Management – CONTINUE PUBLIC HEARING TO JANUARY 25th, 2023.
MOTION: Ms. Thompson moved to continue the Public Hearing to January 25th, 2023. Mr. Halferty
seconded. All in Favor, motion passes.
NEW BUSINESS:
500 E. Durant – Minor Development Review and Commercial Design Review, PUBLIC HEARING
Applicant Presentation: Chris Bendon – Bendon Adams
Mr. Bendon began by introducing the Belly Up building and described a few of the tenants. He also
introduced Paul Clayton and Stephen Williams from Clayton Korte Architects and Michael Goldberg from
the Belly Up. Mr. Bendon mentioned that the applicant was doing mostly interior changes and he went
over a brief history of the building and described its location, noting that it is not listed as a historic
building and that there are no historic buildings on the block face, but the building does live in the
historic commercial core district. Next, he described some of the interior changes planned. He showed
the current condition of the Galena St. façade and a rendering of the proposed exterior changes, noting
that this would include an extension of the elevator, the removal of an exterior stair access and also a
materials refresh. He then showed the current conditions of the Durant façade and a rendering of the
proposed exterior changes to include an updated window packet. A sample of the window packet was
then passed around to the members. He then pointed out the proposed extended balcony compared to
the two smaller separate existing balconies. The proposed balcony would extend across the whole south
façade. A site plan of the ground floor was shown, and Mr. Bendon pointed out the proposed outdoor
dining area. He mentioned that the redesign maintains the character defining features of the main roof
gable and modernizes the materials of the balcony. Next Mr. Bendon showed a few pictures of existing
buildings in the core and highlighted different ways that brick has been treated. He then described their
proposed mineral wash for the brick columns and noted that it was a point that staff wanted to be
discussed with HPC. He went over some of their reasons for choosing it, including that is a water-based
product that is removable and does not seal the brick. Then a few samples of the product applied to
brick were passed around and he noted that the existing brick on the building is a much harder material
than what’s found on most historic buildings in town. He then said that they believe the related
guidelines have been met and when over their reasoning for this. Mr. Bendon then turned it over to
Michael Goldberg for a few comments. Mr. Goldberg mentioned that they have spent over a year
developing this concept and think they have something really exciting to offer this corner of town.
Ms. Thompson asked about the proposed extension of the elevator, particularly the overrun because
those typically come back at permit submittal, bigger than what is originally proposed. Mr. Clayton said
that there would be no overrun as they are only extending the existing Lula lift. Regarding the posts and
beams proposed for the porch extension to support the upper balcony, Ms. Thompson said it looked like
they had intentionally aligned them out of character with the chalet style of the building and asked if
that was on purpose. Mr. Clayton said yes and described their reasoning related to the existing design of
the building.
REGULAR MEETING HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION DECEMBER 14TH, 2022
Mr. Moyer asked who the manufacturer of the mineral wash was. Mr. Clayton said it was Chateau
Domingue out of Houston. Mr. Moyer asked if a sealer was required before application and about the
removal process. Mr. Clayton said no sealer is required and that it can be removed by power washing.
Mr. Halferty asked how the mineral wash is applied and about its opacity. Mr. Clayton said it is applied
by brush and that it is very opaque.
Ms. Thompson asked if they had tested the mineral wash on the grout to which Mr. Clayton said no, just
on brick samples.
Staff Presentation: Amy Simon – Planning Director
Ms. Simon started by noting that there had been several discussions with other City Departments prior
to this meeting, including Environmental Health and Engineering related to trash storage in the alley and
drainage issues on the outdoor patio on Durant. She noted that the applicant is actually decreasing the
net leasable space so there is no concern that more employees would be generated. Two spinoff
reviews related to Growth Management and view planes were mentioned and described. Those would
take place after HPC’s review. Ms. Simon went on to describe some of the history of the building and
noted that while it was not a designated historic building it does represent an important era of the
development of downtown. Some historical pictures of downtown were shown. Ms. Simon then went
over some things staff had pointed out in the memo related to the guidelines. These included the
window design and mineral wash. She mentioned that staff is really opposed to the use of the mineral
wash for many reasons. One of which is that a very strong characteristic of the downtown core is the
use of natural red masonry and staff believes that this needs to be respected. She said that there is a
real potential loss of identity downtown if the material compatibility continues to be erased. She
showed pictures of two adjacent buildings where red brick is seen. She expressed some concern over
the durability of the mineral wash and said that staff is recommending against any type of coating of the
brick, which is the only condition of approval in the resolution. She said there is a lot of good here and
that staff recommends approval of this with the condition to not coat the brick.
PUBLIC COMMENT: Jimmy Marcus stated that this was one of the earlier buildings that his father had
built and while it may not have been designed by a notable architect, they are very proud it is still here
and are glad it won’t be heading to the landfill. He said this is their one chance to breath new life into
the building for another 50 years and thought the proposed design honored its history but gave it a bit
more of a contemporary clean look. He thought that the red brick on the building looked very dated.
BOARD DISCUSSION: Ms. Thompson opened board discussion by thanking the applicants. She noted the
main issue of discussion would be the brick.
Mr. Halferty also thanked the applicants and said he thought the application met many of the
guidelines. He said that whatever they do on the board he always wants to make it is retrievable. He
noted that for other material types like wood siding they don’t get into colors, but for the brick here
thought it should be restudied. Knowing the applicants concern about the existing brick and also staff’s
comments about protecting the overall neighborhood and how the brick was used historically, he hoped
there would be a way to address both concerns. He asked for a good mockup of the brick coating to be
approved by staff and monitor. He was in support of the application, with more details about the brick
coating and a mockup to be provided and approved.
REGULAR MEETING HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION DECEMBER 14TH, 2022
Ms. Surfas asked if the issue with the wash was its application or its color. She felt she was hearing both
concerns.
Ms. Thompson thought that staff’s concern was about any treatment to any brick.
Ms. Simon said the design guidelines for the entire neighborhood talk of natural red toned bricks being
important to the character of the downtown. She said the main concern is not the actual color of the
coating, but more about erasing that character and definition of the brick and grout lines.
Mr. Bendon said that the grout lines would still be visible with the wash, and you will still see the
individual bricks and grout lines.
Ms. Surfas said she was still conflicted as the concerns she was hearing from Ms. Simon were different
from the concerns about washing brick with a coating and what happens to the brick.
There was then some discussion about the differing concerns.
Mr. Fornell said he was satisfied with the application as being presented and stated that the building is
in the Historic District but is not a historic building. He said he would be looking at this differently if this
was a historic asset, but the other option of the applicant would be demolition. He agreed with Mr.
Halferty about the use of a mockup of the brick wash to be reviewed by staff and monitor.
Ms. Thompson said her concern was with the opaqueness of the wash. She heard the applicant say that
the grout lines would still be visible, but she really didn’t believe it and would like to see a sample of it
applied.
Mr. Moyer said he thought it was a fine project and meets all the guidelines. On this this building he did
not oppose the mineral wash product. He said that if this building was in the middle of a row of historic
buildings, he might be more in tune with staff’s concerns about maintaining the brick, but this is an
isolated building. He asked some questions about the product details and its manufacturer. He then said
that the board needed to have further discussion about washing brick located in the historic core but on
non-historic buildings. He also agreed with Mr. Halferty on the importance of a mockup.
MOTION: Ms. Thompson moved to approve the next resolution in the series with the revision to section
#1 to include a requirement that a sample of the brick finish be applied in an inconspicuous location on
the building including both the brick and mortar to be reviewed by staff and monitor and to brought
back to the board if an acceptable application is not agreed upon. The motion also included striking the
window condition. Mr. Moyer seconded. Roll call vote: Mr. Fornell, yes; Mr. Moyer, yes; Ms. Surfas, yes;
Mr. Halferty, yes; Ms. Thompson, yes. 5-0: All in favor, motion passes.
Mr. Moyer was assigned to be the monitor on the project.
ADJOURN: Ms. Thompson motioned to adjourn the regular meeting. Mr. Moyer seconded. All in favor;
motion passes.

