L SAMPLE LETTER (Name and Address) Dear . The Aspen Historic Preservation Committee is considering the designation of the West End of Aspen as an Historic District. More specifically, they are considering the designation of All that area within the City of Aspen bounded on the West by Castle Creek, on the North by the Roaring Fork River, on the East by Mill Street, and on the South by Highway 82 as an historic district pursuant to the provisions of Section 24-9.1 of the Aspen Municipal Code. Our ordinance requires that our Committee contact all owners of property within an area proposed for designation to state the reasons for and effects of such designation, and to obtain consent for the designation by the owners, if possible. Incorporated in this mailing is a letter from the Committee giving its reasoning in support of the dis- trict, a memorandum from the City Attorney outlining the effects of historic designation, and a consent form which we submit for your signature. Please return the latter to the Office of the City Clerk, P.O. .30x V, Aspen, Colorado 81611, if acceptable. The Committee will next present its findings on desirability of the creation of the district to the Planning and Zoning Commission for its preliminary approval before continuing with the designation procedure. If it receives preliminary approval, the Commission will set a date and time for a joint Planning and Zoning Commission and Historic Preservation Committee meeting which we will notify you about by mail. Thanking you for your anticipated cooperation, I am Very truly yours, Chairman Historic Preservation Committee CRITERIA u Historic Preservation Cornittee 1.

Pielstick, A.I.A. ~A+1 You have requested imput from the Architects of Aspen on the criteria you have established for buildings in the Proposed Historic Overlay District--p district which will include all of the commercial Core of the City of Aspen. This is in response to that request. You are, in essence, asking me to choose a method by which I would wish to be executed, without asking first if I have a desire to be executed at all. I have no desire to discuss criteria for administration of an ordinance which, I feel, is unnecessary, counter productive, and at the very least myopic. If I should submit to discussion of your criteria, I would be tacitly accepting your basic concepts and your premises. I refuse to do that. You are asking me to answer what is known in logic as the "Complex Question", one of the Fallacies of Presumption. That is, your question covertly presumes a set of premises which have not been established, may not be true, and with which I do not agree. You are asking a question analogous to the classic interrogatory-- "Have you stopped beating your wife?" Let me show you the difference. Augustine Birrell said, "History is a pageant, not a philosophy." I feel that history is a continuum. The past is that part of the continuum which has already occurred. History is not created by people or historians. It is created by time. As time passes, history pours out behind it like the vapor trail from a jet plane. History cannot be frozen, any more than time can be stopped. The vapor trail of a plane when turned off means that the plane can't fly. However, if history is stopped, time goes on, but there is just no more history. To record and look at history and preserve some of the past is surely valid. It is valid because that which is preserved becomes a present evidence of times which are past. It is also valid because we need a foundation on which to stand, so that we may see more clearly into the future and may better understand where we are in the continuum of time. To recreate the past is false. To build today in an esthetic that was geniune yesterday, diminishes the authenticity of history's contributions , £ /-9 9*-Z 2,>4= To strive only for eclectic repetition of past glories is to deprive future history of the best that our time can contribute to the continuum. It is allowing the creative impulse of people of this time to be shut-off in deference to the creativity of the past. It means that the history of this generation will only be a stale mutation born from the history of our forefathers. I believe that there is no generation from the past which is as well equipped to provide the esthetic values which are fitting for our time as the generation which is here now. I personally am insulted by the attempt by this committee-to get me to answer these criteria. It seems to me that the questions you are really asking are these: 1. "Which ones of these 19th Century values are you willing to establish as constraints on the last quarter of the 20th Century?" My answer is "None. I would much prefer the freedom to attempt to find values which will be heralded in the 2lst Century." 