INTRODUCTION
tThis application is submitted for the review and consideration
' of the Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council pursuant
to Article 7, Division 4, and Article 8 of the Aspen Municipal
' Code by The Fleisher Company, Inc., on behalf of the owner of the
property, the Wheeler -Carter Venture. The application requests
' an exemption from the growth management quota system as an
enlargement of an Historic Landmark. As a result of the timing
of the submission, however, a commercial growth management
' application is included in the event the request for an exemption
is not approved. The growth management system quota application
' requests an allotment of 2,250 square feet for office development
' of the possible four thousand (4,000) square feet available for
allocation in the Office (0) Zone District. Finally, Special
' Review approval is requested to permit a reduction in the off-
street parking requirements for the project.
' The property is located on the northeast corner of Main Street
' and Aspen Street, specifically, Lots K, L, and M, Block 73, City
of Aspen, Colorado. (See Exhibit 1: "Location/Zoning Map", page
' 2). This location is zoned (0), Office Zone. Currently, the
retail store known as Gracy's is located in two historic
' structures on Lots L and M; the additional development proposed
' to be located on Lot K will consist of an office building,
presently anticipated to be used for the purposes of a
' professional office, and two affordable housing units.

' II. REQUEST FOR EXEMPTION FROM
THE GROWTH MANAGEMENT QUOTA SYSTEM
Under the provisions of Section 8-104 (B) (1) (c) , the Planning and
' Zoning Commission may exempt from GMQS competition the
enlargement of an Historic Landmark in excess of five hundred
' (500) square feet. The 9,000 square foot site was granted
Landmark status during the 19701s, in recognition of the
' importance of the two small historic structures on the site. The
' site design for the proposal favored by the Historic Preservation
Committee calls for a totally detached structure rather than an
' expansion of either of the existing buildings, in order to best
respect the scale of the historic structures.
' Proceeding with the design concept approved by the HPC should not
' preclude the applicants from utilizing one of the benefits
available to them under the Code which has been included in order
' to encourage preservation of Landmark structures. In addition,
granting an exemption from GMQS does not change the nature of the
' project nor any of the commitments made under Section II (GMQS)
' of this Submission.
In order to be eligible for such an exemption, the applicant must
' comply with several conditions, as follows:
' 1. Mitigation of affordable housing impacts:
' The applicant's proposal includes two deed -restricted units
' housing three (3) employees and a payment -in -lieu
committment for .02 employees, as discussed in Section
' III (B)(3) of this submission. This commitment provides
' housing for sixty percent (60%) of the project's employee
generation of 5.04 employees.
1
2. Provision of parking according to Code standards:
' Three parking spaces are provided on -site as a part of the
' proposal. The applicant is seeking a reduction in the on -
site parking required for the new commercial space (five (5)
' spaces are required) as well as a waiver of the parking
requirements for the affordable housing units, (See Section
' IV of this submission), all as permitted under Special
' Review procedures (Article 7, Division 4).
' 3. Adequacy of public facilities and services:
Water supply, fire protection, sewer service, storm drainage
' and transportation for the project are discussed in Section
III(B)(2) of this submission. Provision for public services
comply with the standards of the Growth Management Quota
1 System.
' 4. Compatibility of the project's site design:
' A discussion of the site design for the proposal is included
' in Section III (B)(1) of this submission. Several meetings
have been held with the Historic Preservation Committee to
' consider the site design proposal as well as other aspects
' of the architecture for the project. Final approval was
granted to the project by the HPC on August 23, 1988.
-5-
' IV. COMMERCIAL GROWTH MANAGEMENT QUOTA SYSTEM SUBMISSION
' A. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
' The proposed building will contain approximately 1,390 square
feet of floor area on the first floor and 860 square feet of
' floor area on the second floor; both floors will be used for the
purposes of office space. The basement level will contain two
residential units to be deed -restricted as affordable housing
' pursuant to Section 8-109. Specifically, a studio apartment
consisting of approximately four hundred and fifty eight (458)
' square feet and a one bedroom apartment consisting of
approximately six hundred and twenty three (623) square feet,
' will be included in the project.
'
Gracy's currently occupies approximately 5,328 square feet of
floor area, of which 3,563
square feet is included in the
'
external FAR calculations; currently these buildings include
retail and residential uses.
The proposed building increases the
'
floor area of the parcel by
approximately 2,250 square feet, a
'
net increase of approximately
25% of floor area, resulting in a
combined Floor Area Ratio of
0.65:1 for the entire parcel. The
'
allowable external floor area
ratio in the Office Zone is .75:1,
permitting a maximum building
square footage on the 9,000 square
'
foot parcel of 6,750 square
feet. Utilization of the bonus
'
provisions of Section 5-213(D)
is not proposed.
Ll
The following section provides a general description of the
project with respect to specific public facilities and services.
1
' IV(A) 1. Public Water System.
As the site is presently vacant, water service is not currently
' provided for the location of the proposed building. However,
water service is provided to the adjacent building, occupied by
' Gracy's, via a service line connected to the existing six (6)
' inch main located in Main Street, located approximately twenty
(20) feet from the property line. Based on preliminary
' discussions with the Water Department, it has been determined
that a new service line, connected to the same main line, will
iprovide adequate water supply to service the needs of the
' proposed project.
' IV(A) 2. Public Sanitary Sewer:
As the site is presently vacant, sanitation service is not
' currently provided for the location of the proposed building.
' Gracy's is served by the existing eight (8) inch main located in
the alley directly north of the parcel. Based on preliminary
' discussions with the Aspen Consolidated Sanitation District, the
existing sewer main will accommodate the sanitation needs
' generated by the proposed project.
1
1
IV(A) 3. Drainage System.
The two historic structures on the site were constructed in the
' late 1800's. Impervious surfaces on the site are limited to the
' buildings themselves and sidewalks serving the buildings. The
development site, to the west of the existing buildings, is a
'
grassy area with no impervious surfaces. Due to the age
of the
buildings
on the site, no provisions for control of runoff
are
'
provided,
and as a result, all runoff presently passes
through
'
the site,
flowing in a northwesterly direction.
The City
storm drainage system includes two major lines
in the
'
vicinity
of the project. A twenty four inch (2411) line is
located to the east of the site in Monarch Street and a
thirty
'
six inch
(3611) line is in place to the west in Garmisch
Street.
'
A fifteen
inch (1511) line which is located on the south
side of
Main Street, beginning at the catch basin across from the site,
'
connects to the Garmisch Street line.
IIV(A) 4. Fire Protection.
'
The site
for the proposed
project is located approximately four
4 blocks from the Aspen
Volunteer Fire Department. There are
'
several
fire hydrants in
the vicinity of the project. The Fire
Marshall
has indicated that the available water supply and
'
pressure
is adequate to serve
the fire protection needs of the
existing
structures on the
parcel, as well as the needs of the
1 a_
proposed building to be located on the property. As a result of
the proximity of the site to the fire station and the nearby fire
hydrants, the response time for emergency calls is estimated at
three (3) minutes.
IV(A) 5. Development Area.

proposal as well as existing buildout on the site.

