MEMORANDUM To: Kim Johnson, Planning Department From: Roxanne Eflin, Historic Preservation Planner Re: Smith-Elisha Carriage House - Conditional Use Review Date: February 13, 1990 HPC Action: The HPC has granted Final Development approval for the restoration and renovation of the entire Smith-Elisha parcel, including the adaptive re-use of the c.1890 carriage house. The inclusion of antique stores in the list of conditional uses for the Office Zone District was primarily an incentive to encourage innovate, adaptive uses of historic resources found in the Main Street Historic District. Parking: The HPC has reviewed the parking requirements for the parcel as well, and has granted a variation for a reduction in the required spaces, finding that the maximum number of parking spaces are included on-site. Other Concerns: Our final concerns with the development of the parcel is signage and landscape treatments, principally an HPC issue. Currently, three large signs appear in the front of the two structures. It is my recommendation that the largest (blank) non-conforming free-standing sign be removed as soon as possible; another free-standing sign has been erected next to it. We understand the large non-conforming sign is historic, in that it is a stall divider from the interior of the carriage house, however, all three signs together are overkill. The "Stuart Buchanan" sign attached to the carriage house was not reviewed by the HPC. A few HPC members feel it is slightly large and incompatible with the subordinate nature of the carriage house. The sign itself appears to be high quality, which the HPC supports. The applicant has worked out the landscape plan with the HPC in great detail. The HPC wishes to see the approved landscaping completed this spring. I bring these two issues to your attention in this referral memo for your discretion in bringing them forward again to the applicant, through the P&Z review. Recommendation: P&Z approval for the conditional use for the carriage house. memo.kj.elisha ./0 0 WAYNE L. VANDEMARK, FIRE MARSHAL 420 E.

August 28, 1989 TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: lue&$-- 1 l This is in reference to the property located at 320 West Main Street in Aspen, specifically the Carriage House situated on this site. Be advised that two skylites currently designed into the rehabilitation/restoration of the Carriage House will be replaced with substitutions. The reason for the substitutions is that those skylites specified are no longer available from the manufacturer, Velux-America, Inc. Specified Model GGL-2 with a rough opening (RO) size of 30-3/4" x 55" (11. 74 -SF) is being replaced with a Model GGL-3 with a RO of 37-3/8" x 63-3/8" (16.19 SF) . Specified Model GGL-4 with a RO of 44-1/8" x 46-1/2" (14.06 SF) is being re- placed with two (2) Model GGL-5 skylites with a combined RO of 27-1/2" x 46-1/2" each or 17.76 SF. Velux-America, Inc. now manufactures only two egress "roof windows" (skylites), a GGL-3 (described above) and a GGL-8 with an RO of 53-1/8" x 55-1/2" (20.24 SF). The two GGL-5's proposed as a substitute for the one GLL-4 (specified) have been removed from the main house on this property in cooperation with Roxanne Eflin (historic planner) and the HPC (Historic Preservation Committee). These units cost approximately $800.00 and it is my desire to re-use these skylites as indicated above. A revised drawing of the North Elevation of the Carriage House is included herewith and these two documents are submitted for your information and comments (if any). 0.

MEMORANDUM To: File and Interested Parties From: Roxanne Eflin, Historic Preservation Planner Re: Smith-Elisha House, 320 West Main St. Date: June 6, 1989 In our attempts to protect the intrinsic historic character of this National Register structure during its renovation and change of use from residential to commercial, we have exhausted every avenue in our search for a compatible fire escape mechanism from the third floor (specifically a retractable ladder system seen used in other historic renovation projects). The project architect, Welton Anderson, the leasing agent, Ramona Markalunas, and myself as staff, have spent hours searching nationwide for a devise that might allow safe exit from the third floor without physical or aesthetic damage to the Smith-Elisha House. We know one is out there, we just haven't found it yet! We are at a loss to provide a design alternative that meets both UBC criteria and historic preservation goals, and have reached what we feel to be a dead end. The alternatives discussed to date by the Building Department are unacceptable to the structure's exterior historic character , yet we understand the need for stricter life, health and safety standards when renovating historic structures. However, we wish to indicate that other, more heavily utilized local historic landmarks have received approval for chain ladder fire escape methods. The project architect, as well as staff and the HPC feel that a more flexible approach is necessary in this instance to arrive at a "best possible" alternative. Unfortunately, I do not know what that is at this point, other than allowing a chain ladder fire escape mechanism to be installed, and to continue our search for a compatible, retractable ladder. The Smith-Elisha adaptive use project is the first of many yet to come, affording US an opportunity to continue examining alternatives to a sticky situation, felt by historic preservationists nationwide.

The electrical permit will be issued after the main permit is issuedÂ· Inspections will be required. 4) We will require your licensed plumbing contractor to pull a permit for plumbing work. The application does not include or show the replacement of fixtures. I know that fixtures on two levels have been replaced. The plumbing permit will be issued after the main permit is issuedÂ· Inspections will be required. 5) The permit application does not include rework to the heating system. 6) The application should confirm with Environmental Health that the fireplaces are actually on inventory and have been recordedÂ· 7) There were no details on the actual windows and frames that were replacedÂ· 8) There were no details on your proposed egress requirements from the third level and possible second levelsÂ· 9) There were no details on the use of the basement. - 0 0 10) It appears that the occupancy of the structure will change from R-3 to B-2. The change in occupancy will require that the new use or occupancy shall comply with the provisions of the codeÂ· The plan review Will include egress requirements, corridors, fire resistive. construction, ventilation, handicapped access and facilities, smoke detection etc. The plans appear to be incomplete. To expedite the approval and review of the plans they will be forwarded to Zoning and Planning for approvalÂ· Additional details Will be required for plan checking to meet the requirements for a 8-2 occupancy.

