A. MAIN DISTR-LBUPIUN l.. Fire has been present in the existing current transformer cabinet. A two inch opening has burned through the side of the current transformer cabinet. Also the feeder conductors adjacent were damaged. a. The splices for the feeder conductors in the CT cabinet were inadequately applied. b. The CT cabinet is undersized for the size and quantity of service entrance conductors. c. The existing Cr cabinet has numerous openings that need to be closed. d. Verify with Utility Company that current transformer donuts are of proper size for service conductors, they appear undersized. 2. Service Entrance Conductors a. Service conductors are undersized for the building overcurrent protection. There are two service laterals each lateral contains six 400 MCM TM aluminum in four inch conduits. Per NEC 310 -15 note 8 and 310 -4, conductors shall be derated: 400 NjI THW has capacity of 270 amps. x 2 (number of services runs) = 540 amps. x 80% (duration per NEC 310 -15 note8) = 432 amps. The existing overcurrent protection is 600 amps. 3. Distribution Equ parent a. 200 anp three ;role service disconnect serves two single phase load centers. Separate 2 pole 3-wire disconnects shall be installed to replace the single Glory Hole Hotel - Electsip Observation December 19,1980 December 29,1980 ` - f 3 phase disconnect. Each 2 pole 3-wire disconnect shall serve the individual load centers. b. Feeder conductors from same 200 amp 3 -pole disconnect to adjacent load center are undersized. Overcurrent protection is 150 amps. Conductors are #1 aluminum (100 amp.). c. The above mentioned load center is also undersized. The main lugs are 100 amps. The overcurrent protection is 150 amps. Reference NEC 240 -3 and 384 -13. 4. Furnish Fault Current Calculations For Main Distribution System Values shall be provided for each piece of electrical distribution equipment.

The fault current calculations shall be accomplished and stamped by a Registered Colorado Engineer. 5. Service Entrance Conductors shall be of sufficient capacity to carry the loads as computed per Article 220 of NEC. The size of these conductors shall be deter- mined and stamped by a Registered Colorado Engineer. Reference NEC 230 -41. 6. Service Entrance Conductors, For Restaurant Feeder conductors on line side of service disconnect have chafed against enclosure, protection shall be provided to eliminate further chafing. These conductors are on the line side of this disconnect where there is no overcurrent protection. Verify the insulation is not damaged; if so, replace each corresponding conductor. 7. Verify or install service ground rod and grounding conductor per NEC. 8. Existing Hotel Wing's Load Panel On The 2ND Level a. The branch circuit load on each branch circuit shall not exceed 80% of the branch circuit rating. Load each branch circuit to its maxim= and verify the load is within the above statement. If not, provide corrective action. Repeat above fot main feeder. b. Remove storage equipment in front of load center so that panel is readily accessible per NEC 110 -16. c. Install load center cover and door. The following electrical discrepancies were also noted on the above subject during the observation. A. MAIN DISTRIBUTION 1. Main distribution disconnect switches have loose doors. Hinge screws on doors are missing. 2. Disconnect switch doors shall not be able to be opened when the switches are energized. 3. 200 amp 3 -pole disconnect at main has 1 feeder conductor crimped against the door mechanism and is chafing conductor. 4. Emergency disconnect conduit in electrical room is broken, exposing the conductors. 5. Main disconnect for restaurant: The service grounding conductor from this panel is aluminum. Aluminum is not recomm for grounding conductors. 6. Main distribution 600 amp 3 pole: unable to open door because of inadequate working space in front. Correct to comply with NEC 110 -16. 7. Nonmetallic (PVC) conduit is used above grade for main'service conductors. Only PVC conduit with UL label, on each conduit, indicating "above grade use "is acceptable per NEC 347. -2- s Glory Hole Hotel - Electric December 29,1980 oserva December 19,1980 8. Neutral Grounding Neutral conductor shall be grounded only at the service entrance, not at each distribution panelboard or loadcenter as done on this project. Reference NEC 250 -61, 384 -27. B. EXISTING HOTEL BUIIDING WING 1. Stairway emergency lights are broken or inoperable. 2. Exit lights are inoperable. 3.