IV(A) 6. Public Transportation and Roads.
It is anticipated that office space in the building will be used
for the purpose of a professional office. The office will serve
approximately ten (10) employees and will be open primarily
during the traditional business hours. In addition, three (3)
residents will live in the affordable housing units included in
the project.
The site is conveniently located on the corner of Main Street and
Aspen Street, a location which provides excellent access on
existing paved streets with adequate capacity to service the
needs of the project. In addition, the site is located on the
transit routes, serviced by the Roaring Fork Transit Authority,
that offer transportation throughout the City of Aspen, as well
as to Snowmass Village, and destinations 'downvalley'.
' IV(A) 7. Affordable Housing
The applicant proposes to provide two affordable housing units
on -site at 200 East Main Street. In accordance with the Code
' requirements for Affordable Housing for the Office (0) Zone, the
employee generation factor results in the requirement to house
' 3.02 employees. The applicant proposes to include one (1) studio
apartment of approximately 458 square feet, and one (1) one
bedroom apartment of approximately 623 square feet, in the
' proposed development. The balance of the affordable housing
' requirement, specifically, .02 employees, will be filled with a
payment -in -lieu of housing. The two affordable housing units
will be restricted to employee occupancy and rent will be
' determined in accordance with the guidelines established by the
Aspen/Pitkin Housing Authority for moderate income employees.
IV(B) 8. Stoves and Fireplaces.
1 There will be no stoves or fireplaces included in the project.
IV(A) 9. Usage of Additional Public Facilities.
' The site is located on the northeast corner of Main and Aspen
Streets and Paepcke Park is located on the southwest corner of
the same intersection. Due to the fact that the project primarily
' serves the purpose of a relocation of an existing office, rather
than the addition of a new or expanded business into the City of
Aspen, it is anticipated that the impact of the proposed
development on existing playgrounds, schools, hospitals and
airports will be minimal.
IV(A) 10. Proximity to Retail and Service Outlets.

B. QUALITY OF DESIGN
' The following section addresses the review criteria for the
quality of the project and site design with respect to specific
' standards.
'
IV(B)(1) (a). Architectural Design.
Located in the historic overlay district,
great care has been
taken to design a building that is
compatible
with the
'
residential character of the neighborhood.
With the
guidance of
the Historic Preservation Committee, the building was
designed to
'
be compatible with its historic neighbors,
notably,
Gracy's and
' the Sardy House, and more importantly, to allow these historic
structures to retain their historic integrity. (See Exhibit 2:
I
"Perspective", page 15).
The front projection of the proposed building matches Gracy's in
' terms of width, height, pitch of roof, and window proportion and
'
placement. The
proposed building
does not duplicate the
architecture of the period, however, by
using traditional shapes,
'
forms, and roof
pitches, coupled with
the use of contemporary
materials, the
proposed building
will complement the
'
neighborhood.
-14-
0
of
' The materials for the project were selected to complement the
historic nature of the neighborhood. The use of horizontal wood
' siding, wood shingles in the gable faces, and wood shingles
stained black on the roof, enhance the residential character of
' the building and are compatible with the adjacent Gracy's
' building, a wood sided Victorian cottage.
The Historic Preservation Committee granted Conceptual Approval
' for the project on August 9, 1988, and Final Approval for the
project on August 23, 1988. At that time, HPC granted variations
' for the west side yard setback and the distance between the
' buildings, finding that such variations are more compatible in
character with the adjacent historic landmark, than would be
' development in accord with dimensional requirements. Therefore,
the approved development plan was found to be preferable in areas
' of massing, scale, and compatibility, meeting criteria specified
' in both the Development Guidelines and the Secretary of the
Interior Standards for Rehabilitation. (See Exhibit 3:
' "Elevations", page 17).
IIV(B) (1) (b) . Site Design.
A significant majority of the open space for the project is
' located between the proposed building and Main and Aspen Streets.
The site is designed to maintain the residential character of the
11
neighborhood with street trees to be provided on both street
frontages in the planting strip between the street and the
sidewalk. (See Exhibit 5: "Landscape Plan", page 19).
Although there is no open space requirement in the Office Zone,
the open space provided for the site, following the expansion,
is approximately 2,539 square feet, or 28% of the parcel. In
addition, there is approximately sixteen (16) feet from the lot
line to the street curb for walks and landscaping, which will
minimize the impact of the building and provide a garden setting
for the pedestrian flow along the sidewalks.
The parking area is located on the alley side of the building;
landscaping and fencing will shield the cars from view.
IV(B) (1) (c) . Enercry Conservation.
The project has been designed, and the building will be
constructed, to maximize the conservation of energy and the
retention of energy and solar heat gain. Specific measures
include the following:
1. Building siting and orientation:
The building glazing is oriented to the south and west with
very little glazing on the east and north sides. Due to
orientation, the benefits of the solar gain will be
considerable during the business hours. Operable windows

