RE: 315 Lake Avenue-Appeal from Design Standards
SUMMARY: The applicant proposes to complete construction of this single
family house, which was left unfinished by the original developer. Modifications
are to be made to some materials and the entry columns will be wrapped with
wood. Additionally asecond-story balcony will break up the perceived height of
this element.
Under the floor area definition in effect when the house was constructed, there is
a small amount of square footage left which the new owner would like to use to
build a 30 square foot airlock entry. Under the new definition of floor area ratio,
there is no square footage available due to many windows which are in the "no
window zone." The applicant requests a waiver of this standard for the purpose
of creating the airlock. Some of the oversized windows will be reduced to a
clerestory window, but they will still not meet the ordinance.
PROJECT REVIEW PROCESS AND STAFF EVALUATION
The Committee may grant an exception to the design standards for any of the
following criteria:
a) yield greater compliance with the goals of the Aspen Area Community
Plan;
b) more effectively address the issue or problem a given standard or
provision responds to; or
c) be clearly necessary for reasons of fairness related to unusual site
specific constraints.
APPLICANT: Robert Colman, represented by Sven Alstrom and Richard
Klein.
LOCATION: 315 Lake Avenue.
ZONING: R-6
STAFF COMMENTS:
I. Background - The project was begun prior to Ordinance #30 and was
not completed by the original developer.
II. Site Description -The property is a 6,689 feet corner lot.
III. Waiver requested-
Standard: Volume. For the purpose of calculating floor area ratio and allowable
floor area for a building or portion thereof whose principal use is
residential, a determination shall be made as to its interior plate
heights. All areas with an exterior expression of a plate height
greater than ten (10) feet, shall be counted as two (2) square feet for
each one (1) square foot of floor area. Exterior expression shall be
defined as facade penetrations between nine (9) and twelve (12) feet
above the level of the finished floor, and circular, semi circular or
non-orthogonal fenestration between nine (9) and fifteen (15) feet
above the level of the finished floor.
IV. Recommendation - Staff recommends that DRAC grant the waiver ~~ ~ dC~orn
based on criteria C, finding that the owner wishes to complete the abandoned
project, which is in substantial incompliance with Ordinance #30, and wishes to
improve its relationship to the streetscape. Staff further recommends that all
streeffacing windows be~modified if possible to avoid or encroach less into the
"no window zone" than they currently do.

SPECIAL REVIEW MEETING FOR FRONT ENTRY
TO COMPLETE CONSTRUCTION PROJECT
Dear Amy and Committee Members,
Attached are materials for your review of the entry design of
the former "MCCOY RESIDENCE" which set in motion Ordinance 30
and Neighborhood Design Review.
We have been asked to help the new Owner modify the entry in a
fashion that is more compatible with the Neighborhood than the
present abandoned consfruction.
We are eager to finish this project and landscaping as soon as possible.
The Owner is removing the hot tub area and the "kitsch" fence which was
formerly on the east side of the house.
Many extraneous details, weathervanes, cupolas, etc. are being removed.
We will embark upon a color scheme later but for now are focusing on a
redesign of the front entry. The Owner is also replacing the existing roof of
the entire house.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION /REVISED ENTRY DESIGN
Our design proposal will bring down the scale of the awkward
freestanding columns by extending the second floor deck to
form a complete balcony which helps to bring down the apparent height
of the columns. This balcony and the additional detail help to make
the new revised entry read more like a porch than an oversized
and gauche entry facade.
Useable area helps to make this read as a purposeful entry addition
rather than a decorative and out of scale element. We are now
using the structure for a real purpose.
DRAC DESCRIPTION
315 LAKE AVENUE
181UNE 1997
P2
The large window above the second floor balcony doors is changed
to a more craftsman /cottage like transom window grouping with a
Flat soffit to also bring down the apparent height of the construction.
In our pre application conference with Amy she seemed pleosed with
this proposed design. Stan Clawson in an informal session has also
seemed pleased with this modification to an existing structure.
Richard Klein, Architect is also helping me with this project. Mr. Colman
the new Owner, Richard and I are pleased with this new entry design.
WE ASK DRAC FOR VARIANCES AS NEEDED TO COMPLETE
THIS PROJECT. WE FEEL THAT OUR ENTRY MODIFICATIONS AND
OVERALL PROJECT SUPERVISION WILL BRING A MUCH MORE
COMPATIBLE INTERPRETATION TO THE APPEARANCE OF THIS
RESIDENCE.
ROBERT COUv1AN THE NEW OWNER HAS ASSURED US THAT HE
WISHES TO COMPLETE THIS PROJECT WITH PAUL RASMUSSEN
CONSTRUCTION AND OUR FIRM AS SOON AS POSSIBLE TO
COMPLETE THE CONSTRUCTION OF THIS HOUSE.
Sincerely.
Sven Erik Alstrom AIA
