NOTE TO: Aspen Historic Preservation Commission THRU: Amy Guthrie, Historic Preservation Officer FROM: Sara Adams, Preservation Planner RE: Dwell Information Kiosk Location and Improvements: Recommendation to City Council DATE: October 11, 2006 SUMMARY: On June 8,2005 the HPC voted 3 -2 to approve a minor development application for specific improvements to the downtown pedestrian mails including: an information kiosk, fire hearth, seasonal events bulletin, benches, and bike racks. City Council is looking to HPC and the CCLC for direction regarding if the kiosk should be removed and if so, to what location. Council would like specific input from HPC regarding urban design issues and historic context of the kiosk. During the June 8th meeting, board members expressed concern over the location of the information kiosk at the intersection of Galena and Cooper citing inconsistencies with the historic context of the area, in other words: putting a building in the middle of the historic street grid would interrupt historic patterns downtown. Pedestrian flow and additional clutter obstructing the visual experience downtown were raised as important issues. The mobility of the kiosk seemed to alleviate some of the concerns voiced by the HPC, as it provides flexibility in location and "trial and error" testing in different areas on the mall. The Design Guidelines do not offer specific guidance for improvements to the pedestrian mails; however, the overarching policy for design in the Commercial Core Historic District states "improvements... should maintain the integrity of historic resources in the area. At the same time, compatible and creative design solutions should be encouraged." Chapter 13 emphasizes the importance of maintaining the original arrangement of parcels and street patterns: "the layout of early buildings, streets, sidewalks and alleys still can all be seen in this system, and should be maintained." Prominent historic building forms in the Commercial Core Historic District are simple and rectangular volumes with flat roofs. Council is asking for direction on the following issues regarding the Information Kiosk: 1. Location 2. Urban design in historic Commercial Core Attachments: a. Staff Memo, June 8,2005 b.

MEMORANDUM TO: Aspen Historic Preservation Commission THRU: Chris Bendon, Deputy Community Development Director Amy Guthrie, Historic Preservation Officer FROM: Sara Adams, Historic Preservation Intern RE: "D3 Architects" improvements to downtown pedestrian malls- Minor Development DATE: June 8,2005 SUMMARY: The proposed physical improvements to Aspen's Downtown Core, located within the City-owned right-of-way street corridors of the Cooper/Galena pedestrian mails and the 11yman pedestrian mall, are intended to enhance the experience offered to locals and tourists. The Cooper/Galena pedestrian malls and the Hyman pedestrian mall are located within the Commercial Core Historic District, however the malls have not been designated historic. The downtown pedestrian malls are managed by the City of Aspen Parks and Recreation Department. 5, The applicant is proposing several "dwell amenities for the pedestrian malls that have been endorsed by City Council. The amenities are based on City Council's desired order of priority. Staff recommends HPC approval for the public amenities for the Cooper/Galena pedestrian malls and the Hyman pedestrian mall with the exception of a restudy of the large graphic on the guest service pavilion. APPLICANT: City of Aspen Parks Department represented by Scott Chism and D3: Dunnett Design, Ajax Design & Communications, and Willis Pember Architects. PARCEL ID: N/A ADDRESS: Cooper/Galena pedestrian malls and the Hyman pedestrian mall, Townsite and City of Aspen, Colorado. ZONING: Commercial Core. 1 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: A list of the design guidelines relevant to this Minor Review is attached as "Exhibit A." A guest service pavilion is proposed to replace the current temporary structure at the corner of Cooper and Galena Streets. The new movable, heated structure will be present year round. In addition to the information sign encircling the top of the square structure, one exterior wall will display a large red "i" graphic, covering the entire wall. A fire health is proposed for the Cooper and Galena pedestrian mall intersection near the current Ralph Lauren store and across from Paradise Bakery. The proposed hearth will have a steel roof which shelters radiant heating elements and the fire itself. This element will encourage dwell time during cool weather and complement the existing seating and tables. A seasonal events kiosk with nighttime lighting is proposed to replace the temporary four-sided wooden information kiosks approved by the HPC last summer, located on the Cooper pedestrian mall near Kemosabe. The proposed kiosk is comprised of three vertical steel panels with display areas on both sides, and provides a more visually and physically accessible design. The kiosk near the Wagner Park Playground will remain for the time being. Curved oak and steel benches are proposed for the pedestrian malls. The curved element of the bench is intended to enhance the existing seating opportunities. The curved shape will increase seating opportunities and encourage a social environment. A prototype bench is proposed for the Manrico-side ditch on the Cooper Pedestrian Mall. A timeframe for the prototype to be removed or become permanent and replicated in the project area has yet to be determined. 2 New mobile bike racks are proposed to replace the existing bike racks and ultimately create up to 28 - 30 total racks throughout the Commercial Core area. The new bike racks are more efficient, mobile, and accommodate a smaller space than the existing racks. A prototype will be placed on the Cooper Pedestrian Mall near Kemosabe. A timeframe for the prototype to be removed or become permanent and replicated in the project area has yet to be determined. D3 has recommended landscape improvements for the four streams/ditches along the Cooper and Hyman Pedestrian Malls; however these improvements are not under contract for further development with the City yet. The applicant proposes to change the width of the ditch water features and add plant elements. The ditch drain design proposes to incorporate "mini-water features" that are child-friendly. In general, staff finds the elements within the proposal to be acceptable as new street furniture that is not constrained to a design relationship with the Victorian Ilistoric District since the elements are a product of modern mall development. Staffs only concern is with the scale of the red "i" graphic on the wall of the guest pavilion kiosk, and its lack of compliance with sections 14.25, 14.26, and 14.27. While the large graphic will draw visitors to the kiosk, it is not in compliance with the signage regulations located in Land Use Chapter 26 of the Municipal Code. City Council has the ability to grant approval for this sign on public property, although they would have to overturn HPC's decision if the board were to deny this element. The relevant guidelines are: 14.25 Locate signs to be subordinate to the building design. Signs should not obscure historic building details. Small scale signs, mounted on the building, are encouraged. Free-standing signs should not be so large as to obscure the patterns of front facades and yards. 