The parcel contains an existing, single family residence that was built prior to Stream Margin review standards. In 1990, a deck adjacent to the Roaring Fork River received Stream Margin Approval. The property contains a ditch and related ditch easement, and numerous trees. The property does not have an established building envelope. The established top of slope for the property would not allow for redevelopment of the property under a full Stream Margin Review. Initial evaluation for the location of an alternative top of slope does not significantly improve this situation The proposed project is requesting a Stream Margin Exemption review approval in order to conduct an extensive remodel of the existing residence and related features. While the remodel will likely transform the residence, the footprint remains similar and proposed changes have been presented as remaining under the thresholds required in meeting the criteria for exemption. Additionally, the project must remain under the 40% demolition threshold as measured by the Land Use Code – as the home and many of the related features are non-conforming as they relate to the Stream Margin Review Area. Importantly, City of Aspen Engineering and Parks Departments will be referral agencies on this project. The applicant is encouraged to work with these departments to better understand requirements and respond with design solutions in regards to storm water management, protection/enhancement of riparian zone.
