PROPERTY OWNER: 810 WEST SMUGGLER STREET LLC
REPRESENTATIVE: Ralph Dupps
DESCRIPTION:
810 West Smuggler is in the Medium-Density Residential (R-6) zone district. Per the Pitkin County Assessor,
the lot is approximately 6,000 square feet in area. West Smuggler provides access to the property. The
subject property is presently vacant, previously developed with a single-family residence that has been razed.
The applicant would like to receive formal confirmation of pre-development grade prior to re-development. In
order to establish pre-development topography, which will then be considered as natural grade by the City, a
land use application must be submitted for consideration by the Community Development Director. The
Applicant must provide a signed and stamped pre-development topography survey from a licensed surveyor.
Essential to the application is evidence of the pre-development topography. The following language from the
Land Use Code (Chapter 26.575) describes the review process:
“In instances where the natural grade of a property has been affected by prior development activity, the
Community Development Director may accept an estimation of pre-development topography prepared
by a registered land surveyor or civil engineer. The Director may require additional historical
documentation, technical studies, reports, or other information to verify a pre-development topography.”
The submitted materials will also be evaluated by the City of Aspen Engineering Department to review
and verify the estimated pre-development topography.
Following are the relevant sections of the Municipal Code and details on how to move forward.
