ADMINISTRATIVE DECISION OF THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR OF
PITKIN COUNTY, COLORADO, APPROVING A SUBDIVISION EXEMPTION FOR A MINOR
PLAT AMENDMENT AND REPLACEMENT OF A LEGAL, NONCONFORMING STRUCTURE
FOR AMY AND NEAL BEIDLEMAN
Administrative Decision No. 6 ~ -2008
RECITALS
1. Pursuant to Section 2-30-20.g 5 of the Land Use Code, Amy and Neal Beidleman ("Applicant") have
applied to the Community Development Director of Pitkin County, Colorado ("Director") to amend
the Ardmore Subdivision plat to merge Lot 6, the "Open Area" parcel and the access and utility
easement pazcel. The Applicant seeks to amend the plat so it is clear that the three parcels are not
separately developable, prior to replacement of the existing residence.
2. The lot is located at 0120 Ardmore Drive, and is described as Lot 6, Ardmore Subdivision.
3. The property is within the R-15 zone district. Lot 6 contains 8,834 square feet; the "Open Area" pazcel
contains 2,740 squaze feet, and the access and utility easement parcel contains 8,755 square feet.
Amended Lot 6 will contain 20,329 square feet.
4. The BOCC approved the Ardmore Subdivision Plat in 1972; the plat is recorded in Plat Book 4 at Page
311. The house was constructed in 1973. A total of 3,032 square feet of floor azea exist on the
properly, which exceeds the allowable floor area. Since the house was constructed prior to the adoption
of floor area limitations in the R-15 zone district (1974), it is considered a legal, nonconforming
structure. The Board of Adjustment granted floor azea and setback variances pursuant to Resolution
No. 98-31, to accommodate construction of a garage in the "Open Area."
5. The Director finds that plat amendment is consistent with Sec. 2-30-20(g)(5) of the Code: it increases
or does not affect the degree of compliance with the standards of the Code, is being made to a recorded
plat, and is consistent with representations made during the original subdivision review.
6. The Director further finds that the replacement of the residence complies with Sec. 9-50-20 of the Code,
which permits replacement of a nonconforming structure with insignificant modifications, as long as the
nonconformity is not increased. The floor area will not be expanded.
THE DIIECTOR DOES HEREBY APPROVE the Beidleman Minor Plat Amendment and
replacement of a legal, nonconforming structure, subject to the following conditions, which shall run with
the land and be binding on all successors in interest:
1. Prior to issuance of a building permit to construct a new residence, the Applicant shall be required to
submit for approval by the County Attorney and Community Development Department an amended
plat. The above referenced approvals shall be a condition precedent to finalization and recordation of
the plat. The mylar copy of the plat must be signed by the owner prior to submittal for recording. The
plat shall be amended as follows:
A. Include an easement for the City of Aspen water line.
B. Amend the references to the 7.5' and 15' "lot line easements" to "utility easements."
C. Change "Access and Utility Parcel" to "Access and Utility Easement."

Re: Beidleman Administrative Decision 40-2008
Dear Suzanne:
Amy, Neal and I would like to thank you and the Community Development Department
for your assistance in completing the Beidleman land use review in such a timely manner.
The land use and building permit applications were submitted in March and completed at
the end of May. The expeditious and efficient review by the Planning, Zoning and
Building sections of the Community Development Department should enable the
Beidleman family to raze and reconstruct their home within a year of submission of the
land use review application. Timing is critical to the Beidleman family since they need to
temporarily rent housing while there house is being reconstructed and temporary housing
in the Aspen Area is expensive. This project could not be completed without the
assistance of the Community Development Department.
The Beidleman Administrative Decision 40-2008 includes condition 2 which reads:
"The allowable floor area shall be limited to 3,032 square feet, as calculated
by the Land Use Code."
Recital # 4 explains that a total of 3,032 squaze feet of floor area exists on the property
which exceeds the allowable floor area in the R-15 zone district. We would like to
clarify the quantity of existing development on the property so there is no ambiguity in
the future.
The current improvements as of May 20, 2008 (date of the Administrative Decision)
include 3,032 squaze feet of floor area as defined in Attachment 1, the existing Pitkin
County Land Use Code floor area definition. In addition to the 3,032 square feet of floor
area, there is a gazage which contains 933 gross square feet. A total of 750 square feet of

the garage space is exempt from floor area and 183 square feet of space has been
included in the 3,032 square feet of floor area.
Please place this letter in the Beidleman land use file (parcel ID # 2737 181 OS 006) so
there is a record of the existing floor area and exempt space on the property prior to
demolition and reconstruction of the existing house.
Thanks again for your assistance.