14.26 Sign materials should be similar to those used historically. Painted wood and metal are appropriate. Plastic and highly reflective materials are inappropriate. 14.27 Use signs to relate to other buildings on the street and to emphasize architectural features. u Position signs to emphasize established architectural elements. It is best to mount signs so they fit within "frames" created by components of the facade design. 61 Pay particular attention to placing new signs on existing buildings when renovating. The signs should not obscure existing details. 3 0 0 000 Staff finds the brass lighting fixtures proposed for the seasonal events kiosk appear to comply with sections 1.15,14.6 and 14.7. The lights appear to be small and have the ability to be mounted inconspicuously, per: 1.15 Minimize the visual impacts of site lighting. o Site lighting should be shielded to avoid glare onto adjacent properties. Focus lighting on walks and entries, rather than up into trees and onto facade planes. 14.6 Exterior lights should be simple in character and similar in color and intensity to that used traditionally. u The design of a fixture should be simple in form and detail. Exterior lighting must be approved by the HPC. o All exterior light sources should have a low level of luminescence. 14.7 Minimize the visual impacts of site and architectural lighting. Unshielded, high intensity light sources and those which direct light upward will not be permitted. Shield lighting associated with service areas, parking lots and parking structures. Timers or activity switches may be required to prevent unnecessary sources of light by controlling the length of time that exterior lights are in use late at night. Do not wash an entire building facade in light. Avoid placing exposed light fixtures in highly visible locations, such as on the upper walls of buildings. o Avoid duplicating fixtures. For example, do not use two fixtures that light the same area. Staff finds the recommended landscape enhancements comply with section 1.16 of the design guidelines. As stated previously, the pedestrian malls have not yet been deemed historic; however the applicant states in the written description that the proposal intends to enhance the original mall concept by Robin Molney. 1.16 Preserve historically significant landscape designs and features. 1 This includes the arrangement of trees, shrubs, plant beds, irrigation ditches and sidewalks in the public right-of-way. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends HPC grant Minor Development approval for the "dwell" pedestrian mall improvements with the following conditions: 1. Work with staff to create an information sign on the side of the guest services kiosk that conforms to guideline sections 14.25, 14.26, and 14.27 as well as Municipal Code. The sign must receive HPC approval. 2. Notify HPC if any mechanical equipment will be visible. 3. Alllighting must be concealed and compliant with City lighting ordinance. 4 0 0 00 0 4. There shall be no deviations from the exterior elevations, landscape plan, fixtures, or materials as approved without first being reviewed and approved by staff and monitor when the information is available. 5. Vested Rights: The development approvals granted herein shall constitute a site- specific development plan vested for a period of three (3) years from the date of issuance of a development order. However, any failure to abide by any of the terms and conditions attendant to this approval shall result in the forfeiture of said vested property rights. Unless otherwise exempted or extended, failure to properly record all plats and agreements required to be recorded, as specified herein, within 180 days of the effective date of the development order shall also result in the forfeiture of said vested property rights and shall render the development order void within the meaning of Section 26.104.050 (Void permits). Zoning that is not part of the approved site-specific development plan shall not result in the creation of a vested property right. No later than fourteen (14) days following final approval of all requisite reviews necessary to obtain a development order as set forth in this Ordinance, the City Clerk shall cause to be published in a newspaper of general circulation within the jurisdictional boundaries of the City of Aspen, a notice advising the general public of the approval of a site specific development plan and creation of a vested property right pursuant to this Title. Such notice shall be substantially in the following form: Notice is hereby given to the general public of the approval of a site specific development plan, and the creation of a vested property right, valid for a period of three (3) years, pursuant to the Land Use Code of the City of Aspen and Title 24, Article 68, Colorado Revised Statutes, pertaining to the following described property: Nothing in this approval shall exempt the development order from subsequent reviews and approvals required by this approval of the general rules, regulations and ordinances or the City of Aspen provided that such reviews and approvals are not inconsistent with this approval. The approval granted hereby shall be subject to all rights of referendum and judicial review; the period of time permitted by law for the exercise of such rights shall not begin to run until the date of publication of the notice of final development approval as required under Section 26.304.070(A). The rights of referendum shall be limited as set forth in the Colorado Constitution and the Aspen Home Rule Charter. Exhibits: Resolution # , Series of 2005 A. Relevant Design Guidelines B.

