MEMORANDUM
TO: Aspen Planning and Zoning Commission
FROM: Sara Nadolny, Planner
THRU: Jennifer Phelan, Deputy Community Development Director
RE: Resolution __, 2016. Residential Design Standard Variation Request
Public Hearing continued from 3/21/2017
MEETING DATE: June 21, 2016
APPLICANT /OWNER:
433 Bleeker KS LLC
REPRESENTATIVE:
Ryan Doremus, Thunderbowl Architects
LOCATION:
433 W. Bleeker St. The property is Lot
2 of the Strandberg Lot Split, as
recorded in Plat Book 14, Pg 1.
CURRENT ZONING & USE:
This is currently a vacant lot located in
the Medium Density Residential (R-6)
zone district.
PROPOSED LAND USE:
The applicant is proposing to construct a
single-family residence on the site.
SUMMARY:
The applicant is proposing to construct a single-
family residence on the vacant parcel, and is
requesting a variation from the Residential Design
Standard 410.030.B.1 – Articulation of Building
Mass.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff continues to recommend the Planning and
Zoning Commission deny the request for a
Residential Design Standard Variance, noting that a
variance is not necessary to create a code-compliant
single-family residence on the site.
SPECIAL NOTE: At the March 21st public hearing the project representative requested to continue
the hearing for the opportunity to restudy the structure and provide a design that more closely
meets the intent of the Residential Design Standard 26.410.030.B(1) Articulation of Building
Mass. As a reminder, the intent of this standard is “to reduce the overall perceived mass and bulk
of buildings as viewed from all sides.” The code provides three options to satisfy the requirement,
which include:
1) Maximum Sidewall Depth – “A principle building shall be no greater than fifty (50)
feet in depth as measured from the front most wall of the front façade to the rear wall…”
or
P1
VI.A.
Page 2 of 10
433 W. Bleeker – RDS Variation Request
P&Z April 18, 2017
2) Off-set with One-Story Ground Level Connector – “A principal building shall
provide a portion of its mass as a subordinate one story, ground floor connecting
element. The connecting element shall be at least ten (10) feet in length and shall be
setback at least five (5) feet from the sidewall on both sides of the building. The
connecting element shall occur at a maximum of forty-five (45) feet in depth as
measured from the front most wall of the front façade to the rear wall…” or
3) Increased Side Setbacks at Rear and Step Down – “A principal building shall provide
increased side setbacks at the rear of the building. If the principle building is two
stories, it shall step down to one story in the rear. The increased side setbacks and one
story step down shall occur at a maximum of forty-five (45) feet, as measured from the
front-most wall toward the rear wall. The increased side setbacks shall be at least five
(5) feet greater than the side setbacks at the front of the building.”
During the March 21st public hearing the Commission had the opportunity to review a design that
most closely met option 3, above. However, the proposed design failed to step down to a one-
story height at the 45’ building depth, and did not meet the five-foot increased side yard setback
on the western side of the structure.
The applicant requested a variation from the design standard. To grant a variation the Commission
must find the proposed design would:
1. Provide an alternative design approach that meets the overall intent of the
standard as indicated in the intent statement for that standard, as well as the general
intent statement in Section 26.410.010.A.1-3; or
2. Be clearly necessary for reasons of fairness related to unusual site specific
constraints.
During the March hearing Staff was concerned with the massing of the building which spanned a
depth of 61’ prior to stepping down to one story. The western façade was designed with a large,
minimally articulated, two-story wall. The proposed structure was designed with a five-foot side
yard setback along the western side, and the neighboring building was also designed with a five-
foot side yard setback. Given the proximity of the proposed structure to the neighboring property
Staff found the design would benefit from meeting the increased setback required by the standard
to reduce the mass and scale and provide some relief between the structures.
CHANGES TO DESIGN
The applicant has proposed the following changes to the previously submitted design:
The structure’s floor area has been reduced by 81 sq. ft.;
The building’s length has been reduced by 20 inches;
The increased five-foot side yard setback has been met at the 45’ depth on both sides of
the building;
The building’s roof form has been split into different forms (whereas previously it was one
continuous gable); and

The living room chimney has been removed (at the south end of the proposed structure).

