APPLICATION SUMMARY

This application is a PUD General Submission request for 25
deed restricted townhouse units to be developed under PMH
zoning, and 20 free-market single-family homesites. The
development is located on the 450 acres of the Aspen Village
property zoned AF-l. This zoning allows 45 units for the
property. The application is also requesting approval to
relocate 9 mobile home units in the Aspen Village mobile
home park off the Highway 82 edge of the park to another
location internal to the park to improve the visual quality
of the Highway 82 corridor.

The site for the 25 townhouses will be developed under PMH
zoning to allow the clustering and attached structures for
the units. PMH zoning is not requested to increase the
density of the property which is zoned for 45 units. The
townhouse cluster is necessary to locate the units within
convenient walking distance to existing recreational facil-
ities, the Roaring Fork Grocery and the County bus stop; to
provide shorter, lower cost utility hook-ups; and to mini-
mize the loss of irrigated pasture land.

The townhouse sites. will comply with the low income category
of the housing price guidelines. The sites will be covenanted
for the constructed units to also comply with the low income
price guidelines. The applicant guarantees construction of
the units. The sites will be platted concurrent and prorated
with the platting of the free market homesites.

The specific unit mix of the townhouses (one, two or three
bedrooms) will be developed jointly by the applicant and the
County Housing Authority. The ownership to rental mix will
be determined by demand and subject to coordination with the
County Housing Authority.

The present application has been revised from the 1979
application to eliminate the technical concerns of the 1979
application as follows:

1. The riverfront homesites are located outside and at
least 15' back of the 100-year floodplain boundary
based on adopted floodplain mapping. Based on the 1979
referral letter from the Colorado Water Conservation
Board (Appendix), the Wright-McLaughlin Engineers' report,
"Floodplain Information Report, Roaring Fork River,"
has been adopted by the Board and the County as the t
standard for the 100-year floodplain review. The
applicant has reviewed the Wright-McLaughlin report and
has plotted its mapping as the gUide to locate the
