MEMORANDUM TO: Aspen Historic Preservation Commission FROM: Amy Guthrie, Historic Preservation Officer RE: 623 E. Hopkins Avenue- Conceptual Major Development, Conceptual Commercial Design, Demolition and Relocation-Public Hearing DATE: June 13,2012 SUMMARY: 623 E. Hopkins is a 6,000 square foot lot that currently contains two Victorian era structures along the street and one non-historic building along the alley. All of the buildings are occupied by local businesses, with no residential use on-site. The proposal before HPC includes restoration of the historic buildings and temporarily lifting the "Susie's" structure in order to build a new basement. No additions to the Victorians are planned. At the back of the site, the existing building is to be demolished and replaced with a new commercial/residential structure. The applicant and architect are responsible for the Conner Cabins project behind City Hall and are taking a similar approach on this property. The application does not require any variances and is well below the maximum square footage allowed on the site. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends some adjustments to the upper floor of the proposed rear structure in order to minimize the impact on the historic structures, as described in this memo. With those improvements, which have been suggested as conditions of approval, we support Conceptual approval, Demolition and Relocation. APPLICANT: Aspen Block 99, LLC, represented by Oz Architecture and Haas Land Planning. PARCEL ID: 2737-182-12-001. ADI)RESS: 623 E. 1 lopkins, Lots F and G. Block 99, City and Townsite of Aspen. ZONING: C-1. Commercial, Ilistoric Landmark MAJOR DEVELOPMENT (CONCEPTUAL) The procedure for a Major Development Review, at the Conceptual level, is as follows. Staff reviews the submittal materials and prepares a report that analyzes the project's conformance with the design guidelines and other applicable Land Use Code Sections. This report is 1 .. transmitted to the HPC with relevant information on the proposed project and a recommendation to continue, approve, disapprove or approve with conditions and the reasons for the recommendation. The HPC will review the application, the staff analysis report and the evidence presented at the hearing to determine the project's conformance with the City of Aspen Historic Preservation Design Guidelines. The LIPC may approve, disapprove, approve with conditions, or continue the application to obtain additional information necessary to make a decision to approve or deny. Major Development is a two-step process requiring approval by the HPC of a Conceptual Development Plan, and then a Final Development Plan. Approval of a Conceptual Development Plan shelli be binding upon HPC in regards to the location and form of the envelope of tile structure(s) and/or addition(s) as depicted in the Conceptual Plan application including its height, scale, massing and proportions. No changes will be made to this aspect of the proposed development by the HPC as part of their review of the Final Development Plan unless agreed to by the applicant. Staff Response: Conceptual review focuses on the height, scale, massing and proportions of a proposal. A list of the relevant design guidelines is attached as "Exhibit A." Since the March 2012 submission of this application. staffhas worked with the applicant to bring the project towards compliance with the historic preservation guidelines. The packet includes the first proposed streetscape elevation, as well as the current proposal, which is the fourth revision. Within downtown Aspen, there are approximately 12 miner's cottages that exist among the much larger masonry commercial buildings that predominate. Preservation of the residential scale of these buildings is very difficult given the intensive uses and development rights in the area. In staff's opinion, there are several very positive aspects of the proposed project at 623 E. Hopkins. The two Victorian structures on the site uillbe restored to a great degree and preserved as free standing buildings, with no major additions, at the front of the site. The project does not include any variances and is less than 40% of the allowed square footage that could theoretically be built on the property. The proposal retains two small commercial spaces and adds additional ground floor small commercial units at the back of the site. There is significant open space preserved around the historic buildings. That said. the proposed new structure at the rear of '· " ./.V ..%40.» ..% ..k:/ the site creates ali obviously larger and non- residential form as a backdrop to the old structures. Staff does believe that the Conner cabins project . (at right), which is quite similar. has successfully - demonstrated that the new construction can be compatible and sympathetic to these small historic . 'i + 06 houses.

The application contains a historic photo of the site which indicates 9 63/ 011< 063 0'r, that the eastern cabin was a carriage house type of structure. 1 he applicant plans to recreate that character to the extent possible. The , LZ-9. f k D 1904 Sanborne map depicting the propert> is seen at right. -- /0 At the Conceptual level, HPC should be primarily concerned with site - plan and form. Staff would like to see the upper floor of the new ..61 - structure continue to be adjusted to diminish the impact on the historic buildings. To the extent that the form can continue to be made more compact or perhaps reduced iii height in any manner, it t. 61 would be an improvement. Staff does not recommend that the upper roof deck be approved. The usable area of the deck is small, but requires a relatively significant staircase fur access. and a railing that - only emphasizes the height of the new building. Staff recommends HPC require additional study as a condition of approval. The guidelines in question are: 11.3 Construct a new building to appear similar in scale with the historic buildings on the parcel. u Subdivide larger masses into smaller "modules" that are similar in size to the historic buildings on the original site. 11.4 Design a front elevation to be similar in scale to the historic building. The primary plane of the front should not appear taller than the historic structure. The front should include a one-story element, such as a porch. COMMERCIAL DESIGN REVIEW The City has an adopted set of guidelines. "Commercial, Lodging and Historic District Design Objectives" which are in addition to the 1-IPC design guidelines. Development on this site is affected by the chapter that addresses what is known as the "Commercial Character Area." All of the Conceptual level guidelines address setback and height issues that are primarily applicable to a new building along the street frontage. Any additional design guidelines that are applicable to Final will be presented to I IPC at that time. An application for commercial design review may be approved, approved with conditions or denied based on conformance with the following criteria: A. '1 he proposed development meets the requirements ol Section 26.412.060, Commercial design standards, or any deviation from the standards provides a more appealing pattern of development considering the context in which the development is proposed and the purpose 3 0 0 .. of the particular standard. Unique site constraints can justify a deviation from the standards. Compliance with Section 26.412.070, Suggested design elements, is not required but may be used to justify a deviation from the standards. B. For proposed development converting an existing structure to commercial use, the proposed development meets the requirements of Section 26.412.060. Commercial design standards, to the greatest extent practical. Changes to the fagade of the building may be required to comply with this Section. C. The application shall comply with the guidelines within the Commercial, Lodging and Historic I)istrict Design Objectives and Guidelines as determined by the appropriate Commission. The guidelines set forth design review criteria, standards and guidelines that are to be used in making determinations of appropriateness. The City shall determine when a proposal is in compliance with the criteria, standards and guidelines. Although these criteria, standards and guidelines are relatively comprehensive, there may be circumstances where alternative ways of meeting the intent of the policy objectives might be identified. In such a case, the City must determine that the intent of the guideline is still met, albeit through alternative means. Staff Response: The guidelines are attached. Staff finds that the guidelines are met, particularly those that deal with required public amenity space (open space.) The project maintains yard area around these historic buildings. ON-SITE RELOCATION The intent of this Chapter is to preserve designated historic properties in their original locations as much of their significance is embodied in their setting and physical relationship to their surroundings as well as their association with events and people with ties to particular site. Ilowever, it is recognized that occasionally the relocation of a property may be appropriate as it provides an alternative to demolition or because it only has a limited impact on the attributes that make it significant. The following standards apply for relocating a historic property as per Section 26.415.090.C of the Municipal Code: C. Standards for the Relocation of Designated Properties Relocation for a building, structure or object will be approved if it is determined that it meets any one of the following standards: 1. It is considered a non-contributing element of a historic district and its relocation will not affect the character of the historic district; g[ 2. It does not contribute to the overall character of the historic district or parcel on which it is located and its relocation will not have an adverse impact on the historic district or property; or 3. The owner has obtained a Certificate of Economic Hardship; 9.r 4.1'he relocation activity is demonstrated to be an acceptable preservation method given the character and integrity of the building, structure or object and its move will not adversel> affect the integrity of the historic district in which it was 4 .. originally located or diminish the historic, architectural or aesthetic relationships of adjacent designated properties; and Additionally, for approval to relocate all of the following criteria must be met: 1. It has been determined that the building, structure or object is capable of withstanding the physical impacts of relocation; and 2. An appropriate receiving site has been identified; and 3. An acceptable plan has been submitted providing for the safe relocation, repair and preservation of the building, structure or object including the provision of the necessary financial security. Staff Response: The applicant proposes to temporarily lift the historic "Susies" cabin to excavate a basement, then put it back in place. but F closer to Hopkins. Staff recommends that the building maintain the original location. This is one of three Victorians in a row. The historic alignment between the buildings should be respected. Conditions of approval will include a letter of credit to ensure a safe relocation process, along with a plan from the housemover. DEMOLITION It is the intent of this Chapter to preserve the historic and architectural resources that have demonstrated significance to the community. Consequently no demolition of properties designated on the Aspen Inventory of Historic Landmark Site and Structures will be allowed unless approved by the H PC in accordance with the standards set forth in this Section. The LIPC shall review the application. the staff report and hear evidence presented by the properly owners. parties of interest and members of the general public to determine if the standards for demolition approval have been met. Demolition shall be approved if it is demonstrated that the application meets any one of the following criteria: a. The property has been determined by the City to be an imminent hazard to public safety and the owner/applicant is unable to make the needed repairs in a timely manner, b. The structure is not structurally sound despite evidence of the owner's efforts to properly maintain the structure, c. The structure cannot practically be moved to another appropriate location in Aspen or d. No documentation exists to support or demonstrate that the property has historic, architectural. archaeological. engineering or cultural significance and Additionally, for approval to demolish, all of the following criteria must be met: a, The structure does not contribute to the significance of the parcel or historic district in which it is located and b. The loss ofthe building, structure or object would not adversely affect the integrity of the historic district or its historic, architectural or aesthetic relationship to adjacent designated properties and c. Demolition of the structure u ill be inconsequential to the historic preservation needs of the area. 5 .. Staff Response: Staff agrees with the applicant's assessment that there are non-historic additions along the rear of the Susies structure. This is supported by the Sanborne maps and is obvious from visual inspection. These are to be removed. Staff supports demolition of this non- contributing construction jinding that it has no historic significance. The applicant proposes complete demolition of' a building along the alley. The building was constructed in the 1970s and has not been determined to have any historic significance. Staff supports demolition finding that no documentation exists to support or demonstrate that the property has historic, architectural, archaeological, engineering or cultural significance. The building is considered "non-contributing" to the historic significance of the property and area. Staff supports the demolition requests. 0 The Hl'C may: • approve the application, • approve the application with conditions, • disapprove the application, or • continue the application to a date certain to obtain additional information necessary to make a decision to approve or deny. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that HPC grant Conceptual Major Development and Commercial Design Review, Demolition and Relocation as proposed with the following conditions: CD 1. Do not change the location of the 'Susie's" cabin. Provide a $30,000 letter of credit or cashier's check to insure the safe relocation of the building. as well as a plan for protection of the building from a housemover or structural engineer. 2. Continue to study the upper floor of the rear building to reduce footprint and height to the extent possible, liliminate the upper floor deck and access stair. 3. A development application for a Final Development Plan shall be submitted within one (1) year of June 13. 2012, the date of approval of a Conceptual Development Plan. Failure to file such an application within this time period shall render null and void the approval of the Conceptual Development Plan. The 1 listoric Preservation Commission may, at its sole discretion and for good cause shown, grant a one-time extension of the expiration date for a Conceptual Development Plan approval for up to six (6) months provided a written request for extension is received no less than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration date. Exhibits: A. Relevant HPC Guidelines B. Commercial Design Guidelines C. Application 6 .. Exhibit A: Relevant HPC Design Guidelines, Conceptual Review 4 Site the structure in a position similar to its historic orientation. It should face the same direction and have a relatively similar setback. It may not, for example. be moved to the rear of the parcel to accommodate a new building in front of it. 9.6 When rebuilding a foundation, locate the structure at its approximate historic elevation above grade. o Raising the building slightly above its original elevation is acceptable. However, lifting it substantially above the ground level is inappropriate. u Changing the historic elevation is discouraged. unless it can be demonstrated that it enhances the resource. 10.1 Preserve an older addition that has achieved historic significance in its own right. o Such an addition is usually similar in character to the original building in terms of materials, finishes and design. 10.2 A more recent addition that is not historically significant may be removed. 11.1 Orient the primary entrance of a new building to the street. u The building should be arranged parallel to the lot lines, maintaining the traditional grid pattern of the site. 11.3 Construct a new building to appear similar in scale with the historic buildings on the parcel. o Subdivide larger masses into smaller "modules" that are similar in size to the historic buildings on the original site. 11.4 Design a front elevation to be similar in scale to the historic building. o The primary plane of the front should not appear taller than the historic structure. u The front should include a one-story element, such as a porch. 11.5 Use building forms that are similar to those of the historic property. o They should not overwhelm the original in scale. 11.6 Use roof forms that are similar to those seen traditionally in the block. Sloping roofs such as gable and hip roofs are appropriate for primary roof forms. Flat roofs should be used only in areas where it is appropriate to the context. On a residential structure. eave depths should be similar to those seen traditionally in the context. o Exotic building and root forms that would detract from the visual continuity of the street are discouraged. These include geodcsic domes and A-frames. 11.9 Use building components that are similar in size and shape to those of the historic property. --7 009 000 .0 . These include windows, doors and porches. Overall, details should be modest in character. 11.10 The imitation of older historic styles is discouraged. This blurs the distinction between old and new buildings. Highly complex and ornately detailed revival styles that were not a part of Aspen's history are especially discouraged on historic sites. 14.14 Minimize the visual impacts of service areas as seen from the street. o When it is feasible. screen service areas from view5 especially those associated with commercial and multifamily developments. o This includes locations for trash containers and loading dod<s. o Service areas should be accessed off of the alley, if one exists. 14.15 Minimize the visual impacts of mechanical equipment as seen from the public way. o Mechanical equipment inay only be installed on an alley fucade, and only if it does not create a negative visual impact. 1 Mechanical equipment or vents on a roof must be grouped together to minimize their visual impact. Where rooftop units are visible, provide screening with materials that are compatible with those of the buildiiig itself. Screen ground-mounted units with fences, stone walls or hedges. A window air conditioning unit may only be installed on an alley facade, and only if it does not create a negative visual impact. o Use low-profile mechanical units on rooftops so they will not be visible from the street or alley. Also niinimize the visual impacts of utility connections and service boxes. Use smaller satellite dishes and mount them low to the ground and away from front yards, significant building facades or highly visible roof planes. o Paint telecommunications and mechanical equipment in muted colors that will minimize their appearance by blending with their backgrounds. 14.16 Locate standpipes, nieters and other service equipment such that they will not damage historic facade materials. u Cutting channels into historic facade materials damages the historic building fabric and is inappropriate. Do not locate equipment on the front facade. o If a channel must be cut either locate it on a secondary facade, or place it low on the wall. 14.17 Design a new driveway in a manner that minimizes its visual impact. o Plan parking areas and driveways in a manner that utilizes existing curb cuts. New curb cuts are not permitted. u If an alley exists. a new driveway must be located off of it. 14.18 Garages should not dominate the street scene. See Chapter 8.

