STAFF COMMENTS: Ms. Phelan thanked the commissioners for making time forthe special meeting tonight. PUBLIC COMMENTS: There were no comments. MINUTES: There were no comments. DECLARATION OF CONFLICT OF INTEREST There were no declarations. Public Hearing - 212 Lake Avenue, Replacement of nonconforming structure, - Continued from January 6, 2015 Mr. Gibbs opened the continued public hearing for 212 Lake Avenue. Ms. Quinn stated the affidavit of public notice had not been previously reviewed. She has reviewed and determined notice was properly provided for the January 6th meeting. Ms. Phelan stated the notice was included as Exhibit C. Ms. Phelan, Deputy Planning Director, reviewed the application for 212 Lake Avenue request for special review approval. Ms. Phelan stated 212 Lake Avenue is considered a nonconforming structure. The house does not meet the underlying zone district requirements. Demolition has been triggered and under the land use code it requires the building to now conform to the dimensional requirements of the zone district. The special review has specific criteria P&Z must determine the application meets. Ms. Phelan then provided background on the project. This property is an 11,000 sf lot and is about 59 ft wide at its narrowest spot and overlooks the Aspen Center for Environment Studies (ACES). It is in the Hallam Lake Bluff review and is designated as a historic landmark. The property is located in the medium Density Residential (R-6) zone district. 1 Special Meetine Plannine & Zoning Commission Januarv 13,2014 The property is nonconforming with regards to parking (short 2 spaces), side and combined setbacks, floor area (about 1,500 sf over), site coverage (small percent) and the Hallam Lake Bluff setback and height requirements (part of the building). The property is an existing duplex and the current owner was granted approval from the Historic Preservation Commission (HPC) to remodel the house in April, 2014. The granted approvals allowed the applicant to maintain the construction in the setback, provided a parking variance and approved some roof and form changes to simplify the building to be more sensitive to both Hallam Lake and the historic resource (miner's cottage). The building permit included demo calculations to verify demo is not triggered. A demolition shows what parts of the wall structure will be removed and the assemblies that hold the building together. The City's code requires if more than 40% or more of an existing structure is removed, then that triggers a demo and requires compliance with the code. The changes to the building came in at 39% and a permit was issued in October, 2014 for the remodel. Priorto issuance of the building permit in October, the contractor received a permit called an interior finish and fixture removal permit which allows for removing drywall and fixtures to perform an initial investigation prior to demolition and reconstruction. During the investigation, mold was discovered and the contractor hired a consultant in July, 2014 to assess the status of mold in the building. The consultant issued a report making recommendations on actions to be taken to remediate the mold. In November, during demo and reconstruction, the City requested an inspection to verify the demolition plan happened as submitted as part of the building permit. During this inspection of the demolition, it became apparent the demolition calculation had been exceeded. The contractor explained mold had been discovered and additional demolition had occurred. The demolition was estimated at 55%. With regards to special review, all review criteria are supposed to be met. The review criteria focus on whetherthe development is compatible; land uses and the purpose of the zone district and whether there is any impact on the surrounding land uses; where special characteristics unique to the property which differentiate from other properties; whether the structure represents the minimal variance allowing for reasonable use of the property; and whether enforcement of the dimensional requirements of the zoned district will create hardship by prohibiting reasonable use. Based on these criteria, Staff does not find all standards have been met and recommends denial of the request. Specifically Staff does not find there are special characteristics of the property with the large size of the lot and lot width. The code will allow up to a 4,100 sf building in floor area. Mr. Chris Bendon, Community Development Director, stated there are two pathways forward for the applicant. One is to argue the definition of demolition to determine if mold is a qualifying aspect of demolition. The interpretation of mold and the appeal would go to City Council. The second pathway is to say there has been demolition and the special review request to be able to replace nonconformities subsequent to demolition. The code allows you to do this after demolition but requires the question to be asked before proceeding with demolition. There is nothing wrong with exceeding demolition and coming in with the request. He stated the applicant is going with the second pathway, but could pursue both. 2 Special MeetinE Planning & Zoning Commission January 13, 2014 Mr. Gibbs asked if there were any questions for Staff. Mr. Goode asked if there has ever been demolition by mold before this instance. Mr. Bendon stated mold has come up before and the applicant has informed the City of the mold. The code limits the demolition at 40% for whatever purpose. Many times the 40% isn't a factor for a project because they do not have nonconforming issues. Mold can be found in almost every structure and there are many ways to deal with the mold. He does not recall mold coming up in this exact circumstance. Ms. Quinn stated there is a definition from the land use code of demolition as defined on p 2 of the agenda packet. Mr. Walterscheid asked to confirm if the project went before HPC in the previous year. Ms. Phelan stated in went in front of HPC in April 2014 for review of the proposed remodel. Mr. Walterscheid asked if the proposed construction changed from what HPC approved even though demolition has occurred. Ms. Phelan stated the final product will be the same product approved by HPC. The issue is the demolition exceeded what was allowable 40% which triggers a special review. Mr. Gibbs asked given the current location of the historic resource, is the allowable floor area to be developed as stated on p 5 of the packet what HPC approved or the numbers based on land use code. Ms. Phelan stated the amount specified in the packet is what is allowable based on size of the lot and the land use code. Ms. Phelan stated the build exceeds the allowable amount. Mr. Bendon stated Staff feels it is reasonable to stay within the amount. Ms. Phelan stated the fagade of the historic resource is 30 ft from the property line. A typical setback is 10 ft. Mr. Bendon stated the approximate size of the resource itself. Ms. Phelan stated this is a deeper lot than typically found in the west end. Mr. Gibbs asked why this would not just go back to HPC. Ms. Phelan stated the land use code does not give HPC the authority to review this particular special review, Mr. Walterscheid asked what happens to the resource if for some reason P&Z votes to deny the nonconformities. Ms. Phelan stated the P&Z decision could be appealed to City Council. The applicant could go down the path of asking for an interpretation of demolition. She also added if this was denied by P&Z and no further action was taken, then the applicant would be expected to come up with a plan based on the underlying zoning which would be reviewed by HPC. Mr. Gibbs then asked if P&Z should not considerthe first approval because of the special review. Mr. Bendon stated the special review under consideration assumes demolition has occurred and the request is to replace the nonconformities subsequent to the demolition. Mr. Gibbs then turned the floor over to the applicant with Mr. David Kelly representing Harriman Construction and the owner. Also in attendance is Mr, Mitch Haasto provide background of the HPC approvals, Mr. Ben Genshaft serving as the owner's counsel, and Bill Harriman and Kimberly of Harriman Construction. Mr. Haas provided a background of the project. He wanted to assure P&Z the applicant did not intentionally do an end run around the code to ask for forgiveness. This applicant hired Mr. Haas and 3 Special MeetinE Planniniz & Zoning Commission Januarv 13, 2014 Mr. Genshaft to complete due diligence for the purchase of the property. During this effort, it was discovered the building was nonconforming with regard to floor area, setbacks and site coverage. He does not consider the Hallam Lake Bluff items nonconforming because they are not zoning requirements. In the course of due diligence, there was an old City Council document specifying allowable floor area for the property no matter the use. An exhaustive study of the code was completed of the land use code as it pertains to the property. The applicant then purchased the