DATE: February 28, 1994 .
RE: Snow Queen Lodge Growth Management Exemption for an
Affordable Housing Unit - Second Reading of Ordinance 1,
1994
SUMMARY: The applicant seeks to construct a manager ' s apartment
deed restricted to Category 3 price/income level on the Snow Queen
Lodge property. This is a GMQS Exemption by Council with review
and recommendation from the Commission.
The Planning Commission reviewed this proposal on September 21,
1993 and with a 5-0 vote recommended approval with conditions.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION: None.
BACKGROUND/ PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Norma Dolle and Larry Ledingham
(the applicants) seek GMQS Exemption in a LP (Lodge Preservation)
zone for the construction of an 800 s. f. manager ' s quarters on the
northwest corner of the lodge building. Part of the addition also
includes a bathroom for one of the guest rooms. Please refer to
the application text and drawings, Exhibit "A" . The existing
structure is approximately 2 , 500 s. f. Proposed FAR is
approximately 3 , 300 s. f. The two level addition will contain the
kitchen, living and dining areas on the upper floor and the bedroom
on the ground level. The project is located at 124 E. Cooper Ave.
(Lot Q and east half of Lot P, Block 69, City and Townsite of
Aspen)
Although the structure is on the Inventory of Historic Sites and
Structures, HPC does not review the design of additions on
inventoried structures.
Referral Comments: For complete referral memos, please see Exhibit
"B" .
CURRENT ISSUES: Staff discussion of the GMQS Exemption review
criteria is contained in Exhibit "C" . Specifically, the unit must
be used by lodge employees as required by the LP zone. The unit
is part of the lodge property and cannot be sold off separately.
Staff and the Commission believe that this proposal supports the
concept of owners being able to live and work at their small
lodges. The Housing Office believes that Category 3 restriction
is a reasonable deed restriction for this GMQS Exemption proposal.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: Planning processing fees for this
application have been waived because of the policy to process
affordable housing units at no charge. The applicant is aware that
other building permit, park, tap and utility fees will apply to
the new construction.
RECOMMENDATION: The Planning Commission recommends approval of the
Snow Queen Lodge GMQS Exemption for a Category 3 deed restricted
unit with the following conditions which are included in Ordinance
1, 1994 :
1. The owner shall submit appropriate deed restrictions to the
Aspen/Pitkin County Housing Authority for approval, prior to
issuance of any building permits. The units shall be deed
restricted to Category 3 occupancy. Upon approval by the Housing
Authority, the Owner shall record the deed restrictions with the
Pitkin County Clerk and Recorder ' s Office.
2 . Prior to issuance of any building permits for the property, a
copy of the recorded deed restrictions for the new dwelling unit
must be forwarded to the Planning Office.
� �` 3 . The shed in the northwest area of the property shall be removed
A�Y'Oand a fifth parking space shall be added off of the alley. All
parking spaces must be shown and dimensioned on the site plan
d included for a building permit.
4 . The site plan for building permit shall indicate the trash
storage area for this project.
4))1 5. Prior to issuance of any building permit, the applicant shall
state in a letter to the Engineering Department that the applicant
U' 2 , recognizes the fact that their fence is located within the East
Copper right-of-way. Should the right-of-way be desired by the
City, the applicant shall remove the fence. This letter shall be
recorded with the Pitkin County Clerk and Recorder ' s Office.
6. All material representations made by the applicant in the
application and during public meetings with the Planning and Zoning
Commission and City Council shall be adhered to and considered
conditions of approval, unless otherwise amended by other
conditions.
ALTERNATIVES: The Council could establish a different deed
restriction category for the unit, alter the conditions as
recommended, or deny the GMQS Exemption request. If occupants
exceed the asset limits or income limits established by the Housing
Office, the occupants are eligible for a special review hearing
through the Housing Office.

