Gentlemen:
ODDES TO COMPLY WITH
Colorado Energy Conservation Standard Senate Bill 432
1975 (NEC) National Electrical Code
1973 (UBC) Uniform Building Code
1973 (UFC) Uniform Fire Code
The following major electrical discrepancies observed on the above project should be
corrected imrediately.
A. MAIN DISTR-LBUPIUN
l.. Fire has been present in the existing current transformer cabinet. A two inch
opening has burned through the side of the current transformer cabinet. Also
the feeder conductors adjacent were damaged.
a. The splices for the feeder conductors in the CT cabinet were inadequately
applied.
b. The CT cabinet is undersized for the size and quantity of service entrance
conductors.
c. The existing Cr cabinet has numerous openings that need to be closed.
d. Verify with Utility Company that current transformer donuts are of proper
size for service conductors, they appear undersized.
2. Service Entrance Conductors
a. Service conductors are undersized for the building overcurrent protection.
There are two service laterals each lateral contains six 400 MCM TM aluminum
in four inch conduits. Per NEC 310 -15 note 8 and 310 -4, conductors shall be
derated: 400 NjI THW has capacity of 270 amps. x 2 (number of services runs)
= 540 amps. x 80% (duration per NEC 310 -15 note8) = 432 amps. The existing
overcurrent protection is 600 amps.
3. Distribution Equ parent
a. 200 anp three ;role service disconnect serves two single phase load centers.
Separate 2 pole 3-wire disconnects shall be installed to replace the single

3 phase disconnect. Each 2 pole 3-wire disconnect shall serve the individual
load centers.
b. Feeder conductors from same 200 amp 3 -pole disconnect to adjacent load center
are undersized. Overcurrent protection is 150 amps. Conductors are #1
aluminum (100 amp.).
c. The above mentioned load center is also undersized. The main lugs are 100 amps.
The overcurrent protection is 150 amps. Reference NEC 240 -3 and 384 -13.
4. Furnish Fault Current Calculations For Main Distribution System
Values shall be provided for each piece of electrical distribution equipment.
All existing and new devices installed shall have an interrupting capacity
sufficient for voltage employed and current to be interrupted per NEC 110 -9 and
110 -10. The fault current calculations shall be accomplished and stamped by a
Registered Colorado Engineer.
5. Service Entrance Conductors shall be of sufficient capacity to carry the loads
as computed per Article 220 of NEC. The size of these conductors shall be deter-
mined and stamped by a Registered Colorado Engineer. Reference NEC 230 -41.
6. Service Entrance Conductors, For Restaurant
Feeder conductors on line side of service disconnect have chafed against enclosure,
protection shall be provided to eliminate further chafing. These conductors are
on the line side of this disconnect where there is no overcurrent protection.
Verify the insulation is not damaged; if so, replace each corresponding conductor.
7. Verify or install service ground rod and grounding conductor per NEC.
8. Existing Hotel Wing's Load Panel On The 2ND Level
a. The branch circuit load on each branch circuit shall not exceed 80% of the
branch circuit rating. Load each branch circuit to its maxim= and verify
the load is within the above statement. If not, provide corrective action.
Repeat above fot main feeder.
b. Remove storage equipment in front of load center so that panel is readily
accessible per NEC 110 -16.
c. Install load center cover and door.
The following electrical discrepancies were also noted on the above subject during the
observation.
A. MAIN DISTRIBUTION
1. Main distribution disconnect switches have loose doors. Hinge screws on doors
are missing.
2. Disconnect switch doors shall not be able to be opened when the switches are
energized.
3. 200 amp 3 -pole disconnect at main has 1 feeder conductor crimped against
the door mechanism and is chafing conductor.
4. Emergency disconnect conduit in electrical room is broken, exposing the conductors.
5. Main disconnect for restaurant: The service grounding conductor from this panel
is aluminum. Aluminum is not recomm for grounding conductors.
6. Main distribution 600 amp 3 pole: unable to open door because of inadequate working
space in front. Correct to comply with NEC 110 -16.
7. Nonmetallic (PVC) conduit is used above grade for main'service conductors. Only
PVC conduit with UL label, on each conduit, indicating "above grade use "is acceptable
per NEC 347.

