RE:
Murphy Subdivision Exception, Block 91, Hallam's Addition
Having reviewed the improvement survey map for the above sub-
division exception and made a site inspection, the Engineering De-
partment recommends the following:
1) That the improvement survey as submitted by the owner/
applicant be accepted as a conceptual plat.
2) We recommend that the owner/applilcant fdllow section 20-
14 of the final plat procedure and submit a final plat for re-
view by the Engineering Department per section 20-15 prior to
being placed on the City Council agenda. Some items missing
from the current plat are as follows:
A) Show centerline and edge of pavement on Lake and Gil-
lespie Avenues.
B) Note encroachment of cribbing into Gillespie R.O.W.
C) Show proposed construction.
D) Show on-site parking.
E) Indicate all monuments found and set.
F) Location map (1" = 400').
G) Zoning on and adjacent to property.
H) Certificate of title insurance or attorney's certificate
as disclosure of ownership.
3) Owner/applicant should supply an encroachment agreement
for support cribbing in R.O.W. The agreement should provide
for removal of the cribbing by the owner if requested by the
City.
The Engineering Department recommends conceptual approval of
the Murphy Subdivision Exception subject to the owner/applicant
correcting the above conditions.

RE:
Murphy Subdivision Exception, Block 91, Hallam's
Addition
Having reviewed the corrected subdivision exception plat, I
find the following:
In a memorandum from Jay Hammond, Engineering, to Sunny Vann,
Planning Office, dated January 11, 1980, certain corrections
were requested to be made to the plat before it would be sub-
mitted to the City Council.
The following three items were requested but have not been
corrected as of this date:
1. The centerline for Lane and Gillespie Avenues should
be shown. This can be overlooked as it is a small
item.
2. The parking requirements shown is not adequate for
the proposed two-story house as shown. John willer,
of Copland and Hagman Architects, said they do not
have the drawings for the house shown. The proposed
house shown should be removed from the plat.
3. The encroachment agreement for cribbing and planters
in the streets are still required.

Re: C.F. Murphy Associates, Inc.
Gent lemen:
We are requesting an exception from strict application of
the subdivision regulations as set forth in Section 20-19
of the Subdivision Code for the City of Aspen. The record
owner of the subject property is C.F. Murphy Associates, Inc.
The subject property is described on attached Exhibit A,
and comprises 14,200 square feet.
The owner's purpose in subdividing its property is to
create a 7,200.16 sq.ft. tract on the easterly part of
the land, which will be used to construct a modest two-
story dwelling which will serve as Mr. Murphy's personal
residence. The existing two-story wood frame house located
on the westerly tract, comprising 6,999.83 sq. ft. , wi 11
remain in the company's ownership. The existing one-
story shed shown on the easterly tract will be razed
to allow construction of the new residence.
We might point out that there exists a tennis court at
the north part of the property which spans both proposed
tracts. Mr. Murphy is willing to do whatever may be
required in this regard, and since he will still own both
lots, this can perhaps best be handled by granting perpetual
use easements between the two lots.
Very truly yours,
Copland Hagman Yaw Ltd

MEMORANDUM

FROM: Sunny Vann, Planning Office
RE: Murphy Final Plat
DATE: October 20, 1980 d
APPROVED AS TO FORM: ~ 1d I {'
Background
As the attached lette pplicant is requesting an exception
from the strict applic on of the Ci y's subdivision regulations in order
to subdivide a 14,200 square foot parcel of land located on Gillespie Avenue
(Block 92, Hallam's Addition). The applicant wishes to divide the parcel
into two tracts, creating an approximately 7,200 square foot lot on which
to build a new residence and a 7,000 square foot lot on which the applicant's
existing single-family dwelling is located.
While the proposed lots meet the minimum lot area requirement of 6,000 square
feet applicable in the R-6 zone, insufficient frontage exists along Gillespie
Avenue to meet the zone's minimum lot width requirement of 60 feet. In
addition, the applicant's existing residence does not meet the zone's mini-
mum side yard requirement. Pursuant to Section 20-9(c), "no subdivision shall
be approved which includes elements not in conformance with the provisions of
any applicable zoning ordinance." The applicant, however, has obtained
variances from the Board of Adjustment addressing both the minimum lot width
and side yard requirements.
On April 8, 1980, the Planning and Zoning Commission approved the applicant's
request for subdivision exception subject to the following conditions:
1. The applicant's improvement survey being accepted as a conceptual
plat.
2. The applicant submitting a final plat to the Engineering Department
pursuant to Sections 20-14 and 20-15 of the Municipal Code prior
to being placed on the City Council agenda. Additional items to
be addressed by the applicant were outlined in the Department's
attached memorandum dated January 11, 1980.
3. Theapplicant supplying an encroachment agreement for the support
cribbing located in the City's right-of-way.
4. The proposed new residence being subject to the six-month minimum
lease restrictions of 20-22.
Recommendation
The Engineering Department and the Planning Office have reviewed the appli-
cant's final plat and encroachment agreement and have found everything to
be in order. The encroachment agreement is included in your packet as a
separate item and is scheduled for disposition under your consent agenda.
A copy of the final plat will be available for your review at your Monday
meeting. The Planning Office recommends approval of the applicant's final
plat subject to the execution of a six-month minimum lease agreement prior
to issuance of a building permit for the proposed new residence. Should
you concur, the appropriate motion is as follows:
"I move to approve the C.F. Murphy final plat subject to the execution of
an appropriate six-month minimum lease agreement prior to issuance of a
building permit for the proposed new residence."

RE: Murphy Subdivision Exception
DATE: April 4, 1980
As the attached letter indicates, the applicant is requesting an exception
from the strict application of the City's subdivision regulations in order to
subdivide a 14,200 square foot parcel of land located on Gillespie Avenue

into two tracts, creating an approximately 7,200 square foot lot on which to
build a new residence and a 7,000 square foot lot on which the applicant's
existing single-family dwelling is located.
While the proposed lots meet the minimum lot area requirement of 6,000 square
feet applicable in the R-6 zone, insufficient frontage exists along Gillespie
Avenue to meet the zone's minimum lot width requirement of 60 feet. In
addition, the applicant's existing residence does not meet the zone's mini-
mum side yard requirement. Pursuant to Section 20-9(c). "No subdivision
shall be approved which includes elements notin conformance with the provi-
sions of any applicable zoning ordinance..." The applicant, however, has
obtained variances from the Board of ,Adjustment addressing both the minimum
lot width and side yard requirements. ~
The Engineering Department therefore recommends theithe applicant's request
for exception from full subdivision procedures be approved subject to the

3. The applicant ~upplying an encroachment agreement for the support
cribbing located in the City's right-of-way.
The Planning Office concurs with the Engineering Department's recommendation

Fred made the motion that the action of the assistant
building inspector, in revoking the building permit,
be upheld. Francis seconded the motion. Each member
was polled for their decision: John Herz, not allowec
to vote; Francis, yes; Josephine, yes; Remo, yes;
Charles, yes; Fred, yes. Unanimous decision that the
request be denied.
Case 80-2
Rick Head
Having appeared before the Board on February 14, 198C
the case had been tabled in order to get the opinion
of the City Attorney regarding the legal status of tf.<
lot; whether it had been sold illegally.
"'.
'.
.
Ron Stock said he had reviewed the minutes of April 7
1977 (for Board of Adjustment), when the variance had
been granted originally, but that he was unaware of
the fact that it had been sold illegally. The Board
confirmed that it was an illegal sale evident in the
minutes of the meeting in 1977. The minutes indicate,
that Fred had stated, "It was illegal to convey a
nonconforming piece of propert. If it happens,
you can have the sale set aside."
The original sale of the property happened 20 years a
(1960) when the Marolts subdivided the property and
conveyed it to a relative. The ordinance concerning
subdividing property less than 6,000 square feet was
adopted in 1956. Four years subsequent to that ordin
ance, the property was subdiv.ided.
Ruling upon this condition, Ron said that a doctrine
of equity called "latches" meant that so much time ha
elapsed with Knowledge of the City, that the City" ,\1
not allow the Board to challenge the illegal sal~.
Josephine made the motion to grant a variance for al.
addition to an existing single family dwelling on a
lot below minimum size because of the hardship that j
was subdivided illegally 20 years ago. Fred seconde(
the motion; all in favor, motion granted.

