The extension request is for ninety(C~)".day~.until October 22, 1994. Staff recommends approval of the ninety day extension. The applicant originally requested a sixty day extension, but at first reading the applicant revised the application to request a ninety day extension. The revised request is based upon the slow permit review process. Council approved Ordinance 39 on first reading at the August 22 meeting. Please see attached Ordinance 39 Series of 1994. This proposal is not affected bythe proposed Overlay zone district as the building permit application was submitted May 26, 1994. BACKGROUND: Council approved the 1990 GMQS allocation for 409 East Hopkins on December 17, 1990 and an excess allocation on January 24, 1991. Council approved a six month extension of the GMQS allocation in December of 1993. The allocation would have expired January 24, 1994. With the six month extension the GMQS allocation expired July 24, 1994. It is the policy of the Planning Department that if an extension request is made prior to the expiration date then an extension may be requested and considered. STAFF COMMENTS: The applicant, Kandycom Inc., submitted an application for a building permit on May 26, 1994. That application has been making its way through the review process which includes plan check by the Zoning and Building Departments and other departments such as Engineering and Environmental Health. Section 24-8-108 of the Municipal Code states that a development allotment and all other development approvals shall expire on the day after the third anniversary of the latest date of project approval, unless a building permit is obtained and the project is developed, or unless an exemption from or extension of the approval is obtained. For developments other than a subdivision, an application for extension shall be submitted prior to the third anniversary of the date of approval of a site specific development plan which shall demonstrate to the satisfaction of city council that: (a) Those conditions applied to the project at the time of its final approval which were to have been met as of the date of application for exemptions have been complied with; and RESPONSE: The applicants have complied with all the conditions of approval that were required. As part of review of the building permit application, the required impacts fees of $512,171.48 were recently paid for parking, open space, and park development impact fees. In addition, the applicants purchased and turned over to the Housing Office the Smuggler Mountain Apartments which added 11 apartments to the community's affordable housing inventory. (b) Any improvements which were required to be installed by the applicant prior toconstruction of the project have been installed; and RESPONSE: No public improvements were required of this project until the issuance of building permits. The applicant is working with specific city departments to determine the improvements that will be required during development. (c) The project has been diligently pursued in all reasonable respects, and the extension is in the best interest of the community. RESPONSE: The application is diligently pursuing a building permit and is currently working with several city departments to complete the permit review so a building permit may be issued. Because of the extensive review of the project and the number of applications that were submitted in May, the building permit is still being reviewed and the six month extension period has run out before the permit could be issued (it ran out July 24, 1994). Therefore the applicant is requesting a 90 day extension while the work on the building permits continue. Although staff recommended against additional extensions after the initial six month extension, the applicant has been diligently pursuing the issuance of the building permit. Therefore, staff believes that 90 more days is appropriate. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval for a ninety (90) day extension of the 1990 Commerical GMQS allocation for 409 East Hopkins. The ninety (90) day extension shall begin at the date of expiration which is July 24, 1994 and expire on October 22, 1994. RECOMMENDED MOTION: "I move to adopt OrdinanCe 39, Series of 1994 extending the 1990 Commercial GMQS allocation for 409 East Hopkins from July 24, 1994 to October 22, 1994."

On ~ay 26, 1994, an application £or a building pe~n~t was s~bm~tted to the Aspen/P~tk~n County Building Department. ~he Building Department d~d not take any action on the application unt~ 3u~y 11, ~994 at which tLme B~ Drued~ng, the ~on~ng O~cer, ~nd~cated that p~oject meets a~ zoning area and ~equ~rements.

Attorneys At I.~.w City Council July 14, 1994 Page2 application is approved. By that time, the GMQS allotment approval will have expired. Based upon the past experience of Bill Poss & Associates, Kandycom believes it submitted the building application within a reasonable time to obtain approval prior to expiration of the GMQS allotment, but there have been delays beyond its control. Timing of Application. Section 8-108 of the Code requires that an application for extension of awarded allotments under the provisions of the growth management quota system be submitted prior to the third anniversary of the date of approval of a site specific development plan. The third anniversary of the date of approval was January 24, 1994 and the extension of the approvals expires on July 24, 1994. Therefore, this application is submitted within the time requirements of the Code. Compliance with Approval Conditions. While there were a number of conditions imposed on the project as a subject of approval, none of them needed to be fulfilled prior to the date of this application. Construction of Improvements. No improvements were required to be installed by Kandycom prior to construction of the project. Affordable housing was provided by Kandycom well in advance of the building permit application at a cost of $925,000.00. Best Interests of the Community. The project received approval by the HPC, indicating a greater compatibility with surrounding buildings than the existing structure. In addition, the substantial development exactions to be paid at the time of building permit approval will help pay for planned public improvements. Based on the foregoing, Kandycom hereby requests a sixty day extension of the GMQS allotment approvals for the Property. Sincerely, AUSTIN, PEIRCE & SMITH, P.C.

LOCATION: 409 East Hopkins, Commercial Core Zone District, Aspen APPLICANT: K~ndycom Inc., as represented by Bill Poss & Associates PROPOSAL: The applicants received a GMQS c0mmerical allocation for 6,823 square feet of net leasable square footage in 1990. The existing building on-site represents 2,375 square feet of net leasable. A total of 9198 square feet of net leasable commercial square foota~[e was approved for the 409 East Hopkins development plan and a total of 11,629 square feet of floor area. The development ~pproval was for a two story commercial building with an open courtyard on the second floor. The applicant proposes to reconfigure ~he courtyard making it "more accessible and inviting from the street level". According to the applicant, the facade will be broken at the upper level so the mass of the building will compliment the rhythm created by the historic landmarks on either corner. No increase in floor area or net leasable square footage will result in this amendment. STAFF COMMENTS: Pursuant to Section 24-8-107, a development order approving a development allotment may be amended and approved by the planning!director prior to construction if the change is a minor amendment which the planning director finds has no effect on the conditions and representations made during the original project review. .. RESPONSE: The reconfigured courtyard does not change the floor area or net leasable square footage that was approved. According to the submitted plans the total net leasable for the development will be 9,11~ square feet and the total floor area 11,626 square feet. HPC carefull~ reviewed this project during the original GMQS review and scoring. iThe HPC has reviewed the proposed changes and granted conceptual approval to the amendments. HPC must grant final approval before the issuance of any building permits incorporating these amendments.

HOPKINS Dear Leslie: Please consider this letter and the accompanying information a formal application for an insubstantial amendment to the GMQS development order for the above referenced project. The proposed change was reviewed and approved by the HPC on December 8, 1993. The nature of our change is cosmetic and no increases to the proposed F.A.R. or net leasable areas are contemplated. The enclosed plans show F.A.R. and net leasable numbers. As you will notice, the proposed changes will be more of an enhancement to the surrounding neighborhood. The courtyard on the upper level has been reconfigured to make it more accessible and inviting from the street level. The facade has broken at the upper level so that the mass of the building seems to more compliment the rhythm created by the historic landmarks on either corner. Finally, we would like to point out that .none of the conditions and representation made during the Grv1QS process are comprised by this revision. Please review this information and process our application as soon as practical. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call.
