MEMORANDUM
TO: Richard Grice, Planning Department
FROM: Louis Buettner, Engineering Departmen
DATE: September 19, 1979
RE: Patio Building Subdivision Exemption
The Engineering Department after reviewing this application
finds the following:
1. The plat does not have the width for Hyman Avenue, Spring
Street or the alley northerly of the property.
2. There is a need for a utility easement located in the
northwesterly corner of the property.
3. The description of the property needs the addition of
"original Aspen townsite" to be complete.
4. The applicant needs to apply to the City Council for a
license for the encroachments of the building and steps.
5. The application for this exemption implies the existence
of at least two residential units. The building permit in
1973 listed two residential units to be constructed.
The application also states the units are not being used
for residential purposes. The zoning for this property
requires one off-street parking space for each bedroom,
commercial use requires no off-street parking.
In the event any unit would be converted to residential
use, the need for off -street -parking would exist.
The above items are items that the Engineering Department would
request to be corrected if this was a subdivision.
The Engineering Department can recommend approval of this
exemption application if the above items are corrected or made
a condition of the approval.

Patio Building Subdivision Exemption
November 30, 1979
C-1
Lots R and S, Block 99, City and Townsite of Aspen (intersection
of Hyman and Original)
Lot Size:
Approximately 6,000 square feet
Rental History:
The entire building has been rented in recent years by
commercial tenants. The building does contain two units
which qualify as residential dwelling units, however, none
of the residential units are presently leased or occupied by
any persons for residential purposes. The applicant does
desire to reserve the right to use those units for residential
purposes in the future. We do not feel that the residential
units are now or have been within the last 18 months a part
of the low or moderate income housing group.
Engineering
Comments:
The Engineering Department recommends approval subject to
two corrections to the plat, the dedication of a utility
easement, and application to the City Council for a license
for the encroachment of the steps and building, and subject
to the creation of one off-street parking space for each
bedroom in the residential units. The Engineering Depart-
ment's complete comments are included in your packet and are
found ina memorandum dated September 19, 1979.
Attorney's
Comments:
"The Patio Building was constructed prior to the general
rezoning of the City in 1975. As such, certain legally
established uses existed at the time the property was
reclassified to the C-1 district. Since these uses are not
currently permitted in the C-1 zone district they have
acquired non -conforming use status. If I am to remain
consistent, I must recommend denial of this subdivision
exemption on the grounds that it violates Section 20-9(c)
of the Code. Section 20-9(c) states that, "no subdivision
shall be approved which includes elements not in conformance
with the provisons of any applicable zoning ordinance or other
ordinance of the City of Aspen or law or regulation of the
State of Colorado."
Planning Office
Recommendation:
The non -conformity referred to is in -substantial. The
Nature Store House is a food store and as such is a use
not allowed in the C-1 zone. We recommend approval subject
to the conditions suggested in the Engineering Department's
memo of September 19, 1979.
P and Z
Recommendation:
Approval subject to conditions 1 through 4 of the Engineering
Department's memo of September 19, 1979, if the dwelling
units are ever used as dwellings they will be under PMH
guidelines and are therefore exempt from parking requirements,
and the owner/applicant agrees that when the Nature Store
House closes that non -conforming use will be terminated
immediately.