REQUEST OF HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION (HPC)
The Applicant is requesting the following land use approvals:
• Minor Development (Section 26.415.070.C) and Commercial Design Review (Section
26.412.040.E)- a one-step design review of exterior alterations to a designated property.
The Historic Preservation Commission (HPC) is the final review authority. The project is subject
to Call-Up notice to City Council.
STAFF COMMENTS: 602 E. Hyman is an AspenModern landmark, voluntarily designated
historic by the owner in 2013. It was designed in a few phases, the last of which is attributed to a
local modernist architect of note, Ellie Brickham. A full rehabilitation of the building and an addition
were completed in 2019.
The applicant for this review owns the residential unit and the commercial unit on the second floor
of the building. They request a change in fenestration at the entry to their unit, accessed from a
deck at the southwest corner of the historic portion of the building. In addition they would like to
improve the appearance of areas adjacent to their units, adding sand set pavers below their deck,
and a screen wall for fairly conspicuous utility meters, on the street facing west wall of the
resource.
The applicable review criteria and staff findings are detailed in Exhibit A. Staff supports the
request for the pavers, which have no direct impact on the historic structure and improve usability
of outdoor space. There is a large tree that must be preserved in this corner of the site and for
that reason mulch was required in the courtyard area in the past to protect the tree roots. The
City Forester has authorized careful installation of these pavers to proceed now.
Page 3 of 6
427 Rio Grande Place | aspen.gov
Regarding the proposed fence to screen the utility meters, staff
supports the concept but suggests that a more minimal panel,
closer to the meters, perhaps painted white, that is hinged or can
be removed when needed would be adequate. The proposed
fence, which is 6’ tall, is a fairly substantial obstruction in front of
the resource. Painting the meters to match the wall or adding
more landscaping might also be improvements. The design
guidelines do encourage careful location and/or screening of
these elements. Staff’s recollection is that this wall was identified
as the only reasonable location for meters given various codes,
but they are admittedly visually intrusive.
The application mentions that the proposed utility meter screening fence might be perceived to
reduce the required Pedestrian Amenity (loosely defined as open space) on the site because it
will enclose and block view of a landscaped area. This is arguably true, however in reviewing the
diagram of required Pedestrian Amenity from the 2017 permit, it appears that the architect at the
time understated the amount of qualifying area that was actually being provided, not counting the
walkway near the meters, for instance. Staff finds that there is no net decrease of Pedestrian
Amenity occurring, even if the proposed design is approved.

