REVIEW PROCEDURE:
The division of land into two (2) or more lots, tracts or parcels is by definition a
subdivision. As a result, the proposed division of the co-applicants' property into two
(2) separate single-family lots is subject to the City's review and approval. Lot splits
are exempt from the full subdivision review pursuant to Section 26.480.030(A)(2) of
the Regulations (See below).
[26.480.030 Subdivision Exemption Lot Split - The split of a lot for the
purpose of the development of one detached single-family dwelling on a
lot formed by a lot split granted subsequent to November 14, 1977
pursuant to Section 26. 480. 030(A)(2). The existing original lot does not
need to be developed in order to be eligible for this exemption. Once split,
the development or redevelopment, as applicable, of the resulting lots
shall be subject to the provisions of Section 26.470.070(B). This
exemption is deducted from the respective annual development allotment
established pursuant to Section 26.470.040 or from the Aspen Metro Area
development ceilings established pursuant to Section 26.470.030. Review
is by City Counci1.j
STAFF COMMENTS:
The applicants, Jack Silverman. and the Doremus Family Limited Partnership, LLLP,
represented by Mitch Haas, request a subdivision exemption lot split for Lots P, Q, R,
and S, Block 21, City and Townsite of Aspen, Pitkin County, Colorado.
Jack Silverman, owner of Lot P (3000 sq. ft.), wishes to purchase adjacent Lot Q
(3,000 sq. ft.) from the neighboring property. The neighbor, Doremus Family Limited
Partnership, LLLP, owns adjacent Lots Q, R, and S totaling 9,000 sq. ft. In order to do
this, Staff considered several options. A Lot Line Adjustment approach was discussed
but determined to be inappropriate as this application is not 1) a "correction" to an
engineering or surveying plat, 2) an insubstantial boundary change, and 3) is not
primarily used for the conveyance of large parcels of land. The resulting and most
appropriate method to achieve this end was a subdivision lot split.
This lot split effectively eliminates the existing boundaries between Lot P and Lots Q-
S while simultaneously splitting the undivided land into two equal size parcels of
6,000 square feet each. The result will be the co-applicants each owning a 6,000
square foot lot: Lots P and Q for Mr. Silverman, and Lots R and S for the Doremus
Family Limited Partnership, LLLP.
The R-6 zone district requires a maximum of one dwelling unit or duplex per 6,000
square foot lot. Lot P contains an existing dwelling unit, as does Lot Q. Combining
these properties would result in two dwelling units on a 6,000 square foot lot. Because
the existing home on Lot Q would render the resulting Lot P and Q non-conforming
with regard to allowable density on a 6,000 square foot R-6 lot, the co-applicants have
agreed to demolish the existing house on Lot Q within 180 days of approval by City
Council. Additionally, the City of Aspen Historic Preservation Officer, Amy Guthrie,
~.
;.-..
visited the site and determined that the residence on Lot Q is of no historical
significance; she is not opposed to its demolition. (Photos of this residence are
attached in Exhibit C.)
At first reading of Ordinance #49 on October 10th, Council questioned the potential
historical value / background of the existing residence located at the rear of Lot Q.
which is proposed to be demolished. Further, Council directed Staff to further
investigate the significance, if any, of this structure. It was determined that the house
has the following history according to building files and Sandbom Maps:
~ Kenny Moore was the first owner;
~ The 1893 Sandbom Map shows this lot contains a different house on the front
of the lot and has a different footprint indicating that the house was not simply
moved to the rear of the lot. Additionally, the lot contained three little
outbuildings at the rear of the lot;
~ In 1968, the one bedroom house was remodeled;
~ In 1969, the house was repaired with maintenance consisting ofreplacing the
wood floor with a concrete slab and reinforcing walls and roof to make the
building safe;
~ In 1972, an accessory building was remodeled into a single-family dwelling;
~ On 9/17/1986, the house was not on the inventory and recently considered
again and found to be a "non-contributing" structure; and
~ In 1998, the house was re-roofed.
Staff maintains that this house, proposed for demolition as part of this application for a
subdivision exemption lot split, is a non-contributing structure as a result of its major
modifications over the years as indicated above.
Since there are currently two lots and the lot split will not result in any additional lots
there are no implications existing with regard to the Growth Management Quota
System (GMQS) provisions. Further, the applicant and owner of the existing Lots
Q-S (Doremus Family Limited Partnership, LLLP) understands that one existing
development right will be lost since the ability to construct two residences on the
.existing 9,000 square foot lot will be lost once it becomes a 6,000 square foot lot.
It should be noted, that. the co-applicants initially requested to formally apply for
vested right status in order to preserve the land use approvals. There are no specific
submission requirements, or review criteria other than a public hearing, required to
confer such status. Upon a successful land use decision, vested rights status shall be
established automatically with the issuance of a development order pursuant to Section
26.304.070 of the Aspen Land Use Code.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the Silverman / Doremus Subdivision Exemption Lot
Split with the following conditions:
~.
~.
1. That the co-applicants agree to demolish the existing house on Lot Q within 180
days of approval by City Council after recordation of the plat;
2. That the applicants remove the "No Parking" sign located on West Francis Street
side of the subject properties;
3. At present, there are parking and fencing encroachments into the public rights-of-
way on West Francis Street, 5th Street, and the Alley for Block 21. The applicant
must either 1) remove the encroachments or 2) obtain a Temporary Revocable
Encroachment License from the City Engineering Department allowing these
encroachments to exist prior to the recording of the final phit;
4. That all demolition of the existing building needs to occur from the alley side of
the lot. In addition, the applicant shall not track mud onto City streets during
demolition;
5. If, in the future, the applicants wish to remove trees located along the property
line, approval from the City Parks Department based upon the tree removal permit
process is required;
6. That the neighboring owners both must end the use of the parking area on West
Francis Street. This is to alleviate the potential damage to the existing street trees.
The applicants shall replace the gravel area with natural landscaping as required
by the Parks Department;
7. That the applicant shall submit and record a subdivision plat which meets the
terms of chapter 26.480, and conforms to the requirements of the Land Use Code,
in the office of the Pitkin County Clerk and Recorder after approval, indicating
that no further subdivision may be granted for these lots nor will additional units
be built without receipt of applicable approvals;
8. That the applicant shall record the subdivision exemption agreement in the office
of the Pitkin County Clerk and Recorder. Failure on the part of the applicant to
record the agreement within one hundred eighty (180) days following approval by
City Council shall render the plat invalid and reconsideration of the plat by the
City Council will be required for a showing of good cause; and
9. That the applicant agrees that this subdivision exemption lot split resulting in two
6,000 square foot lots contains a maximum potential build out not to exceed two
(2) principal dwelling units. This lot split effectively eliminates a development
right for Lots Q, R, and S.
10. Any future development on the newly created lots shall be required to mitigate for
their impact pursuant to Chapter 26.470 Growth Management Quota System
(GMQS) as required;

