P4 MEMORANDUM TO: Aspen Historic Preservation Commission FROM: Amy Guthrie, Historic Preservation Officer RE: 435 W. Main Street, Aspen Jewish Community Center-Discussion of Cabin Relocation DATE: July 11,2007 SUMMARY: HPC granted final approval for the Aspen Jewish Community Center on January 24, 2007. The approval included off-site relocation of three historic cabins. Because landing sites had not been determined last January, the following condition of approval was adopted: "Final resolution of Relocation should be delayed until a site has been determined. To the extent that a new location site remains unresolved, this will not affect permit review and issuance, although an approved relocation site is ultimately a requirement." Attached is a list of property owners who have expressed an interest in taking at least one of the cabins, based on advertising that the AJCC completed some months ago. Staff would like HPC feedback on the positives and negatives raised by these sites. In addition, we have the following other suggestions in terms of City owned land; Burlingame, City Hall, Art Museum, Golf Course, Glory Hole Park, Koch Park, Yellow Brick, or warming huts/garden sheds at Marolt Open Space. At this time we have not undertaken any in depth analysis of how these cabins might fit or be used on these public properties. A meeting with Parks Department representatives is scheduled prior to the HPC discussion. P5 ..... o o N M ~ ::l """) ... o Ul nI - Ul Gl Ul ... s::: Gl .- - J:I s::: nI...

Main Street, Aspen Jewish Community Center- Setback Variance, Public Hearing DATE: July II, 2007 SUMMARY: The Jewish Resource Center Chabad of Aspen requests HPC approval for a sideyard setback variance related to their recently approved Community Center at 435 W. Main Street. The project is unchanged from HPC Final approval, however, at that time it was noted that an additional setback variance might be needed because portions of the proposed playground were not in compliance with a restriction on certain types of features being created more than 30" below, or 30" above natural grade within setbacks. The site slopes downward from west to east, and in order to allow the Community Center building and surrounding landscape features to be on one level, excavation of grade at the west end of the property is necessary. Staff finds that HPC approval of the variance is appropriate. APPLICANT: The Jewish Resource Center Chabad of Aspen, represented by Design Workshop, Inc. PARCEL ID: 2735-124-81-001. ADDRESS: 435 W. Main Street, Lots A-I, Block 38, City and Townsite of Aspen, Colorado. ZONING: MU, Mixed Use. SETBACK VARIANCE The criteria for granting setback variances, per Section 26.415.110.C of the Municipal Code are as follows: HPC must make a finding that the setback variance: a. Is similar to the pattern, features and character of the historic property or district; and/or I P9 b. Enhances or mitigates an adverse impact to the historic significance or architectural character of the historic property, an adjoining designated historic property or historic district. STAFF RESPONSE: The applicant has provided drawings that indicate the relatively limited area where a variance is needed. If the variance is not granted, the usability of a portion of the playground will likely be reduced or eliminated. The project as a whole was found to address the historic cabins on this site, and the character of the surrounding neighborhood, in a successful manner given the larger programmatic needs of the AJCc. At the time, HPC reviewed plans demonstrating that the ground floor level of the entire project was intended to be on one plane. It is staffs understanding that the floor elevation is driven by the existing elevation of the preserved cabins on the eastern end of the site. For that reason, we support the variance because it maintains the landmark structures in an appropriate relationship to historic grade, and promotes accessibility and efficiency in the design of the new project. Staff is addressing only the matter of the variance, and not any other aspects of the landscape design represented in the HPC application. Restudy of certain elements, such as additional softscape around the base of the historic cabins, were conditions of approval that will be reviewed separately through the staff and monitor process. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends HPC approval of a setback variance within the required west sideyard of 435 W. Main Street as represented in the application reviewed on July 11,2007.

