By adhering to a set of personal goals I hope to establish a solid guide by which I can evaluate my progress and result­ ing achievements. o To understand those implications and peculiarities involved in the area of resort architecture, as this is a project type I am interested in pursuing in the future. o To clarify in my mind the "complete" architectural process, from client/architect contact to program­ ming methodology and pre-design through design synthesis to schematic presentation. o To formulate, understand and follow a workable methodology for analyses and synthesis generation. o Through the completion of the above goals as well as maintaining a developer/designer relationship throughout the project, understand the role of the developer and how that developer affects the intro­ duction and outcome of a project. STATEMENT OF PROJECT: PROJECT NEED PROJECT SCOPE PROJECT FOCUS CLIENT CONSIDERATIONS STATEMENT OF PROJECT PROJECT NEED: There is a current demand for 2,450 beds per night dur­ ing the ski season. The summer season may approximate the winter season. This demand is projected to rise to 5,423 by 1992 , according to the Big Mountain Ski Area's Master Plan. There currently exist 1,080 beds on the mountain, and 1 ,802+^ in Whitefish, not including timesharing facilities. The growth plan for Big Mountain will add approximately 1,620 beds by 1992 to those now existing. The Viking Project may add as many as 1,078 additional beds, bringing the total to perhaps as many as 5,872+_ in the Whitefish area. In addition, other hotel/motel/timesharing/condominium projects will undoubtedly be constructed in the area. At the minimum, four other major hotel/convention complexes are in the early stages of planning. However, it should be pointed out that apparently only 801 of the beds on Big Mountain and M% of the beds in Whitefish are attributable to skiers during the ski season. The mountain anticipates approximately three times as many skiers by 1992 , so even the projected, known number of beds to be added will leave room for the additional development of hotel/motel facilities, as well as the construction of recreational condominiums that will be avail­ able by the night or by the week. (Source: From a report prepared by Jerry Hanson, Proper ty Consultant, Whitefish, Montana, 1984.) (Note: Additional justification for this project is related in the section titled "Project Feasibility/Cost Analyses" in this document.) PROJECT SCOPE: The scope of this project is to include: o Programming and analyses, and implementation of facilities required for a 300-room convention hotel above and beyond those specifically requested by client/developer. o Full site development, to include: on-site parking marina beachfront all open areas o Precedent research, for spatial sizing o Design of hotel/convention facilities to include room layouts, administration, public and conven­ tion facilities. The scope of this project will not include: o Specific design of kitchen or laundry facilities other than aspects of adjacencies, circulation, spatial allotments. o Additional off-site parking areas unless they need to respond directly to the architectural solution. "Detailed" sizing of mechanical systems, light­ ing and structure, although if it is found that any of these may radically affect certain aspects of the architectural solution(s) they may well be included within the scope of this proj ect. PROJECT FOCUS: Focus will primarily be on the design of the hotel, org­ anization, image, circulation patterns, form and materials, as well as its relationship to the site and surrounding areas. Attention will also be paid to an efficient marina facility to be integrated with the hotel/hotel site. CLIENT CONSIDERATIONS: CLIENT: Sterling Investments, Inc. of Canada DEVELOPER: Jericho Group, Whitefish, Montana CONSIDERATIONS: o A 300-room convention hotel to occupy the site of the now demolished "Viking Lakeshore Inn," as well as additional adjacent land to the north, recently purchased by Sterling Investments, Inc. o Convention facilities for 500-600 persons, as well as dining and recreational facilities. o Maintain the character and fabric of the Whitefish area. o Anticipation of management by Hilton Hotels, Inc. o Make use of potential recreational activities inherent in the site, the region, and those typically seen in resort hotels. o First rate, quality construction and image, second to none in the region. o Preferred precedents: Grouse Mountain Lodge, Whitefish, MT; Kandahar Lodge, Big Mountain, Whitefish, MT. o Budget $20,000,000 ($60-70,000 per unit), includes site development as well as all hotel facilities. o Use additional land across Wisconsin Avenue (also owned by Sterling Investments, Inc.), if needed.

The subject properties were recently purchased by Sterling Investments, Inc., the owners of the existing Viking Lakeshore Inn properties. The Viking properties are currently zoned WRB-2, General Resort Business. With the addition of the recently purchased properties, Sterling Investments now desires to amend their site plan as previously sub­ mitted to allow for greater flexibility in site plan configuration. This new site plan would place the hotel complex further to the north, allowing for numerous benefits to be gained by the community as well as by the owners, such as buffer areas and more landscaped areas per area of building. With the currently zoned WRB-2 properties only to deal with, re­ development of a hotel facility allows for little more than the required setbacks for each side of the structure, and intensively utilizes the 320'± of lakeshore now zoned WRB-2. As Sterling Invest­ ments has now unified ownership of approximately a total of 735'± of frontage, they would like to "spread out" a bit, effectively reducing the intensity of impact on the frontage, and thereby mini­ mizing the visual and aesthetic impacts on the area. HOW WILL THE PROPOSED CHANGE ACCOMPLISH THE INTENT AND PURPOSE OF: A, PROMOTING THE MASTER PLAN? The rezoning of the subject properties as requested will serve to promote the Master Plan as will be outlined below. The City of Whitefish did, in May of 1978, adopt Resolution # B-778, which implemented the Comprehensive Plan for the Whitefish Planning Area. This Comp Plan is known as "...Chapter 2 of the Flathead County Comprehensive Plan..." The Comprehensive Plan Introduction clearly states that development be encouraged which "...strengthen[s] residential neighborhoods and the central business district, and that encourage[s] development of vacant land, yet provide[s] opportunities for commercial uses oriented toward resort services." (p 2-1, emphasis added). Again, the Plan states that "The economic vitality of the Whitefish...area depends on ...tourism [and] proximity to recreational areas coupled with the tourist facil ities.. .contributed] to the increasing economic import­ ance of tourism." (p 2-2) The portion of the Plan listing Economic Recommendations adds, "Vacant land should be utilized to provide diverse options for employment, residence, and recreation." (p 2-2) The Comprehensive Plan addresses several areas of concern. Below are references to each of those areas of concern, with a commentary for each