Attachments: Phase 3 Sprinkler Reqts.docx Floyd & Cindy McAdow: I am currently reviewing plans for your new residence located at Springridge Reserve — Phase 3, Lot 40. However, before we can finalize our plan review & issue a building permit, we need for you to contact the Glenwood Springs Fire District about fire sprinkler requirements as mandated by Springridge Reserve's final plat and described in greater detail below: • Fire Sprinkler System — Homes located in Springridge Reserve larger than 3,600 SF in size are required to have an automatic fire sprinkler system installed (see attached Plat Note #6). Although the size of your residence is under this square footage threshold, the total "Fire Area" as calculated by the local fire district also includes attached garage, and covered deck/patio areas with roofs above. As you can see with the calculations included below, this total fire area exceeds the 3,600 S.F. allowable size. Residence 2,930 SF Attached Garage 575 Covered Patios 465 TOTAL "FIRE AREA" 3,970 SF Fire Sprinkler System required per Final Plat since total fire area > 3,600 SF Detached Barn w/Storage Loft 1,730 SF *Note: Although not included in Fire Area above, this structure is only six feet in distance from main residence w/attached garage when measured from edge of roof to roof. Please contact Greg Bak at Glenwood Springs Fire District for additional information about the specific requirements with which your residence will need to comply. For your convenience, I have copied Greg on this email and his direct line is 384-6480. We will await hearing back from Greg and/or you before we can finalize our plan review and issue a building permit.