2. "What elements of esthetic composition from 100 years ago are better than what you can come up with today?" My answer is , " None". 3. "Why is it that we of the Historic Preservation Committee have so much more sensitivity to good design, have so much more ability to know what is compatible with the old, and are filled with so 11 much more insight into what makes a good community, than you are? My anser is, "You don't". As far as I'm concerned, you should limit your. committee's actions to the preservation of that which is good and meaningful from the past. My feeling is that this ordinance represents unnecessary law passing for the sake of law passing and for no other purpose. It is hypocrisy to say you are for the preservation of history and then to be instrumental in passing an ordinance which would deny the future a history worth preserving. I would urge you to drop this ridiculous attempt to legislate good design, pleasing commiinity environment, and methodical beauty. .5" CITY ·'* -TA SPER aspen ,COR 11... 0, 0211 box v May 7, 1975 Mr. Bill Kirwin $ Box Q Aspen, CO 81611 Re: Historic Designation of the West End Area of Aspen Dear Mr. Kirwin: Regarding the request of the WSIA submitted to the Historic Preservation Committee requesting ,investigation of the possibility of establishing an H, Historic Overlay District for the West End area of Aspen. Enclosed are outlines of the necessary procedures. For the purpose of the Historic Preservation Committee review of this project we will have to establish the Historic Significance of the area. This means we will have to present proof to the Planning and Zoning Commission that the area meets the Standards for Designation as outlined under Section 24-9.3 of the Zoning Code. For the West End these standards seem to be best met by A (1) (4), B (1) (2) (4), C (2). The Historic Preservation Committee does not have the personnel or the time to research all of the buildings in the proposed area. For this purpose we suggest that you form a committee within your group to do the research or have each individual property owner do their own research as an abstract is one of the best sources of information. The Historical Society helped the HPC with th research for the downtown core area, they may be able to help with your group. Note on the documenting form the Remarks area, visual descriptions, notable features, etc. will be very important for this project for in the past we have discovered there is very little recorded history available on houses in the West End. Also please note, we must have the exact legal description and the street address of the property. All proper street addresses are on file in the office of the Building Inspector if the proper address is unknown to the owner.

MEMO TO SUSAN SMITII Tum %40.-1 9-ru ....01 + RE: HISTORIC DESIGNATION SUSAN The code requires that the following occur before we conduct the public hearing: 1. The committee must make an investigation of the proposed district. - 2. The HPC must then contact all the owners of property within the proposed district and secure their consent to the designation if possible. 3. The committee must pass a resolution stating their intention to establish a district and summarize their attempts at and success at acquiring the consent of the property owners. 4. The HPC must then present their findings to the P and Z at one of their regular meetings. 5. The·P and Z must give the concept preliminary approval. 6. If it receives preliminary approval, the P and Z then establishes a public hearing date. THE HPC DOES NOT SET THE DATE. 7. For the public hearing, fifteen days published notice AND EACH PROPERTY OWNER MUST ALSO BE NOTIFIED BY MAIL. Consequently, as you can sec their are many procedural requirements to be satisfied and I do not know if any have been satisfied to date. Please let me know. . f.·•ty· , -*4 *kiN.)- : -...... ...'. 11. . 1., -, * , "·1'•r¥-¥•' .e-rte,1-" -1.7-NUP. 37=9-1'r¥„-' -'.cr'' -'-MPg1 -pi y.

