Francis Street Parcel ID No. 2735-124-19-851 APPLICANT: JAMMB, LLC REPRESENTATIVE: Mitch Haas - Haas Land Planning, LLC SUBJECT & SITE OF AMENDMENT: The Applicant is requesting three Residential Design Standard Variances for the property commonly known as 100 E. Francis St. (lengthy legal description attached as Exhibit A), related to the redevelopment of the subject parcel with two single-family residential units. All three variance requests are related the same Residential Design Standard regarding window -span, discussed below. SUMMARY: The Applicant has requested three Residential Design Standard Variances related to three different window locations - two on the primary residence and one on the secondary residence. The Applicant has requested these variances to permit three separate street- facing windows to span through the area between nine (9) and twelve (12) feet above the finished floor. A request for these Residential Design Standard Variances are required due to the language in City of Aspen Land Use Code, Section 26.410.040 (D)(3)(a), Residential Design Standards, Windows: "Street facing windows shall not span through the area where a second floor level would typically exist, which is between nine (9) and twelve (12) feet above the finished first floor. For interior staircases, this measurement will be made from the first landing if one exists. A transom window above the main entry is exempt from this standard. " 100 E. Francis is a lot with two street frontages - Garmisch St. (as it extends north as a public right-of-way, but is not a paved street) on the property's western edge, and Francis St., which extends along the property's southern edge as a bicycle/pedestrian pathway. This standard applies to all street-facing facades of the both proposed residential structures. In order to obtain a variance, the Applicant must meet one of two criterion per Section 26.410.020 (D) Variances of the Land Use Code: 1) Provide an appropriate design or pattern of development considering the context in which the development is proposed and the purpose of the particular standard. RECEPTION#: 594345, 11/30/2012 at 03:37:39 PM, 1 1 OF 7, R $41.00 Doc Code APPROVAL Janice K.Vos Caudill, Pitkin County, CO 2) Be clearly necessary for reasons of fairness related to unusual site-specific constraints. i STAFF EVALUATION: Staff supports two of the three proposed variance requests for the development at 100 E. Francis St., and finds that these two requests meet the criterion for Residential Design Variance, as per Section 410.020 (D)(1) of the Land Use Code. These variances are as follows: 1) Primary Residence: The Applicant has requested a variance from the aforementioned Residential Design Standard to permit windows at the location, designated as No. 1 in Figure A below, that will span 9'-12' from the ground level. Staff feels that a variance from the Residential Design Standard for the glazing requirements at this location provides an architectural enhancement of a portion of the building that has been designed to benefit from full extent of glass. This is a one-story element of the building, and does not appear to represent two stories. Furthermore, this area is set back nearly eighty feet (80') from the Francis St. property line, and therefore has limited exposure to the public way as the structure is experienced from the Francis St. right-of-way. Staff finds application to meet criterion no. 1 for a variance at this location.

Staff does not support a variance request for this location. Rather than a single window that serves as an architectural feature, this area contains multiple windows that span an entire length of wall. The building at this location can be perceived to be a two-story structure with windows spanning between the floors. Staff does not find that the architecture in this location of the building to be impaired by following the Residential Design Standard, and does not feel that the application meets either variance criterion at this location. 3) Secondary Residence: The Applicant has requested a variance from the aforementioned Residential Design Standard to permit windows at the location, designated as No. 3 in Figure B below, that will span 9'-12' from the ground j level. Staff feels that this request meets the criterion in a number of ways. This area complements the architecture found on the primary residence at the location of the first variance request, therefore providing a similar architectural vernacular within the proposed buildings on the site. Permitting glazing between the areas of 9'-12' here provides an architectural enhancement of this portion of the building that has been designed to benefit from full extent of glass. This is a one-story element of the building, and does not appear to represent two stories. Furthermore, the secondary residence is set back significantly from the Francis St. property line by approximately 220'. Although the Garmisch St. right-of-way borders the western portion of the property, this is an atypical public way, in that it exists primarily as a requirement of the City's Fire Protection District to access the back portion of this and the neighboring parcel. This is an unpaved right-of- way that extends from the intersection of Francis and Garmisch Streets, and is not a through street. Thus, this building has virtually no exposure to the public way. Staff finds that the Applicant has met the criterion no. 1 for requesting a variance from the applicable Residential Design Standard at this location. ­77 X-V i 1 � r T � I - A- R ESfC3ENCE 2 V31 _ n ►ifs� 0 J \ {3 1 } Figure B: Site plan depicting area on the secondary residence of third Residential Design Variance request. 3 DECISION: The Community Development Director finds two of the requested variances (designated as No. 1 in Figure A, above, and No. 3 in Figure B, above) from this Residential Design Standard to permit windows to span between 9' and 12', as measured from the finished floor, to be consistent with the review criteria (Exhibit C) and thereby, APPROVES the variances as specified below. The Community Development Director finds one of the requests for a variance from this Residential Design Standard to be inconsistent with the review criteria for this type of request, and denies approval at this location (designated as No. 2 in Figure A, above). The approved variances to 100 E. Francis St. allows for the construction of two areas of window at the locations depicted as areas No. 1 on Figure A, above, and No. 3 on Figure B, above, to span between 9' and 12' as measured from finished grade.