Jason said a recessed transparent treatment between the buildings might be successful; something thin and transparent. MOTION: Sarah moved to continue the public hearing and conceptual development for 435 W. Main until July 13, 2005; second by Derek. All in favor, motion carried. 4-0. ASPEN MEADOWS - CONFERENC HALL - DOERR-HOSIER CENTER - REFERRAL COMMENTS ON MATERIALS Jeffrey Berkus and Joede Schoeberlein Jeffrey said we are only showing two materials on the building, white concrete and gray metal panels. These colors respond to the existing two colors on the building. Jeffrey Berkus said there are a group of donors involved in this building and 3 have signed off and one has said there is too much aggregate in the Colorado concrete. We will try to smooth that out in the final sample. The board was in favor ofthe material palate. Jason is the monitor. "DWELL ARCHITECTS" IMPROVEMENTS TO MALLS Affidavit - Exhibit I Sarah Adams relayed to the board that the improvements are proposed for the Cooper/Galena pedestrian mall and the Hyman pedestrian mall. In general staff finds that the elements within the proposal to be acceptable as new street furniture and not constrained to a design relationship with the Victorian district since the elements are products of modem development. The only concern is the scale of the "red i graphic" on the guest kiosk. It may need restudied and rescaled because it is not in compliance with Section 14.25,14.26 and 14.27 of the Historic Preservation Guidelines. Scott Chism, Parks planner - Lisa Baker, Downtown Catalyst Willis Pember, Kevin Dunnett 8 ASPEN HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION MINUTES OF JUNE 8, 2005 Lisa said Henry Beer and Ford Frick did a report about our downtown core. One o f the issues they focused on was that Aspen had no dwell areas. From some of their recommendations and drawings it was determined that infill structures were needed and the company D3 Architects was chosen. They have gone through a series of public meetings and met with City Council and got approval for a budget over $200,000. In addition handouts were done to over 60 retailers and restaurateur's to get feedback from them as well. All responses were positive. The proposed changes are minor but will make a difference to the downtown core. Kevin Dunnett, site planner and landscape architect stated that the design is a culmination of 8 months of work and numerous task force meetings. Five items are being proposed and if approved, hopefully will be installed by this winter. The area with the most consolidation is by Paradise Bakery, Manrico, Ralph Lauren and Kemo Sabe. Guest service pavilion Fire hearth Seasonal event kiosk Curb bench prototype - two twenty foot segments. Bike Rack Willis Pember stated that the pavilion will replace the existing ACRA booth. The structure would be up all year. It will be portable and movable. It will be built off-site and dropped in by crane. It will be illuminated on the inside and is constructed of steel and will have an awning. Dunnett said the existing tables put out by the Parks Dept. have activated that space. The fire hearth is supported by three pylons in a circular theme. If the hearth is successful possibly one could be installed on the Hyman mall. Infrared heaters will be installed underneath the hearth to provide lower heat. The kiosk has a two dimensional feeling where you can actually walk in between the panels. Smalllight fixtures will be connected underneath the roof which will be corten. ACRA will also have information on the kiosk. 9 ASPEN HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION MINUTES OF JUNE 8, 2005 Kevin said one of the curb benches will have a back with solid white oak stained. The one without a back enables someone to sit on the bench both ways. The proposed material for the bike rack is corten. There are opportunities to do branding i f some of the merchants want to pay for half the rack. Jason said the seasonal kiosk has a solar panel on it. Kevin said the City directed us not to pursue that based on the complexities of it and the budget. Derek asked what the shelf life would be for the pieces. He has seen Willis's work and trusts that it will be a high quality product. His only concern is that it doesn't becomes "pop" art. It looks great for five or ten years then it resonates into an awkward piece. He also stated that he is not sure this will be 100% successful but is willing to take a chance. Chairperson, Jeffrey Halferty opened the public hearing. Toni Kronberg inquired about the horse drawn carriage and if they would still be able to be at their existing location. Willis said they will remain and they can make the radius and get through. Toni also suggested that something be over the health so that people don't through things into it. She also asked i f the Fire Dept. has reviewed the plans for access. If we are going to encourage cycling it would be a good idea to have some place near the bike racks to store back packs. People are always riding with their back packs. Michael said his concern is the consistency of these very foreign pieces in an historic commercial core. The only piece he has concerns about is the hearth but given its size he can support the project. Jason sid he cannot support the project because the two malls are open spaces and putting buildings in open space blocks the views. All you see are buildings. He could approve the fire hearth i f it didn't have a roof on it. Why are we forcing buildings on our mall, block off another street. Information is important but a guest service pavilion is not necessary. Guideline 1.14,1.16 are not in compliance. Regarding the permanent structures, if they were wood they could be disassembled in four hours but getting the kiosk in with a crane is not appropriate. Removing the light posts 10 ASPEN HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION MINUTES OF JUNE 8. 