RE: Snack Shack Replacement — Determination of Consistency
Dear Steve:
Thank you for sending us your request for a Director's review of the proposed
replacement of your existing Snack Shack building with a new Snack Shack structure at
the Adventure Park. We have reviewed the proposal attached to your letter dated
12/14/20. The information you provided included floor plans for the new structure with
approximately 4,140 square feet on two levels. You also provided a site plan excerpt
which shows the new location to be within the currently developed portion of your site.
We have reviewed your proposal and have found that the use is consistent with the
character of the existing facility and approvals. Pursuant to Resolution 2012-52 as
amended by Resolution No. 2018-23, Condition 3.c. and the associated Land Use
Change Permit, because your proposed use is Consistent with the character of the
existing facility" no additional land use review by the County will be required for you to
proceed.
As noted in your correspondence a building permit will be required for the new structure.
To facilitate that review, Staff recommends that you provide the following information for
inclusion in our files:
• A copy of the overall site plan showing the new structure in relation to other
improvements including the gondola terminal building/restaurant, and emergency
vehicle access.

• Information on the removal of the existing Snack Shack and the square footage to be
removed.
• Documentation demonstrating that the new structure will be adequately served by the
required/existing fire protection water storage approved for the site.
• As all commercial building permits are referred to the Glenwood Springs Rural Fire
Protection for review, it is recommended that you contact the district for any initial
comments on the proposal associated with fire protection and fire access for the
building.
Please feel free to contact me or Andy Schwaller, Chief Building Official if you have any
questions or if we can be of additional assistance.
Sincerely,