MEMORANDUM To: Aspen Historic Preservation Committee From: Roxanne Eflin, Planning Office Re: Conceptual Development - 320 West Main St. Smith-Elisha Carriage House and Partial Demolition to Main House - Public Hearing Date: December 20, 1988 LOCATION: 320 W. Main St., Lots N, O, and P, Block 44, City and Townsite of Aspen - The Smith-Elisha House; Carriage House ZONING: "0" Office; Main Street Historic Overlay District RATING: Exceptional, the highest rating APPLICANT: Alan J. Shada HPC PROJECT MONITOR: Chris Durakis APPLICANT'S REQUEST: The applicant is requesting HPC's conceptual development review and approval at this public hearing, to consider alterations to the Carriage House, demolition of the detached (non-historic) metal shed behind the main house and the partial demolition and removal of the basement stairs and covering located at the rear of the main house. Staff has determined the proposed changes are significant in nature, therefore, HPC's review will be a two-step process, Conceptual (Public Hearing) and Final. The minor changes also proposed for review at this meeting to the principal structures (main house), and are being reviewed separately under a one-step Minor Development application. Restoration work previously reviewed, approved and signed off by staff has begun on the main house. The proposed net leasable square footage is approximately 2,784 sq. ft. for office use (main structure and first floor of the carriage house) and 839 sq. ft. for a one bedroom apartment to be located in the second floor of the carriage house. PROJECT SUMMARY: The following alterations are being proposed by the applicant: Carriage House: 1) South elevation: Enlarged central gable dormer 2) South elevation: Two double hung windows in central dormer 3) South elevation: Two smaller gable dormers on either side of the central dormer 4) South elevation: New matching double hung window .. next to existing window, first floor 5) Three (3) railing bars across the lower portion of the hayloft doors, second floor 6) North elevation: Glass in second floor hayloft doors 7) North elevation: Glass in upper 2/3rd's of the panels of the first floor barn doors 8) North elevation: One square flat roof skylight, approximately 3' x 3' 9) East elevation: Glass installed in existing first floor window openings 10) West elevation: Two new matching double hung windows on either side of the existing center window, first floor Principal Structure: 1) Demolition and removal of the detached (not historic) metal shed off the alley to provide for on-site parking 2) Partial Demolition and removal of the exterior basement stairway and covering to provide for on- site parking Site: 1) Raising the lowest terrace grade to sidewalk level 2) Rubble stone wall along south property line (sidewalk) replaced with coursed stone wall 3) Walkways installed leading to central seating area 4) New plantings replacing small diameter trees and shrubbery 5) A cut into the stone wall at the sidewalk for walkway access 6) Removal of the brick bar-b-que, east property line PLEASE REFER TO STAFF'S MINOR DEVELOPMENT REVIEW MEMO FOR FURTHER COMMENTS REGARDING NATIONAL REGISTER LISTING AND RITC (REHABILITATION INVESTMENT TAX CREDITS) FOR THIS PROJECT. PUBLIC INQUIRIES: Staff has received two in-person inquiries from neighbors regarding their concerns of the potential parking impacts the change in use will produce. Also, the immediate adjacent neighbor voiced her opinion in person regarding the east property line retaining wall, the site grade changes and the loss of mature landscaping on the site. Her concerns were also for the surface root coverage and potential damage to the large pine located on her property, due to dumping of soil over the root area. This particular tree was previously determined by HPC as an important screening element of the addition to the (next door) corner log cabin. 2 .. PROBLEM DISCUSSION: Staff brings to HPC's attention the following rehabilitation standards established by the Secretary of the Interior. These standards are of significant importance in reviewing this project. Staff's response to these standards as well as the Development Review Standards and the Aspen historic guidelines will follow. Standard 1. Every reasonable effort shall be made to provide a compatible use for a property which requires minimal alternation of the building, structure, or site and its environment, or to use the property for its originally intended purpose. Standard 2. The distinguishing original qualities or character of a building, structure, site or its environment shall not be destroyed. The removal or alteration of any historic materials or distinctive architectural features should be avoided whenever possible. Standard 10. Whenever possible, new additions or alterations to structures shall be done in such a manner that if such additions or alternations were to be removed in the future, the essential form and integrity of the structure would be unimpaired. Additionally, the Aspen Historic District and Historic Landmark Development Guidelines, Section VI. "Residential Buildings Renovation and Restoration", pages 47 through 61 have been reviewed by staff as applicable for this project. Staff finds that the guidelines are somewhat weak in addressing design issues for adaptive use projects of secondary historic structures, however, the general Residential Renovation guidelines are applicable. HPC should consider the following Guidelines when reviewing this project: Guideline: Spacing - Maintain the visual unity of building clusters on individual sites. Some lots have a collection of buildings that are smaller than the main house. They may include support buildings such as sheds, barns, or carriage houses. In many cases the materials used to finish these buildings were similar to those of the main house. The strong sense of visual unity which results should be maintained. Where clusters of existing buildings occur retain the similarity of materials by using sidings that match. Guideline: Traditional landscape patterns should be maintained. In alterations to existing buildings and in new construction traditional landscape patterns should be maintained. In development review by HPC involving landmark structures and development in districts, site plans will be considered with regard to the affect of new construction on the open space/landscape characteristics of the property. 3 0 . Guideline: Old outbuildings surviving from the mining era contribute to the character of Aspen's neighborhoods and should be preserved whenever possible. Staff's response to these Guidelines are incorporated in the responses to the Development Review Standards below. The Standards for Partial Demolition are located in Section 7-602 (B), page 7-29 of the Land Use Code, and follow the Standards for Development Review and Staff's responses. Development Review Standards Standard #1: The proposed development is compatible in character with the designated historic structure located on the parcel and with development on adjacent parcels when the subject site is in an H, Historic Overlay District or is adjacent to a Historic Landmark. Response: Staff finds the alterations proposed for the north, east and west elevations of the Carriage House compatible in character, and necessary to provide needed light and egress into these interior spaces. We do, however, find that the proposed changes to the south elevation are noncompatible and inappropriate, and do not meet the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation or the Guidelines. Please refer to review comments made by State Historical Architect, Jay Yanz (letter attached). Standard #2: The proposed development reflects and is consistent with the character of the neighborhood of the parcel proposed for development. Response: Adaptive uses of carriage houses are highly desirable and staff commends the applicant for such an ambitious and significant project. However, as previously stated, the proposed alterations to the south elevation cannot be recommended by staff or the State Historical Architect. The question of "when does a carriage house begin looking like a (competing) residence, and loses forever its visual and historical integrity as a support structure" should be asked. Carriage houses are found throughout the West End. The Smith-Elisha carriage house is, in staff's opinion, one of the most substantial and handsome of all of Aspen's secondary historic structures, and should remain that way. Standard #3: The proposed development enhances or does not detract from the cultural value of designated historic structures located on the parcel proposed for development or adjacent parcels. 4 .. Response: The cultural value of the Smith-Elisha House to Aspen and the entire community cannot be disputed. This nearly 100 year old structure shares the company of only a handful of other distinguished Victorian-era mansions in Aspen. The Smith-Elisha serves as a symbol of Aspen's remarkable mining history, and has become a favorite historic resource for locals and visitors alike for decades. Its sensitive renovation and adaptive use is applauded by staff. Therefore, certain aspects of the project are recommended for approval, others are not due to the non- compatibility and loss of integrity reasons stated throughout this review memo. Standard #4: The proposed development enhances or does not diminish or detract from the architectural integrity of a designated historic structure or part thereof. Response: Staff finds the fenestration changes proposed to the east the east, west and north elevations of the carriage house, including the flat roof skylight do not detract from the architectural integrity of the Smith-Elisha House. These are reasonable and balanced in nature. The skylight in this situation is an acceptable, reversible alternative to add needed light into the second floor. The Planning Office does find, however, that the changes proposed for the south elevation of the carriage house do alter the integrity and character of this structure and are not recommended. The enlargement of the central gable dormer, the addition of the two smaller dormers and the new first floor window are significant, noncompatible and irreversible changes to this primary elevation, in our opinion. The Standards for Review of (partial) Demolition (4 through 6) are as follows: Standard #4. A demolition and redevelopment plan is submitted when required by HPC, or for any partial demolition, that mitigates to the greatest extent practical, any impact that occurs to the character of the neighborhood where demolition is proposed to occur Response: The demolition and partial demolition proposed are to provide for five on-site parking spaces. The Office Zone district requires one space per bedroom for residential uses, and 3 spaces/1,000 sq.ft. of net leasable area; fewer spaces may be provided by Special Review (P&Z), but no fewer than 1.5 spaces per 1,000 sq. ft. of net leasable area. The applicant states that all five spaces (if approved by Special Review) will fit on site with the proposed demolitions. Staff finds the demolition proposed for the non-historic metal shed at the rear of the structure appropriate to help mitigate parking impacts. However, the demolition of the rear basement 5 .. stairs, which projects from the main structure approximately five (5) feet cannot be recommended by staff until such time as the State Historical Architect has reviewed and approved its applicability, certified for tax credits. The stairs appear to be original; their function was (is) to serve as egress to the basement for storage. To sacrifice this original portion of the main house for parking space is a difficult trade off which staff cannot support at this time, however, this entire block of Main Street is being impacted with additional parking needs. Staff shares the applicant's desires to provide for all on-site parking. Further study is recommended, and referral comments and approval or disapproval from the State Historical Architect are being sought at this time. Standard #5. The demolition plan mitigates, to the greatest extent practical, any impact the proposed demolition has on the historic importance of the structure located on the parcel and adjacent parcels. Response: Staff finds the plan does not mitigate any impact on the historic importance of the structure regarding the partial demolition of the basement stairs. The demolition/removal of the metal shed has no impact on the historic importance of the structure. Standard #6. The demolition plan mitigates to the greatest extent practical any impact on the architectural integrity of the structure. Response: Staff feels the architectural integrity of the Smith- Elisha House will be impacted with the partial demolition/removal of the rear basement stairs. The HPC should again refer to the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation stated previously in this review memo for the established criteria. ALTERNATIVES: Alternative actions the HPC may take include: 1. Approval of the conceptual development, demolition and partial demolition application as submitted 2. Approval of the conceptual development and demolition application as submitted subject to the conditions stated in staff's recommendations below. 3. Table the application, requiring additional information 4. Deny the application, finding it does not meet the Development Review Standards and is inappropriate 5. Deny portions of the application, finding that such development activity does not meet the standards for development review. 6 .. RECOMMENDATION: The Planning Office recommends that the HPC grant Conceptual Development approval for alterations to the east, west and north elevations of the carriage house, and grant Demolition approval to remove the detached metal shed located at the rear of the main house. Approval is also subject to the following conditions: 1. That all work be prior approved by the State Historic Architect and that application be made for RITC certification through the Colorado Historic Society as official agency, should the applicant wish to pursue the 20% tax credits on the rehabilitation. 2. That exact materials specification be made for Final Development Review 3. That all conditions placed upon Conceptual Development approval be addressed in the Final Development Review application. 4. A detailed explanation of the railing bars across the upper floor hayloft doors, north elevation, carriage house. 5. A detailed explanation of the landscaping and accessory features proposed for the site, including the stone wall The Planning Office recommends that the HPC deny approval for the following proposed changes: 1. All changes proposed for the south elevation of the carriage house, including the enlargement Of the central gable dormer, the addition of two smaller gable dormers, and the additional double hung window on the first floor, as specified in Jay Yanz's review letter. Further study is recommended of other non-principal elevations should additional natural light be required. 2. The partial demolition to the basement stairs located at the rear of the main house. Further study is recommended to mitigate impacts due to the loss of this architectural element. 3. The site grade changes to bring the lowest terrace level up to the sidewalk. The sloping terraces and Victorian lawn setting of the Smith-Elisha have been determined a significant aspect of its National Register listing. 7 .. 4. The cut into the stone wall at the sidewalk. The principal historic entrance orientation should be retained. 5. Any further removal Of mature and significant landscaping. hpc.memo.320wm.cd 8 0 . 1 ~.1 : El 9 1988 .

