ZONING: R-6. HISTORIc DESIGNATION AspenModern Criteria. To be eligible for designation on the Aspen Inventory of Historic Landmark Sites and Structures as an example of AspenModern, an individual building, site, structure or object or a collection of buildings, sites, structures or objects must have a demonstrated quality of significance. The quality of significance of properties shall be evaluated according to criteria described below. When designating a historic district, the majority of the contributing resources in the district must meet at least two of the criteria a-d, and criterion e described below: a. The property is related to an event, pattern, or trend that has made a contribution to local, state, regional or national history that is deemed important, and the specific event, pattern or trend is identified and documented in an adopted context paper; b. The property is related to people who have made a contribution to local, state, regional or national history that is deemed important, and the specific people are identified and documented in an adopted context paper; C. The property represents a physical design that embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period or method of construction, or represents the technical or aesthetic achievements of a recognized designer, craftsman, or design philosophy that is deemed important and the specific physical design, designer, or philosophy is documented in an adopted context paper; d. The property possesses such singular significance to the City, as documented by the opinions of persons educated or experienced in the fields of history, architecture, landscape architecture, archaeology or a related field, that the property's potential demolition or major alteration would substantially diminish the character and sense of place in the city as perceived by members of the community, and e. The property or district possesses an appropriate degree of integrity of location, setting, design, materials, workmanship and association, given its age. The City Council shall adopt and make available to the public score sheets and other devices which shall be used by the Council and Historic Preservation Commission to apply this criterion. Staff Response:- - - - - - - There is relatively little documentation of the subject building. The original building permit is attached as Exhibit B. Only minor additional permits, including a very modest expansion on the west side of the house, are on record. Following is an explanation of the Modern Chalet style, from the paper "Aspen's Twentieth Century Architecture: Modernism 1945-1975. Modern Chalet A distinctive postwar housing type in Aspen is locally termed a modern chalet. With its moderately pitched gable roof oriented to the fi°ont, it recalls traditional chalets associated with ski country, but in its expansive glass and minimal decoration, it also seems classically modernist, cis if the architect and client liked the chalet idea for Aspen's emerging ski identity, but updated it and made it modern to fit the community,s avant-garde tastes. Characteristically, modern chalets have low-to-moderately pitched roofs based on a 3:12 ratio: broad fa(ades organized in rectilinear solid or glass panels; overhanging eaves, frequently with exposed roof beams; glass often extending to the eaves: minimal decoration; and sometimes stone or brick piers. Tlie symmetrical modern chalets generally have a tripartite organization: a large central glazed area flanked by wood or masonry piers. Predominantly built between the late 1950s and late 1960s, these compact buildings were custom-designed fbr clients as well as erected by speculative builders. They have a rectangular,footprint and fit well on the gridded streets of the older West End and Shadow Mountain neighborhoods. For the most part, their sizable window walls are oriented to Aspen Mountain. Although some modern chalets, such as SOD E, Durant Street, served commercial purposes, most extant examples are residential. They, encompass a range of options, from single family to duplexes and even quadriplexes. While evoking such contemporaneous hybrid modernist homes as Eichler in California, Honn in Oklahoma, Keck in Chicago, and Koch (Tech Built) in the east, when compared side-by-side, the Aspen modern chalets not only look different, but arise out of different circumstances. Eichler and the others were meeting the postwar demand for suburban homes that fit the American dream of home ownership, up-to- date while still affordable. The Aspen real estate market was geared toward affluent vacation home owners who might be attracted to Aspen for a variety of reasons—the culture of the Aspen Institute, the skiing of Aspen Mountain, the charm of an authentic western town, or the cachet of owning property in such a desirable place. s Many ofAspen's modern chalets d>r. were built in the West End, close ,y h to the Aspen Institute and its intellectual and cultural offerings. Urban lots in this established neighborhood fitted the compact modern chalets well, yet they still offered mountain views. The modern chalets added to the West End's rich building mix, including Victorian cottages and Second Empire and Queen Anne mansions as well as postwar 625 Gillespie Avenue, designed by Benedict. City ofAspen files. traditional gabled chalets and classic flat-roofed modernist houses. Often two- and multiple-family structures, they, also represent a shift in Aspen' evolution as a vacation destination serving both winter and summer tourists. In 1957, Benedict designed two free-standing early modern chalets side-by-side on ,separate lots, at N, 625 & 615 Gillespie Avenue (demolished). Identical, the one- story structures had a horizontal � base of board-and- batten siding Rip punctuated by two vertical windows . �� _' ;t; -E; Tr defining the ground floor, and glazing in the upper gabled section ~" below the low-pitched roof. Simple ,, and straightforward, they were � topped by overhanging eaves and an extensive roof that encompassed a r � car port. Five other West end modern chalets date from 1962 to 1965 and show the range of variations within this simple vacation house (see right.) Manv modern chalets have glass to the eaves and flanking brick piers. Projecting balconies cantilevered across the front, injecting a three-dimensional rectilinear base that hover just above the ground are also common characteristics. Staff finds that historic designation criteria a and c are met. To date, one modern chalet (designed by Fritz Benedict) has been designated. Seven, including the subject house, have been identified as eligible structures located within the core of town. There are additional multi- family examples that could be considered in the future. This particular style of postwar architecture is a hybrid of other more common architectural approaches, adjusted to this mountain environment. While some modern chalets were professionally designed, others, such as 624 W. Francis, were owner or contractor interpretations. It is important to carefully consider preservation opportunities for this small collection of Aspen structures. The second component of designation is scoring the physical integrity of the building. Staffs score sheet is attached as Exhibit C. Staff scored the building as a "Best" example of AspenModem, with 18 out of 20 points. This is a classic example of the style, with relatively few alterations. Staff finds that designation criterion e is also met. BENEFITS HISTORIC PRESERVATION The Community Development Director shall confer with the Historic Preservation Commission, at a public meeting, regarding the proposed land use application or building permit and the nature of the property. The property owner shall be provided notice of this meeting. The Historic Preservation Commission, using context papers and integrity scoring sheets for the property under consideration, shall provide Council with an assessment of the property's conformance with the designation criteria of Section 26.415.030.0.1. When any benefits that are not included in Section 26.415.110 are requested by the property owner, HPC shall also evaluate how the designation, and any development that is concurrently proposed, meets the policy objectives for the historic preservation program, as stated at Section 26.415.010, Purpose and Intent. As an additional measure of the appropriateness of designation and benefits, HPC shall determine whether the subject property is a "good, better, or best" example of Aspen's 20th century historic resources, referencing the scoring