Dave tells me that it is the Planning Office's position that the allocations for 10 lodge units previously awarded to the Sellumont Inn have expired be<:ause no change-in-use application was submitted prior to what your office suggests is adead1:fne established under Ordinance 29, Series of 1996 (the "Ordinance"). Since your conversation with Dave was the first communication which we have received from the Planning Office on this subject, I thought I would take this opportunity to document our position. As I recall, you and I did previously have one or more conversations on the subject of the Beaumont Inn. It is my recollection that you initially thought that the Owners wanted to file for a lodge allocation in 1997 and you informed .me that that deadline had recently past. I was actually seeking a clarification regarding certain aspects of the change-In-use application, however, since we had already obtained an allocation. That is the last communication which I recall having had with your office on the subject of the Beaumont Inn, First, let me point out some things about the language of the Ordinance. Sec. 26.100.050.C.1.a (page 6 of the Ordinance), regarding CMQS Exemption by the City of Aspen Planning and Zoning Commission states that no development shaJJ be considered for an exemption..... "until a complete application has been submitted pursuant to Section 26.52.070" (this appears to be an incorrect code reference). The issue of a deadline by which to file a completed application is not addressed in this section of the amendments, however. The Owners do not disagree that we should attempt to arrive at an agteement regarding what would constitute a complete application under the requirements of the Code prior to proceeding to a review by the Planning and FROM : JWl.F' Ir.;C, PHONE NO. 970 925 8275 JAN. 22. 1998 4:32PM P 4 r-. r-. January 16, 1998 Ms. Julie Ann Woods Page two Zoning Commission, so I don't believe that there is any cause for disagreement with the language of this paragraph. The f"lfth paragraph in the section which explains the Process ror Allocations (page 7 of the Ordinance) does include language estllbliElhing a deadline to apply for a change in use following the awarding of an allocation and also establishes a deadline for securing an active building permit and abandonment of the lodge thereafter. These dea41ines simply do not{ however, apply to lodge projects whkh have been awarded lodge allocatioos, such as the Beaumont Inn. The stated pUqlOse in establishing these deadlines which introduces this paragraph of the Ordinance is to prevent residential quota banlocing. Secondly, the language specifically states that "a lodge awarded residential allocations" are the lodges which are subject to the deadlines of the paragraph. Finally, the fact that the deadline for obtaining a building permit which is contained in this paragraph is linked to the abandonment of the lodge further reinforces the fact that these deadlines were intended to apply to those lodge owners seeking to convert a lodge to a residential or commercial USe, not those obtaining lodge allocations to expand. 'The Qv.rnexs applied for and received only a lodge allocation to expand the existing lodge, rIOt to abandon it, . The s.ixth p<U'agraph (page 8 of the Ordinance) clarifies that the deadlines established in the prior paragraph for residential conversion do not apply to such residential conversion projects which requite a commercial allocation until such time as the full com:tnerdal allocation can be obtained. The requirement to abandon the lodge use upon receipt of a building permit is repeated in this paragraph. The Owners are not proposing to obtain a commercial allocation, 80 the provisions of this paragraph do not apply in their case, either. Secondly, it might be helpful to remind you of the circumstances which have transpired since the Owners were awarded a lodge allocation. Following the award of the allocation, the Owners immediately retained consultants to undertake the design of the renovation and expansion of the lodge. I was retained to coordinate the work of the consultants and to prepare the required land-use application for the project. On April 28. 1997. the Owners filed the required change-mouse application with the required fee (a copy of the check deposited by the City on or around May 8, 1997 is attached). The application was not simply thrown .together. It was a serious effort to address the Code requirements for !he relevant reviews. It included full schematic architecture for the :tenQvation and expansion of the lodge and addressed engineering issues related to the proposal. It was substantially complete, in my opinion.

My recollection is that r received the mark-up sometime around the end of May, since I was away on 'Vacation at the time the mark-up was completed. The mark-up identified areas regarding the submission where Mitch was requesting additional information. While 1 would take issue with some of the additional information requested by Mitch as not being required nnder the City Code, nonetheless 1 acknowledge that the consultants have not yet provided a response to those comments from the Planning Office. r have reviewed the Code and don't th:In.k the Code cleady addreSSeS the issue of the relevant procedure in a case where an application has been filed but the Planning Office later requests additional infomlatlon regarding the application which has not been submitted, I do not find any references to deadlines in such event, for instance. Specifically, Sec. 26.52.050 of the Code reads as follows: . A. Determination of completeness. 1. Submission. In order to initiate a development application, an apptitatlt shall submit to the planning director the number of copies of the applil:ation, containing that information agreed upan in the pre- application conference or required 17y the relevant provisions of this title, and accompanied by the application fee.

This would have provided the Owners with an opportunity to respond within a reasonable period of time and would have avoided a controversy. I have reviewed my me and 1 have not received any such correspondence as the applicant's designated representative, nor has the applicant's deposit been returned to either me or to the applicant. At the time of adoption of Ordinance 29, City Council was concerned about the condition of the small LP-zoned lodges and spent many months working on these code amer\dments with the owners of the small lodges to provide thl:! incentives which. were included in the Ordinance. The subsequent criticisms regarding the code amendments of which I am aware have been directed entirely at those applications involving the conversion of lodges to a residential use. In contrast, the Owners are one of only a few applicants (if not the only applicant) trying to make a go of it with a small lodge by pursuing a modest expansion while preserving a use that the City Council was concemed about when it adopted Ordinance 29. I hope that my letter causes you to have some reservati()1'\S about your prior interpretation as expressed to Dave, so that we can discUSs this further. Please give me a call at your convenience.

