sink in the bathroom, in such close proximity, we don't need this kitchenette sink to comply to accessibility clearances? #2) If we ARE required to provide this sink as ADA accessible,
Exception 606.2.1 in ANSI standards allows a parallel approach to a kitchen sink, kitchens with no cooking devices. Would this be an acceptable route if#l is not an option? Thanks for

Dear Andy: KENNETH BALCOMS ( ! 920·2005) Or COUNSI':L: JOHN A. THULSON This firm represents Old Red Barn, LLC, the owner of the property for which the referenced building permit has
been issued. As such, we have been provided a copy of your e-mail dated June 23, 2010 to Jeff Ellis purporting to issue a stop work order for the subject project. It is our opinion that
the facility being constructed does not meet the delinition of equestrian center set forth in the Garlield County Land Use Regulation. Construction of the project was ongoing pursuant
to a building permit properly and lawfully issued by your office. As such, the directive to stop work contained in your e-mail was not appropriate and we respectfully request that such

CHAPTER 4 General Requirements Chapter 4 was created during the Manual of Style reformatting of NFPA 13. Chapter 4 contains the general requirements that apply to all of NFPA 13. Items
covered in Chapter 4 include level of protection, limited area systems, and owners' certificates. 4.1 Level of Protection A building, where protected by an automatic sprinkler system
installation, shall be provided with sprinklers in all areas except where specific sections of this standard permit the omission of sprinklers. The oldest and most important design rule
of NFPA 13, as stated in Section 4.1, is that sprinklers should be installed in all areas of a building. The few exceptions to this rule are associated with specific conditions and are
relatively new revisions to the standard. Some of those ",ho use NFPA 13 are under the impression that certain areas, such as electrical equipment rooms, closets, bank vaults, or walk-in
coolers and freezers, do not require sprinklers. However, unless a specific paragraph in Chapter 5 gives explicit permission to omit sprinklers, sprinklers are required in all spaces
of a building. The SUCCess of a sprinkler system largely depends on the size of the fire when the first few sprinklers activate. If the fire grows to a relatively large size before sprinklers
operate, the likelihood of successful sprinkler system performance in terms of fire control or fire suppression is significantly reduced. Sprinkler systems designed in accordance with
NFPA 13 are not intended to prevent a fire in an unsprinklered area from spreading into a sprinklered area. 4.2 Limited Area Systems <41 FAQ If NFPA 13 does not specifically state that
sprinklers are required in a particular area, are sprinklers required? Section 4.2 acknowledges that certain codes or local ordinances might permit the installation ~ of a partial or
limited area sprinkler system. For example, NFPA IOI®, Life Safety Code®, recognizes a limited area sprinkler system in certain residential occupancies. This type of system is installed
in the corridors along with one sprinkler just inside the door of each dwelling unit. This system is intended to provide additional time for the occupants to escape. Such a system cannot
be expected to control a fire so as to minimize property damage, and therefore property damage would most likely be quite severe. 4.2.1 When partial sprinkler systems are installed,
the requirements of this standard shall be used insofar as they are applicable. 4.2.2 The authority having jurisdiction shaH be consulted in each case. n

plumbing fixture count based on the following: April 16,2010 We have been granted a 300 s.f.!occupant allowance for the Arena and Stables to calculate occupant load based on an Agricultural
building. We have calculated the occupant loads for the Viewing Room based on 15 s.f.loccupant per the I.B.C. Using these calculations the building has an occupant load of 201. Occupant
Loads: Space: Arena Viewing Room Stables Building total: Occupancy Calculation: 1/300 1/15 1/300 Occupants: 96 Occupants 20 Occupants 85 Occupants 201 Occupants I.B.C. Section 2902.1
"Types of occupancies not shown in Table 2902.1 shall be considered individually by the building official:' There is not a classification for Agricultural buildings in the I.B.C. table
2902.1 for plumbing fixture calculations. According to the I.B.C. section 2902.3 (commentary), "The split ratios in table 2902.1 were established for high density assembly occupancies
.. :' According to the I.B.C. table 1004.1.2, Uses designated 300 s.f./occupant are Agricultural, Airport terminal, Mercantile, and Accessory. Other than Agricultural, the use of this
project aligns closest with Mercantile, as it is not a high density occupancy. We request, for calculating the plumbing fixture counts, that the building be classified as Mercantile,
No.6 on table 2902.1. This occupancy is required to provide 1 water closet for male and female /500 occupants. We are proposing to provide more than triple this amount throughout the