2005 is a waste of money. Jason said he feels we are decorating a mall that is already successful. He feels we are dropping a bunch of architectural pieces in the mall when information call be obtained at the Wheeler or the ACRA. Sarah said the malls can be better utilized which in turn would help the retailers on the mall. As a whole she does not support pedestrian malls. What is successful about downtown areas is the downtown traffic and that involves pedestrian, bikes and vehicles. Pearl Street in Boulder is successful because every block has traffic flow. When you are in a vehicle you can be dropped off and enter the pedestrian mall. Sarah lived on Cooper for 2 M years and her concern is the amount of items that are being placed in that particular area and the traffic flow. The scale ofbuilding to open space makes good public space. By bringing in volumes that create mass you need to make sure the balance is still there. The most successful thing in the proposal is opening up the middle of Cooper Street mall into a more plaza area that forces people to stay in the middle of the mall. She is also leery about the amount of items that are being placed in one space. Jeffrey supports the downtown improvements but has concern with the cluttering of spaces. There is a real flow issue. Understandably we need a place for information that serves the area. The existing kiosk works in the summer. The proposed corner is a prominent corner for Winter sculpt. He supports the bike racks and benches. The scale and lettering of the information kiosk is not in scale with our guidelines. Fire hearths seems to be an area for trash. The location o f the kiosk vs. the fire hearth is a good comment. The event kiosk makes sense but not at the demise of our open space. Michael said the area is a unique place and the proposal does not violate the historic nature of this intersection. Sarah said the historic nature o f this intersection is a grid; it is not a pedestrian mall. To put a building in the middle of what used to be a street is against the historic pattern or our downtown. Derek said the Wagner Park bathrooms were of concern and people said it would ruin our open space but it has been completely successful for that area. Looking at the size and scale of these entities if it is a failure, it is something that we can undo. He is willing to take a chance. 11 ASPEN HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION MINUTES OF JUNE 8. 2005 Applicant response. Kevin said they looked at a temporary kiosk but felt it would tend to look cheap. In the discussion with the task force it was determined to do something more permanent. It is a steel frame and unbolting it and moving it would not be difficult at all. All the items can be moved. Willis said he wished the HPC members could have been involved in the early discussions. The malls are from the 70's. The malls are very dark now and linear. There is no interest at eye level. Willis pointed out that signage is architecture. Scott pointed out that the things presented tonight were not designed in a void. It was the result of a lot of people's opinions and thoughts. They can go away i f they fail but a lot of people are willing to take the chance. Kevin pointed out that the Frick and Beer report identified the kiosk in the winter as one of other major problem areas and that it would be open all year long directing people. MOTION: Michael moved to approve Resolution #20 as drafted with the five conditions as set forth and the restudy of the sign; second by Derek Derek said the architect brought out good points about signage and architecture being integrated and he highly encourages everyone to look at the California transit authority which is a wonderful building that incorporates signage. Yes vote: Michael, Derek No vote: Sarah, Jeffrey, Jason Motion failed 3 -2. Sarah said the graphic signage does not comply with our guidelines. Also that the positions be relooked at. MOTION: Sarah moved to approve the dwell project with the following condition: That the event kiosk and guest services pavilion are re-evaluated for their positioning and permanentency to be approved by stajf and monitor; motion second by Derek. Discussion 12 ASPEN HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION MINUTES OF JUNE 8, 2005 Sarah asked why everything had to be at that particular· corner. Jason said he feels some of the information should move over to Wagner Park. Kevin said ACRA wants a live body in the kiosk to help instill year round dwell activity. Amended motion: Sarah amended the motion to approve the dwell project with the suggestion that more consideration taken to the move-ability and flexibility of the objects so that the items can be moved around during the different seasons; second by Derek. Motion carried 3-2. Yes vote: Jeffrey, Sarah, Derek No vote: Michael, Jason Sarah said there is the concern o f putting the event kiosk in this mall and how all o f these elements affect the downtown pattern of development that the HPC is specifically interested in. Not only in buildings, but in building relationships. Michael commented that if HPC feels this is bad preservation we should vote it down. If we think it is bad urban planning we can still vote it down but bad urban planning is beyond our scope. City Council can overturn our decision. Jeffrey said he reviewed the standards and we do not have standards to not approve it. WORKSESSION - 308 E. HOPKINS - NO MINUTES MOTION: jeffrey moved to adjourn; second by Michael.

