OLD BUSINESS: 611 West Main Street Conceptual Major Development, Commercial Design
Review. Sara Adams of BendonAdams will be representing the owner.
Ms. Adams stated that this presentation was continued from the May 27th HPC meeting. Ms.
Adams said that they are requesting approval for HPC conceptual review, temporary relocation,
affordable housing project, growth management, and proposing to restore the historic resource
back to residential use. Ms. Adams stated that they are requesting affordable housing credits. Ms.
Adams said that after the May 27th meeting her team took the suggestions from the neighbors
and commission seriously and produced a full restudy. She said that the massing and roof were
too big and that the roof forms needed to relate to the district while highlighting the landmark on
the property. Ms. Adams said another concern that was raised was the spacing between the
historic landmark and the new addition, and parking concerns from the neighbors. Ms. Adams
showed a rendering of the new project that had a reduction of units from 9 to 7 which reduced
the FTE’s from 21 to 14.75. Ms. Adams stated that all the units are now above grade and 6 of the
units are larger than required. She further explained that one unit is smaller by 30 square feet.

REGULAR MEETING HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION SPETEMBER 9 2020
Ms. Adams said that the distance between the building was 0 feet and now 7 feet 3 inches wall to
wall. She said that every unit now has one parking spot, and the project is 100% parked on site.
She further stated that the code only calls for 60% parking. Ms. Adams showed renderings of the
new floor plan starting with the basement that no longer has units and will be converted to a
crawl space and mechanical. Ms. Adams showed the first-floor units and explained the layout of
each unit and how it would fit into the landmark and new addition. She pointed out a specific
storage unit that is larger than the others and has been assigned to the smaller unit. Ms. Adams
showcased the shared bike and ski repair area that also offers extra storage for bikes and skies.
Ms. Adams stated that the trash area is fully confined and meets the setback requirements. Ms.
Adams pointed out that the open lawn in front of the landmark facing Main Street will be
protected. Ms. Adams moved on to the second floor and how they stack the units on top of one
another and explained the layout of each unit and how it would fit into the landmark and new
addition. Ms. Adams showed a rendering from Main Street and pointed out that the addition
cannot be seen from this view and that it fits with the sightline of the landmark. She further
explains on a side view the gable roof of the addition is visible along with an ADA ramp. She
showed a rendering that focused on the new 7-foot 3-inch space between the landmark and
addition that allows foot traffic to pass through. Ms. Adams stated that the gable roof forms on
the new addition were appropriate for the district while highlighting the landmark. She further
explained that the wood and materials chosen for the new addition was to compliment the
landmark. Ms. Adams showed the alley rendering of the new addition and pointed out the trash
area being setback 5 feet. Ms. Adams pointed out in a side view rendering that they are
requesting two non-historic variations, a rear yard setback of zero feet and the distance between
the landmark and addition of 7 feet and 3 inches. Ms. Adams stated that they also have requested
a historic variation for the front porch on the landmark to sit in the setback. She explained that
they will not move the porch that this is a technicality they must meet. Ms. Adams stated the
composition of the units will be five 2 bedrooms and two 1 bedrooms and all the units will be
category 4. Ms. Adams stated that they appreciated the neighbor’s participation in the last
meeting and for their comments that were echoed by city staff and HPC. She said the majority of
the comments were about mass and size, parking, traffic, additional density, and rear setback.
Ms. Adams stated that she sent an updated packet for this project to the surrounding neighbors,
and only one resident reached back out. In closing Ms. Adams thanked HPC and they look
forward to moving this project forward.
Mr. Moyer asked if the wood on the new addition was cedar.
Ms. Adams stated that they have not landed on a wood species yet, however, at the final review
there will be details.
Ms. Greenwood asked if the previous setback for the alley was zero.
Ms. Adams stated that it was two feet.
STAFF COMMENTS: Mr. Rayes stated that he will be reviewing the growth management
plan, special review, and transportation & parking management. Mr. Rayes said his colleague
Ms. Yoon will be reviewing the commercial design review, dimensional variations, and
relocations. Mr. Rayes reviewed the history of this lot and the proposed project. Mr. Rayes
outlined what each floor would look like with the units and explained how the units would fit
into the landmark and new addition. Mr. Rayes stated that within the historic resource there are
three units. He explained that two of the units are above the Aspen Pitkin County Housing
Authority’s (APCHA) minimum net livable area and one of the units is slightly bellow. He stated
5
REGULAR MEETING HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION SPETEMBER 9 2020
that the smaller unit must have a special review and approval to be slightly under the minimum.
Mr. Rayes stated that the criteria for having a unit under the minimum threshold can be found in
the HPC packet. Mr. Rayes stated that each unit will have 18 square feet of external storage and
the slightly smaller unit will have 38 square feet of external storage. He said that this property
will offer plenty of outside space for communal use while offering private patios and porches.
Another amenity that will be offered Mr. Rayes said will be a washer and dryer with full closets.
Mr. Rayes stated that staff finds this project meets all the criteria for special review and
recommends the full approval of the 14.75 FTE’s. Mr. Rayes reminded HPC that within the
mixed-use zone, 60% of parking must be onsite. He explained that the applicant will be offering
seven parking spots for seven units going above and beyond with 100% onsite parking. Mr.
Rayes stated that staff finds that this project meets the transportation and parking needs.
Ms. Yoon showed a Sanborn map of the historic lot that the applicant was required to maintain.
Ms. You stated that the new addition has no connector element to the historic resource, unlike
the previous plan that had an element that hungover the resource. Ms. Yoon showed the design
guidelines that the staff used concerning the variation findings. She said that staff supports the
setback variations to maintain the 7ft 3inch separation. Ms. Yoon discussed guideline 10.6, that
the detached addition is a product of its own time. Ms. Yoon explained in the redesign the
applicant has come back with a gable roof that relates to the historic district and that it does not
mimic the historic resource’s gambrel roof form. Ms. Yoon stated that staff is in support of the
use of wood as a material on the new addition rather than metal. She explained that wood relates
to the resource more so than metal. Ms. Yoon stated that the redesign hones in on the
compatibility.
Mr. Rayes stated that staff recommends that HPC approve conceptual major development,
commercial design review, setback variations, relocation growth management, special review,
Transportation and parking management, and certificates of affordable housing credits. Mr.
Rayes pointed out on the HPC resolution section 2: Growth Management, Certificate of
Affordable Housing Credits, and Special Review number 2 to strike that language and proposed
the revision stating the applicant shall designate the category of each unit, and shall provide
APCHA with the required documentation prior to Certificate of Occupancy.
Ms. Greenwood asked if the revised resolution was ready for HPC.
Mr. Reyes stated that it is not in the packet however can be provided to HPC first thing.
Ms. Greenwood stated that this is a great project, and it is relatable.
PUBLIC COMMENT: None.
Ms. Greenwood asked Mr. Reyes and Ms. Yoon if there were any letters sent in.
Mr. Reyes stated that he did not receive any public comments.
Ms. Greenwood stated that is a great sign and kudos should be given to the applicant and team
for working with the neighborhood.
COMMISSIONER COMMENTS: Ms. Greenwood stated that the project is very clear and
what it is about. She further stated that this is an excellent project. Ms. Greenwood said that this
is a great example of when the commission wants the applicant to go back for a restudy and the
product comes back better than ever. Ms. Greenwood stated that this project is great for the
neighborhood and thanked the applicant. She said the opportunity for an individual to live in a
historic building is a special experience.

