Staff recommended that Council not approve an extension of vested rights for this property, finding that the applicant has not shown clear reason why an extension is necessary and that new land use regulations have been adopted during the intervening period of time, particularly Ordinance #30, Series of 1995, with which future development on this site should be in compliance. At the time, the applicant was in the HPC review process for an amendment to the design protected by the vested rights. They did not wish to forfeit the vested rights for the original project, since they did not have assurance that HPC would approve the amendment. Council tabled action to October 14, 1997 to allow the applicant sufficient time to complete the HPC review. HPC has granted final review approval for the amended development plan at the Trustee Townhouses. The new proposal is almost 500 square feet smaller per unit that was originally proposed and preserves the character and integrity of the buildings. The applicant has agreed to withdraw their request to extend vested rights. EXHIBITS: A.

Amy Amidon, Historic Preservation Officer ASPEN I PITKIN COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT THRU: RE: Aspen Meadows Lot 5 Vested Rights Extension Request, First Reading of Ordinance # ~ Series of 1997 DATE: July 14, 1997 SUMMARY: The Aspen Institute and the Trustee Townhomes At-The-Aspen-Meadows Condominium Association, as owners of the units on Lot 5 have requested an additional six month extension to the vested rights granted for the development on Lot 5 of the Aspen Meadows Specially Planned Area. This request would extend the vested rights to December 19, 1997. The application, including Ordinance #4, Series of 1997, which provided an extension to June 19, 1997 are attached as exhibits. Staff recommends that Council not approve an extension of vested rights for this property, finding that the applicant has not shown clear reason why an extension is necessary and that new land use regulations have been adopted during the intervening period of time, particularly Ordinance #30, Series of 1995, with which future development on this site should be in compliance. Ordinance #30 would affect future development on the site in terms of design standards and a reduction of allowable floor area. APPLICANT: The Aspen Institute and the Trustee Townhomes At-The-Aspen Meadows Condominium Association, represented by Rhonda Bazil. BACKGROUND: Council approved the 1990 GMQS allocation for 3 new townhomes on Lot 5 as part of the Aspen Meadows Specially Planned area development, which received final approval in early 1991. The GMQS allocations were due to expire on June 21, 1994. In April 1994, Savanah requested a six month extension on the GMQS and vested rights for Lots 5 and 6, which Council granted. The applicants have since requested and been granted extensions every six months, with the most recent extension set to expire on June 19, 1997, These extensions were granted based on factors which delayed construction of the approved project. Lot 5 was included with Lot 6 in a Notice Exhibit A ,._, , of Lis Pendens by Mohammed A. Hadid in connection with a lawsuit filed by him against principals of Savanah Limited Partnership in April of 1995. While the Lis Pendens was in effect, Savanah was prohibited from selling, developing, or financing either Lots 5 or 6. On November 15, 1995, the trial court ordered the Lis Pendens removed. Mr. Hadid subsequently filed an appeal to the court's order as it affects Lot 6, but released Lot 5 from the litigation so the Institute could proceed with its purchase. In February of 1996, the Aspen Institute purchased Lot 5 from Savanah Limited Partnership, and thereafter recorded a Condominium Plat creating The Trustee Townhomes At-The- Aspen Meadows. Since that time the applicant has received numerous approvals from the Historic Preservation Commission for minor changes to the existing units, received final approval for and began construction of three new townhomes, and has received conceptual approval for a 256 square foot addition to the existing units, which is one third the size of the expansion approval addressed by the vested rights. On June 18, 1997, the applicant (now the Aspen Institute and Trustee Townhomes At- The-Aspen Meadows Condominium Association) submitted a request for another extension. City policy has been that if an application for an extension is received before the expiration date of the vested rights, City Council will consider the request as timely filed even though the matter is scheduled for Council consideration after the expiration date. STAFF COMMENTS: Section 26.100.100 of the Aspen Municipal Code states that a development allotment and all other development approvals shall expire on the day after the third anniversary of the latest date of project approval, unless a building permit is obtained and project is developed, or unless an exemption from or extension of the approval is obtained. For developments other than a subdivision, an application for extension shall be submitted prior to the third anniversary of the date of approval of a site specific development plan which shall demonstrate to the satisfaction of city council that: (a) Those conditions applied to the project at the time of its final approval which were to have been met as of the date of application for exemption have been complied with; and RESPONSE: All conditions of approval associated with the SPA agreement and