Bruce:
Got your voicemail message from yesterday regarding calculation of "fire area" on this project and thought it would be
best to respond to both you & Tim Hagman via emailto avoid possible confusion.
Basically, the total "fire area" includes total roofed area (including covered decks, patios, porches) plus uncovered wood-
frame decks (but not non-flammable patios - concrete, flagstone, etc.) The total fire area therefore includes all interior
floor square footage - including garages - as measured to outside face of wood studs or concrete. We do not, however,
typically include normal roof eave overhangs in the total fire area calculations.
My calculations were based on the footprint size as shown on the building permit drawings submitted with this building
permit application. lf you wish to contradict or propose alternative square footage calculations, you will need to submit
those calculations to our office for consideration. However, we ask that those drawings/calculation to be prepared and
stamped by Tim Hagman, since he has been the Architect of record for the duration of th¡s project (no offense to you,
personally, please understand).
It's still in your (and your client's) best interests to get together with Bill Gavette to discuss this project, since we will be
looking to Bill for local fire district requirements.

Dear Dave,
Thank you for your reply. I am working with Tim to certify the existing and proposed square footage of
"fire area" as you described. Unfortunately, the Area Diagram in the submittal set showed the garage
area inaccurately. When we confirm the areas, we will submit to you the revised calculations.
After we have completed that exercise, we will contact Bill Gavette to discuss the project
Sincerely,
Bruce Upton

84 Puma Aspen Glen Lot E-10 - Permit #BLRE-06-19-5784
Aspen Glen Bldg Envelopes Policy 03-13.pdf
Bruce
I have reviewed the plans for an addition to 84 Puma Lane in Aspen Glen, but before we can finalize our plan review we
require additional information including the following items:
A. Site Plan stamped bv Architect or Engineer - Roof overhangs must be fully located within the constraints of
building envelopes at Aspen Glen (see attached Policy 03-L3 "Aspen Glen PUD Building Envelopes"). Per the
submitted plans, it appears as though roof overhangs extend beyond the building envelope. Please provide our
office with a clearly dimensioned site plan illustrating all elements of proposed addition - including line of
foundation and roof overhangs above - will be fully contained within constraints of the new proposed building
envelope. This illustration must be a site plan that is stamped by either a licensed Professional Engineer or a
licensed Architect.
B. Fire Sorinkler Reouireme & SiEn-Off bv Fire District -The proposed addition to this residence results in a
total "fire area" that exceeds 6,200 S.F. which is the maximum allowable size for homes located within the
Aspen Glen PUD without an automatic fire sprinkler system. Please note that/r're oreø includes all areas under
roof (garages, covered decks & porches, etc.) The Building Dept. requires that you review these plans with Bill
Gavette at Carbondale Fire District, and provide us with a sign-off letter or email from Bill for this project. We
suggest that you schedule a meeting with Bill at your earliest opportunity to determine whether or not a fire
sprinkler system will be required as a result of this new addition.
Please address these items at your earliest opportunity so that we can issue a building permit in a timely manner once
approvalforthe proposed Building Envelope has been granted from our Planning Dept. ln the meantime, plans will be
placed in our "pending projects" file awaiting action on your part and the previously referenced Land Use Change Permit
for the amended Building Envelope.
Thank you for your attention to this matter

