RE: 33 St. Finnbar Farm, Barn Permit
Buildine Heieht - Following our conversation I consulted with Glenn Hartmann, our Planning Manager, about
my determination that this project is classified as "Residential" and therefore subject to the 2S-foot building
height limitation. Following a detailed conversation with Glenn focused on Land Use & Development Code
definitions and intent of Zone District Dimensional Limitations (Table 3-20L) we do not have the ability to
support your position that this barn structure qualifies as "Non-Residential" and it is therefore required to
comply with the 25-foot building height requirements.
Engineered Site Grading & Drainage Requirement - Just to reiterate our conversation, given that plans for the
primary residence (Building Permit #BLRE-07-21-6979) already included site grading plans as prepared by
Roaring Fork Engineering, we will waive this requirement for the barn project. However, we will still require an
Engineer's certification that flood plain issues and requirements referenced in Plat Note #14 have all been
addressed at both project locations (primary residence + barn).
Let me know if you have any further questions

Patrick & Ken:
First off, my apologies for our office not getting back to you in a more timely fashion with regard to the above
referenced building permit application. As you may be aware, the Building Department has been significantly short
staffed since October and our turnaround timeframes have been adversely affected by this situation. I have recently
returned to Garfield County to become the new Chief Building Official and although we are still looking to fill a Building
lnspector position, we hope to be back to full strength soon.
I have recently stepped in to provide plan review services on the Switzer Barn project, and there are several issues that
must first be addressed prior to issuance of a building permit for this project. As part of my plan review commentary, I
have enclosed a couple of attachments more clearly identifying our questions or concerns and these attachments
include:
o Plan Review Correction Report
¡ PolicY Directive & lnformation Sheet
Thanks again for your patience and please let us know if you have any questions.
