I have responded below to each: 1) Fire sprinkler system - thanks for the contact information. We did not anticipate that the square footage would be above the 3,600 sf threshold or would have included the sprinkler information. We'II get in contact with Ron and get it figured out. 2) Soils report - attached is our geotechnical report for the site. 3) Geologist report - the HP Geotech report does not have rockfall hazard explicitly stated. I am a registered Colorado Professional Engineer (Civil engineering). Would the County accept a stamped letter from me analyzing rockfall? Hazards are minimal. 4) Foundation plan - apologize that the F20 specification did not make it into the plans. F20 is a 20" width, continuous length, 10" thick wall with (2) #5 BOT longitudinal reinforcement. Is this information conveyed through email sufficient, or should we submit a revision sheet?

Regarding your question about the requirement for geohazard report, I spoke with Andy Schwaller, our Building Official and we prefer that this report come from an independent source, rather than something prepared by you. In several other instances within the past year at Springridge Reserve, HP Geotech has provided a 3-4 page follow-up to their original soils report and that may be the simplest & quickest solution for you as well. In regard to foundation detail/specs for F20, we can simply affix a copy of your email to the approved plans so you don't need to update the original plans for resubmittal. Once we receive the geohazard report from you, we should be able to finalize our plan review & issue a building permit for you in short order. Thanks & have a great weekend.
