SUMMARY:
The Applicant is requesting
approvals for 8040 Greenline
review and for Variances from two
Residential Design Standards
Photo: Parcel 5, Top of Mill Subdivision/PUD.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Planning and Zoning
Commission approve the requests for 8040 Greenline
Review and for Variances from the Residential Design
Standards.
SUMMARY:
Ian and Isabelle Loring, represented by Vann Associates, LLC., have applied fora 8040
Greenline Review, and have also applied for variances from the Residential Design
Standards for the Building Orientation requirement, and the Build-to lines requirement to
construct a new single family home and accessory dwelling unit on Parcel 5 of the Top of
Mill Subdivision, commonly known as 934 South Mill Street. The proposed application is
attached as Exhibit "C".
REVIEW PROCEDURE:
The Planning and Zoning Commission may approve, approve with conditions, or deny an
8040 Greenline Review. Ordinance No. 7, Series 2002, approved the Top of Mill
Subdivision and set forth that all of the single-family residences to be constructed within
the subdivision shall be required to obtain 8040 Greenline Review approval prior to
applying for a building permit. The above referenced ordinance granted approval of the
subdivision's compliance with nine of the eleven 8040 Greenline requirements (standards
1, 2, 4-6, 8-11). The remaining two requirements, standards 3 and 7, must be approved
by the Planning and Zoning Commission for compliance for each individual residence
design.
In addition, The Planning and Zoning Commission may approve, approve with conditions, or
deny any variance requests from the Residential Design Standards pursuant to Land Use
Code Section 26.410.020(D), Variances.
STAFF COMMENTS:
The parcel of land that is subject to this application is an abnormal shaped lot located at the
top of Mill Street. At the top of the street, it becomes a curvilinear private street serving as a
turn-around loop. The street facing lot line is comprised of a curve of approximately thirty
(30) feet and a straight line of twenty-two (22) feet to the northwest corner. As a result the
street-facing building envelope line is approximately forty (40) feet wide. The northeast
corner of the parcel is pinched to allow for an access easement for Parcel 4. The lot is
10,806 square feet.
SO4O GREENLINE:
The property, as set forth Ordinance No. 7, Series 2002, must obtain 8040 Greenline
Review approval prior to applying for a building permit. The ordinance granted approval
of the subdivision's compliance with nine of the eleven 8040 Greenline requirements.
The remaining two requirements - 3: Air Quality Impacts; and 7: Mountain Character -
must be approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission for compliance.
Air Ouality Impacts
The purpose of the air quality requirement is to ensure that the proposed development
does not have significant adverse effect on the air quality in the city. The driveway will be
poured in place, minimizing the air quality impacts. Additionally, the utility
infrastructure is currently in place and will not be altered or added to by this project. The
project will be subject to a construction management plan that will govern pm10
mitigation, off-site mud transport, etc.
Mountain Character
The purpose of the mountain character requirement is to ensure that the building height
and bulk will be minimized and the structure will be designed to blend into the open
character of the mountain. The allowable square footage and height were approved as part
of the original Top of Mill PUD to ensure all structures would fit with the mountain
character. The provided square footage is equal to the allowable level and the height is
below the allowable level. The roof forms are pitched and blend into the mountain
2
backdrop. Staff believes the applicant satisfies the review standards for these
requirements.
RESIDENTIAL DESIGN STANDARDS:
Buildine Orientation
On curvilinear streets the building orientation Residential Design Standard requires the front
fapade be parallel to the tangent of the midpoint of the arc of the street. (L.U.C. Section
26.410.040(A)) Staff believes that because of the lots abnormal shape it is difficult to meet
the requirement. Staff believes that the proposed variance satisfies the review standards for
granting a variance from the Residential Design Standards because strict adherence to this
standard would likely create constraints that would trigger other deviations from the
Residential Design Standards. Also, the distance from the street to the buildable site is
significant in length so that the purpose of this particular review standard becomes almost
inapplicable. The front of the house does generally face the driveway, leading to the street.
Staff recommends approval of the variance from the building orientation standard.
Build-to lines
Land Use Code Section 26.410.040 (A.2) requires parcels less than 15,000 square feet have
at least 60% of the front fagade must be within five (5) feet of the minimum front yard
setback line. Due to the unique shape of the lot, it does not lend itself to a traditional front
yard setback. While the rear lot line is a straight 92 feet, the front line is approximately 40
feet, which zigzags across the front to connect side lot lines. The structure will be built
within five (5) feet of the side and rear yard setbacks. Staff finds that the proposed variance
satisfies the review standards for granting a variance from the Residential Design Standards
because the lot's shape creates difficulty in strict adherence to this standard. The structure
will be built within five (5) feet of the side and rear yard setbacks. Staff finds that the
proposed variance satisfies the review standards for granting a variance from the residential
design standards because the lot shape prohibits strict adherence to this standard.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff finds that this application meets the applicable review standards for allowing
development above the 8040 Greenline and that recommends the Planning and Zoning
Commission approve the request. Additionally, staff believes this application meets the
applicable review standards for granting a variance from the building orientation, build-to
lines Residential Design Standards and recommends the Planning and Zoning
Commission approve the variance request.