HAAS LAND PLANNING, LLC June 5,2012 Ms. Amy Guthrie City of Aspen Historic Preservation Officer 130 South Galena Street Aspen, CO 81611 RE: Revised Conceptual Application for 623 East Hopkins, Aspen (Lots F & G, Block 99, City and Townsite of Aspen; PID # 2737-182-12-001; a/kia "Susie's" Property) Dear Amy: Based on the comments received via email on May 31,2012. after your staffmeeting, the applicant has completed several revisions to the proposed plans. A new plan set has been prepared by Oz Architecture for your use and distribution to the HPC. In addition, some explanation of the plans and response to the aforementioned email is provided below. First, to be clear, absolutely no variances are required for this mixed-use project in the C- 1 Zone District. There is no minimum lot area per dwelling unit. no minimum lot width, no setback requirements. and no minimum distance between buildings for this type of development. Additionally, the maximum height of the third-story element on the new construction is proposed to be approximately 31'4 feet tall and only 341/4 feet to the top of the railing on its rooftop deck; the maximum height allowed by-right in this zone district is 36 feet for these three-story elements. In other words, in an effort to be as sensitive as possible to the historic resources and despite the fact that the adjacent townhomes are significantly taller, the proposal is not even using all the height allowed by right on this property. In addition, the proposed two-story elements top out more than four (4) feet below the 28 foot height limit applicable to these portions of the structure. The residential unit will contain 2,487 square feet of net livable area; the applicant will utilize one '1'DR to accommodate this, as allowed by the Code fur the C-1 Zone District. With this net livable unit size, the total proposed Free-Market Residential Floor Area is still just 95.3% of that allowed. Additionally, the overall development not only complies with all applicable FAR limits, but seeks to develop only 37.2% of the 15,000 square feet allowed by-right. Put another way. almost twice as much allowable floor area is being left unused than will be developed in the entire project. Finally, the total free-market residential net livable area proposed (2,487sf) remains less than the total above grade commercial FAR (2,6564 thereby assuring compliance with the Commercial/Residential ratio requirement of the C-1 zone. In total, although the property maintains certain clearly specified development rights by code, less than 38% of the permitted iloor area is proposed for development. Similarly, although no yard area setbacks are required, the applicant has included more than • 201 N. MILL STREET, SUITE 108• ASPEN.COLORADO • 81611 • • (970) 925-781 9 • MITCH@H LPASPEN.COM • .. sufficient setbacks, more public amenity space than necessary and generous distances between the historic structures and the new construction while keeping all construction well below allowable/applicable height limits. Moreover, the proposed designs have increased the setbacks of each Iloor level from the level below so as to better step the height and massing back away from the two historic resources at the front of the property. Although the two historic structures to be preserved and fully restored are only one story in height, the approved and existing development patterns of adjacent properties (i.e., the [3erg property to the east. and the existing townhornes structure to the west) as well as the sensitivities the applicant has clearly incorporated must be kept in mind during the project's review. Furthermore, the application does not request any Floor Area bonuses and, therefore, a fair balancing of applicable HPC Design Guidelines is required. Next, in response to the concerns outlined in your May 31 email, the plans have been revised to make perfectly clear that the basement level of the new structure does not include anything that might possible serve as net leasable commercial space. There is merely a mechanical room in one small section and the remainder of that level is nothing more than crawl space with inadequate head heights to serve any leasable function; no deed restriction will be required as the plans and representation provide more than adequate assurance. However, if a condition of approval stating that these areas cannot be used as net leasable space, the applicant is amenable to such. The second floor commercial/office space in the new structure has been eliminated altogether. The entirety of the second and third floors is within the single residential unit only, and the ground level includes only the garage, common circulation areas and two commercial/office spaces. As such, there should be no concern going forward about any of the commercial spaces being absorbed into the free market residential unit. Like the basement/crawl space level, there will be no need for a deed restriction as the plans and representations provide more than adequate assurance. Similarly. should staff feel a condition of approval is warranted, the applicant will be amendable to a condition outlining that the only approved net leasable space is on the ground level. As correctly pointed out, the most current code provisions distribute the floor area exemption for deck space between the various uses within a mixed use project. With an allowable free market residential FAR of 3,000sf, the available deck exemption is just 450sf and the revised plans reflect and comply with this limitation. While up to 1,350sf of commercial deck space is allowed as exempt FAR, no such space is currently proposed. The third floor massing has been further minimized as suggested. It has been pulled in from the boundaries of the second floor on all sides of the building. The proposed two- story elements top out more than four (4) feet below the 28 foot height limit applicable to these portions of the structure. The third floor has also been minimized in profile to fall well below the allowable height for third story elements in the C-1 zone district. As mentioned above, the maximum height of the third-story element on the new construction Susie's Remodel - 1 IPC Conceptual Addendum Page 2 .. is proposed to be approximately 31!4 feet tall and only 3414 feet to the top of the railing on its rooftop deck; the maximum height allowed by-right in this zone district is 36 feet for these three-story elements. In other words, iii an effort to be as sensitive as possible to the historic resources and despite the fact that the adjacent townhomes are significantly taller, the proposal is not even using all the height allowed by right on this property. In addition, the third floor has been clad in a different and softer material than found on the levels below, which will further decrease its perceived mass and scale. Cues have been taken from the successful massing of the Connor Cabins project. The overall size of the rear building has been decreased substantially and, again, falls well below limits allowed by right in this zone district. The ability to use a TDR to enable more livable area within the free market residence is clearly and objectively provided in the code. More importantly, the use of a TDR has no bearing on the size, mass or scale of the rear building as the TDR merely enables use of the allowable Floor Area within the unit, as livable space, as opposed to the same floor area being wasted on inefficient common areas, hallways. staircases. etc. Please also note that this proposal uses only 95.3% of the allowable free market residential floor area. Finally, the proposed fenestration and exterior building materials have been somewhat revised as well. That said, the applicant is aware that these elements and the details of their design will be further discussed during the Final HPC review process. It is hoped that the information provided herein and in the accompanying plan sets proves helpful in the review and approval ofthis exceptional project and exemplary preservation effort.

The property is legally described as Lots F & G, Block 99, City and Townsite of Aspen (Parcel Identification Number 2737-182-12-001). It is a 6,000 square foot historically designated lot in the Commercial (C-1) Zone District.

MILL STREET, SUITE 108 • ASPEN, COLORADO • 81611 • • (970)925-7819 • MITCH@HLPASPEN.COM • .. In association with the Conceptual Major Development, the applicant is also requesting approvals for partial demolition and temporary on-site relocation of the Miner's cottage that currently houses Susie's consignment shop in order to fully restore its historical appearance and enable development of a new, properly engineered foundation and basement. The historic "Barn" building will be restored in its current location. As mentioned above, the non-historic building set along the alley will be demolished and redeveloped as provided in "The Proposal," below. Existing Conditions The plans set prepared by Oz Architecture and provided herewith include an existing conditions site plan and photographs of existing and historic conditions, along with graphic depictions of all proposed changes. The historic commercial buildings are a Victorian Era Miner's Cottage and an outbuilding ("Barn"), both of which were originally constructed in the 1880s. This property was designated to the Aspen Inventory of Historic Landmark Sites and Structures (the Inventory) in June of 2000. The Architectural Inventory Form describes the main structure as a typical wood-frame Miner's Cottage with a gable-end facing the street, a pair of double hung windows, and a cross-gable parallel to the street with a shed roof porch infilling the corner. It is a single- story structure with wood horizontal siding and original vertically proportioned double hung windows. The porch has simple details and its floor is at grade. Window trim has a triangular pediment over principal windows which appear to be the original windows. The historic entry door is intact. A pair of additions has been made to the rear of the building. There is also a separate two-story structure on the alley that is not historic and will be demolished for redevelopment. The original open metal fence defines the street frontage and a large spruce tree occupies the northwest corner of the property. The original use of the Victorian cottage and the outbuilding was residential; however, these building have long since been converted through adaptive reuse to commercial purposes. The proposed development will continue the commercial use of the two historic buildings at the front of the property, while the new building proposed along the alley will contain both commercial and residential space. As such, it will become a mixed-use property. This is explained in more detail in "The Proposal" section of this application, below. The two historic structures were found to be significant for their position in the context of Aspen's mining era. They are considered to describe the nature of the life of an average family or individual during that period, while being representative of the construction techniques and materials available at the time. The buildings were found to retain the original scale and form, with the window openings largely intact and the character of the buildings retained. The additions in the back, while in scale with the original structures have not themselves been deemed to have achieved historic significance. Susie's Remodel - HPC Conceptual Application Page 2 .. The Proposal As mentioned above, the property is located in the City of Aspen's C-1 Zone District. The proposed changes and development are all clearly and thoroughly depicted on the accompanying plans set prepared by Oz Architecture. Highlights of the proposal are described below in narrative form. The applicant proposes to restore the two historic resources (the Miner's cottage and the barn) to their original appearance (see Plan Sheet H-15). The siding on the Miner's cottage will be restored where feasible and replaced where necessary, while the Barn's siding will be replaced with natural barn siding for an enhanced and more consistent historical appearance. Additionally, as necessary, new gutters and downspouts will be installed on both of these historic buildings. The Barn will receive a new metal roof and an old barn door will be installed to match the original opening. The restoration efforts on the Miner's cottage will also include the removal of two non-historic additions at the rear, the construction of a new raised wood porch, the restoration and replacement of windows to restore original proportions and detailing, and a new wood shingle roof. The Miner's cottage will be temporarily relocated on-site to accommodate construction of properly engineered foundation with a basement. With this, the Miner's cottage is proposed to be relocated five feet, ten inches (5'10") to the north, thereby reducing the setback from Hopkins Avenue (see Plan Sheet H-14). This relocation will increase the prominence of this historic resource from Hopkins Avenue and will increase the distance between the cottage and the new construction behind. The Historic Barn will be restored in its current location, which is slightly further back from Hopkins Avenue than the cottage, as is appropriate for a secondary structure. As previously mentioned, the existing non-historic building on the southern portion of the lot (along the alley) will be demolished and redeveloped with a three-story structure, and when completed, the development will again result in three completely detached structures. No variances are required for this mixed-use project in the C-1 Zone District (see Exhibit 6). There is no minimum lot area per dwelling unit, no minimum lot width, no setback requirements, and no minimum distance between buildings for this type of development. Additionally, the maximum height of the third-story element on the new construction is proposed to be approximately 34!4 feet, where 36 feet is allowed by-right. The residential unit will contain 2,234 square feet of net livable area; the applicant will utilize one TDR to accommodate the 234 square foot increase, as allowed by the Code for the C- 1 Zone District. Additionally, the overall development not only complies with all FAR limits, but seeks to develop less than thirty-nine percent (<39%) of the 15,000 square feet allowed by-right. Finally, the total free-market residential net livable area proposed (2,234sf) is much less than the total above grade commercial FAR (3,165sf), thereby complying with the Commercial/Residential ratio requirement o f the C-1 zone. In total, although the property maintains certain clearly specified development rights by code, less than 39% of the permitted floor area is proposed for development. Similarly, Susie's Remodel - HPC Conceptual Application Page 3 .. although no yard area setbacks are required, the applicant has included more than sufficient setbacks, more public amenity space than necessary and generous distances between the historic structures and the new construction while keeping all construction below allowable height limits. Although the two historic structures to be preserved and fully restored are only one story in height, the approved an existing development patterns of adjacent properties as well as the sensitivities the applicant has clearly incorporated must be kept in mind during the project's review. Furthermore, the application does not request any Floor Area bonuses and, therefore, a fair balancing of applicable HPC Design Guidelines is required. Next, the development complies with the Public Amenity Space requirements of Section 26.575.030 and the Utility/Trash/Recycle Service Area required by Code Section 26.575.060. Although the Public Amenity Space requirement in the C-1 Zone District is twenty-five percent (25%), since this is a redevelopment of a parcel that currently contains only 23% of public amenity space, the effective requirement is reduced to 23%. Nevertheless, the proposed redevelopment actually increases the amount of public amenity space to approximately 25% (see Plan Sheet H-3). The utility/trash/recycle service area is located along the alley frontage and, with the included access into and through it, meets all required dimensions and design standards. This development requires efforts to restore historic integrity and return the resources to their true historic appearance. As mentioned above, the restoration efforts to be undertaken include: • Removal of two non-historic additions from the rear of the Miner's cottage. • Development of a properly engineered foundation below the Miner's cottage. • The corner of the Miner's cottage where the smaller addition is being removed will be restored to its original appearance with new siding and a new window to match existing historic windows. • The siding on the Miner's cottage will be restored where feasible and replaced where necessary, in kind. • The siding on the Barn will be replaced with natural barn siding for a more historically consistent appearance. • An old barn door will be installed on the Barn to match the original opening. • A new metal roof will be installed on the Barn, while a new wood shingle roof will replace the existing roof on the Miner's cottage. • The gutters and downspouts will be replaced on both structures. • There will be a new raised wood porch in the same location as the existing porch on the Miner's cottage. • Finally, windows on the Miner's cottage will be restored to their original proportions and detailing. Susie's Remodel - HPC Conceptual Application Page 4 .. Review Requirements Given the above-described proposal and accompanying plans set, approvals are needed for Conceptual Major Development, On-Site Relocation and (Partial) Demolition. Conceptual Development Plan, Section 26.415.070(D)(3) & The HPC Conceptual Design Standards Conceptual Review focuses on the height, scale, massing, site plan and proportions of a proposal. Conceptual Development Plan approval is required for the development proposed by this application. The only applicable review standard for Conceptual Review is a determination of consistency with the City of Aspen Historic Preservation Design Guidelines (hereinafter "the Guidelines"). The applicant is not requesting any Floor Area bonuses. Accordingly, the following portion of this application demonstrates adequate consistency with a sufficient number of relevant guidelines, as called for in the italicized print on the very first page of the Guidelines, which specifically state that, ...not every guideline will apply to each project, and some balancing of the guidelines must occur on a case-by-case basis. The HPC must determine that a significant number of relevant guidelines have been adequately met in order to approve a project proposal. Chapters 1 through 10 of the Historic Preservation Design Guidelines (the HP Guidelines) are applicable to the proposed development as they refer to the renovation of Historic Structures. Chapter 11 provides guidelines for new buildings on Landmark Properties and is likewise relevant to this development. Since Chapter 12 is concerned with design in the Main Street Historic District and Chapter 13 concerns designs in the Commercial Core Historic District; thus, Chapters 12 and 13 do not apply to this proposal. The project has been designed to be generally consistent with the guidelines of Chapter 14, but specific consistency with these requirements will be demonstrated as part ofthe HPC's Final review. The relevant guidelines from Chapters 1 through 11 are outlined below in bold italicized text and each is followed by a response demonstrating compliance and/or consistency therewith, as applicable. Fences 1.1 Preserve Original Fences. 1.2 A new replacement fence should use materials that appear similar to that of the original. 1.3 A new replacement fence should have a "transparent" quality allowing views into the yard from the street. 1.4 New fence components should be similar in scale with those seen traditionally. 