The pro- posals as structured establish controls over the future exterior appearances of all buildings within these areas without regard to the historical value of the structure. The desire to preserve the heritage of the Aspen area is one that I share with the Council and the Historical Preservation Committee. The current proposal addresses this problem but, unfortunately, includes provision for architectura.1 control of all other buildings as well. I am opposed to the current proposals for the following reasons: 1. The proposal does not address itself to the issue that concerns us. That i.ssue is historical preservation as described in the title of that committee which was formed to consider it. This ordinance as it i.s written constitutes architectural control. If we are interested in architectural control of future buildings, and of existing non-historic structures, then let us address that topic directly rather than under the guise of "historic preservation." 2. It should be the duty of the Mayor and Council to insure that any restrictive law that they choose to pass confronts and regulates a demonstrated current or future problem. I do not feel that a problem of such magnitude exists which might justify the regulation of the exterior appearances of all buildings in the designated zones. 3. The proposal undul.y restricts the right of an individual to build in a manner which pleases his own taste. These rights are restricted without demonstrating that the controls are neces- sary to protect the public interest. An individual is entitled to a succinct description of those restrictions to be imposed upon his property. The zoning ordinance accomplishes this by addressing the issues of bulk, density, etc., but does not inject arbitrary and capricious controls. An individual desiring to build should not be subjected to the expense of dealing with undefined issues Memo to Mayor and City Council of Aspen, Colorado December 23, 1974 Page 2 of personal taste. Unfortunately, in the past the Historic Preservation Committee has demonstrated that a proposal such as this will result in controls which do not deal with the issues at hand, but with personal likes and dislikes. 4. The administration problems that accompanied the implementation of Ordinance 19 zoning review provide us with a valuable insight to the potential problems of dealing with this proposal. That review was primarily concerned with the issue of density, and yet still caused a significant administrative problem for the city government. When personal taste becomes a review criteria, I envision a significant alienation of the public in dealing with the government, and thus a lessening in the cooperation required for effective administration of the zoning and building laws. - I sincerely hope that the Mayor and Council will give strong consideration to the actual impact of this proposed ordinance as it contrasts with the intended purpose.

Unfortunately the public hearing is scheduled during a week when many residents are busy because of the Holiday Season and I, as one, apologize for not being able to attend personally.

Mularz, AIA tim:t MEMORANDUM TO: JOINT MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL, P & Z, AND HPC FROM: JANET LANDRY REF: HISTORIC DESIGNATION I am fully in favor of historic designation of the Commercial Core District and feel that it is properly within the public jurisdiction to preserve historic sites for their historic significance, but that it is not properly within the public jurisdiction to adopt design criteria for new construction. This is particularly true of a historic district which consists of the only commercial zoning available in the City. My objection would be mollified if the whole City were designated as a historic district with architectural criteria by referendum, or if there were an alternative site for anyone who wanted to build a new commercial building.

On July 16, 1974 the Planning and Zoning Commission passed a motion stating that a recommendation for or against designation of the H, Historic Overlay District cannot be made based on the following concerns: 1. That public comments received at the hearing were in opposition to the proposed district; 2. That the ordinance itself should contain the criteria by which new construction in the district is reviewed; 3. That the criteria for review of new construction is vague and difficult to interpret, and 4. That the ordinance should provide appeal procedures before resorting to litigation. Because of these concerns the Planning and Zoning Commission feels that an affirmative recommendation should not be made. An alternative negative decision, is also unsatisfactory from the ..

Copelin RESOLUTION OF DESIGNATION BY THE ASPEN HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMITTEE WHEREAS, the Aspen Historic Preservation Committee has conducted a preliminary investigation of that area of the City of Aspen shown as the "Proposed Historic District" on the map attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated herein by reference, and WHEREAS, such investigation demonstrates that such area constituting the commercial core of the City of Aspen: 1. Has character, interest and value as part of the development, heritage, and cultural characteristics of the City; 2. Exemplifies the cultural, political, economic, social and historical heritage of the community; 3. Includes many structures which portray the environment of a group of people in an era of history characterized by a distinctive archi- tectural style; and 4. Which structures, in addition, contain elements of design, detail, material and craftsmanship representing a significant architectural style; and that by the district preservation will be promoted the health, safety and welfare of the present and future inhabitants of the community, and WHEREAS, the Historic Preservation Committee has contacted, by mail, all owners of record of properties within said proposed district outlining the reasons for and effects of designation as an H, Historic Over- lay District, and requested their consent to such designation, and WHEREAS, the preliminary investigation having been completed and the requisite contact with owners having been accomplished, the Committee wishes to formally initiate designation procedures by adoption of a resolution all as provided for in Section 24-9.1(e) of the Municipal Code of the City of Aspen, Colorado, NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMITTEE OF ASPEN, COLORADO: 1.

