EXEMPTION FROM STREAM MARGIN REVIEW
FOR 314 N. RIVERSIDE DRIVE
Address: 314 N. Riverside Dr.
Parcel ID: 273718159002
Zone District: R-6
314 N. Riverside Dr. is located in the Stream Margin Review Area as established in Section 26.435.040
of the Aspen Land Use Code. Kim Raymond Architects have submitted a land use application for a
remodel of an existing duplex unit that is primarily an interior remodel. The exterior scope of work
includes the following items:
Replacement of existing doors and windows
Reconfiguration of existing doors and windows
Addition of one new window on east facade
Repair and repainting of existing siding
Installation of new, cable railing around existing lightwells
The project qualifies for an exemption as the review criteria can be met:
a) does not add more than 10% of the existing floor area, or more than 25% of areas exempt from floor area
b) does not require the removal of any tree
c) no portion of the project will be any closer to high water line than existing development
d) does not fall outside of an existing building envelope
e) will cause no increase to the amount of ground coverage within the 100-year flood plain
This home, while in the review area is separated from the river by Riverside Dr. Staff has reviewed the
scope of work and has determined that it will have no impact on the Stream Margin. There is no
ground/site work proposed as part of project, there are no impacts to trees or vegetation, and no
concerns are raised related to impacts to stormwater run-off, or water quality.
The scope of work identified above is therefore approved. However, if during the building permit
process, the scope of work is amended, a new review will be required that may involve a more extensive
analysis under the Stream Margin Exemption, or Stream Margin Review criteria.
This approval does not constitute a site-specific development plan and will not be issued a development
order. The approval does not convey a vested right and the approved project is subject to any changes
to the Land Use Code prior to building permit submittal.
Approved:
