GROWTH MANAGEMENT APPLICATION
I. 'Location: Lot G and East 1/3 Lot F, Block 61
City-of Aspen; Also to be
111 West Hyman Street
II. Proposal:
This proposal is being submitted on behalf of William D.
Snare, who has just completed a single family house with
approval under a subdivision exemption at 113 West Hyman.
We are proposing to duplex that house by adding an identical
unit to the e~st side of the house. This application was
submitted in 1980 but had %o be rejected because with the
two employee units the property would have exceeded
permitted density on the R/MF lot. Since that time, t.he
Employee Housing Bonus Overlay was passed for this zone
district permitting the density. If approval is obtained,
we would also ask for ~Employee Housing Bonus Overlay
Re-zoning to complete one controlled one bedroom employee
unit in the garden level of the new unit. Approval has been
obtained for re-zoning of 113 W. Hyman for construction of a
similar employee unit.
III. Description of Development:
A. A 6" cast iron Aspen City water main is located in the
street, directly in front of the proposed duplex with
sufficient capacity to serve all of the proposed develop-
ment, including the employee units if approved. The
estimated daily demand for the one-half duplex and
employee unit would be 180 gallons.
B. A City of Aspen sanitary sewer main is located in'the
alley, directly behind-the .proposed site with sufficient
capacity to serve the proposed unit. The estimated
sewer demand for the one-half duplex and potential
employee unit would be approximately 180 gallons per day.
C. Surface water will be drained to the street where suffi-
cient storm drainage exists to accommodate such run-off.
D. City fire protection exists at the site with the nearest
fire hydrant approximately 100 feet from the unit. The
Aspen fire station is approximately six blocks from the
site.
E. The total development area is 3,750 square feet (one-half
of the existing house site of 7,500 square feet.) The
one-half duplex would be two stories with garden level
basement, consisting of approximately 2,000 square feet
of living space on the upper two floors, including
three bedr'ooms, three full baths, living room, dining room,
kitchen, wet bar and utility room. There will be an
attached, enclosed, one car garage. The garden level
basement will include approximately 800 square feet of
living space with one bedroom, bath, kitchen, living
room/dining room and storage space. An owners lock
storage closet is also located in the basement. The
upper unit would be fr'ee market and the lower unit
controlled employee housing for one or two persons. The
sale or rental would be at or below the permitted level
under the City of Aspen moderate rent guidelines. The
nearest elementary school ik approximately three blocks,
while the middle school and high ~chool are approximately
three miles west. School buses run on Main Street, two
blocks north.
F. It is estimated that no more than two cars will be permitted
in conjunction with the one-half duplex and one car
for ~he .employee unit, resulting ~in no more than-three
cars of additional traffic somewhat regularly. Casual
traffic~of twQ to three cars caused by guest uisits will
also result. Hyman Street and all intersecting streets
are paved and include curbs and gutters. All are in
excellent condition, having been recently seal coated.
On-site parking for at least four cars will be provided
for the two units (one per bedroom.) Off-site parking is on
adjacent streets. Buses pass in front of the property ~
with stops on each corner. Additional routes are on Main
Street two blocks north. Proximity to town (3 blocks),
availability of buses and good roads for bicycles
provide an excellent disincentive to automobile use. As
mentioned, autos on premises will be restricted by lease
provision to the number of spaces required by ordinance.
G. Parks are located, one_.block away ~a~ Main and .Garmisch ....
(Paepke) with Wagner Park only two blocks east. The
hospital is three miles west, while the airport is five
miles we~t. We do not foresee a significant impact
on public transportation caused by this development.
H. The police department is located six blocks east, with
the response time less than five minutes. The proposed
development should not require any additional police
department personnel~
-3-
I. Retail and commercial activities in the central business
district are three blocks east. The development impact
would assist, but~not significantly burden, existihg
establishments. It is.anticipated that no more than six
to eight persons would occupy both units at any time
(one to two in the employee unit, four to six in the
one-half duplex.)
J. There would be little impact on adjacent properties.
Where one house and one employee unit existed, one
additional free market unit and one additional employee
units would be built with off street parking provided
in compliance with City Ordinances. There is a duplex
recently completed at 117-119 West Hyman, adjacent to
this proposed duplex, which represented Phase I of this
project. This proposal would be the final phase of the
development which would be comprised of four free market
units in the two duplexes plus four controlled one-
bedroom employee units. On the west end of the block
is a pre-existing duplex across from the Cottonwoods
and Townhouse West. On the east end of the block
adjacent to the proposed unit a new duplex is under
construction on two lots. Across the alley is a lodge
(The Fireside Lodge) and another condominium/office
combination.
Ko If approved, construction would commence by May 1, with
completion anticipated by November 1, 1981. There would
be no phasing as this would represent the final phase
of the development.
As stated above, these units would complete development
of the site. It will also assist in solving Aspen's
critical housing shortage for employees by developing
one housing unit for each free market unit. In order to
provide th~ rent/sale restricted employee unit in the
lower level, approval should be granted subject to
re-zoning the property to employee housing bonus overlay
which will be diligently pursued.
