I. INTRODUCTION
1.PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This amendment to the Gorsuch Haus application represents an update to the Lodge and the replacement of Lift 1A
to support the Lift 1A Corridor Plan. The Lift Corridor is multiple parcels that together can meet the needs of
providing the replacement lift closer to the core of Aspen. Norway Island, LLC (Applicant) has worked with Aspen
Skiing Company, the City of Aspen and Lift One Lodge to achieve consensus in locating the replacement of Lift 1A at
Dean Street and develop a vision that reflects the Aspen community needs. Replacement of Lift 1A is essential to
retaining World Cup skiing in Aspen as has been made clear by FIS, the Cup governing body. Lift replacement, in
turn, necessitates investment in the overall base area to upgrade insufficient infrastructure, improve accessibility
and provide a supportive community focal point. This application includes a mixed-use lodge program and the
replacement of Lift 1A as the primary components of this amended application.
The Lift 1A Corridor Plan is forward-thinking and ensures that this area serves as a new portal to Aspen Mountain.
The components of the plan encourage a much larger vision than provided by individual projects. Great community
benefit is realized though the replacement of the lift, the continuation of the skiway to Town and the expanded
public amenities. The development proposal from Norway Island, LLC address the lack of new lodging options,
particularly true operating hotels in recent years, which has resulted in an aging bed base. This Plan is designed to
fulfill the need of a true operational hotel in light of the continued loss of hotel rooms that support the guest
economy.
The Gorsuch Haus site at the base of the mountain and adjacent to recreation and skiing represents an ideal hotel
site. This modest sized hotel provides 81 hotel rooms with a smaller average room size than neighboring lodges like
The Little Nell, W Hotel [currently under construction], St. Regis and Limelight. This Project is the right size, in a good
location, and fulfills an important need in our tourist-based economy. The Project is fundamentally following the
intention of the Lodge district with modest exceptions in the Planned Development.
To accommodate replacement of the lift and redevelopment of the western portal to Aspen Mountain, the
Applicant proposes adjusting the site area property boundaries to create two lots. One lot will remain under
ownership of the Aspen Skiing Company zoned as C, Conservation District. The other lot is proposed to be rezoned
from C, Conservation District, to L, Lodge, which will be incorporated as the Gorsuch Haus Planned Development.
Rezoning will permit continuation of the site’s existing uses including the ski lift corridor, skiway, as well as allow for
complementary lodging and hospitality uses including food and beverage, affordable housing, and limited multi-
family residential. These improvements will activate this part of town with critical infrastructure improvements,
lodging and community-oriented spaces, resulting in a high level of public benefit.
The Proposed Project Illustrative Plan (Figure 1) identifies the major components of the Project as follows:
A.Lift corridor and realigned lift towers
B.New pedestrian walkways and street crosswalks connecting to the site
C.Gorsuch Haus Mixed Use Lodge will include:
•81 hotel lodging rooms
•4 free-market multi-family units

2.LIFT 1A REPLACEMENT
The replacement of the existing Lift 1A terminal has been relocated to a planned Dean Street location. The lift
replacement is a component of the Gorsuch Haus Project and will be a joint effort facilitated by the Norway Island,
LLC and the Aspen Skiing Company in cooperation with Lift Oe.
PROCESS TO DEFINE THE LOCATION OF THE REPLACEMENT LIFT
The City of Aspen organized a one-year process to determine the location of the replacement for Lift 1A. This has
involved numerous stakeholders including the Lift One Lodge property, Aspen Skiing Company, Aspen Historical
Society, City of Aspen Departments, and Gorsuch Haus. This process originated when the land use application for
Gorsuch Haus was tabled by City Council during its review. The lift replacement component of previous Gorsuch
Haus applications and amendments was at the current site because no other lower option seemed feasible due to
approved projects, property ownership and Conservation Easements that pre-existed. Following the study of the
neighborhood by a third-party consultant, City Council selected several options to develop further.
Phase Two of the study examined the lift terminal location and design of these options in further detail. The Final
Report presented in a Council Work Session May 15, 2018 included three-dimensional studies, grading, lift profiles,
and the width of corridors for lift and skiway return. The lower lift to a terminal site at Dean Street was determined
by City Council as the location preferred. This Project has utilized information from the study to define the lift
centerline, setbacks and the ski way boundary. The Site Plan and information contained in this amended application
is consistent with the depiction in the Lift 1A Corridor Assessment. The Applicant has been supportive of the
selected option that brings the lift to Dean Street. However, to accommodate the lower replacement lift terminal,
major design programming and architectural design has been reorganized. Reference Appendix H. for the site plan
depicting the selected option, prepared by SE Group.
Figure 4. Lift 1A Corridor Context illustrates the proposed lift corridor context.
DESIGN MODIFICATIONS REQUIRED TO GORSUCH HAUS
The last Site Plan reviewed by City Council on March 27, 2017 contained two buildings with a Lodge on Lot 1 and an
Aspen Skiing Company Skier Services building on Lot 2. The proposed replacement Lift 1A terminal was located near
the existing lift location. The outdoor Public Amenity space was located on the east side of the building. The Plan
proposed to accommodate access with a transit solution and pedestrian connection via sidewalk improvements. The
Project has been modified in the following ways to accommodate the lower lift and associated skiway and base
operations:
Lift Corridor:
•The alignment of the lift corridor through the Gorsuch Haus site has shifted approximately 32-ft to the west
when compared to the originally proposed replacement location. This results in the need to move the
overall Gorsuch Haus Project west to accommodate the new lift as defined in the Lift 1A Corridor
Assessment. The lift corridor proposed is 40-ft wide to accommodate the preferred telemix lift technology
(both gondola and chairlift on a cable) and minimum setback requirements per ANSI standards as identified
in the study. The lift alignment is illustrated in the Site Plan.
09/04/2018
Gorsuch Haus Amended Application 10
Skiway:
•A skiway has been amended to accommodate a minimum 60-ft wide corridor throughout the Project site, as
determined from the study. Providing space for the skiway is a major generation of design changes to the
Gorsuch Haus including: accommodating grading for skiing, providing matching elevations to the adjacent
properties, and maintaining the width and setback of the skiway.
•Tree and shrub removal will be required south of the Proposed Lodge to facilitate ski return from the
Norway ski run to the proposed skiway.
Subdivision:
•The Subdivision Plan required modifications and permanent easements to accommodate the lift corridor
and skiway and remove impediments within the area of the Gorsuch Haus site. The Plan subdivides the site
with a provision for the lift corridor and permanent easements to ensure continued use.
Lodge Components:
•The building footprint of the Gorsuch Haus has been reconfigured; the angled wing of the building has been
straightened and redesigned to be parallel with the lift corridor.
•The eastern building face has been reduced in overall length by 35 ft since the second building is no longer
included. The amended service entry is mostly below grade, thereby not creating a building facade to the
same extent as previously shown.
•The outdoor terraces and dining previously proposed have been located further to the west to reduce the
terrace area affected by the overhead chairlift. A portion of the outdoor terrace space has been covered
with a roof structure that will provide protection from falling snow and objects onto dining area below. This
area with the roof structure will not hinder the lift operation or setback requirements.
•The amount of après ski space and some Public Amenity previously proposed is reduced at the Gorsuch
Haus site as it will now be located with the lower terminal.
Aspen Skiing Company Building:
•The two structures proposed in March 27, 2017 have been consolidated into one structure due to the
westward shifting of the corridor. The area of affordable housing, which previously was located on the
second floor of the Aspen Skiing Company building, has been included in the Lodge building.
•The program for 2,500 sf of Skier Services and Ski Patrol replacement program are associated with the lift
terminal function and are located with the lower terminal near Dean Street. Replacement of this program,
while not on the Gorsuch Haus site, will be paid for by the Gorsuch Haus at the replacement lift terminal
site.
Access and Emergency Vehicles:
•Dean Street will accommodate skier drop-off and emergency vehicles. No skier drop-off will be
accommodated at the top of South Aspen Street since it is planned at Dean with proposed loading space.

II. PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT
1.RE-ZONING REQUEST
This Application is a request to re-zone a 44,545 sf Parcel from the current designation of Conservation District (C) to
Lodge District (L). This change in zone district will be for the area indicated as Lot 1 on the Preliminary Subdivision
Plan. This is requested to be Planned Development, and the specific development standards for the Lodge District
are to be followed and documented in Chapter II. 4. Development Data of this amended application. Calculations
and Measurements (Chapter 26.575) contained in the Land Use Code as of March 27, 2016 are used in this
Application and will apply to the Project.
2.PROJECT COMPONENTS
LODGE UNITS
The number of lodging units proposed in the application totals 81 units. This represents 2 more rooms than the
previously reviewed plan (March 27,2017) and is considered positive feature for the operation of the Project as a
true Lodge. The additional lodging rooms have been included without more visible building mass because they occur
where prior retaining walls were needed to retain the slope. The configurations proposed will provide flexibility to
accommodate party size, number of occupants and family stays. Singles, Kings, Queens/Doubles will be available in
the Lodge rooms. Some rooms will have connecting doors to allow for flexible unit configurations. The hotel rooms
are located along internal corridors to allow each room to face an exterior building wall and accommodate balconies
on most rooms.
The density of the proposed development’s Lodge use is one key per 550 sf of gross lot area. These units contain a
total net livable area of 34,987 sf. The average net livable are per lodge unit is then 431.9 sf. The relevant density
and average unit size calculations are as follows:
Density
44,545 sf Gross Lot Area ÷ 81 lodge units = 550 sf of gross lot area per lodge unit
Average Unit Size
34,987 sf lodge unit net livable area ÷ 81 Lodge Units = 431.9 sf/lodge unit
The proposed development exceeds the Lodge zone district’s minimum density standard of one lodge unit per 500
sf of gross lot area that must be met to take advantage of the related incentives. This standard may be increased to
one unit per 550 sf under special review. The Density Standard for the Gorsuch Haus Planned Development is
proposed to be established at 550 sf of gross lot area per lodging key. This standard establishes qualification for
floor area and growth management incentives described in Code Section 26.710.190.E.
09/04/2018
Gorsuch Haus Amended Application 13
FREE MARKET MULTI-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL UNITS
The free market multi-family residential component consists of four (4) 3-bedroom units under 2,000 sf net livable
area for each unit. The unit size will be supported by extinguishing historic Transfer of Development Right (TDR)
certificates per Code Section 26.710.190 to increase from 1500 sf each. The floor area of the free-market residential
is 8,000 sf of net livable space and totals approximately 12% of the Project’s total Lodge unit and affordable housing
net livable area. This confirms the Project is a true operating hotel with full service amenities.
AFFORDABLE HOUSING
The amended Project accommodates one unit of 730 net livable sf on-site with additional mitigation requirements
fulfilled through the purchase of Affordable Housing Certificates, buy-down units or newly constructed and deed-
restricted units within the City of Aspen. This one-bedroom Affordable Housing is for an on-site management
employee of the hotel. The on-site unit will be a rental unit with priority given to employees of the hotel to
contribute to the long-term viability of the Lodge as encouraged by the City code. On-site parking will be provided at
one parking space per unit, and a separate private entry is provided with the unit.
COMMERCIAL USES
The Commercial floor area within the amended Project is 6,100 sf. The Project’s commercial component consists of
a restaurant and bar which will serve hotel guests as well as the public with indoor and outdoor seating. In addition
to the restaurant and dining terrace, a World Cup Terrace has been added to North Level 4 to allow causal gathering
après ski and an informal serving environment. A small retail space is also located adjacent to the ski in, ski out
world cup terrace.
LODGE AMENITIES AND NON-UNIT SPACE
The amended Project will provide on-site amenities available for hotel guests and residents. These amenities
include:
•An arrival lobby area on North Level 1 will welcome guests and provide access to the guest elevators and
gracious stairway leading to the restaurant and dining terrace on North Level 3 and the World Cup Terrace
and Lounge on North Level 4. Lobby and arrival area are classified as non-unit/support space.
•A ski concierge/outfitters and ski boot and summer recreation area will be located at North Level 4 with at-
grade access to Aspen Mountain.
•A spa, fitness room, group meeting room, and rooftop pool area are included as amenities. The hotel’s
meeting space will accommodate seasonal and shoulder season small group meetings, events and
gatherings, and can accommodate groups of differing sizes. A spa with treatment rooms, relaxation areas,
changing rooms, and a reception area located South Level 1 and a fitness room located a level below the spa
and are classified as non-unit space. Rooftop amenities will be open to the public and include a pool,
outdoor spa, and barbecue/bar area.
•The remaining floor area in the hotel is non-unit space that includes back of house, administrative offices,
laundry, storage, internal circulation and miscellaneous space designed to operate a hotel of this size.
•The parking to support the included uses are located below ground and accessed via a driveway from the
cul-de-sac at South Aspen Street.

Gorsuch Haus Amended Application 28
Page Intentionally Left Blank
ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN OF THE GORSUCH HAUS
The revised architecture of the Gorsuch Haus captures the chalet style and evokes the feel of the established alpine
architectural style. The Project includes low-pitched roofs oriented with the mountain slope that will keep the scale,
height, and mass to an appropriate level for the base area setting. This look will embody a classical mountain feeling
that is a signature of the Project. The building’s material selection and adjacent landscape design seek to blend the
building with the natural surroundings and create a pedestrian scale and feel, minimizing the visible mass of the
structure. Exterior materials include stained horizontal wood siding, wood clad windows, vertical wood posts, and
dry-stacked stone veneer. Design elements of the building include stepping of the mass, balconies, and decks that
create a relationship to the outdoor spaces, and the play of shadows and sunlight on the building.
The following amendments have been made to the design of the Gorsuch Haus to modify the mass, height, and
scale of the Project and provide for a ski lift corridor and skiway to Dean Street.
•The Lodge is the smallest that can successfully operate long-term with quality service expected in a full-
service hotel. To avoid diminished function, it is maintained as one building as it would be functionally
infeasible to accomplish multiple buildings with needs of circulation, housekeeping, room service, deliveries
among others.
•The Lodge has significant articulation of the massing. This occurs with balconies, off-sets in the building
faces, and the intermixing of sloped roofs in the building façade.
•There is an outdoor space at the midpoint of the Lodge that creates a visible separation of the building
mass. This rooftop deck, with public pool and spa amenities, divides the eastern side of the building into two
visual parts.
•The proposed building floor area does not maximize the allowable floor area permitted in the Lodge zone
district. Rather, the request for the Special Density bonus allows the site area to accomplish better site
amenity, rather than to build to a larger Floor Area.
•Where acceptable for long-term operation of a lodging facility, certain uses are located below grade such as
spa and fitness.
•The scale is benefited by the breaking up of the roof planes into three sloping roofs with dormers under low
pitched gable roofs. This creates hotel space in the structure normally used for roof and attic space but does
not create additional building mass.

LOT AREA AND FLOOR AREA
The Gross Lot Area of the Gorsuch Haus Property totals 44,545 sf. This Property total defines the exchange of
current private property and the vacation of Summit Street and the eastern one-half portion of South Aspen Street
Right-of-Way. The lot configuration also grants 3,462 sf of private property to City of Aspen Right-of Way. This
planned Right-of-Way dedication is not included in the lot area of Lot 1.
The Net Lot Area is calculated pursuant to Code Section 26.575.020 – Calculations and Measurements which
subtracts for abandoned Rights-of-Way and a percentage of steep slopes. The following summarizes the principal
deductions that have been applied to the Property to determine the Net Lot Area.
While development can occur within a vacated Rights-of-Way, vacated Rights-of-Ways cannot be used for purposes
of calculating Net Lot Area, required density, allowable floor area or required Public Amenity space. The Property’s
Net Lot Area for density purposes, therefore, consists of its Gross Lot Area less its vacated Rights-of-Way.
•Based on the survey, the Property’s Net Lot Area for density purposes is 37,734 sf after the exclusion of the
proposed Right-of-Way vacations.
Additionally, the Property’s Net Lot Area for floor area purposes consists of a required adjustment for slopes greater
than 20%. The total reduction in floor area attributable to steep slopes for any given site may not exceed 25%.
Based on the slope analysis in Figure 19, the application of slope reduction to the Property results in a 33% floor
area reduction. Therefore, the land Use Code maximum 25% reduction applies.
•The Property’s Net Lot Area for floor area purposes with the required adjustment for slopes greater than
20% is 28,301 sf.
The proposed development’s maximum allowable lodge floor area is limited to 70,751 sf as calculated below:

SETBACKS
The Project is subject to 5 ft setbacks from the property line, per the Lodge zone district. Due to the nature of the
sloping site, ski run and lift, roadways and the existing conditions between the edge of the constructed building and
the property boundaries, there shall be no limitation on the grading changes for finished grade within the setback of
any lot. Required setbacks are to be unoccupied and unobstructed, with the following allowable projection into
setbacks:
•Exceptions for stairs and retaining walls. Uncovered steps, not exceeding 30 in above or below finished
grade, are allowable projections into required setbacks; however, step improvements may exceed 30 in
below grade if necessary for the structural integrity of the improvement. The Project proposes a public
stairway on the west side of the building. This is to serve the neighborhood, skiers and provide a critical
safety egress per adopted Building Codes. The stairs and retaining wall, set on a slope, require
accommodation of a greater than 30 in below grade to connect the elevation of the cul-de-sac to the
finished floor elevation of North Level 4.
HEIGHT
The Project adheres to the intent of the Lodge zone district and complies with required maximum height limits.
Code Section 26.575.020, Calculations and Measurements, in effect as of March 2016, contains definitions and
measurement descriptions applicable to the proposed development and will be used to define the standards for this
Planned Development. To establish pre-development grade, a topographic survey certified by a registered surveyor
submitted to Community Development in April of 2016 has been utilized. The height of the structures in the
application is typically shown as the most restrictive of the natural grade, using this survey, or finished grade
measured vertically to the roof per Code Section 29.575.020. However, proposed finished grade is to be the
standard of measurement for building height of this Project.
The perimeter of the building is defined where the exterior of the building meets the ground. The height of a
building with a roof pitch of 3:12 is measured from the ground to the point of the roof vertically halfway between
the eave point and the ridge, or the midpoint. There is no limit on the height of the ridge. In compliance with Code,
instances where areas of the building greater than 15 ft from the perimeter of the building, the natural grade of the
site is to be projected up to set the allowable 40 ft height, and the Lodge will be measured using this projected
topography in place of the building perimeter. Dormers are excluded from the calculation of height if the footprint
of the dormer is 50% or less of the roof plane on which the dormer is located and the ridge of the dormer is not
higher than the ridge of the roof on which it is located per Code Section 26.575.020.F.2g. The development proposal
utilizes dormers to provide additional guest rooms without increasing the building mass.
The following describes proposed exceptions to height limitations:
•Exceptions for light wells. Light wells are not counted toward maximum permissible height. With the
proposed finished grade of the sloping site, there are six ground-level rooms with 100 sf light wells that will
be fully or partially enclosed by retaining walls but be at the same floor plane elevation of the guest room
that they surround to create a walk-out condition. These conditions are not used in the height calculation.
•Exceptions for Elevators. For Lodge buildings, elevator overruns are an allowed exception to height
limitations. Elevator enclosures may extend up to 10 ft above the specified maximum height limit. The
09/04/2018
Gorsuch Haus Amended Application 34
proposed north and south elevators and required overruns extend above the 40 ft maximum height limit,
but will not exceed 10 ft.
•Exceptions for Rooftop Railings. Rooftop railings and similar permanent rooftop amenities are permitted to
extend up to 5 ft above the height of the building at the point the railing connects. The Project proposes a
public rooftop amenity overlooking the City of Aspen. Permanent amenities include a spa, pool, bar and
firepit. A 3 ft variance to the maximum height limit of the Code Section 26.710.190.D.8e is requested to
extend the finished floor of this Public Amenity to the north and create approximately 750 sf of additional
deck for the rooftop amenity.
The elevations on Figure 20-21: Proposed Exterior Building Elevations and Appendix E.1-2 show the east and
western façade and the proposed massing of the Gorsuch Haus Mixed-Use Lodge. The proposed building has been
shortened in overall length by 35 feet. The elevations demonstrate how the building profile steps up with the slope,
ranging from two to four stories. The height of the building and the finished and natural grade are defined at the
perimeter of the building in these elevations. Height measurements are shown pursuant to Code Section 26.575.020
- Calculations and Measurements with the dimensions and methods used with specific exceptions noted.

Page Intentionally Left Blank
PUBLIC AMENITY
Vitality, hospitality and a well-designed built environment are essential components of a successful mountain base
area. This Project will provide lodging accommodations, facilitate skiing and a continuation of international ski racing
events on Aspen Mountain and support vibrant public spaces. The proposed Public Amenity orients uses toward the
skiway and the public street. The Public Amenity provision pursuant to Code Section 26.575.030 typically requires
orientation of amenities toward public Rights-Of-Way. For this Project the Public Amenity is primarily oriented
toward the ski slope since the street serves primary access and emergency access and is located on the shaded,
north side of the building site. This unique opportunity to create Public Amenity along the ski slope edge at the base
of the mountain is different than the more common situation of a street frontage downtown environment. This
orientation also captures the best views, provides visitors with engaging gathering places, and contributors to the
neighborhood revitalization.
Public Amenity oriented toward the street level includes the arrival, enlarged pedestrian walkways, hardscape
terraces and outdoor spill-out space for Lodge meeting rooms. The Public Amenity at street level connects the top
of South Aspen Street to the skiway and Lodge Public Amenities. Because Public Amenity is designed to connect
street level amenities with slopeside amenities, a grade change in excess of the 4 ft permitted will be required.
Retaining walls will also be necessary around the perimeter. Not all Public Amenity will be open to view from the
street at pedestrian level but most of these spaces will be open to view from the skiway. Additional consideration
for covered outdoor Public Amenity is requested due to the proximity of the ski lift which passes over the Public
Amenities. A terrace covered with an open sided roof structure to make the space usable and safe shall count as a
Public Amenity. The resulting Public Amenity will be a rich pedestrian use area, improving the overall public
environment and neighborhood connections.
For this Planned Development, Public Amenity includes outdoor terraces, public decks area, sidewalk and pedestrian
circulation, access to events venues or an access area to Aspen Mountain and ski runs. Rooftop recreational use
areas available to the public and operated and managed for the benefit of the hotel will be eligible as a Public
Amenity. The proposed rooftop amenities will invite the public as patrons of facilities subject to reasonable use of
the space and operation. Figure 22 illustrates the Project complies with the Public Amenity requirement that 25% of
the lot area is designated as Public Amenity. Public Amenity areas shall permit such uses and temporary lay down
space and other activities with activities associated with ski operation and events hosting.

SOUTH ASPEN STREET IMPROVEMENTS
The proposed terminus at South Aspen Street is designed to welcome all modes of transportation including
pedestrians, bicyclists, private vehicles and shuttles. The provision for a cul-de-sac and transit loading point has
been made at the top of South Aspen Street which will connect passengers to the pedestrian plaza leading to the
lift. The improvements to the terminus of the South Aspen Street cul-de-sac include a turnaround with a radius of 50
ft. The sidewalk encircling the cul-de-sac is 8 ft wide and there is 5 ft of buffer/pervious area between the back of
curb and sidewalk. This facilitates new pedestrian access to the ski slope from the adjacent neighborhood.
A separate drop-off will accommodate guest check-in, hotel shuttles, service and emergency vehicles. The typical
shuttle service, airport services and guest transport to and from the downtown core or other local destinations will
be made available to hotel guests. Other forms of transportation that have been made available like uber,
downtowner, and shared-ride services will be accommodated at the hotel guest drop-off. Auto entry to the Lodge
parking is located outside of the newly created Right-of-Way. Both valet service and self-park option will be
available with access to the sub-grade parking garage provided along the eastern edge of the cul-de-sac. Skier drop-
off was expected to take place here prior to the lower lift location. With the replacement terminal for Lift 1A being
located at Dean Street, the South Aspen Street cul-de-sac will not serve this function. Outside of the Right-of-Way,
provisions for the Aspen Skiing Company to access the Mountain is included for unloading of truck, Snow Cat
delivery, and logistics for mountain maintenance and Special Events.
SKIER ACCESS
The site design and building location accommodates returning skiers. Returning skiers will be directed to the skiway
to the eastern side of the Gorsuch Haus where a 60 ft corridor will provide access to the Lift 1A replacement
terminal at Dean Street.
ASPEN SKIING COMPANY OPERATIONS
The Applicant has worked in concert with the Aspen Skiing Company to ensure that their site access, operational
needs and capacity to host international events is accommodated. Two important features to note are the snowcat
turnaround and staging area locations. This area will also provide access to the realigned ski operations mountain
access route.
EMERGENCY ACCESS AND FIRE PROTECTION
The cul-de-sac provided completes a safe terminus to South Aspen Street for the benefit of surrounding neighbors.
Currently, emergency access to this locale is limited and inadequate. The proposed enhancements on private land
will solve emergency access issues though the installation of a cul-de-sac meeting City Engineering Standards.
Fire protection and emergency access has been a significant design consideration from the outset of the Project.
This plan proposes that emergency access will be served by the proposed 50-ft radius cul-de-sac at the top of South
Aspen Street. This 50-ft radius complies with the Engineering Design Guidelines and has been included to
accommodate the emergency services and fire protection access to the proposed Project. The building will comply
with the International Building Code’s requirements for fire protection and prevention as a Type Three commercial
building designed with primarily non-combustible construction materials and a full sprinkler system including
potential standpipes in the garage. An additional fire hydrant will be located in close proximity to the site.
09/04/2018
Gorsuch Haus Amended Application 40
A fire department connection and hydrants along the west-facing side of the Mountain Queen Condominium will be
installed. This system would be charged with water by a new fire department connection and provide water to areas
not currently available. This is a general neighborhood benefit for fire suppression and protection of the existing
structures.
TRANSPORTATION IMPACT ANALYSIS
The Gorsuch Haus is a mixed-use lodge at the western portal to Aspen Mountain. The project includes an 81-key
lodge, four free-market residential units, one affordable housing unit, a restaurant and bar and underground parking
for the uses. The new commercial net-leasable square footage totals 6,000 square feet. The lift terminal currently
located on site will be replaced at a lower Dean Street location in closer proximity to the Town Core. The Project will
accommodate a skiway for skiers returning to the lift and access points to Aspen Mountain for the neighborhood.
Additional site improvements include an enhanced pedestrian cul-de-sac and terraces serving skiers, guests of the
lodge and the general public. The project has been designed and planned to incorporate the following Multi Modal
Level of Service and Transportation Demand Management strategies to mitigate 49.82 total trips and manage the
maximum 46.9 peak hour trips that will be generated. It is the Applicant's intent to ensure that multi-modal
transportation to the site is accommodated. The Applicant will work with the Transportation Department and
adjacent land owners, including the Aspen Skiing Company, to improve transit access to the lower lift replacement
location. Reference Appendix G. for the full Transportation Impact Analysis.
OFF-STREET PARKING
The Project contains a below grade parking structure to meet the off-street parking requirements established in
Code Section 26.515 – Off Street Parking. The following table illustrates the number of required spaces and those
included in the proposed parking garage.

