Page 9 of 14
Response: The Applicants have not provided a lighting plan. The Applicants will be required to comply with
section 7-20-140 ofthe Code regarding lighting.
ACCESS: Access to the residence will be taken off Letey Lane. The Applicants will need to submit an access
application prior to reconstruction or realignment of the driveway.
SEWER AND WATER: Water for the existing residence and proposed garage/CDU will be serviced by an
existing well. Currently a septic field services the existing residence. A septic permit must be attained from
EHlNR prior to development of another septic field or expansion of the existing one for the proposed CDU. The
septic field must be located within an envelope.
NEIGHBOR CONCERNS: A letter was submitted by a neighbor (Attachment E) tbat voices concerns about
enforcement if an approval is granted.
CAUCUS LETTER: The Woody Creek Caucus submitted a letter in support of the application (Attachment F)
with the recommendation that tbe location of the proposed development is acceptable to tbe neighbors.

space area and free up floor area for construction oftbe garage and CDU. The Applicant will need to confirm with
the zoning officer and building department for appropriate steps to do this.
SPECIAL REVIEW FOR LANDSCAPING AND BUILDING MATERIAL STORAGE
Building materials and landscaping storage is listed as a special review use in tbe RS-20 zone district and tberefore
must comply with the following standards (see Subsection 2-30-30):
A. The special review use shall consider the applicable County Master Plan.
Response: The special review use is not inconsistent witb the Down Valley Comprehensive Plan.
B. The special review use shall not conflict with any applicable sections of the Pitkin County Land Use Code,
including the County Land Use Policies in Chapter 1.
Response: The use is consistent witb the Pitkin County Land Use Code and tbe Land Use Policies.
C. The proposed development must not materially endanger the public health, safety or welfare..
Response: Staff has no reason to believe that the proposed development will endanger the public health, safety or
welfare.
D. The proposed development must not substantially injure the value of adjoining or abutting property.
Response: The proposed development for building materials and landscape storage will not injure value of
adjoining property. The existing storage area is unsightly and storing materials away from the road and indoors
will reduce the visual impact of the masonry operation.
E. The special review use shall be consistent with the intent of the zone district in which it is proposed to
be located.
Response: The RS-20 zone district is a rural zone district. Building and landscaping materials storage is a
special review use in this zone district. This low impact family masonry business is consistent with the intent
Page 10 of 14
of this zone district. The RS-20 zone district general intent encourages clustering of development as expressed
in section 3-40-30(3) of the Code.
F. The special review use shall be compatible with the character of the immediate vicinity of the parcel
proposed for development and surrounding land uses, or shall enhance the mixture of complimentary
uses and activities in the immediate vicinity of the parcel proposed for development.
Response: The surrounding parcels are also zoned RS-20. A small family owned masonry business will be
compatible with the character of the immediate vicinity of the parcel if standards for this special review use are
carried out.
G. The location, size, design and operating characteristics of the proposed special review use must be in
harmony with the surrounding area and minimize adverse effects, including visual impacts, impacts on
pedestrian and vehicular circulation, traffic generation, parking, trash, service delivery, air/water
pollution or other impacts on natural resources, noise, vibrations and odor on surrounding properties.
Response: The Applicant has shown a garage that will store masonry implements for the business. If tbe two
areas recommended by Staff are used, visual impacts of the development and business will be minimized.
Vehicular and traffic impacts shall comply with the building materials and landscaping storage standards as
outlined in section 40-30-40(e) below.
H There must be adequate public facilities and services to serve the special review use, including but not
limited to roads, potable water, sewer, solid waste, parks, police, fire protection, emergency medical
services, hospital and medical services, drainage systems, and schools.
Response: The additional impact on County services from a building materials and landscaping storage use
should be minimal. Staff has no reason to believe that the use will burden County services any further tban the
existing use that has been in place for 30 years. Roads, water usage, fire protection, and emergency medical
services are already in place.
1. The proposed special review use must comply with any additional standards or requirements statedfor
such use in Sec. 4-30 and/or 2-40-20.
Response: Code Section 4-30-40(e) will be addressed below.
Standards for Duildin!! Materials and Landscane Stora!!e:

approval permit outdoor storage. If outdoor storage is permitted, the use shall provide buffering and
landscaping for outdoor storage and service areas under Sec. 7-20-130.
Response: The Applicant has proposed a garage of 800 square feet for storage of supplies such as propane
tanks, pipes, and other masonry implements for the business. The Applicant has requested storage of
materials outside the garage in a fenced in storage yard for the business. This is a practical request as stone,
Page II of 14
gravel, dirt, and other bulk materials that require shipment on a dump truck would be difficult to dump
inside an 800 square foot structure. Staff is comfortable with this request as long as storage of only bulk
materials are stored in the yard and all other masonry equipment is stored inside.
3. In the RS-30, RS-20, and AR-10 zone districts, this use shall not include retail sales to the public (as
opposed to contractors), shall only be permitted to have a maximum offour (4) commercial vehicles on site

residential character of the area. As a result adjoining or abutting properties values will not be substantially
injured.
J The special review use shall be consistent with the intent of the zone district in which it is proposed to
be located.
Response: The CDU will be consistent with the RS-20 zone district.
K. The special review use shall be compatible with the character of the immediate vicinity of the parcel
proposed for development and surrounding land uses, or shall enhance the mixture of complimentary
uses and activities in the immediate vicinity of the parcel proposedfor development.
Response: The CDU will be compatible with the character of the immediate vicinity of the subject parcel as it
is an accessory use to single family residence.

pollution or other impacts on natural resources, noise, vibrations and odor on surrounding properties.
Response: The Applicant has noted that the proposed CDU will be constructed in a garage that will house the
materials storage for the landscape business. This development will occur in a hazard free location. The traffic
generation from the increased density will be accommodated by the main driveway. Additional impacts stated
above will be of no issue.
M There must be adequate public facilities and services to serve the special review use, including but not
limited to roads, potable water, sewer, solid waste, parks, police, fire protection, emergency medical
services, hospital and medical services, drainage systems, and schools.
Response: The additional impact of a CDU should be de minimus with respect to the public facilities and
services that are already in place and will be servicing the future residence. The property is located within the
Aspen Fire District and the CDU will be required to comply with the Aspen Fire Code. Well construction,
access, and waste systems will be required to meet Pitkin County standards.

Dear Mr. Britvar,
I am the Pitkin County Code Enforcement Officer and this letter serves as a Notice of Violation
related to your property located at 0156 Letey Lane, Pitkin County.
I have received complaints that you are storing construction materials on this property and have
confirmed there is a significant amount of stone, scaffolding and other building materials stored
on the property. The Pitkin County Land Use Code defines the storage of construction materials
such as you have on this property as "Equipment supplies and contraction or sub-contraction".
Your property is zoned RS-20 PUD. The Land Use Code specifies that the use of a property for
"Equipment supplies and contraction or sub-contraction" in an area zoned as RS-20 PUD is a
Special Review Use. Pitkin County Community Development records do not contain evidence
that a Special Review has been conducted for this property.
Consequently, it appears that the property is in violation of the Pitkin County Land Use Code.
The cure for this Notice of Violation is for you to either remove all ofthe offending materials or
obtain a Special Review from Pitkin County Community Development to allow this particular
use of the property to continue, within 90 days of this letter's date. Contact Pitkin County
Community Development at 920-5526 to start the process for the Special Review. The process to
obtain the Special Review can take up to 90 days; your prompt start of the process is
recommended as this Violation must be cured within 90 days.
Thank you for your prompt attention to this situation. I would appreciate your informing me of
your intentions (429-2814); I am also available at this number to answer questions you may
have.
Sincerely,
Carrington Brown

Dear Mr. Britvar,
As you are aware I sent you a Notice of Violation letter on July 3, 2006 regarding your storage of
construction materials on your property located at 0156 Letey Lane, Pitkin County. Over the
ensuing time I understand you met with Pitkin County Planner Mike Kraemer to discuss the
Special Review process for this use of the property. I also understand that you submitted an
application to Mike Kraemer approximately 3 weeks ago. Unfortunately, your application was
incomplete and has not been resubmitted in an acceptable form as of today.
In order for your application to be considered please deliver to Mike Kraemer a letter that
addresses the code sections outlined in the pre-application summary. Please be sure to address
the requirements for an Activity Envelope, Site Plan, Special Review for a CDU, and Special
Review for building materials storage.
The Notice of Violation for your property has not been cured. In order to cure it please either
provide Mike Kraemer a 100% complete Special Review application by May 1st, 2007, or cease
using the property to store building materials and remove all of the offending materials by May
151, 2007.
Please be advised that if you fail to perform one of the alternatives to cure this violation by May
1 st, 2007 the matter will be referred to the Pitkin County Attorney for litigation. If you have
questions or concerns, I am available at 429-2814.

