Re: Application for Subdivision Exemption
Lots 14 and 15, Pitkin Mesa Subdivision;
Duplex Condominiumization
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We represent Michael S. Annan, who by this application,
seeks an exemption from the definition of a subdivision (Section
20-l9(b), Municipal Code of the City of Aspen) in connection with
the proposed condominiumization of two duplexes, situate upon
Lots 14 and 15, Block 1, Pitkin Mesa Subdivision. Each of these
lots is zoned R-15 residential.
The duplex structure on Lot 14 is of a two story wood-
frame construction, containing one 3 bedroom, 2 bath dwelling unit,
currently occupied by Mr. Annan as his residence, and one studio
dwelling unit, which is presently being occupied by Mr. Annan's
housekeeper. The duplex structure on Lot 15 is of a three story
wood-frame construction. Each unit contains 3 bedrooms and 2
baths. Neither unit is occupied. Improvement surveys for each
parcel are submitted herewith.
Naturally, Mr. Annan understands that the condominium-
ization of existing duplexes constitutes a subdivision under
state law and the City Code. However, given that the principal
purpose and intent of the subdivision laws is to accommodate
orderly and planned development, and that Mr. Annan's duplexes
.I'
OATES, AUSTIN, MCGRATH a JORDAN
November 15, 1977
Page Two
are already constructed in conformance with existing use and
density requirements, we believe that a subdivision exemption is
appropriate in this case.
Needless to say, Mr. Annan's principal objective in
condominiumizing his duplexes is to enhance their marketability.
He is, in this respect, no different than any of the other several
applicants for subdivision exemptions whose applications are
currently pending. By the same token, however, he is also aware
of the City's understandable concerns with tenant displacement and
low and moderate income housing. We believe that in this particu-
lar case the impact of condominiumization upon these concerns is
minimal at best.
With respect to the duplex situated on Lot 15, Mr.
Annan fully intends to maintain the principal unit as his
residence and to continue the present arrangement with his house-
keeper. Of course, should his plans change, Mr. Annan's
housekeeper will be given the appropriate 90-day right of first
refusal to purchase her unit. The duplex on Lot 15 is newly
constructed and has yet to be occupied. Hence, the problem of
tenant displacement simply does not exist.
Neither duplex, regardless of the form of ownership,
fairly lends itself to the potential for low or very moderate
income housing, although admittedly we find this concept some-
what difficult precisely to measure or define.
Mr. Annan also understands the City's current policy of
requiring the payment of a park dedication fee and of restricting
condominiumized units to minimum six month lease terms, and
understands these conditions will be imposed if his application
is granted. He has no desire to rent on a tourist or short term
basis in any event.
Naturally, we will be happy to provide you with any
further information you might require. We would appreciate
an early setting on the Planning and Zoning Commission agenda.
Thank you for your consideration.
Very truly yours,
OATES,
JORDAN

Re: Lots 14 and 15, Pitkin Mesa Subdivision
Sewer and Utility Easement
Ladies and Gentlemen:
He have examined the above-referenced lots to deter-
mine the consequence, if any, of the two duplex structures upon
the 10-foot sewer and utility easement shown on the subdivision
plat as bisecting the parcels in a northwesterly direction.
The easement runs underneath a wooden deck built
along the easternmost side of the duplex on lot 14 and slightly
underneath the first floor overhang on the easternmost side
of the duplex on lot 15. However, the easement currently is not
being used by the District and we do not anticipate it being
used as such in the future. The District's sewer lines servicing
these two lots, as well as lot 16 to the north, have been
installed beneath the 30-foot road and utility easement running
northwesterly through the parcels approximately at the western-
most lot lines. Furthermore, the easement itself lies on
rather precipitous terrain. Consequently, we do not now per-
ceive a conflict of any practical significance between the
easement and the duplexes, nor do we anticipate any future
problems.
We also understand that Michael S. Annan, the owner
of lots 14 and 15, has applied to the City for exemption from
December 19, 1977
Page Two
the definition of a subdivision in connection with the condomin-
iumization of the two duplexes. The District has no objections

