MEMORANDUM
DATE: December 18, 1990
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Jed Caswall, City Attorney",I
RE: Collins Block Lot Line Adjustment Plat Recordation Time
Waiver.
This matter is on your consent agenda at the request of the owner
of the Collins Block seeking a waiver of the 180-day plat recor-
dation requirement as set forth in Section 7-1005E of the Land
Use Code (see attached letter).
On March 26, 1990, Council adopted Ordinance No. 12 granting
certain subdivision development approvals for the Collins Block,
including condominiumization and a lot line adjustment. Per
Section 7-1005E, "failure on the part of the applicant to record
the plat within a period of 180 days following approval by the
city council shall render the plat invalid and reconsideration
and approval of the plat by the commission and city council will
be required before its acceptance and recording, unless an exten-
sion or waiver is granted by city council for a showing of good
cause." In this instance, the applicant failed to prepare and
record the new plat reflecting the lot line adjustment by the
September 24th deadline. (There is no deadline for filing a plat
reflecting a condominiumization.)
As noted above, Council may extend or waive the 180-day recorda-
tion deadline. While the applicant here has asked for a waiver,
it would seem that the better practice would be to grant an
extension instead of wavier so that a date certain for getting a
plat recorded is established. Since the applicant failed to seek
the extension during the original 180-day recording period, a new
deadline will have to be made retroactive to the original expira-
tion date.
In conjunction with the applicant's request for a recordation
extension, several encroachment issues can be resolved and
incorporated into the new plat.
•
El
Memorandum to Mayor and City Council
December 18, 1990
Page 2
In line with the applicant's request, I have prepared a resolu-
tion for your adoption retroactively extending the plat recorda-
tion time from the initial date of September 24, 1990, to and
until March 22, 1991. This will allow for the applicant to meet
with the Engineering Department to insure an accurate delineation
of all encroachments on the new plat. A written subdivision
exemption agreement will also be prepared and executed during the
new time period.

RE: Collins Block\Sabbatini Lot Line Adjustment Plat
Dear Jed and Amy:
As discussed in my meeting with Jed on Monday, November 26,
1990 this is to request pursuant to Section 7-1005 (E) of the Aspen
Land Use Code that the 180-day recordation requirement for the
Collins Block\Sabbatini Lot Line Adjustment Plat be waived. The
requirement was not met due to inadvertence, and the Engineering
Department has since informed us that there are some overhang
encroachments in addition to the bay windows, entry doors and
sidewalk canopy that were licensed last February, that must be
licensed prior to recording. We are presently addressing these
encroachment issues and will get those processed as promptly as
possible and get the Plat recorded.
Since no harm to the City or adjoining land owners will result
from this request, we respectfully suggest that the waiver be
granted.
Sincerely,
GARFIELD & HECHT, P.C.

They are also requesting that the 2 free market units for
condominiumization and then a conditional use by P&Z as required
to make these 2 units a short term rental situation first and
deed restricting them for 6 months.
There also is going to be special review to increase the floor
area beyond 1.5 which is what is allowed but because we are
adding affordable housing they are seeking special review to
increase the floor area up to 1.77.
They are also asking for a reduction in the trash service area
which will now be located (showed on map) and a special review
for parking reduction. They intend to have special review for
parking reduction for affordable units and dedicate the 2 parking
spaces that will be included in the development of the land
parcel with the new commercial infill.
Residential units and historic landmark are not required to
provide parking.
Staff recommends approval of the proposal. Our City Council
passed the ordinance and the idea of condominiumization and the
lot line adjustment at first reading but they really didn't
discuss it. Staff recommends approval of the enlarging.
Approval of conditional use for the short term rentals and
approval of the reduction of the parking. However, the staff did
not recommend reduction in the trash in the service area.
We are recommending that 1 of the units be deed restricted to
moderate and 1 be restricted to income. In the code where it
enables them to go above 1.5 and gets this extra floor area it
says that they only have to deed restrict the units to moderate
(income but this is going to 1.33 to 1.5 and they have to mitigate
_employee housing for that portion. Therefore we are recommending
deed restricting 1 unit to low income.
Jasmine: I don't understand how this affects the employee
housing mitigation for the commercial area of the project. If
you are going to increase the commercial area there should be an
increase of the employee generation.
'Leslie: To go from 1.33 to 1.5, they are generating 1.69. When
you are eligible and you ask to increase your floor area and you
go beyond 1.5 the requirement is that 40% of that extra floor
area be dedicated to employee housing and you are not required by
code to mitigate then that additional 40%. They are applying to
provide 2 2-bedroom affordable units which really mumble

(�``�V
FROM: Amy Margerum and Lesllie Lamont, Planning
THRU: Bill Efting, Acting City Manager
RE: Collins Block Subdivision Exemption for Lot Line
Adjustment and Condominiumization, and GMQS Exemption
for Affordable Housing / Second Reading of Ordinance 12
DATE: March 26, 1990
-----------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The applicant seeks a lot line adjustment to join the
Lane Parcel, a small alley parcel with a one and one-half story
storage building, to the Collins Block. The applicant intends to
construct two affordable housing units on the Lane Parcel. When
affordable housing is constructed on -site, an external floor area
bonus is available subject to special review.
For this proposal, Council will review the lot line adjustment,
GMQS Exemption for the two affordable units, and the
condominiumization of two free market units in the Collins Block
building.
The Planning and Zoning Commission, at their March 6 meeting,
approved the: Special review for an increase in the external
FAR, GMQS Exemption for an enlargement of an Historic Landmark,
and conditional use to short-term the two free market residential
units in an Historic Landmark. The Commission denied the
reduction in trash/utility service area.
This is the second reading of Ordinance 12.
Staff recommends approval, with conditions, of the lot line
adjustment and condominiumization of the two free market units
with a housing impact fee equal to 2 two -bedroom unit, and GMQS
Exemption for two affordable units.
COUNCIL GOALS: This proposal utilizes incentives found in the
Code to accomplish goal #1: ... to ensure that an adequate amount
of affordable housing is available.
BACKGROUND: The Historic Preservation Committee granted Final
Development Plan approval to the Collins Block project last fall.
Pursuant to Section 8-104 A.1.(b)(3), the Planning Director
approved a GMQS exemption for an enlargement of an Historic
Landmark.
As you are aware, the project has already begun an extensive
remodel. The timing of the various approvals for this project
are such that the applicant could begin and complete a portion of
the building during the winter. To complete the project, the
applicant now submits this application. Please see attached HPC
referral comments.
PROBLEM DISCUSSION: The applicant proposes to adjust a portion
of the lot line to make the Lane Parcel contiguous to the Collins
Block. The lot line adjustment will also clean up the property
line between the Collins Block and Sabbatini buildings. Please
see attached site plan outlining the adjustments.
The standards for a lot line adjustment as outlined in the Code
Section 7-1003 A.l. are addressed in the attachment to this memo.
Pursuant to Section 5-210, the external floor area ratio of 1.5:1
may be increased to 2:1 by Special Review. To increase the
external floor area ratio, 60% of the additional floor area must
dedicated for restricted affordable housing. The applicants
propose to construct, on the Lane Parcel, 2 two -bedroom 754
square foot units. The units will be deed restricted to moderate
and low income Housing Authority guidelines. The units shall be
retained as rental units and the applicant requests a right of
first refusal to place eligible employees of the project in the
rental units. Please see attached referral from the Housing
Authority.
The applicants also propose to condominumize the free market
units in the Collins Block. Waiving the housing impact fee is
possible if affordable housing has been provided pursuant to
Section 8-106 (E)(5) the affordable housing guidelines for a GMP
application. The provision of affordable housing is not required
for development of this project. The two units on the Lane
Parcel will enable the bonus floor area increasing the external
floor area from 1.5:1 to 2.0:1, a housing impact fee is
applicable for condominiumization. Please see attached standards
of review for condominiumization.
HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMITTEE VOTE: unanimous FOR
KEY ISSUES: Materials and fenestration.
PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION VOTE: 5 FOR 1 AGAINST
KEY ISSUES: The Commission asked the Planning Department to
research how the restaurant in the basement could get a building
permit without direct service access onto the alley as included
in the definition section of the Code. There is a service
entrance near the alley. The applicant intends to work with the
adjacent property owner to develop an effective alley service
area for both properties.
Staff, on a different track, is considering the issuance of a
Certificate of Occupancy (CO) for the Club, but not for the
2
operation of th restaurant ich is in the Club. Until this p
issue (alley access for a restaurant) is resolved a CO will not e,
be issued for the restaurant. �`_� 0
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the application

ALTERNATIVES: 1. Council may waive the condominiumization
housing impact fee because the applicant is constructing two
affordable units on -site. 2. The lot line adjustment is denied,
thus the applicant cannot increase the external floor area and
two affordable units are not added to the City's inventory.

ATTACHMENT C - Lot Line Adjustment Review and Condominiumization
Review
1. Lot Line Adjustment - Section 7-1003 A. 1. of the Code
exempts a lot line adjustment from full subdivision with the
following review criteria:
A. It is demonstrated that the request is to correct an
engineering or survey error in a recorded plat or is to
permit an insubstantial boundary change between adjacent
parcels.
RESPONSE: According to the application: the two boundary changes
requested are insubstantial in nature and are to bring actual
boundary lines as established by existing structures into
conformance with the title lines between the adjacent parcels.
The boundary lines are being moved only .5' from the title line
because the existing building already occupies the additional .5'
of the adjacent property.
This adjustment will join the Lane Parcel to the Collins Block
thus adding 1100 square feet to the parcel.
B. Both landowners whose lot lines are being adjusted provided
written consent to the application.
RESPONSE: Both landowners have agreed to this proposal. Please
see attached affidavit.
C. It is demonstrated that the request is to address specific
hardship.
RESPONSE: The applicant explains that in order to more
efficiently provide utility service to the Collins Block, it is
necessary to join the two parcels. Connecting such services will
bring them from the utility boxes located in the alley south of
the Sabbatini Building and the Lane Parcel north across the Lane
Parcel into the back of the Collins Block building.
By joining the two parcels the applicant creates the ability to
provide affordable housing on -site thus becoming eligible for a
floor area bonus increasing the external floor area ratio from
1.5:1 to 2.0:1. Although the review for enlarging a Historic
Landmark is at P&Z, staff does not believe that negative impacts
will occur as a result of the increased floor area. In fact, the
bonus has been provided in the Code as an incentive for on -site
affordable housing.
D. The corrected plat will meet the standards of this division,
and conform to the requirements of this chapter, including
the dimensional requirements of the Zone District in which
the lots are located, except in cases of an existing
nonconforming lot, in which the adjustment shall not
increase the non -conformity of the lot.
5�
C
RESPONSE: Before filing the final plat the applicants shall
submit the plat for review and approval by the Planning and
Engineering Departments. The lot line adjustment does not create
nor increase a nonconformity of the lot.
E. It is demonstrated that the lot line adjustment will not
affect the development rights or permitted density of the
affected lots by providing the opportunity to create a new
lot for resale or development.
RESPONSE: The lot line adjustment does not create a new lot for
development or resale. It establishes the record title lines as
those established by the existing structures.
Connecting the vacant strip between the Lane Parcel and the
Collins Block enables the Collins Block to increase the external
FAR through a bonus and two affordable housing units on the Lane
Parcel. As discussed in C., affordable on -site housing, is
desired development and the enlargement of the Historic structure
will be reviewed by the P&Z. The Council will have a chance to
review the Commission's decision, as second reading of Ordinance
will occur after the P&Z meeting.
2. Condominumization - Pursuant to Section 7-1007 A., the
conversion of existing develop is exempt from full subdivision
with the following review criteria:
A. Purchase rights of existing tenants.
RESPONSE: The two units are presently under construction, there
are no existing tenants.
B. Minimum lease required.
RESPONSE: Pursuant to 7-1007 A.1.(b)(2), residential units in
Historical Landmarks in the CC zone may be leased without
restriction via conditional use P&Z approval. Note: Council will
have an opportunity at second reading of the Ordinance to review
P&Z's approval.
C. Affordable Housing Impact Fee.
RESPONSE: The applicant suggests that the impact fee be waived
because two affordable units are being constructed on the Lane
Parcel. Staff believes that the affordable units should be
viewed as the ability for the applicant to receive a FAR bonus.
The units are not required as mitigation. Therefore staff
recommends that an impact fee for the 2 three -bedroom
condominiums ($8050 for three bedroom or larger) be paid at the
time of filing the final plat.
D. Building Inspection.
RESPONSE: A final inspection will occur as a requirement of a
Certificate of Occupancy.

