I" " . ~ / , .t$ ( .... 1717' Aspen City Council Regular Meeting March 10, 1975 The MA.A. would offer to spend $10,000 to renovate the basement and to pay $3,500 per summer providing whatever is spent for renovation is credited against the rent. The M.A.A. is also asking for a minimum of a three year lease. Ted Armstrong, Parks and Recreation Direction, said there was a soda fountain in the basement .and the space is just barely adequate to install some type of kitchen which would feed that amount of people. Mayor Standley questioned the ventilation and elect:::i'c system. Armstrong told Council some ventilation and storage for foods would have to be.installed. Mayor Standley asked if there was sufficient capacity to femthat many people. Edgar Stern said not everyone ate at once. Mayor Stanoley mentioned that Grass- roots was willing to move their office space upstairs. Councilwoman Markalunas asked whatwould,happen to the recreation program down in the basement. Armstrong said they couldrnake other arrangements. Councilwoman Markalunas moved to lease the basement of the Wheeler Opera House, or that portion under the control of the City, to the M.A.A. for three years as per their memo- randum submitted dated March 10, 1975, and to move Grassroots upstairs; seconded by Councilwoman Pedersen. Councilman Behrendt suggested a rent of .$1 per year plus their share of the utilities. Edgar Stern said the M.A.A. planned on paying their utilities as theywoulq only use the spac for nine weeks. Mayor Standley told Council the City could use the space at other times. Armstrong asked if other civic groups already using that space could still have it when the M.A.A. wasn't using it. Edgar Stern saia the .M.A.A. would prefer to keep it under their control but perhaps something could be worked out for after 8 p.m. and the MA.A.A could lock up the kitchen. Councilman De Gregorio suggested the motion be amended to include the fact that the City can use the space after 8 p.m. Councilwoman Markalunas amended her motion so to read. All in favor, motion carried. / ASPEN VILLAS - Final Subdivision Yank Mojo, Planning Department, presented the final plat to Council. He also told Council that the Villas were drawing up an agreement to prohibit use of the basements in the Villas for bedroom purposes. Mojo mentioned to Council the property was valued at one- quarter million dollars for cash dedicati~n purposes. The cash dedication to the City will be $10,000. Mayor Standley asked where the public trail will be. Mojo told Council it was on the western boundary and will be paved in concrete. There will be accesses to this meandering path from Seventh and Hallam. The bike path will not go on Sevenmand Hallam because that is too dangerous. Mayor Standley asked if the bike path could be marked as such. Mojo said yes, .i t could. City Attorney Stuller said this agreement was directing that the subdivision agreement be recorded and the City was accepting the cash dedication. Councilwoman Markalunas said it was her understanding that there were to.be no parking signs. along Hallam from..the bridg,e to t.he cornE~r. That hasn I t been done. In the summer the bike trail is obstructed' with parked cars. Mojo told Council it 'was up to the City to post the signs. Also, there are to be no curb cuts off Hallam street except one. Councilman De Gregorio made a motion to approve the final plan for subidivision; seconded by Councilwoman 'Pedersen. Art Daily, representing the Villas, pointed out to Council the figure on pages 4 and 5 of the subdivision agreement for escrow arrangements should be $67,256. All in favor of the motion" except Councilman Behrendt and Mayor Standley.

Daly: In regard to my written development appraisal of the Vi I la of Aspen Phase I I and your subsequent request for a reappraisal incorpora- ting new information, I have prepared this letter-addendum to my previously submitted report. This letter completely supersedes the development approach as evaluated in my previous appraisal. This appraisal is being made: (1) to incorporate a revised and more precise square footage measurement of the intended condominium im- provements. Where previously assumed to be 1100 square feet of on- . closed living space plus a 600 square foot basement, the revised figures include 992 square feet of living space with a 448 square foot basement (unfinished) and a 60 square foot canti levered balcony; and (2) at your request for a detai led breakdown of hard construction costs reflecting the direct costs al located to finished living space, unfinished basement, and balcony. These assumptions will affect only the income approach to value and the market approach value estimate remains as previously stated. The incromental change in unit square footage wi I I have its major effect on constructi on costs as opposed to any change in anti ci pated ,gross revenues. This is true because purchasers buy within a given price/qual ity strata and general iy do not make the investment decis- Ion based upon i ncroments in any square footage parameter. Ther-efore, it is assumed that the 108 square foot smaller unit could also be sol d for $71,500. In estimating hard construction costs in the previous appraisal, a rate of $32 per square foot of living space was assumed. This figur-e was applied to a base of livable square footage (finished) and con- tained an allocation for the basement over the livable finished ar-ea. The revised approach segregates living saace (@$27/sf), unfinished basement (@$11!sf), and balconies (@$8/sf). These costs were obtahed from Shaw Construction, contractor for the subject development, and were verified by other local developers and contractors. This cost structure, when app lied to the updated 'p roject speci.f I cat ions, revGa: s the unit cost figures presented in the following table and represents a total construction cost of $836,992.

Because the market'approach exceeds the income approach valuation, theoretically, the market value of the subject property has exceeded its user value. Although the extent of this excess is not great, the near equality of the market and income approaches points out that the developer in this case, could not afford to pay more than market value without beginning to" erode his profits accruing from the investment and risks inherent in bringing the subject property to its highest and best use. Given the land value indicated by'the development (income) approach is $232,720, and the landvalue indicated by the market approach is $238.576, for the reasons above stated and subject to the assumptions and limiting conditions previously stated and not superseded, I recertify the subject property's market value, as of March 9, 1975, to be equal to the value as determined by the market approach and rounded to: TWO HUNDRED THIRTY-EIGHT THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED ,DOLLARS ( $ 238,500 ) Respectfully submitted, ,,&~t{ f}~J~~ Brian L.

' The board of directors recently met to consider this question, and un- animously agreed that we prefer to retain the berms. Furthermore, board members have subsequently approached at least a dozen other Villa res- idents, and,they all desired to retain the berms. The berms provide a place to play for the children and serve as a visual screen from the road. We request that the berms remain as they are.

Goodheim under date of February 21, 1975. The Report appears to be comprehensive in scope and well-grounded analytically, and certifies a current fair market value for the property in the amount of $238,500.00. In the event this valuation is found acceptable by the City, the cash dedication due to the City in connection with the captioned subdivision will be $9,540.00. Please let me have your thoughts on this as soon as you've had an opportunity to discuss it with other interested City personnel. As you know, we are scheduled to appear before the City Council for final subdivision review on March 10, 1975, and we would therefore like to finalize the Subdivision Agreement before the end of the present week.