427 Rio Grande Place | aspen.gov
The final request in the application is to widen the existing door and window grouping at the entry
to the upper floor residential unit. The application describes that an opening existed in this area
in the original early 1970s design. At the time, the opening was approximately 6’ wide and the
associated entry deck was smaller. In the recent renovation, the deck was enlarged and the doors
and window were increased to 10’4” wide. The current request is a 14’3” opening.
Staff does not support this continued increase in the opening in the historic façade, finding that
the design guidelines are not met. During the previous land use review, the board denied the
addition of a separate window adjacent to this entry door, finding it to destroy historic fabric and
to depart from the original design. Clear images of all sides of the building are not available from
Existing west facade

the period of construction, however generally there were large openings on the south façade and
limited punched openings on the east and west.

RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends HPC approve the pavers, allow for a new utility screen
to be further refined through staff and monitor, and deny the fenestration change, as stated in the
attached Resolution.

Review for the property located at 602 E. Hyman Avenue, City and Townsite of Aspen,
Colorado; and
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 Minor 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.C 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, for approval of Commercial Design Review, the application shall meet the
requirements of Aspen Municipal Code Section 26.412, Commercial Design Review; and
WHEREAS, Community Development Department staff reviewed the application for

denied. Regarding the proposed screen wall for the utility meters, the architect is to provide a
restudy for review and approval by staff and monitor which reduces the screen, for instance to be
a single plane panel, closer to the meters, painted white, hinged, or removable, or which reduces
the visual impact of the meters by painting them white or adding more adjacent vegetation of a
similar height.
Section 2: Material Representations
All material representations and commitments made by the Applicant pursuant to the
development proposal approvals as herein awarded, whether in public hearing or documentation
presented before the Community Development Department, the Historic Preservation
Commission, or the Aspen City Council are hereby incorporated in such plan development
approvals and the same shall be complied with as if fully set forth herein, unless amended by

Staff Findings
26.415.070. Development involving designated historic property or property
within a historic district.
No building, structure or landscape shall be erected, constructed, enlarged, altered,
repaired, relocated or improved involving a designated historic property or a property
located within a Historic 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. An application for a building permit cannot be submitted
without a development order.
26.415.070.C Minor Development
3. The procedures for the review of minor development projects are as follows:
b) Staff shall review the submittal material and prepare a report that analyzes
the project's conformance with the design guidelines and other applicable
Land Use Code sections. This report will be transmitted to the HPC with
relevant information on the proposed project and a recommendation to
approve, disapprove or approve with conditions and the reasons for the
recommendation. The HPC will review the application, the report and the
evidence presented at the hearing to determine the project's conformance
with the City Historic Preservation Design Guidelines.
c) The HPC shall approve, disapprove, approve with conditions or continue
the application to obtain additional information necessary to make a
decision to approve or deny. If the application is approved, the HPC shall
issue a certificate of appropriateness and the Community Development
Director shall issue a development order.
Staff Findings: The project is subject to compliance with the applicable Historic
Preservation Design Guidelines and Commercial Design Guidelines listed below.
Guidelines which staff finds are not met are highlighted. It is recommended that the utility
meter screen wall be restudied for review and approval by staff and monitor, with the goal
of reducing visual impact in the foreground of the resource to best comply with historic
preservation guideline 12.4 and Commercial guideline 1.31.
The enlargement of fenestration on the historic resource is found to be inappropriate as
it does not meet historic preservation guideline 3.7.

