17 QUEEN STREET, HISTORIC LANDMARK LOT SPLIT -PH
Jake stepped down.
Roger chaired the meeting.
Vice-chairman Roger Moyer opened the public hearing.
Amy stated that this is an application for an historic lot split with the idea that
the historic house would be on the smaller lot. A site plan indicates the
location of the new lot line. The entire property is going to be designated so
the HPC will have full review. The total FAR that could be allocated to this
parcel for a duplex is 5289 sq. ft. The applicant is requesting the 500 sq. ft.
bonus and that will be allocated to the historic building as it stands now. The
total for that parcel will be 1289 sq. ft. which means you have the existing
building and a 170 sq. ft. more that could be used in the future which will be
used for a garage. The remainder of the FAR of 4500 sq. ft. will be allocated
to lot two. From that there will be a reduction of 57 sq. ft. due to the 30%
slope. All the standards have been met and Staff recommends that landmark
designated be completed and that the property be divided into one parcel of
6,032 sq. ft. and one of 15,129 sq. ft. (exhibit - 1).
Deanna Olson represented Jake Vickery stated that the square footage could
change a foot depending on the survey.
Ernst Capelli, neighbor ask when the garage is brought forward that they not
put it where the car is parked presently. It would be nicer to have it lower on
the lot in order to have the sidewalks cleaned.
Ken Owen, neighbor asked how many parking spaces would be off the street
on the smaller lot.

Amy stated every house has to have two on-site but historic landmarks can
have the parking waived.
Jane Owen, neighbor stated that she is concerned about the parking because
there is no parking right now. She understood that the garage would be the
answer to that.
Amy stated that is not the proposal tonight but it is in the future.
Ernst Capelli stated they don't have off street parking presently and the
project should be restricted to have off street parking.
Jane Owen stated that the street is narrow and there is no place for on street
parking and it is a big concern for the neighbors of what is being proposed.
Ernst stated off street parking should be enforced.
MOTION: Suzannah moved to approve an Historic Landmark Lot Split for
17 Queen Street with the following conditions:
· Landmark designation of the entire property, which is pending at City
Council must be completed.
· Based on the exhibit information presented today the property shall be
subdivided into one parcel of 6, 032 sq. fi. with an assigned FAR of 1,019
sq. fi. and a secondparcel of 15,129 sq. fi. with a maximum FAR of 4,500
sq. fi. The square footage may change slightly.

of the hill would not be disturbed. He also stated that when the review comes

#6 - 11 x 17
Amy stated that the proposal is consistent with what HPC saw at conceptual
with a few changes that mostly result from water line easements. A full set of
drawings and materials will be presented and Staff recommends approval as
submitted.
Gretchen Greenwood, architect stated that Unit 1, 10 and 11 are being
addressed. Since conceptual the units have been pushed back and roof
heights lowered. The general bulk of the buildings have been lowered due to
the easements. Window fenestration has been restudied to be more
compatible in design with the original structures. Unit one is surrounded by
easements. Unit one had to be moved down the slope 7 feet six inches and
five feet to the north. Negotiations regarding an easement with the Sanitation
Department are being done presently. The road will be regraded. Details of
the trellis have been submitted. The Planning and City direction was to have
the three buildings as compatible as possible with the existing town houses.
They are using the same shingles and similar comer boards which are ten
inches in width.
MacPherson stated that the homeowners want the three houses to be uniform
in color with the trustee town homes. Vertical wood siding is proposed and
probably a natural wood stain but that will be determined by the home
owners. The new sewer line that was just put in with the approved SPA was
placed right in the approved building site of unit one.
Gretchen stated that the front door will be wood and the doors off the living
room deck will be clad. The railing will be metal with the top piece wood
painted out.

406 E. HOPKINS - EXTENSION OF CONCEPTUAL
Assistant City Attorney David Hoefer stated that in Section 26.72.010
(F)(3)(c) of our code it states that limitation of an approval on a conceptual
4
ASPEN HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION JAN. 22~ 1997
development plan an application for final shall be filed within one year of the
date of approval of the conceptual development plan. Unless an extension is
granted by HPC failure to file such an application shall render null and void
the approval of the conceptual development plan previously granted by the
HPC. As the applicant has indicated the failure to get the extension was a
mistake; however, it is the attorney's understanding that the project has gone
forward and consequently there is no purposeful delay by the applicant.
The Assistant City Attorney also stated from a jurisdictional point if someone
in the community felt strongly against the project it could be contested as the
applicant failed to extend conceptual. The intent of the section of the code is
to keep someone working on a project and clearly that has been going on
here. It is a technical violation of the ordinance. Conceptual expired Aug.
23, 1996.
The attorney also stated if the applicant decides to go forward with extension
of conceptual the board needs to affirm conceptual and then grant the
continuation of conceptual to the original date which would be August 23rd
1997. He also indicated the other option would be to re-notice conceptual
and have a hearing.
David also stated that there have not been substantial changes of conceptual.
Charles Cunniffe, architect stated that he thought final has been submitted but
is requesting extension of conceptual.
MOTION: Roger moved that HPC extend conceptual approval of the Isis
Theatre 406 E. Hopkins from August 23, 1996finding that HPC as a board
reconfirm the conceptual approval granted August 23, 1995 and that there
were no significant changes during the interim period and that conceptual
extension is made until August 23, 1997, second by Mark. All in favor,
motion carried.
MOTION: Mark moved to adjourn, second by Susan. All in favor, motion
carried.
Meeting adjourned at 7:30 p.m.
