RE: Bennett Conditional Use
DATE: September 5, 1989
SUMMARY: The applicants seek to convert their bandit unit into
an accessory dwelling unit. Pursuant to Section 5 -510, a bandit
unit may be converted to an accessory dwelling unit as a
conditional use requiring review from the Planning and Zoning
Commission. The Planning Department recommends approval of this
conditional use.
APPLICANT: Mick and Jan Bennett
LOCATION: 534 Spruce Street, The Williams Addition, City of
Aspen
ZONING: R -6
APPLICANT'S REQUEST: Convert the bandit unit into an accessory
dwelling unit.
REFERRAL COMMENTS:
Fire Marshall No comment.
Building Department In a memo dated August 18, 1989, the
building department indicated that an inspection of the bandit
unit found the unit is compliance with the code. The unit has no
Life /Safety problems. Please see the attached copy of inspection
report.
Enaineerina In a memo dated August 1, 1989, the Engineering
Department, after a site visit and review of the application has
the following comments:
a. Improvement district - the applicant should agree to join any
future improvement districts.
b. Easement - we would like a 4 pedestal easement.
Housing In a memo dated August 7, 1989, Janet Raczak
recommended that the applicant provide the Housing Office with a
plan for the existing unit, and calculations of exact "net
livable square footage ", for our records. Further, they must
prepare a deed restriction acceptable to the Housing Authority to
be filed prior to issuance of any building permit. The applicant
can contact the Housing Office for assistance in preparing such a
deed restriction. Finally, the applicant will be required to
have any and all potential tenants for the unit apply for
qualification and verification by the Housing Authority prior to
occupancy and the deed restriction shall so state.
STAFF COMMENTS: Currently there is a 1659 square foot 3 bedroom
unit with a 750 square foot bandit unit on a 7500 square foot
site. Ordinance 11, Series of 1989, amended the R -6 zone
district to allow a duplex on a 7500 square foot lot if the lot
was subdivided and annexed subsequent to January 1, 1989. The
applicants wish to add a duplex unit onto their existing single
family. In order to proceed with their development proposal the
bandit unit must be either eliminated or converted into an
accessory dwelling unit. The applicant has elected to convert to
an accessory dwelling unit.
Section 5 -510 A & B of the Land Use Code enables the conversion
of a bandit unit to an accessory dwelling unit as a conditional
use.
An accessory dwelling unit, containing not less than 300 square
feet, shall be deed restricted as a Resident Occupied Unit and be
rented for periods of six months or longer.
Section 7 -304 outlines the review criteria for a conditional use:
A. The conditional use is consistent with the purposes, goals,
objectives and standards of the Aspen Area Comprehensive Plan,
and with the intent of the Zone District in which it is proposed
to be located.
RESPONSE: According to the application, when the Williams
Addition was annexed the Planning and Zoning Commission and the
City Council considered two zoning designations, they were R -6
and RM /F. RM /F because of the proximity to Hunter Creek and
Centennial Apartments. The R -6 zone was decided upon to better
preserve the character of the neighborhood. The R -6 zone is
described as a moderate density residential zone district. It
was noted at the time of rezoning, that the surrounding high
density may warrant, in some cases, multiple family residences in
the Williams Addition.
The conversion of the bandit unit to an accessory dwelling unit,
instead of eliminating it, corresponds with the City's goals to
provide affordable housing in all parts of the city and to
preserve the existing housing that is available at affordable
rates.
B. The conditional use is consistent and compatible with the
character of the immediate vicinity of the parcel proposed for
development and surrounding land uses, or enhances the mixture of
complimentary uses and activities in the immediate vicinity of
E
the parcel proposed for development.
RESPONSE: The applicant submits that duplexes and bandit units
are the "norm" of the neighborhood. The property is surrounded
by multiple family units. The applicant also believes that they
are creating a well -kept dwelling in the midst of older, but not
historic dwellings.
At the time of annexation and rezoning the Williams Addition
property owner's were concerned about the ability to build
duplexes. Owners of existing duplexes were concerned about
becoming nonconforming. Ordinance 11 now provides the ability
for owners to develop duplexes on a 7500 square foot lot.
Ordinance 7, Series of 1989, requires that duplexes being built
in the RM /F and Office zones provide either a middle income unit
or two accessory dwelling units. Staff is working on an
ordinance that will extend this concept to all residential zones.
The provision of an accessory dwelling unit within a duplex is
compatible with the surrounding area and the City's proposed
duplex legislation.
