Permit Glenn & Patrick: Sorry to bother you with another planning clarification issue, but I guess it's a bit of a weird week (or year) we are having. This one involves a large tract (almost 100 acres) south of Silt on Divide Creek with County Road 311 bisecting the property (Parcel ID No. 217924100210). Assessor's records indicate that there are 2 homes already located on the property — the Main House built in 1947, 2 -stories and 1,780 S.F. + Cabin of about 500 S.F. (not sure when that one was built). The New Residence is going to be about 5,000 S.F. in size so it definitely won't qualify as an ADU, and the existing, Main House is too large for that designation, as well (although the Cabin could qualify). The owners recently went through a boundary line adjustment, but there is no indication (at least that I can find) where they have gone through any sort of land use approvals to have a 3rd residence on this property, which seems to me necessary to allow construction of a third residence. Am I correct about that? Do you know if they are currently going through land use changes with the Planning Dept.? Or should I send an email to Brad that he needs to connect with someone in the planning department about this? ... it kind of seems like he should have known that they would need a land use change permit for this doesn't it?

Permit Attachments: Carnahan 3923 CR 311 Silt.pdf Lindsay & Patrick: Thanks for your follow-up description which helps me to better understand what's going on with this one. *Note: Refer to the attached PDF which shows the cabin highlighted. I will send Brad an email requesting (2) copies of an updated site plan showing both parcels and including the boundary line adjustment paperwork, because this information is not available online to me — probably because it has only recently been completed. But for me to act in good conscience, I need a more definitive site plan submitted to provide proper documentation for these recent changes to the subject property. Thanks again!

Permit Hey All I am the one who initially recognized there was an issue with the original submittal and informed the owners and planners. Patrick gave them the option to go through land use for a secondary dwelling unit or do a boundary line adjustment (BLA) through the assessor's office. They decided to do the BLA to basically split the parcel in half. I only show one residence currently on the property, which is the original house that was built in 1947. I don't see the cabin that you referred to. There should be no reason that they have to go through land use. The BLA adjustment should have gotten them to a place where the new proposed home is the only structure on the property. I did tell them that they would probably need to submit a new site plan and I believe they were working on getting that to us. 1 From: Dave Argo <dargo rC7garfield-countv.com> Sent: Thursday, December 17, 2020 8:31 AM To: Glenn Hartmann <ghartmann@garfield-countv.com>; Patrick Waller <pwaller@garfield-countv.com> Cc: Lindsay Krol <Ikrol@rarfield-county.com>; Andy Schwaller <aschwaller@j arfield-county.com> Subject: 3923 County Road 311, Silt - New Residence Bldg.

Permit #BLRE-11-20-6613 Attachments: Bldg Ht Calculation.pdf Brad: We have reviewed plans submitted for a new residence for Carnahan to be built at 3923 County Road 311 south of Silt, but before we can finalize our plan review and issue a permit for this project there are a few items that must first be addressed: A. Updated/Amended Site Plan — It is our understanding that your clients have recently gone through a Boundary Line Adjustment process with the Assessor's office, as this residence wouldn't otherwise be allowed without obtaining a land use change permit. Since this is a recent transaction and substantive change to property boundaries, we need to have you submit an updated site plan and other documentation demonstrating all applicable changes to property boundary lines, parcel ID numbers, etc. In particular, the new home location needs to be shown relative to the new property boundary line and identified as a separate parcel from the original 99 acres. B. Building Height — As currently shown on drawings (Sheet A4.2) the building height is called out as 29' — 3" to the mid- point of the highest gable roof and this exceeds Garfield County's building height limitation by more than 4 feet. Please revise design accordingly or, alternately, provide us with a site plan overlay of the roof plan clearly identifying corners of the building footprint superimposed above actual natural grade contours with a detailed take -off and calculations illustrating compliance with the County's height limitations. Please refer to the attached PDF for Garfield County's definition of "Building Height" and method of calculating the height of structures. C. Structural Fill below Foundations — The soils report specifically states that the entire building footprint shall be over - excavated by 36 inches below footing elevations and structural fill placed beneath the entire building. However, this requirement does not appear on the Structural Engineer's foundation plans/details. Please review with the Structural Engineer to verify inclusion of this requirement in project design and provide our office with updated specifications if applicable. Please address these issues and provide a response and/or amended plans to our office so that we can finalize our review of your project. In the meantime, we will place your application in our pending file while awaiting your response.

Permit #BLRE-11-20-6613 Attachments: 004 A2.2.pdf; 003 A2.1.pdf; 010 A4.2.pdf; 009 A4.1.pdf Follow Up Flag: Follow up Flag Status: Flagged Dave, Attached is the revised/updated site plans and exterior elevations. The grades were shot on site as indicated on the site plan. Essentially, the house is going to be built on an existing, relatively flat bench with a severe drop off approximately 30' from the house. The top and toe of slope have also been indicated. The intent is the lower level will be cut into the bench and the excess earth will be pushed out over the slope. With the bench elevations, the overall and midpoint of the house are well within the height limit as established by Garfield County. Please let me know if this will suffice. I have also copied the owner and the contractor/excavator on this email. It is my understanding that the Owner is still waiting for the final recorded plat for submission.
