Subject: Steele Subdivision, Lot 1
Ed:
I have reviewed & approved the grading permit for your daughter Abbey's new home located up Mitchell Creek with our
standard language that all grading/excavation work performed prior to issuance of the building permit is as the Owner's
risk.
But, I wanted to let you know that there are several plat not requirements that must be satisfied before we can review &
issue the building permit including the following items which all need to be prepared and certified by Colorado licensed
Professional Engineer:
(A) site specific soils report
(B) septic system design
(C) site grading and drainage plan
One additional clarification is also needed: On the site plan (Sheet A1.1) there is a building footprint shown below the
new residence (near the bottom of the sheet). Is this structure intended to be built or is this simply an erroneous
inclusion that should not be illustrated on this drawing?
Thanks for your assistance —

Bruce:
Kinda thought that might have been a ghost image but wanted to verify.
The engineered site grading/drainage plan is a plat note requirement of the Steele Subdivision Exemption and it is
therefore a legal requirement in which we don't have any discretion. It's similar to an issue that previously came up on a
house you designed up at Four Mile Ranch.

Dave —The building footprint is a hanging chad (my bad) that did not get deleted. With regards to the civil engineer
requirement, is that because of the slope?
Thanks, Bruce

Matthew & Abbey:
We have reviewed the plans for your new residence located at Lot 1 of Steele Subdivision Exemption on Mitchell Creek
Road. However, as noted previously with issuance of the Grading Permit for your project, we will not be able to issue
permits until we have received a Site Grading & Drainage Plan as prepared by a Colorado licensed Professional Engineer
in accordance with the amended final plat.
In addition to this specific plat note requirement, anytime someone builds on lots steeper than 20% in Garfield County
an Engineered site plan and/or report is required (see attached requirements for Slope Development excerpted from the
Land Use & Development Code). The existing site grades adjacent to your proposed home exceed 30% and there are
portions of your building site that actually exceed 40%.
You are also required to have an Engineered septic system design and we have not received a copy of the Engineer's
design.
Please provide this information to our office at your earliest opportunity, and we will place your project in our "Pending"
files until these requirements have been met.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