sheets and matrix adopted by City Council. Staff Response: The HPC has determined 624 W. Francis to be a "best" example of a modern chalet. The incentives that have been requested as part of the AspenModern negotiation are: Expedited review. A fundamental request of the applicant is that the review process for this application, and the building permit, be expedited. Without the voluntary designation, the applicant could proceed to building permit for the proposed remodel. In fact, a permit for the non-landmarked version of the project has been submitted as of October 3`d, so that review can begin. If landmarking is approved, a change order will bring the project in alignment with the HPC approval. The applicant hopes to receive the permit by approximately November 15tH, which staff suggests be the goal of a commitment to expedited review. This is approximately 2 weeks faster than a typical turnaround time. The building department has a procedure for the queuing of permits with special considerations. Council can direct all City departments to expedite the permit as requested. The applicant is responsible for providing any missing information or corrections in a timely manner. The Chief Building Official has some concerns with being responsible for referral departments reviewing the permit in an expedited manner, however, none of the referral departments have raised significant objections to this incentive request. Waiver of permit fees. Permit fees are related to the valuation of the work and the amount of square footage affected. An estimated total cost of the permit fees for this project is $23,115. A summary, along with any opinion provided by the affected department, follows. Due to Building: $16.952 Plan check fee: $6,166 Building Permit fee: $9,487 Energy Code fee: $1,299 BUILDING REFERRAL COMMENT: Building recommends a 25% reduction in the permit fee and a 30% reduction in plan check fee. Building also states that their YTD revenues exceed budget projections and that a full waiver of the fees would be an insignificant impact. Due to Planning: $3,124 Zoning fee: $3,124 Due to Engineering: $972 Engineering Permit review fee: $133 Construction Mitigation fee: $839 ENGINEERING REFERRAL COMMENT: Engineering does not have any comments. The project is small enough where it doesn't meet a lot of our triggers. The waivers look fine to us along with the expedited review. Due to GIS: $260 GIS mapping fee: $260 GIS REFERRAL COMMENT: GIS does not have a policy in place for providing a fee waiver. If Council wishes to waive their GIS fee, we will accept that. Due to Parks: $7 Parks permit review fee: $7 PARKS/OPEN SPACE REFERRAL COMMENT: Parks recommends a 100% Reduction in Parks Permit Review Fee. Due to Water: $1,800 Tap fees: $1,800 WATER REFERRAL COMMENT: As a rule, there is no waiver of tap fees for anything but affordable housing. We have continually denied these waivers to non-profits, churches, etc. Tap fees are payment for construction work done and the City Code does not give us flexibility to decide who gets our services for free (which means the rest of our water users pay for it) and who doesn't. Waiver of impact fees. Building permits are subject to impact fees which include park fees, transportation demand management fees and affordable housing mitigation. These fees are calculated based on any increases in floor area. The proposed expansion involved in this remodel is approximately 480 square feet of floor area. All landmarks typically receive waiver of Parks and TDM fees by right through existing code provisions. The estimated fees for this project, along with the opinion of the affected department, follows: Due to Transportation: $293 TRANSPORTATION REFERRAL COMMENT: None provided. Due to Parks: $2,616 PARKS/OPEN SPACE REFERRAL COMMENT: Parks recommends a 50% Reduction in Parks Dedication Fee With regard to other typical impact fees, the project does not trigger demolition, therefore no affordable housing mitigation is required, landmark or not. The City cannot waive School Lands fees, estimated at $12,745, since they are collected on behalf of the school district. Use taxes and Sanitation District fees also cannot be waived. Tree removal. The applicant plans to remove a spruce tree in the center of the yard and an aspen tree that is too close to the house. A waiver of tree removal mitigation is requested. The Parks Department has visited the site and has determined that the trees are in declining health and can be taken out. The aspen tree requires no mitigation for removal. Due to Parks: $3,620 PARKS/OPEN SPACE REFERRAL COMMENT: Parks recommends a 0% Reduction in Tree Mitigation Fee (they do not have the ability to waive this fee.) Floor area bonus/TDR: HPC reviewed and approved alterations to the home on September 11` . The board accepted all proposed alterations to the side and rear of the house, but was concerned with changes to the deck on the front, most public, facade of the house. The applicant wished to fill in the area below the cantilevered deck with new living space. As part of a dialogue regarding preservation priorities and incentives, the applicant agreed to reduce the area of infill under the deck and after HPC offered a 250 square foot floor area bonus that could be added to the rear of the house or converted into a TDR at a future date. The applicant has chosen to accept the bonus in the form of a TDR, which can be awarded by Council. The total floor area on this duplex property, after the proposed remodel of Unit B, will be less than the maximum allowed for the site. However, Unit B is only entitled to 50% of the allowed area. Because the project exceeds the maximum for Unit B by 72 square feet, HPC also approved a floor area bonus in that amount as a preservation incentive. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends Council support the proposed AspenModern landmark designation of 624 W. Francis Street and the request for expedited permit review, permit fee waivers, impact fee waivers, tree removal fee waiver, HPC floor area bonus and the award of the TDR, as outlined in the attached ordinance. Council may wish to consider other options to waiver of fees, which might negatively impact certain departments. For instance, Council could have the permit fees or impact fees paid by the general fund. Council could also consider the TDR, which was not originally requested by the applicant and which has a potential value of approximately $200,000, to be adequate compensation for the costs of development and preservation of this structure. Council could decide not to approve the fee waivers or to approve less than 100% of the requested fee waivers in light of the TDR.

This property meets criteria c,d and e. c.The property represents a physical design that embodies the distinctive characteristics of a period or method of construction:This building is the type of ski chalets built in Aspen in the 1960s,fashioned after the small chalets that dot the hillsides of European ski resorts. The low angle gable roof,with a lot of glass to capture the views and very little to no ornamentation added,as was the style in the 60s and this property is a very good example of it. d.The property possesses singular significance to the City,as documented by the opinions of persons educated in the fields of history and architecture and the potential demolition or major alteration would substantially diminish the character and sense of place in the city as perceived by members of the community, This property,being such a prime example of the Chalet style of architecture that was so prevalent in the 60s and 70s in Aspen was noted in the summary of Historic houses as found in the West End of Aspen. The demolition or major alteration of this property would ruin one of the few remaining chalets and diminish the sense of the history of Aspen that is found in the West End. This building speaks to the social and cultural history of a specific time in Aspen's history. e,The property possesses an appropriate degree in integrity of location, setting,design,materials,workmanship an association,given its age. This property, meets all of these criteria. This chalet still possesses the original windows and wood siding; the house is set back from the street giving it a spacious front yard, is located in the West End,a little removed from the business side of town and is in very good condition. This chalet is a prime example of the homes built 40-50 years ago in Aspen,when skiing and ski resorts were bursting onto the world scene. 2.Application.

