MEMORANDUM TO: Chris Bendon, City of Aspen Community Development Director FROM: Chris Lee, City Planner RE: EXTENSION REQUEST FOR RECORDATION OF SUBDIVISION DOCUMENTS - TIpPLER TOWNHOMESITIPPLE LODGE (RESIDENCES AT LITTLE NELL) DATE: December 7, 2004 SUMMARY: Vann Associates, LLC, on behalf of the applicant Aspen Land Fund, LLC, requests a six (6) month extension of the deadline for filing the final subdivision documents for the Tipple LodgelTippler Townhomes (Residences at Little Nell), from December 20, 2004 until June 20, 2005. The reason for the extension request is to allow the applicant sufficient time with which to process, finalize and submit to the City the final recordation documents for the Residences at Little Nell, which have received final PUD approval by the City Council. LEGAL DESCRIPTION AND PARCEL ID NUMBERS: Tipple Lodge Parcel: 2737-182-36945 Tipple Inn Parcel: 2737-182-36291 Ski Company Parcel: 2737-182-36877 ZONING: PUD REVIEW PROCEDURE: The Community Development Director, pursuant to Land Use Code Section 26.445.100, Planned Unit Developments, may approve insubstantial amendments to an approved PUD. BACKGROUND: The Tipple Lodge was approved by City Council on June 23, 2003 (Ordinance No. 23, Series of 2003) with a condition that the final subdivision documents (the plat and the subdivision agreement) be recorded with the Pitkin County Clerk and Recorder within 180 days, or by December 20,2003. While the applicant had this approval in place, it simultaneously processed and received approval by the City Council for a Conceptual PUD for another project on a portion of the same site. That project, the Residences at Little Nell, was the applicant's preferred project for the site and it consequently submitted a final PUD approval in order to construct it. Realizing that the review process for the final PUD would likely extend well beyond the initial December 20, 2003 deadline that was set to record the subdivision documents for the Tippler Lodge, the Applicant applied for, and was granted, an insubstantial amendment that pushed the deadline out a full year to December 20, 2004. 1 ~... '" ~"_"""'""""""'''''''~'>","~^'-''~'< '1 ~, ./ . o~, having received final PUD approval of the Residences at Little Nell, the review process extended longer than anticipated and the Applicant believes that the deadlme of December 20, 004 is not sufficient to be able to process, finalize and submit to the CIty tlle final recordation i.documents for the Residences at Little Nell. Thus, to remain in compliance wIth all of the requirements of the original approval and in the best interest of the community, the Applicant requests a six (6) month extension of the deadline to June 20 2005. , STAFF FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATION: Staff finds that the request for a six (6) month extension to process, finalize and submit to the City the final recordation documents is appropriate and that the Commumty Development Director may sign off on the request. Staff believes that a legitimate community interest is served here, in that the Residences at Little Nell is a quality timeshare project that will serve to vitalize the area in which it is located and attract additional visitors to the commumty.

The request is submitted pursuant to Section 26.480.080.E. of the City's Land Use Regulations by Aspen Land Fund, LLC, the owner of the two properties. This section of the Regulations permits the Community Development Director to extend the recordation deadline if the request is within the vesting timeline and there is a community interest for approving the extension. The final subdivision documents for the Tipple LodgelTippler Townhomes properties were to have been recorded within 180 days of the receipt of final City Council approval. Final approval was granted by the City Council on June 23, 2003 pursuant to Ordinance No. 23, Series of 2003. Consequently, the project's final plat and subdivision agreement were to have been recorded no later than December 20, 2003. This deadline, however, was extended by Julie Ami Woods at the owner's request until December 20, 2004 (see enclosed Notice of Decision). As you know, Aspen Land Fund has received final PUD approval for the Residences at Little Nell, a timeshare lodge project which is the preferred development scenario for the properties. Aspen Land Fund is in the process of finalizing the recordation documents for the Residences and expects to submit them to the City for review and recordation early next year. As the review of the Residences documents will undoubt- edly take several weeks to complete, Aspen Land Fund respectfully requests that the recordation deadline for the Tippler Townhome Condominiums project be further extended. The previously approved residential project is vested until June 23, 2006, 230 East Hopkins Ave, . Aspen, Colorado 81611 ' 970/925-6958 .

Please note that the subdivisionlPUD agreement for the Residences at Little Nell will abandon the prior Tippler Townhome Condominiums approval. To accommodate the recordation process for the Residences at Little Nell, Aspen Land Fund requests that the recordation deadline for the Tippler Townhome Condo- miniums project be extended for an additional 180 days. The revised deadline, therefore, would be June 20, 2005. Should you have any questions, or if I can be of any further assistance, please do not hesitate to call.

',.;J) NOTICE OF DECISION TO: Julie Ann Woods, City of Aspen Community Development Director FROM: Scott Woodford, City Planner RE: EXTENSION REQUEST FOR RECORDATION OF SUBDIVISION DOCUMENTS REQUEST - TIpPLER TOWNHOMESITIPPLE LODGE DATE: November 24, 2003 SUMMARY: VaIh'1 Associates, LLC, on behalf of the applicant Aspen Land Fund, LLC, requests a one-year extension of the deadline for filing the final subdivision documents for the Tipple LodgelTippler Townhomes, from December 20, 2003 until December 20, 2004. The reason for the extension request is to allow the applicant sufficient time with which to process a Final PUD application for an alternative project on the site, known as the Residences at Little Nell. BACKGROUND: The Tipple Lodge was approved by City Council on June 23, 2003 (Ordinance No. 23, Series of 2003) with a condition that the final subdivision documents (the plat and the subdivision agreement) be recorded with the Pitkin County Clerk and Recorder within 180 days, or by December 20, 2003. While the applicant has this approval in place, they simultaneously processed and received approval by the City Council for a Conceptual PUD for another project on a portion of tl1e same site. The project - the Residences at Little Nell - is the applicant's preferred project for the site and they plan to soon submit for a Final PUD approval in order to construct that project. The review process for the final PUD will likely extend well beyond the December 20, 2003 deadline to record the subdivision documents for the Tippler Lodge. If that project is not approved the applicant would like to construct the Tipple LodgelTippler Townhomes approval, thus, they need to remain in compliance with all of the requirements of that approval. According to the applicant recording the final subdivision documents for the Tipple Lodge project prior to lmowing the outcome of the final PUD for the Residences at Little Nell would be premature and not in the community's interest and that is why they are requesting the one-year extension. STAFFCOM!\1ENTS: According to Section 26.480.070(E) of the Land Use Code, the Communit)' Development Director may extend the recordation deadline if the request is within the vesting timeline and if there is a -community interest for providing such an extension. The Conununity Development Director may forward the extension request to the Planning and Zoning Commission. STAFF FINDINGS: The staff finds that the request for extension for recording the final subdivision documents for one year rs appropriate and that the Community Development Director may sign off on the I " -,--' "--..... ----. , 4 request. The primary reason for the granting the extension is so that the applicant will have time to process the Final PUD application for the Residences at Little Nell. Staff believes that a legitimate community interest is served here, in that we feel the Residences is a better project for the community. The mixed use, timeshare project will serve to revitalize the area in which its located and attract additional visitors to the community, whereas the Tipple LodgelTippler To",womes proposes a low density to",wome project that will add very little to the community in terins of increasing the economic activity and vitality. COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR APPROVAL: I hereby extend tlle recordation deadline for the Tipple Lodge/Tippler Townhomes project for one-year, which will now expire on December 20,2004, finding that the request has been made within the vesting timeline and there is a community interest for providing such an extension. ~C-C~ Julie .'
