FROM:
James Lindt, Planner JL
375 N. Spring Street Stream Margin Amendment
Parcel # 2737-073-10-001
RE:
DATE:
August 13,2003
SUMMARY:
The Applicant, DCR Family Limited Partnership, owns a property that contains a single-
family residence and an ADU at 375 North Spring Street and would like to construct a six
(6) foot tall, wood, privacy fence along the northern property line. Additionally, the
Applicant would like to build up an area on the northwestern corner of the lot to plant a
Colorado Blue Spruce tree near the western boundary of the proposed fence. The
Applicant would also like to move a stone patio that exists on the riverside of the
residence from its existing location to a new location that is southwest of the existing
house (please see the proposed site plan that is attached as Exhibit "B"). The Roaring
Fork River abuts the property to the west; therefore, the proposed addition of the fence,
landscaping, and patio area is within 100 feet of the mean high water line of the river,
which requires stream margin review approval pursuant to City of Aspen Land Use Code
Section 26.435.040(C).
The Community Development Director may approve or approve with conditions a land
use request for stream margin review if it meets the review standards that are set forth in
Land Use Code Section 26.435.040(C).
STAFF COMMENTS:
PROPOSED FENCE:
The proposed fence is located outside of the lOO-year floodplain as is shown on the site
plan that is attached as part of the application. In addition, the proposed fence is to be
setback at least fifteen (15) feet from the river's top of slope. The river's top of slope on
this property was determined in the 1990 stream margin review that allowed . for the
residence's construction and is also shown. on the site plan that is attached as Exhibit "B".
Staff feels that the proposed fence is in an area on the property that does not contain
sensitive, riparian vegetation iIi which the stream margin review is intended to protect.
Therefore, staff believes that it is appropriate in this situation to allow for the
development of the fence outside of the building envelope because the building envelope
in this case is not protecting riparian vegetation on the northern side of the residence to as
far back as the fifteen (15) foot setback from the top-of-slope. Thus, staff would
recommend that the Community Development Director exempt the fence from the
building envelope regulations pursuant to Land Use Code Section 26.575.1lO.

1"""\.
~
However, the Parks Department is concerned about the close proximity in which the
fence would be constructed to the existing, mature Aspen trees that are located along the
northern property line of the subject site. Therefore, the Parks Department has requested
that the fence post holes be dug by hand tQ avoid damaging the root systems ofthe nearby
trees. This request by the Parks Department has been included as a condition of approval.
Additionally, the Parks Department is requiring that the fence posts be positioned so that
they are not placed within three (3) feet of any of the mature Aspen trees. To insure that
this condition is met, the Applicant shall be required to submit a plan to the Parks
Department and the Community Development Engineer for approval that shows the fence
post locations prior to excavation. In summary, staff believes that the proposed fence
meets the applicable stream margin review standards and recommends that the.
Community Development Director approve the proposed fence with the conditions
established herein.
PROPOSED PATIO ALTERATIONS:
In reviewing the Applicant's request to remove the existing flagstone patio on the rear of
the structure and replace it further to the south of the residence as is shown on. the
proposed site plan attached as Exhibit "B", staff believes that the proposed change will
not effect the native riparian area along the stream bank in which the stream margin
review process was enacted to protect. Furthermore, staff believes that the relocated patio
will not encroach into the required fifteen (15) foot setback from the top of slope of the
river as was determined in the 1990 stream margin review for the construction of the
residence. Moreover, the Parks Department is requiring that the Applicant re-vegetate the
areas of the existing patio with a native seed mix that they would be required to approve
prior to planting. Therefore, staff would recommend that the Community Development
Director approve the proposed patio relocation portion of the application with conditions
as stated herein, finding that the stream margin review standards have been met by this
portion of the proposed request.
PROPOSED COLORADO BLUE SPRUCE TREE:
In reviewing the request to plant the proposed Colorado Blue Spruce tree, staff believes
that the proposed location of the tree is within the fifteen (15) foot setback from the top of
slope of the river that was previously established, in which only native riparian vegetation
is allowed. Staff feels that the proposed Colorado Blue Spruce tree is an appropriate,
native tree species; however, the City Forester has determined that the tree would need to
be cradled within a rock wall to protect the roots of a nearby mature Cottonwood tree.
Therefore, the Applicant has proposed to enlarge an existing rock retaining structure that
exists in the location of the proposed tree to cradle it. Due to the fact that the proposed
tree will require it's roots to be fortified and that the abovementi<med rock Stru9ture
would need to be constructed withinthe required fifteen (15) foot setback from the river's
top of slope, staff does not believe that the proposed tree and it's associated rock root
fortification meets Stream Margin Review Standard No.8 as is set forth in Land Use
Code Section 26.435.040(C), Stream Margin Review. Therefore, staff would recommend
that the Community Development Director deny the request to plant the proposed Blue
Spruce tree in the stream margin area.