The emergency circuit wiring shall be kept entirely independent of all other conductors per NEC 760 -28. 4. Load center in main electrical room: Load each branch circuit to its maximum and verify the load is 80% of branch device. If not, provide protective action. Repeat for the feeders. C. NEW HOTEL BUILDING WING 1. Subdistribution panel in basemrent: Aluminum feeder terminations are not oxidized. 2. Feeders from subdistribution panel in basement to adjacent panelboard: The conduit is undersized for the quantity and size of conductors. 3. Subdistribution panel to sauna: Feeder conductors are undersized #2 alivainum is .rated for 90 asps. Overcurrent protection is 100 amps. 4. Panelboard adjacent to distribution switchboard in basement: Panelboard appears excessively loaded in that 42 circuits are supplied by 100 anp overcurrent protect- ion. Load each branch circuit and feeders to its maxim n and verify the load is less than 80% of.branch device.; If not, provide corrective action. 5. Rigid Nonmetallic Conduit Used Above Grade: a. PVC conduit, large sizes were noted installed, is used in exposed areas in the basement storage room and appears to be used above ceiling in the new wing. PVC conduit is approved for use above grade: however all PVC conduits are not suitable for use above ground The UL label on each conduit length will indicate if the conduit is " suitable for use above grade ", each section should be checked to assure that this is the proper kind of conduit. b. Conduit shall not be used in hollow spaces in buildings of fire - resistant construction PVC conduits are combustible and add products of conbustion and fuel contribution in the event of fire. Reference Section 300 -21 and 22 of NEC. C. PVC conduit shall not be used where subject to ambient temperatures exceeding those for which conduit-is approved. Large PVC conduit exist directly over the boiler this is not permitted per NEC 347 -3. d. PVC conduit shall not be used in a ceiling return plenum per NEC 300 -22. 6.

I Mr. Herb Paddock f December 31, 1980 L� Page 2- 6. Door installed in required 3 -hour occupancy separation at south west corner of Parking Garage. Hole appears to be cut by jack hammer. Question arises as to structural integrity of wall. Reinforcing steel has been exposed. Approximately one and one -half inches of concrete cover. 7. Label on twin tee is marked as follows: Stress Con Corp. P.O. Box 3357 Colorado Springs, Colorado Underwriters Lab Inc. Listing pre -cast concrete unit over 50 sq.ft. Issue Number 524 Fire Resistive Classification Design Numbers 1-942 P 909 P 910 P 911 See UL Fire Resistive Index. Plan indicates 2 -inch flange on twin tees with 3 -inch of lightweight concrete topping " PCI Design for fire resistance of precast prestressed concrete ".published by Prestressed Concrete Institute, indicates by Figure 7.3(a) that this assembly provides an approximate fire resistive rating of 2.5 hours. This being insufficient in providing the required 3 - hour fire resistive occupancy separation. Table 43 -A Item 34, requires a minimum cover of 2- inches of Grade A Concrete. General Note 8 on Sheet S -4 or original drawings specify: " Prestressed and precast concrete members, topping and cover shall provide 3-hour minimum fire resistive separation between basement and ground floor. Include 2 -1/2 inch minimum concrete protection around strands & reinforcement and 5 -3/4" minimum topping or 3" minimum topping with 3/4" monocote sprayed on under side surfaces. Furnish certified test results w/ underwriters laboratories approval of 3 -hour system. " Investigation of UL Design numbers on label indicate J -942 is the only floor system and its test has been listed for a 2 -hour system only. Monokote spray system has not been provided. ICBO Research Report No. 1578 indicates Monokote is an acceptable fire resistive material when applied to steel framing ( Copy attached.) A spray system on twin tees is certainly an acceptable means of providing a 3 -hour fire resistive assembly. However, I would recommend thorough research as to what product is used and conformance to ICBO Research Report for that specific product. Mr. Herb Paddock December 31, 1980 Page -3 8. Plans indicate trench drain in center of Parking Garage. Floor drains have been installed. Building drain is suspended from ceiling. Plans do not show provision for handling this water. See #4 above. Sec. 1102 (b). Provisions do not appear to have been met. 9. Door through required 3-hour fire resistive occupancy separation at south center of Parking Garage ( F -1 Occupancy) does not have label. Frame is labeled but label is illegible. Sec. 4306 (c). Cast in place wall in which this door is located has been "jack - hammered" in order to allow penetration of electrical and mechanical conduits. Electric conduit is non- metalic. Sec. 503 (c) 2 states: "The total width of all openings in any three hour fire resistive occupancy separation wall in any one story shall not exceed 25% of the length of the wall in that story" Under Sec. 4304 (e) penetrations are permitted ; however, they shall be as specified by this Section. 