REGULAR MEETING HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION MAY 27 2020
NEW BUSINESS: 227 E. Main Street – Final Major Development. Kim Raymond Architecture
+ Interiors.
Ms. Raymond stated at the last meeting HPC had an issue with the windows on the eastside
facing wall. Ms. Raymond stated that they kept the fascia smaller on the new addition keeping in
line with HPC’s suggestion. Ms. Raymond stated that they will be renovating and restoring
everything they can on the historic resource and will be working with their monitor. Ms.
Raymond showed an aerial site plan outlining the footprint of the project. Ms. Raymond stated
that the owner would like to add solar panels on the westside of the gable on the new addition
and flush with the building. Ms. Raymond showed a visual of the landscape plan. Ms. Raymond
stated that there is very little room to have landscaping. Ms. Raymond said there will be a gravel
border around the historic resource and plant garden beds in the front. Ms. Raymond stated that a
deal has been struck between Explore Booksellers and the project about the removal of trees. Ms.
Raymond pointed out if trees can not be removed for whatever reason they are willing to adjust
the basement plans, and no visual changes will happen. Ms. Raymond stated that the exterior
lights on the historic front porch will keep the jelly jar fixture and the new addition will have a
subtle more modern fixture. Ms. Raymond pointed out that all the lights are dark sky compliant.
Ms. Raymond stated that they will be working with a shoring engineer for a one-sided pour for
the basement. Ms. Raymond show visual aids of the trim on the historic resource and how they
plan to keep it in line. Ms. Raymond pointed out the new extra room in between historic
windows and facia to keep with the historic framework. Ms. Raymond stated that they reduced
the number of windows on the east sidewall. Ms. Raymond stated that with the reduction in
windows that they have added louvers in certain areas to help bring in light. Ms. Raymond stated
that the link between the new addition and historic resource will have louvers to connect the two.
Ms. Raymond referred to the HPC packet for details about the green roof. Ms. Raymond showed
the materials that will be used on the project starting with the front historic resource. Ms.
Raymond stated that they are hoping to find historic wood siding that can be renovated and
restored, and repair and replace any wood shingles on the roof. Ms. Raymond stated that on the
new addition the roof will be a standing seam metal and a glass railing for the deck to keep
appearances low. Ms. Raymond stated that the windows will be aluminum clad, and the soffit
will stand light wood. Ms. Raymond showed that the louvers would be painted black to match
the seams. Ms. Raymond stated that venting of the fireplaces was a concern for HPC and they
have addressed that. Ms. Raymond pointed out that in the historic resource the fireplace will be
vented out the side, and you will not be able to see this from street view. Ms. Raymond pointed
out that the fireplace in the basement will be vented to the back of the garage along with the
vented hood. Ms. Raymond stated that they are very excited about how this has turned out. Ms.
Raymond stated that the transformer will be placed on the Main Street Bakery property and that
a deal has been made with the owners.
STAFF COMMENTS: Ms. Simon stated that this final proposal has been vetted well by this
board and that they are at final details. Ms. Simon stated that they are recommending final
approval. Ms. Simon reminded the board that this is a change from commercial to residential and
that this historic building will have slightly more use and that staff is ok with that. Ms. Simon
stated that staff is looking at plant selection in the landscape plan to make sure nothing is too tall
to interfere with the structure. Ms. Simon said they will be looking for a gravel border around the
building to keep plants and water away from the building. Ms. Simon stated that further
5
REGULAR MEETING HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION MAY 27 2020
investigation on the historic siding will have to wait until the house is lifted and able to really get
in there on all sides, with preservation documentation. Ms. Simon stated that staff wants to see
historic windows and doors preserved. Ms. Simon pointed out that there are historic details on
the gable that will need to be replicated and that the porch will need to be restored to resemble
historic photos. Ms. Simon pointed out that the wood shingle that was presented for replacement
needs to be natural and non-treated with stain or blackened. Ms. Simon stated that the roof vents
that were presented will need to be vetted and making sure that they are apparently placed. Ms.
Simon stated that the installation that will be used needs to be review before building permits are
issued. Ms. Simon reminded the applicant that they still need to turn in their stormwater plan to
the Engineering Department.
Ms. Greenwood stated that this project presentation was very thorough by the applicant and staff.
PUBLIC COMMENTS: Ruth Carver neighbor to the project. Ms. Carver asked where the
garbage cans would be located.
Ms. Raymond stated that the garbage will be in the garage.
COMMISSIONER COMMENTS: Ms. Greenwood stated that the updated windows are an
improvement to the project. Ms. Greenwood said that she is in total favor of the solar panels and
that the project looks really nice. Ms. Greenwood stated that she is in favor of all staff's
comments and would like to see this move forward.
Mr. Halferty stated he is pleased to see how the applicate applied HPC’s comments especially
the east-facing wall. Mr. Halferty said that he agrees with Ms. Greenwood and staff comments
and would like to see this move forward.
Mr. Moyer stated that he agrees with staff and should move forward.
Ms. Thompson stated that she agrees with comments and is in favor of solar panels.
Ms. Berko stated that she appreciates the redesign. Ms. Berko stated that she has a concern about
the window ratio and is fearful of too much light spilling out.
MOTION: Ms. Thompson motion to approve Resolution #12, Mr. Halferty seconded. Roll Call
Vote: Mr. Halferty; Yes, Ms. Thompson; Yes, Ms. Berko; Yes, Mr. Moyer; Yes, Ms.
Greenwood; Greenwood. All in favor motion carries.
Ms. Thompson left the meeting.
NEW BUSINESS: 611 West Main Street – Conceptual Major Development, Commercial
Design Review, Setback Variations, Relocation, Growth Management Quota System (GMQS),
Special Review, Transportation and Parking Management, and Certificates of Affordable
Housing. REPRESENTATIVE: Sara Adams from BendonAdams, and Garfield&Hecht.
