MEMORANDUM TO: Aspen Historic Preservation Commission FROM: Amy Guthrie, Historic Preservation Officer RE: 610 W. Hallam Street, Minor Development, Public Hearing DATE: February 9, 2011 SUMMARY: 610 W. Hallam is a landmark designated Victorian era miner's cottage. The house was significantly remodeled in 1995, with an expansion on the west and rear, and the addition of a walk out basement. The new property owner is undertaking a remodel. Community Development issued a "Certificate of No Negative Effect" for changes to a non - historic window and front walkway. Staff did not approve a proposed alteration to a street - facing deck, which the applicant would now like to pursue through HPC.

APPLICANT: Charley Moss, represented by Greg Tankersley, McAlpine Tankersley Architecture and John Olson, John Olson Builders. PARCEL ID: 2735- 124 -26 -009. ADDRESS: 610 W. Hallam Street, Lot P and Lot Q, except the west 7.5 feet of Lot P, Block 22, City and Townsite of Aspen, Colorado. ZONING: R -6. MINOR DEVELOPMENT The procedure for a Minor Development Review 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. If the application is approved, the HPC shall issue a Certificate of Appropriateness and the Community Development Director shall issue a Development Order. The HPC decision shall be final unless appealed by the applicant or a landowner within three hundred (300) feet of the subject property in accordance with the procedures set forth in Chapter 26.316. Staff finding: When this miner's cottage was expanded in 1995, the HPC was interested in the possibility of improving the livability of the below grade space in order to reduce pressure to create a two story addition. The board approved an addition to the side of the historic resource, with a walkout basement. Staff believes this idea had some merit and helped to preserve the scale of the miner's cottage. However it changed the symmetry of the building, and in fact very little of the original house was preserved. HPC's more recent design guidelines and policies would discourage an addition so close to the front of the house, as well as the exposed basement level. The addition on the west side of the miner's cottage features a deck that can be accessed from the new or old parts of the house. The deck jogs in as it approaches the historic cottage. Staff believes this was intentionally done so that the new construction was not overly intrusive from the street, did not contact the miner's cottage too close to the front of the house, etc. The applicant would like to extend the deck so that it is rectangular, moving the point where the deck railing connects to the house forward approximately 7 feet, or about 2.5 feet back from the front facade. Staff finds the application in conflict with all of the relevant guidelines listed in Exhibit A. Bringing the deck forward intrudes onto the west facade of the miner's cottage and further 2 diminishes the goal of making the addition secondary to the historic building. It further emphasizes the point that the house is now twice as wide as it was originally. Staff recommends HPC deny the proposed deck expansion. 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 HPC deny Minor Development for a deck expansion at 610 W. Hallam Street. Exhibits: Resolution # , Series of 2011 A. Relevant HPC design guidelines B. Application C. Public comment 3 Exhibit A: Relevant Historic Preservation Design Guidelines for 610 W. Hallam Street, Minor Development 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 buildings 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. 10.8 Place an addition at the rear of a building or set it back from the front to minimize the visual impact on the historic structure and to allow the original proportions and character to remain prominent. ❑ Locating an addition at the front of a structure is inappropriate. ❑ Additional floor area may also be located under the building in a basement which will not alter the exterior mass of a building. ❑ Set back an addition from primary facades in order to allow the original proportions and character to remain prominent. A minimum setback of 10 feet on primary structures is recommended. 10.10 Design an addition to a historic structure such that it will not destroy or obscure historically important architectural features. ❑ For example, loss or alteration of architectural details, cornices and eavelines should be avoided. • 4 A RESOLUTION OF THE ASPEN HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION (HPC) DENYING MINOR DEVELOPMENT APPROVAL FOR 610 W.

MEMORANDUM TO: Aspen Historic Preservation Commission FROM: Amy Guthrie, Historic Preservation Officer RE: AspenModern Integrity Scoring DATE: February 9, 2011 SUMMARY: Since 2002, the preservation program has utilized a scoring system to assess the architectural integrity of any building being considered for landmark designation. The scoring system, while not entirely objective, uses the 7 aspects of integrity that have been defined by the National Park Service and assigns point values for the degree to which the property has or has not been altered. Any Victorian era property must achieve 50 out of 100 points to be an Aspen landmark. Any postwar property has been required to score 75 out of 100 points. The new AspenModern ordinance keeps the scoring process in place, but there is some desire to further distinguish the good, better and best examples of historic structures from the late 20 century in order to gauge the preservation incentives that should be offered during negotiations for voluntary designation. Attached, as an example, are the scoring sheets developed for Chalet style properties in 2002, and the improvements recommended by the Task Force. The Task Force version attempted to graphically illustrate the style and character defining features, and to be more clear and understandable to property owners or those outside of the historic preservation process. In order to sort out the relative importance of each property considered for designation, the Task Force suggested the following issues should be assigned points; authenticity, age, location, visibility, setting, and original materials. These topics are addressed to some degree in the attached draft, but need to be worked out a little further. REQUEST OF HPC: Staff is to provide updated scoring sheets for all of the AspenModern styles for Council adoption on February 28 HPC input is needed.