raceway. The emergency circuit wiring shall be kept entirely independent of all
other conductors per NEC 760 -28.
4. Load center in main electrical room: Load each branch circuit to its maximum
and verify the load is 80% of branch device. If not, provide protective action.
Repeat for the feeders.
C. NEW HOTEL BUILDING WING
1. Subdistribution panel in basemrent: Aluminum feeder terminations are not oxidized.
2. Feeders from subdistribution panel in basement to adjacent panelboard: The conduit
is undersized for the quantity and size of conductors.
3. Subdistribution panel to sauna: Feeder conductors are undersized #2 alivainum is
.rated for 90 asps. Overcurrent protection is 100 amps.
4. Panelboard adjacent to distribution switchboard in basement: Panelboard appears
excessively loaded in that 42 circuits are supplied by 100 anp overcurrent protect-
ion. Load each branch circuit and feeders to its maxim n and verify the load is
less than 80% of.branch device.; If not, provide corrective action.
5. Rigid Nonmetallic Conduit Used Above Grade:
a. PVC conduit, large sizes were noted installed, is used in exposed areas in the
basement storage room and appears to be used above ceiling in the new wing.
PVC conduit is approved for use above grade: however all PVC conduits are not
suitable for use above ground The UL label on each conduit length will indicate
if the conduit is " suitable for use above grade ", each section should be checked
to assure that this is the proper kind of conduit.
b. Conduit shall not be used in hollow spaces in buildings of fire - resistant
construction PVC conduits are combustible and add products of conbustion
and fuel contribution in the event of fire. Reference Section 300 -21 and 22
of NEC.
C. PVC conduit shall not be used where subject to ambient temperatures exceeding
those for which conduit-is approved. Large PVC conduit exist directly over the
boiler this is not permitted per NEC 347 -3.

Re: Woodstone Inn
Dear Herb:
This is our follow -up and in depth analysis for our Field Inspection of
the Woodstone Inn in Aspen.
I will comment numerically corresponding to items listed in our Field
Report of December 18, 1980.
Basement Parking Garage.
Two (2) exits provided. Conform to required separation. North
exit is directed to the exterior by means of a stairwell. This
door opens over a landing and does not conform to the requirement
of Section 3303 (h).
Sump hole in center of landing is not provided with a cover.
This is a very dangerous situation.
2. Approximately 4 -inch diameter holes appear to have been jack
hammered through inverted "tee" beam. Structural Engineer shall
provide verification of integrity of this beam.
3. Sump is located in North East corner of Parking Garage, South of
ramp access to basement. Is discharged through plastic pipe.
Violation of Sec. 401 (a) 2, 1979 Uniform Plumbing Code.
4. Cast drainage system ( I suspect roof drains) are discharged directly
to floor slab in basement. This drainage system is concealed within
the construction of the building and does not conform with Sec. 3207.
5. Mechanical Duct penetration of required 3 -hour occupancy separation
occurs at south east corner of Parking Garage. This duct is not
enclosed as required by Sec. 503 (c) 2.

6. Door installed in required 3 -hour occupancy separation at
south west corner of Parking Garage. Hole appears to be cut by
jack hammer. Question arises as to structural integrity of wall.
Reinforcing steel has been exposed. Approximately one and one -half
inches of concrete cover.
7. Label on twin tee is marked as follows:
Stress Con Corp.
P.O. Box 3357
Colorado Springs, Colorado
Underwriters Lab Inc.
Listing pre -cast concrete unit over 50 sq.ft.
Issue Number 524
Fire Resistive Classification
Design Numbers
1-942 P 909 P 910 P 911
See UL Fire Resistive Index.
Plan indicates 2 -inch flange on twin tees with 3 -inch of
lightweight concrete topping " PCI Design for fire resistance of
precast prestressed concrete ".published by Prestressed Concrete
Institute, indicates by Figure 7.3(a) that this assembly provides
an approximate fire resistive rating of 2.5 hours. This being
insufficient in providing the required 3 - hour fire resistive occupancy
separation.
Table 43 -A Item 34, requires a minimum cover of 2- inches of
Grade A Concrete. General Note 8 on Sheet S -4 or original drawings
specify:
" Prestressed and precast concrete members, topping and cover shall
provide 3-hour minimum fire resistive separation between basement
and ground floor. Include 2 -1/2 inch minimum concrete protection
around strands & reinforcement and 5 -3/4" minimum topping or 3"
minimum topping with 3/4" monocote sprayed on under side surfaces.
Furnish certified test results w/ underwriters laboratories approval
of 3 -hour system. "
Investigation of UL Design numbers on label indicate J -942 is
the only floor system and its test has been listed for a 2 -hour system
only.
Monokote spray system has not been provided. ICBO Research Report
No. 1578 indicates Monokote is an acceptable fire resistive material
when applied to steel framing ( Copy attached.)
A spray system on twin tees is certainly an acceptable means of providing
a 3 -hour fire resistive assembly. However, I would recommend thorough
research as to what product is used and conformance to ICBO
Research Report for that specific product.
Mr. Herb Paddock