COST SHARING
Many project components in this application specifically reference public benefits to be provided by the applicant
and other stakeholders in the Lift Corridor. These items necessitate a cost-sharing agreement as they affect the
ability to locate the lift at the Dean street location, accommodate the return skiway, provide infrastructure
improvements, and provide public amenity. These individual references have not been included in the review
section of the application but because of its overarching nature will be applicable to this Proposed Development and
all other Stakeholders in the corridor. See Appendix I. for the draft cost-sharing proposal.
3. PROPOSED SUBDIVISION / LOT CONFIGURATION:
The Preliminary Subdivision Plat will contain 2 Lots. The Lot configuration is a rectangular parcel created from the 4
irregular shaped parcels that exist today. The Applicant proposes to vacate City of Aspen Rights-Of-Way including
the unimproved Summit Street Right-Of-Way between Parcels 1 and 2, as well as the eastern half of the
southernmost portion of South Aspen Street between the Shadow Mountain Property and the Aspen Skiing
Company Parcels.
PROPOSED SUBDIVISION
Figure 23 shows the requested lot line revisions to accommodate the Applicant’s proposed development and the ski
return to the replacement of Lift 1A at Dean Street. In summary, the Lots are intended to provide the following uses:
• Lot 1: Contains a total gross land area of 44,545 sf (1.023 acres) and will be the primary development parcel
for the Gorsuch Haus mixed-use Lodge.
• Lot 2: This represents an area of 238,189 sf (5.468 acres). This lot will contain ski facilities, ski runs, and
includes access road, ski lift and grading for the ski runs.

EXCHANGE OF RIGHT-OF-WAYS AND THE CREATION OF THE NEW PUBLIC STREET
The proposed Site Plan requires vacation of 8,206 sf of public Right-of-Way to accommodate the Lift Corridor to
Dean Street and construct an operable Lodge at the western portal to Aspen Mountain. The Project has shifted to
the west into the South Aspen Street Right-of-Way because the lift alignment that has been recommended and
endorsed by City Council (SE Group study, May 15, 2018). The Applicant proposes exchanging 3,462 sf of private
property to be dedicated to public Right-of-Way.
The vacations of the Right-of-Way are consistent with the multitude of vacations that have been granted in the area
because the platting of the Eames Third addition and most other adjacent streets were not realizable for public use
given the topographic conditions and the base conditions of the slope of Aspen Mountain. The most recent
extension of this history are the vacations from 2011 as part of the Lift One Lodge subdivision, in which multiple
Rights-of-Way were reorganized, including the vacation of the eastern side of South Aspen Street and several east-
west streets. Figure 24 illustrates the pattern of Right-Of-Way vacations that have occurred in the immediate
neighborhood.

This application makes possible all infrastructure facilities to be constructed, maintained, and remain fully in the
control of the City. The request for vacation totaling for 8,206 sf of public Right-of-Way and the Project dedication of
3,462 sf of private lands makes the terminus of South Aspen Street a reality. The purpose that may have been
served in the South Aspen Street Right-of-Way has been provided via permeant easements to the eastern side of
the mountain including Ski Lift Easement, Ski Run Easement, and surface water drainage easements. Utility provision
will occur in the existing Hill Street Right of Way with additional easements to be granted for water, sanitary sewer,
and other surface utilities.
The public benefits of the Right-Of-Way exchanges that largely can only occur through cooperative exchange of
lands include:
• Dedicate land for the construction of an improved terminus and pedestrian environment at South Aspen
Street.
• Improve alignment of utilities in this area of the of the City, particularly a 16-in water line.
• Provide a lift at Dean Street to create a new portal to the Mountain.
• Accommodate the lift corridor and skiway, essential to the Dean Street Lift placement, by shifting of the
Gorsuch Haus to the west
• Maintain public access to Aspen Mountain from the perspective of any user in any season and improved
access with pedestrian improvements between Monarch and South Aspen Street.
• Mitigate mudflow in a corridor of park land appreciably better than the limited space in this section today. A
better management plan, incorporating comprehensive research and modeling, can be achieved
cooperatively for this entire section of Aspen.
• Implementable surface water management plan for the Lift Corridor rather than a piecemeal infrastructure
replacement.
Appendix F.3 provides further detail on the ROW vacations requested.
Hill Street Right-of-Way: The Hill Street Right-of-Way shall be retained by the City of Aspen and will connect to the
proposed expanded cul-de-sac at the Top of South Aspen Street.
Summit Street Right-of-Way: The Summit Street Right-of-Way is located between the private parcels and has never
served the function of a developed Right-of-Way. Summit Street has never functioned as a public use area and is not
obtainable as a street or public corridor to Aspen Mountain due to the east/west orientation and the topographic.
The full 3,652 sf of this Right-of-Way is proposed to be abandoned.
South Aspen Street Right-of-Way: 3,462 sf of private lot area is proposed to be converted to New South Aspen
Street Right-of-Way to make it possible to terminate the Top of South Aspen Street, allowing the Engineering
standards to be met for a cul-de-sac. Vacation of the Eastern one half of the Existing South Aspen Street totaling
4,554 sf of the Right of Way is proposed for the Development of Gorsuch Haus. This vacation will match the previous
South Aspen Street vacation that was granted with the Lift One Lodge PUD approval in 2011.

The following provides updates to applicable required reviews, per the changes contained in the amended
application. The review standards for each section are provided in bold italicized text, followed by the Applicant’s
description of conformity.
1. PLANNED DEVELOPMENT PROJECT REVIEW
The application will be reviewed under the Planned Development Project Review Standards, Code Section
26.445.050. Pursuant to Code Section 26.445.040.C. Associated Reviews, the Planned Development Project Review
will be combined with the Associated Reviews outlined above.
PLANNED DEVELOPMENT PROJECT REVIEW STANDARDS (26.445.050)
The Project Review focuses on the general concept for the development and outlines any dimensional
requirements that vary from those allowed in the underlying zone district. The underlying zone district
designation shall be used as a guide, but not an absolute limitation to the dimensions which may be considered
during the development review process.
A Planned Development is required for the Project as a part of the proposed rezoning to Lodge (L) district.
A. Compliance with Adopted Regulatory Plans. The proposed development complies with applicable adopted
regulatory plans.
The proposed development complies with applicable adopted regulatory plans. The development is designed to
comply with the Lodge zone district allowances and seeks exemptions to light wells, Public Amenity, grade

Gorsuch Haus Amended Application 48
changes within setback, and rooftop amenity height. The Project will comply with the Commercial Design
Guidelines for the Mountain Base Area as described in Chapter III. 7. Commercial Design Review.
B. Development Suitability - The proposed Planned Development prohibits development on land unsuitable for
development because of natural or man-made hazards affecting the property, including flooding, mudflow,
debris flow, fault ruptures, landslides, rock or soil creep, rock falls, rock slides, mining activity including mine
waste deposit, avalanche or snowslide areas, slopes in excess of 30%, and any other natural or man-made
hazard or condition that could harm the health, safety, or welfare of the community. Affected areas may be
accepted as suitable for development if adequate mitigation techniques acceptable to the City Engineer are
proposed in compliance with Title 29 – Engineering Design Standards. Conceptual plans for mitigation
techniques may be accepted for this standard. The City Engineer may require specific designs, mitigation
techniques, and implementation timelines be defined as part of the Detailed Review and documented within a
Development Agreement.
HP Geotech and Tetra Tech were commissioned to evaluate the site for potential hazards. A summary of the
conclusions regarding those hazards that could potentially impact the site is included below. Conceptual
mitigation techniques, if necessary for the proposed development, along with the full engineering reports are
provided in the original application in Appendix B.2: Geotechnical Engineering Study and B.3: Mudflow Analysis.
Steep Slopes / Mountainside Slope Movements
A 75-ft-deep borehole inclinometer was installed on October 14, 2005 at the proposed Gorsuch Haus site
(referenced as Lift 1A Lodge in geotech report) to evaluate mountainside slope movements. After installation,
the inclinometer was surveyed annually for seven years. During this monitoring period, no slope movements
were indicated and no instability requiring mitigation measures were required. Slopes in excess of 30% are
present within the site area, however the majority of grading required for the building footprint does not impact
areas of the site where slopes are naturally 30% or greater. Slope stabilization and bracing strategies for the
proposed building where slopes exceed 30% will be required pursuant to an approved slope stabilization plan
and can be achieved using a variety of systems identified in Appendix B.2: Geotechnical Engineering Study.
Strawpile Slope Movements - Slope movements have historically been observed in the Strawpile ski run, located
in the mid-mountain area of Aspen Mountain. The evaluation prepared for this application indicates there is low
risk of this potential hazard affecting the Project site due to its significant distance from the Project site.
Mine Workings / Waste Deposits
Ground surface deformations resulting from the old underground Aspen Mountain mine workings do not
present potential risks to the buildings proposed on the site. No mining waste deposits were identified within
the Project site, and the closest mine is located approximately 550 ft to the west.
Rockfall
An evaluation of potential rockfall from the rock outcropping located near the top of the north-trending ridge
line of Aspen Mountain was completed to assess risk. With the location of existing buildings adjacent to the
Project site and the expected exposure, no additional mitigation is required.
09/04/2018
Gorsuch Haus Amended Application 49
Snow Avalanche
The US Geological Survey has mapped an area of “slopes steep enough for small avalanches under certain
conditions” located 40 to 100 ft upslope of the site. The potential risk to the proposed building is currently
mitigated by the existing buildings located to the west of the site and the avalanche-controlled Norway Slope
and Fifth Avenue ski runs (located upslope of the southern part of the site). No identified additional mitigation is
warranted.
Earthquake
Large earthquakes at a maximum probable level of around magnitude 6.5 on the two closest fault zones (30
miles to the east and 58 miles to the northeast) should not produce strong ground shaking at the Project site.
No shaking greater than that shown on the 2002 US Geological Survey National Seismic Hazards Maps is
anticipated. Facilities will be designed to withstand seismic conditions per codes applied to the Project site.
Mudflow
The Mudflow Analysis (Appendix B.3), completed by Tetra Tech, indicates Gorsuch Haus is located on the
western fringe of a mudflow path, with most of the mudflow passing to the east of the site. Under existing
conditions, the largest mudflow depths of up to 6.3 ft occur along the western side of the Mountain Queen
Condominiums. Mudflow modeling with the proposed conditions anticipates minor accumulations at the Lodge,
in the range of 0.5 to 1.0 ft. The Project will be constructed in compliance with the City’s mudflow regulations to
prevent additional impacts on downhill and surrounding properties. The building will be designed to
accommodate the mudflow depths with building penetrations (e.g. windows, doors) set at or above the design
depth to mitigate for potential mudflow and/or will utilize impact resistant glass.
C. Site Planning. The site plan is compatible with the context and visual character of the area as described in
response to code Sections 26.445.050.C below:
1. The site plan responds to the site’s natural characteristics and physical constraints such as steep slopes,
vegetation, waterways, and any natural or man-made hazards and allows development to blend in with
or enhance said features.
For many decades the site has been used for skiing and ski operations, surrounded by lodging and multi-
family development. Virtually all natural landscape features have been disturbed by the construction and
maintenance of ski runs and facilities. This historic level of disturbance is indicated in the original application
Appendix B.2. Geotechnical Engineering Study, showing that in some portions of the site, up to 8 ft of
grading has occurred. The Project area has largely become a skiway consistent with the existing landscape.
The building design responds to the site’s natural characteristics, mirroring the slope by stepping up and
back in levels that correspond to the existing grade. The building ranges between 2 and 4 stories above
grade, with the lowest stories placed higher on the slope. This approach provides the visual impression of
the building that is appropriate to the mountain setting and creates a development that functions well for
the movement of people through the site. Landscape improvements will link the architecture with the
natural aesthetic of the hillside. Choices of natural and traditional building materials, including stone, heavy
timber and glass will be compatible with the surrounding architectural styles and complement the natural
setting.

Gorsuch Haus Amended Application 50
2. The project preserves important geologic features, mature vegetation, and structures or features of the
site that have historic, cultural, visual, or ecological importance or contribute to the identity of the town.
No structures or features of historic, cultural or visual importance are present on the site (conversation with
Amy Simons, City of Aspen Historic Preservation Officer, 3-18-2015). The existing structures include the
chair lift and ski administration building. The visual qualities of these structures have not been identified as
important contributions to the identity of Aspen, and their future replacement has been anticipated in
previous community planning processes. With the new lift placement and ski corridor proposed at Dean
Street, as a visual and functional corridor, the historic view toward Aspen Mountain from Willoughby Park
will be reinforced.
As described in the initial application, an assessment has been completed and a determination made that no
geological or ecological features of importance are present on the site. The mature vegetation includes 3
cottonwood trees which will be impacted by the relocated skiway and replaced with comparable
landscaping pursuant to the requirements of the City’s Forester.
3. Buildings are oriented to public streets and are sited to reflect the neighborhood context. Buildings and
access ways are arranged to allow effective emergency, maintenance, and service vehicle access.
No street grid exists surrounding the property to dictate the building’s orientation because of the limiting
topography of this portion of the City. For this site and building, orientation to the ski area is equally
important to the street orientation. While platted as an addition to the original town site grid, as the Eames
Addition, South Aspen Street roadway improvements do not extend beyond the northern property line,
though there is Right-of-Way that extends beyond the unimproved Summit Street. The proposed building is
located at the end of South Aspen Street and is oriented at a proposed terminus. The main orientation of
the building is parallel with the South Aspen Street Right-of-Way, similar to the approved Lift One Lodge to
the north. The views up South Aspen Street will remain unobstructed with the new development.
Site access includes a constructed terminus to South Aspen Street, accommodating the Lodge’s entrance
and emergency, maintenance and service vehicles. The cul-de-sac will be built at a transitional grade, with a
radius of 50 ft. It will connect to and improve the existing entrance to Shadow Mountain Condominiums.
The drop-off and queuing of vehicles related to the Lodge will be located within a pullout adjacent to the
building and out of the public Right-of-Way, to the south of the cul-de-sac.
The South Aspen Street neighborhood includes predominantly 3-story lodging and multi-family residential
buildings set in a recreational skiing context. There is not a well-developed pedestrian system, and the
sidewalk network is incomplete. The proposed building is sited with consideration of neighboring building
views. The proposed Site Plan improves access for pedestrians (both neighbors and the public) with
generous 8-ft wide pedestrian walkways. Improvements constructed in 2018 along South Aspen Street will
link together routes for pedestrians from the downtown core and neighboring buildings to the Lodge and ski
lift.
D. Dimensions. All dimensions, including density, mass and height, shall be established during the Project
Review. A development application may request variation to any dimensional requirements of Title 26, Land
Use Regulations.
09/04/2018
Gorsuch Haus Amended Application 51
The L zone district, under which the Project seeks to be rezoned, identifies underlying dimensional requirements
for lot size, mass and scale. Exemptions from the zone district standards are being requested due to the
topography of the site, the proposed lift corridor location and skiway. The Project’s proposed dimensions are
included in Section II.4: Development Data. They align with the criteria for establishing dimensions as outlined in
section 26.445.050: Project Review Standards, reflecting an appropriate character, advancing community goals,
enhancing the identity of the neighborhood and fulfilling parking requirements. The zoning and dimensional
standards of the Planned Development help to achieve the community goals of placing skiing lower on the
mountain and replenishing Aspen’s lodging inventory and diversity. Additionally, the goal to facilitate world class
ski racing events is accommodated with improved lift access and infrastructure, as well as the provision of a mix
of lodging, services, guest and public amenities and on-site affordable housing. The site layout and building
design integrate and enhance the South Aspen Street neighborhood, welcoming access from all sides, including
the ski area.
E. Design Standards. The design of the proposed development is compatible with the context and visual
character of the area. In meeting this standard, the following criteria are used:
1. The design complies 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.
The Project has been designed to be compatible with surrounding neighborhood character. The proposed
development is subject to the Commercial Design Standards for the Mountain Base Character Area. These
are addressed in detail in Section V.7. Compliance with the Residential Design Standards and Historic
Preservation review criteria are not applicable.
2. The proposed materials are compatible with those called for in any applicable design standards, as well
as those typically seen in the immediate vicinity. Exterior materials are finalized during Detailed Review,
but review boards may set forth certain expectations or conditions related to architectural character and
exterior materials during Project Review.
The Applicant anticipates exterior materials will be stone veneer, wood siding (including heavy wood
timbers) and glass. These materials will be selected and sourced to reflect the alpine setting and traditional
alpine architecture. The stone base will tie the building into the landscape as the building steps into the
hillside. The material selection will be compatible with materials found in the surrounding neighborhood.
The architecture will be varied to create visual interest and will follow the Aspen community design
intentions.
The landscape plan incorporates hardscape materials that are high-quality, durable, contextually
appropriate and specifically detailed for commercial and civic use. Plant materials will be native and/or
hardy, providing year-round visual interest including color, texture and pattern. Final material selection for
both the architecture and the landscape will be established during the Detailed Project Review.
F. Pedestrian, Bicycle, and Transit Facilities. The development improves pedestrian, bicycle, and transit
facilities. These facilities and improvements shall be prioritized over vehicular facilities and improvements.
Any vehicular access points, or curb cuts, minimize impacts on existing or proposed pedestrian, bicycle, and
09/04/2018
Gorsuch Haus Amended Application 52
transit facilities. The City may require specific designs, mitigation techniques, and implementation timelines
be defined as part of the Detailed Review and documented within a Development Agreement.
The Planned Development seeks to address the multi-modal transportation needs of visitors, residents and
employees as well as skiers, neighbors and the public by providing a variety of options. The following are a few
key features of the site design and improvements that place emphasis on pedestrian and bicycle options
(described in greater detail in Appendix G: Transportation Impact Analysis). Additionally, the unique location of
the Gorsuch Haus Planned Development takes into consideration the connectivity needs of skiers returning
downslope to the Dean Street ski lift.
The visitor experience will be greatly improved by providing ADA access and a welcoming staircase, taking
pedestrians from South Aspen Street to the Public Amenity terraces of the Project. A proposed walkway will
provide through access in the summer, connecting to Monarch Street. The development’s streetscape and
pedestrian access points will be enhanced with landscape and pedestrian amenities (e.g. benches, shade trees,
lighting, etc.) to provide an enjoyable and hospitable experience. These will tie into the anticipated sidewalk and
street improvements to the north of the Project site, on both the east and west sides of South Aspen Street.
Bicycle parking will be located on-site to accommodate and encourage bike usage.
The design seeks to minimize the impact of Lodge and ski operations vehicle access on pedestrian flow. The
Lodge’s primary entrance is located along the southern edge of the cul-de-sac and will provide space for
separated loading and unloading associated with the Lodge. The service dock will be located off the cul-de-sac
on the eastern side, where it will have the least impact on neighboring properties.
G. Engineering Design Standards. There has been accurate identification of engineering design and mitigation
techniques necessary for development of the project to comply with the applicable requirements of Municipal
Code Title 29 – Engineering Design Standards and the City of Aspen Urban Runoff Management Plan (URMP).
The City Engineer may require specific designs, mitigation techniques, and implementation timelines be
defined as part of the Detailed Review and documented within a Development Agreement.
The proposed development will comply with the applicable requirements of the City’s Engineering Design
Standards and its Urban Runoff Management Plan. Preliminary civil engineering drawing sheets illustrate the
proposed site, grading and drainage, water quality and utility improvements as well as the details, which are will
comply with the City’s standards. See Appendix F.1-2 for an updated letter from the Project Engineer and
conceptual site improvements.
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. The City
Engineer may require specific designs, mitigation techniques, and implementation timelines be defined as part
of the Detailed Review and documented within a Development Agreement.
Upgrades and new public infrastructure improvements are approved as part of the redevelopment projects
occurring to the north of the site along South Aspen Street. The previous Engineering Report evaluated the
proposed improvements to public infrastructure and facilities serving the site, and it has been determined that
capacity will be sufficient to serve the Gorsuch Haus proposed development. The full evaluation of utilities was
09/04/2018
Gorsuch Haus Amended Application 53
provided with the previous submittal. See Appendix F.1-2 for an updated letter from the Project Engineer and
conceptual site improvements.
I. Access and Circulation. The proposed development shall have perpetual unobstructed legal vehicular access
to a public way. A proposed Planned Development shall not eliminate or obstruct legal access from a public
way to an adjacent property. All streets in a Planned Development retained under private ownership shall be
dedicated to public use to ensure adequate public and emergency access. Security/privacy gates across access
points and driveways are prohibited.
Perpetual unobstructed legal vehicular access will be maintained from the improved cul-de-sac on South Aspen
Street to the proposed Lot 1 (Gorsuch Haus) and Lot 2 (Aspen Skiing Company). The proposed development will
include a perpetual vehicular access easement across Lot 1 to provide access to Lot 2. This east-west easement
is envisioned as a private easement connecting South Aspen Street to the Mountain Access Road to enable ASC
ski operations loading, unloading and setup. This easement will transition with the seasons to provide a skiable
surface and snowcat access, staging area for event set up and take-down. The Project will additionally
accommodate a return skiway to access the Dean Street Lift via permanent easement. An existing skier and
pedestrian access easement on the Mountain Queen property will be connected to the proposed cul-de-sac
providing a through route for pedestrians in all seasons.
USE VARIATION STANDARDS - 26.445.060
The allowed uses for the L zone district are established pursuant to Code Section 26.710.19. This Project seeks no
variation to the permitted or conditional use standards.
2. GROWTH MANAGEMENT
GMQS allotments for each of the elements of the proposed Project are required, including Lodge, commercial, free-
market residential and affordable housing. The existing and proposed ski area facilities are considered commercial
space for the purposes of this section. The demolition of the existing commercial space provides a reconstruction
credit of approximately 2,070 sf and is now relocated at the Dean Street location and no longer a factor for Gorsuch
Haus.
GMQS GENERAL REQUIREMENTS - 26.470.050
B. General Standards. All development applications for growth management review shall comply with the
following general standards as well as the review criteria applicable to the specific type of development:
1. Sufficient growth management allotments are available to accommodate the proposed development,
pursuant to Subsection 26.470.030.D. Applications for multi-year development allotment, pursuant to
Paragraph 26.470.090.1 shall not be required to meet this standard.
The Project is requesting the following growth management allotments:
− Commercial: 6,100 of net leasable sf
− Residential – Free Market: 4 Units
09/04/2018
Gorsuch Haus Amended Application 54
− Residential – Affordable Housing: 1 Unit (no annual limit)
− Lodge Pillows: The proposed Lodge contains 81 lodging units, or keys, which generate 162 Lodge
pillows, with each Lodge bedroom having two (2) Lodge pillows; however, only 112 Lodge pillow
allotments are available annually. Without sufficient annual allotments, the Project is seeking a multi-
year development allotment pursuant to Code Section 26.470.090 described below.
2. The proposed development is compatible with land uses in the surrounding area, as well as with any
applicable adopted regulatory master plan.
The Gorsuch Haus Planned Development seeks to advance many of the goals established in the 2012 Aspen
Area Community Plan, especially those related to “revitalizing and sustaining the Aspen Idea”. The
proposed development is compatible with both the existing and proposed land uses in the surrounding
neighborhood. As described in Chapter II.1: Amended Project Description, the multi-family projects directly
adjacent to the site include the Mountain Queen Condominiums to the east and the Shadow Mountain
Condominiums to the west. The amended proposal for the Lift One Lodge development to the north of the
site is anticipated to include approximately 104 lodging units. The Lift One Lodge Project also contains
affordable housing and commercial spaces, including a restaurant and public parking for skiers. Other
development in the surrounding neighborhood includes One Aspen Townhomes, a mix of free-market and
affordable housing units to the northwest which is currently completing construction. The proposed
Gorsuch Haus development includes the replacement of the Lift 1A ski lift and facilities at a lower Dean
Street location, which are community amenities in this area.
3. The development conforms to the requirements and limitations of the zone district.
The proposed development involves rezoning the underlying parcels from Conservation zone district (C) to
Lodge (L) zone district, which includes all the proposed uses as permitted uses as of right, including uses
associated with recreation facilities. The development’s proposed Planned Development dimensional
standards will be established through the Project Review.
4. The proposed development is consistent with the Conceptual Historic Preservation Commission
approval, the Conceptual Commercial Design Review approval and the Planned Development – Project
Review approval, as applicable.
Conceptual Historic Preservation Commission approval is not a requirement for this Project. The proposed
development is within the Mountain Base Character Area under the City’s adopted Commercial Design
Guidelines, and therefore both the Conceptual Commercial Design Review and the Planned Development –
Project Review approvals are being requested together with the GMQS allotments, pursuant to Code
Section 26.304.060.B.1: Combined Reviews and Section 26.445.040.C.1: Associated Reviews – Project
Review Combined with Associated Reviews, under which each of the associated reviews are made as part of
one decision for the Project as a whole.
5. Unless otherwise specified in this Chapter, sixty percent (60%) of the employees generated by the
additional commercial or lodge development, according to Subsection 26.470.100.A, Employee generation
rates, are mitigated through the provision of affordable housing. The employee generation mitigation
plan shall be approved pursuant to Paragraph 26.470.070.4, Affordable housing, at a Category 4 rate as
defined in the Aspen/Pitkin County Housing Authority Guidelines, as amended. An applicant may choose
to provide mitigation units at a lower category designation. If an applicant chooses to use a Certificate of
09/04/2018
Gorsuch Haus Amended Application 55
Affordable Housing Credit as mitigation, pursuant to Chapter 26.540, such Certificate shall be
extinguished pursuant to Chapter 26.540.90 Criteria for Administrative Extinguishment of the Certificate.
With the Density Standard identified in the dimensional requirements for the Planned Development, the
Applicant proposes to mitigate the development’s affordable housing generation according to the growth
management incentives outlined in Section 26.470.070.8. With this standard, affordable housing equaling a
percentage of employees generated by additional Lodge and commercial development (26.39%) is mitigated
through the provision of affordable housing. Table 4 illustrates the Project’s employee generation and
required mitigation with these incentives applied for the proposed lodging, additional commercial net
leasable square footage and free-market residential units, as determined by Section 26.470.070.8.a.2 of the
City of Aspen Land Use Code.

