DATE: ' September 1, 2000 SUMMARY: On behalf of Barbara Fleck (Applicant), Alice Davis of Davis Horn Inc. has applied for an Insubstantial Amendment to the Callahan Subdivision and Planned Unit Development (PUD) Agreement (Agreement). The Agreement between the City of Aspen and Benedict Land & Cattle Company, Frederick Benedict and Fabienne Benedict, and Robert S. Goldsamt, was signed by all parties on May 13, 1976. The purpose of the amendment is to clarify the intent and purpose of item 1G of the Agreement, which states: "Lots 12 and 12A are collectively designated as a single family lot. Lot 12A is the guesthouse for Lot 12." The Aspen Land Use Code has changed dramatically over the past 25 years. Several important provisions in the current Code did not exist when this Subdivision and PUD was approved, including floor area for the R-15 Zone District and Residential Design Standards. This amendment is intended to clarify how the current Land Use Code is applied to this parcel, Lots 12 and 12A. The Applicant proposes the following amendment to 1G: "Lots 12 and 12A of the Callahan Subdivision/PUD are collectively designated as a single family lot with the following restrictions and clarifications: 1. Lot 12A is the guesthouse for Lot 12. 2. Lots 12 and 12A must always be sold together as one lot and can never be sold separately. 0 3. The home on Lot 12 can contain no more than 6,731 square feet of floor area. The guesthouse can contain no more than 2,550 square feet of floor area. This allowed floor area for each use was determined using the current (2000) City of Aspen definition for how floor area is calculated. Any future changes to how floor area is calculated shall not impact the maximum allowed floor area for these two uses, the single family home and the guesthouse. 4. Both homes will be built within their respective building envelopes designated on Page 3 of the Callahan Subdivision Development Plan. 5. Lots 12 and 12A will be considered as one lot for the purposes of applying the Secondary Mass Design Review Standard. The guesthouse can serve as the secondary mass element for the main residence. 6. There is no guesthouse definition in the City of Aspen Land Use Regulations. The only existing limitation on the guesthouse is that it cannot be sold separately from the main residence. 7. An Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) can be located within the guesthouse." Staff believes the proposed amendment meets the review criteria for an insubstantial amendment, but proposes the following changes. Staff proposes deleting 6. and replacing the provision with the following language: 1. All provisions of the City of Aspen's Land Use Code shall be applied to Lots 12 and 12A as one parcel, unless otherwise stated in this amendment. Community Development staff recommends approval of the Insubstantial Amendment to the Callahan Subdivision/PUD, with the following changes described above.

A. PUD Insubstantial Amendments. An insubstantial amendment to an approved development order for a final development plan may be authorized by the Community Development Director. The following shall not be considered an insubstantial amendment: 1. A change in the use or character of the development. Staff Finding This amendment does not change the use or character of the allowed development on Lots 12 and 12A; rather, it clarifies the development potential for the parcel. The approved use and character of the development is low density residential with a house on Lot 12 and a guesthouse for Lot 12 on Lot 12A. 2. An increase by greater than three (3) percent in the overall coverage of structures on the land. Staff Finding Building envelopes have previously been established for Lots 12 and 12A. This amendment does not in any way change the approved building envelopes or overall coverage of structures on the land. 3. Any amendment that substantially increases trip generation rates of the proposed development, or the demand,for public facilities. am—" z Staff Finding .Mq 0 The proposed amendment will not increase trip generation rates. 21. az c F. .�W 4. A reduction by greater than three (3) percent of the approved open space. vzm a m Staff Finding � T Open space would not be reduced by the amendment. m we =m m 5. A reduction by greater than one (1) percent of the off- ffi�N astreet parking and loading space. � m Ol Ir1 /0 (O �r O �n 5 Staff Finding Off-street parking spaces would not be impacted by this amendment. 6. A reduction in required pavement widths or rights -of -way for streets and easements. Staff Finding No reduction in required pavement widths or rights -of -way for streets would be impacted by the proposals. 7. An increase of greater than two (2) percent in the approved gross leasable floor area of commercial buildings. Staff Finding This amendment concerns a residential use. Therefore, this standard is not applicable. 8. An increase by greater than one (1) percent in the approved residential density of the development. .11 Staff Finding Residential densities are not proposed to be changed. Allowing an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) in the guesthouse does not change the allowed density, but ADUs are not considered units of density. 9. Any change which is inconsistent with a condition or representation of the project's original approval or which requires granting a variation from the project's approved use or dimensional requirements. Staff Finding Staff believes the changes are consistent with the approved Callahan Subdivision/Planned Unit Development. 1111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 IN J147163 09/20/2000 08: 33A NOTICE DAVIS 6 of 6 R 0.00 D 0.00 N 0.00 PITKIN COUNTY Co 6 Davis Horn - PLANNING & REAL ESTATE CONSULTING August 14, 2000 Julie Ann Woods Nick Lelack City of Aspen Community Development Department 130 South Galena Street Aspen, CO. 81611 Dear Julie Ann and Nick: Davis Horn Incorporated represents Barbara Fleck, owner of Lots 12 and 12A of the Callahan Subdivision/PUD. On her behalf, this letter requests approval for an insubstantial amendment to the Callahan Subdivision/PUD pursuant to Section 26.445.100 of the Aspen Land Use Regulations entitled Amendment of PUD development order. This Code section gives nine review standards that define what shall not be considered an insubstantial amendment to a PUD. As our requested amendment does not fall within any of these standards, we request the Community Development Director's authorization for the approval of the proposed insubstantial amendment. Both of you along with Chris Bendon of the Community Development Department have suggested that this insubstantial amendment process would be the most effective, clean way to resolve the unclear issues pertaining to the development of Lots 12 and 12A. These issues were unforeseen during the original approval process in 1976 and confusion has grown over time with the adoption of new regulations that were not in place at the time of the original approvals. Due to the unique configuration and uses on Lots 12 and 12A, the Community Development staff and the applicant have agreed that everyone would be best served by seeking to define and clarify the development parameters for 12 and 12A so all parties understand and agree on how the properties will be used now and in the future. This letter will summarize our amendment request, give development parameters which would apply to Lots 12 and 12A and address Section 26.445.100 of the Land Use Regulations, the Code section which allows the Community Development Director to authorize the approval of an insubstantial amendment to a PUD. It may be helpful to refer to my July 19, 2000 letter to Chris Bendon and Nick Lelack which provides a history of the issues surrounding the subject property. Please include this letter in the file as background to this application. ALICE DAVIS, AICP S GLENN HORN, AICP 215 SOUTH MONARCH ST. • SUITE 104 • ASPEN, COLORADO 81611 • 970/925-6587 • FAX: 970/925-5180 0 9 PROPOSED INSUBSTANTIAL AMENDMENT The Callahan Subdivision/PUD was approved on February 23, 1976. The lots in question were platted and legally described as Lot 12 and Lot 12A as part of these original approvals. (See Attachment 1, Page 3 of the Callahan plat.) However, item 1G of the Callahan Subdivision and Development Agreement states: "Lots 12 and 12A are collectively designated as a single family lot. Lot 12A is the guesthouse for Lot 12." In order to clarify item 1G so that all parties understand the intent and purpose of this item as well as understand the uses and restrictions for Lots 12 and 12A, the following amendment to 1G of the Callahan Subdivision and Development Agreement is proposed: "Lots 12 and 12A of the Callahan Subdivision/PUD are collectively designated as one single family lot with the following restrictions and clarifications: 1. Lot 12A is the guesthouse for Lot 12. 