Minor changes to the Project’s dimensional requirements may be approved by the City’s Community Development Department provided that the resulting floor areas do not exceed that which is permitted in the Lodge zone district. Should the dimensions of the Final Building Permit issuance be lower than those outlined in the Ordinance 39, the Applicant shall have the right to add additional square footage to the project though an Insubstantial Amendment through the period of vesting. The governing Dimensional Standard in Section 1: General Approval, Section 7: Project Dimensions paragraphs A and B and Exhibit B Dimensional Standards on Exhibit B of Ordinance 39 complete approved standards. Norway Island shall also comply with the additional conditions regarding dimensional requirements set forth in sub-sections 7.A (exceptions to height limitation for rooftop elevators, 7.B and 7.C of Ordinance 39). 2.4 Vested Rights. In accordance with the requirements of C.R.S. Section 24-68- 103(b) (2019), a properly noticed public hearing concerning the establishment of such vested rights for the Property was conducted on January 7, 2019. The City has since determined that the Project and the Approvals related to the same constitute a new site-specific development plan pursuant to Land Use Code Section 26.308.010 and C.R.S. § 24-68-101 et seq. attaching to and running with the Property and conferring upon Norway Island the right to undertake and complete the site-specific development plan and use of the Property under the terms and conditions of the site-specific development plan, and any approved amendments thereto. As such, development of the Project and shall not be altered, impaired, diminished or delayed by any subsequent zoning or land use action that is prohibited by C.R.S. Section 24-68-105(1). However, any failure to abide by any of the terms and conditions attendant to the Approvals that is not cured by Norway Island after written notice from the City, a right to a public hearing in accordance with applicable provisions of the Land Use Code, and a reasonable opportunity to cure, will result in the forfeiture of said vested property rights. The City and Norway Island further agree that, due to various factors, including but not limited to the significant scope of this Project, the City’s request to pursue relocation of the base of Current Lift 1A, and the need to wait until all required City-owned property is available for this use, it is appropriate for vested rights to extend beyond three years. Consequently, the right to undertake and complete the development and use of the Property pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Approvals and the Approved Plan Set for the Property shall commence upon the effective date of the Development Order for the Project issued by the City pursuant to Section 26.304.080 of the Land Use Code and be vested thereafter for a period extending until five years following the effective date of the use rights conferred as part of the initial 40-year term of the Dolinsek License pursuant to Section 6.A.1 of Ordinance No. 38, Series of 2018. If the effective date of the use rights conferred as part of the initial 40-year term of the Dolinsek License has already occurred, the vested rights shall extend for a period of five (5) years from the effective date of the Development Order. However, the vesting period shall not extend longer than the validity of the Development Order issued for the Project pursuant to Section 26.304.080 of the Land Use Code, as amended from time to time (which Section 26.304.080 currently provides that a Development Order will not be valid for more than ten years). Additionally, nothing herein shall be construed as limiting Norway Island’s right to proceed with the Project Formatted: Highlight Page 6 of 28 prior to the commencement of the initial 40-year term of the Dolinsek License, provided that the Project has received the required Detailed/Final Review approvals described in Ordinance 39 and complied with the City’s permit requirements.