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.
3.7 Adding new openings on a historic structure is generally not allowed.
• Greater flexibility in installing new windows may be considered on rear or
secondary walls.
• New windows should be similar in scale to the historic openings on the building,
but should in some way be distinguishable as new, through the use of somewhat
different detailing, etc.
• Preserve the historic ratio of window openings to solid wall on a façade.
• Significantly increasing the amount of glass on a character defining façade will
negatively affect the integrity of a structure.
12.4 Minimize the visual impacts of utilitarian areas, such as mechanical equipment
and trash storage.
• Place mechanical equipment on the ground where it can be screened.
• Mechanical equipment may only be mounted on a building on an alley façade.
• Rooftop mechanical equipment or vents must be grouped together to minimize
their visual impact. Where rooftop units are visible, it may be appropriate to
Page 4 of 5
provide screening with materials that are compatible with those of the building
itself. Use the smallest, low profile units available for the purpose.
• Window air conditioning units are not allowed.
• Minimize the visual impacts of utility connections and service boxes. Group them
in a discrete location. Use pedestals when possible, rather than mounting on a
historic building.
• Paint mechanical equipment in a neutral color to minimize their appearance by
blending with their backgrounds
• In general, mechanical equipment should be vented through the roof, rather than
a wall, in a manner that has the least visual impact possible.
• Avoid surface mounted conduit on historic structures.
RELEVANT COMMERCIAL DESIGN STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES- GENERAL
1.3 Landscape elements (both hardscape and softscape) should complement
the surrounding context, support the street scene, and enhance the
architecture of the building.
• This applies to landscape located both on-site and in the public right-of-way.
• High quality and durable materials should be used.
• Early in the design process, consider stormwater best management practices as
an integral part of the landscape design process.
1.4 Where there is open space on a site, reinforce the traditional transition from
public space, to semi-public space to private space.
• This may be achieved through a fence, a defined walkway, a front porch element,
covered walkway, or landscape.
MANDATORY STANDARD
1.22 Complete and accurate identification of materials is required.
• Provide drawings that identify the palette of materials, specifications for the
materials, and location on the proposed building as part of the application.
• Physical material samples shall be presented to the review body. An onsite mock-
up prior to installation may be required.
Page 5 of 5
1.31 Minimize the visual impacts of utility connections and service boxes.
• Group and discreetly locate these features.
• Use screening and materials that compliment the architecture.
1.34 Consider updating windows, doors, and/or primary entrances to better
relate to the Character Area and pedestrian experience.
1.35 Design alterations to relate to the existing building style and form that may
remain.
MANDATORY STANDARD
Remodel
1.33 All remodel projects shall meet Standards 1.22 and 1.23.
MANDATORY STANDARD
1.23 Building materials shall have these features:
• Convey the quality and range of materials found in the current block context or seen
historically in the Character Area.
• Convey pedestrian scale.
• Enhance visual interest through texture, application, and/or dimension.
• Be non-reflective. Shiny or glossy materials are not appropriate as a primary
material.
• Have proven durability and weathering characteristics within Aspen’s climate.
• A material with an integral color shall be a neutral color. Some variation is allowed
for secondary materials.

RE: 602 E. Hyman Avenue, Unit 201
Historic Preservation Minor Development Review
Ms. Simon:
Please accept this application for a Historic Preservation Minor Development and
Commercial Design Standard Reviews to make three modifications to the exterior of the
EB Building, at 602 E Hyman Avenue. The owners of the residential unit have identified
three elements they would like to modify to enhance their use of the residence. Request
1 is to enlarge the existing door opening on the West Elevation that accesses the exterior
deck. Request 2 is to install sand set stone pavers below the exterior deck on the West
façade. Request 3 is to install a wood fence to at the West Building entrance to screen
the utility meters.
The building was designated as an Aspen Modern Historic Landmark via Ordinance 10,
2013. A renovation project received Major Development and Commercial Design
Standard Review via Resolution 3, 2014. In 2017 the building was renovated into the
present condition.
This application responds to the Historic Preservation Minor Development Review and
Commercial Design Standards Review sections of the Land Use Code. The property is
located within the C-1 Zone District; therefore, the existing residential unit is a non-
conforming existing use. No change to the residential or commercial floor areas, gross,
calculated F.A.R. or net livable/leasable areas are being requested in this application.
Parcel Description

Common: 602 E Hyman Ave., Unit 201
Parcel ID No: 2737 182 12 058
Request 1 – Enlarging the door opening on the West Façade
Photos of the original EB Building show a door with adjacent sidelite; approximately 6
feet wide, opening to an above grade deck. The 2017 renovation enlarged this opening
to 10’-4” and inserted a 4-panel sliding door system. This application requests to
enlarge the opening to 14’-3”, extending the opening to the South edge of the deck. A
3-panel, sliding door system would be installed matching the 7’-4” height of the existing
door. The proposed door maintains the panel system of the original opening, while

enhancing the modern character of the building. Located behind the existing spruce
tree, this element is somewhat screened from public view, sitting just below the canopy
of the tree.