Ms. Adams stated that 611 West Main Street is a locally designated landmark on a 9,000-sf lot in
the Mixed-Use zone district and the Main Street Historic District. Ms. Adams proposed that this
project will be 100% affordable housing. Ms. Adams stated that they will not be asking for
approval at this point, rather looking for design direction. Ms. Adams showed a five-point slide
outlining the proposed project. Ms. Adams stated that they will be seeking affordable housing
credits. Ms. Adams stated that two of the units will need a special review because they are below
grade. Ms. Adams stated they will be seeking a dimension variation for the distance between the
historic resource and the new addition. Ms. Adams stated that she has worked closely with the
Parks Dept. to identify the trees that need to be kept. Ms. Adams said there will be outdoor
6
REGULAR MEETING HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION MAY 27 2020
amenity space for the residence. Ms. Adams stated that parking will have to remain in the back
along the alley and is proposing seven spaces for nine units. Ms. Adams further explained that
the garbage and recycling will need to be along the alley as well. Ms. Adams stated that there
will be exterior storage for each unit. Ms. Adams showed a rendering of the units that are below
grade. Ms. Adams outlined that there will be a staircase and elevator access attached to the new
addition with zero distance between the proposed addition and the historic structure. Ms. Adams
outlined the individual floor plans. Ms. Adams stated that all the units are within the 20%
reduction of unit size and all units have their own private deck. Ms. Adams stated that special
review is needed for the units below grade, to ensure they are livable. Ms. Adams stated that
APCHA and her planning team did not agree on the number of FTEs going to be awarded to the
three-bedroom units. Ms. Adams explained that APCHA felt that the three-bedroom units should
receive less. Ms. Adams showed two visual aids of the elevation of the new addition compared to
the historic building. Ms. Adams asked a few questions for HPC to consider; if HPC would
support the design relating to materials and fenetrations, a zero distance between the historic
building and the new addition, a rear yard setback variation of five feet where ten feet is
required, the reduction in unit size within the 20% allowance, and finally if HPC would support
cash in lieu for the loss of two parking spaces.
Ms. Greenwood asked if to the addition was relating to form as presented.
Ms. Adams stated that they wanted to have the new addition have its own style while the three
levels tie into the historic element.
Ms. Greenwood asked if they could provide renderings of the back of the building.
Ms. Adams stated that they are in HPC’s packet.
Mr. Hecht stated that if the plans for the new addition roof were gables that it would compromise
the unit space inside.
Ms. Greenwood asked what does it mean when they say reduce the space between resource.
Ms. Adams stated that it’s the space between the back of the historic building and the front of
the new addition.
Ms. Berko asked if APCHA has requirements about unit size why would they support a
reduction.
Ms. Adams stated that APCHA guidelines are fluid and APCHA recognizes that. Ms. Adams
explained that is why APCHA allows for the 20% reduction.
Ms. Berko asked how community amenities would look like in a post-COVID-19 world.
Ms. Adams stated that they are proposing private decks, private storage, and a small bbq area
with limited seating.
STAFF COMMENTS: Kevin Rayes Community Development. Mr. Rayes reviewed the history
of the historic building and a review of the applicant’s proposal. Mr. Rayes showed a rendering
of the elevations of the proposed project. Mr. Rayes stated that one of the basement units is 67%
subgrade and the other is 52% subgrade. Mr. Rayes followed up by stating that APCHA would
like to see all subgrade units at 50%. Mr. Rayes stated that APCHA is requesting a reduction of
17% FTE credits. Mr. Rayes listed the bonus amenities that could help maintain or grant more
FTEs. Mr. Rayes stated that staff is very supportive of amenities on site. Mr. Rayes stated that
staff is very supportive of this project. Mr. Rayes said that staff feels that the units that are
smaller are adequately compensated with amenities. Mr. Rayes stated that staff supports a
reduction of FTE credits for the units that are below grade. Mr. Rayes said that the parking
spaces are in a mixed-use zone which dictates that 60% of parking must be on-site and that cash
7
REGULAR MEETING HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION MAY 27 2020
in lieu maybe provide for the remaining spaces. Mr. Rayes stated that the staff is very
comfortable with the seven spaces to provide and cash in lieu of the remaining two. Mr. Rayes
stated that there has been communication between staff and the applicant about TIA options.
Ms. Yoon stated that dimensional variations may be granted by HPC and are site-specific. Ms.
Yoon said that since this project is in a mixed-use zone, there is a requirement for the detached
structure to have at least a ten-foot separation between structures. Ms. Yoon pointed out that the
new addition being presented is in fact a detached structure. Ms. Yoon stated that this now
impacts the design review in two ways, first it triggers chapter 11 of design guidelines about
detached structure. Ms. Yoon showed the rendering of the new addition wrapping around the
historic building. Ms. Yoon points out that the third level of the new addition is, in fact, hanging
over the historic building. Ms. Yoon stated that staff would like a restudy on proximity between
the historic building and the new addition. Ms. Yoon stated that the design of the detached
structure needs to relate to the historic resource through two of the three elements: form, material
and fenestration. Ms. Yoon does not agree with the application that the form of the new addition
relates to the historic resource but finds that a relationship to materials is met. Ms. Yoon pointed
out that there is some flexibility in chapter 11 and urges the applicant to restudy fenestration to
meet the guidelines. Ms. Yoon stated that staff is recommending a continuance to restudy and
increase the distance between the new addition and the historic building, and the fenestration of
the new addition.
Ms. Greenwood asked if the units get credit for square footage from the storage units.
Ms. Adams stated that they don’t.
Ms. Greenwood asked if they were planning to increase between five to 10 feet.
Ms. Adams stated that it is correct that they are hoping for 5 feet, so they maintain the density.
Ms. Greenwood asked if it was approperate for HPC to be approving the size of building in
retaliations of FTE credits.