RE: Britvar Activity Envelope, Site Plan
Dear Mike:
The Britvar parcel does not lies within any mapped wildlife areas. The parcel does receive limited and occasional use by elk
deer, but this use is not significant. Black bear do inhabit the area, especially along the Roaring Fork River.
The proposed building should not have significant impacts to wildlife. The following recommendations should help minimi;
to wildlife and human-wildlife conflicts:
I. aU fencing should meet code for wildlife friendly fencing
2. any horse hay should be fenced with 8'mesh game proof fencing in order to minimize game damage problems a
big game across Upper River Road
3. comply with sections of the LUC relating to bears
4. round handled door knobs should be used on all outside doors instead of lever handles in order to minimize a b,
to gain entry
5. contractors are required by code to provide a bear proof container for all edible and food related trash. This nee,
enforced and relayed to all workers
Thank you for the opportunity to comment. If you have any questions, please contact DWM Kevin Wright at 047-2920.

Attn: Mike Kraemer
Dear Mike,
As neighbors of Paul Britvar in Woody Creek (for 15 years), we would like to offer the
following comments for your review as it applies to your decision regarding their Special
Review.
Due to the number of different factors now involved with the prope11y, our opinion is not
as straight forward as it might have been a year ago.
. The simplest solution would be to remove all of the Britvar company equipment,
piles of rock, old cars, fuel tank, wooden pallets, etc. and reSlOre the field to a
natural state. However, does the county have the staffto enforce such a removal
and to be sure that it doesn't return in the future? Paul will not do it voluntarily.
. Paul's mother and aunt now need a place to live and we supp0l1 that. Therefore,
building a barn/apartment with sUlTounding fencing might provide the solution for
housing and containment of the construction "materials" used in Paul" s business.
However, we would request a strict time limit on the completion of such a project
and the guarantee that no debris, piles of rock, constmction equipment, etc. ever
be allowed outside of the fencing, once the project is complete. With your
approval and a 2008 spring start, Tim believes that the project could be completed
by October of2008. Again, how would the county enforce such restrictions?
. We have strong concerns that Paul Britvar will not be cooperative in following
the county's decision with regard to his "storage field" unless restrictions and
penalties are assessed and enforced.
Sincerely,
Tim and Kay Hagman

Re: Britvar Activity Envelope, etc. CASE P084-07
The Woody Creek Caucus District Planning Commission considered the subject
application, and has the following comments:
There is no problem as long as there is adherence to the 5,750 s.f. limit.
We have noticed a discrepancy in the calculated totals of square feet.
As long as the neighbors do not object to the location of the barn and CDU in that part of
the activity envelope, we have no objections.
Filling in ofthe basemcnt needs to be done according to County requirements. Sanitation
for the new unit must be revicwed by Environmental Health.

