Dear Diane:
I am once again writing on behalf of Larry Brooks, owner of the Katie Reed
Plaza. Larry has been negotiating with a prospective tenant who would like to
open a restaurant in the brick victorian. According to Brook Peterson, who
represents the prospective tenant, he was looking into building code
considerations recently on behalf of his client and apparently a question was
raised about whether a restaurant would be permitted in the victorian. The
question had to do with the restaurant definition, which states that "a
restaurant shall be required to have service delivery access from an alley or
other off-street service delivery area".
I believe this language was incorporated in the Code, in light of the relatively
high service requirements of restaurants, to assure that restaurants would not
be permitted where they could only be serviced from the street. That is not
the case at the Katie Reed Plaza, where service delivery access from the alley
clearly has been provided for. Larry always made it clear throughout the
review process that service to the victorian would be from the service area on
the alley, through the common area and across the courtyard between the
new building and the victorian to the rear entry of the victorian.
Larry intends to incorporate a provision in the lease requiring any tenant of
the victorian to service the space in this way, and never from the street,
regardless of the use which ultimately takes the space. This issue did come up
during the P&Z's consideration of our Special Review application and once
we explained how the building would be serviced, it was no longer an issue to
the P&Z. I am attaching a copy of those minutes for your review.
The prospective tenant has suggested that Larry should be responsible for
getting a determination from the Planning Office on this issue. Once you've
had a chance to look over the minutes, could you give me a call to discuss this
matter?

and surrounding it. The Lily Reid building will be completely
restored to it's original state. That does a couple of things.
#1 it permeates the Lily Reid bldg. Instead of being seen between
2 ovorscaled buildings as a single facade we now see it in all it's
3 dimensions with pedestrian space around it. Secondly the way we
have used the corner we have created a very special corner in Aspen
relating to the open space here and creating pedestrian space
around the Lily Reid bldg and around the corner. It also, by
putting the Lily Reed bldg here, helps create a transition from the
scale of the downtown to the scale of the residential areas.
In fact paring it up the Lily Reid with the victorian on the corner
kind of sentinels the transition. As well the scale of the City
has been brought down to the residential. As well the building has
been designed to step back to allow sun and to also give a relief
background for the lower scale Lily Reed bldg.
We have reviewed this with HPC in terms of materials and colors.
They were very excited about it and supportive of it and, in a
nutshell, the things that we talked about we came through on in the
final form of the architecture.
? Is that a parapet on top of whatever that is there? Am I
looking at a gable there?
?: It is the elevator. It is where the elevator comes up instead -
Roxanne: That was added at final.
?: It was on the original model as originally shown to you.
Sara: How do you get to downstairs? To the basement.
?: The stair up to the second levels here and the stair down is
this right there directly oft the plaza level. And of course the
elevator at this location is straight down.
Roger: I am interested in the service to it. Is there a service
access to a potential restaurant in the basement?
?: Service access directly to a service elevator right up here
that goes directly to the basement. It does not go up. It goes
down to --that is strictly service. There is another elevator --
passenger.
Roger: Because we are reducing the service area how are you going
to handle the trash? But before I get to that --service to the
retail facilities in the Lily Reed house. It looks like it is from
the allay through this space.

?: No. Lily Reed to what extent this is a 600ft--
Roger: Right. I assume it is going to be a T-shirt shop or
something or whatever retail space or ice cream parlor or what have
you. How are you planning service to the retail facility?
?: It will be directly off here. It can be brought from the
location back here through the building.
Roger: That in what we would prefer. Is there an entrance to that
facility that they can access off that little mall in the back as
opposed to coming around to the front door?
?t Is there a rear entrance to this building? There is a side
access. It is off the sidewalk there. We went through this with
HPC and they did not want to allow us any other openings than what
is already there.
Roger: If HPC says no other doors but those 2 doors, OK. But I
want it put on the record that service to that should be off of
the alley and not off the street. My worry is that service is
going to be off the street where that door is to Monarch. So can
you confirm that the service is going to be through--
?: It can be operational req
uirement quirement if that is part of the deal
you make with them.
Welton: Would you like to make that a condition *11 that service
access to Lily Reed House be from the alley through the house?
Gideon: 0K.
There are 2 conditions I would like to talk about. #6 we would
like some ability to just put in there if it is required by the
code we would like an opportunity to look into that to see whether
in fact we are required to give up the well and so we would like
the ability to check that out.
Welton: Asked if there any objections to adding to the and of #6
"If required by code".
Gideon: And then #1. But we are going to wait to discuss the
employee housing at one time. Then we don't have any other
problems with #1 through #11.
MOTION
Welton: There is 3 items to be taken tonight. The first is I
would entertain a motion to move to approve the special review for
the reduction in open space and utility trash service area with the

conditions the same as the Planning Office memo dated April 16,
1991 with condition #6 having it required by code as the and of it
and condition #11 be added that service to the Lily Reid house as
being off the alley and not from the street.
Roger: I will so move.
Bruce seconded the motion.
Sara: Asked about snowmelt and the expense.
Welton: It is not that expensive. When it comes right down to it
the actual cost can be less than comparable to hiring somebody
driving from Rifle to do the shoveling.
Everyone then voted in favor of the motion.
Welton: The next approval is for GMQS exemption for expansion of
an historic landmark pending the interpretation of city council.
XOTION
Roger: I so move.
Welton asked the applicant if they had any problem with those
condition.
Gideon: #3 which again we talk about 8 and I need to talk about
on the housing because there are some other things that we are
going to discuss later.
Walton: I think I may have a way of handling that item once we
get to the approval..
Mari seconded the motion with all in favor.
Welton: It seems like you are trying to do some things that are
outside of the approved guidelines of the Housing Authority. Now
anybody who can figure out what the approved guidelines of the
Housing Authority are has got to be a genius. Their
qualifications, their guidelines, the size of the units, the type
of housing is so chameleon -like that I --when I deal with my clients
I say "The only thing you can do is sit down with them at least a
half dozen times and you hash out on approved plan with the Housing
Authority because you can't anticipate from reading anything what
the rules are going to say as to what is approvable and ghat is
not".
Sara: Do they have to mitigate employees for what is going to get
landmark designation?

RE: Comments on GMP Application - 309 E. Hopkins
ENERGY CONSERVATION COMMENTS
The insulation levels specified for the structure are far
above standard and the developer deserves praise for this
action. Their attention to detail with sealing the building
envelope and the use of high quality doors/windows will
greatly enhance the overall energy efficiency of the project.
Although the particular mechanical system is not specified,
their discussion on this aspect makes us confident they will
provide a very energy efficient system.
It is refreshing to see attention paid to water conservation
and the energy demands of water heating. Once again, the
project deserves commendation for this approach.
The use of low-E glazing will improve comfort levels while
saving energy. On the other hand, it will also decrease the
amount of passive solar energy gains. The discussion on
interior wall finishes and thermal mass indicates an
awareness and sensitivity to the benefits of using solar
energy. Without further details, it is very hard to define
the overall contribution of solar energy.
