APPLICANT/OWNER: Harley Baldwin represented by Andy Hecht. LOCATION: East of Aspen along Highway 82. ZONING: LP/Lodge Preservation. HISTORY: The Crestahaus has quite an involved history beginning with a single family house, evolving into a "dude ranch" type accommodation and then becoming a swiss chalet style accommodation when it was purchased by Guido Meyer in 1960. The lodge was again upgraded and remodeled recently after receiving City approvals in the 1985 LP Growth Management competition. At that time, the owner received approval for 14 additional lodge rooms and a total architectural revision to the design and site plan. As part of the 1985 approval, specific representations were made by the owner which resulted in conditions being placed on the approval. These conditions are outlined in Resolution 1 (Series of 1986) (see attached Exhibit 1) . The existing Crestahaus Lodge is configured as follows: Existing square footage of lodge: 17,017 # of guest rooms: 35 # of employee rooms: 1 # of parking spaces: 33 Setbacks: front: 6' from Highway 82 side: 50' from the Riverside Subdivision (Lots 1-4) side: 50' (north) rear: 10' In the 1985 approval the Crestahaus landscaping, and prohibit buses in the was required parking areas. to do These r". ,-.... concerns as well as noise concerns were all expressed by the adjacent neighbors in the Riverside Subdivision. DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSAL: The current applicant is requesting to add an additional 6,674 square feet to the Crestahaus facility. No additional lodge rooms are proposed, however, the configuration and size of the existing rooms are proposed to be modified (the additional lodge room space is proposed to be 2,036 square feet). The major portion of the additional square feet is to be used in common space (4,618 square feet) for the guests of the lodge in the form of spa type facilities. In addition, the application proposes to significantly re-orient the parking spaces on the site, redevelop the landscaping plan and add an additional pool. Maps indicating the existing site layout and the proposed modifications are attached as Exhibits 2 and 3, respectively. A map overlaying the existing and proposed plans will be brought to the meeting. The most significant portion of the proposed modification to the structure is the south wing. It appears from the 1985 review that one of the nicest features of that development was its distance (excess of 100') from the houses in the Riverside Subdivision (Lots 1-4). The new proposal extends the structure into that 100 foot setback by approximately 40' leaving approximately 60' between the building and the houses in the Riverside Subdivision lots. The building then becomes only 10' from the side yard property line (the minimum requirement being 5 feet). Additionally, an outdoor pool is added on this side of the development, which may present conflicts between the residential neighborhood and the lodge use. A new 5' 6" wall is proposed to shield the Riverside development from the lodge for the length of the Crestahaus southern boundary and for a portion of the western property line as well. Another major feature of the proposal is to redevelop the parking and circulation pattern on the site. Currently the parking is arranged to allow incoming guests to turn right into the site, circle around an auto court to check in, then drive to a parking space located either within the U shaped configuration of the buildings or in one of two parking areas along the south side of the project adjacent to the Riverside Subdivision. The proposal is to remove the existing 3 bedroom detached unit on the southern border of the property in order to expand the parking in that location. These spaces would be brought from the rear of the parcel in order to allow for the expansion of the southwestern wing of the building. A total of 15 spaces are now placed along the southern border of the parcel. The proposal would reduce this to 13 but relocate them closer to the highway and closer to the concerned residents of the Riverside 2 Subdivision. ,~ I"'""<- The new site plan shows significant berming and landscaping around the proposed new pool areas, with little to no additional landscaping along the new (5' 6") wall along the southern border of the property. Another new wall is proposed along HWY 82. The application does not address the height of this wall and mentions a berm on the street side of the wall but does not mention the length or height of the berm. Landscaping appears to be added on the interior portion of the wall with a few trees placed near the entrance of the lodge on the outside of the new wall. The wall appears to run for the length of the parcel along the highway frontage. The following table indicates the new proposal, the existing conditions and the minimum code requirements: J..

