MEMORANDUM
TO: Aspen City Council
FROM: Alice Davis, Planning Office
RE: Benedict Annexation
DATE: September 13, 1982 APPROVED AS TO FORM: LC /6
Background: Fritz and Fabienne Benedict have petitioned fo nd met t
requirements for the annexation of a 0.55 acre arcel of and
located along the Roaring Fork River adjacent to the Callahan
Subdivision. This memorandum is to discuss the land use and
planning concerns relating to this annexation petition as well
as concerns related to the necessary Callahan Subdivision/PUD
plat amendments.
Applicant's
Request: The applicant is requesting the annexation of a 0.55 acre
parcel from Pitkin County into the City of Aspen and the
addition of the annexed parcel to Lot 11, Callahan Subdivision.
The application is requesting that the City zone the parcel R-
15 PUD under the City Zoning Code and that approval be given to
the necessary amendments to the Callahan Subdivision/PUD plat.
Planning Office
Review: The City Council has reviewed the petition for the Benedict
annexation and found the petition acceptable as to form.
Council then sent the application to Planning and Zoning for a
recommendation on the proper zoning for the annexed parcel.
Planning and Zoning has reviewed the rezoning as well as a
simultaneous application requesting approval for the necessary
amendment to the Callahan PUD.
Even though the City Council is the only body which reviews and
approves annexations, the Planning Office would like to go on
record as questioning the appropriateness of the proposed
annexation. The City's annexation policy is to review each
annexation request on a case -by -case basis and determine the
public benefit gained through the proposed annexation. The
parcel to be annexed here does not create any known negative
impacts as it will not generate further traffic generation or
affect road safety; it does not generate any parking problems
nor place any burden on the City's utilities.
There is a minimal amount of positive public benefits resulting
from the proposed annexation due to an increased tax base and
due to water rights which are to be deeded over. The proposed
open space covenant provides protection from development along
the Roaring Fork River, however, this protection already exists
in the County's subdivision regulations.
The Planning Office would simply like to raise the concern that
with only minor public benefit being accrued from the proposed
annexation, the annexation may not be appropriate. This point
may be even more valid in light of the private benefits which
will result from an increase in the allowed floor area for Lot
11 and the increase in the value of this lot. The Planning
Office is not opposing the annexation, only conveying the
concern for the record, of allowing annexations which primarily
result in private benefit.
The Planning Office recommends that the subject parcel be
rezoned to R-15A/PUD. The applicant is requesting an R-15/PUD
zoning. The R-15A zone was established in order to prevent
property owners from circumventing the 50% requirement for
employee housing in the R-15 zone in the County. Duplex owners
in the County's R-15 zone are required to deed restrict one

of the two units to employee housing while this requirement
does not exist in the City's R-15 zone district. The City's R-
15A zone was created with the same requirements as the County's
R-15 zone with the addition of the employee housing requirements.
There is also a question as to whether the annexed parcel which
is to be deed restricted to open space should be included in
floor area calculations. Since allowed FAR is based on lot
size, the Planning Office recommends that the allowed floor
area for any future development on Lot 11 be based on the size
of both the original Lot 11 and the annexed parcel. According
to Ordinance 11, Series of 1982, the floor area allowed on a
47,960 square foot lot (Lot 11: 24,000 square feet; annexed
parcel: 23,960 square feet) would be 6,480 square feet for a
single family structure and 6,857 square feet for a duplex.
The FAR for only Lot 11 (24,000 square feet) would be 5,040
square feet for a single family structure and 5,460 for a
duplex.
The proposed amendment to the Callahan Subdivision/PUD involves
a line adjustment to include the annexed parcel in the PUD. A
new lot is not created since the annexed parcel is joined with
Lot 11. The Planning Office recommends the approval of the
requested amendment to the plat.
Referral
Comments: Engineering Department
After reviewing both the Benedict Annexation Map and the Callahan
Subdivision/PUD plat, the Engineering Department had the following
comments:
1. The Annexation Map should be retitled the "Benedict Annexation
Map".
2. The Callahan Subdivision/PUD plat should be amended as
follows:
a) A vicinity map clearly indicating how the annexation
relates to the existing subdivision and surrounding
properties should be included.
b) The property description should delineate the area
proposed for annexation from the existing Lot 11.
Planning Office
and Planning and
Zoning Recom-
mendation: 1. The Planning and Zoning Commission and the Planning Office
recommend that the newly created Lot 11, Callahan Subdivision
(including the parcel annexed into the City) be rezoned
R-15A/PUD.