Engineering Report, Schmueser Gordon Meyer . ~- ". I. INTRODUCTION This application is filed on behalf of J & B Hotels, LLC, owners of the Beaumont Inn, formerly known as the Crestahaus Lodge. The applicant requests approval of required reviews for an expansion of lodge units at the Inn, to be built in conjunction with the upgrading and expansion of guest amenities and on-site ~ w~ affordable housing. In November 1996, the owners received approval of a lottery S ~ allotment for 10 lodge units under the Small Lodge Expansion Lottery established by -1 Ordinance 29, Series of 1996. The applicant is now filing for a GMQS Exemption for lodge expansion, as called for by Ordinance 29 and related reviews as required for the project. In addition to 31 existing lodge units, the main structure of the lodge presently contains a dining room, kitchen and two lounge areas. Two detached structures on the site presently include affordable housing. In 1985, the owner at the time received approval to expand the lodge to its present plan and design (see City Council Resolution 1, Series of 1986, Exhibit G). As a part of that approval, the owners agreed to deed-restrict 895 square feet of the existing space for use as affordable housing. The housing director subsequently agreed to the relocation of this housing to an existing detached three-bedroom residence on the southern . portion of the site. The previous owner also received approval through a GMQS Exernption process to build a two-story structure on the northwest corner of the property which contains two deed-restricted studio apartments and a resident- occupied unit. The Beaurnont Inn project as proposed consists of the rernodeling of 25 of the 31 existing lodge units, the reconstruction of 6 existing lodge units and the upgrading of the existing accessory space within the Inn. The project also includes the addition of 10 new lodge units and the expansion of the accessory space. Six of the existing lodge units, totaling approximately 1,690 square feet, are proposed to be converted to studio apartments for replacernent and new affordable housing. The existing triplex will also be maintained and the three units will continue to be subject to their current deed restrictions. There are a total of 41 lodge units totaling 19,427 sq. ft. (FAR), 12,240 sq. ft. (FAR) of accessory space and a total of2,946 (FAR) sg~re feet of affordable housing (including the triplex) in the project, as proposed.

'" ' The following narrative provides background regarding the history of the facilities on the property and describes the architectural concept for the project. A. History: In the 1940's, as Aspen emerged frorn the mining days, a well-preserved two- story brick Victorian dwelling stood upon the hillside property of the present Beaumont Inn. In the 1950's, the dwelling becarne the centerpiece of a sprawling dude ranch, which included stables and log guest cabins. In the 1960's and 70's, the lodge acquired a Swiss therne, the name Crestahaus and the stables were converted to guest quarters. In the 1980's, the lodge was modernized, given a country bed & breakfast theme, and 20 new rooms were added. Now in 1997, an additional 10 rooms are to be added, along with several internal guest amenities. However, in terms of architectural character, the lodge has come "full circle". B. Exterior Design: The brick walls of the original Victorian dwelling will be stripped of plaster and cleaned of paint and restored. The original elements of tall windows and brick arches will also be restored and carried through into the proposed construction of new lodge rooms, so that the bricks, wood shingle gable-ends, and vertical windows relate and respond to the historic ones, in a manner not unlike the Sardy House project on Aspen's Main Street. Roof forms will be gabled shingle roofs, accented by dormers. Slopes will be maintained at a 5:12 pitch or greater on new roofs and dormer gable windows at a 8:12 pitch or greater. The steep roofs recall and respond to the historic dwelling and give visual variety to the roof lines, as viewed from ground level. As illustrated on the site plan following page 3, the new construction is set back about 70 feet from Highway 82/East Cooper Avenue. This permits good solar. access to the street and preserves the public's views of Aspen Mountain beyond. The proposed new structure is set back about 20 feet from the south property line, in order to minimize visual impacts to the adjacent dwelling. On the northwest, west and southwest sides of the site, no new construction is proposed, so that the existing lodge will effectively shield the visibility of the new structures from these residential exposures. 2 , 0-. . C. Interior Amenities: The primary changes to the accessory uses within the Inn include the following: 1. A mUlti-purpos~IPc~~r small group activities, meetings, and social gatherings will be added across from the dining roorn at the center of the proposed new addition. This multi-purpose room is convenient to the new restrooms and to the new central elevator core. 2. The existing dining space will be upgraded in its present location and a walk-out terrace for fair-weather dining will be added, overlooking the pool and the City of Aspen. 3. Lobby space will be increased and supported by ski storage, valet service, and expanded restrooms which comply with current accessibility standards. A mezzanine seating area in the main lounge/bar area will add a new dimension to this focal space. Section II of this Application addresses the required GMQS Exemptions. An Exemption from GMQS procedures by the Planning and Zoning Commi!;sion is required for Lodge Expansion in the LP Lodge Overlay under Sec. 26.100.050 of the Municipal Code, as are GMQS Exemptions by the City Council for affordable housing and expansion of accessory uses. As discussed in Section III of this Submission, the applicant is applying for Special Review to establish the allowable external floor area ratio for the project, as required for the LP Overlay. Under Chapter 26.28 of the Code, an external floor area ratio of up to 1:1 is allowed upon Special Review approval in the LP zone. Special Review is also required to establish the off-street parking requirement for the affordable housing and to establish required open space. Section IV addresses Conditional Use Review, as required for the proposed affordable housing. 3 . .- 'Di!~~j .

