Re: Phase III — V Code Review Comments
Vail Mountain Lodge Expansion and Renovation
Dear Gary:
Attached are responses for Architectural, Structural, Mechanical and Electrical to plan
review comments dated May 14, 2001 on Full Phase III — V Permit Documents for Vail
Mountain Lodge, Expansion and Renovation. Please see the Phase III Permit Documents
` Dated August 1, 2001 for reduced Phase III scope. Items which are no longer included as
part of Phase III work, will be resolved in future phases.
ARCHITECTURAL
1, la and lb We are approved to consider the building as a four story building with the
two Health Club Levels defined as Basements. The grade exceeds 12' -0"
along the south face only above the spa area. This area represents only 28
percent of the total building perimeter. Fires will not be fought from in spa
area, therefore, the Upper Level Health Club on Sheet A3 -2, should be
considered a basement level. Please see attached letter from Glenn
Hoynoski, P.E. dated October 5, 2000.
2 On Sheet L2 -0, the wetlands and the park area to the south is deeded Town
of Vail land and is dedicated open space
3 On Sheet L2 -0, The separation measured to centerline of road on the North
side is 25 feet and on the East side is 31 feet. To the south, the public land is
greater than 60 feet.
4 On Sheet A3 -2, property lines are correct as shown. The Existing parking
garage does extend beyond the property line.
5 On Sheets A3 -3 through A3 -6, the renovated areas are provided with
operable windows or doors which meet the egress requirements for Escape
or Rescue windows in sleep rooms. The windows are accessible, by the fire
department, from the garage roof.
6 N/A Sheets A3 -1 through A3 -7 have been revised and resubmitted to
clarify scope of work for Phase III renovations, dated 08/01/01.

RE: CODE ISSUES
VAIL MOUNTAIN RESORT
Gary:
project. This letter is to respond to issues raised during the Town of Vail review process of the subject
The first issue of concern is the classification of the first story and the impact upon the required Type
of Construction. The plan review indicates that the Upper Health Club level of the project must qualify as
a basement. The expressed concern is that the distance above grade for the first floor exceeds 12' along
a relatively small portion of the south elevation. We agree that the UBC is clear in the definition of a
applicable story, however, this interpretation for this building seems impractical. The UBC Handbook
suggests that each case should be judged individually based on characteristics of the site and construction.
One of the more significant concerns is the issue of emergency access to the building and fire
fighting operations. According to our review only 28% of the overall building perimeter exceeds the 12'
Provision exclusively on the south elevation. It should be pointed out that the building is primarily accessed
by both the public, as well as emergency services on the north, east and west sides. The south side
adjoining Gore Creek is not generally considered as accessible.
The 12' height is exceeded slightly (16') and does not exceed 50% of the perimeter. In order to
minimize this condition, the grade elevation will be increased lo satisfy the 12' criteria along the south side
except in the area of the outdoor whirlpool, refer to Addendum #2. Since the building is not readily
accessible on the south side; the provision for determination for classification of the first story should be
waived allowing the building to be renovated as Type 11 - 1 hour construction.
The second issue concerns the 3 -story communicating space which exists between the Lower
Health Club, Upper Health Club, and the first floor. It is recognized that the UBC limits the number of
communicating levels to two (2). The principal basis for the code restriction is to limit the potential for fire
spread through a building, as well as minimize the impact of smoke travel and the impact on the evacuation
capability of the building occupants.

The design element in question is a 6' diameter circular opening (28 ft.2) located between the Lower
H ealth Club level and the Upper Health Club level. Refer to the partial building section attached.
Due to the limited size of the opening, it does not qualify as an atrium per Table 4 -A of the UBC.
Based upon the above, we propose to provide the following safeguards to mitigate the safety risks
associated with the installation of the opening between floors:
• The installation of a draft stop located at the ceiling level of the Lower Health Club level with
the installation of closely spaced 6' o.c. quick response sprinklers around the perimeter.
2. The installation of passive smoke vents at the ceiling /roof level at the first floor level. These
vents would be activated by either of the following:
a. Smoke detectors located at ceiling of the bar on the first floor level.
b. Manual switching located at the proposed fire command center to be controlled by
the fire department personnel.
We believe that the installation of the above safeguards will provide an acceptable equivalency to
permit the above mentioned opening between floors and provide an acceptable level of occupant safety.
Please advise if you have any additional questions on !he proposed alternatives.

