Parcel ID # 2737-182--16-011
Resolution No. _56_, Series of 2000
WHEREAS the applicants, Mark Allan Bidwell, Jeanine Ann Bidwell,
and Michael Anthony Bidwell, represented by Graeme Means, have requested
minor development approval to add two (2) windows to the east facade of a non-
historic building at 484 East Cooper Street, City and Townsite of Aspen; 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 InfKl Program for
detached accessory dwe]]ing 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.
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.
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, Community Development Staff, in a staff report dated
November 15, 2000, performed an analysis of the application based on the
standards, found favorably for the application, and recommended approval with
conditions; and
WHEREAS, at its regular meeting on November 15, 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
5 to 0 .
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED:
That minor development for the property located 484 East Cooper Street, City
and Townsite of Aspen, as presented at the November 15, 2000 meeting, be
approved with the following conditions:
1. There shall be no deviations from the architectural designs or materials as
approved without first being reviewed and approved by HPC staff
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 all conditions of approval are known and understood and
must meet with the Historic Preservation Officer prior to applying for the
building permit.
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 15th
