The existing grade is measured from a point midway between the front wall and the rear wall of the building as per definition. This elevation appears to be closer to 976 to 977 depending on the lateral location. The figure you represent (975) appears to be at the rear wall. In comparing the existing elevations between your survey and the Mc Shane survey submitted to us today, it appears both surveys reflect the same pre-existing elevations. A copy of this survey is available for you to review. Dick Hampleton, the architect for the Mc Shane project, did show us several options he will be presenting to the owner for approval. One option radically alters the framing on the second floor lowering the plate height for this floor and altering the roof framing to come within the building height requirements. Other options could require a variance to be submitted to the county prior to any approvals. Presently there are not any formal submittals to the county for us to review in closer detail; but, it appears there could be an option that reduces the overall height of the structure substantially. Once a amendment is submitted, it will be available for review. Prior to a C.O., we will require a surveyor to verify the as built conditions meet the approved plans Finally, the county's only requirement for all building permit applicants is that they meet the county's zoning and building requirements, PUD zoning and/or plat notes . Typically, covenants and DRC review are not the responsibility of the county to enforce. We will contact you once an amendment is submitted by Mc Shane. Please call if you have any questions.

He has been asked to contact the DRB regarding this issue and has not responded. As I'm sure you are aware, this is not just a county matter. It is a Stirling Ranch Design Review Committee matter as well. There have been numerous mis-representations made to the Design Review Committee by the architect and until they are resolved to the satisfaction of the DRB and the Stirling Ranch Executive Board, there exists no valid sign off by the board, which as you know, is required before the county can issue (or re -issue) a building permit. It is our contention that the house is out of compliance with the Stirling Ranch Design Guidelines as well as the Garfield County height limit by roughly 7 FEET. (see South elevation below) If you overlay the original "Lines in Space" topographic survey on the submitted site plan (attachment #2) it is easy to see that the existing ground elevation in the middle of the South elevation, beneath the 2 story section, is at elevation 975.00. (as marked) If you project up 25 ft. you end up with a mark on the wall of the second floor at roughly 4'. 9" above the finished floor. (1st attachment) • The 3rd attachment shows the outline of the building on the un -manipulated topography. This matter can not be fully resolved until the conditions of the DRB have been met.

It is my understanding that a re -design of the second story of the house is underway to bring it into county compliance as to the 25 ft height restriction. I would like permission to continue work on the portion of the house that is in compliance, the living room, kitchen and dining areas. Hayes Construction will perform no work whatsoever on the master wing of the house, main or second floor, until the county has approved a plan to bring it into compliance, and re -issued a full permit.
