intersection of Park Avenue and Regents Streets. City of Aspen
Parcel # 2737-181-58-001
DATE: February 26, 1997
SUMMARY: The applicant is requesting Conditional Use approval to construct
an Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU) above a detached garage associated with a
new single family residence. By providing this ADU, the applicant would obtain a
GMQS Exemption for the single family residence pursuant to City Land Use
Regulations.
The property adjoins the Roaring Fork River and is subject to Stream Margin
Review (ESA) criteria established in Section 26.68.040 of the Municipal Code.
The applicant's Application is attached as Exhibit A, and referral comments from
Engineering, Housing and Parks are included as Exhibit B.
Community Development m nds approval of the Stream Margin

Conditional Use for the Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) with conditions
listed 12-19, for the subject property, 329 Park Avenue, Parcel # 2737-181-
58-001.
APPLICANT: Otto Frenzel, represented by William Campbell, Architect P.C.
LOCATION: 329 Park Avenue, located near the intersection of Park Avenue
and Regent Streets. City of Aspen Parcel # 2737-181-58-001. Property adjoins
the Roaring Fork River.
ZONING: Medium Density Residential (R-6) PUD. ADU's are a conditional use
in this zone district.
CURRENT LAND USE: Vacant
LOT SIZE:
.312 Acres = 13,590 Square Feet. A portion of this lot is within the high water
mark of the Roaring Fork River and has not been subtracted from this
calculation.
ALLOWABLE FAR: For lots 9,000-15,000 square feet this zone district allows
for 3,660 square feet of floor area plus 6 square feet of floor area for each
additional 100 square feet of lot area up to a maximum of 4,020 square feet.
This formula gives an allowable floor area of 3,935 square feet for this site. This
calculation is an estimate only and based on the total size of the lot. It does not
take into account slope reductions, areas within the floodplain, or any potential
FAR bonuses.
PROPOSED LAND USE: One detached single-family residence with a
corresponding accessory dwelling unit. Detached residential dwellings are
permitted uses on lots of 6,000 square feet or greater in the R-6 zone district.
An ADU is a conditional use in this zone district.
REVIEW PROCEDURE:
Stream Margin (ESA) Review is a one-step process at a meeting before the
Planning and Zoning Commission. An ESA Review may be consolidated with any
other development applications. Stream Margin (ESA) Review is not a public
hearing and requires no notification of the public prior to review as per Section
26.52.060(E)(4)(a).
Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU's) must comply with Section 26.40.090 and
require conditional use approval pursuant to Section 26.60.040 by the Planning
and Zoning Commission at a public hearing. It is a one-step review that requires
notification to be published, posted and mailed in accordance with Section
26.52.060(E).
This development is also subject to the Residential Design Standards, Section
26.58.040. The information needed to properly conduct this review has not yet
been made available by the applicant. Appropriate review of the application for
compliance with the Residential Design Standards will be necessary before a
building permit can be issued.
BACKGROUND: Dieter Bibbig created this lot through subdivision August 9,
1973. There were no conditions associated with this subdivision.
Frenzel purchased the property from Dieter Bibbig on April 10, 1996. A lot line
adjustment for parcels 1 &2 was approved by Staff January 10,1997. The lot is
2
currently vacant. Access to the property is through a common access and utility
easement (re -aligned) which lies between the two parcels.
This property is located at the base of a natural drainage basin defined by S. Park
Circle to the north and Midland Park Place to the northeast, continuing up
Smuggler Mountain between the two streets. A non -dedicated storm sewer
currently accommodates this storm run-off through the lot to the .Roaring Fork
River. A storm sewer easement should be dedicated to the City of Aspen to
maintain this historic storm drainage. An easement along the north-easterly
property line (from Park Avenue to the Roaring Fork River), is the most logical
alignment for maintenance, repair, and operation. (see Engineering Department
Memorandum, Exhibit B).
ADU
The applicant is asking for a conditional use approval for an ADU located above
a detached garage which will allow a GMQS Exemption for the single-family
residence proposed. The public hearing for this conditional use review was
opened February 4, 1997 and continued to March 4, 1997. The public hearing
was properly noticed.
Stream Margin Review
This review was originally scheduled for February 4, 1997 and was tabled to
February 18, 1997, in which the Planning and Zoning Commission, after
discussing the project, continued the hearing to March 4, 1997, to allow the
applicant to address a few issues with the Community Development Department.
These were:
1) Whether or not there was an agreement formed between the
applicant and Bob Nevins, Planner, concerning top -of -slope.
Staff Response:
Staff maintains that there was no such agreement. The applicant's
representative, Bill Campbell, and Bob Nevins walked around the
site and discussed top -of -slope. There were, however, no specific
elevations for top -of -slope discussed, nor were there any maps
drawn or agreements written.
Staff has made it clear to the applicant's attorney that it is the
applicant's burden of proof to represent this "agreement" with either
verbal or written testimony from Bob Nevins.
2) A better representation of the site's topography in section view by a
registered surveyor and a discussion on the top -of -slope issue with
Engineering and Parks Departments.
Staff Response:
In a meeting on February 24, 1997, the applicant presented three
site sections of the Frenzel Property prepared by Jim Reser, a
registered surveyor, to Community Development, Engineering, and
Parks Departments. The three departments agreed that there was
no conclusive evidence to support the applicant's top -of -slope. In
fact the section shown could support a more restrictive top -of -slope
than that already recommended by City Staff. The applicant opted
to not submit this new information to the application.
REFERRAL COMMENTS: The comments from the City Engineering, Housing,
and Parks Departments are included as Exhibit B.
4
STAFF COMMENTS: Stream Margin
Stream Margin Review is contained within Chapter 26.68, Development in
Environmentally Sensitive Areas (ESA) of the Municipal Code. Section 26.68.040
defines stream margins as "areas located within one hundred feet, measured
horizontally, from the high water line of the Roaring Fork River and its tributary
streams, or within the one hundred year floodplain where it extends one hundred
feet from the high water line of the Roaring Fork River and its tributary streams, or
within a flood hazard area (stream margin). Development in these areas shall be
subject to heightened review so as to reduce and prevent property loss by flood
while ensuring the natural and unimpeded flow of watercourses. Review shall
encourage development and land uses that preserve and protect existing
watercourses as important features.
The Frenzel property is located within one hundred feet, measured horizontally,
from the Roaring Fork River. The proposed development of new detached single-
family residences on the lot is subject to Stream Margin Review pursuant to
Section 26.68.040 (Exhibit C).
STAFF FINDINGS: Based upon review of the applicant's land use application,
agency referral comments and several site visits, Community Development staff
make the following findings Pursuant to Section 26.68.040, Criteria for Stream
Margin Review:
A. No development shall be permitted in the floodway, with the exception of bridges or
structures for irrigation, drainage, flood control or water diversion, which may be
permitted by the City Engineer, provided plans and specifications are submitted to
demonstrate that the structure is engineered to prevent blockage of drainage
channels during peak flows and the Commission determines the proposed structure
complies, to the extent practical, with all standards set forth below.
Staff Finding: Applicant is not proposing development in the Floodway. Applicant
is in compliance of Section 26.68.040 (A)
B. No development shall be permitted within one hundred (100) feet, measured
horizontally, from the high water line of the Roaring Fork River and its tributary
streams, or within the Special Flood Hazard Area where it extends beyond 100 feet
from the high water line of the Roaring Fork River and its tributary streams, unless
the Commission makes a determination that the proposed development complies
with all standards set forth below:
It can be demonstrated that any proposed development which is in the Special
Flood Hazard Area will not increase the base flood elevation on the parcel proposed
for development. This shall be demonstrated by an engineering study prepared by
a professional engineer registered in the State of Colorado which shows that the
base flood elevation will not be raised, including, but not limited to, proposed
5
mitigation techniques on or off -site which compensate for any base flood elevation
increase caused by the development;
Staff Finding: Applicant has not delineated the Special Flood Hazard Area on the
submitted site plan. However, top -of -slope is more restrictive and will prohibit
development in the Special Flood Hazard Area. Applicant is not proposing
development below top -of -slope and is therefore in compliance with Code Section
26.68.040 (B)(1)
2. Any trail on the parcel designated on the Aspen Area Community Plan,
Parks/Recreation/Open Space/Trails Plan Map, or areas of historic public use or
access are dedicated via a recorded easement for public use. Dedications are
necessitated by development's increased impacts to the City's recreation and trail
facilities including public fishing access;
Staff Finding: Applicant has not accurately responded. A trail through the property
is shown on the "Pedestrian Trails Plan" of the Aspen Area Community Plan (see
Parks Department Memorandum, Exhibit B). However, under advice from the City
Attorney, the City cannot require the applicant to grant an easement for a
recreational trail through this Stream Margin Review process. The applicant is
strongly encouraged to negotiate in good faith with the City of Aspen to grant or
sell a public access easement along the Roaring Fork River as mentioned in the
AACP.
3. The recommendations of the Roaring Fork Greenway Plan are implemented in the
proposed plan for development, to the greatest extent practical;
Staff Finding: The Roaring Fork Greenway Plan includes a trail along the Roaring
Fork River through the applicant's property. The applicant has not provided a plan
for the implementation of this trail. Again, the applicant is strongly encouraged to
negotiate in good faith with the City of Aspen to grant or sell a public access
easement along the Roaring Fork River as mentioned in the Roaring Fork
Greenway Plan.
4. There is no vegetation removed or damaged or slope grade changes (cut/fill) made
outside of a specifically defined building envelope. A building envelope shall be
designated by this review and said envelope shall be barricaded prior to issuance of
any demolition, excavation or building permits. The barricades shall remain in place
until the issuance of Certificates of Occupancy;
Staff Finding: A landscape plan has not been submitted. The applicant has
provided a building envelope based on a top -of -slope just below elevation 7930.
Based on contours represented on the site plan, the definition of top -of -slope per
Section 26.04.100, and site visits, Engineering has determined top -of -slope to be
6
at elevation 7,934, while the Parks Department has determined top -of -slope to be
at elevation 7,936. Staff is recommending that top -of -slope be established at
elevation 7,935 and the fifteen -foot no -development zone be established parallel to
this contour as a condition of approval before issuance of a building permit.
5. The proposed development does not pollute or interfere with the natural changes of
the river, stream or other tributary, including erosion and/or sedimentation during
construction. Increased on -site drainage shall be accommodated within the parcel
to prevent entry into the river or onto its banks. Pool or hot tubs cannot be drained
outside of the designated building envelope;
Staff Findina: The applicant has not provided a plan addressing pollution or
interference with the natural changes of the river, stream or other tributary,
including erosion and/or sedimentation during construction. The applicant has not
provided a plan to accommodate on -site drainage, or pool/hot tub drainage, within
the parcel to prevent entry into the river or onto its banks. The submittal of this
document should be a condition of approval.
6. Written notice shall be provided to the Colorado Water Conservation Board prior to
any alteration or relocation of a water course, and a copy of said notice is submitted
to the Federal Emergency Management Agency;
Staff Findina: Not applicable. There is no alteration or relocation of the
watercourse.
7. A guarantee is provided in the event a water course is altered or relocated, that
applies to the developer and his heirs, successors and assigns that ensures that the
flood carrying capacity on the parcel is not diminished;
Staff Finding_ Not applicable.
8. Copies are provided of all necessary federal and state permits related to the work
within the 100-year floodplain.
Staff Findina: Not applicable. There is no proposed work within the 100-year
floodplain
9. There is no development other than approved native vegetation planting taking
place below the top of slope or within fifteen (15) feet of the top of slope or the high
waterline, whichever is most restrictive.
Staff Findina: No landscape plan has been submitted. A landscape plan pursuant
to Section 26.68.040(B)(11) addressing Section 26.68.040(B)(9) should be
submitted as a condition of approval for Stream Margin Review. Development
deemed essential within this area may only be approved by special review
pursuant to Section 26.64.040(D).
10. All development outside of the fifteen (15) foot setback from the top of slope does
not exceed a height delineated by a line drawn at a forty-five (45) degree angle from
ground level at the top of slope.
Staff Findina: The applicant is not proposing development above this (45) degree
angle. However, if the Commission accepts staffs recommendation to adjust top -
of -slope to elevation 7935, the applicant may need to revise the proposed
development. As a condition of approval, the Commission should require that the
applicant's new design also meet this standard.
11. A landscape plan is submitted with all development applications.
Staff Finding: A landscape plan has not been submitted. A landscape plan
pursuant to Section 26.68.040(B)(11) should be submitted as a condition of
approval for Stream Margin Review.
12. All exterior lighting is low and downcast with no lights directed toward the river or
located down the slope;
Staff Finding: The applicant has stated that "no exterior lighting will be directed
down slope or toward the river." This should be a condition of approval.
13. There has been accurate identification of wetland and riparian areas.
Staff Finding: Wetland and riparian areas have not been delineated on the
submitted site plan. As a condition of approval, the Commission should require the
applicant to accurately identify wetland and riparian areas pursuant to Section

