PROJECT DESCRIPTION: During the approval process the floor area of the building was set at 5500 square feet with an overall square footage of 6500 square feet. According to the application the actual floor area is calculated as 5065 square feet. According to the architects, during the final construction drawing phase it was determined that a small area, totally sub - grade, would be required for purposes of mechanical and storage area for the proposed snack bar, approximately 450 square feet. An additional 70 square feet is required for the elevator shaft. FINDINGS: Pursuant to Section 7-804 E., an insubstantial amendment to an approved Final Development Plan may be authorized by the Planning Director. An insubstantial amendment shall be limited to technical or engineering considerations first discovered during actual development which could not reasonably be anticipated during the approval process. The additional square footage does not: a. change the use or character of the development b. increase by greater than three percent the overall coverage of structures on the land c. substantially increase trip generation rates d. reduce by greater than three percent approved open space e. reduce by greater than one percent off-street parking and loading space f. reduce required pavement widths or rights -of -way for streets and easements g. increase greater than two percent the approved gross leasable floor area h. increase by greater than one percent approved residential density i. is inconsistent with a condition or representation of the project's original approval or requires granting of a further variation from the project's approved use or dimensional requirements. Therefore the amendment is insubstantial as it does not violate these review criteria. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of this insubstantial amendment to the Final SPA plan with the condition that the additional 520 square feet is contained within the mechanical/storage area and elevator shaft and does not increase the above grade square footage of the Center. I hereby approve this insubstantial amendment to the Final SPA Plan pursuant to Section 7-804 E. of the Aspen Land -Use Code.

During the approval process the floor area of the building was discussed and addressed as a concern. Resolution 27 Condition #1 states area limits would be 5500 S.F. with an overall square footage of 6500 S.F. The actual floor area calculated is 5065 S.F. During the final construction drawing phase it was determined that a small area, totally sub -grade, would be required for purposes of mechanical areas and storage area for the purposed snack bar. This area accounts for approximately 450 S.F. We feel this change may be dealt with under the attachment for review standards: Development application for amendment to approved PUD or SPA plan. The concern by the City Council basically dealt with the area build out of the building areas above grade. The area in question is totally below the structure. The gross area of the main levels of the building have remained at the 6500 S.F. (Except for the additional 70 S.F. required for the elevator shaft.) See letter to Planning Office dated August 24, 1990. The Aspen Youth Center Board is willing to do whatever is necessary to approve this area. We are aware that to process an insubstantial amendment will take time. Therefore, we would like to ask that the foundation excavation permit be processed and we can address this issue before issuance of a final building permit. Thank you for your consideration in this matter. Sincerely, CAUDILL GUSTAFSON ROSS & ASSOCIATES ARCHITECTS, P.C.
