,
4. The grant of variance is the minimum variance that
will make possible the reasonable use of the parcel,
building or structure.
-
5. The literal interpretation and enforcement of the
terms of Chapter 26 of the Aspen Municipal Code
would deprive the applicant of rights commonly enjoyed
by other parcels in the same zone district, and would
cause the applicant unnecessary hardship or practical
difficulty. In determining that the applicant's rights
would be deprived absent a variance, the Board
considered certain special conditions and circum-
stances which are unique to the parcel, building or
structure, which are not applicable to other parcels,
structures or buildings in the same zone district and
which do not result from the actions of the applicant.
The Board determined that findings above were satisfied and
the variance request was therefore approved by a vote of 4-1.
Section 2. Request for Variances Approved.

MEMORANDUM
FROM:
Board of Adjustment
Joyce Ohlson, Deputy Director ~

Sarah Oates, Zoning Officer ~ c.J
TO:
THRU:
RE:
701 West Francis
DATE:
October 5, 2000
SUMMARY: The applicant requests variances for the side yard setback on the east side,
the combined side yard setback and the front yard setback to modify the existing roof.
The variances requested are: a four (4) foot side yard setback variance for east side yard,
a combined side yard setback variance of nine (9) feet and front yard setback variance of
five (5) feet. The property is located in the R-6 zone district, which has the following
setback requirements for a 6,000 square foot lot:
Side Yard-
Combined Side Yard-
Front Yard-
5 feet
15 feet
10 feet
The applicants are proposing the following:
Side Yard-
Combined Side Yard-
Front Yard-
1 foot (east side)/5 feet (west side)
6 feet
5 feet
A single-family residence is located on the lot. The residence currently encroaches into
the east side yard setback and the front yard setback, and does not meet the requirement
for the combined side yard setback. The applicant is proposing to modify the roof and is
required to get a variance because the City Land Use Code does not allow for the
expansion or enlargement of any non-conformity. The applicant is not proposing to add
any floor area or expand the footprint.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends denial of the variance request
finding that Review Standards #2 and #3 has not been satisfied.
APPLICANT:
Ted Guy Associates, representing Robert Richie
LOCATION:
701 West Francis, Block 16, Lots H and I

REVIEW STANDARDS AND STAFF EVALUATION: Pursuant to Section
26.314.040 of the Municipal Code, in order to authorize a variance from the dimensional
requirements of Title 26, the Board of Adjustment shall make a finding that the following
three (3) circumstances exist:
1. Standard: The grant of the variance will be generally consistent with the
purposes, goals, objectives, and policies of the Aspen Area Comprehensive Plan
and this title.
Response: The proposal is consistent with this standard.
2. Standard: The granting of the variance is the minimum variance that will make
possible the reasonable use of the parcel, building, or structure.
Response: The applicant is asking for the minimum variance in that no
change in the footprint is being proposed for this nonconforming building.
But, there is already reasonable use of the parcel without a modification to
the roof.
3. Standard: Literal interpretation and enforcement of the terms and provisions of
this title would deprive the applicant of rights commonly enjoyed by other parcels
in the same zone district, and would cause the applicant unnecessary hardship or
practical difficulty. In determining whether an applicant's right would be
deprived, the board shall consider whether either of the following conditions
apply:
a. There are special conditions and circumstances which are unique to the parcel,
building or structure, which are not applicable to other parcels, structures or
buildings in the same zone district and which do not result from the actions of the
applicant; or
b. Granting the variance will not confer upon the applicant any special privilege
denied by the Aspen Area Comprehensive Plan the terms of this title to other
parcels, buildings or structures, in the same zone district.
Response: Staff is unable to fmd a hardship that would justify granting
this variance. The existing roof is functional and aesthetic reasons do not
constitute a hardship.
ALTERNATIVES: The Board of Adjustment may consider any of the following
alternatives:
. Approve the variance as requested.
<-
".,.......
',~....
"~,,
. Approve the variance with conditions.
. Table action to request further information be provided by the applicant or interested
parties.
. Deny the variance finding that the review standards are not met.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends denial for the side yard, combined side
yard and rear yard variance requests, finding that Review Standards #2 and #3
have not been satisfied.
RECOMMENDED MOTION: "1 move to deny the request for a four (4) foot side yard
setback variance for the east side yard, a nine (9) foot combined side yard setback
variance, and a five (5) foot front yard setback variance to modify the roof at 701 West
Francis, fmding that Review Standards #2 and #3 have not been met."
ALTERNATIVE MOTION: "1 move to approve the request for a four (4) foot side
yard setback variance for the east side yard, a nine (9) foot combined side yard setback
variance, and a five (5) foot front yard setback variance to modify the roof at 701 West
Francis, finding that the review standards have been met."

Re: R-6 Setbacks and New Notice CC:

. Comments: Julie-following is a new notice you will need to send out AGAIN. Setbacks on comers
lots are more restrictive than other lots, which I overlooked in the first notice and the hearing. Basically,
the street facing side yard setback is 1/3 of the front yard setback. That means the east side yard is
required to be 7' and Bob is asking for a 6' variance. Here is what I have found out:
The required side yard setback of 5' and the front yard of 10' has existed since at least since 1967 (the
first code I have on record). The same holds true for the corner lot provision (see Section 26.575.040 in
today's code).
Ord. 54 of 1987 adopted the combined side yard setback requirements. Prior to that date the house
would have been required to be 5' on the west side and 7' on the east side, and meeting a combined
setback was not an issue.
I don't know if this information will help your case but there were some setback changes after Bob
bought the property. Call me with any questions.