REVIEW PROCEDURE:
A stream margin review may be approved with conditions by the Community Development
Director, pursuant to Land Use Code Section 26.435.040(C), Stream Margin Review. If the
Community Development Director denies an application for a Stream Margin Review, the
Applicant may request an appeal to the Planning and Zoning Commission pursuant to Land Use.
Code Section 26.435.040(D), Appeal o/Director's Determination.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Community Development Director approve the proposed
stream margin review to construct a fence and to relocate the flagstone patio as is shown
on the site plan attached as Exhibit "B", with the conditions of approval established
herein. However, staff recommends that the Community Development Director deny the
proposed request to plant the Colorado Blue Spruce tree and it's associated rock
fortification finding that the root fortification would not comply with Stream Margin
Review Standard No.8.
ApPROVAL:
I herby deny the stream margin request to plant the Colorado Blue Spruce tree and
construct it's associated rock fortificatio.n tinging the Stream Margin Review Standard
No.8 is not met by this request. Conversely, I hereby approve the Stream Margin Review
request to construct a fence and relocate the existing flagstone patio as proposed on Lot 7-
11, Block 1 of the Oklahoma Flats Subdivisign with the followil1g conditions:
1. The Applicant shall excavate the postholes by hand to avoid damaging the root
systems of the nearby Aspen trees.
2. The fence postholes shall be spaced so that they are not placed within three (3) feet
of the mature Aspen trees that exist along the northern property Hne. Additionally,
the Applicant shall provide aplan showing the exact location of the fence postholes
for review and approval by the City of Aspen Parks Department and the Community
Development Engineer prior to commencing excavation. Additionally, thirty-six
(36) inches of the fence posts shall be imbedded in a concrete base.
3. The Applicant shall obtain a fence permit prior to constructing the fence.
4. The six (6) foot tall portion of the fence shall not extend any further east than the
front fayade of the ADD and shall be located entirely on the Applicant's property.
Additionally, the fence shall start no closer than fifteen (15) feet east of the witness
corner to avoid the 100-year floociplain. The City Engineering Department has
recommended that the fence be setback from the property line by approximately six
3
~
~
(6) inches so that it is clear that the fence is being constructed entirely on the
Applicant's property.
5. The relocated patio shall not be any larger than 150 square feet and shall be
constructed at grade as is consistent with the 2000 Stream Margin Amendment that
allowed for the construction of the original flagstone patio.
6. The Applicant shall re-vegetate the area of the existing patio with a native seed mix

