David,
As you may recall, you submitted some engineering reports for 4 buildings located at 278 Scarrow, 268 Scarrow, 39
Mosher, and 189 Mosher last summer. The engineer's report established differential foundation settlement with all 4
structures. In conversations with the engineer, additional settlement and/or a combination of other physical loads could
cause anyone of these buildings to collapse. With the coming of the possibility of snow loaded conditions, these
structures collapsing would be a large life safety issue. Any further settlement from last summer could also be a
problem.
Please provide the Garfield County Building Department with an updated engineer's report of these buildings. Any
buildings determined to be unsafe must be taken down and removed or made safe as per Section 116 Unsafe Structures
and Equipment of the 2009 International Building Code adopted by the Garfield County.
We look forward to your continued cooperation in a timely manner. Please call with any questions.
Regards,
Andy Schwaller
Building Official
Garfield County
