MONITORING PROJECTS

Augie: Welton Anderson has been hired for the Barnett project
at 517 W. Bleeker. He will be here the next meeting to report on
the changes.
Georgeann:

The Stallard House: We have gotten working drawings from the
pella people and I will look at the drawings and compare them to
the actual windows this week.
Bill Poss: The Committee had asked me to write a letter to the
City requesting funding for the purchasing of the windows. Since
we do not do that for other applicants that have a hardship I did
not write the letter. If the applicant (Historical Society) went
to the City directly I would reinforce them.
Steve: We should contact Bob Anderson to see if that is
appropriate.
Bill Poss stepped down.
516 E. Hyman Demolition, Reconstruction and Addition
Kim Wiel: We are talking about Cheapshots which is an old tin
building. This is a two phase development. The first phase
would be replacing the first floor that is there now and
structure it to receive a second floor.
The second phase is similar but taller. The project consists of
three floors: basement, plaza level and an upper story each con-
taining 2250 square feet. The basement will be used for storage;
the first floor will be retail and the upper floor would be
office space and probably one tenant per floor.
HPC MINUTES FEBRUARY 9, 1988
The conceptual review:
The new code allows for cash in lieu of open space if Planning
and Zoning deems it appropriate and we will attempt that through
P&Z. If we went to 25% open space it puts the building back
further and would put a hardship on the tenants and also it seems
to work a little better flowing with the open space in the street
if it is pulled ahead of Mason & Morse a little bit.
Georgeann:
it.
How far ahead of Mason & Morse do you intend to pull
Kim: Five feet. We are going to go for reduction of open space.
The building is basically the same size of Mason & Morse. It
has two floors two stories tall about 31 feet in height. We have
attempted to use a vertical element. The building will be mainly
brick with sandstone banding similar to the Elks Building. There
would be pink sandstone detailing over the windows and around the
building. There would be wood kickplates similar to Pitkin
Center.
Nick: On Phase I and II is that going to be a one story
building for a year or two and then be a two story.
Kim: Phase II needs a GMP allocation to build the second floor
as it presently stands. We feel that the Planning Office didn't
give us credit for everything that is there. They said they are
willing to re-verify it. At that time we will evaluate the
square footage that we need. We propose to build the entire
shell and only add the second floor when we receive an allocation
however they felt that would be circumventing P&Z's ability to
approve the design of the building. So as it stands we are going
to be a one story building and then add a second floor if we
receive an allocation.
Steve: We did feel that this project meets the criteria to
allow for demolition. This building has questionable structural
stability. The points about conceptual review of Phase I and
Phase II are the setbacks which we think are being handled
appropriately. The guidelines generally encourage continuation
of the alignment along the street front but here is a case in
which the street front doesn't really have an established
alignment. Stepping it back is the most appropriate at this
time. We feel the store front scale is appropriate and it
compliments some of the features of the Pitkin Center Building
next door. We raised some concerns with Phase II which would be
the two story building. We are concerned that the second floor
central windows are not really historic and to some extent are
not vertical elements and should be further studied. Kim has
HPC MINUTES FEBRUARY 9, 1988
addressed the massing with the vertical element although the
Mason & Morse is quite squat looking and we would encourage them
to further address it.
Georgeann: I'm not concerned about the massing. I think Steve
has a good point about he horizontal look of the upper window. I
don't think I would want a dormer or anything as it is nicely
treated but maybe it could be four windows across instead of
three which would make it more vertical. I'm concerned about the
short wall going up to Mason & Morse if there would be anyway to
make steps there or something to get the traffic to flow along
more softly.
Kim: If we are allowed to tear down the wall we will either
have to put steps or some kind of railing up.
Georgeann: I'm concerned about the color...it becomes too
monolithic. Maybe if you changed the store front or changing the
brick color you would get that feeling of separation which will
give it a more individual structure and a more vertical feeling.
Patricia: I have no objection to the windows because it does
make it different from the Pitkin Center. What about the awning
color.
Kim: I sent for information on other colors and it will be
different than the other building.
Charles: The building seems like it
Pitkin Center than anything else. I

