PARCEL NO. 2737-182-66-002 WHEREAS, Alexandra and Scott Kendrick, submitted a request for two variances, dated February 23, 2007 to the Board of Adjustment as outlined in Section 26.314.050; and one variance is to a residential design standard and the other to the front yard setback requirement. WHEREAS, this matter was heard before the Board of Adjustment on April 12, 2007 where full deliberations and consideration of the evidence and testimony was presented. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT OF THE CITY OF ASPEN, COLORADO: Section 1. Findings of Fact for the Setback Variance. The Board of Adjustment makes the following findings of fact: I. A request for the variance was initiated by: Alexandra and Scott Kendrick, 1025 Waters Ave, Aspen, Colorado. 2. Notice of the proposed variance has been provided to surrounding property owners in accordance with Section 26-304-060(E)(3) of the Aspen Municipal Code. Evidence of such notice is on file with the City Clerk. 3. The grant of variance is consistent with the purposes, goals, objectives, and policies of the Aspen Area Community Plan and Chapter 26 of the Aspen Municipal Code. 4. The grant of variance is the minimum variance that will make possible the reasonable use of the parcel, building or structure. 5. The literal interpretation and enforcement of the terms of Chapter 26 of the Aspen Municipal Code would deprive the applicant of rights commonly enjoyed by other parcels in the same zone district, and would cause the applicant unnecessary hardship or practical difficulty. In determining that the applicant's rights would be deprived absent a variance, the Board found that certain special conditions and circumstances unique to the parcel, building or structure, which are not applicable to other parcels, structures or buildings in the same zone district exist on the subject parcel. Section 2. Findings of Fact for a Residential Design Standard Variance. The Board of Adjustment makes the following findings of fact: I.

In evaluating the context as it is used in the criteria, the reviewing board may consider the relationship of the proposed development with adjacent structures, the immediate neighborhood setting, or a broader vicinity as the board feels is necessary to determine if the exception is warranted; or, 4. Be clearly necessary for reasons of fairness related to unusual site-specific constraints. Section 3. Variances Approved.
