In accordance with Section 26.450.020 of the Aspen Municipal Code, the City Council of the
City of Aspen, Colorado, does hereby grant Temporary Use Permit approval to allow for the use
of the Holland House Ski Lodge as seasonal employee housing, subject to the following
conditions:
1. The temporary use is valid from December 13, 2005 to June 9, 2006.
The applicant shall seek and receive any necessary building permits for any interior or
exterior building modifications and be in compliance with all applicable building, fire
safety and utility codes.
The approval of this Temporary Use Permit does not affect the standing of the Holland
House Ski Lodge as a lodge and does not change its historic use in terms of the
application of the City of Aspen's land use regulations with regard to the entitlement of
the lodge to maintain it lodging unit replacement credits or invoking the replacement of
resident multi-family housing requirements.
All material representations made in the application and in the heating by the applicant
and the applicant's representative shall be considered conditions of approval, unless
amended by other conditions. While the applicant noted that approximately twenty-seven
(27) residents will be occupied, this approval does not place a limit on the number of
residents that may be occupied through this Temporary Use Permit.

This Resolution shall not affect any existing litigation and shall not operate as an abatement of any
action or proceeding now pending under or by virtue of the ordinances repealed or amended as
herein provided, and the same shall be construed and concluded under such prior ordinances.