After completion of all required elements and triggers pursuant to that process, if it is nonetheless determined by the City that a snowmelt system is the only mechanism to adequately and reasonably respond to winter street conditions and actual post- development traffic impacts from this Project and the Lift One Lodge Project, the City may then proceed to require Norway Island and the developer of the Lift One Lodge Project to install a snowmelt system, in which case Norway Island shall only be required to pay 1/3 of the cost. Norway Island expressly accepts these obligation as a condition of approval of the Project. As Aspen Street is a public street, any contemplated snowmelt system shall be exempt from applicable Renewable Energy Mitigation Program (REMP) fees. 3.16 Construction Staging and Sequencing Plan. A preliminary construction staging and sequencing plan of coordination between Norway Island, the developer of the Lift One Lodge Project, and Aspen Skiing Company is attached to this Agreement as Exhibit C___. 3.17 Material Representations. All material representations and commitments made by Norway Island in connection with the Project’s development approvals contained or referenced herein, whether made in public hearings or in documentation presented before the Aspen Planning and Zoning Commission or the Aspen City Council, are hereby expressly incorporated in said Project’s development approvals and such representations and commitments shall be complied with by Norway Island as if fully set forth herein, unless amended by an authorized entity. 3.18 School Land Dedication Fee. Before building permits are issued for the Project, Norway Island shall pay to City a cash payment in lieu of school land dedication for the Project’s four free market residential units and one affordable housing unit in an amount to be determined at building permit issuance based on the regulations in effect at that time. 3.19 Park Development Impact Fee. Before building permits are issued for the Project, Norway Island shall pay to City a Park Development Impact Fee for the Project in an amount to be determined at building permit issuance based on the regulations in effect at that time. Formatted: Font: Bold Page 14 of 28 3.20 Air Quality Impact Fee. Before building permits are issued for the Project, Norway Island shall pay to City an Air Quality Impact Fee in an amount to be determined at building permit issuance based on the regulations in effect at that time. 3.21 Additional Licenses and Easements. Pursuant to Section 5 of Ordinance 39, within 180 days following the City’s issuance of a Development Order for the Project, and prior to issuance of a CO, Norway Island shall finalize and provide the following additional licenses and easements to the City, which agreements shall all contain commercially reasonable insurance and indemnity provisions (provided, however, that the City will not provide an indemnification to any party): A. As contemplated in the dedications and reservations set forth in the Final Plat, an easement agreement between Norway Island and the Aspen Skiing Company to allow ski-related activity and infrastructure on Lot 1 and to allow skiing and ski and lift related activities, equipment, improvements and infrastructure, including, without limitation, subgrade snowmaking infrastructure as well as above grade ski and lift related equipment, improvements and infrastructure to occur on, over and under the Hill Street right-of-way. The easement agreement will provide that Aspen Skiing Company will own and exclusively control all ski and lift related equipment, improvements and infrastructure construed on, over, and under the Hill Street right-of-way.

However, no such easements to be granted by the City with respect to the Dolinsek Property shall be legally effective until the City is permitted to grant such easements pursuant to the Dolinsek Deed, and no such easements on the Dolinsek Property shall violate the terms and restrictions of the Conservation Easement on the Dolinsek Property held by the Aspen Valley Land Trust. C. As provided in Paragraph 13 of the Certificate of Ownership, Dedications and Reservations on Sheet 1 of the Final Plat, and as shown on Sheet 5 of the Final Plat, the City shall be granted limited, non-exclusive easements over and across Lot 1 and Lot 2 for access to and maintenance of storm water and surface drainage facilities and infrastructure, including the west swale headwall and catch basin depicted on Sheet 5 of the Final Plat. [NOTE: See dedications and acceptances shown and described in the Vacation Plat as well as in the Final Plat.] Page 15 of 28 3.22 City Vacation of Street Rights-of-Way and Acceptance of Private Property.

Upon receipt by the City from Norway Island of completed revocable easement license applications, the City shall grant revocable encroachment licenses to Norway Island for all private improvements and infrastructure for the Project shown on the Approved Plan Set that will be located within City rights of way. 3.24 Other Agreements. Following completion of the construction of the building improvements on Lot 1, a Condominium Map and Condominium Declaration shall be submitted pursuant to Section 26.480.050(A) of the City of Aspen Municipal Code. [See Section 16.C.2 of Ordinance 39 which refers to “Other Agreements as necessary --- between the stakeholders to the project including: the City of Aspen, Aspen Historical Society, Aspen Skiing Company, Lift One Lodge, and Gorsuch Haus.” We should specifically identify any agreements to be signed by the City after the date of the Development Agreement and make sure the Development Agreement commits the City to approve/sign.] ARTICLE IV.

