Chris Bendon,
Bendon Adams
LOCATION:
701 S. Monarch St.
CURRENT ZONING:
Lodge (L) Zone District
SUMMARY:
The Applicant is proposing a new subgrade
parking garage under the existing parking lot,
accessed with a car lift in addition to other
site improvements. The Applicant requests a
setback variance for a portion of the car lift,
replacement of existing parking lot walls and
subgrade garage walls.

towards Lift One A.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff does not support the setback Variance
request and therefore recommends denial of
the project.

REQUEST OF THE BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT: The Applicant is requesting the
following approvals from the Board of Adjustment:
· Variance (Chapter 26.314) to grant a setback variance for improvements within the
front and side yard setbacks. (The Board of Adjustment is the final review authority.)
EXISTING CONDITIONS:
701 S. Monarch St./Caribou Condos is a two building, six (6) unit multi-family residential
project, circa 1973, located in the Lodge (L) Zone District at the base of Aspen Mountain and
the location of the property is shown in Figure 2. The lot measures 12,144 sq. ft. gross area
and after slopes in excess of 20% grade are deducted, the property has 11,304 sq. ft. of net lot
area. The property is allowed 11,469 sq. ft. of floor area, and at 11,469 sq. ft., is over the
allowed floor area by 165 sq. ft.
The required setbacks for the property are five feet on the front, rear and side yards. There
are stone and concrete walls along the parking lot which project into both the front and side
yard setbacks. Additionally, a trash enclosure projects into the side yard setback. These
projections are depicted in the Staff markup of the site plan shown in Figure 3 and photos of
these elements are in Figures 4 and 5. The site has six (6) on-site parking spaces, as shown in
Figures 6-9, below.

PROPOSAL:
The Applicant proposes to construct a stand-alone, subgrade parking garage below the existing at-grade
parking area. The footprint of the parking garage would extend to the property line. The Applicant
proposes replacing the existing walls surrounding the parking area and relocating the existing trash
enclosure. The new surface parking area will be snow melted and the existing retaining walls on the site
will be replaced. These retaining walls will be no more than 42” as measured from the at-grade parking
area. The proposed project would provide a total of eight (8) parking spaces for the six units with two
(2) surface parking spaces and six (6) subgrade parking spaces. The subgrade garage will be accessed
by a car lift and the lift does not count as, nor will it be used as, a parking space. Egress to the parking
garage is provided by an enclosed stair case. Egress to the enclosure at grade is to the south. The
enclosure is proposed to be tucked under existing loggia. Renderings of the improvements are shown in
Figures 10 and 11 and plans are shown in Figures 12 and 13. The minimum mobility requirement for
Multi-Family Residential within the Aspen Infill area is one Parking Unit per Dwelling Unit. The
maximum number of Parking Units for this use is 1.25 Parking Units per Dwelling Unit. Caribou
Condos has six (6) Dwelling Units; therefore, the minimum requirement is six (6) Parking Units and the
maximum allowed is eight (8) Parking Units. As demonstrated in Figures 6-9, Caribou Condos currently
meet the minimum mobility requirement of six (6) on-site parking units.
The Applicant requests this variance because on-site snow storage often results in a parking
deficit in the winter months. Additionally, the Applicant has explored alternatives to pursuing
the variance, including constructing the garage under the existing building. Consultations
with engineers have concluded that option is not feasible due to several issues, including
potentially damaging the building itself.
Figure 10. Rendering of the Proposed Project
The garage is shown in the foreground to the
right.
Figure 11. Rendering of the Proposed Project The trash
enclosure will be an open enclosure with an electrified
fence to deter wildlife. This type of enclosure is found to be
more effective than traditional wildlife enclosures and is
supported by Environmental Health.

IEWS:
SETBACK VARIANCE: The criteria for receiving a variance (Exhibit A) are strict. A property
owner must demonstrate that reasonable use of the property has been withheld by the City and
can only be achieved by the City providing a variance. In situations where all, or practically
all, reasonable use of a property is made impossible by development regulations, the City has
the ability to grant a variance to avoid a “regulatory taking”. City staff believes this property
has reasonable use and has demonstrated that the site has adequate parking under today’s
code, as shown in Figures 6-9.
The property owner must demonstrate that his rights, as compared with owners of similar
properties, have been deprived. In considering this criterion, the Board of Adjustment must
consider unique conditions inherent to the property but which are not the result of the
Applicant’s actions.
Staff Comment
There is not a parking deficit at the subject property. Snow is not a unique issue in Aspen, and
each property is required to provide for sufficient on-site snow storage. Snow often requires
removal during periods of heavy snow. While Staff appreciates that the Applicant would like
to provide more parking for residents and guests, Staff does not believe this application meets
the City’s strict standards for a variance. The request for the variance is not a result of a
hardship as the property meets the minimum parking requirement of the Land Use Code.
