The request is made to create greater landscaping area on the north side of the structure. Applicant: Aspen Institute, represented by Fred Smith, Agent for the Institute Location: Building #7 is a proposed structure located on the eastern edge of the lodge "campus" being improved and expanded by the Institute. The property owners across the river to the north of this site were concerned that the approved location of Building #7 (within 10' of the top of the steep slope) would severely limit space for landscape plantings to screen the structure to their satisfaction. The Institute agreed to process an amendment to move the building slightly to allow for increased landscaping area on the north side of the building. See map for original approval and proposed building location, Attachment "A". Staff Comments: Staff met with Mr. Smith and neighbors on the Institute site to discuss location alternatives. A revised location was staked and inspected by Kim Johnson and Bill Drueding. The limiting factor in moving the building to the south is the existence of a City water line and its 20' easement. The proposed building relocation stays at least 3' outside of this easement. The Planning Director may grant approval to insubstantial PUD Amendments pursuant to Section 24-7-908 A. When considering a project, the following criteria shall not be considered insubstantial: 1. A change in use or character 2. An increase in greater than 3% on the overall coverage of structures on the land 3. Any substantial increase in trips generation or demand on public facilities 4. Reduction by greater than 3% of approved open space 5. More than 1% reduction in parking 6. A reduction of required pavement widths or r.o.w. for streets 7. Greater than 2% increase of gross leasable floor area 8. Greater than 1% increase of residential density 9. Any change which is inconsistent with a condition or representation of the original approval, or which requires granting further variation from the project's approved dimensional requirements. The proposed location meets all of the above criteria for insubstantial amendments. No changes in the building use or size will occur, nor will open space be reduced. In fact, increased landscape area will result from this proposal. Staff believes that this request is consistent with the SPA Final Plan approvals. Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the relocation of Building #7 as indicated on Attachment "A". I approve the Insubstantial SPA Amendment for the rel ation of Building #7 as shown on At,�tac ent "A". 151 , DiarieAAoore, Planning Director Date Attachments: "A" - Map of Original and Proposed Location for Building #7 2 • • March 30, 1992 Ms. Kim Johnson City of Aspen Planning Department Staff 130 S. Galena Street Aspen, CO 81611 Dear Kim: On behalf of the Aspen Institute, I am requesting an amendment be processed relative to the location of Building #7 on the Aspen Institute's properties at the Aspen Meadows. Recently, we received a number of comments regarding the proximity of the approved building location to the edge of the escarpment above the Roaring Fork River. Many Pitkin Reserve and Red Mountain residents expressed reservations about the ability of the Institute to adequately landscape the building on the north side so as to soften and partially screen the building from the view plane of these residents. The building was originally located so as to avoid Anderson Park and to also avoid existing utility easements and utility installations in the area. Since it appears possible that the building can be shifted slightly to the south, accommodating additional room at the edge of the drop-off to the river, we are requesting that the City of Aspen Planning Department approve the relocation of Building #7, as depicted on Exhibit A. We believe that this amendment is insubstantial in nature, is in keeping with the intent of the original approval and does, in fact, provide for additional areas on the north side of the building for enhanced landscaping opportunities. Thank you very much for your attention to this matter.
