TO ALL PROPERTY OWNERS AFFECTED BY THE REQUESTED ZONING OR USE
VARIANCE DESCRIBED BELOW:
Pursuant to the Official Code of Aspen of June 25, 1962, as
amended, a public hearing will be held in the Council Room, City
Hall, Aspen, COlorado, (or at such other place as the meeting may
be then adjourned) to consider an application filed with the said
Board of Adjustment requesting authority for variance from the
provisions of the Zoning Ordinance, Chapter 24, Official Code of
Aspen. All persons affected by the proposed variance are invited
to appear and state their views, protests or objections. If you
cannot appear personally at such meeting, then you are urged to
state your views by letter, particularly if you have objection to
such variance, as the Board of Adjustment will give serious
consideration to the opinions of surrounding property owners and
others affected in deciding whether to grant or deny the request
for variance.
The particulars of the hearing and of the requested variance are
as follows:

Variance Reauested: Property is in the R-6 zoning category.
Rear yard setback is 15 ft. Actual carport setback appears to be
7'4" and therefor encroaching into rear yard setback. Sec 24-
13.3 (a) no such nonconforming structure may be enlarged or
attached in a way which increases its nonconformity. Applicant
appears to be asking to complete the conversion of the carport to
a garage in the rear yard setback.

THE FACTS IN QUESTION.
DESCRIPTION OF ..PROPOSED EXCEPTION SHOWING JUSTIFICATIONS
Applicant requests permission to install an overhead garage door to close off a carport.
Permission was rejected on building permit application #10501, a copy of which is attached
as Exhibit A. The carport was built with the original residence in 1962 and is 7'4" from the
alley'and, therefore, beyond the 5' R-6 rear-yard ~etb~ck for accessory structures (Sec.
24-3.4). An improvement survey showing the position of the carport and house on the lot is
attached as Exhibit B. A recent survey of the carport/garage relative to the alley is
attached as Exhibit C. The carport was unknowingly made technically nonconforming in 1982
when the gap between overlapping roofs and side walls of the caq:lOit wen' clos,;J "conn{'ct.ing"
the carport to the residence. The R-6 setback for a residence is IS'. The overhead door
is nonstructural and will not increase any existing nonconformity of the carport/garage
which has existed in this location since 1962. Applicant requests that the Board of Adjustment
determine that this is a nonstructural addition to an existing nonconforming structure that
will not increase the nonconformity and, therefore, is allowed by ~24-13.5(a) or ~24-13.3(a).
Alternatively, applicant requests a finding that the Board exercise its (continued on reverse)

"...t
authority under ~2-21(3) to vary the application of the rear-yard setback regulation as
applied to this building so that "spirit of ordinance will be observed, public safety and
welfare secured and substantial justice done."
On the issues of observance of the spirit of the ordinance and substantial justice done, the
purpose of setbacks is a buffer for adjacent owners. Assuming the "connection" of the carport
to the residence during the 1982 remodel changed the structure from a conforming accessory
structure to a nonconforming portion of the principal residence, it is the least noncon-
forming rear-yard problem on that entire block. Every other property owner on that block
has either an accessory or principal structure that violate the rear-yard setback more
than the applicants' carport/garage. In fact, all the buildings on the north side of the
block intrude into the platted alley right of way. These encroachments are shown on the
map attached as Exhibit D. Adding the requested door will be a benefit to the neighborhood,
since it will block from view cars, bikes, garden tools, etc.
On the issue of practical difficulty, it is infeasible to relocate the garage elsewhere on
the property as can be seen from Exhibit B. On the issue of unnecessary hardship, the appli-
cants have suffered two major thefts of thousands of dollars of tools, bicycles and sporting
equipment from this open carport. Just last week, the police requested they close their
garage door since there have been a lot of garage thefts recently in this area. Applic.1llts
have had to move their windsurfer, bicycles and tools into the guest bedrool'l.

CONCLUSION
The residence surveyed employs some basic crime prevention hardware.
But such measures are defeated by critical areas outlined in minimum recom-
mendations.
Sliding glass doors and windows should always be equipped with dowels in
the tracks to defeat forced entry to windows. Most sliding windows and doors
are not designed to prevent forced entry.
The increase in lighting will serve to discourage any perpetrator from
"caseing" the residence.
It should be noted that the residence has been the victim of a burglary
as a result of the lack of garage doors. It will continue to be a target
of opportunity until such deliquencey is corrected. If the previously
mentioned recommendations are employed,security of the residents,and their
property will be considerably enhanced. Thereby hardening the residence as
a target of opportunity.
If there are any questions regarding these recommendations or techniques
in applying such,don't hesitate to contact the crime prevention officer at
the A.P.D. at 925-2025.

as a result of the lack of garage doors. It will continue to be a target
of opportunity until such deliquencey is corrected. If the previously
mentioned recommendations are employed,security of the residents,and their
property will be considerably enhanced. Thereby hardening the residence as
a target of opportunity.
If there are any questions regarding these recommendations or techniques
in applying such,don't hesitate to contact the crime prevention officer at
the A.P.O. at 925-2025.

CASE- '81-10 'TODDy WYNNE
Property is located in the R-30 zoning category. Side yard
setback is 10 ft. Sec. 24-3.7 Area and Bulk requirements.
Applicant appears to be requesting to encroach with an attached
garage 1 & 1/2 to 3 ft into the northerly side setback.
Harry Mayer representing Toddy Wynne: Affidavit and posting were
both presented to the Board.
There is two homes right there that used to be a subdivision
called the Quillen Subdivision. There is an empty lot on the
corner. By the map you can see the neighbor's house with a
former property line. And now that new property line. It was
done by the previous owner of both homes and lots and was done
over the head of the City. It was taken to Denver to a higher
court and they made them allow. The City did not want to allow
this split.
Remo:

Harry Mayer: No, it was a change of a lot.
Ron: Re-alignment of a lot line.
Rick: A lot line adjustment.
Har ry: Lot line adj ustment. The reason being it was a non-
conforming house. They needed more space to do their addition
and they wouldn't let them. They sued the City. They sued every
neighbor.
Rick Head: There was also a covenant in the subdivision that
prevented this as well. This was in the early 80s.
Remo: Why did it not come as a matter of procedure to this
Board?
Rick: It was a battl e with Council I bel ieve and the City
attorney.
Harry: So that is how that line got moved over. As you see the
square footage right now the Lot A which is not the lot we are
dealing with is a larger lot now, 31,776. Wynne's lot is
30,000. It could have been evenly distr ibuted and would have
solved my problem here. I have corne up with a few other
al ternatives if this doesn't happen. One is possibly for Wynne
purchasing 2 or 3 feet of the neighbor's property. We need 10
feet. I have talked with the neighbor who has Lot l2A and he
understands my problem. He didn't mind it at all.
Practical difficulties: I am not sure of the wording whether
that means practical sense or if that is one of the only
solutions, or reasonable.
The way the house is situated, as you face the house and you look
at the left side, there a lot of trees. Presently I understand
there is no driveway but it could be put in. I am not saying
that it is not impossible to put a garage on the other side. I
could be. There is room in the yard to put it with setbacks.
Charlie: You are saying you would lose trees on that side.
Harry: You would lose trees, whereas on the other side I would
lose a half-dead Aspen and one other Aspen.
I feel the owners were somewhat misrepresented when they bought
their lot. There is a big burm between the homes where it looks
like that is my yard and that is your yard. I know when I
purchase property I would get that marked and all the corners
marked before. There was supposed to be a certified survey. I
know it was the owner's fault for not doing it but if you would
'look at the property, there is a burm so that the stake east of

the burm is the lot line.