Inadequate snow storage is a self-created issue. Staff recommends denial of the variance.

February 1, 2018 | Board of Adjustment Memo
Page 7 of 7
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff is not supportive of granting of a setback variance for an above grade car elevator and
the subgrade parking garage. The criteria require that reasonable use of the parcel be
achieved by granting of a variance or that a unique, site-specific condition warrants a
variance. The subject property has sufficient parking for the multi-family development. Snow
removal and storage is not a unique issue to this property. As the project does not meet the
criteria, Staff is recommending denial of the request.
PROPOSED MOTION:
All resolutions tend to be written to approve a request. With regards to this request, Staff
does not support the request because it does not meet the review criteria and therefore
recommends denial of the request. Two motions are proposed. The first approves the
resolution while the second denies the resolution.
Motion 1.
“I move to approve Resolution ___, Series 2018, granting approval for a Setback Variance as
depicted in Exhibit A to the Resolution.
If the Board agrees that the criteria are not met for a Variance, the following motion may be
used:
Motion 2.
“I move to deny Resolution ___, Series 2018, granting approval for a Setback Variance as
depicted in Exhibit A to the Resolution.

Exhibit A –Variance Review Staff Findings
Chapter 26.314, Variance
A. In order to authorize a variance from the dimensional requirements of Title 26, the
appropriate decision-making body shall make a finding that the following three (3)
circumstances exist:
1. The grant of variance will be generally consistent with the purposes, goals,
objectives and policies of this Title and the Municipal Code; and
Staff Findings: The purpose of the City’s land use code is very general. It does,
however, speak to the legitimate rights and reasonable expectations of property owners.
Staff believes a reasonable expectation is that zoning limitations are observed and
enforced as uniformly as practical. Staff finds the criteria not met.
2. The grant of variance is the minimum variance that will make possible the
reasonable use of the parcel, building or structure; and
Staff Findings: Staff believes reasonable use of the property already exists and that no
variance is necessary to achieve reasonable use. The property has six condo units and
six parking spaces. The current available on-site parking meets the requirements of this
Title. Challenges related to snow storage and removal are not unique to the property,
and a more aggressive snow removal schedule could be used to address heavy snow
fall and snow storage challenges during periods of heavy snow. Staff finds the criteria
not met.
3. Literal interpretation and enforcement of the terms and provisions of this Title
would deprive the applicant of rights commonly enjoyed by other parcels in the
same zone district and would cause the applicant unnecessary hardship, as
distinguished from mere inconvenience. In determining whether an applicant's
rights would be deprived, the Board shall consider whether either of the following
conditions apply:
a. There are special conditions and circumstances which are unique to the parcel,
building or structure, which are not applicable to other parcels, structures or
buildings in the same zone district and which do not result from the actions of
the applicant; or
Staff Findings: The Applicant seeks a variance to accommodate a subgrade parking
garage. The property has six parking spaces and six units, which meets the
requirements of this Title for off-street parking. Furthermore, the issue of snow
storage and removal is not unique to this parcel. Staff finds the criteria not met.
b. Granting the variance will not confer upon the applicant any special privilege
denied the terms of this Title and the Municipal Code to other parcels, buildings
or structures, in the same zone district.
Page 2 of 2
Staff Findings: Receipt of a setback variance would grant a special privilege not
available to other properties. Staff finds the criteria not met.

Ms. Jessica Garrow, AICP
Community Development Director
City of Aspen
130 So. Galena St.
Aspen, CO 81611
RE: Caribou Condominiums – 701 So. Monarch St.
Amended Request for Setback Variances
Ms. Garrow:
Please accept this amendment to our application to construct a subgrade garage beneath
the property located at 701 South Monarch Street, aka Caribou Condominiums. The site is
12,144 sf gross lot area and is located in the Lodge Zone District. Slopes in excess of 20%
exist on the site and reduce the lot area to 11,304 sf, as shown on the survey.
The applicant, Caribou Condominiums Homeowners Association (“HOA”), requests
approval to add a subgrade parking garage beneath the current surface parking area to
provide adequate parking for the six units. While the Land Use Code (Section 26.515,
Parking) requires 6 onsite parking spaces this property is substantially underparked,
especially during the winter months when snow storage and removal logistics reduce the
parking to 5 or even as few as 4 spaces. This application proposes increasing the parking
to 8 spaces – 6 subgrade and 2 surface. This will accommodate owners and guests without
burdening on-street parking spaces, which are limited and in high demand.
