city Council Chambers
1st Floor City Hall
July 12, 1989
Meeting was called to order by vice-chairman Georgeann Waggaman
with Nick Pasquarella, Joe Krabacher, Chris Darakis, Don Erdman,
Charles Cunniffe and Bill Poss present. Zoe Compton and Charlie
Knight were excused.
MOTION: Nick made the motion to approve the minutes of June 28,
1989. Charles second. All approved.
MOTION: Charles made the motion to add 400 E. Main to the
agenda. Nick second. All approved. Motion carries.
MOTION: Don made the motion to add the east wall of 204 S.
Mill, Collins Block to the agenda immediately due to the life and
safety issues. Charles second. All approved.
COMMITTEE MEMBER AND STAFF COMMENTS
Roxanne: PR brochure has gone to press and should be complete
by the end of July.
204 S. MILL (COLLINS BLOCK) EASTERN WALL
Roxanne: This is an urgent situation
applicant to come to this meeting as this
immediately.
and I encouraged the
needs to be dealt with
Harley Baldwin: This is a life safety issue and we have a wall
that is about to fall over.
Roxanne: I received information that the entire east elevation
wall has been found to be extremely dangerous by the engineers of
the project. We all went over to look at it but it was unclear
to me as I am not an engineer or a masonry expert as to whether
or not it is; however, these people are very qualified and we
always refer to the applicant to give us the correct information
and we respond to the information we get. My problem with being
able to say yes or no is that the plans that I received last week
for the final development of the building did not indicate that
the wall was going to be rebuilt in the form that it is in right
now. Therefore, because of that design issue and because we were
going to be loosing the entire wall of that building I was not
comfortable with allowing it to come down. I have the final
development plan right here and the floor plan has changed from
the original conceptual that we approved. It is very important
that the Board remember what we approved conceptually: We gave
final approval to Phase I which was the restoration of the
Historic Preservation Committee
Minutes of July 12, 1989
building, which means walls, storefronts etc. We have conceptual
approval to the second floor loft with the condition that the
parapet buildup along with the new windows would be submitted at
final review and approved at final. We gave conceptual approval
to the new infill design that we have seen. The final that I
received has changed from the original conceptual approval. So
there is clarification that needs to be made as to exactly what
did the HPC approve for the final on Phase I so the Board can
direct and guide the applicants. Those issues are connected with
this life and safety issue. Obviously we want a safe wall. We
have received a letter which I have passed out to the Board from
Newstrom Davis. Part of it is incorrectly stated in that it is
stating that "Roxanne has taken issue with how the fall will be
reconstructed and as a result of her stand she has refused to let
us take down the wall." It is not for Staff to make that
decision to take down a wall. That would not be my position
anyway. I want this to be in the record that it is inaccurately
stated. We want the safety etc. of that wall. What has to be
clarified is how the wall is going to be reconstructed and what
are we ending up with as far as preserving it.
Georgeann: Are you concerned that what they are showing in
their plans is going to make it impossible to reconstruct it the
same way.
Roxanne: The plans are unclear to me as to exactly what they
intend to do with the upper level of the east elevation wall and
they are very clear to me that the first floor level of that wall
is not going to exist as it is right now, even if it exists at
all. It is just small stem walls that are going to be
reconstructed and maybe just in facing stone. It is not what we
had approved at conceptual.
Don: There are two issues here, one is the structural integrity
of these walls. The east walls were built of a brick that is
soft and not a facing brick with mortar joints of approximately
5/8" that have been penetrated by moisture over the years and we
agreed that the wall is not structurally sound. There are two
issues one is whether to let the contractor proceed with removing
the existing brick and starting from grade level actually they
are starting from a level below grade because the building is
intended to have a full basement not only under the existing
Collins Block but under the new proposed mini mall above. They
would start at one story below grade and reconstruct the entire
wall. That is issue A. Issue B is we did not know as a
Committee that the intent is now something quite different from
what was approved in the last plan we have. The new plans which
involve a complete new redesign of the portion of the building
which lies on the east side, in other words the boundary between
2
Historic Preservation Committee
Minutes of July 12, 1989
the new mini mall area and the existing Collins Block. A
complete re-design of all facilities there including stairs,
elevators, egress, everything has been changed. The question
here is whether we are willing to accept a structure which only
maintains its historical integrity from the second floor up. Or
are we demanding the integrity to continue down below to grade
level so we can deal with one or both of these issues right now.
