TO: Aspen Planning and Zoning Commission
FROM: Karen Smith, Planning Office
RE: Arrowhead Preliminary Plat
DATE: October 13, 1978
On Tuesday, October 17, the Aspen Planning and ~oning Commission will hold
a public hearing to consider the preliminary plat submission of the Arrow-
head Condominiums. As you will recall, this application involves a four
unit apartment building to be located on Original Street and bordering on
the Glory Hole Park to the north. The new structure will actually be a
replacement for two structures which now sit on the property that are vacant
because tenants were given notice that their leases terminated when the
property was sold from Mr. Guernsey to Paul Deutz. Concerns expressed at
the Conceptual Subdivision Review included the Engineer's concern regarding
parking off the alley, and includedlthe potential loss of employee housing
as reviewed under Ordinance #53, the condominiumization ordinance.
On July 24th, the City Council reconsidered an earlier motion on the Con-
ceptual Approval and granted Conceptual Review. The key issue was that
of displacement of tenants and the resolution was that one of the units
in the new structure would be devoted to employee housing under the City's
1978 Housing Price Guidelines and involving some continuing control. It
was felt that this would in part mitigate the tenant displacement that had
previously occured when the property was sold. Other conditions that Council,
attached to its approval were:
1. That all units be subject to a six month minimum lease.
2. That the City Engineer's concerns regarding the location and placement
of parking off the alley be resolved through the Preliminary Plat
Review.
The Preliminary Plat which was submitted about a month ago, indicates that
the four new units will involve one 3 bedroom unit at 2,807 square feet,
two 2 bedroom units at 1,838 square feet each and a third 2 bedroom unit at
1,615 square feet. Such a unit configuration requires 9,000 square feet of
lot area for a 3 bedroom and 2,000 square feet for each 2 bedroom. We note
that the proposal does conform to the area and bulk requirements for the
RMF zone district regarding minimal lot area per d~elling unit on parcels
of 9,000 square feet and less. The project does appear to comply with the
set-back requirements for the RMF district and do~s comply with the parking
requirement of one space per bedroom.
We have received the following comments from various referral agencies:
1. Heiko Kuhn, of the Aspen Metro Sanitation District, indicated that
Metro can provide sanitation service to the Arrowhead project. The
service line depth out of the building should be checked out care-
fully as our trunk line depth is about four feet in this area.
2. Bob Jacobs, Fire Marshall, indicated that his visual inspection of
the property turned up no unusual fire protection problems. The
nearest fire hydrant is supplied by a six inch water main, and is
located at the northwest corner of Original and Durant Streets,
approximately 185 feet from the northwest corner of the project.
Maximum clearance on the north side parking area must be maintained
as only fire access to east of building is through the alley.
3. Willard Clapper of Rocky Mountain Natural Gas, saw no problem in
serving the project with the gas utility.

4. Dave Ellis, City Engineer, is still reviewing the project. His
preliminary feedback was that he saw no severe problems which would
hold up the project. We expect his final comment prior to Tuesday's
meeting.
The final concern is the nature of the Housing Price Guidelines for the employee
unit and the nature of continuing controls over rental price or resale of tha:t
unit. Albie Kern as attoreny for the Deutzs has sent us a letter on Septem- ,
ber 26, 1978 proposing that one condominium unit will be reserved for use
and occupancy in the low income category to be rented or leased based on the'
1978 City of Aspen Growth Management Plan Housing Price Guidelines. This is
in accordance with the Council's condition that the employee unit meet ,the
low income housing price guidelines. That guideline for 1978 was $300 per
month or under for a two bedroom 800 square foot unit which rental may be
adjusted proportionately greater than 800 square feet. Albie Kern offered
that the rent increases be tied to a rise in the cost of living as set forth
in the consumer price index. He and the City Attorney have had discussions
about this and two a1tennatives were discussed. One was to proceed as Albie
suggested and the second was to commit to the $300 for five years. Since
Council did not specify a time period for control of that unit and since the r
inclination appears to be a time period which reasonably keeps the unit with
in the low income category over time, we agree with Ron that the applicant
should commit either to a longer time period subject to the inflation mech-
anism suggested by Ron (i.e. the average of the national housing price index
and the Denver price index) or that the rental rate of $300 based on a 800
square foot two bedroom unit be maintained without increase for the minimum
five years. We will ask for clarification from the City Attorney prior to
Tuesday's meeting.
Approval should be conditioned on:
1. Any reconfi gurati on of the unit types (i. e. numbers of bedrooms in
each) to conform with the area and bulk requirments for the RMF
district.
2. Satisfaction of any comments which we may receive from the City
Engineer prior to Tuesday.
3. Attention to the service line depth out of the building as suggested
by the Aspen Metro Sanitation District.
4. Maintenance ofc1earance on the north side of the parking area in order
to preserve the only fire access which is to the east of the building
through the alley.
5. Resolution of the continuing price control for the employee unit
satisfactory to the City Attorney. We note also that the new Housing
Price Guidelines proposed by the City Attorney's office carry with
them a maximum square footage for employee units. If one of the two
bedroom units is devoted to employee housing it should be limited to
a maximum of 1,000 squal"efeet in accordance with the prke guidelines
which were adopted by City Council on October 9th.
Given Council's earlier approval, the only reservations that the Planning
Office now has is tht the price controls of the low income unit be resolved
in the manner that best preserves the employee housing goal. That may mean
that the des i gn shou1 d be redrawn to 1 imi t the si ze and therefore lower,
the rental of that unit.

