MEMORANDUM
TO: Aspen Planning and Zoning Commission
FROM: Karen Smith, Planning Office
RE: 8040 Greenline Review - Yarbrough Single Family House
DATE: July 27, 1979
This is an application for 8040 greenline review for a single family house
of 3,370 square feet to be built in the Tipple Woods Subdivision zoned R -15,
next to Little Nell Ski slope. The applicant is Dr. Yarbrough represented by
Tim Hagman. For the benefit of the members, I am attaching to this memorandum
pages 1478.1 and .2 demonstrating the review criteria for 8040 greenline review.
Considerations include compatibility with the terrain and natural features,
no interference with geologic or other natural hazards, visual quality and
adequate service by roads, water, and other facilities designed to offer protection
to residence and property on the lot.
We have received comments from the following referral agencies:
1. Bob Jacobs, Fire Marshal, notes that a 2" stand pipe will be installed
between Dr. Yarbrough's property and Galena Street as a supplement
to the existing fire hydrant on the property immediately to the south.
In addition, hose and other necessary fire equipment will be stored
in a cabin adjacent to the property. Bob recommends these as minimal
improvements for the protection of the property. However, he notes
difficulty of their use by untrained personnel and the fact that the access
road is impassable during ski season.
2. Dan McArthur, assistant City Engineer, notes similar concerns regarding
the problems of access and protection to the property. He notes that
on "March 20, 1959 the Pitkin County Commissioners approved the Tipple
Wood Subdivision Lots 1 through 5 with no provision for adequate off
street parking and no provision for adequate roads to insure fire
protection which is in direct conflict with Section 24 -6.2, 8040
Greenline Review of the Aspen Municipal Code." He further notes that
the City of Aspen annexed the Tipple Wood Subdivision in March of
1967 with no exceptions and no conditions, therefore the Engineering
Department reluctantly recommends approval.
3. Jim Markalunas of the Aspen Water Department indicates that there is
no problem with water hook -up "provided hook -up is made on 6" main
supplying Blitz residence on 8" interconnect to Alps." The Water
Department does not want any connection made to the 12" transmission
lines supplying the storage tanks on Aspen Mountain.
4. Mountain Bell found no problem.
5. The Aspen Metro Sanitation District commented by letter of May 9th
written by Heiko Kuen that there would be no problems with a sewer
connection.
Given the unfortunate circumstance of a poorly approved subdivision and
seemingly little we can do about the access, parking, and fire protection problems,
the P and Z should concentrate its review on the environmental impact of the
proposed structure, including visual impact. We have asked the applicant for
additional materials similar to those prepared for the water tank review. We
hope that those materials will demonstrate the impact on the natural topography
and visual impact from town. At a minimum we would recommend that the natural
vegetation of the site be retained and restored wherever possible, in fact, you
might require that someone in the City be responsible for reviewing the vegetation
which is removed and insisting on vegetation to be restored. This might be done
through a requirement for a specific landscaping plan. We will reserve our other
comments in this matter until we have had a chance to review the additional
presentations early next week and will comment to you Tuesday night.

TO: KAREN SMITH, PLANNING DIRECTOR

DATE: July 23, 1979
RE: Yarbrough 8040 Greenline Review
I have had several conversations with Tim Hagman of Copland, Hagman,
& Yaw regarding supplementary or on -site fire protection equipment
for the proposed structure on Mr. Yarbrough's property.
As stated on the 8040 Greenline Review proposal under "Fire Protec-
tion," a 2" standpipe will be installed between Mr. Yarbrough's
property and Galena Street as a supplement to the existing fire
hydrant on the property immediately to the south. In addition, hose
and other necessary fire fighting equipment will be stored in a
cabinet adjacent to the property. It is very difficult, if not impos-
sible, to recommend emergency equipment to be used by untrained per-
sonnel.
My main complaint concerns the fact that the only access road to
this area is impassable during ski season. I would strongly urge
Mr. Yarbrough to search out any possibilities for an access road
to his property that could be used year round. This is the only way
that adequate fire emergency service could be provided.

