Revised January 8, 2021 2 Minutes Aspen Planning and Zoning Commission May 4, 2021 Page 1 of 7 Chairperson McKnight called the regularmeeting to order at 4:30 PM. Commissioners in attendance: Brittanie Rockhill, James Marcus, Rally Dupps, Teraissa McGovern, and Spencer McKnight. Ruth Carver joined at 4:32 pm. Commissioners not in attendance: Scott Marcoux Staff in Attendance: Amy Simon, Planning Director Garrett Larimer, Senior Planner Kevin Rayes, Planner Carly McGowan, Engineering Project Manager Kate Johnson, Assistant City Attorney Cindy Klob, Records Manager COMMISSIONER COMMENTS None STAFF COMMENTS Ms. Simon announced this will the last meeting for Mr. Marcus because he is moving out of the City. She added Ms. Brown-Schirato has also moved out of the City and has resigned from the commission. Mr. Sam Rose was recently appointed by City Council and will be joining the commission at the next meeting. PUBLIC COMMENTS None APPROVAL OF MINUTES None DECLARATION OF CONFLICT OF INTEREST Ms. Carver said she is very familiar with the Aspen Center for Environmental Studies but feels she is not personally involved in the hearing for tonight and can be fair and impartial. 3 Minutes Aspen Planning and Zoning Commission May 4, 2021 Page 2 of 7 PUBLIC HEARINGS Mr. McKnight asked if proper notice was made for both hearings. Ms. Johnson replied proper notice was provided for both hearings. She also noted the ACES hearing had previously been continued and those previous dates were also noticed. Aspen Center for Environmental Studies (ACES): Minor amendment to a Planned Development-Project Review, Growth Management, Stream Margin and Commercial Design Review Mr. McKnight opened the hearing and turned the floor over to staff for a high-level review. Mr. Bret Lohr, Forum Phi, introduced himself and Ryan Walterscheid, Forum Phi, as representing the applicant and the hearing. He also introduced Jim Kravitz, ACES Naturalist Programs Director and Chris Lane, ACES CEO. Mr. Lohr provided background of ACES and the application. As part of their 50-year anniversary, they have raised funds to renovate and upgrade two of the existing buildings for better utilization for their employees and the public and to renovate the entrance to the property. He displayed a map of the area and identified the location of the property, its entrance and primary structures and land features. Of the seven buildings on the property, four house employees and three are used for public and employee use. One building houses birds. He then displayed a site plan and identified the three scopes of the project. One is providing a drop-off area and a turn-around area for buses at the entrance. Another area to be modified is the existing visitor center. The third area is to add dormers to the bird of prey building where they house birds and staff has office space. Mr. Lohr displayed pictures of the current entrance at the end of Puppy Smith St. He stated the area does not drain well and does not have drop-off area for the children. Providing a drop-off area will be safer for the children. They also want to continue a bike path from the Rio Grande Trail down to the entrance. He displayed a site plan showing the existing entrance, the proposed turn-around and trees to be removed. Next, he displayed a picture of the current front of the visitor center. Then he displayed a rendering with the proposed addition of approximately 800 SF to the gable to the right of the front entrance and a proposed deck renovation on the left side of the building. The proposed addition will expand the lecture hall and provide an improved office space area on the second floor. They are proposing to reshape the deck on the building to provide handicap access to the preserve and provide a sitting lecture area on one side of the deck. Mr. Lohr displayed a picture of Bird of Prey Building, pointing out the location of cages for birds and the second floor where staff has offices. He provided a rendering showing the location of the proposed dormers which will make better use of the existing office space on the second floor. Mr. Lohr displayed a site plan and noted the Bird of Prey Building and the proposed addition to the Visitor Center is located in the stream margin. 4 Minutes Aspen Planning and Zoning Commission May 4, 2021 Page 3 of 7 He then displayed a rendering of the building with the proposed dormers to show the increased office space and the location of the top of slope which does not encroach on the building. Mr. then displayed a tree mitigation plan. He stated ACES will be working with the City’s Forestry Department to avoid all mitigation fees by offsetting the removed trees with new trees. Mr. McKnight asked if there were any questions of the applicant. Mr. Dupps asked how many trees will be removed and is there a schedule of the type and size of the trees. Mr. Lohr stated there is a schedule and they are working with the City to minimize the number of trees to be removed. Mr. Kravitz said he has been working with the City on methods to replant trees, documenting this process and sharing it with the City. He pointed out on the Tree Mitigation Plan Overview the locations where trees are to be removed and where there would be new ones planted including the East Meadow and Mushroom Property South. Mr. Lohr stated currently they are planning to remove about 30 trees. Ms. McGovern asked how many trees would be removed for the parking lot. Mr. Lohr replied the parking lot is no longer part of the project. Ms. Carver remarked it was in the agenda packet and felt it would be a great asset. Mr. Lohr stated because the amount of parking gained by the number of trees that would have to be removed was too great. Many visitors walk or bike to ACES. Mr. Kravitz stated they realized they needed a turn-around for vehicles to get in and out safely. Mr. McKnight then turned the floor over to staff. Mr. Rayes noted the review today is conceptual and the project will return to P&Z in the future of a detailed review. He wanted to make sure Mr. Dupps understood this regarding the tree mitigation plan. The draft resolution calls for a tree mitigation plan as well as a landscaping and drainage plan before the detailed review. Mr. Rayes reviewed the project, noting it was located in the Academic Zone District and is located next to the Roaring Fork River. He reviewed the location of the structures and entranceon a site plan. He stated before 1997, ACES was annexed into the City and memorialized in a specially planned area (SPA) which is now referred to as a planned development (PD). He stated approval of the conceptual and detail plan will provide details of the building that are not currently documented. Mr. Rayes displayed a photo of the entrance showing cars parked and noted walking up to the entrance can be stressful. There currently is a tight turn-around entrance to Aspen. He provided a site plan of the proposed turn-around. Mr. Rayes noted in the current Bird of Prey building the head room is tight on the second floor and not a lot of natural light comes through the single windows on each side. The dormers will improve the experience. The existing footprint will not be changed. 5 Minutes Aspen Planning and Zoning Commission May 4, 2021 Page 4 of 7 Mr. Rayes then displayed photos of the first and second floor of the visitor’s center. He stated it’s a tight space. He showed a site plan where the new addition slightly encroaches the Stream Margin Review Area by 10-15 FT. He also displayed existing and proposed elevations from the north and south. Mr. Rayes next discussed the review criteria. He noted the Academic Zone District does not have any dimensional descriptions, so they are evaluated on a case by case basis. He stated there is one criterion regarding pedestrian, bicycle, and transit facilities. Staff feels this criterion has been met. He noted the proposed turn-around is located adjacent to the Jenny Adair Wetlands which is intended to remain open space. He stated there are several easements on the wetlands to accommodate storm water infrastructure. The City is currently working with ACES on a development agreement. Mr. Rayes then reviewed the criteria for the Stream Margin Review and stated the application meets the criteria. Mr. Rayes stated in regard to the Growth Management Review, ACES is considered an essential public facility based on decision by the Pitkin County Board of County Commissioners which doesn’t typically require as many FTEs as a private development. FTEs are assigned on a case by case basis. The applicant is proposing no new FTEs will be created based on the proposed expansion. Staff agrees there will be no new FTEs as a result of the additions but there is a condition for approval in the draft resolution for the applicant to provide a baseline calculation of existing employed FTEs on the site and audits at two years and five years after the certificate of occupancy has been issued. Mr. Rayes then covered the conceptual Commercial Design Review which establishes the mass, height, and scale of a project. He discussed criterion 1.12 and stated staff finds the criterion to be met. He stated in conclusion staff is supportive of all the reviews. Mr. McKnight asked the commissioners if they had any questions at this time. Ms. McGovern stated the layout of the stairs appear to be changing. Mr. Rayes responded the stairs will be a slightly different configuration and may be pushed out slightly. She does not feel there is a good ADA access inside the building due to multiple levels in the lecture hall. Mr. Rayes was not aware of the interior step and will make sure it is referred to the Building Department. Her concern is if they had to mitigate it outside, then it would impact the stream margin. Mr. Rayes responded they would make sure this is covered in the detail review. Mr. Dupps asked if this request is part of a larger project. Mr. Rayes stated there is another project that will be coming forward in the next few months. He added it is on the ACES property and unrelated to the buildings. He stated the City Engineering department is working with ACES on mitigation efforts for Hallam Lake. Ms. McGowan, City Engineer Project Manager, responded it is early in the project so there are no details at this time. Mr. McKnight then opened for public comment. Seeing none, he then closed public comment. 