Box 3388 Eagle, CO 81631 RE: Rockfall mitigation wall design criteria, Lot 2, The Valley Dear Brennen: As you requested, this letter provides design criteria for a rockfall- protection wall above the proposed residence on Lot 2, "The Valley" subdivision, Vail. This report also has the following limitations which must be understood by all those relying on the results and recommendations. Site - specific limitations The conclusions of this report are based on the site /grading plan dated "2- 11 -08" provided by Scott S. Turnipseed, A.I.A. This plan is shown on Figure 1 of this report. Any significant changes may invalidate the findings and conclusions of this report. General limitations You as my client should know that while our company can and does attempt to uphold the highest professional standards, the state of scientific and engineering knowledge is incomplete, and does not always permit certainty. The complex phenomena involved in the rockfall phenomena cannot be perfectly evaluated and predicted, and methods used to predict rockfall behavior change as new research becomes available. While we can and will offer our best professional judgment, we cannot and do not offer any warranty or guarantee of results. Site constraints and previous work The lot 2 building site is exposed to rockfall hazard according to Town of Vail hazard maps and previous reports. A comprehensive study of the rockfall hazard was completed in 1990 The rockfall hazard evaluation was updated, confirmed and a site - specific hazard evaluation with mitigation concepts was prepared in November, 2007 The current report (this letter) provides design criteria for a rockfall protection wall located above the proposed house on Lot 2, as located in Figure 1.

"Rockfall Hazard Analysis, The Valley, Phase /V, Vail, Colorado," prepared for Mr. Ed Zeimer, June 25, 1990. A.I. Mears, P.E., Inc. Letter to Brennen Scott Fitzgerald describing rockfall hazard and mitigation concepts at Lot 1 -3. November 15, 2007. Rockfall mitigation design criteria The mitigation design criteria are valid for wall position "A" shown on Figure 1. This wall is currently intended to be a retaining wall built into the steep slope, however, if this wall extends above grade on the uphill side (rock impact side) it can also serve as a rockfall barrier. See Figures 1 and 2. Design criteria include rock velocity (V), kinetic energy (KE) and bounce height (H) at the uphill face of the wall. The parameters V, KE, and H were determined as follows: a. Terrain was inspected and the rockfall source area located and evaluated; potential rockfall size was determined; b. The surface of the ground was inspected in a snow -free condition; it consists of a moderately smooth slope with sagebrush and small rockfall bounders; c. A maximum stopping position of the design, 2 -foot diameter, 1.5 -foot long boulder was assumed to be in the valley bottom, based on the historical record reported in the 1990 report.; d. The Colorado Rockfall Simulation Program (CRSP) was used to simulate the velocity, energy and bounce height of boulders considering points "a" thr "c" above. Figure 2. Sketch showing the approximate position and location of required wall height "H ". ,- o DUN QaawD The design parameters for a rockfall protection wall are provided in Table 1. Table 1. Rockfall wall design parameters Rock Size Bounce height Impact K.E. Velocit 2.0 ft diam, 1.5 ft long cylinder H = 5.0 ft 17,800 ft-lbs 30.4 fUsec Design constraints The following must be addressed in the design of the rockfall wall: a. The wall height "H" must be measured on the uphill side of the wall; any additional landscaping above the wall must not reduce this height; b. Any landscaping placed above the rockfall wall must not launch rocks over the wall; c. Any rigid wall (e.g. concrete or rock) might suffer damage during rock impact; a flexible or cushioned surface absorbs rock impact more effectively; d. Exact position of the wall (Figure 1) could be varied up or down hill + or — 10 feet. Risk from rockfall As previously concluded in the 1990 and 2007 reports referenced above, rockfall hazard should be classified as moderate. This is true because the source area is small and rockfall activity is infrequent, based on the history of rockfall in this area. Sincerely, Arthur I. Mears, P.E.

