RESOLUTION NO.~ c//, SERIES OF 2002
WHEREAS, the applicants, Nancy and Guy Alciatore, have requested an amendment to
final approval for the property at 129 W. Francis Street, Lot B, Vickery Historic Lot
Split, Block 56, City and Townsite of Aspen. The amendment involves light fixtures and
an entry sidewalk; 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:
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 26.40.090(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.
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, the Historic Preservation Officer and the assigned monitors
reviewed the proposal and determined that it should be sent to the full board for review;
and
WHEREAS, at a regular meeting of the Historic Preservation Commission on June 26,
2002, the HPC performed an analysis of the requested amendment based on the standards
and found favorably for the proposed light fixtures, but required the sidewalk to be
redesigned so that it would be straight. The HPC, in a vote of 4 to 2 approved the
installation of light fixture "A", attached, and by a vote of 2 to 5 denied the installation of
the curved sidewalk, based on the City of Aspen's Historic Preservation Design
Guidelines.
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED:
The Historic Preservation Commission grants approval for an amendment granting the
installation of light fixture "A" and requiring the entry sidewalk to be redesigned so that
it is straight.
APPROVED BY THE COMMISSION at its regular meeting on the 26th day
of June, 2002.
