Hopkins Ave. Aspen, CO 81611 Dear Mr. Dreuding: On October 31, 1986 as the representative of the Hotel Jerome I submitted plans to the building department for perimeter fence on the south and west sides of the Hotel property. The plans were denied because the fence height at certain points exceeds six feet. Section 24-37 (c) requires that a fence shall not exceed six feet above grade and where visible from the street shall be constructed of wood, stone, wrought iron or masonry. The proposed fence meets the requirements for materials because it will be wrought iron along Main Street and wooden along the west property line and on the north side of the alley behind the Aspen Times. Application is made herein to the Board of Adjustment for a variance for a fence which, on the east end of the alley and on the north side to the wall of the Hotel building, will have a height of from six feet to just over nine feet. The Hotel Jerome property is unique in that it comprises the entire north half of block 79 and the eastern 179 feet of the vacated alley and most of the southern half of the block. The alley runs from Monarch Street behind Carl's Pharmacy and the Aspen Times and dead ends after 100 feet. Addi tionally this property is unique in that there is a grade change of over 3.5 feet between the south and north portions and this occurs almost entirely at the alley. The physical site presents two practical difficulties; one is that the alley projects part was- into the property, and two, the ground drops awas- specifically at the alley. We are requesting a variance in the fence height primarily for hotel security. Given the building foot print, the site is secure except for the alley off Monarch Street. Adequate lighting and security can be maintained at the Main Street garden entrance, the Mill Street garden and the parking garage. It is a reasonable and necessary request for the Hotel to provide, not merely adequate, but complete security along the alley where the property is the most vulnerable. The garden will have an open swimming pool and access to many areas of the Hotel. The management consultants and insurance carriers for the hotel both want a nine foot fence along the alley. While a six foot fence is a deterrent it is easily scaled, especially if it is stepped. while a higher fence is an absolute barrier .' ,.,c, Mr. William Dreuding November 17, 1 986 Page Two and will ensure that neither innocent pranksters nor serious felons will be able to access the property. Further it is reasonable that this quality, landmark lodging facility be permi tted to construct a fence to screen the alley from the guest rooms in the addi tion. This will screen the visible refuse generated by the Aspen Times and Carl's Pharmacy and will deaden a large amount of the noise of early morning activities in the alley. It is, it seems, an injustice to disallow a nine foot fence in the alley where it will be invisible from any public street and serves the purpose of allowing the full enjoyment of this unique plrcel. Having determined the necessity and reasonableness of the variance requested the board must judge the request on the basis of factors found in 2.22(d)(1 ),(2),(3) and (4). It is certain that this property is unique in that the alley is vacated through 6a;, of the block and projects into the remaining 40%. This extraordinary circumstance does not apply to other properties in the vicinity and in the commercial core zone. It is essential that the variance be granted to ensure the rights of the hotel owners and guests to privacy, to peaceful enjoyment of the property and for security of the grounds. Finally, the granting of this variance will not adversely affect the purpose of the comprehensive general plan. The Jerome garden is designed to be open and attractive to the guests and general public of Aspen. Along Main Street the wrought iron decorative fence is only three feet high and will have an entrance gate to access the garden. The variance is requested for the fence around the alley, out of view of the public and not in any way impeding legitimate public access to, or enjoyment of, the Jerome public areas. I respectively submit this letter, fee, eight copies of plans and information on the neighbors wi thin three hundred feet. Please notify me of the hearing date to allow me to comply with the other requirements in a timely fashion. Sincerely yours, ~~:~y /Auu7 PH/j d PERRY HARVEY PITKIN COUNTY TITLE, Inc.

MEII>RANDUM TO: Board of Adjustment FROM: Steve Burstein, Planning Office RE: Hotel Jerome Fence Variance DATE: December 11, 1986 ---------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------- On November 25, 1986 the Historic Preservation Committee approved a request to place a fence along the east end and north side of the alley protruding into the Hotel Jerome property, the fence was to vary in height from 6 feet to not more than 10 feet. HPC found that the fence would have no adverse effect on the historic character of the Jerome, and would be compatible with the architec- ture of the existing hotel and the addition. This memorandum is written at the request of HPC in support of the Hotel Jerome request for a variance. sb.345.2 ~'. ..
