FROM:
RE:
Alpine Cottages Insubstantial PUD Amendment
DATE:
August 23, 2000
SUMMARY:
Alpine Cottages LLC., represented by Tim Semrau, has applied for an insubstantial
amendment to an approved POO for Lots A, B, and C of Alpine Cottages
Subdivision located on Robinson Road northeast of the Alpine Cottage Affordable
Housing Project. This request is to exempt Lots A, B, and C from the secondary
mass requirement because of site constraints. Lot D of the Alpine Cottages
Subdivision already received a secondary mass variance pursuant to Planning and
Zoning Commission Resolution #99-43.
The applicant proposes that the lots and building envelopes were platted and
approved prior to the adoption of the current design standards. The applicant
contends that the lots were configured so that an undue hardship would be placed on
the development if the revised residential design standards, specifically the
Secondary Mass Requirement, were required to be met on this site pursuant to the
City of Aspen Land Use Code, Section 26.410.
Staff has reviewed this proposed amendment and recommends administrative
approval by the Director.
