RECORD OF PROC E E DIN GS 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. NEW BUSINESS Growth Management Plan 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.