Application for Special Review/ Storage Building and CDU

PG 831 CONT 6.02AC MIL ADA PARCEL
A Bk 410 Pg 321
Summary:
Applicant is requesting Special Review to build a storage barn with CDU. The Britvar
family has owned and operated a stone masonry business for over 50 years. As Woody
Creek has become more upscale, the storage of building materials and supplies has
caused complaints to be registered with the County by the neighbors.
Section 4-30-30(h) requires that all building and landscaping materials in RS-20 be stored
indoors. The proposed development is intended to make the use of the property consistent
with section 4-30-30(h). The business as a home occupation is an 'allowed use' in the
RS-20 zone district.
Applicant is requesting approval under Section 2.30-30(h) Special Review for a CDU and
Sec. 4-30-50(e)(I)(2): Caretaker Dwelling Unit and Sec. 6-30-40c. GMQS Exemption for
CDU:
The advancing age of owner and her sister require that they live near family. The owner
therefore requests that a CDU be part of the barn to house family members. The code
allows family members to reside in a Caretaker unit.
The owner and family agree to designate the accessory living space as a CDU and if
leased will abide by housing guidelines. As the intended occupants are family members
who have resided in Pitkin County since the 1950s the unit will also serve to address the
need for Senior Housing.
Sec. 4-30-40(e): Building Materials and Landscaping. The building is designed with
natural materials similar to the houses in the area. Currently the field where the stone and
equipment is stored is in a 'natural' state. Section 7-20-130 allows for outdoor storage to
be permitted if the use provides buffering and landscaping. The applicant intends to build
a fenced area around the barn to store the stone with the equipment being stored inside
the bam. The applicant is open to building a berm with trees instead of the fenced area.
The applicant has not proposed "landscaping" and a berm because the natural land is a
previously irrigated field.
Sec. 2-30-20(g) Activity Envelope Criteria for Approval and Sec. 7-10-50 Activity
Envelope. The applicant is asking for the barn to be located in the currently used activity
envelope.
Sec. 7-20-20 and Sec. 7-20-20( e). There are no slope issues. The proposed site is located
on the flat bench area of Woody Creek.
Sec. 7-20-30: Water Courses and Drainage. The site is some distance from Little Woody
and will not affect the water course.
Sec. 7-20-130: Landscaping and Vegetation Protection. The vegetation is disturbed non-
irrigated pasture.
Sec. 7-20-60: Wildfire Hazard. The area is mapped as Low Wildfire Hazard area.
Sec. 7-20-70: Wildlife Habitat. The area is not mapped for Big Game habitat according to
WRIS maps.
Sec. 7-20-120 (d): Standards for Scenic View Protection Areas. The proposed bam is
intended to "hide' construction materials, thereby further protecting scenic views.
Sec. 7-20-120(e): Rural Character Guidelines for Building Location. By siting the bam
away from the main house, the structure avoids a large massing affect. The size of the
building is small and consistent with a rural setting. The nature of the business, stone
masonry is also in keeping with a rural setting. Stone was traditionally a material used in
rural construction. The building is located in the exact area where the building materials
are now stored and will not then increase the disturbed area.
Development Cap of 5750: The family had planned for several years to build a garage
and living quarters for the two elder members of the family but didn't have the money
until recently. Since the original plans, the County has changed the Code several times as
it relates to calculation of square footage. The existing garage (where the tool shop is) is
880 sq. ft. There also is a basement used solely for storage that is accessed from both the
garage and the house. Counting stairway this space is 878 sq. ft. The actual floor space is
616 sq.ft. The living quarters are 3480 square feet making the total square footage 4743
sq. ft.
The applicant requests the Board make a site visit to the property before the application is
heard. Though the family considered trying to convert the basement to create an
apartment for the sisters, it's below grade location near the river has resulted in several
floodings making this space only useful for storage. The applicant agrees to put the
necessary gravel onto the floor of the basement to bring its height to that of a crawl space.
Their architect Tim Hagman calculates that this will reduce the square footage of the
basement by 616 sq. ft. giving the family 1623 sq.ft. for the bam and the CDU.
The Application meets all of the following Criteria necessary for Special Review
approval:
(a). The application is consistent with the Woody Creek Master Plan which seeks to
retain the rural nature of the area where old time locals have utilized their land for
employment.
(b) The special review is consistent with the Pitkin County Land Use Code which allows
home occupation by right in this zone. The Code also calls out special review for the
storage materials and CDU
~ The proposed development will enhance public welfare by retaining a local business
and mitigating the operation of the business' effect on neighbors. The application will not
affect public health or safety.
(d) The proposed development will protect the value of the adjoining properties by
"cleaning up" the visual impact of the stockpiled stone.
(e) The zone district specifically names both uses as allowed through special review.
(f)(g) The design ofthe bam and its small scale is consistent with the immediate vicinity.
The bam is located at the site where the stone is currently stockpiled to avoid any further
impacts. The bam will use the existing driveway.
(h) The bam and CDU will use existing facilities. The increase in two persons on the
property will not cause impact on public services.
