Cooper- Appeal from Design Standards SUMMARY: The applicant requests a waiver of the Ordinance #30 standard related to "volume" for a new structure. APPLICANT: John Davis, represented by Mark Ward, architect. LOCATION: 918 E. Cooper Avenue ZONING: RMF PROJECT REVIEW PROCESS AND STAFF EVALUATION 1. Background- The project is a new duplex adjacent to a historic landmark. HPC reviewed the project for mass and scale issues. 11. Site description- The lot is 6,000 sq.ft. and is being developed as a duplex. 111. Waiver requested- A. Standard: "Floor area ratio and allowable floor area for a residential building or portion thereof shall include a calculation based on the relationship between every instance of the exterior expressions and interior plate heights. All interior areas that include exterior expression of a plate height greater than 10 (ten) feet, shall be counted as two (2) square feet per each square footage of actual floor area. Exterior expression shall be defined as facade penetrations between nine (9) and twelve (12) feet above the elevation of the finished floor, and circular, semi-circular or non-orthogonal facade penetrations between nine (9) and fifteen (15) feet above the level of the finished floor. IV. Staff evaluation- The Committee may grant an exception to the design standards for any of the following criteria: a) yield greater compliance with the goals of the Aspen Area Community Plan; Staff response: The project does not further any goals of the AACP. b) more effectively address the issue or problem a given standard or provision responds to; or Staff response: The standard addresses a scale issue, and is meant to discourage two story windows. Staff finds that the windows on the alley and the sides of the building may not be problematic, however, the windows on the street facade do emphasize the verticality and height of the building, which is set at the minimum setback. Therefore, staff does not recommend waiver of the volume standard for the street facing windows. c) be clearly necessary for reasons of fairness related to unusual site specific constraints. Staff response: The variance is not related to site constraints. V. Recommendation- Staff recommends DRAC waive the volume standard for the alley and side elevations, but not for the street elevation.

The intent of the residential design standards in this regard was to discourage architects, owners and contractors from building two story glass entries. 'Plis is clearly not the case at 918 East Cooper. The street elevation shows a simple one story entry/porch. Please note this property also has approval from the Historic Preservation Committee as it relates to Aspen and the surrounding residences. Allowing glass between 9' and 12' will provide better views to Aspen Mountain and vi:ws to the north to Red Mountain. These are views of what is expected from an upper level floor in a location as like 918 East Cooper, Again, this request does not compromise the intent of ordinance #30 (The Residential Design Standards) but will enhance the ultimate final product from both tile inside and Out. Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely, Mark B.
