Attachments: Thullier revision.pdf
Mr. Argo,
Thank you for your comments. See below for clarifications:
A. The structural design was done in accordance with the 2015 IRC. This is an error in my notes which I will update on
future projects.
B. The building is located in Seismic Zone C. Design requirements for this zone were considered and incorporated in this
design.
C. This design was based on 50 psf snow load as noted on the plans.
Additionally, after considering the variance approval requirements for the proposed encroachment into the building
setback, Mr. Thullier has decided to move the building to the setback line so that there is no encroachment. I realize this
is a planning issue, but thought I would bring this to your attention since we had this discussion. Let me know if we need
to do anything regarding this change.
Also, attached is a pdf with some revision notes for your file regarding the garage door openings and headers.
Please let me know if you need anything more for this project, and if there is anything I can do to expedite things.
Sincerely,
David J. Anderson, P.E.

Subject: Thullier Detached Garage - Permit #BLRE-03-17-4625
David:
I have completed my plan review for Michael Thullier's detached garage project located at Panorama Ranches, Phase 2,
Lot 42. However, during my review I noted that there are a few corrections and/or clarifications which need to be made
1
to structural specifications and/or drawings in order to conform with Garfield County's building requirements, including
the following items:
A. Reference Building Code: 2015 IRC (not 2009 version as shown on Sheet S.1, several locations). Please verify
that design conforms to all 2015 IRC requirements.
B. Please verify inclusion and consideration of Seismic Zone C design requirements.
C. Snow load requirement: 50 psf (not 40 psf as shown on Sheet S.1).
In regards to item C, this property is located at 7,386 feet elevation, which requires this increased snow load (per
Garfield County's Building Resolution). As a result of this increased snow load requirement, we would ask that you revisit
structural design/sizing of the following items: roof joists, intermediate beams, door/window headers (particularly if
located in bearing walls) to see if this change may have impact on these items.
Please make these and any other required changes, adjustments and/or clarifications to your drawings, and update us as
appropriate so that we may finalize our plan review and issue a building permit for this project. An addendum to the
construction drawings is an acceptable method of conveying any revisions to our office.
If you should have any questions, please contact me per the enclosed contact info.
Thanks,
