RE:
Residential Design Standard Variances for 73 Smuggler Grove
SUMMARY: The subject property is a 6,211 square foot lot inthe Moderate-Density
Residential (R-15A) zone district. Currently, there is a non-conforming duplex on the lot.
The applicant is proposing a single-family dwelling unit and detached garage and ADD.
The applicant sought and received setback variances from the Board of Adjustment in
September 2002. The Board of Adjustment granted an ex.tension (BOA variances expire
in a year from the date they are granted) in September 2003. The plan which the Board of
Adjustment approved requires two variances from the Residential Design Standards.
The applicant requests a variance from the Residential Design Standards related to the
one story element and garage orientation. The requirements for these standards are as
follows:
· 26.41 0.040(C)(2)(b): The supporting column of a carport or garage shall be set
back at least ten feet (10' Oil) further from the street than the front most wall of the
house.
· 26.410.040(D)(2): First story element. All residential buildings shall have a
first-story street-facing element the width of which comprises at least twenty (20)
percent of the building's overall width and the depth o{whiCh isafleas1:six.(6)
feet from the wall the first-story element is projecting from. Assuming that the
first story element includes interior living space, the height of the first story
element shall not exceed ten (10) feet, as measured to the plate height. A first-
story element may be a porch or living space. Accessible space (whether it is a
deck, porch, or enclosed area) shall not be allowed over the first story element,
however, accessible space over the remaining first story elements on the front
fa<;ade shall not be precluded.
APPLICANT: Mike Seguin represented by Rally Dupps of Consortium Architects and
Mitch Haas of Haas Land Planning. The application is included as Exhibit A.
LOCATION: 73 Smuggler Grove, East Meadow Subdivision, Lot 5.
ZONING: Moderate-Density Residential (R-15A).
1"""\
SITE DESCRIPTION: The proposed project is a single-family home on q 6,211 square
foot non-conforming R-15A lot. The lot has utility easements that run around the west
and south sides of the lot and a sewer easement which splits the lot in half. The Board of
Adjustment granted front yard setback variances for both the principal and accessory
buildings and a side yard setback variance for the north side yard.
REVIEW STANDARDS AND STAFF EVALUAtION: Pursuant to Section
26.222, in order to authorize a variance frorIlthe Residential Design Standards,
the Planning and Zoning Commission shall make a finding that Standard 1 or
Standard 2 is met.
In response to the review criteria for DRAC variance(s), staff makes the
following findings:
1. Standard: 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,
Response: The neighborhood consists of seven non-conforming
lots in terms of size and density. There is an eighth lot that complies
with the minimum lot size requirements. Staff feels that due to the
location of the subdivision as well as the wide variety of structures
existing on the street that this standard is not applicable.
2. Standard: Be clearly necessary for reasons of fairness related to
unusual site-specific constraints.
Response: Staff believes the garage variance request can be
granted based on site-specific constraints. The constrained building
envelope as well as the orientation of the access for the lot creates a
situation where side-loading the garage is the only option. Further,
the code allows for a side-loaded garage forward of the front most
column of the house on lots larger than 15,000 square feet. So, the
code does allow for the design as proposed but there is not enough
square footage on the lot. Staff finds that there are no site-specific
constraints which would prevent the applicant from providing a one-
story element.

one story element has been largely a staff interpretation. We respectfully disagree with this past
ruling that an uncovered open deck over this space would have any other visual interpretation from
the street than a one story element. If we are forced to make this area inaccessible, we would replace
the deck railing with a gabled roof, that we feel would have far more visual impact that that of an
open 36" tall guardrail. We further argue that should DRAC grant a variance for this small request
that this would NOT serve as a precedent allowing all others after us, to get the same variance. As
stated above, our project faces a multitude of building restrictions and site specific, unique
circumstances that bring us before you with this application; a combination of which is very unlikely
. to ever occur again.
As far as the remainder of requirements for a one story element, this deck meets all of the other
Residential Design Standard guidelines. Our 7' -3" deep deck exceeds the 6' minimum depth, is 17'
wide and thus more than 20% of the building's overall st~eetfacing width, and has a plate height of
less than 10'.
Our design meets guideline 1 for the granting of DRAC variances in that this home is surrounded by
a mixture of single family, duplex and multi-family buildings of all type, configuration, size and
shape. One cannot convincingly argue that there is uniformity of design between any of these
structures in the neighborhood or even among the types of buildings themselves. For example, there
is no uniformity of design between' all single family residences. Some have porches, others do not.
