SUBDIV.l _ION -EXEMPTION - Lindner
Ms. Smith told Council that thif; involves an (-xi::ti.ng dllpl(�x, which has; been r('—mo doled to
a two
--s;lory duplex. The engilicel-ing c-oncerns h,.,vo been ,(s.olvcd. 'Phelc! is a vilcatod City
street or, the fn operty which is uf:ed fur earl:in 1. f' & 7, recommended approval on Dec( ndx r
G and attached the !;ix month minimum lease rec;tr-iction, and tho 90 day right of f.irsL
refusal and payment of the park dedication fee. This, exemption will come under Ordinance
053, condominiumization policy. The planning office asked the applicant to provide
information relative to compliance with the ord.inanco. This is unique as it did riot: receivc.-
P & Z recommendation under that ordinance.
Ms. Smith told Council. that there are currently no tenants in the building, so there can
be no tenant. displacement. The other comparison is pr.icc: guidelines;. Council. ha; not
adopted anything specific except Chuck Vi.dal's modal of: low and moderate incomes. if
Council applied the pricing rule of thumb, the maximum in middle income for a unit. would
be $75,000. Ms. Smith explained that one of the units will continue to be r.entrd long
term; the other will be sold at around $100,000. This does not comply with the price
guidelines recommended but not adopted. Ms. Smith stated that based on the irlforinaLiori
Gideon Kaufman has given, Council will find this is not in the purview of low and moderato
income housing.
Councilman Van Ness moved to approve the subdivision exemption; seconded by Councilman
Parry. All in favor, motion carried.
Gideon Kaufman reminded Council he had some information on the formula for park dcdica-
tion fees and he wanted to address Council. on this point. Mahoney said he objected to
this because lie should have had some staff time to prepare. Mahoney said he did not. know
what the issue was. Mayor Pro Tem Behrendt pointed out this was not r.:cr,tioned to anyone
who prepares the agenda. Kaufman said he would like to show that thn formula does not
work. It greatly discriminates against older., smaller lots. New lots do not have to pay
such big park dedication fees. Mayor Pro Tom Behrendt said this should be di.scu,sed when
the City Attorney and Planner are present.
SUBDIVISIOid EXEMPTION - Peter Koss/ARI
Ms. Smith told Council this is located on Main street, the Nugget Lodge and ARI building.
The area is owned by Peter loss and he would like to sell M, N and half of 0 off to ARI.
The issues would be whether the improvements on lots M, N, 1,0 comply with existing zoning.
In terms of uses, ARI would be a permitted use in the O, office district. The Nugget
Lodge is a pre-existing non -conforming use. The lot size for ARI is adequate. The rAR is
1:1. There is no park dedication fee because this is not residential or commercial
Ms. Smith pointed out the Nugget is a lodge in the 0 district, and the only way to compute
whether the lot is standard size is to compare it to the lodge district. The four lots
come to about 13,000 square feet and the floor size of the Nugget is 13,000 square fort:,
so it meets the lodge FAR of. 1:1. The City engineer has reviewed the survey and certifies
that everything is all right. Ellis pointed out there is a shed structure encroaching
upon the alley, but that it should be allowed to remain there until it interferes t:,ith
public use of the alley. There is a question about the payment of the water tap fee.
When the new building was put there, the water department requested a new tap fec. This
has been disputed. P & Z did not think this question was within their purview. mahoney
said this should be reviewed by Jim Markalunas.
Councilman Van Ness moved to approve the exemption subject to an encroachment agreement
for the shed; seconded by Councilwoman Johnston.
Joe Edwards, representing the applicants, pointed out this is in the historic district.
They would be allowed additional density and given the 2�- lots, they can expand about
1/3 larger. They could apply for this expansion whether it is in one ownership or not.
All in favor., motion carried.
ORDINANCE 1146, SERIES O17 1977 - Salary
City Manager Mahoney told Council that his office with COG developed this salary schedule.
Mahoney said it was the sense of the staff that Council wanted a framework developed so
there would be a more definitive policy. Councilman Van Ness asked how much of an increase
this represented. Mahoney said this was reflected in tho 1978 budget, and the increases
are mostly in the lower salary scales. Councilwoman Johnston pointed out that sick time
was available at ono day a month, and objected to it being accumulated and being paid at
3 to 1.. Councilwoman Johnston said she thought this was totally unnecessary. Personnel
Director Patsy Malohc. pointed out that this was an employee benefit and has been for years.
Two years ago longevity was eliminated. This sick pay is an incentive for employees to
be here. finance hilector Butterbaugh pointed out that this; was an economic necossi.ty
as far as her department was concerned. If. there was no sick pay accrual, the employees
would take their sick days; this would mean finance would have to hire another person.
Councilman ifershey objected to the ordinance because the joh definitions are defined by
person its opposed to jobs. There are several different secretaries and different. clerks
listed. Ms. Butterbaugh pointed out. that the department heads budgeted 1978 salaries on
this ordinance, and Council approved tho budget. Mrs. Huttorhaugh told Council she had
given them the salaries an(] the' justification for incrciv;es at bud(lot time. Councilman
flerslu'y said he would like it. re -written more realistically, and instead of job d(,::crip-
tions, tit(, ordinance should he morn broad. Councilwoman Johnston said -she felt that
equality between do l art nu nt::. is important. in municipal (governments. Ms. Malone ,;Ad silo
fell- that the eu,ploy(•es needed :structure so that they know what is expected and what the
salary is.

