Minutes
Members Present:
Pitkin County
Board of Adjustment
April 26, 1988
Kandi Shaffran, Chairman
Peter Dobrovolny
Melinda Pearson
Joe Zanin
Chris Conrad, Pitkin County Zoning Enforcement Officer, was'
present with staff recommendations.
Shaffran called the meeting to order. Dobrovolny moved to
accept the minutes of the previous meeting with two corrections.
Pearson seconded the motion.' All were in favor and the motion
carried 4 - 0.
-ux -
Roger Wolf was present representing BMC West. The request was to
change the existing Boise Cascade signs to BMC West signs. The
sign on the building would have less square footage than the
present sign. The sign along Highway 82 would be exactly the
same size, After discussion about cut-out letters and painted
signs, Shaffran made a motion to approve the wall sign as
requested including approval of the 15" BMC letters 'due to the
fact it was an 'abbreviation, as illustrated on the application.
Zanin seconded the motion. Pearson felt that they could have a
sign that would conform to the code. She felt the code was clear
on cut-out letters and how the sign should be measured. She
continued that if a sign was bigger than the 6 sq. ft, there
should be a good reason. Wolf felt the code was not clear on
abbreviations. Dobrovolny felt that code was unclear, but did
not have a problem with this request. Shaffran called for a
vote. All were in favor and the motion passed 4 - 0.
tease # SR-na _ n.. __~ .,__ .. __
Charlie Schwaub and John Cottle. of Hagman-Yaw Architects were
present representing the Macks. Schwaub explained that it was an
requestgwasufortantaddifonaleady 132 sq. ft. over F.A.R. The
218 sq, ft. to enclose the entry-
waY• (350 sq. ft. total) yThere is an existing entry alley,
which the feel is a safet hazard.. He stated that they felt
they were in concurrence with 'the intent of the zoning codes
because they were not increasing the height, bulk 'or the mass of
the building. He submitted to the record a letter from the Red
Mountain Homeowners Association supporting the variance. Cottle
stated that the proposed entrywaq w'ou'ld not impact the road, it
I~ti ~ ~ ~ ~ ~~~ 'i
would be barely visible from the road. Zanin stated that he was
familiar to the house and agreed with Cottle. There were no"
objections from the neighbors. Shaffran stated that due to the
fact that there is no significant increase in height, mass or
bulk and that it will not impact the neighborhood, she would make
the motion to approve a 350 sq. ft. addition to the F.A.R.
Shaffran asked Cottle about other possible solutions. He said it
would be possible to remove all the overhang, but he didn't think
it would meet the intent of the code.
Zanin seconded the motion. Ail were in favor and the motion
carried 4 - 0.'
Case #RR-T1 - r~..i
., .,a , __. ,., - ---
Carl and Lou K1enk were present. They explained that after they
received a variance last year they had gone to see their ar-
chitect and changed the plans for their addition. They were now`
requesting a 49 ft. side yard setback variance and a 10 ft. rear
yard setback variance. Klenk explained they were basically doing
the same thing but on the other side of the house. The Klenks
explained where the proposed addition would be located. The
setback variance required had not changed since the last varian-
ce. Pearson pointed out that a variance was not necessary as long

future the Board should grant variances per exhibits submitted.
The motions can be as specific as desired. He .continued that its

the variances.'
Road.
Rory and Barbara Janz were present requesting a 25 ft. front yard
setback variance. The Balances explained that they were limited
by their choice of building sites by an avalanche area and by the
floodplain. There was trot a place to build that would not be in
the setback. The Balances submitted to the record a notarized
letter from A. Stuart Edgerly'III stating that he had no objec-
tion to the Balances building in the setback. Edgerly is the
adjacent neighbor most affected by the Balances choice of
building site. Balance also pointed. out that she would not have
to remove any of the old pine tress on the site. Dobrovoin,y
moved that a front ,yard setback of 75`ft. be granted, where 1'00
ft. are normally required, as depicted on the survey due to
topographical hardship. Zanin seconded the motion. All were in
favor. The motion carried 4 - 0.
