Terry End and Mona Frost were excused. Also present was Bill Kane, City/County Planner. Aspen Ski Corp- Chairman Groen opened up the public hearing on the proposed final addition to the Ski Corp. building at 406 S. Mill Street. Architect V.A. Hairabedian again represented the Ski Corp and noted that the existing building was limited to brick and wood construction. He also noted that City Building Inspector had wanted him to make a separation of four hours but that he had only been able to make them two hours inside on the back and east sides. They would be adding another stairway and four new offices which would hold DRC Brown and Tom Richardson plus a secretary. Marsh asked if there had been any concerns by the HPC with Burns saying that there had been nothing except the glass but that would not be coated. Hairabedian noted that they would be matching the existing colors. Groen closed the public hearing. Motion Marsh moved to accept the presentation today. Burns seconded. All in favor, motion carried. Approval of Minutes Burns moved to approve the minutes of July 8, 1975. Michael seconded. All in favor, motion carried. New Business Groen asked the secretary to call members before the meeting to make sure there would be a quorum so that they don't have any more delays like at today's meeting. Secretary noted that, according to the by-laws, it was up to the members to let her know if they will be absent for a meeting. Historic Designation of Main St. Kane noted that he had assigned the work in the Planning Office according to priorities and that John Stanford would not be able to work on the historic designation of Main Street until November. Groen felt that the main problem with that was that they might be losing their City Attorney who is so familiar with the process and they might lose more time with someone who is just getting used to City Hall. He also noted that City Council had given the HPC a directive to make Main Street historic as soon as possible. Kane siad that one of the problems was that there was no longer any strong proponent of the designation on Council or the Commissions and that his office works under a push-down phenomonen. This means that the City or County gives them new projects that take priority over the older projects. He felt that the solution might be to work it in with the other projects. Marsh felt that they will lose ground if they don't get the process going. Groen said that maybe they should start going to more of the Council meetings and voicing their feelings. Burns noted that there was a chance of losing the Victorian Montessori school on Main Street. Kane suggeste d that Groen get together with Stanford and himself to work out the time requirements and Groen said that if there was a problem with Stanford's time, they could find people willing to help. Representative Jan Collins was not present at the meeting. Groen noted that they wanted to have two grills in the basement of the Wheeler because the dishwasher gets too hot. There evidentally had been no drawings and Stanford had told them last week that they couldn't make a determination until there were some drawings. Groen said he would not like to see grills exhausting odors onto Hyman Street. Members waited for Mrs. Collins until 2:00. Michael moved to adjourn with Marsh seconding. Ail in favor, meeting adjourned at 2:00 p.m. -1- Susan B. Smith,DepUty City Clerk
