MEMORANDUM
TO: Aspen Historic Preservation Commission
FROM: Amy Guthrie, Historic Preservation Officer
RE: 701 S. Aspen Street, Demolition of Ticket Office- Public Hearing continued from
June 24, 2009
DATE: July 22, 2009
SUMMARY: Willoughby Pazk is owned by the City and was leased to the Aspen Historical
Society after a 1991 voter approval for the creation of a ski museum. Willoughby Pazk is
landmazk designated, and objects in the pazk, namely the Lift 1 towers and the Boat Tow, aze
listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
HPC was first asked to review a museum plan for the site in 2006, when adjacent properties were
purchased for new lodging development. Roazing Fork Mountain Lodge- Aspen, LLC brought
forwazd a proposal to relocate the Skier's Chalet Lodge from uphill on Gilbert Street onto
Willoughby Park to serve as the key facility for the Historical Society. Underground pazking and
other infrastructure to support the museum were proposed. The 2006 application also included a
request to demolish the ticket office, the history of which had perhaps not been fully recognized
at that point. HPC denied the demolition via Resolution #21, Series of 2006. The applicant was
asked to retain the corner of the building that appeazed to be the original 1947 structure.
In May 2008, Staff informed HPC that the roof of the ticket office had collapsed. The boazd
asked that the City perform some stabilization on the building, which occurred. That summer the
Lift 1 COWOP began, and in the fall HPC granted Conceptual approval, which included
removing all additions made to the ticket office over the years, so that the 1950's era footprint
and character could be re-established. It was felt that more historic fabric representing the
second phase of the building was intact and should be preserved.
The project that came out of the Lift 1 COWOP process met with some debate at City Council.
The various partners will not proceed together as hoped, and the timeline for the museum project
is uncertain. Roazing Fork Mountain Lodge- Aspen LLC has affirmed their commitment to the
2006 proposal.
There has been some concern and debate about the responsibility for the repair of the ticket
office. It has been determined by the City that the Historical Society is obligated to upkeep of the
facilities on the site. Obviously budget concerns make them wary of undertaking the planned
restoration work.
Staff is concerned that almost a yeaz and a half of sitting in a collapsing condition has not helped
the historic resource or been the best example of stewazdship. Obviously plans for this site have
been a moving tazget. This is a factor that HPC needs to consider. Staff recommends the
Commissioners visit the site before the hearing.
P2
During the eazlier discussions of this building, the numerous changes made to it over the yeazs
were discussed in terms of the value of preservation efforts. HPC felt that the goal could still be
achieved. The roof collapse, unsurprising given the age and modest construction, has added
another factor to be weighed. Funding is a cleaz problem.
We do not find enough evidence in the application that the building is beyond repair, therefore
we recommend against total demolition. Additional cooperative work will be needed to resolve
this situation.
APPLICANT: Aspen Historical Society, leaseholder of Willoughby Pazk
ADDRESS/Parcel ID: Willoughby Pazk (PID# 2735-131-16-851) is located at the comer of
Dean and South Aspen Streets and is described as Lots 1-14, Block 7 and Lots 1-3, Block 8, Eames
Addition to the City and Townsite of Aspen, Colorado.
ZONING: Willoughby Pazk is zoned "Pazk."
DEMOLITION
26.415.080. Demolition of designated historic properties. HPC shall review the application,
the staff report and heaz evidence presented by the property owners, parties of interest and
members of the general public to determine if the standazds for demolition approval have been
met. Demolition shall be approved if it is demonstrated that the application meets any one of the
following criteria:
a. The property has been determined by the City to be an imminent hazazd to public safety
and the owner/applicant is unable to make the needed repairs in a timely manner,
STAFF RESPONSE: No evidence has been submitted that the building is an "imminent
hazard." It has been secured and has remained in the current condition for some time.
b. The structure is not structurally sound despite evidence of the owner's efforts to properly
maintain the structure,
STAFF RESPONSE: The application includes a structural report provided to the City that does
not conclude the building is structurally unsound. Larry Doble, a structural engineer employed in
the City Engineering Department, has concurred with that general assessment.
The referenced report states that exterior walls that were inspected "did not appeaz to be
structurally compromised." Direction is given for next steps in removing debris and planning for
repairs. An important goal seems to be lifting away the destroyed elements in order to fully
reveal what lies beneath.
c. The structure cannot practically be moved to another appropriate location in Aspen, or
STAFF RESPONSE: The structure's significance is directly tied to the site and relocation
would be meaningless.
a. No documentation exists to support or demonstrate that the property has historic,
azchitectural, azchaeological, engineering or cultural significance and
2
STAFF RESPONSE: This azea is significant as Aspen's original ski base and the core of any
skier's experience in the early days of the resort. A center of activity, this was the origination
point of the ski lifts, the location of most of the lodging available in Aspen, and the site of
national and international ski races that made Aspen world famous starting with the U.S. World
Alpine Championship in 1941.
The Boat Tow, modeled after those used at Kitzbuhl, Austria,
was constructed on Aspen Mountain in 1937. It was replaced in
1947, with Lift 1, at the time the longest chairlift in the world.