Some have setbacks from the street; others push right up to the parking lot that is Smuggler Grove.
Zoning in this area is likewise divergent, with a mixture of high density multi family structures at the
end of the street with secluded single family residences on large treed lots at the other. Allowing
accessible space over our one story element does not detract from the pedestrian experience, does
not create unusual architecture that is incompatible with its neighbors, does not deviate from the
spirit of the Residential Design Standards, nor does it irresponsibly convey rights upon my client. If
anything, the one story element with accessible deck above sets the house back form the street,
reducing visual impact to the neighbors and pedestrians alike. It is a first step towards restoring an
already fragmented R-15 zone district back to ideas set forth by the Residential Design Standards
and the city code. It further respects its low density neighbors by offering a visual buffer between
the front yard and the two story gable of the home behind this deck.
As discussed before, our situation is unique and a small deck that frames great views toward Aspen
Mountain is certainly a small request, considering all of the obstacles we have had to overcome in
the past year to get approval from BOA, city staff, and concerned neighbors. Our building envelope
is only 38' deep along Smuggler Grove. Compare this to 65' or even 75' which is the depth of the
majority of single family residences in the city of Aspen. To require my client to honor the one story
element places a great burden on any design for this skinny strip of land. Despite this contradiction
between the code and practicality, we found a way to design one anyway. We meet guideline 2 in
that our lot is so encumbered in size, by easements, in having limited access to Smuggler Grove, and
by having such an unusual building outline (derived from the unusually long and narrow lot), that it
is only right and fair that DRAC find that we are merely asking for a small variance from what was a
staff interpretation of the Residential Design Standards.
Our proposal gives back to the community and the neighborhood, by designing a modest, attractive
home and detached garage that breal(s up the elements of the program into two sensitively sized
structures, provides off street parking, works with the goals of the neighborhood, the city of Aspen,
and the Aspen Area Community Plan to name a few. So far, this project has been unique in that it
has been a successful synergy between homeowner and community. We ask that DRAC respect the
~
good work that has gone before it, continue in the spirit of cooperation that has prevailed so far and
let this excellent project of community involvement, continue onward for building permit.

Proiect Description:
73 Smuggler Grove Road is an existing legal non-conforming duplex on a lot that is zoned in the city
of Aspen as R-15A. The lot size is 6211 s.f and has 32~9 s.f of allowable F.A.R toraslnglefarnily
residence and 3663 s,f for a duplex. The lot has three easements that run across the property,
overhanging power lines, and has an irregular non - rectangular shape. In addition to this, the lot is
located at the dead end of Smuggler Grove, with neighboring lots that nearly completely surround
the subject property. There is only a few feet of actual frontage onto Smuggler Grove from this lot.
A 16'-0" wide sewer easement running at a diagonal effectively cuts this'property in half. There is
also a 5'-0" general utility easement which runs along the east side of the property andanothei: 10'-
0" general utility easement that runs. along the north end of the property.
According to the city zoning codes, the front yard setback is 25'-0"with a,rear yard s~tbac1( ofl0'-
0" and side yard setbacks of 10' -0", The front yard setback would be from Smuggler Grove. For
accessory buildings, the front yard setback is 30' -0", side yard setback is 10'-0", and the rear yard
setback is 5' -0".
At BOA, we successfully made the argument that due to the unique configuration of this lot and the
many easements on the property, the literal interpretation and enforcement of Title 26 would have
deprived my client the rights commonly enjoyed by other parcels in the same zone district and would
have caused my client unnecessary hardship and / or practical difficulty. After strict interpretation of
the land use code, the resulting building envelope would not have allowed for a home or a garage of
practical dimensions or function.
The existing duplex -' please ref. improvement survey - is built over the sewer easement and almost
up to the sewer line itself. Furthermore, the north rear porch completely covers this easement. The
redevelopment of the site will remove these encroachments.
~.
The main problem we faced was how to access the property from Smuggler Grove road. Our
proposal placed the bulk of the residence building envelope to the south of the sewer easement with
a separate, detached garage /ADU to the north ofthe sewer easement. Since the frontage on
Smuggler Grove is the width of the street itself, our solution was to use a separate, detached garage
which is accessed by a driveway that travels along the sewer easement. This will allow easy access
to the sewer line for maintenance by the sanitation district as well as reducing the mass of the
residence by placing the garage to the rear of the property, which is a traditional residential urban
configuration. There is no alley from which to access the property, since the surrounding roads of
Mascotte and Ardmore are private.