subsequent extensions have been completed, with the exception of the removal of aspen trees planted within the trail easement and the addition of 15-20 more trees along Meadows Road. Ordinance #4, Series of 1997 extended the deadline for this condition until October 15, 1997 as the best time to plant or relocate trees is in late fall for the greatest chance of survival. (b) Any improvements which were required to be installed by the applicant prior to construction of the project have been installed; RESPONSE: All the improvements which were required under the SPA Agreement have been completed. The applicant shall be required to mitigate any construction damage to Aspen Meadows Road and a I "to 1.5" overlay is required when the construction on Lots 5 and 6 is complete. (c) The project has been diligently pursued in all reasonable respects, and the extension is in the best interest of the community. RESPONSE: Staff notes that this is the seventh extension requested by the applicant. It was recommended in February 1996 that no further extensions be granted for reasons beyond unforeseeable legal circumstances specific to the Lis Pendens. The delay caused by the inability of the Institute to purchase the lot prior to removal of the Lis Pendens precluded the development of the units during the spring 1996 off-season as anticipated. Staff finds that no further extension should be granted. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that a six (6) month extension of the vested rights for Lot 5 of the Aspen Meadows Specially Planned Area be denied.

Street Address and Legal Description: Condominium Units 2 though 9, the Trustee Townhomes at the Aspen Meadows, a Condominium according to the Condominium Plat thereof recorded in Book 39 and Page 16 and as described in the Condominium Declaration for the Trustee Townhomes at-the-Aspen Meadows recorded on February 6, 1996 as Reception No. 389723. 21-91 Meadows Trustee. IV. Present zoning: RMF-SPA. V. Lot Size: 2.953 acres. VI. Existing Approvals: The eight existing Trustee Townhomes are located on Lot 5 of The Aspen Meadows Subdivision and consist of approximately 1,750 square feet each. Each Unit originally had three bedrooms and two baths. The Townhomes were originally designed by Herbert Bayer and are listed on the City of Aspen's historic inventory. The Specially Planned Area Development and Subdivision Agreement for The Aspen Meadows provides for an expansion and renovation of the existing Townhomes to create eight three- bedroom units of 2,500 square feet of FAR each. The relevant portion of the SPA Agreement is attached hereto. The owner of Units 1, 10 and 11 previously received approval to relocate the unit boundaries and to revise the SPA approvals. 2 ,,"'" VII. Request for Extension of Vested Rights: The vested rights on this project have been extended through June 19, 1997 by Ordinance 4, Series of 1997. The Applicants request an additional six month extension to allow them to pursue a modificationof the expansion approvals. An application for an Insubstantial Amendment to Specially Planned Area and Historic Preservation Commission Significant Development Review was filed by the Institute and the Association on June 2, 1997. That application seeks the modification of the expansion approvals in the SPA Agreement to allow for the enclosure of a portion of the terrace. By enclosing a portion of the terrace, the Units will increase in size from 1,750 existing square feet to 2,006.5 square feet. The remainder of the approved expansion would not be const;ructed by the Unit owners. This would result in a net reduction of 493.5 square feet for each Unit from the SPA approvals. Under the provisions of the Municipal Code of the City of Aspen, Section 26.1 00.lOO(A)(2), developments are eligible for extension of vested rights. To obtain an extension, an application shall be submitted prior to the approval deadline which shall demonstrate to the satisfaction of City Council that the following three conditions have been met: (a) Those conditions applied to the project at the time of its final approval that were to have been met as of the date of application for exemption have been complied with. To the best of the Applicants' knowledge, they have complied with all of the conditions imposed on the project under the SPA Agreement. (b) Any improvements that were required to be installed by the applicant prior to construction of the project have been installed. To the best of the Applicants' knowledge, all of the required improvements have been installed. (c) The project has been diligently pursued in all reasonable respects, and the extension is in the best interests ofthe community. This project has been owned by several parties since the expansion approvals were obtained. The current owners of Units 2-9 purchased their Townhomes in February of 1996. Since that time, the owners applied for and obtained a minor development amendment to the SPA approved expansion plans and are currently seeking a second amendment to the plans. Besides reworking the expansion approvals to more accurately reflect the current owners needs, they have been concentrating on upgrading their infrastructure during the last year by installing a new sewer line. This work clearly evidences an intent to diligently pursue the project. 3 ....... , In summary, The Institute and the Association request an extension of the vested rights for the Trustee Townhomes for a six month period ending on December 19, 1997.