MEMORANDUM To: File From: Roxanne Eflin Re: Smith-Elisha House Variation, Carriage House Date: January 20, 1989 It was brought to staff's attention by Bill Drueding that the HPC failed to grant a variation for development to the carriage house when Final Development was approved. As no enlargement or increase in the non-conformity was taking place, staff did not see the necessity to grant a variation, finding that the carriage house historically encroached into the setbacks. New window sills of approximately 3" are the only additional proj ection into the rear setback. Under the circumstances, a variation may have been appropriate to grant, which would have been the intention of the HPC had staff informed them of such. Staff Will be recommending variations for future carriage house projects of similar encroachments or setback problems. memo.file.320wm .. MEMORANDUM To: Mayor and Council Thru: Robert S.

The property has been v determined eligible for listing on the National Register of Mou,oft. Historic Places. The new owner, Alan Shada, intends to restore the main house and renovate the carriage house, developing office space in both structures and a living unit for himself in the second floor of the carriage house. HISTORIC LANDMARK DESIGNATION STANDARDS: Any structure or site that meets one (1) or more of the following standards may be designated as H, Historic Overlay District and/or Historic Landmark: 1. Standard: Historical Importance: The structure or site is a principal or secondary structure or site commonly identified or , .. associated with a person or an event of historical significance to the cultural, social or political history of Aspen, the State of Colorado, or the United States. Response: The first owner of the house, Eben Smith, was one of the most prominent mining men in Colorado, with an association in Leadville as the manager of three mines. With some forty years experience, Smith was among the most successful mining operators in the state. He did much to promote safety and productivity of Colorado mining's industry. It is believed that Smith had this house built when he came to Aspen c. 1889 or 1890 as the manager of the Franklin Mine and the Deep Shaft Company. Smith returned to Leadville in 1892. One of Smith's later and lasting contributions to the mining industry was the founding of the Mine Smelter and Supply Company in April, 1896. The company sold large, heavy mining equipment world wide, including the Wilfley Concentrating Table and the Marcy Ball Mill which revolutionized the ore refining process. The second owners of consequence were Laurence Mansor Elisha and his wife Svea. Elisha's father, Mansor S. Elisha, came to Aspen c. 1888 as a merchant, owning a cigar, stationery and confectionery business until 1911 when he bought the Hotel Jerome. Mansor Elisha owned and managed the hotel until his death in 1935 and Mansor's son, Laurence, assumed the management of the hotel. In 1946, the hotel was leased to the new Aspen Company founded by Walter Paepcke. Laurence stayed on as assistant manager until 1960, when he became manager. Elisha died in September, 1961. 2. Standard: Architectural Importance: The structure or site reflects an architectural style that is unique, distinct or of traditional Aspen character. Response: The Smith-Elisha House is significant for its exuberant Queen Anne and Shingle styles characterized by a shingled second story, a multi-gable roof and an ornate Victorian porch. It was one of the large wood frame residences built during the height of Aspen's silver mining period. Its materials are most likely to be local from the lumber mills near Aspen and constructed by local craftsmen. The house is a marvel of Victorian-era design with two main roof gables of unequal height with a third smaller gable dormer. The gables are faced in diamond cut shingles. The front-most gable has a large round opening. The wrap porch has a second story hipped roof porch above the gabled entry. The wooden porch elements consist of a beaded spindle frieze at the entry, turned posts, sawn brackets and railing with plain balusters. At the roof line there is a molded cornice and paneled frieze. The windows, one-over-one double hung wood sash, vary in width and are arranged singly and grouped in twos and threes. 2 3. Standard: Architectural Importance: The structure or site embodies the distinguishing characteristics of a significant or unique architectural type or specimen. Response: The large, two-and-one-half story Smith-Elisha House is one of Aspen's best Queen Anne style residences. It has an irregular plan, a multi-gable front elevation, a wrap-around porch and a massive two story side bay topped by a gabled roof dormer. The wood frame structure is faced with narrow clapboards on the first story and shingles on the second introducing the Shingle Style to the building. The house, on an elevated site at the west end of the three lots, has a large, sloping terraced side yard were the large, two story wood frame and clapboard carriage house (barn) is located. The carriage house is considered to be contributing to the historic significance of the site. It is accessed off the alley, and is extremely visible from Main Street, the principal facade. Its interior and exterior condition is in remarkably original condition, a unique specimen for the historic district and Aspen. The lawn setting is found to be significant to the site, and is featured in the National Register Nomination form. The rolling terraces are unique in the Main Street Historic District, and in the immediate neighborhood. There is no evidence of an original formal landscape plan. There are foundation plantings around the house, a large spruce tree in front and a low stone wall at the front edge of the property along the sidewalk. An old water pump remains in the front yard near the wall. 4. Standard: Architectural Importance: The structure is a significant work of an architect whose individual work has influenced the character of Aspen. Response: The records in the Planning Office do not indicate the name of the architect, nor the general contractor. 5. Standard: Neighborhood Character. The structure or site is a significant component of an historically significant neighborhood and the preservation of the structure or site is important for the maintenance of that neighborhood character. Response: The Smith-Elisha House is located in the heart of the Main Street Historic District, well known for its collection of fine Queen Anne and Shingle style residences. Its has been revered for decades as one of Aspen's most prestigious and flamboyant Victorian-era residences, lending integrity to its prominent Main Street location. 6. Standard: Community Character: The structure or site is critical to the preservation of the character of the Aspen community because of its relationship in terms of size, location 3 .. and architectural similarity to other structures or sites of historical or architectural importance. Response: The Planning Office feels that the preservation of the Smith-Elisha House is critical to the integrity of the Main Street Historic District and the Victorian character of Aspen. Its central location, size and extraordinary architectural elements symbolize Aspen's heritage at the height of the silver mining boom. Its first century as an Aspen landmark will be celebrated with the restoration and renovation activities proposed, to carry it well into its second 100 years. ? RECOMMENDED MOTION: ..., 11.

