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.

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.

M E M 0 RAN DUM TO: Aspen City Council AI1(}cl/ ) 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. 1mk enc. , /-...., - LAW Orl"'lCES OATES, AUSTIN, MCGRATH a JORDAN &00 EAST HOPt(INS AVII!:NUt: LEONARD M.

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. .._,~._____~._W'_'4~''''_'''_''~'__~.'

JORDAN By RWH/cd I)", r .-rl M E M 0 RAN DUM TO: Aspen Ci ty Counci 1 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. lmk enc. M E M 0 RAN DUM TO: Aspen Planning and Zoning Commission FROM: Planning Office (KS) 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. lmk enc. -,,~.~..........'---'----~~"""""'~""" MEMO TO: KAREN SMITH PLANNING DEPARTMENT DAVE ELLIS ~ ~ ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT ~ FROM: Date: December 1, 1977 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. jk cc: Robert W.

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 . -- ~ . " ., i ,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 YOll for your consideration. Very truly yours, OATES, JORDAN By RWH/cd . , ",.-- ~. "0 ,i ~