STAFF COMMENTS: ADU
Section 26.60.040, Standards Applicable to all Conditional Uses
(A) The conditional use is consistent with the purposes, goals, objectives and
standards of the Aspen Area Comprehensive Plan, and with the intent of
the zone district in which it is proposed to be located.
Staff Findina:
The proposed development is consistent with the purposes, goals, objectives,
and standards of the AACP, and with the intent of the R-6 zone district.
(B) The conditional use is consistent and compatible with the character of the
immediate vicinity of the parcel proposed for development and
surrounding land uses, or enhances the mixture of complimentary uses
and activities in the immediate vicinity of the parcel proposed for
development.
Staff Findina:
The subject parcel is surrounded by multi- and single-family residential uses, and
an ADU use is both consistent and compatible with the existing residential
development in the immediate vicinity.
(C) The location, size, design and operating characteristics of the proposed
conditional use minimizes adverse effects, including visual impacts,
impacts on pedestrian and vehicular circulation, parking, trash, service
delivery, noise, vibrations and odor on surrounding properties.
Staff Finding:
The submitted drawings lack sufficient information to determine the size and
design of the proposed structures. Consequently, it is difficult to truly assess
these applicable impacts. As a condition of approval, Commission should
require the applicant meet this standard.
(D) There are adequate public facilities and services to serve the conditional
use including but not limited to roads, potable water, sewer, solid waste,
parks, police, fire protection, emergency medical services, hospital and
medical services, drainage systems, and schools.
Staff Findina:
There are adequate public facilities and services to serve the proposed uses.
See Engineering referral comments, attached as Exhibit B.
(E) The applicant commits to supply affordable housing to meet the
incremental need for increased employees generated by the conditional
use.
01
Staff Finding:
The applicant is not generating additional employees. Furthermore the applicant
is providing a deed restricted housing unit in accordance with the Housing
Authority's guidelines for resident occupied units.
(F) The proposed conditional use complies with all additional standards
imposed on it by the Aspen Area Comprehensive Plan and by all other
applicable requirements of this title.
Staff Finding:
The proposed conditional uses will comply with all additional standards imposed
on it be the AACP. It is unknown whether or not the proposed development is in
accordance with the Residential Design Standards. Planning and Zoning
Commission should condition this approval on the applicant meeting the
requirements in Section 26.58.040, Residential Design Standards. It should be
noted that the Parks Department is continuing to encourage the applicant to
consider granting or selling an easement across these lots for trail purposes (see
attached referral comments from the Parks Department, Exhibit B).
Section 26.40.090, Accessory Dwelling Units
A. General Provisions
1) Accessory Dwelling units shall contain not less than three -hundred (300) square
feet and no more than seven -hundred (700) square feet of net livable area. The
unit shall be deed restricted, meeting the Housing Authority's guidelines for
resident occupied units and shall be limited to rental periods of not less than six
(6) months in duration. Owners of the principle residence shall have the right to
place a qualified employee or employees of his or her choosing in the accessory s�
dwelling unit. One (1) parking space shall be provided on -site for each studio
unit, and for each bedroom within a one or two -bedroom accessory dwelling unit.
Staff Findina:
The applicant has not provided enough information for City Staff to determine the
square footage of the Accessory Dwelling Unit, its density, or the location of the
parking associated with the accessory dwelling unit. Planning and Zoning
Commission should, as a condition of approval, require this ADU meet these
standards, Section 26.40.090(A)(1) of the Code. (see Housing and Engineering
referral comments, Exhibit B)
2) An attached accessory dwelling unit shall be subject to all other dimensional
requirements of the underlying zone district.
Staff Findina:
The dimensional requirements in the R-6 zone district are:
1 Minimum lot size = 6000 square feet.
H
2 Minimum lot area per detached residential unit = 6000 square feet
3 Minimum lot width = 60 feet
4 Minimum front and rear yard = 10 feet minimum each & no more than
30 feet total. For accessory buildings, front yard = 15 minimum and
rear yard = 5 feet minimum.
5 Each Side Yard = 15 feet with both being no more than 35 feet total.
6 Maximum site coverage = 25%
7 Maximum height for principle building = 25 feet
Maximum height for accessory building = 21 feet on front 2/3 of lot, 12
feet on rear 1/3 of lot.
8 Minimum distance between detached buildings on lot = 5 feet.
9 No requirement for open space in this zone district.
10 Maximum allowable floor area = For lots 9,000-15,000 square feet this
zone district allows for 3,660 square feet of floor area plus 6 square
feet of floor area for each additional 100 square feet of lot area up
to a maximum of 4,020 square feet. This formula gives an
allowable flor area of 3,935 square feet. This calculation is an
estimate only and based on the total size of the lot. It does not
take into account slope reductions, areas within the floodplain, or
any potential FAR bonuses.
The applicant is in compliance with 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, & 9. From the information
presented, it is unclear whether the applicant is in compliance with 6, 7, &10.
3) A detached accessory dwelling unit shall only be permitted on parcels that have
secondary and/or alley access, exempting parcels with existing structures to be
converted to detached accessory dwelling units, detached garages or carports
where an accessory dwelling unit is proposed above, attached to, or contained
within such detached garage or carport. Detached accessory dwelling units are
prohibited within the R-15B zone district.
Staff Findina:
Applicant does not have an alley access. Applicant does, however, have a
secondary access separate from the public right of way. Applicant is in
compliance.
4) An attached accessory dwelling unit shall utilize alley access to the extent
practical.
Staff Finding:
Not applicable.
A. Development Review Standards.
1) The proposed development is compatible and subordinate in character with the
primary residence located on the property and with the development located
within the neighborhood, and assuming year -around occupancy, shall not create
a density pattern inconsistent with the established neighborhood.
Staff Finding:
Applicant is in compliance.
2) Where the proposed development varies from the dimensional requirements of
the underlying zone district, the Planning and Zoning Commission shall find that
such variation is more compatible in character with the primary residence than the
development in accord with dimensional requirements. The following dimensional
requirements may be varied:
7—a. Minimum front and rear yard setbacks
b. Minimum distance between buildings on the lot.
C. Maximum allowed floor area may be exceeded up to the bonus allowed for
accessory dwelling units.
�d. The side yard setback shall be a minimum of three feet.
e. The maximum height limits for detached accessory dwelling units in the R-6
zone district may be varied at the rear one-third (1/3) of the parcel, however,
the maximum height of the structure shall not exceed eighteen (18) feet. On
Landmark Designated parcels and within the Historic Overlay District the
HPC shall have the ability to make height variations.
f. Maximum allowable site coverage may be varied up to a maximum of five (5)
percent, on Landmark Designated Parcels and within an Historic Overlay
District the HPC shall have the ability to make such site coverage variations.
g. In the case where the proposed detached accessory dwelling unit is located
on a Landmark Designated Parcel or within an Historic Overlay District only
HPC may make dimensional variations pursuant to the standards of Section
26.40.070(B)
Staff Findina:
The current site plan shows the applicant to be in compliance with the
dimensional requirements listed 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, & 9 under A. General Provisions
above. From the information presented, it is unclear whether the applicant is in
compliance with 6, 7, &10 of this section.
The applicants representative may ask for certain dimensional variances if thes_7
Commission finds the top -of -slope to be different from what the applicant is
proposing. These variances would allow the applicant to maintain the same
design proposed and merely `push' the total development back further from the
river or `push' the two structures closer together. It is staffs position that the
recommended top -of -slope does not create a hardship making such variances
necessary, but staff is not opposed to the Commission granting dimensional
variances for this development, as long as they meet standards a-e above.
As a condition of approval, commission should require the applicant meet
dimensional requirements approved.
3) The Planning and Zoning Commission and the Historic Preservation Committee
may exempt existing nonconforming structures, being converted to a detached
12
•
•
accessory dwelling unit, from 26.40.070(B)(2)(a-g) provided that the
nonconformity is not increased.
Staff Findina:
Not applicable.
4) Conditional use review shall be granted pursuant to Section 26.60.040 Standards
applicable to all conditional uses.
Staff Finding:
See staff findings for conditional use review.
C. Bandit Units.
Any bandit dwelling unit which can be demonstrated to have been in existence on or prior
to November 1, 1988, and which complies with the requirements of this section may be
legalized as an accessory dwelling unit, if it shall meet the health and safety requirements
of the Uniform Building Code, as determined by the Chief Building Official.
Staff Finding:
Not applicable.
D. GMQS/ Replacement Housing Credits.
Accessory dwelling units shall not be used to obtain points in the affordable housing
category of the Growth Management Quota System (GMQS). Only those units meeting
the housing size, type, income and occupancy guidelines of approval of the housing
designee and the standards of Section 26.100.090 may be used to obtain points in the
affordable housing category. Accessory dwelling units also may not be used to meet the
requirements of Title 20 of the Municipal Code of the City of Aspen, Colorado,
"Residential Multi -Family Housing Replacement Program."
Staff Findina:
Not applicable
E. FAR for Accessory Dwelling Units.
For the purposes of calculating floor area ratio and allowable floor area for a lot whose
principle use is residential, the following shall apply: the allowable floor area for an
above -grade attached accessory dwelling unit shall be excluded to a maximum of three -
hundred -fifty (350) square feet of allowable floor area or fifty (50) percent of the size of the
accessory dwelling unit, whichever is less. This floor area exclusion provision only
applies to accessory dwelling units which are subject to review and approval by the
Planning and Zoning Commission pursuant to conditional use review and approval,
Section 26.60.030 of this code, and the units must be deed restricted, registered with the
housing office, and available for rental to an eligible working resident of Pitkin County.
The owner retains the right to select the renter for the unit.
Staff Findina:
Not applicable