Request 2 – Installation of sand set stone pavers below the existing Second floor deck
The area below the existing West deck is a barren unused area covered with mulch. This
application requests installation of square pavers to replace the mulch. This installation
will allow access from the sidewalk to the stair and area below the deck without
stepping on mulch per the current condition. The installation has been reviewed with
David Coon, City Forester, and agreed proper installation above undisturbed soils will
not affect the health of the existing tree.

Request 3 – Installation of wood fence at West building entry to screen utility meters
The primary entrance to the building, for access to the second story Residence and
neighboring Commercial Unit, is via a sidewalk system at the Northern end of the West
facade. Along this entry sequence the electrical meters, disconnects, and natural gas
meter are place on a prominent wall. A wood fence, detailed to match the existing
wood fence screening the trash area at the North end of the property would be installed
to screen the meters and enhance the Entry sequence.
Existing condition Proposed wood screen at utility meters
We believe the three proposed modifications do not distract from the original historic
resource and enhance the modern aesthetic of the EB Building.
Please accept this application and the accompanying attachments for Historic Minor
Development and Commercial Design Standard Reviews.

PLANNER: Planner of the Day, planneroftheday@gmail.com
REPRESENTATIVE: Dave Rybak, dave@daverybak.com
PROJECT LOCATION: 602 E. Hyman Avenue
REQUEST: Historic Preservation – Minor Development Review & Commercial Design Review
DESCRIPTION: 602 E. Hyman Avenue is an Aspen Modern Landmark that was designated in 2013. This
building was designed by Ellie Brickham, recognized as a significant local architect, whose work exemplifies
the Modern Architecture movement in Aspen. The Historic Preservation Commission (HPC) reviewed and
approved a Major Development scope of work on this property, which included minor exterior changes and
additions (HPC Resolution #05, Series of 2013 and HPC Resolution #27, Series of 2013). Currently, this
property consists of both commercial and residential uses.
The applicant proposes the following modifications to the property which qualifies for Minor Development
Review: construct a wooden screen around the existing utility meters along Hunter Street, site improvements
that include hardscaping under the existing deck, alter an existing opening on the west façade of the landmark,
and expand the roof terrace.
The proposed scope of work must seek the HPC’s approval for Minor Development Review and Commercial
Design Review. The applicant must demonstrate compliance with all applicable criteria in the Historic
Preservation Design Guidelines, Commercial, Lodging, and Historic District Design Standards (Chapter 1 –
General and Chapter 4 – Commercial Area), and all applicable Land Use Code Sections.
The Minor Development Review and Commercial Design Review may be consolidated into a one-step
process reviewed by the Historic Preservation Commission (HPC) where the project may be approved,
disapproved, or approved with conditions.
Following approval, if granted, staff will inform City Council of the HPC decision, allowing them the opportunity
to uphold the HPC’s decision or to “Call-Up” aspects of the approval for further discussion. This is a standard
practice for Commercial Design Review.