no relief of brick.
Zoe: The demolition is agreeable and the store front scale is
fine. The upper bank of windows seems a little bit foreign to
the design of the building itself. Whatever color of awning you
choose it should be different than the Pitkin Center. The trim
at the top of the window appears very art deco. The buildings
are too similar and possibly slate could be used as an added
element so it doesn't look like an addition to Pitkin Center.
The presentation and design are excellent.
Augie: I have no problem with the design they are proposing
because the Pitkin Center building steps back and you loose what
could have been a massive structure all the way across. I would
encourage planting etc. so that the wall doesn't become a
deadend.
Nick: I find the proposed perfectly acceptable.

Steve: The direction of the Committee is to include in the
conditions of approval on page 5, #5 further study the materials,
the brick, stone, slate and wood in the structure. Also ~6
further study on how the steps and railing up to the Mason &
Morse building works. We would also eliminate ~3 of the

Kim: I have no problem with #5 but ~6 will be hard to do at
this time.
Georgeann: We could make our motion contingent that when you
come up with something for the steps that you have to come back
to HPC. We would like you to come back next time with more
representation of materials and more study on the windows.
Also if you don't get your 25% open space you would have to come

conditions:
Detailed representation of materials shall be presented at
HPC's final development review.
The second floor central windows shall be studied as to how
the window spacing may better relate to historic upper story