property. Then an HPC application was prepared for a Hallam Lake Bluff review and renovation and restoration of the building. The architects prepared an exhaustive set of plans including full demolition drawings, calculations, residential design standards, Hallam Lake Bluff standards, nonconformities. Mr. Haas continued stating before applying for the HPC approval process, they reviewed several designs with Amy Simon, HPC Senior Planner, and revisions were made. At this time the demolition plans came out at about 30% limit of the demolition calculations. They were asked to take on far more restoration of the historic resource than what would ever be required or necessary. They were afraid to do this because it would bump up the demolition and they were concerned with exceeding the 40% threshold. Mr. Haas stated they were asked to remove non-historic additions to the building and in effect losing sf. The resulting plans decreased the FAR nonconformity. In the process, they were asked to consider taking the entire roof line of the historic resource that had been previously changed and lower it to the original roof line. The applicant agreed to do this and other non-required activities even though it bumped up the demolition calculation. Mr. Haas stated during the pre-application process Ms. Simon stated there is very little historic fabric remaining on the property and not to expect any favors from the HPC. The applicant liked the idea of restoring the property to its original form and was willing to do it. The applicant pointed out the non-native vegetation on the property and had Mr. Haas confirm with the City Forresterto inquire how to remove the vegetation when it is not allowed under the Hallam Lake review. Mr. Haas also met with ACES representatives including Chris Lane and Jim Kravitz who made suggestions. They asked the applicant to modify the construction schedule to minimize the impact to ACES programs during their high season. Mr. Haas feels the applicant has been upfront and gone above and beyond what is required to do the right thing. Mr. Kelly stated the nonconformities existed prior to the HPC approval. The applicant lessened the nonconformities by reducing the building height including 13% demolition on Lake Ave side and 7% on the Hallam St side for a total 20% of the demolition. He stated half of the demolition (20%) was due to the applicant agreed to complete per the request of HPC that were agreed to be beneficial. This change also reduced useable sf. Mr. Kelly stated Harriman Construction discovered pervasive mold during demolition. It was everywhere in the structure including the roof, walls, plaster. Mr. Kelly provided pictures of the mold. Mr. Kelly noted the pictures do not show the worst of it, they only show what is left after the other mold been removed. Ms. Quinn requested a hard copy of the pictures to be included as Exhibit D. Mr. Kelly stated the applicant wants the special review to include not only continue building with what has been approved, but also be allowed to remove the remaining mold. 4 Special Meeting Planning & Zoning Commission Januarv 13,2014 Mr. Kelly stated Harriman Construction engaged a mold expert who discovered several species growing including toxic molds. Harriman Construction then followed the recommendations and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) guidelines. The independent testing agency recommended physically removing mold from the structure including as the primary remediation. Attempts to kill or encapsulate mold generally are not adequate. OSHA stated the purpose of mold remediation is to correct moisture problems to remove moldy and contaminated materials to prevent human exposure and further damage to building materials and furnishings. Porous materials that are wet and have mold growing on them may need to be discarded to eliminate areas for potential mold growth. As a general rule, simply killing the mold is not enough. Even dead mold may cause a reaction to humans. Mr. Kelly stated Harriman did remove the worst of the contamination, but there is still a lot remaining. The mold was generally located on dimensional lumber and not on the brick or historic fagade of the residence. The City building department saw the mold when they were out on their Interior Finish and Fixture Removal (IFFR) inspection. There isn't any provision in the code that provides forthe remediation process regarding the acceptable standards because there really isn't any federal or state standards regarding acceptable levels of mold. Harriman Construction viewed this as a health safety and welfare issue and not a zoning issue. Mr. Kelly stated the Community Development Department has taken a position that any removal of the moldy material constitutes demolition. Mr. Kelly feels there are numerous reasons why this does not fall under the definition of demolition in the code. They are not raising, disassembling, tearing down or destroying the building. He fells it is a non-willful destruction because it was destroyed by an act of nature and should be allowed to restored. He thinks it should also be declared an unsafe structure which would also allow for restoration under the code. Or it could be considered normal maintenance under the code. If they can obtain special review now, then they can cover the building and make sure it isn't destroyed. If Harriman Construction knew this was a zoning issue and swapped out the lumber, they would still be at this special review because Staff considers the replacement of the moldy materials to be demolition. The unfortunate thing is if the building is considered demolished, the City may lose the historic resource. Mr. Kelly noted the first review criteria asks if it is compatible with surrounding uses and HPC found the project to be compatible. He also noted the development does not adverse impacts on surrounding uses. The only special characteristics unique to the property he noted was the mold issue. Mr. Kelly stated they are not asking for any dimensional variations other than what was historic and what was already approved. In regards to the standard regarding the enforcement of the dimensional provisions of the zoned district causing unnecessary hardship, Mr. Kelly stated perhaps there would be no hardship if the mold had been known when the project was going in for development approvals. The project would suffer hardship of having to go back to scratch at this point adding considerable time to the project and losing 1,500 sf which is equivalent to a two to three million dollar loss of value in the property. He feels the overriding concern is the public health safety and welfare. Future projects encountering mold would be left to live with it or lose the historic resource as part of the property. If the City does grant the special review, then the construction can continue, the mold can be removed and the City gets to keep the historic building in the same footprint, just lowered to accommodate the neighbors. 5 Special Meetine Planning & Zoning Commission Januarv 13, 2014 Mr. Ben Genshaft represents the property owner and wanted to point out this special review is a one off case and will not be setting a precedent. They are hoping P&Z will recognize the unique situation and allow them to complete the fully permitted project. Mr. Kelly then provided P&Z with a draft resolution granting the special review. Ms. Quinn noted it would be identified as Exhibit E. Mr. Gibbs asked the commission for questions of the applicant. There were none and he closed that portion of the hearing. Mr. Gibbs then opened for public comment. There were none and he closed that portion of the hearing. Mr. Gibbs then asked for rebuttal or clarification from Staff and the applicant. Mr. Bendon wanted to clarify Staffs understanding was the mold studies were completed prior to initiating the demolition. The importance of issuing building permits is for clarity and eliminating surprises. His problem is that there was no discussion with Staff when mold was discovered. It was by chance City Staff discovered the extent of situation. He suggested just because the Building Department saw the mold does not provide direction to initiate the demolition and remediation. Mr. Genshaft responded there was never any intention to hide or deceive anyone. They have a very reputable builder and he did not consider what he was doing any kind of violation. He thought he was acting in accordance with the code in regards to health, safety and welfare. Mr. Kelly stated unless zoning wanted to take a different position on mold in that its removal doesn't constitute demolition, then they will cross the 40%threshold. Mr. Haas stated if they had known then what they know now, he would have advised the applicant to not restore the historic roofline, not restore the historic window openings, and do not remove the solarium because they all contributed to the percentage of demolition. Mr. Gibbs closed the rebuttal part of the hearing. Mr. Gibbs opened for discussion from the commission. Mr. Goode thought the applicant did not have the intent to hide the mold problem but they knew the mold survey would say there would be mold. Mr. Walterscheid asked Staff to clarify what contributes to demolition. Mr. Benson said there is a section stating the obligation of the applicant to fully understand the structure they are dealing with no matter the intent. A wall could fall down and it would then be included in the calculation of the demolition. Mr. Walterscheid asked if nature took a course such as fire, how Staff would evaluate the demblition. Mr. Benson stated there is a section discussing willful and non-willful demolition. Non-willful demolition includes floods, fires and similar circumstances truly out of the ordinary and not from human interaction causing the demolition. Ms. Quinn mentioned the applicable code sections is on p 14. 