TO: BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT, CITY OF ASPEN
RE: GAARD MOSES APPLICATION FOR VARIANCE
FRO:M SETBACK REQUIREMENTS
DATE: 12 April, 1980
Dear Board Members:
this application is for a variance from the strict interpreta-
tion of the setback requirements in the Conservation Zone as
41ictated in Secti_on 24-3-.4. When Gaard r10ses bo~ght the subj ect
~ne acre of land and improvements (some of which were originally
*ining structures) in 1974, it was conforming and zoned R-15.
fhat area 0 f Eas.t Aspenl.~untain abOV. e the Gant tennis courts
as subsequently rezoned Conservation (10 acres minimum lot
ize, 100 foot f'ront setback, etc.) without a genuine effort
~y the City to notify Gaard of the rezoning or its irnp~ications.
Xn fact, it is the only house in Aspen in the Conservation Zone.
Because of the s.ize and shape of the lot, and its natural topo-
9raphy, the requ.irernents of the "en zone effectively elimInate
the possibility of any structure on said property. These
circumstances, most certainly, are valid reasons for granting a
variance, as defined in Section 2-22 (d) (1) through (4).
As mentioned ear1ier, parts of the site improvements date back
to Aspen's earliest mining days. However, in 1955, the then
owner, Chuck Bo1te,elaborated on the original .struct~re to
create a truly b~zarre two-bedroom house, which is all at once
unsafe, no,t waterproof, structurally unsound, dangerous in too
many respects, anid so far from conforming wi th any zoning or
building codes that this architect.has bashed his head against
the ceiling several times and hesitates to even enter the house.
The plans prepared and submitted to the building departm~nt for
the repairs and new construction show a reduction to a one bed-
toom house, whi.ch is slightly larger, but in all respects in
conformance wi th .all current - local and national building codes;
and retains as much of the original 1880's construction as is
possible. Presently, it is one of all too many non-conforming
substandard dan.gerous II slum" ~tructures in Aspen, which w.e hope

vide any assistance and additional information to any Board

property. Please call 925-9222 to make arrangements.
We appreciate your consideration of this application for a
variance from setback requirements and a variance from "non-
corforming status. II Because of its unique situation in this

delsire to upgrade an individual's own home, we feel your con-

Case No. 80-6
Gaard Moses
800 Aspen Alps Dr.
Fred Smith read the variance request: "Application is made
for a building permit to build an addition to an existing
single family dwelling. The proposed addition will have
a front yard setback less than the 100 feet required setbac~
and will have a side yard setback less than the 30 feet re-
quired. Section 24-3.4 "c" Conservation Zoning District."
The request is permanent.
Gaard Moses was present and also being represented by
,architect Welton Anderson.
Gaard gave historical background information and presented
photos of the property in question. .He stated that the
history of the property was important; it dates back to the
early mining days of Aspen and was originally an 1883 min-
ing claim. The house in question was built by Chuck Bolte
in 1955. Gaard purchased the house from Jim Blanningoin
1974. Gaard said that during the succeeding two years,
there was a continual court battle between the City, Pitkin
County and himself as to clear title of the property. He
said he did obtain clear.title after deeding 1.3 acres of
greenspace to Pitkin County. At the same time, the pro-
perty was down-zoned from R-15 to "c" Conservation Zone.
He stated that the house is currently without many social,
aesthetic, or safety amenities. The building materials
used and construction itself are impractical, unsafe, and
even rotting. Welton Anderson had submitted a letter veri-
fying the condition of the house. However, Gaard said he
was living in it.
Gaard said that because it' is in the "Cn Conservation Zone~,
he is asking for a variance from the 100 foot setback
requirement (including the 30 foot sideyard setback) so as
to update and bring up to current safety standards. Down-
zoning it to a one-bedroom (currently two), and expanding
it to practical "useableness" of 400 square feet are his
basic plans. He would also like a variance from its non-
conforming status so as not to incur anymore hardship or
practical difficulties on the proje6t at present and in
the future. He presented the Board with working drawings
of the changes he wanted to make.
Gaard said that the hardship was due to the 100 foot set-
back requirement in the "e" Conservation Zone; that he
could not build anything except on a 45 degree stone ledge
which is behind the house. The house is approximately
70 feet from the front pr9perty line. He stated that the
practical difficulty was that he owned the only two houses
in Aspen that are in the "c" Conser'vation Zone. All the
other C-Zone lands are either vacant or ski slope.
-2-
Fred as~ed Gaard if he had appeared at the rezoning meet-
ing which created the "C" Conservation Zones. Gaard said
that he was in litigation for a number of months with the
County as to who owned the property, and that eventually,
through trading, it was settled to the title company's
satisfaction that Gaard owned the property. Continuing,
.he stated, "I assume that they didn't know that the resi-
dences existed or they assume that they (the County) were
the owners, and could do with them a~ they pl~ased." The
"C" Conservation Zones were created-about the spring of '74.
Charles Paterson. asked again, "They didn't notify you in
writing or otherwise about a hearing (for rezoning)?"
Gaard - "No, not myself, nor Jim Blanning, nor any~me else."
Questions were then asked about the second lot structure on
the property...Fred asked when it was built. Gaard said
that the "foundation has always been there..." Marilyn Beer
asked if there was anyone living in the second house.
Gaard said yes. Fred asked if the accessor's records in-
dicated two houses on the property. Gaard said yes, and
presented photos as evidence.
Fred asked why Gaard needed a variance if he was not de-
creasing his setbacks?
Clayton Meyring, City building inspector, said that it
was non-conforming as far as setback requirements and that
anything built on it must rneetthe requirements.
Ron Stock continued by explaining that the property. was
non-conforming in two respects: first ,. it was non-conform-
ing as to use because there are two units on a piece of
property on about one acre of'land. In the "C" Conservation
Zone only one house is allowed on 10 acres and if you have
a non-conforming site it limits you to have a single f~mily
dwelling. This has two single family houses and is there-
fore non-conforming as far as use. There cannot be any
reconstruction or expansion. As a non-conforming structure,
if it is remodeled, or restructured it must be within the
setback requirements.
Fred Smith asked what the City's or Planning Office posit-
ion was. Sunny Vann, representing the Planning Office said
again that it was a non-conforming lot because it has two
single family structures and the requirements are for just
one. Therefore, he (Gaard) would not be allowed to expand
or reconstruct according to the Municipal Code. "That
alone should be enough to deny the application itself," in-
dicated Sunny. He continued by stating that remodeling
can be done within the existing footprints of the building.
Therefore, Gaard has an opportunity to remedy some of the
structural/safety problems as long as he doesn't expand intc
the setbacks.
Dates of events were clarified: Gaard purchased the pro-
perty in 1974; the 80/40 Greenline was established in 1974;
and the "e" Conservation Zone was established in 1975. .
According to Gaard, he began remodeling his building shortly
after purchasing the property - "probably within a month
or two." Clayton said that the remodeling was done without
a building permit. A stop work order was issued a couple
of years ago for the remodeling (Clayton was unsure of 'the
exact date of this).

RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
"
As en Board of Adjustment
May 8, 1980
Ron Stock clarified some of the events leading up to the
issuance of the Esstoppel. · He stat~d that the process" .of
litigation had been started to require that the structure
be removed; a possible settlement was reached. The case
went before P & Z for the80/40..:...Greenline review to. see if
they would accept the settlement. P & Z.would not only
accept the settlement, .but would allow h~rn to complete
his full project.. We (the City) were asking that the sec-
ond story be removed, or at least a good portion of it. It
went before City Council with the recommendation that a
good portion of the structure be removed. City Coundil
made the decision to allow Gaard to build the entire struc-
ture. This was the original, log structure now before
this Board.
Francis .Whitaker then made the comment that the Board
should have written record of what the property has been
through before they make any decisions. Many things have
been said without the record to confirm them; i.e. meetings
of last year with City Council and .p & Z..
Ron itemized what the Board needed to review and judge
this case: 1) rezoning information, 2) aerial photos to
show historical development, 3) 80/40 Greenline decision
of last summer ('79), 4) City Council action of last
summer ('79).
Ron said that there had been no mention of setbacks when
the property went through 80/40 Greenline review and
City Council; there had been no mention of it until this
variance had been requested.
Various question arose from the Board: Fred asked, "Why
are there two structures on land zoned for only one struc-
ture on 10 acres of land?" Ron stated that the photo
history was not very conclusive, but that aerial surveys
were kept in the Engineering office. They show size and
footprints of various structures in the City at various
times. Fred then asked, "If there.is a building - which is
unoccupied - what is required to convert it to a residence?
Also he asked, "Do you think there are two Certificates of
Occupancy, or one that is a mining era continuing residenCE
and the other a Certificate of Occupancy issued by City
Council?" Clayton said that there was only one CertificatE
of Occupancy; the other house he was not sure.
Ron then mentioned that there were actually three structure
Gaard said that the third structure is liriked to the log
house (the one involved in the varian~e request).
Ron continued stating that the third structure (garage witt
a studio above) is what was in con"tention last summer with
P & Z and City Council. Fred request~d -.that the minutes
of that City Council meeting in 1979 be available for the
Board to review. .
Marilyn commented that according to the date on the plans
submitted to the Board (November 22., 1979 - date of plans) ~
and the approximate date of the City Counci~'s approval...
these were not the plans submitted to. the Council when
they granted permission for continuing the project. ~
Fred asked if they had the current survey? Gaard said,
"I think both of those are correct, the survey you see is
a stamped and proven survey." Francis said that one of the
surveys was dated June 14, 1979.

