Box 2503 Glenwood Springs, CO 81602 January 3,1997 RE: Exemption Subdivision SE Job No. 97001.01 Dear Rudy: We have reviewed the topographic information that was supplied by River City Surveys, LLC at five foot contour intervals for your two-lot exemption subdivision along Mitchell Creek, just above the Colorado Division of Wildlife's fish hatchery. It is also our understanding that the contours are from the City of Glenwood Springs aerial photographic mapping. The southern lot has an existing house so no building site was reviewed for this lot. Attached is a drawing showing a 1.48 acre building site on the northern lot with 30%o or less slope. This building site is easily accessed with the existing driveway cut. The building site is large enough that the ISDS can be placed within the building site also. I would recommend that the ISDS be designed by a Registered Engineer at the time of your building permit process, so the site specifics are known and the ISDS can be sized and designed properly. Ifyou have any questions or concerns, please give me a call. Sincerely, SOPRIS ENGINEERING, LLC Yancy Nichol P.E. Project Manager I l0l VrLncE RoAD, Sutre UL-3B .

I agree with you that these fire protection items should be installed. Unfortunately, according to our codes, we cannot require that these items be furnished without knowing what is going to take place on the site. Our codes specify that the mentioned requirements be installed when there are two or more R-3 units proposed. At this time, there is no proposal for what will eventually be on the site. Mr. Steele has stated that no more than one dwelling unit will be built on the site and that this could be years away. I have requested that Mr. Steele provide us with an engineers analysis of the bridge to insure that our apparatus will be able to use it. If the bridge is to be used to provide emergency vehicle access (only access to the site) it will have to support the loads of the fire apparatus. As 'far as water supply and the access road, we strongly recommend that when construction takes place, that the roads meet county standards and that some form of fire protection water supply is furnished to the site. Again, we cannot require these items until we know what will be placed on the site. We highly recommend that any structures that are built within our jurisdiction be provided with adequate access, water for fire flows and that the wildland fire threat is taken into consideration when constructing buildings. Please make the Board aware of our concerns. If you have any questions, or need more information, please give me a call. cc: Rudy Steele File 806 Cooper Avenue . Glenwood Springs, Colorado 81601 .