GMQS EXEMPTION PROCEDURES (SEe. 26.100.050): The proposed development is eligible for several exemptions frorn the residential and tourist accommodations growth rnanagement competition and scoring procedures of Chapter 26.100, as discussed below. A. GMQS Exemption by the Planning and Zoning Commission (Sec. 26.100.050.C): The expansion of an existing lodge previously zoned LP is eligible for GMQS Exernption, subject to review by the Planning and Zoning Commission under the provisions of Sec. 26.100.050.C.2.a of the Code, as arnended under Ordinance No. 29, Series of 1996. 1. Change in Use/Lodge Expansion (Sec. 26.100,050.C.2.a): The expansion of an existing lodge previously zoned LP shall be exernpt from growth management competition and scoring procedures, provided that the following conditions are met: a. The Planning and Zoning Commission determines that employee housing or cash-in-lieu will be provided to mitigate for additional employees generated by the change in use or expansion. This shall include an analysis and credit for existing employee housing and the incremental impact between the existing use and the proposed conversion. The applicant has met with the Housing Director to discuss employee generation and affordable housing to be provided. In 1985, the previous owner of the lodge committed to provide affordable housing for 3 employees under the prior approval to expand the lodge by 14 lodge units (see Exhibits G and H). As the staffing plans for the current operation and ~ r~O as proposed indicate (see Exhibit E), the expansion is expected to result in ~~~~ ~\'T.S, the addition of 2.91 new full-time equivalent employees. The applicant sur W!lltT ~proposes to convert 6 of the existing lodge units to the west of the dining TIl6f.~U~ roorn to studio apartments deed-restricted to Category One guidelines. lSeE ,r. 18; Because the studios are substandard in size, the owner and the Housing Director have agreed that the studios should be calculated as housing one employee per unit. Therefore, the studios will house a total of 6 employees. Three of the units will replace the housing for 3 employees required under the prior approval and three will house the new full-tirne 14 equivalent ernployees generated by the proposed expansion of 10 lodge units. b. The Planning and Zoning Commission detennines that sufficient parking spaces will be provided for the change in use or expansion or cash- in-lieu will be used. The applicant proposes to provide 33 parking spaces for the 41 lodge unit facility. A total of 29 spaces are required for the 41 lodge units at 0.7 spaces/unit. Two spaces will be reserved for the inn's shuttle vans and the remaining two spaces will be reserved for the use of employees. No parking is required for the uses which are accessory to the principal lodge use. c. The Planning and Zoning Commission detennines that the change in use or expansion is compatible with the character of the existing , neighborhood. The proposal is compatible with the character of the existing neighborhood. A tourist accommodation has operated on the site since the 1950's and the facilities have been rnodestly expanded over the years. Access to the site will continue to be provided by way of Highway 82, away from the residential neighborhood to the west and south of the site. The existing structures on the site effectively screen the eastern portion of the site, where the expansion will occur. d. The Planning and Zoning Commission detennines that adequate public facilities exist or will be provided for the change in use of the existing neighborhood. The public facilities in the neighborhood are adequate to serve the expanded lodge. All utilities are presently in place to the site and with the exception of necessary upgrades to individual service lines, are adequate to serve the project. Two existing transit routes operate in the area. e. No zone change is required. The expanded lodge is consistent with the dimensional requirernents of the LP Zone District and no zone change is necessary. The project as , proposed requires several Special Review actions. First, under an LP Overlay, the External Floor Area Ratio is required to be established by Special Review. Secondly, the amount of open space which is in cornpliance with the current open space definition must be established by 15 Special Review and finally, the parking requirement for the affordable housing is required to be established by Special Review. f. The proposal is consistent with the Aspen Area Community Plan. The five citizen committees established to participate in the preparation of the Aspen Area Community Plan organized six Action Plans. Each plan addresses a number of issues and prioritizes the recommended actions by short-, mid- and long-term implementation. The Action Plan which is most relevant to the proposed lodge expansion is the Commercial/Retail, Office and Lodging Action Plan. This Action Plan includes recommendations for incentives for small lodges. The intent of the Commercial Retail, Office and Lodging Action Plan is to provide incentives for managed strategic growth by locally-serving cornmercial and office uses and small lodges. According to the Action Plan, "Small lodges immediately set the stage for the guest experience in Aspen. These lodges promote a sense of scale and feel that provide the visitor with a transition into the uniqueness of Aspen. The community must find ways to maintain these small lodges and the experience they offer to our guests." One of the policies of the Action Plan is to "provide incentives to keep small lodge owners in operation." The Implementation Strategies identified to irnplement this policy for lodges include the following: "11. Sponsor a forum for small lodge owners." "12. Revise the Lodge Preservation zone district to allow a range of mitigation and allow for minor expansion with less mitigation required in order to maintain the small lodge inventory in the , community." Following adoption of the Aspen Area Community Plan, lengthy discussions occurred between the City and the small lodge owners regarding changes which should be made to the LP zone in response to the Plan's recornmendations. These strategies have now been implemented rnore specifically through the adoption of Ordinance 29; Series of 1996, 16 . which provides for limited