As requested, H-P/Kumar has reviewed the potential geologic hazards that could impact the site. Our findings are presented in this report. The services were performed in accordance with our proposal for professional engineering services to you dated April 30, 2018. Background Information: There is an existing storage structure constructed out of pre-cast concrete materials currently at the location of the proposed new storage building and partially retaining the hillside above. This structure will be removed prior to the construction of the proposed new storage building. The proposed new storage building will be a single-story structure, partially retaining the hillside above. Ground floor will be slab-on-grade. The distressed pavement around the existing golf maintenance shop building will be replaced. We understand that the existing grading at the site will not be significantly changed. We understand the geologic hazards review is needed for the submittal to the Town of Vail. Site Conditions: The terrain above the proposed new storage building is moderately steep down to the north at a grade of around 20 percent. The site has undergone some grading for the existing development. Vegetation in the area consists of native grass and brush and young to moderately mature aspen trees with scattered conifers. More mature aspens and conifers are located to the east of the proposed new storage building area. The slope above the proposed new storage building area to the south becomes steep to very steep up several hundred feet and is vegetated with thick aspen and evergreen trees. Several large boulders were observed just uphill of the existing storage structure and pavement areas. A steep, moderate-sized drainage outlets Vail Recreation District May 10, 2018 Page 2 just to the east of the subject site. Bedrock of the Minturn Formation outcrops on the steep mountainside slope well above the golf maintenance facilities. Geologic Hazards Review: Potential major geologic hazards that could impact the site consist of rockfall, debris avalanche and avalanche according to the Town of Vail mapping (Town of Vail, 2000a, 2000b and 2000c). The hazards are noted as medium severity for the rockfall potential, high severity for the debris avalanche potential, and possible influence for the avalanche potential. We generally agree with the mapping of hazards for the subject site. The rockfall hazard is due to the bedrock outcrops above the site and rockfalls are typically not frequent but can damage homes and property when larger rocks fall. Debris avalanches occur from very steep hillside and mountainside drainages due to heavy rainfall and sometimes are associated with snow-melt. Debris avalanches are not common in the Vail area but do occur. The debris avalanche hazard at the subject site is due to the drainage which currently outlets just to the east of the site. Avalanches occur from snow pack on steep slopes when weak layers of snow pack develop and/or additional heavy snow or precipitation add to the snow pack. Based on the young to moderate age of the aspen trees above the site, there have likely been previous avalanches in this area. The potential hazards appear to be active geologic processes at the subject site and in nearby areas, and should be expected in the future. However, without long term observations, it is not possible to develop a statistical recurrence probability of the hazards. We are not aware of recent debris avalanches or rockfall at the site. Although the probability that a debris avalanche, rockfall, or snow avalanche will hit the proposed new maintenance storage building is likely low, a debris avalanche, rockfall or snow avalanche has the potential to cause major damage to buildings with a risk of harm to the occupants. If this risk is not acceptable to the owner, then the feasibility of mitigation should be considered, especially on the south and sides of the development. Rockfall in the area has been mitigated with rockfall catching barriers, and debris avalanches and avalanches with soil berms or impact walls which may or may not be feasible at the site due to the limited area on the lot behind the storage building and the adjacent properties. The mitigation may need to extend beyond the property lines and encompass adjacent lots that are H-PtKUMAR Project No. 17-7-319 Vail Recreation District May 10, 2018 Page 3 subject to similar potential geologic hazards. The feasibility of mitigation should be evaluated by additional assessments for each potential hazard. If the owner does not plan to mitigate the potential geologic hazards and accepts the risk they may pose on the proposed new maintenance storage building, this may be feasible based on Town of Vail code provided the proposed new maintenance storage building and grading do not increase the existing rockfall, debris avalanche or avalanche hazards to adjacent properties including public streets, right-of-ways and easements. The proposed new maintenance storage building is planned to occupy the same site as the existing storage structure and the proposed pavement construction will not significantly change the grading at the subject site. We have reviewed the topographic survey of the subject site by Gore Range Surveying dated February 17, 2011. Based on the plan provided, in our opinion,the proposed construction and grading will not increase the existing rockfall, debris avalanche or snow avalanche hazards to adjacent properties including public streets, right-of-ways and easements or other properties. If proposed construction changes, we should review our findings. Limitations: This review was conducted in according to generally accepted geotechnical engineering principles and practices in this area at this time. We make no warranty either express or implied. The conclusions and recommendations submitted in this report are based upon the geologic hazard mapping by others, our field observations and our experience in the area. We are not responsible for technical interpretation of our findings by others. If you have any questions or need further assistance,please call our office. Sincerely, Robert L. Duran,E. I.

It is located over the existing footprint of the current shed and it will be replacing the existing shed which currently does not provide enoughSQFTfortheir storage needs. The proposed building will double the available storagespace and will be a more secure location for the equipment and tools.The existing structure was meant to be temporary and its demolition and replacement is overdue. The style and materials will match the neighboringMaintenance Building and its use supports the golf course and aims provide better and more secure storagefor the golf course equipment. There will be no permanent outdoor lig htingthat would contribute to light pollution and there are no utilities that would affect air quality. With no permanent occupancy,and existing parking being un- affected by the new footprint,the proposed facility would not affect traffic,public transportation,or pedestrian access and safety. There is clear access from Vail Valley Drive for maintenance and safety.The structure is not in a location that would hinder snow storageor removal from the public streets and parking areas. Parking is adequate on site for day-time parking of the staff. The primary objective is to provide better storageand security for the equipment,tools, and supplies used by the Vail Golf Course Staff.The scale of the proposed structure blends within the context of the site and neig hboringbuildings.It will be taller than the existing structure but still remain comparable in heightto the neig hboringbuilding.With the style and materials matching and complimenting the neig hboringStorageFacility,the proposed Maintenance Building will blend with the existing infrastructure and be a visual improvement on what was supposed to be a temporarystructure. Construction is anticipated to beg in September 17th and will last until June 30th. It will not affect the operation of the golf course's regular season.The existing square footage is approximately 1,249 SF and the proposed Maintenance Building will have 2,060 SF.
