Parcel ID No. 2727-181-31-015 APPLICANT: Janet S. Crown Living Trust 1421 Crystal Lake Road Aspen, CO 82611 REPRESENTATIVE: Stan Clauson Associates 400 W. Main, Suite 203 Aspen, CO 8611 SUBJECT & SITE OF APPROVAL: The Applicant has requested a Stream Margin Approval for the addition of a hot tub and patio. The subject property is located at 1421 Crystal Lake Road, with a Parcel ID of 2737-181-31-015. SUMMARY: The applicant has requested approval to add a patio adjacent to the side of the house and would include a semi-recessed portable hot tub. The property is located in the Callahan Subdivision originally approved in 1976 and is located in the R-15 zone district with a PD overlay. A PD Amendment was approved in 2012 to memorialize floor area to more modern standards (Reception No. 589855). The Stream Margin review standards seek to protect the Roaring Fork River from development impacts. This property is located adjacent to the Roaring Fork River, and the applicant has utilized the existing stream margin maps on file with the City of Aspen to indicate the Top of Slope and the 100 year flood plain. The area proposed for development is located outside of each. STAFF EVALUATION: Image 1, Subject Property Location Page 2 of 3 Staff finds that the applicant’s request meets the requirements for the Stream Margin Review. The applicant has utilized mapping from the City, dating back to 2002, to illustrate the location of the Top of Slope and the 100 year Flood Plain (mapped AE Line). For this application, this has been deemed acceptable given the location of the improvements. This location for the proposed improvements is to the side, meaning that the improvements are not located any closer to the Roaring Fork River than the current home. The applicant has indicated that no additional floor area is added as part of this proposal, which will be confirmed with the building permit application for the patio and associated mechanical vault. Compliance with required setbacks have not been confirmed and will need to be confirmed as part of the building permit application. The applicant has indicated no trees will be removed as part of this project. DECISION: The Community Development Director finds the request for Exemption from Stream Margin Review at 1421 Crystal Lake Road as noted above is consistent with the allowances in Land Use Code Section 26.435.040(B) and hereby APPROVES the Stream Margin Review as specified above with the following conditions: 1. The applicant must apply for and receive an application for a building permit for construction of the patio, vault and associated improvements. Setbacks and floor area calculations will be confirmed at that time. 2. A tree protection plan must be created, and any required tree removal permits must be approved prior to building permit issuance. No activity or storage of material is allowed within the Tree Protection Fencing. 3. All development and site disturbance must be contained within the established building envelope (setbacks). 4. All development installed within the utility easement is installed at risk by the property owner. If access to any existing utilities, or new utilities are to be placed in the easement, the property shall remove all development, and provide access to the easement at the sole cost of the property owner. 5. A drainage narrative and sketch following the Engineering Guidelines for Minor Grading and Drainage permits must be submitted as part of the building permit.