1.5 A side yard fence which extends between two homes should be set back from the street facing faqIde. Susie's Remodel - HPC Conceptual Application Page 5 .. 1.6 Replacement or new fencing between side yards and along the alley should be compatible with the historic content. The original fence defining the Hopkins Avenue frontage will be preserved. No replacement fences are proposed. Guidelines 1.7 and 1.8 are not applicable to this development as there are no original retaining walls. Walkways 1.9 Maintain the established progression of public-to-private spaces when considering a rehabilitation project. The established progression of public to private space will be maintained with the proposed development. The public sidewalk will continue to connect to semi-public walkways to and between the two historic buildings, leading to the new building on the alley, and will end in private commercial and residential spaces. The Miner's cottage is proposed to be relocated five feet, 10 inches to the north (towards Hopkins Avenue), which will enhance the visibility of the cottage and create more space between this historic resource and the new construction. Private Yard 1.10 Preserve historic elements of the yard to provide an appropriate context for historic structures. 1.11 Preserve and maintain mature landscaping on site, particularly landmark trees and shrubs. 1.12 Preserve and maintain historically significant planting designs. 1.13 Revisions or additions to the landscape should be consistent with the historic context of the site. 1.14 Additions to the landscape that could interfere with historic structures area inappropriate. The large spruce tree at the northwest corner of the property will be preserved. Site Lighting 1.15 Minimize the visual impacts of site lighting. • Site lighting should be shielded to avoid glare onto adjacent properties. Focus lighting on walks and entries, rather than up into trees and ontofacade planes. This standard is understood by the applicant and will be addressed at Final HPC Review. Streetscape 1.16 Preserve historically significant landscape and design features. 1.17 Maintain historic irrigation ditches as an integral component of the streetscape. Susie's Remodel - HPC Conceptual Application Page 6 .. All significant landscape designs and features in the public right-of-way will be preserved. 2.1 Preserve original building materials. 2.2 Protect wood features from deterioration. 2.3 Plan repainting carefully. 2.4 Brick or stone that was not painted historically should not be painted. 2.5 Repair deteriorated primary building materials by patching, piecing-in, consolidating or otherwise reinforcing the material. 2.6 Maintain masonry walls in good condition. 2.7 Match the original material in composition, scale and finish when replacing materials on primary surfaces. 2.8 Do not use synthetic materials as replacements for primary building materials. Original building materials will be preserved to the extent practicable. The siding on the Miner's cottage will be restored where feasible and replaced where necessary. The Barn siding will be replaced with natural barn siding which will enhance the Barn's historical appearance. As appropriate, this standard will be more fully addressed at Final HPC Review. 2.9 Covering original building materials with new materials is inappropriate. 2.10 Consider removing later covering materials that have not achieved historic significance. The proposal does not include/involve the covering of original building materials. The siding on the Barn is not original and will be removed and replaced with more appropriate materials. The siding on the Miner's cottage will be preserved to the extent practicable, but replaced in-kind where necessary, and painted. 3.1 Preserve the functional and decorative features of a historic window. 3.2 Preserve the position, number and arrangement of historic windows in a building wall. 3.3 Preserve the historic ratio of window openings to solid wall on a facade. 3.4 Match a replacement window to the original in its design. 3.5 In a replacement window, use materials that appear similar to the original. 3.6 Preserve the size and proportion of a historic window opening. 3.7 Match, as closely as possible, the profile of the sash and its components to that of the original window. 3.8 Use a storm window to enhance energy conservation rather than to replace a historic window. Although this standard will be more specifically addressed at the time of Final HPC Review, the removal of two small, non-historic additions to the Miner's cottage will also entail the restoration of since lost windows to their original proportions and locations. Susie's Remodel - HPC Conceptual Application Page 7 .. One window will be added to the back of the building and will match existing historic windows. 4.1 Preserve historically significant doors. 4.2 Maintain the original size of a door and its opening. 4.3 When a historic door is damaged, repair it and maintain its general historic appearance. 4.4 If a new screen door is used, it should be in character with the primary door. 4.5 When replacing a door, use a design that has an appearance similar to the original door or a door associated with the style of the house. 4.6 If energy conservation and heat loss are concerns, consider using a storm door instead of replacing a historic entry door. Although this standard will be more specifically addressed at the time of Final HPC Review, all historically significant doors will be preserved. However, the unoriginal door and bay window on the Barn will be removed and replaced with an old barn door that will match the original opening. Treatment of Porches 5.1 Preserve an original porch. 5.2 Avoid removing or covering historic materials und details on a porch. 5.3 Avoid enclosing a historic front porch. 5.4 The use of a porch on a residential building in a single-family context is strongly encouraged. Porch Replacement 5.5 If porch replacement is necessary, reconstruct it to match the original inform and detail. The existing porch on the Miner's cottage will be replaced to match the original in form and detail. Treatment of Architectural Features 6.1 Preserve signijicant architectural features. 6.2 When disassembly of a historic element is necessary for its restoration, use methods that minimize damage to the original material. 6.3 Remove only the portion of the detail that is deteriorated and must be replaced. 6.4 Repair or replacement Of missing or deteriorated features should be based on original designs. 6.5 Do not guess at "historic" designs for replacement parts. 6.6 Replacement of missing elements may be included in repair activities. All significant architectural features will be restored and/or preserved, as applicable. Treatment of Roofs 7.1 Preserve the original form of a roof. Susie's Remodel - HPC Conceptual Application Page 8 .. 7.2 Preserve the original eave depth. 7.3 Minimize the visual impacts ofskylights and other rooftop devices. The original roof form and the original eave depth will be preserved. No skylights are proposed for this development. The Miner's cottage will receive a new wood shingle roof, while a new metal roof will be installed on the Barn as part of the restoration efforts. 7.4 A new chimney should be the same scale as those used historically. 7.5 Preserve original chimneys, even if they are made non-functional. 7.6 When planning a rooftop addition, preserve the overall appearance of the original roof· The existing building does not have a chimney and no chimney is proposed in the renovation. No rooftop addition is planned. 7.7 A new dormer should remain subordinate to the historic roof in scale and character. There are no new dormers proposed for the historic buildings. 7.8 Preserve original roof materials. Original roof materials will be preserved to the extent practicable, although new metal roofing is proposed for the Barn, while a new wood shingle roof will replace the existing roof on the Miner's cottage. 7.9 New or replacement roof materials should convey a scale, color and texture similar to those used traditionally. 7.10 If it is to be used, a metal roof should be applied and detailed in a manner that is compatible and does not detract from the historic appearance of the building. 7.11 Avoid using conjectural features on a roof. The replacement roof materials will convey a scale, color and texture similar to those used traditionally. There will be no conjectural features on or added to the roof. Secondary Structures 8.1 If an existing secondary structure is historically significant, then it must be preserved. 8.2 U an existing secondary structure is beyond repair, then replacing it is encouraged The existing outbuilding (barn) next to the cottage has already been deemed historically significant and will be preserved. The building on the alley is not historic and will be demolished and replaced with a new mixed-use building. Susie's Remodel - HPC Conceptual Application Page 9 .. 8.3 Avoid attaching a garage or carport to the primary structure. 8.4 A garage door should be compatible with the character of the historic structure. No garage or carport is proposed for the primary historic cottage or barn. A garage is proposed on the alley side of the new building. 8.5 Avoid moving a historic secondary structure from its original location, The historic secondary structure (barn) will remain in its current location. Preserving Building Locations and Foundations 9.1 Proposals to relocate a building will be considered on a case-by-case basis. 9.2 Moving an existing building that contributes to the character of a historic district should be avoided. 9.3 If relocation is deemed appropriate by the HPC, a structure must remain within the boundaries Of its historic parcel. 9.4 Site the structure in a position similar to its historic orientation. 9.5 A new foundation should appear similar in design and materials to the historic foundation. 9.6 When rebuilding a foundation, locate the structure at its approximate historic elevation above grade. 9.7 A lightwell may be used to permit light into below-grade living space. The Miner's cottage will be moved temporarily to allow for construction of a proper foundation and basement. The new foundation will be properly engineered and appear similar in design and materials to the historic foundation; the cottage will remain at its historic elevation above grade. The Miner's cottage is being relocated approximately five feet, ten inches to the north (towards Hopkins Avenue) which will increase the prominence of this historic structure and create a greater distance between the cottage and the new construction. Two light wells will be installed in the basement on the barely-visible west side ofthe cottage. 10.1 Preserve an older addition that has achieved historic significance in its own right. 10.2 A more recent addition that is not historically significant may be removed. There are two non-historically significant additions on the rear of the cottage and these will be removed. The cottage will then be restored to its original appearance. 10.3 Design a new addition such that one's ability to interpret the historic character of the primary building is maintained. 10.4 Design a new addition to be recognized as a product of its own time. 10.5 When planning an addition to a building in a historic district, preserve historic alignments that may exist on the street. 10.6 Design an addition to be compatible in size and scale with the main building. Susie's Remodel - HPC Conceptual Application Page 10 .. 10.7 If it is necessary to design an addition that is taller than a historic building, set it back substantially from significant facades and use a "connector" to link it to the historic building. 10.8 Place an addition at the rear of a building or set it back from the front to minimize the visual impact on the historic structure and to allow the original proportions and character to remain prominent. 10.9 Roofforms should be similar to those of the historic building. 10.10 Design an addition to a historic structure such that it will not destroy or obscure historically important architectural features. 10.11 On a new addition, use exterior materials that are compatible with the historic materials of the primary building. 10.12 When constructing a rooftop addition, keep the mass and scale subordinate to that of a historic building. 10.13 Set a rooftop addition back from the front of the building. 10.14 The roof form and slope of a new addition should be in character with the historic building. The only "addition" to the historic structure involves the new foundation and basement, neither of which will be visible. As such, the above cited criteria from Chapter 10 of the Guidelines are not applicable to the proposed development. Chapter 11 provides the guidelines for new buildings on landmarked properties. Said chapter states that when new building occurs on a historic property, it should reinforce the basic visual characteristics of the site. Imitating historic styles is generally discouraged. The Guidelines explain that "rather than imitating older buildings, a new design should relate to the fundamental characteristics of the historic resources while also conveying the stylistic trends of today." The specific guidelines of Chapter 11 are addressed below. 11.1 Orient the primary entrance of a new building to the street. The primary entrance of the new building is oriented toward the street, but it is set behind the historic structures and the building resides along the alley frontage. 11.2 In a residential context, clearly define the primary entrance to a new building by using a front porch. The new building is a mixed-use building and does not have a front porch, but its primary entrance is clearly defined by a walkway/path from the sidewalk. 11.3 Construct a new building to appear similar in scale with the historic buildings on the parcel. Although taller than the historic structures, the new building is set significantly back from the historic structures along the sidewalk. The new building is in scale with the Susie's Remodel - HPC Conceptual Application Page 11 .. adjacent portion of the building recently approved on the next door Berg property, the adjacent townhomes to the west, the restored and remodeled Crandall Building on the other side of the alley, and the Tamarawood building located directly across the alley from the subject site. Additionally, the upper floor of the new building steps back, away from the resources. The new structure is similar in scale and massing to the existing structures on the west and south sides as well as the approved structure (to be built this summer, 2012) on the east side. 11.4 Design a front elevation to be similar in scale to the historic building. 11.5 Use building forms that are similar to those of the historic property. 11.6 Use roofforms that are similar to those seen traditionally in the block. 11.7 Roof materials should appear similar in scale and texture to those used traditionally. Given the zoning of the parcel (C-1), it would not be reasonable or desirable to expect that the design of the front elevation of the new building would be similar in scale or form to the historic buildings. However, the new building is in scale and of similar form to the recently approved addition to the Berg property next door and the multi-family structure to the west, as well as the remodeled Crandall building and the building directly across the alley. The roof form of the new building will be similar to other, non-historic buildings on the block. It would not be appropriate for the roof form or materials to be similar in scale and texture to the historic buildings as this building will feature a predominantly flat roof; a pitched roof would produce inappropriate form, massing and scale. 11.8 Use building materials that contribute to a traditional sense of human scale. 11.9 Use building components that are similar in size and shape to those of the historic property. Again, given the C-1 zoning of the parcel, it would not be appropriate for the new building to use building components that are similar in size and shape to the historic resources. Nevertheless, the proposed development on the property breaks down the massing of the new building by using modules and varied building materials. The upper floor of the new building steps back from the levels below so as to better inflect toward the resources. As mentioned above, the new building will be in scale with the new addition approved for the adjacent Berg property and the existing townhomes to the west, as well the buildings across the alley. 11.10 The imitation of older historic styles is discouraged. • This blurs the distinction between old and new buildings. • Highly complex and ornately detailed revival styles that were not part of Aspen's history are especially discouraged on historic sites. The new building is clearly distinguishable from the historic buildings, but is visually compatible with the approved development on the adjacent lot. The new building is set Susie's Remodel - HPC Conceptual Application Page 12 .. ten (10) feet back from the Miner's cottage and ten feet four inches (10'- 4") from the Barn building, and its third floor is set ten (10) feet back from its lower levels on the front/street side. The new building proposes to use different but compatible materials from the historic buildings and its contemporary design will complement the historic buildings while clearly being a product of its own time. As mentioned above, the Guidelines of Chapter 14 are more directly applicable to Final Review than they are to Conceptual Review. Nevertheless, the project is and will be found consistent with Chapter 14's general guidelines addressing such topics as accessibility, color, lighting, on-going maintenance, and treatment of mechanical equipment, service areas, driveways and parking; the elements of the proposal relative to many of these features are depicted on the accompanying plan sets. In summary, the foregoing has amply demonstrated an exceedingly high level of consistency with more than a "sutticient number of relevant guidelines." The proposal does not include a floor area bonus request. To the degree that any inconsistency with the Guidelines exists at all, such inconsistency is primarily the result of conflicting guidelines and the required balancing of goals. The proposed development maximizes the potential for consistency with the Guidelines. Conceptual Commercial Design Review The Commercial, Lodging and Historic District Design Objectives and Guidelines (the "Commercial Guidelines") set forth design review criteria, standards and guidelines that are to be used in making determinations of appropriateness. They are organized to address the different design contexts that exist in the City. These distinct settings are defined as "Character Areas," within which variations exist among the physical features that define each area. The subject site is located in the Commercial Character Area, one block east of the Commercial Core. Per the Commercial Character Area Guidelines, all development projects should achieve the following design objectives: • Promote an interconnected circulation system that invites pedestrian use, including a continuous street and alley system and a respect for the natural topography; • Promote a system of public places that support activities, including public amenity spaces, compatible landscaping and paving, and unobtrusive off-street parking; and • Assure that buildings fit together to create a vibrant street edge that reinforces a sense of appropriate scale. The Commercial Zone District correlates with the Commercial Character Area and forms the immediate fringe of much of the Commercial Core Historic District (CC). Building heights and materials in this zone vary. Storefront design and display is a less dominant Susie's Remodel - HPC Conceptual Application Page 13 .. characteristic than in the CC area, and this intentionally diminishes the pedestrian experience in some places as compared with the core. The street wall is less defined than in the CC, and building facades are sometimes set back or include front yard space, which weakens the edge. The purpose of the Commercial (C-1) zone district is enumerated in Section 26.710.150(A) as follows: ,,,to provide for the establishment of mixed-use buildings with commercial uses on the ground floor, opportunities for affordable and free-market residential density. A transition between the CC and surrounding residential neighborhoods has been implemented through a slight reduction in allowable floor area as compared to the Commercial Core, the ability to occupy the Ground Floor with offices, and a separate Chapter in the Commercial Design Guidelines. [Emphasis addedl As provided in the above-cited, codified "Purpose" statement, by complying with the zoning and associated dimensional requirements, this proposal has already succeeded in transitioning from the CC to the surrounding residential neighborhood. Moreover, this proposal leaves more than 9,000 square feet of FAR on the table/unused and the new building is below the thirty-six foot height limit for third story elements. The key design objectives in the Commercial Character Area are as follows: 1. Strengthen the sense ofrelatedness with the Commercial Core Historic District. Strengthening the definition of the street edge in a manner similar to the Commercial Core is desired. At the same time, the Commercial Area is a place where more variety in design is encouraged. Imitating historic styles is not an objective, but re- establishing a sense of a stronger fundamental framework will enhance the urban qualities of this area and is a priority, 2. Maintain a retail orientation. Greater retail presence at the street edge should be achieved to ensure an enhanced street vitality and an enriched and more urban definition of the commercial street frontage. 