RE: BLCO -LL-22-7922 - commercial remodel
Hello Chris,
Hope you are doing well.
Courtesy notification to let you know Garfleld County Building Dept has received a building application for an ínterior
remodel within your District's area.
Permit Applicant and building síte is GRHD, Healthcare facility, 201 Sipprelle Dríve, Town Center Filing 6 Battlement
Mesa
Work scope: existing x-ray equipment room is being replaced by a new ceiling mounted (x ray equipmentl un¡t.
Storage room, adjacent to the x-ray room, will be used to expand the size of the space to make room for the larger
equipment footprint.
They remitted the building application for remodel on LL/17 /2022.
I finished their review last evening, and confirm the interior remodel work is wholly contained wíthin the exísting
buildíng footprint.
ADDITIONAL DETAILS;
During the origínal building construction circa 2AL2-2014, this structure was classified with a B occupancy group and
Construction Type llB.
The plan documents indicate the building ls fully fire-sprinklered'
Attached SCAN for Chris Jackson includes the "fire-suppression" excerpts we received from their project manual.
No architectural changes on the floor plan drawings appear to affect existing exterior exits or driveway access for fíre
department personnel.
CONDITIONS:
CONDITION #4 has been included for your benefit.