perimeter of each story of the structure. This exemption cannot be used to transfer space
between floors. In the VR and VC zone districts, an overhang of up to eight (8) feet on the street
or back side of a structure shall be exempt from the calculation of floor area. Roof and deck
overhangs greater than eight (8) feet may only be converted to enclosed interior areas when the

the property under Table 5-1.
(c) Decks, Balconies, Stairways and Similar Features
(1) Structures that exceed thirty (30) inches above natural or finished grade, and that are not

stairways, and similar features with a horizontal projection greater than eight (8) feet may
only be converted to enclosed interior areas when the resulting floor area does not exceed
maximum floor area that would otherwise be applicable to the property under Table 5-1.

feet above finished or existing grade, whichever is most restrictive. At least seventy (70)
percent of the area of such structures shall be open to the sky. There shall be no more than
two (2) layers of structure above the column capitals. Principal beams shall be a minimum
of ten (10) feet on center and have a maximum dimension of six (6) inches in width and

RESIDENCES
Spaces below grade shall be exempt from Floor Area calculations for up to a maximum of
four thousand (4,000) square feet, provided such spaces comply with the following
requirements:
(a) Exempt below grade spaces are located below both the natural and finished grades. If
any part of the below-grade space is exposed above natural or finished grade (such as
walk-out basement, walls or courts) the entire below-grade area shall be included in the
floor area calculations. Exempt Below-grade spaces are no greater than twenty (20)
feet in depth and no more than a single story. For purposes of this definition, "story'
shall mean that portion of a building included between the upper surface of a floor and
the upper surface of the floor next above.
(b) Exempt below grade spaces are accessed only by stairway or elevator from the story
directly above, or through a door from a garage adjacent to the below-grade area.
(c) Exempt below grade spaces are no greater than twenty (20) feet in depth and no more
than a single story. For purposes of this definition, "story" shall mean that portion of a
building included between the upper surface of a floor and the upper surtace of the floor

be exposed.
y
(i) Garages up to seven hundred and fifty (750) square feet may be incorporated into
below-grade space and shall not affect this exemption as long as the only sections of
building so exposed are directly related to the garage structure.
(j) Floor area below natural and finished grade which exceeds the four thousand (4,000)
square foot exemption shall count toward the calculation of allowable floor area.
(2) GARAGES AND CARPORTS
For the purposes of calculating floor area ratio and allowable floor area for a lot where
the principle use is single family residence, garage and carport floor area shall be
exempted up to a maximum of seven hundred fifty (750) squaze feet. On a lot which
contains a duplex, garage and carport floor area shall be exempted up to a maximum of

Re: Beidleman First Amendment to the Ardmore Subdivision Plat Lot 6
Deaz Suzanne:
Amy and Neal Beidleman (applicant) aze the owners of a residential duplex located at
0120 Ardmore Drive. The property is legally described as Ardmore Subdivision Lot 6
(PID # 2737 181 OS 006). The applicant is represented by Davis Horn Incorporated in
the First Amendment to the Ardmore Subdivision Plat Lot 6.
In 1998, the applicant received a County approval to build a gazage. During the plan
review process, the applicant agreed to amend the Ardmore Subdivision Plat Lot 6 to
indicate that the three pazcels owned by the applicant had merged and were not separately
developable. This land use application seeks to amend the plat so it is cleaz that the three
pazcels aze not separately developable.
Attachment 1 is vicinity map which depicts the location of the property. Attachment 2 is
a copy of the Ardmore Subdivision Plat recorded at Plat Book 4, Page 311 in the Pitkin
County Clerk and County Recorder's office. The Plat was approved by the Board of
County Commissioners on October 24, 1972.
Attachment 3 is a copy of the First Plat Amendment to the Ardmore Subdivision Lot 6.
The amended plat shows that Pazcel 3 of Lot 6 is encumbered with a 30 foot Access and
Utility easement and includes the following Plat Note.
"Lot 6 of the Ardmore Subdivision is comprised of Pazcel 1, Parcel 2 and Pazcel
3. The three pazcels have merged as one lot and may not be developed
sepazately."

