RE: Lot Line Adjustment Application -Lots 14 & 15, Block 3, Aspen Grove Subdivision
Deaz Chris:
This letter contains the required information for the above application, and is the written
description of the proposal and explanation of how the proposal complies with the Aspen Land
Use Code requirements. The Applicants request an adjustment of the lot line between these two
adjoining lots. The proposed lot line adjustment will not change the land area of either parcel.
The joint applicants are Warren Fir, LLC and David Fir, LLC with regazd to Lot 14, and
Warren Redwood, LLC and David Redwood, LLC, with regazd to Lot 15 (collectively
"Applicants"). Applicants are all Colorado limited liability companies with an address of 595 S.
Broadway #200, Denver Colorado 80209. Our firm is authorized to act on Applicants' behalf
with regazd to the Property and this application. Copies of the letters authorizing our
representation are attached as Exhibits A and B. Please direct all correspondence with
Applicants to our firm and to my attention.
The subject property is located on McSkimming Rd. in the Aspen Grove Subdivision
within the City of Aspen. The parcels aze identified by parcel numbers 273717201004 (Lot 14)
and 273718101001 (Lot 15), and the legal description is: Lots 14 & 15, Block 3, Aspen Grove
Subdivision, City of Aspen, Pitkin County, Colorado. By this letter, our firm certifies Warren
Fir, LLC and David Fir, LLC are the fee owners of Lot 14, and Warren Redwood, LLC and
David Redwood, LLC, aze the fee owners of Lot 15. Copies of the vesting deeds are attached.
The purpose of the current request is: ~~*-~E~~ED
1. To create a useable building area in the southern azea of Lot 14; and APR 1 ~ 2007
BUILDING ~ N
Nf

Chris Bendon
City of Aspen, Community Development Director
April 10, 2007

2. To add a parking easement on Lot 15 for the benefit of Lot 14.
The physical constraints on both Lots make this adjustment necessazy. First, due to steep
slopes on the south side of Lot 15, access to that lot from its southwest boundazy on
McSkimming Rd. is not practicable. Second, the building azea on Lot 14 that would be
facilitated by the requested adjustment is a better, flatter building site than others on the Lot.
Third, the City has determined that the front Yazd set back will be measured from southernmost
point on Lot 14. This determination restricts the available space between the front yard set back
and a utility easement that prevents the placement of the home in the southeast corner of Lot 14.
The requested lot line adjustment would relieve this constraint.
Pursuant to Section 26.480.030 of the Aspen Land Use Code, lot line adjustments aze
exempt from subdivision review if they meet certain criteria. A lot line adjustment is an
administrative review by the Community Development Director. Section 26.480.040(A)
provides that, after an application for a lot line adjustment has been determined complete by the
Community Development Director, the Director shall approve, approve with conditions, or deny
the application.
Section 26.480.030 states:
An adjustment of a lot line between contiguous lots [is exempt] if all the following
conditions aze met:
a. It is demonstrated that the request is to correct an engineering or surveying error in a
recorded plat or is to permit an insubstantial boundazy change between adjacent
parcels; and
b. All landowners whose lot lines are being adjusted shall provide written consent to the
application; and
c. The corrected plat will meet the standazds of this chapter, and conform to the
requirements of this title, including the dimensional requirements of the zone district
in which the lots aze located, except in cases of an existing nonconforming lot, in
which the adjustment shall not increase the nonconformity of the lot. The plat shall be
submitted and recorded in the office of the Pitkin County Clerk and Recorder. Failure
to record the plat within a period of one hundred eighty (180) days following
approval shall render the plat invalid and reconsideration of the plat by the
Community Development Director will be required before its acceptance and
recording; and
d. It is demonstrated that the lot line adjustment will not affect the development rights,
including any increase in FAR or permitted density of the affected lots by providing
the opportunity to create a new lot for resale or development. A plat note will be
added to the corrected plat indicating the purpose of the lot line adjustment and the
recognition that no additional FAR will be allowed with the adjustment.
The present application meets each of the above criteria. Each section is addressed
below:
Chris Bendon
City of Aspen, Community Development Director
April 10, 2007
Page 3 of 3
a. The present application is to permit an insubstantial boundazy change between two
adjacent parcels. The request is that the two adjacent owners be permitted to
exchange a small portion of each of their pazcels along a common boundary. This is
demonstrated by the attached plat. The portions to be exchanged aze of equal size.
Therefore, the adjustment is an insubstantial boundazy change between adjacent
parcels, and does not affect the size of the lots, any develop rights, ,access or any
other significant aspect of the lots.
b. Both landowners whose lot lines are being adjusted have provided their consent to this
application, and that consent it demonstrated by the attached letters.
c. The proposed revised plat is attached to the application and meets all standards of the
Aspen Land Use Code, including the dimensional requirements of the zone district in
which the lots aze located. Both lots aze existing conforming lots and the adjustment
does not render either lot non-conforming. The plat will be submitted and recorded in
the office of the Pitkin County Clerk and Recorder after approval.
d. The lot line adjustment will not affect the development rights, including any increase
in FAR or permitted density of the affected lots, and will not create a new lot for
resale or development. A plat note has been included on the revised plat indicating
the purpose of the lot line adjustment and stating that no additional FAR will be
allowed by reason of the adjustment.
Based on the foregoing, this application meets all of the requirements of the Aspen Land
Use Code, and is an insubstantial modification of a boundary between to adjacent lots.
Therefore, Applicants request that the Director grant the requested lot line adjustment. If you
have any questions, or you require any additional information, please do not hesitate to contact
me. Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,