Our BOA application was granted variances from the Title 26 dimensional requirements, These
were the following:
1. 10' -0" front yard setback for accessory building
2. 10' -0" front yard setback for principal building
3. 5' -0" side yard for principal building
Variances from the city setback standards were approved by the Board of Adjustment on September
5,2002 by a 5-0 vote (BOA resolution No. 03 series of2002) and extended for another year by BOA
on October 16, 2003. At the first hearing" the board also set the allowable FAR to 3007 s.f (down
from 3299 s,f,) and made the proposed set of drawings a part of the approval.
We are now going before DRAC to take care oftwo simple remaining issues relating to the
Residential Design Standards before we apply for a building permit at Community Development.
DRAC Issues
As detailed by the resolution under section 3, line 3, the approved plans require DRAC variances
from the Residential Design Standards section 26.410. We are seeking a couple of reasonable
variances from the amended Residential Design Standards section 26.410.040 that we will need to
accommodate our design and its response to our unique site constraiIlts. 'These are the following:
1. variance from section 26.410.040 (C)(2)(b) relating to the location of the garage on the site
plan being 10' further from the street than the front most wall of the house and,
2. variance from section 26.410.040 (D)(2) regarding the first story element facing the street
DRAC Variances
According to the newly amended Residential Design Standards, we must demonstrate to the DRAC,
and the board must find that the variance, if granted, would:
1. 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,
2. Be clearly necessaryfor reasons offairness related to unusual site specific constraints.
3.
We shall address how this standard is appropriate for both variances in which we are seeking below.
Section 26.410.040 (C)(2)(b) relating to the location of the garage on the site plan:
Given our site.;specific limitations, this garage orientation is the most appropriate configuration to
exist in harmony with the neighborhood meeting the criteria of standard 1. It eliminates the need for
on street parking entirely and allows for a sensitive, modestly sized garage that minimizes impacting
the neighboring buildings in terms of mass, height and scale. Its location is tucked away from street
view and is accessed by a long drive that travels over an existing sewer easement, an area restricted
from any building of any kind. It alleviates the eye pollution caused by more cars, parked in front of
homes as is typical in the neighborhood. The driveway w/turnaround is also a safer way to access
the street from the property. Any departing vehicle will be headed forwards and not blindly backing
up into an already congested dead end road full of people and cars as exists now.
There is ample separation (approx. 35') between the home and the garage which serves the
neighborhood well by reducing building massing. It is a common strategy in urban resid,ential
planning and is mentioned in the Residential Design Standards to have smaller, separate buildings,
rather than a single larger mass for a home. It is also a far better pedestrian experience to be able to
walk in front of a home without being confronted by the suburban banality of a two stall garage
being the primary street facing fayade.
We meet the criteria of standard 2 in that our garage configuration and orientation is clearly
necessary due to the lot's unique shape, size, access and BOA approvals. BOA has unanimously
signed off on our application that places the separate and detached garage to the north of the sewer
easement, which cuts this property in half, with garage doors that face the house. BOA granted
variances that accommodates this garage location and orientation because there is no alley from
which to access the property (refer to project description above). 73 Smuggler grove is surrounded
on all sides by private property and private drives. In fact, there are only a few precious lineal feet
of actual street frontage onto Smuggler Grove from which access this property at all. A garage is
clearly a better alternative to street parking in an already congested area full of cars from duplexes
and other multi family buildings in the neighborhood.
Section 26.410.040 (D)(2) regarding the first story element facing the street:
My client was forced to get creative and design a home that we think works rather well to overcome
seemingly insurmountable odds. A few of these include a staggered triangular, building envelope, a
16' wide sewer easement cutting the lot in two, minimal Smuggler Grove street frontage, restrictive
utility easements on three sides, neighbor concerns, and parking. Furthermore, all of these issues
needed to be solved within the confines of a long, narrow strip of land surrounded on all sides by
two 2 jurisdictions of private property and private roads. We succeeded in solving everything thanks
to the creativity and synergy between the city, volunteer board members, concerned neighbors, this
architect, and my client. This project serves as a benchmark of cooperation between all of these'
parties.