SNOW QUEEN LODGE
Employee Addition
The Snow Queen Lodge is a Victorian Bed & Breakfast Built around
1886 . It has been operating as such since the early 1970 ' s . There
are a total of seven bedrooms; One room is used for the
Managers 'quarters year round and another short term room is
rented to two seasonal employees . This leaves -.5 rooms to be
tented short term. There are six bathrooms and $wo kitchens; one
of the kitchens is shared communally during the Summer months for
the Music students . The approximate square footage of the lodge
is% 2, 500, while the lot it sits on is 4500 sq. ft . Part of the
Snow Queen includes an addition that was built on in 1986 . The
addition consists of 2 rental rooms plus the re-building of the
office and Managers ' living quarters .
Over the past ten years, the number of pillows for short term
rent has decreased from 18 to 12; This has to do mainly with
improving the quality of the guests stay. Having such a small
number of pillows, the Snow Queen does not generate much income
and can' t afford to pay a normal Managers ' salary. We have also
had to give up one of our short term rooms to house two seasonal
employeess which has cut down further on our income . The present
Managers ' quarters consist of a bedroom and bathroom of about 180
sq. ft . which is quite a small space to live in as a permanent
residence . This means the possibilty of having the Manager live
off site which would have a negative impact on the operation of
the lodge . We feel that a separate Managers ' residence of about
800 square feet built on to the back of the lodge would enhance
the Snow Queen in several ways; Having a larger living space
would provide an extra incentive to keep the Manager working
here . It would also improve the quality of the property by
keeping the Manager living on site . By moving our employees into
the present Managers ' quarters we could once again use their room
as. a short term rental . The proposed project would not affect the
visual impact of the Snow Queen from the street as it will be
built on to the back next to the alley. Our current on site
parking is 4 spaces and these will remain . We should be able to
create one additional parking space by removing an old shed on
the back of the property. During the proposed addition we also
hope to improve and upgrade the Snow Queen by adding a private
,bath on to one of the existing rooms that currently shares a
bathroom. We get more and more requests for rooms with private
baths and feel this improvement will benefit both the guests and
our business .
It should be noted that we have already gone before the board -of id _
adjustments to receive a 3 . 6 foot side yard variance for a i! !
distance of 36 feet; We were granted the variance for 33 feet and a'7;
we are including the motion from said meeting . We are also '' ;
including a breakdown of the square footage of the Lodge .
Sincerely, .�Zy

Message:
Per our conversation, the Housing Office would like to see the deed
restriction state that should this be rented out to anyone other than
the resident/manager, that no higher than a Category 3 rent can be
charged. Also, this individual must be a full-time employee as to
the definition of the Housing Office's Guidelines. Rent does not
have to be charged on this unit, but if it is, a Category 3 maximum
limit should be stated in the deed restriction. Once this is
approved, I can work with the applicant to get this completed.