Ms. Leslie Lamont
ASPEN/PITKIN COUNTY PLANNING DEPARTMENT
130 South Galena Street
Aspen, Colorado 81611
Dear Leslie:
During our prior• discussions regarding the Collins Block
project, all concerned overlooked certain limitations
incorporated in the restaurant definition in Article 3 which
would have required revisions to our layout had we been aware
of these requirements.
The relevant portion of the definition is:
".. a restaurant shall be required to have service delivery
a c c e s s s from an alley or .o other off-street ............................................. t.s er.v...j..c e d.e_1....v.e..r..�.
area. If the restaurant is located off ground level, it shall
..................
have use of an elevator or dumb waiter for service access.
From my perspective, I never thought to look for limitations
in a restaurant definition (we all know what a restaurant is
don't we?). I would expect to find any such limitations
incorporated directly into the use provisions for the
relevant zone district (Sec.5-510(B) in this case), so that
it would be clear that restaurants are permitted uses only
under certain conditions.
As you know, I have been relying on Sec.5-510(d)(6) to
suggest that because the Collins Block parcel itself does not
abut the alley the parcel does not technically have a trash/
utility service area/requirement. We have always intended to
provide an area adequate for our needs, however.
Having said that, it seems to me that we are now in a
position to resolve this concern. The situation as I see it
is:
1) We now have approval for a trash/utility service area off
the alley which will meet the square footage requirement
for the entire building, even though our present
application involves only an expansion of 3600 square feet
net leaseable. There is additional storage in the Lane
Parcel Building adjacent to the service area.
2) In order to meet exiting requirements, a corridor will be
added at the south end of the Collins Block Building
opening onto the sidewalk at the southwest corner of the
bu i ]ding.
If we are unable to resolve a direct access between the
Lane Parcel and Collins Block with adjoining property
owners, this corridor will be used to service the
restaurant.
The off -•alley storage area and this accessway into the
building complies with the above definition, which
recognizes that direct access off of the alley may not
always be possible.
3) The corridor described above provides access to the
elevator being constructed in the infill structure. The
elevator serves only the restaurant level and is intended
to meet handicapped access requirements.
Because very little use of the elevator by the public is
expected it will available for use by employees of the
restaurant to transport boxes from the storage room off
the alley. The vast majority of this service function will
occur during off peak hours for• the restaurant in any
case.
Hs you know, Harley intends to continue to negotiate with the
adjoining property owners to secure a direct access between
the two parcels. In the meantime, however, we believe the
alternative service access described above is in compliance
with the requirements found in the restaurant definition.
Please give me a call at 925-•8080 if you need additional
information.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Aspen Planning and Zoning Commission
FROM: Leslie Lamont
RE: Collins Block GMQS Exemption for Enlargement of
Historic Landmark, Conditional Use for Short Term
Rentals, and Special Reviews for Increase in Floor
Area, and Reductions in Utility/Trash Service Area and
Parking for Affordable Housing
DATE: March 6, 1990
SUMMARY: The applicants are proposing to construct two
affordable housing units, expand the net leasable in the
renovated Collins Block building and condominiumize two free
market units.
The proposal requires P&Z review for the enlargement of an
Historic Landmark, Conditional Use for short term rentals in an
Historic Landmark, Special Reviews for an increase in floor area,
and reductions in utility/trash service area and parking for
affordable housing.
Staff recommends approval, with conditions, of the GMQS
Exemption, Conditional Use, and Special Reviews for the decrease
in parking and increase in floor area. Staff does not recommend
approval of the reduction in the trash and utility service area.
APPLICANT: Harley Baldwin, represented by Joe Wells
LOCATION: 204 South Mill, Lots A, B, C, and the south 20 feet of
Lots D and E, Block 88
ZONING: Commercial Core
APPLICANT'S REQUE
A) GMQS Exemption
B) Special review
C) Special review
D) Special review
E) Conditional Us,
5T: The applicant's request is five -fold:
for enlarging an Historic Landmark
for an increase in floor area
for reduction in utility/trash service area
for parking reduction for affordable housing
__ approval for short term residential rental
PROJECT HISTORY: Roxanne Eflin has prepared referral comments
for the P&Z. Her memo outlines the history of review for this
project up to this point.
There are many reviews necessary for this proposal. At Council's
February 26 meeting, they reviewed condominiumization, GMQS
exemption for affordable housing, and lot line adjustment.
The Council moved to approve, on first reading, Ordinance
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant intends to provide 2 two -
bedroom affordable housing units on -site. The provision of deed
restricted housing on -site enables an increase in external floor
area from 1.5:1 to 2.0:1. The existing building has a FAR of
1.3:1. This proposal represents an increase from 1.3:1 to
1.77:1. Sixty percent of the floor area above 1.5:1 must be
dedicated to affordable housing. An increase in FAR, above the
maximum allowable, is a Special Review. Special review is also
necessary for reduction in utility/trash service area and a
reduction of parking for affordable housing.
To provide affordable housing on -site, the applicant has
purchased the Lane Parcel. The Parcel is approximately 1,100
square feet and is located diagonally behind the Collins Block on
the alley. Through a lot line adjustment the Lane Parcel will be
joined to the Collins Block. Development of the site will
include 2 two -bedroom affordable units (1,508 sq. ft.), two
parking spaces, storage and trash area, totalling 3,504 square
feet.
Using the floor area bonus, the commercial and free market
residential square footage of the Collins Block will be expanded
by 2,141 square feet. A GMQS Exemption is required to enlarge an
Historic Landmark.
Pursuant to condominiumization of the free market units in the
Collins Block, the applicant also wishes to short term rent those
units. This requires conditional use review.
REFERRAL COMMENTS: Please see attached referral comments.
STAFF COMMENTS:
A. GMQS Exemption for Enlargement of An Historic Landmark -
Pursuant to Section 8-104 B.1(c) of the Code, the enlargement of
an Historic Landmark intended to be used as a commercial or
office development which increases the building's existing floor
area ratio and its net leasable square footage or develops more
than one residential dwelling... requires a GMQS Exemption from
the Commission.
According to this Section in the Code, the sliding scale formula,
which was developed in Ordinance 16 (Series of 1989), is intended
to provide an incentive for Historic property owners not to
increase the size of the building to the maximum allowable floor
area. Essentially, the mitigation required is reduced relative
to the amount of floor area below the maximum allowable. When an
increase in FAR reaches the maximum allowable, 100% mitigation is
required.
In the case of the Collins Block, the proposal will increase the
floor area to the maximum allowable (1.5:1). With the provision
K
of affordable housing on -site, the applicant seeks to increase
the external FAR from 1.5:1 to 1.77:1. The bonus floor area must
provide 60% affordable housing. The bonus floor area (above
1.5:1) is excluded from mitigation requirements.
Section 8-104 also specifies that affordable housing shall be
deed restricted to moderate income price and occupancy
guidelines. The Housing Authority recommends restriction to low
income guidelines for two reasons: a. the applicant would like
the right of first refusal to house employees of the Collins
Block businesses. Those businesses, except for the Caribou Club,
are intended to be retail in nature, which generally pays minimum
wage. Usually minimum wage earners are usable to meet the
moderate price guidelines; b. Mitigation is required for 1.69
employees (the generation figure for an increase in FAR from
1.3:1 to 1.5:1), pursuant to Section 8-104. The provision of
deed restricted units on -site, provides housing for 4.5
employees. However, a floor area bonus is gained and no specific
category is specified in the Code for this type of employee
housing. It is, therefore, appropriate for the Housing Authority
to specify the income guidelines for at least one unit.
Staff recommends restricting one unit to moderate income
guidelines as set forth by Section 8-104, and low income
guidelines for the second unit as recommended by the Housing
Authority.
B. Special Review - Floor Area Increase
Pursuant to Section 5-210 D(11) the external floor area ratio may
be increased from 1.5:1 to 2.0:1 through Special Review when 60%
of the additional floor area is deed restricted residential
units.
Special Review for Dimensional Requirements set out the following
conditions:
a. The mass, height, density, configuration, amount of open
space, landscaping and setbacks of the proposed development are
designed in a manner which is compatible with or enhances the
character of surrounding land uses and is consistent with the
purposes of the underlying Zone District.
RESPONSE: Any additional mass, height and density is a result of
the new affordable housing proposed for the Lane Parcel. This
proposal has been reviewed and approved conceptually by the HPC.
Because the parcel is located within the Historic District
(although not landmarked), the HPC reviews architectural
compatibility with the surrounding land uses.
There are no setback requirements in the CC district.
b. The applicant demonstrates that the proposed development will
3
•
not have adverse impacts on surrounding uses or will mitigate
those impacts, including but not limited to the effects of
shading, excess traffic, availability of parking in the
neighborhood or blocking of a designated viewplane.
RESPONSE: The development of the Lane Parcel will include two
off-street parking spaces and a trash/utility service area. The
development totals 3,504 square feet. Additional square footage
of 2,100 square feet will be added to the Collins Block, of which
615 is floor area above the 1.5:1 maximum allowable.
The two parking spaces proposed for the Lane Parcel comply with
the Code's required 2 spaces/1000 square feet of net leasable in
the CC Zone. The applicant seeks special review for a reduction
in parking for affordable housing and is reviewed below.
The Lane Parcel will not project into the Hotel Jerome Viewplane
and will not shade public property.
C. For the reduction of required open space in the Commercial
Core (CC) zone district only, the applicant demonstrates that he
provision of less than the required amount of open space on -site
will be more consistent with the character of surrounding land
uses than would be the provision of open space according to the
standard.
RESPONSE: No reduction in open space is proposed. The expansion
of the free market residential space is within the Collins Block
building. The expansion of commercial space is within the infill
building. With the addition of the Lane Parcel, there is an
adequate amount of open space to satisfy the 25% requirement.
The applicant appeared before the Board of Adjustment, receiving
a favorable ruling on the issue of the open space dimensional
definition.
C. Special Review - Reduction in Utility/Trash Service Area
Pursuant to Section 7-404 C. the following are criteria for
review:
a. There is a demonstration that given the nature of the
potential uses of the building and its total square footage, the
utility/trash service area proposed to be provided will be
adequate.
RESPONSE: The applicant suggests that the utility and trash area
are to service the expansion in net leasable which is 3,650 sq.
ft. However the total amount of net leasable, for both parcels,
is 19,649 sq. ft. which includes 1,508 sq. ft. of affordable
housing. The amount required for the trash service area is 310
sq. ft. and the applicant proposes 200 sq. ft.
The Engineering Department strongly recommends no reduction in
the trash service area. The Collins Block building presently
0
stores all of its trash dumpsters in the alley right-of-way. In
the opinion of the Engineering and Environmental Health
Departments this is the most impacted alley in the CC zone
district regarding debris. There are at least four restaurants
abutting the alley, not including the proposed Caribou Club, in
the historic buildings without enough container capacity for the
amount of refuse generated.
The applicants have interpreted the trash service requirement of
the Code to mean: if there is no alley frontage then the project
"technically did not have a trash service area requirement."
However, with the lot line adjustment of the Lane Parcel, the
Collins parcel gains alley frontage. Therefore, the project can
provide a service area abutting the alley.
The applicant also proposes to reduce the dimensions of the
service area. Instead of the required minimum depth from the
alley of 10 feet and a minimum vertical clearance of 10 feet, the
proposed area is 9 feet deep and the utility area is 5 feet deep.
Vertical clearance for both areas is 7 feet. Since BFI rolls the
bins out to the trucks, excess head clearance is not required.
Increasing the clearance of the service area would impact the
overall height of the project.
The trash service area will accommodate 5 containers, which the
applicant maintains is enough to service the project. However
staff strongly recommends that the service area not be reduced
and the required depth for the trash area be maintained.
b. Access to the utility/trash service area is adequate.
RESPONSE: Access to the area is directly off the alley.
C. Measures are provided for enclosing trash bins and making
them easily movable by trash personnel.
RESPONSE: The applicant has discussed the service area with BFI
personnel. To enclose the trash area is not desirable as it
creates an additional step in accessing the bins. To prevent ice
buildup, the storage area will be elevated and protected from
rain and snow.
d. When appropriate, provisions for trash compaction are
provided by the proposed development and measures are taken to
encourage trash compaction by other development on the block.
RESPONSE: The applicants would be willing to participate in a
district -wide system if and when all the building owners agree to
participate. The Planning Office strongly recommends that the
applicant develop an alley improvement district to address these
issues. Fifty-one percent of the property owners of the block
must agree to form an improvements district. However the