The Boat Tow was a pair of wooden toboggans that were hauled
up Aspen Mountain with steel cables, connected to a Model A
Ford engine. The only remaining pieces of this lift aze the two
toboggans, one which sits in Willoughby Pazk (and has been
recently evaluated for preservation needs by a wood scientist)
and one which is in the possession of the Aspen Historical
Society. Lift 1 operated until it was replaced in 1972 by Lifr 1 A,
located further uphill. Most of the towers and equipment
associated with Lift 1 were removed. In 1974 Willoughby Pazk
and the remnants of the Boat Tow and Lift 1 became the fifth
properly to be designated a landmazk in Aspen, demonstrating
the community's recognition of their significant historic value.
National Register of Historic Places in 1990.
HPC's endorsement of the Lift 1 Master Plan included restoring the ticket office to the 1950s
size illustrated below. However, staff has been advised that HPC's 2006 approval for
demolishing all but the original comer (above right) is the only approval that has status because
the Master Plan is now defunct. The Historical Society asserts that the 1947 corner has little
integrity, even prior to the roof collapse. Staff believes that the City, HPC, and the Historical
Society, three entities with primary responsibility for the preservation of our heritage, should
work together to determine the most that can be accomplished for the community.
3
The lifts were listed on the
P4
Along with the criteria discussed above, for approval to demolish, all of the following must
be met:
a. The structure does not contribute to the significance of the pazcel or historic district in
which it is located and
STAFF RESPONSE: Staff finds that this criterion is not met, based on the history provided
eazlier in the memo.
b. The loss of the building, structure or object would not adversely affect the integrity of the
historic district or its historic, azchitectural or aesthetic relationship to adjacent designated
properties and
STAFF RESPONSE: Staff finds that this criterion is not met, based on the history provided
eazlier in the memo. The property maintains a great deal of historic chazacter because the setting
is very intact. No significant physical alterations have occurred in Willoughby Pazk, either of the
Chalet buildings, or Lift 1 Pazk. The Historical Society is expressing a desire to interpret the site
to its 1947 appearance.. This should be given weight in HPC's evaluation. Staff finds it difficult
to rationalize demolition of structures that azguably contribute to Aspen's story in order to
represent eazlier eras, however the Historical Society, if any organization, has the most legitimate
reason to pursue a specific interpretive plan and it is important to discuss this point.
c. Demolition of the structure will be inconsequential to the historic preservation needs of
the azea.
STAFF RESPONSE: Given the intention to preserve and interpret this property as the origins
of Aspen's ski history, staff does not find that demolishing the ticket office meets this review
criterion.
The HPC rosy:
• approve the application,
• approve the application with conditions,
• disapprove the application, or
• continue the application to a date certain to obtain additional information necessary
to make a decision to approve or deny.
Additional information
As is the case with all major decisions of HPC, the boazd's determination will be forwazded to
City Council, who may "call up" the issue for review within 30 days.
If the demolition request is denied because it does not meet the standazds, the applicant may
request demolition approval based upon a finding of "economic hardship," based on additional
language in the Code.
4
P5
Before a demolition permit will be issued, a certificate of appropriateness for the redevelopment
or reuse plan, must be approved. When a demolition permit must be issued because the building,
structure or object is an imminent hazard or because of the issuance of a certificate of economic
hazdship, the permit may be received prior to the approval of an acceptable reuse plan.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff would recommend that HPC deny the request for total
Demolition finding that the review standazds have not been met. We understand the
complications of rehabilitating the structure but find that it is necessary and appropriate.
It appears however, that the most important next step is to act on the removal of debris in order to
better assess condition and physical integrity of any part of the building. Staff recommends that
be undertaken and that a determination on demolition be continued to a date that allows for the
work to be completed. Our recommendation is continuation to the first HPC meeting in
November, 2009.

REPORT OF FINDINGS
RE: City of Aspen - 700 Aspen, 31' x 29' Building, Aspen CO

At your request Western Engineering and Research Corporation (WERC) has conducted a site
observation at the address referenced above. The propose for our investigation was to evaluate reported
partial roof collapse of the Aspen Ski/Snowboard School. This writer visited the site and observed visible
conditions on July 9, 2008.
BACKGROUND
According to the City of Aspen Detail Report for the Aspen Ski/Snowboard School, the structure was
built in 1964. The structure was cone-story building with a full height finished basement. The main
floor walls were conslructed with conventional wood framing. The roof structure was constructed of
dimension lumbei roof joists and finished with abuilt-up roof that was ballasted with gravel. The
foundation was constructed of concrete slabon-grade and concrete foundation walls.
Tha following was provided by Stephen Ellspermatt of the City of Aspen Pazks Departrnent. The roof
had collapsed during the heavy snows of the winter of 2007-2008. The structure was in the responsible
charge of the Aspen Historical Society.