2. Lot 12 and 12A must always be sold together as one lot and can never be sold separately. 3. The home on Lot 12 can contain no more than 6,731 square feet of floor area. The guesthouse can contain no more than 2550 square feet of floor area. This allowed floor area for each use was determined using the current (2000) City of Aspen definition for how floor area is calculated. Any future changes to how floor area is calculated shall not impact the maximum allowed floor area for these two uses, the single family home and the guesthouse. 4. Both homes will be built within their respective building envelopes designated on Page 3 of the Callahan Subdivision Development Plan. 5. Lots 12 and 12A will be considered as one lot for the purposes of applying the Secondary Mass Design Review Standard. The guesthouse can serve as the secondary mass element for the main residence. 6. There is no guesthouse definition in the City of Aspen Land Use Regulations. The only existing limitation on the guest- house is that it cannot be sold separately from the main residence. 7. An Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) can be located within the guesthouse. " E 0 • In #3 of the proposed amendment above, the floor area of 6,731 square feet for the main residence reflects the floor area currently allowed for a home in the R-15 zone district for a lot the size of Lot 12 as shown on the plat, 63,702 total square feet with an effective lot size of 56,589 square feet after reductions for slope. The floor area of 2575 square feet for the guest house reflects the size of the existing house now on Lot 12A which was built in 1977. This existing home on Lot 12A contains 3275 square feet of living area and approximately 2550 square feet of floor area, substantially smaller than the size allowed in the applicable R-15 zone district for a lot the size of Lot 12A. The building envelopes for Lots 12 and 12A referred to in #4 above, were approved as part of the original Callahan Subdivision/PUD and Stream Margin approvals granted in February, 1976. These building envelopes were also re -approved through the Stream Margin Amendment Process in 1999. Item #7 above allows an ADU to be located within the guesthouse. There is an existing 1500 square foot dwelling unit on the garden level of the guesthouse on Lot 12A. As part of a separate application, the applicant is proposing to convert this existing unit into an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) in order to obtain a Growth Management Exemption for the home to be built on Lot 12. If approved, we understand that this 1500 square foot existing ADU in the guesthouse can, at any time, be reduced to a smaller size as long as the unit is, at the least, of the minimum size required by the City of Aspen Land Use Regulations. (See Attachment 4, a floor plan for the existing unit.) At such time that the guesthouse and/or ADU is remodeled, rebuilt, substantially renovated or reconfigured, a new ADU restriction for the smaller ADU will override the original ADU restriction for the existing 1500 square foot unit. The new restriction will reflect the smaller unit size. This will allow the owners to continue to rent this larger, more desirable 1500 square foot unit as it currently exists without being penalized for not reducing the size at this time. We would also like to request that the approval of this larger ADU be contingent upon the owners obtaining a C.O. (Certificate of Occupancy) for the home on Lot 12. This contingency. unlike the typical building permit contingency, will not hold up the building permit process for the new residence. The unit is currently rented and housing two permanent employees who would be displaced if the unit were to be remodeled and reduced in size at this time. An application requesting approval for the ADU will be submitted within a few weeks after the submission of this insubstantial PUD amendment application. 3 0 REVIEW CRITERIA FOR INSUBSTANTIAL PUD AMENDMENTS Section 26.445.100 of the Aspen Land Use Regulations gives the following nine criteria for determining if a proposed PUD amendment is insubstantial. "The following shall not be considered an insubstantial amendment: A.1. A change in use or character of the development. A.2. An increase by greater than three (3) percent in the overall coverage of structures on the land. A.3. Any amendment that substantially increases trip generation rates of the proposed development, or the demand for public facilities. A.4. A reduction by greater than three (3) percent of the approved open space. A.S. A reduction by greater than one (1) percent of the off-street parking and loading space. A.6. A reduction in required pavement widths or rights -of -way for streets and easements. A.7. An increase of greater than two (2) percent in the approved gross leasable floor area of a commercial building. A.8. An increase by greater than one (1) percent in the approved residential density of the development. A.9. Any change which is inconsistent with a condition or representation of the project's original approval or which requires granting a further variation from the projects approved or dimensional requirements. The proposed PUD amendment does not fall under the above categories defining what is not an insubstantial amendment. The proposed amendment seeks to clarify confusion that has resulted from the original PUD approval in 1976 and does not change any aspect of the approval. The proposed insubstantial amendment does not change the use or character of the development (A.1), it does not increase the overall coverage of the structures on the land (A.2), it does not increase the trip generation rates of the development or the demand for public facilities (A.3), it does not reduce the percentage of open space (A.4), nor the off street parking (A.5), nor the pavement widths or rights of way for streets and easements (A.6). A-7 regarding an increase in gross leasable floor area does not apply as there is no commercial space involved. A.8 states that an insubstantial amendment cannot increase the approved residential density of the development and this proposal does not as the 4 guesthouse was originally approved in 1976 and the ADU does not count toward the density on the parcel. The insubstantial amendment proposed merely clarifies a condition that already exists and is in no way inconsistent with the original approvals. Therefore A.9 regarding a change inconsistent with the original PUD does not apply. As the proposed amendment does not fall under any of the nine review criteria above, it should be considered an insubstantial amendment. We therefore request the Community Development Director's authorization for this insubstantial amendment. The following attachments have been provided for your information: Attachment 1: Callahan Subdivision/PUD Final Development Plan, portion of Page 3 (recorded at Book 5, Page 9); Attachment 2: Site Improvement Survey for Lot 12; Attachment 3: Pages 1 through 3 of the 13 page Callahan Subdivision/PUD Agreement (See Item 1G, page 3); Attachment 4: Floor plan for the existing dwelling unit in the guesthouse to be converted to an ADU; Attachment 5: Survey (unsigned) showing Lots 12 and 12A with approved building envelopes; Attachment 6: Pre application conference summary sheet; Attachment 7: Authorization to represent letter from the owner; Attachment 8: Fee agreement; Attachment 9: Proof of ownership; and Attachment 10: Vicinity Map. In summary, this letter has requested approval for an insubstantial amendment to the Callahan Subdivision and Planned Unit Development, an amendment that seeks to clarify a condition from the original Subdivision/PUD approvals. We hope that we have addressed all your concerns. Please call if we have failed to address any of your concerns or if any other information is needed.

