This Life Safety Report is intended to address the commercial and multi - family residential portions of the Droiect This package intends to describe, in performance -based language, the overall approach to active and passive fire protection features in the facility, whether required by Code, the Authority Having Jurisdictions, or as a result of an Owner request. It also describes the interaction of these systems in providing an overall coordinated fire protection package. FACILITY DESCRIPTION The Vail Front Door project is a multiple building project to be located adjacent to and between the existing Lodge at Vail, Lodge South Tower, and One Vail Place and the ski mountain at the base of the Vista Bahn ski lift. The Vail Front Door project consists of the following buildings: Building A: Parking Garage and Loading Dock (approx. 106,500 ft Building B: Spa & Guestroom Suite Addition (approx. 23,500 ft Building C: Ski Club (approx. 11,900 ft Building D: Skier Services (approx. 25,600 ft Building E: Residences Club (approx. 75,700 ft — These buildings are addressed in a separate Life Safety Report and administrative modification similar to the approved administration request prepared and approved for Gore Creek Residences. The Vail Front Door project involves approximately 243,200 ft of new construction or remodel. The following is a break down of detail pertaining to each of the buildings and their relationship to each other as well as existing structures. Parking Garage and Loading Dock Access to the Parking Garage and Loading Dock consists of a ramp entrance and tunnel accessed off of Vail Road near the west end of Lodge South Tower to the Parking Garage and Loading Dock. The ramp and tunnel are part of the building. This ramp and tunnel also serves as access to the Vista Bahn ski yard and mountain service roads during the off season warm climate time of the year. This ramp /tunnel entrance is to be provided with a gate. The gate will be closed with private access only during the winter ski season. The gate will remain open and accessible to the general public during the off season warm climate time of the year to serve as United States Forest Service access and mountain services access. FIRE & LIFE SAFETY REPORT VAIL FRONT DOOR — COMMERCIAL VAIL, COLORADO Page 4 Addendum #1 January 20, 2006 The. Parking Garage and Loading Dock will consist of a lower level parking garage, a mid -level parking garage, an upper level parking garage, and a loading dock on the same level as the lower level parking garage. The building is tightly located between the south side of the existing Lodge South Tower, the south and west side of the existing Lodge at Vail, the south and west side of the new Ski Club building, a southwest portion of the new Skier Services building, and the north edge of the new Residences Club. In more detail, the building will have party walls (fire walls) as indicated below: 1. between the lower level parking garage (east wall) and the new Ski Club building lower level (west wall), 2. between the mid -level parking garage (north wall) and the existing Lodge South Tower parking garage (south wall), 3. between the mid -level parking garage (east wall) and the new Spa addition of Lodge at Vail lower level (west wall), 4. between the loading dock (north wall) and the new Ski Club building lower level (south wall), 5. between the loading dock (north wall) and the new Spa addition of Lodge at Vail lower level (south wall), 6. between the upper level parking garage (north wall) and the new Ski Club building mid -level (south wall), and 7. between the upper levels parking garage (east wall) and the new Skier Services building lower level (west wall). Separate entrances from the ramp /tunnel access are to be provided into the lower level parking garage and loading dock, the mid -level parking garage, and the upper level parking garage. The mid -level parking garage is also accessible near the east side of the existing Lodge South Tower, between Lodge South Tower and Lodge at Vail, just south of the Lodge at Vail Porte Cochere and main entrance (accessed from Vail Road near the intersection with Willow Road). The lower level parking garage is to have a capacity of approximately 95 parking spaces situated two deep. The mid -level parking garage is to have a capacity of approximately 63 parking spaces, with many situated two deep. The mid -level parking garage is to also provide access to the Lodge South Tower parking garage. The loading dock is to have a capacity for approximately 14 truck loading positions. The upper level parking garage is to have approximately 43 parking spaces situated one deep. All of this considered an S -2 occupancy classification. Spa & Guestroom Suite Addition The new Spa & Guestroom Suite Addition are to be an addition to the west side of Lodge at Vail as a result of demolition of the existing employee cafeteria on the 2 " Level and the housekeeping /loading & trash dock/boiler room /electrical room as well as FIRE & LIFE SAFETY REPORT VAIL FRONT DOOR — COMMERCIAL VAIL, COLORADO Page 5 Addendum #1 January 20, 2006 the human resources offices and storage room on the 1 St Level. All of this demolition is located at the south and southwest corner of the existing Lodge at Vail. The Spa is to be constructed between this demolished southwest portion of Lodge at Vail and the mid -level parking garage and loading dock of the new Parking Garage and Loading Dock building. The new Spa & Guestroom Suite Addition is to consist of spa treatment areas along . with a movement studio and main entrance on the lower level and guestroom suites along with a spa fitness area on the upper level. A fire wall is believed to currently exist between the additions /remodeled areas and the remainder of the existing Lodge at Vail, however, verification of existing conditions during demolition of those areas stated above along with additional separation measures will create separate areas from the existing Lodge at Vail. Ski Club The new Ski Club building is to be tightly located between the loading dock and the lower level parking garage of the new Parking Garage and Loading Dock building on the lowest level of the Ski Club, the upper level parking garage of the Parking Garage and Loading Dock building on the Ski Club mid level, and the upper level of the Ski Club stands alone above grade. In more detail, the building will have party walls (fire walls) as indicated below: 1. between the Ski Club lower level (south wall) and the loading dock (north wall) of the new Parking Garage and Loading Dock, 2. between the Ski Club lower level (west wall) and the lower level parking garage (east wall) of the new Parking Garage and Loading Dock, and 3. between the mid level Ski Club (south wall) and the upper level parking garage (north wall) of the new Parking Garage and Loading Dock. The Ski Club lower level is to be used as locker rooms for guests (B occupancy classification). The Ski Club mid level is to be used for storage of skis and snowboards in moveable racks (S -1 occupancy classification). The Ski Club upper above grade level is to be occupied by a lounge /great room /reception area as well as kitchen and bar (A -3 occupancy classification, assuming an occupant load of more than 50 persons, otherwise it would be a B occupancy classification in accordance with 2003 IBC, Section 303.1.1). Skier Services The new Skier Services building is to be tightly located between the upper parking FIRE & LIFE SAFETY REPORT VAIL FRONT DOOR — COMMERCIAL VAIL, COLORADO Page 6 Addendum #1 January 20, 2006 garage of the new Parking and Loading Dock building and the existing One Vail Place building on the lower level of Skier Services. The upper level of Skier Services stands alone above grade. In more detail, the building will have party walls (fire walls) as indicated below: 1. between the Skier Services lower level (south half of the west wall) and the upper parking garage (east wall) of the new Parking and Loading Dock building, and 2. between the Skier Services lower level (north portion of the east wall) and the lower level of the existing One Vail Place (west wall). The lower level of Skier Services is to be occupied by public ski storage, ski patrol and mountain information personnel ski storage, ski school lockers, scanner personnel lockers, management lockers, and a break room (a mixture of B, S -1, and A -3 occupancy classification). The upper above grade level of Skier Services is to be occupied by a great room, coffee stand, bar, basket rental storage, and an open ski rental and retail area. Also included on the upper level of Skier Services is to be a ticket sales and call center space (a mixture of M, B, and S -1 occupancy classification). Residences Club The Residences Club is to be four duplex residential structures and one triplex residential structure (total of 13 dwelling units) interconnected by a lower level parking garage. The residential structures are identified from north to south as Building 1 and 2 on the west end, Building 3 and 4 in the center, and Building 5 (triplex) and 6 which actually are situated next to each other with 5 being west of 6. Building 5 and 6 are interconnected by the Building 6 private parking garage as Building 6 does not have access to the residential parking garage. A corner of Building 5 and a portion of Building 6 reside above the tunnel for the new Parking Garage and Loading Dock. In total, the residential parking garage and the residential structures are approximately 75,700 ft in area. The residential structures are considered R occupancy classifications and the residential parking garage is considered an S -2 occupancy classification. The residential parking garage and the private garage for Building 6 are accessed from Vail Road via a road residing above the tunnel for the new Parking Garage and Loading Dock and leading to a roundabout in front of the new Ski Club. Beyond the roundabout this road provides access to the existing One Vail Place. Each of the residential buildings will be four stories, however, each of the residential lowest levels are at different elevations. The residential structures are located on top of and on the side of the residential parking garage that serves them. The residential parking garage has a second level mechanical equipment room serving the residential FIRE & LIFE SAFETY REPORT VAIL FRONT DOOR — COMMERCIAL VAIL, COLORADO structures. Page 7 Addendum #1 January 20, 2006 Each of the residential units will be equipped with an elevator that provides service from the residential parking garage with the exception of Building 6 which has a private garage. As each of the residential structure lowest levels begin at different elevations, the height of each elevator shaft varies to accommodate the elevation of the floors each shaft serves. Due to the varying elevations of each residential structure, some Buildings actually have structural void spaces. These void spaces are to be filled entirely with a structural foam material. Each of the residential structures are separated by distance at all levels and interconnected only at the residential parking garage, with the exception of Building 5 and 6 which are interconnected by the private parking garage for Building 6. As these residential structures are elevated from the residential parking garage at staggered elevations, there is a significant volume of space between the structures. This space is to be filled with structural foam material (same material as the void space fill) to minimize the weight on top of the residential parking garage structure. Soil used to fill this space would result in too costly and large structural members for the residential parking garage. However, soil will be placed on top of the foam fill, in the areas between the residential structures, making up the courtyards and walkways between residential structures. Vail Front Door as a Whole The facility will be constructed under the provisions of the 2003 editions of the International Codes and the Town of Vail Amendments. The facility will not be treated as one overall building in regards to construction type and allowable areas, as separation by fire walls or space is planned to be utilized. Each building area may have non - separated uses as allowed by code.

