Also present was Greg Cole of the Planning Department. WEST END OWNERS ASSOCIATION Members from the Association came to discuss with the HPC their intention to ask for a historic district designation. At the meeting were Max Freeman, Bill Kirwin, John Shoemaker, and Ramona Markalunas. Marsh, also a member, explained that they had started over a year ago in an effort to establish the district and they had obtained over half of the property owners signatures. Groen asked where the boundaries would be and Marsh thought they would be the whole area of the original West End. He thought the boundaries might be from Mill Street to the alley north of Main Street, 7th and Highway 82 and the Castle Creek River. After some discussion, it was determined that the boundaries would be Mill St. to the north alley of Main, to the river including Hallam Lake, Eighth and Hwy. 82. Castle Creek was ruled out because they had not gotten enough support from land owners in that area and they also discounted the Institute land since the zoning was so obscure. Inclusion of Main Street was also discussed with member Ramona Markalunas advising them not to include it because of the work load of Council now. She also mentioned that there would be problems with the criteria since the West End is primarily residential with different building criteria from the commercially oriented Main Street. Freeman suggested getting a group together to canvas the residents and lodge owners of Main Street. Members decided to ask that they be put on the agenda of the next Council meeting as per the suggestion of John Stanford, who thought they should approach Council first with their intentions before coming to the HPC for a resolution in favor of historic designation. ELECTION OF OFFICERS Groen asked that they wait until the next meeting before they have the election. NEXT MEETING DATE Members decided that they would like to have the next regular meeting on December 6th, rather than Thanksgiving week. TIME CHANGE Groen also asked if members would like to change the time of the meetings since it wasn't very convenient for Jerry Michaels to meet at 3:00 p.m. because of his restaurant. Motion Burns moved to change the time of the meetings to 2:00 p.m. and End seconded. All in favor, motion carried. Groen asked that Michaels and Frost be notified before the next meeting of the change in time. HOUSE AT 7TH & MAIN Glidden asked about the house that Joe Krabacher had shown them drawings for and Burns mentioned that he didn't recall giving approval to use tree stumps to hold up the porch. It was asked whether they had kept a copy of the plans but Burns said they should be the same as the plans Clayton has and if not, then they should investigate the situation. -1- HPC Minutes, 11-15-74 WHEELER OPERA HOUSE Groen mentioned the recent letter to the Editor in the CHAMBER OF COMMERCE Aspen Times in which Tom Sharkey had noticed the deteriora- OFFICE tion of the Chamber office and had offered to help redecorate it.