Specifically, we are requesting written confirmation that Lot 12 and Lot 12A of Callahan Subdivision/PUD are two separate lots for the purposes of calculating floor area and for applying all other pertinent Code regulations. This letter will present a historical perspective of land use issues pertaining to the Callahan Subdivisions/PUD. An understanding of this background is a critical consideration in determining the applicability of floor area requirements to Callahan Subdivision Lots 12 and 12A. Any interpretation pertaining to these lots must be made within the context of this historical perspective. After reviewing the historical record, interviewing persons involved in the original approvals and reviewing various staff interpretations, we believe that these two lots should be considered as one for floor area calculation purposes. This interpretation is the only fair and just interpretation given the history of the properties. The facts as set forth in this letter present an adequate rationale and justification for the interpretation that Lots 12 and 12A continue to be considered as two separate lots. As part of this research we have reviewed City Council minutes, Planning and Zoning Commission minutes, approval documents and staff memoranda related to the original Callahan Subdivision/PUD approvals in 1975 and 1976. We have also had discussions with people actually involved in the Callahan approvals in 1975-1976. These include: Bill Kane, former Aspen Pitkin County Planning Director and the Callahan Subdivision/PUD project planner for the City during the approval process; Andy Hecht, attorney for the developer of the Callahan Subdivision/PUD who processed the land use application on behalf of the developer and the Benedicts, ALICE DAVIS, AICP S GLENN HORN, AICP 215 SOUTH MONARCH ST. • SUITE 104 • ASPEN, COLORADO 81611 • 970/925-6587 • FAX: 970/925-5180 0 • the actual owners of the land which became the Callahan Sudivision/PUD; • Nick McGrath, a past and present attorney for the Benedicts who has worked extensively on various aspects of the property; • Pat Maddalone, the Benedict family's business manager and representative who supervised the planning and approval process for the Callahan Subdivision/PUD in 1975-1976 on behalf of the Benedicts; • Krystal Glenn, an employee of the Benedicts for 14 years for whom the guesthouse was intended when it was built; • Jessica Benedict Gordon, daughter of Fritz and Fabi Benedict who owned Lots 12 and 12A for about seven years prior to the sale to the current owner, Barbara Fleck; • Alan Richman, a land use planning consultant for the Benedicts who has researched the development potential of Lots 12 and 12A; and • Brooke Peterson, attorney for Barbara Fleck, the current property owner, who has researched various aspects of the property including the development potential of the two lots. The following information supports the conclusion that Lots 12 and 12A should be considered as two separate lots for determining floor area and other Code regulations. (1) Lot 12 and 12A were legally described as two separate lots and were approved with two separate building envelopes. The two separate building envelopes reflect separate setbacks, with setbacks being a zone district dimensional requirement of the City Land Use Code similar to a floor area ratio. Both of the lots as platted are similar in size to the other lots in the Callahan Subdivision/PUD. (2) In all the approval documents, staff memos, City Council and P&Z minutes, the Callahan Subdivision/PUD is described and summarized as containing 12 single family lots and one duplex lot. The 12 lots are listed in all the these documents several times as Lots #1 through #9, Lot # 11, Lot # 12 and Lot # 12A. Lot # 10 is the duplex lot. Lot 12 and Lot 12A are listed as separate lots. If Lot 12 and 12A were counted as one lot, there would only be I 1 single family lots and all documents and records show 12 single family lots. Bill Kane, Pat Maddalone, Jessica Benedict Gordon and Andy Hecht all remember that 12 single family lots were approved and that Lots 12 and 12A were always legally described and considered two separate lots as the plat shows. Please refer to Attachment 1, a Site Data Tabulation chart which is an exhibit to the approval documents for the Callahan Subdivision/PUD. -2- (3) Pat Maddalone, Jessica Benedict Gordon and Bill Kane also remember that the guesthouse and requirement that the lots be sold together was the idea of the Benedicts and Pat Maddalone as a compromise in establishing the density for the Subdivision. Originally around 34 lots were proposed for the Callahan Subdivision, but the approval process cut back the total number of lots to 12, with one lot being established as a guesthouse because the Benedicts had a use in mind for the guesthouse and did not mind a restriction that required Lots 12 and 12A to be sold together.. George and Krystal Glenn, long time employees of the Benedicts, were to live in the guesthouse and it was planned and approved with them in mind. They eventually retired from work with the Benedicts due to health reasons, before they could move in. Still, the Benedicts knew there would always be a similar couple to live in the guesthouse and for this reason they agreed to and even encouraged the guesthouse restriction. Krystal Glenn now lives in Parachute and was interviewed for this research. Bill Kane, Pat Maddalone and Jessica Benedict Gordon all concur that the guesthouse was approved to make the 12 unit density more acceptable to the City and because the Benedicts liked the idea of having a guesthouse. The Benedicts were generous people who encouraged the guesthouse restriction at the expense of a free market unit as they knew they could always use this house not only for guests and family members, but for their employees, other community employees, music students, extended family, etc. Over the years, the house has actually been used for such purposes. (4). The approved, recorded Callahan Subdivision/PUD plat shows that Lots 12 and 12A are two separate, legal lots and have been since they were created in 1976. The Subdivision and PUD Agreement between the developer and the City of Aspen also refers to both Lots 12 and 12A. With both the plat and agreement identifying two lots, everyone (including various owners, planners, attorneys, architects and surveyors) has always understood that the floor area for each lot would be calculated separately, especially given that there was no floor area regulation in existence at the time the Subdivision was created. (5) Item I of the Callahan Subdivision/PUD agreement reads as follows: "Lots 12 and 12A are collectively designated as a single-family lot. Lot 12A is the guesthouse for Lot 12" According to those involved, the original intent of item I in the Subdivision/PUD agreement was to address what uses could be developed on the properties. Item I was to prevent two free market single family homes from being built, one on each lot. It identified permitted uses as one single family house (Lot 12) and one guesthouse (Lot 12A) to always be sold together. Minutes and staff memos indicate that Item IG in the Callahan Subdivision/PUD agreement was first drafted as follows: "Lots 12 and 12A are designated as single family lots with a guesthouse." No discussion of why this draft language was changed was found in the minutes. As first drafted, the language was misleading because it indicated that two free market houses, each with a guesthouse, would be allowed. The language appears to have been changed to make -3 - • 0 the restriction more clear as to what uses were allowed, one free market lot (Lot 12) and one lot with a guesthouse (Lot 12A). This strengthens the argument that the original intent of the restriction was to deal with what uses were to be developed on the parcels, not the application of Code requirements such as a floor area ratio. (6) There were no floor area requirements in the applicable R-15 zone district or any residential zone districts in the City of Aspen when the final approvals were given for the Callahan Subdivision/PUD on February 23, 1976. If floor area ratios did not exist, then the original intent of any condition of approval could not have applied to floor area. This means that Item I G of the Subdivision PUD Agreement quoted in #5 above would not apply to a floor area requirement since such a requirement did not exist. Floor area was not an issue in the entire approval process for the 12 single family lots in the Callahan Subdivision according to Bill Kane, Jessica Benedict Gordon, Andy Hecht, Pat Maddalone and the Council and P&Z minutes. According to these sources, size and floor area were discussed as part of the approval process for the condominiums in the Aspen Club which were a part of the Callahan PUD, but not for the single family lots. Therefore, we believe nothing in the 1976 approval documents pertaining to the subject lots 12 and 12A or any other Callahan single family lot, was intended to apply to floor area regulations. Please refer to Attachment 2, a copy of the area and bulk requirements in effect at the time of the Callahan approvals in 1976 for the applicable R-15 zone district. This table shows there was no floor area requirement in the R-15 zone at that time. Kathryn Koch, City Clerk verified this and found that the first residential floor area regulations came into effect under Ordinance 11 of 1982. (In 1976 the RMF zone district had a 1:1 floor area ratio for office and boarding house uses only.) (7) Several interpretations have been made over the past one and a half years by the Community Development Department indicating to the owners of Lot 12 and 12A and the owner's representatives, that Lots 12 and 12A can be considered as two separate lots. These interpretations have been relied upon by all concerned. On several occasions we were told that Lots 12 and 12A could be considered as two separate lots, as long as we were consistent and did not consider them as one lot for one regulation and two lots for