Mr. John Doremus
Chairman
Planning and Zoning Commission
Aspen, Colorado
Dear John:
I have read the proposed Ammendments to the Aspen Zoning
Ordinance, and am in agreemnet with tham generally.
As noted in Sup,gested SU1P1iment, I ~8A that there should
be control incorporated n i-.he 0rdinanl'Je, over parts of
buildings projecting beyond the actual wall of the building,
such as porches, fire escapes and eaves, and special con-
sideration should be given to these above named structural
features at ground level, re he:l.ght from eround.
Under item No. 3 of the sUlL.eated !,ub1~_c hearing notice
concerning height restrictions in the B zone, it seobs to me
that clarification is needed. If, as stated under para-
graph J, a height of 38 feet is allowed, provided that for
each foot of height in excess of 20 feet there shall be
one foot of rear yard, would the builder be compelled to
provide a set back if he proposed to build a stru~ture
with a 20 foot wall and, say, an 8 foot high titched roof
the angle of which satisfied the 1 foot heigh fsetback
requirement? To me this does not seem unreasonable.
i. e. that he be permitted to exceed 20 feet without e set-
back, prvided the angle oi his roef, in effect, does the
same thing.
Sincerely yours,
,
William James, Jr.
