Februarv 8. 2002 Allison Ochs ToV Department of Community Development 75 South Frontage Road Vail, CO 81657 Re:Middle Creek Village Preliminary Drainage Report Addendum Dear Allison: TIte Preliminary Drainage Report for Mid.dte Creek Village dated August 2l,2OOl,proposed a sedimentation pond at the southeast comer of th€ proposed development. Due to design changes and recommendations, site constraints will make a pond impractical for the proposed development. In iieu of a sedimentation pond, several measures will be taken to promote stormwater runoff water quality. A curb and gutter and stonn sewer system is proposed to carry stormwater through the site. The drainage system is designed with curb inlets and sand oil separators. Per Town ofVail standards, tbe proposed Type 13C curb inlets are designed with a 1.5' sump beiow the inlet to capture sediment from runoff. Additionally, two sand/oil separators are proposed to capture sediment and oil from parking lot, access drive, and snow melt runoff. A preliminary layout of these measures is shown on the grading and drainage plan. A final sizing of the drainage improvements will occur in the Final Drainage Study for Middle Creek Village, during the final plat submittal. All improvements will be designed per Town of Vail Standards. The proposed system will facilitate sedimeirtation from site runoff. Additionally, "Best Management Practices" wiil be implemented during the construction process to ensure appropriate erosion control and water quality measures are taken. Erosion control throughout the construction process will consist of silt fence, staw bales, and check dams. Please do not hesitate to contact me should you have any questions. Sincerelv. 9704768644 .

The site is north of the north frontage road of I-70 approximately % mile west of the main Vail interchange. The attached vicinity map shows the project location. The existing site proposed for development is approximately 8.1 acres and includes the existing Mountain Bell Road and the Qwest (old Mountain Bell) microwave tower building. The proposed development plan consists of 8 multi-unit buildings with related parking and appurtenant structures. Mountain Bell Road would be extended ttuough the site to create a loop to: and fromthe north frontase road. Existine Hydrolow 'r Ndddle Creek passes through the property fiom'north to south approximately 250 feet west of the existing Mountain Bell Tower building. The Middle Creek drainage basin is. approximately 6 square miles and is included intheFlood Insurance Study of tlre Town of Vail dated November 2, 1982. The hydrology of the drainage basin will remain largely unchanged as a result ofthe proposed development. The 100 year floodplain ,*I based on stream deptlq as shown on flood profile panels 07P thru 09P, has beenit,,: delineated and is included in the appendix. .''' ,i. The westerly l/3 ofthe proposed development site (2.8 acres) is within the Mddle Creek drainage basin. The existing Mountain Bell Tower building, parking lot and driveway to the north frontage road occupies 0.9 acres ofthe proposed development site. The easterly 2/3 of the site (5.3 acres) flows south to the roadside ditch along the north frontage road which flows east toward Spraddle Creek. AII hydrology calculations in this study utilized the Rational Method. This method has been shown to be appropriate for calculating the hydrology of small drainage basins of fewer than 100 acres. Runoffcoefficients were taken from the Urban Drainage Marrual, Denver Regional Council of Governments, Table 3-1, and rainfall intensities were taken from the Town of Vail "Intensity - Duration - Frequency Curves". The table and curves , are presented in the Appendix. Proposed Hydrofow The development of the existing site will utilize the existing drainage basins with 1/3 of the site draining to Middle Creek and 2/3 of the site draining to the north I-70 frontage road ditch. Approximately 9.4 acres of offsite drainage flowing through the site are included in the rational method calculations. Proposed drainage patterns through the site will approximate the existing conditions. No detention is proposed for the site. The surnmary table presents the results of the study with hydrology calculations shown in the appendix. drolow Summ le West Erist. 2.E ac- West Proo.East Exist 14.7 ac East Pron.

Proposed sedimentation pond at the southeast corner of the project site will also act to promote sedimentation and infiltration of runoff from the site. All swales will be grass lined or lined with rip-rap when water velocities and slope mandate. Additionally, silt fence and straw bale dikes will be used throuehout the site during the construction process. Proposed Drainage Improvements Proposed drainage improvements include extension of the existing Middle Creek culvert to the north, catch basins in Mountain Bell road at both the southwest entrance and the southeast entrance to the site, and culverts under the Mountain Bell road entrances to accommodate the north frontage road drainage. Hydraulic calculations for the drainage improvements are included in the appendix. Conclusions Runofffrom the proposed development will follow existing drainage patterns. Theproposed sedimentation basin will serve as a water qualityleature io i.ornot"sedimentation and infiltration. Catch basins will have additional depth to further facilitate sedimentation, Inlets, catch basins and culverts will be designed to safely pass the l0-year event. Surface drainage improvements wili be designed to safely pass the 1O0-year event without damage to property. As the site plan ii refined, this drainage study will need to be updated.

Azlall This letter describes the results of the noise analysis that Hankard Environmental conducted for the lvliddle Creek Affordable Housing Project in Vaii, Colorado. The purpose of this snrdy was to compare the calculated overall interior noise levels for the proposed stmctures to the U.S. Deparmlent of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) interior noise goal of 45 dB(A). To answer this questio4 the existirg noise levels, lnterstate 70 (l-70) trafEc volurnes and speeds were measured at four locations on the project site. These levels were then adjusted to make them representative ofpeak-hour traffic volumes and speeds on I-70. Next, the adjusted noise levels were used to predict exterior noise levels at the fagade of the proposed structures facing I-70. Fi-nally, knowing the erterior noise levels and usiag standard building materiais for exterior walls, wi:rdows and doors, the irterior noise levels were calcuiated and compared to the HUD noise goal of a5 dB(A). The following provides the details of each step followed by a summary of the complete analysis. Existing Noise Levels Existing noise levels were measured at the four iocations shown as M I throug} M4 in Figure i . These measurements were conducted using a Norsonics Tlpe 114 Octave Band Sorurd Level Meter (SLM), which meets the ANSI Type I specifications. The SLM was calibrated prior to each of the four measurements and re-checked after each measurement. The measurement locations were selected to coincide (where possible) with future building locations. In addition to the noise levels, the traffic volu:nes and speeds along I-70 were monitored as well. The purpose of measuring the uaffic volumes and speeds is to allow for adjlstments to the measured noise levels to simulate peak-hour (loudest hour) noise levels. Figure I and Table I show the overall measured noise level for each measurement location- The measured levels ranged from 63 to 68 dB(A). The traffic volumes along I-70 during the measurernents ranged &om 27o/o to 37o/o lower than peak-hour (loudest hour) volumes provrded by CDOT. To compensate for thig the noise ievels were iacreased by 1.2 to 2.0 dB(A), as applicable. Conversely, the average traffic speeds during the measurements $'ere about 7 mph faster (louder) than peak-hour aver€e traffic speeds per CDOT traffic studies. To compensate for measuring noise levels during faster traffic speeds, ail the measured noise levels were decreased by 0.5 dB(A). The overall adjustments to the measured noise levels were increases of 0.7 to 1.5 dB(A). Thus, the existing peak-hour noise levels for these measur€rnent locations ranged from about 63 to 69 dB(A). These adjusted levels are shown ia Figure I and Table l. 103 East Simpson Street, Suite 100 .

Each proposed srucnre was assigned a buiiding letter (two of the structues are parking garages which were not analyzed). To be consenvative, noise levels were calculated for the highest occupied floor of each proposed sructure, which typically will be the loudest. These levels were calcuiated by appllrng a distance correction to account for the proposed stucture beiag closer or farther away from I-70 than the respective measurement location- Additionally, an elevation correction was applied to account for tbe reduced sound absorption due to the proposed stuctures being elevated higher than the measurement loc*ion. The predicted exterior noise levels range from 64 to 69 dB(A), as shown in Table 2. TABLE 2 EXTERIOR PEAK-HOLR.

However, HUD guidelines state that this can be applied as a design-hour (peak-hour) criterion as well (Ref The Noise Guidebook U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, I99 I , i5 I . I 06). Table 3, below, shows the calculated interior noise levels for each of the proposed sfuctures using the standard construction materials described above, which provide about 26 dB(A) of overali transmrssion loss (Ref. Noise Control for Building and Marufacturing Planrs, Layman N. Miller, BBN, 198I, Table 6-7). Note that one assumption made here is that all windows are operable but close{ and that they cover no more than l0-20o/o of the exterior wail area- It can be see,n that aii of the cclcuiateci interior noise ieveis, using standard construcrion merhods, achieve the HtiD interior noise goal of being at or below 45 dB(A). It was assurned that sandard exterior wall construction consists of a 4" exterior wall with %" drick g)?sum wallboard on the inside, %" thick plyrood on the outside, and acousticaliy absorbent material (i.e. fiberglass) loosely filling the cavity. Stmdard windows were assumed to be double paned with a 0.2" airgap. Additionally, because these multi-family structures have exterior doors opening directly to the outside, all doors facing I-70 were assumed to be solid core wood (or acoustically 5imil21661grial) tlnt is 2" thick (or a density of 8 lb/ff) and well gaskaed.

The analysis was conducted for the front fagade of each proposed structure facing I-70. The standard exterior wall construction consists of a 4" exterior wall with 72" thick gypsum wallboad on the inside, %" thick plyrood on the outside, and acoustically absorbent material (i.e. fiberglass) ioosely filling the cavity. Standard windows consist of double paned windows with a0.2" ar gap. Standed doors, for those exterior doon facing I-70, consist of a soiid core wood (or acoustically similar marerial) door thar is 2" thick (or a density of 8 lb/ff) and is well gasketed. Though this site is nosier than the average residential neigbborhood due to its proximity to I-70, a reasonable interior noise lwel is achievable. Meeting the HUD requirernent would resuit in an interior space that is livable from a noise standpoint, but the highway wouid be audible. it should be noted that this analysis was conducted using peak-hour (loudest-hour) traffic conditions, which typically only occur for a total of about tro or three hours per day.

The purpose of this letter is to present our general conclusions regarding the preliminary geotechnical investigation and geologic hazards. We anticipate that the subsurface conditions throughout the developnrent will consist of granular alluvial soils. These soils should safely support spread footing foundations and slab-on-grade floors for the proposed structures. Excavation ofthese soils will require heavy-duty construction equiprnent. It is our opinion, that development of this site will require typical mountain construction techniques. Based on current and previous geologic hazard studies, the subject site is within a rock fall hazard and a debris flow hazard. Fortunately, both of these geologic hazards can be successfully nitigated.

The approximate site location is shown on the vicinity Map, Fig. l. The purpose ofthe investigation was to evaluate the subsurface conditions at the site and to provide preliminary geotechnical recommendations for the proposed development. This report includes descriptions of anticipated subsurface soil and ground water conditions based on adjacent properties and our experience with similar projects, the geotechaical conditions influencing the proposed development and recommendations for development of the site. This report presents anticipated subsurface conditions for the proposed development. Site specifc geotechnical investigations shottld be performedfor individual building sites and pavement subgrade, as recommend,ed in tlzis report. A summary of our investigation findings and conclusions is presented in the following section. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY l. Based on adjacent properties and our site reconnaissance, we anticipate that the subsurface conditions will consist of either topsoil or existing fill underlain by alluvial soils, The alluvial soils should be characterized by medium dense to dense, sand and gravel with cobbles and boulders. we anticipate that the existing fill will be characterized by a loose to medium dense, saud and gravel with cobbles. aAugust 23, 200 | Job No. 0l- 136 KOECHLE]N CONSULTING ENG]NEERS, INC.

