However, before we can finalize our plan review & issue a Building Permit, we need to receive verification on a few items from your Structural Engineer of Record: A. Reference Building Code — Structural specifications included on Sheet S4 reference the 2009 IBC, but Garfield County adopted the 2015 family of ICC codes in July 2016. Another issue is that with this being a single-family residence, it falls under the 2015 IRC (not IBC). B. Wind Speed — On a related issue, the Wind Speed requirements in the 2015 IRC have been revised to 115 mph Ultimate Speed from the previous 90 mph wind speed. C. Soils Report — Can you please verify whether or not a site specific soils report has been completed for this project? If not, we will accept construction documents as they are, but we will place a requirement for an "open hole soils investigation report" to confirm that assumed conditions as described in the Structural Specifications (Sheet S4) are consistent with actual conditions at the project site. This report will need to be performed prior to initial building inspections at the job site. If you could please have your Structural Engineer of Record — Winston E. Knechtel, P.E. — reply to me via email addressing items A & B above, and assuming that existing plans comply with these requirements, we should be able to quickly issue a Building Permit for this project.

In addition to those items contained in my original email, there are a couple of other items that have cropped up as I have finalized my plan review: 1. Soils Report — After sending the earlier email to you, I dug a little deeper into our files and found that one of the original requirements for the Aspen Equestrian Estates subdivision requires site specific soils investigation to be completed for each building site — not an "open hole" inspection as noted previously. As a result, we cannot issue a building permit until we receive a copy of this report. If a soils report hasn't yet been completed for Lot B-6, it may be of interest to you that Hepworth Pawlak Geotech (now dba: H -P Kumar) conducted the original soils investigation work for this subdivision. 2. Greenbelt Setback along Rear Property Line — It was also noted that there is a 45 -foot setback from the rear property line, so designated to protect a "greenbelt" area adjacent to the banks of Blue Creek. This 45 -foot setback line should be used as the maximum encroachment towards the creek, rather than the location of the silt fence as shown on your Construction Mgmt. Plan (Sheet CMP). Please make the Contractor aware of this requirement so that they can establish the correct boundary within which all construction activities must be contained. Until we receive a follow-up email from your Structural Engineer and a copy of the site specific Soils Report we will place this project in our "Pending Projects" file, and we look forward to your response addressing these outstanding items. Please contact me if you have any questions. Dave Argo Plans Examiner C'\: .