C. The location, size, design and operating characteristics of
the proposed conditional use minimizes adverse effects, including
visual impacts, impacts on pedestrian and vehicular circulation,
parking, trash, service delivery, noise, vibrations and odor on
surrounding properties.
RESPONSE: The proposed accessory dwelling unit is contained
entirely within the existing single family structure. The unit
has been occupied for several years. As noted by the building
department the accessory dwelling unit complies with code and
satisfies Life /Safety issues.
D. There are adequate public facilities and services to serve
the conditional use including but not limited to roads, potable
water, sewer, solid waste, parks, police, fire protection,
emergency medical services, hospital and medical services,
drainage systems, and schools.
RESPONSE: The accessory unit was created out of one bedroom, one
bath and the family room of the original unit. No new public
facilities were required for this additional unit.
E. The applicant commits to supply affordable housing to meet
the incremental need for increased employees generated by the
conditional use.
RESPONSE: Not applicable. By converting the bandit unit into an
accessory dwelling unit the applicant is preserving affordable
housing.
3
F. The proposed conditional use complies with all additional
standards imposed on it by the Aspen Area Comprehensive Plan and
by all other applicable requirements of this chapter.
RESPONSE: The total proposal complies with all the dimensional
requirements of the Land Use Code. The Code also enables the
development of a duplex on this size of lot. Most importantly,
rather than eliminant the bandit unit in order to build the
duplex, the applicant is maintaining the affordable housing on
site which is a priority of the City.
RECOMMENDATION: The Planning Office recommends that the Planning
and Zoning Commission approve the conditional use with the
following conditions:
1. Prior to final inspection by the Zoning Official and the
Building Department the applicant must provide the Housing Office
with a plan for the existing unit, and calculations of exact "net
livable square footage ", for our records. Further, they must
prepare a deed restriction acceptable to the Housing Authority to
be filed prior to issuance of any building permit. Finally, the
applicant will be required to have any and all potential tenants
for the unit apply for qualification and verification by the
Housing Authority prior to occupancy and the deed restriction
shall so state.
2. Prior to final inspection by the Zoning Official and the
Building Department the applicant shall agree to join any future
improvement districts and dedicate a 4 pedestal easement.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Leslie Lamont, Planning
FROM: Janet Raczak, Housing
RE: Bennett Conditional Use Review
DATE: August 7, 1989
PROPOSAL: The applicant, Michael A. Bennett, currently owns a home
at 534 Spruce Street, Lots 3 and 4, Block, 10, Williams Addition,
Aspen, which contains two units, a 1650 s.f. 3 bedroom unit and a
750 s.f. "bandit" unit. The applicant is requesting approval to
legalize the existing "bandit" unit by converting it into an
"Accessory Dwelling Unit" and adding an additional 1600 s.f. unit.
The total project would then contain, a 1600 s.f. 3 bedroom unit,
a 1650 3 bedroom unit and a 750 s.f. accessory dwelling unit.
DISCUSSION: Section 5 -510 Accessory Dwelling Units, of the City
Code (Ordinance 47) states:
"The Accessory Dwelling Unit shall contain not less than 300
square feet of net livable area and be located within or
attached to a principal residence. It shall meet the
definition of a Resident Occupied Unit and be rented for
periods of six months or longer. The owner of the principal
residence shall have the right to place a qualified employee
or employees of his or her choosing in the Accessory Dwelling
Unit."
The applicant indicates that the unit contains 750 s.f. and
therefore meets the requirement that it contain not less than 300
s.f. of net livable area. Further, the applicant contends that the
structure is currently a duplex unit which consists of the "bandit"
unit and an 1650 s.f. 3 bedroom unit. Therefore, the unit is
located within or attached to a principal residence.
The Code further states, in Ordinance 47:
"Resident Occupied Unit means any dwelling unit which is
limited, by deed restriction or other guarantee running with
i:he land, to occupancy "but not to price or income
limitations) by qualified employees in Pitkin County, meeting
the guidelines or approval of the City Council's housing
designee. When considering granted approval to an individual
not meeting the guidelines as a qualified employee, the
housing designee shall take into account the length of
1
residence of the individual in the community, and the place
where he or she votes and pays personal income taxes."
Therefore, the applicant is required to deed restrict the existing
bandit unit guaranteeing that the occupancy of the unit will be
held by a qualified employee of Pitkin County according to the
Housing Guidelines. The unit is not, however, limited with respect
to price or income.