EXHIBIT A
PROPOSED FENCE
REVIEW CRITERIA AND STAFF FINDINGS:
An application for an insubstantial amendment to a Stream Margin Review may be
approved if it complies with the following criteria to the extent practical.
1. It can be demonstrated that any proposed development which is in the
Special Flood Hazard Area will not increase the. base flood elevation on
the parcel proposed for development. This shall be demonstrated by an
engineering study prepared by a professional engineer registered to
practice in the State of Colorado which shows that the base flood
elevation will not be raised, including, but not limited to, proposing
mitigation techniques on or off-site which compensate for any base flood
elevation increase caused by the development; and,
Staff Findim!:
The proposed fence is not to be located within the IOO-year floodplain. Therefore, staff
does not believe that the proposal will increase the base flood elevation on the property.
Staff finds this criterion to be met.
2. The recommendations of the Aspen Area Community Plan:
Parks/Recreation/Open Space/Trails Plan and the Roaring Fork River
Greenway Plan are implemented in.the proposed plan for development, to
the greatest extent practicable. Areas of historic public use or access shall
be dedicated via a recorded easement for public use. A fisherman's
easement granting public fishing access within the high water boundaries
of the river course shall be granted via a recorded "Fisherman's
Easement;" and,
Staff Findine::
There is already a five (5) foot wide fisherman's easement along the river that was
dedicated on the property in a previous stream margin review approval. Moreover, staff
does not believe that the public's access to the existing fisherman's easement will be cut
off by constructing the proposed fence because the fence is to be located at least thirty-
five (35) feet from the high water line of the river and the public will still be able to
access .the easement by means of using the neighboring' Francis Street Right-of-Way.
Staff finds this criterion to be met.
3. There is no vegetation removed or damaged or slope grade changes (cut
or fill) made outside of a specifically defined building envelope. A building
envelope shall be designated by this review and said envelope shall be
designated by this review and said envelope shall be recorded on a plat
pursuant to Section 26.435. 040(F) (1); and,
~
Staff Findinl!:
Staff believes that. building envelope that was established was primarily intended to
protect the riparian area on the west. side of the property near the river. Additionally, the
areas in both sidt:: yard setbacks and the front yard setback are both planted with non-
native vegetation. Therefore, staff believes that the areas outside of the building
envelope on both side yards and the front yard could be treated like regular City Setbacks
in regards to what is allowed to be developed outside of the building envelope. Thus,
staff feels that a fence could be allowed in thesideyard setback if it meets the fence
regulations that' exist in Land Use Code SectiQIl2q.5'7$.Q50, fences. Staff believes that
the proposed fence does meet the abQvt::mentiQned fence. regulations and finds this
criterion to be met.
4. The proposed development does not pollute or interfere with the natural
changes of the river, stream or other tributary, including erosion and/or
sedimentation during construction. Increased on-site drainage shall be
accommodated within the parcel to prevent entry into the river or onto its
banks. Pools or hot tubs cannot be drained outside of the designated
building envelope; and,
Staff Findinl!:
The proposed fence will not .alter the course of the river. Adciitionally, staff does not
believe that the proposed fence will increase the on-site drainage on the parcel.
Therefore, staff does not find this criterion to be applicable to this proposal.
5. Written notice is given to the Colorado Water Conservation Boqrd prior
to any alteration or relocation of a water course, and a copy of said notice
is submitted to the Federal Emergency Management Agency; and,
Staff Findinl!:
The Applicant is not proposing to alter a watercourse. Therefore, staff does not believe
that this criterion is applicable to this proposal.
6. A guarantee is provided in the event a water course is altered or
relocated, that applies to the developer and his heirs, successors and
assigns that ensures that the flood carrying capacity on the parcel is not
diminished; and,
Staff Findinl!:
The Applicant is not proposing to alter a watercourse and is not proposing any work in
the I DO-year floodplain relating to the proposed fence. Therefore, staff does not find this
criterion to be applicable to this proposal.
7. Copies are provided of all necessary federal and state permits relating to
work within the lOa-year flood plain; and,
~.
Staff Findinf!:
The Applicant is not proposing any work related to the fence within the I DO-year
floodplain. Therefore, staff does not believe that this criterion is applicable to this
proposal.
8. There is no development other than approved native vegetation planting
taking place below the top of slope .or within fifteen (15) feet of the top of
slope or the high waterline, whichever is most restrictive. This is an effort
to protect the existing riparian vegetation and bank stability. New
plantings (including trees, shrubs, flowers, and grasses) outside of the
designated building envelope on the river side shall be native riparian
vegetation as approved by the City. A landscape plan will be submitted
with all development applications. The top of slope and 100-year flood
plain elevation of the Roaring Fork River shall be determined by the
Stream Margin Map located in the Community Dev€}lopment Department
and filed at the City Engineering Department; and,
Staff Findinf!:
The top of slope of the Roaring Fork River was previously determined in the 1990 stream
margin review for this property. As can be seen on the site plan that is attached in the
application, the proposed fence is well outside of both the River's top of slope and' the
1 DO-year floodplain. Therefore, staff finds this criterion to be met.
9. All development outside the fifteen (15) foot setback from the top of slope
does not exceed a height delineated by a line drawn at a forty-five (45)
degree angle from ground level at the top of slope. Height shall be
measured and determined by the Community Development Director using
the definition for height set forth at Section 26.04.100 and method of
calculating height setforth at Section 26.575.020 as shown in Figure "A";

Staff Findinf!:
As was discussed in the response to review standard No.9, the proposed fence is located
well outside of the required fifteen (15) foot setback from the top of slope. Given that the
fence is setback from the top of slope, staff believes that the proposal meets the required
,....,
r'\
forty-five (45) degree angle from the top of slope. Therefore, staff finds this criterion to
be met.
11. There has been accurate identification of wetlands and riparian zones.
Staff Findin2:
Previous stream margin reviews have been completed for the property and previous surveys
have not identified any wetlands on the property. Staff finds this criterion to be met.

