Doug -
I have not responded as was waiting to find HPC ruling on whether side railings are
really required. Have not heard back yet. And based on the following, I am currently
unwilling to sign an application request without further clarification.
In examining the side entrance railings at the Wheeler/Stallard museum where I work I
found them the same height as ours with no complaints over many years.
The temporary middle railing at the Herron was installed several years ago to
accommodate Dianne’s knee surgery. Since that time I have had hip replacement
surgery and found the center railing an obstacle in maneuvering with crutches. Others
have complained it is equally difficult when carrying larger packages in/out and for
some deliveries. Since the City now requires the middle railing be removed that is
probably a mute point.
My recollection is that within the past year you sent an email stating the side railings
would require hiring an engineer, an architect, etc. before actual construction begins.
(Please correct me if I am wrong.) All these steps would be of considerable expense.
Beginning engineering costs alone would be minimally $2,000.
In view of our yearly assessment increases and without an updated budget on all
improvements needed at the Herron (which should be addressed at our proposed July
meeting), I strongly feel this application should be put on “Hold”.
Thanks.
Jane

Thanks Jim and the Mohr’s for responding to my earlier email. The city
REQUESTED we to go to the HPC when we replaced the entry stones and
added the handrailing on the entry steps. COVID slowed down the
process but they are now bugging us to get the paper work for this work
taken care of- as well as removing the temporary handrailing (non-
historic) on the entry steps. Your opinion on the need for a handrailing,
the design for the handrailing or anything else on the entry steps has NO
BEARING on the application. I need a majority of the owners to move the
application forward. So far I have myself, Jim Arden/Aspen Times and the
Mohr’s- three owners out of seven. I need at least one additional owner
to reply to either this or the earlier email to move the application
forward.
Someone please respond noting your approval for the application to be
submitted.
Thanks
DT

Subject: HPC authorization
All
As I believe you all know we have been asked to present an application for
a Hand railing/guardrail for the main entry off of main street to the HPC.
This is part of the original application for the replacement of the stones
from the sidewalk to the entry and the temporary handrail that has been
in place for the last couple of years. The application was filed last fall,
however, HPC determined that we need a document showing the
majority of the owners support the application. I have attached a generic
letter for everyone to review and sign that can be returned to the HPC.
Signing this letter does NOT indicate you are in agreement with what ever
is proposed for the code compliant Main entry way guard/hand railing.
This document allows the process to move forward and was originally
submitted with the temporary handrailing that is in place now.
Please sign or indicate I have your approval that the majority of the
owners support the application
Thanks
DT
