HíSheryl,
Welcome Back! When time permits, I need a L5 minute consult with you
roptc: REQUEST DIRECTOR ADVISEMENT / ZONING INTERPRETAT¡ON RE: COMPLIANCE WITH
THE BATTLEMENT MESA PUD GUIDE
l'm starting building code reviews for two building permit applications.
24A7L72L1A10 {BLRE-OS-22-7779) remodelto provide ADA accessibility upgrades in a single-famíly dwellíng {oríginally
built in 2008)
24A7A74t2A04 (BLRE-08-22-7778) same remodelwork scope in single-family dwelling (originally built ín 202L)
QUESTION AND CONCERNS:
A non-profit professional organization that offers long-term care to persons with disabilíties has purchased and owns 2
lots in Battlement Mesa.
The PUD Guide does not specífícally speak to or address a private home being used by a non-profít organization
providing full-time care to unrelated persons with disabilities.
l'm being careful ín the application reviews to ensure there isn't risk of future code enforcement issues due to the use.
The Battlement Mesa PUD GUIDE expresses allowable use{s) on lots as a single-family residence but ít mute moot or
sílent on defíning what type of individuals occupy a prívate residence.
FINDINGS ON USE BY MOUNTAIN VALLEY DEVELOPMENT SERVICES
1
The Executive Director represents in email the purchased home will retain use as a private single-unit dwelling.
Further represents the operation and occupancy DOES not fall under State of Colorado licensure requirements or
mandates for a "group home".
Further represents 2-3 adult persons with disabilities wíll be long-term residents
Further represents not short-term líving stay
Fr¡rther represents the home will be supervised by in-attendance paid professional staff providing care for the long-term
residents.
Further represents that staff may or may not sleep"during the night - depends upon the care needs of the disabled
residents, will be on duty to respond to the disabled resident needs and circumstances and awake when needed.
Further represents the staff will provide travel and activity, long-term residents will be moved out of the home duríng
the day for day time actívity work or other etc.
Further represents no children under care in the home.
WEARING the BUILDING CODE HAT:
l've read through the residential occupancy sections in the adopted IBC and IRC -
Buildíng Code official can allow this remodel as a single-unít dwelling with 5 or fewer residents supervísed under care by
care professionals - complying with the IRC as a single-family dwelling PROVIDED the building has a fire-sprinkler system
installed.
The IBC residential occupancy classifications and definitions do not place this remodel work into the "group home"
category because a group home has a higher occupancy load with group homes residents being capable of self-
preservation and escape during an emergency.
lf the applícants usc is allowcd by ZONING (BATTLEMENT MESA PUD) - then I will propose to include the following
BUILDING CONDITIONS OF PERMIT:
CONDITION #l APPROVED AS A SINGLE.DWELLING UNIT UNDER CURRENTLY ADOPTED IRC.
CONDITION #2 NO MORE THAN FIVE RESIDENTS UNDER CARE IN THE HOME AS AN IRC SINGTE.UNIT DWELLING
CONDITION #3 DWELTING I.JNIT MUST BE FIRE SPRINKTERED. FIRE SPRINKLER INSTAIIER TO CONTACÍ LOCAL FIRE
DISTRICT FOR PERMITS, FEES, PLAN REVIEW, ROUGH.IN AND FINAL INSPECTION APPROVAL.
l've just begun some scoping questions with the lot owners to flesh out how the buíldíngs will be used. The smaller 2
bedroom home will have 2-3 persons with disabilities. The larger 3 bedroom home ... could modestly have more.... l'm
waiting for confirmatíon from the non-profit director. Occupancy ís expected to be low.... Waíting.

