HECHT AREA CODE 303 July 23, 1975 TELE;PHONE 925-2600 Mr. Charles Paterson Chairman Members of the Board Board of Adjustment Post Office Box V Aspen, Colorado 81611 Re: A variance from parking requirements for property described in Appendix A attached hereto Dear Mr. Paterson and Members of the Board: Stephen Marcus has filed an application with this Board asking it to grant relief from the parking require- ments of the municipal code of the City of Aspen. The applicant submits the following pragmatic and compelling reasons for granting the variance herein requested: (1) The subject property is immediately adjacent to the Rio Grande site which is a public parking facility and therefore any additional parking spaces required under the code are unnecessary. In recent months, there has been wide-spread concern about the Rio Grande property and how the parking facility can be more effectively used. The applicant plans to build an athletic facility on the above- referenced property that will generate use of that parking facility. (2) use the Rio interest in property. Such a variance would create an incentive to Grande parking lot and would be in the public that it will generate activity on the Rio Grande The applicant further states that the parking require- ment is an unnecessary burden on the subject property and a complete exemption from that requirement is the minimum ..r OATES, AUSTIN & MCGRATH Mr. Charles Paterson Members of the Board Page Two July 23, 1975 variance that would make possible the reasonable use of the subject land for the building contemplated. The applicant further urges this Board to make the following specific findings with respect to this application: (1) That the special conditions and circumstances, particularly the location of this property and the necessity for a variance from the parking requirements do not result from the actions of the applicant. (2) That special circumstances apply to this property, particularly the juxtaposition of this property to the Rio Grande parking facility, and do not apply to similar properties in the same vicinity and zone. (3) That the granting of a variance is essential to the enjoyment of the substantial property right enjoyed by other properties in the same vicinity and zone. (4) affect the Indeed, it The granting of the variance will not adversely general purpose of the comprehensive general plan. can only enhance that plan. For the foregoing reasons the applicant respectfully submits that it is appropriate for this Board to grant the variance requested. Sincerely, OATES, AUSTIN & McGRATH By ~ ...c:::: / ~ Andrew V.