MEMORANDUM
To: Kim Johnson, Planning Office
From: Chuck Roth, City Engineer Cc.
Date: September 5, 1993
Re: Snow Queen GMQS Exemption for Affordable Housing and Special Review for
FAR in the LP Zone
Having reviewed the above referenced application, and having made a site inspection. the
Engineering Department •has the following comments:
I. Parking - The building permit site plan must indicate the dimensions of the parkins
spaces. The minimum code requirement is 8 1/2' x 18' x 7' high for head-in spaces.
2. Sidewalk - The existing sidewalk does not conform to the guidelines of The Pedestria-
Bikeway Plan, however redevelopment of the sidewalk area would not be required unless
the site were being entirely redeveloped.
Four sections of the sidewalk surface are extensively spatted, i.e. with surface finish
flaked or chipped off. These sections should he repaired or preferably replaced prior ::
issuance of a certificate of occupancy.
3. Encroachments - As shown on the improvement survey, the fence along Cooper
Avenue encroaches into the public right-of-way. (The fence along the west boundary
encroaches into the neighbor's parcel.) The applicant must apply for an encroachmer.:
license for the fence in the Cooper Avenue right-of-way prior to issuance of a buildir._
permit. Applications are available from this department. The application fee is $320.
At this time, there is no obvious reason why an encroachment license would be
denied. Alternatively, the applicant could relocate the fence onto the applicant's priva:e
property.
The encroachment license must be obtained or the fence relocated prior to issuance
of a certificate of occupancy.
4. Trash - Neither the site improvement survey nor the development plans indicate a
trash storage area. It appears that the applicant shares a dumpster with one of the :
neighbors. Both of the neighbors' dumpsters appear to be located in the alley right-of-
way. The building permit application plans must indicate a trash storage area on the
applicant's property. Providing a trash storage area may involve removing an old concre:e
slab and pouring a new one. If a dumpster pad is constructed that straddles a neighbo
•
property line, there will still he space to meet parking dimension requirements.
5. Site Drainage - Storm runoff does not appear to be a problem at this site. Roof
drains daylight on site, and the existing parking area is gravel surfaced and is slightly below
alley grade. The applicant is advised that development applications are typically approved
subject to maintaining storm runoff on the applicant's property and not conveying or
increasing storm runoff to city streets and alleys.
6. Development in the Public Right-of-way - Given the continuous problems of
unapproved work and development in public rights-of-way, the applicant is advised as
follows:
The applicant shall consult city engineering (920-5080) for design
considerations of development within public rights-of-way, parks department •
(920-5120) for vegetation species, and shall obtain permits for any work or
development, including landscaping, within public rights-of-way from city
streets department (920-5130).
Approval of building permit plans does not constitute approval of design or work in the
public right-of-way.
Recommended Conditions of Approval
1. The building permit plans shall indicate (a) the dimensions of the parking spaces and
(h) a trash storage location out of the alley right-of-way.
2. Four sections of sidewalk shall be repaired or replaced prior to issuance of a C.O.
3. An encroachment license must be applied for at the City Engineering Department
prior to issuance of a building permit, or the fences must be indicated on the building
permit drawings to he relocated onto private property. The encroachment license must
he obtained. or the fence relocated, prior to issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy.

Approved , 19 _
°•r Ordinance
STAFF COMMENTS: GMOS Exemption for Affordable Housing: Pursuant
to Section 8-104 C. 1 (c) the Council shall exempt deed restricted
housing that is provided in accordance with the housing guidelines.
However the Commission shall review and make a recommendation to
Council regarding the housing package. According to the Code, 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, the 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.
RESPONSE: The Snow Queen Lodge has seven bedroom7, on boring used
by two employees and one used by the manager (180 s . f. ) . This
situation cuts into the available rooms for guests down to five.
The applicant is voluntarily proposing to construct the new
manager's apartment for the benefit of the manager and to replace
a room for lodge accommodation.
The deed restriction recommended by the Housing Office is Category
3, which allows monthly rent up to $910. 00 and maximum household
income of $50,000. 00 . This restriction is agreeable to the
applicant.
Affordable housing for lodge employees is listr-d as a permitted use
in the LP zone. The proposed addition received a side yard setback
variance from the Zoning Board of Adjustment in May 1993 , and
otherwise complies with the dimensional requirements of the LP
zone. According to the Land Use Code, parking for residential use
is N/A (not applicable) in the LP district. There are currently
4 parking spaces on-site, with the opportunity to add one more if
a small shed is removed. Since the new affordable unit is allowing
a bedroom to be re-established for guest use and the shed is
already an encroachment onto the neighboring prcr.=rty, staff
recommends that it be removed and an additional y.-avel parking
space be accommodated off of the alley for a total of five on-site
spaces.