6 Special Meeting Planning & Zoning Commission Januarv 13, 2014 Mr. Elliott asked forthe timing of the permits and the discovery of the mold to be clarified. Ms. Phelan stated in April, HPC approved the project for the remodel. In July there was a report by a consultant in regards to the mold in the building which occurred because the contractor had pulled a permit which allows for initial investigation behind the walls of the building. The actual permit for the remodel was issued in October. The contractor discovered the mold during the initial investigation. Mr. Elliott asked if the building would be the same as the renovations approved by the HPC. Ms. Phelan stated if the special review is approved tonight, it would be for what had been previously approved by HPC. Mr. Gibbs asked how it would be handled if they had been doing just an interior renovation instead of a major renovation and discovered the mold which resulted in as much demolition as the current situation. Ms. Phelan stated if this occurred and the applicant decided to remediate the mold requiring the removal of exterior sheeting, roof which would push them overthe 40% allowance. A special review would be necessary to request to maintain the nonconformities were associated with the existing building. Mr. Gibbs then asked what criteria would be applied for that scenario that would be different from tonight. Ms. Phelan stated it would be the same criteria. Mr. Benson stated in other situations there may be additional analysis performed to identify the types of remediation and determine if it actually requires demolition. There could be additional conversations to look at if there were other portions of the building that had been originally intended to be demolished that could be left in place to stay under the 40%. Mr. Benson stated the code provides for replacement of nonconformities through a special review which is what is happening tonight. The applicant can request a special review based on mold or a number of desires or needs to replace nonconformities. Mr. Walterscheid feels the intent speaks a lot and if the applicant desires to complete what was approved by HPC, he does not have an issue with their special review. He also understands Staff in that there should have been a conversation earlier in the process. Because there are no changes being requested, he supports providing the exemption. Mr. Elliot feels we wouldn't be here if staff had not driven by and noticed the demolition. The applicant should have come to the City and had a discussion regarding the discovery of the mold to ask for permission instead of forgiveness. He also understands the applicant wants to go the absolute safest route to mitigate the mold. He feels they should have come in to discuss the situation but because they are not changing anything from what HPC approved, he would reluctantly allow the exemption. Mr. Gibbs asked Ms. Quinn to confirm there would be no action if the board voted 2-2. Ms. Quinn confirmed there would be no action for a 2-2 vote but if it appeared the board would vote 2-2, then the applicant could ask to continue the hearing. The applicant does not have the option to appeal on the 2-2 vote. Mr. Gibbs feels this is an unfortunate situation and does not appreciate applicants asking for forgiveness and feels process should be followed. His sense is if this issue had been brought to them earlier when the mold was discovered, they would be in the same situation. He feels the applicant intends to build the project as approved and based on that he will likely vote yes. The fairness aspect plays an important 1 Special Meeting Planning & Zoning Commission January 13,2014 part and the reality is P&Z probably would have approved this in July with no discussion had it been brought to the boards attention earlier by the applicant. But he also feels the code regarding demolition is perhaps too rigid in these situations and council should be aware. Both Mr. Benson and Ms. Phelan stated the applicant's draft resolution could be reviewed and modified if P&Z wanted to use it. Mr. Benson and Ms. Phelan provided recommendations regarding additions, modifications and deletion of the sections. Mr. Goode motioned to approve special resolution #2, 2015 with the amendments as represented to maintain the nonconformities associated with 212 Lake Avenue, seconded by Mr. Walterscheid.

The Commission specifically finds that, pursuant to Sections 26.430.040(A) and (B): *9+ auX rvetkk-' 1 - tn UlaAS 1. The mass, height, density, configuration, amount of open space, landscaping and setbacks of the proposed development are designed in a manner that is compatible with or enhances the character of surrounding uses of land and is consistent with the purposes of the underlying zone district; and 2. The applicant has demonstrated that the proposed development will not have adverse impacts on surrounding uses or will mitigate those impacts, including but not limited to the effects of shading, excess traffic, availability of parking in the neighborhood or blocking of a designated view plane; and 3. There exist special characteristics unique to the property which differentiates the property from other properties located in the same zone district; and 4. No dimensional variations are increased, and the replacement structure represents the minimum variance that will make possible the reasonable use o f the property; and 5. Literal enforcement of the dimensional provisions of the zone district would cause unnecessary hardship upon the owner prohibiting reasonable use o f the property. The Commission specially approves the following request of Special Review - Replacement of a nonconforming structure: A. The applicant may remove and/or replace the exterior roof and wall surface area and/or subsurface components affected by toxic mold to adequately address the mold in the structure and life, health and safety issues associated with the existing structure. B. The applicant may maintain the following dimensional non-conformities: e The west side yard-setback requires and 8.8 foot variance to accommodate maintenance ofthe existing 6.2 foot setback where a15 foot setback is otherwise required; e The east side-yard setback requires a 2.1 foot variance to accommodate maintenance ofthe existing 12.9 foot setback where a15 foot setback is otherwise required; e The required combined side-yard setback for this property is 38 feet but the two existing side yard setback total to just 19.1 feet, resulting in the need for an 18.9 foot variance; and ' The allowable site coverage is 33% but the existing site coverage is 34.47%. After the proposed remodel, the site coverage will be approximately 33.81% - less than 1% over what is allowed in the zone district. e The floor area is non-conforming but will be reduced with the proposed remodel as well as the encroachment into the HLBR top of slope setback and progressive height limit. The floor area shall be permitted to be 5,605.25 square feet where the allowable floor area is 4,183 square feet. C. The applicant may remodel 212 Lake Avenue as represented to and approved by the Aspen Historic Preservation Commission as Resolution 10, Series of 2014. Section 2: All material representations and commitments made by the applicant pursuant to the development proposal approvals as herein awarded, whether in public hearing or documentation presented before the Planning and Zoning Commission, are hereby incorporated in such plan development approvals and the same shall be complied with as if fully set forth herein, unless amended by an authorized entity. Section 3: This Resolution shall not affect any existing litigation and shall not operate as an abatement of any action or proceeding now pending under or by virtue of the ordinances repealed or amended as herein provided, and the same shall be conducted and concluded under such prior ordinances. Section 4: If any section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase, or portion o f this Resolution is for any reason held invalid or unconstitutional in a court of competent jurisdiction, such portion shall be deemed a separate, distinct and independent provision and shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions thereof.

