RE: Valley Hi Vested Rights Extension - Second Reading
Ordinance 13 , Series of 1995
SUMMARY: The Valley Hi apartments, 1000 East Hopkins Avenue, are
under contract. The potential purchaser, Jeffrey Yusem, has
requested a five month extension of vested rights status.
Unlike the previous vested rights extension request, staff
recommends approval of this extension request.
Council approved first reading of Ordinance 13 , Series of 1995, at
the February 27 meeting. However, for second reading, staff
recommends the elimination of condition #5 and adding a new
condition #5. That condition granted the vested rights extension
specifically to Jeffrey Yusem of Yusem Corporation. After further
consideration of the extension request, staff believes that the
extension is based upon the development schedule that has been
submitted by the applicants and their representative, Jeffrey
Yusem. Of paramount importance is the effective and timely
redevelopment of the Valley Hi. Whether Mr. Yusem or another party
undertakes that redevelopment is irrelevant as long as
redevelopment is accomplished within the time frame approved by
this Ordinance.
In the alternative, Council may wish to link the extension of
vested rights to redevelopment of the property by Jeffrey Yusem of
Yusem Corporation.
APPLICANT: Jeffrey Yusem, representing the Valley Hi Development
Trust
LOCATION: 1000 East Hopkins, Aspen
ZONING: Residential Multi-Family (R/MF)
BACKGROUND: The Valley Hi is a nineteen unit, free market,
apartment building housing approximately 60 working residents.
In June of 1991, the Valley Hi Development Trust was granted
subdivision approval for a site specific development plan. The
property was to be demolished and rebuilt as a multi-family
building containing four free-market units and four deed restricted
units, a twelve car garage and $45, 000 cash-in-lieu payment for 3
deed restricted bedrooms that were not to be built on-site. This
redevelopment plan was created and approved as part of a lawsuit
settlement between the City and the Valley Hi Trust. The site
specific development plan was adopted in June, 1991, pursuant to
Ordinance 8, Series of 1991. The Ordinance also granted vested
rights for a period of three years. Please see Ordinance 8
approving the subdivision, Exhibit A.
Vested rights status was to expire on June 15, 1994 . However, in
1992, the applicants requested an extension for an additional 2
years to June 15, 1996. Council only extended the vested rights
for one additional year to June 15, 1995.
Council recently denied a further request for a two-year extension
of vested rights, finding that within that time frame new
development should comply with changes in the Aspen Land Use Code
in order to be consistent with current land use regulations,
polices, and visions of the community.
APPLICANT'S REQUEST: Jeffrey Yusem is attempting to purchase the
Valley Hi property for redevelopment. Mr. Yusem requests a five
month extension of vested rights. Currently vested rights will
expire June 15, 1995. The extension request will preserve the
vested rights until November 15, 1995 .
STAFF COMMENTS: There have been many issues surrounding the
current apartment complex and vested rights extension requests.
Staff believes there is a significant difference between this
extension request and the prior request. The current request is
based upon a demolition/construction time schedule for
redevelopment of the property. The request does not contemplate
substantial amendments to the approved plan. Previous extension
requests were unaccompanied by redevelopment schedules. Moreover,
the property owners appeared to have poorly maintained the building
and failed to monitor its tenants.
The applicant, Jeff Yusem, has been working with architects and
staff to develop a realistic demolition/construction schedule for
redevelopment. According to the time schedule prepared by his
architects, it is not feasible to expect the issuance of any
building permits until mid-October of this year.
The original subdivision/PUD approval was based upon conceptual
drawings. In order to submit for a building permit, detailed
drawings must be developed including civil and structural drawings.
Site and soil explorations must be conducted. Please see the
proposed schedule and extension request, Exhibit B.
2
Owing to the applicant' s due diligence and desire to redevelop the
property in a timely manner, staff recommends a five month
extension of vested rights status for the Valley Hi. Staff finds
that the redevelopment of the property, based upon the approved
subdivision/PUD development plan, is in the best interest of the
immediate neighborhood and the City of Aspen.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the request to extend
the vested rights status of the Valley Hi site specific development
plan with the following conditions:
1. The extension of vested rights shall be for five months to
November 15, 1995.
2 . The applicant shall maintain the property in an orderly
fashion and all rubbish and refuse shall be removed in a
timely manner.
3 . The Valley-Hi Apartments shall be maintained in a clean and
orderly condition until such time as they are demolished prior
to redevelopment pursuant to Ordinance 8 , Series of 1991.
4 . The rights granted by the site specific development plan
approved by this Ordinance shall remain vested for a total of
four years and five months from June 15, 1991, the date of
publication of Ordinance No. 8, Series of 1991. However, any
failure to abide by the terms and conditions attendant to this
approval shall result in forfeiture of said vested property
rights.
approved by this Ordinance are spccifi ally conditioned upon
Yuscm Corporation for redevelopment.
5. Redevelopment of 1000 East Hopkins Avenue shall proceed
according to the development timeline submitted and approved
as part of the extension of vested rights application (exhibit
B) .
6. The approval granted hereby shall be subject to all rights of
referendum and judicial review.
7 . Nothing in the approvals provided in this Ordinance shall
exempt the site specific development plan from subsequent
reviews and or approvals required by this Ordinance or the
general rules, regulations or ordinances or the City provided
that such reviews or approvals are not inconsistent with the
approvals granted and vested herein.
8 . The establishment herein of a vested property right shall not
preclude the application of ordinances or regulations which
3
are general in nature and are applicable to all property
subject to land use regulation by the City of Aspen including,
but not limited to, building, fire, plumbing, electrical and
mechanical codes. In this regard, as a condition of this site
development approval, the developer shall abide by any and
all such building, fire, plumbing, electrical and mechanical
codes, unless an exemption therefrom is granted in writing.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Council may find that an extension of vested rights is not in
the best interest of the City and future development should comply
with current land use policies and code requirements.
2 . Council may find that the extension of vested rights should
only be extended specifically for Jeffrey Yusem of Yusem
Corporation.
RECOMMENDED MOTION: "I move to adopt Ordinance 13 , Series of 1995,
granting a five month extension of vested rights status for 1000
East Hopkins. "

