Adjourn 0 . 1 04 7 1 MEMORANDUM To: Aspen Historic Preservation Committee From: Roxanne Eflin, Historic Preservation Officerk Re: Minor Development and sideyard setback variation (public hearing, continued): 17 Queen St., outbuilding Date: May 27, 1992 APPLICANT'S REQUEST: Minor Development and side yard setback approval necessary for the construction of wood (board and batten) 3'4" x 8'8" x 8'6" (high) outbuilding with corrugated metal sloped roof. APPLICANT: Henry and Lana Trettin, represented by Geoffrey Harris of Pellecchia-Olson Architects PREVIOUS HPC ACTION: Action was tabled and the public hearing was continued to this meeting from May 13, in order to allow the applicant additional time to restudy the location and placement of the proposed outbuilding. Since that time, staff has received new information from the applicant (attached) for the HPC to consider when taking action. A copy of staff's review memo from that meeting is attached for reference. Staff's recommendation for approval has not changed since that time. Staff reminds the HPC that previous removals of outbuildings on this parcel are not grounds to deny this new proposal, which should be reviewed solely on its current merits and against the Development Review Standards and Design Guidelines. Staff finds the proposal meets both. We offer the alternative below which we also support should the application as proposed not be approved by the Board, especially in light of adjacent neighbor dispute. ALTERNATIVES: Alternatives exist to relocate the outbuilding to another area on the parcel, and to lower the overall height some. Should the HPC find both of these alternatives more appropriate when considering the historic nature of the parcel, then approval could be granted subject to the applicant submitting a revised site plan and revised elevation for staff's approval prior to the issuance of a building permit. RECOMMENDATION: The Planning Office recommends that the HPC approve the Minor Development application for 17 Queen Street as proposed, and grant a side yard setback variation, finding that such variation is more compatible in character with the historic landmark, than would be development in accord with dimensional requirements. memo.hpc.17qs.md.3 m MEMORANDUM To: Aspen Historic Preservation Committee From: Roxanne Eflin, Historic Preservation Officer ~k__ Re: Minor Development and sideyard setback variation (public hearing): 17 Queen St., outbuilding Date: May 13, 1992 APPLICANT'S REQUEST: Minor Development and side yard setback approval necessary for the construction of wood (board and batten) 3'4" x 8'8" x 8'6" (high) outbuilding with corrugated metal sloped roof. APPLICANT: Henry and Lana Trettin, represented by Geoffrey Harris of Pellecchia-Olson Architects DISCUSSION: The Development Review standards are found in Section 7-601 of the Land Use Code. 1. Standard: The proposed development is compatible in character with designated historic structures located on the parcel and with development on adjacent parcels when the subject site is in an H, Historic Overlay district or is adjacent to a 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, HPC shall find that such variation is more compatible in character with the historic landmark, than would be development in accord with dimensional requirements. Response: A small detached outbuilding/storage building is proposed on the parcel, which encroaches 3' into the sideyard setback. We find that a detached structure of this size and appearance is compatible to the landmark, and, further that we support setback variation, provided no significant vegetation is removed to accommodate the outbuilding. The site is tight in this area, and we find that the proposed shed's location is appropriate in that it provides visual relief between the cottage while being functional. (Note: We do find it unfortunate that the original (historic) outbuildings were not preserved for this use.) HPC COMMENTS: 2. Standard: The proposed development reflects and is consistent with the character of the neighborhood of the parcel proposed for development. Response: The neighborhood character with regard to on-site parking is eclectic, and staff finds that this proposal is not necessarily inconsistent with the neighborhood. HPC COMMENTS: 3. Standard: The proposed development enhances or does not detract from the cultural value of designated historic structure located on the parcel proposed for development or adjacent parcels. Response: Staff finds that the proposal does not detract from the cultural value of the parcel. HPC COMMENTS: 4. Standard: The proposed development enhances or does not diminish or detract from the architectural integrity of a designated historic structure or part thereof. Response: We find the architectural design of the outbuilding to be compatible with others of similar size on other parcels, and find that is does not diminish the architectural integrity of the main structure. HPC COMMENTS: ALTERNATIVES: The HPC may consider the following alternatives: 1. Approve the Minor Development application as submitted 2. Approve the Minor Development application with conditions to be met prior to the issuance of a building permit. 3. Table action to allow the applicant further time for restudy (specific recommendations should be offered). 4. Deny Minor Development approval finding that the application does not meet the development review standards. RECOMMENDATION: The Planning Office recommends that the HPC approve the Minor Development application for 17 Queen Street as 2 proposed, and grant a side yard setback variation, finding that such variation is more compatible in character with the historic landmark, than would be development in accord with dimensional requirements.