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
"I move to approve Resolution No. 18, Series of 2008, approving an "8040 Greenline
Review," and approving variances to the Residential Design Standards for building
orientation, and build-to lines.

REVIEW CRITERIA a4[ STAFF FINDINGS
The Planning and Zoning Commission may grant variances from the Residential Design
Standards if the proposed application meets the following:
a) Provides an appropriate design or pattern of development considering the
context in which the deve/opment is proposed and purpose of the particular
standard In evaluating the context as it is used in the criteria, the reviewing
board may consider the relationship of the proposed development with
adjacent structures, the immediate neighborhood setting, or a broader vicinity
as the board feels is necessary to determine if the exception is warranted; or,
b) Be clearly necessary for reasons of fairness related to unusual site-specific
constraints.
The following are Staffs findings in regards to the variances being requested by the
Applicant.
Variance Requested
Building orientation. (26.410.040 A1)
The front facades of all principal structures shall
be parallel to the street. On corner lots, both
street facing facades must be parallel to the
intersecting streets. On curvilinear streets, the
front facade of all structures shall be parallel to
the tangent of the midpoint of the arc of the street.

a) Provides an appropriate design or
pattern of development considering the context in which the development is
proposed and purpose of the particular standard. In evaluating the context
as it is used in the criteria, the reviewing board may consider the
relationship of the proposed development with adjacent structures, the
immediate neighborhood setting, or a broader vicinity as the board feels is
necessary to determine if the exception is warranted; or,
Staff Findin¢:
On curvilinear streets the building orientation residential design standard requires the front
facade be parallel to the tangent of the midpoint of the arc of the street (L.U.C. Section
26.410.040(A)). Staff believes that because of the abnormal shape of the lot, it is difficult to
meet the requirement. Staff believes that the proposed variance satisfies the review standards
for granting a variance from the residential design standards because strict adherence to this
standard would likely create constraints that would trigger other deviations from the
residential design standards. Also, the distance from the street to the parallel orientation
location site is minimal in length that the purpose of this particular review standard becomes
almost inapplicable. The front of the house does generally face the driveway, leading to the
street. Staff finds this criterion to be met.
4
b) Be clearly necessary for reasons of fairness related to unusual site-specifu
constraints.
Staff Finding:
Staff agrees with the application that the lot is unusually shaped and that requiring a parallel
street facing fapade is problematic given the site's constraints. Staff finds this criterion to be
met.
Variance Requested
Build-to lines. (26.410.040 A2)
On parcels or lots of less than 15,000 square,feet,
at least 60% of the front fafade shall be within 5
feet of the minimum,front yard setback line.

development is proposed and purpose of the particular standard In
evaluating the context as it is used in the criteria, the reviewing board may
consider the relationship of the proposed development with adjacent
structures, the immediate neighborhood setting, or a broader vicinity as
the board feels is necessary to determine if the exception is warranted; or,
Staff Finding:
Land Use Code Section 26.410.040 (A2) requires parcels less than 15,000 square feet have at
least 60% of the front fagade must be within five (5) feet of the minimum front yard setback
line. Due to the unique shape of the lot, it does not lend itself to a traditional front yard
setback. While the rear lot line is a straight 92 feet, the front line is approximately 40 feet,
which zigzags across the front to connect side lot lines. The structure will be built within
five (5) feet of the side and rear yard setbacks. Staff finds that the proposed variance satisfies
the review standards for granting a variance from the residential design standards because the
lot's shape creates difficulty in strict adherence to this standard. Staff believes that the
proposed build-line respects and fits into the context of the neighborhood setting. Staff
finds this criterion to be met.
b) Be clearly necessary for reasons of fairness related to unusual site-specifu
constraints.
Staff Finding:
The front entry faces the street, and the proposed front fagade is within 5 feet of the side
and rear yard setbacks. Staff agrees with the application in that the lot is unusually shaped
and that requiring the front fagade be within 5 feet of the traditional front yard setback is
problematic given the site's constraints. Staff finds this criterion to be met.
8040 GREENLINE REVIEW:
EXHIBIT B
According to Section 26.435.030 of the Land Use Code, no development shall be permitted
at, above, or one hundred fifty feet below the 8040 Greenline unless the Planning and Zoning
Commission makes a determination that the proposed development complies with all
requirements set below. The property is located in the Aspen Mountain Subdivision PUD.