RE: Extension of Vested Rights; Valley Hi Apartments
We are under contract with the present owner of the above
referenced property. Noting that current rights of development
expire on June 15, 1995, we request an extension of said rights to
November 15, 1995.
With the time constraint of performing due diligence, having
architectural plans drawn and applying to the Building Department
for a building permit we find we are in need of a greater time
frame than presently allowed. An additional five months will
present a proper sequencing of the above.
We took note in our pre-application conference that we would be
applying for a building permit during that departments busiest time
of the year. We have also spoken with various homeowners who
concur with our assessment of time needed.
Necessary attachments and fee are enclosed.

CITY OF ASPEN, COLORADO.
WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 24-6-207 of the Aspen Municipal
Code, City Council may grant an extension of vested rights status
for a site specific development plan; and
WHEREAS, in June of 1991, City Council adopted Ordinance 8,
Series of 1991, approving the redevelopment of the Valley-Hi
property and granting vested rights status for three years from the
approved date of said Ordinance; and
WHEREAS, in November of 1992 , City Council granted a one year
extension of the vested rights status for the Valley-Hi site
specific development plan thereby extending the vested rights to
June 15, 1995 (Ordinance No. 57, Series of 1992) ; and
WHEREAS, as a condition of granting the vested rights
extension, City Council required the applicant to make specific
repairs and upgrades of the building and implement a management and
maintenance plan for the building; and
WHEREAS, Council also recommended that the applicant seek
another extension when those upgrades are completed and the
applicant can demonstrate to Council that proper management of the
building is occurring; and
WHEREAS, the applicant requested another vested rights
extension for two additional years in October 1994 ; and
1
WHEREAS, the City Council denied the extension request finding
that new development should comply with changes in the Aspen Land
Use Code in order for new development to be consistent with new
land use regulations, polices, and visions of the community; and
WHEREAS, a potential purchaser of the property has developed
a specific redevelopment schedule and now requests to extend the
vested rights for five months in order to prepare and submit
building plans, and pull a building permit in a timely fashion; and
WHEREAS, the City Council, having considered the request for
an extension of vested rights and having found that the purchaser
has sufficiently demonstrated that building plans cannot be

RE: Extension of Vested Rights; Valley Hi Apartments
We are under contract with the present owner of the above
referenced property. Noting that current rights of development
expire on June 15, 1995, we request an extension of said rights to
November 15, 1995.
With the time constraint of performing due diligence, having
architectural plans drawn and applying to the Building Department
for a building permit we find we are in need of a greater time
frame than presently allowed. An additional five months will
present a proper sequencing of the above.
We took note in our pre-application conference that we would be
applying for a building permit during that departments busiest time
of the year. We have also spoken with various homeowners who
concur with our assessment of time needed.
Necessary attachments and fee are enclosed.