will provide ample cooling and through -ventilation during
the warmer months.
2. Insulation:
The building wall will have R-25 insulation in lieu of the
required R-19 and the roof will have R-38 insulation, which
is considerably more than the R-25 energy code requirement.
Rigid insulation at a value of R-12 will be used to insulate
the perimeter foundation walls.
3. Glazing:
All glazing for the building will be Low E insulating glass
which is 50% more efficient than standard glazing.
4. Mechanical system:
The mechanical system employed for the building will include
hot water boilers of at least 90% efficiency for both
domestic hot water and space heat at the building
perimeters.
5. Fixtures:
Low consumption water closets and shower heads will be
installed throughout the project.
-20-
6. Infiltration:
Vapor barriers will be provided at all exterior walls and
ceilings interior to the insulation to limit air
infiltration and humidity loss. All doors, windows,
electrical outlets, and other penetrations of the vapor
barrier will be sealed.
7. Fireplaces:
Even though one gas fireplace and one certified wood stove
are permitted, no woodburning devices will be installed in
the building. This will contribute to the overall energy
efficiency of the building.
IV(B) (1) (d) . Amenities.
As a result of the limited scope of the project, the
opportunities for amenities are limited. The usable open space
exceeds 28% of the site in a zone district with no open space
requirement. A bike rack will be provided for the employees and
residents adjacent to the parking area as shown on the site plan.
Sidewalks will be provided along both Aspen and Main Streets. In
addition, seating will be provided along at least one side of the
raised planter to the southwest of the building for the use of
building employees, as well as passers-by.
-21-
'
IV(B)(1)
(e). Visual Impact.
Great care
has been taken with
the scale and siting of the office
'
building
to be located on the
northeast corner of Aspen and Main
Streets.
The site is located
in the Historic District and, as a
'
result,
the project has been
designed to be compatible with the
'
neighboring historic structures. The
height
of the building
reaches a peak of 25.5 feet at the east/west
cross gable, a
'
height established at the recommendation
of the
HPC. The height
limit in the zone district is twenty
five (25) feet to the
'
midpoint of a pitched roof, not to exceed
thirty
(30) feet to the
ridge.The height of the building, as well as the pitch of the
roof, has been carefully proportioned to produce a pleasant
' transition between the Sardy House and Gracy's, and most
importantly, to avoid a dwarfing effect over the historic Gracy's
' building. It is important to note that the project is not
' located within any of the established view planes. (See Exhibit
4: "Streetscape", page 23).
' Several discussions of the proposal with the Historic
Preservation Committee have contributed to the development of a
' project design that resolves the initial concerns for a building
' on this site. The project received Conceptual Approval from the
HPC on August 9, 1988, and Final Approval on August 23, 1988. It
' is important to note that as a part of its review of the
proposal, the HPC requested that the building be shifted slightly

' to the west in order to provide more open space between the
addition and the existing building. In order to accomplish this
' relocation, HPC granted a variation of approximately six (6) feet
in the setback requirement from the west property line under the
' provisions of Section 7-601(D) (1) (2). This variation allows for
the projection of a wing to extend approximately six (6) feet
beyond the setback to provide relief in the design of the facade
' of the west elevation. Again, this design was recommended by the
HPC.
' IV(B)(1) (f). Trash and Utility Access Areas.
Although there is no trash and utility access requirement for the
' Office zone, a trash storage area will be located at the rear of
the building with access from the existing alley. Since the
building is proposed for office and residential use, very little
' trash will be generated and deliveries will be infrequent.
The trash enclosure will be located on the north side of the lot
' facing the alley and will be shared by existing uses as well as
this project. Adequate space exists for trash storage; the
' owners will provide a dumpster sized according to the
I
requirements of BFI.

' III. COMMERCIAL GROWTH MANAGEMENT QUOTA SYSTEM SUBMISSION
B. AVAILABILITY OF PUBLIC FACILITIES AND SERVICES
The following section addresses the review criteria for the
' availability of public facilities and services for the project
with respect to specific standards.
' IV(B)(2) (b). Water Supply and Fire Protection.
Water service will be provided to the project via a new service
' line to be connected to the existing six (6) inch main located in
Main Street, approximately twenty (20) feet from the property
line. The preliminary fixture count for the project, including
' both commercial and residential uses, is as follows: four (4)
toilets, four (4) lavatories, three (3) sinks, and two (2)
shower/bathtubs. The applicant commits to the payment of fees
' associated with the additional fixtures resulting from the
project.
' Based on the preliminary discussions with the Water Department,
it has been determined that there is adequate water supply and
' facilities available to service the needs of the project. The
Water Department indicates that no improvements are necessary at
the treatment plant to service this project. An isolation valve
will be added by the applicant on the main at the northeast
corner of Aspen and Main Streets in order to improve the quality
1
-25-
' of water service provided for the neighborhood, specifically in
the event of an emergency resulting in the disruption of water
' service. In the event of such an occurrence, the additional
valve will allow the Water Department to isolate the service
' outage to a smaller number of households or businesses affected
by the disruption. The applicant proposes to install this valve,
while installing the service line, in order to allow the Water
' Department to better serve the water needs of the neighborhood.
The site for the proposed project is located approximately four
' (4) blocks from the Aspen Volunteer Fire Department. There are
three fire hydrants in the vicinity of the project: the first is
located on the northeast corner of Main and Monarch Streets, the
' second, on the northeast corner of Main and Garmisch Streets, and
the third, on the northeast corner of Bleeker and Aspen Streets.
The Fire Marshall has indicated that the water supply available
is adequate to provide fire protection service, within the
established response time of three (3) minutes. (See Exhibit 6:
' "Existing Conditions", page 27).
In addition, the Fire Marshall has determined that the fire
' hydrant closest to the site, at Main and Monarch, currently has a
' capacity of one hundred and five (105) pounds of static pressure
and ninety (90) pounds of residual pressure. The available water
pressure level is therefore adequate to provide fire fighting
flows, as well as to supply water for the sprinkler