Mr. Rayes stated the HPC can reduce the number of credits a project receives. He reiterated that
HPC can also grant up to the allotted amount which is twenty-one.
PUBLIC COMMENTS: Mr. Rayes read two letters that were submitted by Mike Haisfield and
Jeff Sgroi attached to the minutes.
COMMISSIONER COMMENTS:
Ms. Greenwood stated that the existing historic resource has a strong form. Ms. Greenwood
further stated that the gambrel roof is a strong stand-alone roof and that could be used in a
modernized form. Ms. Greenwood said while the new addition is an interesting design it does not
belong next to this build. Ms. Greenwood stated that the applicant needs to go back to the
drawing board and rethink what would be compatible with this lot and neighborhood. Ms.
Greenwood stated that there are no materials or penetrations that link to the historic building.
Ms. Greenwood reiterated that the applicant needs to get inspiration from the historic build when
in the redesign. Ms. Greenwood stated that she is in favor of some separation between the
buildings. Ms. Greenwood said that she is in favor of a 20% reduction and that outside space is a
necessity, especially in a COVID-19 world. Ms. Greenwood stated that she is in support of cash
in lieu of the parking. Ms. Greenwood said she is in support of the staffs’ comments for going
back to the drawing board.
Mr. Moyer stated that this is an absurd scale and mass for this historic resource. Mr. Moyer
asked if a code change would be necessary. Mr. Moyer stated that he does not agree with the
8
REGULAR MEETING HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION MAY 27 2020
zero distance between the new addition and historic resource, he further explained that he would
like to see space between the two structures. Mr. Moyer stated that HPC needs to stop giving up
parking spots for projects. Mr. Moyer said that the proposed parking solution does not make
sense and will create more problems. Mr. Moyer stated that overall this project is too big, too
many units, and not enough parking. Mr. Moyer stated that it is not HPC’s job to design the
project.
Ms. Berko stated that we are walking a delicate balance and that everyone supports housing. Ms.
Berko said that HPC’s role is to protect historic resources and one cannot place a monster project
like this behind a special building like this. Ms. Berko stated that she will not be supporting any
design. Ms. Berko stated if a project needs all these variations, the project is simply too big.
Mr. Halferty stated that there is a need for affordable housing up and down the valley. Mr.
Halferty said that he agrees with the board that this project is too big. Mr. Halferty stated that he
likes what the applicant has done with the historic resource. Mr. Halferty stated that a zero-lot-
line to the rear is not feasible and would congest the area more. Mr. Halferty said he is in support
of a reduction of the size of units to help with how to condense it is in the west end. Mr. Halferty
stated that he is in favor of cash in lieu of parking however everyone has cars and uses them. Mr.
Halferty stated that the applicant needs to go back to the drawing board.
Ms. Greenwood stated that the new addition is dominating the historic resource and that HPC has
a real problem with that. Ms. Greenwood said that the historic building needs to be the focal
point and if the applicant can reduce the new addition size that goal can be met.
Mr. Hecht stated that the proposed project was a huge mess, he further explained that he
understands the comments and will do better. Mr. Hecht stated that he would like to investigate
the setbacks.
Ms. Greenwood stated that when a project receives set back that it is intended for the benefit of
the historic resource, not the new addition.
MOTION: Mr. Moyer moved to continue the public hearing of 611 West Main Street to July
8th Ms. Berko Seconded. Voice call vote. All in favor.
MOTION: Mr. Moyer motioned to adjourn; Ms. Berko seconded. All in favor, motion carried

Memorandum
TO: Aspen Historic Preservation Commission
FROM: Amy Simon, Interim Planning Director/Historic Preservation Officer
MEETING DATE: June 10, 2020
RE: 500 W. Main Street – Conceptual Major Development and Residential Design
Standards Review- PUBLIC HEARING
APPLICANT /OWNER:
500 West Main Street, LLC
REPRESENTATIVE:
Rowland + Broughton
LOCATION:
Street Address:
500 W. Main Street (address of
new home TBD)
Legal Description:
Lot R, Mesa Subdivision, City and
Townsite of Aspen, Colorado
Parcel Identification Number:
PID# 2735-124-43-008
CURRENT ZONING & USE
MU (Mixed Use)
Currently used as a garden
PROPOSED ZONING & USE:
Residential
SUMMARY: The applicant requests approval for Conceptual Major
Development and Residential Design Standards Review for a new
home on a lot created through a historic landmark lot split. The
property is currently used as a garden, associated with
Rowland+Broughton’s office. While approval was granted to
remove all development rights from the site via Transferable
Development Rights, the applicant is not required to do so and
has elected to build a home on the site instead.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff supports the project, however restudy is needed in order to
bring the project into alignment with parking and floor area
requirements, as described in this memo. The applicant may
submit a revision by noon on the day before the meeting, so that
HPC may decide to approve or continue the application.

REQUEST OF HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION (HPC)
The Applicant is requesting the following land use approvals:
• Major Development (Section 26.415.070.D) for Conceptual design approval.
• Residential Design Standards Variations (26.410.020.D Variation Review Standards) related to
Articulation of Building Mass and One-story Element. Please note that properties containing
historic resources are exempt from Residential Design Standards review. This site does not
qualify.
The Historic Preservation Commission (HPC) is the final review authority, however this project is subject
to Call-up Notice to City Council.
STAFF COMMENTS:
Staff finds that the historic preservation design guidelines are all met by this project, and the proposed
building is a good fit for the context. Staff supports a variation from the Articulation of Building Mass
standard in the interest of restricting the project to a one-story mass near the adjacent miner’s cottage.
Staff recommends the project be adjusted to meet the One-story Element design standard.