According to the Aspen City Parks Department and the Aspen Historical Society, over 450 inches of
snow fell during the 2007-2008 winter sewn. The structure collapsed during the month of March; the
specific data is unknown. 'jECEIVED

P30 MEMORANDUM
T0: Aspen Historic Preservation Commission
through Amy Guthrie
FROM: Georgia Hanson, Aspen Historical Society
RE: 701 S. Aspen Street, Demolition of Building -Update
DATE: July 10, 2009
Here is the Lift One Building Time Line as we can best reconstruct:
• 1947 -Original chair lift is opened and a "ticket" shack is
constructed right next to it. Slope of roof is north to south -higher
edge facing Red Mountain.
• 1950's (exact date unknown) -New building replaces ticket booth
(one story) reportedly to add a warming but space for guests.
• Date Unknown -Two story addition tacked on the back (north) to
allow for storage and more square footage on "first floor". It is
believed that this addition was completed by the City Recreation
Department possibly after Ski Company donated park to City?
Ownership and/or liability issues aside, the historic value and remnants
of the current building have little compelling significance for the site in
the opinion of the Aspen Historical Society. The building may hold
nostalgic memories for many of us, but the significance of the edifice is
questionable. It is unremarkable and other buildings expected to land on
the site will serve to commemorate the era. It is our hope that HPC will
support our request and join us in what we feel is a win-win solution.
The current approval in place is a site plan discussed and signed off on
by the Historic Preservation Commission in 2006. While this approval
differs substantially from the COWOP proposal which was reviewed by
the current Commission, it is nonetheless equally valid as an expression
of an era -it's just different. The fact that both Commissions (2006 and
2008) belabored the choice between two buildings indicates the validity
of both decisions, doesn't it?
At the time of the original Roaring Fork Mountain Lodge approval, there
was concern expressed by the Commission for what was becoming a
"petting zoo" approach due to the number of age appropriate buildings
being relocated to this site. At the time we did not have an interpretive
vision in place and therefore had little to add to the conversation that
took place between the developer and the Commission. We were a
stakeholder but we had yet to work out a plan.
Since that time the Aspen Historical Society has developed a preliminary
interpretive plan and an expanded vision for the site. This plan includes
a desire to highlight and present a snapshot of the first lift experience in
1947. The lift is clearly our main focal point for orientation and we want
to feature the experience with the lift corridor as our introduction to the
park and to the story of modern Aspen. We are pleased to be able to
embrace a site plan that supports our intent more authentically than the
more recent site plans you were asked to consider and therefore implore
you to join our enthusiasm for the preservation of a 1947 experience
that allows us to interpret in specific language about a specific year.
Careful inspection of the attached photos will demonstrate the clear
differences between the 1947 building and what followed. Note that the
roof slant on the original ticket booth is the opposite of the roof slant on
the later building that popped up in the early to mid-fifties. This
documented difference would suggest that there is nothing left of the
original building to consider preserving. Further exploration of the photos
substantiates the fact that authentic restoration is impossible -the
siding was changed from board and batten and the windows are also
different. While we haven't been able to elicit personal testimony so far,
it would appear that the ticket booth was torn down and replaced by a
different building. Still, we are able to re-create (replicate) the ticket
booth from photos. The opportunity to replicate the building in its original
design and to create a "snapshot" of that glorious day is exciting and we
think the~concept deserves your enthusiastic support.
In support of the demolition permit request, we have attached an
engineering report prepared at the request of our insurance agent and
an asbestos report prepared for the City. These reports support the
precarious status of the existing building and the need for demolition.
Also attached are photographs of the damaged building as it now looks
to support the futility of trying to preserve any pieces - especially in light
of the serious doubt that any are original.

Willoughby Park and the Ski Club Building - A Summary:
What is currently known as Willoughby Park is the iconic representation
of the birth of skiing as a recreation activity in the valley. Lift One base
and towers are on the National Historic Register and there is no question
that the area is a precious opportunity for us to stay connected to our
roots in skiing. The Aspen Historical Society relishes the opportunity to
explore our story on this site.
That said, there is serious deliberation to be had about what constitutes
preserving the site and how it shall be planned. The immediate issue
with one collapsed building will demonstrate the complexity of the
situation.
The building in question began in 1947 as a tiny shack with a window for
lift ticket sales. At some point in the early 1950's it was extended at that
same level to serve as a warming but we are told. Eventually the building
became the domain of Ted Armstrong -City Parks and Recreation.
Another addition came along (we presume under direction of Ted when it
served as a Rec Center?). After Ted, the Rugby Club occupied the
building and then The Aspen Winter Club (ASC) ran the fledgling Aspen
Supports Kids (ASK) program out of the site - we ran a number of World
Cups out of that Headquarters (1992, '93, & '94). Eventually, The Winter
Club merged with the Aspen Ski Club to become AVSC in 1995.
A brief summary of recent events:
• Voters gave approval for the City of Aspen (COA) to grant a lease to
the Aspen Historical Society (AHS) in 1991 by a mandate of 82%.
• A lease was executed that gave joint occupancy to the Aspen Ski
Club (sic AVSC) and AHS because the Ski Club occupied the
existing building at that time.
• The lease was amended to remove AVSC when they moved to new
digs in 2000.
• The building was turned over to AHS virtually by default (there was
never an intent that this building would be the museum although
there is certainly an opportunity to make it part of a historic story).
• AHS enlarged the lower access doors and stored future ski
museum artifacts in the basement.
• At a date uncertain (approximately 2004) the Soccer Club
approached AHS to request usingthe office space on upper floor.
AHS went to the City and received permission to sub-let. There was
no rent charged, the Soccer Club picked up the utility charges.
P48
__
In 2007 (date not certain) the Soccer Club notified AHS that there I'
was a serious roof leak. AHS put a temporary rubber skin cover
over the existing roof with the understanding that this would solve
the problem short-term. Long-term expectation was that the
building would either go away or be reduced to original ticket booth
size.
Meanwhile, in 2006 the site became part of a larger plan to
redevelop the east side of Aspen Street and AHS agreed to support
a plan proposed by what was then known as Roaring Fork
Mountain Lodge LLC (RFML).
As a result of the first round with HPC, it was approved that the
only piece of the buildingto be preserved would be the original
ticket booth.
At about the same time, the intrusion of the elements made using.
the building pretty sketchy. The Soccer Club moved out and a pipe
burst flooding the basement area. Consequently, AHS removed all
artifact, being forced to discard some and take urgent efforts to
save others -ultimately moving them to storage down valley and
leaving the building empty. roved for RFML was
Anticipated action on the original plan app
postponed by the formation of the Lift One Master Plan COWOP
leaving the building status in limbo. (AHS was expecting to rely on
RFML to pick up the cost and responsibility for the building after
approvals were final.)
Lift One Master Plan resulted in a new journey through HPC and a
new determination that the upper piece of the building should be
restored instead of just the ticket office.
Meanwhile, as all of these steps were taking place, a
phenomenally severe winter caused the roof of the buildingto
collapse.
The current condition of the building makes if virtually impossible
to restore without unreasonable cost. The official reports from AHS
insurance company are still pending and will be prdvided to you
shortly. Still the verbal information from the investigators
reinforces the futility of tryingto restore a building that was not
likely intended for long-term use in the first place. The beams are
2X6's which causes engineers to just shake their heads. There is
asbestos and there is mold. It isn't a compelling project under any
circumstances.
S0, where do we go from here? We are proposing that the building be
demolished after careful documentation with the expectation that it will
2
P49
be replicated should that be the final solution agreed upon with HPC.
However, it isn't really appropriate for AHS to be held responsible for the
replication given the circumstances and the intent.
I told you it's complicated. I think we need to come up with a solution
that suitsthe best interests of all the parties without gettingtoo hung up
on the letter of the law (during the discussion). I hope all parties will
share this opinion upon review.
The original lease for AHS was to "build a museum" on the site. John
Worcester has stated that his position on the lease is that we don't have
a lease for the entire park, just for the museum we will build. Still,
somehow, AHS ended up with the responsibility for the existing Ski Club
building, almost by default it would appear. I have not been able to trace
the timeline on how all this happened, but I challenge the duplicity in a
documeht that doesn't give us a lease on the park but makes us
responsible for items in the park.
Last but not least, the Exhibit A attachment to the lease that would
delineate the site occupancy as intended is missing. Both the City and
AHS have combed records to find one copy of the original lease with that
attachment -without success. It is impossible to second guess that
document.
Movingforward, AHS has consistently carried insurance coverage for the
entire Willoughby Park site. I inherited the package so I can't speak to
why or how, although I'm sure it was to comply to lease requirements.
When the roof collapsed (winter 2007-8) we took steps, with help from
the Parks Department, to ensure the building was roped off and we
deemed it uninhabitable. There was no attempt to do anything else
because of the anticipated major rehab that would be coming to the
entire area soon. We have been participating in the "look" of the most
expensive storage site downtown waitingfor somethingto be decided.
As Scott Miller reviewed City assets and discovered our shack in such
bad condition, he contacted us to discuss the situation. He asked us to
file an insurance claim for the damage and we have done that. The
outcome of the claim is still pending. I am most anxious not to spend
unnecessary funds on the repair of this building given its uncertain
future. Scott Miller and Steve Bossart both support the request for
3
P50
demolition as the most reasonable, practical and functional decision. It
simply isn't in a state to restore.
The bigger questions, presuming that you will support the concept of
replication, are 1) who dyes it and 2) what portion is done.
It is impossible to tell what will happen with this site in the next few
years. It may be that the COWOP Lift One Master Plan will be revived and
reduced mass and approved. It may be that the RFML developers will
decide to move forward with a separate plan. If that happens, they likely
will need to revisit their site plan due to changes in lot line proposals so
the concept of moving the Skier Chalet Steak House down, etc. may well
come off the plate. It may be that the proposal goes away and AHS is left
to its own devises for a museum plan. The AHS board of directors is
unanimously committed to proceeding with a new museum.
In truth, AHS would be better off designing a new building and not
dealing with the retrofit required by inheriting a chalet lodge. Still we are
consummately community players and will make the chalet work -likely
with a modern addition - if that is the best solution for the common good.
But all of these considerations are moving targets that prevent any kind
of definitive decision on the future of the park and, in my opinion, the Ski
Club building.
