ELV June 19, 1489 OF COUNSEL: JOHN THOMAS KELLY Leslie Lamont Aspen/Pitkin County Planning Office 130 South Galena Aspen, Colorado 81611 Re: Shadow Mountain Building Dear Leslie: On behalf of our client, Shadow Mountain Associates-1989, a consolidated application is hereby made for: 1. The condominiumization of the Shadow Mountain Building; 2. A Growth Management Quota System Exemption by the Aspen Planning and Zoning Commission for expansion of office space in the basement of the Shadow Mountain Building by 500 square feet of net leasable area. 3. A Growth Management Quota System Exemption by the Aspen City Council for the construction in the Shadow Mountain Building of an additional deed -restricted affordable housing containing approximately 401 square feet. As you may recall from our pre -application conference, the Shadow Mountain Building was constructed pursuant to a commercial Growth Management Plan allocation granted by the Aspen City Council. The building currently contains two free market resi- dential units on the second floor, office space on the first floor, and one deed -restricted affordable housing unit and build- ing storage space on the garden level. The entire office space is rented to two local businesses - Executive Security International ("ESI") and Stan Mathis Archi- tects. The garden level storage space is also rented in its entirety to such tenants. ESI has requested that Shadow Mountain Associates - 1989 seek a GMQS exemption to convert 500 square feet of Shadow Mountain Associates existing storage use in the garden level to office use.. Consequently, we are submitting this appli- cation to seek such exemption. OATES, H UGHES Sc KNEZEViCH, P. C. Leslie Lamont ,Tune 19, 1989 Page 2 Conditioned upon Planning and Zoning approval of the office expansion, Shadow Mountain is prepared to construct an additional deed -restricted affordable housing unit of approximately 401 square feet on the garden level. As you know, the construction of such unit must be approved as an exemption to the GMQS by the Aspen City Council. Finally, Shadow Mountain is seeking the condominiumization of the entire building. In connection with the foregoing land use matters, we hereby submit the following documentation and infor- mation: tive: MINIMUM SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS 1. Completed Land Use Application Form; 2.

Attached is an 8' x 11" vicinity map locating the property within the City of Aspen. 10. An improvement survey and condominium map is currently being prepared and will be submitted prior to the final approval. REVIEW STANDARDS AND SPECIFIC SUBMISSION INFORMATION CONDOMINIUMIZATION 11. The condominium units are currently being constructed and have not been occupied. Consequently, there have been no tenants on the property. Therefore, no notices need be provided in regard to the rights of first refusal as required by Section 7-1008(A)(1)(a) of the Aspen City Code. 12. Upon approval of the condominiumization, all of the residential condominium units will be deed restricted by the following rental restrictions: "Rental of any condominium unit shall bg restricted to six (6) month minimum leases; wfith no, more than two' 2) shorter tenancies per year." 13. The buildings proposed for condominiumization will he inspected by the City of Aspen Building Department throughout the various phases of construction. 14. Pursuant to Aspen Land Use Code Section 7-1008(c), Applicant shall pay an affordable housing impact fee of $8,400.O0 based on two residential units being condominiumized as one - bedroom units. t4 REVIEW STANDARDS AND SPECIFIC SUBMISSION INFORMATION GMQS EXEMPTION - OFFICE EXPANSION 15. Attached is a sketch plan showing the proposed loca- tion of the existing basement storage space that is proposed to be converted to 500 square feet of office space. OATES, HUGHES & KNEZEVICH, P. C. Leslie Lamont June 19, 1989 Page 4 16. No drawings of the elevations of the proposed devel- opment have been included due to the fact that the entire square footage is simply a conversion of existing below grade storage space. Since th-6 cspt on request seeks only to change the uike of existing storage space into office usage, the proposed office space will have no additional visual impact on the community. 17. The proposed office expansion will have minimal impact upon the City because: a. No additional employees will be generated by the expansion. The space to be converted to office space is currently under lease to ESI for six years for storage purposes. The conversion of the storage space to office space is not for the purpose of expansion of additional employees but is instead intended to afford existing ;employees more working area and also to provide ESI more efficiency in servicing its inventory stockroom which swill still be located on the garden level; b. Since the expansion will not generate additional employees, no employee housing will be provided; C. Since the expansion will not generate additional employees, no additional parking will be provided; d. Since the expansion will simply change the use of existing basement storage to office use, no additional demands will be placed upon the City's public facilities from the expansion.