Our unanimously approved drawings from BOA included a 7' -3" upper level deck over living space.
Part of the BOA granted variance at this meeting was to describe the entire building envelope, not
only on a two dimensional site plan, but three dimensionally as well. This three dimensional
building envelope includes all external elements such as porches, deck, plate heights, roof forms and
other facets ofthe exterior elevations. We are asking DRAC not to redesign a project that has been
so successful in meeting the needs of all of these various entities. We understand that the code' states
that accessible space shall not be allowed over the first story element. However, we argue that this
has essentially been already approved through the BOA hearing variance request process. Knowing
that DRAC variances would be required for the porch and garage, BOA gave approval to our
proposal anyway and thus set a' pre-determined three dimensional envelope when it included the
architectural set of drawings as a part of the original approval and the extension of the approval. This
. project has now moved forward to DRAC as designed, without alteration.
Before the recent code amendment, the Residential Design Standards section regarding accessible
space over a one story element has not been entirely clear. Not permitting accessible space over this

Proiect DescriDtion:
73 Smuggler Grove Road is an existing legal11on-conforming duplex on a 101 that is zoned in the cily
of Aspen as R-15A. The lot size is 6211 s.fand has 3299 s,fofallowabte F,A.R tor a single family
residence and 3663 s.f for a duplex. The lot has three easements that run across the property,
overhanging power lines, aud has an irregular non - rectangular shape. In addition to thist the lot is
located at the dead end of Smuggler Grove, with neighboring lots that nearly completely surround
the suhject property. There is only a few feet of actual frontage onto Smuggler Grove from this lot.
A 16'-0" wide sewer casement nmningat a diagonal effectively cuts this property in half. There is
also a 5'-0" general utility easement which runs along the east side of the property an.d another 10'-
0" general utility easement that runs along the north end of the property.
According to the city zoning codes, the front yard setback is 2$'-0" with a rear yard setback of 1 0'-
0" and side yard setbacks of 10'-0", The front yard setback would be. from Smuggler Grove. For
accessory buildings. the front yard setback is 30'.0", side yard setback is 10'-0", and the rear yard
setback is 5'-0".
At BOA, we successfully made the argument that due to the unique configuration of this lot and the
many casements on the property, the literal interpretation and enforcement of Title 26 would have
deprived my client the rights commonly enjoyed by oth,cr parcels in the same :;r.one district and would
have caused my client unnecessary hardship and I or practical difficulty. After strict interpretation of
the land use code, the resulting building envelope would not have allowed for a home t)r a garage of
practical dimensions or function.
The existing duplex ~ please ref. improvement survey - is built over the sewer easement and almost
up to the sewer line itself, Furthermore, the north rear porch completely covers this ea~ement, The
redevelopment of the site will remov~ these encroachlT1ent<;.

The main problem we face;xl wa~ how to access t~t: property fmm Smuggler Grove ruad. Our
proposal placed the bulk ofthe residence building envelope to the south ofthe sewer casement with
a separate, detached garage / ADU t.o the north of the sewer easement. Since the frontage on
Smuggler Grove is the width of the street itself, our solution was to use a separate, detached garage
which is accessed by a driveway that travels along the sewer easement. This will allow easy access
to the sewer line for maintenance by the sanitation district as well as reducing the mass of the
residence by placing the garage to the rear of the property, which is a traditional residential urban
configuration. There is no alley from which to uccess the property, since the surrounding roads of
Mascotte and Ardmore are private.
Our BOA application was granted variances from the Title 26 dimensional requirements. These
were the tbllowing:
1. 10' -0" front yard setback fOr accessory building'
2. to' -0" fnmt yard setback for principal building
3. 5'.0" side yard tor principal building
Variances from the city setback standards were approved by the Board of Adjustment on September
5,2002 by a 5-0 vote (BOA resolution No. 03 series of2002) and extended for another year by BOA
on October 16.2003. At the first hearing. the board also set the allowable FAR to 3007 s.f(down
from 3299 s,f,) and made the proposed set of drawings a part of the approval.
We are now going before DRAC to take care of two simple remaining issues relating to the
Rcsidcutial Design StaIJdard.'i before we apply for a building permit at Community Development.