GMP AMENDMENT Section 8-107(E) of the code requires that the Growth Management approval be rescored by the Planning commission. If the new score is equal to or greater than the original score, the Planning Commission may recommend approval or approval with conditions to the City Council. The Planning Commission scored the 1985 approval giving it an overall score of 74 points. The Planning Office recommended at that time a score of 64 points. The proposed amendment only affects the fOllowing sections of the scoring therefore the Planning Office has attached a copy of the 1985 scoring with the Planning commission scores and a, copy of the recommended amendment scoring with modifications in the affected areas. GM Items 1985 PC Score Recommended Amended Score site Design: 4.5 Architectural Design: 7.0 Parking & Traffic Circulation: 5.0 4.5 6.0 4.5 Visual Impacts: 6.5 Availability of or improvements to onsite common meeting areas: 6.0 6.5 6.0 Availability of or improvements to onsite dining facilities: Availability of or improvements to recreational facilities: 4.0 4.5 5.6 6.0 The overall recommended score is 72.6 which is 1.6 points less than the 1985 score. Therefore based on the Planning Office score the amendment request should be denied. SPECIAL REVIEW The external FAR of a lodge in the LP zone district is set by Special Review not to exceed a 1:1 ratio, pursuant to Section 7 niv. 4 of the Code. Specific criteria for the special review are found in Sections 7-404 and 7-407 of the Code. These are as 4 r" ,-, follows: 1. CRITERIA: The mass, height, density, configuration, amount of open space, landscaping and setbacks of the proposed development are designed in a manner which is compatible with or enhances the character of surrounding land uses and is consistent with the purposes of the underlying Zone District. 2. CRITERIA: The applicant demonstrates that the proposed development will not have adverse impacts on surrounding uses or will mitigate those impacts, including but not limited to the effects of shading, excess traffic, availability of parking in the neighborhood or blocking of a designated viewplane. 3. CRITERIA: The Planning Director may recommend, and the Commission may impose, such conditions that are necessary to ensure a proposed development subject to special Review complies with the purposes of the Aspen Area Comprehensive Plan, this division, and this chapter, including conditions to ensure the integrity of the City's Zone Districts are maintained, and the proposed use is compatible with surrounding land uses. This includes but is not limited to imposing conditions on size, bulk, location, open space, landscaping, lighting, signage, off-street parking, and other design features. RESPONSE: In 1983 when the Crestahaus was rezoned to L-3 the Planning Office and Planning Commission expressed concerns that the ultimate buildout potential on a 56,000+ square foot parcel was too large for the intent of the L-3 zone district. It was felt, however, that the community wished to allow these projects to be included in the L-3 zoning since it has historically been a part of the small lodge inventory. The proposal is approximately .40:1 for the external FAR which is far less than the potential 1:1 FAR. Due to the large lot size the Planning Commission may wish to consider a smaller FAR limitation (perhaps .5:1) for the Crestahaus due to the enormous buildout potential and the resulting conflicts with the intent of the LP zone district as well as the conflicts with the surrounding residential neighborhood. The request meets all the guidelines in the Code with regard to the dimensional requirements in the LP zone district. The staff is mostly concerned, however, with the impacts on the adj acent neighborhood regarding visual concerns, noise, exhaust, lighting and landscaping. In the 1985 Growth Management review, it was evident that the staff supported the upgrading of the then existing lodge because it could fit in with the neighborhood without significantly 5 ("\ ,,,,,",,, disturbing the surrounding residential development. The addition at that time was approximately 8,500 square feet (doubling the square footage at that time). The staff is presently concerned because the largest changes which are now proposed affect the area of the site closest to the Riverside neighborhood. The setbacks on this southern side have been significantly reduced and as' 6" wall has been added to separate the uses with very minimal landscaping offered to break up this hard surface approach to screening. A potentially loud outdoor pool area has been placed in the area adjacent to the neighborhood and a second level of the building is another 40 feet closer to the existing Riverside houses. In addition, the parking has been pUlled back closer to the highway making it more visible and bringing it closer to the first 3 lots in the Riverside Subdivision (who initially were very concerned about that use). The proposal intensifies the parking problem by putting 13 spaces together along the southern border, rather than breaking them up into two separate lots, one of which was behind an existing structure blocked from the highway view. The new parking and circulation proposal also brings an additional 6 spaces along the highway frontage and re- orients the 10 spaces in front of the building in a single row design (part of which will be shielded by the proposed center island of trees). The 1985 approval allowed 33 'parking spaces to be established. The 1985 application states that this is 1 space per free market bedroom. The applicant now represents that there are 35 free market bedrooms and one employee room. This discrepancy should be resolved and the correct amount of parking provided on the site. An additional concern of the Planning Office is that the application totally ignores that there will be an increase in employees generated. The Planning Office feels that an addition of 2,036 square feet to the size of the bedrooms and 4,618 square feet added to the common (spa) area of the lodge will generate employees. It is the opinion of the Planning Office that these new employees should be housed on site or that units elsewhere in the Aspen metro area be deed restricted to the Affordable Housing Guidelines. The Housing Authority suggests that an audit of employees be done in order to determine if in fact employees are generated by the addition. If so, the applicant would be responsible for providing housing for those employees pursuant to the Land Use Code Regulations. The last concern is that the lodge is being upgraded to such an extent that it will no longer be affordable or be considered a moderate priced facility. These concerns were expressed by members of the public and the staff in the 1985 review. The staff, however, feels at a loss because imposing price restrictions is not addressed by the Land Use Code and no specific commitments were made by the applicant in the 1985 review to keep the lodge as a moderately priced facility. 