SUMMARY:
The applicant requests a Minor Amendment to Detailed Review
for a Planned Development to revise the Gondola Plaza Master
Sign Plan to replace an existing clock tower with a new clock tower
in the same location, and to install a new identification sign
associated with the Aspen Mountain Club locker room. Staff
recommends approval of the project, subject to the conditions
listed in the draft resolution.

BACKGROUND:
Gondola Plaza is located within the vacated Hunter Street right-of-way and is part of Lots 1 and
2 of the Little Nell Subdivision. The area is zoned Conservation (C) within a Planned
Development overlay (previously referred to as a SPA overlay). Various public amenities and
signs related to retail, recreational and wayfinding exist throughout the plaza. Additionally, a
clock tower is located on the north westerly corner of Lot 1 (Figure 2). The existing clock is
approximately 13.5 ft. in height with a two-sided, 2.5 ft. diameter clock face (Figure 3).
Given the relatively large area of Gondola Plaza and the diverse mix of businesses in the
surrounding vicinity, a Gondola Plaza Master Sign Plan was approved in 2013 to memorialize
and recognize site specific needs for signage. The purpose of the sign plan is to provide a
greater degree of flexibility from the sign code, while also providing reliability as to the types,
locations, and sizes of the signs found in the plaza. The Master Sign Plan is divided into two
main areas; the Lower Gondola Plaza and Upper Gondola Plaza. The plan is further broken up
into 16 site-specific sub-areas. As currently approved, the Lower Plaza has a total sign area
allotment of 136.48 sq. ft. and the Upper Plaza has a total sign area of 330.60 sq. ft. for an
overall approved sign area allotment of 467.08 sq. ft. The existing clock tower was omitted from
the Master Sign Plan, as in its current configuration, it is not perceived to be a sign .
The applicant hopes to replace the existing clock tower with a new clock tower consisting of a
new size, and design. The new clock tower will also contain signage advertising the clock
manufacturer and the Aspen Skiing Company.
Additionally, the applicant proposes to install a wall mounted sign for the recently renovated
Aspen Mountain Club locker room.
REQUEST OF THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION (P&Z)
The Applicant is seeking the following land use approval:
• Minor Amendment to a Detailed Review Approval (Section 26.445.110.e) to replace the
existing clock tower with a new tower that is considered to be signage, and to install a wall
mounted sign for the Aspen Mountain Club. The Planning and Zoning Commission is the
final review authority.

1. Pursuant to Land Use Code Section 26.510.060.d, Sign Area, sign area is the area of the smallest
four-sided geometric figure which encompasses the facing of sign, including copy, insignia,
background and borders.
STAFF COMMENTS:
Pursuant to Land Use Code Section 26.445.110.e, Minor Amendment to a Detailed Review
Approval, Detailed Review is intended to focus on the evaluation of specific aspects of a
development such as utility placement, or architectural details. Replacement of the existing clock
tower and amendments to the Master Sign Plan through the new clock design and the
installation of signage for the Aspen Mountain Club falls under this review.
When considering an amendment to Detailed Review, the proposed development should be
consistent with the Project Review approval, including all dimensions, and uses. Previous
approvals associated with Gondola Plaza and the Planned Development do not depict a clock
tower. It is unclear if a tower was ever approved within the plaza. Despite the lack of clarity from
previous documentation, the clock tower has existed on the plaza for many years. By replacing
the existing clock tower, no changes will occur to the uses of the plaza. The height of the new
tower will be slightly lower than existing, and the orientation will not change.
As depicted in Figure 3, the existing clock tower does not appear to incorporate any branding,
logos, or imaging generally associated with a business or private enterprise. As a result, the
clock tower was never included within the Gondola Plaza Master Sign Plan. The new tower will
include signage. As depicted in Figure 4, subtle lettering associated with a specific brand is
incorporated throughout the tower. Staff supports the installation of a clock tower that
incorporates signage, however, the cumulative amount of signage within the plaza should not
exceed the allotment that was granted in the Gondola Plaza Master Sign Plan. A condition of
approval is included in the Resolution requiring compliance with the signage allotment
prescribed in the 2013 Master Sign Plan. Staff is currently working with the applicant to
determine the sign
area of the clock
tower. The sign area
proposed in the
application will likely
increase significantly
as the application only
calculates the area of
the clock face. It
appears that much of
the area of the tower
will also count as
signage because of
the branding
incorporated
throughout the
structure1. The sign
area will be
determined during
sign permit review. Figure 4: Proposed Clock Tower Design, Dimensions

1. Pursuant to Land Use Code Section 26.510.070.c, Prohibited Illumination, no sign shall be
illuminated through the use of internal illumination except when used for indirect illumination
and in a manner that directs lighting away from the public right-of-way.