The property is Residential Multi-family with 6 free-market residential units that each span
three floors. Surface parking is accessed off Monarch Street. There is no alley access for
this property. The property is over the allowable floor area by 165 sf. This application does
not propose to increase floor area.
The proposed subgrade garage requires relocation of the trash enclosure further back on
the property. The existing trash enclosure is 95 sf in size, and is required to be upgraded to
Caribou Condominiums
Page 2
100 sf in size to comply with Municipal Code requirements 1. The current trash area sits
within the side yard setback, and due to the location of the existing building, is proposed to
sit within the side yard setback in its proposed new location. The updated trash area is
proposed to no longer be enclosed with a roof, which reduces the amount that the property
is over the floor area (to about 70 sf over allowable floor area) and removes the current non-
conforming setback condition. The updated trash area will be uncovered, surrounded by a
wall with a maximum height of six feet, and a locking door. The applicant is working with
Environmental Health Department to possibly provide an electric wire atop the wall to deter
bears and other wildlife from entering the trash area.
The entire property is located within the
Wheeler Opera House View plane, which first
intersects the property at about 2’ above grade
on the northeast property corner and at about
1’ above grade on the northwest property
corner.
The property is located in the background
component of the Wheeler Opera House View
Plane. The proposed development qualifies
for an exemption from the view plane review.
The garage structure will be no more than 12
feet in height from finished grade and the
trash/recycle area will be enclosed with fencing
no more than 6 feet high.
This application requests two setback variances:
1. Front yard (east) setback variance allowing a 0’ setback for the below grade garage and
above grade retaining wall and parking space.
2. Side yard (north) setback variance allowing a 0’ setback for the below grade garage and
allowing a 0’ setback for the above grade car elevator and enclosure, above grade
retaining wall and parking spaces, and trash/recycle containers and fence/enclosure.
1 In previous discussions about this property, Liz Chapman indicated that a reduction from 120 sf to 100 sf
trash area was acceptable, as long as it is wildlife proof, and that Environmental Health was amenable to
granting a waiver through Special Review. An email confirming this position can be furnished upon request.
Caribou Condominiums
Page 3
Existing Conditions:
The property, 701 South Monarch Street, is
12,144 sf gross lot area and is located in the
Lodge Zone District. The current use is
Residential Multi-family including 6 free market
residential units that each span three floors
(Parcel IDs are 2635-131-25-800; and 2735-131-
25-001 thru -006.
Background:
According to the Pitkin County
Assessor, the building was completed
in 1973. A subdivision plat was
recorded in 1973 (Reception #
163256, Book 4, Page 404) that
referenced approval for 6 units, and
depicted 6 surface parking spaces on
the plat.
A condominium map was recorded
for Parcel ‘A’ in 1975 (Book 4, Page
379) creating 4 units that are each
three stories tall. A separate
condominium map was recorded for
Parcel ‘B’ in 1975 (Book 4, Page 454)
Caribou Condominiums
Page 4
creating 2 units and depicting the
pool area. The first amended
condominium map was recorded in
1999 (Book 51, Page 62) to show
some first level changes. The second
amended condominium map was
recorded in 2010 (Book 94, Page 53)
to reflect a transfer of common space
into Unit 6. A remodel that included an
exterior face-lift was completed in
2010.
Slopes in excess of 20% exist on the
site and reduce the lot area to 11,304
sf, as shown on the survey. The
property is over the allowable floor
area; however, the proposal does not
increase floor area. The individual
units appear to be over the allowed
1,500 sf net livable area maximum for
residential units in the Lodge Zone
District. The proposal does not
increase net livable area for the
residential units.
Surface parking is accessed off Monarch Street and provides 6 onsite parking spaces.
There is no alley access for this property. Parking during winter months is affected by
snow storage, as shown above.
Being close to “Shadow”
Mountain, the property
accumulates a significant
amount of snow. Snow is
stored for removal with
hauling typically occurring a
few days after each large
snow storm. Parking is
routinely reduced down to 5
or 4 spaces, less than one per
unit. Parking in the
surrounding area is very
limited and is in high demand.
South Monarch Street
provides public parking within
a short walking distance of
Lift 1A on Aspen Mountain.
Caribou Condominiums
Page 5
Proposed Project:
The HOA proposes adding parking to the property by excavating a subgrade garage
beneath the existing surface parking area. The subgrade garage will be accessed with a car
lift and is proposed to accommodate 8 parking spaces.
A total of 8 parking spaces is
proposed for this property. The
car lift will be located within an
elevator structure that matches
the existing architecture and
materials. The structure is
located 10 feet back from the
front-most façade of the building
to meet Residential Design
Standards. The above grade car
lift structure and the subgrade
garage are located within the side
yard setback (car lift), and front
yard and side yard setbacks
(subgrade garage). These
features require a setback
variance.