Chris Bendon recommends to the Planning & Zoning Commission that the non -dedicated
storm sewer traversing the Frenzel property be dedicated to the City of Aspen - see paragraph 10
under Staff Recommendations of his Memorandum dated February 12, 1997. This is not an
appropriate recommendation as it amounts to an exaction which is not the result of the actions of
the applicant, attributable to the development of the Frenzel property or required under the
Stream Margin Review provisions of the Municipal Code.
There is a history to this storm drain and it was the subject of a similar request by Ross
Soderstrom at the time of the City's approval of the Bibbig lot line adjustment procedure a few
months ago. Joe Edwards representing Dieter Bibbig was in contact with John Worcester at the
time and the requirement of dedication was dropped. I enclose Joe Edwards' correspondence
with John, together with the attachments to his letter for your information.
Please advise Chris Bendon to delete the dedication recommendation and requirement.
Thank you.

P&Z: FRENZEL STREAM MARGIN REVIEW:
BACKGROUND: NOT A SPEC HOUSE - THE FRENZELS OWN A
CONDOMINIUM UNIT NEXT DOOR TO THIS PROPERTY. ARCHITECT
BILL CAMPBELL MET WITH PLANNER BOB NEVINS ON SITE AND
THE 79930' ELEVATION LINE WAS DETERMINED TO BE THE "TOP
OF SLOPE". BILL PROCEEDED WITH HIS DESIGN, FOOTPRINT AND
THE STREAM MARGIN APPLICATION. ONLY WHEN THE STAFF
MEMO WAS PREPARED RECOMMENDING 79935 AS THE TOP OF
SLOPE DID WE REALIZE THERE IS AN ISSUE FOR P&Z TO RESOLVE.
I. Major Issue is Top of Slope Determination
A. Four elevations are suggested:
1. Applicant -- basically the 7,930 elevation line
2. Engineering Department -- 7,9:3'
3. Parks Department -- 7,936
4. Staff recommends -- 7,935
& The 5 feet difference between Staff s recommendation and the
applicant, has the following effect.
1. It moves the building envelope to approximately 7,938
elevation line from the 7,936 elevation line.
2 It moves the building footprint from 7,938 elevation line
to the 7,940/7,942 lines.
3. More importantly for the applicant's standpoint, it moves
the house (building footprint) bank on this Lot 15 feet.
•
4. We think this is an arbitrary result because the application
meets all of the criteria of Stream Margin Review, yet
when the Top of Slope formula is attempted to be applied,
it results in unfairness as to where the house is to be
located on the lot.
C. Illustration:
1� The most recent and perhaps only precedent is the Win -
River application — Lots 1 and 2, Kastelic Subdivision.
a. Bill Campbell is the architect on this project as well.
The Top of Slope for these two lots was agreed to on
site, not by the application of the TOS formula.
2. Here are the differences between Lot 2 and the Frenzel
Lot based upon Top of Slope at 7,935 for Frenzel and
7,954 for Win -River.
a. Distance from High Water Mark to Top of Slope
Win -River - 38'
Frenzel - 53'
(15' higher)
b. Distance from 100 year flood plain to Top of Slope
Win -River - 24'
Frenzel - 45'
(21' higher)
C. Distance from 500 year flood plain to Top of Slope
Win -River - 14-16'/6' in elevation
Frenzel - 38'/18' in elevation
d. Elevation change from Top of Slope elevation line to
the rear property line
Win -River - Approximately 30 feet
Frenzel - Approximately 7 feet
PA
E
'7
3. Conclusion — The Frenzel building envelope is
dramatically pushed back by the application of the TOS
formula. This is contrary to the precedent set by Kastelic.
4, Top of Slope Formula:
"Top of Slope means a point or a line connecting at
least three (3) points determined by the point of
intersection of fifty -foot lines, one line being the level
of the existing grade above the slope and the other line
being the angle of the existing slope, both lines
measured on a site section drawing."
Where's the starting point?
a. River's edge / where's the river? / 100 year flood
plain / high water line.
b. Must use an average for the slope over the 50'.
C. Presumption of the definition is that the stream -side
property will have 50' of reasonably even slope.
I_. Trails:
.4. Review Bikeway Plan and Roaring Fork River Trail from
Cooper Avenue to Herron Park from the Park's Department.
B� Assuming the applicants top of slope elevation of 7,930 is
accepted by P&Z, Applicant will grant an easement to the City
of Aspen implementing the bikeway and pedestrian plans on
condition that the similar connecting easements are obtained.
3
III. Roaring Fork Greenway Plan:
A. Elevation 7,930 accommodates the following goal of the plan:
Protect the River "from further development in order to
preserve the attractive features of the River."
1. Riparian habitat and vegetation are preserved.
2. No landscaping of the bank is proposed.
B. See Elevation Depiction of the Frenzel Lot.
C. Note the upstream property location.
IV. Storm Drain:
A� Will dedicate to City if get a reasonable. determination as we
have requested
V� Architectural Consideration:
A. Bill Campbell's comments.
VI. Review Stream Margin Criteria — Section 26.68.040.
VII. SUMMARY:
A� All criteria Stream Margin Review have been met or is a
condition of approval.
& In order to accommodate the recommendation of the City Parks
Department with respect to granting an easement for bike and
pedestrian purposes, P&Z must acknowledge that the definition
of "Top of Slope" is ambiguous and accept the applicant's
requested Top of Slope at 7,930.
4
•
•
Co Recognizing 7930 is more consistent with the Win -River
approval, doesn't penalize the applicant and maintains the
Roaring Fork Greenway unlike the properties up -stream.

RE: Frenzel Conditional Use for an ccessory Dwelling Unit ADU) and
Dimensional Variances - Publi eanng. ark A enue, near
intersection of Park Avenue and Regents Streets. City of Aspen Parcel #
2737-181-58-001
DATE: March 27, 1997
SUMMARY: The applicant is requesting Conditional Use approval to construct an
Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU) above a detached garage associated with a new single
family residence. By providing this ADU, the applicant would obtain a GMQS
Exemption for the single family residence pursuant to City Land Use Regulations. The
applicant is also asking the Commission to vary dimensional requirements for the front
yard, from 15' to 2'6", the side yard, from 15' to 12', and the maximum allowable floor
area by 225 square feet.
Community Development staff recommends approval of the Conditional Use for the
Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU), with conditions, for the Frenzel property.
APPLICANT: Otto Frenzel, represented by William Campbell and Charles Brandt.
LOCATION: 329 Park Avenue City of Aspen Parcel # 2737-181-58-001.
ZONING: Medium Density Residential (R-6) PUD. ADUs are a conditional use.
LOT SIZE: .312 Acres = 13,591 square feet.
LOT AREA (FOR PUPOSES OF FAR CALCULATIONS): 10,193 square feet

