He attended the Council meeting and during Citizens Comments he described a recent survey of the property which indicated that a public trail strayed off of the platted trail easement onto the Villas property. He stated that the area chosen by the Villas for a required parking space was partially on the City right-of-way of W. Bleeker. His proposal was that Council consider a "trade" of encroachments: one to the Villas for the area in the public right-of-way needed for a parking space, and the other to the City for the area of the trail encroachment. Encroachment licenses are the responsibility of the Engineering Department. Mr. Cohen and the Villas will be working on the proposal with the Engineering staff. When a determination has been made whether the encroachment can be allowed for the necessary parking space, Planning staff will make a final decision on the appropriate amendment process for the Villas. Until such a determination is made, this item will continue to be tabled before the P&Z. 13 MEMORANDUM TO: Planning and Zoning Commission FROM: Kim Johnson, Planning DATE: August 20, 1991 RE: Krebs Conditional Use for Accessory Dwelling Unit - Continue Table to September 3, 1991 On August 6, 1991 the public hearing for this item was opened. A neighboring property owner, Mr. Irving Harris, declared that he had not been properly notified of the hearing. The Commission and staff agreed to table the item until the notice problem could be resolved. Project representative Fred Alderfer has worked with the County Assessor's staff and is correcting the list of adjacent property owners. As the 10 day mailing requirement could not be met for the August 20 meeting, staff requests continuing the public hearing until September 3, 1991. Prior to continuing the item on September 3rd, Mr. Alderfer will provide an affidavit certifying that the revised notice was mailed in accordance with the code requirements. MEMORANDUM TO: Aspen Planning and zoning Commission FROM: Leslie Lamont, Planning RE: Blocker Conditional Use Review DATE: August 20, 1991 ----------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: The applicant proposes to demolish a single family home and reconstruct a single family home with an attached, 322 square foot (net liveable), accessory dwelling unit. Staff recommends approval of conditional use for an accessory dwelling unit. APPLICANT: Laura Blocker as represented by Sunny Vann LOCATION: 1270 Mountain View Drive -- Lot 8 Block 1, West Meadow Subdivision, Aspen ZONING: R-15 APPLICANT'S REQUEST: To provide an attached studio accessory dwelling unit on a partial second level pursuant to Ordinance 1 requirements. REFERRAL COMMENTS: Having reviewed the application and having made a site inspection, the engineering department has the following comments: 1. The application did not include information regarding how many bedrooms the proposed development will contain. Per zone district R-15 requirements, one space per bedroom must be provided. The parking spaces should be shown on the site plan. 2. The requirements in section 19-101 do not allow for two curb cuts. It would be preferable that the curb cut shall be either ten (10) feet in width for a single driveway or eighteen (18) feet in width for a double driveway. 3. The applicant shall consult city engineering for design considerations of development within public rights -of -way and shall obtain permits for any work development within public rights -of - way from city streets department. A five foot wide pedestrian usable space must be allowed between the property line and the edge of pavement. 4. The applicant shall agree to join any future improvement districts which may be formed for the purpose of constructing improvements in the public right-of-way. 5. It is preferable that no runoff from the building, driveways f�� or parking areas go onto any public right-of-way. The applicant must demonstrate that the proposed conditional use maintains or decreases the historic runoff for this property. 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 322 square feet on the second level of the redeveloped single home. 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. Provision of an accessory dwelling unit is consistent with the City's policy to encourage voluntary development of affordable housing. H. 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: The accessory dwelling unit is attached to the proposed single-family residence and should not be of great visual impact. With the exception of the Messiah Lutheran Church, the surrounding neighborhood is entirely residential. 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 attached accessory dwelling unit will have no adverse effect upon surrounding properties. The proposed residence will continue to appear as a single-family structure. Parking for the unit can be provided on -site if necessary, and no significant impact is anticipated on the existing road system. 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: Two curb cuts are not allowed and redevelopment of the parcel should correct the non -conformity. Although parking is not required for a studio accessory dwelling unit, on -site parking for the primary residence should be identified on the plans. The water, sewer and all utilities are in place on -site. A fire hydrant is located immediately in front of the property. 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 studio accessory dwelling 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. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the conditional use for the attached accessory dwelling unit with the following conditions prior to the issuance of any building permits: 1. the applicant shall, upon approval of the deed restriction by the Housing Authority, record the deed restriction with the Pitkin County Clerk, Recorders Office and Planning Department. The deed restriction shall state that the accessory unit meets the housing guidelines for such units, meets the definition of Resident Occupied Unit, and if rented, shall be rented for periods of six months or longer. 2. all representations that are made in the application and those reviewed and approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission shall be complied with. 3. parking spaces for the primary residence shall be shown on the site plan. 4. redevelopment of the property shall provide one curb cut that is either ten (10) feet in width for a single driveway or eighteen (18) feet in width for a double driveway. 5.- the applicant shall consult city engineering for design considerations -of development within public rights -of -way and shall_ obtain permits for any work development within public rights -of - way from city streets department.