MEMORANDUM 1/ri d
TO: Aspen Planning and Zoning Commission 6- °
FROM: Kim Johnson, Planning
RE: Snow Queen Lodge - GMQS Exemption for an Affordable
Housing Unit and Special Review for FAR in a Lodge
Preservation Zone District
DATE: September 21, 1993
SUMMARY: The applicant seeks to construct a manager' s apartment
deed restricted to Category 3 price/income level on the Snow Queen
Lodge property. This is a GMQS exemption by Council with review
and recommendation from the Commission. Also necessary by the
Commission is Special Review for floor area ratio in an LP zone.
Staff recommends approval of the GMQS Exemption and Special Review
with conditions.
APPLICANT: Norma Dolle and Larry Ledingham, represented by Larry
Ledingham
LOCATION: 124 E. Cooper Ave. (Lot Q and east half of Lot P, Block
69, City and Townsite of Aspen)
ZONING: (LP) Lodge Preservation
APPLICANT'S REQUEST: The applicant seeks GMQS Exemption and
Special Review for FAR in a LP zone for the construction of an 800
s.f. manager's quarters on the northwest corner of the lodge
building. Part of the addition also includes a bathroom for one
of the guest rooms. Please refer to the application text and
drawings, Exhibit "A" . The existing structure is approximately
2, 500 s. f. Proposed FAR is therefore approximately 3 , 300 s. f. The
two level addition will contain the kitchen, living and dining
areas on the upper floor and the bedroom on the ground level.
REFERRAL COMMENTS: For complete referral memos, please see Exhibit
"B"
Engineering: 1) The sidewalk in front of the lodge needs repair.
2) The fence along E. Cooper is encroaching into the public right-
of-way.
3) The project's trash storage area needs to be identified.
Housing Authority: The Housing Office supports this request and
recommends Category 3 deed restriction for the unit.
STAFF COMMENTS: GMOS Exemption for Affordable Housing: Pursuant
to Section 8-104 C. 1 (c) the Council shall exempt deed restricted
housing that is provided in accordance with the housing guidelines.
However the Commission shall review and make a recommendation to
Council regarding the housing package. According to the Code, 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, the 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.
RESPONSE: The Snow Queen Lodge has seven bedrooms, one being used
by two employees and one used by the manager (180 s. f. ) . This
situation cuts into the available rooms for guests down to five.
The applicant is voluntarily proposing to construct the new
manager's apartment for the benefit of the manager and to replace
a room for lodge accommodation.
The deed restriction recommended by the Housing Office is Category
3 , which allows monthly rent up to $910.00 and maximum household
income of $50,000. 00. This restriction is agreeable to the
applicant.
Affordable housing for lodge employees is listed as a permitted use
in the LP zone. The proposed addition received a side yard setback
variance from the Zoning Board of Adjustment in May 1993 , and
otherwise complies with the dimensional requirements of the LP
zone. According to the Land Use Code, parking for residential use
is N/A (not applicable) in the LP district. There are currently
4 parking spaces on-site, with the opportunity to add one more if
a small shed is removed. Since the new affordable unit is allowing
a bedroom to be re-established for guest use and the shed is
already an encroachment onto the neighboring property, staff
recommends that it be removed and an additional gravel parking
space be accommodated off of the alley for a total of five on-site
spaces.
Special Review for FAR in a LP zone: The dimensional requirements
of the PL zone district require FAR to be approved by Special
Review, but shall not exceed 1: 1. Section 7-404 A. 1 and 2 .
establish the standards as follows:
1. The mass, height, density, configuration, amount of open
space, landscaping and setbacks of the proposed development
are designed in such 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.
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
2
,-,,,
`4..., ..✓
shading, excess traffic, availability of parking in the
neighborhood, or blocking of a designated view plane.
Response: The parcel size is 4,500 s. f. The proposed floor area
on the site will be approximately 3, 345 s.f. or .71: 1, well below
the 1: 1 maximum allowed by Special Review. The proposed extension
is at the rear and side of the existing two story structure,
covering a one story section and proceeding to the rear an
additional 20 feet. The new rear wall will extend approximately
4 ' beyond the adjacent rear wall of the building. Twenty-one feet
remain between the rear property line and the proposed rear wall
which more than adequately accommodates the required 18 ' long
parking space, including some snow storage space. The rear portion
of the lot is already a gravel parking area, so the character of
the alleyway will not be substantially changed. Additional
landscaping along the rear of the addition is not necessarily
advisable because of the parking and snow storage needs, although
a sturdy low-growing shrub type would work.
As earlier mentioned, the Zoning Board of Adjustment has already
granted a 3. 6 ' variance for the required 5 ' side setback along the
western property line. The property adjacent to the west contains
the two-story Little Red Ski House. The proposed Snow Queen
addition will block the easterly views from this property.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of GMQS Exemption and
Special Review for FAR for the Category 3 deed restricted manager's
unit to be voluntarily constructed at the Snow Queen Lodge with the
following conditions:
1. The owner shall submit appropriate deed restrictions to the
Aspen/Pitkin County Housing Authority for approval. The units
shall be deed restricted to Category 3 occupancy. Upon approval
by the Housing Authority, the Owner shall record the deed
restrictions with the Pitkin County Clerk and Recorder' s Office.
2 . Prior to issuance of any building permits for the property, a
copy of the recorded deed restrictions for the new dwelling unit
must be forwarded to the Planning Office.
3. The shed in the northwest area of the property shall be removed
and a fifth parking space shall be added off of the alley. All
parking spaces must be shown and dimensioned on the site plan
included for a building permit.
4. The site plan for building permit shall indicate the trash

