RE:
Aspen Meadows Lot 6 Residential GMQS and Vested Rights Extension
Request, Second Reading of Ordinance #5, Series of 1997
DATE:
February 10, 1997
SUMMARY: Savanah Limited Partnership, as owners of the units on Lot 6 have
requested an additional six month extension to their 1990 GMQS allotment for seven new
multi-family units and to the vested rights granted for the development on Lot 6 of the
Aspen Meadows Specially Planned Area.
This request would extend the allocation and vested rights to June 19, 1997. The
application, including Ordinance #27, Series of 1996, which provided an extension to
December 19, 1996 is attached as Exhibit A.
Staff recommends approval of a six (6) month extension of the GMQS allocation and the
extension of vested rights status with conditions. Conditions #3, 4, and 5 have been
added subsequent to First Reading and reflect the input of the City Engineering
Department.
APPLICANT:
Savanah Limited Partnership, represented byJoe Wells.
BACKGROUND: Council approved the 1990 GMQS allocation for 7 new
townhomes on Lot 6 as part ofthe 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 December 19, 1996,
On December 18, 1996, the applicant 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.
t=-y\.tI ~ \.0 t ~ A

,--,
The attached application lays out the factors which have delayed construction of the
approved project. Lot 6 was included with Lot 5 in a Notice 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. The Lis Pendens has prohibited Savanah
from selling, developing, or financing either Lots 5 or 6. On November 15, 1995, the
trial court ordered the Lis Pendens removed. Lot 5 was released from the litigation, but
Lot 6 is now affected by an appeal to the court's order filed by Mr. Hadid.
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 ofproject 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 excavation of a
bikelpedestrian trail. Savanah proposed to excavate this trail at the time of construction
of the new townhouse units, which is to be undertaken by June 19, 1997.
(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. Although construction has not begun for Lots 5 and 6, utilities
have been installed and road upgrades are completed.
The applicant shall be required to mitigate any construction damage to Aspen Meadows
Road and a 1 "to 1.5" overlay is required when the construction 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 sixth 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. Because the Lis
Pendens is still under appeal, staff recommends the requested extensions be granted.

Request for Extension from GMQS Expiration Deadlines
for the Multi-Family Project Approved for Lot 6,
Aspen Meadows Specially Planned Area
This application is subrnitted on behalf of Savanah Lirnited Partnership, owner of
Lot 6, Aspen Meadows Specially Planned Area. Savanah requests an additional
extension of six rnonths in the expiration of the growth rnanagement allocations for
the seven rnulti-farnily units approved by the City on Lot 6 (the Tennis Townhornes
site) as well as an extension of the vested rights granted by the City for the project
approved for this lot.
Over the course of the last twenty-four rnonths, Savanah worked closely with the
Aspen Institute and with third parties to develop a co-developrnent scenario to
better serve the Institute's long-terrn needs for additional housing for its
participants. These negotiations previously led to the Aspen Institute's entering
into a contract to purchase Lot 5 frorn Savanah. However, in April of 1995, both Lot
5 and Lot 6 were included in a Notice of Lis Pendens recorded by Mohamrnad A.
Hadid in connection with a lawsuit filed by him against principals of Savanah
Limited Partnership. Savanah vigorously defended against the suit at considerable
expense, and on Novernber 15, 1995, the trial court ordered the Lis Pendens
removed.
Although Mr. Hadid previously released Lot 5 frorn the litigation so that the
Institute could proceed with its purchase, Mr. Hadid filed, on or about June 3, 1996,
an appeal of the court's order as it affects Lot 6. That appeal is still pending.
Savanah has been advised by its legal counsel that under the law, the Lis Pendens
remains in place on Lot 6 pending a decision on appeal. The practical effect of the
recorded presence of the Lis Pendens is that, through no fault of its own, Savanah is,
and for the past 18 rnonths has been, utterly incapable of doing anything with
respect to Lot 6 - i.e., either selling, developing or financing the lot.
Once Lot 5 was released from the Lis Pendens, the Aspen Institute was able to
proceed with its purchase of Lot 5 from Savanah and its purchase closed on or about
February 6, 1996. The Institute has been pursuing arnendrnents to the prior
approvals in order to proceed with construction work on the Trustee Houses. The
1
~
..-"
Institute has filed a separate ~tension request for its approvals for Lot 5, in order to
perrnit additional time to process their proposed arnendrnents.
In addition to the problerns created by the pending litigation, Savanah has entered
into a contract to sell Lot 6. The potential purchaser has appeared before the
Planning and Zoning Comrnission and the Historic Preservation Cornrnittee to
discuss certain changes which the purchaser wishes to make to the project
previously approved for Lot 6. Those two Boards agreed to allow these changes to be
reviewed under the Insubstantial Arnendrnent procedures of the land use code.