So, what we are really asking is for permission to demolish a building
that is a health and safety threat without any guarantee for replacement
unless the City wants to accept that obligation. There is also the
question of the cost of demolition, unless it is determined to wait for a
decision on development first. It simply isn't in our mission or on our list
of priorities to pick up pieces that weren't intended for us and I hope you
all agree with this. We would have to abandon our current strategic plan
and revisit our goals just to fund this 'housekeeping item' if we are
required to assume this responsibility. To reiterate, I'm speaking to
"intent" of the existing lease not taking a legal position. I suspect
attorneys could wrangle and we would end up liable if we have to go that
route. I'm looking for a better answer.
I have attached photos of the building in all its many different iterations
over the years. I am personally challenged to pick my favorite - so many
memories go along with each stage. Nor can I applythe guidelines and
thereby know which iteration is more representative of your stated goals.
For that reason, I tend to turn to the original ticket booth as the favored
4
design to replicate - in spite of a sentimental attachment to the longer
building. (Please note the flipped roof arigle between the two.)
I believe there is an opportunity, still, to save portions of that original
corner to be re-used and absolutely commit to investigating the viable
and compelling elements to preserve prior to demolition..
We look forward to this dialogue.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Aspen Historic Preservation Commission
THRU: Amy Guthrie, Historic Preservation Officer
FROM: Sara Adams, Historic Preservation Planner
RE: 434 East Cooper Avenue, Major Development Review (Conceptual), Viewplane
and Commercial Design Review- Public Hearing
DATE: July 22, 2009
APPLICANT/OWNER:
Bert Bidwell Investment Corporation,
434 East Cooper Street, Aspen, CO.
REPRESENTATIVE:
Mitch Haas, Haas Land Planning; LLC,
Klein, Cote & Edwards P.C.; Rowland
+ Broughton Architecture.
LOCATION:
Lots Q, R and S, Block 89, City and
Townsite of Aspen, CO, commonly
known as 434 East Cooper Street.
CURRENT ZONING & USE
CC, Commercial Core Historic Zone
District containing a two story (above
grade) office/retail building.
PROPOSED LAND USE: The applicant
proposes to redevelop the 9,000 square
foot parcel with a new mixed use
building.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Historic Preservation
Commission grant Major Development Conceptual
approval, Viewplane Exemption and Commercial Design
Standard Review approval.
SUMMARY: The HPC is asked to review the redesign at
434 East Cooper Street for Major Development
Conceptual, Viewplane Exemption and Commercial
Design Standard Review approvals.
PROJECT SUMMARY: The Applicant, Bert Bidwell Investment Corporation, has reviewed
approval to demolish the existing office/retail building located at the corner of Cooper Avenue
and Galena Street that is located on a 9,000 square foot lot and redevelop the site with a new
mixed-use building containing commercial, affordable housing, and free market residential uses.
The existing property is located in the Commercial Core (CC) zone district. It is also located in
Page 1
Photo of subject property.
P60
the Commercial Core Historic District although not deemed contributing to the district and the
existing building has been approved for demolition by the Historic Preservation Commission
(HPC).
As a proposed building in the Commercial Core Historic District, the Historic Preservation
Commission has purview over the design. On July 21, 2009, the Planning and Zoning
Commission (P & Z) was asked to make referral comments regarding the Commercial Design
Standard Review to the HPC. Staff will relay the comments to HPC on July 22, 2009.
PREVIOUS APPROVALS: Iri 2007, HPC granted Major Development Conceptual and Viewplane
Exemption approvals, demolition approval and Commercial Design Standard Review approval
for the proposed redevelopment of the subject parcel. After the HPC reviews, the P & Z
reviewed the project and granted Growth Management approval for new commercial
development, new residential development and affordable housing. P & Z recommended
subdivision approval to City Council. During the City Council review concerns were raised
regazding height, scale, mass and a lack of public amenity space. City Council denied the
subdivision request.
In an effort to respond to Council's and the public's concerns, the application made significant
changes to the design and requested that Council reconsider the application. City Council
approved reconsideration of the application and remanded review of the new design back to HPC
for Major Development Conceptual, Viewplane Exemption and Commercial Design Standard
Review. The previous Growth Management approvals and P & Z's subdivision recommendation
aze still valid. The application is still reviewed pursuant to the Mazch 2006 Land Use Code.
MAJOR DEVELOPMENT (CONCEPTUAL)
The procedure for a Major Development Review, at the Conceptual level, is as follows. Staff
reviews the submittal materials and prepares a report that analyzes the project's conformance
with the design guidelines and other applicable Land Use Code Sections. This report is
transmitted to the HPC with relevant information on the proposed project and a
recommendation to continue, approve, disapprove or approve with conditions and the reasons
for the recommendation. The HPC will review the application, the staff analysis report and the
evidence presented at the hearing to determine the project's conformance with the City of
Aspen Historic Preservation Design Guidelines. The HPC may approve, disapprove, approve
with conditions, or continue the application to obtain additional information necessary to
make a decision to approve or deny.