3. Promote creative, contemporary design. Designs should seek creative new solutions that convey the community's continuing interest in exploring innovations. At the same time, the fundamental principles of traditional design must be respected. This means that each project should strike a balance in the design variables that are presented in the following pages. 4. Encourage a well-defined street wall. The intent is to more clearly establish a strongly defined street wall, but with some greater variety than in the Commercial Core Historic District since the historic building edge is not as defined. A stronger streetfagade definition should be achieved while at the same time recognizing the value ofpublic dining and landscaped space. Susie's Remodel - HPC Conceptual Application Page 14 .. 5. Rellect the variety in building heights seen traditionally. It is important that a range and variation in building height and scale in the Commercial Area be recognized in future development. Larger buildings should be varied in height and reflect original lot widths. 6. Accommodate outdoor public spaces while establishing a clear definition to the street edge. Providing space in association with individual buildings remains important, but should be balanced with much greater building street presence and corner definition. 7. Promote variety in the street level experience. Display cases, architectural details and landscaping are among the design elements that should be used. The historic Miner's cottage will move five feet, ten inches closer to Hopkins Avenue, thereby increasing its prominence from the street, as well as increasing its distance from the new construction. The barn will maintain its current distance from and orientation toward the street edge and will be slightly further from the street than the cottage, as is appropriate for a historic secondary structure. The new construction's unique and innovative design will also enhance the street vitality. The proposed renovation restores the original design and integrity of the historic buildings while simultaneously infusing behind the resources an innovative contemporary building that will clearly be viewed as a product of its own time. The new building recognizes the importance of having varied building heights in the Commercial Character Area and reflects this goal relative to structures on surrounding properties. Outlined below is each of the Commercial Character Area's Conceptual Review Design Guidelines in italicized print, followed by a description of the proposal's compliance and/or consistency therewith, as applicable. 1.1 Orient a primary entrance toward the street. • A building should have a clearly defined primary entrance. • Providing secondary public entrances to commercial spaces is also encouraged on larger buildings. The buildings are on a 6,000 square foot lot and each of the historic buildings will continue to have a clearly defined primary entrance on Hopkins Avenue, recessed from the street edge. The new building, which is situated behind the historic buildings, will also have a clearly defined primary entrance. All front entrances are clearly defined by walking path access as well. 1.2 Maintain the established town grid in all projects. • The network of streets and alleys should be retained as public circulation space andfor maximum public access. Susie's Remodel - HPC Conceptual Application Page 15 .. • Streets and alleys should not be enclosed or closed to public access, and should remain open to the sky. All streets and alleys will be retained and will provide maximum public access. No streets or alleys will be enclosed or closed to public access. Internal Walkways 1.3 Public walkways and through courts should be designed to create access to additional commercial space. The public walkway and through court will remain similar to what currently exists in order to access the new mixed-use building that will sit behind the two historic resources. The relocation of the Miner's cottage five feet, ten inches closer to Hopkins Avenue will help to visually accentuate this resource. 1.4 Develop an alley faqade to create visual interest. Materials and massing variation are used creatively yet practically along the alley side to enhance visual interest and reduce the perceived scale of the building. The new building also employs a third-story setback along the alley 1.5 The visual impacts of structured parking should be minimized. The access shall be: · Located on an alley when feasible or a secondary street, designed with the same attention to detail and materials as the primary building fagade, and integrated into the building design. 1.6 Structured parking should be placed within a 'wrap' of commercial and/or residential uses. There is currently no off-street parking on the site. The proposed development includes a two-car garage in the new building that will be accessed from the alley. One of the garage spaces will serve the residence while the other will be dedicated to commercial use. Public Amenity Space 1.7 A street-facing amenity space shall meet all of the following requirements: • Abut the public sidewalk • Be level with the sidewalk • Be open to the sky • Be directly accessible to the public • Be paved or otherwise landscaped 1.8 A street-facing public amenity space shall remain subordinate to the line of building fronts in the Commercial Area. 1.9 Street facing amenity space shall contain features to promote and enhance its use. These may include one or more of the following: · Street furniture • Public art Susie's Remodel - HPC Conceptual Application Page 16 .. • Historical/interpretive marker The site currently maintains approximately 23% public amenity space. The proposed development will increase this space to approximately 25% and this space will continue to abut the public sidewalk. The public amenity space will be level with the sidewalk, open to the sky, directly accessible to the public and will be paved and/or landscaped. The pedestrian amenity space is being enhanced by adding some public amenity space along the west side of the property (see Plan Sheet H-3). 1.18 Maintain the alignment offacades at the sidewalk's edge. • Place as much of thefacade ofthe building at the property line as possible. • A minimum of 60% ofthefront fagade shall be at the property line. • Locating an entire building front behind the established storefront line is inappropriate. 1.19 A building may be set back from its side lot lines in accordance with design guidelines identified in Street & Alley System and Public Amenity Space guidelines. The historic Miner's cottage will be relocated approximately five feet, ten inches closer to Hopkins Avenue, thereby placing the front fagade closer to the property line. The historic Barn will remain in its current location. The prominence of the cottage will be enhanced by the relocation as it will be closer to the sidewalk edge and will be slightly in front of the secondary structure (the Barn). 1.20 Building fa,ades shall be parallel to the facing street(s) and primary entrances shall be oriented toward the street. 1.21 Orient a new building to be parallel to its lot lines, similar to that of traditional building orientations. • The front of a primary structure shall be oriented to the street. The facades of the existing buildings and the proposed new building are all parallel to the street and their primary entrances are oriented toward and parallel with the street. 1.22 Building faqade height shall be varied from the fa¢ade height of adjacent buildings of the same number of stories by a minimum Of 2 feet. . If an existing structure is three stories and 38 ft. tall for example, then adjacent new infill may be three stories, but must vary infa,ade height by a minimum Of 2 ft 1.23 A new building or addition should reflect the range and variation in building height of the Commercial Area. · Refer to the zone district regulations to determine the maximum height on the subject property. • A minimum 9 ft. floor to ceiling height is to be maintained on second stories and higher. The maximum height in the C1 zone district is established at twenty-eight feet for two- story elements and thirty-six (36) feet for three-story elements of a building, which may be increased to forty (40) feet through Commercial Design Review. The proposed three- story building has a maximum height of 34'-6", thereby complying with the height limit. Susie's Remodel - HPC Conceptual Application Page 17 .. The Berg residence is on the lot next door to the east. The proposed building on the alley is one story taller than the approved addition on the Berg property, but only slightly taller than the Crandall building on the other side of the alley. The structure to the west of the subject property is an approximately 10,000 square foot, 214-story multi-family townhome building; this building is immediately adjacent to the historic Miner's cottage. The proposed new building will be somewhat taller than this adjacent building, but as mentioned throughout this application, will be located along the alley. As such, the proposed new building varies in height from adjacent buildings by more than the prescribed two (2) feet but not so dramatically that compatibility is compromised. 1.24 Height variation should be achieved using one or more ofthefollowing: • Vary the building height in accordance with traditional lot width. • Set back the upper floor to vary the buildingfagade profile(s) and the roofforms across the width and the depth of the building. • Vary the fa,ade (or parapet) heights at theftont. • Step down the rear of the building towards the alley, in conjunction with other design standards and guidelines. This proposal envisions a separate three-story structure which is set ten feet (10') back from the historic Miner's cottage, ten feet four inches (10' - 4") from the Barn structure, and more than 50 feet from the front property line. Additionally, the upper floor steps back from the levels below so as to recede and provide visual relief. The creative use of exterior materials on the new building also assist in reducing its perceived scale while breaking down its massing. 1.25 On sites comprising more than two traditional lot widths, the fa¢ade height shall be varied to reflect traditional lot width. 1.26 Buildings on sites comprising more than two traditional lot widths shall achieve a minimum of two of the following: Since this site is comprised of only two traditional lot widths these standards are not applicable. 1.27 A new building should step down in scale to respect the height, form and scale of a historic building within its immediate setting. 1.28 New development adjacent to a single story historic building that was originally constructed for residential use shall not exceed 28 ft. in height within 30 ft. of the side property line adjacent to the historic structure within the same block face. Although the adjacent Berg property contains a single story historic residence, the two historic resources on the subject property (the Miner's cottage and Barn) are also single story structures. The new development proposed in this application will be behind the two historic resources on the subject property and will be adjacent to the new two-story building addition that was approved along the alley for the Berg property. Susie's Remodel - HPC Conceptual Application Page 18 .. Demolition, Section 26.415.080(A)(4) Section 26.415.080(A)(4) of the Code provides that the HPC shall review the application, staff report and hear evidence presented by the property owners, parties of interest and members of the general public to determine i f the standards for demolition approval have been met. Demolition shall be approved if it is demonstrated that the application meets any one ofthe following criteria: a. The property has been determined by the City to be an imminent hazard to public safety and the owner/applicant is unable to make the needed repairs in a timely manner, b. The structure is not structurally sound despite evidence of the owner's efforts to properly maintain the structure, c. The structure cannot practically be moved to another appropriate location in Aspen or d. No documentation exists to support or demonstrate that the property has historic, architectural, archaeological, engineering or cultural significance, and Additionally, for approval to demolish, atl of the following criteria must be met: a. The structure does not contribute to the significance of the parcel or historic district in which it is located, and b. The loss of the building, structure or object would not adversely affect the integrity of the historic district or its historic, architectural or aesthetic relationship to adjacent designated properties and c. Demolition of the structure will be inconsequential to the historic preservation needs of the area. The building on the alley that is proposed to be demolished cannot practically be moved to another location in Aspen. Furthermore, it maintains no historic significance, thus, such an effort would be unnecessary. Additionally, since it does not contribute to the historic significance of the parcel, the loss of this structure will not adversely affect the adjacent designated property (Berg) and demolition of the structure will be inconsequential to the historic preservation needs of the area. With regard to the historic structures, the applicant proposes demolition of only the non- historic and inappropriate additions and alterations to the rear of the Miner' s cottage. There is no documentation to support or demonstrate that the building portions to be demolished have historic, architectural, archaeological, engineering or cultural significance. Susie's Remodel - HPC Conceptual Application Page 19 .. The additions and the non-historic elements of the historic Miner's collage do not contribute to the significance of the parcel, and the loss of these structures (or portions thereof) will not adversely affect the integrity of either the resource or its relationship to adjacent designated properties. The overall historic integrity and resource value of the property will be greatly enhanced by development o f the proposed plans. On-Site Relocation, Section 26.415.090(C) The intent of Chapter 26.415 is to preserve designated historic properties in their original locations as much of their significance is embodied in their setting and physical relationship to their surroundings as well as their association with events and people with ties to particular site. However, it is recognized that occasionally the relocation of a property may be appropriate as it provides an alternative to demolition or because it only has a limited impact on the attributes that make it significant, as is the case here. Section 26.415.090(C) of the Code provides the standards for the relocation of designated properties and states that, Relocation for a building, structure or object will be approved if it is determined that it meets any one of the following standards: 1. It is considered a noncontributing element of a historic district and its relocation will not affect the character of the historic district, or 2. It does not contribute to the overall character of the historic district or parcel on which it is located and its relocation will not have an adverse impact on the Historic District or property; or 3. The owner has obtained a certificate of economic hardship: or 4. The relocation activity is demonstrated to be an acceptable preservation method given the character and integrity of the building, structure or object and its move will not adversely affect the integrity of the Historic District in which it was originally located or diminish the historic, architectural or aesthetic relationships of adjacent designated properties; and Additionally, for approval to relocate all of the following criteria must be niet: 1. It has been determined that the building, structure or object is capable of withstanding the physical impacts of relocation; 2. An appropriate receiving site has been identified: and 3. An acceptable plan has been submitted providing for the safe relocation, repair and preservation of the building, structure or object including the provision of the necessaryfinancial security. Please refer to Plan Sheet H-14 for a graphic depiction of the proposed on-site relocation. The applicant proposes only on-site and temporary relocation of the historic Miner's cottage in order to develop a proper foundation and basement space. Once the foundation Susie's Remodel - HPC Conceptual Application Page 20 .. and basement are completed the cabin will be relocated approximately five feet, ten inches (5'10") to the north (towards Hopkins Avenue). This relocation will help to enhance the visibility of this historic resource, while also increasing the distance between the resource and the new construction. The ability to develop basement space provides the main incentive to undertaking the cost and endeavor of stabilizing, and relocating the structure which needs a new foundation anyway. Given the foregoing, it is fair to say that the relocation activity provides an acceptable preservation method given the character and integrity of the building. In fact, the relocation activity and ability to place usable basement space below the Miner's cottage provides an incentive for restoration and preservation. The move will not adversely affect the integrity of the historic district or diminish the historic, architectural or aesthetic relationships of adjacent designated properties. The structure will be properly supported prior to any relocation activity. A letter from a building relocation expert will be provided with the Final HPC application to substantiate that the structure is capable of withstanding the physical impacts of the proposed relocation. Finally, a plan for safe relocation, repair and preservation of the buildings, along with provision of the necessary financial security will be provided with the Final HPC application and/or building permit application, as required. It is hoped that the information provided herein and in the accompanying plan sets proves helpful in the review and approval ofthis exceptional project and exemplary preservation effort.