Box 3388 Eagle, CO 81631 RE: Site visit, The Valley Phase IV" rockfall mitigation, Lots 1 — 3. Dear Brennen: This letter, as requested, evaluates the rockfall hazard potential at building sites 1, 2 and 3, recommends mitigation, and discusses the feasibility of mitigation. My conclusions are based on a site visit last Friday, evaluation of detailed topographic maps and my experience with rockfall hazard evaluation and mitigation at various Colorado locations. 1. Rockfall Hazard All of Lots 1, 2, and 3 appear to be included in a "high severity" rockfall area on Town of Vail maps produced in 1984. My site inspection last week and experience with a rockfall- hazard evaluation completed by me in 1990' suggests that rockfall hazard is not "severe" by Colorado or general mountain standards; it should be classified instead as "moderate." Rockfall hazard originates in sandstone outcroppings of the Minturn formation. This formation crops out roughly 150 -300 feet vertically above the building sites staked on the ground. The outcrops are small in aerial extent and have produced some rockfall in the past. Figure 1 shows a typical example roughly 2 feet in length found on the slope. Judging from the intersection of joints and bedding plains in the rock and isolated rocks that have stopped on the slope, this is 'A.I. Mears, P.E., Inc., "Rockfall Hazard Analysis, The Valley, Phase IV, Vail, Colorado ", prepared for Ed Zneimer, June 25, 1990. %P it typical of the size of rock to be considered in mitigation design. According to the A.I. Mears (1990) report, rockfall has occurred in the past several decades (prior to 1990) and has reached the valley bottom. Because of the limited rockfall source area, rockfall events will probably be relatively infrequent (one event per decade or less) and will probably consist of only one or two boulders. Most will stop on the slope above the building sites. Because moderate rockfall hazard does exist, structural mitigation for rockfall is recommended, as discussed below. 2. Rockfall Mitigation Two mitigation techniques are feasible at these sites: (a) construction of barriers at or directly above the proposed buildings, and (b) construction of small rockfall energy- absorbing fences on private property below the source areas. Building sites on lots 1, 2 and 3 should all be protected because rockfall paths may be somewhat unpredictable. Rockfall barriers at the buildings, while feasible from a technical perspective, are probably not desirable. Building walls lined on the uphill sides with deformable gabions or planter boxes could be made to absorb rockfall energy and distribute impact forces over a large area, thus avoiding point loads from rock impact and structural damage. The heights of the required structures at the building have not been determined but should be based on the newly - available Town of Vail GIS topography and updated rockfall modeling. Previous work suggests the wall heights might be up to 6 feet at the proposed houses. While this technique could be effective it may not protect the entire house because of the locations of doors, and it may have an undesirable appearance. The second feasible mitigation technique would be construction of small rockfall energy- absorbing fences on the slope, a short distance below the source areas. The design heights and strengths of the fences would be modest because energy and bounce heights will also be modest. They would probably be fairly short at each of the two rock outcroppings 2 . As discussed at the start of this report, one objective has been to discuss the feasibility of rockfall mitigation. Rockfall mitigation does appear to be feasible at these sites, and should, in my opinion be assumed as such during the permitting process. Sincerely, Arthur I. Mears, P.E. 2 As a rough estimate (not based on detailed analysis) fences may need to be no more than 50 feet in length at possibly two locations between the trail switchbacks but on private property. to % Design Board 1_ FORV 7 ftu Department of Community Development 75 South f=rontage Road, Vail, Colorado 81657 tel:970.479.2139 fax: 970.479.2452 web: www.vailgov.com Project Name: WESTPORT MALL 1687 CONCEPTUAL DRB Number: DRB070593 Project Description: Participants: CONCEPTUAL REVIEW FOR A NEW SFR OWNER BUFFEHR CREEK PARTNERS 10/16/2007 PO BOX 305 MINTURN CO 81645 APPLICANT SCOTT TURNIPSEED, AIA 10/16/2007 Phone: 970 - 328 -3900 1143 CAPITOL STREET, SUITE 211 PO BOX 3388 EAGLE CO 81631 License: C000001848 ARCHITECT SCOTT TURNIPSEED, AIA 10/16/2007 Phone: 970 - 328 -390C 1143 CAPITOL STREET, SUITE 211 PO BOX 3388 EAGLE CO 81631 License: C000001848 Project Address: 1687 BUFFEHR CREEK RD VAIL Location: 1687 BUFFEHR CREEK RD Legal Description: Lot: 2 Block: Subdivision: ELENI ZNEIMER SUBDIVISIO Parcel Number: 2103- 122 - 1500 -2 Comments: Action: CONCEPT BOARD /STAFF ACTION Conditions: Cond:200 (PLAN): A conceptual review is NOT a Design Review Board approval.