Then by the code "The applicant must present facts to prove such
difficulties and hardships. The Board rarely finds practical
difficulties or unnecessary hardships where applicants appeal as
a matter of aesthetics or design or economics where a reasonable
legal alternative is available."
It is not reasonable to put it on

Then the code says "The following shall be considered valid
reasons for granting a variance: That the special conditions and
circumstances do not result from the actions of the applicant."
That is the lot line.
Then "The granting of the variance is essential to the enjoyment
of a substantial property right enjoyed by other the properties
in the same vicinity and zone." As I drove down the next house
on the left you see a garage on one side and a garage on the
other. I could not find a property line. I don't know if they
are encroaching or not. As I drive through the neighborhood
everyone else is able to enjoy a garage.
Remo: We are not denying you that property right. You could
still get a garage on this property. Perhaps not where you
particularly want it. If this were a lot where it was really
small and there was no other place to put this then you might
have a case, plus the fact that the garage is not a necessity. It
is an amenity according to the code.

Harry: To put it behind the house, I would have objections from
the neighbor next door. Their living area is located in such a
way that this would be quite an obstruction.
Remo: But you would be allowed to put it there. Maybe that is a
good point for them to give you the extra 3 feet here on the side
as far as the alternative.
Rick: It is an adjustment I doubt you will ever get. It was
litigation to the Supreme Court of Colorado on this whole thing.
Remo: Only because the City objected to it.
Harry: It is only a matter of 500 sq ft to give away. It is not
even the whole lot line. As far as space, I could see a problem
if this were close to a neighbor encroaching into the setback but
there is a lot of room between.
Remo: The lot line change was done under a single ownership, is
that right?
(
Harry: Yes. There is a third undeveloped lot. This is the only
line that was changed. The original owner no longer owns any of
the three lots. It is not listed as Red Butte Subdivision or
Black Birch. Red Butte is an R-30. 300 feet down the street is
an R-15 where you have 5 ft setback.
Rick: He has created a new subdivision. That is why he was
mired in this battle because he tried to take 2 lots and turn
them into 3 lots. He had the density to do that but the
subdivision had covenants against it and the City took the
posture that it could not be done. He fought it to the Supreme
Court and prevailed. He had enough land on the two lots to turn
it into three lots. But that has no bearing on our
consideration.
Remo: What is the mInImum width of the garage, you have a 9 ft

Harry: At my own house I have a 10 ft wide garage and I have a
Subaru. You can go in and just get out of the doors. It is only
13 feet. I have given him actually 11 ft inside to make it able
to get the car door open against that one wall.
Rick: I hate to get into these kind of things of redesigning his
house but I can see other ways of resolving this problem without
having to grant a variance. They have already given you an
easement, the burm runs along here anyway. Maybe they will give
you another easement to let you drive in.
Harry: You get into big trees there. There are 4 trees at least
to cut out to come in any other way to the garage on this side.
The neighbor was a little upset at first. I said we are going to
match the siding, roof and windows. It is going to look like it
has always been there if I am allowed to do it.
(
Remo asked if there were any other questions. There were none
and he closed the public portion of the meeting.
All Board members complimented Harry on his presentation.
Rick: I do not see a hardship demonstrated here. We have seen
this garage question time and time again. There are a number of
other possibilities for putting a detached garage elsewhere on
the property that would not require us to grant a variance.
There have been numerable problems with respect to the neighbors -
in the Red Butte Subdivision on these properties historically and
I think we are opening up another can of worms if we grant
variance on this. I prefer to wait till the applicant appeals to
Council for relief by way of a lot line adjustment.
Ron: There are other alternatives as I see it to get this done.
We have identified certain areas where you could get help from
the neighbors.
Josephine: This is one of the cases that we run into from time
to time where there is lots of space but not in the right
position or not accessible. But there is not a strong enough
case here for us to grant a variance.
Charlie: First of all I consider this a minimal request.
Second, I really consider it a hardship when the lot line is
changed after a house has been built.
Remo: But not after the purchaser bought it.
l
Charlie: The point being, if that property line was there when
the house was built, the house would have been built down another
15 or 20 feet. And because the house was put there, I consider
this a hardship. It is another case where there seems to be
plenty of land but the location of the garage anywhere else does

not make a lot of sense. Th is is the only pi ace for thi s
particular house that this location makes any sense. First of
all the driveway location, second the window location on the
other end of the house where the living room is and third, access
to the back of the house would be quite difficult. I would be in
favor of granting this variance.
Remo: I think the applicant has the dubious honor of giving one
of the best presentations and being shot down in flames by not
being granted the variance. But I don't think all the avenues
have been exhausted. One of them, if he had come to us and said
I spoke to the owner of Lot 12A and he is adamant about not
giving me 1 or 2 feet--that is an avenue that has not been
explored, an avenue we don't have information on. If anything,
the owner might be amenable to giving him a foot or whatever is
required because he doesn't want to see the garage behind the
house. And there are alternatives within the framework of the
lot itself so I would be against granting this variance.

CASE 187-9 I-DALE & SALLY POTVIN
Property is in the R-6 zoning category. Rear yard setback is 15
ft. Actual carport setback appears to be 7' 4" and therefor
encroaching into rear yard setback. Section 24-l3.3(a) no such
nonconforming structure may be enlarged or attached in a way -
which increases its nonconformity. Applicant appears to be
asking to complete the conversion of the carport to a garage in
the rear yard setback.
Applicant presented affidavit and sign of posting of notification
of application for variance.
Joe Edwards, representing Dale & Sally Potvin: Essentially, Dale
wants to put a garage door on the back of what has been, for 25
years, a carport. I am going to let him recite for you the
history of how this building got to where it is today. That will
give you that perspective and then I will make some technical
arguments.
Dale Potvin: I purchased the house in about 1980. The house was
built in 1962. Originally it was a house and a carport and then
some time in 1970 a bedroom was added on.
Joe: This is a 1970 improvement survey that shows at that time
when they were making this addition on the side that the carport
was existing and had been built at the time.
Remo:
And it is in the same condition that it is now?
Joe:
Except that we want to close off the back.
I
,~..' "
~' Remo: I mean everything else was enclosed except for the door?
Joe: Right. It is 7'4" from the back line.
Bill Drueding: This survey shows a carport overhang of this
thing here and a loop overhang here that does not show any
connection. These two are connected now.
Joe: That is correct. We are going to address that. There was
an overhanging roof and they were not connected.
Remo: Are they connected now?
Joe: Yes, they are.
Remo: When were they connected?
Joe: He is going to tell you when that happened.
Dale: This was a separate and independent carport and as an
accessory building it can be within 5' of the rear yard setback
in R-6 so this conformed to zoning assuming zoning was the same
25 years ago.
Remo: Then it was not connected, is that right?
(
Bill: It conformed in the rear but it was non-conforming in that
separation.
l
Joe: who knows whether that was required 25 years ago.
Dale: I bought the house after living here for a couple of
years. In 1982 I was able to do some remodeling on it. It was
in need of a new roof and in the process of getting a zoning
permit to do an extensive remodel, I put a new roof on the house.
My building permit to remodel allowed me to enclose kind of a
hallway portion that you see on that survey between the carport
and the existing house. It made that into a bedroom of sorts
from the carport which required an extension of the roof.
The 6" gap in the overhang was a natural collection point for
bl~wing and melting snow which would dam up and create ice in
that area. I reviewed that with the roofers and we decided to
enclose the 6" gap. It seemed an obvious thing to do to stop the
problem that we were having as far as ice and snow build up.
That is effectively how the house became non-conforming from an
accessory building to attached garage.
Remo: Did you do this in conformance with your building permit?
Dale: Yes.

