April 5, 1996 Mr. Bill Drueding Aspen Pitkin Community Development 130 Galena Street Aspen, Colorado 81611 RE: Reagan Variance Request 101 Park Avenue Aspen, Colorado 81611 Dear Bill: Tom Reagan is requesting a variance regarding grade change of greater than 30" with in a rear yard setback. This variance will allow the driveway to descent from the adjacent alley to a partially exposed lower level garage. The driveway will be approximately 30" lower than the alley at the garage and have a slope of 9% at the steepest point. The lowest elevation of the driveway is more than 30" below natural grade. The house is designed with an entry level including the garage, that is mostly below natural grade and an upper level that is at natural grade. This allows the house to have less exposed mass, maintain established grade levels for a prominent corner lot, and to be well under the allowable height for this site. The location of the garage on the alley is the most desirable for safety, neighborhood continuity and visual impact from major streets. If we were to raise the building so we would be in compliance with the 30" requirements the result would be a higher building with more of its mass exposed resulting in an undesirable impact on the neighborhood. I have enclosed the following information: 1. City of Aspen, Board of Adjustment Development Application (nine (9) copies. 2. Supporting documents showing the proposed garage and site information (nine (9) copies). 3. Current mailing list of all adjacent property owners within 300 feet. 4. Letter Authorizing representation at the Hearing 5. The Application Fee of $105.00. . ......... DAVID GIBSON A[A AUGUST RENO A[A SCOTT SM[TH A[A GIBSON-RENO .ARCHITECTS, L.L,C," III 210 E.

Rea,an - , '"">>0, We are requesting a variance to allow the grade of the proposed driveway to be more than 30" below natural grade within the rear yard setback. The current design locates the garage facing the alley and is partially above natural grade. The driveway descends from elevation 98' at the alley to its lowest elevation of 95'-6" at the garage. This grade is less than a 30" drop in grade and the driveway will have approximately a 9% slope. At the lowest point, the grade is however approximately 7.5' below the natural grade. The current design of the driveway will be the only portion of the project to be exposed below natural grade more than 30" and this will allow for less visual exposure of the garage and the height of the main ridge of the house to be only 23' above natural grade. Without the ability to locate the driveway as proposed, our alternative is to raise the building approximately 5'. This will expose more of the garage, as well as the entire building mass and negatively impact the neighborhood. \ - ~ ~ ~~ \ ~ I J / ----1 - - I~ .". ~ / /- ~ ~/:~ -I I I . m.% 'I " t I} ,.. - I )> ~_ I Z ~~ I 'I 'I ~ I I Ie" ~ I ~ I I ( , I ~_ I 6, I I '/ ----I ---- I =vI II I I I I~ ,) - " ~ / , ./ ,- ,.-: /' / -- --.~ , /" 1/ / ./' ,/ --... /' \ - ~ \ I _J I I I I I I I I~ li Ii I \ \ ,r.--' --,y, \ \ I I I .... \) III I / ~ ..i- / " ~ / ~ ~ I I .

Galena Street Aspen, Colorado 81611 &Dt~&W Re: 101 Park Avenue Variance ReqUest Dear Mr. Drueding: ---- I received a notice stating that there is a Variance Request for a project at 101 Park Avenue. I own the entire duplex residences at 126 Park Avenue and over the last nine yeaNi of my owneNihip have had an active interest in what happens in our neighborhood. Upon receipt of the Variance Request, [ called Gibson and Reno Architects L.L.c. to gain more information about the issue. After speaking with them about the 30" grade within setbacks issue and its impact upon current design, I wish to express my opinion to the Board of Adjustments. It is my opinion that the current proposed design, which has a lower ridge height than is allowed by guidelines, has less of an impact on the neighborhood and surrounding views. Specifically, by lowering the overall height of the building, such action preserves my vision of the Shadow Mountain to Silver Queen areas of Ajax Mountain for both me and my neighboNi to the NE of the proposed project. If they are required to raise the building approximately 5' to be in compliance with the proposed driveway, the neighborhood will be needlessly negatively impacted. I support their Variance Request as stated and discussed with me, and hope that the Board of Adjustments will grant this Variance. Sincerely, A;~ I?~ {' A1ja P. Adair, Jr. .
