3. The grant of variance will be generally consistent with
the purposes, goals, objectives, and policies of the
Aspen Area Comprehensive Plan and Chapter 24 of the
Aspen Municipal Code.
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 24 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;
to wit:
The property is constrained by the non-conforming
location of the existing structure.
Section 2. Variance Granted.
The Board of Adjustment does hereby grant the applicant the
following variance from the terms of Chapter 24 of the Aspen
Municipal Code:
An 2 foot 6 inch rear yard setback variance,
construction of an elevator and laundry facility

MEMORANDUM
TO:
Board of Adjustment
THRU:
Julie Ann Woods, Community Development Deputy
FROM:
Sara Thomas, Zoning Officer
RE:
Charles Paterson, Boomerang Lodge - 500 West Hopkin
DATE:
August 12, 1997
--------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The applicant requests a variance from the rear yard setback
dimensional requirement in order to build a structure which will house an elevator
and a laundry room. The proposed addition would encroach into the required 10
foot rear yard setback by approximately 2 feet 6 inches for a length of 16 feet 4
inches, requiring a variance to permit a 7 foot 6 inch rear yard setback. The
lodge is located in the LP Overlay zone district, which has the following setback
requirements:
Front Yard -
Rear Yard -
Side Yard -
1 0 feet
1 0 feet
5 feet
The existing structure is already non-conforming with regards to the rear yard
setback. The addition of the elevator structure is considered to be an expansion
of an existing non-conformity. The permitted floor area for the parcel is 27,000
square feet. There is ample floor area available on the property to permit the
addition of the elevator and laundry room. The proposed addition would
eliminate 2 off-street parking spaces, however the lodge will still be providing
more than the required number of .7 parking spaces per bedroom.
Existing and proposed square footage will be reverified at the time of building
permit.
Please refer to the attached drawings and written information provided by the
applicant for a complete presentation of the proposed variance.
APPLICANT:
Charles Paterson, Boomerang Lodge, LTD.

LOCATION:

REVIEW STANDARDS AND STAFF EVALUATION: Pursuant to Section
26.108.040 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: Granting the variance will not conflict with the goals of
the Aspen Area Comprehensive Plan.
2. Standard: The grant of the variance is the minimum variance that will
make possible the reasonable use of the parcel, building, or structure.
Response: The addition will provide handicapped access to the
second story of the existing structure. The proposed location of the
elevator appears to be the only location on the building which is
directly accessible to a parking area and which will not conflict with
the existing second story walkways. The dimensions of the elevator
are the minimum necessary to provide handicap access. However,
the laundry room addition is an amenity which could possibly be
located within the existing structure or in a location which would not
require a variance.
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: The existing lodge structure is built to the rear setback line,
and encroaches beyond the setback line in some areas. The constraints
placed on the property by the location of the existing structure, as well as
the need to provide handicap access, appear to be unique to this parcel
and granting the variance will not confer special privileges upon the
applicant.
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 approval of the rear yard setback
variance request to construct an elevator and laundry facility.
RECOMMENDED MOTION: "I move to approve the request for a 2 foot 6 inch
rear yard setback variance to allow for a construction of an elevator and laundry
facility at 500 West Hopkins, finding that the review standards are met."

CASE 97-09 BEU.IS 941 E. COOPER AVENUE
Paterson said this is a request to temporarily relocate and store a historic home of
800 feet for 90 days.
David Hoefer, assistant city attorney, told the Board an affidavit of notice 'has
been provided indicating the notice requirements have been complied with.
Hoefer said the list of property owners receiving notice has not been provided.
Dave Rybek, Poss & Associates, told the Board that the applicant has received
approval from city Boards to remodel to a historic structure at 1008 E. Hopkins.
This request is to temporarily relocate the historic structure to 941 E. Cooper
A venue for a period of 90 days while excavation and foundation work is being
done on the E. Hopkins site. Rybek said after the foundation has been
constructed, the house will be relocated back to its permanent location. Rybek
said the structure will be fenced for safety reasons. Rybek pointed ~ut the
building fits within the building envelope on Cooper Avenue.
Jane Hattem, resident of East Cooper Court Condominiums, told the Board one
major concern is safety of her young child. Ms. Hattem said existing historical
structures around town do not look safe. Another concern is the improvements
she has done to this complex while waiting for the project to be finished. Ms.