Re: Arrowhead Preliminary Plat
Dear Ms. Smith:
We have reviewed the preliminary plat of Arrowhead Apartments and found we will re-
quire no additional easements.
May we'sl.!,ggest the following phraseology be used in the dedication of easements
within said subdivision.
"And hereby dedicate to the public all the streets, avenues and roads as shown on,
the accompanying plat, forever, and dedicate to the UTILITIES those portions of r~al
property which are labeled as utility easements on the accompanying plat, as easeL
ments for the installation and maintenance of utilities and drainage facilities, ,
including, but not limited to, electric lines, gas lines, telephone lines; togeth~r
with the right to trim interfering trees and brush; together with the perpetual right
of ingress and egress for installation, maintenance and replacement of such lines,;
said easements and rights shall be utilized in a reasonable and prudent manner." '
We believe all preliminary, as well as final plats, should show the dedication or,
reference to the particular "Protective Covenants" which will run with the property.
Also, all "Private Roads" should be dedicated to the utilities for the installatibn,
I
maintenance and operation of gas, lights, power and telephone lines. No easements
should be dedicated to the property owner, cities or counties exclusively; all ease-
ments should be dedicated to the utility companies.
The above request is in accordance with C.R.S. 106-2-34 (3) (d) (viii) and the
Colorado Land Use Commission's paragraph 5-2, Item #G-7.
,Me appreciate the opportunity of being able to review this plat.
Very truly yours,

TO: Aspen City Council
FROM: Karen Smith, Planning Office
RE: Arrowhead Condominiumization - Conceptual Subdivision
DATE: July 20, 1978
On June 26, 1978, City Council voted three to three and therefore failed to
pass a motion to approve the Arrowhead condominiumization. This application
involved the construction of a new 4 unit condominium on a site next to
Glory Hole Park where two structures containing 4 units will be removed.
The discussion in previous considerations had centered around the tenant
displacement resulting from this reconstruction. We had received letters
from three tenants (local employees) who noted that it was Hot their desire
to be evicted from their units. This in fact has resulted since none of
the leases were renewed, coinciding with the sale of the property by Mr,
and Mrs. Guernsey (Mr. Guernsey is now deceased) to Mr. Paul Deutz of
Mexico.
The Planning Office,in our May 5 memo to Council, and after receiving the
recommendation of Mark Danielsen, Housing Director, did not recommend approval!
unless a condition was attached that "the preliminary plat show a configuration
of units that lends itself to maintaining at least some employee housing on the
site. " Although we discussed the matter wi tl\ the appl i cant's attorney and i
several weeks later received the answer that Mr. Deutz would be willing to
provide one studio unit as an employee rental unit, this did not come out clea:r-
ly in Council's June 26 meeting. At least one Councilmanllwished to reconsideri
the matter on this basis.
Although there already has been a net displacement of a least three and pros-
ablY four low and moderate income persons, the offer of one unit does repre-
sent a compromise.If Council agrees to this compromise in satisfaction of
Ordinance 53, we suggest that it condition ".. approval on either tenant
qualification through the Housing Authority or commitment to rental guide-
lines in the low income ranges as established by Council for the 1978 Growth
Management reviews. We prefer the latter as having .the most direct effect.
Commitment to the low income range (based on $300jmo. rent for an 800 sq. ft.
2 bedrooomapartment; therefore" :adjustments wi 11 be made based on si ze)
will further compensate for the fact that there has been greater tenant
displacement than just one unit will answer. Please note that any approval
should be conditioned further on satisfaciton of the City Engineerts concerns
regarding increasing the depth of the on-site parking aneato 22 feet in order
to compensate for the fact that perpendi culi ar parking requi res a minimum
24 foot alley and the present one is only 20 feet.