This request would extend the vested rights to December 19, 1997. The application, including Ordinance #4, Series of 1997, which provided an extension to June 19, 1997 are attached as exhibits. Staff recommends that Council not approve an extension of vested rights for this property, finding that the applicant has not shown clear reason why an extension is necessary and that new land use regulations have been adopted during the intervening period of time, particularly Ordinance #30, Series of 1995, with which future development on this site should be in compliance. Ordinance #30 would affect future development on the site in terms of design standards and a reduction of allowable floor area. APPLICANT: The Aspen Institute and the Trustee Townhomes At-The-Aspen Meadows Condominium Association, represented by Rhonda Bazil. BACKGROUND: Council approved the 1990 GMQS allocation for 3 new townhomes on Lot 5 as part of the Aspen Meadows Specially Planned area development, which received fInal approval in early 1991. The GMQS allocations were due to expire on June 21, 1994. In April 1994, Savanah requested a six month extension on the GMQS and vested rights for Lots 5 and 6, which Council granted. The applicants have since requested and been granted extensions every six months, with the most recent extension set to expire on June 19, 1997. These extensions were granted based on factors which delayed construction of the approved project. Lot 5 was included with Lot 6 in a Notice Exhibit A c :) of Lis Pendens by Mohammed A. Hadid in connection with a lawsuit filed by him against principals of Savanah Limited Partnership in April of 1995. While the Lis Pendens was in effect, Savanah was prohibited from selling, developing, or financing either Lots 5 or 6. On November 15, 1995, the trial court ordered the Lis Pendens removed. Mr. Hadid subsequently filed an appeal to the court's order as it affects Lot 6, but released Lot 5 from the litigation so the Institute could proceed with its purchase. In February of 1996, the Aspen Institute purchased Lot 5 from Savanah Limited Partnership, and thereafter recorded a Condominium Plat creating The Trustee Townhomes At-The- Aspen Meadows. Since that time the applicant has received numerous approvals from the Historic Preservation Commission for minor changes to the existing units, received final approval for and began construction of three new townhomes, and has received conceptual approval for a 256 square foot addition to the existing units, which is one third the size of the expansion approval addressed by the vested rights. On June 18, 1997, the applicant (now the Aspen Institute and Trustee Townhomes At- The-Aspen Meadows Condominium Association) submitted a request for another extension. City policy has been that if an application for an extension is received before the expiration date of the vested rights, City Council will consider the request as timely filed even though the matter is scheduled for Council consideration after the expiration date. STAFF COMMENTS: Section 26.100.100 of the Aspen Municipal Code states that a development allotment and all other development approvals shall expire on the day after the third anniversary of the latest date of project approval, unless a building permit is obtained and project is developed, or unless an exemption from or extension of the approval is obtained. For developments other than a subdivision, an application for extension shall be submitted prior to the third anniversary of the date of approval of a site specific development plan which shall demonstrate to the satisfaction of city council that: (a) Those conditions applied to the project at the time of its final approval which were to have been met as of the date of application for exemption have been complied with; and RESPONSE: All conditions of approval associated with the SPA agreement and subsequent extensions have been completed, with the exception of the removal of aspen trees planted within the trail easement and the addition of 15-20 more trees along Meadows Road. Ordinance #4, Series of 1997 extended the deadline for this condition until October 15, 1997 as the best time to plant or relocate trees is in late fall for the greatest chance of survival. (b) Any improvements which were required to be installed by the applicant prior to construction of the project have been installed; ,." "'''"" ,"",- RESPONSE: All the improvements which were required under the SPA Agreement have been completed. The applicant shall be required to mitigate any construction damage to Aspen Meadows Road and a 1"toI.5" overlay is required when the construction on Lots 5 and 6 is complete. (c) The project has been diligently pursued in all reasonable respects. and the extension is in the best interest of the community. RESPONSE: Staff notes that this is the seventh extension requested by the applicant. It was recommended in February 1996 that no further extensions be granted for reasons beyond unforeseeable legal circumstances specific to the Lis Pendens. The delay caused by the inability of the Institute to purchase the lot prior to removal of the Lis Pendens precluded the development of the units during the spring 1996 off-season as anticipated. Stafffmds that no further extension should be granted. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that a six (6) month extension of the vested rights for Lot 5 of the Aspen Meadows Specially Planned Area be denied. RECOMMENDED MOTION: on Second Reading."

Street Address and Legal Description: Condominium Units 2 though 9, the Trustee Townhomes at the Aspen Meadows, a Condominium according to the Condominium Plat thereof recorded in Book 39 and Page 16 and as described in the Condominium Declaration for the Trustee Townhomes at-the-Aspen Meadows recorded on February 6,1996 as Reception No. 389723. 21-91 Meadows Trustee. IV. Present zoning: RMF-SPA. v. Lot Size: 2.953 acres. VI. Existing Approvals: The eight existing Trustee Townhomes are located on Lot 5 of The Aspen Meadows Subdivision and consist of approximately 1,750 square feet each. Each Unit originally had three bedrooms and two baths. The Townhomes were originally designed by Herbert Bayer and are listed on the City of Aspen's historic inventory. The Specially Planned Area Development and Subdivision Agreement for The Aspen Meadows provides for an expansion and renovation of the existing Townhomes to create eight three- bedroom units of 2,500 square feet of FAR each. The relevant portion of the SPA Agreement is attached hereto. The owner of Units I, 10 and II previously received approval to relocate the unit boundaries and to revise the SPA approvals. 2 "..... "-' ...'.... " VII. Request for Extension of Vested Rights: The vested rights on this project have been extended through June 19, 1997 by Ordinance 4, Series of 1997. The Applicants request an additional six month extension to allow them to pursue a modificationof the expansion approvals. An application for an Insubstantial Amendment to Specially Planned Area and Historic Preservation Commission Significant Development Review was filed by the Institute and the Association on June 2, 1997, That application seeks the modification of the expansion approvals in the SPA Agreement to allow for the enclosure of a portion of the terrace. By enclosing a portion of the terrace, the Units will increase in size from 1,750 existing square feet to 2,006.5 square feet. The remainder of the approved expansion would not be constructed by the Unit owners. This would result in a net reduction of 493.5 square feet for each Unit from the SPA approvals. Under the provisions of the Municipal Code of the City of Aspen, Section 26. 1 00.1 00(A)(2), developments are eligible for extension of vested rights. To obtain an extension, an application shall be submitted prior to the approval deadline which shall demonstrate to the satisfaction of City Council that the following three conditions have been met: (a) Those conditions applied to the project at the time of its final approval that were to have been met as of the date of application for exemption have been complied with. To the best of the Applicants' knowledge, they have complied with all of the conditions imposed on the project under the SPA Agreement. (b) Any improvements that were required to be installed by the applicant prior to construction of the project have been installed. To the best of the Applicants' knowledge, all of the required improvements have been installed. (c) The project has been diligently pursued in all reasonable respects, and the extension is in the best interests of the community. This project has been owned by several parties since the expansion approvals were obtained. The current owners of Units 2-9 purchased their Townhomes in February of 1996. Since that time, the owners applied for and obtained a minor development amendment to the SPA approved expansion plans and are currently seeking a second amendment to the plans. Besides reworking the expansion approvals to more accurately reflect the current owners needs, they have been concentrating on upgrading their infrastructure during the last year by installing a new sewer line. This work clearly evidences an intent to diligently pursue the project. 3 c ....... ,'" In summary, The Institute and the Association request an extension of the vested rights for the Trustee Townhomes for a six month period ending on December 19,1997.