It is obvious that the project team has expertise in the
fields of energy conservation and solar energy design. Based
on the limited details in the application, this appears to be
one of the best projects we have reviewed, in terms of overall
attention to energy use. The only complaint we have is with
the snowmelt sidewalk but we realize that in the "real world"
there are other concerns besides energy conservation.
In summary, the project is sensitive to energy efficiency
which should lead to the construction of a building that uses
energy wisely. We can only hope that this project will
become the norm for future developments. It was a pleasure
to review. We look forward to seeing the exact products and
systems that are utilized, if the project is built.

EMPLOYEE HOUSING:
This application has two areas of employee generation that produce
an employee housing commitment of 3.8 emps.
COMMERCIAL (1,234 SQ. FT.) - The applicant is proposing to
construct 2,134 sq. ft. of net leasable retail and office space.
The applicant states that there exists 900 sq. ft. of leasable

I. COMMERCIAL GMP SUBMISSION
A. Description of Proposal.
This is an Application for Commercial GMP allotment under
§8-106(F) of the Municipal Code of the City of Aspen
(hereinafter "the Code").
The existing commercial building on the site will be
relocated to a site at the Aspen Center for Environmental
Studies and restored to its residential use and original
facade. A new building will be constructed to blend with and
complement the adjacent commercial buildings. The basic
intentions of the design of the project are to relate to the
existing adjacent buildings, as well as to the general
environment of the adjacent commercial district in scale,
massing, proportion and materials.
In a special effort to work within the HPC guidelines,
careful attention has been given to avoiding the imitation or
compromising of the established character of the building's
neighbors. In particular, the setbacks relate to both adjacent
buildings, the massing has been stepped back, recessed
entrances are proposed, and the rhythm for the fenestration of
this building is tied to adjacent structures. The new building
is seen as a clean and quiet structure which will be viewed as
a complement to the adjacent structures.
The FAR limitation in the CC zone district is 1.5:1 or
4,500 sq. ft. The ratio may be increased to 2.0:1, or up to
6,000 sq. ft. by Special Review (Art. 7, Div. 4), if 60% of the
bonus square footage, or 900 sq. ft., is on -site affordable
housing. The square footage of on -site affordable housing
is 903 sq. ft.,Iin excess of the required percentage.

Commercial GMP Procedures request written information
covering twelve areas of concern, as follows:
1. Water System. Water will continue to be
supplied by the existing 6" City water main in Hopkins which
- 1 -
has approximately 100 P.S.I. Estimated increased demand will
be minimal as only five (5) restrooms are anticipated in the
new building which will replace a half bathroom in the existing
building. Adequate capacity is available to service this
project with its demand of under 1,000 gallons per day.
2. Sewage System. The project is served by the
existing 8" Aspen Consolidated Sanitation District line in the
alley to the south of the site. Impact on the system resulting
from the additional five (5) restrooms is negligible. Adequate
capacity is available to service this project with its demand
of under 1,000 gallons per day.
3. Drainage System. On -site storm drainage for the
proposal will comply with current City standards. Presently,
water from the site flows to the curb and gutter system in
Hopkins Street and then to the northwest.
4. Fire Protection System. The building will be
only one block from the Aspen Fire Station, with a response
time of less than five (5) minutes. There is a fire hydrant at
the northwest corner of both Hopkins Street intersections to
the east and west of the building.
5. Development Summary. The proposed project is a
commercial/office/residential building, including one (1)
employee unit, one (1) two -bedroom accessory free-market unit,
one (1) office and commercial space. Office and commercial
uses are permitted as uses by right, and the residential use is
a conditional use. The height of the building is well within
the height limitations -for the zone district and the FAR is
within that permitted l special review.
6. Estimated Traffic Count Increases. In order to
estimate increased daily traffic on adjacent streets resulting
from the proposal, we have utilized the guidelines of the 1985
County Road Standards; the increased number of trips has been
estimated as twenty-six (26) one-way trips
Two off-street parking spaces will be provided. The
balance of the off-street parking required will be by a
payment -in -lieu estimated at $60,000. All RFTA bus routes are
within two (2) blocks of the proposal; the Rubey Park Transit
Center is three (3) blocks to the Southeast (See Vicinity Map).
No bike paths are provided through the Commercial Core.
The location of the project is the greatest
disincentive to auto use. The site is within comfortable
walking distance of the majority of accommodations in the
City's lodge districts.
7. Affordable Housing. One (1) one -bedroom 903 sq.
ft. moderate -income employee unit will be provided on -site.
The relocated Berko House will provide an additional
- 2 -
Bicyclists are required to use the streets
through the commercial core, as no bike trails are anticipated
in this area under this master plan. Because the existing bike
racks installed in the immediate area of the project are
clearly sufficient to meet the needs of both the project and
the immediate neighborhood, we propose to install a bike rack
in an alternate location where the City has identified that
there is a need for one.
(e) Visual Impact. The height of the building
has been established to not only relate to the addition but to
architectural elements of the neighboring buildings, and also
to minimize the visual impact of the project.
It is important to note that the height of the
building (approximately 33%, feet to the parapet) is well below
the 40 foot height limit in the CC zone district. In addition,
the Hotel Jerome Viewplane, one of a number established to
Protect Mountain views from obstruction from designated parks
and other public places, is higher than the zoning height limit
when it crosses over the site some 45 above the ground plane.
This is the only viewplane which extends over the project site.
We believe the project is totally consistent
with established community goals relative to visual
compatibility, as evidenced by the height limit established for
the area and the absence of other limitations on height
established through the creation of viewplanes.
The HPC agreed that the vertical element of the
n'LOp� building breaks the horizontal mass of the Mill Street Plaza
and provides visual relief.
(f) Trash and Utility Access Areas. We have
included an analysis of trash service area requirements for the
project, and a comparison to the actual area provided, in
Section II.D., where we are requesting approval of a reduction
in required area. While the overall area available is adequate
to meet that required, the area set aside for trash facilities,
approximately 8',' wide x 121,' deep, does not meet the minimum
requirement of the Code, which is twenty (20) linear feet with
a depth of ten feet (101). A gate is provided as a visual
screen of the trash area.
Comparison to the Mill Street Plaza project adjacent
to the site is helpful in determining whether trash storage
proposed for this project is adequate. That project includes
28,000 square feet of retail and office space, including three
(3) restaurants and an additional 1,500 square feet of
restricted housing. Four (4) dumpsters are provided, or one
(1) dumpster for each 7,000 square feet of commercial space.
In comparison, the proposal for this project includes
one (1) dumpster for 2,100 square feet of commercial and retail
- 7 -
space. In addition, no restaurants are presently proposed in
the project. This compares quite favorably with the trash
facilities provided with the Mill Street Plaza.
The Applicant will schedule extra trash pick-ups
at additional cost if trash generation is a problem during peak
times, such as during the Christmas Season.