This specific utilization of the findings herein, however, in no way alters the appraisal methodology nor valuation from any other market value appraisal process for development properties. The property ownership interest being appraised is a fee simple interest. The inherent rights accruing to this absolute ownership interest include the right to enter upon or into an interest thereof, to use or not, the right to sell or not, to lease or refuse to lease, , to donate or give as a gift, and the right to enjoy peaceful possession. These rights are subject only to the governmental pOlice powers, eminent , domai n, taxation and escheat. The type of value being estimated by this appraisal is Market Value, 'which is defined as follows: The highest price the property will bring contemplating the consummation of a sale and the passing of full title from seller to, buyer by deed, under condi ti ons whereby: buyer and seller are free of undue stimulus and are moti- vated by no more than the reactions of typical participants; both parties are well-informed or well-advised and act prudently, each for what he considers his own best interests; a reasonable exposure is given in the open market; and payment is made in cash or on terms reasonably equivalent to cash, assuming typical financing terms available in the community for similar property. IV Physical, Social, Economic and'Market Data pertinent to Appraisal Since all parties concerning themselves with this appraisal are intimately familiar with Asp,en's economic and social patterns, only a synopsis of these issues will be discussed herein. Suffice it to say that Aspen is the Western Hemisphere's premiere destination ski resort with annual ski visitation approximating one and one half million skier visits. This economic base supports an ambient, permanent population of between 7,500 and 10,000 with peak summer and winter tourist visitation swelling the population figures to 15,000 and 24,000 respectively. r''''\ 'J *subject to the assumptions and limitations ancillary to this appraisal opinion. 'C .e 0, , ,-., --- Offering a clean environment, quality skiing, fishing, hiking, educational and cultural activities, Aspen's short-term visitors provide a ready market for whatever real estate interest is available to make the transition to Aspen residency. This strong demand for real estate is mitigated by an extremely limited supply of privately owned land caused mainly by Aspen's nearencap3Jlation by publicly-owned national forest. A compl imenti ng force further constri cti ng the avail abl e supply of real estate and housing is the latent political philosophy of local govern- ment. Realizing that the ten plus percent annual population growth rate prevalent in the 1960's could not continue without major environmental and social degradation, growth controls in the form of special review ordinances and a major downzoni ngwere instituted. The proposed downzoni ng woul d y'educe the potential buildout within the city by two-thirds. In fact, the subject property was downzoned from AR-l to R-MF use. Economic implications of this downzoning, especially as development appraisals are concerned, include to what extent will the downzoning,imply a higher land cost per unit and what proportion of this increased land cost may be passed on to the homebuying consumer. Assumptions regarding these relevant issues are critical to the apprais'al process and are discussed below. ,v Appraisal Assumptions and Limiting Conditions The market value of most urban properties is a partial (but major) function of the highest economic use to which the property can be utilized. Given the prevalent Aspen real estate market, exhibiting conditions of demand-pull and supply constraint inflation, the question arises as to whether the specul ati ve market value of the Vi 11 a of Aspen property has exceeded its economic use value. The answer is detennined by an assumption regarding the degree to which an increased unit land cost component may be passed on to the consumer and this degree is determined by the price elas- ticity of demand for the final product. This elasticity reflects the sensitivity of demand relative to changes in price at a given price strata, and is a primary function of the degree of competition (the number of purchase alternatives) in the market. The elasticity assumption made herein is that since demand is so strong and that there exist so few alternative housing purchase options, the entire increased land cost component, may be passed onto the consuming public with only a minor decrease in absorbtion rate. Pricing the units at $65.00 per square foot of living area,* it is anticipated that sellout of 26 units would be over a two-year period. *This figure implies a retail price of $71,500 for a two bedroom, two bath unit. -Current market averages of comparable units range from $51.00 to $69.00 per square foot and average $58.00 for comparable units without basements. ,,...., ,~ <:; VI Statement of Highest and Best Use and Value in Use () o With the implimentation of the proposed zoning change from AR-l to R-MF on the subject property, its value in use as a lodging facility will be non-conforming. Given the age of the structure (18 years) and the fact that any additional improvements would require a zoning variance, its continued value in use must be discounted to reflect these conditions. In regard to the current and potential operating statements for the Villa of Aspen, the 1973-1974 books show an operating loss of $28,500. on gross income of $126,000 from rental of the 40 lodge units. The 1973 assessed value of the land and improvements was $63,070 and $68,740 respectively, which indicates an actual valuation of $210,260 and $229,120 respectively, at the assessment rate of 30%. Given the above information, the highest and best use of the subject property is not its current use, but the development of the land into condominium townhouses. VII Preliminary, Value Estimate: Market Approach Under the market approach to value, the value of the subject property is determined by an examination of comparable sales, weighting each for its comparability with the property being appraised. The value translator generally used in vacant land is price per acre, per square foot, per front 'foot, or per buildable square foot or area unit. Adjustment is made in these translators to reflect varying degrees of aesthetic differential, adverse influence, or physical limitations to land utilization between the comparable and subject properties. Hence, an indicated value of the subject property is arrived at. Encompassing the premise that the market value of a development property is a function of the extent to which it can be developed, a land cost per unit figure was calculated for combarable projects in Aspen, this cost was brought forward to represent 1975 dollars,* this current dollar land cost per developable unit was weighted on the basis of project comparability, and finally this weighted average cost per unit was multiplied by 26 units to determine the market value of the subject property based upon the project yield. The projects selected for comparison, in order of comparability, were the Villas Phase I, the Larkspur, the Gant, and the Concept 600. The comparison between the Villas Phase I and Phase II necessitated a land cost allocation between the two parcels. This was achieved by *at 10% compound interest. c o o .-. ~ taking the ratio of useable acreage for each parcel to the total useable aCreage and allocating the unuseable acreage (east bank of Maroon Creek flood plain) and regarding each phase as a separate project. The Larkspur is the second most comparable project, but suffers in similarity because of a slightly higher retail product (3 bedroom units) and a lower project yield (marginal land cost per unit should diminish as additional units are added, hence the cost function with respect to units is nonl inear). On the other hand the price range of these units is almost exactly that of the subject project. In a comparison with the Gant, the opposite is true because this project has over 5 times as many units as the subject development. This factor is mitigated by the fact that the Gant contains a substantial number of three and four bedroom units, which should represent a higher land cost per unit. Hence the comparability weight of 20%. The Concept 600 is the least comparable of the four projects because the project density is very high and the project contains app.roximately 7000 square feet of commercial space for which an adjustment must be made. The low weighting factor of 10% is assigned to the Concept 600. From the self-explanatory analysis on the fOllowing page, it can be seen that the market comparable approach indicates a land cost of $9,176 per developable unit. This represents $23a,576 as the indicated value of the subject property under the market approach. ,......, """, C: "iJ' MARKET DATA APPROACH: COMPARABLE PROJECT ANALYSIS ~ ~ . C"-,,, "',..'" .,':,:.....11 VIII Preliminary Value Estimate: Income (development) Approach The income approach to value is a "land residual" technique in which the future income stream to land and improvements is segregated and that accruing to land is capital i zed to give a present va 1 ue of the site alone. The deve 1- opment residual is a hybrid of the income approach where an economic simulation of the proposed development is used to create a pro forma cash flow. statement. From the cash excess over labor, services, and materials is subtracted the return accuring to capital, any endogenous contracti ng profit, and a 1 and ' development profit accruing to the entrepreneurial vehicle, leaving a land residual which is the indicated economic value of the site. This technique is especially useful as a pre-acquisition aid to developers to insure that the asking price of the site is not speculatively priced in excess of its development (user) value. In the application of the development approach to the subject property, final land yield of 26 units was marketed at $65.00 per square foot (or $71 ,500 per unit) to generate revenues of $1,859,000 over a period of two years. Marketing costs consisting of a 6% brokerage' commission yields a net sales $1,747,460. Development costs consisting of planning, site prep, hard construction, and general and administrative (overhead) were estimated based upon this eap-praiser's experience with such costs in Aspen. A return to capital in the form of construction and land financing ex- pense was calculated based upon a construction loan of 80% of the appraised Value of the improvements (the existing market rate of $55.00 per square foot was used to appraise the project). The construction loan commitment was thus assumed to be $1,258,400 for an 18 month commitment at 2 points at 9 percent. From the net residual to land and profit, a building contractor's profit of 10% of the construction contract, and a land developer's profit of 10% of gross sales must be subtracted to arrive at the land residual of $238,560.

IX Correlation of Value Estimates Given the close fit between the market nata and income approaches, the certainty of the final valuation is increased. Of the two approaches, the income method is the most applicable because of the direct translation of the economic value of the property at its highest and best use, development into 26 condominium townhouse units. Had the valuation under the market approach greatly exceeded the valuation given by the income approach, the market approach would have taken precedence and indicated that the market value contained a strong speculative component which had forced the price above the user (economic) value. By using the economic approach to indicate economic value and the market approach to check for speculative value influences, the most certain valuation opinion can be rendered. Given the close fit between these'approaches, it can be concluded that the market value is its economic value, or $238,500.

Art Daily sai~the Villas had conferred with their'architects,councilman Breasted, and the planning Department on this revised site plan. The Villas had left 'only three units near the corner of 7th and Hallam. All details of the plan wer~ gone over~ The plan- ning Department recommended that.the site plan be accepted. Councilman Breasted indicated he felt this plan was acceptable. . ~ Mayor Standley asked t\lE! Villas what they found objectionable to the plan Breasted " provided. John Stanford, Planner, stated that Breasted's plan, was too massive and that ;1 Breasted had presented parking as an exteripr solution and the Planning Department felt it should be within the confines of the structures. The position of the buildings and the courtyard effect would cause noise and reverberation problems, problems with snow removal, lack of sun. v \ t r r ;t I 'f Councilman Breasted said he felt the Villas plan was a fair compromise although he still didn't like it much. He also disagreed that,the Villa plan was less massive than his. Greg cole of the Planning Department explained to council he had done the actual site plan review and had looked at all ,the alternatives. The plan presented left much more open space on the corner (7th and Hallam); the internal parking solution was better. This plan would place buildings 80 feet from the property line, this is a significant increase from; 30 feet: and the Villas were dedicating approximately 2/3 of the site to open space. John Stanford pointed out primary concerns of this site plan ,were to open up the corner and to retain~s much of the natural vegetation on the site as exists at present. Mayor Standley said he though Councilman Breasted's plan was a good clean, innovative solution to ,the problem. Attorney Dailyreiterated that the architectural firm, the Planning Department, and the p & Z all reached the decision that this was the best site plan for this site. Council- man Breasted said he didn't think the plan ~ad much imagination but would go with the plan because the Villas had made an attempt. Councilman Walls moved the Council approve the Villas plan: seconded by Councilwoman Markalunas. I I. I \ ! , ~ r Councilwoman Markalunas said she felt there should be no parking. around the site on Seventh street and Hallam street. A question was called. All in favor with the exception o!

CouncilrnanBehrendt asked 'Mahoney to check the sale of the post office land to see if it was conditioned on door~to-door delivery. Councilwoman Markalunas asked Mahoney if any progress was being made on the land exchange. City Attorney Stuller said King would be here in early January with an offer of reasonable value.

The property is owned by Miss Anna Borgeson and Mr. JOe Borgeson. I have discussed the following comments with them about possibly new units being added to the Villa Condominiums and they are in agreement with what I say in this letter. 1. We are opposed to any more condominium units being built by the Villa because there is already too much traffic and too many cars bej~~ked in this very small and limited area out here. The block the Villa plans to build the proposed condominiums on is bordered on two sides by the extremely. h~avyy- travelled Highway 82 and there is only one short block of West Bleeker which can be used for access and parking. This is already being used by the present 38 units of the Villa Condominiums, and we think the satu- ration point has just about been reached. We think multiple family, high density zoning is wrong for this area because it is cut off from the town completely by Highway 82. Traffic has increased so much (see attached clipping) that access to the highway has become extremely difficult and is becoming more difficult every year as the traffic increases. Also, another group of large, khaki colored, unattractive buildings is going to detract from the appearance of the entrance to our town which has already been very much hurt by the present Villa Condominiums. We think the lawn in front of the present Villa Lodge should be made a greenbelt to keep some open space here. 2. We do not think the Villa should be allowed to build anything more on their property here until they have added to their present parking lot enough space to accommodate the vehicles belonging to their Condominium ownees and tenants which are being parked year round in 8th Street. The street is clogged with their cars, jeeps, trucks, etc., all the time and has been ever since the present condominiums were buil t. 3. We want 8th Street between Main and West Bleeker opened up to its full - -, Aspen City Council - 2 - October 8, 1974 75 feet and the landscaping placed on the west half of the street removed. 4. We do not think the 46 parking spaces planned for the new units are nearly enough. 5. We do not think it is fair to put another entrance to a parking lot or another parking lot directly across the street from the Borgesons' home on the north side as they already have a parking lot on the west side of them with the entrance directly opposite their house. 6. Fireplaces. All the present 38 units seem to have fireplaces and~ do .;?(;, not think they should be allowed in the proposed ~ new units if they are constructed as the air pollution caused by the wood smoke as well as the cars is so bad out here. Sometimes we can hardly breathe outside at night because of the wood smoke. 7. Dogs. The present Villa Condominiums are overrrun by dogs. They fight, howl, and attack other people's pets. They are allowed to run around freely and leave their droppings allover other people's property. To build more units means instead of one dog pack, we will have two dog packs. I find it hard to understand why building permits are still being issued for condominiums in the city of Aspen when the State Department of Public Health has advised the city government that the air pollution problem is so bad that at least 88% of the present number of Cars and 35% of the present fireplaces should be eliminated from the town in order to meet minimum air air standards. Articles about Aspen's air pollution have appeared in newspapers allover the United States. It would seem the health of the people who live in Aspen is of very little importance to city employees and offi- cials. Respectfully submitted, ~ .. ,-;:::::, :/..~?....

