RE: Allen Conditional Use Review - Public Hearing
DATE: November 22, 1994
--------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The applicant proposes to construct a single family home
with an attached accessory dwelling unit. Staff recommends denial
of the conditional use for an accessory dwelling unit.
APPLICANT: Doug Allen
LOCATION: 1357 Mountainview Drive
ZONING: R -15
APPLICANT'S REQUEST: To provide an approximately 350 square foot
attached studio accessory dwelling unit pursuant to Ordinance 1
requirements.
REFERRAL COMMENTS: Please find the referral comments from the
Housing Office, exhibit A.
STAFF COMMENTS:
Conditional Use Review - Pursuant to Section 24 -7 -304 the criteria
for a conditional use review are as follows:
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; and
RESPONSE: The proposed accessory dwelling unit is an attached,
primarily above grade unit on the first level of the home. The
size is 350 square feet of net liveable. This should be verified
by the Housing Authority. The unit must comply with the Housing
Guidelines and the requirements of Ordinance 1 and shall be deed
restricted as a resident occupied unit for working residents of
Pitkin County.
It is unclear from submitted plans whether the roof overhand is
wide enough to protect the entrance to the ADU from shedding snow.
The front door to the unit is on the west side of the home.
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; and
RESPONSE: The surrounding neighborhood is entirely residential.
The protective covenants of the West Meadow Homeowner's Association
restricts all parcels, except Lot 1 Block 1, which is a duplex lot,
to one detached single - family dwelling house. The covenants also
address the occupancy of residences stating that "each
residence... shall be occupied as single - family residences."
Staff has met with and received a letter from homeowners of the
association with regard to Mr. Allen's request. Please see
attached letter, exhibit C.
Although the City does not enforce protective covenants, the
provision of an accessory dwelling unit is not a use by right.
Ordinance 1, 1990 does provide an alternative ( cash -in -lieu) when
an accessory dwelling unit is found to be inappropriate for a
specific neighborhood. Mr. Allen has already paid cash -in -lieu in
order to pull a building permit, however he also anticipated a
refund pending approval of an accessory dwelling unit.
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; and
RESPONSE: The attached accessory dwelling unit, according to the
plans, has one seperate entrance which is outside of the primary
residence. Unlike most accessory dwelling units, this unit does
not have a second entrance into the main home. The submitted site
plan does not indicate how an occupant would access the accessory
dwelling unit from either the street or the garage and driveway.
The driveway /garage is on the east side of the parcel while the
entrance to the ADU is on the west side of the parcel. A defined
pedestrian link to the ADU from sidewalks /alleys /carports has
always been encouraged during the development of ADUs.
West Meadow homeowners have expressed concern that a second
dwelling unit will add more traffic to an otherwise quiet, single
family, neighborhood.
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; and
RESPONSE: Although the site was vacant, no new services are
required for the ADU.
E. The applicant commits to supply affordable housing to meet
the incremental need for increased employees generated by the
conditional use; and
2
C
RESPONSE: The proposal includes a studio accessory dwelling unit.
However, at a June 25, 1994, West Meadows homeowner's meeting the
applicant indicated that the ADU was to be used as an office and
guest space. Please see minutes, exhibit D.
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 conditional use is an attempt to comply with
Ordinance 1 requirements.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends denial of the ADU finding that
the conditional use request does not comply with standard B: "The
conditional use is 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 ac-
tivities in the immediate vicinity of the parcel proposed for
development."
The provision of an accessory dwelling unit must be reviewed for
compliance with the above criteria. The review continues to be a
public hearing to inform nearby residents of the potential density
increase in their neighborhood. Although the City does not enforce
protective covenants, Ordinance 1 does provide alternatives to the
development of an accessory dwelling unit. Therefore staff would
recommend the provision of a cash -in -lieu payment verses an
accessory dwelling unit.
