Terry End was excused. Also present was John Stanford of the Planning Office. Approval of Minutes Groen noted in the June 27th minutes, the second paragraph, it should read that the Building Inspector agreed to apx two feet. Mrs. Frost also thought that it should be noted that Michael did not have an es on the end of his name. Motion Mrs. Frost moved to approve the minutes as amended and Burns seconded. All in favor, motion carried. Old Business Groen noted that Council had approved the acquisition of the Sinclair site at their last meeting. Building Inspector Meyring noted tha~ the teepees in back of the Chuck Wagon were for sale only and were not being occupied, so he didn't think there was any problem with the temporary structures. Groen questioned whether this wouldn't be the same as a mobile home for sale in the downtown but Meyring felt that whereas there was a law against selling trailers in the core zone, there weren't any against empty teepees. Burns asked Stanford if he had anything on Main Street "H" and Stanford noted that he hadn't been able to get to it yet. Groen brought to the attention of members that the Vanishing American Heritage program, a circular of which he brought with him to the meeting, was $2 instead of the printed price of $10 and would be at the Wildwood Inn from 10-12 and 2-4 P.M. July 13th. Aspen Ski Corp - preliminary Architect V.A. Hairabedian and Ski Corp representative Harry Pratt brought in their plans for an addition onto the present Ski Corp building at 406 S. Mill. Hairabedian presented a rendering of the proposed addition and noted that they would continue the red brick, take the flat roof off and add some administrative offices. He would be putting in heavy timbers of the four hour wall type. Mr. Pratt pointed out that the original building had been built 15 years ago and that the new addition would only come out to the existing walls. Groen asked if they would be putting in any coated or reflective glass or adding any ventilating equipment on the roof. Hairabedian noted that it wouldn't be coated glass and that they were going to electric heat. Marsh felt that it complied with their criteria and should be given approval. Groen said that his only objection was the large glass areas but it was explained that they had had to take out several windows on the lower level to put in the new addition so they had tried to add the windows on the top. Motion Mrs. Frost moved to give preliminary approval to the Aspen Ski Corp addition. Seconded by Marsh. All in favor, motion carried. Groen explained that they would have to come in for final approval and secretary noted that it had been published for July 22nd. Woods Building - final colors Architect Rob Roy presented the final colors for the Woods Building addition. He presented penciled drawings and noted that he had followed through on the blue trim. Mrs. Frost asked if he would be maintaining the blue on the brick (on the bottom of the building) and he said that in compliance with HPC 7-8-75 Woods Bldg, cont'd Motion Motion Structural Renovations City Hall Commissioner of their wishes, the brick would either be sandblasted or chemically treated to restore the brick. Groen questioned if there were to be a secondary accent with Roy noting it would be white. Groen wondered if the wood cornice around the north end would be painted the same color as the other cornices. Roy said that he hadn't any plans but tha~ it was possible. Burns felt if they maintain the brick and keep the blue color, it would be an improvement on the building. Marsh moved to accept the final colors for the Woods Building. Burns seconded. All in favor, motion carried. Roy also asked if they would consider a minor change to the building that would affect the exterior. Although plans had not been submitted to the Building Inspector's office, they agreed to hear what he wanted. Roy explained that Albie Kern's office, which faces Hyman, is right off the platform/sundeck area and he would like to kick the wall out and move the pillars four feet. Groen asked if he would agree to paint the cornice and Roy said that he would comply with their wish. Mrs. Frost moved to approve the four foot extension to the facade of the Woods Building conditional that the cornice be painted to match the other painted parts. Burns seconded. All in favor, motion carried. Roy asked if the wrought iron fence were acceptable to them and members were affirmative. Roy also questioned whether chemical treatment was better than sandblasting. Groen referred him to a pamphlet that explains it better. Engineer Chick Collins came in to discuss plans for City Hall, which has gotten "H" designation. Groen noted that they knew the plans were for just stabilizing the building now but that they had concerns over if they would keep the access open on the east side. Collins said that they had no plans to keep it open once they've shored up the foundation. Mrs. Frost asked if there were to be another stairway and Collins noted that it was dependant upon the amount of money the City has to spend on the project. He said that he hasn't done any detail work but that it was possible. Groen asked if the roofing would be changed since it is presently tar paper. Collins was not aware of any changes being made in the roofing material. He was also asked if an elevator would be put in and where it would go. He felt that there were plenty of room for an elevator if one were put in but that this also depended on the amount of money Council could spend. Groen asked about the skylights that had been put in and Collins said that they are the plastic bubble-type. Collins noted that the rafters had split and they were in the process of putting in new beams. Groen said that he would like to see the roof treated as the original. Collins estimated the work being done now would cost around $68-70,000. Marsh wanted to bring up the horse corral being built in back of the First National Bank but Groen pointed out that it was not in their jurisdiction. Burns moved to adjourn and Glidden seconded. Ail in favor, meeting adjourned at 2:15 p.m. ~erk -2-