~~~ ~~
John Bruegger was present. He was requesting that a 35 ft. front
yard setback be approved where a 100 ft, front yard setback is
normally required. Bruegger explained that a 100 ft. setback
would provide very poor solar potential. Zanin'pointed out that
there was no way to build and maintain the 100 ft. front yard
setback variance. Dabrovolny felt the hardship was topographi-
cal, the solar potential is marginal on_this site. Pearson
questioned whether such a large variance was necessary. Bruegger

were in favor. The motion carried 4 - 0.
Case # RR-7 n _ tt~_ , __-_ _ .. ~ .
Dan Levinson was present representing Alan Marcus. Levinson was
requesting that the applicant be allowed to determine which side
of the lot was the access side of the lot and therefore which
side of the lat would be the front yard side. All the houses in
the area access from Oak Ridge Road. If there were able to
consider that side of the lot the front, they would he able to
build within all the setbacks associated with the AF-1 zone. The
Board explained to Levinson how the front yard is determihed, it
is side that access is taken from, they did not have the author-
ity to change the definition of "front yard". Levinson felt it
would be closer to the intent of the code to change. the access
rather than to .grant such large setback variances. Levinson
pointed out with the setback variances he would be able to build
very close to all sides of the lot. Dobrovolny suggested, in
keeping with being more specific in the wording of motions,
tabling the case until a more specific request was granted.
Levinson stated that he could state definitively 'that th'e
building envelope would be 100 ft on the side and 30 ft. an the
front. Levinson con°tinued that this agreed with the 1041 plat;
the property had just gone through 1041 review for wildfire
hazard. Bobrovolny made. the motion that a 70 ft. front yard
setback variance,. for a 30 ft, front yard setback where a 100 ft.
front yard setback is usually required from Oak Ridge Drive be
granted and that the building envelope described be no closer
than 100 ft. from West Buttermilk Road. Zanin secgnded the
oration. Pearson felt it wasn't right to, have 2 one hundred feet
setbacks. Pearson also did not want to grant a 70 ft. variance
if a 50 ft. variance would be sufficient. Levinson felt that the
house could not be designed until the access side was determined.
He wanted #o mane. it clear that the house was not designed yet.
He continued that they were not intending to dodge the system.
All were in favor of Dobrovolny's motion. The motion carried 4 -
0.
~~
Robin Molny was present requesting a 70 ft. front yard setback
variance. Zoning for the property is AF-1 and requires a 10'0 ft.
front yard setback. Molny explained that the lot was very steep.
Observance of the 100 ft. setback would severely limit the solar
aspect. Observance of the setback would place the view plane of
the viewh eMolnylstatedtthatoheedba~ow the horizon and eliminate
not feel' the variance would
affect an ane

ce due to topographical hardship. Shaffran
seconded the motion. All were in favor and the motion passed 4 -
0.
Case #88-16 - The Inn at As en 21646 W. Hi hwav 82
Dick Rather and Diane Schweiner were present representing the Inn
at Aspen. Rather explained they were following their identfica-
tion/replacement schedule. They were requesting approval for 3
signs. Shaffran suggested reviewing each sign separately.

motion passed 4 - 0.
The second request was to replace the main sign on the face of
the building. The sign presently reads "Barrington s;" and they
would like to change to read "The Inn at Aspen". Rather ex-
plained that many people did not know what Barririgtons was, he
felt they would attract more busines's with the name of the hotel
rather than the name of the restaurant. They wanted to establish
the principal use of the building as a hotel. Dobrovolny
pointed out that according to the submission the sign was about
20 ft. within the 200 ft. setback. The sign would have been
within the 30 sq. ft. requirement except for the line underneath
the Inn at Aspen added an additional .75 sq. ft. Conrad said it
was open to interpretation whether the sign on the building, as a
flat wall sign and not a structure was subject to the Z00 ft.
setback. Rather stated the Inn had been there for 19 years.
