RE: Insubstantial PD and Plat Amendment for 64 Pitkin Way/Lot 2, Pitkin
Reserve (Parcel Identification Number 2735-014-07-002)
To Whom it May Concern:
Please consider this letter as a request for an insubstantial amendment to the Third
Amended Plat for 64 Pitkin Way, which was recorded on May 16, 2019 in Plat Book
125 at Page 33, as Reception No. 655976. The plat was last amended to include the
hot tub improvements in the envelope, and the Applicant would now like to
modify the exterior footprint of the residence to accommodate a remodel that will
involve the addition of an elevator tower and exercise room. The plated building
envelope needs to be modified to accommodate these changes.
The Applicant is seeking to amend the plat to add two areas totaling 450 square
feet on the west side of the existing building footprint to the building envelope
while simultaneously removing 450 square feet of unused building envelope area
from the southeast corner. No other changes to the building envelope or plat are
being requested at this time. The proposed revisions are detailed on the screenshot
images pasted below.

ARCHITECTURAL SITE PLAN - PROPOSED
As with the first through third amendments to the plat, equal amounts of land area
will be eliminated from and added to the building envelope (1:1), essentially
swapping areas to reconfigure the envelope in a manner that facilitates the
planned remodel and additions. There will be no net gain of area within the
building envelope, thus enabling this request to be processed as an Insubstantial
Plat Amendment (as opposed to a Major Plat Amendment). Further, since the
subject property is part of an established Planned Development (PD), this proposal
must also be approved as PD Amendment.
64 PITKIN WAY PD/PLAT AMENDMENT (PID 2735-014-07-002) 3
Per the attached copy of the pre -application conference summary prepared by Jim
Pomeroy, Section 26.445.110.A of the Code provides the applicable review criteria
for this Insubstantial Amendment request and states that an insubstantial
amendment to an approved PD Detailed Review may be authorized by the
Community Development Director according to the following criteria:
1. The request does not change the use or character of the development.
2. The request is consistent with the conditions and representations in the
project's original approval, or otherwise represents an insubstantial change.
3. The request does not require granting a variation from the project's allowed
use(s) and does not request an increase in the allowed height or floor area.
4. Any proposed changes to the approved dimensional requirements are limited to
a technical nature, respond to a design parameter that could not have been
foreseen during the Project Review approval, are within dimensional tolerances
stated in the Project Review, or otherwise represents an insubstantial change.
5. An applicant may not apply for Detailed Review if an amendment is pending.
The request does not change the use or character of the development (single-family
residential use). The proposal represents an insubstantial change from the project's
original approval inasmuch as the use remains single-family residential and the
total land square footage included in the building envelope will not change (i.e., it
remains approximately 8,210 square feet). The amendment does not require a
variation from the allowed uses, and is not requesting an increase, or any change
for that matter, in the allowed height or floor area. The allowable floor area per the
approved PD documents (Book 541 at Page 863) is and will remain 6,920 square
feet. No changes to the dimensional requirements are proposed. Total land area in
the PD is unchanged and the total area of the designated building envelope will
also remain unchanged, albeit with a slightly modified boundary.
A boundary adjustment plat that is consistent with the requirements of Chapter
26.480 will be recorded. A draft of such plat is provided herewith for review and
entitled "Fourth Amended Plat Of: Lot 2, Pitkin Reserve." As such, the applicant
requests that this Insubstantial Plat and PD Amendment be approved. A building
permit application will be filed upon grant of the requested approval and the
recordation of the Fourth Amended Plat.