Because Middle creek appears to have been rechannel€d to its current location, it is possible that ground water could be encountered in isolated underground channels throughout the proposed development. Refer to the GROUND WATER section of this report for additional details. Two buildings with associated arnenities and utilities are currently located on the subject site. All existing foundations, slabs-on-grade, utiiities and associated fill should be removed to expose the natural soils prior to construction of the proposed development. Based on our site reconnaissance, we anticipate that existing fill will be encountered during construction of the subject project. we believe that the existing fiIl will be characterized by sand and gravel with cobbles and boulders. In our opinion, the existing fill, free of deleterious material, may be used as structural fill for the development of the project. In our opinion, the proposed buildings within the development may be supported by spread footing foundation systems bearing on the natur.al sand and gravel soils. However, because these soils are alluvial soils, differential settlements are possible. Refer to the FoLTNDATION section of this report for more infonnation. In our opinion, the natural sand and gravel anticipated throughout the development will support slab-on-grade floors. Refer to the FLOORS section of this report for more information. cuts up to l0 feet in height may be necessary along the access road to the proposed parking structure. Large cut slopes, greater than 10 feet, will need to be evaluated by a Professional Geotechnical Engineer. Refer to the EXCAVATION section of this report for additional cut slope recommendations. 8. Retaining walls and fills may need to be constructed along the proposed southem parking lots. Refer to the sITE woRK section of this report for additional details. 9. utilities will be installed for the proposed development. Because cobbles and boulders ale anticipated throughout the development, it is our opinion that heavy-duty excavation equipment will be required to complete excavations within the proposed development- 7. August 23, 200 | Job No.0l-136 10, we anticipate that paved roads are to be constructed for the proposed development. The paved roads may incrude both rigid and flexibre pavements. Preliminary pavement recommendations based on anticipated' subsurface conditions are presented in the PAVEMENT DESIGN ,r"tion ofthis report. SITE COND]TIONS The proposed development is to be located on 6.5 acres in the Mountain Bell Site in Vail, Colorado. The site is bordered by the North Frontage Road West to the south and partiaily by Mountain Bell Road to the north. The Mountain Bell Tower borders the site to the west while open space will border the site to the east. The subject site is shown on the Site Plan, Fig. 2. Two existing buildings with associated arnenities and utilities are located on the subject site. The buildings are single-story buildings and are of wood frame construction. Because of the previous development on the site, existing fill was observed throughout the proposed development in the area of the existing buildings. Existing fill was not observed in the area south of Mountain Bell Road. The topography of the site consists of moderate slopes of 5 to l0 percent to steep slopes of 15 to 20 percent. The overall drainage of the site is generally to the south. Vegetation on the site consists ofgrasses, bushes, trees and aspen trees. * o " rr r"F* *, aLrr N G E NG r NE E RS, r N c.

A preliminary site plan for the proposed deveropment was provided by the Architect prior to our investigation. The preliminary development plan is shown on the site Plan, Fig. 2. we understand that the proposed development may consist of townhouse type, multi-family, commercial buildings with associated access drives and parking lots. The buildings will be constructed south and southeast of Mountain Bell Road' Parking areas for the proposed buildings will be constructed to the south of the buildings and to the.north of the proposed buildings. we understand that the parking area constructed to the north of the buildings may consist of a two-level parking structure with the top level being at grade. we understand that the multi-family buildings will vary from 2 to 4 stories in height and will be stepped to match the existing ground surface. By stepping the proposed structures with the existing ground surface, we anticipate that maximum excavations of only 10 feet in depth may be required. we anticipate that pennanent cuts and fills will be required for construction of the proposed development. Maximum wall loads were assumed to be those normally associated with multi-family cornmercial construction.

Co ns ul ting Geotechnical Englneers GEOLOGIC HAZARD STUDIES A cune.nt geologic hazard study was performed for the proposed deveropment in order to identify any geologic hazard. that may exist on the subject site. The Geologic Hazard,study was prepared in August of 2001 by R. J, Irish Engineering Geologist and is presented in Appendix A. In addition to the geologichazard study prepared by R. J. Irish, previous geologic hazard studies for the area have been prepared. Three previously prepared geologic hazard studies or summaries are presented in Appendix B. INVESTIGATION Because of the existing buildings, shrubs and trees on the subject site, access to the site with excavation or drilling equipment is extremely difficult. In order to obtain access to the site, an access road must be constructed through the proposed development. Because of the inaccessibility of the site, exploratory test pits or borings were unable to be excavated or drilled on the subject site. In order to obtain a general idea of the subsurface conditions throughout the subject site, an engineer from our office reconnoitered the site on August 14, 2001. The engineer observed the subsurfac conditions exposed within cut slopes throughout the proposed development and observed the soils on the exposed ground surface. The subsurface conditions observed during our field reconnaissance were compared to subsurface conditions encountered during our o August 23, 2001 Job No. 0l-136 KOE CH LEI N CONS ULTIN G E N G I NEE RS, IN C.

The anticipated subsurface conditions presented in this report are based on our site reconnaissance, information from nearby soil investigations and our experience with similar Iocations within the Vail area. Wen access to the site lws been coinstructed, we recomnlend that a site speci,fic investigation be perfornred. l(e recommend that site speciJic geotechnical investigations be performed for each bttilding at the tinte the btrildings are being designed. In acldition, we recontmend that a fnal subgrade and peventent investigation be perfornted for the proposed access roacls and parking areas. Ifrequested, we can perform the additional investigations SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS Based on our experience with nearby projects and ow site reconnaissance, we anticiPate that the subsurface conditions will consist of either topsoil or existing fiil underlain by alluvial soils. The alluvial soils should be characterized by medium dense to dense, sand and gravel with cobbles and boulders. We anticipate that the existing fill will be characterized by a loose to rnedium dense, sand and gravel with cobbles. CROUND WATER Because Middle Creek appears to have been rechanneled to its current location, it is possible that ground water could be encountered in isolated underground channels throughout the proposed development. However, ground water encountered during the Augusi 23, 2001 Job No. 0l-136 I@ECHLE I N CONS U LT]NG EN GI NEERS, INC Co n s ul ting G e o teclrn ical E n gin eers development ofthe project can generally be controlled by using standard excavation and trenching techniques. Therefore, we do not anticipate that ground water wiil adversely affect the proposed development. CONDITIONS INFLUENCING PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT Construction of the development will require excavation of the near surface soils. we anticipate that these soils will consist of the medium dense to dense, sand and gravel with cobbles and boulders. Because cobbles and boulders are anticipated, it is our opinion that heavy duty .construction equipment will be required to complete the necessary excavations. Due to inaccessibility of the site at this time, exploratory test pits or borings were not excavated or drilled in the proposed development. The anticipated subsurface conditions presented in this report are based on our site reconnaissance, information from nearby soil investigations and our experience with similar locations within the Vail area. ll/hen access to the site has been constntcted, we recommend that a site speci/ic investigatiott be performed. lYe reconrmend that site specifc geotecltnical investigations be performedfor each building at tl're time the buildings are being designecl. 1t addition, we recommend that a final subgrade and pavement investigation be performed for the praposed access roads and parking areas. lf requested, we can perform the additional investigations KOE CH LE I N CONS ULTING E NG INE E RS, IN C. Co ns u I t i ttg G e otec h i ica! E n gin c ers FOTINDATIONS We anticipate that the materials at potential foundation elevations will consist of either existing fill or sand and gravel with cobbles and bouiders. In our opinion, the existing fill will not safely support foundations for structures within the proposed development. Therefore, all existing foundations and associated fill must be removed from the proposed development prior to construction. We believe that the anticipated sand and gravel will safely support spread footings for the propoged buildings within the development. However, because the anticipated natural soils are alluvial soils it is possible that loose, silty sand pockets or layers could be encountered beneath the proposed development. Foundations constructed on these types of soils can experience large differential settlements, provided that no loose sand pockets or layers are encountered beneath the proposed foundations, it is our opinion that the anticipated sand and gravel wiil safely support spread footings for the proposed buildings within the development. We anticipate that spread footing foundation systems for the buildings within the proposed development may be designed with a maximum allowable bearing pressure varying fi'om 2,500 psf to 6,000 psf. The allowable bearing Pressure will depend on the amount of cobbles and boulders within the building envelope. The maximum allowable bearing pressure can be better defined during the site specific investigations.

In our opinion, the existing fill or topsoil will not safely support slab-on-grade floors. However, the natural sand and gavel will safely support slab_on_ grade floors with a low risk of movement. The presence of loose, silty sand pockets or Iayers will have less of an impact on slab-on-grade floors. However, if these pockets or layers are encountered, they should be removed and replaced with properly moisture conditioned and compacted filI. UTILITY CONSTRUCTION Construction of utilities below grade will require the excavation of the near surface soils. We anticipate these soils will consist of ropsoil or existing fill underlain by sand and gravel with cobbles and boulders. Because cobbles and boulders are anticipated, it is our opinion that heavy-duty construction equipment will be required to complete the necessary excavations for utilities. Sand and gravel soils without ground water classify as Type B soils in accordance with OSHA regulations. OSI{A regulations should be followed in anv excavation.

Con s u lting G e otec h nical E ngine ers SITE WORK General construction of buildings and access roads may require cuts and fills to obtain the desired grades. Any cut or fill slopes greater than 10 feet in height should be evaluated by a Professional Geotechnical Engineer. Retaining wall sysrems may be required in some areas to reduce the extent of cuts and fills. We anticipate that on-site sand and gravel may be used in fill areas. proper moisture treating of the natural soils will be required prior to or during placement and compaction of fill. surface drainage should be carefully evaluated during design and construction of the proposed development. Slopes around retaining walls and buildings should be graded so that positive drainage is maintained away from these structures.

In general, slopes of 2: I (horizontal to vertical) up to l0 feet in height should be stable on the subject site, if properly drained. surface drainage should be carefuily designed to divert surface water away from the slopes.

Fill may consist of anticipated on-site sand and gravel free of deleterious materials or an approved imported granular fill. No cobbles or boulders larger than 12 inches should be placed in fill areas. Fill areas should be srripped of all vegetation, topsoil, existing foundations and existing fill. The resulting surface should be scarified and properly moisture conditioned and compacted. Fill should be placed in thin loose lifts, moisture conditioned to within 2 percent of optimum moisture content and compacted. The degree of compaction will vary depending on the use of the fill. Retaining Walls Retaining walls may be needed to reduce the magnitude of cuts or fills for development of this site. The types of walls that are possible on this site are conventionai concrete retaining walls, MSE (mechanically stabilized earth) walls, timber crib walls and boulder retaining walls.

SITE DRAINAGE Surface drainage should be carefully evaluated during design and construction of the development. overall drainage of the site is generaily down to the south. Construction areas should be carefully sloped to reduce the possibility of infiltration of surface water into the cut and fill slopes. In addition, slopes around retaining walls and buildings should be graded so that positive drainage is maintained away from these structures at all times. The surface drainage of the development should be evaluated prior to establishing final grades. PRELIMINARY PAVEMENT DESIGN It is anticipated that the roads and parking areas within the development will be paved' Based on the subsurface conditions, it is our opinion that flexible asphalt and rigid concrete pavements are possible. It has been generally found that concrete Pavements tend to perform better than an asphalt and base course pavement. The initial t2 August 23, 2001 Job No. 0l- 136 xoe cuul}o us ulrr NG ENG rNE Ens, rNc. Co ns ultittg G eo tec h nical E ngin e ers costs are generally.higher for concrete pavements, however, the long term maintenance costs are less. We anticipate that both flexible pavement and rigid pavement could be used at this site. we recommend that rigid pavement be used in high traffic areas such as entrances or where heavy vehicles (trash trucks, delivery trucks, etc.) turn or maneuver. Two preliminary pavement sections based on high volume traffic and low volume traffic are presented for the flexible pavements. High volume traffic areas are considered to be access roads or fire lanes. Low volume traffic areas are considered to be parking areas. The following sections present design assumptions and preliminary flexible and rigid pavement sections. In order to properly design the required pavement sections, we recommend when fnal stbgrade elevations have been achieved, a final subgrad,e and ' paventent investigation be pedormed. Preliminary Flexible Pavement Fesign The design of the preliminary flexible pavement was based upon an Equivalent Daily Load Application (EDLA), anticipated soil properties and the colorado Department of rransportation pavement design manual. preliminary design calculations were based on assumed engineering soil characteristics. Based visual observations ofthe surface soils and review ofqoil investigations in the area, we anticipate that the subgrade soils will classifu as A-l-b soils, as defined by the l3 August 23, 2001 Job No. 01.13 6 KOECHLEIN CONSULTING ENGINEERS, INC. Consulting Geotechuical Engineers AASHTO classification system. The preliminary pavement designs are based on the subgrade soils having an AASHTO classification of A-l-b. This soil type will generally have a Hveem stabilometer R-value ranging from 50 to 75. The R-value was estimated fi'om the AASHTO classification of the soil. Because the R-value of the natural soil was assumed to be 50 to 75, the use of roadbase will not reduce the pavement thickness. However, roadbase rnay be required to establish a finished grade prior to paving. The EDLA for high volume traffic for residential developments lvas assumed to range from r0 to 20. The EDLA for low voiume traffic was assumed to range from 3 to 5. Two flexible pavement designs, based on the above rnethod, are shown below in Table A. These flexible pavement designs include two full depth asphalt pavements. A preliminary rigid pavernent section was designed using the same values of Table A Summary of Preliminary Flexible Pavement Altematives Traffic Volume Fuil-Depth Asphalt (inches) Parking Areas 3.0" to 4.0" Access Roads 4.0" to 5.0" Note: Because the R-value of the natural soil was assumed to be 50 to 75, the will not reduce the thickness of pavement, However, roadbase may establish a finished grade prior to paving. use of roadbase required to L4 August 23, 2001 Job No.0l-136 xor ut n froxs aLnNG EN Gr NEERS, rN cCottsultiag G e ote ch nica!