DRAe Issues
As detailed by the resolution under section 3, line 3, the approved plans require DRAC variances
ITom the Residential Design StandaTUS see lion 26.410. We are seeking a couple of reasonable
variances from the amended Residential Design Standards section 26.410.040 that we will need to
accommodate our design and its response to our unique site constraints_ These are the following:
1. variance from se<,.1:1on 26.410.040 (C)(2)(b) relating to the location of the garage on the site
plan being '10' further from the street than the ITont most wall of the house and,
2. variance trom section 26.410.040 (DX2) regarding the first story element facing the street
DRA(; Variances ,
According to~the newly amended Residential Design Standards, we must demonstrate to the DRAC,
and the board must find that the variance, if granted, would:
1. Provide air appropriate design Of" 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 critt;ria. the revitnving board may consider the relationship of the
proposed development with adjacent structul'es, the immediate neighborhood setting. or a
broade.,. vicinity cu,' the boordfeels is necessary to determine ifth~ exception is warranted or,
2. Be clearly necessary for reaso1t.~ ojfairness related to unusual site specIfic constraint.y.
3.
We shall addross how this standard is appropriate for both variances in which we. are seeking below.
SectiQ.D,J6.,,.410.040 (C)(2)(b) relating to the location of the garage on the site plan:
Given our site-specific limitations, this garage orientation is the most appropriate configuration to
exist in harmony with the neighborhood meeting the criteria ,of standard 1. It eliminates the need for
on street parking entirely and allows for a sensitive1 modestly sized garage that minimi1..es impacting
the neighboring buildings in terms of mass~ height and scale. Its location is tucked away from street
Sent By: consortium architects;
970-927-2266;

r"\
view and is accessed by a long drive that travels over an existing sewer easement, an area restricted
from any building of any kind. It alleviatesthe eye pollution caused by m()re cars, parked in front of
homes as is typical in the neighborhood. The driveway w/turnaround is also a safer way to access
the street from the property. Any departing vehicle will be headed forwards and not blindly backing
up into an already congested dead end road full of people and cars as exists now.
There is ample separation (approx. 35') between the home and the garage which serves the
neighborhood well by reducing building massing. It is a' common strategy in urban residential
planning and is mentioned in tbe Residential Design StanWtTd!i to have smaller, separate buildings,
rather than a single larger mass for a home. it is also a far better pedestrian experience to be able to
walk in front of a home without being confronted' by the suburban banality of a two stall garage
being the primary street facing fa~de.
We meet the criteria of standard 2 in that our garage contiguration and orientation is clearly
necessary due to the lot's unique shape, size, access and BOi1approvals. llOA has unanimouSly
signed oft' on our application that places the separate and detached garage to the north of the sew~r
easement, which cuts this property in half. with garage doors that face the house. HOA granted
variances that accommodates this garage location and orientation because there is no alley from
which to access the property (refer to project description above). 73 Smuggler grove is surrounded
on an sides by private property and private drives. Tn fact, there are (,lll.ly a few precious lineal feet
of Ilctual strect, frontage onto SmqggJer Grove from which access this property at all. A garage is
clearly a better alternative to street parking j,n an a.lready congested area filiI of cars from duplexes
and other multi family buildings in the neighborhood.
Section 2Q,4JQ,Q4Q (Dl(2) regarding the first story clement tacing the street:
My client was forced to get creative and design a home that we think works rather well to overcome
seemingly insurmountable odds. A few of these include a staggered triaIlgular, building envelope~ a
16' wide sewer easement cuttirxg the lot in two, minimal Smuggler Grove street frontage, restrictive
utility easements on three sides, neighbor concerns, and parking. Furthennore, all of thelOe issues
needed to be solved within the confines of a long, narrow strip of land surrounded on all sides by
two 2 jurisdictions of private property and private roads. We succeeded in solvingeveI}'thing thanks
to the creativity and synerey between the city. volunteerb{)~ members, concerned neighbors. this
architect, and my client. This project serves as a benchmark of cooperation between all of these
parties.
Our unanimously approved drawings from BOA included a 7~ -3" upper level deck over living space.