('
Remo: Your permit allowed you to do this?
Dale: Yes. I had a building permit to basically do all this
remodeling to enclose this area and--
Remo: To connect the two buildings.
Dale: And to add that connection between the hallway and then in
the process of doing that I was in need of a new roof and so
actually I put a roof on it and that was a disaster. The next
summer I had to redo that and in that period made that
connection. I initially did it one way and then I re-did it but
effectively with that '82 permit I connected it. At that point
the house was 22 years old. The roof was obviously in need of
repair and I had a permit for that hallway and it was all part of
the existing roof. It was an obvious safety hazard because of
melting and ice build up and so it was enclosed at that point
with a tar and gravel roof.
(
Rick Head: If we are talking about a non-conforming structure
because of the proximity of the carport to the house, why would
the building inspector give approval on the permit to expand the
non-conforming use? A variance would be needed. I don't see how
the building inspector would have the authority to grant a permit
on something that is already non-conforming and further expanding
on the non-conforming.
Dale: That was a hallway.
Remo: I think it was an oversight.

had been there since '62 and

It is a point that he wanted to make.

Ron: What is closing the roofs in?
Joe: They were overhanging and they put a little connecter
between them to keep the snow from blowing in under the back
door.
Dale: I have just kind of put a grade so it kind of slopes from
the garage on to the master bedroom rather than have that
overhang.
At that time I had no knowledge that there was any

At that point when I bought the house there was a wall on the
total east side of the garage. And its shed already in place.
Joe: This is a picture taken right here looking along the
sidewall so that you can just barely see the sidewall. This
sidewall was in place on the existing carport and the guy had
built-in storage cabinets on the inside of it. That was that way
when Dale bought it.
Remo: He bought in 1962?
Joe:

No, he bought in '80. When he bought it, that was already
closed in so it wasn't like a carport with 4 poles. It had

Dale: When I re-sided the house, I re-sided that portion of it
and so it now has vertical siding just at the horizontal side
that was on it.
In the last 2 years, I have had 2 thefts out of my carport, both
of which aggravated me tremendously. In the first theft, I lost
approximately $700.00 worth of tools and sports equipment. The
other theft was a pair of skis which was just this last winter.
After the second theft I was determined to close in the garage
because of the irritation that this created for me. At this
point I started enclosing a portion of it which would be the
westerly portion. Joe will show you where that is .

Dale: That was done during the summer. Later in the summer I
Joe: Here is a picture of what it looks like today. He added
this section. And he added around the corner these sections here
and here. This part was already there.
Bill: And did you re-do this wall here, Dale?
Dale: That was done in '82 when I entirely remodeled the house.
I actually had done a portion, there was celotex on a portion of
it since ' 82. I didn't real ize that it should have required a
permit. I did get a permit to move the electrical because the
electrical box was in the carport. I also got a permit to move
my gas meter out which was also inside the carport. But
basically it was a non-structural addition. I probably should
have got a permit. I was incorrect in not doing that. I wasn't
changing the footprint. The posts that supported the garage are
kind of a natural parameter to enclose it and that is basically
what I was attempting to do. At that point while I was getting
the permit, I was red tagged and stopped construction and have
since come forward and applied for this application.
Remo: When you got the permit to put in the garage door, you got
red tagged?
Dale: When I got the permit to change the electrical meter and
gas meter.
Remo: You got red tagged then?
Bill: That's what made us aware that something was going on
there.
Joe: They then went by and checked it because he pulled those
permits and they saw that he put on this wall and gone around the
5

corner and was about to put on the garage door. They gave him
this red tag asking that he do 3 things. He would need a 1 hour
fire wall between the house and the garage. And you need a 1 and
3/8 solid core door here on the back and you need a survey to
determine the proximity. So then this spring he filed a building
permit to do those things. Under the application is a building
permit and he was asking for the I hour fire wall, the placement
of the glass door, a protective metal post and gas meter and to
put in the overhead door from the carport. That was rejected and
referred to this board for the reasons of a setback.
Dale: That gives you an idea of what I am attempting to do. To
enclose within the existing footprint a carport. And I am asking
for a variance to do it for reasons of secur ity. I have al ready
had 2 thefts out of there and I feel like it is a very reasonable
request.
I have talked to all the property owners on the block. There are
6 other property owners. All of the other property owners enjoy
the privilege of encroaching either into the rear yard setback or
actually into the alley. So it is something that other property
owners, over a time, have been able to do. I have talked to them
each individually.
I have a letter from each of the property owners on the block.
They support my request and have all signed the letter. I typed
up a form letter just to make it easier. I did review and give
each person updated comment on all these points. They understand
what I am doing. I have given them a copy of my application and
reviewed it with them in detail. They are aware that I am just
enclosing an existing garage within my property line but I need a
variance. They feel the more security there is in the alley, the
safer everybody's property will be. They also feel that
aesthetically they would rather drive by and see a closed garage
door than look at all the things that one collects and stores in
a carport or garage.
Joe: Here are those letters for the record and here are a series
of photographs that the Board members may want to examine that
show the condition of the alley and show the other encroachments.
You can see that these other buildings are a good deal closer to
the alley than Dale 's. All the ones on the north side are
actually in the platted alleyway and this is a full residence
which is within a few feet of the platted alleyway. I don't know
how he got that unless he got a variance. And this is a detached
structure which is in a few feet of it. Dale's is set back 7 &
1/2 ft. So every single property owner on the whole block has
more of an encroachment than Dale does and they all have closed
doors.
Dale: The last point is that this spring the City of Aspen
Police Department asked me to close my garage door because they

thought it was very much an obvious invitation for someone to
steal. We discussed the problem they have had in the alleys in
the west end with people stealing from those areas. I have since
had them do a security report on my house. I have a written
report from them with their minimum recommendation being that a
garage door be installed and properly equipped with a security
device. I have been victimized by burglary. It is an obvious
target and is deficient and should be corrected. I certainly
have the support of the Police Department in recommending that it
be enclosed for security reasons.
Joe: With respect to the code compliance part of the
presentation I note that for some reason that defies logic,
buildings on lots which are 2 and 1/2 times the size of this one,
can have the principal dwelling only 10 feet from the back
property line. Yet principal buildings in smaller R-6 zone are
supposed to be 15 ft. It doesn't make a lot of sense but that is
the way it is.
Bill: The R-6 zone has streets and
they have allowed don't have alleys.
that.
alleys. The subdivisions
That is the reason for
Joe: Also for accessory buildings, which in this case would
include detached garages, can be 5 ft and I am not sure there is
a lot of logical reason why you can say that it is more
impractical to have a detached garage at 5 ft and yet an attached
garage has to be 15 ft. What is the difference on the impact of
the neighborhood?
Bill: It is a safety factor. They want a 10 ft separation so
they can get fire equipment in there. When you attach the garage
to the house, they don't require the 10 ft but they require a 1
hour separation. That is a safety more than a visual effect.
Joe: At any rate we are here requesting under either of two
theories. We could either just request a variance--just a flat
out setback variance instead of 15 ft that we be given a 7'8"
variance for the carport in place and allowed to go ahead and put
the garage door on which is essentially all we want to do. The
thing is there. It is not going away. It is not going to be
torn down. And it is not going to be removed or anything so it
isn't going anywhere. It seems like it is almost zero impact on
anybody to put a garage door on it which will meet code. We will
put in the fire wall. We will put in the solid core door. We
will do everything that we are required to do as if it had been
attached. We would just request that variance and I point out
that compared to all the other properties on the block, we have
more setback by substantial amount than anybody else.
The second way this thing could be approved is by approval of an
overhead door as being a non-structural addition to an existing

non-conforming structure. This thing was made non-conforming
when the overhanging roofs were connected to prevent the snow
from blowing in. I don't think anybody real ized that that had
the effect of switching this from a detached structure accessory
building to part of the principal residence making it technically
non-conforming. It has been that way since 1982 and we could
approve it as a non-structural addition which doesn't increase
the non-conformity of that existing non-conforming structure.
(
You could, I suppose, take the position that it was Dale's fault
that it became nonconforming. But it certainly wasn I t
intentional and I think that no one noticed it. I think that
provision allowing for existing non-conforming uses to be cleaned
up, repaired, as long as they are not expanded is certainly
within the intent of this thing.
I think the standards of exceptional circumstances, the
unnecessary hardship arises out of the fact that this is the most
conforming of any on the block. It is an unnecessary hardship to
say that he can't prevent thefts in this area by closing it off.
All the neighbors think is a great idea. So we would
respectfully request your consideration to, under either of those
theories or both, grant Dale permission to complete this project
and put his garage door on.
Remo: First I want some clarification from Bill. That 1986
addition--that last one that he put the west wall and got red
tagged--does that mean he would have to take that down?
Bill: That was done

So any application for variance would have

Joe: Again, that is a non-structural wall.
Remo: It doesn't matter. It was done without a permit and it is
an illegal use. Actually it is not a carport now is it? It is a
garage as it stands now. Just clear this point up. The
structure, as it stands now, would you consider that a garage?
Bill: In that it is surrounded by 4 walls, yea.