10. Remodeling additional construction occurs south of F -1 Occupancy (combustible) Section 1102 allows Group F -1 in conjunction with F -2 of H Occupancies to be considered a separate and distinct building providing certain conditions are met. Determination of Occupancy for restaurant addition. Approximately net 31 sq.ft.- 15 = 212 occ. Occupancy classification therefore is B -3. Provision of Sec. 1102 does not apply and building shall be considered as one with required occupancy separation of 3-hour fire resistive construction. Analysis for Minimum Type of construction Note on Sheet A -1 Anchorage Restaurant indicates Type IV H.T. Construction. (1976 UBC). Also provides for 2 -hour area separation walls. Sec. 505 (d) 1, requires that area separation wall must be a minimum 4 -hour fire resistive construction for Type IV Buildings. Sec. 103 requires application of the most restrictive requirements. By application of the above mentioned code sections, this building is one building with no area separation walls. Check ratio of mixed occupancy. Sec. 503 . Yard separation on 2 sides - 50% max. allowable increase. Fire Zone 2 (1973, 1976 uBC) Mr. Herb Paddock December 31, 1980 ti Page -4- 10. ( Continued ) Basic allow areas Table 5 Type V - 1 Hr.

Area separation walls meeting all requirements of Sec. 503 are required in order for this building to be constructed of any other type of construc- tion than Type II or Type I. 11. Corridor on East side of required 3 -hour occupancy separation has combustible construction in furred ceiling. ( See No, 10 above.) Ceiling height is in conflict with Sec. 3304. 12. Elevator equipment is located in an enclosed space under stairs in the south exit enclosure. Sec. 3308.requires "there shall be no enclosed usable space under stairs in an exit enclosure ", nor shall the open space under such stairways be used for any purpose. 13• Openings into exit enclosure on basement level are labeled, however, these labels are illegible. This enclosure also forms a portion of the required 3 -hour occupancy separation and the north door into this exit enclosure is required to be a minimum 3-hour fire resistive assembly. Mr. Herb Paddock December 31, 1980 Page - 5 - 14. Door providing access to mechanical equipment room from corridor• adjacent to exit enclosure was propped open. Sec. 1108 requires that Mechanical Equipment Rooms be separated from the remainder of the building by a minimum one hour fire resistive occupancy separation. Openings are required to be protected by assemblies of one hour fire resistive ratings. Door did not have required label. Frame is labeled however this label is illegible. Unable to determine the BTU Ratings of the gas fired equipment located in this room. 15. Exposed steel columns occur within this corridor. ( See N 10 above - Table 17A.) Walls in this corridor are covered with exposed lap wood siding. Table 43 -B requires that finish material be a minimum of Class II flame spread rating when applied to other than vertical exitways. Cedar has a flame spread classification of 70 or Class B. Therefore, per Table 42 -B this is an acceptable wall finish in horizontal exit ways. Door providing access to the sauna and is not a labeled assembly. ( Sec. 3304 (h). There occurs a penetration of the corridor wall approximately 3.5' West of the restroom door on the south wall of this corridor. As this corridor is in all probability serving an Occupant Load of 30 or more, the requirements outlined in Sec. 3304 (g)(h) should apply. As the plans available to me at this time do not indicate the existence of this portion of the subject building, further investigation is necessary to confirm the requirement. 16. Stairway occurs at East end of corridor mentioned above. Access to this stair is not lighted. A conflict arises as to the installation of this stair i.e. is it required. Sec. 3302 (a) 2. Sec. 3304 (f) states that dead end corridors cannot exceed 20 feet in length. As corridor providing access to this stair exceeds 20 feet, this stair is a required exit. Wall finish shall conform to Table 43 -B i.e. Class I flame spread. Cedar siding does not provide this required flame spread rating. 