In preparing this review, it has been determined that a revision to the design is needed related to a
parking easement on the site. When the applicant received approval to subdivide the former 6,000
square foot lot in two, one of the required parking spaces for the office building was placed on the
subject residential lot, as were the transformer and trash storage needed for commercial use. The
transformer will of course remain where it is, but the trash will move behind the office building (details
to be finalized with Environmental Health) and the parking easement needs to be adjusted to create
room for the parking required for the house. It has been determined that the parking easement reduces
the lot size of both sites for the purpose of calculating floor area. In order to keep the office
development within the bounds of its approved floor area, only about a 2’ width of the parking easement
can be shifted onto that lot. The applicant is in the process of restudying the rear portion of the home
to accommodate the appropriate portion of parking easement. There will be an approximately 75 square
foot reduction of allowed floor area for the home that results from this situation. Because this is likely
to have some impact on site plan and form, staff recommends continuation of the project.
Please see Exhibits A, B and C for more detail.
REFERRAL COMMENTS:
The application was referred out to other City departments who have requirements that will significantly
affect the permit review. Relevant conditions of approval are included in the recommendation.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the Historic Preservation Commission grant Conceptual Major Development,
Relocation and Residential Design Standards approval with the following conditions:
12
Page 3 of 3
130 South Galena Street Aspen, CO 81611-1975 | P: 970.920.5197 | cityofaspen.com
1. The project must be adjusted to provide the parking easement that benefits the adjacent office
development in a manner that leaves the development on the office and residential lots in
compliance with all dimensional and building code requirements.
2. The project must be adjusted to comply with the One-story Element requirement of the
Residential Design Standards.
3. A variation from the Building Articulation requirement of the Residential Design Standards is
granted.
4. Coordination with the Engineering Department is needed on the following topics:
• If the sidewalk curb in gutter in front of the site are not new, the property will be required to
replace them per City of Aspen standards.
• In order for the drywell on Lot S to be used to treat stormwater from Lot R, drainage
easements, maintenance agreements and access to the infrastructure will need to be
addressed.
5. Coordination with the Building Department is needed on the following topics:
• Due to the proximity of the house to the egress stair on the west side of the office structure,
the east wall of the new house must have a 1 hour fire rating on both sides of the wall.
• Windows on this wall may need to be fire-rated, or a sprinkler system installed.
• Additional fire-proof construction may be needed adjacent to the transformer in the
northwest corner of the site.
6. Coordination with the Parks Department is needed on the following topics:
• During construction, to protect the cottonwood street trees, the front yard, up to the 10’
setback, must be barricaded with a 6’ fence with an attached fabric liner. A mulch bedding
may be required.
• The water line will need to be located as far east as possible to protect the street trees.
• Parks will need to consult on sidewalk, curb and gutter replacement, if they are to occur.
7. A development application for a Final Development Plan shall be submitted within one (1) year
of 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 Historic 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.

Townsite of Aspen, Colorado as follows. 14
HPC Resolution #__, Series of 2020
Page 2 of 3
Section 1:
The approval is subject to these conditions:
1. The project must be adjusted to provide the parking easement that benefits the
adjacent office development in a manner that leaves the development on the office
and residential lots in compliance with all dimensional and building code requirements.
2. The project must be adjusted to comply with the One-story Element requirement of
the Residential Design Standards.
3. A variation from the Building Articulation requirement of the Residential Design
Standards is granted.
4. Coordination with the Engineering Department is needed on the following topics:
• If the sidewalk curb in gutter in front of the site are not new, the property will be
required to replace them per City of Aspen standards.
• In order for the drywell on Lot S to be used to treat stormwater from Lot R,
drainage easements, maintenance agreements and access to the infrastructure will
need to be addressed.
5. Coordination with the Building Department is needed on the following topics:
• Due to the proximity of the house to the egress stair on the west side of the office
structure, the east wall of the new house must have a 1 hour fire rating on both
sides of the wall. Windows on this wall may need to be fire-rated, or a sprinkler
system installed.
• Additional fire-proof construction may be needed adjacent to the transformer in
the northwest corner of the site.
6. Coordination with the Parks Department is needed on the following topics:
• During construction, to protect the cottonwood street trees, the front yard, up to
the 10’ setback, must be barricaded with a 6’ fence with an attached fabric liner. A
mulch bedding may be required.
• The water line will need to be located as far east as possible to protect the street
trees.
• Parks will need to consult on sidewalk, curb and gutter replacement, if they are to
occur.
7. A development application for a Final Development Plan shall be submitted within one
(1) year of 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 Historic 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.

Exhibit A
Historic Preservation Design Guidelines Criteria
Staff Findings
26.415.070.D Major Development. No building, structure or landscape shall be erected, constructed,
enlarged, altered, repaired, relocated or improved involving a designated historic property or a property
located within a Historic District until plans or sufficient information have been submitted to the
Community Development Director and approved in accordance with the procedures established for
their review. An application for a building permit cannot be submitted without a development order.
3. Conceptual Development Plan Review
b) The procedures for the review of conceptual development plans for major development
projects are as follows:
1) The Community Development Director shall review the application materials submitted for
conceptual or final development plan approval. If they are determined to be complete, the
applicant will be notified in writing of this and a public hearing before the HPC shall be
scheduled. Notice of the hearing shall be provided pursuant to Section 26.304.060.E.3
Paragraphs a, b and c.
2) Staff shall review the submittal material and prepare a report that analyzes the project's
conformance with the design guidelines and other applicable Land Use Code sections. This
report will be transmitted to the HPC with relevant information on the proposed project and a
recommendation to 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 Historic
Preservation Design Guidelines.
3) The HPC may approve, disapprove, approve with conditions or continue the application to obtain
additional information necessary to make a decision to approve or deny.
4) A resolution of the HPC action shall be forwarded to the City Council in accordance with Section
26.415.120 - Appeals, notice to City Council, and call-up. No applications for Final Development
Plan shall be accepted by the City and no associated permits shall be issued until the City Council
takes action as described in said section.
Relevant Historic Preservation Design Guidelines:
1.1 All projects shall respect the historic development pattern or context of the block,
neighborhood or district.
