Sarah,
I have reviewed the revised submittal and with the return of 2 full size off street parking
spaces, I have no further objections.
I do have 2 comments though:
1. Emergency overflow path of dry well: I don't have any information on this nor any idea
of where it is planned. When there is a heavy rainfall, I get a stream-flow of mud and water
from the Aspen St end of the alley into the back patio area of 127 E Hallam. I will object if
this emergency flow is directed to the alley - unless the City and/or applicant corrects the
current drainage problem. Please let me know who will be in charge in the engineering
department for approving the plan so I am able to weigh in.
2. Returning to wood shakes on the roofs: Areas where roof projections are less than 3 feet
from the property line need to be 1 hour fire resistance
rated on the underside. I am surprised wood roofs are still allowed based on the fire danger
they present. I know the wood shacks are HPC desirable, but seems dangerous with the new
climate in Aspen.
3. CMP: I would like to know who specifically I can speak with to ensure that the general
contractor has a parking plan for his staff and his subcontractors. I recall when Fox Crossing
was developed, they had a specific plan to prevent every employee and subcontractor from
being allowed to park on site. I don't care about the street parking issues but have experienced
significant issues in the past with the alley parking that prevented myself and renters in 127
from entering and leaving the alley parking spaces. Many calls to the parking department
didn't resolve it and they are only open on weekdays. The prevention of the current chronic
alley parking that has been occurring for the recent remodel after the ownership change, as
well as maintenance personnel visiting the home is also at issue. It needs to be different than
what was allowed for Sherlock Homes when it was the general Contractor on the 2 properties
that were redeveloped on the other end of the alley.
Thank you for your concern and follow-up.
Warm regards,
Denise