REGULAR MEETING HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION SPETEMBER 9 2020
Mr. Moyer stated he agrees with staff. Mr. Moyer warned that depending on what the exterior
platting is used can be very expensive due to maintenance. He further stated that APCHA should
make the homeowners have a maintenance budget. Mr. Moyer said that he has been contacted by
many HOAs about this and that there can be hidden costs.
due to technical difficulties and poor connection, Mr. Halferty’s statement was inaudible.
Mr. Moyer moved to approve Resolution #17-2020. Ms. Greenwood seconded.
ROLL CALL: Mr. Halferty, Yes; Mr. Moyer, Yes; Ms. Greenwood, Yes. All in favor, Motion
carried 3-0.
OLD BUSINESS: 616 W. Main S Change in Use & Special Review. Chris Bendon of
BendonAdams representing owner, Jordan Nemirow owner of the property.
Mr. Bendon stated that the property has a historic resource located on it and at one time was a
residential home then converted to a commercial frame shop in 2004, then changed back to a
home without proper steps. Mr. Bendon stated that this application is to convert the historic
resource back to a residential dwelling. Mr. Bendon showed that the resource is one of two
structures on this property. He showed visuals of the property showing the newer unit that sits in
the rear of the property. He reminded HPC that the application only pertains to the historic
resource. Mr. Bendon stated that the change of use will fit in perfectly within the mixed zone
district. Mr. Bendon said that there was a parking waiver provided to this property when the
historic unit was used for commercial use. Mr. Bendon stated that they are presented with the
requirement to provide housing mitigation which is specified in the code. He said that the current
use is commercial and through the City’s calculations would generate 3.28 FTE and should be
exempt from and mitigation. He said that they are reducing their impacts on the neighborhood.
Mr. Bendon stated that the second request was regarding parking. He explained that part of the
change in use, the code requires two parking spots for the historic unit. Mr. Bendon pointed out
that there is a parking pad in the back of the lot that holds an encroachment permit. Mr. Bendon
stated that HPC can provide parking waivers if parking results in difficulty and undesirable result
or if offsite facilities adequately serve the needs of the development and finally if a waiver would
enhance or mitigate an adverse impact to the historic resource or property. He said there will be
negative impacts on the property that would come about proving parking on site. Mr. Bendon
showed HPC the standards that are in the guidelines that preserve the system and character of
historic streets, alleys, and ditches and how that relates to this project. Mr. Bendon told HPC that
one of the standards that will be under review is if the transportation needs are being met. He
reiterated that moving from a commercial space to a residential home relieves the pressure of
transpiration on the neighborhood. Mr. Bendon stated that in the back of the historic recourse
one could pack two cars in tandem. He explained the non-historic fence would need to be moved
and this scenario is undesirable. Mr. Bendon pointed out that one of The Secretary of the Interior
standards talks about avoid adding parking to an open area that detracts from a historic resource.
Mr. Bendon stated that they can make the parking work if mandated and that the applicant does
not want to pay the $76,000 for offsite parking. He further explained that the neighborhood
offers street parking and that the historic resource has been functioning as a residential dwelling
for the past 10 years and that the neighborhood is comfortable with street parking. Mr. Bendon
stated that HPC has granted a parking waiver for this property in the past, and they are asking for
a regrant.

