Reference S2.11 ( C). Between grids D & E md l&4 there are rooftosses that
span from exterior wall to exterior wall. The interior partition walls in this building
were built up tight to the bottom chord of the trusses. The patition walls must be
built with an adequate gap (1" - | l/2") between their top plate and the bottom
chord of the tnrss to allow the truss to deflect without loading up the wall or putting
load into tle bottom chord ofthe tnrss where it was not intended-
Action Required : remow one of the two np plates of the partion walls to give a I
1/2" gap betwen the walls and the tfusses.
4
General Building C: The strd walls bave been designed to take the gravity load
of the builr{ing with their weak axis supported- The weak axis support is provided
by the interior drjrwall sheathing. The building C luildings had t€en built up to the
4th floor and g5pcrete had been applied up to the third floor. The interior drywall
sheathing on at least one side ofthe wall at the first level must be installed before
any g)p creto is poured on the fourth floor. Following this, the interior drywall
sheathing on the 2nd floor on at least one sidc ofthe wall must be installed before
the g)?caete is porned on the fifth floor. This drywall / gypcrete sequence should
carry throughout the project.
Action: Follow qbove sequence for installing interior dryntall and pouring
gq)crete.

confusion about the location and extent of the 3x6 r,u6. 6l fullding A. This was
discussed again at the site. The 3x6 studs begin at the third floor only. They do not
exist below the third floor. They are only needed so that a 7/8" diameter l€ screw
may be used to support the steel angle that supports the wet weiglt of the concrete
for the hazard mitig*ion wall. The 3x6 can be eliminated altogether if the 6x6

Dear Charlie,
Russel Martino, the representative for Gregory P. Luth and Associates visited the
Middle Creek Village Job site on Tuesday May 4'2004 following the Monday May 3,
2004 accident involving the collapse ofan onsite crane. Attached is his account ofwhat
he saw and his recommendations. I visited the site with him the following day and
concur with his assessment and his recommendations.
In summary, as the result of the collapse of the crane, a single bay of joists on the fifth
floor was pretty much demolished. The front wall of the building at that floor was
slightly damaged. The impact of the crane with the top deck of the parking structure
punched a hole through the concrete topping and double tee flange between to tee stems
and caused minor cracking of the double tee stems.
None of the damage caused irreparable harm to the base building structure. The
damage at the fifth floor can be repaired by removing and replacing the damaged
components. The damage to the concrete can be repaired by patching the hole. The
damage to the tee stem does not require repair. The cracks are quite tight and are of
the same size as normal shrinkage cracks.
Don't hesitate to call should you have any questions or require additional information.
Thank you.
Sincerely
Gregory P. Luth & Associates

I was on site to assess the structural damage to building C due to the crane accident.
The crane had already been removed from the plaza deck by the time I had arrived.
I could see damagc to the precast tee topping on the plaza level approximately 9'-
0" East of grid 5 roughly half way between grids B&C. There was a hole in thc
topping slab / precast tee flange. I observed this with Paul Shultz and John Hanlon
from above and below the plaza level. There were several hairline cracks in the
stem of thc tce to the East of the hole. These cracks were very tight, nearly
invisible to the nakcd cyc and registered only 0.01" on the crack gage. John
Hanlon and I agreed that these were indicative of short term elastic deflection duc
to the impact of the crane hitting the deck. Thc tee stem took the load, deflected,
cracked the concrete and sprung back to its original position after the event. We
agreed that no action need be taken on the tee stem. The cranc did punch through
the topping slab however, and this must be fixed. See attached SSK #64 for the
infill of the hole.
Action Req'd: Fill in plaza slab hole per attached SSK #64

There was further damage to the wood framing on the 4th floor in the l8'-0" bay
just East ofgrid 5 between gnds A & B (reference S2.l l( C ). The crane boom /jib
had hit thejoists at about the midspan ofthe bay and had broken nearly all them in
half. The j oists had clearly rolled off the walls along grid 5 and l 8'-0" East of grid
5 and no dammage was observed in these walls. The south wall of this bay, l0'-0"
Notth of grid B, was also dammaged. Some studs in the wall had buckled, and the
wall had rotatod outward off of its bottom plate.
The joists (all but two in the above mentioned bay) and the front wall must b
removed and replaced. The walls on the East and West sides of the bay may
remain and be used in the final structure.
Action Required : Remove dammaged Joists and Southern wall and replace with
new materials.

FYI
Today, May 3rd 2004 at about 12: 1SPM a non-injury construction accident occurred at the Middle Creek
Affordable housing project. I arrived on-site at the invitation of the Vail Fire Department at approximately 12:40
PM. I witnessed a construction crane which has fallen
over. There are a limited amount of details at this time, however the best news to date is that
there were no injuries reported. Jay and Sean with Shaw Construction were on-site and are advised to contacr
their safety officer, OSHA, structural engineerofrecord and the precastconcrete company. Each ofthese
individuals shall submit in writing to the Town, their
observations, corrections and recommendations to remedy the situation. Only minor structural damage was
noted at this stage of the preliminary investigation.
The construction site has also been notified that no more work shall continue and everyone will leaving the site
until all investigations are complete.
This is all I have for now and will keep people posted if any additional information is supplied to me.

