TOPIC #1- SEPTIC SYSTEM DESIGN CAPACITY
The building application form lists the home is served by an OWTS (onsite wastewater
treatment system).
L.A. ls the existing home connected to a private septic system and leach field today? lf so,
how old is the septic system and is it in functional working order?
L.B. How many bedrooms does the existing home have now?
1.C. How many bedrooms will the home have after the addition is completed?

PLANS EXAMINER CONCERN:
While performing the architectural review for the home's new playroom and new bedroom
space, I searched for historic records on the original septic design. The County Assessor's office
shows an existing 2 bedroom home constructed around year 1999. Historic building records
show an older repair permit for an existing 2 bedroom septic system dated in L990. I do
believe James has labeled the existing / proposed floor plans to show no net increøse in the
bedroom count - but want to obtain something from (James) owner for the file record
expressing the size and age of the septic system. Or, if applicable, for me to update the
building records reference to reflect home is now connected to a community public sewer
service. Please respond directlyto me at cwirth@earfield-countv.com.
TOPIC #2 - STRUCTURAL ENGINEERS STAMPED DETAILS
lncluded in the building plans are unsigned, unstamped, undated foundation and framing
sheets 51, 52, 53 (presumed to have been drawn up and hand drafted by James Polowchena,
Owner Builder) and a separate Kaup Engineers Sheet 53.1 dated 03/02/2023 reference job
number 23005. All four structural pages remain unstamped and unsigned by a structural
engineer. Kaup Engineering is listed on the building application form as the project Engineer of
Record.
PLANS EXAM INER CONCERNS:
t. ls Dale Kaup the Structural Engineer of Record for the Polowchena Addition at 745 CR
I27 in Glenwood Springs?
2. Has Kaup Engineers reviewed unstamped drafted sheets 51, 52, 53, and are the (3)
pages drafted by James Polowchena intended to be companion details to KAUP
ENGINEERING Sheet 53.1 dated O3/O2/2O23?
3. Are the four submitted sheets 51, 52, 53, 53.1the final engineers approved design for
the ADDITION? lf so, could Dale Kaup or other representative forward electronically
stamped copy or other scanned stamped copy of structural sheets S1-S3.1 to me at
cwi rth @ ga rfie I d-co u ntv.com.
Thanks for your attention, I look forward to hearing a response and continuing review of
this project,