Attached is a sketch plan showing the proposed loca- tion of the additional deed -restricted housing unit. 19. No drawings of the elevations of the proposed devel- opment have been included due to the fact that the entire square footage is simply a conversion of existing below -grade storage space. Since the exemption request seeks only to change the use of existing storage space into affordable housing usage, the proposed affordable housing will have no additional visual impact on the community. OA'CES, HUGHES & KNEZEVICH, P. C. Leslie Lamont June 19, 1989 Page 5 20. The need for additional affordable housing has been consistently maintained by the Aspen City Council. 21. The proposed affordable housing unit will be an efficiency unit containing approximately 401 square feet. The unit will be deed -restricted to the moderate income guidelines, established by the City of Aspen. Since the unit will be condo- miniumized, it will be capable of being sold or rented pursuant to such guidelines.

Because we only have one hour to cover the agenda I have placed, what I believe, to be the least time consuming items first. Item I. Request for Proposal for the development of Affordable Resident Housing. Discussion: The Housing Authority has suggested that we issue a blanket Request for Proposals to the community for the development of Affordable Resident Housing. The only criteria would be that the proposal identify the land and demonstrate that the anticipated project would be affordable when completed. Item II. Priority for emergency/volunteer workers for deed restricted housing. Discussion: Should emergency/volunteer workers have priority for sale & rental Affordable Resident Housing? As more and more Aspen emergency/volunteer workers, e.g., Fire Department, Mountain Rescue, are forced to live down valley the quality of there services will suffer, or the city may find itself in the position of either no service or paid professionals. Recommendation/Request: It is my opinion that volunteers and professional emergency workers should be given all opportunities available to live in the Aspen Metropolitan Area. I base this opinion on economic, as well as, public safety concerns. It is economically sound for a community the size of Aspen to have services such as Mountain Rescue and the Fire Department manned by volunteers, there are not that many fires or rescue operations to justify a paid department. As far as public safety, it does not take much imagination to understand what would happen if there was a fire after 6:00 p.m. or on a weekend and the community's volunteer Fire Department lived down valley. Therefore, I request that you instruct the Housing Department to include as a priority for sale/rental of Affordable Residential Housing volunteer and paid emergency workers.

Within these cost breakdowns you will find actual fees charged by governmental agencies for employee unit plan checks, water taps, sewer taps, park dedication, electric service, as well as employee housing fees for condominiumization (even though those impacts were previously assessed in the GMQS): These fees (numbered 4 through 9) when added to the staggering Aspen costs of land and construction, make it impossible to con- struct employee housing in anything other than large attached public housing projects. My concern is that if we are to preserve the community fabric of Aspen, we cannot assess these fees and expect that anyone will construct employee units within the City. Under separate cover,I will make formal application to City, Council for the return of these fees as they are clearly inhibiting the ability to construct low impact „first quality employee housing within the City. As the founding partner of Centennial Aspen, and an Aspen resident, I look forward to continuing to work with you and the Housing James Adamski July 13, 1989 Page two Authority in the creation of affordable housing in the upper Roaring Fork Valley.