In association with the Conceptual Major Development, the applicant is also requesting approvals for partial demolition and temporary on-site relocation of the Miner' s cottage that currently houses Susie's consignment shop in order to fully restore its historical appearance and enable development of a new, properly engineered foundation and basement. The historic "Barn" building will be restored in its current location. As mentioned above, the non-historic building set along the alley will be demolished and redeveloped as provided in "The Proposal," below. Existing Conditions The plans set prepared by Oz Architecture and provided herewith include an existing conditions site plan and photographs of existing conditions, along with graphic depictions of all proposed changes. The historic commercial buildings are a Victorian Era Miner's Cottage and an outbuilding ("Barn"), both of which were originally constructed in the 1880s. This property was designated to the Aspen Inventory of Historic Landmark Sites and Structures (the Inventory) in June of 2000. The Architectural Inventory Form describes the main structure as a typical wood-frame Miner' s Cottage with a gable-end facing the street, a pair of double hung windows, and a cross-gable parallel to the street with a shed roof porch infilling the corner. It is a single-story structure with wood horizontal siding and original vertically proportioned double hung windows. The porch has simple details and its floor is at grade. Window trim has a triangular pediment over principal windows which appear to be the original windows. The historic entry door is intact. A pair of additions has been made to the rear of the building. There is also a separate two-story structure on the alley that is not historic and will be demolished for redevelopment. The original open metal fence defines the street frontage and a large spruce tree occupies the northwest corner of the property. The original use of the Victorian cottage and the outbuilding was residential; however, these building have long since been converted through adaptive reuse to commercial purposes. The proposed development will continue the commercial use of the two historic buildings at the front of the property, while the new building proposed along the alley will contain both commercial and residential space. As such, it will become a mixed-use property. This is explained in more detail in "The Proposal" section of this application, below. The two historic structures were found to be significant for their position in the context of Aspen' s mining era. They are considered to describe the nature of the life of an average family or individual during that period, while being representative of the construction techniques and materials available at the time. The buildings were found to retain the original scale and form, with the window openings intact and the character of the buildings retained. The additions in the back, while in scale with the original structures, have not themselves deemed to have achieved historic significance. Susie's Remodel - HPC Conceptual Application Page 2 .. The Proposal As mentioned above, the property is located in the City of Aspen's C-1 Zone District. The proposed changes and development are all clearly and thoroughly depicted on the accompanying plans set prepared by Oz Architecture. Highlights of the proposal are described below in narrative form. The applicant proposes to restore the two historic resources (the Miner's cottage and the barn) to their original appearance (see Plan Sheet H-15). Both structures will have their siding replaced with natural barn siding for an enhanced and more consistent historical appearance. Additionally, as necessary, new gutters and downspouts and new metal roofs will be installed on both of these historic buildings. The restoration efforts on the Miner' s cottage will also include the removal of two non-historic additions at the rear, the construction of a new raised wood porch, and the restoration and replacement of windows to restore original proportions and detailing. The Miner's cottage will be temporarily relocated on-site to accommodate construction of properly engineered foundation with a basement. With this, the Miner' s cottage is proposed to be relocated seven and one-half (7.5) feet to the west of its current location while maintaining its historic setback from Hopkins Avenue (see Plan Sheet H-14). This relocation will not change the distance of the cottage from Hopkins Avenue but will help to open the space between the historic commercial structures and create more pedestrian amenity space. The Historic Barn will be restored in its current location. As previously mentioned, the existing non-historic building on the southern portion of the lot (along the alley) will be demolished and redeveloped with a three-story structure, and when completed, the development will result again in three completely detached structures. No variances are required for this mixed-use project in the C-1 Zone District (see Exhibit 6). There is no minimum lot area per dwelling unit, no minimum lot width, no setback requirements, and no minimum distance between buildings for this type of development. The applicant is requesting a maximum height of 40 feet pursuant to the criteria of Chapter 26.412, Commercial Design Review. Although the third-story element is only proposed to be approximately 34!4 feet, enclosure of the stair tower and elevator overrun will include an additional five and a half feet, thereby requiring the forty (40) foot height limit. The residential unit will contain 2,290 square feet of net livable area; the applicant will utilize one TDR to accommodate the 290 square foot increase, as allowed by the Code for the C-1 Zone. Additionally, the overall development complies with all FAR limits. Finally, the total free-market residential net livable area proposed is much less than the total above grade commercial FAR, thereby complying with the Commercial/Residential ratio requirement of the C-1 zone. Next, the development complies with the Public Amenity Space requirements of Section 26.575.030 and the Utility/Trash/Recycle Service Area required by Code Section 26.575.060. Although the Public Amenity Space requirement in the C-1 Zone District is Susie's Remodel - HPC Conceptual Application Page 3 .. twenty-five percent (25%), since this is a redevelopment of a parcel that currently - contains only 23% of public amenity space, the effective requirement is reduced to 23%. Nevertheless, the proposed redevelopment actually increases the amount of public amenity space to approximately 29.7%. The utility/trash/recycle service area is located along the alley frontage and, with the included access into and through it, meets all required dimensions and design standards. This development requires efforts to restore historic integrity and return the resources to their true historic appearance. As mentioned above, the restoration efforts to be undertaken include: • Removal of two non-historic additions from the rear of the Miner' s cottage. • Development of a properly engineered foundation below the Miner' s cottage. • The corner of the Miner's cottage where the smaller addition is being removed will be restored to its original appearance with new siding and a new window to match existing historic windows. • The siding on both buildings will be replaced with natural barn siding for a more historically consistent appearance. • New metal roofs will be installed, and the gutters and downspouts will be replaced on both structures. • There will be a new raised wood porch in the same location as the existing porch on the Miner' s cottage. • Finally, windows on the Miner' s cottage will be restored to their original proportions and detailing. Review Requirements Given the above described proposal and accompanying plans set, approvals are needed for Conceptual Major Development, On-Site Relocation and (Partial) Demolition. Conceptual Development Plan, Section 26.415.070(D)(3) & The HPC Conceptual Design Standards Conceptual Review focuses on the height, scale, massing, site plan and proportions of a proposal. Conceptual Development Plan approval is required for the development proposed by this application. The only applicable review standard for Conceptual Review is a determination of consistency with the City of Aspen Historic Preservation Design Guidelines (hereinafter "the Guidelines"). The applicant is not requesting any Floor Area bonuses. Accordingly, the following portion of this application demonstrates adequate consistency with a sufficient number of relevant guidelines, as called for in the italicized print on the very first page ofthe Guidelines, which specifically state that, ...not every guideline will apply to each project, and some balancing of the guidelines must occur on a case-by-case basis. The HPC must Susie's Remodel - HPC Conceptual Application Page 4 .. - determine that a significant number of relevant guidelines have been adequately met in order to approve a project proposal. Chapters 1 through 10 of the Historic Preservation Design Guidelines (the HP Guidelines) are applicable to the proposed development as they refer to the renovation of Historic Structures. Chapter 11 provides guidelines for new buildings on Landmark Properties and is likewise relevant to this development. Since Chapter 12 is concerned with design in the Main Street Historic District and Chapter 13 concerns designs in the Commercial Core Historic District; thus, Chapters 12 and 13 do not apply to this proposal. The project has been designed to be generally consistent with the guidelines of Chapter 14, but specific consistency with these requirements will be demonstrated as part ofthe HPC's Final review. The relevant guidelines from Chapters 1 through 11 are outlined below in bold italicized text and each is followed by a response demonstrating compliance and/or consistency therewith, as applicable. Fences 1.1 Preserve Original Fences. 1.2 A new replacement fence should use materials that appear similar to that of the original. 1.3 A new replacement fence should have a "transparent" quality allowing views into the yard from the street. 1.4 New fence components should be similar in scale with those seen traditionally. 1.5 A side yard fence which extends between two homes should be set back from the street facing faqIde. 1.6 Replacement or new fencing between side yards and along the alley should be compatible with the historic content. The original fence defining the Hopkins Avenue frontage will be preserved. No replacement fences are proposed. Guidelines 1.7 and 1.8 are not applicable to this development as there are no original retaining walls. Walkways 1.9 Maintain the established progression of public-to-private spaces when considering a rehabilitation project. The established progression of public to private space will be maintained and enhanced with the proposed development. The public sidewalk will continue to connect to semi- public walkways to and between the two historic buildings, leading to the new building on the alley, and will end in private commercial and residential spaces. The Miner' s cottage is proposed to be relocated 7.5 feet to the west which will open the space between Susie's Remodel - HPC Conceptual Application Page 5 .. the two historic buildings thereby creating a better pedestrian experience and increased visibility for the resources. Private Yard 1.10 Preserve historic elements of the yard to provide an appropriate context for historic structures. 1.11 Preserve and maintain mature landscaping on site, particularly tandmark trees and shrubs. 1.12 Preserve and maintain historically significant planting designs. 1.13 Revisions or additions to the landscape should be consistent with the historic context Of the site. 1.14 Additions to the landscape that could interfere with historic structures area inappropriate. The large spruce tree at the northwest corner of the property will be preserved. Site Lighting 1.15 Minimize the visual impacts of site [ighting. • Site lighting should be shielded to avoid glare onto adjacent properties. Focus lighting on walks and entries, rather than up into trees and onto facade planes. This standard is understood by the applicant and will be addressed at Final HPC Review. Streetscape 1.16 Preserve historically significant landscape and design features. 1.17 Maintain historic irrigation ditches as an integral component of the streetscape. All significant landscape designs and features in the public right-of-way will be preserved. 2.1 Preserve original building materials. 2.2 Protect wood features from deterioration. 2.3 Plan repainting carefully. 2.4 Brick or stone that was not painted historically should not be painted. 2.5 Repair deteriorated primary building materials by patching, piecing-in, consolidating or otherwise reinforcing the material. 2.6 Maintain masonry wails in good condition. 2.7 Match the original material in composition, scale and finish when replacing materials on primary surfaces. 2.8 Do not use synthetic materials as replacements for primary building materials. Original building materials will be preserved to the extent practicable. The siding on the two buildings will be replaced with natural barn siding which will enhance the historical appearance of the resources. As appropriate, this standard will be more fully addressed at Final HPC Review. Susie's Remodel - HPC Conceptual Application Page 6 .. 2.9 Covering original building materials with new materials is inappropriate. 2.10 Consider removing later covering materials that have not achieved historic signijicance. The proposal does not include/involve the covering of original building materials. 3.1 Preserve the functional and decorativefeatures of a historic window. 3.2 Preserve the position, number and arrangement of historic windows in a building wai!. 3.3 Preserve the historic ratio of window openings to solid wail on afacade. 3.4 Match a replacement window to the original in its design. 3.5 In a replacement window, use materials that appear similar to the original. 3.6 Preserve the size and proportion of a historic window opening. 3.7 Match, as closely as possible, the projile of the sash and its components to that of the original window. 3.8 Use a storm window to enhance energy conservation rather than to replace a historic window. Although this standard will be more specifically addressed at the time of Final HPC Review, the removal of two small, non-historic additions to the Miner' s cottage will also entail the restoration of since lost windows to their original proportions and locations. One window will be added to the back of the building and will match existing historic windows. 4.1 Preserve historically significant doors. 4.2 Maintain the original size of a door and its opening. 4.3 When a historic door is damaged, repair it and maintain its general historic appearance. 4.4 If a new screen door is used, it should be in character with the primary door. 4.5 When replacing a door, use a design that has an appearance similar to the original door or a door associated with the style of the house. 4.6 If energy conservation and heat [oss are concerns, consider using a storm door instead of replacing a historic entry door. Although this standard will be more specifically addressed at the time of Final HPC Review, all historically significant doors will be preserved. Treatment of Porches 5.1 Preserve an original porch. 5.2 Avoid removing or covering historic materials and details on a porch. 5.3 Avoid enclosing a historic front porch. 5.4 The use of a porch on a residential building in a single-family context is strongly encouraged. Porch Replacement Susie's Remodel - HPC Conceptual Application Page 7 .. 5.5 If Porch replacement is necessary, reconstruct it to match the original in form and detail. The existing porch on the Miner' s cottage will be replaced to match the original in form and detail. Treatment of Architectural Features 6.1 Preserve significant architectural features. 6.2 When disassembly Of a historic element is necessary for its restoration, use methods that minimize damage to the original material. 6.3 Remove only the portion of the detail that is deteriorated and must be replaced. 6.4 Repair or replacement of missing or deteriorated features should be based on original designs. 6.5 Do not guess at "historic" designs for replacement parts. 6.6 Replacement of missing elements may be included in repair activities. All significant architectural features will be restored and/or preserved, as applicable. Treatment of Roofs 7.1 Preserve the original form of a roof. 7.2 Preserve the original eave depth. 7.3 Minimize the visual impacts of skylights and other rooftop devices. The original roof form and the original eave depth will be preserved. No skylights are proposed for this development. Both structures will receive new metal roofs as part of the restoration efforts. 