Jason,
We discussed the gazebo at our staff meetíng yesterday. We cannot approve any further encroachments ¡nto the 35ft.
setback from the high water mark as required by section 7-203 Protection of Water Bodies. lt would appear the gazebo
is a legal nonconforming structure due to a port¡on of it being in both the required setback and also the 100 year
floodplain. Allowing the new construction to further encroach or become more non-conforming is counter to the code
as per section LO-t-2 A of the Land Use and Development Code adopted by the county.
Replacement of the roof and other improvements not in the setback or floodplain as per your approved building plans
are O.K. to proceed with. Any landscape work within the floodplain could require a floodplain review and possibly a
permit. Please contact Glenn Hartmann our floodplain administrator if you anticipate any work in the 100 year
floodplain.
Please call with any questions or comments. We will be issuing the building permit later today with the above
conditions attached.
Thanks,
Andy Schwaller

Good morning Andy -
Per your request, I am emailing you the information we spoke about on the phone regarding the wood fired pizza oven
at the Price project (which we have already submitted for). From what I understand, Colorado Revised Statute 25-7-40L
(the county has adopted this for wood burning stoves) is based off the EPA Phase ll Devise standards... which are meant
for fireplaces/stoùes, not appliances. The EPA has never tested appliances, therefore no standards exist.
The intent of this wood burning pizza oven is to use it occasionally in the summer or early fall, and not ¡n the winter
months. This project, including the knowledge of the wood burning pizza oven, has already been approved by Aspen
Glen... they only asked that we run it by the county to make sure that it falls within their regulations.
ln speaking with the wood burningpizza oven manufacturer (Mugnaini), their wood burning ovens are very efficient and
use minimal amounts of wood for the process... the particulates that this oven will give off are much less than any fire-
pit you can buy from Walmart and set out on your back patio.
I hope this information helps, please let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks Andy
Rich

Jason,
We reviewed the grading permit application and pulled out the building permit set. lt appears a portion of the existing
gazebo is in the 100 flood plain and also in the 35 ft. river setback required under section 7-2O3 ot the zoning
code. Older surveys of the lot also show a small portion of the building envelope possibly in the floodway at the location
of the gazebo. We could not find a floodplain permit related to the gazebo and are of the impression the structure is
non-conforming but legal. Any substantial changes to the structure within the 100 year floodplain would need a
floodplain permit at a m¡n¡mum. lt also could be further construction within the 35 ft. river setback is not allowed. We
need to check this with the legal department and the director at the next staff meet¡ng to determine. No construction
of this type is allowed in the floodway.
We will not be able to issue the grading permit or the building permit until the above items are addressed. Verification
of the 35 ft. setback, 100 year flood plain and actual floodway might also be a good idea. We will hold the plans until we
hear from you.
Thanks,
Andy Schwaller