Geologic HazardStudy, Middle Creek Village at Vdil Development, Vail, Colorado. Job No. 564 Gentlemen: In response to your call, we have geologically reconnoitered the site in Vail, Colorado, planned for the Middle Creek Village at Vail Development, which is to incorporate affordable, multi-family housing and appurtenant facilities on about 8 acres. This irregularly shaped tract is located in i part of the S1/2 SEl/4 Sec. 6, T. 5. S., R. 80 W., Eagle Coulty, Colorado, north of the north service road immediately west of the Old Vail/lnterstate Highway l-70 exit, and adjacent to an existing Mountain Bell telephone tower (Fig. 1). lt lies at the foot of the northern slope of the west-trending Gore Creek Valley where that slope is breached by a canyon section of ine UidOte Creek Valley. The ground surface across the property slopes generally southward at about 10:1 (horiz. to vert.) from Elev. 8290 feet to Elev. 8220teet. The western two-thirds of the property is forested with aspen and scattered evergreens. Some of the latter are quite large. The eastern third of this tract is covered by sagebrush and other brush types. Our objective has been two-fold: 1.) to generally delineate geologic conditions across the property and immediate vicinity, and to evaluate the probable influences those conditions will haue on the planned construction, with special reference to geologic hazards, such as landslides. debris flows, and rock falls, that could impede the development of the property; and' 2.) conversely, to assess the probable impact of the planned construction on the natural geologic cond-iiions. An ancillary goal has been to suggest me'ans to ameliorate the risk posed by any geologic hazards that may be discovered. During the course of our work we have stereoscopically examined aerial photographs of th_e property a-nd vicinity, and have geologically reconnoitered the site and vicinity (on August 15, 2OCjt). -Our interpretations of geologic conditions across the site and vicinity are illustrated by a geologic map, Figure 1 (attached). We conclude that the tract to be occupied by the Middle Creek Village at Vail Development is subject to debris flows periodically emanating from the valley of Mill Creek, as well as rock falls fiom the lower part of the adjicent sector of the steeply inclined, nodhern slope of the Eagle Creek Valley. We assess the debris flow risk to be high, and the rock fall hazard to be me-dium. The former risk, we believe, could be substantially reduced one or more of several alternative mitigating measures. These could be selected and designed when the final plans for the project ire dlveloped. The latter risk could be reduced materially by hand-dislodging boulders, ittowing them to roll down the hill and onto the floor of the debris fan before buildings are constructed on this site. Consultanl lo DesigneIs, Contractors, Planners R. J. lrish Consulting Engineering Geologist, Inc, Site Geologic Conditions The Gore Creek Valley has been eroded into the interbedded sandstones, siltstones, shales and limestones of the Pennsylvanian-age (about 325 to 286 million years ago) Minturn Formation by both streams and glaciers. Glaciers repeatedly occupied the valley of Gore Creek during the lce Age, which began about 2 million years ago, and terminated only about 8,000 years ago in this part of the Rocky Mountains. The glaciers deposited morainal soils across the lower slopes of the valley and both glacial outwash and morainal soils across the valley floor, aggrading it by as much as 100 feet or more. The upper reach of the Mill Creek Valley was occupied repeatedly by glaciers also, as evidenced my multiple cirques at the head of the Valley, and a U-shaped transverse topographic profile that extends down valley to about the Elev. 9800-foot contour. That contour crosses the floor of the canyon about 2 miles upstream from the junction of that valley with the Gore Creek Valley. The morainal soils generally are an heterogeneous, medium dense to dense, mixture of sands, gravels, cobbles, and scattered boulders in a silt matrix. Mostly the soils are granitic rock debris, but include sandstone, siltstone,-and limestone debris as well. The permeability of this soil typically is low, on the order of 10'" cm./sec., but may include lenses of much more permeable sands and gravels. The soils deposited by glacial meltwaters (the glacial outwash deposits) typically are interbedded, medium dense to dense sands and sandy gravels that commonly are cobbley and bouldery. These typically are quite permeable, on the order of !0'2 cm./sec. to 104' cm. sec. The morainal soils blanketing the toe of the northern slope of the Eagle Valley adjacent to this property are estimated to range from about 5 feet to 20 feet thick. Since the end of the lce Age, fast-moving floods charged with soil and rock debris (essentially mud flows) repeatedly have coursed down the Middle Creek Valley, and have deposited their bed loads out across the floor of the Gore Creek Valley at the confluence of those valleys where the Middle Creek Village at Vail Project is to be sited. Those flows are referred to as debris flows. Moreover, many "normal" floods have carried soil and rock debris out onto the floor of the Eagle Valley at this confluence, as well. In consequence, a debris/alluvial fan has been constructed at the mouth of the Mill Creek Valley. lt is about 2000 feet long along its toe, and about 1200 feet wide from its apex in a canyon section of that valiey to its toe adjacent to Gore Creek. lt is expected to be formed of torrentially interbedded loose to dense, sands, gravels, cobbles and boulders in a silty matrix. The soils, granitic metamorphic rock, sandstone, and siltstone debris, are expected to both overlie and interlense with the morainal, alluvial and glacial outwash soils underlying the floor of the Gore Valley. These fan soils probably range to several tens of feet thick across the center of the fan. The permeability of these debris/alluvial fan soils probabJy ranges widely, due to a widely ranging "iines" content, from an estimated 10'3 cm./sec. to 10'5 cm. sec. The ground water table in these soils probable lies about 15 feet below the ground surface at the southern edge of the property, but probably is much deeper in the head area of the fan. The interbedded, flne grained and fine to coarse grained sandstones, siltstones, shales and microcrystalline to very fine grained limestones of the Minturn Formation crop out sporadically across the foot of the northern slope of the Gore Creek Valley adjacent to, and within the R. J. lrish Consulting Engineering Geologist, Inc. canyon section of Mill Creek Valley. These are relatively weil indurated, strong, hard rocks. Their unconfined compressive strengths, we estimate, range from about 10,000 psi to 15,000 psi for the sandstones and siltstones, 25,000 psi to 30,000 psi for the limestones, and 5,000 psi to 8,000 psi for the shales. The shales are only poorly fissile. These strata are thin to thick bedded, and their near-vertically dipping joints typically are several feet to 10 feet apart. The beds strike north-northwestward and dip about 25o west-southwestward, thus nearly parallel to the contours of the valley slope, rather than out of the slope. These rocks, including the sandstones, have very little, if any, intergranular permeability, but ground water undoubtedly flows along some of the joint olanes. No faults are known to us to disrupt the bedrock strata underlying the project area, but several have been reported in the vicinity. These are believed to be inactive. Assessment of Geologic Hazards Debris flowage is the principal geologic hazard attendant to the Middle Creek Village at Vail site. In fact, this site effectively spans the upper sector (i. e., uphiil sector) of the debris/alluvial fan, thus could be flooded if a debris flow or "normal" flood should leap the banks.of the channel of Middle Creek at the apex of the fan at the mouth of that valley. A debris fan is deposited by multiple debris flows, which are high-energy flows of surface water charged with soil and rock debris. The flow is debouched from a steep-floored ravine onto the floor of a main valley, where its bed load is deposited to form part of a fan-shaped deposit, the debris fan. Typically a debris flow is initiated by localized, high intensity rainfall that quickly washes loose soil and rock from the catchment area of a ravine or canyon. This debris is carried esserltially as a mud slurry. Commonly the debris flows and the companion flood flows abandon the channel occupied by the creek on a debris/alluvial fan, spread out across the fan surface, and even create new channels during some events. These flows, both debris and "normal'flood flows, can seriously damage or destroy buildings and their infrastructure, as well as harm the occupants of those buildings. We assess the risk of debris flows from the Middle Creek Valley to be highr during the lifetime of the project, although we cannot predict their average recurrence time interval'. That recurrence time interval is likely to be quite erratic. Their volumes could range from small to quite large because the drainage area of Middle Creek incorporates about 6 to 7 square miles. The high risk posed by debris flows, as well as by "normal" floods, could be reduced by one or a combination of several mitigating measures. The designs for these could be incorporated in your final development plans. Additionally, debris fan soils tend to be subject to differential settlement when wetted, but the potential impact of this can be moderated by foundation engineering practices well within the state-of-the-geotechnical eng ineering practice. t Our assessment of risk is couched in qualitative, empirically-derived terms (high, medium, and low). The state-of-the-geologic-art does not permit a rational quantitative analysis. 2 An experienced engineering hydrologist should evaluate the risk of "normal" flooding' R. J. lrish Consulting Engineering Geologist, Inc. Large and small boulders of granitic rock and limestone are scattered across the steeply inclined surface of the foot of the valley slope overlooking the easlern half of the project area. Most of these appear to be embedded in the morainal soils that blanket that area, but a few appear to be perched on top of that ground. Both could be dislodged by slopewash erosion, thus could tumble down into the project area. We consider the risk of such an event to be medium during the lifetime of the project. That risk could be reduced substantially, we suggest, by dislodging the exposed boulders by hand, utilizing a steel bar, and allowing them to fall onto the surface of the debris fan down slope before any buildings are constructed on this tract. The area to be serviced extends from the northern side of the fan surface up to a terraced section of the slope about 150 feet in elevation above the fan surface, and from the eastern side of the property to the eastern side of the mouth of the Middle Creek Valley, Boulders perched on, and partly embedded in the morainal soils across the toe of the Eagle Valley slope west of the mouth of the Mill Creek Valley may be dislodged naturally from time to time and roll down the slope, but they should not travel into the western section of the planned development area. Instead, they are likely to be trapped in the channel of the creek, which traverses along the toe of that slope. Any that may skip over that channel, however, should be trapped by the dense brush and aspen west of the Mountain Bell tower, or impeded by the tower buildings. The soils and rock underlying the Eagle Valley slope in the vicinity of the planned development site appear to be relatively stable. We observed no landslides there or ground surface cracks that might presage landsliding. The granular soils of the shallow sloped debris/alluvial fan do not evidence instability or incipient instability. The 40-mile long Gore Fault, a major mountain-bounding structure on the westem side of the Gore Range, lies about 4 miles east of the project site (at its closest approach); the 50-mile long Mosquito Fault lies about 12 miles to the west; and the Z5-mile long Sawatch Fault terminates (at its northern end) about 24 miles south of the site. Some seismologists consider these 3 faults to be potentially activel but most seismologists, nonetheless, considerthe risk of a strong earthquake generated by those faults or any other fault within a hundred miles of the project site to be low to insignificant during the next 1 00 to 200 years. This is not to say that this part of Colorado is seismically quiescent, but the earthquakes generated by the reactivation of faults in this region should have small magnitudes. Earthquake intensities of V to Vl, with peak accelerations of 0.059, we conclude, are unlikely to be exceeded at this site during the life of the proJect. So long as the construction of the planned buildings and appurtenant facilities does not materially change the existing ground conditions of the natural soils and/or bedrock, slope stability should not be impaired. lf cuts or fills in excess of 5 feet high are needed, however, they should be designed by a geotechnical engineer experienced in that work. Ponding of water on the debris/alluvial fan slope, of course, should be avoided because seepage water from a pond could build pore water pressure in the debris fan soils, thus could trigger ground movement. o R. J. lrish Consulting Engineering Geologist, Inc. Otherwise, the construction as planned should not increase the geology-related hazard to other property or structures, or to public buildings, roads, streets, rights-of-way, easements, utilities, or facilities.

INTRODUCTION Odell Architects, PC retained Stewart Environmental Consultants Inc. to perform an Environmental lmpact Assessment of the proposed Middle Creek Village development. The property is located adjacent to the Mountain Bell facility, directly north across Interstate 70 from Vail Village. The proposed project consists of multi-family housing constructed on a 6.5-acre site owned by the Town of Vail. The purpose of the project is to provide affordable housing for people cunently employed in Vail, who are presently living in or near the community. The project owner is coughlin and company, 140 East 19rn Ave., suite 700, Denver, colorado 80203-1035. The site location is depicted on Figures 1 through 3. Photographs of the site are provided as Figure 4. II. PURPOSE The purpose of performing the Environmental lmpact Assessment is to achieve the following objectives: A. Availability of Information: To ensure that complete information on the environmental effects of the proposed project is available to the Town Council, the Planning and ' Environmental Commission, and the general public. B. Environmental Protection A Criterion: To ensure that long-term protection of the environment is a guiding criterion in project planning, and that land use and development decisions, both public and private, take into account the relative merits of possible alternative actions. C. Review and Evaluation Procedure: To provide procedures for local review and evaluation of the environmental effects of proposed projects prior to granting of permits or other authorizations for commencement of devel.opment. D. Avoid Geologic Hazard Areas: To ensure that the buildings are not constructed in geologic hazard areas, by way of illustration, flood plains, avalanche paths, rocpall areas, where such hazard cannot practically be mitigated to the satisfaction of the Planning and Environmental Commission and the Town Council. E. Protect Water Quality: To ensure that the quality of surface water and ground water within the Town of Vail will be protected from adverse impacts and/or degradation due to construction activities.

