Hallam Street Dear Mitch; This letter is to inform you that the application which was submitted for 920 W. Hallam Street was submitted by a partnership which is no longer in existence arid as part of a contract to purchase the property which expired on January 5, 1998. After that time, there was no authorization from the owner to take any action on the property, therefore we request that the application and all public notices regarding it be considered null and void. We also request the refund of the remaining application deposit fee which is held by the Aspen Plarming Department. Sincerely, . ~ :D~. . David Guthrie ./ ,-.., ~ '" ,/ '. Mr. Jake Vickery 100 South Spring Street, #3 Aspen, CO 8)611 AsPEN' PIrKlN COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT D~PAIITMENT January 22, 1998 Dear Jake: In light of the recent confusion regarding the status of land use applications for the 'property at 920 W. Hallam Street and the associated hearing dates, I have decided to explain in writing what materials are needed to c~mplete the submitted' applications. For the Historic Landmark Designation application, the Community D.;:velopment Department will require the following additional/supplemental materials: . . A new letter of authorization to apply; . New proof of ownership; . A new grant request letter; and, . New noticing and proof of noticing for hearings. For the HPC Significant Development Conceptual Review, On-Site Relocation, Partial Demolition and Ordinance 30 Review (if applicable), the Community Development Department will require the following additional/supplemental materials: , . . A new, full-sized site plan indicating the existing and proposed conditions of the site . (including proposed location(s) of all structures to be relocated); . Architectural Elevations of all proposed structures, including the proposed design of the existing structure following the partial demolition, as well as as-built drawings of the existing structures; . Floor plans of proposed str:uctures for Ordinance 30 review; . 'Demolition plans indicating what is proposed in the partial demolition request; . Written responses to ALL review standards, including those assocIated with the Historic Lot Split, the Significant Development (Conceptual Review), the On-Site Relocation, the PJirtial Demolition, and the any Ordinance 30 Variance requests (if applicable); . . A new FAR bonus request (if desired) --- a code amendment was passed a few mont1;J.s ago requiring that all applicants seeking. an FAR bonus from the HPC participate in a worksession with the HPC explaining' the justification for the bonus request prior to formal review. . New application cover. page (land use' application form) and dimensional requirements form; . New letter of authorization to apply, and proof of ownership; . New noticing and proof of notice. for hearings; . New payment of total fees ($600) and new, signed fee agreement. 130$<.JUTH GALENA STI,EET . ASI'E!'\, COI.ORADO 81611-1975 . PHONE 970.920.5090 .

Given the current date and the time needed to adequately complete a review of the , additional materials required, prepare a staff memo, conduct an HPC site visit, hold a workse~sion to discuss the merits of an FAR bonus request (if applicable), and complete the required noticing activities, there is no way anything can be ready for the January 28, 1998 HPC hearing. We can, however, use the January 28 meeting to arrange times for a site visit and the aforementioned worksession, if you should so desire. The next available HPC hearing would be February II, 1998, and to be prepared for that date, the required submittal materials will need to be in the Community Development Department no later than the 27th of January; otherwise, the next HPC hearing will be on the 25th of February (submissions for this date will be required no later than the lOth of February). You will also need to pay close attention to the dates associflted with notice requirements when plarming your timetable; for instance, publication of notice in the newspaper for the February 11, 1998 HPC hearing must be accomplished by the 24th of January (this means final copy must be sent to the newspaper by the 20th of January). These dates may render the February II HPC hearing an impossibility. As the notice requirements for the February 9th City Council hearing have been missed, and I can see no hann in postponing the second reading of the Landmark Designation Ordinance by two weeks (to February 23rd), I believe we would be remiss in pushing to have the item heard at the February 9th hearing, especially when considering the minimal risk involved. For the February 23rd Council hearing, all of the above mentioned submission requirements for the Landmark Designation process will need to be delivered to the Community Development Department no later than the 9th of February. The Second Reading before City Council of the Landmark Designation Ordinance has never been noticed, and the notice language has not been prepared; however, a notice for the Plarming and Zoning Commission hearing on the Landmark Designation application is available. The HPC application for the lot split, conceptual deveJ<;>pment review,. partial demolition, on-site relocation and variances has been noticed, but the notice that was used is no longer valid/applicable. That is, the information provided in the HPC notice is no longer relevant to the current proposal and will, thus, need to be re.noticed completely. I have attached copies of both of the new notices for your review, but these Will need to be updated/corrected prior to use. I believe the foregoing adequately addresses all currently remaining questions regarding the processes Involved with the 920 W. Hallam Street applications.