Site Description
The project site is part of the Tipplewoods subdivision,
adjacent to Little Nell Ski trail and is covered with
3 " -5" Aspen trees and native type ground cover. Previously
subdivided in 1960, the site is served by a rail tram in
serviceable condition. Parking is provided at the parking
lot adjacent to the Copper Kettle Restaurant at the bottom
of the rail tram.
Construction access is provided across the Little Nell
Ski trail in the summer through arrangement with the Aspen
Skiing Corporation.
Project Description
The design is for a single - family residence of 3370 sq.ft.
plus 600 sq.ft. of exterior decks and stairs. The program
consists of a living, dining, and kitchen on the upper
level; the middle level consists of two bedrooms and baths,
a master bed room and bath and entry; the lower level consists
of a children's recreation room and bath, entry and storage/
mechanical space.
To capture the sweeping views of Aspen and the adjacent ski
slopes, the main activity functions are placed on the upper
level with remaining program functions on subsequently lower
levels. By stacking functions thus, the building foot print
is substantially reduced, therefore allowing maximum retention
of the existing trees and ground cover. Additionally, all
trees and ground cover that are disturbed through construction
necessity will be restored or replanted to their original
state. The significance of this will be to help minimize
the visual impact of the structure. To further understate
the buildings appearance, it is intended to incorporate
wood siding stained a neutral gray or beige. The roof, to
be vertical -rib joint metal, will be painted a matt finish
neutral color as well. Native lichen -rock and tinted glass
(where legal) will compliment the exterior appearance and
is attempting to enhance and blend with its setting of natural
vegetation.
Immediately south, or uphill from the proposed building
location, the site contours maintain their same slope until
reaching the southern property line, 20' away (+), at
which point the grade pitch shallows slightly until meeting
an adjacent residence. Therefore, the risk from avalanche
is non - existent; as well, the expected minimal surface
runoff will be diverted around the east and west faces of
the residence and collected in on -site drywells, as in-
dicated on the site plan.
Areas to the east and west requiring cribbing or concrete
retaining walls will stabilize the slopes in these areas
and will effectively cover any potential areas of scarring.
No exposed cuts will be visible from any public viewpoint.
Services and Utilities
Water System
A 6" water main presently serves the southerly adjacent
residence which would provide adequate water and pres-
sure by tapping into the existing main. Mr. James
Markalunas of the Aspen Water Department found no
foreseeable deficiencies with this design.
Sewer System
Two viable alternatives exist for a sewer tap; the 8"
line on Galena Street is of sufficient size as well
as a 8" line at the base of the Little Nell Ski trail.
A design review by Mr. Heiko Kuhn revealed no fore-
seeable deficiencies with either alternative.
Power
Underground power will be supplied from a pad- mounted
transformer approximately 90' to the south as indicated
on the site plan. A review by Mr. John Spangler of
Holy Cross Electric indicated no deficiences with this
design.
Telephone
Underground phone service is available from an existing
cable on the northern property line. Mr. Gene Krill
of Mountain Bell foresees no deficiences relative to
providing service from the existing main line.
Natural Gas
A 1" line presently exists in the rail tram easement
that would be tapped into for servicing the project.
Mr. Willard Clapper of Rocky Mountain Natural Gas
foresees no deficiencies with this approach.
Jr -%
Fire Protection
To attempt to adequately provide fire protection service
the following system, after review with Mr. Willard Clapper,
Fire Chief, is being proposed.
Within the rail tram /utility easement, which extends to
Galena Street, a 2" dry pipe would be installed with a
Y connection at Galena Street. This allows a connection
to a fire truck on Galena Street and therefore would
enable the water pressure to be controlled for fire-
fighting purposes. Presently there is not a fire plug
in this location; Willard Clapper is recommending that
one be installed for the benefit of the immediate area
as well as the project site. Until such time as a new
installation occurs, the present capacities of the fire
department's pumper trucks would be sufficiently capable
during construction;as well, as shown on the site plan,
it is proposed to install at the top of the rail tram
structure, a fire hose cabinet containing 100 ft. of
11/2" single jacket hose and fire - fighting tools per
Willard Clapper's specifications (axe, haligan tool, etc.).
Also, to allow emergency access around the house, a path
system would be developed and would also help protect
surrounding natural vegetation. Some further protection
is available through a fire hydrant recently installed
about 100' to the south of the project site should the
Fire Department elect to approach the project site across
the Little Nell ski trail road (summer access only).
Since the site does not have year -round direct road access,
it has been determined that the foregoing represents a
viable practical alternative.

