All persons affected by the proposed variance are invited to appear and state their views, protests or objections. If you cannot appear personally at such meeting, then you are urged to state your views by letter, particularly if you have objection to such variance, as the Board of Adjustment will give serious consideration to the opinions of surrounding property owners and other affected in deciding whether to grant or deny the request for variance. THE PARTICULARS OF THE HEARING AND OF THE REQUESTED VARIANCE ARE AS FOLLOWS: Date and time of meeting: Name and Address of Applicant: September 11, 1990 at 5:15 pm Tracy A. Lorton c/o Marty Pickett 320 West Main Street Aspen, CO 81611 Property Location or Description: Above Wildridge II & Sinclair Road, Snowmass Village Requesting approval for a 34.5 foot west side yard setback variance, where 50 is required in the RS-30 zone district, for construction of a single-family residence. Approval of this request would locate the proposed house 15.5 feet from Lorton's west side yard property line. Duration of Variance: Temporary TH~ITKIN Ceti Cindy Permanent• X COUNTY BOARD.OF ADJUSTMENT `, %~ ~, Christensen, Secretary ~DUUQ~ APPLICATION FOR VARIANCE TO THE PITRIN COUNTY HOARD OF ADJUSTMENT The Applicant, Tracy A. Lorton, is the owner of a 35.24 acre parcel, legally described in Exhibit "A" and shown on the enclosed vicinity map as Tract 1. The subject property is located just outside the Town of Snowmass Village above Wildridge Subdivision, at the end of Sinclair Road. Hardship The Applicant received 1041 Minor Hazard Review Approval by the County Planning and Zoning Commission, in Resolution No. 88- 45. Recently, the Applicant was granted an amendment to the recorded 1041 Plat which relocated the building envelope closer to the southern and western property boundaries to further remove the single family dwelling out of 1041 hazard areas, and specifically to preserve mature vegetation on the property. The approved building envelope lies 15 feet from the western, rear yard boundary, while the required rear yard setback for the property is 50 feet. This Application seeks a variance from the rear yard setback to allow for the house to be built with a setback of 15 feet 6 inches from the western boundary (common boundary with Tract 3), a 34 feet 6 inches variance. The Board recently heard a request from this Applicant for a 35' variance of the rear yard setback and a 25' variance of the side yard setback. As you recall, the property has only about 5,000 square feet for a building envelope because of the 1041 prohibition from development on slopes of greater than 20%. At that hearing, the most pressing concern was objection from the owner of Tract 2, Lee Wagman, because he felt the variance in his direction would negatively impact his property. Mr. Wagman and the owners of Tract 3, Dick and Robin Danell support this pending application requesting the variance only on the western, rear yard boundary. Since the last hearing, the architects have worked to reach a more detailed level of design and the result is a critical need to obtain this rear yard variance in order to keep the house off the ridge on the property, preserve significant mature pine trees and other vegetation and avoid substantial cutting into the slope. The Applicant submits that this variance will allow for the best development on the site, meet the interests of all parties involved and will enhance the benefit of the public good by clustering the three homesites more tightly in a plan approved by all three property owners, thereby reducing the potential 1041 impacts.