Subjccu Rsview of Underdrain Design and Observatiou ofExcavation, Proposed
Building A, Middle Crek Affordatrle Housing Projoct, Vaii, Colorado
Dear lim:
As rcquested, we nade several visits to the subject site betrveen Deccmber 17, 2003 and
Marcb22,2204 to discuss the buildi[g underdraiu design, observe its construction, and
observe thc building excrvation eryo$€d for foundation bearing conditions. The
tintlings of our observatio* and recommenCations for the underdrain and foundation
designs are presentcd in this repon. Hepworth-Pawlsk Ceotechnical has beon
pertbnning part{irne construction observation ard testing for tbe project under the
above job urmber.
Koechlein Consulting Eogineers, Inc. (KCE) previously performed a soil$ and
foundation iwestiguio'n for tte projcct, rEport dxod March 74, ?ffiz, Job No. 0l-136.
Building A will be a 3 story wood frass structura with a slab-on-grado ground floor
locuted in the southwestern portion of tbe site, fire design grouud floor elevations are
8218.5 feet in the eastern 1/3 of the building and 8213.5 feet iu the western 2/3 of the
building. The buildiry has been designed to be supported on spread footings using the
recommendadom provided in KCE's report. The KCE report tecomoendcd an
altowable soil bearing pnessurc of 4,500 psf for the spread fmting fourdation design.
At the uphill (nortbem) side ot the building will bc a 20 to 25 foor higb soil nail wall
lglxining the cut with about 3 feet of space between the soil nail wall ard the wooden
buildiqg stnrcture.
Dtrring co$truction of the soil nail wall in December 2003, considerable groundwater
was encountered in about the lower 5 feet of tbe excavation in the wqstem (lowcr)
portion of thc prrposcd building. During a site visit on December 17, we estimatsl the
seepage flow rate to be absut ?.0 to 25 gallons per minute. At this dme we
rccomrnsnded additional drain covcrage behid dre soil nail wall and a buildiry
underdrain systefi to cuutml the seepage antl dewatpr the builditg ercavation. Thc
building unrlerdrain system was recommended to consist of perimeter aD(l interior
lateral drains plac€d at least 2 feet below floor slab elevation.

Yenter Companies, the soit nail wall design/build contractor, reportedly installed
several horiZontal drains ard increased drainage mat covcxage behind the wall frou
t0% to 20![ irr the high $e€PEge flow area with the drairs beiug dischargcd into an 8
inch diameter ttmin prpe at the base of the wall whiuh discbnrged with thc building
underdrain syst€m, Thc building undcrdrein systcm, desigaed by Peak Civil
Enginecriqg (dated December 22, 2W3), cossistfd of a perfuneter drain and intcrior
latoral drains on abost 15 to 20 feer spacrng below the western (lower) portion of tho
building. The rlrain prpe was 6 insh diametu perimeter and 4 inch diameter lateral
placed a minimum 2 feet below slab elevadon and sunoundcd by drain gravel, and
connecFd with 8 irsh diamcler pipe for gravily outlet. During our site visit ou
Febnnry lE, tbe soil nail wall was esseutially complcte aurl the buildiug underdrain
systEB had beeq iDstalted and the syste$s appeared to be adequatoly sontrolling the
groundweter secpage.
Orr March 2, 2W we observed the fcruudation excavation for Building A Io be
underway with coarse gmuulu soils being encountered. On March 22,the foundation
excavation was essentially complete and had been cut in 3 Ievels from about 4 io 25 feet
below the adjacerf groffid surface. The soils exposed in the bottom of the excavation
consistal of rclativcly dense, silty clayey sand ad gravet with cobbles and boulders
covareil by ttp to about 2 feet of minus I tl inc,h free draining gravel in areas. There
was some grcmrdwat€r secpage being encountcred ia thc footing excavation aloog thc
south and west sidcs of the cxcavation wherc the exsavation$ were deeper than thc
underdnin systcm. The groundwater entering the trenches was being adertruatety
cootrolled by trenches oulside the footing sreas leading to e surnp where the water $/as
collected and pumped.
The soil corditions exposed in the excavation appear coruistent with those previously
ercountered on thc site by KCE and suitable for support of spr€ad fooiingi.q designed for
the recoumerdcd allowable bcaring pressure of 4,500 psf. Loose and disturbcd soils
should be temoved in the footing areas to expose fhe undisrurbed natural soils. It
should be feasible to place up to a few feet ofdrain rock below the footirU and slab
areas. The water scts?age into ttre excavation should continue to be collectcd and
diverted away from the footing areir ard arty sonerrcd soils ard mud renoved before
concrete placematt. Other recommendations presented iu the KCE report which are
applicable should also be observod.
Tho soil nail wall should be designed as a pemanetrt stucture which typically includes
c,poxy coatcd nails to resist corrosion and a thisk€r reinforced .shotcrete wall section.
We understand from Yenter Coryanies that the wall was designed and constructed as a
pernurcnt structurE. The wall should bc monitored on a rcgular basis for any
indicatioru of excessive movement or cracking.

Sultject:Bxcavation Observation, Proposed Building C, Middle Crtek
Affbrdable Housing hojcct, Vail, Colorado
Dear Jim:
Au reguested, the undersigned observetl the excavation at the subject site on November
20,ZOO3 to evaluatp tbe soils exposed for foundation $upport. Thc lindings ofour
otrserVations and comments regarding the foundation design arc presented in this
report. Hepworth - Pawlak Geotcchnical has becn perfordillg part-tim€ construction
observation an<I testing lbr the project under the above job nurnbcr. Thc services are as
rJiscussed in our proposals to you dated Septembcr 1l arrl October ?l , zffii .
Koechlein Consulting Engineers, Inc. (KCE) previously performed a soils and
foudation investigation ttrr the project, rcpofl datal March 14,2{n2, Joh No. 0l'136.
Building C witl be a 5 story wood-frame structure over 3 storics of below grede
puking of pre-cast copcrete constructioil. Ground floor will be slah-on-grade. The
buiJding has been designed to be suPported on spread footings ueing thc
recommendations provided in KCE's rtpoft. the KCE report rccomnerded a 4,500
psfallowable soil bearing presstre for the sprcad footing ftlundation design'
At the tinre of our November 20 site vi$it, thc foundation constructiou for Building C
was nearly complete. The excavation for the fouxlation had bees cut in uurltiple lcvels
up to about 25 feet belttw the ground surfac€, daylighting to the $outb' The soils
expgsecl iu thc bonorn of tlrc excavation consisted primarily of relatively dense, silty
clayey saurl and gravel with cobbles and boulders. In thc dceper cut of tltc norlhwest
conrer of the excavatign, hard shale bedrock was el{poscd. Tbe resulls of a gadation
anrlysis performcd on a sample of the sand and gravel with cohble materinl obtained
frum the site (minus 5 inch fraction) are presentrrl on attash€d Figure l. Testing
pert'ormul on thc le-compacted footing subgrade areas, rEportcd separately, indicates
cornpactiou crf at ieast 100% clf the maximum standard Ptnctor derrsity. No free water
was encountered in thc excavation and the soils werc typically moist.
Tirc soil contlitions exposed in the cxcavation appear consistcst wirh thrtse previo*tly
encountcred on the site by KCE and suitable tor support of spread footings designed for
thcir recornrnended allowablc bearing plcsjsure of 4,500 psf. Tlrcre Could be somc