300 W. MAIN HISTORIC DESIGNATION AND CONCEPTUAL
DEVELOPMENT REVIEW
Augie: Monitor for 516 E. Hyman
Georgeann: Monitor for 300 W. Main
Scott McDonald: This is our design equation and it is the
minimum needs plus the HPC prior guidelines equals the restored
cabin plus the addition. What we own is a 1280 square foot four
bedroom log home situated in the middle of three lots and they
are O-office zoned. We are allowed a duplex construction of 6500
square feet and the existing structure has an assessed economic
life of 5 years and this is per Molica and Assoc. Our total liv-
ing area needs are 2600 sq. ft., of that we will have 410 sq.
ft. employee housing, the restaurant kitchen of 144 sq. ft. and a
residence living area of 2000 sq. feet. 162 sq. ft. of employee
housing will be incorporated on the second story. The Main St.
setback is approximately 45 ft. The original house is the
dominant structure and the addition height is the same as the
original house. The original house will remain at the present
location.
Zoe: What are the french doors and the railing made out of.
Scott: We haven't made a decision on the detailing. The house
is constructed with two sided logs. The railing would be heavy
timber construction. We are proposing three skylights to
provide natural lighting.
Steve: The McDonalds are trying to get designated and do a few
modifications to the original house and to do a good size
addition. The house doesn't have historic association that we
are aware of. We find that this house is a rustic cabin from
approximately 1944. We feel that the cabin is fairly unique in
its setting and in its prominence on Main St. We feel we could
support that it meets the criteria of a rustic style of the
40's. This cabin has good craftsmanship especially the fireplace
which has remarkable stonework. This cabin has a definite
contribution to the neighborhood on Main St. I am concerned that
the addition might actually decrease its historic significance if
it is not treated in a special way. We do support historic
designation of the property.
HPC MINUTES FEBRUARY 9, 1988
With regard to conceptual development: In the guidelines we try
to discourage skylights if they are visible from a public way.
The roofing material is pro-panel and it is considered generally
appropriate. The enclosure of the porch with glass on the 3rd
St. side is probably something that could be accomplished but we
would like to see further detail at the final review. Looking at
the addition of the design they have come a long way in trying to
fit a 2600 sq. ft. addition into the northwest corner of the
property in minimize the impact from Main St. They have concerns
about crowding the neighbor etc. We had some ideas of how
certain design alternations might be more acceptable in par-
ticular we were looking at the length of the roof, the length of
the walls, the window treatment, the use of perhaps a peak roof
and use of materials. The major concerns are the continuous
walls and the roof pitches of the proposed addition. A little
more attention should be paid to adhering to the original scale
of the lengths of walls and what appears to be a 12-12 pitch of
gabled roofs and cross gables. We suggest that they consider
designing the gables, cross gables and dormers and that they try
to break up the walls a little bit more effectively rather than
make them continuous. With regard to the second floor window we
realize the need for southern exposure but further study of how
to make that component more in scale with the original house
would enhance this structure. We also have suggested that the
eastern property line which is next to the Elisha's carriage
house; they are 4 ft. away from that property line and the
setback is 5 ft. We think they can meet that setback. In the
alley they have a problem with the design without doing something
radical like moving the house. There is a requirement of a 15
ft. setback and they are proposing 5.2 feet. They would have to
get a Board of Adjustment variance. Several options were given
on page 7. We are recommending tabling of this proposal for them
to come back with further study.
Bill Poss opened the public hearing.
Scott: I built this ramp which is in scale to what the sidewalk
is and you cannot see any part of the flat roof from Main St. A
gable construction would necessitate a loss in living space.
Caroline: Your eye wants to go the Elisha house and we wanted
something to traverse quickly so you don't catch it.
Zoe: The restaurant idea is charming and an excellent idea.
This building is significant to Aspen, Colo. and in a prestigious
spot because it is next door to one of the most famous houses.
If this gets historical designation the roof should not be metal.
I also think you need an architect as the design is not appropri-
ate. There should be no metal or clad showing from the street
and too much glass dilutes the house itself. It crowds the
HPC MINUTES FEBRUARY 9, 1988
Elisha house just a little bit. It is too different from the
main house and there is too much of a contrast to the main house.
It should be more compatible and possibly a little more of a
pitch to the roof; more of a traditional line.
Charles: The addition is not compatible with the original
house largely in mass. In trying to add to a building that you
would like to get designation for the addition should be
compatible with or possibly linked onto. The elements visible
from Main St. should be in a manner more keeping with a log
cabin; glass doors and the stairs that come down are not approp-
riate. They are a disturbing element coming out in front of the
carriage house.
Patricia: The glass doors bother me and the stairway is not in
keeping with the original house. The massing doesn't really
bother me.
Caroline: We are on a limited budget and limited time and we
can't afford an architect and we are using every square inch.
Zoe: The massing isn't bad but the design of it should be
compatible with the existing house.
Augie: The addition has to respect the existing building and
should be done in a similar manner with roofs, shapes and
materials. On the other hand the existing building should stand
on its own. The roof continues on so you tend to loose that
compatibility. I'm concerned about anything that will affect the
Elisha house. I would rather see something that relates more in
setback or something to what the carriage house is.
Nick: My only concern with the historical designation is I
would hate to see skylights used on a log cabin. I don't have
any big objection to the addition.
Joe: As far as designation I think it is great that they are
trying to put something together to preserve that. The square
footage that they are asking for is not anywhere near to what it
could be developed to. My concern is the horizontal long walls
and the use of more contemporary doors for the view and the
southern exposure. I would hate to discourage the applicant from
trying to work something out so the original house can be
retained.
Georgeann: Somehow we should work with these people because
this is a building worth keeping and they are trying to do
everything they can to keep it as much as possible the way we
want it kept. I agree that I wish you could have an architect
because you would come up with more concepts that would help you
7
HPC MINUTES FEBRUARY 9, 1988
come up with something that you would be happier with. We would
have to eliminate those steps in the front. They are completely
out of character. When you carried your natural materials over
into the new addition somehow you contemporized it. I'd like to
address the back and feel that could be handled better in some
way. These people have a good attitude and good ideas and I
think the massing can work.
Charlie: I want to commend the applicant that without an
architect this is a good presentation and helps us relate to all
the things that are going on. I agree with the board and
ignominiously we would like to see the structure saved. My
comment will be that trying to carry that roof line not higher
than the existing roof line made you design something that
perhaps is not compatible. I don't think it is appropriate that
you do an encroachment on the setbacks; the difference between
one or two feet you should try to comply with in the regulations.
Steve: The alley is 10 ft.
Charlie: If there is any place to encroach I would try to stick
to the alley.
Scott: We are limited to a very limited area to build for a
livable house otherwise it is not worth it. I cannot accommodate
all those problems. I would like a set consensus of what is
acceptable for this.
Bill: One concern I have is the height of the addition; they
have keyed in too much on that and tried to add on to the house
as opposed to getting a structure that is going to be different
and allow the log cabin to have its own identity.
Steve: That was a concern of staff also that possibly if they
came up with a peak roof a little bit higher it might actually be
acceptable because it might not overshadow the original house.
I would also encourage this Committee to accept some concept of
the encroachment in the alley as the applicants have to go to
the Board of Adjustments. They are proposing a 5.4 foot setback
and it is 15 feet that is required but that seems to be the most
compatible location for the addition.
Scott: The easy solution for us is to say forget it. I need
consensus on paper of what is acceptable for pitched roofs etc.
Charles: We are here to respond not design.
Georgeann: I would say everyone of us is willing to let you
encroach on the alley.