Use Code. The chart requires an interpolation of the percentage of mitigation required based on the average net livable area of
the lodging units or 419.8 sf for the Gorsuch Haus development. When the average unit size falls between the square footage
categories (in this case between 400 sf and 500 sf), the required affordable housing is determined by interpolating the schedule
illustrated in the chart for Section 26.470.070.8.a.2 (in this case between 20% and 30% for the Affordable Housing Net Livable
Area required as a percent of free-market net livable area and between 20% and 40% for the percentage of employee generation
requiring the provision of mitigation).

6. Affordable housing net livable area, for which the finished floor level is at or above natural or finished
grade, whichever is higher, shall be provided in an amount equal to at least thirty percent (30%) of the
additional free-market residential net livable area, for which the finished floor level is at or above natural
or finished grade, whichever is higher.
Affordable housing shall be approved pursuant to Paragraph 26.470.070.4, Affordable housing, and be
restricted to a Category 4 rate as defined in the Aspen/Pitkin County Housing Authority Guidelines, as
amended. An applicant may choose to provide mitigation units at a lower category designation.
Affordable housing units that are being provided absent a requirement ("voluntary units") may be deed-
restricted at any level of affordability, including residential occupied. If an applicant chooses to use a
Certificate of Affordable Housing Credit as mitigation, pursuant to Chapter 26.540, such Certificate shall
be extinguished pursuant to Chapter 26.540.90 Criteria for Administrative Extinguishment of the
Certificate, utilizing the calculations in Section 26.470.100 Employee/Square Footage Conversion.
The required mitigation for the Project’s lodging use (81 total keys) is 12.82 FTEs. The net increase in
proposed basement and upper floor net leasable commercial space is 6,100 sf, which requires mitigation for
5.63 FTEs. The total required mitigation for lodge and commercial uses is therefore 20.39 FTEs. Also
illustrated in Table 5, the total net livable area for the free market units is 8,000 sf. With the density
standard mitigation percentages applied, 23.19% of the floor area, or 1,855.5 sf, are required to be
mitigated through the provision of affordable housing.

3. AH employee generation for Lodging is based off of the number of lodging units, other uses including administration, back of house, living
room, front desk, ski concierge, ski locker, valet, storage, conference space, business center, etc. are classified as accessory uses, and
therefore they do not generate employees. The spa is also under the accessory use category as it is not anticipated to be open to the public
and will serve only lodging and residential guests. Additionally, the unit space for lodging does not include circulation, mechanical, and other
space that is not included in the calculations for net livable or net leasable space.
4. Employee Generation Rate for the Lodge zone district pursuant to code section 26.470.100.A.1. Employee generation is 0.6 per lodging
bedroom and 4.7 employees generated per 1000 sf of net leasable space
5. Commercial uses include Food and Beverage, Retail, Service and Recreation. The accessory lodging uses such as the spa area and
conference facilities are not included in the mitigation for affordable housing as these are accessory lodging uses.
6. AH calculations for commercial and residential areas are based on the net leasable and net livable areas within a development as defined
Per Code Section 26.575.020.I Measurement of Net Leasable Area and Net Livable Area.
7. Section 26.470.100.A states that per the Lodge or Commercial district zoning 4.7 employees are generated per 1,000 sf of net leasable
space; however, for basement and upper floors, the rates of employee generation shall be reduced by 25% (does not apply to lodge units).
This equates to an employee generation rate of 3.525 employees per 1,000 sf of net leasable commercial space.
8. Per code section 26.470.100.A.4. Employee/square footage conversion. Whenever an affordable housing mitigation requirement is
required to be converted between a number-of-employees requirement and a square footage requirement, regardless of direction, the
following conversion factor shall be used: 1 employee equals 400 sf of net livable area.
EMPLOYEE GENERATION MITIGATION PLAN:
The Project’s employee generation mitigation plan complies with the requirements established in Code Section
26.470.070.4: Affordable Housing. The development’s proposed affordable housing will be deed-restricted to a
maximum of Category 4 price and occupancy guidelines, in accordance with the Aspen/Pitkin County Housing
Authority (APCHA) Guidelines.
Mitigation for a total of 24.46 FTEs (full time equivalents) or 9,783.27 sf of affordable housing is required and will be
fulfilled by the Applicant with a combination of on-site and off-site units. The Gorsuch Haus Project site will include
one (1) 1-bedroom affordable housing unit which totals 730 sf of net livable area. This will provide housing for 1.75
FTEs, according to APCHAs guidelines in Table VIII: APCHA Mitigation Standards. The unit is anticipated to be a rental
unit built on-site pursuant to APCHA guidelines for lodging developments.
The additional mitigation requirements (22.71 FTE OR 9,053.27 sf) will be fulfilled off-site and will comply with the
requirements outlined in the City of Aspen Land Use Code and the Employee Housing Guidelines. A combination of
approaches for the off-site housing may include the purchase of Affordable Housing Certificates, buy-down units or
newly constructed and deed-restricted units within the City of Aspen. The Applicant seeks the Housing Board’s
approval to maintain ownership and management of the off-site units, so their use is tied to employment at the
Lodge. The Applicant understands the management responsibilities of upholding compliance with APCHA eligibility
and ensuring the units remain occupied by eligible renters. In developing the affordable housing mitigation plan for
the off-site requirements, the Applicant proposes to include a conversion clause under which the units will be
placed in the for-sale lottery if compliance with APCHA’s policies is not met or the units are not rented for a year.

PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION APPLICATIONS - 26.470.070
The following types of development shall be approved, approved with conditions, or denied by the Planning and
Zoning Commission.
− 26.740.070.4 Affordable Housing
− 26.740.070.6 Expansion or New Commercial Development
− 26.740.070.7 New Free-Market Residential units within a multi-family project
− 26.740.070.8 Lodge Development - As a Lodge development, the Project complies with the
requirements outlined in Section 26.470.070.a.2 with the applicable density standard incentives as
described above.
Because this Proposal is currently tabled by City Council, the Applicant is requesting review and a decision to be
made by City Council. The Project’s Commercial and New Free Market Residential and Lodge uses comply with the
requirements of GMQS Code Section 26.470.050 General Requirements, as required for the Planning and Zoning
Commission Applications. Procedures for review and the review criteria for Affordable Housing are further described
below.
AFFORDABLE HOUSING - 26.470.070.4
a. The proposed units comply with the Guidelines of the Aspen/Pitkin County Housing Authority. A
recommendation from the Aspen/Pitkin County Housing Authority shall be required for this standard. The
Aspen/Pitkin County Housing Authority may choose to hold a public hearing with the Board of Directors.
One affordable housing unit is planned to be constructed as part of the west side of the Gorsuch Haus Lodge
building, with a private entrance at Level 2. The net livable area for the proposed affordable housing unit is
730 sf.
b. Affordable housing required for mitigation purposes shall be in the form of actual newly built units or
buy-down units. Off-site units shall be provided within the City limits. Units outside the City limits may be
accepted as mitigation by the City Council, pursuant to Paragraph 26.470.090.2. If the mitigation
requirement is less than one (1) full unit, a cash-in-lieu payment may be accepted by the Planning and
Zoning Commission upon a recommendation from the Aspen/Pitkin County Housing Authority. If the
mitigation requirement is one (1) or more units, a cash-in-lieu payment shall require City Council approval,
pursuant to Paragraph 26.470.090.3. A Certificate of Affordable Housing Credit may be used to satisfy
mitigation requirements by approval of the Community Development Department Director, pursuant to
Section 26.540.080 Extinguishment of the Certificate. Required affordable housing may be provided
through a mix of these methods.
As stated above, the Applicant proposes a mix of mitigation methods to meet Affordable Housing
requirements. The additional mitigation, which is not accommodated on-site, will be fulfilled utilizing one of
the strategies permitted by APCHA Guidelines. The options being considered to satisfy off-site mitigation
include: 1) provision of newly built, off-site affordable housing units within Aspen city limits, 2) buy-down or
conversion of existing dwelling units within Aspen city limits and/or 3) purchase of certificates of Affordable
Housing, pursuant to Code Section 26.540.080.
c. Each unit provided shall be designed such that the finished floor level of fifty percent (50%) or more of
the unit's net livable area is at or above natural or finished grade, whichever is higher. This dimensional
requirement may be varied through Special Review, Pursuant to Chapter 26.430.
09/04/2018
Gorsuch Haus Amended Application 60
The on-site affordable housing unit is designed to meet the requirement that a minimum of 50% of the
finished floor level of the unit’s net livable area is at or above natural or finished grade. The off-site units
meeting the mitigation requirements for the Gorsuch Haus Planned Development will also comply with this
standard.
The Applicant seeks the Housing Board’s approval to maintain ownership and management of the off-site
units, so their use is tied to employment at the Lodge. The Applicant understands the management
responsibilities of upholding compliance with APCHA eligibility and ensuring the units remain occupied by
eligible renters. In developing the affordable housing mitigation plan for the off-site requirements, the
Applicant proposes to include a conversion clause under which the units will be placed in the for-sale lottery
if compliance with APCHA’s policies is not met or the units are not rented for a year.
d. The proposed units shall be deed-restricted as "for sale" units and transferred to qualified purchasers
according to the Aspen/Pitkin County Housing Authority Guidelines. The owner may be entitled to select
the first purchasers, subject to the aforementioned qualifications, with approval from the Aspen/Pitkin
County Housing Authority. The deed restriction shall authorize the Aspen/Pitkin County Housing Authority
or the City to own the unit and rent it to qualified renters as defined in the Affordable Housing Guidelines
established by the Aspen/Pitkin County Housing Authority, as amended.
The proposed units may be rental units, including but not limited to rental units owned by an employer or
nonprofit organization, if a legal instrument in a form acceptable to the City Attorney ensures permanent
affordability of the units. The City encourages affordable housing units required for lodge development to
be rental units associated with the lodge operation and contributing to the long-term viability of the
lodge. Units owned by the Aspen/Pitkin County Housing Authority, the City of Aspen, Pitkin County or
other similar governmental or quasi-municipal agency shall not be subject to this mandatory "for sale"
provision.
The proposed on-site affordable housing will be a rental unit with ownership maintained by the Lodge
operation. As stated above, the Applicant’s Affordable Housing plan is to maintain ownership of the off-site
units which will be rented to employees of the lodging operation and will help ensure its long-term viability.
The owner/operator will have first priority to rent both on-site and off-site affordable housing units
associated with the Lodge, with rental contingent on employees meeting the APCHA Guidelines for
occupancy, income and assets. If no employees employed by the owner qualify, the units will be offered to
other qualified persons according to the Guidelines. The leases governing rental of the on-site unit will be
subject to approval by APCHA.
e. Non-Mitigation Affordable Housing. Affordable housing units that are not required for mitigation, but
meet the requirements of Section 26.470.070.4(a-d). The owner of such non-mitigation affordable housing
is eligible to receive a Certificate of Affordable Housing Credit pursuant to Chapter 26.540.
This criterion does not apply.
7. The project represents minimal additional demand on public infrastructure, or such additional demand is
mitigated through improvement proposed as part of the project. Public infrastructure includes, but is not
limited to, water supply, sewage treatment, energy and communication utilities, drainage control, fire and
police protection, solid waste disposal, parking and road and transit services. (Ord. No. 14, 2007, §1; Ord. No.
6 – 2010, §2; Ord. No. 3-2012 §17)

Gorsuch Haus Amended Application 61
Each of these public infrastructure elements have been addressed in greater detail in previous engineering
exhibits (see Chapter III. Proposed Development, Section 2.E and Section 4 in the original application).
Additional demand on public infrastructure will be mitigated through proposed improvements to private and
public infrastructure serving the site. The engineering letter included demonstrates the public infrastructure
improvements.
CITY COUNCIL APPLICATIONS - MULTI-YEAR DEVELOPMENT ALLOTMENT - 26.470.090
Because an insufficient allotment of lodging “pillows” is available annually, the Applicant is seeking a multi-year
development allotment, requesting 112 pillow allocations in 2019 with the remaining 51 pillow allocations allotted
the following year. The total allotment needed is 162 pillows for the proposed 81 lodging keys. The Applicant
believes the merits of the proposed development to be “exceptional” in several ways and offers demonstrable
community benefits contributing to the revitalization of the neighborhood and the western portal of Aspen
Mountain.
1. Multi-year development allotment. The City Council, upon a recommendation from the Planning and Zoning
Commission, shall approve, approve with conditions or deny a multi-year development allotment request
based on the following criteria:
a. The proposed development is considered "exceptional" considering the following criteria: (Note: A
project need not meet all of the following criteria, only enough to be sufficiently considered
"exceptional.")
1) The proposal exceeds the minimum affordable housing required for a standard project.
The proposed affordable housing satisfies the minimum affordable housing requirements.
2) The proposal furthers affordable housing goals by providing units established as priority
through the current Aspen/Pitkin County Housing Authority Guidelines and provides a desirable
mix of affordable unit types, economic levels and lifestyles (e.g., singles, seniors, families, etc.). A
recommendation from the Aspen/Pitkin County Housing Authority shall be considered for this
standard.
The Employee Generation Mitigation Plan described in III.2 of this application proposes to provide
units that meet the goals identified in the October 2015 APCHA Guidelines. The on-site and off-site
units necessary to fulfill the Applicant’s mitigation requirements will include a mix of unit types and
categories. The on-site unit exceeds the APCHA standards, offering a desirable location in the
mixed-use building, exceeding the 50% above grade and square footage requirements, providing
desirable amenities such as covered parking and the locational advantage of being in proximity to
the base of the ski area. The category designations for both on-site and off-site housing will be
determined in the Detailed Project Review, pursuant to recommendations from APCHA.
3) The proposed project represents an excellent historic preservation accomplishment. A
recommendation from the Historic Preservation Officer shall be considered for this standard.
No historic structures are included as a part of this Project; however, the design celebrates the
history of the site and the formative role the area has played in the history of skiing. The Project’s
layout memorializes and preserves the historic ski corridor and views towards Aspen Mountain from
09/04/2018
Gorsuch Haus Amended Application 62
Willoughby Park – which were important elements documented in the historic designation of the
Lift One terminal. Additionally, the architectural design and material selection will be crafted to
evoke the sense of alpine heritage that has shaped architecture within the Aspen community.
4) The proposal minimizes impacts on public infrastructure by incorporating innovative, energy-
saving techniques.
The Applicant will minimize impacts on public infrastructure through energy-saving building and
construction strategies, which are detailed in Chapter III.2.F: Sustainability Goals in the original
application. The Applicant proposes to work with adjacent property owners to provide improved
pedestrian access to the neighborhood and the ski area’s western portal and to minimize impacts on
public roads.
5) The proposal minimizes construction impacts to the extent practicable both during and after
construction.
Construction impacts will be minimized during construction and post construction. Best
management practices will be utilized for construction activity pollution prevention, including an
indoor air quality management plan that will be utilized during construction and prior to occupancy.
A construction worker carpool program will be implemented to minimize congestion into town and
local neighborhood vehicular impacts during construction.
6) The proposal maximizes potential public transit usage and minimizes reliance on the
automobile.
The Gorsuch Haus Project has pursued creative solutions to the challenge of accessing the site. The
way in which we are providing pedestrian improvements including the sidewalk enhancements,
accommodation of a skiway and providing for airport shuttle demonstrate this. The Applicant’s
proposed transportation methods are described in Appendix G: Transportation Impact Analysis.
These will exceed the required trip mitigation minimums and provide easier access to the site for
the neighborhood.
7) The proposal exceeds minimum requirements of the Efficient Building Code or for LEEDS
certification, as applicable. A recommendation from the Building Department shall be considered
for this standard.
The latest technology and high-performance design strategies will include elements such as green
roofs and daylighting to achieve a Project that excels in innovative and energy-saving techniques.
The building will be designed to exceed the Efficient Building Code, and construction will meet a
minimum LEED Silver equivalent. The architectural strategies envisioned to minimize the impact of
the Project on public water and energy infrastructure include:
Water
− Water use reduction within the building will include low-flow fixtures and appliances and
responsible operation strategies for minimizing waste.
− Water efficient landscaped areas will employ drip irrigation and native vegetation.
09/04/2018
Gorsuch Haus Amended Application 63
− On-site stormwater design and management will employ high levels of water quality measures.
Energy
− Energy performance will be optimized through efficient HVAC and lighting systems, as well as a
high-performance building envelope.
− On-site renewable energy will be achieved by employing heat recovery strategies.
− An automated lighting control system and thermal comfort systems will enhance energy-saving
features.
− An EnergySTAR appliance program will be utilized for all residential and commercial qualifying
equipment.
− Fundamental and enhanced commissioning of building energy systems.
− An enhanced refrigerant management will used as part of building operations.
8) The proposal promotes sustainability of the local economy.
This mixed-use Project will help to restore energy and vitality to one of the last developable areas
within the city. The replacement of Lift 1A is an essential step for Aspen Skiing Company and the
City to ensure that Aspen remains a viable and celebrated venue for the World Cup and future ski
races and events. International coverage of high caliber racing events, such as the World
Championships, at this improved portal to the mountain will highlight Aspen as a resort destination
and bring major winter events to Aspen. The Project will add hotel rooms to the Aspen inventory,
catering to a diverse range of interests, supporting the City’s goal to bolster Aspen’s lodging base.
Additional amenities, such as the three-meal restaurant and bar, will provide a venue for
community gathering and interaction between locals and visitors. The Project will also provide a
location for special events like weddings and conferences, which have the potential to attract off-
season visitors, sustaining a more consistent year-round economy. The lodging program will also
generate additional local sales tax for the City.
9) The proposal represents a desirable site plan and an architectural design solution.
The site design capitalizes on the qualities of its location at the edge of town and at the base of
skiing for the western side of Aspen Mountain. The building design embraces the mountain,
appropriately blending the built environment with the natural environment and surrounding
community.
The Gorsuch Haus Planned Development’s functionality as a ski area base is paramount to the
proposed site design. Community input during the site planning phases has contributed to the siting
of the renovated lift facility at Dean Street. The proposed location for loading the lift at this lower
elevation than the current Lift 1A location will be easier for skiers to access. A greatly enhanced
plaza is planned to be located with the terminal for skiers to access at Dean Street.
Care and consideration have been taken to ensure that the site is compatible with neighboring
developments to the east, west and north, creating a synergy between the established neighbors
and anticipated development. Maintaining a skiway connection from the Gorsuch Haus to the Lift
One Lodge property and the Lift 1A terminal has been achieved along the eastern edge of the site.
09/04/2018
Gorsuch Haus Amended Application 64
The site design and integrated approach to architecture will blur the boundaries between the
indoors and the outdoors, welcoming the public to engage with the site in a variety of ways. The
new public space and outdoor dining terraces, including the World Cup Terrace, create a new “living
room” for the public adjacent to the winter sports events.
10) The proposed development is compatible with the character of the existing land uses in the
surrounding area and the purpose of the underlying zone district.
The proposed Project is compatible with the character of existing land uses and the proposed Lodge
zone district; more detail on the suitability of the Project with the surrounding neighborhood is
described in Chapter III. 9. Special Review for Density Standard Incentive.
b. The project complies with all other provisions of the Land Use Code and has obtained all necessary
approvals from the Historic Preservation Commission, the Planning and Zoning Commission and the City
Council, as applicable.
The current Project Review process is underway. Approval for the multi-year development GMQS allotment
is being considered as part of the two-step Project Review process, combined with the other necessary
approvals being requested and reviewed jointly.
3. REZONING REQUEST
REZONING CONSERVATION (C) TO L (L) - 26.310.080/090
The Applicant is seeking approval to rezone a portion of the subject parcel, totaling 1.03 acres, within the ski activity
area at the base of Aspen Mountain from the Conservation (C) zone district to Lodge (L) zone district, in accordance
with Section 26.310.080 Rezoning.
Section 26.710.190 states that the purpose of the Lodge (L) zone district is “to encourage construction, renovation
and operation of lodges, tourist-oriented multi-family building through short term vacation rentals, high occupancy
timeshare facilities, and ancillary uses compatible with lodging to support and enhance the City’s resort economy.
The City encourages high-occupancy lodging development in this zone district. Therefore, certain dimensional
incentives are provided in this zone district, as well as other development incentives in Chapter 26.470, Growth
Management Quota System (GMQS)”.
The Lodge zone district is the best fit to accommodate Lot 1, the Gorsuch Haus Project and the proposed
complementary uses, including food and beverage, multi-family residential and affordable housing in addition to
supporting improvements to community recreation amenities including the ski lift and skiway.
The following proposed uses are permitted uses within Lodge (L):
− Hotel or lodge
− Timeshare lodge
− Exempt timesharing
− Office and activities accessory to timeshare unit sales Section 26.590
− Bed and breakfast
09/04/2018
Gorsuch Haus Amended Application 65
− Conference facilities
− Uses associated with outdoor recreation facilities and events
− Accessory uses and structures
− Storage accessory to a permitted use
− Affordable multi-family housing accessory to a lodging or timeshare operation and for employees of the
operation
− Free-market multi-family housing
− Home Occupations
− Vacation rentals Section 26.575.220
The following proposed uses are conditional uses within Lodge (L) Zone:
− Retail and restaurant uses
− Neighborhood commercial uses
− Service uses
− Arts, cultural and civic uses
− Public uses
The remainder of the subject parcels have been reconfigured to form Lot 2. No rezone request is being sought for
Lot 2. Over three-quarters (76%) of the subject parcels are devoted to skiable terrain, with additional land dedicated
to essential ski facilities, including a new ski lift corridor totaling 40 ft in width. The current Conservation (C) zoning
district’s purpose is to provide areas of low density development to enhance public recreation (such as parks and
golf courses), conserve natural resources, encourage the production of crops and animals, and contain urban
development. Temporary special events associated with ski areas including, but not limited to, ski races, bicycle
races and concerts are permitted uses within the Conservation Zone. Ski lift and other ski facilities are Conditional
Uses in the Conservation (C) district.
The Project is requesting the following uses currently occurring on Lot 2 continue to be permitted: alpine ski area,
related uses and support facilities typically associated with the uses and operations of a ski area, including a ski lift,
operational uses, storage; special events facilities associated with ski areas; trails and a mountain access road; and
recreational facilities.
A Planned Development has been anticipated for the site since the 2008 Lift 1A Community COWOP process, which
envisioned lodging, hotel uses, and other development associated with a ski area base. Aspen Skiing Company has
expressed that investment in replacing Lift 1A is contingent upon establishing a plan for the base area with
complementary resort and guest service uses. The rezoning to the Lodge zone district would revitalize the western
portal to the ski resort and accommodate lodging to support the and enhance Aspen Mountain and the City’s resort
economy. The rezoning is necessary to facilitate the redevelopment of Lift 1A community concept. This vision
includes lowering the lift to bring skiing into Town and enhancing Aspen’s recreation and hospitality offerings in this
area. A Planned Development that accommodates the Dean Street location is demonstrated by this proposed plan.
REZONING – STANDARDS OF REVIEW 26.310.090
To amend the official Zone District Map, the request for rezoning meets the following standards of review per the
City’s Land Use Code Section 26.310.090, as described below:
09/04/2018
Gorsuch Haus Amended Application 66
A. Compatibility with the Surrounding Zone Districts, Existing Land Uses and Neighborhood Characteristics
The Zone Districts surrounding the subject property consist of:
− Lodge (L)
− R-15 Moderate Density Residential (R-15)
− Affordable Housing (AH)
− Park (P)
− Conservation (C)
− Ski Recreation (SKI-REC) - Pitkin County Zoning
The proposed uses of the Project are uses typical of the immediate neighborhood. The surrounding lodge and
multi-family residential properties (many of which are used for short-term rentals) bordering three sides of the
site are a character intended to support the City’s resort economy and provide mountain access.
B. Extent of demands on Public Facilities Exceeding Capacity
This Project does not propose any demands beyond the capacity of existing public transportation facilities,
parks, drainage, schools and emergency medical facilities. Planned infrastructure upgrades associated with the
redevelopment projects along South Aspen Street (approved as part of the One Aspen Project) for water,
wastewater/sewage and stormwater are anticipated to have sufficient capacity to service the increased
demands resulting from the Gorsuch Haus Project. Further detail regarding the infrastructure and utilities for
the proposed Project are included in Appendix F.1-2.
C. Impacts on the natural environment
The subject property has disturbance associated with 75 years of ski and recreation activity and lift operations;
no significant natural features exist that would be impacted by a rezoning. There are no natural resources such
as streams or rivers, wildlife habitat, wetlands, or other features present that would be appropriate for
conservation. Existing trees on the site will be impacted by the proposed lift realignment; however, their
removal will be mitigated on-site.
D. Consistency and compatibility with the community character in the City and in harmony with the public
interest and the intent of this Title
Ski recreation and Lift 1A are defining features of the City of Aspen’s history and its current economic base. Lift 1
is the original ski base area of Aspen and has hosted high-level ski races since the 1950s, including the Alpine Ski
World Cup. The foundation of modern Aspen is tied to these locations as a ski destination. It is in the public
interest for this site to be zoned in accordance with supporting a vibrant ski base area, including the uses that
facilitate hosting events, serving as the community’s access point to mountain recreation and providing
hospitality services to visitors and residents. Rezoning to Lodge will also allow for an increase in Aspen’s bed
base in accordance with the community goal of providing lodging options for the many different types of Aspen
visitors.