• Building footprint and location should reinforce the traditional patterns of the neighborhood.
17
Page 2 of 4
• Allow for some porosity on a site. In a residential project, setback to setback development is
typically uncharacteristic of the historic context. Do not design a project which leaves no useful
open space visible from the street.
1.5 Maintain the historic hierarchy of spaces.
• Reflect the established progression of public to private spaces from the public sidewalk to a
semi-public walkway, to a semi private entry feature, to private spaces.
1.6 Provide a simple walkway running perpendicular from the street to the front entry on
residential projects.
• Meandering walkways are not allowed, except where it is needed to avoid a tree or is typical of
the period of significance.
• Use paving materials that are similar to those used historically for the building style and install
them in the manner that they would have been used historically. For example on an Aspen
Victorian landmark set flagstone pavers in sand, rather than in concrete. Light grey concrete,
brick or red sandstone are appropriate private walkway materials for most landmarks.
• The width of a new entry sidewalk should generally be three feet or less for residential
properties. A wider sidewalk may be appropriate for an AspenModern property.
1.7 Provide positive open space within a project site.
• Ensure that open space on site is meaningful and consolidated into a few large spaces rather
than many small unusable areas.
• Open space should be designed to support and complement the historic building.
1.8 Consider stormwater quality needs early in the design process.
• When included in the initial planning for a project, stormwater quality facilities can be better
integrated into the proposal. All landscape plans presented for HPC review must include at
least a preliminary representation of the stormwater design. A more detailed design must be
reviewed and approved by Planning and Engineering prior to building permit submittal.
• Site designs and stormwater management should provide positive drainage away from the
historic landmark, preserve the use of natural drainage and treatment systems of the site,
reduce the generation of additional stormwater runoff, and increase infiltration into the ground.
Stormwater facilities and conveyances located in front of a landmark should have minimal visual
impact when viewed from the public right of way.
• Refer to City Engineering for additional guidance and requirements.
18
Page 3 of 4
11.1 Orient the new building to the street.
• Aspen Victorian buildings should be arranged parallel to the lot lines, maintaining the traditional
grid pattern.
• AspenModern alignments shall be handled case-by-case.
• Generally, do not set the new structure forward of the historic resource. Alignment of their
front setbacks is preferred. An exception may be made on a corner lot or where a recessed
siting for the new structure is a better preservation outcome.
11.2 In a residential context, clearly define the primary entrance to a new building by using a front
porch.
• The front porch shall be functional, and used as the means of access to the front door.
• A new porch must be similar in size and shape to those seen traditionally.
11.3 Construct a new building to appear similar in scale and proportion with the historic buildings
on a parcel.
• Subdivide larger masses into smaller “modules” that are similar in size to the historic buildings
on the original site.
• Reflect the heights and proportions that characterize the historic resource.
11.4 Design a front elevation to be similar in scale to the historic building.
• The primary plane of the front shall not appear taller than the historic structure.
11.6 Design a new structure to be recognized as a product of its time.
• Consider these three aspects of a new building; form, materials, and fenestration. A project
must relate strongly to the historic resource in at least two of these elements. Departing from
the historic resource in one of these categories allows for creativity and a contemporary design
response.
• When choosing to relate to building form, use forms that are similar to the historic resource.
• When choosing to relate to materials, use materials that appear similar in scale and finish to
those used historically on the site and use building materials that contribute to a traditional
sense of human scale
• When choosing to relate to fenestration, use windows and doors that are similar in size and
shape to those of the historic resource.
19
Page 4 of 4
11.7 The imitation of older historic styles is discouraged.
• This blurs the distinction between old and new buildings.
• Overall, details shall be modest in character.
Staff Finding: The applicable chapters of the design guidelines are as follows: Site Planning and
Landscape Design, and New Buildings on Landmarked Properties.
Staff finds that the guidelines are all met. The new home sits between two historic resources; on the
east is the substantial false-front building that houses the applicant’s architecture firm and on the west
is a miner’s cottage which is part of an affordable housing development.
The architect has designed the new home to align with the face of the miner’s cottage. The landscaped
front yard is appropriate to the residential context on this end of Main Street. Stormwater needs are
proposed to be addressed through an existing drywell developed for the office building.
The new house meets the setback requirements and includes the two required on-site parking spaces.
The first floor plate aligns with the adjacent buildings, and the front porches create a strong relationship
between the buildings.
The second floor of the new home is recessed slightly to reduce the two story form’s presence next to
the one story miner’s cottage. The house features a gable roof, like the surrounding buildings and the
ridge height is lower than theirs. The preliminary material palette includes lap siding, typical of the
neighborhood.
Staff finds that the design guidelines are met and the proposed building is a good fit for the context.
In preparing this review, it has been determined that an adjustment to the design is needed, related to
a parking easement on the site. When the applicant received approval to subdivide the former 6,000
square foot lot in two, one of the required parking spaces for the office building was placed on the
subject residential lot, as were the transformer and trash storage needed for commercial use. The
transformer will of course remain where it is, but the trash will move behind the office building (details
to be finalized with Environmental Health) and the parking easement needs to be adjusted to create
room for the parking required for the home. It has been determined that the parking easement reduces
the lot size of both sites, for the purpose of calculating floor area. In order to keep the office
development within the bounds of its approved floor area, only about a 2’ width of the parking easement
can be shifted onto that lot. The applicant is in the process of restudying the rear portion of the home
to accommodate the parking easement and the resulting approximately 75 square foot reduction of
allowed floor area for the house that comes with it. Because this is likely to have some impact on site
plan and form, staff recommends continuation of the project. A restudy may also be submitted by noon
the day before the meeting.