2. Availability of Public Facilities and Services.
(a) Water supply/Fire Protection. The Aspen
Water Department has confirmed that adequate capacity exists to
provide for the needs of the project without system extensions
or upgrading. Water service will be provided through the
existing 6" City water main in Hopkins. Estimated increased
demand will be minimal, as only three (3) half-restrooms and
two (2) full restrooms are being added, replacing one (1)
restroom. The Applicant commits to the payment of fees
associated with the fixtures added as a result of the project.
Fire protection service to the project can be
provided without the necessity of upgrading fire protection
facilities. The Fire Department is one block from the project,
and response time is estimated to be less than five minutes.
Existing fire hydrants at the northwest corner
of Hopkins and Monarch and at the northwest corner of Hopkins
and Mill provide adequate coverage for fire protection without
further upgrading of fire protection facilities. Water
pressure and capacity is adequate for fire protection flow.
In discussing water service in the area of the
project with Jim Markalunas, Director of the Water Department,
it is clear that water service is more than adequate in the
area of the site. Therefore, we have discussed the possibility
of adding a main extension to serve a new hydrant at the corner
of Main and Hunter Street. This is a location that has been
identified by the Water Department as an area with inadequate
hydrant coverage as well as a location for a needed main
interconnect between the Hopkins Avenue and Main Street water
lines.
mainextension Applicant is prepared to commit to -install -the--)
�__ n and hy�dr_a_n_t_� Since t e location is not in the
immediate vicinity of the project, however, it is unclear
whether the applicant will be awarded additional points.
Therefore, this commitment is conditioned an award by the
Planning and Zoning Commission in excess of 1.5 points, since
it is clear that the project merits a score of one (1) point
without this additional improvement. The main extension and
hydrant will not only increase fire protection in the area, but
will also serve as a first step toward the interconnect desired
by the Water Department. _-
(b) Sanitary Sewer. The Aspen Consolidated
Sanitation District has confirmed that the capacity of the
existing sewage collection system is adequate to accommodate
the project. Sewer service will continue to be provided
through the existing 8" District line in the alley to the south
of the site.
This line flows to the west and connects to a 8"
main in First Street which continues to the north toward the
treatment plant. The Sanitation District has budgeted
approximately $165,000 to upgrade this latter section of sewer
line this fall.
In order to improve sanitary sewer service in
the area, the Applicant proposes to contribute $5,000 toward
the upgrading of the First Street main, to offset District
expenses for this improvement. This commitment is in addition
to the Applicant's commitment to the payment of any fees
Issociated with increased sewer service to the project.
(c) Public Transportation/Roads. The project
is within two blocks of all RFTA bus routes, and within three
blocks of the Rubey Park Transit Center. The site is also
little more than one block from Aspen's pedestrian mall.
The primary hours of operation for the
commercial uses in the building will be approximately 9:00 a.m.
to 9:00 p.m. In addition, there are two residential units
on -site; the applicant is requesting the opportunity to rent
the restricted housing unit to qualified employees within the
building. The location of the project assures convenient
vehicular access on existing streets with adequate capacity;
access to proposed parking and for service vehicles will be
from the alley between Mill and Monarch streets.
The daily auto one-way trips generated by the
new project are projected to be twenty-six (26) trips, well
within the capacity of existing streets in the area. This
estimate of trips has been arrived at by using the guidelines
of the 1985 County Road Standards; because of the project
location, these estimates should be relatively high, since the
factors were established for uses in rural locations.
Rates for applicable uses are as follows:
Residential Apartment 3/du x 2 du's = 6 trips
Business Office 8/1,000 sq. ft. x 612 sq.ft. = 5 trips
Retail shops 10/1,000 sq. ft. x 1,522 sq.ft. = 15 trips
TOTAL DAILY TRIPS 26 trips
(d) Storm Drainage. Site topography presently
directs surface drainage into Monarch Street where it is
collected in the existing curb and gutter system and directed
to the northwest of the site. The drainage concept for the
•
E
project is to meet the requirements of the City of Aspen
regulations as described in Section 7-1004C(4)(f). This will
be accomplished by providing on -site detention for site
drainage. Upon approval of the project, a drainage plan will
be prepared by a qualified engineer to assure that the
historical rate of runoff for the 100-year storm event will be
maintained.
Surface drainage will be directed and collected
through surface grading. Area drains will be located in
exterior areas with hard surfaces and collected run-off will be
routed via underground piping to drywell structures designed to
discharge water at the rate of the 100-year storm from the
undeveloped site. For off -site runoff entering the site,
measures will be taken to maintain historic drainage patterns
and flows.
(e) Parking. The proposal is within
comfortable walking distance (1,500 feet) of the majority of
accommodations in the L/TR zone district. In addition, as
stated previously, the project is within two blocks of all RFTA
bus routes. Because of increasing congestion in the commercial
core as a whole, a growing number of Aspen's tourists arrive
and depart the commercial core by taxi.
Consistent with current parking requirements for
the CC zone district, two off-street parking spaces are
included in the proposal. The Applicant is requesting a waiver
of the off-street parking requirement for the one -bedroom
affordable housing unit, as permitted under §5-301(B). The
Applicant proposes to provide the balance of the off-street
parking required for the project through a payment -in -lieu.
The shortfall has been calculated as four (4) spaces, requiring
a payment of $60,000.00. In addition, in order to improve the
availability of public parking in the area, Applicant proposes
to make a payment of an additional $15,000.00 for one (1)
parking space beyond the requirement for the project.
3. Provision of Employee Housing. To meet the
minimum threshold requirements of Commercial GMQS which
applicant commits to, it is necessary to house 60% of the
employees generated. The award for housing 60% is 10 GMQS
points.
Based on the current program of 2,134 sq. ft. of net
leasable retail and office space, less 900 sq. ft. of existing
net leasable space (net new square footage of 1,234 sq. ft.),
and using an employee generation factor of 3.5/1,000 sq. ft. of
net leasable, employee generation for the commercial use is
4.32 employees. The minimum housing requirement at 60% is,
therefore, 2.59 employees.
Using a factor at the bottom of the range for
employee generation in the commercial core, established as 3.5
- 10 -
•
•
to 5.25 employees per 1,000 sq. ft. of net leasable commercial
space, can be justified for two reasons. First, the project is
at the fringe of the commercial core, with little likelihood of
attracting the kind of pedestrian traffic which exists on the
Mall. Therefore fewer employees are needed than in comparable
retail space on the Mall. Second, no food or beverage
facilities are proposed for the project; since restaurant
facilities are considered the highest employee generator among
all uses listed in the housing guidelines, a lower number is
justified.
In order to address mitigation for the accessory
residential unit, employee generation for that use is
calculated on the basis of §8-106(D), Residential Development
Standards (see §8-104C[l][d]).
