Committee Comments
(New Business, cont.)
Historic Designation
Jon opened the hearing to the public for discussion;
none were made, he then closed that portion of the
hearing.
Norm made the motion to approve the building as
presented on the condition that the working drawings
be brought into the Planning Office for review and
to be stamped for approval. The awning selection,
if included in final plans, would be brought before
HPC for approval. The motion was seconded by Mona;
all were in favor, motion granted.
Jon indicated that there are three vacancies being
created on the Historic Preservation Committee: Lary
Groen, Norm Burns, and Jan Wirth. These positions
need to be filled soon (before April meetings) so
that a quorum can be maintained.
Gaard nominated Richard Cicero, at present an alter-
nate, to become a regular member of the HPC. Jon
seconded the motion, all in favor, motion granted.
Also nominated was Florence Glidden by Norm to become
a regular member. Lary seconded the motion; all in
favor, motion granted. These two recommendations
would be presented to City Council at their next
regular meeting for final approval and appointment.
However, with three vacancies created, two nomination~
for regular members being made, there is still a need
for one regular member and three alternate positions
to be filled.
Lary addressed Gaard concerning the sign outside the
Brand Building and what was to be done as far as the
restoration of it in the near future.
Gaard said that he had a contract to restore the sign:
the money had been allocated. But, no date had been
scheduled for the actual restoration.
Lary requested written confirmation as to when the
sign would be repainted. Gaard said that it would be
done this spring (1980), when the weather permitted.
Lary suggested to the committee that the signs in
all of Aspen could be restored through a fund drive
sponsored by the Aspen Visual Arts Center.
Bill Stoddard appeared before HPC to ask for the
procedure to follow for applying for an historic
designation of the Christmas Inn on Main Street.
Sunny asked that he come to the Planning Office for
instructions and requirements.
Norm made the motion to adjourn the meeting; Lary
seconded it. Ail members in favor, motion granted.