expansion of small lodges exempt from GMQS procedures. B. GMQS Exemption by City Council (Sec. 26.100.050.P): The proposed affordable housing and expansion of accessory uses are eligible for GMQS Exemption, subject to review by the City Council under the provisions of Sec. 26.100.0S0.D.3.b and c of the Code. 1. Affordable housing (Sec. 26.100.050.D.3.b): The Applicant requests approval by the City Council of an Exemption from GMQS Procedures for development of the six new affordable housing units in the project. As a part of the lodge expansion proposal, the owner proposes to convert 6 existing lodge units to 6 studio apartments for affordable housing deed-restricted to Category One guidelines. The Applicant intends to house its own employees in the new units, and is requesting the right to first rent the restricted units to qualified employees of the Inn. Two detached structures on the site presently include affordable housing. When GMQS approval was granted in 1985 for a 14 unit expansion, the owners agreed to deed-restrict a 625 square foot dormitory space and a 270 quare foot room housing a total of 3 employees (see Exhibits G and H). The W.frf'S ltte I'U\M Housing Director subsequently agreed to the relocation of the 895 sq. ft. of fo~ 1~~ \t.lT~'" housing within the lodge to an existing detached three-bedroom residence on ~OU of ~ the site. Since the residence will be removed under the proposal to expand ~~~ the lodge, the owner is proposing to replace this housing with a portion of the LtStte'O +1He Ne.l housing described above. As discussed earlier, three of the newly deed- '!~oI~NOf restricted studios will serve as replacement housing and three will house new f ,tu::>'I~. -... ~ CoM9liiOl'L.. ernployees generated by the proposed expansion. $BIN ~~., , se.ltSof\98b The previous owner received approval through a GMQS Exemption process to build a two-story structure of approximately 1,250 sq. ft. which contains two deed-restricted studio apartments and a resident-occupied unit. This structure is proposed to be retained. Deed restrictions for these three units will remain in effect. , FROM,:5Cf..ft.

The proposed development consists of a building or buildings designed as an integrated whole that contains uses requiring the submission of development applications for an allotment in more than one of the categories of Section 26.100.040. The lodge expansion is designed as an integrated whole and contains ~ AS'? <omrnercial uses in addition to the lodge use which, if not considered accessory to the lodge use, would be required to obtain a GMQS allocation. b.

The site plan and architectural drawings of the project are included beginning on page 4 for evaluation by the City Council. 19 , . . III. SPECIAL REVIEW (Chapter 26.64): The project as proposed requires several Special Review actions. First, under an LP overlay, the external floor area ratio for the Inn is required to be established by Special Review. Secondly, the applicant is requesting that the amount of open space which is in cornpliance with the current open space definition be established by Special Review. Finally, the parking requirement for all affordable housing is required to be established by Special Review, under the provisions of Sec. 26.32.010.B of the Code. A. Purpose (Sec. 26.64.010): The purpose of Special Review is to ensure site-specific review of the dimensional requirements of Sec. 26.28.320.D and off-street parking requirements of Chapter 26.32, ... in order to maintain the integrity of the City's zone districts ,and the compatibility of the proposed developrnent with surrounding land uses. I B. Authority (Sec. 26.64.020): Under the provisions of Sec. 26.64.020, the Planning and Zoning Commission is authorized to review and approve a development application for Special Review, after recommendation by the planning director, in accordance with the procedures, standards and limitations of Chapter 26.64. C. Applicability (Sec. 26.64.030): Special Review applies to all development in the City of Aspen designated for Special Review in Chapters 26.28 and 26.32. D. Review standards for Special Review (Sec. 26.64.040): No developrnent subject to Special Review shall be permitted unless the I:'lanning and Zoning Commission makes a determination that the proposed developrnent complies with all of the standards and requirernents as discussed below: 1. Dimensional requirements, (Sec. 26.64.040.A): The applicant is seeking approval to expand the Inn to a total of 34,613 sq. ft. of FAR floor area. The floor area ratio proposed is therefore 0.62:1. A floor area ratio of up to 1:1 may be approved by Special Review. The applicant is also seeking approval for a reduction in required op~~a~foo30 percent of the lot area. Whenever the dimensional requirements of a proposed 20 , . , development are subject to Special Review, the development application shall only be approved if the following conditions are met: a. The mass, height, density, configuration, amount of open space, landscaping and setbacks of the proposed development are designed in a manner which is compatible with or enhances the character of surrounding land uses and is consistent with the purposes of the underlying zone district. The above criteria have been considered in the design of the project. ~ r of ~ese criteria is discussed hp]()w' '\!/ I. Mass: ' ~\\ S\\lU,V ~~~~ss of the project is perhaps most readily judged by its External Floor ~rdiA~~ OF .Area Ratio. The proposed External FAR of the project is 0.62: 1. ~oN~~ ~xternal FAR is required to be established by Special Review in the LP ~~~~ -t?otole O~ICii;one district, but may not exceed 1.0:1. AVO: ii.

This is the largest percentage of open space required in any zone district and was not reduced when the more restrictive open space definition was adopted a number of years ago. Further, the open space definition as presently written would not necessarily ensure that the surrounding residential neighborhood would benefit, since the definition requires that the open space must be both open to view from the street and a minimum depth from the street frontage. As a result of the definition, most of the project open space must be located along the street frontage, and away frorn the ~sidential area, to qUWli under the defin' ition. , 1+tA.1 ltlf' srA.lfJ)/~rn ~6AR~~.? 1\0\ I!