HISTORIC PRESERVATION DESIGN GUIDELINE REVIEW
CHAPTER 1: SITE PLANNING AND LANDSCAPE DESIGN
1.1 All projects shall respect the historic development pattern or context of the
block, neighborhood or district.
The proposed revisions are in context with renovated resource, the block in
which it sits and the Commercial district. The block has a number of modern
aesthetic buildings, and the proposed revisions to the EB building compliment
the modern aesthetic.
The enlarged door enhances the modern, large fenestration pattern commonly
found within the neighborhood.
The sand set pavers will re-introduce a tailored, finished at grade courtyard
that was removed during the 2017 renovation, complimenting the existing East
courtyard, and other paved areas within the block.
Screening the utility meters visually “cleans” the block.
1.5 Maintain the historic hierarchy of spaces.
1.7 Provide positive open space within a project site.
The enlarged door opening is contained within the second floor deck
perimeter, reinforcing the space and relationship to the building.
The at grade pavers installation is confined within the exiting site fence, and
below the above grade deck, reinforcing the separation of public sidewalk to
semi-public courtyard.
Screening the utility meters will reduce the “back of house” feeling the West
entrance currently experiences.
1.8 Consider stormwater quality needs early in the design project.
The sand set pavers will maintain the stormwater quality design implemented
in the 2017 renovation. Water will percolate through the pavers into the
ground.
602 E. Hyman, Unit 201
HP Design Guideline Review
2
1.9 Landscape development on AspenModern landmarks shall be addressed on a
case-by-case basis.
The sand set pavers will re-introduce a tailored, finished at grade courtyard
that was removed during the 2017 renovation, complimenting the existing East
courtyard, and other paved areas within the block.
Screening the utility meters visually “cleans” the block.
1.11 Preserve and maintain historically significant landscaping on site, particularly
landmark trees and shrubs.
Installation of sand set pavers near the impact to the large spruce tree was
discussed with Dave Coon, City Forester. He determined this installation can
be accomplished without impact to the tree.
1.12 Provide an appropriate context for historic structures.
The three proposed revisions individually work with the context of the historic
portion of the resource, and the 2017 renovation.
FENCES
1.18 When building an entirely new fence, use materials that are appropriate to the
building type and style.
The fence will match the existing wood fence screening the trash area at the
north end of the site. An alternative material selection could have been a
CMU wall, which would have competed with the resource. A wood fence is
appropriate as a screen within the composition of this resource.
1.19 A new fence should have a transparent quality, allowing views into the yard
from the street.
The proposed fence will have a solid aesthetic, although there will be small
gaps will between the wood boards. This treatment is appropriate when the
fence is to be utilized as a screen.
1.20 Any fence taller than 42” should be designed so that it avoids blocking public
views of important features of a designated building.
The 6ft tall fence will not block an important feature of the resource.
602 E. Hyman, Unit 201
HP Design Guideline Review
3
CHAPTER 4: DOORS
4.1 Preserve historically significant doors
4.2 Maintain the original size of a door and it’s opening
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.
The southern portion of the second floor was a 1968 addition which could not
be confirmed as designed by Ellie Brickham. That addition included a 6 foot
wide door and sidelight combination. The 2017 renovation enlarged the door
to 10’-4”. The proposed enlargement enhanced the relationship of the door
opening to the deck, and the openness of the modern aesthetic.
CHAPTER 12: MECHANICAL EQUIOPMENT, SERVICE AREAS
12.4 Minimize the visual impacts of utilitarian areas, such as mechanical equipment
and trash storage.
The proposed fence will clean up the utility meter area of the building, and
enhance the West entrance of the building.

COMMERCIAL DESIGN STANDARDS REVIEW
SITE PLANNING AND STREETSCAPE:
1.1 All projects shall provide a context study.
The project is sited at the corner of Hyman Avenue and Hunter Street, within
the C-1 Commercial zone district. This portion of Hyman Avenue contains
numerous AspenModern Historic structures such as the Benton Building,
Patricia Moore Building, and the Crandall Building; along with recently
constructed buildings such as Aspen Core, Victorian Square, Muse Building and
the Aspen Art Museum.
1.2 All projects shall respond to the traditional street grid
The proposed revisions to the existing structure do not altern the buildings
relationship with the street grid.
1.3 Landscape elements should complement the surrounding context, support the
street scene and enhance the architecture of the building.
The proposed sand set pavers enhance the urban context of the site, and
street scene, while the proposed fence will screen unsightly utility boxes from
the pedestrian experience.
1.4 Where there is an open space on a site, reinforce the traditional transition
from public space to semi-public space to private space.
The proposed sand set pavers will reinforce the transition from public
sidewalk to semi-public building access, formalizing a transition that currently
utilizes mulch, which is a material transition that is out of context and non-
functional.
1.6 When a building façade is set back, define the property line.
The existing West façade has multiple steps back from the property line, with
the existing low fence and ramped walk defining the property line. The
proposed revisions will not detract from this definition.
602 E. Hyman, Unit 201
HP Minor Development Review