Bill: Yea.

Remo: My next question is what constitutes a door? Is 8 ft a
door?, 4 ft?, 10 ft? So if they detach the main house from the
garage and brought it back to its original status, they would not
need a variance. If they just do separate roofs because that was
a non-conforming use is between the 2 houses. That was existing.
Bill: I have no proof that the connection between the roofs or
the connection from the carport where the snow was blowing
through--that connection I can find no proof that that was done.
Remo: No, I am tal king about between the house--not the east
wall--just the house and the garage.
Charlie: You need 10 feet.
Remo: Well, but OK, so that is a non-conforming use. It is a
separate building now, it is not attached to the main house. We
agreed that
Bill: It was attached by wall also.
Remo: Well, it wasn't. At one time it wasn't.
Bill: But it is now.
Remo: I know, I am try ing to establ ish that if he had not
connected these two walls together, and they were separated, what
would that carport be considered? An accessory building? or an
attached, I mean it is not attached
Bill: It would have still been an accessory building
Remo: Right, requiring what?
Bill: Requiring what to do with it.
Remo: These setbacks--the rear yard setbacks.
Bill: The rear yard setback would have been non-conforming as
far as
Remo: Between the buildings but that was existing so we can't do
anything about that. But they would have been allowed to put
this structure in.
Bill: No, I didn't say that.
Remo: I mean a carport would have been a legal use.
Bill: The carport was a legal use.
Remo: Right. So it is the enclosure that you are--the conversion

(
of increasing--but wait a minute now, the carport would have been
a conforming use, it would have met setback requirements.
Bill: It would have met the rear yard setback requirement.
Remo: Isn't that the one that they are asking for?
Bill: Yea.
Remo: So that they could have built a garage.
Bill: No. They couldn't have enclosed the area between the
carport and the house because you need a 10 ft separation and
they didn't have that.
Remo: By adding the wall, they would have increased the non-
conforming.
Bill: Yea, you took your carport like this and then, you know,
your wall here
Remo: So that the fact that it didn't have a wall back there
Bill: Right.
Rick Head: You can't expand a non-conforming.
( Bill: Right. It was a carport and so there was no existing
wall. There was a separation between there. In '82 the
connection that was made. I can't prove that it was done either
way. When you come to '86 what happened was the electrical and
gas meter had to be taken outside. Permits are pulled separately
wi thout getting a building permit. They were asked to be
inspected. The Building Inspector went out there and said well
that is fine but how did this other stuff happen? That is the
time that he red tagged it in '86. He knew that we wouldn't have
allowed that to become a garage because then it would require a I
hour separation. He had a door which was not a proper door. He
had been here long enough he knew it wasn't inspected. These
walls, by Joe's admission and of yours, this wall here and these
walls across there, were done without a permit. This one you can
clearly see was done on purpose.
Ron: Dale, how long have you been in real estate?
Dale: I have been a broker for about 5 years.
Ron: And in real estate in this town? Were you in real estate
when you bought this house?
(
Dale:
years.
No. Actually I was. I have been in real estate about 7