This 2+ acre, vacant property is situated on the edge of the West End neighborhood and in Aspen's R-6 Zone District. The application is submitted by JAMMB, LLC (owner and hereinafter "applicant," see proof of ownership, Exhibit 1)pursuant to Chapter 26.410, Residential Design Standards of the Aspen Land Use Code (the "Code"). The City's Land Use Application and Dimensional Requirements Forms are attached hereto as Exhibit 2. Authorization for Haas Land Planning, LLC and Jeffrey Berkus Architects to represent the applicant is attached as Exhibit 3. A Pre-Application Conference summary is attached hereto as Exhibit 4. An executed application fee agreement is attached as Exhibit 5. The applicant's representatives have already met with staff from the Community Development Department on several occasions to discuss the proposed development of two homes on the property. Based on these meetings and the plans presented, staff determined that other than the three administrative variances requested herein, compliance with all of the other Residential Design Standards has been sufficiently demonstrated for each of the residences. Additionally, staff has agreed that all street- facing porches are exempt from floor area calculations. (See the plan set accompanying this letter for a complete picture of the proposed development.) As mentioned above, the proposed development complies with all but two of the Residential Design Standards as summarized below. • 201 N. MILL STREET, SUITE 108 ASPEN, COLORADO • 8161 1 • PHONE: (970) 925-7819 FAX: (970) 925-7395 October 23, 2012 Page 2 100 East Francis-RDS Application A. Site Design 1. Building Orientation: The front facade of each residence is parallel to the streets, with the primary street being the Francis Street bike path right-of-way. In addition, a front porch element on Residence 1 has been designed to be parallel to the tangent of the midpoint of the arc of the Francis and Garmisch Streets intersection. 2. Build-to Lines: This standard is not applicable since the lot has an area of greater than 15,000 square feet. 3. Fences: This standard is not applicable as there are no new fences proposed. B. Building Form 1. Secondary Mass: Residence 1 complies since its garage structure provides a secondary mass linked to the principal building by an adequately dimensioned subordinate linking element (breezeway), and the garage structure includes more than 10% of the residence's total above grade square footage. Residence 2 has primary and secondary masses connected by a subordinate linking element that meets the spirit of the standard but does not meet the dimensional requirements; this is the first variance requested and detailed below. C. Parking, Garages and Carports 1. This standard is not applicable as alley access is not available, nor is the property accessed by means of a private road. 2. The property's only access is from a public street,therefore: a. Both residences comply. The width of the living area on the first floor of Residence 1's street-facing facade is significantly more than 5 feet greater than the width of its garage. The Residence 2 structure does not include an attached garage. b. Since the lot is more than 15,000 square feet, the garage has been designed to comply with subsection(c)below. c. The lot is greater than 15,000 square feet and its garage is forward of the Residence 1 front facade but the garage door is sited perpendicular to the street (side-loaded), thereby providing for compliance with this standard. Again,the Residence 2 structure does not include an attached garage. d. The garage finished floor level will be set based on appropriate engineering and grading but, in any event, will comply with the Residential Design Standards by being less than two feet above natural grade. There is no driveway cut in the front yard setback area. t October 23, 2012 100 East Francis-RDS Application Page 3 e. The Residence 1 garage structure's vehicle entrance width is less than 24 feet; therefore,this standard has been complied with. f. The garage door is less than 24 feet in width and is designed to appear like two single-stall doors. Since the garage doors are perpendicular to the street, they are visible only at limited vantage points and angles. A Building Elements 1. Street-oriented entrances and principal window: a. Residence 1 complies with this standard as the entry door faces the street (parallel to the tangent of the midpoint of the arc of the Francis and Garmisch Streets intersection), it is not more than ten feet (10') back from the front-most wall of the building and the door is eight feet (8') tall. Residence 2 likewise complies as its entry door faces Francis Street(the bike path), it is on the front- most wall of the building and the door is eight feet(8')tall. b. Both residences comply with this standard: both have a covered entry porch that is more than fifty (50) square feet in area, at least six feet (6') deep, and not more than one story in height. c. Both residences comply with this standard as each has at least one group of principal windows facing the street. 