ALTERNATIVE: If the Commission votes to approve the ADU, staff
would recommend the following conditions of approval:
1. Prior to a refund of the affordable housing fee, the applicant
shall:
a. provide a site plan indicating a pedestrian link with the front
door of the ADU and public right of way;
b. submit a floor plan of the ADU for verification of net liveable
square footage;
c. upon approval of the deed restriction by the Housing Office,
record the deed restriction with the Pitkin County Clerk and
Recorder's Office with proof of recordation to the Planning
Department. The deed restriction shall state that the accessory
unit meets the housing guidelines for such units, meets the
definition of Resident Occupied Unit, and if rented, shall be
rented for periods of six months or longer;
d. floor plans of the ADU shall be submitted to APCHA for review
of net liveable calculations and kitchen appliances;
3
2. All material representations made by the applicant in the
application and during public meetings with the Planning and zoning
Commission shall be adhered to and considered conditions of
approval, unless otherwise amended by other conditions.
3. The applicant shall agree to join any future improvement
districts which may be formed for the purpose of constructing
improvements in the public right -of -way.
4. The ADU shall be clearly identified as a separate dwelling unit
on building permit plans and shall comply with U.B.C. Chapter 35
sound attenuation requirements.
5. Prior to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy the
Planning Department shall inspect the unit to determine compliance
with the conditions of approval.
RECOMMENDED MOTION: "I move to deny the conditional use for 1357
Mountainview Drive, Aspen, finding that the conditional use does
not comply with review standard B."

DATN: November 1, 1994
RN: Allen Conditional Use Review for an Accessory+ Dwelling
unit
Parcel ID No. 2735- 013 -09 -011
The Housing Office recommends approval for the requested accessory
dwelling unit based on the following conditions:
Accessory dwsping units shall contain not less than three hundred (300) square feet of allowable
floor area and not more than seven hundred (%db) square feel of allowable floor area. The unit shall
be deed restricted, meeting the housing authorhy's guidelines for resident ompied units and shall
be limited to rental periods of not less than six (B) months in duration. Owners of the principal
residence shall have the right to place a qualified employee or ompleyses of his or her choosing in
the accessory dweping unit.
The applicant states that the proposed accessory dwelling unit is
to consist of approximately 350 square feet of living area, and be
located within the single family residence. The accessory dwelling
unit shows that it does have a private entrance, but there is some
concern as to the exterior access of this unit. This should be
clarified before approval.
The kitchen must also be built to the following specifications;
Minivan - For Accessory Dwelling Units and Caretaker Dwelling Units, a minimum of a tero-bumer
stave with oven, standard sink, and a 6 -cubic foot refrigerator plus freezer.
Before the applicant can receive building permit approval, the
applicant must provide to the Housing Office actual floor plans,
showing the net liveable calculation of the accessory dwelling
unit, and a signed and recorded Deed Restriction, which can be
obtained from the Housing office. The Housing office must have the
recorded book and page number prior to building permit approval.

MINUTES OF THE WEST MEADOW HOMEOWNERS' ASSOCIATION
June 25, 1994
The meeting was called to order by Chair Millard Zimet at 7:00 P.M.
at the home of Millard and Susan Zimet.
MEMBERS PRESENT: Millard Zimet, Ernie Fyrwald, Michael Logsdon,
Sherry Draper Ferry, Eddie Irwin, John Emmerick, Dave Amory, and
Elva Fitzpatrick. Doug Allan was present for a short time.
PROXIES FROM: Robert Christianson, Dave Stapleton, John and Bette
Oakes, Laurel Blocker, Dick Miller, Carroll Allen and Roy Vroom.
01 rA&W.l, IqN
The minutes r were approved as read.
;
Millard gave a report on the Architectural Control Committee meet-
ing. Doug Allen presented plans for a home on his corner lot, but
the plans were not comprehensive enough for the committee to make
a decision as to their compliance with our covenants. Doug will
present the committee with more plans later and that he plans an
accessory unit to be used as a guest unit and a home office.
Millard discussed the committee's concern about having ADU's and
the density of the neighborhood. City law does not force a home-
owner to rent the accessory unit. Doug pointed out that it is a
Pitkin County law that a homeowner cannot live in an accessory
unit and rent his main house.
Michael Logsdon made a motion to approve ADU's in our neighborhood.
Since our covenants do not permit them, he amended his motion to
permit ADU's according to city regulations (not to be over 700
sq. ft.) and to grandfather the two existing ADU's.
Ernie seconded the motion.