The applicable codes for this project include: International Building Code (IBC) - 2003 Edition. 2. International Fire Code (IFC) - 2003 Edition 3. International Mechanical Code (IMC) - 2003 Edition 4. International Plumbing Code (IPC) - 2003 Edition 5. National Electric Code (NEC) - 2002 Edition 6. International Fuel Gas Code — 2003 Edition 7. International Energy Conservation Code — 2003 Edition 8. Town of Vail Local Amendments This report addresses the key features of these Codes and Guidelines. The primary intent of this document is to coordinate the fire protection approach between all design disciplines. Details of compliance are left to the construction documents and the contractors. KEY ISSUES Due to the unique nature of the project numerous meetings have been held between the design team and the Town of Vail Building and Fire Departments. This project will utilize the memorandum of understanding or administrative modification process as currently accepted by the Town of Vail Building and Fire Department. These requests will be tracked and submitted under separate cover and submittal process. A number of party walls (fire walls) are planned for this project, as depicted under the facility description section above. These fire walls, as planned, do not comply with the prescriptive requirements of the 2003 IBC. Specifically, Section 705.1 and Section 503.2 of the IBC require that fire walls serving to consider the buildings as separate buildings, shall be constructed without openings. Due to the unique property of Vail Front Door and the location of the new structures in relation to the existing structures and the close proximity to the ski mountain, openings in fire walls must exist. The design team plans to utilize an equivalency approach through additional fire protection FIRE & LIFE SAFETY REPORT VAIL FRONT DOOR — COMMERCIAL VAIL, COLORADO Page 10 Addendum #1 January 20, 2006 features (active and passive fire protection), operational considerations (management operations), and passive protection features to achieve protected openings that result in considering the buildings as separate buildings.

EMERGENCY OPERATION MANAGEMENT PLAN The Primary Access Staging point for an alarm received from the Parking Garage & Loading Dock building, Ski Club building, or Skier Services building will be the roundabout just in front of the Ski Club main entrance. The Parking Garage & Loading Dock building, Ski Club, and Skier Services will be provided a fire alarm with the main Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP) to be located in the Ski Club. The Residence Club will be provided a fire alarm system with the FACP to be located in or near the lower level residence parking garage. This system will be a sub - system to the main FACP located at the Ski Club, thereby, permitting the main FACP to annunciate an address for every device in the Residence Club. The Spa and Guestroom Addition of Lodge at Vail will be provided with an extension of the existing fire alarm system of the Lodge at Vail. The Spa and Guestroom Addition will be monitored by the Lodge at Vail fire alarm system and managed (response) by the Lodge at Vail management staff. The South Lodge Tower will continue to be monitored by the existing fire alarm system at South Lodge Tower. If a new fire alarm system is provided for South Lodge Tower as part of the remodel planned, it will monitor the South Lodge Tower. The Lodge at Vail and South Lodge Tower will be provided with remote annunciator panels from the main FACP located in the Ski Club. This will provide the management staffs of those facilities the ability to identify an alarm occurring in the Parking Garage & Loading Dock, Ski Club, Skier Services, and Residence Club. But more importantly, it will give the Fire Department the ability to assess an alarm occurring at Vail Front Door from these remote locations. PERIODIC OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE Qualified individuals acceptable to the Fire Department will regularly test all active fire protection systems and devices in accordance with applicable codes and standards. Records of all maintenance and testing will be retained on site and presented to authorized representatives upon request. FIRE & LIFE SAFETY REPORT Page 29 VAIL FRONT DOOR — COMMERCIAL Addendum #1 VAIL, COLORADO January 20, 2006 CONCLUSION This report provides general fire protection guidelines developed for the Vail Front Door project in Vail, Colorado. Working drawings and specifications will be coordinated to comply with the fire protection features outlined in this document. Prepared by: ROLF JENSEN & ASSOCIATES, INC.

This matrix is intended to be used as a tool for the design team, the owner and the fire department in establishing appropriate occupant notification and annunciation between buildings. Each main building area in the project is separated from one another by fire resistive construction (either occupancy or fire /area separation walls) and is considered a separate alarm zone. You may notice that the sequence of operations reflected in the occupant notification matrix causes notification in the alarm zone and in directly adjacent zones. And as one can see in the annunciation matrix, most fire alarm events would be designed to alert staff at the Lodge. In order to comply with the current proposed sequences of operations identified in the matrix, we may face some technical challenges, particularly if different fire alarm manufacturers are used. Therefore, because the existing Lodge and Lodge Tower are both equipped with Simplex systems, we recommend considering the use of Simplex for the entire project.

The "fire flow" for a building is the fire protection water supplied by the municipal system, that serves manual fire fighting needs (fire hydrants and standpipe systems). The applicable codes for the project include the 2003 International Building and Fire Codes (IBC and IFC) as adopted by the Town of Vail (ToV). The IFC specifies the required fire flow. The intent of the code is to provide an adequate and reliable water supply such that the fire department can effectively fight a fire in a given building. Fire flow is based on several factors. The primary factors are: construction type, use (or occupancy), built in fire protection, and floor area. The baseline fire flow is established by the total fire area and construction type of a given building. For a given development of multiple buildings, the required fire flow would normally be determined by the building with the greatest demand. When buildings are interconnected, the fire area is calculated based on the area of all interconnected buildings. Proiect Areas and Construction Types The Vail Front Door Project (VFD Project) is unique as there are many "properties" and several "buildings" of varying construction type, some existing and some new. In at least one of the cases, an assumption must be made regarding construction type. The following paragraphs summarize the various portions of the project in terms of the building areas. Construction types, proposed and/or existing are also explained. Buildings separated by fire walls (area separation walls) or the like are identified. Construction types are given in both IBC and parenthetically in UBC terminology: Lodge at Vail. The Lodge at Vail is an existing property that will, in part, be renovated and expanded. The expansion will include Spa and Fitness Room areas and luxury suites. According to Charlie Davis of the Town of Vail, the existing Lodge at Vail is deemed as Type IIIA (Type III 1 -hour) construction. Any renovation/reconstruction of the Lodge (for example, the floor area intended to be renovated as the Spa area) will be rebuilt meeting the requirements for Type IA (Type I)construction. There will be a 2 -hour occupancy separation between the Spa and the existing Lodge. It is the assumption of the VFD Project that the existing Lodge is provided with an approved automatic fire sprinkler system. All renovations and ../2 Q:\32473\4_PROJECT_DATA \4 -05 REPORTS\ LTRREFIREFLOWVAILFRONTDOOR060203 _03TEAM COMMENTS_F2.DOC Ove Arup & Partners Cal ifomia Ltd 32473/Vail Front Door /AW July 11, 2003 Page 2 reconstruction of the Lodge, including additions, will be provided with automatic fire sprinklers in conformance with NFPA 13. 2. Parking Garage The underground parking garage is adjacent to the Lodge, and has minimal interconnection with the Lodge, sharing mechanical systems and one protected stair enclosure. The garage will be constructed of Type IA (Type 1) construction. There will be a 3 -hour occupancy separation between the garage and the Lodge. By strict code application the garage will be considered the same building as the Lodge. Therefore, for determination of fire flow requirements, the floor area of the parking garage will be added to the Lodge. Automatic fire sprinkler protection will be provided in the garage. 3. Ski Club. There are two parts to the new Ski Club building: the two below grade levels, which are primarily storage type areas, and the above grade single story that is considered a separate building, in accordance with Section 508.2 of the building code.. The below grade areas of the Ski Club will be considered as accessory uses in the parking garage and will be Type IA (Type I) construction. The above grade single story structure will be Type VB (Type VN) construction and will incorporate many features of "Heavy Timber" construction. Automatic fire sprinkler protection will be provided in the Ski Club. 4. Skier Services. A new skier services building will be built adjacent to the parking garage. The new construction will be of Type IIA (Type II 1 HR) construction. Fire walls (area separation walls) will separate the Skier Services building from the adjacent parking garage and One Vail Place. Automatic fire sprinkler protection will be provided in the Skier Services building. 5. Residences. The Residences are a collection of town -homes that are completely separated from the remainder of the project, and sit atop a collective "pedestal" garage. The Residences are anticipated to be of Type VA (Type V 1 -hour) construction. Automatic fire sprinkler protection will be provided in the Residences. The following two "buildings" are expected to have only minor renovations: 6. One Vail Place. One Vail Place will undergo minor renovations on the 1st level and in one -half the basement only. One Vail Place is a stand -alone structure, is assumed as Type IIB (Type II -N) construction, is considered a separate structure, and will be separated from the remainder of the project by a fire wall (area separation wall). A minor renovation such as this, with no change of occupancy, use, construction type, or level of safety, would not normally require that fire flow be evaluated. Currently, as reported by the Vail Fire Department, the structure is provided with an automatic fire sprinkler system in the basement only. It is the assumption of the VFD Project that the structure will be provided with such a sprinkler system (by others) before a certificate of occupancy is issued for the Skier Services, the only adjoining building. 7. Lodge at Vail Tower. The Lodge at Vail Tower is a condominium building that will similarly undergo minor renovations. Among the alterations, exiting will be improved from the building. The Tower is adjacent to the Parking Garage (only) and will be separated from it by a 3 -hour fire wall (area separation wall) with 3 -hour fire rated opening protection. Similar to One Vail Place, a minor renovation such as this, with no change of occupancy, use, construction type, or level of safety would not normally require that fire flow be evaluated. It is the assumption of the VFD Project that the existing Lodge is provided with an approved automatic fire sprinkler system.