In addition to the clock tower, the
applicant is interested in installing a wall
mounted sign for the newly renovated
Aspen Mountain Club locker room. As
depicted in Figure 5, the sign will be 1 ft.
in height and 8.5 inches in width. The sign
will be made of cast bronze and mounted
in the location identified as “S1” in Figures
6 & 7. Staff supports the installation of this
sign with the condition that the signage
allotment from 2013 be maintained.
Detailed Review requires design standards and architectural details to emphasize quality
construction and design characteristics. Additionally, exterior materials should be high quality
and durability. The proposed clock tower will consist of layers of semi-transparent perforated
panels. The exterior panels will be made of brushed aluminum metal and the inner panels will
be made of patterned, semi-transparent acrylic material. The signage associated with the Aspen
Mountain Club will be made of cast bronze. Staff finds that the proposed signage meets this
criterion. Land Use Code Section 26.510.0090.c, Materials, requires signs to be made primarily
of natural materials such as metal, wood, stone or glass. The use of aluminum on the outer -
most layer of the tower and the use of bronze on the Aspen Mountain Club sign meets this
requirement. According to the applicatio n, the proposed tower will be internally illuminated,
creating a soft glow through the inner and exterior panels. Staff supports illumination of the clock
tower; however, only backlit illumination is permitted, unless the applicant can show the
proposed lighting complies with the Land Use Code1. A lighting plan is required upon
submission of a sign permit. A condition of approval is included in the Resolution requiring
compliance with the standards prescribed for sign illumination.

Exhibit A
Minor Amendment to Detailed Review
Section 26.445.070
Staff Findings
Detailed Review shall focus on the comprehensive evaluation of the specific aspects of
the development, including utility placement, and architectural materials. In the review
of a development application for Detailed Review, the Planning and Zoning
Commission, or the Historic Preservation Commission as applicable, shall consider the
following:
a. Compliance with Project Review Approval. The proposed development,
including all dimensions and uses, is consistent with the Project Review approval
and adequately addresses conditions on the approval and direction received
during the Project Review.
Staff Response: Gondola Plaza is subject to the Little Nell Hotel Specially
Planned Area (SPA), now regulated as a Planned Development due to subsequent
land use code amendments, according to Ordinance No. 53 (Series of 1985). Much
of the original documentation appears to omit a clock tower, so it is unclear if the
existing clock tower was previously approved. The Gondola Plaza Master Sign
Plan (Reception No. 599541) also omitted the existing clock tower, likely because
it was not perceived to be a sign that needed to be documented. At this point, it is
unclear if the existing tower was ever memorialized in a previous approval.
However, upon review and approval from the Planning and Zoning Commission,
staff finds that the Gondola Plaza Master Sign Plan may be amended to
accommodate a clock tower. Additionally, staff finds it appropriate for the applicant
to install the bronze sign associated with the Aspen Mountain Club. The total
amount of signage shall not exceed the signage allotted in the 2013 Master Sign
Plan. Staff finds this criterion met.
b. Growth Management. The proposed development has received all required
GMQS allotments or is concurrently seeking allotments.
Staff finds this criterion not applicable.
11
c. Site Planning and Landscape Architecture. The site plan is compatible with
the context and visual character of the area. In meeting this standard, the
following criteria shall be used:
1. The landscape plan exhibits a well -designed treatment of exterior spaces,
preserves existing significant vegetation, and provides an ample quantity
and variety of ornamental plant species suitable for the Aspen area
climate. Vegetation removal, protection, and restoration plans shall be
acceptable to the Director of Parks and Open Space.
2. Buildings and site grading provide si mple, at-grade entrances and
minimize extensive grade changes along building exteriors. The project
meets or exceeds the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act
and applicable requirements for emergency, maintenance, and service
vehicle access. Adequate snow storage is accommodated.
3. Energy efficiency or production features are integrated into the landscape
All site lighting is proposed so as to prevent direct glare or hazardous
interference of any kind to adjoining streets or lands. All exterior lighting
shall comply with the City's outdoor lighting standards.
4. All site lighting is proposed so as to prevent direct glare or hazardous
interference of any kind to adjoining streets or lands. All exterior lighting
shall comply with the City's outdoor l ighting standards.