The landscaping concept is intended to emphasize colorful shrubs and flowers rather then large specimen trees. vii, Setbacks: The project will comply with the setback requirements of the LP overlay. viii. Consistency with the Purposes of the Underlying Zone District: The project has been designed in a rnanner which is compatible with the character of surrounding land uses and the purpose of the R-15 and LP zone districts. The purpose of the Moderate-Density Residential (R-15) zone district is to provide areas for long terrn residential purposes with customary accessory uses. Recreational and institutional uses customarily found in proximity to residential uses are included as conditional uses. Lands in the Moderate-Density Residential (R-15) zone district typically consist of additions to the Aspen Townsite and subdivisions on the periphery of the city. Lands within the Townsite which border Aspen 22 . Mountain are also included in the Moderate-Density Residential (R-15) zone district. The expansion of the lodge is consistent with the purpose of the Lodge Preservation (LP) Overlay Zone District which is to provide for and protect smaIl lodge uses in areas historicaIly used for lodge accommodations, to permit expansion of these lodges when such expansions are compatible with neighboring properties, and provide an incentive for upgrading existing lodges on-site or onto adjacent properties. The expansion is also in compliance with the following dimensional requirements which apply to all permitted and conditional uses in the LP Overlay zone district: (a) Minimum lot size: No requ.irement. Minimum lot size is not applicable to the project. (b) Minimum lot area per dwelling unit: No requirement. Minimum lot area per dweIling unit is not applicable to the project. (c) Minimum lot width: No requirement. Minimum lot area per dweIling unit is not applicable to the project. (d) Minimum front yard: 10 feet.

(j) External floor area ratio: Established by special review pursuant to Chapter 26.64, not to exceed 1:1. IS -ntIS The FAR square footage of the expanded facility, which must be 1ltE -rcPt\- established by Special Review, is aEProximately 0.62:1 (34,613 FAR ~FAf<. sq. ft. on a 56,192 sq. ft site). - tXYl.AIN W\tATtS jV)€'A\ltre-( fo~ ~ ~~ictl?

The ratio of the lodge rental space to all uses in the expanded facility- approximately 19,427 sq, ft. of a total of approximately 34,613 sq. ft.- is 0.56:1. This is a slight reduction from the present internal floor area ratio for lodge rooms of 0.57:1 and results from the proposed expansion of the accessory uses and affordable housing in the facility. b. The applicant demonstrates that the proposed development will not have adverse impacts on surrounding uses or will mitigate those impacts, including but not limited to the effects of shading, excess traffic, availability of parking in the neighborhood or blocking of a designated view plane. 24 . The proposed development will have rninimal adverse impacts on surrounding uses. Impacts have been mitigated to the maximum extent practical. Each of the above criteria is addressed below: i. Effects of shading: The orientation of the site and the location of the proposed improvements assures that most, if not aIl~ ~! the shading which will C"'.."!-.,, -' result from the expansion will occur intemalfy"in the parking area to the east of the new addition. , ii. Excess traffic: Traffic volumes on Highway 82 at the Beaurnont Inn are highest during summer months as motorists travel over Independence Pass t<<s and between Aspen and the nurnerous recreation opportunities offered 00650 N~ ~%~ in White River National 'Forest. Schrnueser Gordon Meyer's report 1)~I~~~onlEiR 1R.AffIt I(see Exhibit F)lincludes an estimate of traffic generation resulting from ~1~~~/6i the expansion. Using a factor of 8.7 vehicle trips per day as =,:0 ~ (hjOtfiorl.z. ecommended by the Institute of Transportation Engineers, the 10 oFReo'fI,198b additional lodge units will generate 87 additional vehicle trips per day. The proximity of the site to downtown and the available transportation alternatives should serve to reduce vehicular use to a level below that suggested by this standard traffic generation factor, according to SGM. iii, Availability of parking in the neighborhood: There is very little on-street parking in the vicinity of the project. This will discourage guests from attempting to park off-site while staying at the lodge. >Ot-J-SrlE ffiR.~~ ~€:5 Nc;T 5e'~M "\O~Wtfe-li\OUqt-t< iv. Blocking of a designated view plane: There are no designated public view planes in the area, so this is not an applicable consideration in this case. 2. Off-street parking requirements. (Sec. 26.64.040.B) Under the provisions of See. 26.32.01O.B, off-street parking for affordable housing must be established by Special Review. A total of 33 parking spaces are provided on-site for the inn. At 0.7 parking spaces/unit, 29 spaces are required for the 41 lodge units. Two spaces will be reserved for the Inn's 25 shuttle vans. The remaining 2 spaces are proposed to be reserved for the :;,- / affordable housing units on-site.) a ~ ~ '9 u~n-$ \$ ~ ~uA'ru... -'t4\/)\.t ~ ~RS.TO ~ lANtleR:- ~6D- Whenever the off-street parking requirements of a proposed development are subject to establishment and! or mitigation via a payment in lieu by Special Review, the development application shall only be approved if the following conditions are met: a. In all zone districts where the off-street parking requirements are subject to establishment and/or mitigation by Special Review, the applicant shall demonstrate that the parking needs of the residents, customers, guests and employees of the project have been met, taking into account potential uses of the parcel, the projected traffic generation of the project, the projected impacts onto the on-street parking of the neighborhood, its proximity to mass transit routes and the downtown area, and any special services, such as vans, provided for residents, guests and employees. In determining whether to accept the mitigation or whether to require that the parking be provided on-site, the commission shall take into consideration the practical ability of the applicant to place parking on-site, whether the parking needs of the development have been adequately met on-site and whether the city has plans for a parking facility which would better meet the needs of the development and the community than would location of the parking on-site. The parking to be provided for the lodge itself is in conformance with the 50 -ri\€~requirements of the Code. Special Review for parking is required only to . 