City Council Chambers MINUTES: The East side will be seen from the street, and in the other meeting they explained that in fact, there will be a consistency in patterns and illustrations from the old house to the new. The materials will be a brick,(they will be cleaning the brick of the old house) and they will match the new and old brick as closely as possible. The old brick was made here in Aspen, the general color will be matched. The singles will be the other material that you will see, and the shingles will have patterns in them,that relate to the old house. The shingles have a chopped corner, they look like scallop from a distance, but that they have a 45 o cut on every corner. and relates to the house itself in the front of the building is cut off at a 45 degree angle. The design was not intended to duplicate the orginal house but to blend in as closely as they can , borrowing parts from the old house reassembling them, using shapes that were used in the orginal house, and using protions that are the same. Nick Pasquarella...what about the roof line in the attic, was there going to be a sky light? Harry Teague the plan is not to have sky lights, the lights will come through the room by the little windows on the ends. There has been some restoration to the front porch, replacing parts that were rotten, but there is no change. Marge Riley...are the trees still staying? Teague Yes, there are the trees in the front and smaller trees on the side and landscaping of fruit trees also. Historic Preservation Committee Special Meeting July 2, 1985 1:00 P.M. City Council Chambers MINUTES: Teague the orginal house the singles have been painted, but they are not sure what choice of color they wish to use, they will do a color chip sample and go back to the orginal colors, that does not mean the orginal color that was used first, but what is best for the house, and will come back to HPC will a choice is made. Mary Martin ...wants the color as close to the orginal history and not an orginal statement Teague the singles and the trim and the gables ends will be painted. The roof itself is singles and it has been treated with a black kind graphite mix,and it will look the same. Bill Drueding ...for the record that the maximum hieght for the area for that zone is twenty five feet, and there is a roof line in the old house that will require a Board of a Adjustment variance. Also the location of the swimming pool will require a variance. Dan Deleno suggested to the members that he wish to request a resolution to recommend to the Board of Adjustment on the placement of the swimming pool stating that there is no other place on the lot except in public view to place the swimming pool, and would distract from the historic character if placed where the footage was more available, there is a required yard space of 15 foot on that side of the building. Tom Sardy had a non conformity, of a covered porch on that side of the house, and it would be a trade off situation with the request for the pool.

HPC prefers the same type of awnings on a building and colors. Guarrd Mosses: Sign on the Brand Building Harley Baldwin would like to see a sign done but one that has more charm and interest to it than the one of 1940. Patriotic Sons of America, Smuggler Mine Company, could be some of the themes. Guarrd would come back to the committee when he has a better idea of design, it would have to be a non commerical sign to stay out of the sign code requirements, a peice of Graphic Art. Perhaps the graphic art if the committee has the Patriotic Sons of America theme it would be ribbons eagles swirls banners. Other themes Brand Dance Hall, First National Bank, Smuggler Mining Company, Hyman Block. Guarrd will come back to the committee when he has more done on paper.
