Members Present: Jamie Brewster Michael Cooper Bob Throm Pat McAllister, Co-Chair Members Absent: Rick Head, Co-Chair Isabel Day Jim Rifkin Siff; Joanna Schaffner, Zoning Officer and acting secretary McAllister opened the meeting at 5:30 pm. 06-2007 17 Mountain Laurel Court, LLC Lot 72, Block 2, Mountain Valley Subdivision The applicant has failed to meet the posting requirement and therefore requests that this meeting be tabled until later this month. McAllister moved to table the case to December 17, 2007. Throm seconded the motion and it passed 4-0. 07-2007 Anthony and Terri Caine 60 Wildwood Lane, Aspen Planner, Alan Richman was present with the owners and their architects, Jim Gulley, Rich Keilman, and Charles Cunniffe, to request a 17 foot rear yazd setback variance where 30 feet is required for this 4.55 acre lot in the AR-10 zone district. The Affidavit of Posting was submitted. There were no members of the public present to comment on this case. A letter of support from the East of Aspen caucus was included in the application. Richman showed the Boazd a vicinity map of the subject parcel illustrating how it is located neaz Difficult Lane and is visually isolated from surrounding lands. The proposed house will be located in the same general location as the existing house. Richman explained how the site is impacted by mapped avalanche hazard; the most recent event being in 1965. According to avalanche expert, Art Meazs, more than 80% of the site is located in the blue or red zones. These zones aze accurate to within 100 feet. ~~«.~G Therefore, the house is being located in the northwest corner of the site into the rear yard setback to avoid the avalanche zones. The applicant proposes to furflier mitigate the hazazd through the use of ponds and reinforced constrncfion techniques. Additionally, the site is impacted by the 100 foot stream setback. The applicant believes that since the house is surrounded by USFS lands, the variance will be of no detriment to the public good. Cooper asked if a deflective berm will be constructed. Richman replied that the ponds and other landscape features will aid in mitigating the hazazd, but that no berm is planned. Schaffner asked whether overhangs were included in the request and the azchitects said yes. Brewster then clarified that the request is fora 17 foot variance, not 13 feet as noticed. She asked if the western most part of the house could be shifted eastward to avoid the setback encroachment. Cunniffe stated that to swing the garage toward the east decreases the turn azound needed for a fire turnaround. Throm made a motion to approve the request based on topography and avalanche hardships. McAllister stated that he had no issue with the request, but noted that topography wasn't the hazdship, the avalanche hazazd was the hazard. He suggested amending the previous motion to include avalanche hazard. Throm revised the motion as suggested. Cooper seconded the motion and it passed 4-0. A motion was made to approve the minutes from the April and August meetings. The motion was seconded and it 4-0. There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned. **~**s***m***~x*s**m*xa****sx*x**********rx***m**:*m**a**ax*mm*s***x**** Respectfully submitted, t.,t.Etfi ~/4!C Joanna Scher, date Acting Secretary Approved as submitted Approved with noted change(s) O~ t McAllister, d to Co-Chair "`~~~)`,~JK~ i DATE .) -c~ i "~ PITI~I COUNTY BOARD OF A.DNSTI~IENT Application Form REPRESENTATIVE ~+1-~~^ R•~~"°""^ ~~""^"` ^ 1~R~•us PHONE ~ a~o - r~ a s E-NLAIL R(t.L~.M...,I. e 5o Q(L.s..~e,'C FAX ~i 3v -++~5 MAILING ADDRESS p'°'~ 3 ~' +3 ~ ~"` ~-~ ~+ v +~- OWNER \-~.I.~`°".,\ l~.o~~2t~~ C.ra~^c PHONE ~+~3- \~i`~o NL4ILINGADDRESS ~.o. ~ux +i\~ v~oo0~ (,~~i+c, Lo `rs\(~SS LEGAL DESCRIPTION S el ~~A ~~ SUBJECT PARCEL ADDRESS ~ o w .gyp l.a il~ o ~-'+`^o PARCEL ID # ~` ~ 3~ `~'~ 3 ~ °DO ~ ZONE DISTRICT LOT SIZE ~~ 5 5 P+c,fLe S SIGNATURE ~'x (To be completed by the Zoning Department) CASE # ~ % ".;2GG Requesting: ' Front Yazd Setback Variance, where ' is required. ~~' Rear Yard Setback Variance, where ,2~` ' is required.