Caribou Condominiums
Page 6
The existing trash area (shown at right)
is proposed to be moved toward the
rear of the property. Because the
existing property is over the allowable
floor area and the size of the trash area
is required to be increased to meet
current Municipal Code requirements,
the trash area is not allowed to be
enclosed (trash enclosures count
toward floor area). The applicant
proposes a trash and recycle area that
is open to the sky, surrounded by walls
that are 6 feet in height with an electric
wire around the top to prevent wildlife
from entering.
Minor changes to the site plan, which result largely from removing the
surface parking area to excavate the garage and then reconstructing
the surface parking, include recladding the stone columns with steel,
new planter boxes and a new uncovered entry way. Exterior stairs are
required egress from the subgrade garage.

Response to Review Standards:
Section 26.314.040.A –
In order to authorize a variance from the dimensional requirements of Title 26, the
appropriate decision-making body shall make a finding that the following three (3)
circumstances exist:
1. The grant of variance will be generally consistent with the purposes, goals,
objectives and policies of this Title and the Municipal Code.
Response – The property comprises 6 free market multi-family residential units located
within the Lodge Zone District in a prime location on Aspen Mountain. The outstanding
location and proximity to town and to the ski hill mean that the owners
of the residential units frequently have guests either staying with them
or staying through short term rentals. The current condition of one
parking space per unit, or fewer during winter months, ends up placing
parking on the street and throughout the neighborhood. The current
parking situation does not satisfy the needs of the HOA. The HOA
wants to be proactive and responsible, and address their needs onsite
by providing adequate parking rather than continuing to have to use
city property to fulfill their parking needs.
Many of the condominium complexes in this neighborhood do not have
onsite parking or have inadequate onsite parking, which contributes to
congested parking on the street. The HOA proposes to alleviate some
of the on-street parking congestion by providing more parking on their property. This will
provide a better experience for users of the HOA and also for visitors and residents in
surrounding condominium and lodge buildings.
The proposal seeks to exceed the minimum parking requirement of 6
spaces by providing 8 onsite parking spaces. The 2012 AACP lists
reducing adverse impacts of the automobile as a Transportation
Policy:
“V.1 Develop a strategic parking plan that manages the
supply of parking and reduces the adverse impacts of the
automobile.”
The proposal to meet the needs of the project onsite and to remove
cars from the street is aligned with the 2012 AACP: removing cars
from the street manages the supply of parking and reduces adverse
visual impacts of on-street parking. Removing cars from the street
contributes to the walkability and pedestrian friendly environment of
the neighborhood through reducing conflict between pedestrians and
vehicles.
Caribou Condominiums
Page 8
2. The grant of variance is the
minimum variance that will make
possible the reasonable use of
the parcel, building or structure.
Response – Reasonable use of the
parcel includes reasonable access,
which is currently impossible for several
months of the year. Snow is stored in
piles and hauled off-site within a day or
two of large snow storms. Even then,
the parking is often reduced down to 5
or even as few as 4 spaces, less than
one per unit. Parking in the surrounding
area is very limited and is in high
demand.
South Monarch Street provides public
parking within a short walking distance
of Lift 1A on Aspen Mountain. This
situation forces residents to park on the
street, multiple blocks away or in a
different neighborhood altogether.
The practicality of everyday living
presents an unreasonable hardship.
Grocery shopping, for example, is
essentially impossible from January
through April. Guests have no practical
access to the property. ADA access is
severely compromised. Families staying
in these units face an extraordinary
ordeal just getting to their destination.
The applicant is proposing the absolute minimum
dimensions possible. For a parking garage to function,
certain minimum dimensions are needed. The design
proposed design represents the absolute minimum
dimensions to accommodate vehicle access, including
need for multiple-point turns within the garage.
Caribou Condominiums
Page 9
Conversely, non-variance alternatives are far worse. Multiple various ways to
accommodate parking without encroaching into the setbacks have been explored.
Several versions of a garage structure underneath the existing building were designed
and tested over the past four years. The applicant has designed and re-designed this
project a dozen times, at considerable expense.
Reviews with contractors indicate that developing a garage underneath the existing
building is completely non-sensible. Temporary structural systems to suspend the building
in its current physical position will be extraordinarily complex, inordinately expensive, and
require expertise not available in the local market. Construction would require
underpinning the entire condominium building and temporarily suspending it in-place
through excavation and resetting on a new foundation. Local contractors who have
reviewed this concept have said “I won’t build this, it’s too risky, you’ll need to find someone
else.”