PROJECT BACKGROUND AND DESCRIPTION Site Concept The initial conceptual design approach for Middle Creek Village housing is meant to reflect a new model of multi family housing in mountain communities. The site parameters and community context were the prime motivators for the layout of the buildings and parking; however, the solution incorporates some planning principles of a more'urban" nature. The buildings are arranged around a pedestrian oriented 'street" which creates an axis running east to west across the site. The "street" rises to the center of the project, following the contours of the site. Entries into individual units as well as project amenities will occur along the path, and it is envisioned to include both hardscape and landscape areas. The pedestrian street will be an active place reminiscent of other village centers in the community. Encouraging the use of alternate transportation, our team proposes to work with the Colorado Department of Transportation and the Town of Vail to create a project specific transit stop, as well as develop pedestrian and bicycle access from the site into town. These are accessible to the residences along a central pedestrian spine that runs down the hill and through a two-story opening in the center building, ending at the proposed transit stop. Given that a large segment of the market for this project will be seasonal employees, our team believes the daily use of the automobile can be minimal. Consequently, the relationship between the car and the building is downplayed in our solution. Separating vehicle parking from the buildings allows the project to create a pedestrian oriented \illage" character and allows the buildings to be sited closer together, thus visually reinforcing this image. This is similar to the exterior pedestrian spaces created by the architecture at areas such as Bridge Street in Vail Village and Lionshead Village. The siting of the parking areas behind the buildings will also help shield views of the lots from the frontage road and from across the valley. The Early Learning Center has been sited to the far eastem edge of the site, but is easily accessible from the residences on the loop road. This configuration provides a nicely separated site for the children's facility. The overall site concept adheres closely to the existing contours of the site. The buildings rise and fall across the length of the site with the terrain, creating an undulating profile that further reinforces the'village" concept. Buildinq Concept Further reinforcing the 'village' concept, the buildings are designed as three separate building types. All the buildings will be one unit deep, creating cross flow ventilation and economy of construction. There are no enclosed walkways or stairtowers, as the site allows the majority of units to be accessed at grade. lnternal floor plans will develop stacked plumbing cores, and the mix of units will be designed to minimize structural offsets and maximize construction simplicity. Each of the six residential buildings includes a one-story element on the end which houses laundry and storage facilities for that building. The building orientation creates maximum Stewaft Environmental Consultants. lnc. Page 2 of 142850-001 Environmental lmpact Report Middle Creek Village Vail. Colorado o southern exposure for every unit. The fact that the buildings are simply one unit deepcreates excellent opportunities for flow-through ventilation. Our proposal will incorporate highly efficient mechanical and electrical designs. We believe on a scale of zero to five our development will achieve a five, or the highest efficiency rating available. Since all units are accessed from grade or a small stair, there are no interior conidors to heat or cool, further enhancing overall energy efiiciency. Please refer to our preliminary LEED evaluation in Section Vl-J for additionjl information on energy and sustainability. The overall character of the building design is meant to reinforce the 'village" concept, w1h varying building types, massin$, and styles creating a cohesive whole. Stylistically, we will incorporate the tradition of Vail Valley architecture while maintaining an economical design. This can be achieved by the judicious use of distinct design elements throughout the project. In a cost sensitive project, forms may be simple, but the sensitive use of massing, scale, and rhythm can create an architecture that is respectful of, and complimentary to, the surrounding architecture of Vail Valley. The exciting architectural design and pedestrian street space will create a of choice for potential employees. IV. SITE DESCRIPTION AND ENVIRONMENTAL INVENTORY Location The subject property is an irregular shaped, approximate 6.5-acre mountainside site; its location is described as'a part of the South lz of the Southeast % of Section 6, Township 5 South, Range 80 west of the 66 PM, Town of Vail, Eagle county, colorado. The property adjoins the existing Mountain Bell property located north of the l-70 North Frontage Road. Zoninq A majority of the subject site is presently zoned 'NAPD' (Natural Area Preservation District), and a small portion of the site where two early learning centers are located is zoned 'G' (General). The proposed project will require rezoning the 6.5-acre site to the designation "H" (Housing). Site Usaqe The property is owned by the Town of Vail. Onsite development includes two small wooden structures presently housing early childhood learning centers. They are located directly east of the offsite Mountain Bell structure. Site development plans call for demolition of the two early childhood learning facility structures with construction of a new learning center at the southeast portion of the site. "The remainder of the site is undeveloped open land except for the existing road and parking area that serves the off-site Mountain Bell facility and the onsiteearly learning facilities. The proposed use of the property was described in Section l, above. Hvdroloqic Gonditions No surface bodies of water are located on the proposed project site. Onsite surface drainage is mainly via sheet flow and is generally southerly, although the western portion of the site likely drains to Middle Creek, located off site just to the west of the entry road. A man-made drainage 2850-001 Environmential I mpact Report Middle Creek Village Vail, Colorado Stewaft Environmental Consultants. lnc. Page 3 of 14 channel adjoins the eastern side of the Mountain Bell structure. Soil and drainage issues are described in reports provided under separate cover by Koechlein Engineering and Peak Land Consultants. lnc. Geologic Conditions A geologic report by RJ lrish, Consulting Engineering Geologist, Inc. is provided under separate cover. Biotic Conditions Ecologically, the property is located in the Montane Tone at elevations of approximately 8,220 to 8,300 feet above mean sea level on a southerly aspect. Regarding plant communities, the site is described as complex as it contains elements of several communities. These include Montane Grasslands and Mixed Mountain Shrubland located on the eastern portion of the mountainside with Aspen stands occurring at the southeastern portion of the site. These communities include representatives of most of the life forms of the plant kingdom including ferns, grasses, forbes, shrubs, and trees. Native and non-native vegetation is present including invasive species of noxious weeds. The western area of the property is mainly Montane Riparian Forest dominated by Narrow-leaf Cottonwoods (Populus angustafolia) and a scattering of Thin-leaf Alder (Alnus incana) and Aspen (Populus tremuloides). Presence of Aspen as well as species of invasive weedy forbes indicate the likelihood of past disturbance such as fire. Climax community species such as Colorado Blue Spruce (Piceapungens) are located off site higher up the Middle Creek drainage, but Blue Spruce and other climax community trees were not observed on site. Wildlife uses the site; large mammals including deer and elk browse on the Serviceberry and Current located in the Mixed Mountain Shrubland Community. Other mammals including Black Bear, Coyote, Fox, Rabbits, Chipmunks, Golden-mantle Ground Squirrels, Pocket Gophers, and other rodent species likely feed and/or inhabit the site. Reptiles, such as species of Garter Snakes also likely inhabit the site. No major wildlife migratory routes appear to be located on site. Although Middle Creek is located off site directly west of the property's westem boundary, the creek is not likely used as a migratory corridor. InterstateTO and development adjoining the south side of l-70 preclude use of the corridor for migratory use. Middle Creek is contained within a culvert from the north side of l-70 to its confluence with Gore Creek south of l-70. No known threatened or endangered species of plants or animals have been identified at the site. However, no onsite surveys for such species are known to have been performed. The Colorado Natural Heritage Program's Conservation Status Handbook (1999) lists the status of various animals, plants, and plant communities found in Eagle County. A copy of the Eagle County list is provided in Appendix A. We recommend having the Colorado Natural Heritage Program perform a GIS'Environmental Review' of the subject site and adjacent area. The review searches known ecological information regarding the status of plants, plant communities, and animals within a specified radius of the subject property. The review will report the status of these communities. Middle Creek, a relatively pristine stream that likely contains Native Cutthroat Trout, traverses the adjacent property to the west of the subject site. The cr€ek flows out of a saddle located to 2850-001 Environmental lmpact Report Middle Creek Village Vail, Colorado Stewart Environmental Consultants, lnc. Page 4 of 14 the north upslope from the site. lt flows southerly down slope, jogs west around the Mountain Bell building, and then flows southerly for approximately 150 feet paralleling the west side of the entry road to Mountain Bell. lt enters a culvert beneath l-70 and the associated frontage roads and flows through the culvert south of l-70 to its discharge point into Gore Creek south of the interstate. Gore Creek flows westerly to its confluence with the Eagle River near Minturn. The existing creek channel may not be the historic creek channel. Stream modification (channelization) appears to have been conducted upstream of the culvert adjacent to the entry road. This 150-foot reach is likely the closest location of the stream to the subject property. The stream bank, as well as its associated vegetation, appears disturbed along this reach. Observed vegetation was mainly upland in nature with both native (Western wheat grass- Agropyron sp.) and non-native species of grasses (brome-Bromus enurmus), as well as invasive noxious weeds (See Figure 4 photographs, page 2). Upstream from this reach and off site from the subject property, a riparian corridor of wetland vegetation adjoins the stream channel. Adjoining the east side of the entry road, adjacent to its 150-foot north/south orientation, is a Narrow-leaf Cottonwood (Populus angustifolia) community. This species is referenced in the U.S. Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service publication, National List of Plant Species That Occur ln Wetlands: lntermauntain (Region 8). lts indicator category is listed as 'Facultative', which is described as "Equally likely to occur in wetlands or nonwetlands (estimated probability 340/o-660/o). The presence of this community may be due to a former location of the stream channel or may be due to high groundwater conditions existing near the stream channel. The Narrow-leaf Cottonwood Community continues to the north (otf site) and south (on site) of the entry road after the road turns east. Figure 4 Photographs, page 2, depicts the entry road along its easUwest orientation with the Narrow-leaf Cottonwood Community adjoining both sides of the road. The presence of this community is an indicator of the potential existence of wetlands; it does not necessarily confirm their presence. Actual wetland existence can only be determined by performing a wetland assessment, which not only considers vegetation type, but also investigates other factors including the presence of hydric soils and wetland hydrology. Montane Environmental Solutions of Vail, Colorado is presently investigating wetland issues at the site. A letter regarding the status of their investigation is provided under separate cover. V. ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS AND RECOMMENDATIONS The proposed Middle Creek Mllage will impact plant and animal communities presently inhabiting the property. Site development including earth moving activities and building/parking lot construction will strip a majority of the existing native and non-native vegetation and displace wildlife from the approximate 6.5-acre site. However, existing vegetation and wildlife are not site specific. Surrounding property to the north, east, and west contain vast square miles of similar plant communities, wildlife habitat, and wildlife species. The loss of these 6.5 acres does not represent a significant impact to the plant and animal communities. Displaced wildlife will find and inhabit nearbv similar habitat. Stewaft Environmental Consultants, lnc. Page 5 of 142850-001 Environmental lmpact Report Middle Creek Village Vail, Colorado Landscaping including grass, shrubs, and trees will cover a minimum of 30% of the developed site. Middle Creek Village will be sensitively integrated into enviionmental surroundings. Birds, insects, and possibly small mammals will utilize the landscaped areas, which will mitigate some habitat loss. The presence of Middle Creek Village will have impacts on use of adjacent property by wildlife- particularly large mammals. Increased human presence and reflected light may influence adjoining habitat use- Adjoining property is private so that residents of the village should not be using adjoining properties. Human/bear interaction is possible. All trash dumpsters will need to be covered and otherwise made bear proof. Lighting designed to reduce reflected light and conform to the Town of Vail building code will be incorporated into the site design. lmpact to Middle Creek from surface runoff will be minimized. Potential impacts include grease/oil runoff from paved parking areas and sand/gravel runoff from winter sanding of roads. The location of accumulated snow piles resulting from plowing will be addressed. The piles will be located such that snowmelt containing grease, oil, silt, sand, and gravel do not impact Middle and Gore Creeks. Any such contaminants discharged to Middle Creek may impair water quality of the creek and potentially impact the fisheries of both Middle and Gore Creeks. Engineered drainage swales, berms, dikes, etc. will be incorporated into the project design to prevent impact to Middle Creek. Construction will be in accordance with all applicable local, state, and federal regulations and standards. lf dewatering is required during construction, water will be retained on site. As previously referenced, drainage issues are addressed in a report under separate cover. Montane Environmental Solutions is performing a wetland assessment. As previously referenced, a potential exists for the existence of jurisdictional wetlands in the vicinity of the Narrow-leaf Cottonwood Forest located adjacent to the existing access road. The presence of this community is an indicator of the potential existence of wetlands; it does not necessarily confirm their presence. We recommend performing a wetland assessment conforming to US Army Corps of Engineers (The Corps) guidelines. lf on-site wetlands are identified, several alternatives are available. These include: 1) establishing development setbacks from the wetlands 2) wetlands can be taken through the 404 Permitting process and replacement performed to mitigate the loss or 3) if the wetlands are below minimum surface areas established by the Corps,, they may be removed and built upon. lf on-site jurisdictional wetlands are identified, The Corps is the agency regulating such matters. A parking facility is proposed at a location just east of the Mountain Bell structure. Middle Creek lies north and west of this area. lmpacts to the riparian corridor and wildlife using the corridor adjacent to Middle Creek will to be minimized. This can be accomplished by constructing the parking area as far as possible from Middle Creek. Drainage issues as previously referenced are also a concern in this area of the site. Engineered drainage swales, berms, dikes, etc. will be incorporated into the project design to prevent impact to Middle Creek. Stewart Environmental Consultants. lnc.