SNOW QUEEN LODGE
Employee Addition
The Snow Queen Lodge is a Victorian Bed & Breakfast Built around
1886 . It has been operating as such since the early 1970 's . There
are a total of seven bedrooms; One room is used for the
Managers 'quarters year round and another short term room is
rented to two seasonal employees . This leaves 5 rooms to be
rented short term. There are six bathrooms and two kitchens; one
of the kitchens is shared communally during the Summer months for
the Music students . The approximate square footage of the lodge
is 2, 500, while the lot it sits on is 4500 sq. ft . Part of the
Snow Queen includes an addition that was built on in 1986 . The
addition consists of 2 rental rooms plus the re-building of the
office and Managers ' living quarters .
Over the past ten years, the number of pillows for short term
rent has decreased from 18 to 12; This has to do mainly with
improving the quality of the guests stay. Having such a small
number of pillows, the Snow Queen does not generate much income
and can 't afford to pay a normal Managers ' salary. We have also
had to give up one of our short term rooms to house two seasonal
employeess which has cut down further on our income . The present
Managers ' quarters consist of a bedroom and bathroom of about 180
sq. ft . which is quite a small space to live in as a permanent
residence . This means the possibilty of having the Manager live
off site which would have a negative impact on the operation of
the lodge . We feel that a separate Managers ' residence of about
800 square feet built on to the back of the lodge would enhance
the Snow Queen in several ways; Having a larger living space
would provide an extra incentive to keep the Manager working
here . It would also improve the quality of the property by
keeping the Manager living on site . By moving our employees into
the present Managers ' quarters we could once again use their room
as a short term rental . The proposed project would not affect the
visual impact of the Snow Queen from the street as it will be
built on to the back next to the alley. Our current on site
parking is 4 spaces and these will remain . We should be able to
create one additional parking space by removing an old shed on
the back of the property. During the proposed addition we also
hope to improve and upgrade the Snow Queen by adding a private
bath on to one of the existing rooms that currently shares a
bathroom. We get more and more requests for rooms with private
baths and feel this improvement will benefit both the guests and
our business .
It should be noted that we have already gone before the board of
adjustments to receive a 3 . 6 foot side yard variance for a
distance of 36 feet; We were granted the variance for 33 feet and
we are including the motion from said meeting. We are also
including a breakdown of the square footage of the Lodge .