STULLER DATE: OCTOBER 16, 1974 RE: CREATION OF THE H, HISTORIC OVERLAY DISTRICT Members of the Council At the October 15th agenda lunch meeting, it was requested that I prepare, in anticipation of the announced public hear- ing, a memorandum of the legal justification supporting the creation of the proposed historic overlay district for the commercial core. The following is respectfully submitted. Colorado Statutory Law House Bill 1034 enacted in 1974 provides that any local government may plan for and regulate the use of land by "pre- serving areas of historical and archaeological importance. " That means the landmark and historic district preservation ordinances such as have been adopted by some Colorado local governments are now specifically authorized by state statute. This legislation does not enhance our authority as a home rule city to enact such legislation, but it certainly does , give the concept more "legitimacy" and should make our ordinance more acceptable to any court that might review it. The newest piece of Colorado legislation to affect historic designation is House Bill 1041, also enacted in 1974. The bill is going to have enormous impact in Colorado, and it encourages, essentially, that each local government (1) identify and designate areas and activities of state interest and then (2) issue guidelines for the regulation and then actual regulation of such areas and activities. Memorandum to Members of City Council October 16, 1974 Page Two One of the concerns of state interest identified in House Bill 1041 which should be considered by local govern- ments include "areas containing, or having significant impac t upon, historical, natural, or archaeological resources of statewide importance. " Historical and archaeological resources of statewide importance are defined as those "resources which have been officially designated by statute, or included in an established list of places complied by the State Historical Society." The established list referred to is the State Inventory of Historic Sites being compiled by the Historical Society in cooperation with local individuals and organiza- tions. When a local government designates an area containing historic or archaeological resources as an area of state interest, the standard for management of those areas is that they be administered "in a manner that will allow man to function in harmony with, rather than be destructive to, these resources ... Developments in areas containing historic, archaeological, or natural resources shall be conducted in a manner which will minimize damage to those resources for future use." The legislation requires us, with Pitkin County, to begin designation of the areas and activities of state interest before the end of this year. Caselaw Supporting Historic Districts United State Courts have often sustained the creation of historic districts in areas where the preservation of the sites is closely related to a vital tourist industry. Let me repeat some of the Courts' comments in these cases. Opinion of the Justices of the Senate, Mass. 1955, 128 N.E. 2d 557. The question involved was a statutory amendment "to promote the general welfare of the inhabitants of the town of Nantucket through the preservation and protection of historic buildings, places and districts of historic interest; through the.development of an appropriate set- ting for these buildings, places and districts; and through the benefits resulting to the economy of Nantucket in devel- oping and maintaining its vacation-travel industry through the promotion of these historic associations." At page 562, the Court says: "In the case of City of New Bedford v New Bedford, Woods Hole, Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket Steam- ship Authority, this court took judicial notice of the Memorandum to Members of the City Council October 16, 1974 Page Three general characteristics of the island of Nantucket and of its great interest in the entertainment of summer visitors. We may also take judicial notice that Nantucket is one of the very old towns of the Commonwealth; that for perhaps a century it was a famous seat of the whaling industry and accumulated wealth and culture which made itself manifest in some fine examples of early American architecture; and that the sedate and quaint appearance of the old island town has to a large extent still remained unspoiled and in all probability constitutes a substantial part of the appeal which has enabled it to build up its summer vacation business to take the place of its former means of livelihood. In a general way, much the same can be said of the village of Siasconset, which is a part of the town of Nantucket. There has been substantial recognition by the courts of the public interest in the preservation of historic buildings, places and districts." The Court continued: "It is not difficult to imagine how the erection of ' a few wholly incongruous structures might destroy one of the principal assets of the town, and we assume that the boundaries of the districts are so drawn as to include only areas of special value to the public because of possession of those characteristics which it is the purpose of the act to preserve." Opinion of the Justices of the Senate, Mass. 1955, 128 