SOMMER RESIDENCE
HARDSHIP DESCRIPTION
April 6, 1990
A variance from the F.A.R. and setback requirements imposed on
the property by current zoning is necessary so the existing structure
can be made into a safe, energy efficient, and useful single family
home. Hardships exist due to the original design of the home and the
inherent nature of the pan-abode construction.
A primary safety hardship is caused by the existing sub-code
stairway which is so steep and narrow that movement from upstairs
to downstairs is difficult for adults and unsafe for small children Our
first child is expected in October and future children are planned.
This stairway makes it impossible to use the house efficiently. The
entry to the house is also difficult and unsafe in its existing form.
These hardships will be remedied by moving the stairway to the
only part of the house where it can provide safe and convenient
access between the two floors and by relocation of the entry to
provide the same results.
The second major area of hardship is the lack of adequate
insulation. The walls of the present structure are the original pan-
abode material (approximate value R-3.5) and all of the windows are
single-pane, aluminum frame style. In addition there are numerous
small holes in the existing walls. These features make the house cold
and drafty. This hardship will be remedied by the addition of new
insulation, siding, and windows to bring the home up to current
energy standards.
The third hardship is the interior design of the house which
creates many small spaces unsuitable for family use. This hardship
will be remedied by removing some interior walls, enlarging the
upstairs bathroom, and expanding the house to provide a bedroom
adjacent to the enlarged bathroom. The result will be an efficient
three-bedroom home for family use in which all interior space is
useful.
Approval of the requested variance will allow the existing house
to be made into a safe, energy efficient, and well integrated single
family dwelling which is consistent with the neighborhood. The
appearance of the home will be enhanced by the removal of a bulky
front porch and external storage shed.

Minutes
Pitkin County
Board of Adjustment
May O1, 1990
Members Present: Kandi Shaffran, Chairman
Rick Neiley
Ted Guy
Member Absent: Stan Mathis
Evan Gull
John Ostwald
Buddy Lucero, Acting Pitkin County Zoning Administrator, and
Joanna Schaffner, Zoning Technician, were present with staff
recommendations and comments.
Shaffran opened the meeting at 5:22 p.m. and introduced the Board
to those present.
Tom Smith, County Attorney, addressed the Board regarding Case
#90-16, Hillary Ossario. Smith reiterated that the Stouffer's,
through Nick McGrath, their attorney, are requesting a rehearing
regarding the variance. Smith recommended that the Board deny
the request for rehearing, but may reconsider the issue after the
Pitkin County Planning & Zoning Commission (P&Z) and the Board of
County Commissioners (BOCC) have reheard the 1041 review.
McGrath stated that the main issue is the relationship of the
BOCC's determination of the 1041 envelope and the Board of
Adjustment's (BOA) duties in granting a variance consistent with
the envelope.
Gull stated that there were no grounds upon which to treat a
variance which has been approved by the Board to retract it
temporarily via tabling. There were no irregularities in the
BOA's approval process, but apparently irregularities preceding
this process. What McGrath is requesting is that the rehearing
be granted subject to what the BOCC and the P&Z decides regarding
the 1041 envelope.
Smith suggested that the Board draft the resolution granting the
80 foot front yard setback variance on Case #90-16, but table
approval of the document until after the 1041 review has been
reviewed before the P&Z and the BOCC in July.
Shaffran moved that the Board table approval of the resolution
until such time that a decision is rendered from the rehearing by
the BOCC and P&Z later this summer. Guy seconded. the motion and
it was passed 5-0.
Case #90-19. Wiley James & Kathy Lot 33 Holland Hills
James and Kathy Wiley were present to request a 59 foot front
yard setback variance where 100 feet is required in the AF-1 zone
district, for the construction of a single-family residence.
000017
Shaffran commented that the house is as centrally located on the
lot as possible. Guy stated that the size of the lot relates to
R-30 zoning.
