Board of Adjustment
City of Aspen
130 South Galena
Aspen, Colorado 81611
Re: Northerly portion of Lot F, Block 47, City
and Township of Aspsn, Colorado
Dear Board Members:
As owner of the above referenced Lot F, I seek variance to permit
the construction of a single family residence on my property. Both
the nonconforming nature of the parcel and its irregular configuration
require that I seek variance with regard to setback and Floor Area
Ratio in order for the property to reasonably accept the building of
my house and thus be availed of the property rights denied by the
special conditions of its nonconformity.
HISTORY
The size (1103 s. f.) and shape of Lot F are a result of a court parti-
tion in settlement of an ownership dispute between the Shaw family
and others,
Lot F was thus a Lot of Record in separate ownership and not of
contiguous frontage with other lots in the same ownership prior to
the adoption of the Aspen Municipal Code, Under these circumstances
the Zoning Code (Sec. 24-13,6 Nonconforming lots of record) provides
for the right to erect a single family dwelling.
Reference: Appendix, Paragraph A,
LOCATIONAL FACTORS
Located in the R-15 zone and fronting on Hyman Avenue, the lot is
surrounded by a larger parcel under the single ownership of the Shaw
Estate. Although no geological hazards exist, the lot is located at the
base of Shadow Mountain adjacent to the old Rio Grande Right of Way
and the city Icounty boundary. Excepting the level gradient of the old
railroad alignment, the majority of adjacent land in the county is in
excess of 30% slope and thus precluded from future development.
Because of the physical constraints to future building development on
the south side of Hyman Avenue and the build out existing on the
,.,.~,
r",
...-._,~.
',""
Letter to Board of Adjustment
28 December 1982
Page Two
north side of the street, it is our assumption that the City will not
need to upgrade municipal services, including street improvement, to
accommodate future growth in that area.
The 11 03 s. f. parcel itself is 30 ft. wide at the dimension adjacent to
Hyman Avenue and averages 37 ft. in depth.
Reference: Exh ibit A, attached
Exhibit B, attached
ZONING FACTORS
Application of current R-15 zoning criteria to the size and dimensions
of Lot F result in the following conditions:
Minimum Lot Area:
15,000 sq. ft.
Setbacks:
As indicated graphically on Exhibit C, the
allowable building area remaining from
appl ication of setback criteria is 30 sq. ft.
Building Height:
Allowable Floor Area:
1103 s.f. (lot area) x 80
100
25ft.
=
882.4 sq. ft.
Above Grade Deck & Balcony:
15% x 882.4 (A.F.A.)
Garage:
Permitted exemption from A,F.A.
=
132.4 sq. ft.
600 sq. ft.
The effect of setback provisions and the allowable Floor Area consti-
tutes both a general hardship and denial of a substantial property
right caused by the existing circumstance of the property shape and
size.
VARIANCE REQUEST
In consideration of the adverse conditions affecting the construction
of a reasonable single family dwelling on this site, I respectfully
request the Board of Adjustment grant variance to permit the following:
A, Reduce the setback requirement to permit zero lot line building
area. This would allow a building footprint (ground floor),
excluding a 2 car garage of approximately 450 sq. ft., of
approximately 650 sq. ft.
B. Enlarge the Allowable Floor Area to permit the construction of
a single family dwelling of approximately 1650 sq. ft.
. .

/'"'

