follow up - Springridge Reserve, Phase 3, Lot 32
Hello Brad,
I have corresponded by email with Greg Bak, Glenwood Springs Rural Fire Protection DÍstrict's Fíre Marshal and I
understand he may have already left a voice message. He was out of town attending the ICC code conference and I
could not reach him until today.
Responding to your earlÍer questions of last Thursday. To further confirm my understanding and hístoric knowledge of
the Springridge Reserve subdivision and plat note hístory, I reached out to Andy Schwaller, the longtime Garfield County
Chief Building Official who retired in October 2021". Andy retired in October and the CBO position is currently vacant.

From a practical standpoint it makeç sÊnse to use fire area and one could consider it a building offici*l interpretation.

Hello Greg,
Courtesy follow up. You will likely receive a call from the building permit holder for new house at 1255 Hidden Valley
Dr, Lot 32. Applicants are James & Teresa Jennings....though phone calls the gentleman references himself as
"Brad", His permit review is essentially done but ¡s pend¡ng confirmat¡on scope complies with all plat notes. Permit
status remains UNDER REVIEW.
I am going to redirect Brad (or hís licensed architect Todd Young, Young Architects) to engage in discussion with Greg
Bak, Fire Marshall and provide Actual Sq Footage calculations for FIRE AREA of their home design. You have my support
and blessing to negotiate or receive negotiations however you decide appropriate as the Fire Marshall.
ln response to my earlier directions to Brad and his builder, Levi Troyer - Brad vocalized over the phone that the
Architects Roof Plan sheet 42.1 we received dated 2.7.22 does not accurately show the covered roof projectíons as he
intends to build it. Submitted plans clearly show fínished living space of 2558 sq ft and attached garage of 780 square
feet. lt is likely only the originally submitted roof projections that may push them over the 3,600 sq ft
threshold. Actual horizontal roof projections by the Architect could confirm whether or not the fire sprinkler
requírement will apply. Brad is resistant to supplying any new or different plan information - because he fears or
disagrees wíth the fire sprinkler provisíon and how he believe square footages should be counted. lnstead of speaking
with his architect for new calculations, he's conducted his own research and has contanted the original subdivision
developer about the perceived intent for plat notes and the verbiage that was recorded.
l'm lackíng informatíon from Brad to eliminate or waive fire sprinklering myself. I was fortunate to receive an email
response from retired CBO, Andy Schwaller over the weekend. Andy said the practical use of the 'fire area" definition
was a Chief Buildíng Official call, and if either owner or the architect chooses to argue with Garfield County staff, kick it
back to the Fire Marshall to decide or negotiate terms of compliance with Plat Note 6 .
tf you should want to pre-empt¡vely call Brad Jennings yourself, Brad may surely be reached at (970 319'9000

Colleen - ok, thanks for the update.
By the way, Glenwood Spríngs City Councilvoted Thursday to adopt the 2O2L lnternational
BuildinglResidential/Fire Codes (as well as Energy, I believe), and DID NOTdelete Residential R-3L3 as has
been done in the past. R-313 is the section that requires automatic fire sprinklers in 1- and 2-family
dwellings. The council's approval will make these sprinkler systems a part of new construction homes. I'm
encouraged by their action as I believe these devices have life safety capbility. lf the County Commíssioners
were to take similar action on revíew of the 202L lnternatíonal codes, it appears that the síze requirement in
Springridge Reserve would be irrelevant.
Thanks again,
Greg Bak

Reserve Phase 3
Courtesy Heads Up to LeviTroyer, General Contractor and Todd Young, Architect:
Today, I started blueprint review for the Jennings Residence at 1255 Hidden Valley Drive. When I compare
sheet A2.L ROOF PLAN and square footages supplied by the applicant on our "Building Permit Fee Estimate
Worksheet" (finished living space @l 2,558 sq ft; attached garage at 780 sq ft and the apparent roof extension
over covered patios / decks @ 400 sq feet) - I am calculating overall buílding total FIRE AREA (with horizontal
roof projections) at3,738 square feet which puts the building over a size deemed exempt from a fire
sprinklered system (subdívision recorded plat note 6). For reference and project planning, Springridge
Reserve Phase lll, receptionT3O25!, plat note #6 reads as follows:

Please contact Glenwood Springs Rural Fire Protection District's Fire Marshal, Greg Bak, to discuss potential
fire sprinkler design installations (or other equívalent measures) at your earliest opportunity. While I am able
to continue with the remaining code compliance review, I am not able to sign offon Garfield County building
permit issuance until a verbal or written approval is obtained from Greg Bak.