Major Development is a two-step process requiring approval by the HPC of a Conceptual
Development Plan, and then a Final Development Plan. Approval of a Conceptual
Development Plan shall be binding upon HPC in regards to the location and form of the
envelope of the structure(s) and/or addition(s) as depicted in the Conceptual Plan application
including its height, scale, massing and proportions. No changes will be made to this aspect of
the proposed development by the HPC as part of their review of the Final Development Plan
unless agreed to by the applicant.

The property is part of the Commercial Core Historic District and sits on a prominent corner
location downtown. It is in close proximity to important landmarks: Aspen Block Building is
duectly across the alleyway to the north; the Independence Squaze building is located diagonally
across the street; and the Red Onion is located to the west. Directly across Cooper Street is the
old Guido's building, which exhibits a chalet style form. 434 East Cooper borders the Cooper
Pedestrian mall and the Galena Street thoroughfaze and the east facade faces the populaz open
space in front of Paradise Bakery.
DESIGN GUIDELINE REVIEW
Conceptual review focuses on the height, scale, massing and proportions of a proposal. A list
of the design guidelines relevant to Conceptual Review is attached as "Exhibit A." Only those
guidelines which staff fmds the project may be in conflict with, or where discussion is needed,
aze included in the memo.
Staff Response: The applicant redesigned the entire building to respond to the concerns voiced
by the public and City Council. The main concerns were the following:
Lack of public amenity space: The applicant originally designed the building to meet the property
line without any setback or public amenity space. Council and the public were concerned about
the elimination of the open azea in front of the existing Bidwell Building and the impact on the
pedestrian malls and circulation. The applicant was providing cash-in-lieu to satisfy the required
10% pedestrian amenity space (parcels with less than 25% pedestrian amenity currently on the
site aze required to provide no less than 10% pedestrian amenity for a redevelopment.) The
redesign provides 12% pedestrian amenity space in front of the building at the corner of Galena
and Cooper. HP Design Guideline 13.8 below recommends that buildings in the Commercial
Core be placed at the property line to maintain a consistent street edge. The proposal sets 2/3 of
the Cooper Street elevation 18' back from the property line to provide pedestrian amenity space.
Staff fmds that this is an appropriate response. to the concerns raised by the public and by City
Council. A "hitching post" railing is proposed at the property line to define the sidewalk edge as
suggested below.
13.8 Maintain the alignment of facades at the sidewalk's edge.
^ Place as much of the facade of the building at the property line as possible.
^ Locating an entire building front behind the established storefront line is inappropriate.
^ Where a portion of a building must be set back from the sidewalk, use landscape elements
to define the sidewalk edge.
Hei ht: The applicant originally designed the three story building to be 41' at the highest point.
The public and Council were concerned about the impact of the height on surrounding buildings
and the downtown experience. The building is still three stories; however the height has been
dropped to 36'7" at the highest point. The maximum height limit in the Commercial Core for
this project is 46' (the current Code allows a maximum height limit of 42'.) The third story is set
back from the building edge a between approximately 20' to 30' on the Galena Street elevation
and between 10' and 18' on the Cooper Street elevation. Staff finds that the two story elevation
Page 3
P62
closest to the Red Onion is significantly lower than the Red Onion cornice. The third story is
about 2' lower than the highest point of the Red Onion and it is setback 18', which staff fords to
be a successful co~guration of massing that is somewhat subordinate to the historic Onion
building.
Mass and Scale: The original design was a three story building that filled the entire 9,000 square
foot lot with different materials (rather than actual setbacks) to express building modules. In the
new design, a one story element with a deck is proposed at the comer that steps up to two stories,
and a third story is recessed behind the two story pazapet on both the Galena and Cooper Street
elevations. Commercial storefronts aze proposed for the ground and second levels. The building
is located on azguably the most active corner in town and as such it needs to successfully anchor
the comer.
During City Council review of the previous proposal, both Council and the public expressed
concern over filling in the existing open condition at the Bidwell corner and the impact of
building to property lines on the experience at the Pazadise Bakery plaza. The applicant
responded by pulling the building back from the Cooper Pedestrian Mall and dropping the height
of the corner to one story. HP Design Guideline 13.9 below recommends two story infill
buildings in the Commercial Core to maintain consistency with other historic commbrcial
building in the Historic District.
13.9 Maintain the average perceived scale of two-story buildings at the sidewalk.
^ The design of a 3-story building should in some way acknowledge the 2-story chazacter of the
downtown.
^ Floor-to-floor heights should appeaz to be similaz to those seen historically. In particulaz, the
windows in new construction should appeaz similaz in height to those seen traditionally.
Staff is very sensitive to the public comment
received. during the City Council hearings. On one
hand, the one story element and horizontal wooden
railing recalls a false front commercial building
style and reflects the heavily altered old Guido's
chalet building across the pedestrian mall.
However, the integrity of the Historic District relies
on a level of consistency for infill projects to
maintain coherency in the downtown Commercial
Core. The Cowenhoven Building, located at
Hyman and Galena Streets and shown to the right,
is the only historic corner building that is one story
tall. There aze other one story buildings on downtown corners as evidenced in the map on the
page 6. Atypical streetscape from the 19a` century is illustrated below and shows evidence that
two story buildings were generally found at street corners during that time. _

story corner element that steps up to two stories, and ultimately three stories, would arguably fit
into the existing context.
