The agreement stipulated that the ten lodge units would be short-term rentals. The requested change is that one of the units be rented to a working resident of Pitkin County for a one year period. Staff recommends approval of this request because of its finite nature, and the fact that the agreement was made when the short-term lodging situation was very different than today. Application information is attached. APPLICANT: Mary I. Faulkner LOCATION: Unit No. 14 Tipple Lodge, 530 S. Galena ZONING: L/TR BACKGROUND: The parcel contains two studio apartments and ten lodge units (sleeping/living area and bath) of approximately 350 s.f. each. When the property was condominiumized in 1979, the applicant adressed the requirement of City Council to retain L-2 (now L/TR) zone lodge units in the short-term lodging pool. They included in the subdivision exemption agreement a condition that the ten units would "be made available for short-term rental at market rates and shall be registered with a central reservations entity in Pitkin County." STAFF COMMENTS: During the past several years there has been shifts in the short- term lodging market. There have been some loss of small lodge accommodations, but the Ritz Carlton has brought over 200 rooms on line. According to some small lodge owners, the rental of private dwellings has increased substantially also. The request of this applicant does not alter the principal goal of the original approval to retain the charater and function of the Tipple lodge. Staff confirmed with representative Gary Wright that cooking will be limited to a microwave oven, bar refridgerator and small sink so as not to create a full fledged kitchen per code definition. a C� Given the self-imposed one year limit for this request, staff supports the proposal with the following conditions: 1. Unit 14 of the Tipple Lodge may be occupied by a full-time worker within Pitkin County for a period of not more than 365 consecutive days commencing on the date of approval by the Community Development Director. 2. Cooking within the unit shall be restricted to a microwave oven and small dormitory style refridgerator. 3. If the applicant seeks to extend the duration of this approval , or expand the number of long-term units, the applicant must apply to the City Council for a substantial amendment to the 1979 subdivision exemption agreement. The applicant is hereby notified that adequate time must be allowed to process the request and schedule appropriate Council meetings. I approve the request for an insubstantial amendment to the Tipple Lodge subdivision exemption agreement subject to the three conditions stated ireno. rh O UD Stan Clauson, Community Development Di oclo�� � � 16 Date Ocr, 01yg i�FVFZOPMFNT 6 �OFASPFN O�RFG 40 a WRIGHT & ADGER LAW PARTNERSHIP 201 NORTH MILL STREET, SUITE 10¢ - ASPEN, COLORADO 81611 1 ASPEN TELEPHONE: 303-925-562 BASALT TELEPHONE: 303-927-90 FACSIMILE: 303-925-5663 u y GARY A.

I have reviewed the Aspen Municipal Code, Section 26.88.060. Although not exactly on point, this Municipal Code section seems to be the most applicable. The request is for a one year variance for one condominium lodge unit from the requirement of page 2, number 2(a) "the ten lodge unit shall be made available for short term rental at market rates and shall be registered with a central reservations entity in Pitkin County, Colorado". The technical change would be, for one year only, to allow one of the ten condominium lodge units to be leased as a long-term rental to an individual who would use the unit as his home and who is employed seasonally full-time in Pitkin County. Due to the short term of the request and the fact that it will only involve ten percent of the total condominium lodge units at the Tipple Lodge, I believe that this qualifies as insubstantial. Further, it is important to recognize that this Subdivision Exemption Agreement was entered into almost 20 years ago and the character of the neighborhood as well as the availability of lodge and hotel rooms in the area is radically changed. The applicant understands that this approval would be for a one year period only and if the applicant desires to offer condominium lodge rooms for long-term rental in the future, appropriate uYk.rVvaiJ a.'ill iae%u t:v be ✓vt.L?f•.e'� +r(!ni tbe.

Wright GAW:sc IGAMCLAUSON.001 I SUBDIVISION EXEMPTION AGREEMENT 1. Parties. The parties to this agreement are The Tipple Lodge, a joint venture ("the Owner") and the City of Aspen, Colorado, a municipal corporation ("the City"). 2. Recitations. The Owner holds fee title to the following described property ("the subject property") in the City of Aspen, Pitkin County, Colorado: Lot 2, Tipple woods Subdiv;sicn, according to the recorded plat for Tipple Woods Subdivision recorded as Docunent No. 107798 in Ditch Book 2A at Page 250 of the records of Pi Join County, Colorado. The subject property is improved with a three-story building containing two studio apartments, ten bed- and bathroom units ("lodge units"), and enclosed area used for interior circulation, lounge, reception room, laundry room, and mechanical and storage purposes. The Owner desires to condominiurcize the building into ten lodge units and two studio units, all of which may be held in separate ownerships, and the remainder into common elements. Pursuant to Section 20-19(b) of the Municipal Code of the City of Aspen, Colorado, the Owner requested that the above described condominiumization be exempted_ from -the definition of a subdivision set forth in Section 20-3(s) of the Municipal Code. Concerned that the condominiiLmi .atien might reduce the supply of short-term housing in the L-2 zone district of the City of Aspen by virtue of lodge condominium unit owners' use of the units as residences and/or withholding the lodge units from the rental market, the City Council required, as a condition of its approval of the exemption application, that the Owner enter into an agreement with the City restricting the use of the subject property and the condominium units created therefrom as follows. (a) the ten lodge units shall be made available for short-term rental at market rates and shall be registered with a central reservations entity in Pitkin County, Colorado; and, (b) no kitchen shall be constructed in any of the lodge units without the owner thereof hamming obtained a building permit therefor, it being specifically understood that the Growth Management Plan (Article X of the Municipal Code) precludes the issue of a building permit for such construction without the owner obtaining a residential allocation within the terms of the Growth Management Plan; and, (c) the lodge units shall have local management which may be different for different units. 3. Agreement and covenant. In consideration of the City's approval of the exemption from subdivision of the said condo- miniumization, the owner hereby agrees with the City that the provisions of subparagraphs (a),(b) and (c) of the above par- agraph numbered 2 shall encumber the subject property and the condominium units created therefrom, shall run with the land and shall be enforceable against all subsequent owners thereof, including the owner, its joint venturers, its successors and -2- and assigns. Should the subject property not be condominiumized. ed as such, this agreement shall be null and void and and convey t the subject property may be conveyed free and clear of any his agreement, but subject to all restrictions imposed by t applicable laws and ordinances in force on the date of the conveyance. 4. Subdivision exemption. The City, in consideration of this agreement, exempts the condominiumization described herein from the definition of subdivision,- such that condominiumization may occur without further action or approval by the City. perpetuities. The covenants contained herein are to 5, run with the land and shall be binding on all parties and all persons claiming under them for a p eriod of twenty (20) years from the date these covenants are recorded, after which time, the covenants, as contained in paragraph three (3), shall be automatically extended for successive periods of ten (10) nt signed by the record owners of years, unless an instrume thq property and the Mayor of the City of Aspen pursuant to a vote taken by the City Council has been recorded which changes said covenants, in whole or in part, or which releases the same.
