APIiROVING AN APPLICATIONFOR MINOR DEVELOPMENT,
BUT DENYING A VARIANCE REQUEST FOR THE PROPERTY
LOCATED AT 715 W. SMUGGLER STREET, ASPEN, COLORADO
RESOLUTION NO./'~//, SERIES OF 1997
WHEREAS the applicant, Ann Miller, represented by Deana Olsen, has requested minor
development review, including setback variances for the property located at 715 W.
Smuggler Street. The property is a designated historic landmark; and
WHEREAS all development in an "H," Historic Overlay District or development
involving a historic landmark must meet all four Development Review Standards of
Section 26.72.010(D) of the Aspen Land Use Code in order for HPC to grant approval,
namely:
I. Standard: The proposed development is compatible in general design,
massing and volume, scale and site plan with designated historic structures
located on the parcel and with development on adjacent parcels when the
subject site is in a "H," Historic Overlay District or is adjacent to an
Historic Landmark. For Historic Landmarks were proposed development would
extend into front yard, side yard and rear yard setbacks, extend into the minimum
distance between buildings on the lot or exceed the allowed floor area by up to five
hundred (500) square feet or the allowed site coverage by up to five (5) percent.
HPC may grant such variances after making a finding that such variation is more
compatible in character with the historic landmark and the neighborhood than
would be development in accord with dimensional requirements.
2. Standard: The proposed development reflects and is consistent with the
character of the neighborhood of the parcel proposed for development.
3. Standard: The proposed development enhances or does not detract from
the historic significance of designated historic structures located on the
parcel proposed for development or on adjacent parcels.
4. Standard: The proposed development enhances or does not diminish from
the architectural character or integrity of a designated historic structure or
part thereof; and
WHEREAS, Amy Amidon, in her staff report dated July 9, 1997, recommended denial
of the variance request; and
WHEREAS, a public hearing, which was legally noticed, was held at a regular meeting
of the Historic Preservation Commission on July 9, 1997, at which the Commission
considered and denied the variance request, but granting minor development approval for
a porch roof which did not encroach into setbacks, by a vote of 5 to I, finding that the
Engineering Department concerns related to snow shedding weke too significant to grant
a variance.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED:
That the minor development application for 715 W. Smuggler Street be approved for a
porch roof which does not encroach into required setbacks and that a setback variance be
denied for 715 W. Smuggler Street, Aspen, Colorado.
APPROVED BY THE COMMISSION at its regular meeting on the ~
o~, 1997.