17. Ground floor lobby. Mechanical duct penetration occurs north of the center of the East wall of this lobby. Duct penetrates floor below and ceiling above. This is in direct conflict with Sec. 1706, Table 17 -A. It is possible that this duct is involved with remodeling of the Lobby, Restaurant Addition and is intended to be enclosed as required. Mr. Herb Paddock December 31, 1980 Page -6- 18. Ground floor Corridor. Telephone equipment panel located behind plywood doors penetrating required one hour fire resistive construction of corridor walls. Integrity of fire resistive wall has been violated. It does not appear that fire and draft stops have been provided as required by Sec. 2517 (f). b) Carpet has been applied to corridor walls and ceilings. Table 42 -B requires horizontal exit ways to be finished with a minimum Class II material. Flame spread 75 or less. c) Ceiling height in corridor measures 6 -feet - 9i- inches by wood frame projections from the ceiling. Seca 3304 (c) requires a clear height of 7 -feet measured at the lowest projection. 19. North Exit Enclosure - Ground Floor a) Door to exterior opens over a landing. Landing length is approximately 3' -6" in length. Sec. 3303 (h) requires landing length to be a minimum of 5 - feet. b) Along exitway, a step up of approximately 6- inches occurs. Although this occurs outside of building, Sec. 3301 (k) requires changes in elevation within a building of less than 12- inches to be by ramps. c) Stair width measures 384- inches. By actual head count ( i.e. 18 rooms with a minimum of 2 double beds each = 72 occupants. The occupant load per floor is greater than 50. Sec. 3305 {b) requires stairs to be a minimum of 44- inches. Sec. 3301 (d) states in part: The occupant load p ermitte d_ in any building or portion thereof shall be determined by dividing the floor area assigned to that use by the square foot per occupant as set forth in Table 33 - A. Gross area /Floor 6240 200 = 31.2 occ /floor. Application of Sec. 3301 (a) shows Occ. Load as: lst Floor 31.2 2nd Floor: 31.2 2 = 15.6 3rd Floor 31.2 4 = 7.8 Total Occ. Load Exiting 57+-6' from ground floor. This would indicate then that stair width is adequate, however, this will also limit the number of people per floor to a maximum of 33. i.e. 2nd Floor Occ, = 33 max. 3rd Floor (33) 50% = 16.5 9T 5 Occ. < 50 36" stair width O.K. Mr. Herb Paddock December 31, 1980 Page -7- 19. (Continued ) Sec. 3301 (d) Exception 2 states: "The occupant load permitted in a building or portion thereof may be increased above that specified in this Section if the necessary exits are provided. An approved aisle or seating diagram may be required by the Building Official to substantiate an increase in the occupant load." Summary: Two choices are available in this situation: 1.) No more than 33 occupants per floor ( difficult to enforce). 2.) Increase stair width to accommodate probable occupant Load of 72 per floor. c. Head Room measures 6 -feet 2- inches . Sec. 3305 (o) requires 6ft. -6in d. One handrail provided ( See b above) Sec. 3305 (i) requires hand rail on both sides of stair. 20. South exit enclosure a. Same conditions outlined in Number 19 above. b. Exit enclosure is not provided with one hour corridor on the ground floor as required by Sec. 3308 (d) i.e. no openings other than exit doors. Sec. 3308 (c). 21. Guest Rooms a. All rooms have been provided with an additional bar type sink. DWV is provided exposes in alternating rooms. This is not a code problem. b. Carpet applied as wall covering. Table 42 -B. requires this finish to have a Class III Flame Spread. c. Building is approved for Type V - 1 Hr. construction. Rough sawn beams are used in construction. Recent questions have been addressed as to the equivalency of H.T. substitution for one hour fire resistive construction. At the 58th Annual Conference of the International Conference of Building Officials held in Albuquerque, a proposed change to the UBC allowing this equivalency was overwhelmingly disapproved. d. Rooms 117, 118, 217, 218, Flues penetrated at least penetration of floor be ei rating of a min. one hour exposed the flue pipes in as required. 317 and 318 had fire places installed. 2- floors. Sec. 1706 requires that iclosed in a shaft having a fire protection fire resistive construction. Workers had Room 218 and the shaft had not been constructed Mr. Herb Paddock December 31, 1980 Page -8- 21. (Continued ) d. These flues terminated within the building. There was no indication within the rooms that these fireplaces were not usable. e. Hearths were of insufficient size to comply with Sec. 3707 (k) (1). Combustible projections do not comply with Sec. 3707 (h). 22. Maid Closet - Ground Floor. Integrity of one hour corridor violated. Door providing access had been field cut and label reapplied. 2 3. Corridors on all floors did not provide clear direction to South exits by required signs. Sec. 3312 (b). 24. Structural beam failure in Room 318. Structural analysis indicates replacement/ repair is required. 