EXHIBIT A
SUBDIVISION EXEMPTION LOT SPLIT
SECTION 26.480.030(A)(2)
Under the provisions of the Municipal Code, the division of land into two (2) or more
lots, tracts or parcels is by definition a subdivision. As a result, the proposed division
of the co-applicants' property into two (2) separate single-family lots is subject to the
City's review and approval. Lot splits are exempt from the full subdivision review
pursuant to Section 26.480.030(A)(2) of the Regulations. The specific review criteria
for a "lot split" exemption and Stafr s responses with regard to the proposal's
compliance are included below.
a. The land is not located in a subdivision approved by either the Pitkin
County Board of County Commissioners or the City Council, or the land
is described as a metes and bounds parcel which has not been
subdivided after the adoption of subdivision regulations by the City of
Aspen on March 24, 1969.
Staff Finding
Staff finds that the two properties consist of Lots P, Q, R, and S of Block 21 in the
original Aspen Townsite. These properties are not located within a previously approved
subdivision, and the lots predate the City's adoption of subdivision regulations. Staff
fmds that this criterion is met.
b. No more than two (2) lots are created by the lot split, both lots conform
to the requirements of the underlying zone district. Any lot for which
development is proposed will mitigate for a./fordable housing pursuant to
Section 26.100.050(A)(2)(c) [this citation is incorrect and should
actually refer to Section 26.470.070(B)J.
Staff Finding
This proposal is intended to vacate and reestablish adjoining boundary lines between two
existing lots. The two resulting lots will contain 6,000 square feet each and conform with
the dimensional requirements of the underlying R-6 zone district. The minimum lot size
in the R-6 zone district is 6,000 square feet.
Staff finds that because the applicant will demolish the existing one-story single-family
dwelling on Lot Q, the Lot P and Q merger will not result in a non-conforming lot with
respect to allowable density on a 6,000 square foot R-6 lot. Additionally, the demolition
of the Lot Q residence will also eliminate a structure that is non-conforming regarding its
current encroachments into the side and rear setbacks, encroachment into Lot R, and
encroachment into the alley right-of-way.
Currently, there are two lots and the lot split will not result in any additional lots; as a
result, the proposal does not involve any GMQS implications. In the future, should the
house on Lots P and Q or the house on Lots R and S be demolished for replacement, the
construction of such a replacement will be subject to the terms and provisions of Section
~
~.
26.470.070(B). Said provisions require either construction of an ADU, payment of an
affordable housing impact fee, or placement of a resident occupancy deed restriction on
the replacement home. Staff finds this criterion to be met.
c. The lot under consideration, or any part thereof, was not previously the
subject of a subdivision exemption under the provisions of this chapter
or a "lot split" exemption pursuant to Section 26.470.040(C)(1)(a) [this
citation is incorrect and should actually refer to Section 26.470.070(/)J.
Staff Finding
These lots in question (Lots P, Q, R, and S of Block 21, City and Townsite of Aspen)
have not been the subject of any prior subdivision exemption applications or approvals,
and they have never received a prior "lot split" GMQS exemption. Prior to the existing
two story sin.gle-family residence on Lot P, a single-story panabode, owned by Jack
Silverman, was moved from Lot P to Eagle County in April of 1996. Prior to this, Mrs.
Eugene Wright Armstrong, then owner of Lot P, received a building permit in. 1961 to
construct the pan abode (Type V Frame) on Lot P. A further check of Stewart Title of
Aspen, Inc. records indicate that the property was in separate ownership prior to June,
1956 and vested in Mrs. Eugene Wright Armstrong. Records indicate the property and
house were then sold to John P.Stanford.
In 1984, adjacent property owners included:
Lot 0:
Bridgit Starri
624 West Francis, Aspen, Co
LotQ:
Ms. Vivian Jones
P. O. Box 317, Aspen, Co
It is Staffs understanding that Lot P (encompassing 3,000 sq. ft.) existed as one lot as far
back as 1961 when Mrs. Eugene Wright Armstrong built a pan abode on the property and
was not the subject of a subdivision exemption under the provisions of this chapter.
Staff finds this criterion to be met.
d. A subdivision plat which meets the terms of this chapter, and conforms
to the requirements of this title, is submitted and recorded in the office of
the Pitkin County Clerk and Recorder after approval, indicating that no
further subdivision may be granted for these lots nor will additional
units be built without receipt of applicable approvals pursuant to this
Chapter and growth management allocation pursuant to Chapter
26.470.
Staff Finding
The co-applicants have agreed that the resulting subdivision plat will be reviewed by the
Planning and Engineering Departments for approval and recordation within 180 days of
final land use approval. The plat will include a prohibition against further subdivision and
a requirement that additional development comply with the applicable provisions of the
Land Use Code. Staff finds this criterion to be met. .
~
1'""'\
e. The subdivision exemption agreement and plat shall be recorded in the
office of the Pitkin County Clerk and Recorder. Failure on the part of
the applicant to record the plat within one hundred eighty (180) days
following approval by City Council shall render the plat invalid and
reconsideration of the plat by the City Council will be required for a
showing of good cause.
Staff Finding
Staff finds that the co-applicants understand this requirement and shall comply with this
criterion language indicating that the subdivision exemption agreement and plat shall be
recorded in the office of the Pitkin County Clerk and Recorder and failure on the part of
the applicant to record the plat within one hundred eighty (180) days following approval
by City Council shall render the plat invalid and reconsideration of the plat by the City
Council will be required for a showing of good cause. Staff finds this criterion to be met.
j. In the case where an existing single-family dwelling occupies a site
which is eligible for a lot split, the dwelling need not be demolished prior
to application for a lot split.
Staff Finding
This application represents a case where three existing single-family dwellings occupy
the site and none of the dwellings have yet to be demolished. As indicated above, the
existing home on Lot Q would render the resulting Lots P and Q non-conforming with
regard to allowable density on a 6,000 sq. ft. R-6 lot. The co-applicants have agreed to
demolish the existing house on Lot Q within 180 days of approval by City Council. As
compared with the existing conditions, the demolition will result in less site coverage and
more open space on the properties. The existing structure on Lots R and S and the house
on Lot P will both remain in their current locations at this time. Staff finds this criterion
to be met.
g. Maximum potential buildout for the two (2) parcels created by a lot split
shall not exceed three (3) units, which may be composed of a duplex and
a single-family home.
Staff Finding
Staff finds that the maximum buildout for the proposed lot split shall be two (2) single-
family homes; neither of the resulting lot areas will be large enough to accommodate a
duplex while still meeting the minimum lot area per dwelling unit requirement in the R-6
zone district. Specifically, the two lots created will each be 6,000 square feet while the R-
6 zone district maintains a minimum lot area of 9,000 square feet for a duplex. The end
result for allowable aggregate density on Lots P~S will decrease by one dwelling unit
(from 3 units to 2 units). The co-applicants are aware that they are losing a
development right by proceeding with this lot split. Staff finds this criterion to be met.