EXHIBIT A
PROPOSED PATIO RELOCATION
REVIEW CRITERIA AND STAFF FINDINGS:
An application for an insubstantial amendment to a Stream Margin Review may be
approved if it complies with the following criteria to the extent practical.
1. It can be demonstrated that any proposed development which is in the
Special Flood Hazard Area will not increase the base flood elevation on
the parcel proposed for development. This shall be demonstrated by an
engineering study prepared by a professional engineer registered to
practice in the State of Colorado which shows that' the base flood
elevation will not be raised, including, but not limited to, proposing
mitigation techniques on or off-site which compensate for any base flood
elevation increase caused by the development; and,
Staff Findin2::
The proposed relocation of the existing flagstone patio is not anticipated to increase the
base flood elevation on the site because staff is requiring that the relocated patio be no
larger than the existing patio. Therefore, there will be no less impervious space within
the lOO-year floodplain as a result of the proposed patio relocation. Staff finds this
criterion to be met.
2. The recommendations of the Aspen Area Community Plan:
Parks/Recreation/Open Space/Trails Plan and the Roaring Fork River
Greenway Plan are implemented in the proposed plan for development, to
the greatest extent practicable. Areas of historic public use or access shall
be dedicated via a recorded easement for public use. A fisherman's
easement granting public fishing access within the high water boundaries
of the river course shall be granted via a recorded "Fisherman's
Epsement;" and,
Staff Findin2::
There is already a five (5) foot wide fisherman's easement along the river that was
dedicated on the property in a previous stream margin review approval. Moreover, staff
does not believe that the public's access to the existing fisherman's easement will be cut
off by relocating the existing patio because it is to. be located such that it does not
encroach into the fifteen (15) foot setback from the top of slope. Additionally, the public
will still be able to access the easement by means of using the neighboring Francis Street
Right-of-Way. Staff finds this criterion to be met.
3. There is no vegetation removed or damaged or slope grade changes (cut
or fill) made outside of a specifically defined building envelope. A building
envelope shall be designated by this review and said envelope shall be
designated by this review and said envelope shall be recorded on a plat
pursuant to Section 26.435. 040(F) (1); and,
~
~
Staff Findin2::
The existing patio was previously approved outside of the designated building pursuant to
a stream margin review amendment that was approved in 2000. Staffbelieves that
building envelope that was established was primarily intended to protect the riparian area
on the west side of the property near the river.. It was pointed out in the 2000 stream
margin amendment that the original deck was proposed at least.thirty-five (35) feet from
the high water line of the river. Staff believes that the relocated paii()i.s not going to be
located within the required fifteen (15) foot setback from the top of slope in which only
native, riparian vegetation is allowed. Therefore, staff does not feel that the r~located
patio will encroach on the native, riparian vegetation.
4. The proposed development does not pollute or interfere with the natural
changes of the river, stream or other tributary, including erosion and/or
sedimentation during construction. Increased on-site drainage shall be
accommodated within the parcel to prevent entry into the river or onto its
banks. Pools or hot tubs cannot be drained outside of the designated
building envelope; and,
Staff Findin2::
The relocated patio will not alter the course of the river. Aciditi<mally, staff does not
believe that the relocated patio will increase the on..site drainage on the parcel because
staffis requiring that it be no larger than the 150 square feet that was approved for the
existing porch. Moreover, the Applicant is going to be required to re-vegetate the area of
the existing patio area with a native grass. seed mix to be approved by the Parks
Department. Therefore, staff finds this criterion to be met.
5. Written notice is given to the Colorado Water Conservation Board prior
to any alteration or relocation of a water course, and a copy of saidnotice
is submitted to the Fefleral Emer~ency Management Agency; and,
Staff Findin2::
The Applicant is not proposing to alter a watercourse. Therefore, staff does not believe
that this criterion is applicable to this proposal.
6. A guarantee is provided in the event a water course is altered or
relocated, that applies to the developer and his heirs, successors and
assigns that ensures that the flood carrying capacity on the parcel is not
diminished; and,
Staff Findin2::'
The Applicant is not proposing to alter a watercourse and the proposed location of the
patio is outside of the required fifteen (15) foot setback from the river's top of slope.
Thus, staff does not believe that there would be a change in the parcel's flood carrying
capacity as a result of the requested patio relocation. Therefore, staff does not find this'
criterion to be applicable to this proposal.
r\
~
7. Copies are provided of all necessary federal and state permits relating to
work within the 1 OO-year flood plain; and,
Staff Findinf!:
Relocating an at-grade patio does not require federal or state permits. Therefore, staff
does not believe that this criterion is applicable to this proposal.
8. There is no development other than approved native vegetation planting
taking place below the top of slope or within fifteen (15) feet of the top of
slope or the high waterline, whichever is most restrictive. This is an effort
to protect the existing riparian vegetation and bank stability. New
plantings (including trees, shrubs, flowers, and grasses) outside of the
designated building envelope on the river side shall be native riparian
vegetation as approved by the City. A landscape plan will be submitted
with all development applications. The top of slope and 100-year flood
plain elevation of the Roaring Fork River shall be determined by the
Stream Margin Map located in the Community Development Department
and filed at the City Engineering Department; and,
Staff Findinf!:
The top of slope of the Roaring Fork River was previously determined in the 1990 stream
margin review for this property. As can be seen on the site plan that is attached in the
application; the relocated patio is well outside of both the River's top of slope.
Therefore, staff finds this criterion to be met.
9. All development outside the fifteen (15) foot setback from the top of slope
does not exceed a height delineated by a line drawn at a forty-five (45)
degree angle from ground level at the top of slope. Height shall be
measured and determined by the Community Development Director using
the definition for height set forth at Section 26.04.100 and method of
calculating height set forth at Section 26.575.020 as shown in Figure "A";