Hallam Street is a 11,155 square foot lot which is improved with a house and two outbuildings. It is zoned "R-6, Medium Density Residential," and sits on the edge of the West End neighborhood, bordered by Highway 82 and other residential development. Immediately adjacent properties' are primarily duplex and multi-family dwellings. Single family homes exist on the north and west of the site. History: The house was built in 1888 and is eligible for the National Register of Historic Places as an excellent example of an Aspen miner's cottage. The property has been in the Skiff family since 1935. Two other buildings exist on the site, which are used as a garage and a shed. The garage building was moved to the site in the late 1940's and at one time served as housing for workers on the Colorado Midland Railroad. The shed was a concession stand at the base of Aspen Mountain and was moved to this site in the early 1940's. Proposed development: The proposal is to subdivide off the east 4,100 square feet of the lot and rezone that parcel to "AH1-PUD," With the remainder of the site to. retain "R- 6" zoning. The "AH" parcel will be developed with three attached units; one free market, L ') one "Resident Occupied," and one deed restricted category unit, as allowed by the zone ~~ district. All units will be have three bedrooms. The second parcel Will contain the ~~& ~histOriC house and a new single family house to the west, w. hich is an allowed use on W!'1l 6,000 square feet for historic landmarks. The floor area for these two units is restricted to 3,387 square feet total. The existing garage will be moved from the "AH" parcel to the "R-6" parcel. The shed is proposed to be moved back to the Aspen Mountain base area. The aP1?!icant is not prepared to provide architecture for the R-6 parcel at this time. 13ecause the develo1;lII1ent review process for the affordable units is a lemrtJ;rier process, they are the immediate focus. ~~-:Y7' (Attached are a site plan and architectural drawings of the proposed "AH" development. 'fUOf-T\~ .') the free market home will be approximately 1700 square feet plus a basement. The ok'M 2resident o{'.el1pif".d unit will be approximately 1J59 square feet pll1~ A hA~ement. and th~ u~trf>. category unit will be l,i!50square feet with l.!.2..basement. fdO --'?> (]Dc/iJCiI...._ The development requires some aspects of th lOnal requirements to be addressed by Special Review at P&Z, namel uilding hei , parking, and Floor Area Ratio. The design takes advantage of the very slight drop in grade towards the rear of the site and locates three covered parking spaces, and one uncovered space below the unit on the alley. This unit then has a lower plate height on the second level in order to maintain a consistent ridge height with the other houses on the "AH" parcel. . . 67% ~~ln=- ,""' "'0 ~. /./:I 3),)3'ikf'fA.;..- fcP (, ~11Ii.., )/1\16t' \ i 91.b% ",p / .".

The maximum 'tted for the site by Special Review is fQ'llY square feet The proposed FAR is square feet in order to create 3 bedroom units, The entire property is to be designated a landmark, and HPC will review the propos31 for compatibility with the historic resource. Development Objectives: Because the property is historic, it may be developed with a total of three free market homes via the "Historic Landmark Lot Split." The applicant has chosen to pursue an aft'ordable housing scenario out of a desire to help meet the community's great need for housing for full time residents. We feel that the site is extremely appropriate for AH development. because of its size and characteristics, very close proximity to transit, the multi-family nature of the surrounding development, and the compatibility of family oriented housing with the neighborhood In addition, we are strongly interested in the historic significance of the site and have designed the project to be sympathetic in architecture and scale to the existing buildings, Development Schedule: The intention is to complete the review process in January and to apply for building permits so that construction can begin in the Spring and be completed by Winter. ~ r- .~ ATTACBMENT2 DIMENSIONAL REQUIREMENTS FORM Jake Vickery 920 W.

The proposed setbacks are similar to those e1~~of-' required in the R-6 zone ,district. A height variance is needed for the rear units on the AH i\?-~tJO site so that parking may be p1acedbe10w them. For the R-6 parcel, variances are . expected to be needed on the east and west sideyards due to the location of the existing house and some vegetation, and to accommodate light wells. A five foot rear yard . variance is requested for a garage due to the location of the existing house. . . r-. Ii CONCEPTUAL DEVELOPMENT Response to review standards 1. The proposed development is compatible in general design, massing and volume, scale, and site plan with designated historic structures located on the parcel and with deveiopment on adjacent parcels when the subject site is in a "H," Historic Overlay District, or is adjacent to a Historic Landmark. For Historic Landmarks where proposed development would extend into front yard, side yard and rear yard setbacks, extend into the minimum distance between buildings on the lot or exceed the allowed floor area by up to 500 sq.ft. or the allowed site coverage by up to 5%, HPC may grant such variances after making a finding that such variation is more compatible in character with the historic landmark and the neighborhood, than would be development in accord with dimensional requirements. In no event shall variations pursuant to this section exceed those variations allowed under the Cottage lnfill Program for detached accessory dwelling units, pursuant to Section 26.40.090(B)(2). Response: The existing house sits approximately in the middle of an 11,155 square foot parcel. The property is on the edge of the West End and is zoned R-6, Medium Density Residential. A large multi-family building which is not architectura1ly compatible with the historic structure sits on the east of the site. On the south is Highway 82 and the Villas. On the west and north are single family and duplex homes. The Skiff family has owned 920 W. Hallam Street since 1935. Both the garage and shed were moved onto the site by the family. . This proposal involves subdividing a 4,100 square foot parcel on the east and rezoning to "AH, Affordable Housing." While it is possible to do a historic landmark lot