The 3 , building remodel has triggered i * demolition and Applicant proposes to replace the nonconforming '1 building. .. Vicinity map of the site Page 1 of 5 P1 VI.A. LAND USE REOUESTS AND REVIEW PROCEDURES: The Applicant has requested the following land use approval from the Planning and Zoning Commission: • Special Review - Replacement of nonconforming structures, for the replacement of a structure after demolition which does not conform with the dimensional requirements of the underlying zone district pursuant to Land Use Code Chapter 26.430, Special Review. (The Planning and Zoning Commission is the final review authoritv). PROJECT SUMMARY: 212 Lake Avenue is a designated historic landmark and subject to the Hallam Lake Bluff review. It is also nonconforming in a number of areas including parking (short 2 on-site spaces), side and combined setbacks, floor area, site coverage and the Hallam Lake Bluff setback and height requirements. With regard to Floor Area, a 1980s Council ordinance/plat permitted a Floor Area of.4:1 for either a single family residence or a duplex on the property. The maximum allowable Floor Area is 4,183 sq. ft but the existing conditions are in excess of the number by approximately 1,500 sq. ft. The Applicant, Aspen River Rendezvous, LLC, was granted approvals to remodel the existing duplex from the Historic Preservation Commission (HPC) and subsequently issued a building permit. The HPC allowed the applicant to maintain the construction in the setbacks for the approved design as well as granted a parking variance of one space per unit. The Applicant was to reconstruct the roof in certain areas to simplify the building form and to become more compliant with the Hallam Lake Bluff requirements at the rear of the building (Figure 1 - next page). As a nonconforming structure, as long as demolition is not triggered, the nonconformities may be maintained. When demolition of a nonconforming structure occurs, a replacement structure may be constructed only if the new structure is in conformance with the requirement of the Land Use Code (unless Special Review is granted). The Land Use Code specifies, under the Definitions section, that demolition is "to raze, disassemble, tear down or destroy forty percent or more of an existing structure (prior to commencing development) as measured by the surface of all exterior wall and roof area above finished grade and associated assembly components necessary for the structural integrity for such wall and roof area" (emphasis added). The Land Use Code further notes that "it shall be the responsibility of the applicant to accurately understand the structural capabilities of the building prior to undertaking a remodel. Failure to properly understand the structural capacity of elements intended to remain niay result in an involuntary collapse of those portions and a requirement to recalculate the extent of demolition. Landowner's intent or unforeseen circumstances shall not affect the calculation of actual physical demolition. Additional requirements or restrictions of this Title may result upon demolition" (emphasis added). Page 2 of 5 P2 VI.A. Figure 1: Existing and Approved Site Plan 211141404-2:7= -- t--..

Prior to issuance of the building permit for the approved project, an Interior Finish and Fixture Removal (IFFR) permit was issued allowing for initial investigation of the integrity of the building. Mold was uncovered and the contractor hired a consultant to assess it in July 2014, Page 3 of 5 P3 VI.A. prior to building permit issuance in October 2014. Applicant did not point out or raise the issue of mold to the city prior to the initiation of demolition. During demolition and reconstruction the Zoning Officer requested an on-site inspection and verification of the demolition calculations. At that point Harriman Construction noted that they had encountered mold within the building and a greater amount of demolition had occurred than what was identified in the building permit. Updated calculations were provided to the city and the current demolition calculation, submitted by the contractor, is that fifty-five percent of the building's exterior wall, roof and assemblies have been removed, thus triggering demolition and the requirement to cure any nonconformities. Photos of the site are provided below.

Staff Comment: The existing house is considered a nonconforming structure as it exceeds the allowable Floor Area permitted for the lot, does not meet required setbacks, parking requirements and the Hallam Lake Bluff requirements. Nonconforming structures are permitted to be maintained but the intent of the nonconformities regulations "is to regulate and limit the Page 4 of 5 P4 VI.A. continued existence of those uses, buildings and structures that do not conform to the provisions of this Title as amended. " Additionally, noncon®rming structures that are purposefully demolished or destroyed shall only be replaced with a conforming building unless granted Special Review to maintain the nonconformity. The Special Review criteria (Exhibit A) focus on whether there exist special characteristics unique to the property and whether enforcement of the dimensional provisions would not allow reasonable use Of the property and unnecessary hardship. Staff does not believe that there are special characteristics associated with the property that would differentiate it from other properties within the neighborhood and the subject zone district. There are many designated landmarks within the city as well as properties that are subject to the Hallam Lake Bluff review and some properties that are subject to both. The property may be developed with up to 4,183 sq. ft. of Floor Area on a 11,102 sq. ft. lot. At its narrowest the lot is 59 ft. wide, similar to many lots within the West End. Although the lot is subject to review as a designated landmark and under the Hallam Lake Bluff review, reasonable use of the property can be maintained. "Reasonable use does not require maximum use. A property need not be developed to the absolute maximum potential to be considered a reasonable use. Staff believes a home, compliant with today's current land use regulations, achieves reasonable use of the properly. Although the city has no adopted regulations or policies with regard to mold remediation, demolition is a reviewed and regulated part of a building permit. If a change to the demolition plan is necessary due to unforeseen circumstances then an Applicant should confer with city representatives prior to taking action. Other options may have been available to not trigger demolition. At the end ofthe day, the allowances and limitations ofthe approved building permit was not followed. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the Planning and Zoning Commission deny the application for Special Review to maintain certain nonconformities of the building. As noted in the Land Use Code "Landowner's intent or unforeseen circumstances shall not affect the calculation of actual physical demolition." The project is not compliant with the building permit that was issued for the project and has exceeded the demolition allowance of up to forty percent ofan existing structure.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION OF ASPEN, COLORADO, THAT: Section 1: Decision The Planning and Zoning Commission denies the request of Special Review - Replacement of a nonconforming structure for the building commonly known as 212 Lake Avenue as the request does not meet all standards required under Section 26.430.040 B, Replacement of nonconforming structures. The Commission specifically finds that 1) there are not existing special characteristics unique to the property that differentiate the property from other properties located with the same zone district (Section 26.430.040 B.2) and that 2) literal enforcement of the dimensional provisions of the zone district does not prohibit reasonable use of the property (Section 26.430.040 B.4).