Staff Findinf!:
As was discussed in the response to review standard No.9, the relocated patio is well
outside of the required fifteen (15) foot setback from the top of slope. Given that the
patio is setback from the top of slope and at-grade, staff believes that the proposal meets
the required forty-five (45) degree angle from the top of slope. Therefore, staff finds this
criterion to be met.
9. All exterior lighting is low and downcast with no light(s) directed toward
the river or located down the slope and shall be in compliance with
Section 26.575.150. A lighting plan will be submitted with all development
applications; and,
Staff Findin2::
The Applicant is not proposing any new outdoor lighting. In addition, any existing
lighting is required to meet the exterior lighting standards in the Land Use Code. Staff
finds this criterion not to be applicable to this proposal.
10. There has been accurate identification of wetlands and riparian zones.
Staff Findin2::
Previous stream margin reviews have been completed for the property and previous surveys
have not identified any wetlands on the property. Staff finds this criterion to be met.

EXIDBIT A
PROPOSED BLUE SPRUCE TREE
REVIEW CRITERIA AND STAFF FINDINGS:
An application for an insubstantial amel1dtnent to a Stream Margin Review may be
approved if it complies with the following criteria to the extent practical.
1. It can be demonstrated that any proposed development which is in the
Special Flood Hazard Area will not increase the base flood elevation on
the parcel proposed/or development. This shall be demonstrated by an
engineering study prepared by a professional engineer registered to
practice in the State of Colorado which shows. that the base flood
elevation will not be raised, including, but not limited to, proposing
mitigation techniques on or off-site which compensate for any base flood
elevation increase caused by the development; and,
Staff Findin2:
Staff is concerned that the proposed Blue Spruce 'tree that the Applicant would like to
plant about eight (8) feet from the high waterline of the river may increase the base flood
elevation on the parcel because it would require a rock fortification to protect the roots of
a nearby Cottonwood tree. Therefore, staff does not find this criterion to be met.
2. The recommendations of the Aspen Area Community Plan:
Parks/Recreation/Open Space/Trails Plan and the Roaring Fork River
Greenway Plan are implemented in the proposed plan for development, to
the greatest extent practicable. Areas of historic public use or access shall
be dedicated via a recorded easement for public use. A fisherman's
easement granting public fishing access within the high water boundaries
of the river course shall be granted via a recorded "Fisherman's
Easement;" and,
Staff Findin2:
Staff does not believe that the five (5) foot wide fisherman's easement that was dedicated
as part of a previous stream margin review will be impacted by the proposed tree. Staff
finds this criterion to be met.
3. There is no vegetation removed or damaged or slope grade changes (cut
or fill) made outside of a specifically defined building envelope. A building
envelope shall be designated by this review and said envelope shall be
designated by this review and said envelope shall be recorded on a plat
pursuant to Section 26.435.040(F)(1); and,
~
pc:: .... :'~
Staff Fiodioe:
The Applicant is proposing to cradle and fortify the roots of the proposed Blue Spruce
tree by constructing a boulder cradle around the tree, And therefore, because the tree. is
proposed within the required fifteen (15) foot setback from the river's top of slope, staff
does not believ~ that the proposed rock cradle is cQnsistent withwh!:lJisallQweg Witb.in
fifteen (15) feet of the river's tQP Qf slope. Therefore, staff does not believe that this
criterion has been met.
4. The proposed development does not pollute or interfere with the natural
changes of the river, stream or other tributary, including erosion and/or