6 Minutes Aspen Planning and Zoning Commission May 4, 2021 Page 5 of 7 Mr. McKnight then opened commissioner discussion. Mr. Dupps stated he does not see any issues with the Growth Management or Commercial Design portions of the application. He does have concerns with the tree mitigation, turn-around and stream margin review. He feels because this property is a beloved community asset, it needs to be held to the highest standards. He doesn’t feel replacing 30 trees with seedlings is the right move. He is fine adding the dormers to the Bird of Prey building, but otherwise he is not a fan what is being proposed. Ms. Rockhill stated she trusts if the City is fine with the tree mitigation, then she is supportive of the application. Ms. Carver feels it is a wonderful proposal and is in support of it. She stated it’s a wonderful resource but it’s dangerous to drop off kids. She is supportive of the turnaround and believe the proposed changes to the buildings will be a great asset to the public and staff. Mr. Marcus agrees with Ms. Carver. He feels the entrance is a safety issue with cars backing up and not seeing the kids and should be addressed. He feels the proposed changes will allow them to reach more people. Ms. McGovern thinks the amendment to the PD will allow them to work with Staff to obtain the normal PD regulations on the record such as dimensional requirements. She has no issues with the Growth Management review. She has some concern about the Stream Margin Review but feels ACES has spent the necessary time and effort to ensure the changes are not detrimental to the property and surrounding environment. She is fine with the Commercial Design Review. She feels the entrance needs to be addressed but she is concerned about the number of trees to be removed. She hopes trees will be added for screening and hopes the City recommends larger trees in some locations and not just saplings. She is supportive of the application. Mr. McKnight agrees with the majority of the commissioners and is supportive of the application. Mr. Dupps believes the turn-around will actually increase vehicular traffic to the area including traffic not related to visiting ACES. Mr. Marcus motioned to approve Resolution Number 4, Series 2021, as written by staff. Ms. McGovern seconded the motion. Mr. McKnight requested a roll call: Ms. Rockhill, yes; Mr. Dupps, no; Ms. Carver, yes; Ms. McGovern, yes; Mr. Marcus, yes; Mr. McKnight, yes; for a total of five (5) in favor – one (1) not in favor. The motion passed. Mr. McKnight thanked staff and the applicant. 7 Minutes Aspen Planning and Zoning Commission May 4, 2021 Page 6 of 7 Limelight Hotel - Change in Use Mr. McKnight opened the hearing and turned the floor over to staff. Mr. Larimer provided a summary of the Aspen Skiing Company (ASC) project stating the original Planned Development for the North Parcel with 125 lodge rooms and one free market residential unit was approved in 2006. The applicant is requesting to change the single free market residential unit to a lodge unit. The previous owners used the unit as their residence. The new owners want to include the unit in the lodging base. Their proposal would formally reduce the number of free market residential units from 15 to 14 and increase the lodge units from 125 to 126. Mr. Larimer then reviewed the Change in Use Review criteria and displayed a floor plan indicating the location of the unit. Staff has found the review criteria to be met. He added there is an active building permit in for administrative planned development review for the renovation of the lodge that is separate from this review. Staff is very supportive of the request. He noted resolution was drafted with the unit identified as number 419 and it was platted as number 414 so this correction will be made in the final version of the resolution. Mr. McKnight asked the commissioners for questions of staff. There were none so he turned it over to the applicant. Mr. Gert Van Moorsel, Sr. Director of Design and Construction for ASC introduced himself and then provided a history and the reasons for requesting the change of use which included aligning the unit with the future Aspen Skiing Company operating practices and uses. Mr. Van Moorsel reiterated the original owners and their family used the unit when they were in town. He added they also have an Interior Finish and Furnishings Removal (IFFR) permit from the City. During the review for the permit, it came to light the residential use was not consistent with how it should have been, so ASC changed the use for guests for 30 days or more. He displayed a floor plan and indicated the location of the unit as well as a floor plan of the unit. He stated ASC will use credit for mitigating the affordable housing requirement. Mr. McKnight asked the commissioners for questions of the applicant. Ms. Carver asked if Poss and Worley were the original owners of the Limelight. Mr. Van Moorsel believed they owned the Limelight since the early 1950’s and built the current hotel in 2006. Ms. McGovern asked if the plat needs to be updated with the updated unit number. Mr. Larimer replied it would be in the best interest of ASC and the City if an amended plat was on record. The other permitted changes should also be wrapped up in an updated plat and could be added as a condition of approval. Ms. McGovern replied she would like for it to be added to the resolution. Mr. Van Moorsel stated ASC would be willing to memorialize it in some manner. Mr. Larimer responded it could be 8 Minutes Aspen Planning and Zoning Commission May 4, 2021 Page 7 of 7 identified as the ‘platted unit’ in the documentation to clarify it. Ms. McGovern said that would be okay and seems rolling all the changes from this review and the IFFR permit into one would be appropriate. Mr. McKnight then opened for public comment. Seeing none, he then closed public comment. Mr. McKnight opened for commissioner discussion. Mr. Dupps stated he is in favor of the application without any conditions. Mr. McKnight asked if anyone was opposed to the application. Ms. Carver is in favor of the application. She asked the SF of the room. Mr. Van Moorsel replied it is 1,200 SF. Mr. Marcus stated it meets the review criteria and Ms. McGovern, Mr. McKnight, and Ms. Rockhill agreed. Ms. McGovern motioned to approve Resolution Number 5, Series 2021, as amended to include the platted unit 414. Ms. Carver seconded the motion. Mr. McKnight requested a roll call: Ms. Rockhill, yes; Mr. Marcus, yes; Mr. Dupps, yes; Ms. Carver, yes; Ms. McGovern, yes; Mr. McKnight, yes; for a total of six (6) in favor – zero (0) not in favor. The motion passed. Mr. McKnight thanked staff and the applicant. OTHER BUSINESS None Mr. McKnight thanked staff and the applicant. He then asked for a motion to adjourn. Mr. Marcus motioned to adjourn and was seconded by Ms. McGovern. All in favor and the meeting was adjourned at 6:06 pm. Cindy Klob, Records Manager 9 Minutes Aspen Planning and Zoning Commission May 18, 2021 Page 1 of 7 Chairperson McKnight called the regularmeeting to order at 4:30 PM. Commissioners in attendance: Brittanie Rockhill, Rally Dupps, Sam Rose, Scott Marcoux, Teraissa McGovern, Spencer McKnight and Ruth Carver (4:39pm). Staff in Attendance: Amy Simon, Planning Director Garrett Larimer, Sr Planner Kate Johnson, Assistant City Attorney Cindy Klob, Records Manager COMMISSIONER COMMENTS Mr. McKnight noted Mr. Rose’s presence at the meeting and welcomed him the Planning and Zoning Commission (P&Z). Mr. Rose thanked him. STAFF COMMENTS Ms. Simon asked Mr. Rose to introduce himself which he did. Ms. Simon also stated tonight will be the last meeting for Mr. Dupps because he is relocating out of the City. She thanked him for his many years of service on several City boards. PUBLIC COMMENTS None APPROVAL OF MINUTES None DECLARATION OF CONFLICT OF INTEREST None PUBLIC HEARINGS Mr. McKnight asked if proper notice was provided for both hearings. Ms. Johnson stated proper notice was provided. 