HPC MINUTES FEBRUARY 9, 1988
Charles: Have you considered building in the northeast
direction.
Caroline: We need parking for the restaurant.
Charles: It seems like you are trying to add everything to one
spot and possibly you should consider several small additions to
the sides of the cabin then you would get something more
compatible in terms of gables, porches, windows etc.
Scott: We have to live in this dwelling.
Augie: You are throwing your desires on this board whether you
want a restaurant and a house on this site is up to you. That is
not our decision.
MOTION: Georgeann: In trying to make a motion I have two
thoughts: We are generally approving the massing and if they
would re-study the design we would be willing to look at it the
next meeting which would allow them to move on at the same speed
they can move on and at that point some of us could talk to them.
On the other hand I could go into specifics and the specifics I
see are: Soften the contemporary features of the new addition on
the Main St. side; eliminate the dominance of the porch, the
steps etc. as they fight with the other building. They might
want to consider pushing that back a few feet and pulling the
eastern addition out a few feet to give them the same square
footage.
Georgeann, Zoe and Charles volunteered to work with the applic-
ants.
Georgeann: Lets make that motion to allow him preliminary
massing approval contingent on Charles, zoe and myself meeting
with him and discussing some of the possibilities that our
outlined in the minutes.
Nick: I second the motion.
Steve: Are you recommending tabling until the next meeting.
Georgeann: No I'm not because he would loose too much time.
Steve: I would recommend you tabling it because that is the
cleanest action. This project will not be ready for final review
because of all the other changes.
Charles: I would feel more comfortable tabling it at this
point.
HPC MINUTES FEBRUARY 9, 1988
Bill: Vote on motion. Georgeann, Zoe, Pat, Charlie, Joe, Nick-
yes. Bill, Augie Charles-no. Motion carries.
MOTION: Nick: I move to give approval for designation
withholding any skylights on the old building. No second.
Motion dies.
MOTION: Charlie: I make a motion that we designate the
structure historical provided however upon the approval of the
addition otherwise they don't want it designated. The motion is
conditional upon the boards approval of the addition.
Charles: I'll second that but I would like to amend it: that
the approval of the addition and any work that is going to effect
the existing structure.
Georgeann: So you are saying approval of the addition and any
changes to the existing structure.
Charles: Yes.
Charlie: They have guidelines on the existing.
Bill: We have a second and it has been amended. Discussion.
Augie: If we feel this building should be designate we should
do so whether it has an addition or not.
Georgeann: I feel we are trying to do too much too fast. I
think you would be wise to wait until the next session for
designation.
Scott: We don't want it designated until we get conceptual
approval.
Bill: You don't have to go through with designation we are only
recommending that it be designated.
Charlie: Georgeann, the motion is trying to keep in play their
time schedule and the designation comes concurrent with the
addition.
Ail favored the motion except Augie. Nick abstained. Motion
carries.