P12 MEMORANDUM TO: Aspen Historic Preservation Commission THRU: Amy Guthrie, Historic Preservation Officer FROM: Sara Adams, Preservation Planner RE: 500 West Francis, carriage house, Minor Review- Public Hearing DATE: July II, 2007 SUMMARY: The subject property is a 19th Century carriage house located behind a two story Victorian residence in Aspen's West End. The carriage house has been altered over time with two shed roof single story additions; however the two story gable roof form remains evident. The applicant requests minor development approval to replace all of the windows. Staff recommends that HPC grant Minor Development approval with conditions. APPLICANT: Jerry Murdock of Gell-MannlMurdock, LLP, represented by Trevor Everett of Regan Construction. PARCELID: 2735-124-10-007. ADDRESS: 500 West Francis, Lots R and S, Block 27, City and Townsite of Aspen, CO. ZONING: R-6, Medium Residential Density. MINOR DEVELOPMENT The procedure for a Minor Development Review is as follows. Staff reviews the submittal materials and prepares a report that analyzes the project's conformance with the design guidelines and other applicable Land Use Code Sections. This report is transmitted to the HPC with relevant information on the proposed project and a recommendation to continue, approve, disapprove or approve with conditions and the reasons for the recommendation. The HPC will review the application, the staff analysis report and the evidence presented at the hearing to determine the project's conformance with the City of Aspen Historic Preservation Design Guidelines. The HPC may approve, disapprove, approve with conditions, or continue I P13 the application to obtain additional information necessary to make a decision to approve or deny. If the application is approved, the HPC shall issue a Certificate of Appropriateness and the Community Development Director shall issue a Development Order. The HPC decision shall be final unless appealed by the applicant or a landowner within three hundred (300) feet of the subject property in accordance with the procedures setforth in Chapter 26.316. Staff Response: The applicant proposes to rebuild all of the windows. The current windows, specifically those in the historic two story portion, are not original and do not convey the appropriate period of significance. Unfortunately, Staff does not have an historic photograph of the carriage house to accurately restore the windows. We assume that historically window and door openings were minimal on this outbuilding. Staff recommends that the applicant use double hung wood windows, without numerous muntins and mullions, to better reflect the nineteenth century era of the historic resource, and preserve the visual connection with the two story primary residence. Original trim, if any will be repaired where possible. 3.5 In a replacement window, use materials that appear similar to the original. Using the same material as the original is preferred, especially on character-defining facades. However, a substitute material may be considered if the appearance of the window components will match those of the original in dimension, profile and finish. We assume that the large window above the door on the east elevation was historically an opening with a solid door, or a window with minimal glazing. Staff is looking to HPC for direction as to whether the window should resemble a style is more in keeping with the utilitarian function of the outbuilding. East elevation, facing Fourth Street Looking west down the alley. The applicant needs to enlarge a window on the north elevation, in the one story addition, to meet egress requirements. Staff finds that enlarging the window for safety is appropriate and recommends that the applicant meet the minimum requirement to reduce the size of the alteration. The windows located along the north elevation are oriented horizontally, see Exhibit B; therefore double hung replacement windows will not work. Staff recommends that the applicant maintain the current style that is hinged on top. 2 P14 DECISION MAKING OPTIONS: The HPC may: . approve the application, . approve the application with conditions, . disapprove the application, or . continue the application to a date certain to obtain additional information necessary to make a decision to approve or deny. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that HPC grant Minor Development approval for the property located at 500 West Francis, Lots R and S, Block 27, City and Townsite of Aspen, Colorado with the following conditions: I. The windows are replaced with double hung wooden windows, to be approved by Staff and monitor prior to purchase and installation. 2. The second story window will be replaced with a style that expresses the original function of the outbuilding- a combination of solid and glazing to be approved by Staff and monitor. / ( (j :"dT''\L"J ) 3. The windows on the north elevation are permitted to remain the same style. 4. The window on the north elevation required to be enlarged for egress is permitted. 5. No elements are to be added to the historic house that did not previously exist. No existing exterior materials other than what has been specifically approved herein may be removed without the approval of staff and monitor. 6. There shall be no deviations from the exterior elevations as approved without first being reviewed and approved by HPC staff and monitor, or the full board. 7. The conditions of approval will be required to be printed on the cover sheet of the building permit plan set and all other prints made for the purpose of construction. 8. The applicant shall be required to provide the contractor with copies ofthe HPC resolution applicable to this project. The contractor must submit a letter addressed to HPc staff as part ofthe building permit application indicating that all conditions of approval are known and understood and must meet with the Historic Preservation Officer prior to applying for the building permit. 9. The General Contractor and/or Superintendent shall be required to obtain a specialty license in historic preservation prior to receiving a building permit. 10. The development approvals granted herein shall constitute a site-specific development plan vested for a period of three (3) years from the date of issuance of a development order. However, any failure to abide by any of the terms and conditions attendant to this approval shall result in the forfeiture of said vested property rights. Unless otherwise exempted or extended, failure to properly record all plats and agreements required to be recorded, as specified herein, within 180 days of the effective date of the development order shall also result in the forfeiture of said vested property rights and shall render the development order void within the meaning of Section 26.104.050 (Void permits). Zoning that is not part of the approved site-specific development plan shall not result in the creation of a vested property right. 3 P15 No later than fourteen (14) days following final approval of all requisite reviews necessary to obtain a development order as set forth in this Ordinance, the City Clerk shall cause to be published in a newspaper of general circulation within the jurisdictional boundaries of the City of Aspen, a notice advising the general public of the approval of a site specific development plan and creation of a vested property right pursuant to this Title. Such notice shall be substantially in the following form: Notice is hereby given to the general public of the approval of a site specific development plan, and the creation of a vested property right, valid for a period of three (3) years, pursuant to the Land Use Code of the City of Aspen and Title 24, Article 68, Colorado Revised Statutes, pertaining to the following described property: 500 West Francis.