materials should be rernoved in the footing areas to expose the undishrrted natural soils
or bedrock. Thc bearing soils shcnrld bc protectal from freezing during the
sonstruction, Other foundadon design recommendations prascnted in KCE report
which are applicable should also be observed.
The recomrnendations submitted in this letter are based on our observation of the soils
and bedrock exposcd within the fourrdation excavation and the previous subsurface
exploration at the site by otrers. Variations in tbe subsurface conditions below the
excavation could increase the risk of fbundation movement. We should be advised of
any variations encountcred in dre excavation conditions for pr.rssible change$ to
recommendatioos conmird in this letter.
If there are any questions or if we may be of further a$sistatrce, please Iet us know.
Sincerely,
HEPWORTH - P

Subject: ExcavationObservation
Building C
Foundation along Column Line A
Middle Creek Aflordable Housine
Vail, Colorado
Job No.03-160
As requested, a representative from our office observed the foundation materials exposed in the
open excavation along Column Line A, Building C, at the subject site on October 17, 2003. The
pu{pose of our observation was to verify that the exposed materials were similar to the
subsurface conditions presented in our Soils and Foundation Investigation report, Job No. 01-
136, dated March 14, 2002 and our supplemental letters Job No. 03-038, dated April 14 and 21.,
2003. Also, that the exposed materials would safely support a spread footing foundation system.
"fhe excavation along Column Line A was excavated to approximate foundation grade. The
materials exposed in the bottom of the excavation for Column Line A foundation of the proposed
Building C consisted of bedrock and soil. The soil was moist dense silty, sandy gravel with
cobbles and boulders. The bedrock was in the northwest corner ofthe excavation and extended
from Column Line I to 2.5 along Column Line A and from Column Line A to A.5 along Column
Line 1. The exposed soil was from Column Line 2.5 to 8 along Column Line A. The depth of
soil was investigated with the on-site Yenter drill rig along Column Line A. The depth of soil
was 6 feet at Column Line 3.5, 12 feet at Column Line 4.5, 14 feet at Column Line 5.5, and
greater than 20 feet at Column Line 7 .
We recommend that any loose soil exposed within the excavation be moisfure treated and
compacted or removed prior to footing construction. Provided our recommendations are
followed, it is our opinion that the bedrock and soils exposed within the excavation along
Column Line A of Building C will safely support a spread footing foundation systems designed

Accces to Lhe "orawlupace" arca will be provided thrrough fte srcchanical roorn on the
first levcl of the building. Plearc refer all questions reglruding the location and sizc of
the access point to the architect.
The "Hazard Wall" and smrchrral slab that interface witir the top of the soil-nuil wall
have bcen designed to incorporate horizontal movemsnt. The cqrnection of the
structural slab the face of building A provide.s vertical r€shainq but allows for limited
horizontal flexibility. Afterdiscussisns with botlr tlre geotechnicul engineerond soil
nail wull confractor, we haye deterrnined rhat the soil nail wall will have an expectcd
horizontal movemcnt m l" or less. To accommodate this movement a minimum ?'
gap will be provided benrreen the hazard mideadon wall md tlre norrh face of building
A.
The *Hazaxd Wall" has been design t'or q 600 psf load acting both horizontally and
vcrtically. Thc calculations for thc "Hazard Wall" were inadvertently lefr out of the
previorsly submitted calculation bindcr, and have boen includcd with this merno for
completeness.
To rcach an active condition in dense cohesionless soil (compasted sands and gravels),
a horizontal movement of 0.001H is necessary. The maximum raained soil behind
ttre wall has atotal heightno grvatorthan 25 ftat, which corrcsponds to a maximum
horizontal movement of apprcximamly fl16" to cr€ale an "active 'retcntion conditim.
We exJrect that this movement will nccur during backfilling of the wall, beforc the
wood floor framing has becn put in placc. If, howcvcc, thc activc condition is not
achieved during thc bacldlling of rhc walls, drc rctaining walls on both ttre East trnd
Wost ends can aosommodate limited amounts of movernent thmugh deformation into
an open space (stair shaft on the East end), and deformtiqr of the artjacent material
(2x4 s$d wall on the West end). We cxpect that bccause of this, an active retEntion
Whire lnss-lble, all foundations bear on native soil. ForBuilding A, the slorpe of the
existing site is suoh that tlre majoriry of $c building will be resting on treas 'but 'into
native soil. However, *rere ar? some condirions wherc backfilling behind a stem wall
will creale a condition in which a small pottion of the adjacent inbrior footing will
beu on fill rnaterial. We have discussed these spccial conditions with the
Crcotcchnical Engincer, dnd he has appmved thc usc of ttre fill as a boaring surfacc if
the fill is placal properly. As a gcneral rule, bearing on lill is not a gmd idca.
However, where we havc found no cost effective altematives other than bearing on
fill, the Geotrhnical Enginccr has boen consultod trd fill has apploved as a beoring
sruface (per rhe geotcchnical cngineer's rEpon pagg 10, scction 1) as long as the fill is
pmprlyplaced