APPLICANT: Alan J. Shada APPLICANT'S REQUEST: The applicant is requesting historic landmark designation of the subject property. The property is eligible for a $2,000.00 designation grant, which the applicant is also requesting. The applicant's designation grant request letter is attached. HISTORIC EVALUATION RATING: "Exceptional", the highest rating ZONING: "0" - Office Zone District ADVISORY COMMITTEE VOTE: On December 6, 1988, during public hearings, both the HPC and P&Z unanimously recommended landmark designation of the Smith-Elisha House. PROBLEM DISCUSSION: The=Smith-Elisha House, c. 1890,=is the last remaining 12 "Exceptional" structure to be landmark designated in the Main = Street Historic-District- The property - has been . determined - eligible w for listing on the National-Register of Historic Places. The new owner, Alan Shada, intends to restore the main house and renovate the carriage*house;- developing office ,-space in both structures and a living funit for himself in the Â» second floor of the carriage house. HISTORIC LANDMARK DESIGNATION STANDARDS: Any structure or site that meets one (1) or more of the following standards may be designated as H, Historic Overlay District and/or Historic Landmark: 1. Standard: Historical Importance: The structure or site is a principal or secondary structure or site commonly identified or ll- associated with a person or an event of historical significance to the cultural, social or political history of Aspen, the State of Colorado, or the United States. Response: The" first owner 0Lthe house, Eben jimith, was one of the most prominent-mining men=in Colorado, with an association in Leadville as the manager of three mines. With some forty years experience, Smith was among the most successful mining operators in the state. He did much to promote safety and productivity of Colorado mining's industry. It is believed that Smith had this house built when he came to Aspen c. 1889 or 1890 as the manager of the Franklin Mine and the Deep Shaft Company. Smith returned to Leadville in 1892. One of Smith's later and lasting contributions to the mining industry was the founding of the Mine Smelter and Supply Company in April, 1896. The company sold large, heavy mining equipment world wide, including the Wilfley Concentrating Table and the Marcy Ball Mill which revolutionized the ore refining process. The second .owners of consequence were Laurence..Hansor.Elisha and his wife Svea. Elisha's father, Mansor S. Elisha, came to Aspen c. 1888 as a merchant, owning a cigar, stationery and confectionery business until 1911 :when g he - bought the Hotel Jerome. Mansor Elisha owned and managed the hotel until his death in 1935 and Mansor's son, Laurence, assumed the management of the hotel. In 1946, the hotel was leased to the new Aspen Company founded by Walter Paepcke. Laurence stayed on as assistant manager until 1960, when he became manager. Elisha died in September, 1961. 2. Standard: Architectural Importance: The structure or site reflects an architectural style that is unique, distinct or of traditional Aspen character. Response: The..Smith-Elisha -House A ia- signi ficant -for-its exuberant Queen - Anne *and Shingle styles -characterized *by a shingledh second story,-e-multi-gable roof and an ornate Victorian porch. It was one of the large wood frame residences built during the height of Aspen's silver mining period. Its materials are most likely to be local from the lumber mills near Aspen and constructed by local craftsmen. The house is a marvel of Victorian-era design with two main roof gables of unequal height with a third smaller gable dormer. The gables are faced in diamond cut shingles. The front-most gable has a large round opening. The wrap porch has a second story hipped roof porch above the gabled entry. The wooden porch elements consist of a beaded spindle frieze at the entry, turned posts, sawn brackets and railing with plain balusters. At the roof line there is a molded cornice and paneled frieze. The windows, one-over-one double hung wood sash, vary in width and are arranged singly and grouped in twos and threes. 2 .. 3. Standard: Architectural Importance: The structure or site embodies the distinguishing characteristics of a significant or unique architectural type or specimen. Response: The large, two-and-one-half story Smith-Elisha House is one of*Aspen's best Queen Anne style residences. It has an irregular plan, a multi-gable front elevation, a wrap-around porch and a massive two story side bay topped by a gabled roof dormer. The wood frame structure is faced with narrow clapboards on the first story and shingles on the second introducing the Shingle Style to the building. The house, on an elevated site at the west end of the three lots, has a large, sloping terraced side yard were the large, two story wood frame and clapboard carriage house (barn) is located. The carriage house is considered to be contributing to the historic significance of the site. It is accessed off the alley, and is extremely visible from Main Street, the principal facade. Its interior and exterior condition is in remarkably original condition, a unique specimen for the historic district and Aspen. The lawn setting is found to be significant to the site, and is featured in the National Register Nomination form. The rolling terraces are unique in the Main Street Historic District, and in the immediate neighborhood. There is no evidence of an original formal landscape plan. There are foundation plantings around the house, a large spruce tree in front and a low stone wall at the front edge of the property along the sidewalk. An old water pump remains in the front yard near the wall. 4. Standard: Architectural Importance: The structure is a significant work of an architect whose individual work has influenced the character of Aspen. Response: The records in the Planning Office do not indicate the name of the architect, nor the general contractor. 5. Standard: Neighborhood Character. The structure or site is a significant component of an historically significant neighborhood and the preservation of the structure or site is important for the maintenance of that neighborhood character. Response: The Smith-Elisha House is located in the heart of the Main Street Historic District, well known for its collection of fine Queen Anne and Shingle style residences. Its has been revered for decades as one of Aspen's most prestigious and flamboyant Victorian-era residences, lending integrity to its prominent Main Street location. 6. Standard: Community Character: The structure or site is critical to the preservation of the character of the Aspen community because of its relationship in terms of size, location 3 ' 1 .. and architectural similarity to other structures or sites of historical or architectural importance. ~tesponse: The Planning Office feels that the preservation of t~~ %Smith-Elisha House is critical to the integrity of the Main/ 4 Street Historic District and the Victorian character of Aspen. J Its central location, size and extraordinary architecturalp~ felements symbolize Aspen's heritage at the height of the silver / / mining boom. Its first century as an Aspen landmark will be ~ # celebrated with the restoration and renovation activities i 1 proposed, to carry it well into its second 100 years.

Anderson, Jr., City/County Manager02:,ue~ From: Roxanne Eflin, Planning Office 44 Re: Smith-Elisha House GMP Exemption requirements Date: November 28, 1988 SUMMARY: On November 14, 1988, during Public Comment, City Council directed the Planning Office to respond to Welton Anderson's request for code clarification regarding growth impact mitigation for historic landmarks under GMQS Exemption. The subject property of Welton's concerns is the historic Smith- Elisha House, which is proposed to be converted from single family to office use in the Office zone district. Growth impact mitigation, specifically cash-in-lieu for affordable housing, adds significantly to the Smith-Elisha renovation project, as stated by Welton. PROBLEM DISCUSSION: Section 8-104(B)(1)(c) states: < Development which may be exempted by the commission shall be... The enlargement or change in use of an Historic Landmark which develops more than 500 square feet of commercial or office space by more than 50% percent. The applicant shall demonstrate that the development will mitigate its impacts on the community by providing employee housing at the level which would meet the threshold required in Section 8-106 for the use; providing parking according to the standards of this Code; meeting the project's water supply, sewage treatment, drainage control, transportation, fire protection and solid waste disposal needs; and demonstrating that the project's site design if compatible with surrounding projects and appropriate for the site. Prior to the revision of the Land Use Code this year, Historic Landmarks were exempt from GMQS and growth impact mitigation was not required. The Elli's project, which significantly enlarged the historic landmark and was at the same time exempt from impact mitigation, provided the catalyst for the above stated change in the code. The Planning Office recognizes the need to reexamine incentives allowed for the development of historic landmarks. We are already working on drafting amendments which will be presented to P&Z in January within the Code Correction Ordinance. We feel the tradeoff between growth impact mitigation and historic preservation is the essence of the issue that arose in the context of the Berko (Lilly Reid) project, and it appears to also be the case for this project. We believe the issue can be resolved for both projects during the first quarter of 1989. memo.cc.elisha.incentives 2 ,. L. .. e MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor and Council Thru: Robert S.