The approval granted hereby shall be subject to all rights of referendum and judicial review; the period of time permitted by law for the exercise of such rights shall not begin to run until the date of publication of the notice of final development approval as required under Section 26.304.070(A). The rights ofreferendum shall be limited as set forth in the Colorado Constitution and the Aspen Home Rule Charter. Exhibits: A. Relevant Design Guidelines- Chapter 3 "Windows" B. Photographs C. Application Exhibit A- Relevant Desil!:n Guidelines 3.1 Preserve the functional and decorative features of a historic window. o Features important to the character of a window include its frame, sash, muntins/mullions, sills, heads, jambs, moldings, operation and groupings of windows. o Repair frames and sashes rather than replacing them, whenever conditions permit. o Preserve the original glass, when feasible. 3.2 Preserve the position, number and arrangement of historic windows in a building wall. o Enclosing a historic window opening in a key character-defining facade is inappropriate, as is adding a new window opening. This is especially important on primary facades where the historic ratio of solid-to-void is a character-defining feature. o Greater flexibility in installing new windows may be considered on rear walls. o Do not reduce an original opening to accommodate a smaller window or door or increase it to receive a larger window on primary facades. Replacement Windows 3.3 Preserve the historic ratio of window openings to solid wall on a facade. 4 P16 o Significantly increasing the amount of glass on a character-defining facade will negatively affect the integrity of a structure. 3.4 Match a replacement window to the original in its design. o If the original is double-hung, then the replacement window should also be double-hung, or at a minimum, appear to be so. Match the replacement also in the number and position of glass panes. o Matching the original design is particularly important on key character-defining facades. 3.5 In a replacement window, use materials that appear similar to the original. o Using the same material as the original is preferred, especially on character-defining facades. However, a substitute material may be considered if the appearance of the window components will match those of the original in dimension, profile and finish. 3.6 Preserve the size and proportion of a historic window opening. o Reducing an original opening to acconUnodate a smaller window or increasing it to receive a larger window is inappropriate. o Consider reopening and restoring an original window opening where altered. 5 P17 RESOLUTION OF THE ASPEN HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION (HPC) APPROVING AN APPLICATION FOR MINOR DEVELOPMENT FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 500 WEST FRANCIS STREET, LOTS RAND S, BLOCK 27, CITY AND TOWNSITE OF ASPEN, COLORADO RESOLUTION NO. _, SERIES OF 2007 PARCEL ID: 2737-073-38-004.