To meet the minimum threshold in the residential
competition, it is necessary that 35% of the population
associated with the residential use be housed under low-income
guidelines as calculated below:
Population of 2-bedroom free-market unit: 2.25 residents ( 65%)
Required Restricted Population: 1.21 residents ( 35%)
Total population: 3.46 residents (100%)
Affordable housing to be provided with the project
includes a 903 sq. ft. one -bedroom unit in the building, and
the relocated Berko house; therefore, housing is provided for
3.5 employees:
1 moderate -income 1-bedroom on -site @ 1.75 = 1.75
1 low-income 1-bedroom (Berko) @ 1.75 = 1.75
3.50
With a total housing requirement of 3.8 employees
(2.59 employees for the commercial space and 1.21 employees for
the residential commitment), the Applicant proposes to address
the shortfall of .3 employees to be housed with
payment -in -lieu. Under moderate -income guidelines, the payment
would be $5,025.00 as follows: .3 employees x
$16,750.00/employee = $5,025.00.
II. SPECIAL REVIEW PROCEDURES
A. Bonus Commercial Square Footage.
The provisions of §5-209D(10) permit up to .5:1 bonus
floor area by Special Review, of which up to .2:1 can be
additional commercial space if the balance of .3:1 is committed
to affordable housing. The construction of 900 sq. ft. of
on -site restricted housing permits consideration of additional
bonus commercial area of up to 600 sq. ft.
Commercial: 2 spaces/1,000 sq. ft. x 2,134 sq. ft. = 4
Required Parking: 6
Parking Provided: 2
Payment -in -Lieu Required: 4 spaces
Parking payment -in -lieu required: $15,000/space x 4 spaces = $60,000
Plus one extra parking space: $15,000 TOTALS: $75,000
D. Reduction in Trash and Utility Access Requirements.
In the CC zone district, a minimum of 20 linear feet (with
a minimum vertical clearance and depth of 10 feet) is required
for a utility/trash service area under the provisions of
§5-209(D) for a project of up to 6,000 sq. ft. of net leasable
floor area.
The utility/trash service area proposed is 8� linear feet
with a depth of 12� feet. The Applicant is requesting special
review consideration by P&Z of the adequacy of the utility
trash service area to serve the proposed expansion.
The review criteria to be considered by P&Z in its
consideration of the appropriateness of a reduction in trash
and utility access requirements (See §7-404C) are as follows:
1. Adequacy of the Proposed Trash/Service Area.
Comparison to the Mill Street Plaza project adjacent
to the site is helpful in determining whether trash storage
proposed for this project is adequate. That project includes
28,000 square feet of retail and office space, including three
(3) restaurants and an additional 1,500 square feet of
restricted housing. Four (4) dumpsters are provided, or one
(1) dumpster for each 7.0P0 s uare feet of commercial space.
In comparison, the proposal for this project includes
one (1) dumpster for 2,100 square feet of commercial and retail
space. In addition, no restaurants are presently proposed in
the project. This compares quite favorably with the trash
facilities provided with the Mill Street Plaza.
2. The Adequacy of Access. The alley behind this
Project is perhaps the most orderly of all the alleys in the
Commercial Core, due to the effectiveness of off -alley trash
storage requirements for new construction. There are presently
no trash storage containers or other significant encroachments
into the alley right-of-way to interfere with access to the
site.
3. Measures to Facilitate Trash Removal. The
proposed trash storage area is well organized, protected from

I. COMMERCIAL GMP SUBMISSION
' A. Description of Proposal.
This is an Application for Commercial GMP allotment under
' §8-106(F) of the Municipal Code of the City of Aspen
(hereinafter "the Code").
'
The existing commercial building on the site will be
relocated to a site at the Aspen Center for Environmental
Studies and restored to its residential use and original
facade. A new building will be constructed to blend with and
t
complement the adjacent commercial buildings. The basic
intentions of the design of the project are to relate to the
existing adjacent buildings, as well as to the general
environment of the adjacent commercial district in scale,
massing, proportion and materials.
In a special effort to work within the HPC guidelines,
'
careful attention has been given to avoiding the imitation or
compromising of the established character of the building's
neighbors. In particular, the setbacks relate to both adjacent
buildings, the massing has been stepped back, recessed
1
entrances are proposed, and the rhythm for the fenestration of
this building is tied to adjacent structures. The new building
'
is seen as a clean and quiet structure which will be viewed as
a complement to the adjacent structures.
The FAR limitation in the CC zone district is 1.5:1 or
4,500 sq. ft. The ratio may be increased to 2.0:1, or up to
6,000 sq. ft. by Special Review (Art. 7, Div. 4), if 60% of the
bonus square footage, or 900 sq. ft., is on -site affordable
housing. The square footage of on -site affordable housing
is 903 sq. ft., in excess of the required percentage.

Commercial GMP Procedures request written information
covering twelve areas of concern, as follows:
1. Water System. Water will continue to be
supplied by the existing 6" City water main in Hopkins which
1
has approximately 100 P.S.I. Estimated increased demand will
be minimal as only five (5) restrooms are anticipated in the
new building which will replace a half bathroom in the existing
building. Adequate capacity is available to service this
project with its demand of under 1,"000 gallons per day.
2. Sewage System. The project is served by the
existing 8" Aspen Consolidated Sanitation District line in the
alley to the south of the site. Impact on the system resulting
from the additional five (5) restrooms is negligible. Adequate
capacity is available to service this project with its demand
of under 1,000 gallons per day.
3. Drainage System. On -site storm drainage for the
proposal will comply with current City standards. Presently,
water from the site flows to the curb and gutter system in
Hopkins Street and then to the northwest.
4. Fire Protection System. The building will be
only one block from the Aspen Fire Station, with a response
time of less than five (5) minutes. There is a fire hydrant at
the northwest corner of both Hopkins Street intersections to
the east and west of the building.
5. Development Summary. The proposed project is a
commercial/office/residential building, including one (1)
employee unit, one (1) two -bedroom accessory free-market unit,
one (1) office and commercial space. Office and commercial
uses are permitted as uses by right, and the residential use is
a conditional use. The height of the building is well within
the height limitations for the zone district and the FAR is
within that permitted by special review.
6. Estimated Traffic Count Increases. In order to
estimate increased daily traffic on adjacent streets resulting
from the proposal, we have utilized the guidelines of the 1985
County Road Standards; the increased number of trips has been
estimated as twenty-six (26) one-way trips.
'
Two off-street parking spaces will be provided. The
balance of the off-street parking required will be by a
payment -in -lieu estimated at $60,000. All RFTA bus routes are
within two (2) blocks of the proposal; the Rubey Park Transit
Center is three (3) blocks to the Southeast (See Vicinity Map).
No bike paths are provided through the Commercial Core.
jThe
location of the project is the greatest
disincentive to auto use. The site is within comfortable
walking distance of the majority of accommodations in the
'
City's lodge districts.
7. Affordable Housing. One (1) one -bedroom 903 sq.
ft. moderate -income employee unit will be provided on -site.
The relocated Berko House will provide an additional
'
- 2 -
d
1
one -bedroom low-income affordable housing unit of approximately
600 square feet. The Applicant is committing to provide the
required 60% commercial GMP employee housing and thirty-five
percent (35%) residential employee housing.
8. Stoves and Fireplaces. The development will be
limited to one (1) fireplace utilizing gas logs, although the
Code currently would allow an additional certified stove.
9. Location Relative to Public Facilities. Given
the downtown location, the building will be within close
proximity to all public facilities.
10. Location Relative to Retail and Service Outlets.
This criterion does not apply to commercial/office
applications. The limited residential development will have
minimal impact on service outlets.
11. Effects of the Proposed Development. The
proposed building complements surrounding land uses while
providing needed employee housing.
12. Construction Schedule. Upon approval,
construction of the project will begin next Spring, following
relocation of the Berko Building. The project will be
completed in one phase, with completion currently anticipated
by Thanksgiving of 1989.
B. Commercial GMP Evaluation Criteria.
1. Quality of Design.
(a) Architectural Design. In addition to
accommodating the required functions of the building, the basic
intentions of the design of the project are to relate to the
existing adjacent buildings, as well as to the general
environment of the adjacent commercial district in scale,
massing. oroportion and materials.
These goals have been accomplished, in part, by
stepping the building back in vertical section keeping the
first two floors as the dominant building height, and by
providing a projected bay storefront window at the center of
the first level. This will promote a compatibility of massing,
proportion and alignment with the adjacent existing structures.
Considerable emphasis has been placed upon creating a
vocabulary of forms and materials that will fit in comfortably
with surrounding structures, and which are in keeping with HPC
guidelines and committee member comments. The variously
stepped faces of the front facade alternately align with the
faces of the buildings to either side. A somewhat horizontal
character has been given to the building in order to balance
1
- 3 -
its low profile, and to further enhance a compatible visual
p P
expression when seen in context with its immediate neighbors.
' The south side of the building which faces the
alley has been treated as an important developed building
facade in its own right. The intention is to avoid the
appearance of being the back or rear of the building. This is
accomplished by the use of the same materials as the front, as
' well as careful attention to the scale and detail of opening
and massing.
In a special effort to work within the HPC
guidelines, careful attention has been given to avoiding the
imitation or compromising of the established character of the
building's neighbors. In particular, the setbacks relate to
' both adjacent buildings, the massing has been stepped back,
recessed entrances are proposed, and the rhythm of the
fenestration of this building is tied to adjacent structures.
' The new building is seen as a clean and quiet structure which
will be viewed as a complement to the adjacent structures.
(b) Site Design. Given the lot size , 30' x
1001, and the HPC's desire to have new buildings aligned with
'
the front of existing buildings to complement the Victorian
streetfront style, site design options were limited.
Nonetheless, creative alternatives were sought. With the
'
location of the building within the commercial core, the major
orientation and identity will be for pedestrian traffic of
shoppers along the storefronts. Access to service, delivery
and the second floor employee housing will be through the alley
at the rear. The alley, and any disturbed areas of the
sidewalk, will be repaved by the developer. New paving will
define the ground plane along the sidewalk in front of the new
building, yet will provide a clean transition to the existing
paving on either side.
jIn
order to follow the HPC guidelines and
committee member comments, the placement of the new building is
in an alignment with the front of existing neighbors, and it
cooperates with and strengthens the existing architectural
boundary of the Hopkins Avenue storefronts as already defined
by the adjacent buildings. Together, the position, form and
texture of the new building are designed to both complete and
enhance the streetfront along Hopkins Avenue. By holding and
defining the street edge in plan and elevation, the building
will strengthen the commercial street's intended linear
character, and provide a continuity of perception along the
sidewalk.
Two new Norway Maples are proposed to soften the
streetscape, and to continue the existing rhythm and alignment
of trees already established along the sidewalk. While the
open space is limited, it is useable and partially sheltered
from the elements. All utilities have been undergrounded to
'
- 4 -
n
I�
fl
lessen visual impact. A snowmelt sidewalk is provided to limit
the need for snow storage areas.
The south side of the building site will be
repaved with bituminous concrete to match the existing paving
of the alley.
(c) Energy Conservation. The new building will
be designed to maximize benefits in energy conservation and
operating costs while minimizing initial expenditures and
system complexity. Energy conservation efforts will be
directed toward selection and design of systems which have
proven performance over extended periods of time. All energy
conserving devices will be simple to understand, operate,
adjust and maintain so the efficiencies achieved can be
reasonably maintained over the effective life of the building
systems. The following specific conservation features will be
incorporated in the detailed design of the project.
(1) Insulation. The greatest opportunity
for energy conservation occurs in the types of materials
specified in the construction of the building envelope. An
infiltration barrier wrap such as "Tyvek" will be installed
around the entire building exterior which will significantly
reduce infiltration. All penetrations of the wrap will be
carefully caulked and sealed to further enhance the
effectiveness of the barrier. High quality windows and doors
with state-of-the-art closures and gasketing methods will be
specified throughout, and bat and rigid insulation
specifications will exceed minimum standards. Insulation
values for the project's walls and roof will be R-28 and R-38
or better, respectively.
In addition to the exterior barrier wrap
and internal bat/rigid insulation, an interior vapor barrier
will be provided. This vinyl vapor barrier will not only
further decrease infiltration, but will tend to hold interior
humidity levels at least ten (10) to fifteen (15) percent
higher than exterior levels, resulting in a greater degree of
occupant comfort at lower room temperatures. All penetrations
of the vinyl vapor barrier at wall switches, outlets, etc. will
be sealed. With the individual unit's envelopes sealed and
insulated, an air-to-air heat exchanger will be used to control
the indoor environment while significantly reducing energy
losses.
(2) Mechanical Systems. Comfort heating
will be provided, utilizing high efficiency, state-of-the-art
mechanical systems. Consideration will be given to integrated
systems which provide optimum efficiency in the production of
both comfort level heating and domestic water heating. The use
of individual temperature controls for major occupancy areas
will be maximized to the greatest extent possible so that
building energy inputs can be matched to the occupants daily
F
- 5 -
use patterns. Although initial installation cost for high
efficiency systems may be slightly higher than conventional
systems, the long range effectiveness and efficiency in
operation will be the governing selection criteria. Primary
heating systems will also be selected and designed to
incrementally match the seasonal and daily demands of the
commercial retail, office and residential units.
(3) Plumbing. All plumbing fixtures and
fittings will be of a low flow, low water consumption type.
Faucet aerators and shower heads will be selected to provide
the maximum apparent flow at relatively low actual flows. All
plumbing will be fully insulated to prevent excessive water
usage at the point of use while waiting for adequate
temperatures to be achieved. Domestic water heater design will
incorporate the latest technology, and may be integrated with
heat recovery from the heating system. Should the final
selection be a stand-alone water heater, it will incorporate
all of the current pilot, flue and flame efficiency designs, as
well as high efficiency storage tank insulation.
(4) Glazing. All of the glazing in this
project will be selected with the highest "R" value practical.
Glazing located within six feet (61) of the floor will be low
"E" type to enhance the warmth radiating between occupant and
glazing. The use of low "E" glass will permit a significant
improvement in the occupant's sense of comfort because of its
effectiveness in re -radiating interior warmth. The selection
of interior finishes and colors, particularly in those rooms
'
with south facing glazing, will carefully consider the
advantages of radiant absorption and mass heating. While the
specific design intent is not to create a perfect passive
environment, the design team will utilize proven techniques in
'
enhancing the natural solar heating capabilities within the
finished interiors.
(d) Amenities. The revised design for the
project responds to the HPC's desire to have new buildings in
the commercial core align with the store fronts of existing
'
buildings as suggested in the recently adopted Historic
Guidelines.
Because of this open space provided on -site is
limited to 218 square feet; the balance of the open space
requirement is to be met through an open space payment -in -lieu
' in the amount of $48,744.00, based on the appraised value of
the land. This payment -in -lieu is discussed in more detail in
Section II.B. of this Submission.
' The limited amount of open space remaining
provides relatively little opportunity for other amenities
on -site. However, pedestrian access in and around the project
will be enhanced through the installation of a snowmelt system
in the walkways on the north side of the project.
L —1
Bicyclists are required to use the streets
through the commercial core, as no bike trails are anticipated
in this area under this master plan. Because the existing bike
racks installed in the immediate area of the project are
clearly sufficient to meet the needs of both the project and
the immediate neighborhood, we propose to install a bike rack
in an alternate location where the City has identified that
there is a need for one.
(e) Visual Impact. The height of the building
has been established to not only relate to the addition but to
architectural elements of the neighboring buildings, and also
to minimize the visual impact of the project.
It is important to note that the height of the
building (approximately 33=, feet to the parapet) is well below
the 40 foot height limit in the CC zone district. In addition,
the Hotel Jerome Viewplane, one of a number established to
protect Mountain views from obstruction from designated parks
and other public places, is higher than the zoning height limit
when it crosses over the site some 45 above the ground plane.
This is the only viewplane which extends over the project site.
We believe the project is totally consistent
with established community goals relative to visual
compatibility, as evidenced by the height limit established for
the area and the absence of other limitations on height
established through the creation of viewplanes.
' The HPC agreed that the vertical element of the
building breaks the horizontal mass of the Mill Street Plaza
and provides visual relief.
1
(f) Trash and Utility Access Areas. We have
included an analysis of trash service area requirements for the
project, and a comparison to the actual area provided, in
Section II.D., where we are requesting approval of a reduction
in required area. While the overall area available is adequate
to meet that required, the area set aside for trash facilities,
approximately 83=' wide x 12%,' deep, does not meet the minimum
requirement of the Code, which is twenty (20) linear feet with
a depth of ten feet (101). A gate is provided as a visual
screen of the trash area.
Comparison to the Mill Street Plaza project adjacent
to the site is helpful in determining whether trash storage
proposed for this project is adequate. That project includes
28,000 square feet of retail and office space, including three
(3) restaurants and an additional 1,500 square feet of
restricted housing. Four (4) dumpsters are provided, or one
(1) dumpster for each 7,000 square feet of commercial space.
In comparison, the proposal for this project includes
one (1) dumpster for 2,100 square feet of commercial and retail
- 7 -
1
space. In addition, no restaurants are presently proposed in
the project. This compares quite favorably with the trash
facilities provided with the Mill Street Plaza.
The Applicant will schedule extra trash pick-ups
at additional cost if trash generation is a problem during peak
times, such as during the Christmas Season.
2. Availability of Public Facilities and Services.
(a) Water Supply/Fire Protection. The Aspen
Water Department has confirmed that adequate capacity exists to
provide for the needs of the project without system extensions
or upgrading. Water service will be provided through the
existing 6" City water main in Hopkins. Estimated increased
demand will be minimal, as only three (3) half-restrooms and
two (2) full restrooms are being added, replacing one (1)
restroom. The Applicant commits to the payment of fees
associated with the fixtures added as a result of the project.
Fire protection service to the project can be
provided without the necessity of upgrading fire protection
facilities. The Fire Department is one block from the project,
and response time is estimated to be less than five minutes.
Existing fire hydrants at the northwest corner
'
of Hopkins and Monarch and at the northwest corner of Hopkins
and Mill provide adequate coverage for fire protection without
further upgrading of fire protection facilities. Water
'
pressure and capacity is adequate for fire protection flow.
In discussing water service in the area of the
project with Jim Markalunas, Director of the Water Department,
'
it is clear that water service is more than adequate in the
area of the site. Therefore, we have discussed the possibility
of adding a main extension to serve a new hydrant at the corner
of Main and Hunter Street. This is a location that has been
identified by the Water Department as an area with inadequate
hydrant coverage as well as a location for a needed main
interconnect between the Hopkins Avenue and Main Street water
lines.
Applicant is prepared to commit to install the
main extension and hydrant. Since the location is not in the
immediate vicinity of the project, however, it is unclear
whether the applicant will be awarded additional points.
Therefore, this commitment is conditioned on an award by the
Planning and Zoning Commission in excess of 1.5 points, since
it is clear that the project merits a score of one (1) point
' without this additional improvement. The main extension and
hydrant will not only increase fire protection in the area, but
will also serve as a first step toward the interconnect desired
by the Water Department.
L.
(b) Sanitary Sewer. The Aspen Consolidated
' Sanitation District has confirmed that the capacity of the
existing sewage collection system is adequate to accommodate
the project. Sewer service will continue to be provided
through the existing 8" District line in the alley to the south
of the site.
This line flows to the west and connects to a 8"
main in First Street which continues to the north toward the
'
treatment plant. The Sanitation District has budgeted
approximately $165,000 to upgrade this latter section of sewer
'
line this fall.
In order to improve sanitary sewer service in
the area, the Applicant proposes to contribute $5,000 toward
'
the upgrading of the First Street main, to offset District
expenses for this improvement. This commitment is in addition
to the Applicant's commitment to the payment of any fees
'
associated with increased sewer service to the project.
(c) Public Transportation/Roads. The project
'
is within two blocks of all RFTA bus routes, and within three
blocks of the Rubey Park Transit Center. The site is also
little more than one block from Aspen's pedestrian mall.
'
The primary hours of operation for the
commercial uses in the building will be approximately 9:00 a.m.
to 9:00 p.m. In addition, there are two residential units
on -site; the applicant is requesting the opportunity to rent
'
the restricted housing unit to qualified employees within the
building. The location of the project assures convenient
vehicular access on existing streets with adequate capacity;
'
access to proposed parking and for service vehicles will be
from the alley between Mill and Monarch streets.
17
The daily auto one-way trips generated by the
new project are projected to be twenty-six (26) trips, well
within the capacity of existing streets in the area. This
estimate of trips has been arrived at by using the guidelines
of the 1985 County Road Standards; because of the project
location, these estimates should be relatively high, since the
factors were established for uses in rural locations.
Rates for applicable uses are as follows:
Residential Apartment 3/du x 2 du's = 6 trips
Business Office 8/1,000 sq. ft. x 612 sq.ft. = 5 trips
Retail shops 10/1,000 sq. ft. x 1,522 sq.ft. = 15 trips
TOTAL DAILY TRIPS 26 trips
(d) Storm Drainage. Site topography presently
directs surface drainage into Monarch Street where it is
collected in the existing curb and gutter system and directed
to the northwest of the site. The drainage concept for the
1
a
'
project is to meet the requirements of the City of Aspen
p 7 q Y P
regulations as described in Section 7-1004C(4)(f). This will
'
be accomplished by providing on -site detention for site
drainage. Upon approval of the project, a drainage plan will
be prepared by a qualified engineer to assure that the
historical rate of runoff for the 100-year storm event will be
maintained.
'
Surface drainage will be directed and collected
through surface grading. Area drains will be located in
exterior areas with hard surfaces and collected run-off will be
routed via underground piping to drywell structures designed to
discharge water at the rate of the 100-year storm from the
undeveloped site. For off -site runoff entering the site,
measures will be taken to maintain historic drainage patterns
and flows.
(e) Parking. The proposal is within
comfortable walking distance (1,500 feet) of the majority of
'
accommodations in the L/TR zone district. In addition, as
stated previously, the project is within two blocks of all RFTA
bus routes. Because of increasing congestion in the commercial
core as a whole, a growing number of Aspen's tourists arrive
and depart the commercial core by taxi.
Consistent with current parking requirements for
'
the CC zone district, two off-street parking spaces are
included in the proposal. The Applicant is requesting a waiver
of the off-street parking requirement for the one -bedroom
'
affordable housing unit, as permitted under §5-301(B). The
Applicant proposes to provide the balance of the off-street
parking required for the project through a payment -in -lieu.
The shortfall has been calculated as four (4) spaces, requiring
'
a payment of $60,000.00. In addition, in order to improve the
availability of public parking in the area, Applicant proposes
to make a payment of an additional $15,000.00 for one (1)
parking space beyond the requirement for the
project.
3. Provision of Employee Housing. To meet the
'
minimum threshold requirements of Commercial GMQS which
applicant commits to, it is necessary to house 60% of the
employees generated. The award for housing 60% is 10 GMQS
'
points.
Based on the current program of 2,134 sq. ft. of net
'
leasable retail and office space, less 900 sq. ft. of existing
net leasable space (net new square footage of 1,234 sq. ft.),
and using an employee generation factor of 3.5/1,000 sq. ft. of
net leasable, employee generation for the commercial use is
'
4.32 employees. The minimum housing requirement at 60% is,
therefore, 2.59 employees.
' Using a factor at the bottom of the range for
employee generation in the commercial core, established as 3.5
I
- 10 -
' to 5.25 employees per 1,000 sq. ft. of net leasable commercial
space, can be justified for two reasons. First, the project is
' at the fringe of the commercial core, with little likelihood of
attracting the kind of pedestrian traffic which exists on the
Mall. Therefore fewer employees are needed than in comparable
' retail space on the Mall. Second, no food or beverage
facilities are proposed for the project; since restaurant
facilities are considered the highest employee generator among
' all uses listed in the housing guidelines, a lower number is
justified.
In order to address mitigation for the accessory
residential unit, employee generation for that use is
calculated on the basis of §8-106(D), Residential Development
Standards (see §8-104C[l][d]).
' To meet the minimum threshold in the residential
competition, it is necessary that 35% of the population
associated with the residential use be housed under low-income
guidelines as calculated below:
Population of 2-bedroom free-market unit: 2.25 residents ( 65%)
Required Restricted Population: 1.21 residents ( 35%)
Total population: 3.46 residents (100%)
' Affordable housing to be provided with the project
includes a 903 sq. ft. one -bedroom unit in the building, and
the relocated Berko house; therefore, housing is provided for
3.5 employees:
1 1 moderate -income 1-bedroom on -site @ 1.75 = 1.75
1 low-income 1-bedroom (Berko) @ 1.75 = 1.75
3.50
With a total housing requirement of 3.8 employees
' (2.59 employees for the commercial space and 1.21 employees for
the residential commitment), the Applicant proposes to address
the shortfall of .3 employees to be housed with
payment -in -lieu. Under moderate -income guidelines, the payment
' would be $5,025.00 as follows: .3 employees x
$16,750.00/employee = $5,025.00.
' II. SPECIAL REVIEW PROCEDURES
A. Bonus Commercial Square Footage.
' The provisions of §5-209D(10) permit up to .5:1 bonus
floor area by Special Review, of which up to .2:1 can be
additional commercial space if the balance of .3:1 is committed
' to affordable housing. The construction of 900 sq. ft. of
on -site restricted housing permits consideration of additional
bonus commercial area of up to 600 sq. ft.
- 11 -
Under 7-4 the criteria to be considered b for
§ � Y P&Z
bonus FAR, (1) compatibility with surrounding land uses; and
(2) mitigation of impacts, relate very closely to the GMP
scoring criteria for architectural design, site design and
visual impact, discussed previously. We feel that this project
'
meets the criteria and is entitled to a bonus square footage.
B. Payment -in -lieu for Open Space.
'
The open space requirement in the CC zone is 25% of the
site, or 750 sq. ft. Approximately 218 sq. ft. of open space
is provided. The P&Z may approve by Special Review a
payment -in -lieu for that portion of the open space not
provided, based on the appraised value of the unimproved land.
The payment -in -lieu of open space is calculated based on
the formula in §7-404(A)(3) as follows:
'
"Appraised value of the unimproved land, multiplied by the
percentage of the site required to be open space which is
to be developed, equals value of payment."
At an estimated value of $275,000.00 for the unimproved land,
and using a total of 70.9% as the percentage of the required
open space to be developed, the cash payment would be:
'
70.9% x 25% x $275,000.00 = $ 48,744.00
It is inappropriate to have more open space since other
buildings along the street front have the same relationship as
the proposal to the property lines and additional open space
would serve no public purpose. Furthermore, the building
design complies with the HPC guidelines regarding building and
'
streetscape relationship.
' C. Reduction in Required Off -Street Parking.
In the CC zone, the relevant parking requirement is:
' Residential: 1 space/bedroom
(Parking for affordable housing is established
by Special Review. See §5-301(B))
' Commercial: 2 spaces/1,000 sq. ft. net leasable
' The Applicant is requesting a waiver of the parking
requirement of one (1) space for the on -site affordable housing
unit. A payment -in -lieu for on -site parking of $15,000.00 per
space for other uses may be approved by Special Review by the
' P&Z under §7-404(B). Since it is possible to provide only two
(2) spaces on -site, the payment -in -lieu of parking is as
follows:
Residential:l space/bedroom x 2 bedrooms = 2
- 12 -
Commercial: 2 spaces/1,000 sq. ft. x 2,134 sq. ft. = 4
Required Parking: 6
Parking Provided: 2
Payment -in -Lieu Required: 4 spaces
' Parking payment -in -lieu required: $15,000/space x 4 spaces = $60,000
Plus one extra parking space: $15,000 TOTALS: $75,000
' D. Reduction in Trash and Utility Access Requirements.
