HiColleen,
My e-mail to Dave Argo just came back undelivered (for obvious reasons)
I was not aware that Dave was no longer with Garfield Cty.

Good morn gentlemen,
Thanks for your patience
I made a complete review of the foundation design this morn.
Dave, I am sure you noticed that our construction documents were issued 4 weeks prior to the soils report issue date.
I never make the 'assumptions'when designing for'assumed conditions.' Those assumed soils properties come from the
geotechnical engineer.
At any rate, after a close look, there are no changes necessary to the foundation design: it is in conformance with the
dual bearing properties as recommended by H-P/Kumar in their report no. 20-7-414 (dated A7-28-20).

RE: BLRE-07-20-6411 - Natoniewsk¡ ADU at4972 CR 113, Carbondale
- pending application commenced by prior plans examiner Dave Argo
Thanks Aaron for Friday's voice mail message. I am reviewing your geotechnical engineers report (K+A project 2A-7-414
and observation of recent excavation dated August24,2A2l. I notice Daniel Hardin states recommended for an
allowable bearing pressure of 1 ,500 psf (or 2,000 psf for footings wider than 3 feet). Sheet S-1 , general structural notes
dated 6/3012020 from Brian Kurtz names an assumed soil bearing capacity names an assumed soil bearing capacity at
2,000 psf. Sheet S2 Footing widths appear variable along the four faces of the detached garage / ADU..... from 28
inches along two faces of the building to those exceeding 3 feet. I am emailing now to verify and confirm the Kurtz &
Associates structural engineer is still comfortable with the designed soil bearing and expresses no need to amend the
original footing widths?
I am striving to avoid confusion with the "red lines" printed on the issued FIELD COPY, so it is clearfor both the building
inspector and builders on site.
Thanks in advance for your reply, I appreciate the clarification,