REMAND OF 222 E. HALLAM
Charles stepped down.
Lisa Purdy: I've been in the field of historic preservation for
over 10 years. I usually put buildings on the national register
for clients so I am familiar with how buildings are designated.
It is real important when you set up a system to also allow for
people to come back with additional information and relook at
what you had done. We have done more thorough research on this
house.
Richard Kline: We think the house was originally built in 1887
and it used to be 12 ft. by 44 ft. and was made out of clap board
and wood roof. That building no longer exists except for two 44
ft. logs underneath the house that was built second. The second
residence roughly built in 1887. The next addition was in 1889
which was a new front porch. In 1890 the rear of the house was
added onto with a porch. In 1893 the sunroom was added and an
additional addition was added onto the back. In the 20's the
porch was removed and a new one added on around 1924. In the
50's the porch was filled in and a new porch added on in the
back. In the 1960's the imitation siding was on the original
house and removed, cedar siding was placed on and is still
presently on the house. In 1977 there was an addition to the
back of the house again and the front porch again was altered.
In 1982 the sunroom was added on. A tree fell on the house in
1985 and at that time a metal roof was added. The siding and
windows have been changed. The corner of the sunroom is the only
part of the existing house that remains that was originally
historic.
Lisa: The essence of the question here are the alternations
that have been made to this house effected the historic integrity
of the house. 90% of the original house is lost, the only
original fabric left is that one corner of the sunroom.
I would like to address the system you have set up from 0 to 5.
Fours and fives are the cream of the crop in your system. I
think this house belongs as a 2 and possibly a three in your
system and the reason for that is so much has been altered on
this house. The house is esthetically pleasing. I have compared
this house with several others.
Bill: Most of the changes occurred before 1900 so all of the
changes are historic except the last two.
Larry: Ail the windows are new and the siding is new and the
roof is another material.
11
HPC MINUTES FEBRUARY 9, 1988
Steve: Council felt that the additional information should be
assessed again by the Committee. Some changes have been made
prior to 1904 but primarily the house had a few additions to the
rear between 1890 and 1893 and the sunroom was added around 1893.
The main alterations that we looked at were the replacement of
the siding and we thought that narrow siding probably matched the
original and very much in keeping. The original windows have
been replaced but the style is similar. The originals in the
sunroom are still there. The metal roof is not uncommon in
Aspen. The porch in 1924 does change the appearance of the
house. For the last 60 years the porch has been changed. The
question is does the period of historic significance end in 1900.
We felt that this house does have historic significance. We are
recommending that HPC keep it at a 94. If this house were in a
different neighborhood it probably would be a 93.
Bill: I'll open the public hearing.
Louise Vigoda owner of 232 E. Hallam, the Glidden House, who has
been involved with historic preservation for over 10 years
presented the Commission with a letter protesting the request to
remand 222 E. Hallam. That letter is attached.
Ann Austin: Louise's house is a total reproduction with a large
contemporary addition. If that is preserving integrity it
baffles me. The house that we are talking about has been changed
so many times that it is hard for me to believe that we are
saying this is something historic.
Sally Roache: I was at many of the neighborhood meetings where
the numbers were given to these homes and if facts were presented
that demonstrated changes the Committee took that very seriously
and numbers were lowered.
Gideon Kaufman: This isn't an issue of historic or not
historic. All we are arguing for is its appropriate score. We
feel this score should be a two or three.
Georgeann: Every house in this town has gone through changes.
Anyone could come to us and make this same presentation and
pretty soon we wouldn't have houses. One significant detail you
are saying is that a porch was altered in 1977 when a tree fell
on it, the porch could be altered back, that is not impossible.
The fours and fives are not the cream of the crop, above them we
have notable, exceptional and excellent. All we picked by making
fours and fives was to say we would like demolition review on
those buildings. This building would probably be given a three
but it is in a significant neighborhood therefore we gave it a
four requiring it to come before us for demolition review. I
12
HPC MINUTES FEBRUARY 9, 1988
think changing this from a four would be out of keeping with our
original review.
Patricia: I have reread all our standards again and I cannot
change that number in good conscience.
Nick: I was at the meetings and I also agree with Georgeann.
Charlie: I would say that we would want to rely on the Board
and that the ratings were well though out and are consistent.
Bill: In looking at the evidence I would not change my score
either.
Joe: I wasn't there but in looking at the standards for various
ratings it seems to be that the argument here is that it has been
altered. For %3 it says a structure has been altered in a way
that negatively effects its historic architectural integrity,
whereas %4 says the structure has been altered in a way that is
considered compatible with the original architecture. Were the
alterations made in a manner that negatively effect the historic
architectural integrity or were they compatible. Everyone can
draw their own conclusion from that.
Gideon: What Joe is talking about in %3 is exactly what we are
talking about. That hits the nail on the head. The %4 were
things that really weren't changed much. It is very hard for me
to understand what was done here when you have a building a block
away that had fewer changes and that is a two and this is a four.
It seems to be that there is a inconsistency.
Nick: Gideon you are saying that we are comparing one building
against another building. We just compared that particular
building against the criteria and we came up with a %4. The
consensus on the Board is that it remain a %4.
Zoe: Because of the strong influence on the neighborhood I
would score it as a %4.
Gideon: One of the statements that was made was that Mr. Amato
knew what it was scored when he bought the house. When he bought
the house he thought it was authentic.