Exhibit B
Residential Design Standards Criteria
Staff Findings
26.410.020.D Variation Review Standards. An application requesting a variation from the Residential
Design Standards shall demonstrate and the deciding board shall find that the variation, if granted
would:
1. Provide an alternative design approach that meets the overall intent of the standard as indicated
in the intent statement for that standard, as well as the general intent statements in Section
26.410.010.A.1-3; or
2. Be clearly necessary for reasons of fairness related to unusual site-specific constraints.
The proposed design would require variations from the Articulation of Building Mass, One-story
Element and Garage standards listed below.
B. Location and Massing.
1. Articulation of Building Mass (Non-flexible).
a) Applicability. This standard shall apply to all lots except:
(1) Lots outside of the Aspen Infill Area.
b) Intent. This standard seeks to reduce the overall perceived mass and bulk of buildings on a
property as viewed from all sides. Designs should promote light and air access between
adjacent properties. Designs should articulate building walls by utilizing multiple forms to
break up large expansive wall planes. Buildings should include massing and articulation that
convey forms that are similar in massing to historic Aspen residential buildings. This standard
is critical in the Infill Area where small lots, small side and front setbacks, alleys and historic
Aspen building forms are prevalent. Designs should change the plane of a building’s sidewall,
step a primary building’s height down to one-story in the rear portion or limit the overall
depth of the structure.
c) Standard. A principal building shall articulate building mass to reduce bulk and mass and
create building forms that are similar in scale to those seen in historic Aspen residential
buildings.
d) Options. Fulfilling at least one of the following options shall satisfy this standard:
1. Maximum Sidewall Depth. A principal building shall be no greater than fifty (50) feet in
depth, as measured from the front-most wall of the front façade to the rear wall. An
accessory building that is completely separated from the main building is permitted.
21
Page 2 of 5
Garages, sheds and accessory dwelling units are examples of appropriate uses for an
accessory building. See Figure 5.
2. Off-set with One-Story Ground Level Connector. A principal building shall provide a
portion of its mass as a subordinate one-story, ground floor connecting element. The
connecting element shall be at least ten (10) feet in length and shall be setback at least
an additional five (5) feet from the sidewall on both sides of the building. The connecting
element shall occur at a maximum of forty-five (45) feet in depth, as measured from the
front-most wall of the front façade to the rear wall. Accessible outdoor space over the
connecting element (e.g. a deck) is permitted but may not be covered or enclosed. Any
railing for an accessible outdoor space over a connecting element must be the minimum
reasonably necessary to provide adequate safety and building code compliance and the
railing must be 50% or more transparent. See Figure 6.
22
Page 3 of 5
3. Increased Side Setbacks at Rear and Step Down. A principal building shall provide
increased side setbacks at the rear of the building. If the principal building is two stories,
it shall step down to one story in the rear. The increased side setbacks and one story step
down shall occur at a maximum of forty-five (45) feet, as measured from the front-most
wall toward the rear wall. The increased side setbacks shall be at least five (5) feet greater
than the side setbacks at the front of the building. See Figure 7.
4. One-story Element (Flexible).
a. Applicability. This standard shall apply to all lots except:
1. Lots with a required front yard setback of at least ten (10) vertical feet above or
below street grade.
b. Intent. This standard seeks to establish human scale building features as perceived
from the street and express lower and upper floors on front façades to reduce
perceived mass. Designs should utilize street-facing architectural elements, such as
porches, that imitate those of historic Aspen residential buildings. Buildings should
provide visual evidence or demarcation of the stories of a building to relate to
pedestrians. This standard is important in all areas of the city. Front porches or
portions of the front-most wall of the front façade should clearly express a one-story
scale as perceived from the street. Changes in material or color can also be
incorporated into these elements to help to strengthen the establishment of a one-
story scale.
23
Page 4 of 5
c. Standard. A principal building shall incorporate a one-story element on the front
façade. Duplexes in a side-by-side configuration are required to have a one-story
element per dwelling unit.
d. Options.
1. Projecting One-Story Element. The front
façade of the principal building shall have a
one-story street-facing element that
projects at least six (6) feet from the front
façade and has a width equivalent to at least
twenty percent (20%) of the building's (or
unit’s) overall width. This one story element
may be enclosed living space or a front
porch that is open on three sides. This one
story element shall be a minimum of 50 square feet in area.
Accessible space (whether it is a deck, porch or enclosed area) shall not be allowed
over the first story element; however, accessible space over the remaining first story
elements on the front façade shall not be precluded. See Figure 10.
2. Loggia. The front façade of the principal
building shall have an open loggia that is
recessed at least six (6) feet but no more than
ten (10) feet from the front façade, and has a
width equivalent to at least twenty percent
(20%) of the building’s (or unit’s) overall width.
The loggia shall be open on at least two (2)
sides and face the street. This one story
element shall be a minimum of 50 square feet
in area. See Figure 11.
C. Garages.
4. Garage Door Design (Flexible).
a) Applicability. This standard applies to all residential development in the city that is subject to
the Residential Design Standards.
b) Intent. This standard seeks to promote a streetscape that maximizes visual interest by
minimizing unarticulated expanses of garage doors. Garage doors that utilize increased
articulation, changes in façade depth and profile of materials, windows and other features to
break up the garage door should be prioritized. This standard is critical for any property
where garage doors are visible from the street.
Figure 10
Figure 11
24
Page 5 of 5
c) Standard. A garage door that is visible from a street or alley shall utilize an articulation
technique to break up its façade.
d) Options. Fulfilling one of the following options shall satisfy this standard:
(1) Two Separate Doors. A two-car garage door shall be
constructed as two separate doors. See Figure 18.
(2) Appearance of Two Separate Doors. A two-car garage
door shall be constructed with one door that is designed
to appear as two separate doors by incorporating a vertical
separating element that is at least one (1) foot in width.
Staff Finding: The house is a rectangular footprint that occupies the entire building envelope. The
second floor of the building has reduced mass at the front and rear of the building.