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and City Council
THRU: Amy Margerum, City Manager
THRU: Diane Moore, City Planning Directo
FROM: Kim Johnson, Planner
DATE: January 24, 1994
RE: Snow Queen Lodge Growth Management Exemption for an
Affordable Housing Unit - First Reading of Ordinance 1,
1994
SUMMARY: The applicant seeks to construct a manager' s apartment
deed restricted to Category 3 price/income level on the Snow Queen
Lodge property. This is a GMQS Exemption by Council with review
and recommendation from the Commission.
The Planning Commission reviewed this proposal on September 21,
1993 and with a 5-0 vote recommended approval with conditions.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION: None.
BACKGROUND/ PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Norma Dolle and Larry Ledingham
(the applicants) seek GMQS Exemption in a LP (Lodge Preservation)
zone for the construction of an 800 s. f. manager's quarters on the
northwest corner of the lodge building. Part of the addition also
includes a bathroom for one of the guest rooms. Please refer to
the application text and drawings, Exhibit "A" . The existing
structure is approximately 2, 500 s. f. Proposed FAR is
approximately 3 , 300 s. f. The two level addition will contain the
kitchen, living and dining areas on the upper floor and the bedroom
on the ground level. The project is located at 124 E. Cooper Ave.
(Lot Q and east half of Lot P, Block 69, City and Townsite of
Aspen)
Referral Comments: For complete referral memos, please see Exhibit
CURRENT ISSUES: Staff discussion of the GMQS Exemption review
criteria is contained in Exhibit "C" . Specifically, the unit must
be used by lodge employees as required by the LP zone. The unit
is part of the lodge property and cannot be sold off separately.
Staff and the Commission believe that this proposal supports the
concept of owners being able to live and work at their small
lodges. The Housing Office believes that Category 3 restriction
is a reasonable deed restriction for this GMQS Exemption proposal.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: Planning processing fees for this
application have been waived because of the policy to process
r
affordable housing units at no charge. The applicant is aware that
other building permit, park, tap and utility fees will apply to
the new construction.
RECOMMENDATION: The Planning Commission recommends approval of the
Snow Queen Lodge GMQS Exemption for a Category 3 deed restricted
unit with the following conditions which are included in Ordinance
1, 1994:
1. The owner shall submit appropriate deed restrictions to the
Aspen/Pitkin County Housing Authority for approval, prior to
issuance of any building permits. The units shall be deed
restricted to Category 3 occupancy. Upon approval by the Housing
Authority, the Owner shall record the deed restrictions with the
Pitkin County Clerk and Recorder's Office.
2 . Prior to issuance of any building permits for the property, a
copy of the recorded deed restrictions for the new dwelling unit
must be forwarded to the Planning Office.
3 . The shed in the northwest area of the property shall be removed
and a fifth parking space shall be added off of the alley. All
parking spaces must be shown and dimensioned on the site plan
included for a building permit.
4 . The site plan for building permit shall indicate the trash
storage area for this project.
5. Prior to issuance of any building permit, the applicant shall
state in a letter to the Engineering Department that the applicant
recognizes the fact that their fence is located within the East
Copper right-of-way. Should the right-of-way be desired by the
City, the applicant shall remove the fence. This letter shall be
recorded with the Pitkin County Clerk and Recorder's Office.
6. All material representations made by the applicant in the
application and during public meetings with the Planning and Zoning
Commission and City Council shall be adhered to and considered
conditions of approval, unless otherwise amended by other
conditions.
ALTERNATIVES: The Council could establish a different deed
restriction category for the unit, alter the conditions as
recommended, or deny the GMQS Exemption request. If occupants
exceed the asset limits or income limits established by the Housing
Office, the occupants are eligible for a special review hearing
through the Housing Office.
PROPOSED MOTION: "I move to have first reading of Ordinance 1,
1994 for approval of the Snow Queen Lodge GMQS Exemption for
Affordable Housing for the development of a Category 3 deed
restricted unit. "

SNOW QUEEN LODGE
Employee Addition
The Snow Queen Lodge is a Victorian Bed & Breakfast Built around
1886 . It has been operating as such since the early 1970 's . There
are a total of seven bedrooms; One room is used for the
Managers 'quarters year round and another short term room is
rented to two seasonal employees . This leaves w- rooms to be
tented short term. There are six bathrooms and two kitchens; one
of the kitchens is shared communally during the Summer months for
the Music students . The approximate square footage of the lodge
is%2, 500, while the lot it sits on is 4500 sq. ft. Part of the
Snow Queen includes an addition that was built on in 1986 . The
addition consists of 2 rental rooms plus the re-building of the
office and Managers ' living quarters .
Over the past ten years, the number of pillows for short term
rent has decreased from 18 to 12; This has to do mainly with
improving the quality of the guests stay. Having such a small
number of pillows, the Snow Queen does not generate much income
and can't afford to pay a normal Managers ' salary. We have also
had to give up one of our short term rooms to house two seasonal
employeess which has cut down further on our income . The present
Managers ' quarters consist of a bedroom and bathroom of about 180
pg. ft . which is quite a small space to live in as a permanent
residence . This means the possibilty of having the Manager live
off site which would have a negative impact on the operation of
the lodge . We feel that a separate Managers ' residence of about
800 square feet built on to the back of the lodge would enhance
the Snow Queen in several ways; Having a larger living space
would provide an extra incentive to keep the Manager working
here . It would also improve the quality of the property by
keeping the Manager living on site . By moving our employees into
the present Managers ' quarters we could once again use their room
as. a short term rental . The proposed project would not affect the
visual impact of the Snow Queen from the street as it will be
built on to the back next to the alley. Our current on site
parking is 4 spaces and these will remain . We should be able to
create one additional parking space by removing an old shed on
the back of the property. During the proposed addition we also
hope to improve and upgrade the Snow Queen by adding a private
,bath on to one of the existing rooms that currently shares a
bathroom. We get more and more requests for rooms with private
baths and feel this improvement will benefit both the guests and
our business .
It should be noted that we have already gone before the board- of
adjustments to receive a 3 . 6 foot side yard variance for a
distance of 36 feet; We were granted the variance for 33 feet and
we are including the motion from said meeting. We are also
including a breakdown of the square footage of the Lodge .