7.4 A new chimney should be the same scale as those used historically. 7.5 Preserve original chintneys, even if they are made non-functional. 7.6 When planning a rooftop addition, preserve the overall appearance of the original roof. The existing building does not have a chimney and no chimney is proposed in the renovation. No rooftop addition is planned. 7.7 A new dormer should remain subordinate to the historic roof in scale and character. There are no new dormers proposed for the historic buildings. 7.8 Preserve original roof materials. Original roof materials will be preserved to the extent practicable, although new metal roofing is proposed for both historic structures. Susie' s Remodel - HPC Conceptual Application Page 8 .. 7.9 New or replacement roof materials should convey a scale, color and texture similar to those used traditionally. 7.10 If it is to be used, a metal roof should be applied and detailed in a manner that is compatible and does not detract from the historic appearance of the building. 7.11 Avoid using conjecturalfeatures on a roof. The replacement roof materials will convey a scale, color and texture similar to those used traditionally. There will be no conjectural features on or added to the roof. Secondary Structures 8.1 If an existing secondary structure is historically significant, then it must be preserved. 8.2 If an existing secondary structure is beyond repair, then replacing it is encouraged The existing outbuilding (barn) next to the cottage has already been deemed historically significant and will be preserved. The building on the alley is not historic and will be demolished and replaced with a new mixed-use building. 8.3 Avoid attaching a garage or carport to the primary structure. 8.4 A garage door should be compatible with the character of the historic structure. No garage or carport is proposed for the primary historic cottage or barn. A garage is proposed on the alley side ofthe new building. 8.5 Avoid moving a historic secondary structure from its original location. The historic secondary structure (barn) will remain in its current location. Preserving Building Locations and Foundations 9.1 Proposals to relocate a building will be considered on a case-by-case basis. 9.2 Moving an existing building that contributes to the character of a historic district should be avoided. 9.3 If relocation is deemed appropriate by the HPC, a structure must remain within the boundaries of its historic parcel. 9.4 Site the structure in a position similar to its historic orientation. 9.5 A new foundation should appear similar in design and materials to the historic foundation. 9.6 When rebuilding a foundation, locate the structure at its approximate historic elevation above grade. 9.7 A Ughtwell may be used to permit light into below-grade living space. The Miner's cottage will be moved temporarily to allow for construction of a proper foundation and basement. The new foundation will be properly engineered and appear similar in design and materials to the historic foundation; the cottage will remain at its historic elevation above grade. The Miner's cottage is being relocated approximately Susie's Remodel - HPC Conceptual Application Page 9 .. seven and one-half feet to the west in order to provide more space between the historic - buildings and thereby create a more pedestrian-friendly experience. Two light wells will be installed in the basement on the barely-visible west side of the cottage. 10.1 Preserve an older addition that has achieved historic significance in its own right. 10.2 A more recent addition that is not historically significant may be removed. There are two non-historically significant additions on the rear of the cottage and these will be removed. The cottage will then be restored to its original appearance. 10.3 Design a new addition such that one's ability to interpret the historic character of the primary building is maintained. 10.4 Design a new addition to be recognized as a product of its own time. 10.5 When planning an addition to a building in a historic district, preserve historic alignments that may exist on the street. 10.6 Design an addition to be compatible in size and scale with the main building. 10.7 If it is necessary to design an addition that is taller than a historic building, set it back substantially from significant facades and use a "connector" to link it to the historic building. 10.8 Place an addition at the rear of a building or set it backfrom the front to minimize the visual impact on the historic structure and to allow the original proportions and character to remain prominent. 10.9 Roofforms should be similar to those of the historic building. 10.10 Design an addition to a historic structure such that it will not destroy or obscure historically important architecturalfeatures. 10.11 On a new addition, use exterior materials that are compatible with the historic materials of the primary building. 10.12 When constructing a rooftop addition, keep the mass and scale subordinate to that of a historic building. 10.13 Set a rooftop addition back from the front of the building. 10.14 The roof form and slope of a new addition should be in character with the historic building. The only "addition" to the historic structure involves the new foundation and basement, neither of which will be visible. As such, the above cited criteria from Chapter 10 of the Guidelines are not applicable to the proposed development. Chapter 11 provides the guidelines for new buildings on landmarked properties. Said chapter states that when new building occurs on a historic property, it should reinforce the basic visual characteristics of the site. Imitating historic styles is generally discouraged. The Guidelines explain that "rather than imitating older buildings, a new design should relate to the fundamental characteristics of the historic resources while also conveying the stylistic trends of today." The specific guidelines of Chapter 11 are addressed below. Susie's Remodel - HI?C Conceptual Application Page 10 .. 11.1 Orient the primary entrance of a new building to the street. The primary entrance of the new building is oriented toward the street, but it is set behind the historic structures and the building resides along the alley frontage. 11.2 In a residential context, clearly define the primary entrance to a new building by using a front porch. The new building is a mixed-use building and does not have a front porch, but its primary entrance is clearly defined by a walkway/path from the sidewalk. 11.3 Construct a new building to appear similar in scale with the historic buildings on the parcel. Although taller than the historic structures, the new building is set significantly back from the historic structures along the sidewalk. The new building is in scale with the adjacent portion of the building recently approved on the next door Berg property, the restored and remodeled Crandall Building on the other side of the alley, and the building located directly across the alley from the subject site. Additionally, the upper floors of the new building step back, away from the resources. The new structure is similar in scale and massing to the existing structures on the west and south sides as well as the approved structure (to be built this summer, 2012) on the east side. 11.4 Design a front elevation to be similar in scale to the historic building. 11.5 Use building forms that are similar to those of the historic property. 11.6 Use roofforms that are similar to those seen traditionally in the block. 11.7 Roof materials should appear similar in scale and texture to those used traditionally. Given the zoning of the parcel (C-1), it would not be reasonable or desirable to expect that the design of the front elevation of the new building would be similar in scale or form to the historic buildings. However, the new building is in scale and of similar form to the recently approved addition to the Berg property next door and the multi-family structure to the west, as well as the remodeled Crandall building and the building directly across the alley. The roof form of the new building will be similar to other, non-historic buildings on the block. It would not be appropriate for the roof form or materials to be similar in scale and texture to the historic buildings as this building will feature a predominantly flat roof; a pitched roof would produce inappropriate form, massing and scale. 11.8 Use building materials that contribute to a traditional sense of human scale. 11.9 Use building components that are similar in size and shape to those of the historic property. Susie's Remodel - HPC Conceptual Application Page 11 .. Again, given the C-1 zoning of the parcel, it would not be appropriate for the new building to use building components that are similar in size and shape to the historic resources. Nevertheless, the proposed development on the property breaks down the massing of the new building by using modules and varied building materials. The upper floors of the new building step back from the levels below so as to better inflect toward the resources. As mentioned above, the new building will be in scale with the new addition approved for the adjacent Berg property as well the buildings across the alley. 11.10 The imitation of older historic styles is discouraged. • This blurs the distinction between old and new buildings. • Highly complex and ornately detailed revival styles that were not part of Aspen's history are especially discouraged on historic sites. The new building is clearly distinguishable from the historic buildings, but is visually compatible with the approved development on the adjacent lot. The new building is set more than ten (10) feet back from the historic buildings and its second and third floors are setback from lower levels. The new building proposes to use different but compatible materials from the historic buildings and its contemporary design will complement the historic buildings while clearly being a product of its own time. As mentioned above, the Guidelines of Chapter 14 are more directly applicable to Final Review than they are to Conceptual Review. Nevertheless, the project is and will be found consistent with Chapter 14's general guidelines addressing such topics as accessibility, color, lighting, on-going maintenance, and treatment of mechanical equipment, service areas, driveways and parking; the elements of the proposal relative to many of these features are depicted on the accompanying plan sets. In summary, the foregoing has amply demonstrated an exceedingly high level of consistency with more than a "suficient number of relevant guidelines." The proposal does not include a floor area bonus request. To the degree that any inconsistency with the Guidelines exists at all, such inconsistency is primarily the result of conflicting guidelines and the required balancing of goals. The proposed development maximizes the potential for consistency with the Guidelines. Conceptual Commercial Design Review The Commercial, Lodging and Historic District Design Objectives and Guidelines (the "Commercial Guidelines") set forth design review criteria, standards and guidelines that are to be used in making determinations of appropriateness. They are organized to address the different design contexts that exist in the City. These distinct settings are defined as "Character Areas," within which variations exist among the physical features that define each area. The subject site is located in the Commercial Character Area, one block east of the Commercial Core. Susie's Remodel - HPC Conceptual Application Page 12 .. Per the Commercial Character Area Guidelines, all development projects should achieve the following design objectives: • Promote an interconnected circulation system that invites pedestrian use, including a continuous street and alley system and a respect for the natural topography; • Promote a system of public places that support activities, including public amenity spaces, compatible landscaping and paving, and unobtrusive off-street parking; and • Assure that buildings fit together to create a vibrant street edge that reinforces a sense of appropriate scale. The Commercial Zone District correlates with the Commercial Character Area and forms the immediate fringe of much of the Commercial Core Historic District (CC). Building heights and materials in this zone vary. Storefront design and display is a less dominant characteristic than in the CC area, and this intentionally diminishes the pedestrian experience in some places as compared with the core. The street wall is less defined than in the CC, and building facades are sometimes set back or include front yard space, which weakens the edge. The purpose of the Commercial (C-1) zone district is enumerated in Section 26.710.150(A) as follows: ...to provide for the establishment of mixed-use buildings with commercial uses on the ground floor, opportunities for affordable and free-market residential density. A transition between the CC and surrounding residential neighborhoods has been implemented through a slight reduction in allowable floor area as compared to the Commercial Core, the ability to occupy the Ground Floor with ojfices, and a separate Chapter in the Commercial Design Guidelines. [Emphasis added] As provided in the above-cited, codified "Purpose" statement, by complying with the zoning and associated dimensional requirements, this proposal has already succeeded in transitioning from the CC to the surrounding residential neighborhood. Moreover, this proposal leaves more than 8,000 square feet of FAR on the table/unused and, other than the stairway/elevator overrun centered on the roof form, the new building is below the height limit. The key design objectives in the Commercial Character Area are as follows: 1. Strengthen the sense of relatedness with the Commercial Core Historic District. Strengthening the definition of the street edge in a manner similar to the Commercial Core is desired. At the same time, the Commercial Area is a place where more variety in design is encouraged. Imitating historic styles is not an objective, but re- establishing a sense of a stronger fundamental framework will enhance the urban qualities of this area and is a priority. Susie's Remodel - HPC Conceptual Application Page 13 .. 2. Maintain a retail orientation. Greater retail presence at the street edge should be achieved to ensure an enhanced street vitality and an enriched and more urban definition of the commercial street frontage. 3. Promote creative, contemporary design. Designs should seek creative new solutions that convey the community's continuing interest in exploring innovations. At the same time, the fundamental principles of traditional design must be respected. This means that each project should strike a balance in the design variables that are presented in the following pages. 4. Encourage a well-defined street wall. The intent is to more clearly establish a strongly defined street wall, but with some greater variety than in the Commercial Core Historic District since the historic building edge is not as defined. A stronger street fagade definition should be achieved while at the same time recognizing the value of public dining and landscaped space. 5. Reflect the variety in building heights seen traditionally. It is important that a range and variation in building height and scale in the Commercial Area be recognized in future development. Larger buildings should be varied in height and reflect original lot widths. 6. Accommodate outdoor public spaces while establishing a clear definition to the street edge. Providing space in association with individual buildings remains important, but should be balanced with much greater building street presence and corner definition. 7. Promote variety in the street level experience. Display cases, architectural details and landscaping are among the design elements that should be used. The Miner's cottage and the barn will maintain their current distance from and orientation toward the street edge after the proposed renovations are completed, while the new construction' s unique and innovative design will en-hance the street vitality. The proposed renovation restores the original design and integrity of the historic buildings while simultaneously infusing behind the resources an innovative contemporary building that will clearly be viewed as a product of its own time. The new building recognizes the importance of having varied building heights in the Commercial Character Area and reflects this goal relative to structures on surrounding properties. Outlined below is each of the Commercial Character Area's Conceptual Review Design Guidelines in italicized print, followed by a description of the proposal's compliance and/or consistency therewith, as applicable. Susie's Remodel - HPC Conceptual Application Page 14 .. 