(C/o: Thomas Hsu) APPLICANT: Same 2 03/25/2014 REPRESENTATIVE: Duane Piper,Piper Architects,LTD. STAFF PLANNER: Scot Hunn I. SUMMARY: The intent of this Amended Final Plat is to vacate a small portion of an existing building envelope in one area of the lot, and to expand the existing building envelope in another area by the same square footage to allow for a small addition to an existing residence. This amended final plat has been conditionally approved by the Beaver Creek Design Review Board. However, based on the Planned Unit Development Guide for Beaver Creek, and, specifically, because the Applicant was not successful in gaining written approval for the proposed amendment from each of the surrounding adjacent property owners, the DRB's approval was conditional on the Applicant "requesting" a public hearing is required before the Board of County Commissioners(please see attached letter from the Beaver Creek DRB). Staff believes this addition (please see attached photos and plans submitted by the Applicant showing the existing home, as well as renderings for the addition on the north side of the structure), and the proposed building envelope amendment is in keeping with 1) the intent of the original final plat and building envelope locations for Filing No. 5, and 2)the requirements of the Eagle County Land Use Regulations (ECLURs). Specifically, staff believes the Amended Final Plat meets each of the following, applicable criteria: Adjacent property. Staff believes the addition and proposed building envelope adjustment will not adversely affect any neighboring property. Specifically, the existing building on Lot 7 is approximately seventy (70') feet from the next nearest structure located on Lot 8 (to the North); the proposed addition will reduce this distance by approximately 10 feet. Further, the area between the two homes on Lots 7 and 8 is heavily forested; therefore, staff's contention is that any addition to the residence(in this case, a single-story shed roof element) and associated amendment to the building envelope will not adversely impact Lot 8. Final Plat Consistency. Staff has reviewed the original Final Plat for Filing No. 5, Beaver Creek Subdivision, and finds that the proposed amendment is consistent with the intent of the original plat; specifically, the original building envelope placement is not changed, only reconfigured slightly to allow for a minor addition. Conformance with Final Plat Requirements. The Applicant's surveyor has made all necessary revisions and refinements to the plat document as required by the Eagle County Surveyor, the Eagle County Engineering Department and the Eagle County Planning Department. Furthermore, the plat has been reviewed by the Eagle County Attorney's Office for compliance with legal requirements. The plat, as signed by applicable parties is, therefore, consistent with the intent of the Eagle County Land Use Regulations. II.

Copy of Beaver Creek DRB Conditional Approval Letter DISCUSSION: Mr.Hunn stated that the request would amend the building envelope which would allow for a very small addition to the existing home. This was similar to other building envelope amendments seen for Beaver Creek over the years. The adjacent property owners were not available to respond so the applicant chose a public hearing. The amendment did not adversely affect any adjacent property owners. It met final plat consistency and the amendment was minor.