Conceptual Approval
Dear Karen:
As you no doubt recall, the City Council, at their meeting
on June 26, 1978, voted three to three on a motion to approve
the conceptual subdivision of the Arrowhead CondOminiums project.
You can understand my disappointment in this "disapproval," but
particularly since neither you nor the housing director prese~ted
to the Council the compromise which had been suggested by you'
and had been accepted by us, which was that the developer
would provide one condominium studio unit available for rental
by an "employee." You might recall that the housing director
offered one suggested compromise, but never referred to the
above alternative, which had been discussed by all of the
parties and, as I advised both you and Mark, had been agreed
to by Mr. Deutz. In a discussion with one of the councilmen
who had voted against approval, he informed me that if a studio
unit was available for employee rental, he would have voted
favorably.
In light of the above, I would appreciate your setting
another conceptual hearing at the next City Council meeting
for the Arrowhead Condominiums project to review the proposed
compromise.

RE: The Arrowhead Condominiums Conceptual Subdivision
DATE: June 8, 1978
The application for conceptual subdivision approval for the Arrowhead
Condominiums was before you at your first meeting in May. The matter
was tabled at that time because the applicant could not be present. The
application involves the reconstruction of two structures in four units
into one fourplex on Lots K, L, and M, Block 113 off ofOriginal"Avenue
near Glory Hole Park. As you will recall the Engineering Department had
commented regarding parking. They noted that it will be necessary to in-
crease the depth of the on site parking as shown on the conceptual plan
to twenty-two (22) feet. This is to compensate for the fact that perpen-
dicular parking requires a minimum of a twenty-four (24) foot alley and
the alley is only twenty (20) feet. Marc Danielson had reviewed the cur-
rent tenant history of the two buildings on the site and recommended against
the condominiumization request on the grounds that it would displace the !
current tenants and therefore be contradi ctory to Ordi nance #53. .
Since that time the Planning Office and the Housing Authority have met
with Albie Kern who represents the applicants. We discussed ways in which
the application might be brought into compliance with Ordinance #53. Albie i
Kern was going to research two ways of meeting the requirements of Ordin- I
ance #53. First he was going to look into the displacement of the existing
tenants and was going to determine where they were relocating to see if
they had found adequate housing. Secondly he was going to talk to the owner!
who lives in Mexico and inquire whether the owner would be interested in '
providing one of the units as a studio unit for employee housing. Albie
informs us that he has not yet been able to discuss this with the new owner!
and plans to have done that by your Monday meeting. Albie also informed us .
that he has been having difficulty getting in touch with the current tenants'
whose leases are being terminated by the present owner. The Planning Officel
has however received letters in the interim from three of the current ten- .
ants. These letters indicate that it is not the desire of the tenants to
leave this housing. Nancy Snell points out that her relocation will result
in further employee dislocation in the town. She indicates further that she,
has lived on the property for ten years and its not at all her desire to .
move out. She has put alot in to the house and the location is very conven-!
ient for her work. She further states that she had hopes of being able to
have a first option on the property but it was sold before she knew it was
available. By not renewing the leases she states, the new owners will have
no tenants by the time they take possession. Consequently they will be com-J
plying with the letter of the law but not the spirit, according to Ms. Snelll
Terry Kaladish and Jan Hagen indicate that their present housing is also very
convenient to their employment and that it is not convenient for them to move
at this time. They also note the amount of money and work that they have put
into the renovation of their apartment and that relocating at this time to .
other employee housing has become almost prohibitive because of outrageous
rents and lack of such housing.
Marc Danielson will be present to comment at your meeting on Monday. We
also hope that Albie Kern will be present to document his findings and
report on any progress made with the new owner. At this poi,nt in time the
Planning Office remains reluctant to recommend approval as there appears to
be significant evidence of tenant displacement with no specific means of
addressing this.