We wish to make the following points both in rebuttal to what we feel was unfounded criticism ofour client and our firm and to clarify certain decisions made pertaining to the project. 1. Parking In the early stages of this project we proposed that no off-street parking for the Miller's Cottage be provided on the northeast end of the site but rather any spaces required be provided at the opposite end of the property. Le. off of Queen Street. During the HPC meeting of 28 January, 1991, it was determined thai: one off-street parking space be dedicated to the Miner's Cottage near the relocated building with additional parking within the King Sheet public right-of-way. Amotion was made, seco™led, and carried regarding this. We subsequently showed one off-street parking space to be located at the northeast corner of the property adjacent to an existing drive way and accessible from King Street; again, this was done in response to the EPC meeting of 23 January, 199L The construction documents were then submitted far a buibling permit which was granted sometime in March or early April We assume that with the required approval of the various city agencies necessary to grant a permit that the off-street parking issue has been satistied. As a footnote, there was, during construction, some thought given to moving the parking space from the King Street side to the Neal Avenue side. Roxanne Eflin was contacted for her feelings on this and after some consideration by both Ms. Eflin and our office it was determined to be an unsafe proposition because af the traffic on Neal Avenue, because of the proposed drive' 3 invipihility from Neal when heading toward town, and because of various other reasons.

Lack of Site Information Pertaining to Prooosed Storage Shed As part of the Minor Development Application process on 10 March, 1992, our office issued to the Historic Preservation Committee, in care of Raxanne Eflin, three (8) sets of application information. Each set consisted of the appEcation form, a written description of the project, a vicinity map, and a partial site plan showing the cottage, the proposed shed Clighlighted in color) and Neal Avenue and King Street and their intersection; in other words, the north portion of the site. On 28 April, 1992, at the request of Roxanne Eflin, we issued ten (10) copies of a dimensioned and noted pricing drawing which showed elevations, materials, details, etc We find it hard to understand that this was not enough information to evaluate this proposal. However, assuming the committee needed more information, why was our oflice not notified given that the application was Eled on or about 16 March, 1992 - approximately a full two (2) months before the meeting? 3. Tree Removal In arder to provide the parking space required by the HPC, one six inch (69 diameter aspen had to be removed, as well as some low undergrowth. By looking at the enclosed color xeroxes taken from approximately,the same location at different times during construction one can see the tree which was removed. Throughout this process the owner and the contractor have exercised due diligence in protecting as much vegetation as possible on the property. In addition, the owner is about to begin extensive landscaping on this portion of the site. To first require the owner to provide parking in this area and then to cry foul when one mnall aspen is removed to provide this parking is inappropriate. 4. Adiacent Propertv Owner's Concerns From the outset of this project the owner and the contractor have made every effort to listen and, as much as possible, to accommodate the concerns of an aljacent property owner who now claims thal he was generally ignored. Below are four examples. a) When the drive and parking were about to be installed, a corner pin was disIodged. The neighbor insisted on an additional survey of the northeast corner of the property even though this had already been done. He also demanded that only one particular surveyor be employed to do this work The toniactor made these arrengements and the owner, rn*hm- th•n the neighbor, paid for this service. b) In providing the ofr-street parking, an irrigation ditch needed to be spanned. An adequately sized piece of culvert was delivered to the site for this purpose and installation was begun. The neighbor, upon seeing the culvert, claimed that it was not adequate. Furthermore, he demanded that the culvert which already ran below his drive have access for maintenance at both ends even though that meant the new culvert would need to be moved away from originally conceived location with one end on the property line. Again even though there was no reason to do so other than good will, the neighbor's demand was accommodated although this meant that access to the northwest end of the neighbor's culvert would be via our client's property. 05/26/92 17:29 2 303 534 4114 Pellecchia·Olson P.04 Mr. Bill Poss Chairman. Aspen Historic Preservation Committee May 24 1992 Page 3 c) The neighbor claimed a wooden footbridge was removed form the site. If there ever was a footbridge there, it was removed prior to our client acquiring the property. We have no record of it in any site information, nor does it appear on the survey prepared by Banner Associates dated 8 March, 1989. Regardless, by whal right does this neighbor believe he can control what occurs on the Trettin's property? d) The neighbor also claimed that indiscriminate spreading of roadbase for the parking and drive somehow horribly disfigured the corner of the property. We believe a comparison of the enclosed xeroxes will answer this accusation. 