The Town of Vailowns the land. lt is proposed that the Town of Vail will lease the site to the developer for a S$year period at which time the property will revert to the Town. Two displacements will result from implementation of the proposed project. The ABC and the Learning Tree early childhood learning centers will be displaced. The existing buildings will be demolished, and new facilities will be constructed at the southeastern portion of the site. State regulations require a full National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) asbestos.inspection of the buildings prior to demolition. lf the inspection identifies asbestos-containing materials, regulations require their removal prior to demolition of the buildings. No minority communities, households, or minority-owned businesses are located on site, and therefore, will not be impacted by any potential negative environmental concerns such as noise, air, or water pollution; or from the construction of the facility. B. Land Use and Zoninq The impact is "Generally Not Significant'. A majority of the subject site is presently zoned 'NAPD" (Natural Area Preservation District), and a small portion of the site where two early learning centers are located is zoned G. The proposed project will require rezoning to the designation 'H" (Housing). C. Visual Conditions Parking areas will be located behind housing thereby shielding it from view from the Town of Vail. Overall project form and massing is in character with existing Vail Village. The height, mass, and materials that will be used in the proposed Middle Creek Mllage will convey a sense of permanence and contextual and regional appropriateness. D. Air Qualitv The impact is "Generally Not Significant". The project will conform to all applicable local, state, and federal air quality regulations and standards, including, but not limited to those regulating odor, dust, fumes of gases, which are noxious, toxic, or corrosive, and suspended solid or liquid particles. 2850-001 Stewad Environmental Consuftants, lnc. Environmental lmpact Report Middle Creek Village Vail. Colorado Page 7 of 14 Fireplaces willnot be installed in the developmentthereby eliminating wood smoke. There will be no balconies or decks that would provide space for grills or'barbecues. There may be a grill in a public area of the complex. The Middle Creek Village project is designed to discourage vehicle usage and encourage other modes of transportation such as buses, biking, and walking. TDA of Colorado performed a transportation impact analysis regarding the proposed Middle Creek Village. Their report is provided under separate cover. The report indicates that the impact of traffic generated by the proposed project will be "Generally Not Significant". E. Noise The impact is'Generally Not Significant". Stewart Environmental identified no noise-sensitive land uses on adjacent properties. The proposed site is located adjacent to the north side of l-70. The noise from the interstate is far greater than any that would be produced by the development. F. Liqht Pollution The Middle Creek Village development will have minimal light trespass from the residential buildings. G. Floodinq The impact is "Possibly Significant'. Peak Land Consultants, Inc. addresses flooding issues in a report provided under separate cover. H. Naviqable Watenrvavs and Coastal Zones The impact is'Generally Not Significant". The proposed site is not located near or affected by a navigable waterway or a coastal zone. l. Traffic and Parkins The impact is "Generally Not Significant'. TDA of Colorado performed a traffic study. Their report is provided under separate cover. J. Energv Requirements and Potential for Conservation The impact is'Generally Not Significant". The proposed project is expected to result in energy conservation. The Vail Affordable Housing Project, Vail, Colorado incorporates principles of sustainable design and utilizes design strategies to reduce its energy and environmental impact. The U.S. Green Building Council's 2850-001 Stewai Environmental Consultants, lnc. Environmental lmpact Report Middle Creek Village Vail. Colorado Page I of 14 Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) rating system is here used as a preliminary sustainable design measure of the project. As it is cunently written, LEED version 2.0 is a system designed to rate new and existing commercial, institutional, and high-rise residential buildings. lt specifically rates low-rise residential projects. The USGBC is currently developing a residential version of the LEED rating system. Nevertheless, the sustainable design principles embodied in LEED v. 2.0 serves as useful goals, guidelines, and measure for sustainable features of the Vail Affordable Housing Project. The LEED rating system consists of seven prerequisite criteria and 32 user-selected criteria organized into five categoiies: . Sustainable Site Development. Water Efficiency. Energy and Atmosphere. Materials and Resources. Indoor Environmental Quality LEED is a voluntary, consensus-based, market-driven building rating system based on available proven technology that evaluates environmental performance from a 'whole building' perspective over a building's life cycle. The following preliminary LEED analysis incorporates input from the design team to more accurately evaluate the conceptual design of the Vail Affordable Housing Project. K. Construction The impact is "Generally Not Significant'. Construction of the Middle Creek Village is anticipated to commence in March 2002 andwill last for approximately 18 months, therefore any construction impacts will be temporary and of short duration. All construction staging will be located on site and construction activities predominantly will be confined to this site. Contractors will be required to obtain the necessary permits and comply with all relevant town, state and federal regulations regarding construction and safety. Potential construetion impacts are described below. Noise No noise-sensitive land uses are located on adjacent property. Construction hours and noise levels will comply with the Town of Vail policies. Disruption of Utilities It is anticipated that there will be no disruption of utilities, and therefore no significant impact with this activity. Construction of all utilities to serve the site will be contained within the proposed site. Disposal of Debris and Spoil Stewaft Envircnmental Consultants, lnc. Page 9 of 142850-001 Environmental lmpact Report Middle Creek Village Vail. Colorado Demolition of two buildings is required as previously referenced. All construction debris will be disposed at an approved landfill and transported on designated truck routes. The general contractor will be responsible for on-site cleanup and disposal of debris. Soil fill may be required to elevate buildings above the 100-year flood plain. Disposal of soil is not required. Water Qualitv and Runoff Project construction will not impact existing water quality. The general contractor will comply with water quality requirements for site construction to meet state water quality regulations. Best Management Practices (BMPs) will be implemented during' construction including the use.of erosion control measures. Access and Disruption of Traffic City streets will not have any significant impact since the site is located directly off the l- 70 North Frontage Road. Any frontage road diversions will be addressed with a detour plan. Air Qualitv and Dust Control Standard construction practices and BMPs will be used to control and minimize onsite dust and emissions. Safetv and Securitv Standard construction safety measures will be observed on site. Town of Vail police will ensure security. Disruption of Businesses No businesses are located in the immediate vicinity of the project area. L. Aesthetics The impact is "Generally Not Significant'. The height, mass, and materials that will be used in the proposed Middle Creek Village will convey a sense of permanence and contextual and regional appropriateness. In addition, the facility design will promote an orderly circulation and efficient integration of buses, other vehicles, and pedestrians. M. Communitv Disruption The impact is "Generally Not Significant". No businesses or residential sectors will be disrupted or displaced, and no segments of the community will be isolated as a result of this proposed project. Stewad Environmental Consultants. lnc. Paoe 10 of 142850-001 Environmental lmpact Report Middle Creek Village Vail, Colorado N. Secondarv Development The impact is "Generally Not Significant'. The proposed project will not generate secondary development. The project is an outcome of the community's determination to provide affordable housing for people already employed in Vail and are presently living in or near the community. The proposed housing project indirectly addresses the cause of traffic-related problems. O.

SUMMARY Odell Architects, PC retained Stewart Environmental to perform-an Environmental lmpact Assessment of the proposed Middle Creek Village development located in Vail, Colorado. Based on the findings contained in this report, the following conclusions have been drawn and ooinions and recommendations made: Stewad Environmental Consultants. lnc. Page 11 of 142850-001 Environmental lmpact Report Middle Creek Village Vail. Colorado' Findinqs. Conclusions, Opinions and Recommendations 1. The proposed Middle Creek Village development is located adjacent to the Mountain Bell facility, directly north across Interstate 70 from Vail Village. The proposed project consists of multi-family housing constructed on a 6.5-acre site owned by the Town of Vail. The project will not promote secondary development. The purpose of the project is to provide affordable housing for people currently employed in Vail who are presently living in or near the community. The project owner is Coughlin and Company, 140 East 19'Ave., Suite 700. Denver Colorado 80203-1035. 2. A majority of the subject site is presently zoned "NAPD' (Natural Area Preservation District), and a small portion of the site where two early learning centers are located is zoned G. The proposed project will require rezoning to the designation "H" (Housing). 3. Environmental issues regarding the proposed project are addressed in reports provided under separate cover. These include a) geologic hazards - RJ lrish, Consulting Engineering Geologist, Inc., b) drainage issues - Peak Land Consultants, Inc., c) soils - Koechlein Engineering, and d) traffic - TDA of Colorado. 4. Wetland issues were identified and are addressed within this report. Montane Environmental Solutions of vail, Colorado is presently performing an in-depth investigation of the wetland issues. A letter regarding the status of their investigation is provided under separate cover. 5. Wildlife uses the site; large mammals including deer and elk browse on the Serviceberry and Current located in the Mixed Mountain Shrubland Community. Other mammals including Black Bear, Coyote, Fox, Rabbits, Chipmunks, Golden-mantle Ground Squirrels, Pocket Gophers, and other rodent species likely feed and/or inhabit the site. Reptiles, such as species of Garter Snakes also likely inhabit the site. No major wildlife migratory routes appear to be located on site. Although Middle Creek is located off site directly west of the property's western boundary, the creek is not likely used as a migratory corridor. InterstateT0 and development adjoining the south side of l-70 preclude use of the corridor for migratory use. Middle Creek is contained within a culvert from the north side of l-70 to its confluence with Gore Creek south of l-70. 6. No known threatened or endangered species of plants or animals have been identified at the site. However, no on-site surveys for such species are known to have been performed. The Colorado Natural Heritage Program's Conservation Status Handbook (7999) lists the status of various animals, plants and plant communities found in Eagle County. A copy of the Eagle County list is provided in Appendix A. We recommend having the Colorado Natural Heritage Program perform a GIS "Environmental Review' of the subject site and adjacent area. The review searches known ecological information regarding the status of plants, plant communities and animals within a specified radius of the subject property. The review will report the status of these communities. 7. The proposed Middle Creek Village will impact plant and animal communities inhabiting the property. Site development including earth moving activities and building/parking lot 2850-001 Environmental lmpact Report Middle Creek Village Vail. Colorado Page 12 ot 14 StewarT Environmental Consultants, I nc. construction will strip a majority of the existing native and non-native vegetation, including noxious weeds, and displace wildlife from the approximate 6.5-acre site. However, existing vegetation and wildlife are not site specific. Sunounding property to the north, east and west contain vast square miles of similar plant communities, wildlife habitat and wildlife species. The loss of these 6.5 acres does not represent a significant impact to the plant and animal communities. Displaced wildlife will find and inhabit nearby similar habita 8. The presence of Middle Creek Village will have impacts on use of adjacent property by wildlife, particularly large mammals. Increased human presence and reflected light may influence adjoining habitat use. Adjoining property is private so that residents of the Village should not be using adjoining properties. Human/bear interaction is possible. All trash dumpsters will need to be covered and otherwise made bear proof. Lighting designed to reduce reflected light and conform to the Town of Vail building code will be incorporated into the site design. 9. lmpact to Middle Creek from surface runoff will be minimized. Potential impacts include grease/oil runoff from paved parking areas and sand/gravel runoff from winter sanding of roads. The location of accumulated snow piles resulting from plowing will be addressed. The piles will be located such that snowmelt containing grease, oil, silt, sand, and gravel do not impact Middle and Gore Creeks. Any such contaminants discharged to Middle Creek may impair water quality of the creek and potentially impact the fisheries of both Middle and Gore Creeks. Engineered drainage swales, berms, dikes, etc. will be incorporated into the project design to prevent impact to Middle Creek. Construction will be in accordance with all applicable local, state, and federal regulations and standards. lf dewatering is required during construction, water will be retained on site. 10.A parking facility is proposed at a location just east of the Mountain Bell structure. Middle Creek lies north and west of this area. lmpacts to the riparian corridor and wiblife using the corridor adjacent to Middle Creek will to be minimized. This can be accomplished by constructing the parking area as far as possible from Middle Creek. Drainage issues as previously referenced are also a concern in this area of the site. Engineered drainage swales, berms, dikes, etc. will be incorporated into the project design to prevent impact to Middle Creek. 11. Two displacements will result from implementation of the proposed project. The ABC and the Learning Tree early childhood leaming centers will be displaced. The existing buildings will be demolished and new facilities will be constructed at the southeastem portion of the site. State regulations require a full National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) asbestos inspection of the buildings prior to demolition. lf the inspection identifies asbestos-containing materials, mitigation (abatemenUremoval) per regulations will be performed prior to demolition of the buildings.