225 Smuggler St – Residential Design Standard (RDS) Variations Mr. McKnight turned the floor over to Staff for a high-level review of the applications. Mr. Larimer introduced the application as a redevelopment of a single-family residence on a 6,000 SF lot in the R-6 (moderate density) Zoned District. He noted they comply with all design standards except two which they are requesting variations for the articulation of building mass (non-flexible variation) and the window placement standard (flexible 10 Minutes Aspen Planning and Zoning Commission May 18, 2021 Page 2 of 7 variation). He noted typically the window placement is an administrative review, but staff is combining the reviews for efficiency. He then reviewed the two criteria for the RDS variation review. Mr. Larimer first reviewed the standard for the articulation of building mass. He reviewed the following three options provided for compliance with the standard and the intent statement of the standard. He added this standard applies to all lots in the Infill Area. Option 1: Maximum Sidewall Depth of 50 FT sidewall max and no additional design restrictions Option 2: Off-set with one-story ground level connector with the one-story connector within 45 FT of front most wall, setback 5 FT from either side and a minimum 10 FT distance between the two elements. Option 3: One story step down at the rear of the property with a step down within 45 FT of front most wall and setbacks of 5 FT from primary structure sidewall. Mr. Larimer next reviewed the standard and intent for the window replacement. He then outlined the three general intent statements for the RDS. 1) Connect to the street regarding residential character 2) Respond to the Neighboring Properties regarding setbacks and context 3) Reflect Traditional Building Scale providing a human scale and not overwhelming neighboring properties Mr. McKnight asked the commissioners if they had any questions for staff. Seeing none, he then turned the floor over to the applicant. Mr. Carson Davis, EYRC Architects, introduced himself as representing the applicant. He noted the owners selected this site because they really loved the character of the neighborhood and the scale of the houses, it’s location adjacent to a park, and it’s views of Red Mountain to the north and Aspen Mountain to the south. He displayed an elevation of the proposed front side of the residence from the park across the street (north). He stated they wanted a house that fits their needs as well as fits the scale of the neighborhood. The design uses a simple material palette with heavy stone walls at the base with lighter volumes above to help break down the mass and relate to the scale of the neighborhood. The different masses are built with different materials to articulate them. He pointed out the large window on the second story and a smaller window downstairs to provide views of the park with more privacy. He also pointed out the entrance on the right side and the location of the windows requiring the variation. A set of north facing windows cover the stairs which are set back from the front façade, providing a one-story element. In order to bring as much light into the stairs as possible, the stairs are enclosed in glass which is then covered with a perforated metal to obscure the stairs. He stated there will be a horizontal mullion in the window, but it will be hidden by the metal screens. Mr. Carson-Davis next displayed an elevation of the east side of the proposed residence. He pointed out the length of the mass on the second story that is longer than the RDS guidelines. He added the actual 11 Minutes Aspen Planning and Zoning Commission May 18, 2021 Page 3 of 7 enclosed area is only 50 FT long with extensions to accentuate the front façade and articulate the mass. He pointed out a set of windows on the side. Mr. Carson-Davis then displayed an elevation showing the back of the building. He pointed out a step between the upper and lower levels breaking down the mass. He stated the façade will not be visible straight on except for the next-door neighbor because it is screened by a row of Hemlocks on the neighbor’s property. There is a mix of materials used and there is a four FT overhang on the back of the building. Mr. McKnight asked the commissioners if there were any questions of the applicant. Mr. Dupps asked if they are pursuing option 2 or 3, they could achieve the 45 FT length by removing the overhangs so why do they feel the need to request the variance. Mr. Carson-Davis stated the overhang on the south side will provide protection from the sun and elements. He stated for the overhang on the front side, it helps to articulate the masses, block the elements, and provides a little privacy on the second floor. Mr. McKnight then turned the floor over to staff. Mr. Larimer stated Staff has not found any site-specific constraints prohibiting compliance with the RDS, so Staff investigated if a design alternative was provided to meet the intent. Mr. Larimer displayed a plan view of the proposed residence and pointed out the side wall on the west side measures just under 44FT before it steps down. There is also a five FT setback measuring at least 10 FT. The west side of the structure complies with Option 2. On the east side, the length measures 54 FT which exceeds the 45 FT maximum. There is a 13 FT setback from the primary side wall. He noted the key was determining if the east façade met the overall intent. He believes there are some design elements to help provide articulation on both sides. He stated there is a one-story garage accessed off the alley with a primary two-story mass to the front of the building which aligns with Option 3. Mr. Larimer displayed a couple of renderings of the front and back of the building and an elevation of the east façade. There is a 79 FT overall length of the first floor including the garage. He pointed out the multiple setbacks located on first and second floors as well as the stair element and entry. He then displayed renderings showing the east façade. Staff agrees although it exceeds the 45 FT maximum, there are design elements including the materials, variation of the wall plane and fenestration to help break up the façade. Staff also feels the setback to the garage is larger than what is typically required. In viewing all of this information together, Staff believes this façade and the entire design does meet the intent of the articulation of building mass standard. Staff is supportive of a variation for the articulation of the building mass standard. Mr. Larimer then discussed the variation for the window placement. He displayed a plan view and pointed to the location of the windows. He stated the standard requires no window exceed 10 FT. The proposed window measures 21.5 FT. The reviewed the intent regarding expanses of vertical glass on a 12 Minutes Aspen Planning and Zoning Commission May 18, 2021 Page 4 of 7 street facing façade. Next, he displayed a few additional perspectives of the window located on the front façade. He stated Staff has found the screen in front of the window and the mullion provide some articulation even though it is not enough to comply outright with the standard. Staff also feels the entry feature helps to provide some demarcation between the stories. Staff feels the intent of the window standard is met even though the window exceeds the allowable height. Staff is supportive of a variation of the window placement. In closing, Staff is recommending approval of the resolution. Mr. McKnight asked the commissioners if there were any questions of staff. Ms. McGovern asked if the 54 FT is a little misleading and she feels it should be 59 FT. Mr. Larimer responded for articulation of mass, the length is measured from the front most wall to the rear most wall. She asked why the overhang in the rear is included but the overhang in the front is not included. Mr. Larimer stated the measurement should state 50 FT noting architectural projections are not included in the measurement. He added he would correct the resolution prior to signing. Ms. Carver doesn’t see how the massing and articulation conveys form similar to historic residential homes in the area. Mr. Larimer stated Staff’s finding determined the west side façade meets the articulation of building mass standard. On the east façade, it doesn’t meet the 45 FT maximum sidewall, but generally the building form with the step downs at the front and rear and the primary two-story mass forward, step downs on both the sidewall and height is consistent with residential architectural development patterns in Aspen. He added it is not consistent with the RDS dimensional requirement for Option 3. Staff considered other items besides the length to determine the intent was met. Ms. Simon added Aspen has two Historic Districts, one is Main St and one is downtown. She added these are the only places in town where there is a