Alan & Aneta:
We have reviewed your plans for a new single-family residence located in Springridge Reserve — Lot 15 and we have
found your home's design to be in compliance with building and land use codes with the following exception:
Fire Sprinkler System Requirement — Per the final plat, all homes located in Springridge Reserve exceeding 3,600 square
feet in size must be provided with an automatic fire sprinkler system (see attached plat note #6). Although the home
itself is less than 3,600 SF size, the actual "fire area" as defined in the Fire Code exceeds this maximum size as dictated
on the plat. Our square footage calculations are provided below:
Main Level Residence 1,920
Basement Level Residence 1,050
Total Residence 2,970
Garage 675
Covered Decks/Patios 265
TOTAL FIRE AREA 3,910 (which exceeds the 3,600 SF maximum allowable area)
Since the Glenwood Springs Fire District is charged with enforcement of the Fire Code, we require that you discuss
and/or meet with Greg Bak to determine the specific requirements for your new residence. I have copied Greg on this
email and you may either contact him directly via email or at the following phone number: (970) 384-6480. Our
approved plans will require that you obtain written approval from the local Fire District prior to frame inspection, and a
final report from the Fire District is also required prior to final building inspection & Certificate of Occupancy.
*Please Note: One possible option to installing a fire sprinkler system at your new residence is to build a 2 -hour fire -
rated separation between the garage and residence, which may be relatively easy in your case because the physical
connection between the garage and the residence is somewhat minimal...but you will need to review this option in
detail with Greg.
I encourage you to reach out to Greg Bak at your earliest opportunity to address this requirement. Thank you for your
prompt attention to this matter.