Full Size (includes I ADA) Compact Total t7 J 8s% t5% r00% Assignment of Spaces All tandem spaces and all covered spaces will be specifically assigned to individual residents/units and will be monitored. Since the project intends to charge for covered spaces (whereas surface spaces will be free of charge), Middle Creek management will monitor the use of all covered spaces. Furthermore, tandem compact spaces will be assigrred to units that have cars that fit in compact spaces, and covered compact single-car spaces will be assigned to compact cars. Since there are very few tandem compact spaces (only 13 apartment units out of the 142 total apartment units will use tandem compact spaces), issues related to monitoring and managing these should be minimal. Childhood Education Center Parking The Town of Vail does not have a specific parking requirement for Day Care Centers, and we have been asked by Town Staffto review the requirements of other municipalities (see separate memo from Odell Architects.) The standard requirement for a Day Care center of this size, based on the requirements of Boulder, Lakewood, and Denver, would be 18 spaces. The Middle Creek Development Plan provides for 20 spaces, of which oriy l5Vo are compact. Furthermore, there are additional "housing" spaces immediately adjacent to the 20 dedicated spaces for the CEC, which are available for the short term pick-up and drop offparking needs of the CEC. Since some or many of the residents of the housing project will use the cars during the day to get to their places of employment, Middle Creek anticipates that there will be many additional spaces available to CEC paxents during the mid-aftemoon pick-up rush hour. 20 A ODELL ARCHITECTS. P C Date: Froln: Re: To: March 4, 2002 Bridget Venne, Odell Architects, P.C. Middle Creek Early Leaming Center-Parking Comparisons Allison Ochs Allisorl As per your request, I have looked through the zoning codes of other jurisdictions to determine ifthey have specific childcare or preschool parking requirements. I found these requirements for the cities ofBoulder, Denver and lakewood as follows. City of Boulder (Code Web Site: www.ci.boulder.co.us/caolbrc/title9.htnl) I determined that the closesi Boulder zone district to the Town of Vail H Zone district is IZ-E, High Density Housing in an existing district (Chapter 2, Section 9-2-1). A large daycare center with more than 50 children is an acceptable use, pending review (Chapter 3.1, Section 9- 3.1-l). The number of parking spaces for any approved use other than housing in the HZ-E zone district is 1 space for every 300 s.f of building (Cbapter 3.2, Section 9-3.2-1). The current Early Leaming Center plan is approximately 5,400 s.f. / 300 s.f. = 18 parking spaces total. City of Denver (Code Web Site: http://fws.municode.corn/CGl- BIN/om isaoi.dll?infobase= I 0257.NFO&softnaee=mccdoc The closest zone district here is R4 or R4-X (I will use R4-X because the parking requirements are more stringent), in which multi-family housing and childcare centerc are permitted (Chapter 59, Article III, Section 59-215). The required parking fora non-residential use is also I space per every 300 s.f. ofbuilding, also equaling l8 (Chapter 59, Article III, Section 59- 519). There is also a special class (class seven) for school parking requirements. For a school which is not an elementary, middle or high school, the required area of parking must be equal to % the building area, approximately equal to 5300s.f./2= 2,700 s.f. The current area of parking fust parking spaces, not including drive lane or turnaround) is approximately 2,900 s.f(Chapter 59, Article V, Section 59-586). City of Lakewood (We have this in our library, but the Web site is www.ci. lakewood.co.us/cdbg/zoning.htm.) The closest zone district is 5-R, higher density zoning disuict, including aparhents at a density of less than 25 units per acre. Child care facilities are a permifted use. The parking requirement for a child care facility is 3 spaces per every 1,000 s.f. plus one space per facility vehicle (bus or van owned by the school itself). This also equals 6 x 3 = 18 parking spaces total, exclusive of facility vehicles (I don't believe the ABCllearning Tree currently has facility ao clcparking memo 3-4 vehicles, but we can provide one space for future use), (All ofthis information was found in the Iakewood Zoning Ordinance, Section 17-5-13, pages 5-34 and 5-37). The cunent number of parking spaces we are providitrg at the Early Leaming Ceoter is 2O which meets or is itr excess of all of these requirements.

D' To: From: Ftx-MrmonaNDUM Otis Odell, Otis Odell Architects David Leahy, TDA Fax:. 303-670-7162 Date: 314102 Time: 8:47 AM Job #: 4342 Subject: Middle Creek Residential, Traffic # ofPages: 2 This memo is in response to TOV submittal review comments of 2126102 (Tom Kassmel to Allison Ochs) that included several haffic concems and suggestions. Issue #18: TDA applied a i0oi reduction to the ITE (national vehicle trip rate reference) vehicle trip rate in peak periods. Town staff believes a l5 to 2094 rate is more acceptable to them and CDOT, Response: First, we should note that the vehicle trip reduction was applied only to the residential aspect of the development plan. We used ITE rates for the Early Leaming Center even though these are somewhat higher vehicle hips rates than those observed in the December access drive counts. By its nature, virtually all trips to and from this site will be via car. Second, we do not assume residential trip making will be reduced. We believe the number of trips made by car will be notabiy less than typical ITE "Apartment" vehicle trip rates would yield. We don't think resident car ownership will be any different than other employee residential units in the Valley but car use, particularly during commute times, will be quite different than the ITE national reference. Also, we wanted to offer a realistic look at what the scale of non-auto trips Middle Creek could have and how this might impact the Town's alternative (bike/pedestrian/bus) transportation system. Our person lnp assessment of potential Middle Creek trip making is shown below. PM Peak Hour Person Trips by Mode Using ITE's unadjusted trips rate for an apartment-type residence would suggest 86 vehicle trips in the PM peak hour, 60 coming in and 26 vehicles heading out. Assuming an average of 1 . 1 persons per vehicle yields 95 person hips which we round to 100. As stated in orr l/26/02 report, this particular site's setting (on-site bus stop for three North Frontage Road free bus routes, within a l0- to 15-minute walk/bike of Vail and Lionshead Villages) and tenant base (seasonal and year-round local workers) encourages non-auto travel (20% reduction). Long- term employee parking for many establishments in Town is limited and at times costly. This could induce a further 10% reduction in commute auto trips and encourage higher ridesharing, especially for roommates and fellow tenants working for the same employer. Our estimated travel more split for the 30 peak- hour (30%) person hips is: PM Peak-Hour Travel Mode % of Total # Person Trips Town bus l5o/o 15 Extra shared ride 6% 6 Bike 5% 5 Walk 4o/o 4 Total 30% 30 person trips TDAColorodo lnc. CDOT Access Permit Using our suggested travel mode split yields a project peak hour left turn volume entering the site that is close to the level requiring left tum deceleration lane construction on North Frontage Road per CDOT's Access Code. With the addition of Town buses the left-turn threshold will be exceeded. Accordingly, our report recommends left turn lane construction at both the residential and learning center. This is the same result that would have resulted from using the standard ITE vehicle trip generation rate. The access permit application hansmittal letter to CDOT will specify these improvements per the Code. Issue #18: The trffic study should analyze and discuss pedestrian movements through the roundabouls, transit needs and whether another bus will be needed to accommodate added ridership. Response: As shown in our mode split estimate above, we expect four to five walk trips to or from the site in the peak travel hour. Those pedestrians passing through the roundabout would cross the west leg, using the walkway under I-70, sequentially crossing the I-70 EB off ramp terminal, WB South Frontage Road lanes and then the EB lanes. Pedestrians cross roundabout lanes one or two carJengths behind the Yield lines, using the splitter island as a refuge befween crossing decisions. We are not aware of any inherent sight distance or excessive speed conditions at the Main Vail roundabouts that would make this lorv volume of pedestrian crossings a capacity or safety problem. We anticipate about 15 transit trips in the PM peak hour, 10 arriving, 5 departing on a bus. During this period six buses will arrive and then depart the site. At most, we might expect half of the 10 hourly arrivals could be on the same bus. I would imagine most bus trips could accommodate five more passengers even if they are standees. If not, residents would likely adjust their bus trip to avoid skier crowds. I trust this response address the Town's current issues with traffic impact assessrnent of the Middle Creek project.

The lvliddle Creek project consists of 142 affordable apartment units and a contemporary early childhood learning center, replacing the existing center. The mix of studio, I ,-2,- and i - bedroom units is structured to the affordable ( deed restricted) housing market for the Vait Valley mountain resort service sector. Siudio units (64 dwellings) will conrpromise just under haif of the total unit mix. The new childhood leaming will be situated east of the residences and will have separate access and parking. A totat of245 surface parking spaces will be provided for the residential portion of the project and an additional 20 will be part of the learning center site. Residents will have good alternative transportation choices. The site in convenient to three Town free bus lines serving Nonh Frontage and the Town's transportation center in Vail Village. A bus turnout alongside the main entrance will permit on site boarding and alighting. Pedestrian rvalks will connecr with the Town's trail system.

I-70 Interchange Roundabouts The r\Iarn Vail I-70 rnterchange roundabouts were tle fust modem roundabouts constructed ln the state of Colorado. The South Frontage Road roundabout rs the largest ur the state at a 200- foot outside diameter. The North Frontage Road roundabout is the smallest in the Vail Valley at 120-foot diameter. Counts taken at the North Frontage Road leg indrcate PM peak how volumes of 220 entering vehicles and 750 exiting vehicles of which 35 came fiom the I-70 westbound off ramp. The North roundabout finctions effectively as a single circulatrng lane, although vehicles can physically travel two abreast around the crrculatrng lane. Existing Level of Service Level oi service (LOS) is a method used for evaluating roadway traffic operating conditions.

This documenf,rs a compilation of trips rates denved from traffic counts at srneila,r lses throughout the country. Most ITE residential tnp rates are from traffc counts at sububan settrngs with lrnle or no access to public uanst. ResidentialTips The Middle Creek project is located along a high service transit corridor wrth good pedestnan and bike linkages to Vail aad Lionshead Villages. .Lnaajority of tenants are expected to work rn Vail establishments where long-term (i.e. 'worker') on-ute daytime parking supplv will be at a premium for much of the year. We anticipate MiddJe Creek residents will be less inclined to travel locaily by car for work and personal busrness tnps than their "lTE-apartrnent" counterparts. Accordrngly, we expect daily residential vehich tnps writ be in the order of 20% less than the ITE denved rate and peak hour vehicle tnps willbe onequarter to one-thrd less than the ITE rde. Urban centers wrth hrgh all day parkrng costs and good transit access can have transit mode splits of 25 to 40% in the commute penods. We believe Middle Creek residents could readily exhibit a collectrve 30% walk/bus/brke mode split rn the commute penods. With these proJect- specific adjustments we estimate at buildout the residential use will generate 753 daily, 52 AM and 6l PM peak hour vehrcle tnps, see Table 2. Learning Center Tips The early leamrng center will have 15 employee and short-term spaces. Parents typically park for five to 15 m:nutes for the moming drop off and evenrng pickup. Ustng ITE rates for a Day Care Center, the center is expected to generate about 470 tnps per day and about 75 vehicle tnps durrng each peak hour.

Town Bus Trips Although not part ofthe prqect per se, buses entenng and leavurg the residential access drive are added to the prolect peak hour volumes for operational analysis purposes. The three bus routes servrng the site operate at 30-mtnute frequency rn each direction producrng 12 bus trips (6 m, 6 out) per hour.

New residential tnps wrll travel west on the frontage road for food shopping, mail and other local personal business trips. More distant tnps outside the Town will be onented east toward the I-70 interchange. Accordrngly, we distribute 507o of residentral trips to the west and 50% east ofthe srte. Day care rips, which tend to be linked to other trips, are distributed similar to existing artering and exttutg patt€ms. TDA FUTUR.E TRAIT.IC COND ITIONS Future condittons were analyzed assuming project buildout by ?003 An annual background growth of 3% was assumed for the vehicle volume along North Frontage Road not related to the proJect. This accommodates moderate continuurg residentral development along the North Frontage Road traveished. For firture analysls we applied the ITE trip rates to early leamrng center. These are somewhat higher tian the observed peak hour day care volumes and are assumed to accoutrt for added business due to updating the facllrty.

