TO' City of Aspen Historic Preservation Commission
THRU: City of Aspen Planning and Zoning Commission
Joyce Ohlson, Deputy Director
FROM: James Lindt, Planner
RE: Little Red Ski Haus Design Referral
DATE: March 6, 2002
The Planning and Zoning Commission reviewed the proposed Little Red Ski Haus Lodge
Preservation PUD and expansion request at a public hearing on March 5, 20021 Several
members of the Planning and Zoning Commission and the public expressed concerns with
the design and the size of the proposed alley addition as it related to neighboring properties.
The Planning and Zoning Commission has asked that the HPC specifically review and
address in their final significant design review the following concern:
)~ The massing, bulk, and roof design of the proposed alley addition as it relates to
the neighbor's (across the alley) view planes. The Planning and Zoning
Commission approved the additional square footage (as requested by the
Applicant) for the express purpose of allowing the HPC the maximum design
~ flexibility in their review. The Planning and ZOning Commission would not be
._ · adverse to a redUction in the additiOnal square footage if the bulk-and-masS
concern on the alley side could be alleviated with less square footage. However,
the Planning and Zoning Commission does not favor a reduction of the proposed
on-site parking for the purpose of alleviating the bulk-and- mass concern; and,
The Planning and Zoning Commission approved the proposed PUD and expansion, but
have requested that the aforementioned issues get careful consideration by HPC. The
Applicant was put on notice at the Planning and Zoning Commission Hearing that the
design concerns were HPC's purview, and that the Planning and Zoning Commission felt
that it was inappropriate for P & Z to make any attempts at a redesign of the alley faCade.