requirement for a development to fit into a neighborhood. So, this house can be developed with any style as long as it meets the RDS. Mr. McKnight then opened for public comment. Seeing none, he closed public comment. Mr. McKnight opened commissioner discussion. Mr. Dupps wondered if length requirement should be increased to 50 FT or if there was another way to handle these types of applications so the applicants would not have to come before P&Z. He feels it is a fine piece of architecture. He is supportive of the application. Mr. McKnight agreed the board has been seeing some good projects, but also feels there is a reason for P&Z to review these projects. Ms. McGovern stated the comments brought up by Mr. Dupps should be a discussion outside of this hearing. She does not feel it should be brought up in front of the applicant and as part of the discussion, she feels the design requirements drive better architecture because it forces them to articulate the mass to meet the intent. She feels having a defined threshold and the review mechanism helps to drive better architecture. She doesn’t feel it would be a quick process to change the RDS. 13 Minutes Aspen Planning and Zoning Commission May 18, 2021 Page 5 of 7 Ms. McGovern stated in regard to the application, she feels the window and the stairs meet the intent. The mullion and screen help as well as its position set back from the front of the building. For the east side wall, she believes it meets the intent with the articulation. She feels it meets the intent. Ms. Carver agrees with Ms. McGovern regarding P&Z’s variation review process. She believes applications will always ask for more length than what is allowed. She thinks its an interesting building, but she cannot agree with the increased height of the window. She believes the architecture could easily be changed to eliminate the need for a variance. She is not supportive of the window. Mr. Marcoux agrees with the other commissioners regarding the review process and feels applicants will always ask for more. He added perhaps if the RDS is modified, a hard no could be used for applications exceeding the length. He likes the architecture of the project. Mr. Rose feels the application does meet the intent but agrees with Ms. Carver regarding the window. Mr. McKnight asked for another image to be provided showing the window. He agrees the applicant did a creative job meeting the intent. He is in favor of the application. Mr. Carson-Davis provided another view and stated they are allowed to have the tall windows on the side of the structure. They have a horizontal mullion on the side, and they intend to plant Aspen trees on the side. They want to continue the horizontal mullion around to the front. They felt with the metal screening it wouldn’t be that visible. They could add a one FT band on the front to make it comply with the standard, but it wouldn’t change the exterior esthetic much and you would have a similar light bleed. From the interior, they feel it keeps a nice horizontal alignment. Ms. Rockhill likes the design and feels it meets the criteria for a variance. Mr. Rose feels it meets the intent and is in favor of the variance. Ms. Carver stated she will never vote for a variance on windows. The light bleed is fierce and needs to be addressed in Aspen. She is opposed to the request. Ms. McGovern motioned to approve the Resolution Number 6, Series 2021, approving a variation to the Articulation of Building Mass and Window Placement Residential Design Standard, in order to redevelop the property with a single-family residence, as depicted in exhibit A of the resolution. Mr. Rose seconded the motion. Ms. McGovern amended her motion to clarify the resolution to include the correction of the length and was seconded by Ms. Rockhill. Mr. McKnight requested a roll call: Mr. Dupps, yes; Ms. Carver, no; Mr. Rose, yes; Mr. Marcoux, yes; Ms. McGovern, yes; Ms. Rockhill, yes; Mr. McKnight, yes; for a total of six (6) in favor – one (1) not in favor. The motion passed. Mr. McKnight thanked the applicant and staff. 14 Minutes Aspen Planning and Zoning Commission May 18, 2021 Page 6 of 7 Silver Circle Ice Rink – Minor Amendment to Detailed Review Mr. McKnight turned the floor over to Staff for a high-level review of the applications. Ms. Simon stated the Silver Circle Ice Rink is a public amenity that was required as part of the Aspen Mountain Planned Development (PD) approval. The applicant was allowed some waived fees and other items in exchange for the ice rink. The Grand Hyatt owns the site and is responsible for general maintenance and they lease out to CP Burger. The Environmental Protection Agency phased out the coolant used for the ice cooler. A synthetic surface was proposed as a long-term replacement and used for one year. After community complaints were received regarding the functionality and overall experience with the synthetic surface, the applicant proposed using a chiller which has been sitting in the corner of the property for the past two years. City Council allowed the use of this chiller under a temporary use that has been extended a couple of times. The applicant wants to permanently use the onsite chiller. City Council wants the ice rink to be functional and available. Mr. Bendon, Bendon Adams, stated the original chiller system is no longer usable. The current chiller is a rental put in place next to the rink and has worked really well. Originally there were concerns about the noise and the aesthetics of the chiller next to the rink, but it was found to not be noisy because it is air cooled and the aesthetics is still a work in progress. The Condo Association originally purchased and used a synthetic surface but the approval for it has been revoked. There is a pending appeal of that decision which is on hold. Now the temporary rented chiller has been used and the applicant would like to make it permanent. Mr. Bendon displayed pictures of the current temporary chiller which is surrounded by a wooden fence. The applicant would like to make the surround a brick structure similar to other features on the property. The Condo Association is looking to purchase a chiller because the temporary one is not available for purchase. The new unit will be installed slightly lower than the temporary one so it will not be as visible. He stated this request is to make an amendment to the PD for the location to be permanent. He stated this unit is much more efficient than the original cooler which was water cooled and located in the parking garage. He noted you used to see a large steam plume coming out of the CP Burger building from the original cooler in the garage. Mr. Bendon identified Bob Weisman as the lead board member for the project, John Brilbeck as another board member, Jamie Champagne as the interim property manager and Tim Williams as the incoming property manager. He stated they may be on the call. Mr. McKnight asked the commissioners if there were any questions of the applicant. Mr. McKnight asked why they decided to place the new one beside the rink instead of the garage. Mr. Bendon stated if the new one was in the garage; it would have to be custom built in place. With the reduced expense and reduced energy usage, the Condo Association decided it’s best to locate the new unit next to the rink. 15 Minutes Aspen Planning and Zoning Commission May 18, 2021 Page 7 of 7 Mr. McKnight then turned the floor over to staff. Ms. Simon stated Staff is recommending approval and she reviewed the conditions included in the draft resolution. Mr. McKnight asked the commissioners if there were any questions of Staff. Mr. McKnight asked the location of the new wall surrounding the unit. Mr. Bendon stated it will be the same height as the existing rear wall with similar bricks and cap. Mr. McKnight then opened for public comment. Seeing none, he closed public comment. Mr. McKnight opened commissioner discussion. Mr. McKnight stated the photo of the temporary unit looks terrible, but he admitted it was the first time he realized it was there. He feels the new situation will be much better. Ms. McGovern stated she looked at the site earlier in the day and thought it was really ugly and she hoped they could put a wall around it. She feels the requested amendment is the best solution. She would like to see the unit in the garage but it’s not possible at this time. Ms. Carver stated she has never noticed or heard the cooler unit so the new proposal will make it look much better. Mr. Marcoux motioned to approve the Resolution Number 7; Series 2021 as presented granting approval of a minor amendment as identified herein. Mr. Rose seconded the motion. Mr. McKnight requested a roll call: Ms. Rockhill, yes; Mr. Dupps, yes; Ms. Carver, yes; Ms. McGovern, yes; Mr. McKnight, yes; Mr. Rose, yes; Mr. Marcoux, yes; for a total of seven (7) in favor – zero (0) not in favor. The motion passed. Mr. McKnight thanked staff and the applicant. He then asked for a motion to adjourn. Ms. McGovern motioned to adjourn and was seconded by Ms. Carver. All in favor and the meeting was adjourned at 5:45 pm.