RE: ARI Building - Subdivision Exemption
DATE: December 2, 1977
This application requests permission to separate Lots M, N, and part of
0 of Block 58 from Lots P, Q, R, and S and part of 0. Currently they
are held in common ownership with the ARI building located on M through
0 and the Nugget Lodge on P through S. The purpose of the exemption
would be to allow the sale of the ARI building to a Mr. Koss. The zone
district is 0-Office and the lot split would create a conforming lot
(and conforming use) for the ARI building. The Nugget Lodge is a
pre-existing non -conforming use and in being located in the 0 district,
the only way to compute whether the lot is standard -sized is to compare
the FAR to what it would be in the Lodge District. This procedure was
followed for the Scott Subdivision involving a multi -family structure
in the R-6 zone district. We believe that the Nugget would meet the
Lodge FAR given that there are over four lots with a total lot are of
approximately 13,000 square feet. We think and will ask the applicant
to confirm that the floor area of the Lodge is less than 13,000 and
therefore within the 1:1 FAR.
As of this writing, Dave Ellis has just received the improvement survey
and will attach his comments later. There is no park dedication fee
for office or lodge development.
The improvement survey will be brought to the meeting.

RE: ARI Building - Subdivision Exemption
DATE: December 14, 1977
This application requests permission to separate Lots M, N, and part of
0 of Block 58 from Lots P, Q, R, and S and part of 0 now owned by Peter
Koss. Currently they are held in common ownership with the ARI building
located on M through 0 and the Nugget Lodge on P through S. The purpose
of the exemption would be to allow the sale of the ARI building. The
zone district is 0-Office and the lot split would create a conforming
lot (and conforming use) for the ARI building. The Nugget Lodge is a
pre-existing non -conforming use and in being located in the 0 district,
the only way to compute whether the lot is standard -sized is to compare

Lodge FAR given that there are over four lots with a total lot area of
approximately 13,000 square feet. If the floor area of the Nugget
Lodge is 13,000 square feet or less, then it would comply with the Lodge
district's FAR of 1:1. We believe that it does comply and have asked
the applicant to confirm the Nugget's floor area.
Dave Ellis reviewed the improvement survey and, in his comments dated
December 2nd, 1977, recommends the exemption be granted since the site
"substantially meets all current design standards." He did note that
an appendage (shed -type structure) on the ARI building encroaches on
the alley, but recommends that it be allowed to remain until such time
as it interferes with public uses in the alley.
The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval of the exemp-
tion at their December 6th meeting, without conditions. There is no
park dedication fee required for office or lodge development,
An improvement survey will be brought to the meeting.

RE: Subdivision Exemption Request - Lots M,N, and
VJ 2 of 0, Block 58
The engineering department has reviewed the improvement
survey and the site and finds that the property substan-
tially meets all current design standards. We would like
to note for the record that there is an encroachment into
the public alley right of way. However, we feel that the
encroachment should be allowed to remain until such time
as it interferes with public uses in the alley. On the basis
of the above we recommend that the exemption be granted.

November 11, 1977
Ms. Karen Smith
Aspen Pitkin County Planning Office
Aspen City Hall
Galena Street
Aspen, Colorado 81611
Dear Karen:
As per our telephone conversation I am enclosing herewith
our Application For Exemption From Subdivision Regulations
in order to allow the separate sale and conveyance of the
Victorian Building located on Lots M, N and O of Block_ 58,
City of Aspen. This is the ARI building located immediately
to the West of the Nugget Lodge on Main Street and the
reason for the exemption application is that Section 20-4(c)
provides that contiguous lots in the same ownership are unsub-
divided parcels and separate sale thereof would constitute a
subdivision. However, Subparagraph D of the same Section
invites the enclosed Application for an exemption for a case
such as this where the intents and purposes of the Subdivision
Regulations to assure the provision of certain amenities and
standards have already been satisfied.
The only problem we are aware of regarding this property
stems from an outstanding claim by the City of Aspen for a
water tap fee for the particular building. The reason this
matter was in dispute was that the property formerly had another
Victorian building on the property which did have a City water
tap. Subsequently, this building was removed and thereafter
Mr. Koss placed the present building on these lots and connected
the water lines to the former service line. The City has taken
the position that since this service was terminated between the
time of the removal of the original building and the installation
of the current building that a new tap fee was payable. Mr.Koss
has previously taken the position that the prior tap should be
entitled to at least some credit and I'm sure that during this
process we will have to resolve this outstanding question. If
you have any other matters that need further definition, please
advise and we will try to provide the required information.
Very truly yours,
P