system to be installed within the project. The applicant
proposes to install a fire hydrant on the northeast corner of
Main and Aspen Streets. This additional fire hydrant will
upgrade the existing fire protection service for the
neighborhood, as well as service for the project.
The project has been granted a variation by the Historic
1 Preservation Committee in the distance required between the
proposed building and the adjacent building, occupied by Gracy's.
The applicant commits to meeting the letter of the law with
respect to any requirements for fire protection that may result
' from this variation.
'
IV(B)(2) (b). Sanitary Sewer.
The project will be served by the
existing eight
(8)
inch main
'
located in the alley directly to
the north of
the
property.
Based on preliminary discussions
with the Aspen
Consolidated
iSanitation
District, the existing
system will accommodate the
anticipated flows generated by the project.
The
District
indicated that no improvements are necessary at
the
treatment
'
plant in order to adequately serve
the project.
The
applicant
commits to the payment of any fees
associated with
the
increased
1
sewer service resulting from the project.
-28-
' IV(B)(2) (c). Public Transportation and Roads.
The building, presently anticipated to be used for the purpose of
' a professional office, will serve as the office for approximately
ten (10) employees. The principal hours of business, and hence,
' the hours of primary daily use on adjacent
streets, are 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.. In addition, there
' will be two affordable housing units, with a total of two (2)
' bedrooms on the site; the applicant is requesting a right -of -
first -refusal to rent these units to employees of the project.
' The project location, at the corner of Main Street and Aspen
Street, provides excellent access on existing paved streets with
' adequate capacity. Vehicular access to off-street parking and
' service vehicles will be from the alley directly off of Aspen
Street, 100 feet to the north of Main Street.
' The daily vehicular one-way trips generated by the new project on
an average winter weekday is projected to be 24, or .25% of the
' 1986 annual average daily traffic projected for Main Street of
' 9,500 ADT by the Colorado Department of Highways. The peak hours
will coincide with the morning and afternoon ski traffic peaks
' and is estimated to be 4 vehicles per hour.
Trip generation rates have been estimated using the guidelines of
' the 1985 County Road Standards. Due to the central location of
' the project, and very strong transit access, these estimates
should be extremely conservative.
-29-
' These rates are as follows: -
Residential Apartment: 3/du x 3 du's 6 trips
' Business Office: 8/1,000 sf x 2,250 sf = 18 trips
Total daily trips: 24 trips
The project will provide three (3) parking spaces on site, and
' the applicant feels there is adequate on -street parking within a
two (2) block radius of the site to accommodate the parking needs
' of the office employees, the visitors to the offices, and the
' residents of the affordable housing units. The current number of
on -street parking spaces will be maintained by the project. The
' site is also within approximately six hundred and fifty (650)
feet of the site of the proposed public parking structure to be
' located on the Rio Grande property.
' Alternate modes of transportation are provided by the Roaring
Fork Transit Authority; the site is located on all of the routes
' that service various areas of town as well as routes that service
the Snowmass Village area and downvalley.
' The capacity of major streets in the area is more than adequate
to serve the project without altering traffic patterns, creating
safety hazards or maintenance problems, or overloading the street
' system. No road network extensions are necessary to serve the
project. (See Exhibit 7: "Circulation", page 31).

IV(B)(2) (d). Storm Drainage.
The applicant will comply with the on -site detention requirements
of Section 7-1004(C)(4)(f). Prior to the issuance of a building
permit for 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 from the undeveloped site will be
maintained. Short-term on site detention storage in the form of
engineered drywells will be provided. For storm runoff entering
the site from adjacent sites, measures will be taken to maintain
historic drainage patterns and flows.
IV(B) (2) (e) . Parking.
The applicant proposes to provide three (3) parking spaces on -
site to meet the needs of the employees of the project. The
applicant has requested Special Review approval (see Section IV
of this submission) to reduce the off-street parking requirements
for the office
space, as well
as to
waiver
the
parking
requirements for
the affordable
housing
units.
The
Special
Review application addresses the fact that it is not practical
' to provide additional parking spaces on -site, and adequate off -
site parking is available within a six hundred and fifty (650)
foot radius of the project, a distance which includes the
' proposed parking facility, recently approved by the voters, at
the Rio Grande site on North Mill Street. A distance of
-32-
' approximately twelve hundred (1,200) feet is considered to be
reasonable walking distance for pedestrians. In Section V of this
' submission, the applicant has supported the formation of a
parking district to assure that adequate parking is available in
' the area surrounding the project site.

IV. COMMERCIAL GROWTH MANAGEMENT QUOTA SYSTEM SUBMISSION
B. PROVISION OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING
As discussed in the Development Area Analysis, the additional
external FAR square footage of the project is 2,250 square feet.
The net leasable floor area of the project is approximately 1,680
square feet. Using the Office (0) Zone standard for calculating
the number of full-time equivalent employees generated by the
proposed development, as set forth in Section 8-106(F)(3)(b), the
employee generation factor of 3.0 employees per 1,000 square feet
of net leasable area results in employee generation by the
project of 5.04 new employees. In accordance with the
Competitive Thresholds set forth in Section 8-106 (F) (5) (c) , the
proposed development shall provide affordable housing for a
minimum of sixty percent (60%) of the new employees generated.
Therefore, the applicant proposes to provide deed restricted
housing for 3.02 employees.
3 employees/1,000 sf x 1,680 sq ft = 5.04 employees
5.04 x 60% = 3.02 employees generated
The applicant proposes to provide two (2) affordable housing
units in the Moderate Income category on -site at 200 East Main
Street. Specifically, the applicant proposes to include in the
project one (1) studio apartment of approximately 458 square
feet, and one (1) one bedroom apartment of approximately 623
square feet. (See Exhibit 8: "Floor Plan", page 35).

Affordable Housing requirements for three (3.0) employees.
' The balance, specifically the requirement to provide housing for
' an additional .02 employees, will be fulfilled witha payment -in -
lieu of $335.00, in accordance with the Payment -in - Lieu Schedule
' for moderate income levels set forth in Section II(F) of the
Guidelines.
' $16,750/employee x .02 employees = $335.00
' The two (2) Employee Housing units on site will be restricted to
employee occupancy and rent will be determined in accordance with
' the guidelines established by the Housing Authority. The
applicant requests a right -of -first -refusal to rent these two
' units to qualified employees of the project.

