COMMISSIONER COMMENTS: Mr. Halferty asked Ms. Simon about Mr. Guy’s project on Main Street
and whether he is raising the whole building or not. Ms. Simon said he let go of the idea as it wasn’t
realistic. HPC didn’t ask him to do that anyway. Ms. Greenwood said it would have been a dog and
pony show.
Mr. Moyer asked if everything is ok with the Crystal Palace and Ms. Simon said they are basically tearing
it down and will send everyone a graphic. She said only the first floor of the west facing wall is historic.
The building we have been looking at was built in 1977, when they originally tore most of it down. Ms.
Simon said the Aspen Times put up an aggravating video which got everyone riled up. Ms. Greenwood
agreed and said if people want to know the reality, they should come to our meetings. She said she
thought about writing a letter to the editor, but never has. Ms. Simon said the building wasn’t
designated historic until 1981 after it was originally torn down. Mr. Blaich said he has told people to go
over there and look on the wall at the history as it explains everything. Ms. Greenwood said this type of
thing happens all the time.
Mr. Halferty asked about the Boomerang and if it’s a demolition by neglect thing. Ms. Simon said
they’ve inspected it several times and said it’s held up pretty well. She said they need to go over and
button it up and that Mark Hunt has bought it. Mr. Moyer said his original paint job is still holding up
well.
CONFLICTS: None.
PROJECT MONITORING: None.
STAFF COMMENTS: Ms. Simon said she will email everyone to make sure there is a quorum for the
November 20th meeting. Mr. Moyer, Mr. Kendrick, Ms. Greenwood and Mr. Halferty said they would be
in attendance. Mr. Blaich said he will be traveling most likely.
CERTIFICATES OF NO NEGATIVE EFFECT: None.

and said it was passed but amended.