5. The Overall Process Throughout this endeavor, the Trettins, Rudd Construction and Pellecchia Olson Architects have conaistently worked with the Historic Preservation Committee to ensure the success of the prqject from everyone's viewpoint We feel this commitment was acknowledged when, the evening before the 13 May meetina the Miner's Cottage received an award form the HPC. It was unfortunate that, as a result of other deadlines, no one from our office could attend the 13 May meeting to offer some response to the various allegations. We did. in fact contact Roxanne Eflin prior to the meeting to verify that our presence would not be necessary. Nonetheless, we find it surprising that in our stea4 no one from the HPC was willing to stand up and defend the level of effort and commitment brought to this project by Mrs. Trettin and Rudd Construction, Eis well as by Pellecehia Olson Architects, in response to these accusations. Please ensure that all members of the Historic Preservation Committee receive a copy of this letter. Thank you. Aze€ b Geom,ey adH*rris PELLECC~ OLSON A~Cm'rEers, p.c. GRE:.ha enclosures Ce: All Committee Members, Aspen Historic Preservation Committee Mr. and Mrs. Henry Trettin Rudd Construction, Inc. File: 8905.01 May 11, 1992 fl'Al / 1 Aspen Histoiic Preservation Committee City Hall 130 South Galena Aspen, colorado 81611 Gentlemen: We would like to strongly object to the location proposed for the outbuilding on the Trettin property for the following reasons: 1. ·A large cottonwood tree was uprooted (one foot diameter x approximately 50 feet tall) on city property which was specifically disallowed by the Historic Preservation Committee, a major monu- ment located within one foot of the tree to which the Trettin and Kappeli properties are tied was bent and buried with the 1954 BLM brass cap destroyed, and natural growth of service berry bushes was destroyed on Kappeli property, for the sole purpose of providing parking for the Trettin's car. Mrs. Trettin claimed this was the only place she was allowed to park. Contrary to that final approval was issued on a plat permitting only a wooden footbridge over the ditch for access in that location. Now, after all that destruction, that parking would be eliminated by putting a building on that spot. 2. The site for the outbuilding does not have a proper base for a building. A culvert was dropped into the ditch and road base hurriedly pushed on top in late December of 1991 to provide parking. 3. The outbuilding over the culvert in that location creates potential problems with maintenance of the ditch, i.e., foot traffic close to the bank deteriorating the bank and pushing debris into the water; the roof shedding snow, leaves, debris into the ditch, etc. It seems to us there is room for the outbuilding by placing it further west, parallel to the ditch. The brush and trees here would nicely conceal it. However, historically, the outbuildings for that "cot- tage" were located south and east of the main building. Also, before any further development takes place on the Trettin property, we would like to have the off-street parking issue settled and see the current "parking" area restored to the approved wooden footbridge as the current parking situation has created hazards and misuses there, i.e., they regularly exit King Street against the one-way traffic, company parks in front of the fire hydrant next to her parking, in front of two mail boxes there, or blocks the driveway on the Kappeli property. We will be attending the public hearing regarding the outbuilding on May 13 to present further detail. However if you have any questions in the meantime, please call Ernst or Lindaat 925-7117.

We propose the addition of a storage shed for bicycles, skis, etc., within the Historic Overlay District located on a portion of the property at 17 Queen Street. This shed is to be located adjacent to the off street parking space entered from King Street, at the northeast corner of the above mentioned property. The proposed structure will be rectangular in form, approximately 3'-4" x 8'-8" x 8'-6" high, with a simple shed roof. Siding will be wood board and batten, profile and pattern to match the cottage. The roofing will be corrugated metal, also used on the cottage. Overall, the character Will be similar to other vernacular outbuildings within the neighborhood. The shed will continue a tradition of small, detached accessory buildings which occur frequently in the surrounding area. The placement within the setback is done to clearly create a break between the shed and the cottage, yet still place the shed where it is the most useful functionally.

Cooper (Stefan Kaelin) Date: May 27, 1992 APPLICANT'S REQUEST: Minor Development approval for the storefront renovation. APPLICANT: Stefan Kaelin, represented by Raul Gawry, Architect ZONING: "CC" Commercial Core, "H" Historic Overlay District PROBLEM DISCUSSION: Staff has determined that the proposal is a Minor Development review by the HPC, as stated in Section 7- 601(E)(2)(d). We find that the proposed exterior changes are minor in their effect on the character of the existing structure. 1. Standard: The proposed development is compatible in character with designated historic structures located on the parcel and with development on adjacent parcels when the subject site is in an H, Historic Overlay district or is adjacent to a Historic Landmark... Response: The applicant wishes to redesign the storefront in order to recess the entire length of display windows at the depth of the existing entry door. This is due to an interior remodel, which is necessary to divide the first floor into two separate retail spaces. The proposed doors (two pair) are sliders, which match the main entry doors that currently exist. The structure is not historic, therefore, a contemporary storefront solution may be appropriate here, and in keeping with the building's design. Staff's primary concerns are found in the proposal's compatibility within the historic district, as reviewed below in Standard #2. HPC comments: 2. Standard: The proposed development reflects and is consistent with the character of the neighborhood of the parcel proposed for development. Response: Staff is concerned that the recessed storefront may be out of character with the predominant storefront design found within the district, which is directly at facade edge. The benefits of a non-recessed storefront are both economic (readily viewed merchandise at pedestrian mall level) and architectural. The HPC encourages storefronts at facade (property line) edge, which helps stimulate an interaction between the pedestrian/shopper and the business (an historic precedent) . Perhaps a portion of the storefront could remain recessed (entrance doors), while the predominant display windows be at facade edge. Alternately, this storefront has the advantage of a south facing facade, which enables southern light to penetrate the recessed space. We ask the HPC to first consider the appropriateness in the recessed design, prior to the door review. We understand the applicant' s desire to retain the existing sliding door for economic purposes, and simply relocate it elsewhere on the storefront facade and install a second one to match. However, we find that the design of these doors, especially in pairs, is a contemporary approach not generally found in the district. Most doors open in a traditional way, not as horizontal sliders. Since the building