Approved as to form: Approved as to content: Deborah Quinn, Assistant City Attorney LJ Erspamer, Chair Attest: Cindy Klob, Records Manager Page 2 of 2 P7 VI.A. Exhibit A 26.430.040. Review standards for special review. No development subject to special review shall be permitted unless the Planning and Zoning Commission makes a determination that the proposed development complies with all standards and requirements set forth below. A. Dimensional requirements. Whenever the dimensional requirements of a proposed development are subject to special review, the development application shall only be approved if the following conditions are met. 1. The mass, height, density, configuration, amount ofopen space, landscaping and setbacks of the proposed development are designed in a manner which is compatible with or enhances the character of surrounding land uses and is consistent with the purposes of the underlying zone district. Staff Finding: The use of the property, as a duplex, is consistent with the character Of other u.ses within the neighborhood and the purpose of the zone district. The purpose of the Medium-Density Residential (R-6) zone district, which is generally limited to the Aspen Townsite, is to "contain relatively dense settlements of predominantly detached and duplex residences within walking distance of the center of the city. To regulate and standardize development within the zone district, permitted uses as well as dimensional standards have been adopted: however, Stqff does not believe the existing mass and configuration are consistent with the purpose of the underlying zone district. Sta#finds this criterion is not met. 2. The applicant demonstrates that the proposed development will not have adverse impacts on surrounding uses or will mitigate those impacts. including but not limited to the effects of shading, excess traffic, availability of parking in the neighborhood or blocking of a designated view plane. Staff Finding: As a nonconforming structure, the building is allowed to maintain its nonconformities such as development within the Hallam Lake Bluff When demolition occurs, a property is expected to come into conformance w#h adopted regulations. Permitting a continuance of a nonconformity within the Hallam Lake Bluff area will not assist in thing>; such as limiting the noise and visual impacts to the nature preserve. Staff finds this criterion is not met. B. Replacement of nonconforming structures. Whenever a structure or portion thereof, which does not conform to the dimensional requirements of the zone district in which the property is located is proposed to be replaced after demolition, the following criteria shall be met: 1. The proposed development shall comply with the conditions of Subsection 26.430.040.A above; Staff Finding: As noted in the review criteria previously listed, Staff does not find this criterion mel P8 VI.A. Exhibit A 2. There exist special characteristics unique to the property which differentiate the property from other properties located in the same zone district; Staff Finding: There are no special characteristics associated with the property that would differentiate it from other properties within the neighborhood and the subject zone district. There are many designated landmarks within the city as well as properties that are subject to the Hallam Lake Bluff review and some properties that are subject to both. Although the city has no adopted regulations or policies with regard to mold remediation, demolition is a reviewed and regulated part of a building permit. If a change to the demolition plan is necessary due to unforeseen circumstances an applicant should confer with city representatives prior to taking action. Other options may have been available to not trigger deniolition. Staffdoes notfind this criterion met. 3. No dimensional variations are increased, and the replacement structure represents the minimum variance that will make possible the reasonable use of the property; and Sta# Finding: If approved, the proposed replacement structure will maintain the existing non-conformities associated with the property as reviewed by the Historic Preservation Commission; however, these variations are greater than what is needed for reasonable use of the property as the property could be developed to meet the land use code. "Reasonable lise" does not require maximum ilse. A property need not be developed to the absolute maximum potential to be considered a reasonable use. Staff does not find this criterion met. 4. Literal enforcement of the dimensional provisions of the zone district would cause unnecessary hardship upon the owner by prohibiting reasonable use of the property. Staff Finding: The property may be developed with up to 4,183 sq. ft. of Floor Area on a 11,102 sq. ft. lot. At its narrowest the lot is 59 ft. wide, similar to many lots within the West End. Although the lot is subject to review as a designated landmark and under the Hallam Lake Bluff review, reasonable use of the property can be maintained. Staff does not jind this criterion met.

As you are aware, the Properly is currently under construction, is listed on the Aspen Inventory of Historic Site and Structures, and has received Minor Development approval by the Historic Preservation Commission ("HPC") for a major remodcl of the historic home and the existing, non-historic addition. The property is located in the Medium Density Residential R-6 zone district ("R-6" or "Zone District") and is also located in the Hallam Like Bluff Environmentally Sensitive Area and is subject to the Hallam Lake Bluff Review C'HLBRD. The owner of the Property, Aspen River Rendezvous, LLC ("Owner") is specifically seeking Special Review approval to mainlain the existing non-conformities with respect to the structure, remodel the structure as approved by the HPC and be permitted to properly remediate mold that was discovered through the course of construction on the structure. The Property has the following preexisting, legally created, non-conformities: parking (short 2 on-site spaces as varied by the HPC), the side and combined setbacks do not conform to the R-6 setback requirements, the Property exceeds the allowable floor area for the R-6 zone district by approximately 1400 square feet, the structure exceeds the R-6 Zone District site coverage requirement by 1.5% and the structure does not comply with the I ILBR setback and height requirements. HPC approved the redesign and remodel of the Property with the non-conforming dimensional aspects of the structure. HPC did not grant any setback or floor area bonuses because these were technically not necessary as discussed below. HPC did grant a parking variance, as the structure on the Property is a duplex and four (4) spaces normally would be required. I IPC granted a variance for one (1) space per unit. The HPC also reviewed the HLBR and approved the proposed changes, with conditions, as lhe Owner of the Properly P10 VI.A. OATES, KNEZEVICH, GARDENSWARTZ & KELLY P.C. 212 Lake Avenue - Special Review Application December 26,2014 Page 2 lessencd the HLBR setback and height non-conformities and reduced some of the excessive floor area by removing a portion of the structure that extends into the setback. The Owner is also proposing to remove all non-native vegetation from the HLBR area. A proposed second deck was approved by I IPC because it was not in the fifteen (15) foot setback from the Hallam Lake Bluff. Pursuant to Section 26.312.030, Non-Conforming Structures, a non-conforming structure may be continued in accordance with the Land Use Code. A non-conforming structure can be remodeled and normal maintenance of a non-conforming structure may be performed "without affecting the autliorization to -continue as a non-conforming structure." The Owner commenced the remodel of the Property, in which the non-conformities could remain, by maintaining at least 61% of the exterior surface roof and wall area as calculated in Section 26.575.020(E) of the Land Use Code. A significant portion (13% percent) of the proposed demolition was agreed to by the Owner to accommodate the desire o f City staff and HPC to modify some of the morc undesirable aspects of the 1980s remodel. Notably, the roof line as seen from Lake Avenue and the roof line as seen from Hallam Lake were both removed and lowered as requested by HPC. The City of Aspen Building Department ("Building Department") issued a remodel permit for the Property. Several m: )nths ago. during partial demolition on the structure, the general contractor for the project. Harriman Construction, Inc. ('I-ICI"). discovered mold throughout both the historic house and non-historic addition. HCI conducted airborne air sampling and engaged a mold expert to determine the best course of action with respect to the pervasive mold. HCI carried out the expert's recommendations and removed the mold where it was seen in dimensional lumber and on plywood. The Building Department ;pas aware of the mold issue at 212 Lake and, as the City of Aspen ("City") has no regulations with r.:spect to mold and mold remediation, no approval of the remediation was required by the City To conform with the mold expert's recommendation, as well as OSHA guidelines on mold, HCI has been required to replace material that was not part of the original demolition plan. The moldy materials will be replaced with new dimensional lumber (2xl Os) and plywood sheeting in exactly the same locations. Pursuant to the mold experts' recommendation, additional moldy material must be removed and replaced to adequately address the life, health and safety issues associated with the mold in the existing structure The City has taken the position that the repair and replacement of mold-infested material constitutes "demolition" as defined in the Land Use Code and thus demolition has exceeded the 39% threshold of roof and wall surface area that could be removed. The Owner and I-ICI disagree with the proposition that moldy material cannot be replaced without exceeding the demolition limit in the Code. All told, in order to adequately address the mold issue in the structure, 55% of the exterior roof and wall surface area and/or subsurface components must be repaired. Because the Community Development Department has interpreted the repair of the mold as exceeding the demolition threshold in the Land Use Code, review and approval by the Planning and Zoning Commission ("Commission") for Special Review - Replacement of Non-Con forming Structures is required for 212 Lake. The criteria for Special Review, specific to the replacement of a non- conforming structure, is addressed in Exhibit "A" attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference. As the Commission will see, 212 Lake meets all of the criteria in Section 26.430.040(B) - Special Pll VI.A.