ZONING OF VACATED AREAS - 26.710.024
Whenever any street, alley or other public way within the City is vacated by the City Council, the land on which the
street, alley or public way is located shall become a part of the zone district of the lands adjoining such street,
alley or public way. Those lands shall then become subject to the regulations that apply to that zone district. In
determining land available for development, however, vacated lands shall be excluded from the calculation of
allowable floor area, density or required open space.
Chapter II. 3. Proposed Subdivision/Lot Configuration of this application presents the request for the vacation of the
unimproved Summit Street and the eastern half of the southern 150 ft +/- of South Aspen Street. The Applicant
requests the vacated areas be zoned Lodge (L) in accordance with the code requirement along with the adjacent
proposed Lot 1, as identified in Appendix F.1-2. Pursuant to this Code section (26.710.024), no lands proposed for
vacation are included in the calculation of allowable floor area, density or required open space.

4. SUBDIVISION
The Applicant proposes to vacate adjacent unimproved Rights-Of-Way, identified in the updated letter from the
Project Engineer and the conceptual site improvements exhibit in Appendix F.1-3. These parcels will be combined
with existing Parcels 1 and 2, Block 12 Eames Addition and Block 10 Eames Addition. Parcels 1 through 4 with the
vacated Rights-of-Way will be combined and subdivided into two lots within the Gorsuch Haus Planned
Development, according to the review procedures and criteria listed below. The Applicant also proposes to dedicate
3,462 sf from existing Parcel 1 to the City to facilitate a full City of Aspen standard radius cul-de-sac and complete a
terminus South Aspen Street.
The proposed vehicular Right-of-Way abandonments, identified on Appendix F.3., include the following parcels
which would be vacated to the benefit of Aspen Skiing Company, the current owners of Parcels 1 and 2, Eames
Addition Block 10 and 12, respectively:
- Parcel A – Northern portion of South Aspen Street – vacated to Block 10 Eames Addition
- Parcel B – Southern portion of South Aspen Street – vacated to Block 12 Eames Addition
- Parcel C – Northern portion of Summit Street – vacated to Block 10 Eames Addition
- Parcel D – Southern portion of Summit Street – vacated to Block 12 Eames Addition
The vacation of Summit Street between Eames Addition Blocks 10 and 12 would eliminate the need for the 90-ft-
wide Ski Easement that is currently in place over the Right-of-Way, documented in Book 259, Page 85, to the benefit
of Aspen Skiing Company. The proposed vacation of the eastern half of South Aspen Street is consistent with the
approvals granted to the Lift One Lodge Planned Development and the subsequent public infrastructure plan.
The Gorsuch Haus Planned Development will include easements and dedications to ensure Lots 1 and 2 meet the
needs of existing and future property owners and the public while ensuring that public and private easements that
currently exist on site are carried forward. Easements placed upon Lots 1 and 2 will allow for public utilities, public
access, ski facilities and skiway, temporary construction activity, landscaping and drainage and other activities as
described in the Notes under the Certificate of Ownership and Dedication on Appendix F.1-3. There are utilities that
exist within the Hill Street Right-of-Way that will remain and be reserved for municipal use with the granting of
appropriate easements.
Easements will be needed, as documented on Appendix F.1-3., to accommodate the unique circumstances present
in the Gorsuch Haus Planned Development area. These will be documented and recorded with the final plat and will
be adopted through a Master Easement Agreement. A temporary grading and construction activity easement on
each lot will be needed to accommodate construction schedules.
All subdivisions shall be required to conform to the general standards and limitations as defined in Code Section
26.480.040 of the Land Use Code in addition to the specific standards applicable to each type of subdivision
proposed. The Gorsuch Haus Planned Development is subject to the requirements of Code Section 26.480.050.C –
Administrative Subdivisions, Boundary Adjustment and Section 26.480.070.B – Major Subdivisions – Land
Subdivision (Lot Merger and Vehicular Rights-of-Way).
09/04/2018
Gorsuch Haus Amended Application 70
GENERAL SUBDIVISION REVIEW STANDARDS - 26.480.040
A. Guaranteed Access to a Public Way. All subdivided lots must have perpetual unobstructed legal vehicular
access to a public way. A proposed subdivision shall not eliminate or obstruct legal vehicular access from a
public way to an adjacent property. All streets in a Subdivision retained under private ownership shall be
dedicated to public use to ensure adequate public and emergency access. Security/privacy gates across access
points and driveways are prohibited.
Lot 1 will have direct vehicular access provided from the South Aspen Street Right-of-Way. The access to Lot 2
will be provided by a vehicular access easement aligning with the proposed location of the mountain operations
road. This access easement will be entirely located on Lot 1 outside of the public Hill Street ROW. Lot 1 also has
frontage on the Hill Street Right-of-Way.
B. Alignment with Original Townsite Plat. The proposed lot lines shall approximate, to the extent practical, the
platting of the Original Aspen Townsite, and additions thereto, as applicable to the subject land. Minor
deviations from the original platting lines to accommodate significant features of the site may be approved.
To the extent practical, the proposed subdivision aligns with the 18 original townsite parcels on Parcels 1 and 2,
which contain the majority of the proposed development. The Lot is a north-south rectangle, aligned as
topography permits with the existing Townsite. It is impractical to fully align with the Original Townsite Plat. Due
to the site’s location at the toe of the slope and the unique configuration of the improvements related to skiing,
the Applicant proposes some deviations from the original plat to accommodate ski area facilities, including the
skiway and return to serve the Lift One Property, other downslope neighbors and the lift terminal.
C. Zoning Conformance. All new lots shall conform to the requirements of the zone district in which the
property is situated, including variations and variances approved pursuant to this Title. A single lot shall not
be located in more than one zone district unless unique circumstances dictate. A rezoning application may be
considered concurrently with subdivision review.
A Rezoning Application is being considered concurrent with the Subdivision Review and is further detailed in
Section 3, Rezoning. The Applicant proposes to rezone newly created Lot 1, inclusive of the vacated Rights-of-
Way described above, as Lodge (L) zone district. This rezoning is consistent with the zone district of the
surrounding neighborhood.
D. Existing Structures, Uses, and Non-Conformities. A subdivision shall not create or increase the non-
conformity of a use, structure or parcel. A rezoning application or other mechanism to correct the non-
conforming nature of a use, structure, or parcel may be considered concurrently. In the case where an existing
structure or use occupies a site eligible for subdivision, the structure need not be demolished, and the use
need not be discontinued prior to application for subdivision.
If approval of a subdivision creates a non-conforming structure or use, including a structure spanning a parcel
boundary, such structure or use may continue until recordation of the subdivision plat. Alternatively, the City
may accept certain assurance that the non-conformities will be remedied after recordation of the subdivision
plat. Such assurances shall be reflected in a development agreement or other legal mechanism acceptable to
the City Attorney and may be time-bound or secured with a financial surety.

The subdivision does not create or increase a non-conforming use, structure or parcel. All Lodge improvements
are contained within Lot 1.
ADMINISTRATIVE SUBDIVISIONS, 26.480.050.
C. Boundary Adjustment. An adjustment of a lot line between contiguous lots shall be approved, approved
with conditions, or denied by the Community Development Director, pursuant to Section 26.480.030,
Procedures for Review, according to the following standards:
The Applicant’s proposal to merge the 4 parcels and adjust the boundary between them to create 2 different
lots may occur administratively in accordance with Code Section 26.480.050.C. However, pursuant to Staff’s
recommendation, this request shall be reviewed concurrently per the Major Subdivision criteria included below
and reviewed by City Council together with the other approvals requested herein.
MAJOR SUBDIVISIONS - 26.480.070
The following subdivisions shall be approved, approved with conditions, or denied by the City Council, after
receiving a recommendation from the Planning and Zoning Commission. Major subdivisions are subject to Section
26.480.030 – Procedures for Review, the standards and limitations of Section 26.480.040 – General Subdivision
Review Standards, and the standards and limitations of each type of subdivision, described below. All subdivisions
not defined as administrative or minor subdivisions shall be considered major subdivisions.
A. Land Subdivision. The division or aggregation of land for the purpose of creating individual lots or parcels
shall be approved, approved with conditions, or denied according to the following standards:
1. The proposed subdivision complies with the requirements of Section 26.480.040 – General Subdivision
Review Standards.
Compliance with the requirements of Code Section 26.480.040 – General Subdivision Review Standards is
detailed in the section above.
2. The proposed subdivision enables an efficient pattern of development that optimizes the use of the
limited amount of land available for development.
The proposed subdivision presents an efficient pattern of development as an extension of the existing city
grid, with redevelopment and improvements to the existing Eames Addition lots. The subdivision will
require minor extensions to public utilities, the cost of which will be the responsibility of the Applicant. The
density of the Project is based on not exceeding 550 sf of gross land area per lodging unit, a Lodge standard
that represents the encouragement of efficient use of land.
The existing City grid is impractical to extend on slopes that require roadways in excess of 16% grades. In
modern times, the streets have not functioned as a grid and have been reoriented as the City has developed
since the Mountain topography has been a significant factor.
3. The proposed subdivision preserves important geologic features, mature vegetation, and structures or
features of the site that have historic, cultural, visual, or ecological importance or contribute to the
identity of the town.
09/04/2018
Gorsuch Haus Amended Application 72
This criterion is satisfied as described in the response to Planned Development Review criteria in Chapter III.
1. of this application.
4. The proposed subdivision prohibits development on land unsuitable for development because of natural
or man-made hazards affecting the property, including flooding, mudflow, debris flow, fault ruptures,
landslides, rock or soil creep, rock falls, rock slides, mining activity including mine waste deposit,
avalanche or snowslide areas, slopes in excess of 30%, and any other natural or man-made hazard or
condition that could harm the health, safety, or welfare of the community. Affected areas may be
accepted as suitable for development if adequate mitigation techniques acceptable to the City Engineer
are proposed in compliance with Title 29 – Engineering Design Standards. Conceptual plans for mitigation
techniques may be accepted with specific design details and timing of implementation addressed through
a Development Agreement pursuant to Chapter 26.490 – Approval Documents.
This criterion is satisfied as described in the response to Planned Development Review criteria in Chapter III.
1. of this application.
5. 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).
The City Engineer may require specific designs, mitigation techniques, and implementation timelines be
defined and documented within a Development Agreement.
This criterion is satisfied as described in the response to Planned Development Review criteria in Chapter III.
1. of this application.
6. The proposed subdivision shall upgrade public infrastructure and facilities necessary to serve the
subdivision.
This criterion is satisfied as described in the response to Planned Development Review criteria in Chapter III.
1. of this application.
7. The proposed subdivision is exempt from or has been granted all growth management approvals
pursuant to Chapter 26.470 – Growth Management Quota System, including compliance with all
affordable housing requirements for new and replacement development as applicable.
Growth Management approvals are being sought concurrently with Subdivision approvals as a part of this
combined review. The criteria satisfying this Code Section is detailed in Chapter III. 2. of this application.
8. The proposed subdivision meets the School Land Dedication requirements of Chapter 26.620 and any
land proposed for dedication meets the criteria for land acceptance pursuant to said Chapter.
Pursuant to the requirements of Chapter 26.620 – School Land Dedication – the student generation for the
proposed 4 free market and 1 affordable housing dwelling unit, based on the square footage allocation and
the student generation rates described totals 2.49 students. The Applicant proposes to fulfill this
requirement by paying the cash-in-lieu fee, as allowed for by the Code.
9. A Subdivision Plat shall be reviewed and recorded in the office of the Pitkin County Clerk and Recorder,
pursuant to Chapter 26.490 – Approval Documents.
09/04/2018
Gorsuch Haus Amended Application 73
The Draft Gorsuch Haus PD/Subdivision Plat is included as Appendix F.3 of this application, which shall be
finalized and recorded pursuant to Chapter 26.490.
10. A Development Agreement shall be reviewed and recorded in the office of the Pitkin County Clerk and
Recorder, pursuant to Chapter 26.490 – Approval Documents.
At the appropriate time, the Development Agreement documentation will be recorded in the office of the
Pitkin County Clerk and Recorder.
B. Vehicular Rights-of-Way. The dedication, boundary alteration, realignment, or any partial or whole
vacation of a Street, Alley, or other vehicular Right-of-Way serving more than one parcel, shall be approved,
approved with conditions, or denied according to the following standards:
1. The proposed change maintains or improves the public health, safety, and welfare of the community
and is in the best interests of the City of Aspen.
The proposed Right-of-Way vacations as identified on Appendix F.3 prepared by Sopris Engineering,
including portions of Summit Street and South Aspen Street, serve the best interests of the City of Aspen.
The portion of South Aspen Street proposed for vacation, Parcels A and B is currently closed to public access
via an electronic gate, limiting access to the ski operations road which traverses Government Lot 31 owned
by Aspen Skiing Company. The Summit Street Rights-of-Way are unimproved in their current state and do
not provide through connections as a part of the city’s street grid. Private improvements proposed as a part
of the Gorsuch Haus Planned Development will enhance the pedestrian experience in this corridor and will
continue to allow for underground utilities with the dedication of applicable easements to ensure these
services continue to be provided. With these Right-of-Ways incorporated into the Gorsuch Haus Planned
Development, more site area is available to accommodate public areas, such as the slopeside terraces on
the east side of the Project and the pedestrian and ski corridor along the western edge of the site.
2. The proposed change to the public rights-of-way maintains or improves safe physical and legal access
from a public way to all adjacent properties and shall not restrict the ability for a property to develop by
eliminating or hindering access. Redundant access, such as a primary street access plus alley access, is
preferred.
The proposed Right-of-Way vacations maintain safe physical and legal access to the proposed Lots 1 and 2
from the cul-de-sac of South Aspen Street. The proposed Right-of-Way exchange granting private property
to the City of Aspen will facilitate development of a much-needed terminus to South Aspen Street that
includes a 50-ft turning radius and meets all Engineering Design Standards.
3. The design of the proposed change complies with Municipal Code Title 29 – Engineering Design
Standards and is consistent with applicable adopted policies, plans, and approved projects for the area
(such as a highway access policy, an approved development project, an infrastructure plan, a trails plan,
an improvement district plan, and the like).
The design of the proposed Right-of-Way vacations will comply with the Engineering Design Standards or
provide alternative strategies to address site constraints, as approved by the City Engineer.
These proposed vacations are consistent with the approvals granted to the Lift One Lodge Planned
Development to the north of the property. The adjacent project vacated the eastern half of South Aspen
09/04/2018
Gorsuch Haus Amended Application 74
Street and the northern half of the Hill Street Right-of-Way. The Gorsuch Haus Planned Development is
therefore consistent with previous approvals and configuration of private and public properties. The Summit
Street Right-of-Way is unimproved and not currently accessible to the public and does not provide any
public services.
4. The proposed change maintains or improves normal traffic circulation, traffic control capabilities,
access by emergency and service vehicles, pedestrian and bike connections, drainage infrastructure, street
and infrastructure maintenance needs, and normal operating needs of the City including snow removal.
None of the proposed vacations impact current traffic patterns as they are not currently improved
roadways. Access along the northern boundary of Lot 1 will be improved from its current state to provide
vehicular access and cul-de-sac dimensions, pursuant to the Design Standards. The proposed changes to the
vacated Rights-of-Way and improvements to the remaining South Aspen Street Right-of-Way will greatly
enhance pedestrian access to the site and improve emergency and vehicular access. The improvements for
the terminus of South Aspen Street, which will remain public Right-of-Way, will accommodate a 50 ft radius
cul-de-sace, 5 ft buffer and 8 ft sidewalk pursuant to the City’s engineering design guidelines; a portion of
the existing parcels will be dedicated to the City of Aspen to enable the construction of the full radius.
5. For all new rights-of-way and physical changes to existing rights-of-way, the applicant shall design and
construct the proposed Right-of-Way improvements according to the design and construction standards of
the City Engineer. Upon completion, the Right-of-Way improvements shall be subject to inspection and
acceptance by the City Engineer. The City may require a performance warranty. The requirements of this
criterion shall be reflected in a Development Agreement.
The Applicant agrees to comply with this Code section and will work with the City Engineer to design and
construct the Right-of-Way at the terminus to South Aspen Street to serve the needs of the public,
neighboring developments and the access requirements and design standards identified in the Engineering
Design Standards and Urban Runoff Management Plan.
6. For partial or full vacation of existing rights-of-way, the applicant shall demonstrate the Right-of-Way,
or portion thereof, has no current or future use to the community as a vehicular way, pedestrian or bike
way, utility corridor, drainage corridor, or recreational connection due to dimensions, location,
topography, existing or proposed development, or other similar circumstances. The City shall consider
whether the interests of the applicant and the City can be achieved through a “closure” of the Right-of-
Way.
The Applicant believes the above requirements have been met for each of the proposed Rights-Of-Way
within the Gorsuch Haus Planned Development. For Parcels A and B (identified on Appendix F.3), the portion
of South Aspen Street proposed for vacation represents the terminus of the Right-of-Way. This limited
segment of public Right-of-Way has been closed to public access by an electronic gate for a number of
years, limiting its utility as a vehicular access route. The Shadow Mountain Condominiums hold a revocable
license agreement on the western portion of the Right-of-Way for their private improvements, further
illustrating that this final stretch of South Aspen Street has limited current use to the community as a
vehicular way. Public drainage and/or utilities can still be accommodated on the western portion of the
Right-of-Way, which is not proposed to be vacated as shown on the Appendix F.3.
09/04/2018
Gorsuch Haus Amended Application 75
Parcels C and D make up the Summit Street Right-of-Way between Block 10 and Block 12 of the Eames
Addition. This Right-of-Way is unimproved and dead-ends into Government Lot 1, owned by Aspen Skiing
Company. It has no primary use except as a tentative ski-way.
7. A Right-of-Way Dedication/Vacation Plat shall be reviewed and recorded in the office of the Pitkin
County Clerk and Recorder, pursuant to Chapter 26.490 – Approval Documents. The plat shall demonstrate
how the lands underlying vacated rights-of-way shall accrue to adjacent parcels in compliance with State
Statute.
The Draft Gorsuch Haus PD/Subdivision Plat is included as Appendix F.3 of this application, which shall be
reviewed and recorded pursuant to Chapter 26.490.
8. A Development Agreement shall be reviewed and recorded in the office of the Pitkin County Clerk and
Recorder, pursuant to Chapter 26.490 – Approval Documents. This requirement may be waived if no Right-
of-Way construction is proposed.
At the appropriate time, the Development Agreement documentation will be recorded in the office of the
Pitkin County Clerk and Recorder.