8. Plans indicate trench drain in center of Parking Garage. Floor
drains have been installed. Building drain is suspended from ceiling.
Plans do not show provision for handling this water. See #4 above.
Sec. 1102 (b). Provisions do not appear to have been met.
9. Door through required 3-hour fire resistive occupancy separation at
south center of Parking Garage ( F -1 Occupancy) does not have
label. Frame is labeled but label is illegible. Sec. 4306 (c).
Cast in place wall in which this door is located has been "jack -
hammered" in order to allow penetration of electrical and mechanical
conduits. Electric conduit is non- metalic. Sec. 503 (c) 2 states:
"The total width of all openings in any three hour fire resistive
occupancy separation wall in any one story shall not exceed 25%
of the length of the wall in that story"
Under Sec. 4304 (e) penetrations are permitted ; however, they
shall be as specified by this Section.
10. Remodeling additional construction occurs south of F -1 Occupancy
(combustible) Section 1102 allows Group F -1 in conjunction with F -2
of H Occupancies to be considered a separate and distinct building
providing certain conditions are met.
Determination of Occupancy for restaurant addition.
Approximately net 31 sq.ft.- 15 = 212 occ.
Occupancy classification therefore is B -3. Provision of Sec. 1102
does not apply and building shall be considered as one
with required occupancy separation of 3-hour fire resistive construction.
Analysis for Minimum Type of construction Note on Sheet A -1
Anchorage Restaurant indicates Type IV H.T. Construction.
(1976 UBC). Also provides for 2 -hour area separation walls.
Sec. 505 (d) 1, requires that area separation wall must be a minimum
4 -hour fire resistive construction for Type IV Buildings. Sec. 103
requires application of the most restrictive requirements. By
application of the above mentioned code sections, this building is one
building with no area separation walls.
Check ratio of mixed occupancy. Sec. 503 .
Yard separation on 2 sides - 50% max. allowable increase.

Area separation walls meeting all requirements of Sec. 503 are required
in order for this building to be constructed of any other type of construc-
tion than Type II or Type I.
11. Corridor on East side of required 3 -hour occupancy separation has
combustible construction in furred ceiling. ( See No, 10 above.)
Ceiling height is in conflict with Sec. 3304.
12. Elevator equipment is located in an enclosed space under stairs in the
south exit enclosure. Sec. 3308.requires "there shall be no enclosed
usable space under stairs in an exit enclosure ", nor shall the open
space under such stairways be used for any purpose.
13• Openings into exit enclosure on basement level are labeled, however,
these labels are illegible. This enclosure also forms a portion of the
required 3 -hour occupancy separation and the north door into this exit
enclosure is required to be a minimum 3-hour fire resistive assembly.
Mr. Herb Paddock
December 31, 1980
Page - 5 -
14. Door providing access to mechanical equipment room from corridor•
adjacent to exit enclosure was propped open. Sec. 1108 requires that
Mechanical Equipment Rooms be separated from the remainder of the
building by a minimum one hour fire resistive occupancy separation.
Openings are required to be protected by assemblies of one hour fire
resistive ratings. Door did not have required label. Frame is
labeled however this label is illegible. Unable to determine the
BTU Ratings of the gas fired equipment located in this room.
15. Exposed steel columns occur within this corridor. ( See N 10 above -
Table 17A.) Walls in this corridor are covered with exposed lap wood
siding. Table 43 -B requires that finish material be a minimum of
Class II flame spread rating when applied to other than vertical
exitways.
Cedar has a flame spread classification of 70 or Class B. Therefore,
per Table 42 -B this is an acceptable wall finish in horizontal exit ways.
Door providing access to the sauna and is not a labeled
assembly. ( Sec. 3304 (h).
There occurs a penetration of the corridor wall approximately 3.5'
West of the restroom door on the south wall of this corridor.
As this corridor is in all probability serving an Occupant Load of
30 or more, the requirements outlined in Sec. 3304 (g)(h) should
apply. As the plans available to me at this time do not indicate the
existence of this portion of the subject building, further investigation
is necessary to confirm the requirement.
16. Stairway occurs at East end of corridor mentioned above. Access to this
stair is not lighted. A conflict arises as to the installation of
this stair i.e. is it required. Sec. 3302 (a) 2. Sec. 3304 (f)
states that dead end corridors cannot exceed 20 feet in length. As
corridor providing access to this stair exceeds 20 feet, this stair is
a required exit. Wall finish shall conform to Table 43 -B i.e.
Class I flame spread. Cedar siding does not provide this required
flame spread rating.
17. Ground floor lobby. Mechanical duct penetration occurs
north of the center of the East wall of this lobby. Duct penetrates
floor below and ceiling above. This is in direct conflict with
Sec. 1706, Table 17 -A. It is possible that this duct is involved with
remodeling of the Lobby, Restaurant Addition and is intended to be
enclosed as required.
Mr. Herb Paddock
December 31, 1980