A large Safe way or other super- market could be built to serve them and also Snowmass at Aspen, and a post office put there for their convenience. It would also be more healthy for children since the air pollution is so bad in town. I also think that every effort should be made to make Snowmass at Aspen more self sufficient where all types of services are concerned as this would help to reduce traffic entering Aspen every day. bb L"~ ~~,.)~~ ~~~~ Clipping from Aspen times of October 3, 1974 ....,.,'-"-..;0-:,,., f"""'" ^ CIT PEN box v MEMORANDUM TO: Aspen City Council FROM: Planning Office SUBJECT: Review of Villa of Aspen Site Plan (12-12-74, Revision) DATE: December 18, 1974 The enclosed site plans attempt to solve the problems of the Villas ODP as stated by the City Council. An 80' open area has been added to the corner of 7th and Hallam. The Planning Department feels this is adequate to accomplish the openness at the corner without crowding the complex of units. For comparison purposes, the open space distance is about the width of City Hall. Our major problem with this plan is the location of the swimming pool. We feel that it's location presents an attractive nuisance and potential hazard due to the potential pedestrian traffic along 82. Supervision of the pool would be more difficult, and the location encourages use by nonproperty owners. We recommend~shifting of the middle cluster to enable placement of the pool within the complex. The parking count is adequate; the code requires 1.5 cars/2 bedroom unit which totals 39, and the plan shows 41. We would like to sug- gest landscaped corner islands rather than open parking stalls at the entry point into the major east-west parking element. This design situation would prevent tight cornering around parked cars -'-' ',,>---.- 1"". ^ MEMORANDUM City Council December 18, 1974 Page Two where potential damage could result and would also break up the parking area with more landscaping making the project more visually appealing. The three or four lost parking stalls could be relocated in the entry drive at the expense of losing existing trees or perhaps further study could reveal a better solution. We generally feel that the internal parking solution is more appealing than the peri- meter solution from the city's standpoint, because it is not visible from outside of the project. The Planning Office recommends a meandering detached 5' concrete sidewalk within the additional 12.5' right-of-way setback which could follow the grade of the indicated berming (not to exceed 5% grade). The landscaping plan of 12-6-74 appears adequate as presented pro- vided berms and tree locations are adjusted to allow for the required inclusion of the meandering walkway. We encourage also the curved walkways along Bleeker and the bikeway on the west lot line. We feel that these suggestions offer the applicant a more exciting solution to the standard requirements of sidewalk design. The Planning Office feels the importance of this corner site as an entrance into Aspen dictates special considerations for this project. A suggested sketch plan including these revisions has been drawn up by the Planning Office and is included for your review. ,..." ,-, MEMORANDUM TO: Aspen City Council FROM: Planning and Zoning Commission SUBJECT: Villa's Outline Development Plan DATE: December 4, 1974 The Villa of Aspen, Inc., presented an Outline Development Plan (ODP) for Block 11 of the Original Townsite to the Aspen Planning and Zoning Commission. The property to be developed includes the vacated portion of Eighth Street between Hallam and Bleeker and the vacated alley parallel to and between Hallam and Bleeker and bounded by Seventh and Eighth. The vacation of Eighth Street and the alley in this area was approved by City Council on 18 March 1957 by Ordinance #1 and 14 August 1972 by Ordinance #14. The zoning for this tract, as approved by the Aspen Planning and Zoning Commission on October 8, 1974, is Residential-Multi-Family (R-MF), Mandatory PUD. Preliminary density calculations indicated that the 1.6 acres (69,696 sq. ft.) would support thirty-two (32) 2/bedroom units and require forty~eight (48) parking spaces. The Aspen Planning and Zoning Commission upon a favorable recommendation of the Planning Office approved this density for the Villa's tract. However, subsequent research has revealed that Section 24-2.5 "Zoning of Vacated Areas" of the Recommended Zoning Code states, ". . . that in determining density for development, there shall be excluded from the calculation of allowable density those areas of the de- velopment tract acquired by vacation." Therefore, the amount of land available for density calculations is 54,000 sq. ft., resulting in an allowable density of twenty-six (26) 2/bedroom units. ,....., /""'I, MEMORANDUM City Counci 1 Villa's December 4, 1974 Page Two On September 17, 1974 the Aspen Planning and Zoning Commission without consideration of the provisions of Section 24-2.5 of the Recommended Zoning Code, found that the standards of approval as required by '24-10.1 (b) 2 of the Zoning Ordinance had been met and recommended approval subject to satisfaction of all subdivision requirements. The Commission's findings are as follows: 1. The tract of land proposed for PUD development is in one ownership. 2. The area under consideration constitutes 1.6 acres (69,696 sq.ft.) and is designated R-MF Mandatory PUD. 3. The development includes open space for the mutual benefit of the entire tract. 4. The project is designed to accomodate the allowable density in a manner that preserves the privacy of the owners and provides some feel ing of openness at the west entrance to the city. A setback of 37~ feet from existing Highway 82 has been agreed to on the north and east sides of the tract. The existing curb cuts on Hallam Street will be closed on the applicants property. ~ I" . ,1""'\ MEMORANDUM City Council Villa's December 4, 1974 Page Three 5. The project is in harmony with some of the surrounding existing neighborhood and is felt to be consistent with the Planning and Zoning Commission's concept of develop- ment along Highway 82. / AS EN PLANNING COMMISSION Dated this 1 day of 1"....~~, 1974. ~. ~ LEGAL NOTICE Notice is hereby gi Aspert City Council shall hold a public hearing on Pecember 9, 1974, 5:00 p.m., City Council Chambers, to consider the Out Plan for the Villas of Aspen, Incorporated Subdivision more particularly described as follows: A parcel of land situated in theSW~ of Section 12, Township 10 South, Range 85 West of the 6th P.M., Pitkin County, Colorado, being Block 11 of the City and Townsite of Aspen, the vacated alley within said Block 11, and part of the vacated Eighth Street northerly of the northerly line of Bleeker Street, being more fully described as follows: COllli~encing at the intersection of the notherly line of Block 5, City of Aspen, with line 6~7 of the Aspen Townsite as patented, whence Corner no. 6 of said Aspen Townsite (a red sandstone in place) bears N. 07 38' OO"E. 1086.23 feet, thence following the northerly line of said Block 5 S. 75 09'll"E. 203.00 feet to the point of beginning, thence S. 14 50'49"W. 220.69 feet to a point on the northerly line of said Bleeker Street, thence following the northerly line of said Bleeker Street, S. 75 09'E. 317.53 feet to the southeast corner of said Block 11, thence N. 14 51'E. 220.69 feet along the easterly boundary of said Block 11 to the northeast corner therof; thence N. 75 09'W. 317.54 feet to the point of beginning, containing 1.609 acres, more or less, excepting, however, that certain 0.010 parcel of land in the northeast corner of said Block conveyed by the Villa of Aspen, Inc. to the City of Aspen by that certain instrument recorded August 18, 1972, in Book 266 at page 37 of the Pitkin County Records.

This might be accomplished by roof top retention, on-site ponding, drywell capacity or a combination of these. 3) Street improvements required should include sidewalk on all three streets abutting the property; new curb and gutter should be extended west on Bleeker and the existing curb cuts on Hallam closed. Bleeker Street should be improved to an all weather seal and chip surfacing immedi- ately, and a committment should be required to join any future improvement districts. An easement will be necessary for sidewalk at the corner of 7th and Hallam. 4) The on-site parking appears reasonable with a parking space to bedroom ratio of 3:4. However, the on-street parking capacity is already limited and will be worsened by more development. A major part of this problem results from the fact that the earlier Villa project was required to construct a berm in the Eighth Street right-of-way creating a roadway too narrow to accomodate curb, gutter, and sidewalk as required. The entire area will be affected by the new development and the berm should be removed and the ditch relocated to allow for the proper street improvements before any new construction occurs. 5) The site plan does not show all the large trees along the ditch which would be damaged by construction within 10 feet of the west property line. Some of the trees are growing outside the boundary of the present project, but have a spread which encroaches 15 to 20 feet over the property line. The primary concern is the building in the southwest corner. The second level overhangs should not encroach into the trail easement either. In conjunction with Ordinance 47-1974, a much more detailed landscaping plan should be submitted indicating which existing trees . /: ..-" ,,-..,, will be preserved in addition to those along the ditch. The planting program should give some variety in type and size of trees and shrubs as now exists. 6) The trash areas should be located so that the front pick-up type trucks can operate without removing parking spaces.

The property is owned by Miss Anna Borgeson and Mr. Joe Borgeson. r have discussed the following comments with them about the possibility of new units being added to the Villa Condominiums and they are in agreement with what,r say in this letter. I . 1. We arf opposed to any more condomin7uNnits being built because there is already too ~h traffic and too many cars in this very small and limited area out here. ' 2. We do not think the Villa shculd be allowed to build anything more on their property here until they have added to their present parking lot enough space to accommodate the vehicles belonging to their condominium o~ners and tenants which are being parked year around in 8th Street. The street is clogged with t;,eir cars, jeeps, trucks and. campers all the time and has been ever since the present condominiums were built. ~ '. 3. lie do not think the 48 parking spaces planned for the ne\1 units is . nearly,enough. 4. We do not think it is fair to put another entranm to a parking lot or , another parking lot directly across the street from the Borgeson8' home as they already have a parking lot on the west side of them with the en;'rD,l1.ce just opposite their house. 5. Fireplaces. All the present 45 units seem to have fireplaces and we do not think they should be allowed in the proposed new units as the air pollution caused by the wood smoke as well as the cars is so bad out here. r find it hard to understand why building permits are still being issued for condominiums in the city of Aspen when the State Department of Public Health has advised the city government that the air pollution problem here is so bad that at least 88% of the present number of cars and 35% of the present fireplaces should ,.-" ,-" 21~Dn~g and Zoning Commission City of Aspen - 2 - September 17, 1974 be eliminated from the to~n in order to meet minimum air standards.