Willis Pember, Vice Chair Approved as to Form: Debbie Quinn, Assistant City Attorney ATTEST: Kathy Stric land, Chief Deputy Clerk 624 W. Francis—AspenModern HPC Resolution #28, Series of 2013 ASPEN HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION M_ INUTES OF SEPTEMBER 11, 2013 Dillon said we could do a sharp railing but it would look more of a Bauhaus period. Sallie thanked the applicant for listening to what the board said. The cut out on the deck might need more study for final. I also like the idea of changing the colors of the popups. MOTION: Patrick moved to approve resolution 427 with a restudy of the south west deck for final condition #2. Motion second by Nora. All in favor, motion carried 4-0. Willis, yes; Patrick, yes; Sallie, yes; Nora, yes 624 W. Francis Street Unit B —AspenModern negotiation for Voluntary Landmark Designation and Minor Development Review Debbie Quinn said the affidavit of postings are in order and the applicant can proceed. Exhibit I Amy said this is a voluntary designation of one unit in the West End. The unit is located on a 9,000 square foot lot that has a duplex that was built in 1964. The building represents the modern chalet style. The applicant will ask of council some negotiations and HPC is also asked to do a design review tonight. Landmark: Amy said staff recommends that the property meets two designation criteria. It is a classic example of the Modern Chalet style and has the traditional low chalet pitch roof form. Instead of the cut out and decorative railings it is done in a much more modern way. The windows on the front fagade go all the way up to the eave line and the railings are more of a square post. There are only a small collection of these buildings in town and most are residential but there are a few commercial buildings in downtown. This example is pretty unaltered. It was scored 19 out of 20 points and we do feel it qualifies for designation. There are examples of duplexes being designated instead of the entire site. In addition to designation the applicant is asking for some incentives: They are asking for waivers of permit review fees such as zoning fee, application fees and possibly tap fees. We need more explanation by the time this gets to city council on the value. There are also impact fees for parks and transportation which are usually in the 4 ASPEN HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION MINUTES OF SEPTEMBER 11, 2013 range of$10,000 or less. The property is already eligible for those if it is landmarked. An important aspect in this project is an expedited review. They want the permit issued within a reasonable amount of time. There are some trees in front of the house which are declining. There are two that the applicant wishes to remove and the Parks Department calculated a mitigation fee of$3,600. and the applicant would like to have that fee waived which is a council decision. There is also a floor area bonus requested. The new owner would like to make some minor changes to the building. On the front there is an existing important strong deck and they would like to make changes to the railing. They would also like to replace the window system on the front fagade and bring the basement level out underneath the deck somewhat. On the western side of the building they would like to add a closet as you enter into the mud room space. On the east side they would like to make a bay window projection near the kitchen area. On the north fagade of the building the alley side they would like to make an addition that is approximately six feet straight out on the gable end and they would like to enclose an existing car port and add a trellis. The most characteristic contribution portion of the building is the front fagade. In general staff is not raising concern on the smaller alterations around the building. I did make a suggestion with the six foot extension at the back that perhaps they tuck the new roof under the eave of the existing roof. That would be a way of distinguishing new vs. old. There are not many examples of this style of architecture. We are supporting changing out the window system and we are not supportive of changing the deck railing. We would like to see the existing railing maintained as is. We are also concerned about the basement expansion under the deck as the deck would not read as a projecting element anymore. You will see a revision for an expansion going out half way. Staff is recommending continuation. Usually the floor area for a duplex is shared 50150 and this project is taking a little more than their half and we didn't want to cause an unfair situation. What has been clarified now is that this applicant would like to use their half and then receive 133 square foot FAR bonus from HPC as part of the negotiation to cover the expansion that they are proposing. This was not addressed in the memo. The applicant is offering to enclose both sides of the garage to benefit the adjacent property owner. Elevations — Exhibit II Photograph of the front—Exhibit III Kim Raymond, architect presented 5 ASPEN HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION _MINUTES OF SEPTEMBER 11, 2013 Kim said the deck is 3 '/2 feet above grade. We would like to extend the floor area underneath the deck. Originally we wanted to pull it out to the edge of the deck but that takes away from the Modern Chalet look so we pulled it back a few feet. On the lower level we want to install three tall windows. Amy pointed out that the deck comes out 6. 10 feet. Kim said they want to come out 4 feet under the deck and have landscaping under it. On the back there is a car port and we want to enlarge that and make it a garage for both sides and we would keep the same roof pitch. We also wanted to bring the deck railing down a little and put a cap on top of the railing. We will keep the same slats. Sallie said if you change the windows in the front down below it will look different than the adjacent unit. Is it possible to take the square footage off the back? Kim said there is no way we can get the space in the back. The room in the front is very dark and we would like some light and there are already windows under there and we were just going to make them a little bigger. The front will look a little different but it is difficult to see because it is so far back and dark. Kim said the lot is 4,080 square feet. If you divide it in half they each get 2,040 square feet. By adding on we would end up with 133 square feet above our half. We would have 2,173 and that is why we are asking for the bonus and if ever the other side wants to add on they still would get their 2,040. After our side in done we won't have any FAR left. The existing is 1,632 and the total would be 2,173. The lot is 9,000 square feet in the R-6 zone. Vice-chair, Willis Pember opened the public comment portion of the agenda item. Jack Wilkie said he lives in the A half of the duplex and the owner is in the process of buying the other half. I have no objections and the addition under the front porch doesn't bother me at all. It will not be apparent from the street. I have lived there for 9 years and we have changed things inside. We have no intentions of changing the house. Being a condominium, my 6 ASPEN HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION MINUTES OF SEPTEMBER 11 2013 attorney is revising the condominium regulations to make the units more of a stand alone unit. I want to be totally independent of the B unit and still stay a condominium. Hopefully this will be done in a few weeks. I am asking for assurance if he gets designated that I can stay outside of it. I do not want the designation. I am willing to agree to the garage. Mark Friedland, buyer of unit B. My attorney is also working with Kurt Sanders to change the documents. If we receive the 133 square feet of bonus it would allow Jack's side to have their equal half of what is left in the future. Kim persuaded me to move back the windows under the deck and still maintain a viable project. My partners don't want me to do this but I am willing to do what helps Jack and Amy to achieve their goals. I bought Ellie's house in Starwood and re-did it. We didn't touch the outside at all and we honored her legacy. If there are minor things that can be done to stay within the confine of AspenModern I am happy to do it. Sallie asked if you didn't get designated how many square feet would you have left to develop the property. Kim said we could do everything we want including taking the basement as far out as we want and still have leftover square feet. Amy said they would not get the 133 square foot bonus that they are asking for. Kim said we are asking for the 133 square feet for the other units benefit. Mark said he wants it clear that in no way does he want to infringe on Jack. Jack said I do not feel I have been taken advantage of. Willis said condominiums often are designated on one side. What your lawyers are doing should also satisfy your separation. Mark said we are changing the windows in the front to match what Jack has now. My wife also wants me to match his flower boxes. Kim said the siding will be painted so that it looks new and we will have the new windows in the front. We will pull the basement back in. We are using 7 ASPEN HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION MINUTES OF SEPTEMBER 11, 2013 all the same materials except the deck railing and we can have that discussion. Willis said this is a great project and a great example of AspenModern. I whole heartedly support designation and the benefits that come with it. There are all kinds of fee waivers that council will weigh in on. Vice-chair Willis Pember closed the public comment section of the agenda item. Designation: Willis, Nora and Sallie agree that the property meets the designation criteria. Patrick said this is a great candidate if the proposed design doesn't change it. Proposed changes on the south: Nora and Patrick said they are ok with everything except the front. Willis said the requests on the south elevation are to change the head height of the windows to match the other side of the duplex. Kim said the head height right now on the windows is 6.8 and it is going to 8 feet. Willis said the second request is to change the upper balcony rail. Sallie suggested that the top rail be taken off and do nothing else to it to bring it back to the original. There are