6 r-, r-, REFERRAL COMMENTS: 1. Engineering: In a memorandum dated January 16, 1989 Elyse Elliott of the City Engineering Department made the following comments: Easement - The city is planning to construct a bike lane along Highway 82, adjacent to the Crestahaus Lodge, we would like a 20' construction easement from the Crestahaus Lodge for this purpose. Retaining Wall - Was this built by the Crestahaus? If they claim this wall, they should obtain an Encroachment License because it is on Highway 82 right-of-way. Neighborhood complaints In 1988, neighbors of the Crestahaus complained that some of the utility lines used by the Crestahaus were left above ground. All utility lines must be undergrounded and repaired to the satisfaction of the neighbors. Landscaping - The dead trees should be replaced. Plat A plat should be submitted that meets the requirements of the Engineering Department. utilities - This project can be serviced by the utilities in place. Circulation - The plan for circulation and parking meets with our approval. Construction Schedule - This should be coordinated with the Engineering Department especially involving any work in the right-of-way that might conflict with the construction of the bike lane. 2. Housing: In a memorandum dated February 2, 1989 the Housing Authority recommends that the applicant produce an audit of employees to determine if there is an increase generated by the proposed square footage. 3. Neighbors: a. A letter dated January 29, 1989 from Tom and Carol Kurt is attached (Exhibit 4) stating they feel the Crestahaus parcel is already overbuilt. b. A letter from Helen Klanderud dated January 28, 1989 expresses several concerns. She feels the application is unclear and that past conditions of approval have 7 r'\ .~. not been adequately addressed (see Exhibit 5). SUMMARY In summary if the Planning commission finds the Growth Management score to be equal to the 1985 score the proposal can be recommended for approval to the city Council. The Land Use Code states that the applicant must receive the same or greater score in order to have the amendments approved. If the proposal is approved the Planning Office feels specific conditions should be imposed. Generally, the additions are shielded from the Highway and do not significantly appear to add to the bulk of the project. The areas of concern are the support areas such as landscaping, employee housing, parking and setbacks. RECOMMENDATION: If the Planning Commission scores the amendment higher or the same as the 1985 score (74) the following conditions shall be conditions of approval. If the Planning Commission scores the amendment request lower than the 1985 approval the amendment request shall be recommended for denial. 1. Addi tional landscaping (in addition to the appl icants responsibility to comply with the 1985 landscaping obligations) shall be added to the proposal in the area of the new parking along Highway 82 and along the inside and outside of the wall along the southern property line. This plan shall be submitted prior to the review by the City Council. The plan shall be reviewed by the Planning Office, Parks Department and Engineering. 2. All existing trees which have died shall be replaced. A bond for the new landscaping plan in a form acceptable to the City Attorney and an amount acceptable to the City Engineer shall be submitted by the applicant prior to issuance of a building permit for the new additions. 3. That the pool area/outdoor recreational area on the south border of the property be restricted to hours of operation. These hours shall be 8am to 9pm. 4. The applicant shall develop an audit system with the Housing Authority in order to determine if any new employees are generated by the addition. If so, these employees shall be housed pursuant to the Land Use Code requirements. If the alternative chosen is an on-site alternative this proposal shall be reviewed by the Planning commission and City Council. 5. That an encroachment permit be received by the 8 f"""\ ,~M,\ applicant from the Highway Department for the wall along Highway 82. 6. That the appropriate number of parking spaces shall be placed on the site relative to the number of bedrooms on site. This shall be resolved by the applicant and the Planning Office prior to review by the city Council. 7. An easement for the bike path shall be granted to the city by the applicant. 8. The total buildout potential for the Crestahaus shall be limited to .5:1 by Special Review pursuant to the LP zone district regulations. 9. All conditions of Resolution 1 (Series of 1986) shall remain in effect and apply to this application. ch.chapp2 9 ,--'---.. - MEMORANDUM TO: Planning Office FROM: Janet Raczak, Housing RE: Crestahaus - Amendment to GMP DATE: February 2, 1989 --------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------- We have reviewed the Crestahaus Amendment to GMP and Special Review. While the Crestahaus does not intend to increase its room count, it is increasing its common space and amenities by over 4000 s.f. Since this is a significant amount of usable space, it is the Housing staff's recommendation that the applicant produce an audit of employees to determine if there is an increase generated by the proposed square footage. If so, at that time, the applicant would be required to provide housing for this number of employees pursuant to the Land Use Code employee requirements. Since this is a staff recommendation, it will be taken to the Housing Authority Board meeting scheduled for February 22, 1989 for confirmation of this recommendation. If the Housing Authority does not agree with the staff recommendation, you will be so advised. ,....., : ';~,; ,;~X!j~;~~;:~~;'''~';:'' " n FEB 2 u January 28, 1989 Ms. Cindy Rouben City of Aspen Planning Department 13{} S.outh Galena st.