Spring St. #202, Aspen, CO 81611 Location: #TBD, Crystal Lake Road, Aspen, CO 81611, Legally described as Lot 11, Callahan Subdivision, recorded May 19, 1976, in plate books 5 at page 7 and first amendment thereto recorded August 17, 1977, in plat book 6 at page 16 and second amended plat recorded October 4, 1982, in plat book 13 at page 92. County of Pitkin. State of Colorado. Current Zoning: Moderate Density Residential (R-15) with a Planned Development (PD) overlay Summary: The subject lot is located within the Stream Margin Review area of the Roaring Fork River and is currently undeveloped. The applicant is conducting due diligence regarding the development rights of the property and requests Special Review for an alternative Top-of-Slope determination from what is specified by the City of Aspen Stream Margin Map,and a concurrent Stream Margin Review based on the newly established Top-of-Slope.No development or improvements are proposed as part of this application. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends the Planning & Zoning Commission approve the proposed Alternative Top-of-Slope and associated Stream Margin Review with the condition set forth on Page 4 of this memo. If P&Z approves this application, the new Top-of-Slope will be recorded in a plat. A subsequent Stream Margin Review will be required if any future development is proposed within the Stream Margin Review area of the property. Lot 11Callahan Subdivision/PUDFigure 1:Subject Property Location 17 Page | 2 REQUEST OF THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION: The Applicant is requesting the following approval from the Planning and Zoning Commission: Stream Margin Review (Land Use Code Section 26.435.40): An application for development on a property within one-hundred (100) feet, measured horizontally, from the high water line of the Roaring Fork River and its tributary streams, or within the Flood Hazard Area requires a Stream Margin Review.Although no development is proposed at this time, any future improvements on this lot will be subject to heightened review because of the proximity to the Environmentally Sensitive Area. An application for a Stream Margin review is typically reviewed administratively, but because the review is contingent on the Top-of-Slope determination, the applicant requested to include the review in a one-step review process by the Planning and Zoning Commission to simplify the process. The Planning and Zoning Commission is the final review body. Special Review (Land Use Code Section 26.435.040.E): An application requesting an appeal of the Stream Margin Map’s Top-of-Slope determination requires Special Review by the Planning and Zoning Commission. The Planning and Zoning Commission is the final review body. BACKGROUND: The Callahan Subdivision and Planned Development (PD) was approved in 1976. Lot 11 sits adjacent to the Roaring Fork River and is located within the Moderate Density Residential (R-15) zone district. The property is currently vacant with no previous development history.Given its proximity to the Roaring Fork River, a large portion of the lot is located within the Stream Margin Review area, which is considered environmentally sensitive and requires heightened review for any development proposed in the area. The City maintains a set of maps depicting properties that are located within the Stream Margin Review Area. From these maps, the Top-of-Slope of each property is identified based on the location of the 100-foot high water line of the river. The Land Use Code prohibits development (other than approved native vegetation planting) below the Top-of-Slope or within fifteen feet of the Top-of-Slope or the high-water line, whichever is most restrictive. This is intended to protect the existing riparian vegetation and bank stability. As depicted in Figure 2, two flood zones exist on the lot. The 100-foot high water line setback and the Top-of-Slope identified by the City of Aspen Stream Margin map intersect with Special Flood Zone X. The applicant requests an alternative Top-of-Slope determination and Stream Margin Review to provide clarity on the development rights associated with the property. No development or improvements are proposed as part of this request. Special Flood Zone X Top-of-Slope Per City of Aspen 15’ Top-of- Slope Setback Flood Zone AE Figure 2:Top-of-Slope Memorialized Via City of Aspen Stream Margin Map 18 Page | 3 PROJECT SUMMARY: Properties located within 100 ft. of the high-water line of the Roaring Fork River are subject to Stream Margin Review pursuant to Land Use Code section 26.435.40, Stream Margin Review. According to the application, the City’s mapping of the 100-ft. setback does not correlate with the site topography,vegetation conditions or the location of Special Flood Zone X. Pursuant to Land Use Code Section 26.435.040.E, Special Review, the applicant may request an alternative Top-of-Slope that more accurately reflects site conditions and the topography of the lot. The proposed alternative Top-of- Slope is identified in blue in Figure 3. The applicant posits that the proposed Top-of-Slope is more consistent with onsite conditions because it responds to site topography, existing native vegetation and avoids Flood Zone X and Flood Zone AE. STAFF COMMENTS: Staff finds the application meets the Stream Margin Review Standards set forth in Land Use Code Section 26.435.040.C and the Special Review Standards set forth in Land Use Code Section 26.435.040.E (Exhibits A.1 & A.2 respectively). The Top-of-Slope identified by the City of Aspen Stream Margin map is inconsistent with actual conditions onsite. Figure 4 shows the existing and proposed Tops-of-Slope as they relate to onsite conditions. The Top-of-Slope identified in the City of Aspen stream margin map is based solely on distance from the Roaring Fork River but does not adequately respond to the topography, flood zones or riparian areas of the lot. Alternatively, the applicant’s proposed Top-of-Slope avoids riparian habitat and maintains several feet of distance from the flood zones on the property. The proposed Top-of-Slope is based on a report included in the application from SGM Engineering which comments on the locations of floodplain Zone X and AE,as well as the existing slope and topography of the parcel. Additionally, City of Aspen staff conducted a site visit with the applicant to confirm on -site conditions.Top-of-Slope determination was submitted by a licensed survey and referred to the City of Aspen Engineering Department for Review. Areas below (riverside) of the proposed Top-of-Slope delineation will not be disturbed. Areas above (upslope) of this line will be subject to setback limitations. Special Flood Zone X Top-of-Slope Per City of Aspen Flood Zone AE Proposed Top-of-Slope Figure 3:Proposed Alternative Top-of-Slope Compared to Top-of-Slope Identified by City of Aspen 19 Page | 4 As previously mentioned, this analysis has been conducted as a courtesy to the applicant for the purpose of due diligence. An official wetland delineation will be required to confirm the locations of all floodplains. Any development proposed in the future that is located within the Stream Margin Review Area is subject to all Stream Margin Review standards. A subsequent alternative Top-of-Slope may be required pending any new findings that were not clear as part of this review. A condition of approval is included to ensure all future Stream Margin requirements are met. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends the Planning and Zoning Commission (P&Z) approve this application with the following condition: 1. A subsequent land use application for Stream Margin Review shall be required for any development proposed within the Stream Margin Review area on this property. As part of the application, a professional wetland delineation must be performed to confirm the location of all flood zones on the property. Any findings that were not clear as part of this review may require a subsequent alternative Top-of-Slope to be established.