The existing Caribou Condos building would also experience significant lateral shift
causing untold damage to mechanical systems, plumbing systems, and damage to interior
finishes and alignments. It’s likely that substantial repair work within each individual unit
would be necessary.
Underpinning and providing temporary
structural suspension would also add
significant amount of time to the construction
phase, creating unnecessary disruption in
the neighborhood and further adding to the
extreme costs.
The engineering complexity is astounding
and the projected costs are equally
astounding. The option of developing this
facility underneath the existing Caribou
Building is unreasonable.
The proposed plan avoids most of the
underpinning requirement and utilized space
below grade and out of view. Costs for this
approach are much more reasonable and the
expected construction process, timeline, and
costs are much more rational. The
proposed design for the garage entry and
trash/recycle area are show to the right.
The proposed design represents the
minimum variance possible to make
reasonable use of the property.
Caribou Condominiums

3. Literal interpretation and enforcement of the terms and provisions of this Title
would deprive the applicant of rights commonly enjoyed by other parcels in the
same zone district and would cause the applicant unnecessary hardship, as
distinguished from mere inconvenience. In determining whether an applicant's
rights would be deprived, the Board shall consider whether either of the following
conditions apply:
a) There are special conditions and circumstances which are unique to the
parcel, building or structure, which are not applicable to other parcels,
structures or buildings in the same zone district and which do not result
from the actions of the applicant.
b) Granting the variance will not confer upon the applicant any special
privilege denied by the terms of this Title and the Municipal Code to other
parcels, buildings or structures, in the same zone district.
Response – This parcel is affected by
multiple unique factors. It is a small parcel
with very limited surface parking area. The
surrounding steep slopes, resembling ski
terrain, make access to the property
difficult.
The 6 parking spaces are the absolute
maximum that can be currently arranged on
the site given needs for access and
trash/recycle logistics. The location
adjacent to Shadow Mountain results in
significant snow accumulation. Snow is
piled on-site and hauled regularly but the
parking is routinely reduced to 5 or even as
few as 4 spaces.
The property was developed prior to the City requiring 2 parking spaces be provided for
each residence. On-street parking is within walking distance to Lift 1A and is in high
demand as the neighborhood serves as day-skier parking. Guests access to the property
is essentially non-existent.
These unique conditions are not the fault of the applicant. The severe shortage of on-
street parking is a unique condition not affecting other multi-family properties in Aspen
where on-street parking provides legitimate service. Coupled with the steep slopes, limited
parcel size, required snow management logistics, and day-skier parking, the parking
situation for the HOA is significantly compromised.
Caribou Condominiums
Page 11
Achieving a reasonable parking ratio is not a special privilege. The neighborhood is
underparked and on-street parking is in high demand. During winter months, this property
is further impacted by snow storage needs and on-street parking is far less reliable.
Achieving a parking ratio of 1.25 parking spaces per unit is a reasonable and modest
request and is not a special privilege prohibited to other parcels in the same zone district.
Reducing parking congestion in this part of town will benefit everyone – the HOA’s owners,
guests, and visitors; occupants of adjacent properties; and day-skiers and other short-
term visitors. No one will be harmed by granting the requested variance, and no party’s
rights will be prejudiced or impaired.
The applicant has attempted to address all relevant provisions of the Code and to provide
sufficient information to enable a thorough evaluation of the application. Upon request,
BendonAdams will gladly provide such additional information as may be required in the
course of the review.

PRE-APPLICATION CONFERENCE SUMMARY
PLANNER: Hillary Seminick, 970-429-2741 DATE: 3.27.2015
PROJECT: 701 S. Monarch St. (Caribou Condominiums) HS UPDATED: 7.22.2016
REPRESENTATIVE: Bendon Adams 8.15.2017
REQUEST: Setback variance
DESCRIPTION: The applicant is interested in adding an underground garage below the existing parking area. An existing
trash and recycling area would need to be relocated to accommodate the improvement. The property is approximately
12,189 square feet and is located in the Lodge zoning district. Any new development is subject to the zoning requirements
of Section 26.710.190. Portions of the existing parking area and retaining wall are located within the front and side setbacks.
The maximum FAR for the lot is 1:1 and based on estimates from the Pitkin County Assessor’s data, the existing floor area
is close to or possibly over that limit. Portions of the property may have slopes greater than 20%, which can cause a
reduction in allowable floor area up to 25%. A professional site survey was provide to determine the areas with steep slopes
and potential reductions to establish the allowable FAR for the property. The existing FAR to be non-conforming. A structure
with non-conforming FAR may not be expanded in such a way that increases the non-conformity. There are six units, and
each unit is permitted a 250 square foot FAR exemption for a garage or carport. The existing development has not used
this exemption for any of the units. It is likely any additional FAR created by the proposal will not surpass the allowable
remaining exemption, however accurate FAR calculations will be required as part of the application to demonstrate this.
