The wing of the building facing the Mall side would have an arch, an arch entry which the bricks will be stepped back as it approaches the glazing part. asked for a poll from the committee, Georgeann Waggaman said it is a bit over whelming for the building, but on the other hand it is not going to compete with the Wheeler, or ~he fountain; It does seem to have a false front look to it, as the other members were polled most felt as Georgeann Waggaman had stated. Bill Clark stated there will be a Public Hearing for this, and as far as he was concerned the arch was a little overwhelming, size and the width of the structure it will be in front of; amd when Don Ball does come in front of this committee for the Public Hearing to have the signage worked out, any details related to this , as color of brick, size and pattern exterior glass useage, so that the co~nittee can rap it up in all at one time, and a site visit before the Public Hearing which will be May 11,1982 Then Bill Jameson came before the committee to talk about his plans for the Scruptual Garden, in the patio area with pestals for the scruptures and the plans to build a fence around them for protection, a gate will be made out antique shaker iron and welded together about 6 feet high. Colette Penne mentioned that the increase of commerical space should be checked with the building department, and this item should also go to Public Hearing May 11; Also before going any f~er with the design changes they should check with the Planning department to see if these plans are allowable? Marjorie Brenner along with Georgann Waggaman said they like the idea so long as it fit into the code of retail space. It was mentioned that the t~PC does have another meeting beo~'c the Public Hearing that was schudled for May 11, which would be April 28 if DON Ball wanted to run something else by the committee more of an informal review. Mark Danielsen came before the HPC again for the Swiss Chalet, GMP Residential Project; after the visit to the site which was held this date at 12:15 P.M. with committee members. Mark Danielsen started out by saying that this was project was one of two projects that won the GMP residential allocation for 1981. The site of the Swiss Chateau Units to house 24 one bedroom units ranging from 750 to 800 square feet. the site is where the Swiss Chateau Cabins are now standing as you enter the town from highway 82 and Snowmass area, the Main Street of Aspen, Mark Danielsen continuedto say the Deaf Camp and the Anderson Ranch showed interest in obtaining the cabins. And this is why he comes be£ore this committee today to seek approval for the removal of these cabins for his boss HBC and to seek approval to construct 24 Units of employee housing project that was part of the GMP. The orginal GMP application could not get HPC approval,before the ~P application was mmde; of course there was a mortiam on Main iStreet at that time; no drawings were shownor approvals given from the HPC. HBC went ahead on the Victorl~n building plans, by maintaining the basic concept of height and open space and visual view area between buildings and other things that were mentioned in the HPC meeting at that time. Asked if any of the mention of,or pictures of,the Victor~g~ help in anyway of obtainingthe GMP allotment, was asked by Nick Pasquarella? Scoring was not based upon design, Mark Danielsen came back to say; Sunny Vann was the HPC advisory at that time, Colette Penne said and that Sunny Vann and then the members at that time, did in fact see,oF,talk about Victorian, and the members felt it was an outstanding effect in terms of making it look residental and good in design. Mark Danielsen then remarked the HPC never did give approval- because the HPC could not,,because of the Mortiam. HBC was only seeking information from HPC as to some of the thoughts might be if HBC would put a project on that site. Colette Penne mentioned that okay, but that this project had gone along way in the design stage, because when she began working for the City Planning office, he, Mark Danielsen, brought these Victor~ drawings to her and said this was the Swiss Chateau Project. GMP application consist of a conceptual application, nothing more, so all it is as Mark Dainelsen stated are requirement which to satify the conceptual application, the GMP does not score design archit~ur~or any thing else. Colette Penne said that the GMi~ does score on design and archi~tur~ Mark D. anielsen came back to say not at the point in time. He said it has since changed, since this project of HBC came before the deadline January 1981, September or August came the change where scoring would be based. The project has under gone many changes as the undergroun~ parking has come about taking 9 terrace units above ground now; That he has never belived in fake Victor~ concept for archii~ture design and have now gone to a Contempary design and material with earth tones in color and then brought forth a model. Discussion continented and brought forth was a date set for Public Hearing May 11, 1982. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 100 Leaves Comments were made by the committee,,about this project, that it had to much of a commerical look, and seemed totally wrong for where the planned site is; maybe even breaking it up-instead of two units into three, or setting it back might help. The stairway looks heavy for the front of the building, question directed to Mark, could it be removed and put in the back. On Removal of the existing building's Bill Clark cautioned HBC not to plan to move them untill just before what ever is finnally approved,not to whether, but when HBC can take them down. No, was Bill Clark's answer to, If HBC could take them down with the conm~lttee approval- in condition~o the items mentioned at this point in time. Mark Danielsen was suggested to, that he could come back before this committee April 28, with more imput. Mark Danielsen asked the members if he could amend his project or would he have to go do a complete different design? And Bill Clark stated~H~C had a split preference to whether a Contempary design opposed early Victorian Design. Last on the agenda was the final consideration of the awnings and signage for the Paradise Bakery by Ted Davis. The signage would like to be changed to Paradise Bakery from Cookies Muncher's Cafe and get rid of the two- for- one sign, and put Aspen T Shirt Station on the Galena side~ one for each business there, and to have the Awnings go around the Copper Street side just to balance without signa~e. Nick Pasquarella made a motion for approving the awnings and signage for the Paradise Bakery, Steve Marcus seconded the motion, All in favor. Motion carried. Meeting was then ajourned.