provided to link it to our request. Community Facilities: The plan recommends (p 2-5) that "New develop­ ment. . .should be encouraged in areas adequately served by municipal water and sewer lines." i J L J " 10" Aewemye wutn and an lO^-irerhn1 main the biwdamy w»f the nmrfty ••n1 ir • n Jin • i" j i ' H j j ?»T n i Existing Land Use: "The influence of the...tourism...is reflected in existing land use patterns." (p 2-6) Also added is a statement to the effect that "...expansion of tourist facilitites and related c o m m e r c i a l s e r v i c e s h a s o c c u r r e d n o r t h a l o n g W i s c o n s i n A v e n u e . " (p 2-6). This pattern is clear evidence that tourist and resort facilities will naturally develop near the amenity that is the primary attraction for an area. The Viking Lakeshore Inn is but one of many 'resorts' along Whitefish Lake, and has the distinction of now being virtually the sole survivor as the transition has been made from cabin camps to motels and hotels. To allow expansion of a tourist oriented facility in an existing tourist use location appears to be in keeping with the Comp Plan. Future Land Use: The Land Use Plan portion of the Comprehensive Plan provides the greatest number of recommendations, two of which are given below: " 5. Development opportunities for under-utilized land should be explored, (p 2-8) " 6 New development should add...commercial...support such as...resort...facilities. (p 2-8) In considering the first recommendation given above, that under­ utilized land should be developed, we can easily see that to allow 2.67± acres of land fronting on Whitefish Lake, which has the reputation of having the most expensive lake frontage in the State of Montana, to lie idle is to under-utilize the property. Currently, the property has an old house which has been abandoned, a garage in marginal repair temporarily used as a boat storage facility, and a very low quality house that was moved in from Hungry Horse when the Bureau of Reclamation closed out most of the government housing following the construction of Hungry Horse Dam in the mid-fifties. Total value of the buildings would not exceed a few thousand dollars, and currently constitute an inappropriate use of the land. Current zoning would permit, following an extensive subdivision process, a maximum of 19 single family dwellings, assuming the subdivision was done as a P.U.D. Without going through a subdivision process, five (5) single family dwellings could be constructed with the present zoning. Assuming P.U.D. approval, each lot would have to sell for an average of $50,000 to $75,000 each for the owner to recover his initial land cost plus costs of development. Without subdividing further, each of the existing five lots comprising the subject properties would have to sell for an average of $100,000 to $150,000 per lot. While lots in the Whitefish Area, particularily those with frontage on Whitefish Lake, do sell for prices that may approach or exceed these prices, several factors do suggest that the zoning currently and arbitrarily placed upon these properties is not in the best interest of either the owners or the community, nor does it provide for Highest and Best Use of the property. For example, there are vacant lots fronting on Whitefish Lake that are equal or far superior to any of the subject lots that are on the market for prices equal to or less than would be required were the owner to sell these lots, and these other properties apparently cannot be sold. Therefore, the marketplace seems to be indicating that the current zoning may have placed the property in a limbo wherein the owners cannot afford to develop the property as it is currently zoned, even if that was their intent. Further analysis of the current zoning, taking into account the cost of purchasing a building site for a single family dwelling, either as is or following a P.U.D., suggests that overtones of Exclusionary Zoning may exist. Few residents of Whitefish, wherein the per capita income is $7275 per year (1979) can afford building lots of this expense. Therefore, one can deduce the current zoning not only would perhaps perpetuate an under-utilization of the land, it would continue to constitute an impairment to the owners as they develop their other properties, and would force the availability of its eventual use into a market representing a.very minute or non-existent fraction of our society. Based on this analysis, the current zoning appears to be in direct conflict with the present Comprehensive Plan. In comparison, the requested zoning classification, General Resort Business, would allow for the development of the subject properties to their very Highest and Best Use in conjunction with the proposal to reconstruct the Viking Lakeshore Inn. This would insure development that was not an under-utilization of the land, and would comply with Recommendation # 6 of the Land Use portion of the Comp Plan by allowing the property to be utilized as a part of a well planned resort facility. Comprehensive Plan Map: In conjunction with the Comprehensive Plan text for the Whitefish Area, a map entitled "City of Whitefish and Vicinity" (Map - 2) was provided which designates elements of the General Plan. This map designates areas in and around the community which should be intended for residential usage, commercial uses, industrial uses, and provides for the intensities of each such use. THIS MAP VERY CLEARLY DESIGNATES THE SUBJECT PROPERTIES AS BEING INTENDED FOR Commercial Services. Please refer to Map -2 of the Comp Plan. The rezoning of these properties to the requested General Resort Business classification will bring the zoning for the subject properties into STRICT COMPLIANCE with the Comprehensive Plan for the Whitefish Community area. While the Zoning Commission recommendations which were presented to the City Council in the Fall of 1981 were deemed by them to "substantially comply" with the Comprehensive Plan, the zoning adopted finally on April 15, 1982 was diametrically contrary to the Comp Plan for the subject properties, and may be considered therefore to be subject to question. The rezoning as requested will serve to promote the Master Plan (Comp Plan) by correcting the deficiency. SUMMARY: The requested rezoning action can be defended by many aspects of the Comprehensive Plan, both in the text and on the map. To grant the requested General Resort Business classification will serve to correct a specific instance of non-compliance in the existing zoning, and will promote the Comprehensive Plan by bringing the Zoning Plan back into compliance. In addition, the rezoning to the WRB-2 will allow development of the Sterling Investments properties to properly utilize the land to its Highest and Best Use, will contribute to the economic vitality of Whitefish, will provide tourist facilities proximate to the recreational areas, in particular Whitefish Lake, and is a logical extension of an already existing and approved land use of adjacent properties which virtually encompass the subject properties. LESSEN CONGESTION IN THE STREETS AND PROVIDE SAFE ACCESS? The new zoning (WRB-2) would allow the development of a resort facility on an expanded site. The site currently is 320'± in width, by some 4651± deep. Present plans for redevelopment call for continued ingress and egress at the points currently existing for the Viking Lakeshore Inn. With an expanded site permissible, these points of ingress and egress will be spread out, with probably no more than three accesses to the property. Under the existing zoning, as many as five (5) additional ingress and egress points will access Wisconsin. By eliminating the need for at least four of these access points, congestion in the streets will be lessened, and safety will be increased. Wisconsin Avenue is of sufficient width to accommodate the traffic now existing, and will be adequate for many years to come. Rezoning to allow movement of the hotel structure to the north will not affect traffic on Wisconsin in any appreciable way other than that noted above. SECURE SAFETY FROM FIRE, PANIC, OR OTHER DANGERS? The change in zoning from WR-1 to WRB-2 will not appreciably affect dangers from fire, panic, etc. Any facility proposed will undoubtedly be sprinklered and equipped with fire and smoke alarms, actually reducing the potential for personal danger that could occur should the property be developed as single family residential, which may not have the safety features a public facility would have. A resort facility would also have greater setbacks from the property lines than those required in residential uses, and would thereby lessen the danger of a fire spreading from one structure to an adjacent one. D. PROMOTE THE PUBLIC INTEREST, HEALTH, COMFORT, CONVENIENCE, SAFETY, AND GENERAL WELFARE? The requested rezoning will serve to promote the public interest, etc., by offering a major tourist facility located on Whitefish Lake that would be sited on an extensive frontage property. This would lessen the visual and aesthetic impact of placement of the hotel, and would serve to lessen congestion on the beach, thus preventing or minimizing the prospect of hotel guests encroaching on neighboring properties. As this property will be within the corporate limits of the City of Whitefish, all city services will be available, including water and sewerage, thus promoting the general health and welfare of both guests of the facility and of the community as a whole. PROVIDE ADEQUATE LIGHT AND AIR? The reques ted zoning wi l l permi t sh i f t ing of the hote l to the nor th which wi l l a l low for more open space to the south . Bas ica l ly , the rezoning wi l l a l low approximate ly the same s ized hote l to be con­ s t ruc ted on 5 .72 acres ra ther than on 3 .05 acres . Much of th i s addi t iona l acreage would be in landscaped a reas , o r a reas provided for outdoor recrea t ion; thus , the adequacy of l igh t and a i r to sur rounding proper t ies wi l l be enhanced . PREVENT THE OVERCROWDING OF LAND? The Master Plan designated this property, along with others in the area, as intended for Commercial Services. "Areas designated commercial provide for a range of activities from Neighborhood Shopping to General Business and office use as well as resort and recreational uses." (p 2-8, emphasis added). As it appears resort uses were anticipated in the Comprehensive Plan for this area, it would be reasonable to suggest the development of such would not be act of overcrowding of the land beyond that which was deemed proper in the Comprehensive Plan. In fact, the rezoning will alleviate the appearance of overcrowding of the present Viking Lakeshore Inn properties by allowing the same general facility to be spread out over a much larger parcel. TO AVOID UNDUE CONCENTRATION OF POPULATION? The new zoning would prevent an undue concentration of population by allowing the presently planned Viking redevelopment hotel to be "spread out". Again, as the new zoning complies with the Compre­ hensive Plan Map-2, it would not cause a concentration of popu­ lation beyond what was designated for the area. H. FACILITATE THE ADEQUATE PROVISION OF TRANSPORTATION, WATER, SEWERAGE, SCHOOLS, PARKS AND OTHER PUBLIC REQUIREMENTS? TRANSPORTATION: The site is adequately serviced by FAS 487 (Wisconsin Avenue). As its primary market, the facility would serve persons who will be coming to the area for other reasons, i.e. skiing, boating, golfing, etc., the increase in traffic directly attributable to this proposed development should not exceed the design capabilities of the streets and highways in the area. Nor should the traffic be considered to be traffic that would not be in the area irregardless, as most of that traffic will be coming to Whitefish for other reasons mentioned, anyway. WATER: A water main borders the property with a sufficient capacity to serve the developable potentials allowed under the new zoning. SEWER: The gravity flow sewer main bordering the property is adequate to handle the anticipated flow. SCHOOLS: As the occupants of the intended facility to be constructed on this site will be transient/tourist, no impact on schools will be forthcoming. Additional tax revenues will be available to the schools. Indirectly, the employees working at a new tourist facility may have children which will impact the schools, but this impact will have been addressed in whatever housing is occupied by those employees. PARKS: The impact of the new zoning will be to allow the development of resort facilities which will serve to lessen the pressure and the congestion at existing public parks and facilities, particularly those few located on the Lake. Rather than being a negative impact, this one aspect alone is sufficiently important to be given strong consideration. Tourist facilities, i.e. overnight accommodations located elsewhere in the community but not on the Lake, will add to the pressure placed on our existing facilities and accesses on Whitefish Lake, whereas the same facility located on the subject properties will be providing their own access and beach areas. POLICE: No extra-ordinary demands on the police are anticipated. As congestion at other public beaches, etc., may be lessened, any increase in service required under the new zoning may be offset by that lessened demand elsewhere. In any event, an increase in service should be offset as well by the increase in tax revenues, directly and indirectly, to the City of Whitefish. FIRE: Fire protection will be provided for by the Whitefish Volunteer Fire Department. The rezoning will result in structures of a commercial nature, which will be sprinklered, and meet all fire codes. The scope of activities permissible on the grounds of whatever tourist facility is constructed will be more fully supervised and controlled than would be the case currently or if the land were developed as single family residential. GIVES REASONABLE CONSIDERATION TO THE CHARACTER OF THE DISTRICT? Two aspects of this issue should be addressed: 1) Does the new zoning give reasonable consideration to the character of the DISTRICT? and 2) Does the new zoning give reasonable consideration to the character of the AREA? 1) Does the new zoning consider the DISTRICT? The subject property now lies in WR-1 Single Family Zoning District. The WR-1 District is intended for residential purposes to provide for single family or duplex dwellings in an urban setting serviced