Dear Joe,
I have reviewed your letter dated April 3 (which we received on
April 10!) with respect to the requested design modifications to
the Ritz Carlton loading 'dock. I am pleased that you have been
able to clear up my confusion on this matter. As has been the
case with several of the requested changes, the drawings and the
narrative appeared to be at odds with each other, preventing my
clear understanding of what changes are being proposed.
With the corrections as shown on the drawing attached to your
letter of April 3, I am hereby able to reverse my earlier
decision of March 30, by approving the requested modification of
the loading dock. This approval is subject to the same
requirement as previously, that a replacement drawing
illustrating the approved change be submitted for recordation
prior to the issuance of any permits beyond the foundation permit
which has already been issued for the project.
Please let me know if I can otherwise be of assistance.
Sincerely,
Alan Richman, AICP

Dear Alan:
April 3, 1989
Planning Office
I have received your letter of March 30, regarding approval of
some of those items for which we requested approval as
insubstantial amendments in our March 27 letter. We are
exploring alternative solutions for some of the items which you
could not approve at this time.
In reviewing your letter, I had a question regarding Item 3 of
your letter, which is in regard to the loading dock and bridge.
Your letter seems to suggest that there is an interrelationship
between the two elements and that apparently, because of the
changes shown for the bridge on the March 27 changes we
submitted, you are now unable to approve the six foot extension
for the loading dock. You acknowledge in your letter that you
had verbally given us approval on the extension for the loading
dock some time ago, based on the drawings submitted to your
office on 3/1/89.
The detailing of the loading dock is unchanged from that shown on
the March 1 set. I am enclosing a drawing which illustrates the
loading dock revision in relation to the bridge as recorded.
Further, the proposed extension of the loading dock does not
affect pedestrian movement and. cannot affect the geometry of
turning movements for trucks for a couple of reasons. First, the
loading dock door will be opened to accommodate a truck preparing
to unload. Therefore, the location of the door within the drive
is irrelevant to the turning movement. Secondly, the curb line,
which will dictate the turning radius for trucks, was made
more generous than that shown on the recorded plat to facilitate
truck arrival and departure.
The bridge changes are recent corrections and I am trying to
understand the evolution of that situation at this time. The
bridge is not as critical an element as the loading dock, which
608 east hyman avenue o aspen, colorado 81611 o telephone: 303 925 -6866
Mr. Alan Richman
April 3, 1989
Page Two
has already been detailed with the change, based on your earlier
verbal okay. (I'm sure you recall that we mentioned that the
location of the north wall of the loading dock was affecting a
lot of other decisions, and was therefore the most critical
element on the March 1st list.)
If it's a question of the changed detailing of the windows along
Monarch Street, I'm sure that we can resolve that, but to revise
all of the drawings to the original location of the north wall of
the loading dock is a very expensive proposition at this point,
both in terms of the labor involved in redrawing everything as
well as lost time in filing drawings for the next permit.
We therefore hope that you can see the distinction between the
changes to the bridge which have been presented for the first
time in the March 27 drawings and those to the loading dock,
which remain as shown on the March 1 submittal.
Let me know at 925 -8080 if you need additional information.