Gaard.tben said, ttI was told to submit plans for this part,
this part was not in contention at that time (he referred
to the surveys). I had to step pretty qu~ckly; Welton
had to step quickly too, to get t~9se plarls done. At
that time, and before I went into"Council, .r was told by
a member of the Building Department that what I should do
is have all the plans together and do the whole thing as
a packet. Well, time didn't p~rmit and time ran out.
Shortly thereafter, I left the country. When I got back,
the plans were done. I think the original plans were done
in September . It .
Ron said that it was not known why City Council granted the
approval; it was over the objection of the City staff. The
staff was asking that there be criminal prosecution for
construction without a building permit. The structure al-
ready had the building envelope and all that was left was
the interior finish work by the time it reached City ~!
Council. He suggested a few reasons. that it was granted:
because of Gaard's good reputation among the Council, per-
haps because the penalty being asked was too great or that
,it would cost too much. The decision frustrated the staff.
Fred opened the discussion to the public. Jerry Hewey, man-
ager of the Aspen Alps Condominium Association, first asked
about the notification process of surrounding property own-
ers in the case of the City Council's review of the case.
This was clarified by Ron. Then Mr. Hewey said that he
had thought that the newer structure (the studio/garage)
was not going to be a residence.
Gaard said that he was using it as a studio/garage and
living in it. Because City Council passed a home occupa-
tion use" this meant that the structure must be joined to
and have access to the main house. The studio/garage is
part of the house subject to the variance.
Mr. Hewey said he also had an interest in the case because
of the road leading to the house. It is owned by Mr.
Mitchell and Mr. Bornefeld (sp?). The Aspen Alsps and
Mr. Moses have easement rights to use the road; this based
on a single family residence so that it doesn't become too
congested.
Fred as Mr. Hewey, "You thought there was one house and a
studio? But there is, in face, two houses and a studio
connected to one of the houses." Gaard answered yes, there
are two houses, one of which incorporates a studio.
Concerning the road, Gaard stated that he also has access
by way of a back road which is an old railroad right-of-
way. It was not determined who owns the road because it
goes through many different properties~
Francis wanted to postpone the case to a date certain.
Charles Paterson made the motion to'postpone the case near-
ing until June 26, 1980. Motion was seconded by Francis
who added that all information from the City be included.
Marilyn asked that Gaard also prepare a written history.
All members in favor; motion to table the case to a later
date carried.
Acting Chairman Smith read the variance request: To divide
nine (9) City lots into two parcels: a two (2) lot parcel
and a seven (7) lot parcel. . The two lot parcel would have
the fol.lowing non-conformaties:

OLD BUSINE~S. _
Case No. 8~-6
Gaard Mose
Aspen Alps Drive
Gaard Moses stated that one of the problems concern-
ing his case was ,that the Board wasnted a more con-
cise history on the buildings in question.. He said
he went back as far 'as 1957 to the tax records which
he quoted from and described. He thought there were
questions as to what the improvements were and when
they were made." Moses' said he bought the property
in 1974. and at that time it was in the County and
was to remain there for another year. He then pre-
sented a handwritten note from Jim Blanning which
confirmed two habitations from 1970 to 1974. He als
had a statement from Warren Conner, Deputy County
Assessor. Moses stated he believed that one of the
. questions involved stemmed from the fact he was in
the C conservation zone and not R-15 which was the
zoning before he was placed in C. He was downzoned
in 1975 when his property was annexed to the City.
He thought he was 'before the Board at this meeting
because of the setbacks required in the C conser-
vation zone. Moses then presented a note from Bill
Kane, Aspen/Pitkin County Director of Palnning.
Another statement from Kane said the North of Nell
building was also zoned C conservation but the owner
complained and it was upgraded to what it is now -
SPA. Moses also presented photographs of where the
second kitchen had been when, the site was inspected.
He said" Clayton Meyring had been there the day of
the meeting to take a look at the .site of the photo-
graphs. Chairman Lavagnino said h~ would like COpiE
of the pictures to remain a part of the record.
At this point, the tape went blank. Discuesed was
Moses past building venture$, such as when he built
on without having been issued a building permit.
Alhtough several members of the Board could see whel
there was hardship.and practical difficulty, they
did not think the app.lication should be granted.
Moses decided to withdraw his ~pplication and there
was discussion as to whether this was allowed. Ron
. Stock ,said it was allowable,' but Moses changed Ilis
mind. Francis Whitaker made a motion to deny Moses
his application; Charles Patterson seconded th~
motion. All in favor; application denied. ·

May 10, 1980
From Assessment information in the Pitkin
County Assessors office and from my own personal
knowledge as Deputy County Assessor, I will state
that there were two separate residences on what
is now known as the Gaard Moses property, situate
on a portion of the Little Nell Mining Claim,
U.S.M.S. # 1830, R.F. Mining District also known
as 800 Aspen Alps Drive, since the January 1, 1975
assessment.
Those structures which were in place at that
time, even though one has been added to, are both
~n place at this date.