5. DEVELOPMENT IN ENVIRONMENTALLY SENSITIVE AREAS (ESA)
8040 GREEN LINE REVIEW - 26.435.030
No development shall be permitted at, above or one hundred fifty (150) ft below the 8040 Greenline unless the
Planning and Zoning Commission makes a determination that the proposed development complies with all
requirements set forth below (26.435.030.C). The Gorsuch Haus development complies with all requirements, as
detailed below.
C. Greenline Review Standards. No development shall be permitted at, or above or one hundred and fifty feet
below the 8040 Greenline unless Planning and Zoning Commission makes a determination that the proposed
development complies with all the requirements set forth below:
1. The parcel on which the proposed development is to be located is suitable for development considering
its slope, ground stability characteristics, including mine subsidence and the possibility of mudflow, rock
falls and avalanche dangers. If the parcel is found to contain hazardous or toxic soils, the applicant shall
stabilize and revegetate the soils or, where necessary, cause them to be removed from the site to a
location acceptable to the City.
The parcel suitability and mitigation of hazards are described in the original Project Application in the
following appendices: Appendix B.2: Geotechnical Engineering Study and Hazards Analysis and B.3: Mudflow
Analysis. Slopes, ground stability characteristics, possible mudflow, rock falls and avalanche dangers are
avoided or mitigated with the site preparation and design. Furthermore, the slope stability has been
reviewed over a 7-year period. No hazards exist which cannot be mitigated through design strategies to
make the site unsuitable for development.
2. The proposed development does not have a significant adverse effect on the natural watershed, runoff,
drainage, soil erosion or have consequent effects of water pollution.
The proposed development does not have a significant adverse effect on the natural watershed, runoff,
drainage, soil erosion or have consequent effects of water pollution. Runoff, drainage and soil stabilization
design is described in the original Project Application in the following appendices: Appendix B.2:
Geotechnical Engineering Study and B.3: Mudflow Analysis. The urban runoff plan for the site will contribute
to improved water quality for this site.
3. The proposed development does not have a significant adverse effect on the air quality in the City.
The proposed development does not have a significant adverse effect on the air quality in the City.
Construction dust mitigation measures will be described in the Detailed Review Planned Development
application. Transportation Demand Management and Multi-modal site design strategies, as described in
09/04/2018
Gorsuch Haus Amended Application 78
the updated Appendix G. Transportation Impact Analysis, will minimize vehicle trips and provide
connectivity to transit and pedestrian areas in downtown Aspen.
4. The design and location of any proposed development, road or trail is compatible with the terrain on
the parcel on which the proposed development is to be located.
The existing topography of the site predominately contains slopes of 20% grade with some portions of the
site exceeding 30% slopes (on the ski area). The architectural design of the Project steps with grade levels in
adaptation to the sloping topography and avoids naturally occurring steep grades. The relocation of the
Aspen Skiing Company mountain operations road presents an improvement to terrain compatibility, with
more moderate grades. No new roads or trails are proposed on the site requiring terrain compatibility to be
addressed.
5. Any grading will minimize, to the extent practicable, disturbance to the terrain, vegetation and natural
land features.
Significant existing vegetation on the site is limited to a group of three large cottonwoods which will need to
be removed to accommodate the new lift alignment and required 40 ft setback and airspace clearance per
ANSI. In addition, 8 spruce trees adjacent to the site’s northeastern boundary and a handful of other trees
scattered across Lots 1 and 2 will need to be removed. A portion of the shrubs on Lot 2, to the south of the
building, will require removal to facilitate return skiing from the Norway ski run to the skiway to the west of
the Project. All of the trees removed will be mitigated on-site as part of the landscape plan to the greatest
extent possible while taking skier and pedestrian safety into consideration. No significant natural land
features exist on the site requiring avoidance. The slope of the site will be maintained; the proposed grading
is consistent to ski area use for runs and ski trails. Naturally occurring slopes in excess of 45% are not
involved in the building Project.
6. The placement and clustering of structures will minimize the need for roads, limit cutting and grading,
maintain open space and preserve the mountain as a scenic resource.
The structure is massed in one location on the site to reduce the amount of grading required and allow
uphill views from Dean Street, through the skiway and lift corridor. Additionally, views up South Aspen
Street will not be impacted by the proposed development. The proposed Project matches the western
façade of the proposed Lift One Lodge Project downhill on South Aspen Street. No road extension is
proposed. Rather, the Project proposed a terminus to South Aspen Street marking the point where the City
core meets Aspen Mountain. Preservation of the skiable terrain and the mountain as a resource across Lots
1 and 2 will maintain most of the mountain’s existing conditions.
7. Building height and bulk will be minimized and the structure will be designed to blend into the open
character of the mountain.
The building steps back and up (south) with the slope to minimize height and bulk and the impact on views
from neighboring properties. The design strategically locates the restaurant and public serving uses on the
eastern length of the Project to site the uses in a compatible location with the proposed skiway and
maintain the privacy of nearby Shadow Mountain Condominiums. The on-mountain restaurant and terraces
in this location will be a community asset, inviting both visitors and locals to take in the views of the ski area
to the southeast. The proposed development is consistent with comparable lodging properties within the
09/04/2018
Gorsuch Haus Amended Application 79
City and incorporates chalet-style sloped roofs and multiple building heights to avoid poorly designed
“blocky” architecture. These design considerations address the desire for the architecture to blend into the
alpine character of the mountain. The Building’s Proposed Exterior Elevations have been updated in the this
amended application and are included as Appendix E.1-2.
8. Sufficient water pressure and other utilities are available to service the proposed development.
Appendix B.1: Engineering Report, contained in the original Application, and supplemented by Appendix F.1
Conceptual Engineering Letter describes how water pressure will be accommodated through the installation
of a private water pressure boosting facility. Additional utilities are planned to be upgraded with sufficient
capacity to service the proposed development as described in the report.
9. Adequate roads are available to serve the proposed development and said roads can be properly
maintained.
The proposed Project is located at the terminus of South Aspen Street, which has sufficient roadway to
serve the development. Developments approved for construction along South Aspen Street have
established street maintenance agreements to ensure safe travel along this roadway is accommodated with
appropriate maintenance.
10. Adequate ingress and egress is available to the proposed development so as to ensure adequate
access for fire protection and snow removal equipment.
Improved ingress and egress for emergency services and road maintenance vehicles for the Gorsuch Haus
Planned Development as well as adjacent properties will be provided with the completion of the South
Aspen Street cul-de-sac. The proposed cul-de-sac will provide access for fire protection. More details
regarding the provision of emergency access to the site are described in Chapter III.2 – Growth
Management.
The public Right-of-Way, upon the requested exchanges, at South Aspen Street will be maintained by the
City of Aspen. The public use areas in the Planned Development that are privately owned will be maintained
privately.
11. The adopted regulatory plans of the Open Space and Trails Board are implemented in the proposed
development, to the greatest extent practical.
No adopted regulatory plans of the Open Space and Trails Board impact the site. The site design does
accommodate pedestrian and skier access to the lift plaza at Dean Street through the easements that bisect
the Lift One Lodge Project to the north and the proposed easements described as part of the Planned
Development in Appendix F.1 Conceptual Engineering Letter.
MOUNTAIN VIEW PLANE REVIEW - 26.435.050
The Gorsuch Haus Planned Development endeavors to fulfill the intent of the mountain view plane review.
26.435.010 C. Development within designated mountain view planes as set forth in Section 26.435.050 shall
be subject to heightened review so as to protect mountain views from obstruction, strengthen the
09/04/2018
Gorsuch Haus Amended Application 80
environmental and aesthetic character of the City, maintain property values and enhance the City's tourist
industry by maintaining the City's heritage as a mountain community.
The site falls within two designated mountain view planes; the Wheeler Opera House and Main Street view
planes. Views from the Wheeler Opera House and Main Street were both examined to determine the impact the
proposed Gorsuch Haus development will have upon these views. Results of the analysis are discussed below.
26.435.050 C. Mountain view plane review standards. No development shall be permitted within a mountain
view plane unless the Planning and Zoning Commission makes a determination that the proposed
development complies with all requirements set forth below.
1. No mountain view plane is infringed upon, except as provided below.
When any mountain view plane projects at such an angle so as to reduce the maximum allowable building
height otherwise provided for in this Title, development shall proceed according to the provisions of
Chapter 26.445 as a Planned Development so as to provide for maximum flexibility in building design with
special consideration to bulk and height, open space and pedestrian space and similarly to permit
variations in lot area, lot width, yard and building height requirements and view plane height limitations.
The Planning and Zoning Commission, after considering a recommendation from the Community
Development Department, may exempt a development from being processed as a Planned Development
when the Planning and Zoning Commission determines that the proposed development has a minimal
effect on the view plane.
When any proposed development infringes upon a designated view plane, but is located in front of
another development which already blocks the same view plane, the Planning and Zoning Commission
shall consider whether or not the proposed development will further infringe upon the view plane and the
likelihood that redevelopment of the adjacent structure will occur to re-open the view plane. In the event
the proposed development does not further infringe upon the view plane and re-redevelopment to reopen
the view plane cannot be anticipated, the Planning and Zoning Commission shall exempt the development
from the requirements of this Section.
Sections were prepared utilizing the City’s GIS view planes and wireframe buildings as a method to describe
the Project from the view plane points. In 2016 the View Plane revisions of the Land Use Code established a
new method that included foreground, mid-ground, and background areas. The proposed development is
within the background area of the Wheeler Opera House view plane point. The analysis indicates minor and
insignificant view plane infringement from the Wheeler Opera House and only would effect the background
area. Many other existing and proposed buildings within the City obscure the proposed development behind
building facades. See Figure 26 and Large Format Exhibit F.5 for the view plane analysis completed by Sopris
Engineering updated for this Amended Application. Main Street view plane, according to the City’s GIS
model, the proposed structures are located below the Main Street view plane and will not be visible from
this vantage point.

6. PUBLIC AMENITY
PUBLIC AMENITY 26.525.030
B. Applicability and requirement. The requirements of this Section shall apply to the development of all
commercial, lodging and mixed-use development within the CC, C-1, MU, NC, S/C/I, L, CL, LP and LO Zone
Districts. This area represents the City's primary pedestrian-oriented downtown, as well as important mixed-
use, service and lodging neighborhoods. Twenty-five percent (25%) of each parcel within the applicable area
shall be provided as public amenity Right-of-Way. For redevelopment of parcels on which less than this
twenty-five percent (25%) currently exists, the existing (prior to redevelopment) percentage shall be the
effective requirement, provided that no less than ten percent (10%) is required. A reduction in the required
public amenity may be allowed as provided in Subsection 26.575.030.D, Reduction of requirement. Exempt
from these provisions shall be development consisting entirely of residential uses. Also exempt from these
provisions shall be additions to an existing building where no change to the building footprint is proposed.
Vacated rights-of-way shall be excluded from public amenity calculations.
The proposed development is located within an area proposed for rezoning to Lodge (L). Public Amenity space is
a requirement. The Applicant seeks to meet the intent of this code section with the dimensional standards as
outlined in Chapter III of this application by providing a minimum of twenty five percent (25%) of the site as
Public Amenity space on Lot 1. In total, the Public Amenity provided on Lot 1 amounts to 15,518 sf. Small
portions of this Public Amenity space are located in Rights-of-Way proposed to be vacated and therefore must
be excluded from the total Public Amenity calculation. Following this reduction, the Public Amenity provided on
Lot 1 totals 13,783 sf and meets the required 25% minimum. These areas are depicted on Figure 22: Public
Amenity in Chapter II. Proposed Development.
C. Provision of public amenity. The Planning and Zoning Commission or Historic Preservation Commission,
pursuant to the review procedures and criteria of Chapter 26.412, Commercial Design Review, shall determine
the appropriate method or combination of methods for providing this required amenity.
Public Amenity Space standards, pursuant to Code Section 26.412.060, require creative, well-designed public
places and settings that contribute to an attractive, exciting and vital downtown retail district and pleasant
pedestrian shopping and entertainment atmosphere. Public amenity can take the form of physical or operation
improvements to public Rights-of-Way or private property within commercial areas. The Applicant proposes a
combination of on-site Public Amenity spaces that allow for a variety of uses and activities to occur and
improved connections through the site to contribute to the Portal’s vitality and create an interconnected
network of pedestrian and recreational spaces. The Gorsuch Haus Planned Development Site Plan incorporates
many elements that have public benefits tailored to the unique location and connections to the lift and ski area
at Aspen Mountain’s western portal. These improvements include:
- Public arrival and drop-off to the Gorsuch Haus and enhanced pedestrian connections and amenities
encircling the cul-de-sac at the arrival outside of Right-of-Way
- Public stairway to the slopeside terraces
- Outdoor dining terraces and patio spaces
09/04/2018
Gorsuch Haus Amended Application 84
- World Cup terrace bar and event spectator space
- Skier return and mountain access stairway connection
- Aspen Mountain skiway connecting skiers from the neighborhood to Dean Street as well as repeat skiers
- Pedestrian corridor along the northern edge of the Planned Development, which connects to the “Skier
and Pedestrian Easement” through the Mountain Queen Condominium Property
F. Design and operational standards for public amenity. Public amenity, on all privately owned land in which
public amenity is required, shall comply with the following provisions and limitations:
1. Open to view. Public amenity areas shall be open to view from the street at pedestrian level, which
view need not be measured at right angles.
Due to the unique site location at the base of the mountain, not all of the Public Amenity space will be
visible from the street level at the terminus of South Aspen Street. However, all of the amenity space not
visible from South Aspen Street will be visible from the ski area and will foster an interesting and improved
base area experience. The view from the skiway returning skiers to the Dean Street Lift 1A replacement
location is arguably as important as the view from the South Aspen Street cul-de-sac. Elements that will be
visible from South Aspen Street include: the skiway connecting skiers to Dean Street, the public arrival to
the Lodge, the Norway stair connection, and pedestrian stairway leading to the dining terraces and outdoor
patios. Elements that will be visible from the skiway include the outdoor dining terraces and outdoor patios,
the World Cup terrace and spectator area, and a portion of the public rooftop deck amenity. For these
elements not open to view from the street at the pedestrian level of South Aspen Street, signage and
landscaping strategies will direct the public to these exciting and entertaining spaces.
2. Open to sky. Public amenity areas shall be open to the sky. Temporary and seasonal coverings, such as
umbrellas and retractable canopies, are permitted. Such nonpermanent structures shall not be considered
a reduction in public amenity on the parcel.
Trellis structures shall only be permitted in conjunction with commercial restaurant uses on a designated
historic landmark or within Historic Overlay Zones, and must be approved pursuant to review
requirements contained in Chapter 26.415, Development Involving the Aspen Inventory of Historic
Landmark Sites and Structures or Development within an Historic Overlay District. Such approved
structures shall not be considered a reduction in public amenity on the parcel.
This requirement is largely satisfied wherever feasible. It is desired by the Applicant to provide Public
Amenity areas that are open to the sky and seek to maximize scenic views of the mountain. However,
permanent coverings are anticipated on a portion of the World Cup terrace and the slopeside dining
terraces to enhance safety of guests and prevent falling object and, or snow from the lift corridor overhead.
Temporary or seasonal coverings, such as umbrellas and canopies, may be included for purposes of shade
and precipitation protection.
3. No walls/enclosures. Public amenity areas shall not be enclosed. Temporary structures, tents, air
exchange entries, plastic canopy walls and similar devices designed to enclose the space are prohibited.
Low fences or walls shall only be permitted within or around the perimeter of public space if such
structures shall permit views from the street into and throughout the public space.
09/04/2018
Gorsuch Haus Amended Application 85
Low walls or railings are proposed in locations that require enclosure for safety purposes due to grade
changes. The design seeks to minimize walls as much as possible on this steep hillside to allow for access
and views to the mountain from the public space.
4. Prohibited uses. Public amenity areas shall not be used as storage areas, utility/trash service areas,
delivery areas or parking areas or contain structures of any type, except as specifically provided for herein.
The Applicant believes this criteria to be met as storage and loading areas are not included as Public
Amenity areas within the Planned Development.
5. Grade limitations. Required public amenity shall not be more than four (4) feet above or two (2) feet
below the existing grade of the street or sidewalk which abuts the public space, unless the public amenity
space shall follow undisturbed natural grade, in which case there shall be no limit on the extent to which it
is above or below the existing grade of the street, or if a second level public amenity space is approved by
the Commission.
The dining terraces and outdoor patios provided as Public Amenity space are designed for slopeside skier
access. The requirement for Public Amenity space to relate to street or sidewalk grade is impossible to
maintain at the Project site. As Aspen Mountain begins to climb, the terraces begin to exceed 4 ft from the
proposed South Aspen Street terminus due to existing slope and ski conditions. However, the terraces are
accessible at-grade from the skiway which is the true amenity focus of the redevelopment.
6. Pedestrian links. In the event that the City shall have adopted a trail plan incorporating mid-block
pedestrian links, any required public space must, if the City shall so elect, be applied and dedicated for
such use.
The Project site is not located in an area identified in a City adopted trail plan that incorporates a mid-block
pedestrian link.
7. Landscaping plan. Prior to issuance of a building permit, the Community Development Director shall
require site plans and drawings of any required public amenity area, including a landscaping plan and a
bond in a satisfactory form and amount to ensure compliance with any public amenity requirements
under this Title.
More detailed plans, including a landscaping plan, and the bond will be provided prior to building permit
issuance, in compliance with Public Amenity requirements.
8. Maintenance of landscaping. Whenever the landscaping required herein is not maintained, the Chief
Building Official, after thirty (30) days' written notice to the owner or occupant of the property, may
revoke the certificate of occupancy until said party complies with the landscaping requirements of this
Section.
The property owners will provide for all landscape maintenance outside of the public Right-of-Way.
9. Outdoor Merchandising on Private Property. Private property may be utilized for merchandising
purposes by those businesses located adjacent to and on the same parcel as the outdoor space. This shall
not grant transient sales from peddlers who are not associated with an adjacent commercial operation;
this includes service uses such as massage, tarot card reading, aura analysis, etc. Outdoor merchandising
shall be directly associated with the adjacent business and shall not permit stand-alone operations,
09/04/2018
Gorsuch Haus Amended Application 86
including, but not limited to, automated bike rental racks, movie rental kiosks, automated dog washes, or
automated massage furniture.
Outdoor merchandising will occur in a similar manner, but at a smaller scale, to the permitted activities at
Aspen Gondola Plaza, adhering to all requirements within this section of the Code.
10. Outdoor Restaurant Seating on Private Property. Private Property may be used for commercial
restaurant use if adequate pedestrian and emergency vehicle access is maintained. Umbrellas, retractable
canopies, and similar devices are permitted for commercial restaurant uses.
Outdoor seating will be provided at the plaza area and will conform to the requirements of this section.
Adequate pedestrian and emergency vehicle access will be maintained.
11. Design guideline compliance. The design of the public amenity shall meet the parameters of the
Commercial, Lodging and Historic District Design Objectives and Guidelines.
The focus for providing Public Amenity at this site is on enhancing permeability and connections to adjacent
streets, open space and public trails and improving circulation, which are the identified priorities in the
City’s Design Guidelines for the Mountain Base Character Area. The Applicant feels that the 4 specific Design
Objectives (4.6 – 4.9) for the Mountain Base Character have been met to the greatest extent possible and
highlight the site’s natural features and open areas relating to the skiway. These Design Objectives include:
4.6 Locate Public Amenity Space such that it is conveniently accessible.
Public amenity space is accessible directly off of the proposed cul-de-sac of South Aspen Street.
Grade changes have been minimized to the greatest extent possible to facilitate access to the
slopeside terraces from South Aspen Street with a welcoming stairway, and an at-grade access is
also provided from the skiway that continues down to connect with the Dean Street lift terminal.
4.7 Locate Public Amenity Space such that it is visible from the public way and takes advantage of solar
potential for outdoor activities related to hotels.
Compliance with this criterion is described above.
4.8 Provide pedestrian ways that accommodate convenient access.
The pedestrian walkway connection at South Aspen Street would enhance convenient pedestrian
access. Both neighbors and guests would be provided at-grade access to the skiway from the
northeast corner of the cul-de-sac, via connecting staircase. These access points provide convenient
and permanent public access to the site’s Public Amenity spaces at the base of the ski slope.
4.9 Provide Public Amenity Space which accommodates outdoor dining space adjacent or close to and
directly visible from the public way.
Outdoor dining space at the plaza area is designed to be ski-in/ski-out, at-grade with the slope on
the southeast side of the building. With the ski area amenity, the Applicant proposes that this
location meets the intent of this guideline as it is applied to the distinctive setting of the site.