Letter to Board of Adjustment
28 December 1982
Page Three
My request for variance is based on the following factors:
1. Zero lot line coverage will not adversely affect the character
of the immediate neighborhood because both physical and
zoning constraints will likely limit adjacent development to
only one additional single family dwelling. Being of both
continuous frontage and of single ownership, the individJal
lots within the adjacent Shaw Estate parcel do not separately
constitute nonconforming lots of record. The Shaw parcel
would thus be regarded, as a conforming lot and development
allowed only in conformance with the orovisions of the
current zoning code,
2. As shown on Exhibit C, the distance from the front property
line to the existing edge of Hyman Avenue is approximately
19 feet, which should be adequate dimension for the future
development of sidewalks, utility upgrading, street improve-
ment, etc,
3. As shown on Exhibit 0, the example of two level floor plan
is designed to the zero lot line configuration of the site and
includes provision for allowable deck areas and a two vehicle
garage within the defining boundaries. The resultant 1650
sq. ft. dwelling unit is a minimum but reasonable 2 bedroom
accommodation which would adequately serve the needs of my
family, and be visually compatible with existing neighborhood
development.
4. I submit that the conditions surrounding my request for
variance have basis in each of the Code referenced "valid
reasons for granting a variance" as denoted below:
a. That the special conditions and circumstances do not
result from the actions of the applicant.
b. That special or extraordinary circumstances apply to
the subject property that do not apply similarly to
other properties in the same vicinity and zone,
c. 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 the subject property because of the special
conditions or extraordinary circumstances.
d. That the granting of the variance will not adversely
affect the general purpose of the comprehensive
general plan. (Code 1962, Sec. 11-1-12; Ord. No.
21-1967, Sec. 1; Ord No. 35-1974, Secs. 1, 2; Ord.
No. 42-1976, Secs, 1, 2; Ord. No. 12-1979, Sec. 1).

APPENDIX

PARAGRAPH A
Sec. 24-13.6. NONCONFORMING LOTS OF RECORD.
(a) Where, at the effective date of the adoption of this or any code or
amendment hereto, a lot of record was in separate ownership and
cannot meet the minimum requirements for area or width, a single-
family dwelling and customary accessory buildings may be erected
on any single lot of record provided:
(1) Such lot is in separate ownership and not of continuous
frontage with other lots in the same ownership;
;,'
(2) This provision shall apply even though such lot fails to
meet the requirements for area or width, or both.. that
are generally applicable in the district, provided that
yard dimensions and requirements other than those
applying to area or width, or both, of the lot shall con-
form to the to the regulations for the district in which the
lot is located. Variances of yard requirements shall be
obtained only through the action of the board of adjustment.
(b) In residential district where two-family or multiple-family dwellings
are permitted, the requirement for square footage of lot area required
per dwelling unit shall be strictly interpreted with no credit given for
fractional portions of the required minimum as a basis for constructing
additional dwelling units, except in the R-6 residential district where
a two-family dwelling may be erected on such a lot containing a minimum
of eight thousand (8..000) square feet.
(c) In any district, no hotel or lodge shall be constructed on a lot non-
conforming as to minimum lot area for the district.
(d) If two (2) or more lots or combinations of lots and portions of lots
with continuous frontage in single ownership (including husband and
wife as in all cases a single owner) are of record at the effective date
of adoption or amendment of this zoning code, regardless of diverse
times of acquisition, and if all or part of the lots do not meet the
requirements established for lot width and area, the lands involved
shall be considered to be an undivided parcel for the purposes of
this code, and no portion of said parcel shall be used or occupied
which does not meet the width and area requirements established by
this code. (Ord, No. 11-1975, Sec. 1; Ord. No. 16-1980, Sec. 3)

AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTIONS 24-3 AND 24-13 OF THE ASPEN MUNICI-
PAL CODE BY AMENDING THE DEFINITIONS OF BASEMENT, SUBBASEMENT,
SUBGRADE AND THE SUPPLEMENTARY REGULATION FOR MEASURING FLOOR AREA
FOR FLOOR AREA CALCULATIONS; AND FURTHER AMENDING AREA AND BULK
REQUIREMENTS TO INCLUDE MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE FLOOR AREAS FOR SINGLE-
FAMILY AND DUPLEX STRUCTURES IN THE R-6, R-15, R-30, R-40 AND R-MF
ZONE DISTRICTS
WHEREAS, as a result of recent construction of single-family
and duplex residences in Aspen with excessive area and bulk, num-
erous residents of the R-MF neighborhood located at the base of
Shadow Mountain did petition the Aspen City Council to place limi-
tations on the construction of such residences, and
WHEREAS, in response to citizen-initiated petition, the Aspen
City Council did adopt Ordinance No. 50, Series of 1981, on August
24, 1981, imposing a three (3) month temporary moratorium on the
construction and/or expansion of all buildings within the R-MF
zone district within the City of Aspen, and

