Derrington stated there wasno style or pattern and very little in compliance with 8 ASPEN PLANNING & ~NINGCOMMISSION Mina JUNE 15~ 2004 <'-"":"/"~}-<)""~""'-',\,"","; ; >-'" . /~, -;;<>.,. ._~::~:::;::,-":.'_,:;'::;i';:;,,,;,}:~:;:jJ.

Derrington said they don't feel there is any precedence set by that in a contextual manner or sense that would require this house to retroactively comply with the residential design standards enacted some years later after it was built. The house (from the photograph) shows five to six large mature evergreens that were screening the house from the street, which makes the reason for having some sort of a span between nine (eet i311q twelYe lee! on the glass window fac;ade facing south toward the street is really irrelevant and not visible.

Derrington said they agreed with standard #2 there wen:': no site specific copstraints onthJs parcel; the proposed addition was on tbe~lley side have been supported by the neighbor across the alley who would be most impacted by that addition of the studio above the garage and was contextu.alwithintheqesign of the original house itself.

Derrington saidthis building was grandfatheredand exempted from the requirement of the volume stand(irqip !heresi(lenJi9-L<:l~~ign standards. Oates stated that the cOIl1lJlissionshOlJ.ld'U:rlgers!ill!Qtg~t~Yerything is existing with the exception on page l3'the addition'on top of the garage is what was requested and they were not asking for a variance for that; they were askil1gfor a variance from the volume penalty to capture that square footage to be able to do that addition. Joyce Allgaier stated that they were seeking exemption from the windows that already exist so that they can gain additional floor area to m(ike...tl1at addition. Oates said they would not be entitled to apyadditional floor area above and beyond anyone else in the neighborhood, just what they are entitled to based upon the design of their building. Derrington said the penalty is applied when they go through zoning review then they don't have the FAR to do the addition over the garage; if they were exempted from that standard because the house was built before the, st(ipgard was enacted that would allow them to have the additional two hJJJ).dreQsquare feet that would be slightly under the FAR with th(itpenalty being exempted. Tygre asked if this wouldn't be more appropriately regarded to the Board of Adjustment. Oates replied no because it was not adimensioP(il requirement; they were entitled to any square footage that any 6,000 square foot lot was entitled to but they are taking a penalty because of the residential design standards. Allgaier added that when someone. GQIIlesinwithCl,.p~:w proposal to make an addition in the floor area it is measure based upon the regulations that are in place today as well as 9 .~ r ~~.~.. ,. . ""---"'p, ASPEN PLANNING~_ ZONING COMMISSION M,,_~dtes-JUNE 15~ 2()()4 height so if those things change over time people are held to using the code that's in place at the time of building permit. No public comments. Roger Haneman said he was fascinated that there was no concern for the reduction of the theoretical se'condary mass and he was surprised the residential design standards did not simply apply to all structures. Oates said the standard for secondary mass was for all new structures. Haneman said that the fact that residential design standards applies to all structure not just new structures was surprising; he asked if that was the intent when it was passed. Oates replied yes, even if the building was built 50 years ago the garage aspect has to comply with the residential design standards. Haneman said they weren't in compliance now and they are increasing the non-compliance and that's not an issue but based upon how the front of the house looks because it was designed that way when the house was built and if they had anticipated adding on 10 years they wouldn't be able to. Oates noted if they had the square footage she could give them a building permit because secondary mass applies to all new structures. Haneman said that the design standards should apply to all structures or not. Allgaier said the pre- existing condition dictates floor area today and that was the issue because when floor area is calculated it is based on the regulations in place today. Allgaier said by having those tall windows they are taking a cut of floor area. Skadron asked the reasoning that these windows count as two times the floor area ratio. Allgaier replied some of the photographs illustrate some of the reasons why those residential design standards were put in place; the West End was loosing its sense of pedestrian scale with monolithic planes of front walls on the street and the sidewalk that had cathedral ceilings inside. From the outside the very tall arching windows were reading as something that did not add to that streetscape, that pedestrian feel; the feeling was knocking out that area between 9 and 12 feet, which would be where the second floor would actually sit it wouldn't feel like such a monolithic plane because of the break. Dylan Johns said that he couldn't find any reason to go against the staff findings; he didn't think this was a very large problem overall for the project itself and there was an easy remedy for it: come into compliance with the design review standards. John Rowland asked if there has been a grandfather clause precedence ever set. Allgaier replied this was a consistent way staff uses the land use code today when someone comes in for a new development. Hoefer stated the land use code would almost be meaningless if everything were grandfathered in. Hoefer said from a 10 ASPEN PLANNING & ~NING COMMISSION Min~ JUNE 15,2004 constitutional perspective the U.S. Supreme Court has recognized the right of a Municipality to zone. Derrington said one point regarding that standard #1, in evaluating the context as it is used in the