2. If annexation occurs, it is recommended that approval be
given to the proposed amendments to the Callahan Subdivision/
PUD plat subject to the following conditions:
a) That the applicant be allowed to calculate the allowed
floor area based on the entire lot, including the
annexed parcel which is to be deed restricted to open
space;
b) That the 0.55 acre annexed parcel be deed restricted to
open space;
c) That the amended Callahan Subdivision/PUD plat meet
the two requirements of the Engineering Department
listed in this memorandum.

RF: Benedict Annexation, Amended P.U.D.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Having reviewed the above application for annexation and
amendment to the PUD plan for the Callahan Subdivision, and
have made a site inspection, the Engineering Department has
the following comments:
One plat should be sufficient for both annexation and
amendment of the P.U.D. plan. Prior to recordation, the following
should be included:
1. Title should be "Second Amended Plat of the Callahan
Subdivision Benedict Annexation."
2. Include a vicinity map clearly indicating how the
annexation relates to the existing subdivision and surrounding
properties.
3. The plat should show the existing City boundary as well
as indicate how the boundary will change to incorporate the
annexed area.
4. The property description should delineate the area
proposed for annexation from the existing Lot 11.

Recommendation:
one of the two units to employee housing while this requirement
does not exist in the City's R-15 zone district. The City's
R-15A zone was created with the same requirements as the
City's R-15 zone with the addition of the employee housing
requirement.
There is also a question as to whether the annexed parcel
which is to be deed restricted to an open space should be
included in floor area calculations. Since allowed FAR is
based on lot size, the Planning Office recommends that the
allowed floor area for any future development on Lot 11 be
based on the size of both the original Lot 11 and the annexed
parcel. According to Ordinance 11, Series of 1982, the floor
area allowed on a 47,960 square foot lot (Lot 11: 24,000 square
feet; annexed parcel: 23,960 square feet) would be 6,480
square feet for a single family structure and 6,857 square feet
for a duplex. The FAR for only Lot 11 (24,000 square feet)
would be 5,040 square feet for a single family structure and
5,460 for a duplex.
The proposed amendment to the Callahan Subdivision/P.U.D.
involves a line adjustment to include the annexed parcel in
the P.U.D. A new lot is not created since the annexed parcel
is joined with Lot 11. The Planning Office recommends the
approval of the requested amendment to the plat. The amended
P.U.D. plat has not yet been reviewed by Engineering, therefore
the comments of the Engineering Department may result in
conditions related to the plat amendment approval.
In summary, the Planning Office recommends the following:
1. The rezoning of the Benedict parcel to be annexed to
R-15A-P.U.D.;
2. That the applicant be allowed to calculate the allowed
floor area on the new Lot 11 based on the entire lot,
including the annexed parcel which is to be deed restricted
to open space;
3. That the 0.55 acre annexed parcel be deed restricted to
open space;
4. That the amended Callahan Subdivision/P.U.D. plat meet
with the Engineering Department's approval.

1. The Callahan Plat should be amended to indicate the
addition to Lot 11. We have not, as yet, seen such a plat.
2. Rezoning to a PUD could serve to mitigate impacts of
any proposed development. It is not clear whether the applicant

Re: Application for Zoning Recommendation
Benedict Annexation.
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Mr. and Mrs. Fredric Benedict have petitioned the City to
annex a tract of land containing approximately 0.55 acres. The
petition was approved as to form by the City Council on June 14,
1982.
Pursuant to CRS 1973, S 31-12-115 the area to be annexed must
be brought under the City's zoning ordinance and map. The purpose
of this request is to initiate the zoning process by obtaining a
recommendation from the Planning and Zoning Commission to the City
Council with respect to what zone district should govern the tract
upon its annexation.
The parcel to be annexed has about 24,000 square feet of land.
It lies between Lot 11, Callahan Subdivision and the Roaring Fork
River. The relevant portion of the annexation map is attached
hereto as Exhibit A to show the location and configuration of the
land in question.
The applicants propose that the land be zoned R-15 PUD, the
same as Lot 11, Callahan to which it is to be added. The present
County zoning of the land is R-15.
As mentioned, the new parcel is to be an addition to Lot 11.
This is to be accomplished by amending the Callahan Subdivision PUD
plat and development plan pursuant to the provisions of § 24-8.26
of the City Code. The applicants also request the Planning and
Zoning Commission (P & Z) to recommend such an amendment to the
Callahan PUD.