A vicinity map of the area affected by these applications is attached for reference (Attachment B)_ A reduced copy of the site plan and proposed amended plat is attached for reference (Attachment C). III. BACKGROUND The area currently platted under the Eleni Zneimer Subdivision was annexed into the Town Of Vail from Eagle County by Ordinance 9, Series of 1987 which became effective on April 29, 1987. It was previously identified as Phase VI of The Valley Subdivision. The Valley Phase VI was approved as a Planned Unit Development (PUD) under Eagle County jurisdiction in the fall of 1980. That plan included 42 townhouses with a total GRFA of 77,150 square feet. When the plan was annexed into the Town of Vail, a provision of the annexation ordinance required that any major modification to the County approved plan would require PEC approval. In that same ordinance residential Cluster Zoning was applied to the Eleni Zneimer Subdivision. On October 22, 1990, the Planning and Environmental Commission unanimously approved an amendment to the approved PUD from Eagle County. The amended development plan included the ability to construct 13 single - family dwelling units with the ability to construct a caretaker /employee housing unit in conjunction with each single - family dwelling unit. A total of 55,500 square feet of GRFA was approved for the 13 single - family dwelling units and an additional 10,400 square feet was approved for the 13 potential caretaker /employee housing units_ On August 30, 1990, March 31, 1994, and June 6, 1996, the plats establishing Lots 1 -7 of the Lia Zneimer Subdivision were recorded. The Lia Zneimer Subdivision is located on the south side of Buffehr Creek Road. On February 19, 2003, the plat establishing Lots 1 -6 of the Eleni Zneimer Subdivision was recorded. The seven lots created in the Lia Zneimer Subdivision and the six lots created by the Eleni Zneimer Subdivision completed the platting of the 13 single- family lots approved under the October 22, 1990, approved development plan. On October 19, 2005 the Design Review Board reviewed the proposed new building envelope and curb -cut access proposal on a conceptual basis and unanimously agreed that the proposed relocation of access was a better site design solution than taking access on the existing driveway through the retaining walls. They believed the proposed design would have less impact on the site. 10/30/2007 21:30 9703283901 SST,AIA PAGE 04%11 IV. ROLES OF REVIEWING BOARDS Development Plan Ordinance 9.

No Change Frontage Per the approved development plan the six lots included within the Eleni Zneimer Subdivision were to gain access off the extended driveway which has been constructed per the approved plans. This proposal would amend the access to Lot 1 to be directly off of Buffehr Creek Road. Lot 1 460 feet along Buffehr Creek Drive Site Dimensions Per the approved development plan each lot was platted with a building envelope. The platted building envelopes are permitted to take on new dimensions under the approved development plan. However, the new proposed envelope cannot shift more that 15 feet from is platted location and it must contain the same amount of square footage of buildable area as the platted envelope. This proposal proposes to shift the building envelope on Lot 1 in one area approximately 31 feet to the east. The existing building envelope on Lot 1 measures 5,462 square feet and the proposed revised (shifted) building envelope would measure 5,462 square feet. Side Setbacks Per the approved .development plan the platted building envelopes were located as to maintain desired spacing between the structures. All physical improvements to the sites other than grading and landscaping must occur within the building envelope. In addition, there is a 15 -foot setback off of the perimeter of the Eleni Zneimer Subdivision. 10/30/2007 21:30 9703283901 SST,AIA GRFA Allowed Lot Existinq Proposed Lot 1 4,768.5 sq. ft. 5,267.4 sq, ft.

