ASPEN HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION
MINUTES OF OCTOBER 8, 2008
Chairperson, Michael Hoffman called the meeting to order at 8:00 a.m.
Commissioners in attendance: Ann Mullins, Brian McNellis, Sarah
Broughton and Nora Berko.
Staff present: Jim True, Special Counsel
Amy Guthrie, Historic Preservation Officer
Sara Adams, Historic Preservation Planner
Kathy Strickland, Chief Deputy City Clerk
MOTION: Brian moved to approve the minutes of August 13`h with one
amendment and the minutes of August 27`h; second by Michael. All in favor,
motion carried.
Lift I -Conceptual Review -Public Hearing
Exhibits
I -Letter from the Ski Company
II -Proposed resolution
III -Lodge pool house
IV -Letter from Mary Janss -requesting that the native grass is preserved.
V -Alison Agley -email about preserving the chewing fescue grass.
Possibly the pool house could be moved forward toward the poma lift a little
so that it is more of an active building.
Sara pointed out that this is the fourth hearing and at the last meeting HPC
was looking at a site plan that included a poma lift and activating the historic
Lift I corridor and making it an active ski back area. HPC requested more
information; contextual rendering, elevations, and information that put the
relocation of the steak house into context with the surrounding development.
They have provided that information and overall we are recommending
approval of conceptual review and relocation of the designated steak house
and relocation of the skier's lodge and pool house.
Staff feels the addition of the poma lift does not detract from the lift one
apparatus. It is a great idea to activate that corridor. In terms of the historic
steak house relocation the applicant provided illustrations showing the effect
of the height and mass of the Lift I lodge which is where the Holland house
used to be. There would be a 30 foot increase in height if the steak house
stays in its original location. The increase in height would definitely be
significant and the steak house would lose its prominence if there was a huge
ASPEN HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION
MINUTES OF OCTOBER 8, 2008
building hovering over it. Staff recommends approval of the relocation of
the steak house which meets criteria 4. The addition to the steak house
would be similar to what was approved in 2006. It is a circulation corridor
and it meets the guidelines in terms of height, mass and scale. We were
wondering about elevator access to the second floor and the applicant can
elaborate on that because right now it is just a stairway corridor.
Skier's lodge and pool house.
Staff is in support of the proposed relocation of the skier's lodge which is
listed on Ord. #48. They are not proposing any additions to the lodge.
Moving it down and making it into a museum is appropriate. The proposed
location in terms of the setback works well. There is plenty of public space
around it. The relationship of the pool house to the chalet lodge is also
appropriate. It is being kept in the same configuration. The proposed
elevator roof penetration is minimal and you can barely notice it. It does not
adversely affect the integrity and we are in support of everything they are
proposing for the lodge. The Ski Club building is being brought back to its
1950's size. Regarding the Deep Powder cabins the Ski Co. is willing to
accept the cabins if they get approval from the Forest Service and can
acquire all the approvals that are needed. They do want to incorporate them
into their program of useful buildings. If they are slated for demolition or a
major addition they are offering the City the right of first refusal. They will
not accept the cabins if they are historically designated. If the cabins go to
the county we do not have jurisdiction over designation. Staff feels the site
plan is appropriate without added additional buildings. HPC has the
authority to make recommendations on the entire master plan.
Stephen Holly, Poss Architecture & Planning
Stephen thanked staff for the hard work that they put into the process. Staff
has aided us in every step of the way and we really appreciate it.
Stephen addressed staff's recommendations:
The platter towers do not detract from the historic lift one apparatus.
The stream line pathways and simplified landscape is a positive addition.
There will be a more specific landscape plan for final review.
An elevation was provided to show the increase in height of the Lift I lodge
if the steak house is left in its original location. The steak house would get
assumed by the building.

ASPEN HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION
MINUTES OF OCTOBER 8, 2008
The addition to the steak house is just a stair core that connects the two
levels. Previously we had an elevator and when HP C gave conceptual
approval there was a condition that the elevator be removed.
The pool house will be moved down in the same relationship that is there
now. At this time no addition is proposed to the chalet lodge. There is an
elevator required by code in the museum.