Galena Street Aspen, Colorado 81611 Re: Shadow Mountain Building Condominiumization and GMQS Exemptions Dear Leslie: In response to Alan Richman's letter dated July 19, 1989, I am enclosing the improvement survey for the property that was just completed by Alpine Surveys. Alan also requested that we submit a table illustrating the following FAR Calculations: a. Amount of residential existing FAR - 2,900 square feet; b. Amount of commercial existing FAR - 1,772; C. Amount of residential proposed FAR - 2,900 square feet; and d. Amount of commercial proposed FAR - 1,772 square feet. As can be seen from the foregoing table, the FAR calculations do not change. The reason for this is that all areas proposed to be changed in the land use application are existing below grade areas that are not included within FAR calculations. Alan Richman also requested an explanation in regard to parking spaces. The building was required to provide seven parking spaces. Such parking spaces are being built as explained in the land use application, the conversion of the existing storage area into office area will not create additional employees as employees from the main floor would be moved downstairs. Consequently additional parking space is not needed. In addition, following the concepts contained in the Accessory Dwelling Unit provisions of newly enacted Sec. 5-510 of the City Land Use Code, the additional studio employee housing unit does not require a parking place. OATES, HUGHES & KNEZEVICH, Y. C. Page 2 Hopefully, that will address the questions raised by Allen. Leslie if you have any further questions in regard to the application I would be more than willing to sit down and discuss them with you. Sincerely, OATES & KNEZEVICH, P.C. By: .c A.

Sincerely, Debbie Skehan Administrative Assistant • To: Leslie Lamont, Planning Office From: Elyse Elliott, Engineering Department Date: September 29, 1989 Re: Shadow Mountain Building Condominiumization & GMQS Exemptions The Engineering Department has the following comments on the above application: 1. Plat - a plat must be approved by the Engineering Department. We are particularly looking for the plat to depict the parking spaces and the dumpster location. The applicant must show that there is adequate room for the required amount of parking. 2. Sidewalk - the applicant must install a sidewalk on the Main Street frontage that complies with requests from the HPC. I feel that a bridge over the irrigation ditches will be necessary. Normally, we would require the applicant to install a sidewalk on the 5th Street frontage also. However, since Council is not sure about allowing sidewalks on side streets at this time, the applicant should agree to install a sidewalk on 5th Street at any time in the future that the Council deems it appropi-iate. 3. Alley - the applicant should grade an apply road base to the alley. 4. Improvement District - the applicant should agree to join future improvement districts. 5. Easement - we would like to have a 4' x 4' easement granted to the City for utility purposes. • I_DI _,ecol LoaDili 4 TO: City Engineer Housing Director FROM: Leslie Lamont, Planning Office RE: Shadow Mountain Building Condominiumization & GMQS Exemptions DATE: September 6, 1989 Attached for your review and comments is an application from Rick Knezevich on behalf of Shadow Mountain Associates requesting Condominiumization and GMQS Exemptions. Please review this material and return your comments no later than October 4th. Thank you. u MEMORANDUM TO: Aspen Planning and Zoning Commission FROM: Leslie Lamont, Planner RE: Shadow Mountain GMQS Exemption for Expansion of Office Use - Consent Agenda DATE: October 3, 1989 SUMMARY: The applicant proposes to convert 500 square feet of storage space into auxiliary office space to be occupied by a current tenant of the building. Section 8-104 B. requires the expansion of commercial or office uses up to 500 square feet to be reviewed by the Planning and Zoning Commission. The applicant is also seeking a GMQS exemption to provide a second deed restricted, to moderate income, an employee unit in the lower level and a condominiumization for the whole building. The request for a GMQS exemption and condominiumization must be reviewed and approved by the City Council. APPLICANT: Shadow Mountain Associates LOCATION: 601 West Main Street ZONING: Office APPLICANT'S REQUEST: GMQS Exemption for the conversion of storage space into 500 square feet of office space in lower floor. STAFF COMMENTS: Section 8-104 B. requires that a demonstration that the expansion will have minimal impact upon the City. There will be no new employees added with the new space. The current book keeper for Executive Security International will occupy space the proposed 500 square feet of office space. Because no new employees will be added there is no need for additional parking or employee housing. There will be no visual impact from the expansion as it will occur below grade in the lower level and the space already exists. The conversion to office space will not create an additional demand on City services. The storage space that is being converted into usable/habitable space shall however, provide handicap access to the floor level by a handicap ramp, lift, elevator or other approved means according to the State of Colorado Statutes. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning and Zoning • E Commission approve the GMQS exemption for office expansion with the following condition: 1. The storage space that is being converted into usable/habitable space shall provide handicap access to the floor level by a handicap ramp, lift, elevator or other approved means according to the State of Colorado Statutes, and the provision of the handicap access shall be reviewed and approved by the Building Department. 11/shadowpz MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor and Council THRU: Robert S. Anderson, Jr., City Manager FROM: Leslie Lamont, Planner ao& RE: Shadow Mountain Affordable Housing GMQS Exemption and Condominiumization - Consent Agenda DATE: October 9, 1989 SUMMARY: The Planning Department recommends approval of the consent agenda with conditions for the GMQS Affordable Housing Exemption and condominiumization. BACKGROUND: The applicant seeks to exempt a deed restricted, moderate income, employee housing unit and condominiumization of the building. The Shadow Mountain Building was constructed with a commercial Growth Management Plan allocation granted by the Aspen City Council in 1986, with subsequent amendments in 1988. To meet the employee housing requirements the applicant has provided a two bedroom, deed restricted to moderate income, unit on -site. The applicant has proposed to provide another studio, deed restricted to moderate income, employee unit within the building. Pursuant to Section 8-104 C. affordable housing may be exempted by the City Council. The applicant also seeks a condominiumization for the building. The building contains 2,900 square feet of residential FAR but this excludes the below grade employee units which are 702.5 and 401 square feet. There is 1,772 square feet of commercial space, which does not include the 500 below grade storage space that is being converted from a storage space into an office space. This addition of office space is a GMQS Exemption by the Planning and Zoning Commission. REFERRAL COMMENTS: Attached are the referral comments from the Engineering Department. PROBLEM DISCUSSION: 1. GMQS Exemption for Affordable Housing: The applicant proposes to provide a 401 square foot employee dwelling unit to be deed restricted to moderate income. T h e dwelling unit shall be reviewed and approved by the Housing 0 0 Authority pursuant to their guidelines. Please see attached plan. 2. Condominiumization: Section 7-1008 outlines the criteria for condominiumization. The building is being constructed and has not been occupied. Therefore no notices need to be provided to existing tenants regarding the sale of units. The applicant agrees to deed restrict the residential condominium units to a six month minimum lease and not more than two shorter tenancies per year. The building has been and will continue to be inspected by the City of Aspen Building department during the various phases of construction. The applicant shall pay an affordable housing impact fee of $8,400.00 based on two residential units being condominiumized as one bedroom units. The affordable housing that has been provided on site represents the housing impact generated through the construction of the office space. The Code requires a parking space to, be 18 feet long. The August 3, 1989 survey indicates that the places are only 17 1/2 feet long. The Zoning Officer does not feel this is significant and recommends that the applicant seek a variance from the Board of Appeals. RECOMMENDATION: I move to approve the GMQS Affordable Housing Exemption and the condominiumization for the Shadow Mountain Building with the following conditions: 1. A final plat shall be filed and approved by the Engineering Department. The plat shall indicate the trash service area with easements, and parking spaces. 2. Prior to filing the final plat, the applicant shall seek a variance from the Board of Appeals fo? a reduction in the length of parking spaces-. 3. Prior to submission of a final plat an Affordable Housing Impact fee of $8,400.00 shall be paid to the Finance Director. 4. The applicant shall, prior to recording the plat, submit a statement of subdivision exemption in a form acceptable to the City Attorney which shall include that the applicant will join any improvement district (including Main Street improvements district as per HPC guidelines) that is formed and the property E • 0 is subject to a six month minimum lease agreement for both residential units. 5.
