ACTION For Your Review and Comment CC Michael Leiner BY HAND T A CITY OF ASPEN PRE-APPLICATION CONFERENCE SUMMARY PLANNER: Sara Nadolny, 970.429.2739 REfE: 9/13/2012 PROJECT: 720 E. Durant REPRESENTATIVE: Norm Tai, Tai Design Consultants TYPE OF APPLICATION: Dimensional Variance CITY Uk' i-ASPEN DESCRIPTION: COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT The applicant requests a setback variance to allow a deck to be constructed on the south side of the building. The proposed deck will essentially fill in a piece between two existing third story decks on the south side of the property. The total development is over its allowable FAR; however, no increase in net leasable is being proposed for the project. Rather, existing FAR will be removed on the site from the west side of the development and transferred to the desired area. This property is located in the Neighborhood Commercial (NC) zone district. This district requires a five foot setback for the front, side, and rear yards of the property. The proposed deck will be within the five foot setback. As previously mentioned, there are two legally established, non-conforming decks already in existence within this area. However this non-conformity may only be increased with the granting of a setback variance. This variance requires an approval from the Planning and Zoning Commission. The proposal will also undergo Commercial Design Review. As a minor improvement to the site, the Applicant may request an exemption from Commercial Design Review, provided that the criteria are met for this condition.