WHEREAS, the City Council did instruct the Planning Office to
review and research the area and bulk issue and to recommend an
appropriate solution to the problem, and
WHEREAS, on November 24, 1981, the Aspen City Council did
I
,

/
adopt Ordinance No. 80, Series of 1981, extending the moratorium
on the construction and/or expansion of all buildings in the R-MF
zone district for a period of one month to provide the Planning
and Zoning Commission and the Planning Office additional time to
thoroughly review this problem and propose an adequate solution,
and
WHEREAS, the Planning Office and the Planning and zoning Com-
mission"uid thoroughly review the problem of the construction of
residences with excessive area and bulk and did find that the pro-
b1em is not confined to the R-MF zone district, but instead is
equally of concern in all residential zone districts, and

WHEREAS, on November 24, 1981, at a special meeting of the
Planning and Zoning Commission, the Planning Office did present
several alternative approaches to control excessive area and bulk
in the City's residential districts, including: 1) floor area
ratios based on zone district, 2) volume ratios based on zone
district, 3) floor area ratios based on lot size with a maximum
upset limit, and 4) "sliding scale" floor area limitations based
on lot size, and
WHEREAS, the Planning Office and the Planning and Zoning Com-
mission did after evaluating numerous approaches proposed for
dealing with the area and bulk problems, did find that area and
bulk is not a function of zone district but is more appropriately
a function of lot size, regardless of where a structure is
located, and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did find at the November 24,
1981, meeting that the "sliding scale" area and bulk approach
based on lot size to be the most effective method of limiting
floor area for the following reasons:
1. The "sliding scale" approach realistically deals with
the problem of substandard lots.
2. The "sliding scale" method deals more equitably with the
great range of lot sizes found within each zone district
than does a separate floor area ratio for ~ach dis-
trict.
3. The "sliding scale" approach appropriately assumes that
allowable building floor area for single-family and
duplex units is a function of lot size. Therefore, the
requirement is uniform across the City, works irrespec-
,
'I
I
.
tive of zone districts, and does not penalize an appli-
cant because of where he owns property.
4. The standards provide a mechanism for increasing the
allowable floor area in 100 square foot increments of

lot size and reflect a maximum desirable floor area for
each lot size range. As a lot size increases, so does
the ability to accommodate a larger structure up to a
pre-determined limit.
5. The method is easy to explain and administer and can be
readily applied at an applicant's request, and
WHEREAS, at a regular meeting on December 8, 1981, the Plan-
ning and Zoning Commission did hold a public hearing to consider
the standards incorporated in the "sliding scale" area and bulk
control approach and did instruct the Planning Office to develop a
1
I
I
more permissive set of standards to compare to the standards which
were initially considered at this meeting, and
WHEREAS, at a special meeting on December 15, the Planning
and Zoning Commission toured approximately fifty-three (53)
single-family and duplex structures in various residential zone
districts throughout the City of Aspen to evaluate the applica-
bility of the two proposed sets of standards, and
WHEREAS, at the conclusion of the tour, the Planning and Zon-
ing Commission did reconsider both the Planning Office's original
recommendation and the second more permissive set of standards and
did find that the original standards did provide the more appli-
cable limitation consistent with acceptable area and bulk in
Aspen's neighborhoods, and
WHEREAS, in the absence of any information or testimony show-
ing the existing 1:1 floor area ratio in the R-MF zone district to
be inappropriate, the Planning and zoning Commission did determine
that the 1:1 ratio for multi-family structures is not excessive
but is 9n appropriate limitation, and
,.
WHEREAS, no open space requirement exists in the R-MF zone
district, the Planning and Zoning Commission did determine that
existing setbacks have been shown to be insufficient in limiting
lot coverage for multi-family structures in the R-MF zone district

and did recommend an open space requirement in order to restrict
the possibility of setback to setback residential development for
multi-family structures, and
WHEREAS, the existing height limitation is 28 feet in the
R-MF zone district and 25 feet in the R-6, R-15, R-30 and R-40
zone districts, and
WHEREAS, since the Planning and Zoning Commission did find
that it is appropriate to have a uniform height restriction
throughout all residential zone districts, the Commission did,
therefore, recommend the height restriction in the R-MF district

