MEMORANDUM
TO: Aspen Planning and Zoning Commission
FROM: Jolene Vrchota, Planning Office
RE: Popeil 8040 Special Review
DATE: August 14, 1980
Background
Ron Popeil, the owner of an existing single - family residence on Lot #3,
Tipplewood Subdivision (near the south end of Galena Street), applied for
a building permit for expansion of the house. The applicant has been unable
to show definitively that the residence lies more than 50 yards from the
8040foot elevation line; therefore, you have a greenline special review appli-
cation before you. (See attached letter of application.)
Intent of 8040 Greenline Review
Section 24 -6.2 (a) - To provide for review of all development above the 8040
Greenline within the City of Aspen and all development fifty (50) yards below
the 8040 greenline so as to aid in the transition of development from urban
areas to the adjacent agricultural and forestry uses; to insure that all
development is compatible with the prevailing slopes; to provide for the least
disturbance to the terrain and other natural land features of the area; to
guarantee availability of utilities and adequate access; to reduce the impact
of development on surface runoff, the natural watershed, and air pollution;
to avoid losses due to avalanches, unstable slopes, rock fall and mud slides;
and to enhance the natural mountain setting."
Zoning: L -2
Attorney's
Comments: No comment.
Aspen Water Dept.
Comments: Jim Markalunas reported that water pressure at the 8040
foot elevation is 30 psi, which is adequate for single-
family residential use. The applicant has not supplied
the precise vertical distance below 8040 fee, but it
does certainly lie lower. The residence gains 0.433 pounds
per vertical foot and has, therefore, more than adequate
water supply.
Engineering The Engineering Department stated that criteria #1 through
Comments: #8 in subsection (b) were satisfied by the proposed addi-
tion. Criteria #9 (encouraging reduction of building height
and bulk to maintain the open character of the mountain),
however, appears to be a problem. The L -2 zone allows a
maximum height of 28 feet. The addition is 31 feet, 3 feet
in excess of the maximum. Not only is the height not
allowed, but it adds to the bulk of an already high and
visible structure. Engineering recommends denial. (See
attached memorandum dated August 13, 1980.)
Planning Office
Recommendation: The Planning Office concurs with the Engineering Department's
recommendation for denial of the Popeil 8040 Greenline special
review.

Dear Ms. Vrchota:

Sec. 24 -6.6
Conditions for Approval
Drawings are submitted with this letter: The building permit
was applied for on July 3, 1980.
The construction is contiguous to the existing structure.
The contractor is ready to proceed with construction as soon
as approval is granted.
Currently a residence is being constructed above the subject
property with your approval.
The utilities are currently located on the subject property.
The owner is a resident of Aspen and has always maintained his
residence with great personal pride and dignity.
Please notify me concerning the above at your earliest convenience.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Jolene Vrchota, Planning Office
FROM: Jay Hammond, Engineering Office 4 k
DATE: August 13, 1980
RE: Popeil 8040 Greenline Review
Having reviewed the above application for 8040 Greenline
and made a site inspection, the Engineering Department has
the following comments:
Most of the criteria for 8040 review are fairly well
satisfied by the proposed addition and by the fact that most
of the structure is pre- existing. Utilities and water service
are already established, as are access and snow removal needs.
The slope on the site, although steep, would not be adversely
effected by the addition and geological hazards are not
significant.
However, under Number 9 of the review criteria the
"reduction of building height and bulk to maintain the open
character of the mountain" is encouraged. The plans for the
addition as submitted to this office show a height of 31
feet from the northerly grade line representing a highly
visible structure some 3 feet in excess of the permitted
height in the L2 Zone. The existing structure is already
quite high and visible and the new addition hardly contributes
to reduce its bulk.
In view of the height problem as noted above, and in an
attempt to reduce impact as required by the 8040 review,
the Engineering Department recommends denial of the Popeil
8040 application.

Dear Jim:
This is _;o inform you of the scheduling for 8040 Greenline special review
for the Popeil residence expansion. It has been sent to referral agencies
and will be presented to the Aspen Planning and Zoning Commission for con-
sideration on August 19, 1980. I anticipate that they will make a final
decision at that time. Although it is possible that they would request
further information, this is not highly likely.
If you have further question, feel free to call me at 925 -2020, ext. 298.

RE: Popeil Residence 8040 Greenline Special Review
DATE: July 24, 1980
The Building Department received an application for a building permit for
expansion of an existing residence located on Lot #3, Tipplewood Subdivision,
Aspen (immediately up the slope from Tipple Inn). This lot falls within
50 feet below the 8040 foot elevation line and is therefore subject to the
Special Development Permit review required in Section 24 -6.2 of the Aspen
Municipal Code.
The expansion includes addition of three levels, approximately 27 feet by
29 feet. Level A has an entry plaza and a room for a hot tub pad and steam
generator. Level B, above A, has a steam room and hot tub. Level C has a
living room.
This Special Review is scheduled to come before the Planning and Zoning
Commission on August 19, 1980. Please return your comments to me by
Monday, August 11, 1980.
Jim von Breuer (925 -6789) is representing the owner as his architect.