The purpose of this letter isto inform you that he does not now have, nor has he ever had permission to use my property for access to this project. I have been contacted by Mr. Windemuller regarding use of my property for access on two occasions. On April 26, 1973, he re- quested permission explaining that he had not realized that he did not have the right to use an existing private road. He was denied permission. On June 20, 1973, he and his attorney, Art Daily, again requested permission and when again denied permission he threatened litigation to gain the right. It was made unmistakably clear to him that even with the threat of litigation he still did not have my per- mission. At both meetings requesting access, he made cash offers which were turned down. I have not had any discussions with Mr. Windemuller since June 20, 1973 and as i.ndicated above, there could not have been any direct Or implied agreement on my part for him to use my property for access w~ph or without approval of the Planning and Zoning Commission. I will be happy to meet with you personally to further clarify this matter.

However, it was my impression at the p&Z meeting that the major concern was in regard to problems which may be caused should delivery trucks, cars, or other obstacles be parked / in this 24' wide roadway. Emergency vehicles would not then have adequate access to the site, and possible traffic jams of normal vehicles could also be caused. One solution to this problem would be to widen this access road to 28' (The minimum for one lane of parking and two traffic lanes). I realize that the physical conditions make this solution somewhat costly, however, the City and P&Z Commission are in an obligatory position to attent to the public safety irrelevant to the cost. . In reguard to a previous memo requiring a 45' center line radius on the curves into and out of the cul-de-sac, I stand corrected. The required radius is 38' as you properly stated.