Part of the BOA granted variance at this meeting was to describe the entire ,building envelope, not
only on a two dimensional site plan, but three dimensionally as well.. 'Ibis tl1ree .dimensional
building envelope includes all external elements such as porches. deck, plate heights, roof fonnsand
other facets of the exterior elevations_ We aJ'e a,~king DRA C not to redesign a project that has been
so successful in meeting the needs of all ofthese,variol1sclltities. We undcrsta11dthat the code states
that accessible space shall not be allowt:d over the first $t()ry element. However. we argue that this
has essentially been already approved through the BOA hearing variance request process. Knowing
that DRAC variances would be required for the porch and garage, BOA gave approvlll to our
pmposal anyway l:Uld tllus set a pre-detellllined three. dimensional envelope when it included the
an:hitectural set of drawings as a part of the qriginal approval and the extension of the approval. This
project has now moved forward to DRAC as designe~ without alteration.
Before the recent code amendment, the Residential Design Standards section regarding accessible
space over a one story element has not been cmtirely clear. Not pennitting accessible space over this
Sent By: consortium architects;
970-927-2266;
Dec-11,A 3:35PM;
Page 5/11
one story element has been largely a staff interpretation. We respectfully disagree with this past
ruling that an uncovered open deck over this space would hav~ <tny other visual interpretation from
the street than a one story element. If we are forced to make this area inaccessible, we would replace
the deck railing with a gabled roof. that we feel would ;have far more visual impact that that of an
o!,<,n 36" tall guardrail. We further argue that should DMC grant a variance tor this small request
lhat this would NOT serve as a precedent anowing all others after us, to get the same variance. As
stated above, our project faces a multitude of builc#ng restrictions and "site specific. unique
circumstances that bring us before you with this appticat~on; a c()mbination of which is very unlikely
tQ ever occur again.
As far as the remainder or requirements f()r a one story element, this deck meets all of the other
Residential Design Standard guidelines. Our 7'-3" deep:deck exceeds the 6' minimum depth, is 17'
wide and thus more than 20% of the building's overall street facing width, and has a plate height of
less than 10'.
Our design meets guideline I for the granting ofDRAC yarianccs in that this home is surrowldc::d by
a mixture of single family, duplex and multi-family bqildings of aJ I type, configuration, size and
shape. One cannot convincingly argue that there is linifonnity of design between any of these
structures in the neighborhood OT even among the types of buildings themselve$. . For example. there
is no uniformity of design between all single family residtmces. Some have porches. othersdo not
Some have setbacks from the' street; others push right uP to the parking lot that is Smuggler Grove.
Zoning in this area is likewise divergent. with a mixture of high density multi family structures at the
end of the street with secluded single family residenoeS: on large treed lots at the other. Allowing
accessible space over our one story element does not d~act from the pedestrian experience, docs
not create unusual archite~ture that is inO()mpatible with its neighbors, does not deviate from the
spirit of the Residential Design Standards, nor does itin-esponsibly convey rights upon my client. If
anything, the one story element with accessible deck ~bove ~ls the house back fonn the street,
reducing visual impact to the neighbors and pedestrians:: alike. It is a first step towards restoring an
already fragmentcd R- t 5 zone district back: tQ idcEis s~ fQ.I1h by the Residential Dcsign Standards
and the city code. It further respects its low density neighbors by offering a visual buffer between
the front yard and the two story gable of the home behind this deck.
As discussed before, our situation is unique and a small deck that frames great views toward Aspen
Mountain 1s certainly a small request. considering all of the obstacles we have had to overcome in
the past year to get approvallrom BOA, city statt~ and concerned neighbors. Our building envelope
is only 38' deep along S~uggler Grove. Compare this to 65t or even 7S' which is the depth of the
majority of single family residences in the city of Aspen..' 'fo require my olient to honor the one story
element places a great burden on any design for this skinny strip of land. Despite this contradiction
between the code and pt"clcticality. we found a way to design one anyway. We meet guideline 2 in
that our lot is so encumbered in size, by easements, in having limited access to Smuggler Grove, and
by having such an unusual building outline (derivedfrom the unusually long and narrow lot), that it
is only right and fair that DRAC fmd that we are merely asking for a small variance from what was a
statl' interpretation of the Residential Design Standards. '
Our proposal gives back to the community and lhe ntlighborhood, by dt:l:ligIlh~g a modest, attractive
home and detached, garage that breaks up the elements: of the program into two sensitively sized
stnlctures, provides off st~t parking, wMks with the goals of the neighborhood. the city of Aspen,
and the Aspen Area Community Plan to name a few; Sp far, this project has been unique in that it
has been a successful synergy between home<.lwner and e{)IIlIIlUI)ily. We ask that DRAC respect the