In 1985 I stated my concerns about the Crestahaus applicati,on for special review and, approval of fourteen additional uni t.s in tlle L-3, now LP, Zone. The stated purpose of the 'LP Zone is to "preserve existing lOdges. in tlieir existing, locations and to permit the- limited expansion of' these lOdges whe,rev,er 'appropriate." 'The special review criteria for establishing LP Zone FAR is the "compatibility of. the development with surrounding land uses and z-oning." In my estimation the 1985 Crestahaus proposal was. more than alimi tedexpanslon and 'proposed' serious incompatibili t,es with . the. adjacent R:-15 zening. The current propos.alrequests additional expansion of the lOdge and creates additional impacts on the adjacent residential Riverside Subdivision. The . 1985 application was extremely specific as to what renov.ations and' changes would occur on the property. It 'was easy to assess' what' impacts would, 'Occur on .adj acent properties. The current.application is very gener~l and incorrect on a number of points. 1. The application !States the number of guest rooms will remain unchanged, but.does.not 'specify the number of rooms. The residentIal unit to be torn. doWn constitutes one. l-odge unit, although it has three bedrooms. Does theappiicant consider this <me Or. three .units? 2. The aplllication ,sta~es the e,J(isting structural coverage will be increas.ed from 8420 square feet'to 10716 square feet or a total of 2296 square feet. It further states the external FAR will be increased from .15 to .19. In 1985 the exis.ting square footage at the ti.me of application was 11950 square feet. An additional 5067 square . feet was approved .which brought the total developed $,quare footage, to 17017. The existing unit lot coverage--prior to the'.1'985 appr()val )/'1as 8449 sq!lare feet;. The approval resulted in Ii net lot coverage increase of 1867 square feet or a total of 10316 square. feet. The FAR w,as increased, to ..30. The current application is not consistent, with what actually exists. It appears as though the proposal iqnoresthe 1985 GMP approval., It is 'not 'clear' whether the the Pl'Oposed square foot increase ,describesdevelope,d square footage or lot. coverage. (""'I (""'I 3. In 1985 the' impervious lot, coverage, including existing units, parking lot and swimming pool totalled 24963 square feet. 'The impervious lot coveraiJe after., approval was 262-6{) square feet. The. current application provides no information. as to addi,tional iinperVious lot coverage even. though' there is .an ciddit'ional swimming pool and rearrangement of parking spaces. 4. The 1985 approved lodge -expansion placed the new building 175 feet. from the adjacent resident.ial lots, including RiverSide Subdivision Lot 2; which is my property. The current application moves the building Significantly closer to the adjacent residenti.al --_.'-:cprope-rty~""Ifst11T-oV'er 60 "-feet at -nearest poirit"from adjacent res idences on Lots 1, 2, 3 and. '4 . . .

This cJ:'eates' additional impacts on, the- residential neighborhood due to increased. activity with resulting noise and probably. increased lighting in that area.. - .. ., , . 6. The removal. of_ the resi.dential unit is..a benefit because it is -currently within the setback. Howev,er tr.ansferring parking spaces to: that location will, create additional impacts. In 1985 the.. Planning Office and the - Planning and Zoning Commission were consistent in their concern _about the impact of parking spaces adjacent to the residential. neighborhood. The applicant was required to construct a fence and to imp3:ementa"landscaping plan to mitigate the impacts. The current application does not correc.tly. indicate the revised, landscape plan on its si-te plan. Its suggested landscape plan is less than what is currently in place and what was approved but never, implemented. Should the parking planbeapp-rovea. as pr~pos;ed; the spaces would need to meet - the setback requirements and should provide substantial landscaping . to buffer the parking areas from adj acent residential property. 7. The 1985 app1i'cation proposed to maint.ain trees currently On ,the property. <Trees were moved to meet the landscaping plan and some of ,them have died arid need to be replaced. . A review 6fthe November 5, 1986 Planning Office memo, the November 5;1986 planning and Zoning Comlllision GMP, scoring. sheet and the November 26, 1986 Planning and Zoning Commission special meeting minutes give a clear history of the concerns of the Planning Office, the Planning and Zoning Commission.and adjacent . residential property owners as to development of the Cresfahaus property. The current application for amendment does not address these concerns and substantially increases the impacts on the adjacent reSidential neighborhood. ,......, ~ The 1985 application was. received favorably because it was perceived as meeting. the goals of the LP Lodge Distri-ct. In 1985 the crestahaull was sorely in need of renovation. Approval was qlven but with significant requirements to mitigate impacts on the adjacent residential Ileighborh<lod. .The current application appears to go beyond the intent of the LP LOdge District and fll,rther impacts theadj acent residential neighbornood without demonstrating any specified implementation of community goals or pol-icy. The 1985.applicatiori on page 5, sectionS, paragraph 2 states, It is espeCially noteworty that while the applicant is expending signif1cant sums which will result in great improvements to the lodge, the lodge. rooms will be serving the same or similar clientele that it has typically served resulting in improved service to this segment of the market. ' Planning Commissioner Harvey at the Planning Commission meeting on November 6; 1985 sta~ed on pCl,ge 3, paragi'aph2, IAjnother concern was reagarding L-3 renovations creating upscale lodging; at higher rates, thereby squeezing out part of the market.

