EXEMPTION FROM STREAM MARGIN REVIEW
FOR 824 EAST HOPKINS AVENUE
Address: 824 East Hopkins Avenue, Aspen, Colorado
Parcel ID: 2737-182-03-017
Zone District: RMF; Residential Multi-Family
824 E Hopkins Unit 101 is located in the Stream Margin Review Area as established in
Section 26.435.040 of the Aspen Land Use Code. Ascent 101 LLC, represented by Sarah Roper,
has submitted a land use application for an exterior mechanical unit on the north side of 824 East
Hopkins Avenue. The exterior scope of work includes the following items:
• Installation of an exterior mechanical unit within a recessed cavity on the northeast
corner of 824 E. Hopkins Ave.
• Leveling of gravel below the unit location.
The project qualifies for an exemption as the review criteria can be met:
a) does not add more than 10% of the existing floor area, or more than 25% of areas
exempt from floor area; and
b) does not require the removal of any tree; and
c) no portion of the project will be any closer to high water line than existing development;
and
d) does not fall outside of an existing building envelope; and
e) will cause no increase to the amount of ground coverage within the 100-year flood
plain.
The proposed scope of work includes the installation of a mechanical unit within a recessed
cavity on the northeast corner of the building at 824 E. Hopkins Ave. Ground disturbance is
limited to leveling the gravel directly below the unit location. Staff reviewed the scope of work
and determined that it will have no impact on the Stream Margin. The proposed project does not
include impacts to trees or vegetation, and no concerns are raised related to impacts to
stormwater run- off or water quality.
The scope of work identified above is therefore approved. However, if during the building
permit process the scope of work is amended, a new review will be required that may involve a
more extensive analysis under the Stream Margin Exemption, or Stream Margin Review criteria.
This approval does not constitute a site-specific development plan and will not be issued a
development order. The approval does not convey a vested right and the approved project is
subject to any changes to the Land Use Code prior to building permit submittal.
Approved:
