Yes, that permit is actively sitting in the queue waiting to be reviewed. It was submitted on 11/09 so it should be ready for pick up sometime around 12/07 as our current review time is running about 4 weeks.

So that may or may not still require them to convert one of the existing bedrooms by removing the closet. That is what I understand as well. With the addition, it will be 4 bedrooms - so we will need to convert one upstairs bedroom to an office and remove the closet. I've attached the old permit so you can see. Let me know if you have any questions. I will go ahead and hang on to this email correspondence and include it with the application when you submit for the building permit in case they will need to convert one of the existing bedrooms. Thanks! I have already submitted the plans. Can you check on status, and make sure it is int he queue actively? 1 From: Kurt Carruth [mailto:kurt@hinge-architects.com] Sent: Monday, November 26, 2018 8:40 AM To: Lindsay Krol <Ikrol@garfieid-county.com> Subject: Fwd: 2115 117 road permit Lindsay: The owner believes the septic permit was pulled either in feb. or march 2006, and it was pulled by either rock hawg construction or DM Neuman construction for project name of Nelson storage.

Get back to me with any questions on it. 2 Dave Argo From: Dave Argo Sent: Friday, December 7, 2018 2:56 PM To: Kurt Carruth Subject: 2115 County Road 117 - Permit #BLRE-11-18-5565 Kurt: I am currently reviewing plans for a master bedroom addition for Alan & Kathryn Nelson, but before we can finalize our review & issue a building permit we need to receive additional information & clarification from you regarding the following items: 1. Retaining Waifs —There is little information provided regarding (3) retaining walls shown on these plans. In particular, we need clarification about the following: a. Are these retaining walls new or existing? Please clarify for all (3) retaining walls shown on plans. b. If existing, what precautions or protections will be utilized to insure that integrity of the existing walls will not be compromised during excavation. Is shoring required to protect the integrity of existing retaining walls? Will the Engineer be making a site visit to confirm existing retaining walls once excavation has been completed? c. If new construction, we need more information about height of walls above/below finish grade and construction detailing and/or Engineering if greater than 48" height. 2. Grading and Drainage: a. If the upper retaining wall is only a "landscape wall" that will be built following construction of the new addition, it needs to be built further away from the building in order to allow 6" min. (vertical) drainage away from foundation for a 10 feet width (per I.R.C., Section R401.3). Please clarify. b. Will gutters & downspouts be utilized on roof eave of the new addition in order to comply with the "Grading & Drainage" requirements as stated in the original soils report prepared by Lincoln/DeVore? As currently shown, the roof's drip line will drain into the very narrow gap between the new foundation and the retaining wall or on the backside of the retaining wall itself. These conditions will not meet the requirements of Section R401.3 as referenced above. 3. Waterproofing and Insulation: a. There is no indication about how the exposed concrete foundation wall at the backside of the new Master Bedroom addition will be waterproofed or insulated. Please provide additional information. Thanks for your assistance and we look forward to receiving your response to these questions. Dave Argo Plans Examiner .

Retaining Walls — There is little information provided regarding (3) retaining walls shown on these plans. In particular, we need clarification about the following: a. Are these retaining walls new or existing? Please clarify for all (3) retaining walls shown on plans. All retaining walls are existing. b. If existing, what precautions or protections will be utilized to insure that integrity of the existing walls will not be compromised during excavation. The owner is not sure how deep the posts go, but when talking with the contractor, he thought that we would dig and if anything failed, just replace as needed. There is no concrete included in the existing walls. The wall was initially installed as a `edge' for the exterior patio. Is shoring required to protect the integrity of existing retaining walls? We were not planning on shoring. The posts are 6 x 6s with cribbing on the uphill side. Tallest height of soil bearing on wall is right at 30" — 42" tall. See attached picture. (If you need to, I would be happy to meet you at the site to review). Will the Engineer be making a site visit to confirm existing retaining walls once excavation has been completed? The engineer is based in Aspen, but living in Florida for a few months. We will probably handle the inspection by e-mail photos / calls with him. Will that work if I shared his replies with you? c. If new construction, we need more information about height of walls above/below finish grade and construction detailing and/or Engineering if greater than 48" height. 2. Grading and Drainage: a. If the upper retaining wall is only a "landscape wall" that will be built following construction of the new addition, it needs to be built further away from the building in order to allow 6" min. (vertical) drainage away from foundation for a 10 feet width (per I.R.C., Section R401.3). Please clarify. We are not planning on rebuilding the wood retaining wall. I think it is more than anything, a wall that catches any dirt / small rocks that may come down the bluff, as it is not retaining much as is. We could raise the height of the foundation wall to the West if you wanted us to - as designed, it is 15" above interior finish ply. height. b. Will gutters & downspouts be utilized on roof eave of the new addition in order to comply with the "Grading & Drainage" requirements as stated in the original soils report prepared by Lincoln/DeVore? Yes. The gutter will drain towards the patio area and be directed by swale away from the house and new addition. As currently shown, the roofs drip line will drain into the very narrow gap between the new foundation and the retaining wall or on the backside of the retaining wall itself. 'These conditions will not meet the requirements of Section R401.3 as referenced above. Understand. The new roof edge will be guttered so that no roof water drips into the gap between the new addition and the existing retaining wall. 3. Waterproofing and Insulation: a. There is no indication about how the exposed concrete foundation wall at the backside of the new Master Bedroom addition will be waterproofed or insulated. Please provide additional information. I spoke with the contractor, and he said that it would be a typical 'Blue board' insulation. For the damp proofing, I am not sure what the material / spec., he wants to use, but it would be a material applied to the concrete between concrete and insulation. I have a call into him and will get you the spec asap. Will that work to allow you to proceed with review? .- /ii/////i //iii///////// ////i/////////////////-- 1/////////////////////// //11///////////////1///1 ///////////////1//////// WALL SYSTEM # 1 *FIN.
