Re: Ross and Sue Maxwell Residence
To Whorn ..It May Concern:
To the best of our knowledge, based of construction observation, Westover Construction has built the
Maxwell Residence in accordance with the Construction Documents prepared by our office in terms of
the height of the building. In, this regard, 1 believe that the house is not built an.higher than illustrated by
the construction drawings. On the drawings, the highest ridge of the roof is at elevation 131%0". .Below
this ridge, the lowest. preexisting point of grade was 97'-6" according to survey.. Therefore, the highest
point of the roof is 33'-6" above the lowest: point of preexisting grade below.
Please call ifyou have any questions or concerns.
Sincerely,
Joseph E. Calvin, Project Architect

D. Hazard Area Delineation.
1. Geologic Hazard Areas.
a. Geologic hazard areas shall include all areas classified as 4, 5, 6 or 7 on the
Official Geologic Hazard Maps, which have been reviewed by the Colorado
Geological Survey and are incorporated by reference in this Code. Hazard areas
shall further include any areas which have not been so classified, but where a
hazard has been identified and confirmed by the Colorado Geological Survey, The
Official Geologic Hazard Maps shall be available for public review at the Town of
Estes Park Community Development Department.
b. Except for single-family residential development on lots, developments within an
identified Geologic Hazard Area shall be referred to the Colorado Geological
Survey for review and comment. At the time of application submittal, the Applicant
shall submit the required fees for the Colorado Geological Survey review.
Applicants seeking approval of single-family development on lots within an
identified Geologic Hazard Area shall be exempt from Colorado Geological Survey
review, but shall be required to submit a mitigation plan as required in subsection
E.1 below. (Ord. 18-02 #1)
c. In the event an Applicant questions the existence of a hazard area within the area
proposed for development, the Applicant may submit evidence with respect thereto
from a duly qualified Professional Geologist having requisite technical expertise.
Such evidence may be considered by the Decision -Making Body, together will all
other available evidence, in determining whether or not said development is within
a hazard area.
2. Wildfire Hazard Areas.
a. The wildfire hazard area shall include all those areas shown as "high -tree" fire
hazard areas on the Estes Valley Comprehensive Plan hazards map, which is
hereby incorporated by reference in this Code.

General Development Standards § 7.7 Geologic and Wildfire Hazard Areas
b. in the event an Applicant questions the existence of a wildfire hazard within the
proposed development, the Applicant may submit evidence with respect thereto
from a duly qualified person having requisite technical expertise. Such evidence
may be considered by the Decision -Making Body, together with all other applicable
evidence, in determining whether or not said development is within a wildfire
hazard area.
Unmapped or Unidentified Hazard Areas. if there is an indication that a hazard area
exists within all or a part of any development, which has not either been mapped or
identified as set forth in the immediately preceding sections, the responsibility shall be
on the County, Town or other public agency claiming the existence of said hazard area
to establish the extent and severity of the hazard by competent evidence from persons
having technical expertise in the field. The Estes Valley Planning Commission shall
make the determination about the existence of a hazard area.
E. Restrictions on Development.
1. Mitigation Plan Required.
a. Development that is proposed within a delineated (identified or mapped) geologic
hazard area shall be required to prepare and submit a mitigation plan prepared by
a qualified Professional Geologist designed to address how such development will
either avoid or mitigate the hazard, as more fully set forth below.
b. Development that is proposed within a delineated (identified or mapped) wildfire
hazard area shall be required to prepare and submit a mitigation plan prepared by
a qualified forester or other qualified professional designed to address how such
development will either avoid or mitigate the hazard, as more fully set forth below.
c. A complete mitigation plan, as described below, shall be part of the application
package available for the Decision -Making Body's review prior to the first public
hearing on any project.
2. Wildfire Hazards and TreeNegetation Removal. The provisions of this subsection are
intended to modify the wildfire fuel bad in areas adjacent to structures to provide a
defensible space. Accordingly, when a wildfire hazard area is identified on a
development site, the following tree/vegetation removal requirements shall apply:
a. In the area no greater than ten (10) feet wide around the perimeter of a structure
that is proposed to be constructed within a wildfire hazard area, removal of non -
fire -resistive trees and vegetation with high fuel volume or that are in poor health
shall be required. Retained trees shall be pruned to maintain a minimum
horizontal clearance of ten (10) feet between the tree crowns and any structure.
If necessary, this area may be revegetated with native grasses or ground cover
that do not have high fuel volume (e.g., succulent or similar plants used as ground
cover), provided that they do not form a means of readily transmitting fire from
native growth to any structure.
b. Native vegetation in the area beyond the first ten (10) feet and up to thirty (30) feet
from the perimeter of a structure proposed to be constructed within a wildfire
hazard area shall be selectively pruned and thinned. New vegetation or
landscaping shall consist of fire -resistive plant materials only. Native trees and
vegetation with high fuel volume shall not be planted within this area,

General Development Standards § 7,7 Geologic and Wildfire Hazard Areas
c. To more effectively mitigate an identified wildfire hazard, the Decision -Making
Body shall have the discretion to increase this outer perimeter distance up to fifty
(50) feet from the perimeter of a structure in the case of identified "high" wildfire
hazard areas and up to one hundred (100) feet from the perimeter of a structure in
the case of identified "extreme" wildfire hazard areas.
F. Mitigation Plan Requirements and Evaluation.
1. All required mitigation plans shall be submitted as part of the required application for
the land use or development approval at issue (e.g., subdivision or development plan
approval or building permit issuance), and shall be reviewed and considered within the
time frames established in Chapter 3 of this Code for such approval.
2. In reviewing a development subject to this Section, the Decision -Making Body may
deny development within a hazard area or may approve it on the condition that the
development is designed and built in such a manner as to adequately mitigate the
hazard.

Re: Maxwell Residence, Permit #7533
This letter is to document the fact that the change you noted to the ridge beams on the
Maxwell House does not negatively impact the structu.re. On the permit set of drawings,
ridges were typically shown as triple micro -lam beams flush framed. As the Maxwells and
Westover Construction were finalizing their agreement for construction, Westover
Construction suggested changing the beams to single, deeper section glu-lams, as a potential
cost savings to the project. The cost of the beams in themselves was riot so much the issue, but
rather the associated detailing. The glu-lams, which are to be exposed to the interior, are
dropped, eliminating joist hangers.
As with the original design, Thorp Associates consulted with Nicol Associates Structural
Engineers to confirm this design change. Specifically, Nicol Associates determined the
required depth for the glu-lam beams and approved the change from hangers to direct bearing
at the ridge locations.
If you have any further questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to give me a call.
