The property is zoned Service/Commercial/ Industrial. The use of a Veterinary Clinic is not listed in the Aspen Zoning Code. A description of the proposed use prepared by Dr. Dequine is attached. The Planning Office recommends that the Planning and Zoning Commission determine that this is a use by right in the S/C/I zone where no regular boarding of animals is permitted and outside runs are not provided. This application complies with these criteria. As a practical matter, in reviewing possible locations within the City for this use the Midland Building was determined to be of the more suitable sites in the City due to its distance from residential areas. The present office zone areas of the City contain numerous Multi-family and Single-family home sites. A Veterinary Clinic could cause a certain nuisance in these office areas. lmk .~ .-.. 11, 1977 Louis E. Dequine, DVM Box 10426 Aspen, Colo. 81611 Mr", Hal Clark Aspen/Pitkin ~Planning Office 112 South Galena Aspen, Colo. 81611 Dear Mr. Clark, : "t, I am applying to the Aspenr~nn~ng and Zoning Comission for approval for use as a Veterilj!ary clinic, a 750 sq. ft. area in the Midland building, located in the S~G~I district behind the county courthouse. A description of my intentions and a rough location and floor plan are attached. Sin'~ Louis E. Dequine, DVM '. -, - " ROARING FORK VETERINARY CLINIC The ROARING FORK VETERINARY CLINIC will be operated by Doctor Lou Dequine, DVM, and will offer coroplete surgical, diagnostic, X-ray, and hospitalization services for small animals at the Midland building office on Bleeker street. Some remodeling will be done on the existing space to create the hospital floor plan as~!!iown in the sketch. Adequate parking is available at the building and the Rio Grande lot is just 100 feet away. Parking should not be a problem anyway, as there are seldom more than two clients at the office at anyone time. Employees will eventually include one receptionist-tech- nician and part-time mainte.nance help. Office hours will probably be non-appointment for a period in the morning and then by appointment the rest of the day to allow the doctor to schedule surgery and large animal calls. Overnight holding of animals will be limited to surgical and intensive care patients, probably 3-4 animals at the most at any one time and usually only a couple. There will be no regular boarding of dogs at the clinic. The hospitaliza- tion area will be totally enclos,ed (it is actually inside) and well insulated against so1,ind. The aim of this clinic is to provide a complete and efficient small animal Veterinary service to residents of Aspen and the Roaring Fork Valley in a convenient Downtown location, and function as the office of operations for the mobile large animal service. ,--.. /,.-., ~ 6'" ~<, ,,~ ,''{(lit .
