DATE: January 8, 2007
SUBJECT PROPERTY:
Lot 5, Block 2
Knollwood Subdivison
203 Roaring Fork Drive
Zoning: R15B
..
..,
This is a request for a variance from City of Aspen Ordinance
26.575.040 which states that driveways shall not exceed a depth
or height greater than thirty (30) inches above or below grade,
and,
Parking is only permitted within required setbacks if it is in an
approved driveway or other area approved for parking.
APPLICANTS' PLANS
Applicant intends to remove the existing 30 year old home and to
replace it with a home on fundamentally the same footprint and
location on the lot. This orientation will be optimal for solar and
the same location will reduce the amount of excavation.
EXISTING CONDITIONS
The existing home is accessed only by a driveway on a 30 year
old access easement on the adjoining parcel. This driveway is
., >
,~
4 ./
very steep, almost 20 degrees and access for a fire truck in
winter would be questionable. City Code establishes a maximum
slope of 12% for driveways.
OBJECTIVE:
1. To have a private driveway that complies with City
requirements.
2. To have a parking area adjacent to the driveway.
SOLUTION
Establish a new driveway entering from Roaring Fork Drive to
the subject parcel. At the same time lower a portion of the
existing driveway to create a 12% slope. Portions of the
driveway will be lowered up to 36 inches below existing grade.
Sides of the cut would be tapered at least 45 degrees to grade.
Abandon a portion of the access easement and in exchange
receive an easement to allow minimal parking on the adjoining
parcel.
Note: The owner of the adjoining parcel is in full agreement with
this plan as he will end up with a private driveway, rather than a
shared driveway.
Note: The lowered portion of the driveway will not be visable by
any neighbors nor from traffic on Roaring Fork Drive.
A VARIANCE SHOULD BE GRANTED BECAUSE:
1. It is consistent with the Aspen Area Community Plan as this
change would bring the driveway into compliance and it would
allow access by emergency vehicles.
2. The requested change is the minimum way to bring the
driveway into compliance. The only easier way would be to
,-.

lower the whole driveway in the existing easement, however the
owner of the adjoining parcel would not agree to that.
3. This parcel is unique to other parcels in the neighborhood in
that the driveway is on an access easement on an adjoining lot
and the driveway is dangerously steep.
4. Granting the variance does not grant special privileges to the
applicant, it will, in fact, make the subject parcel consistent with
other parcels in the neighborhood eg. it will have a private
driveway compliant with grade requirements.