5. Site drainage is accommodated for the proposed development in
compliance with Title 29—Engineering Design Standards and shall not
negatively impact surrounding properties.
Staff Response: The replacement of the existing clock tower with a new tower will
not impact the landscape architecture. The new tower will comply with the lighting
standards prescribed in the Land Use Code. Staff finds this criterion met.
d. Design Standards and Architecture. The proposed architectural details
emphasize quality construction and design characteristics. In meeting this
standard, the following criteria shall be used:
1. The project architecture provides for visual interest and incorporates
present-day details and use of materials respectful of the community's
past without attempting to mimic history.
2. Exterior materials are of a high quality, durability, and comply with
applicable design standards, including those outlined in Chapter
26.410, Residential Design Standards , Chapter 26.412, Commercial
Design Standards, and Chapter 26.415, Historic Preservation.
3. Building entrances are sited or designed to minimize icing and snow
shedding effects.
4. Energy efficiency or production features are integrated into structures in a
manner that enhances t he architecture.
12
5. All structure lighting is proposed so as to prevent direct glare or hazardous
interference of any kind to adjoining streets or lands. All exterior lighting
shall comply with the City's outdoor lighting standards.
Staff Response: The proposed clock tower will consist of layers of semi-
transparent perforated panels. The exterior panels will be made of brushed
aluminum metal and the inner panels will be made of patterned, semi -transparent
acrylic material. Land Use Code section 26.510.090.c, Materials, requires signs to
be made primarily of natural materials, such as metal, wood, stone or glass. The
use of aluminum on the outer-most layer of the tower meets this requirement.
According to the application, the proposed tower will be internally illuminated,
creating a soft glow through the inner and exterior panels. Staff supports
illumination of the clock tower; however, only backlit illumination is permitted,
unless the applicant can show the proposed lighting complies with the sign code.
A lighting plan is required upon submission of a sign permit. A condition of approval
is included in the Resolution requiring compliance with the standards prescribed
for sign illumination.
Staff finds this criterion met.
e. Common Parks, Open Space, Recreation Areas, or Facilities . If the proposed
development includes common parks, open space, recreation areas, or common
facilities, a proportionate, undivided interest is deeded in perpetuity to each lot or
dwelling unit owner within the Planned Development. An adequate assurance
through a Development Agreement for the permanent care and maintenance of
open spaces, recreation areas, and shared facilities together with a prohibition
against future development is required.
Staff Response: The proposed clock tower will be located within the Little Nell
PD, which is owned and maintained by the Aspen Ski Company. Staff finds this
criterion not applicable.
f. Pedestrian, bicycle & transit facilities. The development improves pedestrian,
bicycle, and transit facilities. These facilities and improvements shall be
prioritized over vehicular facilities and improvements. Any new vehicular access
points minimize impacts on existing pedest rian, bicycle and transit facilities .
Any specific designs, mitigation techniques, and implementation timelines as
required during Project Review comply with the applicable requirements of the
Project Review and as otherwise required in the Land Use Code. These plans
shall provide sufficient detail to determine if the design or mitigation concept
complies with the intent of the requirements and to determine any required cost
estimating for surety requirements, but do not need to be detailed construction
documents.
Staff finds this criterion not applicable.
13
g. Engineering Design Standards. There has been accurate identification of engineering
design and mitigation techniques necessary for development of the proposed
subdivision to comply with the applicable requirements of Municipal Code Title 29—
Engineering Design Standards and the City of Aspen Urban Runoff Management Plan
(URMP).
Any specific designs, mitigation techniques, and implementation timelines as
required during Project Review comply with the applicable requirements of
Municipal Code Title 29—Engineering Design Standards and the City of Aspen
Urban Runoff Management Plan (URMP). These plans shall provide sufficient
detail to determine if the de sign or mitigation concept complies with the intent of
the requirements, but do not need to be detailed construction documents.
Staff finds this criterion not applicable.
h. Public Infrastructure and Facilities. The proposed Planned Development shall
upgrade public infrastructure and facilities necessary to serve the project.
Improvements shall be at the sole costs of the developer.
Any specific designs, mitigation techniques, and implementation timelines as
required during Project Review comply with the appl icable requirements of
Municipal Code Title 29—Engineering Design Standards and the City of Aspen
Urban Runoff Management Plan (URMP). These plans shall provide s ufficient
detail to determine if the design or mitigation concept complies with the intent of
the requirements, but do not need to be detailed construction documents.
