RESOLUTION NO.~, SERIES OF 2000
WHEREAS, the applicant, the Hotel Aspen Condominium Owners Association,
represented by Reno Smith Architects, has requested conceptual design approval for the
property at 110 W. Main Street, a portion of Lot F, Lots G, H, I, and a portion of Lot O,
Lots P,Q, R, S, Block 58, City and Townsite of Aspen. The project involves adding a
third story to the existing building; 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 26.415.010.C.5 of the Aspen Land Use Code in order for HPC to grant approval,
namely:
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 where proposed development wood 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. In no event shall variations pursuant to this section exceed those
variations allowed under the Cottage Infill Program for detached accessory dwelling
units pursuant to Section 26.40.090(B)(2).
2. Standard: The proposed development reflects and is consistent with the character
of the neighborhood of the parcel proposed for development.
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.
Standard: The proposed development enhances or does not diminish from the
architectural character or integrity of a designated historic structure or part thereof;

WHEREAS, Amy Guthrie, in her staff report dated May 24, 2000, performed an analysis
of the application based on the standards, found favorably for the application, and
recommended approval with conditions; and
WHEREAS, at their regular meeting on May 24, 2000, the Historic Preservation
Commission considered the application, found the application to meet the standards, and
approved the application with conditions by a vote of 6 to 1.
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED:
That the review standards are met and HPC grants conceptual design approval for 110 W.
Main Street, a portion of Lot F, Lots G, H, I, and a portion of Lot O, Lots P,Q, R, S,
Block 58, City and Townsite of Aspen as presented at the May 24, 2000 meeting, as
follows:
The applicant should consider adding windows on the west elevation of the
addition as this piece may be visible from Main Street.
The HPC should make a recommendation to the Planning and Zoning
Commission to look very carefully at height and bulk issues on the West Bleeker
Street portion of this project. Height may be an even more significant problem
there, within the residential neighborhood. Additionally, there are three historic
homes in a row along that street frontage. The plans for the Hotel Aspen note two
70-80 foot tall spruce trees to be removed along West Bleeker Street, leaving the
new construction particularly exposed to view.
A lighting plan for the new addition and cut sheets for the exterior lighting
fixtures must be provided for final review.
All representations made by the applicant in the application and during public
meetings with the Historic Preservation commission shall be adhered to and
considered conditions of approval, unless otherwise amended by other conditions.

APPROVED BY THE COMMISSION at its regular meeting on the 24th day
of May, 2000.