Shaffran asked if there were any members of the public to respond
to this case. Neighbor Jeannie Wilder, owner of Lot 33, stated
that she will be building a two-story dwelling across the street
from the Wileys. The Wileys stated that this was not a problem
with the location of their house as sited on the plans.
Guy made a motion to grant the requested 58.5 foot front yard
setback variance as reflected on the plans submitted, due to
downzoning. Gull seconded the motion and it passed 5-0.
Peter Van Domelen was present to request a 30 foot south yard
setback variance where 50 feet is required in the RS-30 zone
district, for the construction of a single-family residence,
because of topographic hardships.
Van Domelen mentioned that this lot has gone before the Board of
Adjustment previously, Case #89-32, and a variance was granted.
Once Van Domelen started to excavate, he found that the hillside
would be greatly scarred and alot of fill would have to be
brought in for the house. By changing the angle of the house,
there is less disturbance of the hillside and less of a road cut.
There was no one from the public present to comment on this case.
Guy stated that this is a i acre lot, comparable to AF-3 zoning
where setbacks are 50/20/20.
Schaffner requested that any approval be based on the condition
that the height not exceed the maximum height limit. Discussion
ensued if the Board should be considering the height of the
house. Lucero commented that if the height is to remain the same
as when the case was first heard (Case #89-32), there is no need
to renotify. If the height does change, then the public has to
be renotified since height was a major concern in Case #89-32.
Denis Cyrus, architect for Peter Van Domelen, reiterated that the
height of the house would not change.
Ostwald made a motion to grant a 30 foot south side yard setback
variance; with the condition that there is no other change to the
original submission, due to topographical hardships. Gull
seconded the motion. The vote was approved 5-0.
Case #90-21 Kittle Wyland, 24150 Hiahwav 82, Basalt
Wyland Kittle was present to request a 10 foot west side yard
setback variance, where 30 feet is required in the AF-1 zone
district, for an addition to a single-family residence, because
of a non-conforming lot size.

Shaffran asked if anyone from the public was present to comment.
There was no one present.
After a brief discussion, Guy moved to grant a 10 foot west side
yard setback variance due to downzoning. Shaffran seconded the
motion and it was passed 5-0. Ostwald added than any overburden
from the excavation cannot be dumped into the river without
approval from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
Christopher Sommer, and architect Al Byer, were present to
request a 20 foot front yard setback variance and a 10 foot front
yard setback variance where 30 feet is required in the R-15 zone
district, for the construction of a proposed addition and a
proposed entry way, respectively, for a single-family residence.
Sommer was also requesting increasing the FAR, but through
extensive discussion it was found that there was not going to be
an increase in the FAR with the proposed changes. Lucero and
Schaffner both agreed.
Sommer submitted photographs of the house and the area. Byer
explained how the outlay of the subdivision and how entry is
obtained to Sommer's house.
The Board asked Lucero whether this area was going to be annexed
into the City. Gull, who lives in the Ardmore Subdivision,
stated that there was an attempt to annex this subdivision some
time ago, but there was some opposition so it was dropped from
consideration.
Shaffran read a note from Mrs. Blade, a neighbor, who called and
stated the Blade family has no objections and, in fact, favor the
Sommer's proposed plans.
A model of the house as it would appear after the remodeling was
presented to the Board for further clarification of the changes
as explained by Byer.
Neiley stated that the Pitkin County Land Use Code makes
reference to all sorts of exceptional hardships not caused by the
applicant. Neiley continued that a house built in the 1960's,
was not designed to meet current code standards, is inefficient
with respect to energy, and may be considered a hardship to allow
modest increases in FAR to rectify those conditions.
Guy made a motion to grant a 10 foot front yard setback variance
for an entry and a 20 foot front yard setback variance for a
proposed addition to a single-family residence, as shown on the
plans submitted, due to downzoning. Shaffran seconded the motion
and it was passed 4-1 with Ostwald abstaining because of the
prior discussion regarding FAR.