Murphy/Copeland,
Hagman, Yaw
Remo read the application for a variance from Aspen
Municipal Code, Article VIII, Section 24-8.13 to all(
the applicant (C.F. Murphy) to subdivide his propert~
into two parcels. The subdivision will leave one of
the parcels with a lot width of 59 feet. The minimum
required lot width is 60 feet. This according to
Section 24-3.4, Area and Bulk Requirements, R-6 Zonil
District.
Jim Copeland made his presentation for the applicant
Mr. Murphy. Confurring with his client, and as the
architect for this project, they decided they wanted
to subdivide the property and build another Victoria
building. They would then be creating one legal 60
foot width lot, and one nonconforming lot of 59 feet
The nonconforming lot would have the existing buildi
on it. The conforming ,lot would not have anything 0
it at this time.

Attorney Boots Ferguson was also present on behalf 0
the applicant. He discussed existing conditions and
what they wanted to do with the property. He said t
part of the difficulty with the case were the descre
encies in the surveys that had been done over a peri
of time. Mr. James Reser's survey is the one that h
been used for this case. It indicated that it was 0
foot short of the minimum width (60 feet). Mr. Rese
submitted a letter to Clayton Meyring, building ins~
tor, stating that although he felt his survey was
. ,';.l';
--~~'--

..,
",",,,/
t
accurate, the monuments set by Gerard Pesman would
place the west line of the Murphy property three feet
west of Mr. Reser's survey. This would have made the
lo~ two feet larger than required. This letter from
Mr. Reser dated January 30, 1980.
Mr. Ferguson said that it was difficult to decide whicl
survey to use but rather than create future problems,
it would be best to get the descrepency resolved at -::h:
this point. It was felt that they should use the 59
foot width lot rather than the 62 foot lot to be safe.
ROll concurred that there are survey descrepencies but
that the federal government has resurveyed the Meets
and Bounds mining claim line as of last year. This
will directly affect the surveys done in the northern
section of the City where this property is located.
Francis added that he thought the intent of the City
in requiring 60 foot widths was based upon 100 foot
depth so that there would be 6,000 square feet. Both
lots are well over that in square footage. There is
a practical difficulty because of survey errors, but
it will not damage the general plan or neighborhood.
.
Two letters from neighbors were read. Lydia Marquand
and Ann Altemus wrote letters in objection to the
variance.
Mr. Copeland responded to the letters stating that
the case was before the Board of Adjustment not for a
subdivision, but as a nonconforming lot.
Remo suggested to Mr. Copeland and Mr. Ferguson that
they approach the people in the neighborhood to clarif
and reassure them of their intentions.
Fred made the motion to grant the requested variance t
create a nonconforming lot as shown on the plat due
to the hardship created by descrepencies in the orig-
inal annexation survey and because each lot is sub-
stantially larger than the minimum 6,000 square feet
required. The motion was seconded by Francis. All
were in favor; motion granted.
Board COlIUllents
Remo asked about expired terms. Ron said that he

they remain on the Board. Their letters of applicatio
would then be submitted to City Council on March 24