owners to determine if there
is not enough interest, the
improvement district in the
e. The area for public utility placement and maintenance is
adequate and safe for the placement of utilities.
RESPONSE: According to the application: meters are to be
located at the southwest corner of the Lane Parcel for easy
access. Power panels will be located in a room immediately off
of the carport. The Engineering Department reminds the applicant
that the meter must be on the property and cannot protrude into
the alley right-of-way.
f. Adequate provision are incorporated to ensure the
construction of the access area.
RESPONSE: Construction of the service area will be a condition
of approval.
D. Special Review - Parking Reduction for Affordable Housing
Pursuant to Section 5-301, off-street parking requirements shall
be established by Special Review.
RESPONSE: The applicant intends to make available the two
parking spaces on the Lane Parcel for retailers in the Collins
Block which complies with the parking requirement in the CC zone
for the expanded commercial space. Residential units in an
Historic Landmark are not required to provide parking therefore
the condominiums in the Collins Block do not require parking.
The Lane Parcel, however, is not Landmarked therefore a special
review for parking has been requested for the affordable units.
Staff strongly recommends that the parking for the affordable
units be exempt. A payment -in -lieu is also discouraged. The
proximity of housing to potential job sites is truly an auto
disincentive, especially if employees of the Collins Block are
housed on the Lane Parcel.
E. Conditional Use Request to Permit Short -Term Rental of
Residential Units in an Historic Landmark
Section 5-210 C. requires a conditional use review for
residential dwelling units which are located above street level
commercial uses in historic landmarks and which are not
restricted to six month minimum leases.
The applicant proposes to rent, short term, the two residential
units within the Collins Block building. Condominumization of
these two units will be reviewed by Council at their March 26
meeting.
L
Section 7-304 outlines the review criteria for a conditional use
review as follows:
A. The conditional

RESPONSE: According to the 1973 Aspen Area Land Use Plan, the
site is located in the Central Area. The purpose of the Central
Area is "to allow the primary use of land for tourist commercial
activity that is essential to the community's economic vitality
in an area that relates well to the proposed public
transportation system, the ski area and existing tourist -oriented
businesses." And the purpose of the CC zone district is "to
allow the use of land for retail and service commercial,...Hotel
and principal long term residential uses may be appropriate as
conditional uses...
The Collins Block/Lane Parcel has utilized the preservation
incentives allowing below grade net leasable to be exempt from
impact mitigation, second floor residential and parking
requirement for these units. This project has been reviewed and
encouraged by the HPC as an appropriate mix of uses for this
site.
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: There is another Landmark building, the Brand, that
includes short term rental. The rest of the land uses in the
surrounding area are commercial in nature. The negative impacts
of short term rentals should not be disruptive to the surrounding
land uses.
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 two units are located within the Collins Block
building thus minimizing the visual impacts. The HPC denied the
applicant's request to add a third floor to the building to
accommodate the free market units.
There is no parking requirement for residential units in Historic
Landmarks. Trash (as recommended) and service delivery are
provided within the project. The management of the short term
VA
0
0
units will most likely be handled by the existing management of
the Brand Building.
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: Approval of short term rentals is unlikely to have a
greater impact on public facilities and services, but staff finds
that this development should comply with trash area requirements.
E. The applicant commits to supply affordable housing to meet
the incremental need for increased employees generated by
the conditional use.
RESPONSE: The applicant is supplying affordable housing for 4.5
employees. Affordable housing on -site enables the applicant to
increase the external FAR a portion of which is being used for
the two free market units in the Collins Block.
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 complies with all the other
requirements of the Code.
Summary of Staff Issues:
1. One of the units should be deed restricted to moderate -income
guidelines as is defined in Section 8-104. The other affordable
unit should be deed restricted to low-income guidelines as
recommended by the Housing Authority.
2. The trash service area should not be reduced as the alley is
very problematic and a reduction would only exacerbate the refuse
problem. However, a reduction in the required height to 7 feet
is suitable.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of a GMQS Exemption
for enlarging an Historic Landmark, special review for a
reduction in parking and an increase in floor area, and
conditional use for short term rental units with the following
recommendations:
1. A change order on the original building permit for the 2
additional free market bedrooms shall be issued simultaneously
with a building permit for the two deed restricted units.
2. Prior to the issuance of a change order for the original
n
0
building permit for the 2 additional free market bedrooms and the
building permit for the two affordable units, an approved and
recorded copy of deed restrictions shall be received by the
Housing Authority. The units shall be deed restricted to
moderate income and low income guidelines. Monthly rents will be
indexed to net livable floor are as approved by the Housing
Authority.
3. The applicant shall be given right of first refusal to place
employees of project in units.
4. All proposed tenants will be qualified by the Housing
Authority prior to occupancy of the employee units.
5. Prior to the issuance of the Certificate of Occupancy for the
additional net leasable, a Certificate of Occupancy for the
affordable units shall be issued.
6. Prior to the issuance of a building permit for the Lane
Parcel, the applicant shall prove to the Engineering Department
that the drywells are sufficient to accommodate all drainage on
site by providing calculations from a registered engineer. All
drainage should be maintained on -site and connected to the City
storm sewer or dry wells.
7. Prior to the issuance of a demolition permit for the Lane
Parcel, a construction schedule shall be coordinated with the
Engineering Department. To minimize the impacts of construction
in the alley.
8. The applicant shall agree to join an improvements district,
if one is ever formed.

Re: Collins Block GMQS Exemption
Dear Leslie:
At the present time the Aspen Consolidated Sanitation District
has sufficient line and treatment capacity to serve this project.
With respect to the application my primary concern is that the
applicant provide separate service line connections for each of
the proposed condominiums. Our regulations require separate
service lines.
Any excavation associated with the project must ensure that
adjacent District collection lines are protected. Any existing
surface water run-off connections to our system, such as roof
drains, must be eliminated by connection to the City storm sewer
or dry well. Our regulations also require the installation of a
grease interceptor for all remodeled or new restaurants or food
handling establishments.
Please call if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Bruce Mather

From: Elyse Elliott, Engineering Departmen
Date: February 13, 1990
Re: Collins Block - GMQS Exemption, Conditional Use, Special
Review, Condom iniumization, Lot Line Adjustment & GMQS Exemption
for Affordable Housing
After reviewing the above application, the Engineering Department
has the following comments:
1. Parking - the applicant is providing 2 parking spaces.
According to the Code, 2 spaces/1000 sq. ft. of net leasable area
are required. The Lane parcel is 578 sq. ft. and providing 2
parking spaces will fulfill the requirement for the Lane parcel
only, it will not address the parking requirements for the
Hardware Building. According to the application, this project
will have a total of 19,649 sq. ft. of net leasable area. If it
is determined that the applicant should also provide parking for
the Hardware Building, a cash -in -lieu payment would be
appropriate. Will the parking spaces be available for the
housing tenants, or the shoppers?
2. Drainage - no runoff from the buildings should go onto any
public right-of-ways. All drainage should be maintained on site.
The applicant will have to prove to the Engineering Department
that the drywells are sufficient to accommodate all drainage on
site by providing calculations from a registered engineer.
3. Plat - the applicant must provide a plat that meets the
requirements of the Engineering Department.
4. Alley - we would like the applicant to re -pave the adjacent
alley.
5. Trash/Utility area - the Engineering Department does not
support a reduction of the trash/utility area. According to
section 209 (D) (6), for a net leasable area of 19,649 sq.ft.,
the applicant should provide a trash/utility area that is 31' x
101, or a total of 310 sq. ft. The applicant's proposal of an
area that is only 200 sq.` ft. is totally unacceptable. The
Hardware building presently stores all of its trash dumpsters in
the alley right-of-way. There are so many dumpsters in that
alley that it is very cluttered and hard to clean.
The meters for this should all be on the applicant's property and
none can protrude into the alley right-of-way.
•
6. Construction Schedule - this should be coordinated with the
Engineering Department. The applicant must make arrangements
with all the businesses in the alley to minimize the impacts of
construction. We would prefer if the construction did not cause
the alley to be closed.
7. Improvement district - the applicant must agree to join any
future improvement districts.
8. Easement - we would like to have a 4' x 4' pedestal easement
adjacent to the alley.