sedimentation during construction. Increased on-site drainage shall be
accommodated within the parcel to prevent entry into the river or onto its
banks. Pools or hot tubs cannot be d.rqille4 outsidl? of the designated
building envelope; and,
Staff Fiodioe:
Staff does not believe that the proposal to a~d the Blue Spnice tree with it's associated
rock cradle structure will necessarily pollute or interfere with the natural changes to the
river. However, staff is concerned that the natural on-site gn:unage may be negatively
affected by the rock cradle that is proposed. Therefore, staff does not find that this
criterion is met.
5. Written notice is given to the Colorado Water Conservation Boar.d prior
to any alteration or relocation of a water course, and a copy of said notice
is submitted to the Federal Emergency Management Agency; and,
Staff Fiodioe:
The Applicant is not proposing to alter a watercours~. Therefore, staff does not believe
that this criterion is applicable to this proposal.
6. A guarantee is provided in the event a water course is altered or
relocated, that applies to the developer and his heirs, successors and
assigns that ensures that the flood carrying capacity on the parcel is not
diminished; and,
Staff Fiodiof!:
The Applicant is not proposing to alter a watercourse by adding the tree. Therefore, staff
does not find this criterion to be applicable to this proposal.
7. Copies are provided of all necessary federal and state permits relating to
work within the lOO-year flood plain; and,
r\
~
Staff Findine:
The Applicant would have to obtain a state permit to construct the cradle necessary to
plant the proposed Blue Spruce tree within fifteen (15) feet of the high water line as was
proposed. Therefore, staff does not believe that the request currently meets this criterion.
8. There is no development other than approved native vegetation planting
taking place. below the top of slope or within fifteen (15) feet of the top of
. slope or the high waterline, whichever is most restrictive. This is an effort
to protect the existing riparian vegetation and bank stability. New
plantings (including trees, shrubs, flowers, and grasses) outside of the
designated building envelope on the river side shall be native riparian
vegetation as approved by the City. A landscape plan will be submitted
with all development applications. The top of slope and 100-year flood
plain elevation of the Roaring Fork River shall be determined by the
Stream Margin Map located in the Community Development Department
and filed at the City Engineering Department; and,
Staff Findine:
. Staff does believe that the proposed Colorado:Bll1e Spruce tree is an appropriate, native
tree species; however, staff does not feel that the rock gradle that is !1ec~~sc:try to be
constructed to prevent the proposed tree, from damaging the roots of a nearby
Cottonwood tree is within the $cope of what is allowed to be done within the required
fifteen (15) foot setback from the river's top of slope. Therefore, staff does not believe
that this criterion is met.
9. All development outside the fifteen (15) foot setback from the top of slope
does not exceed a height delineated by a line drawn at a forty-five (45)
degree angle from ground level at the top of slope. Height shall be
measured and determine.d by the Community Development Director using
the definition for height set forth at Section 26.04.100 and method of
calculating height set forth at Section 26.575.020 as shown in Figure "A";

Staff Findine:
As was discussed in the response to review standard No.9, the proposed tree and rock
cradle would be located within the fifteen (15) foot setback from the top of slope.
Therefore, the development of the rock cradle would not meet this standard. Staff does
not believe that this criterion is met..
9. All exterior lighting is low and downcast with no light(s) directed toward
the river or located down the sl()pe and shall be in compliance with
Section 26.575.150. A lighting plan will be submitted with all development