REGULAR MEETING HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION SPETEMBER 9 2020
Mr. Nemirow stated that he is the property owner and that this matter is extremely important to
him and his family. Mr. Nemirow said that he and his wife live and work in Aspen year-round
while raising their two children. He said they consider themselves apart of the ever-dwindling
community of the West End. Mr. Nemirow stated that he and his family take great pride in being
a part of the victorian homeowner community in this community. Mr. Nemirow stated that he
would like to tie up loose ends from the previous owner. Mr. Nemirow said that he is not a
developer nor will any development happen with the change in use and parking request. Mr.
Nemirow explained the history of the property and stated that no alterations would happen to
either unit in the future and is seeking HPC approval to convert the historic resource back to a
residential dwelling. Mr. Nemirow stated that his second request is the approval of a parking
waiver. He said that the property could support parking if HPC feels the need. Mr. Nemirow
stated that he is not in a position to write a check for offsite parking. Mr. Nemirow said that
requiring 4 parking spots on this property is unnecessary. Mr. Nemirow stated that he has been
shifting away from his dependence on his car and that this property lends itself to that. He
explained that the property is walkable to town and sits on all transpiration lines. He said with
more parking, cars will follow, and with limited parking, one will use alternative means to get to
town. Mr. Nemirow stated that he purchased the historic resource in 2014 with no parking
available on site. He further explained that he has not needed it. Mr. Nemirow stated that in 2004
a special review was conducted and a parking wavier was granted with support from City staff.
He said the parking allotted to the non-historic unit fulfills the needs and no additional parking is
needed. Mr. Nemirow outlined that HPC may waive cash in lieu or offsite parking requirements.
Mr. Nemirow stated that if parking onsite is forced, that this will take the one outside space that
both units enjoy and share. Mr. Nemirow reiterated his points of unnecessary parking on site.
Mr. Nemirow stated that adding parking to the property would displace snow removal and
garbage. Mr. Nemirow said that staffs concerns of increased density will call for more parking.
He explained that there is no increase in density since he and his family have lived there for
years. Mr. Nemirow reiterated and reviewed the design guideline 1.26. Mr. Nemirow reminded
HPC that they hold the power to waive parking guidelines for this property.
Mr. Moyer asked if parking was added and the fence had to be moved, where would the trash
go.
Mr. Bendon stated that the trash would be moved closer to the historic unit and off the alley.
STAFF COMMENTS: Mr. Rayes stated that the applicant is here to request a change in use
and special review for parking. Mr. Rayes said that the two units that sit on the property, unit B
is located in the back and currently approved to be a signal family dwelling and unit A the
historic resource is located at the front of the property is currently approved as commercial use.
He pointed out that neither unit has parking assonated with it on the property. Mr. Rayes went
through the history of the historic property. Mr. Rayes stated that to bring the historic resource to
a legal standing signal family home there are a few approvals that will need to happen. He
explained the first would be dimensional variance which was granted by the Board of
Adjustments resolution #03-2020. He further explained the next approval would be the granting
of a change of use followed by the mitigation of parking. Mr. Rayes stated through staff's review
it became clear that the second unit would need to be brought up to code as well in reference to
parking. Mr. Rayes outlined the approvals needed for unit B to be brought up to code. He stated
that a change in usage which was done through APCHA and second a special review for parking.
Mr. Rayes stated that this process started with the historic unit for a change of use but parking on
8
REGULAR MEETING HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION SPETEMBER 9 2020
a signal parcel as intricately linked as this one, staff is having a thought time separating the
issues. He further stated that if HPC does not address parking for both congruently that this could
lead to complications down the road. Mr. Rayes sited the parking code stating that a unit needs a
parking spot per bedroom or two parking spots per dwelling. He said that there are two dwellings
on the parcel. Mr. Rayes stated that the historic unit will need and can fit two park spaces with
adjustments to the fence. He said that unit B does not have room for two parking spots on-site,
and cash in lieu would be sufficient to bring unit B to code. Mr. Rayes reviewed his main points
that four parking spots are needed, two located behind the historic resource, and cash in lieu for
unit B‘s parking. Mr. Rayes stated that the transportation and mobility of the residence of the
project have not been met. Mr. Rayes stated that the property has double the density than any
other property in the neighborhood and that it is reasonable to say that there will be more traffic.
He moved on to the next criterion stating that an on-site mitigation solution meeting the
requirements and guidelines is practically difficult or results in an undesirable devilment
scenario. Mr. Rayes said that staff realizes that unit B physically can not provide parking in this
case, cash in lieu is acceptable. Mr. Rayes said that the surrounding neighborhood can offer
parking for unit B however unit A can house two parking spots. Mr. Rayes stated that the
parking for unit A complies with the land-use code. Mr. Rayes summarized staff position of four
parking units provide, two for unit A and cash in lieu of unit B’s parking. He said that staff is
recommending providing .14 FTEs for the mitigation for change of use. Mr. Rayes stated staff
approves the change of use. Mr. Rayes stated that staff recommends HPC adopt the attached
resolution to approve a change in use to convert unit A from a commercial to residential use and
recommends that the HPC deny the special review request for a parking exemption and require
two on-site parking spaces to mitigate the parking associated with unit A. cash in lieu for two
parking units should be provided to meet the mitigation required for unit B.
Ms. Greenwood asked what is the physical description of a parking space. She further asked
what size should it be, if pavers were ok. Ms. Greenwood stated as an architect the terms being
used are pretty loose goosy.
Mr. Rayes stated that he is uncertain about the surface materials. He said he does know that there
are requirements on dimensions that are 8.5 feet wide by 18 feet long.
PUBLIC COMMENT: None.
COMMISSIONER COMMENTS: Ms. Greenwood stated that HPC is a volunteer board and
that allows the board to bring commonsense to a situation where the land-use regulations are
inconsistent. Ms. Greenwood pointed out that HPC just approved a one parking spot per two-
bedroom unit across the street. She said that she has a problem with a little project like this being
forced to have four parking spots. Ms. Greenwood stated that there is an easy solution and that is
listening to the homeowner they know the property and home patterns on the property. Ms.
Greenwood stated that she does not agree with staff’s analysis that the City does not offer
enough transportation options. Ms. Greenwood said that this is not a quick fix. She further
explained that once you introduce parking into a neighborhood one will deal with concrete,
drainage, engineering, dry wells, and so much more. Ms. Greenwood stated the applicant can
move the fence over and claim the new space as parking. Ms. Greenwood reiterated that she
finds it wrong for the City to require four parking spaces when they are completely ok with the
employee units across the street only requiring one per unit. She stated that it is not fair that past
9
REGULAR MEETING HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION SPETEMBER 9 2020
transgressions form APCHA and the City approval process and then years later ask for $7,600
for their mistake. Ms. Greenwood stated that she is not in favor of this resolution as it stands.
Mr. Halferty stated that Ms. Greenwood’s comments hit the nail on the head. Mr. Halferty said
that he is not in support of the staff’s resolution. He further said that the applicant made a strong
and convincing case on transportation solutions. Mr. Halferty stated the land-use code is dated
and should be revised. Mr. Halferty stated the change in the use of the historic resource is nice
and should be approved.
Ms. Greenwood stated that the neighbors must be supportive of the change in use since there is
no public input.
Mr. Moyer stated that he was on HPC when unit B was approved as an ADU. He said that he
does not agree with staff. Mr. Moyer said that he approves the change in use and HPC should
grant the variance in parking. Mr. Moyer stated that it is unconscionable to force someone to pay
$76,000 for two parking spaces.
Ms. Greenwood said $7,600.
Mr. Bendon stated it was $76,000
Ms. Greenwood stated that staff must revisit this fee.
Ms. Greenwood stated that the board was in agreement of not in favor of 1 and 2 under section 1
in the resolution.
Mr. Moyer stated yes.
Mr. Halferty stated yes.
Mr. Halferty moved to approve Resolution #18-2020. Mr. Moyer seconded.
ROLL CALL: Mr. Halferty, Yes; Mr. Moyer, Yes; Ms. Greenwood, Yes. All in favor, Motion
carried 3-0.
NEW BUSINESS: 202 E. Main Street - Extension of Conceptual Approval.
Ms. Yoon stated that this is a pretty straight forward issue. Ms. Yoon gave a brief history of this
project. She said that this landmark came before HPC twice for a conceptual hearing and
received approval. Ms. Yoon stated that the project was passed by Resolution #018-2019 and
was not called up by the council. Ms. Yoon reminded HPC that a development has one year from
the date of conceptual review to submit a final review application. Ms. Yoon stated that within
the code there is a one time use of a six-month extension upon HPC’s approval.
COMMISSIONER COMMENTS: Ms. Greenwood stated she has no problem extending.
Mr. Moyer stated he is ok with the extension.
Mr. Halferty stated he approves of this.
Mr. Moyer moved to approve Resolution #19-2020. Mr. Halferty seconded.
ROLL CALL: Mr. Halferty, Yes; Mr. Moyer, Yes; Ms. Greenwood, Yes. All in favor, Motion
carried 3-0.
ADJOURN: All in favor, Motion carried 3-0.

