Commenter's Reason: The code requires that glazing that is adjacent
to a door and within 24 inches of the door and 60 inches of the floor be
safety glazed (R308.4, #6). Exception 4 then goes on to exempt glazing
adjacent to the door if the door opens to a closet that is less than 3 feet
in depth. There is absolutely no technical justification to exclude safety
glazing if the closet is 36 inches deep and require it if the closet is 37
inches deep. Either the glazing is a hazard or it is not. This proposal
concludes it is not.
The second portion of this code change addresses an issue that has
received much comment on the ICC web site. The following illustration
shows what the issue is. A window is located in a wall adjacent a tub or
shower enclosure. The tub or shower enclosure may have a swinging
door, a sliding door, or a shower curtain. None of these may be in place
at the time of the final inspection. The question is "Does a sliding or
swinging shower or bath door constitute a door as contemplated by IRC
Section R308.4, #67" The IRC Committee stated in its published reason
for denying this proposal that this sliding or swinging door is intended to
trigger the rule. What makes this position questionable is that if a shower
curtain is installed, no hazard exists. If a sliding door is installed, all of a
sudden the window becomes a hazard. This makes no sense. The code
needs to be clarified to address this issue.

Proposed Change as Submitted:
Proponent: Rick Davidson, City of Hopkins, MN
Revise as follows:
R308.4 (Supp) Hazardous locations. The following shall
be considered specific hazardous locations for the
purposes of glazing:
1. Glazing in swinging doors except jalousies.
2. Glazing in fixed and sliding panels of sliding door
assemblies and panels in sliding and bifold closet
door assemblies.
3. Glazing in storm doors.
4. Glazing in all unframed swinging doors.
5. Glazing in doors and enclosures for hot tubs,
whirlpools, saunas, steam rooms, bathtubs and
showers. Glarimg am amy part of a building wall

enclosing these corn pa here the bottom
exposed edge of the glazing is less than 60 inches
(1524 mm) measured vertically above any standing
orwa+krrTsurface.
6. through 11. (No change to current text)
Reason: The current language seems to imply that glazing in a window
that may be several feet from the water basin must be safety glazed
because it reads: "glazing in any part of a wall enclosing...". t has been
argued that one might slip on the floor outside the tub and fall into a
window and that the current code requirement provides for virtually any
window in a bathroom to be safety glazed. This proposal seeks to clarify
that only doors and glazing immediately adjacent the basin or tub are
regulated. Following are excerpts from the ICC Bulletin Board to illustrate
the confusion caused by this section:
construction arbitrator
posted 04-13-2004 08:50 AM
Agreed, but if the tub has a sliding glass (or swinging) door then the 24"
rule comes into play, and any windows within 24" of the door must be
safety glazed just like a sliding or swinging door going out of a house.
construction arbitrator
posted 04-13-2004 11:17 AM
The intent of the code is to prevent people from becoming injured by
broken glass, there is much more chance of injury from a person exiting
a shower than a regular door. If there is just a shower curtain the safety
glass is not required, but once you install a "door" the code provision is
triggered.

RE: 270 N. Spring Street Insubstantial Amendment of an ADU Development

ZONING:

IZEVIEw PROCCI)ITRE:
Insubstantial amendments to an ADU development order may be approved, approved with
conditions, or denied by the Community Development Director, pursuant to Section
26.520.090(.A), .Amendment of an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADZI) or Carriage House
Development Order: Insubstantial Amendment.
REQUEST:
Eugene and Linda Pfeifer ("Applicants' have applied for an insubstantial amendment to
an approved ADU development order to buy -down the mandatory occupancy deed
restriction that currently governs the existing ADU at 270 N. Spring Street to a standard,
volmitary occupancy . ADU deed restriction pursuant to Land Use Code Section
26.520.090(A)(2).
BACKGROUND:
A mandatory occupancy ADU was approved on the subject site pursuant to Planning and
Zoning Commission Resolution No. 25, Series of 1998 (attached as Exhibit "C" ), which
served as affordable housing mitigation for the development of a new single-family
residence. Several years ago, the City amended the ADU program and removed the
possibility of constructing new mandatory occupancy ADUs. Subsequently, another land use
code amendment was approved by City Council allowing property owners with mandatory
occupancy ADL: s to buy them down to a voluntary occupancy ADU deed restriction.
The difference between a voluntary occupancy ADU deed restriction and a mandatory
occupancy deed resuiction is that the voluntary occupancy deed restriction does not require
the unit to be occupied where as a mandatory occupancy deed restriction required that the
unit be occupied year-round. A mathematical formula was enacted in Land Use Code