For 10
Against 7
Dave Amory made a motion that if.a homeowner is forced by the city
to build an ADU, then the homeowners' association will have to
abide by it. If not forced, then to prohibit an ADU.
Millard seconded the motion.
For 7
Against 10
(2)
There was much discussion again as to Eddie Irwin's situation.
Eddie said that he had presented full plans to the Architectural
Control Committee in 1985 and that they had been approved.by
Michael Logsdon. There were no such plans in the box. Elva and
Dave Amory, who have been on the Architectural Control Committee
and have never missed a meeting, insist that Eddie has never
presented any comprehensive plans that we could make a decision
on. The only thing that we have seen is a building permit for
a two -car garage, not a two -story garage.
The dissension as usual was between those who would like to keep
the neighborhood as single family dwellings versus those who want
to relax the covenants in the belief that it will raise property
values. Elva expressed her opinion that by keeping single family
homes only, our property values will increase as it will be the
only such neighborhood left around Aspen.
Michael prefaced a motion to dissolve our homeowners' association
by saying that he didn't see any problems and that our association
had not accomplished anything but bickering.
Ernie seconded the motion.
For 8
Against 8
John Emmerick made a motion to adjourn at 8:35 P.M. Millard second-
ed the motion.
Respectfully submitted,

Dear Leslie:
P.1
Please accept this letter as a request to reject the-Application for an'A.D.D.
for Mr. Doug Allen.
This request is not because of Mr. Allen's request, but• because of the
property covenant's in West Meadow Sub_ division,
This area is if not the last bastion for single family dwelling's in Aspen,
it is close to it.
The area is single family, permanent residences with one or two exception's
and only one street for,ingress and egress. The addition of 18 more unit's
on the street would destroy what a majority of the resident's who live there
bought their residences for.
Thank you for your concern's.

Pursuant to our conversation last week, I enclose an enlarged floor plan for the accessory
dwelling unit to be located in the single - family residence to be constructed on the above lot.
Also enclosed are two blue line prints also showing the same unit as it is integrated into the
single - family residence. This will supplement your file in greater detail than the information you
presently have.
Regarding the situation concerning accessory dwelling units in this subdivision, please
be advised that there are at least two approved and constructed accessory dwelling units on this
street in this subdivision plus the duplex in the subdivision directly across the street from my
lot and duplexes behind my house and to the West of my house as well as throughout the
neighborhood in both directions.
This unit not only serves a real need as stated by the long range goals for the City of
Aspen but serves a very practical need in making available affordable housing for local
employees on a non - subsidized basis. If you have any further questions concerning this
application, please contact me immediately so that we can address them prior to the hearing.

RE: Cemetery Lane ADU Cash -in -Lieu
Dear Doug,
ASPEN • PITKIN
PLANNING & ZONING DEPARTMENT
As a confirmation of our phone conversation regarding refund
of an affordable housing cash payment, the City will accept the
appropriate cash amount in order to release a building permit with
the caveat that a refund shall only be granted within the. same
fiscal year upon satisfaction of an alternative housing mitigation
solution (accessory dwelling unit or deed restriction of the
principal dwelling). The City's fiscal year coincides with the
calendar year. If an ADU is the owner Is.choice for mitigation, the
Planning & Zoning Commission must grant its approval as a
conditional use and the appropriate deed restriction must be
recorded before the request for refund can be submitted to the
Planning Office. The request for a refund must be accompanied by
a handling fee of $215.00 to cover the administrative cost of
processing the refund. Any interest generated by-the cash -in -lieu
payment will be not be returned.

This application is submitted on behalf of myself, Douglas P. Allen, 225 North Mill
Street, Suite 210, Aspen, Colorado 81611, 925 -8800, also represented by myself.
The street address is 1357 Mountainview Drive. Legal description, Lot 1, Block 2, West
Meadow Subdivision, Pitkin County, Colorado. Ownership is fee simple in Douglas P. Allen.
Attached to this letter is a copy of a title commitment for this property.
Attached to this letter is the Land Use Application form and an 8 -1/2 x 11 vicinity map
locating the parcel.