Table 1: Summary of Buildings, Construction Types and Areas Building(s) Construction Type Area (square feet Lodge plus Spa Type IIIA (Type III 1 -hour) 247,134 Garage Type IA (Type I ) 98,579 - Parking Lower Levels of the Ski Club Type IA (Type I) 9,202 Ski Club Upper Level Type VB (Type VN) 3,660 Skier Services Type IIA (Type II 1 -hour) 30,761 Residences Type VA (Type V l -hour) 76,310 One Vail Place I Type IIB (Type I 29,082 - Lodge Tower I Type IIA (Type II 1 -hour) 87,550 The existing construction types indicated in the table will remain, however, as it is the intent of the VFD Project to improve the safety of the development, any reconstruction or additions to existing buildings will improve the structure to non - combustible protected construction (at minimum, Type IIA). For example, although the existing areas of the Lodge are Type IIIA (combustible), the Spa area which is replacing a portion of the Lodge will be replaced with Type IA (non- combustible) construction. Therefore, all existing structures will incorporate improvements. Required Fire Flow IFC Section B104 FIRE AREA indicates that the fire flow calculation is required to include the total floor area of all floor levels within the exterior walls and under the horizontal projections of the roof of the building. Subsection B 104.2 Area Separation permits portions of buildings, which are separated by fire walls without openings, constructed in accordance with the IBC, to be considered separate fire flow calculation areas. In this section, the IFC recognizes that many types of openings, including protected openings, are the weak link in a wall. The openings can be compromised and this could lead to fire spread even beyond a fire wall, into an adjacent building. Strict application of the code would lead one to conclude that the proposed fire walls (area separation walls) do not provide for different fire areas as they all contain protected openings. However, it is our contention that a degree of reasonableness be exercised. The VFD Project has a special condition. For example, the Parking Garage is proposed to be separated from the Skier Services building by a 3 -hour firewall with protected openings. In this case, the protected openings are unique. The only interconnection between the two occurs through a protected exit enclosure. This implies that the protected opening between the two properties occurs at a location where two fire rated self closing doors are provided (into the exit enclosure). Exit stair enclosures tend to be very well protected, more so than typical fire or area separation wall openings. According to Factory Mutual the likelihood of one self - closing door to fail may be on the order of 14% or 0.14. The likelihood that both doors would fail is therefore 0.14 times 0.14 or 0.02, or 2 %. This translates into a probability of success on the order of 98 %, which is a high reliability, on the order of the reliability of the sprinkler system. Given that the wall will likely have penetrations, the reliability of the doors is perhaps even higher reliability than the wall itself. For this reason, we suggest that the separation between the Skier Services and the Parking Garage be considered to form separate buildings in accordance with the intent of sub - section B 104.2. Therefore for the purposes of applying SECTION B104 FIRE AREA, the following table summarizes the fire areas. Construction type has been assumed as the lowest or least construction type among the areas, even if the majority of the fire area is of a higher construction type: Q: \32473M_PROJECT_DATA \4 -05 REPORTS\ LTRREFIREFLOWVAILFRONTDOOR060203 _D3TEAM COMMENTS_F2.DOC /4 32473/Vail Front Door /AW July 11, 2003 Page 4 Table 2: Summary of Separate Buildings, Construction Types and Areas in accordance with SECTION B104 (see preceding text) Building(s) Construction Type Area (square feet) Provided with allons er minute Lodge and Spa plus Lodge Automatic Fire 4 Tower plus Parking Garage Sprinkler System Ski Club Lower Levels Throughout?

When approved (by the authority having jurisdiction) the reduction may be up 50 %, but no less than 1,500 gallons per minute. Section B 105.2 also applies to one and two family dwellings greater than 3,600 square feet (the Residences). It is our understanding that the Fire Marshal for the Town of Vail has historically permitted a reduction of up to 50% based on the previous code, the 1997 Uniform Fire Code (UFC). Notably, the UFC permitted a reduction of up to 75 %, but not less than 1,500 gallons per minute.

It can be based on various factors. Some of the primary factors include general assessment of the buildings under question, reliability of the water supply, fire department vehicle access, hydrant spacing and standpipe outlet access. The following points provide justification why a 50% reduction is sensible: 1. Most of the project is actually better than Type IIIA (Type III 1 -hour) construction (the Lodge Tower is Type UB construction and the proposed parking garage is all Type IA construction). 2. Three firewalls (area separation walls) will be implemented as discussed. In addition, UBC compliant occupancy separation walls will separate the various project areas (Areas 1 — 7 as identified on pages 1 and 2) where fire /area separation walls are not provided. 3. Fire flow is fed from two different directions. 4. As the site is be redeveloped around the buildings, fire hydrant and standpipe spacing will be optimized with coordinated input from the fire department during the design process. 5. All new buildings, including the Lodge at Vail will be equipped with a new addressable fire alarm system that increases the efficiency of responding to fires. 0:\3247344_PROJECT_DATA \4 -05 REPORTS\ LTRREFIREFLOWVAILFRONTDOOR060203 _D3TEAM COMMENTS_F2.DOC 36 32473/Vail Front Door /AW July 11, 2003 Page 6 Conclusion In conclusion, the proposed Vail Front Door Project, which includes the renovation and reconstruction of existing buildings and the development of new structures, is required to comply with 2003 International Fire Code requirements as adopted by the ToV. Among them, fire flow, as indicated in Appendix B, is one of the first design challenges. This letter report has provided an assessment; a logical approach to establishing the fire flow demand based on the intent of IFC Appendix B. It is suggested that minimum baseline fire flow demand to the site is 6,000 gallons per minute for 4 hours. In accordance with the Code, and with approval from the ToV, this fire flow can be reduced up to 50% when the respective building is equipped with automatic fire sprinklers. Although it is our understanding that a 50% reduction has been typically applied to fire flows in Vail for buildings that are sprinklered, the Fire Marshal has the authority to assess each project on a case -by -case basis. For the case of Vail Front Door Project, it is our contention that there is adequate technical justification for 50% reduction. The justification has been provided in the letter, and should be shared with the ToV Fire Marshal. With an approved 50% reduction to the baseline, the Vail Front Door Project fire flow requirement is 3,000 gallons per minute for four hours. Yours sincerely V Armin Wolski Associate Reviewed by R.

SEPARATION BETWEEN ONE VAIL PLACE AND NEW SKIER SERVICES This Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) request is the documentation of several meetings and discussions with the Town of Vail Building and Fire Department. The intent of this correspondence is to "document" how the design team will comply with the requirements of the adopted building, fire code and amendments as adopted by the Town of Vail. This document differs from the Request for Administrative Modification process in that we are not requesting any variance from the adopted building and fire codes. This document should be a reference to and complement the Life Safety Report and Construction Documents prepared by the design team. Once signed by all parties (signature page), the descrihed portions of the Fire Protection and Life Safety .cede re uirement are considered to he clarification of the building or fire code requirements for the design and construction of the Vail Front Door Project in Vail - Colorado_ 1. SMOKE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (STAIR AND ELEVATOR HOISTWAY) The building is not considered a high -rise structure, however, meetings with the TOV Fire Department identified that fire department access was limited and that performance based approach was taken for this complex. This required a smoke management system to augment the fire department access. The smoke management system will include the pressurization of Stair #CSO1 and Elevator #1 in Building C. Building C is the Alpine (SKI) Building located in the center of the Vail Front Door Complex. This stair and elevator will provide access to all levels of the complex. The stairs and elevator are located near the fire command room and the fire department staging area on the exterior of the building. Stairwell Enclosures — The smoke management system for the designated stairwell enclosure will consist of a pressurization fan for the designated stairwell will be activated automatically upon fire alarm activation (water -flow or detection). The system will be designed such that during operation the doors into the stairwell will not require more than 30- pounds of force to open, regardless of the barometric pressures of the environment. We discussed that the system will not need to be designed to any minimum pressure differential such as 0.05 inches of water column but it would be enough to keep the stairwell positive in relation to adjacent spaces. A smoke management system will to be designed by a fire protection engineer and submitted to the fire department for their review and approval. Elevator Hoist -way — The smoke management system for the designated elevator hoist -ways will consist of a pressurization fan for the elevator shafts activated upon fire alarm activation (water -flow or detection). The smoke management system will not need to be designed to any minimum pressure differential. However, the system will be designed to keep the elevator positive in relation to the adjacent spaces or elevator lobbies. The positive pressure will extend beyond the hoist -way into the elevator lobbies or adjacent corridors. It is intended that the smoke management system will prevent smoke from migrating from floor to floor via the identified elevator hoist -way or stair enclosure. • Emergency Power and Control — The smoke management system will be connected to the building emergency power system since this is a life safety system. The smoke management system will also be manually controlled from the fire command center utilizing an approved smoke control panel. 2. FIRE COMMAND ROOM At numerous meetings with the TOV fire department, the design team presented the fire department access and the location of the fire command room. The TOV fire department agreed the building was not a high -rise but requested that a fire command be provided. It was agreed to by the team that the fire command center would be located near the entrance of Building C or the Alpine (SKI) Club near the main entrance. Further clarification from the fire department also required that the fire command room would not be shared with any other function and would require direct access to the exterior via the stair enclosure. The currently approved location provides a central response point for the fire department staging area with access to stairs serving the building and an elevator serving all levels of the building complex. The fire command room location has been approved and also communicates to the stair enclosure. Although a normally non - occupied room cannot communicate to a stair enclosure the access from the exterior into the stair enclosure is a desirable condition and acceptable to the fire department. Listed below are the components that will be included in the fire command room: • Annunciators for the fire alarm system. • Fire Fighter Smoke Control Panel • Public address, voice communication system status and controls. • A direct dial telephone. • A table for reviewing building plans and schematic diagrams. • Schematic building plans, including typical floor plans, egress drawings, fire protection systems, smoke control diagrams, fire - fighting equipment and fire department access. • Keys to access all portions of the building. 3. USE OF ASSUMED PROPERTY LINES AND FIRE RESISTIVE SEPARATION The design team has had numerous meetings with the Town of Vail Building and Fire Department regarding the Vail Front Door Complex. From the initial meetings it was identified that the buildings will communicate below grade via the parking garage and that there would be mixing of construction type and fire resistive separation requirements between buildings. Attached are code sheets identifying the proposed and required fire resistive separations. These separations include both 3 -hour vertical and horizontal fire resistive separations that are intended to compartment the buildings both vertically and horizontally. Additionally, there are occupancy separation fire resistive walls that separate occupancies. The design team has evaluated the property line setbacks to both legal and assumed property lines and have provided fire resistive separation where required. See the G -Series Code Sheets for details related to assumed property lines and fire resistive separations. 4. OPENING BETWEEN PARKING GARAGE AND LODGE TOWER PARKING GARAGE As discussed with the TOV Fire Department at several meetings, a water curtain will be provided at the connection of the Lodge Tower parking garage and the new Building A Parking Garage. This opening between these two buildings is located on the property line and a cross easement agreement has been executed between the Lodge Tower and Vail Front Door owners. Prescriptively in accordance with the building code this opening would not be permitted. If the opening were permitted the protection of the opening would normally be done with a 90- minute fire shutter. Because of the difficulty of maintaining access should the fire shutter be activate it was agreed to by the building and fire department to protect the opening with a water wash from the sprinkler system. The water curtain shall be designed to provide a density of 3 gallons per minute per lineal foot across the opening. This protection will be from a closed sprinkler head water curtain and not a deluge system. The sprinkler heads at the opening will be spaced 6 feet on center and within 12 inches of the opening. The water curtain is to be located on the Vail Front Door side of the opening. Additionally, a rate compensating heat detector is being provided on both sides of the opening from the adjacent fire alarm systems for notification of an alarm condition at either Lodge Tower the Vail Front Door. The contractor through the sub - contractor will pre an re shop drawings and construction seqnencing for the modifications to the fire protection system for this special protection_ The shop o rawings and construction sequencing will he reviewed and approved by RC ER Engineering, for submittal to the TOV Fire Department for their review and a rp oval during the shop drawing permit process 5. FIRE SEPARATION BETWEEN NEW AND EXISTING BUILDINGS The design team has used a series of fire resistive walls and floor assemblies to separate the buildings based on construction type of the buildings and the required occupancy separation of the different occupancies and uses. From the initial meetings with the Town of Vail Building, Fire Department and Colorado Inspection Agency it was identified that the buildings will communicate below grade via the parking garage and that there would be mixing of construction type and fire resistive separation requirements between buildings. Attached are code sheets identifying the proposed and required fire resistive separations. These separations include both vertical and horizontal fire resistive separations that are intended to compartment the buildings both vertically and horizontally. Additionally, there are occupancy separation fire resistive walls that separate occupancies. See the G -Series Code Sheets for details related to assumed property lines and fire resistive separations. 6. USE OF 508.2 FOR CREATING SEPARATE BUILDINGS The design team has utilized Section 508.2 of the International Building Code in conjunction with the administrative modification process. BCER has submitted a request for an administrative modification defining the separation of the S -2 Parking Garage below the Residential Chalet portion of the building. See Administrative Modification Request dated April 3, 2006. From the initial meetings with the Town of Vail Building, Fire Department and Colorado Inspection Agency it was identified that the buildings will communicate below grade via the parking garage and that there would be mixing of construction type and fire resistive separation requirements between buildings. Attached are code sheets identifying the proposed and required fire resistive separations. These separations include both vertical and horizontal fire resistive separations that are intended to compartment the buildings both vertically and horizontally. Additionally, there are occupancy separation fire resistive walls that separate occupancies. See the G -Series Code Sheets for details related to assumed property lines and fire resistive separations. 7. SEPARATION BETWEEN ONE VAIL PLACE AND NEW SKIER SERVICES In meetings with the Town of Vail Building, Fire Department and Colorado Inspection Agency it was identified that the buildings will communicate below grade via the parking garage and that there would be mixing of construction type and fire resistive separation requirements between buildings. Attached are code sheets identifying the proposed and required fire resistive separations. These separations include both vertical and horizontal fire resistive separations that are intended to compartment the buildings both vertically and horizontally. Additionally, there are occupancy separation fire resistive walls that separate occupancies. See the G -Series Code Sheet G017 for details related to assumed property lines and fire resistive separations. Between One Vail Place and New Skier Services. RECOMMENDATION This MOU in conjunction with the current design documents provides a level of protection and life safety that meets the intent and spirit of the Code and therefore does not create a hazardous condition to the occupants of the building. The results of this document are also consistent with the meetings held with the Town of Vail Building and Fire Department and are intended to document the construction documents and clarify any special requirements that are in the current design.

This Life Safety Renort is intended to address the commercial portions of the project of the building known as Buildings A, B, C and D_ This document also will describe the site meeting and field investigation of the adjoining buildings conducted on March 6, 2006 with members of the design team and Mike McGee of the Vail Fire Department. That site meeting identified numerous conditions that will require coordination and improvements to the existing fire protection and life safety systems in the adjoining buildings. This package intends to describe, in performance -based language, the overall approach to active and passive fire protection features in the facility, whether required by Code, the Authority Having Jurisdictions, or as a result of an Owner request. It also describes the interaction of these systems in providing an overall coordinated fire protection package. The Vail Front Door project is a multiple building project to be located adjacent to and between the existing Lodge at Vail, Lodge South Tower, and One Vail Place and the ski mountain at the base of the Vista Balm ski lift. The Vail Front Door project consists of the following buildings: Building A: Parking Garage and Loading Dock (approx. 106,500 ft Building B: Spa & Guestroom Suite Addition (approx. 23,500 fe) Building C: Alpine Club or Ski Club (approx. 11,900 ft Building D: Skier Services (approx. 25,600 ft Building E: Chalets ( approx. 75,700 ft — These buildings are addressed in a separate Life Safety Report and administrative modification similar to the approved administration request prepared and approved for Gore Creek Residences. The Vail Front Door project involves approximately 243,200 ft of new or remodeled construction. Reference should be made the Gr — Series Code Drawings for actual square footages of build*nQS_ The following is a break down of detail pertaining to each of the buildings and their relationship to each other as well as existing structures. Reference should be made to the construction drawings for detailed explanation of the fire protection and life safety systems. FIRE & LIFE SAFETY REPORT Page 4 VAIL FRONT DOOR — Building A, B, C and D - Commercial Portion of Project VAIL, COLORADO April 3, 2006 Parking Garage and i Wading Dock Access to the Parking Garage and Loading Dock consists of a ramp entrance and tunnel accessed off of Vail Road near the west end of Lodge South Tower to the Parking Garage and Loading Dock. The ramp and tunnel are part of the building. This ramp and tunnel also serves as access to the Vista Bahn ski yard and mountain service roads during the off - season warm climate time of the year. This ramp /tunnel entrance is to be provided with a gate for vehicle access control. The gate will be closed with private access only during the winter ski season. The gate will remain open and accessible to the general public during the off season warm climate time of the year to serve as United States Forest Service access and mountain services access. The Parking Garage and Loading Dock will consist of a lower level parking garage, a mid -level parking garage, an upper level parking garage, and a loading dock on the same level as the lower level - parking garage. The building is located between the south side of the existing Lodge South Tower, the south and west side of the existing Lodge at Vail, the south and west side of the new Alpine Club building, a southwest portion of the new Skier Services building, and the north edge of the new Chalets. Separate entrances from the ramp /tunnel access are to be provided into the lower level parking garage and loading dock, the mid -level parking garage, and the upper level - parking garage. The mid -level parking garage is also accessible near the east side of the existing Lodge South Tower, between Lodge South Tower and Lodge at Vail, just south of the Lodge at Vail Porte cohere and main entrance (accessed from Vail Road near the intersection with Willow Road). The lower level - parking garage is to have a capacity of approximately 95 parking spaces situated two deep. The mid -level parking garage is to have a capacity of approximately 63 parking spaces, with many situated two deep. The mid -level parking garage is to also provide access to the Lodge South Tower parking garage. The loading dock is to have a capacity for approximately 14 truck - loading positions. The upper level - parking garage is to have approximately 43 parking spaces situated one deep. All of this considered an S -2 occupancy classification. It is intended that these parking spaces will not be available for public parking with vehicles being parked by valet parking services. Spa & Guestroom Suite Addition The new Spa & Guestroom Suite Addition are to be an addition to the west side of Lodge at Vail as a result of demolition of the existing employee cafeteria on the 2 nd Level and the housekeeping/loading & trash dock/boiler room/electrical room as well as the human resources offices and storage room on the I Level. All of this demolition is located at the south and southwest corner of the existing Lodge at Vail. The Spa is to be constructed between this demolished southwest portion of Lodge at Vail and the mid -level parking garage and loading dock of the new Parking Garage and Loading Dock building. The new Spa & Guestroom Suite Addition is to consist of spa treatment areas along with a movement studio and main entrance on the lower level and guestroom suites along with a spa FIRE & LIFE SAFETY REPORT Page 5 VAIL FRONT DOOR — Building A, B, C and D - Commercial Portion of Project VAIL, COLORADO April 3, 2006 fitness area on the upper level. . A fire wall is believed to currently exist between the addition/remodeled areas and the remainder of the existing Lodge at Vail, however, verification of existing conditions during demolition of those areas stated above along with additional separation measures will create separate areas from the existing Lodge at Vail. Alpine (SKI) Club The new Alpine Club or SKI Club building is to be located between the loading dock and the lower level parking garage of the new Parking Garage and Loading Dock building on the lowest level of the Alpine Club, the upper level parking garage of the Parking Garage and Loading Dock building on the Alpine Club mid level, and the upper level of the Alpine Club stands alone above grade. The Alpine Club lower level is to be used as locker rooms for guests (B occupancy classification). The Alpine Club mid level is to be used for storage of skis and snowboards in moveable racks (S -1 occupancy classification). The Alpine Club upper above grade level is to be occupied by a lounge /great room/reception area as well as kitchen and bar (A -3 occupancy classification, assuming an occupant load of more than 50 persons, otherwise it would be a B occupancy classification in accordance with 2003 IBC, Section 303.1.1). Skier Services The new Skier Services building is to be located between the upper parking garage of the new Parking and Loading Dock building and the existing One Vail Place building on the lower level of Skier Services. The upper level of Skier Services stands alone above grade. The lower level of Skier Services is to be occupied by public ski storage, ski patrol and mountain information personnel ski storage, ski school lockers, scanner personnel lockers, management lockers, and a break room (a mixture of B, S -1, and A -3 occupancies). The upper above grade level of Skier Services is to be occupied by a great room, retail, bar, basket rental storage, and an open ski rental and retail area. Also included on the upper level of Skier Services will be ticket sales and call center space (a mixture of M, B, and S -1 occupancy classifications). Chalets The Chalets consist of four duplex residential structures and one triplex residential structure (total of 13 dwelling units) interconnected by a lower level - parking garage. The residential structures are identified from north to south as Building 1 and 2 on the west end, Building 3 and 4 in the center, and Building 5 (triplex) and 6 which actually are situated next to each other with FIRE & LIFE SAFETY REPORT Page 6 VAIL FRONT DOOR — Building A, B, C and D - Commercial Portion of Project VAIL, COLORADO April 3, 2006 5 being west of 6. Buildings 5 and 6 are interconnected by Building 6 private parking garage. Building 6 does not have access to the residential parking garage. A corner of Building 5 and a portion of Building 6 reside above the tunnel for the new Parking Garage and Loading Dock. In total, the residential parking garage and the residential structures are approximately 75,700 ft in area. The residential structures are considered R occupancy classifications and the residential parking garage is considered an S -2 occupancy classification. The residential parking garage and the private garage for Building 6 is accessed from Vail Road via a road residing above the tunnel for the new Parking Garage and Loading Dock and leading to a roundabout in front of the new Alpine Club. Beyond the roundabout this road provides access to the existing One Vail Place. Each of the residential buildings will be four - levels with three stories above grade. The residential lowest levels are at different elevations. The residential structures are located on top of and on the side of the residential parking garage that serves them. The residential parking garage has a second level mechanical equipment room serving the residential structures. Each of the residential units will be equipped with an elevator that provides service from the residential parking garage with the exception of Building 6. Building 6 has a private garage. As each of the residential structure lowest levels begin at different elevations, the height of each elevator shaft varies to accommodate the elevation of the floors each shaft serves. Due to the varying elevations of each residential structure, some Buildings actually have structural void spaces. These void spaces are to be filled entirely with a structural foam material. Each of the residential structures are separated by distance at all levels and interconnected only at the residential parking garage, with the exception of Building 5 and 6 which are interconnected by the private parking garage for Building 6. As these residential structures are elevated from the residential parking garage at staggered elevations, there is a significant volume of space between the structures. This space is to be filled with structural foam material (same material as the void space fill) to minimize the weight on top of the residential parking garage structure. Soil used to fill this space would result in too costly and large structural members for the residential parking garage. However, soil will be placed on top of the foam fill, in the areas between the residential structures, making up the courtyards and walkways between residential structures. Fire Department access to the south side of the Chalets is limited. Fire Protection features have been designed to supplement Fire Department response to this area. This includes the installation of exterior standpipe hose valves that are connected to the building standpipe system. The locations of these valves are located on the attached fire protection site plan and have been approved by the TOV fire department. The facility will be constructed under the provisions of the 2003 editions of the International Codes and the Town of Vail Amendments. The facility will not be treated as one overall building in regards to construction type and allowable areas, as separation by firewalls or space is planned to be utilized. Each building area may have non - separated uses as allowed by code. FIRE & LIFE SAFETY REPORT Page 7 VAIL FRONT DOOR — Building A, B, C and D - Commercial Portion of Project VAIL, COLORADO April 3, 2006 Modifications to existing buildings and systems that are affected by this project will be done under the direction of the Town of Vail Building and Fire Department. These modifications will allow existing buildings to maintain an acceptable level of Fire and Life Safety during construction and after the project is completed. Due to the unique nature of the project and the planned meetings between the design team and the Town of Vail Building and Fire Departments, this project will utilize a series of administrative modification requests as needed. Currently there is only a single Administrative Modification Request for the Chalets (Residential Portion) in the Vail Front Door Project and a Memorandum of Understanding that addresses the following issues: 1. SMOKE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (STAIR and ELEVATOR HOISTWAY) 2. FIRE COMMAND ROOM 3. USE OF ASSUMED PROPERTY LINES AND FIRE SEPARATION 4. OPENING BETWEEN PARKING GARAGE AND LODGE TOWER PARKING GARAGE 5.