Stock Symbol OTCBB: ROTB Recommendation: STRONG BUY Recent Price: $1.78 Website: www. rotoblock.com At Undervalued Stocks, we don't get excited about many stocks. That's because it's getting harder and harder to find stocks that have the potential to make investors rich very quickly. Blue Chips can't and IPOs rarely pay off for small investors. History shows that the only consistent way for small investors to see their money double, triple or more in the short run is to be smart enough to find small caps with huge potential and buy in before they take off - the kind of stocks that get us excited and could make you rich. The stock that has us so excited right now is that of a little known company with a HUGE upside potential. Better yet, if it lives up to just a fraction of its potential, those who get in now could end up cashing out big very soon! The potentially undervalued company we are talking about is Rotoblock Corporation (OTCBB: ROTB), a tiny company that has made what may be one of the most significant developments in engine technology over the last few decades. Rotoblock is a very small company by any measure, but our enthusiasm over this sensational opportunity is growing rapidly, and price and volume increases in the shares of the company prove that early investors that have done their own research are as excited as we are. ROTB was formed specifically to exploit a series of patents covering a remarkable device called the Oscillating Piston Engine, a completely new type of internal combustion engine that demonstrates significant advantages over even the most sophisticated existing internal combustion engines for a broad range of applications. Not only is this remarkable device predicted to deliver in excess of 50% more power than a conventional engine of similar weight, it is also ideally suited to burn tomorrow's environmentally friendly fuels, such as hydrogen and ethanol. Better still, this engine has no complicated valve train or water cooling system and can be easily serviced with simple hand tools, making it ideal for use in what are shaping up to be the world's biggest markets - China and Indial Smart investors are taking action. With only a little over 30 million shares outstanding, and many of those under restriction and held in the hands of company insiders, this stock may explode when the word gets out. How much longer this company can stay below the radar screen of the world's major institutional investors remains to be seen, but with oil prices at near record levels and environmentally friendly solutions at the top of everyone's list of worries, this stock has the potential to double again and again! Will everything happen as expected? We can't say for sure, but all indications are that oil prices have not topped out, environmental pressures will force governments to legislate the increased use of "clean fuels", and Chinese and Indian economic growth will continue to take the world by storm - and all of these events may mean a major payoff for everyone involved! All smart investors know that it is easier to have a $1 stock go to $5 than a $10 stock to go to $50. An undervalued stock with the explosive upside potential of ROTB can do just that and much more for savvy investors. Now is the time to act if you really want to take advantage of this unique situation - jittery stock market, soaring oil prices and huge untapped potential form what could be the best stock play to come along in decades. But the word is getting out. Chance s like this are few and far between and the buzz on the street is that ROTB is a BUY! Who knows when you'll have another chance to turn such a huge profit again? Smart investors strike when the iron's hot and with ROTB, it's SIZZLING!