in compliance with City codes. My intention was to do this by
code. I could have easily put up a garage door and I admit I did
enclose that without a permit which was incorrect. But I could
easily put a garage door on and without a permit.
Remo: Then you would not have been able to move those utilities
outside.
Dale: What I am saying is that I felt that it was a very minor
issue. I felt like as long as utilities were outside, both gas
and electrical, I was effectively complying with
Joe: And he was wrong and he admits that.
Rick Head: Wouldn't you say there were other issues like fire
wall and glass door that justify permits?
Dale: I will rectify all those issues as shown by my building
permit.
Bill: When did you apply for the garage door? After being red
tagged?
Dale: Yea, not until a month ago, 6 weeks ago.
(
Joe: You were red tagged in the Fall. And he waited till this
spring to get back into the construction business.
Dale: There is a certain amount of frustration that a homeowner
feels when things are stolen from you. A certain amount of
feeling of invasion that I guess motivated me just to go ahead
and get this done. Every time something is stolen I feel very
frustrated and probably that frustration is what made me go ahead
without first coming in to get a variance but
Joe: Well, you didn't know a variance was necessary until you
got red tagged, actually till you got the building permit. That
is the first time the setback issue came up.
Bill: There wasn't anything else to come in for.
Dale: In retrospect I was incorrect in the procedure I followed
but it is my intention to do it by code and I think that the
security issue is a very strong one here.
l
Remo: I would like to address that since that is a strong
argument. There is plenty of opportunity to secure whatever your
possessions are. It is not incumbent on us to have that space
provided for you especially in a non-conforming use. As I
remember looking into that garage you have some utilities in the
back. You have a kind of step up that sets back of where some
type of bench or laundry or some other area. The cars don't go
11
,...."-
",'#
c
to the wall. That portion could be secured. You could put some
kind of locks or whatever it takes to secure it. If that is an
insecure area then don't put your possessions out there. We
can't really look at arguments of that nature in order to look at
granting a variance.
On another point, you talk about other people enjoying or
infringing on the setback. Because others have more than you,
does not give us cause to expand your non-conforming use. You
also are enjoying something in the setback. Whether somebody is
in the alley or not, I don't think it is a matter of degree to
how much more you can ask for in a non-conforming way than other
people are enjoying.
Joe: In response to that I stuck that in there because I was
reading out of section 2-22 paragraph D which says the following:
Shall be considered a valid reason for granting a variance. (3)
That the granting of a variance is essential to the enjoyment of
a substantial property right enjoyed by other properties in the
same vicinity and zone but denied to this property because of
special conditions or extraordinary circumstances.
Remo: But you are enjoying those. You are in the setback.
Joe: The others all have their doors on and we don't.
(
Remo: I don't think it was meant to expand those non-conforming
uses. You are enjoying it--not to the degree that they are.
That doesn't give us cause to grant you a variance.
Joe: But expanding would be to enlarge.
Remo: Expanding the use. It could be expanding the use too.
Joe: We are not expanding it.
footprint.
It is wi thin exactly the same
~
Remo: You know, when I first saw this I said I can't believe
that you are being denied a permit. I can't believe that you
wouldn't be allowed an overhead door to be put in here. I almost
had prejudice corning in here. I couldn't understand why we
couldn't give him this variance. But now I realize that there is
cause. When you are doing things illegally in the first place in
order to get to the point where it looks like a garage, then we
have a different set of criteria on which to base granting you a
var iance or not. p,nd that has to be addressed. If that was an
existing built structure the way it is now, I can hardly
understand why you wouldn't be granted a variance. But I can see
that a lot of things have happened that were not under the review
of accountability to the Building Department.
Joe: Dale has apologized for that. Are we going to penalize him
12
(
and not give him a variance the way you give everybody else
because he did not realize he needed a building permit?
Rick: First we gave him a variance for the garage door and the
Building Department said you got to pullout those two walls that
were added illegally.
Bill: If you give him the variance for the door, you are giving
him the variance for the walls. Then the Building Department,
with your variance, can have him do the construction correctly.
Rick: What position would the Building Dept take if we deny the
garage door? Would you let him leave the walls that are
presently there?
Bill: I would have to talk to the City attorney.
Joe: They would never act on a mandatory injunction to try to
force somebody to remove that. That's silly.
Remo: We had a whole roof removed. A roof that was up already
on the Continental Inn.
Charlie: But that was a very extreme situation.
Remo: Well, it was something that we did that should be done.
~ Joe: He was doing it intentionally, right? He knew exactly what
he was doing. He was deliberately violating it. He only got the
permits that he knew he needed to get and he just didn't think a
garage door required one. He was wrong. He was dead wrong. He
should have had more consciousness about it. Do we want to
continue to flail him because he made a mistake?
Remo: I think what Ron might have been referring to, is that he
is in the business of knowing things about it.
Ron: I consider him an expert in this field.
Remo: And all of a sudden to lose his memory about failing to
realize that he needs a permit to put up any kind of structure--
anything you do around here.
Joe: I deal with brokers every single day. Maybe they should
know more than they do but they don't know beans about setbacks.
I am always dealing with the problem of a lack of realtor's
knowledge of the technical compliance with the codes. That's why
we have lawyers.
l
Remo: But Dale has been before us on a lot split and we were
talking about things of that nature. I can't believe that he is
not familiar with that section of the code. However, given the
13
benefit of the doubt on that
~ Francis: I think it is pertinent to introduce something in this
draft that has been prepared by the City Attorney about our
duties and reasons. On page 5 paragraph 3: Self infliction or
self created. Whether a hardship is a result of the applicant's
own actions is a highly significant fact which is of material
element bearing on the determination of the necessary hardship or
practical difficulty and weighs heavily against an owner seeking
variance.
(
l
This is a self-created hardship.
some of it without a permit.
Some of it with a permit and
Joe: I think what they are referring to there would be something
like if he had built the thing within the setback and then came
in for the variance. But he was just merely trying to put a door
on the back of something that has been there for 25 years.
Francis: By connecting the garage to the house is what created
the non-conformity.
Joe: That's right. Not to anybody's intention or knowledge.
Francis: Didn't you do that?
Dale: Yea. 6 years ago.
Francis: You created the non-conformity by your own actions.
This is the point I am trying to make.
Dale: I had a building permit to remodel my house. I had a
permit to enclose the hallway. That required a new roof. I was
operating under the assumption that it was an allowable thing for
me to do. The house was inspected and signed off on and no one
mentioned that by enclosing that overlap I was creating a non-
conformity. I didn't realize it was. I don't think any of us
actually did until we delved into this particular issue. I don't
think that it was an intentional violation of any codes on my
part. It was done as a safety issue. I am sure you can
appreciate that. I have to admit that your point is well taken
that there are other things you can do for security but when
things are stolen from you, there is a bit of emotion that does
come into play and if you have ever been through that, I am sure
you can appreciate it.
Remo asked if there were any other public comments.
Joe: I would ask that the Board look back at this thing in the
way in which you looked at it when you first heard about it. You
guys aren't to be a criminal law jury to sit here and decide that
Dale was a bad guy because he overlooked the fact that he needed
14
(
(
l
a permit to put the west wall on. Therefor, we are going to
punish him by not giving a variance that if he hadn't done that
we would otherwise give. That isn't really the role of this
Commission. Look at it from the standpoint of what have we got
here. What is this going to harm? What is the best thing to do
under the situation for the community, for the land use codes,
for the building, for the health, safety and welfare of its
occupants and its people? What is reasonable under the
circumstance?
Your initial reaction was very accurate. It is totally silly to
say that he can't put a door on the back of the garage. All of
his neighbors support it. Nobody complained. Everybody thinks it
is a great idea. The thing has been there for 25 years. It
ain't gonna get any bigger. Its gonna get better if we put the
door on it. The police want him to put the door on it. He wants
to put the door on it. The neighbors want him to put the door on
it. So why don't we do the thing that is right and let him have
the door on it? It just seem incredulous that we would get hung
up in some other logic to turn down what everyone thinks is the
most reasonable thing to be done here under the circumstances.
It is a plea for logic and reason and humanness. We have come
back. We are asking for a building permit. We want to put on
the fire wall. We want to put on the core door. We want to do
it legally. We will do everything Bill wants us to do. We will
do it twice. We are trying to be lawful, law abiding citizens
here for an oversight. It ain't gonna hurt a person in the world
and it's gonna help Dale and it's gonna help the police. The
only people its gonna help by you guys denying it is some
burglars. And everybody is gonna be harmed.
Francis: I am unclear as to how much of the walls of the
existing part were added without a permit.
Joe: This section here and here and this section here and this
section here. And the top was already there. This wall was
already here and the top across here was already here.
Ron: And this one was added under the permit in '82?
Joe: This was already always on the carport.
always on the carport. What Dale added was
this little section around the corner.
This drop down was
this section. And
Francis: Was this 7 ft or so?
Joe: Yes.
Ron: You mean this used to be open here?
Joe:
No, no, this was part of the house.
That was started in

'70 before he bought it.
Bill: So this roof is now connected.
Francis: There is no wall along there?
Joe: No.
Remo: So there is no wall there?
Joe: No.
Bill: You have to keep a 10 ft separation between a carport, the
carport roof and--it doesn't need to have a wall. Just needs a
roof. Just a carport. You can't put the carport right up
against your main building. You can attach it. You don't need a
separation there.
Remo: Well, if the carport is he r e, then it becomes a non-
conforming use.
Joe: For 25 years its been like that, which is now
nonconforming.
Remo: Now, there was no line here.
Joe: Well there is a pole.
Bill: There was a separation there. I can find no proof that
this connection was made with a legal permit. That doesn't mean
that it was not done legally.
Remo: But he had a permit.
Bill: No he didn't.
Remo: To connect this roof?
Bill: No.
Remo: He didn't. See, I guess my point was before that when I
asked you whether they could put a wall between that, you said
no, they can't because it is not 10 feet.
Bill: Right.
Remo: But I am saying to you that there was no wall. They don't
have to put a wall, but once you connect it by the roof that
changes it and you did connect it with a wall there. He
connected with a sidewall and a roof.
Dale: The connection was done in '70 and so because of blowing
16
(
snow and buildup, I just had a little roof about 6 inches, you
know, its just sloping so there is a natural grade. Actually
they just sloped everything from this end.
Bill: Did you have a building permit to do that?
Dale: Yes.
Bill: Do you have copy of it?
Dale: In '82 I got a permit to put a door right here. I want to
stress that when I enclosed this it was an outside hallway.
Ron: There was no roof there before?
Dale: Right. In '82 the house needed a new roof and it was a
decision made with the roofer, you know, where do you want the
water to run?
Bill: Did you get a roofing permit?
Dale: I used a licensed contractor.
Bill: You got a licensed contractor. You got a roofing permit
and that is a different thing. You got a permit to re-roof a
roof which you don't go and inspect and you don't look
( Joe: You don't expect anything to be added, any construction to
be added
Bill: So this connection was not made, this is an additional
thing you should have had a permit for instead of just a roofing
permit.
Dale: I used their license for roofing contractors
Bill: The roofing contractor? That's why I don't have any plans
for this and no record. A roofing contractor is a different
thing.
Dale: I assumed he got one.
Bill: Well, I don't think you can assume, I thought he would
have but he didn't that I can see.
Charlie: I can see that was a very honest mistake.
l
Remo: Yea, I don't find any fault in that.
Francis: As I understand it, part of the walls at the back were
added without a permit and the roof was connected without a
permit. Is that correct?