ZONING: CC
APPLICANT'S REQUEST: Applicant requests GMQS exemption fcr
affordable housing as per Section 8-104(C)(1)(c) of the Aspen City
Code.
Applicant proposes to construct on the Lane Parcel two ( 2 ) t�,,c-
bedroom loft units of 754 s.f. each to be deed restricted to the
moderate income guidelines, as permitted for historic landmarks.
The units will be retained as rental units and the Applicant
requests a right of first refusal to place eligible employees of
the project in the rental units.
HOUSING REQUIREMENTS: Section 8-104 (C)(1)(c) requires that all
housing be deed restricted in accordance with the housing
guidelines of the City Council and its housing designee.
The review of any request for exemption of housing pursuant to this
section shall include a determination of the city's need for such
housing, considering the proposed development's compliance with an
adopted housing plan, the number of dwelling units proposed and
their location, and type of dwelling units proposed, specifically
regarding the number of bedrooms in each unit, the size of the
dwelling unit, the rental/sale mix of the proposed development, and
the proposed price categories to which the dwelling units are to
be deed restricted.
The number of dwelling units proposed for this project are as
follows:
Free market sale units of two (2) three bedroom units = six
bedrooms
Employee housing rental units of two (2) two bedroom lofts = four
bedrooms
Applicant has requested that the two (2) two bedroom rental units
be restricted to moderate income price, income, and occupancy
guidelines.
Considering the housing needs of the community and the request for
right of first refusal to the retail employes of the building,
the Housing Authority recommends restriction of the two (2) two -
bedroom units to the low income, price, and occupancy_ guidelines.
The two (2) two bedroom loft units of 754 square feet fall into the
low income square footage range of 650-850 square feet for a two
bedroom unit as established by the APIMIA guidelines.

units for the Collins Block GMQS Exemption with the following
conditions:
1. The two (2) two bedroom loft units be deed restricted to
the low income price, income, and occupancy guidelines.
2. An approved and recorded copy of deed restriction for
the two employee units be received by the Housing Authority prior
to issuance of any building permits.
3. Allowable monthly rents will be indexed to net livable
floor area as approved by the Housing Authority.
4. Applicant will be given right of first refusal to place
employees of project in units. However employment can not be tied
to housing in the employee units.
5. All proposed tenants will be qualified by the Housing
Authority prior to occupancy of the employee units.
6. A minimum of six (6) consecutive month lease be provided
to the Housing Authority within ten (10) days of execution with

MEMORANDUM
To: Leslie Lamont, Planning Office
From: Roxanne Eflin, Historic Preservation Planner
Re: Collins Block and Lane Parcel, 204 S. Mill St.,
Referral comments
Date: February 20, 1990
HPC review and approval background: Over one year ago, applicant
Harley Baldwin began meeting with the Planning Office and the
HPC, to receive approval for the development of the parcel
commonly known as the Collins Block. This National Register
designated landmark housed Aspen Hardware on the ground level,
and vacant dwelling units on the second floor. The fenced -in lot
behind the historic structure, fronting on Hopkins Street, served
primarily as storage for hardware store supplies.
The applicant wished to restore the facade of the Collins Block,
lease the ground floor retail space to new tenants, build an
additional third floor to the building for free market
residential units, and construct a commercial infill structure in
the vacant lot. The HPC denied the third floor addition,
however, successfully negotiated with the applicant to allow a
small second floor "loft" within the two free market units.
The project was phased (I, II, and III), to allow ease in HPC
review, and the ability for the applicant to proceed with
excavation and foundation permits. Phase I consisted of the
facade restoration/renovation; Phase II consisted of the second
floor loft/rooftop development; Phase III consisted of the
commercial infill building. Final Development approval for the
last phase was granted in May, 1989.
During construction, a number of urgent meetings were held both
on and off -site with staff, the HPC and crew managers. The most
significant issue the HPC had to address in emergency fashion was
the removal and restoration of the entire east wall, reported to
be unstable and dangerous. This was necessary to allow
excavation and interior development work to proceed. The
restoration of the east wall was successful, using the stored,
original bricks.
Mitigation: Due to its landmark status, only the increase in net
leasable/FAR (second floor loft) must be mitigated. The
development of the Lane Parcel addresses this by providing two,
2-bedroom affordable units. Historic landmarks are exempt from
GMQS competition, however, they are not exempt from all impact
mitigation. The percentage of total buildout above grade
dictates the level of housing mitigation (Ordinance 16, Series of
1989). All below grade net leasable is exempt from impact
mitigation in historic landmarks, an incentive developed
principally to offset incompatible above -grade expansion of a
historic resource_
The Lane Parcel: The HPC granted conceptual development approval
(with conditions) on February 14, 1990 for the "Lane Parcel"
structure. This two-story alley -oriented residential building
includes two 2-bedroom, deed restricted units with covered
parking (two spaces). This parcel, now immediately adjacent to
the Collins Block parcel, is not designated historic, therefore,
no benefits or HPC variations are allowed, particularly parking.
A parking reduction of two spaces is being sought by the
applicant, which may only be granted upon Special Review.
Conclusion: The HPC and staff feel the Collins Block project has
been positive to the preservation of the Commercial Core Historic
District. The nearly 100-year old structure was in a badly
deteriorated condition, and needed immediate and significant
restorative help. We feel that the restoration of the facade,
once complete, is a tremendous effort and a gift to the
community. Staff and the HPC worked very hard and closely with
the applicant to insure a good preservation project, true to its
original character, while allowing innovative design methods to
be incorporated to serve modern needs.

Dear Harley.
We have noticed that in the newspapers you intend to open the
Caribou Club on the 24th of this month. At the present time we
have not received any response to our regulation requirements
that were addressed in Mr. Bruce Matherly's letter of 2-12-90.
We have to review the plans for service connections. surface and
roof drains, which are required to go to a dry well, and the
grease interceptor for the restaurant prior to the instailation
of these facilities as well as the proposed acceptance of this
project by our Board of Directors in their regular meeting in
April. I have enclosed Mr. Matherly's letter for your review.
In addition we also require that the plans are reviewed to
determine the tap and connection fees that must be paid prior to
your scheduled opening. I have also included ,your letter of 8-28-

Historic Landmark, Conditional Use And Special Review By The
Planning And Zoning Commission, GMQ__ S FxemAtion___FQr._Affordable
Housing, and Lot Line Adiustmen_t Review By City Council is' -tiled
on behalf of Harley Baldwin Associates.
H.P.C. granted Final Development Plan approval to the Collins
Block project last fall. The applicant then qualified for an
exemption from GMQS by the Plannina Director for an enlargement
of an Historic Landmark by not increasing the buildina's existing
floor area ratio. The project presently under construction is in
compliance with those approvals.
Because of the time required to process the reviews requested
under this new application, this approach was necessary in order
to complete only a portion of the project during the winter
season. The applicant is now ready to proceed with the
additional required reviews.
We look forward to discussing the proposal with the City in the
near future. If you need additional information please give me a

I. INTRODUCTION
This application, filed on behalf of Harley Baldwin Associates,
requests Conceptual Development Plan approval by the Historic
Preservation Committee for a new structure to be built on the
Lane Parcel, located on the south 20 feet of Lots D and E, Block
88, Aspen Townsite (referred to as the Lane Parcel) as well as a
GMQS exemption for affordable housinq on the Lane Parcel and for
an enlargement to the Collins Block and the adjacent infill
building, located on the north 80 feet of Lots A, B and C, Block
88, Aspen Townsite. Additional reviews include conditional use,
special review, condominiumization and a lot line adjustment
request.
The Collins Block was constructed in 1892. It has served as a
rooming house and a commercial building, housing from time to
time a mortuary, a hardware store, and other retail establish-
ments. The building is a designated Landmark structure with a
rating of "Excellent" and is listed on the National Register of
Historic Places.
The origins of the simple one-story structure on the Lane Parcel
are unknown, but in recent years the building has been used for
storaqe.
1
Development on the two parcels presently includes 10,956 FAR sq.
ft. on the 8,321 sq.ft. site; net leasable is 16,000 square
feet.
The project as proposed in this submission results in a net
increase in FAR square footage of 3,796 square feet, to 14,752
square feet. Net leasable space is increased by 3,649 square
feet, to 19,649 square feet, including 1,508 square feet of
affordable housing.
The applicant seeks approval to allow completion of a second -
floor loft addition internal to the existing Collins Block
structure and enclosing of the emaining ground floor roof area
as additional shop space in the infill building/ These additions
will not require any further exterior modifications of the
building on Lots A, B and C, other than the addition of shop
storefronts identical in appearance to those previously approved.
Because the time required to process the reviews included in this
application would have precluded completion of any modifications
to the building in time for tenant occupancy during this winter
season, the applicant previously sought and received all
necessary approvals for the project presently under construction
on the Collins Block site.

II.
CONCEPTUAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN APPLICATION FOR SIGNIFICANT
DEVELOPMENT (57-601(F))
The Applicant requests Conceptual Development Plan approval by
the Historic Preservation Committee to construct a new structure
on the Lane Parcel, as illustrated on the attached architectural
drawings. H.P.C. has previously granted Final Development Plan
approval to the project presently under construction on the
Collins Block site.
The project includes retail and residential expansion and afford-
able housing. A total of 14,752 FAR sq.ft. is proposed in the
project. As approved previously, the Collins Rlock project
includes 10,297 sq.ft.- the existing building on the Lane Parcel
includes an additional 659 sq.ft. Therefore, the roject
represents an expansion of,3,796 sq.ft. of FAR, includina
0
sq.ft. of affordable housing.
���-,tip per • M c �� _
The site is within the Commercial Core zone district. The
maximum FAR allowed is 1.5:1, or up to 2.0:1 by Special Review
when 60% of the additional space is affordable housing. The
FAR proposed on the two sites is 1.77:1: the on -site affordable
housing represents 66.4% of the square footage over 1.5:1 FAR.

