RE: Fyrwald Variance Approval
Dear Ron,
On Monday, February 26, 1996, the Board of Adjustment conditionally approved your client's request
for a variance from Section 3.07.06 (2) of the Garfield County Zoning Resolution of 1978, as
amended. The approval is conditioned upon the following items:
I) That there be verification of the lease agreements covering the four (4) of the five (5) existing
structures, allowing the structures to remain in place. Specifically, those structures located
within the Southern Pacific Railroad property.
2) That the variance is only valid for the buildings as they exist and only as long as the leases are
in force and that the variance does not allow for any expansion or replacement of the existing
buildings without complying with the setback requirements in place at the time.
3) If purchase of the property occurs, then a sufficient amount of property must also be
purchased to allow the existing structures to meet the setback requirements in effect at that
time.
Please supply this office with the completed lease agreements and any other pertinent information as
soon as practical. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call.
Sincerely,
bi.re
Eric D. Mccafferty
Garfield County Planner

A. Si!cJ2csi.;ripliun: The site is localed in an area with existing comn1ercial and
residential uses. The properly has lhc Sunimil I louse (Collons) furniture store,
associated slorage buildings, and lwo mobile !ionics. The area is relatively llal,
draining gentlcly toward the railroad, which forms lhc western boundary. A
vicinity map is shown on page JI_-. ..... .
ll. Rc.tJUCsl: The applicant is requesting a variance from Section 3.07.06(2),
mini1num setback, rear yard, lo reduce lite 25 IL minimum to 0 rt. for three
buildings thal arc actually on Denver Rio Grand ROW and one mobile home
that is 5.23 n. from the rear property line. (Sec request pgs. _lj.~ _ _) The
buildings were placed on lhc properly based on an inaccurate survey that
established a properly line used as a basis for oblaini11g building permits.
IL MJ\JOILISSUiiS.ANl.LCONCERNS
A. Yaliani.;c.Crilcri a -Seel ion 'J .05.01 or l he Zo 11 i ng ll esol u tio n (Vari a nee -Acl ion
by the Board or Adj11sl111c11l) stales that the Board 111ay aulhoriw a variance to
relieve hardship, provided:
I. That the variance granted is the minimum necessary to alleviate such
practical difficulties or undue hardship upon the owner of said properly;
2. That such relief may be granted without substantial detriment to the
public good and without substantially impairing the intent and purpose
of the General Plan or this Resolution;
3. That the circumstances found to constitute a hardship were not cause by
the applicant, are not due to or the result of general conditions in the
district, and cannot be practically corrected;
4. That the concurring vote of four (4) members of the Board shall be
necessary to decide in favor of the appellant.
B. Zoning-The Commercial/Limited (C/L) zone district allows a 7.5 ft rear yard
setback on lots without residential use. The applicant has noted that the request
is for relief from the 7.5 ft. rear yard setback, when it is from the 25 ft. rear yard
setback, since there are residential uses on the property. This does not
invalidate the request, but any decision by the Board of Adjustment should be
based on the 25 ft. set back.
C. History -The applicant bought the property knowing about the property
encroachments. Any approval of a variance should be based on the existing
buildings present location and not provide for any expansion of the buildings in
noncompliance with the required setbacks. The removal orreplacement of any
building should void any variance from the setback requirements and require the
new structure to be placed on the property in conformance with the setback
requirements in place at the time.
III. SUGGESTED FINDINGS
I. That the application for Variance was found to be consistent with the
requirements and standards of Section 9.05 of the Garfield County Zoning
Resolution of 1978, as amended.
2. Thal proper publication and public notice was provided as required for the
public hearing before the Zoning Board of Adjustment.
3. That the public hearing before the Zoning Board of Adjustment was extensive
and complete, that all facts, matters and issues were submitted and that all
interested parties were heard at the meeting.
V. RECOMMENDATION t:c/ZhJ6 A?t--~1,-r;;V/ ~1t«f'1~b-)
APPROVAL, of the requested varianc....{,ased on the verification oflease agreements
allowing the buildings to remain in 1;lfce; that the variance is only valid for the
buildings as they exis~nd that the variance does not allow for any expansion or
replacement of the exist ng buildings without complying with the setback requirements

