.~ . MEMORANDUM TO: Aspen Historic Preservation Committee FROM: Amy Amidon, Historic Preservation Officer CC: Bill Drueding, Zoning Officer RE: 520 E. Durant, Ajax Mountain Building, awnings DATE: January 26, 1994 SUMMARY: Several awnings have been installed on this building recently, without HPC approval. The awnings are for Pizza Hut, Ross Andrews- Designer Goldsmith and Ajax Ski Shop. The first awnings installed on the Ajax Mountain building were for the Polo store, and all subsequent awnings were to be blue with gold lettering. Pizza Hut has put up a blue awning with white lettering on the skirt. Ross Andrews' awning is blue with gold lettering, but is the only one on the building which has large lettering on the face (slope) rather than on the skirt of the awning. Ajax Ski Shop's awning is in violation of the sign code because the logo on it is too large. An existing awning has been replaced by the Essence Natural Perfume shop. That awning is consistent with earlier HPC approvals and was approved by staff. There has been a longstanding problem with the amount of signage on this building. The property manager has submitted a plan to Bill Drueding, and a number of existing signs will be removed. Awnings will still be allowed. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the skirt on the Pizza Hut awning be redone with gold letters. Staff finds that the awning at Ross Andrews' shop is not in character with the other awnings on the building and recommends the lettering be placed on the skirt. The awning at Ajax Ski Shop may be approved on the condition that the logo be made to conform to the sign code. The awning on Essence Natural Perfume may be formally approved by HPC at this time. These approvals are conditioned on payment of HPC Minor Development application fees and sign permit fees. In the future, only awnings which are blue with gold lettering and which are approved by HPC before installation will be allowed. Any future sign applications will conform to the plan submitted to the Zoning Department.

.. 1 Historic Preservation Committee fou°~ Minutes of January 26, 1994 we have not done that due to concerns of the neighbors. 205 S. MILL STREET - FINAL DEVELOPMENT Larry Yaw, architect: The changes from conceptual were opening the area up and creating a cross block circulation so that you can enter the internal courtyard from two different areas. The other change is creating more verticality and we have carried the idea of the chanford corner across. The slate above was brought down to tie the two together. Amy: This is a good project and it is important along that street as there is not enough vitality there. I thought maybe the way the stairs were chopped off that maybe they should be cut back on an angle. Larry Yaw: With response to the awnings we think they will be the same and tie into the others. Maybe we need to use a different color. We can use the existing stairs and with the opening it is much better. Jake: What about the revisions of the windows. e-4 01/0 )7 1 Larry: The glass in the windows will line up with the glass in the 0.:·2'21-71 rest of the building and there will be no exterior lighting. Amy: We approved an awning for Chanin's and it was the same color of green so I would suggest using the same color. MOTION: Joe made the motion to approve the final development application for 205 S. Mill Street finding that it meets the applicable development review standards; second by Roger. All in favor, motion carries. 520 E. DURANT - AJAX MOUNTAIN BUILDING - AWNINGS Amy: We have had a problem with illegal signage on this building and I am trying to get them into compliance. Pizza Hut, Ross Andrews and Ajax Ski Shop. We need to decide if it is appropriate to have all of the awnings blue and gold when the HPC approved the Polo shop. Pizza Hut does not fit that. Ross Andrews has writing on the face of the awning and Ajax Ski awning needs to come into compliance with the sign code. I feel because the HPC said the awnings should be consistent years ago, we should keep to that. The problem is that all of these people put awnings up. Roger: Why did they put the awnings up illegally? Amy: Ross Andrews did his because it was getting near the i -S:L.€ 11 . 2.....
.. Historic Preservation Committee f ...... ..3 Minutes of January 26, 1994 christmas season and the rest I believe the owner of the building did not make it clear to them. Amy: Pizza hut is blue with white lettering. Peaches is blue with silver lettering and no ones awning was approved except the Polo shop. Roger: They should all conform to the Polo size, shape and lettering. Ross Andrews: The landlords position told us we didn't need city approval. When I talked to the city I found out differently. Specifically with my awning the lettering conforms to the signage rules and mine is the only awning with lettering. My awning is different from the others because its placement is close to a sidewalk and if I were to put it on the valance it would be a foot lower so visually on the valance you could not see it. That is one reason I ask that you let me keep it on the top and the name will not fit on the valance unless it is tiny letters. For me it is an issue of having a sign or not. I also replaced that old plastic awning and wooden sign that was Mama Marias that was not in conformance. Roger: Are there any other entrances like yours? Ross: No there are none others that are exactly the same. There is a T-shirt shop on the other corner but there are no stairs that come down to it. Roger: You are the only one on a diagonal corner. Ross: Also I have no other lettering in the window to clutter it UP. Roger: You are saying you are so close to the sidewalk that you couldn't see it. Ross: I talked with Bill Drueding the other day and my sign is conforming and I just need approval of the lettering on top by the HPC. Bill: We don't have a problem with Ross's but we need to be consistent. Joe: Ross has a unique situation and the lettering should be allowed on that part of the awning. I would not want everyone to to apply for this stipulation. Roger: All awnings should conform to the color, size and lettering Mi-_ . ·t 12
.. »3/ Historic Preservation Committee Minutes of January 26, 1994 as originally approved on the Polo Shop. Ross Andrews awning because of it distinct difference is allowed as is and all other awnings should have their printing on the valance or facia. MOTION: Joe made the motion that HPC approve the awnings on the Ajax Mountain Bldg. with the following conditions: 1) consistent in color, awning and lettering with what was approved at the Polo Shop. 2) Lettering appear on the valance with the exception of the Ross Andrews shop. 3) That the logos comply with the sign code regulations. Any existing awnings not in compliance should be replaced; second by Linda. All in favor, motion carries. 1994 GOALS HPC Amy: We have taken care of the AACP goals and one important thing next year is how we deal with demolition. We have the support of the City Attorney that we will review partial demolition and full demolition. We need to decide what we will defend and how we will address people coming in who want to tear down part of the non- historic building in order for us to review partial demolition. Bill: I feel it depends on the magnitude of the demolition because what gets rebuilt can affect the historic portions. 7 ~14£.:<51 1 64*31 kay Roger: So we are really looking at mass and scale. Joe: I feel if they are proposing any demolition of the historic portion it would not be considered minor. Amy: Some other goals are the maintenance guides, neighborhood character guidelines. Other issues are bonuses that we can give like the FAR bonus. Does that bonus have to be 500 square feet and could not it be 200 or some other figure that is compatible. Joe: I don't think we have granted that on any projects since I have been on the Board. Amy: Also in the past we have not wanted to deny anyone their due FAR and felt that it was not our role. I just wonder in some cases we should be taking a stand on the character issue and I use the stapleton project as my example. They were allowed to do what they had the right to do. There could have been plenty of arguments that it was not in the character of Main Street. Roger: There were two issues there: What od you want to happen on all of Main Street and you need a goal or plan for all of Main Street. That philosophy was not around and still isn't around when stapleton came up. - 1.- 13