by all community and/or public utilities and facilities. [4.05.010 Whitefish Zoning Regulations] Residential Purposes is defined as "The intent to use and/or the use of a room or group of rooms for the living, sleeping, and housekeeping activities of persons on a permanent or semi-permanent basis of an intended tenure of one month or more." [2.19.11] A review of the WR-1 District in which the property is situated shows that of the thirty-five (35) property owners in the District, only ten (10) appear to be primary residences occupied by the owners. The other twenty-five (25) are either rental properties or are occupied as secondary or vacation residences. Twenty-four (24) of these are owned by non-residents of Whitefish. Fully 67.65% of the owners in this District are not full time Whitefish residents, and can be presumed to own because of proximity to the Lake and the availability of recrea­ tional opportunities. To suggest that this established WR-1 zone, with an ownership profile such as exists, and being surrounded by WRB-1, WRR-1, and WRB-2 zones, is a typical WR-1 Single Family Residential neighborhood is stretching the imagination to its utmost. The existing usage of this entire district appears to be more in keeping with a resort designation than it does to a residential designation. Therefore, a resort classification for the subject properties is in keeping with the existing resort-oriented character of the neighborhood and of the DISTRICT. In fact, the permanent residences in the District may actually be out of character with the predominant character of the entire District as it now exists. 2) Does the new zoning consider the AREA? The Viking Lakeshore Inn lies directly south of the subject properties, and offers 40± units as well as a bar and restaurant facility. This facility and acreage owned east across Wisconsin Avenue are slated for a major hotel/condominium project in the near future. This project will entail the entire designated WRB-2 District. The subject properties share approximately 658' of common boundary with the WRB-2 zoning district for that area. With the Lake to the west, and WRB-2 zoning on two sides, the subject property as it currently is zoned appears to be zoned out of character with the area, when you add to this the resort nature of the residential district in which it presently lies. On a broader basis, one can clearly see the subject properties and the entire district in which it lies is virtually an island of WR-1 sur­ rounded by Resort Zoning Districts. 10, GIVES CONSIDERATION TO PECULIAR SUITABILITY OF THE PROPERTY FOR PARTICULAR USES: This property is located between FAS 487 and Whitefish Lake's Monks Bay. Historically, the Lake has attracted tourists, and many tourist cabin camps developed along the Lake. Monks Bay was the site of at least three such cabin camps. In keeping with changing travel and vacation trends, these cabin camps were gradually displaced with "motels". The Viking Lodge was the first "motel type" such facility built on Whitefish Lake. With its location on a narrow strip of land between the highway and the Lake, this property appears to be more suited to its Master Plan designated use than it is to its presently zoned usage. As the Viking is the only such facility on Whitefish Lake, it appears reasonable to allow its expansion to en­ compass a larger parcel of land by granting the rezoning. PROTECT AND CONSERVE THE VALUE OF BUILDINGS: As the only buildings on the prperty are of minimal value, and will be removed prior to any development of any type, no safeguards need be taken to safeguard the value of existing buildings. The only buildings immediately adjacent to the area to be rezoned con­ sist of the Viking Lakeshore Inn structures, which are also slated for removal or demolition. The properties immediately to the north are vacant, a summer cabin, a rental house, and a single family residence. With the provision of additional open space and land­ scaped areas offered by a larger development site that the rezoning will permit, impact on existing and future adjacent properties and buildings will be minimal, and the rezoning will thereby serve to protect and conserve the value of nearby buildings and/or future buildings. 12, ENCOURAGE THE MOST APPROPRIATE USE OF LAND BY ASSURING ORDERLY GROWTH: Major hotel/convention center complexes often generate more accommo­ dation facilities in a spin-off fashion. An example is the many motels surrounding the Outlaw Inn in Kali spell. The subject proper­ ties are ideally suited for just such a "second generation" overnight facility. A rezoning now will incorporate the subject properties into a unified development plan under one owner and will preclude the possibility of rezoning several years down the road which might permit such a spin-off "economy" overnight facility. Therefore, rezoning now, with the properties under a unified ownership with the Viking Project, will allow both a most appropriate use and will provide for the very best of orderly growth. In addition, that growth will again be in keeping with the Master Plan designation for the area. PROPOSED ZONING AMENDMENT TO ALLOW FOR AN ALTERNATE HEIGHT LIMITATION The following zoning amendments are proposed as a means of permitting in certain commercial zoning districts provisions for buildings taller than currently permitted. 17.17.180 - Amend to read: BUILDING HEIGHT - The vertical distance measured from the average level of the highest and lowest point of that portion of the lot covered by the building to either a) half the height of the gable portion of the building, or b) to the highest point of the parapet wall on flat roofs, excluding elevator shafts, fireproof stairwells, mechanical units, or mechanical penthouses centrally located on the roof with an area not exceeding twenty-five (25) percent of the total building area. 17.17.185 - Added definition: BUILDING-HEIGHT CONTROL ANGLE - That angle established to control the relationship between the height of a building or structure and its setbacks from the property boundary lines. 17.17.186 - Added definition: BUILDING-HEIGHT CONTROL LINES - Lines extending upward from lot boundary lines at an angle appropriate to the Use District within which the lot or parcel lies, and which, when extended to their common meeting point, establish the Building Envelope for that specific lot or parcel. 17.23.020 - Delete entirely. 17.41.050 - Added chapter to General Provisions affecting Use Districts: The following standards shall apply to those Use Districts wherein building or structure height is controlled by means of a permissible building envelope rather than by a fixed height limitation. 1. The building envelope shall consist of that three dimensional volume of space contained within the extension of building- height control lines at the angles provided for each applicable Use District. 2. Building-height control lines shall be computed from a beginning point at the property boundary or lot line of the parcel upon which the building or structure is to be located. 3. No portion of any building or structure shall extend beyond the building envelope except those specifically excluded from height limitations. jericho group -- 4.

