CoIteen,
The Mason-Lite fireptace specified is a pre-manufactured concrete fireptace kit. lt is intended for indoor and /
outdoor use. l've attached the ESR report regarding the unit and its compliance with buitding codes. Here is atso a
tink to their website: https://www.mason-tite.com. I have instatted these units both indoors and outdoors on
muttipte projects and haven't had any issues. They work extremely we[[ outdoors with the potentiaI to weather
exposure because they are a concrete product.
The unit witt be utitized as a wood burning fireplace
Ptease tet me know if you have any additionat questions regarding the fireptace. We are working to get you a
revised site ptan that shows the gazebo footprint at the location shown on the ptan as the "proposed gazebo".
Thanks,
CURRENT SCOPE REVIEWED AS A PRIVATE USE, OPEN AIR GAZEBO ACCESSORY TO THE
MAIN RESIDENCE. ANY FUTURE CHANGE TO BUILDING USE OR OCCUPANCY' SHALL BE
SUBJECT TO A NEW BUILDING PERMIT AND LAND USE CHANGE PERMIT IN ACCORDANCE
WITH ADOPTED CODES AND LAND USE REGULATIONS IN EFFECT AT TIME OF FUTURE
WORK.

Courtesy Message for Wes Gardner and Don Eggers
I am starting review for the timber frame gazebo project at 9171, Hwy 82 and have a few questions:
Please respond in writing for the permit records:
L l'm viewing a photo copy of C1 (grading & erosion control & site plan). While a "proposed gazebo"
label is found on the plan between the existing leach field and an {presumed) existing irrigation supply
pond, no graphic lines are found showing an actual location of the 22ftby 27 ft structure.
1
REQUESTED CORRECTION: Please remit to the Garfield County Community Development Dept front
desk (2) full size paper copies of an updated SITE PLAN showing the proposed gazebo structure on
it. While a 30 ft = inch scale is provided, we cannot clearly measure proximity to property lines,
water features and other built elements. Receiving such will allow me to finish the zoning review for
the project, thanks!
2. A1.1 main level plan lists a "pre-manufactured fireplace":
2.al Please verify / confirm the proposed manufactured fireplace model is currently tested / listed for
installation outdoors? (we're mildly concerned when placed in an unconditioned, open air'on four sides -
that it be deemed safe from exposure impacts such as corrosion, ignition failure, water moisture freeze
damage during times and periods of non-use.)
2.b) Viewing fireplace details on A1.1, A2.1 and 43.1, l'm unclear if the fireplace is to be fueled by
woodburning solid fuel, natural gas or liquid propane (LP) gas or other? Please confirm.
Questions ltems 2.a and 2.b can be responded to directly via email to Colleen Wirth, Plans Examiner, at
cwi rth @ ga rfi eld-cou ntv.com.
Wes and Don -- Thanks for your help on this next construction phase for Gardner Dynasty Trust. I look
forward to receiving clarification and seeing things move forward.
