Regular City Planning & ZoninL Meeting — Minutes May 15, 2012
Stan Gibbs opened the public hearing for 101 Founders Place. Sara Nadolny stated
that Scott Lindenau was represented by Studio B Architects; the owners of this
property were Anthony and Deborah Clancy.
Sara said the issue at 101 Founders Place Unit 202, the Crescent Building, was a
privacy screen; these were both PUD and SPA as they deal with architectural
elements and character. The applicant wanted to enhance the residential. space; the
west. side of this space overlooks the City of Aspen impoundment lot. The privacy
screen would sit onto of the wall cap surrounding the entire patio on the second
story unit. Second is to continue an existing fence that sits along the property line
between Obermeyer Place and the City of Aspen Parking Enforcement Lot.
Sara said the privacy screen was 3 feet 4 inches on the West side and sits atop the
concrete wall cap and 12 foot 7 inches on the East side of the Unit. The screen will
be constructed of wooden slats and metal and proposed at 44 feet 9 inches in total
length.
Sara said the fence proposal was to continue the fence that already exists on
already a small portion of the northern side of the property line between
Obermeyer and Aspen and figure G gives you an idea of what the fence already
looks like. The fence proposal extension will extend 76 feet to follow the walkway
shown on figure H. Staff is recommending conditional approval of this
application.
Jasmine said the upstairs neighbor did not object to the fence but requested a gate
in the fence; is there a gate planned for this fence. Jennifer replied that walkway
was a limited common area to the Crescent Building so when the applicant submits
a building permit they will need to obtain approval from all the unit owners.
Cliff asked if this fence or screen would have any visual affect on any other unit in
Obermeyer. Sara replied they are both on the property line and unit 202 is the
only unit that would see it on the West end and the West side of Unit 202's patio
faces onto the parking lot.
Scott Lindenau distributed photos similar to the ones in the packet (Exhibit D); his
client's unit was pretty much in the parking lot and photos were all different.
Jennifer stated that Bill Murphy's letter would be (Exhibit C).
No public comments.

Public Hearing:
480 Doolittle Drive (Waterplace Affordable Housing) SPA Amendment
Stan Gibbs opened the public hearing. Sara Nadolny said representing the owner
of the property, the City of Aspen, is Jeff Pendarvis, City Assets Department. Sara
said the building was part of the essential public facility to be converted into an
affordable housing unit. Sara said to do this conversion staff is requesting the
Planning &.Zoning Commission an SPA Amendment, Growth Management
Review, Change in Use Review, 8040 Greenline Review and Residential Design
Variances.
Sara said the SPA is a site specific approval and this application would be
approved administratively due to the change in use of the originally approved site
plan; tonight staff is seeking approval of the SPA Amendment to assure
compliance with APCHA Standards. The applicant is proposing to convert the
existing emergency response facility to a deed restricted single family unit; this
building was currently vacant. The building is located on the edge of the Water
Treatment Affordable Housing with the front of the building perpendicular to the '
street and 580 square feet of net livable space. They are proposing a covered 70
square foot. covered entry and an 11 by 22 foot carport and a 44 square foot storage
closet.
Sara said the 2 Residential Design Variances were the building does not face the
street and the street orientated entrance and principal window will not face the
street. The City is proposing a Category 3 or 4 however in APCHA standards read
Category 3 or 4 would be 700 square feet. APCHA allows a 20% reductiomfor a .
studio unit at Category 4 or lower.
Cliff Weiss asked where the parking was located. Sara replied that parking is
located directly to the east of the unit on A11. Jeff Pendarvis said the whole area is
paved. Cliff said no more asphalt is going to be. laid for this. Jeff replied no.
Jeff Pendarvis introduced himself, his understanding was that it was built back in
the late 1990s with this in mind, to be converted to affordable housing. Jeff said
the conversion of the City's water process occurred in 2010 and no longer needed

the facility and has been transferred to the 505 Employee Housing Fund, owned by
the City and have first responders as owners. Jeff said they will call it a studio but
will live like a 1 bedroom.
Stan said that Section 2 of the resolution should say recorded not recoded. Debbie
Quinn'said the deed restriction for Water Place and not as a Category. Jennifer
said Section 8 got cut off and needs to say calculated by Community Development
using this calculated fee schedule in effect at the time the applicant submits a
building permit.