1.1 Orient a primary entrance toward the street. • A building should have a clearly defined primary entrance. • Providing secondary public entrances to commercial spaces is also encouraged on larger buildings. The buildings are on a 6,000 square foot lot and each of the historic buildings will continue to have a clearly defined primary entrance on Hopkins Avenue, recessed from the street edge. The new building, which is situated behind the historic buildings, will - also have a clearly defined primary entrance. All front entrances are clearly defined by walking path access as well. 1.2 Maintain the established town grid in ail projects. • The network of streets and alleys should be retained as public circulation space andfor maximum public access. • Streets and alleys should not be enclosed or closed to public access, and should remain open to the sky. All streets and alleys will be retained and will provide maximum public access. No streets or alleys will be enclosed or closed to public access. Internal Walkways 1.3 Public walkways and through courts should be designed to create access to additional commercial space. The public walkway and through court will be somewhat larger than what currently exists in order to access the new mixed-use building that will sit behind the two historic resources and to visually accentuate the resources. 1.4 Develop an alley fa,ade to create visual interest. Materials and massing variation are used creatively yet practically along the alley side to enhance visual interest and reduce the perceived scale of the building. The new building also employs varied building setbacks along the alley 1.5 The visual impacts of structured parking should be minimized. The access shall be: • Located on an alley when feasible or a secondary street, designed with the same attention to detail and materials as the primary building fagade, and integrated into the building design. 1.6 Structured parking should be placed within a 'wrap' of commercial and/or residential uses. There is currently no off-street parking on the site. The proposed development includes a two-car garage in the new building that will be accessed from the alley. One of the Susie's Remodel - HPC Conceptual Application Page 15 .. garage spaces will serve the residence while the other will be dedicated to commercial use. Public Amenity Space 1.7 A street-facing amenity space shall meet all of the following requirements: • Abut the public sidewalk • Be level with the side-walk • Be open to the sky • Be directly accessible to the public • Be paved or otherwise landscaped 1.8 A street-facing public amenity space shall remain subordinate to the line of building fronts in the Commercial Area. 1.9 Street facing amenity space shall contain features to promote and enhance its use. These may include one or more of the following: • Street furniture • Public art • Historical/interpretive marker The site currently maintains approximately 23% public amenity space. The proposed development will increase this space to approximately 29.7% and this space will continue to abut the public sidewalk. The public amenity space will be level with the sidewalk, open to the sky, directly accessible to the public and will be paved and/or landscaped. The pedestrian amenity space is being enhanced by the proposed development. 1.18 Maintain the alignment offacades at the sidewalk's edge. • Place as much ofthefacade of the building at the property line as possible. • A minimum of 60% of the frontfagade shall be at the property line. • Locating an entire building front behind the established storefront line is inappropriate. 1.19 A building may be set back from its side lot lines in accordance with design guidelines identified in Street & ANey System and Public Amenity Space guidelines. The historic buildings will maintain the existing alignment of the front facades, which are recessed from the street edge. Although the Miner's cottage will be relocated seven and one-half (7.5) feet to the west of its current location, its front fagade distance from the sidewalk edge will not change. 1.20 Building fa,ades shall be parallel to the facing street(s) and primary entrances shall be oriented toward the street. 1.21 Orient a new building to be parallel to its lot lines, similar to that of traditional building orientations. · The front Of a primary structure shall be oriented to the street. The facades of the existing buildings and the proposed new building are all parallel to the street and their primary entrances are oriented toward and parallel with the street. Susie's Remodel - HPC Conceptual Application Page 16 .. 1.22 Building fa¢ade height shaN be varied from the fa¢ade height of adjacent buildings of the same number of stories by a minimum of 2 feet. · If an existing structure is three stories and 38 ft. tall for example, then adjacent new infill may be three stories, but must vary infagade height by a minimum of 2 ft. 1.23 A new building or addition should reflect the range and variation in building height of the Commercial Area. • Refer to the zone district regulations to determine the maximum height on the subject property. • A minimum 9 ft. floor to ceiling height is to be maintained on second stories and higher. The maximum height in the C1 zone district is established at twenty-eight feet for two- story elements and thirty-six (36) feet for three-story elements of a building, which may be increased to forty (40) feet through Commercial Design Review. The proposed three- story building has a maximum height of forty feet at the stair tower that is centered on the roof. The predominant roof line of this new building is at 34'-6"; however, due to the height of the stair tower enclosure the applicant is asking the HPC to increase the allowed height to 40 feet. The Berg residence is on the lot next door to the east. The proposed building on the alley is one story taller than the approved addition on the Berg property, but only slightly taller than the Crandall building on the other side of the alley. The structure to the west of the subject property is an approximately 10,000 square foot, 2!4-story multi-family townhome building; this building is immediately adjacent to the historic Miner's cottage. The proposed new building will be somewhat taller than this adjacent building, but as mentioned throughout this application, will be located along the alley. As such, the proposed new building varies in height from adj acent buildings by more than the prescribed two (2) feet but not so dramatically that compatibility is compromised. 1.24 Height variation should be achieved using one or more ofthe following: • Kary the building height in accordance with traditional lot width. • Set back the upper floor to vary the building fagade profile(s) and the roofforms across the width and the depth of the building. • Vary the fagade (or parapet) heights at the front. · Step down the rear of the building towards the alley, in conjunction with other design standards and guidelines. This proposal envisions a separate three-story structure which is setback ten and one-half feet (10'-6") from the historic structures and approximately 50 feet from the front property line. Additionally, the upper floors step back from the levels below so as to recede and provide visual relief. The creative use of exterior materials on the new building also assist in reducing its perceived scale while breaking down its massing. 1.25 On sites comprising more than two traditional lot widths, the fa,ade height shall be varied to reflect traditional lot width. Susie's Remodel - HPC Conceptual Application Page 17 .. 1.26 Buildings on sites comprising more than two traditional lot widths shall achieve a minimum of two of thefollowing: Since this site is comprised of only two traditional lot widths these standards are not applicable. 1.27 A new building should step down in scale to respect the height,form and scale of a historic building within its immediate setting. 1.28 New development adjacent to a single story historic building that was originally constructed for residential use shall not exceed 28 ft. in height within 30 ft. of the side property line adjacent to the historic structure within the same blockface. Although the adj acent Berg property contains a single story historic residence, the two historic resources on the subject property (the Miner's cottage and Barn) are also single story structures. The new development proposed in this application will be behind the two historic resources on the subject property and will be adjacent to the new two-story building addition that was approved along the alley for the Berg property. Demolition. Section 26.415.080(A)(4) Section 26.415.080(A)(4) of the Code provides that the HPC shall review the application, staff report and hear evidence presented by the property owners, parties of interest and members of the general public to determine if the standards for demolition approval have been met. Demolition shall be approved if it is demonstrated that the application meets any one of the following criteria: a. The property has been determined by the City to be an imminent hazard to public safety and the owner/applicant is unable to make the needed repairs in a timely manner, b. The structure is not structurally sound despite evidence of the owner's efforts to properly maintain the structure, c. The structure cannot practically be moved to another appropriate location in Aspen or d. No documentation exists to support or demonstrate that the property has historic, architectural, archaeological, engineering or cultural significance, and Additionally, for approval to demolish, all of the following criteria must be met: a. The structure does not contribute to the significance of the parcel or historic district in which it is located, and Susie's Remodel - HPC Conceptual Application Page 18 .. b. The loss of the building, structure or object would not adversely affect the integrity of the historic district or its historic, architectural or aesthetic relationship to adjacent designated properties and c. Demolition of the structure will be inconsequential to the historic preservation needs Of the area. The building on the alley that is proposed to be demolished cannot practically be moved to another location in Aspen. Furthermore, it maintains no historic significance, thus, such an effort would be unnecessary. Additionally, since it does not contribute to the historic significance of the parcel, the loss of this structure will not adversely affect the adjacent designated property (Berg) and demolition of the structure will be inconsequential to the historic preservation needs of the area. With regard to the historic structures, the applicant proposes demolition of only the non- historic and inappropriate additions and alterations to the rear of the Miner' s cottage. There is no documentation to support or demonstrate that the building portions to be demolished have historic, architectural, archaeological, engineering or cultural significance. The additions and the non-historic elements of the historic Miner's cottage do not contribute to the significance of the parcel, and the loss of these structures (or portions thereof) will not adversely affect the integrity of either the resource or its relationship to adjacent designated properties. The overall historic integrity and resource value of the property will be greatly enhanced by development of the proposed plans. On-Site Relocation, Section 26.415.090(C) The intent of Chapter 26.415 is to preserve designated historic properties in their original locations as much of their significance is embodied in their setting and physical relationship to their surroundings as well as their association with events and people with ties to particular site. However, it is recognized that occasionally the relocation of a properly may be appropriate as it provides an alternative to demolition or because it only has a limited impact on the attributes that make it significant, as is the case here. Section 26.415.090(C) of the Code provides the standards for the relocation of designated properties and states that, Relocation for a building, structure or object will be approved if it is determined that it meets any one of the following standards: 1. It is considered a noncontributing element of a historic district and its relocation will not affect the character of the historic district; or Susie's Remodel - HPC Conceptual Application Page 19 .. 2. It does not contribute to the overall character of the historic district or ~ parcel on which it is located and its relocation will not have an adverse impact on the Historic District or property; or 3. The owner has obtained a certificate ofeconomic hardship; or 4. The relocation activity is demonstrated to be an acceptable preservation method given the character and integrity of the building, structure or object and its move will not adversely affect the integrity of the Historic District in which it was originally located or diminish the historic, architectural or aesthetic relationships of adjacent designated properties; and Additionally, for approval to relocate all ofthefollowing criteria must be met: 1. It has been determined that the building, structure or object is capable of withstanding the physical impacts of relocation; 2. An appropriate receiving site has been identified; and 3. An acceptable plan has been submitted providing for the safe relocation, repair and preservation of the building, structure or object including the provision of the necessary financial security. Please refer to Plan Sheet H-14 for a graphic depiction of the proposed on-site relocation. The applicant proposes only on-site and temporary relocation of the historic Miner' s cottage in order to develop a proper foundation and basement space. Once the foundation and basement are completed the cabin will be relocated approximately seven and a half feet (7.5) to the west of its current location. Its distance from the front property line will not change. This relocation will help to increase the public amenity space between the two historic structures and increase their visibility. The ability to develop basement space provides the main incentive to undertaking the cost and endeavor of stabilizing, and relocating the structure which needs a new foundation anyway. Given the foregoing, it is fair to say that the relocation activity provides an acceptable preservation method given the character and integrity of the building. In fact, the relocation activity and ability to place usable basement space below the Miner' s cottage provides an incentive for restoration and preservation. The move will not adversely affect the integrity of the historic district or diminish the historic, architectural or aesthetic relationships of adjacent designated properties. The structure will be properly supported prior to any relocation activity. A letter from a building relocation expert will be provided with the Final HPC application to substantiate that the structure is capable of withstanding the physical impacts of the proposed relocation. Finally, a plan for safe relocation, repair and preservation of the buildings, along with provision of the necessary financial security will be provided with the Final HPC application and/or building permit application, as required.

Setbacks The Commercial Area has a strong and relatively consistent street fagade line to the south and a much varied line as building scale reduces to the north. Cornerbuildings anchor the street block to varying degrees throughout the area. Setbacks within the Commercial Area should reinforce the objective of enhancing the urban character and a stronger urban edge of the street falade and street corner. Local areas of open space further the objective of the street vitality created by well defined dining space. These should however remain as an accent within the street fagade. Side setbacks are associated with the more traditional small scale development within the area. They also provide the opportunity to enhance public passageways or through courts to the rear alley, with the advantages of improved public permeability, access and additional commercial frontage. See also Street & Circulation Pattern and Public Amenity Space design guidelines.

Building Height, Mass & Scale The character of the Commercial Area derives in part from the range and variety of building heights. These generally vary from one to three and four stories towards the mountain base. To the north, the building height frequently varies and traditional lot width becomes again evident in the modulation of the block face. This helps to express and maintain the human scale and architectural character of the area. New development should continue this variation while also enhancing the definition of the street facade. A new building should also be sensitive to the setting of an adjacent historic building and the edge of a historic district.