RE:
Arrowhead Condominiums Conceptual Subdivision
DATE:
May 5, 1978
This request involves the reconstruction of two structures and
four units into one fourplex on Lots K, Land M, Block 113 off
of Original Avenue near Glory Hole Park. As it classifies as
the reconstruction of existing units, the project is exempt
from Growth Management Ordinance *48; but must comply with full
subdivision reviews. The two structures now on the site total
three one bedroom units and one two bedroom unit. The appli-
cant proposes to do four new units of approximately 2,250 sq.
ft. per unit; but has not decided how many bedrooms each unit
will have. The mix of unit type will be governed by the pro-
visions of the RMF zone district given a total lot area of
9,000 sq. ft.
The Engineering Department has commented regarding parking.
They note that it will be necessary to increase the depth of
the on-site parking area as shown on>.the conceptual plan to
22 feet. Apparently, this is to compensate for the fact that
perpendicular parking requires a minimum of 24 foot alley and
the alley is only 20 feet. With this one condition, they
recommend conceptual approval.
with respect to housing impact and Ordinance 53 compliance;
Mark Danielson, the housing authority director, has researched
the rental history of the existing units on the Lot. That
information is attached. It was his recommendation to the
Planning and Zoning Commission that at least two and maybe
three of the units are now used by employees. In the absence
of any specific commitment to maintaining employee units at
the site, the housing ~uthority had advised against the
condominiumization. While there was discussion before the
Planning and Zoning Co~ission at their April 18 meeting about
providing for employee!s in later submissions under the sub-
division regulations, ~here was no condition stated in their
motion. The Planning ~nd Zoning Commission did recommend
approval.
Ordinance *53 clearly states that the employee housing impact
of a condominiumizatioh should be reviewed at the conceptual
stage of subdivision. i We would recommend that Council approve
the conceptual subdivi~ion review only with the condition that
the preliminary plat srow a configuration of units that lends
itself to maintaining at least some employee housing on the
site. What we suggested at the time of p&Z review was that
rather than providing ~our large and over 2,000 sq. ft. units,
that the units be vari~d in size and provide at least one and
perhaps two of the uni~s as employee units. The manner of .
tying these down as employee units should be worked out through
the housing authority and might follow some of the guidelines
in terms of tenant qua~ification that were suggested by Mark
Danielson at your studlf session on May 3. The situation is
different here than it! was with the Lacy Duplex which you
recently considered. ~here the applicants were able to and,
in fact, had demolishe~ a unit on the site which had served in

employee housing function and built an entirely new duplex
which could not be construed to be in the supply of low and
moderate income housing. A duplex is permitted provided that
it complies with all the zoning requirements of the district
and it does not require any subdivision reviews. In the
Arrowhead case, however, the owners of the property could,
of course, demolish the four units which now exist. However,
before rebuilding those, they would have to receive full
subdivision approvals, since the application also requests
condominiumization of the four units. Ordinance #53, regarding
housing impact, does apply and there is an opportunity to
apply its provisions prior to the construction of the new
units.
We think that this is exactly the kind of situation that
Ordinance #53 was designed to cover. If it is not, we can
anticipate a number of demolitions and subsequent reconstructiori
in order to avoid its application. High priced units will be
built ons i t 'es where ones of moderate price formally
existed. Then once built, the applicants can request condo-
miniumization and argue that their units never were within
the low and moderate income housing range. On the positive
side, within this project, there is opportunity to combine
low and moderate income housing with higher priced units just
by varying the size of units. It is this kind of integration
that the Growth Management Ordinance is designed to achieve.
We urge Council to approve conceptual subdivision application
for the Arrowhead condominiums only under the condition that
the applicant demonstrate that the construction and conversion
will not reduce the supply of low and moderate income housing.

Dear Karen:
As you have requested, I am submit.ting this letter-
application for approval of a subdivision of four condominium
units on behalf of Arrowhead Condominiums, Inc. The real
property involved is LotSK, Land M, Block 113, Aspen,
Colorado, upon which are located four u.ni ts within two
buildings now under contract of sale. The units all have
kitchens, each with one bedroom, except one unit has two
bedrooms.
It is intended to remove the existing structures and
erect one building containing four condominium unit.s (four
kitchens, nine bedrooms) in accordance with the zoning laws
of the City of Aspen.
The conceptual drawings, together with the required
information, have previously been submitted t.o the appropriat
depart.ment; however, if you require further information,
please let me know.

in units, the application is exempt from the Growth Management Ordinance un-
der Sec. 24-10.2(a). However, full subdivision reviews are required becaus~
this is a multi-family dwelling.

of the project. The tabulation of unit numbers and average square footage
of each is on one of the attached maps. r have asked Albie to supply me with
Building plans as well since they are complete.