It is virtually impossible to achieve the latter without the former and consequently, it is vitally important that planning and design programs adhere to time-tested and proven concepts Since its inception many years ago, Hilton's Planning and Construction Department has devoted extensive time and effort to the development of acceptable architectural and design standards for typical guest rooms, multi-purpose rooms, suites and corridors. Although there are well-designed rooms across the country which do not follow these standards, we have incorporated innovative configurations and amenities which convey image factors unique to Hilton. At our corporate headquarters, in Beverly Hills, California, we maintain a research and design structure functioning as a 'working laboratory7 for the development and testing of criteria and the display of model rooms. The following written data and illustrations convey, graphically and dimensionally, minimum planning and design standards for those areas to which all architectural/ engineering plans and specifications for Hilton properties must conform. ROOM TYPES DISTRIBUTION ANALYSIS Preliminary architectural plans which have been approved by the regional office and Hilton's Director of Planning and Construction, are submitted to the corporate offices for analyses: Room Numbering System Distribution and Types of Typical Rooms Distribution and Types of Special Accommodations Distribution and Types of Suites Location of Communicating Doors Room-Rate Programming The foregoing analysis is predicated on marketing studies prepared by retained consultants, coupled with specialized considerations for the specific property. Generally, Hilton's distribution format for rooms, exclusive of suites and other special accommodations, is: 70% Double/Doubles 20% Kings 10% Pivots (Studio/Doubles) Subject to specific analysis, approximately 50% of the Typical Rooms are designated 'connecting' or 'communicating'. In a 300-room property, for example, 150 rooms will 'communicate' (75 sets of connecting doors). DESCRIPTIONS — TYPICAL ROOMS, SPECIAL ACCOMMODATIONS/SUITES TYPICAL ROOMS Double/Double — See Plate I Two 4' - 6" wide beds separated by a nightstand and containing a chest of drawers, a game table with two comfortable occasional chairs and other furnishing elements shown on the plans. King — See Plate I One 6' - 6" wide bed, flanked by two nightstands. Other furnishings are identical to those in the Double/Double room. Pivot (Studio/Double) — See Plate I An L-shaped parlor/sleeping room with a custom-fitted 4'- 6" 'day bed' and a comfortable sofa bed, separated by a desk/vanity unit. Additionally, the room will contain a chest of drawers, a comfortable lounge chair, a coffee table and other indicated furnishings. The pivot room is virtually always programmed as the 'parlor7 of a potential 3-room accommodation, with a connecting king and/or double/double bedroom. This unique and versatile room is, in effect, a one-room suite and is particularly well adapted for use as an executive accommodation or as a 'famil/ room. SPECIAL ACCOMMODATIONS Wall Bed — See Plate II One counter-balanced, retractable bed unit (Sico or equal), 4' - 6" wide with an adjacent desk/chest unit and other indicated furnishings. As the plan illustrates, these accommodations are designed in pairs for the most- effective utilization of space. The rooms are convertible, in minutes, from standard sleeping rooms to small meeting rooms for 10 to 15 people. The transition is made without removing furnishing items. Due to its unique shape, the wall bedroom can be marketed as a 'premium single' and should be maintained in a bedroom configuration until needed for a meeting facility. Multi-Purpose — See Plate III A convertible one-room suite/function room composed of two guestroom modules. The plan illustrates two adjoining multi-purpose rooms — one shown as a well- appointed suite, with two double beds, and the other as a conference room with a portable boat-shaped table and 12 commodious executive chairs. When desired, the function room can be set up with banquet tables and chairs to accommodate 25 to 30 people. By converting one of the guestroom baths to a wet-bar, the meeting room adapts, graciously, into a private dining room in which instance the spacious entry foyer can serve as a staging area for food service. Note that a pair of imposing, out-swinging entry doors have been incorporated to add 'stature' and to facilitate furnishing changes. Where conditions permit, multi-purpose and wall bedrooms should be located on the floor level containing the main kitchen, restaurants and banquet rooms, so that food and beverage can be served effectively. A storage room should be provided, in a convenient location, for banquet tables, stacking chairs, audio-visual equipment, etc. Multi-purpose rooms require supplementary ceiling lighting. Architect shall review recommended layouts with Hilton (recessed and/or surface mounted). SUITES Luxury — See Plate V One of many furnishing layouts is illustrated — a two-module parlor/dining room with communicating double/double and/or king bedroom. The parlor/dining room can be sold, independently, as an entertainment parlor or as an over-night sleeping accommodation with sofa bed. Townhouse — See Plates VII and VIII The bi-level 'Townhouse' or 'duplex studio' contains a convertible parlor/bedroom on the lower level and a traditional bedroom, usually a king, in the 'loft' or upper level. Two types are illustrated — spiral stair and straight stair. Communication between the two levels is by an 'internal' stairway but each level is accessible, independently, from the two adjoining corridors. These interesting and dramatic suites are used sparingly because the 'atrium' configuration precludes marketing each level separately. ARCHITECTURAL CRITERIA — ROOMS CONFIGURATIONS/DIMENSIONS — See Plate I 1. The illustrated geometric configurations are mandatory — 'indented' entry doors, closet adjacent to bath and broadside to corridor, etc. 2. Typical rooms shall be 13'- 0" wide x 18'- 0" long (net inside dimensions) ex­ clusive of bath and entry foyer. Rooms with two queen beds (used infrequently) require a minimum length of 19' - 0". 3. The room width (13' - 6" on center) is not needed to accommodate the il­ lustrated furnishings but is required to achieve the spacious entry foyer delineated on the plans. The entry foyer configuration permits the inclusion of bar/lavatory units and other optional elements shown on Plates IX and X. 4. The accompanying plans provide for a 5' - 0" wide bathroom and a 3' - 0" wide entrance door. The widths of the plumbing/vent shafts and the closets are 'variable' but a minimum closet width (inside dimension) of 3' - 0" is man­ datory. 5. Minimum permitted ceiling height in sleeping area shall be 8' - 0". 6. Suspended ceilings over baths, closets and entry foyers are recommended but not mandatory. Minimum suspended ceiling heights shall be 7'- 0". 