All off-street parking spaces shall meet the requirements of Section 26.515. The relocated trash enclosure will need to be
reviewed and approved by the Environmental Health Department.
The subgrade garage would be accessed by an above grade garage located on the existing parking area deck. The
proposed garage location is within the setback and Main Street View Plane. Additionally, the garage placement may not
meet Residential Design Standards 26.410.030.C.2.d (1), which requires all garages within the Infilll area to be setback 10’
or more from the front-most façade of the principal structure.
A public hearing was held on December 20, 2016 pursuant to the Land Use Code applicable at that time. The review was
for a new subgrade parking garage under the existing parking lot, accessed with a car lift in addition to other site
improvements. The Applicant requested a Mountain View Plane Review for the replacement walls surrounding the surface
parking, the new trash enclosure, all of the above grade portions of the car lift/garage and staircase enclosure, in addition
to a setback variance for a portion of the car lift, replacement of existing parking lot walls and subgrade garage walls. The
Applicant requested the public hearing be continued to a date uncertain.
Since the hearing, LUC Sec. 26.435.050 Mountain View Plane has been amended. The subject property is located within
the Background View Plane Component. Pursuant to the revised Code, if an Applicant can demonstrate all of the proposed
improvements meet 26.435.050.D, Exemptions; the project would be able to proceed directly to building permit review.
However, there are proposed improvements that encroach into the setback that require a review before the Board of
Adjustments for a Variance, pursuant to Chapter 26.314, Variances. The Applicant shall address the applicable review
criteria demonstrating the need for a Variance.

RE: 701 S. Monarch St. (Caribou Condos) Setback Variance Review (“Application”)
MEETING DATE: January 25, 2018
Dear Ms. Seminick:
My firm represents the Silver Shadow Condominium Association (“Silver Shadow”)
with regard to the above-referenced Application submitted by The Caribou Condominium
Association (“Caribou”).
Silver Shadow is directly adjacent to the Caribou building, downhill and to the north, at
751 S. Monarch St. The two properties abut, and in fact, Caribou’s Application shows the
removal of a wall, at least some portion of which is located on the Silver Shadow property.
Silver Shadow submits this letter in opposition to the Application. As we have discussed, please
place this letter into the record at the Board of Adjustment hearing on January 25, 2018.
Caribou proposes to construct a subgrade parking structure below the existing parking
area, with a car elevator. This parking structure would encroach into front and side yard setbacks
and extend to Caribou’s property line. Caribou’s proposal would require demolition and
replacement of the existing walls surrounding the parking area and relocating the existing trash
enclosure (“Project”). The existing trash enclosure is already located in the side yard setback,
with no known variance. Caribou’s Application does not propose to correct this non-conformity.
Instead, the Project would only relocate the trash enclosure within the setback and continue this
January 24, 2018
Page 2
non-conformity. The new car elevator would also sit in the side-yard setback and would reach to
the lot line.
The Board should note that the goal of the Project is not to achieve access or allow
reasonable use of the site. Caribou presently has sufficient parking and reasonable use, and the
owners have enjoyed both for more than 40 years. The goal of the Project is to provide the
owners at Caribou additional parking and indoor, covered parking spaces, especially for use in
winter. This luxury of additional spaces and a covered, heated garage comes at the expense of
imposing offsite impacts on neighboring owners.
In addition to the negative offsite impacts, the Application in fact meets none of the
mandatory criteria for a variance from the City of Aspen Land Use Code. City of Aspen
Planning Staff has come to this same conclusion as reflected in you Memorandum. For these
reasons and based on the record before it, the Board of Adjustment should deny Caribou’s
Application.
This Application requests the following setback variances:
1. Front yard (east) setback variance allowing: and (a) 0’ setback for the below grade
garage; and (b) 0’ setback for the above grade retaining wall; and (c) 0’ setback for the
parking space.
2. Side yard (north) setback variance allowing: (a) 0’ setback for the below grade garage;
and (b) a 0’ setback for the above grade car elevator; and (c) 0’ setback for the trash
enclosure; and (d) 0’ setback for the above grade retaining wall; and (e) 0’ setback for
the parking spaces; and (f) 0’ setback for the trash/recycle containers and
fence/enclosure.
Silver Shadow states the following as its objections to the Application and Project:
1. Staff’s Analysis Is Correct; The Application Meets None of the Criteria for a
Variance in the City of Aspen Land Use Code.
