Galena Street Aspen, CO 81611 Re: Amendment to Resolution No. 58, Series of1994 To Whom It May Concern: I am the owner of and live at 1205 Riverside Dr., Aspen, CO and my property is affected by Resolution No. 58, Series of 1994 ("Resolution No. 58"), which prohibits certain improvements within a twenty-five foot buffer on properties in the Lacet Subdivision (f/k/a East Cooper Subdivision) which border lots in the Riverside Subdivision. Resolution No. 58 prohibits improvements in the setback between the Lacet and Riverside Subdivisions which would normally be allowed in setbacks on most other properties in the City of Aspen. As the property owner of 1205 Riverside Dr., I support a modification to or vacating Resolution No. 58 which would permit building eaves, architectural projections, balconies, fire escapes, uncovered porches, slabs, patios, walks and steps, fences and walls and other improvements which are permitted in setback for properties located in the City of Aspen.

So, the same improvements that are permiTed on Fred Lane in the setbacks and the rest of Riverside Subdivision would be permiTed in the setbacks for the Lacet Subdivision lots if the amendment is approved.

I believe he has spoken to you about the issue with the Lacet Subdivision lots and there being a restriction that no improvements be located 25’ from the Riverside lots boarding Lacet that has never been adhered to. We are going to submit an application to the City and they have asked for letters from the Riverside neighbors. Attached is a draft letter for you to review and sign if acceptable ‐ I can also sent to you to sign via DocuSign. I just put your name on the letter but can add Edith’s name as well if you would prefer ‐ I don’t think it matters to the City. Please let me know if you have any questions.

If I remember correctly, the original terms of allowing the Lacet to be subdivided insisted on that buffer zone. I believe the proposal is an encroachment on the Riverside subdivision that will result in further harm to our privacy and the environment. The general trend in construction seems to be to clear-cut the lot, level it like a drilling pad, and to build right up to the setbacks (see the house at Fred Lane and Riverside Dr.). The new houses have heat pumps that run 24/7 and are, perversely, usually placed on the side of the house closest to the neighbors (again see the house at Fred Lane and Riverside). It is terribly sad to have to live with this constant noise (which the City assures me is perfectly legal). At least the 25' buffer zone will give those neighbors some of the protection from this that we all deserve. Thank you.