.� - ------3625 Main house, with a 225 square foot variance of the maximum
allowable square footage. (discretion of P&Z)
VI
39,P Total for site.
CURRENT LAND USE: Vacant
PROPOSED LAND USE: One detached single-family residence with a corresponding
accessory dwelling unit. Detached residential dwellings are permitted uses on lots of
6,000 square feet or greater in the R-6 zone district. An ADU is a conditional use in this
zone district.
PREVIOUS ACTION:
The Commission reviewed the application for conditional use for an ADU on March 4,
1997, along with the Stream Margin Review. The Commission decided that there was
not enough information submitted by the applicant to adequately review the ADU and
continued the review to March 18, and requested the applicant provide more information.
On March 18, 1997, the applicant continued the public hearing to April 1. The additional
information has since been provided to Staff, and is included in Staff Comments, as well
as Exhibit "A". Public notice has again been given to reflect the variance requests.
REVIEW PROCEDURE: Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU's) must comply with Section
26.40.090 and require conditional use approval pursuant to Section 26.60.040 by the
Planning and Zoning Commission at a public hearing. It is a one-step review that
requires notification to be published, posted and mailed in accordance with Section
26.52.060(E). Dimensional variances may be granted by the Commission for proposals
involving an ADU with proper public notice of the variances requested.
This development is also subject to the Residential Design Standards, Section 26.58.040.
Appropriate review of the application for compliance with the Residential Design
Standards will be necessary before issuance of a building permit.
BACKGROUND: Dieter Bibbig created this lot through subdivision August 9, 1973. There
were no conditions associated with this approval.
Frenzel purchased lot #1 from Dieter Bibbig on April 10, 1996. A lot line adjustment for
parcels 1 &2 was approved by Staff January 10, 1997. The lot is currently vacant. Access
to the property is through a (re -aligned) common access and utility easement which lies
between the two parcels.
The property adjoins 1he'R64hg Fork River and development on the parcel is subject to
Stream Margin Review. Th4'Conumission approved the Stream Margin Review for this
development on March 4, 190.
The applicant is asking for a conditional use approval for an ADU located above a
detached garage which will allow for a GMQS Exemption for the single-family residence
proposed. The public hearing for this conditional use review was opened February.: 4,. , .
1997, continued to March 4, continued to March 18, and then continued to April 1, 1997.
2
The applicant is also asking the Commission to vary dimensional requirements of the
zone district for this development. A dimensional analysis is included in Staff
Comments.
CURRENT ISSUES:
City Council recently changed the sections of the Code relating to ADUs requiring them
to be occupied. The applicant had submitted this application prior to these changes and
Staff has reviewed the application based on these prior criteria.
Commission had, at the previous meeting, a question about the proximity of the proposed
structure to the neighboring building, and whether it represented a potential violation of
the building code. According to the Building Department, any habitable space within 3'
of a property boundary must be 1 hour fire rated and have no fenestration. Because the
proposed structure within this 3' boundary is a deck, and the habitable section of this
structure is outside of this boundary, it does not pose a building code violation.
STAFF COMMENTS:
Section 26.60.040, Standards Applicable to all Conditional Uses
(A) The conditional use is consistent with the purposes, goals, objectives and
standards of the Aspen Area Comprehensive Plan, and with the intent of the
zone district in which it is proposed to be located.
Staff Finding:
The AACP promotes accessory dwelling units and infill development of affordable
housing interspersed with free market housing. The proposed development is consistent
with the purposes, goals, objectives, and standards of the AACP, and with the intent of
the R-6 zone district.
(B) The conditional use is consistent and compatible with the character of the
immediate vicinity of the parcel proposed for development and surrounding land
uses, or enhances the mixture of complimentary uses and activities in the
immediate vicinity of the parcel proposed for development.
Staff Finding:
The subject parcel is surrounded by multi- and single-family residential uses, and an
ADU use is both consistent and compatible with the existing residential development in
the immediate vicinity.
(C) The location, size, design and operating characteristics of the proposed
conditional use minimizes adverse effects, including visual impacts, impacts on
pedestrian and vehicular circulation, parking, trash, service delivery, noise,
vibrations and odor on surrounding properties.
Staff Finding
The design of the proposed conditional use minimizes adverse effects.
(D) There are adequate public facilities and services to serve the conditional use
including but not limited to roads, potable water, sewer, solid waste, parks,
police, fire protection, emergency medical services, hospital and medical
services, drainage systems, and schools.
Staff Finding:
There are adequate public facilities and services to serve the proposed uses. See
Engineering referral comments, attached as Exhibit B.
(E) The applicant commits to supply affordable housing to meet the incremental
need for increased employees generated by the conditional use.
Staff Finding:
The applicant is not generating additional employees. Furthermore, the applicant
is providing a deed restricted housing unit in accordance with the Housing
Authority's guidelines for Resident Occupied units.
(F) The proposed conditional use complies with all additional standards imposed on it by the
Aspen Area Comprehensive Plan and by all other applicable requirements of this title.
Staff Finding.
The proposed conditional use complies with all additional standards imposed on it by the
AACP. It is unknown whether or not the proposed development is in accordance with the
Residential Design Standards. Planning and Zoning Commission should condition this
approval on the applicant meeting the requirements in Section 26.58.040, Residential
Design Standards.
Section 26.40.090, Accessory Dwelling Units
A. General Provisions
1) Accessory Dwelling units shall contain not less than three -hundred (300) square feet and
no more than seven -hundred (700) square feet of net livable area. The unit shall be deed
restricted, meeting the Housing Authority's guidelines for resident occupied units and
shall be limited to rental periods of not less than six (6) months in duration. Owners of
the principle residence shall have the right to place a qualified employee or employees of
his or her choosing in the accessory dwelling unit. One (1) parking space shall be
provided on -site for each studio unit, and for each bedroom within a one or two -bedroom
accessory dwelling unit.
Staff Finding_;.
The proposed ADU is 450 square feet and in compliance with net livable area
requirements. One parking space in relation to the ADU has been represented in the
submitted drawings. The Commission should condition approval upon the deed
restriction of the ADU in accordance with this Section of the Code.
2) An attached accessory dwelling unit shall be subject to all other dimensional
requirements of the underlying zone district.
4
•
Staff Finding;
The proposed ADU is detached.
3) A detached accessory dwelling unit shall only be permitted on parcels that have
secondary and/or alley access, excepting parcels with existing structures to be converted
to detached accessory dwelling units, detached garages or carports where an accessory
dwelling unit is proposed above, attached to, or contained within such detached garage or
carport. Detached accessory dwelling units are prohibited within the R-15B zone district.
Staff Finding:
Applicant does not have an alley access. Applicant does, however, have a secondary
access separate from the public right of way. The proposal meets this criteria.
4) An attached accessory dwelling unit shall utilize alley access to the extent practical.
Staff Finding;
See Staff Finding A.3, above
B. Development Review Standards. The review standards for a detached accessory
dwelling unit are as follows:
1) The proposed development is compatible and subordinate in character with the primary
residence located on the property and with the development located within the
neighborhood, and assuming year -around occupancy, shall not create a density pattern
inconsistent with the established neighborhood.
Staff Finding;.
The proposed ADU is significantly smaller than the primary residence. The
neighborhood has both single and multi -family units. This ADU is compatible with the
surrounding neighborhood.
2) Where the proposed development varies from the dimensional requirements of the
underlying zone district, the Planning and Zoning Commission shall find that such
variation is more compatible in character with the primary residence than the
development in accord with dimensional requirements. The following dimensional
requirements may be varied:
a. Minimum front and rear yard setbacks
b. Minimum distance between buildings on the lot.
c. Maximum allowed floor area may be exceeded up to the bonus allowed for
accessory dwelling units.
d. The side yard setback shall be a minimum of three feet.
e. The maximum height limits for detached accessory dwelling units in the R-6 zone
district may be varied at the rear one-third (1/3) of the parcel, however, the
maximum height of the structure shall not exceed eighteen (18) feet. On
Landmarked Designated parcels and within the Historic Overlay District the HPC
shall have the ability to make height variations.
5
f. Maximum allowable site coverage may be varied up to a maximum of five (5)
percent, on Landmark Designated Parcels and within an Historic Overlay District the
HPC shall have the ability to make such .site coverage variations.
g. In the case where the proposed detached accessory dwelling unit is located on a
Landmark Designated Parcel or within an Historic Overlay District only HPC may
make dimensional variations pursuant to the standards of Section 26.40.070(B)
Staff Finding;
The ADU is not in compliance with the underlying zone district. The dimensional
requirements in the R-6 zone district are:
1 Minimum lot size = 6000 square feet.
2 Minimum lot area per detached residential unit = 6000 square feet
3 Minimum lot width = 60 feet
4 Minimum front and rear yard = 10 feet minimum each & no less than 30 feet
total for the principal building. For accessory buildings, front yard = 15
minimum and rear yard = 5 feet minimum.
5 Each Side Yard = 15 feet minimum, combined being no less than 35 feet total.
6 Maximum site coverage = 25%
7 Maximum height for principle building = 25 feet
Maximum height for accessory building = 21 feet on front 2/3 of lot, 12 feet on
rear 1/3 of lot.
8 Minimum distance between detached buildings on lot = 5 feet. (10 feet is
required for `detached' ADUs)
9 No requirement for open space in this zone district.
10 Maximum allowable floor area = 3,732 square feet
The applicant is in compliance with all standards, except 4, 5, & 10. The applicant is
requesting that the Commission vary the front yard setback for the accessory building
from 15' to 2'6", the side yard setback from 15' to 12', and increase the maximum
allowable floor area of the parcel by 225 square feet. The applicant is justifying these
variations due to the limited building area imposed by the Stream Margin review. It is
within the Commission's latitude to vary these standards. The Commission should, as a
condition of approval, require the applicant to conform to all dimensional requirements of
the underlying zone district, unless otherwise varied during the public hearing.
It is Staff s opinion that these variations would be more compatible in character with the
primary residence. These variations would create an outside courtyard between the two
structures complimentary to both the primary residence and the ADU. This is not to say,
however, that a similar outside courtyard could not be accomplished without the
dimensional variances. Staff feels that the larger issue with these dimensional variances
is not how they affect the subject parcel, but how they affect the surrounding parcels.
With respect to the front yard variation from 15' to 2'6", Staff feels that the general
perception of this boundary would be as a side yard, and, therefore, quite significant to
the southern neighbor. Because it is legally a front yard, and not a side yard, the
6
Commission may vary the setback beyond the 3 foot minimum for side yards. The
southern neighbor's building is approximately 6 feet from the property boundary. With
the proposed 2'6" variance, the ADU would be approximately 8'6" from the neighbors
house. Staff does not object to the Commission granting this variation.
Staff does not object to the Commission varying the side yard setback from 15' to 12'.
With respect to the additional floor area for the ADU, the applicant is already receiving a
"bonus" by counting half of the ADU's area towards floor area. This is done by the
Zoning Officer who calculates the project's floor area using the definitions in the Code.
If the ADU is indeed detached, or restricted to continual occupancy, half of the area of
the ADU contributes to floor area. This is the "bonus" in the ADU program. Allowing
the applicant to increase the allowable floor area for the property by this bonus amount
would then be a second bonus. Staff is recommending that the Commission not grant this
variance because the intent of the ADU program was to reward acceptable ADUs with
only one bonus, not to grant double bonuses.
3) The Planning and Zoning Commission and the Historic Preservation Committee may
exempt existing non -conforming structures, being converted to a detached accessory
dwelling unit, from 26.40.070(B)(2)(a-g) provided that the nonconformity is not
increased.
Staff Finding:
Not applicable
4) Conditional use review shall be granted pursuant to Section 26.60.040 Standards
applicable to all conditional uses.
Staff Finding:
See Conditional use criteria and Staff responses.
C. Bandit Units.
Any bandit dwelling unit which can be demonstrated to have been in existence on or prior to
November 1, 1988, and which complies with the requirements of this section may be legalized as
an accessory dwelling unit, if it shall meet the health and safety requirements of the Uniform
Building Code, as determined by the Chief Building Official.
Staff Finding:
Not applicable.
D. GMQS/ Replacement Housing Credits.
Accessory dwelling units shall not be used to obtain points in the affordable housing category of
the Growth Management Quota System (GMQS). Only those units meeting the housing size,
type, income and occupancy guidelines of approval of the housing designee and the standards of
7
Section 26.100.090 may be used to obtain points in the affordable housing category. Accessory
dwelling units also may not be used to meet the requirements of Title 20 of the Municipal Code of
the City of Aspen, Colorado, "Residential Multi -Family Housing Replacement Program."
Staff Findina:
Not applicable
E. FAR for Accessory Dwelling Units.
For the purposes of calculating floor area ratio and allowable floor area for a lot whose principle
use is residential, the following shall apply: the allowable floor area for an above -grade attached
accessory dwelling unit shall be excluded to a maximum of three -hundred -fifty (350) square feet
of allowable floor area or fifty (50) percent of the size of the accessory dwelling unit, whichever is
less. This floor area exclusion provision only applies to accessory dwelling units which are
subject to review and approval by the Planning and Zoning Commission pursuant to conditional
use review and approval, Section 26.60.030 of this code, and the units must be deed restricted,
registered with the housing office, and available for rental to an eligible working resident of Pitkin
County. The owner retains the right to select the renter for the unit.
Staff Finding:
The proposed unit is not attached and does not have to be continuously rented according
to the Code provisions when this application was submitted. Excluding 50% of the size
of the detached unit from FAR calculations constitutes the `bonus' for the ADU.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff is recommending approval of the conditional use for an ADU with the following
conditions: - j A o
1. Prior to issuance a building permit, the applicant shall submit appropriate 3�3Z
development pl in accordance with all dimensional requirements of the R-6
zone district and variances approved by the Commission. � The final plat shall be
amended to clearly show the building envelope for the Lot. The accessory dwelling
unit shall be labeled and the deed restriction noted on the final plat. Parking for the
ADU will be delineated on the final plat. All dimensional variations for the
property shall be clearly delineated and noted on the final plat.
2. The applicant shall acquire approval from the appropriate utility companies for any
proposed construction activity within utility easements prior to the issuance of any
permits.
3. Prior to the issuance of any building permits the owner shall:
a. Verify with the Housing Office that the allowable floor area of the Accessory
Dwelling Unit contains between 300 and 700 square feet;
b. Verify with the Housing Office that the ADU will contain a kitchen having a
minimum of a two -burner stove with oven, standard sink, and a 6-cubic foot
refrigerator plus freezer;
c. Provide the Housing Office with a signed and recorded Deed Restriction, a
copy of which must be obtained from the Housing Office;
d. Clearly identify the Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) on building permit plans
with the minimum one (1) off-street parking space provided.
4. Prior to issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy, the Housing Office and/or the
Zoning Officer shall inspect the accessory dwelling.unit for compliance with all
appropriate standards in Section 26.40.090 of the.Code'and'.py conditions of
approval.
5. The driveway curb cut shall be no more than 10 feet in width if accommodating a
single drive, no more than 18 feet in width if accommodating � double driveway.
The common access and utility easement and the five (5) foot wide "pedestrian
area" along the Park Avenue right-of-way shall both remain unobstructed from
improvements.
6. Prior to a Certificate of Occupancy, the owner shall relocate the existing aerial
utility lines underground. Any pedestal or other underground equipment shall be
9
installed on an easement provided by the property owner and not located within a
public or private right-of-way.
' -T The owner is encouraged to relocate the property's mailbox to the north side of
the access easement, next to the other mailboxes, to better accommodate traffic
movements on Park Avenue.
8. Prior to issuance of a building permit, applicant shall comply with all standards of
Section 26.58 Residential Design Standards.
9. Before a building permit is issued, the Zoning Officer will determine if adequate

