My personal observation is that such a carport would be very helpfull in eliminating on street parking problems which plague the West End area of Aspen. The parking area to the rear of the Christophel's house I am sure becomes useless in the winter months and it seems reasonable for them to request the carport to protect their autos from the weather. As well as making things safer the design shown to me wi 11 not effect our views of Aspen Ml. in any way and as this is very important to us, being directly behind the Christophel'S, we are very pleased wi th the design. Lastly, I remember before the house was constructed there was an old shed located at the rear of their lots which I am sure infringed on the present set back restrictions. I believe this could have been left in place giving them a car. storage area but inturn negatively effecting our property as well as others and too the aesthetics of our block. Instead it was removed which we were pleased about. We have no reservations about the Christophel's constructing a carport roof at the back of their home and feel, considering the circumstances, such a carport would be an improvement over what now is the parking situation. Respectfully Yours, WAy~JI \-lilliam RerfJl Cork/'RJed Owner 317 North Fourth Street NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING CASE 185-15 BEFORE THE CITY OF ASPEN BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT 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: Date and Time of Meeting: Date: Time: July 18, 1985 4:00 p.m. OWner for Variance: Appellant for Variance: Name: Frank & Susan Christopher Same Address: 506 West Hallam Aspen, CO 81611 Same Location or description of property: Location: 506 West Hallam, Aspen, CO Description: Block 28, Lots P & Q Variance Requested: Property is located in the R-6 zoning category. Rear yard set back is 15 feet when attached to the house Section 24-3.4 Area and Bulk requirements. Applicant appears to be asking to build a carport that would encroach 7.5 feet into the rear yard set back. Duration of Variance: Permanent will ap~licant be represented Qy counsel: Yes: No: X The City of Aspen Board of Adjustment 130 South Galena Street, Aspen, Colorado 81611 Remo Lavagnino, Chairman Kim Wilhoit, Deputy City Clerk DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED EXCEPTION SHOWING JUSTIFICATION We propose to construct a roof, and roof only, over the North facing portion of our house to serve as protection for vehicles frOQ snow fall. The reasons are several: first, we spend a substantial amount of time through the winter months in warmer climates. As such, we must leave our vehicles unattended for long periods of time. They remain parked on the street rather than off street, which I will explain below, cre- ating a hazard for snow removal efforts and a nuisance to the general driving public. vJhile we are residing in Aspen the snow accumulation at the road sides during the winter causes a situation whereby parked vehicles often pro- nude into driving lanes not leaving adequate lane spacing for traffic. Both these problems will be inherited by future owners, should there be any, if this request was to be denied. The North or rear of house which could be used for parking if covered, now becomes so snow packed and blocked, because of no sun exposure, it is impcssible to park vehicles safely in this area without the risk of damage. As we did not build the house, and moved in during the Sum:Ier months, we were unaware of this problem at the time of purchase. Other homes we had owned in Aspen had always had garages attached to them. In addition to all the above, the lots on which our home is now con- structed were given conditional approval for construction. That being, the large Blue Spruce tree located on the lots remain in place. Al- though we were not part of this process we are in agreement that such action was a proper directive and preserved one of the most outstanding trees in the West End area. However, this m2asure forced any home con- structed to be subject to front lot setback requirements far in excess of standa2d requirements inturn causing any structure to be offset to the North or rear of said lots preventing adequate covered parking with- in standard Tear setback requirem2nts. As you can see from the inf02mation supplied numerous other properties in the area, many of wuich set directly on the rear property line, in- fringe on the rear property setback limits at the very least. In many cases these infringements to the rear setbacks are for the purpose of vehicle storage. Further, the property located at 319 North Fourth St. and the O'Nners thereof, have recently finished construction on a new garage wuich does not conform to setback requirements. (1) As the proposed roof is well below existing house roof height, it has no negative impact on view planes of surrounding properties. Further, as this request is for a variance of seven feet, five inches it will leave a rear setback to roofs edge of seven feet, five inches while p:t'Operties to the North, East, and West have little to no setback at all. It has been our experience after close observation that this setback would be more than adequate for alley snow removal and other municipality functions. In conclusion, we feel this proposal is a most reasonable request, is a positive step to correcting an existing hazard and ~ssible public danger, all without negatively effecting any surroundmg properties or city functions.
