STAFF REPORT
Date:May 31,2012
From:Chad Gray,Building &Code Compliance Lead Inspector
To:Karen Thompson
Project Name:Caidwell Residence Variance Request
Parcel No:35341-00-025
This is a request for a variance to allow a proposed deck with partial covered roof to
be 8 feet from the west property instead of 25 feet.There are two building permit
issues associated with this property,described below:
•Building Permit 91E8094 was issued on 8/6/199 1 for a wood stove that
expired with a correction,The wood stove required a 16 inch hearth
extension.
•Building permit 01-M0916 was issued on 9/24/2001 For a furnace
replacement.The permit expired without any inspections.
STAFF COMMNI:The application appears to be complete.Code Compliance has
no issues with the variance being approved for the deck with partial covered roof,
The owner must obtain final inspection approval for the wood stove expired permit.
If the furnace was replaced,a new miscellaneous permit must be obtained with
final inspection approval.It is not necessary to cielay the timely processing of this
planning application for these building permit issues.
Code Compliance staff are available to assist the owner in obtaining inspections and
permits.Please feel free to call Code Compliance Officer Eric Fried at (970)498-
7706 with questions.

Hi Dave,
The only comment I have on this deck variance is that they will need a building permit for it.We will
need two sets of plans for the deck drawn to an approved scale,such as:1/4 inch =1 foot.Also the
applicant should note that the center piers to support the deck typically need to be larger than the out
piers due to supporting the beam loads from two directions.The rough plans appeared to show all io
inch piers which are not usually large enough for the center piers unless sitting on and anchored to
bedrock.
Respectfully submitted,
Stan