3. Conceptual Selection of Major Building Materials -
The alley facade of the Lane Parcel buildina will be brick,
selected to match the size, color and appearance of those used on
the Collins Block. Arched double -hung painted wood windows will
also be used to mintain consistency of appearance with the
Collins Block.
The other three facades of the building adjoin private property
which is subject to probable redevelpment in the future.
Building code requirements prohibit windows in these facades,
although the applicant is prepared to install additional window
openings which would then be removed once expansion occurs on
these parcels, if this can be permitted by the City.
For similar reasons, the applicant proposes to use a concrete
masonry unit for these facades, with a pattern of banding
incorporated into the construction for added interest, as
illustrated in the architectural drawinas.
HPC has previously reviewed and approved all aspects of the
redevelopment proposal for the Collins Block site, including the
detailing of the storefronts to be utilized in completion of the
infill building.
5
4. Statement of Effect of Proposed Development Upon
Neighborhood.
The Lane Parcel is an unusual one in that it is one of the very
few parcels in the commercial core which has no street frontage
and which abuts other private property on three sides where no
setbacks are required under present zoning.
Architectural opportunities are therefore limited: a decision has
been made to detail the building as simply as possible and to
keep the height of the structure well below the height limit of
the zone district as well as that of the two important historic
structures on the block.
The uses proposed for the building are highly desireable in the
neighborhood. The need for affordable housing in the community
is well -documented and provision of a covered trash service area
and parking for the project accessed from the alley addresses a
need which could otherwise not be met.
B. CONCEPTUAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN REVIEW STANDARDS:
The proposal complies with HPC's review standards, as follows:
2
1. Compatibility
"The proposed development is compatible in character with
designated historic structures located on the parcel, and with
development on adjacent parcels when the subject site is in an H,
Historic Overlay District, or is adjacent to an Historic
Landmark. For Historic Landmarks where proposed development
would extend into front yard, side yard and rear yard setbacks,
extend into the minimum distance between buildings on the lot, or
exceed the allowed floor area, HPC shall find that such variation
is more compatible in character with the historic landmark than
would be development in accord with dimensional requirements."
The design of the proposed Lane parcel affordable housing project
is intended to provide an architecturally quiet backdrop to the
existing Victorian structures located prominently on the block.
The building materials to be used for the alley frontage have
been chosen to provide continuity and compatibility with the
neighboring structures. The proposed building is sized in scale
and massing with other buildings in the commercial core, the
height of the building is approximately 12 feet under the 40 foot
height limit in the zone district.
The only variation from the standards of the CC Zone
district which requires HPC's review is with regard to off-street
parking. Under the provision of 58-104(b)(1)(c), Enlargement of
an Historic Landmark, parking shall be provided according to the
standards of Article 5, Division 2 and 3, if HPC determines that
it can be provided on the site's surface, and be consistent with
the review standards of Article 7, Division 6.
7
Surface parking has been limited to only two spaces. Because of
the limited alley frontage, provision of two spaces of off-street
parking is all that is possible and still include provisions for
a trash service area. We therefore request that HPC approve the
off-street parking proposal for the project by finding that
provision of additional surface parking would not be compatible
with the Commercial Core Historic District.
2. Neighborhood_ Character:
"The proposed development reflects and is consistent with the
character of the neighborhood of the parcel proposed for
development."
The character of the commercial core neighbhorhood is pre-
dominantly one of two- and three-story flat -roofed masonry
structures in a mix of historic and contemporary styles.
The design of the structure to be built on the Lane Parcel anti-
cipates the ultimate expansion of the existing structure on the
neighboring property to the north, as permitted by present
zoning.
Because the Lane Parcel building is set back 80 feet from the
street and is screened in good degree by the existing structures
to the north, the proposed building will not impact greatly on
the character of the block, which is well -established by the two
historic structures built out to the streetfront.
0
3. Cultural Value:
"The proposed development enchances or does not detract from the
cultural value of designated historic structures located on the
parcel proposed for development or adjacent parcels."
The proposed building reflects the mix of quiet newer structures
interpersed with the highly articulated historic structures in
the Commercial Core. It is inevitable that the building will
some day be screened entirely from view from the street once
redevelopment occurs to the north of the site.
4. Architectural Integrity of Historic Structures:
"The proposed development enhances or does not diminish or
detract from the architectural integrity of a designated historic
structure or part thereof."
The Lane Parcel building is separated from the historic struc-
tures on the block by over 30 feet- the height of the building
has been limited to 27.5 feet -- four feet below the height of
the Collins Block and two feet below that of the Brand Building.
The simple detailing of the building is both dictated by building
code requirements and desirable to avoid detracting from the
larger, more predominant and more richly detailed historic
structures on the block.
G�
III. GMQS EXEMPTION FOR ENLARGEMENT OF AN HISTORIC LANDMARK
This application requests approval by the Planning and Zoning
Commission of exemption from GMQS procedures for an enlargement
of an Historic Landmark under the provisions of §8-104(B)(1)(c).
The Collins Block is located on the north 80 feet of Lots A, B
and C, Block 88, Aspen Townsite. The building presently includes
10,297 FAR square feet on a 7,200 sq.ft. site. An additional 659
square foot building owned by the applicant is located on the
south 20 feet of Lots D and E (the Lane Parcel).
The FAR floor area of the existing structures on the two parcels
is proposed to be increased from 10,956 sq.ft. to 14,752 sa.ft.
through the completion of the one-story infill structure to the
east of the existing building, construction of a partial third
level within the existing Collins Block building and reconstruc-
tion of the existing building on the Lane Parcel for affordable
housing, parking, trash service, storage and mechanical.
Affordable housing totallinq 1,508 square feet is proposed in the
addition to the Lane Parcel. Freemarket commercial and
residential expansion is limited to 2,141 square feet.
Exemption from GMQS for an enlargement of an Historic Landmark
may be granted by the Commission under the provisions of
68-104(B)(1)(c), as amended. To be eligible for the exemption,
10
mitigation of the projects' impacts must be addressed. The areas
of concern include the following:
1. Affordable Housing
In order to address the affordable housing requirement for the
project, it is necessary to consider the proposed expansion in
two increments. The first is the expansion from the existing FAR
floor area on the two parcels of 10,956 sq.ft. to that allowed at
1.5:1 FAR, or 12,482 sq.ft. The second is the floor area
expansion above 1.5:1 FAR, which must be 60% affordable housing.
For an enlargement of a landmark at the maximum allowed under the
external FAR provisions (at 1.5:1 FAR), the applicant must
provide 100% of the housing required to meet the threshold re-
quirement for the applicable use under GMQS provisions (58-106).
Secondly, for the 2,270 sq.ft. proposed in excess of 1.5:1, 60%
of the square footage in excess of 12,482 sq.ft., or 1,362 sq.ft.
must be restricted to affordable housing, as required under the
CC zone district dimensional requirements (§5-211(D)(11)).
To establish the affordable housing requirement for the increase
in FAR square footage from 10,956 square feet existing on the two
parcels to 12,482 square feet (@ 1.5:1 FAR), first the percentage
of the total expansion project which is devoted to commercial use
11
•
has been compared to that which is devoted to freemarket residen-
tial use:
Commercial FAR Increase: 5,810 - 5,232q.ft.
Residential FAR Increase: 5,924 - 4,361 = 1,5.ft.
Ignoring the affordable housing and non -leasable space to
establish a percentage comparison of commercial to
residential for the expansion:
578 sq.ft. of commercial (27%)
1,563 sq.ft. of residential (73%)
2,141 sq.ft.
and then applying these factors to the FAR expansion up to
1.5:1, the square footage associated with each use is as
follows:
Commercial: 27% x 1,526 = 412 sq.ft.
Residential: 73% x 1,526 = 1,114 sq.ft.
The housing obligation for the two uses would therefore be
as follows:
Commercial-
412 sq.ft. x 4.375 employees/1,000 sq.ft. = 1.80 employees
Minimum to be housed: 60% of 1.80 = 1.08 employees
(4.375 emps/1,000 sq.ft., is the median of the range of 3.5
to 5.0 emps/1,000 sq.ft. of net leasable commercial space)
Residential:
1,114 sq.ft. is 18.8% of the 5,924 sq.ft. proposed in the
two 3-bedroom units.
Freemarket population of 2 3-BR @ 3.00 = 6.00 persons (65%)
Minimum employees required to be housed = 3.23 persons (35%)
Total population: 9.23 (100%)
18.8% of the minimum of 3.23 persons = .61 persons
Total to be housed for expansion up to
1.5:1 FAR: 1.69 employees
12
The provisions of §8-104(B)(1)(c) do not include any additional
affordable housing requirement for freemarket space above 1.5:1
FAR other than the requirement that 60% of the additional FAR
square footage be restricted.
The two 2-bedroom moderate -income units of 750 sq.ft. each which
are proposed house ( 2. 25 x 2 =) 4.5 employees. This is adequate
to address the generation of the freemarket commercial and
residential space above 1.5:1 FAR (if there were such a
requirement), in addition to the generation associated with the
expansion up to 1.5:1 FAR.
Commercial FAR increase above 1.5:1 (578 - 412) = 166 sq.ft.
Residential FAR increase above 1:5:1 (1,563 - 1114=) 449_sq.ft.
If required, the housing obligation for the two uses would
therefore be as follows:
Commercial:
166 sa.ft.
x 4.375 employees/1,000 sa.ft.
=
.73 employees
Minimum to
be housed: 60% of .73
=
.44 employees
Residential:
449 sa. ft.
is 7.4% of the 5,924 sa. ft.
proposed
in the two
3-bedroom
units.
Freemarket
population of 2 3-BR @ 3.00
= 6.00
persons (65%)
Minimum employees
reauired to be housed
= 3.23
persons (35%)
Total population:
9.23
(100%)
7.4% of the
minimum of 3.23 persons
=
.24 persons
Total:
.68
employees
The total generation of 2.4 emloyees is less than the 4.5
employees which can be housed in the two 2-bedroom units.
13
2. Parking
The applicant is required to provide off-street parking if HPC
determines that surface parking can be provided consistent with
the review standards of Article 7 Division 6.
The off-street parking requirement for commercial space in the
CC -zone is 2 spaces/1,000 soft. of net leasable. The require-
ment for th 578 q.ft. commercial expnsion is therefore 1.156
spaces. Ther is no off-street parking requirement for
residential uses in historic landmarks and the off-street parking
requirement for affordable housing is to be established by
_. Special Review. ilUl`
06��
The Collins Block site is unusual in that the parcel has no alley
frontage. Two spaces are provided for the expansion on the Lane
Parcel. Because the project has limited alley frontage, this is
the maximum number of spaces which can be accommodated and still
provide for a utility and trash service area. In light of that
fact, HPC has been requested to confirm that off-street parking
in excess of the two spaces proposed cannot be accomplished on
the site in a manner which is compatible in character with the
Historic Landmark or with the Commercial Core Historic District.
14
0
3. Public Facilities and Services
The applicant must demonstrate the adequacy of utilities and
other public services to the site.
Water service for the expansion will continue to be provided by
the City of Aspen and sewage treatment is available from the
Aspen Consolidated Sanitation District. Solid waste disposal
will continue to be provided to the project by BFI; a trash
service area of 175 sq.ft. will be located on the Lane parcel for
the project. Site drainage will be engineered in compliance with
the City's regulations. The site is located on RFTA bus routes
and is 3 blocks from the Transit Center at Rubey Park. The
project is located across the street from the Aspen Fire District
station.
4. Compatibility of the Pro iect's Site Desiqn With
Surrounding Projects.
The expansion associated with the Historic Landmark has already
been judged compatible with surrounding projects as a result of
HPC's final approval of the Collins Block project. The proposed
residential expansion is entirely internal to the historic
structure and the commercial expansion requires only the addition
of storefronts in the rear portion of the infill structure.
15
The structure proposed for the Lane parcel must extend over the
entire parcel in order to maximize the amount of covered parking
and trash area as well as the affordable housing provided with
the project; this is permitted in the CC zone district.
The height of the building -- 27.5 feet -- is well below the
height limit of 40 feet in the zone district and is also below
that of the two major historic buildings on the block.
Open space for the project has also been judged compatible as a
result of HPC's prior approval. Just as there were no open areas
within the Collins Block parcel which complied with the open
space definition, there is also none on the Lane Parcel, as the
site is not open to view from the street.
The open space provided on the Collins Block parcel which com-
plies with the variance granted by the Board of Adjustment
exceeds that which was previously required for the Collins Block.
The excess open space provided is more than 25% of the size of
the Lane Parcel, and should therefore satisfy any open space
requirement associated with the Lane Parcel.
The total site coverage of the project is 7,572 sq.ft.; site
square footage is 8,321 sq.ft. The amenities provided on -site
include a restaurant, bar and ground -floor commercial space. A
utility/trash service area of approximately 200 sq.ft. is
provided off of the alley for the 3,800 sq.ft. expansion.

