From: Date: Nov. 24, 1975 Re: Subdivision Exemption Request Lot 4, Tipple Woods Subdivision Before the engineering department makes extensive comment on the above request I would like an improvement survey showing all existing improvements, easements of record and encroachments if any. Copies of the 200 year lease and any other encumberances or covenants should also be submitted. A minimum requirement would be that a plat be filed showing the new lot lines and any land held in common. I will reserve judgement on whether to recommend exemption until the requested information is presented; subdivision with exception from strict application of the design criteria may be more appropriate since a plat will be required. There are some substantial problems with the lot such as no street frontage and inadequate access for fire protection; However, considering the fact that the dwellings are existing, I don't feel these would be reason to deny approval. o ~ ","", LAW OFFICES MORAN, REIDY a.

Galena Street Aspen, Colorado Re: Lot 4, Tipple Woods Subdivision Gentlemen: The undersigned represents Mr, and Mrs. George Anderman. The purpose of this letter is to request a Statement of Exemption from the subdivision requirements of the City of Aspen on the above described land, which we understand is in the City of Aspen, under the following circumstances. Pursuant to a lease recorded in Book 191 at page 583 of the records of Pitkin County and an amendment to that lease recorded in Book 192 at page 216, Mr. and Mrs. Anderson, together with a Mr. Robert R. Berg, hold the leasehold estate of a portion of Lot 4. The lease is for a term of two hundred years. All of Lot 4 is presently owned by Dr. and Mrs. Colgate, subject to the above described lease. The lease gives the lessees the right to obtain a general Warranty Deed to the leased premises at any time during the term of the lease. At this time the Andermans and Mr. Berg wish to exercise this right. We understand the convey- ance from the Colgates might be considered subdividing Lot 4, and if that is the case, we are requesting this Statement of Exemption. At the present time there are two improvements on Lot 4: A house owned and occupied by Dr. and Mrs. Colgate and the house owned by the Andermans along with Mr. Berg. Absolutely no change will take place after fee title is conveyed to the Ander- mans and Mr. Berg. Even if any change was desired, the restrictive covenants of the subdivision require only two improvements can be placed on Lot 4, and the improvements must be used as residential homes. Further, the conveyance will not require any additional city services or ad- ditional utility services. The property will remain exactly the same, except instead of holding it under a 200-year lease with right to fee title, the Andermans and Mr. Berg will hold fee title. We trust the Planning Commission will agree that an exemption under these r-. ~J - Planning Commission November 20, 1975 2 circumstances is proper. Please advise the undersigned if you wish further information and what steps we should now take to obtain an exemption. Yours very truly, JWC:fc copy: MORAN, REIDY & VOORHE,ES (' '}'''' 'Jr t'-<'1A' '. Mr. and Mrs. George Anderman 4999 S. Birch Street Denver, Colorado