MINOR DEVELOPMENT-SCULPTURE GARDEN, ENTRY GATE 411 E. HOPKINS
Bill Lipsey: I'm the architect acting for Laura Donnelley who
owns the old Aspen Jewelry Bldg. and the adjacent open space all
the way up to the Brand Building. We would like to take the open
space and make it a public open space that has a new terrace for
the existing restaurant and taking the rest and developing it
into a high level kind of environment for modern contemporary
sculpture to be placed in. Along the front property line we plan
to add five new trees and leave the existing tree and redo the
entire sidewalk from the curb to the property line putting in
tree grates. We felt to buffer the noise that a five foot high
wall should be put up. A steel picket fence would be between the
end of the wall and the Brand Building. The existing green
canopy that the Smuggler has will stay. We hope to put in a
decorative water sculpture. The idea is to make a space that has
a specialness when entering it and you would be drawn in by the
water feature. The sculptures would change over the seasons.
There would be opportunity for poetry reading. We have shown
this to several bodies and they all feel this would be a good
thing for the town.
Steve: The Planning office applauds the basic
would be 5 feet tall and the segments would be 21 ft. long each.
There would be a gate that closes the segments. The material
would be masonry, a sand blasted tinted concrete; the columns
would be stone and the roof metal. The concerns that we had are
the continuity and massing of the facade alignment. The
guideline in the commercial core encourages people to build out
to the street front if you are going to continue that continuity.
Is it appropriate to have a 5' high wall directly on the property
line with nothing to buffer it. A little separation from the
sidewalk might be desirable. I don't think the material is
inappropriate and staff would recommend approval.
Patricia: You didn't consider something softer like hedges for
security reasons.
Bill Lipsey: That is part of it, security and also do something
for the City that is civic oriented.
Georgeann:

be too harsh
I like the wall and it being on the street and
I am concerned about the materials that they might
and too much of a shock.
Patricia: But look what is across the street.
Bill Lipsey: The trees shadow the wall and you see them as an
14
HPC MINUTES FEBRUARY 9, 1988
ingredient in the whole look of things when you are on the
sidewalk. It also will have some pigment in it.
Georgeann: Maybe you could show us some examples.
Bill Lipsey: I also wanted to ask you your comments on the
color of the sidewalk.
Steve: That is a CCLC issue.
Bill: I think this is refreshing and it is nice to see some
contemporary things come into town.
Zoe: I agree with Bill and I would just like to see some
samples.
Charlie: Are you going to heatmelt the sidewalk.
Bill Lipsey: I don't think so.