STULLER, CITY ATTORNEY SUBJECT: APPEAL OF VILLAS OF ASPEN You have received the written materials submitted by Art Daily on behalf of Villas of Aspen. In response I ~~ hereby sub- mitting counters to his arguments which I hope you will read prior to the hearing on Thursday. We both appreicate that making such determinations are difficult, so I hope to make this memorandum and my presentation as clear as possible so that the issues can be clearly presented. Factual Background Prior to March of 1972 all of Blocks 5, 6 and 11 and the North Texas Mill site belonged to Ralph Curton and Howard Lee. On March 13, 1972, they conveyed all this interest in two parcels to the Villa of Aspen, Inc. The parcels consisted of a. parcel one: Block 11, the vacated alley and a part of the vacated Eighth Street; and b. parcel two: Blcoks 5 & 6, a part of vacated Bleeker Street, a part of vacated Eighth Street, vacated alleys, and the North Texas Mill site. The conveyances were by metes and bounds description. On August 14, 1972, the Mill site and the west ends of Blocks 5 and 6 were annexed. In October of 1972 a condominium declaration was filed covering that parcel designated above as parcel two. During 1972 the Code included the following definition of subdivision: "Section 20-2 (a) Subdivision. A Subdivision is a described tract of land whi.ch has been divided into two (2) or more lots, tracts or parcels, anyone of which is five (5) acres or less in area for the purpose, whether immediate or future, ""'" ""'" of transfer of ownership for building development or for street use by reference to such subdivision or a recorded plat thereof. (b) Subdivider. The person including the owner, or agent for the owner, dividing or proposing to divide the land so as to constitute a subdivision to be shown on a recorded plat." It is the City's contention that the March, 1972, conveyance constituted a subdivision as described by the Code at that time. It is worthy of note that all alleys in Blocks 5, 6 and 11 had been vacated, as had Eighth Street (which lies between Blocks 5 and 11). I would like to counter Mr. Daily's arguments out of the sequence in which made, if you will bear with me. Counter to Applicant's Contention that City Building Inspector Has No Authority to Deny Building Permit Application on Ground That Subdivision Law Not Complied With. In support of his argument Mr. Daily cites State v City of Tacoma 385 P2d 372(Washington 1963). In Tacoma the applicants purchased two lots from an intended large subdivision prior to plat approval. The court held that the subdivision regulation cannot be interpreted to allow the city "to visit the sins of the grantor upon the grantee.. ,.. Both the provisions for fixing a penalty and granting injunctions in the foregoing (subdivision) statute are directed against the owners of land, or his agent, who transfers or sells it before the plat or map of the subdivision in which it lays has been approved. They are not directed against a bona fide purchaser, and a failure of the grantor to comply with the planning statutes and ordinances does not give the city grounds to refuse his bona fide grantee a building permit." This is certainly not the case here. For some unexplained reason, Villas took title to a single tract of land in two parcels, condominiumized one tract and retained the other for its own j_mprovements. I think a case more in point is Pratt v Adams, (2) ~ -- r I I \ I t \ ~ I t f 1 40 Cal. Rpt 505 (Calif. 1964), which concerned two married couples who purchased 46 acres of land, and to avoid the subdivision requirements, took title as jOint tenants, conveyed to four other couples as joint tenants, and then commenced a partition action to have it divided among the 12 married people involved. Each person then divided his or her parcel into four parcels. (Note partitions by order of court are usually exempt from the definition of subdivision and the regulation here defined subdivision to include only division into five or more parcels). The time between the purchase of the single parcel and the ultimate division into 38 took about four months. During these maneuvers, the local planning commission was holding hearings on rezoning the land, considering a single family - three acre minimum district. The rezoning was enacted. However, the county code provided also that a rezoning could not affect the right to build upon a lot providing "such was a separate lot or parcel of record or shown on a map of a recorded subdivision on the effective date." The original lot owners then made application for building permits arguing the rezoning did not affect their property. The permits were denied on the argument that the procedure followed was in violation of the local and slate subdivision regulations. The court upheld the refusal stating: "This is not a case in which a building permit has been denied because of some old violation of subdivision laws, possibly done by predecessors in title to the applicant; it is a case where the permit is sought as the culmination of a plan to circumvent the law by one of the planners. The courts will not assist, by equitable process, the fulfillment of this plan." Here, the Villas took title, to what was before a tract held in single ownership, by a single deed conveying the tr.act. in two parcels. The Villas then conveyed one parcel to a condominium (3) .-, -, association within seven months. In the summer of this year Ordinance 19 affected the balance of the Villas property. The Ordinance excepted permit (as this was) applications pending but a permit is not deemed pending unless all subdivision require- ments have been satisfied (if any are applicable to the project) on the effective date of the Ordinance. Consequently, the Villas of Aspen, Inc., is in a situation not unlike the permit applicants in Pratt, i.e., only if the subdivision requirements are held not applicable to their property will a land use regulation (Ordinance 19) be deemed to affect their intended use. Counter to Applicant's Argument that Subdivision Regulations Are Not Applicable in the Present Situation. The thrust of Villas' second major argument is that inasmuch as Blocks 5, 6 and 11 have already been designated as such on an official city map, any conveyances in which they are kept in tact cannot constitute a subdivision of land. In sum, the appli- cant states "There has been no modification of or interference with the land divisions created by the city, and thus no further division has taken place." Let me note, first, that there has indeed, in the history of this tract, been "modifications of....the land division created by the city" inasmuch as Eighth Street and all the alleys have been vacated. Consequently, one of the most important functions of an official map, that is, to cause dedication of land for public access, has been negatived. But more importantly, I do not think Villas' theory will survive comparison with American case law. Courts have several times discussed the issue as to whether or not the selling of a lot or lots in an officially recorded map consti. tutes a subdivision. The Courts' reasoning should be helpful here. (4) 1""'\ 1""'\ In Loechner v Campoli, 231 A2d 553 (M. J. 1963) plaintiff attempted to sell two of five contiguous city lots designated on a January 1900 city map. She argued that the existence of the mapping made inappli.cable the subdivision requirements of the city as once a map is filed the individual lots never lose their separate xentities regardless of how many contiguous lots remain in or are assembled into one ownership. The Court disagreed: "This reasoning ignores the differences in purpose of the two acts. The objectives of the Old Map Act and the Sub- divisiOn Act are completely different. The history basic purposes of the Old Map Act were.. ...(a) to provide a method for officially filing maps so that future conveyancing instruments might refer to a parcel of realty by reference to the lot numbers as delineated on the map and (b) to set forth sound engineering standards for maps so filed so as to avoid surveying errors. On the other hand, concerning (subdivision regulations), they were designed to afford municipalities desiring the advantages of their provisions to enact comprehensive regulatory standards which would facilitate sound and orderly future municipal growth along preconceived lines, in short, a planned community growth." The Court found that the Old Map Act was subject to subsequent valid exercises of the police power in zoning and other land use controls. In accord is Ryan v Woodridge 231 A2d 562 (N. J. 1962), Lake Intervale Homes v Parsippancy-Troy Hills 147 A2d 28 (N. J. 1958) . The State of New Hampshire has taken a like position in Blevens v Manchester 170 A2d 121 (N. Hamp. 1961). The landowner had from 1936 to 1956 acquired land all of which had been sub- divided into lots with the city surveyor's or engineer's approval. Sales were made with reference to the recorded plat. Subsequently, subdivision regulations were enacted and the city attempted to (5) ,lfI.fIt,\ ,-, apply them to future sales by the landowner. The Court sustained the city: "Statues regulating the subdivision of land seek to promote the orderly and planned growth of relatively undeveloped areas within a municipality. Planless growth and haphazard development accentua~municipal problems in a demand for streets, water and sanitary services which have a direct relation to traffic s~fety and health. The subdivision of land has a definite economic impact upon the municipality and hence the regulation of subdivision activities has been sustained as a means by which the interests of the public and the general taxpayer may be safeguarded and pro- tected. Since the subdivider of land creates the need for local improvements, it is considered reasonable that he should bear the cost rather than the municipality and the general taxpayer..... The subdivision law and ordinance apply to all of plaintiff's lots shown on their recorded maps which are unsold and any conveyed after the subdivision ordinance was approved by the city. This is not a retrospec- tive law." Lifewise is Toothaker v Billerica 193 NE 2d 582 (Mass. 1963). Consequently, ,I feel there is enough case law to support a demand for satisfaction of subdivision requirements when any city lot, formerly under single ownership with adjacent lots, is conveyed. However, as is evidenced by the letters to Ken Hubbard submitted by Art Daily, in the case presented by Ken this office did not require compliance with subdivision regulations for the following reasons. Such transfers concern lots on existing streets in a developed neighborhood. In such cases there can be little basis for apprehension either that the purchaser will be bilked into buying a lot which is unusable for lack of improvements, or that the city will be forced to install major improvements. The character of the neighborhood is fixed so it cannot be materially affected by this technical subdivision of the land. (6) ... , ~ . 1""'\ ~ However, none of these protections exist when a large parcel is conveyed, consisting only partially of city blocks and lots, when adjacent streets and alleys have been vacated and proposed development will have a major impact on the community. It is submitted that in such cases the intents and purposes of subdivision come into play and demand compliance with ChapteT 20 of our Code. Response to Applicants Contention that City is Estopped From Requiring Compliance and that Application of Subdivision Regu- lations Would Deny Applicant Due Process and Equal Protection of the Laws. These arguments lend themselves to more casual presentation and the City's response will be made orally at the time of hearing. Respectfully submitted, Sandra M. Stuller City Attorney .,.,...., "......", . EXHIBIT B WRITTEN STATEMENT IN SUPPORT OF APPEAL I. Factual Background. By Deed recorded March 13, 1972 in Book 261 at page 927 of the Pitkin County records, Appellant herein (The Villa of Aspen, Inc.) acquired title to approximately 5.719 acres of land comprising Blocks 5, 6 and 11 in the City and Townsite of Aspen, the part of vacated Eighth Street lying between said Blocks 5 and 11, the vacated alleys in all three of said Blocks, and the North Texas Millsite, U.S.M.S. No. 3288. At the time of acquisition, the only improvements on the subject property were the existing Villa of Aspen motel complex, the three principal structures of which are situated upon Block 11 and extend Slightly more than halfway across the vacated portion of Eighth Street which lies between Blocks 5 and 11. During the summer and fall of 1972, Appellant processed the annexation to the City of the North Texas Millsite. As a condition to the annexation, the Aspen Planning and Zoning Commission and the City Council required that Appellant submit a detailed site and landscaping plan for the townhouses condominium project which was proposed for Blocks 5 and 6 and the to-be-annexed Millsite, carefully reviewed such plan and required that a number of modifications be made. The Millsite was then formally annexed to the City, and the land rezoned AR-l Accommodations - Recreation, on August 14, 1972, subject to the condition that the condominium project be constructed in accordance with the site and landscaping plan on file with the City Planning Commission and Building Inspector. It should be noted at this point r~r-" i - ,--. f""'\ that while it was clearly understood by all parties throughout the annexation proceedings that the adjoining Villa of Aspen motel property was owned by Appellant, and that the con- dominiumizing of the lands depicted on the site plan would eventually result in title to such lands being held by persons other than Appellant, at no time during the pro- ceedings was there any suggestion that Appellant's eventual transfer of title to the units might constitute an act of subdividing. Both parties were familiar with the subdivision regulations, and both obviously felt that they were not applicable. It might also be noted that simultaneously with the annexation of the Millsite to the City, Appellant delivered to t~i~, - at the City's request - a deed covering .01 / '\ . acrel of land in the northeast corner of Block 11, to be used for ~ softening of the curve at the corner of Seventh Street ~State Highway 82. The City did not require compliance with the subdivision regulations in connection with this transaction either, nor was any exemption from such regulations obtained. On October 24, 1972, the Condominium Declaration for the Villa of Aspen Townhouses was recorded in Book 261 at page 81 of the Pitkin County records, and Appellant proceeded to sell off the subject units. At the present time, all of the units have been sold, almost exclusively to permanent residents of the Aspen community. Moving now to the immediate controversy, on June 25, 1973 Appellant applied to the City Building Inspector for a building permit to construct a project known as the Villa of Aspen Conference Center on the site of the existing Villa of Aspen motel, which site is~more fully described on Exhibit A attached to this Application. The proposed -2- F'l , I ! t... ^ ,...." project is designed to replace the aging, and in recent years economically unfeasible (too few units) Villa of Aspen motel with a larger, more modern motel structure which will also offer conference facilities. The plans complied with all current zoning regulations, and because of their complexity were forwarded by the City Building Inspector to the International Conference of Building Officials (ICBO) in Whittier, California, for Building Code review. During the waiting period, and even as late as the second week in August, the Building Inspector continued to advise Appellant, it's contractor (George Shaw) and it's architect (Russ Pielstick) that the building permit would issue as soon as the ICBO plan check was received and any plan corrections recommended thereby were made. By letter dated August IS, 1973, however, the Building Inspector informed Appellant that its application for a building permit was being denied on the grounds that (a) the ICBO report indicated that certain aspects of the plans would have to be redrawn, and (b) it was the opinion of other Departments of the City that the City subdivision regulations would have first to be complied with (and that a letter would follow from the City Attorney substantiating this latter ground). A copy of this August IS letter is attached hereto for your reference as Exhibit C. Subsequently, by letter dated September 6, 1973 (copy attached as Exhibit D), the City Attorney confirmed the City's position that Appellant would have to subdivide the property before a building permit could be issued. For the record, Appellant and the City have agreed that the date of this latter letter (September 6) is the date from which the appeal deadline is to run in the present case. Finally, on Wednesday, September 26, 1973, the undersigned -3- rV" r ;, i i I r .~' ^ 1""'\ representative of Appellant was advised by phone by the City Building Inspector that after further consideration of the plans originally submitted by Appellant, his office has con- cluded that such plans were in fact a legitimate submission, representing a sincere effort to comply with the Building Code rather than merely an attempt to file before the effective date of Ordinance 19 (passed a month later on July 24, 1973), and that the building permit application will not be denied on the ground that plan corrections must be made. Most of such corrections have already been sub- mitted to the Building Inspector, and he has further advised the Appellant that as soon as all Code requirements have been satisfied, he will issue a letter rescinding the portion of his August 15 letter which denied the application due to plan correction requirements. As a result, the present appeal concerns only one aspect of the Building Inspector's decision: Whether compliance with the City of Aspen subdivision regulations is necessary before a building permit can be issued for the subject project. II. Summary of Appellant's Arguments. Appellant will argue that on anyone of four distinct grounds, it is not necessary that the City subdivision regulations be complied with before a building permit can be issued. A. The Git~ SubdiVision Regulations are Not , ApplJ.ca leln the Present Slt\1atlon. In October of 1972, when the first townhouse was sold, the term "subdivision" was defined in the Aspen Municipal Code in the following language: "Section 20-2(a) Subdivision. A subdivision is a described tract of land which has been divided into two (2) or more lots, tracts, or parcels, anyone of which is five (5) acres or less in area for the -4- F" I \ I i I I ( '"'' " ~ ,-.. purpose, whether immediate or future of transfer of ownership or for building development or for street use by reference to such subdivision or a recorded plat thereof." Obviously, the fundamental requirement of this definition is that there be a "division" of land. And yet in the present case, the property ~ already divided. Under the authority of Ordinance No.6 (Series of 1959), the Official Map of the City of Aspen was prepared by Buck Buchanan (then County Surveyor) and recorded, on December 16, 1959, in Drawer A of the Pitkin County records bearing Reception No. 109023. The effect of this recording was to formally plat the land within the City into the lots, blocks, streets, alleys, parks, etc. shown thereon. Blocks 5, 6 and 11 are, of course, a part of this officially platted area, and it is obvious that such platting effectively diVided the land involved into such Blocks 5, 6 and 11. In other words, the land which is the subject of the present controversy has been formally divided for many years, and has been consistently treated as such by the City for purposes of general property taxation (see Exhibit E) as well as special assessments (see Exhibit F). How, then, can it be argued that a "division" of land has occurred in the immediate situation? The boundary line between the now-condominiumized land and the motel property lies within the vacated portion of Eighth Street between Blocks 5 and 11 (approximately nine feet West of the centerline of said vacated street), and leaVes both 'of 'stich 13loc'ks'c'omplet'ely il1tact. There has been no modification of or interference with the land divisions created by the City, and thus no further division has taken place. And without a "division" of land, the sub- division regulations are not applicable. Appellant has ( -5- ~'",~:'7''''''~_'U~ IF' f ( ~' , I t .., ,'-" ,-" done nothing more than hundreds of other landowners within the City have done in the past - he has taken two (or more) contiguous, officially platted parce~s of land, sold one of such parcels and retained the other for future sale or development. In not one single instance since the adoption by the City of subdivision regulations has such a transaction been deemed within the purview of the subdivision regulations. In fact, on the same day (September 6) that the City Attorney delivered to Appellant her opinion that it had committed an act of subdividing, she forwarded an opinion letter (copy attached as Exhibit G) to an Aspen attorney to the effect that the sale of one or more City lots which are part of a larger parcel of lots all under single ownership does not constitute subdividing under the City subdivision regulations. Yet where is the distinction? Except in terms of size, there is no difference whatsoever between separating the ownership of two City blocks, and separating the ownership of two City lots. Both blocks and lots con- stitute parcels of land which have been officially diVided by the City, and neither can now be treated as "undivided" for purposes of the subdivision regulations. In sum, the subdivision regulations have never before been interpreted as applicable to land already officially platted into lots and blocks, and there is no justification for the City's adoption of a contrary position with respect to Appellant. Indeed, the language of certain portions of the subdivision regulations themselves strongly suggests that they werEl" not" "intend"ed to apply to property already so divided. Por example, in the definitional section, the following descriptions are employed: "Sec. 20-2(d)" "PinaTplat. A final plat is a map or chart of the subdivision . . . marked -6- / rl ! , , i '- ., , i I ~ ~ 1""\ ,,,,",, on the ground so that streets, alleys, blocks, lots, and other divisions thereof can be l.dentified." (Emphasis added). "Sec. 20-2 (i) Lot. ' A portion of a subdivision used or intendea-for-use as a unit for transfer of ownership or for development." (Emphasis added). The term "block" is not defined, but obviously it too would be considered "a portion of a subdivision." The clear implication is that land previously platted into lots and blocks has' 'aTre'a'dy been subdiVided wi thin the meaning of the City subdivision regulations. Further support for Appellant's position appears in the Colorado statute which constituted the authority for the City's recording of an official city plat at the time such recording was accomplished. Section 139-18-9 of the 1953 Colorado Revised Statutes provided (and the current version thereof still does provide) that: "Upon the filing of any such plat in the office of the recorder of the county, the boundaries of contiguous 'divisions 'of land . . . upon any such plat shall be determinedaiiir settled as indicated in the plat. ' AU the other matters indicated u\,on , 'said Pia~shalroeaeemedbindmgUpo~the partl.es 'iiCYri'ow egmgsuch plat" (Emphasis a dear. The subject property has been oficially platted by the City as Block 11, City and Townsite of Aspen, and the City is bound by such designation and cannot now treat such land as undivided for purposes of the subdivision regulations. While Appellant believes that the foregoing rationale completely resolves the present controversy, it deems it appropriate to outline briefly three further legal arguments which will be raised in the event some basis is found by the Board to justify the application of the subdivision regulations to the present case. B. 'Even 'if SubdiVision Regulations A\,licable, ' ()1'ty Estopped from ReqUl.rl.ngcomp~l.anceat "i:h1s T1me. The doctrine of equitable estoppel has long been applied -7- r' ! i , % i i I . t., ' ,-., ,-, by the Colorado courts in situations where compliance with certain statutory requirements would result in obvious injustice to the private parties involved. The basic require- ment of the estoppel doctrine is good faith reliance by a private party on acts or representations of municipal authorities, to the detriment of the person claiming the estoppel. In the present case, even if a division of land (within the meaning .of the subdivision re.gulations) is found to have occurred by this Board, such division took place in October of 1972, and it was not until August 15 of 1973 that the City notified Appellant that this division was going to be. treated as an act of subdividing. In consequence, Appellant naturally assumed that subdividing would be unnecessary for purposes of obtaining a building permit for the new motel, and took a number of costly steps in reliance on such City action. Two sets of architects were retained, and extensive building plans and specifications and architectural renderings prepared. A major contractor was retained, whose fall schedule was substantially designed around the proposed project. Financing was extensively negotiated with major lending institutions around the country, and certain preliminary arrangements entered into. Normally, of course, where subdividing is required the subdividing process is substantially completed before the foregoing activities are seriously undertaken. In addition, in reliance on the several representations made by the City Building Inspector during July and August to the effect that only plan corrections stood in the way of a building permit, Appellant placed a large steel order (steel supplies being relatively short), on which penalties must be paid if delivery is not taken. All of these actions were taken in good faith reliance -8- / r~'T t ~' I' , f #, l ~ t ~: ("",, . ~. 1--- C. to and The United States and Colorado Constitutions provide that "no person shall be deprived of life, liberty or property without due process of law." In addition, the Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution prohibits a state (or any political subdivision thereof) from denying any person the equal protection of the laws. In the present case the "due process" and "equal protection" -9- r-l I I i I r (.,:.~"..- , &: lij. 1 if:: ~ ~ adoption of the subdivision regulations that the City has attempted to apply such regulations to a severance of land titles along officially platted lot or block lines. Indeed, on the evidence of the recent City Attorney opinion letter pertaining to sales of lots (see Exhibit G), it may also represent the last such attempt. No clearer case of selective, discriminatory, non-uniform application of the laws of this municipality could be posited. The City subdivision laws cannot constitutionally be applied in this manner. D. . eit en u . Buildin Ul In lVlSlon . Even if the subdivision regulations are held to be applicable in the present situation, the Building Inspector cannot legally deny a building permit application on the ground that such regulations must first be complied with. Neither the Uniform Building Code (as adopted by the City) nor the City Subdivision Code contain any. authority for the denial of a permit on this basis. On the contrary, the Subdivision Code sets forth criminal penalties for failure to subdivide, and. such penalties cannot be enlarged upon by the City in its discretion. Section 7-5 of the Aspen Municipal Code defines the responsibilities of the Building Inspector in the following language: "The chief building inspector shall be responsible for the enforcement of the building code, the electric code, housing code, plumbing code, all special hazards codes which may now or hereafter be adopted, and the zoning code of the City." No reference is made to the Subdivision Code, and such code simply not his responsibility. Similarly, the Uniform Building Code provides that when plans conform to the zoning .regulations and meet the requirements of the building code, a building permitshalI be .is.su.ed. The Building Inspector -10- .,., ". _T."","_.""~V'._''''''''~.'''''' ',-, r-'T Ii!. ~' .~ . i . f ~ 1;,. , ,lh,. ;; ,-,.- .>, . . ' ~. .~ has no discretion to refuse a permit on grounds nowhere mentioned in the laws under which he operates and from which he draws his authority. While the Colorado courts do not appear to have con- sidered this particular issue, the Supreme Court of the State of Washington handed down a decision in 1963 (State v. City of Tacoma, 385 P.2d 372) in which the facts were so closely analogous to those in the present case, and the reasoning so similar to that set forth above, that a copy of the decision is being attached hereto for the convenience of the Board as Exhibit H. In effect, it is Appellant's argument that even if the subdivision regulations are somehow found applicable to Appellant, the Board must reverse the Building Inspector's denial of Appellant's permit application, on the ground that the.Building Inspector acted beyond the scope of his authority in denying the application due to failure to comply with the subdivision laws. II 1. 'PTea of Appe11an t . For the foregoing reasons, Appellant respectfully requests this Board to reverse the decision of the Building Inspector denying Appellant's application for a building pe.rmit on the grounds that the City subdivision regulations must first be complied with, and order that such permit be issued upon compliance by Appellant with all building and zoning code requirements in effect at the time such applica- tion was filed with the Building Inspector's office.

