Board of Adjustment*
I desire the appointment
for the following
reasons:
Over the last four years it's been a pleasure charing the Board of
Adjustments with an amazing team of board members. I believe
what has made us such a positive force to work on behalf of the
city government and residents is the life experience myself and
each board member brings to the dais. We don't kick the can
down the road and we efficiently and methodically address the
residents perceived hardship with the city code and city staff
conclusions. We take the hard part away from the city employee
who's job is to tow the line of the city code. It's been a wonderful
experience to have charted this exception and needed board. I
hope to continue the job with my exceptional team.

What do you know
about the Aspen
Historic Preservation
Commission or
Planning & Zoning
Commission?
I was here during its inception and have served twice. It is one of
our most important commissions in that it has kept our historic
inventory from being removed and has allowed this community to
maintain its historic charm.
What interests you
about serving on this
commission?
One way to contribute to our community.
What is your
understanding of the
public process related
Without the commission Aspen would have lost a majority of its
history and with the commission over the years more of the
community have come to realize the importance of maintaining
42
to community planning
and / or the designation
of historic properties?
our history and the social and commercial value of doing so.
The one weakness of the original designation was not covering
more of the community area thus we have many residential
blocks with large modern structures dominating over historic
buildings.
What are your skills or
knowledge that will
help improve the
commission?
I have been involved in actual construction industry for 53 years
from design, renovation, and preservation of Aspen's Victorians
and other structures through my business. Evaluation of
structures and repair is part of our expertise and this has enabled
me to provide sound advice regarding structure, repair and
coatings along with best products to be used during renovation
and products or services not to use, thus it seems I am the guy
on the commission who is in the field.
What is your general
philosophy on the
Aspen Area
Community Plan?
Aspen is and has been an innovative community since its
inception and plans are important if used and not ignored due to
serious economic or social pressures. Times change as so to can
plans but not without real input and serious time commitment. We
are a community of educated, opinionated and sometime very
self serving folks thus a great deal of patience is required to
maintain any plan.
This is a volunteer
position that sometimes
requires a lot of time
and there is no
compensation, how will
you be able to commit
to this?
Well i did it for a decade and have been doing is for past term and
I enjoy the process and ability to make time.

What do you know
about the Aspen
Historic Preservation
Commission or
Planning & Zoning
Commission?
I know this commission advises city council on the needs of the
city regarding planning and zoning. For example, whether we
need to change the zoning on a place because we need more of
something or that we need to plan for the future with how our
town physically looks in the planning side of things.
What interests you
about serving on this
commission?
I believe this committee is vital to the future of Aspen and the way
it will look in the future. I believe I have a great perspective on
Aspen and would to help. I studied GIS/Geography at the
University of Denver and one of my greatest interests was
planning and city designs. It can be really interesting to shape
97
how a city looks and functions and is vital to keep the vibrancy
and character of the city intact.
What is your
understanding of the
public process related
to community planning
and / or the designation
of historic properties?
We have commissions like P&Z to help advise city council on
community planning. These commissions are specific and really
take a deep dive into the why and how to improve. The
designation of historic properties has a committee for that as well
but P&Z is also involved in that discussion to make it fits into the
community plan.
What are your skills or
knowledge that will
help improve the
commission?
I studied city planning at the University of Denver and have a
deep understanding of what it takes for a city to function properly
and look the way it is supposed to look.
What is your general
philosophy on the
Aspen Area
Community Plan?
My general philosophy is that we need crystal clear goal setting
on a continuous basis. The AACP is a great start but needs to be
continuously updated as circumstances change.
This is a volunteer
position that sometimes
requires a lot of time
and there is no
compensation, how will
you be able to commit
to this?
I am incredibly civic minded and always find time for my passions
of which this would be one of them. I am a volunteer firefighter
and Response advocate. I take pride in what I do and am
committed to serving the community.
