MEMORANDUM
TO:
Bill Drueding, Zoning Officer
FROM:
Leslie Lamont, Planning
RE:
Cache Cache Restaurant GMQS Exemption by Planning
Director
DATE:
April 30, 1993
----------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The applicant, Phillipe Mollicchi, as represented by
Sunny Vann, seeks to exchange 246 square feet of net leasable
square feet for 246 square feet of storage in order to expand the
main dining area.
ZONING: Commercial Core, cc
STAFF COMMENTS: Pursuant to Section 24-8-104 A.1. (d) the Planning
Director may exempt the expansion of a commercial or office space
if no new net leasable is added.
The applicant, seeking to expand the main dining area, proposes the
following:
* eliminate a second dining room;
* turn 246 square feet of the second dining area into storage;
* move the existing office space into the remaining space of
the second dining room;
* extend the main dining room to include the area under the
covered walkway for a total expansion of 246 square feet.
Zoning and Engineering questioned whether this expansion was
encroaching into non-conforming open space. When the building was
built, in the early '80'S, the definition of open space pertained
to unobstructed open space from the ground to the sky. The second
floor balcony that overhangs the courtyard prevents the open area
below to be considered calculable open space.
The 246 square foot dining room expansion is not considered net
leasable because 246 square feet of storage space is being created
in exchange.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the GMQS Exemption
for the expansion of commercial space which does not increase the
new leasable with the following conditions:
1. The dining room is to be expanded by 246 square feet (excluding
the old office space) and 246 square feet of the second dining room
shall be converted to storage only.
2. Prior to issuance of a certificate of Occupancy, an inspection
of the expansion and converted storage and office space shall be
conducted to confirm no new leasable has been added to the
restaurant space.
3. All representations made by the applicant and on the submitted
plans shall be adhered to during development.
4. Prior to issuance of any building permits, plans shall be
reviewed for zoning compliance.
I hereby approve the GMQS Exemption for
the enlargement of a commercial use which
does not increase its net leasable square
footage pursuant to section 8-104 A. of
\:~Pter,24 of he Mu ic' al Code.

From: Chuck Roth, City Engineer ~

Re: Cache Cache GMQS Exemption
Having reviewed the above referenced application, and having made a site inspection, the
Engineering Department has the following comments:
L Parking - In CC zone, 2 parking spaces are required per 1,000 square feet of net
leasable space, The application requests an additional 198 square feet. The parking space
requirement for this increase would be 0.4 spaces, The Code provides for disregarding
parking requirements of less than 1/2 space. If any other applications are received in the
future for the Mill Street Plaza, this fractional parking space impact should be
accumulated with parking calculations at that time.
2, Drainar:e - Since the increased space is underneath an existing balcony, there would
be no changes to storm runoff drainage patterns,
3. Trash - The requested increased net leasable space represents a potential for a small
increase in trash for the Mill Street Plaza. This increase should and must be able to be
handled on site.
4, Previous Reviews - Other spaces in this building have been reviewed at least once in
the past (Gordon's ?), I do not know if this space has been reviewed,
5. Sidewalks - Sections of the sidewalk along Hopkins Avenue are in a deteriorating
condition, Portions meet the Code Section 19-104 as "hazardous sidewalk." I will
separately notify the property owner of the need to repair the hazardous sidewalk, It
would be best to completely replace the deteriorating portions of sidewalk. It is my
understanding that there is electric heat in the sidewalk, This may be part of the concrete
decay problem, Currently, Public Works will not issue a permit for electric sidewalk snow
melt systems. There was an incident some years ago of a dog tied to a railing being
electrically shocked on wet sidewalk that contained an electric snow melt system,
,
Sections of the interior walkways at the Cache Cache level are also in deteriorating
condition. Walkways on private property are not regulated by City Code or DBC, to the
best of my knowledge, however I suggest that their repair be a condition of approval.
There are concrete benches at the Cache Cache level, in the courtyard, that are in
a state of decay.
6. Curbs - The curbs along both the Mill Street and Hopkins Avenue frontages are in
generally poor condition. Some sections are completely missing. The Code does not
define "hazardous curb." In any event, I suggest that replacement of the missing sections
of curb be required.
Recommended Conditions of Approva]
1. Prior to issuance of a building permit, the missing sections of curb shall be replaced,
and the sidewalks and interior walkways shall be repaired.

