RE: 1039 E Cooper AC Installation, Unit 30A
Mr. Larimer:
As requested, we have outlined the
proposed scope of work for the
installation of AC unit located at 1039
East Cooper Avenue Unit 30A.
The applicant is proposing to install a wall
mounted AC unit on the exterior of the
building adjacent to the unit’s patio. The
AC unit is a Mitsubishi M-Series and is
approximately 42” x 37” x 13” – the unit
is stereotypical for what you’d see in
other Aspen homes.
The applicant is also proposing to add three new skylights and an additional non-orthogonal
window which are illustrated in Exhibit A: Exterior Elevations. In speaking with staff, we
understand that both proposals qualify for exemptions and we have provided additional detail
below illustrating compliance with the Land Use Code and regulations for AC units.
As indicated in the images to the
right, the unit is one of the
furthest away from East Cooper
Avenue and is located on the
third floor of the building.

1. 26.575.020.E.5.N
Heating and air
conditioning equipment
and similar mechanical
equipment shall have the
following requirements:
1. Prohibited between any lot line
adjacent to a street and any structure;
and
2. Shall be located at least double the
minimum setback for a primary structure
from any lot line adjacent to a street; and
3. If visible from the street, these features
shall be screened in accordance
with Section 26.575.050, Fences; and
4. If located within a setback not adjacent
to a street, these features shall not
exceed thirty (30) inches above or below
finished grade. These features may be up
to thirty (30) inches above and below
finished grade simultaneously.
The Community Development
Director may approve
exceptions to the
requirements of m) and n)
above. The Community
Development Director must
first determine that the visual
impact of the exemption is
minimal and that no other
reasonable option exists.
Approval shall be in the form
of a recordable administrative
determination.
Response: The proposed AC unit will be mounted on the
exterior of the third story of the building facing towards
the back of the property. Per the City’s regulations, the
Community Development Director has the authority to
approve exceptions to these regulations. The footprint of
the AC unit is minimal, and due to the unit being located
on the back of the building on the southern elevation
hundreds of feet from East Cooper Street. The unit is not
located within a setback. The location of the unit can be
seen in aerial below in orange:
While the applicant is subject to the Multi-Family
Residential Design Standards, we believe that the
standards are not applicable due to the location of the
unit at the rear of the building, and due to the fact that it
is not street facing. We have outlined our responses to
the standards below and have also provided further explanation of the scope of work for your
reference.

Residential Design Standards
Administrative Review
Section 26.410.020.B. of the Land Use Code requires an Administrative Review for compliance with the Residential Design Standards (RDS) for
all residential projects, unless otherwise exempted pursuant to Section 26.410.010.C.
All residential projects affecting the exterior of the building shall submit for RDS Administrative Review prior to building permit submittal. If
exterior work is proposed, and the scope of work meets one of the exemptions listed above, staff shall provide a signed exemption form to be
included in the building permit application.
Review Process:
The Community Development Department staff shall review an application for applicability and compliance with Chapter 26.410, Residential
Design Standards. If the application complies with all applicable standards as written, a signed Checklist and stamped plan set shall be provided
to the applicant to be included with building permit submission.
If the application does not comply with one or more applicable standards, an unsigned Checklist and redlined plan set shall be emailed to the
applicant including comments from staff on which standard(s) the application does not comply with and a description of why the standard(s) is
not compliant. The applicant shall be provided the opportunity to revise and resubmit the design in response to the comments. Staff will keep an
application open for 30 days from the date an unsigned Checklist is emailed to the applicant. If after such time no revisions are submitted, the
application will expire.
Application for RDS Administrative Review:
An application for RDS Administrative Review that DOES NOT require Alternative Compliance (see Page 2) shall be submitted to the Community
Development front desk on a USB drive or emailed to planneroftheday@gmail.com. Applicants will be notified of received application by email
and if additional documents are required. Certain application requirements may be waived by staff depending on the scope of work.
An application for RDS Administrative Review shall include the following documents in digital format:
• Site improvement survey certified by a registered land surveyor (no older than one year from submittal date)
• Proposed Site plan (scaled 24”x36”)
• Proposed Floor plans (scaled 24”x36”)
• Proposed Elevations (scaled 24”x36”)
• Existing Elevations if a remodel (scaled 24”x36”)
• Complete scope of work noting all exterior areas affected by the proposed project
• Complete RDS applicant checklist (attached) addressing how each standard is met with sheet references for each standard
Page 1 of 2
Alternative Compliance or Variation:
Pursuant to 26.410.020.C, projects that do not meet the criteria for Administrative Review or Alternative Compliance (as determined by staff)
may be reviewed by the Planning & Zoning Commission, or HPC if appropriate, at the applicant’s request. An applicant may choose to apply
directly for a Variation from the Planning & Zoning Commission or Historic Preservation Commission, pursuant to Chapter 26.410.020.C.
A pre-application summary will be required for an Alternative Compliance or Variation request.
Application for Alternative Compliance or Variation:
An application for Alternative Compliance or a Variation will require a pre-application summary provided by Community Development staff,
and shall be submitted as a Land Use Application. Required application submittal items shall be outlined in the pre-application summary.