some instances where it doesn't meet code and because it is historic and important the building official can ok it. Kim and Mark said they would agree to the taking off the cap and bringing it back to the original state. Willis said the third request is moving the basement wall four feet to the south leaving 2.10 feet for the overhang. Willis said the fourth request is enlarging the windows for more light in the lower area. 8 ASPEN HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION MINUTES OF SEPTEMBER 11 2013 Sallie said the applicant can plant bushes all the way across there and you wouldn't see it at all. If the windows are moved forward it is the difference of being able to save the house or not save the house then we need to consider it. Nora said given the magnitude of the incentive being asked for I feel we have no problem with 3/4 of the changes happening but what you do see from the street is what is being designated. I totally get the need for more light. I am having a hard time supporting moving the windows forward. Patrick said he agrees with Nora. If the applicant get 99% can he leave the wall where it was to begin with because that is what makes it historic. Willis said in the criteria the cantilever would qualify as an aesthetic or technical achievement and I would hate to see that diminished. I don't mind seeing more glass in the lower area on the south because it is in the shadows all the time. I would support the head height change and adding windows in the basement and the hand rail the way it is. I wouldn't support moving the basement forward. Sallie said she disagrees with Willis's comments. Mark said if you go to the bottom of the house it is like a dungeon in that space and the room is almost unusable and if I don't punch it out a bit it is just a dark space. It is more than 1% to me. If I were to lose the punch out I would have no additional square footage which means I could go to the Building Department who will let me do it. I can do everything I want to do without asking your permission and go out further. I am willing to go out less and retain what you all want. The value of the building by being on the register and the inability to change it in the future is diminished far more. On an economic basis if I can't do anything, there is no incentive to designate, I am depreciating the property. I totally respect your point of view. It is the space that is not functional. Willis pointed out that we have up to 500 square feet for a FAR bonus that can be discussed and that might be of a benefit. Patrick asked if the board agreed that the building is worth saving, they all agreed. 9 ASPEN HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION MINUTES OF SEPTEMBER 11, 2013 Willis said he would rather talk about other incentives. Kim said if you push the wall forward it isn't going to change the way it looks. Maybe we pull the deck out a little further. Sallie said she thought of pulling the deck out further but it would look different than next door. Sallie asked the applicant if they get a 500 square foot bonus can you use it in the back rather than altering the front. Willis said by not moving it out you are losing around 100 feet. We are trying to work this out and give your options. Mark said the front yard is large and if we were to use the 500 square feet in the back we would basically lose the small back yard. Mark also said he appreciates the HPC working with him. Amy said another idea would be to use the extra square footage and create a TDR which can be sold or moved elsewhere. Mark said the deck is 6.10 feet out. What if I came out three feet? Amy said we are trying not to lose the effect of the balcony. Mark said HPC wants to keep the front as is and then we would receive the TDR's. I need to decide if swapping the TDR's is better than losing the bump regarding the value of the house. Amy asked the board if there is any additional compromise. Willis said it aligns with the living room wall which is the character of the building and he wouldn't move the basement forward. Patrick said he could accept the basement moving forward two feet and it would look better. The applicant needs a bigger room. Sallie said you are changing the glass anyway. 10 ASPEN HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION MINUTES OF SEPTEMBER 11 2013 Mark said I was asking for 4 feet but could go back to three feet with one TDR. Mark said he really wants to do the right thing. Kim said the HPC is trying to restore the front of the historic building and Mark's dilemma is that we need some direction. Sallie said he is about to spend a lot of money on re-designing and he wants to come back with something that we will approve the next time. Mark said he is trying to do something that benefits the community more than it is benefiting him. Sallie asked Amy's opinion about coming out three feet if it saves the building. Amy said it would be a shame to lose the designation opportunity over a foot. It is difficult to discuss the AspenModern because we are discussing changes that wouldn't be allowed on other building types. Usually the other buildings we discuss are landmarked. Kim said the front is so much in the shadow you can't see how far back it goes. We pulled it back so it is still cantilevered out and it is not visible from the street. Sallie feels this building is worth saving. Give them the TDR and pull the basement back. Sallie asked that they pull the building back another foot. Mark said he would agree to the foot and the TDR. Kim said we would ask for the 250 square foot TDR plus less than 133 square feet. Amy said the decision is for a three foot projection out under the balcony in exchange for enough floor area bonus to cover the new square footage and one 250 square foot TDR. Sallie said and we save the building. Jack Wilkie said his overhang is filled with flowers. 11 ASPEN HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION MINUTES OF SEPTEMBER 11, 2013 MOTION: Willis moved to approve resolution #28 finding that the designation criteria are met and that HPC recommends council award the incentives listed. That HPC grant the minor design approval with the amendment that the infill under the deck projects no more than three feet out from the existing basement wall and everything else is acceptable. UPC supports a FAR bonus that covers the expansion and an additional 250 square feet which the applicant can either use on the site or make it into a TDR. The railing is proposed to remain as is with the removal of the cap pending approval of the Chief Building Official. The windows in the basement are to be reviewed by staff and monitor. Motion second by Sallie. Roll call vote: Sallie, yes; Nora, yes; Patrick, yes; Willis, yes. Motion carried 4-0. MOTION: Willis moved to adjourn; second by Sallie. All in favor, motion carried.

Francis Street, Unit B, Starri Condominiums DATE: September 23, 2013 SUMMARY: 624 W. Francis Street is one unit in a duplex that was built in 1964. The subject property recently sold and the , new owners have applied for voluntary landmark designation through the AspenModern program. Only Unit B of this condominiumized property is being reviewed for designation. The unit represents the Modern Chalet style of Aspen architecture and is identified as a potential historic resource on the AspenModern map. The AspenModern process permits negotiation of special preservation incentives. Simultaneous with the designation request, the applicant plans a remodel. Expedited review of both the land use application and building permit are requested, along with development fee waivers and a floor area bonus. The Historic Preservation Commission reviewed the application on September 11th and recommended Council support the designation and incentives, by a 4-0 vote. Staff recommends Council approve this ordinance on First Reading. APPLICANT: 624 W.Francis LLC,represented by Kim Raymond Architects. PARCEL ID: 2735-124-09-012. ADDRESS: 624 W. Francis Street, Unit B, Starri Condominiums, City and Townsite of Aspen, CO. ZONING: R-6 1 HISTORic DESIGNATION AspenModern Criteria. To be eligible for designation on the Aspen Inventory of Historic Landmark Sites and Structures as an example of AspenModern, an individual building, site, structure or object or a collection of buildings, sites, structures or objects must have a demonstrated quality of significance. The quality of significance of properties shall be evaluated according to criteria described below. When designating a historic district, the majority of the contributing resources in the district must meet at least two of the criteria a-d, and criterion e described below: a. The property is related to an event, pattern, or trend that has made a contribution to local, state, regional or national history that is deemed important, and the specific event, pattern or trend is identified and documented in an adopted context paper; b. The property is related to people who have made a contribution to local, state, regional or national history that is deemed important, and the specific people are identified and documented in an adopted context paper; C. The property represents a physical design that embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period or method of construction, or represents the technical or aesthetic achievements of a recognized designer, craftsman, or design philosophy that is deemed important and the specific physical design, designer, or philosophy is documented in an adopted context paper; d. The property possesses such singular significance to the City, as documented by the opinions of persons educated or experienced in the fields of history, architecture, landscape architecture, archaeology or a related field, that the property's potential demolition or major alteration would substantially diminish the character and sense of place in the city as perceived by members of the community, and e. The property or district possesses an appropriate degree of integrity of location, setting, design, materials, workmanship and association, given its age. The City Council shall adopt and make available to the public score sheets and other devices which shall be used by the Council and Historic Preservation Commission to apply this criterion. Staff Response: There is relatively little documentation of the subject building. The original building permit is attached as Exhibit B. Only minor additional permits, including a very modest expansion on the west side of the house, are on record. Following is an explanation of the Modern Chalet style, from the paper"Aspen's Twentieth Century Architecture: Modernism 1945-1975. 