REVIEW PROCEDURE:
The division of land into two (2) or more lots, tracts or parcels is by definition a
subdivision. As a result, the proposed division of the co-applicants' property into two
(2) separate single-family lots is subject to the City's review and approval. Lot splits
are exempt from the full subdivision review pursuant to Section 26.480.030(A)(2) of
the Regulations (See below).
[26.480.030 Subdivision Exemption Lot Split - The split of a lot for the
purpose of the development of One detached single-family dwelling on a
lot formed by a lot split granted subsequent to November 14, 1977
pursuant to Section 26.480.030(A)(2). The existing original lot does not
need to be developed in order to be eligible for this exemption. Once split,
the development or redevelopment, as applicable, of the resulting lots
shall be subject to the provisions of Section 26. 470. 070(B). This
exemption is deducted from the respective annual development allotment
established pursuant to Section 26.470.040 or from the Aspen Metro Area
development ceilings established pursuant to Section 26.470.030. Review
is by City Council.]
STAFF COMMENTS:
The applicants, Jack Silverman and the Doremus Family Limited Partnership, LLLP,
represented by Mitch Haas, request 1) a subdivision exemption lot split, and 2) vested
property rights status for Lots P, Q, R, and S, Block 21, City and Townsite of Aspen,
Pitkin County, Colorado.
Jack Silverman, owner of Lot P (3000 sq. ft.), wishes to purchase adjacent Lot Q
(3,000 sq. ft.) from the neighboring property. The neighbor, Doremus Family Limited
Partnership, LLLP, owns adjacent Lots Q, R, and S totaling 9,000 sq. ft. In order to do
this, Staff considered several options. A Lot Line Adjustment approach was discussed
but determined to be inappropriate as this application is not a "correction" to an
engineering or surveying plat, an insubstantial boundary change, and is not primarily
used for the conveyance of large parcels of land. The resulting and most appropriate
method to achieve this end was a subdivision lot split.
This lot split effectively eliminates the existing boundaries between Lot P and Lots Q-
S while simultaneously splitting the undivided land into two equal size parcels of
6,000 square feet each. The result will be the co-applicants each owning a 6,000
square foot lot: Lots P and Q for Mr. Silverman, and Lots R and S for the Doremus
Family Limited Partnership, LLLP.
The R-6 zone district requires a maximum of one dwelling unit or duplex per 6,000
square foot lot. Lot P contains an existing dwelling unit, as does Lot Q. Combining
these properties would result in two dwelling units on a 6,000 square foot lot. Because
the existing home on Lot Q would render the resulting Lot P and Q non-conforming
with regard to allowable density on a 6,000 square foot R-6 lot, the co-applicants have
agreed to demolish the existing house on Lot Q within 180 days of approval by City
~
~.
Council, or within an appropriate, specified period after recordation of the plat -__
whichever is deemed more appropriate. Additionally, the City of Aspen Historic
Preservation Officer, Amy Guthrie, visited the site and determined that the residence
on Lot Q is of no historical significance; she is not opposed to its demolition.
Since there are currently two lots and the lot split will not result in any additional lots
there are no implications existing with regard to the Growth Management Quota
System (GMQS) provisions. Further, the applicant and owner of the existing Lots
Q-S (Doremus Family Limited Partnership, LLLP) understands that one existing
development right will be lost since the ability to construct two residences on the
existing 9,000 square foot lot will be lost once it becomes a 6,000 square foot lot.
It should be noted, that the co-applicants initially requested to formally apply for
vested right status in order to preserve the land use approvals. There are no specific
submission requirements, or review criteria other than a public hearing, required to
confer such status. Upon a successful land use decision, vested rights status shall be
established automatically with the issuance of a development order pursuant to Section
26.304.070. of the Aspen Land Use Code.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the Silverman I Doremus Subdivision Exemption Lot
Split with the following conditions:
1. That the co-applicants agree to demolish the existing house on Lot Q within 180
days of approval by City Council after recordation of the plat;
2. That the applicants remove the "No Parking" sign located on West Francis Street
side of the subject properties;
3. At present, there are parking and fencing encroachments into the public rights-of-
way on West Francis Street, 5th Street, and the Alley for Block 21. A must be
obtained for these encroachments. The applicant must either 1) remove the
encroachments or 2) obtain a Temporary Revocable Encroachment License from
the City Engineering Department allowing these encroachments to exist prior to
the application of a building permit;
4. That all demolition of the existing building needs to occur from the alley side of
the lot. In addition, the applicant shall not track mud onto City streets during
demolition. A washed rock or other style mud rack must be installed during
construction;
5. If, in the future, the applicants wish to remove trees located along the property
line, approval from the City Parks Department based upon the tree removal permit
process is required;
~
~
6. That the neighboring owners both must end the use of the parking area on West
Francis Street. This is to alleviate the potential damage to the existing trees. The
applicants shall replace the gravel area with natural landscaping as required by the
Parks Department;
7. That the applicant shall submit and record a subdivision plat which meets the
terms of this chapter, and conforms to the requirements of this title, in the office
of the Pitkin County Clerk and Recorder after approval, indicating that no further
subdivision may be granted for these lots nor will additional units be built without
receipt of applicable approvals pursuant to this Chapter and growth management
allocation pursuant to Chapter 26.470;
8. That the applicant shall record the subdivision exemption agreement and plat in
the office of the Pitkin County Clerk and Recorder. Failure on the part of the
applicant to record the plat within one hundred eighty (180) days following
approval by City Council shall render the plat invalid and reconsideration of the
plat by the City Council will be required for a showing of good cause; and
9. That the applicant agrees that this subdivision exemption lot split resulting in two
6,000 square foot lots contains a maximum potential buildout not exceed three (3)
units in total, which may be composed of a duplex and a single-family home
pursuant to Section 26.480.030(A)(2)(g). This lot split effectively eliminates a
development right for Lots Q, R, and S.
RECOMMENDED MOTION:

