3. The grant of variance will be generally consistent with
the purposes, goals, objectives, and policies of the
Aspen Area Comprehensive Plan and Chapter 24 of the
Aspen Municipal Code.
4. The grant of variance is the minimum variance that
will make possible the reasonable use of the parcel,
building or structure.
5. The literal interpretation and enforcement of the
terms of Chapter 24 of the Aspen Municipal Code
would deprive the applicant of rights commonly enjoyed
by other parcels in the same zone district, and would
cause the applicant unnecessary hardship or practical
difficulty. In determining that the applicant's rights
would be deprived absent a variance, the Board
considered certain special conditions and circum-
stances which are unique to the parcel, building or
structure, which are not applicable to other parcels,
structures or buildings in the same zone district and
which do not result from the actions of the applicant;
to wit:
The property is constrained by the non - conforming
location of the existing structure.
Section 2. Variance Granted.
The Board of Adjustment does hereby grant the applicant the
following variance from the terms of Chapter 24 of the Aspen
Municipal Code:
An 2 foot 6 inch rear yard setback variance, to allow for
construction of an elevator and laundry facility at 500 West
Hopkins.