IV.
CONDITIONAL USE REQUEST TO PERMIT SHORT-TERM RENTAL OF
RESIDENTIAL UNITS IN AN HISTORIC LANDMARK
(Article 7, Division 3)
The applicant requests P&Z approval to permit short-term rental
of the two residential units in the landmark Collins Block
building.
Residential dwelling units located above street level commercial
uses in historic landmarks which are not restricted to six month
minimum leases are permitted as conditional uses in the
Commercial Core zone district, subject to the procedures of
Article 7, Division 3.
Conditional uses are those land uses which are generally compat-
ible with the other permitted uses in the zone district, but
which require individual review of their location, design,
configuration, intensity and density to ensure the appropriate-
ness of the land use.
The proposal complies with the applicable review standards of
Article 7, Division 3 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."
The site is located within the Central Area in the 1973 Aspen
Area Land Use Plan. The intent and purpose of this category is
"to allow the primary use of land for tourist commercial activity
that is essential to the community's economic vitality in an area
that relates well to the proposed public transportation system,
the ski area and existing tourist -oriented businesses."
The intent of the CC Zone District is "to allow the use of land
for retail and service commercial, recreation and institutional
purposes. Hotel and principal long term residential uses may be
appropriate as conditional uses, while (accessory?) residential
uses are permitted or may be appropriate as conditional uses."
The proposed use is not specifically addressed in the intent of
either the land use plan, or zone district, nor is it addressed
in the historic preservation element, but does not appear to be
inconsistent with any of those documents.
B. "The conditional use is consistent and compatible with the
character of the immediate vicinity of the parcel proposed
for development and surroundinq land uses, or enhances the
mixture of complimentary uses and activities in the
immediate vicinity of the parcel proposed for development."
19
• 0
The proposed use is consistent and compatible with the character
of the immediate vicinity, which includes ground floor commercial
uses as well as short-term residential units within the other
Landmark on the block.
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.
The proposed conditional use
is
located
entirely
within
the
existing landmark structure.
The
location,
size and
design
of
the two units therefore minimizes visual impacts and impacts on
circulation. If the two units are ever rented on a short-term
basis, operation of the two units will very likely be handled by
the existing management organization within the Brand Building.
Parking, trash and service delivery are provided within the
project to the greatest extent practical, given the limited alley
frontage, in order to minimize noise, vibrations and odor on
neighboring properties.
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.
20
There is no reason to suggest that impacts on certain public
facilities or services is greater, on average, as a result of
constant long-term occupancy than with periodic short-term use.
Overall, there is likely to be little difference in demand on the
public facilities identified with the conditional use proposed.
E. "The applicant commits to supply affordable housing to meet
the incremental need for increased employees generated by
the conditional use."
The applicant's affordable housing commitment, which exceeds that
required for the proposed expansion, is described beginning on
page 11.
F. "The proposed conditional use complies with all additional
standards imposed on it by the Aspen Area Comprehensive Plan
and by all other applicable reauirements of this chapter."
The proposal complies with all other applicable requirements of
the Land Use Code, as noted elsewhere in this submission.
Application requirements for a conditional use include the
following•
A. The general application information reauired in Sec. 6-202;
General application requirements have been addressed in Section
I, beginning on page 4.
21
•
B. A sketch plan of the site showing existing and proposed
features which are relevant to the review of the conditional
use application; and
The attached architectural drawings which describe the current
proposal are not pertinent to the consideration of the
conditional use request.
C. If the application involves development of a new structure
or expansion or exterior remodeling of an existing
structure, proposed elevations of the structure.
The conditional use proposal does not involve development of a
new structure or exterior remodeling of an existing structure.

V. SPECIAL REVIEW (Article 7, Division 4)
A. SPECIAL REVIEW FOR FLOOR AREA
Floor area in excess of 1.5:1 FAR up to 2.0:1 FAR may be approved
when the following conditions are met:
1. "The mass, height, density, configuration, amount of open
space, landscaping and setbacks of the proposed development
are designed in a manner which is compatible with or
enhances the character of surrounding land uses and is
consistent with the purposes of the underlying Zone
District."
Additional mass, height and density resulting from the project is
limited to the affordable housing project proposed for the Lane
Parcel. Open space provided with the project exceeds that
required, as discussed below. The landscaping concept for the
project, which is urban in character, has been established by the
prior approval.
There are no setback requirements in the Commercial Core and the
building of commercial projects out to the sidewalk is encouraged
under the Historic District guidelines, to maintain the historic
character of the commercial core.
23
•
11
2. "The applicant demonstrates that the proposed development
will not have adverse impacts on surrounding uses or will
mitigate those impacts, including but not limited to the
effects of shading, excess traffic, availability of parking
in the neighborhood or blocking of a designated viewplane."
The project results in the provision of two off-street parking
spaces, a trash service area and 2 two -bedroom affordable housing
units which would otherwise not be provided with the Collins
Block project. This will be accomplished through the City's
approval of only 2,100 square feet of additional net -leasable
commercial and residential space.
Even though construction on the Lane Parcel will temporarily
result in some additional shading of the underdeveloped parcel to
the north, it would be unreasonable to suggest that the adjacent
property will not be redeveloped in the future, since it is an
important private property in the heart of the Commercial Core
district. The project does not result in any additional shading
of public property and has no impact on the Hotel Jerome
viewplane.
3. "For the reduction of required open space in the Commercial
Core (CC) zone district only, the applicant demonstrates
that the provision of less than the required amount of open
space on -site will be more consistent with the character of
surrounding land uses than would be the provision of open
space according to the standard.
No reduction of required open space is proposed. First, the
expansion of residential space occurs within the Collins Block
24
Building. Secondly, the expansion of commercial space in the
area of the infill building is limited to an area which is
presently being covered with a roof under the prior approval and
therefore does not comply with the open space definition.
Finally, if a determination is made that there is an open space
requirement for the Lane Parcel (even though none of the site can
be defined as open space under the present definition), there is
an adequate amount of additional open space provided on the
Collins Block parcel to satisfy a requirement of 25% of the 1,121
sq.ft. Lane Parcel, or 280 sq.ft.
B. SPECIAL REVIEW FOR REDUCTION IN UTILITY/TRASH SERVICE AREA
Under the provisions of §5-211(a)(6), a utility/trash service
area of 200 sq.ft. is required for up to 6,000 sq.ft. of net
leasable floor area; 10 sq.ft. additional area for each 1,200
sq.ft. of additional net leasable is required, unless reduced by
P&Z by Special Review, pursuant to Article 7, Division 4.
In order to qualify for Special Review approval for a reduction
in the service area, an applicant must demonstrate compliance
with the following criteria:
25
1. "Given the nature of the potential uses of the building and
its total square footage, the utility/trash service area
proposed to be provided will be adequate."
The applicant proposes to provide a 200 sq.ft. utility and trash
service area on the Lane Parcel to serve the project, which is an
expansion in net leasable of 3,650 sq.ft.
Because the Collins Block parcel has no alley frontage, the
previously approved project technically did not have a trash
service area requirement. It has been the applicant's intention,
however, to provide a trash service area on the Lane Parcel to
serve the needs of the project.
While the proposed trash service area's size of 200 sq.ft.
complies with the square footage requirement of the Code for an
expansion of up to 6,000 sq.ft., the dimensions of the area do
not meet the Code's requirement. The area is required to have a
minimum depth from the alley of 10 feet and a minimum vertical
clearance of 10 feet.
The
trash
area
proposed is only 9 feet
deep
and the
utility area
is 5
feet
deep.
Vertical
clearance for
both
areas is
7 feet.
Experience now indicates that BFI personnel roll the 6.75 foot by
3.5 foot trash containers used in the Commercial Core into the
alley and attach the containers to the truck for emptying.
FM
Therefore, vertical clearance in excess of head clearance is not
required and would unnecessarily impact on the overall height of
the project. The depth provided is adequate to accommodate the
dimensions of the bins.
The length of the trash service area is 19.5 feet. This would
accommodate a total of 5 containers, which is adequate to service
the project.
2. "Access to the utility/trash service area is adequate."
Access to both the utility and trash areas, which are separated
from each other, is directly off of the alley.
3. "Measures are provided for enclosing trash bins and making
them easily movable by trash personnel."
In discussing the design of the trash area with BFI personnel, it
is clear that enclosing the area is not desireable in terms of
ease of trash collection, as it creates an additional step in
accessing the bins.
It has been suggested that the design of the concrete pad to
minimize ice buildup is the most important consideration in
improving the ease of operation of the trash area. The trash
storage area is well organized, protected from the elements and
elevated to minimize ice buildup.
27
CJ
4. "When appropriate, provisions for trash compaction are pro-
vided by the proposed development and measures are taken to
encourage trash compaction by other developments on the
block."
In the past, the CCLC investiqated trash compactor systems to
determine their feasiblity for use in the Commercial Core. These
efforts on the part of CCLC have apparently been shelved.
Such a system would only be feasible if all the building owners
are prepared to or required to participate in the cost of such a
system. The applicant agrees to participate in a district -wide
system when and if such a system becomes feasible.
5. "The area for public utility placement and maintenance is
adequate and safe for the placement of utilities."
Meters are to be located at the southwest corner of the Lane
Parcel for easy access. Power panels will be located in a room
immediately off of the carport.
6. "Adequate provisions are incorporated to ensure the con-
struction of the access area."
Construction of the utility/trash service area will be a
condition of approval. The applicant will be unable to secure a
building permit for the project unless the trash area is included
in the construction documents.
WK
C. SPECIAL REVIEW APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS INCLUDE:
1. The general application information required under Section
6-202.
General application requirements have been addressed in Section
I, beginning on page 4.
2. A sketch plan showing the configuration of the development
on the lot and those features of the site which are relevant
to the Special Review application.
Refer to attached architectural drawings.
3. An analysis of the characteristics of similarly situated
properties in the same Zone District and of neighboring
parcels with respect to whether these properties comply with
the dimensional, off-street parking or trash/utility service
area requirement which is subject to Special Review.
In general, virtually all applicants for expansion of commercial
projects have sought some variation in the rather generous
requirements of the trash storage in the CC zone.
This
application
complies
with the square
footage requirements
but
seeks a minor
variation
in dimensional
requirements only.

