The AH portion of the project has been withdrawn. On the site is the historic structure, garage and a shed. The garage was moved there in the 1930's and the shed was moved there in the 1940's. Staff feels the partial demolition standards for the removal of the addition on the back and the off- site shed relocation have been met. The on-site relocation of the garage is recommended with a bonding condition and a structural report at the building permit issuance time. The Board asked the applicant for the overall view of the site i.e. lot split etc. David Guthrie, potential owner stated that the design was for an AH component but that was withdrawn and the intention is an historic lot split with two small houses in addition to the historic house on the property. The historic house would need to be moved on the site. Mitch stated that the landuse code allows for an historic lot of 6,000 sq. ft. or more to have two detached residential units. With this lot being 11,100 sq. ft. you can have two units on one lot and a third on the second lot. The dimensional requirement for a minimum lot split is 3,000 per unit. The Board has concerns with the presentation without seeing the entire plan. 2 ASPEN HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION MINUTES OF December 17, 1997 Chair-person Suzannah Reid opened the public hearing. Carl Bergman stated that he moved to Aspen in 1963 and loves behind the proposed development and there was no alley there. There is a utility easement. He is against opening up that alley and the car and air pollution will increase. You are doubling the amount of cars. Katie Bergman stated it would not be easy to plow in that alley. It is presently difficult to plow Francis Street and she can't imagine how they will handle the alley. Francis Pierce replied she is against the alley as she lives there and the snow plow will be in her back yard. That alley will look like Durant, snow packed all year long. She is also concerned about putting three houses on 2 lots as it is advertised. Charlie Eckard neighbor stated that he lives in the Sagewoods and currently the parking is difficult. When Poppie's is open there is no parking. His concern is parking, increased noise etc. His other concern is the roof slope and how the snow falls onto his apartment. The alley is presently grass and no one drives down it. Chair-person Suzannah Reid closed the public hearing. Mitch relayed that the alley is plotted and a city right-of-way which has not been used over the years. The Streets Dept. will maintain the alley if it is brought up to standards.