of the co-applicants' property into two (2) separate single-family lots is subject to the
City's review and approval. Lot splits are exempt from the full subdivision review
pursuant to Section 26.480.030(A)(2) of the Regulations. The specific review criteria
for a "lot split" exemption and Staff's responses with regard to the proposal's
compliance are included below.
a. The land is not located in a subdivision approved by either the Pitkin
County Board of County Commissioners or the City Council, or the land
is described as a metes and bounds parcel which has not been
subdivided after the adoption of subdivision regulations by the City of
Aspen on March 24,1969.
Staff Finding
Staff finds that the two properties consist of Lots P, Q, R, and S of Block 21 in the
original Aspen Townsite. These properties are not located within a previously approved
subdivision, and the lots predate the City's adoption of subdivision regulations. Staff
finds that this criterion is met.
b. No more than two (2) lots are created by the lot split, both lots conform
to the requirements of the underlying zone district. Any lot for which
development is proposed will mitigate for affordable housing pursuant to
Section 26.100.050(A)(2)(c) [this citation is incorrect and should
actually refer to Section 26.470.070(B)J.
Staff Finding
This proposal is intended to vacate and relocate adjoining boundary lines between two
existing lots. The two resulting lots will contain 6,000 square feet each and conform with
the dimensional requirements of the underlying R-6 zone district. The minimum lot size
in the R-6 zone district is 6,000 square feet.
Staff finds that because the applicant will demolish the existing one-story single-family
dwelling on Lot Q, the Lot P and Q merger will not result in a non-conforming lot with
respect to allowable density on a 6,000 square foot R-6 lot. Additionally, the demolition
of the Lot Q residence will also eliminate a structure that is non-conforming regarding its
current encroachments into the side and rear setbacks, encroachment into Lot R, and
encroachment into the alley right-of-way.
Currently, there are two lots and the lot split will not result in any additional lots; as a
result, the proposal does not involve any GMQS implications. In the future, should the
house on Lots P and Q or the house on Lots R and S be demolished for replacement, the
construction of such a replacement will be subject to the terms and provisions of Section
r-.
~
26.470.070(B). Said provisions require either construction of an ADU, payment of an
affordable housing impact fee, or placement of a resident occupancy deed restriction on
the replacement home. Staff finds this criterion to be met.
c. The lot under consideration, or any part thereof, was not previously the
subject of a subdivision exemption under the provisions of this chapter
or a "lot split" exemption pursuant to Section 26.470.040(C)(1)(a) [this
citation is incorrect and should actually refer to Section 26.470.070(/)J.
Staff Finding
These lots in question (Lots P, Q, R, and S of Block 21, City and Townsite of Aspen)
have not been the subject of any prior subdivision exemption applications or approvals,
and they have never received a prior "lot split" GMQS exemption. Prior to the existing
two story single-family residence on Lot P, a single-story panabode, owned by Jack
Silverrp.an, was moved from Lot P to Eagle County in April of 1996. Prior to this, Mrs.
Eugene Wright Armstrong, then owner of Lot P, received a building permit in 1961 to
construct the pan abode (Type V Frame) on Lot P. A further check of Stewart Title of
Aspen, Inc. records indicate that the property was in separate ownership prior to June,
1956 and vested in Mrs. Eugene Wright Armstrong. Records indicate the property and
house were then sold to John P. Stanford.
In 1984, adjacent property owners included:
Lot 0:
Bridgit Starri
624 West Francis, Aspen, Co
LotQ:
Ms. Vivian Jones
P. O. Box 317, Aspen, Co
It is Staffs understanding that Lot P (encompassing 3,000 sq. ft.) existed as one lot as far
back as 1961 when Mrs. Eugene Wright Armstrong built a pan abode on the property and
was not the subject of a subdivision exemption under the provisions of this chapter.
Staff finds this criterion to be met.
d. A subdivision plat which meets the terms of this chapter, and conforms
to the requirements of this title, is submitted and recorded in the office of
the Pitkin County Clerk and Recorder after approval, indicating that no
further subdivision 1/UIy be granted for these lots nor will additional
units be built without receipt of applicable approvals pursuant to this
Chapter and growth management allocation pur$uant to Chapter
26.470.
Staff Finding
The co-applicants have agreed that the resulting subdivision plat will be reviewed by the
Planning and Engineering Departments for approval and recordation within 180 days of
final land use approval. The plat will include a prohibition against further subdivision and
a requirement that additional development comply with the applicable provisions of the
Land Use Code. Staff finds this criterion to be met.
("",
1"'"'\
e. The subdivision exemption agreement and plat shall be recorded in the
office of the Pitkin County Clerk and Recorder. Failure on the part of
the applicant to record the plat within one hundred eighty (180) days
following approval by City Council shall render the plat invalid and
reconsideration of the plat by the City Council will be required for a
showing of good cause.
Staff Finding
Staff finds that the co-applicants understand this requirement and shall comply with this
criterion language indicating that the subdivision exemption agreement and plat shall be
recorded in the office of the Pitkin County Clerk and Recorder and failure on the part of
the applicant to record the plat within one hundred eighty (180) days following approval
by City Council shall render the plat invalid and reconsideration of the plat by the City
Council will be required for a showing of good cause. Staff finds this criterion to be met.
f. In the case where an existing single-famity dwelling occupies a site
which is eligible for a lot split, the dwelling need not be demolished prior
to application for a lot split.
Staff Finding
This application represents a case where three existing single-family dwellings occupy
the site and none of the dwellings have yet to be demolished. As indicated above, the
existing home on Lot Q would render the resulting Lots P and Q non-conforming with
regard to allowable density on a 6,000 sq. ft. R-6 lot. The co-applicants have agreed to
demolish the existing house on Lot Q within 180 days of approval by City Council. As
compared with the existing conditions, the demolition will result in less site coverage and
more open space on the properties. The existing structure on Lots R and S and the house
on Lot P will both remain in their current locations at this time. Staff fillds this criterion
to be met.
g. Maximum potential buildout for the two (2) parcels created by a lot split
shall not exceed three (3) units, which may be composed of a duplex and
a single-famity home.
Staff Finding
Staff finds that the maximum buildout for the proposed lot split shall be two (2) single-
family homes; neither of the resulting lot areas will be large enough to accommodate a
duplex while still meeting the minimum lot area per dwelling unit requirement in the R-6
zone district. Specifically, the two lots created will each be 6,000 square feet while the R-
6 zone district maintains a minimum lot area of 9,000 square feet for a duplex. The end
result for allowable aggregate density on Lots P-S will decrease by one dwelling unit
(from 3 units to 2 units). The co-applicants are aware that they are losing a development
right by proceeding with this lot split. Staff finds this criterion to be met.

I. INTRODUCTION
...
...
This application requests approval of a subdivision exemption for a lot
split. The subject properties are legally described as Lots P, Q R, and S, Block
21, City and Townsite of Aspen. Mr. Jack Silverman owns Lot P and the single-
family residence located thereon. Lot P is commonly known as 612 West Francis
Street. The Doremus Family Limited Partnership, LLLP, owns Lots Q R, and S,
which include two detached single-family residences; one on Lots Rand S, and
the other on Lot Q. Lot Q is commonly known as 610 West Francis Street and
Lots Rand S, together, are addressed as 600 West Francis Street. Mr. Silverman
intends to purchase Lot Q from the Doremus Family Limited Partnership, LLLP,
and the two parties have entered into a contract to do so; however, the contract
. is contingent upon, among other things, approval of a lot split application and
recordation of a plat pursuant thereto.
,...

~

Lots P-S, Block 21, City and Townsite of Aspen are in the Medium-
Density Residential (R-6) zone district, and are located on the north side of West
Francis Street between North Fifth Street and North Sixth Street. Each townsite
parcel (Le., P, Q, R, and S) has an area of 3,000 square feet. The Doremus Family
Limited Partnership therefore owns a 9,000 square foot lot (with two homes on
it), and Mr. Silverman owns the adjacent 3,000 square foot lot. They are
applying together, as co-applicants, to dissolve the existing boundary between
their parcels and simultaneously split the undivided land into two equal size
parcels of 6,000 square feet each. The result will be the co-applicants each
owning a 6,000 square foot lot; Lots P and Q for Mr. Silverman, and Lots Rand
S for the Doremus Family Limited Partnership, LLLP.

