MEMORANDUM TO: Aspen Historic Preservation Commission THRU: Stan Clauson, Community Development Directo~ THRU: Julie Ann Woods, Deputy Planning Director ' T FROM: Amy Amidon, Historic Preservation Officer RE: 514 E. Hyman Avenue, Mason and Morse- Minor DATE: March 12, 1997 SUMMARY: The applicant proposes to change materials on the exterior of the existing building. This building was built in 1980 and is within the Commercial Core Historic District. No new square footage will be added. APPLICANT: Mason and Morse, represented by Jim Columbo. LOCATION: 514 E. Hyman Avenue. PROJECT SUMMARY AND REVIEW PROCESS: All development in an "H," Historic Overlay District, or development involving a historic landmark must meet all four Development Review Standards found in Section 26.72.010(D) of the Aspen Land Use Code in order for HPC to grant approval. 1. Standard: The proposed development is compatible in general design, massing and volume, scale, and site plan with the designated historic structures located on the parcel and with development on adjacent parcels when the subject site is in an "H," Historic Overlay District or is adjacent to a historic landmark.... Response: The proposal is to add sandstone details, wood corbels, a pediment, a tin :'ceiling," a new light fixture and sign, kickplates and a wood door, and to clad the existing metal windows with wood. It is a longstanding policy of HPC to discourage imitation or application of traditional Victorian architectural details on contemporary buildings, since this may misrepresent the development history and historic architecture of Aspen. The challenge for a designer working within a historic district is to create infill buildings which are compatible but not replicative of the historic resources. ~ EXHIBIT it _1-
, The existing building does not repeat many of the patterns established in the surrounding historic structures, but in some ways fits more comfortably into the blockface than the more stylized building to the east. Staff does not support a Victorian approach to the design of the Mason and Morse building. There are certainlyother modifications that may be appropriate, for instance, the fabric awnings, which seem in some conflict with the architecture of the building could be replaced with a more solid element, and signage or lighting could be improved. 2. Standard: The proposed development reflects and is consistent with the character of the neighborhood of the parcel proposed for development. Response: In general, the surrounding buildings are compatible with, but not imitative of the Victorian commercial architecture. 3. Standard: The proposed development enhances or does not detract from the historic significance of designated historic structures located on the parcel proposed for development or on adjacent parcels. Response: HPC does not support adding historic details to new buildings because it is thought to detract from the significance of the true historic structures. 4. Standard: The proposed development enhances or does not diminish from the architectural character and integrity of a designated historic structure or part thereof. Response: No historic structures are directly impacted. ALTERNATIVES: The HPC may consider any of the following alternatives: • Approve the Minor Development application as submitted. • Approve the Minor Development application with conditions to be met prior to issuance of a building permit. • Table action to allow the applicant further time for restudy. (Specific recommendations should be offered.) • Deny Minor Development approval finding that the application does not meet the Development Review Standards.
0 RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that HPC deny the application as proposed finding that the development review standards are not met. RECOMMENDED MOTION: "1 move to deny the minor development application for 514 E. Hyman finding that the development review standards are not met." 0 0 .

Galena Aspen, Colorado 81611 RE: Mason & Morse Building Renovations Description of Proiect: The Mason & Morse building is located at 514 E. Hyman in the City of Aspen and is in the Commercial Core Zone District. The current structure was built in 1980 and replaced the Gargoyle Building. The Mason & Morse building is neighbored to the west by the Elks Building and to the east by 516 and 518 E. Hyman . The Ute City Banque building is across the street to the South at the corner of Galena and Hyman ave. The proposal is to complete a facade renovation to the builiding which would utilize materials and elements of historic use and character in the downtown Aspen area. The current structure is very urban in nature and style although it does utilize a common brick facade. It is our proposal to articulate this common brick facade with elements of sandstone, stone banding and wood and stone crown and corbels. The window elements are currently of metal storefront construction. We propose to wrap the metal elements with wood detailing to present a feature more similiar in nature to the important buildings of the area. We feel that our facade change will enhance the general appearance of the building as well as more closely conform to the characteristics and materials of the architecure and ambiance of the downtown area. The facade change proposal will creat an infilling of continuity along Hyman Ave in this area. It is our feeling that the entire streetscape will be improved. The front courtyard will become more pedestrian friendly and inviting and the building itself will become more interesting and appealing. Other structures in this Historic Overlay District will benefit from the infill continuity of the facade change. The proposal is compatible in general design, massing and volume, scale and site plan of designated historic structures located on adjacent parcels. The proposal is consistent with the character of the neighborhood. EXHIBIT 1-1 13

