Description of proposed exemption showing justification: The subject building was constructed in 1968 by the Aspen Center for Physics to provide facilities at the Center for accelerator design studies held by the National Accelerator Laboratory. The building has been used since 1970 for the regular physics-astrophysics program. It provides 2/3 of the office space available for this program. The physics-astrophysics program is of international importance, and is supported by the National Science Foundation and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. The program consists entirely of seminars, workshops, and informal research activities. Roughly 175 physicists and astrophysicists from 60-70 institutions participate in the program each summer, with 55-65 in residence at the Center at any time. The building was constructed with the understanding that it was not in keeping with the overall architectural style of the Aspen Institute, and that its.present location was to be considered as temporary. (The building was orginally built as a temporary structure, but has since been insulated, heated, and landscaped, and is adequate for office space for the summer program.) Since the present location of the building is not in conformance with the master plan of the Aspen Institute, it is proposed to move it to the new location indicated on the attached plan. If repositioning is permitted, the building will be placed on a concrete block foundation, and the surrounding area will be landscaped. Ingress and egress will be to the north. No on-street parking will be necessary to serve the building. The present off-street parking area for the Center will be expanded westward as required. Future usage of the building at the new location will be confined to seminar and workshop programs of the type now conducted at the Center. Retention of this office space is essential for continuance of the operations of the Center. The Aspen Center for Physics is joined by the Aspen Institute for Humanistic Studies in respectfully requesting a variance in the zoning code (currently R-6) to permit the relocation of this building according to the attached plan.

I again voice my objection. Sincerely, Vtt/ ,--...... , ' September 11, 1973 Aspen Board of Adjustment c/o Lorraine Graves Box V Aspen, Colorado 81611 Gentlemen: About a year ago the Aspen Center for Physics applied for a variance to move the Physics building from the present location to a location zoned R-6. If we are not mistaken, it was met with 100% objections from the surrounding property o,mers. For personal reasons we hope that the board again will deny this request. ?

I would like to state my o;nosition to the above zoning change reql~est for the followinG "easons: 1. Breaking of our present Zoning Code. 2. Infringement on the surrouncing residential area. 3. Increased traffic on North Street. Also, in closing, I would like to state my criticism that the BOard of Adjustments Adgenda is not published in the newspaper prior to its hearings so that all interested parties in the neighborhood can vo~ce their opinions.