Ordinance No. 7, Series 2002, approved the Top of Mill Subdivision and set forth that all of
the single-family residences to be constructed within the subdivision shall be required to
obtain 8040 Greenline Review approval prior to applying for a building permit. The above
ordinance granted approval of the subdivision's compliance with nine of the eleven 8040
Greenline requirements. The remaining two requirements, items 3 and 7, must be approved
by the Planning and Zoning Commission for compliance for each individual residence
design.
1. The parcel on which the proposed development is to be located is suitable for
development considering its slope, ground stability characteristics, including mine
subsidence and the possibility of mud flow, rock falls and avalanche dangers. If the
parcel is found to contain hazardous or toxic soils, the applicant shall stabilize and
revegetate the soils, or, where necessary, cause them to be removed from the site to a
location acceptable to the city.
2. The proposed development does not have a significant adverse affect on the natural
watershed, runoff, drainage, soil erosion or have consequent effects on water pollution:
STAFF COMMENT:
Standards 1 and 2 were approved as part of the Aspen Mountain Subdivision PUD.
3. The proposed development does not have a significant adverse affect on the air
quality in the city.
STAFF COMMENT:
This development will not have a significant air quality impact, as the utility
infrastructure is currently in place and will not be altered or added to for this project.
Additionally, the Top of Mill Subdivision specifically addresses the removal of
contaminated soils, dust suppression, landscaping, restoration following construction,
and the project will be subject to all requirements of the Environmental Health
Department, and to a construction management plan which will govern PM-10
mitigation, off-site mud transport, etc. Staff believes this project meets this standard and
should be approved.
4. The design and location of any proposed development, road, or trail is compatible
with the terrain on the parcel on which the proposed development is to be located.
5. Any grading will minimize, to the extent practicable, disturbance to the terrain,
vegetation and natural land features.
6
6. The placement and clustering of structures will minimize the need for roads, limit
cutting and grading, maintain open space, and preserve the mountain as a scenic
resource.
STAFF COMMENT:
Standards 4, 5, and 6 were approved as part of the Aspen Mountain Subdivision PUD.
7. Building height and bulk will be minimized and the structure will be designed to
blend into the open character of the mountain.
STAFF COMMENT:
The allowable building height and square footage were approved as part of the original
PUD to ensure the structures would blend into the open character of the mountain.
Development on Parcel 5 is limited to a maximum allowable floor area of 5,200 square
feet, which shall include the ADU. The proposed residence will contain approximately
5,163 square feet inclusive of the proposed ADU. The building height limit for the parcel
is 28 feet. The proposed height (25 feet) is lower than the allowable height, and the
square footage is equal to the allowable level, helping it blend in with the existing
mountain character. Staff believes this project meets this standard and should be
approved.
8. Sufficient water pressure and other utilities are available to service the proposed
development.
9. Adequate roads are available to serve the proposed development, and said roads can
be properly maintained.
10. Adequate ingress and egress is available to the proposed development so as to ensure
adequate access for fire protection and snow removal equipment.
11. The recommendations of the Aspen Area Community Plan: Parks/Recreation/Trails
Plan are implemented in the proposed development, to the greatest extent practical
STAFF COMMENT:
Standards 8, 9, 10, and 11 were approved as part of the Aspen Mountain Subdivision
PUD.

LOCATION:
Civic Address - 800 S. Aspen Alps
Road; Legal Description -Moses
Split Lot 1;
Parcel Identification Number - 2737-
182-56-003
CURRENT ZONING & USE
Located in the Moderate Density
Residential zone district with an
overlay Planned Unit Development
(R-15 / PUD) containing a single
family home.
PROPOSED LAND USE:
The Applicant is requesting to
develop a new single family
residential dwelling.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Planning and Zoning
Commission approve the 8040 Greenline Review
Application with the recommended conditions.
SUMMARY:
The Applicant would like to replace the existing single
family dwelling with the construction of a new single
family dwelling. The applicants are requesting approval
of an 8040 Greenline Review.
Photo of the
Revised 5/29/2008

Figure 2: Vicinity Map
BACKGROUND: The applicant intends to redevelop the lot located at 800 S. Aspen Alps
Road. There is currently a single family dwelling located on the lot and the applicant would like
to replace it with a new single family dwelling. The lowest part of the parcel is located at 8,056
feet which is above the 8,040 contour line. As a result, the new construction is considered to be
located within an environmentally sensitive azea. Development in this azea is subject to review
of the impacts on the natural watershed and surface runoff, air pollution, potential for avalanches,
and transitions to forest and agricultural lands. Other matters considered include suitability for
development, compatible design, minimizing disturbance to vegetation and natural land features.