The City shall use commercially reasonable efforts to not adversely impact the operation of, or access to the Project by Norway Island. The Escrow Funds or any remaining balance thereof shall be returned to Norway Island upon completion by the City of a final inspection of the work authorized by the Foundation/Structural Frame Permit on the Project; provided, however, that the Community Development Director shall promptly authorize partial releases, in increments of no less than 25% of the original surety, of the Site Protection Guarantee as portions of the Project protection, security, and safety are reduced. The City shall be a named party to the Escrow Agreement with the express right and authority to enforce the same from time to time. (b) Site Enhancement Guarantee. Before the issuance of a Building Permit for the Project, Norway Island shall deposit with _________________ (“Escrow Agent”) the sum of ___________ and 00/ U.S. Dollars ($__________) in the form of cash or wired funds (the “Escrow Funds”) and will execute an Escrow Agreement and Instructions with the Escrow Agent which recites as follows: In the event construction work on the Project shall cease for 90 days or longer (”Work Stoppage“) prior to a final inspection by the City of the work authorized by any permit or phase of permit for the Project and cessation of such construction work continues for a period of one hundred twenty (120) days after notice from the City to Norway Island specifying the subject work in reasonable detail, or if such Work Stoppage cannot reasonably be cured within such one hundred twenty (120) day period and Norway Island fails to commence and proceed diligently to cure such Work Stoppage within a reasonable time period, then the City, in its reasonable discretion, may draw upon the Escrow Funds from time to time as needed for the purposes of improving the appearance of any construction work already completed on the Project site and for installing any public improvements on or adjacent to the Project site. The City shall use commercially reasonable Page 17 of 28 discretion with respect to the manner or improving the appearance of construction work in progress as well as determining the public improvements to be installed. The City shall use commercially reasonable efforts to not adversely impact the operation of, or access to the Project by Norway Island. The Escrow Funds or any remaining balance thereof shall be returned to Norway Island upon completion by the City of a final inspection of the work authorized by the Foundation/Structural Frame Permit on the Project; provided, however, that the Community Development Director shall promptly authorize partial releases, in increments of no less than 25% of the original surety, of the Site Enhancement Guarantee as portions of the Project pertaining to its appearance, or the installing any public improvements on or adjacent to the Project are substantially performed. The City shall be a named party to the Escrow Agreement with the express right and authority to enforce the same from time to time. 5.2 Performance Guarantees. 5.2.1 Public Improvements.

(ii) Public Infrastructure Improvements for Lots 1 and 2 are itemized on Exhibit ED attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference. (iii) Storm Water and Drainage Improvements associated with Lot 1 and Lot 2 are itemized on Exhibit FE attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference. (b) Security for Improvements. Prior to the issuance of a Building Permit for the Project, Norway Island shall provide a performance guarantee (the “Guarantee”) in an amount (the “Guarantee Amount”) equal to one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the estimated costs of the Public Improvements (“Improvements”) itemized on Exhibits D, E and FC, D & E attached hereto. The Guarantee may be in the form of a cash escrow held by a third-party escrow agent (an “Escrow Agent”), an irrevocable sight draft or letter of commitment from a financially responsible lender, or any financial security acceptable to the City Attorney. It is further agreed that Guarantee Amount described above shall constitute the total of all security required for all the Improvements which Norway Island is required to perform. For purposes hereof “Substantially Complete“ or “Substantial Completion” shall mean that the City has inspected the Improvements and has reasonably determined that they are Substantially Complete in compliance with applicable specifications and has issued a Certificate of Substantial Completion or similarly intended form of approval. Subject to provisions below in section 5.2.1 (c) including, without limitation, partial release provisions, the Guarantee Amount representing the cost of part or all of the Improvements (as itemized on Exhibit D, E and FC, D, or E) which are Substantially Complete shall be immediately released to Norway Island. If there is any balance remaining in the Guarantee Amount after all partial releases and all Improvements are Substantially Complete, all such remaining amounts shall be immediately released to Norway Page 18 of 28 Island upon delivery of written notice to any applicable Escrow Agent by Norway Island directing such delivery. (c) Escrow Release Provisions. Upon delivery by Norway Island of written notice that the Improvements or any part or parts thereof are complete and ready for inspection (“Request for Inspection“) along with a showing of the value of the Improvements or part(s) thereof completed, the City will, within 14 days, inspect the Improvements identified in the Request for Inspection, to determine whether or not such Improvements are Substantially Complete. If the City finds that the Improvements identified in the Request for Inspection are Substantially Complete, the City shall, within 7 days, deliver a written Certificate of Substantial Completion to Norway