MEMORANDUM T€): Aspen Historic Preservation Commission THRU: Chris Bendon, Deputy Community Development Director Amy Guthrie. Historic Preservation Officer FROM: Sara Adams, Historic Preservation Intern RE: "83 Architects" improvements to downtown pedestrian malls- Minor Development DATE: June 8.2005 SUMMARY: The proposed physical improvements to Aspen's Downtown Core, located within the City-owned right-of-way street corridors of the Cooper/Galena pedestrian malls and the Hyman pedestrian mall, are intended to enhance the experience offered to locals and tourists. The Cooper/Galena pedestrian mails and the Hyman pedestrian mall are located within the Commercial Core Historic District, however the malls have not be Ihn designated historic. The downtown pedestrian malls are managed by the City of Aspen Parks and Recreation Department. The applicant is proposing several "dwell" amenities for the pedestrian malls that have been endorsed by City Council. The amenities are based on City Council's desired order of priority. Staff recommends HPC approval for the public amenities for the Cooper/Galena pedestrian malls and the Hyman pedestrian mall with the exception of a restudy of the large graphic on the guest service pavilion. APPLICANT: City of Aspen Parks Department represented by Scott Chism and D3: Dunnett Design, Ajax Design & Communications, and Willis Pember Architects. PARCEL ID: N/A ADDRESS: Cooper/Galena pedestrian malls and the Hyman pedestrian mall, Townsite and City of Aspen, Colorado. ZONING: Commercial Core. 1 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 h undred (300)feet of the subject property in accordance with the procedures set forth iii Chapter 26.316. Staff Response: A list of the design guidelines relevant to this Minor Review is attached as "Exhibit A." A guest service pavilion is proposed to replace the current temporary structure at the corner of Cooper and Galena Streets. The new movable, heated structure will be present year round. In addition to the information sign encircling the top of the square structure, one exterior wall will display a large red "i" graphic, covering the entire wall. A fire hearth is proposed for the Cooper and Galena pedestrian mall intersection near the current Ralph Lauren store and across from Paradise Bakery. The proposed hearth will have a steel roof which shelters radiant heating elements and the fire itself. This element will encourage dwell time during cool weather and complement the existing seating and tables. A seasonal events kiosk with nighttime lighting is proposed to replace the temporary four-sided wooden information kiosks approved by the HPC last summer, located on the Cooper pedestrian mall near Kenlosabe. The proposed kiosk is comprised of three vertical steel panels with display areas on both sides, and provides a more visually and physically accessible design. The kiosk near the Wagner Park Playground will remain for the time being. Curved oak and steel benches are proposed for the pedestrian malls. The curved element of the bench is intended to enhance the existing seating opportunities. The curved shape will increase seating opportunities and encourage a social environment. A prototype bench is proposed for the Manrico-side ditch on the Cooper Pedestrian Mall. A timeframe for the prototype to be removed or become permanent and replicated in the project area has yet to be determined. 2 New mobile bike racks are proposed to replace the existing bike racks and ultimately create up to 28 - 30 total racks throughout the Commercial Core area. The new bike racks are more efficient. mobile, and accommodate a smaller space than the existing racks. A prototype will be placed on the Cooper Pedestrian Mall near Kemosabe. A timeframe for the prototype to be removed or become permanent and replicated iii the proj ect area has yet to be determined. D3 has recommended landscape improvements for the four streams/ditches along the Cooper and Hyman Pedestrian Malls; however these improvements are not under contract for further development with the City yet. The applicant proposes to change the width of the ditch water features and add plant elements. The ditch drain design proposes to incorporate "mini-water features" that are child-friendly. iii general. staff finds the elements within the proposal to be acceptable as new street furniture that is not constrained to a design relationship with the Victorian Historic District since the elements are a product of modern mall development. Staffs only concern is with the scale of the red "i" graphic on the wall of the guest pavilion kiosk, and its lack of compliance with sections 14.25, 14.26, and 14.27. While the large graphic will draw visitors to the kiosk. it is not in compliance with the signage regulations located in Land Use Chapter 26 of the Municipal Code. City Council has the ability to grant approval for this sign on public property, although they would have to overturn 1-1 PC's decision if the board were to deny this element. The relevant guidelines are: 14.25 Locate signs to be subordinate to the building design. u Signs should not obscure historic building details. u Small scale signs. mounted on the building, are encouraged. u Free-standing signs should not be so large as to obscure the patterns of front facades and yards. 14.26 Sign materials should be similar to those used historically. Painted wood and metal are appropriate. Plastic and highly reflective inaterials are inappropriate. 14.27 Use signs to relate to other buildings on the street and to emphasize architectural features. 3 Position signs to emphasize established architectural elements. It is best to mount signs so they fit within "frames" created by components of the facade design. u Pay particular attention to placing new signs on existing buildings when renovating. The signs should not obscure existing details. 