The City Council approved the Moses Lot Split in 1987. This resulted in establishing Lot 1 and
2 and a voluntary prohibition of development on the remaining property, approximately three
acres of open space. This approval capped the allowable floor azea for Lot 1 at a maximum of
3,800 squaze feet.
LAND USE REQUEST AND REVIEW PROCEDURES: This will require review as
pursuant to the Aspen Land Use Code 26.435.030; all development located at or above 8040 feet
above mean sea level in the City of Aspen and all development within 150 feet below as
measured horizontally, shall be reviewed by the Planning and Zoning Commission. Please see
Exhibit A for staff findings on review standards and criteria.
The applicant is also required to meet the Residential Design Standazds in Chapter 26.410 of the
Land Use Code. This section applies to any residential development in the City of Aspen
requiring a building permit, unless the property is located within the R-15B zone district. Under
Section 26.410 (B) (2), parcels located within the Aspen Infill Area are required to comply with
all the Standazds, though parcels with no street frontage shall be exempt from the following
requirements: Section 26.410.040(A)(1)avd Section 26.410.040(D).
This lot is subject to the requirements of Ordinance No. 31, Series of 1992 that was created
during the Moses Lot Split that resulted in creating Lot 1. Ordinance No. 31 states that the
maximum allowable floor area for Lot 1 shall be 3,800 squaze feet.
KEY ISSUES: There are several concerns with this application that need to be resolved before
the building permit stage. One issue is how height is determined relative to the existing and
natural grade. The applicant is permitted to use historic grades to measure the maximum height
for structure levels that do not line up with walls that extend to the ground. The applicant has
provided an interpolation of historic grades at two feet intervals to determine the maximum
allowable height. The applicant has indicated that the new design will not increase the visual
impacts from this lot from the house design that is currently on the site. The new structure has
been designed to mimic the natural slope of the site.
During the 8040 Greenline Review minimum impacts to the view planes should be encouraged.
When reviewing a development under 8040 Greenline Review, the Planning and Zoning
Revised 5/29/2008
Page 3 of 11
Commission shall consider whether the applicant has made an effort to ensure design is
compatible with the terrain and that minimum disturbances have been made to vegetation and
natural land features. A cut is proposed into the bank and the applicant proposes to fill some
azeas to the south of the proposed structure. The existing house is sitting on a bench that was
artificially excavated to accommodate the development that exists on S. Aspen Alps Road. No
other excavation is proposed.
The proposed structure meets the requirements of the Residential Design Standazds. There aze
large trees along the front of the lot that assist in shielding the impacts from the view
perspectives from the town and surrounding properties. The proposed structure has a larger mass
than the existing one. This lot is capped at a maximum of 3,800 squaze feet of floor area,
designated by the PUD.
The City Engineer has indicated that the lot is located in a designated avalanche and mud flow
azea. The City Engineer is also requesting more information regarding impacts on runoff and the
natural watershed. The applicant is required to show plans that mitigate any safety hazards to the
residence, inhabitants and surrounding properties, in the form of a Grading, Drainage and
Erosion Mitigation Plan. The applicant is also required to submit an engineer's assessment of the
capacity of construction traffic on S. Aspen Alps Road.
REFERRAL AGENCY COMMENTS: (Development Review Committee Minutes -Exhibit
C)
Aspen Consolidated Sanitation District
The below grade development may require the installation of a pumping system. (Exhibit D)
Water Department
The property currently uses a pump. As a result the water is pressurized.
Pazks Department
The Pazks Department indicated that they were concerned about the cut into the bank and the
visual impacts. They requested a landscape plan that was ecologically connected to the site and
provided information on the native vegetation replacement plan. The Pazks Department has
forwarded a list of requests regarding tree permits, tree and native vegetation protection, erosion
control fencing and a landscape plan. (Exhibit E)
City En ig Weer
The Engineering Department requires an erosion, grading and drainage mitigation plan to
provide more information regazding the effects on water quality. This site is located in a
designated mudflow zone. As a result, an avalanche hazard and mudflow analysis will also be
required. Any windows that are located below grade will require safety mitigation plans. Also
an Engineer's Assessment will be required to outline the capacity of the road during the
construction process. (Exhibit F)
Fire Department
The Fire Departrnent will require a detailed drawing of the fire truck turn azound on the site with
the necessary dimensions. Also a wildfire mitigation plan will be required for the building

permit. The Fire Marshall noted that the water lines should be sized for sprinkling systems and
that a minimum of 16 feet of the access easement needs to be maintained for emergency ingress.
