City of Aspen
Temporary Use Application
The Aspen Art Museum is applying for a temporary use permit for an office trailer. They would like to move two off-site office personnel from the Red Brick School on site to the Existing
Art Museum. The current building is not large enough to accommodate the number of staff required on site.
We are proposing an 8 x 28 temporary office trailer on a minor leveling pad with electrical and telephone hook ups. We are proposing to locate it adjacent to the North-west corner of
the existing building. We feel that this location will have the smallest amount of impact on the site.
We are also proposing a small gravel addition to the existing concrete parking lot to help offset the need for parking. However, since the new relocated staff is already in the city
(Red Brick Building) there shouldn’t be any additional parking required by the new staff members since they walk to work rather than commute.
Thank you for your consideration,
Sincerely,
Charles L. Cunniffe, AIA
Principal

Dear Aspen City Council Members;
As you know, the Aspen Art Museum is planning a building expansion sometime in the near future. While we still have a lot of work to do before initiating a capital campaign, we are
in immediate need of additional office space. We have survived with our current office space of 900 square feet by utilizing satellite office spaces and outsourcing whenever possible.
With the arrival of our new Director, we would like to bring all AAM staff functions in house in order to maximize our efficiency. This will require thirteen workspaces.
We considered several options to create additional office space without cannibalizing any of our current exhibition space. Our options were limited due the historic status of the museum
and budget constraints. We believe our best solution is to utilize a modular office on the museum grounds until we complete our building expansion.
Attached is our temporary use application for your consideration. Additionally, we would like to request a waiver of the $1,510 application fee given that we are a non profit organization
located on City of Aspen property.
Benton construction has offered to donate a remodeled temporary construction office to the museum. Consequently, your assistance in expediting the approval process will be greatly appreciated.
If you have any questions regarding the application, please contact Jason Oldfather at Charles Cunniffe Architects at 925-5590. Any questions regarding museum operations should be directed
to Dara Coder at the Aspen Art Museum at 925-8050.
We are very hopeful that you will give our request your favorable consideration.
Respectfully Submitted,
Dara Coder
Assistant Director for Finance and Administration
