RE: Bath remodels
Max:
Sorry for my delayed reply, but was out of the office the past few days. Unless you are going to be altering any structural
components, you should be OK to proceed wíth this work. lf there are specific areas of concern, please engage our
inspectors to look at field conditions when they are out at the job site.
Thanks for your inquiry -

This project scope has grown. 'We now are adding a forced air system to replace the radiant baseboard heat. It
is mostly done in existing attic spaces, but there are a a few nonstructural dropped sofftts to create runs for the
forced air. Do I just need the electrician, plumber and HVAC subcontractors to apply for their individual
permits or do I need to submit for a full building permit for that down framing of the soffits?
Thanks

RE: Foster Barn at Aspen Valley Polo Club
Hi Max, Because Polo is not an agricultural use (but more of an outdoor recreation use), the accessory barns would not
be considered agricultural. However, having said that I will take a closer look at it and get back to you and Jon.

I have been in conversation with Dave Argo regarding the road impact fees determined
for this project. He thought it would be appropriate to include you in the
conversation. After a review by myself and Jon Frederick, the land planner,
we believe the residential calculation is correct, however the utilization of the "commercial" category is
not. The "commercial" definition in the impact fee policy is:
"Commercial includes retail development and eating and drinking establishments, along with
entertainment uses often located in a shopping center"
The Foster Barn is an agricultural/ residential building. i'm struggling to see how it could be determined to
be commercial because there are no approved commercial uses within the PUD. Using the commercial
designation for the road impact fee would contradict the recent PUD land use approval. I have attached
the recorded land use table for reference.
According to the approved Land Use Table:
The 1st floor of the barn is classified as: Agricultural and Animal-Related Uses > Equestrian Facility
The 2nd floor of the barn is classified as: Residential Uses > Dwelling, Mixed Use
It is important to understand that this particular building is a private barn for one of the owners
to accommodate his horses and trainers. It will not be open to the public, as would the future clubhouse
for events and polo matches as indicated in our Traffic Impact Study. If the County does not have a traffic
impact fee for Agricultural and Animal-Related Uses, then I believe the only fee that would apply for this
1
particular building is the residential portion. Please review the attached and call me to discuss at
your earliest convenience.
My permit is ready to be picked up and I would like to proceed with construction. I realize that cannot be
done without payment of the fees due and I realize these this issue may take some time to resolve, Dave
said it is acceptable for me to pay the full fees now, with the understanding that if we are able to come to
an agreement and the fees are less, that I would be credited the difference at a later time.
I propose that we take some time next week for you and Jon and I to sit down to discuss.
Thanks and have a great weekend.

RE: Foster Barn Timbers
Max
Allwe need to have is Structural Engineer review/sign-off on the reclaimed timbers. lf you have a copy of Engineer's
sign-off available on the job site for building inspector review that should satisfy Matt or Jim when they come out for
frame inspection.
Thanks for asking the question -

We picked up the permit on Friday. Thanks!
On another note. We may want to use old reclaimed timbers for the exterior timbers. They are significantly
oversized, but wondered what your protocol for this process is. Do we simply need engineer sign off or do they
need to be graded?
Thanks. Hope you had a good weekend and your back is feeling better.
