RESOLUTION OF THE ASPEN HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION
APPROVING AN APPLICATION FOR MINOR DEVELOPMENT TO REPLACE
AN EXISTING WOOD FRAMED GLASS DOOR WITH A SOLID GLASS DOOR
FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 427 E. HYMAN AVENUE, LOTS H, I,
AND SIX FEET OF LOT G, BLOCK 89, CITY AND TOWNSITE OF ASPEN,
ASPEN, COLORADO.
Parcel ID: 2737-
WHEREAS, the applicant, Karen Woodard, requests minor HPC approval to
replace an existing wood framed glass door with a solid glass door for a property located
at 427 E. Hyman Avenue, Lots H, I, and six feet of Lot G, Block 89, City and Townsite
of Aspen, Aspen, Colorado. The property is designated as a landmark and located in the
Commercial Core Historic Overlay District; and
WHEREAS, all development in an "H," Historic Overlay District or development
involving a property listed on the "Inventory of Historic Sites and Structures" 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:
1. 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 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 26.40.09003)(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, Staff initially 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 November 15, 2000, the Historic
Preservation Commission considered the application, found the application met the
standards, and approved the application with conditions by a vote of five to zero (5 - 0).
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED:
That this minor development request to replace an existing wood framed glass door with
a solid glass door for a property located at 427 E. Hyman Avenue, Lots H, I, and six feet
of Lot G, Block 89, City and Townsite of Aspen, Aspen, Colorado at the November 15,
2000 meeting be approved with the following conditions:
1) That the applicant agrees to utilize a contractor that has participated successfully
in the historic Preservation program Contractor Licensing Program; and
2)
That the applicant shall not install or use the proposed glass door in a mariner that
blocks the existing fire-exit door at the back of the wall of the landing in the
entranceway. Discussions with the City of Aspen Building Department indicated
any blocking of the fire-exit door presents a significant fire hazard and shall not
be permitted. The fire-exit door shall remain fully functional at all times; and
3) There shall be no deviations from the exterior elevations as approved without first
being reviewed and approved by HPC Staff; and
4)
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 the HPC Staff as to the building permit application indicating that all
conditions of approval are known and understood and must meet with the Historic
Preservation Officer prior to applying for the building permit; and
5)
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 the other
conditions.
APPROVED BY THE COMMISSION at its regular meeting on the 15th day of
November, 2000.