The most important is the issue of whether the wall can be
brought down and reconstructed. Whether it is reconstructed in
its original historic mode or not, we can wait a few days if
there is time. They want to take the wall down because it is
not structurally sound. The two alternatives are to re-point all
the brick and it is not a load bearing wall, waterproof the
brick, patch the cracks and say OK go with it.
Roxanne: The issue is are there methods that the contractor can
come up with to preserve and structurally stabilize the wall as
it is, the applicant is saying no. The next question is do we
allow the wall to come down before the Board is satisfied with
the reconstruction plan.
Georgeann: We need to hear from the applicants before we
resolve this.
Charles: Is this being done because it is being under-minded by
the digging of the basement, is that what is causing this problem
in the first place.
Dick Arnold: Letters were presented the Board with a letter
from Carl Schiesser who is an certified structural masonry
inspector that states that the wall is deteriorated to a point
beyond repair. Another letter is from Thomas Duesterberg saying
that the wall is no good and a letter from Newstrom-Davis and
myself. One issue that needs to be looked at is that we have to
take the wall down. The contractor, engineer and myself don't
care what it looks like when it goes back up, that is definitely
a separate issue. As of today or tomorrow that wall must come
down or we do not have a safe project. I said that about the
interior part of the east wall and we took that down and now we
are finding out that the two wings coming in on the side are in
the same shape. From a technical point of view we would like to
take the wall down and there will probably be a longer discussion
on what goes back up. There will be an east wall on that
building.
Don: They have removed approximately one third of all the east
wall. We granted them that because of the fact that the wall is
not structurally sound. Now they are coming back and asking for
100% of it to be removed. The one third that we granted removal
Historic Preservation Committee
Minutes of July 12, 1989
on is being reconstructed in a way that leaves the exterior of it
look as it did historically with the historic openings, coursing
and brick being used. Now they are saying lets rebuild it all.
Roxanne: The letter from Newstrom-Davis was sent to Bob Gish,
director of the Building Department and Bob Gish explained that
basically he feels this letter is putting the City on notice and
if this Committee doesn't respond and something happens the City
is going to be held liable.
Georgeann: Is this building being weakened because they are
trying to build a basement underneath or because the center of
the east wall has been taken out and is this problem going to
continue to grow once we take the rest of the east wall off.
Harley Baldwin: There was no guttering and all the water for 20
years has run into the masonry and is now rotten and the wall
basically won't hold itself up.
Georgeann: But that wall was perfect when you wanted to take
the middle out.
Harley: We didn't want to take out more than what we had to.
Ron Bland: I would like to address that fact. It was our
feeling that the sheds of the center of that building were
actually holding that wall. We took them out and found that was
the case. The other end of the building was also being held by a
shed and it has vertical cracks all the way through it from top
to bottom and is sitting on a rock foundation. Both east walls
have settled to a great extent that they have opened up large
structural cracks all the way from the roof to the ground. If
we point and patch you still have a wall that is not structurally
sound.
Tom Duesterberg: Of the four walls that are at the structure
three of them now have begun the underpinning process and the
north wall is almost completed. The south wall will be completed
by the end of this week. The west wall is more store front than
brick so we have provided for the underpinning of that without
any difficulties. On the east wall the north part of the east
wall has a basement foundation underneath it which is in bad
shape and the rest of it was on 3 to 4' deep rock foundation and
has been subject to a lot of weathering through the years. Two
months ago we had to shore it up because we felt that it had
leaned to the east and if they go to excavate underneath it that
shoring will have to be removed so they can excavate and they are
taking shoring out when we badly need it if we had to underpin it
in and it stayed in place.
Historic Preservation Committee
Minutes of July 12, 1989
Don: We granted approval to remove and replace approximately
1/3 of the total wall area previously. That one third is going
to he a veneer not what it was before. It is going to be a four
inch brick veneer on top of four inches of wood or masonry and it
will be approximately an 8 inch wall. If we grant permission to
remove the remaining 2/3rds of the east wall of this structure it
would be questionable historically to allow it to be rebuilt in
this same fashion. It should be rebuilt as a brick masonry wall.