N.E. 2d 563, in which virtually the same answers were given to the validity of the statute in its application to the Beacon Hill District of Boston. In this case, at page 566, the court said: "The announced purpose of the act is to preserve this historic section for the educational, cultural, and economic advantage of the public. If the General Court believes that this object would be attained by the restrictions which the act would place upon the introduction into the district of inappropriate forms of construction that would destroy its unique value and associations, a court can hardly take the view that such legislative determination is so arbitrary or unreasonable that it cannot be comprehended within the public welfare." Memorandum to Members of the City Council October 16, 1974 Page Four City of Santa Fe v Gamble-Skogmo, Inc., 389 P2d 13. The purpose of the act involved was to preserve the character- istics of a certain area in the City of Santa Fe. Height limitations were involved as well as structural and archi- tectural features being regulated. In the act it was stated that the purpose was "to promote the economic, cultural and general welfare of the people of the City of Santa Fe." Upholding the validity of these various limitations, the court states, at Page 18: "New Mexico is particularly dependent upon its scenic beauty to attract the host of visitors, the income from whose visits is a vital factor in our economy. Santa Fe is known throughout the whole country for its historic features and culture. Many of our laws have their origin in that early culture. It must be obvious that the general welfare of the community and of the State is enhanced thereby. Bearing in mind all these factors, we hold that regulation of the size of window panes in the construction or alteration of buildings within the historic area of Santa Fe, as a part of the 'Old Sante Fe Style' of architecture, is a valid exercise of the police power granted to the city." City of New Orleans v Impastato, Louisiana 1941, 3 So. 2d 559, City of New Orleans v Pergament, Louisiana 1941, 5 So. 2d 129, City of New Oreleans v Levy, Louisiana 1953, 64 So. 2d 798. The foregoing cases all concern the validity of an ordinance of the City of New Orleans rigidly limiting and controlling the type of construction which might occur in the Vieux Carre section of the municipality. The validity of the ordinance was sustained and I make only the following quote from the latter of the three cases in which, at Page 802, the court states: "Finally, defendant takes the position that Article XIV, Section 22A of the Louisiana Constitution and the ordinances enacted pursuant thereto are unconstitutional since they are enacted solely for esthetic purposes and are not within the police power. Perhpas esthetic considerations alone would not warrant an imposition of the several restrictions con- tained in the Vieux Carre Commission Ordinance. But, as pointed out in the Pergament case, this legislation is in the interest of an beneficial to the inhabitants of New Orleans generally, the preserving of the Vieux Carre section being not only for its sentimental value but also for Memorandum to A ,ers of the City Council October 16, 1974 Page Five its commercial value, and hence it constitutes a valid exercise of the police power. Incidentally, both the constitutional amendment and the ordinance recite that the preservation is for the public welfare." Other cases supporting the "architectural review" inherent in historic district designation are as follows: Town of Deering ex rel. Bittenbenden v Tibbets, 104 N.H. 481, 202 A2d 232 (1964); Reid v Architectural Board of Review, 119 Ohio App. 67, 192 N.E. 2d 74 (1963); Opinion of Justices, 103 N.H. 268, 169 A2d 762 (1961); Sunad, Inc. v City of Sarasota, 122 So. 2d 611 (Fla. 1960); State ex rel. Saveland. Park Holding Corp. v Wieland, 269 Wis 262, 69 N.W. 2d 217. Cases of Special Interest Two cases promulgated this year are of special interest. The first is Mayor and Alderman of Annapolis v Anne Arundel County, 316 A2d 803 (Maryland January 30, 1974) which con- cerned the attempted destruction by the county of an historic church owned by it but located in the city's historic district. The county asserted that the city historic preservation committee did not have jurisdiction over it as it was a political subdivision of the state and exempt from the com- mittee's authority. The Court concluded to the contrary: "The city of Annapolis is one of the municipal corporations having home rule power pursuant to the Maryland Constitution. As a home rule municipality, there are no limitations or provisions in the Constitution or statutory provisions which purport to exempt the county from the laws of the city of Annapolis ...a county can be subject to the reasonable police regulations of a municipality .... The chancellor (lower court judge) was of the opinion that historic zoning was analogous to traditional zoning and that the majority rule of our sister states that a county could not be subject to a municipal zoning ordinance in regard to a county governmental function applied. We disagree with the chancellor's conclusion in this regard." A second case that I alluded to in one of our earlier meet- ings with