MATERIALS AND DETAILS:
1.22 Complete and accurate identification of materials is required.
1.23 Building materials shall have these features:
Convey the quality and range of materials found in the current block
context or seen historically in the Character Area
Convey pedestrian scale
Enhance visual interest through texture, application, and/or dimension
Be non-reflective.
Have a proven durability and weathering characteristics within Aspen’s
climate.
A material with an integral color shall be a natural color
The proposed door will have a black aluminum frame with insulated glass
panels, similar to the existing doors and windows within the building.
The proposed sand set pavers will be 24” X 12” San Pietro Sandstone pavers,
light grey in color, with flamed texture finish.
The fence will be 1x4 cedar boards, installed with a ½” gap between boards,
to match the existing fence at the trash area.
1.25 Architecture that reflects corporate branding of the tenant is not permitted.
No branding will be included within the design of the proposed elements.
LIGHTING, SERVICE AND MECHANICAL AREAS
1.26 The design of light fixtures should be appropriate to the form, materials, scale
and style of the building.
No additional lighting is proposed with this application.
1.31 Minimize the visual impacts of utility connections and service boxes
o Group and discreetly locate these features
o Use screening and materials that compliment the architecture
The proposed fence will meet the requirements of this criteria, screening the
utility connections and meters exposed to the sidewalk and West building
entrance.
602 E. Hyman, Unit 201
HP Minor Development Review
3
REMODEL
1.33 All remodel projects shall meet Standards 1.22 and 1.23
Please refer to responses to 1.22 and 1.23 above.
1.34 Consider updating windows, doors, and/or primary entrances to better relate
to the Character Area and pedestrian experience
Enlarging the door enhances the relationship of the building opening to the
adjacent above grade deck, anchoring the two elements within the façade.
1.35 Design alterations to relate to the existing building style and form that may
remain.
The proposed door will utilize an aluminum frame system as currently exists in
the building. The 3 panel door system enlarges the proportions within this
opening to align with the larger fixed panel windows on the adjacent walls.
1.36 Incorporate elements that define the property line in accordance with
Guideline 1.6
The proposed sand set pavers will reinforce the property line along the West
sidewalk, behind the existing fence.
PEDESTRIAN AMENITY
The current code requires 25% Public Amenity on the property. At the 2013
Historic designation of the building, the code requirement was 10% for
remodeled properties, and the proposal at that time provided 17%. The 2017
renovation included 1271.8 SF of pedestrian amenity area; 21.2% of the 6,002
SF lot. The proposed fence would reduce the visible public amenity by 71.56
SF, to 1,200 SF; 20% of the lot area. While this reduces calculated amenity,
the result improves the public interaction with the site, by screening the
visual clutter of the utility meters along this prominent public route. The
applicant suggests this reduction is minor and does not adversely affect the
space as public amenity.
602 E. Hyman, Unit 201
HP Minor Development Review
4
COMMERCIAL AREA
4.5 Maintain an architectural distinction between the street level and upper floors
to reinforce 19th-century commercial traditions.
The enlarged door will reinforce the distinction between the upper residential
use, with large fenestration on the West façade in contrast to the large
storefront windows sited on the South façade, at the pedestrian interface.
4.7 Large storefronts are recommended on the ground level
The 2017 renovation emphasized the storefront openings of the existing
resource along the Hyman Avenue sidewalks. The proposed revisions do not
distract from this emphasis.
4.8 If non-traditional materials are used, they should be subtle in appearance and
location and applied using traditional techniques.
The proposed revised elements will utilize materials that are in place on the
resource; a aluminum door system, stone pavers, and wood fence.