Policy 03-13
Aspen Glen PUD Building Envelopes
August 5,2OL3 - revised August 28,2OL3
The Aspen Glen PUD was approved pursuant to Resolution 92-056 (recorded at Reception No.436262;
Book 835, Page 305). The PUD zone district requirements are contained in a document attached to the
approved resolution. ln regard to building envelopes:
r Findings 9.f. required that adequate privacy be provided between the dwelling units through lot
sizing, building envelopes and architectural control.
. Cond¡tion of Approval #17 required that the Preliminary Plan have a building envelope
designated for every lot to avoid sinkholes within the PUD and that all building envelopes shown
on the Final Plat shall be consistent with those shown on the Preliminary Plan.
. Condition of Approval #65 required that all building envelopes be located on lots such that no
wetlands would be impacted by foundation, accessory buildings, driveways or other accessory
structu res.
The PUD guide for Aspen Glen specifically references both Setbacks and Building Envelopes, indicating
that these two terms have different meanings.
Consistent with the Zoning Resolution of 1978, the generally accepted definition for setback is as
follows: "The minimum horizontal distance between the front, rear, or side property line and the front,
rear, or side of a structure." Per the same resolution, (the adopted land use code at the time of Aspen
Glen PUD approval), and per the Land Use and Development Code 2013 (the currently adopted land use
code) setbacks allow for specific projections into a setback depending upon the type of architectural
feature (see L978 Zoning Resolution section 2.02.48 and 2.02.54 and LUDC 2013 section 3-202.Gl,.
Setbacks create an area in which one can build, but allow for specific types of projections
¡r.¡ti ¡
r-s"
Though not specifically defined in the Zoning Resolution of L978, the common understanding of Building
Envelope and the adopted definition per the LUDC 2013 is "A designated area within a lot or parcel in
llPage
which a// structures and development shall be constructed or occur, unless specifically excepted or
exempted including but not limited to, excavation, landscaping, building, grading, demolition, or filling.
This is consistent with terminology used in the Aspen Glen PUD guide, for example the guide states
"Each estate lot will have a predetermined building envelope within which all structures will be
confined."
ln summary, Building Envelopes are areas in which all structures shall be contained within the
deslgnated envelope area. On the other hand, setbacks are allowed to have projections as permitted in
the adopted land use code. This does not allow for projections of any kind or structures requiring
building permits to be constructed outside of the designated building envelope but does allow for
landscaping and other similar types of improvements. Because the Aspen Glen approvals incorporate
both Building Envelopes and Setbacks, the more restrictive designation controls.
Historically, the County has not reviewed or limited the types of activities that have occurred outside of
the building envelope, including improvements such as landscaping, patios and walls, so long as they do
not require a building permit. The County will continue to leave up to the discretion of the Aspen Glen
Design Review Committee what type of improvements can occur outside of the building envelope so
long as they do not require County review and issuance of a building permit.
Within the Aspen Glen PUD, where it is known that there are designated building envelopes, both the
Plat for an individual lot as well as the PUD guide should be reviewed before approving any building
permit to ensure that both the building envelope and required setbacks are being met. Any request to
amend a building envelope shall be processed as an amendment of a final plat.
Building Envelopes create an area in which all building must be contained,

HiClaire,
Doing well, thanks. And thank you for getting back promptly, hope the list below is what you need
i,. I did include a letter, 3 copies, from Terry Butler saying: "1, Terry Butler, give Tim Hagman authority to act on my
behalf during the
permitting process." ls there some other form you would like from her?
2. Bruce Upton will be providing the Mineral rights information.
3. The wall shown on the Plat is an existing boulder wall that was built when the home was originally constructed,
in 2002. No changes to it are planned.
4. The roof overhangs will be within the revised envelope. I first checked with Deborah Prince, she said that OH's
need to be within the enveloPe.
I think we are in good shape with everything, let me know if you have any further questions or requests

rights research. I have attached this form that you can fill out as well as a memo detailing mineral rights research. Please
don't hesitate to give me a call about any of this - | will be out of the office this week Wednesday through Friday but am
available to answer questions today and tomorrow.
Thanks,

Re: Referral for the Proposed Aménded Plat for Lot E-10 / 84 Puma Aspen Glen
Dear Tlicia,
This letter is to confirm that the Aspen Glen Design Review Committee (DRC) review'ed
the proposed plat amendment to adjust the building envelope on lot E-10, to
accommodate the addition of an enclosed living space and overhang within an adjusted
building envelope. The DRC reviewed the plat amendment at the April3rd,2019 regular
meeting.
The DRC noticed property owners within the vicinity of the property and there were no
objections.
The DRC reÇommends approval to the Garfield County Board of County Commissioners
with the following conditions:
1. A copy of the recorded amended plat shall be provided to the Aspen Glen DRC.
2. It is the responsibility of the property owner to ensure that this building envelope
adjustment does not negatively affect the drainage easement or the pond.
3. The DRC is with the understanding that the architect, Tim Hagman, reviewed the
project with the groundskeeper, Jake Falke at ClubCorp, on 4lI5lI9 and received
approval in regard to proximity to adjacent pond.
4. The DRC has only approved the building envelope modification. Any further
improvements to the property require final DRC review and approval.