I
V. SPECIAL REVIEW APPLICATION: OFF-STREET PARKING REQUIREMENTS
The applicant requests Special Review approval of a reduction in
the number of off-street parking spaces required for the project
under the Office zone district requirements. This application
' will demonstrate that the applicant has provided on -site parking
for the project to the highest degree that is practical. Further,
' the application will show that the parking spaces that are
provided on -site will adequately meet the office and residential
' parking needs of the development. Finally, the application will
' address the City's plans for the Rio Grande parking facility
which will provide additional parking spaces to meet the parking
' needs of the project.
A review of the site plan for the project proposed for 200 East
Main Street will reveal that the area available for on -site
' parking is extremely limited. The footprint for the existing
buildings on the two easternmost lots is such that no off-street
' parking can be provided on these two lots. No more than three
(3) spaces can be provided on the remaining 3,000 square foot lot
' due to the thirty (30) foot width of the lot. Specifically, the
' area at the north end of the 3,000 square foot lot is the only
location available to provide additional parking spaces to meet
' the needs of the additional development.
The proposed project includes 1,680 square feet of net leasable
1
1
-37-
' area to be used for the purpose of office use. Based on the
requirement to provide three (3) spaces per 1,000 square feet of
' net leasable area, the project requires five (5) spaces to meet
the Code requirements. The applicant requests Special Review
' approval for three (3) parking spaces on -site, or 1.8 per 1,000
square feet. (As set forth in Section 5-213(E)(3), the Code
requires a minimum of 1.5 spaces per 1,000 square feet of net
leasable area).
In addition, for residential uses, the Code requires one (1)
' parking space to be provided for each bedroom; this requirement
' may be reduced without limitation under Section 5-213(E)(1) for
sites such as this which include designated historic landmarks.
' Further, under Section 5-301(B), parking to be provided for
affordable housing in all zone districts is to be established by
iSpecial Review. The applicant requests a waiver of the
' residential parking requirement under Special Review procedures,
Article 7, Division 4.
' The applicant feels that the three (3) parking spaces provided
on -site will meet the needs of the residential and office uses of
' the property. This application includes a vicinity map to
' demonstrate that on -street parking is available in the
neighborhood for the employees of the building within reasonable
' walking distance to the building. Specifically, the map
illustrates the availability of on -street parking within a six
1
-38-
1
hundred and fifty (650) foot radius of the project. Located at
the corner of Main and Aspen Streets, the site is served by
several transit routes that service the City of Aspen, as well as
Snowmass Village and the 'downvalley' areas. This location is
within two (2) blocks of the Commercial Core and therefore
provides convenient access to existing retail and service
outlets. This convenient location will reduce the need for the
employees to drive to and from the building several times on a
daily basis.
It is conceivable that two of the employees of the building will
reside in the affordable housing units included in the project.
This could possibly eliminate the need for these employees to
operate a vehicle on a daily basis, and these employees could
therefore park a vehicle off -site on a long term basis. Again,
the fact that the site is located close to the Commercial Core
will provide convenient access to retail and service outlets
without requiring the use of a vehicle.
Plans for a parking facility to be built by the City of Aspen at
the Rio Grande site on South Mill Street will contribute
significantly to meeting the parking needs of the development, as
well as the needs of community. The site for the parking facility
is located approximately six hundred and fifty (650) feet from
the site of the proposed project. As discussed previously, it
will not be necessary for the employees or the residents of the
-39-
' building to use a vehicle on a frequent basis. Therefore, the
parking facility will allow the employees and residents to
' conveniently park at the Rio Grande and walk to their office or
home.
In order to address concern that increased parking demand created
' by the project may impact further on the immediate neighborhood,
the applicant proposes to support the formation of a parking
' improvement district, provided that costs are shared equitably
throughout the district. Such a district might include the
' commercial core and office zones to generate funds to provide
' parking in addition to the Rio Grande structure, recently
approved for construction.
' Alternatively, revenues generated by such a district might be
used to provide enforcement of a parking permit system for the
' residential neighborhood to the north of the project. Such a
program would encourage the use of the new parking structure by
office employees in the area, and assure that parking is
' available to residents of the neighborhood.