MCAH Buildings B and E Structural Comments
Gentlemen:
I offer the following comments regarding the structural plans and calculations for the Middle Creek
Affordable Housing prolect, Buildings B and E:
1. A number of piers and some stem wall footings appear to lie within backfill zones of retaining walls and
lower foundations of Building B (Sheet S5.31). This contradicts the recommendations of the Geotechnical
Engineer (p. 11, item 6, Soils and Foundation Investigation). fls it feasible to extend the piers to bear on
the footing heels below?l
2. The integrated design of the walkway and grade beam on the north side of Building B (Detail 4/55.33)
is susceptible to frost heave that would affect the roof and walkway structure above. A similar condition
exists along the south side, where the sidewalk slab is "sandwiched" between the retaining wall and roof
columns. [Could void-cell be used to isolate ground heave from the slabs?]
3. As noted previously, there does not appear to be adequate strength in the 12"x18" thickened slab
interior footing to support the imposed loads to accommodate the 10 foot span capacity recommended by
the Geotechnical Engineer. For Building B, the shear capacity appears lacking.
4. There is a contradiction between Structural and Architectural information regarding interior bearing wall
construction at Building B. The structural schedule indicates 2xO @ 16" o.c. studs and the architectural
wall schedule calls for staggered party wall construction with 2x4 studs spaced al24" o.c. on both 2xG and
2x8 plates.
5. The foundation plan for Building E designates most of the retaining wall on the north side as a "8" type
wall scheduled on 1/S1.41. According to that schedule, the maximum height of retaining for this wall type
is 8 feet above the floor slab. However both the architectural elevations and the grading plan indicate that
the planned height of the backfill varies between 8 feet and 12.5 feet.
6. The footings on the south side of Building E may need to extend up to B or 9 feet to bear on
undisturbed soils two feet below the existing grade, according to the grading plan. The only foundation
section (3/S1.41) references a "hard" 4 foot overall foundation height.
7. There is no section shown for the 12 inch thick stem walls for "Keyed Note 2" on the foundation plan
for Building E. This will likely require double mat reinforcing, and more information should be provided.
This completes my structural review of the Middle Creek Affordable Housing project. Please contact me if
you have any questions regarding these comments.
Sincerely,
Robert Pattillo. P.E.

We have received the peer rcview comm€nts from Panillo A$sociatas Engineers, Inc.
rcgarding the building C latond fi'aming on thc Mddle Creck Villago Affordoble Housing
Prpject, imd have genoue tlre following responses to their quesrions/cornrnentr:
l. IJBC s€cdon 2513.1 states: 'The sheor vslucs tabuhtcd shall not be cumulative

st ttes-thrr non-homogeneous mat€rials may not be sdditive for shear purposcs, but
idsntical matprials may bc addcd rcgardless of their coflfiguration. Thereforc, in a
wall with both plywmd and gpsum streathing tho shearrcsistance of thc Efp$um

of gypsum on the other, all of the layers of gpsum would be able to confiibute to ths
strfo-resisigrce frn thE wall. I bslicve rhat the kcys to this passage arc the words thar
have not been included. Whilc the UBC statrs hu the matcrials must bc idendcal for
the shear values to bc added together, it drres not say that thcy configUrafion be
idcntical (i.c.: nailing thickncse, number of layers, etc.). Ae euch, the strear capacities
of walls SW t and SW5 would bc reduccd to 350 plf and 460 Plf respcctively, but the

m account for the rpduced single shearhing shear capacity. Thc updarcd calcularions
have been included (eoe atuchment l) with 0ris menro for completeness.
The hold dorvns at the ends of the links beoms between building Cl and C2 are
Dreant to prcvide a nrcchanism through which load can be trausfencd betwcen the two
buildings. We havc found that tying buildings CI and C2 together reduced the strcar
and overtuming &mands on C2. Whcn thc buildings arc tied together, the uplift dr:e
to larcral loading is redrced to zero, eliminating the need for large hold-downs at the
ends of tlrc shcarwrlls. Furttrerdescription of the benefi$ of the linking the two
buildings together has been added to thc latcral portion of he calcularions and have
bcen includcd with this merno for complaeness (please refer o anachment #2).
The "100 kip EQK' lo'arlu shown at tha end$ of the CMU wall at grid 4 arc indccd
ove,rnrming forcen. The.se forces are capable of acting in cithcr a positive or negafive
(uplift) vstical direction based on lhe dir€ction of thc ground notion duing a seismic
event. Thcsc fo!€cs wcrc included on plan so that the pr€cost concrtc supplicr could
desigrr for precast rectangular bcan that will be supporting the CMU wall. Th€ CMU
wall will be doweled into the topping slab, which will then transfer the forpe into the
precast double tees, A detuil showing the dowel size and spacing has been addcd to
the dnrwingu, which will be rsissucd for peimit in the ncar future.

The Ccllular composlUon of Wood
wood ls made uP of cells that are long, hollow tubcs-. For our softwood
sDecles, cells range from 0.1n bD 0'3'long and are about 0'003" In

tonoer und have much thi;ker wllls than earlywood cells' The latewood
cells provlde most of the strcngth and stlffrresg of softwood specles'
Cells are made of submicroscoPlc flbers and some bonding agents' Thls
celFwlll maner (fur all sPecles, both softwoods and hardwoods) ls

These names are mlsleading; some hardwoods actually have much lower
densiues than some softwoods' The technlcal dlfferences between
hardwoods and softtvoods are in the cell structure and the type of lcaf
and seed, Hardwoods may be clcsslfled as broad4erf dectduous rees
and soR$roods as narrow'leal evergreens.
The cell sFucture of hardrvood ls much more compllcatad than that of
softrrood, rs hardrvoods have cells PerPendlcular to, as well as par€llel
to, the rle axis. Also, there are two g€nertl hardwood typ€s i rlng-
oorous (such as oak) and dlffuse-porous (such as aspcn
'nd
yrllow
boolar), In difrrse'pbrous hordwoods there ls little dlffcr€nce between
iaifywooa and lalewood, and thc Innual rings can be dlfitcult to
dlsUnguish.