TO: Aspen Historic Preservation Commission
FROM: Amy Simon, Interim Planning Director/Historic Preservation Officer
MEETING DATE: September 23, 2020
RE: 109 N. Second Street (formerly known as 300 W. Main Street)
BACKGROUND: 109 N. Second is a landmarked property containing a log cabin built in 1944. An HPC
approved project on the property is underway and an opportunity to expose a historic window covered
by a recently removed addition has been identified.
The window in question is somewhat smaller than adjacent historic windows. This is a historic condition
as demonstrated by physical and photographic evidence. The owner would like to install a larger window
in this location, which is being referred to HPC after not being approved by staff and project monitor,
Roger Moyer.
Attached are images describing the condition and the applicant’s proposal.

MEETING DATE: September 23, 2020
RE: 541 Race Alley
BACKGROUND: 541 Race Alley is a landmarked property containing two cabins built in 1964. An HPC
approved project on the property is nearing completion but a change to the plan for venting fireplaces
is being referred to HPC, after not being approved by staff and monitor, Jeff Halferty.
Attached are images showing the
approved plan to install exposed
flue pipes on the rear of the cabins,
along with alternatives, one of
which has been constructed
without prior review. The architect
has indicated that the approved
design cannot be constructed due
to the specifications of the selected
fireplaces and will describe the
proposals to HPC. Staff and
monitor have felt that simple flues
are the most appropriate and in
keeping with the modest character
of these cabins, seen from the back
in the pre-construction photo at right.