another. These interpretations were not in writing, but were verbal answers to various questions asked of the Community Development Department over time in discussions regarding the following issues: • The Stream Margin Amendment process for Lot 12; • The potential redevelopment of Lot 12A at some point in the future; • The ADU for Lot 12 being located on the contiguous Lot 12A; • The ADU required for a growth management exemption for Lot 12 and the possibility that it could be located in the home on Lot 12A,- 0 The guesthouse restriction for Lot 12A; -4- • How a lot line adjustment between Lots 12 and 12A could not affect (increase or decrease) the floor area allowed on the two lots; and • A variance from the secondary mass Design Review Standard. Although all of these discussions determined that the lots could be considered as two separate lots, the issue of floor area was specifically mentioned in a few of these instances. These include the Stream Margin Amendment Review when an attempt was made to establish the allowable floor area, during the discussion on a lot line adjustment's affect on floor area and when it was asked whether we could consider the lots one large lot for secondary mass purposes and still consider them as two lots for floor area calculations. Several times the Community Development Department reiterated that we could not mix interpretations, but we should stick to one interpretation. As long as we were consistent, we could use whichever interpretation was most beneficial. At no time over the past one and a half years or even since the lots were approved in 1976 was it ever indicated by the Community Development Department that the lots could not be considered as two separate lots. Given this Community Development Department position, the present owner has considered the lots as two separate lots for its planning purposes. The possibility of considering the lots as one larger lot was first brought up by the Community Development Department in mid June, 2000 after years of planning and expense based upon the two lot interpretations. (8) John Case as attorney for Jessica Benedict Gordon, the previous owner of Lots 12 and 12A, wrote a letter to the City asking for clarification of the meaning of "certain limitations of record regarding these lots" including Item I G in the Callahan Subdivision/PUD agreement. Item IG deals with the guesthouse requirement and the requirement that the two lots to be sold as one. (See #5 on page 3 which quotes Item 1G from the agreement.) In the Community Development Department's letter responding to the request for clarification of Item 1 G, there was no mention of Item 1 G applying to floor area requirements or any other dimensional requirement. Please refer to Attachment 3, this clarification letter from Stan Clausen to John Case. Also attached is John Case's letter requesting clarification of the limitations of record. According to Jessica Benedict Gordon, one of the purposes of having John Case ask for this clarification letter from the Community Development Department, was to determine if the lots could be considered two for floor area purposes. There was no mention in Stan Clausen's clarification letter that the lots could not be considered as two separate lots, but Stan's letter definitely implies that they could be considered as two lots when he states "it appears that Lot 12 and 12A were platted as individual lots". (9) The Community Development Department has considered Lots 12 and 12A as two separate lots. This gives reliance not only to the owners and their representatives, but to the public that the lots are separate, legal lots which would have floor area ratios applied separately. -5- For example, only Lot 12 was included in the Stream Margin Review Amendment in 1999. The approval document is titled "Lot 12, Callahan Subdivision, Stream Margin Review Amendment". Lot 12A was not included. Therefore Code provisions pertaining to Stream Margin were applied to Lot 12, separate from Lot 12A. It would be consistent to apply all provisions of the Code to each of the two lots. Also, the Community Development Department considered the lots separately in 1976 during the original Stream Margin Review for Lot 12 and the other Callahan lots with river frontage, while Lot 12A and the other lots without river frontage were not part of the Stream Margin Review. The two approved building envelopes also have given the owners reliance that the City considers these lots as two for purposes of development. The building envelopes were approved in 1976 and again in 1999 for Lot 12. The letter from Stan Clausen, formerly of the Community Development Department, clarifying the guesthouse restriction for John Case, attorney for the property owners, indicates that "it appears that Lots 12 and 12A were platted as individual lots". Individual platted lots implies individual floor area calculations. (10) In the Stream Margin Amendment approval document, the summary states "The "guesthouse" does not affect the primary use or density of the property as a single family residence." If the guesthouse does not affect the primary use (the main residence on Lot 12) then the floor area should be calculated on each of the two separate lots so that the guesthouse does not affect the primary use. Considering them as one lot would dramatically affect the primary single family use of the property. (11) The Stream Margin Amendment approval includes the following Condition 91: "1. The areas within Lots 12 and 12A described as "limit of proposed building site" on sheet 3 of the Final Plat and Development Plan for the Callahan Subdivision shall be the building envelopes for the respective parcels. The lots may be developed in conformance with the Moderate Density Residential (R-15) Zone District provisions, as amended. "... This clearly suggests that the two can be developed as separate, respective parcels according to the provisions of the R-15 zone district (such as the floor area requirement). During this 1999 Stream Margin Amendment process when we were trying to clear up all the issues pertaining to the subject properties, the owner/applicant was not asked to clear up any ambiguities regarding the status of the lots. When we attempted to add in a condition to the Stream Margin Amendment approval regarding the floor area, it was removed as it was inappropriate to give a specific number for the allowable floor area in a condition of approval. It is our understanding that this Condition #1 to the Stream Margin Amendment approval (" The lots may be developed in conformance with the Moderate Density Residential (R-15) Zone 02 0 District provisions, as amended.") was added to the approval in order to state that the lots were two respective lots for applying the provisions of the R-15 zone district, including the floor area ratio, instead of stating a specific allowable floor area. (12) The owners of Lot 12 and 12A (past and current) have all relied upon the lots being considered two separate lots. The original owners Fritz and Fabi Benedict, Jesse Benedict Gordon their daughter who owned the property after the Benedicts and their many consultants (including several land use planners, attorneys, realtors and the property surveyors), and the current owners and their consultants, have been operating over the years under the belief that the two legal lots are considered two for the purposes of calculating floor area. In the many years of owning or working on various aspects of the property, no one has come across an interpretation by the City or anyone else that these two platted lots have to be considered as one and should not be considered as two lots for the purposes of calculating floor area. The property was part of a very thorough City Subdivision/PUD and Stream Margin review in 1975-76 when all applicable existing City regulations were applied to Lots 12 and 12A and to the rest of the lots in the Callahan Subdivision/PUD. No approval document from this extensive review mentions that these two platted lots cannot be considered as two for purposes of applying area and bulk requirements (setbacks, height, minimum lot size, lot width, etc., now referred to as dimensional requirements and now including a floor area ratio adopted in 1982.) In 1998 and again in 1999 when this property was extensively investigated by two different owners and two separate groups of consultants, no one was ever told by City staff that Lots 12 and 12A had to be considered as one lot for floor area purposes, but all were told that they could be considered as two lots for floor area calculation purposes and for the application of other Code regulations. The suggestion that the lots might be considered as one for floor area calculation purposes was first heard by the owners' architects, (Jeffrey Hancock of Trown and Associates) from City Planner Nick Lelack in mid June, 2000 after years of reliance on the interpretation that they could be considered as two lots for floor area calculations purposes. In summary, history, original intent, various staff interpretations, reliance and fairness are all reasons to confirm the position that these two legal lots be considered as two for purposes of calculating floor area and other Code requirements. There is no adverse impact, disadvantage or precedent to making this interpretation which would be contrary to the public good. The two lots are similar in size to the other lots in the neighborhood. The proposed improvements on Lot 12 would not be visible from nearby Highway 82 and in fact, the improvements would barely be visible by anyone except people in one adjacent home. The home on Lot 12 would be within the height and floor area limitation of the R-15 zone district for a lot the size of Lot 12 and would be within the boundaries of the small building envelope approved for Lot 12 in 1976 and again in 1999. The existing guesthouse on Lot 12A complies with the provisions of the R-15 zone district and any future changes to the guesthouse would as well. -7- 0 0 Thank you for your consideration of this matter.