MOBILE HOMS PARK REGULATIONS
.Mobile h\::xre par}~
requlations
Stock submitted to Council the current mobile home code and state health standards, which
are minirnurll standards.. Th(~~:;e unless the Cit:y' s Code is rriore restrictive; in most
cases the City's Code is not more restrictive. Stock told Council the County has hired
a =onsultant to help them write a mobile home code, which was also submitted to Council.
Stock reque~ted authority to prepare a dOCllment modeled on the County proposal to be brough.
back for co~sideration. Mayor Edel said he found the County ordinance terribly restrictive
Jolene Vrcllota, planning office, told Council there are three sets of regulations for
park OWTlers. The first set of standards is to be met in the first year,"and these are the
least rest.rictive. 'rhe second set is to be met \vithin 5 years to bring them slightly
above minimum health and safety standards, and does include some aesthetic standards.
The third set of standards, which includes the dellsity of 4 units per acra, is strictly
for expansion and new mobile home parks.
Councilman Isaac moved to have Stock draft an ordinance and come back to touncil with it;
seconded by Councilman Parry. All in favor, motion carried.
GAARD HOSES SETTLE~1ENT
C7Ciard Hoses
settlc~nt
Stock explained the situation in his memorandum. The house is just east of the Aspen Alps.
The property currently has two single family dwellings and a pump house, it is in the
conservation district. The property is one acre in size, and under zoning it would allow
for one single family house. This property is considered ~o be a non-conforming use, and
consider the two units to be legal. He could not currently build them now.
Stock told Council Moses began construction of an addition in 1977, which is a garage in
lower level, and second level an art studio. Moses did this without getting a building
perlnit and without obtaining 8040 greenlinereview. The building inspector put a stop
work order on the property; Moses has been working with the City on how to solve this
problem. Stock said he would recommend the ripping down of the structure, if he had gone
to Court. The negotiated settlement is to obtain 8040 greenline review; which Moses has
Obtained from P & z~ Secondly, to obtain building permits at double rates. Third, the
City's Code would not allow a home occupation to have a total area greater than 1/2 of the
first floor area of the principle dwelling. .
Stock told Council the area for the home occupation is too great by almost 1/3. Stock has
asked that Moses be required to rip out that 1/3. Moses presented an alternative to P & Z
of changing that area into employee housj.ng. Stock objected because if you have the
right to 1 unit and go to 3, it would require rezoning. Stock said another alternative
would be a cas!) payment of some type. Stock stated he would rather have some portion of
the structure remo,,:"cd to meet with Code requirements.
Moses outlined the three points: (1) removal; (2) retain approximately 400 feet, which
would be ripped out, and put employee housing into it, and (3) because the house has been
expanded at le~st twice before 1973, in'the interest of simplification, let the lower
level of the new structure become part of the house and contribute to FAR of the house.
It would be larger than twice the area or the art studio then.
Stock said what he felt was important in his solution is not so Inuch whether he rips dOvln
the structure, but to create a~ indication to the public that they cannot avoid the City's
rules and regulations, that they will be enforced. The City has got to become more
restrictive in their enforcenlent. Stock said he was totally against trying to obtain
rezoning to allow a density of three u~its. Councilman Parry said he felt it would be
better to inciease the projecti.on room and let the other part remain the way it is.
Councilman Parry said he could not see tearing down the structure. Councilwoman Michael
stated this is a case of how important the Council feels their rules are. There was a
reason to set 8040 greenline against the .ffiountai.n, and to have reviews for building.
Courlcilman Isaac agreed heeid not feel Moses' house was an appropriate place to put
employee housing. Councilman Isaac said he felt Moses should pay double building permit
fees and make the correct.ions in the projection room so that the FAR complies with home
occupation. Councilman Collins stated he would be inclined to follow the re~ommendations
of the City Attorney.
r.1ayor Edel said he couldn't see the house being ripped down; it is nicely done. Mayor Edel
said he would like to get Moses go after rezoning. Mayor Edel said although he would
not like to have Moses rip down 1/3 of his house there are laws and statutes. Stock
suggested the alternative of Moses accepting crinlinal charges and allowing the Court to
impose the penalty. Councilwoman Michael said the Council is abrogating theirresponsibilj
by sending Moses to Court. Councilman Parry noted this has gone on for two years. He
would like Moses to be right as far as the building permit.
Councilman Parry moved to let the lower level become part of the house so that the FAR is
right I . and ~10ses pay double building permits; seconded by Council:man Isaac. Councilmerllber~
Parry, Isaac, and Mayor Edelin favor; Councilmembers Michael and Collins opposed. Motion
carried.
ORDINANCE #41, SERIES OF 1979 - Cable Television Theft
Ord. 41, 1979
Cable TV theft
Stock told Council there is a provision in the Code currently that says it is iilegal
to steal cable television, and the City has been a~ked on numerous occasions to enforce
that ordinance. The City has no way to enforce the ordinance. The ordinance has been
redrafted making it clear this is a theft. If a person has illegal cable, Canyon Cable
will photo it, disconnect it and leave a note telling the people they are not paying for
cable. They will reinspect in two weeks; if it has been reconnected, Canyon Cable can
come in and sign a complaint and take the people to Court. Councilman Is~ac asked why
the City should get involved. Stock told Council this is not an unusual request from
cable corrtpanies..
Councilwoman Michael moved to read Ordinance #41, Series of 1979; seconded by Councilman
Parry. All in favor, motion carried.

BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT, CITY OF ASPEN
GAARD MOSES APPLICATION FOR VARIANCE
FROM SETBACK REQUIREMENTS
12 April, 1980
ar Board Members:
is application is for a variance from the strict interpreta-
tion of the setback requirements in the Conservation Zone as
dictated in Section 24-3.4. When Gaard Moses bought the subject
one acre of land and improvements (some of which were originally
ining structures) in 1974, it was conforming and zoned R-15.
hat area of East Aspen r~ountain above the Gant tennis courts
as subsequently rezoned Conservation (10 acres minimum lot
ize, 100 foot front setback, etc.) without a genuine effort
y the City to notify Gaard of the rezoning or its implications.
n fact, it is the only house in Aspen in the Conservation Zone.
ecause of the size and shape of the lot, and its natural topo-
raphy, the requirements of the "c" zone effectively eliminate
he possibility of any structure on said property. These
ircumstances, most certainly, are valid reasons for granting a
ariance, as defined in Section 2-22 (d) (1) through (4).
s mentioned earlier, parts of the site improvements date back
o Aspen's earliest mining days. However, in 1955, the then
wner, Chuck Bolte, elaborated on the original structure to
reate a truly bizarre two-bedroom house, which is all at once
nsafe, not waterproof, structurally unsound, dangerous in too
any respects, and so far from conforming with any zoning or
ui1ding codes that this architect has bashed his head against
he ceiling several times and hesitates to even enter the house.
ep1ans prepared and submitted to the building department for
he repairs and new construction show a reduction to a one bed-
.oom house, which is slightly larger, but in all respects in
onformance with all current local and national building codes;
nd retains as much of the original 1880's construction as is
ossib1e. Presently, it is one of all too many non-conforming
ubstandard dangerous "slum" structures in Aspen, which we hope

v de any assistance and additional information to any Board

p operty. Please call 925-9222 to make arrangements.

I
Wi appreciate your consideration of this application for a
v riance from setback requirements and a variance from "non-
c nforming status." Because of its unique situation in this
ztne (primarily Ski Corporation and mining land), and the
dsire to upgrade an individual's own home, we feel your con-
s deration can only be helpful.

Grice introduced the application. The applicatioIl requests
subdivisiol1 exemption for tIle condorniniunlization of all
existing duplex owned by Billy Dittmar which is located in
the Pitkib Mesa Subdivision. Dave Ellis noted a problem
.with the legal description. Ron Stock recommended approval

the existing tenants the right to notice if the unit is
offered for sale and granting to the tenants a 90 day option
to purchase as well as a 90 day exclusive right of first

Speci.a.l l{evie\~l
Reents introduced the application. This application is a
speci.al revim'l for parking reduction in the "0" office zone
The proposed structure totals 9100 square feet on a12#00Q
square foot lot at Bleeker and Mill. The current Code
requires three parking spaces per 1000 square feet of
C0111nlercial area vIi th a reduction. by special. review tel a
minimum of 1. 5 spaces per 1000 square feet. The applicant
is requesting a reduction in parking to 15 spaces which is
one space over the 1.5 to 1000 ratio. The Planning Office
~-ecoEunends apprcj\Tcl1.
Jeffrey Sachs .noted that if this is denied they will have t
use the alley which he did not feel was the City's first
clloi.ce.
A man from the audience who owns the property next. door
noted that the parking in the neighborhood is very bad~
He said he often gets parked into his driveway although he
has agreements with the dairyman. S~chs noted that this
will add 15 spaces for th.e employees and the customers can
park at the Rio Grande.
The Board disc~ussed their concer."!1S with th.c parki-Ilgand
circulation problems in that area and the possible increasE
inlpc1.cts of tJ1E.~ 'I1ruen12tJ1 Ce11ter and.i ts new uses.
Anderson moved to approve the special review .for reductio~
in parking from 27 spaces required to 15 spaces required
because of the physical restraints of the site, the locati<
and proximity to parking~ McDonnell seconded. All in favol

,Special Rev'iew
Reents introduced the application. This application is a
special revievl for parking reduction in the "0" office zone,
'I'he proposed structure tot.als 9100 square feet on a 12, OOQ
square foot lot at Bleeker and Mill. The current Code .
requires three parking spaces per 1000 square feet of
co~nercial area with a reduction by special review to a '
minimum of 1.5 spaces per 1000 square feet. The applicant
is requesting a reduction in parking to 15 spaces which is
one space over the 1.5 to lOOn ratio. The Planning Office
reco~nends approval.
Jeffrey Sachs noted that if this is denied they will have tl
use tIle alley vlhich lle did not feel was the Ci ty' s first
choice.
A man from the audience who owns the property next door
noted that the parking in the neighborhood.is very bad~
He said he often gets parked into his driveway although he
has agreements with the dairyman. Sachs noted that this
will add 15 spaces for the employees arid the customers can
park at the Rio Grande.
The Board discussed their concerns with the parking and"
circulation problems in that area and the possible increase
impacts of the Trueman Center and its new uses.
Anderson moved to approve the special review for reduction
in parking from 27 spaces required to 15 spaces required
because of the physical restraints of the site, the locatic
and proximity to parking, McDonnell seconded. All in favor

