FOR AN INSUBSTANTIAL PLANNED DEVELOPMENT AMENDMENT
TO ASPEN MEADOWS SUBDIVISION,LOT 1-A; COMMONLY KNOWN AS

SUBJECT &
SITE OF APPROVAL: Insubstantial Planned Development (PD) Amendment at
845 Meadows Road, Aspen CO 81611.
ZONING: Academic/SPA
SUMMARY:
The applicant requests an Insubstantial Planned Development (PD) (formerly known as
Specially Planned Area/SPA) Amendment to the Aspen Meadows SPA. The amendment
will allow the conversion of the southeastern clay tennis court shown in Exhibit A — Site
Plan, to a storage area for the maintenance equipment. Changes to the clay court include
covering the surface in gravel and installation of golf cart charging stations. The existing
partial fence between the two courts will be extended to fully enclose the remaining clay
court and screen mesh netting matching the existing mesh will be installed. An additional
mesh screen will be added to the existing screen on the perimeter of the storage area to
screen the area from public view. The storage area would be used year round. Stored
equipment would be covered with canvas tarps in the winter months and the court would
be plowed to allow for access to the stored items. The outdoor storage area would be
occasionally used as an overflow lot for special events and would be manned by valet
staff only. No new buildings are proposed by the applicant.
STAFF EVALUATION:
The operating needs of Aspen Meadows have changed in the 23 years since the
development was approved. The parking garage, constructed in 1992, has been utilized
for operational, maintenance and storage needs. As a result, 21 spaces of the approved 97
are no longer being used in a manner consistent with Ordinance 14 of 1991 and the
Aspen Meadows SPA and Subdivision approval documents. The conversion of the clay
court to a storage area for the equipment currently stored in the parking garage will
reinstate the approved parking spaces for the Aspen Meadows SPA and Subdivision.
spaces. The number of tennis courts are not specified in Ordinance No. 14, Series 1991
and the Aspen Meadows SPA. The changes will not change to character or use of the
PD.
The proposed changes are consistent with the intent with the SPA document. Staff finds
the review criteria for an Insubstantial PD Amendment are met, as described in Exhibit B.
DECISION:
The Community Development Director finds the Administrative Application for an
Insubstantial PD Amendment as noted above and on Exhibit A to be consistent with
the review criteria (Exhibit B) and thereby,APPROVES the request.

EXHIBIT B
REVIEW CRITERIA&STAFF FINDINGS:
26.445.100. Amendments
A. Insubstantial Amendments. An insubstantial amendment to an approved
development order for a final development plan may be authorized by the Community
Development Director. The following shall not be considered an insubstantial amendment:
1. A change in the use or character of the development.
Staff Finding: Currently, the parking garage is being used to also store
maintenance equipment which has displaced approximately 21 of the 97 parking
spaces. The applicant proposes to convert the southeastern clay tennis court shown
in Exhibit A for a storage area for the maintenance equipment. Changes to the clay
court include covering the surface in gravel and installation of golf cart charging
stations. The existing partial fence between the two courts will be extended to fully
enclose the remaining clay court and screen mesh netting matching the existing
mesh will be installed. An additional mesh screen will be added to the existing
screen on the perimeter of the storage area to screen the area from public view.
The storage area would be used year round. Stored equipment would be covered
with canvas tarps in the winter months and the court would be plowed to allow for
access to the stored items. The outdoor storage area would be occasionally used as
an overflow lot for special events and would be manned by valet staff only. No new
buildings are proposed by the applicant.
Ordinance 14 of 1991, Section 2, Item 2 on p. 6 states "The applicant shall provide
97 parking spaces at the West Meadows facilities pending construction of the West
Meadows parking structure". Neither Ordinance 14, Series 1991 nor the Aspen
Meadows Specially Planned Area (SPA) Development & Subdivision Agreement
stipulate the number of tennis courts to be maintained. The conversion of the
southeastern clay tennis court to a storage area would reclaim the 21 spaces
satisfying the 97 parking space requirement stipulated in the SPA. The proposed
changes also include restriping of the garage to potentially gain 4-6 compact car
parking spaces.
As a result of the proposed changes, the character of the PUD shall be retained
and not negatively altered by this proposal. Staff finds this criterion met.
2. The request is consistent with the conditions and representations in the project's
original approval, or otherwise represents an insubstantial change.
Staff Finding: The proposal would reclaim 21 of the 97 parking spaces required by
the SPA. The SPA does not have a requirement for the number of tennis courts that
must be maintained. Staff finds this criterion met.
3. The request does not require granting a variation from the project's allowed
use(s) and does not request an increase in the allowed height or floor area.
Staff Finding: The proposal does not require a variance be granted for this use. A
new building is not proposed; therefore, the project would not increase floor area
nor result in an increase of allowed height. This criterion is not applicable.
4. Any proposed changes to the approved dimensional requirements are limited
to a technical nature, respond to a design parameter that would not have been
foreseen during the Project Review approval, are within dimensional
tolerances stated in the Project Review, or otherwise represents an
insubstantial change.
Staff Finding: The project will create a fenced storage area and will not result in a
change to the allowable dimensions, including allowable floor area,for the subject
property. This criterion is not applicable.
5. An applicant may not apply for Detailed Review if an amendment is pending.
Staff Finding.•No amendments are pending for the subject property. Stafffinds this
criterion met.

