RESOLUTION NO. ~55_, SERIES OF 2001
WHEREAS, the applicant, lnnsbruck Holdings LLC, represented by Mitch Haas of Haas
Land Planning and Dave Gibson of Gibson Architects, has requested conceptual
development approval and an exemption from the partial demolition standards to
accommodate an expansion of the Innsbruck Inn, a non-designated building within the
Main Street Historic District located at 233 West Main Street, lots A, B, C, D, and E,
Block 52, City and Townsite of Aspen, Colorado; 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 extcmd 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 26.520.
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.
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, development within the "H" Historic Overlay District may be exempted
form the standards of demolition and partial demolition upon determination by the
Historic Preservation Commission that the following criteria are met:
a. Standard: The structure is not identified on the Inventory of Historic Sites and
Structures.
b. Standard: The structure is considered to be non-contributing to the historic
district.
c. Standard: The structure does not contribute to the overall character of the historic
district, and its demolition, partial demolition, off-site relocation, on-site
relocation, or temporary relocation does not impact the character of the historic
district.
d. Standard: The demolition, partial demolition, off-site relocation, on-site
relocation or temporary relocation is necessary for the redevelopment of the
parcel.
e. Standard: The redevelopment or new development is reviewed by the Historic
Preservation Commission pursuant to Section 26.415.010.
WHEREAS, Chris Bendon, in his staff report dated November 28, 2001, performed an
analysis of the application based on the standards, and recommended approval of the
application; and,
WHEREAS, at a duly noticed public hearing and regular meeting on October 10, 2001,
and continued to November 28, 2001, the Historic Preservation Commission considered
the application, comments made by the applicant, comments offered by the general
public, found the application to meet the standards, and approved the application, by a
vote of seven to zero (%0).
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED:
That the HPC approves conceptual development and exemption from the standards of
partial demolition for the Innsbruck Inn Expansion, 233 West Main Street lots A, B, C, D,