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 to practice in the State which shows that the base flood elevation will not be raised, including, but not limited to, proposing mitigation techniques on or off-site which compensate for any base flood elevation increase caused by the development. Staff findings: No development is proposed as part of this application. The applicant has provided an engineering study identifying riparian areas and flood zones. This information has been used to inform the proposed location of the alternative Top of Slope for the purpose of due diligence. If development is proposed in the future, an official wetland delineation will be required to confirm the information that has been submitted as part of this application is correct. No development will be allowed within any Special Flood Hazard Areas.Staff finds this criterion not applicable. 2. The adopted regulatory plans of the Open Space and Trails Board and the Roaring Fork River Greenway Plan are implemented in the proposed plan for development, to the greatest extent practicable. Areas of historic public use or access shall be dedicated via a recorded easement for public use. A fisherman's easement granting public fishing access within the high-water boundaries of the river course shall be granted via a recorded "Fisherman's Easement." Staff findings: No development is proposed as part of this application. For any future development proposed within the Stream Margin Review area, the appropriate regulatory plans shall be reviewed by staff to ensure the development does not negatively impact the surrounding environment. Staff finds this criterion not applicable. 3. There is no vegetation removed or damaged or slope grade changes (cut or fill) made outside of a specifically defined building envelope. A building envelope shall be designated by this review and said envelope shall be designated by this review and said envelope shall be recorded on a plat pursuant to [Land Use Code Section26.435.040.f.1. Staff findings: The proposed Top of Slope is included within the memo and the application. No development will be allowed below (riverside) of the established Top of Slope. The approved Top of Slope will be recorded in a plat. If future development is proposed within the Stream Margin Review area, a subsequent land use application shall be required to for Stream Margin Review. An official wetland delineation will be required to confirm the locations of all Flood Zones on the property. A subsequent Top of Slope determination may be required based on the findings from the wetland delineation. Staff finds this criterion to be met. 25 Exhibit A.1 Stream Margin Review Standards Staff Findings Page 2 of 3 4. 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. Pools or hot tubs cannot be drained outside of the designated building envelope. Staff findings:No development is proposed as part of this application. Any future development proposed within the Stream Margin Review area shall be subject to a subsequent Stream Margin Review. A development application will be required to include details related to grading, drainage, and construction techniques. Certain conditions may be imposed on the development at that time. Staff finds this criterion not applicable. 5. Written notice is given 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 findings: Alteration to the water course is not proposed within this application. Staff finds this criterion not applicable. 6. 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 findings: Alteration to the water course is not proposed as part of this application. Staff finds this criterion not applicable. 7. Copies are provided of all necessary federal and state permits relating to work within the 100-year flood plain. Staff findings: No development is proposed as part of this application. Any future development proposed within the 100-year floodplain shall obtain all applicable Federal and State permits. Staff finds this criterion not applicable. 8. 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. This is an effort to protect the existing riparian vegetation and bank stability. New plantings (including trees, shrubs, flowers and grasses) outside of the designated building envelope on the river side shall be native riparian vegetation as approved by the City. A landscape plan will be submitted with all development applications. The top of slope and 100-year flood plain elevation of the Roaring Fork River shall be determined by the Stream Margin Map located in the Community Development Department and filed at the City Engineering Department. Staff findings: The applicant agrees that only native vegetation may be planted below or within 15-ft. of the Top-of-Slope and that City approval is required for plantings along the river side of the development. As no development is proposed at this time, the applicant does 26 Exhibit A.1 Stream Margin Review Standards Staff Findings Page 3 of 3 not have a landscape plan. The property shall remain subject to Stream Margin Review for any development proposed in the future. Staff finds this criterion met. 9. All development outside 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. Height shall be measured and determined by the Community Development Director using the definition for height set forth at Section 26.04.100 and method of calculating height set forth at [Land Use Code Section 26.575.020 as shown in Figure "A"]. Staff findings: No development is proposed as part of this application. Any future development within the Stream Margin Review area shall be subject to the Stream Margin Review standards and shall comply with the progressive height limit. Staff finds this criterion not applicable. 10.All exterior lighting is low and downcast with no light(s) directed toward the river or located down the slope and shall be in compliance with [Land Use Code Section 26.575.150]. A lighting plan will be submitted with all development applications. Staff findings: No development is proposed as part of this application. Any future development within the Stream Margin Review area shall be subject to the Stream Margin Review standards and shall comply with applicable lighting standards. Staff finds this criterion not applicable. 11.There has been accurate identification of wetlands and riparian zones. Staff findings: The report from SGM Engineering comments on the presence of wetland species and the riparian zone along the edge of the river and helped to inform the location of the proposed alternative Top-of-Slope. The information included in this application is subject to subsequent reviews when development is proposed for this property. Any future development proposed within the Stream Margin Review Area is subject to Stream Margin Review standards. A wetland delineation report will be required to confirm the most up to date location of all wetlands on the property. Staff finds this criterion to be met. 27 Exhibit A.2 Special Review Standards Staff Findings Page 1 of 1 26.435.040.E, Special Review Standards No development shall be permitted within the stream margin of the Roaring Fork River unless the Community Development Director makes a determination that the proposed development complies with all requirements set forth below: An application requesting a variance from the stream margin review standards or an appeal of the Stream Margin Map's Top of Slope determination, shall be processed as a Special Review in accordance with common development review procedure set forth in Chapter 26.304. The Special Review shall be considered at a public hearing for which notice has been published, posted and mailed, pursuant to Subsection 26.304.060.e.3. Review is by the Planning and Zoning Commission. A Special Review from the stream margin review determination may be approved, approved with conditions or denied based on conformance with the following review criteria: 1. An authorized survey from a Colorado professionally licensed surveyor shows a different determination in regard to the Top of Slope and 100-year flood plain than the Stream Margin Map located in the Community Development Department and filed in the City Engineering Department. Staff findings: A survey has been submitted from a Colorado professionally licensed surveyor depicting the proposed location of the alternative Top of Slope. A report was also submitted by SGM Engineering which speaks to the locations of floodplain Zone X and AE, as well as the existing slope and topography of the parcel. A site visit with the Engineering Department and the applicant confirmed the location of existing riparian zones. The culmination of these documents and the site visit helped to inform the proposed location of the alternative Top-of-Slope. An official wetland delineation will be required to confirm the locations of all floodplains. Any development proposed in the future that is located within the Stream Margin Review area is subject to all Stream Margin Review standards. A subsequent alternative Top-of-Slope may be required pending any new findings that were not clear as part of this review. Staff finds this criterion to be met. 2. The proposed development meets the Stream Margin review standard(s) upon which the Community Development Director had based the finding of denial. Staff findings: This land use application complies with the applicable Stream Margin Review standards. Any new development proposed within the Stream Margin Review area will be subject to another Stream Margin Review process. An analysis that brings forth new findings not discussed within this review may require a subsequent Top-of- Slope to be established. Staff finds this criterion to be met. 28 300 SO SPRING ST | 202 | ASPEN, CO 81611 970.925.2855 | BENDONADAMS.COM March 22, 2021 Amy Simon Planning Director City of Aspen 130 So. Galena St. Aspen, CO 81611 RE: #tbd Crystal Lake Road; Lot 11, Callahan Subdivision Special Review for Top-of-Slope Determination Ms. Simon: Please accept this Special Review application for a determination of top-of-slope related to Stream Margin Review. Lot 11 of the Callahan Subdivision is a vacant parcel fronting the Roaring Fork River with no previous development history. The 1.1- acre parcel is zoned R-15 (Moderate-Density Residential) and allows for the development of one or two residences in an attached or detached configuration. The application does not include a design or layout of a new home. The applicant is seeking this Special Review to establish the top-of-slope and setbacks from the Roaring Fork River prior to engaging in a design process. Once this top-of-slope is established, a compete design can be submitted for the full Stream Margin Review. This portion of the Roaring Fork River is less roaring-ish and the riverbank has no obvious break in the terrain. However, there is a notable change in vegetation and soil conditions. Along the river and in areas that appear to be seasonally inundated, the vegetation appears to consist of wetland species and the soil has a higher organic content. There is a clear change to dryland vegetation and sandy, loamy soil conditions. The picture to the right shows this change in vegetation from wetland species in the foreground to dryland species in the midground. 29 Lot 11 Callahan Page 2 300 SO SPRING ST | 202 | ASPEN, CO 81611 970.925.2855 | BENDONADAMS.COM The property survey reflects portions of the property within the Floodway, the Flood Zone AE, and the Flood Zone X. This is shown below. This delineation follows the change in vegetation and soil conditions. The City’s Stream Margin regulations do not apply to portions of the property more than 100 feet from the mapped high-water line. The map below shows this 100-foot setback line. This line does not correlate with the site topography or vegetation conditions. It merely maps a setback from the high-water delineation. 30 Lot 11 Callahan Page 3 300 SO SPRING ST | 202 | ASPEN, CO 81611 970.925.2855 | BENDONADAMS.COM An initial site visit was conducted with a representative of the City Engineering Department in the Fall of 2020. The site visit resulted in the map below (transcribed from site mapping) with the blue line representing a top-of-slope reflective of actual site conditions. As the initial site visit was prior to this application being submitted, the line represented in this map is not considered an official decision by City Engineering. This line can be staked in preparation for an official site visit, as snow conditions allow a closer inspection of soil and vegetation conditions. This proposed top-of-slope line is reflected on the draft Stream Margin Map submitted with this application. The sum total effect of this proposed top- of-slope line is to prohibit development on the eastern side of the property that could otherwise intrude into the wetland area and allow development on the western side of the property where the land is dry and not subject to seasonal flooding. A progressive height limit from this top-of-slope line would also be implemented. The map below shows the areas to be added and deleted. 31 Lot 11 Callahan Page 4 300 SO SPRING ST | 202 | ASPEN, CO 81611 970.925.2855 | BENDONADAMS.COM The property is unaddressed and legally described as Lot 11 of the Callahan Subdivision.