The lift structure will be returned to its 1950 size. At final we will have
photos of what the back side looks like. The Deep Powder cabins and out
buildings will be stabilized. The boat tow is the property of the city and we
would like to work with staff on how to restore it and whether it should go
inside the museum. There has been a lot of citizen input with regards to the
design. At Planning & Zoning we received a unanimous vote of approval.
We would like HPC to make a statement and support this master plan to
revitalize this area in context with its historic nature.
Michael said his concern is the relationship of the buildings to each other.
Sara said the erosion around where the steak house is, is part of the reasons
why we feel it can be relocated. The buildings won't be concentrated and
there is plenty of open space. By moving the steak house down you will
have a stronger relationship as opposed to having a huge back drop of an
enormous new lodge building. They plan on moving it 80 feet down and it
will retain its relationship to the street.
Nora asked what will bring us to the museum. Stephen said the first level of
the steak house will be some kind of local eating establishment with
reasonable pricing.
Nora asked if there is a way to interact the lodge area with the museum.
Georgia Hanson said they have a lot of planning going on and nothing has
been decided yet.
Bob Daniels went over some of the proposed resolution changes. The
changes are cleanup and not fundamental issues.
#4 add circulation and stair structure.
#5 skier chalet lodge and pool house.
#8 provided in the representations.

ASPEN HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION
MINUTES OF OCTOBER 8, 2008
#9 have the letter from David Bellack be referenced. Some kind of language
that says the relocation of the deep powder cabins be incorporated into the
Aspen Skiing Co. program is approved as represented in the attached letter
from the Aspen Skiing Company.
# 11 and # 12 add pool house instead of ancillary.
# 14 Because of the complexity we would request a two year window relative
to the final development plan which is consistent with the prior application.
We also need a reference to the negotiations to ordinance #48.
Jim True said we can add an acknowledge to the resolution indicating that
this is considered part of the negotiation period under ordinance #48 and that
the parties have reached a conclusion that is consistent with ordinance #48.
Sara said you can also add a statement that H PC supports the entire master
plan.
Brian inquired about the $30,000. Sara said it is a way to have a property
owner have responsibility. Brian asked if the figure should be renegotiated.
Amy said it is somewhat of an attention getter. If we make it more of a
significant amount it makes more of a burden on the property owner.
Bob Daniel said in the resolution that deals with the bond you could change
may to will be negotiated.
Chairperson, Michael Hoffman opened the public hearing.
Andrew Kole, task force representative. Andrew pointed out that over 2000
man hours went into this proposal. Nothing here was done quickly. One of
the key efforts to make the steak house work was by moving the building
down you can enhance the financial possibilities. You now have something
that can, appeal to locals and people staying up there. It is a better setting for
people to get to.
Alan Harvey, task force representative. This plan is an opportunity to add
new vigor to the neighborhood and honor the history. The neighborhood has
changed in the last three years. There are buildings that are gone. The skier
chalet lodge is to be moved and be a museum and I would hope that the
developers work with the Historical Society to create a vital space.

MaryAnn Meyer, task force member. We spent countless days and
countless hours working on this. The final analysis is that we have an
incredible campus of historic buildings and it provides 12 months a year
lights on situation.
David Bellock, attorney for the Aspen Skiing Company: This is something
we are trying to do for the community. We haven't done the engineering to
see if can all work to make it a functional lift shack but we have committed
to try. We would give notice to the City if they cannot be accommodated.
Two ideas are a lift shack or a picnic warming shelter is another idea.
Sara said this is a problem we are facing in Aspen as to where the small
outhouses go.
Amy suggested adding an advisory level to work with the Ski Co to
complete the buildings in a minor restoration. Some of the walls are
missing.
Cliff Weiss said there is a large deck off the north side of the skier chalet
restaurant. We tried to adjust the position between the lodge and the
restaurant with the lift in between so that there was some of the old chalet
style intact. It is somewhat a residential neighborhood but we wanted to
have some vitality spread out. There will also be a lot of foot traffic coming
from Dean Street. There is also a foot path taking you up South Aspen
Street.
John Sarpa said the group still has a lot of work to do but the plan presented
tonight is exciting and the 27 people involved approved this plan.
Ann said now that the site isn't being disturbed by the underground parking
garage the existing landscape should be protected and retained along with
the retention of as much of the native grass as possible.