CO 81612 Re: Lot 12 and 12A, Callahan Subdivision Dear Mr. Case: ATTACHMENT 3 AsPEN • PinQN CO)IMLNmDE%'ELCP%WT DEPARi.mvr In response to your June 12. 1998. letter in which you request a determination on the nature of Lots 12 and 12A of the Callahan Subdivision and for the term '`guesthouse" as used in the Subdivision Agreement. I offer the following comments: It appears that Lots 12 and 1''A were platted as individual lots. However. the Subdivision agreement specifically refers to these lots as "collectively designated as a single family lot." Lots 12 and 12A are one lot for the purpose of one single family residence. Lot 12A is described in the Subdivision agreement as "the guesthouse for Lot 12." You correctly noted that the City Land Use Code does not currently, nor did it at the time of this subdivision. contain a definition of a "guesthouse." I would suggest, however. that based on the language contained within the subdivision agreement and the common understanding of the term "guesthouse." two current definitions loosely apply — Accessory Use or Structure and Accessory Dwelling -Unit. The Accessory Use or Structure definitions limits to the Guesthouse to being on the same parcel and subordinate in character to the primary use - the principal residence. The Accessory Dwelling Unit definition allows the guesthouse to function as a dwelling unit and does not affect the primary use or- density of the parcel for a single-family residence. To maintain this guesthouse as accessory to the principal residence, the structure cannot become available for separate sale and shall remain as part of the combined Lot 12 and 12A. This also prevents condominiumization of the property into separate interests. The eventual developer of Lot' 12 should be aware of the need for a Growth Management Allotment for a new home. This normally includes a full review by City Council and competing for yearly development rights. However, the parcel was subdivided prior to the 1977 initial year of growth management, and may qualify for an exemption from this process provided if the developer either provides an Accessory Dwelling Unit. deed 130 SuVTH GALENA STREET AsnN, COLORADO 81611.1973 PHONE 970.920.=090 FAx 970,920.5439 • 0 restricts the principal residence to affordable housing guidelines, or provides a payment - in -lieu based on the newly constructed square footage. The existing guesthouse may be `converted' to an Accessory Dwelling Unit for this purpose with Conditional Use approval.

Ms. Benedict Gordon is the record owner of Lots 12 and 12A of the Callahan Subdivision, which she received as gift conveyances from her parents. Ms. Benedict Gordon lives in a house an Lot 12A that, according to the records of the Pitkin County Assessor, was built in 1977. Lot 12 is vacant. Both lots are conforming -sized lots of record in the R-15 zone district. We seek your determination regarding certain limitations of record regarding these lots. Following is the relevant background information for your consideration of this matter. i Background i Attached are copies of the Final Plat and the Development Plan for the Callahan Subdivision (recorded in Book 5, Pages 7 and 9, respectively, of the Pitkin County Records). The Final Plat designates Lots 12 and 12 A as separate lots. Lou 12 and I2A are also individually listed in the dedication language contained on the Final Plat. The Final Plat does not contain any language that would appear to limit the development of eitheri lot. The Development Plan depicts the designated building envelopes for both lots (labeled ';'limits of proposed budding site"). The building envelope on Lot 12A corresponds precisely to where the house was built on Lot 12A just one year after the Plat and Agreement were recorded, while the building envelope on Lot 12 corresponds to that portion of the lot that appears to be most appropriate for development at this time. I have also attached a copy of the Subdivision and Planned Unit Development Agreement for the Callahan Subdivision (dated May, 1976 and recorded at Book 312, Page 100 et. seq. of the Pitkin County Records). This Agreement establishes certain additional limitations on the use of lots within. the Subdivision/PUD. Paragraph 1.G. of the Agreement, which provides the sole limitations in the entire document that refer to the subject lots, reads as rollows: �1 • Mr. John Worcester June 12, 1998 Page Two "G. Lots 12 and 12-A are collectively designated as a single-family lot. Lot 12- A is the guesthouse for Lot 12." My reading of this language is that it expressly provides that Lots 12 and 12A may contain a single-family residence and a guesthouse. Unfortunately, neither the Agreement nor the Aspen Municipal Code, as it was in effect in 1976 and as written today, provide a definition for the term "guesthouse". Ms. Benedict Gordon seeks your determination of the meaning of the term "guesthouse" as it applies to these lots. It is our position that the RnTlinii a� that should apply is that Lots 12 and 12A would need to remain in common ownership, so that the guesthouse on Lot 12A could remain tied to the principal residence on Lot 12. We would appreciate your prompt written response to this matter, as it. has important iamifications on the estate of Ms. Gordon's parents. I will call you after you have had a chance to review this material, to see if there is anything else you need to make this determination and to see if we need to meet to review this matter. Please feel free to contact me directly if there is anything else I can provide to you. Very trul Wo , John .

Barbara F1ecR May 25, 1999. Page 2 EXISTING CONDITIONS ' The subject site i6 located in the Callahan Subdivision, a subdivision approved by the City of Aspen in 1976. The Subdivision Plat is recorded with the Clerk and Recorders office at gook 5, Pages 7 through 10. Page 3 of the recorded subdivision plat is the development plan. The development plan shows two approved. building envelopes, one.each For Lot 12 and 12A. The' house which was built on Lot 12A'closely follows the approved building envelope. The approved building envelope on Lot 12 was determined through the subdivision process as well as through a Stream Margin Review. Stream Maf,gin,approval was granted January 20, 1976. (See Attachment 1, Planning and Zoning Commission minutes from 1/20/76.) A Stream Margin Review was required due to the lot's location adjacent to the Roaring Fork River and its f1cod plain and this review process determines a building envelope appropriate for development after considering the floodplain issues, environmental and safety concerns. According to .information from Alpine Surveys, callahbn Lot 12 contains 63,102 square feet and Lot 12A contains 19,369 square feet with an additional 9,245 square feet of open space for Lot 12A. (see Attachment 2, Alpine'Survey's slope analysis.) Based upon Alpine Survey's slope analysis of the, land area, for the purposes of calculating floor area, the effoc�ive lot sire of Lot 12 is 56',589 square feet and Lot 12A is 14616 square feet. Consider]nq the :lour area allowed in the applicably: R-15 zone district, the floor area allowed for Lot 12 is 6,731 square feet and for Lot 12A is 4,473 square feet. + According to the Subdivision covenants for the Callahan Subdivision, Lots 12 and 12A mugt be sold as one; the two lots cannot be sold separately.

