Miner's Trail road consists of 5 single family homes (one vacant lot). The owners of these homes also control the units in the condo building (8 units total). These owners have signed off on the proposed design with the larger window well. All around the site;to the west, north and east of the site are apartment buildings. See attached Google Earth photo with out building in the center of the photo. Window wells, in general are not a common occurrence in the immediate neighborhood. I did find walk out patios on the Hunter Longhouse building (see photo)where the patio is well below the parking area and a series 1 of railroad tie walls terrace back up to the level of the parking lot. As I stated previously,this an unusual site condition (where the sidewalk/public right-of-way is over 100'from the front door facing a street)that doesn't happen elsewhere in the immediate area (or anywhere else in the city that I am aware of), except for the existing window well on our building directly to the east of the driveway. See attached photo. Please let me know if you need anything else. Thanks for your time in this matter. Thanks. Bob p.s. please note,the photos(PDF's) are larger files, so I will send more photos in separate email to follow.

I would also recommend at least grabbing the Hunter Creek Condos across Lone Pine. If there are other buildings in the nearby vicinity(Lone Pine Condos, Fox Crossing, etc)that you think would help your case I would recommend those as well. We usually tend to look at the buildings that are very close by, and remember, we are looking to see if large window wells forward of the front fa4ade are common to the neighborhood or not.

As the pre-app mentioned,we have two review criteria for residential design variances: 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. We would like to see some photos of the neighborhood context to get a better understanding if criteria a)would be applicable to this situation. it is not necessarily out of the question for an administrative approval, but we would like more information before making a final determination if we can approve or if it should go before P&Z.

The subject property is Lot 7 of the Mocklin Subdivision and is zoned AH. The Subdivision was approved under Ordinance No. 35, Series of 1995, which also establishes an allowable floor area ratio of 0.40.1 and an open space requirement of approximately 60 percent. The existing building consists of 7 deed-restricted units and one free-market unit. The proposed lightwell would be for the free-market unit. The variance request relates to lightwells and Section 26.410.040.D.4 which requires lightwells on the street-facing fagade(s) of a building to be entirely recessed behind the front-most wall of the building. Staff will accept an application for administrative review. The following two criteria are used in determining the appropriateness of a variance: 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 reviewing board may consider the relationship of the proposed development with adjacent structures, the immediate neighborhood setting or a broader vicinity as the board 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. If staff cannot support administrative approval, application can be made to the Planning and Zoning Commission.

Stewart Title File Number: 01330-12545 932A WARRANTY DEED STCO Page 2 till robert mehall ARCHITECT memorandum to: City of Aspen/Community Development from: Bob Mehall date: 05 June 13 re: Residential Design Standard Variance Duncan Residence Remodel—Casa Aspen 202 Lone Pine Road, Unit 1 —Mocklin Condominiums Aspen, Colorado This project will remodel the only free-market unit in an 8 unit multi-family building built in two phases in the 1960's ('64 & '68). The other 7 units are employee units controlled by the local housing authority. Unit I occupies floor space on all three levels of western half of the existing wood framed three-story building. We have previously submitted for a permit(0015.2013.ARBK)that calls out remodeling the interior finishes of the Upper Floor. We would also like to remodel the Ground and Lower Floors of Unit 1. We have applied for and received an Administrative PUD Amendment to do this interior work as shown in the attached drawings. The proposed window well to the Lower Floor Family Room does not comply with the Residential Design Standards(Section 26.410.040.D.4)for light wells being"entirely recessed behind the front-most wall of the building". We are seeking a variance to allow for this larger window well as proposed. As stated in Chapter 26.410.010, Section A, "The purpose of the design standards is to preserve the established neighborhood scale and character and to ensure that Aspen's streets and neighborhoods are public places conductive to walking." We totally agree with this desire for maintaining streets and sidewalks that encourage walking and interaction between residents and passersby, but in our case the closest public sidewalk is over 100' from the front door of Unit#1 on the opposite(south side)of Miner's Trail Road. As shown on the survey and site plan,the front door and the proposed window well are located on the private(Limited Common Element)concrete driveway that provides access only to Unit#1 from Miner's Trail Road and Lone Pine Road. Section A goes on to say, "... and maintaining a certain consistency in front setback patterns,there is an interaction between residents and passersby and the built environment." We contend that the distance and open space(trees, stream and pond)between the public sidewalk and the front door/porch of Unit#I are already inconsistent with this desire for interaction between residents and passersby. Only people coming to visit Unit#I will even know that the proposed window well even exists as they walk on the private driveway to the entry porch and front door. We would like to provide a brief explanation of the drawings and photos that are attached with this proposal. Ground Floor—Sheet A2.2 Currently, the ground floor of Unit I is an Entry Foyer and a 4-car garage with a toilet room and storage room. The owners are going to convert one stall/bay (the western most stall adjacent to the Entry Foyer)of the Garage to habitable space which would function as a Mudroom as well as a connector to the Lower Floor. Outside, we are proposing a new planter over the small portion of space where the Lower Floor extends out past the south wall of the Ground Floor at the new Mudroom. To the south of the planter we are proposing a new 3-tiered window well to provide light, ventilation and emergency egress for the Lower Floor. To the south of the window well we are showing a new brick paved area at the current concrete driveway which helps define the entry experience leading to the front door. The porch also includes a brick bench and guardrails as required by code at both the east and west sides. The porch is located to avoid disturbing with the existing trees along the west end of the driveway. As part of this remodel, we will be removing the fiberglass overhead doors and will replace them with one single and one double overhead door with applied wood trim to look like single stall doors.

We are going to relocate and replace(original boiler — 1968)and the existing equipment to a space(Common Area#2/room 002)that would be accessible from the existing mechanical room (Common Area#Uroom 001)of Phase 1 noted above. This location also puts the boiler under the existing boiler flue which runs straight up through Unit 1. As mentioned above we are proposing a new window well to open up a portion of the south wall of the lower floor to make a new Family Room (room 004)with windows for light,ventilation and emergency egress. Also in the new Family Room, we are showing a new bathroom (Lower Bathroom/room 003)and Wet Bar along with bunkbeds. Photos Photo A—this is taken from the intersection of Miner's Trail Road and Lone Pine Road looking to the west. To the right of the large conifer tree in the middle of the photo is the private driveway belonging to Unit#1. At the far end of the driveway, you can see a blue truck which is sitting approximately where the proposed window well is to be located. Indicated are the three locations along the sidewalk to the left of the shots looking towards the front door& window well in the following photos. Photo A 1 - this is taken while standing in the driveway of Lot 6 Photo A2—this is taken while standing in the driveway of Lot 5 Photo A3 —this is taken while standing in the driveway of Lot 3 Photo A4—this photo shows the existing window well at Unit#4 which also faces south. Photo B—this photo is taken from the southwest corner of the private driveway looking back at the existing south- side of the building. The window well will be located in the section of driveway below and to the left of the truck. The top of the brick wall (bricks to match the existing brick arches at the front doors)at the window well will align with the bottom of the entry doors and will be approximately 14"high to allow for recessed step lights to illuminate this area. Photo C—this photo is taken at the southeast corner of the private driveway looking back towards the entry to Unit #l. Per Section 26.410.020.D, we are allowed to request an administrative variance of up to three of the individual requirements. We are asking for one variance and voluntarily looking to clean up another issue(garage doors)with regards to the design standards. Please review and let me know if you have any questions.