ZONING: " C" - Conservation HISTORIC EVALUATION RATING: Barns/Ruins site: " 51' Marolt House: " 4 " Note: The Holden-Marolt Barns/Lixiviation Ruins site has been determined eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. SUMMARY: Staff is presenting the two sites for landmark designation in one memo as they are intimately associated with one another historically. The original site was the Holden Smelting and Milling Company, built in 1891 for treating silver ore by the process of lixiviation (a leaching/separation process which treated low grade ore with a chemical solvent for reduction purposes). Principal portions of the machinery were imported from Germany. The main building covered 12,000 sq. ft. and the plant itself had a capacity of 125 tons per day. The "barns site" include the hillside ruins of the main plant on the banks of Castle Creek. The main "barn" served as the sampling works building, and includes a platform loading dock. A spur of the Midland Railroad served the smelting plant; the drive in front of the structure is the remnant of that spur. The house served as both the office and caretakers quarters. The two sites have been rated separately due to existing and proposed use and historic integrity; the "barns site" Will be leased by the Aspen Historical Society for their new Ranching and Mining Museum, slated for opening late Spring, 1989. PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION: On July 11, Council moved to initiate Â» ca/4 9 the process of historic landmark designation of both the Holden- Marolt Barns/Lixiviation Ruins site and the Marolt House, and directed staff to begin the designation process. ADVISORY COMMITTEE VOTE: On September 13, the HPC held a public hearing and moved to add these two sites to the Aspen Inventory of Historic Sites and Structures, necessary due to inadvertent omission of these sites from the 1980 Inventory and the 1986 Inventory Update. The Historic Preservation Committee reviewed the Standards for Landmark Designation and is recommending designation. The HPC also has formally endorsed the Aspen Historical Society's efforts in developing the barns site into a "living history" museum, exhibiting items representing mining and ranching history in Aspen and the Roaring Fork Valley. A museum sub-committee of the Society's Board of Directors has been formed of which staff is serving as liason to. On October 18, the Planning and Zoning Commission also held a public hearing and recommended landmark designation for the two sites. PROBLEM DISCUSSION: The six (6) standards for historic landmark designation are stated in Section 7-702. "Any structure or site that meets one(1) or more of the (following) standards may ne designated as H, Historic Overlay District and/or Historic Landmark. Standard A. Historic Importance: The structure of site is a principal or secondary structure or site commonly identified or associated with a person or an event of historical significance to the cultural, social or political history of Aspen, the State of Colorado, or the United States. Response: Barns site: (c. 1891) These two outbuildings are all that remain of the Holden Smelting and Milling Company, a complex that included a number of support structures and the main smelter plant. The main barn has only been slightly altered both on the exterior and interior. The smaller barn is a portion of the original salt warehouse. Both structures are in relatively good condition and may survive another winter with no significant stabilization. The Lixiviation Ruins are to remain as they currently exist, with no effort to "clean up the site". further study of the ruins site will be required prior to historic interpretation or other activities. Marolt House: (c. 1891) This structure served as the office and watchman's dwelling. It has been altered since the Marolt's purchased the property in the 1930's, however, its historical significance is due to its original association with the entire complex, original location and lawn setting with mature landscaping. 2 . .. Standard B. Architectural Importance: The structure or site reflects an architectural style that is unique, distinct or of traditional Aspen character. Response: The main barn, due primarily to its massive size, has been a fascination for years to many Aspenites and visitors. it is unique due to its projecting platform and eave overhang. The original square cupola has been removed, however, no other major alternations have occurred. The original fenestration pattern has remained unaltered. The Guidelines do not specifically address barn or outbuilding styles, however, "Industrial Style" most closely related to the main barn. The house is a vernacular wood frame gable end one story, which has received a basement and few siding. Its original styling is still evident in its roof pitch, fenestration, scale and massing. Standard C. Architectural Importance: The structure or site embodies the distinguishing characteristic of a significant or unique architectural type or specimen. Response: Certainly the main barn is one-of-a-kind. Its adaption from an industrial-oriented sampling works structure with railroad loading dock into a ranch barn is unique to our community and should be preserved. Standard D. Architectural Importance: The structure is a significant work of an architect whose individual work as influenced the character of Aspen. Response: Early newspaper reports discuss the plant's construction and name contractors, however, no architect or general contractor has been identified. The plant's construction, however, was extremely significant to Aspen's early history and, as one report states: "The building is five stories high and the whole plant is the most complete of the kind in the United States". Standard E. Neighborhood Character: The structure or site is a significant component of an historically significant neighborhood and the preservation of the structure or site is important for the maintenance of that neighborhood character. Response: The Holden-Marolt site and the Marolt House Sit outside a "neighborhood", and are found to be historically significant in their original association with the smelting complex. Standard F. Community Character: The structure or site is critical to the preservation of the character of the Aspen community because of its relationship in terms of size, location and architectural similarity to other structures or sites of historical or architectural importance. 3 Response: Both the barns site and the marolt house are of grant historic significance to the Aspen Community, the Roaring Fork Valley and the State of Colorado. The Holden Smelting and Mill Complex is eligible for the National Register for its association with the mining history in Aspen and Colorado, as one of the few remaining structures from the industrial aspects of Aspen';s mining history. The site is likely to yield information about the smelting and milling industry in Aspen if and when an historical archaeological survey is conducted. HISTORICAL DESIGNATION GRANT: Due to its high rating of "5" and its significance in state and local history, the Aspen Historical Society has requested a designation grant in the amount of $2,000.00, which will be applied toward renovation costs of the main barn. Ordinance 42, Series of 1987, allows for a one-time landmark designation grant for residences of a "4" or "5", or higher, rating. Although the main barn is not a residence, this special request by the Historical Society is supported by the HPC due to the financial considerations involved in the site's renovation, its significance to the community and its potential as an educational resource. A designation grant Will demonstrate the city's commitment to preserving the heritage of this site. A recommended motion to approve the landmark designation grant will be included in the memo for second and Final Reading of the designation ordinance. ALTERNATIVES: The legal description for the two sites, as prepared by the Engineering Department, is larger than what is needed in this historic overlay. Upon completion by the Housing Authority of the exact legal description for the site, a supplemental legal description will be recorded. Due to this, the following alternatives are presented for consideration: 1. Pass Ordinance on first reading subject to the substitution of a property survey setting forth the actual boundaries of the historic overlay. 2. Pass Ordinance on first reading; delay the public hearing and second reading until exact boundary description for the historic overlay has been prepared. 3. Table action pending exact boundary description RECOMMENDED MOTION: "Move the approve Ordinance (Series of 1988) on First Reading subject to the substitution of a property survey setting forth the actual boundaries of the historic overlay."