Island and any applicable Escrow Agent. Upon receipt of a Certificate of Substantial Completion for Improvements identified in the Request for Inspection, the City or any applicable Escrow Agent shall immediately release to Norway Island the total itemized amount (per Exhibit D, E or FC, D, or E) corresponding to all Improvements which the City has certified as Substantially Complete. Pursuant to Section 26.445.070(C)(4) of the Land Use Code, ten percent (10%) of the value of the Improvement(s) set forth in the City’s Certification of Substantial Completion shall be retained by the City or any applicable Escrow Agent. If no Certificate of Substantial Completion is delivered within the said seven (7) day period, all Improvements identified in the Request for Inspection shall automatically be deemed Substantially Complete without requirement of any further action. Norway Island need only provide written notice to any applicable Escrow Agent, with a copy to the City that no Certificate of Substantial Completion was delivered. Such notice to any applicable Escrow Agent shall be deemed the equivalent of a Certificate of Substantial Completion from the City and upon receipt of such notice, the City or any applicable Escrow Agent is authorized to promptly release to Norway Island the total itemized amount (per Exhibit D, E or FC, D, or E) corresponding to all Improvements which the City has certified as Substantially Complete minus the 10% withholding as per Section 26.445.070(C)(4) of the Land Use Code. If the cost to Substantially Complete the Improvements, or part(s) thereof is less than the corresponding amount itemized in each of Exhibits D, E or FC, D & E attached hereto, and the City certifies that such Improvements, or part (s) thereof are Substantially Complete, the City or any applicable Escrow Agent shall immediately release to Norway Island the total itemized amount (per Exhibit D, E or FC, D, or E) corresponding to all Improvements which the City has certified as Substantially Complete minus the 10% required to be withheld pursuant to Section 26.445.070(C)(4) of the Land Use Code. If the City finds that all or a portion of the Improvements identified in the Request for Inspection are not Substantially Complete, the City shall furnish a letter of potential deficiencies to Norway Island and any applicable Escrow Agent within fourteen (14) days of such finding. Any such letter of potential deficiencies shall specify which Improvements identified in the Request for Inspection are potentially deficient. If a letter of potential deficiencies is issued which specifies a portion of the Improvements identified in the Request for Inspection as potentially deficient, then all Improvements identified in such Request for Inspection which are not specified as being Page 19 of 28 potentially deficient shall automatically be deemed Substantially Complete without requirement of any further action. Norway Island need only provide written notice to any applicable Escrow Agent with a copy to the City that the Improvements not specified in the letter of potential deficiencies are Substantially Complete. Such notice to any applicable Escrow Agent shall be deemed the equivalent of a Certificate of Substantial Completion from the City and upon receipt of such notice, the City or any applicable Escrow Agent shall immediately release to Norway Island the total itemized amount (per Exhibit D, E or FC, D, or E) corresponding to all Improvements which the City has certified as Substantially Complete minus the 10% withholding as per Section 26.445.070(C)(4) of the Land Use Code. If no letter of potential deficiency is furnished within the said fourteen (14) day period, all Improvements identified in the Request for Inspection shall automatically be deemed Substantially Complete without requirement of any further action. Norway Island need only provide written notice to any applicable Escrow Agent, with a copy to the City that no letter of potential deficiency was provided as required hereunder. Such notice to any applicable Escrow Agent shall be deemed the equivalent of a Certificate of Substantial Completion from the City and upon receipt of such notice, the City or any applicable Escrow Agent shall promptly release to Norway Island the total itemized amount (per Exhibit D, E or F C, D, or E) corresponding to all Improvements which the City has certified as Substantially Complete minus the 10% withholding as per Section 26.445.070(C)(4) of the Land Use Code. With respect to any Improvements identified in the Request for Inspection that are specified as potentially deficient in a letter of potential deficiencies as provided hereunder, Norway Island shall have a reasonable period of time to cure any such potential deficiencies. After performing cure measures, Norway Island shall submit to the City a Request for Inspection, along with a showing of the cost of the Improvements completed. The City will, within 14 days, inspect the Improvements previously identified as potentially deficient to determine whether or not such Improvements have been made Substantially Complete. If the City reasonably finds that the Improvements previously identified as potentially deficient have been made Substantially Complete, the City shall, within 7 days, deliver a Certificate of Substantial Completion to Norway Island and any applicable Escrow Agent. In such event, the City or any applicable Escrow Agent shall release to Norway Island within 5 days, the total itemized amount (per Exhibit D, E or FC, D, or E) corresponding to all Improvements which the City has certified as Substantially Complete minus the 10% withholding as per Section 26.445.070(C)(4) of the Land Use Code. If the City fails to respond to Norway Island’s Request for Inspection regarding cure measures taken as to previously identified potentially deficient Improvements within