Street Address and Legal Description: Condominium Units 2 though 9, the Trustee Townhomes at the Aspen Meadows, a Condominium according to the Condominium Plat thereof recorded in Book 39 and Page 16 and as described in the Condominium Declaration for the Trustee Townhomes at-the-Aspen Meadows recorded on February 6, 1996 as Reception No. 389723, 21-91 Meadows Trustee. IV. Present zoning: RMF-SPA. V. Lot Size: 2.953 acres, VI. Existing Approvals: The eight existing Trustee Townhomes are located on Lot 5 of The Aspen Meadows Subdivision and consist of approximately 1,750 square feet each. Each Unit originally had three bedrooms and two baths, The Townhomes were originally designed by Herbert Bayer and are listed on the City of Aspen's historic inventory. The Specially Planned Area Development and Subdivision Agreement for The Aspen Meadows provides for an expansion and renovation of the existing Townhomes to create eight three- bedroom units of2,500 square feet of FAR each. The relevant portion of the SPA Agreement is attached hereto. The owner of Units 1, 10 and II previously received approval to relocate the unit boundaries and to revise the SPA approvals. 2 ,.... , ,/ :) VII. Request for Extension of Vested Rights: The vested rights on this project have been extended through June 19, 1997 by Ordinance 4, Series of 1997. The Applicants request an additional six month extension to allow them to pursue a modificationof the expansion approvals. An application for an Insubstantial Amendment to Specially Planned Area and Historic Preservation Commission Significant Development Review was filed by the Institute and the Association on June 2, 1997, That application seeks the modification of the expansion approvals in the SPA Agreement to allow for the enclosure of a portion of the terrace. By enclosing a portion of the terrace, the Units will increase in size from 1,750 existing square feet to 2,006,5 square feet. The remainder of the approved expansion would not be constructed by the Unit owners. This would result in a net reduction of 493.5 square feet for each Unit from the SPA approvals. Under the provisions of the Municipal Code of the City of Aspen, Section 26.100.100(A)(2), developments are eligible for extension of vested rights, To obtain an extension, an application shall be submitted prior to the approval deadline which shall demonstrate to the satisfaction of City Council that the following three conditions have been met: (a) Those conditions applied to the project at the time of its final approval that were to have been met as ofthe date of application for exemption have been complied with. To the best of the Applicants' knowledge, they have complied with all of the conditions imposed on the project under the SPA Agreement. (b) Any improvements that were required to be installed by the applicant prior to construction of the project have been installed. To the best of the Applicants' knowledge, all of the required improvements have been installed. (c) The project has bcen diligently pursued in all reasonable respects, and the extension is in the best interests of the community. This project has been owned by several parties since the expansion approvals were obtained. The current owners of Units 2-9 purchased their Townhomes in February of 1996. Since that time, the owners applied for and obtained a minor development amendment to the SPA approved expansion plans and are currently seeking a second amendment to the plans, Besides reworking the expansion approvals to more accurately reflect the current owners needs, they have been concentrating on upgrading their infrastructure during the last year by installing a new sewer line. This work clearly evidences an intent to diligently pursue the project. 3 - 1... / :) In summary, The Institute and the Association request an extension of the vested rights for the Trustee Townhomes for a six month period ending on December 19,1997. , VIII.