Hi Jinn,
I discussed the case with Jen and the understanding during the pre-application process is that the amendment
would allow for the nonconformity to come into compliance. Utilizing the parking spaces for storage in the winter
would not resolve the nonconformity.The pre application was for an Insubstantial PD Amendment to convert one
of the clay courts for storage. Reducing the number of parking spaces cannot be processed administratively. I did
make a mistake in saying this would require a major amendment, it would actually be a-minor amendment to a
detailed review approval (Section I6.44S.1IO(E)).This would require public hearing at P&Z�
Please let me know if you have any other questions.
Thanks!

For consistency among fencing & netting, the Meadows proposes the interior fence green netting match the
exterior fence green netting. Thus, the interior fence netting is proposed to be 6" below top of interior fence &
10" above bottom of interior fence. However, if Community Development prefers the interior green netting go
100%top to bottom or alternatively, leave 6" at top, but 100% at bottom, the Meadows will install the netting
this way. Thanks.

Hi Jim,
Thanks for the photos. It appears that the fence in the center would be extended to
separate the two courts and the tables in the center would be removed. Is that
correct?

Hillary,

Attached are photos showing the existing tennis fencing around the tennis courts.
The existing tennis fencing is 10'-4" high. The green netting is 6" below top of
fence & 10" above bottom of fence. The existing fencing & netting is proposed to
remain in place "as is". The Meadows will install a 2nd layer of green netting on
the fence, around the easterly court proposed for storage, if the Community
Development feels this is preferable as stated in the application.
The proposed interior fence separating the easterly "storage" court from the
westerly "playable" court will match the existing interior fencing which is up.
This interior fencing is also 10'-4" high & the Meadows will install green netting
on the interior fence identical to the exterior fence. Again, the Meadows will
install 2 layers of green netting on the interior fence if this is preferred by
Community Development.
If you want, I will be happy to do a site visit with you at your convenience. Just
let me know. Thanks.