Agreement for Payment of City of Aspen Development Application Fees
CITY OF ASPEN (hereinafterCI'I'Y)and Warren Fir, LLC; David Fir, LLC; Warren Redwood, LLC;
(hereinafrer APPLICANT) AGREE AS FOLLOWS: and David Redwood, LLC
1. APPLICANT has submitted to CITY an application for
Lot Line Adjustment
(hereinafrer, THE PROJECT).
2. APPLICANT understands and agrees [hat City of Aspen Ordinance No. 48 (Series of
2006) establishes a fee structure for Land Use applications and the payment of all processing fees is a
condition precedent ro a determination of application completeness.
3. APPLICANT and CITY agree that because of the size, nature or scope of the proposed
project, it is not possible at this time to ascertain the full extent of the costs involved in processing [he
application. APPLICANT and CITY further agree that it is in [he interest of [he parties [ha[
APPLICANT make payment of an initial deposit and to thereafrer permit additional costs to be billed
to APPLICANT on a monthly basis. APPLICANT agrees additional costs may accrue following their
hearings and/or approvals. APPLICANT agrees he will be benefited by retaining greater cash liquidity
and will make additional payments upon notification by the CITY when they are necessary as costs are
incurred. CITY agrees it will be benefited through the greater certainty of recovering its full costs to
process APPLICANT'S application.
4. CITY and APPLICANT further agree that it is impracticable for CITY staff to
complete processing or present sufficient information to the Planning Commission and/or City Council
to enable the Planning Commission and/or City Council to make legally required findings for project
consideration, unless current billings are paid in full prior to decision.
5. Therefore, APPLICANT agrees that in consideration of the CITY's waiver of its right
to collect full fees prior to a determination of application completeness, APPLICANT shall pay an
initial deposit in the amount of $ 705 .00 which is for _ hours of Community
Development staff time, and if actual recorded costs exceed the initial deposit, APPLICANT shall pay
additional monthly billings to CITY to reimburse the CITY for the processing of the application
mentioned above, including postap oval review at a rate of $235.00 per planner hour over the initial
deposit. Such periodic payments shall be m ithin 30 days of the billing date. APPLICANT further
agrees that failure [o pay such accrued costs shall ands for suspe on of processing, and in no
case will building permits be issued until all costs associated case pr sing have been paid.