E. Height & Number of Stories: See Review Comment No. 1
Architectural Review
L 2 -0 : The height of the building needs to be resolved with regard to total
number of stories above grade as altered by the new penthouse units
added to the top floor. UBC 506 & 3403
a) A 5 -1 & L 2-0: Area to be re- graded at the exterior spa pool will
leave this portion of the south yard at Water Elevation = 8160',
which is more than 12 ft. below the main floor at Elevation
8177.33'; thereby disqualifying the contiguous floor level as a
basement. UBC 220 & 208, Definitions of "Story" and "Grade.
b) The Penthouse additions thereby cause the building to exceed
the maximum allowable 4 story height for an R -1 occupancy in
a Type II - 1 HR building. UBC 506 & Table 5 -B.
2. L 2 -0 : Verify that wetlands and park area on adjacent property south of the
building is public space usable as an open yard greater than 60' applicable
to floor area increase and fire department approach. Otherwise building
has no usable yard clearance to the property line on this side. UBC 505. 1.1
3. L 2 -0 : Building requires sufficient open yards on 3 sides to justify allowable
floor area on no more than 4 stories above grade. The parking garage and
Health Club Lower Level are considered below grade. UBC 505.1.2
4. A 3 -2 : The existing underground Garage is shown extending beyond the
North property line into the street ROW at East Meadow Drive. Are property
lines correct as shown? UBC 106.3.1
5. A 3-3: New Bedroom windows on north side open onto yard supported by
the Garage roof underground. Verify existing roof is adequate for
emergency rescue by Fire Department to all new windows on this side of
the building, including the new penthouse units. UBC 310.4
6. A 3 -1 thru A 3.7 : The keynotes and general notes are the same on each
sheet. Since keynotes are not flagged on the plan; the new work of Phases
III - V is difficult to separate from existing areas outside of the scope.

doors at 101 & 102. UBC 1004.2.3 & 1004.2.4
13. A 3 -2 & A 6 -5 : New Elevator opens into the egress route from the
Restaurant (Dining) area to Stair 208. The Elevator opening must be
equipped with a smoke and draft seal; or be separated from the Dining
Room by a Lobby. UBC 1004.3.3.5 & 711.4
14. A 6 -6 : Door 308C appears to be a non - conforming required exit for the new
Restaurant occupants from the lower level. Address door width at top of

PLAN REVIEW COMMENTS & CORRECTIONS, VAIL MOUNTAIN LODGE
(FORMER VAIL ATHLETIC CLUB), PERMIT #1301 -02539 PHASE 1119 352
W. MEADOW DRIVE.
1. Reference Documents. Please refer to plan review report by C -West Code Consultants, Inc.
dated 2/14/01, and Davis Partnership Architects response dated 7/20/01. All commitments
made in the response to the C -West plan review report are considered to be conditions of
approval for Permit #B01 -0253. Note that subsequent phases of the Vail Mountain Lodge
project are also subject to the code requirements contained in the C -West Code Consultants,
Inc. report and the requirements listed below.
2. Interpretations. Due to the facts that this is an existing building and this project has had
various previous Town of Vail Design Review Board (DRB) and Planning and
Environmental Commission (PEC) approvals which require a specific exterior appearance
and the use of wood on the exterior, that the building has been the subject of a life safety
analysis and fire protection engineering report by High Country Engineering, and for various
other reasons, the following code interpretations have been made:
a. Type II 1 -Hour Construction. The building will be considered as having two levels of
basements and four stories, permitting the building to be classified as Type 1 1 1 -Hour
construction. Much of the existing building meets the requirements for the next higher
type of construction, Type II -F.R. Notable exceptions are that regular plywood roof
sheathing is in place over much of the roof and most of the floor - ceiling assemblies
cannot technically meet the Type II -F.R. requirements for a 2 -hour fire- resistive
assembly primarily due to the webs of the existing steel open web floor joists being too
light in gauge to achieve a 2 -hour rating. For practical purposes regarding emergency
access, the fact that a portion of one side of the upper basement exceeds the height above
grade of the UBC definitions for basements and stories has little, if any, effect, on
emergency access. See also the High Country Engineering fire protection engineering
report dated 10/5/2000 and the previous life safety issues analysis by High Country
Engineering.
b. Exterior Wood. A limited amount of certain types of wood will be permitted to be used
on the exterior, as detailed below.
3. Use of Wood on the Exterior:
a. Siding. All wood siding used on the building, regardless of its location and height above
grade, is to be factory fire - retardant - treated wood meeting the UBC definition and
standard for "Fire- Retardant - Treated Wood" found under Section 207, 1997 UBC.
Siding is to otherwise "...be placed either directly against noncombustible surfaces or
furred out from such surfaces not to exceed 1- 5/8" with all concealed spaces fire blocked
as provided in Section 708." One way that this requirement can be met is to apply fire -
resistive exterior gypsum sheathing underneath the siding.
b. Trim. All trim, including fascia boards, is to be at least "2 X" nominal in dimension.
c. Ornamentation. Larger wooden ornamentation, i.e., corbels, "brackets," etc. are to be at
least "4 X" nominal material and larger.
d. Soffits. Any wooden horizontal soffits are to be backed by noncombustible materials or
solid "2 X" wood blocking covered by 5/8" exterior fire - resistive gypsum sheathing with
any wooden soffit materials to be either approved, factory fire- retardant - treated wood OR
m
treated with an approved, exterior flame retardant treatment to achieve a Class "A" (UBC
Class I) flame spread rating.
e. Eaves. All exterior walls are to be built "tight to the deck" to attempt to prevent the
spread of an exterior fire into the eaves and roof structure. The underside of any existing
plywood roof sheathing that is exposed during construction will be treated with an
approved interior flame retardant treatment to obtain a Class "A" (UBC Class I) flame
spread rating. Approved insulation materials will be blown into joist spaces to serve as
fire blocking within the joist cavities of the roof assembly. In accordance with Section
707.3, 1997 UBC, kraft paper backing is not permitted to be used in Type II buildings.
Any vapor retarders used must meet the flame spread and smoke developed rating
requirements of Section 707.
f. Guardrails. The proposed rough- sawn - cedar- covered balcony guard rails are EITHER
to be constructed of approved factory fire- retardant - treated wood OR treated with an
exterior flame retardant treatment to achieve a Class "A" (UBC Class I) flame spread
rating. The flame retardant treatment is also to be protected from ultra- violet degradation
by an approved finish treatment. The applicant is to follow up by submitting a proposal
for the treatment of the guard rail materials to the building official for review and
approval.
g. Shutters. The proposed window shutters are subject to the same requirements as item
"f' immediately above.
4. Miscellaneous. Any and all new wood installed as sheathing, backing, blocking, sleepers,
etc., within assemblies must be approved fire- retardant - treated wood. See Section 603. 1,
1997 UBC.