FIRE & LIFE SAFETY REPORT Page 10 VAIL FRONT DOOR — Building A, B, C and D - Commercial Portion of Project VAIL, COLORADO April 3, 2006 The existing buildings and systems listed below will be affected by the Vail Front Door Project to maintain an adequate level of fire and life safety. The design team met with Mike McGee, Fire Marshal for the Town of Vail Fire Department on March 6, 2006 to identify deficiencies related to the fire protection and life safety of these surrounding existing buildings. Some of the issues identified are not directly related to the new construction of the Vail Front Door Project but are routine fire code maintenance issues. This report has not identified building or fire code deficiencies of that nature. The issues below and recommended solutions have been discussed with the Vail Fire Department prior to the writing of this report. I. Lodge at Vail A. Access is restricted to the existing Simplex M4100U fire alarm control panel (FACP) located behind the front desk in the lobby. This panel is not provided with adequate access or kept clear for access b the fire department. This FACP serves the tower and north end of the building. The fire department recommended that the FACP be relocated to the phone room located in the basement directly below the lobby. Currently based on the modifications being made to the Lodge at Vail fire alarm system will not include relocating the fire alarm panel to the lower phone room. It would be intent of the Lodge at Vail management to maintain access to the FACP. B. The Simplex M4100U is also not equipped with a printer. The Simplex M4100U will need to be supplied with a printer so that an alarm log will be created with a print out is available for fire department annunciation purposes. C. A Simplex M4100 and 2210 fire alarm panels control the south end of the building fire alarm system. Based on the demolition and remodeling of the International Wing, SPA and residence remodel these panels will need to be relocated during construction to the new electrical room that will be located in the existing wine storage room. The contractor through the soh- contractor will l2renare shop drawings and constriction sequencing for the relocation of fire alann control ranel_ The shop drawings and constnuction sequencing will he reviewed by BCER Engineering for -submittal to the TOV Fire Department for their review and approval— D. New fire alarm devices provided for the spa and guest room addition will not be tied in to the existing panels. New fire alarm devices will be connected to the Vail Front Door fire alarm panel. E. The existing FACP's will continue to be tied together to provide a single fire alarm system operation. The existing fire alarm panel and new fire alarm panel for the Vail Front Door will not be interconnected. The Spa and new residences will FIRE & LIFE SAFETY REPORT Page 11 VAIL FRONT DOOR — Building A, B, C and D - Commercial Portion of Project VAIL, COLORADO April 3, 2006 be connected to the existing fire alarm panel at The Lodge at Vail. The cont ractor th rough the sub- contractor will prepare shop o rawings and construction sequencing for the relocation of fire alarm control panel_ The shop drawings and construction s .nuencing will he reviewed by RCF.R Engineering for submittal to the TC)V Fire Department for their review and ap rn oval F. The contractor requested that due to the complexity of shutting down the fire alarm system would require the use of fire watch or off duty fire fighters to monitor the occupants in the International Wing. The Vail Fire Department has indicated that a fire watch will not be acceptable during the construction process. The fire alarm modifications will need to take place in such a way so as to eliminate down time. This will require modified use of the international wing during the fire alarm modifications.

STRUCTURAL FIRE RESISTANCE Note C;- series code drawing-, for Buildings A, R, C, D and F._ Note the area calculations have been completed and are included on the G -s .ri s code drawings_ Attached III. INTERIOR WALLS AND PARTITIONS A number of fire resistive walls (fire walls, fire barriers and fire partitions) are planned for this project, as depicted under the facility description section above. The design team has met with the TOV Building and Fire Department to determine the locations of these fire resistive walls. The G -series code drawings indicate the locations of these walls. Some of the walls are intended to be 3 -hour firewalls separating buildings or 1 -2 hour occupancy separations. These firewalls, as planned, do not comply with the prescriptive requirements of the 2003 IBC. Specifically, Section 705.1 and Section 503.2 of the IBC requires that firewalls considered to separate buildings shall be constructed without openings. Due to the unique property of Vail Front Door and the location of the new structures in relation to the existing structures and the close proximity to the ski mountain, openings in these fire resistive walls must exist. The design team through meetings with the TOV Building and Fire Department plan to utilize an equivalency approach through additional fire protection features (active protection), operational considerations (management operations), and passive protection features to achieve protected openings that result in considering the buildings as separate buildings. A summary of the firewall separations on this project is provided below: Description Separation Reasoning Occupancy *Fire Rating Group Construction Type Lower Level Parking (east wall) /Alpine Alpine Club Construction Type S -2 1 Hr.

The Parking Garage & Loading Dock building, Alpine Club, and Skier Services will be provided a fire alarm with the main Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP) to be located in the Alpine Club. The Chalets will be provided a fire alarm system with the FACP to be located in or near the lower level of the residential parking garage. This system will be a sub - system to the main FACP located at the Alpine Club, thereby, permitting the main FACP to annunciate an address for every device in the Chalets. The Spa and Guestroom Addition of Lodge at Vail will be provided with an extension of the existing fire alarm system of the Lodge at Vail. The Spa and Guestroom Addition will be monitored by the Lodge at Vail fire alarm system and managed (response) by the Lodge at Vail management staff. The South Lodge Tower will continue to be monitored by the existing fire alarm system at South Lodge Tower. If a new fire alarm system is provided for South Lodge Tower as part of the remodel planned, it will monitor the South Lodge Tower. The Lodge at Vail and South Lodge Tower will be provided with remote annunciator panels from the main FACP located in the Alpine Club. This will provide the management staffs of those facilities the ability to identify an alarm occurring in the Parking Garage & Loading Dock, Alpine Club, Skier Services, and Chalets. But more importantly, it will give the Fire Department the ability to assess an alarm occurring at Vail Front Door from these remote locations. Qualified individuals acceptable to the Fire Department will regularly test all active fire protection systems and devices in accordance with applicable codes and standards. Records of all maintenance and testing will be retained on site and presented to authorized representatives upon request. l• 4 1.