THE ONLY QUESTION I HAVE IS DOES THIS REDUCE REQUIRED OPEN SPACE?
THE LOWER COURTYARD WAS COUNTED IN THEIR REQUIRED OPEN SPACE WHEN
THIS BUILDING WAS BUILT..THE DEFINITION OF OPEN SPACE HAS BEEN
CHANGED CAUSING THIS AREA TO BECOM NON-COINFORMING OPEN SPACE. IF
THE ARE UNDER THE OVERHANG WASPREVIOUSLY COUNTED, THEN THE
ENCLOSURE WOULD REULT IN INCREASING A NON-CONFORMITY.. I WILL
RESEARCH THEIR ORINGIAL APPROVALS AND WE SHOULD GET TOGETHER ON THIS
ISSUE.

Re: Cache Cache Restaurant GMQS Exemption
Dear Leslie:
Please consider this letter an application for a growth management quota system
(GMQS) exemption for the remodeling of the Cache Cache restaurant, which is
located at 205 North Mill Street in the Mill Street Plaza building (see Exhibit 1, Pre-
Application Conference Summary, attached hereto). Please note that a separate
application for HPC minor development plan approval has been submitted to Kim
Johnson. This application is tentatively scheduled for review by the HPC on April
28, 1993.
Both applications are submitted by Phillipe Mollicchi, the owner of the restaurant.
Pennission from the building's owners, Mill Street Plaza Associates, for Mr. Mollic-
chi to submit the application is attached as Exhibit 2. A letter from Anthony J.
Mazza attesting to Mill Street Plaza Associates' ownership of the building is attached
as Exhibit 3. Pennission for Vann Associates to represent the Applicant is attached
as Exhibit 4.
Pursuant to Section 8-104.A.1.d. of the Land Use Regulations, the Planning Director
may exempt from the GMQS the expansion of an existing commercial use in a
building which does not increase its net leasable square footage. Section 8-104.A.2.,
however, requires that an application for a building pennit for the proposed expan-
sion be submitted prior to the Director's approval of the GMQS exemption. As no
increase in net leasable area is proposed, and the Applicant wishes to confinn his
ability to expand the restaurant use prior to the preparation of construction docu-
ments, we respectfully request that this requirement be waived. A building pennit
application will be submitted upon the receipt of HPC minor development plan
approval and the requested GMQS exemption.
As the accompanying architectural plans illustrate, the Applicant wishes to consoli.
date the restaurant's two (2) dining rooms to improve setvice, and to provide for an
230 East Hopkins Avenue' Aspen. Co!orado 81611 . 303/925-6958' Fax 303/920-9310

enlarged office and a new internal storage area. To accomplish these objectives, the
Applicant proposes to expand the main dining room to include the covered walkway
which abuts the restaurant's south facade. The expansion will involve approximately
two hundred and forty-six (246) square feet. Of this amount, approximately one
hundred and ninety-eight (198) square feet meet the definition of net leasable area.
To offset the resulting increase in the restaurant's net leasable square footage, an
equivalent or greater amount of the secondary dinning room will be converted to
tenant storage. As you know, such areas are exempt from the calculation of net
leasable square footage pursuant to Section 3-101 of the Regulations. The restau-
rant's existing office will be relocated to the remainder of the secondary dining room,
and the old office area converted to dining space.
With respect to floor area, a substantial portion of the two hundred and forry-six
(246) square foot addition is exempt from floor area calculations, as it is located one
hundred (100) percent below grade. The remainder, while countable as floor area,
does not increase the building's total floor area above the maximum aIlowed. Based
on the CC zone district's floor area ratio of 1.5:1, the eighteen thousand (18,000)
square foot Mill Street Plaza property is aIlowed a maximum floor area of twenty-
seven thousand (27,000) square feet. As Table 1, below, indicates, the existing
building's floor area is significantly less than the maximum aIlowed.