StllTness and CrceP
Changes ln HC can alfect sdfhess and creep and can lead to serlous
pmb6ms. For most wood, ralsing thc l'lc trom normel'use condltlons to
Fs oecreises sdffness about 25*, thereby caushg an lmm€dlate
deflection of about one-third more than calculated'
Creep ls an increase In deflecuon that occurs with tlme under load. In
senrl'ce at usual EMC, wood (dry) wlll evenhrally creep about 50% ot
lnltd denecUon. The amount of creep is somewhrt dependent on str€ss
lwels, but thls dllTerencc ls usually less than the varia-uon betlYeen
members, and the 50ry! rule can be used as a tbirly.rellable average'.
When considerlnE creep, it ls common to aPply lhe Increase only to the

oroduce creep. Also, when load ls r€moved, some of the creep denEctlon

Mr. McGee,
This memo clarifies the issues you identified in your Middle Creek plan review notes
dated July 16,2003. The enclosed matrix identifies items previously resolved and items
addressed by this document. Also enclosed is a letter from Riviera Electric documenting a
meeting held on August 14ft in which agreement was reached on the fire alarm systems. These
comments relate to the items in the enclosed matrix.
9, 12r. Gas and Electric Meters must be protected from snow and ice accumulations
All of the electric meters are currently in fully enclosed rooms. Please refer to drawings
LlA2.2}., llA2.3B and,1lA2.6C for details.
The gas meters at Building A have been placed undemeath a shed roof with a 3'
overhang on the east side of the building, just north of the stair tower. The gas meters at Building
C have been relocated under the entry canopy on the west side of the building. Please refer to
drawings 4l A4.l A and 2l A4.5C for exact locations.
14, The electric room is shown to be enclosed in a chain link fence. It appears the room is
required to be within a fire-rated enclosure.
The electric room previously shown on the permit set of drawings has been revised per
the electrical engineer's specifications. It now consists of three rooms, each within a one-hour
rated enclosure. Please refer to drawing llA2.6C for details.
20. The vents at the top of the stair were not discussed in terms of compliance with the
intent to ventilatc the stair. If an open air space is provided, it is not shown clearly. No
calculations were provided to demonstrate the stair openings meet or exceed the
minimum 357a.
The main stair tower on the east side of Building A is an exterior exit stairway. It has an
open south side with at least 35 s.f. ofopening per landing, as specified by IBC 2000 section
1005.3.6. Calculations for the stair tower are attached.

26. The Fire Alarm Control Panel must be located in a secure room with a minimum 2 HR
fire rating, emergency lighting, no connecting ventilation to the interior' and have a
dedicated phone line.
The fire alarm control panel room is now located within a two-hour fire rated enclosure.
The electrical drawings in the permit set show emergency lighting and a dedicated phone line.
There will be no connecting ventilation to the interior. Please refer to attached drawing llAZSC
and existing drawing l/E3.9.for details.
29. Please provide documentation as to the 4HR rating for wall type 20.
Wall type 20 corresponds to UL# U901, see attached.
30. No details were provided for fire extinguisher cabinets. Cabinets are not specified on
plans as either recessed, semi-recessed or surface mounted.
Fire extinguisher cabinets are to be semi-recessed in an 18 ga. steel box. Please refer to
the attached specification for further details.
33. The fire alarm panel location is not approved or acceptable. It is not protected from
freezing or from casual access.
The fire alarm control panel is now located in a heated room. Refer to sheets A2.3B and
A4.3B for details.

3. IBC Section 705 - Fire Walls
Fire walls as defined by the IBC 2000 and area separation walls as defined byUBC 1997 are intended to separate a single building into portions considered by the code
to be separate buildings. In a fire, everything on one side of a fire vrall or area scparationwall should be able to bum down without the building on the other side of the *ull b"ingaffected. The IBC 2000 includes these provisions regarding fire walls:a. Section 705.5 Horizontal projecting elements. Fire walls shall extend 18" past
the exterior walls of the building, but shall be allowed to terminate at the
interior surface of combustible exterior sheathing if the exterior wall has at
least a 1-hour fire resistance rating for a horizonLl distance of at least four
feet on both sides of the fire wall. Any openings within the horizontal
distance shall be % hour rated.
section 705.5.1 Exterior walls. where the fire wall intersects the exterior
wall, the exterior walt shall have at least a l-hour fire resistance ratingwith3/a
hour openings within a horizontal distance of 4 feet on either side of iire firewall.
section 705.5.2 Horizontar projecting eremenrs. Fire walls need to onlv
extend through a concealed space to the outer edges of the protected elem"ntsif the exterior wall behind and below the projecting element is at least r-hour
rated fire resistive construction with3/a hour openings for the depth of theprojecting element.
section 705.6 - verticar continuity. Fire walls are permitted to end at theexterior roof sheathing in R-2 occupancies of rype III construction if the roofsheathing is fi-re-letardant treated wood for 4 feii on both sides of the fire wallor rs protected with 5/8 inch type 'X' gypsum board for 4 feet on both sides otthe fire wall.
All of these provisions' while allowing reductions in the physical limits of the fire wall,provide alternate protections to maintain the continuity oi the fire separation itself. A firethat started in a living unit on one side of the fire wall, where it could cause immediateharm to residents and be more difficult for other residents to detect, is se-parated from theotherportion ofthe building by a high fire-resistive rating. A fire that started on thehorizontal projection or on the roofis protected from living units on both sides ofthe areaseparation wall by several assemblies of moderate fire-resistive ratings (roof, walls andfif yd]), increasing the likelihood of preserving the living onitr Jir"""trf -ound the fire.The IBC 2000 srates thar these modifications do not alter tle intent of the uBC 1997