Hattem said relocating this building here will destroy their work on the
properties. Rybek said thei-r intention was to place an 8 foot chain link around
the building during temporary storage. Sara Thomas, community development
department, said chain link fences are not permitted; fences visible from the right
of way have to be wood, stone or iron.
Rybek said this being moved to property not owned by the condominium
association. Paterson said there is a letter in the packet from Bob Langley, East
Cooper Condominium Association, which states they own this property, parcel B,
and that they have no objection to temporarily store this structure. Ms. Hattem
said this land has been sold but is part of the condominium association. Ms.
Hattem presented a letter from a neighbor questioning what happens if the
. weather is bad and the house has to be there more than 90 days. Rybek said they
have applied for a building permit, hope to receive a demolition permit within the
next week, and have ftled for an excavation permit. Rybek said they plan to be
done within the 90 days period.
Hoefer pointed out the city received a letter from Mark Tye, property owner of
935 E. Cooper, supporting the Hattems' objection of locating a building on this
property for safety reasons and having the house removed within the 90 days.
Rybek said this location is only 2 blocks away and has fewer problems in inoving
to this location. The Board discussed the type of fencing allowed in the city.
Ms. Thomas said construction sites are allowed orange net fences. DeLuca asked
if it would be possible to write into the variance that a chain link fence is allowed
temporarily for safety reasons if it is hidden behind a construction fence. Hoefer
pointed out this was not advertised as part of the variance. Rybek said they
would try and work within the regulations for the fence. Rybek told the Board
the house will sit on a tire rig, a stack of I-beams, while it is stored temporarily.
Rybek said they could enclose the structure with plywood and make sure the
cavity is not exposed and also use construction fence around it. Eriltkson asked if
a bond will be posted. Amy Amidon, community development department, said
a bond is posted and it usually has to do with the historic structure. Erickson said
the last temporary storage they had held a fine of $l,OOO/day if stored over the
allotted time. Erickson said he would like to see a bond in place for this project.

August 21,1997
Head moved to approve the request to temporarily relocate a historic structure
from 1008 East Hopkins to a vacant lot located at 941 East Cooper for a period
not to exceed 90 days, fmding that the review standards have been met and also
to require that a safety fence be erected around the house in accordance with city
zoning, and that the property will be restored to its original condition upon
vacation; seconded by Erickson. Roll call vote; DeLuca, yes; Erickson, yes;
Head, yes; Iglehart, yes; Paterson, yes. Motion carried.
CASE 97-08 PATERSON, BOOMERANG LODGE 500 W. HOPKIN~
Charles Paterson stepped down. Paterson provided copy of notice which meets
Code requirements. Head noted the applicant is asking for a 2'6" rear yard
setback to allow for construction of an elevator.
Paterson told the Board 4 years ago he reconstructed the west end of the
Boomerang Lodge, the top story. Paterson said increasingly people are having
difficulty with stairs. Paterson said these units are not handicap accessible.
Paterson said he decided to install an elevator and showed the Board the plans of
proposed elevator. Paterson said there is no way he can put this elevator within
the existing footprint. A 5' by 3'6" platform is needed for ADA compliance.
Head said some parking will be lost; however, there is more on site than is
required. The Boomerang is also under allowable floor area ratio. Paterson is
asking for 2'6" by 17'4" in order to accommodate moving the laundry room to
move it away from guest rooms. The present laundry room will be used for
storage and folding of linens.
There were no members of the public present to object to this variance request.
Head closed public comments.
DeLuca said it should be identified that the variance is going all the way to the
top of the building, not just the elevator but the entire 17'4". DeLup said he
does not have a problem with granting a variance for the elevator; the laundry
room is not a hardship but a convenience. However, the way the building is
designed, there would be little visual impact from this addition. DeLuca said he
feels this is not the minimum variance. Erickson said he does not feel this
variance is a problem. Iglehart agreed.

31 LOTS K,L,M,N,O,P,Q,R AND S.

Code; and
WHEREAS, this matter came on for hearing before the Board of

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT OF
THE CITY OF ASPEN, COLORADO:
Section 1. Findings of Fact.

by: Mr.Charles Paterson on August 6,1997 for property

1 0' 3 R 16.00 D 0.00 N 0.00 PITKINCO COLORADO
3. The grant of variance will be generally consistent with
the purposes, goals, objectives, and policies of the
Aspen Area Comprehensive Plan and Chapter 24 of the
Aspen Municipal Code.
4. The grant of variance is the m1n1mum 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 24 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;
to wit:
The property is constrained by the non-conforming
location of the existing structure.
Section 2. Variance Granted.
The Board of Adjustment does hereby grant the applicant the
following variance from the terms of Chapter 24 of the Aspen
Municipal Code:
An 2 foot 6 inch rear yard setback variance, to allow for
construction of an elevator and laundry facility at 500 West
Hopkins.

conditioned upon and subject to the following conditions:
1. Unless vested as part of a development plan pursuant to
Section 24-6-207 of the Aspen Municipal Code, the variance granted
herein shall automatically expire after twelve (12) months from
the date of approval unless development has been commenced as
evidenced by the issuance of a building permit, or an extension
granted by the Board in which case the variance shall expire at
the end of the extension.