No development shall be permitted within the stream margin of the Roaring Fork River unless the Community Development Director makes a determination that the proposed development complies with all requirements set forth below: 1. 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 to practice in the State which shows that the base flood elevation will not be raised, including, but not limited to, proposing mitigation techniques on or off-site which compensate for any base flood elevation increase caused by the development; and Response: No development will occur in the Special Flood Hazard Area 2. The adopted regulatory plans of the Open Space and Trails Board and the Roaring Fork River Greenway Plan are implemented in the proposed plan for development, to the greatest extent practicable. Areas of historic public use or access shall be dedicated via a recorded easement for public use. A fisherman's easement granting public fishing access within the high-water boundaries of the river course shall be granted via a recorded "Fisherman's Easement;" and Response: The Open Space and Trails Board does not have any adopted regulatory plans that affect this parcel. The Roaring Fork Greenway Plan does not appear to be effective of applicable. This plan is not referenced in the City of Aspen Municipal Code or the 2012 Aspen Area Community Plan. A search of City ordinances reflects that this plan was not adopted as a regulatory document and the plan does not appear on the City’s website. City staff have not been able to locate a copy of this plan. If a copy of the plan is located, the applicant will review regulatory aspects for applicability to this property. 3. There is no vegetation removed or damaged or slope grade changes (cut or fill) made outside of a specifically defined building envelope. A building envelope shall be designated by this review and said envelope shall be designated by this review and said envelope shall be recorded on a plat pursuant to Subsection 26.435.040(f)(1); and Response: The applicant is requesting the top-of-slope be set as proposed in the application drawings. Areas below (riverside) of this delineation will not be disturbed. Areas above (upslope) of this line will be subject to setback limitations. Subsequent to this review the applicant will file the appropriate plat. 33 4. 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. Pools or hot tubs cannot be drained outside of the designated building envelope; and Response: The applicant is not proposing development at this time, only a top-of-slope determination. Development on this site will continue to be subject to a full Stream Margin Review and information regarding grading, drainage, and construction technique can be reviewed at the time an actual design is presented. 5. Written notice is given 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; and Response: Alteration of the water course is not proposed and is not anticipated to become an issue with actual construction. Notice will be provided if this changes. 6. 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; and Response: Alteration of the water course is not proposed and is not anticipated to become an issue with actual construction. 7. Copies are provided of all necessary federal and state permits relating to work within the 100-year flood plain; and Response: No work is proposed within the 100-year floodplain. If work in the future is proposed, all Federal and State permits will be obtained. 8. 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. This is an effort to protect the existing riparian vegetation and bank stability. New plantings (including trees, shrubs, flowers and grasses) outside of the designated building envelope on the river side shall be native riparian vegetation as approved by the City. A landscape plan will be submitted with all development applications. The top of slope and 100-year flood plain elevation of the Roaring Fork River shall be determined by the Stream Margin Map located in the Community Development Department and filed at the City Engineering Department; and 34 Response: The applicant understands and agrees that nothing other than native vegetation is to be planted below or within 15 feet of the top-of-slope and that City approval is required for plantings along the river side of the development. As no development is proposed at this time, the applicant does not have a landscape plan. This property will remain subject to a full Stream Margin Review and a landscape plan will be presented along with the eventual design of the home. 9. All development outside 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. Height shall be measured and determined by the Community Development Director using the definition for height set forth at Section 26.04.100 and method of calculating height set forth at Section 26.575.020 as shown in Figure "A"; and Response: The applicant understands and agrees to the progressive height limit originating from the top-of-slope at a 45-degree angle. As no development is proposed at this time, the applicant does not have specific architecture. This property will remain subject to a full Stream Margin Review and confirmation of compliance with this height limitation will need to occur prior to proceeding to building permit review. 10. All exterior lighting is low and downcast with no light(s) directed toward the river or located down the slope and shall be in compliance with Section 26.575.150. A lighting plan will be submitted with all development applications; and Response: The applicant understands that exterior lighting will need to comply with the City’s lighting regulations and that lights cannot be directed towards the river. As no development is proposed at this time, the applicant does not have a lighting plan for this review. Compliance with the City’s lighting regulations and this criterion will be demonstrated prior to construction. 11. There has been accurate identification of wetlands and riparian zones. Response: The report from SGM Engineering comments on the presence of wetland species and the riparian zone along the edge of the river. A site inspection, when snow cover conditions allow, will be beneficial. 35 26.435.040.E – Special Review. An application requesting a variance from the stream margin review standards or an appeal of the Stream Margin Map's top of slope determination, shall be processed as a special review in accordance with common development review procedure set forth in Chapter 26.304. The special review shall be considered at a public hearing for which notice has been published, posted and mailed, pursuant to Subsection 26.304.060(e)(3) Paragraphs a, b and c. Review is by the Planning and Zoning Commission. A special review from the stream margin review determination may be approved, approved with conditions or denied based on conformance with the following review criteria: 1. An authorized survey from a Colorado professionally licensed surveyor shows a different determination in regards to the top of slope and 100-year flood plain than the Stream Margin Map located in the Community Development Department and filed in the City Engineering Department; and Response: The commentary provided by SGM Engineering and the draft Top-of-Slope survey provided by Rodney Kiser, a Colorado licensed land surveyor with True North Surveying, indicate a proposed top-of-slop different from the 100-foot high-water line setback. 2. The proposed development meets the stream margin review standard(s) upon which the Community Development Director had based the finding of denial. Response: See above responses to the Stream Margin Review criteria. 