tr)fl"ut" find below Odell Architects, P.C.'s response to the building code comments regarding IBC
2000 equivalency provided by Hougland and Associates dated August 5,2003 for Building C of
the Middle Creek Affordable Housing Project.
IBC 2000 equivalency issues
l.IBC 1005.3.6.2 - Exterior exit stairways
The 1997 UBC requirements for exterior exit stairways state that two adjacent sides must be
open except for required structural columns and open-type guardrails (Section 1006.3.3.1) to
prevent the accumulation of smoke and toxic gases within a stair. The IBC 2000 allows
exterior stairways to have one open side with at least 35 s.f. open at each floor level and
intermediate landing. The ICBO publication 2000 IBC Handbook: Fire and lift-safety
provisions states: "by limiting the amount of enclosure by the exterior walls of the building,
an exterior stair will be sufficiently open to the exterior to prevent accumulation of smoke
and toxic gases" (p.238). The IBC accepts 35 s.f. of opening at each floor level and
intermediate landing as sufficient to allow smoke and toxic gases to escape, thereby meeting
the intent of the code.
IBC Table 704.8 - Allowable area of openings
The intent ofboth 1997 UBC Table 5-A and 2000 IBC Table 704.8 is to decrease the risk of
heat transmission between buildings by restricting the amount opening area proportionate to
the distance between buildings. Both codes recognize that the danger of heat transmission
decreases with distance from property line. The 1997 UBC requires protected openings if the
area separation is less than twenty (20) feet, but does not restrict the total area of openings.
The 2000 IBC requires that the areas of both protected and unprotected openings be limited
dependent on the distance of the area separation, but allows some unprotected openings up to
five(5) feet from the property line. The area of the unprotected openings at the tight
adjacencies between Buildings B and C and buildings on the plaza of Building C is within the
amount allowed by the 2000 IBC, and therefore sufficiently limits openings close to the
property line.

3. IBC Section 705 - Fire Walls
Fire walls as defined by the IBC 2000 and area separation walls as defined by
UBC 1997 are intended to separate a single building into portions considered by the code
to be separate buildings. In a fire, everything on one side of a fire wall or area separation
wall should be able to burn down without the building on the other side of the wall being
affected. The IBC 2000 includes these provisions regarding fire walls:
a. Section 705.5 Horizontal projecting elements. Fire walls shall extend 18" past
the exterior walls of the building, but shall be allowed to terminate at the
interior surface of combustible exterior sheathing if the exterior wall has at
least a I -hour fire resistance rating for a horizontal distance of at least four
feet on both sides of the fire wall. Any openings within the horizontal
distance shall be 3/ hour rated.
b. Section 705.5.1 Exterior walls. Where the fire wall intersects the exterior
wall, the exterior wall shall have at least a l-hour fire resistance ratingwith3/a
hour openings within a horizontal distance of 4 feet on either side of the fire
wall.
c. Section 705.5.2 Horizontal projecting elements, Fire walls need to only
extend through a concealed space to the outer edges of the protected elements
if the exterior wall behind and below the projecting element is at least 1-hour
rated fire resistive construction with3/t hour openings for the depth of the
projecting element.
d. Section 705.6 - Vertical continuity. Fire walls are permitted to end at the
exterior roof sheathing in R-2 occupancies of Type III construction if the roof
sheathing is fire-retardant treated wood for 4 feet on both sides of the fire wall
or is protected with 5/8 inch type 'X' gypsum board for 4 feet on both sides of
the fire wall.
All of these provisions, while allowing reductions in the physical limits of the fire wall,
provide altemate protections to maintain the continuity of the fire separation itself. A fire
that started in a living unit on one side of the fire wall, where it could cause immediate
harm to residents and be more difficult for other residents to detect, is separated from the
other portion of the building by a high fire-resistive rating. A fire that started on the
horizpntal projection or on the roof is protected from living units on both sides of the area
separation wall by several assemblies of moderate fire-resistive ratings (roof, walls and
fire wall), increasing the likelihood of preserving the living units directly around the fire.
The IBC 2000 states that these modifications do not alter the intent of the UBC 1997
code - to separate a single building into multiple portions for life-safety purposes.

Hi Bridget,
Thanks for your email. I am just having difficulty with some of the details for the (ADA) bathrooms as presented on Sheets
47.6 & A7 .'7 . Interior elevations 2lA7 .7 & 3lA7 .7 indicate a lavatory and cabinet space that appears to comply but is not
dimensioned.
Elevation 141A7.6 indicates a cabinet that appears similar but with no section or other information indicating that the
cabinetry is complying. ln l4lA7.6 the centerline of the w/c scales at lS-inches from the lavatory and l8-inches is required.
No dimensions are provided in the elevation detail indicating that it is to be l8- inches.
The w/c's scale at lS-inches to the top of the_!ic!, l5-inches minimum is required to the top of the_sga!. Again there are no
dimensions and all w/c's in all details appear to be the same height.
The reflective surface of the mirrors appear to scale at more than 40-inches above the floor and there are no dimensions
included.
The lack of dimensions on the constructions drawings make it difficult to determine compliance and can also lead to
problems during construction. This can lead to misplaced fixtures, cabinetry, flush controls etc. It is helpful to have fully
detailcd drawings of all accessible bathrooms and kitchens as well as clear spaces for other appliances such as washcrs,
dryers, ranges, cooktops, sinks, countertops etc. that are required to be accessible by ANSI A I l7.l, Chapter 10. I must
cmphasize that accessibility is an important issue.
T\e 1/2" scale is a good scale however all critical dimensions indicating compliance with ANSI Al 17.l should be included.
Please contact me if you have questions.
Thanks for the communication,
Art

Art,
I had a question about your comment regarding the Type A and Type B accessible units at Building C on the
Middle Creek project. You have asked us for more detailed and dimensioned drawings in order to verify
compliance of all accessible units. Would more fully dimensioned drawings be acceptable, or do you require a
larger architectural scale? lf you could let me know what you need to see in those drawings in order to verify
compliance, I would really appreciate it. Please feel free to contact Lee Mason or myself if you have any
further questions. Thank you,

Our response is to meet the "intent" of the code in this instance. Please see attached key
plan of Building C and calculations for open area at exterior stairways. The open side of
the plaza stair does not have 35 s.f. total open space at the intermediate landing, but total
open are.rs well over the requirements. This creates a "flow through" situation, which in
addition to the other openings at the landings on the plaza side, we feel will disperse any
smoke or gasses. The east stair meets the 35 s.f. requirement for open space at each floor
level and intermediate landing. The south stair meets the 35 s.f. open requirement for the
area at each floor level, but not at the intermediate landing. This stair, however, has two
open sides on opposite walls, allowing air to circulate and maintain the "flow through"
situation. The stairs at buildings A and B meet the code, as indicated on the attached
elevations and in our IBC equivalency analysis.
The area separation walls will extend to the underside of the roof sheathing, and into any
concealed projecting elements such as balcony roofs. According to the IBC 2000 Section
705, additional fire resistive construction at roof planes and exterior walls mitigates the
need for a thirty (30) inch parapet above the roof plane and the need for a 2-hour fire-
resistive roof-ceiling assembly. Please see the attached equivalency analysis for details.
PIease see attached equivalency analysis.