He also asked the applicant to indicate the location of the nearest fire hydrant.
Community Development -Zoning Officer
The Zoning Officer pointed out that grading appeazed to be the biggest issue. The existing grade
is lower than the natural grade. Using the natural grade will result in a higher permitted height.
The code requires that the more restrictive measurement is used for calculating height. He
requested that the applicant supply a map of natural grade of the original topography. One copy
was supplied with the application. He suggested that the applicant take the contours from the
historical maps and have the surveyor document the sections in between. The applicant will be
required to attend a meeting with staff to resolve the grading issue. A meeting will be arranged
prior to the June 3`d meeting. He pointed out that it appeazed that there was some screening
proposed and that hedgerows are not permitted. The FAR is set at 3800 square feet according to

Exhibit A
8040 GREENLINE REVIEW
Section 26.435.030 of the City Land Use Code provides that development applications that are
located at elevations greater than 8040 feet are subject to a review for impacts on
environmentally sensitive features including the watershed, avalanche hazazds, unstable slopes,
mudslides, air pollution and transitions to forests and agricultural lands.
A. 8040 Greenline Review Standards.
1. The parcel on which the proposed development is to be located is suitable for
development considering its slope, ground stability characteristics, including mine
subsidence and the possibility of mud flow, rock falls and avalanche dangers. If the
parcel is found to contain hazardous or toxic soils, the applicant shall stabilize and
revegetate the soils, or, where necessary, cause them to be removed from the site to a
location acceptable to the City.
Staff Finding
This lot is located on an east facing slope on the north side of Aspen Mountain. The City
Engineer has indicated that more information is needed regarding avalanche hazards, and
mud~low analysis. This property is located in a designated mud~low area. Mitigation plans
are required to ensure that development can occur safely on this site. The Parks Department
is also requesting a tree permit, tree and native vegetation protection plan and an erosion
fence plan. Staff will find this standard met with the submission of the appropriate plans.
2. The proposed development does not have significant adverse effects on the natural
watershed, runoff, drainage, soil erosion, or have consequent effects on water pollution.
Staff Finding
The City Engineer has indicated that a drainage, erosion, grading mitigation plan will be
required to ensure that development can occur without negatively affecting the watershed
and natural runoff Staff will find this condition met with approval from the City Engineer.
3. The proposed development does not have a significant adverse affect on air quality in
the City.
Staff Finding
The City Engineer has indicated that there is not a significant effect on air quality in the
City. Staff finds this criterion met.
4. The design and location of any proposed development, road, or trail is compatible
with the terrain is compatible with the terrain on the parcel on which the proposed
development is to be located.
Staff Finding
Revised 5/29/2008
Page7of11
The only proposed development is the replacement of the single family dwelling. It appears
that the design of the building attempts to mimic the general slope of the mountain; however
the new structure proposes to remove a portion of the slope in the rear of the lot. The
proposed structure is also substantially larger than the existing one; however, the height of
the structure will appear visually smaller than the existing structure. The trees along South
Aspen Alps Road help to screen the structure from lower elevations. Stafffands this criterion
met.
5. Any grading will minimize to the extent practicable, disturbance to the terrain,
vegetation, and natural land features.
Staff Finding
The applicant proposes to cut into the existing bank and to f ll a small area to the south of
the proposed structure to attempt to return a portion of the site back to historic grade. Staff
will find this criterion met with approval from the City Engineer.
6. The placement and clustering of structures will minimize the need for roads, limit
cutting and grading, maintain open space, and preserve the mountain as a scenic
resource.
Staff Finding
There is only one structure proposed for this site. The driveway and the access will not be
changed for the new development. The trees along the road may screen some of the new
development. The applicant has proposed a structure that mimics the existing slope to
reduce the visual impacts on the surrounding area. Staff finds this criterion met.
7. Building height and bulk will be minimized and the structure will be designed to
blend into the open character of the mountain.
Staff Finding
The building height is not minimized. The applicant has designed the structure to the
maximum permitted height under the Land Use Code. The majority of the mass of the home
will be located below grade. Stafffands this criterion to be met.
8. Sufficient water pressure and other utilities are available to service the proposed
development.
Staff Finding
The Water Department and the Aspen Consolidated Sanitation District have confirmed that
sufficient utilities service the site. Stafffrnds this criterion to be met.
9. Adequate roads are available to serve the proposed development and said roads can
be properly maintained.
Staff Finding
South Aspen Alps road is currently the main access to the lot via an easement through the
adjacent lot to the north. The applicant will be required to provide an engineer's assessment
to verify that the road will have the capacity to withstand the increase traffic and impacts
Revised 5/29/2008
Page 8 of I 1
from the new construction. The report has been submitted. Staff will ftnd this criterion met
with City Engineer Approval.
