To Whom It May Concern:
I am writing on behalf of F. Peter Simmons & Dorothy Simmons.
The enclosed application if for an accessory dwelling on their property
for a caretaker. This unit is to be remodeled from an existing building
already located on their property.
The Simmons wish for me to inform you that they are an older
couple whose health is getting worse. They find themselves in need of
readily available help. This cottage will be for the lady that cares for
them now. She currently commutes from the Carbondale/El Jebel area
to assist them at any time she is needed.
The building in question is a 30' x 34' existing building located on
the northwest corner of their property with driveway access through lot
3 to the north of their property. Water will be provided by the well
located on the property and sewage will be handled by a newly installed
septic tank and infiltration system as per plan. The structure will be
brought up to county building code at the time of permit and remodel.
Please find a list of adjacent property owners attached. If you
have any further questions, please contact me, Dana Yerian, at
Daybreak Construction Specialties, Inc. 970-945-2469.
Thank you,
Yerian