A nonconforming structure devoted to a use permitted in the zone district in which it is located may be continued in accordance with the provisions of this Chapter. 212 Lake Avenue isa non-conforming structure. The existing and proposed use as a duplex unit in the R-6 zone district is a permitted ilse. The Owner is seeking to maintain the existing non-conformities pursuant to Special Review. B. Normal maintenance. Normal maintenance to non-conforming structures may be performed without affecting the authorization to continue as a non-conforming structure. The Properly is currently undergoing a significant remodel in order to preserve and restore the historic structure and portions of the non-historic addition. C. Extensions. A non-conforming structure shall not be extended by an enlargement or expansion that increases the non-conformity. A non-conforming structure may be extended or altered in a manner that does not change or that decreases the non-conformity. The proposed remodel of the structure does not extend or enlarge any non- conformity. Additionally, non-conforming height and setbacks in the HLBR and floor area that exceeds allowable,floor area in the R-6 zone district will be reduced as a result of this remodel. The remaining criteria in the Section do not apply to this project as Community Development Staff has determined Special Review is more appropriate than additional review from HPC. D. Relocation. A non-conforming structure shall not be moved unless it thereafter conforms to the standards and requirements of the zone district in which it is located. There is no proposal to relocate the structure. E. Unsafe structure. Any portion ofa non-conforming structure which becomes physically unsafe or unlawful due to lack of repairs and maintenance and which is declared unsafe and unlawful by an authorized city official, but which an owners wishes to restore, repair or rebuild shall only be restored, repaired or rebuilt in conformity with the provisions of this Title. Although physically unsafe due to the mold in the structure, 212 Lake Avenue has not been declared unsafe and unlawful by an authorized city oficial because the Code is silent on the effect of mold and whether moldis an unsafe condition. The P13 4,1 VI.A. Owner believes the structure should be declared unsafe because ofthe potentially toxic ejJects of living .,ith mold. F. Ability to restore. 1. Non-Durposeful destruction. Any non-conforming structure which is demolished or destroyed by an act of nature through any manner not purposefully accomplished by the owner, may be restored as of right if a building permit for reconstruction is issued within twenty-four (24) months ofthe date ofdemolition or destruction. 2. Purposeful destruction. Any non-conforming structure which is purposefully demolished or destroyed may be replaced with a different structure only if the replacement structure is in conformance with the current provisions o f this Title or unless replacement of the non-conformity is approved pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 26.430, Special Review. Any structure which is non-conforming in regards to permitted density of the underlying zone district may maintain that specific non- conformity only i f a building permit for the replacement structure is issued within twelve (12) months of the date o f demolition or destruction. The Applicant did not purposefully destroy the niold infested wood, it is being repaired with identical materials. The Community Development Department has nevertheless declared that the repair of this material falls under Paragraph 2, Purposeful Destruction, and Special Review is required to maintain the non- conformities of the structure. The Special Review criteria are addressed below. 26.430.040.Review Standards for Special Review No development subject to special review shall be permitted unless the Planning and Zoning Commission makes a determination that the proposed development complies with all standards and requirements set forth below. 26.430.040(A). Dimensional Requirements Whenever the dimensional requirements of a proposed development are subject to special review, the development application shall only be approved if the following conditions are met: 1. The mass, height, density, configuration, amount of open space, landscaping and setbacks o f the proposed development are designed in a manner that is compatible with or enhances the character of surrounding uses o f land and is consistent with the purposes o f the underlying zone district. The mass, height, density, configuration, aniount of open space, landscaping (other than removal of non-native landscaping as approved as part of the HPC review) and setbacks will essentially remain unchangedflom existing conditions, The current addition to the historic structure was built in the 1980s and has been a part of the neighborhoodfor decades. The owner is proposing to reduce the 2 P14 VI.A. total volume of the structure located in the HLBR top ofslope setback by 26%. The reduction in the footprint wit! also result in a decrease infloor area - which is also non-conforming. 2. The applicant demonstrates that the proposed development will not have adverse impacts on surrounding uses or will mitigate those impacts, including but not limited to the effects of shading, excess traffic, availability ofparking in the neighborhood or blocking of a designated view plane. The proposed development win not have an adverse impact on the surrounding uses and will mitigate those impacts. The use, a duplex, is not a non-conformity as there is su#icient lot size for a duplex use on the Property. The HPC has- already granted a variance forparking -reducing the number of required spaces from four (4) to two (2) spaces. The HPC made specific findings that due to a shared driveway and limitations with placing formal parking on the driveway that there was apractical difficulty that justified the parking variance. The development ivill not create shading, excess tra#ic or block a designated Viell, plane. 26.430.040(81. Replacement of Nonconformine Structures Whenever a structure or portion thereof, which does not conform to the dimensional requirements ofthe zone district in which the properly is located is proposed to be replaced after demolition, the following criteria shall be met: 1. The proposed development shall comply with the conditions of Subsection 26.430.040(A) above; As discussed above the criteriafor dimensional requirements above have been met. 2. There exist special characteristics unique to the property which differentiates the property from other properties located in the same zone district; The property contains a historically designated properly and is located within the HLBR. Although a historic structure overlooking Hallam Lake in and of itself is not unique, the property contains a large addition within the HLBR and although the owner 's desire was simply remodel the property, due to a mold issue the remodel of the property has created special circumstances for the properly. Although mold is not unheard of in Aspen - there are very few cases which f he City of Aspen has had to deal with and there are no City ofAspen regulations (land ilse, building, environmental health or othenvise) addressing mold and what an owner, contractor or third party must do to mitigate the mold in order fo comply with City ofAspen requirements. 3. No dimensional variations are increased, and the replacement structure represents the minimum variance that will make possible the reasonable use of the property; and 3 P15 VI.A. The Applicant is not requesting an increase in dimensional variations. The height and setback non-conformities in the HLBR will actually be decreased as well as the overall jloor areafor the properly. The proposal to maintain the existing non- conformity represents the minimum variance that will make possible the reasonable use of the property. The reasonable use Of the property it that it be permitted to remain in its current configuration, as approved by HPC, and allow the owners to repair the rotted, mold invested material thal the mold remediation expert recommended be removed. For the record, diefollowing dimensional variances are requested as part of this Special Review: • The west side yard-setback requires and 8.8 foot variance to accommodate maintenance of the existing 6.2 foot setback where a15 foot setback is othenvise required: • The east side-yard setback requires a 2.1 foot variance to accommodate maintenance of the existing 1 2.9 foot setback where a 15 foot setback is otherwise required; • The required combined side-yard setbackfor this property is 38 feet but the two existing side yard setback total to just 19.1 feet, resulting in the need for an 18.9 foot variance; and e The allowable site coverage is 33% but the existing site coverage is 34.47%, After the proposed reniodel, the site coverage will be approximately 33.81% -less than 1% over what is allowed in the zone district. • Thefloor areais non-conforming but will be reduced with the proposed remodel as well as the encroachment into the HLBR top of slope setback and progressive height limit. The existing (e.g. pre-construction) floor area was calculated as 5,712 square feet by the project architects, the proposed floor area pursuant to the building permit for the Properly is 5,606 square feet and the allowable floor area is 4,183 squarefeet. HPC did not grant anyfloor area bonus for the Property because of its legal, non-conforming status. As proposed, the project exceeds the allowable floor area by 1,423 square feet. 4. Literal enforcement of the dimensional provisions of the zone district would cause unnecessary hardship upon the owner prohibiting reasonable use of the property. Literal enforcement of the dimensional provisions of the zone district would cause unnecessary hardship upon the owner prohibiting reasonable use of the property. Over one-halfofthe house is located in the HLBR. A ten (10) foot fronf yard setback is required in the R-6 zone district but the historic structure must remain in its current location -· which is setback thirty (30) feet from Lake Avenue - twenty (20) feet more than the requiredfront yard setback. Additionally, the property shares a driveway with the neighbor to the southeast pursuant to a 4 P16 VI.A. shared driveway agreement. Literal enforcement of the dimensional provisions of the zone district would result in an unnecessary hardship upon the owner and would prohibit reasonable use of the property due to the small, awkward size of the developable area, the likely inabilityfor any development to be located in front of the historic resource and the inability to do much in the way of redevelopment without variances jiom the dimensional requirements. Forcing the owner to deniolish the existing non-conforming improvements would create an additional hardship on the owner. 5 P17 U < IMPROVEMENT & TOPOGRAPHIC SURVEY PLAT ~ 2 12 LAKE AVENUE CONDOMINIUMS, UNITS A AND B '\ ' 27 RECORDED OCTOBER 27, 1981 IN PLAT BOOK 12 ATPAGE 33 N ACCORDING TOTHEAMENDEDCONDOMINIUM MAFTHEREOF It.... / . ~ ttk~ 1 '. #4 ~~ "t RECORDEDJANUARY 7,1993 IN PLAT BOOK]OAT PAGE21 ACCORDING TO THE CONDOMINIUM MAP THEREOF i 11'/01.6.P ACCORDING TO THE BOUNDARY LINE AGREEMENT PLAT /430'f,/ftypej *4 ---- r\ RECORDED JANUARY 6, 1995 IN PLATBOOK 35 AT PAGE 92 CITY OF ASPEN, COUNTY OF PnKIN, STATE OF COLORADO r E \ \ /71,60 1-f·¥t* 1.==1 -- :A.-y. 4./ 71¢%''Nie '' C S .h.. 9 GRAPHIC SCALE .