My apologies for an unclear response. The case law on this point is diverse but since there is no opinion from the Colorado appellate courts we feel free to exercise our perogatives, at least with respect to the Beck sale, and indicate that we do not feel that the sale of one or more city lots which are part of a larger parcel of lots all under single ownership constitute subdivision. Your letter addresses two alternative meanings. The first we would not consider a "division" so as to even bring subdivision regulation into play. The latter we would also exclude as not, at least as far as the Beck pro- perty, within the concerns of subdivision regulation. I trust this will resolve the issue.

In April of 1958 title was quieted in Olivia and Van Sickle with the decree convering this property: "The above tract is also known as Lots D, E, F, G, H, I, N, 0, P, Q, Rand S, Block 5; LotsE, F, G, H, I, 0, P, Q, Rand S, Block 6; Lots A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, K, L, M, N,. 0, P, Q, Rand S, Block II, Aspen Townsi~e and East and West Alley between Hallam Street and Bleeker Street from west line of Seventh Street to city line, all lying in Blocks 5 and 6, Aspen Townsite, East and West alley in Block 6 lying west of west property line of Eighth Street and running westerly to the city limit line. Also Bleeker Street to the west city limit line of Aspen ,Townsite. Also Eighth Street from the north property line of Bleeker Street to the south property line of Hallam Street. Also the Horth Texas Millsite, M. S. #3288." 2. In 1963 Howard Lee acquired title to the property by virtue of sheriff's deed with essentially the same description. . 3. On January 12, 1970, there was recorded a deed conveying an undivided 1/2 interest in the same property to Ralph Curton,. Jr. This is recorded in Book 245 at page 913. .- - . ^ 1""'\. ....- .~'- .... Arthur Daily, Esq. September 6, 1973 Page 2 4. Ralph Curton, Jr., and Howard Lee conveyed two parcels to the Villa of Aspen, Inc., by deed recorded March 13, 1972, at Book 261 and Page 927. The two parcels consisted of: a. Block 11, the vacated alley and a part of the vacated Eighth Street, and b. a second parcel consisting of Blocks 5 and 6, a part of vacated Bleeker Street, a part of vacated Eighth Street, vacated alleys, and the North Texas Mill Site. The conveyances were by metes and bounds description, in addition to the lay description. 5. The Villa of Aspen, Inc., then recorded the Condominium Declaration for Villa of Aspen Townhouses in October of 1972. It appears that the area concerned with was essentially the same as in paragraph 4b, i.e., parcel two in the 1972 deed, though I cannot tell at this point whether they are identical. This will warrant review by the city engineer. There have been, subsequent to the recording of the Declaration, numerous conveyances to individual condominium owners. The issue, the, as I see it is whether the dual transfer to the Villas in 1972 and the subsequent condominiumizing of one of the parcels constituted a violation of the subdivision regulations which, in 1972, provided: "Section 20-2 (a) Subdivision. A subdivision is a described tract of land which has been divided into two (2) or more lots, tracts~or parcels, anyone of which is five (5) acres or less in area for the purpose, whether immediate or future, of transfer/ownership or ic~ for building development or for street use by reference to such subdivision or a recorded plat thereof. (b) Subdivider. The person including the owner, or agent for the owner, diViding or proposing to divide land so as to constitute a subdivision to be shown on a recor~ed plat." It is my understanding that the Mill Site and the west ends of blocks 5 and 6 were annexed on August 14, 1972, i.e., after the dual. transfer to Villas, Inc., but before the condominiumizing ~f parcel two. Section 20-4 requires compliance with the subdivi~ sion procedures before dividing any tract of land within our cor- porate limits into two or more lots if anyone is less than five ... < ^ 1""'\. ~ '0 ,." .j Arthur Daily, Esq. September 6, 1973 Page 3 acres in size. I think we can agree with all of the above pre- mises and data and proceed from there. Legal Principals There are, I think, two basic issues presented by this fact situation: 1. Is parcel "one" a city block; and if so did 2. the 1972 dual transfer or the sale of the first con- dominium on parcel one constitute a divis~on of land within Section 20-2 (a). As to what constitutes a block the only Colorado case even discussing the issue is Town of Cherry Hills Village v Shafroth 349 P2d 368 (Colo. 1960) in which the court said that for the purposes of the disconnection statute land is deemed platted into lots and blocks when it is divided into tracts which are surrounded and intersected by streets which have been dedicated to the public. Query whether the vacation of the Eighth Street dissolves the delineation of the plot as a block. As to the second question: I can find no ca.se in which the issue posited was whether a division of land is not a subdivision because one parcel constituted a city block. The point of time of the division does no~ seem to help in the determination. If it was at the time of the 1972 deed, part of the land in parcel two was not within the city and could not be affected by Section 20-2 (a), but part of parcel two was and subdivision might have occurred with the intent of future transfer of ownership. On the other hand, the concept is often stated that, unlike normal subdivision, the mere recording of a final plat for condominiums ~oes not automatically convert a single parcel into separate condominium units and must be at least one condominium unit con- veyed to convert the single parcel into units, County of Los Angeles v Hartford Accident and Indemnity Company, 83 Col. Rpt. 740 (Ct. App. 1970). Consequently, if the subdivision, if any, occurred when the first condominium was sold, all property was within the city and subdivision regulation. Again, if parcel one is deemed a city block does this affect the division of the parcel so as to exempt the process from subdivision regulation. All definitions of subdivision describe it in terms of the division of a larger parcel into smaller ones. No case discusses the issue in terms of parcels containing city blocks. The courts have gone both ways on the question as to , . ~ '^ ti'lli . ..n Arthur Daily, Esq. September 6, 1973 Page 4 whether sale of lots within a block, formerly all in single ownership, constitutes subdivision, and the cases consequently, are of little help. Art, I would appreciate your help in resolving the matter. Unless I can locate some authority that excepts the parceling of tracts when city blocks are involved, I will have to apply Section 20-2 (a) as it reads, i.e., that the division of a tract which until 1972 was conveyed as a single parcel, constituted a subdivision.