MEMORANDUM TO: Aspen Historic Preservation Commission ... ' t THRU: Stan Clauson, Community Development P--4 V Julie Ann Woods, Deputy Planning Direct FROM: Amy Amidon, Historic Preservation Officer W RE: 514 E. Hyman Avenue, Mason and Morse- Minor DATE: March 19, 1997 SUMMARY: The applicant proposes to change materials on the exterior of the existing building. This building was built in 1980 and is within the Commercial Core Historic District. No new square footage will be added. On March 12, HPC voted to continue discussion of this application. The applicant has submitted a revised drawing. APPLICANT: Mason and Morse, represented by Jim Columbo. LOCATION: 514 E. Hyman Avenue. PROJECT SUMMARY AND REVIEW PROCESS: All development in an "H," Historic Overlay District, or development involving a historic landmark must meet all four Development Review Standards found in Section 26.72.010(D) of the Aspen Land Use Code in order for HPC to grant approval. 1. Standard: The proposed development is compatible in general design, massing and volume, scale, and site plan with the designated historic structures located on the parcel and with development on adjacent parcels when the subject site is in an "H," Historic Overlay District or is adjacent to a historic landmark .... Response: The proposal is to add sandstone trim and corbels, a pediment, a tin "ceiling," a new light fixture and sign, a . new door, a column, and to clad the existing metal windows with wood. Since the March 12 meeting, the applicant has submitted a revised design, and now proposes a smooth faced sandstone (limited split face stone will be used), a more stylized cornice, a different light fixture (not shown), and has added stone medallions inset into the brick facade.
0 Staff has had several discussions with the applicants, who feel that the approval of the two neo-Victorian structures to the east resulted in their building becoming an anomaly within the block, and who are in substantial disagreement with staffs position on the proposed project. Staff still finds that the architecture of the existing building does not easily allow it to be adapted to neo-Victorian or other more decorated styles. The suggestion has been made that abstract or contemporary details (for instance, wood or metal trellises or other projecting elements) could be used to soften the building if that is the goal of the project. Elements which support, rather than contrast with the existing building may able to add character to the facade and therefore strengthen its presence along that blockface. The design as proposed on March 19 is simplified from the original proposal, however staff believes that HPC would not find the eclectic nature of the design to be in compliance with the design standards, or compatible with the surrounding historic district, if this proposal were brought forward as a new structure to be built within the Commercial Core. As a middle ground, staff would recommend that elements which are not in significant conflict with the existing building, such as the awnings, smooth faced sandstone trim and medallions, relocation of the door, and a 0 new light fixture may be approved. The painted drywall soffits which currently exist may be replaced. with a higher quality material, although pressed tin may not be in keeping with the rest of the proposal if it is simplified further. Staff recommends that the sandstone pediment and frieze, and stone corbels be eliminated, because creating a centered element on the south facade works against the design characteristics of the existing building. The proposed column also is in conflict with the existing cantilevered area over the doorway. 2. Standard: The proposed development reflects and is consistent with the character of the neighborhood of the parcel proposed for development. Response: The building is somewhat unique within the Commercial Core Historic District. Some other contemporary architecture, as well as neo-Victorian commercial architecture has been infilled around the historic structures. The modifications proposed by staff are intended to be consistent with the existing structure and the neighborhood. 0
. 0 Response: The development will not impact the historic significance of any surrounding historic structures. 4. Standard: The proposed development enhances or does not diminish from the architectural character and integrity of a designated historic structure or part thereof. Response: No historic structures are directly impacted. ALTERNATIVES: The HPC may consider any of the following alternatives: • Approve the Minor Development application as submitted. • Approve the Minor Development application with conditions to be met prior to issuance of a building permit. • Table action to allow the applicant further time for restudy. (Specific recommendations should be offered.) 0 • Deny Minor Development approval finding that the application does not meet the Development Review Standards. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that HPC approve the following elements of the application: the awnings, smooth faced sandstone trim and medallions, relocation of the door, and a new light fixture. The painted drywall soffits which currently exist may be replaced with a higher quality material. Staff recommends that the sandstone pediment and frieze, and stone corbels be eliminated, because creating a centered element on the south facade works against the design characteristics of the existing building, as does the proposed column, and are in conflict with review standards 1 and 2. RECOMMENDED MOTION: "1 move to approve the awnings, smooth faced sandstone trim and medallions, relocation of the door, and a new light fixture proposed for 514 E. Hyman Avenue. The painted drywall soffits which currently exist may be replaced with a higher quality material. The sandstone pediment and frieze, and stone corbels are to be eliminated, because creating a centered element on the south facade works against the design characteristics of the existing building, as does the proposed column, and are in conflict with review standards 1 and 2." 0
