Subject: George Lescallet - Permit #BLMF-03-20-6190
David:
Once again, we have received incorrect, conflicting and/or not enough information from CMH Homes to properly review
a building permit application. This time it is for a "Fire Rebuild" for Lescallett located in Saddleback Village at 95 E.
Tamarack Circle.
Before we can proceed with plan review for this project we need for the following information to be addressed:
1. Signature Line on Building Permit Application —Two different names have been submitted to our office, and
these represent 2 different entities which is not allowed. Although it is unclear whose signature is on the second
page of the permit application, we assume that it is the property owner — but this signature appears on the
bottom line of the application where our office is supposed to sign -off once plans have been approved. This
scanned document is also barely legible, so it needs to be corrected and re-scanned/emailed to our office. The
second signature is yours and it appears on the 3rd sheet of the application checklist. We cannot have 2 different
entities sign any building permit application. Either the property owner signs both and you resubmit those to our
office, or you sign both and provide us with a signed "Statement of Authority" from the property owner (with
their signature on it). This applies to every building application submitted to our office, so please make sure that
all of your subsequent applications follow these requirements.
2. Building Plans Do Not Illustrate Garage Location —We realize that this installation is intended as a "Fire
Rebuild" to replace an existing modular home. However, there is not enough information provided from your
office for us to understand layout of the existing garage and where it sits in relation to the new HUD home. If we
assume placement of the entry door is in a similar location as the original home, it appears as though one of the
bedrooms will not have egress (or any) windows, because it will be directly on the other side of the common
wall between the garage and the residence. I'm sorry, but I am not a mind-reader. You must provide us with a
floor plan illustrating both the garage and the modular home layout shown together so that we can fully
understand the intended layout on the building site.
This permit application will be placed "on hold" until we receive from you the supplemental information described
above.

David:
Following the email sent to you at the end of the day yesterday, I realized that there are a couple of other issues to be
addressed:
A. Site Plan — We will accept the 8 1/2 x 11 "Plot Plan" drawing submitted by CMH Homes FOR THIS PROJECT
ONLY, because the nature of this installation is placing a new modular unit on an existing foundation and we
have an accurate site plan that was submitted 20 years ago for the original residence. In fact, the 20 year old
submittal contains better and more accurate information than your present submittal. As stated in prior email
correspondence, Garfield County will no longer accept your standard "Plot Plans" as a substitute for a site plan
meeting all requirements stipulated on our "Building Permit Application Checklist".
B. Structural Engineering of Garage Roof Over Frame — If the intent is to over frame the roof structure above the
new modular unit's roof where it tie-ins into the garage structure ridgeline (similar to the original residence)
then the Building Department requires that you submit a letter and/or substantiating documentation wet -sealed
by a Colorado licensed Professional Engineer verifying that the modular housing unit is capable of supporting
such roof over framing. We require that this be submitted to our office prior to issuance of the Building Permit.
Thank you for your attention to these additional items.

OK, thanks for letting me know about the ILC in progress. As far as the garage roof over frame goes, if the Manufacturer
provides us with a sketch illustrating the specific conditions represented by this project with a letter from their
engineering staff's seal verifying that the structure of the modular unit will adequately support the garage roof tie-in
(w/40 PSF snow load reqts.) on it that will work for us.

Dave,
We have already ordered an ILC for the property to be able to show where the home sits on the property, I
will forward that as soon as we receive it back. Since the new home is the same size as the existing, all the
measurements will be accurate to meet your plot plan needs. I will also use that to provide you with an
overlay of how the new home will sit on the foundation and attach to the garage, as well - all to scale. No
bedroom windows will be blocked, as you previously questioned.
The garage will have the over frame on the home to tie it all together. If the factory will provide a letter
stating the overframing is not a problem for the home, will that suffice in lieu of a local engineer?
Thanks,
David Mahovsky

I think it will work to accept PDF documents for these items — if they will print out at 11x17 and still be legible. If not, we
will require full-size copies, but given our current circumstances I'm OK accepting the digital files to see if we can get
those to work.

Dave - I believe that you are still waiting for:
• ILC
• Structural engineering of garage roof overhang
See question below about whether or not digital submission is okay? Also, is there anything else that needs to
be submitted? Staci and David and both copied on this email so please advise.
Thank you,