Roxanne: Using salvaged brick.
Don: When you see openings they have to be the same kind of
openings that exist now.
Roxanne: That is possible to do through photographing and
measuring which we would require if the wall were to come down.
I don't think it is reasonable if the wall is to come down to
require them to rebuilt it exactly as it is now.
Don: It should be a masonry wall that reads the same way. When
you see the openings you see brick and that can be accomplished
by wrapping the brick but I want to make sure it doesn't appear
to be a veneer over a CMU, a concrete masonry unit wall.
Bill: That was my understanding when we approved to allow it to
come down.
Charles: Use the brick in the fashion that it was used in.
Bill: We do not want it to wrap and we don't want a concrete
block, we want a full masonry brick wall.
Don: We allowed a veneer wall over one third of this total east
wall surface. I am not in favor of doing that over the other two
thirds of the wall.
Charles: The bottom line is we want to end up with what we have
right now. If you have to take it down for safety reasons we
want it to be put back up so it resembles what is there now and
accurately as possible. Further one of the issues that I am
troubled by is we are already disturbing the east end of this.
If we let them take it down we want them to put it back exactly
the way it is now and not deal with a design change at this
point. Just say the wall goes back as is. If there is a design
change that is an application they should come in for.
Georgeann: We have three ways to replace it. One is a veneer,
Historic Preservation Committee
Minutes of July 12, 1989
one is some sort of modern technique where the brick is wrapped
so it resembles the old or three put it back brick by brick
exactly as the old was built.
Don: There are just two ways.
Tom Duesterberg: Are you requesting that the rebuilding of the
wall we would take exactly the same bricks back in the same
locations because there are three weights of brick right now, the
outside facing, the inside core and the inside facing. The core
is rubble brick and if we are rebuilding the core it is never
seen and wouldn't it be better to come in with a better
reinforced masonry core as a structurally sound wall then to put
in rubble brick.
Don: I might go along with that. I would like to see brick on
both sides of that and the same thickness.
Wayne Polson: The present proposal is to do a masonry block
wall with brick and obviously the windows would be wrapped. The
impression is that we changed the plans in order to sneak
something by the HPC. That is not the case. The only area in
where the wall perforations were changed were on the first level
and when construction is completed are on the interior. We went
5 months to consider all kinds of options. We sacrificed views
and a balcony in order to give HPC what they wanted. For you to
ask us to give away more and build this wall exactly the way it
was when it was never asked of us before is just going too far.
Don: The issue was never raised before and further more this
building has more architectural significance than any other
building in the area and within a finite number of years the
addition may be torn down. When that addition is torn down one
wants to see the Collins Block again. That is the whole point.
Nick: I would like to make a point, you aren't giving me
anything. We are here to protect the community. You aren't
giving me something that I want on that building which is what
you are inferring. We want to see that Collins Block remain
historical.
Joe Wells: We are here to deal with this one issue of whether
to take the wall down or not. We are coming before you in two
weeks with another application and maybe that is a more
appropriate time to address some of these issues of how things
get built.
Roxanne: The final is scheduled for the 9th of August.
Historic Preservation Committee
Minutes of July 12, 1989
Georgeann: Do we let them take down the wall keeping all the
bricks and resolve at a later date how they are going to put it
back up.
Roxanne: I am opposed to that.
MOTION: Charles made the motion to allow the east wall to be
taken down for safety reasons only with the understanding that
they carefully document the wall, photograph it, draw it,
whatever they have to do for Staff's satisfaction/and or monitor
Donnelley and with the understanding at this meeting that the
wall is to be erected exactly like it is now. With the possible
exception of a reinforced core to the wall but brick on both
sides and brick wrapped around the ends. That would constitute a
four inch core. Nick second.
CLARIFICATIONS:
Roxanne: The exterior brick would be the exterior brick that is
there now so they will have to be very careful with the
disassembly of the brick.
Charles: Exactly, because we are trying to preserve the building
as it is.
Bill: That wall should be preserved as if it was never touched
all the way down to the street level or the foundation in the
event that the next owner came in and bought it and wanted to
make an open space park.