After reviewing the above referenced application and making a site visit, I am reporting the combined
comments made by the members of the DRC:
1. R-O-W & Encroachments: Access to the property is through the common access and utili,
easement (re -aligned) which lies between Adjusted Parcels I & II (Bibbig Subdivision Exemption). 1 `Ie
access width is adequate although the grade of the driveway exceeds the maximum permissih!c
>rade for driveways meeting public rights -of -way. Fill material should be placed at the i,,c of ih- ac:k: .
driveway in order to reduce the grade of the driveway which will improve visibility for vehicles leavin2>
the property and reduce the need to stop on a steep grade before entering the public right-of-way of Park
Avenue. If the access driveway is paved, it will need to conform to the residential driveway su.in d;iyd-
i.e. maximum width of 18 ft from the property line to the edge of pavement and a maximum of 12'i` slap,
within 20 ft of the property line.
There were no encroachments of the public right-of-way nor access easement observed 'Ibout the
property.
I. Driveways, Parking & Pedestrian Area: Based upon the sketches of the proposedi ADl
the second story over the garage, the proposed driveway at 30 ft in width is too wide for the lot front�ii.); .
' Residential properties in this zone district are permitted to have one (1) driveway curb cut up to trn (I
1 P P
in width for a single width driveway or up to eighteen (18) ft in width for a double width clrivew;ly.

Memo - Frenzel Conditional Usc Review for an ADU and Stream Margin Review
The schematic site plan does not indicate that there is any designated parking space for the ADU on the
✓ property. The ADU parking space will need to be shown on the site plan submitted for the building
permit.
The existing blue spruce and double pine trees along the Park Avenue frontage effectively delineate the
property boundary on this side. No additional development nor large landscaping plants or features
should be placed between the property line and the edge of pavement due to the relatively constricted
road width of Park Avenue adjacent to this property. To reduce traffic congestion at the southerly leg of
the Park Avenue and Regent Street intersection, it would also be desirable to relocate the existing mail
box to the northerly side of the access easement, next to the other mailboxes, where the shoulder of the
Park Avenue is wider. This would move any stationary vehicles stopped beside the mailboxes tlu-ther
north and away from the crest of the rise in Park Avenue adjacent to the corner of this property.
In limiting additional landscaping and relocating the mailbox further northward, a five (5) ft. «ide
"pedestrian area" shall remain unobstructed along the Park Avenue right-of-way. The common access
and utility easement shall remain unobstructed by improvements and landscaping as would a cit,. strec,
right-of-way and improvements shall be approved by the appropriate city departments prior to inst,nation
or development.
The site plan submitted for the building permit shall contain all the information required of a tree reinoval
permit (current tree inventory), driveway location and dimensions, site drainage plan, existing and
proposed easements, landscaping plan, and as further required by Aspen Municipal Code.
3. Sidewalk, Curb & Gutter: This property is located along a pedestrian corridor identif:-d for
eventual development although no immediate plans have been completed. As such, the property owner
shall complete and record a Sidewalk, Curb & Gutter Agreement prior to issuance of the building pen -nit.
4. Trash & Utility Areas: The existing aerial utility service lines will need to be
underarounded during the redevelopment of the lot. Since the two adjacent lots to the west and no::iiwest
are also served by the aerial utility lines emanating from the utility pole located on the southeasterly
property line of this parcel, some arrangement will need to be made with the adjacent property owner(s)
for this work. Similarly, the sanitary sewer service line serving the existing residence to the we.,,t will
need to be relocated. This sanitary sewer line is shown to presently lie under the building footprint at the
southwest corner of the proposed main residence.
The submitted site plan does not indicate locations for new utility services nor trash and recycling storage
areas, although water and electric utility meters and service connection points need to br accessible ic.
service personnel in the completed project and not obstructed by garbage or recycling containers, other
structures or landscaping. If the main utility distribution lines are also relocated or undergrounded, these
should be shown on the data file returned to the GIS office prior to request for the C.O. inspectiori, Any
new surface utilities requiring a pedestal or other above ground equipment must be installed on an

