Crested Butte board approves east skylight at 322 Maroon Avenue
Summary
The Board of Zoning and Architectural Review voted unanimously April 28 to approve a follow-up east skylight addition at 322 Maroon Avenue after staff and applicants submitted photographic context supporting the proposal under historic-building guideline 3.34.
The Town of Crested Butte Board of Zoning and Architectural Review approved a follow-up application April 28 to add an east-facing skylight to a historic single-family residence at 322 Maroon Avenue.
Staff member Earley told the board that applicants Rob Harper and Jim Jose submitted neighborhood photos to justify the east skylight; Earley said staff supports the addition under the board’s historic-skylight guidance (GL 3.34). Board members asked that the guideline language be clarified to better address feature dominance on an elevation.
Board deliberations noted neighborhood examples and the need for clearer guideline wording. Board member Schmidt said the skylight “gave him pause” because of its placement near an intersecting side gable, but agreed that the proposal met the majority of the guideline criteria as read by staff. Several members, including Davol and Spann Labato, expressed support after the evidence was presented.
Chair Nauman moved to approve the east skylight addition based on staff findings; Schmidt seconded. The motion passed unanimously.
The approval applies to the east skylight shown in the February 24, 2026 approved plan for the existing historic single-family residence at 322 Maroon Avenue in the R1C zone. The board also requested updated guideline language to clarify assessment of a feature’s dominance on an elevation.
Nauman recused himself from the next item on the agenda.
