Colteen,
There are two existing driveways on the survey, of which the one to the West is what we were planning on
using and is existing. lt appears this existing drive has been there for a quite a while and accesses other
farm type structures. I'm out of town until Monday and attached is the revised Manual J catcutations. I'm
working with my structural engineer on the soi[ bearing comment, as wetl as providing an option to use
CMU for the foundation.

Are they devetoping a new second driveway with new road cut onto CR 214?
When I read A2.1, I sawthe existing 1-story house with the originat existing gravel driveway
When I read A2.1, I did not see this new RV/ Garage/ ADU structure utitizing a same existing driveway;
but rather another secondary access (farther WEST of the main house) teading onto CR 214.
The avaitabte aeriat photograph in Land Exptorer (betow) appears to show some significant tree growth in area of a
second d riveway access.
So I am not clear lF any of the second "gravel driveway" access to CR 2'l4is new road cut OR pre-existing atready
blessed by Garfietd County R&B??
I have a reference tist of the more commonty historic "EXEMPTED DRIVEWAY SUBDIVISIONS" here in Community
Development -
This tot tocation and parcet is nof on a tist of exempted driveway subdivisions, so I was airing on side of caution
lf there's strong affirmation they have pre- existing driveway access and are not devetoping further alterations /
changes to road cuts into CR214 -
Perhaps a quick phone catt by the owner buitder / architect into GarCo R&B can conf irm that?

We are working on these items, yet I'm unctear on the drive access permit. The existing property atready
has a drive to the existing house on the property. Whywoutd we need an exemption or any other
paperwork pertaining to this?