Occupant Load: 707 1970 Uniform Building Code Seismic Zone No. 1 One Hour H/B-3 Dear Mr. Meyring: Data for the above project has with the Uniform Building Code lows: been reviewed for conformance and our comments are as fol- GENERAL COMMENTS: 1. For the purpose of plan review this building has been sub- divided into three separate portions; each hotel wing and the "lobby-dining-banquet" wing is considered as a sepa- rate building. This allows the structure to be treated as Type V - one-hour construction. 2. The parking area.is classified as an F-l Occupancy since it is approximately 3,320 square feet in area. NONSTRUCTURAL COMMENTS: 1. Unobstructed yards of 26.5 feet should be maintained On two sides of the "hotel" wings for area purposes. Section 506. This should be filed in your permanent records for future reference. ~ ~. "- " -2- 2. A three-hour fire-resistive occupancy separation in conformance with Table No. 5-B and Section 503 is required between the parking area on the ground floor (F-l) and the adjacent hotel units (H). Note that this occupancy separation includes thebal- conies above the parking area. The floor-ceiling assembly and the walls around the parking area do not meet this requirement. 3. Since all three portions of this building are classified as Type V one-hour construction the requirements of Table No. l7-A should be met. It is to be noted that the exterior walls do not comply with the one-hour fire-resistive requirement for walls. 4. Folding partitions should comply with Section 1705 (b). See third floor banq11et rooms, plan Sheet No.5. 5. Enclosures for floor openings.should comply with Table No. l7-A and Section 1706. Note that stairway walls should have a m~n~mum one-hour fire-resistive rating. The wall section shown should be justified as complying with this requirement. The same comment applies to the elevator shaft. The elevator doors should be labeled one-hour fire-resistive assemblies. See plan Sheet No. 11. , 6. Anchored veneer over 20 feet in height should be supported with noncombustible corrosion-resistant ledgers at a maximum Of 12 feet on center above the 20-foot height. Section 3006 (b). Details of chimney showing compliance with this requirement should be provided. 7. The use of lightweight concrete flooring in the H Occupancy should be justified as an alternate material for a fire-resistive floor- ceiling assembly unless it complies with a specific research rec- ommendation. 8. Nonabsorbent finish and backing for toilet room floors, walls of toilet compartments, and walls around urinals should conform with Section 1711 (a). This includes hotel toilet rooms since they are not considered dwelling units. 9. Shower stall walls should be finished with a hard, nonabsorbent surface to a height of 6 feet. Section 1711 (b). Fiberglass or other prefabricated finishes should be covered by a research rec- ommendation or complete justifying data under Section 106 should be submitted. 10. Doors and panels of shower and bathtub enclosure should comply . with Section 1711 (c) and (d). The thickness of glass should be specified. ,-... i__ . '. -3- 11.

(c) Electrical outlet boxes should be of steel and not greater than 16 square inches in area. 13. Acoustic tile and the suspension system used in the envelope system should conform to a specific research recommendation. . 14. The lobby-dining and banquet rooms should provide minimum circu- lated air of 15 cubic feet per minute per occupant. Section 605. . 15. An approved, conspiclJously marked, outside gas shutoff valve is required if gas is to be used in the bUilding. Section 708. 16. ~echanical ventilating system in baths of hotel rooms should pro- vide five air changes per hour directly to the outside. Section 1305 (a). Fan capacity should be specified. 17. Every guest room should have comfort heating facilities meeting the requirements of Section 1311. 18. Exits: (a) The two stairways adjacent to the two-hour area separation wall should have exiting on the ground floor leading directly to the outside. The exiting plan shown on Sheet No. 3 does not comply. Section 3308. (b) Occupant load signs are required in the dining and banquet rooms. Section 3301 (j), ,-" ^ ". -4- (c) Since no details regarding exit door hardware has been submitted the following comment applies: Exit doors should be openablefrom the inside without the use of a key, special knowledge, or effort. Section 3303 (c). Note also that surface mounted flush or surface bolts are prohibited. Automatic flush bolts are allowed on pairs of dOors provided the door with the flush bolt has no knobs or surface mounted hardware and the unlatching of any leaf requires only a single operation. (d) Doors piercing the two-hour area separation wall should be minimum labeled one and one-half-hour fire-resistive assem- blies. This applies to doors 101, 105, 126, 203,216, 303 and 310. See plan Sheets 3, 4 and 5 and Section 505 (c)-I. (e) Interior openings into corridors should be protected as set forth in Section 3304 (h). Twenty-n!inute rating for door assemblies requires compliance with a specific re- search recommendation or a labeled fire assembly. All doors opening into the corridor should comply.

Charles Vidal arrived. Con1mission agreet to meet at 4:00 p.m. for a field trip at the Durant parking lot before the meeting on Thursday. Hibberd stated that he would like the Co~~ission to come to agreement on Thursday whether or not he should do the entire project as one subdivision. Jenkins suggested the possibility of building their own reserve tank as one alter'native to the problem of water. Gillis stated that the Commission had taken a field trip to the site of the project. Sited three major problems: (1) Need an adequate cul_de_sac; (2) If they do provide one, they would be too close to the river; (3) the problem of access. Villa Phase II \J Jenkins stated that there was no space between that piece of property and the next, an no space in back. ;rhe Planning Office found that the parking and cir- v/culation were generally inadequate. Ms. Baer stated that the backing space is the bare minimum, and would create a major problem with snow and/or plants. Developer stated that there would be a park that would cover 1/3 acre. Also stated that the pro- ject would also provide two. parking spaces/unit. At this point the Comnlission listed there appre- hensions with the project: (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (6) (7) (8) Must provide an adequate cul-de-sac. Must provide a plan for an easement.

Baer stated that the Planning Office is satis- fied with the stream margin requests. Vice Chairman stated that he was concerned with any density which would effect the balance of the greenway. Felt the increased density would affect the river. Jack Jenkins stated that if all the lots were de_ veloped to that extent, the area would be unlivable. Should be looking at the long_term solution for that are~. Area resident George Hansfield stated that there are ..increased problems with parking and density with duplexes. Did not feel the problem ,vould be as great with single-family dwellings. Developer of Bay Street Estates pointed out that this would not be a typical duplex. There would be separate ownership for each side of the duplex. At this point, Hiller's attorney stated that they were just to be discussing the stream margin re- quest at this meeting. Remo Lavagnino, another area resident, stated'that he felt that the building of these duplexes would affect the stream margin request on the grounds of increased density. Felt it would affect the stream's important natural feature. It was pointed out that the Commission has to make their decision.

City Engineer David Ellis submitted the following recommendations to the Commission: 1) The major problem of the area. is the inadequate existing right-of-way. Dedication of land to provide for a 60' wide right-of-way will be required; this will amount to a strip approxi- mately 20' in width along the frontage. 2) The subdivider should be required to enter into a covenant running with the land to join any future storm drainage district or street im- provement district, including paving, sidewalks, and curb and gutter. 3) The building design and/or site plan should incorporate the capability for storm water retention. 4) The landscaping plan should essentially be the protection of existing trees and shrubsl This can be provided for on the'landscaping.notes included on the plat. 5) Aspen Metropolitan Sanitation District must be assured an easement for the existing sewer if they do not already have one. This would apply to any other ~xisting utilities. Fire Chief Willard Clapper stated that access is a problem and there is no turn-around available.

We are inclosing a preliminary map showing the areal extent of flooding on Castle Creek expected to occur near river mile 0.75. The area shaded in blue represents an Intermediate Regional Flood (a flood having a frequency of occurrence of about once in 100 years on the average though it may occur in any year). The area shaded in red delineates the lateral limits expected from a Standard Project Flood. A Standard Project Flood is a much larger but less frequent flood than an Intermediate Regional Flood. Water surface profiles showing the approximate water surface elevations for these two floods in the area near river mile 0.75 are also inclosed. The above information is based upon the studies made to date in connection with the Flood Plain Information Report for Aspen. Water surface elevations should be considered preliminary in nature until the report is published. We trust the above information will be satisfactory to your present needs. Sincerely yours, 2 Incl As stated jvll. Ab. GEORGE C. DELL .

I believe the OOllllllission should also take into consideration the fact that Phase I of the project has alreeAy radically increased the density of what has been essent.ial1,y a single c!,welling neighborhood. and that plans currently exist to 'replace the Villa of Aspen with another project which would further inc~se the density. If we wish to preael've at\)'t.hing of the em.rance to what.... once a Victorian town. or the l.m-eg1'ity of the Cast.le Creek bottomlands, I believe the line must be held on projects of this nature. s~re1Y. . /f/ ~~ ~ /' r BruceN.

