RESOLUTION OF THE ASPEN HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION
(HPC) APPROVING AN APPLICATION FOR MINOR DEVELOPMENT FOR
THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 308 E. HOPKINS AVENUE, LOTS M AND N,
BLOCK 80, CITY AND TOWNSITE OF ASPEN, COLORADO
RESOLUTION N0.7, SERIES OF 2010
PARCEL ID: 2737-073-29-007
WHEREAS, the applicant, Ute City Restaurant, represented by Charles Cunniffe Architects and
Vann Associates, requested approval for roll down canopy sides to surround the outdoor dining area
located at 308 E. Hopkins Avenue, Lots M and N, Block 80, City and Townsite of Aspen,
Colorado, in inclement weather. The property is located within the Commercial Core Historic
District; and
WHEREAS, Section 26.415.070 of the Municipal Code states that "no building or structure
shall be erected, constructed, enlarged, altered, repaired, relocated or improved involving a
designated historic property or district until plans or sufficient information have been submitted
to the Community Development Director and approved in accordance with the procedures
established for their review;" and
WHEREAS, for Minor Development Review, the HPC must review the application, a staff
analysis report and the evidence presented at a hearing to determine the project's conformance
with the City of Aspen Historic Preservation Design Guidelines per Section 26.415.070.0 of the
Municipal Code and other applicable Code Sections. 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; and
WHEREAS, Amy Guthrie, in her staff report dated July 14, 2010, performed an analysis of the
application based on the standards, found that the review standards and the "City of Aspen
Commercial, Lodging and Historic District Design Objectives and Guidelines" were not met, and
recommended denial; and
WHEREAS, during a duly noticed public hearing on July 14, 2010, the Historic Preservation
Commission considered the application, found the application was consistent with the applicable
review standards and approved the application, with conditions, by a vote of 4 to 2.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED:
That HPC hereby approves the proposed Minor Development for the property located at 308 E.
Hopkins Avenue, Lots M and N, Block 80, City and Townsite of Aspen, Colorado subject to the
following:
1. The roll down sides are only approved for the south facade.
2. The roll down sides are only allowed to be dropped during high wind, rain, or snow.
They may not be dropped during non-business hours, or at times when no diners are
occupying the outdoor dining area.
3. The roll down sides may only be installed for use between May I5`h and October 15"' of
each year.
4. The roll down sides require Temporary Use approval by City Council. HPC recommends
that, if Council grants the Temporary Use currently scheduled for review in July 2010, the
approval should expire on October 15, 2011. This will allow enough time to evaluate the
roll down sides, and compliance with the conditions of approval, before allowing them
for summer seasons beyond 2011.
5. This HPC Minor Development approval is site specific and sets no precedent for other
applications.
APPROVED BY THE COMMISSION at its regulay~j~lieeting~6n thg/Ift`" ~y of July, 2010.