10. Adequate ingress and egress is available to the proposed development so as to
ensure adequate access for fire protection and snow removal equipment.
Staff Finding
The Fire Department has requested that the applicant provide a site plan that shows an
adequate area for emergency access. The applicant must ensure that there is at least 16 feet
of road width cleared at all dimes for emergency access. Staff will find this criterion met
with approval from the Fire Department.
11. The recommendations of the Aspen Area Community Plan: ParksBecreation/1'rails
Plan are implemented in the proposed development, to the greatest extent practical.
Staff Finding
There are no changes proposed that are addressed by the Aspen Area Community Plan.
Staff finds this criterion met.

ACSD Requirements -Lot 1 Moses Lot Split DRC 5-7-08
The existing sanitary sewer services for both Lot 1 and Lot 2 of the Moses Lot Split connect to
the Alps private sewer collection system, which in turn then connects to the district's main
sanitary sewer system lower in the Aspen Alps road. A shared service line agreement between
the owners of Lot 1 and Lot 2 of the Moses Lot Split and the Aspen Alps shall be required.
Service is contingent upon compliance with the District's rules, regulations, and specifications, which
are on file at the District office.
ACSD will review the approved Drainage plans to assure that clear water connections (roof,
foundation, perimeter, patio drains) are not connected to the sanitary sewer system.
On-site utility plans require approval by ACSD.
Below grade development may require installation of a pumping system.
One tap is allowed for each building. Shared service line agreements will be required where more
than one unit is served by a single service line.
Permanent improvements are prohibited in sewer easements or right of ways. Landscaping plans will
require approval by ACSD where soft and hard landscaping may impact public ROW or easements to
be dedicated to the district.
All ACSD fees must be paid prior to the issuance of a building permit. Peg in our office can develop
an estimate for this project once detailed plans have been made available to the district.
Where additional development would produce flows that would exceed the planned reserve capacity
of the existing system (collection system and or treatment system) an additional proportionate fee will
be assessed to eliminate the downstream collection system or treatment capacity constraint. Additional
proportionate fees would be collected over time from all development in the area of concern in order
to fund the improvements needed.
Where additional development would produce flows that would overwhelm the planned capacity of
the existing collection system and or treatment facility, the development will be assessed fees to cover
the costs of replacing the entire portion of the system that would be overwhelmed. The District would
fund the costs of constructing reserve capacity in the area of concern (only for the material cost
difference for larger line).
Glycol heating and snow melt systems must be designed to prohibit and discharge of glycol to any
portion of the public and private sanitary sewer system. The glycol storage areas must have approved
containment facilities.

BACKGROUND: The applicant proposes to annex the property at 201 S. 7`h Street which
currently consists of a lot with a single family dwelling into the City of Aspen's city boundary.
At this time the applicant has not indicated what the future plans are for this lot (Exhibit C -The
Application). Annexation procedures aze governed by the standazd steps outlined in the
Colorado Revised Statutes. State Statutes require certain procedural steps to be followed in an
annexation and criteria for whether a property can be annexed. A resolution of substantial
compliance was approved by Council at a public hearing on Monday, April 28~', 2008, as
required by State Statute (Exhibit B).
Originally the home was built in 1985, though the address was 312 S. 7`s Street at that time. It is
located on a street that is not within the City limits. This particulaz azea of Pitkin County is
Revised 5/29/2008
Page 2 of 12
isolated from other properties in Pitkin County because of topographical constraints including
Castle Creek and Shadow Mountain. This azea is also located within the designated Urban
Growth Boundary for the City of Aspen.
LAND USE REQUEST AND REVIEW PROCEDURES:
The applicant is requesting recommendation for approval for a zone district designation of
Moderate Density Residential (R-15). The zoning application will be reviewed under the
requirements in Code Chapter 26310, Amendments to the Land Use Code and Official Zone
District Map. In Pitkin County, the pazcel is zoned R-15 (Moderate Density Residential -15,000
square feet lot). The applicant is proposing that the parcel be designated Moderate Density
Residential (R-15) if it is annexed into the City boundary.
STAFF COMMENTS
Surroundin¢ Uses
Currently the lot is surrounded by residential uses in the Moderate Density (R-15), Low Density
Residential (R-30), Residential Multi-Family (RMF), and Affordable Housing (AH) zone
districts. Some of these zones have PUD overlays. Neazby on Main Street there is a Mixed Use
(MU) zone district. The property is currently compatible with the surrounding neighborhood. If
the property was annexed and zoned R-15 under the City's regulations, the maximum
development on the lot would consist of two detached residential dwellings. This maximum
development would also be considered compatible in this area.