Applicant's
Request: The applicant is requesting the annexation of a 0.55 acre parcel

the annexed parcel to Lot 11, Callahan Subdivision. The
application is requesting that the City zone the parcel R-15
P.U.D. under the City Zoning Code and that approval be given
to the necessary amendments to the Callahan Subdivision/P.U.D.
plat.
Planning Office
Review: The City Council has reviewed the petition for the Benedict
annexation and found the petition acceptable as to form.
Council has now directed the application to Planning and Zoning
for a recommendation on the proper zoning for the annexed
parcel. The applicant is applying for approval for the necessary
amendment to the Callahan P.U.D. simultaneously with the rezoning.

To: City Attorneys Office
Planning Office
From: Jim Moran
Attorney for the Benedicts
Subject: Replat of Lot 11, Callahan Subdivision,
Zoning and PUD Amendment
Date: June 29, 1982
This Memorandum is written in response to a Planning Office Memorandum,
dated June 8, 1982, addressed to Gary Esary, Assistant City Attorney.
In its memo, the Planning Office identified three problems that will have
to be dealt with in zoning the 0.55 acre parcel which is the subject of the
Benedict Annexation Petition approved as to form by the City Council on June
14, 1982.
The three considerations mentioned by the Planning Office are:
(1) Zoning, (2) Floor Area Ratio, and (3) PUD Amendment.
The Benedicts suggest that R-15 PUD is the appropriate zoning; that the
floor area ratio should be determined according to the lot size formula
recently enacted in Ordinance No. 11, Series of 1982; and that the Callahan
Subdivision PUD should be amended by replatting Lot 11 to include the annexed
parcel.
The appropriate zoning seems self-evident. The territory being annexed
is presently zoned R-15 under the County zoning resolution. All of Callahan
Subdivision was, upon its annexation, zoned R-15 PUD. The Planned Unit Develop-
ment Plan for Callahan included the Aspen Club athletic complex, the Aspen
Club Townhouses, the Benedict Office Building and twelve (12) platted single
family lots, each of which exceeds the minimum lot size required in an R-15
zone district. Since the newly annexed territory is to be added to Lot 11,
the most simple and sensible zone designation to apply is R-15 PUD, the same
as original Lot 11. As a practical matter, the PUD designation with respect
to the individual single-family lots in Callahan is now meaningless. The
official Development Plan for Callahan has already been approved and is in
existence. It consists of the mix described above, one component of which is
a group of 12 ordinary R-15 platted single-family lots. There is no need to
complicate things by applying PUD considerations to each lot or group of lots
in separate ownership. The PUD considerations were involved in planning the
entire subdivision. Part of the overall plan consists of a group of single-
family lots which, having been platted and approved, are now just ordinary
R-15 lots.
With respect to floor area ratio, it is clear to us that Ordinance No. 11
is premised on the overriding concept that allowable building floor area for
single-family dwellings is a function of lot size, not of location or zone
district. Clauses 2 and 3 of the eighth "Whereas" clause in the ordinance
read as follows:
"2. The 'sliding scale' method deals more equitably with
the great range of lot sizes found within each zone
district than does a separate floor area ratio for each
district.
"3. The 'sliding scale' approach appropriately assumes that
allowable building floor area for single-family and
duplex units is a function of lot sizes. Therefore,
the requirement is uniform across the City, works
irrespective of zone districts, and does not penalize
an applicant because of where he owns property."
The fact that a portion of replatted Lot 11 may not be built upon does
not reduce the size of the lot. Nor does it form the basis for modifying the
operation of Ordinance 11 less than two months after its enactment. The
entire lot should be considered in determining floor area ratio. This results
in a modest increase of approximately 1,400 square feet of building floor
space from the addition of almost 24,000 square feet in lot area.
We also think it is clear that each previously subdivided lot in the
Callahan Subdivision is entitled to its own f.a.r. calculation under
Ordinance 11. In other words we see no basis for or benefit from making an
average unit f.a.r. calculation as though this were a proposed PUD. We empha-
size once again that Callahan is previously approved PUD which includes 12
subdivided, platted and approved R-15 lots. Going through the PUD f.a.r.
calculation is simply a needless mathematical exercise. In this process the
total lane, area is calculated and then divided by the total number of existing
and proposed units yielding an average land area per unit which in turn is
then used to determine average allowable floor area per unit. Suppose this
determination is made; what then? Is each lot in Callahan assigned the
average allowable f.a.r. regardless of size? Certainly that would be contrary
to the spirit and intent of Ordinance 11 which is predicated on the idea that
allowable building f.a.r. varies according to lot size. Or is the total
allowable f.a.r. then allocated back to each lot in proportion to its size?