Gorsuch Haus Amended Application 87
7. COMMERCIAL DESIGN REVIEW
Chapter 26.412 applies to all commercial, lodging and mixed-used development with a commercial component
within the City requiring a building permit. All applicable sections of the Chapter are addressed, and the
requirements satisfied, as detailed below.
REVIEW CRITERIA (26.412.050)
An application for commercial design review may be approved, approved with conditions or denied based on
conformance with the following criteria:
A. The proposed development meets the requirements of Section 26.412.060, Commercial design standards, or
any deviation from the standards provides a more appealing pattern of development considering the context
in which the development is proposed and the purpose of the particular standard. Unique site constraints can
justify a deviation from the standards. Compliance with Section 26.412.070, Suggested design elements, is not
required but may be used to justify a deviation from the standards.
Responses to Code Sections 26.412.060-070 are outlined below.
B. For proposed development converting an existing structure to commercial use, the proposed development
meets the requirements of Section 26.412.060, Commercial design standards, to the greatest extent practical.
Changes to the façade of the building may be required to comply with this Section.
This criterion is not applicable as the proposal is for a new structure.
C. The application shall comply with the guidelines within the Commercial, Lodging and Historic District Design
Objectives and Guidelines as determined by the appropriate Commission. The guidelines set forth design
review criteria, standards and guidelines that are to be used in making determinations of appropriateness.
The City shall determine when a proposal is in compliance with the criteria, standards and guidelines.
Although these criteria, standards and guidelines are relatively comprehensive, there may be circumstances
where alternative ways of meeting the intent of the policy objectives might be identified. In such a case, the
City must determine that the intent of the guideline is still met, albeit through alternative means.
The Project’s compliance with the Commercial Design Guidelines for the Mountain Base Area is outlined below.
COMMERCIAL DESIGN STANDARDS - 26.412.060
A. Public Amenity Space. Creative, well-designed public places and settings contribute to an attractive,
exciting and vital downtown retail district and a pleasant pedestrian shopping and entertainment
atmosphere. Public amenity can take the form of physical or operational improvements to public rights-of-
way or private property within commercial areas.
On parcels required to provide public amenity, pursuant to Section 26.575.030, Public amenity, the following
standards shall apply to the provision of such amenity. Acceptance of the method or combination of methods
of providing the public amenity shall be at the option of the Planning and Zoning Commission or the Historic
09/04/2018
Gorsuch Haus Amended Application 88
Preservation Commission, as applicable, according to the procedures herein and according to the following
standards:
1. The dimensions of any proposed on-site public amenity sufficiently allow for a variety of uses and
activities to occur, considering any expected tenant and future potential tenants and uses.
The Public Amenity spaces described above are designed for year-round use. The terraces, outdoor patios
and World Cup après ski deck are designed to be welcoming, festive and attractive spaces for the public,
skiers, Lodge guests and residents. The size of the spaces and location at multiple levels as the proposed
Project rises with the slope offers a Lodge guests and visitors a variety of experiences from spill-out meeting
space, slopeside dining and rooftop views at the pool deck. This Project will bring a new vitality to the
neighborhood a variety of uses and activities. In addition, completing a pedestrian-friendly South Aspen
Street with sidewalks provides an opportunity to enhance the connections to the proposed Public Amenity
from existing and future users in the neighborhood.
2. The public amenity contributes to an active street vitality. To accomplish this characteristic, public
seating, outdoor restaurant seating or similar active uses, shade trees, solar access, view orientation and
simple at-grade relationships with adjacent rights-of-way are encouraged.
Since a formalized street grid does not exist in this area, the extension and improvements of the South
Aspen Street cul-de-sac will create a more walkable and vibrant neighborhood. The Project’s stairways are
oriented and designed around the proposed terminus at South Aspen Street to allow the public walkways to
serve as the visible and practical connection between the Project’s public amenities and the South Aspen
Street Right-of-Way. Public amenities at the Project site are largely oriented to face the skiway returning
skiers to Dean Street to allow for on-snow connectivity, however, these spaces are intended to be partially
visible from the South Aspen Street cul-de-sac. The pedestrian experience on South Aspen Street will
provide the type of Public Amenity space typical of a ski base area with public seating, pedestrian scale
lighting, landscaping and solar access.
3. The public amenity and the design and operating characteristics of adjacent structures, rights-of-way
and uses contribute to an inviting pedestrian environment.
The relationship of the surrounding structures to the Public Amenity space is considerate of public
circulation patterns. New sidewalks are proposed at the cul-de-sac and as a connection between South
Aspen and Monarch Streets. The service entry and garage are located to minimize their impact on the
pedestrian environment and discreetly designed to blend within the architecture. Both service entry and
structural parking are enclosed, improving the visual environment. Other pathways will extend from the
Gorsuch Haus staircase, reaching upslope to connect to the race finish area as needed for winter events.
4. The proposed amenity does not duplicate existing pedestrian space created by malls, sidewalks or
adjacent property, or such duplication does not detract from the pedestrian environment.
The proposed public amenities are scaled and designed for this specific mountain access portal.
Appreciation for the intimate, relaxed setting of existing Lift 1A skier access will not be lost with this
proposed development. The proposed amenity seeks to complement and become an extension of the
amenities provided on neighboring properties. Design of the Project does not seek to duplicate the public
experience that will be provided below the site at the new lift base area at Dean Street. Instead, the Project
09/04/2018
Gorsuch Haus Amended Application 89
takes advantage of its upslope location and provides Public Amenity space like the World Cup terrace, which
offers upslope views of race events, and the rooftop deck, which provides a publicly accessible views into
town and up to Red Mountain.
5. Any variation to the design and operational standards for public amenity, Subsection 26.575.030.F.,
promotes the purpose of the public amenity requirements.
Section 26.575.030.F Design and Operational Standards for Public Amenity are described in the responses to
the Public Amenity Code section described above in Section 6.F of this application.
B. Utility, delivery and trash service provision (26.412.060.B). When the necessary logistical elements of a
commercial building are well designed, the building can better contribute to the overall success of the district.
Poor logistics of one (1) building can detract from the quality of surrounding properties. Efficient delivery and
trash areas are important to the function of alleyways. The following standards shall apply:
Commercial Design Standards Section 26.412.060.B. are satisfied as described in the responses to the Code
section below:
1. A trash and recycle service area shall be accommodated on all projects and shall meet the minimum size
and location standards established by Title 12, Solid Waste, of the Municipal Code, unless otherwise
established according to said Chapter.
Code Sections 12.10.030.a/b. require 20 linear ft adjacent to the alleyway and 15 ft in depth, with 10 ft of
vertical clearance to be reserved for trash and recycling facilities. This requires a total of 301.5 sf of space.
The proposed trash and recycling area serving the hotel, commercial and residential components of the
Project meet the required dimensions with greater than the minimum 10-ft vertical clearance
accommodated.
Special Review pursuant to Section 12.10.080 from the Environmental Health Department is required
pursuant to Code Section 12.10.030.C, as no alleyway is present within or adjacent to the site.
Section 12.10.080 - Special Review states that The City of Aspen Environmental Health Department may
reduce the required dimensions of the trash and recycling area or may approve a trash and recycling area
with a different configuration by Special Review and in accordance with the standards set forth below in
Subsection 12.10.080.C
The proposed dimensions of the trash and recycling area exceed the 301.5 sf required; however, because
there is no alleyway present within or adjacent to the property, a Special Review is required. The floor plan
in Appendix D.1: Architectural Floor Plans North Level 1 demonstrates the proposed location of the trash
and recycling area which is anticipated to serve the Project. This area will be accessed from the South Aspen
Street cul-de-sac directly adjacent to the service entry, providing access for truck service. Trash and
recycling will be stored within the service bay on rolling containers. The grades from the service dock to the
pick-up points are flat and will provide unimpeded obstacles to the daily management of trash and recycling
services. Tenants will use this centralized service area for all uses within the Project. The Project contains an
internal system of service corridors that connect all spaces in the Project to the service and trash dock area.
An external door will assist with access to the trash and receiving dock area and the public street providing
access to residential units.
09/04/2018
Gorsuch Haus Amended Application 90
2. A utility area shall be accommodated on all projects and shall meet the minimum standards established
by Title 25, Utilities, of the Municipal Code, the City’s Electric Distribution Standards, and the National
Electric Code, unless otherwise established according to said Codes.
The Project will meet the specified codes.
3. All utility, trash and recycle service areas shall be co-located and combined to the greatest extent
practical.
The proposed trash areas are co-located internal to the building, meeting this requirement.
4. If the property adjoins an alleyway, the utility, trash and recycle service areas shall be along and
accessed from the alleyway, unless otherwise approved through Title 12, Solid Waste, of the Municipal
Code, or through Chapter 26.430, Special Review.
No alleyway is present; therefore, this requirement has been met as described above under criterial 1.
5. All utility, trash and recycle service areas shall be fenced so as not to be visible from the street, unless
they are entirely located on an alleyway or otherwise approved though Title 12, Solid Waste, of the
Municipal Code, or through Chapter 26.430, Special Review. All fences shall be six (6) feet high from
grade, shall be of sound construction, and shall be no less than ninety percent (90%) opaque, unless
otherwise varied through Chapter 26.430, Special Review.
The utility, trash and recycle service area is proposed to be located adjacent to the service dock within the
building; therefore, it will not be visible from the street.
6. Whenever utility, trash, and recycle service areas are required to be provided abutting an alley, other
portions of a building may extend to the rear property line if otherwise allowed by this Title, provided that
the utility, trash and recycle area is located at grade and accessible to the alley.
No alleyway is present; therefore, this requirement has been met as described above under criterial 1.
7. All utility service pedestals shall be located on private property. Easements shall allow for service
provider access. Encroachments into the alleyway shall be minimized to the extent practical and should
only be necessary when existing site conditions, such as an historic resource, dictate such encroachment.
All encroachments shall be properly licensed.
The provision of utility pedestals includes public Right-of-Way and private property with appropriate
easements to be granted.
8. All commercial and lodging buildings shall provide a delivery area. The delivery area shall be located
along the alley if an alley adjoins the property. The delivery area shall be accessible to all tenant spaces of
the building in a manner that meets the requirements of the International Building Code Chapters 10 and
11 as adopted and amended by the City of Aspen. All non-ground floor commercial spaces shall have
access to an elevator or dumbwaiter for delivery access. Alleyways (vehicular rights-of-way) may not be
utilized as pathways (pedestrian rights-of-way) to meet the requirements of the International Building
Code. Any truck loading facility shall be an integral component of the building. Shared facilities are highly
encouraged.
09/04/2018
Gorsuch Haus Amended Application 91
The commercial and lodging building delivery area is located at-grade and is accessible in a manner that will
meet the International Building Code as adopted and amended by the City of Aspen. Non-ground level
commercial uses are served by interior service areas and service elevators.
9. All commercial tenant spaces located on the ground floor in excess of 1,500 square feet shall contain a
vestibule (double set of doors) developed internal to the structure to meet the requirements of the
International Energy Conservation Code as adopted and amended by the City of Aspen, or an air curtain.
This requirement has been met with the use of an air curtain on the restaurant level. Other locations are
smaller than 1,500 sf or meet the requirement for a vestibule.
10. Mechanical exhaust, including parking garage ventilation, shall be vented through the roof. The
exhaust equipment shall be located as far away from the street as practical.
Mechanical exhaust, including parking garage ventilation, occurs through the roof and does not output to
the street.
11. Mechanical ventilation equipment and ducting shall be accommodated internally within the building
and/or located on the roof, minimized to the extent practical and recessed behind a parapet wall or other
screening device such that it shall not be visible from a public Right-of-Way at a pedestrian level. New
buildings shall reserve adequate space for future ventilation and ducting needs.
Mechanical ventilation equipment is accommodated within the structure and is not visible from the public
Right-of-Way at a pedestrian level. The air handling from the parking garage will occur at-grade. A special
review will be required for this air handling system at-grade.
SUGGESTED DESIGN ELEMENTS. (26.412.070)
The suggested design elements in Section 26.412.070 (Signage, Display Windows, and Lighting), along with the
proposed development’s compliance are summarized as follows:
The following guidelines are building practices suggested by the City, but are not mandatory. In many
circumstances, compliance with these practices may not produce the most desired development, and project
designers should use their best judgment.
A. Signage. Signage should be integrated with the building to the extent possible. Integrated signage areas
already meeting the City's requirements for size, etc., may minimize new tenant signage compliance issues.
Common tenant listing areas also serves a public way-finding function, especially for office uses. Signs should
not block design details of the building on which they are placed. Compliance with the City's sign code is
mandatory
The Project will comply with all signage requirements, which will be addressed in the Final Commercial Design
Review submission. Signage and wayfinding are visualized to be appropriate scale for the need, attached to the
building structure and sized for pedestrian use.
B. Display windows. Display windows provide pedestrian interest and can contribute to the success of the
retail space. Providing windows that reveal inside activity of the store can provide this pedestrian interest.
09/04/2018
Gorsuch Haus Amended Application 92
No display windows are proposed. A permeable façade will be provided on the slopeside terrace level to provide
visual interest and expose the uses inside.
C. Lighting. Well-lit (meaning quality, not quantity) display windows along the first floor create pedestrian
interest after business hours. Dynamic lighting methods designed to catch attention can cheapen the quality
of the downtown retail environment. Illuminating certain important building elements can provide an
interesting effect. Significant light trespass should be avoided. Illuminating the entire building should be
avoided. Compliance with the City's Outdoor lighting code, Section 26.575.150 of this Title, is mandatory.
The Project will comply with lighting requirements, which will be detailed in the Final Commercial Design Review
submission.
COMMERCIAL, LODGING AND HISTORIC DISTRICT DESIGN OBJECTIVES
The Project site is located in the Mountain Base (MB) Character Area, as identified in the City of Aspen Commercial,
Lodging and Historic District Design Objectives and Guidelines. The applicable design guidelines (Street & Alley
System, Parking, Topography, Public Amenity Space, Building Placement, Building Height, Mass & Scale) addressed
at the Conceptual Commercial Design Review stage are outlined below, along with the proposed Project’s approach
to these guidelines.
The Mountain Base Character Area consists of the majority of the extensively developed Lodge Zone District,
and is isolated between the commercial center and the base of the mountain. It is roughly bounded by Dean
Street to the south. It is the concentrated focus of lodge development for the ski resort economy.
The steeply rising terrain and its edge-of-city location produced a street network which departs from the grid.
Although elements of the street pattern are initially evident, this is replaced first by an extended rectilinear
form, and then by a more 'organic', curvilinear pattern. Block sizes also increase before the pattern is no
longer evident approaching the base of the mountain. The drama of the terrain and a more natural open
landscape introduce both constraint and opportunity in the form and design of future development. The
Mountain Base Area includes the greatest concentration of the most intensively developed sites within the
city, with some buildings rising to four stories.
The steep topography creates the opportunity for visual presence but, concomitantly, increases the challenge
of reducing the apparent scale of a building. Building scale is much greater than elsewhere, but is also
extremely varied, with smaller and often older development within close proximity to more recent and much
more extensive hotel buildings. The relationship between building and street is adversely affected where the
lodge is excavated into the slope and set back and below the adjacent street level. Building materials cover a
wide spectrum, from brickwork and natural stonework through other masonry to increasing use of woodwork.
The district character, street pattern and building character described in the Design Objectives and Guidelines
section appropriately describe the proposed Project context.
Design Objectives
09/04/2018
Gorsuch Haus Amended Application 93
1. Provide a pedestrian-friendly street edge. Detached sidewalks with street landscaping are characteristic
and should be encouraged. Where development abuts a street it should address the street, provide
architectural interest and convey a human scale. The intent is to provide compatible transitions to the
natural edges of these areas while creating pedestrian-friendly walkways along the more urban streets.
The entrance to the mixed-use Lodge is located at the southern end of the South Aspen Street cul-de-sac
and will be framed by an attractive, human scale canopy area and framed by 2 and 3-story building
elements. Sidewalk connections will be provided along the edge of a 5 ft buffer encircling the cul-de-sac,
providing a sidewalk and pedestrian-friendly access from neighboring properties.
2. Provide a sense of human scale. New development should establish a close relationship with the street
frontage. Buildings should be articulated to reduce the apparent scale of larger development. This should
be the case for all street façades and also for the buildings profile as viewed against the mountain side.
Articulation and stepping of the building structure provide a human scale and avoids the feeling of a
monolithic building. Architectural layering with components such as window boxes, building articulation,
shadow patterns, material selection and placement create a human scale to the building.
3. Encourage pedestrian serving uses at the street level. Cafes, bars and other pedestrian and public
serving uses should be located at the street level to help encourage pedestrian activity and animate the
area.
The food and beverage offerings of the Project are not located along a public street. Instead, outdoor dining
is accessible through convenient at-grade connections to the skiway. It is the opinion of the Applicant that
the skiway is just as important of an area to encourage pedestrian connectivity as the South Aspen Street
terminus. The public spaces are designed to encourage pedestrian activity and animate the area. Seasonally
appropriate food/coffee carts have the potential to supplement the public spaces at South Aspen Street for
skiers accessing the skiway from the cul-de-sac.
4. Reflect the natural topography. This area is one where topography and a more natural setting
increasingly influence the form and location of development. It is important that new development step in
height in accordance with the natural topography. Within this area a building should also respect natural
contours and scenic vistas.
The proposed structure steps in height in accordance with the natural topography to provide compatibility
with the surrounding mountain. Generous window openings provide the public with scenic vistas.
5. Provide an interconnected pedestrian circulation system. New development should make provision for
access through and between sites. This ensures an adequate balance between public and private realm as
to avoid excessive privatization. Additional public access to mountain side and public trails should be
provided. Visual access through and between sites is a priority to maintain direct visual and physical
connection with the setting.
Improving existing public access to the mountain is a primary goal of this development. The proposed South
Aspen Street terminus, sidewalks, and improved ski access seek to enhance mountain access for the public.
Connections to neighboring pedestrian ways and direct pedestrian access is provided to the winter sports
venue higher on Aspen Mountain. A visual connection to the mountain is also an important attribute of the
architectural design.
09/04/2018
Gorsuch Haus Amended Application 94
6. Maintain views to the mountain and other natural features. The area will continue to experience
pressure for increased and enhanced hotel and lodging accommodation space and facilities. As this occurs,
views through properties should be provided.
The view corridors from both Willoughby Park and up from South Aspen Street will be preserved with the
building’s placement. Additionally, as demonstrated in the Section 5 of this Chapter, the City’s protected
view planes will not be impacted by the proposed development.
CONCEPTUAL REVIEW DESIGN GUIDELINES
A. Street & Alley Systems
4.1 Provide pedestrian ways through a property that will connect to public sidewalks and trails.
Pedestrian circulation is provided via the pedestrian walkway, lift plaza and proposed sidewalks on the
eastern edge of the proposed South Aspen Street cul-de-sac. These pathways link to ski trails and the street
network, connecting to the skier and pedestrian access easement which connects to Monarch Street and
the pathways originating in Willoughby Park.
B. Parking
4.2 Minimize the visual impacts of parking.
4.3 Structured parking access shall not have a negative impact on the character of the street.
All parking is placed within a structure so that the visual impact of parking is minimized, and the site is most
efficiently utilized, with a focus on pedestrians and human scale. The parking structure entrance is offset
from the terminus of South Aspen Street and the structure is integrated into the overall development.
C. Topography
4.4 A building on a sloping site should be designed to reduce the perceived mass and scale and reflect the
natural slope of the site.
4.5 Design a building to integrate with the natural landscape.
The building façade at the site entrance steps in relation to the steep slopes of the site. The building height
steps with the topography. The roof form is segmented to create the appearance of distinct building
components. A range of materials and details are utilized on the façade to express this modulation. The
south side of the building is integrated into the ski mountain base, and favorable views of Aspen Mountain
are captured. The natural setting is also addressed with the use of compatible materials such as stone,
wood, and appropriate choices in landscape materials. Additionally, public access through and adjacent to
the site seeks to connect people with this natural landscape.
D. Public Amenity Space
4.6 Locate Public Amenity Space such that it is conveniently accessible.
4.7 Locate Public Amenity Space such that it is visible from the public way and takes advantage of solar
potential for outdoor activities related to hotels.
09/04/2018
Gorsuch Haus Amended Application 95
4.8 Provide pedestrian ways that accommodate convenient access.
4.9 Provide Public Amenity Space which accommodates outdoor dining space adjacent or close to and
directly visible from the public way.
See Section 6: Public Amenity Space.
E. Building Placement
4.10 Use setbacks to reduce building scale, enhance public access and accommodate landscaping where
appropriate.
4.11 Orient a primary entrance to face the street or an area of open space adjacent to the street.
The Lodge’s primary entry is facing South Aspen Street. The building placement avoids views of the skiway
as seen from South Aspen Street. There will also be an entrance provided off of the skier plaza into the
lounge area of the Lodge. The primary entrance for the restaurant will be provided facing the ski area.
F. Building Height, Mass & Scale
4.12 A new building or addition should reflect the range and variation in building height of the Mountain
Base Area.
4.13 Incorporate varied heights of building components in a development.
4.14 Provide variation in building height and roof profile
The natural setting and mountain topography dictate the building heights and location of the building’s
massing. Wall planes and building components vary in setback and orientation. Multiple roof profiles
include gabled roof forms and stepped greenroofs. The face of the building’s alignment changes position,
adapting to topography and use which has the effect of scaling the main buildings mass to a minimum
possible size. These elements are described in greater detail in Chapter II.2.

8. OFF STREET PARKING
B. Requirements for expansion/redevelopment of existing development. No development shall reduce the
number of existing off-street parking spaces below the minimum number of existing spaces required herein
for that development, unless expressly exempted by this Chapter. If existing development is expanded,
additional off-street parking spaces shall be provided for that increment of the expansion as if it is a separate
development. An existing deficit of parking may be maintained when a property is redeveloped.
The proposed development satisfies the City’s parking requirements as described in Chapter II. 2. Off-Street
Parking of this application.
CHARACTERISTICS OF OFF-STREET PARKING SPACES - 26.515.020
A. General. Each off-street parking space shall consist of an open area measuring eight and one half (8½) feet
wide by eighteen (18) feet long and seven (7) feet high with a maximum slope of twelve percent (12%) in any
one direction… Off-street parking must be paved with all weather surfacing or be covered with gravel… All
parking shall be maintained in a usable condition at all times.
The parking stall size, grade and surface condition meet the requirements of this section.
B. Location of off-street parking. Off-street parking shall be located on the same parcel as the principal use or
an adjacent parcel under the same ownership as the lot occupied by the principal use. For all uses, parking
shall be accessed from an alley or secondary road, where one (1) exists unless otherwise established according
to this Chapter.
All required parking is accommodated on-site in the sub-grade structure. Parking will be accessed from the cul-
de-sac at the terminus of South Aspen Street as no alleyway is present.
E. Restrictions on use of off-street parking areas. No off-street parking area shall be used for the sale, repair,
dismantling or servicing of any vehicles, equipment, materials or supplies, nor shall any such activity adjacent
to off-street parking spaces obstruct required access to off-street parking areas. Parking spaces shall be used
for the parking of vehicles and shall not be used for non-auto related uses such as storage units or trash
containers. Parking spaces may only be used as a commercial parking facility if approved for such use. See
Subsection 26.515.010.E and the definition of commercial parking facility, Section 26.104.100. Commercial
parking facilities shall require special review approval and may also require conditional use approval in some
Zone Districts.
The proposed development will comply with the use restrictions described above within its sub-grade parking
area. No commercial parking facility is proposed.
F. Surface parking. Surface parking is prohibited or requires conditional use review as a principal use of a lot
or parcel in some Zone Districts. For surface parking of eight (8) or more spaces, parking areas shall include
one (1) tree with a planter area of twenty (20) square feet for each four (4) parking spaces. Planter areas may
be combined, but shall be proximate to the parking spaces. The Planning and Zoning Commission may waive
or modify this requirement on a per case basis. Parking within structures is exempt from this landscaping
provision.
09/04/2018
Gorsuch Haus Amended Application 97
No surface parking is proposed on the Project site.
G. Restrictions on drainage, grading and traffic impact. Off-street parking spaces shall be graded to ensure
drainage does not create any flooding or water quality problems and shall be provided with entrances and
exits so as to minimize traffic congestion and traffic hazards.
The cul-de-sac improvements, Lodge entrance and sub-grade parking access have been designed to minimize
traffic congestion and hazards as well as vehicle/pedestrian interactions with a logical flow with the accessible
parking entrance on the western corner of the cul-de-sac followed by a separated guest drop-off area along the
southern edge of the cul-de-sac.
H. Restrictions on lighting. Lighting facilities for off-street parking spaces, if provided, shall be arranged and
shielded so that lights neither unreasonably disturb occupants of adjacent residential dwellings nor interfere
with driver vision. All outdoor lighting shall comply with the outdoor lighting regulations, Section 26.575.150.
No surface parking is provided; therefore this criterion is not applicable.
REQUIRED NUMBER OF OFF-STREET PARKING SPACES - 26.515.030
Off-street parking spaces shall be provided for each use according to the schedule, below. Whenever the off-street
parking is subject to establishment by adoption of a Planned Development final development plan, that review
shall be pursuant to Chapter 26.445, Planned Development. Whenever the parking requirement shall be
established through a special review, the standards and procedures set forth at Section 26.515.040, Special review
standards, below, shall apply. Whenever the parking requirement may be provided via a payment-in-lieu the
standards and procedures set forth at Section 26.515.050, Cash-in-lieu for mobility enhancements, below, shall
apply. An existing deficit of parking may be maintained when a property is redeveloped.
For lodging projects with flexible unit configurations, also known as "lock-off units," each separate "key," or
rentable division, shall constitute a unit for the purposes of this Section.
For projects with parking requirements in multiple categories (residential, commercial, lodging or other), the
provision of on-site parking may be approved to satisfy the requirements for each use concurrently, pursuant to
Chapter 26.430, Special review and according to the review criteria set forth below. (For example: A project
comprised of commercial use requiring five [5] parking spaces and lodging use requiring five [5] parking spaces
may be approved to provide less than ten [10] total parking spaces.) This shall not apply to parking which is
provided through a payment-in-lieu.
The Project meets the requirement for the number of off-street parking spaces accommodating the proposed uses
as described in Chapter II. 2. Off-Street Parking with 56 proposed spaces.

9. SPECIAL REVIEW FOR DENSITY STANDARDS
An adjustment of the “density standard” may be approved allowing the Project to remain qualified for the height,
floor area and growth management incentives associated with this standard. The Applicant is seeking this approval
from City Council during the Planned Development review process. The review shall be pursuant to the review
procedures for the special review, Chapter 26.430, and the criteria found in Chapter 26.710.190E
REVIEW STANDARDS FOR SPECIAL REVIEW (26.430.040A)
A. Dimensional Requirements. Whenever the dimensional requirements of a proposed development are
subject to special review, the development application shall only be approved if the following conditions are
met:
1. The mass, height, density, configuration, amount of open space, landscaping and setbacks of the
proposed development are designed in a manner which is compatible with or enhances the character of
surrounding land uses and is consistent with the purposes of the underlying zone district.

2. The applicant demonstrates that the proposed development will not have adverse impacts on
surrounding uses or will mitigate those impacts, including but not limited to the effects of shading, excess
traffic, availability of parking in the neighborhood or blocking of a designated view plane.
PROCEDURE FOR SPECIAL REVIEW APPROVAL (26.430.050)
B. Steps Required. One – Public hearing before Planning and Zoning Commission.
The Applicant requests the review approval procedure occurs with the Planned Development review before City
Council in place of a hearing before Planning and Zoning Commission. The Project review by City Council will
occur as part of a comprehensive Lift 1A Corridor review which includes Willoughby Park and Lift One Lodge.
APPLICATION (26.430.060)
The development application for special review shall include the following:
09/04/2018
Gorsuch Haus Amended Application 100
A. The general application information required under Section 26.304.030
B. A sketch plan showing the configuration of the development on the lot and those features of the site which
are relevant to the special review requested.
C. An analysis of the characteristics of similarly situated properties in the same Zone District and neighboring
parcels with respect to whether these properties comply with the dimensional review, off-street parking or
utility and delivery service area requirements which is subject to special review.
SPECIAL REVIEW FOR DENSITY STANDARDS (26.710.190.E)
1. The density standard may be amended by a maximum of 10% to one lodge unit per 550 square feet of
Gross Lot Area. An adjustment in excess of this increase may be approved through the adoption of a PD
plan, but the project shall no longer be qualified for the associated incentives.
The Project is requesting a density standard increase to the maximum of 10%. The Gross Lot Area totals
44,545 sf A total of 81 keys are proposed with the Lodge which allocates one Lodge unit per approximately
550 sf of the Gross Lot Area. Approval of this request would allow the Project to remain qualified for the
associated incentives with the density standard.
2. The project includes a generous amount of non-unit space, amenities and services for guests of the
lodging operation. This can include both internal and external amenities.
Every effort has been made to provide guests of the Project with an enjoyable experience. The lodging
component contributes to approximately 80% of the total Project. The remaining amount of interior space
to be allocated to amenities such as the spa and fitness facilities, meeting rooms, a variety of dining options,
retail uses, lounge areas and a rooftop pool and spa. External to the Project, spill-out spaces for meetings,
outdoor patios and dining terraces and access to Aspen Mountain and the skiway have been provided to
compliment the Lodge’s interior amenities.
3. The project provides a range of unit sizes and configurations to be attractive to a broad segment of
potential guests. Flexible units are encouraged.
The Lodge units are a mix of King and Double Queen sizes and accommodate connective configurations to
provide for a variety of guest party sizes. The Project is intended to be a modest size Lodge. Average room
sizes are approximately 432 sf which is smaller than rooms at other Aspen hotels such as the Little Nell (650
sf), Limelight (485 sf) and Jerome (600 sf). The smaller room size proposed as part of this intimate Lodge
Project will allow price points that will be attractive to a broad segment of potential guests.

IV. PUBLIC OUTREACH
SUMMARY / OVERVIEW
Since the last Gorsuch Haus Project review by City Council on March 27, 2017, there have been open houses, Council
work sessions and individual meetings with stakeholders that have each allowed the opportunity for genuine
neighbor and community input of the Lift 1A Corridor Plan. Feedback has been instrumental in the amended
development proposal. During the March 2017 meeting, Council reflected public opinion and expressed a strong
desire to understand the possibility of locating the lift closer to Town’s core. The land use application for Gorsuch
Haus was tabled by City Council during this review. City staff was then directed to organize a process to examine the
Lift 1A Corridor and potential lift replacement locations. In the time since the last reviewed Application, the
Applicant has participated in and organized neighborhood and public outreach efforts that have focused on the
study of the Lift Corridor by SE Group and the Lift 1A Corridor Plan.
The Lift 1A study was a two-phase process that began in May 2017 and concluded in May 2018. This study involved
numerous stakeholders including the Lift One Lodge property, Aspen Skiing Company, Aspen Historical Society, City
of Aspen Departments and Gorsuch Haus. The Final Report presented in a Council Work Session May 15, 2018
included 3-dimensional studies, grading, lift profiles, and the width of corridors for lift and skiway return. The lower
lift to a terminal site at Dean Street was determined by City Council as the preferred location. Following the
selection of the preferred alternative, the City of Aspen Community Development Staff organized a three-month
series of meetings to identify outstanding issues among the stakeholder group and work toward realizing the Lift 1A
Corridor vision.
INFORMATIONAL MEETING / COMMUNITY OPEN HOUSE / STAKEHOLDER
MEETINGS
The City of Aspen organized two community open houses timed with the conclusions of Phase One and Phase Two
of SE Group’s Assessment Report. These informative community open houses were held to educate the public in
advance of public City Council work sessions. The first was hosted on October 30, 2017. In this open house format,
the community was invited to review exhibits displaying the options studied by SE Group and ask questions of City
Staff. All stakeholders, including the Gorsuch Haus, were in attendance to observe and listen to feedback. The
second open house was hosted on May 15, 2018. Detailed site plans and vertical exhibits of the preferred options
were displayed during the open house for the community to review and understand the options and as questions of
City Staff. Like the first open house, Gorsuch Haus and other stakeholders attended to observe and listen to
feedback.
City Council work sessions were held after each open house on October 30, 2017 and May 15, 2018. Public comment
was received at both meetings. Representatives from each stakeholder group were in attendance to participate in
the discussion of the preferred lift replacement option and listen to public comments on the options. During the
May 15, 2018 work session, Council determined a preferred option which released the development proposals from
both Lift One Lodge and Gorsuch Haus to proceed and accommodate the lift replacement at the Dean Street
Location.

