If the excavation or fill location extends across property lines, includes fill depths greater than 1-foot on future potential locations for structures, alters drainage courses, creates slopes steeper than 2 horizontal to 1 vertical, or creates depressions that can be considered a holding pond, a permit is required. (A) should not be construed to allow all grading to occur without permitting. It is the opinion of the City that when the interpretation of (A) is in doubt and work cannot clearly be classified as such stated in sections (B) through (K), staff will side on the cautionary side and require a permit application to be submitted. If questions persist regarding exemption of a grading permit, the Building Official will bring such inquiries to the Technical Advisory Committee for review with other departments. The goal is not to require cumbersome permitting, but to ensure compliance with applicable standards and codes and provide legal grounds for site inspection. Please see www.co.routt.co.us for thresholds for grading and excavating permits in Rural Routt County. See Checklist for Grade and Fill Applications for the City of Steamboat Springs for grade and fill permits elsewhere in this booklet. Please refer to the Table of Contents for specific location. 19 PERMIT APPLICATIONS - Applications for permits shall be filed at the office of the Routt County Regional Building Department, located in the Routt County Courthouse Annex at 136 6th Street in Steamboat Springs, Colorado.

The building department will provide permit applicants with an “Administrative Approval Handout” which will include a map and how to schedule times when utility companies are available for review of plans and specifications. When the applicant has received all required utility and governmental approvals, they must return the application and plans to the building department. (The building department will route the application and plans to the City of Steamboat Springs for their review and approval.) LOCAL UTILITIES AND GOVERNMENTAL DEPARTMENTS. The following is a list of the utility companies and governmental departments and information about their review: Yampa Valley Electric Association. The electric utility association will review plans to verify the availability and location of electric service lines in your area, and to verify requirements for the installation of electric service to your property. They will also verify and approve an acceptable location for electric meters. (YVEA provides electric service for all of the Routt County region, with the exception of the Town of Oak Creek) Atmos Energy. The gas company will review the plans to verify the availability and location of gas service lines in your area, and will verify the requirements for the installation of gas service to your property. They will also verify and approve an acceptable location for gas meters. Water and Sanitation District. A district representative will review the plans and verify the location and size of the proposed water and sewer service lines. Water and sewer plant investment fees will be verified. (If you need to verify the availability and location of water and sewer lines for your property, contact a representative of the water and sanitation district.) Finance Department. The Steamboat Springs Finance Department will review the Construction Use Tax prepayment calculation. An informational letter will be sent to new permit holders detailing procedures to be followed regarding the City use tax deposit. A Construction Use Tax Reconciliation must be completed at the end of the project before a CO/CA is issued. Planning Department. Planning departments or other individuals responsible will review the plans for zoning compliance within the applicable land use zone. (use, building height and setbacks to property lines, etc.) The applicable planning department should be consulted for zoning requirements and restrictions prior to design work!