VI. CONDOMINIUMIZATION OF RESIDENTIAL UNITS
(§7-1007(A))
The applicant wishes to condominiumize the two residential units
in the Collins Block in the event that it is necessary or
desirable to sell the units in the future.
In addition to compliance with all other applicable requirements
of Subdivision (Article 7, Division 10), which will be
accomplished at the time a Plat can be prepared, the applicant is
required to address certain conditions spelled out in
97-1007(a)(1):
1. Purchase riqhts of existing tenants:
The two units are presently under construction and there are no
tenants at the present time.
2. Minimum lease required:
As stated in §7-1007(A)(1)(b)(2), residential dwelling units
which are located in historic landmarks in the CC zone and which
receive a conditional use approval pursuant to Article 7,
Division 3 may be leased without limitation.
WE
Section IV of this application requests conditional use approval
to permit short-term rental.
3. Affordable Housing Impact Fee:
The Affordable Housing Impact Fee shall apply to the condominium-
ization of new residential units (see 57-1007(A)(1)(c)(2), unless
the project shall have provided affordable housing pursuant to
GMQS procedures.
`Z J
Two 2-bedroom affordable housing units are provided with this
application, as described in Section III beginning on page 11.
r 4. Building inspection required:
It is presently anticipated that at the time of completion of the
residential units, condominium plats will be prepared and an
inspection will be accomplished as a requirement of a Certificate
of Occupancy.

VII. LOT LINE ADJUSTMENT REVIEW (57-1003(A)(a))
Under the provisions of 57-1003 of the Land Use Code, the follow-
ing development shall be exempted from the terms of Subdivision:
A. LOT LINE ADJUSTMENT. An adjustment of a lot line between
contiguous lots which are under separate ownership if all
the following conditions are met:
1.
"It is demonstrated that
the request is to correct an
engineering or survey error
in a recorded plat or is to
permit an insubstantial
boundary change between
adjacent parcels."
2.
"Both landowners whose lot lines are being adjusted
provide written consent to
the application."
3.
"It is demonstrated that
the request is to address
specific hardship."
4.
"The corrected plat will
meet the standards of this
division, and conform to
the requirements of this
chapter, including the dimensional requirements of the
Zone District in which the
lots are located, except in
cases of an existing nonconforming lot, in which the
adjustment shall not increase
the non -conformity of the
lot."
5.
"It is demonstrated that
the lot line adjustment will
not affect the development
rights or permitted density
of the affected lots by providing
the opportunity to
create a new lot for resale
or development."
An application for Subdivision Exemption for Lot Line Adjustment
was filed on August 16, 1989 by Catherine McMahon of Garfield &
32
0
•
Hecht. This application was subsequently amended and was then
scheduled for review by City Council.
In deference to the Planning Office's preference to review all
remaining applications together, the applicant agreed to table
Council's review of the Lot Line Adjustment application. For
compliance with applicable review requirements, please refer to
the prior application.
33
VIII. GMQS EXEMPTION FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING (S8-104(C)(1)(c))
All housing deed restricted in accordance with the housing
guidelines is eligible for exemption by the City Council.
The applicant proposes to construct on the Lane Parcel two 2-
bedroom loft units of 754 sq.ft. each to be restricted to the
moderate -income guidelines, as permitted for historic landmarks.
The units will be retained as rental units and the applicant
requests a right of first refusal to place eligible employees of
the project in the rental units.

AMENDED LAND USE APPLICATION
FOR
SUBDIVISION EXEMPTION
FOR
LOT LINE ADJUSTMENTS
BETWEEN
ASPEN HARDWARE AND SABBATINI BUILDINGS
A.
INTRODUCTION
This Amended Application replaces Section VI, Explanation
of Proposed Development Compliance, of Applicant's Land Use
Application submitted on August 16, 1989.
The Applicant owns two parcels of land, the Collins Block
and the Lane Parcel. At the present time, the Aspen Hardware
Building is located on the Collins Block and a storage shed is
located on the Lane Parcel. The latter structure will be
demolished in order to provide affordable housing in conjunction
with the proposed renovation of the Aspen Hardware Building.
The Sabbatini Building is located to the south of the
Collins Block and to the west of the Lane Parcel. As the Agreement
attached hereto as Exhibit A indicates, the Applicant and the owner
of the parcel on which the Sabbatini Building is located (the
"Sabbatini Parcel") wish to adjust the title boundary lines between
their respective properties for three reasons.
First, they wish to confirm an Agreement dated April 22,
1968 and recorded on February 18, 1969 in Book 239 at Page 436 in
the Pitkin County real estate records that established the boundary
line between the Collins Block and the Sabbatini Parcel to coincide
with the location of the line between the Sabbatini and Aspen
Hardware Buildings, which line is approximately .5' south of the
title line and extends approximately 85.67' from west to east
between the two buildings. (See the dotted red line on the Plat
submitted herewith.)
Second, they want the title lines to conform with the
existing structures located on the respective parcels. The Collins
Block extends an additional 4.6' east of the 85.67' boundary line
established by the 1968 Agreement (see the dotted green line on the
Plat), for a total of 90.27' from east to west. In addition, the
Sabbatini Building encroaches eastward onto the Lane Parcel
approximately .5' from east to west and approximately 19.5' from
north to south on the southern portion of the Lane Parcel. (See
the dotted blue line on the Plat.) Accordingly, the parties wish
to adjust the title boundary lines to conform with the existing
Sabbatini Building.
Finally, the 4.6' by .5' vacant strip to the north of the
Sabbatini Building on the Sabbatini Parcel and running to the
southeast corner of the Collins Block ("Vacant Strip", as outlined
in yellow on the Plat), provides the most efficient and economical
means of connecting essential utility services for the renovation
and reconstruction of the Aspen Hardware Building. The utility
boxes are located in the alley south of the Sabbatini Building and
the Lane Parcel. (The utilities will also cross a 5' by .5' vacant
parcel to the east of the Vacant Strip, but that parcel is not part
of Applicant's amended Application.)
R-19
SUBDIVISION EXEMPTION FOR
LOT LINE ADJUSTMENT
1. Code Requirements. Section 7-1003(A)(1) of the
Aspen Land Use Code ("Code") provides for a subdivision exemption
for the adjustment of a lot line between contiguous lots that are
under separate ownership if certain review standards are net. The
lot line adjustments sought are between contiguous lots under
separate ownership.
2. Review Standards. A lot line adjustment shall be
exempt from subdivision if the following conditions are met:
a. It is demonstrated that the request is to correct
an engineering or survey error in a recorded plat
or is to permit an insubstantial boundary change
between adjacent parcels. The two boundary changes
requested are insubstantial in nature and are to
bring actual boundary lines as established by
existing structures into conformance with the title
lines between the adjacent parcels. In each case,
the boundary line is being moved only .5' from the
title line because the existing buildings already
occupy the additional .5' of the adjacent property.
b. Both landowners whose lot lines are being adjusted
provide written consent to the Application. Both
landowners to this Application, as is evidenced by
the Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit A, consent
to the lot line adjustments.
C. It is demonstrated that the request is to address
specific hardship. As explained above, the lot line
adjustments will enable the Applicant to connect
essential utility services for the renovation and
reconstruction of the Aspen Hardware Building. The
most efficient and economical means of connecting
such services is to bring them from the utility
boxes located in the alley south of the Sabbatini
Building and the Lane Parcel north across the Lane
Parcel and then west into the back of the Hardware
Building at the southeast corner of the Collins
Block. Without such access, the additional cost to
• 0
Applicant will be approximately $50,000.00 to bring
utility services from the utility boxes west along
the alley into Mill Street, then north on Mill
Street and then east into the front of the Aspen
Hardware Building. In addition to the hardship to
the Applicant, this will also require disruptive
excavation in the alley and on Mill Street, causing
an inconvenience to citizens and a disruption of
traffic.
d. The corrected plat will meet the standards of this
division and conform to the requirements of this
chapter, including the dimensional requirements of
the Zone District in which the lots are located,
except in cases of an existing nonconforming lot,
in which the adjustment will not increase the non-
conformity of the lot. The corrected plat
reflecting the lot line adjustments will meet the
standards of this division and conform to the
requirements of this chapter, including the
dimensional requirements of the CC Zone. The
proposed subdivision will be consistent both with
the Aspen Area Comprehensive Plan and the character
of existing land uses in the area. It will not
adversely affect the future development of
surrounding areas, and will be in compliance with
all other applicable requirements of this chapter.
e. It is demonstrated that the lot line adjustment will
not affect the development rights or permitted
density of the affected lots by providing the
opportunity to create a new lot for resale or
development. The lot line adjustment will not
provide the opportunity to create a new lot for
resale or development. It merely establishes the
record title lines as those established by the
existing structures. In addition, the adjustment
will allow utilization by the Applicant of the small
.5' x 4.6' Vacant Strip as the most efficient and
economical means of connecting essential utility
services to the existing Aspen Hardware Building.
C.
CONCLUSION
For all of the foregoing reasons, the subdivision
exemption for the lot line adjustments should be approved. The lot
line adjustments will confirm the 1968 Agreement that established
the boundary lines between the properties to coincide with the
location of the line between the respective buildings on the
properties. They will establish the title lines to conform with
the existing structures located on both the respective parcels.
Finally, the adjustments will provide the most efficient and
economical means of connecting essential utility services to the
Applicant's building.
Sincerely yours,
GARFIELD & HECHT, P.C.