A pre-application conference was held with Fred Jarman and Chris
Bendon of the Aspen Community Development Department on May 19, 2000
(see Pre-Application Conference Summary, Exhibit 1). In this conference, the
potential of accomplishing the co-applicants' goal through the lot line
adjustment provisions and procedures was discussed, but Mr. Bendon and Mr.
Jarman concurred in feeling that such an approach would be inappropriate.
They explained that the lot line adjustment provisions are meant to correct
engineering/surveying errors, or to complete insubstantial boundary changes,
but are not intended for facilitating the conveyance of substantial parcels of land.
It is recognized that Lot Split applications are typically used to create two lots
where only one previously existed; however, the lot split provisions represent
the most appropriate standards and procedures available to accomplish the goals
of these co-applicants.

This application is submitted by Haas Land Planning, LLC, on behalf of
the Doremus Family Limited Partnership, LLLP, and Jack Silverman (hereinafter
"co-applicants"), pursuant to Sections 26.480.030(A)(2), 26.480.040(B), 26.480.050,
26.710.040, and 26.308 of the Aspen Land Use Regulations.
,..
...
Since there are currently two lots and the lot split will not result in any
additional lots, it is believed that no GMQS implications exist and, thus, an
exemption pursuant to Section 26.470.070(1) is not necessary. Further, one
existing development right will be effectively eliminated since the ability to
. .
construct two residences on the existing 9,000 square foot lot will be lost once it
becomes a 6,000 square foot lot. It is also requested that vested property rights
status be granted along with the land use approval. Section 26.480.040(B),
Procedures for Review, explains that subdivision exemptions are a one-step
review requiring a duly noticed public hearing before the City Council.

One of the co-applicants (Mr. Silverman) currently owns Lot P and the
single-family residence located thereon. The other co-applicant (The Doremus
Family Limited Partnership, LLLP) owns Lots Q, R, and S, which include two
. detached single-family residences: one on Lots Rand S, and the other on Lot Q.
Each townsite parcel (i.e., P, Q, R, and S) has an area of 3,000 square feet. The
Doremus Family Limited Partnership therefore owns a 9,000 square foot lot, and
Mr. Silverman owns the adjacent 3,000 square foot lot. All existing conditions
and improvements are accurately depicted on the accompanying Existing
Conditions Survey, and described below.
-
-
-
-
Lot P (612 West Francis Street) is improved with a 2 to 2Y2 story, bluish-
gray, stucco house. The house is rectangular in shape (19.75' wide x 74.75' long),
has vaulted spaces, and the first floor (on the West Francis frontage) is sunken
below natural grade, at" garden leveL" Along the alley, the house is two stories
tall with a two car garage at ground level. There is also head-in parking for
approximately three vehicles on the gravel area directly in front of the house, off
West Francis Street. No actual yard areas exist on the sides or rear of the house,
but there is a garden level patio at the front. A walkway is located between the
east side of the house and the bench-height stone and masonry wall separating
Lots P and Q. A concrete patio at the northeast corner of the property
encroaches onto Lot Q.
-
,...
-
...
Lot Q (610 West Francis Street) is improved with a small, one story house
located along the alley frontage. In fact, the house encroaches 1.4 feet (2.4 feet
with the roof overhang) into the alley right-of-way and 1.6 feet (2.7 feet with the
roof overhang) into Lot R. It resides less than 2 feet from adjoining Lot P. The
house contains a nonconforming wood burning fireplace and its substructure is
infested with skunks. From the alley, it is apparent that the structure includes a
shed-roofed addition as well as two doors and a window that do not appear to
be original to the structure. There is no garage, but there is head-in parking for
two cars in the gravel area located in the West Francis Street right-of-way. The
wood deck attached to the front of the house extends approximately 2 feet into
Lot R. A bench-height stone and masonry wall straddles the property line
between Lots P and Q. A walkway which extends into the West Francis Street
right-of-way leads to the wood deck and, in turn, front door of the house.
,...
-
-
-
-
The pan abode house on Lots Rand S (600 West Francis Street) is oriented
in a northeast-southwest direction, facing the corner of West Francis and North
Fifth Streets. The house has a footprint of roughly 2,085 square feet in a
predominantly rectilinear form, plus an approximately 60 square foot shed
attached to its West Francis Street frontage. While the house does not have a
garage, an approximately 9 foot wide concrete driveway enters the property
,.,..

. diagonally from North Fifth Street, as does a similarly oriented walkway to the
front porch. What amounts to the side and rear yards of the house, based on its
orientation, are fenced in and there is a wood deck extending from the central
portion of the rear of the house. The fencing does not follow the lot lines as it
encroaches some 7 feet into the West Francis Street right-of-way, 6 feet into the
North Fifth Street right-of-way, 1 foot into the alley right-of-way, and falls 1 to 5
feet shy of the boundary between Lots Q and R.
-
-
-
The subject properties are located in the West End neighborhood, which
contains a highly eclectic mix of architectural styles, house sizes, and building
orientations. The subject block alone contains a multitude of architectural styles
ranging from pan abodes to typical 1970's suburban houses, and from mountain
chalets to modernistic designs. The block contains very new homes (some still
under construction), homes of average age, and fairly old homes. The structures
on the block range in height from 1 story to 2Yz stories. Almost all of the houses
on both sides of the block take vehic1l1ar access from West Francis Street (not the
alley), with head-in parking along the north side of the street and parallel
parking along the south side. Both sides of West Francis Street contain a mature
. mix of large coniferous and deciduous trees. The houses on the corner lots tend
to orient toward the cross streets (4th and 5th Streets).
-
-
-
-
The alley running behind the subject lots is not paved. The ultra-modern,
Peter Gluck designed house resides directly across the alley from the house on
Lot P. There is a rustic, old mining shack across the alley from the small Lot Q
house. The house located on the south side of West Francis Street, across from
and in contrast to the pan abode on Lots Rand S, is of new construction with
two stories and highly manicured landscaping. The house across the street from
Lot Q is of fairly modern design, and is 2Yz stories tall with vaulted ceilings and
a main entrance located upstairs from the garden level (above street level); its
front yard is dominated by a semi-circular driveway. The brick house across the
street from Lot P has, for lack of a better description, a typical one-story, 1970's
suburban design. Next door, to the west of Lot P, there are two semi-attached
(via carport) twin chalet houses of two stories each.