1t\EW IS fOe. Q ~stablish the parking to be provided for the affordable housing. The site is ~.,..o ~e located directly on the Mountain Valley bus route, which stops at the 9l\tU'{S (?) driveway to the Inn. The site is also approxirnately 600 feet from the Hunter Creek route, which tumsonto Cooper Street at Park Avenue. The Inn also operates a shuttle van service which is used by employees from time to time. On-street parking is not readily available in the vicinity and this will serve as a disincentive 'for employees to have a car, because there will not be a convenient place to park. b. In all zone districts, where the off-street parking requirement may be provided via a payment in lieu, the applicant shall make a one-time only payment to the city, in the amount of fifteen thousand dollars ($15,000.00) per space. Approval of the payment-in-lieu shall be at the option of the commission. y::: ''-",,--- -it.'.O'=::: Fc>~ /-;;,:::"{f. ;t.z. ;.;','<j,.,_ 26 Parking mitigation via a payment-in-lieu is not proposed for the on-site affordable housing. 3.

S€'t CoMjY\fjl.1S aN A\Eje . oF- 6LU~u~ES. 3. An analysis of the characteristics of similarly situated properties in the same zone district and of neighboring parcels with respect to whether these properties comply with the dimensional, off-street parking or trash/utility service area requirement which is subject to Special Review. The Planning Office previously analyzed the characteristics of LP lodges as part of the re-writing of LP zone requirernents. The Planning Office concluded that 14 of the 22 LP lodges have expansion potential for additional lodge rooms, based on the Internal FAR lirnitation at the time of 0.50:1. (The Internal FAR limitation was subsequently increased to 0.75:1 under Ordinance 29). This analysis apparently -did not go so far as to assess the 28 physical limitations of the LP sites to determine how rnany of the lodges can be expanded while still complying with other Code requirements. In the LP zone, FAR floor area is established by Special Review, as is the off- street parking required for affordable housing. There are no dimensional standards in these two areas which, if satisfied, permit an applicant to avoid Special Review. The majority of the LP lodges have been in place for many years, and very few of these lodges have undergone significant renovation. In those cases where any off-street parking is provided, it is typically surface parking, as structured parking would not be a viable option for these small lodges. This situation, when coupled with relatively recent changes in the open space definition, make it unlikely that all of these facilities currently cornply with the open space definition. Some relief from the open space requirement is therefore extremely important and was an important element of the Code changes implemented by Ordinance 29. 29 , . IV. CONDITIONAL USE REVIEW (Chapter 26.60) Affordable housing is a conditional use in the LP Overlay Zone District, subject to the standards and procedures of Chapter 26.60. A. Purpose (Sec. 26,60.010): Conditional uses are those land uses which are generally compatible with the other permitted uses in a zone district, but which require individual review of their location, design, configuration, intensity and density in order to ensure the appropriateness of the land use in the zone district. B. Authority (Sec. 26.60.020): The Planning and Zoning Commission, in accordance with the procedures, standards and limitations of Chapter 26.60, shall approve, approve with conditions, or disapprove a development application for a conditional use, after recommendation by the Planning Director. C. Authorized conditional uses (Sec. 26.60.030): Only those uses which are authorized as a conditional use for each zone district in Chapter 26.28, may be approved as a conditional use. The designation of a land use as a conditional use in a zone district does not constitute an authorization of such land use or act as an assurance that such land use will be approved as a conditional use; rather, each proposed conditional use shall be evaluated by the commission for compliance with the standards and conditions set forth in Chapter 26.60. D. Standards applicable to all conditional uses (Sec. 26.60.040): When considering a development application for a conditional use, the cornmission shall consider whether all of the following standards are met, as applicable: 1. The conditional use is consistent with the purposes, goals, objectives and standards of the Aspen Area Comprehensive Plan, and with the intent of the zone district in which it is proposed to be located. The provision of on-site affordable housing for employees in scattered locations throughout the community is a strongly supported concept of the Community Plan. 30 . 2. The conditional use is consistent and compatible with the character of the immediate vicinity of the parcel proposed for development and surrounding land uses, or enhances the mixture of complimentary uses and activities in the immediate vicinity of the parcel proposed for development. The surrounding neighborhood is predorninantly residential in character, with free-market single family housing surrounding the site except for a deed-restricted multi-family housing project at the northwestern comer of the site and another LP lodge to the north. 3. The location, size, design and operating characteristics of the proposed conditional use minimizes adverse effects, including visual impacts, impacts on pedestrian and vehicular circulation, parking, trash, service delivery, noise, vibrations and odor on surrounding properties. The affordable housing is proposed to be, located within the existing structure and will therefore have no visual impacts. The provision of on-site housing for ernployees is generally thought to have an overall positive effect on off- site impacts through a reduction of work-related trips. (If the housing were not available on-site, it is assumed that other daily trips by employees would still occur elsewhere in the cornmunity, in addition to work-related trips. These latter trips would be eliminated with on-site housing.) 