APPLICANT'S REQUEST: Exemption from the Growth Management Quota
System for the enlargement of a historic designated landmark, to
construct a detached 2,250 sq. ft. office building with employee
housing on a historic designated site. The applicant also
requests special review to permit a reduction in the off-street
parking requirements for the project.
APPLICANT: The Wheeler -Carter Venture: Wheeler Square
Associates and Richard and Claudette Carter
LOCATION: 200 E. Main Street, Lot K, Block 73, Townsite and City
of Aspen, Colorado (entire parcel includes Lots K, L, and M)
ZONING: "O" Office Zone; Main Street Historic Overlay District;
Designated Historic Landmark
HISTORY: This 9,000 sq. ft. parcel (Lots K, L, and M) was
designated historic in 1976 by the owner at that time, in
recognition of the historic importance of the two 1890's
cottages, occupying Lots L and M, also known as "Gracy's". The
site design for the proposal favored by the HPC calls for a
totally detached structure rather than an expansion of either of
the existing buildings, in order to best respect the integrity
and scale of the adjacent historic structures.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSAL: The Planning Office has determined
that this project is eligible for exemption from GMQS due to its
designated historic landmark status. The important factors in
this determination are:
1. All three lots are landmark designated, not just the two
which currently contain the two historic landmarks (Gracy's)
2. To look at only allowing exemption on the expansion of
an existing historic landmark will drive applicants to a
design that is not preferable for parcels such as this. We
think it is appropriate to consider exemption for this
project.
Should the Commission find exemption inappropriate, GMQS scoring
could be accomplished as the applicant has submitted a dual
•
application for either process. Staff feels exemption is the
appropriate process, however, either method will achieve the
same end result, since to be eligible for the exemption the
applicant must reach the competitive threshold for employee
housing, provide parking, have an acceptable site design, etc.
This is the only development application within the Office Zone
for Commercial Space this year, and uses only 56% of the allowed
GMQS allotment this year. Should the Commission prefer the
scoring method of review and approval, public notice is required
and the proposal will be scheduled for the December 20th meeting.
REFERRAL COMMENTS:
1. Engineering: In a memo dated October 24 from Elyse
Elliott, the following considerations are made:
a. Utilities: All necessary utilities are in close
proximity of the project and will not be greatly
impacted by serving it. The applicant has not
indicated where the utility box area will be located,
which is required by Engineering for their approval.
The applicant shall also provide the required 4' x 4'
pedestal easement adjacent to the alley on either Lot K
or Lot L.
b. Storm Drainage: The application must comply with
the on -site detention requirements of Section 7-
1004 (C) (4) (f) . Prior to the issuance of a building
permit, the Engineering Department has to approve a
drainage plan prepared by a qualified engineer to
assure that the historical rate of runoff is
maintained.
C. Alley: The alley behind the project is currently
unpaved. Engineering recommends the applicant pave the
alley to reduce dust and improve the appearance.
(Refer to Section 7-1004 (C)(3)(a)(4).
d. Circulation: No adverse affect is indicated
e. Sidewalks: Engineering is requiring sidewalks of
at least 5' in width and all improvements to the public
right-of-way conform to the City's Streetscape
Guidelines. The bike rack is a nice amenity. The
raised planter must not encroach onto the right-of-way.
f. Plat: A plat shall be submitted prior to issuance
of the Certificate of Occupancy that meets the
requirements of the Engineering Department.
g. Trash: The project does not provide space on -site
(Lot K) for a dumpster. Instead, the dumpster for this
2
project is located on Lot L, at the rear of Gracy's.
This indicates that one dumpster location will serve
both projects. More information is required by
Engineering on the proposed site of the dumpster
location to insure it can accommodate garbage generated
from both buildings.
h. Parking: Engineering feels that the request for
reduction in parking spaces from five (5) to three (3)
is not viable. Even during the off-season, parking in
this neighborhood is very tight. Presently, there is
parking on this site for three cars that are probably
generated from Gracy's. Construction of an office and
residential building will add to the parking problem,
since each parking space must be 9' wide, and the width
of the lot of 301, only three (3) on -site parking
spaces can fit adjacent to the alley. Engineering is
also requesting to review plans for organized parking
spaces constructed adjacent to the alley on Gracy's.
The footprint of Gracy's building would allow several
on -site parking spaces. Gracy's has a few auxiliary
buildings abutting the alley. Engineering is
requesting a survey to determine if these are
encroaching into the alley right-of-way, which will
require the applicant obtaining an Encroachment License
if they do. Engineering would support the applicant
locating one additional parking space west of the
proposed parking spaces on the City right-of-way.
Engineering feels any reduction in on -site parking
would be doing a disservice to the neighborhood.
i. Construction Schedule: As construction progresses,
the contractor must coordinate with the Engineering
Department for excavations, equipment storage and any
activities on the right-of-way.
2. Aspen Consolidated Sanitation District: In a memo dated
October 19 from Bruce Matherly, the Sanitation District
stated it has sufficient treatment and line capacity to
service the project. The applicant is responsible for
paying plant capacity, line improvement and connection fees
at the time the tap is made.
3. Aspen Fire Protection District: Wayne Vandemark states
the following in a memo dated October 12: "The location is
within a three minute response time from the Fire Station.
With the addition of a new fire hydrant the entire area can
be served more efficiently." The applicant shall address
the Fire Marshall's concerns about:
a. the window wells being an obstruction of the exit
01
0 •
way
b. the exit spacing, first floor discharge.
C. the exit passageway being a rated enclosure
d. subgrade window dimensions qualifying as rescue
windows
4. Water Department: Jim Markalunas, in a memo received in
the Planning Office October 14, states that water can be
supplied, the water main is located in Aspen Street, and
there is sufficient capacity for this project.
5. Housing Authority: In a memo dated October 20, from Jim
Adamski, he states the employee generation for the proposed
1,680 sq.ft. of net leasable office space is 5.04
(1,680/1,000 x 3.0 = 5.04). The applicant commits to house
60% of the 5.04 or 3.02. Housing will be provided in the
following manner:
1 studio on -site employee unit 1.25 emps.
1 one bedroom on -site employee unit 1.75 emps.
Payment -in -lieu .02 emps.
TOTAL 3.02 emps.
The Housing Director recommends application approval with
the following conditions:
A. That a deed restriction approved by the Housing
Authority be recorded for the on -site studio and one
bedroom employee dwelling units before an issuance of a
Building Permit for any portion of the development.
Said units shall be restricted to the then current
Employee Housing Guidelines and indexed to the moderate
income category.
B. The payment -in -lieu for .02 employees shall be made
at the time of issuance of a building permit for any
portion of the proposed development and indexed to the
then current Employee Housing Guidelines Moderate
Income Category.
6. City Attorney: The City Attorney had no comments on the
project.
STAFF CONSENTS: Section 8-104(B)(1)(c) of the code give the
Planning and Zoning Commission the authority to grant an
exemption from GMQS if it is demonstrated that impacts are
mitigated and the following criteria have been adequately
addressed.
Criteria: The applicant shall demonstrate that the
development will mitigate its impacts on the community by
providing employee housing at the level which would meet the
4
•
•
threshold required in Section 8-106 for the use.
Response: The applicant states this is met by providing two
affordable housing units on -site, including one (1) studio
apartment of approximately 458 sq. ft., and one(1) one
bedroom apartment of approximately 623 sq. ft.
Staff agrees that this application meets code requirements
and the community's affordable housing goals of 60% of the
1,680 sq. ft. net leasable office space. The employee
generation based on this square footage is 5.04, or three
(3) per 1,000 sq. ft., with the applicant committing to
house 60% or 3.02 employees. The remaining .02 employees
shall be paid cash -in -lieu.
Criteria: The applicant shall provide parking according to
the standards of the code.
Response:
The following are review standards for Parking - Special
Review in the Office Zone district:
Residential Uses: One (1) space per bedroom; fewer
spaces may be provided by special review for historic
landmarks
All other Uses (except Lodge Use): Three (3) spaces
per 1,000 sq. feet of net leasable area; fewer spaces
may be provided by Special Review, but no fewer than
1.5 spaces per 1,000 sq. ft. of net leasable.
The proposed project generates the following parking needs:
Net Leasable: 1,680
Required Parking: 5 spaces
Special Review Reduction: 2
New Bedrooms created: 2