If this is done the f.a.r. for each lot will be the same, within a few
square feet, as if calculated separately for each lot. If there is a
difference as a result of using the PUD average f.a.r. method, who will
keep track of it? Does this serve the "ease of administration" precept set
forth in Ordinance 11 as follows:
"5. The method is easy to explain and administer and can be
readily applied at an applicant's request."
We suggest that letting each Callahan lot pull its own f.a.r. pursuant to
the sliding scale set forth in Ordinance 11 is the appropriate way to deal
with the f.a.r. consideration.
Amending the Callahan PUD to add the annexed tract to Lot 11 is the
appropriate procedure for accomplishing the foregoing. This procedure,
codified in Section 24-8.26, has been utilized previously to amend the original
Callahan final plat and development plan. The amended plat need only show the
changes to the original plat but should contain book and page references to
i
the original and first amended plats. This means that the annexation map with
appropriate changes and legends can be recorded as the latest amendment to the
original Callahan plat.
I would like to meet with both the City Attorney and
to confirm that we are ready to proceed under C.R.S. 1973,
complete the annexation, zoning and subdivision processes
soon as possible.

RE: Benedict Annexation
DATE: June 8, 1982
From a land use standpoint, the Planning Office has no immediate problems
with the proposed Benedict annexation. The annexation of the small 0.55
acre parcel does not at this time present any significant impacts to the
City. The Planning Office has however identified the following three problems
which will need to be dealt with during the process for zoning the parcel if
it is annexed into the City.
1. Zoning -- The parcel is currently surrounded by the R-15 PUD zone district.
The petitioners have requested that, upon annexation, the subject parcel
also be zoned R-15 subject to its dedication as open space. The appropriate-
ness of the proposed R-15 zone district and possibly a mandatory PUD desig-
nation will need to be addressed.
2. Floor Area Ratio -- A determination will need to be made as to whether or not
the annexed lot, adjacent to Lot 11, Callahan Subdivision, will be included
in the lot size of Lot 11 which is used for calculating allowable floor area
for the residential structure allowed on that parcel. The annexed parcel is
to be deed restricted to open space and therefore cannot be developed but may
possibly be used in calculating lot size. The allowable floor area for
the structure on Lot 11 will vary according to whether Lot 11 is still a
part of the Callahan Subdivision PUD and whether the annexed parcel is to be
included in the lot size for floor area calcualations. An FAR for a lot in
an existing PUD is based on the size of the entire land ownership and
existing unit sizes versus the lot size and allowable floor area calculation,
on an individual lot not in a PUD.
3. PUD Considerations -- An amendment to the Callahan PUD will be necessary if
Lot 11 is removed from the Callahan PUD or if the annexed parcel is added to
the PUD. There are four alternatives for dealing with PUD amendment
considerations, listed below, which the applicant and the City Council will
need to evaluate:
a) Amend the original Callahan PUD to include the annexed parcel and base
FAR calculations on the entire PUD,
b) Amend the original Callahan PUD in order to exclude Lot 11, creating a
new parcel which can be joined to the annexed parcel. This alternative
will also require full subdivision or subdivision exception procedures
to divide the land. Allowable floor area will be based on the size of
the newly -created subdivision,
c) Amend the original PUD by eliminating Lot 11 and creating a new PUD con-
sisting of both Lot 11 and the annexed parcel. Allowable floor area will
be calculated using PUD calculation procedures on the new PUD.
d) Status quo -- Lot 11 idl] in the Callahan PUD while the annexed
parcel will not be adders irrto this PUD. As a result, the allowable floor
area must be calculated using PUD calculation procedures on the original
Callahan PUD and the two tparae_i.s wi11 need to be conveyed through one
deed.
