The existing garage = 579 SF
The addition = 886 SF
Total = 3300 SF. So we should be ok. Please let me know íf you have any further questions of needed clarification.

BLRE-O3-22-7379 - Broughton addition project UNDER
REVIEW
Hello Kyle and Scot,
CC: Greg Bak
Forgive the longish email, bear with me....
I am currently reviewíng the addition plans for 499 Hidden Valley Dr, Lot 69, Springridge Reserve and am
potentíally concerned with the overall building square feet as it relates to Springridge Reserve recorded
plat note #6 and the need to include fire-sprinklers.
<image001.png>
Garfield County Building Department use "fire area" to measure the 3,600 allowable square feet before
a home in Spríngridge Reserve is required to be fire-sprinklered. For your consideration, is the definition
of FIRE AREA from the lBC. Also below are some plans examiner notes I gathered from the orígínal
home build design for Lot 69 coupled wíth your dimensional references for the proposed addition
recently receipted on March 9 2022.
"FtRE AREA" is defined in the currently adopted 2015 lnternat¡onal Building Code (lBC), Chapter 2
DEFINITIONS: as The aggregate floor area enclosed, and bounded by fire walls fire barriers, exterior
walls or horizontal assemblies of a building. Areas of the building not provided with surrounding
walls shall be included in the fire area if such areas are include within the hor¡zonta¡ pro¡ect¡on of the
roof or floor next above.
From the original building permit notes, original residentíal house living area = 1,831 sq ft plus attached
garage = 625 sQ ft plus l-95 covered porch / deck horizontal roof projection totals approximately 2,651
sq ft total FIRE AREA. From remitted architectural sheets for the addition, l'm showing L,L78 sq ft
proposed living addition (with horiz roof projections over covered porch) along WEST SIDE plus L82 sq ft
covered roof horizontal roof projection along NORTH SIDE for a new comb¡ned total F¡RE AREA of 4011
square feet.
Kyle or Scot, ín your capacity as the lot owner and licensed architect of record, could you please re-
examíne the existing and proposed building areas and confirm f there are corrections or updates to the
accumulative square feet? lt would be helpful to understand if the existing / proposed horizontal roof
projections are made of combustible or non-combustible construction materials or if any existing
horizontal roof projections wíll be effectively "removed" due to proposed newly enclosed
"additions". lF the proposed addition puts you near and over the 3,600 square foot threshold - I highly
recommend contacting Greg Bak, Fire Marshal, Glenwood Springs Rural Fire Protection District, at (970)
384-6480 or greg.bak@cogs.us at your earliest convenience to begin a díscussion on a possíble plan to
meet compliance with PLAT NOTE 6. While Greg will need to be in the loop on your proposed plan or
allowable alternatives, I would need to receive (2) sets of hard copy sheets to any architectural /
structural changes to the exísting / proposed building assembly. Should you proceed with retrofitting a
fire sprinkler system, all fire sprinkler permits, plan reviews and rough-in and final sprinkler inspections
will be administered directly by the fire district. I will cc: Greg so he is "ín the loop".
From recent case research, I am íncluding some alternative requirements as kept internally by the
preceding plans examiner, should that be of some use and benefit to you now.