such 7-day period, all such Improvements identified in the Request for Inspection shall automatically be deemed Substantially Complete. Norway Island need only provide written notice to any applicable Escrow Agent, with a copy to the City that no letter of potential deficiency was provided as required hereunder. Such notice to any applicable Escrow Agent shall be deemed the equivalent of a Certificate of Substantial Completion from the City and upon receipt of such notice, the City or any applicable Escrow Agent shall promptly release to Norway Island the total itemized amount (per Exhibit D, E or FC, D, or E) corresponding to all Improvements which the City has certified as Substantially Complete minus the 10% withholding as per Section 26.445.070(C)(4) of the Land Use Code. If the City reasonably finds that the Improvements previously identified as potentially deficient have not been made Substantially Complete then City and Norway Island shall have 14 Page 20 of 28 days after the date of the City’s finding, to reach written resolution regarding the Improvements determined by the City to be potentially deficient. If Norway Island and the City are not able to reach resolution within such 14 day period then the City and Norway Island agree to submit the dispute to the Board of Appeals and Examiners of the City of Aspen (hereinafter referred to as ”Board“). The Board shall base its decision upon substantial evidence presented. The Board’s finding would be subject to review pursuant to C.R.C.P. Rule 106(a)(4) in accordance with the laws of the State of Colorado. If Norway Island has not applied to the District Court for review of the determination of the Board within that time set forth pursuant to C.R.C.P. 106(a)(4) and has not obtained a Certificate of Substantial Completion City regarding the potentially deficient Improvements within such time or such additional time as may be reasonably needed by Norway Island under the circumstances, the City may cause the potentially deficient Improvements to be Substantially Complete and the costs of making the potentially deficient Improvements Substantially Complete shall be paid from the Guarantee Amount; provided, however, that in so doing, the City’s expenses shall be commercially reasonable. If the City’s costs are less than the itemized amounts for such Improvements (per Exhibit D, E or FC, D or E) the difference remaining shall be promptly paid to Norway Island. If the Board finds that the City’s determination was correct, then Norway Island, in addition to appeal rights, shall have the right to take such corrective action as may be reasonably necessary to correct the Improvements found by the Board to be potentially deficient. Upon completion of such corrective action, Norway Island will submit to the City a Request for Inspection. If the City determines that Improvements found by the Board to be potentially deficient have been made Substantially Complete then the City shall, within 7 days, deliver a Certificate of Substantial Completion to Norway Island and any applicable Escrow Agent. In such event, the City or any applicable Escrow Agent shall release to Norway Island within five (5) days, the total itemized amount (per Exhibit D, E or FC, D, or E) corresponding to all Improvements which the City has certified as Substantially Complete minus the 10% withholding as per Section 26.445.070(C)(4) of the Land Use Code. If the City determines that Improvements found by the Board to be potentially deficient remain potentially deficient then the City may cause such potentially deficient Improvements to be Substantially Complete and the costs of making such potentially deficient Improvements Substantially Complete shall be paid from the Guarantee Amount; provided, however, that in so doing, the City’s expenses shall be commercially reasonable. If the City’s costs are less than the itemized amounts for such Improvements (per Exhibit D, E or FC, D or E) the difference remaining shall be promptly paid to Norway Island. In the event the Board finds in favor of Norway Island, then the Improvements in issue shall automatically be deemed Substantially Complete without requirement of any further action. Norway Island need only provide written notice to any applicable Escrow Agent, with a copy to the City that the Board found in favor of Norway Island. Such notice to any applicable Escrow Agent shall be deemed the equivalent of a Certificate of Substantial Completion from the Board. Upon receipt of such notice, the City or any applicable Escrow Agent shall immediately release to Norway Island the total itemized amount (per Exhibit D, E or FC, D, or E) corresponding to all Improvements which the City has certified as Substantially Complete minus the 10% withholding as per Section 26.445.070(C)(4) of the Land Use Code. Page 21 of 28 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, after any and all partial releases, and once all Improvements are Substantially Complete, the 10% withheld pursuant to Section 26.445.070(C)(4) of the Land Use Code shall be immediately released by the City or any applicable Escrow Agent to Norway Island. If there are delays in performance hereunder due to abnormal adverse weather conditions, acts of God, casualties or any causes beyond the control of Norway Island or the City, or by other causes which reasonably would justify delay, then the affected time period or deadline shall be extended for a reasonable period of time, as may be agreed upon by the parties. No agreement to extend may be unreasonably withheld or delayed. It is the express understanding of the parties that compliance with the procedure set forth in Article VI below pertaining to the procedure for default and amendment of this Agreement shall be required with respect to the enforcement and implementation of the financial assurances and guarantees to be provided by Norway