Bob said in order to get the lift corridor down and accommodate return
skiing and grooming etc. there will be no vegetation between the skier chalet
steak house and the fence line. Along the north side of the Dolinsek
property the trees will be retained.
Michael went over all the conditions: 1-8 are acceptable.

#9 condition amended. Ann added a condition that some kind of interpretive
signage go on the Deep Powder cabins. Amy suggested adding that staff
will have an advisory roll with the Ski Company about the repair and
rehabilitation of the cabins. The board agreed.
# 12 amended. Add pool house and change may to will be revisited.
# 14 amended. Two year period to submit a development plan.
# 15 amended. Work with parks to retain and restore native grasses where
appropriate. The area in and around the bottom terminus of Lift one, the
poma and the ski back corridor.
# 16 The conceptual approval set forth herein and the lift one COWOP
master plan are considered the appropriate culmination of negotiations
commenced pursuant to ordinance 48 regarding the property located at 233
Gilbert Street, Skier Chalet lodge.
# 17 The HPC recommends to city council that it approves the lift one
COWOP master plan and approval of negotiations to Ord. 48 regarding the
property at 233 Gilbert Street.
Amy suggested that a condition be added regarding the historic buildings
indicating a phasing plan.
# 18 The applicant will present a phasing plan at final review regarding the
historic buildings.
Brian asked if the board was concerned about losing potential funding in the
future from the federal government for upkeep of preservation. Amy said
the steak house is not on the national register and moving the building will
eliminate it being on the register. We are compromising its historic integrity
in a certain sense and we all struggled with that but came to the point that we
were leaving it in its best situation.
Bob said we clearly have the obligation to designate the skier's chalet lodge
after its relocation.. Do we have the same obligation with the steak house
after it is moved? It probably should be designated.
Chris Bendon said our approach to the ordinance in the master plan is to
undesignated the land that the steak house sits on now and the new parcel
that is created for the steak house to sit on will be designated historic. The
6
ASPEN HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION
MINUTES OF OCTOBER 8, 2008
historic designation moves with the steak house. That was the intent of the
ordinance.
Jim True recommended a statement be added to the resolution that both
buildings will be designated.
# 19 Historic designations will be pursued by the applicant for the skier
chalet steak house and the skier chalet lodge.
MOTION: Brian moved to approve resolution #23, 2008 subject to the
changes and conditions stated above by the commission this evening; second
by Ann. Roll call vote: Brian, yes; Ann,yes; Nora, yes; Michael,yes. Motion
carried 4-0.
204 N. Monarch -final review cont'd from 9/10/08
Sarah was seated.
Public notice -Exhibit I
Sara said during the approvals for conceptual HPC had a few conditions of
approval:
1. One was to study the front porch.
2. Push the development back from the west lot line to be in line with the
adjacent Blue Vic.
3. Restudy the depth of the eaves on the entire house to be .more
proportionate with the historic context.
Staff found that the applicant has satisfied conditions 2 and 3. The issue of
the front porch has not changed since conceptual. It would be helpful if
HPC gave specific recommendations on the front porch. Overall staff is
concerned about a few issues with the final proposal. The front porch
proportions and also the combination of the proposed materials.
Issues to discuss tonight:
Landscape. There are trees proposed in the alleyway which is not open.
Staff recommends the Parks Dept. work with the monitor and applicant to
come up with a solution. Staff feels no trees should be planted in the
alleyway to preserve the open feel. Another aspect should be the trees that
are proposed between the Blue Vic and the new house. The proposed line of
7
ASPEN HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION
MINUTES OF OCTOBER 8, 2008
trees doesn't reflect the traditional landscape that you would have seen.
Rose bushes or lilacs are more in characteristic of this time period.
Front porch: Staff feels the elements of the front porch are still dis-
proportionate specifically with the porch of the Blue Vic. We think that the
short sandstone bases and metal columns and the combination of materials
and weight doesn't have any relationship to either Victorian on either side of
the new building. We are recommending that the applicant continue to
restudy the front porch. The guideline sited is 11.9.
Staff is also concerned about the slanted chimney cap. It is an interesting
element but is distracting in the historic context and it is not appropriate for
the historic site. Also the proposed light fixtures are very contemporary and
they should be simplified to meet guideline 14.6.