The Planning Director has now approved these changes under the Code provisions
which apply to Insubstantial Arnendrnents, subject to a final presentation regarding
certain design issues to the HPC.
A. Background:
Under the provisions of Sec. 26.100.100.A, development allotrnents and all other
development approvals are deerned to expire on the day after the third anniversary
of the project's final developrnent approval, unless a building perrnit is obtained
and the project is developed, or unless an extension of the approval is obtained.
The approvals for Lot 6 are now scheduled to expire on December 19, 1996 1.
In March 1994, Savanah submitted building perrnit applications for the two multi-
family projects proposed for Lot 5 and Lot 6 in anticipation of obtaining building
perrnits to begin construction of these two projects by the original deadline in
June, 1994. However, for scheduling reasons, Savanah hoped to postpone
cornmencernent of construction of the seven new townhouse units on Lot 6 until
1 Sec. 6-207(c) of the Code provides that in those matters in which the Council has final approval,
that approval shall be by ordinance. A site specific development plan shall be deemed approved on
the "effective date" of the approving ordinance. The effective date of Ordinance 14/91, under which
the City granted Final SPA Development Plan approval to the Aspen Meadows, was five business days
after the date of publication of the ordinance following its approval on June 10; in other words, the
effective date of the ordinance was June 20, 1991. Therefore, the GMQS allocations and vested rights
for the two multi-family residential projects in the Aspen Meadows SPA were originally due to expire
on June 21, 1994. Under Ordinance 22/94, Ordinance 10/95, Ordinance 38/95, Ordinance 6/96, and
Ordinance 27/96, City Council previously granted extensions of six months each and the approvals are
therefore now due to expire on December 19, 1996.
2
r--
,-,.
the fall of 1994 and then begin construction of the Trustee Houses project on Lot 5 in
the fall of 1995. Therefore, Savanah requested and received approval of an
extension in the date of expiration of the GMQS allocations and vested rights for
these residential projects from June 21, 1994 to December 21, 1994.
Subsequent to the granting of the original extension, sorne unforeseen zoning issues
arose with regard to these two projects as a result of City zoning staff review of the
pending building permit applications. These issues were the subject of two
administrative arnendrnents approved by the Planning Office as docurnented in a
March 16, 1995 memo. In the rneantirne, pending a resolution of the proposed
amendrnents, Savanah was granted a second extension to June 19, 1995.
Savanah and the Aspen Institute were granted a third extension to Decernber 19,
1995 after the Aspen Institute entered into the option contract to purchase Lot 5, to
allow additional tirne to plan the phasing of construction by the two separate
organizations. Savanah and the Aspen Institute were granted a fourth extension to
June 19, 1996 because of the recorded Lis Pendens, which effectively prevented the
transfer of ownership of either Lot 5 or Lot 6. Finally, after the sale of Lot 5, Savanah
was granted a fifth extension, to December 19, 1996 (see Ordinance 27/96, attached)
because of the pending appeal by Mr. Hadid.
B. Extension of GMQS Expiration Provisions for Lot 6:
Under the provisions of Sec. 26.100.100.A.2, rnulti-farnily developrnents shall be
eligible for extension of the GMQS expiration provisions. To obtain an extension,
an application for extension shall be subrnitted prior to the approval deadline which
shall demonstrate to the satisfaction of City Council that the following three
conditions in bold have been rnet (Savanah's response to these conditions follows
each condition):
(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 (Sec. 26.100.100.A.2.a).
To the best of the applicant's knowledge, all of the conditions which were
applied to the Project under the original SPA Agreernent which were Savanah's
obligation to fulfill have been satisfied. When City Council granted the latest six
3
r'\
r'\.
month extension of the 1990 Residential GMQS allocation to Decernber 19, 1996,
the approval was subject to the following additional conditions:
1. The applicant shall excavate the pedestrianlbike trail to the top of the
slope on Lot 6, as required in the insubstantial amendment to the Aspen
Meadows Lots 5 and 6, to be completed by December 19, 1996.
For several reasons, the required excavation work for the trail has not yet
been cornpleted. First, it has been Savanah's intent to complete the
excavation work for the trail at the sarne tirne as excavation work for the
residential units, to avoid the necessity of bringing equipment to the site
twice. Secondly, before the trail work can be undertaken, the Institute needs
to cornplete the relocation of trees which are located within the trail
easernent. Finally, it would be preferable to coordinate the excavation work
for the trail with the City's plans for the rernainder of the trail down the
hillside. Savanah has not been rnade aware of the City's plans if the City has,
in fact, established a final plan for that portion of the trail. The applicant
therefore requests that the date for completion of the trail excavation be
extended to the expiration date of this extension request, or until June 19,
1997.