Scale: Council expressed concern over the loss of "western vernacular" in the new building and
over the magnitude of the proposed mass and scale. The redesign incorporates more of a western
vernacular style and proposes 30' and 60' modulations along the Cooper Street elevation and
smaller 20' and 40' modulations along the Galena Street elevation to break up the perceived
mass of the new building. Staff finds that the modules along Cooper Street are successful in
breaking up the building and expressing traditional lot widths.
13.11 Consider dividing larger buildings into "modules" that are similar in width to
buildings seen historically.
o Where buildings are planned to exceed one lot width, use a change in design features to
suggest the traditional building widths. Changes in facade material, window design, facade
height or decorative details are examples of techniques that may be considered. These
variations should be expressed throughout the depth of the structure such that the
composition appears to be a collection of smaller buildings.
The applicant provided a comparison of street level storefront heights of surrounding historic
buildings to the proposed new building. The glazing proposed for the new building is 10' 2" to
the top of the storefront which is about 2' to 4' lower in height than the adjacent historic
storefronts, as measured to the top of the transom. The height of the building relies directly on
interior floor to ceiling heights. Staff finds that the height of the building is appropriate for the
context and responds to Council and the public's concerns; however the height of the proposed
storefronts are not really in scale with nearby historic buildings. Typical storefronts span up to
between 13' and 14' to the top of the transom to permit the maximum amount of sunlight into the
shop. Two examples are below. The Andres Building (left) storefront is 14'2" to top and the
Red Onion (right) storefront is 13' to the top.
Page 7
P66
The Design Guidelines recommend that proportions and scale of facade elements appear in scale
with adjacent historic buildings. Glazing is a Final Review issue, so Staff recommends that the
applicant continue to develop the height of the fenestration on the Cooper and Galena Street
ground level elevations to create a better relationship to the Historic District. Staff recognizes
the relationship between floor to ceiling heights and the overall height of the building. Staff
suggests that the applicant try to increase the storefront height without impacting the height of
the building and recommends that HPC provide clear direction as to whether it is an appropriate
tradeoff to slightly increase the height of the building in order to have the storefronts better relate
to the surrounding historic commercial context. Guideline 13.10 relates to "true three-story
buildings" which Staff interprets as a three story front facade wall. The proposal does not qualify
as a "true" three story building; however the general philosophy that facade components should
be in scale with historic context is relevant.
13.10 True three-story buildings will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
^ In general, a proposed three-story building must demonstrate that it has no negative impact
on smaller, historic structures nearby.
^ The height and proportions of all facade components must appear to be in scale with nearby
historic buildings.
As part of a consolidated application, HPC is asked to grant Commercial Design Review
approval. Applicable review criteria are addressed below. See Exhibit B for a full copy of the
Code section.
COMMERCIAL DESIGN REVIEW AND PEDESTRIAN AMENITY SPACE
An application for Commercial Design Review may be approved, approved with conditions, or
denied based on conformance with the following criteria:
1. The proposed development meets the requirements of Section 26.412.060, Commercial
Design Standards or any deviation from the Standards provides amore-appealing pattern
of development considering the context in which the development is proposed and the
purpose of the particular standard. Unique site constraints can justify a deviation from
the Standards. Compliance with Section 26.412.070, Suggested Design Elements, is not
required but may be used to justify a deviation from the Standards.
2. For proposed development converting an existing structure to commercial use, the
proposed development meets the requirements of Section 26.412.060, Commercial
Design Standards, to the greatest extent practical. Amendments to the facade of the
building may be required to comply with this section.
3. For properties listed on the Inventory of Historic Sites and Structures or located within a
Historic District, the proposed development has received Conceptual Development Plan
approval from the Historic Preservation Commission, pursuant to Chapter 26.415. This
criterion shall not apply if the development activity does not require review by the
Historic Preservation Commission.
Staff Response: The Commercial Design Standards are in many ways similar to HPC's own
guidelines. Staff response to each section is below:
Page S
P67
26.412.Oti0.A. Building Relationship to Primary Street. In summary, this Standazd requires
buildings to be squaze to the street, have consistent setbacks and commercial uses developed at .
the ground level. The general intent is to create a consistent street wall and coherent commercial
downtown to enhazice the pedestrian experience. Staff fmds that the proposed building meets
this Standazd.
26.412.060. B. Pedestrian Amenity. This Standazd specifies the nature and function of the
required pedestrian amenity space: mainly that it is versatile and contributes to the pedestrian
experience. Staff finds that the proposed project meets and exceeds this Standazd by providing
more pedestrian amenity than required onsite (2% more.)
26.412.060.0 Street-level Building Elements. This Standard intends to create successful ground
level storefronts by requiring 60% transpazency at the ground level and defined entrances to
contribute to the pedestrian experience in the Commercial Core: Staff finds that this Standard is
met.