25. Balconies have been provided with guard rails measuring approximately 37- inches. The 1973 UBC Sec. 1716 required guard rails of 42 -inch minimum height. 26. Roof. a. Roof hatch access measures 22" x 38 ". This is not required in a 3 -story building. ( South exit enclosure Sec. 3305 (1). b. Roof drains have been provided. However, they are required as parapet has been installed on exterior walls. Sec. 3207 requires that overflow drains or scupper also be provided. Roof has been designed to support a 50 PSF Live Load. Parapet measures approximately 18- inches or a potential of 94 PSF Live Load should roof drains become inoperable. c. Plumbing vent terminations do not conform with Sec. 506 of the 1976 Uniform Plumbing Code which states: "(I) Each vent pipe shall extend through its flashing and shall terminate vertically not less than (6) six inches above the roof nor less than one foot from any vertical surface. (II) Each vent shall terminate not less than 10 feet from or at least 3 feet above any window, door, opening, air intake or vent shaft, nor less than 3-feet in every direction from any lot line; The vent system added for bar sinks in Number 21 above violate (1) above and the original vents violate (II) above. _.. _..._...... . Mr. Herb Paddock December 31, 1980 Page -9- 26. d. ( Continued ) There occurs a cable ( unknown use) extend across the roof of the 3 -story portion of this building. From the 1st utility pole on the East to the first utility pole on the West. This cable is in direct contact with the east parapet wall and approximately 4- inches above the West parapet wall. Concerns of this condition are as follows: 1.) Does utility company have a proper easement across this building ? 2.) Article 820 -11 (c) requires that community antenna television and rapid distribution systems cable passing over roof be at least 8 -ft. above the surface. e. Plan of building shows 2 -hour area separation wall. ( See #10 above). This area separation wall does not terminate in accordance with Sec. 505 (d). 27. Exposed wood on balcony decks. Providing plywood used is of exterior grade there is no code related problem. 28. Rooms 118, 218, 318 have sleeping rooms without required ventilation and emergency egress. Sec. 1304 and Sec. 1305. 29. Structural Frame H.T. beams on north side of lobby have been cut in such a manner that the integrity of the frame has been lost. Immediate correction action is recommended. The above comments apply to Field Report dated Dec. 18,1980. The following comments apply to additional observations not outlined in the original Field Report. 30. Weld plates provided for twin tee floor ceiling in Parking Garage at exterior bearing foundation walls have not been welded per plans. 31. East Wing - Second Floor Guest Rooms have all been provided with fixed windows. Guest Room Doors measure 2 -ft. 7- inches. Sec. 3303 requires all required exit doors to be 3 wide. 32. Ventilation has not been provided for bath rooms in this wing. Sec. 1305. 33. East side of East wing measures approximately 8ft. -8in. to next adjacent building. There is an exterior exit balcony on this wing approximately 13-ft. 8 -in . from adjacent building. As Improvement Survey does not include balconies and dimensions to property line from balconies, for the benefit of clarification, application of Sect. 504 (c) will be applied. Mr. Herb Paddock December 31, 1980 Page -10- 33. (Continued) 13' -8" separation = 6.8' separation to assumed property line. ( See Number 10 above for minimum type of construction allowed.) Table 5 -A Type IV and V Buildings 1973 Fire Zone 2 requires exterior wall to be protected by one hour fire resistive construction.

Galena St. Aspen, Colorado 81611 Dear Members: ASPEN i PiTti1" PLANNING vF i c This is an application by Mr. Hans Cantrup pursuant to 24 -3.3 of the Aspen City Code for the approval of the modifi- cation and enlargement of a conditional use. Specifically it is for the approval of the rebuilding of the Captain's Anchorage which is a restaurant located in the L2 Zone and therefore a conditional use. The Captain's Anchorage has been in existence for several years. The building is now in a run down state and it is the intent of the applicant to redesign and rebuild the restaurant pursuant to the plans attached to this application. The restaurant presently contains 3000 square feet and it is simply economically unfeasible to completely rebuild the restaurant without an addition of square footage. Therefore, the redesigned restaurant will contain a total of 4500 square feet. The applicant submits that the above request meets with all requirements and therefore respectfully requests your approval. Sincerely, GARF & HECHT Ashley Anderson AA:d Encl.