MEMORANDUM
To: Leslie Lamont, Planning Office
From: Chuck Roth, Engineering Department Cir
Date: March 16, 1995
Re: Valley Hi Insubstantial Plat Amendment
(1000 East Hopkins Avenue,; Lot S, Block 26, portion vacated Cleveland Street, and Lot K, Block
25, E.A.T.)
Having reviewed the above referenced application, and having made a site inspection, the
Engineering Department has the following comments:
1. PUD Plat - The original recorded PUD plat did not contain the proposed approved site plans.
The plat amendment should include those plans.
2. Encroachments - Existing fences and the trash area encroach into the public right-of-way. The
plat amendment must include a note that encroachments will be removed at the time of
development.
3. Storm Runoff - The original approvals did not specify compliance with Municipal Code
subdivision design standards for storm runoff. It should be a condition of approval for this
amendment that the development of the property meet storm runoff requirements of Section 24-7-
1004.C.4.f. This would provide for only historic storm runoff to be permitted to leave the site.
4. Sidewalk. Curb and Gutter - The previous approvals do not refer to sidewalk, curb and gutter
requirements although application site plans may have included the improvements. The site plan
submitted with the amendment application shows sidewalk curb and gutter. Sidewalk may be built,
and will be required to be built. However curb and gutter may not be constructed in segments by
projects because of problems arising from conveying street drainage to adjacent properties.
Constructing curb and gutter generally requires simultaneous construction of storm drains and
inlets. To meet City Code requirements (Sec. 19-98), the applicant must sign and notarize a curb
and gutter improvement agreement, and provide recording fees, prior to signing the final plat. The
agreement will require the applicant to construct curb and gutter if and when directed by the City.
5. Driveway - The proposed driveway change appears acceptable. The proposed use of the alley
public right-of-way is unusual but reasonable with the site conditions. The application refers to a
30"retaining wall. The wall should be required to have a railing on it for public safety.
6. Trail Easement - The original approvals were incorrectly mapped on the recorded plat. The
northerly boundary of the trail easement was required to be coincident with the 100-year floodplain
boundary. For this application, a condition of approval should be provided which states the
following:
The amended plat shall contain a note that the applicant grants a 20 foot construction
easement and a 15 foot trail easement, the location to be determined by mutual consent
between the applicant and the City.
The reason for the wider construction easement is to permit construction of retaining walls
and/or laid back slopes as necessary alongside the trail.
The applicant has indicated willingness to consider permitting the City to access through the
parcel for trail construction at the time the property is developed so that the trail construction can be
performed at the same time and not later. This should be included in the conditions of approval.
7. Street Light - There is an existing street light that is adjacent to the site. The light is a cobra
head style fixture on a utility pole from which overhead utilities were removed during the 1988-91
utility undergrounding project. The applicant should be required to replace the street light with a
standard City antique street light.
8. Utilities - Any new surface utility needs for pedestals or other equipment must be installed on an
easement provided by the applicant and not in the public right-of-way.
9. Previous Conditions of Approval - The approving ordinance should stipulate that the
conditions of approval of Ordinance No. 8 (Series of 1991) remain in effect.
10. Plat Amendment - The plat amendment must meet the requirements of Section 24-7-1004.D.
The recorded plat is lacking a legend, and there are unexplained symbols on the plat. There is a
fence which is not labeled. The plat should also label the top of bank.
11. Plat Title - The application has been referred under the name Valley Hi. Does the applicant
propose to change the name of the PUD? If so, a note on the plat must be provided that refers to the
original plat and that states that the name has been changed.
12. Work in the Public Right-of-way - Given the continuous problems of unapproved work and
development in public rights-of-way adjacent to private property, we advise the applicant as
follows:
The applicant shall consult city engineering (920-5088) 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).
13. Alley Right-of-way - The applicant has discovered deeds which appear to have conveyed the
alley to the property owner in the late 1800's. The Official City Map does not indicate that the
alley is vacated. The 1000 East Hopkins Avenue Townhouses plat that was approved by the city
and filed on December 6, 1991, does not indicate a vacated alley and acknowledges the alley right-
of-way. Amending the plat to reflect a vacated alley would be of major concern to the City and
would not qualify as an insubstantial PUD amendment.

ASPEN/PITKIN PLANNING OFFICE
Agreement for Payment of City of Aspen Development Application Fees
CITY OF ASPEN (hereinafter CITY) and ise� �icp
(hereinafter APPLICANT) AGREE AS FOLL WS: /
1. APPLICANT h s submitted to CITY an application for
(hereinafter, THE PROJECT).
2. APPLICANT understands and agrees that City of Aspen Ordinance
No. 77 (Series of 1992) establishes a fee structure for Planning Office applications
and the payment of all processing fees is a condition precedent to a determination
of application completeness.
3. APPLICANT and CITY agree that because of the size, nature or
scope of the proposed project, it is not possible at this time to ascertain the full
extent of the costs involved in processing the application. APPLICANT and
CITY further agree that it is in the interest of the parties to allow APPLICANT
to make payment of an initial deposit and to thereafter permit additional costs to
be billed to APPLICANT on a monthly basis. APPLICANT agrees he will be
benefited by retaining greater cash liquidity and will make additional payments
upon notification by the CITY when they are necessary as costs are incurred.
CITY agrees it will be benefited through the greater certainty of recovering its full
costs to process APPLICANT'S application.
4. CITY and APPLICANT further agree that it is impracticable for
CITY staff to complete processing or present sufficient information to the
Planning Commission and/or City Council to enable the Planning Commission
and/or City Council to make legally required findings for project approval, unless
current billings are paid in full prior to decision.
5. Therefore, APPLICANT agrees that in consideration of the CITY's
waiver of its right to collect full fees prior to a determination of application
completeness, APPLICANT shall pay an initial deposit in the amount of $
which is for hours of Planning Office time, and if actual recorded costs
exceed the initial deposit, APPLICANT shall pay additional monthly billings to
CITY to reimburse the CITY for the processing of the application mentioned
above, including post approval review. Such periodic payments shall be made
within 30 days of the billing date. APPLICANT further agrees that failure to pay
such accrued costs shall be grounds for suspension of processing.