LAND USE REVIEWS Our review of the subject property and the'City of Aspen hand Use kegulations indicate that the subject Lot 12 should qualify for a Comsrainity Development Director Exemption from Residential Growth Management pursuant to Section 26.100,050.A.2.c. This request can be granted at the building permit stage or simultaneously with any.:other land use approval. A requirement of the Growth Management Exemption under 29.100.05Q.A.2.c. specified above, is that, -the owner must meet one of the following three options: 1. provide an accessory dwelling unit; 2. Pay the applicable affordable housing impact fee; or 3. Record a resident occupancy deed restriction for the single family dwelling unit being constructed. Housing impact fees were recently increased and an approximate fee for Lot 12 would be $287,200, Option 3, recording a resident occupancy dead restriction on the home, would eliminate the: free market status of the lot. Option 1, the provision of an accessory dwelling unit (ADTJ) is the least impactive option. As we verified with Chris Bandon of the Community Development Depar.tmQnt; the required ADU could be located within the home on Lot 12A. The ADU must be at least 300 square feet and no larger than 700, square feet .in size. The garden:leve.l of the existing home on Lot 12A is 1509 square feet according to the Pitkin County Asswssor's Office, Between 300 and 700 square feet of this area could be converted into a separate dwelling and then be restricted for the ADU. with planning and Zoni:ig Commission approval, in area larger than the maximum 700 square feet, oven the entire floor of 1509 5,quare; feet, could be utI1ize;d (arid restricted) as the ADU. 11 ,,MAY. 18. 2000 5:'2PM ROBERT TROWN & ASSOC N0, 953 P. 5— _ __ harn 226 6180 P.O4 Barbara Flack May 25, 1999 Page 4 The ADU must be approved through the Conditional Use Review process, a one step review and public hearing before the Planning and Zoning Commission. The request for Conditional Use approval must demonstrate compliance with several standards in the Land Use Regulations, These standards address such issues as consistency with the Aspen Area Community Plan and compatibility with the'uzes and the character in the surrounding area. Impacts would be minimal for an. ADU in the'.existing structure as the Space. and its impacts.already exists, The ADU must have its own entrance, separate from the primary residence. When the ADU is rented, it must be rented to a full time local Pitkin County resident. At this time, rental of the unit is optional, though the City of Aspen has often considered a Code change which would impose a mandatory rental requirement. The optional rental could change at some time in the future. However, `if' an ADU is approved and developed under the current re gulatio'hs.,'new regulations would not affect the ADU. Resi Review is required for ''he'development of times in the As n ng t e -1'5B zone ). This. several design standards which must.'be considered in the deesi'"p of a home and compliance is determined through a Developripnt Order Application submitted to the Community Development Department. If there is another land use approval being requested (such as a Conditional [Ise Review for the ADU discussed above) then the Residential Design Review could proceed simultaneously with that review, The design Standards in the Residential Design Review were created wi,tli to -town City towLISite lots in mind. The design standards are not as applicable when applied to larger, treed, irregulsx ena__,�Vural lots such as the subject Lot 12. .any of the design,Standards can be wei arso pproval body (the: Design Review Appeal COMmittee or the. Planning and Zoning commission) determines that the standard does;not apply or if the development would be enhpn.ced if' the atandird'is not followed. Therefore'. you may want to request a waiver or variance from several. 'or many of the riesign 'standards.

At any time in the future if the home on Lot 12A is to be redeveloped or expanded, Residential Design Review Standards must be met or, waived for the development orn that lot as well, The Callahan Subdivision is a signed and recorded subdivision of record. Stream Margin approval was granted and a building envelope identified for Lots 12 and 12A in.January, 1976, We believe no Further Stream Margin Review should be required for _ Lots 12 due to ita location in this record-d Subdivision, a subdivision which is fully vested due to thu million of dollars of improvements made since the approval. H2LwjvP_r1 the City Attorney; John Worc r and ChtisHe don t'�ie 'C'ity pl'$n er war on E? case, have tak a position that the development of Lots l should be subject to the new requirements of Stream Margin Review which were not in effect at the time of the original approval. Td that several of the requirements are not applica'Ke-due to the —nature of the Subject sit*. Specificaily, the progressive height limit and top Of slope Attack of 15 fpet are not appropriate as there is no real top of, slope to base these limitations upon. As these restri'Ctioris would render the lot unusable, Chi -is and John agreed they ware rift applicable. Chris SeAdon, John Worcester, Brooke Peter,' �on,.and I have agreed upon conditions to -be placed upon a new, 1.999"Stroam Margin Review approval. Although we do not belie,4e *,new review should be necessary, the conditions are riot onerCUs and Ltierefore, the staff level approval is acceptable. It is oertainl,y preferable to a full. Stream Margin Review whieli is c:aitly, time (;onniaming and risky.

We are awaiting this letter and will forward it on as soon as we receive it.

We are staying on top of this issue and hope' to have the letter soon. i OTHER 'ISSUES According to a restriction to the benefit Of Lot 11, Callahan Subdivision which is next door to the subject property, there is a height limit of (z'57)feet on the home to be built on Lot 1.2 . At -the time this restric'60n was lacad on Lot 12, the heiglit limit in the R-15 zone district was 28 reef However, the height limit in the zone is now ;5 feet, n different from that placed on the property ;by the private restriction Thei fore this restriction has no real u.aloe or meaning anymore. This R-15 height limit of 25 feet in combination with the relatively small building envelope limit the design possibilities -' of a home on Lot 12, As Robert Trown has identified, issues regarding insurance for homes with lowar basement levels built so close to the floodplain may he a Further concern. T know you and Robert Trown are aware that these limitations need to be fully analyzed .and understood during this due diligence period. You asked about the benefits of buying Lot 11 adjacent to the subject Lot 12. Althoi,igh yogi could add to the rloor area allowed for a home on Lot 11 to that allowed for Lot 12, Lho constraints Of Lot, 1.219 building envelope size, basement insurance concerns and the zone district's 2S foot height liT>it .all limit the floor area which can be physically bui.it on the Site. Robert Trown could Clive you information on what the maximum site home is that "Ould be built within the building envelope to determine the feasibility of building a house larger than the 6,731 square Feet already allowed. The Advantage of buying .lot 11 to remove the height restriction is ro longer valid sine the zone district height limit is the same, 25 feet. Expansion of the existing approved building envelope on Lot 12 would be veZY difficult. A now, full Stream Margin Review would be required. In Our urtimat•ion, due to tree floodplaic-1, riparian and wetland concerns on and near the site, a regUASt to expand or tnOve the. enveloPP would be unsucCrssrul.

A Stream Margin Review approval. We beliQvc we will have a new 1999 Stream Margin amended approval in place soon, hopefully by the end of this week. Althot,igh the conditions of this approval should not be too onerous, we have not yet seen the actual letter of approval and conditions on the approval. We hope to, have this letter before Friday when hhc, due diligence period expires. 2. A Growth Management Examption from the Community Development Department Director. This will=.take place at the building permit stage, unless another application (such as N3 below) is requested, then the two requests c:an'proceed • simultaneously. 3. -A conditional Use Review for the Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) is required for the Growth Management Exemption in 42 above. The Conditional Use review is a public hearing and specific Public notice requirements must be met. The. ADU can be within tho existing home on Lot 12A or within the new home on Lot 12A. If the ent.ix a garden level of the existing horns; on Lot 12A is used for;the ADU, a request to Expand the ADU beyond the 700 square foot maxim= size allowed for an Am would by needed. Both the.,ADU and the size expansion request should be successful. The Condttion,41 Use Review process takes apprgximaCely three to four months from the date of submission of''an ,'.applicat.ion. Davis Horn 'Inc. would be happy to help you ,wi.th this approval if you decide 'to proceed with the purrha,se of,'the property and the ADU 'apprbval.