the Posting Requirements of Ordinance 12. He asked
that Ron clarify the wording as far as what is meant
by "seen". Remo requested that this word be replaced
by "readable" from such a street or highway. No one
should have to trespass on anyone's property to read-
the sign.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Aspen Planning and Zoning Commission
FROM: Sunny Vann, Planning Office
RE: Murphy Subdivision Exception
DATE: April 4, 1980
As the attached letter indicates, the applicant is requesting an exception
from the strict application of the City's subdivision regulations in order to
subdivide a 14,200 square foot parcel of land located on Gillespie Avenue
(Block 91, Hallam's Addition). The applicant wishertPto divide the parcel
into two tracts, creating an approximately 7,200 square foot lot on which to
build a new residence and a 7,000 square foot lot on which the applicant's
existing single-family dwelling is located.
While the proposed lots meet the minimum lot area requirement of 6,000 square
feet applicable in the R-6 zone, insufficient frontage exists along Gillespie
Avenue to meet the zone's minimum lot width requirement of 60 feet. In
addition, the applicant's existing residence does not meet the zone's mini-
mum side yard requirement. Pursuant to Section 20-9(c), "No subdivision
shall be approved which includes elements not in conformance with the provi-
sions of any applicable zoning ordinance..." The applicant, however, has
obtained variances from the Board of Adjustment addressing both the minimum
lot width and side yard requirements. \
The Engineering Department therefore recommends th& the applicant's request
for exception from full subdivision procedures be approved subject to the
fo 11 owi ng:
1. The applicant's improvement survey being accepted as a conceptual
plat.
2. The applicant submitting a final plat to the Engineering Depart-
ment pursuant to Sections 20-14 and 15 of the Municipal Code prior
to being placed on the City Council agenda. Additional items to
be addressed by the applicant are outlined in the Department's
attached memorandum dated January 11, 1980.
3. The applicant supplying an encroachment agreement for the support
cribbing located in the City's right-of-way.
The Planning Office concurs with the Engineering Department's recommendation
with the additional stipulation that the proposed new residence be subject
to the 6-month minimum lease restriction of Section 20-22.

Re: C.F. Murphy Associates, Inc.
Gentlemen:
We are requesting an exception from strict application of
the subdivision regulations as set forth in Section 20-19
of the Subdivision Code for the City of Aspen. The record
owner of the subject property is C.F. Murphy Associates, Inc.
The subject property is described on attached Exhibit A,
and comprises 14,200 square feet.
The owner's purpose in subdividing its property is to
create a 7,200.16 sq.ft. tract on the easterly part of
the land, which will be used to construct a modest two-
story dwelling which will serve as Mr. Murphy's personal
residence. The existing two-story wood frame house located
on the westerly tract, comprising 6,999.83 sq.ft., will
remain in the company's ownership. The existing one-
story shed shown on the easterly tract will be razed
to allow construction of the new residence.
We might point out that there exists a tennis court at
the north part of the property which spans both proposed
tracts. Mr. Murphy is willing to do whatever may be
required in this regard, and since he will still own both
lots, this can perhaps best be handled by granting perpetual
use easements between the two lots.
Very truly yours,
Copland Hagman Yaw Ltd

Re: C. F. Murphy Associates, Inc.
Gentlemen:
We are requesting an exception from strict application of the
subdivision regulations as set forth in Section 20-19 of the
Subdivision Code for the City of Aspen. The record owner of
the subject property is C. F. Murphy Associates, Inc. The
subject property is described on attached Exhibit A, and com-
prises 14,200 square feet.
The owner's purpose in subdividing its property is to create
an 8,200 sq. ft. tract on the easterly part of the land, which
will be used to construct a modest two-story dwelling which
will serve as Mr. Murphy's personal residence. The existing
two-story wood frame house located on the westerly tract, com-
prising 6,000 sq. ft. , wi 11 remain in the company's ownership.
The existing one-story shed shown on the easterly tract will
be razed to allow construction of the new residence.
We feel that it is the "substantial property right" of every
landowner whose property is located in an R-6 zone, to be
allowed to build a single family residential structure for
each 6,000 sq.ft. of property. The property under consideration
has square footage of over that required for a standard lot
split (i.e., four contiguous City lots into two single family
sites), the only difference being that the property does not
have the regular boundaries that make other lot splits obvious.
Our request is in strict compliance with existing zoning codes,
and, consequently, no adjacent land owner will be adversely
affected.