stage of subdivision. We would recornnend that Council approve:
the conceptual subdivision review only with the condition that
the preliminary plat show a configuration of units that lends
itself to maintaining at least some employee housing on the
site. What we suggested at the time of P&Z review was that
rather than providing four large and over 2,900 sq. ft. units,
that the units be varied in size and provide at least one and
perhaps two of the units as employee units. The manner of
~ying these down as employee units should be worked out through
the housing authority and might follow some of the guidelines
in terms of ten\lnt qualification that were suggested by Mark
Danielson at your study session' on May 3. The situation is
different here than it was with the Lacy ,Duplex which you
recently considered. There the applican'ts were able to and,
in fact, had demolished a unit on the site which had served in

employee housing function and built an entirely new duplex
which could not be construed to be in the supply of low and
moderate income housing. A duplex is permitted provided that
it complies with all the zoning requirements of the district
and it does not require ,any subdivision reviews. ,In the
Arrowhead case, however,the owners of the property could,
of course, demolish the four units which now exist. However,
before rebuilding those, they,would hav~ to receive full
subdivision approvals, since the application also requests
condominiumization of the four units. Ordinance #53, regarding
housing impact, does apply and there is an ,opportunity to
apply its provisions prior to the construction of the new
units.
We think that this is exactly the kind of situation that
Ordinance #53 was designed to cover. If it is not,we can
anticipate a number of demolitions and subsequent reconstruction
in order to avoid its application. High priced units will be .
built ons it e s where oneq of moderate prioe formally
'existBd. Then once built, the applicants can request condo-
miniumiza.tion and argue that' their units never were within
the low and moderate income housing range. On the positive
side, within this project, there is opportunity to combine
low and moderate income housing with higher priced units just
by varying the size of units. It is this kind of integration
that the Growth Management Ordinance is designed to achieve.
We urge Council to approve conceptual subdivision application
for the Arrowhead condominiums only under the condition that
the applicant demonstrate tha.t the construction and conversion
will not reduce the supply of low and moderate income housing.

RE: Arrowhead ~ Final Plat
DATE: February 8, 1979
Final plat approval for the Arrowhead Condominiums will be before you for
consideration Monday. As you'll recall this application involved the re-
placement of two structures (4 units) at Glory'Hole Park with a new condo-
miniumized fourplex. Council granted conceptual approval after several
rounds of discussion with the condition that one of the units be reserved
as low income employee housing under the 1978 housing price guidelines.
The preliminary plat which was presented to P&Z incorporated price restric-j
ti ons on one unit. The 1978 gui del i ne for low income units was ,$300 or
under for a two bedroom, 800 square foot unit which rental may be adjusted ,
proportionately higher for square footage greater than 800 square feet. '
No time duration for continuing price controls was ever adopted by Council
although.five,yearswasdiscussed.
The final plat reserves a 1615 square foot two bedroom apartment as the low]
income unit. The rental rate at that square footage is $581.40/month. The:
City Attorney and Albie Kern discussed two alternative methods for controlling
price over the long term, but it was resolved that keeping the rental at ]
$581.40/month for five years was appropriate given the status of price con-i
trols at the time the application was first considered. Admittedly, :
this continuing control is not consistent with currently adopted :
policies, but was what weihad at the time. The per square foot rental rate$ are
consistent with current rental guidelines although the unit square footage :
is greater than we would allow today. A reduction in unit size would lower!
the price somewhat. Again our current rules are more refined.
A reduction of the Final Plat is included in your packet and will demonstra~e
builGing configuration and unit sizes. A declaration of covenants provides:
for the housing restrictions above described and which were finally approveq
by P&Z after expression of considerable concern. Other conditions of the P&4
approval were: :
1. 6 month lease applied to all units (included in covenant).
2. Attention be paid to service line depth out of the building as
suggested by Aspen Metro.
3. Maintenance of clearance on the north side of the building for fire I
access to the east through the alley.
4. Resolution of the City Engineer's concerns
i
Dave Ellis has checked the Final Plat and recommends approval. Approval shduld
be given including a specification of the remainiing conditions and recordinig
of the Declaration of Covenants with the Final Plat.

Final Plat Review
After reviewing the most recent final plat reV1S1ons submitted
today, the engineering department recommends approval by City
Council without changes or conditions. Although there are no
engineering concerns which need to be included in a subdivision
agreement, there are other conditions of approval which should
be included in some document to be recorded simultaneously with
the plat.
