WHEREAS, Section 26.415.070 of the Municipal Code states that "no building or structure
shall be erected, constructed, enlarged, altered, repaired, relocated or improved involving a
designated historic property or district until plans or sufficient information have been submitted
to the Community Development Director and approved in accordance with the procedures
established for their review;" and
WHEREAS, for Conceptual major Development Review, the HPC must review the application,
a staff analysis report and the evidence presented at a hearing to determine the project's
conformance with the City of Aspen Historic Preservation Design Guidelines per Section
26.415.070.D.3.b.2 and 3 of the Municipal Code and other applicable Code Sections. The HPC
may approve, disapprove, approve with conditions or continue the application to obtain
additional information necessary to make a decision to approve or deny; and

WHEREAS, Amy Simon, in her staff report to HPC dated May 28, 2014, performed an analysis
of the application based on the standards. The staff recommendation was that the property

qualifies as the "best" category of historic resources. Staff also recommended in favor of the
Conceptual design review and Stream Margin review; and
WHEREAS, at their regular meeting on May 28, 2104, the Historic Preservation Commission

recommendation and public comments, and found the project to be consistent with the review
criteria, with conditions, by a vote of 5 to 0.