Following is my response to the modified application you have
submitted, requesting insubstantial amendments to the 'Ritz -
Carlton PUD development order. I have performed a detailed
review, pursuant to Sec. 7 -907 A of the Aspen Land Use
Regulations, of the 21 items identified in your letter dated
March 271 1989. I hereby approve item # 1, dormer heights, #3,
leader boxes, #5, Monarch Street elevation, #9, circular vents,
#10, concrete balustrade, #13, Apres Ski Lounge roof design, and
#15, elimination of Blue Spruce elevator tower. These approvals
are subject to submission of replacement drawings, which must be
recorded prior to the issuance of any building permits. All
other requests are hereby denied for the following reasons.
1. Item #2, window sizes, affects the representations made
about the overall look of the facade. The windows are much
.more prominent than previously. The requirement of the
Building Code should have been anticipated during the review
process. Please contact the Building Department to identify
other solutions or submit as a formal PUD amendment.
2. Item #3, added dormers, #11, facade extension, #12, arched
double bay dormer, and #14, Blue Spruce stair, all affect
the representations made about stepping the building down to
the ground. The look of the building is significantly
changed, and, in my opinion, is not as effective as the
prior design in reducing: perceived bulk. Please consider
other methods of meeting the building's requirements and
submit the resulting proposal as a formal PUD amendment.
3. Item #6, loading dock' and #7, vertical bridge support, are
acceptable in concept, and I had given you a verbal
indication the loading dock change would be approved.
However, the new elevations you have submitted are quite
different than those submitted in the original package
received on March 1. Because of the substantial change in
the design and location of the bridge supports and the
Monarch /Dean corner of the hotel, please submit these
r `*
changes, along with documentation that the pedestrian
movements and truck turning radii are not affected, for
review as a formal PUD amendment.
4. Item #8, elevator penthouses and #8A, stair towers are not
eligible for staff approval, because they exceed the maximum
height limit of the zone district. The variations granted
to the project were specific to the approved design.
Further variations will require City Council approval.
5. Items #16 through #20, landscaping amendments, do not
provide the necessary detail or justification for approval.
Item #16, courtyard landscaping, results in 8 less trees
being provided, without compensation. Item #17, southwest
garden area, suggests that there are more trees, but appears
to show fewer trees and more shrubs. Item #18, pedestrian
entries, replaces trees with shrubs because of circulation
problems. However, no documentation of a problem is
provided for this reduction. Item #19, Apres Ski Lounge
layout, results in the loss of trees. Item #20, paving
pattern modifications, is not well documented or detailed.
It is possible that some of these proposals are not as
severe as I have described them herein, but the lack of a
key on the drawing and the lack of supporting information
leads me to reject the requests. These proposals should be
submitted for formal PUD amendment, which supporting
documentation.
Once you have had a chance to discuss these decisions with your
client, I would be happy to meet with you to explain my reasoning
or to discuss the options which are available. Please feel free
to contact me.

Re: Insubstantial Amendments to the Ritz - Carlton
PUD Development Order
Dear Alan:
My letter is to modify my letter of February 28, 1989 regarding
our Insubstantial Amendment request for the Ritz - Carlton to
include some additional items as we disussed. These have been
incorporated into this new memo by adding new Items 4, 5, 7 and
20 and renumbering the old items accordingly. Language has also
been added to Items 6 and 13 as renumbered. I am also
incorporating some new drawings as well as some revised sheets
into the set submitted on February 28 to reflect these changes.
We believe that these changes fall within the standards of
Section 7- 9O7(a), Insubstantial Amendment of PUD Development
Order, which limits such changes to technical or engineering
considerations which were not' anticipated during the approval
process.
The measurements which are given in this memo have been arrived
at by scaling the distance between various points on the building
and the top floor elevations as stated on the revised elevation
drawings, to establish a spot elevation at that point on the
building. These are then compared to similar measurements made
from the recorded drawings. It is important to note, however,
that the target elevations shown on the recorded drawings govern;
scaling drawings is generally not a good idea and that is
certainly the case with this project, as well.
As you know, work on the foundations for the building is well
underway. While all of the items listed are important, we would
like to make a final decision on the loading dock (item #6) as
quickly as possible, since it is affecting progress on the
construction documents.