VOTE: Ail favored. Motion carries.
309 & 315 E. MAIN STREET - MINOR DEVELOPMENT
Roxanne: At the last meeting the fence and signage was denied
with the requirement that the applicant come back and give us
more of a master plan of what they are going to do with the
entire parcel. Bob Oxenberg is the tenant of 309 E. Main. The
parcel is non-conforming in the zone district for that size lot.
The parcel merged when it was purchased and therefore we will be
reviewing the entire parcel. They will not put the sign on the
exterior of 315. Carl Bergman is going to be removing the
graveled walkway and replacing it with a narrow path of flagstone
brick. HPC needs to come up with a maintenance plan on the
structures. Ordinance #7 of 1989 included maintenance
provisions. Staff is recommending approval with the condition
that the porch of 309 E. Main be restored within six months from
the date of final landmark designation.

Historic Preservation Committee
Minutes of July 12, 1989
Carl Bergman: We want the project to be 100% acceptable to HPC.
We ars not moving it and we are not adding onto the building.
There will be inside restoration and outside.
Georgeann: Are the renters and yourself working on a
restoration plan for these buildings.
Carl: Yes.
Bob Oxenberg: We want to keep the integrity of the building.
The porch is my obligation and I plan to do that off season.
SUMMARY:
The Board discussed the walkway and it was determined that use
of brick for the edge would be more appropriate then the use of
rail road ties. The monitor will work with the applicant.
Railroad ties were not used for landscaping. On 309 the brick
walk abuts to the building. The monitor will also work with the
applicant on 309 in regards to the step, whether it should be
faced with some kind of brick. The fences are different on the
two properties. There will be a gate at 315 and a fence on 309
with no gate.
Bob Oxenberg: On 309 the porch there had been a sign hooked up
but not on the clapboard.
Roxanne: The Board does not want the sign attached to the
clapboard. Use a free standing sign or something that is
attached such as a wrought iron bracket that hangs out.
MOTION: Charles made the motion to approve the application as
presented with the condition that the walkway be faced in brick
and approved by the monitor and the front porch/exterior
maintenance to be taken place within 6 months from landmark
designation. Chris second. All favored. Motion carries.
Monitor will be Charles Cunniffe.
309 & 315 E. MAIN STREET - LANDMARK DESIGNATION
MOTION: Joe made the motion to recommend landmark designation
with Staff's recommendation. Charles second. All approved.
Motion carries.

514 N. 3RD. STREET
No applicant or representative came to meeting. No action taken.
319 N. 4TH STREET
Roxanne: This is an application for a skylight on a principle
facade. It is a flat roof skylight. There have been numerous
changes to the structure over the years. I cannot recommend
approval based on our guidelines.
Bill Lipsey, architect presented photographs of different
skylight throughout town.
Bill Lipsey: 20 % of the original structure is visible. In the
1880 there was an original cabin on the property and there were a
series of additions done. Porches were enclosed with glass and
you never see that on a victorian house. Certain types of
casement windows are there and they were not used etc. Picture
windows were not used and solar collectors were not used on
victorian houses. Numerous others. This house has no victorian
integrity. The skylight is to go over a north facing sink and
there is only one small window in the room and it is dark.
Functionally the room needs light.
Nick: I find it real difficult to approve a skylight regardless
of what the situation is due the steps that we have taken in the
past against skylights.
Don: If we are going to allow a skylight a flush skylight/non
operable would be more historically accurate. A roof window not
a velux window.
Mrs. Blaich: This is a distress matter and we are going to be
living in the house permanently in about two years. When we
bought the house in 1985 we knew we had to get light into the
kitchen but chose not to do so at that time because we were only
part-time residents. This is a distress case not a design
element that we would like to have. It is necessary to have
light in the kitchen in order for the house to function. The
time you did inventory of the historical structures in Aspen we
got a notification that our house was given the lowest evaluation
and that we could do anything that we wanted to it except tear it
down without a review of this Committee. Now I understand you
don't go buy those guidelines anymore.
Robert Blaich: I don't consider this a kitchen it is a dungeon.