BACKGROUND:
820 East Cooper is a 3,000 sf lot in the RMF
zone district. The historic resource is a one-
story miner’s cabin with a loft. In 1996 HPC
approved a new addition to the historic
structure that was never built.
In 2012, HPC granted the demolition of a non-
historic shed structure along the alley. The
property was recently acquired by the current
applicant who has been working with staff to
remove the non-historic wrap around deck that
covered the base of the historic resource,
restore the historic windows, and remove the
blue metal roof and replace it with the asphalt
shingle roof.
REQUEST OF HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION (HPC):
The Applicant is requesting the following approval:
• Minor Development (Section 26.415.070.C) o add a small addition to the rear, restore
historic features and make landscaping changes.
The Historic Preservation Commission (HPC) is the final review authority. The scope of this
application is not subject to Notice of Call-Up at City Council.
PROJECT SUMMARY:
The applicant proposes to enlarge an existing non-historic addition to the rear of the historic
structure by adding approximately 46 sf of floor area. As part of the scope of work, the altered
front door of the historic resource will be restored to historic proportions and landscaping changes
including pervious brick pavers and tree removal are proposed. No historic preservation benefits
or incentives are requested for this proposal.
STAFF COMMENTS:
The proposed addition to the rear of the property is an enlargement of a non-historic addition that
improves the usability of this space without compromising the historic fabric and having minimal
visual impact. The proposed addition utilizes a pitched roof form the relates to the historic resource
and fenestration with dimensions that keep in character with the historic resource. The proposed
material is asphalt shingles, matching what is in place on the historic resource, and a vertical
application of Trespa siding which deviates from the historic resource. Staff finds that all relevant
Design Guidelines in Chapter 10 are met. Staff supports the proposed addition and restoration
plan of the historic front door opening using historic photographs and the existing framing as a
reference. (See Figure 2.)

Staff recommends HPC further discuss elements of
the proposed landscape plan in detail to provide
more direction for the applicant:
Landscaping Changes: Following the removal of the
wooden deck that wrapped around the entire
footprint of the building, the applicant proposes to
stabilize the surrounding grade with various
landscaping improvements including the use of
permeable brick pavers, sod, and perennial beds.
The permeable brick pavers will be used to create a
perpendicular walkway from the street to the front
door of the historic resource which meets Design
Guideline 1.6; however, staff finds the pavers
proposed along the foundation of the front façade to
be out of character and does not meet Design Guideline 1.12. Staff recommends the pavers be
limited to the walkway and entry leading up to the front door and either sod or plantings along the
front façade. Any proposed plantings must not cover or screen the historic resource from view.
No changes are proposed to the existing fence with this proposal.
The applicant proposes to restore sod in front of the historic resource and maintain the sod located
towards the rear of the property. The gravel areas identified along the rear of the property appears
to be associated with the two on-site parking spaces required for the property that must remain.
The applicant is currently working with the Parks Department on the removal of the tree located
in the front yard of the property. Staff recommends the applicant continue discussion with all
relevant City Departments regarding tree impact/mitigation and stormwater needs for the site.
REFERRAL COMMENTS:
The application was referred out to other City Departments who have requirements that will
significantly affect the permit review. Please see Exhibit B for full comments.
Engineering Department:
1. Applicant needs to show the disturbance area is under 1,000 sf or provide a full drainage
plan and report from a registered engineer. The use of pervious pavers will meet the
stormwater requirements.
Parks Department:
1. Amenable to the removal of the conifer in the front yard and planting of a maple tree out in
the city ROW.

Staff Findings
NOTE: Staff responses begin on page 7 of this exhibit, following the list of
applicable guidelines.
26.415.070.C Minor Development
1. The review and decision on the issuance of a certificate of appropriateness for minor
development shall begin with a determination by the Community Development
Director that the proposed project constitutes a minor development. Minor
development work includes:
a) Expansion or erection of a structure wherein the increase of the floor area of the
structure is two hundred and fifty (250) square feet or less or
b) Alterations to a building façade, windows, doors, roof planes or material, exterior
wall materials, dormer porch, exterior staircase, balcony or ornamental trim when
three (3) or fewer elements are affected and the work does not qualify for a certificate
of no negative effect or
c) Erection or installation of a combination or multiples of awning, canopies,
mechanical equipment, fencing, signs, accessory features and other attachments to
designated properties such that the cumulative impact does not allow for the
issuance of a certificate of no negative effect or
d) Alterations that are made to non-historic portions of a designated historic property
that do not qualify for a certificate of no negative effect or
e) The erection of street furniture, signs, public art and other visible improvements
within designated historic districts of a magnitude or in numbers such that the
cumulative impact does not allow for the issuance of a certificate of no negative
effect. The Community Development Director may determine that an application for
work on a designated historic property involving multiple categories of minor
development may result in the cumulative impact such that it is considered a major
development. In such cases, the applicant shall apply for a major development
review in accordance with Subsection 26.415.07.D.