11I"f'r-CTL I THOMPSON December 1, 2009 Melissa Wight P.O. Box 1561 Aspen, CO 81612 Subject: Soils and Foundation Investigation Missouri Heights Arena/Barn 5644 County Road 100 Garfield
County, Colorado Project No. GS05435-125 Revised This letter presents the results of our soils ami foundation investigation for the proposed Missouri Heights Arena/Barn to be located
at 5644 County Road 100 in Garfie ld County, Colorado. The purpose of our investigation was to eva luate the subsurface conditions at the site and provide geotechnical engineering recommendations
for the anticipated construction. Our recommendations were developed from data obtained during our fie ld exploration and laboratory testing, engineering analysis and our experience
with similar conditions. Site Conditions The site for the proposed arena/barn is at an existing res idence located at 5655 County Road 100 in Garfield County, Colorado. The structure
wi ll be constructed south of the existing residence in pasture land for horses. The site is relatively flat, sloping down to the south at grades of about 5 percent. Vegetation at the
site consists of sparse weeds and grasses. Anti cipated Construction The proposed arena/barn will be approximately 200 feet wide and 300 feet long. We un derstand the structure will
be a stee l·framed structure, with the floor being primarily sand, with some slab·on.grade areas. We understand that living and below-g rade areas will not be present in the arena/barn.
We expect maximum foundation excavation depths of about 4 feet, for frost protection. Foundation loads for the structure are expected to be between 1,000 and 3,000 pounds per lineal
foot of foundation. If construction w ill differ sign ificantly from the descriptions above, we should be informed so that we can adjust our recommendations and design criteria, if necessary.
, ,
Subsurface Conditions To investigate subsurface conditions at the site, we dri lled two exploratory borings (TH-1 and TH-2) at the approximate locations shown on Figure 1. Borings were
dril led using a 4-inch diameter, solid-stem auger and a track-mounted dril l ri(). Drilling operations were directed by our laboratory/field manager who logged the so ils encountered
in the borings and obtained samples. Grapllic logs of the soi ls encountered in our exploratory borings arc shown on Figure 2. Subsurface conditions found in our exp loratory borings
consisted of about 1 foot of sandy clay topsoil underlain by natural sandy clay to the maximum explored depth of 25 feet. We found a 3 foot lense of clayey sand at a depth of 19 feet
in our boring TH-1. Our observations and f ield penetration resistance tests ind icated the clay was stiff to very stiff. Free ground water was not fou nd in our exploratory borings
at the time of excavation. Exploratory borings were backfilled immediately after exploratory excavation operations were completed. Atterberg limits on samples of the clay tested were
liquid limits between 27 and 48 percent and a plasticity indices between 10 and 20 percent. Tested samples contained between 76 and 85 percent silt and clay size particles (passing the
No. 200 sieve). Two samples of the clay se lected for one-dimensional swell consol idation testing exhibited no movement when wetted under an applied load of 1,000 psf. A third sample
swelled 0.2 percent when wetted. Swell-consoli dation test results are shown on Figures 3 through 5. Laboratory test resu lts are summarized on Table I. Earthwork Excavation depths of
about 4 feet are anticipated for frost protection. We anticipate that excavations can be accomplished using conventional, heavy-duty excavation equipment. Sides of excav ations wi ll
need to be sloped or braced to meet local, state and federal safety regulations. We expect the soils will classify as a Type B soil based on OSHA standards governing excavations. Temporary
slopes deeper that 5 feet that are not retained should be no steeper that 1 to 1 (horizo ntal to vertical) in Type B soils according to OSHA standards. Backfill adjacent to foundation
walls should be properly moisture treated and densified and to prevent excess ive infiltration of surface water. The on-site natural soils free of organics are suitable for reuse as
backfill. Backfill should be placed in lifts of 10 inches thick or less, moisture-treated, and compacted to at least 95 percent of standard Proctor (ASTM D 698) maximum dry density.
We recommend that density of backfill be checked during placement. Foundations Our subsurface information indicates the natural sandy clay will be present at proposed foundation elevations.
We recommend supporting the structure on MEUSSt, WIGHT M1SS0UR! IIEIGHT ARENA/BARN PROJECT NO. GS05<l35-120 REVISED S:\GSO~4J~ 0001120'-3 Ll'ltllls1GSOS4)5 120 L2 (Ioe 2 tf·F1.I,r I·
· , footing foundations that are supported by the natural, undisturbed clay soil. A representative of our finn should be called to observe conditions in the completed foundation excavation
to confirm that the exposed soils are as anticipated and suitable of the designed foundations. Design and construction criteria for footing foundations are presented below. 1. Footing
foundations shou ld be supported by the undisturbed, natural clay soil. Soils loosened during excavation should be removed prior to placing concrete. 2. Footings supported by the undisturbed,
natural clay can be designed for a maximum soil bearing pressure of 2,000 psf. 3. Continuous wall footings shou ld have a minimum width of at least 16 inches. Foundations for isolated
columns should have minimum dimensions of 24 inches by 24 inches. Larger s izes may be required, depending upon foundation loads. 4. Grade beams and foundation walls should be well re
inforced, top and bottom, to span undisclosed loose or soft soil pockets. We recommend reinforcement sufficient to span an unsupported distance of at least 10 feet. Reinforcement should
be designed by the structural engineer. 5. The soi ls under exterior footings should be protected from freezing. We recommend the bottom of footings be constructed at a depth of at least
36 inches below finished exterior grades for frost protection. The Garfield County building department should be called to verify frost protection depth requirements. Floor System and
Siabs-on-Gracle The floors in the arena/barn will consist primarily of sand, with some areas having slab-on-grade floors. Qur subsurface information ind icates that slab-ongrade construction
can be supported by the natural clay soil with low potential risk of differential movement. Backfill below exterior slabs-on-grade will settle. We recommend the following precautions
for s lab-on-grade construct ion at this site. 1. Slabs should be separated from wall footings and column pads with slip jOints which allow free vertical movement of the slabs. 2. Underslab
plumbing should be pressure tested for leaks before the slabs are poured. Plumbing and utilities which pass through slabs should be isolated from the slabs with sleeves ancl provided
with flexible couplings to slab-supported appliances. MELISSA WIGHT /,1JSSOUHI I-IEIGHT AR£NN BAHN PROJECT NO. G$05435· 120 HEVI $EO S \GS0541.S.000. \ ZOI3. L~II\Hs\GS05415 120 L2.doc

