APPROVING AN APPLICATION FOR MINOR DEVELOPMENT FOR 424 E.
COOPER, CITY AND TOWNSITE OF ASPEN, COLORADO
PARCEL ID: 2737-182-16-011
RESOLUTION NO. 31, SERIES OF 2000
WHEREAS, the applicant, Braunthal Associates, represented by Richard Braunthal,
requests minor HPC approval to remodel the restaurant space at 424 E. Cooper Avenue,
City and Townsite of Aspen. The property is located in the Commercial Core Historic
District; 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.B.4 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 would extend into front yard, side yard and
rear yard setbacks, extend into the minimum distance between buildings on the lot,
exceed the allowed floor area by up to five hundred (500) square feet, or exceed the
allowed site covered by up to five (5) percent, HPC may grant necessary 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 26.520.040(B)(2).
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 Guthrie, in her staff report dated June 14, 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 June 14, 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 7 to 0.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED:
That minor development for the property located at 424 E. cooper Avenue, City and
Townsite of Aspen, as presented at the June 14, 2000 meeting, be approved with the
following conditions:
1. There shall be no deviations from the exterior elevations as approved without
first being reviewed and approved by HPC staff and monitor.
2. The applicant shall be required to provide the contractor with copies of the HPC
resolution applicable to this project. The contractor must submit a letter
addressed to HPC staff as part of the building permit application indicating that
the conditions of approval are known and understood and must meet with the
Historic Preservation Officer prior to applying for the building permit.
3. 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 14th day of