RECOMMENDATION: The applicant must provide the Housing Office with
a plan for the existing unit, and calculations of exact "net
livable square footage, for our records. Further, they must
prepare a deed restriction acceptable to the Housing Authority to
be filed prior to issuance of any building permit. The applicant
can contact the Housing Office for assistance in preparing such a
deed restriction. Finally, the applicant will be required to have
aay and all potential tenants for the unit apply for qualified and
verification by the Housing Authority prior to occupancy and the
deed restriction shall so state.

Re: Bennett Conditional Use Review
After reviewing the above application and making a site
inspection, the Engineering Department has the following
comments:
Improvement district - the applicant should agree to join any
future improvement districts.
Easement - we would like a 4' x 4' pedestal easement.
Parking - there does not appear to be any on -site parking spaces.
The applicant should demonstrate that there is room available and
access for parking for the new building permit.
Drainage - the applicant must prove that the historic drainage
has not been altered for the new duplex that will be constructed.
Drywells will probably be necessary.

Dear Sirs:
Attached is my application to convert a Bandit Unit in my home at
534 Spruce Street into an Accessory Unit. In addition I have
submitted plans to the Building Department to add a second unit
onto my existing home. The second unit is a permitted use in the
R -6a Zone district and is therefore not part of this application.
I intend to act as owner /builder for the new addition and I am
acting on my own behalf for this application as well.
It is my understanding that Bandit units that were occupied
before January 1989 can be converted into Accessory Units and
this proposal therefore complies with all substantive
development review standards relative to this application.
The property is located at:

RESPONSE TO ATTACHMENT 4
Review Standards: Development of Conditional Use
A. The conditional use is consistent with the purposes, goals,
objectives and standards of the Aspen Area Comprehensive
Plan, and with the intent of the Zone District in which it
is proposed to be located.
Response
When the Williams Addition was annexed the Planning and Zoning
Commission and the City Council considered two zoning
designations. They were R -6 and RM /F. RM /F was considered
because of the Williams Addition's proximity to the Hunter Creek
and Centennial Apartments. Due to the high density in the area,
it was thought that RM /F might be an appropriate designation.
The R -6 zone designation was decided upon instead to keep the
character of the neighborhood as it was. It was noted at that
time, however, that the surrounding density was very high and
multiple family residences might be appropriate in some cases.
The Bennett Duplex Proposal of two units plus one accessory unit
would seem to fit the goals of the Planning and Zoning Commission
and the Aspen Area Comprehensive Plan. It would also keep the
current residential character of the neighborhood intact.
B. The conditional use is consistent and compatible with the
character of the immediate vicinity of the parcel proposed
for development and surrounding land uses, or enhances the
mixture of complimentary uses and activities in the
immediate vicinity of the parcel proposed for development.
Response
Duplexes and bandit units are the norm for this subdivision. The
property is surrounded on all sides by multiple dwellings
contained on the same lot. The Bennett Duplex Proposal is in
keeping with the character of the neighborhood. Further, it
enhances the neighborhood in that it creates a new well -kept
dwelling in the midst of a neighborhood of older (but not
historic) dwellings.
C. The location, size, design, and operating characteristics of
the proposed conditional use minimizes adverse effects,
including visual impacts, impacts on pedestrians and
vehicular circulation, parking, trash service delivery,
noise, vibrations, and odor on surrounding properties.
Response
The proposed accessory unit is contained entirely inside the area
that would otherwise be included in Unit 1 of the proposed
duplex. The proposed duplex, is an allowed use in the R -6a Zone
District and is therefore not a factor in this conditional use
application. The accessory unit, therefore, has no impact on the
surrounding properties other than those which exist already.
D. There are adequate public facilities and services to serve
the conditional use including but not limited to roads,
potable water, sewer, solid wastes, parks, police, fire
protection, emergency medical services, hospital and medical
services, drainage systems, and schools.
Response
The proposed accessory unit was created

E. The proposed conditional use complies with all additional
standards imposed on it by the Aspen Area Comprehensive Plan
and by all other applicable requirements of this chapter.
Response
The Aspen Area Comprehensive Plan includes the creation of duplex
units in the R -6a Zone District. Because our proposed building
fits into the allowable FAR and building guidelines, the issue
here is not the creation of a new structure, but rather the use
of that structure. Setting aside a portion of Unit 1 as an
accessory unit will provide housing for some Pitkin County
Employee. Because the creation of the accessory unit allows for
housing for more employees in the same amount of square feet of
building space, we feel like this proposal is in compliance of
not only the Aspen Area Comprehensive Plan but also Aspen's
