Land Use Review Fee Policy
The City of Aspen has established a review fee policy for the processing of land use applications. A flat fee or
deposit is collected for land use applications based on the type of application submitted.
A flat fee is collected by Community Development for applications which normally take a minimal and
predictable amount of staff time to process. Review fees for other City Departments reviewing the application
(referral departments) will also be collected when necessary. Flat fees are cumulative – meaning an application
with multiple flat fees must be pay the sum of those flat fee. Flat fees are not refundable.
A review fee deposit is collected by Community Development when more extensive staff time is required.
Actual staff time spent will be charged against the deposit. Various City staff may also charge their time spent
on the case in addition to the case planner. Deposit amount may be reduced if, in the opinion of the Community
Development Director, the project is expected to take significantly less time to process than the deposit
indicates. A determination on the deposit amount shall be made during the pre-application conference by the
case planner. Hourly billing shall still apply.
All applications must include an Agreement to Pay Application Fees. One payment including the deposit for
Planning and referral agency fees must be submitted with each land use application, made payable to the City
of Aspen. Applications will not be accepted for processing without the required fee.
The Community Development Department shall keep an accurate record of the actual time required for the
processing of a land use application requiring a deposit. The City can provide a summary report of fees due at
the applicant’s request. The applicant will be billed for the additional costs incurred by the City when the
processing of an application by the Community Development Department takes more time or expense than is
covered by the deposit. Any direct costs attributable to a project review shall be billed to the applicant with no
additional administrative charge. In the event the processing of an application takes less time than provided for
by the deposit, the department shall refund the unused portion of the deposited fee to the applicant. Fees shall
be due regardless of whether an applicant receives approval.
Unless otherwise combined by the Director for simplicity of billing, all applications for conceptual, final and
recordation of approval documents shall be handled as individual cases for the purpose of billing. Upon conceptual
approval all billing shall be reconciled, and past due invoices shall be paid prior to the Director accepting an
application for final review. Final review shall require a new deposit at the rate in effect at the time of final
submission. Upon final approval all billing shall be again reconciled prior to the Director accepting an application for
review of technical documents for recordation.
The Community Development Director may cease processing of a land use application for which an unpaid invoice is
30 or more days past due. Unpaid invoices of 90 days or more past due may be assessed a late fee of 1.75% per
month. An unpaid invoice of 120 days or more may be subject to additional actions as may be assigned by the
Municipal Court Judge. All payment information is public domain.
All invoices shall be paid prior to issuance of a Development Order or recordation of development agreements and
plats. The City will not accept a building permit for a property until all invoices are paid in full. For permits already
accepted, and unpaid invoice of 90 days or more days may result in cessation of building permit processing or
issuance of a stop work order until full payment is made.
The property owner of record is the party responsible for payment of all costs associated with a land use application
for the property. Any secondary agreement between a property owner and an applicant representing the owner (e.g.
a contract purchaser) regarding payment of fees is solely between those private parties.

#7 Written Description
The proposed scope at the Yellow Brick complies with HPC review criteria in that there are no proposed
changes or alterations to the design of the entrances. The intent is to replace the deteriorating concrete stairs
and site walls in their existing footprints and configurations. The proposed replacement handrails and guardrails
are intended to comply with current codes and utilize painted, round tube steel which is harmonious with the
existing design.
The proposed scope does not affect building placement, mass or scale. This remodel project intends to maintain
the materials and color of the existing structure and components.
This repair project proposes to modify the following components of the property:
West Entrance
1. Please see existing photos and demolition scope on 1/A1.0
2. The existing concrete stairs and retaining walls are proposed to be removed and replaced in their
existing footprint and configuration with snow melted stairs to improve safety.
3. The existing hand and guardrails are to be replaced in the same locations but updated to comply with
current codes, please see sheet A1.3.
4. The existing guardrails are an amalgam of round tube steel, flat steel bar and PVC. Direction from
Natalie Feinberg Lopez in 2022 was to utilize round steel tube for all hand and guardrail components.
Please see A1.3 for an elevation and notation describing the proposed handrails and guardrails.
East Entrance:
1. Please see existing photos and demolition scope on 1/A1.1
2. The existing concrete stairs and retaining walls are proposed to be removed and replaced in their

current codes, please see sheet A1.4.
4. An existing guardrail (please see 6/A1.1) is to be removed as a guardrail is not required here.
5. Damaged brick in the low retaining walls is to be replaced by brick recovered from the rear of the these
walls. Replacement brick at the rear of the walls is to match existing.
6. A small section of stair is to be filled in at the landing to cure the existing condition of standing water
and behind the brick retaining wall. Please see 1/A1.1 for the existing condition and 1/A1.4, south side of
landing, noted as “Reduce stair width at existing wall” for proposed condition.
7. The existing guardrails are made of round tube steel. Please see A1.4 for an elevation and notation
describing the proposed round tube steel handrails.
South ADA Entrance:
1. Please see existing photos and conditions on 1/A1.2
2. ADA compliant railings are proposed to improve the utility of the existing ADA entrance.