is not historic, and is not adjacent to a landmark, the HPC may find these doors to be appropriate. Staff asks that the HPC carefully consider the appropriateness of this element, and find that it does or does not meet the Development Review Standards. HPC comments: 3. Standard: The proposed development enhances or does not detract from the cultural value of designated historic structure located on the parcel proposed for development or adjacent parcels. Response: No historic landmarks are located on this or adjacent parcels. HPC comments: 4. Standard: The proposed development enhances or does not diminish or detract from the architectural integrity of a designated historic structure or part thereof. Response: This structure is not a designated landmark. Staff's comments on architectural integrity are found in our response to Standard #2 (district compatibility) above. HPC comments: ALTERNATIVES: The HPC may consider the following alternatives: 2 1. Approve the Minor Development application as submitted 2. Approve the Minor Development application with specific conditions of the HPC, to be approved by staff and the project monitor prior to the issuance of a building permit. 3. Table action to allow the applicant further time for restudy (specific recommendations should be offered). 4. Deny Minor Development approval finding that the application does not meet the development review standards. RECOMMENDATION: The Planning Office recommends that the HPC table the Minor Development approval for the proposal at 401 E. Cooper, to allow the applicant additional time to restudy the door design and complete recess of the storefront. Should approval be granted, a Project Monitor should be assigned to this project as this meeting. memo.hpc.401ec.md 3 Raul Gawrys and Associates P.C. Ar,kittotcu,® ' Peatudg April 20, 1992 PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Stefan Kaelin Remodel Cooper Street Aspen, Colorado This project consists of an interior remodel, and the installation of a new glass storefront system. This remodel will occur in the first floor retail space only. The existing store consists of 4496 S.F., and this will be divided into two separate shops of 2317 S.F.and 2179 S.F._. The total construction will be the construction of a divider wall, and modification of the mechanical and electrical systems to accommodate the spaces. Since this space will be divided into two separate shops, an additional entry door off the Mall will be required. The Owner plans to replace the existing storefront in its entirety with a new system which is similar to the existing. This new system will be relocated so the entire storefront will be in one plane across the entire width of the building front which reduces the present building square footage by 80 S.F..

Cooper (Pitkin County Dry Goods) Date: May 27, 1992 APPLICANT'S REQUEST: Minor Development approval for the storefront renovation. APPLICANT: Pitkin County Dry Goods, represented by Bill Poss and Associates. ZONING: "CC" Commercial Core, "H" Historic Overlay District PROBLEM DISCUSSION: Staff has determined that the proposal is a Minor Development review by the HPC, as stated in Section 7- 601 (E) (2) (d) . We find that the proposed exterior changes are minor in their effect on the character of the existing structure. Standard: The proposed development is compatible in character with designated historic structures located on the parcel and with development on adjacent parcels when the subject site is in an H, Historic Overlay district or is adjacent to a Historic Landmark... Response: Staff finds that the proposal meets the standard. The storefront and new entry doors are designed to match the existing. Their proportions meet the Design Guidelines for the Commercial Core Historic District and are compatible with the structure. HPC comments: 2. Standard: The proposed development reflects and is consistent with the character of the neighborhood of the parcel proposed for development. Response: We find that the proposal meets this standard. HPC comments: 3. Standard: The proposed development enhances or does not . detract from the cultural value of designated historic structure located on the parcel proposed for development or adjacent parcels. Response: No historic landmarks are located on this or adjacent ~ parcels. We find this standard has been met. ./.. HPC comments: 4. Standard: The proposed development enhances or does not diminish or detract from the architectural integrity of a designated historic structure or part thereof. Response: This structure is not a designated landmark, and we find that the standard has been met. The proportions and overall design of the renovated storefront are architecturally compatible with the building. HPC comments: ALTERNATIVES: The HPC may consider the following alternatives: 1. Approve the Minor Development application as submitted 2. Approve the Minor Development application with specific conditions of the HPC, to be approved by staff and the project monitor prior to the issuance of a building AIIA permit. 3. Table action to allow the applicant further time for restudy (specific recommendations should be offered). 4. Deny Minor Development approval finding that the application does not meet the development review standards. RECOMMENDATION: The Planning Office recommends that the HPC approve the Minor Development approval for the proposal at 401 E. Cooper, finding that the Development Review Standards have been met. We recommend that a Project Monitor be assigned to this project at this meeting. memo.hpc.401ec.md . 2 605 EAST MAIN STREET ASPEN, COLORADO 81611 TELEPHONE 303/925-4755 FACSIMILE 303/920-2950 May 15, 1992 Roxanne Eflin Historic Preservation Officer Aspen Historic Preservation Committee 130 South Galena Aspen, Colorado 81611 Dear Roxanne: The following is in response to Attachment 2 of the Minor Historic Development Application Package. 1. See attached letter 2. Legal description: 401 East Cooper Aspen, Colorado 3. See attached Memorandum of Ownership 4. See attached Vicinity Map 5. Insomuch as the corner property fronts on two adjacent mails, this proposal intends to clip the corner of the structure and to add a door to the exterior. This proposed addition reflects the historic nature of the clipped corner and is consistent with the character of the neighborhood. The materials to be used are consistent with the existing materials and the existing overhang will remain unchanged. If there is any additional information you require, please contact me.