36 www.sgm-inc.com GLENWOOD SPRINGS 118 West Sixth St, Suite 200 | Glenwood Springs, CO 81601 | 970.945.1004 Engineering Report-LandUse-277DanielsonDr.docx February 24, 2021 Chris Bendon www.bendonadams.com 300 So. Spring St. #202 Aspen, CO 81611 (o) 970.925.2855 RE: Address TBD, aka Lot 11 Callahan Subdiv, Pitco Parcel ID 273718132011 – Due Diligence Engineering Memorandum Dear Chris: This report addresses an overview of Civil Engineering aspects of potential development of the above parcel. This site is an unoccupied parcel off of Crystal Lake road approximately 300 feet west of Highway 82. Occupied residential parcels are to the west and, across the street, to the north. Farther north is Crystal Lake itself, the outfall of which impact this parcel. To the east is another residential parcel that is in the County (the City limit is immediately adjacent to the east side of the parcel in question. To the south and cutting through the very southern end of the property is the Roaring Fork River. This report is to indicate the applicant’s approach to comply or, if circumstances warrant, vary from Pitkin County code sections 7-20-10 through 30 and the engineering elements of 7-30. At this point we see no reason for variance requests due to any site-engineering related issue. However, at this time, there is not a specific site plan. This assessment is for feasibility and to determine if there are any obvious hurdles, administratively or technically, from the development of this site for a new SFR. Therefore, we have made some assumptions which will be indicated in this report. It is reasonable to assume this information will need to be reviewed once a specific site plan is proposed to affirm these assertions can still be met. Driveway & Access The site is currently accessed via a dirt path off from the pedestrian trail from the adjacent Lot 13. This would not be continued, with a direct connection from Crystal Lake Road. The target developable portion is several feet lower than CLR likely requiring elevated construction to keep the driveway at a reasonable slope. Adding to this necessity is the fact that the overflow outfall pipe from Crystal Lake, an 18” pipe, empties into this parcel near the northwest corner, under the most ideal spot for driveway access. That pipe would need to extend, with supporting calculations, and assurances of the continued route of overflow around and past the desired building area. That pipe is damaged and crushed and would need to be inspected before extension to determine the appropriate connection method. Ensuring this overflow is maintained and in good shape should be considered by the potential lot owner so debris does not inadvertently move or cause other damage to the drainage path through Lot 11. Exhibit 2 37 www.sgm-inc.com Page | 2 Grading & Drainage As noted, the overflow path from Crystal Lake goes through Lot 11, entering at the northwest corner, crossing and curving southward prior to the east property boundary. Until a site plan would be prepared, it is unclear how far the culvert extension or what other amendments may be needed, but, at a minimum, we would recommend the pipe be carried around the main footprint of protected structures. Following, it is also reasonable that this general channel and flowpath will double as the concentration point for site runoff prior to entering the Roaring Fork. The south end of the parcel, between the designated setbacks and floodplain areas, an owner should expect some level of water quality and potential detention in that lower area above the bank. With the proximity to the creek, a deep drywell is not likely, therefore shallow or surface controls would be designed to satisfy the CoA URMP criteria. The south end of the parcel is impacted by the floodplain Zone X and AE and is shown on the and shown on the stream margin map. An assessment of the precise location of this, along with normal high water line is underway and will be presented in a separate document from SGM. The above driveway access, as currently described, would seem to provide for an elevation of a garage or main floor no lower than an 8010 elevation. Slopes The vast majority of the site is at 30% or less slope. Some notable area at the north end of the parcel are steeper than 30% and would appear to have been associated with the lake outfall construction and associated access roads. To continue the outfall pipe around the likely home site would entail constructing and filling to some degree on that slope to cover the outfall pipe and protect the house. Water and Sewer Water and Sewer existing in the Crystal Lake ROW and would appear to be accessible through typical construction methods. It is possible some or all of a proposed house would need an ejector pump for sewer, but that is not an uncommon circumstance with readily available appurtenances for internal plumbing. A fire hydrant is to the northeast of this parcel, across the road. Electric, Phone, Communications Power and communications are along the north side of CLR and appear to be accessible for typical service needs. Gas Gas is available along the south side of CLR and appears accessible near the trailhead. 38 www.sgm-inc.com Page | 3 River and Stream Corridors and Wetlands (§7-20-80) – provided by Eric Petterson The parcel is somewhat constrained by a 100-foot setback from the top-of-bank of the Roaring Fork River, as well as wetlands. On February 23, 2021, SGM environmental staff delineated the top of bank of the river. The top of bank was delineated based on topographic benching, indicating of high flow events, as well as a wrack-line (which consisted of entrained vegetation in willows, which is also indicative of high-flow events). The attached map shows the top-of-bank as well as the County-prescribed 100-foot buffer. Wetlands are extensive at the southern and eastern sides of the parcel, but due to snow cover, an accurate delineation of wetland boundaries was not possible. The County also prescribes a 100-foot buffer from wetlands, which may be reduced to between 100 feet and a minimum of 50 feet, as long as a reduction in the buffer would not result in water quality degradation, stream bank erosion and/or a reduction in the quality of riparian or wetland habitat pursuant to standards in Section 7-20-80(4) of the Land Use Code (see §7-20- 80(a)(2)). Traffic Impact (§7-30-20) The typical single-family residential uses are not anticipated to change traffic loading along CLR. We would recommend landscaping be kept below typical vehicular visibility levels at the driveway as the pedestrian trail is to the immediate west of the site. Conclusion We trust this report is sufficient for the applicant’s review of feasibility on the parcel. There is no obvious reason or significant difficulty in developing this site. Please feel free to contact us if we may provide further information or clarification.

It is an undeveloped platted lot located off Crystal Lake Dr in the R-15 Zone District and borders the Roaring Fork River. The Applicant is applying for a Stream Margin Review in order to create a building envelope for future development of the lot. Where the property intersects with the River, there is a revocable Protective Covenant “overlaying” a portion of the lot. The property is located in The Stream Margin Review Area, which is inclusive of both the 100-year flood plain and 100 feet from the high water line of the Roaring Fork River. Because of the scope of the proposed project, this application does not qualify for an exemption, but instead requires a full Stream Margin Review subject to the criteria in Sec. 26.435.040.C.1-11. Additionally, because the proposed top of slope is altered from the Stream Margin Map’s Top of Slope determination, the application will require a Special Review by The Planning and Zoning Commission for approval and memorialization of Top of Slope for this property. The Applicant’s representatives have worked with the City of Aspen’s Engineering Department in establishing a new top of slope determination. While the approval of this alternative top of slope determination could be reviewed as part of a full Stream Margin Review, the applicant has decided to pursue this approval in two separate steps. The first step, and the subject of this Pre-Application Summary, is a Special Review by the Planning and Zoning Commission in a public hearing of the alternative top of slope determination. Please note that the Special Review is subject to the notice requirements of a public hearing. If approved, this new top of slope will be memorialized and can then be used as an essential component of a second land use application for the Stream Margin Review. Required for this review will be a clear depiction of the existing top of slope determination on the parcel from the City of Aspen’s Stream Margin Map and the proposed, new top of slope as identified by the City of Aspen’s Engineering Department on an authorized survey from a Colorado professionally licensed surveyor.