the HPC is that of Maker v City of New Orleans, 371 F. Supp. 653 (Louisiana, February 21, 1974). As Council is aware, the Vieux Carre (French Quarter) has been desig- nated an historic district. Within -the district there existed a small Victorian cottage which the owner wished to demolish Memorandum to M )ers of the City Council October 16, 197 Page Six and, in its stead, construct an addition to his residence in a French-Spanish architecture. The historic committee denied issuance of a demolition permit. The owner argued that the cottage in question possessed no historical or architectural value, while the Vieux Carre ordinance has the avowed purpose of preserving buildings of "historic or architectural value in order to enhance the economic resources of the city." The Court refused to accept this argument, finding the "purpose of the ordinance is not only to preserve the old buildings themselves, but to preserve the antiquity of the whole French and Spanish quarter, the tout ensemble, so to speak . . ." More specifically, the Court continued: "Perhaps even more important, it must be remembered that the Vieux Carre is more than a museum of French and Spanish architectural styles but is a mixture of construction unique to New Orleans, as well as a living residential and commercial neighborhood containing a lively potpourri of socio-economic and personal life styles. In many cases it would be a disservice to 'the charm and distinctive character' of the Vieux Carre to permit the demolition of existing buildings in order to create new replicas of the past." Other Colorado Preservation Ordinances The following local governments in Colorado have adopted or are in the process of adopting-historic preservation or landmark preservation ordinances: Aspen Crested Butte Silverton Boulder Denver Telluride Breckenridge Fort Collins Trinidad Georgetown Boulder County These ordinances vary in their approach and their strict- ness. In general they include the following provisions: A declaration of intent; establishment of a commission to review and designate historic sites; administrative procedures the commission must follow; a list of powers and duties of the commission; authorization for a local survey under the authority of the commission; procedures for designating historic land- marks or districts; procedures to delay demolition or altera- tion of designated properties, for the purpose of finding - alternates to demolition or alterations; procedures to control restoration, reconstruction and use of designated properties; and anti-neglect regulations. Memorandum to L--iers of the City Council October 16, 1974 Page Seven The towns of Crested Butte and Telluride have declared the whole town an historic district, while Georgetown has applied that designation to approximately one half the city's acreage. Effects of Historic Designation In establishing an historic district, as opposed to designating specific structures, all land (vacant or other- wise) and existing and proposed structures within the district area come under the close supervision of the Preservation Committee. Let me describe the effect as ' follows: Required Review No building permit may issue for 1. the exterior remodeling or reconstruction of any structure within the district; 2. the demolition or moving of any structure within the district; or 3. the construction or erection of any new structure or addition to any structure within the district; unless the building inspector determines that no change to the exterior appearance of the structure or combination of structures will occur, or until the Preservation Committee has reviewed the permit application and approved the same. Review Procedures The review procedures are rather complex so I will merely summarize. They require an applicant to submit preliminary scale drawings and outline specifications to the building inspector who will determine if exterior changes will result. If so, the material is forwarded to the Preservation Committee who will hold at least one public hearing and then either: 1. approve or approve the proposal subject to modifications and so advise the building inspector, or 2. disapprove and so notify the building inspector who must then deny the permit. Criteria for Approval The Preservation Committee will judge any proposed remodeling for the preservation of historical, architectural and characteristic qualities, and any new structure for complementary design with the existing structures within the district (the criteria proposed to be used have been submitted to Council). In case of an application to raze, demolish or.move a structure, judgment shall be made on Memorandum to 1 ,ers of the City Council October 16, 1974 Page Eight the basis of the structure's historical and architectural importance, its importance as a part of the area within which it is located, and the actual physical condtion of the structure. Dangerous Conditions; Exceptions; Appeal The Committee may grant exceptions from the effects of designation, and Committee approval is not necessary when the owner is repairing or demolishing a structure on order of a city or other governmental officer when needed to remedy a dangerous condition. Right of Appeal There exists in the Code at present no right