4. There are adequate public fa.cilities and services to serve the conditional use including but not limited to roads, potable water, sewer, solid waste, parks, police, fire protection, emergency medical services, hospital and medical services, drainage systems, and schools. Public facilities and services in the area are adequate to serve the affordable housing. The applicant will be re~onsible for any service upgrades which are required for the proposed expa~lOit. 5fe eX'fltb'li F, ~ ~c-ro. 5. The applicant commits to supply affordable housing to meet the incremental need for increased employees generated by the conditional use. The conditional use in this case is affordable housing. 6. The proposed conditional use complies with all additional standards imposed on it by the Aspen Area Comprehensive Plan and by all other applicable requirements of this title. The proposed affordable housing is believed to be in compliance with all additional standards imposed on it by the Aspen Area Comprehensive Plan and by all other applicable requirements of the Code. 31 , E. Procedure for conditional use approval (Sec. 26.60.050): A development application for a conditional use shall be reviewed and recommended for approval, approval with conditions, or disapproval by the planning director, and then approved, approved with conditions, or disapproved by the commission ata public hearing held in accordance with the procedures established in Common Procedures, Chapter 26.52. F. Application (See, 26.60,060): A development application for a conditional use shall include the following: 1. The general application information required in Sec. 26.52.030: General application information is addressed above beginning on page 27. 2. A sketch plan of the site showing existing and proposed features which are relevant to the review of the conditional use application: The site plan and related architectural plans illustrating the location of the proposed affordable housing are included beginning on page 4 . 3. If the application involves development of a new structure or expansion or exterior remodeling of an existing structure, proposed elevations of the structure: Architectural elevations are included with the architectural drawings. 32 . v.

Box 2155 Aspen, CO 81612 . , February 24, 1997 Mr. Joe Wells JOSEPH WELLS LAND PLANNING 602 Midland Park Place Aspen, CO. 81611 RE: Crestahaus Lodae Expansion Proiect. Special Review. Enaineerina Report Dear Joe: This letter comprises an Engineering Report for relevant aspects of the proposed expansion and renovation of The Crestahaus Lodge (Beaumont Inn) property at 1301 East Cooper Avenue in Aspen, Colorado. My comments are based on our discussions of the project, contact with representatives of the primary utilities, site visits and record research regarding previous utility service and site design. I have endeavored to present my comments in response to the engineering-related provisions of City of Aspen Municipal Code including Section 26.64.040 Review standards for special review. Introduction The Crestahaus Lodge property is located at 1301 East Cooper Avenue (East Colorado State Highway No. 82) at the crest of the hill east of Midland Avenue in Aspen, Colorado. The site currently includes 31 lodge units, a dining area, kitchen and two lounge areas. The site also includes affordable housing in two detached structures. The property owners, J & B Hotels, LLC, have received a lodge unit allocation of ten additional units under the lottery program established this year for LP lodges. This report focuses on the infrastructure, traffic and drainage requirements of the proposed lodge expansion. , Utility service will be predominantly from the Cooper Avenue I East Highway 82 frontage or adjacent iJtility easements, where most utilities are currently under ground. Vehicular access will be from Cooper Avenue as well, at the current entry location. I have spoken with representatives of all the primary utilities and inspected the site with regard to the availability of all secondary utilities. I would offer the following comments based on the proposed renovation and expansion; 1. Water Service Phil Overeynder, the Director of the City of Aspen Water Department, and department staff indicate that a 1 Yo inch water service to the existing structure is in place from the existing 8 inch diameter ductile iron water main in Riverside Drive along the south edge of Highway 82 to the site. The Water Department notes that the service from Riverside Drive is an older service and likely not adequate for serving the additional units and meeting the requirements of current City regulations regarding fire sprinkler protection. (Jeff Stafford, the Manager of the Beaumont Inn, indicates that the existing lodge is sprinklered for fire protection at this time, so it is possible that the existing service will prove adequate.) If a new service in a 118 West 6th, Suite 200 . Glenwood Springs, Colorado' (970) 945-1004 . February 24, 1997 Mr. Joe Wells Page 2 larger diameter is required, the City Water Department recommends connecting a short, 6 inch diameter ductile iron extension from the existing 8 inch diameter cast iron line in the north side of Cooper Avenue across Highway 82 to the site. This would permit the installation of a fire hydrant at the entry to the site and would permit a new service tap in closer proximity to the new structure. Tying into the 8 inch line and routing around the adjacent 14 inch transmission main is the only apparent physical constraint with regard to providing service to the renovation and expansion of the Crestahaus Lodge. Connection of a new service would also require abandoning the old service tap at the main. Static pressures in the area should be in the range of 70 psi and the City has sufficient capacity to serve the proposed units. Based on the assumption that the existing structures including the expansion in 1987 are current in terms of tap fees and without the benefit of the City's previous calculations for the lodge, I would anticipate that the Crestahaus renovation and expansion would be subject to only the tap fees associated with a net increase in fixture counts and occupancy. ECU value will be increased by approximately 5.5 for the additional lodge units alone and would also be assessed for any additional water fixtures associated with accessory facilities. There is an existing fire hydrant on the northwest corner of Aene Park and Cooper Avenue approximately 120 feet north of the Crestahaus property. Installation of a new fire hydrant on a short main extension for service would provide for additional fire protection at the property entrance. 