The purpose of this letter is to inform you that I am hereby denying this request. There are two aspects of the proposal which cause this rejection. First, the design as shown converts the area previously used as garage into residential space. Since this area is above finished grade, even though below natural grade, it will increase the site's FAR. Further variation of the site's FAR must be granted by City Council, not by staff. Second, I find the relocation of the parking into a carport on Lot 3 of the PUD, from its approved location, under the units on Lot 2, to be a change in the use or character of the proposed development. Please do not construe this to mean that I find the change inappropriate; only that it is substantial enough to warrant notice being given to surrounding landowners and review by P&Z and Council, who initially approved the project. If you wish to proceed with these amendments, you should submit an application for PUD amendment, and it will be processed accordingly. If you need to conduct a pre-application meeting prior to submission, please contact me and I will meet with you. Sincerely, Alan Richman, AICP Planning Director summit b?737-/8d-�5 Doremus&WeLLs an association of land planners 2A 0 ❑ February 24, 1989 Mr. Alan Richman Director, Aspen/Pitkin Planning Office 130 South Galena Aspen, CO 81611 Dear Alan: My letter is to forward drawings which reflect certain insubstan- tial amendments to the Summit Place Project (Lot 2, Aspen Mountain Subdivision) which I mentioned in our phone conversation some time ago. We believe that these changes fall within the standards of Section 7-907(A) , Insubstantial Amendment of a PUD Development Order, which limits such changes to technical or engineering considerations which were not anticipated during the approval process . There are basically two changes proposed: 1 . Temporary surface parking. Temporary parking for six cars in a covered carport is pro- posed on the south side of the Summit Street easement to serve the project. These spaces would replace, on at least an interim basis, the six subsurface spaces approved for the project. As requested by Jay Hammond, the carport is set back from the Summit Street easement by 5 feet . During the City review process representatives of Hadid Aspen Holdings, Inc. (Hadid) spoke with Lee Miller, the property manager of the Aspen Inn Condominiums regarding an easement to provide vehicular access to the Summit Place Project . Mr. Miller in turn spoke with some of the owners of the condominiums in that project who generally favored the offer proposed by Hadid; at that time, we anticipated that there would be no difficulty in arriving at a resolution of the issue regarding access . Subsequent to City approval of the project, all but one of the owners approved the settlement proposed by Hadid regarding the easement . One owner presently opposes the agreement, however, and that owner appears to be unwilling to negotiate further at this time. This situation was clearly not anticipated during the approval process. ❑ ❑ 608 east hyman avenue❑aspen,colorado 81611 ❑telephone:303 925-6866 ✓ liod ❑ Mr. Alan Richman February 24, 1989 Page Two While the owners intend to continue to pursue these negotiations and expect a satisfactory resolution at some point in the future, these discussions are nonetheless presently delaying construction of the project. In the unlikely event that the easement dispute is not eventually resolved, parking for Summit Place will either remain in place as proposed here or will have to be incorporated into the off-street parking- plan under future submissions for the Top of Mill Project . 2. Addition of exit stair. In order to meet Building Code requirements, it is necessary to add an internal stair from the top floor of the building which will exit at the level of Summit Street . As illustrated on the attached drawings, this change has been accomplished without modifying the footprint of the enclosed area of the approved building. The only exterior modifications necessary to accomplish this change are a continuous balcony at the top level along the north elevation and the additional doors that are shown on the north and south elevations of the revised drawings. Compliance with the standards for an Insubstantial Amendment. The two changes proposed comply with the provisions of Section 7-907 as follows: 1 . No change in the use or character of the development is proposed. 2 . The exterior balcony on the third level increases the overall coverage of the Summit Place structure from 2, 900 square feet, as approved for Lot 2 (see page 7 of the June 3, 1988 submission for the Aspen Mountain Subdivision) to 3, 090 square feet. Total coverage for the three projects within the Aspen Mountain Subdivision which have received final approval (Lots 1, 2 and 4) is 69,100 square feet. Therefore the increase of 190 square feet represents 0.3% of the building coverage approved to date under the First Amended Plat for the Aspen Mountain PUD/ Subdivision, with the final building coverage for Lots 3 and 5 to be established by subsequent amendment . • - ❑ • ❑ • Mr. Alan Richman February 24, 1989 Page Three The building coverage of the carport to be built on Lot 3 is 1, 300 square feet . If actually constructed, the carport will be taken into account in the calculations for the lot in subsequent submissions for Top of Mill. 3 . The trip generation rate of the project will not be affected. - - - 4. Open space on-site is unaffected by the proposed elimination of the access drive, because the area generally exceeds the permitted depth below natural grade. Although not finally established, open space to be pro- vided on the Top of Mill site is potentially affected negatively by the 1, 300 square foot carport proposed on Lot 3 . Open space for the three lots which have already received final approval exceeds 236,000. The potential open space reduction is therefore 0.6% of that previously committed to within the PUD. 5 . No reduction in off-street parking and loading is proposed. 6. No reduction in pavement, easement or right-of-way widths is proposed. 7. The project includes no commercial buildings. There- fore no increase in gross leasable commercial floor area is proposed. 8. No increase in residential density is proposed. We are enclosing the required processing fee of $100.00.
