During the process a dispute arose over interpretation on some finer points in the Garfield County Code about whether or not we were allowed to exceed the building envelope with normal eaves or not. To expedite the process, rather than engage in protracted negations, we decided to try to realign the envelope. The lot is small and we needed to be able to use the entire envelope to build our house. The solution we decided on was to realign the envelope from a parallelogram shape to a more rectangular shape. This process did not encroach on GC setbacks, and actually made the area of the building envelope smaller but more usable. During the process of the realignment, our architect, Dean Sparaco, worked with Glen Hartmann from your office. Mr. Hartmann was very helpful throughout the process. We had the concurrence of the neighbors and the Design Review Committee. During this process it became apparent that we (Sandi and I) were not going to be able to complete the process, and further that we felt we were not in a position to change our lifestyle enough to be able to live in accordance with the myriad rules and regulations in place in Aspen Glen, so we notified the Design Review Committee we were terminating the review process and that our lot was going on the market. I told Mr. Sparaco I would finish the recording process with the realignment, and then failed to do so Yesterday, Mr. Hartmann called me and said that due to the length of time involved (we started the process on March 14,2Ol4) that he was going to administratively close the file, and told me if I wished to continue I should write to you and ask to continue, hence the purpose of this letter. I left messages for Mr. Sparaco yesterday and this morning, but I know he is working on a large project near Meeker, and may be out of cell coverage etc. If you approve, I will work with Mr. Hartmann (or whomever you direct) to conclude this process.