This Life Safety Report and Administrative Modification is intended to address the residential portions of the project of the huilding known ac Rnilding F. and shonld reference as a companion document the Vail Front Door R -ilding A, R, C: and D Life Safety Report- This package intends to describe, in performance -based language, the overall approach to active and passive fire protection features in the facility, whether required by Code, the Authority Having Jurisdictions, or as a result of an Owner request. It also describes the interaction of these systems in providing an overall coordinated fire protection package. The application of this administrative modification will provide an equivalent level of life- safety to Section 503.1.1, Exception 2 of the 2003 International Fire Code (IFC) design requirements for fire apparatus access road requirements. The application of this administrative modification will also provide an equivalent level of life- safety to Section 508.2 of the 2003 International Building Code (IBC) design requirements for mixed use of enclosed parking garage (Group S -2) below and residential (Group R) above. The enclosed parking garage (Group S -2) is referenced as the "residential parking structure" in the project design documents and for consistency is referenced as the residential parking structure throughout the remainder of this request. This request presents a code methodology based on the design issues identified in these discussions, which are: ITIT MW M i - Mie 1. 1 1 - •1 1i • N.1G1 /1 1 1 • • 1 • - 1 • 1 • . 1 • - • - 1 • 1 " • 1 r • 1 • 1 ' r QW-1011181MMIRI " 1 - 1 • 1 " 1 1 • r - - • . • 1 This is a request for an administrative modification. It is intended to document the approach for fire protection and life safety and recommend specific provisions for the Vail Front Door Residences project. The 2003 International Building Code (IBC) permits this submittal and documentation process for the approval of alternate materials, design and methods of construction under Sections 104.10 and 104.11. The 2003 International Fire Code (IFC) permits this submittal and documentation process for the approval of alternate materials, design and methods of construction under Sections 104.8 and 104.9. These sections permit Building and Fire Officials to grant modifications for individual cases with special provisions. This administrative modification process allows officials to provide guidance when determining that the strict letter of the code is not practical and when the modification is in conformance with the intent and purpose of the Code. Such modification must be a reasonable approach to complying with the current Code and not lessen the level of fire protection, the life safety of the occupants or impact the structural integrity of the building. The detail of any such action granting modification by this administrative modification process shall be recorded and entered into the files of the code enforcement agencies and considered to be the code for the design and construction of the project. See The Life Safety Report for the Vail Front Door — Commercial Portion of the project dated April 3, 2006 for details related to the buildings and parking structures adjacent to the Chalet Residential Project. Chalets The Chalets consist of four duplex residential structures and one triplex residential structure (total of 13 dwelling units) interconnected by a lower level - parking garage. The residential structures are identified from north to south as Building 1 and 2 on the west end, Building 3 and 4 in the center, and Building 5 (triplex) and 6 which actually are situated next to each other with 5 being west of 6. Buildings 5 and 6 are interconnected by Building 6 private parking garage. Building 6 does not have access to the residential parking garage. A corner of Building 5 and a portion of Building 6 reside above the tunnel for the new Parking Garage and Loading Dock. In total, the residential parking garage and the residential structures are approximately 75,700 fe in area. The residential structures are considered R occupancy classifications and the residential parking garage is considered an S -2 occupancy classification. The residential parking garage and the private garage for Building 6 is accessed from Vail Road via a road residing above the tunnel for the new Parking Garage and Loading Dock and leading to a roundabout in front of the new Alpine Club. Beyond the roundabout this road provides access to the existing One Vail Place. Each of the residential buildings will be four - levels with three stories above grade. The residential lowest levels are at different elevations. The residential structures are located on top of and on the side of the residential parking garage that serves them. The residential parking garage has a second level mechanical equipment room serving the residential structures. Each of the residential units will be equipped with an elevator that provides service from the residential parking garage with the exception of Building 6. Building 6 has a private garage. As each of the residential structure lowest levels begin at different elevations, the height of each elevator shaft varies to accommodate the elevation of the floors each shaft serves. Due to the varying elevations of each residential structure, some Buildings actually have structural void spaces. These void spaces are to be filled entirely with a structural foam material. Each of the residential structures are separated by distance at all levels and interconnected only at the residential parking garage, with the exception of Building 5 and 6 which are interconnected by the private parking garage for Building 6. As these residential structures are elevated from the residential parking garage at staggered elevations, there is a significant volume of space between the structures. This space is to be filled with structural foam material (same material as the void space fill) to minimize the weight on top of the residential parking garage structure. Soil used to fill this space would result in too costly and large structural members for the residential parking garage. However, soil will be placed on top of the foam fill, in the areas between the residential structures, making up the courtyards and walkways between residential structures. Fire Department access to the south side of the Chalets is limited. Fire Protection features have been designed to supplement Fire Department response to this area. This includes the installation of exterior standpipe hose valves that are connected to the building standpipe system. The locations of these valves are located on the attached fire protection site plan and have been approved by the TOV fire department. The facility will be constructed under the provisions of the 2003 editions of the International Codes and the Town of Vail Amendments. The facility will not be treated as one overall building in regards to construction type and allowable areas, as separation by firewalls or space is planned to be utilized. Each building area may have non - separated uses as allowed by code. The parking garage portion of the building is occupied with parking and storage of private motorized vehicles via guest parking spaces as well as private, two -car, garages constructed for each dwelling unit. The tunnel is also occupied with similar uses incidental to the operation of the building such as mechanical rooms, storage rooms, receiving room, and Fire Command room. The private parking garage includes a two -car parking space and will also include a dwelling unit storage room or space. Section 310 of the 2003 IBC defines the various Group R occupancies as follows: ➢ R -1 is reserved for residential occupancies where occupants are transient in nature; ➢ R -2 is reserved for residential occupancies containing more than two dwelling units where the occupants are permanent in nature; ➢ R -3 is reserved for residential occupancies where the occupants are permanent in nature and not classified as R -1, R -2, R -4 or I and where buildings do not contain more than two dwelling units. ➢ R -4 is reserved for residential occupancies arranged as residential care /assisted living facilities. Section 310.2 of the 2003 IBC defines dwelling unit as a single unit providing complete, independent living facilities for one or more persons, including permanent provisions for living, sleeping, eating, cooking, and sanitation. The dwelling structures "closely resemble" five, stand -alone duplex (two - family) and one triplex residential buildings that are individually attached to the Group S -2 parking structure or separate from the enclosed parking garage below. See attached G -series Code Drawings for the Chalet Residential Project. Due to the resemblance to stand -alone duplex residential buildings and the definitions of R occupancies as well as dwelling unit, the design team recommends classification of each of the individual residential dwelling structures as Gmup R or residential occupancy that most closely resembles a ('Troup R-I Occupancy- Details of the construction of the residential structures are provided with the G — Series Code Review Drawings and the current Construction Documents. Residential dwelling structures are to be constructed with three living space levels No mechanical equipment will occupy the attic spaces. Mechanical equipment is planned for the floor or mezzanine space between the parking garage and the residences above. Fire Department access to the entire building (site) will occur at the main tunnel entrance and staging area near the Alpine SKI Club Building. There is fire fighter access provided at the grade level of the Chalets. The proposed fire protection and life- safety systems for the Vail Front Door Chalet Residences building include the following features: 1. Hydraulically designed and supervised automatic sprinkler system throughout the residential and tunnel portions of the building, installed in accordance with NFPA 13, 2002 Edition. The water supply to each residence will come from a bulk water main in the parking garage and be controlled by a main supervised control valve with main flow switch near the water entry. A supervised control valve with addressable flow switch downstream will also control each residential unit. The residential automatic sprinkler systems will be installed throughout the residential building in accordance with NFPA 13, 2002 Edition, utilizing either automatic sprinklers in concealed spaces or compliance with one of the fifteen methods of constructing concealed spaces to not require sprinkler protection described in section 8.14.1.2 of NFPA 13. The residences parking structure automatic sprinkler protection will be installed throughout utilizing a single separate zone from the bulk water main in the parking garage and be controlled by a supervised control valve with addressable flow switch. 2. A separate Class I, manual dry standpipe/hydrant system that is interconnected to the water supply entry via a normally- closed, supervised, control valve, will also be provided with hose connections throughout. The standpipe system will feature a hose valve with two 2 - /x inch valve with 1 - /z inch reducers at each valve. The standpipe system will be designed in accordance with NFPA 14, 2003 Edition and local requirements. 3. A fully addressable and analog fire alarm system throughout the residential and tunnel portions of the building to notify the building occupants and the fire alarm monitoring agency of emergency will also be provided. The fire alarm system design will be in accordance with NFPA 72, 2002 Edition and local TOV draft amendments to the 2003 IBC and 2003 IFC. In order for the Vail Front Door Residences project to function with the purpose of the overall building design, an equivalent approach must be developed to meet the intent and levels of life - safety required in the 2003 IFC and IBC. We are proposing the nse of a systems approach and performance -based methodology for code compliance compared ton single -code traditional r s .nptive method APPI.ICARI.R CODES The design requirements for fire apparatus access roads come from the 2003 IFC Sections 503. 2003 IFC Design Requirements Section 503.1.1 requires fire apparatus access roads be constructed for every building, such that all portions of the exterior walls of the building are within 150 feet of the fire apparatus access roads as measured by an approved route around the exterior of the building. Due to adjoining topography and waterways surrounding the project site, constructing code compliant fire apparatus access roads is not feasible. Exception 2 of Section 503.1.1 allows the fire code official to increase the maximum 150 -foot dimension when the fire apparatus access roads cannot be installed because of location on property, topography, waterways, non - negotiable grades or similar conditions, and an approved alternate means of fire protection is provided. Recommendation The Vail Front Door Chalet Residences site will not meet the requirements of Section 503 of the 2003 IFC due to topography, proximity and non - negotiable grades. The project must proceed with additional fire protection features above what is prescriptively required in the code. The additional fire protection features identified in this report are intended to establish an equivalent level of fire- and life- safety afforded for complying with the maximum 150 -foot dimension of fire apparatus access roads. FIRE SPRINKLER SYSTEM DESIGN APPLICABLE CODES Section 903.2.7 of the 2003 IBC and the same section in the 2003 IFC require all buildings with Group R occupancies to have a fire sprinkler system throughout the building. Section 903.2.9 of the 2003 IBC also requires fire sprinkler systems for Group S -2 enclosed parking garages, and enclosed parking garages when located beneath other occupancy Groups. The tunnel portion of the building would be required to have a NFPA 13 fire sprinkler system. Section 903.3.1.2 of the 2003 IBC and the same section of the 2003 IFC allow the Group residential portion of the building to have a NFPA 13R fire sprinkler system. The design requirements for fire sprinkler systems come from NFPA 13 and 13R. NFPA 13 and 13R Fire Sprinkler Design Requirements With a few exceptions, a NFPA 13 fire sprinkler system requires coverage for all habitable areas of a building, as well as, combustible concealed spaces. A NFPA 13R fire sprinkler system allows for the omission of fire sprinkler coverage in small areas within a building and also omits sprinkler coverage within combustible concealed spaces. A NFPA 13R fire sprinkler system is also hydraulically designed for life safety preservation and minimal property preservation. Since the NFPA 13 standard requires greater coverage and hydraulic design criteria, it can be viewed as a design standard that provides a greater level of fire- and life - safety as well as property preservation than the NFPA 13R design standard. We are intending to provide a complete design compliant NFPA 13 fire sprinkler system throughout the Group R -3 dwelling units to provide a greater level of fire- and life - safety than is required by the 2003 IBC and 2003 IFC (for NFPA 13 R systems).

