Crested Butte board approves east skylight for historic house at 322 Maroon Avenue
Summary
On April 28, 2026 the Town of Crested Butte Board of Zoning and Architectural Review unanimously approved an east skylight addition for a historic single‑family residence at 322 Maroon Avenue after staff and applicants presented neighborhood photos and staff recommended support.
The Town of Crested Butte Board of Zoning and Architectural Review voted unanimously April 28 to approve an east‑facing skylight addition for the historic residence at 322 Maroon Avenue.
Staff member Earley told the board that applicant Robert Harper and Jim Jose submitted photographic evidence to justify the proposed skylight and that staff supported the addition after review of the February 24, 2026 approval conditions. Earley confirmed that proper public notice had been given.
Applicants Rob Harper and Jim Jose presented photos showing neighborhood context. Board members acknowledged the photos but repeatedly asked that the applicable design guideline language be clarified. Member Spann Labato suggested the guideline language should address the skylight’s dominance on the building elevation.
Nauman, serving as chair, moved to approve the east skylight addition for the property at 322 Maroon Avenue; Davol seconded. The motion passed unanimously. The board’s recorded finding stated the skylight could be supported under guideline 3.34 (skylights for historic buildings).
Following the vote, members requested that staff revise the relevant guideline language to make the standard clearer for future reviews. The approved action allows the applicant to proceed with permitting consistent with the approved plan.