Materials: The materials: Staff is concerned about the combination of
materials because they really don't relate to the historic resource.
Stan Clauson, Clauson Associates, Inc.
Landscape plan. Stan said alternations have been made after reading the
resolution. Wood rose and common lilac along the border between the
historic resource and the proposed residence. We would like to place some
bristle cone pine in that area for screening. That could be best done with
staff and monitor on-site. Historically there was very little plantings and
mostly trees. We have photographs to that respect.
Alleyway: The subdivision improvement calls for a new sidewalk on
Bleeker and a sidewalk agreement along Monarch to allow for the
installation of a sidewalk whenever the City deems this appropriate. The
restoration of a curb cut and installation of a typical tree planting at the
throat of the alley. The trees we propose in the alley are not specifically
addressed in the subdivision agreement but not prohibited. It seems to be a
reasonable way to use the space.
Jeffrey Halferty, architect:
The front porch can be massaged and we can work with staff and monitor.
We looked at the column posts and stone and we can simplify a lot of things
to meet the goals of the HPC. We were trying to create a product of its own
time. We didn't want a turned post because we didn't want it to be
Victorian. The new materials are represented in the mockup. Red stone

ASPEN HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION
MINUTES OF OCTOBER 8, 2008
mahogany with cedar shake and zinc elements. We would prefer a clad
window due to maintenance and we can match the style and shape but we
can discuss that with the clients. The chimney cap was just an
embellishment and a protective element. We can do away with it and work
with staff and monitor. The lighting fixture is something that we can
simplify and make a less modern fixture and not replicate an historic feature.
We prefer to use a natural wood and we feel barn wood is not appropriate.
The simplest way would be to do a painted clapboard detail but that doesn't
set it as a product of its own time. The wood siding is a large element of this
house. We satisfied HPC goals with the mass and scale. We have pushed
back the depths of the eaves which helps. We are trying to make the
material palate comply with the guidelines for infill.
Tim Semrau:
Photograph -Exhibit II
Tim said the owner of the Blue Vic and us would like a little screening
between the houses. On the materials the stone is the same as around the
Jerome. We very much believe in the HPC guidelines and making the
house as part of its time. Our materials help differentiate it from the historic
resources.
On condition #3 we would like it changed and we are willing to look at other
window options.
We would like the removal of condition #5 and have that be a discussion
with the Parks Department as to how they would like to treat that.
Clarifications and questions:
Sarah said part of the porch element came back and hit the house. The
sketch that Tim handed out only addresses the post and there is no change to
the massing. Everything here we are seeing is what we are being asked to
approve.
Tim said except the fascia detail on the 3-d drawing is inaccurate.
Jeffrey said the metal cladding can be discussed and we could go to a wood
fabric.
Tim said the final material of the post can match the final material on the
siding.
9
ASPEN HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION
MINUTES OF OCTOBER 8, 2008
Sarah asked what kind of material the siding is. Tim said mahogany. The
size and height are correct. The spacing between the board is like a rain
screen on the entire house.
Chairperson Michael Hoffman opened the public hearing. There were no
public comments. The public hearing portion of the agenda item was closed.
Sarah commented on the porch and the tapered columns are a nice addition
and work well on the house. The new fascia detail is more complimentary
and in keeping with the guidelines.
Ann said the revisions of the porch are fine and the materials are
appropriate. Texturally they are different and a nice solution. The windows
are fine. Amore contemporary- light should be researched.
Sarah said the material palate is fine and having the rain screen is OK. I am
in favor of the metal clad windows. The mahogany is beautiful and with a
little stain will work well. The palate has a lot of the same thing but that
could be OK. The most important thing is the mass and scale and we have
reached that. The details need to be kept fine and keep the rusty look out of
it.
Brian said he has no problem with what is being proposed. The photos
presented showing how the mahogany siding works are very helpful. It is
something that can work. If the siding is mahogany I would said eliminate
the spacing in between or go with a painted siding that allows the spacing to
occur. The windows are fine.
Tim said the gap in the siding gives a shadow line and we can certainly work
with staff on the size of that gap. I've done it a couple of times. On the
porch return the neighbor to the north has the same return and secondly it is
in line with the windows. The side of the porch dies into the wall. We could
certainly go to cedar shingles rather than shakes.