2 Modern Chalet A distinctive postwar housing type in Aspen is locally termed a modern chalet. With its moderately pitched gable rogf oriented to the front, it recalls traditional chalets associated with ski country, but in its expansive glass and minimal decoration, it also seems classically modernist, as if the architect anti client liked the chalet idea for Aspen's emerging ski identity; but updated it anti made it modern to fit the community s avant-garde tastes. Characteristically, modern chalets have low-to-moderately pitched roofs based on a 3:12 ratio; broad fa(ades organized in rectilinear solid or glass panels; overhanging eaves, frequently with exposed roof beams: glass often extending to the eaves: minimal decoration; and sometimes stone or brick piers. The symmetrical modern chalets generally have a tripartite organization: a large central glazed area flanked by wood or masonry piers. Predominantly built between the late 1950s and late 1960s, these compact buildings were custom-designed for clients as well as erected by speculative builders. They have a rectangular footprint and fit well on the gridded streets of the older West End and Shadow Mountain neighborhoods. For the most part, their sizable window walls are oriented to Aspen Mountain. Although some modern chalets, such as 500 E. Durant Street, served commercial purposes, most extant examples are residential. They encompass a range of options, from single family to duplexes and even quadriplexes. While evoking such contemporaneous hybrid modernist homes as Eichler in C alifornia, Honn in Oklahoma, Keck in Chicago, and Koch (Tech Built) in the east, when compared side-by-side, the Aspen modern chalets not only look different, but arise out of different circumstances. Eichler and the others were meeting the postwar demand for suburban homes that fit the American dream of home ownership, up-to- date while still cffordable. The Aspen real estate market was geared toward affluent vacation home owners who might be attracted to Aspen for a variety of reasons—the culture of the Aspen Institute, the skiing of Aspen Mountain, the charm of an authentic western town, or the cachet of owning property in such a desirable place. Many,of Aspen's modern chalets were built in the West End close to the Aspen Institute and its intellectual and cultural offerings. tit-ban lots in this established neighborhood fitted the compact modern chalets well, yet they still of mountain views. The modern chalets added to the West End's rich building mix, including Victorian cottages and Second Empire and Queen Anne mansions as well as postwar traditional gabled chalets and classic flat-roofed modernist houses. Often two- and multiple family structures, they also represent a shift in Aspen's evolution as a vacation destination serving both winter and summer tourists. IN 625 Gillespie Avenue, designed by Benedict. v City of Aspen,files. 3 In 195?, Benedict designed two free-standing early modern chalets side-bv-side on separate lots, at 625 & 615 Gillespie Avenue (demolished). Identical, the one- story structures had a horizontal base of' board-and- batten siding punctuated by two vertical windows defining the ground floor, and glazing in the upper gabled section below the low- pitched roof. Simple and straightforward, they were topped by overhanging eaves and an extensive roof that encompassed a car port. Five other ff,est end modern chalets date from 1962 to 1965 and show the range of variations within this simple vacation house (see left.) Many, modern chalets have glass to the eaves and flanking brick piers. Projecting balconies cantilevered across the front, infecting a three- .,.... dimensional rectilinear base that hover just above the ground are also common characteristics. �.k r Staff finds that historic designation criteria a and c are met. To date, one modern chalet (designed by Fritz Benedict) has been designated. Seven, including the subject house, have been identified as eligible structures located within the core of town. There are additional multi- family examples that could be considered in the future. This particular style of postwar architecture is a hybrid of other more common architectural approaches, adjusted to this mountain environment. While some modern chalets were professionally designed, others, such as 624 W. Francis, were owner or contractor interpretations. It is important to carefully consider preservation opportunities for this small collection of Aspen structures. The second component of designation is scoring the physical integrity of the building. Staffs score sheet is attached as Exhibit C. Staff scored the building as a "Best" example of AspenModern, with 19 out of 20 points. This is a classic example of the style, with relatively few alterations. Staff finds that designation criterion e is met. 4 PRESERVATION BENEFITS The Community Development Director shall confer with the Historic Preservation Commission, at a public meeting, regarding the proposed land use application or building permit and the nature of the property. The property owner shall be provided notice of this meeting. The Historic Preservation Commission, using context papers and integrity scoring sheets for the property under consideration, shall provide Council with an assessment of the property's conformance with the designation criteria of Section 26.415.030.61. When any benefits that are not included in Section 26.415.110 are requested by the property owner, HPC shall also evaluate how the designation, and any development that is concurrently proposed, meets the policy objectives for the historic preservation program, as stated at Section 26.415.010, Purpose and Intent. As an additional measure of the appropriateness of designation and benefits, HPC shall determine whether the subject property is a "good, better, or best" example of Aspen's 20`h century historic resources, referencing the scoring sheets and matrix adopted by City Council. Staff Response: The HPC has determined 624 W. Francis to be a "best" example of a modern chalet. The incentives that have been requested as part of the AspenModern negotiation are: Expedited review. A fundamental request of the applicant is that the review process for this application, and the building permit, be expedited. Without the voluntary designation, the applicant could proceed to building permit for the proposed remodel. The applicant wishes to receive a permit for the landmarked project within the same timeframe that a non-landmark remodel would have been processed, which is estimated to be an 8 week review. Second reading of this ordinance scheduled for October 14`h. The applicant may submit for permit the following day. Because the ordinance goes into effect 30 days after approval, no permit can be issued until November 15`h, which staff suggests be the goal of a commitment to expedited review. The building department has a procedure for the queuing of permits with special considerations. Council can direct all City departments to expedite the permit as requested. Waiver of permit review fees. Permit review fees are related to the valuation of the work and the amount of square footage affected. An estimated cost of the permit review fees for this project is $21,300. This includes plan check, zoning, energy code, engineering, construction mitigation and GIS. The applicant also requests waiver of tap fees from the City Water Department, at a value of approximately $1,800. Although the proposed remodel is a relatively small project, stormwater mitigation fees may be applicable. The applicant is working with the Engineering Department to identify the requirements. REMP fees are also being defined. Waiver of some of these fees may be requested at Second Reading. Waiver of impact fees. Building permits are subject to impact fees which include park fees, transportation demand management fees and affordable housing mitigation. These fees are calculated based on any increases in floor area. The proposed expansion involved in this remodel is approximately 480 square feet of floor area. The approximate fee waiver for parks and TDM would be $2,900. All landmarks typically receive waiver of these fees through existing code provisions. The project does not trigger demolition, therefore no affordable housing mitigation is required, landmark or not. The City cannot waive-School Lands fees, estimated at $12,745,-since-they are-collected -0n- - - behalf of the school district. Use taxes and Sanitation District fees also cannot be waived. Tree removal. The applicant plans to remove a spruce tree in the center of the yard and an aspen tree that is too close to the house. A waiver of tree removal mitigation is requested. The Parks Department has visited the site and has determined that the trees are in declining health and can be taken out. The aspen tree requires no mitigation for removal. The fee to remove the spruce tree is $3,620. Floor area bonus: HPC reviewed and approved alterations to the home on September l Ith. The board accepted all proposed alterations to the side and rear of the house, but was concerned with changes to the deck on the front, most public, facade of the house. The applicant wished to fill in the area below the cantilevered deck with new living space. As part of a dialogue regarding preservation priorities and incentives, the applicant agreed to reduce the area of infill under the deck and HPC awarded a 250 square foot floor area bonus that could be added to the rear of the house or converted into a TDR at a future date. The total floor area on this duplex property, after the proposed remodel of Unit B, will be less than the maximum allowed for the site. However, Unit B is only entitled to 50% of the allowed area. Because the project exceeds the maximum for Unit B by 72 square feet, HPC also approved a floor area bonus in that amount as a preservation incentive. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends Council support the proposed AspenModern landmark designation of 624 W. Francis Street on First Reading. RECOMMENDED MOTION: "I move to approve Ordinance No._, Series of 2013 on First Reading."