Required Parking 2 (may be waived)
The applicant is requesting special review for parking
reduction from five (5) to three (3) on -site spaces for the
office space, as well as to waive the parking requirements
for the two (2) affordable housing units. The applicant
states that they have provided on -site parking for the
project to the highest degree that is practical. The
special review application addresses the fact that it is not
practical to provide additional parking spaces on -site (Lot
K), and adequate off -site parking is available within a 650
foot radius of the project, a distance which includes the
proposed Rio Grande parking facility, recently voter
5
approved. The applicant also points out that approximately
1,200 ft. is considered to be a reasonable walking distance
for pedestrians. In Section V of the application, the
applicant has supported the formation of a parking district
to assure that adequate parking is available in the area
surrounding the project site.
The applicant also states that it is conceivable that two of
the employees of the building will reside in the affordable
housing units included in the project. This could possibly
eliminate the need for these employees to operate a vehicle
on a daily basis, and these employees could therefore park a
vehicle off -site on a long term basis. As the project is
located in very close proximity to the Commercial Core,
providing convenient pedestrian access to retail and
services, the need for employees driving to and from the
building several times a day will be reduced.
Staff supports the Engineering Department's arguments that
the applicant should provide one more parking space. While
the site (Lot K) itself does not lend itself to provide for
more than the already proposed parking spaces, additional
parking needs are generated by the project. Staff feels the
applicant has not developed a satisfactory parking
arrangement to adequately address the needs of the site.
The immediate neighborhood is impacted by parking on Bleeker
St., and surrounding the Aspen Community Church. Vehicles,
probably those of Gracy's employees, park on the vacant Lot
K now. The retail nature of Gracy's creates additional
customer parking needs as well. The proposal does not
address the displacement issue of those vehicles currently
utilizing the vacant lot for parking.
Staff does support the waiver of parking requirements for
the two (2) affordable housing residential units. The
primary impacts are related to the office use.
Approximately ten (10) new employees, will be generated by
the project.
The Commission may wish to require cash -in -lieu for any
reduction in on -site parking. The Planning Director brings
to the Commission's attention that while cash -in -lieu was
permitted in the other commercial zones in the new code, it
was inadvertently left out with regard to the office zone
and will be included in the code amendment ordinance later
this year.
The applicant should be required to locate a fourth parking
space on the parcel, on Lots L and M, if possible. Staff
recommends a condition of approval be to require that the
employee units will only be rented or sold to the building's
employees to reduce parking needs for the site.
N.
U
•
Criteria: The project must meet water, sewage, drainage
control, transportation, fire protection and solid waste
needs.
Response: The applicant has addressed each of the issues in
the application; referral comments have been received by
each respective department, and are included in the memo.
Staff recommends the applicant meet all the requirements as
stated in the Engineering Department's and Fire Marshall's
review memorandum.
Criteria: The applicant shall demonstrate that the
project's site design is compatible with surrounding
projects and appropriate for the site.
Response: The proposed building will contain approximately
1,390 sq. ft. of floor area on the first floor, and 860 sq.
ft. on the second floor, both floors will be used for office
space. The basement level will contain two residential
units to be deed -restricted as affordable housing pursuant
to Section 8-109.
Staff generally agrees with the applicant that the proposed
project is compatible in nature to the surrounding projects,
and respects the design integrity issues of the Main Street
Historic District. Three meetings were held with the
Historic Preservation Committee, with final approval granted
on August 23, 1988. The HPC found the proposal's general
design in keeping with the Historic District and Historic
Landmark Development Guidelines. The massing, scale,
setbacks, height, fenestration, roof pitch, and materials
all reflect a great deal of sensitivity in design, and are
compatible, though not replicatory, to other historic
structures in the immediate neighborhood, and on Main
Street. The applicant worked closely with the HPC to insure
a "residential in nature" design.
The Historic Preservation Committee granted two variations
on the project: minimum distance between buildings and
side yard setback. To provide for the positive design
consideration of the major west elevation, a gabled
projection was approved to add relief to the otherwise
massive two-story flat wall. This created the need to grant
the side yard setback variation. Design challenges for this
infill, detached structure on a 3,000 sq.ft. lot also
required the variation of minimum distance between
buildings. The proposed structure's footprint varies
between 8' and 10' from the adjacent cottage (Gracy's).
Code requires the minimum distance between buildings in the
Office zone to be ten (10) feet. Comments from the Fire
7
U
Marshall were solicited by staff for HPC review. Wayne
Vandemark stated this minimum -distance variation would be
acceptable provided the new structure would contain a
sprinkler system. The applicant agreed to this condition at
the Final HPC review meeting.
SUMMARY: The proposal represents a good design solution for a
narrow, challenging site within the Main Street Historic Overlay
District in the Office Zone. The applicant has mitigated
impacts according to the code requirements.
RECOMMENDATION: The Planning Office recommends that the Planning
Commission recommend approval for the project at 200 East Main,
with the following conditions:
1. Engineering: The following requirements by the
Engineering Department shall be accomplished prior to when
a building permit is granted:
a. Submit drawing to the Engineering Department
indicating where the utility box will be located
b. Provide the required 4' x 4' pedestal easement
adjacent to the alley on either Lot K or Lot L
C. Comply with storm drainage on -site detention
requirements of Section 7-1004 (C) (4) (f) . Submit a
drainage plan for approval by the Engineering
Department, prepared by a qualified engineer to assure
that the historical rate of runoff is maintained
d. Pave the alley to reduce dust and improve the
appearance (Section 7-1004 (C)(3)(a)(4)
e. Sidewalks must be at least 5' in width and all
improvements to the public right-of-way conform to the
City's Streetscape Guidelines. A planting strip
between the sidewalk and curb must be included.
f. The raised planter must be relocated on site to not
encroach into the right-of-way
g. A plat shall be submitted prior to issuance of the
Certificate of Occupancy that meets the requirements of
the Engineering Department
h. Provide the Engineering Department, for their
approval, more information on the proposed site of the
dumpster located to insure it can accommodate garbage
generated from both the new structure and Gracy's.
i. The contractor must coordinate with the Engineering
n
Department for excavations, equipment storage and any
activities on the right-of-way.
j. Parking: The applicant shall provide a minimum of
four on -site parking spaces, and shall be required to
pay cash -in -lieu for any reduction in commercial
parking by special review. Staff recommends the
residential parking spaces for the two new bedrooms
created in the affordable housing units be waived,
without a cash -in -lieu requirement, finding that the
potential impact of these spaces is considerably less
than that created by the commercial/office space
proposed.
2. Housing: A deed restriction approved by the Housing
Authority be recorded for the on -site studio and one
bedroom employee dwelling units before an issuance of a
building permit for any portion of the development.
Said units shall be restricted to the then current
Employee Housing Guidelines and indexed to the moderate
income category. The affordable housing units shall
only be rented or sold to the building's employees to
reduce parking needs for the site.
The payment -in -lieu for .02 employees shall be made at
the time of issuance of a building permit for any
portion of the proposed development and indexed to the
then current Employee Housing Guidelines Moderate
Income Category.
3. Sanitation: The applicant shall pay plant capacity,
line improvement and connection fees at the time the
tap is made
4. Fire: The applicant shall meet the Fire Marshall's
requirements, prior to a building permit being granted,
regarding the exit passageway being a rated enclosure,
and that the subgrade window dimensions qualify as
rescue windows. The new structure shall contain an
approved sprinkler system due to the close proximity to
the adjacent historic landmark structure. The
applicant shall also address the Fire Marshall's
concerns regarding the window wells being an
obstruction of the exit way, and that the exit spacing,
first floor discharge, meets the requirements. Written
approval of these issues from the Fire Marshall shall
be received in the Building Department prior to a
building permit being granted.