MEMORANDUM
DATE: June 8, 1982
TO: Members of City Council
FROM: Gary Esary4 �7
RE: Benedict Annexation Petition (Lot 11, Callahan Subdivision)
Approved for submission to Council. _ '
Wayne /V. Chapman, Nity Manager
The Benedict Annexation Petition was filed on April 7, 1982. It
has been reviewed with comments from Enginering and briefly
reviewed by Planning. This office has reviewed the Benedict Peti-
tion in light of the requirements of the Colorado Municipal Annex-
ation Act (C.R.S. 31-12-101 et seq.) and find the following:
I. ELIGIBILITY
C.R.S. 31-12-107(1)(a) provides that the landowners of more
than fifty percent of the area, excluding public streets and
alleys, meeting the requirements of Sections 31-12-104 and
31-12-105 may petition the governing body of any municipality
for the annexation of such territory.
a. Section 31-12-104 imposes the following eligibility
requirements for annexation:
1. No less than one -sixth of the perimeter of the area
proposed to be annexed is contiguous with the
annexing municipality. (It appears that the one -
sixth of the perimeter requirement is satisfied.)
2. That a community of interest exists between the
area proposed to be annexed and the annexing muni-
cipality; that the proposed area is urban or will
be urbanized in the near future; and that the area
is integrated with or is capable of being inte-
grated with the annexing municipality. The fact
that the area proposed to be annexed has contiguity
with the City provides a basis for a finding of
compliance with these requirements unless the City
Council, upon the basis of competent evidence pre-
sented at the hearing provided for in Section 31-
12-109, finds that at least two of the following
are shown to exist:
(1) less than fifty percent of the adult residents
of the area proposed to be annexed make use of
part or all of the following types of the
facilities of to City of Aspen: recreational,
civic, social, religious, industrial or com-
mercial; and less than twenty-five percent of
said area's residents are employed in the
annexing municipality. If there are no adult
residents at the time of the hearing, this
standard shall not apply;
(2) one-half or more of the land proposed to be
annexed (including streets) is agricultural,
and the landowners of such agricultural land,
under oath, express an intention to devote the
land to such agricultural use for a period of
not less than five years; and
(3) it is not physically practicable to extend to
the area proposed to be annexed those urban
services which the annexing municipality pro-
vides in common to all of its c6itizens on the
same terms and conditions as such services are
made available to such citizens.
(The fact that the Benedict property has one -
sixth contiguity with the City of Aspen may
2
establish a basis for a finding of compliance
with the requirements of Section 3-12-104 as
set forth above. As will be discussed below,
Council may not need to set a hearing to
ascertain whether the above requirements are
satisfied.
b. Section 31-12-105 sets forth the following limitations:
1. In establishing the boundaries of any territory to
be annexed, no land held in identical ownership
shall be divided into separate parts or parcels
without the written consent of the landowners
thereof unless such tracts or parcels are separated
by dedicated street, road or other public way.
(Since the petition is signed by one hundred per-
cent of the landowners, it appears that this limi-
tation is inapplicable.)
2. In establishing the boundaries of the area proposed
to be annexed, no land held in identical ownership
comprising twenty acres or more shall be included
without the written consent of the landowners
unless such tract of land is situated entirely
within the outer boundaries of the annexing munici-
pality as they exist at the time of annexation.
(Since it is alleged one hundred percent of the
landowners have submitted the petition, it appears
that this limitation is inapplicable).
3. No annexation resolution and no annexation petition
shall be valid when annexation proceedings have
been commenced for the annexation of part or all of
the territory to another municipality. (I assume
that annexation proceedings have not 'been commenced
for all or part of the territory to another munici-
pality.)
4. As to any annexation which will result in the
detachment of any area from any school district and
3
the attachment of same to another school district,
no annexation petition is valid unless accompanied
by a resolution of the Board of Directors of the
school district to which such area will be attached
approving such annexation. (I assume that the pro-
posed annexation will not result in the detachment
of the area from any existing school district.)
II. FILING WITH THE CITY CLERK
Section 31-12-107(1)(b) requires that the petition shall be
filed with the Municipal Clerk. (This requirement has been
met.)
III. CONTENTS OF THE PETITION
Section 31-12-107(1)(c) provides that the petition must con-
tain the following:
(a) An allegation that it is desirable and necessary that
such area be annexed to the municipality. (This
requirement has been met.)
(b) An allegation that the requirements of Sections 31-12-
104 and 31-12-105, as discussed above, exist or have
been met. (This requirement has been met.)
(c) An allegation that the signers of the petition comprise
the landowners of more than fifty percent of the terri-
tory included in the area proposed to be annexed, exclu-
sive of streets and alleys. (This requirement has been
met.)
(d) A request that the annexing municipality approve the
annexation of the area to be annexed. (This requirement
has been met.)
(e) The signaturesofsuch landowners. (Thisrequirement
has been met.)