Staff finds this criterion not applicable.
i. Phasing of development plan. If phasing of the development plan is proposed,
each phase shall be designed to function as a complete development and shall
not be reliant on subsequent phases. Phasing shall insulate, to the extent
practical, occupants of initial phases from the constructio n of later phases. All
necessary or proportionate improvements to public facilities, payment of impact
fees and fees-in-lieu, construction of any facilities to be used jointly by residents
of the Planned Development, construction of any required affordable housing,
and any mitigation measures shall be completed concurrent or prior to the
respective impacts associated with the phase.
Staff finds this criterion not applicable.

Land Use Review Fee Policy
The City of Aspen has established a review fee policy for the processing of land use applications. A flat fee or deposit is
collected for land use applications based on the type of application submitted.
A flat fee is collected by Community Development for applications which normally take a minimal and predictable amount of
staff time to process. Review fees for other City Departments reviewing the application (referral departments) will also be
collected when necessary. Flat fees are cumulative – meaning an application with multiple flat fees must be pay the sum of
those flat fee. Flat fees are not refundable.
A review fee deposit is collected by Community Development when more extensive staff time is required.
Actual staff time spent will be charged against the deposit. Various City staff may also charge their time spent on the case in
addition to the case planner. Deposit amount may be reduces if, in the opinion of the Community Development Director, the
project is expected to take significantly less time to process than the deposit indicates.
A determination on the deposit amount shall be made during the pre-application conference by the case planner. Hourly
billing shall still apply.
All applications must include an Agreement to Pay Application Fees. One payment including the deposit for Planning and
referral agency fees must be submitted with each land use application, made payable to the City of Aspen. Applications will
not be accepted for processing without the required fee.
The Community Development Department shall keep an accurate record of the actual time required for the processing of a
land use application requiring a deposit. The City can provide a summary report of fees due at the applicant’s request. The
applicant will be billed for the additional costs incurred by the City when the processing of an application by the Community
Development Department takes more time or expense than is covered by the deposit. Any direct costs attributable to a
project review shall be billed to the applicant with no additional administrative charge. In the event the processing of an
application takes less time than provided for by the deposit, the department shall refund the unused portion of the deposited
fee to the applicant. Fees shall be due regardless of whether an applicant receives approval.
Unless otherwise combined by the Director for simplicity of billing, all applications for conceptual, final and recordation of
approval documents shall be handled as individual cases for the purpose of billing. Upon conceptual approval all billing shall be
reconciled and past due invoices shall be paid prior to the Director accepting an application for final review. Final review shall
require a new deposit at the rate in effect at the time of final submission. Upon final approval all billing shall be again reconciled
prior to the Director accepting an application for review of technical documents for recordation.
The Community Development Director may cease processing of a land use application for which an unpaid invoice is 30 or more
days past due. Unpaid invoices of 90 days or more past due may be assessed a late fee of 1.7% per month. An unpaid invoice of
120 days or more may be subject to additional actions as may be assigned by the Municipal Court Judge. All payment information
is public domain.
All invoices shall be paid prior to issuance of a Development Order or recordation of development agreements and plats. The City
will not accept a building permit for a property until all invoices are paid in full. For permits already accepted, and unpaid invoice
of 90 days or more days may result in cessation of building permit processing or issuance of a stop work order until full payment is
made.
The property owner of record is the party responsible for payment of all costs associated with a land use application
for the property. Any secondary agreement between a property owner and an applicant representing the owner (e.g.
a contract purchaser) regarding payment of fees is solely between those private parties.

PRE-APPLICATION CONFERENCE SUMMARY
DATE: December 19, 2019
PLANNER: Kevin Rayes, 970-429-2797
PROJECT NAME AND ADDRESS: Gondola Plaza
REPRESENTATIVE: Gert Van Moorsel, Aspen Skiing Company
DESCRIPTION: The walkway connecting Durant Avenue to Gondola Plaza appears to be within the Little Nell
Hotel Specially Planned Area (SPA), which was approved via Ordinance No. 53 (Series of 1985). The subject
area is identified as “Zone 1” within the Landscape Development plan (Book 19, Page 2). Around 2013 a
master sign plan was created which identifies the locations and dimensions of all signage within the Little Nell
Subdivision (this document was not recorded but is on file with the City).
A clock tower currently exists within “Zone 1” but is not encompassed within the sign plan. The applicant
plans to replace the existing clock with a new tower. While the design is not finalized, it appears the new clock
structure would increase in bulk and mass and add additional signage to the subdivision.