Attachment 6 General Summary of Three Step HPC/Commission/Council Application Process 1. Application Types: The following are the Development Applications which are processed in three steps by the HPC, Commission and Council: * Designate Historic Structure 2. Development Review Procedure Summary. The three step HPC/ Commission/Council review procedure can be described as follows. Stage One: Attend pre-application conference. The purpose of this one-on-one meeting with staff is to determine the review process into which your development proposal fits and to identify the materials staff will need to review your application. Stage Two: Submit Development Application. Based on your meeting with staff, you should respond to the appropriate portions of the application package and submit the requested number of copies of a complete application, with the appropriate processing fee, to the Planning Office. Stage Three: Determination of Completeness. Within five working days of the date of your submission, the application package will be reviewed by a member of the staff. You will be notified in writing of whether the application is complete or if additional materials are required. Please be aware that the purpose of the completeness review is to determine whether or not you have submitted what was requested, not whether the information is sufficient to obtain approval. Stage Four: Review of Development Application. Once your application is determined to be complete, a date for its review by the HPC will be set. The submission due date is 25 days prior to the HPC review date, to allow for the required Public Hearing notice, staff review and memo preparation. It is the planner's task to review your application with respect to its compliance with the Code and to write a review memo. In the memo, the planner will recommend approval, denial or tabling of the application and recommend appropriate conditions to this action. The memo is normally available at the end of the week before your hearing. You will be called to pick up a copy of the memo when it is ready, or we can mail it to you if you so request. .. During the period of staff review, it is essential that public notice be given, when required for your development application. Attachment 5 explains how to go about giving the required notice. Your project will be presented to the HPC at a regularly scheduled meeting. A copy of the agenda showing where during the meeting your application is scheduled can be obtained when you pick up the staff memo. The typical meeting includes a presentation by staff, a presentation by you or your representative, questions and comments by the review body and the public and an action on the staff recommendation, unless additional information is requested by the review body. If an application for significant development is being consolidated with the designation process, the conceptual approval must be granted prior to the designation recommendation being made. Significant development is a two step process: conceptual review followed by final review. Conceptual development review is a public hearing, final is not. Usually final . review may be accomplished within one month of conceptual i approval, depending upon the scope of the project. , Once a recommendation is made by the HPC, a review by the Commission can be scheduled. This review is typically scheduled for the next available agenda, within 30 days of the date of the HPC's recommendation. An updated staff memo will be prepared for this meeting, which will again be made available to you just prior to the meeting. Commission action normally requires a single meeting, unless additional information is requested. Once a recommendation is made by the Commission, a review by the Council can be scheduled. This review is typically scheduled for the next agenda, within about 15 days of the date Of the Commission's recommendation. Ordinance adoption, however, requires two readings by Council. The second reading is a public hearing. Due to notice requirements, the second reading is generally scheduled 3 or 4 weeks after first reading. If applicable, the designation grant will be included in the Ordinance. Stage Five: Receipt of Building Permit. Once you have received final approval of your development application, you may proceed to building permit review. During this time, your project will be examined for its compliance with the Uniform Building Code. It Will also be checked for compliance with applicable provisions of the Land Use Regulations which were not reviewed in detail during the one step review (this might include a check of floor area ratios, setbacks, parking, open space and the like). Fees for water, sewer, parks and employee housing will be .. . collected if due. Any document required to be recorded, such as a plat, deed restriction or agreement, will need to be reviewed and recorded before a Building Permit is issued. For more information on the Building Permit Stage, please visit the Building Department to obtain handouts on their review procedures. 3. Consolidation: One and two step applications which you may consolidate with a three step application are: * Conditional use * Special review * ESA * GMQS exemption for historic landmark or affordable housing * Significant historic development * Minor historic development If you are submitting any of the above applications along with your three step application, you should also obtain the application package for that type of submission from this office. 3stepsumm .. MEMORANDUM To: Aspen Historic Preservation Committee From: Roxanne Eflin, Planning Office Re: Minor Development, 320 W. Main, Smith-Elisha House Principal structure only Date: December 20, 1988 LOCATION: 320 W. Main St., the Smith-Elisha House, Lots N, O and ~~rBILock 441 City and Townsite of Aspen '4 -- C %4 APPLICANT' E~ REQUEST: The applicant is requesting HPC's approval of the Minor Development proposal to the principal structure* of the Smith-Elisha House. The proposal addresses two items: 1) add two flat roof skylights, west elevation, and 2) replace the two main floor horizontal-in-nature windows on the rear east and west elevations with narrow double hung windows. The existing east window would be replaced with two double hung windows; the existing ' west window would be replaced with one. *Proposed changes to the Carriage House will be reviewed separately, under "Conceptual Development", as these changes have been determined significant in nature. ZONING: "O% Office; "Main Street Historic Overlay District" 7 /VA- 4-44 ,, AV /Uct,&60 2 Q ki. Â¥\Cj - PROJECT SUMMARY: The Smith-Elisha House has been determined .Â© eligible for and is in the process of listing on the National w Register of Historic Places. The applicant wishes to take .2 advantage of the Rehabilitation Investment Tax Credits, 4 therefore, staff has obtained the necessary review comments and t recommendations from the State Historic Architect, Jay Yanz, witht the Colorado Historical Society (attached). To obtain rehab tax credits, all projects must be certified and approved by the Stateg~ Historic Architect and the National Park Service. /--It is extremely important, therefore, that the applicant, his architect and the general contractor have all proposed work, even those items considered small and insignificant in nature, prior- approved by both staff and the state historical architect. Staff wishes to point out that the Smith-Elisha House and Carriage House renovation has the potential to be one of the finest examples of historic preservation in our community. Its high visibility and significance to the Main Street Historic District should be weighed heavily in HPC review. 70 + h #, * ( /(4 W 7-1~49,0 ,+ .. fÂ° PROBLEM DISCUSSION: Staff brings ~ HPC' s attention Eq_ The Secretary of the Interior's Standard #6 which states in part: Repair or replacement of missing architectural features should be based on accurate duplications of features, substantiated by historic, physical, or pictorial evidence rather than on conjecture designs or the availability of different architectural elements from other buildings or structures. This particular standard is important in reviewing the proposal. Equally, the Aspen Historic District and Historic Landmark Development Guidelines have been reviewed, specifically Pages 51-52 under Residential Renovation, which states: "Avoid adding inappropriate features such as new skylights unless their appearance is concealed from principal views. They should avoid being placed on any portion of the roof that faces the street." The Standards for Development Review are located in Section 7- 601(D) (1) and are as follows: 1. Standard: The proposed development is compatible in character with designated historic structures located on the parcel and with development on adjacent parcels when the subject site is in an H, Historic Overlay District or is adjacent to a Historic Landmark. Response: Skylights: Staff and the State Historical Architect find that the proposed skylights are noncompatible and inappropriate in this application. Staff finds that the skylights, though proposed for the west elevation (not the principal facade) are visible, however, the applicant states the proposed skylights are not extremely visible from Main Street as they are partially hidden from view from the adjacent (Copper Horse) two story Queen Ann, and the large pine tree located on the site. Interior alternatives should be sought to provide desired light into this space. Windows: Staff finds the proposed replacement windows in keeping with the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation and the Aspen Historic District and Historic Landmark Development Guidelines, subject to the condition that the applicant research the exact (historic) placement and size of these windows prior to their installation, and receive approval by the State Historic Architect. Should the applicant find he is not able to meet the criteria stated in the above Secretary of the Interior's Standard to 2 .. substantiate such window replacement, an Insubstantial Amendment application shall be required by staff indicating an accurate alternative window treatment. 2. Standard: The proposed development reflects and is consistent with the character of the neighborhood of the parcel proposed for development. Response: Staff finds the window replacement in-keeping with the character of the neighborhood, however, finds the proposed skylights an inappropriate and modern addition to this structure. Staff brings HPC attention again to Jay Yanz's review comments, which state skylights in this application are inappropriate and not approved. 3. Standard: The proposed development enhances or does not detract from the cultural value of designated historic structures located on the parcel proposed for development or adjacent parcels Response: Staff finds that the cultural value of the structure would be diminished with the addition of the proposed skylights. However, we find that the window replacement does not detract from the cultural value, and recommend their approval subject 'to the conditions stated below. 4. Standard: The proposed development enhances or does not diminish or detract from the architectural integrity of a designated historic structure or part thereof. Response: The Planning Office finds that the addition of the two skylights do in fact detract from the architectural integrity of the historic structure, and do not recommend their usage as proposed. On the other hand, the window replacement as proposed would enhance the architectural integrity of both the east and west first floor elevations, a preferred treatment. RECOMMENDATION: Staff commends the applicant for the sensitivity demonstrated to date in the Smith-Elisha renovation. The Planning Office recommends that the HPC approve the application for window replacement subject to the following conditions: 1) that the applicant research the exact (historic) placement and size of these windows prior to their installation. 2) that approval for the window installation be obtained from the State Historic Architect through staff prior to construction Should the applicant find he is not able to meet the criteria 3 .. stated in the above Secretary of the Interior's Standard to substantiate such window replacement, an Insubstantial Amendment application shall be required by staff indicating an accurate alternative window treatment. The Planning Office further recommends that the HPC deny the application for skylights, finding the proposal noncompatible and inappropriate, and that such application would jeopardize the applicant's ability to receive Rehabilitation Investment Tax Credits. hpc.memo.320wm.md 4 1 Aspen/Pitkin Planning Office 130 south galena street aspen, colorado 81611 December 12, 1988 C. Welton Anderson & Associates Architects and Planners P. 0. Box 9946 Aspen, CO 81612 Re: Smith-Elisha House Dear Welton: Attached is a copy of the letter I received late Friday afternoon from Jay Yanz, State Historical Architect, regarding his review of the Smith-Elisha House plans I sent him. His recommendations and comments were sought due to the significance of the project, its National Register nomination and the potential rehabilitation tax credits the owner wishes to take advantage of. As you can see from Jay's letter, many of the changes proposed are not acceptable based upon the criteria established in the Secretary Of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation. Specifically the metal roofing on the main facade, skylights, elimination of the colored glass and site grade changes on the principal structure have not been approved. The gabled dormer and window additions to the carriage house (south elevation) are also not acceptable. I will be incorporating these comments into my review memo for HPC's December 20th Conceptual and Minor Development reviews of the project. The primary concern focuses on whether the building can accept the changes necessary for the proposed adaptive re-use. We are dealing with changes that may alter forever the Elisha's historic integrity. Secondary historic structures should remain exactly that, and not be altered to compete with principal structures. I share the owner's desire to adapt the Carriage House to office and residential uses, however, I also share Jay's concerns regarding the noncompatible changes proposed. This is a challenging project, one which may be resolved by taking a closer look at the alley (north) elevation to provide the needed light. I see where this project may be the catalyst for amending the Historic District and Historic Landmark Development Guidelines to include "Secondary Historic Structures". .. .. I am available at any time to address this proj ect and am very interested in assisting with creative methods to reach Mr. Shada's goals. Please let me know how I may be of help!