These changes reflect the 35 mph posted speed ofNorth Flontage Road, peak hour voiumes portrayed m Figure 4, and the Category F-R (frontage road) classification of the faciltty Left Tum Lanes At 23 vetucles in the PM peak hour, the residential access is proJected to be near the 25 vehicle per houl Ieft turn threshoid for warrantrng a left tum storage lane per the Code. Thrs volume rncludes 3 westbound Town buses' As a matter of safety, we advrse constnrcting a left tum storage lane at the residential access. The prolected (for operational analysrs) lefttum volume of 26 vehicles for the Leamrng Center access would just exceed this threshold. Accordingly, the left tum lane widenrng for the residentiai/Nta Bell access should extend to &e new Leanmg Center access. The portion between tle two dnves can be stnpped as a two-way left turn lane and thus serve as a left tum staging lane for left tums out of the residential access. This center lane wtll provide a larger, more comfortable effectrve left tum radrus for buses tuming left out of the stte Right Tum Sforage Lanes Nerther access meets the 50-vph threshold required to warrant ngbt tum lanes. A.tthough a nght tum lane would ard Town of Vari busses entenng the property, widenrng for the center tum lane descnbed above precludes addrtional N orth Frontage Road wrdenrng along the properry's steep frontage, RighuLett Tum Acceleration Lanes Rrght or left tum acceleration lanes are not needed per tie Code at thrs pro1ect for either access. The two way left tum lane suggesed above will sewe as a short left tum staglng/acceleration lane for left tums leaving the site. TDA SUMMARY OF FINDINGS A combured total of about 1,220 vehicies per day will use tie two proposed Middle Creek resrdential and new leamrng center development access drives. Residents are rntended to be employed at nearby Town shops, restaurants and business establishments. Daily site-generated traffic is expected to be about 20% less than a simrlar 142-unit apartrnent complex ur a typical suburban settrng. Similarly, the combrratron of daytrme parkmg cost and avaiiabiltty in Vail and Lronshead Villages, proxmity to Vail Village and, frort door access to three of the Town's free bus routes suggests 30% less than rypical srte tnp generation durrng the AM and PNI commute penods. Peak period operation (level of service) ofeach access approach wrll renain in the same short delay range (LOS B) as the exrstirtg day care/I4a Bell access drive. Left tums from North Frontage Road wrll experience little or no delay in most cases. Left tum storage lanes are needed at each access dnve per State Highway Access Code criteria. The new center lane can be stnped as a Two Way Left Tum Lane. As such, the rmprovement will faciirtate left tums (including Town buses) out ofthe residential site, Right tum deceleratron or acceleration lanes are not needed per the Codo. The volume of prqect traffic added to North Frontage Road will not cause a change rn two-lane 35 to 40 mph hrgbway operation.

Response to ToV comments The following are responses to the mmments from Tom Kassmel addressed to Allison Ochs, dated February 26,2002. Comment / - All frontage road improvements will be finalized during the CDOT Access Permit Application stage. cDor requirements will be adhered too, including any guardrail requirements. cornment 2 - Grading has been modified and maximum retaining wall height is 6'. Comment 7 & 8 - Flowlines have been placed in drainage swales behind Buildings C & E for easier swale identification. A stom sewer and concrete pan has been added to the plans to deal with the concentrated flow from the proposed drainage swales. These improvements are identified on the revised grading and drainage plan included with this submittal. Comment 9 - Frontage road improvements including lane transitions will be finalized during the cDor access permit application process. cDor requirements will be adhered to during final design process. comment /0 - Maintenance of the east sand oil separators is proposed to be through standard 'septic/vacuum kucks.' It is proposed that the truck park on the access drive and a hose extended to sand oil haps during periods when sediment removal is required. This should not be a frequent process, therefore disturbance to site circulation should be Irunor. comment 11 - East sand oil separator has been moved out of the pedestrian path to its north side. Storm manholes have been moved out of sidewalks. Comment /5 - The ERWSD has reviewed the domestic water and sewer requirements for the proposed development. They have stated the development can be accommodated with their existing systems. I have attached two letters from the ERwsD regarding this. Fireflow requirements will be analyzed during the fire protection design process. All measures necessary to ensure that required fireflow is available will be provided. comrnent 19 - The upper and lower Fire Turnarounds were designed based upon turning requirements submitted to Peak Civil Engineering from the Town ofVail Fire Deparfinent. I have included the Engine (Tov Engine 4l l) design requirements trat were submitted. Additionally, I have attached sheets showing the tunring movem€nts of the design vehicle. Also included is a sheet showing turning moveme.nts for the east e,nd parking spaces. Please contact me, should you have any questions or need additional information.

CO 81657 Dear Allison: Attached please find the revised Development PIan submittal for Middle Creek Village. Our team has been working diligently over the last several weeks in an attempt to address previous comments that we have received from Town of Vail staff, the Planing and Environmental Commission, and the Design Review Board. We are very proud of the result and think that have a design that incorporates these suggestions and requirements - and is still compatible with an overall budget that provides housing that is affordable to Vail's workforce. This has been an extraordinarily difficult challenge, but we feel that we have anived at a result that hopefully all parties can enthusiastically support. This submittal retains much of the philosophy of earlier submittals that you and the PEC have previously reviewed. A few highlights of the current design are: l) Parking - We have maintained that required 243 parking spaces for the residential portion ofthe project, increased the dedicated parking for the Early Learning Center to 20 spaces, and have added two additional "floater" spaces for a total of 265 parking spaces at Middle Creek. This design reflects a much smaller portion of tandem spaccs than previous submittals (apprcximately 20 ferver tandern spaces) while maintaining almost 600lo covered spaces. 2) 407o Slopes - We do not encroach on40yo slopes anywhere. 3) Exterior Architecture and Roof Lines - We have taken the design a major step forward and are submitting a very articulated design, with much more variety and complexity in the roof forms. 4) Hazarll Mitigation and Traffic Analysis - We have worked closely with Greg Hall throughout the last 45 days and he has had several conversations directly with our consultants. The result is that we have reached conclusions and designs that Greg endorses. 5) Exterior Recreation - We have added exterior recreation and common areas, including a horse shoe pit, flat area for basketball or other outside sports activities, and a BBQipicnic area. @ COUGHLIN & COMPANY INC. Investmerrt Barrkers Since 1932 Furthermore, we are extremely comfortable with site circulation, organization, and retaining. We have endeavored to recess buildings into the natural grades as much as possible in an effort to utilize the buildings for retainage and to compress the overall height ofthe project so that it blends, as much as possible, with the natural slope. We have also worked closely with numerous parties as we have developed this submittal. The Childhood Education Center is the result of meetings and discussions with Mo, Angela, and one of their parents who is an architect in Vail and is serving as a pro bono consultant for the Early Leaming Center. The Vail Local Housing Authority has been a party to two separate presentations as we have developed this revised submission, and we have incorporated changes to the design based on suggestions from their Board. And importantly, we have kept Shaw Construction involved throughout so that the design remains within the parameters of what can be economically supported by the below-market rent structure. We are anxious to respond to any comments or questions that you might have. It is imperative to us that we keep this ball rolling so that we can close on the required financing and take advantage of a relatively attractive construction market. We know that we will need the enthusiastic support of staff in front of PEC to win approval; we have tried hard to win that support through this submission. We will, of course, continue to be available to you as the need dictates. Thanks for your on-going assistance. Sincerelv.

The purpose of ttus snrdy was to compare the calculated overall interior noise levels for the proposed structures to the U.S. Deparment of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) interior noise goal of 45 dB(A). To answer this question, the exisirg noise levels, Interstate 70 (1-'70) traffic vohunes and speeds were measured at four locations on the project site. These levels were then adjusted to make them representative ofpeak-hour faffic voiumes and speeds on I-70. Next, the adjusted noise levels were used to predict exterior noise levels at the fagade of the proposed structures facing I-70. Fiaally, knowtng the exterior noise levels and using standard building materials for exterior walls, windows and doors, the interior noise levels were calculated and compared to the HUD noise goal of a5 dB(A). The following provides the details of each step followed by a summary of the complete analysis. Existing Noise Levels Existing noise levels were measured at the four locations shown as M1 tbrough M4 in Figure 1. These measurements were conducted using a Norsonics Type I 14 Octave Band Sound Level fvleter (Sl-lvl), which meets the A"\SI Type 1 specifications. The SLM was calibrated prior to each of the four measurements and re-checked after each measurement. The measurement locations wete selected to coincide (where possible) with funre building locations. In addition to the noise levels, the trafEc volumes and speeds along I-70 were monitored as well. The purpose of measuring the trafEc volumes and speeds is to allow for adjustnents to the measured noise levels to simulate peak-hour (loudest hour) noise levels. Figure 1 and Table I show the overall measured noise level for each measurement iocation. The measured leveis ranged from 63 to 68 dB(A). The traffic volumes atong I-70 during the measurements ranged from 27o/o to 3io/o lower than peak-hour (loudest hour) volumes provided by CDOT. To compensate for this, the noise levels were increased by 1.2 to 2.0 dB(A), as applicable. C onversely, the average traffic speeds dunng the mea-suements were about 7 mph faser (louder) than peak-hour average traffic speeds per CDOT traffic studies- To compensate for measuring noise ievels during faster traIfic speeds, all the measured noise levels were decreased by 0.5 dB(A). The overall adjustments to the measured noise leveis were increases of 0.7 to 1.5 dB(A). Thus. the existing peak-hour noise levels for these m€asurement locations ranged from about 63 to 69 dB(A). These adjusted levels are shown in Figure I and Table 1. 103 East Simpson Street, Suite 100 . Lafa_veite.

Each proposed structure was assiped a building letter (two of the stmctures are parking garages which were not analyzed). To be conservative, noise levels were calculued for the highest occupied floor ofeach proposed structure, which typically will be the loudest. These levels were calculated by applyrng a distance correction to accoult for the proposed structure being closer or farther away from I-70 than the respective m€asuretnent location. Additionally, an elevation correction was applied to accormt for the reduced sound absorption due to the proposed stmctures being elevated higher than the measurernent location. The predicted exterior noise levels range from 64 to 69 dB(A), as shown in Table 2.

However, HUD guidelines state that this can be applied as a design-hour (peak-hour) criterion as well (Ref: The Noise Guidebooh U.S. Depanment of Housing and (trban Development, I99l, j5 1. 10q. Table 3, below, shows the calculated interior noise levels for each ofthe proposed structues using the standard construction materials described abovg which provide about 26 dB(A) of overall transmission loss (Ref. Noise Control /br Building and Mamtfactunng Plants, Layman N. Miller, BBN, 1981, Table 67). Note that one assumption made here is that all windows are operable but closed" and that they cover no more than l0-20o/o of the exterior waLl area. It can be seen that ali of the calculated interior noise ievels, usrng standard construction meihods. achieve the FfuD intedor noise goal of being at or below 45 dB(A). it was assumed that standard exterior wall construction consists of a 4" exterior wall with %" thrck gypsum wallboard on the inside, '/:" thick plywood on the outside, and acoustically absorbent material (i.e. frbergiass) loosely filling the cavity. Standard windows were assurned to be double paned with a 0.2" airgap. Additionaily, because these multi-family structures have exterior doors opening directly to the outside, all doors facing I-70 were assumed to be solid core wood (or acoustically similar material) that is 2" thick (or a densiv of S lbift') and well easketed.

The analysis was conducted for the front fagade of each proposed structue facing 1-70. The standard exterior wall construction consists of a 4" exterior wall with 7:" thick gyp$m wallboard on the inside, %" thick piywood on the outside, and acoustically absorbent marerial (i.e. fibergJass) looseiy fiiling the cavity. Standard windows consist of double paned wiadows with a 0.2" u gap. Standard doors, for those exterior doors facing I-70, consist of a solid core wood (or acousticaily similar materiai) door thar is 2" thick (or a density of 8 lb/ff) and is well gasketed. Though this site is nosier than the average residential neighborhood due to its proximity to I-70, a reasonable interior noise level is achievable. Meeting the HLID requirernant wouid result in an interior space that is livable from a noise standpoint but the higlway would be audible. It should be noted that this analysis was conducted using peak-hour (loudest-hour) trafEc conditions, which typically only occur for a total of about two or three hours oer dav.