Dale: The roof was done with a roofing contractor.
Francis: Connecting and adding more to connect the building.
Joe: Well Francis, nobody knows. We don't have a permit copy.
That was 6 years ago. They don't have a copy so we can't say
whether it was done lawfully or not.
Remo: But a licensed roofing contractor did the work.
Dale: Yes. They are a licensed contractor. They work in this
valley every day. I assumed that they were legitimate and
honest. I paid them fees and put that roof on and they handled
the whole thing for me.
Bill:

The thing is it was still a carport and we have two more
and what do we do about that?
Remo: We have several letters. They are form letters and Ron
will read one and I will enter the names for all of those for the
record.
Ron: Dated July 9, 1987, City of Aspen, Board of Adj ustments,
Dear Board of Adjustments: I support the request by the Potvins
to enclose their existing carport into a garage. I understand
their carport has been in existence since 1970 and that the
enclosure represents no further expansion into the rear yard
setback. I feel it is in everyone's best interest because it
will provide more security for all of us who use the alley by
making the Potvin's personal items less visible for potential
thefts. Aesthetically, it will give the alley a nicer look.
Please grant the potvins the variances needed to accomplish this
enclosure.
Signatures to this letter are as follows:
Jack Barker, Lots K, L, & M, Block 43
John Lizzo, Lots R & S, Block 43
Marguerite M. Scheid, Estate, Lot A, B, C, Block 43
Sharon M. Prior, Lots D & E, Block 43
Vivienne E. Jones, Lots F, G, H, & I, Block 43
C.M. Clark, Lot R & S, Block 43
Dale: I sat down with each person and reviewed exactly what was
done. I disclosed that I had built a wall illegally. I showed
them the maps. That is a form letter just out of convenience
because I did not feel I wanted to infringe upon my neighbors to
write something out. You are welcome to call anyone. There are
some people from in town and some from out of town. I have their
total support for this action.

(
l
Remo asked if there was any further public comment. There being
none he closed the publ ic portion of the meeting and asked for
comments from the Board.
Charlie: I had the same reaction that you did, Remo, when I went
by there. I looked at all the other houses and saw the nice
closed-in area, especially the one down at the end of the block.
I said I can't possibly believe that he does not have a garage
door on this. I did not know at the time that he did add a
section of a wall to make it look the way it looks.
But when I look at the whole picture and all the things you have
said, which I agree with you, there is definitely a wrong when
something is added without a building permit. There are some
doubtful gray areas. But when I look at the whole thing, I can
see an honest error taking place between a roofing contractor and
an owner in solving th.e problem. You put a new roof on a
building and say, look, I have ice dams here and snow in between
the building, all these problems--how am I going to solve them?
The roofing contractor goes down, he gets a permit to re-roof.
They do a little addition of 3 feet on the sloping roof. They
sol ve the problem. I can see where that is an honest error. It
isn't something that is planned by the owner to bypass a building
inspector.
I also think it is a minimal variance. It is a reasonable
request, a logical consequence of all these circumstances. I see -
a property right of this owner which is enjoyed by others in the
same vicinity and zone. I see there is a health and hazard
problem where if it is not granted, there is a half-finished
situation. I know the City is not going to go into a legal
situation. I feel strongly that they won't make him tear off
that roof and cause an unsafe house which is going to cause
problems again. He is going to have a sloping roof which drops
then into a hole if you make him take down those connections that
we have been told have been added, illegally, yes but they have
been added.
I have had problems with thefts and you feel like you are invaded
by something you can't handle. There is no way you can solve the
problem. If I had a boat, I can't put it in my child's bedroom.
I have a motorcycle. I can't stick it in my bedroom. You know,
its very impractical to ask people and say well you can get other
storage places. I feel that the only solution we can really
humanly do in this case is to grant the variance and be done with
it. And give the police a little peace of mind and the owner
peace of mind because that is a real problem anywhere where you
have nice houses and you have a lot of belongings. I would grant
the variance.
Remo: Charlie, you addressed the roofing contract and I think we
might agree with you on that. But you really sluffed over that
19
".',
(
other little wall that they put up illegally. would you care to
state your rationale in allowing that to happen before you grant
him a variance?
Charlie: I can see where the evidence presented shows that the
owner was planning to put the garage door on. The only way to
put the garage door on is to build those walls. You can't build
a garage door against an open post and have a hole there. Again
I don't feel we are looking at somebody with criminal intent
because I don't feel that's what this is all about. I think that
somebody was trying to solve a problem and it may have been not
quite legal and then a lot of people don't know that a small roof
or a small wall has got consequences in the zoning code.
c.)
I don't feel the neighborhood is served by us not granting the
variance. I understand your points. I agree with them but I
want to go beyond that. I feel that we have a problem to solve
not only for the City but for the owner. I think it is a real
serious problem. The Building Department can't solve it. We are
his last resort. We are here to try to bring justice and
humanism to a pretty harsh zoning code. When you look at this in
context, the zoning code doesn't make sense for this particular
situation. I can't solve it by adhering to the zoning code.
Remo: I agree with you but he had recourse and that was to come
to this Board in order to get that variance to do that and
present those arguments that you are presenting to me now, to the
chair. They could present it to the Board at the same time and
we would have looked at it in that manner. Right?
Charlie: I think it is an honest oversight.
Rick: I think the fact that the applicant has or should have had
superior knowledge to the lay person as to building permits. I
have a problem with that. I can empathize with the applicant's
loss to thefts. I, too , in the same vicinity, have had a number
of thefts this year from my home. I don't have the luxury of a
garage or a carport. There is nowhere on my property I could put
one and abide by all the setbacks. I have to make other
ar rangements. I usually do that by taking a storage shed down
valley and that is a pain in the neck as we all know. But that's
life in the west end in the R-6 zone.
c
I don't know if we have ever granted a variance based on
recurring thefts as being a hardship. Al though I feel empathy
for the applicant, I don't know if that is a consideration I can
justify giving a variance for. I think Remo' s comments are well
taken as to possibly building another secure area within the
confines of that carport, perhaps another partition wall between
the house and where the car would naturally stop. I don't know
if granting this variance would actually be in keeping with the
spirit or the letter of the comprehensive plan. I think we are,
20
"'''.......
(
in fact, granting a variance to increase a non-conforming
situation. It was a carport. Now all of a sudden it is close
to a garage. It is this creeping situation that we are faced
with constantly. Again it may not have been the cause of the
applicant but I think it is a consideration. I personally, I am
torn. This is a tough one. I don't think I would be prepared to
grant a variance.
Ron: I have to agree with Rick. It is tough. Some of the walls
have been there longer than others and so on and 50 forth. But I
don't see a hardship. I think that special condition results
from the actions of the applicant, maybe inadvertent, honest
mistakes but they were his actions. Nobody else put up the walls
or anything else. I think that the simplest thing to do would be
to add a garage for him and be done with it like Charlie
suggests. However, I think that would be going against the code.
It would be condoning this creeping disregard for the code that I
feel in this situation. It is real easy to say oh it is just a
garage now but there was 6 years when a lot of things were going
on to get it to this point. It is 95% finished so it is not
worth going back and tearing it down. I would like to see
something done. But I think that the non-conformity should be
reduced back to the 1982 level, the last time that a building
permit was issued. I would not grant this variance.
Joe: Well, that's it because you have to have 4 votes.
( Remo: I thought maybe you would like to hear the comments. For
the record, we want to put them down.
Francis: I feel that the special conditions and circumstances
resulted from the action of the applicant. And I don't think we
can excuse something by holding it as an honest mistake. That is
not the way the Board has handled things in the past and I don't
think it should handle it that way now. I also feel that an
applicant has two strikes against him when he comes in and admits
that he added a part of the structure without a permit with the
intention of putting the door in and probably would have put the
door in except for the stop order. I am very sympathetic in your
problem. I have had thefts with people corning right into my yard
and stealing things out in the Snowbunny area. I feel the Board
has to go by certain pr inciples and guidel ines and I don't feel
that you have met them enough to justify a variance. I am very
sorry.
l
Remo: Basically I feel the same way. I have stated my position.
The only thing that I could add is that I really don't subscribe
to the idea that because something done honestly but illegally
should be allowed to continue in its non-conformity. So I would
be against granting this variance.
Ron: I move to deny this variance.