This Application for GMP allotment under 5 24-11.6 of the Municipal Code of the City of Aspen (hereinafter "City Code") seeks an allotment for fourteen (14) lodge units to be built in conjunction with the improvement and rehabilitation of twenty-one (21) existing lodge units located at the Crestahaus Lodge, 1301 Highway 82, Aspen. Colorado. This property is legally described as follows: ... ... See Legal Description, page 24. ... This project is located within the L-3 zone on real property containing 56,192 t square feet (1.29 Ac.). There presently exists on the property a lodge containing twenty-one (21) units of which nineteen (19) are lodge rooms and two (2) are employee units. The lodge also currently contains a common room area and an outside heated swimming pool. The total developed square footage at this time is 11,950. The fourteen (14) lodge units for which the Applicant is seeking a GMP allotment under this Application will constitute an expansion of the existing lodge and will represent an additional 5,067t square feet of development. ... ... ... Pursuant to 5 24-3.4 of the City Code which allows an external floor area ratio of up to 1-1 with special review approval in the L-3 zone, the Applicant, under this GMP Application, has the right to build additional density on the property. This Application calls for construction of an additional 5,067 square feet therefore the Applicant complies with density requirements; the FAR, with the proposed addition would be only .30. This project meets the other area and bulk requirements set forth in 5 24-3.4 of the City Code. The Applicant, sensitive to the City policy for preservation and upgrading of existing lodges, is planning significant renovation and upgrading to the twenty-one (21) existing units in the lodge along with the construction of the high quality fourteen (14) new units. Fifteen (15) of the existing units will be improved; six (6) of the existing units will be demolished and totally rebuilt. Thus the lodge use in this location will be preserved, upgraded and expanded in con~ormance with City policies which will be of benefit to the surrounding neighborhood and the community in general as well as fitting in perfectly with the intent and nature of the L-3 zone. ... 1'"' ... ... ... ... ... Concurrent with this Application, applicant is applying for special review to establish external floor area ratio, and for change of use approval to change the use of three units on the project from residential to short-term lodging. ... ... .- - ... aa. Water System. Discussions with the City Water Department indicate that the proposed development can be supplied by the existing facilities. There is sufficient excess capacity available from the City water supply to supply the proposed development. An eight inch water main exists in Highway 82 adjacent to the property. A 2 inch service line currently serves the existing units on the subject property. Water pressure in these lines is approximately 70 P.S.I. The anticipated water demand is expected to fall well within the normal lodge standards. The project is located very close to the main fire station (.75 miles) so facilities already exist to provide fire protection to the project. Fire hydrants are located 50 feet from the north corner of the property (City Hydrant No. 052) and 150 feet from the southeast corner of the property. - - )' .... - - bb. Sewage. Discussions with the Aspen Metropolitan Sanitation District indicate the District has sufficient excess capacity available to serve the proposed development. A ten inch trunk line exists in Highway 82 adjacent to the property which is already connected to the property. Estimated system usage will be within the norm for lodge use. The existing treatment plant can easily accommodate the anticipated demand according to the Aspen Sanitation District manager. (See Utilities, page 32.) ,... - ... cc. Drainage. Historic site drainage from the site will be improved. All parking surface runoff and roof runoff from new construction will be maintained on site in dry wells. Existing general site drainage toward the irrigation ditch along the northwest will not be disturbed. (See Drainage, page 33.) ... I"'" dd. Development Area. Present existing lot coverage for the twenty-one (21) existing units equals 8,449 square feet. The present parking lot coverage is 16,094 square feet, and the pool is 420 square feet. The total present impervious coverages is, therefore, 24,963 square feet or 44% of the lot. This leaves present open space at 56%. The proposed addition of fourteen (14) new units will result in a net lot coverage increase of 1,867 square feet. The parking plan for thirty-three (33) autos will have a more efficient configuration than presently exists, and will decrease parking lot coverage by 570 square feet. The impervious coverage total with the proposed new addition is, therefore, 26,270 square feet or 47% of the total lot area. This leaves open space in the amount of 53%. ... ~ ... -, ... ee. Traffic. Based on the City of Aspen I s calculation values of vehicles per lodge room, the added number of ... - 2 - ,... ,... ,... vehicles anticipated for this project is seven (7) during periods of full occupancy. The property is serviced by Highway 82, a state highway which can adequately handle all anticipated traffic. It is expected that seventeen (17) motor vehicles will use or be stationed in the lodge, as expanded by the proposed development. The hours of principal daily usage cannot be accurately determined but it can be expected that hours will be consistent with typical lodge use in the City of Aspen. There will be thirty-three (33) on-site parking places supplied. All of these are off-street parking. Existing bicycle routes and paths are very close to the project. Bicycle storage racks will be provided on the property. The Mountain Valley bus route goes past the property on Highway 82. This proposed development discourages automobiles usage in various ways. The site is within easy walking or bicycling distance of essential commercial and retail services and activities. A bike path exists along the paved shoulder of Highway 82. There is also a bike path that runs along Ute Avenue that cuts back to Highway 82 through the Aspen Club area which can be used to access the property in a less arduous manner. The applicant desires to assist the City in building a 320 foot link to the existing bike path along the entire Highway 82 frontage of the