Setbacks (R -6)
Front 10 feet
Rear 15 feet

Site Description
The project site is part of the Tipplewoods subdivision,
adjacent to Little Nell Ski trail and is covered with
3 " -5" Aspen trees and native type ground cover. Previously
subdivided in 1960, the site is served by a rail tram in
serviceable condition. Parking is provided at the parking
lot adjacent to the Copper Kettle Restaurant at the bottom
of the rail tram.
Construction access is provided across the Little Nell
Ski trail in the summer through arrangement with the Aspen
Skiing Corporation.
Project Description
The design is for a single - family residence of 3370 sq.ft.
plus 600 sq.ft. of exterior decks and stairs. The program
consists of a living, dining, and kitchen on the upper
level; the middle level consists of two bedrooms and baths,
a master bedroom and bath and entry; the lower level consists
of a children's recreation room and bath, entry and storage/
mechanical space.
To capture the sweeping views of Aspen and the adjacent ski
slopes, the main activity functions are placed on the upper
level with remaining program functions on subsequently lower
levels. By stacking functions thus, the building foot print
is substantially reduced, therefore allowing maximum retention
of the existing trees and ground cover. Additionally, all
trees and ground cover that are disturbed through construction
necessity will be restored or replanted to their original
state. The significance of this will be to help minimize
the visual impact of the structure. To further understate
the buildings appearance, it is intended to incorporate
wood siding stained a neutral gray or beige. The roof, to
be vertical -rib joint metal, will be painted a matt finish
neutral color as well. Native lichen -rock and tinted glass
(where legal) will compliment the exterior appearance and
is attempting to enhance and blend with its setting of natural
vegetation.
Immediately south, or uphill from the proposed building
location, the site contours maintain their same slope until
reaching the southern property line, 20' away ( +), at
which point the grade pitch shallows slightly until meeting
an adjacent residence. Therefore, the risk from avalanche
is non - existent; as well, the expected minimal surface
runoff will be diverted around the east and west faces of
the residence and collected in on -site drywells, as in-
dicated on the site plan.
,eN ,0
..1
Areas to the east and west requiring cribbing or concrete
retaining walls will stabilize the slopes in these areas
and will effectively cover any potential areas of scarring.
No exposed cuts will be visible from any public viewpoint.
Services and Utilities
Water System
A 6" water main presently serves the southerly adjacent
residence which would provide adequate water and pres-
sure by tapping into the existing main. Mr. James
Markalunas of the Aspen Water Department found no
foreseeable deficiencies with this design.
Sewer System
Two viable alternatives exist for a sewer tap; the 8"
line on Galena Street is of sufficient size as well
as a 8" line at the base of the Little Nell Ski trail.
A design review by Mr. Heiko Kuhn revealed no fore-
seeable deficiencies with either alternative.
Power
Underground power will be supplied from a pad- mounted
transformer approximately 90' to the south as indicated
on the site plan. A review by Mr. John Spangler of
Holy Cross Electric indicated no deficiences with this
design.
Telephone
Underground phone service is available from an existing
cable on the northern property line. Mr. Gene Krill
of Mountain Bell foresees no deficiences relative to
providing service from the existing main line.
Natural Gas
A 1" line presently exists in the rail tram easement
that would be tapped into for servicing the project.
Mr. Willard Clapper of Rocky Mountain Natural Gas
foresees no deficiencies with this approach.
Fire Protection
To attempt to adequately provide fire protection service
the following system, after review with Mr. Willard Clapper,
Fire Chief, is being proposed.
Within the rail tram /utility easement, which extends to
Galena Street, a 2" dry pipe would be installed with a
Y connection at Galena Street. This allows a connection
to a fire truck on Galena Street and therefore would
enable the water pressure to be controlled for fire-
fighting purposes. Presently there is not a fire plug
in this location; Willard Clapper is recommending that
one be installed for the benefit of the immediate area
as well as the project site. Until such time as a new
installation occurs, the present capacities of the fire
department's pumper trucks would be sufficiently capable
during construction;as well, as shown on the site plan,
it is proposed to install at the top of the rail tram
structure, a fire hose cabinet containing 100 ft. of
11" single jacket hose and fire - fighting tools per
Willard Clapper's specifications (axe, haligan tool, etc.).
Also, to allow emergency access around the house, a path
system would be developed and would also help protect
surrounding natural vegetation. Some further protection
is available through a fire hydrant recently installed
about 100' to the south of the project site should the
Fire Department elect to approach the project site across
the Little Nell ski trail road (summer access only).
Since the site does not have year -round direct road access,
it has been determined that the foregoing represents a
viable practical alternative.