At one point we went to the Planning Department and asked for a
9
Historic Preservation Committee
Minutes of July 12, 1989
solarium and that was turned down. We asked to enlarge a window
in the upstairs bedroom and that was turned down. This is a
functional change that is necessary. In the summertime it will
be hard to detect the skylight as there are large Aspen trees
there. The skylight would be 2' x 4'.
Bill: I am in support of skylights on roofs because I don't feel
they compromise the integrity of the shape of the victorian
structure. In this particular case the house has been changed so
much that its integrity has been compromised.
Georgeann: I also agree the flat skylight is a better solution.
I am more concerned on how this building got designated when they
didn't know it was designated when they bought it.
Roxanne: The City Clerk is required to record the ordinance
designating the structure. Years ago some structures were not
recorded on the property so the title company could pick it up.
Georgeann: Some owner at some time decided to designate the
house.
Bill: Bill Clark designated the house.
Charles: I am for the skylight but there are a lot of people
that have interior kitchens with indirect lighting and never have
complained about them. It is a matter of personal taste rather
than usability.
Chris: In
in the past
problems.
regards to the flush or flat skylight our experience
is maintenance. They have nothing but leaks and
Joe: This is a local historic landmark and it doesn't meet the
guidelines.
Don: A double glazed light has more problems because it breaks
at the seal.
Bill: Does the architect think he can design a flat skylight.
Bill Lipsey: I would prefer to go with the standard because it
is something from the result of literally hundreds of engineering
hours to make a product that doesn't leak.
Bill: I measured the skylight presented
the shingle it measures 2 3/4 "above the
a 4 inch frame on the sheathing.

Historic Preservation Committee
Minutes of July 12, 1989
MOTION: Bill made the motion to approve the skylight as
presented for 319 N. Fourth St. finding that it doesn't
compromise the integrity of the structure. No more then the
minimum curve that is presented which is approximately 2 3/4"
should be exposed. Chris second.
VOTE:
Yes: Bill, Chris,
No: Nick, Joe.
Motion carries.
Georgeann, Don.
Joe: It says in the guidelines that skylight should be mounted
flush with the roof to avoid altering the roof and I don't find
it compatible if we are going to use a velux skylight. Charles
thought there were other ways to get light into the area.
Roxanne: I am concerned that we are setting a precedence here.
Charles: We need to discuss what we want to do with this
standard at a worksession.
Georgeann: I would be inclined to say that skylights on this
building are appropriate to the level of non integrity that this
building has; however, I would also recommend that the applicants
consider de-designating this building.
Nick: At one time someone wanted this building designated.
211 W. MAIN - CONCEPTUAL DEVELOPMENT - PUBLIC HEARING
Applicant did not send the notifications out of public hearing
and could not present the certificate of mailing. 211 W. Main
tabled until the 26th of July.
MOTION: Joe made the motion to table 211 W. Main until the next
regular scheduled meeting. Charles second. All approved.
MONITORING
Bill: George Vicenzi wants to add a fire place to the upper
level of the carriage house which subsequently has a chimney on
top.
Roxanne: You are talking about a projection of 2 feet above the
roof. The carriage house is already non-conforming as far as
height in the R-6.
Bill Drueding: Chimneys are allowed ten feet.
Joe: So you are not increasing the non-conformity.
11
Historic Preservation Committee
Minutes of July 12, 1989
Bill: He is asking if he can add a chimney.
Don: On the Hallet house there is a section of the log cabin
wall which has no continuity. I told them to take out the stack
of firewood that is between two sections.

1989).
Eflin, Historic Preservation Planner presented the over-
the project as attached in records (memo dated July 12,
Roxanne: It is a designated historic structure within the
office zone district. The applicants own the building and want
to live in the city and put a dwelling unit onto the rear. We
need to deal with height, scale and massing. Is the size of the
addition appropriate to the historic resource. The west
elevation is the most visible. A full basement is being proposed
which possibly could be used for habitable space and reduce the
height of the addition. They are under the FAR and are only
asking for one rear yard variation for the garage area that
accesses off the alley. Staff recommends tabling until Aug 9th
to allow the applicant time to restudy the alternatives as stated
in the memo and taking into consideration massing, height and
scale. Possibly vertical breaks in the south and east elevation
to prevent so much horizontality
Bill Drueding: You will need a variation for the rear, side
upper level and a parking variation.
