APPROVAL OF MI~[UTES
Cond. PUBLIC HEARING ON
THE HUTCH
FIRST NATIONAL BANK
Pre-application
The meeting was called to order and roll was
called. The minutes of the last meeting will
be tabled and reviewed at the next meeting since
not all the members have had a chance to study
them.
John Stanford requested adding one item to the
Agenda, that of a request from the First
National Bank of Aspen for some minor exterior
changes. Moses so moved, seconded by Burns.
All in favor, motion carried.
Gale Bryant is present once again to review the
plans by the owners of the Hutch for an addition
to the rear of their building. Bryant explained
that since the original application the basic
plans have been scrapped, and he presented the
new plans. The addition will still be a clap-
board structure. The rear of the existing
building is white, and the discussion of color
of the addition dealt with this and the front of
the building which is a different color. It was
felt that white would probably be the best and
blend in well with the rear of the building, where
the addition will be.
Groen opened the Public Hearing. There were no
comments from the Public, and the hearing was
closed.
Ms. End moved to approve the plans submitted by
the Hutch for the addition to the rear of their
building, with the condition that the color be
reviewed before completion. Burns, seconded this
motion with all members in favor.
This is an application by the First National
Bank to alter the exterior, front facade of that
building by changing one of the large, ground
floor windows into a door. Tom Starodoj, Pres-
ident of the Bank explained the difficulty the
customers have when they have to outside and
around to have access to the top floor of the
bank (if they don't want to ride the elevator).
The addition of this door would give access and
egress from the top floor offices. The bank is
now the sole occupant of that building has taken
over the top floor. The metal on the door would
be dark anodized. Besides adding access to the
top floor, they are having to make this change
to meet the fire code. Siegle asked if the
public hearing can be waived. This can be done.
Michael moved to approve the plans as submitted
by the First National Bank,
pre-application as well as
Moses seconded this motion,
favor.

COMMITTEE COMMENTS
John Stanford explained to the members that he
has resigned from the Planning Office, and will
be leaving effective Friday, April 14th. There
has not been someone appointed to take his place
in working with the HPC, and probably will not
for some time. He reviewed with the members some
of the maps and plans that are on file in the
Planning office that can be used when reviewing
applications. One such plan is of the down-town
area commerical/historic core. The buildings have
been divided into three groups of historic value.
When an application is made for this area, this
plan should be used to study the impact on the
historic structures, or if an application is made
that directly effects one of the historic
structures. Another such plan deals in the same
way with the Main Street Historic District.
There are also ariel photos of the historic
district that may be used for review.
Groen complimented Stanford on his work done with
the HPC and for all the time and effort Stanford
has put into the many projects the HPC has under-
taken to expand the historic districts of this
town. He has shown a great deal of interest in
this and been an asset to the HPC.
The meeting adjourned at 1:45.