SECTION VI.
EXPLANATION OF PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT COMPLIANCE
A.
INTRODUCTION
The Applicant owns two parcels of land, the Collins Block
and the Lane Parcel. At the present time, the Aspen Hardware
Building is located on the Collins Block and a storage shed is
located on the Lane Parcel. The latter structure will be
demolished in order to provide affordable housing in conjunction
with the proposed renovation of the Aspen Hardware Building.
The Sabbatini Building is located to the south of the
Collins Block and to the west of the Lane Parcel. As the Agreement
attached hereto as Exhibit A indicates, the Applicant and the owner
of the parcel on which the Sabbatini Building is located (the
"Sabbatini Parcel") wish to adjust the title boundary lines between
their respective properties for three reasons.
First, they wish to confirm an Agreement dated April 22,
1968 and recorded on February 18, 1969 in Book 239 at Page 436 in
the Pitkin County real estate records that established the boundary
line between the Collins Block and the Sabbatini Parcel to coincide
with the location of the line between the Sabbatini and Aspen
Hardware Buildings, which line is approximately .5' south of the
title line and extends approximately 85.67' from west to east
between the two buildings. (See the dotted red line on the Plat
in Section VIII herein.)
Second, they want the title lines to conform with the
existing structures located on the respective parcels. The
Sabbatini Parcel extends an additional 9.6' east of the 85.67'
boundary line established by the 1968 Agreement (see the dotted
green line on the Plat in Section VIII herein), for a total of
95.27' from east to west, at which point it meets the Lane Parcel.
In addition, the Sabbatini Building encroaches eastward onto the
Lane Parcel approximately .5' from east to west and approximately
19.5' from north to south on the southern portion of the Lane
Parcel. (See the dotted blue line on the Plat in Section VIII
herein.) Accordingly, the parties wish to adjust the title
boundary lines to conform with the existing Sabbatini Building.
Finally, the 9.6' vacant strip to the north of the
Sabbatini Building on the Sabbatini Parcel ("Vacant Strip", as
outlined in yellow on the Plat in Section VIII herein), provides
the most efficient and economical means of connecting essential
utility services for the renovation and reconstruction of the Aspen
Hardware Building. The utility boxes are located in the alley
south of the Sabbatini Building and the Lane Parcel.
SUBDIVISION EXEMPTION FOR
LOT LINE ADJUSTMENT
1. Code Requirements. Section 7-1003(A)(1) of the
Aspen Land Use Code ("Code") provides for a subdivision exemption
•
•
for the adjustment of a lot line between contiguous lots that are
under separate ownership if certain review standards are met. The
lot line adjustments sought are between contiguous lots under
separate ownership.
2. Review Standards. A lot line adjustment shall be
exempt from subdivision if the following conditions are met:
a. It is demonstrated that the request is to correct
an engineering or survey error in a recorded plat
or is to permit an insubstantial boundary change
between adjacent parcels. The two boundary changes
requested are insubstantial in nature and are to
bring actual boundary lines as established by
existing structures into conformance with the title
lines between the adjacent parcels. In each case,
the boundary line is being moved only .5' from the
title line because the existing buildings already
occupy the additional .5' of the adjacent property.
b. Both landowners whose lot lines are being adiusted
provide written consent to the Application. Both
landowners to this Application, as is evidenced by
the Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit A, consent
to the lot line adjustments.
C. It is demonstrated that the request is to address
specific hardship. As explained above, the lot line
adjustments will enable the Applicant to connect
essential utility services for the renovation and
reconstruction of the Aspen Hardware Building. The
most efficient and economical means of connecting
such services is to bring them from the utility
boxes located in the alley south of the Sabbatini
Building and the Lane Parcel north across the Lane
Parcel and then west across the Vacant Strip into
the back of the Hardware Building. Without such
access, the additional cost to Applicant will be
approximately $50,000.00 to bring utility services
from the utility boxes west along the alley into
Mill Street, then north on Mill Street and then east
into the front of the Aspen Hardware Building. In
addition to the hardship to the Applicant, this will
also require disruptive excavation in the alley and
on Mill Street, causing an inconvenience to citizens
and a disruption of traffic.
d. The corrected plat will meet the standards of this
division and conform to the requirements of this
chapter, including the dimensional requirements of
the Zone District in which the lots are located,
except in cases of an existing nonconforming lot,
in which the adjustment will not increase the non-
conformity of the lot. The corrected plat
reflecting the lot line adjustments will meet the
standards of this division and conform to the
•
requirements of this chapter, including the
dimensional requirements of the CC Zone. The
proposed subdivision will be consistent both with
the Aspen Area Comprehensive Plan and the character
of existing land uses in the area. It will not
adversely affect the future development of
surrounding areas, and will be in compliance with
all other applicable requirements of this chapter.
e. It is demonstrated that the lot line adjustment will
not affect the development rights or permitted
density of the affected lots by providing the
opportunity to create a new lot for resale or
development. The lot line adjustment will not
provide the opportunity to create a new lot for
resale or development. It merely establishes the
record title lines as those established by the
existing structures. In addition, the adjustment
will allow utilization by the Applicant of the small
.5' x 9.6' Vacant Strip as the most efficient and
economical means of connecting essential utility
services to the existing Aspen Hardware Building.
C.
CONCLUSION
For all of the foregoing reasons, the subdivision
exemption for the lot line adjustments should be approved. The lot
line adjustments will confirm the 1968 Agreement that established
the boundary lines between the properties to coincide with the
location of the line between the respective buildings on the
properties. They will establish the title lines to conform with
the existing structures located on both the respective parcels.
Finally, the adjustments will provide the most efficient and
economical means of connecting essential utility services to the
Applicant's building.
Sincerely yours,
GARFIELD & HECHT, P.C.

the Applicant

. EXHIBIT A •
AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT is made this /+ day of August, 1989
between Harley Baldwin ("Baldwin") and Sabbatini Sport, Inc., a
Colorado corporation, ("Sabbatini Sport").
RECITALS
A. Baldwin is the record owner of the real property
known as the Collins Block and the Lane Parcel, which property is
legally described on Exhibit "A" hereto; and
B. A building commonly known as the Aspen Hardware
Building is located on the Collins Block; and
C. Sabbatini Sport is the record owner of the real
property located to the south of the Collins Block and to the west
of the Lane Parcel ("Sabbatini Parcel"), which property is legally
described on Exhibit "B" hereto; and
D. The building located on the Sabbatini Parcel
commonly known as the Sabbatini Building encroaches eastward onto
the Lane Parcel approximately .5' from east to west and
approximately 19.5' from north to south; and
E. An Agreement dated April 22, 1968 and recorded on
February 18, 1969 in Book 239 at Page 436 in the real estate
records of Pitkin County, Colorado, established the boundary line
between the Collins Block and the Sabbatini Parcel (the 111968
Agreement") to coincide with the location of the line between the
abutting Sabbatini Building and the Aspen hardware Building,
including a metal shed, which line is approximately .5' south of
the title line and extends approximately 85.67' from west to east
between the two buildings; and
F. There exists a vacant strip of land on the Sabbatini
Parcel to the north of the Sabbatini Building and to the south and
east of the Collins Block approximately .5' from north to south and
approximately 9.6' from east to west (the "Vacant Strip"); and
G. The most efficient and economigal means of
connecting essential utility services for the renovation and
reconstruction of the Aspen hardware Building is to bring such
services from the utility boxes located in the alley south of the
Sabbatini Building and the Lane Parcel north across the Lane Parcel
and then west across the Vacant Strip into the back of the Aspen
Hardware Building, utilizing the back or east wall of the Sabbatini
Building to affix, attach, and install the requisite utility
equipment; and
H. The back or east wall of the Sabbatini Building
contains a vent that is utilized by that building; and
I. The parties wish to adjust the title lines between
their respective properties to (1) confirm the 1968 Agreement, (2)
conform with the existing structures located thereon, and (3) allow
utilization by Baldwin of the back or east wall of the Sabbatini
Building and the Vacant Strip for purposes of affixing and
connecting essential utility services to the Aspen Hardware
Building.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants and
agreements hereinafter set forth, it is agreed as follows:
1. Baldwin hereby agrees to convey by bargain and sale
deed to Sabbatini Sport a portion on the west side of the Lane

2. Sabbatini Sport hereby agrees to convey by bargain
and sale deed to Baldwin a portion on the north side of the
Sabbatini Parcel approximately .5' from north to south and
approximately 95.27' from west to east, which portion is legally
described on the deed attached as Exhibit "D" hereto.
3. Baldwin warrants and represents that in utilization
of the back or east wall of the Sabbatini Building to affix, attach
and install the requisite utility equipment for the use of the
Aspen hardware Building, Baldwin shall either (i) keep the existing
vent on the east wall of the Sabbatini Building in place and
operational, or (ii) reroute the vent to the top of the Sabbatini
Building at Baldwin's sole cost and expense. In the event that the
Sabbatini Building is demolished or remodelled, Baldwin shall
remove all utility equipment from the east wall of the Sabbatini
Building at his sole cost and expense.
4. The bargain and sale deeds referred to in paragraphs
1 and 2 herein shall be executed simultaneously with the execution
of this Agreement and deposited with Albert Kern, attorney for
Sabbatini Sport ("Kern"), pending final approval by the Aspen City
Council of Baldwin's Land Use Application for Subdivision Exemption
for Lot Line Adjustments ("Application"). Upon final approval of

Recorder. In the event that final approval is not granted within
one (1) year, Kern shall return the deeds to the parties that
executed them and this Agreement shall be null and„void.
5. The Application shall be promptly submitted by
Baldwin and pursued at his sole cost and expense upon execution of
this Agreement. Sabbatini Sport shall fully and timely cooperate
with Baldwin's efforts to obtain final approval, including, but not
limited to, consenting to or joining in the Application and