Section 26.415.030.0--Designation of Historic Properties -AspenModern 1. Criteria. The building must have a demonstrated quality of significance;meeting at least three of five qualifying criteria. This property meets criteria c,d and e. c.The property represents a physical design that embodies the distinctive characteristics of a period or method of construction:This building is the type of ski chalets built in Aspen in the 1960s,fashioned after the small chalets that dot the hillsides of European ski resorts. The low angle gable roof,with a lot of glass to capture the views and very little to no ornamentation added,as was the style in the 60s and this property is a very good example of it. d.The property possesses singular significance to the City,as documented by the opinions of persons educated in the fields of history and architecture and the potential demolition or major alteration would substantially diminish the character and sense of place in the city as perceived by members of the community. This property,being such a prime example of the Chalet style of architecture that was so prevalent in the 60s and 70s in Aspen was noted in the summary of Historic houses as found in the West End of Aspen. The demolition or major alteration of this property would ruin one of the few remaining chalets and diminish the sense of the history of Aspen that is found in the West End. This building speaks to the social and cultural history of a specific time in Aspen's history. e.The property possesses an appropriate degree in integrity of location, setting,design,materials,workmanship an association,given its age. This property, meets all of these criteria. This chalet still possesses the original windows and wood siding; the house is set back from the street giving it a spacious front yard,is located in the West End,a little removed from the business side of town and is in very good condition. This chalet is a prime example of the homes built 40-50 years ago in Aspen,when skiing and ski resorts were bursting onto the world scene. 2.Application.

Francis Street is one : r> unit in a duplex that was built in 1964. The subject property recently sold and the new owners have applied for voluntary landmark designation through the AspenModern program. Only Unit this condominiumized property is being - reviewed for designation. The unit a represents the modern chalet style of Aspen architecture and is identified as a potential historic resource on the AspenModern map. HPC is asked to make a recommendation to City Council on the property's qualifications for landmarking. As a voluntary AspenModern designation, the application includes negotiation of special preservation incentives and HPC's comments to Council are needed. The new owner plans a remodel and HPC will conduct design review of proposed alterations as a Minor development. APPLICANT: 624 W. Francis LLC,represented by Kim Raymond Architects. PARCEL ID: 2735-124-09-012. ADDRESS: 624 W. Francis Street, Unit B, Starri Condominiums, City and Townsite of Aspen, CO. ZONING: R-6 1 HISTORIc DESIGNATION AspenModern Criteria. To be eligible for designation on the Aspen Inventory of Historic Landmark Sites and Structures as an example of AspenModern, an individual building, site, structure or object or a collection of buildings, sites, structures or objects must have a demonstrated quality of significance. The quality of significance of properties shall be evaluated according to criteria described below. When designating a historic district, the majority of the contributing resources in the district must meet at least two of the criteria a-d, and criterion e described below: a. The property is related to an event, pattern, or trend that has made a contribution to local, state, regional or national history that is deemed important, and the specific event, pattern or trend is identified and documented in an adopted context paper; b. The property is related to people who have made a contribution to local, state, regional or national history that is deemed important, and the specific people are identified and documented in an adopted context paper; C. The property represents a physical design that embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period or method of construction, or represents the technical or aesthetic achievements of a recognized designer, craftsman, or design philosophy that is deemed important and the specific physical design, designer, or philosophy is documented in an adopted context paper; d. The property possesses such singular significance to the City, as documented by the opinions of persons educated or experienced in the fields of history, architecture, landscape architecture, archaeology or a related field, that the property's potential demolition or major alteration would substantially diminish the character and sense of place in the city as perceived by members of the community, and e. The property or district possesses an appropriate degree of integrity of location, setting, design, materials, workmanship and association, given its age. The City Council shall adopt and make available to the public score sheets and other devices which shall be used by the Council and Historic Preservation Commission to apply this criterion. Staff Response: There is relatively little documentation of the subject building. The original building permit is attached as Exhibit B. Only minor additional permits, including a very modest expansion on the west side of the house, are on record. Following is an explanation of the Modern Chalet style, from the paper"Aspen's Twentieth Century Architecture: Modernism 1945-1975. 2 Modern Clialet A distinctive postivar housing type in Aspen is locally termed a modern chalet. With its nnoderately pitched gable roof oriented to the front, it recalls traditional chalets associated with ski country but in its expansive glass and minimal decoration, it also seems classically modernist, as if the architect and client liked the chalet idea for Aspen ' emerging ski identity, but updated it and made it modern to fit the community' avant-garde tastes. Characteristically, modern chalets have low-to-moderately pitched roofs based on a 3:12 ratio; broad facades organized in rectilinear solid or glass panels; overhanging eaves, f cqucntly With exposed roof beams; glass often extending to the eaves; minimal decoration; and sometimes stone or brick piers. The symmetrical modern chalets generally have a tripartite organization: a large central glazed area flanked by Zvood or nnasom-y piers. Predominantly built between the late 1950s and late 1960s, these compact buildings -were custom-designed for clients as tivell as erected by speculative builders. Thev have a rectangular footprint and fit well on the gridded streets of the older West End and Shadow Mountain neighborhoods. For the most part, their sizable window walls are oriented to Aspen Mountain. Although some modern chalets,such cis 500 E. Durant Street, served comnnercial purposes, most extant examples are residential. They encompass a range of options, from single family to duplexes and even cluadriplexes. While evoking such contemporaneous hvbrid modernist homes as Eichler in California, Honn in Oklahoma, Keck. in Chicago, and Koch (Tech Built) in the east, when compared side-bv-side, the Aspen modern chalets not on1 v look. different, but arise out of different circumstances. Eichler and the others were meeting the postwar derrrand for suburban homes that.frt the Americann dream of home ownership, up-to- date tivltile still affordable. The Aspen real estate market was geared toward affluent vacation home otivners i.vho might be attracted to Aspen for a variety of reasons—the culture of the Aspen Institute, the skiing ofAspen Mountain, the charm of an authentic western town, or the cachet of'otivning property in such a desirable place. Mann"of Aspen's modern chalets were built in the West End, close to the Aspen Institute and its intellectual and cultural offerings. Urban lots in this established neighborhood fitted the compact modern chalets well, yet they still offered mountain views. The modern chalets added to the West End's rich building mix, including Victorian cottages and Second Empire and Oueen Anne mansions as well as postwar traditional gabled chalets and classic flat-roofed modernist houses. Often two- and multiple-family structures, thev also represent a shift in Aspen's evolution as a vacation destination serving both winter and summer tourists. F 625 Gillespie Avenue, designed by Benedict. City ofAspen files. 