Electronic Signature William Guth
What do you know
about the Aspen
Historic Preservation
Commission or
Planning & Zoning
Commission?
I am extremely familiar with HPC and its processes, guidelines,
traditions, and history - I have been an applicant many times over
the years.
What interests you
about serving on this
commission?
To continue to support the great work that staff and the HPC has
done over the years in preserving Aspen's heritage and the
quality of its historic areas/neighborhoods. I enjoyed my time
serving as chair of the CCLC until Council removed
responsibilities from the board and I felt my time was not being
well spent.
22
What is your
understanding of the
public process related
to community planning
and / or the designation
of historic properties?
I have a good understanding of how properties were designated
as historic (and which fall into the AspenModern program) in the
past. I am unclear if there is a rolling process moving forwards for
new designations.
What are your skills or
knowledge that will
help improve the
commission?
Experienced residential and commercial real estate developer,
passionate about quality design and construction. Masters of
Science in Real Estate Development from Columbia University. I
have developed more than 10 homes in Aspen, many of which
were historic and have received awards from HPC.
What is your general
philosophy on the
Aspen Area
Community Plan?
Thoughtful, but sometimes unnecessarily onerous.
This is a volunteer
position that sometimes
requires a lot of time
and there is no
compensation, how will
you be able to commit
to this?
I am self employed and can dictate my own schedule.

be involved in local government. The Managing Growth for
Community & Economic Sustainability Policies section of the
AACP state the goals are to restore public confidence in the
development process, create certainty in zoning and the land use
process. These 2 points are the main reasons why I would like to
be a member of HPC. The recent AH project on the former Sue
Lum property, one that met the code and asked for no variances,
yet was denied for no other reason then the neighbors did not
want it in their back yard gave me the motivation to apply for this
opening.

What interests you
about serving on this

It is a chance to serve the community.
What is your
understanding of the
public process related
to community planning
and / or the designation
of historic properties?
The public process should be one of balance, predictability,
fairness consistency and integrity. When one submits a
development application whether it is related to HPC, there are
specific guideline that must be met for the application to be
approved. I have sat through many HPC meetings where a
project is initially submitted and is substantially improved with
input from the commission, staff and even the public. The public
process plays an integral role in the development process.
What are your skills or
knowledge that will
help improve the
commission?
I am very familiar with the development process in Aspen as well
as the municipal code. I have sat through more than my share of
HPC, P&Z and city council meetings. I understand the process
and our community and how to apply the code and guidelines
while balancing the values
What is your general
philosophy on the
Aspen Area
Community Plan?
I believe that the AACP needs to looked at and updated. The
purpose of the plan is noble, to serve as a guide for the future. It
is a vision, map, plan of action for achieving the community goals.
I believe we need to truly understand what our community goals
are but we need to understand who are community is first.
This is a volunteer
position that sometimes
requires a lot of time
and there is no
compensation, how will
you be able to commit
to this?
Fortunately, I have an employer who respects the public process
when it comes to community planning and encourages public
service from his employees. I am fully committed to the time and
effort it takes to be a board member.

Personal resume
Dear Sirs,
I moved to Aspen as a youth in 1982, Among my many experiences, I am proud to have the following
experience that I believe qualifies me to be a board member with the Aspen Historic Preservation
Commission.
1982- 1985
Prep cook at the Ullrhof Restaurant. Duties included preparation of daily foods and interaction with the
customer in a positive manner.
1986 – 1988
Reservation agent at the Aspen Resort association at the time. (now known as the Aspen Chamber
Resort Association.) Fielded phone calls from the 800 # and dispursed calls to the member hotels to
secure reservations for customers. That experience introduced me to the local community through my
direct correspondence to hotel owners to provide reservations to their hotels as members to the
Chamber. I worked at the location just below the Skiers Chalet which at the time was the reservations
center for the town.
1988 – 1990
Reservations agent for Coates Reid and Waldron. Duties included reservation and services for guests of
their customers and owners.
1990 – 1996
Reservations agent and later associate broker with Aspen Club/Frias Properties. During my term there, I
had a chance to work with many of the leading members of the community in the field of real estate.
1996 – 2003
Real estate Broker with Charlie Weaver, managing broker of Weaver and Assoc.
2003 – Present
Real estate development including but not limited to the creation of the Affordable Housing Certificate
program, building for and housing local workforce, proud to be a part of the keeping of historic assets in
the community, specifically restoring the Ilgen cabin on Main St. and bringing it back to local living.
I believe that my unique skill set and experience in the arena of development and conservation make me
qualified to give thought and consideration to the job as Historic Preservation member. Thank you for
giving me a chance to make a difference in the town I call home.