STAFF COMMENTS:
. The applicant, Denice ReiCh, represented by Alan Ric!unan of Richman Planning Services,
wishes to amend a previously approved Stream Margin Review approval and construct an
Accessory DwellingtTnit (ADU) on her property located in the Oklahoma Flats Addition
immediately adjacent to the Roaring Fork River. This property is partially located in the 100-
year floodplain thereby requiring a land use review for development within an environmental
sensitive area. The majority of development will take place within a building envelope that
received ~tream margin approval from the Aspen Plannlng and Zoning Commission on
February 20, 1990 pursuant to Res<,?Iution 90-5. City Council granted vested rights status on
June 11, 1990 pursuant to Ordinance 90-35. The vested rights expired in June 1993.
'-
In 1998, the applicant submitted an application for a Stream Margin Amendment, requesting
that the City permit the applicant to relocate an existing residence that had been scheduled for
I-i..;[ilolition. The City granted this approval via administrative action on August 24, 1998.
The residence has since been placed on this property, although it has never been made
.....itable for occupancy. On a recent site visit, two other smaner "storage structures" also
cun~iltly exist on the property. All of these structures will be removed prior to construction
on~ proposed residence. .
flte .
The City determined the administrative Steam Margin Amendment approved in 1998 remains
in full force and effect subject to any changes in the Aspen Land Use Code subsequent to the
expiration of the property's vested rights. Therefore, prior to any development, the applicant
shall comply with the original review standards and conditions of approval required in 1990
as well as any newly adopted changes made to the Stream Margin Review criteria.
During staff review, severalissu~s arose regarding 1) the proposed development of a
flagstone patio outside of the building envelope 2) the type of sod and landscaping proposed
for the river side of the development 3) and the proposed extension of an existing benn
located partially on the applicant's property and partially on her neighbor's property along
the westerly property line.
The applicant originally proposed a flagstone patio to extend roughly 350 sq. ft. outside of
the established building envelope. Section 26.575.110 indicates other than "approved
plantings," all areas outside of a building envelope shall remain in pristine and untmfched
condition unless approved by the Community Development Director.
Staff is willing to allow a flagstone patio, which extends beyond the existing building
envelope that is 1) constructed at grade and 2) limited to 150 sq. ft. in total patio area.
Additionally, this patio is allowed contingent to any landscaPing that is placed outside of the
building envelope be restricted to "native grasses." The portion of "sod" indicated on the
currently proposed site plan must be of native grass species on all areas outside of the
building envelope on the stream side.
The landscaping and sod as proposed may be allowed according to Section 26.575.110 that'
indicates, "approved plantings" of landscaped materials on natural grade may occur outside
the building envelope. Staff indicates any landscaping proposed on the stream side of the lot,
outside ofthe building envelope, shall be restricted to native grasses. This is allowed

because it will be or result in a marked improvement to current site conditions. Further,
pursuant to Section 26A35~040 (C)(lO) new plantings including trees, shrubs, flowers, and
grasses outside of the designated building envelope on the riverside shalI"be limited to native
riparian vegetation. Staff indicates this shall be followed strictly as indicated above for the
purpose of protecting existing riparian vegetation and bank stability.
The applicant entered into an agreement on August 3, 1990 with the City Engineering
Department, which established a reduction in the N. Spring Street reservation on the easterly
property line from 20' to 8' in exchange for the denial of use of the "Francis Street"
easement, which had been intended as the primary residential access to the lot. As a result of
this agreement the Francis Street easement will be used for a drainage swale maintained by
the City Engineering Department. Staff tinds that this decrease in the reservation area
dedication shall be accurately reflected and recorded with a final plat that shall be recognized
aua signed by the City Engineering Department.
~ urther, the applicant has been working closely with the Parks Department to determine
whll,;il trees on the property would be required to remain on the property and which could be
removed to permit construction to occur. The Parks Department issued the tree removal
permit on 12/15/99.
Included in the application is a site plan Ilandscape plan that is based on the discussions held
with the Parks Department. It clearly shows the trees that will be preserved, as required by
the Parks Department. It also shows that no disturbance will occur in an area that is fifteen
feet (15') back from the top of the ban1e In fact, the building envelope, as established in
1990, is fully 35'.from the edge of the property, whichis well beyond the limits of the
riparian area and the floodplain. Finally, it shows the other trees that will remain on the
property, and the trees that will be planted. The new trees have been planted in a manner that
will screen the residence. from neighboring properties, while also helping to reforest the
property .
The Applicant will provide the Parks Department with receipts for the new trees that are
planted, to verify ;the amount spent on landscaping. It is our understanding that these
expenditures wil(be credited toward the tree mitigation fee of$37,719.80 that has been
imposed by the Parks Department as a condition of the tree removal permit.
With respect to the setback (building envelope) from the top of the slope, the applicant
indicates that the original setback was set at35', which is well beyond the limits of the
riparian area and floodplain. Currently, the code (Section 26.435.040 (C)(8) indicates that:
\
There is no development other than approved native ,,!egetation planting
taking place below the top of slope or within fifteen (15) feet of the top
of slope or the high waterline, whichever is most restrictive. This is an
effort to protect the existing riparian vegetation andhllnk stability;
The applicanti~dicates that the site plan depicts the high waterline and the top of the stream
bank., both of which are located quite close to the property boundary. The site plan also
shows the 15' setback from the top of the slope, which has been labeled as the "untouchable

trees in the area are shown--as remaining and no new trees will be planted in this area, in
conformance with the direction provided by the Parks DepartmeIlt.
Additionally, the landscaping onthe site plan submitted by the applicant must comply with
Section 26.435.040 (C)(lO), which indicates:
A . landscape plan is submitted witll all development applications. Such
plan shall limit new plantings (including trees, shrubs, flowers, ami
grasses) olltside of the designated building envelope on tile river side to
native riparian vegetation;
111e applicant has submitted a site Ilandscape plan which is described above. The Applicant
agrees that new plantings outside of the building envelope on the river side of the property
will be limited to native riparian vegetation. Disturbed areas will be stabilized with sod and
lli:ttive grasses.

