats, LLC, commented that the
issues in pending litigation does not preclude the Board from acting on this
application. He said the Board should not be attempting to resolve those issues
here by basing its decision or imposing conditions that are going to be resolved
in that litigation. And he said the important thing to remember is that appropriate
changes have been made to make sure that whatever the outcome is, Marta's
property rights will not be interfered with by approval of this application.
Marta Steinmetz commented that she does not agree with the decision to not
table this application until the judge has a chance to have his say. She explained
that the land in dispute is along the edge of the driveway, which is contained in
the building envelope and this would eliminate all her snow storage and all her
BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS 6
REGULAR MEETING JULY 14, 2004
parking. She explained that her property is up for sale and it cannot be sold
until the ownership issue is resolved.
Mr. Smith explained that the dispute is not ownership of the property, but rather,
the scope and extent of the easement. He explained that an easement does not
contradict fee title to the underlying land. He said if the extent of the easement is
greater than they think it is, it still is not going to change ownership.
Ms. Steinmetz proceeded to read into the record her comments associated with
her issues regarding the proposal. A copy of her written comments are attached
to the end of the packet, for this meeting, under additional exhibits.
Tom Smith said with respect to Section One of Ms. Steinmetz's letter, he thinks
they have already addressed the relationship between the litigation and this
approval. With respect to Section Two, they have addressed questions about the
building envelope in relation to Marta's easements. And the same is true with
respect to Marta's efforts to interject water rights issues into this application; they
will be resolved by the water courts. He said there is nothing that the Board can
or will do that will impact or preclude a property adjudication of Marta's interest in
those cases. With respect to the name change, the application should be reflect
that now the applicant is now Conundrum Retreats LLC. and he thinks that has
been pretty obvious from communication that has been received from Glenn
Horn. With respect to the issues in Section Three, he said most of these issues
are related to wildlife and wildfire mitigation requirements. He said staff has
imposed conditions, which are the standard requirements for mitigating those
impacts, and they don't think that they should be subject to more restrictive
impacts than other property owners in similar circumstances.
Glenn Horn noted that in the case of the wildfire hazard and removal of
vegetation, the wildfire mitigation will take precedent over their concern for saving
the riparian vegetation. So first, they will look at the fire mitigation, then they will
look at riparian enhancement and at saving as much riparian vegetation as
possible.
Suzanne Wolff said with respect to the issues about setbacks from the road or
setbacks from the adjacent property, there is no requirement in the code about a
setback from a driveway so the building envelope right next to the driveway is
consistent with the code. She said there is a 30 foot rear side-yard setback,
which is the setback adjacent to Marta's property and the 30 foot setback is
shown to the building envelope line so no buildings would occur within that
setback. With regard to the wildlife issues there is no habitat on this property that
would require a dog prohibition. With respect to the issue about all development
within the envelope there has been some disturbance out of the property in the
past when the berms were constructed and the parking area was created.
Therefore, an envelope should include any disturbed areas on the property.
BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS 7
REGULAR MEETING JULY t4, 2004
Ms. Steinmetz said that wildlife is consistently crossing the driveway to get to
water.
Chris Seldon noted that with regard to the quiet title action, that the county
attorney's office did receive a letter from Joselyn Wood, who is Ms. Stenmeitz's
attorney, dated July 13, 2004 and Joselyn passed along to them the pleadings
from the quiet title action. And the answer, which Marta filed, confirms that the
issues, in that case, deal with easements and not to a conflict over the fee title to
the property that is of issue.
Commissioner Roy moved to find a takings and remediating the takings for
the Conundrum Retreats, LLC 1041 hazard review and conceptual approval
with two changes to the resolutions as follows:
Item $ (f) change the words "swimming pool" to "pond"
Add language to Item 12, which says that the applicant shall adhere
to all material representations made in this application, site visit and
public meetings.
Commissioner Clapper seconded the motion.
Suzanne Wolff suggested an amendment that the two wells could be placed
in the dedicated access or landscape envelopes
Commissioner Roy accepted this amendment to her motion.
Commissioner Clapper accepted this amendment to her second.
Commissioner Hatfield noted that Marta's major objection is loss of
parking and berms as well as snow removal storage, and therefore, the
applicants will be proceeding at their own risk.
Tom Smith said they are well aware of that concern and will take it into
account in any building plans submitted.
Chairperson Farris called the question. Motion passed with four yea votes.
Commissioner Ireland not present.

BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS 8
REGULAR MEETING JULY 14, 2004
Lance Clarke gave a presentation on this item as summarized in his
memorandum contained in the BOCC packet for this meeting.
Commissioner Hatfield suggested that conditions No's six and 18 be combined.
Glenn Horn, representing the applicant concurred with Commissioner Haffield
that Conditions No's six and 18 should be combined when the application comes
back for second reading.
Commissioner Hatfield noted that because the proposal calls for the homes to be
built below the existing ditch, so people need to be aware that the ditch water
needs to be mitigated.
Chairperson Farris opened the hearing to public comment.
Tom Ward, an adjacent homeowner, said that in a period of 22 years he has not
seen even a drop of water overflow from the ditch even when it is really full. He
recommended approval of the application.
There being no further comment, Chairperson Farris entertained a motion on the
Nelson application.
Commissioner Hatfield moved approval of first reading of the Resolution
granting the Nelson 0141 Hazard Review, Conceptual Submission,
Easement Vacation and Minor Plat Amendment approval for Lots 4 and $ of

Commissioner Hatfield requested that the language stating that the

RESOLUTION GRANTING APPROVAL OF THE 2004 ASPEN MOUNTAIN
SKI AREA MASTER PLAN AMENDMENT - SUNDECK NIGHT USE - MOTION
TO APPROVE - STAFF PLANNER: SUZANNE WOLFF
Suzanne Wolff gave a presentation on this matter as summarized in her
memorandum contained in the BOCC packet for this meeting.
A discussion ensued with respect to the Ski Company's request to add additional
public event nights.
Bill Kane, representing the Aspen Skiing Company, said there is a tremendous
demand, from group oriented businesses, for use of the facility and their
business, in general, is now sustained by group related events. He said this is
what prompted the request to try and expand the public nights. He said they fully
concur with the staff's review and the only issue they are apart on is the counting
of the public night, which has turned out to be more in the nature of a break even
event that is supported by the community as popular, especially the full moon
nights. He said they would like to request an additional 14 public event nights in
the wintertime.
Eric Calderon, also representing the Aspen Skiing Company, said they have
turned away approximately $620,000 in business that they could have booked
this winter. He said the restrictions are really hurting them economically, which is
the bottom line. Additionally, he said their neighbors, who were originally their
opponents, fully endorse more use of the gondola beyond the original
restrictions.
Commissioner Hat-field said he volunteered at an Aspen Valley Ski Club benefit
at the Sundeck last winter. He said there had to be more than 300 people
present because it was so crowded you couldn't move. He said he has a
concern of exceeding the capacity of the facility. Additionally, he said this seems
to him, like a dismantling of the master plan and maybe it is time to revisit the
entire master plan.
Commissioner Roy commented that nighttime events bring second homeowners
and primary residents out of their houses and into town where they ultimately
spend money and generate additional public sales tax revenues.
BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS 10
REGULAR MEETING JULY 14, 2004
Commissioner Roy moved to amend the master plan to allow use of the
Sundeck and gondola up to fourteen additional nights in the winter until
11:00 PM for public events. To allow eight nights for events that benefit
non-profit agencies that operate in the Roaring Fork Valley and/or
community events. Additionally to allow use, until 1:00 AM, for 12 of the
permitted 50 events. Commissioner Clapper seconded the motion.
Commissioner Clapper amended the motion to say that the with respect to
the 50 events the 20~30 split can be utilized either during the winter or
summer. Commissioner Roy accepted this to her motion.
It was the consensus of Commission members that any further amendments to
the master plan will be conducted in the course of revisiting the entire master
plan.
Chairperson Farris opened the hearing to public comment.
An adjoining neighbor voiced his approval of the Ski Company's request.
Commissioner Hatfield stated that he will not support the motion because he
thinks it is an incremental dismantling of the master plan, He said he believes we
did say, last year that we don't want to see another amendment and here we are
for another amendment. He said there are too many unknowns and he is
amazed that this Board decided to move forward with four times the
recommendation of staff.
Commissioner Clapper commented that she thinks this is a great community
asset and at a time of economic strife, this is an amenity we need to utilize. She
said we need to be able to utilize the facilities we have in place rather than build
any more.
Commissioner Roy said she is willing to go forward with this approval because
she thinks it is consistent with the master plan for the Ski Company to be able to
come in and ask for an amendment.
There being no further public comment, Chairperson Farris closed the
public hearing and called the question. Motion passed with three yea votes
and one nay vote by Commissioner Hatfield. Commissioner Ireland not
present.
