Attes : Jan rney, Depu City Clerk Planning and Zonin commission: Iyu��y CYO Jasmine Tygre, ChA4r 2 E4:4w(*) Y;V TO: Planning and Zoning Commission FROM: Kim Johnson, Planner RE: Grosse Conditional Use for a Detached Accessory Dwelling Unit - Public Hearing DATE: August 4, 1992 SUMMARY: The Planning Office recommends approval of the Grosse Conditional Use for a 392 s.f. accessory dwelling unit to be constructed above an existing detached garage with conditions. APPLICANT: Ed Grosse, represented by Sven Alstrom LOCATION: 100 East Sleeker, Lot K Block 65 ZONING: R -6 APPLICANT'S REQUEST: The applicant requests Conditional Use for the voluntary construction of an accessory dwelling unit as a new second story to an existing garage. The site is also occupied by a residence which is an historic landmark. The one bedroom accessory dwelling unit will be approximately 392 s.f. Because the ADU is 100% above grade the applicant is eligible for an FAR bonus for the property. No changes to the main residence is proposed at this time. The applicant has submitted floor plans and elevation drawings. See Attachment "A ". PROCESS: The Planning Commission shall make a determination on the Conditional Use for the accessory dwelling unit. REFERRAL COMMENTS: Complete referral memos are attached as Exhibit "B" Housing: The proposed unit must meet the requirements of Section 24 -5 -510 of the Aspen Municipal Code. It shall be between 300 and 700 square feet of net livable area, deed restricted to resident occupancy, and have minimum lease periods of 6 months. The deed restriction shall be approved by the Housing Office, recorded with the County Clerk, and proof of recordation forwarded to the Housing Office prior to issuance of any building permits for the site. Engineering: 1) Prior to issuance of a building permit, the Engineering Department must have on file an executed, recorded copy of an encroachment permit for the fence in the N. Garmisch St. right -of -way. 2 ) The encroachment review committee voted not to approve the garage encroachments because the structure is being substantially remodelled. Historic Preservation Committee (HPC) - On July 8, the HPC approved conceptual approval for the garage /ADU construction including the variations to building separation (3' instead of 5 height (18' rather that 16' required in the R -6 zone), and side yard setback (0' instead of 5 The HPC also requested that the City Engineer allow the encroachment to persist, finding that it was more compatible with the historic residence. If the appeal is denied by the Board of Adjustment, the applicant will revise his drawings for Final HPC review. STAFF COMMENTS: The garage onto which the proposed ADU will be added encroaches 1.8' into the alley and 1.4' into the N. Garmisch St right -of -way. An encroachment license application was reviewed by the Engineering Department and a multi - disciplinary committee who voted to not grant an encroachment license (see above Engineering comment) . This means that the garage must be reconfigured so that the north and west walls are completely within the property lines. The applicant has applied to the Zoning Board of Adjustment for a hearing in mid - August to seek relief from the City Engineer's decision. The proposed second level ADU was designed to conform to the north and west property lines, so the outcome of the Board of Adjustment will not affect this unit. Conditional Use Review Criteria: The Commission has the authority to review and approve development applications for conditional uses pursuant to the standards of Section 7 -304: A. The conditional use is consistent with the purposes, goals, objectives and standards of the Aspen Area Comprehensive Plan, and with the intent of the Zone District in which it is proposed to be located. RESPONSE: This proposed unit will allow the property to house local employees in a residential area, which complies with the zoning and Aspen Area Comprehensive Plan. 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: The accessory dwelling use is compatible with the other residential uses in the surrounding neighborhood. The unit will be an adaptive reuse of the garage structure. 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 applicant is not proposing a new parking space on site for the ADU because of the limited size of the lot. One garage space is provided for the main residence. A parking space is not required by code for a one bedroom accessory unit. Staff believes that because of the proximity to the downtown core a designated space for ADU parking is not necessary. The unit will have ground access via a stairway inside the garage. There is no other access to the main residence. No other significant impacts are anticipated. 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: All public facilities are all ready in place for the existing home and neighborhood. E. The applicant commits to supply affordable housing to meet the incremental need for increased employees generated by the conditional use. RESPONSE: The applicant must file appropriate deed restrictions for resident occupancy, including 6 month minimum leases. Proof of recordation must be forwarded to the Planning Office and Housing Office prior to issuance of any building permits. 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: This use complies with the Aspen Area Comprehensive Plan and any other applicable conditional use standards. Detached ADU Review Criteria: Specific to detached ADU's the following review criteria shall apply: 1. The proposed development is compatible and subordinate in character with the primary residence located on the parcel and with the development within the neighborhood. RESPONSE: The Victorian character of the primary residence has been considered and approved conceptually by the HPC. Reuse of the alley outbuilding is in character with the neighborhood and intent of the Cottage In -fill ordinance. 3 2. In the case where the proposed detached accessory dwelling unit is located on a Landmark designated parcel, only HPC may make dimensional variations pursuant to the standards of Section 5 -508 B. RESPONSE: As discussed in the HPC referral section above, this project has received HPC approval to variations of height, side yard setbacks, and building separation. 