Memorandum TO: Aspen Historic Preservation Commission FROM: Amy Simon, Historic Preservation Officer MEETING DATE: August 22, 2018 RE: 533 E. Main, St. Mary Church– HPC direction on front porch amendment ___________________________________________________________________________________ BACKGROUND: HPC approved a remodel of the non-historic front porch at St. Mary on February 14, 2018. The porch remodel was approved along with an addition which may be constructed on the west side of the church at a future date. The project is show at the right. As a reminder, the church originally had no protected entry. The existing porch is the third or fourth version of an entry that has existed on the building. The proposal approved by HPC last winter retained the existing porch roof form but re-roofed in wood shingle, made adjustments to the stair and entry platform, and replaced the existing columns and handrails. The applicant indicated that their goals were to install a historically appropriate roof material, reduce mass, increase visibility of the stained glass transom at the front door, and improve access in and out of the building. St. Mary can only construct the porch remodel during the fall and spring months when work within the right-of-way is permitted. They plan to begin work next month and now propose to keep the metal shingle roof currently on the porch. Board direction to staff and monitor is requested. A packet describing the approved and proposed conditions is attached, as are the relevant design guidelines applied to the discussion of the porch at Final approval. RECOMMENDATION: At Final approval, it did appear that there was an intention to relate the materials of the new porch and the addition to each other and to “warm” the entry porch with wood materials. Staff recommends against retaining the metal shingles, which are out of character with the historic resource. P1 II.F. ATTACHMENTS: Relevant Design Guidelines from Final Approval Applicant’s proposal HISTORIC PRESERVATION GUIDELINES 5.5 If porch replacement is necessary, reconstruct it to match the original in form and detail.  Use materials that appear similar to the original.  While matching original materials is preferred, when detailed correctly and painted appropriately, alternative materials may be considered.  Where no evidence of the appearance of the historic porch exists, a new porch may be considered that is similar in character to those found on comparable buildings. Keep the style and form simple. Also, avoid applying decorative elements that are not known to have been used on the house or others like it.  When constructing a new porch, its depth should be in scale with the building.  The scale of porch columns also should be similar to that of the trimwork.  The height of the railing and the spacing of balusters should appear similar to those used historically as well. 10.3 Design a new addition such that one's ability to interpret the historic character of the primary building is maintained.  A new addition that creates an appearance inconsistent with the historic character of the primary building is inappropriate.  An addition that seeks to imply an earlier period than that of the primary building also is inappropriate.  An addition that seeks to imply an inaccurate variation of the primary building's historic style should be avoided.  An addition that covers historically significant features is inappropriate. 10.4 Design a new addition to be recognized as a product of its own time.  An addition should be made distinguishable from the historic building, while also remaining visually compatible with these earlier features.  A change in setbacks of the addition from the historic building, a subtle change in material or a differentiation between historic, and more current styles are all techniques that may be considered to help define a change from old to new construction. 10.11 On a new addition, use exterior materials that are compatible with the historic materials of the primary building.  The new materials should be either similar or subordinate to the original materials. P2 II.F. COMMERCIAL, LODGING AND HISTORIC DISTRICT DESIGN OBJECTIVES AND GUIDELINES, COMMERCIAL CORE HISTORIC DISTRICT- FINAL REVIEW (Replaces Chapter 13 of the Historic Preservation Design Guidelines) 6.59 High quality, durable materials should be employed.  The palette of materials proposed for all development should be specified and approved as part of the general and detailed development approvals process, including samples of materials as required. 6.60 Building materials should have these features:  Convey the quality and range of materials seen historically  Reduce the scale and enhance visual interest  Convey human scale  Have proven durability and weathering characteristics within this climate 6.61 The palette of materials used for new buildings within the core should reflect the predominantly masonry (brickwork and natural stonework) palette of this area. 6.62 A building or additions to a building should reflect the quality and the variation traditionally found in these materials within the central commercial core. 6.63 Where contemporary materials are used they shall be:  High quality in durability and finish  Detailed to convey a human scale  Compatible with a traditional masonry palette P3 II.F.

Procedure for amending motions: A “friendly amendment” to a Motion is a request by a commissioner to the commissioner who made the Motion and to the commissioner who seconded it, to amend their Motion. If either of these two do not accept the “friendly” amendment request, the requesting commissioner may make a formal motion to amend the Motion along the lines he/she previously requested. If there is no second to the motion to amend the Motion, there is no further discussion on the motion to amend, it dies for a lack of a second; discussion and voting on the Motion may then proceed. If there is a second to the motion to amend the Motion, it can be discussed and must be voted upon before any further discussion and voting on the Motion for which the amendment was requested. If the vote is in favor of amending the Motion, discussion and voting then proceeds on the Amended Motion. If the vote on the motion to amend fails, discussion and voting on the Motion as originally proposed may then proceed. P16 II.K. MEMORANDUM TO: City of Aspen Historic Preservation Commission FROM: Ben Anderson, Planner II THROUGH: Amy Simon, Historic Preservation Officer DATE OF MEMO: August 16, 2018 MEETING DATE: August 22, 2018 RE: Wayfinding Project – discussion with Commissioners SUMMARY: The City of Aspen Engineering, Parks and Community Development Departments are working with a consultant team of rsm design (Boulder office) and Design Workshop (Aspen office) to develop a conceptual plan for a proposed wayfinding system. This project emerged from the Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan as a proposed solution to the following specific issues: 1. Difficulty of residents and visitors locating, and traveling safely and efficiently to open space and trail amenities 2. Residents and visitors underutilizing established infrastructure designed to create safer and more comfortable experiences for bicyclists and pedestrians – this includes signaled crosswalks on Main Street and the Hopkins and Hallam Bike/Ped Ways. 3. Visitors who are unaware of important destinations that define the Aspen experience, or are unaware of the location of these amenities. 4. A system of directional, informational, and trail head signage that lacks uniformity, and provides inconsistent information. At this point in the project, City staff and the consultant team are working to develop a concept for the organization of the proposed system and a visual design for how a system may look. As part of this process, beyond HPC, the team will be meeting with the Planning and Zoning Commission, Open Space and Trails Board, Commercial Core and Lodging Commission, and Aspen Chamber Resort Association to gain feedback on the concept development. Staff will also be encouraging public engagement with the project through Aspen Community Voice and pop-up events. P17 IV.A. All of this will be in preparation for a work session with City Council in October – with Council providing further direction to staff on the next steps in the project’s development. REQUEST OF HPC: The purpose of this work session is to introduce the larger project and proposed process to HPC and to elicit commissioner comments about the project as a whole and more specific elements of the proposed project. At the work session this evening, staff requests initial feedback on the following topics: • Input on Destinations and Decision Points within the Commercial Core and Main Street Historic Districts • Initial response to design concepts for wayfinding system The details of the development of the conceptual design will be presented by the consultant team during the work session.