Q
In any case, the owners are not presently contemplating going
back to City Council for review of any of these changes because
o;f the construction delays that such an approach would cause.
They are requesting that you consider each of the items
individually and determine whether any of them fail to meet the
standards for your signoff.
The following outlines the revisions included on the drawings:
1. Typical dormer heights on the upper level of the Main
Building and South Wing have been raised by between l' -0" and
V-8" from the top floor slab to maintain the minimum ceiling
height of 7'6" for habitable space required under the building
code. [Section 1207(a)]. At the Blue Spruce Building, the
necessary increase is 1' -8 ".
2. Typical window sizes for the rooms have been increased
throughout to meet the building code exit requirements (Section
1'204) as well as the requirement for glass areas of a minimum of
10% of room floor area (Section 1205). The relationship of
window to brick per room module was approximately 26% on the
recorded drawings; that relationship is now about 33%.
3. Dormers have been added to the 4th floor at each end of
the Dean Avenue facade and at the north end of the Monarch Street
facade to meet the glass requirement and minimum ceiling height
for these rooms. A dormer has also been added to the east of the
Dean Street /Mill Street corner tower to maintain minimum ceiling
height. The floor plans on the plat drawings clearly anticipated
that these corners of the building would be useable floor space
(see Sheet A6).
4. The inlets to the leader boxes (which enclose the
gutters) have been enlarged at the request of the snow
consultants to increase the surface area and capacity for roof
runoff. These are typically located between all of the
dormers.
5. The plans and the west elevation of the Monarch Street
wing have been revised to reflect the changes presented to the
Planning and Zoning Commission. Following the redesign of this
wing, which resulted in the elmination of the notch in the
exterior facade and the shortening of the overall length of the
wing, the plans were not modified properly prior to recording of
the amendments to reflect steps in the facade as approved.
L7
Mr. Alan Richman
March 27, 1989
Page Three
The steps in the Monarch Street facade have now been correctly
added to the plans and the northern double- arched dormer has been
moved one bay further to the north to reflect this change.
6. The loading dock has been extended toward Dean by 6
feet so that the door to the loading dock can be kept closed when
small trucks are in the loading dock. This also allows the use
of a larger trash compactor so that we can be sure to avoid
problems with trash service similar to those occuring elsewhere
in town.
This is, of course, the main entry to the hotel and
once it was determined that the shift in this area did not affect
pedestrian movement or the turning radii for trucks as previously
agreed, it was viewed as a positive change for all concerned,
including neighbors of the project. There is now only one door
on the loading dock and the windows along the Monarch Street side
of the loading dock have been rearranged.
The detailing over the windows along Monarch Street
(Sheet A -12) at the loading dock has been changed to an arched
shape to reflect the detailing elsewhere in the building at this
level.
7. The vertical bridge support on the south side of Dean
Street has been shifted approximately five feet to the south from
that shown on the First Amended Plat Drawings to provide for
greater clearance for vehicles passing under the bridge between
the Main Building and the Blue Spruce Building.
8. The two elevator penthouses have been increased in
height and width to meet code requirements and to provide for
machinery requirements. The elevation of the elevator tower
facade in the northwest corner of the Main Building is now 103.92
feet, compared to 101.33 as shown on the plat. The width of the
tower is now 31 feet along Dean (unchanged from the plat) and 30
feet along Monarch (the elevator tower was not shown on the
Monarch Street Elevation on the plat).
The elevation of the tower facade in the south wing
along Mill Street is now 112.58 feet. The tower on the plat was
at 107.83 feet. The width along Mill Street is now 24 feet,
compared to 15 feet previously. The last - minute change during
the review process to eliminate rooms and create a separate south
wing caused the addition of this elevator core. In the intensive
effort to produce drawings for recordation, there was inadequate
time to properly study the design of this added feature.