Board or commission
for which application is
made
Historic Preservation Commission*
I desire the appointment
for the following
reasons:
As a Colorado native I was elated when an employment
opportunity allowed me to return to the State and call Aspen
home. While initially I knew this would bring more opportunities to
be outdoors, I was surprised by how quickly I fell for the city itself.
From the beautifully restored historic homes woven together with
modern structures to the original commercial buildings adjacent to
the newer facades, I find Aspen to be a very aesthetically
pleasing community. Aspen has retained its history by preserving
the architecture. It is evident this approach has been well
stewarded and I believe that I could play a valuable role in
continuing this practice.
I am applying for the Historic Preservation Commission volunteer
board for several reasons. Joining the board is a natural fit with
both my personal interests and professional experience. I am
very interested in the architecture and history of the City of
Aspen. I always suggest the Historical Society’s walking tour
when I have a guest visiting and don’t think I’ll have tire of them.
Additionally, I believe my education and professional history will
bring a tremendous amount of experience to the board. I have a
BS in interior design from Colorado State University and a MS in
construction management from New York University. I have been
studying and/or working in design and construction for over
twenty years and have experience with several historically
32
significant projects.
As I have been looking for a way to be more involved in the
Aspen community I was excited to see open seats available for
the HPC board. It would be an honor to help shape the future of
our City while preserving the historical legacy. I greatly look
forward to speaking about this position further.

What do you know
about the Aspen
Historic Preservation
Commission or
Planning & Zoning
Commission?
I am aware that the Aspen Historic Preservation Commission is a
volunteer board that helps City Council make determinations on
projects presented to the City for review.
What interests you
about serving on this
commission?
I am interested in serving on this commission because I think it is
important to maintain the history of our city through preservation
of our architecture. In addition, it is essential to cohesively blend
together the old with the new in a way that is both pleasing and
complementary to the overall aesthetic and character of the City.
What is your
understanding of the
public process related
to community planning
and / or the designation
of historic properties?
My understanding of the public process is limited as I have only
gone through the community planning process in Aspen for one
project. I understand that if a project requires a HPC review it can
be a fairly lengthy process for the applicant. I know that there are
several, in depth, documents available online for review.
What are your skills or
knowledge that will
help improve the
commission?
The skills and knowledge I posses that will help improve the
commission are two fold. First, my entire education and career
have been focused around the design, architecture and
construction fields. I have experience in a wide range of projects
from residential, commercial to hospitality. I also have personal
experience with several projects that have historical significance.
Second, I have traveled a significant amount as well as lived in
locations other than Aspen. I think this exposure brings a level of
experience to help understand what makes Aspen special.
33
What is your general
philosophy on the
Aspen Area
Community Plan?
The Aspen Area Community Plan is an important asset to ensure
the continuity and character of our community. Like any
comprehensive planning document it is important to revisit the
plan from time-to-time to ensure that it aligns with the continued
goals of Council and is informed by the citizenship.
This is a volunteer
position that sometimes
requires a lot of time
and there is no
compensation, how will
you be able to commit
to this?
I am in a position where I make my own hours and am able to
dedicate time to a volunteer position.

Agreement
I agree
Electronic Signature Samuel M. Rose
What do you know
about the Aspen
Historic Preservation
Commission or
Planning & Zoning
Commission?
I know this commission advises city council on the needs of the
city regarding planning and zoning. For example, whether we
need to change the zoning on a place because we need more of
something or that we need to plan for the future with how our
town physically looks in the planning side of things.
What interests you
about serving on this
commission?
I believe this committee is vital to the future of Aspen and the way
it will look in the future. I believe I have a great perspective on
Aspen and would to help. I studied GIS/Geography at the
University of Denver and one of my greatest interests was
planning and city designs. It can be really interesting to shape
69
how a city looks and functions and is vital to keep the vibrancy
and character of the city intact.
What is your
understanding of the
public process related
to community planning
and / or the designation
of historic properties?
We have commissions like P&Z to help advise city council on
community planning. These commissions are specific and really
take a deep dive into the why and how to improve. The
designation of historic properties has a committee for that as well
but P&Z is also involved in that discussion to make it fits into the
community plan.
What are your skills or
knowledge that will
help improve the
commission?
I studied city planning at the University of Denver and have a
deep understanding of what it takes for a city to function properly
and look the way it is supposed to look.
What is your general
philosophy on the
Aspen Area
Community Plan?
My general philosophy is that we need crystal clear goal setting
on a continuous basis. The AACP is a great start but needs to be
continuously updated as circumstances change.
This is a volunteer
position that sometimes
requires a lot of time
and there is no
compensation, how will
you be able to commit
to this?
I am incredibly civic minded and always find time for my passions
of which this would be one of them. I am a volunteer firefighter
and Response advocate. I take pride in what I do and am
committed to serving the community.