3_ Exterior patio and porch slabs should be isolated from the structure_ These slabs should be well-reinforced to function as independent units. 4. Frequent control joints should be
provided, in accordance with American Concrete Institute (ACI) recommendations, to reduce problems associated with shrinkage anel curling. Below Gracie Construction We understand that
below-grade areas are not planned at this time. We should be informed if construction plans change to include below-grade areas, so that we can provide recommendations for lateral earth
pressures, subsurface drainage, and other factors influenced by be low-grade constru ction. Surface Drainage Surface drainage is critical to the performance of foundations. Ground surface
should be sloped to direct runoff away from the structure. Backfill adjacent to foundation walls should be moisture conditioned and compacted as recommended in the Earthwork section.
Final Design ConSU ltation and Construction Observation Th is report has been prepared for the exclusive use of Melissa Wight for the purpose of providing geotechnical criteria for the
proposed project. T he information, conclus ions and recommendations presented herein arc based upon the cons iderations of many factors including, but not limited to, the type of structure
proposed, the configu ration and location of the structure, the geologic setting, and the subsurface conditions encountered. The conclusions and recommendations conta ined in the report
are not valid for use by others. It is recommended that CTL I Thompson, Inc. be retained to provide general review of the final construction plans prior to construction. Our firm should
also be retained to provide geotechnical engineering and material testing during construction. The purpose is to observe t he construction with respect to the geotechnical design co
nce pts, specificat ion s or recommendations, and to facilitate design changes in areas where the subsurface conditions differ from those anticipated prior to start of construction.
Geotechnica l Risk The concept of risk is an important aspect of any geotechnical eva lu at ion. The primary reason for this is that the ana lytica l methods used to develop geotechnical
recommendations do not comprise an exact science. The analytic al tools which geotechnica l engineers use are generally empirical and must be tempered by engineering judgment and expe
rience. Therefore, the so lutions or recommendations presented in any geotechnical evaluation should not be considereei risk-free and, more importantly, are not a guarantee that the

in teraction between the soils and the proposed structure will perform as desired or intended. What the engineering recommendations presented in the preceding sections do constitute
is o ur estimate, based on the information generated during this and previous evaluations and our experience in working with these conditions, of those measures that are necessary to
help the development perform satisfactorily. The owner must understa nd this conce pt of risk, as it is they who must decide what is an acceptable level of risk for these stru ctures.
Limitations Our exploratory borings were located to obta in a reaso nably acc urate picture of subsurface conditions be low the proposed structure site. Variations in the subsurface
cond itions not indicated by our borings will occur. Th is investigation was cond ucted in a manner consistent with that level of care and skill ordinarily exercised by geotechnical
engineers current ly practicing under similar cond itions in the locality of this project. No warra nty, ex press or impl ied, is made. If we can be of further service in discussin g