2. Sewer Service Tom Bracewell, System Superintendent of the Aspen Consolidated Sanitation District (ACSD), indicates that seWer service is in place fo~ the Crestahaus Lodge property to a 10 inch diameter vitrified clay pipe (VCP) collection line in Cooper Avenue I East Highway 82. No significant constraints exist and the,ACSD has sufficient collection and treatment capacity to serve the additional lodge units. ACSD records indicate that the structures have an existing 6 inch diameter cast iron service tap to the main in Cooper Avenue. Based on some of the ACSD documentation for the current tap, 20 additional lodge rooms were connected to the 6 inch tap serving the existing lodge in 1987 and service for three employee units was also connected through the same tap in 1992. The modular home on the south side of the site has its own tap out to the highway connected in 1973 (demolition of this building would again require abandoning the existing tap). I would anticipate that the Equivalent Residential Units (EQRs) associated with the property will be increased approximately 2.5 EQR for 10 one bedroom one bath lodge units (plus any accessory space fixtures). Tap fees for additional service in this area are also subject to a tap " fee surcharge for anticipated improvements to the Galena Street collector line. Tom noted that, provided that the existing service has been working adequately (the ACSD does not take maintenance responsibility for service lines), it is anticipated that the 10 additional lodge units and accessory space would be served by the service that is currently in place. SCHMUESER GORDON MEYER, INC. February 24, 1997 Mr. Joe Wells Page 3 3. Electric Service Jeff Franke of Holy Cross Electric Association, Inc. (HCEA) , the cooperative that provides electric service to areas around the Aspen Townsite, indicates that underground single phase service is in place for the Crestahaus from an existing transformer just over the southwest property line. Significant load increases or three-phase service (for large pool or jacuzzi pumps. for instance) would require a new service to the transformer and possible replacement of the transformer by HCEA. Holy Cross will need to get specific load information from the Mechanical system designer for the renovation and expansion to address this issue specifically. Otherwise Jeff expressed no concerns regarding Holy Cross's ability to serve the . Crestahaus project. 4. Miscellaneous Utilities Phone service is currently routed with the buried electric service from the southwest property line. Cable TV is on an overhead service across Cooper Avenue I East Highway 82 from a pole on the northeast corner of Aene Park. Gas service is from the Cooper / 82 corridor as well. All of the miscellaneous utilities are in place to provide service to the expansion and most are likely sized adequately at this time. 5. DrainaQe The renovation and expansion of the Crestahaus Lodge on the 1301 Cooper Avenue site will result in additional drainage impacts due to increased roof and impervious site area. Site design for most of the current buildings dated March 1987 Includes two substantial drywell / catch basin structures to capture runoff within the site. The currently proposed site plan for the 10-unit addition will require the removal and replacement of one of the existing drywells (we're suggesting with a larger drywell). A preliminary re-calculation of the detention requirements for the proposed site design under current City of Aspen regulations indicates that at least one additional drywell will be adequate to maintain historic conditions. Our preliminary drainage plan indicates a new inleVdrywell in the entry court area and a new drywell northwest of the building expansion. The project should have no additional off-site drainage impact. Any site and grading revisions should maintain positive drainage away from structures and incorporate appropriate area drains on any exterior, below-grade space or flat roof areas routed to the drywells. ' This project will not create additional impacts to the City of Aspen's storm drainage system nor will it require improvements or expansion of the system. '6. Access and ParkinQ Access for the proposed renovation and expansion of the Crestahaus Lodge remains near the southeast end of the Cooper Avenue I East Highway 82 frontage. Cooper Avenue I East Highway 82 is currently a paved arterial street in good condition with a pavement width of about 33 feet. The access intersection has good sight distance in an easterly direction but is constrained to about 180 feet to the west due to the retaining walls and hill. Recommended sight distances for the posted 25 mph speed limit in town would be in the range of 250 feet. The entry is, nonetheless, located as far east as is feasible within the site. The renovation and expansion proposal will incorporate 33 on-site parking spaces within the site design for the proposed total of 41 lodge rooms, 8 studio affordable housing units and 1 one- SCHMUESER GORDON MEYER, INC. . . . February 24, 1997 Mr. Joe Wells Page 4 bedroom resident-occupied unit., This would permit 0.7 spaces per unit for all the lodge rooms (29 spaces), two spaces for the shuttle vans arid two spaces for office or affordable housing use. Less than one parking space per bedroom for affordable housing can be established by Special Review. Since the site is fronted by the major buS routes on Cooper Avenue and close generally to City Market and downtown, reduced parking for the affordable housing units should not represent a problem for the renovation use. Using the trip generation figures from the Institute of Transportation Engineers as referenced in Pitkin County's Road Management and Maintenance Plan adopted in 1995, 10 additional hotel/lodge units at 8.70 vehicle trips per day represents 87 additional vehicles per day impacting adjacent streets. Once again, proximity to town and available transportation options including on-site van service should serve to reduce vehicular use, even by the lodge units, substantially. Thank you for the opportunity of working on the Crestahaus Lodge renovation and expansion project.