APPLICATION FOR EXEMPTION FROM SUBDIVISION
1. APPLICANT'S NAME: George Peter Koss. Title presently
stands in the name of George Peter Koss. The current
encumbrances on the property are a first deed of trust
to secure to John Koss a loan in the amount of approxi-
mately $100,000, a second deed of trust to Jean Berryman
to secure a loan in the amount of $20,000 and a third
deed of trust to secure to Perry Pollock a loan in
the amount of $12,000. A copy of an Ownership and
Encumbrance Statement by the title company is attached
hereto as "Exhibit A". The Applicant is the owner
of the Nugget Lodge adjacent to the property proposed
to be transferred and has been an Aspen resident for at
least five years.
2. LOCATION OF THE PROPERTY: Lots M, N and the west one-
half of 0, Block 58, City and Townsite of Aspen also
known as 122 West Main. This is the Victorian building
which currently houses the Aspen Reservations Incorpora-
ted and is immediately adjacent to and to the west of
the Nugget Lodge.
3. PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: The two city lots are improved with
the old Victorian building which used to be located next
to the Flora Dora and which was moved onto these vacant
lots approximately five years ago. An improvement survey
locating the building on these two and one-half city lots
is being prepared and will be provided if available prior
to the hearing.
4. CURRENT TENANTS: The building is currently under a lease
to Aspen Reservations Incorporated which has several more
years to run on the base term and then a right in the
tenants to extend the lease for an additional five-year
period. It is expected that the current tenants will
exercise their option to extend the term and will be
in occupancy of the premises for another seven to eight
years.
5. REASON FOR EXEMPTION: The application is for the exemption
of the application of the City's Subdivision Regulations
in order to allow the separate sale and conveyance of the
above described Victorian Building located on Lots M, N
and one-half of O from the remainder of the lots upon which
the Nugget Lodge is located and which are contiguous to
the lots in question. Section 20-4(c) of the Aspen Municipal
Code provides that if "two or more lots ... are in single
ownership —the lots ... shall be considered an undivided
parcel ... and conveyance of any ... shall constitute a
subdivision". However, Subsection D immediately following
indicates that the foregoing quoted section should not be
construed to preclude an owner from applying for an exemption
pursuant to 20-19(b) when the provisions of that Section
are satisfied.
Section 20-19(b) authorizes the City Council to exempt
any divisions which are not within the intent and purposes
of the Subdivision Regulations. The intent and purposes
of the Subdivision Regulations are set forth in Section
20-2 and are summarized as follows:
(a) to establish standards for subdivision design and
improvements, e.g. standards for roads, paving,
signs, lighting, drainage, curbs, etc.
(b) to improve land records and survey monuments by
establishing standards for plats, survey monuments,
etc.
(c) to safeguard the interests of the public and of
the subdivider and to provide consumer protection
for the purchaser, e.g. to make sure the purchaser
gets easements and adequate service hook-ups for
utilities access, etc.
Therefore, Subdivision Regulations assure the provision
of certain amenities according to minimum design standards
so that a purchaser from a subdivider can be assured of
getting utility easements, access, etc. It is clear
that the intent and purposes of the Subdivision Regulations
to assure these amenities do not apply to this already
constructed Victorian building which was placed on these
two and one-half city lots. The city lots already have
paved streets, utilities installed and operable and
plat and survey monuments according to the original
townsite plat. The purchaser already has water, sewer
and other utilities in place. Therefore, it is submitted
that the sale of Lots M, N and O and the Victorian building
thereon while technically a subdivision from the continguous
ownership of the lots upon which the Nugget Lodge is
located is not the type of subdivision which is within the
intent and purposes of the Subdivision Regulations.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Aspen City Council
FROM: Planning Office (KS)
RE: ( ARI B4AI ding - Subdivision Exemption
DATE: December 14, 1977
This application requests permission to separate Lots M, N, and part of
0 of Block 58 from Lots P, Q, R, and S and part of 0 now owned by Peter
Koss. Currently they are held in common ownership with the ARI building
located on M through 0 and the Nugget Lodge on P through S. The purpose
of the exemption would be to allow the sale of the ARI building. The
zone district is 0-Office and the lot split would create a conforming
lot (and conforming use) for the ARI building. The Nugget Lodge is a
pre-existing non -conforming use and in being located in the 0 district,
the only way to compute whether the lot is standard -sized is to compare
the FAR to what it would be in the Lodge District. This procedure was
followed for the Scott Subdivision involving a multi -family structure
in the R-6 zone district. We believe that the Nugget would meet the
Lodge FAR given that there are over four lots with a total lot area of
approximately 13,000 square feet. If the floor area of the Nugget
Lodge is 13,000 square feet or less, then it would comply with the Lodge
district's FAR of 1:1. We believe that it does comply and have asked
the applicant to confirm the Nugget's floor area.
Dave Ellis reviewed the improvement survey and, in his -comments dated
December 2nd, 1977, recommends the exemption be granted since the site
"substantially meets all current design standards." He did note that
an appendage (shed -type structure) on the ARI building encroaches on
the alley, but recommends that it be allowed to remain until such time
as it interferes with public uses in the alley.
The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval of the exemp-
tion at their December 6th meeting, without conditions. There is no
park dedication fee required for office or lodge development.
An improvement survey will be brought to the meeting.