3 00 Staff finds the brass lighting fixtures proposed for the seasonal events kiosk appear to comply with sections 1.15,14.6 and 14.7. The lights appear to be small and have the ability to be mounted inconspicuously. per: 1.15 Minimize the visual impacts of site lighting. u Site lighting should be shielded to avoid glare onto adjacent properties. Focus lighting on walks and entries, rather than up into trees and onto facade planes. 14.6 Exterior lights should be simple in character and similar in color and intensity to that used traditionally. u The design of a fixture should be simple in form and detail. Exterior lighting must be approved by the HPC. u All exterior light sources should have a low level of luminescence. 14.7 Minimize the visual impacts of site and architectural lighting. Unshielded. high intensity light sources and those which direct light upward will not be permitted. Shield lighting associated with service areas, parking lots and parking structures. Timers or activity switches may be required to prevent unnecessary sources of light by controlling the length of time that exterior lights are in use late at night. Do not wash an entire building facade in light. Avoid placing exposed light fixtures in highly visible locations, such as on the upper walls ofbuildings. u Avoid duplicating fixtures. For example. do not use two fixtures that light the same area. Staff finds the recommended landscape enhancements comply with section 1.16 of the design guidelines. As stated previously, the pedestrian malls have not yet been deemed historic: however the applicant states in the written description that the proposal intends to enhance the original mall concept by Robin Molney. 1.16 Preserve historically significant landscape designs and features. u This includes the arrangement of trees, shrubs, plant beds, irrigation ditches and sidewalks in the public right-of-way. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends HPC grant Minor Development approval for the dwell" pedestrian mall improvements with the following conditions: 1. Work with staff to create an information sign on the side of the guest services kiosk that conforms to guideline sections 14.25, 14.26, and 14.27 as well as Municipal Code. The sign must receive HPC approval. 2. Notify HPC if any mechanical equipment will be visible. 3. Alllighting must be concealed and compliant with City lighting ordinance. 4 0 0 00 0 4. There shall be no deviations from the exterior elevations, landscape plan, fixtures, or materials as approved without first being reviewed and approved by staff and nionitor when the information is available. 5.

All of the proposed elements would be located within the City-owned right-of-way street cofridors of the Cooper/Galena pedestrian malls and the Hyman pedestrian mall. As a result, no specific street address or parcel identification number is applicable since streets are exempt. A nearby business, Manrico Cashmere, on Cooper Avenue near the location of two proposed elements has a parcel identification number of 2737-182-21-010. As noted by Henry Beer and Ford Fricke in the BBC and CommArts Aspen Retail Analysis Report, "dwell" areas are crucial to encouraging vitality and additional spending in downtown areas. The , business districts in downtown Aspen located within the pedestrian malls do not encourage as much pedestrian lingering, or "dwell" time as they potentially could. City Council has recognized that ~ shortcomings exist in the downtown business district and has been proactive in commissioning professional consultant teams, hiring a business liaison and eigaging local businesses to determine and 7 .' evaluate solutions to further improve the economic vitality of Aspen. A local design consultant team - presented a comprehensive plan for physical improvements tb Aspen's Downtown Core to City Council in late March. Council agreed in March to develop selected elements of the comprehensive plan, including a new visitor information kiosk, fire heafth, seasonal events kiosk, prototype curved bench and prototype bike rack. This minor development application is for these proposed elements. At that time Council also directed staff from the City of Aspen Parks arid Recreation Department to pursue enhanced landscape treatments along the water ditches found on the Cooper and Hyman Pedestrian Malls, additional caf6-style tables and chairs, additional moveable flower pots and a possible new "tot" play area to be located somewhere on the Hyman Pedestrian Mall-. The proposed "tot" play area design has not yet been developed enough for presentation. The downtown pedestrian malls are managed by the City of Aspen Parks and Recreation Department as an "urban park" within the downtown business district. The park area includes numerous trees, flower 130 SOUTH GALENA STREET · ASPEN, COLORADO 81611-1975 · PHONE 970.920.5000 · FAx 970.920.5197 www. aspengov.com , Printed on Recycled Paper ' 4 beds, benches, public amenities- such as Wagner Park, the Mall Fountain, the Wagner Playground and most recently, a c011ection -of caf6-style tables and chairs. The applicant is proposing additional public anienities to be integrated into the pedestrian mall/park area with the intent~0 of promoting pedestrian lingering and potential additional. business activity. Following are brief descriptions for each of the proposed public amenities and are listed based on City Council' s desired order o f priority: 1. Guest Service Pavilion , Problem: Current structure used by ACRA in summertime is inadequate for staff and cannot , provide comprehensive information or reservations for visitors. Structure is not present during the wintertime. Solution: Implement a visually engaging, movable structure that is present year round and invites , . information requests, and provides a productive heated interior for 2 ACRA staff. The new structure includes turntable brochure displays, computer terminals for onsite reservations help and an exterior digital kiosk (phased at a later date) to aid staff with ~ visitor information resources and a sink for hot drinks. A drinking fountain and event i graphics on the back of the structure further draw visitors to helpful staff and ~ complement existing and proposed mall elements. Location: Cooper & Galena pedestrian mall intersection near Gracy's and across from Paradise Bakery. 