appointed voting members.
Pul1li>e MeetL'lli for a Variance from Section 3.04.06(c) -Minimum Side Yard Setback in the A/R/RD
Zone District, the property is located north of New Castle, approximately 4.2 miles
up the Main Elk Creek Road from the intersection with CR 254. Applicant: Glenn and
Kathy McCuen. Eric McCatlerty questioned the applicants regarding the determination of
adjacent property owners, mailings and posting of the property. Mr. McCafforty determined that
the mailings and proof of publication was adequate and the meeting could proceed. Clarence Mullen
moved to open the public meeting. Tom Morton seconded. Motion passed unanimously by voice
vote. Mr. McCaflerty entered the following exhibits into the record:
a. Proof of publication
b. Return Receipts
c. Application and all its attachments
d. Staff Reports and all its attachments
e. Zoning Resolution of 1978, as amended
f Lett er from B LM
Glenn McCuen told the Board that he is requesting a variance to allow for a zero Jot line on a side
yard that is adjacent to land owned by the Bureau of Land Management. The applicant started
building a house on their property based on an incorrect survey of the property lines. As a result, the
house was placed 4.47 foet outside of the property line and onto BLM property. The error was not
discovered until the applicant had completed the foundation. At that time, communication with the
BLM was initiated to try to acquire enough land to met the zoning requirements for the side yard
setback. Due to BLM requirements for land acquisition, it will take 18 months to complete the
process, which will result in the applicant not being able to meet the mortgage company requirements
------------------------------- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
for conversion ofa construction loan to conventional loan. The applicant is working with an engineer
to cut the corner of the house off, so that it has a zero side yard setback.
Mr. McCafferty told the Board that if the variance is not granted, the applicant will have to tear down
the house that is nearly complete. The applicant's error was self imposed, but the solution without
a variance would appear to be extreme, given that the impact on adjoining properties is minimal at
best.
Discussion regarding the issues of how he would cut the corner of the house off including the
foundation, alternate solutions, surveying, OLM does not object to the O' side yard setback, well
permit, and site constraints.
Dan Weitzenkorn moved to close the public meeting. Clarence Mullen seconded. Motion passed by
unanin1ous voice vote.
Tom Morton moved to grant a O' side yard setback variance to the applicant. Dan Weitzenkorn
secondect. Motion passed unanimously.
Meeting adjourned.

In anticipation for your meeting on Monday, I enclose the
following documents:
1. My letter dated February 19, 1996 to Steve Gordon of
Southern Pacific Real Estate Enterprises.
2. Response letter dated February 22, 1996 from Mary Gross.
As you can see, Southern Pacific has agreed to execute a new
lease for the additional encumbrances. The terms of the new lease
will parallel those of the previous lease. Because this lease
needs to be prepared by Southern Pacific's legal department in San
Francisco, I do not expect to receive the actual hard copy of the
lease for at least a week to ten days. As you can see from Mary
Gross' letter, however, Southern Pacific has committed to prepare
the lease. Feel free to provide a copy of this letter as well as
the enclosures to the County land planner as evidence that Southern
Pacific has no objection to the proposed resubdivision subject to
Aspen Sports' execution of a new lease agreement to be prepared by
Southern Pacific.
Should you have any further questions, do not hesitate to
call.

RE: Aspen Sports, Inc.
Lease No. 716444
Our File No. 06061.000
Dear Mr. Gordon:
Peter T. Moore
As a follow up to our telephone conversation of a few weeks
ago, I enclose a lease map describing the three parcels Aspen
Sports; Inc, wishes to lease. The current lease, identified above,
only covers the encumbrance for the warehouse. The second lease
would cover three separate encroachments. The first is for the
corner of the warehouse building on the northern section of the
property. The second would be for the utility shed encroaching on
the middle of the property, and the third encroachment would b~ for
the .3 foot encroachment by the mobile home on the southern end of
the property. If you will prepare a new form of lease covering
these three additional encroachments and forward it to me, I will
ask my client to sign it and to return it you along with a $750.00
check for the annual lease payment.
We request this lease in connection with a re~subdivision
application with Garfield County. I just learned that Garfield
County desires some feedback from Southern Pacific regarding this
new lease by February 26, 1996. I apologize for the short notice,
but if at all possible if you could return a revised lepse by the
end of this week, I would appreciate it very much. If this is not
possible, if you could simply send a short letter to me by this
week Friday confirming that you will lease this property to Aspen
Sports, Inc.

t\. Ynriani.;i.;Cril.cria -Section lJ.05.01 ol"thc Zo11i11g Resol11tion (Variance-t\ction
by the Board or Adj11sl111e11l) ~talcs lhal the Board may authorize a varia11ce to
relieve hardship, provided:
• • •
1. That the variance granted is the minimum necessary to alleviate such
practical difficulties or undue hardship upon the owner of said property;
2. That such relief may be granted without substantial detriment to the
public good and without substantially impairing the intent and purpose
of the General Plan or this Resolution;
3. That the circumstances found to constitute a hardship were not cause by
the applicant, are not due to or the result of general conditions in the
district, and cannot be practically corrected;
4. That the concurring vote of four (4) members of the Board shall be
necessary to decide in favor of the appellant.
B. Zoning -The Commercial/Limited (C/L) zone district allows a 7.5 ft rear yard
setback on lots without residential use. The applicant has noted that the request
is for relief from the 7.5 ft. rear yard setback, when it is from the 25 ft. rear yard
setback, since there are residential uses on the property. This does not
invalidate the request, but any decision by the Board of Adjustment should be
based on the 25 ft. setback.
C. History -The applicant bought the property knowing about the property
encroachments. Any approval of a variance should be based on the existing
buildings present location and not provide for any expansion of the buildings in
noncompliance with the required setbacks. The removal or replacement of any
building should void any variance from the setback requirements and require the
new structure to be placed on the property in conformance with the setback
requirements in place at the time.
III. SUGGESTED FINDINGS
I. That the application for Variance was found to be consistent with the
requirements and standards of Section 9.05 of the Garfield County Zoning
Resolution of 1978, as amended.
2. That proper publication and public notice was provided as required for the
public hearing before the Zoning Board of Adjustment.
3. That the public hearing before the Zoning Board of Adjustment was extensive
and complete, that all facts, matters and issues were submitted and that all
interested parties were heard at the meeting.
V. RECOMMENDATION
APPROVAL, of the requested variance based on the verification oflease agreements
allowing the buildings to remain in place; that the variance is only valid for the
buildings as they exist and that the variance does not allow for any expansion or
replacement of the existing buildings without complying with the setback requirements
in place at the time.