Pertinent Background The Villa of Aspen has been a landmark motel in Aspen for many years. It consists of three buildings, two of which house 20 rental units each, for a total of 40 units.. The third building houses the manager's quarters, lounge & office. The motel is located On a prime piece of property bounded by Hallam Street On the north, 7th Street On the east, Bleeker Street On the south, with the Villa of Aspen Townhouses Phase I On the west. The significance of this motel and its location has commanded a substantial land value. A value which has been increasingly more difficult to support with the return from 40 rental units. Maintenance On this old establishment has pas sed the point of diminishing returns necessitating the consid'eration to replace the building. with a more substantial structure. In October of 1972 plans were initiated to turn this deteriorating investment into a profitable operation. The architectural firm of Swart & Associates, Inc. and the associate firm of Pelstick and Roslack were retained to prepare plans for a new convention center On this property. The substantial architectural and engineering fees incurred for designing the new facilities was an added burden to the already unprofitable Operation of the Villa of Aspen. The architectural fees were expenses considered by the owner to be a sound investment, with their decision to design a building which would be in total agreement with the existing building and zoning codes. The design, as well as the working drawings, for the convention center were substantially completed prior to information being issued on Ordinance 19 regarding the re- zoning of the City of Aspen. The completed working drawings and specifications were then finished prior to Ordinance 19 deadline and were submitted to the building inspector for a building permit. A year has passed in anticipation of a permit to start construction of a sound economic investment supported by the market demand study made by the noted firm of Harris, Kerr, Forster & Co. of Denver, Colorado and other principal cities. This study was conducted at an additional expense to the Villa of Aspen. In addition to the architectural, engineering and study costs, there has been subsequent attorney fees incurred to determine the -.. " ("*'\ ~ - 2- delay of a building permit being issued as well as the cost of the plan review fee charged by the City of Aspen. After reviewing Ordinance 19 and the Aspen Land Use Plan, the owners of the Villa of Aspen decided to pursue a course of action to provide multi-family housing in lieu of the proposed convention center to be in keeping with the interest and direc- tions of the City of Aspen. II Land Area and Units The land area contains 69,700 square feet On which can be placed 46 units of row houses at a density of 1,500 square feet per unit as per the zoning code for multi-family districts for the City of Aspen, III Proposed Plan Proposed as per the site plan and accompanying drawings are 29 townhouses for a density of 2,403 square feet of land per unit with parking for 51 cars. This is far in excess of the one parking space per unit required by code, but will assure total off street parking as well as prov'ide for ample site storage of snow, without a reduction below the minimum required number of parking spaces. The maximum height of the structure will be less than the 25 foot maximum allowed per code. The set backs will be in excess of the 10 foot for front yard and 5 foot for side ya;rds. The project will consist of 8 - 3 bedroom units of 1,152 square feet, not including the basement and 21 - 2 bedroom units of 1,024 square feet, not including the basement. Private conversation courts have been designed both at the front and rear of each unit, thus creating outside spaces for individual and l'amily activities. The enclosed court, created by the grouping of the buildings, will establish a play area for the children which will give the parents the security of knowing their children are isolated from the busy tourist traffic On Hallam and 7th Street. It is obvious more units could be included at a lower land cost per unit making for a more viable, economical project, but at a great sacrifice to the play area, the private spaces and the opportunity for games on the spacious, asphalt parking areas. It is proposed that landscape burns be created along Hallam Street to insure greater privacy and a substantial noise reduction fror.n traffic accelerating and braking while entering and leaving the City ~ -.. I'" """ . - 3- of Aspen. Such a project will provide the people of Aspen with much needed housing. Housing which will be close to the shopping centers, schools and will necessitate a minimum of automobile traffic for the residents of the complex.

The entire property (in red) is what is referred to as Exhibit "A" in the de<;:laration. Phase I did not fall under subdivision at the time it was built. Phase II is now being reviewed with a hearing date before P & Z of July 10. . Donna and I feel that because of the wording in the declaration, particularly Sec. 16, the entire area can be used for computation of the 4% open space requirement as though they were submitting the entire property. The developer has tried to make it appear that Phase II is distinctly separate from Phase I. We would like your opinion in the matter. r In addition, the City gave the developer the right to build 12 units after Phase I. This was done through the annexation agree- ment (8/14/72). If the proposed site plan or access is not adequate for these units., couldn't they be rejected irrespective of the agreement? ~~. ...." r ~/ .A ( ~ .,-.." CONCEPTUAL PRESENTATION VILLA OF ASPEN TOWNHOUSES pHASE I I I. pertinent Background. Prior to the construction of Phase I of the Villa of Aspen Townhouses project, the North Texas Millsite property (on which all of Phase II is located) was annexed to the City of Aspen, and the land rezoned AR-l, subject to the condition that the development proceed in accordance with the 48-unit site and landscaping plan filed with the City at that time. The first. 36 units were then constructed, and a Condominium Declaration placed of record covering the entire townhouse property. The Declaration recites that the completed project will consist of 48 units, and the interest of each phase I unit owner in the common elements is computed on the basis of 48 total units. These units were then sold, almost exclusively to permanent residents of the Aspen community, under contracts containing representations that the com~ed project would consist of 48 units. Amortization of land and other costs over 48 units enabled the developer to market the Phase I units at moderate prices. It is the purpose of this Ordinance 19 presentation, and of the subdividing process being con- ducted simultaneously herewith, to complete the townhouses development in accordance with the requirements established by the City at the time of annexation and rezoning, the contractual commitments previously entered into by the developer, and such other development standards as may be deemed appropriate by this body and by the City planning and Zoning Commission. On July 10, 197~, and again at a Study Session.on July 17, the preliminary subdivision plat for phase II was reviewed e' ,..._~" ._....._'~m.~,..~__ ..... "r"- ~." ~^ by the Planning and Zoning Commiss ion. By Memorandum dated July 18, 1973, the City Planning Office summarized the recommendations of that Office and of the Planning Commission with respect to the subject project. The Site Plan being submitted herewith has been substantially modified in order to comply with such recommendations. II. Land ftrea and Units. The parcel of land being subdivided for phase II contains 1.731 acres, or approximately' 74,865 square feet, on which will be placed 12 single family townhouse residential units. This results in one unit being developed for each 6,240 square feet of land. III. Access and Circulation. Access will be over the existing private road from the power House Road. This private access road will be paved to a width of 24 feet, as required by the City Engineer, and will be aligned, graded and cribbed y ~ ~ approved by the City, and it is therefore requested that all ~1"rSUCh approvals be expressly conditioned upon the developer's ~~ obtaining this easeme~ I Circulation has been markedly improved, particularly in accordance w.i th the profile attached to the Site plan submitted herewith.~he necessary easement over such private road cannot be obtained until the phase II project has been for service and emergency vehicles, by the creation of a complete turn-a-round at the end of the access road. The ~ fK radius of this turn-a-round is 50 feet, a dimension already approved by Fire Chief Clapper. Within the turn-a-round will be a landscaped sculpture garden. IV. Utilities. As requested by the City Engineer, water will be supplied through an 8 inch line buried in the access road and hook~d up to the new 16 inch line along the -2- r~ to ,-, ^ power Plant Road, and two 6 inch ~ire hydrants will be installed near the units. Electrical and telephone dis- tribution lines are already present on the property. A sewer line will also be buried in the access road and will intersect with the existing line in the power Plant Road. The gas lines installed during Phase I were designed to serve 48 units, and a main line was stubbed off at the crest of the embankment above phase II. The distribution line for phase II will be run underground down the scope from this point. V. Drainage. Curbing will be installed along the roadway to channel runoff water. The final subdivis ion ~Plat will recite the agreement of the developer and his ~~. successors in title to join future storm drainage or street ~ improvement districts affecting the subject property. VI. Playground. As a part of the Phase II development, a playground will be constructed at the southerly end of the subject property for the use o~ ,:}C children residing in the Villa of Aspen Townhouses. ~' . VII. Covenant Ensuring Long-Term Occupancy. In order place a covenant in each condominium unit deed requiring that leases be for a minimum of six (6) successive months. VIII. Park Site and Trails. The area designated on the Site Plan as a "Park Site" will either be added to the common elements under the Condominium Declaration, or dedicated to ~ the City, if the City so desires, for the use of the public. Since this parcel is still part of the County, it probably ought to be annexed to the City if it is to be used as a ) public park. The existing structure on this parcel will be -3- ".,.,....,..,...-'~-'............,.-_._'."..-~-".,.._...."..._'_...>"_... r f' I I I ( ~ ,-" removed by the developer before phase II is completed. Public trails will be dedicated on the final subdi- fJ't- vision plat (a) through the "Park Site", and (b) along the Sout h 1:D undary of the subject property, both as shown on. the Site Plan. , -4- .,~~..,..,..,..----_.~..._-~,"-,....

Under the exis- ting zoning for the subject property, there is no re- quirement that the proposed townhouses project be sub- mitted as a planned unit development. Moreover, since no zoning variances will be necessary, no meaningful purpose would appear to be served thereby. Under the City-wide rezoning plan which is currently being con- sidered by the City, however, it is proposed that a portion of the subject property be rezoned Multi- Family, MandatoryPUD, and the City Planning Depart- ment has recommended that the present subdivision application include a planned unit development appli- cation so as to resolve in advance any questions that might arise if such rezoning plan is actually adopted prior to final subdivision plat approval. This PUD application is being submitted in accordance with such recommendation. 2. Ownership. All of the land involved in the instant application is owned by The villa of Aspen, Inc., a Michigan. corporation. 3. Zoning and Density. At present all of the subject property is zoned AR-l Accommodations Recrea- tion - Urban, and 46 unlimited units would be permitted upon the approximately 1.6 acres (69,696 square feet) contained within said property. Under the Multi- Family designation which is proposed for the property, and the proposed related densities, 32 two-bedroom l__ """"'.~ ..-., .~ units will be permitted thereon. The instant appli- cation is for 32 two-bedroom townhouse units, and therefore falls within the use and density require- ments of both the existing zoning ~ the proposed down-zoning. 4. Construction Schedule. The applicant anti- cipates that construction of the proposed townhouses project will commence on or about April 1, 1975, and be completed by November 1, 1975. 5. Water and Sewer. The water and sewer lines which serve the existing 40-unit motel, manager's apartment and swimming pool will also be used to serve the proposed townhouses project. 6. Access. All vehicular access to the project will be from Bleeker Street. The applicant will not be directly responsible for improving existing roads or highways which adjoin the subject property, but will agree on the final subdivision plat to join any street improvement districts involving the subject property which may hereafter be formed.