(f) The mailing address of each such signer. (This require-
ment has been met.)
(g) The legal description of the land owned by such signer.
(This requirements has been met.)
4
(h) The date of signing of each signature and that the date
shall not be more than 180 days prior to the filing of
the Petition. (This requirement has been met.)
(i) The affidavit of each circulator of such petition,
whether consisting of one or more sheets, that each
signature therein is the signature of the person whose
name it purports to be. (This requirement has been
met.)
IV. ANNEXATION MAP REQUIREMENTS
Section 31-12-107(d) provides that accompanying the petition
shall be four copies of an annexation map containing the
following information:
(a) A written legal description of the boundaries of the
area proposed to be annexed.
(b) A map showing the boundary of the area proposed to be
annexed.
(c) Within the annexation boundary map, a showing of the
location of each ownership tract and unplatted land and,
if part or all the area is platted, the boundaries and
the plat numbers of plats or of lots and blocks.
(d) Next to the boundary of the area to be proposed to be
annexed, a drawing of the contiguous boundary of the
annexing municipality and the contiguous boundary of any
municipality abutting the area proposed to be annexed.
V. VALIDITY OF SIGNATURES.
Section 31-12-107(1)(e) provides that no signature on the
petition is valid if it is dated more than one hundred eighty
days prior to the date of filing the petition for annexation
with the Clerk,- (Th-i requirement has been met.)
VI. PROCEDURE FOR.APPRDVING THE PETITION
(1) Section 31-12-107(1)(f) provides that the Municipal
Clerk shall refer the petition to the City Council as a
communication. The City Council, without delay, shall
theTE .take appropriate steps to determine if the petition
so filed'is substantially in compliance with Section
5
31-12-107(1), i.e. the requirements discussed in para-
graphs I through V, above.
(2) If the petition is, found to be in substantial compliance
with Section 31-12-107(1), the procedures outlined in
Section 31-12-108 to 31-12-110 shall then be followed.
• (These sections pertain to the holding of a public hear-
ing and are discussed below..) If it is not in substan-
tial compliance, no further action shall be taken;
except that the governing body shall make such determin-
ation by a resolution and except when the petition is
signed by the owners of one hundred percent of the area
proposed to be annexed, exclusive of streets and alleys,
the governing body may by ordinance annex such area to
the municipality without notice or hearing, as provided
in Sections 31-12-108 and 31-12-109, and without elec-
tion, as provided in Section 31-12-112, unless addi-
tional terms and conditions are to be imposed. The
ordinance annexing such area shall include a statement
that the owner of one hundred percent of the area have
petitioned for such annexation.
I interpret the language of Section 31-12-107(1)(g) to
mean that if the City Council by resolution finds that
the petition is in "substantial compliance" with Section
31-12-107(1) then it may by ordinance annex such area to
the City without notice -or hearing and without an elec-
tion, unless additional terms and conditions are to be
imposed. I perceive the waiving of the notice and hear-
ing requirements to be a matter within the discretion of
Council and I will outline the hearing provisions for
your information:
(a) Section 31-12-10.8 provides that as part of the
resolution.fa.nding substantial compliance with an
annexation petition, the governing body of the
annexing municipality shall establish a date, time,
and place that the governing body will hold a hear-
0
ing to determine if the proposed annexation com-
plies with Sections 31-12-104 and 31-12-105 or such
parts thereof as may be required to establish
eligibility for annexation. (These requirements
are discussed in paragraph I, above.) The hearing
shall be held not less than thirty days nor more
than sixty days after the effective date of the
resolution setting the hearing. This hearing need
not be held if the municipality has determined
exclusively that the requirements of Sections 31-
12-104 and 31-12-105 have not been met. The notice
of the hearing shall be published once a week for
four successive weeks. The first publication of
the notice shall be at least thirty days prior to
the date of the hearing.
(b) Section 31-12-109 sets forth the procedure for con-
ducting the hearing and provides that any person
living within the area proposed to be annexed, any
landowner of lands.therein, any resident of the
municipality to which the area is proposed to be
annexed, Board of County Commissioners of any
county from which the area would be detached by
said annexation may appear at such hearing and pre-
sent evidence on any matter to be determined by the
governing body.