Conrad stated that the sign and building were probably there
before the imposition of the 200 ft.''"setback, but he was not
sure. Pearson thought that it could be approved under down-
zoning. Conrad admitted`he didn't consider the setback
because the sign is on the building and the building had gto'stion
conform to the setback. There was, some discussion about how the
situation could have come about. Shaffran questioned if they
should be allowed 2 identification signs. Dobrovolny stated that
the code allows for 1 sign of 6 sq. ft. within the 20'0 ft.
setback. bobrovolny felt if the sign had been abandoned or
taken down for any length of time, they wouldn't be able to
approve the sign. Rather explained that they had been a sign
in that location since 1969. He continued that the sign had only
?; - i
been removed for a period of 4 months for construction in 1984.
Rather explained that it was a safety problem. People could not
see the sign until they were right in front of the building and
it had been the cause of many fender benders. Shaffran asked if
the sign conformed to the code, not considering the Z00 fit."
setback,. for cut-out letters. Schweiner explained that it did
conform except for the line underneath which added the extra .75
s4• ft. Zanin stated he did not have a problem with the request.
Pearson felt if they were going to encroach into the setback they
should at least conform to the size requirements.. Rather
explained that the line was .for conformity with all their logos.
Dobrovolny agreed with Pearson that it would set a precedent.
After discussion about various ways' to reduce the sg. footage,
Conrad reiterated the need for clarification of the sign code.
There was some, discussion that in order to be consistent with the
BMC request heard earlier in the meeting, that the extra .75
should be approved because it was replacing an existing sign.
Pearson moved to approve the main identification'sign on the
building as submitted on building permit application #11925.
Zanin seconded the motion. All were in favor and the motion was
approved 4 - 0.
The third request was for a sign on the back awning. This was on
the Buttermilk side of the building, well within the 200 ft.
setback. The problem is that customers did not know the res-
taurant existed. The sign would identify the building as a hotel
and restaurant. After some discussion about the 'sign code, there
was general agreement that clarification was needed. Shaffran
moved to table the request for the awning sign. Pearson seconded
the motion. All were in favor and the motion passed'4 - 0.
Conrad stated that he would have some clarification for the Board
by the next meeting.
A telephone message had been received earlier in the day from
Walter Mi17s, the property owner who had granted the easement.
Shaffran read the message into the record. It stated that he was
in Denver and could not make the meeting. He wanted the Board to
know that 'he had signed the easement agreement under duress and
wanted Rocky Mt. Natural Gas to wait to see where the highway was
going to be aligned. If the Board did grant the variance he
wanted to'make sure the building was completely concealed.
Conrad gave the Board some background information.. He stated
that 6lills had granted Rocky Mountain Natural Gas an easement.
The proposed location was in the Scenic Foreground and it may '
have 1041 considerations. Steven Shute was present representing
Rocky Mt. Natural Gas. He did want to explain to the Board what
they were doing, although he realized, the Board could nqt. make a
decision on the 'base that night. He stated he wa the Director of
Safety and Technical Services for Rocky Mt. NaturaQ Gas. Jim
Krohe was also present. He explained the main pipelines were
installed in the 1960s. Everything .that was. put in is too small.
They are trying to upgrade the service. The present border
station for Aspen is located at the corner of the Castle Creek
Bridge. The purpose of,a town border station is to measure the
gas and to drop the pressure o'f the gas. It is not a good
situation. There is no town border station. for Snowmass Village.
The pressure is not cut until the gas is up to the last hotel in
the village. It is a very dangerous situation, Since they need
to put in a station for both Aspen and Snowmass Village, it
makes sense to put both in the same place. The line from
Snowmass ', comes off at Brush Creek Road. Shey cannot, for techni-
cal reasons, put the line mare than a quarter of a mile from the
turn-off. There are not many locations to put the station. He
showed the Board the site and possible buildings. It is the site
that Mills had agreed to. It would not conflict with the train
site and was the least visible from Highway 82. Shute continued
t at for safet reasons the buildin could not b
submerged. Dobrovoln moved to table Case #88-1'7 until the next

passed 4 0.

Stan Mathis was present representing Joseph T1eMaria. He was
requesting a variance to the allowable floor area ratio. :Mathis
explained that the floor plan used to include a loft area of
approximately 400 sq. ft. They eliminated the loft area. The
loft area"had put them over the allowable FAR. He stated that
they had been caught in the change over between Patsy and Chris.
