MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Torre and Aspen City Council
FROM: Amy Simon, Interim Planning Director/Historic Preservation Officer
THRU: Phillip Supino, Community Development Director
MEETING DATE: December 8, 2020
RE: Resolution #104, Series of 2020, 211 W. Hopkins Avenue Extension of
AspenModern Voluntary Landmark Designation Negotiation Period
SUMMARY: On October 2, 2020, Community Development declared complete an application for
AspenModern historic landmark designation related to 211 W. Hopkins Avenue. This initiated a
Land Use Code-mandated 90-day timeframe within which the review process and negotiation for
any site-specific preservation benefits is to be finalized between the applicant and City Council.
Prior to Council review, designation requires recommendations from HPC. Busy agendas in front
of that board, and the fact that the discussion was continued once for restudy of the design of
proposed new development on the property will not allow conclusion of the review before the 90-
day negotiation period runs out on December 31st, 2020. While First Reading, scheduled for
December 8, 2020 will occur during the 90-day window prescribed by code, Second Reading will
not, therefore an extension is necessary. Second Reading of the historic designation ordinance
at City Council is currently scheduled for January 12, 2021.
Staff and the applicant request Council extend the negotiation period by 30 days, to January 30,
2021. Additional extensions may be granted by Council if necessary, if the applicant is amenable.
APPLICANT: Matt Joblon, 205 S. Detroit Street , Suite 400, Denver, CO 80206, with the consent
of property owner Vaughan Capital Partners, LP.
PROJECT ADDRESS: 211 W. Hopkins Avenue, Lots F and G, Block 53, City and Townsite of
Aspen, Colorado, Parcel ID#2735-124-63-003.
PROPOSED MOTION: “I move to approve Resolution #104, Series of 2020, extending the
AspenModern negotiation period for 211 W. Hopkins Avenue to January 30, 2021.”