Subdivision Exemptions for Minor Plat Amendments
Section 2-30-20 (g)(5)
This section of the application demonstrates compliance with Section 2-30-30(8)(5) of
the Pitkin County Land Use Code. The standazds appeaz in bold followed by the
applicant's responses.
A subdivision exemption for a minor plat amendment may be approved if:
(a) It is necessary to corcect an inadvertent surveying ercor to a recorded plat that
has been approved by Pitkin County, where the ercor was not intended to
circumvent the provisions of this Land Use Code, the correction Increases or
does not substantially affect the degree of compliance with the standards of this
Land Use Code; and the revised final plat will comply with the final plat standards
of Pitkin County Land Use Application Manual; or
This standazd is not applicable to the site.
(b) The amendment increases or does not affect the degree of compliance with the
standards of this Land Use Code; and the amendment Is being made to a
recorded plat that has been approved by Pitkin County; and the amendment is
consistent with representations made during the conceptual and detailed
subdivision reviews whichever Is applicable.
The Ardmore Subdivision Plat file is not available in the Community Development
Department. The filing system is unreliable for land use cases considered in the 1972.
Attachment 3 shows the Planning and Zoning Commission approved the subdivision on
October 18, 1972. The minutes of the October 18, 1972 Planning Commission aze
missing from the Clerk and Recorder's micro fiche files. Our review of the minutes prior
to October 18, 1972 shows no record of the Ardmore Subdivision being considered by
the Planning and Zoning Commission prior to October 18, 1972.
The Board of County Commissioner's considered and approved the Subdivision on
October 24, 1972. Attachment 4 is a copy of the minutes of the meeting for October 24,
1972. The proposed Plat amendment is not inconsistent with the representations made at
the October 24, 1972 Boazd of County Commissioner's meeting.
On March 24, 2008, the applicant will be submitting a building permit application to
reconstruct the existing duplex. Joanna Schaffner has agreed to accept and review the
building permit application, however the issuance of the building permit is contingent
upon approval of this Minor Plat Amendment. The applicant would appreciate it if the
review of this land use application can be completed to coincide with the issuance of the
building permit. The Beidleman family will be temporarily relocating for the
reconstruction of their home. It would be ideal to start construction in the late spring to
reduce the amount of time that the family is in a temporary home.

Bolloxing is s letter reaaived by the Commissioners
from Dr. Aobert Barnard:
SE is with regret that xe ask you to re-
vert the zoning on our 13 acre parcel of land
in Woody Creek from AR-2 back to AF-2 as per
our original agreement. Because of the harnas-
ment and legal ^tumbling blocks put in our xay
during the past 2 years by Mr. Dxight 9he11-
man and his cohorts, xe have become disillus-
ioned in our efforts to provide xorkar housing
in Pitkin County. Although xe have not yet
resolved the laxsuit brought by Kr. Shellman,
xhich challenged the AR-2 zoning qou gave us,
xe x111 continue to pay our haif of the legal
aost• until the matter is disposed of. We
still feel that the oounty desperately needs
this H.U.D. worker housing with apartments
from 1 bedroom for #96 -- par month to #136 --
per month for a four Dedroon unit.
Hoxever xe spent 2 years and thousands of
dollars in a genuine attempt to bet the fob
done, but have had little success so far.
We also aypreciate the fact that you, the
countq commissioners, have hung in there in
thls matter Sn spite of the tremendous pres-
sure that has been Drought to bear on you by
rival developers, who have tried to kill this
project.
There being no further business, the meeting xas adjourned.

AGREEMENT FOR PAYMENT OF LAND USE APPLICATION FEES
PITKIN COUNTY (hereinafter COUNTY) and ~'
(hereinafter APPLICANT) AGREE AS FOLLOWS:
~- N ea, l `3e, ~ r{ ~~ m u ~
APPLICANT has submitted to COUNTY an application for S~-~.b~~ J~ 1 ~ ~~
'^ ~cr M' ^"~ PINr /}~+^~n ~/~^"',(hereinafter, THE PROJECT).
2. APPLICANT understands and agrees that Pitkin County Ordinance No. 008-2008 establishes a
fee structure for land use applications and the payment of all processing fees is a condition precedent to a
determination of application completeness. The fee structure is based on the County's policy that
development shall pay, in full, the cost of development review in Pitkin County. Fees have been set to be
consistent and fair to the public and to reflect the expense incurred in providing such services to the public.
3. APPLICANT and COUNTY agree that because of the size, nature or scope of the proposed
project, it may not be possible at the time of application to ascertain the full extent of the costs involved in
processing the application.
4. APPLICANT and COUNTY agree that fees charged for the processing of land use applications
shall accumulate if an application includes more than one type of land use review.
5. COUNTY and APPLICANT further agree that it is impracticable for COUNTY staff to complete
processing or present sufficient information to the Planning Commission and/or Board of County
Commissioners to enable the Planning Commission and/or Board of County Commissioners to make legally
required findings for project approval, unless current billings are paid in full prior to decision.
6. Therefore, APPLICANT agrees that in consideration of the COUNTY'S waiver of its right to
collect full fees rtor to a determination of application completeness, APPLICANT shall pay a base fee in the
amount of $ ~~3 which is based on _ hours of staff time, and if actual time spent by staff to process the
application exceeds the average number of hours by more than 20%, then the COUNTY will bill the
APPLICANT quarterly for the additional time spent. Such periodic payments shall be made within 30 days of
the billing date. APPLICANT further agrees that failure to pay such accrued costs shall be grounds for
suspension of processing.