(c) Section 31-12-110'sets forth the findings of fact
and the conclusions of the governing body which
must be made:
(1) Whether or not the requirements of the appli-
cable.p:a-rts of Sections 31-12-104 and 31-12-
105 hav€ .been met. The governing body shall
also determine whether or not additional terms
and conditions are to be imposed. Section 31-
12-110 also provides that a finding that the
area.proposed for annexation does not comply
,7
with the applicable provisions of Sections 31-
12-104 and 31-12-105 shall terminate the
annexation proceedings. Pursuant to Section
31-12-112, if the governing body determines
that additional terms and conditions should be
imposed upon the area proposed to be annexed,
an annexation election shall be called to
determine whether a majority of the qualified
electors approve of the annexation, with such
terms and conditions, if any, as may attach
thereto.
VII. INITIATION OF ZONING AND SUBDIVISION PROCEEDINGS.
Section 31-12-115 provides, generally, that the annexing
municipality may institute the procedure outlined in state
statutes or municipal charter to make the land subject to
zoning at any time after a resolution of intent has been
passed in accordance with Section 31-12-107 and, also,
allows the annexing municipality to institute the procedure
outlined in the subdivision regulations to subdivide land
in the area proposed to be annexed at any time after such
resolution. This section further provides that if either
the zoning process or the subdivision process is commenced
prior to the date of the annexation ordinance, the proposed
zoning and subdivision ordinances shall not be passed on
final reading prior to the date when the annexation ordin-
ance is passed on final reading.
VIII. ADDITIONAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS - LOU BUETTNER'S MEMO OF
JANUARY 5, 1982.
The property sought to be annexed is burdened by a
Declaration of Protective Covenants, recorded in Book 413
Page 828 of the records of Pitkin County, Colorado. This
Declaration is attached as Exhibit "A" to the Petition for
Annexation. Petitioners have requested in their Petition
(Paragraph 2, Page 2) that this open space restriction be
incorporated into the annexation approval. Since the sub-
8
IX.
ject property is already burdened by the Declaration, it is
my opinion that incorporation of the restriction is not an
additional term or condition such as to give rise to the
necessity of an election.
A closer question is presented if the Council elects to
adopt the Engineering Office suggestion (attached memo of
June 2, 1982, from Jay Hammond) that the annexed area be
excluded from calculations of development rights on Lot 11.
The Planning Office is now reviewing the anticipated rezon-
ing request and the nature of the parcel to be formed by
the combination of Lot 11 and the annexed property (new
PUD, amendment to old PUD, etc.). This process is taking
place simultaneously with the annexation process. The
rezoning and planning process may moot this exclusion
issue. A preliminary opinion by Council on this issue
would be helpful to•this office and to Planning.
RESOLUTION OF INTENT.
In light of the above -stated requirements and assuming that
no additional terms and conditions will be imposed, we have
prepared for your consideration a resolution which accom-
plishes the following:
(a) Determines that the annexation petition comprising
one hundred percent of the landowners of the area
proposed to be annexed is "substantially in compli-
ance" with the requirements of Section 31-12-
107(1).
(b) Determines that the applicable parts of Sections
31-12-104 and 31-12-105 have been met and that an
election jr not required under Section 31-12-
107(2), in view of the fact that the petition is
signed by the owners of one hundred percent of the
area to be annexed, exclusive of streets and
alleys.
(c) A determination of .,intent pursuant to C.R.S. 31-
12-107(g) to annex the subject parcel by ordinance
}
without notice or hearing as provided in Sections
31-12-108 and 31-12-109, and without election as
provided in Section 31-12-112 (i.e. that additional
terms and conditions should not be imposed upon the
area proposed to be annexed).
(d) Pursuant to the provisions of C.R.S. 31-12-115,
allows the institution of the appropriate procedure
for zoning the area proposed to be annexed.
X. DEPARTMENT REFERRALS.
The Engineering Department and Planning Office memos are
attached hereto.
XI. SUMMARIZATION.
The following is a summarization of the decisions to be
made by Council.
(1) Is the annexation "substantially in compliance"
with Section 31-12-107(1)?
It is my opinion that the annexation petition is
substantially in compliance with Section 31-12-
107.
(2) Determine whether or not the requirements of Sec-
tions 31-12-104 and 31-12-105 have been met:
(a) Is at least one -sixth of the perimeter of the
area proposed to be annexed contiguous with
the annexing municipality? (This requirement
has been met.)
(b) That a community of interest exists between
the area proposed to be annexed and the annex-
ing municipality; that the proposed area is
urban or will be urbanized in the future; and
that the area is integrated or is capable of
being integrated with the annexing municipal-
ity. The fact that the area to be annexed has
contiguity with the City provides a basis for

a finding of compliance with these require-
ments.