The proposal is for an accessory dwelling unit consisting of approximately 350 square
feet of living area located within a single family house. The unit will be accessed by a separate
outside entry door under a roof overhang. The accessory dwelling unit has adequate natural
light, ingress and egress, and will be finished in the identical manner as the rest of the house.
A set of drawings reflecting the entire property and its development is attached.
Also attached is a list of adjacent property owners within 300 feet of the subject property
with their addresses.
The conditional use applied for is consistent with the purposes, goals, objectives, and
standards of the Aspen Area Comprehensive Plan as the accessory dwelling unit accomplishes
one of the goals of the Plan of having affordable housing available locally for local employees.
The use is consistent and compatible with the character of the neighborhood in the immediate
vicinity of the parcel as there is a duplex residence one directly across the street, directly behind
the property, and several across Cemetery Lane from the property as well as other accessory
dwelling units located on Mountainview Drive and on adjoining streets.

There are adequate public facilities and services to serve the property's use as a bus stop
is adjacent to the property and all utilities are at the property. In addition, the conditional use
is the supplying of affordable housing and complies with all standards imposed on such uses.

RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION NOVEMBER 22, 1994
Chairman Bruce Kerr called meeting to order at 4:30 P.M.
Answering roll call were Tim Mooney, Marta Chaikovska, Robert
Blaich, Sara Garton, Roger Hunt, Jasmine Tygre and Bruce Kerr.
Steven Buettow later in the meeting.
Roger: Over on Midland ROW now called Little Cloud- -when they
apparently took a Caterpillar tractor and made that road, they
piled a great big berm right adjacent to the Midland ROW and this
is a fairly high obvious berm which I don't recall seeing in the
plans which we made comments to the County P &Z. I would like the
County P &Z to respond, Leslie, as to why we have a berm there when
it wasn't on their original plans. There is an observation
structure behind it as well. I think it is a temporary thing. They
can take clients up and see what a pretty view it is.
The light over the front door is never on at night. And that is
a dangerous situation.
Robert: When I went to get my packet yesterday somebody had
removed them from my box. I don't know what kind of security
measures we have here but if anybody can walk in and help
themselves to this information --
Jan: I think the news people do that. This has happened numerous
times in the past.
Robert: Well, there is an article in the paper today. They read
it somewhere.
STAFF COMMENTS
Leslie: Stand would like to have a discussion with P &Z about where
we want to go with the feed -back that we got on the symposium and
the direction that we want to take. We are also planning a joint
work session and City Council before you actually see proposed code
amendments in January and February.
February 19 is the interim overlay expires unless Council chooses
to extend it.
December 5th is the brown bag lunch meeting on small lodges for
anyone who is interested.
PUBLIC COMMENTS
MOTION
PZM11.22.94
Marta: I move to recommend to City Council approval of the 204
East Durant Subdivision PUD request to reduce the western side yard
setback to 0 only to the extent shown on the plans.
I further move to approve Special Review for the affordable housing
parking plan to provide 3 parking spaces for the 4 affordable
dwelling units. These approvals are subject to the conditions of
approval in the Planning Office memorandum dated November 22, 1994
provided that Condition 41 shall now read "The applicant shall work
with the Engineering and Parks Departments during installation of
the sidewalk and pruning of the trees ".
That becomes new condition #1
same.
Jasmine seconded this motion.
Bruce closed the public hearing.
Roll call vote:
Conditions #2 and #3 remain the
Marta, yes, Robert, yes, Tim, yes, Sara, yes, Roger, no, Jasmine,
yes, Bruce, yes.
ALLEN CONDITIONAL USE REVIEW AND REZONING
ACCESSORY DWELLING UNIT
Leslie made presentation as attached in record.
She read into record a letter from David Stapleton requesting the
rejection of this application because of the property's covenants
in the West Meadow Subdivision.
Leslie: I just want t add one more point. When someone is
required to comply with Ord #1, they have 3 options available to
them. #1 is to propose an accessory dwelling unit that meets our
standards and criteria. the second one is to pay cash -in -lieu fee.
the third is to defer the accessory dwelling unit and payment if
this their primary residence and they are a working resident of
Pitkin County and they intend to live there they can defer the
cash -in -lieu or the accessory dwelling unit until such time as they
sell to a second home owner.