A complete legal description of the subject property is attached hereto as Exhibit #1. The application is being submitted by the owners of the property, Anthony and Terri Caine (hereinafter, "the applicants"). A letter from the applicants authorizing Alan Richman Planning Services to submit this application on their behalf is attached as Exhibit #2. The applicants request a variance to reduce the rear yard setback for the property from 30' to 15', to allow development to occur within the recently designated building envelope for the property. Amore complete description of the proposed variance follows below. Background The subject property is zoned AR-10, which has a minimum lot size of 10 acres. It contains approximately 4.55 acres of land, making it anon-conforming sized lot of record. It is improved with asingle-family residence, as shown on the attached improvement survey. The applicants recently received Activity Envelope/Site Plan Review approval from the Pitkin County Hearing Officer to redevelop the property, pursuant to Hearing Officer Determination _-2007 (see Exhibit #3). The determination and site plan documenting this approval are still in the process of being recorded, so I have attached copies of the latest versions of these documents that are available. We would expect to have recorded versions of these documents available prior to the public hearing. ~s(.9~6`.QB Ms. Joanna Schaffner October 26, 2007 Page Two The site plan illustrates how the applicants propose to redevelop the property. It shows that the Hearing Officer approved a building envelope that is located in the northwest corner of the property, generally where the existing residence is located. The primary factor that determined the location of the building envelope is the avalanche hazard that is mapped for this property. An avalanche passed through this property in 1965. This was a very destructive, high energy event that originated in the McFarlane Gulch drainage. It took out a large section of the forest and passed relatively close to where the existing house is located (approximately 200' to the south). About a decade later the County approved a 1041 hazard review application for this property allowing the existing house to be built in a location outside of the avalanche path. The applicants engaged Arthur I. Mears. P.E. to study the avalanche hazard on this property and to identify the appropriate manner in which it could be redeveloped. A copy of his report is attached as Exhibit #4. In this report, Mr. Mears has mapped the red and blue avalanche hazard zones. The map shows that the northwest corner of the property, where the existing house is located, is the only area of the property that is located outside of the design-avalanche blue zone and is the most suitable place for re-development to occur. The blue zone line was used to demarcate the proposed building envelope and proposed building footprint, which ensure that the new house will be located to avoid the avalanche hazard. However, Mr. Mears report points out that due to the potential volume of the avalanche hazard and the lack of terrain barriers to its movement, this line should not be assumed to be precise, and could vary by as much as 30 meters (100'). To properly plan for this uncertainty, the applicants have agreed to create decorative ponds to the southeast of the house that will be drained in the winter. Mr. Mears has determined that the ponds will catch some of the avalanche debris and dissipate some of the energy from an avalanche. The applicants have also agreed to structurally reinforce the new residence, including the walls and glass panels that would face toward the avalanche path, to ensure the structural integrity of the house is maintained in the event of a natural disaster. As the site plan illustrates, the building footprint approved by the Hearing Officer is 15' from the rear property line, where the Code would require a 30' setback. Locating the house in this manner has proven necessary for the applicants to stay as far back from the avalanche hazard as possible. Locating the house in this area also ensures compliance with the County's new 100' setback from the Roaring Fork River. Therefore, the applicants seek a reduction in the rear yard setback from 30' to 15', to enable the property to be re-developed in the safest possible way. The applicants' responses to the Code standards for granting of variances follow below. i • Ms. Joanna Schaffner October 26, 2007 Page Three Response to Code Standards Section 7-10-030 (c) (2) of the Land Use Code provides the standards by which the Board of Adjustment considers applications for variances. This section provides that the Board may grant variances: "Where, by reason of unusual narrowness, shallowness, or shape of a