(3) Determine whether or not the limitations prescribed
by Section 31-12-105 would preclude an annexation
(It appears that the limitations of Section 31-12-
105 do not pertain to this annexation petition.)
(4) If Council is undecided as to whether or not the
requirements of Sections 31-12-104 and 31-12-105
have been met and/or whether additional terms and
conditions should be imposed upon the annexation
conduct a hearing in accordance with the require-
ments of Section 31-12-108 through 31-12-110.

RE: Benedict Annexation
--------------------------------------------------------------
Having reviewed the above application for annexation, and having
made a site inspection, the Engineering Department has the
following comments:
1. The addition of the area proposed for annexation to the
existing Lot 11 of the Callahan mitigates the need for separate
access to the annexed parcel.
2. The annexation plat submitted with the application appears
to be in substantial compliance with the Colorado Revised Statutes
covering such applications. The only further requirement might be
a letter from Mr. Benedict consenting to the effective subdivision
of his ownership south of the Callahan.
3. We have no further problems with this application if the
applicant, as he states, is willing to restrict the annexed parcel
as open space. The city may also wish to exclude the annexed area
from computation of development rights on the lot to which it is
added.

FROM: Alan Richman
RE: Annexation Review Procedure
DATE: February 24, 1982
Introduction
Since the entire procedure for review of annexation petitions
is not established in the Municipal. Code but instead is set by
state enabling legislation, this process has not been well
understood in the past. Therefore, the purpose of this memo
is to explain to all involved how annexation petitions should
be handled in the future.
Review Procedure
Typically, several copies of an annexation petition will be
filed with the City Clerk so that they may be acted upon by
the City. The City Clerk has agreed that from here on in,
these copies will be sent to the Planning Office for our re-
ferral.
Copies of the annexation petition and annexation map should
be referred to the City Attorney and City Engineer. Comments
should be received from these departments within a normal re-
ferral time period ( 2-3 weeks) so that we can put together a
memo for Council identifying any outstanding legal, engineering
and planning issues. Typically, these issues will result in
a determination as to whether or not to annex the parcel in
question and what conditions -to attach to the annexation. If
the applicant accepts the conditions of annexation, the City
Attorney will draft a resolution of annexation by which Concil
sets out the conditions under which annexation will occur. If
the applicant rejects the conditions, an election for annexation
must be held and our role in the review procedure would be
temporarily suspended.
Presuming the applicant accepts the conditions and Council
approves the resolution, the next step in the procedure is to
set a P&Z public hearing to zone the property. 'We do not charge
a fee for this process since the state regulations mandate that
we zone the property within 99 days of its annexation.
Following P&Z action on a zoning hearing, the final step in
the process is for City Council to adopt an ordinance zoning
the property and formalizing its annexation. As always, this
is a two reading procedure which we work on in cooperation with
the City Attorney. Once the zoning ordinance is approved, we
should make sure that the ordinance and plat are recorded by
the City Clerk within 30 days or our zoning action is null and void.
Planning Office Considerations
The basic role of the Planning Office in annexation is that of
a clearinghouse. Since there is not an adopted annexation
policy but instead a belief that review should be on a case -
by -case basis, we have no.established criteria to follow in
our analysis. Nevertheless, it seems clear that our comments
should include an evaluation of the impact on urban form in
terms of sprawl or leapfrogging. We would be expected to make
a zoning recommendation on the basis of the surrounding pattern
and our adopted plans. We should be prepared to comment on any
density increase which occurs as a result of annexation. We
should also consider whether there will be any fiscal, environ-
mental or other impacts associated with annexation. Finally,
we should be prepared to write the cover memos to P&Z and Council
by which we Shepard the annexation through the review process.
PETITION FOR ANNEXATION
Petitioners, FREDERIC A. BENEDICT and FABIENNE BENEDICT, the
owners of the land described in the annexation map, four copies of
which are submitted herewith, respectfully petition the City
Council of the City of Aspen, Colorado to annex said land.
In support of this petition it is shown to the Council that:
1. The land to be annexed consists of 0.55 acres, more or
less, and is described as follows:
A parcel of land situated in the East' of
Section 18, T. 10 S., R. 84 W. of the 6th P.M., Pitkin
.County, Colorado and being more fully described as
follows:
Beginning at corner of No.l Riverside Placer
(M.S. 3905 A.M.) said corner being on the westerly
