HiColleen,
6,200 square feet is still the correct number for sprinklers at Coryell Ranch

Hello Bill,
I wanted to reach out and let you know l'm in progress of completing the initial plan review for a new home in Coryell
Ranch, Lot17,436 Coryell Ranch Rd Carbondale.
Parcel 239329L02017. Property Owner Dave/ Ellen Sanders. Bruce Barth, Red House Architecture.
From the applicant's square footage calculations, l'm showing a TOTAL FIRE AREA of 6,575 sq ft
(Finished Líving Space 4,7L4 plus conditioned garage 1-,430 plus exteríor covered roof decks/porches of 431 sq ft)
From the plan review bínder available ín my office, l've found earlier communications between Andy S, Bill of same
Architectural Fire and yourself. See PDF attachment. May I reconfirm the requirement to fire sprinkler where over
6,200 sq ft still stands currently? l'm proposing to send Bruce Barth and the Sanders an email advising them regarding
fire-sprinkler requirements. Checking wíth you before I reach out to the external customer to be sure......

Sprinklers Requirements - Coryell Ranch 8¿ Midland Point
Bill,
I have reviewed our previous fire flotr¡ test data for the Midland Point and Coryell Ranch Subdivisions. The test ¡nd¡cate
that the Roaring Fork Water & Sanitation District's water system that serves those subdivisions is capable of providing
flows of at least 2,000 gallons per minute.
Based on the fire flow analysis, homes with fire areas of 6,200 square feet or less may be constructed in Midland Pont or
Coryell Ranch Subdivisions without automatic fire sprinkler systems. This is consistent with the lnternational Fire Code,
2009 ed¡t¡on, adopted by Garfield County