criteria, the board may consider the relationship of the proposed development with the adjacent structure, the immediate neighborhood setting, or a broader vicinity, as he mentioned earlier there is no contextual precedent set by this block; it was an eclectic group of buildings and this house has been there for 15 years and they were not changing the streetscape. .Derrington. said the design review standards addressed the streetscape and this was well screened by mature evergreen trees, which makes it virtually impossible to see the front of the house except from one certain vantage point directly in front of the entrance. Derrington stated whether or not there would be a possibility if they chose to, do so of tearing down the existing fayade and building a new fayade, which seems rather erroneous in order "to get the FAR that they should be allowed by the zoning at the time they built the house. Derrington said sticking something on the front of the building to cover the 9 to 12 foot span, like a girdle, would make little sense but it could be done but what would be the point and how would that add to the experience and ambiance of the neighborhood. Tygre stated item #1 of the criteria was of more concern than item #2; or members of the commission may find that #2 is relevant but these were the standards by which the commission has to evaluate every application and it was up to the individual commissioner to make a finding that this application either does or does not fulfill these standards. MOTION: Ruth Kruger moved to approve Resolution #23, series 2004 granting a variance from Section 26.410.040(D)(3)(a), relating to the window location on the front fac;ade of the house finding that the review elements of criterion #1 and in Section 26.410.020(C) have been metfor 310 West Bleeker Street. Seconded by Roger Haneman. Roll call vote: Johnson, no; Johns, no; Haneman, yes; Skadron, no; Kruger, no; Rowland, no; Tygre, no. DENIED 6-1. Discussion: Johnson said that this house and design were great examples of why the standards were put into place originally and seems irrational to grant a variance to a structure that exemplifies exactly what the standards were written for. The commissioners gave their board reports. ], ckie Lothian, Deputy City Clerk 11 o "tr. -:p, MEMORANDUM THRU: Aspen Planning & Zoning Commission ~ Joyce Allgaier, Deputy Planning Director Sarah Oates, Zoning Officer 5e> TO: FROM: DATE: June 15,2004 RE: Residential Design Standard Variances for 31 0 West Bleeker Street SUMMARY: The subject property is a 6,000 square fo()tl()t in the M()clerate~t>ensity Residential (R-6) zone district. Currently, there is an existing single-family residence on the lot which was built in 1988. The applicant is proposing an addition to the existing house on the alley side. The applicant requests a variance from the Residential Design Standards related to the volume penalty for windows that span between nine (9) and twelve (12) feet above the first finished floor on street facing facades. Windows with an exterior expression of plate height higher than ten (10) feet are subject to a 2:1 floor area penalty. That is, the room behind the window cOllnts 40uble the ,floor area. ()fthea.~1:l1al space (i.e. a 200 square foot room counts 400 square feet towards floor area). The penalty can be eliminated by a variance granted by the P&Z and a finding that one of the two Residential Design Standards variance criteria has been met. APPLICANT: J. Ronald and Phyllis M Blevins represented by Charles Cunniffe Architects. The application is included as Exhibit A. LOCATION: 310 W. Bleeker Street, Block 43, Lots P&Z of the City of Aspen Townsite. ZONING: Moderate-Density Residential (R -6). SITE DESCRIPTION: The proposed project is a variance from.the Residential Design Standards to eliminate the floor a.rea penalty and an addition to an existing single-family home on a 6,000 square foot R-6 lot located in the original townsite. The proposed addition is approximately 400 square feet to be located above the garage on the rear of the lot. The applicant has included elevations and floor plans of the proposed addition. REVIEW STANDARDS AND STAFF EVALUATION: Pursuant to Section 26.222, in order to authorize a variance from the Resid.~lltial pe,sign Standards, the Planning and Zoning Commission shall make,a.fin4ing that Standard 1 or Standard 2 is met. t"" In response to the review criteria for DRAC variance(s), staff makes the following findings: 1. Review Criteria: 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 house is located in the R-6 zone district on two original townsite lots. As shown in the photograph presented by the applicant, the houses on the same side ofthe block as 310 W. Bleeker are newer. Across the street there is one histQric house, a house currently under construction as part of a historic landmark lot split and several 1960s era buildings. The Residential Design Standards are most relevant to this area of town and the st~ndard regarding the "no window zone" was developed to address residences such as 310 W. Bleeker. Staff has not identified any unifying contextual theme or characteristic that would set the stage for the design standard variance. 2. Standard: Be clearly necessary for reasons of fairness related to unusual site-specific constraints. Response: parcel. There are no unusual site-specific constraints on this STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Residential Design Standard variance request to allow windows to span from nine (9) to twelve (12) feet . above the first finished floor of the street facing fac;ade be denied. RECOMMENDED MOTION (all motions in the affirmative): "I move to approve Resolution No.~ Series of2004 granting a variance from Section 26.410.040(D~(a), relating to window location on' the front fac;ade of the house finding thatthe review.:s . standards in Section 26.4l0.020(C) have been met for 310 W.