2. To add a parking easement on Lot 15 for the benefit of Lot 14.
The physical constraints on both Lots make this adjustment necessary. First, due to steep
slopes on the south side of Lot 15, access to that lot from its southwest boundazy on
McSkimming Rd. is not practicable. Second, the building azea on Lot 14 that would be
facilitated by the requested adjustment is a better, flatter building site than others on the Lot.
Third, the City has determined that the front yazd set back will be measured from southernmost
point on Lot 14. This determination restricts the available space between the front yard set back
and a utility easement that prevents the placement of the home in the southeast corner of Lot 14.
The requested lot line adjustment would relieve this constraint.
Pursuant to Section 26.480.030 of the Aspen Land Use Code, lot line adjustments are
exempt from subdivision review if they meet certain criteria. A lot line adjustment is an
administrative review by the Community Development Director. Section 26.480.040(A)
provides that, after an application for a lot line adjustment has been determined complete by the
Community Development Director, the Director shall approve, approve with conditions, or deny
the application.
Section 26.480.030 states:
An adjustment of a lot line between contiguous lots [is exempt] if all the following
conditions aze met:
a. It is demonstrated that the request is to correct an engineering or surveying error in a
recorded plat or is to permit an insubstantial boundary change between adjacent
parcels; and
b. All landowners whose lot lines are being adjusted shall provide written consent to the
application; and
c. The corrected plat will meet the standards of this chapter, and conform to the
requirements of this title, including the dimensional requirements of the zone district
in which the lots aze located, except in cases of an existing nonconforming lot, in
which the adjustment shall not increase the nonconformity of the lot. The plat shall be
submitted and recorded in the office of the Pitkin County Clerk and Recorder. Failure
to record the plat within a period of one hundred eighty (180) days following
approval shall render the plat invalid and reconsideration of the plat by the
Community Development Director will be required before its acceptance and
recording; and
d. It is demonstrated that the lot line adjustment will not affect the development rights,
including any increase in FAR or permitted density of the affected lots by providing
the opportunity to create a new lot for resale or development. A plat note will be
added to the corrected plat indicating the purpose of the lot line adjustment and the
recognition that no additional FAR will be allowed with the adjustment.
The present application meets each of the above criteria. Each section is addressed
below:

a. The present application is to permit an insubstantial boundary change between two
adjacent parcels. The request is that the two adjacent owners be permitted to
exchange a small portion of each of their pazcels along a common boundary. This is
demonstrated by the attached plat. The portions to be exchanged are of equal size.
Therefore, the adjustment is an insubstantial boundary change between adjacent
pazcels, and does not affect the size of the lots, any develop rights, ,access or any
other significant aspect of the lots.
b. Both landowners whose lot lines are being adjusted have provided their consent to this
application, and that consent it demonstrated by the attached letters.
c. The proposed revised plat is attached to the application and meets all standards of the
Aspen Land Use Code, including the dimensional requirements of the zone district in
which the lots are located. Both lots are existing conforming lots and the adjustment
does not render either lot non-conforming. The plat will be submitted and recorded in
the office of the Pitkin County Clerk and Recorder after approval.
d. The lot line adjustment will not affect the development rights, including any increase
in FAR or permitted density of the affected lots, and will not create a new lot for
resale or development. A plat note has been included on the revised plat indicating
the purpose of the lot line adjustment and stating that no additional FAR will be
allowed by reason of the adjustment.
Based on the foregoing, this application meets all of the requirements of the Aspen Land
Use Code, and is an insubstantial modification of a boundazy between to adjacent lots.
Therefore, Applicants request that the Director grant the requested lot line adjustment. If you
have any questions, or you require any additional information, please do not hesitate to contact
me. Thank you for your consideration.