of appeal from an adverse decision of the Preservation Committee. However, at the request of the Planning and Zoning Commission the following appeal procedure has been included in the proposed zoning code: "24-9.12 Appeal Procedure Any action of the Committee in disapproving or conditionally approving a permit application, may be taken to the City Council within sixty (60) days of the decision and any action of the Committee so appealed from shall not become effective unless and until approved by the Council. On appeal the City Council may: A. Grant exceptions or waivers from the provisions of this article when required to prevent a substantial hardship to the effected land owner or injury to the public; B. Explore all means for preserving the historic structure or site including, but not limited to, the feasibility of a modification of the plans or alternate private use of the structure or site which would substanitally preserve the original character thereof, or the possibility of tax relief or public acquisition of the structure or site involved. CC: Lorraine Graves John Stanford Mick Mahoney SMS:ksh HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMITTEE REPORT TO COUNCIL Regarding Designation of the H, Historic Overlay District The Historic Preservation Committee recommends the adoption of the pro- posed H, Historic Overlay District. We have conducted a joint public hearing with the Planning and Zoning Commission on June 25, 1974 to hear public comments on the proposed H, Historic Overlay District. As prescribed by ordinance pro- cedures, the Historic Preservation Committee received preliminary approval of the Planning and Zoning Commission and adopted a resolution stating the viability of the proposed district and establishing that the Historic Preservation Com- mittee should proceed with the designation without unanimous consent from property owners in the district. The Planning and Zoning Commission expressed various concerns over designating the district after the public hearing. At a later meeting they moved to avoid a positive or negative decision in order to prevent Ordinance 9 from coming into effect. We feel that the Planning and Zoning Commission's misgivings should not prevent the establishment of the Historic Overlay District. Development pressures have been significant in the area, and the integrity of Aspen's Victorian character has been threatened already by new construction which, clearly will not complement our existing historic buildings and the surrounding environment. In addition, Ordinance 19 will no longer be in effect with the Planning and Zoning Commission's recommendation for adoption of the revised zoning code and map. The proposed historic district will then be open to any type of development provided building code requirements are met. Along with our recommendation, we enclose a map of the proposed historic district and a list of the criteria which will be utilized in the review and analysis of remodeled and new construction within the district. Included also is the draft of several questions and answers which will accompany the criteria in a pamphlet for general distribution. The pamphlet will be available to persons applying for building permits for exterior construction in the historic district. The purpose of the pamphlet is to inform the public, architects and developers of the purpose, and operation of the historic district. 10/74 .. ASPEN'S HISTORIC DISTRICT This brochure has been prepared to give assistance to architects, planners and developers who have projects located in Aspen's historic district. The intent here is to state the purpose of the district; the City's goals and objectives regarding the Historic District to provide guidelines that identify physical elements of the district which should be incorporated into future development. The following questions explain the historic district and the development and use of the criteria. WHY ESTABLISH A HISTORIC DISTRICT? Aspen has a concentration of Victorian buildings in the downtown area. These old structures contribute to Aspen's heritage as a west- ern mining town, and provide a unique individual setting as a winter and summer resort. Many of the old buildings are outstanding examples of historical or architectural significance while others are less prestigious. Together they represent an area with distinctive char- acteristics that cannot be attributed to individual structures but rather to the combination of the whole. In essence, the total is greater than the sum of its parts. Therefore, the purpose of the Historic District is to protect and promote the visual environment in which the historic structures exist. -2- . WHY NOT JUST DESIGNATE EACH INDIVIDUAL HISTORIC STRUCTURE? Aspen's concentration of historic structures are interspersed with more recent buildings and vacant land. Some of the newer buildings complement the visual impression established by the historic structures while other newer buildings make individual impressions which are unrelated to the predominate historic character. Designation of only the historic structures would not protect the character of the surrounding environment. There- fore, establishment of the historic district is an effort to create a continuity