MOBILE HOME PARK m~GUI~_TIONS
-_.~------,~---
Stock submitted to Council th0 current mobile home code and state health standards, which
are minimum standards. These a?ply unless the City's Code is more restrictive; in most
cases the City's Code is not more restrictive. Stock tol.d Council the County has hired
a consultant to help them write a mobile hO~le code, which was also submitted to Council.
Stock requested authority to pY"epare a document modeled on the County proposal to be brougt
back for consideration. rvlayor r:ciel s2..i.c1 hQ found the County ordinance' terribly restrictivE
Jolene Vrchotal planning office, told Counci.l there are three sets of regulations for
park owners. The first set of standards is to be met ~n the first year, and these are the
least restrictive. The second set is to be met within 5 years to bring them slightly
aboveminimurn health and safety standards, and does incl.ude some aesthetic standards.
The third set of standards, Wllich includes the density of 4 units per acre, is strictly
for expa~sion and new mobile home parks.
Councilman Isaac moved to have Stock draft an ordinance and come back to Council with it;
seconded by Councilman Parry. All in favor, motion carried.
GA.l\~RD HOSES SETTLEHEN~e
Stock explained the situation ill his memorandum. The house is just east of the Aspen Alps.
The property currently has two single family dwellings and a pump house, it is in the
conservation district. The property is one acre in size, and under zoning it would allow
for one single family house. This property is considered to bea non-conforming use, and
consider the two units to be legal. He could not currently build them now.
Stock told Council Moses began construction of an addition in 1977, which is a garage in
lower level, and second level an art studio. Moses did this without getting a building
permit and without obtaining 8040 greenline review. The building inspector put a stop
work order on the property; Moses has been working with the City on how to solve this
problem.. Stock said he vJould recol1unend the ripping dOvJD of the structure, if he had gone
to Court. The negotiated settlement is to obtain 8040 greenline review; which Moses has
obtained from P & Z. Secondly, to obtain building permits at double rates. Third, the
City's Code would not allow a home occupation to have a total area greater than 1/2 of the
first floor area of the principle d~elling.
Stock told Council the area for the home occupation is too great by almost 1/3. Stock has
asked that Moses be required to rip out that 1/3. Moses presented an alternative to P & Z
of changing that area into employee housing. Stock objected because if you have the
right to ltinit and go to 3, it would require rezoning. Stock said another alternative
would b~ a cash payment of some type. Stock stated he would rather have some portion of
the structure removed to meet wi th Code requirt~nlent.s.
Moses outlined the three points; (I) removal; (2) retain approximately 400. feet, which
would be ripped out, and put employee housing into it, and(3)becau~e the house has been
expanded at least twice before 1973, in the interest of simplification, let the lower
level of the new st:ructure become part of the house and contribute to FAR'of the house.
It would be larger than twice the area of the art studio then.
Stock said what he felt was important in his solution is not so much whether he rips down
the structure, but to create an indication to the public that they cannot avoid the City's
rules and regulations, that they will be enforced. The City has got to become more
restricti~e in their enforcement. Stock said he was totally against trying to obtain
rezoning to allow a density of three units. Councilman Parry said he felt it would be
better to increase the projection room and let the other part remain the way it is.
Councilman Parry saia he could not see tearing down the structure. Councilwoman Michael
stated this is a case of how important the Council feels their rules are. There was a
reason to set 8040 greenline against the mountain, and to have reviews for building.
Councilman Isaac agreed he did not feel Moses'house was an appropriate place to put
employee housing. Councilman Isaac said he felt Moses should pay double building permit
fees and make the corrections in the projection rOOTIl so that the FAR complies with home
occupation. Councilman Collins stated he would be inclined to follow the recorrunendations
bf the City Attorney.
Mayor Edel said he couldn't see the house being ripped down; it is nicely done. Mayor Ede:
said he would like to get Moses go after rezoning. Mayor Edelsaid although he would
not like to have Moses rip down 1/3 of his house there are laws and statutes. Stock
suggested the alternative of Moses accepting criminal charges and allowing the Court to
irrlpose the penal ty. Council~"loman N.i.chael said the Council is abrogating their responsibil:
by sending Moses to Court. Councilman Parry noted this has gone on for two years. He
would like Moses to be right as far as the building permit.
Councilman Parry moved to let the lower level become part of the house so that the FAR is
right, and Moses pay double building permits; seconded by. Councilman Isaac. Councilmernber~
Parry, Isaac, and Mayor Edel in. favor; Councilmembers Michael and Collins opposed. Motion
carried.
ORDINANCE #41, SERIES OF 1979 - Cable Television Theft
Stock told Council tllere is a provision in the Code currently that says it is illegal
to steal cable television, an~ ~he City has been asked on numerous occasions to enforce
that ordinance. The City has nv' to enforce the ordin~nce. The ordinance has been
redr~fted making it clear this is a theft. If a person has illegal cable, Canyon Cable
will photo it, disconnect it and leave a note telling the people they a~e not paying for
cable. They will reinspect in t~0~eeks; if it has been reconnected, Canyon Cable can
come in and sign a complai.nt and take the people to Court. Councilman Isaac asked why
the City should get involved. Stock told Council this is not an unusual request from
cable companies,.

Parry. All in favor, mot: >'1" -lec;.

RE:
Moses Rezoning and Subdivision Exception
DATE: .