Within the City boundary, the nearby uses include several different land uses. North and
adjacent to the property is a duplex. Across the street are multi-family affordable housing units.
In the next block, on Main Street there aze mixed commercial and multi-family units. The R-30
noted on the map to the west of the property is the Mazolt open space.

Notes:
1. The County nor the City permits area gained from a lot line adjustment to be
used for floor area calculations. A County representative indicated that a lot line
adjustment approved by resolution in 2000 that resulted in a gain of 4,380 total
square feet.
2. 2940 square feet of the lot along the 7`h Street frontage is subject to a warranty
deed, created to provide for improvements to 7`h Street.
Building height in the County is measured to the mid-point of the roof from
existing or finished grade, whichever is lower. The ridge line must be no more
than 5 feet higher than the midpoint. In the City, building height measurements
depend on the pitch of the roof. In this case the height would be measured from
the mid-point of the roof from natural or finished grade, whichever is lower.
4. The applicant did not subtract the right-of--way from the original calculations.
Also reductions were not included for a lot line adjustment. In the County, 4000
square feet of sub grade of floor and 750 square feet for the garage may be added
to the permitted floor area.
5. These numbers differ from the calculations of the applicant. 26,625 square feet
of lot size was used. The applicant requests that the area subject to the warranty
deed be included for floor area calculations.
6. These numbers could change depending on changes to the right-of--way as per
the Parks Department and the Engineering Department.
7. Allowable accessory and temporary uses include: Agricultural stand, arts and
craft studio, bus stop, day care home, home occupation, satellite reception
device, solar energy collector, temporary commercial use, and trails.
Accessory and temporary uses permitted with special review approval include:
Building mounted cellular telephone antennae, caretaker dwelling unit, club
house or recreational building, employee dwelling unit, water crossing or
diversion.
8. Conditional uses under the R-15 City zone district include: arts, cultural and
civic uses, academic uses, agricultural uses, recreational uses, group home, child
care center, and bed and breakfasts and boarding houses on historic properties.
Revised 5/29/2008
Page 6 of 12
The most significant difference between the two jurisdictions is the permitted uses. The City
designation permits two detached residential dwellings on a lot and the County does not in the R-
15 zone district. The applicant has been asked by the City's Zoning Officer to submit an analysis
of how the parcel meets the requirements of the R-15 zone district including floor azea estimates
under City jurisdiction. Under the County Land Use Code, the applicant is not permitted to use
the square footage gained from the lot line adjustment towards floor area calculations. It is up to
the City to decide whether or not to allow the inclusion of the squaze footage towazds floor azea
calculations.
The property may be eligible to apply for subdivision under City regulations depending on site
constraints. Using raw data figures, excluding the driveway easement and the ditch, the property
could potentially be subdivided into two lots, subject to Growth Management allocations. Each
lot could potentially be developed with a duplex. The property would still be eligible for the
construction of two detached single family dwellings using the gross azea, and subtracting the
right-of--way that is subject to the warranty deed. The annexation process does not restrict what
the City can add as a condition of approval of annexation.
ZONING:
In Pitkin County, this lot is located in the R-15 (Moderate Density Residential - 15,000 squaze
feet lot) zone district. The zone that the applicant proposes once it is located within City
boundary is similaz to the existing zone in the County. This zone is compatible with the adjacent
uses in the City limits. The applicant is not securing any development rights in conjunction with
the approval, other than what will be permitted under the proposed zoning of Moderate Density
Residential (R-IS). As noted in the review criteria an R-15 zone would be a reasonable
designation based on the surrounding zone districts adjacent to the property.
ASPEN AREA COMMUNITY PLAN
The subject lot is included in the urban growth azea in the AACP and has a future designation of
residential. One of the goals of the AACP is to promote pedestrian accessibility. Annexing this
lot will allow the City to add to the trail network by gaining an easement for a trail along the
frontage of the lot and adding more sidewalk improvements to the City inventory. The
Annexation Plan created in September of 2005 reflects the land use policies of the AACP with
regazd to adding urbanized land. This annexation plan shall be used to ensure well-ordered
development of the City, evenly distribute the cost of City services, extend services to eligible
citizens, and simplify boundaries. The subject lot is located in the Ute/Northstaz, Shadow
Mountain, Red Butte annexation azea. It is not located in an environmentally hazazdous azea as
other lots in this azea as it is located a significant distance from the steep slopes of Shadow
Mountain.
DEVELOPMENT REVIEW COMMITTEE:
The Pazks Department would like to obtain at least a 15 feet wide easement to extend the W.
Hopkins Trail at this intersection towards the Marolt Bridge. Minutes from the meeting aze
included as Exhibit D.