III. THE PROPOSAL:
-
The proposal involves a subdivision exemption for a lot split. It is also
requested that vested property rights status be granted along with the lot split
approval. The purpose of the lot split is to eliminate the existing boundary
between Lot P and Lots Q-S while simultaneously splitting the undivided land
into two equal size parcels of 6,000 square feet each. The result will be the co-
-
-
Doremus/Silverman Lot Split Application

-
-
-
applicants each owning a 6,000 square foot lot: Lots P and Q for Mr. Silverman,
and Lots Rand S for the Doremus Family Limited Partnership, LLLP.
-
Mr. Silverman intends to purchase Lot Q from the Doremus Family
Limited Partnership, LLLP, and the two parties have entered into a contract to
do so; however, the contract is contingent upon, among other things, approval
of a lot split application and recordation of a plat pursuant thereto. It is Mr.
Silverman's goal to increase the size of his yard/garden area while gaining a
modest amount of additional floor area for flexibility with regard to potential
future use. For instance, Mr. Silverman is seriously considering the
development of an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) but has neither the lot area or
floor area to do so on his existing Lot P; with the addition of Lot Q, he will be
able to build a detached ADU along the alley. His increased floor area potential
will be counterbalanced by an equal amount of lost FAR (840 square feet) from
existing Lots Q-S.
,...
,..
-
-
....
The R-6 zone district allows a maximum of one dwelling unit on a 6,000
square foot lot. Lot P has a dwelling unit, as does Lot Q. Combining these
properties would result in two dwelling units on a 6,000 square foot lot. Because
the existing home on Lot Q would render the resulting Lot P and Q non-
conforming with regard to allowable density on a 6,000 square foot R-6 lot, the
co-applicants herein agree to demolish the existing house on Lot Q within 180
days of approval by City Council, or within an appropriate, specified period
after recordation of the plat --- whichever is deemed more appropriate. This
way the resulting 6,000 square foot lot (P and Q) would have just one dwelling
unit as opposed to two and would, therefore, comply with the zoning
regulations.
...
-
...
-
Demolition of the Lot Q residence will also eliminate the many ways in
which that structure is and/ or would be non-conforming ~i.e., side and rear yard
setbacks, encroachment into Lot R, and encroachment into the alley right-of-
way). The demolition is further desirable as it will eliminate a nonconforming
wood-burning fireplace and address a persistent skunk infestation problem.
Aspen Historic Preservation Planner, Amy Guthrie, has visited the site and
determined that the residence on Lot Q is of no historical significance; she is not
opposed to its demolition. As compared with the existing conditions, the
demolition will result in less site coverage and more open space on the
properties.
-
-
I'""
-
Since there are currently two lots and the lot split will not result in any
additional lots, it is believed that no implications exist with regard to the GMQS
provisions. In fact, one existing development right will be effectively eliminated
since the ability to construct two residences on the existing 9,000 square foot lot
-
Doremus/Silverman Lot Split Application

...
-
-
will be lost once it becomes a 6,000 square foot lot. That is, even though existing
Lot Q-S allows for the development of a duplex or two detached residences,
neither resulting lot will be large enough to support a duplex or two detached
homes while meeting the R-6 dimensional requirements (i.e., minimum lot size
per dwelling unit). Notwithstanding the current lack of GMQS implications,
should the house on Lots P and Q or on Lots Rand S ever be demolished for
replacement, they will be subject to the terms and provisions of Section
26.470.070(B). Said provisions require either construction of an ADU, payment
of an affordable housing impact fee, or placement of a resident occupancy deed
. restriction on the replacement home.