We Feel many of the design standards are not applicable to this lot and several design waivers may be needed or desirable. Each individual standard must be met or waived. Although it is our opinion that you would be successful in either meeting or waiving each of the standards, Robert Trown should more thoroughly identify the impact, if any, of each of the standards on the design of a home. He should also deterraine how • negative an impact any given standard would be if a waiver was needed &�,could not be obtained. Disc:ussioaiis' with Chris 8endon indicate that he agr.pes that these standards are not as applicable for lots outside the original Aspen Townsite. Still, the proces3 of requesting a waiver has to be completed, if a variance from any design standard is desired, Davie Horn would be happy to work with Rob*rt,,Trown if you decide to pursue to property and these variances.',' Comments in'tl,is letter are based upon our understanding of the City of Aspen Land Use Regulations and discussions with the Aspen Pitkin County Community Development Department staff.

The owner shall retain a non-exclusive cost-free easement on Crystal Lake Road for access, ingress, and egress to and from Lots 11, 12 and 12-A. Ownership of those lots is being retained by the owner. J. Easements for utility improvements and rights of way shall be granted to the Public Utilities as shown on the Plat. K. Maintenance of the property and structures in- cluded within the Plat shall be the responsibility of the owners of the fee simple title to such property and improvements; provided, however, when hereunder any easement is granted with respect to any such land or improvement, the cost of maintenance shall be borne by all grantees of such easements. L. The City shall provide up to a maximum of 0.65 cfs. of water as needed from the Nellie Bird Ditch as hereinafter set forth in Paragraph 8(e)(1) for the maintenance of a water level not lower than the lowest water level in Crystal Lake as shown on Page 3 of the Plat. The Holding Corporation or a corporation controlled by or under common control with the Holding Corporation or its or their assignees, shall make provision for supplying such water to Crystal Lake in order to insure its use for recreational activity. 2. Subject to the conditions contained in this paragraph, the subdivider shall provide for the estimated costs for construc- tion of all common improvements which include construction of roads, utilities, drainage improvements, landscaping, moving and paving if required by subdivider (the recreational trail), as described in the agreement between Pitkin County and Benedicts and irrigation ditch crossings through the subdivision as shown on the Plat and supplemental engineering plans. Also included shall be street lighting -4- • 800K X2 PAu 114 sufficient to illuminate subdivision roads and traffic signs to comply with City regulations. The installation of those improve- ments shall commence in the spring of the year in which construction on Lots 13, 13A or 15 is to commence hereunder, or any homesites are sold, whichever event occurs sooner, and shall be constructed with due diligence thereafter until completed. In order to secure the performance of the construction and installation of the improvements herein agreed to by the subdivider and the City, and to guarantee one hundred (100%) percent of the current estimated cost of the improvements agreed by the City Engineer to be $ 271,000.00 the subdivider shall guarantee through a conventional lender, or by sight draft or letter of commitment from a financially responsible lender (irrevocable until the construction is completed) that funds of the estimated costs of construction are held by it for the account of the subdivider for the construction and installation of improvements hereinabove described. In the event, however, that any portion of the improve- ments have not been installed according to the conditions contained herein, then, and in that event, the City may have such remaining work and improvements completed by such means and in such manner, by contract with or without public letting, or otherwise, as it may deem advisable, and the lender agrees to reimburse the City out of the funds held by it for the account of the subdivider for the City's costs incurred in completing said work and improve- ments; provided, however, in no event shall the lender be obligated to pay the City more than the aggregate estimated sum for these improvements, less those amounts previously paid and approved by the City,by reason of default of the subdivider in the performance of the terms, conditions, and covenants con- tained in this paragraph 2. However, the City waives no right to claim full compliance with the improvements required in ex- cess of the estimated costs. From time to time as work to be performed and improvements to be constructed herein progress, the subdivider may request that the office of City Engineer inspect such % ork and improvements as are completed and may submit to City the costs of such completed work and improvements. -5- • BOOM2 PAGE IM When the City Engineer is satisfied that such work and improve- ments as are required by the subdivider to be completed in fact, have been completed in accordance with the terms hereof, the City Engineer will submit to the lender its statement that it has no objection to the release by the Guarantor of so much of the above -specified funds as is necessary to pay the costs of work performed and improvements installed pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, except that ten (10%) percent of the estimated cost shall be withheld by the lender until all pro- posed improvements are completed and approved by the City Engineer. Subdivider shall prepare and be responsible for the preparation of engineering plans, specifications, and construction drawings for all improvements included in Paragraph 2 above. These plans and specifications shall be submitted to the City Engineer and shall be approved prior to the commencement of any construction by the Subdivider. Subdivider shall also be responsible for pro- viding all necessary engineering and/or surveying services in con- junction with the construction of said improvements. The City Engineering Department shall be notified prior to the commencement of construction so that the work may be inspected during construction. 3. Site Data Tabulation (see Exhibit "A" attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference.) 4. The subdivider agrees to line the Riverside Ditch for the full length of Lots 8 and 9 with a rubberized material to prevent seepage onto Lots 8 and 9. If the subdivider finds that use of the rubberized material is not feasible, a feasible alternative lining shall be used, provided the subdivider shall use best efforts to find an alternative to concrete lining. 5. The subdivider agrees, for himself and his successors and assigns, that he will not authorize any vehicular traffic to enter the area of the condominium units or recreational facilities ME 0 - BOOK 312 iuE 116 of the Callahan Subdivision from Ute Avenue unless such vehicles are for the purpose of construction, providing services to or deal- ing with emergencies of the Callahan Subdivision. Furthermore, neither the subdivider nor his successor or assigns shall pro- vide for any parking spaces along the border of Ute Avenue within any portion of the Callahan Subdivision. The prohibition contained in this paragraph shall not apply to the parking lot which presently exists on Lot 16 nor to any expansion thereof. 6. The subdivider agrees to relocate at subdivider's expense a portion of the recreational trail which will be moved to a location approximately as shown on the plat. Such relocation shall be done as follows: By June 15 of the year in which construction is to commence on Lots 13, 13A or 15, subdivider shall cause such trail to be roughed in place. The easement to that trail shall be granted to the City and shall be restricted to the following uses: pedestrian, equestrian, bicycling, and cross-country skiing. No motor vehicle of any kind shall ever be allowed to use the trail, excepting only such vehicles as are absolutely necessary at the initial construction and subsequent maintenance and repair of the trail. 7. The subdivider agrees not to pave any of the roads in the subdivision until at least six months after all utilities are in place. 