RE: Beidleman Minor Plat Amendment
Pazcel ID# 2737-181-OS-006
I have reviewed the above referenced application and offer the following comments.
1. The development on the pazcel currently exceeds the allowed floor azea for the
R-15 zone district. This additional floor azea was approved by the Boazd of
Adjustment in 1998, partially based on the representation that the Beidleman's
would amend the plat of the Ardmore subdivision to reflect that Lot 6, the "Open
Area" pazcel and the access pazcel have merged. In 2003, staff followed up with
a letter informing the applicant that the plat amendment was still outstanding and
had to be done prior to redevelopment of the site. The purpose of this plat
amendment is to reflect that the three parcels described above have merged and
aze now considered the revised Lot 6 of the Ardmore Subdivision.
2. The new lot size should be stated. Also, the amount of the access easement
should be specified for floor azea calculation purposes.
3. The City of Aspen Water Department was working with the applicant to locate a
waterline across this parcel. This easement does not appear on this plat.
4. A power pole is located in the middle of the 30 foot access easement. The pole
should be relocated or the power lines should be undergrounded to remove this
obstruction from the easement.
5. References to the previous parcels should be deleted, and the lot lines should
reflect the revised parcel.
6. All references to plowed azeas should be removed.
7. The references to the 7.5' and 15' "lot line easements" should be changed to
"utility easements".
8. There are at least two azeas where development encroaches into the 30 foot access
easement.
9. As evidenced by the plow lines and improvements within the easement, it does
not appear that this easement has been developed or maintained in a manner
which provides adequate access to the subject lot or the other three lots it serves.
10. Note that the Assessor's statement included in the application identifies this lot as
having a "duplex/triplex improvement".

Subject: Beidleman
Here is some additional information on the Beidleman floor area situation.
The following calculation is offered by the Beidleman's architect.
Lot 6 8,833.
Open Area +2 740
Total Lot Area 11,573 sf
R-15 Ratio .16
Total Allowed Floor Area 1,852 sf
Existing residence contains 2,849 sf
Total garage area contains + 933 sf
Minus garage exemption - 750 sf
Total existing floor area 3,032 sf
The existing floor area on the site exceeds the allowed floor area by 1,180 sf! The applicant is proposing to
replace this square footage with an additional 660 square feet of below grade area exempt from floor area
calculations.
The applicant has not demonstrated how the house came to exceed the allowed floor area. I suspect that the
original garage which was attached to the house and exempt from floor area calculations was converted to the
illegal dwelling unit without permits. Later, two new garages were constructed.

Ok, after some additional research, I offer the following.
The area presently known as The Ardmore Subdivision was first zoned R-15 in 1955. The Ardmore Subdivision
was platted in 1972. The house was originally constructed in 1973. Apparently, floor area limitations weren't
adopted in the R-15 zone district until 1974, pursuant to BOCC 74-16.
Please include these comments with my previous memo to you.

Subject: Beidleman Building Permit Application
Lance, Suzanne & Joanna:
I spoke to AI Beyer after my conversation with Lance this afternoon. Amy and Neal do not need a duplex. There
plan is to replace the existing non-conforming structure as a single family dwelling. As you know, we cannot find
any building permit information for the house, but the Pitkin County Assessor's records show the building existed
in 1973.
You will recall that AI, Neal and I initiated the building permit process this winter. A key consideration for Amy and
Neal was whether the replacement of the house was in compliance with the Section 9-50-20 c of the Code,
Restoration, Repair, Replacement, Remodel and Additions to Legal Non-conforming structures.
The key Code standards are as follows:
1. Legally Created - It appears that a single family dwelling unit was legally created on the site.
2. No Expansion of Floor Area -Floor area expansion is not proposed.
3. Increase in Mass of Structure within the setbacks -Increasing the mass of the structure within the
setbacks is not proposed. In fact, the structure is located entirely outside the setbacks.
Expansion of the Structure where development standards or the building Codes prohibit development -
Such expansion is not being proposed.
The proposed building plans comply with the Code standards. Additional basement space which does not meet
the definition of floor area is proposed, but floor area of the structure remains the same. There is no increase in
mass within setbacks.
Hopefully, you will determine that the proposed replacement structure complies with the Code as determined
earlier this year.
Amy and Neal have rented a place to live while the house is being replaced. They are preparing to move out next
week. It will be very expensive for the Beidleman family to go through a BOCC revise at this time.
The Restoration with Significant Change issue has taken Amy and Neal by surprise. Based upon our discussions
this winter, we though that the Plat amendment was the only required land use review. If the replacement of the
structure had been determined to be significant, we would have included it in the plat amendment land use
application.
