Home My WebLink AboutAmendment Request-Correspondence 12.21.15David Bartholomew From: Sent: To: Cc: Subject: Flynn , David Bartholomew Monday, December 21, 2015 8:59 AM 'Flynn Stewart-Severy' Andy Schwaller; Jim Wilson; Matt Provost RE: Lot 48 Elk Springs Garage Addition -Bed/Bath Conversions Please amend the upper level storage plan to remove the interior partitions, except crawl storage as approved in the original plans. Maintain an open, unfinished storage room as the filing room can be considered a closet which qualifies the room as a bedroom. Our inspectors will verify where the plumbing must terminate to be considered removed. The revised plan for the rough plumbing for future bath in the great room is acceptable. Please be advised, to avoid inspection delays or a stop work order, all future amended plans must be submitted, reviewed, and approved prior to work being performed.

I'm not sure if they ever got sent in my previous . email. Just as a reminder, the owner is financially unable to convert the storage area into living space based on the requirements of the code, and has requested that I convert it back to storage. Are the attached plans acceptable? We would abandon the plumbing that was run to the bathroom and cut it off beneath the subfloor. Please advise what additional steps the County will require of us in order for it to be considered storage space again. Thanks, FLYNN S.

He prefers to not demo anything that exists currently, but I advised him that I thought Garfield County would require he at least remove the roughed-in plumbing. In the attached drawings I have a general note stating that all current plumbing (supply lines, drains, etc) are to be removed from the wall cavity and cut off in the floor system. Please advise as to what additional steps will need to be taken in order for the County to accept this space as storage again. My memory is that you were out for the rest of the week. I'll plan on touching base with you Monday or Tuesday. Thanks, FLYNN S.

The supporting structural members also need protection. FR protection is required over the can lights. I await your revised plans.

This door will also serve as the emergency escape/rescue opening. House/garage separation would be required, which I will red line the plans .

(no egress window required as the door would satisfy both emergency exit and egress). We could then keep our stairs that lead from the garage to the new storage? I would relabel the se two spaces as living and bedroom. The new bath would be accessed from the living space. Do you approve of this approach? See screenshot for clarification. FLYNN S.

The owner's name is Jeff Hauser. The building permit number is BLRE-4-15-3614. Chance Soldoff is still the General Contractor. I am sure Jeff or Chance will bring the drawing s in if you prefer them to be submitted that way, just let me know. 4 I will call you to discuss the finished bathrooms. We were anticipating the additional plan review and fees, but had no intention of finishing the great room bathroom, now or ever. The rough-in pipes were installed because we were pouring a concrete slab and knew that if any future owner ever wanted to convert the space into a guest suite they would have to tear up the entire slab to do so. The piping was purely a precaution and we planned to leave everything buried behind drywall. The Great Room would be finished as a great room, there will be no interior walls. The plan I submitted was done to demonstrate to the owner how a future bath might be laid out so they could include the drawing if/when they sell the house. It was my understanding Garfield County requested a copy of this drawing. The owner has no plans to finish the bathroom, nor does his budget permit it. Thanks, FLYNN S.

Could you please reference the owners name or building permit number on your correspondence? Please be advised, the baths will need to be finished as we 5 only allow baths/roughed in unfinished basements. As the storage area has been converted to a bedroom, additional plan review and fees will be charged at pick up. Do you know if Chance Soldoff is the general contractor on this project? Generally, the owner or their representative should be submitting the amended plans so we can log them into our system, pay applicable fees, and pick up approved field copies of plans . Thanks, Dave From: Flynn Stewart-Severy [mai lto:flyn n @fandmarchitects.com ] Sent: Friday, December 04, 2015 11:54 AM To: David Bartholomew <dbartho lomew@garfie ld-county.com > Subject: Lot 48 Elk Springs Garage Addition -Bed/Bath Conversions Dave, Attached are the requested stamped drawings for the Lot 48 Elk Springs Garage Addition. These two 8 1/2 x 11 PDFs show the areas that were roughed in for plumbing but were not part of the original permit. The bath above the garage will be finished as part of this permit-the bath in the Great Room (Main Level) will only be roughed in and is being done to add resale value to the home if and when it is ever sold. There will be no interior walls framed as the owner intends to use this space as a Great Room (not a bedroom). Please let me know if you have any questions, or require anything additional on my part.