property. Applicant estimates this 320 foot link will cost $6,000.00, and is willing to contribute $4,000.00 to this cost. Applicant will pay this sum at the time the City formally authorizes commencement of the project to add this link to the bike path. (See photo, page 20. ) - .... ,... - - - - ,- ,... ff. Effects of Proposed Development on Adiacent Land Uses. The proposed development is fully compatible wi th surrounding uses in the neighborhood and will positively enhance and complement the local character of the neighborhood. The eleven unit "Alpine Lodge" is across the street. The surrounding land (including the Alpine Lodge) is zoned R-15. In the Riverside Subdivision, lots range from 10,000 to 20,000 square feet. Along Mayflower Drive, Aene Park and the Ferguson cabins to the north, lots are 6,000 to 10,000 square feet. The presently built-out FAR on the adjacent R-15 lots is .20 to .40, therefore our proposal of .30 fits well within the range of existing built density of the neighborhood. Thus the lodge use at the property has been an existing beneficial use in the neighborhood, for some time and the proposed development will only enhance this use. ,... - .... ,... ,.... gg. Construction Schedule. No phased construction is Construction is projected to commence Spring completed by Fall, 1986. planned. of 1986, and be - - - 3 - ,... !"'" indicated on maps. - ee. The zoning district is identified on the zoning map (page 23). Surrounding uses are residential and lodge. Historical district boundary lines, if any, are indicated on the zoning map. !"'" B. REVIEW CRITERIA. - 1. Availability of Public Facilities and Services. .... aa. Water. The existing water system of the City of Aspen has sufficient capacity to provide for the needs of the proposed development and will be able to supply water to the development without system extensions beyond those normally installed by the developer and without treatment plant or other facility upgrading. An eight inch water main is located in Highway 82 adjacent to the property. - !"'" - bb. Sewer. This site is served by and already connected to the ten inch trunk line existing in Highway 82 adjacent to the property. The Metropolitan Sanitation District Sewer System has sufficient capacity to dispose of the wastes of the proposed development and will be able to serve the development without system extensions beyond those normally installed by the developer. No treatment plant or other facility upgrading will be necessitated by this development. .- - - cc. Storm Drainage. Historic site drainage from the property will be improved. All paved area and newly constructed roof drainage will be retained on site in dry wells. The development will not require any use of the City's drainage system as the project provides for on site retention of 100% of runoff from new roofs and from impervious areas. The existing general site open space drainage toward the irrigation ditch along the northwest of the property will not be disturbed. .... - - dd. Fire Protection. The new lodge units will be constructed with fire protection in excess of the Building Code requirements. In conformance with the Code, smoke detectors will be furnished throughout for added protection. In addition fire extinguishers will be supplied. There are two hydrants presently serving the Property;" these are located fifty feet from the north corner of the property and 150 feet from the southeast corner of the property. The project is very close (less than .75 miles) to the main Aspen Fire Station and the response time is under three (3) minutes, an exceptional response time for a small mountain community. The Fire Department is able to provide fire protection according to - - - !"""- - 5 - ,... ,... - its established response standards without the necessity of establishing a new station or requiring addition of major equipment to the existing station. Available water pressure and capacity are more than adequate to provide for fire fighting flows. No water storage tank is necessary to serve the project. ,... - ee. Roads. The major linkage of the road network can easily provide for the needs of the proposed development without substantially altering the existing traffic patterns, creating safety hazards or overloading the existing street system. The property is served by Highway 82, a state highway. The minimal increased usage attributable to the proposed development will not necessitate any road system improvements. Because the project is very near to the City's commercial and retail facilities and a bus line stops right at the project, all automobile use from the project will be minimized and bicycling, walking or the use of public transportation will be maximized. - ~ - ,... 2. Quality of or Improvements to Desiqn. aa. Architectural Design. - - (1) History of the Lodge The beginning point of the lodge is a fine old, two-story brick Victorian house which once oriented toward the highway. (See photo, page 14.) ,... The house and property were purchased by the Mi.llers in 1950, who added a three-room addition to the west, and opened the "Millerest Lodge". The brick was painted over at that time. (See photo, page 15.) ,... ,.... Around 1954, the lodge began to take on a "dude ranch" look with the addition of horses, several small outbuildings and a four-room log addition. (See photo, page 16.) - In 1956, the Miller's added two concrete block wings to the north with eight (8) guest rooms and a swimming pool, in the "old world" half-timber and stucco vocabulary, and subsequently held a contest among their guests to rename the lodge. (See photo, page 17.) The lodge then became the nHighlander". ,... - This brick Victorian/half-timbered Scottish Highlander/log cabin dude ranch assemblage of structures was acquired around 1960 by Guido Meyer who immediately renamed it the "Crestahaus" and proceeded to modify the imagery as ,... - - 6 - """ ... ... that of a "Swiss chalet" by adding curving gingerbread fascias to all buildings. (See photo; page 18.) ,... After this turbulent six-year building spree and the resulting plethora of architectural identities, the lodge has remained virtually unchanged, even though much has changed around it, for the last 25 years. ,... (2) Architectural Possibilities ,... In spite of the montage of images: Victorian/old world half-timber/log cabin dude ranch/Swiss chalet, the existing lodge buildings have several postive qualities upon which to build: (1) interesting massing and roof lines , (2) small scale elements, (3) prominent dormer and gable-end features, and (4) a covered arcade connecting the buildings. - - Therefore, applicant intends to emulate and emphasize these positive features in its proposed addition of fourteen (14) rooms. Specifically, the new structure is designed as a group of smaller structures, each with the 6/12 and 8/12 roof pitches. The grouping of structures continues the existing pedestrian arcade and creates an "entry court" space for drop-off, pick-up, and pedestrian circulation. I"'" ~ ... At the same time, the negative detracting features will be removed: (1) the substandard cabin out-buildings (two units) and the log-cabin (4 units) will be demolished and rebuilt as part of the new addition, and (2) the fake Swiss fascias and dude ranch log vestiges will be removed, and an airy lattice gridwork will be applied to all gable ends to unify the old and new buildings, and to lend a festive and modern look to the new "Crestahaus Lodge". (See Perspective and Elevations, pages 25, 29, 30.) - - - bb. Site Design. Serving the existing twenty-one (21) rooms is a vast gravelled parking lot of 16,094 square feet which inefficiently parks 19 cars. (See Existing, page 24.) We propose a carefully designed and landscaped parking area of only 15,525 square feet which parks several more cars. In this manner, the new addition and cars can be accomodated and the landscaped open space maintained at approximately the present level. - I"'" - Cars will be screened from view by small bermed planting islands in the' centers, and by bracketing the ends of parking. Nine (9) existing pines and spruces 16 to 32 feet high along the highway frontage will be maintained in the present locations. A row of 6 mountain ash, l~" to 2" caliper, will be planted around the Auto - ... - 7 - ,.. ,.... ,.. Court circle, and low shrubs will be added. (See Landscaping Plan, page 31.) ,.. Small paths will be constructed out into the open space areas to the west of the site to invite guests to wander and explore during good weather, and small seating areas with benches will be provided. - Flowering plants and shrubs, and ground cover will complete the Auto Court area, while existing junipers, crab apple, and lilac will be retained. At the southeast corner of the property adjacent to the highway, the 8 foot willow shrubs will be maintained in their present locations. .... ,.... All disturbed areas will be hydro seeded and revegetated with a Canadian bluegrass/perennial ryegrass /brome/crested wheat mixture. ,... cc. Energy Conservation. Glazing ,.. Portions of the existing lodge to be retained have several single glazed windows, and these will all be outfitted with storm panels or replaced with double glazed units. All new exterior window units in new construction will be weathershield triple-glazed units or equal. ,.... Insulation ,.. - To the existing lodge, 1" "thermax" R-8 solid insulation will be added along the arcade walkway exterior wall. In new construction, all walls will exceed R-20, and roofs will exceed R-32. - Solar Heating ,.. The new jacuzzi tub to be added near the pool will augment its water heating needs with two solar collectors and a pre-heat tank (located in the sauna equipment room) . ... Passive Solar - The fourteen (14) new, and six (6) rebuilt uni ts will orient south and west toward views, with major glazing and overhangs, and will thus acquire considerable passive solar heating benefit. The six units which are being demolished and rebuilt presently have no wall or roof insulation, and do not orient to the sun; thus the rebuilding represents a considerable energy upgrade. - - ,.... - 8 - .... Parking and Circulation. addi tion of fourteen (14) uni ts is expected to dd ven (7) cars to peak-season usage and demand. Nevert eless, the Parking Plan (see Site Plan, page 26) provides one space per bedroom, or a total of thirty-three (33) spaces for each of thirty-three (33) free-market rentable rooms in the lodge as required by Code. The Parking Plan creates a total of 15,525 square feet of impervious area, as contrasted with the inefficient eXisting plan with 16,094 square feet of impervious area which parks only half as many cars. (See Existing, page 24.) -- .... .... ,... - .... Traffic flow within the site is to an Auto Court pick-up/delivery/drop-off area centrally located at the focal point of the pedestrian courtyard. Cars are arrayed in small groupings of cars, visually bracketed on three sides by planted areas, shrubs, and gentle berming to soften the visual impact of the cars, both from within the site and from neighboring vantage points. - ,... r- Trash pick-up area is centrally located, but trash trucks do not need to pass by lodge rooms or parked cars to make the pick-ups. ,... Access to Highway 82 is single-point access as exists presently at this time. The present gravelled "turn-out" areas which presently exist to both sides of the highway entrance shall be maintained in their present condition. - ee. Visual Impact. New construction will minimize visual impact in the following ways: - (1) Buildings are located 120 feet back from Highway 82, at their nearest point. .... - (2) Buildings are over 100 feet at nearest point from adj acent residences on Lots 1,2,3, and 4 of Riverside Subdivision. ,... (3) The two-story construction matches the height of adjacent residence on Lot .1, and is lower than those across Highway 82 on Lots 5 and 6 on Aene Park Drive. (See photo Surrounding Buildings, page 22.) - (4) feet, or 6 feet requirements. Median height of new pitched roofs is 22 lower than allowable under zoning - (5) Buildings are arrayed in a "J" shape to create a courtyard; this "negative" space becomes the visual focus from the highway, rather than the building itself. (See Perspective, page 25.) ,... - - 9 - ,... ,... ,... (6) Small scale massing elements are joined together to create the new building, similar to those of the existing lodge, thus extending the "village" character of the existing lodge. ,... (7) New roof shapes of gable, dormer, and valley echo the existing attractive roof lines of the existing lodge, and at the same steep pitches: 6/12 and 8/12. ,... ,... (8) A collonaded arcade visually and phyically joins the buildings, creating an inviting pedestrian feeling. Again, the focus is that of a negative space rather than the mass of the building. ,... (9) View corridors of surrounding residences are respected and maintained. (See Visual Vulnerability Map, page 34.) ,... ,... (10) The building is not visible from the perspective of Highway 82, leaving town as shown in the photo, page 21. ,... (11) Gable ends of the new and existing buildings shall receive a light lattice-work which gives a small scale texture, and a light and airy feeling to these dominant forms. (See Elevations, pages 29, 30.) ,... 