26.412.060.D. Parking. This Standazd requires well-design pazking that does not detract from
the quality of downtown. The applicant proposes a subgrade pazking garage accessed off of the
alley to meet and exceed (by 2 spaces) the pazking requirements for the redevelopment. Staff
finds that the Standazd is met.
26.412.060.E. Utility, Delivery, Trash Service Provision. This Standazd emphasizes well-
designed trash and utility areas that do not impede alley circulation. The project proposes utility,
delivery and trash service that will be screened and located off of the alley. Staff fmds that the
project meets this Standazd.
Overall, Staff fmds that amended massing meets the Commercial Design Standards and
recommends approval.
VIEW PLANE
The application requires approval from the Wheeler Opera House and Jerome View Planes
because the pazcel is located within a view plane as set forth in Land Use Code Section
26.435.050, Mountain View Plane Review.
The Planning and Zoning Commission typically handles View Plane reviews, however the
Community Development Director has the right to consolidate reviews when deemed to be the
most efficient and effective process. HPC shall approve, approve with conditions, or deny the
requested view plane approval. If HPC does not believe that the proposal satisfies the criteria
for construction within a view plane review, HPC may require the application to go through the
PUD review process as is described in Land Use Code Section 26.435.050(0), Mountain view
plane review standards.
HPC is to apply the following criteria to this issue:
Page 9
1. No mountain view plane can be infringed upon except as follows:
When any mountain view plane projects at such an angle so as to reduce the maximum allowable
building height otherwise provided for in this title, development shall proceed according to the
provisions of Chapter 26.455 as a planned unit development, so as to provide for maximum
flexibility in building design with special consideration to bulk and height, open space and
pedestrian space, and similazly to permit variations in lot azea, lot width, yazd and building height
requirements, view plane height limitations.
The Planning and Zoning Commission may exempt any developer from the above enumerated
requirements whenever it is determined that the view plane does not so effect the pazcel as to
require application of PUD or that the effects of the view plane may be otherwise accommodated.
When any proposed development infringes upon a designated view plane, but is located in front
of another development which alreadv blocks the same view plane the Plamm~g and Zomng
Commission shall consider whether or not the proposed development will further mfnnge upon
the view plane and the likelihood that redevelopment of the adiacent structure wrll occur to re-
open the view plane In the event the proposed development does not further mfnnge upon the
view plane and re development to re open the view plane cannot be anricrpated, the Plamm~Q
and Zoning Commission shall approve the development.
Staff Response: Only the southwest comer of the proposed building falls within the Wheeler
Opera House View Plane. The proposed maximum height is about 4'S" below the previous
proposal.
The one story T-shirt shop and four story Moms and Frywald building (see last page of drawings
for View Plane map and photographs) already block the Wheeler Opera House View Plane as it
projects towazds the subject site; therefore, the Mountain Plaza proposal does not directly impact
the View Plane in the current downtown configuration.
The Morris and Frywald Building is under HPC's purview, as it is located in the Commercial
Core Historic District. Future redevelopment of the Moms and Frywald Building would appeaz
to potentially open some of the View Plane; however the landmazk Independence Squaze
building, located across the intersection of Cooper and Galena, infringes upon the Wheeler View
Plane. Due to landmazk status, it is unlikely that Independence Squaze will be redeveloped in the
future.
Staff recommends that HPC grant View Plane approval due to extant buildings, with minimal
likelihood of redevelopment that will open the view plane, blocking the view between the
Wheeler Opera House and Aspen Mountain.
Page 10
P69
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that HPC focus on the following points of
discussion:
• Proposed public amenity and 18' setback
• One story element at corner
• Height and setback third floor
• Tradeoff between heightening the proposed storefront to better relate to the historic
context and the possibility that the height of the building may be slightly increased to
comply with this request.
Overall, Staff finds that the project as proposed meets the HP Design Guidelines for Conceptual
Review, Commercial Design Standazd Review and Viewplane Review, and responds to concerns
voiced by City Council and .the public regazding the redevelopment of this pazcel. Staff
recommends that the applicant continue to study the storefront fenestration heights to better
relate to the historic context for Final Review.
DECISION MAHING OPTIONS:
The HPC may:
• approve the application,
• approve the application with conditions,
• disapprove the application, or
• continue the application to a date certain to obtain additional information necessary
to make a decision to approve or deny.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that HPC grant Major Development (Conceptual),
Commercial Design Standazd approval, and Wheeler Opera House View Plane Exemption for
the property located at 434 East Cooper Avenue, Lots Q, R, and S, Block 89, City and Townsite of
Aspen, Colorado, with the following conditions:
The applicant will continue to study the storefront fenestration heights and the impact to
the overall height of the building to better relate to the historic context for discussion and
approval during Final Review.
A development application for a Final Development Plan shall be submitted within one
(1) yeaz of the date of approval of a Conceptual Development Plan. Failure to file such an
application within this time period shall render null and void the' approval of the
Conceptual Development Plan. The Historic Preservation Commission may, at its sole
discretion and for good cause shown, grant aone-time extension of the expiration date for
a Conceptual Development Plan approval for up to six (6) months provided a written
request for extension is received no less than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration date.