7. Fan/coil, multi-pipe HVAC units, when installed in suspended ceiling areas, shall be mounted in the plenums above the entry foyers so that the supply grilles will be remote from the bed walls. Where 'thru-wall' HVAC units are specified, they must not be installed in the window walls immediately adjacent to the bed walls, but should be positioned, preferably, in solid walls (floor to ceiling) immediately opposite the room entry doors (see king bedroom on Plate I). This will prevent convection currents from discomforting sleeping guests. In the event that thru-wall units are installed in bulkheads below windows, it is recommended that the units be contained within wall-to-wall enclosures to per­ mit acceptable drapery installations of blackout and casement fabrics, with floor- to-ceiling installation of the decorative overdrapes which will be installed im­ mediately forward of the closures. 8. Wet bars — (Plate VI) and convertible vanity/lavatories (Plate IX) shall be detail­ ed and specified in the architectural contract documents. Decorative finishes (plastic laminate, wall and floor materials, etc.) will be sup­ plied to the architect, by Hilton, as part of the.interior design program for the rooms and related areas. FINISHES — WALLS, FLOORS AND CEILINGS 1. All walls in the guestroom entry foyer and closet shall be covered in serviceable- weight wall vinyl, 12 ounces per square yard. The vinyl shall be installed 'floor to ceiling' to off-set the need for bases. Applied carpet bases, 4" high, may be specified, if desired, but should not be installed with cap mouldings. Exposed edges of carpet can be coated with clear cement to avoid raveling. 2. All floor areas (with exception of baths) in typical rooms, including entry foyers and closets, shall be carpeted. 3. Suspended ceilings over baths, closets and entry foyers shall be 'drywall', prepared for painting — smooth or sand finish. The ceiling in the sleeping area is to be prepared for painting — smooth or sand finish. The use of integrally- colored, spray-applied textured plaster will be permitted only where irregularities in the underside of poured-in-place concrete slabs necessitate a finish of this nature. 4. Acoustical tile ceilings, of any nature, will not be permitted in any portions of the guestroom buildings — rooms, baths, corridors and elevator foyers. It will be the architecf s responsibility to convey this hard and fast ruling to the mechanical and electrical engineers who may request 'lay-in' tile installations in certain areas, to facilitate accessibility to mechanical and/or electrical devices. DOORS 1. Guestroom entry doors shall be 3'- 0" x 6'- 8"/7'- 0" x 1 3A", solid core, with hardwood veneer surfaces suitable for painting. Metal frames are acceptable but hollow metal doors will not be approved. 2. All entry doors must be equipped with Hilton-approved locksets, security locks and 'peek-hole' devices. 3. Communicating rooms shall have one set of two doors, 2'- 8" x 6'- 8"/ 7'- 0" x VA". Doors shall be solid core, flush panel with hardwood veneer surfaces suitable for painting. Doors shall be mounted in double-rabetted frames and acoustically sound-stripped. Doors shall be equipped with Hilton-approved latchsets and security locks. 4. All secondary doors to balconies, as well as ground floor doors to parking and recreational areas, shall not be equipped with automatic locking devices to avoid inadvertent guest lock-outs. These doors shall be keyed-alike to the entry doors and must, also, be equipped with chain-locks and other Hilton-approved security devices. ARCHITECTURAL CRITERIA — BATHS See Plates IX, X and XI The make-up and appearance of the bath area is equally important as the remain­ ing portions of the guestroom. The hotel room serves as a 'home away from home' for the traveler and it is Hilton's desire and intent to provide its guests with comfortable and pleasing accommodations. It is relatively simple to achieve a 'domestic' appearance in a guestroom, but considerably more difficult to 'de-institutionize' the bath, while retaining max­ imum maintenance-free elements. The illustrated planning and design formats have, we feel, attained the desired end results — results which have been con­ firmed, eloquently, in the thousands of these baths constructed in recent years in Hilton hotels across the country. The configurations and dimensions shown on the accompanying plans, coupled with the criteria listed below, must be adhered to, meticulously: 1. The minimum size of a Hilton bath shall be 5' - 0" wide x 8' - 0" long. 2. The ceiling over the bath (and the entry foyer) may be suspended to a minimum height of 7' - 0". The ceiling may be painted (smooth or sand finish) or covered with wall vinyl to minimize continuing maintenance. 3. All baths in typical rooms must contain the three primary plumbing fixtures — tub/shower combination unit, water closet and vanity/lavatory unit. A 'second' lavatory, when specified, may be added in the entry vestibule. 4. Tubs/showers: a) Minimum tub size shall be 2' - 6" x 5' - 0" x T - 4" high. b) Material — porcelain over cast iron with integral non-skid bottom surfaces. Steel tubs are not recommended. c) All typical guestrooms must have combination tub/shower units. Independent shower stalls may be specified only in addition to tubs but not in lieu thereof. d) Fiberglass tub/shower units, with integral or independent wainscot panels, are permitted but drawings and specifications must be submitted to Hilton for review and approval prior to incorporation into working drawings and specifications. 5. Water Closets: a) In order to maintain non-institutional appearances, tank-type water closets are recommended — one or two piece, with elongated fronts. In the interest of conservation, 'water-saver7 units are recommended. b) All water closets are to be fitted with elongated toilet seats and covers. c) Special units are available and recommended for handicapped rooms. 6. Vanity/Lavatory Units: a) Tops may be plastic laminate, DuPont Corian, genuine marble or 'cultured' marble. Applied or integrally-moulded back splashes are required. Sides splashes are optional. b) Plastic laminate tops shall have 'top-set' china lavatories. Corian and mar­ ble tops may have integrally-moulded or under-set lavatories. c) Removable, full plastic laminate fronts with recessed toe bases are recom­ mended. Fixed 'aprons', if specified, must have a minimum height of 12" (to conceal P-trap). 7. Flooring: a) Ceramic tile with 4" high ceramic tile base or marble with 4" high marble base. b) Sheet vinyl not recommended (subject to loosening and curling by water-penetration at perimeter edges). c) Resilient tile (asphalt, vinyl/asbestos, rubber, vinyl, etc.) and terrazzo not acceptable. 8. Wall Finishes: a) Where cast iron or steel tubs are specified, the wainscot around the tub/shower enclosure shall be ceramic tile to a minimum height of 6' - 6" above the finished floor or, preferably, to the ceiling. Tile wainscot is not to be used on wall areas other than the tub/shower enclosure. b) Cultured marble wainscot, or equal, may be substituted for ceramic tile, in which case drawings and samples must be submitted to Hilton for approval prior to incorporation in working drawings and specifications. 