So Ord #1 has several options in it and accessory dwelling unit is
not the only alternative for the applicant to choose.
Bruce: I need clarification about Ord 1's application to vacant
FA
N
land previously subdivided lots
PZM11.22.94
Does Ord 1 apply to that?
Leslie: Yes. Ord l applies to every piece of vacant land in town
in which someone is going to propose to build a single family home
or duplex residence. Or if someone has a single family home and
they tear it down to build or if someone has one unit on a duplex
lot and are going to build a second unit on the duplex lot. Then
to comply with Ord 1 they have the 3 alternatives.
There is a 4th alternative. You can actually deed restrict the
home to RO.
Marta: Exactly where is the ADU located in relation to the street?
Allen: It is on the corner of Mountain View Drive and Cemetery
Lane. The ADU is on the Cemetery Lane side near where the bus stop
sign is.
Marta: Why exactly - -I have heard what the homeowners are saying
but why exactly are they upset about this?
Allen: There are 2 previously approved ADUs in the subdivision.
Immediately behind my house is a duplex. Next door, that is a
duplex. Across the street is a duplex. Across the street to the
north is a duplex. It is surrounded by duplexes on the other side
and there are 2 ADUs that were previously approved in this
subdivision.
I have heard that more traffic in the subdivision and higher
density is the reason for the upset.
There isn't going to be any higher density. This room will be in
the house and if this room is used as a bedroom in the house,
somebody will live in that bedroom. And if it is used as an ADU,
somebody will live in the ADU.
I have talked with Leslie because I was upset about her
recommendation of denial because I had gotten very positive input
from the staff prior to it being turned over to Leslie. I
explained that I would be willing to restrict it to occupancy to
1 person who does not have a car on the site. There are 8
conditions of approval. I would be willing to add those 2 more
conditions as conditions of approval.
I want to have an ADU in that house. It helps me defray the cost
of the house and it is compatible. It is not an intense use and
it is consistent and compatible with the character of the immediate
vicinity of the parcel. Most of the houses around me are true
duplexes - -2 large units in one house. This is a 350sf accessory
dwelling unit just like the code provides to be an accessory to a
P
C 0
PZM11.22.94
single family residence. If you read condition b word for word,
it complies with everything in there.
Bruce opened the public hearing.
Dave Amery: I am in a duplex across the street from Doug. And
that duplex was grandfathered into the subdivision. It was
probably illegally built. And it had to be grandfathered in
because somebody sort of skammed their way in. But the general
character of Mountain View Drive is single family residences. We
are the exceptio to that rule. All around us are duplexes. That
is true. But we have always had in our subdivision covenants a
rule against duplexes and we are trying to desperately hold onto
that.
I have a letter from myself and my wife. A letter from Betty
Cipriano who lives in a duplex across the street on Cemetery Lane.
A Letter from Roy Vroom. A letter from Will and Sherry Parry.
These letters all stated their opposition to this application.
(attached in record)
Showing pictures (attached) . This is the lot. And dirt is
literally spilling out onto he access and out onto the main artery.
It is very close. He basically doesn't have anyplace to put dirt
at this point.
Most of his stuff is parked in current access problems. An ADD
will contribute to problems of parking and access. A developer of
a 1 million dollar spec house should not be able to enhance his
sale price by being able to advertise "with and attached caretaker
unit" which I believe is one of the things that may happen. From
past actions it is clear Mr. Allen will only be a resident until
this house sells. Also there is no reason for a tenant to provide
"offsetting" revenue while the house is on the market for him.
In prior situations he developed the duplex on Cemetery Lane.
Before that he developed houses on Silver King Drive. Each of
those houses has radically changed the neighborhood look - -the look
that is in it.
Our subdivision covenants prohibit duplexes. If more ADUs are
granted it may lead to more duplexes in the future. We are
currnetly fighting a battle on that. Higher density and more
traffic. ADU approval could lead to destruction to one of the few
family neighborhoods left in this part of Aspen. We are concerned
the ordinance will create a "caretaker community" rather than
actual employee housing.
I would like to question as to the statement that 2 ADDS are
officially approved. Name me who those are. I know Ernie has
9
asked to do one.
