GALENA - GUCCI - WALL PARTIAL DEMOLITION Chris Bendon, planner relayed that the HPC did a site visit to look at the wall and apparently there was a fire years ago that effected the structural capabilities and the structural engineer feels that the wall should come down. 1) The wall could completely be restored using the same brick or brick from other parts of the building. 2) A steel bearing wall could be constructed with an exterior veneer of the old bricks. In this scenario, less of the original wall would need to be demolished. 3) The wall could be reconstructed with a stucco veneer over steel studs. Ted Guy, architect was sworn in and presented. ASPEN HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION MINUTES OF AUGUST S, 1998 Ted relayed that the area is about 13 feet. The brick wall would be like it was originally and the door would be taken out.