Section 26.520.090(2)(e)(2) to calculate the amount of money necessary to buy an ADU out
of a mandatory occupancy deed restriction to a voluntary occupancy ADU deed restriction -
STAFF COMMENTS:
in reviewing the request to buy -down the mandatory occupancy ADU to a voluntary
occupancy ADU deed restriction, Staff believes that the review criteria for an insubstantial
amendment are satisfied as long as the Applicants pay llie required buy -down fee of
S23,315.82. This buy-do%%,n fee is calculated as follows:
S Payment-- (square footage of bonus floor area) multiplied by (assessed value of parcel plus
improvements/floor area of residence (excluding bonus FAR))
$23,315.82= 268 square feet multiplied by ($384,450/4,419 square feet)
Staff has proposed a condition of approval requiring the Applicants to pay the buy -down fee
as calculated above prior to recording a new deed restriction on the ADU that does not
require mandatory occupancy. Staff has further included a condition of approval requiring
the Applicants to record a new deed restriction at the Pitkin County Clerk and Recorder's
Office.
STAFF RF.C:OMMENDATION:
Staff finds that the review criteria for granting an insubstantial amendment to the approved
ADU development order to be satisfied by the application and recommends that the
Community Development Director approve the proposed amendment to buy -down the
existing mandatory occupancy ADU at 270 N. Spring Street to a voluntary occupancy ADU
deed restriction, with the conditions contained herein.
APPROVAL:
I hereby approve this insubstantial amendment to the approved ADU development order
at 270 N. Spring Street to allow for the Applicants to huy-down the existing mandatory
occupancy deed restriction to a standard, voluntary occupancy ADU deed restriction, v6th
the following conditions:
1. The Applicants shall pay a buy -down fee of S23,315.82. This money shall be

future affordable housing by the City of Aspen.
2. The Applicants shall prepare a standard, voluntary occupancy deed restriction
in consultation with the Aspen/Pntkm County Housing Authority and ltave the
new deed restriction recorded at the Pitkin County Clerk and Recorder's

Exhibit A
Review Criteria and Staff Findings
insubstantial Amendment to in Approved ADU Development Order.
An amendment application that propnRes to remove a Mandatory Occupancy ADU deed
restriction placed on the property prior to adoption of Ordinance No_ 46, Series of 2001,
may be approved if all of the following criteria are met:
a. The mandatory occupancy deed restriction shall have been recorded on the
property for a minimum of three (3) years prior to the date of application for it.s
removal_ The applicant shall demonstrate a change in circumstances supporting
the request to remove the restriction.
Staff Finding:
The mandatory occupancy deed restriction at 270 N. Spring Street has been in place
since 1998. The Applicants have indicated that they have had trouble renting the unit
to people meeting the employee housing guideline requirements given the small size
and location of the unit. The Aspen/Pitkin County Housing Authority has concurred
that it has been difficult to enforce that these mandatory occupancy ADUs be rented
to qualified employees. Staff finds this criterion to be met.
b. The Mandatory Occupancy deed restriction on the .ADU is replaced with the
minimum ADU deed restriction allowing voluntary occupancy; and,
Staff FinjiRgL
Staff has proposed a condition of approval requiring that the minimum ADU deed
restriction allowing voluntary occupancy be recorded and placed on the unit. Staff
finds this criterion to be met.
c_ The applicant has obtained approval either:
►_ From the City of Aspen to develop a deed restricted affordable housing unit
on a site that is not otherwise required to contain such a unit or from the
Aspen/Pitkin County Housing Authority to convert an existing free-market
unit and deed restrict the unit to affordable housing .status. The replacement
affordable housing unit shall be within the Aspen Infill Area, shall be of a
comparuble size and type as the ADU, shall be accepted by the Aspen/Pitkin
County Mousing Authority, and shall be deed restricted as a Category 3, or
lower, sales unit according to the Aspen/Pitkin County Housing Guidelines, as
amended; or,
?. From the Aspen/Pitldn County Housing Authority to pay an affordable
housing conversion fee, calculated according to the following formula:
assessed value of parcel
square jootage plus improvements
of bonus.loor X
,S payment = area floor area of residence
(excluding bones FAR)

Staff Findin
The Applicants have proposed to pay the fee for buying down the unit. As was
calculated in the Staff Memorandum, the Applicant will be required to pay
$23,315.82 to buy the unit down to a voluntary deed restriction. This money shall be
used by the City of Aspen to develop future affordable housing projects. Staff finds
this criterion to be met.
d. The structure granted the bonus Floor Area shall be considered a legally created
Nonconforming Structure and subject to the provisions of Section 26.312.
Staff Finding
According to the zoning checklist that was filled out when the residence and ADU
were constructed, when the FAR exemption for a mandatory occupancy unit was
removed from the land use code, the structure became legally non -conforming with
regards to allowable FAR.