8. Wall Finishes: (Continued) c) Remainder of wall surfaces in bath must be covered with wall vinyl (specified by Hilton as part of the guest room interior design package). 9. Lighting/Mirrors: Refer to Plates IX and X for acceptable installations — framed mirrors with flanking incandescent sconces, frameless mirrors with 'integral' flanking fluorescent fixtures and 'wall-to-wall' mirrors with 'luminous' overhead fluorescent lighting. Horizontal 'strip light' fluorescent fixtures mounted on walls above mirrors and surface-mounted fluorescent fixtures on ceilings above lavatories are not acceptable. 10. Accessories: All baths in typical rooms must contain the following accessories: See Plates IX and X for locations. (1) 18" towel bar mounted on plumbing chase wall at vanity. (1) 24" towel rack mounted on wall at rear of tub. (1) Double-prong robe hook mounted on inside of bath door. (2) Semi-recessed toilet tissue holders, mounted one above the other, as shown on plans — one to contain a roll of tissue in use and the other, a wrapped spare roll. (1) Retractable clothes line (Franklin brass no. 910, or equal) mounted inside tub area. (1) Utility cabinet containing shelf for tumblers and wash cloths, bottle opener, facial tissue dispenser and used razor blade slot (Bobrick no. B-383, or equal). In rooms containing bar/lavatory units, one each additional utility cabinet and 18" towel bars are to be provided in locations shown on the plans. All accessories listed above, other than the stainless steel utility cabinet, shall be chrome-plated over forged brass or zinc alloy. Two (2) ceramic soap units with independent metal grab bars are to be included in the tub/shower area — one soap unit low for bathing, and the other high, for showering. Plated metal soap/grab-bar units are permitted. 10. Accessories: (Continued) Integrally-moulded soap units with independent metal grab bars are accept­ able for fiberglass tub/shower installations. 11. Doors: Doors in typical baths shall be 2-4" x 6'8"/7'-0" x 1-3/8", warp-proof hollow or solid core, flush panel, paint grade with hardwood face veneers. Wider doors, where required by 'barrier-free' handicap codes, shall take precedence. 12. Bar/Lavatory Units: Locations and quantities will be determined by Hilton. Generally, these units will be included in pivot (studio/double) rooms. See Plate IX for layout and dimensions. 13. Baths for Handicapped Guests: See Plate XI for recommended layout, dimensions and accessories. Digressions dictated by local code requirements shall take precedence, in which instance the architect must submit a copy of the applicable code excerpt and the proposed layouts and details to Hilton for review and approv­ al, prior to incorporation in the working drawings and specifications. The minimum number of handicapped baths shall be determined by local code requirements. ARCHITECTURAL CRITERIA - GUEST ROOM CLOSETS See Plates IX, X and XI The configuration and position of closets in recently-constructed Hilton properties (adjacent to the baths and broadside to the corridors) has contributed, significantly, to appearance and 'invitation'. The unique entry foyer creates an aura of spaciousness and luxury commensurate with Hilton's unexcelled reputation in hotel keeping — a position that has been earned by attention to detail and services cater­ ing to diversified and exacting needs. 1. Minimum closet width for 'commercial' properties is 3' - 0" (3' - 6" preferred). 2. In lieu of the traditional closet depth of 2' - 0", a net clear inside depth of 2' - 4" is required to accommodate bulky garment bags. 3. The metal hangrod (chromium-plated or stainless steel) should be centered (1' - 2" center of rod to rear wall of closet). 4. 1" x 4" wood shelf cleats are to be installed on the three interior walls to pro­ vide adequate support for the closet shelf and to provide 'grounds' for the installation of individual clothes hooks at each end — a minimum of two clothes hooks per closet is required. 5. All closets shall have fully-mirrored 'bi-fold' (preferred) or fully-mirrored sliding doors with sill and head tracks (no side frames). 6. All rooms shall contain 'pull-out garment rods' (Garcy #D-3239 or Knape & Vogt 753, or equal) mounted on the room side of the partition between the entry door and the closet doors. (See Elevation #3 on Plate IX). This retractable rod will facilitate the unpacking and packing of garment bags. 7. All closets shall have one trouser and skirt hanger unit (Knape & Vogt #550, or equal). 8. Optional Items: a) The closet width may be 'compartmented' by a vertical wood panel divider, so that one side of the closet may be fitted with dual hangrods to accommodate two rows of suits or skirts and blouses. b) Shoe racks (Knape & Vogt #721, single-tiered; #722, double-tiered). These racks are 21" wide and may be mounted on the sides of the closets, where they will be seen more readily. c) Electric shoeshine units. Generally specified for suites or special accom­ modations. If used, electrical outlets in the closets will be required. d) Tie rack (Knape & Vogt #572, rotating; #773, four-arm swinging). 9. Supplementary Closet Space: In resort locations, second closets may be added as shown on Plate X. ARCHITECTURAL CRITERIA - CORRIDORS See Plate XII Corridors and elevator foyers are the 'public spaces' of the guest room buildings. Like hotel lobbies, restaurants, cocktail lounges, banquet rooms, etc., they must contain 'image factors' which are important in a well-designed property. The corridor, in addition to providing the guest with a 'communication link' between his room and the public areas, also serves as work space for maids, porters and other maintenance personnel. The area, then, must be attractive as well as utilitarian and relatively maintenance-free. 1. Enclosed, all-weather, corridors are mandatory. Corridors exposed, entirely or in part, directly to the atmosphere are not permitted. 2. Corridors in 'double-loaded' buildings (rooms flanking a central corridor) must be 6'- 0" wide, exclusive of the indented room entrances. 3. Corridors 5'- 0" wide in 'single-loaded' guest room buildings (with indented entrances) are permitted but not recommended. 4. Ceiling heights at guest room entrances may be 7' - 0" minimum. The remaining portion of the corridors must have a minimum height of 7' - 6". 5. Acoustical tile, of any nature, or for any reason, is not permitted. 6. All wall surfaces must be covered with wall vinyl, floor to ceiling. Vinyl wallcovering will be selected and specified by Hilton, as part of the guest room design/decorating program. 7. All floor areas (other than equipment rooms, vending machine alcoves, etc.) are to be covered with carpet. Applied carpet bases, 4" high, are recommended. In lieu of extruded vinyl or wood cap mouldings, exposed edges of carpet should be coated with clear cement to avoid raveling. 8. Refer to plans (Plate XII) for recommended lighting schemes. The scheme at the center of the page (recessed fluorescent strip lights at indentations) is preferred. 0 rr c o Qj e o o o •O c o •*— (/) r < -j CL •••••• • ••••• -o 0> JQ t Vi9 0- 1 c J aj "O a> -Q £ r I V ' r r r o it « TT^rV w fv a ,2*,3 ,U|W_ I.*4>] ?fc-,2 !fJ"^!:K3,vv ( "' •>*>,! »J !

