All in favor, motion carried. 520 E. DURANT - MAJOR DEVELOPMENT (FINAL) Jeffrey stepped down Sarah chaired. Affidavit of posting - Exhibit I Amy stated that the view plan is not something HPC usually deals with, it is reviewed by the P&Z. We are going to see in the future more combining of reviews. Ajax Mtn. building is a non-historic building on the edge of the Commercial Core Historic District. HPC granted conceptual for a third floor and at the last hearing HPC focused on a couple of issues mainly the height of the proposed addition and wanting the addition to have more of a relationship to the existing fascia line and where the mechanical equipment would be located. View plane: When a property is within a view plane but the construction doesn't actually violate the view plane than it has in the past HPC can make an exemption. The Aspen grove building already blocks the view toward the mountain from the origination point of this view plane and staff finds that the criteria is met to grant the exemption. Staff recommends approval with clarification about some of the material palate, exterior lighting fixtures and mechanical equipment must be approved very specifically once it is known where it will be and what it will look like. ASPEN HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION MINUTES OF JANUARY 25~ 2006 Suzanne Williams and Rod Dyer presented for Jeffrey. There will be two- free market units and on ADU. After doing the study, the Aspen Grove Bldg. actually blocks the view plane. Story polls were placed on top of the building to indicate the actually height and pictures were taken from the Cooper Street Pier and you cannot see the top of the poles so we are definitely under the view plane. The new brick will match the existing brick. The location of the mechanical will be placed within the area of the existing mechanical. The roof has been lowered. We also have a construction management plan. This will include routing traffic, building scaffolding in the alley way. Additional safety netting will be added to the front of the building to prevent anything dropping into the court yard. Rod Dyer said for the most part the mechanical will be run through the existing roof not up and over. It will amount to building some chases. Sarah said you are talking about a condenser. Derek brought up commercial stove venting and air conditioning. Sarah opened the public hearing. There were no public comments. The public hearing was closed. Derek said we need to enforce that the mechanical equipment be centralized in one area. Jason said he could grant the exemption from the view plane because the Aspen Grove building is already in the foreground. The changes in the overall height are OK. Sarah concurred with the board about the view plane and the fact that the Aspen Grove bldg. is already in front of it. Amy requested an additional condition to the resolution that all the mechanical equipment be painted a matt, dark color. Sarah said we do need to see a roof plan that would be approved by staff and monitor. Rod said they have no problems with the added conditions. 2 ASPEN HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION MINUTES OF JANUARY 25~ 2006 MOTION: Jason moved to approve Resolution itl, 2006 for final approval and exemption from the Cooper Avenue view plan for 520 E.