MEMORANDUM
THRU:
Board of Adjustment
Joyce Ohlson, Deputy Director.J4c:>
~C/
Sarah Oates, Zoning Officer"
TO:
FROM:
RE:
701 West Francis
DATE:
October 5, 2000
SUMMARY: The applicant requests variances for the side yard setback on the east side,
the combined side yard setback and the front yard setback to modify the existing roof.
The variances requested are: a four (4) foot side yard setback variance for east side yard,
a combined side yard setback variance of nine (9) feet and front yard setback variance of
five (5) feet. The property is located in the R -6 zone district, which has the following
setback requirements for a 6,000 square foot lot:
Side Yard-
Combined Side Yard-
Front Yard-
5 feet
15 feet
I 0 feet
The applicants are proposing the following:
Side Yard-
Combined Side Yard-
Front Yard-
1 foot (east side)/5 feet (west side)
6 feet
5 feet
A single-family residence is located on the lot. The residence currently encroaches into
the east side yard setback and the front yard setback, and does not meet the requirement
for the combined side yard setback. The applicant is proposing to modify the roof and is
required to get a variance because the City Land Use Code does not allow for the
expansion or enlargement of any non-conformity. The applicant is not proposing to add
any floor area or expand the footprint.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends denial of the variance request
finding that Review Standards #2 and #3 has not been satisfied.
APPLICANT:
Ted Guy Associates, representing Robert Richie
LOCATION:
701 West Francis, Block 16, Lots H and I
,..
.....
r
REVIEW STANDARDS AND STAFF EVALUATION: Pursuant to Section
26.314.040 of the Municipal Code, in order to authorize a variance from the dimensional
requirements of Title 26, the Board of Adjustment shall make a fInding that the following
three (3) circumstances exist:
1. Standard: The grant of the variance will be generally consistent with the
purposes, goals, objectives, and policies of the Aspen Area Comprehensive Plan
and this title.
Response: The proposal is consistent with this standard.
2. Standard: The granting of the variance is the minimum variance that will make
possible the reasonable use of the parcel, building, or structure.
Response: The applicant is asking for the minimum variance in that no
change in the footprint is being proposed for this nonconforming building.
But, there is already reasonable use of the parcel without a modification to
the roof.
3. Standard: Literal interpretation and enforcement of the terms and provisions of
this title would deprive the applicant of rights commonly enjoyed by other parcels
in the same zone district, and would cause the applicant unnecessary hardship or
practical difficulty. In determining whether an applicant's right would be
deprived, the board shall consider whether either of the following conditions
apply:
a. There are special conditions and circumstances which are unique to the parcel,
building or structure, which are not applicable to other parcels, structures or
buildings in the same zone district and which do not result from the actions of the
applicant; or
b. Granting the variance will not confer upon the applicant any special privilege
denied by the Aspen Area Comprehensive Plan the terms of this title to other
parcels, buildings or structures, in the same zone district.
Response: Staff is unable to find a hardship that would justify granting
this variance. The existing roof is functional and aesthetic reasons do not
constitute a hardship.
ALTERNATIVES: The Board of Adjustment may consider any of the following
alternatives:
. Approve the variance as requested.
....
.-<....
........,..,
. Approve the variance with conditions.
. Table action to request further information be provided by the applicant or interested
parties.
. Deny the variance finding that the review standards are not met.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends denial for the side yard, combined side
yard and rear yard variance requests, finding that Review Standards #2 and #3
have not been satisfied.
RECOMMENDED MOTION: "I move to deny the request for a four (4) foot side yard
setback variance for the east side yard, a nine (9) foot combined side yard setback
variance, and a five (5) foot front yard setback variance to modify the roof at 701 West
Francis, finding that Review Standards #2 and #3 have not been met."
ALTERNATIVE MOTION: "I move to approve the request for a four (4) foot side
yard setback variance for the east side yard, a nine (9) foot combined side yard setback
variance, and a five (5) foot front yard setback variance to modify the roof at 701 West
Francis, finding that the review standards have been met."

Re: 710 West Francis, Lot H, Block 16, City and Town site of Aspen
Dear Sara:
We are requesting a Board of Adjustments approval 10 modify an existing non conforming
structure. The proposed work would be limited 10 the Interior walls of the floor plan and
would include replacing the existing mansard roof with a new victorian style roof,
maintaining existing plate heights and increasing the slope of the roof.
The existing residence was constructed before the current setbacks were established. Tile
existing East and West exterior walls of the residence encroach the respective setback lines
at the Southeast and Northwest corners of the house, therefore any modification 10 the
mansard roof requires a variance. The hardship was not created by the landowner but by
changes mede to the zoning codes after the building was legally constructed. We are
requesting a five foot variance on both sides of the lot.
The pr'OpOSed redesign met the Residential Design Standards according to your signed
approval dated August 20, '999.
Please call if you have any questions.
Sincerely Yours;
Julie L. Johnson

Dear Sirs,
It is a hardship on the neighborhood that the neighbors are stuck with an ugly home
just because the city changed the setbacks for a building that was built legally.
This is a hardship on the neighborhood we are not in favor of. We are all in favor
of the new exterior. Please approve the variance for the good of neighbors.
Thank you.