specific piece of property at the time of enactment of the regulation, or by reason of unusual topographic conditions or other situation or condition of such piece of property, the strict application of any regulation would result in peculiar practical difficulties to, or undue hardship upon the owner of the property... ". In order to grant the Variance, the Board is also required to find that the relief can be granted to the applicant: "Without substantial detriment to the public good and without substantially impairing the intent and purpose of the Comprehensive Plan and the Land Use Code". With respect to the first standard, the applicants believe there are unusual situations or conditions causing practical difficulties or hardships for the owner. These unusual situations and conditions have been described above, and include the fact that this property is nearly completely encumbered by avalanche hazard, making the vast majority of the property unsuitable for development. The only area where a building envelope could be designated is the northwestern corner of the property. The applicant has been able to locate the vast majority of the house to comply with all of the applicable County setbacks, including the front and side yard setbacks and the stream setback. However, the very back portion of the house protrudes into the rear yard setback. With respect to the second standard, we have provided you a copy of a vicinity map that we have prepared using the County's GIS. It shows the isolated location of this property. The property is completely surrounded on three sides by U.S. Forest Service lands. There are no houses located within several hundred feet of the proposed house, and none of the surrounding neighbors can see the house location, due to the dense forest that surrounds the property. Therefore, there will be no perception of this reduced setback by any neighbor and no impact on the public whatsoever. This helps to explain why the East of Aspen Caucus has written a letter expressing their support for the proposed variance (see Exhibit #5).

Hyman Ave. Aspen, CO 81611 RE: Caine residence--Avalanche-hazard evaluation and structural mitigation Dear Jim: The attached report summarizes my previous evaluations of avalanche hazard, risk and mitigation at the Caine property. Details are in the report, but are summarized as follows: a. The Caine building site and the existing house are outside of the red and blue zones as delineated in my study of the property. However, because of the volume of a potential avalanche, these mapped zones are imprecise and a 100-foot wide safety zone should be added; b. Because of this uncertainty structural (detached or reinforced design) mitigation should be used to protect the new house; c. Mitigation could consist of a structural berm (cut & fill structure), reinforced building, excavated ponds east of the building, or combinations of some of these techniques; d. Avalanche design loads have been calculated; these loads have been used in design by the structural engineer (Studio NYL of Boulder, CO) to resist the loads and prevent major structural failure from avalanche impact; and e. Small debris flows may also reach the building; mitigation for debris- flow protection is proposed in this report. Sincerely, Arthur I. Mears, P.E. Avalanche-control engineer cc: Alan Richman ~~.~U-eV~l '.. 1 AVALANCHE EXPOSURE OF THE PROPOSED CAINE RESIDENCE The Caine property and proposed residence are located on the northwestern edge of the McFarlane Creek alluvial fan }I`jyFigure 1). - 4 6 6 6 ~. a a ~ ~) s e r t, e - ~ ~ ~ 500 Ft~,: '` I A ° ~,~ ExisYmg House ~ 4 \~y* •• Tj McFarlan@ Gulch red and b ones J+~ . ~ ~ _ ,`~ u s • ~ KW E"- ~, y 1 '~5 ~ fe` a+" LL A. ~ e ~• ~~ '~ '~ 2: ~' ~` c, s - ~ , i %,~ a^° - The design-magnitude avalanche path, delineation of red and blue zones, property boundaries and existing house are shown on Figure 1. Avalanche limits have been determined by (a) documentation of a major avalanche that occurred in March,1965, (b) computations of avalanche dynamics utilizing a Swiss avalanche-dynamics simulation model (ANAL-1 D), and (c) experience with similar avalanches in Colorado. The existing house on the northwestern corner of the property (shown on Figure 1) and the proposed house are both located immediately north of the design- avalanche blue zone. The proposed house would therefore require no mitigation if the avalanche map is assumed to be precise. However, this avalanche path may spread somewhat farther to the north and south due to its volume and the fact that terrain barriers to avalanche spreading do not exist on this gentle alluvial fan. Because of the inherent uncertainty of specifying the boundaries of such a large avalanche, I assumed the edges of the design avalanche should be assumed correct to plus or minus 30m (100ft) at the house elevation of 8,060 feet. The existing house is therefore also within this 100-foot wide area. There is a 50% chance that the avalanche boundaries drawn on Figure 1 could be exceeded and a 50% chance it would not extend as far to the north. Because of this exposure to I recommend that structural mitigation be used to protect the proposed house. Mitigation options are discussed in Section 2. 