18. Ground floor Corridor. Telephone equipment panel located behind
plywood doors penetrating required one hour fire resistive construction
of corridor walls. Integrity of fire resistive wall has been violated.
It does not appear that fire and draft stops have been provided as
required by Sec. 2517 (f).
b) Carpet has been applied to corridor walls and ceilings.
Table 42 -B requires horizontal exit ways to be finished with a
minimum Class II material. Flame spread 75 or less.
c) Ceiling height in corridor measures 6 -feet - 9i- inches by wood
frame projections from the ceiling. Seca 3304 (c) requires a clear
height of 7 -feet measured at the lowest projection.
19. North Exit Enclosure - Ground Floor
a) Door to exterior opens over a landing. Landing length is
approximately 3' -6" in length. Sec. 3303 (h) requires landing
length to be a minimum of 5 - feet.
b) Along exitway, a step up of approximately 6- inches occurs.
Although this occurs outside of building, Sec. 3301 (k) requires
changes in elevation within a building of less than 12- inches
to be by ramps.
c) Stair width measures 384- inches. By actual head count ( i.e.
18 rooms with a minimum of 2 double beds each = 72 occupants.
The occupant load per floor is greater than 50.
Sec. 3305 {b) requires stairs to be a minimum of 44- inches.
Sec. 3301 (d) states in part:
The occupant load p ermitte d_ in any building or portion thereof
shall be determined by dividing the floor area assigned to that
use by the square foot per occupant as set forth in Table 33 - A.
Gross area /Floor 6240 200 = 31.2 occ /floor. Application of
Sec. 3301 (a) shows Occ. Load as:
lst Floor 31.2
2nd Floor: 31.2 2 = 15.6
3rd Floor 31.2 4 = 7.8
Total Occ. Load Exiting 57+-6'
from ground floor.
This would indicate then that stair width is adequate,
however, this will also limit the number of people per floor
to a maximum of 33. i.e.
2nd Floor Occ, = 33 max.
3rd Floor (33) 50% = 16.5
9T 5 Occ. < 50 36" stair width O.K.