Page 3 of 7
• Use paving materials that are similar to those used historically for the building style and install
them in the manner that they would have been used historically. For example on an Aspen
Victorian landmark set flagstone pavers in sand, rather than in concrete. Light grey concrete, brick
or red sandstone are appropriate private walkway materials for most landmarks.
• The width of a new entry sidewalk should generally be three feet or less for residential properties.
A wider sidewalk may be appropriate for an AspenModern property.
1.7 Provide positive open space within a project site.
• Ensure that open space on site is meaningful and consolidated into a few large spaces rather than
many small unusable areas.
• Open space should be designed to support and complement the historic building.
1.8 Consider stormwater quality needs early in the design process.
• When included in the initial planning for a project, stormwater quality facilities can be better
integrated into the proposal. All landscape plans presented for HPC review must include at least
a preliminary representation of the stormwater design. A more detailed design must be reviewed
and approved by Planning and Engineering prior to building permit submittal.
• Site designs and stormwater management should provide positive drainage away from the historic
landmark, preserve the use of natural drainage and treatment systems of the site, reduce the
generation of additional stormwater runoff, and increase infiltration into the ground. Stormwater
facilities and conveyances located in front of a landmark should have minimal visual impact when
viewed from the public right of way.
• Refer to City Engineering for additional guidance and requirements.
1.12 Provide an appropriate context for historic structures. See diagram.
• Simplicity and restraint are required. Do not overplant a site, or install a landscape which is
overtextured or overly complex in relationship to the historic resource, particularly in Zone A. In
Zone A, new planting shall be species that were used historically or species of similar attributes.
• In areas immediately adjacent to the landmark, Zone A and Zone B, plants up 42” in height, sod,
and low shrubs are often appropriate.
• Contemporary planting, walls and other features are not appropriate in Zone A. A more
contemporary landscape may surround new development or be located in the rear of the property,
in Zone C.
• Do not cover areas which were historically unpaved with hard surfaces, except for a limited patio
where appropriate.
• Where residential structures are being adapted to commercial use, proposals to alter the
landscape will be considered on a case-by-case basis. The residential nature of the building must
be honored.
• In the case of a historic landmark lot split, careful consideration should be given so as not to over
plant either property, or remove all evidence of the landscape characteristics from before the
property was divided.
• Contemporary landscapes that highlight an AspenModern architectural style are encouraged.
33
Page 4 of 7
1.13 Additions of plant material to the landscape that could interfere with or block views
of historic structures are inappropriate.
• Low plantings and ground covers are preferred.
• Do not place trees, shrubs, or hedgerows in locations that will obscure, damage, or block
significant architectural features or views to the building. Hedgerows are not allowed as fences.
• Consider mature canopy size when planting new trees adjacent to historic resources. Planting
trees too close to a landmark may result in building deteriorate or blocked views and is
inappropriate.
• Climbing vines can damage historic structures and are not allowed.
4.2 Maintain the original size of a door and its opening.
• Altering its size and shape is inappropriate. It should not be widened or raised in height.
4.4 When replacing a door or screen door, use a design that has an appearance similar
to the original door or a door associated with the style of the building.
• A replica of the original, if evidence exists, is the preferred replacement.
• A historic door or screen door from a similar building also may be considered.
34
Page 5 of 7
• Simple paneled doors were typical for Aspen Victorian properties.
• Very ornate doors, including stained or leaded glass, are discouraged, unless photographic
evidence can support their use.
9.5 A new foundation shall appear similar in design and materials to the historic
foundation.
• On modest structures, a simple foundation is appropriate. Constructing a stone foundation on a
miner’s cottage where there is no evidence that one existed historically is out of character and is
not allowed.
• Exposed concrete or painted metal flashing are generally appropriate.
• Where a stone or brick foundation existed historically, it must be replicated, ideally using stone
salvaged from the original foundation as a veneer. The replacement must be similar in the cut of
the stone and design of the mortar joints.
• New AspenModern foundations shall be handled on a case by case basis to ensure preservation
of the design intent.
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 must be compatible with the historic character of the primary building.
• An addition must be subordinate, deferential, modest, and secondary in comparison to the
architectural character of the primary building.
• An addition that imitates the primary building’s historic style is not allowed. For example, a new
faux Victorian detailed addition is inappropriate on an Aspen Victorian home.
• An addition that covers historically significant features is inappropriate.
• Proposals on corner lots require particular attention to creating compatibility.
10.4 The historic resource is to be the focus of the property, the entry point, and the
predominant structure as viewed from the street.
• The historic resource must be visually dominant on the site and must be distinguishable against
the addition.
• The total above grade floor area of an addition may be no more than 100% of the above grade
floor area of the original historic resource. All other above grade development must be completely
detached. HPC may consider exceptions to this policy if two or more of the following are met:
o The proposed addition is all one story
o The footprint of the new addition is closely related to the footprint of the historic resource and
the proposed design is particularly sensitive to the scale and proportions of the historic resource
o The project involves the demolition and replacement of an older addition that is considered to
have been particularly detrimental to the historic resource
o The interior of the resource is fully utilized, containing the same number of usable floors as
existed historically
o The project is on a large lot, allowing the addition to have a significant setback from the street
35
Page 6 of 7
o There are no variance requests in the application other than those related to historic conditions
that aren’t being changed
o The project is proposed as part of a voluntary AspenModern designation, or
o The property is affected by non-preservation related site specific constraints such as trees that
must be preserved, Environmentally Sensitive Areas review, etc.
10.6 Design a new addition to be recognized as a product of its own time.
• An addition shall be distinguishable from the historic building and still be visually compatible with
historic features.
• A change in setbacks of the addition from the historic building, a subtle change in material, or a
modern interpretation of a historic style are all techniques that may be considered to help define
a change from historic construction to new construction.
• Do not reference historic styles that have no basis in Aspen.
• Consider these three aspects of an addition; form, materials, and fenestration. An addition must
relate strongly to the historic resource in at least two of these elements. Departing from the historic
resource in one of these categories allows for creativity and a contemporary design response.
• Note that on a corner lot, departing from the form of the historic resource may not be allowed.
• There is a spectrum of appropriate solutions to distinguishing new from old portions of a
development. Some resources of particularly high significance or integrity may not be the right
instance for a contrasting addition.
10.8 Design an addition to be compatible in size and scale with the main building.
• An addition that is lower than, or similar to the height of the primary building, is preferred.
10.10 Place an addition at the rear of a primary building or set it back substantially 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 primary building is inappropriate.
• Additions to the side of a primary building are handled on a case-by-case basis and are approved
based on site specific constraints that restrict rear additions.
• Additional floor area may also be located under the building in a basement which will not alter the
exterior mass of a building.
10.11 Roof forms shall be compatible with the historic building.
• A simple roof form that does not compete with the historic building is appropriate.
• On Aspen Victorian properties, a flat roof may only be used on an addition to a gable roofed
structure if the addition is entirely one story in height, or if the flat roofed areas are limited, but the
addition is primarily a pitched roof.
36
Page 7 of 7
10.12 Design an addition to a historic structure that does not destroy or obscure
historically important architectural features.
• Loss or alteration of architectural details, cornices, and eavelines must be avoided.
Staff Finding: The applicable sections of the design guidelines are as follows: site planning, doors,
foundations, and new additions.
Design Guidelines 1.8 addresses stormwater mitigation. Engineering has provided comments that the
amount of site disturbance may trigger stormwater requirements for the site with the direction that pervious
pavers may be used to address these concerns. The applicant will need to continue working with all
relevant City Departments, specifically Engineering and Parks to ensure all requirements are met for this
site. Staff recommends the applicant provide visuals of the proposed pavers for review and approval by
staff and monitor prior to its installation.
Design Guidelines 1.12 focuses on the site context of historic structures. Areas that were not historically
covered with hard surfaces should maintain the historic condition of sod or plantings. The proposed brick
pavers along the foundation of the historic home would not be appropriate. Staff recommends this area be
restored to sod or plantings that do not cover the historic resource. In addition, the site must provide for
two on-site parking spaces as required by the land use code.
Design Guidelines 4.2 & 4.4 concerns the restoration of historic doors and openings. Currently, the
dimensions of the historic front door and transom do not match historic configurations. The restoration of
this opening may require additional siding that must be woven in with the historic siding. Staff supports the
restoration of this important feature and recommends the cut sheets for the new door and transom be
provided for staff and monitor review and approval.
Design Guidelines 9.5 focuses on the details for a new foundation. The historic house is on a slab on
grade foundation with a small subgrade level to the rear that houses mechanical equipment. A new
foundation is proposed for the enlarged addition and exposed concrete or painted mental flashing is
considered appropriate.
In summary, staff recommends approval with conditions listed in the memo and draft resolution.