8a. In three locations, stair towers and the adjacent
section of the facade between dormers have been extended to allow
access to the roof to meet the Building Department's requirements
(Section 3306 m,o) -- along Mill Street at the Main Building, the
tower is about 1' -8" higher and at the north end of the south
wing, the tower is about 5' -6 "higher; at the south end of the
Monarch Street elevation, the tower is about 6 feet higher. We
had previously anticipated that this requirement could be met
with a trap door and ladder as approved elsewhere in town. The
windows in the stair towers have also been reduced in size by the
Structural Engineer because of shear requirements; the stair
stringers also would have been visible with the previous stair
tower window layout.
9. Circular vents have been added to each dormer as the
only means to get air into the cold roof area, since there are no
roof overhangs in the design.
10. The concrete balustrade has been eliminated at the
lower level of rooms along Dean Street of the Main Building and
on the Durant and Dean Street facades of the Blue Spruce Building
so that the railing detail is the same as the other rooms without
balconies. The balustrade is retained where balconies do occur.
11. In two locations, the facade has been extended approxi-
mately 6 feet in order to maintain the required minimum ceiling
height of 7' -6" -- above the Dean street bridge and at the South
Wing of the Mill Street facade. These areas are of limited width
between two dormers in both cases. Again, use of these areas was
anticipated on the floor plans (Sheets A6 and A8.
12. The arched double bay dormer which occurs twice on each
of the three exterior facades has been increased in width to
maintain minimum ceiling heights and to resolve problems in
detailing the leader boxes (gutter enclosures).
13. The roof design of the Apres -Ski Lounge has been modi-
fied so that it is now approximately five feet lower. A chimney
has been added for a gas log fireplace in the Apres -Ski Lounge.
Height is as required by Code.
14. On the east facade of the Blue Spruce Building, a
dormer has been added at the second floor to accommodate the
stair.
� 11
Mr. Alan Richman

15. The elevator tower at the Blue Spruce Building has been
eliminated because of a change to hydraulic elevators in the
building. Use of these much slower elevators is possible only at
the Blue Spruce because they only service two levels above the
ground floor.
Landscaping Changes:
Upon approval of these proposed amendments, the drawing which has
been submitted to reflect changes to the landscaping will be
spliced into Sheet L -3 of the First Amended Plat and the other
Landscape drawings will be modified to reflect these changes.
16. In the courtyard, a number of changes have been made to
respond to structural limitations and the code design standards
which have been established for that area by the building
department. These include a reduction in the number of trees in
the lower terrace area, a redesign of the grand staircase from
the lower to the upper terrace, and a design change in the pool
area.
17. The southwest garden area has been expanded and the
quantity of trees increased to blend with the surrounding
landscape. The stairway into this area from Monarch Street has
been shifted downhill to the north to reduce the number of
stairs.
18. At the pedestrian entry and porte cochere at the north
side of the main building, the number of trees has been reduced
to ease pedestrian and vehicular circulation. The number of
planting beds has been increased to compensate for the loss of
trees in the area.
19. In the area of the Apres Ski Lounge, changes in the
layout of the stair and the gardens have been made for ease of
access into the building.
20. The paving pattern is proposed to be modified in
several areas as indicated.by the shaded areas to the north and
east of the Main Building and around the Blue Spruce Building.
It should be noted that although plant materials are being
reduced in some areas of the plan, the total count of plant
materials throughout the site will at least equal that shown on
the amended plat.

16. At the pedestrian entry and porte cochere at the north
side of the main building, the number of trees has been reduced
to ease pedestrian and vehicular circulation. The number of
planting beds has been increased to compensate for the loss of
trees in the area.
17. In the area of the Apres Ski Lounge, changes in the
layout of "the stair and the gardens have been made for ease of
access into the building.

It should be noted that although plant materials are being
reduced in some areas of the plan, the total count of plant
materials throughout the site will at least equal that shown on
the amended plat.
It is important to recall that the topography as shown on Sheet 4
of the First Amended Plat has been established as the basis for
any necessary Code - related measurements which are to be made.
Actual elevations taken in the field along the property line are
generally higher, however, and this has affected to some degree
the relationship of some building elements to the street. A good
example of this is the Monarch Street pedestrian access into the
southwest garden and Courtyard.
Please let me know at 925 -8080 if you need additional information
regarding any of these changes.
