Health Housing Other: FILE STATUS AND LOCATION: Case Disposition On May 8, 1989, the Aspen City Council consented to the attached action by the Planning Director, thereby granting the insubstantial amendment to the Summit Place townhomes parking plan. cc: Perry Harvey Findings and Action Summit Place Insubstantial PUD Amendment Request: The applicant requests approval of an insubstantial amendment to the Aspen Mountain PUD with respect to the Summit Place Townhomes. The request is to permit the parking, previously approved beneath the units, to be located directly across Summit Street, on Lot 3 of the PUD, as surface parking. Rationale: The applicant states that the technical consideration which could not be anticipated during the review process was the inability of the applicant to obtain the necessary easement from a neighbor. Obtaining the easement was a condition of approval which the applicant is now unable to meet. Evaluation: The proposal does not exceed any of the review standards identified in Section 7-907 A 1 through A 8 of the Aspen Land Use Regulations. The applicant has presented materials demonstrating that the project will not exceed the permitted floor area established within the PUD, although the usable living area within the buildings has increased. The parking plan is acceptable to the City Engineer, with conditions, as described in the attached letter from Jay Hammond dated April 3 , 1989. Having visited the site and reviewed the site plan, we concur that the amendment is acceptable, provided the conditions below are met. Recommendation: The insubstantial amendment is approved, subject to the following conditions being met: 1. The east edge of the parking area shall be located at least 10 feet west of the property line. 2 . The minimum width of each parking space shall be 8 1/2 feet. 3 . The applicant shall submit a document, suitable for recordation, committing to remove the parking from this location and agreeing to incorporate it beneath the Summit Place units, within a parking structure for the Top of Mill project or at another location satisfactory to the Aspen City Council. When the parking is relocated, the applicant shall replace the curb which now exists along this site. 4 . The applicant shall submit to the Planning Office revised elevations and plat drawings for recordation purposes prior to the issuance of any building permit for the project. 5. No trees shall be removed from the property to accommodate the parking spaces. The disturbed slope shall be stabilized to insure that none of the existing trees are undermined. summitconsent. 1 MEMORANDUM TO: Aspen City Council FROM: Alan Richman, Planning Director N° )\ RE: Insubstantial Amendment: Summit Place Townhomes DATE: April 24, 1989 Staff has been working with the representatives of the Aspen Mountain PUD project to process an insubstantial amendment to the _ - _ - - Summit Place Townhomes portion of the PUD. The amendment is required because the applicant has been unable to meet one of the conditions of the project' s approval, which is to obtain an easement from a neighboring property owner to access the project' s garages, located beneath the units. Therefore, the applicant has identified an alternative off-site location, directly across Summit Street, to provide the necessary parking. A copy of the proposed site plan is attached for your reference. The applicant requests approval for the parking to be located on the south side of Summit Street, in a surface parking configuration. A previous request by the applicant to construct a carport in this location was denied by staff for two reasons. First, we found that development of a new structure exceeded our authority under the insubstantial amendment criteria. We also determined that the revised design increased the floor area on the site beyond that permitted in the PUD agreement. The current proposal, however, can be approved, since it corrects both of these problems. Staff' s findings and action on this request are attached to this memo. While the Code permits the staff to grant final approval to this change, we felt the need for this item to be placed on the public record, given the significant public attention given to the entire project. Therefore, we recommend that Council consent to the attached findings and staff level approval of the amendment. summitconsent • • • i•' w. :: 7'J.jai :I'- sq�,at'°C1 • y1'11 , Ij �► `, 75°o000" E co771 • ., L ra,lA�( I :,t\ I , . �; r ' • ii n• 1`fl7 uN tr A N to I utiri A - '/ �___ ® 141 • i __ 1 y..• 5 T / N ' I o — — . 11111 ,;-o HI I , loI MW j.

Hyman Avenue Aspen, Colorado 81611 Re: Surface Parking at Summit Place Dear Joe: I have reviewed the site plan for surface parking on the south side of Summit Street for the Summit Place development included with your letter of March 24. The parking proposal is less than ideal, creating a continuous curb cut of some 64 feet. City code would normally require a single curb cut of about 18 feet though it does allow variation of this requirement for special conditions at the discretion of the City Engineer (19.102) . There are several site conditions and representations which compel me to grant the request for this curb cut. a. Topography - The ground slope in the area points to the difficulty and adverse impact associated with moving the parking away from the curb line. The adjacent slope would mandate extensive excavation and slope stabilization. b . Summit Street - Summit Street in this area is an easement through the Aspen Mountain Subdivision and not a conventional street right-of-way. It is subject to very minor traffic volumes, minimizing undesirable conflicts. c. Temporary Nature - I consider your offer of a commitment to relocate the parking within five years of C . O. a mandatory aspect of this configuration. Approval of the parking design is conditioned on several items: 1 . Location of the east edge of the parking area at least 10 feet west of the property line. 2 . Minimum stall width of 8 1/2 feet. Page Two April 3 , 1989 Surface Parking at Summit Place 3 . Commitment to removal within five years of C.O. for Summit Place per your letter to me of March 24 , 1989 . Call me if questions arise. Very Truly Yours, 40, V() f A J.y W.

Galena Aspen, CO 81611 Dear Jay: As we discussed, I am forwarding a drawing of the revised parking solution proposed for Summit Place as well as some back-up information regarding the Insubstantial Amendment request we filed with the Planning Office a few days ago. Originally, our request included a new parking garage in the same location as the surface spaces, but Alan Richman felt that such a change would have to go back to P&Z and City Council under a full amendment process . We are prepared to accept as a condition that within a file-year period from issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy for Summit Place, the parking must either be re-incorporated into the Summit Place structure, as presently shown on the First Amended Plat, or approval must be secured from the City for a plan at Top of Mill incorporating parking for the Summit Place project . I think Alan is prepared to place our proposed changes on Council ' s consent agenda if you can sign-off on the parking proposal. Let me know at 925-8080 if you need additional information.

According to my calculations (see attached figures) , the FAR of the project is now 7, 392 square feet, and the total floor area is 9,989 square feet under the current regulations for calculating FAR. This is now well within the FAR square footage limitation established under the First Amended and Restated PUD/Subdivision Agreement and Plat documents of 7, 700 square feet . Jay has now agreed that the surface parking is acceptable with the conditions shown in his letter. Our new site plan reflects the changes that Jay has requested. Give me a call at 925-8080 if you have any questions about the project .