Standard: The proposed development is compatible in character with designated historic structures located on the parcel and with development on adjacent parcels when the subject site is in an H, Historic Overlay district or is adjacent to a Historic Landmark... Response: Staff finds that the proposal meets the standard. The new storefront and entry door are designed to match the existing. Their proportions meet the Design Guidelines for the Commercial Core Historic District and are compatible with the structure. HPC comments: 2. Standard: The proposed development reflects and is consistent with the character of the neighborhood of the parcel proposed for development. Response: We find that the proposal meets this standard. HPC comments: 3. Standard: The proposed development enhances or does not detract from the cultural value of designated historic structure located on the parcel proposed for development or adjacent parcels. . Response: No historic landmarks are located on this or adjacent parcels. We find this standard has been met. HPC comments: 4. Standard: The proposed development enhances or does not diminish or detract from the architectural integrity of a designated historic structure or part thereof. Response: This structure is not a designated landmark, and we find that the standard has been met. The proportions and overall design of the renovated storefront are architecturally compatible with the building. HPC comments: ALTERNATIVES: The HPC may consider the following alternatives: 1. Approve the Minor Development application as submitted 2. Approve the Minor Development application with specific conditions of the HPC, to be approved by staff and the project monitor prior to the issuance of a building permit. 3. Table action to allow the applicant further time for restudy (specific recommendations should be offered). 4. Deny Minor Development approval finding that the application does not meet the development review standards. RECOMMENDATION: The Planning Office recommends that the HPC approve the Minor Development approval for the proposal at 413 E. Cooper, finding that the Development Review Standards have been met. We recommend that a Project Monitor be assigned to this project at this meeting. memo.hpc.413ec.md 2 .1 605 EAST MAIN STREET ASPEN, COLORADO 81611 TELEPHONE 303/925-4755 FACSIMILE 303/920-2950 April 22, 1992 Roxanne Eflin Historic Preservation Officer Aspen Historic Preservation Committee 130 South Galena Aspen, Colorado 81611 Dear Roxanne: The following is a response to Attachment 2 of the Minor Historic Development Application Package. 1. See attached letter. 2. Legal description: PARK PLACE A CONDOMINIUM City and Townsite of Aspen, Pitkin County, Colorado 3. See attached Memorandum of Ownership. 4. See attached Vicinity Map. 5. This proposal intends to extend the existing store front, on the West, from 401 E. Cooper (Pitkin County Dry Goods) to the existing facade on the East, 419 E. Cooper (McDonough's). This would help eliminate the existing dark recessed entry and provide a more accessible and visually pleasing entry. This proposed addition reflects and is consistent with the character of the neighborhood, while maintaining harmony between the two adjacent stores. The materials to be used are consistent with the existing material and the existing overhang will remain unchanged. If there is any additional information you may require, please contact me.

Main St., new metal roof Date: May 27, 1992 APPLICANT'S REQUEST: Minor development approval for the re- roofing of the National Register cottage at 303 E. Main. A standing seam metal roof in zinc gray is proposed. LOCATION: 303 E. Main St., described as Lot A and the East 1/2 of Lot B, Block 80, City and Townsite of Aspen APPLICANT: Niklaus G. Kuhn and Gertrud E. Kuhn, represented by architect Scott Lindenau. ZONING: CC (Commercial Core Historic District). This parcel is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. PREVIOUS HPC ACTION: Last year, the HPC denied an application to re-roof the cottage in all metal material, finding the proposal did not meet the Development Review Standards or the Guidelines for the historic district. EXISTING CONDITIONS: The existing (older) shingle roof is leaking, and the owner has sought the assistance of Schmueser Gordon Meyer, Inc. to investigate the structural aspects of installing a new metal roof. Their report letter is enclosed. The applicant's largest concern is in snow shedding, which is why they have re- applied to the HPC for approval to install the metal roof. STAFF SUMMARY: Staff understands the applicant's desire to re- roof this structure with a material proposed to be less maintenance intensive. We support the applicant's desire to maintain this important historic resource, and wish to work with him to find an acceptable solution to the problem. We do not, however, support the installation of an all-metal standing seam roof, and have stated our reasons why in response to the Development Review Standards. We defer to the HPC to work with the applicant to achieve the goal of eliminating a leaky roof in a compatible way. REVIEW PROCESS: The applicable Guidelines are found in Section VI. Residential Buildings - Renovation and Restoration. The Development Review Standards are found in Section 7-601(D). 1. Standard: The proposed development is compatible in character with designated historic structures located on the parcel and with development on adjacent parcels when the subject site is . 