Amy,
I enjoyed reading about the Pan Abodes!
One item needs to be addressed for this property prior to HPC approval.
1. The proposed transformer shown on sheet L300 does not have adequate space. 10’ in depth
and 13’ in width needs to be provided for a 7’x7’ vault with 3’ clearances on the sides and
back. The plan sheet shows only 5’ from the property line to the building.
The following items will need to be addressed at building permit.
1. The proposed drywell must be 10’ from the neighboring property. A Geotech or structural
engineer must supply a stamped letter stating the drywell within 10’ of the proposed
structure and existing cabin foundation will have no adverse effects.
2. At building permit the project may be required to detach the existing sidewalk and install a
new sidewalk with a 5’ landscape buffer between the curb and sidewalk. The neighboring
property to the west has a current building permit and may detach their portion of the
sidewalk depending on existing tree constraints. If this happens the sidewalk at 211 W shall
also be detached.
3. At building permit the project will need to determine the water service line size and
configuration for the two buildings. Currently two service lines are proposed per sheet L300.
The water service line on the east runs under the dripline of the large spruce tree. The
excavation that close to the tree trunk will most likely kill the tree. This needs further vetting.
4. Foundation drywells are proposed in close proximity to the east spruce tree. Excavation
cannot take place within the dripline of the tree. It needs to be shown excavation can take
place to accommodate the foundation drywells without adversely affecting the tree.
Thanks!

Subject: Referral comments needed
Hello all,
Attached is a long-awaited application for historic designation of a 1956 Pan Abode
cabin located at 211 W. Hopkins Avenue. Designation of properties constructed in
Aspen after World War II is voluntary only and there has been off and on discussion
for years that this one would be demolished. Hopefully not! If you are interested,
here is a little info about Pan Abodes:
http://www.aspenmod.com/places/211-w-hopkins/
The property is still owned by the family that built the cabin. They are under contract
with a developer who will preserve the cabin (removing a small later addition.) They
are not adding a basement below it, so it will remain a very small structure.
Behind it they propose to construct a new detached home. This density is permitted
on a landmarked property. They are asking for a few special incentives related to the
designation. These are outlined in the application but include a floor area bonus/deck
area bonus, parking reduction, setback variations, tree removal permits and tree
mitigation fee waivers.
If you have any comments, please email them to me by Thursday, October 14th, so I
can troubleshoot with the applicant and work your preliminary thoughts into the review
process. Thank you! (Parks, thankd for your preliminary comments. I’ll follow up
with you.)
