STATEMENT OF QUALIFICATIONS
TO ASSIST THE CITY OF ASPEN, COLORADO
IN DEVELOPING ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN
GUIDELINES FOR THE ASPEN HISTORIC
PRESERVATION COMMISSION
Winter & Company proposes to assist the City of Aspen in developing design
guideiines for use by the Historic Preservation Corrunission in their review of
rehabilitation and new construction projects.
We envision that the design guidelines document will include the following:
. General design guidelines
These would provide basic preservation prin-
ciples for use city-wide where historic re-
sources are designated. They would incorpo-
rate nationally accepted standards but be cus-
tom-tailored to the resources in Aspen.
. Downtown design guidelines
This section would provide guidelines for re-
habilitation .and new construction for the
downtown historic district. It would focus on
the context of traditional commercial store-
front type buildings.
. Main Street design guidelines
This section would provide guidelines for re-
habilitation and new construction in the com-
mercial district along MainStreet. It would focus on adaptive use principles for
historic residential structures now converted to commercial uses and for
appropriate infill.
It is clear that the citizens of Aspen desire that its historic resources and
downtown be carefully managed to ensure revitalization and preserve its
character. This requires careful planning and thoughtful public discussion in
order to implement policies that will achieve this goal in a fair and reasonable
manner.
Some key features of our approach are:
. We help the community assess current regulations that may affect design
and determine how they may help achieve the desired character for the
city.
. We help the community define the visual assets that new designs should
respect.
. We engage the public in active workshop settings.
. We write design guidelines that are concise, practical and easy-to-use.

Development of Architectural Design Guidelines
2
The design guidelines will be a hands-on working document that designers,
residents, and property owners can use to develop design proposals that are
appropriate to the defined context. The guidelines will build on the city's long-
range vision and development policies, while also providing clarity for their
interpretation.
We will use a process for developing the design guidelines that we have
proven in a variety of communities throughout the country. The process
includes extensive public participation, through a series of hands-on work-
shops, focus group interviews, and on-site analysis. It will draw upon local
expertise to as-
sure that the
work will rein-
force other city
planning efforts.
We also will in-
clude creative
methods of illus-
trating potential
build-out sce-
narios.
PHASE ONE: IDENTIFY ASSETS A.c'lD ISSUES.
PHASE TWO: DEVELOP PRELIMINARY DRAFT.
PHASE THREE: DEVELOP INTERIM DRAFT.
PHASE FOUR: DEVELOP FINAL DRAFT & ADOPTION.
In a. typical pro-
cess, we will pro-
vide our services
in four phases:
PHASE ONE: IDENTIFY ASSETS A.c'lD ISSUES.
The purpose of this phase is help build an awareness of the historic resources
of the community, ar j to define goals for preservation in terms that the public
can embrace. This al.alysis also provides the foundation for any regulatory
tools that may follow.
PHASE TWO: DEVELOP PRELIMINARY DRAFT.
In this phase, we will develop an outline for the Design Guidelines, followed
by development and review of Draft #1.
PHASE THREE: DEVELOP INTERIM DRAFT.
In the third phase, we will develop Draft #2 and review with the client,
commission and public.
PHASE FOUR: DEVELOP FINAL DRAFT & ADOPTION.
In this phase, we will produce the final camera-ready Design Guidelines
document. We will present the document and be available to answer questions
at the adoption hearing.

WE INCORPORATE INTERESTS OF THE PRIVATE SECTOR.
Design improvement is everybody's business, and many components of the
potential guidelines will be implemented by the private sector. Tne guidelines
must therefore make practical sense for developers while maintaining com-
munity design goals.
WE ORGAi'\lIZE A COMMUNICATION SYSTEM THAT :\OIAXIiYIIZES
ACCESS TO THE CONSULTANTS.
One of the questions that a community faces in a design management process
is how to balance the value of "outside experience" with a sensitivity to local
needs. We address this issue by combining national expertise with regional
experience. A clear communication process is also required to assure that
community concerns and ideas can influence the planning in a timely manner.
This process includes:
· Well-planned field visits by
the consultants
We organize each trip in ad-
vance, and send materials
ahead for review so that meet-
ingparticipants arrive in-
formed. Each trip includes
work sessions with staff .and
appropriate city agencies or
boards, interviews with se-
lected individuals. and public
meetings. "Free time" is always
held in the schedule to allow for
walk-in, impromptu discus-
sions during field visits as well.

Development of Architectural Design Guidelines
s
which they can leammore about their environment, convey their own feelings
about its character and express their concerns about implementation mecha-
nisms. These sessions are lively and they always work!
We propose to organize the guidelin~s in a system that will provide consistent
policy citywide and also accommodate special considerations for individual
historic districts. First, a general set of guidelines will address basic preserva-
tion principles for historic resources. Then, separate sections will provide
guidelines for downtown and Main Street. These will address context and
include guidelines for new construction. The sections will be organized in a
standard format that will accommodate adding new districts in the future.