County PO # 47987 000010 Minutes Pitkin County Board of Adjustment September 11, 1990 Members Present: Evan Gull, Acting Chairman Rick Neiley John Ostwald Ted Guy Members Absent: Kandi Shaffran and Stan Mathis Buddy Lucero and Joanna Schaffner, of the Pitkin County Zoning Office, were present with staff recommendations and comments. Gull, as acting chairman, opened the meeting at 5:20 p.m. and introduced the Board to those present. Gull stated that there were only four members present, and to have a variance granted, you need four affirmative votes. If anyone wants to be tabled until the next meeting when more members may be present, they can do so. Rudolph Netzer was present to request a clarification on Resolution 88-31 which should be corrected to reflect the granting of a 15 foot north side yard setback variance to the center of the abandoned drainage ditch on the west side of the lot, for construction of a single-family residence. Schaffner and Netzer stated that what was stated on Resolution 88-31 was different than what was approved at the July 5, 1988 meeting (according to the tape of that meeting), and Resolution 90-42 would be correcting this error. Resolution 88-31 indicated that approval be granted for the "building envelope as submitted allowing the building no closer than 50 feet of the eastern property line and no closer than 35 feet of the southern property line and no closer than 35 feet of the center of the abandoned drainage ditch on the western side of the lot." What was actually approved was a 50 foot front yard setback, a 35 foot north side yard setback and a 35 foot south side yard setback to the center of the abandoned drainage ditch. Guy made a motion to adopt Resolution 90-42 granting the 15 foot north side yard setback variance as originally granted on July 5, 1988. Ostwald seconded the motion and all were in favor. 1 li .. ai.t1 i Marty Pickett, Attorney, and Larry Yaw, Architect, for Lorton, were present to request a 34.5 foot west side yard setback variance, where 50 feet is required, for construction of a single-family residence. Pickett stated that they were before the Board previously (August 2, Case No. 90-31) and were denied their request for a 35 foot rear yard setback variance and a 25 foot south side yard setback variance. Yaw has redesigned the proposed house and has shifted the proposed location of the house back to satisfy Wagman, the neighbor, preserve the conditions placed on them by the Planning & Zoning Commission and still preserve the trees located on the property. Yaw mentioned that they have 7,000 square feet of buildable land on a 35-acre parcel because of restrictions placed on the lot during the 1041 Review process. Gull asked for public comments; there were none. Neiley stated that he does not particularly like where the proposed location of the house is, but he has talked with Rick Knezevich, attorney for Wagman (neighbor to the Lorton's property), and Waltman does not oppose this request. Neiley also commented that he would support it because the applicant has made an effort to reduce the height of the building, whereas if they were pushed back into the legal building envelope, a two-story house would probably be built, and would have a more negative impact. Neiley made a motion to grant a 34.5 foot west side yard setback variance where 50 feet is required due to topographical hardships and prior review by the Planning & Zoning Commission, as per the plans submitted. Guy seconded the motion and all were in favor. Jenifer Shaw was present to request an 18 foot rear yard setback variance, a 35 foot north side yard setback variance, and a 15 foot south side yard setback variance, where 50 feet is required for all in the' RS-30 zone district, for an addition to an existing single-family residence. Shaw submitted a certified survey of the property. Per the survey, it was decided that a rear yard setback variance is not needed. Gull asked for any public comment. Joe Hawley, neighbor, was present with a survey of his property and was concerned that the proposed addition would affect his property. The proposed addition will not affect his property. After a brief discussion, 2 ~~~~~~ it was decided that what Shaw was requesting would comply with the required setbacks that pertain to her size lot. Guy made a motion to grant a 30 foot front yard setback variance, a 40 foot north side yard setback variance, and a 20 foot south side yard setback variance, due to downzoning and nonconforming lot size, subject to renotification, as per the plans submitted. Ostwald seconded the motion and all were in favor. Martha and Lawton Ferguson were present to request a 71 foot front yard setback variance and 10 foot west side yard setback variance, where 100 feet and 50 feet, respectively, are required in the RS-30 zone district, for an addition to a single-family residence and for construction of a proposed attached garage. This request would enable easier access to the garage and would eliminate the necessity to use a neighbor's drive. Ferguson submitted photographs of various angles of the location of the house and where the proposed additions would be located. Ferguson further explained the necessity for the requested variances. Ferguson also submitted letters of two neighbors approving the requested variances. Gull read the letters into the record. Lawton Ferguson 'stated that he could change the location of the garage, but this