September 8, 1980
The Aspen Historic Preservation Committee held a regular meeting on September 8,
1980 at 1:00 PM in the City Council Chambers. Members present were Jon Seigle,
Richard Cicero, William Clark, Florence Glidden and Marjorie Brenner. Sunny
Vann, Planning staff representative, was also present.
APPROVAL OF MINUTES
PROJECT REVIEW
The approval of the minutes was passed until the next
meeting because no one had the opportunity to read them
since they had just received them that day.
Aspen Ski Corporation
Addition
Preapplication Review
Sunny reminded the committee that Mr. Blan~ehad been her~
before but there was some question as to whether or not
he could proceed without going through Growth Management
They sat down with the City Attorney and worked out a
mechanism whereby the Ski Corp. would not have to compet~
under commercial GMP and therefore and therefore all he
needs for his proposel was HPC approval. Sunny said the
committee could chose to give approval all at once or
could schedule for a public hearing and give him pre-
liminary approval if he qualified today. Mr. Blann then
presented a drawing of the project. He said the whole
building was exactly as they saw it in the drawing. The
idea is to enclose the walkway in order to ~provide more
office space. He said they will be tearing down one
or two walls on the inside where it won't show. There
will be no change in the roofline. He said it will be
simple and straightforward because the Corp. wants to
be out of the building, hopefully, within the next year
or two. Bill Clark asked how it was determined that
the Corp. would not have to go through the GMP process.
Sunny said that if you expand your commerical floor
area you are subject to GMP. In this case, that porch
is construed as a walkway - it provides access to the
two rear offices on the back of the building. As such,
it is counted as part of their floor area ratio calcu-
lations in the original building. Therefore, simply
to enclose it is not increasing over and above the
existing FAR. At this point, Jon said it was probably
appropriate that this be handled as a preliminary and
final today. Sunny asked about the materials. M~. B~n~
said there would be all wood casement windows on the
porch, the siding will be 1' by 8' cedar. The siding
will be stained the same brown color as the rest of the
Ski Corp. There were no further committee comments.
William Clark made a motion to give preliminary and final
approval and to introduce the materials as part of the
record. Marjorie Brenner seconded the motion. Ail in
favor; motion carried.

Scoring Discussion
Jon Seigle stated he would not be present for the scorin~
procedure. William Clark will not be able to vote be-
cause of a potential conflict of interest with one of
the applicants. Because of one prior case which is
coming up for the scoring, where Bill removed himself
because of an apparant conflict of interest, there may
be unfair scoring on behalf of the other cases. Since
Bill wanted to be included in the scoring process, it
was decided that he could ask each applicant at the
meeting and they could decide whether he should be
allowed to score.
The meeting was adjourned at 1:25 PM.