APPLICATION FOR EXEMPTION
FROM SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS
PATIO BUILDING
Request is hereby made on behalf of Jack and Gesine
Crandall, doing business as Patio Building Company, a joint
venture, (hereinafter referred to as "Applicant"), under
section 20-10(a) of the Aspen, Colorado, Subdivision
Regulations, for an exemption from the definition of the term
"Subdivision" with respect to the following real property.
Lots R and S, Block 99
City and Townsite of Aspen
County of Pitkin, State of Colorado
It is submitted that the requested exemption is
appropriate. This application involves subdivision by
condominiumization of an existing office building. Strict
compliance with subdivision regulations would create undue
hardship to applicants. If an exemption is granted, the
owners of the property will be able to proceed with their
current refinancing program, and their estate and retirement
planning by condominiumization of the existing structure.
The requested action will not in any way increase the land
use impact of the property which will continue to be used for
its current purposes. An exemption in this case will not
conflict with the intent and purpose of the subdivision
regulations which are directed to assist the orderly,
efficient, and integrated development of the City of Aspen,
to insure the proper distribution of population, to
coordinate the need for public services, and to encourage
well -planned subdivision.
The granting of this application will not undermine the
intent of the subdivision regulations as it is clearly within
•
the area intended for exemption under Section 20-19. The
building is already in existence, and there will be no change
in density or use, which are presently compatible with the
zoning for the property. Construction of such building was
completed in two phases in 1969 and 1974 respectively. There
are no existing residential leaseholds applicable to the
Building, although at least two units were originally
intended for residential purposes. Neither of such units is
suitable for low or moderate income housing as described in
the housing price guidelines adopted by the Aspen City
Council. The Affidavit of Applicant attached hereto presents
evidence that approval of this application will not reduce
the supply of low and moderate income housing.
If the exemption is granted, approximately 20
condominium units will be created, and will be configured in
substantial conformity with the configurations of the spaces
now located therein.
Applicant agrees upon condominimization approval to
restrict the rental of said duplex units to periods of not
less than six (6) successive months (or in the alternate to
not more than twice for short-term periods within any
calendar year) in the event that any of the units are ever
converted to residential units.
The Applicant would appreciate your consideration of
this application at your next regular meeting.

owners of the property will be able to proceed with their
current refinancing program, and their estate and retirement
planning by condominiumization of the existing structure.
The requested action will not in any way increase the land
use impact of the property which will continue to be used for
its current purposes. An exemption in this case will not
conflict with the intent and purpose of the subdivision
regulations which are directed to assist the orderly,
efficient, and integrated development of the City of Aspen,
to insure the proper distribution of population, to
coordinate the need for public services, and to encourage
well -planned subdivision.
The granting of this application will not undermine the
' intent of the subdivision regulations as it is clearly within
10
the area intended for exemption under Section 20-19. The
building is already in existence, and there will be no change
in density or use, which are presently compatible with the
zoning for the property. Construction of such building was
completed in•two phases in 1969 and 1974 respectively. There
are no existing residential.leaseholds applicable to the
Building, although at least two units were originally
intended for residential purposes. Neither of such units is
suitable for low or moderate income housing as described in
the housing price guidelines adopted by the Aspen City
Council. The Affidavit of Applicant attached hereto presents
evidence that approval of this application will not reduce
the supply of low and moderate income housing.
If the exemption is granted, approximately 20
condominium units will be created, and will be configured in
substantial conformity with the configurations of the spaces
now located therein.
Applicant agrees upon condominimization approval to
restrict the rental of said duplex units to periods of not
less than six (6) successive months (or in the alternate to
not more than twice for short-term periods within any
calendar year) in the event that any of the units are ever
converted to residential units.
The Applicant would appreciate your consideration of
this application at your next regular meeting.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Richard Grice, Planning Department
FROM: Louis -Buettner, Engineering Departmen �-
DATE: September 19, 1979
RE: Patio Building Subdivision Exemption
The Engineering Department after reviewing this application
finds the following:
1. The plat does not have the width for Hyman Avenue, Spring
Street or the alley northerly of the property.
2. There is a need for a utility easement located in the
northwesterly corner of the property.
3. The description of the property needs the addition of
"original Aspen townsite" to be complete.
4. The applicant needs to apply to the City Council for a
- license for the encroachments of the building and steps.
5. The application for this exemption implies the existence
of at least two residential units. The building permit in
1973 listed two residential units to be constructed.
The application also states the units are not being used
for residential purposes. The zoning for this property
requires one off-street parking space for each bedroom,
commercial use requires no off-street parking.
In the event any unit would be converted to residential
use, the need for off-street parking would exist.
The above items are items that the Engineering Department. would
request to be corrected if this was a subdivision.
The Engineering Department can recommend approval of this
exemption application if the above items are corrected or made
a condition of the approval.