Staff’s analysis, as reflected in Exhibit A to the Staff Memo finds that the Application
meets none of the criteria for a variance from the dimensional requirements of Title 26 of
the City of Aspen Code. Exhibit A to the Staff Memo is attached to this letter as Exhibit A
and incorporated herein by this reference.
To grant a variance from the dimensional requirements of Title 26, the Board of
Adjustment must find that all the following three (3) conditions exist:
1. The grant of variance will be generally consistent with the purposes, goals, objectives
and policies of this Title and the Municipal Code; and
2. The grant of variance is the minimum variance that will make possible the reasonable
use of the parcel, building or structure; and
January 24, 2018
Page 3
3. Literal interpretation and enforcement of the terms and provisions of this Title would
deprive the applicant of rights commonly enjoyed by other parcels in the same zone district
and would cause the applicant unnecessary hardship, as distinguished from mere
inconvenience.
In determining whether an applicant's rights would be deprived, the Board must consider
whether either of the following conditions apply:
a. There are special conditions and circumstances which are unique to the parcel,
building or structure, which are not applicable to other parcels, structures or
buildings in the same zone district and which do not result from the actions of the
applicant; or
b. Granting the variance will not confer upon the applicant any special privilege
denied the terms of this Title and the Municipal Code to other parcels, buildings
or structures, in the same zone district.
Staff’s findings address each criteria, and Silver Shadow agrees with the Staff’s finding
that none have been met. In addition to Staff’s findings, Silver Shadow would direct the
Board’s attention to the following:
Silver Shadow, as an adjacent owner, has a reasonable expectation that the City will
enforce the restrictions of the Land Use Code according to its terms, especially
when Silver Shadow and other neighboring property owners are subject to those
same restrictions.
It is clear that Caribou now has reasonable use of the parcel, building or structure,
and no variance is necessary to achieve reasonable use. In fact, the structure has
been in place and occupied for approximately 40 years. The property has six units
and six parking spaces and presently meets the requirements of the Aspen Code.
The on-street parking situation on South Monarch affects all the properties in that
neighborhood equally. While on-street parking may be an issue in this
neighborhood. It is exactly that: a neighborhood issue that affects all the neighbors
equally. It is not unique to Caribou or the Caribou parcel.
Snowfall and the need for snow removal are also not unique to Caribou or the
Caribou parcel, and all the neighboring parcels have addressed the issue. Many are
simply paying more for additional snow removal when necessary. Caribou is
asking for assistance with this issue; though it is certainly able take the neighbor’s
approach to snow removal.
Enforcement of the terms and provisions of the Land Use Code will not deprive
Caribou of any rights enjoyed by other properties in the neighborhood or cause
Caribou hardship. There are no special conditions and circumstances unique to
Caribou and not applicable to its neighbors. Caribou has six parking spaces and six
units, which meets the requirements of the Land Use Code for off-street parking.
January 24, 2018
Page 4
Snow storage and removal is not unique to Caribou. Given these facts, granting the
requests variances would, in fact, grant a special privilege to Caribou by giving it
special relief from conditions that will remain for the neighboring properties.
Based on this record, there is no evidence supporting the grant of a variance in this case.
The necessary circumstances for such a grant are not present, and the Application meets
none of requirements under the Land Use Code. Staff has reached the same conclusion in
its well-reasoned Memorandum. Therefore, to grant the requested variances would be
contrary to the record, exceed the jurisdiction of the Board of Adjustment, and go beyond
the limits of the Board’s discretion.
2. South Monarch Street and the Face of Aspen Mountain Were Heavily Mined and
Are Now Plagued By Movable Soils Not Suitable Excavation.
It is common knowledge in Aspen that the entire South Monarch neighborhood was at one
time a mine site. Recent high-profile projects in the immediate vicinity have been plagued
by movable soils and shifting foundations and have resulted in lawsuits and public
impacts. Yet, Caribou proposes to excavate to lot line to lot line with no discussion of
how it will protect its neighbors from the movement of earth. This raises understandable
concern in the owners at Silver Shadow, being immediately downhill from project.
If Caribou were asking only for reasonable use of its property or only to have an
unreasonable burden lifted, these concerns might be mitigated. However, as outlined
above, that is not the case here. In the Application, Caribou is asking for additional
parking beyond that necessary for use of their units, beyond that required by code, beyond
that which has been functioning for 40 years in this location. What the Application is
actually requesting is a grant by the City of parking of quantity (extra spaces) and quality
(covered and heated) beyond that which afforded their neighbors.
In short, the risks of excavating in the area might be acceptable if it were necessary for
reasonable use. They are not acceptable simply to afford additional amenities to a single
group of property owners.