4 in an H, Historic Overlay district or is adjacent to a 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, HPC shall find that such variation is more compatible in character with the historic landmark, than would be development in accord with dimensional requirements. Response: The Planning Office finds that the proposal is not compatible in character with the cottage. We recommend the use of wood shingles on all roof surfaces except flatter pitched areas, such as porch roofs. This cottage's historic roof material has been wood shingles, which predominates cottages of this style and era. We find that a ribbed metal roof substantially changes the character of the cottage, and is an inappropriate choice for new roof material. We find this standard has not been met. 2. Standard: The proposed development reflects and is consistent with the character of the neighborhood of the parcel proposed for development. Response: We find that this standard has not been met. Metal is not the predominant material found on roofs in the district. This cottage is an important community asset, listed on the National Register and highly visible in its location on Main Street, and its contribution to the neighborhood's character is immeasurable. 3. Standard: The proposed development enhances or does not detract from the cultural value of a designated historic structure located on the parcel proposed for development or adjacent parcels. Response: The Planning Office finds that the proposal does not enhance the cultural value of the historic resource, which deserves closer attention to original material detail due to its historic integrity. 4. Standard: The proposed development enhances or does not diminish or detract from the architectural integrity of a designated historic structure or part thereof. Response: Staff finds that the proposal detracts from the architectural integrity of the structure. Wood shingles are an important, historic fabric for Aspen miners cottages. Shingles are a soft material that provide subtle texture and shading to pitched roofs, while enhancing the small architectural scale of the structure. We recommend that the applicant again study the use of wood shingles, or a combination of metal and wood, in order to meet the Development Review Standards. 2 ALTERNATIVES: The HPC may consider the following alternatives: 1) Approve the Minor Development application as proposed, finding that the Standards have been met. 2) Approve the Minor Development application with conditions to be approved by the Project Monitor and staff. 3) Table action, to allow the applicant to restudy specific issues of the proposal. 4) Deny Conceptual Development approval, finding that the Standards have not been met. RECOMMENDATION: The Planning Office recommends that the HPC deny Minor Development application for 303 E. Main, finding that the Development Review Standards have not been met. We encourage the HPC and the applicant to work together to reach a consensus on an acceptable solution to re-roofing this National Register structure. REVIEW COMMENTS: memo.hpc.303.em.md 3 . MAY .5, 199 L Dear: 11BC (in care of Roxanne) Mr. and Mrs. Niklaus Kuhn who are owners of the Van Loon House at 303 East Main are proposing to remove the existing three layers of the roof, and replace it with a 4 inch plywood and a non-shiny metal roof. The color will match the 0.907 ColoR oF -7/f/1 1-< ov716 ~ No structural changes will be necessary, only the simple replacement or the roof, This project will also allow for removal of many unnecesary pounds off of the roof. Since the current owners bought the 303 East Main Victorian from Leana Van Iron in 1980, they have tried to keep the house in int original victorian charm. They have kept up the house by adding a iron fence, several new paint jobs, brick work, and renovation and preservation of the outhouse building. The owners have now decided to replace the old roof on the main house which has been patched for the last twenty years, anh has had problems of leakage into the house. The new metal roof would fit in nicely to the surrounding area expecially considering that the adjoining odthouse has a metal roof. Also many victorians have gone to a metal -roof due to th@- difficult and complicated roof lines. The roof side on the east is very steep, and this is the only area were snow would fall off on the new roof which would just go into the vacant yard. Examples of victorians which have gone to metal loofs include the remodled Francis :Whitaker.' House, the new remodled Log Cabin Restaurant, as well as many other victorians· These changes to the roofs of the Victorians have increased and anhanced their appearance. The main reason that the roof should be replaced is because the roof looks like it is about to fall down, and is leaking. Pictures of the roof have been 6nclosed to show you the exact shap& the roof is in at this time. By putting a new metal roof on the building, it will give the building a major boost as well as solving the leakage problam. I hope that you give this proposal A fair trial, and thank you for your time. SincerelY- A /AU ) U U 1/ u 14-J- ~L - p-10.-' Niklaus G. Kuhn P.O. Box 8016 Aspen, CO. 81612 41 NIKLAUS G.

We understand that you wish to place plywood sheeting over the existing 2x4 rafters and 1/2 x6 nailing slats. You would then attache a felt insulation and, finally, metal roofing. I examined the roof structure with you August 21. We found the wood structural members to be sound. They roof is presently composed of wood shingles, a layer of tar paper and a layer of asphalt shingles. It is your desire that the new roof be of comparable weight of the existing roof so as to avoid any structural changes. While we can make certain assumptions about existing weight, we cannot verify those assumptions. However, it is our opinion that the use of 5/8" plywood sheeting, standard felt insulation and standard metal roofing should be of comparable weight as the existing. The primary advantage the new roof has over the old roof is that metal roofs shed snow almost immediately, thereby reducing overall loading. We hope this provides the information you need. You should be awarethatthe new roof does not appear to meet current Code requirements, but neither does the exiting roof appear to meet Code. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to call. Sincerely, SCHMUESER GORDON MEYER, INC. 0 14 Ron Thompson Planning Engineer RT:Ic/91127 ......