Box 2615 Vista, CA 92084 Dear Mr. Shada: Thank you so very much for your letter requesting that our office ask for the official National Register of Historic Places listing for the Smith- Elisha House. This is indeed good news. This house is one of Aspen's most significant buildings and we were very disappointed several years ago when the owner objected to the nomination. At that time, the nomination was sent to the National Register in Washington, D.C. and was officially determined eligible for listing. Your letter has to be notarized, however, before we can forward it to Washington. I am returning your letter and the copy of the deed. Please notarize the letter and return to our office and we will send it on to Washington. For your information, I have enclosed a copy of the regulations for listing of properties determined eligible after an owner withdraws his objection. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. I will look forward to receiving your notarzied letter so we can proceed with listing as quickly as possible. We sincerely appreciate your interest in the preservation of Aspen's important cultural resources. Sincerely, V.h 2]50-,-ul-co-Py-*1 (3 -eÂ·-3 Barbara Norgren C (20) National Register Coordinator BN/jc ce: pidxanne Elf in EnclosuresÂ· 11 . 7 9. c.-2 -A....1 -' ..,2.-99129426%4..7-214%54'&5223',ri-I~-*k-_f=4-494-6 ..i---.22 -STE#-:i*-2:E/2#Â·4IY~&#ft~I-* ~~ -~.4*414-Â·-4 - 4-~ E- Â·Rdi~ 94~4212-Â·- 1::-5'R*4*3240*y:65* -,-,IIIE'.-.-ree-~- 33{R= Â·-4:ie* PeÂ¢.gÂ»iJ, :+-t~t.â€¢ t: ':U--=-41- --be. ... ... - -Jl.- U .....Ul . . - . % -W.1'V *Â· 73:- _--:-Â·->t;Â·Â»4. ,~Â·tr.,12:IK9â€¢:leâ€¢~Â·'-'1Â· ---2-â€¢Pri 3.- ..1--3(-424?t-,1.-~ . -< 5- 0 :i-:-fy':.- r.~44*4**teâ‚¬/Alf ~#1249.-,4841/-.-*4dkk,iA#Affi~44*40**U#U<R--.- r-... -4413:1.24: 4 I - I Â·- Â§ 6011[9](2).

November 28, 1988 Mr. Jay Yanz COLORADO HISTORICAL SOCIETY 1300 Broadway Denver, CO 80203 Re: Smith-Elisha House Dear Jay: I have enclosed copies of the as-builts, exterior and interiors of both the main and carriage houses. I have also included NEW sets of drawings for the proposed changes for the carriage house and the main house, which require your comments and direction. The carriage house is contributing and significant in its association with the Elisha site. The carriage house has never been used for anything other than just that (and storage), and the new owner wishes to convert the main level to office space and the second floor to his living quarters. The original interior (stalls, etc.) Still exist. Welton Anderson, the architect, wishes to provide the needed light into the second floor by adding gabled dormers; the large center one on the south elevation emulates the original one on the north. He also wishes to install a flat skylight in the north elevation roof. Other changes are proposed, as you will see. I feel the changes proposed for the south elevation are too extreme and diminish the historic character too significantly. However, I am not comfortable with recommending approval or denial on these changes without first obtaining your professional opinion. Remember that he is looking into RITC for this project. The main house changes very little. You and I have already discussed the first proposal which included only restoration and exact repair of architectural details and the roof. This new plan includes the two skylight additions on the west roof, which are somewhat hidden by the adjacent structure and a very large tree. What is your position on skylights of this type and configuration? Our guidelines basically do not allow them on principal facades. I am not at all sure the lights proposed for either the main or the carriage house are appropriate. The -0 0 architect also proposes to replace the (presumably original) stained glass in the upper most south gable peak porthole window and replace it with clear glass for interior viewing purposes of Aspen Mountain. Please also note the parking configuration off the alley. The original stairway off the attached shed at the rear of the main house is proposed to be eliminated to allow for the two parking spaces to be located completely on-site, not encroaching into the right-of-way. I am obtaining referral comments from the building department regarding the egress necessity of the stairway. Please also address the front/side lawn treatments. The new owner originally wanted a gazebo in the front lawn; the architect has presented a different alternative: stone, curved seats in a circular pattern. My main concern is that they propose to heighten the level the lowest grade of lawn area up approximately 2.5 to 3 feet to the next highest grade, and build a stone retaining wall along the property line. The lawn, as you may remember, gently curves in terrace fashion away from the main house. I am very interested in seeing the original lawn setting be retained. They are not. Our guidelines do not address the approval or denial of landscaping applications in specific enough terminology - one o f those "gray" areas. How do you review landscaping applications for a project of this caliber? Please review the project as soon as you are able and get back to me. I take this before the HPC on December 20 at the Conceptual Public Hearing. I need to prepare the review memo no later than Wednesday, December 14. I look forward to hearing from you very soon! Please feel free to call with any questions. Thank you very much for your assistance.

Anderson, Jr., City/County Manager From: Roxanne Eflin, Planning Office Re: Smith-Elisha House GMP Exemption requirements Date: November 28, 1988 SUMMARY: On November 14, 1988, during Public Comment, City Council directed the Planning Office to respond to Welton Anderson's request for code clarification regarding impact mitigation for historic landmarks under GMQS Exemption. The subject property of Welton's concerns is the historic Smith- Elisha House, which is proposed to be converted from single family to office use in the Office zone district. Impact mitigation, specifically cash-in-lieu for affordable housing, adds significantly to the Smith-Elisha renovation project, as stated by Welton. PROBLEM DISCUSSION: Section 8-104(B)(1)(c) states: Development which may be exempted by the commission shall be... The enlargement or change in use of an Historic Landmark which develops more than 500 square feet of commercial or office space by more than 50% percent. The applicant shall demonstrate that the development will mitigate its impacts on the community by providing employee housing at the level which would meet the threshold required in Section 8-106 for the use; providing parking according to the standards of this Code; meeting the project's water supply, sewage treatment, drainage control, transportation, fire protection and solid waste disposal needs; and demonstrating that the project's site design if compatible with surrounding projects and appropriate for the site. Prior to the revision of the Land Use Code this year, Historic Landmarks were exempt from GMQS and impact mitigation was not required. The Elli's project, which significantly enlarged the historic landmark and was at the same time exempt from impact mitigation, provided the catalyst for the above stated change in the code. The Planning Office recognizes the need to reexamine incentives allowed for the development of historic landmarks. We are already working on drafting amendments which will be presented to Council in January within the Code Correction Ordinance. We feel impact mitigation is the essence of the issue that arose in the .. context of the Berko (Lilly Reid) project, and it appears to also be the case for this project. We believe the issue can be resolved for both projects during the first quarter of 1989. memo.cc.elisha.incentives 2 1 4 .. MEMORANDUM To: Mayor and Council Thru: Robert S.

