CONDITION MET Review Criteria for 423 N. Second Street The applicant proposes to relocate the historic home and orient the front of the home to face North Second Street. The restored historic resource will be set on a new basement foundation. Summary of Review Criteria for Relocation Request Page 2 of 2 Staff Finding: This historic home was relocated to the current site in the 1950s and it was during this move that the front of the home was oddly oriented to face the alley. The applicant proposes to rotate the historic resource to restore a relationship to a street and has chosen to face Second Street, which is appropriate since the home faced a side street in its original location a few blocks away. Given the length of the historic home, this location also provides the most adequate area for a compliant connecting element and addition. The resource is proposed to sit on a new basement. The project appears to provide an appropriately scaled exposed foundation while keeping the new house within current height limits. Staff recommends the new foundation be clad with painted metal, or red brick or sandstone. The proposed buff color stone is not in character with Victorian properties in Aspen. The proposed location for the historic resource is found to be appropriate and the relocation greatly increases the historic integrity of the resource. The necessary letter from an engineer determining the resource capable of withstanding the relocation, and a financial assurance in the amount of $30,000 is identified in the resolution as a condition of approval and will be required prior to building permit submission. Staff finds the relocation criteria are met.