Excerpt from 2012 HPC Designation Application, Vann Associates, LLC.
Historic Landmark Sites and Structures. The designation of AspenModern properties to
the inventory is subject to compliance with Section 26.415.030.C. In order to be
designated as an example of AspenModern architecture, this section of the Regulations
states in part that "... an individual building, site structure or object ... must have a
demonstrated quality of significance". The specific review criteria to be used in
determining "quality of significance" are as follows. At least two of the criteria 1.
through 4., and criteria 5. must be met.
1. The property is related to an event, pattern or trend that has
made a contribution to local, state, regional or national history that is deemed
important, and the specific event, pattern or trend is identified and documented in
an adopted context paper;
2. The property is related to people who have made a contribu-
tion to local, state, regional or national history that is deemed important, and the
specific people are identified and documented in an adopted context paper;
3. The property represents a physical design that embodies the
distinctive characteristics of a type, period or method of construction, or
represents the technical or aesthetic achievements of a recognized designer,
craftsman, or design philosophy that is deemed important and the specific physical
design, designer, or philosophy is documented in an adopted context paper;
4. The property possesses such singular significance to the City,
as documented by the opinions of persons educated or experienced in the fields
of history, architecture, landscape architecture, archaeology or a related field, that
the property's potential demolition or major alteration would substantially diminish
the character and sense of place in the City as perceived by members of the
community; and
5. The property or district possesses an appropriate degree of
integrity of location, setting, design, materials, workmanship and association given
its age.
According to the City's Historic Preservation Officer, the City's building
permit records suggest that a one-story, concrete block building was constructed on the
southwest corner of the site in 1950 and occupied by a furniture store. The building
38
contained approximately 1,128 square feet, was possibly owner/contractor designed, and
was most likely somewhat nondescript in its appearance. A ground floor addition is
believed to have been added in approximately 1964, and a plate glass window installed
on the building's south facade.
In 1966, noted local architect Eleanor "Ellie" Brickham designed a two-
story addition for the western portion of the property, and her architectural "aesthetic"
appears to have been carried over to the adjacent one-story portion of the building. In
1968, a second floor was added above the original structure which emulated the 1966
two-story addition. Ms. Brickham's name however does not appear on the 1968
addition's building permit. Pictures of the 1966 and 1969 additions are included in the
Pre -Application Conference Summary (see Exhibit 1, Appendix A).
The City's historic preservation program includes official context papers
about the Post WWII architectural styles
that
have influenced the City,
including
Modernism. The AspeWodem context
paper
describes Modernism as
a style of
architecture that began in the 20th century as a result of a clear philosophical shift in
design, practices and attitudes. Ellie Brickham is listed therein as an "Architect of Note"
who completed significant works in Aspen and is considered to have left an imprint of
the philosophies of the Modernist period on the town. The following information
regarding Ellie Brickham is found in the City's AspenModern context paper.
"Ellie Brickham (1923-2008) moved to Aspen in 1951 after attending the
University of Colorado's School of Architect from 1941-1944. Construc-
tion was a family business, and her motivation to become a designer
began as a child. She was attracted by the skiing, but found herself the
only female architect in until Ellen Harland arrived in 1958.
Early in her career, Brickham worked in Fritz Benedict's office and
collaborated on projects with both Benedict and Bayer, participating in
work going on at the Aspen Institute. Like Benedict, she had a strong
interest in passive solar techniques. During her time in that office and,
39
later, in her own practice out of her home, she designed a number of
residences and commercial buildings in town, including houses for several
Music Festival artists in Aspen Grove, the elegantly simple brick
Strandberg Residence (1973, 422 Bleeker Street -demolished) and the
Patricia Moore Building (1963, 610 E. Hyman Avenue). In Pitkin County,
she designed numerous homes in pitkin Green and Starwood, on Red
mountain, including her own house (1955), with south and west walls
made completely of glass. Her works, which total at least sixty in the
Aspen area, are generally characterized by spare, simple forms and
minimal detailing, Brickham's projects focus on an "impeccable sense of
proportion and feeling of lightness" according to a 1977 Aspen Times
article. "
While Ellie Brickham apparently did not design the entire 602 East Hyman
building, its architectural character is heavily tied to her. Again, according to the City's
Historic Preservation Officer, "It is a very good representation of 1960's architecture in
the downtown, and is in the heart of the collection of modernist buildings in the 500
through 700 blocks of East Hyman Avenue, including the Mason and Morse, Benton
Studio, the Patricia Moore gallery, the Crandall building, and the Aspen Athletic Club ".
As discussed in the AspeaModern context paper, Ellie Brickham was a
significant practitioner of Aspen's Modernist architectural movement, having contributed
numerous examples of Modernist architecture to the City's built environment. Portions
of the existing 602 East Hyman building are attributable to her and its architecture is
indicative of the Modernist aesthetic that contributed to Aspen's history. Her
contributions were further recognized in 2001 by the HPC who presented her with a
"Preservation Honor Award". In addition, the existing building represents a physical
design that embodies the distinctive characteristics of the Modernist design philosophy,
and possesses an appropriate degree of integrity of location, setting, design, materials,
and association given its age.
As presently envisioned, the building's exterior will be retained in
essentially its current configuration. The Applicant's proposed changes to the building
40
are limited primarily to a modest addition adjacent to the alley which is required for
accessibility purposes, and an increase in a portion of the building's second floor ceiling
height. Based on the above, we believe that the proposed historic designation complies
with review criteria 1. , 3. and 5.
B. Major Development Conceptual Approval
The proposed addition to the 602 East Hyman building will require HPC
major development approval pursuant to Section 26.415.070.D. of the Regulations. To
obtain approval, the HPC must find that the addition complies with the City of Aspen
Historic Preservation Design Guidelines. The City's Historic Preservation Officer has
indicated that the following guidelines apply to conceptual major development approval.
The applicable guidelines, and the proposed development's compliance therewith, are
summarized below.
7.1 Preserve the original form of a roof.
a Do not alter the angle of a historic roof. Instead, maintain the
perceived line and orientation of the roof as seen from the street.
■ Retain and repair roof detailing.
While the Applicant proposes to raise a portion of the building's roof to
increase the ceiling height in the second floor residential unit, the height of the raised
roof element will be limited to approximately three feet. As the proposed roof plan
illustrates, the raised roof element has been set back from the existing roof perimeter so
as to minimize its visibility from the surrounding streetscape. The existing perimeter
roof detailing will be retained and repaired in the event required.
7.3 Minimize the visual impacts of skylights and other rooftop devices.
■ Flat skylights that are flush with the roof plane may be considered
only in an obscure location on a historic structure. Locating a skylight or a solar
panel on a front roof plane is not allowed.
