Jay said Jim was honored with the distinguishing service award from the Navy. He served as a member of the Secretary of the Navy advisory board from 2010 to 2012. He gave exemplary service while serving as a member. Congratulations Jim! Nora said regarding the work session Derek Skalko worked on our lot split but I know nothing of this project and feel I have no conflict with 417/421 W. Hallam. Jane said she has a relationship with the family on 417/421 W. Hallam but it is not a financial relationship. Jane said she can be fair and impartial. Jay pointed out that one of the interior airlock historic doors on the Red Onion is damaged. 208 E. Main Street— Final Major Development, Public Hearing Debbie said the affidavit and posting and notice is in order and the applicant can proceed. Exhibit I Justin Barker, planner The property is a 3,000 square foot lot with two existing buildings on it. One of those is a Victorian miner's cottage and a shed along the back alley. This project received conceptual approval in June. A new residential unit was designed and the shed was moved from the north east corner to the north-west corner of the lot. For final we are dealing with landscaping, lighting and materials. There is not much landscaping. There is a ramp 1 ASPEN HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION MINUTES OF OCTOBER 23,-2013 going along the east side of the property line leading to the back where the trash area is. There will be removal of trees in the northwest corner of the lot in order to accommodate the movement of the shed to that area. The only lighting being added are a couple lights at the entrance to the residential unit as well as some step lighting along the path to the back of the property. Everything is staying on the Victorian and the landscaping in front. At conceptual it was recommended that the applicant look at the material for the stairwell because it might be too heavy. The applicant has provided a barn wood siding to contrast the cementicious siding for the rest of the property. Staff is in favor of the change as it gives it a lighter feeling and more of a horizontal feel. The upper floor plan does show a fire place and staff needs to know whether a chimney is needed or if it is a direct vent out the wall. We need to know if it is in compliance with the code. Staff is recommending approval of the project. Nora asked if the trees that are being removed are going to be replaced. Justin said some of the trees have been identified as diseased. Those that are not will be mitigated for. Sarah Upton, presented for Salon Tulio Sarah said the proposal is an addition behind the existing salon. It is a Victorian resource. The fireplace is intended to be a direct vent out the side of the wall. There are no major changes except breaking down the mass of the stair enclosure. We increased the amount of fenestration to reduce some of the heavy blocks and mixed up the cladding. The landscape lighting is not shown in the model but it will be unobtrusive. There is one down light under the flat roof of the main entry, a 4x4 and the bulb is enclosed in the fixture housing. There is also lighting mounted to the side of the house along the pathway and back to the alley. The question would be whether we can apply any of those to the historic resource. We are happy to work with staff on the lighting. We might be able to have something come out of the ground and not touch the historic resource. Chairperson, Jay Maytin opened the public hearing. There were no comments. The public hearing portion of the agenda item was closed. Amy mentioned that she and Sara Adams met with Margaret Pierce the immediate neighbor and her concern is about the actual construction. She had no objections to the project. 2 ASPEN HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION MINUTES OF OCTOBER 23 2013 Sarah said we will have contractor outreach to the neighbors so that they are aware of what is going on. Jay identified the issues: Fenestration, landscape, lighting Venting of the fire place which has been settled. Jay said he feels no lighting should be attached to the historic resource and it should be added to the motion. You could use the addition for lighting and if you need one or two more lights mitigate that with staff and monitor. Sara said she feels it might be more suitable to do landscape lighting and you would have more of a benefit lighting the path. John said he likes the lights and they make a pedestal that can stand alone. Nora said she voted against this at conceptual because she feels according to guideline 10.6 it totally changes the character and scale of this block. MOTION: Jay moved to approve resolution #33 for 208 E. Main Street and ad the condition that the east side walkway lighting will be approved by staff and monitor and no lighting will be attached to the historic resource. Motion second by John. Roll call vote: Sallie, yes; Jane, yes; John, yes; Nora, no; Jay, yes. Motion carried 4-1. John is the monitor. MOTION: Jay moved to adjourn; second by John. All in favor, motion carried. 417/421 W. Hallam Street—work session — no minutes. Debbie said a work session is not an action of the Historic Preservation Commission. It is only for the purpose of exchanging ideas and it is in no way binding what anyone says to the proposal. 3 ASPEN HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION MINUTES OF OCTOBER 23 2013 Derek Skalko said he understands fully the intentions of the HPC work session. r Kathleen J.