Concealed spaces (attic, crawl space, and interstitial spaces) within the residential portions of the building are to be sprinklered or comply with concealed spaces not requiring sprinkler protection in NFPA 13 (Section 8.14.1.2). Individual supervised control valves would be installed at the ceiling level, but accessible, in the tunnel to isolate the NFPA 13 fire sprinkler system of each individual Group R -3 dwelling unit (including each private garage for each dwelling unit). Each water supply to the dwelling units would attach to a bulk sprinkler system main that would attach to a riser in the water entry room near the Fire Command room with the main fire sprinkler and standpipe system control valves. FIRE ALARM SYSTEM DESIGN APPI ICARI.F. CODES Section 907.2 of the 2003 IBC and the same section in the 2003 IFC require approved manual, automatic, or manual and automatic fire alarm systems be provided in new buildings and structures in accordance with Sections 907.2.1 through 907.2.23. Where automatic sprinkler protection installed in accordance with Section 903.3.1.1 (NFPA 13) or 903.3.1.2 (NFPA 13R) is provided and connected to the building fire alarm system, automatic heat detection is not required. Sections 907.2.1 through 907.2.23 specify the occupancies or conditions that require some form of fire alarm system. Group S -2 occupancies are not included in these sections and therefore no form of fire alarm is required in the Group S -2 occupancy except that necessary for the required automatic sprinkler flow alarms and tamper switches as well as manual pulls and notification devices. Group R -3 occupancies are included in Section 907.2.10.1.2 of the 2003 IBC and the same section in the 2003 IFC and require single- or multiple- station smoke alarms installed and maintained in Group R -3 occupancies regardless of occupant load at all of the following locations: 1. On the ceiling or wall outside of each separate sleeping area in the immediate vicinity of bedrooms. 2. In each room used for sleeping purposes. 3. In each story within a dwelling unit, including basements but not including crawl spaces and uninhabitable attics. Section 907.2 of the Town of Vail Amendments to the 2003 IFC requires every hotel, motel, apartment building, condominium building and commercial building with attached residential occupancies having 3 or more stories, or with more than 11 units, classified under the 2003 IBC as Group A -1, A -2, A -2.1, A -3, A -4, B -2, R -1 and R -2, to have a fire alarm system installed in accordance with the 2003 IBC and the 2002 NFPA 72. The amendment does not indicate that Section 907.2 is deleted and replaced so it is assumed that the amendment for Section 907.2 is a modification only. Neither the amendment for Section 907.2 nor any of the amendment Section 907.2 subsections identify any fire alarm requirements for S -2 or R -3 occupancies. Section 907.2 of the 2003 IBC and the same section in the 2003 IFC require that an approved automatic fire detection system be installed in accordance with the provisions of NFPA 72. One of the most reliable forms of fire alarm systems is one that is fully addressable and analog (intelligent). Section 907.2.8.3 of the Town of Vail Amendments to the 2003 IFC requires all Group R -1 occupancies to have smoke alarms installed that are fully addressable, analog systems. The amendment does not have a similar requirement for Group R -3 occupancies. NFPA 72 Fire Alarm Design Requirements Single and multiple - station alarm requirements for one- and two - family dwelling units are addressed in Section 11.5.1 of the 2002 NFPA 72 as follows: 1. Smoke detection is required in the same locations as is required in Section 907.2.10.1.2 of the 2003 IBC and the same section in the 2003 IFC, above. Smoke detection is required as follows (Section 11.5.1.1 of 2002 NFPA 72): a. In all sleeping rooms. b. Outside of each separate sleeping area, in the immediate vicinity of the sleeping rooms. c. On each level of the dwelling unit, including basements. 2. Notification is required as follows (Section 11.5.1.2 of 2002 NFPA 72): a. Fire - warning equipment for dwelling units shall provide a sound that is audible in all occupied dwelling areas. b. Where more than one smoke or heat alarm is installed for new construction, they shall be arranged so that the operation of any smoke or heat alarm causes the alarm in all smoke and heat alarms within the dwelling unit to sound. A fully addressable and analog fire alarm s, sy tem is one where the initiating devices are addressable and analog. An addressable device is a fire alarm system component with discrete identification that can have its status (alarm status) individually identified. An analog device transmits a signal indicating varying degrees of condition (such as a fault, clean or dirty) as contrasted with a conventional initiating device, which can only indicate an on -off condition.