PZM11.22.94
Leslie: It was approved as conditional use review. Laura Blocker
also. Both of those properties are within this subdivision.
Elva Fitzpatrick: I have lived in this community for 32 years.
We know when the property that we had covenants and that ADUs were
not allowed. We have an architectural control group and every time
plans are submitted they are submitted to this group. Doug's plans
are not approved with an ADU. And I wonder too sitting here
listening do our covenants - -how much bearing do they have? Do you
go over our heads on that? We always thought that this is our
neighborhood. We have our covenants. And that each person must
abide by these covenants. So Mr. Allen knew that when he bought.
And at our last meeting - -I have the minutes - -I took the minutes and
I have all the proxies. The minutes are not approved. But I would
ask that you put off making your decision.
Roy Vroom: I just wanted to put on record I originally subdivided
that property back in 1958. The covenants except for one corner
definitely prohibited more than a one - family dwelling of any kind.
As far as I am concerned those covenants still stand. Anything
that exists now I would look upon as bandit units because I never
approved them. I never heard of even asked to vote on it - -any of
the current so called ADUs. I don't even know where they are. I
still own a lot right next door to Mr. Allen so I am obviously
concerned. In fact so concerned as much as I was back in 1958.
I had to sue Pitkin County to remove a gravel crusher and an
asphalt batch plant right across Cemetery Lane. And I won! They
did remove it.
I am vehemently against this.
Mike Lux: I live at 1325 Mountain View for 7 years. I also have
the privilege of being the president of the homeowner's association
during the term where Laura Blocker and Ernie Fairwall got their
ADUs approved. The covenants as I read them does restrict
duplexes.
At the meeting that Elva mentioned we had a vote and I don't know
if you got the score there but I would say that the ADU unit in
question was approved by the jury of the voters of our subdivision.
And I think it should be approved. It is already been established
that the units have been built. I am sure Mr. Allen wouldn't apply
for an ADU unit if Ord #1 wasn't in place nor would Laura Blocker.
This is something that is brought on by the Ord #1 being in place.
Mrs. Stapleton: The minutes in question that Mike is talking about
and Elva brought up - -they have not been approved. There isn't a
2 /3rds majority to pass the ADU. The proxies that were for the
10
C
PZM11.22.94
ADUs were all copies so I question their being legitimate. So we
cannot use those minutes. They are not valid.
We have been there for 27 years in our house and raised 5 children
there. There is a whole new influx of young people raising their
children now. There are 18 houses on that street and there are 21
children and it is just a great little family neighborhood. And
we just do not want, even if you have a 300sf ADU that comes in,
that is still an extra car. I don't care - -it might be 2 cars. And
we just do not want the added traffic or congestion on our nice
little family oriented street. Dan I don't think since we have
covenants that specifically state that duplexes are not allowed -
-that is it! And David had filed that nothing can be done for a
year.
Bruce: Our decision tonight will not decide anything about your
homeowner's association - -the validity of your minutes - -even the
validity of your restrictive covenants. That is not our purview
that we are not a court of law. We are not going to decide the
validity of those covenants. If you as a homeowner's association
at some future time choose to pursue enjoining Mr. Allen or
enjoining Mr. Fairwall or anybody else from using the ADUs that
have apparently already been approved and built, that is between
your homeowners association and those individual property owners.
It is not our position to decide on the legality or not of ADUs and
whether that becomes a duplex defacto. So don't misunderstand the
process tonight. We are not going to be making that decision.
Our decision will merely be whether this ADU as proposed fits
within the City of Aspen code guidelines for approval of an ADU.
Dan our finding will be based on whether this ADU as proposed meets
those criteria.
Stan Clauson: Staff has taken this question up with the City
Attorney. And has very clearly gotten instruction that it is not
appropriate for the City staff to attempt to enforce covenants that
exist in the various neighborhoods.
In general current zoning theory and int he Ordinance specifically
an accessory dwelling unit is really considered to be consistent
with single family homes and not the creation of a duplex unit.
The accessory apartment concept emerged some 10 or 12 years ago
really in response to changing patterns of living, smaller family
size and the need to alter the single family home concept to meet
those needs.