Our house is also contemporary in design and as such has taller wiIldows on the south side facing the view of Aspen Mountain. Although our house is not historic~ its current design is over 20 years old. As we all know, there are many contemporary designs through out the West End. From Herbert Byer to Harry Teague, these houses often feature larger southerly windows to capture the view. Windows of this height provide solar gain and can be energy efficient. We do not feel they are out of character for the neighborhood and are particularly in character on our block of the West End. In addition~ the above property was built in 1989 and I believe that this was before any penalty for glazing was a part of the land use code. It would seem that this is justification for "grandfathering" this property with regards to glazing. I would also mention that the glazing is not visible from Bleeker Street~ as larger trees provide privacy and shelter the house year around. As neighbors~ we have reviewed how the additional FAR would be used for afI'art studio on the north side of the house. Although this may someday frppact a potential expansion of our property, we feel the owners have every right to develop their property as they see fit.

Bleeker Street Aspen, CO 81611 Ladies and Gentlemen: The existing residence, built in 1988, has a two-story glass facade in their living room facing south toward. Bleeker Street. The Aspen Residential Design Standards, enacted in August 1999, provides that interior spaces that have fac;ade penetrations (windows) between 9 feet and 12 feet above ground floor level must be counted as twice the floor area for FAR purposes. This results in a penalty of about 496 sq. ft. and puts this residence over the allowable FAR of 3,240 sq. ft. by about 96 sq. ft. thus laving no available area for expansion. Without this penalty, the existing FAR would be about 2, 819 sq. ft., which would allow about 421 sq. ft. to be added to the residence. The Applicant wishes to add .an artist's studio above the garage to the rear (north) end of the property, facing the alley. In order to make this feasible, we respectfully request that a variance be granted by the Planning and Zoning Coml1lissioh to. exempt this residence from the Windows definition in the Residential Design Standards; Section 26.58.040.d.3.a, and the Volume definition for Floor Area Calculations: Section 26.575.020.A.5 of the Aspen Land Use Code. In addition to the fact that this residence was built about eleven (11) years before this code language was adopted, it is well screened from the street by a mature stand of evergreen trees, making the living room windows very difficult to see without close inspection. The proposed addition will not be visible fror;n" the street and will be well within the required height and setback requirements for the R-6 Zone. 610 EAST HYMAN AVE ASPEN ASPEN, CO 81611 970:915.5590 fax: 970.925.5076 [nfo(giCunniffe:com · STEAMBOAT · TELLURIDE · 8 l () F'2- www.Cunnfffe:Com VAIL May 3, 2'004 Planning and Zoning Commissloh - City of Aspen Page 2 You will find photos enclosed of the streetscape and afley facades as wefl as a conceptual sketch of the proposed studio, in addition to the documentation required in the Pre-Application Conference Summary.