Y NOTICE NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that a public hearin Aspen Planning and Zoning Commission on Tuesday, to begin at 5:00 P.M., in City Council Chambers, South Galena, Aspen, to consider an expansion of Captain's Anchorage. Further information may be 130 South Galena, Aspen, 925 -2020, ext. 226. I will be held before the December 18, 1979, at a meeting 2nd Floor, City Hall, 130 a condition use of the obtained from the Planning Office, /s/ Olaf Hedstrom Olaf Hedstrom, Chairman Aspen Planning and Zoning Commission MEMORANDUM TO: Aspen Planning and Zoning Commission FROM: Sunny Vann, Planning Office RE: Captain's Anchorage - Conditional Use Expansion DATE: April 18, 1980 The applicant in question, Mr. Hans Cantrup, wishes to modify and expand the Captain's Anchorage Restaurant, a conditional use in the L -1 zone. The modification and /or expansion of a conditional use requires the review and approval of the Planning and Zoning Commission prior to issuance of a building permit. The review involves a determination as to: 1. Whether the proposed use otherwise complies with all require- ment imposed by the Zoning Code. 2. Whether the proposed use is consistent with the objectives and purposes of the Zoning Code and the applicable zoning district. 3. Whether the proposed use is designed to be compatible with surrounding land uses and uses in the area. In addition, Mr. Cantrup entered into an agreement with the City, dated October 18, 1979, which required him to remodel the Captain's Anchorage in such a manner as to eliminate a deficiency in open space which presently exists on the property. The Planning Office has reviewed Mr. Cantrup's preliminary plans for the Captain's Anchorage and has determined that the proposed structure is con- sistent with the objectives of the L -1 zone district and is compatible with surrounding land uses. In addition, the proposed modification and expansion appears to comply with all requirements imposed by the Zoning Code and the agreement between Mr. Cantrup and the City. The Planning Office therefore recommends approval of this application subject to: 1. The modification and expansion of the structure complying with all requirements imposed by the Zoning Code. 2. A final determination of compliance with area and bulk requirements to be made at such time as working drawings are submitted for a building permit. 3. The modification and expansion of the proposed structure comply- ing with the stipulations outlined in the agreement between Mr. Hans Cantrup and the City of Aspen, dated October 18, 1979. MEMORANDUM TO: Aspen Planning and Zoning Commission FROM: Sunny Vann, Planning Office RE: Captain's Anchorage, Conditional Use Expansion, Policy Determination DATE: December 13, 1979 The modification or expansion of a conditional use requires the review and approval of the Planning and Zoning Commission prior to issuance of a building permit. In addition, the modification or expansion must comply with all requirements imposed by the zoning code or have received a variance from the Board of Adjustment. The review of a conditional use modification or ex- pansion by the Planning Office and the Planning and Zoning Commission involves a determination as to: Whether the proposed use otherwise complies with all requirements im- posed by the zoning code. Whether the proposed use is consistent with the objectives and pur- poses of the zoning code and the applicable zoning district, and, Whether the proposed use is designed to be compatible with surroun- ding land uses and uses in the area. Implicit in the above is the submission of sufficient information with regard to the proposed modi- fication -or expansion to allow a determination of compliance, consis- tency and compatibility. The applicant in question,11r. Hans Cantrup, wishes to modify and expand the Captain's Anchorage Restaurant, a conditional use in the L1 Zone. The appli- cant's proposal, as submitted to the Planning Office, appears to exceed the zone's allowable external floor area ratio, although sufficient materials have not been provided to enable a clear determination of the project's com- pliance with applicable area and bulk requirements. In the opinion of the Planning Office, an application before the Planning and Zoning Commission for the modification or expansion of a conditional use must comply with all appli- cable zoning requirements or have received a variance from the Board of Adjust- ment. It is the policy of the Planning Office not to forward an application to the Commission until compliance with the code has been determined or until such time as the office is notified as to the applicant's receipt of a variance. The applicant wishes to obtain approval of his conditional use expansion from the Planning and Zoning Commission prior to seeking a variance from the Board of Adjustment. In the opinion of the Planning Office, the consideration of such approval is inconsistent with the intent of the Zoning Code and could unnecessarily prejudice the decision of the Board of Adjustment. The Planning Office therefore respectfully requests that the Planning and Zoning Commission concur with our procedural policy and refer the applicant to the Board of Adjustment.