Amery: I know that is a legal opinion. I read the ordinance quite
carefully and unless I miss the intent of the ordinance, the
ordinance was developed at a time when ADUs were being destroyed
and knocked down so that people could build huge houses on a lot
and actually get rid of the accessory dwelling unit and that was
11
PZM11.22.94
the idea and the intent of that was to make sure that none of these
were lost in the process of a developer coming along and building
a large house on a lot and saying during that process that employee
housing disappeared. So it was to keep the employee housing in
those areas where it already existed. Whether it is to create more
I think this board has to really sit down and consider - -if you are
going to start a policy - -an ordinance and keep enforcing it, you
want t also look at what is the impact of my decision. If I take
and make this decision does it open the door for a possible
proliferation and a whole change of a neighborhood character.
Bruce: Leslie, you mention the 3 options. Whose option is it?
Is it the applicant's or the city's option?
Leslie: To comply with as Doug Allen for a single family duplex
home which he is proposing - -a single family home, it is the
applicant's option to pursue one of the options. But I would like
to remind the P &Z the reason why we keep the accessory dwelling
unit in review for public hearing which is in the Cemetery Lane
area was one of those neighborhoods that was heavily discussed
during the adoption of Ord 1 and it was to let the neighborhood
know what was happening to them. That is why the accessory
dwelling unit is a conditional use. It is not a permitted use. It
must go through a review. But to answer your question it is up to
the applicant to choose what they would like to do but if you
choose an accessory dwelling unit you have to through a review
process.
COMMISSIONER COMMENTS
Marta: There are a few distinctions that I see in this that this
gentleman pointed out. An ADU is not a duplex. And Mr. Allen has
said that the would restrict it I think this person who has the ADU
may not have a car. This house is on the corner of Cemetery Lane
and Mountain View Drive. Cemetery Lane is a busy street no matter
what. If a car was being used by your ADU it would certainly not
go down with I would consider a rather quiet street.
There are people who want ADUs who have nannies, caretakers,
household help. This is a changing lifestyle type of an
arrangement that people have wanted. And they will want more and
more in the future. We are addressing whether this ADU really is
compatible with the neighborhood and given that there are duplexes
around I don't see that it would be incompatible.
Although I sympathize with the homeowners I don't see that there
is an overwhelming circumstance here that would say that it would
impact on the neighborhood.
Sara: I would like to recommend to the homeowner's association
12
PZM11.22.94
which happened before. We suggested that they look hard at their
covenants and there are things that you may feel you need to add
to those covenants. You may feel those covenants are strong enough
now but as Stan pointed out that isn't our purview or jurisdiction.
Jasmine: My problem with ADUs is that most of the time they tend
not to be occupied by anybody at all which I am sure the residents
would really prefer. They tend to be used as guest bedrooms. I
think that the applicants willingness to put a restriction on there
that there will be only one person occupying it will have the
effect of being basically a guest bedroom.
So I think that because the unit is so small and because the
applicant's willingness to limit the occupancy to I resident I
think you are not going to have much more of a serious situation
than you would have if it was just another family member living
there.
You already have 2 approved ADUs in your subdivision which makes
me wonder why this particular one seems to be so upsetting. I
think it is just because of the trend but I think your concern
about the ADUs and the proliferation doesn't make any sense at this
point because they already exist. I think this particular one is
going to have a minimum impact with the additional restrictions on
it.
Vroom: Regarding approval of the other so called ADUs when and
how was that done? I never knew they existed.
Bruce: You would not have been notified if you were far enough
away.
Vroom: I don't recall ever having received any such notice on
either one of those so- called ADUs. This is the first one.
Leslie: I know that Ernest Behrwall and Laura Blocker went through
the public notice process.
Stapleton: What is happening here is our neighbor that to our east
is also planning an ADU. He is going to live in there, rent out
his house and he also lives down in his house, rents it out. And
you are saying about proliferation. If Mr. Allen is approved it
is just going to be a chain reaction down the whole block. So
right, he is just applying for a corner of our street and those
people aren't going to be driving through the street but then what
is going to happen to the rest of the neighborhood? Why would we
have covenants?