3 ORI In 1957, Benedict designed two free-standing early modern chalets side-bv-side on separate lots, at 625 c& 615 Gillespie Avenue (demolished). Identical, the one- story structures had a horizontal base of board-and- batten siding punctuated by two vertical tivindows defining the ground floor, and gla--ing in the , . upper gabled section below, the Imi-pitched roof. Simple and straightfom,ard, they were topped by overhanging .a` eaves and an extensive roof that encompassed a carport. Fine other~ Vest end modern chalets date fi°oin 1962 to � P 1965 and shotiv the range of mriations within this simple vacation. house (see right.) Manv modern chalets have glass to the eaves and flanking brick: piers. Projecting , balconies cantilevered across the front, injecting a three- dimensional rectilinear base that hover just above the ground are also common characteristics. Staff finds that historic designation criteria a and c are met. To date, one modern chalet (designed by Fritz Benedict) has been designated. Seven, including the subject house, have been identified as eligible structures located within the core of town. There are additional multi- family examples that could be considered in the future. This particular style of postwar architecture is a hybrid of other more common architectural approaches, adjusted to this mountain environment. While some modern chalets were professionally designed, others, such as 624 W. Francis, were owner or contractor interpretations. It is important to carefully consider preservation opportunities for this small collection of Aspen structures. The second component of designation is scoring the physical integrity of the building. Staff's score sheet is attached as Exhibit C. Staff scored the building as a "Best' example of AspenModern, with 19 out of 20 points. This is a classic example of the style, with relatively few alterations. Staff finds that designation criterion e is met. 4 HISTORIC PRESERVATION BENEFITS The Community Development Director shall confer with the Historic Preservation Commission, at a public meeting, regarding the proposed land use application or building permit and the nature of the property. The property owner shall be provided notice of this meeting. The Historic Preservation Commission, using context papers and integrity scoring sheets for the property under consideration, shall provide Council with an assessment of the property's conformance with the designation criteria of Section 26.415.030.C.1. When any benefits that are not included in Section 26.415.110 are requested by the property owner, HPC shall also evaluate how the designation, and any development that is concurrently proposed, meets the policy objectives for the historic preservation program, as stated at Section 26.415.010, Purpose and Intent. As an additional measure of the appropriateness of designation and benefits, HPC shall determine whether the subject property is a "good, better, or best" example of Aspen's 20th century historic resources, referencing the scoring sheets and matrix adopted by City Council. Staff Response: A fundamental request of the applicant is that the review process for this application, and the building permit, be expedited. The applicant wishes to receive a permit for the landmarked project on or about Nov. 1St, an estimation of the issue date for a non-landmark review. As a result of the accelerated review time, referral comments and some calculations related to incentives are still developing and will be finalized by the HPC review. City Council, not HPC, makes the determination as to which incentives are appropriate. The incentives that have been requested of City Council as part of the AspenModern negotiation are: Waiver of permit review fees. Permit review fees are related to the valuation of the work and the amount of square footage affected. Review fees would typically include plan check fees, energy code review fees, engineering fees, zoning fees, tap fees, stormwater mitigation fees, etc. At this time, the applicant has not fully defined what their request is, and staff does not have a dollar value for the waiver request. The calculation is underway by the applicant and the Building Department. Waiver of impact fees. Building permits are subject to impact fees which include park fees, transportation demand management fees and affordable housing mitigation. These fees are calculated based on any increases in floor area. All existing landmarks automatically receive a fee waiver for parks and TDM fees. The dollar value associated with this project is being calculated so that Council may determine whether to waive the fees in this case or not. The project does not trigger demolition, therefore no affordable housing mitigation is required, landmark or not. The City cannot waive one of the impact fees, School Lands fees, since they are collected on behalf of the school district. Expedited review. The building department has a procedure for the queuing of permits with special considerations. Council can direct the building department to expedite the permit as requested, in front of all projects in queue except Affordable Housing and Essential Public Facilities. Tree removal. The applicant requests that the City contract to remove a spruce tree in the center of the yard and an aspen tree that is too close to the house. A waiver of mitigation is also requested. Staff has asked for a referral comment and calculation from-Parks. The existing dense. trees at the front of this house do obscure the building and may present maintenance issues. Floor area bonus: The application does not request a floor area bonus, and the proposed floor area for Unit B, plus the existing floor area for the adjacent Unit A, is below the maximum allowed for the property. However, the subject project at Unit B appears to be exceeding 1/2 of the allowed floor area (their presumed limit according to condo does). The application is not intended to reduce any rights for Unit A. The applicant will clarify the calculation at the HPC review. 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 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 set forth in Chapter 26.316. Staff Response: The application proposes the following changes to the existing building. South (front): expand the basement level out under the deck, alter the railing, widen the deck on the western end, replace doors and windows on the front fagade, construct a fence. West: add a closet at the entry door, which is halfway down the west side of the house. East: add a bay window projection on the southeast corner of the house. North (rear): extend the house approximately 6' towards the alley on both floors, enclose the existing carport, and add a trellis over a rear patio. Staff supports the proposed alterations on the west, east and north. The small closet at the entry, and the bay window at the kitchen, are very minor expansions. Materials on these areas are proposed to match the existing. Staff recommends a slight differentiation of the wall material. The extension of the rear of the house removes that original fagade, however the guidelines direct that this is the appropriate placement for expansions. The extension is relatively small (approximately 6'). Staff suggests the possibility of a roofline that tucks under the existing eave, rather than just extending the original roof over the addition. This would be for the purpose of distinguishing the new addition from the original form. 10.4 Design a new addition to be recognized as a product of its own time. ❑ An addition should be made distinguishable from the historic building, while also remaining visually compatible with these earlier features. ❑ A change in setbacks of the addition from the historic building, a subtle change in material or a differentiation between historic, and more current styles are all techniques that may be considered to help define a change from old to new construction. The applicant wishes to enclose the carport at the rear of the duplex. The carport is not original. The applicant proposes to enclose the carport for both Unit B (the subject property) and Unit A. Unit A, which will not be designated, can proceed to building permit for this work. A slight expansion of the length of the carports for storage is mentioned. Each duplex unit receives a floor area exemption for one garage stall, so the increase in floor area through this part of the project is very small. Staff has no concerns with this work. A trellis is proposed over a rear patio. It will not affect any historic construction. Again, the rear of the site is the most appropriate area for alterations that do not diminish the historic character of the building as enjoyed by the public. Staff does have concerns with the proposal as it affects the front fagade of the building. Alterations in this area should be very minimal. A strong characteristic of the modern chalet is the front balcony. This balcony has previously been expanded towards the east to allow a staircase down the side of the house. The applicant proposes to widen the deck now on its western end, for balance. The deck was designed to only be as wide as the main mass of the house. Staff does not support the extension to the west. Staff suggests the possibility of changing the railing on the east expansion to glass to distinguish this existing alteration from the original deck railing, and maybe help to make the deck appear to be the original width again. The applicant also proposes to change the original railing from squared pickets to a solid material with an open rail on top. Staff recommends the original rail be maintained. Staff does not support expanding the basement under the deck. A balcony with a relatively generous projection from the building fagade is characteristic of modern chalets. Diminishing that projection, especially on the front, detracts from the integrity of the original design. Staff can support the replacement of the front window system, so long as the glazing maintains the original rough opening and matches the design of the existing windows as closely as possible. The front windows were replaced on the adjacent duplex in a similar manner. The layout was retained, but the head height on the doors was increased slightly to improve function. Staff finds that this alteration can be accomplished in an appropriate manner. Cut sheets for the windows must be reviewed. The applicant mentions a proposed fence, but no design is provided. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends HPC support the voluntary designation of this property and encourage Council to grant fee waivers and expedited review to the extent that they find appropriate. A motion and vote on this topic requested so that the landmark application can proceed to Council. The public hearing is scheduled for Oct. 14t". Staff would like to meet the applicant's expectation for expedited review. Staff recommends that HPC continue the Minor review to September 25th, after indicating which alterations are acceptable. Further refinement of materials and floor area calculations are needed to ensure that this is a successful AspenModern project. EXHIBITS Resolution# , Series of 2013 Exhibit A: Relevant design guidelines Exhibit B: Application Exhibit C: Original building permit Exhibit D: Integrity Score Sheet Exhibit E: Condominium Plat Exhibit F: Existing floor plans Exhibit G: Proposed floor plans Exhibit H: Proposed elevations Exhibit A, Relevant design guidelines 1.2 A new replacement fence should use materials that appear similar to that of the original. ❑ Any fence which is visible from a public right-of-way must be built of wood or wrought iron. Wire fences also may be considered. ❑ A wood picket fence is an appropriate replacement in most locations. A simple wire or metal fence, similar to traditional "wrought iron," also may be considered. ❑ Chain link is prohibited and solid "stockade" fences are only allowed inside and rear yards. 