DATE: July 8, 1992
SUMMARY: Staff recommends approval of the GMQS Exemption for the
expansion of St. Mary's church to add a vestibule and elevator.
STAFF COMMENTS: Pursuant to Section 8-104 A. 1.b, the Planning
Director shall exempt the expansion of a historic landmark which
increases it' s floor area but not net leasable square footage.
FINDINGS: The applicant proposes to construct a new vestibule and
elevator. The applicant has received final development approval
from the Historic Preservation Committee to demolish the existing
vestibule, which detracts from the architectural quality of the
original historic structure, and the addition of a new vestibule
and elevator tower on the west side of the church. In addition HPC
approved the reconstruction of an entry porch on Main Street.
The definition of net leasable is those areas within a commerical
or office building which are or which are designed to be leased to
a tenant and occupied for commercial or office purposes, exclusive
of any area dedicated to bathrooms, stairways, circulation
corridors, mechanical areas and storage areas used solely by
tenants on the site.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends GMQS exemption for the addition
of the elevator tower and vestibule on the west side of St. Mary' s
church as additional floor area but not new net leasable.
I hereby approve the above
Growth Management Quota

RE: St. Mary's Church
Proposed Development Description
Dear Sir:
The proposed development for St. Mary's Church in Aspen consists of removal of the existing 1960
vestibule entry and construction of a new entry porch, addition of an elevator tower and vestibule,
and a modification to the sidewalk adjacent to the church entrance at the corner of Main and Hunter
streets.
The remodel includes the demolition of the existing entry vestibule on Main Street and
reconstruction of an entry porch in order to reduce the negative impact which the appearance of the
previous entry vestibule had on the architectural integrity of the original structure.
The following information is provided in response to the Partial Demolition Standards:
1. The need for partial demolition is required in order to eliminate the existing entry
porch which detracts from the architectural quality of the original structure.
2. The existing adverse impacts on the historic importance of the structure will be
greatly reduced by this remodel which conforms to the shapes and materials present
in the original structure.
3. The new entry porch was designed to mitigate the adverse impact on the
architectural integrity of the church. The new entry roof matches the slope and
materials of the original building. The original church contains very simple brick
details. The predominant details include the rounded shapes of the circular rose
window over the entrance and the typical arch-top windows. These rounded shapes
we felt should be repeated throughout the detailing on the remodel. Round metal
snowguards, roof gutters and railing elements are proposed to carry this theme
through.
The elevator tower openings were restudied in light of the comments at the Conceptual Development
Hearing. The vertical louver elements have been deleted and a single small louver required to vent
the elevator shaft was placed on the west elevation in a circular form. The size of this louver is
greatly reduced. The louver will consist of a painted aluminum louver set in a aluminum frame
painted white to match the bell tower louvers. It repeats the shape of the rose window located
over the entry on the north elevation.
The elevator tower should not compete with the main entry bell-tower and is designed as a simple
element with no penetrations. The detailing on the elevator tower is very simple with vertical
brick column corners which project 1" beyond the face of the brick wall and are corbeled out at the
top to match the original church. The transitional trim from brick to roof soffit will have a round
wood trim piece to replicate similar trim of the main roof soffits.

The windows on the north and south elevations of the elevator vestibule were restudied to make
sure the windows did not look squeezed between the tower and the church. The vestibule width was
adjusted to allow more wall space on each side of these relocated windows and the width of the
Tower was reduced. This improved the proportions without increasing the east west dimension of
the addition. The arch-top glass on top of these windows are not relocated. The tower roof which
had been lowered to reduce the height impact of the tower left no room for an arch-top at the nave
level and the two windows opening profiles should match. The brick detailing at the window is a
simple brick return at the head with no corbeling, and a sandstone sill to match the existing
adjacent sills.
The flat porch roof to the south of the elevator vestibule will be snowmelted to interior drains. The
brick column and fascia are simply detailed. They will receive a soldier course of brick with a 1"
projection at the top of each. The column and fascia have been separated by a half-inch reveal and
the brick fascia will be capped with a metal flashing cap painted to match the brick.
The proposal also includes modification to the portion of the sidewalk on Main Street from the
church entrance to the comer of Main and Hunter streets. This modification includes extending the
curb and sidewalk area 6'-0" to the north. This extension will result in the loss of four parking
spaces and will improve pedestrian safety at the street corner. The shape of the curb angles have
been modified to respond to the requirements from the Qty Engineering Department.
Our proposed modifications address the concerns of the Historic Preservation Committee and the
City Engineers. We feel that this final development proposal will minimize any negative impact on
the original structure and will allow the church to better serve the future needs of its community.
