Bob Marsh, Florence Glidden and Norm Burns were in attendance. Also present was City/County Planner John Stanford. Approval of Minutes Old Business: Letter to Clayton Meyring Applications for new member Historic Designation John Stanford - Main St. Rezoning Groen mentioned some errors noticed in the August 23 minutes. Under Fothergill-Shaft, "amber" should be changed to untber and "based" should be baked. Under the Temple Allen building "Crayback" should be Crabacher and "shaving" should be saving. Under the Wheeler Opera House Restoration "Clark" should be Collins and Anrapoy should be inserted before "entranc~ in the second from bottom line of that paragraph. Burns moved to approve the minutes as they stood corrected and Glidden seconded. Motion carried. Groen asked that a letter be sent to Clayton Meyring regarding the yellow house on Main St in which the porch was to have been restored by the tenants/owners. The Committee would like copies of all correspondence with the tenants/owners that the Building Inspector has received. It was mentioned by Burns that the City Council will be voting on Jerry Michael's appointment to the HPC on Monday the 9th. Members were pleased with the choice as they feel that a member of the downtown business community is needed to round off the HPC. Burns also mentioned that perhaps Judy Ferrenberg, who will be leaving the HPC, should resign as of a specific date so that they could start lining up another member. Evidentally another application was to have been received by the City Clerk's Office but it was unknown as to whether the City Council would vote on it the 9th. It was also mentioned that Council would be voting on City Hall and other buildings that the HPC had recommended be designated Historic at that same time. City/County Planner Stanford wished to appraise the members of the change in the proposed rezoning code making Main St strictly multi-family although allowing for expansion of lodges and also reconstruction of already existing lodges if there is damage of over fifty percent of the building. Stanford stated that having Main St zoned multi-family would allow the Old Victorian houses to be used for boarders to help out the transients who prefer a dorm type of atmosphere. Groen felt that it would be a mistake to use the old houses as boarding houses because most are not set up for a number of people and overloading of pipes plus parking Sp~es would have to be solved.. Bob Marsh suggested that the City buy the easements to the facades of these old buildings to insure that they will stay the same as they are now. Groen said that most of the old houses would probably become condominiums rather than boarding houses since the price of land is so high that it wouldn't be worth- while for investors to make the houses into low rent units. HPC Criteria Letter to D.D. Brinkman Letter of Recommendation to the City Council Amendment to Criteria Committee Comments Stanford explained that the result of the study session with the Council and P & Z is that a pamphlet will be made up with the criteria and that the HPC would then give the pamphlet to architects as a guideline for the buildings. Members decided to get opinions from people in other parts of the state and nation who also are in the process of creating criteria. It was agreed that they would bring the criteria before the Architect's Association here in Aspen for more feedback. Groen asked that in the letter to be sent to Deanna Brinkman be included a request that she appear before the HPC and explain her reasons for putting in the mirrored glass on the greenhouse. Since the City Council had been at the study session with the HPC and P & Z, and no action would be taken for a while, a motion was made by Burns to table the letter until a later time'and seconded by Glidden. Motion carried. Since the criteria was going to be worked on some more before the final decision is made, Marsh withdrew his motion to insert some phrases into the criteria. It was mentioned that perhaps Jerry Michael would like to have a copy of the Resolution creating the HPC and also see the criteria so Florence Glidden offered to take them to Mr. Michaels before the Council meeting. Motion was made by Burns to adjourn with Glidden seconding. All in favor, meeting adjourned at 4:20. Recofdin~ S~cretary