3 . Amenities Provided for Guests. ,... aa. The existing 576 square foot common room will be improved and will be more greatly utilized. Continental breakfasts will continue to be served in the common room. Wine and cheese service in the evening will be added. New lighting in the main common room will encourage intimate seating groups, and front lighting will serve meeting and conference use. In addition, by remodeling, a second common room/meeting room will be made available for use by guests or by special reservation for meetings. ,... ,... ,... bb. The existing on-site dining facilities are being substantially improved. The kitchen facility is being remodeled and upgraded so that in-house parties and banquets can be provided and breakfast service may be expanded. ,... - cc. To compliment the existing pool, lighting will be added in and around the pool area to allow nighttime pool usage. In addition, an eight foot jacuzzi will be added to serve the property. A sauna is also being added to serve the property. Additional amenities include a 13 x 32 foot exercise and Nautilus room, which will provide guests additional recreational opportunities. A new ski - ,... - 10 - "" ~ .... storage room will be added to serve the guests. Landscaped lighting will encourage evening use of the new garden paths. - Conformance to Local Public Policy Goals. U---- aa. provision of Employee Housing. ~~ The project is expected to generate one (1) new employee. This has been determined based on the level of service reflected by this type of lodge operation. Adding a small number of rooms to an existing lodge facility does not typically generate the need for additional employees. This will make a total of four (4) employees serving the lodge. The applicant agrees to provide employee housing which complies with the guidelines of the City Council's housing designee which will provide for 100% of the additional employees generated by the project. The new employee will be housed in a deed restricted "dorm" room having a shared bath, containing 360 square feet of private sleeping area. In addition, the employee using this dorm room will have access to and use of the kitchen and the employee dining area, as well as the other lodge facilities. Although the private sleeping area portion of the employee living space is less than 400 square feet, the employee will have access to and use of living areas of not less than 1,030 square feet. This proposal will be discussed with the Housing Authority. If the Housing Authority is dissatisfied with this proposal, applicant will supply employee housing of a size satisfactory to the Housing Authority for the one new employee (100%) generated by the new units, as per the provisions of !;24-11. 6 (b) (4) of the Code. Parking for the employees will be discussed at special review as provided in the section of the City Code addressing L-3 residential uses and employee parking. 4 . ,.. .... - .... - - - .... .... bb. Conversion of Existing Units. !'- An existing fully constructed, unrestricted lodge unit will be dedicated for employee use. - cc. Rehabilitation and Reconstruction of Existing Units. .... Fifteen (15) existing units will be upgraded wi th thermal, safety and cosmetic improvements. Six (6) existing substandard units will be demolished and rebuilt from scratch. Applicant is expected to expend at least $350,000.00 to accomplish this rehabilitation and reconstruction. The conceptual program for the construction of the project, as set forth below, identifies the proposed .... .... .... - 11 - ... .... ... improvements to be made to the lodge unit and non-unit space, and the timetable for the restoration or rebuilding. Because the applicant will be improving on or rehabilitating all twenty-one (21) existing units in the project, it is entitled to maximum points under this section. The rebuilt portions of the lodge shall be suitable for occupancy prior to or at the same time as the new units for which the allotment is being requested. I"'" ... r- 5. BOnus Points. The project has incorporated and met the substantive criteria of S 24-11.6 (b) (1), (2), (3) and (4), and has also exceeded the provisions of these subsections and achieves an outstanding overall design meriting recognition. The project is tastefully designed to blend in with and enhance the character of the neighborhood and incorporates the best facets and technology of energy conservation. There will .be no negative impacts on traffic, roads, public safety, fire protection, police protection, drainage, water or sewer service. Applicant will be making improvements which will enhance various services and visual qualities of the neighborhood. The existing services and facilities are adequately situated and set up to serve the project efficiently at no public fiscal increase. Great care has been taken in the design of the project to conserve energy and utilize solar energy. The project energy efficiency rating significantly exceeds all applicable City requirements. This proj ect significantly upgrades and expands amenities available to the tourists utilizing the lodge and the lodge overall is greatly enhanced and upgraded in accordance with the lodge preservation policy of the City of Aspen. The parking plan for the project is hidden from view offering great safety and convenience as well as preserving existing spruces, pines and aspen trees on the property. Applicant is providing housing for one hundred percent (100%) of the employees generated by the project. ... ,... ~ - - ,.. ... - It is especially noteworthy that while the applicant is expending significant sums which will result in great improvements to the lodge, the lodge rooms will be serving the same or similar clientele that it has typically served resulting in improved service to this segment of the market. - I"'" In sum this project has been very carefully thought out to balance the needs of the developer to create a viable project with the policies expressed by the City of Aspen and the community in general. We feel this project achieves this balance and is the kind of project that should be encouraged by the City. . - C.