TO ALL PROPERTY OWNERS AFFECTED BY THE REQUESTED ZONING OR USE
VARIANCE DESCRIBED BELOW:
Pursuant to the Official Code of Aspen of June 25, 1962, as
amended, a public hearing will be held in the Council Room, City
Hall, Aspen, Colorado, (or at such other place as the meeting may
be then adjourned) to consider an application filed with the said
Board of Adjustment requesting authority for variance from the
provisions of the Zoning Ordinance, Chapter 24, Official Code of
Aspen. All persons affected by the proposed variance are invited
to appear and state their views, protests or objections. If you
cannot appear personally at such meeting, then you are urged to
state your views by letter, particularly if you have objection to
such variance, as the Board of Adjustment will give serious
consideration to the opinions of surrounding property owners and
others affected in deciding whether to grant or deny the request
for variance.
The particulars of the hearing and of the requested variance are
as follows:

APPLICATION FOR REHEARING
BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT CASE NO. 87-9
DALE AND SALLY POTVIN
The applicants, Dale and Sally Potvin, request a
rehearing before the Board of Adjustment on the grounds of
newly discovered evidence. The applicants seek approval to
enclose a carport which intrudes seven feet, eight inches
into the IS-foot rear-yard setback.
The prior application stated that the nonconformity was
created in 1982 when the roofs were connected by the appli-
cants during a remodel and replacement of the roof. Subse-
quent investigation has revealed that that statement was
incorrect. A copy of the prior application is attached as
Exhibit A. The building permit denial application is
attached as Exhibit B. The drawing showing the relation of
improvements to the rear yard is attached as Exhibit C.
The east side wall on the carport had been connected to
the house when the house was built in 1962 and, therefore,
the carport has been part of the principal residential
structure for more than 25 years. This became apparent to
counsel for the applicants when, for the first time, he saw
pictures of the house taken in 1982 in the course of the
hearing and did not at that time realize the full implica-
tion of the existence of the wall. A copy of the
photographs is attached as Exhibit D. Subsequent to the
hearing, the applicants located the former owner of the
house, who advised them that the east wall of the carport
was attached to the house when the house was constructed by
his parents in 1962. A copy of the former owner's affidavit
is attached as Exhibit E. The 1956 original zoning allowed
a five-foot rear-yard setback, a copy of which is attached
as Exhibit F.
The carport portion of the residence intrudes into the
IS-foot rear-yard setback approximately seven feet, eight
inches. The reasons expressed for the denial for the
variance at the prior hearing were that the Board could not
condone the fact that the applicants had installed the
replacement west wall on the carport without getting a
building permit and that the nonconformity had been self
created because the applicants had connected the carport to
the residence in 1982 when the roofs were connected.
There is a difference between a nonconforming use,
which is not involved in this case, and a nonconforming
setback encroachment, which is.
In this situation, either a carport or a garage is
allowed by right as proper "uses" in this zone, so whether
the structure is a carport or a garage is actually
irrelevant because both uses are allowed. The nonconformity
exists regardless of whether it is one or the other. The
"",
nonconformity in the structure arises only as a result of
the encroachment into the setback and has nothing to do with
whether it is an enclosed garage or an unenclosed carport.
What is prohibited and discouraged is the expansion of the
nonconformity. In this case, whether you use the encroach-
ment area as a carport or a garage is irrelevant and has no
effect on either increasing or decreasing the nonconformity.
Therefore, on the grounds of this new evidence that the
nonconformity was not created by the applicants but that the
carport was attached to the principal residence when orig-
inally built, the applicants request a rehearing on their
request for a building permit to enclose a carport which
already exists within the l5-foot setback. Applicants have
enclosed a new mailing list and will renotice the adjacent
owners for a subsequent hearing.

DESCRIPTION OF ..PROPOSED EXCEPTION SHOWING JUSTIFICATIONS
Applicant requests pennission to install an overhead garage door to close off a carport.
Permission was rejected on building permit application #10501, a copy of which is attached
as Exhibit A. The carport was built with the original residence in 1962 and is 7' 4" from the
alley and, therefore, beyond the 5' R-6 rear-yard ~etb~ck for accessory structures (Sec.
24-3.4). An improvement survey showing the position of the carport and house on the lot is
attached as Exhibit B. A recent survey of the carport/garage relative to the alley is
attached as Exhibit C. The carport was unknowingly made technically nonconforming in 1982
when the gap between overlapping roofs and side walls of the caro:>oit wer.e closed "connecting"
the carport to the residence. The R-6 setback for a residence is IS'. The overhead door'
is nonstructural and will not increase any existing nonconformity of the carport/garage
which has existed in this location since 1962. Applicant requests that the Board of Adjustment
determine that this is a nonstructural ad~ition to an existing nonconforming structure that
will not increase the nonconformity and, therefore, is allowed by ~24-13.5(a) or ~24-13.3(a).
Alternatively, applicant requests a finding that the Board exercise its (continued on reverse)

authority under ~2-21(3) to vary the application of the rear-yard setback regulation as
applied to this building so that "spirit of ordinance will be observed, public safety and
welfare secured and substantial justice done."
On the issues of observance of the spirit of the ordinance and substantial justice done, the
purpose of setbacks is a buffer for adjacent owners. Assuming the "connection" of the carport
to the residence during the 1982 remodel changed the structure from a conforming accessory
structure to a nonconforming portion of the principal residence, it is the least noncon-
forming rear-yard problem on that entire block. Every other property owner on that bloek
has either an accessory or principal structure that violate the rear-yard setback more
than the applicants' carport/garage. In fact, all the buildings on the north side of the
block intrude into the platted alley right of way. These encroachments are shown on the
map attached as Exhibit D. Adding the requested door will be a benefit to the neighborhood,
since it will block from view cars, bikes, garden tools, etc.
On the issue of practical difficulty, it is infeasible to relocate the garage elsewhere on
the property as can be seen from Exhibit B. On the issue of unnecessary hardship, the appli-
cants have suffered two major thefts of thousands of dollars of tools, bicycles and sporting
equipment from this open carport. Just last week, the police requested they close their
garage door since there have been a lot of garage thefts recently in this area. Applicants
have had to J:l-Jve their l,indsurfer, bic:,cles and tools into the guest bedrOOM.

RESOLUTION
OF THE
BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT
CITY OF ASPEN
Case No. 87-9
Dale and Sally Potvin
This matter came before the Board of Adjustment (Board)
on an application for rehearing on a request for a variance
to the rear-yard setback and notice having been published
and mailed as required.
The Board has considered the evidence and the arguments
of the applicants.
The Board finds:
1. The evidence has shown that a practical
difficulty exists in that the applicants are unable to
install an enclosed garage in the rear of their
single-family residence without intruding into the rear-yard
setback.
2. The special condition does not result from
the actions of applicants.
3. The special condition is unique to this
property.
4. The granting of the variance is essential to
the enjoyment of the substantial property right, that is, an
accessory enclosed garage, enjoyed by other properties in
the same vicinity.
5. The granting of the variance will not
adversely affect the general purpose of the comprehensive
plan.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Board hereby grants a seven-foot,
eight-inch variance to the R-6 zone rear-yard setback
requirement for Lots Nand 0, Block 43, City of Aspen, to
allow the enclosure of the space previously defined by the
existing carport to be constructed as an enclosed garage or
similar accessory use to a single-family residence provided
that the conditions on such approval shall be:
1. The uses within the setback variance granted
shall be limited to accessory uses for single-family
residences.
2. No second-story structure shall be
constructed within the variance granted.
.
.
,.. ..,,~
"-~
3. The owners shall prepare and place of record
a covenant running with the land reflecting these conditions
and limitations on the uses and structures within the
variance hereby granted.