RE: Gorsuch Haus- Conceptual Engineering Letter
SE Job # 15101.05
Dear Richard,
This letter summarizes our initial findings as it relates to the recently revised site plan associated with the Gorsuch
Haus. The purpose of this review was to understand some of the recent revisions to the proposed site plan that are
being considered in support of allowing Lift 1A to move further down the hill. This review is provided to demonstrate
that the elements of civil engineering will be able to be met in respect to Utilities, Access and Drainage. Further
coordination and design efforts will be pursued as the project progresses through the accelerated PD Development
Review process. A conceptual site plan highlighting some of the changes (Exhibit A) has been provided as an
attachment to this letter for illustrative support.
Utilities
Since the previous Engineering Report was published a significant amount of utility improvements have been installed
along S. Aspen Street in support of the recent development of the One Aspen Project. In addition, further discoveries
have been identified as noted below:
Water: The water main improvements along S. Aspen Street have been installed and extend south from Durant
Avenue to the southern end of S. Aspen Street. The approved construction drawings actually included the
extension of the water main to continue east along Hill Street and re-connect to the existing system just east of
S. Monarch Street; however prior to this section being installed it was determined that the proposed alignment
creates complications to the Lift One Lodge and Gorsuch Projects and therefore the City agreed to defer the
final 500+ feet until after revised site plans for the Gorsuch and Lift One Lodge were available to determine if a
better alignment could be provided. As such, the recent site revisions associated with the Gorsuch Project
provides an opportunity to improve the previously proposed alignment for this final section of water main. The
proposed re-alignment is illustrated on Exhibit A and places the 16-inch water main along the south side of the
remaining Hill Street ROW which will require a 8-ft+/- wide easement through the northern portion of Gorsuch
Haus Lot 1, running parallel to the remaining Hill Street ROW. This easement along with the remaining Hill
Street ROW will provide the required 30-ft easement through this section of water line replacement. A 30-ft
easement will also be required through Gorsuch Haus Lot 2. This improved alignment avoids conflicts with
structures, reduces the amount of bends and provides additional separation between proposed structures which
improves future access and maintenance to the water main.
The proposed water service for this project will tap into this new 16” water main and will likely entail a combined
service line to provide domestic and fire flow requirements. Since the development extends above the City’s
8040-Greenline the applicant will have to provide a private water pressure boosting system to ensure adequate
pressures and fire flow requirements are maintained. Final designs of the extended water main, booster pumps,
service lines and fire suppressant systems will be provided at time of building permit application.

Sewer: Aspen Consolidated Sanitation District (ACSD) is the supplier of sanitary sewer service to the subject
property and surrounding area. Sewer service to the project will be tapped from the recently installed sewer main
(8” and 12”) that extends south from Durant Avenue to the southern end of S. Aspen Street. The size of the line
will be verified prior to permit application. Grease interceptors will be provided for any and all food processing
establishments and a sand/oil interceptor will be provided within the proposed parking garage. Ejector pumps
are anticipated for portions of the project given the depths and use of the proposed below grade space.
Abandonment of all existing sewer services shall comply with ACSD specifications and final terminations will
need to be inspected by ACSD personnel. All work associated with Aspen Consolidated Sanitation District
infrastructure shall be in accordance with their rules and regulations.
Since the previous report was published it has been determined that there is an existing 8” sewer service that
runs up Aspen Mountain and serves Ruthie’s Restaurant. Based on available mapping it appears that this
existing service line will need to be re-aligned to avoid the proposed building and then re-connected to the
recently installed sanitary sewer main that runs up S. Aspen Street. A conceptual alignment is illustrated on
Exhibit A and runs along the east side of the building. Several manholes are proposed for change of direction
and future maintenance which will be an improved condition as compared to what exists today. The proposed
service for the Gorsuch Haus is currently shown tapping into the Ruthie’s new sewer service which will either
require extending the Districts mainline 65-ft+/- to the east or a shared service line agreement will need to be
pursued between Aspen Ski Company and the applicant. This will be further evaluated as the project design
progresses with final alignments and designs being provided in support of any future building permit
applications. ACSD has provided an Ability to Serve Letter which is attached to this report.
Electric: Holy Cross Energy is the supplier of electric service in this area. Numerous coordination meetings
have occurred to better understand the improvements that were installed and how to best serve the project. In
summary, new primary electric lines were installed with the S. Aspen Street improvements. These primary lines
extend to the southern end of S. Aspen Street and serve the existing transformer (3468P1) located north of Lift
1A, a recloser located adjacent to this transformer, a recently installed switch gear, a transformer (3128P1)
serving the Shadow Mountain Townhomes and then existing infrastructure serving Aspen Mountain.
The proposed improvements associated with the Gorsuch Project will require relocating the existing recloser and
transformer located near Lift 1A. In addition, the recently installed switch gear may also need to be relocated
given the close proximity to the proposed building. Furthermore, the existing primary line that feeds
infrastructure further up Aspen Mountain will likely need to be re-routed to accommodate the proposed building.
The proposed location of the transformers to serve the project and the relocated infrastructure mentioned above
are illustrated on Exhibit A; however alternative locations are currently being explored to improve access for
future maintenance. Further coordination with the design team, City and Holy Cross Energy is anticipated as the
project design evolves and the project proceeds through the review process. A will serve letter from Holy Cross
has been provided as an attachment to this letter.
Gas: As noted in the previous Engineering Report Black Hills Energy is the provider of natural gas in the area.
Since the previous Engineering Report was published a new 6” gas main has been extended to the southern
end of S. Aspen Street. A new service line will be extended from this gas main to serve the proposed

development. The size of the proposed service will be determined prior to building permit. All natural gas
improvements/infrastructure shall conform to Black Hills rules and regulations.
Telephone: Century Link is the provider of telephone service within the area. New service to the proposed
building will be extended from the recently installed main line infrastructure that was installed as part of the S.
Aspen Street improvements.
Cable: Comcast is the provider of cable service within the area. New service to the proposed building will be
extended from recently installed main line infrastructure that was installed as part of the S. Aspen Street
improvements. A will serve letter prepared by Comcast has been attached to this report.
With the exception of the City Water Department, will serve letters from all utility providers are included as
attachments to this report. Further coordination and refining pedestal, transformer and service alignments may
occur as the project progresses into detail design with a final plan being submitted when a Building Permit
Application is pursued.
Access
The new site plan includes a much improved cul-de-sac that will serve as the primary pick up/drop off and access to
the site as well as emergency turn around. This cul-de-sac will be dedicated to the City as ROW and meets their
minimum dimensional requirements as stated within Title 26.580.020 of the City of Aspen’s Land Use Code as well as
Section 4.2.3 of the City’s Engineering Standards. The cul-de-sac also provides 24-ft of width for vehicular circulation
as well as a 12.5 ft wide drop off aisle which will provide primary ADA access to the property. As illustrated on the
attached Exhibit A the cul-de-sac accommodates an Aerial Fire Truck. It should be noted that under the revised site
plan the lift will be moved further down the hill and therefore the cul-de-sac will no longer be used as primary access to
the lift which will reduce the overall impacts to the area.
Site Drainage
The revised site plan reduced the overall footprint of the proposed building and hardscape areas resulting in a
reduction of impervious area of approximately 25% as compared to the previous site plan. This reduction will simplify
the stormwater mitigation requirements by reducing the amount of water quality treatment volume that will be required
as well as a reduction of post development peak runoff rates and volumes. Stormwater mitigation strategies have not
been completely vetted at this time however green roofs are being considered to further reduce impervious areas.
Final green roof coverage will be determined prior to building permit application. Other potential stormwater mitigation
infrastructure includes permeable pavers and underground water quality treatment vaults. The site plan is currently
showing two underground treatment vaults that have dimensions capable of providing a combined volume of
approximately 600 cubic feet. This amount of volume can accommodate water quality treatment for approximately
28,000 sf of impervious area which is approximately 80% of the overall roof and hardscape area currently proposed on
the subject property. Based on discussions with the City it is our understanding that this project will not be required to
provide onsite detention given the recent storm sewer improvements installed along S. Aspen Street. Our office will
continue to work with the design team and City to identify and address any concerns that may arise during the PD
review process.

Conclusions
In summary, it is our opinion that the revised site plan provides improved access to the site, it is consistent with the
previous application as it relates to utility services to the building, provides for a better alignment for the required 16-
inch water main and results in an overall reduction of impervious area which will simplify stormwater mitigation
requirements as compared to the previous site plan. All utilities serving the proposed development including water
supply, wastewater collection, and the shallow utilities (power, gas, phone, data/communication) are proposed to have
essentially the same delivery and connection routes as outlined within the previous application dated March 2016. In
addition, since the publication of the previous engineering report the majority of utility upgrades along S. Aspen Street
have been completed. Our office will continue to work with the design team and City to further develop utility, grading
and drainage designs and address any concerns that may arise as the project continues through the City’s review
process.
Please let us know if you have any questions or if you need additional information.

RE: Gorsuch Haus
To whom it may concern:
Your request for facilities to the Gorsuch Haus is within CenturyLink’s serving
area and will be provided in accordance with all the rates and tariffs set forth by
the Colorado Public Utilities Commission.
Connections to CenturyLink facilities are contingent upon the customer meeting
all the requirements of the Utilities tariffs that are in effect for each requested
utility service at the time the application for service is made by the customer and
formally accepted by CenturyLink. Connection requirements may include
provisions for necessary line extensions and/or other system improvements, and
payment of all applicable system development charges, recovery agreement
charges and other fees or charges applicable to the requested service.
Although CenturyLink diligently seeks to expand its facilities as necessary to
meet anticipated growth, CenturyLink services are provided to eligible customers
at the time of connection to the facilities on a “first come, first served” basis after
acceptance of the customer’s application as described above. In certain
instances, our facilities and capacities may be limited. Accordingly, no specific
allocations or amounts of CenturyLink facilities or supplies are reserved for
service to the subject property, and no commitments are made as to the
availability of CenturyLink service at future times.

RE: Gorsuch Haus - Commitment for Sanitary Sewer Service
Dear Jesse,
Bruce Matherly - Manager
The Aspen Consolidated Sanitation District currently has sufficient wastewater
collection and treatment capacity to serve this project. Service is contingent
upon compliance with the district's rules, regulations, and specifications,
which are on file at the District office. There are downstream constraints in the
District's collection system that will be corrected through a system of
proportionate impact fees.
A tap permit must be completed at our office when detailed plans become
available. Fees will be estimated at that time. The total connection charges
due the District must be paid prior to the issuance of a foundation and/or
infrastructure permit.
Existing service lines or laterals connected to the District's main line, serving
the subject property and adjacent properties must be identified, located and
isolated from soil stabilization processes or other potential damage, or, properly
disconnected from the ACSD main line at the point of connection according to
specific ACSD requirements.
Once detailed plans are made available to the district, we can comment
specifically about this proposed project.
Sincer ,

RE: Gorsuch House
Dear Jesse,
The above mentioned development is within the certified service area of Holy Cross Energy
Holy Cross Energy has adequate power supply to provide electric power to the development, subject to tariffs,
rules and regulations on file. Any power line enlargements, relocations, and new extensions necessary to deliver
adequate power to and within the development will be undertaken by Holy Cross Energy upon completion of
appropriate contractual agreements and subject to necessary governmental approvals.
Additionally, due to current economic conditions, Holy Cross Energy is not stocking the quantity of construction
materials as in past years. If your project is slated for construction this year, please advise us as soon as
possible. You will need to enter into agreements with Holy Cross Energy, and pay for the project, sufficiently in
advance of construction to avoid possible delays while materials are procured. The currently estimated lead time
for procurement of materials is around 12 weeks.
Please advise when you wish to proceed with the development of the electric system for this project
Sincerely
HOLY CROSS ENERGY

Project Description
In the space below provide a description of the proposed project.
The Gorsuch Haus is a mixed-use lodge at the western portal to Aspen Mountain. The project includes an 81-key lodge, four free-market
residential units, one affordable housing unit, a restaurant and bar and underground parking for the uses. The new commercial net-leasable
square footage totals 6,000 square feet. The lift terminal currently located on site will be replaced at a lower Dean Street location in closer
proximity to the Town Core. The Project will accommodate a skiway for skiers returning to the lift and access points to Aspen Mountain for
the neighborhood. Additional site improvements include an enhanced pedestrian cul-de-sac and terraces serving skiers, guests of the lodge
and the general public. The project has been designed and planned to incorporate the following Multi Modal Level of Service and
Transportation Demand Management strategies to mitigate for the 46.9 additional peak hour trips that will be generated. It is the Applicant's
intent to ensure that multi-modal transportation to the site is accommodated. The Applicant will work with the Transportation Department
and adjacent land owners, including the Aspen Skiing Company, to improve transit access to the lower lift replacement location.
MMLOS
In the space provided desicribe what new landscaping is proposed and how the proposed landscaping plan enhances the pedestrian
experience. This measure is only applicable to large scale projects and requires more extensive landscaping then a few plantings or lawn
area. The project shall establish extensive landscaping which significantly benefits the site and improves the pedestrian comfort and
experience.
The existing pedestrian approach to the Project Site and Aspen Mountain's western portal, Lift 1A, is an unwelcoming and often dangerous
experience, especially when winter conditions make for an icy slope. Approaching the site from South Aspen Street sidewalks for a portion of
the street have recently been completed, greatly improving the previous condition where pedestrians had to navigate within the roadway
adjacent to traffic and behind the angled parking along the eastern side of the street creating visibility issues between cars and pedestrians.
These improvements, however, do not extend to the top of South Aspen Street. Improvements within the Right-Of-Way proposed as a part of
the Gorsuch Haus project include a 50 ft radius cul-de-sac at the terminus of South Aspen Street. A 5 ft buffer between the sidewalk and the
cul-de-sac is planned with attractive hardscape and planting located not impede pedestrian and skier circulation. Hill Street Right-Of-Way
improvements will extend the pedestrian experience to the mountain slope and skiway during the winter season. This east-west pedestrian
promenade will enhance the pedestrian experience with benches, lighting, landscape planters and direct access to snow level. All hardscape
improvements have been designed to minimize the grade change and improve the comfort of pedestrians at the top of South Aspen Street.
Landscape improvements leading up a stairway from the Right-Of-Way will take pedestrians through a series of hardscape public terraces and
landscaped planter boxes to elevation 8021 where outdoor dining and seating is available and a walk up another short stairway to World Cup
Terrace with secondary access to the snow level. ADA access to these upper landscaped areas will be provided using the elevators in the
hotel’s lower lobby. Additional improvements will include repaving, curb and gutter, and ADA compliant curb cuts. Site improvements have
looked to preserve the majority of the trees at the current terminus of South Aspen Street.
Describe the enhanced pedestrian access point(s). This measure is to improve pedestrian access to the site from the ROW. It includes
adding additional access points which prevent pedestrians and bicyclists from crossing a street, improvements to the project's ADA ramps
in the ROW, and improvements to existing access points.
With the unique location of the site at the edge of the city's grid there are three existing and proposed pedestrian access points: the sidewalk
from South Aspen Street, the pedestrian path through Lift One Park (approved site plan for Lift One Lodge Planned Development) as well as a
Public Access Easement to the north of Mountain Queen Condominiums which connects pedestrians to Monarch Street. Each of these access
points, as they interface with the immediate Right-Of-Way and the project site, will be enhanced with the addition of a pedestrian sidewalk
going from east to west and leading pedestrians to the skiway and hotel amenities. These access points provide the pedestrian with options
to access the site. The pedestrian walkway will greatly improve upon how the proposed skiway is accessed.
Explain the enhanced pedestrian interaction at driveway areas or alley crossings. There must be an existing deficiency on the proposed
site to select this mesaure. If the project will increase interaction between pedestrians and vehicles at a driveway this should be mitigated
by implementing improvements to that area. New signage, striping, mirrors, and other approved devices are examples to address
pedestrian-vehicle conflicts at driveways.
At the existing terminus South Aspen Street Right-Of-Way, the paved surface of the road extends to provide access to the Shadow Mountain
Condominiums on the west but this surface is discontinued to the east where a leveled gravel lot used for the Aspen Skiing Company is
located. The dirt surfaced Mountain Access Road, used by Aspen Skiing Company, bisects the east and west lots heading South. This existing
condition results in unwelcoming pedestrian experience and deficient interaction where three driveways with varying surface intersect to
access South Aspen Street. This Project proposes an improved cul-de-sac at the South Aspen Street terminus, designed to City of Aspen
Engineering Standards. This cul-de-sac will not only remedy the varied surface conditions of the current terminus of the Street, but it will also
result in safe vehicle circulation and pedestrian crossings. The cul-de-sac will maintain access to Shadow Mountain to the west, accommodate
access to an underground parking garage and service area for the Project, provide a separated drop-off area for guests and visitors, and
redirect Aspen Skiing Company vehicles to a realigned Mountain Access road. The reorganization of the terminus of the street and the
improved cul-de-sac has been designed to enhance pedestrian circulation and provide safe interactions with driveway crossings. A striped
crosswalk is proposed on the northwest corner of the cul-de-sac to encourage pedestrians to cross from the west side of South Aspen Street
to the east and avoid crossing at the driveway accessing Shadow Mountain Condominiums. Pedestrians would then circulate around the cul-
de-sac using the 8 ft sidewalk, separated from the road with a 5 ft buffer. At the intersection of the Mountain Access Road and the Project
service area with the cul-de-sac a mountable curb and the same sidewalk surface materials will be used to emphasize the pedestrian nature
of the space. To mitigate conflicts, pedestrian and vehicle interactions at the service area would be limited to early morning or evening hours
and the Mountain Access Road would primarily be used in summer months for maintenance with some snowcat use outside of Mountain
operating hours in the winter.
Explain offsite improvements which will result in a pedestrian directness factor below 1.2.
The Project proposes an extension of the Monarch Street pedestrian easement, currently located north of the Mountain Queen
Condominiums, with a permanent easement connecting to the improved South Aspen Street cul-de-sac. This offsite improvement will
establish a pedestrian connection between these areas of the neighborhood that doesn’t currently exist. Currently, pedestrians would need
to walk north on Monarch Street, head west on Dean Street, then climb south on South Aspen Street to reach the Project site as there is no
improved pedestrian connection across the steep, vegetated slope of Aspen Mountain. This walk time is approximately 7 minutes. The
proposed connection would reduce that walk time to less than 1 minute.
Explain any additional major improvements which benefit the pedestrian experience and have been agreed upon with City of Aspen staff.
The City of Aspen organized a one-year process to determine the location of the replacement for Lift 1A and the alignment of a return skiway.
The lower lift to a terminal site at Dean Street was determined by City Council as the location preferred. The Site Plan proposed by this
Project supports the selected option that brings the lift to Dean Street. However, to accommodate the lower replacement lift terminal and
accommodate the lift corridor and skiway on the Project site, major design programming and architectural design has been reorganized. This
Project has utilized information from a study prepared by an outside consultant to locate the lift centerline, setbacks and the ski way
boundary to ensure the Project will provide for these major improvements that will benefit the public and skier experience.
Describe the proposed seating/bench and the bench location for which existing bus stop.
Proposed benches will be placed around the South Aspen Street cul-de-sac. Additional details regarding the seating/bench will be provided
during the Detailed Project Review regarding the specifications for these amenities.
Explain the proposed shelter/shade and the location for which existing bus stop.
The proposed shade/shelter is located at the Lodge entry and is intended to provide cover for hotel guests and visitors while waiting for pick-
up from hotel shuttles, ride shares like the downtowner, and other alternative transit services like Uber and Lyft. This covered area will
include a bench, trash/recycling receptacles and ADA access.
Describe the proposed enhanced pedestrian-scale lighting.
Pedestrian-scale lighting will be designed in conjunction with the cul-de-sac and incorporated into the building design to ensure nighttime
safety and will comply with the City’s design standards.
Include any additional information that pertains to the MMLOS plan in the space provided below.
The public right-of-way improvements within the South Aspen Street cul-de-sac and publicly accessible pedestrian promenade and terraces
facilitate improved multi-modal access to the Project Site and the Aspen Skiing Company replacement lift terminal at the lower Dean Street
location for the general public and for the anticipated residents and guests staying within the South Aspen Street Neighborhood. Resolving
the transportation/access challenges to the site is an important element of the proposed project and the Applicant will work with the City of
Aspen Transportation Department as well as neighboring property owners to implement a solution that can benefit all of those who live and
visit this part of town.
TDM
The project proposes onsite amenities. Describe the combination of amenities below. Providing a combination of creative onsite
amenities reduces the need for SOV trips throughout the day. Services within the development that will reduce the need for auto trips
include grocery, restaurant, recreation rental, dry cleaning, child care, bicycle repair stations, etc. A combination of amenities is required.
The project proposes a combination of onsite amenities to mitigate single occupancy vehicle trips for both residents of the affordable
housing, free-market units, hotel guests, skiers and employees. Guests of the hotel will benefit in the wintertime from being only steps away
from the skiway and the western portal to Aspen Mountain. The amenities serving lodge guests and residents include a guest retail shop
which will include healthy snacks and a limited supply of personal care products and a rental shop/ski concierge where guests can take of
both summer and winter equipment rentals (skiing in the winter, bicycling, hiking etc. in other seasons). A ski tuning service and storage will
also be available. A full-service, three meal restaurant and bar will serve both residents, guests and the general public and will accommodate
room service for hotel guests as well as après ski festivities. Provisions for the day can also be purchased at the grab n’ go station within the
lobby so that guests have everything they need from gear to lunch at their fingertips. Other guest amenities include the pool area, fitness
room and spa facilities. Laundry service for guests will be provided. The on-site conference and event spaces will help serve groups with the
convenience of providing everything on-site.
A transit access improvement strategy will be implemented. Provision of safe and comfortable access to transit service is important for
generating and maintaining transit ridership, thus reducing SOV trips. The successful project will improve pedestrian access to a transit
stop via formalization of trails, addition and/or improvement of sidewalk, installation of lighting and/or way finding or other
measures.Explain the proposed transit access improvement strategy below.
The proposed improvements to the South Aspen Street cul-de-sac will provide safe and comfortable pedestrian access for neighboring
properties to transit services located with the replacement lift terminal at Dean Street and Ruby Park. With the replacement of the lift at
Dean Street, skiers in the winter season will be brought closer to both transit service locations through the planned skiway. When the ski area
is not in operation, formalized connections are planned from the Project site through Lift One Park and Willoughby Park to the north. The
proposed permanent easement extending the existing Monarch Street Pedestrian Easement will be connected to this formalized connection
to Dean Street. Signage and wayfinding improvements will cohesively be implemented in the neighborhood, including the Project Site, to
direct people to transit locations and physical enhancements including access to Aspen Mountain, lodge projects, and bicycle parking.
Explain below the transit fare subsidy strategy. The successful project will provide subsidized/discounted daily or monthly public transit
passes for the RFTA valley system. These passes can be partially or wholly subsidized by the project, with additional points being provided
for larger subsidies. Many entities use revenue from parking to offset the cost of such a project.
The lodge operator will be responsible for subsidizing of the cost of punch passes, monthly and season passes for 50 percent of its employees
who utilize RFTA busses to and from work. The subsidy will be a minimum of 25 percent of the price of the transit pass.
Explain the proposed end of trip facilities strategy below. The provision of convenient facilities for pedestrians and cyclists encourages
these types of alternative modes, thus reducing SOV trips. Non-residential projects may provide facilities such as showers, secure bicycle
lockers, personal lockers, changing spaces, etc.
The non-residential elements of the mixed-use development will include the hotel/lodge and the restaurant/bar - all employees will have
access to the employee locker room with showers, changing spaces and personal lockers. Protected bike parking will be provided for
employees and residents.
Include any additional information that pertains to the TDM plan in the space provided below.
All of the strategies above were discussed and are believed to be feasible with hotel operations. The strategies selected are believed to be the
most effective and practical strategies to reduce vehicle trips and encourage/support alternative commuting for employees of the proposed
development based on the operator's experience with other resort properties including some within Aspen.
MMLOS Site Plan Requirements
Include the following on a site plan. Clearly call out and label each measure. Attach the site plan to the TIA submittal.
Slopes Between Back of Curb and Sidewalk
Landscape Plan
2% Slope at Pedestrian Driveway Crossings
Enhanced Pedestrian Access Point
Enhanced Pedestrian Interaction at Driveway Areas
Pedestrian Directness Factor (See callout number 9 on the MMLOS sheet for an example)
Offsite Pedestrian Directness Factor (See callout number 9 on the MMLOS sheet for an example)
Additional Major Pedestrian Improvement
Bicycle Parking
Bus Stop Seating/Bench
Bus Stop Trash Recepticle
Bus Stop Shelter/Shade
Bus Stop Pedestrian Scale Lighting
Enforcement and Financing
Provide an overview of the Enforcement and Financing plan for the proposed transportation mitigation measures.
Scheduling and Implementation Responsibility of Mitigation Measures
Provide an overview of the scheduling and implementation responsibility for the proposed transportation mitigation measures.
Monitoring and Reporting
All of the MMLOS strategies, as well as the building related TDM strategies, will be completed during the construction phase of the proposed
project. They will be included as a part of the final design submitted for a building permit. The operational and ongoing TDM strategies will be
implemented when the operations agreement is signed and will become the responsibility of operator to implement.
Provide a monitoring and reporting plan. Refer to page 17 in the Transportation Analysis Guidelines for a list of monitoring plan
requirements. Components of a Monitoring and Reporting Plan should include (1) Assessment of compliance with guidelines, (2) Results
and effectiveness of implemented measures, (3) Identification of additional strategies, and (4) Surveys and other supporting data.
The Applicant agrees to the requirements for monitoring the implementation of the TDM strategies including a survey of employees, owners
and hotel guests annually during the reporting period. The survey will seek to determine the level of use of different TDM strategies and how
many trips have been reduced through the efforts of the developer and operator to incorporate MMLOS and TDM strategies. The survey will
be implemented by the lodge operator and summarized in an annual report submitted to the Transportation Department for the first three
years of operation. Should there be opportunities for improvement identified in the monitoring process, changes will be made to capture
greater participation in alternative commuting and transportation modes.
The MMLOS measures within the South Aspen Street Right-Of-Way adjacent to the Gorsuch Haus project that are above and beyon the
improvements that hare planned in the neighborhood today, including the roadway improvements to the cul-de-sac, sidewalks, will be paid
for by the Applicant. The lodge and restaurant operator will be responsible for implementing the TDM strategies outlined above including
covering the costs of subsidized bus passes and ensuring access to the "end of trip" facilities such as locker rooms and showers within the
building. To ensure that the initiatives are sustained and implemented for the life of the project, the TDM strategies outlined above will be
incorporated into the operator’s contract including strategies such as ensuring an employee is appointed who will be responsible for
implementing each of the strategies targeted toward guests, employees and residents of the development.