GARFIELD COUNTY ZONING BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT
Owner's Name: Ernie Fyrwald
Owner's Address: 408 East Cooper Ave., Aspen, CO 81611
Phone: 970-925-6334
Practical description of where property is located:
7025 Hwy 82; 1 mile north of Cattle Creek on Hwy 82
1. Present Zoning: Commercial/Limited
Area: 10 acres
2. Describe Variance you are requesting:
Variance is requested from the rear yard setback. Presently,
four buildings (two ware houses and two 11obile homes) cross the
rear property line by various distances (see attached survey)
ranging from ,3 foot to 60 plus feet •• Additionally a third
mobile home is located 5.23 feet from the rear property line.
The rear property line is the railroad right-of-way and would
normally require a 7. 5 foot setback.
3. Why do you feel that the variance should be granted:
Ernie Fyrwald purchased the property in 1995. The buildings
were in place at that time. We do not have any detailed
history on the reason for the locations of the buildings but it
appears that there was an error in the property description at
some time in the past. The attached survey makes reference to
a recorded property description that located the property line
much closer to the railroad. It appears that the structures
were built prior to discovery of the incorrect survey. The
current survey was conducted in early 1995.
The buildings have been in place for several years and the
raih·oad is apparently aware of their location on railroad
property. We anticipate having a statement from the railroad
prior to the Board of Adjustment hearing on February 26.
There was a lease agreement signed with the railroad in 1989
for the structure that extends the farthest into the railroad
right-of-way. That lease has been transferred to Ernie Fyrwald
(attached). There are currently discussions being conducted
with the railroad for additional lease agreements to cover the
other three buildings projecting into the right-of-way. The
lease agreement gives the railroad authority to terminate the
agreement at any time and require the removal of the
structures.

Removal of the structures as required to 11eet the standard rear
lot setback would be a considerable financial burden to the
Applicant • The buildings have apparently had no adverse
affects on the public in their several years of existence.
With an acknowledgement by the railroad, the Applicant requests
that the buildings remain in their present locations.

APPLICATION
GARFIELD COUNTY ZONING BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT
Owner's Name: Ernie Fyrwald
Owner's Address: 408 East Cooper Ave., Aspen, CO 81611
Phone: 970-925-6334
Practical description of where property is located:
7025 Hwy 82; 1 mile north of Cattle Creek on Hwy 82
1. Present Zoning: Commercial/Limited
Area: 10 acres
2. Describe Variance you are requesting:
Variance is requested from the rear yard setback. Presently,
four buildings (two ware houses and two mobile homes) cross the
rear property line by various distances (see attached survey)
ranging from .3 foot to 60 plus feet .• Additionally a third
mobile home is located 5.23 feet from the rear property line.
The rear property line is the railroad right-of-way and would
normally require a 7. 5 foot setback.
3. Why do you feel that the variance should be granted:
Ernie Fyrwald purchased the property in 1995. The buildings
were in place at that time. We do not have any detailed
history on the reason for the locations of the buildings but it
appears that there was an error in the property description at
some time in the past. The attached survey makes reference to
a recorded property description that located the property line
much closer to the railroad. It appears that the structures
were built prior to discovery of the incorrect survey. The
current survey was conducted in early 1995.
1'he buildings have been in place for several years and the
railroad is apparently aware of their location on railroad
property. We anticipate having a statement from the railroad
prior to the Board of Adjustment hearing on February 26.
There was a lease agreement signed with the railroad in 1989
for the structure that extends the farthest into the railroad
right-of-way, That lease has been transferred to Ernie Fyrwald
(attached). There are currently discussions being conducted
with the railroad for additional lease agreements to cover the
other three buildings projecting into the right-of-way, The
lease agreement gives the railroad authority to terminate the
agreement at any time and require the removal of the
structures.
-• • •
Variance Application
page 2
Removal of the structures as required to meet the standard rear
lot setback would be a considerable financial burden to the
Applicant . The buildings have apparently had no adverse
affects on the public in their several years of existence,
With an acknowledgement by the railroad, the Applicant requests
that the buildings remain in their present locations.
4. Property owners within 200 feet:
See attached sheet
5. Describe Water Supply, sewage facilities, utilities and access
to property.
Water supply: on site well
Sewage disposal: septic tank and leachfield
Power and phone service is at the site.
Access is from State Highway 82
6. See Attached Maps.
7. The above information is correct to the best of my knowledge>