3. The Planning and Zoning Commission or the HPC may exempt existing non - conforming structures, being converted to a detached accessory dwelling unit, from Section 5 -508 B.2. (a- g) provided that the non - conformity is not increased. RESPONSE: This criteria does not apply as the HPC has approved the design and dimensional variations. Please Note: As this accessory dwelling unit is 100% above grade, the main structure is eligible for floor area bonus not to exceed one half of the floor area of the ADU as allowed by Ordinance 1. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Planning recommends approval of the Grosse Conditional Use for an above -grade 392 s.f. detached accessory dwelling unit with the following conditions: 1. The owner shall submit the appropriate deed restriction to the Aspen / Pitkin County Housing Office for approval. The accessory dwelling unit shall be deed restricted to resident occupancy with minimum 6 month leases. Upon approval by the Housing Office, the Owner shall record the deed restriction with the Pitkin County Clerk and Recorder's Office. 2. Prior to issuance of any building permits, a copy of the recorded deed restriction for the accessory dwelling unit must be forwarded to the Planning Office. 3. Prior to issuance of a building permit, the Engineering Department must have on file an executed, recorded copy of an encroachment permit for the fence in the N. Garmisch St. right -of -way. 4. All material representations made by the applicant in the application and during public meetings with the Planning and Zoning Commission and Historic Preservation Committee shall be adhered to and considered conditions of approval, unless otherwise amended by other conditions.

Mr. Grosse began an encroachment application with the Engineering Department on 6/7/92, following my meeting with Chuck Roth on 5/27/92. 2.) On June 12, 1992, 1 submitted a Conceptual Development Application to HPC for this project. We are scheduled for public hearing on 7/8/92. We expect Final Development approval on 7/22/92. Enclosed is our current design, as presented to HPC. This application is for the expansion of an existing non -deed restricted accessory dwelling unit. Addition of a new second floor to the garage with a small stairway addition on the ground floor describes our project. The net useable area of the ADU will be 392 square feet. The Conditional Use Hearing requested, will be to review the following: Deed Restriction and formal recording of the ADU. 2.) 3.) A variation request under the Cottage Infill Program for a reduction in the minimum distance between buildings from five (5) feet to three (3) feet. A height variatioh allowing the mean height of the main roof to be 17' - 6 ", as shown, which is l' - 6" above the 16'- 0" height restriction in the R-6 Zone Di. 2 -0 xis ��u 'l Box 551 • Aspen, Colorado 81612 303 925 1745 Kim Johnson June 16, 1992 Page 2 The proposed development is compatible and subordinate in character with the primary residence. The roof pitch, materials, windows, scale and massing are derived from a similar approach as the original Victorian residence. The proposed ADU is on the alley and does not visually impact the neighborhood. This block has many other alley structures and one secondary residence on the alley. The scale of this ADU is very modest at 392 square feet and will match the architecture and colors of the existing residence and be consistent with other carriage houses in the neighborhood. Using a A'- 0" plate height for the main roof, we still need a height variation to 17' - 6" for the main roof, to be able to provide this ADU. The development plan meets the following Conditional Use Standards, "A" through "F ": A.) The proposal is in accord with the goals of the Cottage Infill Program, to provide additional resident housing. B.) The proposal is a reuse of an existing structure. C.) There is no change in the current location, character or use of the structure. No significant visual change occurs which would adversely affect the neighborhood. No additional parking is required. D.) All required facilities currently exist on site. E.) This application creates an affordable housing unit within the guidelines of the Cottage Infill Program. F.) This application complies with all Conditional Use requirements and standards. Attached is a ZONING SUMMARY which reviews current R-6 data for this property.

This application converts an existing garage into a two level structure with an accessory dwelling unit over the existing garage. We are removing and lowering the existing garage roof structure and building a new second level, within R-6 zone district requirements. The remodeled garage /accessory dwelling unit will be much more compatible with the existing historic residence. We are using materials and colors which will be essentially identical to the existing residence. Regarding "Standard a, Attachment 4 "; this project is very compatible with the principal residence. We applied for an encroachment license for the existing garage, with the Engineering Department, on June 7, 1992. From HPC, we need variations for existing side yard setbacks and overall setback variations. We are below the site FAR total, allowable. The second floor addition to the garage is setback so as not to increase any existing non-conformities or encroachments. The ADU is located on the alley and consistent with other accessory buildings in the block, such as the secondary residence at 127 West Hallam. This cottage infill /alley project is consistent with "Standard b, Attachment 4" and parallels other alley structures within this block. This addition greatly enhances the quality of the parcel in accordance with "Standard c" and is a major improvement over the existing garage. By it's location on the property and proper use of materials and overall building size, this proposal is subordinate to the principal residence and adds to the quality of the property, responding to "Standard d ". This conceptual development plan is being tailored to both HPC and ADU requirements.