In the CC zone district, a minimum of 20 linear feet (with
a minimum vertical clearance and depth of 10 feet) is required
' for a utility/trash service area under the provisions of
§5-209(D) for a project of up to 6,000 sq. ft. of net leasable
floor area.
' The utility/trash service area proposed is Sk linear feet
with a depth of 12, feet. The Applicant is requesting special
review consideration by P&Z of the adequacy of the utility
' trash service area to serve the proposed expansion.
The review criteria to be considered by P&Z in its
consideration of the appropriateness of a reduction in trash
and utility access requirements (See §7-404C) are as follows:
' 1. Adequacy of the Proposed Trash/Service Area.
Comparison to the Mill Street Plaza project adjacent
to the site is helpful in determining whether trash storage
' proposed for this project is adequate. That project includes
28,000 square feet of retail and office space, including three
(3) restaurants and an additional 1,500 square feet of
restricted housing. Four (4) dumpsters are provided, or one
(1) dumpster for each 7,000 square feet of commercial space.
In comparison, the proposal for this project includes
one (1) dumpster for 2,100 square feet of commercial and retail
space. In addition, no restaurants are presently proposed in
the project. This compares quite favorably with the trash
' facilities provided with the Mill Street Plaza.
'
2. The Adequacy
of Access. The alley behind this
Project
is perhaps the most
orderly of all the alleys in the
'
Commercial
storage
Core, due to the
requirements for new
effectiveness of off -alley trash
construction. There are presently
no trash
storage containers
or other significant encroachments
into the
alley right-of-way
to interfere with access to the
'
site.
3. Measures to
Facilitate Trash Removal. The
proposed
trash storage area
is well organized, protected from

adequately. At peak times,
at an additional cost to
handle trash requirements
4. Provisions for Trash Compaction. In recent
months, the Commercial Core and Lodging Commission have
investigated trash compactor systems which might be appropriate
for the entire Commercial Core area. Such a system is only
feasible if all the building owners in each block are prepared
or required to participate in the cost of such a system. The
owner does not presently anticipate a need for an individual
trash compactor system, given the nature of uses proposed for
the project.
5. Adequacy of Area for Utilities. A portion of
the service area is set aside for transformers and other
utilities equipment for the building. We believe these
facilities are adequate to serve the needs of the building for
the foreseeable future.
6. Assurance That the Access Area Will Be
Constructed. The service area as proposed is an integral part
of the Applicant's GMP Submission. It will not be possible to
obtain a Certificate of Occupancy for the building until the
service area is completed as approved.
III. CONDITIONAL USE REQUEST FOR ONE FREE-MARKET RESIDENTIAL
UNIT.
Applicant requests approval of one (1) free-market
residential unit as a conditional use pursuant to §5-209(C)(8)
This residential dwelling unit will be located on the third
floor. The proposed residential unit is a two -bedroom unit of
1,266 square feet. As explained in Section IV, below, the
free-market residential unit is an accessory use in this mixed
use, commercial/office development.
Pursuant to §7-304, the following review standards have
been met:
A. The conditional use is consistent with the purposes,
goals, objectives, and standards of the Aspen Area
Comprehensive Plan, and with the intent of the Zone District in
which it is proposed to be located because providing
residential uses in the commercial core enhances the core's
diversity while providing necessary housing.
B. The conditional use is consistent and compatible with
the character of the immediate vicinity of the parcel proposed
for development and surrounding land uses and activities in the
immediate vicinity of the parcel proposed for development.
- 14 -
'
C. The location size, design, and operating
characteristics of the proposed conditional residential use
minimizes adverse effects. The visual impacts, impacts on
pedestrian and vehicular circulation, parking, trash, service
delivery, noise, vibrations and odor on surrounding properties
'
are minimal.
D. There are adequate public facilities and services to
serve the conditional use including but not limited to roads,
potable water, sewer, solid waste, parks, police, fire
protection, emergency medical services, hospital and medical
services, drainage systems, and schools.
E. The proposed conditional use complies with all
additional standards imposed on it by the Aspen Area
Comprehensive Plan and by all other applicable requirements of
'
this chapter.
IV. REQUEST FOR EXEMPTION FROM GMOS PROCEDURES FOR AN
ACCESSORY USE IN MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT
City Council may grant an exemption from GMQS procedures
'
for an accessory use in a mixed use development under the
provisions of §8-104C(1)(d). Under the previous Code, an
interpretation was made that one dwelling unit could be
exempted from GMQS procedures; under the new Code, that
'
provision was clarified to eliminate that interpretation.
Therefore, the only exemption under the new Code which would
'
allow the Applicant to avoid having to file a second GMQS
submission for the proposed residential unit is the one
referred to above. The following responses address the
conditions which must be met in order to be eligible for the
'
exemption:
1. The building is designed as an integrated whole,
containing uses requiring the submission of development
'
applications in more than one allotment category.
'
2. The building is designed in such a way that
separate review of its components would be redundant.
3. The principal use of the project is as a
commercial building with retail and office uses. The accessory
residential unit will be available for the owner's use from
time to time to oversee the operation of the building.
' However, the unit may be occupied by other than building
employees or owners and may be conveyed separately.
4. An Application for a Commercial GMQS Allotment
for the principal use is included in Chapter I of this
submission.
5. The impacts of the accessory use on public
facilities and affordable housing are mitigated under the
I
- 15 -
1�
i
1
commitments made in Chapter I, the Commercial GMQS Submission.
For clarity, calculations included in that section include
those for the residential unit, as well as the commercial
space.
6. The site design and architectural aspects for
all of the uses included in the proposal are also discussed in
Chapter I.
Exemption of the proposed residential unit is fully
consistent with the intent of §8-104C(1)(d) in that, by
granting an exemption, the City is able to avoid requiring
separate GMQS submissions while still achieving adequate
mitigation for the accessory use.
V. REQUEST FOR EXEMPTION FROM GMOS PROCEDURES FOR AFFORDABLE
HOUSING UNITS (§8-104LC1f1jjcl).
Applicant requests exemption from GMQS procedures for the
affordable housing units pursuant to §8-104(C)(1)(c) as the
development complies with the City's adopted housing plan.
Applicant proposes to provide a one -bedroom, moderate -income
' employee unit, consisting of 903 square feet, on the second
floor of the building.
' In addition, Applicant will provide, in the relocated
Berko house, a one -bedroom, low-income, employee unit,
consisting of approximately 600 square feet. These two
employee housing units provide greatly needed affordable
' housing for the community. This affordable housing is
particularly desirable because one unit is on -site and one unit
is proposed for the A.C.E.S. property in the heart of the
community.
' VI. P.U.D. REVIEW FOR A.C.E.S. SITE FOR RELOCATION OF BERRO
HOUSE.
A.C.E.S. is in the process of preparing a master plan for
its property which will include a specific P.U.D. application
' for the relocation of the Berko house.
As one of the conditions of City Council's approval of our
commercial quota and special review application, A.C.E.S. must
receive P.U.D. approval for the Berko house relocation prior to
the issuance of a relocation permit for the new building.