1. The project appears to be right at the 1,000 sf threshold for a major Engineering plan and
report. At building permit the applicant will need to either show the disturbance area is under
1,000 sf or provide a full drainage plan and report from a registered engineer. The use of
pervious pavers will meet the stormwater requirements if a major engineering review is
required.

The proposal adds approximately 46 s.f. to an existing non-historic room. There will be new Trespa siding,
new door and 2 windows, as well as a new roof. The new roof will have a material to match the historic
resource. The front door will return to its historic condition and be made smaller by approximately 4".
The existing historic residence has an existing non-historic addition which contains a mudroom. The existing
historic resource is to remain and has an exterior wood deck.

Re: 820 East Cooper Ave.
Pre-Application Summary
Dear Sarah:
On behalf of CWG Holdings, LLC (Applicant), Zone 4 Architects would like to present an
application to consider a Minor Development Review for the purposes of remodeling an existing
home located at 820 East Cooper Avenue. The property is currently a landmarked historic site.
In this application, the Applicant is proposing to replace the existing front door and enlarge the
existing non-historic addition towards the rear of the property. There will be a new light fixture on
the front façade of the home in accordance with HPC Design Guidelines that will also meet COA
Dark sky requirements.
Additionally, there are proposed landscape changes that do not affect the architecture of the
existing structure. The existing deck is removed and the existing concrete walk in the rear yard is
proposed to be removed. The applicant has coordinated their design efforts with the City
Forester, and proposes to remove tree #14 on the survey to accomplish two HPC design
guidelines. First, the walkway will be realigned to its original historic perpendicular alignment off
the public sidewalk to the front door. Secondly, a stately tree will be added in the ROW to replace
the removal of the existing tree. The applicant intends to plant either a Sienna Glen or Marmo
Freeman Maple as recommended by the Aspen Street Tree List. The historical resource will be
highlighted by this vegetation change, and will add to the historic fabric of its neighborhood.
As seen in the Landscape Plan diagram:
• the east side yard will have small diameter decorative river cobble;
• the north (rear) walkway is shifting its alignment and will be porous brick pavers;
• porous brick pavers will be used as hardscape in the rear yard, wrap around the west
side yard to connect to the front (south) entry;
• existing parking gravel is to remain;
• grass for planting, trees, shrubs, and flowers will infill the new hardscape zones

