There also were story poles up to show the tallest points of each unit.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">At the Aug. 19 regular meeting, several locals living in the Rodeo Place neighborhood, adjacent to the proposed Coffey Place housing, expressed concerns to council about how the new units would impact what they see as an already tightly packed neighborhood.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Council members expressed density concerns as well, along with worries related to land use and ownership, <a id=\"N0x1833330N0x1a79f70:N0x1833330N0x1855f48\" href=\"https:\/\/www.aspentimes.com\/news\/snowmass-council-plans-housing-site-visit\/\">leading them to decide on a Coffey Place site visit<\/a> to see exactly where the new homes would sit within the existing Stallion Circle neighborhood.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">But before Betsy Crum, town housing director; Julie Ann Woods, town-planning director; and a handful of architects led council and the public on the walking tour, town officials made clear this was only a site visit \u2014 meaning no side conversations between council and the public, or even between council members, were allowed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Council was told to just use \u201csight\u201d for the \u201csite\u201d tour and could ask questions if needed, but were to save all discussion for the next regular Monday meeting.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">For roughly an hour, council and locals surveyed each of the proposed Coffey Place sites. Attendees used a bike path to get to the units, which are planned in areas where brushy overgrowth and tall grasses grow now.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Crum, Woods and the architects aimed to help site visitors visualize where the Coffey units would be beyond the stakes and story poles by handing out a thick packet of detailed sketches of each unit in the three proposed development areas.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">The first is along a hillside near the entrance of the Rodeo Place subdivision where an open space area is now, the second adjacent to both the Town Park tennis courts and the Brush Creek wetland area, and the third on the northeast portion of the former Seven Star land parcel, also adjacent to a hillside and the Brush Creek wetland.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Units are expected to cost between roughly $550,000 and $866,000, and to include more parking and storage space than the existing Rodeo Place homes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">After council and locals were led through each development area, the site tour concluded. Council members commended Crum, Woods and the architects for setting up Coffey Place visuals.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Locals were encouraged to bring their observations, questions and concerns to the next regular board meeting Sept. 3, where council will continue discussing the proposed Coffey Place housing project.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Town officials said the stakes and story poles for each planned Coffey Place unit will remain up for public viewing until the Sept. 3 meeting.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aspentimes.com\/snowmass\/snowmass-town-council-visits-coffey-development-space\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: The Aspen Times<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Roughly 30 locals and elected officials walked along a bike path Aug. 26 to see the proposed Coffey Place units off of Stallion Circle.