2. Fire Hearth Problem: Lack ofwarm spring, cool summer evening, fall & winter "dwell" locations in key -, downtown areas. - Solution: Implement one public hearth (possibly a second in the future) w/ fire elements & a sheltefed roof. Circular radiant heating elements under roof & at foot level provide warmth and shelter during fall, winter, spring & cool sumbler nights. The proposed - - hearth will complement existing seating and tables. Location: Cooper & Galena pedestrian mall intersection near Ralph Lauren and adross from Paradise Bakery. 3. Seasonal Events Kiosk (replaces existing 4-sided Information Kiosks) Problem: . Current Event kiosks block pedestrian and visual access. Information currently does not include cultural and events other than Aspen SkiCo. and ARdprogramming ' Solution: Implement a revised information kiosk design that increases the available area to post , information while improving the visual and physical accessibiliti The new kiosk would · consist of three (3) vertical steel panels that each could have information posted on both sides. The additional panels Would be used for cultural and community events listings. - ~ Colorfulc digitally imaged vinyl's are displayed on removable diebond panels. Location: Same locations as two existing 4-sided wooden Information Kiosks 4. Curved Bench Prototype Problem: The existing wooden benches are arranged on the pedestrian malls in a pattern that reinforces linear pedestrian movements. , ~ Solution: Introduce a curved bench design that compliments the existing seating opportunities offered by the wooden benches and contributes to the proposed landscape enhancements by creating varied areas to sit. The design would have a similar design vemacular as the other proposed elements yet still be "classic." This new bench prototype will have curved oak seat slats held by weathering steel supports. Location: Prototype will be placed near "headwaters" of the Manrico-side ditch on the Cooper Pedestrian Mall. 5. User Friendly Bike Rack Prototype Problem: Current bike racks are difficult to use and most have the strong potential to damage bike components and/or finishes. Consequently bike owners attach bikes to everything but the existing racks. Also a lack of racks in mall centers and other locations means that bikes are chained to trees and posts, which creates interference with pedestrian flows. Solution: Replace existing bike racks with intelligently designed racks that can easily accommodate mountain and road bikes in a smaller space. New rack design allows a user to attach a bike in less than 3 seconds and would not cause potential damage to the bikes. Racks are mobile and can be moved for seasonal or event use. Retail/service businesses as well as the City would purchase the new racks for public and employee use. Business owners could brand them individually to designate racks for customers and employees. Simple locking bar for securing expensive bikes. Location: Prototype will be placed on the Cooper Pedestnan Mall near Kemosabe. 6. Landscape Enhancements Problem: Current mall areas lack low-level plantings with visual interest. Existing tree canopy is well above eye level and creates a great deal of shade. The shade is desirable only during the hottest summer afternoons and not necessarily during times of frequent cool temperatures for the rest of the year. The existing streams drain into deep basins that create significant fall risks for small children/pedestrians. The small strips o f turf grass are problematic to maintain and get worn down since few paved perpendicular crossings exist. Solution: Increase and vary the width of the ditch water features and adjacent ground plane landscape areas. Enhance the landscape areas with hardy plants that provide interesting color and texture. Redesign the ditch drains into child-friendly mini water features. Varied, highly visible landscape zones will encourage people to slow down and walk around the new plants and under the existing trees. New landscape zones provide both desirable shady and sunny places for people to "dwell." Research into the City' s acquisition and use of the Wheeler Ditch water that is used to supply the pedestrian mall streams indicates that the water used downtown has always been used for "aesthetic" reasons. The most regular use of the water, according to water records back to 1930, was "town gardens, flower gardens, aesthetics, and City purposes." Landscape improvements along the pedestrian mall stream areas will enhance the original mall concept by Robin Molney and the past garden uses o f the ditch water. Location: Upstream and downstream ends of each of the four streams/ditches along the Cooper and Hyman Pedestrian Malls. All of the proposed "dwell" elements for the pedestrian malls have been designed to be small, interesting, interactive objects within an urban park area that help make the time spent downtown more comfortable. The designs of the different elements are intended to appear related through the use of similar materials and modem forms that will contribute to the uniqueness and sense of place of Aspen's pedestrian malls. The proposed elements follow the modern design vernacular that has been established with the Wagner Park Edge Project (public restroom building, Sister Cities Plaza and playground redevelopment). The applicant is seeking approval of the proposed elements and changes to the pedestrian malls that have been outlined in this letter. The development team has made an effort to ensure that the proposed elements are scaled and detailed in a manner that is compatible to the "H" Historic Overlay District applicable in the downtown business district. The applicant is presenting a minor development application for elements that will enhance the character of the pedestrian malls and contribute to the attractive uniqueness of Aspen's downtown core. Our development team is hopeful that the HPC will support our application and the proposed elements endorsed by City Council. Sincerely, 4~-- du.--h.