According to a representative of the applicant (Mitch Haas) this includes parking (short 2 on-site spaces), side and combined setbacks, floor area, site coverage (over by 1.5%) and Hallam Lake setback and height. A building permit has been issued for a remodel of the property; however, the amount of demolition that has occurred exceeds the percentage permitted by the building permit and the Land Use Code to maintain a nonconformity. When demolition is triggered, only a replacement structure that conforms with all aspects of the Land Use Code may be replaced unless Special Review is granted for replacement of the existing nonconformities by the Planning and Zoning Commission. The application submittal should address all non-conformities that are being requested to be maintained.

Pursuant to Section 26.312.030, Non-Conforming Structures, a non-conforming structure may be continued in accordance with the Land Use Code. A non-conforming structure can be remodeled and normal maintenance of a non-conforming structure may be performed "without affecting the authorization to continue as a non-conforming structure. The Owner commenced the remodel of the Property, in which the non-conformities could remain, by maintaining at least 61% of the exterior surface roof and wall area as calculated in Section 26.575.020(E) of the Land Use Code. A significant portion (13% percent) of the proposed demolition was agreed to by the Owner to accommodate the desire of City staff and LIPC to modify some of the more undesirable aspects of the 1980s remodel. Notably, the roof line as seen from Lake Avenue and the roof line as seen from Hallam Lake were both removed and lowered as requested by HPC. The City of Aspen Building Department ("Building Deprii-tment") issued a remodel perinit for the Property. Sev:ral i,·,nths ago. during pa: tial demolition on the structure, the general contraclor tor the L- project. 11:irriman Construction, Inc. ("H(:I"), discovered mold throughout both the historic house and non-historic addition. nCI conducted airborne air sampling and engaged a mold expert to determine the best course of act}on with respect to the pervasive mold. HCI carried out the expert's recommendations and remo,ed the mold where it *as seen in dimensional lumber and on plvwood. The Building Departinent was aware of the mold issue at 212 1.ake and, as the City of Aspen ("City") has no regulatior.s with r..:spect to mold and inold remediation. no approval of the remediation was required by tile City 1'0 conforni with the mold expert's recommendation. as well as OSHA guidelines on mold. IICI has been required to replace material that was not part of the original demolition plan. The moldy materials w: It lic replaced with new dimensional Juniber (2xi Os) and plywood sheeting in exactly the same locations. Pursuant to the mold experts' recommendation, additional moldy material must be removed and replaced to adequately address the life, health and safety issues associated with the mold in the existing stitriltre The City has taken tile position that the repair and replacement of mold-infested material constitutes "demolition" as defined in the Land LIse Code and thus demolition has exceeded the 39% threshold of roof and wall surface area that could be removed. The Owner and I-ICI disagree with the proposition that moldy material cannot be replaced without exceeding the demolition limit in the Code. All tojd, in order to adequately address the nicki issue in the structure, 55% of the exterior roof and wall surface area and/or subsurface components -must be repaired. Because the Community Development Department has interpreted the repair of the mold as exceeding the demolition threshold in the Land Use Code, review and approval by the Planning and Zoning Commission ("Commission") for Special Review - Replacement of Non-Conforming Structures is required for 212 Lake. The criteria for Special Review, specific to the replacement of a non- conforming structure. is addressed in Exhibit "A" attached hereto and incorporated herein by re ference.

Non-Conforming Structures A. Authority to continue. A nonconforming structure devoted to a use permitted in the zone district in which it is located may be continued in accordance with the provisions of this Chapter. 212 Lake Avenue is a non-conforming structure. The existing and proposed use as a duplex unit in the R-6 zone district is a permitted use. The Owner is seeking to maintain the existing non-conformities pursuant to Special Review. B. Normal maintenance. Normal maintenance to non-conforming structures may be performed without affecting the authorization to continue as a non-conforming structure. The Property is currently undergoing a significant remodel in order to preserve and restore the historic structure and portions of the non-historic addition. C. Extensions. A non-conforming structure shall not be extended by an enlargement or expansion that increases the non-conformity. A non-conforming structure may be extended or altered in a manner that does not change or that decreases the non-conformity. The proposed remodel of the structure does not extend or enlarge any non- conformity. Additionally, non-conforming height and setbacks in the HLBR and floor area that exceeds allowable floor area in the R-6 zone district will be reduced as a result of this remodel. The remaining criteria in the Section do not apply to this project as Community Development Staff has determined Special Review is more appropriate than additional review from HPC. D. Relocation. A non-conforming structure shall not be moved unless it thereafter conforms to the standards and requirements of the zone district in which it is located. There is no proposal to relocate the structure. E. Unsafe structure. Any portion of a non-conforming structure which becomes physically unsafe or unlawful due to lack ofrepairs and maintenance and which is declared unsafe and unlawful by an authorized city official, but which an owners wishes to restore, repair or rebuild shall only be restored, repaired or rebuilt in conformity with the provisions of this Title. Although physically unsafe due to the mold in the structure, 212 Lake Avenue has not been declared unsafe and unlawful by an authorized city official because the Code is silent on the effect of mold and whether mold is an unsafe condition. The 1 Owner believes the structure should be declared unsafe because ofthe potentially toxic e.ffects of living with mold F. Ability to restore. 1. Non-purposeful destruction. Any non-conforming structure which is demolished or destroyed by an act of nature through any manner not purposefully accomplished by the owner, may be restored as of right if a building permit for reconstruction is issued within twenty-four (24) months o f the date o f demolition or destruction. 2. Purposeful destruction. Any non-conforming structure which is purposefully demolished or destroyed may be replaced with a different structure only if the replacement structure is in conformance with the current provisions of this Title or unless replacement of the non-conformity is approved pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 26.430, Special Review. Any structure which is non-conforming in regards to permitted density o f the underlying zone district may maintain that specific non- conformity only if a building permit for the replacement structure is issued within twelve (12) months of the date of demolition or destruction. The Applicant did not purposefully destroy the mold infested wood, it is being repaired with identical materials. The Community Development Department has nevertheless declared that the repair of this material falls under Paragraph 2, Purposeful Destruction, and Special Review is required to maintain the non- conformities of the structure. The Special Review criteria are addressed below. 26.430.040.Review Standards for Special Review No development subject to special review shall be permitted unless the Planning and Zoning Commission makes a determination that the proposed development complies with all standards and requirements set forth below. 