The parking garage would be on one zone and each of the dwelling units would be on an individual zone. The fire alarm control panel would be located in the Fire Command Room at the primary fire department access point and will report to the Vail Front Door main Fire Alarm System. Each dwelling unit initiating fire alarm zone would consist of a flow switch and tamper for the automatic sprinklers protecting the private garage and storage unit in the tunnel for that unit as well as all of the sprinklered portions of the dwelling unit. Each dwelling unit initiating fire alarm zone would also consist of heat detection devices located in the private garage and storage unit in the garage, smoke/heat detection devices throughout all three levels of the dwelling unit, and heat detection throughout the crawl space. No manual pull devices are planned for the individual dwelling unit fire alarm zones. Dwelling unit smoke detection devices would be designed in accordance with the NFPA 72 requirements for location and notification requirements of single- and multiple- station fire alarm system for one- and two- family dwelling units (Section 11.5.1.1 of the 2002 NFPA 72). Only automatic sprinkler water flow alarms on each residential zone would transmit a general alarm to a supervisory station (notification to the fire department) as smoke detectors would transmit only a supervisory alarm to the Fire Alarm Control Panel. Residential zone automatic sprinkler water -flow alarms and heat detector alarms would initiate local alarm for the dwelling unit of alarm initiation as well as the adjacent dwelling unit. The parking garage initiating fire alarm zone will consist of the main flow switch for the automatic sprinkler system for the automatic sprinkler systems of the parking garage, the control valve tamper switches and heat detection devices (addressable and analog) in the various rooms within the parking garage. The parking garage initiating fire alarm zone would also consist of manual pull stations strategically located throughout the parking garage to be within close proximity of the personnel doors for each unit, as well as manual pull stations near each exit from the parking garage. The parking garage notification fire alarm zone will consist of horns and strobes located for proper coverage throughout the tunnel in accordance with NFPA 72. Applicable Codes Section 508.2 of the 2003 IBC allows Group S -2 enclosed parking garages with Group R occupancies above to function as separate buildings in regards to area limitations, continuity of fire walls, limitations of stories and type of construction. Table 704.8 has the requirements for un- protected openings in exterior walls. Table 602 has the requirements for the fire - resistance rating of exterior walls based on fire separation distance. 131JU DING SEPARATION REQUIREMENTS From a code definition standpoint the VFD Chalet Residences project is a single building. A Group S -2 below - grade, enclosed parking garage connects five separate Residential Group R -3 building sections that contain two or three individual dwelling units each. Though this is a single building, the design team proposes to construct the building so it can function from a fire separation standpoint as a Group S -2 enclosed parking structure with Group R dwelling above it in accordance with Section 508.2 of the 2003 IBC. To make this acceptable the following conditions of Section 508.2 of the 2003 IBC would be met: 1. Part 1 of Section 508.2 requires the below -grade Group S -2 enclosed parking garage with the drive aisle and individual private parking garages would be constructed with Type I -A construction. A 3 -hour horizontal floor /ceiling assembly above the garage separating it from any portion of Group R -3 dwelling areas above it would be provided. 2. Part 2 of Section 508.2 allows for 2 -hour fire- resistance rated shafts /stairways to penetrate the 3 -hour horizontal assembly. There is planned a two -hour rated elevator shaft enclosure from the private parking garage below into the dwelling unit that would be enclosed with a 2 -hour shaft and a 90- minute door opening (according to fire door requirements of Table 715.3). The elevator hoist -way will be separated from the parking garage by 90- minute elevator doors and a one -hour elevator lobby. 3. The connected structure to the Group S -2 will contain only Group R occupancies in accordance with Part 3 of Section 508.2. 4. The enclosed garage level will have only parking and storage of private motorized vehicles as well as mechanical rooms and private storage rooms as similar uses incidental to the operation of the building. In addition the enclosed garage level will be protected throughout by an approved automatic sprinkler system. All of this in accordance with Part 4 of Section 508.2. 5. Part 5 of Section 508.2 has a requirement that the maximum building height will not exceed the limits of Table 503. Since the building will have a fire sprinkler system, Section 504.2 allows for a 20 -foot increase in building height increase from Table 503 (40 feet without the increase) to a height of 60 feet. This height limitation will be met. The above narrative justifies application of Section 508.2 of the 2003 IBC to consider the below - grade Group S -2 parking garage as a separate building from the Group residential dwelling units above in regards to area limitations, continuity of fire walls, limitations of stories and type of construction. These separate, two or three - dwelling areas will have portions of exterior walls that face each other. The separation distance between these facing exterior walls is greater than 5 feet. Per Section 704.5 of the 2003 IBC requires an exterior wall to be rated from the inside when the fire separation distance is greater than 5 feet. Given the fire separation distance between the separate duplex structures, the fire resistance rating from the inside is appropriate. Footnote f of Table 704.8 allows for an unlimited amount of un- protected openings in exterior walls for Group R -3 occupancies with a fire separation distance greater than 5 feet. These two - three - dwelling areas will have roof eaves that utilize wood exterior materials of construction. This is not prohibited by the 2003 IBC, however, is an opportunity for improving the risk of exterior vertical fire spread into the attic spaces via the eave overhang by adding an additional level of construction fire resistance. This additional level of fire resistance could consist of a single layer of noncombustible construction material directly beneath the exterior wood material on the bottom side of the roof eaves. Recommendation: To utilize Type V construction of the dwelling residential structures, it is recommended by the design team that the Town of Vail Rnilding and Fire Officials accept the design of the hllildino using the increased fire- resistive separation pmvisions of Section 50R.2 of the 2003 TRC The design team believes that the fire resistive separation between the Group S -2 parking garage and Group Residential dwelling units mitigates a large portion of the fire exposure potential of this large building. By limiting this fire exposure, the maximum fire potential of the overall building is greatly reduced. It is also recommended by the design team that the Town of Vail Building and Fire Officials accept the design of the exterior walls that face each other between the individual dwelling areas being one -hour walls rated from the inside only and that unprotected openings on these walls be unlimited in area. With the increase fire resistive separation afforded by the 2003 IBC, Section 508.2 provision, the design team feels the one -hour fire- resistive exterior walls of the residential structures can be rated from the inside according to Section 704.5 and window opening can be un- protected according to Footnote f of Table 704.8. All exterior walls will be one -hour rated from the inside only which complies with the requirements for exterior bearing walls. Applicable Codes Section 503.2 of the 2003 IBC requires any wall located on a property line between adjacent buildings, which is used or adapted for joint service between the two buildings, be constructed as a fire wall in accordance with Section 705, without openings, to create separate buildings. Since these residential dwelling structures "closely resemble" two or three, stand -alone residential buildings that are individually constructed with fire separation from the Group S -2 parking structure, the use of the 2003 International Residential Code (IRC) as it pertains to dwelling unit separation is recommended by the design team. Section R317 of the 2003 IRC describes the requirements for dwelling unit separation for two - family dwellings and for townhouses. Section R202 defines dwelling unit the same way that the 2003 IBC does, as a single unit providing complete independent living facilities for one or more persons, including permanent provisions for living, sleeping, eating, cooking, and sanitation. Section R202 of the 2003 IRC defines townhouse as a single - family dwelling unit constructed in a group of three or more attached units in which each unit extends from foundation to roof and with open space on at least two sides. Since these dwelling structures "closely resemble" stand -alone duplex (two - family) residential buildings that are individually constructed with fire separation from the Group S -2 parking structure (tunnel), the use of the 2003 International Residential Code (IRC) for dwelling unit separation of two - family dwellings (Section R317) is recommended by the design team. The design team believes the dwelling unit separation design requirements for townhouses is not applicable to this project. 2003 IRC Design Requirements Section R317.1 of the 2003 IRC requires dwelling units in two- family dwellings to be separated from each other by wall and/or floor assemblies having not less than one -hour ( /2 -hour fire - resistance rating in buildings protected throughout with an automatic sprinkler system installed in accordance with NFPA 13). Fire - resistance -rated floor - ceiling and wall assemblies are required to extend to and be tight against the exterior wall. Fire- resistance -rated wall assemblies are required to extend to the underside of the roof sheathing. There are no additional requirements for parapets at the roof or protection of projections (decks, eaves or overhangs, etc.) as there are for party walls in the 2003 IBC or as there are for dwelling unit separation of townhouses in the 2003 IRC. Recommendation To alleviate the need for dwelling unit separation construction in accordance with Section 503.2 of the 2003 IBC party walls and to alleviate the need for dwelling unit separation construction in accordance with Section 317.2 of the 2003 IRC townhouses, it is recommended by the design team that the Town of Vail Building and Fire Officials accept the design of the common wall between dwelling units (party wall) as a wall exceeding (2 -hour vs. 1 /2 -hour) the requirements of Section R317 of the 2003 IRC for dwelling unit separation of two - family dwellings (Section R317.1). As these residential dwelling structures "closely resemble" stand -alone duplex residential buildings that are individually attached to the Group S -2 parking structure, the design team is recommending using a design for the common wall between units that is an additional level of fire- and life- safety to help establish an acceptable level of equivalency for the dwelling unit separation requirements for two - family dwellings from the 2003 IRC and to establish an additional level of resistance to fire spread between the dwelling units. This dwelling unit separation consists of the following features: 1. The wall between dwelling units constructed as a two -hour fire- resistance -rated wall without openings. The fire wall will be constructed in accordance with Gypsum Association File No. 3820 as a parallel stud wall with a 3 -inch gap between studs filled with an approved fire - blocking material. 2. The wall between dwelling units (fire wall) will extend to and be tight against the exterior walls and will extend to the underside of the roof sheathing or be provided with fire blocking or fire caulking. 3. There will be no additional protection features where the wall between the dwelling units (fire wall) intersects the exterior walls and there are horizontal projecting elements (balconies, roof overhangs, canopies, and other architectural projections). 4. The wall between dwelling units (fire wall) will not have a parapet (vertical continuity) nor will any additional protection features be provided as an equivalency to a parapet (such as 5/8 -inch Type X gypsum board directly beneath the underside of the roof sheathing or deck, supported by a minimum of 2 -inch ledgers attached to the sides of the roof framing members for a minimum distance of 4 feet on both sides of the fire wall). 5. There will be no openings in the wall between dwelling units (party wall). 6. There will be no penetrations through the wall between dwelling units (fire wall). 7. All of the joints installed in or between the fire wall (wall between dwelling units) will be protected by an approved fire- resistant joint system designed to resist the passage of fire for not less than 2- hours. 8. No duct or air transfer openings will penetrate the wall between dwelling units (fire wall). An elevator and elevator shaft is planned for each residential unit to communicate to the parking garage. The elevator shaft is located between the Group S -2 Parking Garage and the Group R - residential dwelling unit above. The shaft also penetrates the horizontal floor /ceiling assembly of the tunnel. The elevator hoist -way and opening to the elevator is located near the complying open stair in the residential unit. Applicable Codes Section 508.2 of the 2003 IBC allows Group S -2 enclosed parking garages with Group R occupancies above to function as separate buildings in regards to area limitations, continuity of fire walls, limitations of stories and type of construction. Condition 1 of the list of requirements to treat this building in accordance with Section 508.2 requires a 3 -hour horizontal floor /ceiling assembly above the tunnel separating it from any portion of Group R -3 dwelling areas above it. As requested in the Construction Types, Areas, Heights and Separation Design section of this document, the design team would like to construct a 3 -hour fire- resistive separation (in accordance with Table 715.3 of the 2003 IBC) between the garage (Group S -2) and the residential dwelling units above. Condition 2 of the list of requirements to treat this building in accordance with Section 508.2 allows for 2 -hour fire - resistance rated shafts to penetrate the 3 -hour separation assembly required between the parking garage and dwelling units as long as the shaft has opening protectives in accordance with Table 715.3 of the 2003 IBC. Table 715.3 of the 2003 IBC requires a minimum 90- minute fire door on the elevator. The Elevator doors are rated 90- minute and are not intended to be protected with an elevator lobby or a door over the elevator door in the residential units. Recommendation To alleviate the need for using a 3 -hour door on the typical elevator shaft it is recommended by the design team that Town of Vail Building and Fire Officials accept the Ilse, of one. hour fire resistive wall and doors on the elevator lobby at the an rking garage level_ This will prevent the transmission of hot smoke and$ases from a fire from the an rking garage_ Since the elevatorshaft openings are located within 10 feet of the open stair in the residences h r . would he no fire protection value for creating an elevator lobby or separation of the elevator shaft from the. residences on each residential floor. The design team believes this to be an equivalent level of fire- and life- safety considering the ability of fire to travel vertically through a horizontal barrier with greater ease than traveling horizontally through a vertical barrier of equivalent fire- rating features. The issue presented in this administrative modification involves the design of additional fire and life -safety construction features that would overcome the issues of the fire apparatus access road design to create an equivalent level of life- safety. Also presented in this administrative modification is a level of understanding and equivalency of the Group R residential units attached to the Group S -2 Parking Garage with the Group R above. This is achieved in accordance with Section 508.2 of the 2003 IBC and a level of understanding and equivalency of the construction features of the separation between the Group S -2 parking garage and each of the residential dwelling structures, separation between each of the dwelling structures, as well as separation between each of the residential individual units within the dwelling structure (party wall). The design and current permit drawings have been based on meetings related to this administrative modification. This request requires the acceptance of the code equivalency approach presented in this report. The design team requests the Town of Vail Building and Fire Department approval of this equivalent design. As summary, the design of the Chalets at Vail Front Door is based on this document as follows: From a code definition standpoint the Vail Front Door Chalet Residences project is a single building. A Group S -2 below - grade, enclosed parking garage connects separate residential building sections that contain two or three individual dwelling units each. Even though this is a single building, the design team would like to construct the building so it can function from a fire separation standpoint as a Group S -2 enclosed parking structure with Group R dwelling above it in accordance with Section 508.2 of the 2003 IBC. 2. The residential dwelling structures "closely resemble" stand -alone residential buildings that are individually attached to the Group S -2 parking structure. Due to the resemblance to stand -alone residential buildings and the definitions of R occupancies as well as dwelling unit, the design team recommends classification of each of the individual residential dwelling structures as a residential occupancy. 3. As an equivalency to the requirements of constructing fire apparatus access roads and access features according to Section 503 of the 2003 IFC, the following design components for full equivalency are planned: a. Hydraulically designed and supervised automatic sprinkler system throughout the residential and tunnel portions of the building, installed in accordance with NFPA 13, 2002 Edition. Concealed spaces (attic, crawl space, and interstitial spaces) within the residential portions of the building are to be sprinklered or comply with concealed spaces not requiring sprinkler protection in NFPA 13 (Section 8.14.1.2). b. A separate Class I, manual dry standpipe/hydrant system that is interconnected to the other standpipe system and fire department connections. c. A fire alarm system throughout the three levels of residential and parking garage portions of the building to notify the building occupants and the fire alarm monitoring agency of emergency. d. The wall between dwelling units constructed as a two -hour fire - resistance -rated wall without openings in lieu of the prescriptively required 1 /z -hour rated wall required by Section 317.1 of the 2003 IRC for NFPA 13 sprinklered residential dwellings. e. The roof eaves of the residential portion of the building constructed with an approved single layer of noncombustible construction material directly beneath the exterior wood material on the bottom side of the wood eaves. 4. Utilize Type V construction of the dwelling residential structures in accordance with the increased fire- resistive separation provisions of Section 508.2 of the 2003 IBC. 5. The exterior walls of the residential dwelling units constructed as one -hour walls rated from the inside only and that unprotected openings on these walls be unlimited in area. This in accordance with Section 704.5 of the 2003 IBC and Footnote f of Table 704.8 of the 2003 IBC. 6. The design of the common wall between dwelling units (party wall) as a wall exceeding the requirements of Section R317 of the 2003 IRC for dwelling unit separation of two - family dwellings (Section R317.1). The wall will be constructed as a two -hour fire - resistance -rated wall without openings and will extend to and be tight against the exterior walls and will extend to the underside of the roof sheathing. 7. The elevator shaft from the parking garage level to the residential levels will be protected with a one -hour elevator lobby. The elevator shaft communication to the residential units will not be provided with either an elevator lobby or any special protection of the elevator shaft or opening to the elevator shaft. The recommendations in this request meet the spirit and intent of the 2003 IFC and IBC, and do not compromise either the life safety of the occupants or the property and buildings. This request for administrative modification is intended only for the new Vail Front Door Chalet Residences building and is not intended to be applied to any other project in the Town of Vail, nor should it be considered as precedent setting for any other projects with similar conditions. We greatly appreciate the continued cooperative spirit already given to the project from the Town of Vail Building and Fire Officials. Based on approval of this request for administrative modification the design team will proceed with development of the fire protection and life safety plans with involvement from the Building and Fire Officials. We request your concurrence of the alternative method of design, which is based on a performance -based scheme, by signature below.
