APPLICANT: David Beckwith

Menlo Park, CA 94025
REPRESENTATIVE: Suzannah Reid,Reid Architects, Inc.
412 N. Mill St.
Aspen, CO 82611
SUBJECT& SITE OF APPROVAL:
The subject property is located within the Medium-Density (R-6) zone district and is improved
with a duplex dwelling. A large portion of the property is located one hundred feet or less (as
measured horizontally) from the high-water line of the Roaring Fork River. This is considered an
Environmentally Sensitive Area and is subject to heightened review pursuant to Land Use Code
Section 26.435.040,Stream Margin Review
SUMMARY:
The Applicant requests approval for Stream Margin Review to construct an exterior staircase that
connects the ground floor to a second-floor deck.
The proposed location of the staircase and a portion of the residence are located within the 100-
year flood plain(FEMA Flood Zone"AE") of the Roaring Fork River. While the staircase will be
located closer to the Roaring Fork River than the existing dwelling, the footprint of the staircase
will be maintained within the building envelope established pursuant to the First Amended Plat of
the Creek Tree Subdivision (Book 37,Page 54).
The footprint of the staircase will measure approximately thirty-three square feet, which falls
within the allowable area for exterior decks. The staircase requires a single steel post on a concrete
sonotube to support the upper landing as well as a three-foot wide concrete foundation under the
existing patio area to support the base of the stair. Existing grade and landscaping will not be
impacted. RECEIVED

STAFF EVALUATION:
The project and associated improvements are limited to the existing building envelope pursuant to
the First Amendment Plat of the Creek Tree Subdivision(Book 37,Page 54).
The Engineering Department and the City's Flood Administrator have reviewed the application,
pursuant to Section 11.1.1 of the FEMA Guidance for Flood Risk Analysis and Mapping published
December 2020. The footprint of the staircase is represented at thirty-three square feet, which is
not anticipated to impact the base flood elevation. A condition of approval requires the stairway
to be constructed with open risers to allow for water flow. No changes to existing grade are
permitted. All trees and landscaping improvements will not be impacted.
Upon review of the application, Community Development staff determined that a large portion of
an existing patio was constructed outside of the approved building envelope without proper review
or approval from the City. A condition of approval requires the patio and related improvements to
be removed prior to building permit issuance.
Staff finds that the applicant's request meets the requirements for the Stream Margin Review,
subject to the conditions of approval set forth in this document.
