RE: BLRE-A4-22-7493 Fadden residence is UNDER REVIEW
Hello All,
This is a courtesy update to the FADDEN RESIDENCE Lot 9 design team
ADVISORY COMMENT ON RELEASING THE APPROVED BUILD¡NG PLANS
Calleen Wirth, PIans Examiner, is currently working to complete o full correction list of architectural snd structural items
for the Fadden Residence ProjectTeam. Colleen will continue internal cammunication with Philip Berry, Planner Ill, to
stay abreast on the Fadden's componion lsnd use application request to modify/ move / otherwise odjust the building
envelopes for Lot 9. Provided the residential buildíng footprint and building projections remain within the existing AND
proposed platted building envelope(s), Colleen may be able to issue the building permÌt upon review of all final
architectural and structural drawings. Thot being stated, should any portion of new constructíon occur outside of
approved building envelope(s) or others issues arise due to nonconformonce with Garfield County's zoning or adopted
Land IJse and Development Code, release of the FADDEN building permit BLRE-04-22-7493 may necessarily be held in
abeyance until Planning concerns are resolved ond/or the final plat is approved.

QUESTIONS FOR THE ARCHITECT OR PROPERTY OWNERS
1. Have you obtained a driveway exemption letter from Garfield County Road & Bridge? We encourage
you visit Garfield County Road & Bridge websíte at Permits - Road and Bridse (sarfield-countv.com) or
PH: 970-625-8601 Fax: 970-625-8627 Email: roadandbridge@garfield-coqg!¡com to verify/
confirm a driveway exemption letter is allowed for the Fadden Residence. I will need to scan driveway
documentation into the building file record before releasing the buílding permit.
2. Sheet A2.7t depicts garage stair leading to attic trusses over the garage; Sheet A2.21depicts storage
trusses above the SOUTH WING R-3 residence.
4A. Please express the owner's planned use(s)for the garage attic?
48. Will the garage attic house or contain mechanical equípment or appliances? lf so, what kinds,
types, fuel sources?
4C. Will the garage and/or garage attic be heated conditioned space inside the proposed buílding
thermal envelope?
4D. Provide a detail illustrating how the garage and garage attic will be fire-separated from the South
Wing R-3 residential living and South Wing Storage attic spaces. We need a detail showing assemblies
comply with the 2015 IRC Table R306.6
3. Sheet A2.21further shows storage trusses above the NORTH Master Wing with an attic ladder access.
54. Wíll the storage attic above the master wing be heated conditioned and inside building thermal
envelope? Or unconditioned "cold storage"?
58. Will the attic ladder access any mechanical equipment or appliances, if so descríbe mechanical
equipment / type of fuel etc?
4. Areanyoftheproposedatticand/orstoragespacesproposedasunfinishedfuturelivingspace?
REQUESTED CORRECTIONS FOR THE STRUCTURAL ENGINEER
5. Kumar & Associates preliminary geotechnical report for Lot 9 references 2,500 psf soil bearing. Odisea
Engineering, Lucy Hunter expresses an assumed soil bearing of 1,500 psf. An allowable soil bearing
pressure of 1,500 psf was used in design, which is conservatíve with respect to the Subsoil Study by
Kumar & Associates. The desígn, based on L,500 psf, resulted in typical perimeter footings of l-6"
width, which is the minimum footing width allowed by the Subsoil Study. Footing sizes shall remain as
shown on Sheet SL.0 Foundatíon Plan, which is applicable to both code minimum design values and
the Subsoil Study. We find two separate footing and foundation pier charts on pages SL.O and
S3.0. Shect S3.0 is intendcd to be general in nature, and as such includcs all picr & footing sizes that
may be encountered if changes are made in the future. The Pierand Footing Schedule on Sheet S1.0
is pared down to include only the sizes currently referenced for the project. There are no
discrepancies as to pierffooting sizes or reinforcement requirements between the two sheets. Charts
provided on page S3.0 denote soíl bearings ranging between 1,000 psf, L,500 psf and 2,000 psf. I will
deletethecolumnsthatarenotapplicable,thoughlwill keepboth1,500psf and 2,500 psf for
reference. ln obsen¡ation of the framing plan on 5L.0, we note multiple isolated footing / foundation
piers between the contínuousfootings of the main house and the separate "future barn" space. lt is
unclear how many of the exterior pads relate to the maín residence and which ones support the
future barn. I will remove the barn and associated piers from the Foundation Plan (S1.0). For clarity
during all footing / foundation inspections for the main residential structure, we ask for the following
structural plan changes:
5.a. Remove all footing / foundation / framíng plan details for the "future barn" including exteríor
isolated pads serving the future building. All foundation inspections forthe future building will be
reviewed and permitted under a separate permit record, and any construction (or subsequent
2
foundation work will be excluded from issued permit BLRE-04-22-7493). I will remove the "Future
Barn" and associated piers & footings.
5.b. Remove, strike out or otherwise delete all non-applicable soil bearing and chart details which do
not apply to the proposed Fadden residential building on Lot 9. I will delete the columns that are not
applicable, though lwill keep both 1,500 psf and 2,5A0 psf for reference.
5.c. Reading through foundation and structural plan details it is unclear what the proposed foundation
wall height will be? Stemwall height shall not exceed 48". Will it be one uníform continuous wall
height throughout? Yes. Are there changes and transitions in foundation wall height? There will
NOT be a stepped foundation. Stemwall blockouts only occur at slidíng doors, garage doors, or entry
doors where finished slab will overlay stemwall. lf so, please confirm proposed top and bottom of
wall heights and where transitions will occur.
5.d. Please reconfirm Odisea Engineers assumed soil bearing capacítyforthe Fadden Residence on Lot
9, Weeping Willow Lane. An allowable soil bearing pressure of 1,500 psf was used in design, which is
conservative with respect to the Subsoil Study by Kumar & Associates. The design, based on 1,500 psf,
resulted in typical perimeter footings of 16" width, which is the minimum footing width allowed by
the Subsoil Study. Footing sizes shall remain as shown on Sheet SL.O Foundation Plan, whích ís
applicable to both code minimum desígn values and the Subsoil Study.
Any of questions 1-5 that necessitate resubmission of new plan sheets, should be forwarded to the
Community Development Department front desk, open 8:00 am - 4:30 pm M-F. Please submit (2) full
size hard copies, with changes oT "CLOUDED'AND REVISION changes marked in the
title block on the affected pages, and submitATTN: COLLEEN WIRTH, PLANS EXAM¡NER, BLRE-04-
22-7 493 Fadden res¡de nce.
I look forward to continuing the review on Fadden residence,
