All in favor, motion carries. MOTION: Don made the motion to approve the minutes of June 12, 1991; second by Roger. All in favor, motion carries. Glenn: The totem pole raises certain issues, the difference between art and architecture. Many people would argue that architecture is art as well. When sculpture or art takes on certain proportions then it fuzzes up the line between art and architecture. We spend allot of time reviewing planting boxes and other elements that went into the Jerome courtyard which had much less of an impact. Someone could come in and say I make planters as my art and this is my design. This is an issue that needs to have rules formed as to how it is dealt with. Resolution presented to Georgeann Waggaman commending her for the years of outstanding service on the Historic Preservation Committee. MOTION: Bill made the motion to add 409 E. Hopkins to the agenda under new business; second by Don. All in favor, motion carries. RESOLUTION 5, X99~ Bill: Reso 5 references 601 W. Hallam - deletion from inventory with conditions. Roxanne: The HPC directed Staff and City Attorney to write a resolution to incorporate the motion from the last meeting. Specifically the language change that is under the definition of mass. Scale shall mean that window and door dimension and building scale shall be consistent with the scale of other buildings on the block. Joe: There is a correction on #2 last paragraph. It should be effect not affect. Historic Preservation committee Minutes of July 10, 1991 MOTION: Bill entertained a motion to approve the amended resolution #5 as submitted. Joe: I so move; second by Don. Ail in favor except Jake, motion carries. Jeremy Bernstein: I have a covenant that will be recorded. We would like a statement from the HPC stating that this HPC has no intention of relisting this property. When the siding is put back up and the double hung window installed that you will not be in the position of finding that this piece of property is being recommended. I also have advised to put in the draft of the covenant language that states if the property is relisted that the covenant would no longer be binding, the theory behind this is that George is volunteering to make permanent restrictions on his property and his understanding is that this property has been taken off the inventory and that he worked with Staff and that he changed his position and he would like to have certainty that in 6 mos. or one year or two he will not be in the position that there be a move by Staff or HPC to put the property back on the inventory. Roxanne: Jeremy can discuss the covenants with the City Attorney. Bill: This sounds like a legal issue. RESOLUTION #6t 1991 - 612 E. M~IN VESTED RIGHTS PUBLIC HEARING Roxanne: The property owner, by right, has the ability to request vesting for three years on a site specific plan from the HPC. MOTION: Don made the motion to approve Resolution #6, 1991 granting vested property rights for the site specific development plan at 612 E. Main; second by Roger. All in favor, motion carries. COMMUNICATIONS Don: Jake and I met with Bruce Sutherland on Pioneer Park and granted him approval of the basement windows having an arched header rather than flat. No other significant change. Roxanne: The intown school site committee has been trying to determine the fate of the both the yellow and red brick school. The yellow brick has been dedicated to the Early Learning Center. The red brick is 50 years old and is historic due to its age. It is the only public building that was built in Pitkin County of that era. From 1896 on there has been a public education center on that block. Historic Preservation Committee Minutes of July 10, ~991 Jake: The red brick school site is adjacent to Hallam Lake and backs onto a bike path and it has proximity to the Post Office etc. From 1896 it has had a school function. It has a somewhat park like nature due to the deep front yard setback and large trees and lawn which adds to the neighborhood. If something could happen through a zoning change or PUD action the school district could extract good land value out of it with such an action. Maybe the City could come up with a differential to renovate the read brick school rather than having to buy and then go free market on the yellow brick site. Karen: There are 50 years of memories in that building. Glenn: The neighbors are in favor of the building being a public use. Roger: The most critical part of the site is the trees. Possibly we need to do a resolution stating: 1) that the site is preserved so that we maintain the integrity of the site. The second issue is the architecture which isn't that great but with that are bricks from two historic sites. The bricks should be reused. DISCUSSION OF OUT BUILDINGS Roxanne: This parcel is at the 700 Block of W. Smuggler. and this discussion is to determine the Board's opinions of preserving the outbuilding etc. Mark Friedburg: I represent the party purchasing the property, Mr and Mrs. Sugar. I was told by Roxanne that the only out building she was concerned with was the garage on the street. That building was built around 1940 and can be moved. The other two are chicken coops that are falling down. I represented to the purchasers that the one building could not be torn down and they proceeded and we close next week. Yesterday the client had another meeting and was told that possibly the other two would have to stay and I need direction from the HPC. Roxanne: I am sorry you were not at that meeting Mark, and that was not what was said at the meeting. The three buildings are on the proposed inventory and non have been officially on the inventory that would be adopted by City Council. It is the policy to save as many out buildings as possible for the cottage infill program. How does the Board feel about the out buildings. I told the architect that if a building permit was applied for that I would be bringing the issue to the HPC. The Board has to determine how important the buildings are. Historic Preservation Committee Minutes of July 10, 1991 Glenn: We are interested in every building in the townsite of Aspen. You all know that, no matter how flimsy the building is. Mr. Sugar: It was represented to me that only one building would have to remain. We could incorporate or move one unit but not all three. It would be difficult to build a double unit on that property. Don: There is one structure that could be utilized but the other two only have material use. Kim Weil, architect: A duplex is proposed on a 9,000 sq. ft. lot. Joe: If it is not on the inventory you are not subject to any particular controls over it. Possibly one could be on the inventory. There is only one building with real value and we would have to review that carefully. SEASIDE FLORIDA VIDEO PRESENTED TO BOARD 409 E. HOPKINS MOTION: Roger made the motion to add 409 E. Hopkins to the agenda for consideration of extending the conceptual approval; second by Don. All in favor, motion carries. MOTION: Don made the motion that the conceptual approval for 409 E.