2. First Story Element: Residence 1 satisfies this standard with a breezeway/porch that has a plate height of just 9 feet and that spans approximately 42'-4" of the residence's approximately 152'-6" overall width (this equates to approximately 27.7% of the building's overall width). The breezeway meets the standard by being at least 6 feet deep, does not include interior living space, and there is no accessible space over/above the breezeway/porch. Residence 2 also satisfies this standard with two (2) first story elements: the one-story wing on its east side and the front entry porch at its southwest corner. The one-story eastern wing is approximately 10'-4" wide while the width of the entire residence is approximately 30'-9" (the first story element therefore equates to approximately 33% of the building's overall width). The one-story eastern wing is approximately 21'-11" deep and the plate height is less than 10 feet. 3. Windows: a. Both residences have street-facing windows that span into the area that sits between 9 and 12 feet above the finished first floor. This accounts for two of the three variances requested herein (one for each structure). These variance requests are discussed in detail below. b. Neither residence has any non-orthagonal windows, thereby satisfying this standard. , J October 23, 2012 100 East Francis-RDS Application Page 4 4. Lightwells: Both residences comply with this standard as all areaways, lightwells and/or stairwells on street-facing facades are entirely recessed behind the front- most wall of the associated structure. E. Context 1. Materials: a. Both residences satisfy this standard as materials are of the highest quality and are being consistently employed on all sides of the buildings. b. All materials are being used in ways that are true to their characteristics. c. No highly reflective surfaces are being used as exterior materials. 2. Inflection: This standard is not applicable as no one-story buildings exist directly adjacent to the subject property. Variance Requests With regard to Variances from the City of Aspen's Residential Design Standards (the "RDS"), the Land Use Code provides at Section 26.410.020(D)(1)that an applicant, ...may seek an administrative variance for not more than three (3) of the individual requirements. An applicant who desires a variance from the Residential Design Standards shall demonstrate, and the Community Development Director shall find that the variances, if granted, would: a. Provide an appropriate design or pattern of development considering the context in which the development is proposed and the purpose of the particular standard. In evaluating the context as it is used in the criteria, the director may consider the relationship of the proposed development with adjacent structures, the immediate neighborhood setting, or a broader vicinity as the director feels is necessary to determine if the exception is warranted; or, b. Be clearly necessary for reasons of fairness related to unusual site- specific constraints. In the current case, the applicant is requesting variances from the following Residential Design Standards: Building Form standard relating to the linking element requirement (26.410.040(B)(1)) for Residence Number Two, and the Building Elements standard relating to window heights (26.410.040(D)(3)) for both of the proposed residences. These standards are enumerated below in italicized text and each is followed by a response demonstrating why granting of the requested variance is appropriate. October 23, 2012 100 East Francis-RDS Application Page 5 B. Building form. The intent of the following building form standards is to respect the scale of Aspen's historical homes by creating new homes which are more similar in their massing, by promoting the development of accessory units off of the City alleys and by preserving solar access. 1. Secondary mass. All new single-family and duplex structures shall locate at least ten percent (10%) of their total square footage above grade in a mass which is completely detached from the principal building or linked to it by a subordinate linking element. This standard shall only apply to parcels within the Aspen infill area pursuant to Subsection 26.410.O10.B.2. Accessory buildings such as garages, sheds and accessory dwelling units are examples of appropriate uses for the secondary mass. A subordinate linking element for the purposes of linking a primary and secondary mass shall be at least ten (10)feet in length, not more than ten (10) feet in width, and with a plate height of not more than nine (9)feet. Accessible outdoor space over the linking element (e.g. a deck) is permitted but may not be covered or enclosed. Any railing for an accessible outdoor space over a linking element must be the minimum reasonably necessary to provide adequate safety and building code compliance and the railing must be 50% or more transparent. Residence 2 has primary and secondary masses connected by a linking element, but the linking element has a plate height of 9'-6" and does not meet the 10'minimum length nor the 10' maximum width. The structure's design and its linking element are fully consistent with the spirit of the standard. The linking element is in proportion to the size of the residence. The building is sited at an area of previous disturbance that allows for maintenance of existing "heritage" trees. If the linking element were made to be ten feet in length, the two masses that are being linked together would need to be spread out to the point where the heritage trees on both sides would have to be impacted. These heritage trees and the ability to make use of previous site disturbances both represent unusual site-specific constraints. Additionally, Residence 2 itself gives the appearance of being a secondary mass to Residence 1, much like an accessory structure would, and thereby serves to forward the purpose and intent of this standard. Residence 2,with the linking element proposed,provides an appropriate design or pattern of development when considering the immediate neighborhood setting and lack of adjacent structures. Also with regard to the site's context, there are no historical homes in such proximity as to make possible any adverse impacts or inconsistencies with their scale.