ASPEN MEADOWS PARKING GARAGE AND ABOVE GRADE STORAGE
I. APPLICATION SUMMARY
This application is for the following: Code Section
1. Common Development Review Procedure 26.304
2. Planned Development Insubstantial Amendments 26.445.110A
This application is illustrated by the drawings outlined below and inserted
following the text of the application.
1. Existing Conditions and Context Map
2. Parking Garage, Tennis Courts and Proposed Above Grade Storage Area
3. Parking Garage, Tennis Courts and Proposed Above Grade Storage Photograph
Outlined below are the application items we discussed at our January 17 Pre-
Application Conference.
A. PARKING GARAGE & ABOVE GRADE STORAGE
The Aspen Meadows parking garage was constructed in approx. 1992 and was
designed to park 97 cars. Over the years, parking spaces have been cannibalized by
the operational, maintenance and storage needs of the Aspen Meadows and Aspen
Institute. Based on a survey of the garage, approximately 21 of the 97 parking
spaces have been cannibalized by golf carts, service vehicles, maintenance and
grounds equipment, lawn mowers, small tools, paper records, etc.
The Aspen Meadows would like to reclaim these 21 spaces and potentially gain
an additional 4-6 spaces by restriping sections of the garage for compact cars. The
Meadows proposes to relocate the "garage stuff and other miscellaneous operational
& maintenance stuff"' by converting the southeasterly clay tennis court to a general
storage area as shown on the attached sketch. The conversion would be minimal --
cover the clay court with road base gravel, install power for golf carts recharging,
1
f
build a screen fence along the interior western side to screen the storage from the
adjoining tennis court, and double the existing tennis netting along the exterior of
the storage (if necessary) to screen the storage from public view. No buildings are
proposed for the storage area. Exhibit A is a list of the types of items that would be
located in the storage area. In my research of the 1992 SPA Plan (recorded at
Reception# 340937) and City Council Ordinance # 14 (Series of 1991) which
approved the SPA Plan, I find no mention of maintaining six tennis courts,
maintaining clay tennis courts or requiring public use of the tennis courts as part of
the SPA Approval. In fact, City Council Ordinance #14, Condition#2 (Exhibit B)
reads as follows "The applicant shall provide 97 parking spaces at the West
Meadows facilities pending construction of the West Meadows parking structure."
Unfortunately, but probably understandable, the 1992 SPA Plan did not provide for
a general storage and service area in anticipation of the operational and storage
needs of the Aspen Meadows and Aspen Institute.
The storage area is envisioned to only be used in the summer. Winter plowing
and use of the storage is not proposed at this time. The parking demand at the
Meadows is mainly a summer only demand. In the winter,there is excess capacity in
the garage to allow the golf carts, service vehicles, etc. to be stored in the garage. As
we discussed, this is an "experiment" to see the best way to use and manage the
storage area between the summer and winter operations. As we also discussed,
periodically and only on an as needed basis in the summer, portions or all of the
storage area may be used for large Special Events parking. It is estimated this may
occur a few times a summer and would be valet parking only by Meadows
personnel. The Meadows wishes to be upfront and transparent in acknowledging
large Special Event parking may periodically occur, but this is not the primary intent
of the storage area. The primary intent is to "free-up" the 21 cannibalized spaces in
the garage.
II. COMMON DEVELOPMENT REVIEW PROCEDURE,
CODE SECTION 26.304
Applicant understands and agrees to the Common Development Procedures set
forth in Code Section 26.304 and the Pre-Application Conference Summary.
III. PLANNED DEVELOPMENT INSUBSTANTIAL AMENDMENT,
CODE SECTION 26.445.110A
2
The criteria for an insubstantial amendment are addressed below as set forth in
Code Section 26.445.110A.
1. The request does not change the use or character of the development. Applicant
feels the proposed amendment does not change the use or character of the
development. City Council. Ordinance #14, Condition#2 states that the Meadows
shall provide 97 spaces in the parking garage. To achieve this, the operational and
storage needs of the Meadows and Institute must be met elsewhere on the property.
Applicant feels converting one clay tennis court is the least intrusive way to achieve
the necessary storage area. Unfortunately, but probably understandable, the 1992
SPA Plan never provided for a general storage and service area for the Meadows
and Institute operations.
2. The request is consistent with the conditions and representations in the
project's original approval, or otherwise represents an insubstantial change.
Applicant feels the proposed amendment is consistent with the original approval to
provide 97 spaces in the parking garage and the proposed storage area is an
insubstantial change necessary to achieve the 97 spaces in the parking garage.
3. The request does not require granting a variation from the project's allowed
use(s) and does not request an increase in the allowed height or floor area.
Applicant feels the proposed amendment does not require a variance from the
project's allowed uses and does not request an increase in the allowed heights or
floor area.
4. Any proposed changes to the approved dimensional requirements are limited to
a technical nature, respond to a design parameter that could not have been foreseen
during the Project Review approval, are within dimensional tolerances stated in the
Project Review, or otherwise represents an insubstantial change. Applicant feels the
proposed amendment does not change the dimensional requirements of the project;
are consistent with the original approval to provide 97 spaces in the parking garage;
and are necessary because a general storage and service area was never provided for
in the 1992 SPA Plan.
5. An applicant may not apply for a Detailed Review if an amendment is pending.
Not applicable.

cially planned area development component:
1. The Developer' s final plan submission is complete and
sufficient to afford review and evaluation for approv-
al.

2. APPLICANT understands and agrees that the City of Aspen has an adopted fee structure for Land