sediment control and c9ntainment plan for the construction phase. The foundation
drainage system should be separate from storm drainage, must be detained and routed on
site, and must be shown on drainage plans prior to application for building permit. The
drainage may be conveyed to existing landscaped areas if the drainage report
demonstrates that the percolation rate and the detention volume meet the design storm;

8. The proposed flagstone patio on the river side of the house is outside of the building
cnvel.ope. Constructiol1 outsic\e the builc\ing .e. nvelope is. not allowed. However, at the't<.. _
discretion of the Community Development Director pursuant to Section 26.575.110, i:", ~ -
will b~allowed to exist partially beyond the building envelope and shall not exceed 150 . )~J'
sq. ft. in total area and shall be constructed at grade. This patio is allowed contingent to
all landscaping placed outside of the building envelope' be restricted to "native grasses."
The portion of "sod" indicated on the currently proposed site plan must be of a native
grass species on all areas outside of the building envelope on the stream side;
. 9. 7'ne proposed_ extension of the existing berm located on the southerly property line is ...J .
outside of the building envelope. This extension is prohibited. Construction of ~~
landscaping outside the building envelope located along the proposed berm line is subject
to approval. The berm extension is therefore not approved as a.part of this lot
redevelopment;

10. The applicant shall not track mud onto city streets during construction as required by City
Streets Department. A washed rock or other style mud rack must be installed during'
construction;
~NG~
11. A tree removal permit has been approved on December 15, 1999. Under this permit it has
been stressed that the "Group B" trees are not to be removed. Moreover, total mitigation ~.
amount of $37,7I9.80must be met in full within the property through a planned out and -~k
thorough Landscape Design by a professional Landscape Architect or designer. There are S
many areas within the property, which will be required to remain as native vegetation, "

Attached:
Hi Brian,
Based on our site visit yesterday of 375 N. Spring Street, it was decided that the Parks
Department would like following conditions placed on the Stream Margin Review Amendment to
construct a fence:
1. The fence post holes shall be hand excavated.
2. The fence posts shall be spaced so thcilfthey are not placed within three (3) feet of the
mature Aspen trees located along the northern property line. Additionally, the
Applicant shall provide a plan showing the exact location of the fence post holes for
review and approval by the City.of Aspen Parks Department prior to excavation.
3. The Parks Department does notrequire, but would encourage the Applicant to cut the
fence boards to work with the existing boulders along the northern property line.
Do these conditions look accurate? Do you have any additional comments about the application.
Thanks,
James

CITY OF ASPEN DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION FEE POLICY
The City of Aspen, pursuant to Ordinance 57 (Series of 2000), has established a fee structure for
the processing of land use applications. A flat fee or deposit is collected for land use
applications based on the type of application submitted. Referral fees for other City departments
reviewing the application will also be collected when necessary. One check including the
deposit for Planning and referral agency fees must be submitted with each land use application,
made payable to the AspenlPitkin Community bevelopment Department. Applications will not
be accepted for processing without the required application fee.
A flat fee is collected by Community Development for Administrative Approvals which
normally take a minimal and predictable amount of staff time to process. The fee is not
refundable.
A deposit is collected by Community Development. when more extensivy staff review is
. required, as hours are likely to vary substantially from one application to another. Actual staff
time spent will be charged against thedeposit. Several different staff members may charge their
time spent on. the case in addition to the case planner. Staff time is logged to the case and staff
can provide a summary report of hours spent at the applicant's request.
After the deposit has been expended, the applicant will be billed . monthly based on actual staff
hours. Applicants may accrue arid be billed additional expenses for a planner's time spent on the
case following any hearing or approvals, up until the applicant applies for a building permit.
Current billings must be paid within 30 days or processing' of the application will be suspended.
If an applicant has previously failed to pay application fees as required, no new or additional
applications will. be accepted for processing until the outstanding fees are paid. In no case will
Building Permits be issued until all costs associated with case processing have been paid.
"When the case planner determInes that the case is completed (whether approved or not
approved), the case is considered closed and any remaining balance from the deposit will be
refunded to the applicant.
Applications which require a deposit must include an Agreement for Payment of Development
Application Fees. The Agreement establishes the applicant as being responsible for payment of
all costs associated with processing the application. The Agreement must be signed by the
party responsible for payment and submitted with the application and fee in order for a
land use case to be opened.
The current complete fee schedule for land use applications is listed on the next page.
