Re: Grading and Drainage Waiver for 17352 Highway 82, Carbondale Colorado 81623
SE Job #30201.01
Dear Mr. Albright,
Following Policy Section 402 of the Garfield County Land Use, Sopris Engineering has reviewed the
Grading and Drainage Plan Submittal requirements under Section 4-203(E), for the proposed office
conversation of the existing residential home, in Carbondale, Colorado. The proposed subject property
is to be converted from a single-family home with an ADU to an office that will house 12 employees and
two one -bedroom apartments. The proposed conversion will not change the footprint of the existing
structure. It is proposed to add two covered decks to the existing structure and remodel to
accommodate the office and apartments, these changes can be seen on the Architectural Plans dated
October 9t", 2020.
Sopris Engineering has made a site visit and the property owner has striped and scarified the topsoil and
replaced the topsoil with gravel, to expand the driveway and parking areas in accordance to the site plan
dated December 9t", 2020. We have determined that no grading or drainage plan is needed because
there are no grading changes proposed to the subject property. The site will not require any drainage
improvements because no additional structure or improvements are being proposed to the subject
property. The existing grades near and around the building are adequate and have positive drainage
away from the building. The purpose of the submittal is to convert the existing structure from a
residential home to a professional office and apartments. It is SE's findings that no grading or drainage
improvements are needed or required.
If you have any questions or need additional information, please call.
Sincerely,
SOPRIS ENGINEERING, LLC