Shrcnral Plan Review Response
Dear Sir.
We harre rpceived the peer review comments from Panillo Associates Engineers, Inc.
Fgardirg building A on the Mddle Cteek Village Affbrdable Housing Project, and have
gene$te the following responses.to their questiondcomrnenrc:
L The foundations have been designed to span a l0'-0'distance in accordance with thc
Ocore;hnicat Engineef s rccomrncrrdations, The calculation for ttre capacity of the
tlrickened slab elernent in question may be found on page 115 of the previously
submincd calsulation binder,
As with cvcry project wc work on, it is KL&.A's (and more specifically the Enginecr
of Rccord's) intent rcview all struclural componcnts of the pmject. However, our
review does not rctease the contractor ftom the responsibility of hiring an independent
engineering lirm to desigr and seal the drawings fm the soil-nail retaining wdl on
building A. As such, the note on the previously submitred drawings refers to the
contractor for the wall dcsigr and details. While ttris note indicaes that the contractor
is responsible for the design and detailing of the soil-nail retaining wall, the Engineer
of Record will rwiew the final design to makc surc the desigrr conforms with sotmd
engineering pnnciples and practicc.

Acccss to the "oawlspacc" area will be pruvidetl thruugh the npchanical fixrm on the
first level of the building. Please retbr all questions regarding ttre location and size of
the access pint to thc architect,
The "Hazard Wall" and stnrcb'rral slab that inbrfacc with thc top of thc soil-nail wall
havo been desigred to incorporate horizontal movement. Thc connaction of the
srucual slab the fase of building A prcvidcs vertical resEaint, but allows for limited
horizontal flexibility. Aftcr discussimrs with both the geotechnical cngineer und soil
nail wall conhactor, we hsve detEfinincd that the soil nail wall will have m expected
horizontal movement or l" or lcss. To accommodate this movement, a minimum 2"
gap will be prcvided between the hazard mitigation wall and the north face of building
A,
The "Hazard Wall" has been design for a 600 psf load itcting bottr horizontally and
vertically. The calculations for ttr 'Tlazard Wall" were inadvertently lelt out of tlte
praviously submitted calculotion bindcr, und have bwn inclu&d with this memo for
completeness.
To reach an active condition in dense cohesionlesa soil (compacted sands and gravels),
a horizontal movernent of O.fi)lH is necessary. The maximum rctained soil behind
the wall has a to,tal height no g€sler than 25 tcr,t, which corrcsponds to a rnaximum
horizontal movemant of altgroximatcly 5/16" to create an 'active" rtention condition.
We erpct that tlris movement will mcur dwing baclfilling of the wall, beforc the
wood floor framing has bccn put in plae. If however, the activc mndition is nor
ashieved during ttre brclcfilling of the walls, the retaining walls on both thc East and
West ends can accommodate limited amounr of movement thmugh deforrration into
an open spaa'e (stair shaft on the East end), and defomration of the adjacent material
(2x4 stud wall on the T/est crrd). Wc cxpcct that bccause of this, an active retention
condition wtll be achieved"
Where pssible, all foundations bear on native soil. For Building A, the slopc of thc
existing site is such that thc majoriry of the btrilding will be resting on atrPas "cul" into
native soil. Itrowever, thcrc are sornE conditiOns where backfilling beilnd a stem wrll
will create a condition in which a surall portion of 0re adjaccnt intcrim footing will
bear on fill material. We have discus.sed these special conditions wittr the
Geotochnical Enginecr, aud he has approved thc usc of the fill as a bearing surf'ace in
certain exceptioru that confOrm 10 he in@nt of thc original rwommendation's goal of
minimizing differential scttlemflt. In the areas in question. wherebearing onfill
occurs, thc walls are relarively *light" loadc4 and witl produce a differelrtial
settlennnt within the rmge originally taryeted, As a general rule' bearing on fill is not
allowed. Howwcr, whcre wc have fOUndno costeffective altemativcsotherthan
bearing on fill, the Ceotechnical Engineer has been consul6d and special exceptions
have boen granrcd.

Structural Plan Review
Dear Sir:
As requested, personnel of Pattillo Associates Engineers have examined the
permit application plans and calculations for this project with regard to structural
engineering design. The structural plans were prepared by Kf&A of California,
lnc. dated June 10, 2003, and sealed by Gregory P. Luth, P.E. We offer the
following comments pertaining to Building A:
l) The Geotechnical Engineer recommends that foundations be
capable ofspanning a l0-foot distance. The thickened slab footings
appear insufficient to meet that criteria.
2) The plans indicate the soil-nail retaining wall design be provided
by the contractor. We believe that the Engineer of Record should review
and approve all structural components of the project, including this major
retaining system.
3) Access to the "crawlspace" area between the building and soil-nail
wall should be provided, and the space should be adequately ventilated.
4) The soil-nail wall transitions to a "Hazard Wall" and structural slab
system which abuts the building at the upper grade. Soil-nail walls are
generally considered flexible walls and some lateral movement should be
anticipated. We believe that a horizontal isolation joint is needed between
the building andhazard wall/structural slab.
5) The calculations provide no information regarding the loads or
design of the "HazardWall."
6) The retaining walls at the east and west end of Building A were
desigaed for an active lateral soil pressure of 35 pcf and not an at-rest
Middle Creek Affordable Housing
August 1,2003
Page two
pressure of 50 pcf. Either adequate space for rotation should be provided,
or the walls should be designed for the higher pressure.
7) The Geotechnical Engineer specifically wams against supporting
footings on backfilled areas of retaining walls. This condition occurs in
several locations for the stair structure and secondary retaining walls on
the west end. It also appears to occur within the interior portions of the
building wherever a thickened slab-footing meets a stem-wall tlpe
footing.
This completes our review comments fbr Building A. We will continue our
examination of the remainder of the project and will endeavor to identify other
concerns as soon as possible.
Please call me if you have any questions. I am, of course, available to discuss the
issues with the Engineer of Record.
Sincerely,
/tru.ym^tt,