Pursuant to Land Use Code section 26.445.110.E, Minor Amendment to a Detailed Review Approval, the
proposed project does not meet the established thresholds for an insubstantial amendment and should
be reviewed by the Planning and Zoning Commission.
Pursuant to section 26.445.040.B.3, Planned Development Review: Step Three- Detailed Review with P&Z,
the purpose of this review is to refine the project design and operation characteristics, including final
architectural details and materials, landscape details, utility and other infrastructure details. The intent is
to perfect and finalize all detail aspects of the project, but not to reconsider previously resolved issues.
As part of the application, the property boundary of the Little Nell Subdivision will need to be confirmed.
An improvement survey should be submitted with the application showing that the clock tower is within
the subject property.
Lastly, it appears the clocktower may be located within the midground or background of the following
four view planes- Wagner Park, Cooper Avenue, Main Street and the Wheeler. The applicant should
confirm the height of the clock tower and determine if it infringes into a viewplane.

Re: Application for a Planned Development Minor Amendment to a Detailed Review Approval for a new
Gondola Plaza Clock Tower
Written Description of the Proposed Gondola Plaza Clock Tower
Aspen Skiing Company (ASC) owns and operates the property commonly referred to as Gondola Plaza, at 675
and 601 E. Durant Avenue, located on the vacated Hunter Street Right of Way, and is part of Lot 1 of the Little
Nell Subdivision. The area is zoned Conservation with a SPA overlay.
The plaza includes a number of public amenities and various signs for civic, retail, recreational, directional, skier
safety, and informational uses. In additional to these signs, is an existing public clock tower, located on the north
westerly corner of Lot 1, Little Nell subdivision. The clock is approximately 13’ -6” in height with a two-sided, 2’-
6” diameter clock face.
In 2013 an inventory of the plaza existing signs and new proposed signs were documented and approved with a
Gondola Plaza Master Sign Plan pursuant to the City of Aspen Notice of Approval of an Insubstantial SPA
Amendment. The approval considered the unique needs and requirements of the public amenities in the plaza,
as well as Aspen Skiing Company administrative, recreational, other services, and the signage needs for the
associated retail establishments. The approved sign plan intended to provide ASC with a greater degree of
flexibility from the sign code, while also providing reliability as to the types, locations, and sizes of the signs
found in the plaza. However, at that time, the existing clock tower, or “street clock”, was omitted from the Master
Sign Plan. Please refer to attached EXHIBIT A Notice of Approval.
The applicant proposes to replace the existing clock tower with a new clock tower located in the same location
and orientation as the exiting clock. Designed by local architect, CCY Architects, the new clock tower will stand
as anchor to the plaza and will continue to be a public amenity and a legacy to the importance of artistic
expression in our community.
The proposed tower is 13’-0” in height, slightly lower than the existing clock, and is a rectilinear form made up of
layers of semi-transparent perforated panels. The exterior panels being brushed aluminum metal and inner
panels made of patterned, semi-transparent, acrylic material. The tower will be internally illuminated, creating a
soft glow through the inner and exterior panels. The bottom of the clock face is mounted approximately 10’-2”
above grade and is representational of the fine Hublot Swiss watch maker, branded with both the Aspen Skiing
Company name and Hublot name on each face. The clock face is proposed to be 2’-0” in diameter with branded
lettering that will be approximately one and a half inches in height.
The applicant proposes to use the existing clock electrical power supply, and if possible, the existing clock
footing will be reused. No new utilities or relocation of utilities is anticipated.
Please refer to the attached EXHIBIT B; HUBLOT x ASPEN SKI-CO CLOCK TOWER drawings and
construction details.

LUC Section 26.435.050 Mountain View Plane analysis
The applicant, through an existing conditions survey performed by a licensed surveyor, has confirmed that the
proposed clock tower is located within the following four view planes: Wagner Park view plane, Courthouse 1
view plane, Courthouse 2 view plane, and the Main Street view plane. Analysis by this survey indicates that the
existing clock tower, which is six inches higher than the proposed clock tower, present no infringement into any
of these view planes. Please refer to EXHIBIT C Gondola Plaza Clock Tower survey, Survey Note 8.
Our analysis shows that the proposed clock tower is in the background section of all four view planes and that
there is no infringement into any of the affected view planes.