FROM: Planning Office (KS)
RE: Subdivision Exemption - Lots 14 and 15 Pitkin Mesa Subdivision
DATE: January 6, 1978
This application requests subdivision exemption for the condominiumization
of two duplexes on Lots 14 and 15 of the Pitkin Mesa Subdivision. The
two duplexes are each located on a lot of approximately 15,000 square
feet in an R-15 zone district and are owned by Michael Annan.
Some information relative to Ordinance 53 was'provided in the application
letter dated November 15th. Primarily, Mr. Annan intends to continue
occupying his 3 bedroom unit and provide a right of first refusal to his
current housekeeper who occupies the attached studio (Lot 14). The
duplex on Lot 15 is newly constructed and has never been occupied.
Each unit there has 3 bedrooms. When Mr. Annan recently offered the whole
duplex for sale, the duplex was reportedly optioned at $275,000. The
deal, however, fell through resulting in Mr. Annan's desire to condomin-
iumize and sell the units separately. The applicant's attorney stated
that the purchase price of each unit in the duplex would be roughly half
of $275,000.
The Planning and Zoning Commission passed a motion recommending approval
of the exemption for Lots 14 and 15, finding that the conversions will
not reduce the supply of low and moderate income housing. The motion was
conditioned on a six month minimum lease restriction, 90 day right of first
refusal to the existing tenant (the housekeeper), and payment of the
appropriate park dedication fee.
P&Z's motion was further conditioned on final resolution of the City
Engineer's concerns regarding location of utility easements. As of this
writing, we do not know if these concerns have been satisfied but will
report on Monday.
We have just received word from Dave Ellis indicating that the utilities
easement concerns have not been resolved. Dave Ellis requests a condo-
minium plat showing dedication and utilities prior to consideration by
Council. Dave stated that he requested this of the applicant at the
time of P&Z consideration and has received no word since. If the appro-
priate plat is not received in enough time for review by Monday's meeting,
the matter should be tabled.

seeks an exemption from the definition of a subdivision (Section
20-19 (b) , Municipal Code of the City of Aspen) in connection with
the proposed condominiumization of two duplexes, situate upon

Re: Lots 14 & 15, Pitkin Mesa Subdivision
Ladies and Gentlemen:
In connection with the application for exemption from
the definition of a subdivision pertaining to the duplexes situate
upon the above-referenced lots, Dave Ellis had indicated the
presence of potential easement problems. In particular these
were 1) an access problem with respect to the adjoining lot 16,
and 2) what appeared to be an encroachment of the decks built
on the duplexes upon a sewer easement. With regard to the former,
currently access to lot 16 is afforded by means of a driveway,
which apparently leaves the contour of the recorded roadway ease-
ment and cuts across a portion of lot 15. With respect to the
latter, we have had several conversations with the Aspen Sanita-
tion District, which culminated in a letter prepared by Heiko
Kuhn that acknowledges that the District's sewer lines are in
place on the westerly side of the two properties and not within
the easement shown on the subdivision plat. The District does not
now nor in the future anticipate any use of the recorded easement
and, hence, the problem is more abstract than real.
In any event we have had discussions with Dave who
feels that these problems can be easily rectified by appropriate
dedicatory language on the condominium maps, simply confirming
from a record standpoint the physical situation that now exists
on the property. The applicant, Mr. Annan, is certainly willing
to do this.

You may be assured that we expect to work fully
with Dave on these problems, and that nothing will be permitted
to go of record until such time as he is satisfied. We
would, therefore, request your approval of subdivision exemption
in this case, expressly conditional upon Dave's approval of the
final condominium map.
Thank you for your consideration.

RE: Subdivision Exemption - Lots 14 and 15 Pitkin Mesa Subdivision
DATE: January 6, 1978
This application requests subdivision exemption for the condominiumization
of two duplexes on Lots 14 and 15 of the Pitkin Mesa Subdivision. The
two duplexes are each located on a lot of approximately 15,000 square
feet in an R-15 zone district and are owned by Michael Annan.
Some information relative to Ordinance 53 was provided in the application
letter dated November 15th. Primarily, Mr. Annan intends to continue
occupying his 3 bedroom unit and provide a right of first refusal to his
current housekeeper who occupies the attached studio (Lot 14). The
duplex on Lot 15 is newly constructed and has never been occupied.
Each unit there has 3 bedrooms. When Mr. Annan recently offered the whole
duplex for sale, the duplex was reportedly optioned at $275,000. The
deal, however, fell through resulting in Mr. Annan's desire to condomin-
iumize and sell the units separately. The applicant's attorney stated
that the purchase price of each unit in the duplex would be roughly half
of $275,000.
The Planning and Zoning Commission passed a motion recommending approval
of the exemption for Lots 14 and 15, finding that the conversions will
not reduce the supply of low and moderate income housing. The motion was
conditioned on a six month minimum lease restriction, 90 day right of first
refusal to the existing tenant (the housekeeper), and payment of the
appropriate park dedication fee.
P&Z's motion was further conditioned on final resolution of the City
Engineer's concerns regarding location of utility easements. As of this
writing, we do not know if these concerns have been satisfied but will
report on Monday.
We have just received word from Dave Ellis indicating that the utilities
easement concerns have not been resolved. Dave Ellis requests a condo-
minium plat showing dedication and utilities prior to consideration by
Council. Dave stated that he requested this of the applicant at the
time of P&Z consideration and has received no word since. If the appro-
priate plat is not received in enough time for review by Monday's meeting,
the matter should be tabled.