The designated snow storage areas are easily accessible to the plows and typically have Southern exposure. Snow Removal from Site Once snow storage areas have reached capacity, a snow removal company will automatically truck and remove excess snow from the site as a component of the contract for snow removal services. This ensures that on-site snow storage will not exceed the capacity available at the site. Alpine Snow Removal and Trucking has prepared the attached proposal for snow removal based on a the Middle Creek site plan. Alpine Snow Removal and Trucking provides similar service for many Vail properties, including the Vail Valley Medical Center. Alpine Snow Removal and Trucking has developed its pricing plan and scope of services based on its review of the site plan. There are several snow removal companies in the Vail Valley that provide these services and Middle Creek Village, LLC is prepared to execute a contract with one at any time. f r TraIIic Impact Assessment Forthehqosed Middle CreekResidential & Early Learning Center D#ft*9n"ffi' Pleparedfor Odcll Architects, P.C.

North Frontege Road North Frutage Road is a twolane ftontage road within the I-70 right of way. Graded shoulde'rs vary ftom fourto Eight fuet in width. It conests tho Main Vail andWest Vail icerchanges serving lodgings, the Tonm post office and commorcial uses along the north side of the road and roads branching offto slqe+ido home sites. Tho alignment is essentially straight with gradual vertical curves that follow the gmly rolling te'rrain. Posted speed is 35 rryh in the project vicinity. Peak hour trafrc couuts performed recenlly' suggost a traffic volume of aborlt,6,000 vehicles per day passing the site. Vril Rord Vail Rmd connects Vail Villagetothe I-70 inerchange andthe frontage roads sewing each side ofthe inte'rstate highuay. The two-lane road flares to add lanes at the roundabout approaches. South of interchange two-lme Vail Road iatersections with rily'est meadow llrive and Willow Road are Stop+ign comolled. I-7O Interchenge Roundebouts The Main Vail I-70 hterchange roundabouts werethe ftst modem roundabouts c@sfruct€d in tho state of Colorado, Tho South Frontage Road rormdabof is the largest in the state at a 200' fod ornside diamde'r. Tho North Frontage Road roundabou is the smallest in the Vail Valley at 120-foot diameter. Couts take,n d the Nodh Frutagp Road leg indicate PM peak hour volumes of 220 entering vehiclos and 750 oriting vehicles of which 35 came from the I-70 westbound ofr rarry. The North roundabout fimctios effectively as a single circulating lme, although vehicles can physically travel two abreast around ttre circulating lane. Eristing Lwel of Service Icvel of servic€ (LOS) is a mehod used for evalu*ing roadwaytrafrc operating conditions. h is dependd on may factors includingtrafrc volumes, perceut hoavy vehicles, lme and shoulder widths. The level of service is dAermined by calculating the delay orryerienced by each vehicle. This delay is assiped a lefier between A ud F representing the length of delay. At LOS A mdorists will experience litle or no delay. At LOS F mcorists will eryerience stop md go conditions md ercosive delay. Delrv is usod as a me:tsure of comfort, ccavenience and manzuverability of the driver. Delay for the aftsted intersectims was determined using Highway Capacity Sofiware, inplernenting methodology in the Highway Capacity Manual, 1994 updated 1997, Transportation Research Bmrd.

These changes reflect the 35 tryh posted speed of North Frmtage Road" peak hour volumes portrayed in Figure 4, and the Category F-R (frmtage road) classification oftho frcility. Left Tum Lanes At 23 vehicles in the PM peak hour, the residotial access is projected to be near the 25 v&icle per hour left tum threshold for warranting a left tum storage lane per the Code. This volume includes 3 westbound ronnr buses' As a nuter of safety, we advise constructing a lefttum storage lane at the residential access. The projected (for qerati'rnal enalysis) left tum volume of 26 vdicles for the Leaming Center acccs would just orceed tbis threshold. Accordingly, the left tum lane widening for the residentialllvla Bell access should edeNrd to the new Leaning Center access. The portim bertneem the two drives can be sfipped as a two-wey teft turn lane and thus serve as a left tlrrr staging lare for l€& urns out of the residential access. This center lne will provide a large'r, more comforable effective left tum radius for buse turning left out ofthe site. Rigltt Tum Sforagn Lanes Neither access me€ts the 50-vph tbreshold required to wand right tum lanes. Afthough a right tum lme would aid Toum of Vail busses entoring the property, widening for the ceotor tum lane describ€d above precludes additional North Frotage Road widening along the property's steep frmtage. RighilLefr Tum Accolerdion Lanes Right or lefr arm accoleratiqn lanes are not needed per the Code at this project for eitler access.

The following items must be addressed prior to final Planning and Environmental Commission review: 1. No inlormation was submitted regarding the parking thal is located within the parking slruclures. Floor plans (indicating parking space layout) and elevations musl be provided. 2. The building elevalions are not complete. lt is required that all elevations must be submitted. Currently, none of the buildings have elevations for all sides. 3. There are no floor plans submitted for the Early Learning Center and only one elevation of the building. 4. The buildings as drawn on the rool plan do not match the buildings as drawn on the grading plan (e.9. overJapping stairways are shown on the roof plan). 5. With the changes that were made to the site plan, no revised floor plans, writlen description, parking analysis, sun-shade analysis, etc. were submitted. All plans musl be lor the same development proposal and must be reviewed concurrently. 6. Snow storage is proposed to be located in the right-of-way. The Town Code requires that snow storage must be located on-site (i.e. within the boundaries of the lol and not within the right-of-way). A minimum area of 30% of the paved area must be provided to accommodale snow storage. {g *rn*or^ruo 7. L ) Structures must be located 10 ft. off of the feeder road, and obstruclions cannot be within 5 ft. of the feeder road. The following are issues staff has identified with the hazard mitigation plan: The grading for the mitigation is not indicated on the grading plan. The mitigation grading limits are localed within the 100 year floodplain. The wetland delineation needs lo be extended through the entire site as grading and walls will be located throughout the existing stream bed. The report states that the full impact of the results of the mitigation measures will need to be determined this spring. The Town has concerns regarding the culvert under l-70, as debris has been diverted down the creek channel. The debris mitigation report will need to model the event to show the flow slops higher up and does not impact any other property. The rockfall report also suggests thal boulders should be dislodged prior to construction. This needs to be indicated on the mitigation plan. More specific language from Section 12-21 oI the Town Code needs lo be included, slating lhat the development will not increase the hazard to other property or slructures or to public buildings, right-of-way, roads, streets, easements, utilities, or facililies or other properties of any kind. The following issues were identified regarding the lraffic report: The traffic reporl was 1o address the various modes ol lransportation and distribule these modes to various conneclors and discuss impacts to those conneclors, This has not been done. A 33% reduction was used in an already reduced total people trip number and we have no idea if an additional bus will be needed to meet the demand. The current level of service is only 30 minute during peak time. This then will need to be considered as il may generale even more additional pedestrian trips. This then has impact on what direction they are travelling (e.9. if Wesl to the pedestrian overpass, should the development pay for improvemenls in this direction? lf East, are lhere safety concerns in the roundabouts which need to be addressed?) The report uses a trip generation number for condominiums versus apartments. The development is clearly an aparlmenl complex. This rate is slightly higher thal lhe condo rate. The report also took a 30% reduction in overall lrip generation. Even in the mosl aggressive travel demand management scenarios, we hope tor a 15/o to 20o/o reduction. Revising the traffic report to meet these crileria will require left turn lanes at each access point. In addition, lhe Town feels more comforlable pulling buses into the site wilh a lefl turn lane. The report was to address the availability ol parking, Specifically, with regards to the Early Learning Cenler, 16 spaces is not enough. The traffic report should verify if the schools were at capacity when the traffic reporl was completed. The report slresses lhal Green Building Practices will be used, but noise from l- 70 is nol addressed. The FHWA guideline for noise mitigation states that the development standards of communities address the impacts of noise on future n b. 10. developments if the community wants to be considered for federal noise mitigation. The development needs to address the impacts of l-70 noise with regard to the livability of this new development. 11. The Environmental Assessment Report indicated thal retention ponds will be necessary. There are no ponds indicated on any of the plans. 12. Water main and hydrant locations must be indicaled on the site plan. Please contact Mike Vaughn for additional information regarding spacing and main size. 13. The residential buildings and the Early Learning Center must be sprinklered according to Town of Vail standards. Please indicate on the site plan. The parking struclures will not need to be srinklered. 14. Please indicate a limits of disturbance on the site plan. This will need to be indicated in the field with a construction fence at conslruclion. 15. A floodplain analysis of Middle Creek is required as hazard mitigation is done wilhin the stream embankments. 16. To verify building code issues, staff recommends that a building code analysis and accessibility analysis be provided. This will have an effect on the design of the buildings, including materials, egress, etc. 17. Floor plans, building elevations, GRFA, unit type, etc. need to be broken down for each individual building. 18. Many of lhe eave elevations for the stair towers are not indicated on lhe roof plan. All roof and ridge elevations must be indicated. Some ol the elevations indicated on the roof plan are inconsistent with those indicated on the building elevations. The maximum height proposed, according to the plans submitled, is 54 ft. I was under the impression that 48 ft. was the maximum heighl the applicant was proposing. 19. A zoning analysis must be provided (8.5 by 1 1), indicating the development's compliance with the zoning regulations, including, but not limited to: height, site coverage, landscape area, GRFA, parking, etc. 20. Indicate the 40% slopes of the site plan. No slruclures are allowed on slopes in excess ol 40o/a. Should you have any queslions, please do not hesitate to contact me al 970-479-2369. All of the above comments and concerns must be addressed prior to final Planning and Environmental Commission review.

This has not been done, a 33 % reduction was used in an already reduced total people trip number and we have no idea if an additional bus will be needed to meet the demand. The cunent level of service is only 30 minute during peak times. This then will need to be considered as it may generate even more additional pedestrian trips and in what direction are they traveling. West, to the pedestrian overpass and beyond, should the development pay for a significant share of the improvements to make this connection. To the east and are there safety concems in the roundabouts which need to be addressed, if there are should there be more frequent bus service and who should pay? The report used a trip generation umber for condominium verses apartment. The development clearly is an apartment complex. This rate is slightly higher than the condo rate. The report also took a 33% reduction in overall trip generation. This is a significant number. Even in the most aggressive Travel demand management scenarios we hope lor 15-20o/o reduction. Revising the traffic report to meet these criteria and the left Turn Lanes are required at each access point. we would also feel more comfortable pulling buses into the sight with a left turn lane. The report was to address the availability of parking. Specifically with regards to the Early child care leaming center. 16 spaces for this facility is not enough. We would say during drop off and pick up upwards to 30 spaces are needed. The traffic report should veriff if the schools were at capacity the day there traffic report was completed. Environmental Assessment Report 1) The environmental assessment report should use the current site plan. The report states that the drainage is handled in a separate report. This separate report was prepared in a preliminary format with the preliminary plan approval. That report stated that flows will be treated with sedementation ponds which cunently don't exist on the plan. The plan should be designed to handle the 25 year storm per our standards. The plan will need to treat both sedementation and oil and heavy metal runoff and treat it prior to discharging it into the creek. The plan at this time it is hard to tell if there is curb and gufter throughout lt is assumed as the grading plan allows for no ditches. 3) 2) The report stress allthe Green building praciices and yet one item which is not addressed is the noise from l-70 forfuture residents. The FHWA guideline for noise mitigation states that the development standards of communities address the impacls of noise on future developments if the community wants to be considered for federal noise mitigation. lt would seem the building need to address the impacts of l-70 noise with regard to the livabilaty of this new development. Debris Hazard Mitigation Plan and Letter report. 1) The conclusion of the report needs to have the very specific language from the municipal code. This states that site is a geological sensitive area but development will not increase the hazard to other propefi or structures or to public buildings, right of way, roads streets, easements utilities or facilities or other properties of any kind. 2) There is concern the grading for the mitigation does not show up on the grading plan. The mitigation grading limits are within the 100 yearffoodplain. The wetland delineation needs to be extended through the mountain bell site. There is no mitigation of the rockfallhazard. 3) The report states the full impact of the results of the mitigation measures will need to be determined this spring. We have concems what assurances we have that the culvert under l-70 will not be plugged as we have diverted the debris down the creek channel. The debris mitigation report will need to model the event to show the flow stops higher up and does not impact any other property. coln o t!o I EX- fiE 5 3r\| (\I FIoc{ Ot st C\IFI hl ol\s N FIo(\ Ot sf a\| oN or $ (\ Ft c{ <t) s NFIoN Ol s a\,1 C\| o)s (\| FIo(\ ol I (! tt O)->s N FIot\ ol s (\l N !.1\sr N o(\l o\<r N oN FI st r\|t{ N { c{ FIoC! o FI st r! or{ o t NFt c\.1 t'.1\s a{ FIoN o FI sl r\| (\ !.{\st (\ FIoN oFI =t i\,lFI N sr N FIoN r{ FI\iir a{FI (\,1 s $Eo(ozd -9(!
