Galena St. Aspen, CO 81611 Gentlemen: The requested variance is fora log gate that goes over the subject property's driveway; and a 4 feet by 8 feet property sign (see enclosed photos). The fence and gate were put on the property in July of 1989. I was unaware the gate is considered a structure and is in violation of The Pitkin County Land Use Code section 3-8.2. As one can tell from the enclosed photos, or if you have driven past the property, which is located on Highway 82 at Watson Divide Road, the fence and gate are very attractive and blend with the surrounding environment. As for the property sign, it too is a very tactful sign which blends with its surroundings. The sign is a temporary sign offering the property for sale; the size is 4 feet x 8 feet and is placed mid-point on the property between the gate and the South property line. There is only one sign on the entire 1300 feet of frontage along Highway 82. My request of the Board of Adjustments is for favorable consideratio ese matters.

January 5, 1989 Pitkin County Board of Adjustment Dear Sirs; I am the nwner< of the property bordering the Terry-Gillman property On its outheast side. I watched with-concern about the visual impact as 't he gate was constructed last summer. With the abundance of nec¢ construction in our°valley, it is especially important that we adhere to the sign and aetbaek restrictions along Highway 82, to prevent the "strip development" appearance. I congratulate the county in its past success in preventing such development and. maintaining Our aesthetics;. First, the sign. I feel that any sgnage should conform to the six square foot regulation, and that this sign should be ci^ianged to conform. The variance should be denied. Second, the gate. The gate is perhaps a bit of overkill for the property that it represents. It is somewhat out of scale in relation to the surrounding homes and properties and their entrances (or lack of.) However, I do not object to a gate being in that particular location and if this gate is modified to reduce visual impact by staining it a darker brown or post-gray color, I will support this variance. Finally, I only support the variance for the gate if it is expressly understood that this variance is for this one particular structure and sets no precedent for any other or future variances.

Minutes Pitkin County Board of Adjustment January 09, 1990 Members Present: Kandi Shaffran, Chairman John Ostwald Rick Neiley Evan Gull Member Absent: Stan Mathis Mary Lackner, Pitkin County Zoning Enforcement Officer, was present with staff recommendations and comments. Shaffran opened the meeting at 5:15pm and introduced the Board to those present. Case #90-O1, Gillman, Robert, Highway 82 at Watson Divide Road Robert Terry was present to request a 100 foot front yard setback variance, where 100 feet is required in the AF-1 zone district, and a 200 foot arterial highway setback variance, where 200 feet is required off Highway 82 per the Pitkin County Land Use Code, to allow for a ranch gate entrance. Gillman also seeks a 26 square foot sign variance for a "For Sale" sign, where 6 square feet is the maximum allowed per the Pitkin County Land Use Code. Both the sign and gate are existing, the gate having been built without a building permit. The Pitkin County Land Use Code defines fences exceeding six feet in height as "structures". Gillman's gate is approximately 17 feet 8 inches high. Zoning Administrator, Francis Krizmanich, red-tagged the gate and sign for non-compliance, and suggested Gillman appeal to the Board for variances. Terry submitted pictures to the Board of the gate entrance and sign. Shaffran read letters of approval from adjacent property owners, Michael B. Gerbaz and Jerry Gerbaz. Neighbor, Delorus Stutsman, read a letter from Lou Dequine, Gillman's neighbor to the southeast. Dequine objects to the sign, but would support the gate, provided measures to help mitigate the visual impact are made and no precedent is set by the granting of this request. Stutsman also supported the gate since it already exists, provided no precedence would be set with such an approval, and objected to the sign. Neighbor, Dexter Garner, was present and objected to the sign and gaY.e. John McBride, of the Aspen Valley Improvements Association, was also present to warn the Board against setting a precedence with this case, since he felt the variance would not have been granted 000021 were Gillman to have appeared before the Board prior to the building of the gate. He questioned Gillman's hardship. Terry responded that he [Terry] had contacted the Planning Office before building the gate and was told he could proceed. He admitted to not specifying that the gate would exceed six feet in height. Terry pointed out that the gate does meet highway access code requirements as per the Colorado Division of Highways. Although there is no hardship, Terry asked the Board to consider that since the structure is already built, a hardship would be created if he were required to dismantle the gate. Gull suggested that this case is a product of an error of omission in the drafting of the code, since the Code fails to address gate entrances. Gull stated that he had "no problem" with the gate. Neiley suggested that a topographic hardship exists since the lot could not meet a 200 foot setback requirement due to its shape and size. Neiley made a motion to grant the requested variance to allow for the gate on this basis. Gull seconded the motion. Ostwald disagreed with using a topographical hardship to justify a hardship, to which Shaffran responded that perhaps a better hardship was downzoning. The motion failed to pass with a 2-2 vote, with Shaffran and Ostwald voting against. The request for a variance was denied. All board members were in agreement that the "For Sale" sign was too large and would have to comply with the Code. Shaffran made a motion to deny the request for a 26 square foot variance for the sign, due to lack of hardship. Gull seconded the motion, and it was passed with a 4-0 vote. Case 90-02 Melberg Tom Lot 4 Little Texas Subdivision Tom Melberg was present to request a 90 foot front yard setback variance and a 20 foot rear yard setback variance where 100 feet and 30 feet respectively are required in the AF-1 zone district, for the construction of an addition to a residential house. The Board reviewed the plans and stated they understood how downzoning affected the Little Texas Subdivision. Almost no lot in the subdivision meets the required setbacks. Shaffran made a motion to grant a 90 foot front yard setback variance and a 20 foot rear yard setback variance due to downzoning. Ostwald seconded the motion and it passed with a 4-0 vote. ' f 000022 ;'; Case #90-03 Heede, Richard, Lot 14, Block 2, Filing 2, Gateway to Snowmass Mesa Subdivision Richard and Susan Hessel-Heede were present to request a 63 foot front yard setback variance, a 5 foot rear yard setback variance and a 5 foot south side yard setback variance, where 100 feet, 50 feet and 50 feet respectively, are required in the RS-30 zone district, for the construction of a residential house. Because the Heedes have previously appeared before the Board, the members were familiar with the lot and its extreme topographic hardships. After a review of the plans, Neiley made a motion to grant a 63 foot front yard setback variance, a 5 foot rear yard setback variance and a 5 foot south side yard setback variance as on the plans submitted, due to topographic hardships. The motion was seconded by Shaffran and passed with a 4-0 vote. Shaffran made a motion to accept the minutes of the December 5, 1989. The motion was seconded by Gull and all present agreed the minutes should be accepted. Shaffran adjourned the meeting at 6:00 pm. Respectfully Submitted, C 4~CL..t--~k~-t l iD'J~ rs~~~ , 'Joanna S.