2 STRUCTURAL MITIGATION OPTIONS FOR SNOW AVALANCHES Mitigation options include: (a) construction of a berm (or cut/fill structure) parallel with the avalanche and roughly 100 feet south of the proposed house, (b) direct reinforcement of the proposed building walls, windows, and doors for design- avalanche impact and depositional forces, (c) construction of two decorative ponds to the south of the house that would catch some of the design-avalanche volume, and (d) some combination of "a" through "c." These options are summarized below. 2.1 Berm (cut/fill structure) This option depends on design-avalanche flow height, velocity, berm position, and berm orientation. To provide the most accurate and reliable estimates of avalanche flow depth, the avalanche-dynamics simulation model evaluated the effect of the deep McFarlane Gulch channel (through which the avalanche descends) and the thickness of the new snow slab (avalanche volume) during release conditions. To be effective, a berm would be located about 100 feet (+ or -) south of the house and parallel with the avalanche blue zone boundary shown of Figure 1. It would start on the uphill side near the property line and extend approximately 200-300 feet past the house, remaining 100 feet (+ or -) south of it. The berm would be 13.4 feet high at the upper end and decrease to 9.1 feet high at the lower end. The heights could be achieved by building the berm on top of the existing ground or by a cuUfill structure consisting of a broad cut on the side away from the house and a fill on the side toward the house. This second option would reduce the visual impact of a high berm as viewed from the house but would require a wide area "scraped" into the terrain on the opposite side. Berms have been widely used and proven effective internationally. They would be effective if built to the correct dimensions at this site. However I do not consider a berm or a cuUfill structure to be a desirable option in this case. The design avalanche is by definition a rare event but the avalanche-defense structure would always be in place and visible, even on the typical seasons with moderate snow depths and throughout the spring, summer and fall. ,jf_+iJ:,i~~i + 2.2 Reinforcement of building surfaces exposed to impact A total of 12 surfaces of the proposed house (surfaces "A" through "L" on Figure 2) could be designed for avalanche impact and depositional forces. Magnitudes and heights of reinforced walls are provided in Table 1.

It is comprised of (a) H1, the depth of the snow on ground (4.9ft) plus flow depth of the avalanche (from the simulation) and (b) H2, the climbing height or energy head of the avalanche. Impact pressure decreases linearly from H1 up to the maximum impact height H2. The maximum impact pressure (Pmax) acts from grade up to the top of H1. The magnitudes of the parameters Pmax, H1 and H2 vary with loading surface A through L considered. They are shown diagrammatically in Figure 3. 0 00 _.. ,, `~~ii1.~c 4 J FIGURE 3. Vertical distribution of normal avalanche pressures on walls. Pressure magnitudes are given in Table 1. The loads specified in Table 1 are impact loads. They increase from zero to the maximum specified in the table in approximately 1 second. Because they are impact in nature, they may require adjustment by an impact factor, K'. Therefore final determination of the design load PD may require adjustment as given in equation 1, where PD is the final design load: PD = Pmax * K. (1) Note that this adjustment in the loads of table 1 is the responsibility of the structural engineer. It may be accommodated in various ways or disregarded if not thought to be needed. 2.3 Use of decorative ponds as avalanche dissipaters Decorative ponds approximately 10 feet deep could be built on the southeast side of the house (Figure 4). They would dissipate some avalanche energy and reduce substantially the loading requirements of Table 1. ~~ R~ rr . ~ ~r l~ ~f` r.~ 1 t.~, ill 'W i ddd111 Ifj i ~' o n iky,. oz .'0-'.Y -; ~.~'. .. j,i Ira! ` i - Q~ i r ~( c~r.R. ~ ~` ~ ~. r ~J~ ~ ,.~ ~ 1 t C PIA1.1 v op „y. liwaNCe. ~ .,. ., ~I .. ~ ~ o ~s'ru <~i\ l~i~':-2i:-: ,..i~ ~~,~: <-tom, -.. l- ,~ ~. ` 1~',y~~ yn 2 R ~ p~ N26 ~If ~'-~ J ~\ \ ~ ~.`..\ 11`1 e~~ y> ..r Ifl::: , n cc},~ ,v~, nd _ ~ >:.y„•.; ti y< v[ ' Ilf ~ i~ T- ~ ~ %, , FIGURE 4.

