STAFF COMMENTS: Conditional Use Review - Pursuant to Section 7-304 the criteria for a conditional use review are as follows: A. 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; and RESPONSE: The proposed accessory dwelling unit will be approximately 700 square feet with a 600 square foot basement and 80 square foot deck. The unit will comply with the Housing Guidelines and the requirements of Ordinance 1. The unit will be deed restricted as a resident occupied unit for residents of Pitkin County. B. 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; and RESPONSE: Duplexes are an allowed use within the R-15 zone district. The accessory dwelling unit is attached to the north side of the duplex and should not be of great visual impact as the three units will step down the hill. C. 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; and RESPONSE: The proposed project will be below the height limits and reflects the overall character of the surrounding residential area. Site circulation has been discussed with the Engineering Department and one entrance from Cemetery Lane with a turn -around area is proposed. The entrance is located near the top of the hill in order to enhance visibility of uphill traffic on Cemetery Lane. An enclosed trash enclosure with an area for the trash truck to maneuver is also provided. Ten parking spaces are provided on - site (includes 2 two -car garages) for the eight bedrooms proposed for all three units. D. There are adequate public facilities and services to serve the conditional use including but not limited to roads, potable water, sewer, solid waste, parks, police, fire protec- tion, emergency medical services, hospital and medical services, drainage systems, and schools; and 2 RESPONSE: There is an entrance drive and on -site parking as described above. The water, sewer and all utilities a:-.e in place on the existing units. The applicants representative confirmed with the water and sanitation district that the capacity exists to service the three units. Either roof retention and/or dry wells will be provided to facilitate storm runoff and disposal of water in excess of the historic drainage rate. A twelve foot minimum clearance is required from the Holy .Cross power line. The applicant will comply with that requirement. E. The applicant commits to supply affordable housing to meet the incremental need for increased employees generated by the conditional use; and RESPONSE: The proposal includes a two bedroom, two bath affordable unit for employees of Pitkin County. An increase in employees is not expected by the provision of an accessory dwelling unit. F. 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 chapter. RESPONSE: The conditional use meets the requirements of the Aspen Area Comprehensive Plan and other requirements of this chapter. The accessory dwelling unit is utilizing the floor area bonus as provided in Ordinance 1 which states that, for above grade units, 500 or 250 square feet of the size of the accessory dwelling unit is excluded from floor area calculations. Thus 250 square feet of the accessory dwelling unit is not calculated in the overall floor area for the entire development.

Staff recommends approval of the outdoor seating. APPLICANT: Legends of Aspen represented by Craig Glendenning LOCATION: 325 Main Street, in the Elli's Building, Aspen ZONING: CC - Commerical Core APPLICANT'S REQUEST: To place 22 seats in required open space in front of the establishment, Legends of Aspen. REFERRAL COMMENTS: Engineering The Engineering Department has reviewed the application and inspected the site and offers the following comments: 1. The applicant shall consult City Engineering for design considerations of development within public rights -of -way and shall obtain permits for any work or development within public rights - of -way from City Streets Department. 2. The outdoor dining area will increase the restaurant's capacity by 22 persons. This should have a minimal effect of the building's utility usage and trash generation. The extra capacity will probably create more demand for parking in that vicinity. 3. The application did not provide much information on the supports for the portable fence. The applicant should provide some kind of assurance that the supports are designed to handle additional loads other than the fence itself, i.e. bikes or people leaning against it, the swing of the gates, etc.. It would be extremely hazardous having a wobbly fence. CCLC - The CCLC has reviewed this application and recommends approval with the condition that the applicant adhere to State Liquor Laws and establish a controlled area. The CCLC recommends the format used on the Mall for outdoor seating areas. Historic Preservation Committee - Because the proposal is in the Historic Main Street District the HPC has reviewed the application and granted minor Development approval for the outdoor seating and fence proposal with the condition that the fence be redesigned slightly to eliminate the saw -tooth picket top; height shall not exceed 42". The fence is seasonal/temporary, and is to be taken down in the winter. STAFF COMMENTS: Pursuant to Section 3-301, required open space may be used for commerical restaurant use if the commission determines that such use is compatible with or enhances the purposes of these open space requirements and that adequate pedestrian and emergency vehicle access will be maintained. RESPONSE: The applicant proposes to place 22 seats in the courtyard -like area in front of the business. As required by liquor laws, a fences must be provided separating the establishment from the general right-of-way circulation. Staff was originally concerned that seating located along the side of the building would block pedestrian access from Main street to the alley. Therefore the applicant has not requested seats to that area. However, subsequent to a site visit staff feels that seats could be placed on the side of the building without interfering with pedestrian circulation. Currently the front of the building, although designed with a courtyard along Main Street is very underutilized. The surrounding parcels either provide an active front courtyard eg. the Miners Building or have established the front yard with a fence e.g. the two cottages next to the Miner's Building. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of 22 seats in the courtyard of Legends of Aspen with the following conditions: 1. The applicant shall consult City Engineering for design considerations of development within public rights -of -way and shall obtain permits for any work or development within public rights - of -way from City Streets Department. 2. Prior to the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy, the applicant shall provide assurance to the Building Department that the supports are designed to handle additional loads other than the fence itself, i.e. bikes or people leaning against it, the swing of the gates, etc.. 3. The applicant shall establish seating for only 22 seats out- side and shall provide a controlled area by using a fence type as approved by the HPC. 4. The fence shall be redesigned slightly to eliminate the saw - tooth picket top; height shall not exceed 42". The fence is seasonal/temporary, and is to be taken down in the winter. 2