Re: Conceptual Development: 624 E. Hopkins (public hearing) Date: May 27, 1992 APPLICANT'S REQUEST: Conceptual Development approval for the revised redevelopment plans for the parcel at 624 E. Hopkins. The parcel is not eligible for HP variations or incentives. LOCATION: 624 E. Hopkins, Lot Q and the West 1/2 of Lot R, Block 98, City and Townsite of Aspen APPLICANT: Joshua Saslove, represented by Bill Poss and Associates, as authorized by the current owners, Phil and Marian Altfeld ZONING: C-1. This parcel is not designated "H", nor located within a historic district. PREVIOUS HPC ACTION: Over two years ago, the HPC granted demolition and redevelopment approval for this parcel, which resulted in the removal of the Ellen Kuper cottage and the subsequent resale of the vacant parcel. A resolution granted three-year vested rights was adopted by the HPC at that time. The contract purchaser wishes to revise the redevelopment plans, which consisted of a three-story townhouse, finding that the design does not suit his needs. EXISTING CONDITIONS: The parcel is vacant, and is located between two non-historic commercial/multi-use structures. Three small scale cottages exist across the street. STAFF SUMMARY: Staff is generally pleased with the revisions to the original redevelopment plan, finding they meet the Standards. Since the immediate neighborhood' s historic fabric is eroded to the point of relatively little context remaining, reviewing this infill development was difficult two years ago, and will no doubt be a difficult task for the HPC today. No Design Guidelines exist for this type of townhouse development within a (C-1) commercial transition zone; therefore, only general urban design principals and the Development Review Standards may be applied. The architectural ques must be taken from the small cottages across the street, and from structures within adjacent blocks, particularly the City Hall/St. Mary's Church block, with its strong roof forms and substantial massing. A general principal of design quality must also be understood when addressing the appropriateness of this proposal, and understanding how C-1 buildings are used now and should be in the future. REVIEW PROCESS: The Development Review Standards are found in Section 7-601(D). 1. Standard: The proposed development is compatible in character with designated historic structures located on the parcel and with development on adjacent parcels when the subject site is in an H, Historic Overlay district or is adjacent to a 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, HPC shall find that such variation is more compatible in character with the historic landmark, than would be development in accord with dimensional requirements. Response: In this unique case, we are reviewing infill on a vacant parcel. Therefore, this Standard does not apply. 2. Standard: The proposed development reflects and is consistent with the character of the neighborhood of the parcel proposed for development. Response: This is the important standard to apply when reviewing this proposal. The design quality of this infill building has the ability to strengthen the existing neighborhood character and perhaps set precedent, erode any quality that already exists, or be neutral in its statement to the street. It is important that a site visit occur to assist you in making your final decision. The architectural elements, setbacks, streetscape amenities, materials and roof forms that the applicant has woven into this proposal indicate the neighborhood context has been studied thoroughly. Staff supports the articulated two-story design approach, finding this to be an improvement over the original three story version. The strong roof forms and slate tile proposed relate to the historic fabric across the street and to City Hall one block west. We find the two-story massing and scale to be and appropriate height transition between buildings. We also find that elimination of the non-useable "open space" originally designed between the two buildings is appropriate. The open space is found appropriately between the sidewalk edge and the building's facade, which continues the green relief of the buildings to the street. We also agree with the alignment of this infill building, as it relates to both the KSNO and corner buildings. 3. Standard: The proposed development enhances or does not detract from the cultural value of a designated historic structure located on the parcel proposed for development or 2 adjacent parcels. Response: The Planning Office finds that the proposal does not detract from the cultural value of the parcel or adjacent parcels. 4. Standard: The proposed development enhances or does not diminish or detract from the architectural integrity of a designated historic structure or part thereof. Response: This Standard does not apply in this case. ALTERNATIVES: The HPC may consider the following alternatives: 1) Approve the Conceptual Development application as proposed, finding that the Standards have been met. 2). Approve the Conceptual Development application with conditions to be met at Final. 3) Table action, and continue the public hearing to a date certain, to allow the applicant to restudy specific issues of the proposal. 4) Deny Conceptual Development approval, finding that the Standards have not been met. RECOMMENDATION: The Planning Office recommends that the HPC grant Conceptual Development approval for 624 E. Hopkins, finding that the Development Review Standards have been met.