FROM: Karen Smith, Planning Office
RE: Yarbrough 8040 Greenline Review
DATE: August 8, 1979
On August 7, 1979, the P and Z approved the Yarbrough single family house
in Tipple Woods Subdivision with numerous conditions. While the minutes will
give you the seven conditions, I did want to immediately point three out:
1. That an escrow amount be set aside to cover replacement landscaping.
The amount is to be determined by the bid price of a landscape plan.
2. That a trail easement be reserved of a width to be determined by
the City Engineer.
3. That the recommendations of the August 6th letter of Lincoln DeVore
be implemented in view of any potential soils or geologic problems.
Please note that this includes a requirement of inspection by a
soils engineer at time of excavation and modification of conditions
at that time.
P.S. minutes not completed yet - Sheryl will give you both copies when completed.

Re: Ski, Hiking and Pedestrian Trail on
Lot 14, Anthony Acres and
Lot 5, Tipple Woods Subdivision
Dear Sunny and Dan:
In the last few days I have been attempting to gain
information as to the status of the above trail which exists in
place on the Blitz Property (High on the Hill Condominiums) now
owned by Mr. Hemetter and on Lot 5, Tipple Woods Subdivision
owned by William Joseph Yarborough. My inquiry was and is for
and in behalf of the Durant Condominium Association whose members,
among other members of the public, have enjoyed the utilization of
the subject ski trails over a substantial period of time, and whose
property enjoyment and value is enhanced by virtue of the existence
of such trail. It forms a valuable and convenient access route
from the Little Nell ski slopes to the Durant -Fifth Avenue -
Fasching House, et al., condominium area of the City of Aspen (An-
thony Acres). Starting several days ago, I.made inquiry as to
who at this point in time was in charge of and had a good handle
on the City trail system. No one seemed to know. As a consequence,
I made a request of Audrey in the Planning Office to look at the
City's trail map. She indicated to me that it was hanging in Allan
Richman's office, but that Allan really had no responsibility with
respect thereto. I reviewed the map in Allan's office, and could
not find a designation of the above trail on that map. Allan re-
ferred me to the City Engineering Office. There I met with Jay
Hammond who indicated that the Engineering Department's records
reflected no trail as respects the Blitz property or the Yarborough
property. At thatpvint in time, I gave him documentation establish-
ing the dedication of the portion of the trail situate on the Blitz
property and asked that the City's Engineering Department maintain
a permanent record of it. Lou Buettner of the City's Engineering

