EXHIBIT "B"
Introduction
The Beaver Creek Metropolitan District is responsible to provide
for fire protection in the Beaver Creek Subdivision. As such, it is
seeking to fulfill criteria to obtain the maximum fire protection
rating for the project. This would not only provide exceptional fire/
life safety protection for the community, but it would also minimize
insurance rates.
In order to achieve a maximum fire protection rating, the project
must demonstrate compliance in four areas:
1. Reliable water system.
2. Adequate fire fighting equipment and manpower.
3. Compliance with building construction codes and inclusion
of specific fire /smoke alarms and fire suppression systems.
4. Communications System linking fire /smoke alarms to a central
fire fighting dispatch facility.
The Beaver Creek Metropolitan District is committed to Items 1,
2 and 4 above. The following regulations and guidelines center around
Item 3, plus provisions for connecting to a central communications
system.
The District hereby establishes the Beaver Creek Fire Board,(here-
inafter the Fire Board). The board members shall include District's
Fire Chief, and representatives from the Beaver Creek Metropolitan
District, and Vail Associates /Risk Management. The Fire Board will
-1-
meet monthly to review fire protection matters. Any variances from
the regulations set forth will require written approval of the Fire
Board.
Variances shall be allowed only when it is demonstrated that
granting of the variance will cause no risk to the public safety and
that undue hardship or practical difficulty would otherwise result.
Fire Protection /Life Safetv Standards
Different criteria may apply to Beaver Creek Fire Protection/
Life Safety on project location. The Village Core (Tract A) is very
dense commercial area which must be fully sprinkled, alarmed and
monitored. Other locations as a minimum need only comply with
building codes, be monitored by the central dispatch facility, and
have emergency access' provisions (see paragraph 5), providing they
have no commercial function. Buildings within Tract A, and Buildings
outside Tract A with commercial functions shall comply with the
following criteria.
1. Fire Supression: All portions of all buildings shall be fully
sprinklered in accordance with Ordinary Hazard Group 2
of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Pamphlet #13
entitled "Sprinkler ". Electrical control rooms shall conform
with at least one of the following standards; a) electrical rooms
shall be fully sprinklered with raintight rated electrical equip-
ment specified. b) electrical rooms shall have a minimum of
-2-
3 hour fire rating. In both applications the following speci-
fications shall be included:
a. A main disconnect switch (raintight rated) be installed
either outside the electrical equipment room, or outside the
building.
b. A low voltage remote switch installed inside the electrical
equipment room near the door, and locally connected to a fixed
rate heat detector centrally mounted inside the room.
C. All electrical service in excess of 1000 amps. shall provide
single phase and ground fault protection.
d. A 17 lb. Halon 1211 extinguisher be installed just outside
of the door to the electrical equipment room.
Protection of areas inappropriate for sprinklering shall be
determined by the Fire Board.
2. Fire Fighting System:
a. Standpipes: Standpipe systems with hose cabinets shall be
installed in compliance with NFPA Pamphlet #14. The standpipes
shall be wet or dry depending upon their susceptibility to
freezing.

stair access and /or per use area on floor (i.e., kitchen, cafe/
banquet, retail, trash collection points, etc.) for precise Fire
Department response as approved by the fire chief. Separate

each supply and return duct system of air handling units over
2000 CFM. The control panel and annunciation panel shall be
located as directed by the Fire Department. Central building