STAFF FINDINGS: The intent of the general Residential Design Standards chapter is to “ensure
buildings provide articulation to break up bulk and mass and preserve historic neighborhood scale
and character.” The intent of the specific design standard is to reduce the building’s mass and
scale from all sides of the structure.
Although Staff does note the greater articulation along the western façade, the proposed design
continues to fall short of meeting the requirement of stepping down to a one-story level at 45’,
causing the building to have a greater two-story sidewall depth. The proposed design does not
P4
VI.A.
Page 5 of 10
433 W. Bleeker – RDS Variation Request
P&Z April 18, 2017
achieve meeting the intent of the standard of reducing mass and scale on the western side of the
structure.
Staff finds it important to respect the mass and scale of structures in the west end, and new
development should uphold the Residential Design Standards where they may be achieved. As
stated in Staff’s prior memo, the trees do create a somewhat unique condition for development on
the site; however, this condition does not preclude the applicant’s ability to fully meet the standard,
or one of the other options provided. Despite the “no-development zone” created by the trees, the
requested variance is not necessary to the successful development of a code-compliant single-
family home on the lot.
Staff continues to find that the two-story massing of the proposed design fails to meet the intent of
the general chapter as well as that of the standard in reducing the overall mass/bulk of the building
from all sides. Staff cannot support the applicant’s request for a variance.
Of note, the R-6 zone district requires a ten-foot rear yard setback for principal structures, but
allows a portion of a building that is used solely as a garage to reduce this setback to five feet. The
proposed design adheres to a full ten-foot rear yard setback. The design may benefit from
increasing the garage space to the lesser permitted setback (5’) to provide a greater portion of the
structure that is one-story in height.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Community Development Staff recommends that the Planning and
Zoning Commission deny the Residential Design Standard variance request for the property at 433
W. Bleeker St. If a recommendation of denial is proposed, the alternative motion may be used.
PROPOSED MOTION (all motions are written in the affirmative): “I move to approve
Resolution No. ____, Series of 2017, granting a variation from Residential Design Standard
26.410.030.B.(1), as noted in the application, Exhibit B.
ALTERNATIVE MOTION: “I move to deny Resolution No. ___, Series of 2017, finding that
the request does not meet the criteria for a variation from the Residential Design Standard.”

The City Forester has indicated there are four large trees on the site that are not eligible for removal.
These include one Douglas fir on the east side of the property and three spruce trees at the front,
eastern edge of the site. No development may encroach into the dripline of the trees.

LAND USE REQUEST AND REVIEW PROCEDURES: The applicant is requesting the
following land use approval from the Planning and Zoning Commission:
Residential Design Standard Variance pursuant to Section 26.410.020(C) of the Land
Use Code related to the construction of a single-family residence. A variation to the
Residential Design Standard shall be considered at a public hearing before the Planning
and Zoning Commission who may approve, approve with conditions or deny the proposal
based on the following review standards:
1. Provide an alternative design approach that meets the overall intent of the
standard as indicated in the intent statement for that standard, as well as the general
intent statement in Section 26.410.010.A.1-3; or
2. Be clearly necessary for reasons of fairness related to unusual site specific
constraints.
Staff’s response to these criteria has been included as Exhibit A to this memo. P&Z is the

SUMMARY OF PROJECT: The applicant is proposing to construct a two-story, single-family
home on the vacant lot that requires a variance from the following Residential Design Standard:
26.410.030.B(1) Articulation of Building Mass. This is a non-flexible standard requiring
review by the P&Z. The intent of this standard is “to reduce the overall perceived mass
and bulk of buildings as viewed from all sides.” The code provides three options to satisfy
the requirement, which include:
1) Maximum Sidewall Depth – “A principle building shall be no greater than fifty (50)
feet in depth as measured from the front most wall of the front façade to the rear wall…”
or
2) Off-set with One-Story Ground Level Connector – “A principal building shall
provide a portion of its mass as a subordinate one story, ground floor connecting
element. The connecting element shall be at least ten (10) feet in length and shall be
setback at least five (5) feet from the sidewall on both sides of the building. The
connecting element shall occur at a maximum of forty-five (45) feet in depth as
measured from the front most wall of the front façade to the rear wall…” or
3) Increased Side Setbacks at Rear and Step Down – “A principal building shall provide
increased side setbacks at the rear of the building. If the principle building is two
stories, it shall step down to one story in the rear. The increased side setbacks and one
story step down shall occur at a maximum of forty-five (45) feet, as measured from the
front-most wall toward the rear wall. The increased side setbacks shall be at least five
(5) feet greater than the side setbacks at the front of the building.”