Therefore Section 26.435.050 (c) (1) c applies
This Section shall not limit the ability of development to occur below a view plane. If development on a property
is within the lateral extent of a view plane but does not infringe into the view plane, then that development is not
subject to the requirements of this Section.
Gondola Plaza Master Sign Plan Minor Amendment to a Detailed Review Approval
The applicant is requesting a minor amendment to the Gondola Plaza. Master Sign Plan to include the new
clock tower. The City of Aspen Planning Department staff considers business names on the clock faces to be
advertising and should therefore be counted toward the sign area allotment.
In addition to the Clock Tower, ASC is proposing new identification sign for the renovated Aspen Mountain Club
locker room. The applicant proposes a minor reallocation of the approved overall signage allotment to allow for
these additional signs, and through this amendment, proposes to retain all the approved signage area
allotments, with no increase in the overall sign square foot areas.
Pursuant to Section 26.510.020, The Master Sign Plan is an approved Planned Development (formerly SPA)
document. Therefore Section 26.510.020 exempts the Amended Master Sign Plan from the compliance with the
sign area allotments found in Chapter 26.510 Signs
Sec. 26.510.020. - Applicability and Scope.
(a) Generally. This Chapter applies to all signs within the City, except for signs permitted through
an approved Planned Development.
The current Master Sign Plan was approved under Ordinance 17, Series 2010, which included regulations
allotting sign areas based specific uses and included provisions for prohibited and exempt signs. Since that
time, Chapter 26.510 Signs has been amended at least three different times (Ord. 14 Series 2013, Ord. 36
Series 2013, and most recently Ord. 22, series 2017). Many of sign allotment exemptions and specific
regulations regarding temporary signs have changed or been omitted from the code. With that in mind, the
applicant has included the total sign area allotment as originally approved to be used as the baseline for this
application.
Amended Master Sign Plan
The Master Sign Plan is divided into two main areas; the Lower Gondola Plaza and Upper Gondola Plaza. And
then is further identified by 16 site specific sub-areas. As approved in 2013, the Master Sign Plan also includes
an event tent plan, to which there are no proposed changes. Please refer to EXHIBIT F MASTER SIGN PLAN
As currently approved, the Lower Plaza area has a total sign area allotment of 136.48 SF and Upper Plaza has
a total sign area of 330.60 SF, for an overall approved sign area allotment of 467.08 SF. In particular, it should
be noted that the Upper Plaza includes 200 SF of sign area for nine ASC logo scrim panels used for the
Gondola Terminal maze fencing. Please refer to the EXHIBIT D – Gondola Plaza Master Sign Plan Matrix

Proposed New Signage Detailed Review
The existing and proposed clock is located in Area 3. As the clock faces are less than two feet apart and are of
equal size, the new clock tower sign area is calculated as 3.14 SF as per the following section:
Section 26.510.060 c. (2)
(2) Where two (2) faces are placed back to back and are at no point more than two (2) feet from
one another, the sign area is:
a. the area of one (1) of the faces if the two (2) faces are of equal area, o r
In addition to the clock tower, the applicant is proposing a new wall mounted identification sign for the recently
renovated Aspen Mountain Club locker room. The sign will be cast bronze plaque 1’-0” in height by 8 ½” in
width. The sign is proposed to be located in Area 8, mounted on the building signage fascia. Please refer to
attached EXHIBIT G AMC Locker Room sign.
All signs are identified and located on the Master Sign Plan, including both the proposed clock tower in Area 3
(Sign E1) and the proposed AMC locker room identification sign (Sign S1) located in Area 9. Please see
EXHIBIT F MASTER SIGN PLAN for all sign locations.
Sign Area and Matrix Summary
The proposed additional sign areas comprise of the 3.14 SF area for the clock tower (sign E1) and .85 SF for
the new Aspen Mountain Club sign (sign S1) for a total area of 3.99 SF. To offset these added signs the
applicant proposes to reduce the allotted area for the approved Upper Plaza Kiosk (sign J2) from 16.25 SF to
12.00 SF. This sign has not yet been fabricated and currently not yet placed on property.
The amended application proposes a Lower Plaza sign area allotment of 140.47 SF and 326.35 SF sign area
for the Upper Plaza. The net result is a total Gondola Plaza sign area allotment of 466.82 SF as shown in the
Gondola Master Sign Plan Matrix Amendment 1 as compared to the 467.08 SF area allotment in the original
approval, resulting in no net gain of the approved sign area allotment. Please refer to EXHIBIT E – Gondola
