Another land-use application filed before the May charter amendment election includes a proposal to tear down the building next to the Casa Tua structure in downtown Aspen.
The Historic Preservation Commission is set to review developer Mark Hunt’s application at a meeting scheduled Aug. 12 at City Hall. Hunt has both the Casa Tua building and the building next to it on Cooper Avenue under contract. Guido’s Swiss Inn LLC currently owns the Casa Tua building; Meyer Business Building LLC owns the adjacent salmon-colored structure.
Last week, Hunt said there are no plans to redevelop the Casa Tua building, once the longtime home of Guido’s Swiss Inn.
A city document also says, “The Casa Tua building will remain unchanged, except for minor interior revisions to the circulation core that connects” to the adjacent building.
Hunt’s application to tear down the Casa Tua building’s neighboring structure, located at 447 E. Cooper Ave., calls for 22,000 square feet of commercial space on two floors. The application also says Hunt will pay the city $549,000 in lieu of the off-street parking requirement of 18.3 spaces.
