watering exposed areas as reasonably necessary to suppress dust during all times of
excavation, and the provision of physical sound barriers between the construction site and

plantings on the roof shall not qualify as mitigation. The applicant shall explore potential sites
around the property to allow full maturation of trees. This shall be included as part of the PD
Detail Review.

remaining on site shall be included in the building permit application for any demolition or
significant site work. The plan shall indicate the location of protective zones for approval by the

Section 12: Aspen Consolidated Sanitation District Requirements
Service is contingent upon compliance with the District's rules, regulations, and specifications,
which are on file at the District office.
ACSD will review the approved Drainage plans to assure that clear water connections (roof,
foundation,perimeter, patio drains) are not connected to the sanitary sewer system.
On-site sanitary sewer utility plans require approval by ACSD. Permanent improvements are
prohibited in sewer easements or right of ways. Landscaping plans will require approval by
ACSD where soft and hard landscaping may impact public ROW or easements to be dedicated to
the district.
Old service lines must be excavated and abandoned at the main sanitary sewer line according to
specific ACSD requirements and prior to micropiling. Soil nails are not allowed in rights of
way. One tap is allowed for each building. Shared service line agreements may be required
where more than one unit is served by a single service line.
Below grade development may require installation of a pumping system. Above grade
development shall flow by gravity.
Plumbing plans for the pool and spa areas require approval of the drain size by the district.
Glycol snowmelt and heating systems must have containment provisions and must preclude
discharge to the public sanitary sewer system.
Oil and Grease interceptors are required for all new and remodeled food processing
establishments. Oil and Sand separators are required for public vehicle parking garages and
vehicle maintenance facilities. Driveway entrance drains shall not be routed to ACSD's sanitary
sewer infrastructure but rather be mitigated in accordance with the City of Aspen's Urban Runoff
Management Plan. Elevator shafts drains must flow thru Oil and Sand interceptor. Plans for
interceptors, separators and containment facilities require submittal by the applicant and approval
prior to a building permit application.
Where additional development would produce flows that would exceed the planned reserve
capacity of the existing system (collection system and or treatment system) an additional
proportionate fee will be assessed to eliminate the downstream collection system or treatment
City Council
Ordinance No. 39, Series 2014
Page 9 of 14
capacity constraint. Additional proportionate fees would be collected over time from all
development in the area of concern in order to fund the improvements needed.
Where additional development would produce flows that would overwhelm the planned capacity
of the existing collection system and or treatment facility, the development will be assessed fees
to cover the costs of replacing the entire portion of the system that would be overwhelmed. The
District would fund the costs of constructing reserve capacity in the area of concern (only for the
material cost difference for larger line).
The Applicant shall furnish average and peak flows as well as service size prior to final design.
The district will be able to respond with more specific comments and requirements once detailed
building and utility plans are available. All ACSD total connection fees must be paid prior to the
issuance of a building permit.
Amendments to the above requirements agreed to in writing by the Applicant and the Aspen
Consolidated Sanitation District shall supersede the sanitation requirements listed herein.
Section 13: Environmental Health Department

13.4 Noise Requirements: The Applicant shall be required to install a sound system to
accommodate the acoustic needs for day-to-day operations as well as special events.
Outside events are not permitted to bring in their own sound equipment, unless approved
by the City through a Temporary Use Approval or a Special Events Permit. Noise levels
shall meet City requirements at all times. The applicant shall explore an engineered
solution that does not require .additional noise paneling. If an engineered solution is not
achievable, removable transparent panels of no more than 4.5 feet in height (from the point
of attachment) shall be permitted on the second floor and rooftop decks to help abate noise.
These shall be removed within 24 hours following an event. In the event the removable
panels are required for back-to-back events, they may be up for no longer than seven (7)
continuous days. The Applicant shall meet with representative from the Community
Development and Environmental Health Departments prior to submission of the main
building permit to review the engineered solution options and evaluate the need for the
noise panels referenced herein.
The Sky Hotel will satisfy all of the time and decibel levels as required by the City
regulations, as the same may be amended from time to time. Notwithstanding City Code
limitations, the decibel level at the property line between the Sky Hotel and the Skegby
Residence, as measured by the City of Aspen Enforcement Officer, shall not exceed 60 dB-
A; and the decibel level at the property line between the Sky Hotel and the Neighbors shall
not exceed 60 dB-A measured from the southwest corner of the Chateau Chaumont
property line and the southwest corner of the 3rd floor courtyard balcony. In both cases
such measurements shall be made using a sound level meter with the "A" weighting scale,
set on "slow" response at any time there is activity on the roof top of the Sky Hotel. The
noise level shall be assessed by taking numerous measurements over a number of minutes,
and averaging those readings. The sound level meters must meet Type 2 specifications,
according to ANSI S1.4-2014 (or most current edition), and that sound level meter should
be checked prior to measurements with a field calibrator. The noise measured must actually
originate from the Sky Hotel. Any measurement must take into account and consider other
background noises as required by the City code at the time of the event and measurement.
All activity (except for the limited purposes of cleaning and removal of sound barriers) on
the roof top areas of the Sky Hotel shall cease at the earlier of 10:00 p.m. or the time
provided in the City regulations for the cessation of outdoor amplified music unless a
Special Event Permit is obtained from the City by the Sky Hotel. There shall be no more
than 15 Special Events per year for which Applicant or the Sky Hotel applies to the City for
activity on the rooftop areas, and in no case shall Special Event activity on the roof top
continue beyond 11:00 p.m. on any night. Provided, however, removal of sound barriers
may be permitted to take place after the conclusion of any special event. Sound barriers
will be limited to the areas shown on the plans dated January 26, 2015 submitted by the
City Council

Detail Review and shall include a monitoring plan.