As you are aware, Mr. Altfeld currently has HPC approval to construct a three story residence on the property. After reviewing the Altfeld drawings, Mr. Saslove asked us to make some significant changes to the approved design. Though he is prepared to build the approved design, Mr. Saslove feels the changes we are proposing make the project better for both him and the HPC. First I will briefly describe the changes, then I will address the new design in relation to the review standards set forth in the Land Use Code. The first major change occurs in the lowering of the structure from three to two stories. This allows for a smoother transition from the taller KSNO building to the shorter 632 East Hopkins building. In addition, the two story organization lowers the eave height and creates more of an opportunity to add interest with roof shapes. The second major change is an adjustment to the massing so that the building completely fills the space between the two existing buildings. We feel this is more in keeping with the transitional character of the neighborhood located between the dense commercial zone and the less dense office zone. With respect to how the revised design complies with the relevant review standards, we would like to make the following points: Standard A The development is consistent in character with designated historic landmarks. Response There are no historic landmarks either on the property or adjacent to it. However, there are two contributing structures across the street. Our design reflects the character of these structures by utilizing steep roof 9*/0.4.p.-: 1/.'18 *<26 .* .. 1 and associates™.. Roxanne Eflin Page 2 pitches on the gable ends. In addition, the massing on the south elevation is stepped to create vertical element which enhances the relationship to the Victorian massing of the contributing structures. Finally, our design is held back from the front property line so that a front yard is created in keeping with the older residential structures in the area. Standard B The development is consistent in character with the surrounding neighborhood. Response With the exception of the contributing structures mentioned above, the neighborhood is dominated by a mixture of commercial and residential buildings two or more stories in height. In addition, most of these buildings run lot line to lot line along the street frontage. This is particularly true of the buildings adjacent to our parcel since both are on the property lines. We feel the best approach to remain compatible with the neighborhood is to develop a more transitional type of structure which goes all the way across the parcel. Our design utilizes parapeted gable end walls which are evident on older structures such a "The Armory" and newer buildings such as KSNO. In addition, the mansard portion of our roof is pitched to match both the Armory, KSNO and 632 East Hopkins. Standard C The development enhances or does not detract from historic landmarks. Response Again, there are no landmarks in the immediate neighborhood. However, it is our opinion that the development of one single family residence in this now vacant lot will not detract from the cultural value of the neighborhood. In fact, this development, with its addition of sidewalks and landscaping, may encourage pedestrian traffic and enhance the cultural value of the area. Standard D The proposed development enhances or does not diminish the architectural integrity of a designated historic structure. Response While there are no designated historic structures in the immediate neighborhood, we feel this revised design is, in fact, sensitive to the architectural integrity of the contributing structures. ~ anD associates INIA Roxanne Eflin Page 3 If you have any questions after reviewing this information and the attached drawings, please do not hesitate to call.

Response With the exception of the contributing structures mentioned above, the neighborhood is dominated by a mixture of commercial and residential buildings two or more stories in height. In addition, most of these buildings run lot line to lot line along the street frontage. This is particularly true of the buildings adjacent to our parcel since both are on the property lines. We feel the best approach to remain compatible with the neighborhood is to develop a more transitional type of structure which goes all the way across the parcel. Our design utilizes parapeted gable end walls which are evident on older structures such a "The Armory" and newer buildings such as KSNO. In addition, the mansard portion of our roof is pitched to match both the Armory, KSNO and 632 East Hopkins. Standard C The development enhances or does not detract from historic landmarks. Response Again, there are no landmarks in the immediate neighborhood. However, it is our opinion that the development of one single family residence in this now vacant lot will not detract from the cultural value of the neighborhood. In fact, this development, with its addition of sidewalks and landscaping, may encourage pedestrian traffic and enhance the cultural value of the area. Standard D The proposed development enhances or does not diminish the architectural integrity of a designated historic structure. Response While there are no designated historic structures in the immediate neighborhood, we feel this revised design is, in fact, sensitive to the architectural integrity of the contributing structures. ~ arG associates r Roxanne Eflin Page 3 If you have any questions after reviewing this information and the attached drawings, please do not hesitate to call.

The theme of this year's program is Rescue and Repair. The enclosed brochure outlines the program in detail. The West Dean Summer School is arranged annually for professionals and experienced amateurs engaged in Architectural Conservation. The key speakers represent the best the preservation movement has to offer. Participation in the program is deliberately kept small to allow maximum interaction among the participants. The inclusive fee (lectures, course papers, all entrances, and full room and board) is 957.63 pounds, sterling. To make it easier for Americans to enrol, payment can be made by Visa Card. As a two-time participant in the program and as a veteran of other preservation-oriented programs, I can testify to the unique value of the West Dean experience. I urge you to sincerely consider taking advantage of this opportunity. The Center for Historic Preservation of Roger Williams ~ College is proud to be an official patron of the West Dean Conservation Summer School. Located in the School of Architecture, The Center offers the B.S. Degree in Historic Preservation. The objective of this program is to provide students knowledge and understanding to equip them to deal with the complex issues involved in preserving our built and natural environments. It also addresses the philosophical and practical questions arising while seeking ways to insure the survival of our inheritance now, and into the future. For further information about the Center and its programs, contact its Director, Kevin Jordan, Ph. D., at the letterhead address. Ejinckl€*1 r ~// / /fiC,#, lu/~41 ltL' c.,e,·~ - Michael R. H.
