Comming before the HPC was for new business, the review of the
placement of the satellite disc at 332 W. Main for the channel
23 T.V. (L.~.TV.) Joyce V. Hatton, Recreation Broadcasting of
Aspen INC. . This comapny has office space where they have put
a radio station in , in the last couple of years in the
Floradora Building; Asking permission to leave the satellite
disc in the side yard where they have ~lready~purch~ and
pl~ced the disc; Joyce Hatton maintaines that the location of
the disc is necessary to have satellite broadcasting, and that
the disc must be near the station for sufficient strenght;
This falls in the Historic District on Main Street, and also
is an Individual Historic designated place;
A satellite disc as such is not covered under the present
building code,z~ something should be done to cover such, ultra
modern or so called high technology disc in the town.
The radio station KSPN-FM came in on a conditional use,
and will go before Planning LnG Zoing for expanision of
conditional use. Colette Penne went on to say that yes, there
was not an exterior change to the builing but to the lot,
itself;That the station was in fact doing something physcial
especially in a historic district boundaries, and such a disc
is a noticable and large physical change to the historic
structure on the same lot, and should be considered a major
change. Not convience, but perhaps trees and stubs could
be placed in front of the disc to cover the impact from the
street, screening as such, a 10 foot evergreen or large linc
bushes, and perhaps Joyce Hatton should talk to her
Engineer and then a Landscaper and see what could be done, and
what type of reception will the disc recieve, and be prepaid for
the Public Hearing on January 11, 1983.
W.R. Walton resident of Aspen, spoke to the members even
though it was not a Public Hearing, saying that Ms Hatton
said this is only for broadcasting and telephone Companies
ulitiliz%more and more people are using and can become a
problem, and definitely does not belong on Main Street, in a