A(yreement for Payment of City of Aspen Development Application Fees
CITY OF ASPEN (hereinafter CITY) and
(hereinafter APPLICANT) AGREE AS FOLLOWS:
as s; Ian�iia ioq fo��IAa
(hereinafter, THE PROJECT).
2. APPLICANT understands and agrees that City of Aspen Ordinance No. 57 (Series of
2000) establishes a fee structure for Land Use applications and the payment of all processing fees is a
condition precedent to a determination of application completeness.
3. APPLICANT and CITY agree that because of the size, nature or scope of the proposed
project, it is not possible at this time to ascertain the full extent of the costs involved in processing the
application. APPLICANT and CITY further agree that it is in the interest of the parties that APPLICANT
make payment of an initial deposit and to thereafter permit additional costs to be billed to APPLICANT on
a monthly basis. APPLICANT agrees additional costs may accrue following their hearings and/or
approvals. APPLICANT agrees he will be benefited by retaining greater cash liquidity and will make
additional payments upon notification by the CITY when they are necessary as costs are incurred. CITY
agrees it will be benefited through the greater certainty of recovering its full costs to process
APPLICANT'S application.
4. CITY and APPLICANT further agree that it is impracticable for CITY staff to complete
processing or present sufficient information to the Planning Commission and/or City Council to enable the
Planning Commission and/or City Council to make legally required findings for project consideration,
unless current billings are paid in full prior to decision.
5. Therefore, APPLICANT agrees that in consideration of the CITY's waiver of its right to
collect full fees prior to a e r nation of applica ion completeness, APPLICANT shall pay an initial
deposit in the amount of $ I which is for hours of Community Development staff
time, and if actual recorded costs exceed the initial deposit, APPLICANT shall pay additional monthly
billings to CITY to reimburse the CITY for the processing of the application mentioned above, including
post approval review at a rate of $220.00 per planner hour over the initial deposit. Such periodic payments
shall be made within 30 days of the billing date. APPLICANT further agrees that failure to pay such
accrued costs shall be grounds for suspension of processing, and in no case will building permits be issued
until all costs associated with case processing have been paid.

Hi Herb,
Please find attached the approve Pfeifer ADU conversion decision notice. Please have the Pfeifers
sign the decision notice and return it so that we have an executed copy for our files. They will need to

Re: Pfeifer Application to Convert an EDU Deed Restriction to an ADU Deed
Restriction — 270 N. Spring St., Aspen, CO (the "Property").
Dear James:
This office represents Gene and Linda Pfeifer, the owners of the Property described
above. Recently the Pfeifer's submitted an application to the Community Development Office
seeking approval to convert an EDU restriction on the Property to a voluntary ADU under
section 26.520.090. The Pfeifer's paid the filing fee and expected the application to be
processed. The Pfeifer's also provided you with their tax assessment information and were told
that under the Code's formula for the conversion, which expressly states that it is based on the
Assessed Value of the Property, the amount they would have to pay was $22,927.60. Shortly
after that, they were told that the Director of Community Development said that the Code's
formula should use the Actual Value of the Property, not its Assessed Value. By using Actual
Value, the amount payable would be $288,025.68. Clearly, this is a substantial increase in the
amount that should be payable using the Code's formula.
We disagree with the Director's application of the Code. We question whether this is
even an issue that can be interpreted by the Director since the Code's language is clear and
unambiguous. The Code not only refers to the Assessed Value in the formula, but there is also an
interpretative note placed in the Code directly below the formula that re -iterates that the
Assessed Value is to be used. This note states:
"The assessed value of the lot plus improvements shall be that value assigned to the lot
and improvements in the most current assessment made by the Pitkin County Assessor."
Mr. and Mrs. Pfeifer recently received their 2005 tax bill which contains an updated
Assessor's valuation of the Assessed Value which has increased from $378,040 to $384,450.
Under the formula, the payment for the conversion is calculated as follows: 268 (bonus floor
area) x 384,450 (assessed valuation)/ 4419(floor area excluding bonus floor area) = $23,315.82.

A check payable to the Aspen/Pitkin County Housing Authority in that amount is attached with
this letter. If the check should be payable to a different entity, please let me know immediately
and we will provide it.
The Code is clear and we request that you process the application using the components
of the formula as stated in the adopted Code.
Notwithstanding our request for processing this application under the Code's Section
26.520.090, we do not waive our right to challenge the EDU deed restriction and its
enforceability based upon applicable state and federal law.
Thank you for your assistance in handling this matter. I look forward to hearing from you
shortly.
Very truly yours,
KLEIN, COTE & EDWARDS, LLC