The design does not create a break in the sidewalls in the manner required to meet the standard, but it
does meet the intent of the standard by maintaining a one story height at the ends of the building where
the structure interfaces with the public. Staff finds that the upper floor setback as designed is a
successful response to the adjacent miner’s cottage. If the upper floor was brought forward, the design
would come close to meeting the option to have an unbroken mass that is no more than 50’ in length as
measured from the frontmost wall (it would be 52’ in length), but again, staff finds that would be
counterproductive to creating a sympathetic relationship to the one adjacent story historic building. In
this case, any one-story step down is best located at the front of the structure. Staff supports a
variation to this standard.
Regarding the requirement for a one-story element, the project features a porch, which is appropriate,
but some of the usable deck space on top of the porch makes it non-compliant with the language of this
design standard. The applicant could pull their usable deck back approximately 1’, and/or reconfigure
it so that it does not sit on any part of the required width (20% of the front façade), depth (6’) or minimum
square footage (50 square feet) of the porch below it. Staff recommends the applicant adjust the
design to comply with this standard.
The proposed design does not meet the garage door standard, which requires that a two stall door be
designed to at least appear to be a pair of single stall doors. Staff expects this standard may be met
once the applicant redesigns the rear of the building to adjust the parking easement.

MEMORANDUM
Project: Mesa Store, 500 W. Main Street – Residential Design Standards,
Insubstantial Amendment, Trash Storage, Major Development
Subject: Project Description
Date: 28 May 2020
500 West Main Street, LLC is requesting review and approval of a new single-family home for the lot
adjacent to the Mesa building, located at 500 W. Main Street, Aspen, Colorado.
Land Use Summary:
• Floor Area:
o Allowed FA for Single-Family Residence for 3,000 SF Lot: 1,920 SF
o Proposed FA: 1,920 SF
• Residential Design Standard Variations Requested:
o Articulation of Building Mass (non-flexible)
o Non-Orthogonal Window Limit (flexible)
• Administrative Approvals:
o Trash and recycling
o Parking easement
Responses to Review Criteria:
• 12.10.030 Space Required for Trash and Recycling
o The existing Commercial building, the Mesa Building, will have the trash and recycling
relocated from Lot R to the rear of the building, fac ing the alley. The space provided is a
minimum of twenty (20) linear f eet adjacent to the alleyway must be reserved for trash
and recycling facilities. The required area shall have a minimum vertical clearance of ten
(10) feet and a minimum depth of ten (10) feet at ground level is provided.
• 26.304 Common Development Review Procedures
o The project will follow the Common Development Review Procedure requirements.
• 26.410 Residential Design Standards
o The new residence will create a bridge between the Mesa Store building to its east and the
single-story historic residence to its west. Historically, a single-story, false-front storefront
occupied the site. See the historic image below.
o Location and Massing (non-flexible):
▪ We believe that the proposed residence meets the intent of the RDS by reducing
the overall perceived mass and bulk of the building by creating a single-story
element on Main Street.
▪ The design is meeting the intent of the RDS by:
• Breaking the massing on the second floor at both Main Street and the alley.
• The use of material articulation between the first and second floor break the
2-story massing up.
▪ We are requesting a variation from this standard by extending the side wall depth
beyond the 45’-0” + linking element. We do not believe this RDS requirement
26
Page 2 of 3
works with the density of this block. The prominence of the Mesa Building, and the
singularity of the side wall depth, led us to this design solution. The two buildings
are unified in the site relationship, with the residence reduced in mass and scale.
o Non-orthogonal Window Limit (flexible):
▪ The façade requiring this variation is setback 21’-0” from the property line with a
wall of glass doors and windows. Since this is a gable form, there are more than
one non-orthogonal windows.
• 26.415.070.d Historic Preservation – Major Development
o This application is for a new single-family home located between two historic resources.
o The design intent is to relate and reference the commercial and residential neighbors,
while being of this time.
o The building materials proposed include:
▪ Painted Wood or Hardi -Board – Color TBD
▪ Exposed Steel Structure
▪ Wood Windows and Doors
▪ Metal Standing Seam Roof
o The building form is a simple gable with single story elements on Main Street and the
Alley. 27
Page 3 of 3
▪ We believe this is the respectful solution for the single st ory residence to the
west, while allowing an opportunity to reveal and deconstruct the concept of the
false store-front, which as you can see from the image above is a gable with a
vertical face to the street.
▪ By simplifying the building mass and reducing the scale from the street, we
believe we have achieved a solution most appropriate for the con text.
• 26.480.080.b Insubstantial Subdivision Amendment
o The project will follow the Common Development Review Procedure requirements found in
Section 26.304.030
• 26.575.020 Calculations and Measurements
o Lot Area: 3,000 SF
o Floor Area: 1,920 SF
o Building Height: 22’-11” proposed
• 26.710.180 Mixed Use Zone District
o The character of Main Street includes a mix of commercial, residential and lodging. The
block of our project is primarily residential with the high-profile Mesa Store commercial
building anchoring one corner.
o Free-market residential is a permitted use.
o 3,000 SF Lot Area minimum for Residences.
o All applicable setbacks and dimensional requirements are met. No variations requested.

Residential Design Standards
Administrative Review
Section 26.410.020.B. of the Land Use Code requires an Administrative Review for compliance with the Residential Design Standards (RDS) for
all residential projects, unless otherwise exempted pursuant to Section 26.410.010.C.
All residential projects affecting the exterior of the building shall submit for RDS Administrative Review prior to building permit submittal. If
exterior work is proposed, and the scope of work meets one of the exemptions listed above, staff shall provide a signed exemption form to be
included in the building permit application.
Review Process:
The Community Development Department staff shall review an application for applicability and compliance with Chapter 26.410, Residential
Design Standards. If the application complies with all applicable standards as written, a signed Checklist and stamped plan set shall be provided
to the applicant to be included with building permit submission.