19. (Continued )
Sec. 3301 (d) Exception 2 states:
"The occupant load permitted in a building or portion thereof
may be increased above that specified in this Section if the
necessary exits are provided. An approved aisle or seating diagram
may be required by the Building Official to substantiate an increase
in the occupant load."
Summary: Two choices are available in this situation:
1.) No more than 33 occupants per floor ( difficult to enforce).
2.) Increase stair width to accommodate probable occupant Load
of 72 per floor.
c. Head Room measures 6 -feet 2- inches . Sec. 3305 (o) requires 6ft. -6in
d. One handrail provided ( See b above) Sec. 3305 (i) requires hand rail
on both sides of stair.
20. South exit enclosure
a. Same conditions outlined in Number 19 above.
b. Exit enclosure is not provided with one hour corridor on the
ground floor as required by Sec. 3308 (d) i.e. no openings other
than exit doors. Sec. 3308 (c).
21. Guest Rooms
a. All rooms have been provided with an additional bar type sink. DWV
is provided exposes in alternating rooms. This is not a code problem.
b. Carpet applied as wall covering. Table 42 -B. requires this finish to
have a Class III Flame Spread.
c. Building is approved for Type V - 1 Hr. construction. Rough sawn
beams are used in construction. Recent questions have been addressed
as to the equivalency of H.T. substitution for one hour fire resistive
construction. At the 58th Annual Conference of the International
Conference of Building Officials held in Albuquerque, a proposed change
to the UBC allowing this equivalency was overwhelmingly disapproved.

d. These flues terminated within the building. There was no
indication within the rooms that these fireplaces were not usable.
e. Hearths were of insufficient size to comply with Sec. 3707 (k) (1).
Combustible projections do not comply with Sec. 3707 (h).
22. Maid Closet - Ground Floor.
Integrity of one hour corridor violated. Door providing access
had been field cut and label reapplied.
2 3. Corridors on all floors did not provide clear direction to South exits
by required signs. Sec. 3312 (b).
24. Structural beam failure in Room 318. Structural analysis indicates
replacement/ repair is required.
25. Balconies have been provided with guard rails measuring approximately
37- inches. The 1973 UBC Sec. 1716 required guard rails of 42 -inch
minimum height.
26. Roof.
a. Roof hatch access measures 22" x 38 ". This is not required in a
3 -story building. ( South exit enclosure Sec. 3305 (1).
b. Roof drains have been provided. However, they are required as
parapet has been installed on exterior walls. Sec. 3207 requires that
overflow drains or scupper also be provided. Roof has been designed to
support a 50 PSF Live Load.
Parapet measures approximately 18- inches or a potential of 94 PSF
Live Load should roof drains become inoperable.
c. Plumbing vent terminations do not conform with Sec. 506 of the
1976 Uniform Plumbing Code which states:
"(I) Each vent pipe shall extend through its flashing and shall
terminate vertically not less than (6) six inches above the
roof nor less than one foot from any vertical surface.
(II) Each vent shall terminate not less than 10 feet from or at
least 3 feet above any window, door, opening, air intake or

There occurs a cable ( unknown use) extend across the roof of the
3 -story portion of this building. From the 1st utility pole on the
East to the first utility pole on the West. This cable is in direct
contact with the east parapet wall and approximately 4- inches
above the West parapet wall. Concerns of this condition are as follows:
1.) Does utility company have a proper easement across this building ?
2.) Article 820 -11 (c) requires that community antenna television
and rapid distribution systems cable passing over roof be at
least 8 -ft. above the surface.
e. Plan of building shows 2 -hour area separation wall. ( See #10 above).

grade there is no code related problem.
28. Rooms 118, 218, 318 have sleeping rooms without required
ventilation and emergency egress. Sec. 1304 and Sec. 1305.
29. Structural Frame H.T. beams on north side of lobby have been cut in such
a manner that the integrity of the frame has been lost.
Immediate correction action is recommended.
The above comments apply to Field Report dated Dec. 18,1980.
The following comments apply to additional observations not
outlined in the original Field Report.
30. Weld plates provided for twin tee floor ceiling in Parking Garage at
exterior bearing foundation walls have not been welded per plans.

Sec. 1305.
33. East side of East wing measures approximately 8ft. -8in. to next adjacent
building. There is an exterior exit balcony on this wing approximately
13-ft. 8 -in . from adjacent building. As Improvement Survey does not
include balconies and dimensions to property line from balconies, for
the benefit of clarification, application of Sect. 504 (c) will be applied.