Hougland and Associates dated July 8, 2003 for Building B of the Middle Creek Affordable
Housing Project.
Building Code Comments:
All units on the ground floor of Building B are Type 'B' Dwelling units conforming to
ICC/ANSI 117.1 (1998). The enclosed dimensioned plan for these units documents the
specific usability criteria and clearances. 1997 UBC Section I106 provides identical
criteria to ICC/ANSI I 17.l(1998)
According to Section 1005.3.3.6 of the ICBO Handbook to the Uniform Building
Code: an illustrative commentary, "the use of [a space beneath an exit enclosure]
is prohibited only if it occurs inside the exit enclosure. If the protective
construction of the exit enclosure can be arranged so that it intervenes between
the space under the stair and the stairway or ramp itself, that space is no longer in
the exit enclosure and is usable" (see attached). The mechanical space located
under Stair 8209/8309 is separated from the exit enclosure by a one ( I ) hour
separation and access is provided by doors separate from the exit enclosure.
The west stairway 8200/8300 is an exterior stairway complying with Section
1006.3.3 of the UBC and with the IBC 2000 equivalency study created by Mr.
Perry Matthews and shown on sheet A0.4 of the permit set. The equivalency
study recommends that exterior exit stairways shall be open on at least one side
with a minimum of 35 square feet of aggregate area adjacent to each floor level
and adjacent landing. The north stairway B2O9|B309 is an interior exit enclosure
complying with Section 1005.3.3 of the UBC. Per the exception noted in Section
1.

Middle Creek Housing - Response to Building A Building Code Comments dated
July 8,2003 by Hougland and Associates.
Dear Mr. Hougland:
Please find below Odell Architects, P.C.'s response to the building code comments provided by
Hougland and Associates dated July 8, 2003 for Building A of the Middle Creek Affordable
Housing Project.
Building Code Comments:
The specifications section will be revised to include: "These provisions are not to be
interpreted to supercede the duties and responsibilities of the special inspectors as
specified under the 1997 UBC, Section 1701.3: Duties and Re.sponsibilities of the Special
Inspector".
Restroom Al I I has been revised to provide clearance for the accessible water
closet. See revised drawing 4/A3.3.
The four studio units (Unit A) on the ground floor of Building A are Type 'B'
dwelling units conforming to ICC/ANSI 117.1 (1998). The enclosed dimensioned
plan for these units documents specific usability criteria and clearances. 1997
UBC Section 1106 provides identical criteria to ICC/ANSI I 17.l(1998). The
three-bedroom unit (Unit N) is inaccessible due to excessive sloping of the site.
As Group A, Division 3 occupancy is a more stringent occupancy classification
than Group B occupancy, the code review is not affected by changing the
Community Room and leasing office to Group B occupancy. This change will be
reflected on Sheet A0.2 of the revised permit set Odell Architects will submit to
Charlie Davis.

Dear Mr. Hougland:
Please find below Odell Architects, P.C.'s response to the building code comments provided by
Hougland and Associates dated July 24, 2003 for Building C of the Middle Creek Affordable
Housing Project. We have received 3 separate groups of comments, dated July 21,23 and 24'h,
2003. This response is chronological to those comments.
Building Code Comments:
(July 2l email)
l. All exterior stairs in Bldg. C will be prefabricated metal construction.
2. As per Perry Matthews equivalency code design, the stairs are designed under IBC
1005.3.6.2. This requires one side wall of the stair to have 35SF open space adjacent to
each level and landing. Our stair design reflects this requirement. We will document this
and submit to the Fire Department prior to Building Permit.
2. Using IBC Table 704.8, we are allowed 25Vo of wall area to be unprotected openings.
Our walls in question meet this requirement.
(July 23 email)
4. We will change the door swings at doors P301 and C101.
5. Area separation walls extend to sheathing, we will extend the 2HR exterior wall
(perpendicular to the Area Sep. wall) to the sheathing as well, creating a contained space.
If required to extend the Area Sep. wall into the soffit, we will do so with a 4-hour wall
construction utilizing mtl. studs and gyp. bd.
, rt * . Middle Creek Affordabl" Hoe - euilding Code Comments Response- Paze 2 of 2
6. We will substitute 3'-0" hold open doors for the 4'-0" door indicated.
7. In a meeting with the Vail Fire Department, the Town Building Official, and the
architect, the use of the IBC Table 704.8 was accepted as a way to look at the sihration at
Buildings B and C, where site restraints created a tight adjacency. This allows the use of
unprotected openings for up to l57o for sepuation distances of up to 15', and 25Vo for
separation distances form 15' to 20'.
8. In answer to design issues from the Design Review Board, we used the exception of the
IBC 1005.3.6.2 for the exterior stairs, allowing us to create a "stair tower" look, with
punched openings.
(July 24 email)
9. Ground floor units are designed to be Type B.
10. Attached to this response are sheets A3.1, A3.2,, A3.3, and A 3.4. The plans indicate the
accessibility ofthe units based on ANSI I17.1, Sheet 3.4 specifically details the design of
the Type A units.
I l. The amount of storage provided that would be accessible is over 7z of the number of
storage units. The storage would be accessed through the garage.
12. The height of the top floor is 72'-0" above the lowest Fire Department access. There is no
habitable space above this level, and we will confirm that the Vail Fire Department
agrees with this assessment.