would entail cutting in a new road which would scar the hillside. Gull asked if there was any public comment; there was none. Neiley commented that he had trouble with this because of the variances requested on September 24, 1984 and September 29, 1987. Further discussion on these two meetings further clarified that what is being requested at this time is not the same that was requested in the two previous meetings. Guy made a motion to grant a 70 foot front yard setback variance and a 10 foot west side yard setback variance due to a noncon- forming lot size, as per the submitted plans. The change in request from the front yard setback variance requested and what is granted is to conform to the setbacks in the zone district that relate to the size of this specific lot. Neiley seconded the motion and all were in favor. Case #90-36. Cheever. Eddie. Lot R-57. Filino 8 Starwood Subdiv Lenny Oates, Attorney, and Jack Miller, Architect, were present representing Eddie Cheever, requesting a 65 foot front yard setback variance where 100 feet is required in the AF-1 zone district, for construction of an addition to a single-family residence. Oates submitted a letter from the owner authorizing them to proceed with Cheever's application for variance. 3 ooou~s Oates gave some history on the lot stating that it was downzoned in the 70's. Oates is asking for a variance to add an addition on the southwest side and a second story on an existing garage. The roof line would be lower than the original house. There were no comments from the public. Ellie Brickham, member of the Stanwood Homeowners Association, stated that the Association had no problem with this addition on condition that it was approved by ~.he Board of Adjustment. Neiley moved to grant a 68.5 foot front yard setback variance for the addition to the garage, and a variance for the front yard setback to permit the front entryway to protrude 4 feet from the front of the existing structure, as shown on the plans, due to downzoning and pending renotification. Renotification is necessary because the setback requested did not include proposed overhangs. Guy seconded the motion and all were in favor. tease #90-37 Hefner Robert A Tract R-B-B Stanwood Subd~v~s~on Tom Todd, Attorney, and Ellie Brickham, Architect, were present representing Robert Hefner, requesting a 23 foot front yard setback variance, where 100 feet is required, in the RS-20 zone district, for construction of an addition to a single-family residence. Todd gave a short history of this subdivision, similar to the case above. The location of this house is hidden from all adjacent neighbors and is tucked down on a ridge. Gull asked if there were any comments from the public and there were none. Guy made a motion to grant a 23 foot front yard setback variance, where 100 feet is required, due to downzoning. Ostwald seconded the motion and all were in favor. Mariano "Buddy" Lucero was present requesting a 60 foot front yard setback variance, a 45 foot north side yard setback variance and a 45 foot south side yard setback variance, where 100 feet, 50 feet and 50 feet is required in the RS-30 zone district, for construction of a single-family residence. Lucero gave some history to the property. Lucero stated that the past owner contacted the adjacent property owners to see if they wanted to purchase this small parcel of land. This parcel is less than .125 acres. The property is very small and Lucero wants to build a 750 square foot single-family residence. Lee Copeland, neighbor, was present to state her concerns about the closeness of this proposed house to the property lines. U ~U~u~® Copeland also stated that the tax records of this lot indicate that this is not a building site and she thinks that the lot is just too small to build upon. The zone district that would be closest to this size lot would be R-6 and requires a 30 foot front yard setback, a 5 foot side yard setback, and a 10 foot rear yard setback; therefore, the variances requested on this size lot are not unreasonable. Ostwald made a motion to grant a 60 foot front yard setback variance, a 45 foot north side yard setback variance and a 45 foot south side yard setback variance due to nonconforming lot size, per the plans submitted. Neiley seconded the motion and all were in favor. Jeff Coates was present requesting a 100 foot front yard setback variance, where 100 feet is required in the RS-30 zone district, for construction of an 8 foot high fence. Coates submitted a letter that he had drafted for all his neighbors, which they all signed, approving his request. Coates stated that this request is to conform with a Division of Wildlife requirement for an 8 foot fence to contain exotic animals, or to keep wildlife away from exotic animals. The exotic animals refer to the reindeer that Coates owns. The fence will be a wire mesh fence, which you can see through. Fences are permitted in the setback if they do not exceed 6 feet, but because the Division of Wildlife has requested an 8 foot fence, a variance is required. Gull asked if there was any public comment and there were none. Guy made a motion to grant a 95 foot front yard setback variance where 100 feet is required to comply with Division of Wildlife regulations. Neiley seconded the motion and all were in favor. ***************************************************************** The minutes of the August 2 meeting were approved with the corrections as noted.
