APPLICANT: Susan Thomas. LOCATION: Popcorn Wagon property. 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 set up a reservations desk on the Popcorn Wagon site in the location shown on the attached site plan between June 1 and October 1 of each year. The desk will be 4' 11" wide x 3'1" deep. There will be no overhead covering. The applicant proposes to hang signs on the desk. These will require a sign permit and the ones shown on the enclosed sketch are probably over the amount of signage allowed by Code. Signs are a staff approval, however, input from HPC at this meeting is requested. There is no direct impact on any historic structure. 2. Standard: The proposed development reflects and is consistent with the character of the neighborhood of the parcel proposed for development. Response: The proposal has no negative impact on the character of the neighborhood. 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: The proposed booth does not impact the historic significance of any designated structure. 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: There is no impact on the architectural character or integrity of any historic structure. 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. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that HPC approve the minor development application. Further review and permits for signs are required. RECOMMENDED MOTION: "I move to approve the minor development application for Redhead Tours at the Popcorn Wagon, to be in use between June 1 and October 19f each year, with the condition that permits for signage are obtained."

Table stand on mall Bill, I am confirming our conversation this morning about space I will be renting for a small stand on the pedestrian mall this summer. It is for my company that provides scenic and four wheel drive tours around Aspen. After being in this business a year, it has become a necessity for me to compete on a more equal level with two of the companies that also offer tour services. These companies are Blazing Adventures and Colorado Riff Raft. They are able to book a significant amount of their scenic and four wheel drive tours from their table locations on the mall. They are also rafting companies but, hundreds of thousands of dollars in tour business \s booked by them from these locations. I am enclosing information about these companies " tour aspects" of their businesses, as well as my brochure and business background. As you can see, they are booking tours that are directly competitive with mine. My business plans are to add two vans and two, 7 person open top jeeps, this summer, In order to fill these vehicles, that are a significant investment, it is essential for me to have the opportunity to compete "head to head" with these other tour and booking businesses. After completing an extensive marketing analyses, over the past year, these are the additional number of vehicles that the visitors need for this type of business in the Aspen area. My plans are to locate a private property spot, as they have, and lease space for a small table on the private property only. One very possible spot is on The Popcorn Wagon property. Prior to Jack Stanford leaving town for vacation, he and I spoke and have a general meeting of the minds on the location and the rent on his Popcorn Wagon property. He will return the end of this month, when we will formalize our agreement. In order for me to move forward, for the 1st week of June opening, would you please let me know as soon as possible, if this is alright? Thank you for your assistance on this matter Post Office Box 1886. Aspen. Colorado 81612 • (970)925-7503 • (800)560-3+31 • Fax (970)920-1755 PK'S INC. ( POPCORN WAGON) P. 0.

Stanford ASPEN HIST€, ..-C PRESERVATION COMM] [ON JUNE 12. 1996 Meeting was called to order by Chairman Jake Vickery with Roger Moyer, Martha Madsen, Melanie Roschko, Susan Dodington, Sven Alstrom, Suzannah Reid, Mark Onorofski and Donnelley Erdman present. MOTION: Jake moved to add the Howling Wolf to the agenda; second by Mark. All in favor, motion carried. RED HEAD TOUR BOOTH Amy stated that this company owned by Susan Thomas offers tours around town and they are proposing to put up a booth on the Popcorn Wagon site and she is proposing a desk with some sort of an awning. The signage needs to meet the sign code and Staff will review that. Staff recommended approval with the condition that signs permits are obtained and that the desk will be in use between June l st and Oct. 1 st of each year which is consistent with what the Planning & Zoning Commission approved. Susan Thomas, sole proprietor of Aspen Red Head Tours stated that she started the business a year ago in July. She also has had a public relations and marketing business which is primarily nationally based for 17 years and this is her way to get into the hospitality business in Aspen. The tours include the history of Aspen and the west end Victorians. She had restored 8 Victorian homes in her past as the general contractor in Pensacolla, Fla. Susan T. stated that the booth would be custom made out of oak and hickory and she desires a canopy but the design cannot be done until she sees where the sun hits. Jake stated that the location would be off the patio into the mall. Susan asked if the booth would have to be attached to the bricks? Susan T. stated no as it would take five people to move it. MOTION: Roger moved to approve the minor deve£opment application for Redhead tours at the Popcorn Wagon to be in use June 1 to October 15th of - each year with the following conditions: 1) Perniits for signage are obtained. 1 ASPEN HISTO 2 PRESERVATION COMMI ON JUNE 12. 1996 2) Review ofawning will be handled with monitor and staff: second by Martha. All in favor, motion carried. 712 W. FRANCIS - PARTIAL DEMOLITION Amy stated that the applicant would like another addition to the house as the house is under construction presently. They want to do a garage with an ADU above it I the back. In order to do that they need to demolish a shed. Lawrence Orbe, owner stated that they came before the HPC last fall to get the shed removed for safety reasons and the HPC stated that a justification for the removal needed to occur and that in the meantime the shed should be stabilized. He stated that the shed was stabled before the heavy snows. The shed is in the way of the proposed garage addition. The shed is not an historic structure and is not on the inventory. It is a non conforming structure and encroaches on the property next door. Amy stated that the comment in the minutes referred to the other shed that was on the property along the side of the house that was not historic. This shed is not a Victorian building and the age has not been determined. The shed on the Sanborn map shows a shed but in a different orientation. Inside there are a lot of wire nails which suggest that it is not 19th century. Lawrence Orbe stated from his research the building is from the 1950's. The building was shored up on the inside and stabilized. Jake stated that the stabilization was to make the building safe and ensure that there is no further deterioration o f the structure. He also stated that the HPC should address whether or not the structure is historical and the enforcement aspect. Roger asked Staff if HPC requested that the siding on the house be kept? - Amy stated that on the condition of approval drawings were submitted for staff and monitor approval indicating how the building materials will be preserved. She also stated that there is a notation on the building permit that says salvage existing siding. Amy stated that she felt is was a violation 2 ASPEN HISTORIC rWESERVATION COMMISSIOi.