be reduced from 28 to 25 feet, and
WHEREAS, the Planning Office did further recommend and the
Planning and Zoning Commission did consider various additional
changes to the zoning regulations to clarify the definition of
continuous open space, basement and subgrade, and to clarify the
methodology for measuring floor area, and
WHEREAS, at the conclusion of the December 15, 1981, meeting
the Planning and Zoning Commission did elect to sponsor changes to
the Aspen zoning regulations for the purposes of imposing allow-
able floor areas on all single-family and duplex construction in
all R-6, R-15, R-30, R-40 and R-MF zones in the City of Aspen, and
WHEREAS, the Planning and Zoning Commission did adopt Resolu-
tion No. 81-18, Series of 1981, on December 22, 1981, recommending
such changes and establishing such allowable floor areas, and
,
WHEREAS, the City Council did hold an\ informal work session
on January 25, 1982, in order to consider various area and bulk
control approaches initially presented to the Planning and Zoning
Commission including the "sliding scale" approach, and
WHEREAS, the City Council did on March 1, 1982, tour the
fi fty-three (53) single-family and duplex' structures toured by the
Planning and Zoning Commission in order to evaluate the applica-
bility of various limitations and afterwards did hold a study

sion at a regularly scheduled Council meeting on March 22, 1982,
and did elect to establish more permissive limitations than those

(1) In measuring floor area for the purpose of calcu-
lating floor area ratio and allowable floor area,
there shall be included that area within the sur-
rounding exterior walls (measured from their ex-
terior surface) of a building or portion thereof,
exclusive of vent shafts and courts. The width of
the exterior walls greater than 6" may be sub-
tracted from the floor area if the additional width
of the wall is used specifically for energy conser-
vation purposes as determined by the Building
Department. The calculation of floor area of a
building or a portion thereof shall include above
grade decks, stairways, balconies and any area
under a horizontal projection of a roof or balcony
even though those areas are not surrounded by ex-
terior walls, when such areas are necessary for the
function of the building.
)
For the purpose of calcul~ting floor area ratio and
allowable floor area, above grade decks and balcon-
ies shall be considered necessary for the function
of a building if used for required access, if the
principal use of the building is non-residential.
Above grade decks and balconies constructed in con-
junction with a building or portion thereof whose
principal use is residential shall not be con-
sidered necessary for the function of the building
provided, however, the area of such features is
less than or equal to fifteen (15) percent of the
maximum allowable floor area. All area included in
a balcony or above grade deck which is greater than
fifteen (15) percent of the building's maximum
allowable floor area shall be included as part of
the floor area calculation.

For the purpose of calcUlating floor area ratio and
allowable floor area for a building or portion
thereof whose principal use is residential, garages
and carports shall be excluded up to a maximum area
of six hundred (600) square feet per dwelling unit;
all garage or carport space in excess of six hun-
dred (600) square feet per dwelling unit shall be
included as part of the residential floor area cal-
culation.

(3) For the purpose of calculating floor area ratio and
allowable floor area, parking areas and those sub-
grade and subbasement areas not in conformance
with the minimum requirements for natural light,
ventilation, and emergency exit for the applicable
occupancy group shall be excluded from floor area
calculations in all zone districts. Basement areas
and those subgrade and subbasement areas meeting
the minimum requirements for natural light, venti-

in floor area calculations.
(4) Areas dedicated to mechanical operation of build-
ings shall be excluded from floor area calculations
in all districts. In CC and C-1 zone districts
covered utility/trash areas shall be excluded from
floor area calculation.
(5) For Planned Unit Development applications in the
R-6, R-1s, R-30, R-40 and R-MF zone districts, the
allowable floor area shall be calculated by deter-
mining the square footage of the entire land owner-
ship, excluding existing rights-of-way and ease-
ments, and dividing by the total number of dwelling
units existing and proposed for development. The
resulting square footage of land shall be used to
determine the overall average of allowable floor
area according to the provisions of 24-3.4 and 24-
3.7(d). In areas designated mandatory Planned Unit
Development of the Zoning District Map, except for
previously subdivided lots of record, the square
footage of the entire land ownership shall first be
reduced according to the provisions of Section 24-
8.18 of the Zoning Code. The reduced square foot-
age of land shall then be divided by the total num-
ber of dwelling units existing and proposed for
development and the resulting square footage of
land shall be used to determine the overall average
of allowable floor area for the entire development
as provided for in this Section 24-3.7(d)(3)."