From Alan Richman:
It seems to me that in defining a landmark, we took care not to have
it mean site, unless it referred to something like the Ute Cemetary.
Therefore, the only variation HPC should allow is for the landmark
itself. On the other hand, this may not be too sensible because it
may force people to attach new structures to old when separation is
preferred. This should probably be cleaned up in my correction
Ordinance later this year. For now, I guess I'd be willing to let
HPC grant, if the findings are made quite explicit.
Preceding message:
From Roxanne Eflin:
I need a ruling re: development at 200 E. Main. Can HPC grant a
variation (setback) for a NEW structure being built within a local
district (Main Street) on a designated (H) vacant lot? Sec. 7-601 D
(1)(a) is the wording in question.
Obviously the new building is not a "Historic Landmark".We are faced
with a compatibility issue and need to grant this variation based on
the finding.

From Fred Gannett:
the new structure must be compatable w/ the historic structure
located on the parcel (the old Gracy's building?); but the issue is
whether the new structure, not the historic structure, required a set
back variation. I read this section to permit variations for new
construction that infringes on, into an adjacent landmark, but not
necessarily for variations not infringing on the landmark. What do
you think?

Re: Parking Requirement at 200 E. Main
Dear Holly:
Subsequent to our meeting of November 15, I have undertaken an
inspection of the 200 E. Main site and adjacent property. I have
also spoken with Elyse Elliott in my office and Roxanne Eflin in
Planning regarding your request for consideration of parking that
would encroach in the Aspen Street right-of-way.
By way of response, I cannot support a request for encroachment
in order to provide parking for the 200 E. Main structure. On
inspecting the area, I observed that space is available just east
of the site on the existing Gracy's property. This area is not
fenced in, as Don indicated during our meeting, but is currently
in use for parking. If the concern is the displacement of
current parking behind Gracy's, I would still note that space is
available, subject to some reconstruction, behind the existing
structures further to the east.
As I stated on the phone today, you certainly retain the option
of requesting an encroachment license or a further reduction of
the parking requirement from City Council as they have ultimate
authority in these matters. Such requests would be subject to
our review and comment and I would say that we do not find the
rationale compelling at this time.
Please contact Elyse Elliott in my office for further discussion
as she has generally been handling the application.

Re: 200 E. Main Encroachment Request
Date: December 21, 1988
In our previous review of this project for GMQS Exemption
approval, the Planning Office agreed with the Engineering
Department that a reduction in parking by special review to
anything less than five spaces could not be recommended.
Therefore, we support any additional parking the applicant is
able to produce on site to help alleviate further parking impacts
this new project is likely to produce. The Planning Office finds
the request for encroachment would not impact the character of
the site.

Date: October 24, 1988
Re: 200 E. Main St., GMQS Exemption
After reviewing the above application and making a site
inspection, the Engineering Department has the following
comments:
1. Utilities - All necessary utilities are in close proximity of
this project and will not be greatly impacted by serving it. The
submitted drawing does not show where the utility box area will
be located. We need to have this shown, so that it's size and
location can be approved. Also, the City needs to have a 4' x 4'
pedestal easement adjacent to the alley on either this project or
Gracy's.
2. Storm Drainage - This application must comply with the on -
site detention requirements of Section 7-1004 (C) (4) (f). Prior
to the issuance of a building permit, the Engineering Department
has to approve a drainage plan prepared by a qualified engineer
to assure that the historical rate of runoff is maintained.
3. Alley - The alley behind this project is presently unpaved.
We would recommend that the applicant pave the alley to reduce
the dust and improve the appearance. This is provided for in
Section 7-1004 (C) (3) (a) (4).
4. Circulation - This project will not adversely effect the
circulation of the area. The adjacent streets are in adequate
condition and will be minimally impacted by the trips generated.
5. Sidewalks - The sidewalks must be at least 5' wide and all
improvements in the public right-of-way must conform to the
City's Streetscape Guidelines. The bike rack is a nice amenity.
The raised planter must not encroach onto the right-of-way.
6. Plat - A plat shall be submitted prior to issuance of
Certificate of Occupancy that meets the requirements of the
Engineering Department.
7. Trash - The project does not provide space on -site for a
dumpster. Instead, the dumpster for this project is located on
Gracy's parcel. By doing this, it is assumed that one dumpster
location will serve both projects. We need more information on
•
the proposed size of the dumpster location to insure that it can
accommodate garbage generated from both projects. The minimum
size of the dumpster area has to be 5' x 101.
8. Parking - We feel that the request for reduction in parking
spaces from 5 to 3 is not viable. Even during the off-season,
parking in this neighborhood is very tight. Presently, there is
parking on this site for three cars that is probably being used
by Gracy's. Construction of an office and residential building
will add to the parking problem. Since each parking space must
be 9' wide, and the width of the lot is 301, only 3 on -site
parking spaces can fit adjacent to the alley. We would like to
see some organized parking spaces constructed adjacent to the
alley on Gracy's. The footprint of Gracy's building would allow
several on -site parking spaces. Gracy's has a few auxiliary
buildings abutting the alley. We would like a survey to see if
these are encroaching onto the alley right-of-way. If they are
encroaching, the applicant has to obtain an Encroachment License.
If the applicant chooses to locate one additional parking space
west of the proposed parking spaces on the City right-of-way, we
would support this proposal.
In short, we do not support any reduction in on -site parking and
feel that it would be doing a disservice to the neighborhood.
9. Construction Schedule - As construction progresses, the
contractor has to coordinate with the Engineering Department for
excavations, equipment storage and any activities on the right-
of-way.

RE: 200 E. Main GMQS Exemption
DATE: October 12, 1988
I have reviewed this application and find that the location is
within a three minute response time from the Fire Station. With
the addition of a new fire hydrant the entire area can be served
more efficiently. I do have some concerns about window wells
being an obstruction of the exit way. Another item of concern
is exit spacing, first floor discharge. Is exit passage way a
rated enclosure? Will subgrade window dimensions qualify as
rescue windows?
