Cooper Ave, Chateau Aspen, Legally Described as Chateau Aspen Subdivision, Aspen, CO Parcel ID No. 273718225802 APPLICANT: Chateau Aspen Condominium Association, 630 E. Cooper, Aspen, CO 81611 SUBJECT & SITE OF AMENDMENT: An Exception for Building Code Compliance for Floor Area for the Chateau Aspen Condominiums, involving the construction of accessibility improvements, including stairs and elevators. The applicant is requesting an Exception for Building Code Compliance, pursuant to Land Use Code Section 26.575.020.L. SUMMARY: The Applicant has requested an Exception for Building Code Compliance in order to replace existing stairs that are aged and deteriorating with new stairs that meet current building codes as well as to install an elevator that meets accessibility standards. Chateau Aspen is zoned Commercial (C -1) with 22 multi - family residential units, and is currently non - conforming in terms of floor area. The building has four access stairs located along the four corners of the central courtyard facing Cooper Avenue. The two stairs closest to Cooper (southern side of the courtyard) are being proposed for replacement due to their deteriorated state. To be building code compliant, the tread width of the stairs need to be amended which impacts head room. The modified design to rebuild the stairs will add approximately 73 sq. ft. of deck/stairway Floor Area to become code compliant. Additionally, to provide ADA access an elevator is being proposed at the rear of the courtyard. When developed the elevator will add 50 square feet of floor area to each floor or 150 square feet. A total of approximately 223 square feet of floor area is permitted to be added to the existing Floor Area of the building. STAFF EVALUATION: Staff finds that the request meets the requirements of an Exception for Building Code Compliance. The proposal will provide improvements that meet building codes and improve the accessibility of the property. The new elevator will meet all height requirements in the zone district, and minimally impact the existing footprint of the building. DECISION: The Community Development Director finds the request to add an accessible elevator and bring stairs up to building code compliance as noted above and in Exhibit `C' is consistent with the review criteria (Exhibit B) and thereby, APPROVES the exemption as conditioned below. 1. The new stairs will be the minimum size necessary to meet building code. 2. The elevator shall be constructed at the same time as the stair replacement or the amended stair design will not be issued a building permit.

L. Exceptions for Building Code Compliance. The Community Development Director may approve exceptions to the dimensional restrictions of this Section to accommodate improvements required to achieve compliance with building, fire, or accessibility codes in or on existing buildings when no other practical solution exists. The Community Development Director must first determine that the visual impact of the exemption is minimal and that no other reasonable way to implement code compliance exists. The Director may require notice be provided to adjacent landowners. Approval shall be in the form of a recordable administrative decision. The Applicant is proposing to increase general building code compliance and compliance with accessibility codes. Currently there are now accessible entrances to the building. With this proposal, a new accessible elevator will be built and the stairs will meet the current building code. Stafffinds this criterion is met. pg. 3 ATTACHMENT 2 —LAND USE APPLICATION PROJECT: AA �' AA Name: CM AD A5 14 Location: 0030 E. CCOffrtAVg.

The HOA is in the process of a remodel which will improve exterior staircases and decks and bring them up to current building code. These changes will not increase the non - conforming FAR and are therefore permissible. The HOA is also interested in constructing an elevator, applied to the exterior of the building. The proposed elevator would increase FAR as it is calculated at Section 26.575.020.D.2 of the Land Use Code. Typically an FAR increase requires a variance by the Planning and Zoning Commission, however, recent amendments to Calculations and Measurements have added the provision below. As such, the proposal to add an elevator to bring the building into Building Code Compliance can be processed administratively pursuant to Section 26.575.020.L. 26.575.020.L, Exceptions for Building Code Compliance. The Community Development Director may approve exceptions to the dimensional restrictions of this Section to accommodate improvements required to achieve compliance with building, fire, or accessibility codes in or on existing buildings when no other practical solution exists. The Community Development Director must first determine that the visual impact of the exemption is minimal and that no other reasonable way to implement code compliance exists. The Director may require notice be provided to adjacent landowners. Approval shall be in the form of a recordable administrative decision.

Sara Adams C/o City of Aspen Community Development Department 130 Galena Street Aspen, Colorado 81611 Dear Sara, This letter briefly explains the drawings that are separately attached. These drawings were prepared after an on site meeting to review concerns with the existing stair and balcony walkways. My structural engineer, Dale Kaup also attended the meeting. . The Chateau Aspen was built in 1967 + / -. The balcony walkways and stair system are constructed of heavy timber framing that is supported by heavy timber framing that is cantilevered from the face of the building. The balcony walkway and stair treads are 3x wood decking that was not designed to be waterproof. As a result the wood decking and some of the stair stringers and stair treads have significant water damage and can not be repaired without a total reconstruction. The stairs do not meet the current building code requirement for tread width. The first run of stairs up to the second floor cannot be rebuilt in their current location because of the head room code requirements conflict with the small balconies protruding from the building. This is a result of the increased length of stair run that results from the code required tread width of 11". I am proposing to move the first run of stairs out from the building on each side of the existing court yard approximately 4' to eliminate the head room problem. This solution will require the addition of approximately 16 s.f. of stair area at the first floor, 15 s.f. of stair landing area at the second floor and approximately 42 s.f. of stair landing area at the third floor to accommodate the revised stair run location. This additional area will exceed the area allowed for exterior deck area (12,000 s.f site area x .5 for the C -1 zone = 6,000 s.f allowable floor area x .15 = 900 s.f. allowable deck area). Currently the area of the structure is 24,000 s.f. +/- and the existing deck area is 1,610 s.f. The existing balcony walkways and stairs will be removed and replaced with a structural system that will be independent of the existing building. The condominium association is also considering the addition of an elevator to be located at the back of the courtyard to make the condo units on the second and third floor wheel chair and crutch accessible. This would add 50 s.f. of footprint area at each floor. 1 Chateau Aspen 630 Cooper Ave. DRAWINGS The drawings that show the new balcony walkways, stairs, and elevator are captioned Revised Stairs Option 1. 1 have included two perspective views as seen from Cooper Street of the revised stair and elevator Please call ifyou have questions.