easement provided by the property owner and not located in the public or private rights -of -ways. Any
new easements must be dedicated and recorded by the property owner prior to issuance of the builditiC,
permit. All existing and any new easements for utilities shall be shown on the final improvement plans
submitted for the building permit.
5. Storm Server: This property is located at the lower end of a natural drainage basin defined by S.
Park Circle to the north and Midland Park Place to the northeast and continuing up the shoulder of
Smuggler Mountain between these two streets. Presently a storm sewer bisects the easterly side of this
parcel and lies in the designated building envelope and under the proposed footprints of the buildings. As
such, a new storm sewer easement will need to be dedicated along the westerly property line of this parcel
and the existing storm sewer replaced in the new easement. An easement along the westerly property line
is the preferred location since the new storm sewer may be brought through the existing access and t.ttility
easement north of the parcel then angled toward the Roaring Fork River with the least disturbance to the
site and the easiest access for maintenance, repair and operation. The easement should be at least 15 ft iil
width which would also coincide with the required building setback from the westerly side property line.
The design of the storm sewer line and sewer outfall will need to be reviewed and approved by the Cite
Engineer prior to issuance of the building permit.
A new easement will need to be dedicated and recorded for the storm sewer prior to issuance of a buildim,
permit for the property unless it is to remain a private sewer.
6. Top of Slope Determination: Based upon the contours of the site plan (based upon GIS
topography) and the site visit, it appears that the top of slope lies close to contour line 7,934 which is
approximately 7 to 11 ft further east of the line depicted on the submitted site plan as the top of slope. If
the top of slope were determined to lie 9 ft further east of the depicted line, the end of the roof eave. as
shown on the submitted site section, would lie below the projected 450 height limitation plane however
the cantilevered balcony appears to project approximately 1.5 ft into the 15 ft no development zone
behind the top of slope.
Based upon previous knowledge of the site and topography, slope stability is not expected to be a concern
in this location particularly given the building setback from the top of slope and the reclined building
profile away from the top of slope. However, if adverse soil conditions are identified in the pre -
construction soil investigation or during construction, the foundation and structural framing of the
building should be modified so as to prevent additional loading on the bank slope that may cause slippage
or adverse compaction. Although this property lies on the outside radius of a constricted curve of- the
river, the river channel adjacent to this parcel has passed the narrowest constriction of the curve so the
velocity of the river's current is expected to be decreasing as it leaves the curve rather than increasing iiito
the curve. The property is also in the lower half of the curve rather than at the leading edge so it is less
susceptible to leading edge attack by the river's current. These aspects of the adjacent topography
together with the existing boulders and vegetation along the lower river bank create relatively stable bank
conditions.

DRCM0597.DOC
Memo - Frenzel Conditional Use Review Ibr an ADU and Stream Margin Review
7. Site Drainage: The new development cannot release more than historic (pre -development)
storm run-off from the site and any increase in storm run-off must be first routed and detained on the site.
Given the existing prevailing gradient of the site, the landscape and grading plans need to be coordinated
to minimize erosion and sedimentation during and after development. The building envelope will need to
be delineated by construction fencing incorporating sediment webbing to minimize the erosion potential.
The barrier should be erected and maintained throughout the construction until the later of either the
issuance of the Certificate of Occupancy or completion and establishment of the landscaping.
The drainage plan should minimize introducing additional drainage on to the bank slope, particularly
concentrated flows.
A copy of the soils report must be submitted with the final site development plans. A dtainage plan
completed by a currently registered Colorado civil engineer shall be included in the site development
plans submitted for the building permit(s). (Not shown on submitted application drawings.)
8. Flood Elevation: Although no development has been proposed in the. flood pl;...le, if
development is to be constructed within the flood plane, it will need to meet. the requirements for tlood-
resistant construction; mitigate the constriction impacts upon the flood channel; and the property rcaMer
will need to execute and record a certificate attesting to the fulfillment of these conditions prior to the
issuance of the C.O.
9. Record Drawings: Prior to C.O. issuance, the building permit applicant will be required to
submit to the Aspen/Pitkin County Data Processing Dept. as-builts drawings for the p:,;ject shov.- the
property lines, building footprint, easements, encroachments, entry points, for utilities ,-nterrls'. I e

THRU: George Robinson, Parks Director
FR: John D. Krueger, Trails Supervisor/Parks Department
DATE: January 21, 1997
RE: Frenzel- Stream Margin -ESA & Accessory Dwelling Unit Review
Parcel No. 2737-181-58-001
After review and investigation, the Parks Department offers the following comments on the
application for Stream Margin Review and Accessory Dwelling Unit under the Municipal Code:
26.68.040 Stream Margin.
B.2. Any trail on the parcel designated on the Aspen Area Community Plan,
Parks/Recreation/open Space/Trails Plan map, or areas of historic public use or access are
dedicated via a recorded easement for public use. Dedications are necessitated by
development's increased impacts to the City's recreation and trail facilities including
public fishing access;
The applicant responded:
"There are no designated trails of historic public uses associated with the parcel. "
The River Trail has been a part of the community planning since 1962 when the Aspen Institute
Director -Robert Craig and Fritz Benedict recommended to preserve open space along all this
river corridor. The River Trail has been part of the planning process and various studies and
plans for past 30 years.
While the exact location of the trail has changed due to some of the development, a river trail
corridor along the Roaring Fork River has been a constant desire of the community.
Aspen Area Community Plan(AACP):
The River Trail ia shown on the Aspen Area Community Plan (see attached). It is shown on the
"Pedestrian Trails Plan" map of the AACP as a "primary" and "secondary" commuter trail. It is
shown on the "Bikeways Trails Plan" as a "recreation" trail.
page 2 Frenzel Stream Margin & ADU
Both maps are designed to supplement the "Pedestrian and Bikeway Plan" of 1990 which is
referred to numerous times in the AACP. Both the "Open Space/Recreation and Environment
Action Plan" and the "Transportation Action Plan" section of the AACP list the following as an
action item:
"Implement the recommendations in the Pedestrian and Bikeway System Plan in a phased capital
improvement program".
Parks/Recreation/Open Spice/Trails Element of the AACP:
The River Trail is also shown in the "Parks/Recreation/Open Space/Trails Element" of the
AACP as figure 9 of the same plan map as a trail and pedestrian corridor (see attached). This
was adopted by the Planning and Zoning Commission. This "Element" of the AACP also cross
references the "Roaring Fork Greenway Study" as a guide to be used.
In the "Trails" section, under "Objectives", it lists:
5. "Provide a trail alignment along the river and creeks for use by hikers and fisherman,
especially on the Rio Grande parcel."
14. "Establish a review process that refers development and applications to an agency/council
responsible for addressing the needs of the trails system.."
21. " Revise the subdivision regulations to require the developer to construct or pay for the
construction of the required trails."
In Table 9-"Missing Components of Open Space/Trails System in the Aspen Area" it lists
"Pedestrian/Bicycle/Nordic Trail from Aspen Club to State Highway 82" as a missing link to be
acquired and developed.
B.3. The recommendations of the Roaring Fork River Greenway Plan are implemented in
the proposed plan for development, to the greatest extent practicable.
The applicant responded:
Recommendations of the Roaring Fork Greenway Plan will be implemented to the greatest extent
possible.
There is no detail listed as to how the plan will be implemented. A big part of the Plan is the
River Trail along the Roaring Fork River. The trail is shown on Trails Plan map of "The
Roaring Fork Greenway Plan" ( see attached) as a trail corridor.
page 3 Frenzel Stream Margin & ADU
The Roaring Fork Greenway plan states that:
"A developed trail system throughout the Greenway is essential if the maximum possible
recreational and educational potentials are to be achieved."
B. 11. A landscape plan is submitted with all development applications. Such plan shall
limit new plantings (including trees, shrubs, flowers, and grasses) outside of the designated
building envelope on the river side to native riparian vegetation;
The applicant response:
No landscaping outside of the building envelope is proposed.
No landscaped plan was submitted by the applicant. A landscape plan needs to be submitted for
review of development within and outside of the building envelope. If any trees are to be
effected by any development, the applicant must follow the requirements under the "Municipal
Code, Chapter 13.20, Tree Removal Permits"
B. 14. There has been accurate identification of wetlands and riparian zones.
Applicant response:
Wetlands and riparian zones are below the high water mark.
The applicant does not show any wetlands or riparian zones on site plan. The applicant's
response is incomplete and inaccurate. A Survey for the Parks Department shows almost all of
the wetlands area is above the high water line of the river (see attached).
GENERAL COMMENTS:
1. It appears that the "top of slope" should be at elevation 7936 contour line rather than the
straight line drawn on the plans below the 7930 elevation contour line.
2. The applicant should be advised of the sewer line and storm drain under the building and
building envelope.
3. The applicant should be urged to negotiate with the City for the granting of a trail easement
across their property to help complete the River Trail system
page 4 Frenzel Stream Margin & ADU
M.60.040 Conditional Use -Accessory Dwelling Unit
F. The proposed conditional use complies with all additional standards imposed on it by
the Aspen Area Comprehensive Plan....
fee above comments from Stream Margin regarding the Aspen Area Comprehensive Plan and
the importance of the River Trail completion.
SUMMARY:
The Benedict "River Trail" has been a part of community planning process for a long time. It
has been referenced, described, and mapped in numerous publications and planning guides
through out the last 30 years. It is a critical link in the trails system. We would urge the
applicant to grant a trail easement so that the system could be completed and the dream of Fritz
Benedict and many others realized.

