SOMMER Planning and Zoning Commission c/o The City of Aspen Aspen, Colorado RE: Application for Use Determination Dear P & Z Nembers: This is an Application for a Use Determination bv Two Guys from Italy, Inc. The principals in the corporation are David Bromberq and Richard Molinaro. The corporation presently operates a combination jewelry store, art gallery and hair salon in Boulder, Colorado. The Applicants have presently leased space in the Professional Building located at Hunter and Hopkins and plan to operate the sa~e type of facility at that location. The Professional Building is zoned C-l and the Applicants seek a determination that this type of facility is a permitted use in that zone. The intent of the C-l zone according to the Aspen City Code is "to provide for the establishment of commercial uses which are not primarily oriented towards serving the tourist population". The Applicants submit that their facility is not primarily oriented towards the tourist population. As mentioned, the location will have basically three (3) related uses. The first two, jewelry store and art gallery are listed as permitted uses in the zone. These will be operated by Mr. Bromberg who designs and sells very high quality jewelry and shows and sells very high quality art. The hair salon will be operated by Mr. Molinaro and will constitute less than ten percent (10%) of the business. The hair salon operation is directed primarily toward the hair design for models for magazine layouts, advertising, etc. These models will work either for the corporation or will be sent to this facility by outside agencies. Rick and David are both involved in the preparation of layouts for national magazines and in fact work for the Denver Magazine. David's jewelry is used in these layouts to compliment the hair designs of Richard. .0 .. ~. ~. . Planning and Zoning Commission c/o The City of Aspen Aspen, Colorado Although the hair salon will also do work for the public, this will be done by appointment only and will in no way be oriented toward the tourist. The C-l zone is limited to various listed retail commercial establishments and service commercial establishments as well as similar uses. This Application is not for determination that a hair salon is a permitted use in that zone, but rather, that the high class, inter-related operation described above is a permitted use. Thank you very much for your cooperation in this matter. The Applicants respectfully request that you in fact determine that the above-described use is a permitted use in the C-l zone.