Island as set forth above; provided, however that all procedures and requirements of this Article V shall be exhausted by the City before any action under Article VI below is taken by the City with regard to matters pertaining to this Article V. ARTICLE VI. NON-COMPLIANCE AND REQUEST FOR AMENDMENTS OR EXTENSIONS In the event that the City determines that Norway Island is not acting in substantial compliance with the terms of this Agreement, the City shall notify Norway Island in writing specifying the alleged non-compliance and asking that Norway Island remedy the alleged non- compliance within such reasonable time as the City may determine, but not less than 30 days. If the City determines that Norway Island has not complied within such time, the City may issue and serve upon Norway Island a written order specifying the alleged non-compliance and requiring Norway Island to remedy the same within thirty (30) days. Within twenty (20) days of the receipt of such order, Norway Island may file with the City Council either a notice advising the City that it is in compliance or a written request to determine any one or both of the following matters: (a) Whether the alleged non-compliance exists or did exist, or (b) Whether a variance, extension of time or amendment to this Agreement should be granted with respect to any such non-compliance which is determined to exist. Upon the receipt of such request, the City shall promptly schedule a meeting of the parties to consider the matters set forth in the order of non-compliance. The meeting of the parties shall be convened and conducted pursuant to the procedures normally established by the City. If the City determines that a non-compliance exists which has not been remedied, it may issue such orders as may be appropriate, including the imposition of daily fines until such non- compliance has been remedied, the withholding of permits and/or certificate of occupancy, as applicable; provided, however, no order shall terminate any land use approval. The City may also grant such variances, extensions of time or amendments to this Agreement as it may deem appropriate under the circumstances. Page 22 of 28 In addition to the foregoing, Norway Island may, on its own initiative, petition the City for a variance, an amendment to this Agreement or an extension of one or more of the time periods required for performance hereunder. The City may grant such variances, amendments to this Agreement, or extensions of time as it may deem appropriate under the circumstances. The parties expressly acknowledge and agree that the City shall not unreasonably refuse to extend the time periods for performance hereunder if Norway Island demonstrates that the reasons for the delay(s) which necessitate said extension(s) result from acts of God or other events beyond the reasonable control of Norway Island, despite good faith efforts on its part to perform in a timely manner.

My commission expires: _________________________________ Notary Public Page 27 of 28 EXHIBIT B South Aspen Street Winter Maintenance: The City of Aspen has considered the potential traffic impacts to South Aspen Street from the approved Gorsuch Haus Development and Lift One Lodge Development (Applicants), including the ability for South Aspen Street, as it exists, to provide safe, unobstructed access. Due to its steep grade, narrow width, and north facing aspect, requiring South Aspen Street to be improved with a snowmelt system has been considered in relation to the subject applications. At the time of this approval, the City of Aspen defers requiring the Applicant to install a snowmelt system. The purpose of this deferment is to engage in a process to evaluate the efficacy of requiring the Applicants to install a South Aspen Street snowmelt system. At the conclusion of this process, the City of Aspen may require installation. The following timeframes, service/maintenance adjustments, and triggers shall be used to evaluate the potential installation of a snowmelt system: Year 1 - from date of Final approval: A. The Applicants shall complete a traffic study that provides a baseline evaluation of existing traffic volumes associated with the existing land uses located along South Aspen Street. The traffic study shall also include an evaluation of future traffic impacts as a result of the Gorsuch Haus development, the Lift One Lodge Development, and new location of Lift 1A near Dean Street. This evaluation of future traffic impacts shall consider the width, grade, and winter conditions of South Aspen Street and consider types personal and commercial vehicles that will access the future lodges. Once complete, this study shall be submitted to the Community Development Director for evaluation. B. The City of Aspen shall evaluate the general impacts and potential effectiveness of alternative product applications that could provide increased traction on South Aspen Street such as salt-based de-icers, use of Magnesium Chloride or other similar product, increase application of sand or other similar material, or some combination of these alternatives. The City of Aspen shall also evaluate the potential of resurfacing South Aspen Street with a combination of traction base material, permanent bonding, and grooved pavement, as well as restrictions on vehicle types and vehicle tires. These evaluations shall include referral comments from the Environmental Health Department for environmental impact consideration and the Engineering Department. Once complete, the evaluation shall be released to the Applicants. Year 2 – from date of Final approval: C. The City of Aspen shall identify current snowmelt system technologies and evaluate the financial and environmental costs of installation, maintenance, and operation of such a system. The City of Aspen shall also explore renewable energy alternatives associated with this potential installation.