Jeffrey said they can simplify the chimney cap.
Brian stated that the landscaping in the alley is beneficial to the applicants
and the people next door. The houses are relatively close together.
10
ASPEN HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION
MINUTES OF OCTOBER 8, 2008
The alley is gone and has basically lost its use and it might as well be
planted as long as they are traditional plant materials.
Sarah concurred with Brian and Ann.
Stan said the city could open the alley at anytime. Stan said they will work
with the Parks department and ask Mr. Hodgson to get involved and
hopefully he will participate.
Sarah said it needs to be thought out as to what it will look like in 30 years.
Ann said the applicant has worked hard to make this work and the conditions
can be worked out with staff and monitor.
Michael went over the conditions:
1. Front porch is approved as presented tonight.
2. The palate is approved with further review in terms of refinement of
the detailing and the choice of final roof material. (detail of rain
screen) (detail of posts).
3. Eliminate
4. Chimney cap eliminated and to be restudied and reviewed by staff and
monitor.
5. Landscaping in alley to be approved by staff, monitor and the Parks
Department.

720 E. Hyman Ave. -Aspen Athletic Club -Minor Development
And Landmark Designation
ll
ASPEN HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION
MINUTES OF OCTOBER 8, 2008
Jason Lasser, planner said this is a voluntary designation. Designation has
three criteria, (a)the event pattern or trend related to local histories (b)
people who .contributed and in this case it was Robin Molny (c) physical
design and whether it contributes. We are looking at the exterior.
The second component is minor review. Keep the existing planters which
are in the right-of--way guideline 1.16. There is no encroachment license.
Engineering doesn't have a problem with that if they are not modified or
changed at all. They are OK with the conifer trees being removed from the
planters but they are not OK with redoing anything structural on the walls of
the planters. Guideline 2.9 covering original building materials. Right now
they are painted and we are recommending removal of the paint.
Guideline 3.3 keeping ratio to the windows. They are adding a new floor on
the interior side, the courtyard space. Right now it is a two story volume.
They are proposing to put a floor in there so the perception is that you look
through the exterior glazing and that floor line will interrupt the vertical
glazing that is butt jointed along the facade. There will also be a glass
railing. I am not sure HPC has purview over the inside but it is something
that you will perceive from the exterior, guideline 3.3.
Guideline 3.5, 3.7 talk about the windows. They are proposing to replace
the plywood hoppers that are in two locations. There are two glue lamb
beans across that create a horizontal structure and in between that is the
glazing. Above that is a line of hopper windows that fold out to provide
ventilation. They are proposing to replace those with glazing in the same
location and they are not changing the proportions or the framing detail.
Staff supports the change.
Guideline 4.1 talks about preserving the doors. On the ground floor there
are sliding doors. You can open the doors and it looks like a transparent
space. The proposal is that the doors be fixed and staff is recommending
that they keep the existing aluminum clad sliding doors.
14.6 and 14.7 relates to the lighting. We haven't seen any lighting and that
should be discussed. Staff recommends approval of designation and the
minor review with conditions.
Condition:
Keeep existing doors on the ground floor.
Remove the conifers. If the planters are replaced Parks has a planting
recommendation.
12
ASPEN HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION
MINUTES OF OCTOBER 8, 2008
Remove the beige paint to reveal the existing wood.
If planters are modified or removed that will have to be put within the lot
line.
Amy pointed out that there are pictures that the planters are original. Robin
Molny studied at Taliesen. The integration of the inside to the outside
would have been important. You can see through the building and how the
flooring on the inside comes out. These planters are important and are part
of modern historic landscape in which we do not have many examples of in
town. Staff feels they should stay.
Rich Kailen, architect with Charles Cunniffe.
We would continue the plants on Hyman and plant aspen trees around
Original to. keep the pedestrian link. That would require us to redevelop the
planters. The basement continues out to the lot line and the planters have
done water damage to the basement. We would we rebuild them to what
they were before. Our client loves the building and has already done some
repairs to bring out the character of the wood. He also has put copper
flashing on the glue lamb beans. Either way the planters need to be torn
apart and reworked. The planters are as high as they are because there is a
basement under them. We would also pull off the pavers and determine the
water damage.