Dear Sirs,
We have examined the records of Pitkin County, Colorado as they ,pertain, to:
That part of Lot F, Block 47, in and to the City and Townsite of Aspen,
described as follows: Beginning at the Northeast corner of said Lot F;
thence Southerly along the Easterly line of said Lot, 46.5 feet to a point
25 feet Northeasterly from and at right angles to the centerline of the
former Colorado Midland Railroad Company's right of way; thence Northwesterly,
along a line 25 feet distant from and parallel with said railroad right
of way, to a point on the Westerly line of said Lot F; thence Northerly,
along the Westerly line of said Lot, 27 feet, more or less, to the Northwest
corner thereof; thence Easterly 30 feet to the point of beginning.
County of Pitkin, State of Colorado.
We find title to said description was created by Decree of District Court
recorded April 13, 1964 in book 206 at page 452 as Reception No. 117488
and that part of Lot F., Block 47 was a lot or parcel of Record as of April
13, 1964. No split or division of said lots, other than passage of title,
has occured subsequent to that date.

RE: Rafael Application to Board of Variance
Dear Sir:
Please be advised that I appeared on behalf of the Shaw Estate
at the above noted hearing on January 20, 1983.
Some time prior to the hearing Mr. Rafael had approached me in
regard to acquiring additional land from the Shaw parcel in
question. At that time I advised him that there were subdivision
problems surrounding this and other Shaw properties, that Holland
& Hart had been working for some time on this and other parcels
and that at the time of Mr. Rafael's inquiries the Shaw Estate
could not alienate any part of Lot F.
Yours very truly,

Re: Rafael Variance
Lot F, Block 47
Dear Board Members,
To determine both a reasonable floor area (A.F.A.) for a two bedroom
single family residence, as permitted by law and to graphically
indicate that no distinctions in resulting visual (architectural massing)
impact exist, I am submitting two sets of floor plans for your review:
Scheme 1 shows a three level residence which, in floor area..
complies with the existing allowable floor area of 882 sq. ft.
Scheme 2 shows a similar three level residence of 1100 square feet
which represents the maximum floor area that can be utilized
within the zoning envelope established by yard and height
limitations.
Both schemes utilize the majority of the available ground level area
required off street parking (enclosed two car garage) with the
remaining space for a south facing entry and stairs to the upper
living levels.
The primary distinctions in the two floor plans are the size and
functional utility of the individual living spaces. Our request for
variance is based on seeking the agreement of the Board of Adjustment
that scheme 1 (882 sq. ft.) creates spaces unnecessarily small and
disfunctional, that there is no distinction in architectural massing that

of an existing floor area formula never intended for a nonconforming
lot of this uniquely small area.
We respectfully request variance to permit an allowable floor area of 1100
sq. ft. (an A.F.A. increase of 218 sq. ft.) and ask that the Board
consider, because of the related two part nature of the variances,
initiating the twelve month limitation of variance on 24 February. Thank
you.

ience and answer any questions you might have regarding

Re: Northerly portion of Lot F, Block 47..
City and Township of Aspen
Dear Board Members:
Thank you for taking the time to conclude the first element of our
variance request regarding yard setbacks on the above referenced
lot. Your determination was equitable and benefited from a great
deal of good input and dialogue.
The second element of our request concerning A.F.A. was tabled,
subject to more definitive architectural documentation, until 10
February.
Upon returning to my office, I found that 10 February was in con-
flict with a previous commitment. Because the hearing and the
interests of my client will rely strongly on my architecturally oriented
presentation, I request that our hearing be rescheduled until the
Board next regularly convenes. I would appreciate written notifica-
tion of the rescheduled hearing.
Additionally, I respectfully request that the Board consider allowing
the one year statute of limitations of variance not commence until a
determination is made on the second portion of the variance. Thank
you.
Very truly yours,
LY:sd