of old and new structures which have a visual harmony. -3- . I. DOES THIS MEAN THAT NEW BUILDINGS MUST "LOOK OLD"? Absolutely not!! The proposed historic district does not dictate architecture and new construction to perpetuate imitations of earlier architectural styles. New construction is, in fact, encouraged to be a positive statement of today's contemporary architecture utilizing new ideas and technology. The only concern established by the historic district is the "compatibility" and "harmony" of new construction with the historic buildings. -4- WHAT ARE THE FACTORS THAT ESTABLISH "COMPATIBILITY" AND HARMONY"? Compatibility and harmony can be defined as those physical and visual elements of the historic structures which are similar. For instance similarities of scale, massing, form building materials, colors, textures, fenestrations etc. of buildings in the proposed historic district have been analysed and identified. These simi- larities form the basis of the criteria as a guide for new construe- tion, additions and exterior remodeling of buildings in Aspen's proposed historic district. Several examples of similarity of Aspen's historic structures are as follows: SCALE - Each of the historic structures exist on one, two or three town lots (except for City Hall which extends onto a fraction of a fourth lot). The build- ings are also three and one-half floors or less. FORM - The historic buildings are all basically rec- tilinear with variations in lengths of facades, heights, roof shapes and special architectural features (ie. the Elks Building dome, the Court House Cupola). BUILDING MATERIALS - Larger buildings in Aspen are com- posed of rectilinear masony or stone while wood is often used on smaller structures. COLOR - Larger buildings are again generally variety of a warm muted earth colors similar to indigeneous materials with a variety of trim colors that complement the massonry. -5- In Aspen, we are blessed with historic houses, commercial buildings, churches, hotels and public buildings that add character, continuity and interest to the community. We believe these structures attest their own significance, and we are dedicated to their preservation and the development of an attractive urban environment. Indeed it is the belief of the Historical Preservation Committee that preservation and enhancement of these symbols of Aspen's past is progress - progress that contributes to the character, educational and recreational values of Aspen's future. This cultural heritage, once destroyed, can never be replaced. -6- r)==a n rpiaa t==0 ri==71 1-1 r»a LUzd U 23 U Li=Lill LUg T 1 ' 11 1 li litil li i .ji .1 111 11 1 1 1 - PITKIN M 1 11 HOUSE 1 2 - counr i COUNTY 1 An Aird ST. 45 6 .. 1 V 1 i i r--7--T ~ HALL nl 29 1 8 6 ciTY.*0 1 HOP KINS AVE.

Initiation of Procedure Whenever in the opinion of the Historic Preservation Commission a structure, combination of structures, site or area meets the standards for designation of H, Historic Overlay Districts, as set forth in Sub- section D., Section 17, Chapter 1 of Title 11 hereof, ··· the,Historic Preservation Commission shall contact .the owner or owners of such structure, combination of st-ruc- tures, site or area, outlining the reasons for and -5- effects of designation as an H, Historic Overlay Di_s- trict, and, if possible, shall secure the owner's written consent to such designation. Following this contact the Historic Preservation Commission may pro- ceed by officially adopting a resolution: (a) stating that a preliminary investigation and review indicates that the described structure, combination of structures, site or area is eligible for designation as an H, His- torie Overlay District; (b) stating either that the Historic Preservation Commission is in receipt of the owner's written consent to such designation or why the Historic Preservation Commission feels that it should proceed without such consent; (c) requesting that a joint public hearing with the Historic Preservation Com- mission and the Planning and Zoning Commission be sche- duled on the question of designation at a specific time, date and place. 2.

The Planning and Zoning Commission shall - IM% recommend approval, modification or disapproval and the reasons therefor, and shall submit said recommen- dation to the City Council within 30 days after the joint public hearing date. Failure on the part of the Planning and Zoning Commission to submit a recommen- dation within the specified period shall indicate ap- proval of the proposed designation. During the joi_nt public hearing the Historic Preserva- tion Commission shall consider the designation proposal with respect to the standards and criteria outlined for said designation within Section 17, Chapter 1 of Title 11 of the Zoning Code of the City of Aspen.

In addition, the Zoning District Map of the City of Aspen shall be amended to indicate specified property within an II, Historic Overlay District as a structure, combination -8- of structures, site or area for preservation by the addition of the suffix H to the property so designated by the appropriate amendment. Failure to record such amendment or. notice within the required time shall suspend the effective date of the designation until the recording has been made. F.
