Present were Roger Moyer, Mark Onorofski, Suzannah Reid, Gilbert Sanchez, Mary Hirsch and Jeffrey Halferty. Melanie Roschko and Susan Dodington were excused. MOTION: Roger moved to approve the minutes of March 26, 1997; second by Suzannah. All in favor, motion carried. ENTRANCE TO ASPEN NO MINUTES 203 S. GALENA- BRAND BLDG. Amy stated that Harley Baldwin wants to excavate for a basement. They are requesting to remove one of the store fronts temporarily and do soils testing to determine the excavation. Ted Guy, engineer stated that they have applied for a miscellaneous permit to allow them to remove the floor slab, excavate to the bottom of the existing foundation and do a series of soil borings to ensure that they can do a chemical grouting system for the shoring system. The basement will be placed under all of the building except for the restaurant. The restaurant area would not have a basement underneath it. Currently the entire basement would be used entirely by the gallery. If a restaurant is put in the basement and a door needed changed we might have to remove the door frame to get the maximum width for ADA access and then put a new door back inside four or five feet. At this point we do not know what we are doing. The basement is 80 feet east/west and 100 feet north/south. Part of the area was used as a gas station and it is confirmed that the old tanks have been taken out. Harley Baldwin, owner stated that the foundation isn't that great and doing this will stabilize it. He also mentioned the mural on the wall in the alley and would like to change the sign to a non-smoking ad. Roger stated that the owner can do anything on that wall he wants as long as it isn't advertising. ASPEN HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION APR. 23, 1997 The HPC thanked Harley for informing them of the project. 939 E. COOPER - Unit E - FINAL Jake stepped down. Roger chaired the meeting. Neil Ross, owner stated that this is the last of the five houses in the project to be approved. Amy stated that the two facades have less window openings and the entrance to the garage is off the alley. Roger stated as a pedestrian you would see the West elevation at an angle where the door faces into the courtyard. Suzannah stated the design was a big improvement. Neil stated that he was trying to get consistent with the beveled siding. He is using a composition shingle for the roof. Mark asked if the upper level was all vaulted ceiling and with the fascia how is the ceiling insulation being handled. Neil stated that it was reduced from the last meeting and the over-hang is two by four fascia but the roof joisting inside 2 by 12 and the insulation will be inside that. MOTION: Suzannah moved to approve final for 939 E. Cooper Unit E with the condition that materials be approved by Staff and monitor; second by Gilbert. All in favor, motion carried.

MAIN - MINOR DEVELOPMENT Amy stated that Mark and his wife bought the Stapleton property which at one time was going to be an office building. The house is about 1500 sq. ft. and the proposal is for a front porch. Amy stated that the porch wraps around the corner and they are scheduled to appear in front of Board of Adjustment to request a variance. Mark Pearson stated they might put a new door on because it is a single pane glass French door and they would like to replace the door with a double pane, something similar. The bay window in the front they would like to pop out a few feet. Amy stated that this building is not designated historic. Roger stated for clarification that the applicant is asking for the porch and porch roof and an encouragement for the side yard setback on the east side and to extend the little porch and dormer on the south side second floor. MOTION: Gilbert moved to approve the improvements presented on the south elevation of sheet A2 which include a new covered porch, the bay window, new deck, and the replacement of the existing window in the dormer to two doors and to send a letter of encouragement to support the setback variance of the porch that wraps around the east side as draw, second by Mark. All in favor, motion carried. BAANG CAFE - 325 E. MAIN Graeme Means stated that changes are modest and the front door is being changed to a revolving door. The door fits exactly into the opening that is there. The lights and trim are existing and will stay. There are three bays to the facade and they are proposing to put on barn door wood and they will roll to the center bay and open up into the side of the restaurant. On the alley there will be a metal canopy with live vegetation. Mary inquired if the live tree canopy in the alley would be flush with the building and what vegetation is proposed. 3 ASPEN HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION APR. 23, 1997 Graeme Means, architect stated that it would be coming off the building and down to the ground. Its purpose is to create a sense of enclosure. Mary stated that her concern is the vegetation and what the metal canopy would look like on the wall if the vegetation does not grow. Jake asked about the columns. Graeme stated that the column would be covered in wood and the metal doors slide by it. The sliding doors will have windows in them. Roger asked if the revolving door would protrude out from the existing doors. Graeme stated that there is a curved soffet that comes out over the door area which would protect the top of the revolving doors from the weather. Roger stated that the revolving door is a good solution instead of awning air locks. Jake asked what the detail would be of the metal doors. Graeme stated that he would supply the detail information. Gilbert stated that he would be concerned if it was a large sheet of metal with a pattern stamped in it. Jeffrey stated if it is not presented properly it could change the building. The brightness of the metal is important. The metal material would match the revolving doors. Amy stated that HPC doesn’t review color and they are proposing to change the color of the addition. MOTION: Suzannah moved to approve the minor development for 325 E. Main with the following condition that the metal detailing be submitted to Staff and monitor, second by Mary.
