David:
Sorry it's taken me a while to get back to you, but was out of the office last week through the holiday on Monday. I have
looked over the amended plans attached to your recent email, and I believe you have addressed everything with one
exception. The "opinion letter" submitted by your Structural Engineer about soils at the site does not satisfy the Plat
Note requirement for Springridge Reserve which states that a "site specific geotechnical study is required for all lots
before a building permit will be issued".
Although we appreciate your engineer's professional opinion on this matter, it is not a substitute for a comprehensive
geotechnical report which typically includes between 12-20 pages of information — including profile logs and definitive
laboratory test results, soil bearing capacities, any potential for soil expansiveness, as well as specific construction
practices & other recommendations.
Because of this very specific Plat Note included on Springridge Reserve's plat, we don't have the ability to issue the
building permit without having the geotechnical report submitted to our office.
Please call me with any questions, and we will await your submission of the geotechnical report prior to finalizing our
plan review of this project.

Hey David, i am sorry for it taking so long to get this information back to you. please find the attached
stamped prints for the project.
- The state of Colorado is using the 2012 irc code. attached are the state stamped prints for the home.
- The foundation engineering for the home is attached.
- The garage and build overs have also been engineered to the 2015 irc code and attached.
- The soils test results are attached.
Please let me know if you need anything else to approve this permit at your earliest convenience.

David:
I am currently reviewing plans for the Thurman Residence located at 499 Hidden Valley Drive, Springridge Reserve —
Phase 4, Lot 69 in Glenwood Springs.
However, I cannot complete my review of this project until I receive the following required information that was not
included in the building permit application:
1. Soils Report — All lots in Springridge Reserve require a site-specific soils report before a building permit will be
issued (per subdivision plat note #7) — please submit a digital copy of the soils report to our office.
2. Foundation Design — Engineered foundation design is required for all homes in Springridge Reserve (per plat
note #7), and these plans need to reflect actual site-specific conditions such as grading/topography & soils
bearing capacity (as contained in the soils report described in Item #1 above).
3. Structural Design of Garage Add -On — Plans for the factory -built structure included in this set of drawings do
not illustrate the add-on roof structures at the garage, covered front porch and gable entry dormer above
primary entrance to the home. Please provide structural engineering and tie-ins at these add-on elements for
our review.
4. Exterior Decks, Porches and Patios — Provide drawing clearly illustrating all decks, porches, walkways and patios
to be built at exterior areas adjacent to the residence.
Please contact me with any questions, and we look forward to receiving this outstanding information so that we can
finalize our review of this application for issuance of a building permit.
Thank you —
