This property is zoned R-6 and contains 9,000 square feet. In the R-6 Zone District, an additional unit is allowed for each 4500 square feet of land area. However, this property constitutes as valid non -conforming use. The application was referred to Clayton Meyring, Building Inspector. Clay- ton has verified the non -conforming status of this property and the exis- tance of valid building permits for the construction of all three units. Until 1974, the small unit located in the garage at the rear of the property was used as a veterinarian's clinc. This was a legal conversion, in that it reduced an existing non -conformity. The application was referred to the City Engineering Department which made the following comments, "After having reviewed the improvement survey and making a field inspection of this project, the Engineering Department finds only one major deficiency as far as the subdivision design standards are concerned. The property is within the City's master planned area for side- walks, and although there is curb and gutter, there is not a sidewalk. We recommend granting of the exemption for condominiumization subject to con- struction of five foot sidewalks on both Second and Hopkins frontage. We feel this is a reasonable request in that there is existing sidewalk immed- iately to the north on Second Street and at a good many locations further west on Hopkins Avenue." The Planning Office has received a letter from Kay Reed of Reed Real Estate and Rentals which verifies the fact that the duplex has been handled by this firm for short term rentals off -and -on, since 1968. At the present time both units of the duplex are vacant as their interiors are being remodeled. The third unit, which is in the garage which was previously used as a veterinarian's clinc, is presently rented by Mr. John Kohler, of Sunshine Landscaping. In the application, the applicants submit that, if condo- miniumization is approved, the supply of low and moderate income housing will not be reduced, but, in fact, will increase by virtue of the applicants compliance with Ordinance #53 requirements regarding long-term leases. Mark Danielsen has recommended approval of this subdivision exemption request provided the applicants are willing to agree to a 90-day right of first re- fusal and six month minimum lease term for all three units as provided by Ordinance #53. The Aspen Planning and Zoning Commission reviewed this application at their regular meeting on August 1, 1978, and recommended approval of the subdi- vision exemption request subject to an improvement agreement for the con- struction of five foot sidewalks on both Second and Hopkins Streets front- age and to requirements of Ordinance #53 as described by the Housing Director. sr APPLICATION FOR EXEMPTION FROM SUBDIVISION REQUIRE14ENTS On behalf of Diana H. Beuttas, Deborah S. Hatch and Christopher H. Smith, application is hereby made for exemption from subdivision requirements for the proposed condominiumization of three units located at 234 West Hopkins, Aspen, Colorado. Applicants submit that it would be reasonable to exempt this proposed condominiumization from subdivision requirements in that only three units are involved, and that granting the exemptior would not be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to other property in the area in which the subject property is situated. The subject property, Lots K , L , and M Block 52 Aspen, is zoned R-6 and contains 9000 square feet. There are three units on the property. Units 1 and 2 are each two -bedroom apartments, containing approximately 1100 and 1900 square feet respectively. Unit 3 is a one -bedroom unit, containing approxi- mately 456 square feet, with a storage area of 72 square feet. The three units constitute a valid non -conforming use. The property is located in an area which contains lodges end other high density uses. Applicants have owned the property since 1968. It may be recalled that at one time Unit 3 was a veterinarian's office, which was terminated in 1974, thereby substantially reducing traffic, noise, etc. Unit 3 has been rented long-term since then. Units 1 and 2 have been short -termed, through a local realtor. No-one presently accupies Units 1 and 2, as the interiors are being remodeled. kpplicants submit that, if condominiumization is approved, the supply of low and moderate income housing will not be reduced but, in fact, will be increased by virtue of applicants compliance with Drdinance 53's requirements re long-term leases. Thus, instead "of one long-term and two short-term situations, there would be rT, three long-term housing situations. Because the buildings are existing, have all utilities, have no engineering problems, etc., it is submitted that the requested subdivision is not within the intent and purpose of the City's subdivision regulations and should be approved.

Danielsen, Housing Director RE: A. Frishman Subdivision Exemption B. Beuttas Subdivision Exemption FIA-i E : August 14, 1978 A. Frishman Subdivision Exemption: Recommendation is for approval due to the fact that the Frishmans do intend to occupy the same unit as before and will continue to lease the new unit to the Aspen Institute. As there will be no tenant displacement Ordinance 53 is satisfied and approval should contain the appropriate 90 day Right of First Refusal, 6 month relocation time for existing tenants (if any), and 6 month minimum lease terms. B. Beuttas Subdivision Exemption: Of the three units on the property, two have been short - termed. The third unit has been rented on a long term basis to John Kohlar and Ronnie Linquist, employees of Sunshine Landscaping and Aspen Leaf, respectively. They have paid $325.00/month plus utilities for the one bedroom unit. Recommendation is for approval provided that the current tenants be given a 90 day Right of First Refusal, be given a 6 month relocation period if necessary, and that all three units have a 6 month minimum lease.

RG:sr -40 40 MEMO TO: RICHARD GRICE PLANNING FROM: DAVE ELLIS ENGINEERING 1T DATE: July 11, 1978 RE: Subdivision Exemption Request - Lots K - M, Block 52, Original Aspen Townsite (Buettas) After having reviewed the improvement survey and making a field inspection of this project the engineering department finds only one major deficiency as far as the subdivision design standards are concerned. The property is within the City's master planned area for sidewalks,and although there is curb and gutter, there is not sidewalk. We recommend granting of the exemption for condominiumization subject to construction of five foot sidewalk on both Second and Hopkins frontage. We feel this is reasonable in that there is existing sidewalk immediately to the north on Second Street and at a good many locations further west on Hopkins Avenue. Although there are several minor encroachments into both the street right-of-way and alley right-of-way, we do not foresee any major problem here, particularly since they are noted on the improvement survey as encroachments. jk do 0 M E M O R A N D U M TO: Marc Danielson Dave Ellis FROM: Richard Grice RE: Beuttas Subdivision Exemption DATE: June, 13, 1978 This applicant is seeking to condominiumize the three units located on this property.