Revised 5/29/2008
Page 7 of 12
The frontage of the parcel does not meet City standards. The applicant will be required to install
curb, gutter, and sidewalk along the 7`n Street frontage, up to the south portion of Hopkins
Avenue. Drainage is not properly conveyed through this section and the sidewalk needs to be
extended. These improvements are required prior to annexation.
RECOMMENDATION: Community Development Staff recommend that the Planning and
Zoning Commission recommend approval of the zone district designation request of R-15.
PROPOSED MOTION: The Community Development Staff recommends that if the Planning
and Zoning Commission satisfied with this zoning application that they may use this motion. "I
move to recommend to Council, that they approve Resolution No. 00X, Series of 2008, to
approve the petition for Annexation combined with the application for Zoning at 201 S. 7`n
Street."

ANNEXATION COMBINED WITH A ZONING APPLICATION
REVIEW CRITERIA AND STAFF FINDINGS
Section 26.310.020 of the City Land Use Code provides that development applications for
amendments to the official zoning map shall be processed in accordance with the Common
Development Review Procedures set forth at Chapter 26.304. The Planning and Zoning
Commission shall consider:
A. Standards of Review.
1. Whether the proposed amendment is in conflict with any applicable portions of this
title.
Staff Finding
Staff does not feel that the proposed zoning designation is in conflict with any portion of the
Land Use Code. The proposed zone will be compatible with the pattern of residential
development that exists around the lot in the City boundardes. A review of the applicant's
analysis of the conformance with the City's dimensional requirements is necessary. Staff
finds this criterion to be met.
2. Whether the proposed amendment is consistent with all elements of the Aspen Area
Comprehensive Plan.
Staff Finding
Stafffeels that the proposed zone is consistent with the goals of the AACP. The lot is located
in the Urban Growth Boundary. It would be an asset to the City to have the opportunity to
extend the trail on Hopkins closer to the Marolt Bridge. Stafffnds this criterion to be met.
3. Whether the proposed amendment is compatible with surrounding zone districts and
land uses, considering existing land use and neighborhood characteristics.
Staff Finding
The subject property the lot is surrounded by residential uses in the Moderate Density (R-1 S),
Marolt open space that is noted as Low Density Residential (R-30), Residential Multi-Family
(RMF), and Affordable Housing (AH) zone districts. Some of these zones have PUD
overlays. Nearby on Main Street there is a Mixed Use (MU) zone district. 77te property is
currently compatible with the surrounding neighborhood. If the property was annexed and
zoned R-1 S under the City's regulations, the maximum development on the site would consist
of two detached residential dwellings. This maximum development would also be considered
compatible in this area. Stafffnds this criterion to be met.
Revised 5/29/2008
Page 9 of 12
4. The effect of the proposed amendment on traffic generation and road safety.
Staff Finding
Staff does not believe that the proposed zoning will have a significant impact on traffic
generation or road safety because the proposed rezoning would only have the potential to
construct one additional residential unit. Staff finds this criterion to be met.
5. Whether and the extent to which the proposed amendment would result in demands
on public facilities, and whether the extent to which the proposed amendment would
exceed the capacity of such facilities, including, but not limited to, transportation
facilities, sewage facilities, water supply, parks, drainage, schools, and emergency
medical facilities.
Staff Finding
Staff does not feel that there will be an increase in the demand for public facilities as a result
of the proposed zoning request. Staff finds this criterion to be met.
6. Whether and the extent to which the proposed amendment would result in significant
adverse impacts on the natural environment.
Staff Finding
Staff does not believe that the proposed zoning application would result in significant
adverse impacts on the environment. Stafffnds this criterion to be met.
7. Whether the proposed amendment is consistent and compatible with the community
character in the City of Aspen.
Staff Finding
Staff believes that the proposed rezoning application is consistent with the community and
neighborhood character of the area in that the new zoning would allow for a more consistent
pattern of residential development with the remainder of the properties in the neighborhood
than Is currently allowed on the site. Stafffurtherfeels that the proposal will likely allow for
the massing of residential units on the site to be spread out over the entire property. Staff
finds this criterion to be met.
8. Whether there have been changed conditions affecting the subject parcel or the
surrounding neighborhood which support the proposed amendment.
Staff Finding
There have been few changes to the surrounding neighborhood recently. Staff finds this
criterion to be met.
Revised 5/29/2008
Page 10 of 12
9. Whether the proposed amendment would be in conflict with the public interest, and
is in harmony with the purpose and intent of this title.
Staff Finding
Staff believes that the proposed zoning application would not be in conflict with the purpose
and intent of the land use code or the public interest. Providing a partial linkage for the
Marolt trail would be an asset. Staff finds this criterion to be met.