Within 1 year of the completion of the Gorsuch Haus and the Lift One Lodge: D. Post development of the Gorsuch Haus and the Lift One Lodge, actual traffic impact to South Aspen Street shall be evaluated by the Applicants. This evaluation shall include a traffic study that details average and peak traffic volume counts and details the use of South Aspen Street in relation to the types of personal and commercial vehicles that are used in both summer and winter conditions. Once complete, this study shall be submitted to the Community Development Director for evaluation. This traffic study shall be considered in tandem with the baseline traffic study that was required in subsection A above. E. The City of Aspen shall prioritize South Aspen Street winter maintenance and engage in alternative snow plowing, snow storage, and snow removal techniques that are proportional with the full commercial operation of the Gorsuch Haus and Lift One Lodge developments. These techniques shall be documented and logged. The City of Aspen, the Gorsuch Haus, and the Lift One Lodge shall evaluate these techniques for their effectiveness to provide safe access to the lodge developments. F. Should increased winter service maintenance to South Aspen Street not provide reasonably safe access to the lodge developments, the City Council, at its discretion, shall consider, and potentially implement, the use of alternative product applications and/or an alternative traction surface to South Aspen Street using the evaluation outlined in subsection B above. G. If it is found that a snowmelt system is the only mechanism to adequately and reasonably respond to winter street conditions and associated traffic impacts from the lodge developments, the City Council at a public meeting, using the information outlined above and at their discretion, shall have the ability to require the Gorsuch Haus and the Lift One Lodge, or assigns, to install a snowmelt system within South Aspen Street. The following triggers shall also be used to evaluate this requirement: o Unsafe conditions on South Aspen Street that do not allow the safe access of vehicles to the approved lodge developments. o Excessive City of Aspen cost overruns and environmental impacts due to the increased service maintenance measures to South Aspen Street. H. Should the City of Aspen require the installation of a snowmelt system on South Aspen Street, the Lift One Lodge and Gorsuch Haus hereby agree to each contribute one-third (1/3) of the cost for such installation. As Aspen Street is a public street, any contemplated snow melt system is exempt from applicable REMP (Renewable Energy Mitigation Program) fees. 14261104_v5 Formatted: Numbered + Level: 1 + Numbering Style:A, B, C, … + Start at: 1 + Alignment: Left + Aligned at: 0.25" + Indent at: 0.5", Tab stops: Not at 0.5" Formatted: Numbered + Level: 1 + Numbering Style:A, B, C, … + Start at: 1 + Alignment: Left + Aligned at: 0.25" + Indent at: 0.5", Tab stops: Not at 0.5" Formatted: Numbered + Level: 1 + Numbering Style:A, B, C, … + Start at: 1 + Alignment: Left + Aligned at: 0.25" + Indent at: 0.5", Tab stops: Not at 0.5" Formatted: Numbered + Level: 1 + Numbering Style:A, B, C, … + Start at: 1 + Alignment: Left + Aligned at: 0.25" + Indent at: 0.5", Tab stops: Not at 0.5" Formatted: Bulleted + Level: 2 + Aligned at: 0.75" +Indent at: 1", Tab stops: Not at 1"