2. The six (6) month extension shall begin at the date of expiration of the
previous 6 month extension which is December 19, 1996 and expire on June
19, 1996.
(Note that while the relevant dates were stated correctly in the introductory
paragraph of Section 1 of Ordinance 27/96, the dates shown in this condition
are transposed on the signed ordinance. The language should have read "The
six (6) month extension shall begin at the date of expiration of the previous
6 rnonth extension which is June 19, 1996 and expire on December 19, 1996".)
The applicant is now requesting an additional six-month extension, to June
19,1997.
(b) Any improvements that were required to be installed by the applicant prior
to construction of the project have been installed
(Sec. 26.100.100.A.2.b).
All of the irnprovernents which were required to be installed under the SPA
Agreernent have now been cornpleted, except the trail segrnent which was the
subject of a later Insubstantial Arnendment as discussed above.
4
~
~,
,
(c) The project has been diligently pursued in all reasonable respects, and the
extension is in the best interests of the community (Sec. 26.100.100.A.2.c).
Despite the fact that actual construction of the new residential units has not
begun, Savanah has nonetheless expended well over one rnillion dollars in road
construction, installation of utilities and landscaping in anticipation of the
residential building program.
The Consortium rnernbers have diligently pursued cornpletion of the project
while working within the constraints of the fund-raising efforts of the non-profit
organizations and the interruptions in construction during a large rnajority of
the sumrner building season which were previously agreed to. These were
recognized concerns spelled out by the parties to the SPA Agreernent. The
project infrastructure is in place and rnost of the new and renovated facilities are
now complete.
Savanah has diligently pursued a building perrnit for the project which is the
subject of this request and has worked closely with City staff to resolve
unforeseen zoning issues. The applicant has been unable to proceed with the
project because of the pending litigation. Savanah believes that the additional
extension is clearly in the best interests of the community.
In surnmary, Savanah is requesting an extension of the GMQS expiration
provisions for the allocations granted to the seven townhouse units on Lot 6 as well
as vested rights for the project for a period not to exceed six additional months. This
extension is requested in order to allow Savanah additional time to resolve the
pending litigation and to cornplete the rernaining HPC review of design changes to
the prior approvals.

Re:
Aspen Meadows Extension of Vested Rights (Lot 6)
(parcel ID No. 2735-122-31-003)
After reviewing the above referenced application, I am reporting the combined comments made by
the members of the DRC:
1. Existing Site Conditions - Since the proposed development lies within an existing subdivision,
was previously approved and consists of the build-out of the approved plans, there are no apparent
impacts or changes in the present site conditions, exterior uses of the property nor drainage
requirements for the property.
2. Incomplete Requirements - To date it appears that there are two conditions of the previous
approvals affecting this Lot 6 that have not been fulfilled.
a. The City Engineering Department has not received recorded as-built easements for the
sewer line through Lot 6. While the original easements were dedicated with the plat in
January, 1992, the dedication certificate (paragraph 4) on that plats states that the
descriptions of the "as-built" utility easements would subsequently be recorded upon the
completion of construction of the utilities. These must be received prior to issuance of a
building permit and shown on the site improvement survey in order to confirm that
construction is not proposed within the easement.
Similarly, the City Water Department has not received as-built easements and as-built
drawings of the water system for the Aspen Meadows Subdivision. These must be recorded
and received prior to issuance of additional building permits in the subdivision.
b. Prior to receiving a building permit for the proposed construction, the applicant is
required to post with the City financial assurances acceptable to the City Attorney and City
Engineer for the work on and around this lot. This requirement becomes effective upon
application for the building permit for this lot.

Memo - Aspen Meadows Extension 01 vested Rights (Lot 5)
3. Other Approving A.gencies - At the time that this development was approved, the City Public
Works Director oversaw and coordinated the several operating departments which provide services
to or have improvements in this development. Since this position has since been eliminated and the
responsibilities divided between the several departments which were formerly under the umbrella
of Public Works, it would be appropriate to confirm with each affected department that the
respective concerns, requirements and conditions for which it is now responsible, with respect to
this development, specifically this lot, have been adequately addressed or that there is a mechanism
for doing so.
The former Public Works Director also assisted in coordinating with the private utility providers
outside of the City of Aspen, (e.g. ACSD, KNE Energy, Holycross Electric Association, etc.) which
may also have specific requirements and obligations with this development which need to be
fulfilled or verified. A.s such, it would be appropriate to also contact these utilities.