IV.
REVIEW REQUIREMENTS:
...
Section 26.480.030(A)(2), Subdivision Exemption for a Lot Split
...
Under the provisions of the Municipal Code, the division of land into two
(2) or more lots, tracts or parcels is by definition a subdivision. As a result, the
proposed division of the co-applicants' property into two (2) separate single-
family lots is subject to the City's review and approval. Lot splits are exempt
from the full subdivision review pursuant to Section 26.480.030(A)(2) of the
Regulations. The specific review criteria for a "lot split" exemption and the co-
applicants' responses with regard to the proposal's compliance therewith are
summarized below. Each criterion is provided in indented and italicized text
with a response immediately following.
-
...
-
...
a. The land is not located in a subdivision approved by either the Pitkin County
Board of County Commissioners or the City Council, or the land is described as
a metes and bounds parcel which has not been subdivided after the adoption of
subdivision regulations by the City of Aspen on March 24, 1969.
...
As the legal description indicates, the property consists of Lots P, Q, R,
and S of Block 21 in the original Aspen Townsite. The property is not located
within a previously approved subdivision, and the lots predate the City's
adoption of subdivision regulations.
...
...
b. No more than two (2) lots are created by the lot split, both lots conform to the
requirements of the underlying zone district. Any lot for which development is
proposed will mitigate for affordable housing pursuant to Section
26.100.050(A)(2)(c) [this citation is incorrect and should actuaJly refer to Section
26.470.070(B)].
-
...
As explained in the Section III of this application, the proposal calls for
relocating the adjoining boundary between two existing lots. The two resulting
lots will contain 6,000 square feet each and conform with the dimensional
-
Doremus/Silverman Lot Split Application
Page 6
...
....
....
....
requirements of the underlying R-6 zone district. The minimum lot size in the R-
6 zone district is 6,000 square feet.
....
Because the existing home on Lot Q would render the resulting Lot P and
Q non-conforming with regard to allowable density on a 6,000 square foot R-6
'lot, the co-applicants hereby agree to demolish the existing house on Lot Q
within 180 days of approval by City Council, or within an appropriate, specified
period after recordation of the plat -- whichever is deemed more appropriate.
Demolition of the Lot Q residence will also eliminate the many ways in which
that structure is and/or would be non-conforming (i.e" encroachments into the
side and rear setbacks, encroachment into Lot R, and encroachment into the alley
right-of-way). In addition, the demolition will eliminate a nonconforming
wood-burning fireplace and address a persistent skunk infestation problem.
Aspen Historic Preservation Plarmer, Amy Guthrie, has visited the site and
determined that the residence on Lot Q is of no historical significance; she is not
opposed to its demolition. All future use of the subject properties will conform
to the dimensional requirements of the R-6 zone district.
....
....
....
....
....
Again, as mentioned in Section III of this application, since there are
currently two lots and the lot split will not result in any additional lots, it is
believed that the proposal does not involve any GMQS implications. Should the
house on Lots P and Q or the house on Lots Rand S ever be demolished for
replacement, the construction of such a replacement will be subject to the terms
. and provisions of Section 26.470.070(B). Said provisions require either
construction of an ADU, payment of an affordable housing impact fee, or
placement of a resident occupancy deed restriction on the replacement home.
....
....
....
c. The lot under consideration, or any part thereof, was not previously the subject
of a subdivision exemption under the provisions of this chapter or a "lot split"
exemption pursuant to Section 26.470.040(C)(1)(a) [this citation is incorrect and
should actually refer to Section 26.470.070(1)]. -
....
....
Lots P, Q R, and S of Block 21, City and Townsite of Aspen have not been
the subject of any prior subdivision exemption applications or approvals, nor
have they ever received a "lot splif' GMQS exemption.
....
d. A subdivision plat which meets the terms of this chapter, and conforms to the
requirements of this title, is submitted and recorded in the office of the Pitkin
County Clerk and Recorder after approval, indicating that no further
subdivision may be granted for these lots nor will additional units be built
without receipt of applicable approvals pursuant to this Chapter and growth
management allocation pursuant to Chapter 26. 470.
....
....
A subdivision plat will be reviewed by the Planning and Engineering
Departments for approval and recordation within 180 days of final land use
....
Doremus/Silverman Lot Split Application
Page 7
....
-
-
-
approval. The plat will include a prohibition against further subdivision and a
requirement that additional development comply with the applicable provisions
of the Land Use Code.
...
e. The subdivision exemption agreement and plat shall be recorded in the office of
the Pitkin County Clerk and Recorder. Failure on the part of the applicant to
record the plat within one hundred eighty (180) days following approval by City
Council shall render the plat invalid and reconsideration of the plat by the City
Council will be required for a showing of good cause.
...
...
The language of this criterion is understood and the co-applicants will
comply. It is the understanding of the co-applicants that the plat and the notes
contained thereon will serve as the "subdivision exemption agreement," with no
need for a separate document.
-
-
f In the case where an existing single-family dwelling occupies a site which is
eligible for a lot split, the dwelling need not be demolished prior to application
for a lot split.
...
This application represents a case where three existing single-family
dwellings occupy the site and none of the dwellings have yet to be demolished.
As explained above in response to criterion "b.", because the existing home on
Lot Q would render the resulting Lot P and Q non-conforming with regard to
allowable density on a 6,000 square foot R-6 lot, the co-applicants hereby agree
to demolish the existing house on Lot Q within 180 days of approval by City
Council, or within an appropriate, specified period after recordation of the plat -
-- whichever is deemed more appropriate.
...
-
...
Demolition of the Lot Q residence will also eliminate the many ways in
which that structure is and! or would be non-conforming (i.e., encroachments
into the side and rear setbacks, encroachment into Lot R, and encroachment into
the alley right-of-way). In addition, the demolitfon will eliminate a
nonconforming wood-burning fireplace and address a persistent skunk
infestation problem. Aspen Historic Preservation Planner, Amy Guthrie, has
visited the site and determined that the residence on Lot Q is of no historical
significance; she is not opposed to its demolition. As compared with the
existing conditions, the demolition will result in less site coverage and more
open space on the properties. The existing structure on Lots Rand S and the
house on Lot P will both remain in their current locations.
-
...
-
...
g. Maximum potential buildout for the two (2) parcels created by a lot split shall
not exceed three (3) units, which may be composed of a duplex and a single-
family home.
-
II"-!I
Doremus/Silverman Lot Split Application
Page 8
-
....
....
....
The maximum potential build out for the proposed lot split will be two (2)
single-family homes as neither of the resulting lot areas will be large enough to
accommodate a duplex while still meeting the minimum lot area per dwelling
unit requirement in the R-6 zone district. That is, the two lots created will each
be 6,000 square feet while theR-6 zone district m.aintains a minimum lot area of
9,000 square feet for a duplex. The allowable aggregate density on Lots P-S will
be decreased by one dwelling unit (from 3 units to 2 units).
....
....
Section 26.480.05~ Subdivision Review Standards
....
Section 26.480.040, Procedures for Review, states in sub-section B. that lot
split subdivision exemptions must be reviewed against the standards of Section
26.480.050. Section 26.480.050 provides that a development application for
subdivision review shall comply with the following standards and requirements:
....
~
A. General Requirements.
a. The proposed subdivision shall be consistent with the Aspen Area
Comprehensive Plan.
....
The Aspen Area Community Plan does not contain any policies, goals, or
recommendations with regard to the subject site. Further, the proposal made
herein is of such minor consequence that there is certainly nothing in the AACP
that would frame the proposal in a negative light. Thus, the proposed lot split is
not at all inconsistent with the AACP.
....
....
b. The proposed subdivision shall be consistent with the character of existing
land uses in the area.
.....
.....
The proposed lot split will result in two 6,000 square foot lots in the R-6
zone district. The minimum lot area in the R-6 zone is_ 6,000 square feet and,
indeed, the majority of lots in the West End neighborhood have exactly the same
dimensions as would the lots resulting from the proposed lot split (60' X 100').
....
As the properties currently exist, there is potential for one duplex
structure with 4,080 square feet of FAR floor area on the 9,000 square foot lot
(Lots Q-S), and one detached single family residence with 2,400 square feet of
FAR floor area on the 3,000 square foot lot. This represents an aggregate
allowable FAR of 6,480 square feet. After the proposed lots split, only two
homes of 3,240 square feet each will be possible. . In total, the aggregate
allowable FAR will not change, but since a 4,080 square foot structure will no
longer be possible, the potential mass of both structures will be more compatible
with that typically found throughout the neighborhood.
....
.....
....
....
Doremus/Silverman Lot Split Application
Page 9
.....
....
....
...
In effect, the potential for one average size structure and one large
structure will be changed to result in the potential for two standard size homes
relative to the surrounding neighborhood. 840 square feet of FAR will shift from
one parcel to the other, resulting in two equal home size potentials on adjacent,
equal size lots. The other result will be less site coverage and more open space
than currently exists.
..
,...
c. The proposed subdivision shall not adversely affect the fUture development of
surrounding areas.
"'"
The surrounding areas will not be adversely affeci:ed in any way by the
proposed lot split. Traffic generation will be decreased with the removal of the
existing dwelling unit from Lot Q.
...
d The proposed subdivision shall be in compliance with all applicable
requirements of this Title.
~
....
The lot split will be in compliance with all applicable standards imposed
by the Land Use Code. Existing Lot Q nonconformities and encroachments will
be eliminai:ed. Any other nonconformities or encroachments will be eliminated
if or when redevelopment occurs.
...
...
B. Suitability of Land for Subdivision.
a. Land Suitability. The proposed subdivision shall not be located on land
unsuitable for development because of flooding, drainage, rock or soil creep,
mudflow, rockslide, avalanche or snowslide, steep topography or any other
natural hazard or other condition that will be harmfUl to the health, safety, or
welfare of the residents in the proposed subdivision.
!""I
...
The proposed lot split involves already developed single-family parcels in
the West End neighborhood. The neighborhood is one of Aspens oldest, most
well established areas. There are no natural hazards affecting the properties.
,...
b. Spatial Pattern Efficient. The proposed subdivision shall not be designed to
create spatial patterns that cause inefficiencies, duplication or premature
extension of public facilities and unnecessary public costs.
,...
-
The proposed lot split will not create any inefficiencies, duplications, or
premature extensions of public facilities. There will be no resulting costs to the
public whatsoever.
....
C. Improvements. The improvements set forth at Chapter 26.580 shall be provided
for the proposed subdivision. These standards may be varied by special review
(See, Chapter 26.430) if the following conditions have been met:
I'-
Doremus/Silverman Lot Split Application
Page 10
,...
.!-
!'"
1.
:*f.
2.
-
A unique situation exists for the development where strict adherence to the
subdivision design standards would result in incompatibility with the Aspen
Area Comprehensive Plan, the existing, neighboring development areas,
and/or the goals of the community.
The applicant shall specify each design standard variation requested and
provide justification for each variation request, providing design
recommendations by professional engineers as necessary.
!'"
All required improvements already exist on the subject sites, and no
changes will be necessitated by the proposed lot split.
-
-
D. Affordable Housing. A subdivision which is comprised of replacement dwelling
units shall be required to provide affordable housing in compliance with the
requirements of Chapter 26.520, Replacement Housing Program. A subdivision
which is comprised of new dwelling units shall be required to provide qffordable
housing in compliance with the requirements of Chapter 26.470, Growth
Management Quota System.
JII""
-
Chapter 26.520, Replacement Housing Program, is not applicable as no
resident or other multi-family housing is being demolished. With regard to
Chapter 26.470, Growth Management Quota System, the proposed lot split
effectively removes one development right. No additional density over that
which already exists will be possible. The existing potential build out on Lots P-
S of three (3) units of density will be reduced to a total potential build out of just
two units. As such, there are no GMQS implications, and no allotments or
exemptions are necessary.
.~
.
-
-
As is the case with all existing residential properties, should either the
house on Lots P and Q or the house on Lots Rand S ever be demolished for
replacement, they will be subject to the terms and provisions of Section
26.470.070(B). Said provisions require either construction of an ADU, payment
of an affordable housing impact fee, or placement of a resident occupancy deed
restriction on the replacement hom.e. Mr. Silverman is seriously considering the
development of an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) but has neither the lot area or
floor area to do so on his existing Lot P; with the addition of Lot Q he will be
able to build a detached ADU along the alley.
,....
,..
~
E. School Land Dedication. Compliance with the School Land Dedication
Standards set forth at Chapter 26. 630.
....
....
This section of the subdivision regulations requires the dedication of land
or the payment of an in-lieu fee for each new residential unit in a subdivision.
There will be no new residential units in this lot split. Each of the two resulting
"'"
Doremus/Silverman Lot Split Application
Page 11
!'"
-
-
..."
lots already contains a detached single-family residence. As such, no school
. land dedication or cash-in-lieu will be required.
Section 26.308" Vested Property Rights
/1*;
...
In order to preserve the land use approvals which may be obtained as a
result of this application, the co-applicants hereby request vested property rights
status pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 26.308 of the Aspen Land Use Code.
It is our understanding that final approval of the proposed development must be
granted by ordinance of the City Council to establish such status. It is also our
understanding that no specific submission requirements, or review criteria other
than a public hearing, are required to confer such status.