Bruce: Under the City of Aspen code ADUs are a conditional use in
all single family areas. As I understand your covenants your
covenants prohibit duplexes. So there may be a problem with your
13
PZM11.22.94
covenants. But what we have to do is determine whether this use
is consistent with these criteria.
Allen: What you are hearing here tonight is NIMBYsm at it's worst.
Almost half of the letters in opposition to this tonight - -one comes
from the guy that created a duplex - -Roy Vroom who hasn't lived in
the neighborhood in years. That is why he doesn't know what is
going on. The other 2 letters come from the only people in the
neighborhood that live in a duplex.
My lot is close to half an acre in size. It is not a tiny lot.
It is 15,000sf. This house covers less than 200 of the lot. There
is SO% open space on this lot and contrary to what has been said,
I haven't pushed any dirt off my lot or close to the edge of my
lot. It is all entirely on my lot. And that dirt is going away
as soon as the backfill of the foundation is done. This is still
a single family residence. An ADU is not a unit of density. It
doesn't create a second unit. I didn't ask to max the FAR. I
didn't ask for an ADU bonus.
Bruce then closed the public hearing.
Bruce: I am going to abstain from voting. The reason for this is
that nearly all of these folks are my neighbors. I live across the
street from this lot.
Bob: I an,going to start with the recommended motion that staff
has made. I move to deny the conditional use for 1357 Mountain
View Drive finding that the application does not comply with review
standardsa
Roger seconded the motion.
Tim: I really don't think that I am happy with the presentation
o t5ie information here. I don't think that the intentions of the
applicant are to really use it as the intended use and so I think
therefore it doesn't comply with letter e. And the amount of
information that we really have I would like to see personally
enough - -I am no architect and I am not a draftsman. It is very
difficult for me to know whether or not this is a quality living
unit. The spaces that are here are really being provided with the
intention of giving a quality home to someone living in an ADU.
I would like to see elevations. I would like to see plans that I
can understand. I would like the applicant to provide us with the
amount of information that shows that not only is there an ADU
going to be provided here but it is a quality ADU and his
intentions are not to use it as an office, not to use it as a guest
unit but to have someone who is qualified to live in this and
provide quality life in this unit. I am going to vote against it
because I don't think it qualifies for e either. And I am hoping
14
C 7)
PZM11.22.94
that it does come back to us. And I hope that we basically do have
the intention of having a quality life for someone who needs an
affordable dwelling unit in this community.
Allen: I don't have any problem with that and I will comply with
what the Housing Authority wants to be done.
ROLL CALL VOTE
Steven, yes, Marta, no, Robert, yes, Tim, yes, Sara, yes, Roger,
yes, Jasmine, no.
Motion carried which was a recommendation for denial of the ADD.
LANGLEY SUBDIVISION
REZONING SPECIAL REVIEW GMOS EXEMPTION AND LANDMARK DESIGNATION
Leslie made presentation as attached in record and presented
affidavit of public notice also attached in record.
Langley: What we are trying to do is give you an idea of what the
project will have. This process has been the most confusing
convoluted thing I have ever seen in my life. We are trying to
adhere to the Aspen Area Community Plan, The Neighborhood
Guidelines, Historic Preservation Committee, Planning & Zoning,
the State Highway Department. We have jumped through as many hoops
as can be put in the way.
on the one hand we are hearing "Listen, we want the private sector
to get involved in affordable housing ". We want this to happen.
We don't want our families to have to move down valley. That is
exactly what we are doing. And at every turn it is "Well, gee This
is encroaching here. This competes with the historic house there ".
Medical school seems to be a breeze if we can get through this!
What we have endeavored to do is create a neighborhood within the
community. We had to send out 139 notices to people who live
within the 300 foot area. of those less than 231 of them had local
addresses. We are not dealing with locals here. Right now our
vision and what we are working towards is these will all be local
families. We would occupy the back center house here. It will be
free market. Can I afford a free market house - -no. Can I afford
a category 4 house - -maybe if I am lucky. The only way I am going
to get an affordable house is to do something like this.
We have responded to staff comments. We wanted to get rid of the
barn initially. We didn't get rid of the barn. Now that is being
preserved. We have taken the historic house, moved it over. This
is probably going to strengthen it from what it is now.