We are proposing to rebuild all of the existing windows of the carriage house using all original materials when possible. There is one window located on the east side of the house, note picture labeled carriage house. This window poses a serious safety concern to the occupants of the house. The window is located on the second floor of the dwelling. This window is mounted with a cabinet style hinge and is easily pushed open. The safety concern is the bottom of the window is the same elevation of the carpet. Should a child or any person fall against this window they can easily push through the opening and fall to the ground. We are proposing to replace this window with original materials and have an awning style opening on the top half of the window. The only other window that needs to be replaced is located on the north side of the house in a bedroom. This window does not meet current egress codes with the City of Aspen. This window will be built with original materials to meet current egress codes. 5YOO ~4 ...---rrevor Evereff Project Manager Regan Construction 970- 27 4-6465 mailJed ex & packages-300 Puppy Smith #203-265, Aspen, CO 81611 email-teverett@.reganconst.com phone-970-923-00 I 0 jax-970-920-0 132 lot2 P22 g:\support\forms\agrpayas.doc 02/01/06 Land Use Application ~ THE CiTY OF ASPEN PROJECT: ndicate street address, lot & block number or metes and bounds description of property) ParcellD# (REQUIRED) 273S-1.2~/!~7 res Name: Location: APPLICANT: Address: Phone #: Name: Fax#: E-mail: REPRESENTATIVE: Address: Phone #: E-mail :""/" t0u:\:--: Name: TYPE OF APPLICATION: (please check all that apply): o Historic Designation o Certificate of No Negative Effect o Certificate of Appropriateness IZI.. - Minor Historic Development o -Major Historic Development o -Conceptual Historic Development o - Final Historic Development o - Substantial Amendment o Relocation (temporary, on or off-site) o Demolition (total demolition) o Historic Landmark Lot Split EXISTING CONDITIONS: --- (,.,/:J PROPOSAL: (description of proposed buildings, uses, modifications, etc.) P23 FEES DUE: $ ....",~ 7\<./ General Information Please check the appropriate boxes below and submit this page along with your application.

MEMORANDUM TO: Aspen Historic Preservation Commission THRU: Amy Guthrie, Historic Preservation Officer FROM: Sara Adams, Historic Preservation Planner RE: 208 East Hallam Street, request for FAR Bonus - Public Hearing DATE: July 11,2007. SUMMARY: The subject property is a 3,888 square foot lot that is located adjacent to the Red Brick Center for the Arts and overlooks the public trail that leads down to the Post Office. A designated barn occupies the lot, and it has undergone extensive rehabilitation to improve the structural system and for livability added shed roof dormers. In 2002, HPC approved a large addition to the designated barn, see Exhibit A. Fortunately, the addition was never pursued and the barn remains the only structure on the property, as illustrated in the map above. Currently, the barn contains living space and a 352 square foot garage- 1,200 square feet of FAR is built on the site. In the R-6 zone district, a 3,888 square foot lot is permitted to build 2,648 square feet of FAR (exclusive of available bonuses), which leaves a remainder of 1,147 square feet of un built FAR on the property. The applicant requests the award of 120 square feet of the 500 square foot FAR Bonus to convert the garage into living space, 1 with the condition that 5 TDRs are severed from the property prior to submitting for a building permit and the property will never be eligible for the remaining 380 square feet ofthe Bonus. Staff finds that the application meets the criteria for a 120 square foot FAR Bonus and recommends approval. ] The first 250 square feet of garage space is exempt from the FAR calculation; therefore, 51 square feet of the garage count toward the FAR calculation. Converting the garage to living space will add FAR to the project. There are no exterior alterations proposed for the conversion. I P34 APPLICANT: The Frost Barn, LLC c/o David A. Belford. 2950 E. Broad Street, Columbus, OH represented by Mitch Haas of Haas Land Planning, LLC. PARCELID: 2737-073-14-003. ADDRESS: 208 East Hallam Street, aka "The Frost Barn", Lots D and E, Block 71, plus the remaining portion of Trueman Subdivision Lot 4, City and Townsite of Aspen. ZONING: R-6, Medium Density Residential. FAR BONUS The applicant is requesting a 500 square foot floor area bonus. The following standards apply to an FAR bonus. per Section 26.4l5.ll0.E: I. In selected circumstances the HPC may grant up to five hundred (500) additional square feet of allowable floor area for projects involving designated historic properties. To be considered for the bonus, it must be demonstrated that: a. The design of the project meets all applicable design guidelines; and b. The historic building is the key element of the property and the addition is incorporated in a manner that maintains the visual integrity of the historic building and/or c. The work restores the existing portion of the building to its historic appearance; and/or d. The new construction is reflective of the proportional patterns found in the historic building's form, materials or openings; and/or e. The construction materials are of the highest quality; and/or f. An appropriate transition defines the old and new portions ofthe building; and/or g. The project retains a historic outbuilding; and/or h. Notable historic site and landscape features are retained. 