1.3 A new replacement fence should have a "transparent" quality allowing views into the yard from the street. • A fence that defines a front yard is usually low to the ground and "transparent" in nature. • On residential properties, a fence which is located forward of the front building facade may not be taller than 42" from natural grade. (For additional information, see the City of Aspen's "Residential Design Standards".) • A privacy fence may be used in back yards and along alleys, but not forward of the front facade of a building. ❑ Note that using no fencing at all is often the best approach. ❑ Contemporary interpretations of traditional fences should be compatible with the historic context. 1.4 New fence components should be similar in scale with those seen traditionally. ❑ Fence columns or piers should be proportional to the fence segment. 3.1 Preserve the functional and decorative features of a historic window. ❑ Features important to the character of a window include its frame, sash, muntins/mullions, sills, heads,jambs, moldings, operation and groupings of windows. ❑ Repair frames and sashes rather than replacing them, whenever conditions permit. ❑ Preserve the original glass, when feasible. 3.2 Preserve the position, number and arrangement of historic windows in a building wall. • 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. • Greater flexibility in installing new windows may be considered on rear walls. ❑ Do not reduce an original opening to accommodate a smaller window or door or increase it to receive a larger window on primary facades. 3.3 Preserve the historic ratio of window openings to solid wall on a facade. ❑ 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. ❑ 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. ❑ 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. ❑ 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. 6.1 Preserve significant architectural features. ❑ Repair only those features that are deteriorated. ❑ Patch, piece-in, splice, consolidate or otherwise upgrade the existing material, using recognized preservation methods whenever possible. ❑ Isolated areas of damage may be stabilized or fixed, using consolidants. Epoxies and resins may be considered for wood repair and special masonry repair components also may be used. ❑ Removing a damaged feature when it can be repaired is inappropriate. 10.3 Design a new addition such that one's ability to interpret the historic character of the primary building is maintained. ❑ A new addition that creates an appearance inconsistent with the historic character of the primary building is inappropriate. ❑ An addition that seeks to imply an earlier period than that of the primary building also is inappropriate. ❑ An addition that seeks to imply an inaccurate variation of the primary building's historic style should be avoided. ❑ An addition that covers historically significant features is inappropriate. 10.4 Design a new addition to be recognized as a product of its own time. ❑ An addition should be made distinguishable from the historic building, while also remaining visually compatible with these earlier features. ❑ A change in setbacks of the addition from the historic building, a subtle change in material or a differentiation between historic, and more current styles are all techniques that may be considered to help define a change from old to new construction. 10.6 Design an addition to be compatible in size and scale with the main building. ❑ An addition that is lower than or similar to the height of the primary building is preferred. 10.8 Place an addition at the rear of a building or set it back from the front to minimize the visual impact on the historic structure and to allow the original proportions and character to remain prominent. ❑ Locating an addition at the front of a structure is inappropriate. ❑ Additional floor area may also be located under the building in a basement which will not alter the exterior mass of a building. ❑ Set back an addition from primary facades in order to allow the original proportions and character to remain prominent. A minimum setback of 10 feet on primary structures is recommended. 10.9 Roof forms should be similar to those of the historic building. ❑ Typically, gable, hip and shed roofs are appropriate. ❑ Flat roofs are generally inappropriate for additions on residential structures with sloped roofs. 10.10 Design an addition to a historic structure such that it will not destroy or obscure historically important architectural features. ❑ For example, loss or alteration of architectural details, cornices and eavelines should be avoided. 10.11 On a new addition, use exterior materials that are compatible with the historic materials of the primary building. ❑ The new materials should be either similar or subordinate to the original materials.

Addition to AspenModern Map. We would like the property located at 624 W Francis to be added to the AspenModern map.This application is our written request for such addition. Section 26.415.030.0-Designation of Historic Properties -AspenModern 1. Criteria. The building must have a demonstrated quality of significance; meeting at least three of five qualifying criteria. This property meets criteria c, d and e. c.The property represents a physical design that embodies the distinctive characteristics of a period or method of construction: This building is the type of ski chalets built in Aspen in the 1960s,fashioned after the small chalets that dot the hillsides of European ski resorts. The low angle gable roof,with a lot of glass to capture the views and very little to no ornamentation added,as was the style in the 60s and this property is a very good example of it. d. The property possesses singular significance to the City,as documented by the opinions of persons educated in the fields of history and architecture and the potential demolition or major alteration would substantially diminish the character and sense of place in the city as perceived by members of the community. This property, being such a prime example of the Chalet style of architecture that was so prevalent in the 60s and 70s in Aspen was noted in the summary of Historic houses as found in the West End of Aspen. The demolition or major alteration of this property would ruin one of the few remaining chalets and diminish the sense of the history of Aspen that is found in the West End. This building speaks to the social and cultural history of a specific time in Aspen's history. e. The property possesses an appropriate degree in integrity of location, setting, design,materials,workmanship an association,given its age. This property, meets all of these criteria. This chalet still possesses the original windows and wood siding;the house is set back from the street giving it a spacious front yard, is located in the West End, a little removed from the business side of town and is in very good condition. This chalet is a prime example of the homes built 40-50 years ago in Aspen,when skiing and ski resorts were bursting onto the world scene. I 2.Application.

The new owner of the property (see attached title work), 624 W Francis,llc is applying for the AspenModern designation for just Unit B of the Starri Condominiums.

We would like the property located at 624 W Francis to be added to the AspenModern map.This application is our written request for such addition. Section 26.415.030.0- Designation of Historic Properties -AspenModern 1. Criteria. The building must have a demonstrated quality of significance; meeting at least three of five qualifying criteria. This property meets criteria c,d and e. c.The property represents a physical design that embodies the distinctive characteristics of a period or method of construction:This building is the type of ski chalets built in Aspen in the 1960s,fashioned after the small chalets that dot the hillsides of European ski resorts. The low angle gable roof,with a lot of glass to capture the views and very little to no ornamentation added,as was the style in the 60s and this property is a very good example of it. d. The property possesses singular significance to the City,as documented by the opinions of persons educated in the fields of history and architecture and the potential demolition or major alteration would substantially diminish the character and sense of place in the city as perceived by members of the community. This property,being such a prime example of the Chalet style of architecture that was so prevalent in the 60s and 70s in Aspen was noted in the summary of Historic houses as found in the West End of Aspen. The demolition or major alteration of this property would ruin one of the few remaining chalets and diminish the sense of the history of Aspen that is found in the West End. This building speaks to the social and cultural history of a specific time in Aspen's history. e.The property possesses an appropriate degree in integrity of location, setting,design,materials,workmanship an association,given its age. This property, meets all of these criteria. This chalet still possesses the original windows and wood siding;the house is set back from the street giving it a spacious front yard, is located in the West End, a little removed from the business side of town and is in very good condition.