3. Caribou Exceeds The Permitted FAR, but Attempts to Avoid this Non-Conformity
by Shifting Impacts Offsite.
As stated in the Application, Caribou is over the allowable floor area by 165 sf, and the
individual units appear to be over the allowed 1,500 square feet net livable area maximum
for residential units in the Lodge Zone District. In addition, the existing trash enclosure
does not meet current Municipal Code requirements and the area of the enclosure must be
increased to comply with Code. However, trash enclosures count against floor area.
To avoid this legacy problem at Caribou, the Application proposes a trash and recycle area
that is open to the sky and open to view from Silver Shadow. This solution again
addresses a Caribou problem (non-conforming floor area and non-compliant trash
enclosure) by shifting the impacts to a neighboring property (an open-air trash area, in
view to the neighbors, and in the required setback).
January 24, 2018
Page 5
In addition, even with this shifting of impacts off-site, Caribou will still not meet the
current FAR and trash enclosure requirements. A Project of this kind should bring a non-
conforming site up to Code, and any modification of the non-conforming structure should
be conditioned on removal of the existing non-conformity.
If there were no other way to permit Caribou reasonable use of its property, such offsite
impacts might be necessary. However, that is simply not the case here. Instead, the
Application seeks to shift impacts resulting from the luxury of additional and covered
parking to Caribou’s neighbors.
4. The Other Offsite Impacts Of The Project Are Significant And Are Unacceptable If
Imposed For The Sole Purpose Of Granting A Property Owner Preferential Parking.
In addition to the issues above, the Project will create offsite noise impacts. The car
elevator, ventilation of the enclosed parking, and sump pumps necessary to drain the
subgrade garage will all create noise in the close quarters of this Aspen neighborhood.
The vent fans will also stir up and discharge dust and exhaust, and the pumps and floor
drains will discharge stormwater, motor oil, and other potential pollutants. The
Application does not account for these offsite impacts in any way.
The Application and proposed Project are contrary to the plain meaning of the applicable
provisions of the Land Use Code, and the analysis in the City’s Staff Memo finds that the
Application meets none of the criteria for a variance. The entire proposal seeks to shift impacts
to neighbors for the sole purpose of granting preferential parking privileges to a small group of
property owners. There is not basis under the Land Use Code for the grant of a variance in these
circumstances. The proposal is also not in keeping with the intent of the Code, the Aspen Area
Community Plan, or simple notions of fairness and equity.
For these reasons and those above, the Board of Adjustment should deny the
Application.
Thank you for reviewing our comments. Please to contact me with any questions.
Very truly yours,

Exhibit A –Variance Review Staff Findings
Chapter 26.314, Variance
A. In order to authorize a variance from the dimensional requirements of Title 26, the
appropriate decision-making body shall make a finding that the following three (3)
circumstances exist:
1. The grant of variance will be generally consistent with the purposes, goals,
objectives and policies of this Title and the Municipal Code; and
Staff Findings: The purpose of the City’s land use code is very general. It does,
however, speak to the legitimate rights and reasonable expectations of property owners.
Staff believes a reasonable expectation is that zoning limitations are observed and
enforced as uniformly as practical. Staff finds the criteria not met.
2. The grant of variance is the minimum variance that will make possible the
reasonable use of the parcel, building or structure; and
Staff Findings: Staff believes reasonable use of the property already exists and that no
variance is necessary to achieve reasonable use. The property has six condo units and
six parking spaces. The current available on-site parking meets the requirements of this
Title. Challenges related to snow storage and removal are not unique to the property,
and a more aggressive snow removal schedule could be used to address heavy snow
fall and snow storage challenges during periods of heavy snow. Staff finds the criteria
not met.
3. Literal interpretation and enforcement of the terms and provisions of this Title
would deprive the applicant of rights commonly enjoyed by other parcels in the
same zone district and would cause the applicant unnecessary hardship, as
distinguished from mere inconvenience. In determining whether an applicant's
rights would be deprived, the Board shall consider whether either of the following
conditions apply:
a. There are special conditions and circumstances which are unique to the parcel,
building or structure, which are not applicable to other parcels, structures or
buildings in the same zone district and which do not result from the actions of
the applicant; or
Staff Findings: The Applicant seeks a variance to accommodate a subgrade parking
garage. The property has six parking spaces and six units, which meets the
requirements of this Title for off-street parking. Furthermore, the issue of snow
storage and removal is not unique to this parcel. Staff finds the criteria not met.
b. Granting the variance will not confer upon the applicant any special privilege
denied the terms of this Title and the Municipal Code to other parcels, buildings
or structures, in the same zone district.

Staff Findings: Receipt of a setback variance would grant a special privilege not
available to other properties. Staff finds the criteria not met.