APPLICATION CRITERIA AND FINDINGS Development Plan Amendment: PAGE 07/11 As stated previously, when the Eagle County approved development plan was annexed into the Town of Vail in 1987, a provision of the annexation ordinance required that any major modification to the County approved plan would require PEC approval. On October 22, 1990, the Planning and Environmental Commission unanimously approved an amendment to the approved PUD from Eagle County. The amended development plan included the ability to construct 13 single - family dwelling units with the ability to construct a caretakerlemployee housing unit in conjunction with each single - family dwelling unit. A total of 55,500 square feet of GRFA was approved for the 13 single - family dwelling units and an additional 10,400 square feet was approved for the 13 potential caretaker/employee housing units. As Planning and Environmental Commission review of this application is required by annexation agreement and not Code, the only evaluation criteria to be used is to compare the existing, approved plan, to the proposed plan and determine that the intent and goals of the currently approved plan are being maintained. The proposal includes three changes to the approved plan. The proposed changes are as follows: Change to GRFA limitations: Staff believes that the proposed amendment to increase the maximum allowable GRFA on the six lots within the Eleni Zneimer Subdivision is reasonable and appropriate as the proposed amendment will maintain the intent of the October 22, 1990, approval_ The amendments to the GRFA regulations enacted by Ordinance 14, Series of 2004, affected the method by which GRFA within the Residential Cluster zone district is measured. Because the GRFA for the Eleni Zneimer Subdivision is limited by the plat the lots within the subdivision were negatively affected by Ordinance 14 as the GRFA amendments require wall thickness to be counted as GRFA (within Ordinance 14 a 10% increase in GRFA was included to compensate for the thickness of walls). The proposal is to increase the maximum GRFA permitted on each lot by 10% to recapture the GRFA "lost" when wall thickness was changed to count as GRFA. This proposal will not change the intended size, bulk, and mass of structures within the subdivision. Conversely, if this amendment is not approved the effect of Ordinance 14, Series of 2004, will be a reduction in size, bulk, and mass of the structures within the subdivision by 10 %. The proposed GRFA changes for each 1013012007 21:30 9703283901 SST,AIA PAGE 08111 lot are detailed in Section VII of this memorandum. Change to platted building envelope for Lot 1: The approved development plan from October 22, 1990, included provisions for Platted building envelopes on each of the six lots located within the Eleni Zneimer Subdivision. The following is the text from that approved development plan discussing the platted building envelopes: "Building envelopes indicated upon the approved site plan may be modified with approval of the DRB based upon detailed review of an individual dwelling unit. The DRB shall find that the modification to any building envelope does not substantially result in any negative impacts upon the site, adjoining property, or have any adverse impact upon required geologic hazard considerations. If an association of homeowners within the project is formed, any modification of a building envelope shall also conform to the rules and regulations adopted by the association. Any modification shall not exceed 15 feet and in no case shall any structure be built in the 20 foot setbacks shown on the approved development plan. " Staff has made the interpretation that the modification of an envelope of 15 feet or less can be made if the DRB makes the findings stated in the above paragraph. However, the resulting modified building envelope must be no more square footage than that of the platted building envelope. The structures currently constructed and under construction on Lots 5 and 6 of the Eleni Zneimer Subdivision went through the process described in the paragraph above. This proposal includes a request to shift a portion of the platted building envelope on Lot 1 on the northeast corner of the platted envelope approximately 31 feet to the east. The existing building envelope on Lot 1 measures 5,462 square feet and the proposed revised (shifted) building envelope would measure 5,462 square feet. The proposed building envelope change is attached for reference (Attachment C). On October 19, 2005 the Design Review Board reviewed the proposed new building envelope proposal on .a conceptual basis and unanimously agreed that the proposed new envelope was appropriate and did not negatively affect the adjoining properties. It was expressed that the proposed new building envelope in conjunction with the proposed new driveway access would have less impact on the site. Staff believes the intent of the approved development plan and the platted building envelopes is being met. The existing and proposed building envelopes are identical in area. Staff agrees with the DRB that the proposed envelope will allow for adequate protection of the existing aspen grove on the lot. Change to access location for Lot 1: This proposal includes a request to relocate the driveway access to the structure 10;'3012007 21:30 9703283901 SST,AIA PAGE 09111 proposed to be built on Lot 1 of the Eleni Zneimer Subdivision. It was the intent of the October 22, 1990, PEC approval that all six lots within the Eleni Zneimer Subdivision would gain access through a shared common driveway, which is currently constructed. This proposal would relocate the access for Lot 1 approximately 250 feet further to the east (uphill) from the existing access. The applicant has proposed the movement of the driveway access, as taking access off t existing driveway through the retaining walls will result in the construction h of m Itiple retaining walls to hold the slope back, whereas the proposed driveway reloc tion will result in less disturbance to the hillside. On October 19, 2005, the DRB conceptually reviewed this application. Initially they were very concerned about relocating the access, however, after performing a site visit they unanimously agreed that gaining access to Lot 1 was accomplished with less negative impact to the site by relocating the access 250 feet to the east. Staff has reviewed this application and determined that the standards of site distance for locating the driveway in its proposed location have been satisfied. The standard for sight distance of a curb -cut on Buffehr Creek Road (25 mph) is 150 feet. The proposed location provides a sight distance in excess of 250 feet which is the standard required on a road in which traffic travels at 35 mph_ Several neighboring residences have expressed concern with vehicles exceeding the speed limit and safety dangers of locating this driveway in the proposed location. Two letters form neighbors are attached for PEC review (Attachment D), Staff believes that the proposed driveway relocation does not violate the initial intent of the October 22, 1990, PEC approval.