Sky cover is based on 0 for no clouds or obstructions to 10 for complete sky cover. Degree days are based on daily average temperatures of 65°F. Sleet and hall were included in snowfall totals, beginning with July 1948. As of January 1, 1949, dewpoint values below 328F. and re­ lative humidity values at temperatures below 32°F. are ex­ pressed with respect to water rather than with respect to ice, as used prior to that date. Therefore, these hygro- metric values before and after January 1, 1949, cannot ac­ curately be combined without necessary conversion. Heavy fog in the Means and Extremes Tables includes data referred to at-various times in the past as "Dense" or "Thick". The upper visibility limit for heavy fog is « mile. Below zero temperatures are preceded by a minus sign. - No record. + Also on other dates, months, or years. T Trace, an amount too small to measure. # Less than one day.

SOILS: General surface soils classification for the area is Radnor Silt Loam with 0-3% slopes. Class VW-1 (Soil Conservation Service Classifications). This series consists of moderately deep, poorly drained soils in depressed atireas that have poor drainage. The parent material is mediun and moderately fine textured glacial lake and stream sediments, derived in a large part from argil lite, quartzite, and dolanitic limestone, all of the Belt Geological Formation. The soils have developed underoourse marsh grasses, sedges, rushes, and sparce to heavy stands of spruoe, fir, willow, and cottonwood. The soils have a muck or peatlike surface layer, 2 to 8 inches thick, and a gray, clayey surface soil, 4 to 8 inches thich. The subsoil is gray silty clay loam that is mottled and stained with brown and yellcw. The material below is nearly white and is variable in texture. The water table is generally within 2 or 3 feet of the surface. Most are flooded part of the time. Seme remain wet to the surface throughout the year. [Source: 9CS] On a very generalized basis, the soils existant on this site present the potential far severe constraints for use as residential building sites (due to possible flooding, seasonal high water table); severe constraints can also be anticipated far roads and parking (due to possible flooding, high water table, frost heave potential, and in favorable load bearing capacity); severe con­ straints will also be possible for lawns and landscaping, intensive play areas, or for picnicking and canping (due to flooding or ponding potential, seasonal high water table, high organic matter content) • [Source: 9CS] Soils at depth can be characterized by clay and mud, 0-90*, silt and sand 90-120', grey hardpan 120-140', and water bearing sand and gravel 140-144'. VPVTER TABLE, GROUNDWATER, etc.: The water table for this area is very high, and appears to be keyed to the snowmelt and runoff in the spring, as vrell as to the actual fluctuation in the level of Whitefish Lake. An April 1982 study done by Thomas, Dean, and Hoskins (engineers), and observations done by Paul Wells (engineer for the Viking Project) indicate ground water in the spring rises to within 12" of the surface. Late sumer may indicate ground water has dropped to 5-8'. An October 1976 soils investigation by Northern Testing Laboratories states "...groundwater was at a depth of 10.61 to 15' at the time of our investiga­ tion and is expected to rise seasonally." All the above referenced test data was derived from test holes dug or drilled on the property adjacent Cn the East of the Trojan Properties. The Viking well indicates a water depth of only two feet below ground surface. This would suggest an inherent hydrostatic head forcing deep groundwaters upward toward the surface. The area to the East (Reich and Viking properties) is profuse with surface runoff drainages, including a year round stream. EXie to blockage of many of the otherwise effective drainage channels by fallen trees, limbs, and other debris, seasonal ponding does occur, which may adversely affect the subject property by lengthening the time period that the ground is at a point of saturation due to seasonal runoff. The Viking Redevelopment Proposal does address channeling, etc. to expedite drainage and streamflcvs, alleging the surface to dry out faster in the spring, thus alleivating the problem. ACCESS: The taojan Properties are located adjacent to Wisconsin Avenue, which is a State Secondary Highway (FAS 487). This highway serves as the arterial accessing both Whitefish Lake and Big Mountain Ski Area. Traffic counts indicate HWy 487 is the most heavily used Secondary Highway in Flathead County. U.S.iflwy 93 is located 1*5 miles to the South in the center of the Whitefish Business District. The Big Mountain Road intersects with Hwy 487 just over a mile to the North, leading to the Big Mountain Ski Area which is located approximately five miles up the racuntainside.