Department called me back later that same afternoon, after having
had a discussion with Jay Hammond to indicate to me that he had
no record of anything as affecting Lot 5, Tipple Woods Subdivision.
Rather than let the matter drop at this point in time,
because of the importance of the existence of the trail to all of
the tourist accommodation facilities situate in the Anthony Acres
area, I made separate inquiry myself with the City Building Depart-
ment to determine what things had been done on Lot 5, Tipple Woods
Subdivision (the Yarborough lot) requiring building permits and /or
land use approvals. After reviewing the dead files of the City
Building Department, I came up with the enclosed Planning Office
memorandum dated August 8, 1979, and minutes of a Planning and
Zoning Commission meeting dated August 7, 1979. These documents
would reflect that an 8040 greenline review took place with res-
pect to the Yarborough property .and that as a condition of the
approval of that greenline review, that a trail easement be reserved
along the existing trail alignment, the width of which was to have
been determined by the City Engineer.
Apparently, this is as far as the matter had gone in
1979, and at that point in time, it simply had gotten buried. As an
immediate matter, I would ask that the alignment and width of the
trail be determined by the City Engineer. Upon such determination
being made, I would request that the City Attorney prepare a dedica-
tion of this easement to be presented to Dr. Yarborough. I am as-
suming that by virtue of the 8040 greenline review approval, Dr. Yar-
borough committed to the creation of the easement.
I think this is important at this point in time inasmuch as
the Durant Condominium Association has certain information which would
lead it to believe that Dr. Yarborough intends to block the trail as
of the commencement of the coming ski season. Such action would ap-
pear to clearly violate the spirit of the 8040 greenline review and
will, of course, be a detriment to the neighborhood. In the event
that Dr. Yarborough should be unwilling to execute an easement for
the benefit of the public, then I think it would be appropriate that
steps be taken to require or enforce the conditions of approval made
in 1979 under the 8040 greenline review.
As a general matter, while I do not intend to be critical
of the Planning Office or Engineering Department, it would seem to
me that these types of documents should not be misplaced or buried
as this one has. There may, perhaps, be yet additional easements
of great value to the public which have not been perpetuated because

of some administrative error. Were it not for the interest of the
Durant Condominium Association in this trail and its willingness
to bear the expense of investigation, it would not have been called
to the City's attention that it, in fact, does have a valuable pub-
lic trail for access to the Little Nell ski slope. I would ask that
I be apprised as to the progress which is made in resolving this
matter.
Very truly yours,
OATES, HUGHES & KNEZEVICH, P.C.

Re: File No. GS -876
Sile Inspection
Lot 5 Tipple Wood Subdivision
Aspen, Colorado
Gentlemen:
At your request, Lincoln - DeVore personnel have inspected the
above - referenced site in order to evaluate geologic conditions.
The site is located on an alluvial fan deposit originating from
Vallejo Gulch to the south. The soils correspondingly will be
slopewash and debris flow materials originating from the higher
ground to the south. Bedrock beneath this site appears to be of
the Belden Formation of Pennsylvanian Age.
The site is rather steep, having an average gradient of about
22 °, based on a topographic map supplied to Lincoln - DeVore. The
slope appears relatively stable, although minor creep movements
have occurred, as is evidenced by pistol- butting of aspen trees.
Potential creep movements can be compensated for in foundation
design, by rigidly reinforcing the foundation and by cross -con-
necting opposing foundation walls.
According to the Atlas on the Geology of the Aspen District,
Colorado by J. E. Spurr, 1898, no mining shafts or tunnels are
located directly below the site. Because of the history of this
area, however, fill may exist on this site as the result of mining
activity. Foundations should be extended through any fill and
into competent material.
Extensive faulting exists in the Aspen Mountain area. While there •
is no record or evidence of faulting immediately below this site,
the structure should be designed to withstand low- magnitude earth
accelerations due to seismic activity in this area. We recommend
designing for seismic risk Zone II, as detailed in the Uniform
Building Code Section 2314. It is emphasized that seismic condi-
tions are regional in nature and are not limited to this one site.
No significant hazard due to rockfall was noted. The hazard for
debris flow is minor.

The depth of cuts required for the foundation excavation is not
known at this time. However, based on current knowledge of the
site cuts greater than 8 feet vertical depth are not recommended.
The structure should be designed and constructed such that vert-
ical cuts are minimized.
The foundation excavation should be inspected, and laboratory
tests performed on soil samples if required, to determine bear-
ing pressures, lateral pressures, and other pertinent design
information. Any anomalies in the excavation can be identified
and additional recommendations made at the time of inspection.
We hope this has provided you with the information you desired.
If questions arise or if we can be of further assistance, please
feel free to contact our office.
