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. ASPEN HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION JAN. 22~ 1997 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.

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. 3 ASPEN HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION JAN. 22, 1997 MOTION: Roger moved to grant final approval for the new trustee town homes as presenteddanuary 22, 1997 to include exhibits one, two and six; second by Sven.

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.