26.430.040(A). Dimensional Requirements Whenever the dimensional requirements of a proposed development are subject to special review, the development application shall only be approved if the following conditions are met: 1. The mass, height, density, configuration, amount of open space, landscaping and setbacks of the proposed development are designed in a manner that is compatible with or enhances the character of surrounding uses of land and is consistent with the purposes of the underlying zone district. The mass, height, density, configuration, amount of open space, landscaping (other than removal of non-native landscaping as approved as part of the HPC review) and selbacks will essentially remain unchanged.tpom existing conditions. The current addition to the historic structure was built in the 1980s and has been a part of the neighborhood for decades. The owner is proposing to reduce the 2 total volume of the structure located in the HLBR top of slope setback by 26%. The reduction in the footprint will also result in a decrease in floor area - which is also non-conforming. 2. The applicant demonstrates that the proposed development will not have adverse impacts on surrounding uses or will mitigate those impacts, including but not limited to the effects of shading, excess traffic, availability of parking in the neighborhood or blocking of a designated view plane. The proposed development will not have an adverse impact on the surrounding uses and will mitigate those impacts. The use, a duplex, is not a non-conformity as there iN sufficient lot size for a duplex use on the Property. The HPC has already granted avariance for parking - reducing the number ofrequired spaces .from.four (4) to two (2) spaces. The HPC made specific findings that due to a shared driveway and limitations with placingformal parking on the driveway that there was apractical difficully that justified the parking variance. The development will not create shading, excess traffic or block a designated view plane. 26.430.040(81. Replacement of Nonconforming Structures Whenever a structure or portion thereof, which does not conform to the dimensional requirements o f the zone district in which the property is located is proposed to be replaced after demolition, the following criteria shall be met: 1. The proposed development shall comply with the conditions of Subsection 26.430.040(A) above; As discussed above the criteria.for dimensional requirements above have been met. 2. There exist special characteristics unique to the property which differentiates the property from other properties located in the same zone district; The property contains a historically designated property and is located within the HLBR. Although a historic structure overlooking Hallam Lake in and of itself is not unique, the properly contains a large addition within the HLBR and although the owner's desire was simply remodel the property, due to a mold issue the remodel of the properly has created special circumstances for the property. Although mold is not unheard of in Aspen - there are very few cases which the City o,f Aspen has had to deal with and there are no City of Aspen regulations (land use, building, environmental health or otherwise) addressing mold and what an owner, contractor or third party must do to mitigate the mold in order to comply with City of Aspen requirements. 3. No dimensional variations are increased, and the replacement structure represents the minimum variance that will make possible the reasonable use o f the property; and 3 The Applicant is not requesting an increase in dimensional variations. The height and setback non-conformities in the HLBR will actually be decreased as well as the overall,floor area for the properly. The proposal to maintain the existing non- conformity represents the minimum variance that will make possible the reasonable use of the property. The reasonable use of the properly it that it be permitted to remain in its current configuration, as approved by HPC, and allow the owners to repair the rotted, mold invested material that the mold remediation expert recommended be removed. For the record, the.following dimensional variances are requested as part of this Special Review: ' The west side yard-setback requires and 8.8 foot variance to accommodate maintenance of the existing 6.2 foot setbackwhere a 15 foot setback is otherwise required; o The east side-yard setback requires a 2.1 foot variance to accommodate maintenance ofthe existing 12.9 foot setback where a 15 foot setback is otherwise required: • The required combined side-yard setback for this property is 38 feet but the two existing side yard setback total tojust 19.1 feet, resulting in the needfor an 18.9 foot variance; and • The allowable site coverage is 33% but the existing site coverage is 34.47%. After the proposed remodel, the site coverage -will be approximately 33.81% - less than 1% over what is allowed in the zone district. 0 The.floor area is non-conforming but will be reduced -with the proposed remodel as well as the encroachment into the HLBR top of slope setback and progressive height limit. The existing (e.g. pre-construction) floor area 11'aS calculated as 5,712 square feet by the project architects, the proposed.floor area pursuant to the building permit for the Property is 5,606 squarefeetandtheallowablefloorareais 4,183 squarefeet. HPC did not grant any floor area bonus for the Property because of its legal. non-conforming status. As proposed, the project exceeds the allowable floor area by 1,423 square feet. 4. Literal enforcement of the dimensional provisions of the zone district would cause unnecessary hardship upon the owner prohibiting reasonable use of the property. Literal enforcement Of the dimensional provisions of the zone district would cause unnecessary hardship upon the owner prohibiting reasonable use of the property. Over one-halfofthe house is locatedin the HLBR. A ten (10) foot front yard setback is required in the R-6 zone district but the historic structure must remain in its current location - -which is setback thirty (30).feet from Lake Avenue - twenty (20)feet more than the required front yard setback. Additionally, the property shares a driveway with the neighbor to the southeast pursuant to a 4 shared driveway agreement. Literal enforcement of the dimensional provisions of the zone district would result in an unnecessary hardship upon the owner and would prohibit reasonable use of the property due to the small, awkward size of the developable area, the likely inability for any development to be located in front of the historic resource and the inability to do much in the way of redevelopment without variances from the dimensional requirements. Forcing the owner to demolish the existing non-conforming improvements would create an additional hardship on the owner. 5 tabbler IMPROVEMENT & TOPOGRAPHIC SURVEY PLAT 212 LAKE AVENUE CONDOMINIUMS UNITS A AND B \~ ACCORDING TO THE CONDOMINIUM MAP THEREOF ~U~RACA~ „91.,0¥., RECORDED OCTOBER 27, 1981 IN PLAT BOOK 12 AT PAGE 33 1 ACCORDING TO THE AMENDED CONDOMINIUM MAP THEREOF lO~-10UlgkU¥..$1 ACCORDING TO THE BOUNDARY LINE AGREEMENT PLAT ~ RECORDED JANUARY 7, 1993 IN PLAT BOOK 30 AT PAGE 21 34\ ~Icrr¥c,--- ./La.....8.1//E~ / RECORDED JANUARY 6, 1995 IN PLAT BOOK 35 AT PAGE 92 w.fy '12 .L E 0 ' .

According to a representative of the applicant (Mitch Haas) this includes parking (short 2 on-site spaces), side and combined setbacks, floor area, site coverage (over by 1.5%) and Hallam Lake setback and height. A building permit has been issued for a remodel of the property; however, the amount of demolition that has occurred exceeds the percentage permitted by the building permit and the Land Use Code to maintain a nonconformity. When demolition is triggered, only a replacement structure that conforms with all aspects of the Land Use Code may be replaced unless Special Review is granted for replacement of the existing nonconformities by the Planning and Zoning Commission. The application submittal should address all non-conformities that are being requested to be maintained.