Shada APPLICANT'S REQUEST: The applicant is requesting historic landmark designation of the subject property. The property is eligible for a $2,000.00 designation grant, which the applicant is also requesting. The applicant's designation grant request letter is attached. HISTORIC EVALUATION RATING: "Exceptional", the highest rating ZONING: 1,0,1 - Office Zone District ADVISORY COMMITTEE VOTE: On December 6, 1988, during public hearings, both the HPC and P&Z unanimously recommended landmark designation of the Smith-Elisha House. PROBLEM DISCUSSION: The Smith-Elisha House, c. 1890, is the last remaining "Exceptional" structure to be landmark designated in the Main Street Historic District. The property has been determined eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. The new owner, Alan Shada, intends to restore the main house and renovate the carriage house, developing office space in both structures and a living unit for himself in the second floor of the carriage house. HISTORIC LANDMARK DESIGNATION STANDARDS: Any structure or site that meets one (1) or more of the following standards may be designated as H, Historic Overlay District and/or Historic Landmark: 1. Standard: Historical Importance: The structure or site is a principal or secondary structure or site commonly identified or .. . I associated with a person or an event of historical significance to the cultural, social or political history of Aspen, the State of Colorado, or the United States. Response: The first owner of the house, Eben Smith, was one of the most prominent mining men in Colorado, with an association in Leadville as the manager of three mines. With some forty years experience, Smith was among the most successful mining operators in the state. He did much to promote safety and productivity of Colorado mining's industry. It is believed that Smith had this house built when he came to Aspen c. 1889 or 1890 as the manager of the Franklin Mine and the Deep Shaft Company. Smith returned to Leadville in 1892. One of Smith's later and lasting contributions to the mining industry was the founding of the Mine Smelter and Supply Company in April, 1896. The company sold large, heavy mining equipment world wide, including the Wilfley Concentrating Table and the Marcy Ball Mill which revolutionized the ore refining process. The second owners of consequence were Laurence Mansor Elisha and his wife Svea. Elisha's father, Mansor S. Elisha, came to Aspen c. 1888 as a merchant, owning a cigar, stationery and confectionery business until 1911 when he bought the Hotel Jerome. Mansor Elisha owned and managed the hotel until his death in 1935 and Mansor's son, Laurence, assumed the management of the hotel. In 1946, the hotel was leased to the new Aspen Company founded by Walter Paepcke. Laurence stayed on as assistant manager until 1960, when he became manager. Elisha died in September, 1961. 2. Standard: Architectural Importance: The structure or site reflects an architectural style that is unique, distinct or of traditional Aspen character. Response: The Smith-Elisha House is significant for its exuberant Queen Anne and Shingle styles characterized by a shingled second story, a multi-gable roof and an ornate Victorian porch. It was one of the large wood frame residences built during the height of Aspen's silver mining period. Its materials are most likely to be local from the lumber mills near Aspen and constructed by local craftsmen. The house is a marvel of Victorian-era design with two main roof gables of unequal height with a third smaller gable dormer. The gables are faced in diamond cut shingles. The front-most gable has a large round opening. The wrap porch has a second story hipped roof porch above the gabled entry. The wooden porch elements consist of a beaded spindle frieze at the entry, turned posts, sawn brackets and railing with plain balusters. At the roof line there is a molded cornice and paneled frieze. The windows, one-over-one double hung wood sash, vary in width and are arranged singly and grouped in twos and threes. 2 3. Standard: Architectural Importance: The structure or site embodies the distinguishing characteristics of a significant or unique architectural type or specimen. Response: The large, two-and-one-half story Smith-Elisha House is one of Aspen's best Queen Anne style residences. It has an irregular plan, a multi-gable front elevation, a wrap-around porch and a massive two story side bay topped by a gabled roof dormer. The wood frame structure is faced with narrow clapboards on the first story and shingles on the second introducing the Shingle Style to the building. The house, on an elevated site at the west end of the three lots, has a large, sloping terraced side yard were the large, two story wood frame and clapboard carriage house (barn) is located. The carriage house is considered to be contributing to the historic significance of the site. It is accessed off the alley, and is extremely visible from Main Street, the principal facade. Its interior and exterior condition is in remarkably original condition, a unique specimen for the historic district and Aspen. The lawn setting is found to be significant to the site, and is featured in the National Register Nomination form. The rolling terraces are unique in the Main Street Historic District, and in the immediate neighborhood. There is no evidence of an original formal landscape plan. There are foundation plantings around the house, a large spruce tree in front and a low stone wall at the front edge of the property along the sidewalk. An old water pump remains in the front yard near the wall. 4. Standard: Architectural Importance: The structure is a significant work of an architect whose individual work has influenced the character of Aspen. Response: The records in the Planning Office do not indicate the name of the architect, nor the general contractor. 5. Standard: Neighborhood Character. The structure or site is a significant component of an historically significant neighborhood and the preservation of the structure or site is important for the maintenance of that neighborhood character. Response: The Smith-Elisha House is located in the heart of the Main Street Historic District, well known for its collection of fine Queen Anne and Shingle style residences. Its has been revered for decades as one of Aspen's most prestigious and flamboyant Victorian-era residences, lending integrity to its prominent Main Street location. 6. Standard: Community Character: The structure or site is critical to the preservation of the character of the Aspen community because of its relationship in terms of size, location 3 .. .. and architectural similarity to other structures or sites of historical or architectural importance. Response: The Planning Office feels that the preservation of the Smith-Elisha House is critical to the integrity of the Main Street Historic District and the Victorian character of Aspen. Its central location, size and extraordinary architectural elements symbolize Aspen's heritage at the height of the silver mining boom. Its first century as an Aspen landmark will be celebrated with the restoration and renovation activities proposed, to carry it well into its second 100 years.

I- November 16, 1988 Ms. Barbara Norgren National Register Coordinator COLORADO HISTORICAL SOCIETY 1300 Broadway Denver, CO 80203 Re: Smith-Elisha House, Aspen Main Street Historic District and Ski Context, Aspen Dear Barbara: It was good to see you at the Roundtable meeting a couple weeks ago. I hope all is going well with you and you have a very nice Thanksgiving holiday! Great news! The new owner of the Smith-Elisha House, 320 W. Main, Aspen, has signed a consent letter (enclosed) requesting the property be officially listed on the National Register. As you recall, the Smith-Elisha was determined eligible, however, the owners at that time were not interested in carrying through with the designation process. Mr. Alan Shada, owner and President of the Vista, California Historical Society, will be a wonderful asset to the property and Aspen, and wishes to look into the tax credits, as well. I have sent a copy of the elevations with notated renovation/restoration notes by local architect Welton Anderson to Jay Yanz; please take a look at it if you desire! In speaking with Chris Pfaff about how to proceed from here for actual Register listing, she asked me to contact you directly, assuming you have the original documents. Please get back with me as soon as possible with an update so that I may pass it along to Mr. Shada. On a different but related topic, I need to examine with you the feasibility of amending the Multiple Resource Nomination to include a "ski context", with the end goal being the creation of a National Register District out of the local Main Street Historic District. If we were to include those early ski lodges (1945-1955) associated with Aspen's first decade of skiing, the .. percentages are approximately 78-22, contributing vs. non. My thoughts are that we would really have to prove these structures were EXTREMELY significant, maybe on a national level, in relation to America's roots of outdoor recreation and obviously skiing in particular. Idaho's Sun Valley began in the 1930's; Aspen's ski history can be traced to 1936 when Ted Ryan and Andre Roche first came here scouting out the ideal slopes, using historic residential stock as lodges. World War II interrupted development, which got underway again in 1946. This might be a tough one to get through, but the timing is right and the local political and community climate is high! The Wheeler and the Jerome are both celebrating their 100th birthdays in 1989, and the Aspen Music Festival is 40, as well as the Aspen Institute. 1989 is definitely the year to get as many preservation projects going as could be conceived (without burnout!!) and the National Register District project is one I am MOST interested in pursuing. What do I need to do to get this going? Is it feasible? I would really appreciate your help and mostly guidance. (I have formed the Heritage Celebration Committee to help network all these "heritage" celebrations!) My direct number, if you can get through!, is (303) 920-5096, or the Planning Office is 920-5090. Thank you in advance for your terrific help and consideration. Please remember to keep me up to date on Redstone. Sincerely, Roxanne Eflin Historic Preservation Planner enclosure P.S. Do you have any suggestions for a "retrofitted" interior for our Armory (City) Hall? It looks as though we may actually have a real live renovation this next year (and maybe find ourselves in trailers "down valley"), and the questions are beginning to crop up as to what IS appropriate for an interior for this building, which used to house carriages, wagons and vehicles, not to mention a dance hall and basket ball court?? Please send me your "completely new vs. replicated historic" thoughts on this! I'll, of course, be talking with Chris and Jay, too.

I understand the property has already been determined eligible for the Register, and this letter is to serve as my consent to carry through with the designation process. The Smith-Elisha House and Carriage House, c. 1890, is one of Aspen's most prestigious historic properties, located prominently on Main Street, the entrance to this internationally recognized community. I take great pride in owning such a significant historic property, and my plans for its restoration as well under way. Thank you for your assistance. Sincerely/) .' 1 *. Alan Shada P. 0. Box 2615 Vista, California 92084 .. November 16, 1988 Mr. Jay Yanz State Historic Architect COLORADO HISTORICAL SOCIETY 1300 Broadway Denver, CO 80203 Re: Smith-Elisha House, Aspen Dear Jay: I have enclosed a set of the drawings for the preliminary facade renovation/restoration work currently in progress on the Smith- Elisha House. I have signed off on this work as it falls within the "exempt from HPC review" parameters of the ordinance/code. The property has been determined eligible for listing on the National Register, sits in the heart of the Aspen Main Street Historic District, and will be converted from "single family" to office use. The carriage house is also a significant element in this project, which has not yet been thoroughly discussed between myself, the architect and owner. I have discussed the tax act considerations with the new owner, Mr. Alan Shada (President of the Vista, California Historical Society), and he is interested in pursuing it. I believe this is an excellent project to warrant tax act review and certification. Please contact me as soon as you are able to discuss the pros and cons, what your schedule is for certifying Phase One, and on and on! I would like to get back with Mr. Shada and Welton Anderson, the Architect, as soon as possible, with information and a probable time line. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Have a nice Thanksgiving! Sincerely, Roxanne Eflin Historic Preservation Planner enclosure CC: Mr. Alan Shada, P. O. Box 2615, Vista, CA 92084 C. Welton Anderson, Architect ..