Loads and load heights are decreased from those in Tabte 7. The decorative ponds are not essential if the walls can be built sufficiently strong without the ponds. To be effective, these ponds must be fully drained by the start of avalanche season in November. As further discussed in Section 3, the decorative ponds could also be used as part of debris-flow defense system. 3 DEBRIS FLOW DEFENSE The proposed house will also be located in the path of a relatively active debris flowZ. Pitkin County's maps do not identify this site as being subject to debris flow hazards; however field investigations demonstrated the presence of the hazard and the need for mitigation. Debris flows are rock and mud-laden floods and have occurred west of the building site during the past several decades. Because of the slope of the terrain near the house and the long distance from the mouth of the McFarlane Gulch channel to the house, flows will be of relatively low energy and will not produce significant impact damage. Debris flows at this location have an estimated return period of 30 to 100 years. They would primarily be a nuisance requiring extensive cleanup of mud, water and small rocks after a flow occurs. To avoid these problems I recommend building a berm or a small cuUfill structure to deflect a debris flow away from the house. Across section of a cutlfill structure is shown diagrammatically in Figure 5. If the decorative ponds discussed in Section 2.3 and shown schematically on Figure 4 are built for additional avalanche protection, debris could be diverted through the waterfall section and into these ponds. Debris from these relatively infrequent events would then be stored in the ponds. z Debris flows are commonly referred to as mudflows or "mudslides;" they contain a high percentage of solid material and can deposit a substantial amount of rocks, mud and vegetative debris. wJ cY V .~ C: d FIGURE 5. Schematic cross section of a debris- flowmitigation channel. This structure could be used to direct the flow into the decorative ponds. d 0 pg 4 SUMMARY OF PRIMARY CONCLUSIONS The results of my field observations, analytical procedures and structural design criteria have been outlined in the body of this report. 4.1 The proposed Caine residence and existing house should be assumed to lie within the northern edge of the design-magnitude, 100-year return period avalanche; this assumes a 100-foot wide safety factor is added to the mapped avalanche blue zone; 4.2 The proposed house can be protected by building a detached berm or cuUfill structure, reinforcing certain surfaces for avalanche impact loads, or reinforcing these surfaces in conjunction with building decorative ponds to catch avalanche debris and decrease the impact pressures; 4.3 A combination of impact-resistant walls on the proposed house and decorative ponds on the south side of the house is recommended; 4.4 A new house that is protected from avalanches and debris flows would be a safer structure than the existing house; 4.5 Exposure to debris flows also exists but can be mitigated with a channel or cut/fill structure 5 feet deep that channelizes the flow into the ponds discussed in Section 4.2. 5 SPECIFIC AND GENERAL LIMITATIONS 5.1 Specific Limitations -The accuracy of the conclusions of this report assume building location, orientation and shape as represented by the architect (Figures 2 and 4) will be used in design. Any substantial changes may invalidate the conclusions. 9 ~ V~rar~,~. _ . 5.2 General Limitations -- You as my client should know that while our company can and does attempt to uphold the highest professional standards, the state of scientific and engineering knowledge is incomplete, and does not always permit certainty. The complex phenomena involved in debris flows and avalanches cannot be perfectly evaluated and predicted, and methods used to predict their behavior change as new research becomes available. While we can and will offer our best professional judgment, we cannot and do not offer any warranty or guarantee of results. Report prepared by, Arthur I. Mears, P.E.