If the application does not comply with one or more applicable standards, an unsigned Checklist and redlined plan set shall be emailed to the
applicant including comments from staff on which standard(s) the application does not comply with and a description of why the standard(s) is
not compliant. The applicant shall be provided the opportunity to revise and resubmit the design in response to the comments. Staff will keep an
application open for 30 days from the date an unsigned Checklist is emailed to the applicant. If after such time no revisions are submitted, the
application will expire.
Application for RDS Administrative Review:
An application for RDS Administrative Review that DOES NOT require Alternative Compliance (see Page 2) shall be submitted to the Community
Development front desk on a USB drive or emailed to planneroftheday@gmail.com. Applicants will be notified of received application by email
and if additional documents are required. Certain application requirements may be waived by staff depending on the scope of work.
An application for RDS Administrative Review shall include the following documents in digital format:
• Site improvement survey certified by a registered land surveyor (no older than one year from submittal date)
• Proposed Site plan (scaled 24”x36”)
• Proposed Floor plans (scaled 24”x36”)
• Proposed Elevations (scaled 24”x36”)
• Existing Elevations if a remodel (scaled 24”x36”)
• Complete scope of work noting all exterior areas affected by the proposed project
• Complete RDS applicant checklist (attached) addressing how each standard is met with sheet references for each standard
Page 1 of 2
41
Alternative Compliance or Variation:
Pursuant to 26.410.020.C, projects that do not meet the criteria for Administrative Review or Alternative Compliance (as determined by staff)
may be reviewed by the Planning & Zoning Commission, or HPC if appropriate, at the applicant’s request. An applicant may choose to apply
directly for a Variation from the Planning & Zoning Commission or Historic Preservation Commission, pursuant to Chapter 26.410.020.C.
A pre-application summary will be required for an Alternative Compliance or Variation request.
Application for Alternative Compliance or Variation:
An application for Alternative Compliance or a Variation will require a pre-application summary provided by Community Development staff,
and shall be submitted as a Land Use Application. Required application submittal items shall be outlined in the pre-application summary.

RE: Lot R Drainage in Mesa Subdivision
High Country Engineering, Inc. has reviewed the potential development of Lot R of the Mesa
Subdivision and utilizing the existing stormwater infrastructure of Lot S.
Lot R and S were evaluated together with the drainage report submitted for the remodel to the
historic Mesa Store, as part of the proposed construction included Lot R. The drainage
infrastructure designed and installed for the Mesa Store project should allow additional Lot R
drainage to be feasibly incorporated into Lot S. The existing drywell, which already receives a
small portion of Lot R drainage, should have capacity for both lots because the drywell was sized
to meet the City of Aspen’s minimum requirements. If Lot R and Lot S were almost completely
(95%+) impervious, the existing drywell capacity should be adequate to meet the City of Aspen
water quality standards, assuming the stormwater from Lot R can be conveyed to the drywell.
HCE has provided this document regarding the Lot R development to provide a preliminary
review into combining Lot R and Lot S drainage. We believe the existing drainage infrastructure
of Lot S can receive Lot R drainage while meeting the City of Aspen stormwater management
plan. Incorporating the two Lots into one system would alleviate the impact of installing
unnecessary stormwater infrastructure and still provide sufficient stormwater treatment.
Please let me know if you have questions or comments. Feel free to contact me if you require
any additional information.
Sincerely,
Roger Neal, P.E.

PRE-APPLICATION CONFERENCE SUMMARY
PLANNER: Amy Simon, amy.simon@cityofaspen.com
DATE: April 20, 2020
PROJECT LOCATION: 500 W. Main Street, Lot R, Mesa Subdivision
REQUEST: Residential Design Standards, Insubstantial Subdivision Amendment, Trash Storage, Major
Development
DESCRIPTION: Lot R, Mesa Subdivision is a 3,000 square foot lot located in the Mixed Use zone district
and the Main Street Historic District. The property was created through a historic landmark lot split and is
currently developed with a garden, plus parking and trash storage related to the adjacent office building.
At the time of the historic landmark lot split, the property owner received approval to sever Transferable
Development Rights from the site, but has decided to develop a single-family home instead. The maximum
floor area is 1,920 square feet. The development is not eligible for any dimensional variations from HPC,
other than those that may be requested through a determination of hardship, which would be difficult to
establish. To accommodate the house and two required on-site parking spaces within the dimensional
requirements the applicant needs to pursue two Administrative approvals; approval from Environmental
Health to move the trash storage area that sits on Lot R but serves the commercial use on Lot S, and
approval by the Community Development Director to shift a parking easement that is currently on Lot R
but serves Lot S so that it straddles the common lot line.
The project must comply with the Residential Design Standards, or receive approval for any variations. It
is anticipated that the applicant will request relief from Articulation of Building Mass and Non-orthogonal
window limit. The Administrative Residential Design Standards Checklist is to be submitted as part of the
application. This will allow the RDS review to either be approved if the home is compliant or will allow for
any guideline exceptions that are necessary to be folded into the HPC review.
HPC review will be a two step process. Conceptual Design review will consider mass, scale and site plan.
Following Conceptual, staff will inform City Council of the HPC decision, allowing them the opportunity to
uphold HPC’s decision or to “Call Up” aspects of the approval for further discussion. This is a standard
practice for all significant projects. Following Call Up, HPC will conduct Final Design review to consider
landscape, lighting and materials.
HPC will use the Historic Preservation Design Guidelines and the Land Use Code Sections that are
applicable to this project to assist with their determinations.

Subject:500 W. Main Development Letter of Support
Date:Wednesday, May 27, 2020 9:28:13 PM
Good evening Amy,
My wife I own a unit at the Christiana condominiums across Main St. from the proposed development. Our unit is
on the corner and overlooks the subject property. We received the applicants proposal and are writing in support of
their project. We believe its design intent compliments the Mesa building and surrounding buildings, and is also a
complimentary use for the area. We support the project moving forward and hope to see it come to fruition.
Best regards,
Chris Horne