Subject: Lift 1A Corridor: Application Framework
and Cost-Sharing Proposal
D R A F T
The following memorandum is a preview of the various land use applications from the private entities.
This summary describes a framework and cost-sharing concept for the Lift 1A Corridor. The intention of
this summary is to: 1) define the method to extend Lift 1A to Dean Street including ski return to the
terminal; and, 2) outline a cost-sharing concept for the improvements necessary to enhance the
neighborhood and provide the desired ski experience and guest services.
This memorandum describes what is to be known as the Lift Corridor, which includes the Gorsuch Haus
property, any Aspen Skiing Company retained land adjacent to the Gorsuch Haus, the Hill Street Right of
Way, the Lift One Lodge Property, Lift One Park as may be amended for the Lift Corridor, Willoughby
Park and the Dolinsek property.
The cost-sharing called for here has been developed based on prior discussions, and not intended to
commit any parties until all are in agreement. The primary objective is to ensure that we have
coordinated the various individual commitments into our respective applications such that the process
will continue with an effective combined approach.
1.Lift 1A Corridor Land Use
Lift One Lodge and Gorsuch Haus have undertaken redesign efforts to adjust and adapt their respective
lodge sites to allow the Lift Corridor to extend to its historic location, closer to the core of Aspen. The
following is the general intent of the projects that make-up the corridor:
Lift One Lodge: This currently approved project will be re-configured to accommodate a minimum 60-
foot wide skiway, with additional setback from the proposed buildings. The Lodge will continue to be a
mix of lodging units and accessory uses, publicly accessible commercial facilities, free-market residential,
and affordable housing. The Skiers Chalet Steakhouse will be renovated and restored to its restaurant
use on Lift One Lodge property. It will also provide a relocated Skiers Chalet building onto City of Aspen
property for use as a museum and skier services facility. Certain land exchanges will be required
between the City of Aspen and Lift One Lodge, in addition to those contemplated in the previous
approval. The project area will utilize sub-surface areas of Willoughby Park for public parking and other
public facilities, access to the below-grade structure elements, as well as uses supporting the Skiers
Chalet Steak House. Subgrade areas under Lift One Park and Lift One Lodge will provide lodge parking
facilities and services. An additional vacation of the remaining westerly portion of Gilbert Street will be
requested. An amended application will be submitted under the Land Use Code in effect at the time of
original application.
Gorsuch Haus: Gorsuch Haus Lodge project has been re-designed to allow the lift corridor and skiway of
no less than 60-feet wide throughout to extend to the desired Dean Street lift location. The proposed
program is a lodge and will be dominantly consistent with the Lodge district standards. The project will
Page 1 of 9
APPENDIX I - DRAFT COST-SHARING PROPOSAL
Page 2 of 9
include the skiway to allow return skiing to Dean street. The Lift replacement is a component of the
active Gorsuch Haus application and will now include the lift at the new location on Willoughby Park
near Dean Street in the amended land use application to be submitted in August 2018. A portion of
South Aspen Street Right of Way will be used for lodge development and a portion of the private land
will be exchanged to allow for the terminus of South Aspen Street to be completed.
Ski Facilities: There will be skiing access to the replacement lift terminal. A minimum of 2,500 square
feet of functional space for skier services, patrol and administrative functions, will be located in close
proximity to the new lift terminal. These ski facilities will need direct access for staging and loading of
the lift from Dean Street. Patrol facilities will require direct (proximate elevator is acceptable) access to
snow and sufficient dimensioning to enable the movement of injured skiers, including on gurneys from
snow, through patrol facilities and on to ambulances. Grooming, snowmaking and snow storage will be
uses expected and permitted throughout the Lift Corridor on both City and private land. Portions of
Willoughby Park, Lift One Park and Dolinsek property will be used for the purpose of skiing,
snowmaking, snow storage, and grooming as further detailed below. The entire Lift Corridor will be
designated to be within Aspen Skiing Company’s operational boundaries and will be subject to Aspen
Skiing Company’s exclusive control and management throughout the ski season, including with respect
to events and sponsorships. Outside the ski season Lift One Park will be managed by City of Aspen Parks
Department in a manner similar to the Dolinsek Property, provided that Aspen Skiing Company will have
access to Lift One Park during the summer for purposes of trail, snowmaking and lift maintenance
(including with vehicular access if necessary). Access to portions of the Gorsuch Haus lot will also be
required during the summer months. Willoughby Park and the Dolinsek property other than the new Lift
itself will be managed by the City of Aspen outside the ski season, provided that Aspen Skiing Company
will have access to its Lift and appropriate circulation therefor within Willoughby Park at all times
(summer included) for operations, support and maintenance purposes, and will have access to
Willoughby Park for snow making infrastructure maintenance purposes. Aspen Skiing Company will not
have special access to the Dolinsek property outside of its ski season.
2. Lift 1A Corridor Application Framework and Cost-Sharing
The Lift Corridor project creates new considerations of access, use of City property, infrastructure
development, and the inclusion of a museum program for the Aspen Historical Society. The following is
a conceptual framework for how these considerations are defined.
A. South Aspen Street Public Improvements Plan
• The improvements to South Aspen street include the street surface, sidewalk and pedestrian
improvements, mudflow mitigation, utilities and surface water enhancements. Much of this is
near completion by others.
• Public pedestrian and vehicular improvements will include a terminus to South Aspen Street.
• ADA access will be provided from Aspen Street to the new lift with an accessible vehicle turnout
opposite Juan Street. Additional access will be provided for lift servicing between the Lift One
Lodge and Steakhouse buildings.
• The improved terminus to this street will be made possible by the exchange of City right-of-way
of South Aspen Street with private land, which, in combination, will provide emergency access
protection, vehicular turnaround and commercial use sidewalks.
Page 3 of 9
• While primary ADA access for skier services will occur on Dean Street, additional ADA access will
be provided on South Aspen Street between the Skier Chalet/steakhouse and Lift One Lodge.
• Vehicular access to the new Lift for maintenance purposes will occur on South Aspen Street
both between the Skier Chalet/steakhouse and Lift One Lodge as well as between Lift One Lodge
and Gorsuch Haus.
• Mountain servicing, maintenance, staging, event preparation etc. will occur off of South Aspen
Street between Lift One Lodge and Gorsuch Haus.
• The existing Hill Street will remain a street right-of-way. There will be no encroachment into
existing Hill Street right-of-way for private improvements, except for hardscape/landscape to
complete the pedestrian circulation and skiing, provided, however, that Aspen Skiing Company
will require a utility easement across Hill Street for snowmaking purposes. Portions of the
existing plan for utilities, stormwater and mudflow mitigation will be relocated to the east and
be granted permanent easements where other rights-of-way cannot accommodate these
functions.
• Public parking previously provided at South Aspen Street will be accommodated by the provision
of 50 spaces in a portion of the Lift One Lodge parking structure. Total replacement public
parking will be 50 stalls.
Cost-Sharing Proposal: Gorsuch Haus commits to participation in the South Aspen Improvement
Plan as an additional party to an existing agreement to which Lift One Lodge is already a party with
the One Aspen Townhouses. Cost-sharing will be determined on a pro rata basis, determined by the
lineal feet of the project fronting South Aspen Street. Therefore, the cost-sharing split for the South
Aspen Street and Hill Street improvements breaks down as follows: One Aspen – 45.86%; Lift One
Lodge – 33.69%; and, Gorsuch Haus – 20.45%. Gorsuch Haus also commits to the additional
improvement costs related to the cul-de-sac beyond the original cul-de-sac called for in the South
Aspen Street Public Improvement Plan.
B. Dean Street
• Dean Street will be modified to become a one-way street directing traffic to the east. The
project will include a rebuilt road correcting an existing significant side gradient to the street
and other deficiencies, pedestrian and cycling improvements, a drop-off area adjacent to the
new lift, landscape areas, and necessary utility adjustments.
• The skier drop-off will be reconfigured to become a 10-foot wide loading/unloading area. This
will accommodate approximately three vehicles.
• Ambulance access for injured skiers may occur at Dean Street, with vertical and horizontal
connection to the snow surface.
• ADA access will be provided via elevator from the Dean Street drop-off to the ski slope and the
Skiers Chalet/Museum. Appropriate access from Dean Street to Aspen Skiing Company’s
ticketing and skier services, accommodating guests with ski gear, will be ensured.
• The proposed street improves access for existing properties and connects Ruby Park transit
center to the site.
Page 4 of 9
Cost-Sharing Proposal: These improvements will utilize a $250,000 existing exaction from Dancing
Bear, an additional $40,000 from Dancing Bear for the Dean/Monarch intersection, and an
additional $150,000 proposed exaction from Lift One Lodge because of the proposed entry benefit.
The remaining portion of an anticipated $1.2 million-dollar project will be funded by the City as part
of City infrastructure improvement capital plans.
C. Skier Chalet/Museum and Replacement Aspen Skiing Company Program
• The Skier Chalet Building will be relocated to a new site in Willoughby Park near Dean Street.
• The uses for this building will include a ski museum, operated by the Aspen Historical Society,
and required public ski services in proximity to the new lift.
• The relocated building will be finished as a white-box remodel, reconstructed to applicable code
requirements, and the historic exterior will be restored.
• The Skier Chalet’s existing foundation will not be reconstructed; instead the building will be
placed on the Lift One Lodge parking structure which will provide for the foundation.
• There is a separate building outside of the Ski Museum, proposed by Parks, that will be
developed as a public restroom that will service the park and the skiers using the portal. This will
be a facility managed and constructed by the City of Aspen. If approved, this square footage
previously in the category of skier services would now be available for the Museum use in the
remodeled skier Chalet.
• Design for the renovated Skiers Chalet building shall include a single elevator of sufficient design
and appropriate location to serve all functions of the Aspen Skiing Company and the Museum.
• The “Pool Shed” adjacent to the Skiers Chalet building will also be relocated and reused for
beverage service and animation of the adjacent courtyard.
• The refurbishment and preservation of the Historic Lift 1 bull wheel and lift tower will create an
opportunity, if desired by the Aspen Historical Society, for interpretive exhibits, an outdoor
museum experience, and activity space.
• It is assumed that ownership of the building will be held by the Aspen Historical Society;
however, Aspen Skiing Company must be assured it will have the ticketing function space at no
cost other than its proportionate share of maintenance for so long as the ski area operates. The
building will be condominiumized with each of the Aspen Historical Society and Aspen Skiing
Company owning its own space and sharing building maintenance costs through the condo
structure.
• 1500 sf of replacement ski patrol and administration functions will be located with both snow
surface accessibility and access to Dean Street. Dimensioning will be such that gurneys and sleds
can readily be maneuvered from snow to ski patrol space to ambulance.
• Similar to and in conjunction with the ticketing space, ASC must either own or have guaranteed
control of the space at no cost (other than maintenance) to Aspen Skiing Company. This will be
located for so long as the ski area operates.
• It is imperative that all parties receive assurances of staff support in requesting the City fees
detailed below are allocated for the public improvements to relocate and refurbish the Skiers
Chalet.
Cost-Sharing Proposal: Gorsuch Haus will contribute $400,000 to complete the Aspen Skiing
Company’s ticketing portions of the skier services located in the Skier Chalet/Museum. Gorsuch
Page 5 of 9
Haus will also contribute $600,000 to the replacement of the ski patrol program and administrative
functions in a new space constructed in the relocated Skiers Chalet building. The total Gorsuch Haus
commitment to the replacement Aspen Skiing Company Program totals $1 million. Lift One Lodge
will contribute $1 million to the Skier Chalet/Museum in lieu of the obligation incurred in its present
approvals. Additional funding is proposed to be accomplished by the earmarking of the following
typical development fees by the City of Aspen for Lift One Lodge and Gorsuch Haus, including:
• Building Permit Fees
o Building Permit
o Plan Review
o Energy Review
o Zoning Review
o Engineering Review
• TDM/Air Quality Fee
• Parks Development Fee
• City Use Tax
Of these fees, estimated to total $4.5 million dollars, 80% or $3.6 million will be earmarked to
moving and refurbishing of the Skier Chalet building at its new site. The Museum interior and
exhibits will be completed at the cost of the Aspen Historical Society. The skier services area
interior will be completed by Aspen Skiing Company at its cost.
The collective contributions from the re-directed fees, contribution from Gorsuch Haus and Lift One
Lodge will be approximately $5.6 million. The Aspen Historical society may elect to build a larger
facility with additional funding from other sources. The allocation of space on the third floor or
new basement area will be defined by their museum program and funding commitments.
D. Historic Lift 1 Bull Wheel and First Tower
• The historic lift and foundation will be moved 40-feet closer to Dean Street from where it is
currently located to accommodate staging and access to the replacement lift.
• The terminal and bull wheel and first historic tower will be refurbished and preserved in
alignment as a historic resource.
• A minimum of 25’ will be provided between the preserved tower and bull wheel and the new
Lift.
Cost-Sharing Proposal: The City will commission a study to determine the refurbishment and
preservation costs. Initially, $600,000 was escrowed as part of Lift One Lodge’s original commitment
for a surface lift to connect to the lift in its current location. This is no longer needed and will be
directed toward this historic resource. Any remaining costs necessary to fulfill refurbishment and
preservation requirements will be assumed by the City as a historic preservation cost.
E. Two Upper Historic Towers
• Two historic towers remain in the skiway above the historic terminal. These towers will be
relocated and restored.
• Storage of these towers would be part of the refurbishing process.
• Location of the relocated historic towers remains to be determined.
Page 6 of 9
i. Aspen Skiing Company has committed to evaluate, together with the City of Aspen,
whether there are mutually acceptable locations for the two towers along the historic
lift line on Aspen Skiing Company property. If mutually acceptable locations can be
agreed upon, and subject to County or USFS approval as may be required, Aspen Skiing
Company will authorize the City to place the two towers on its property and Aspen
Skiing Company will have control over them thereafter.
• If no mutually acceptable locations can be agreed upon, the City of Aspen will be responsible for
placement, management, maintenance of demolition of the two towers.
Cost-Sharing Proposal: Lift One Lodge will commit up to $50,000 to the refurbishment and
preservation of the towers. The placement of the towers will be determined with the Willoughby
Park and Lift One Park design but may include an upper mountain location or another location
offsite.
F. Tree Mitigation Willoughby Park and Lift One Park
• Tree mitigation is anticipated to address results of the lift, skiway, and Lodge construction. The
nature of ensuring the Lift Corridor functions for skiing requires removal of all existing trees and
maintenance of the ski way clear of large growth vegetation. Trail edge landscaping will be
subject to Aspen Skiing Company approval for functional assessment.
Cost-Sharing Proposal: Lift One Lodge will pay a tree mitigation fee of approximately $359,000 as
determined by DHM, which may be adjusted downward based upon an assessment of tree health.
This fee will be retained by the City to develop the Willoughby and Lift One Parks.
G. Willoughby Park and Lift One Park Improvements
• The Willoughby Park and Lift One Park property boundaries will need to be re-defined to
accommodate design modifications of Lift One Lodge.
• Use of sub-grade areas below Willoughby Park and Lift One Park will be permitted to
accommodate the public and private parking garage, ski patrol facilities and other uses
proposed by Lift One Lodge.
• The Skier Chalet Steakhouse building will be relocated, remodeled, repurposed and located on a
portion of Willoughby park, which will be re-subdivided and owned by Lift One Lodge.
• Lift terminal hardscape and access to the terminal will be required to allow the lift to function.
Cost-Sharing Proposal: The tree mitigation fees tied to Lift One Lodge will be assigned to park
improvements. In the park areas disturbed by the construction of the subgrade improvements, Lift
One Lodge will be obligated to restore the park to the cost of a turf grass condition. Costs associated
with any new facilities and improvements above this standard are the responsibility of the City of
Aspen Parks Department. Improvements directly associated with the lift within Willoughby Park in
the immediate vicinity of lift loading will be constructed by Aspen Skiing Company.
H. Mudflow and Storm Water Mitigation
• A joint updated mudflow and storm water analysis will be commissioned for the Lift Corridor by
Lift One Lodge and Gorsuch Haus.
Cost-Sharing Proposal: The revised mudflow and storm water analysis will jointly be paid for by
Gorsuch Haus Lift One Lodge. Gorsuch Haus, Lift One Lodge, Aspen Skiing Company, and the City of
Page 7 of 9
Aspen will collaborate to develop a comprehensive mudflow and storm water mitigation plan, with
each entity paying 25% of the cost. Gorsuch Haus and Lift One Lodge will individually cover costs for
mitigation for mudflow and storm water for their projects and/or on their properties. Solely if and to
the extent it is determined that mudflow and storm water mitigation is required for the
replacement of the lift which would have been required had neither Gorsuch Haus or Lift One Lodge
been built, Aspen Skiing Company will cover the costs for mitigation for such specified mudflow and
storm water. The City of Aspen will cover the costs of mitigation of mudflow and storm water for
park improvements. If any party determines that mudflow and storm water mitigation costs are too
excessive it can determine not to move forward with the project, provided that if the other parties
still desire to move forward, they can cover such costs.
I. South Aspen Street Road Maintenance
• South Aspen Street has provided access to existing properties and the existing ski lift for
decades. Due to the topography it is steeper than most other City streets, requiring more direct
maintenance to mitigate winter conditions.
• Of all options available to maintain the safety on this street, upgraded maintenance equipment
is the most feasible. Snow melting of the street is not considered appropriate, economically
viable, or environmentally responsible.
Cost-Sharing Proposal: Lift One Lodge will commit $62,000 to the City of Aspen toward the
equipment necessary to maintain the higher level of winter maintenance and a single payment of
$20,000 for required sanding materials.
J. Lift 1A Replacement
• The lift facilities will utilize portions of Willoughby Park and Lift One Park to accomplish the
objectives of lowering of the lift.
• There will be, at a minimum, 20-feet of clearance to the north of the terminal and a minimum of
20-feet clearance around the entire lift terminal for service and maintenance access.
• Aspen Skiing Company will own the lift equipment. They will also require ownership of surface
rights or perpetual easements for the placement, operation and maintenance of the new lift.
Cost-Sharing Proposal: Aspen Skiing Company will be responsible for the cost of the lift equipment
and they will work directly with the lift manufacturer to design and install the lift. Lift One Lodge will
be responsible for all costs associated with the sub-grade garage and structural support to enable
the lift placement.
K. Skiway
• A minimum of 60-feet of skiable/snowcat accessible space will be provided throughout the Lift
Corridor skiway.
• An easement will be required for the entirety of the Lift Corridor to enable Aspen Skiing
Company to conduct its maintenance, operations and control skier access.
• During non-ski season periods, Aspen Skiing Company will have vehicular and pedestrian access
throughout the ski way to support lift and snow making maintenance.
• Where sub-grade spaces and improvements are constructed under the skiway and associated
structures on the project site, structural load bearing capacity will be required to bear all loads
associated with Aspen Skiing Company uses, activities, equipment and improvements.
Page 8 of 9
• Any garage space under the skiway will include insulation sufficient to prevent snow melting on
the snow surfaces above and ensure that no snow degradation will occur.
Cost-Sharing Proposal: Lift One Lodge will be responsible for costs required to ensure structural
load bearing capacity and insulation to accommodate the skiway.
L. Snowmaking and Grooming Operations
• Aspen Skiing Company will need to operate and maintain snow and snowmaking throughout the
Lift Corridor throughout the ski season. This will require relief from City noise ordinances and
express authorization to do so from the City and acknowledgement of the noise related issues
from all neighbors, including Lift One Lodge and Gorsuch Haus. However, the Aspen Skiing
Company agrees that decibel levels for snowmaking, snow equipment operations, and lift
operations will not exceed those currently experienced by properties adjacent to the Silver
Queen Gondola.
• An easement will be provided to Aspen Skiing Company to enable placement and maintenance
of subsurface as well as surface snowmaking infrastructure throughout the Lift Corridor,
provided that Aspen Skiing Company will not be allowed to install snowmaking infrastructure
physically on the Dolinsek property (as compared to next to the property with the
understanding that snow will be blown on to, stored and farmed on and from the Dolinsek
property).
• Aspen Skiing Company will own all of its snowmaking infrastructure.
• Gorsuch Haus, Lift One Lodge and Aspen Skiing Company will coordinate to ensure efficient
snowmaking infrastructure build out.
• Insurance, protection of park improvements, and hold harmless agreements will be
incorporated.
Cost-Sharing Proposal: Aspen Skiing Company will construct the snowmaking system, operate and
maintain the skiway following completion of construction of Lift One Lodge and Gorsuch Haus. Each
of Lift One Lodge and Gorsuch Haus will provide the skiway to Aspen Skiing Company at their
respective costs to a turf grass condition.
M. Dolinsek Property
• The conservation easement held by the Aspen Valley Land Trust will be adhered to. No subgrade
space below or ski infrastructure construction on the Dolinsek Property will occur.
• The property will be developed as the Dolinsek Gardens and the existing home will be removed
consistent with the terms of the existing life estate.
• Skiing, skier mazing, grooming and the storage of snow will be permitted on the property.
• The Dolinsek Gardens will be developed such that the above activities can effectively and
functionally occur as contemplated (which may require clearance of spaces, tree removal or
replacement, landscaping decisions etc.).
• The ski functions identified, operational considerations, and liability releases necessary will be
completed to Aspen Skiing Company’s reasonable approval as a part of the land use approval
process.
Page 9 of 9
• The City of Aspen Parks Department has determined that soil nailing for subgrade elements can
occur under the Dolinsek property. Parks will provide a letter to this effect from representatives
of the Dolinsek donation.
• The City of Aspen will permit a transformer serving Lift One Lodge to be located on its vacated
portion of Gilbert Street adjacent to the Dolinsek property. In exchange, Lift One Lodge will
provide at its expense the installation of electrical service facilities to provide power for public
functions on the Dolinsek property.
Cost-Sharing Proposal: The costs associated with the public park improvements will be the
responsibility of the City of Aspen. The costs associated with Aspen Skiing Company’s ski season
activities (snow grooming, making etc.) shall be borne by Aspen Skiing Company subject to the
agreed upon liability release structure.
3. Process and Timing
Realization of the Lift 1A Corridor Plan vision is dependent on cooperation among the Stakeholder
group, a commitment by all to adhering to an efficient City process schedule and, following approvals,
an orchestrated construction timeline. As Stakeholders, we agree to the following:
• The Stakeholders will submit all land use applications to Community Development by the end of
August. The City will then follow its meeting schedule that will allow formal action on the
applications by November 26th with a referendum election expected in 2019.
• Subsequent detailed land use approvals will be completed in a timely manner by submissions of
Stakeholders and review by the City.
• Following approvals of the land use applications and the start of construction, there will be
construction coordination agreements among all parties, with an agreement to address and
resolve issues as they arise.
• The Lift will be built after the foundations and external vertical construction is completed for
both Lift One Lodge and Gorsuch Haus.
• A guaranty mechanism is contemplated to ensure that once any one of the projects is begun, all
of the projects will continue to completion.