WHEREAS, the Board of Adjustment of the City of Aspen
on September 3, 1987, case number 87-9, granted a variance
for Lots Nand 0, Block 43, City of Aspen, to allow an
enclosed garage to extend seven feet, eight inches into the
IS-foot rear-yard setback in the R-6 zone subject to the
limitation that the structure within the setback shall be
utilized only for accessory uses associated with a
single-family residence and that no second story shall be
allowed within the setback.
THEREFORE, the owners of Lots Nand 0, Block 43, City
of Aspen, hereby covenant and ag~ae for themselves, their
heirs, successors and assigns as a covenant running with the
land enforcible by the City of Aspen, that the uses within
the seven-foot, eight-inch setback variance shall be limited
to accessory uses to a single-family dwelling and that no
second story structure shall be allowed within the setback
variance area. A copy of a plat prepared by Alpine Surveys,
Inc., Box 1730, Aspen, Colorado 81612, Job Number 87-59,

Re: Resolution regarding variance for Potvin's, Restrictive
Covenant
Dear Remo:
Enclosed for your review and signature is a resolution
prepared by Joe Edwards regarding the Potvin variance. I have
reviewed the resolution and believe that it satisfies procedural
requirements and accurately reflects the Board's actions in this
matter.
Also enclosed is a copy of a restrictive covenant, signed by
the Potvin's, restricting the use within the variance to access-
ory buildings. I have filed the original with the Pitkin County
Clerk and Recorder Office.

RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
BOARD OF ADJUSTMENTS
JULY 2. 1987
Chairman Remo Lavagnino called the meeting to order at 4:00 pm.
ROLL CALL
Roll call was taken with all members present.
MINUTES OF MAY 28. 1987
Josephine Mann made a motion to approve the minutes of May 28,
1987.
.
Charlie Paterson seconded the motion with all in favor.
CASE 187-9 / DALE & SALLY POTVIN
After discussion pertaining to the posting' of this case, the
Board decided to table this case to date:certain of July 16,
1987.
Charlie made a motion to postpone this case to July 16, 1987.
Anne Austin seconded the motion with all in favor.
CASE 187-7 / THO~~S & HARRIET. LARKIN
Harriet Larkin: I gave you all a new copy 9f the survey in which
I shaded the setback on our lot. I appeared before this Board on
May 28, 1987 and I feel that my presentation was not clear enough
about the unnecessary hardship of the l;ayout of the lot. I
brought this in to show what a large portion of our lot is in
setback. Our front line is 181 feet long on the street and 100
feet on the side and 140 feet in the back.
The whole lot is 8,082 sq ft. The setbacks take over 5,000 sq ft
of the lot. This is more than 2/3 of the lot. This leaves just
1/3 of the lot to build upon. According to the information the
Board of Adjustments gave me, the decision on whether to grant a
variance is based on Section 2-22(d) items 1,2,3 & 4 page 156 of
the Aspen Municipal Code which states these valid reasons for
granting a variance.
11. "The special conditions and circumstances do not result from
action of the applicant." Clearly the unusual shape of this lot
with 181 frontage was done when the subdivision was platted and
is not of our making.
12. "Special or'. extraordinary circumstances apply to the
1
".'..
....~.......
subject property that. do not apply similarly ,to the other
properties in the same vicinity or zone." The .ther lots in
Calderwood do not have such large frontages on the ~treet and are
not penalized by such extreme amounts of footage. and setbacks.
Some of the lots have 30 ft frontage, some are 40 ft and some are
50 ft frontage. We should be entitled to what other property
owners in this same area have. They lose much less of their lots
due to setbacks and their lots are smaller. The granting of a
variance will not adversely affect the purpose of the
comprehensive plan.
No property owners notified have objected and the ones in the
immediate area who would be affected the most have been very
supportive. I have letters from neighbors on both sides of me
who are supporting this request and more who are here today in
support of this request. The only variance I am asking is 15
feet instead of 30 feet on the street side.
Remo asked for comments from the Board.
Ron Erickson: Are you moving this garage closer to the house so
that it is 10 ft from the house now?
Harriet: It has to be at least 10 feet from the house. If it is
attached the setback is 10 feet. If it is an accessory building,
its setback is 5 feet.
Remo asked for comments from the public.
Susan Resnick: I live about 3 houses down from this property and
i can't imagine why they would not get this variance. They have
more greenery than anybody else in our neighborhood. It is a
fairly congested area but their's is certainly the most open. I
think the impact from this would be minimal.
Olaf Edstrom: The Larkins are very responsible, respectful
people who wouldn't think of doing anything to harm the
neighborhood. I, as a resident, am concerned about 2 particular
things in the community; fairness and the maintenance of the
appearance in our community. Number 1, I don't think this would
be an objectionable structure. Number 2, I think it grossly.
unfair to deny the variance because of the unique form of their
property compared to all the others. The failure to provide the
variance would, I think, be grossly unfair to them.
.John Hayes of 1112 Waters: I can see no unfavorable impact
whatsoever from this proposed variation. On the contrary the
amount of open space they have around their house and the siting
of the garage as they propose would seem to us to maintain the
allure of that particular part of Waters Avenue.
Pete McClain of 1110 Waters:
I am here on behalf of Harriet

Larkin. I think that any improvement like this on the cuI de
sac, you should not even have to think about. . It would be
getting automobiles off the street and it would b~ a tremendous
improvement to the whole cuI do sac and I think that everybody
who lives there feels the same way. I can't imagine why the City
would even think about turning down a variance like this. Those
automobiles being off the street would make' it simpler in the
winter to have the street plowed. I think it woul d be a real
nice improvement to the whole cuI do sac and I hope that you find
in favor of this variance and let the Larkins take care of it
right away.
Remo asked for further public comments. There were none and he
closed the public portion of the meeting.
Letters from 'Richard Lewis and Lesl ie Holst were. then read into
the record as attached. Both were in support of this variance.
Josephine Mann: I said last time that I thought the shape of the
lot was a real hardship. Now we are told almost 2/3 of the lot
is in setbacks not to be built upon. This re-enforces my feeling
that this is a real hardship. I spent a lot of time looking at
that today because I had said last time that garages are not a
necessity. We have to really think hard about granting such a
variance and so I .went back and looked at that to see if I could
agree with what I had said last time about thinking that this
would not fit in with the spirit of the general plan. I decided
I would change that because of the amount of space there. They
have a larger lot than many of the other people do. That would
be one thing that would be an advantage. It is also an advantage
to get another vehicle off the street. I am also very favorably
impressed with how the neighborhood feels about this and so I am
willing to grant this variance.
Rick Head then asked to excuse himself from this application
because of a conflict of interest.
Ron Erickson: I would be in favor of granting a minimal variance
which would mean moving the garage 10 feet from the building,
move it back 3 feet on the lot so that it would not be inside the
setback.
Remo:
to the
get in
You have to remember the reason that they couldn't move it
minimum variance was they couldn't turn the car around to
to that side.
After much further discussion, meeting was temporarily adjourned
to the Larkin property in order to get an on-site study of this
variance application. The time was 5:20 pm.
The meeting was re-opened on the Larkin Property at 5:35 pm. This
on~site study resulted in a motion made b~ Francis Whitaker which
3
.
",.,

would grant to allow garage to be set against rea~ yard setback
line 16 ft width and 20 ft from rear yard setbacK line towards
street frontage and corner.
Charlie Paterson seconded the motion.
Roll Call: Charlie Paterson, yes, Anne Austin, yes, Francis
Whitaker, yes, Josephine Mann, yes, Remo Lavagnino, no.