▪ 26.575.020: Calculations and Measurements
(c)Measuring Net Lot Area. A property's development rights are derived from Net Lot Area. This is a
number that accounts for the presence of steep slopes, easements, areas under water, and similar
features of a property. The method for calculating a parcel's Net Lot Area is as follows:
(d)Measuring Floor Area. In measuring floor areas for floor area ratio and allowable floor area, the
following applies:
(1)General. Floor area shall be attributed to the lot or parcel upon which it is developed. In
measuring a building for the purposes of calculati ng floor area ratio and allowable floor area,
there shall be included all areas within the surrounding exterior walls of the building. When
measuring from the exterior walls, the measurement shall be taken from the exterior face of
framing, exterior face of structural block, exterior face of straw bale, or similar exterior surface of
the nominal structure excluding sheathing, vapor barrier, weatherproofing membrane, exterior -
mounted insulation systems, and excluding all exterior veneer and surface treatment s such as
stone, stucco, bricks, shingles, clapboards or other similar exterior veneer treatments.
▪ The area calculations are measured from outside face of exterior framing.
(2)Vertical circulation. When calculating vertical circulation, the circulation element shall be
counted as follows:
a.For stairs and elevators, the area of the feature shall be projected down and counted on the
lower of the two (2) levels connected by the element and not counted as Floor Area on the top -
most interior floor served by the element.
▪ The area calculations include the stairs on the lower-most floor levels, and exempt that area
from the upper-most floor.
▪ Subsections b-c are not applicable. Text omitted for clarity.
(3)Attic Space and Crawl Space. Unfinished and uninhabitable space between the ceiling joists
and roof rafters of a structure or between the ground and floor framing which is accessible only
as a matter of necessity is exempt from the calculation of Floor Area as described below. Drop
ceilings are not included in the height measurement for crawl spaces.
▪ Crawl spaces that meet the following are exempt from Floor Area calculations:
a.Five (5) feet six (6) inches or less in height measured between the hard floor structure and
floor framing; and
b.Accessible only through an interior floor hatch, exterior access panel, or similar feature; and
c.Are the minimum height and size reasonably neces sary for the mechanical equipment.
▪ The existing slab-on-grade space below the existing main floor is exempt from floor area
calculations as it meets all three of these requirements and doesn’t house any mechanical
equipment.
61
▪ Attic space that is convenientl y accessible and is either habitable or can be made habitable shall be
counted in the calculation of Floor Area.
▪ Areas of an attic level with thirty (30) vertical inches or less between the finished floor level and
the finished ceiling shall be exempt, regardless of how that space is accessed or used.
▪ The existing lofted upper level has areas on both the east and west which meet this code
section. The existing ceiling slopes at a pitch where the finish floor meets the ceiling at floor
level. The area calculations reflect the reduction in floor area calculations.
(4)Decks, Balconies, Loggias, Gazebos, Trellis, Exterior Stairways, and non -Street-facing
porches.
▪ The existing front patio is to remain and is under the allowable 15% on the site.
▪ Subsections 4.c-f, 5-15 are not applicable. Text omitted for clarity.

are permitted in all required yard setbacks. Fences and hedges up to six (6) feet in height, as
measured from finished grade, are permitted only in areas entirely reces sed behind the vertical
plane established by the portion of the building facade which is closest to the Street. This restriction
applies on all Street-facing facades of a parcel.
▪ Existing fencing is to remain.
▪ Subsections (5.q-t) are not applicable. Text is omitted for clarity.

(1)For properties in the Commercial Core (CC), Commercial (C1), Commercial Lodge (CL),
Neighborhood Commercial (NC) and Service Commercial Industrial (SCI) Zone Districts, the
height of the building shall be the maximum distance between the ground and the highest point
of the roof top, roof ridge, parapet, or top -most portion of the structure. See Subsection (3),
below, for measurement method.
(2)For properties in all other Zone Districts, the height of the building shall be measured
according to the pitch of the roof as follows. See Subsection (3), below, for measurement
method.
b. Roofs with a pitch from 3:12 to 7:12 . The height of a building with a roof pitch from 3:12
to 7:12 shall be measured from the ground to the point of the roof vertically halfway between
the eave point and the ridge. There shall be no limit on the height of the ridge.
▪ The lower roof height calculations are derived by measuring to the midpoint between the
eave and ridge.
c. Roofs with a pitch greater than 7:12 . The height of a building with a roof pitch greater
than 7:12 shall be measured from the ground to the point of the roof vertically one -third (⅓)
of the distance up from the eave point to the ridge. There shall be no limit on the height of
the ridge.
▪ The primary roof height calculations are derived by measuring to the 1/3 point located
between the eave and ridge.
e. For "shed" roofs with a single -pitch, the methodology for measuring shall be the same as
described above according to the slope of the roof and by using the highest point of the roof
as the ridge.
▪ The shed roof height calculations are derived by measuring to the midpoint between the eave
and ridge.
▪ Not applicable.

PRE-APPLICATION CONFERENCE SUMMARY
DATE: February 20, 2020
PLANNER: Sarah Yoon, 920.5144
PROJECT NAME AND ADDRESS: 820 E. Cooper – Minor Development Review
REPRESENTATIVE: Lauren Bullard, 970.987.4633, lauren.bullard@gmail.com
DESCRIPTION:
820 E. Cooper is a historically designated miner’s cottage on a 3,000 sq. ft. lot in the RMF zone district. The existing
footprint reveals that non-historic additions were added to the rear of the historic resource over time.
The applicant wishes to replace the existing front door and enlarge the existing non-historic addition towards the
rear of the property by approximately 24 sq. ft. It appears that the original dimensions of the front door has been
widened and additional trim was added around the historic transom window to compensate for alterations made to
the door opening. Staff supports the request to replace the existing non-historic door with an appropriate door if
the original opening and surrounding trim details are restored. Restoration work is eligible for an administrative
Certificate of No Negative Effect, however, if the applicant wishes to keep the non-historic dimensions of the front
door, the proposal will need to be reviewed by the Historic Preservation Commission (HPC) for approval.
The request to increase existing floor area by 24 sq. ft. qualifies for a Minor Review process that will need full HPC
review. It is important to note that any increase in floor area will require growth management mitigation. Mitigation
for approximately 24 sq. ft. of new floor area generates 0.003 full-time equivalent employees (24 sq. ft. x 0.16
employees generated/1,000 sq. ft), which equals a cash-in-lieu value of approximately $1,027.80 using the following
calculation: 0.003 x $342,599 (cash-in-lieu rate for Category 2 affordable housing). See Section 26.470 for additional
information. If the applicant decides to pursue the increase in floor area and the door change simultaneously, the
administrative review for restoration will be combined with the one-step Minor Review process for HPC review.
HPC will use the Historic Preservation Design Guidelines and the Land Use Code Sections that are applicable to this
project to assist with their determinations. This property is exempt from Residential Design Standard Review (RDS).