The applicant has proposed a structure that measures approximately 73’ 4 ¾" in total length and
maintains a two-story height for 61’ of that length. The structure steps down to one story for just
over 12’ in length at the rear of the property. A portion of the second story mass is also set back
along one side façade. A deck is proposed above this one-story element, facing the alley.
The underlying R-6 zoning requires a combined side yard setback of 15’, with a minimum
requirement of five feet. The design responds on the structure’s eastern side by increasing the
setback of the building in the areas where the trees occur, as seen in Figure 5 below. To
accommodate the trees, the development has a 16’ 2 ½” eastern side yard setback, and a 5’ setback
on the western side, as depicted in Figure 5, following.

STAFF COMMENTS: The applicant has indicated that the proposed design reflects site-specific
constraints created by the four trees that are not eligible for removal, and is requesting a variance
from the residential design standard based on the second variance criteria, that a variance is
“clearly necessary for reasons of fairness related to unusual site specific constraints.”
The applicant has proposed a design that most closely meets the standard’s third option (increased
side setbacks at rear and step down); however, the standard is not fully met. The standard requires
an increased side yard setback of at least five feet and a reduction of the building to one story at a
maximum of 45’ of the building’s length. The intent of this standard is “to reduce the overall
perceived mass and bulk of buildings as viewed from all sides.”
The proposed structure does not fully step down to one-story until over 61’ of the building’s length,
which is over 16’. The design does not follow the requirement for an increased side yard setback
until nearly 47’ in length on the structure’s eastern façade, and does not meet this requirement on
western façade, where the building follows the minimum setback required by underlining zoning
of five feet. The western façade is a large, minimally articulated, two-story wall. Given the
proximity of the proposed structure to the neighboring property along the western façade, Staff
finds the design would benefit from meeting the increased setback requirement of the standard to
provide some relief between the structures.

Furthermore, the structure would appear less massive if it were to step down to one-story at the
45-foot length, as indicated by the dashed line in Figure 6 above.
Staff acknowledges the trees do create a somewhat unique condition for development on the site;
however, this condition does not preclude the applicant’s ability to fully meet the standard, or one
of the other options provided. Despite the “no-development zone” created by the trees, the
requested variance is not necessary to the successful development of a code-compliant single-
family home on the lot. Staff does not find that the proposed design meets the standard’s intent of
reducing the overall mass/bulk of the building from all sides. Staff cannot support the applicant’s
request for a variance.
RECOMMENDATION: Community Development Staff recommends that the Planning and
Zoning Commission deny the Residential Design Standard variance request for the property at
433 W. Bleeker St. If a recommendation of denial is proposed, the alternative motion may be
used.
PROPOSED MOTION (all motions are written in the affirmative): “I move to approve

WHEREAS, the Planning and Zoning Commission approved Resolution __, Series of
2017, by a ____ to ____ (_ - _) vote, granting a Variation to a Residential Design Standard as
identified herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY OF ASPEN PLANNING AND
ZONING COMMISSION AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1: Residential Design Standards Variation
Pursuant to the procedures and standards set forth in Title 26 of the Aspen Municipal Code, the
Planning and Zoning Commission hereby approves the variation request from the following
Residential Design Standard:
26.410.030.B(1) – Articulation of Building Mass. A principal building shall articulate building
mass to reduce bulk and mass and create building forms that are similar in scale to those seen in
historic Aspen residential buildings. Fulfilling at least one of the following options shall satisfy
this standard:
1) Maximum Sidewall Depth. A principal building shall be no greater than fifty (50) feet in
depth, as measured from the front-most wall of the front façade to the rear wall. An
accessory building that is completely separated from the main building is permitted.
Garages, sheds and accessory dwelling units are examples of appropriate uses for an
accessory building.
2) Off-set with One-Story Ground Level Connector. A principal building shall provide a
portion of its mass as a subordinate one-story, ground floor connecting element. The
connecting element shall be at least ten (10) feet in length and shall be setback at least an
additional five (5) feet from the sidewall on both sides of the building. The connecting
element shall occur at a maximum of forty-five (45) feet in depth, as measured from the
front-most wall of the front façade to the rear wall. Accessible outdoor space over the
connecting element (e.g. a deck) is permitted but may not be covered or enclosed. Any
railing for an accessible outdoor space over a connecting element must be the minimum
reasonably necessary to provide adequate safety and building code compliance and the
railing must be 50% or more transparent.
3) Increased Side Setbacks at Rear and Step Down. A principal building shall provide
increased side setbacks at the rear of the building. If the principal building is two stories,
it shall step down to one story in the rear. The increased side setbacks and one story step
down shall occur at a maximum of forty-five (45) feet, as measured from the front-most
wall toward the rear wall. The increased side setbacks shall be at least five (5) feet greater
than the side setbacks at the front of the building.
Chapter 26.410 Residential Design Standards outlines two criteria to allow a variation from a
review standard. Only one standard must be found to be met. The standards include:
P12
VI.A.
1. Provide an alternative design approach that meets the overall intent of the standard as
indicated in the intent statement for that standard, as well as the general intent statements in
Section 26.410.040.A.1-3; or
2. Be clearly necessary for reasons of fairness related to unusual site-specific constraints.
The Planning and Zoning Commission have found the proposal to meet the second criterion, and
that the trees on the lot which may not be removed create a site-specific constraint that require a
variation from the Residential Design Standard.
Section 2: Building Permit Application
Other than the variation granted, the building permit application shall be compliant with all other
standards and requirements of the City of Aspen Municipal Code and all other adopted
regulations.
Section 3:
All material representations and commitments made by the Applicant pursuant to the
development proposal approvals as herein awarded, whether in public hearing or documentation
presented before the Planning and Zoning Commission, are hereby incorporated in such plan
development approvals and the same shall be complied with as if fully set forth herein, unless
amended by an authorized entity.
Section 4:
This resolution shall not affect any existing litigation and shall not operate as an abatement of any
action or proceeding now pending under or by virtue of the ordinances repealed or amended as
herein provided, and the same shall be conducted and concluded under such prior ordinances.
Section 5:
If any section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase, or portion of this resolution is for any reason
held invalid or unconstitutional in a court of competent jurisdiction, such portion shall be deemed a
separate, distinct and independent provision and shall not affect the validity of the remaining
portions thereof.

