behalf of our client, and in accordance with Section 26.316.030 of the City of Aspen Municipal
Code (the "Code"), please accept this letter as a formal Notice of Appeal of the decision of the

City Council at a public meeting, within thirty (30) days of the date of filing of this Appeal or as

abused its discretion and denied our client due process in denying a Code -compliant
Development Application that satisfied all applicable guidelines.

included with this Notice of Appeal and a deposit check for $1,300 payable to the order of the
City of Aspen is being tendered separately with this Notice of Appeal.