--------.---------------------------------------------------------.---
-----------------------------------------------------------------
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
APPLICANT: Gaard Moses.
LOCATION: Just to the southeast of the Aspen Alps and east of the
Silver Queen Gondola at the base of Aspen Mountain (please refer
to Attachment. 1).
ZONING: C-Conservation (See attachment 2).
SIZE: I acre (43,560 s.f.).
APPLICANT'S REQUEST: The applicant is requesting rezoning from
Conservation (C) to R-15 and a subdivision exception for the
purposes of creating two lots in accordance with Section 20-19(c)
of the Land Use Code.
SITE DESCRIPTION: Attachment 3 depicts the subject property on a
topographic map. We encourage you to carefully study the
topography of this area because it has a very significant bearing
upon our zoning recommendation.
The map shows that the Moses property is well above the 8040
Greenline elevation. There are two existing residential struc-
tures on the site which have been located in the ideal building
site from the public's perspective. The site is flat and is
located over 70' below the Little Nell ski slope to the west.
The building site also avoids the very steep grades to the west,
south, and east. This large elevation change between Little Nell
and the structures isolates the buildings. from the ski slope.
For years, until the gondola was constructed, few people in the
community even realized that the Moses property was developed.
with the construction of the gondola, the site has become visible
from the lift but remains relatively isolated from the ski
slopes.
The existing structure on the east side of the site is approx~~
mately 2,800 s.f. in size. The upstairs portion of the structure
is Gaard Moses' residence. The downstairs contains a studio
workshop including a kitchen and bathroom. Technically, the
..
1\
j. -.:
1
structure on the east side of the site is a duplex. The struc-
ture on the west side of the site contains 1,700 s.f. and is a
duplex.
SURROUNDING LAND USES: The Moses property is bounded by the
Little Nell Ski slope to the west (C zone), the Alps Condominiums
to the north (C zone), the Aspen Chance Subdivision to the east
(R-15 pun zone) and undeveloped ground to the south (C zone). A
spur of the 01(1 Midland railroad traverses the subject property.
The applicant permits the AspenjSnowmass Nordic Counci.l to cross
his property on a newly constructed t~ai] located above the
existing development.
As you well. know from our recent residential growth management
sub Dl i s s ion s, the are a a r 0 u n d Ute A v e n u e e as t. 0 f the go n dol a. i sin
transit.ion. "The barn", one of Aspen's funkiest old resident.ial
buildings, which was located just to the east of the Moses
property has been demolished and replaced by modern residences in
tIle Aspen Chance Subdivision. One single-fanlily house in the
Aspen Chance Subdivision is approximately 6,000 s.f. while a
smaller single-family unit is 3,065. s.f.. There is also a duplex
of approximately 5,450 s.f. in size. Proposed residential
structures in the 1010 and 1001 Subdivisions are expected to
range between 3,000 and 4,3000 s.f. in size.
PLANNING OFFICE COMMENTS
BACKGROUND: The history of the Moses property affects our zoning
recommendation. It was established and recognized by the Aspen
City Council in June of 1979 that the subject property contains
two legal, single-family, dwelling units. Based upon the staff's
review of existing City records, we have concluded that any
additional dwelling units which currently exist on the site
beyond two legal units are illegal. The applicant and his
representative have discussed the problem of the illegal dwelling
units with the staff. The applicant's goal is to legalize the
existing $tructures and make them conforming. Therefore, the
applicant has committed to remove a kitchen from each structure
and convert the buildings into single-family residences.
MASTER PLAN: Although the subject site is located just outside
the boundaries of the 1973 Aspen Land Use Plan, it is possible to
use the Plan as a guide for this parcel. The land use pattern
suggested by the Plan would indicate that the mixed-residential
dis t r ict is the mos t appropr ia te d is t r ic.t for the subj ect site.
The applicant's R-15 zoning request is consistent with this
district.
ZONING ISSUE: The st~ff has researched the process by which the
subject site came to be zoned C. Bill Kane, - former Aspen/Pitkin
Planning Office Planning Director, indicates in Attachment 4 that
C zoning was applied to lands at the base of Aspen Mountain which
2
ttwere generally considered of public interest." According to
Bill, it was not the City's intent to zone existing residential
developments C, but the district may have been applied to devel-
oped land containing residences which were not identified on the
land use inventory. A search of historic land use inventories
shows t.hat the Moses property was not identified as developed.
Given the isolation and vegetation of the site it does not
surprIse us that. the property was missed during the inventory.
The R-15 zoning request for the Moses property should be evalua-
ted based upon the criteria of Section 2~~12.5(d) of the Zoning
Code which are listed below:
1) Compatibility of the rezoning proposal with the
surrounding zone districts and land use in the vicinity
of the site, considering the ~xisting neighborhood
characteristics, the applicable area and bulk require-
ments, and the suitability of the site for developJnent
in terms of on-site characteristics.
2) Impacts of the rezoning upon expected traffic genera-
tion and road safety, availability of on and off-street
parking and ability to provide utility service in the
vicinity of the site, including an assessment of the
fis ca 1 i lnpac t upon the commun i t y 0 f t he propos ed
r'ezoning.
3) Impacts of the rezoning upon expected air and water
quality in the vicinity of the site.
4)
Analysis of the COlfiJnunity need
rezoning and an assessment of the
rezoning proposal to the goal
balance.
for the proposed
relationship of the
o f 0 v era 11 com 10 u nit y
5) Compatibility of the proposed rezoning with the Aspen
Area General Plan of 9166, as amended.
6) Whether the proposed rezoning will promote the health,
safety and general welfare of the residents and
visitors to the City of Aspen. ~
Each of the criteria are addressed below:
1) The applicants R-15 zoning request would be consistent
with the land uses and zo~ing to the east of the
subject site if a mandatory pun requirement is applied.
The PUD designation is essential because the designa-
tion requires- slope den_sity reduction calculations to
be made in the event that the applicant seeks to build
duplex structures.

