IMPORTANT NOTE:
Zoning plan check is only one part of the often complex process by which projects are reviewed for
approval. These parts are interrelated and are sometimes conflicting. Because we are issuing these
first review round comments prior to the time that all review agencies have completed their work,
you are receiving incomplete comments from the City as a whole. It is ultimately the applicant's
responsibility to respond to the requirements of ALL review agencies. If you choose to begin
updating plans and responding to comments prior to receiving feedback from ALL review

5090 to schedule a required appointment for re-submittal with your Permit Coordinator. You will
be required to bring a copy of this letter, along with ALL other staff comment letters, with ALL

ZONING PLAN REVIEW COMMENTS AND CORRECTIONS
1. Please provide deck-exemption, existing and proposed. The deck-exemption is based on 15% of
allowable floor area. If deck exemption exceeds 15% or allowable; floor area calculation of the
existing house will be required.
Zone district: R-15/PD
Allowable Floor area listed on Deed of Conveyance
Floor Area Calculations based on COA(City of Aspen) Code 1986
Deck-exemption: 15% of allowable floor area
Lot 4 Deed of Conveyance: allowable floor area 4,200 square feet

Response:
A brief History of 35 Ute
2006 Permit submitted and approved for a total remodel of the house
2010 Permit submitted and approved for changing a covered BBQ area to an office, and an
exterior reconfiguration. Please refer to the attached PDF—Existing FAR Calculations—
11.01.10.
Sheets G-002 thru G-004 were the FAR sheets submitted and accepted for the 2010 permit. At
the end of the project we had 3.08 sf of available FAR and no available deck area for the
property, so the required deck area used up 70.91 sf of FAR. A summation from the sheet G-002
is shown below:
Available FAR in 2010 177.94 sf
2010 New FAR 103.95 sf
2010 Deck area counted as FAR 70.91 sf (174.86 sf total)
Remaining FAR 3.08 sf
Thus,per 26.575.020 D.4, to have the deck FAR for a new stair from the main level deck to the
lower level, we have to take existing deck area from one area that is equal to the size of the new
stair. Please refer to the permit Sheets FAR1 thru FAR3. FAR1 describes the size of the new
stair(47 sf). FAR2 describes the size of the existing deck on the upper level of 102.66 sf. FAR3
describes the size of the area we are taking out of the deck to give to the new stair. (49.5 sf).
At the end of this permit we will still have 3.08 of available FAR and 2.5 sf of available deck
area(49.5 sf- 47sf) for the property.
