There needs to be a little more discussion of the site design and the tree plantings. Ryan said the dimension etc. have remained the same since conceptual. They tweaked windows in the cabin. The roof will still have vertical lines. The exterior materials are being picked up from the cabin. The cabin is ASPEN HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION MINUTES OF, APRIL 24, 2002 clapboard siding and shingles and all the clapboard will be cleaned up and kept as they are and painted. There will be places that will need replication of the clapboard where they don't exist such as the comers, The color will be a neutral off white color with white trim and black windows. The roofs will be flat metal roofs, dark gray mat. There is currently a stone foundation and on the new foundation it will be a stone veneer only on the cabin and not the addition. Drew said they are not planning on planting trees directly in front of the cabin although there is a 120 year old maple tree. There are two prominent trees on the lot that will be kept. There maybe a tree planted in front of the addition. Amy inquired about rolled asphalt for the miner's cottage and is it durable enough. It might look more like the original and it might be better to have the roofs different, Drew said he would wood single the miner's cottage and at one point the cabin had wood shingles. Shingles would help distinguish the two buildings. Chairperson Suzannah Reid opened the public hearing. Stewart Lusk, neighbor was sworn in. Stewart said the maple tree has been chopped off and wanted to know if it was an importantee. Drew said the maple tree is on the city right-of-way. The Parks Department said the maple has to stay.

Main St. - Final Approval - Variances - Public Hearing Sworn in: Elizabeth Haley Dodge, owner and Barbara Long, architect Amy relayed the concerns from conceptual: Fenestration and donners proposed for the garage. The architect has addressed all of those issues. Staff as two concerns for tonight. On the historic house there is currently a donner on the west and one is proposed to be added to the east side and the ridge height of the two dormers do not align. Symmetry is a characteristic of the building and it is a very simple roof. All of the windows have been previously removed on the east side of the building and staff discussed with the applicant if there was a possibility of restoring one of them due to the length of that wall. Barbara said the dormer is going to be an office and the egress requirements are different and they can make the two dormers identical sizes. Regarding the window being added to the east side the applicant can go either way. On the west elevation they proposed dormers windows and would like to make those smaller that in the elevation. Chaireprson Suzannah Reid opened and closed the public hearing. Amy said they are also asking for a one-foot variance for the offset of the garage. The board was in favor of the reduction in size of the windows and lowering the dormer. MOTION: Jeffrey moved to approve Resolution #15, 2002for 633 W. Main St. Lot A, Block 25, City and Townsite of Aspen, Colorado with conditions 1 - 11 and condition 12, no eastern window on the historic resource; second by Gilbert.

Hallam Street - ConCeptual, Partial Demolition, Variances Affidavit of'posting entered into the record as Exhibit I. Sworn in: Peter Rispoli Amy relayed that the house is a 1 ½ storY building and has been altered in the back with a turret tower piece and a carport which will be demolished. In the back yard an addition is proposed and has held the plate height d°wn very low. There are nice connecting pieces throughout the project and simple roof forms. There are a £ew variances requested. The design is very good and the original windows on the ~ront porch are intended to be restored. Staff £eels the bonus is justified because the additi°n doesn't in any way create a situation that overwhelms the historic structure. Pete Rispoli walked the board through the model. The Victorian built in 1 $89 is about two feet away £rom the property line on the northwest corner of the lot. The plate heights were kept at three feet t° match the original. They enjoyed the back yard but need to expand for practical reasons. Suzannah told the board that as the applicant uncovers the existing porch structure, Amy will review that and make a determination as to what needs removed and what needs to be retained and reconstructed. Pete said a shed dormer was added in the 70's. Regarding the porch it has already been fixed once and there should not be a lot of'historic material disrupted. The variances include the back and side yard for the existing house and FAR bonus. Chairperson Suzannah Reid opened the public hearing. Amy said the concern of' the owner of' the vacant lot next door, Claire and Reed Stillwell, is the overall ef't'ect of' the sunlight upon their property.