Jason said there are solar shades proposed and we need to see how they are
going to be attached to the building.
Rich said the shades would match the color of the existing windows. They
would cantilever off the middle of the structural beams.
Ann said from the exterior you will see a line across the building.
Rich said all the windows would be retained.
Nora said you will no longer see the atrium.
Rich said what we are proposing with the shades is reversible.
Rich said he doesn't feel the doors are historic but we could recreate them.
We want to keep the quality of the building as is. We are proposing to
13
ASPEN HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION
MINUTES OF OCTOBER 8, 2008
replace simple store front window in a medium bronze color insulated
glazing panel that wouldn't change the profile of the exterior.
Michael said the building is very inefficient.
Amy said in the future plans they might be putting residential up above on
the third floor and they could receive growth management exemptions for
the new residential units. If they have net leasable they could have some
relief on some mitigation requirements. It is a nice gesture for the owner to
offer.
Sarah asked when the building was built. Jason said the drawings indicate
1976.
Rich said the public access will be on Original and the existing access will
be Coates Reid and Waldron's dedicated entrance.
Michael said it is hard to perceive how the interior remodel will be perceived
from the outside.
Brian asked about the new design of the planters. Rich said they would be
retained at the 2 x61eve1 and brought to the lot line.
Amy said she feels more discussion should occur with Engineering in order
to come to a middle ground and allow repairs and water proofing. If they
need to get an encroachment license that is OK.
Chairperson, Michael Hoffman opened the public hearing. There were no
public comments. The public hearing portion of the agenda item was closed.
Brian said we are discussing:
Landscaping, planters, window shading and designation.
The board supported designation of the building.
Michael went over the conditions.
Existing ground floor exterior sliding doors: Brian said sliding glass doors
rather than fixed glass would be his preference. Sarah agreed.
14
ASPEN HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION
MINUTES OF OCTOBER 8, 2008
Jason said how the doors are hung is important. If the glazing gets thicker it
might go beyond. Rich said the slider would be insulated and the profile
would not change.
Ann said the planters are an integral part of the project and creating a
directed entrance needs to stay the same.
Rich said a ramp needs to be created on the Original side.
Sarah said this building was designed as a two story atrium and the whole
use of it is changing.
Michael said he is in favor of retaining the existing planters.
Brian said the main concern is that we maintain the main character that was
crafted which is along Hyman.
Nora said the experience from the outside and the inside is critical in this
building.
Brian said if the architect does this properly they can do a Wrightian type
architecture of bringing the inside to the outside and see the internal
functions on both sides of the wall.
Jason the walls are reversible. They are not taking out the glue lambs etc.
Michael said the atrium creates a lack of vitality in the building.
Rich said we can make the floor plate as thin as possible.
Michael said the way that the light plays on the interior atrium is an
important part of the design of the structure. It is not clear to me that this
new design is going to be perceived in the same way as the existing structure
is.
Ann said the interior walls are very transparent.
Lennie Oats said we have acceded to the transparency on the inside and that
is as far as we are willing to go.
15
ASPEN HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION
MINUTES OF OCTOBER 8, 2008
Sarah said we have to make buildings more efficient.
Jason said staff and monitor can look at the details of the floor as it tapers.
Sarah said the proposal hits many of our guidelines, 1.9,1.13, 1.16,2.1, 2.6,
2.7.
MOTION: Sarah moved to approve resolution #25 for 720 E. Hyman Ave.,
Aspen Athletic Club for a minor development and landmark designation with
the following conditions:
1. The applicant will replace the ground floor exterior sliding doors and
maintain their existing configuration and operation.
2. That the applicant will retain the existing planters primarily on the
Hyman side but will look at the planter configuration on Original
Street and work with the new accessible needs and try to maintain as
much of the original landscape as possible.
3. The applicant will remove the Coniferous trees in conjunction with
Parks and Engineering.
4. The beige paint will be removed.
S. The applicant will apply for aright-of-way permit for all the
landscaping items as stated in staff's memo.
6. The applicant will work with parks to choose the appropriate tree
species from the Arbor Guide and those plantings will be
appropriately and carefully considered in size as they grow.
7. The new awning windows are approved.
8. The breeze-alay as proposed are approved but final design will be
approved by staff and monitor.
9. Historic Designation is approved.