At first glance, it may appear to be inconsistent with
the C zoning to the south and east to zone the Moses
property R-15 PUD. However, an understanding of the
topography as depicted on attachment 3 indicates that
there are unusual site characteristics which lead us to
believe that R-15 PUD is appropriate for this site
despite the adjacent C zoning and the 8060 elevation
elevation of the site.
Due to the visual isolation of the only building site
on tIle parcel, seventy feet b..elow the Little Nell
slope, the Moses site can be di:s"tinguished froRl other
lands in the C zone which are also east of Little Nell
but by contrast are generally at grade with the ski
slope and highly visible to the general public. In our
opinion, the recognized community goal of protecting
the mountainsides and skiing runs fronl (ievelopment
which was re-affirmed in the Little Nell SPA review is
not compromised by the Moses rezoning due to the
topography of the site. In fact, due to the topog~aphy
of this site and the transition of the south side of
Ute Avenue to a residential area, we believe as a
general rule, the Midland railroad spur line rather
than the 8040' Greenline might be better a dividing
line between the C zone and resid.ential districts for
properties to the east and out of sight froI" tittle
Nell.
2) If the applicant converts the two duplexes to single-
r a In i 1 y s t rue t u res , imp act son the r 0 ads y s t em \A.,' ill
probably be decreased as a result of this rezoning.
3) The rezoning should probably not affect air and water
quality.
4) The rezoning does not affect community balance.
5) As indicated in the proceeding Master Plan discussion,
the rezoning request is generally consistent with the
1973 Aspen Land Use Plan.
6) The rezoning of this property to conforming status will
most likely enhance the health, safety and welfare of
Aspen residents and visitors by creating a conforming
use capable of major renovations or demolition and
reconstruction.

approved single-family structures totaling 4,640 and 5,173 s.f.
could be built on each lot. Therefore, the applicants commitment
to restrict the potential square footage per house to 3,800 s.f.
is significant and also insures houses which are the same size or
smaller than existing and proposed housing sizes in the area.
This conlmitment can be insured througll the 8040 Greenline
process, to which any additions to the existing units must be
subject.
SUBDIVISION EXCEPTION REQUEST: Attachment 5 depicts the proposed
subdivision exception plat. Section 20-19(G) of the Code enables
the City Council to grant exceptions from the strict subdivision
requirements of Section 20 when it is determined that the strict
application of Section 20 would be redundant, unnecessary and
serve no public purpose. City Council., may request a recom-
mendation from the P&Z prior to approving the proposed subdivi-
sion exceptions. It is our opinion that tllis is a simple,
straight-forward application and a subdivision exception is an
appropriate request for this site. Further, we feel that Council
should have the benefit of a P&Z recommendation on this matter.
Jay Hammond, City Engineer has commented that the Moses property
is currently served with potable water from surface sources,
including a spring and the Durant Mine run-off through a Junior
water right. The Engineer comments that subdivision is a good
tinle to pr"ovide a connection to the City water line near the
Aspen Alps. Prior to consideration of the subdivision exception
by Council, Jay would like to review a proposal for the water
connection including routing, size and length of the water line
extension. Additionally, Jay Hammond requests the following to
be shown on ttlC subdivision exception plat prior to recording:
1) Topographic information;
2)
Drainage easements

adjacent Aspen Chance
3) ~ndividual parking spaces;
4) The dedication to the City of Aspen of a 15' wide year

Aspen, Colorado 81611
September 13, 1985
To Whom' It May Concern:
.""t:t
I'
r;have peen asked ~Gaard Moses to clarify the Aspen rezoning
process' !of 1975, based upon my best recollection. While I
.receive~requests like this from time to time, I do not normally
r:espond~ simply because my memory of individual land use
sttuations is not-usually relevant to current problems. However,
ih the case of Gaard's land at the base of Aspen Mountain, I do
remember, in general, the basis for the application of the .e.,
Conservation Zone~
Conservation zoning was applied to lands which were generally
considered of public interest to remain in an open space
condition. This included skiing and skier access to the base of
the mountain. Being a public, open space zone, we did not intend
this district to cover existing, residential development. It is
possible that th~ C zone was extended to areas on the base of
Aspen Mountain which contained residences which were not
identified in our land use ~nventory.
;' This letter is written to help clarify the zoning process which
took place at the time. I have not been retained by Gaard or his
attorney.
Sincerely,
Bill Kane
Former Aspen/Pitkin County
p~anningDirector