Street facing windows shall not span through the area where a second floor level would typically exist, which is between nine (9) and twelve feet (12) above the finished first floor. For interior staircases, this measurement will be made from the first landing if one exists. A transom window above the main entry is exempt from this standard. The "Windows" standard is part of the "Building Elements" requirements of the RDS. The purpose of the building element standards is "to ensure that each residential building has street facing architectural details and elements, which provide human scale to the faVade, enhance the walking experience and reinforce local building traditions." Although there are windows that span into the area between 9' and 12' above the finished first floor of both residences, it is clear that each such case of these windows is located in single-story areas that simply have extra volume but no second story above. In no case do these windows give the appearance of spanning through the area where a second floor level would typically exist. Not only in every case is it clear that the windows do not span into a second story, but in no place on either residence does an unbroken two-story volume exist. The entire house has been oriented to maximize solar gain and the expanses of glazing are similarly aimed at achieving this goal without diminishing the human scale of the architecture. Furthermore, the fenestration design and layout is wholly consistent with the style of architecture, which reinforces post-war local building traditions, and provides an appropriate pattern of development considering the site's relatively unique and isolated nature/context (there really are no adjacent structures). The walking experience along the Francis Street bike path will be enhanced with development of the proposed residences irrespective of the fact that windows will span into the area between 9 and 12 feet above the finished first floors. Furthermore, many of these windows spanning into the regulated zone do not technically "face" the street. For example, those on the south face of the Residence 1 structure are set some 65 to 140 feet back from the property line adjoining the Francis Street bike path, behind a veritable forest of very large "heritage" trees that almost completely obscure their visibility. All remaining groupings of windows that require this variance are so far back from the property line, are broken up with intervening solid materials, and/or are obscured by the proposed breezeway as to render the intent of this standard virtually moot. Finally, the windows on the garage structure span through the 9-12 foot zone but serve to forward the goals of other Residential Design Standards by eliminating the appearance of the structure as a garage, as demonstrated on the accompanying elevations. None of the proposed windows that span into the 9-12 foot zone are contrary to the spirit of this standard and the design creatively and appropriately addresses the unique setting of this property. October 23, 2012 100 East Francis-RDS Application Page 7 In summary, the proposed development complies with the spirit and the intent of the linking element and windows standards, as well as with the letter of every other RDS. All of the Site Design standards are met (building orientation, build-to lines, and fences), as are the Parking, Garages and Carports standards and the Context standards. All of the Building Elements standards other than the height of the windows are likewise met (street-oriented entrance and principal window, first story element, and lightwells). The foregoing narratives coupled with the accompanying plans demonstrate that the limited extent of the requested variances are justified by the context in which the development is proposed, constraints specific to the site, and the proposed design's continued ability to promote the purposes of the particular standards. It is requested that the Community Development Director (Chris) please sign in the provided space below to indicate Residential Design Standards approval, including the three administrative variances requested herein, for the accompanying plans. If you should have any questions, or if I can be of further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me. Yours truly, Haas Land Planning,LLC Mitch Haas Owner/Manager APPROVED: My signature below, as the City of Aspen Community Development Director, represents the grant of Residential Design Standards approval, including the three administrative variances requested herein, for the accompanying plans relative to proposed Residences 1 and 2 on the 100 East Francis Street property (Parcel ID # 2735-124-19-851) pursuant to Section 26.410.020 of the Aspen Land Use Code.