Per our conversation, the Housing Office would like to see the deed
restriction state that should this be rented out to anyone other than
the resident/manager, that no higher than a Category 3 rent can be
charged. Also, this individual must be a full-time employee as to
the definition of the Housing Office's Guidelines. Rent does not
have to be charged on this unit, but if it is, a Category 3 maximum
limit should be stated in the deed restriction. Once this is
approved, I can work with the applicant to get this completed.

MEMORANDUM
To: Kim Johnson, Planning Office
From: Chuck Roth, City Engineer ec
Date: September 5, 1993
Re: Snow Queen GMQS Exemption for Affordable Housing and Special Review for
FAR in the LP Zone
Having reviewed the above referenced application, and having made a site inspection, the
Engineering Department has the following comments:
I. Parking - The building permit site plan must indicate the dimensions of the parkin_
spaces. The minimum code requirement is 8 1/2' x 18' x 7' high for head-in spaces.
2. Sidewalk - The existing sidewalk does not conform to the guidelines of the Pedestria=
Bikeway Plan, however redevelopment of the sidewalk area would not be required unless
the site were being entirely redeveloped.
Four sections of the sidewalk surface are extensively spelled, i.e. with surface finish
flaked or chipped off. These sections should be repaired or preferably replaced prior t;
issuance of a certificate of occupancy.
3. Encroachments - As shown on the improvement survey, the fence along Cooper
Avenue encroaches into the public right-of-way. (The fence along the west boundar.
encroaches into the neighbor's parcel.) The applicant must apply for an encroachmer:
license for the fence in the Cooper Avenue right-of-way prior to issuance of a buildin_
permit. Applications are available from this department. The application fee is $320.
At this time, there is no obvious reason why an encroachment license would be
denied. Alternatively, the applicant could relocate the fence onto the applicant's priva
property.
The encroachment license must be obtained or the fence relocated prior to issuance
of a certificate of occupancy.
4. Trash - Neither the site improvement survey nor the development plans indicate
trash storage area. It appears that the applicant shares a dumpster with one of the
neighbors. Both of the neighbors' dumpsters appear to be located in the alley right-of-
way. The building permit application plans must indicate a trash storage area on the
applicant's property. Providing a trash storage area may involve removing an old concre:e
slab and pouring a new one. If a dumpster pad is constructed that straddles a neighbor
property line, there will still be space to meet parking dimension requirements.
5. Site Drainage - Storm runoff does not appear to be a problem at this site. Roof
drains daylight on site, and the existing parking area is gravel surfaced and is slightly below
alley grade. The applicant is advised that development applications are typically approved
subject to maintaining storm runoff on the applicant's property and not conveying or
increasing storm runoff to city streets and alleys.
6. Development in the Public Right-of-way - Given the continuous problems of
unapproved work and development in public rights-of-way, the applicant is advised as
follows:
The applicant shall consult city engineering (920-5080) for design
considerations of development within public rights-of-way, parks department
• (920-5120) for vegetation species, and shall obtain permits for any work or
development, including landscaping, within public rights-of-way from city
streets department (920-5130).
Approval of building permit plans does not constitute approval of design or work in the
public right-of-way.
Recommended Conditions of Approval
1. The building permit plans shall indicate (a) the dimensions of the parking spaces and
(b) a trash storage location out of the alley right-of-way.
2. Four sections of sidewalk shall be repaired or replaced prior to issuance of a C.O.
3. An encroachment license must be applied for at the City Engineering Department
prior to issuance of a building permit, or the fences must be indicated on the building
permit drawings to be relocated onto private property. The encroachment license must
be obtained, or the fence relocated, prior to issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy.