Courtesy Message for Mark with Mountain Valley Developmental Services and BeBrem
LLC
This morning I am beginning building and zoning code compliance reviews for 39 Hogan
Circle, Battlement Mesa, Lot 4. I understand this to be a recently constructed building,
origínally reviewed last year and issued as a private use one-family dwellíng unit.
QUESTIONS:
Does the described remodel work include a change in the residential occupancy and/or
the intended buildíng use{s)? No change in occupancy or intended building use.
Will it remain for occupancy or use as a private, one-famíly dwelling? lt will remain
occupied as a single-family dwelling.
ls thís intended to be a rental property? No
Short-term stay or long-term residence? Long term residence'
Will this be used as a group home care or rehabilitation facility with in-home care
providers or other paid, professional employees? This does not meet the lícensure
definition of a group home, but will be the primary location for persons with disabilities
requiríng paíd in-home care from professional employees'
There is a second applicatíon in the cue for BLRE-O8-22-7779 for another remodel at162
Eagle Ridge, Battlement Mesa under same property owner and contractor'
QUESTION:
Please advíse if your responses shall apply similarly to the property at 162 Eagle
Ridge? lf so, I will include your email response(s) in that project file as well. The
responses are the same for L62 Eagle Ridge.

As I don't see a private entíty listed as current property owner, I am being cautious to
understand future use of the building. Mountain Valley Developmental Services, lnc. (a
private, non-profit corporation) is the owner and plans to use this property for a long
time into the future for tlre purposes above.
Your answers will help ensure we review the remodel in accordance with correct cocles
and regulations.

Hello Sara, Mark and Lowell:
Okay, l'm still trying to wrap my head around the building occupancy and new proposed floor plan details.
39 Hogan existing and proposed floor plan layouts show labels for an existing office, a master bedroom plus a second
bedroom, correct? Yes
Please confirm no increase in total number of bedrooms = 2 no increase...2 bedrooms total
Please confirm office will remain an office with no sleeping, correct? Yes, no sleeping
Willthe home be staffed 24 hours? Home will be staffed when residents are on premise. The current plan is for some or
all residents to be away from the premise during the some weekday hours.
Will staff sleep on premises, or will all paid staff remain awake and "on duty" responsible for aiding in building
íngress/egress 24 hours / daV? The overnight staff wíll be expected to respond accordingly to the residents as
needed. This means they may or may not need to be awake their entire shift, but will have some part of their shift when
they are awake and responding.
5
How many persons with disabilities will occupy the building at one time? 2-3
Will any children reside here? No.

RE: BLRE-A8-22-7778- Remodel 39 Hogan Circle Parachute
Courtesy Message for Mark with Mountain Valley Developmental Services and BeBrem
LLC:
This morning I am beginning building and zoning code compliance reviews for 39 Hogan
Circle, Battlement Mesa, Lot 4. I understand thís to be a recently constructed building,
originally reviewed last year and issued as a private use one-family dwelling unit.
QUESTIONS:
Does the described remodel work include a change in the residential occupancy and/or
the intended building use(s)? No change in occupancy or intended buildíng use.
Will it remain for occupancy or use as a private, one-family dwelling? lt will remaín
occupied as a single-family dwelling.
ls this intended to be a rental property? No
Short-term stay or long-term residence? Long term residence'
Will this be used as a group home care or rehabilitation facility with in-home care
providers or other paid, professional employees? This does not meet the licensure
definition of a group home, but will be the primary location for persons with disabilíties
requiríng paid in-home care from professional employees.
There is a second application in the cue for BLRE-O8-22-7779 for another remodel at 162
Eagle Ridge, Battlement Mesa under same property owner and contractor.
QUESTION:
Please advíse if your responses shall apply símilarly to the property at 162 Eagle
Ridge? lf so, I will include your email response(s) in that project file as well. The
responses are the same for 162 Eagle Ridge.
As I don't see a private entity listed as current property owner, I am being cautious to
understand future use of the building. Mountain Valley Developmental Services, lnc. {a
private, non-profit corporation) is the owner and plans to use this property for a long
time into the future for the purposes above.
Your answers will help ensure we review the remodel in accordance with correct codes
and regulations.
REQUESTED ACTION:
A written response is requested at your earliest convenience. Email answers may be
sent to me directly at cwirth@garfield-countv.com.
Thanks for your care and attention, I look forward to continuing this review
Best,
Colleen Wirth
