Galena Street Aspen, CO 81611 Re: Edelweiss Lodge Dear Board Members: 1. Introduction. We represent the Edelweiss Partnership, the owner of the Edelweiss Lodge, which by this application seeks to vary the provisions of Section 24-3.2 of the Aspen City Code (dealing with permitted and conditional uses) in order to improve the lodge with a small family-type locally-oriented restaurant. The Edelweiss Lodge is situate on the corner of Hopkins and Aspen streets, Lots A, Band C, Block 75, City of Aspen. The property is zoned O-Office. As you know, among other things, restaurants are a conditional use in this zone, but " * * * only for structures which have received historic designation * * *." Since the Edelweiss Lodge has not received historical designation and, we have been given to understand by Colette Penne of the Planning Office who advises the HPC, the Lodge will not qualify for that designation, it is this limitation that the applicant seeks to have varied in this instance in order that it might have a conditional use application for a restaurant considered by the Planning and Zoning Commission. 2. Proposa 1 . If the Board of Adjustment grants a variance from the limitation requiring historical designation before conditional uses in the O-Office zone may be applied for, the applicant intends then to apply to the Planning and Zoning Commission for conditional use approval in order to renovate approximately 1200 square feet of the lodge to provide for (a) a restaurant of approximately 700 square feet; and (b) employee housing of approximately 500 square feet to be used by employees of this restaurant. The renovation will be consistent with applicable area and bulk requirements, will not increase the number of units or square feet presently associated with the lodge and will be done at an investment of less than fifty percent of the value of the structure to be renovated. See Section 24-13.10 of the City Code. In the course of renovation, the structure will be made significantly sounder from a health and safety standpoint ..-.. - , -' OATES, HUGHES & KNEZEVICH, P. C. City of Aspen Board of Adjustment September 19, 1981 Page Two in that fire insulation and flooring, plumbing and electrical systems will be substantially upgraded. 3. Reasons for Variance. The Edelweiss Partnership consists of Elizabeth M. Jones and Gebhard Long. It was recently formed when Mr. Long ac- quired from Ms. Jones a one-half interest in the lodge in the hope and expectation that Mr. Long, experienced in lodge management, might restore a competitive edge to the lodge which had been lost due to the inability from other demands upon her time of Ms. Jones meaningfully to maintain the lodge as an income producing property. Presently, the lodge is rather dilapidated and, due to size con- straints, not capable of being competitive with other lodges or being run at a scale to make it profitable. As you know, reno- vation under Section 24-13.10 cannot result in an increase to the square footage. The present square footage is, simply stated, im- practical and mere renovation (with this constraint) would not make the lodge any the more economically viable. The Planning Office has discouraged the applicant from seeking a rezoning of the property to a Lodge classification, which would allow for a restaurant, since it is presently in the midst of master planning for lodges and has also discouraged the applicant from abandoning the lodge use in favor of an office building, given the increasing need for small-lodge tourist accommodations. Installation of a restaurant has been considered by the applicant and the Planning Office as an interim solution in order that the property might be upgraded and generate income pending the Planning Office's comprehensive planning for lodges. Most importantly, we have been advised by the Planning Office that the restriction of restaurants as a conditional use in the O-Office zone to historically designated buildings was intended to curb the proliferation of restaurants on Main Street and was not intended to cover the Edelweiss Lodge situation. Where in a particular situation the rationale for a limitation gives way so too, we believe, should the limitation itself. Accompanying this letter is a listing of property owners within 300 feet of the Edelweiss Lodge. - - "",--.,/ -" OATES, HUGHES & KNEZEVICH, P. C.

We wish to plan. 1. register our opposition to this Because there is already inadequate parking in that area. During the day area residents cannot find street parking near their homes and a restaurant would continue this hardship into the evening hours. 2. The residential character of the neighb~~~od would be changed. While th'ere is presently business - the Mountain Forge - in the block it is a daytime business. A restaurant would add considerable commotion, noise and traffic to what is essentially a residential neighbor- hood. 3. We object to the smelly garbage and unsanitary conditions that seem to exsist around the back of most rest- aurants. ~~J~~~ Duane R. Johnson - Box 149, 20B E.