The subject property, 433 W Bleeker, Aspen CO, is located within the R-6 Zone District. It is a vacant 6,000 sq. ft.
lot located in the West End. This site has a significant existing challenge with respect to existing tree location,
placement, and number. There are five large spruce trees the City Forester has determined are of benefit to the
community forest and will not permit removal. Additionally, the drip lines of these trees were required to be
surveyed and take up a significant portion of the lot. No development is permitted within the dripline area.
As a result, the proposed design does not fully meet Residential Design Standard 26.410.030.B.1, Articulation of
Building Mass. We have looked at several other options for design on this lot – all of which present a challenge
with meeting another RD standards as a result. We feel this design is most consistent with the overall intent of the
RDS and would like a variance from the B.1. standard relative to the overall length of the front two story mass. It is
important to reiterate the intent of the code, as we feel the design does meet the intent of the code:
Intent. This standard seeks to reduce the overall perceived mass and bulk of buildings on a property as viewed from
all sides. Designs should promote light and air access between adjacent properties. Designs should articulate
building walls by utilizing multiple forms to break up large expansive wall planes. Buildings should include
massing and articulation that convey forms that are similar in massing to historic Aspen residential buildings. This
standard is critical in the Infill Area where small lots, small side and front setbacks, alleys and historic Aspen
building forms are prevalent. Designs should change the plane of a building’s sidewall, step a primary building’s
height down to one-story in the rear portion or limit the overall depth of the structure.
After continuing our meeting held on March 21st, Thunderbowl Architects made changes to the design based on the
comments made by the Planning and Zoning Commission. Thunderbowl has done the following to help reduce the
overall mass and scale. It is important to reiterate the intent of the code, as we feel the design does meet the intent
of the code; designs should change the plane of a building’s sidewall, step a primary building’s height down to
one-story in the rear portion or limit the overall depth of the structure. We can meet the requirements of the code,
but feel that it is not in the best interest of the overall code. This direction would meet option 2 of the RDS standard
26.410.030.B.2 but would not limit the depth, nor step down in the rear of the property. The mass would be larger
from the visible street as well as the alley, and would not benefit anyone in the surrounding area.
The following design changes have been made:
1.The one story element has been reduced to meet the required 5’ building setback. In the previous design this
was only met on one side.
2.54% of the second story meets the required 45’ length requirement. Previously the design met 8% of the
required length.
3.The main gable roof has been split to help reduced the overall feel and length of the mass. Previously the roof
was continuous. The roof over the living room has been reduced in height.
4.The overall length of the building has been reduced by 20”.
5.The overall floor area has been reduced by 81 square feet.
6.The living room chimney has been removed and the stone has been removed.
