Members present were Charles Collins, Olaf Hedstrom, Welton Anderson and Nancy McDonnell. Also present were Karen Smith Jim Reents and Richard Grice of the Planning Office. Di ttr,1ar Subdivision Exemption Grice introduced the application. The application requests subdivision exemption for the condominiumization of an existing duplex owned by Billy Dittmar which is located in the Pitkin Mesa Subdivision. Dave Ellis noted a problem with the legal description. Ron Stock recommended approval provided that the property is deed restricted to grant the existing tenants the right to notice if the unit is offered for sale and granting to the tenants a 90 day option to purchase as well as a 90 day exclusive right of first refusal. Furthermore, he recommended that the property be deed restricted to a six month minimum lease term with no more than two shorter tenancies in any calendar year. The Planning Office recommends approval subject to these conditions. Hedstrom moved to recommend exemption from the application of the subdivision regulations for the Dittmar duplex located in Block 1 of the Pitkin Mesa Subdivision inasmuch as the intents and purposes of the regulations have been satisfied and the rental unit has not fallen within the Low, Moderate and Middle Income Guidelines and sUbject to the following conditions: 1) the existing tenant be granted the right to notice if the unit is offered for sale and granting to the tenants a 90 day option to purchase as well as a 90 day exclusive right of first refusal, 2) the property be deed restricted to a six month minimum lease term with no more than two shorter tenancies in any calendar year, Anderson seconded. All in favor, motion approved. Jerome Professional Building, Special Review Reents introduced the application. This application is a special review for parking reduction in the "0" office zone. The proposed structure totals 9100 square feet on a 12,000 square foot lot at Bleeker and Mill. The current Code requires three parking spaces per 1000 square feet of commercial area with a reduction by special review to a minimum of 1.S spaces per 1000 square feet. The applicant is requesting a reduction in parking to IS spaces which is one space over the 1.S to 1000 ratio. The Planning Office recommends approval. Jeffrey Sachs noted that if this is denied they will have to use the alley which he did not feel was the City's first choice. A man from the audience who owns the property next door noted that the parking in the neighborhood is very bad. He said he often gets parked into his driveway although he has agreements with the dairyman. Sachs noted that this will add IS spaces for the employees and the customers can park at the Rio Grande. The Board discussed their concerns with the parking and circulation problems in that area and the possible increased impacts of the Trueman Center and its new uses. Anderson moved to approve the special review for reduction in parking from 27 spaces required to IS spaces required because of the physical restraints of the site, the location and proximity to parking, McDonnell seconded. All in favor motion approved. Gaard Moses, 8040 Greenline Review Reents introduced the application. He noted that the building is already in existence without review approval. The City Attorney has proposed that Gaard Moses remove -2- Regular Meeting Aspen Planning and Zoning Commission June 5, 1979 approcimately ~ of the second floor as a punitive action due to the fact the building was built without proper ap- provals. Tom Dunlop has requested no final approval until he can examine the permit and design for the onsite waste disposal system. The removal of the portion of the structure would eliminate the area of the building which can currently be seen from town. The Planning Office recommends approval based on inspection and the existing project being brought up to City Code for both building and sanitation and what removals required by the City Attorney take place in a timely fashion. Moses was present and submitted pictures of the dwelling and the surrounding property. He said the addition was 90% completed. Reents read the nine criteria for 8040 Greenline Review. Hedstrom moved to approve the entire structure conditioned on sanitation approval by the City Sanitarian that the project be brought up to the City Building Code and that an agreement reached by the applicant and the City Attorney to legalize the structure take place in a timely fashion, Andersonseconded. All in favor, motion approved. L-l Zone Code Amendment Reents introduced an amendment that would add multifamily residences, single family and duplex residences to the permitted use section of the L-l zone. The Board was concerned with the possible impacts of this amendment. They felt it would take alot of documentation to deter- mine the number of lots that would be affected. They did not feel there was much demand for such an amendment and noted that the amendment was initiated by one specific application. They did not support the amendment at this time. S/C/I Zone Redraft The Board set a public hearing for this item on July 2, 1979, at 5:00 PM. Anderson moved to adjourn the meeting, McDonnell seconded. All in favor, motion approved. Meeting adjourned at 8:00 PM. ~~#/rPA<) Sheryl en, Deputy City Clerk ''"- -