APPLICANT RESPONSE
David Melton: I have owned the building and have preserved it
since 1979 and have landscaped heavily. I need permanent housing
for my family. We eliminated windows we originally had for the
upper basement walls. We separated the massing and lowered the
height by making the entry at ground level. We also reduced the
square footage and changed windows. (See memo June 12, 1989 in
records)
David: Height: The addition is two feet high because we
wanted a minimum 8 foot wall on the second floor.
David: I have no problem with changed the west elevation
windows and eliminating one window on the east elevation. On the
south elevation the two arched windows will match. Due to the
12
Historic Preservation Committee
Minutes of July 12, 1989
mature landscaping the visibility of the north elevation roofline
will be mitigated. We have gone through a process to get where
we are and we have an application where the existing building is
unchanged and that was one of our basic desires.
Jake Vickery: There are no changes to the existing building.
COMMISSION~ COMMENTS & CLARIFICATIONS
Georgeann: The smaller windows on the west elevation are more
appropriate.
Gideon Kaufman, owner of house two doors down. David has owned
this house for about ten years and he intends to preserve the
house intact. It has one of the best lawns and landscaping plans
on Main Street. The FAR of the building is under what it could
be. The addition is under 2000 sq. ft. which is minimal for a
family. They have come up with a perfect solution. They have
kept the historical integrity of the house, get local housing and
everyone wins.
Rich Shariff, owner of property nearby. I go to the building a
lot and have reviewed the project and I am in support of the
project. The building is set back off Main St. and the integrity
of the building and landscaping is kept.
Roxanne: The code does allows for more square footage but we
are looking at a compatibility issue which is the number one
criteria.
Don: In general I like the project but do have questions about
the abrupt changes in the west facade of the addition and the
south and east facades. The south and east facade both contain
elements both on plainer surfaces such as the balcony railing
which is horizontal and also there are cantilever overhangs
without any vertical~ supports under them which change the
character of the house from vertical victorian which is basically
the way the whole neighborhood is to a very sharp break
stylistically. Possibly there is some way without changing the
plan to make those two elevation south and east of the addition
more consistent with the vertical expression of the neighborhood.
I have no problem with the height change of two feet.
Bill: I like the verticality of the west elevation but possibly
the horizontality could be worked on further as Donnelley has
stated. I also have no problem with the height and do not feel
there is a need to force the basement into an habitable area.
Jake: I like the "aggressive" approach but the overall building
13
Historic Preservation Committee
Minutes of July 12, 1989
is basically quiet.
Charles: The shifting of the porch element is where the
strength comes from. It needs some supports or elements that
make it work in harmony with the original architecture.
David: One of the reason for the cantilever back and the deck
with no supports is that we have to provide for the off-street
parking.
Don: There are other ways of doing it, brackets etc. that give
a vertical line.
Charles: Parking space #5 is impractical to get into and you
can stack 5 & 6.
Bill: We could waive one parking space.
Georgeann: Perhaps if the railing was a spindle type you would
get more of a vertical.
Charles: We might want to request a model if we are concerned
about massing.
MOTION: Charles made the motion to approve the proposed
addition for 135 W. Main Street as presented with a smaller west
window and with the condition that restudy be done about the
verticality and supports of east and south elevations, the
balcony deck and a study model be provided for final approval.
The length of the windows in the hyphen of the house to remain as
they were in the packet. The part of the house adjoining the
addition to the original, the windows to remain on the west wall
(windows that link the house) as they were in the packet. Rear
yard setback variation be granted as the Board would prefer to
see the addition pushed back. The side yard variances to be
resolved at final. Exact information on parking variation
request should be presented also at final. Further plan on
landscaping be presented at final also. Chris second. All

AMENDED MOTION: Charles made the motion that the applicant
should show the Board at final what the partial demolition
consist of. Don second. Ail approved. Motion carries.
400 E. HYNAN - AWNING
Brian Neveln, American Awning Company: The condo association
has approved the awning as they want to add awnings throughout
the building. The color would be burgundy. There are awnings
already on the building. We are proposing a different shape