STAFF COMMENTS: GMOS Exemption for Affordable Housing: Pursuant
to Section 8-104 C. 1(c) the Council shall exempt deed restricted
housing that is provided in accordance with the housing guidelines.
However the Commission shall review and make d recommendation to
Council regarding the housing package. According to the Code, 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, the 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.
RESPONSE: The Snow Queen Lodge has seven bedrooms, on(?. being used
by two employees and one used by the manager (180 s. f. ) . This
situation cuts into the available rooms for guests down to five.
The applicant is voluntarily proposing to construct the new
manager's apartment for the benefit of the manager and to replace
a room for lodge accommodation.
The deed restriction recommended by the Housing Office is Category
3, which allows monthly rent up to $910.00 and maximum household
income of $50, 000. 00. This restriction is agreeable to the
applicant.
Affordable housing for lodge employees is lists-d as a permitted use
in the LP zone. The proposed addition received a side yard setback
variance from the Zoning Board of Adjustment in May 1993, and
otherwise complies with the dimensional requirements of the LP
zone. According to the Land Use Code, parking for residential use
is N/A (not applicable) in the LP district. There are currently
4 parking spaces on-site, with the opportunity to add one more if
a small shed is removed. Since the new affordable unit is allowing
a bedroom to be re-established for guest use and the shed is
already an encroachment onto the neighboring property, staff
recommends that it be removed and an additional g1:avel parking
space be accommodated off of the alley for a total of five on-site
spaces.

It is on the inventory. It did not go to hpc because they added a
second story onto an existing portion of the building and a full two
story new addition onto that. (hpc doesn't review additions on
inventoried structures) . BUT, this was presented to me during the
summer when I still believed in the 50% demo. rule. I am sure that
they had to remove some walls or parts of walls to do these additions
and if the project were to be shown to me today, hpc would review it
as partial demolition.

Amy, is this on the inventory only or is it also landmarked? Why

RE: City Council Schedule for the Snow Queen Lodge GMQS Exemption
Dear Norma and Larry,
This note is to confirm that the first and second readings for
the new employee unit at the lodge will be held on January 24 and
February 28 . The February 28 meeting is the public hearing for
ordinance adoption. The City Clerk handles the newspaper notice,
so you will not need to deal with this aspect. Agendas for each
meeting are set by the City Clerk the week before, so contact
Kathryn Koch at 920-5064 for a better idea of the time of your item
each meeting.
As I will be out of the office on maternity leave during these
meetings, your case will be presented by Mary Lackner, another of
our city Planners. I have completed the paperwork myself already,
so everything seems to be under control. If you have any specific
questions, Mary may be reached at 920-5106 . A copy of the staff
memo and approval ordinance will be ready the Friday before each
Council meeting - you will be notified by our secretary when to
pick them up.
Good luck, I 've enjoying working with you folks. Have a safe
and happy ' 94 .
Sincerely,
Kim Johnson

MEMORANDUM
TO: Snow Queen GMQS and Building Permit File
FROM: Dave Michaelson,Planner
DATE: September 26, 1995
RE: Deck Enclosure and Compliance with GMQS Exemption
The Snow Queen Lodge was granted a GMQS Exemption for Affordable Housing for lodge employees in
January of 1994. The approval references an employee unit of approximately 800 square feet. The
applicant's currently are proposing to enclose a deck and modify a previous variance, which will increase
total square footage by approximately 140 square feet. The GMQS exemption was based on the
consistency of the use with applicable sections of the Code, and not the size. The FAR in the LP zone
district is 1:1, and the proposed FAR with the deck enclosure and the variance would result in an FAR of
approximately 1:.77. Therefore, no amendment to the GMQS exemption is necessary for the proposed
improvements.