Dear Members:
ASPEN i PiTti1"
PLANNING vF i c
This is an application by Mr. Hans Cantrup pursuant to
24 -3.3 of the Aspen City Code for the approval of the modifi-
cation and enlargement of a conditional use. Specifically it
is for the approval of the rebuilding of the Captain's
Anchorage which is a restaurant located in the L2 Zone and
therefore a conditional use.
The Captain's Anchorage has been in existence for several
years. The building is now in a run down state and it is the
intent of the applicant to redesign and rebuild the restaurant
pursuant to the plans attached to this application.
The restaurant presently contains 3000 square feet and
it is simply economically unfeasible to completely rebuild
the restaurant without an addition of square footage. Therefore,
the redesigned restaurant will contain a total of 4500 square
feet.
The applicant submits that the above request meets with
all requirements and therefore respectfully requests your
approval.
Sincerely,
GARF & HECHT

FROM: Sunny Vann, Planning Office
RE: Captain's Anchorage - Conditional Use Expansion
DATE: April 18, 1980
The applicant in question, Mr. Hans Cantrup, wishes to modify and expand
the Captain's Anchorage Restaurant, a conditional use in the L -1 zone.
The modification and /or expansion of a conditional use requires the review
and approval of the Planning and Zoning Commission prior to issuance of
a building permit. The review involves a determination as to:
1. Whether the proposed use otherwise complies with all require-
ment imposed by the Zoning Code.
2. Whether the proposed use is consistent with the objectives and
purposes of the Zoning Code and the applicable zoning district.
3. Whether the proposed use is designed to be compatible with
surrounding land uses and uses in the area.
In addition, Mr. Cantrup entered into an agreement with the City, dated
October 18, 1979, which required him to remodel the Captain's Anchorage
in such a manner as to eliminate a deficiency in open space which presently
exists on the property.
The Planning Office has reviewed Mr. Cantrup's preliminary plans for the
Captain's Anchorage and has determined that the proposed structure is con-
sistent with the objectives of the L -1 zone district and is compatible with
surrounding land uses. In addition, the proposed modification and expansion
appears to comply with all requirements imposed by the Zoning Code and the
agreement between Mr. Cantrup and the City. The Planning Office therefore
recommends approval of this application subject to:
1. The modification and expansion of the structure complying with
all requirements imposed by the Zoning Code.
2. A final determination of compliance with area and bulk requirements
to be made at such time as working drawings are submitted for a
building permit.
3. The modification and expansion of the proposed structure comply-
ing with the stipulations outlined in the agreement between
Mr. Hans Cantrup and the City of Aspen, dated October 18, 1979.
MEMORANDUM

RE: Captain's Anchorage, Conditional Use Expansion, Policy Determination
DATE: December 13, 1979
The modification or expansion of a conditional use requires the review and
approval of the Planning and Zoning Commission prior to issuance of a building
permit. In addition, the modification or expansion must comply with all
requirements imposed by the zoning code or have received a variance from
the Board of Adjustment. The review of a conditional use modification or ex-
pansion by the Planning Office and the Planning and Zoning Commission involves
a determination as to:
Whether the proposed use otherwise complies with all requirements im-
posed by the zoning code.
Whether the proposed use is consistent with the objectives and pur-
poses of the zoning code and the applicable zoning district, and,
Whether the proposed use is designed to be compatible with surroun-
ding land uses and uses in the area. Implicit in the above is the
submission of sufficient information with regard to the proposed modi-
fication -or expansion to allow a determination of compliance, consis-
tency and compatibility.
The applicant in question,11r. Hans Cantrup, wishes to modify and expand the
Captain's Anchorage Restaurant, a conditional use in the L1 Zone. The appli-
cant's proposal, as submitted to the Planning Office, appears to exceed the
zone's allowable external floor area ratio, although sufficient materials
have not been provided to enable a clear determination of the project's com-
pliance with applicable area and bulk requirements. In the opinion of the
Planning Office, an application before the Planning and Zoning Commission for
the modification or expansion of a conditional use must comply with all appli-
cable zoning requirements or have received a variance from the Board of Adjust-
ment. It is the policy of the Planning Office not to forward an application
to the Commission until compliance with the code has been determined or until
such time as the office is notified as to the applicant's receipt of a variance.
The applicant wishes to obtain approval of his conditional use expansion from
the Planning and Zoning Commission prior to seeking a variance from the Board
of Adjustment. In the opinion of the Planning Office, the consideration of
such approval is inconsistent with the intent of the Zoning Code and could
unnecessarily prejudice the decision of the Board of Adjustment. The Planning
Office therefore respectfully requests that the Planning and Zoning Commission
concur with our procedural policy and refer the applicant to the Board of
Adjustment.