split and create a total of three free market units and two to three ADD's on the site, the applicant prefers to provide deed restricted housing units to help meet the community's need for housing for full time working residents. The project is similar to the one undertaken at 939 E. Cooper Avenue by the Langley's. . Three units are proposed for the AH parcel. The units are in a townhome configuration because of the relatively small size of the lot and the desire to provide parking and some open space around the buildings. The height of the units does increase to 30 feet at the rear of the lot to accommodate parking below the units. The applicant is concerned with creating a compatible relationship between the AH units and historic house, but also feels that there is some benefit to blocking the west wall of the Sagewood condominiums and creating a.better architectura1 transition. The AH units will be very simple in form, detailing and materials. They will be comprised of one 1700 square foot free market unit, one 1,350 square foot resident occupied unit, and one 1,350 square foot category unit. j . ~ .-- ~ "------7 On the west 7,400 square footparcel, the applicant will minimally renovate the historic house and build another house to the west. Each of these houses will be up to 1700 square feet. The AH parcel is the applicant's primary focus at this point due to the longer review process, therefore the development of the west parcel (Lot 2) is represented in only a general manner at this time. 2. The proposed development reflects and is consistent with the character of the neighborhood of the parcel proposed for development; and Response: The neighborhood is a balanced mix ofsinglefami1y, duplex, and multi- family housing. This projeCt will be compatible with those uses. 3. The proposed development enhances or does not detract from the historic significance of designated historic structures located on the parcel proposed for development or adjacent parcels; and Response: Because the garage and shed were moved to this site, the historic significance of the property must be tied mostly to the house. The applicant is sensitive to the open character that has been a part of this property for some time and will respect this character to the extent possible, for instance by providing gardens in front of the houses, which has been a tradition on this site. 4. The proposed development enhances or does not diminish or detract from the architectural character and integrity of a designated historic structure or part thereof. Response: The applicant will restore the historic house and has modest plans for additional space. The adjacent buildings will be architecturally compatible. . r-, .~ PARTIAL DEMOLlTlOrol Response to review standards 1. The partial demolition is required for the renovation, restoration or rehabilitation of the structure or the structure does not contribute to the historic significance of the parcel; 3lld Response: The area of the historic house which is to be demolished was built in the 1960's and does not coiltribute to the significance of the structure. It is approximately 250 square feet in size. Demolition or off-site relocation of outbuildings is reviewed by HPC under the partial demolition standards. In response to the proposal to relocate tbe shed off of the site, the applicant has identified an opportunity to move the building back to the base of Aspen Mountain, where it served as a concession stand in the 1930's. The applicant finds that this is an appropriate action. 2. The applicant has mitigated, to the greatest extent possible: a. Impacts on the historic significance of the structure or structures located on the parcel by limiting demolition of original or significant features and additions. ReSponse: The area of the house which is to be demolished is not historic. The shed is not original to the site. b. Impacts on the architectural character or integrity of the structure or structures located on the parcel by designing new additions so that they are compatible in mass and scale with the historic structure. Response: HPC will review the new addition to the historic house as part of the "Significant Development" review. , ..... . 1""'. ,~ ON-SITE RELOCATION Response to review standards: 2. The relocation activity is demonstrated to be the best preservation method for the character and integrity of the structure, and the historic integrity of the existing neighborhood and adjacent structures win not be diminished due to the relocation; and Response: The garage is not original to the site, therefore its exaCt location on the property is not significant. There win be no impact on the neighborhood. 3. The structure has been demonstrated to be capable of withstanding the physical impacts of the relocation and re-siting. A structural report shall be submitted by a liCensed engineer demonstrating the soundness of the structure proposed for relocation; and Response: The report win be submitted prior to building permit. 4. A relocation plan shall be submitted, including posting a bond or other financial security with the engineering department, as approved by the HPC, to insure the safe relocation, preservation and repair (if required) of the structure, site preparation and infrastructure connections. The receiving site shall be prepared in advance of the physical relocation; and Response: The exact location and treatment of the garage will be reviewed by HPC. A letter of credit will be provided at building permit. . ~ .i~, RESIDENTIAL DESIGN STANDARDS The project requires a variance from the following "Residential Design Standard:" Inflection: If the street frontage of an adjacent structure is one story in height for a distance more,than twelve feet on the side facing a proposed building, then the adjacent portion of the proposed building must also be one (1) story in height for a distance of twelve feet. Response: The units on the AH site can only be approximately 28 feet wide in order to provide a 5 foot setback on each side, which is standard for the surrounding neighborhood. The inflection requirement would mean that the units could only be one story for almost half of their width. The applicant finds that this standard cannot be practically met given the narrowness of the lot Porches and bay windows are proposed on the west side of the building to emphasize the relationship between the new units and the historic house.