2. Granting of additional allowable floor area is not a matter of right but is contingent upon the sole discretion of the HPC and the Commission's assessments of the merits of the proposed project and its ability to demonstrate exemplarv historic preservation practices. Projects that demonstrate multiple elements described above will have a greater likelihood of being awarded additional floor area. 3. The decision to grant a Floor Area Bonus for Major Development projects will occur as part of the approval of a Conceptual Development Plan, pursuant to Section 26.415.070(D). No development application that includes a request for a Floor Area Bonus may be submitted until after the applicant has met with the HPC in a work session to discuss how the proposal might meet the bonus considerations. Staff Response: Staff finds that the proposal for a 120 square foot FAR Bonus to convert the garage into living space and voluntarily prohibit the property from obtaining the remainder of the Bonus (380 square feet), in addition to severing 5 TDRs will preserve the barn in its original 2 P35 form in perpetuity. The barn, as illustrated in the map on page I, is visible from a public walking and biking trail, and will contribute to the small inventory of largely intact historic outbuildings. Staff finds that criteria a, b and h are met: the barn is the only structure on the lot, it currently meets our design guidelines and the historic site will be retained in perpetuity. HPC does not have purview over the establishment of TDRs on this property; however, making the Bonus contingent on severing 5 TDRs and leaving virtually no development rights on the property (17 square feet) plays a large role in the qualification of this property for the FAR Bonus. The Bonus is based on the project's "ability to demonstrate exemplary preservation practices." Staff finds that granting 120 square feet of the 500 square foot FAR Bonus is appropriate and recommends HPC approval with conditions. Please note: Staff is consulting with John Worcester regarding the resolution and recordation of the condition of approval forgoing the remaining 380 square feet of the FAR Bonus, and will bring a Resolution to the HPC meeting on July II, 2007. DECISION MAKING OPTIONS: The HPC may: . approve the application, . approve the application with conditions, . disapprove the application, or . continue the application to a date certain to obtain additional information necessary to make a decision to approve or deny. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that HPC grant a 120 square foot FAR Bonus to the property located at 208 East Hallam Street, Lots D and E, Block 71, plus the remaining portion of Trueman Subdivision Lot 4, City and Townsite of Aspen with the following conditions: I. The 120 square foot FAR Bonus is granted for the conversion of the garage into living space. 2. The property will forgo eligibility for the remaining 380 square feet of the FAR Bonus in perpetuity. 3. The FAR Bonus is contingent on the establishment and severing of five (5) 250 square foot TDR certificates prior to the issuance of a building permit for the conversion of the garage space. 4. The development approvals granted herein shall constitute a site-specific development plan vested for a period of three (3) years from the date of issuance of a development order. However, any failure to abide by any of the terms and conditions attendant to this approval shall result in the forfeiture of said vested property rights. Unless otherwise exempted or extended, failure to properly record all plats and agreements required to be recorded, as specified herein, within 180 days of the effective date of the development 3 P36 order shall also result in the forfeiture of said vested property rights and shall render the development order void within the meaning of Section 26.104.050 (Void permits). Zoning that is not part of the approved site-specific development plan shall not result in the creation of a vested property right. No later than fourteen (14) days following final approval of all requisite reviews necessary to obtain a development order as set forth in this Ordinance, the City Clerk shall cause to be published in a newspaper of general circulation within the jurisdictional boundaries of the City of Aspen, a notice advising the general public of the approval of a site specific development plan and creation of a vested property right pursuant to this Title. Such notice shall be substantially in the following form: Notice is hereby given to the general public of the approval of a site specific development plan, and the creation of a vested property right, valid for a period of three (3) years, pursuant to the Land Use Code of the City of Aspen and Title 24, Article 68, Colorado Revised Statutes, pertaining to the following described property: 208 East Hallam Avenue. Nothing in this approval shall exempt the development order from subsequent reviews and approvals required by this approval of the general rules, regulations and ordinances or the City of Aspen provided that such reviews and approvals are not inconsistent with this approval. The approval granted hereby shall be subject to all rights of referendum and judicial review; the period of time permitted by law for the exercise of such rights shall not begin to run until the date of publication of the notice of final development approval as required under Section 26.304.070(A).