Vail, Colorado
In response to your letter dated August 27, 2002, please accept the following:
General: The permit application you are reviewing for this project is for "Core &
Shell ". Therefore, some of the internal construction will be clarified with
the "Tenant Finish" application drawings.
Item 1: We have copied the Civil Engineering package and the new "current ",
interim site plan. Shaw Construction will deliver 4 sets to you. The
interim site plan is for work this fall. The original approval for the total
project is still in effect & will need to be "accounted for" as we
complete the various phases.
Item 2: The current application has windows that are not hazardous locations.
Also there are doors and sidelights that are hazardous. We will submit a
schedule of windows and doors as soon as we receive compliance from
"Built Best" the manufacturer.
Item 3 & 4: We do not have attics in this phase "Core & Shell ". Attic ventilation and
access shall be addressed with the "Tenant Finish" package.
Item 5: The automatic sprinkling is "warehouse" design per current conditions.
We will maintain the existing during the "Core & Shell" construction.
The "Tenant finish" package shall be a design — build contract similar to
the west penthouse "Lubin" now virtually complete.

phone: 415.392.4433 fax: 415.392.4454 email: info @Resortl) esign.com www.Resortl) esign.com
Item 6: Concrete foundation for this area is existing. (M -N shall add a sheet S -5
for clarification of details in this area.)
Item 7: Level 3 (third floor) is existing with minor in.fil at north wall. Level 4
(fourth floor) is existing with significant modification. See sheets S -1.
Item 8: See general comment re: "Core & Shell" only for this application.
Item 9: We are not sure what you are asking. The Hotel exiting shall remain as it
is today per U.B.C. and approved plans. (Subject to Shaw furnishing the
approved construction.) This work does not modify existing egress
corridors or stairs.
Item 10: If interior "Tenant Finish" plans take over the employee housing unit, then
it will need to be replaced as a part of the P &Z, DRB and staff approvals.
Our original approval moved all 4 employee units to the first floor. Our
current interior preliminary plan leaves the employee unit as is.
Item 11: Exterior doors to balconies are only doors in this phase "Core & Shell ".
Schedule shall be provided with windows.
Item 12: Roof top — chimney exhaust look and forms are on DRB approval. Shafts
shall be extended and built to comply with current codes. We are not
exactly sure what assembly was approved for the floor below, however,
the new assembly must be compatible with the existing on below level.
Item 13: We will provide all egress separations with "Tenant Finish' package.
(Especially mech/attic /stair)
Item 14: Fire protection shall be "spray on" as currently approved or gypsum
board wrap - 2 layers '/2" type X — per existing conditions. Type II —
1 hour minimum standard.
item 15: Inter stair shall be steel structure & pan with concrete fill — same as West
Penthouse — Lubin. Details with "Tenant Finish' application.
Item 16: Per our site meeting with T.O.V. Building Inspection & Vail Fire Dept:
If we spray existing wood deck with fire retardant coating, fill the joist
space with insulations and complete all exterior wall assemblies tight to
underside of deck, then this would comply as approved mitigation for
"exception to the rule ". This is the approved process from Phase III of
this project. Also, we are placing Y2" exterior type X gypsum sheathing on
top of the roof deck with fire rated shingles to complete the fire assembly.
2
Item 17: The fire alarm system shall be extended from the "main building" and
shall be a "design building" submittal with the "Tenant Finish"
applications.
We are currently working to complete the "Tenant Finish" submittal. Hopefully, we may
tore & Shell" so as to be enclosed for the winter.
