Mona Frost asked to review the packet in short, because she will need to leave the meeting early. Georgeann opened the meeting. The new regular member appointed by City Council will be Pat O'Brian. Comments for the agenda items- Mona Frost. Hotel Jerome: So long as the greenhouse is in the center of the building off the dinning room, she agrees with the concept. If the white paint with the blue can come off and the orginal color restored to the brick. Awning request:Mill St. Plaza- Benetton, was fine. Some of the members stated that Mona might change if she listen to the other members comments. her opinion, Designation of Structures: 126 E. Bleeker, she has been in this house and is very much in favor of designation, 123 E. Hallam feels this house has been a part of Aspen history, and should be disignated. Mona...was glad of her reinstatement to HPC. The City is losing the big Cotton woods with out enough water and care, and she would like more ditches where ever it is possible to put them, because these tree are important part of Aspen History. AS much as the historical sites and buildings of the town. The Chitwood Building needs to have something done especially to the Mill Street side, this is a disgrace to the City of Aspen, the historic sites, and is one of the oldest building in town. Hans Gra~igers plans of a restaurant on Aspen Mountain. Mona is oppossed. From the peaks where they wish to put the building, from the right angle on the top of Aspen Mountain it looks like the form of a lady lying down and is called the Silver Queen or the Ute Indian Maiden. If the top is taken off Graimiger will be taking the head and face off the silver Queen, and that is more historic than another Aspen restaurant. Once it is blasted away there is no replacing or repairing it. Mona Frost was excused from the meeting. Report on the signage at Danish Antiks: Colette Penne Colette... receiving an up date on the memo from Bill Drueding, stating that Mary Webster has removed the following: the signs that do not have permits for placement, two walls signs over the window frames. The two Danish Antiks parking signs are reduced to a reasonible size and don't advertized Danish Antik's. The sign that said "Pine" has been removed, the sign that said "Pine" has been removed, the sign that said "Antiques" is an old sign and will stay, the sign by the front door Bill said he does not have a problem with.., there has been an effort to cut down the signage. Hotel Jerome: Perry Harvey... this is a phrasing remodel with the addition and phrase I undertaken in 1985. It will complete renovate the existing building. And asks for approval of a greenhouse structure, where the existing patio has been, off the double doors of the dinning room. It will be 48 feet back from the front corner of the building, and wilt~be 29 f~e% ~by~20 feet bY 16 feet tall and connected to the building by a five foot wide and four foot deep glass enclosed walk way. The Hotel Jerome has preliminary designation from the National Registry. The row of small wooden stores are comming off and the hotel will open up the windows behind the lobby in the ballroom. Georgeann...HPC wants the two facades that looks out on the street in first class condition, and the town needs this. The hotel has tried in places to remove the paint, and it has two or three treatments. THe goal is to take it down to the brick and paint the trim, there is some concern that it will be blotchy with areas where the brick is different. The test samples show that differnet brick has been used of the building. Georgeann... Would like to see the problem with the exterior on the main part of the building solved before the greenhouse effect is done. Colette... the Hotel Jerome will be a phrased project, rather than the whole bid addition, you will see the building restored and cleaned up. This is the plan. Perry Harvey... the hope is to start this winter and open by next Thanksgiving Materials: the type of glass will be determined later, there will be an aluminmum bracing system between the glass and the wooden doors, that can be painted so that it blends in with the rest of the Jerome, the design will be close to the period as possible. But the materials will be contemporiary. This will need to go to Public Hearing, the materials will stay undecided til the facade clean up, but the approval will be given to the structure. ~ Gretchen Greenwood moved to approve the preliminary for the "greenhouse" addition for the Hotel Jerome, seconded by Connie Mc Crudden, all in favor...Nick Pasquarella opposed. Motion carries. Nick...opposed the approval because he feels strongly that the Hotel should be cleaned up before any other approval is given. Members listen to Nlck...and agreed that perhaps an admended motion or a deadline should be given the applicant. But after futher discussion and the feelins given to the applicant, it was left to the Public Hearing to decide a deadline date for the facade up- grading. Review of the awning request for Benetton in the Mill Street Plaza by Cheryl Kaprielain, Colette Penne. The awning for the Mill Street Plaza were put on about two years ago, they are burgendy with samll lettering on the flaps of the awnings. Benetton uses green as their color, and is asking to use a Hemmlock tweed, it is a dark green with a lot of black in it, it does go with the street light color the City has. The building does have a dark green trim color and in front of Peaches there is a terra cotta panel. Benetton has the alley side of the building and them. is a window RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 100 Leaves HPC co~t. P~ge 3 November 13, 195 a window and the first doors, and their awnings would be on the fi~t store front. Colette... if all the tenants in the building accepted the choice of green awnings, ok, but if only one wants to put up the the green awnings, that is not a good idea. Pat Straight for Peaches in the Mill Street Plaza, is opposed to the changing of colors of the awnings, or allowing different colors for the building be used on different store fronts. Georgeann...the feeling of the committee is that they do not want multi-color awnings on the building, or a change of awning color. Zoe Compton moved that the awnings for the Mill Street Plaza stay as they are now, and that Benetton has to conform, seconded by Connie Mc Crudden, all in favor, motion carried. Designation of Structures: 126 E. Bleeker & 123 E. Hallam. Colette Penne... the owners of the houses that have not been design- ated already might be contacted and asked if they wank to be designated as historic places. If they wish to, there are advantages to having a house individual designated. The last ~lme HPC ~as'dOing this, Herman Ed~l, said said that the houses that were in the Main Street or in the Commerical Core Historic D~strict, were covered by an Historic overlay and Edel felt these places were already designated. These houses are individual structures of the miner's ere. This item will be tabled till all the members nave a chance to do a site visit.