Patsy used to allow floor area over"'the allowable FAR, as long as
the amount of non-comformity'was not increased. They took the
loft out and there is a stairway on the north side of the house
that the water drains on the stairs. They would like to cover
the stairs and would add over 200 sq. ft. of area. They had
thought and had been told by Patsy Newbury that they could add
the extra area because they were removing the loft. Conrad does
not interpret the code the same way. Mathis felt the hardship
was a safety factor, it is not visible from Hunter Creek Road and
it is the only 'w ay to enter into the house,. except through the.. ,.
garage. Pearson poihted out that since they were above grade,
they should be 'included in the FAR. Mathis agreed. Mathis
stated that they were removing lower decks to remove floor area.
Mathis did not think this was"consistent with the intent of the
code. He again stated that the removal of the loft more than
g underneath to

p dined that they
came in and were doing remodeling within 'the existing envelope,
which is allowed and had been'pe'rmtted. Conrad does not know
how the present situation came to be. The existing bouse is over
the allowable F,A.R. so Conrad could not approve any additional
F.A.R. without Board of Adjustment approval. Pearson suggested
removing the overhangs. Mathis didn't feel that would accomplish

', ~k. ~ .a. r;,
what the code intended. Shaffran pointed out that. the code
probably did not intend for ''a house to be almosti 1000 sq. ft.
over the allowable F.A.R. Shaffran read a letter from Edgar J.
Robinson into the record. Mr. Robinson, an adjacent property
owner, had no objections to the variance. Danny Liccardi, the
general contractor for DeMaria pointed out they had given up the
mechanical room downstairs. "Pearson questioned the amount of the
variance requested. Mathis explained 5853 enclosed heated area
(current) less 383 sq. ft. for the loft area and 455 sq. ft. of
deck area covered by decks which adds up to 6308, making the
existing' house 982 sq. ft. over the allowable. flour area.
Pearson and Dobrovolny asked what the area required for the
exterior 'entry covered by roof was. Mathis replied 239 sq. ft.
The request was for the 238 sq. ft. for the entry and the decks
should not have be removed. There was some discussion about
whether what was already there should be approved. Liccardi
wanted to clarify that the lower decks were covered walltways and
the reasoln that they were there was because the hill was a drop
off and were necessary for access to the doors. Zanin agreed, he
stated that he was familiar with the house. Fearson asked if the
entry way, could be seen frgm the road. Mathis, 7anin az5d
Liccardi all stated that they did not think it was visible from
the road. Pearson made the motion tv grant the 239 sq. ft.
additional square footage for the construction of an exterior
covered stair as shown on the exhibit submitted due to safety
concerns and due to the fact that it cannot be seen from the
road. Dobrovvlny seconded the motion. All were in favor. The
motion passed 4 - 0.
Doug Boyles was present requesting a 40 ft. .front yard setback
for construction of a barn. He stated that his barn, built in
1979, had burned down in November and he wanted to use the
foundation to rebuilt the barn. He stated that the foundation
and slab were just waiting for a building. He could not push the
building back because he did not haves enough flat area. Shaffran
read a letter from Carolyn Casebeer and Suzanne green into the
record supporting the variance. Conrad submitted a picture of
the barn under construction. Boyles admitted that the barn was
almost rebuilt. Conrad stated that Boyles had worked with Patsy,
the issue was that the new barn was larger than the old barn and
needed a setbar_k variance. Boyles stated that he was not moving
any r.loser to the road with the addition. After discussion,
Zanin moved to grant a 40 ft. front yard sethack variance to
reconstruct. his barn. Pearson seconded the motion. All were in
favor and the motion passed 4 - 0.
Onsgard brought up a request from Ross Jefferys who wanted his
variance worded from the edge of the pavement. Jefferys had
researched past minutes and found that a similar variance had
been granted for a neighbor. After discussion, Shaffran moved to
reopen CAse # 8~i-05 to amend the motion to read that the request
for a 50 ft. front yard setback be measured from the edge of the
paved road, rather than the edge of the property. Dobrovolny
seconded the motion. All were in favor and the motion passed 4 -
0.