8. It is acknowledged by the owner that certain land areas included within or adjacent to the subdivided land have previously been used for agricultural uses or as meadow lands and have been irrigated by waters owned by the owner and carried in the Nellie Bird Ditch. The City of Aspen has established a policy of acquisition of those water rights beneficially used by annexed and subdivided lands at the time of annexation and subdivision approval, when the proposed development will be serviced by the City owned water utility: a. So as to avoid the establishment of competitive water utilities. b. To insure that all water used for domestic purposes meets minimum sanitary and health standards. -7- 0 0 BOOM2 PAGE J.17 c. To prevent the abandonment of water rights by discontinuation of their beneficial use. d. To provide for the acquisition of more senior rights to guarantee water service to Aspen area users in time of low supply. e. To reduce the costs of condemnation for acqui- sition of water rights in the future. Therefore, it is agreed as a condition of subdivision approval. 1. That upon recording of the final plat of the Callahan Subdivision the owner will convey to the City of Aspen, without further consideration, 0.65 cfs. of the Nellie Bird Ditch, Priority 3136 (Source: Roaring Fork River; adjudicated August 25, 1936), which cor- responds to the ratio of the subdivided lands to all lands irrigated by this water right. In the event use of part of such water granted to the City shall become necessary to retain the lowest level of Crystal Lake (as described in Paragraph 1L of this Agreement) the City of Aspen agrees to make available so much of the water right necessary to maintain the lowest water level; provided, however, that nothing herein shall be construed to require the City to supply ditches; rights of way, pumps, or other -facilities necessary to transfer water to Crystal Lake. 2. That owner hereby grants to the City of Aspen a right of first refusal on the balance of the water right described in subparagraph (1) in the event such water right is offered for sale independently of a sale of the lands irrigated by said right. To the extent permitted by law this right of first refusal shall be deemed a covenant running with said irrigated lands, and bind the owner, his heirs, assigns and BOOK312 tur 1.18 successors in interest. 3. That the owner does further agree to negotiate in good faith with the City of Aspen for the grant to the City (or its nominee) for a nominal fee of a revocable license to make beneficial use (as allowed by law) of part or all of the water right described in subparagraph (1) retained by owner, without jeop- ardizing owner's interest in said decreed water right. 8.1 It is further acknowledged that owner owns a high priority right on Hunter Creek, namely, the Red Mountain Ditch, Priority No. 90 (Source: Hunter Creek, adjudicated May 11, 1899; headgate trans- ferred to Huston Ditch by decree recorded in Book 252, Page 575, records of the Pitkin County Clerk and Reocrder) hereinafter called Hunter Creek water right, the acquisition of which is also of in- terest to the City of Aspen. Owner agrees, as a further condition of this subdivision approval and with reference to said right: a. That Owner hereby grants to the City of Aspen a right of first refusal on the Hunter Creek water right in the event such right is offered for sale independently of a sale of the lands irrigated by said water right; and to the extent allowed by law, this right of first refusal shall be deemed a covenant on the lands so irrigated, and bind the owner, his heirs, assigns, and successors in interest. b. To negotiate with the City of Aspen in good faith for the acquisition of this right to facilitate the con- struction of a package filter plant on Hunter Creek. Ne- gotiations will be deemed to be proceeding in good faith when the City seeks such right only for construction of said package plant and owner attempts to achieve only (i) domestic water service for potential homesites on his lands above Hunter Creek and below the Red Mountain Road WE • 0 BOOKK2 PACES 19 (on the Red Mountain side), (ii) provision for the future irrigation of owner's meadow lands below the Huston Ditch and above Hunter Creek, and (iii) a total consider- ation on the sale of the water right which is equivalent to its fair market value, with proper credit and allowance being given for the fair market value of any exchanges, concessions, promises, undertakings or other consideration received pursuant to (i) and (ii). 9. In satisfaction of the dedication fee required to be paid to the City under Section 20-18 of the City of Aspen Muni- cipal Code for the purposes set forth therein, the subdivider agrees that upon recording of the final plat of the Callahan Subdivision, that he shall make a cash payment to the City in the amount of $90,000.00. 10. Notwithstanding anything contained herein or referred to the contrary, the owner and the subdivider, in developing the property contained within the Plat and the improvements as herein described, shall fully comply with the applicable rules, regulations, standards and laws of the City and other governmental agencies and bodies having jurisdiction. 11. The City agrees that since the townhouse -condominiums as designed do not exceed two and one-half stories in height, and the total height of each unit is constant, that a vertical envelope be created around each unit module allowing a maximum of two and one-half feet above elevation shown on the PUD building plans to accommodate possible grade elevation variations. The intent of this Agreement is to provide the best possible relationship between buildings, between buildings and tops of carports, as well as the best utilization of existing terrain within the development zone. Prior to application for the building permit, the permit applicant will submit a ground survey, showing final building layout and floor elevations, - noting any variations in the contour. -10- 0 0 BOOK U2 PAGE 120 12. Subdivider agrees to pay the City in addition to its dedication fee the sum of $250.00 which represents the agreed upon costs for the City to tap into the sewer line in Ute Children's Park. The $250.00 shall be due and payable upon the granting of the easement across Ute Children's Park and Ute Cemetery for sewer lines by the City. 13. Subdivider agrees to provide at his expense shuttle bus services consisting of van -type vehicles for the recreation facilities and the clubhouse of the.Callahan Subdivision upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth. The expenses of the acquisition, maintenance and operation of such vehicles shall be borne by the subdivider, and such service may be supplied by the purchase of appropriate vehicles, the leasing thereof, or any other available means which shall be adequate. The subdivider agrees to provide such vehicles in a number sufficient to serve the need therefor based upon year around operation between the Callahan Subdivision clubhouse and recreation facilities and downtown Aspen, provided, however, that such vehicles shall not number less than one. The term of this service shall be until the earlier of the following occurs: 1. Such van service shall no longer be needed; or 2. Until the transportation services provided by this Agreement are fulfilled by other public or private means. 3. Until the expiration of five years from the date hereof. 14. Upon execution of this Agreement by the parties hereto and provided all other conditions as herein contained have been met by the owner and the subdivider, the City agrees to execute the Plat of the Callahan Subdivision and accept the same for recordation in the Recording Office of Pitkin County, Colorado, upon payment of the recordation fees and costs to the City by -11- subdivider. 15. Failure of the subdivider to pay dedication fee or to provide the requisite guaranty for roads and utilities and other improvements prescribed hereunder, shall carry only the sanction of prohibition of recording the subdivision plat and final development plan herein. If the foregoing sanction is imposed by the City upon the subdivider, it shall release the owner of all obligations under Paragraphs 8 and 8.2 hereof. 16. The subdivider agrees to furnish City with an as -built survey description for sewer, water and trail easements. 17. The subdivider agrees to allow the City to install a water line in Ute Avenue at the time subdivider constructs his eight -inch line greater in size than that eight -inch line, provided, however, that the City shall pay for the extra cost above the cost of installing an eight -inch line. 18. The stages for the development of the subdivision improvements shall be according to Exhibit B attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference. 19. At such time as and to the extent Goldsamt has assigned any of his rights hereunder or under any agreement with owner and such assignee has assumed any obligation hereunder, Goldsamt shall have no further obligation for such assumed obligation. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have hereunto set their h�nc1sF a�O..:seals the day and year first above written. •\` J TrJ� T•i -- CITY OF N, orado �'a• = Munic'pa or rfon By , City1'rl K' ayor "u��,,,�� `• ATTEST: �fY',: Secreta -k 1l [ r c, L`l .• .��.! r� S BENEDICT LAND & CATTLE COMPANY, Owner a n_ _a_ _.t ?��� - Pres�id2nt abienne genedict, 0 ner Robert Goldsamt, Subdivider BOOK 312 iud& STATE OF COLORADO ) ss.