ADU 'VARIANCES
Bill, accompanying this Memo is a copy of Chris Hendon's Memorandum to the
P & Z regarding last nights hearing on the ADU application. Pages 9 & 10 of
Chris' Memo sets forth the conditions adopted by the Planning Commission on
motion to approve the requested variances, with one change which I've noted in
Paragraph I of the Conditions and as explained in this Memo.
The Planning Commission approved the ADU and granted the two set -back
variances. The Commission struggled mightily with the issue of the FAR,
"double bonus" or an additional square footage variant
the detached ADU. Here's the way it came out, as I understand it:
The allowable FAR of 3,732 square feet was approved
500 s.f. Garage, etc.
450 s_f. Detached ADU contributing
3,382 s.f. Single family residence
Total 4,332 s.f. ow ,
There was confusion on the part of the P & Z as to just what was being requested.
However, from the discussion by the P & Z members, it was clear to me that the
above square footages are all that the members were inclined to grant or allow to
be constructed on the lot.
I'lI be out of the office the rest of this week, but if you wish to reach me, leave a
message on my voice mail (925-3476 Ext_ 204) and I'll return your call_
}HFI:19935 vI
FAR: Allowable: 3,732 square feet. Considering the following:
0 250 s.f. of Garage, carport, & storage area not contributing to FAR.
125 250 s.f. of Garage, carport, & storage area contributing 1/2 to FAR.
225 450 s.£ADU contributing 1/2 to FAR (Bonus for detached and

wastes, and zoning and development rights. During the Due
Diligence Period, Buyer or Buyer's designated agents shall have
access to the Real Property for purposes of performing any tests,
analyses, studies or investigations as may be deemed necessary by
Buyer. If Buyer notifies Seller within ten (10) calendar days
following the expiration of the Due Diligence Period that Buyer has

regarding access and the like. Buyer agrees to promptly pay and to
protect, indemnify and hold harmless Seller for any claims, loss,
damage or bills resulting from any tests or investigations made by
Buyer hereunder.
5. Conditions Precedent. The following shall be conditions
precedent to Buyer's obligation to proceed with the provisions of
this Agreement and purchase the Real Property:
�1�
(i) Prior to the expiration of the Due
Diligence Period, Seller agrees to utilize his best
efforts to obtain and record in the Pitkin County records
an instrument which fully and forever terminates the
easement created and established by that certain
Quitclaim Deed recorded March 13, 1962 in Book 197 at
Page 82. Said instrument shall be executed by the
present record owners of the lands benefitted by said
easement.
(ii) Prior to the expiration of the Due
Diligence Period, Seller agrees to utilize his best
efforts to obtain a written agreement from the owner of
the Real Property situated westerly of Seller's adjacent
real property agreeing to (a) the relocation of the
southerly line of the access easement over the Real
Property to a location on the Real Property which is at
least fifteen feet more or less north of the existing
northeasterly corner of Lot 2 as shown of Alpine Surveys'
Job 84-126-3 and which will be north or coincide with the
relocated property line as shown on Exhibit B, attached
hereto, and north of the northerly most evergreen tree so
that the use of the relocated easement will not interfere
with the tree and the growth of the branches of the tree,
and (b) the releasing of record said owner's existing
easement rights over that portion of the Real Property to
be conveyed to Buyer following the boundary line
adjustment provided for herein. Seller, similarly,
hereby agrees to (a) the relocation of Seller's access
easement over the Real Property in the same location as
agreed upon with respect to providing access to the
property to the west of Seller's adjacent property, and
(b) releasing of record Seller's existing easement rights
over the Real Property. The foregoing agreements shall
provide that upon closing, appropriate agreements setting
forth the legal description of the new easement location
shall be entered into and recorded together with
appropriate releases of the existing easements rights
over the Real Property. The relocated easement shall be
non-exclusive in nature and shall permit use by Buyer, if
he so elects.
(iii) Seller shall immediately, after obtaining
the survey to be prepared pursuant to Paragraph 9 below,
apply to the City of Aspen for approval of the boundary
line adjustment as agreed to in this Agreement, the costs
and risks of such application to be borne by Seller.
In the event Seller has not been successful in obtaining or
entering into the agreements described in Subparagraphs (i) and
(ii), during the Due Diligence period, Buyer may notify Seller
within ten (10) calendar days following the expiration of the Due
Diligence Period, that Buyer elects to terminate this Agreement and
Buyer shall be entitled to a prompt return of the Earnest Money
Deposit held by the Title Company and all interest earned thereon,
and the parties shall be relieved from all further obligations
hereunder. Similarly, and if Buyer has not terminated this
Agreement as provided in the prior sentence of this Paragraph 5, if
Seller has not been successful in satisfying the condition set
forth in Subparagraph (iii), above, prior to September 10, 1996,
the date of closing or prior to any extended closing date
hereunder, Buyer may notify Seller that Buyer elects to terminate
this Agreement and Buyer shall be entitled to a prompt return of
the Earnest Money Deposit held by the Title Company and all
interest earned thereon, and the parties shall be relieved from all
further obligations hereunder. If no such notices of termination
are timely given, Buyer shall be deemed to have waived any right to
terminate this Agreement pursuant to this paragraph 5. If Seller
has not accomplished the boundary line adjustment described above
by closing and if Buyer, nevertheless elects to close, then Buyer
shall continue to cooperate with Seller to complete such boundary
line adjustment after closing at Seller's expense. If Seller has,
after reasonable efforts through the City of Aspen Land Use
boundary line adjustment approval procedure, been unable to
accomplish such adjustment, then Buyer shall grant Seller a non-
exclusive yard easement across the northerly portion of the real
property from the new access easement north for benefit of Seller's
property. Said yard easement shall only permit Seller the right to
maintain the easement area as a landscaped, open space area and not
for any other purpose.
6. Removal of Lis Pendens. The parties acknowledge that the
Seller has filed a Rule 105 quiet title suit in the Pitkin County
District Court to remove a cloud from his title to the Real
Property and has recorded a Lis Pendens regarding such suit.
Seller has obtained an order for summary judgment in the trial
court granting him a decree quieting title to the Real Property in
his name. In addition, said judgment has been affirmed by the
Colorado Court of Appeals. A defendant, James C. Blanning, filed a
Motion for Rehearing with the Court of Appeals which was denied by
the Court of Appeals. Seller will continue to vigorously defend
the decree in his favor and to oppose the Petition for a Writ of
.Certiorari to the Colorado Supreme Court filed by Blanning, at
Seller's expense. If requested of Seller, all documents regarding
such litigation shall be made available to Buyer. Prior to the
closing date hereunder, and as an additional condition precedent to
Buyer's obligation to purchase the Real Property (i) Seller shall
obtain a final decision of the Court of Appeals or Colorado Supreme
Court which either dismisses Blanning's entire appeal or which
affirms the judgment of the trial court in all respects, and
(ii) Seller shall release the Lis Pendens of record.
7. Title Insurance. Seller shall obtain from the Title
Company and deliver to Buyer a current commitment (the
"Commitment") for issuance of an ALTA (1990 revision) owner's
policy of title insurance in the amount of $1,000,000.00, showing
good and marketable title to the Real Property [except for the .
cloud being cured by the quiet title suit (i.e., a purported deed
of the Real Property to High Western Development Corp. and from
High Western and R.F. Riverbend, Inc. to James Blanning and a
w �'
purported deed of trust by High Western to Burton) and the Lis
Pendens and the access easements across the property] vested in
Seller within five (5) calendar days following the execution and
delivery of this Agreement. Seller shall also deliver to Buyer a
current Certificate of Taxes Due from the Pitkin County, Colorado,
Treasurer's office. Immediately prior to closing, Seller shall
obtain from the Title Company and deliver to Buyer an updated
Commitment removing the Lis Pendens and the quiet title suit and
all Blanning-related title issues as exceptions or requirements,
and the exceptions for the access easements, and showing no
additional title exceptions, and shall cause the standard printed
Exception Nos. 1-4 to be deleted. As soon as possible after
closing, Seller shall cause the title policy to be delivered and
issued to the Buyer in accordance with such updated Commitment.
Seller shall pay the premium thereon. Should Seller be unable to
obtain such commitment immediately prior to closing, Buyer may
elect to terminate this Agreement by providing written notice of
such election to Seller and receive the Earnest Money Deposit held
by the Title Company.
8. Title. Seller agrees to convey to Buyer good and
marketable title to the Real Property free and clear of all taxes,
liens and encumbrances.
9. Boundary Survey. on or before twenty (20) days from the
date of this Agreement, Buyer shall obtain, at Buyer's expense, a
current boundary survey of the Real Property certified by a
licensed Colorado surveyor for the benefit of Seller, Buyer and the
Title Company. The surveyor shall locate and set all boundary
corners of the Real Property not previously located or set, and
shall monument all boundary corners for visual inspection. The
survey shall depict (i) the correct metes and bounds legal
description of the Real Property, (ii) the location and
identification of each boundary corner, (iii) the exact square
footage of the Real Property, (iv) the location of any and all
easements, rights -of -way, the Roaring Fork River, and any ditches
or laterals, which are revealed by a physical inspection of the
Real Property or by the Commitment, (v) the location of any and all
improvements encroaching onto the Real Property, including without
limitation all buildings, roads, driveways, parking areas, overhead
and underground utility lines (including Seller's underground sewer
line), utility poles and other utility installations, and fences at
or near the perimeter boundaries of the Real Property, (vi) the
100-year flood plain boundary as it affects the Real Property,
(vii) topographical features based on 2-foot contours and
(viii) shall satisfy all City of Aspen Land Use Code requirements
for a plat setting forth a boundary line adjustment. Buyer shall
approve or disapprove the survey and the corners of the Real
Property following receipt of the survey and prior to the lapse of
the forty (40) day Due Diligence period.
10. Title Defects. If the Commitment, or the boundary
survey, reflects the existence of any lien, encumbrance, easement,
encroachment, defect in and/or objection to title, other than the
permitted exceptions for the Lis Pendens and the access and sewer
-5- V'?//
easements (a "Defect"), Buyer shall give written notice to Seller
of any such Defect which Buyer is unwilling to waive as provided in
paragraph 4, above. Buyer shall be deemed to have waived any
Defect not specified in such notice given within such period of
time. Within ten (10) calendar days after the receipt of such
notice, Seller shall give notice to Buyer advising Buyer of whether
Seller intends to cure any such Defect. If Seller declines to cure
any such Defect, then Buyer may, at his option, within ten (10)
calendar days thereafter (a) waive such Defect and proceed with the
transaction pursuant to this agreement, or (b) terminate this
Agreement, in which case the Earnest Money Deposit held by the
Title Company and all interest earned thereon shall be returned to
Buyer. If on the closing date title to the Real Property or any
part thereof is burdened by title defects which have not been
accepted or waived by Buyer pursuant to the provisions hereof,
Buyer shall have the option of (i) waiving such Defects and
proceeding to close the purchase of the Real Property pursuant to
this Agreement, or (ii) terminating this Agreement, in which case
Buyer shall receive a prompt refund of the Earnest Money Deposit
held by the Title Company, all interest earned or accrued thereon,
and the parties shall be relieved from all further obligations
hereunder. Buyer shall exercise such option by written notice
given to Seller no later than 12:00 noon on the date of closing, as
the same may be extended, failing which Buyer shall be deemed to
have elected to proceed to closing.
11. Disclosures Regarding EPA Designation. Buyer
acknowledges receipt of prior and timely disclosure of the fact
that the Real Property is located within the Environmental
Protection Agency Super Fund area and mine tailings may be located
on the Real Property. If so located, such tailings may have to be
covered in accordance with the approved EPA Super Fund mitigation
and remediation requirements for the City of Aspen, Pitkin County,
Colorado. The parties agree that neither the existence of any
hazardous materials on the Real Property nor the location of the
Real Property in the EPA Super Fund area shall constitute a breach
or default of any representation or warranty of Seller, and Buyer
releases Seller from any claims that Buyer may have against Seller
in connection therewith.
12. Disclosure Regarding Sewer Line. Seller hereby discloses
to Buyer that a sewer line traverses the Real Property. Seller and
Buyer agrees to relocate the sewer line, and Seller and Buyer shall
split the cost of the relocation one-half to each, if Buyer
determines that its present location will interfere with Buyer's
intended use of the Real Property. In the event the sewer line
cannot be relocated prior to the date of closing, Seller shall
obtain two estimates of the cost of such relocation and shall
escrow the Seller's share with the Title Company at closing one-
half the average of such estimates plus 20% to cover the cost of
relocation which work shall be done immediately following closing.
13. Closing. This transaction shall close at 12:00 p.m. on
September 10, 1996, or at such other time or earlier date as may be
mutually agreed upon between Seller and Buyer. In the event that
h�
the condition precedent set forth in Paragraph 5(iii) has not been
satisfied by that date, or the updated Commitment delivered to
Buyer does not remove the Lis Pendens and reference to the quiet
title suit, etc. as required by Paragraph 7, above, Buyer shall
have the option, in his sole discretion, of (a) extending the
closing date to a date not later than six (6) months, i.e.
March 15, 1997, or thirty days after the satisfaction of the
condition set forth in Paragraph 5(iii) above, and the delivery of
a satisfactory title insurance commitment, whichever is the
earlier, (b) terminating this Agreement and receiving a prompt
refund of the Earnest Money Deposit held by the Title Company and
all interest earned or accrued thereon, or (c) proceeding to close
this transaction on the scheduled closing date. Buyer shall
exercise such option by written notice given to Seller no later
than 12:00 noon on the date of closing, failing which Buyer shall
be deemed to have elected to proceed to closing.
If Buyer elects to extend the closing date to March 15,
1997, and on said extended closing date the conditions listed in
Paragraphs 5(iii) and 7 have still not been satisfied, Buyer shall
once again have the same options as are described in subparagraphs