RE: Subdivision Exemption - Lots 14 and 15, Pitkin Mesa Subdivision
DATE: December 15, 1977
This application requests subdivision exemption approval for two separate
duplexes located on Lots 14 and 15 of the Pitkin Mesa Subdivision. The
zone district is R-15 and each of the lots is approximately 15,000
square feet.
In his initital review of the application, Dave Ellis noted problems with
easement descriptions or lack thereof on the improvement surveys. In
particular, he noted that access roads are located outside of road
easements shown on the plat. The structures encroach on the sewer
easement. While Dave was recommending denial of the exemption based
on these considerations, we understand that he and the applicant may
have reached a satisfactory resolution which would permit the exemption
route. We will update you on this at the meeting.
The application provides some information relevant to impact on moderate
income housing. We would ask that additional information on sales
price be given before recommending approval. It is possible that these
units never have been in the range of moderate income housing.
For the occupied duplex, conditions of approval should include the new
90 day right of first refusal. For both duplexes, six month miniumum
leases and payment of the park dedication fee will be required.

Re:
Subdivision Exemption Request - Lots 14 & 15,
Block 1, Pitkin Mesa
This request for exemption involves the condominiumization
of two duplex structures, one on each lot. The exemption
procedure is generally acceptable in such instances;
however, in this case both improvement surveys show serious
problems with easements or the lack of easements; The access
road to Lot 16 crosses Lot 15. The majority of both roads
lies outside the platted easement and there is no practi-
cal means of relocating either road. Both structures en-
croach into the sewer easement in several places each.
Based on these problems we recommend denial of the exemp-
tion. The easement problems need to be resolved so that
future owners have guaranteed legal access and can obtain
a clear title opinion and so that the public utilities
have useable easements.

Re: Application for Subdivision Exemption
Lots 14 and 15, Pitkin Mesa Subdivision;
Duplex Condominiumization
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We represent Michael S. Annan, who by this application,
seeks an exemption from the definition of a subdivision (Section
20-19 (b) , Municipal Code of the City of Aspen) in connection with
the proposed condominiumization of two duplexes, situate upon
Lots 14 and 15, Block 1, Pitkin Mesa Subdivision. Each of these
lots is zoned R-15 residential.
The duplex structure on Lot 14 is of a two story wood-
frame construction, containing one 3 bedroom, 2 bath dwelling unit,
currently occupied by Mr. Annan as his residence, and one studio
dwelling unit, which is presently being occupied by Mr. Annan's
housekeeper. The duplex structure on Lot 15 is of a three story
wood-frame construction. Each unit contains 3 bedrooms and 2
baths. Neither unit is'occupied. Improvement surveys for each
parcel are submitted herewith.
Naturally, Mr. Annan understands that the condominium-
ization of existing duplexes constitutes a subdivision under
state law and the City Code. However, given that the principal
purpose and intent of the subdivision laws is to accommodate
orderly and planned development, and that Mr. Annan's duplexes

are already constructed in conformance with existing use and
density requirements, we believe that a subdivision exemption is
appropriate in this case.
Needless to say, Mr. Annan's principal objective in
condominiumizing his duplexes is to enhance their marketability.
He is, in this respect, no different than any of the other several
applicants for subdivision exemptions whose applications are
currently pending. By the same token, however, he is also aware
of the City's understandable concerns with tenant displacement and
low and moderate income housing. We believe that in this particu-
lar case the impact of condominiumization upon these concerns is
minimal at best.
With respect to the duplex situated on Lot 15, Mr.
Annan fully intends to maintain the principal unit as his
. residence and to continue the present arrangement with his house-
keeper. Of course, should his plans change, Mr. Annan's
housekeeper will be given the appropriate 90-day right of first
,refusal to purchase her unit. The duplex on Lot 15 is newly
constructed and has yet to be occupied. Hence, the problem of
tenant displacement simply does not'exist.
Neither duplex, regardless of the form of ownership,
fairly lends itself to the potential for low or very moderate
income housing, although admittedly we find this concept some-
what difficult precisely to measure or define.
Mr. Annan also understands the City's current policy of
requiring the payment of a park dedication fee and of restricting
condominiumized units to minimum six month lease terms, and
understands these conditions will be imposed if his application
is granted. He has no desire to rent on a tourist or short term
basis in any event.
Naturally, we will be happy to provide you with any
further information you might require. We would appreciate
an early setting on the Planning and Zoning Commission agenda.
Thank YOll for your consideration.
Very truly yours,
OATES,
JORDAN