1 Step - Exempt Subdivision ("Lot Split") approval by City Council
The applicant and property owner oflots Q, R, and S (totaling 9,000 sq. ft. in area)
wishes to sell lot Q to an adjacent property owner of Lot P (totaling in 3,000 sq. ft.
in area) in order to create two parcels of 6,000 sq. ft. each in total area. In doing
this they wish to dissolve the current parcel boundary line creating one whole
parcel to include Lots P, Q, R, and S then split the parcel into two equal parcels of
6,000 sq. ft. each. A Lot Line Adjustment approach was discussed but determined
to be inappropriate as this application is not a "correction" to an engineering or
surveying plat, an insubstantial boundary change, and is not primarily used for the
conveyance oflarge parcels ofland.

A!!reement for Pavment of Citv of Aspen Development Application Fees
...
CITY OF ASPEN (hereinafter CITY) and .ro2.1w-iS~ + ill6 ~~II.Y lllill11lD r*"\6tsltl~ 1l.U>
(hereinafter APPLICANT) AGREE AS FOLLOWS:
...
(hereinafter, THE PROJEC1).
...
2. APPLICANT understands and agrees that City of Aspen Ordinance No. 45 (Series of 1999)
establishes a fee structnre for Land Use 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 that APPLICANT make payment of an
initial deposit and to thereafter permit additional costs to be billed to APPLICANT on a monthly basis.
APPLICANT agrees additional costs may accrue following their hearings and/or approvals. 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 consideration, 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 $IY (b) hours of Community Development staff 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, and in no case will building permits be issued until all
costs associated with case processing have been paid.

WHEREAS, on October 23,2000, the City Council of the City of Aspen granted
approval for subdivision exemption for a lot split on the Property pursuant to the
procedures and standards set forth in Title 26 of the Aspen Municipal Code to dissolve
the lot line between Lot P and Lots Q-S, and simultaneously replace it with a lot line
between Lots P and Q and Lots R and S, resulting in two (2) 6,000 square foot residential
lots; and
WHEREAS, the approval of the lot split was conditioned upon Owners
complying with certain requirements outlined in Ordinance No. 49, Series of2000,
including entering into a Subdivision Exemption Agreement for the Property; and
WHEREAS, Owners have submitted to the City for approval, execution and
recordation a plat for the Property (the "Plat") and the City agrees to approve, execute
and record the Plat (Owners pay all applicable recordation fees) on the agreement of the
Owners to the matters described herein; and

requirements of Chapter 26.480 of the Code.
2. Lot 0 Demolition. Owners agree to demolish the existing house on Lot
Q within 180 days of recordation of the Plat. All demolition of the existing structure will
occur from the alley side of the lot. Mud will not be tracked onto City streets during
demolition.
3. Encroachments Into Public Ri2hts-Of-Wav. Since there are, at present,
parking and fencing encroachments into the public rights-of-way on West Francis Street,
Fifth Street, and the alley for Block 21, prior to the recording of the final plat, the Owners
agree to either 1) remove the encroachments, or 2) obtain one or more Temporary
Revocable Encroachment Licenses from the City Engineering Department to allow the
encroachments to continue to exist.
4. Parkin2 in the West Francis Street Ri2ht-Of-Wav. Owners will
remove the "No Parking" sign presently located on the West Francis Street side of the
Property. Further, all use of the head-in parking area in the West Francis Street right-of-
way shall cease in order to alleviate potential damage to the existing trees. Owners will
replace the gravel parking area with natural landscaping, as required by the City of Aspen
Parks Department.
5. Tree Removal. To the extent required and in accordance with the tree
removal permit process, the Owners shall obtain approval from the City of Aspen Parks
Department for the removal of any tree(s).
6. Subdivision. No further subdivision of the Property may occur without
receipt of applicable and required approvals. Similarly, no additional dwelling units may
be constructed on the Property without receipt of applicable and required approvals.
7. Develooment Potential. The subdivision exemption lot split results in
two (2) lots of 6,000 square feet each. The maximum combined development potential

specifically.

. the lots created through the subdivision exemption lot split as shown on the Plat, shall be