RE: Bibbig Subdivision Exemption - Lot Line Adjustment
Gentlemen:

(970)963-3900
FACSIMILE
(970)963-3131
I have revised Dieter Bibbig's Application for the Lot Line Adjustment which had been submitted
September 5, 1996 to reflect the fact that, at the City Attorney's request, we had deleted from the
Plat the third parcel owned by Mr. Bibbig which is adjacent to the two parcels involved in this
Lot Line Adjustment. Mr. Worcester suggested it be deleted since it was not involved in this Lot
Line Adjustment. This deletion resulted in a different numbering of the parcels involved in the
Lot Line Adjustment. What was initially referred to as Parcel III is now numbered Parcel II. The
Lot Line Adjustment Plat has now finally been approved by the Engineering Department.
We would appreciate it if this lot line adjustment could be approved as soon as possible, since
we've had a four month delay getting it approved by Engineering and we've had to continue a
planned closing several times already. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
Very truly yours,

Subdivision
Dear Messrs. Clauson and Nevins:
This Amended Application seeks approval by the Planning Director for a lotline adjustment
pursuant to Section 26.88.030A.1. and B. An application fee of $450.00 was tendered with the

amended in the course of review by Engineering and what was previously referred to as Parcel
III is now referred to as Parcel II.
1. Applicant's Information
The Applicant for this lot line adjustment is Dieter Bibbig, the owner of both parcels of
land involved:

PARCEL I
A tract of land situated in the SW 1/4 SE 1/4 of Section 7 and in the NW IA NE 1/4 of Section 18, Township 10 South, Range 84 West
of the 6th P.M., Pitkin County, Colorado. Said tract is part of the Lone Pine Lode U.S.M.S. 1910, part of the Mollie Gibson Lode
U.S.M.S. 4281 and part of Lot 1, Sunny Park Subdivision and is more fully described as follows: Beginning at a point on the

acres, more or less.
Ownership Disclosure
The owner of both parcels of land involved in this lot line adjustment is Dieter Bibbig.
The southeasterly most parcel, designated Parcel I in this Application, was created by a previous
lot line adjustment approved by the Planning & Zoning Commission August 8, 1973, shown as
the "Drew" parcel on the Plat recorded at Plat Book 4, Page 398, a copy of which is attached
hereto as Exhibit B. The northeasterly parcel designated Parcel II in this application was the east
half of the "Bibbig" parcel on the previous lot line adjustment plat (Exhibit B). The Court Order
dividing the "Bibbig" Parcel, along the access easement in accordance with Gertrude Bibbig's Will
was entered July 22, 1980 (Exhibit C), later recorded as Reception No. 397141. The deed from
the Estate of Gertrude Bibbig to Dieter Bibbig for Parcel H was recorded in Book 398 at
Page 64(Exhibit D). There are no liens or encumbrances against Parcel I, the parcel to be reduced
by the requested boundary line adjustment. The following Deeds of Trust encumber Parcel II,
the parcel to be increased by the requested boundary line adjustment: Deeds of Trust at Book
706, Page 888 to secure Thatcher Bank $150,000.00; Book 677, Page 829 to secure Norwest
Bank $30,000.00, re -recorded at Book 727, Page 234. There is a Contract between the Applicant
and Otto Frenzel for a sale of Parcel I as it is to be adjusted by this lot line adjustment application

b. All land owners whose lot lines are being adjusted shall provide written
consent to the Application. Applicant is the owner of both of the parcels involved in this lot line
adjustment.
C. It is demonstrated that the request is to address a specific hardship. The
specific hardship being addressed is that the existing boundary line is within several feet of the
front steps of the house on Parcel II and mere inches from the existing wood deck. Given the
house location on Parcel II and the access driveway dividing Parcel I, it is impractical to have the
boundary in its current location. Relocating the boundary as proposed allows the land that
surrounds and relates to the house on Parcel II to become part of that parcel and allows the natural
dividing line of the access easement to function as the appropriate boundary between Parcel I and
Parcel II.
d. The corrected plat will meet the standards of this chapter, and conform to
the requirements of this title including the dimensional requirements of the zone district in which
the lots are located except in cases of an existing non -conforming lot in which the adjustment
shall not increase the non -conformity of the lot. The reduced size of Parcel I (i.e., 13,740 square
feet) will still exceed the minimum lot size for the R-6 PUD zone district for allowed duplex or
single-family uses and the increase to the size of Parcel II will make that lot size conforming with
the zone. Parcel II currently comprises 6,852 square feet, which is sufficient to comply with the
6,000 square foot minimum lot size in the R-6 zone, but is non -conforming for a duplex lot which
requires 9,000 square feet. The lot line adjustment as contemplated would make this lot
conforming, as it would then exceed the 9,000 square feet required for the existing duplex in that
zone. Also, the side yard setback for the duplex on Parcel H, will be made conforming by the lot
line adjustment.
e. It is demonstrated that the lot line adjustment will not affect the development
rights s or permitted density of the affected lots by providing the opportunity to create a new lot for
resale or redevelopment. The lot line adjustment will not affect the density. Parcel H is fully
developed with a duplex residence. Parcel I is being reduced in size, but not below the minimum
lot size allowed by the district for a duplex or single-family uses. No new lot for resale or
development is being created by the lot line adjustment.

Exhibit E.
5. Parcel Survey
A Lot Line Adjustment Plat, including parcel legal descriptions both before and after the
adjustment, easements, topography and vegetation and showing the existing and the existing and
proposed boundary line and easement location, certified by a registered land surveyor, is attached
hereto as Exhibit F.
6. Proposed Lot Line Adjustment Criteria
As seen on the Lot Line Adjustment Plat (Exhibit F), the proposed lot line adjustment is
to rotate the most northerly part of the northwesterly sideline of Parcel I (north of the angle point)
clockwise and move the terminus point of that boundary line southerly along Park Avenue. This
would decrease the acreage of Parcel I from 16,774 square feet to 13,747 square feet. The
existing duplex on Parcel II installed many years ago, does not meet current side yard setbacks,
and the more logical and appropriate boundary between Parcels I and II should be along the
access easement. To relocate the boundary between Parcels I & II to the revised access easement
will allow the existing house on Parcel II to have the land north of the access easement as a yard
and will make Parcel H more in conformance with zoning by creating an adequate side yard
setback.
The standards for a lot line adjustment, found in Chapter 26.88.030A.1., and the
compliance by this Application with such standards are as follows:
a. It is demonstrated that the request is to correct an engineering or survey
error in a recorded plat, or is to permit an insubstantial boundary chanize between adiacent
parcels. This Application meets the second part of that standard, since it is an insubstantial
boundary change between adjacent parcels. The proposal is to remove 3,000 square feet from
Parcel I and add that square footage to Parcel II.