1. APPLICANT has submitted to CITY an application for
Lot Line Adjustment
(hereinafter, THE PROJECT).
2. APPLICANT understands and agrees that City of Aspen Ordinance No. 48 (Series of
2006) establishes a fee structure for Land Use applications and the payment of all processing fees is a
condition precedent to a determination of application completeness.
3. APPLICANT and CITY agree that because of the size, nature or scope of [he proposed
project, it is not passible at this time to ascertain the full extent of the costs involved in processing the
application. APPLICANT and CITY further agree that it is in the interest of the parties that
APPLICANT make payment of an initial deposit and to thereafrer permit additional costs to be billed
to APPLICANT on a monthly basis. APPLICANT agrees additional costs may accrue following their
hearings and/or approvals. APPLICANT agrees he will be benefited by retaining greater cash liquidity
and will make additional payments upon notification by the CITY when they are necessary as costs are
incurred. CITY agrees it will be benefited through the greater certainty of recovering its full costs to
process APPLICANT'S application.
4. CITY and APPLICANT further agree that it is impracticable for CITY staff to
complete processing or present sufficient information to the Planning Commission and/or City Council
to enable the Planning Commission and/or City Council to make legally required findings for project
consideration, unless current billings are paid in full prior to decision.
5. Therefore, APPLICANT agrees that in consideration of the CITY's waiver of its right
to collect full fees prior to a determination of application completeness, APPLICANT shall pay an

mentioned above, including post app oval review at a rate of $235.00 per planner hour over the initial
deposit. Such periodic payments shall be m 'thin 30 days of the billing date. APPLICANT further
agrees [hat failure to pay such accrued costs shall ands for suspen~on of processing, and in no

CITY OF ASPEN(hereinafrerCITY)and Warren Fir, LLC; David Fir, LLC; Warren Redwood, LLC;
(hereinafrer APPLICANT) AGREE AS FOLLOWS: and David Redwood, LLC
1. APPLICANT has submitted to CITY an application for
Lot Line Adiustment
(hereinafter, THE PROJECT).
2. APPLICANT understands and agrees that City of Aspen Ordinance No. 48 (Series of
2006) establishes a fee structure for Land Use applications and the payment of all processing fees is a
condition precedent to a determination of application completeness.
3. APPLICANT and CITY agree that because of the size, nature or scope of the proposed
project, i[ is not possible a[ this time to ascertain the full extent of the costs involved in processing the
application. APPLICANT and CITY further agree that it is in [he interest of the parties that
APPLICANT make payment of an initial deposit and to thereafrer permit additional costs to be billed
to APPLICANT on a monthly basis. APPLICANT agrees additional costs may accrue following [heir
heazings and/or approvals. APPLICANT agrees he will be benefited by retaining greater cash liquidity
and will make additional payments upon notification by the CITY when they are necessary as costs are
incurred. CITY agrees it will be benefited through the greater certainty of recovering its full costs to
process APPLICANT'S application.
4. CITY and APPLICANT further agree that it is impracticable for CITY staff to
complete processing or present sufficient information to the Planning Commission and/or City Council
to enable the Planning Commission and/or City Council [o make legally required findings fox project
consideration, unless current billings are paid in full prior to decision.
5. Therefore, APPLICANT agrees that in consideration of the CITY's waiver of its right
to collect full fees prior to a determination of application completeness, APPLICANT shall pay an
initial deposit in the amount of $ 705.00 which is for _ hours of Community
Development staff time, and if actual recorded costs exceed the initial deposit, APPLICANT shall pay
additional monthly billings to CITY to reimburse the CITY for the processing of the application
mentioned above, including post'app oval review at a rate of $235.00 per planner hour over the initial
deposit. Such periodic payments shall be m ithin 30 days of the billing date. APPLICANT further
agrees that failure to pay such accrued costs shall ands for suspe on of processing, and in no
case will building permits be issued until all costs associated case pr • sing have been paid.