HAAS LAND PLANNING, LLC June 5,2012 Ms. Amy Guthrie City ofAspen Historic Preservation Officer 130 South Galena Street Aspen, CO 81611 RE: Revised Conceptual Application for 623 East Hopkins, Aspen (Lots F & G, Block 99, City and Townsite of Aspen; PID # 2737-182-12-001; a/lda "Susie's" Property) Dear Amy: Based on the comments received via email on May 31,2012, after your staff meeting, the applicant has completed several revisions to the proposed plans. A new plan set has been prepared by Oz Architecture for your use and distribution to the HPC. In addition, some explanation ofthe plans and response to the aforementioned email is provided below. First, to be clear, absolutely no variances are required for this mixed-use project in the C- 1 Zone District. There is no minimum lot area per dwelling unit, no minimum lot width, no setback requirements, and no minimum distance between buildings for this type of development. Additionally, the maximum height of the third-story element on the new construction is proposed to be approximately 31 14 feet tall and only 344 feet to the top of the railing on its rooftop deck; the maximum height allowed by-right in this zone district is 36 feet for these three-story elements. In other words, in an effort to be as sensitive as possible to the historic resources and despite the fact that the adjacent townhomes are significantly taller, the proposal is not even using all the height allowed by right on this property. In addition, the proposed two-story elements top out more than four (4) feet below the 28 foot height limit applicable to these portions of the structure. The residential unit will contain 2,487 square feet of net livable area; the applicant will utilize one TDR to accommodate this, as allowed by the Code for the C-1 Zone District. With this net livable unit size, the total proposed Free-Market Residential Floor Area is still just 95.3% of that allowed. Additionally, the overall development not only complies with all applicable FAR limits, but seeks to develop only 37.2% of the 15,000 square feet allowed by-right. Put another way, almost twice as much allowable floor area is being left unused than will be developed in the entire project. Finally, the total free-market residential net livable area proposed (2,487sf) remains less than the total above grade commercial FAR (2,656sf), thereby assuring compliance with the Commercial/Residential ratio requirement of the C-1 zone. In total, although the property maintains certain clearly specified development rights by code, less than 38% of the permitted floor area is proposed for development. Similarly, although no yard area setbacks are required, the applicant has included more than • 201 N MILL STREET, SUITE 108 • ASPEN, COLORADO • 81611 • • (970) 925-7819 • MITCH@HLPASPEN.COM • .. sufficient setbacks, more public amenity space than necessary and generous distances between the historic structures and the new construction while keeping all construction well below allowable/applicable height limits. Moreover, the proposed designs have increased the setbacks of each floor level from the level below so as to better step the height and massing back away from the two historic resources at the front of the property. Although the two historic structures to be preserved and fully restored are only one story in height, the approved and existing development patterns of adjacent properties (i.e., the Berg property to the east, and the existing townhomes structure to the west) as well as the sensitivities the applicant has clearly incorporated must be kept in mind during the project's review. Furthermore, the application does not request any Floor Area bonuses and, therefore, a fair balancing of applicable HPC Design Guidelines is required. Next, in response to the concerns outlined in your May 31 email, the plans have been revised to make perfectly clear that the basement level of the new structure does not include anything that might possible serve as net leasable commercial space. There is merely a mechanical room in one small section and the remainder o f that level is nothing more than crawl space with inadequate head heights to serve any leasable function; no deed restriction will be required as the plans and representation provide more than adequate assurance. However, if a condition of approval stating that these areas cannot be used as net leasable space, the applicant is amenable to such. The second floor commercial/office space in the new structure has been eliminated altogether. The entirety of the second and third floors is within the single residential unit only, and the ground level includes only the garage, common circulation areas and two commercial/office spaces. As such, there should be no concern going forward about any of the commercial spaces being absorbed into the free market residential unit. Like the basement/crawl space level, there will be no need for a deed restriction as the plans and representations provide more than adequate assurance. Similarly, should staff feel a condition of approval is warranted, the applicant will be amendable to a condition outlining that the only approved net leasable space is on the ground level. As correctly pointed out, the most current code provisions distribute the floor area exemption for deck space between the various uses within a mixed use project. With an allowable free market residential FAR of 3,000sf, the available deck exemption is just 450sf and the revised plans reflect and comply with this limitation. While up to 1,350sf of commercial deck space is allowed as exempt FAR, no such space is currently proposed. The third floor massing has been further minimized as suggested. It has been pulled in from the boundaries of the second floor on all sides of the building. The proposed two- story elements top out more than four (4) feet below the 28 foot height limit applicable to these portions of the structure. The third floor has also been minimized in profile to fall well below the allowable height for third story elements in the C-1 zone district. As mentioned above, the maximum height of the third-story element on the new construction Susie's Remodel - HPC Conceptual Addendum Page 2 .. is proposed to be approximately 31!4 feet tall and only 3414 feet to the top of the railing on its rooftop deck; the maximum height allowed by-right in this zone district is 36 feet for these three-story elements. In other words, in an effort to be as sensitive as possible to the historic resources and despite the fact that the adjacent townhomes are significantly taller, the proposal is not even using all the height allowed by right on this property. In addition, the third floor has been clad in a different and softer material than found on the levels below, which will further decrease its perceived mass and scale. Cues have been taken from the successful massing of the Connor Cabins project. The overall size of the rear building has been decreased substantially and, again, falls well below limits allowed by right in this zone district. The ability to use a TDR to enable more livable area within the free market residence is clearly and objectively provided in the code. More importantly, the use of a TDR has no bearing on the size, mass or scale of the rear building as the TDR merely enables use of the allowable Floor Area within the unit, as livable space, as opposed to the same floor area being wasted on inefficient common areas, hallways, staircases, etc. Please also note that this proposal uses only 95.3% of the allowable free market residential floor area. Finally, the proposed fenestration and exterior building materials have been somewhat revised as well. That said, the applicant is aware that these elements and the details of their design will be further discussed during the Final HPC review process. It is hoped that the information provided herein and in the accompanying plan sets proves helpful in the review and approval of this exceptional project and exemplary preservation effort.

A e .~ HAAS L~ND PLANNI~G, LLC May 14,2012 RECEIVED MAY 1 5 2012 Ms. Amy Guthrie CITY OF ASPEN City of Aspen Historic Preservation Officer COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT 130 South Galena Street Aspen, CO 81611 RE: Administrative Growth Management Application for 623 East Hopkins, Aspen (Lots F & G, Block 99, City and Townsite of Aspen; PID # 2737-182-12-001; a/k/a "Susie's" Property) Dear Amy: Please consider this letter to constitute a formal request for Administrative Growth Management approval pursuant to Section 26.470.060(4), Minor Enlargement of an Historic Landmark for Commercial, Lodge or Mixed-Use Development, of the Code in association with the separately proposed Major Development to allow restoration and remodeling of the two historic buildings located at 623 East Hopkins, Aspen, as well as demolition and redevelopment of the non-historic alley building. Existing Conditions The subject property currently contains three detached structures, all in commercial use. The Susie's Cabin includes 916 square feet of ground floor net leasable space (NLS). The Susie's Barn structure includes 469 square feet of ground floor NLS. The alley structure includes 702 square feet of NLS on each of its ground and basement levels. As such, the property currently contains 2,087 square feet of ground floor NLS and 702 square feet of lower level/basement NLS. Pursuant to Code Section 26.470.100(1), the property currently generates the following number of full-time equivalent employees (FTE): Ground Floor: 2,087sf x (4.1 FTE / 1,000sf) = 2.087 x 4.1 = 8.56 FTE Lower Level: 702sf x (3.075 FTE / 1,000sf) = 0.702 x 3.075 = 2.16 FTE TOTAL FTE GENERATION (EXISTING) = 10.72 FTE Code Section 26.470.060(4) The cited Code section provides that, "The enlargement of a property, structure or portion of a structure designated as an historic landmark for commercial, lodge or mixed-use development shall be approved, approved with conditions or denied by the Community Development Director based on the following criteria." The referenced • 201 N. MILLSTREET, SUITE 108 • ASPEN, COLORADO • 81611 • • PHONE: (970) 925-7819 • FAX: (970) 925-7395 • .. criteria are provided below in indented and italicized text, with each followed by a response demonstrating compliance and/or consistency therewith, as applicable. a. If the development increases either floor area or net leasable space/lodge units, but not both, then no employee mitigation shall be required. The proposed enlargement of structures on the designated, subject historic landmark property for mixed-use development has the effect of increasing both floor area and net leasable space. b. If the development increases both floor area and net leasable space/lodge units, up to four (4) employees generated by the additional commercial/lodge shall not require the provision of affordable housing. An expansion generating more than four (4) employees shall not qualijj for this administrative approval and shall be reviewed pursuant to Paragraph 26.470.070.1. The proposal includes 2,092sf of ground floor NLS, 924sf of basement level NLS, and 340sf of second floor NLS. Pursuant to Code Section 26.470.100(1), the proposed enlargement generates the following number of full-time equivalent employees (FTE): Ground Floor: 2,092sf x (4.1 FTE / 1,000sf) = 2.092 x 4.1 = 8.58 FTE Other Levels: 1,264sf x (3.075 FTE / 1,000sf) = 1.264 x 3.075 = 3.89 FTE TOTAL FTE GENERATION (PROPOSED) = 12.47 FTE Given that the applicable standard speaks to employees generated by the "additional" commercial development, one must deduct existing employee generation from the subject property to determine the net increase in employee generation, as follows: Total FTE Generation (Proposed) = 12.47 FTE Total FTE Generation (Existing) = 10.72 FTE ADDITIONAL FTE GENERATION: 1.75 FTE Therefore, since the standard provides that "up to four (4) employees generated by the additional commercial/lodge shall not require the provision of affordable housing" and the additional commercial development generates only 1.75 employees, no affordable housing is required. Furthermore, Section 26.470.070.1. of the Code is rendered inapplicable as less than four (4) employees are generated by the additional commercial development. c. No more than one (1) free-market residence is created. This shall be cumulative and shall include administrative GMQS approvals granted prior to the adoption of Ordinance No. 14, Series of 2007. Susie's Remodel - Administrative Growth Management Application Page 2 .. Only one free-market residence is being created through this minor expansion, and no other free-market residences exist or will exist on the property. Under the terms of this standard and how it has been consistently administered over the years, no employee housing is required in association with this single free-market residential unit. Summary In light of the foregoing, there are no employee housing mitigation requirements associated with the proposed development. Accordingly, the standards of Code Section 26.470.050, General Requirements, are rendered largely inapplicable and moot. There are sufficient growth management allotments available to accommodate the proposed development, and the proposed development conforms to the requirements and limitations of the C-1 Zone District, as such existed on the date the submitted Conceptual HPC Major Development application was deemed complete (April 5, 2012). The proposed development is currently in the HPC Conceptual Review process for Major Development and Commercial Design Review, and will be consistent with the approval that results; to the extent that HPC requires changes to the plans that would alter anything stated herein, an amendment to this request will then be submitted. The project represents minimal additional demand on public infrastructure. Existing public infrastructure is sufficient to accommodate the proposed development or any necessary upgrades will be made and associated costs will be borne by the applicant. It is hoped that the information provided herein and in the plan sets provided for the HPC submittal prove helpful in the review and approval of this request.

MEMORANDUM TO: Chris Bendon, Community Development Director FROM: Amy Simon, Historic Preservation Officer RE: 623 E. Hopkins Avenue. GMQS Exemption for one free market residence in a mixed use development, and new net leasable commercial space in a mixed use development DATE: January 27,2014 SUMMARY: 623 E. Hopkins Avenue is zoned -C-1" and is legally described as Lots F and G. Block 99, City and Townsite of Aspen, Colorado. It was designated a historic landmark through Ordinance #34, Series of 1992. The property owner, Aspen Block 99, LLC, has requested GMQS exemption in order to add one free market residential unit and to expand the amount of net leasable commercial space on the property. An exemption is permitted in Section 26.470.060.4, Minor Enlargement of a Historic Landmark for commercial, lodge, or mixed-use development, as follows: Minor enlargement of an historic landmark for commercial, lodge or mixed- use development. The enlargement of a property, structure or portion of a structure designated as an historic landmark for commercial, lodge or mixed-use development shall be approved, approved with conditions or denied by the Community Development Director based on the following criteria. The additional development of uses identified in Section 26.470.020 shall be deducted from the development ceiling levels established pursuant to Section 26.470.030 but shall not be deducted from the respective annual development allotments. a. If the development increases either floor area or net leasable space/lodge units, but not both, then no employee mitigation shall be required. b. If the development increases both floor area and net leasable space/lodge units, up to four (4) employees generated by the additional commercial/lodge shall not require the provision of affordable housing. An expansion generating more than four (4) employees shall not qualify for this administrative approval and shall be reviewed pursuant to Paragraph 26.470.070.1. c. No more than one (1) free-market residence is created. This shall be cumulative and shall include administrative GMQS approvals granted prior to the adoption of Ordinance No. 14, Series of 2007. 1 .. The Community Development Director may approve, approve with conditions, or deny this GMQS exemption request pursuant to findings on the review criteria. Commercial expansion that was approved through HPC Resolution #23, Series of 2012, would require mitigation for 0.61 employees. This is within the exemption that is permitted for landmarks within the Aspen Municipal Code. There are currently no residential units on the site. therefore the proposed free market unit is eligible for GMQS exemption. , Staff finds that the review criteria are met and recommends approval of this Administrative GMQS application. APPROVAL: I hereby approve a GMQS Exemption for Minor Expansion of a Historic Landmark for commercial, lodge, or mixed-use development at 623 E. Hopkins Avenue, as proposed. The requirement to mitigate for generation of 0.61 employees related to commercial expansion, and the employee generation related to one free market residential unit is waived.

THE CITY oF Aspi:N Land Use Application Determination of Completeness Date: April 5,2012 Dear City of Aspen Land Use Review Applicant, We have received your land use application for 623 E. Hopkins and reviewed it for completeness. The case number and name assigned to this property is 0010.2012.ahpc. The planner assigned to this case is Amy Guthrie. Your Land Use Application is complete for HPC review, however the application contains errors that cause the proposal to be out of compliance with the Municipal Code, as follows: The interior door linking the ground floor office in the new building to the adjacent residential unit does not comply with limitations on maximum unit size for the residential unit. Please submit amended plans removing this interior door. The basement in the new building cannot be labeled as common storage area when the space is only accessible from the residential unit. This does not comply with limitations on maximum unit size. Please submit amended plans that would allow this space to function as common area, or identify a different purpose for the space. Please submit the aforementioned missing submission items so that we may begin reviewing your application. Your hearing is tentatively scheduled for June 13th. Other submission items may be requested throughout the review process as deemed necessary by the Community Development Department. Please contact me at 429-2758 i f you have any questions. Thank You, 094 Amy Guthrie, Historic Preservation Officer City o f Aspen, Community Development Department