There will be Fire Department approvals for all County projects within the Steamboat Springs Rural Fire Protection District. Please leave your plans with the Building Department, and we will send them to their office. If you have questions regarding fire suppression and detection, and the permit application required, please contact them at 871-8216. All other approvals will need to go to the appropriate jurisdictions, (Yampa, Oak Creek, Hayden). Please be prepared to pay plan review fees when you leave your plans with us. 26 When the administrative approvals have been completed the plans will be logged in for building department plan review. The PLAN REVIEW FEE will need to be paid before the plans will be logged in for building department plan review. FEES - Fees for plan review and permits will be assessed in accordance with fee schedules adopted by the jurisdictions. The valuation, or value, to be used in computing the building permit and building plan review fees shall be the total value of construction work for which the permit is issued, including electrical, plumbing, mechanical, fireextinguishing, elevators, finish work, painting, roofing, and any other permanent equipment, based on reasonable material and labor estimates – even if you receive all of your materials for free, and you will be doing the work yourself, you must assess a value to the work being done. The building department keeps current valuation data to assist applicants with determination of value. Valuations will be reviewed by the building department to determine if they are fair and adequate, at the time of plan review. If valuations are determined to be inadequate they will be corrected and additional fees will be assessed as may be required. Permit fee schedules for estimating Routt County fees are provided at the back side of the sample permit application form Table 3A. County permits also have a $50.00 planning review fee. Permit fee schedules for estimating Steamboat Springs City review fees are provided on form Table 3J. In addition to plan review and permit fees the building department will collect use tax on building materials, for Routt County (1%) and the City of Steamboat Springs (4.75%). Use Tax is a prepayment of estimated sales tax for materials. Use tax on building materials will be assessed at a rate of 1% for Routt County and 4.75% for the City of Steamboat Springs. Use tax is calculated based on the assumption that 50% of the valuation or total value, as described above, represents the estimated cost of building materials. Example #1: Total valuation for a construction project in the City of Steamboat Springs is $100,000.00 (labor and materials). $100,000.00 X .50(50%) = $50,000.00 (estimated cost of materials). $50,000.00 X .0575(5.75%) = $2,875.00 Use Tax. Example #2: Total valuation for a construction project located in unincorporated areas of Routt County or within the Towns of Oak Creek or Yampa is $100,00.00 (labor and material). $100,000.00 X .50(50%) = $50,000.00 (estimated cost of materials). $50,000.00 X .01(1%) = $500.00 Use Tax. Excise Tax: The City of Steamboat Springs has adopted an excise tax on all construction permits commencing on January 1, 2003. The excise tax of 1.2% of the total valuation of a project will be figured along with, but separate from the City Use Tax. Both the use tax and excise tax will be collected before the permit will be issued. See office staff for homeowner exemption information. Use taxes, excise tax, city permit fees and SSRFPD fire review fees must be paid in full prior to issuance of permits. PLAN REVIEW - When the permit applicant has paid the plan review fee, the plans and specifications will be logged in for building department plan review. The building department reviews plans and specifications for conformance with adopted model codes and standards. Plan reviews will be done in the order in which they are logged in for review. The length of time required for plan review depends on the level of construction activity in the Routt County region at the time of submittal. Plan ahead for your construction project to prevent delays. When the plan review is completed the applicant will be notified of the status of the review. Plan Review Comments may include required corrections or additional information if the plans are incomplete. Applicants shall make all necessary corrections and provide all additional information required and resubmit the plans 27 and specifications for re-review. Plans and specifications which are in conformance with adopted model codes and standards will be stamped “APPROVED”. Approved plans and specifications shall not be changed, modified or altered without authorization from the building department! In order to change, modify or alter your plans, we will do an “addendum” to your plans. Please check with office staff as to the addendum procedure. PERMIT ISSUANCE - When the plans and specifications have been approved, the applicant will need to pay all applicable fees and make sure that permits for building service equipment have been properly obtained, prior to permit issuance. Please note that sub-permit fees are excluded from the building permit fees due. There are example worksheets in the back of this booklet for information on these sub-permit fees. Office staff would also be able to help you figure these costs. ISSUANCE. The permit-holder will be given one set of approved plans and specifications, and a Property Identification card. The owner’s copy of approved plans shall remain at the job site and be available for the inspectors at the time of inspections. The building department copy of the approved plans will be kept on file. The property identification card shall be posted at the construction site, so as to be readily visible from the public street or road during construction. Please remember to post your address, clearly visible from the road, prior to the final inspections. SUSPENSION, REVOCATION OR EXPIRATION. The building official may, in writing, suspend or revoke a permit when the permit is issued in error or on the basis of incorrect information supplied, or in violation of an ordinance or regulation or the provisions of the codes. Building permits expire after 3 years. If an extension is requested a new current year permit will be issued with payment of half of the original building permit fee. 28 ROUTT COUNTY SITE PLAN INFORMATION A.

The Routt County Surveyor has identified parcels throughout the county which involve boundary line discrepancies. These parcels have been identified by the Planning Department. Upon review of your building plans if an identified parcel is revealed the Planning Department will require the landowner to obtain a new survey, resolve the problem with adjoining landowners, or institute an appropriate civil action. *Reviews may trigger an application for a planning agreement, such as a large lot agreement or Board of Adjustment (BOA) application which must be completed prior to the approval of the building permit. The basic fee for building permit reviews is $50.00 assessed by the building department. Additional staff time spent to review, research or produce a planning agreement is billed at $120.00 per hour. An electronic version of the Routt County Zoning and Subdivision Regulations are at www.co.routt.co.us/planning or a hard copy can be purchased for $35.00 from the Planning Department on the second floor of the annex building at 136 6th Street, Steamboat Springs, CO. 29 COUNTY PLANNING SITE PLAN REVIEW CHECKLIST PARCEL # ____________________ Name: Address: _______________________ Zone District: ____________________ Application Number: _______________ What is the use of the structure? ________________________ Is it an allowed use? □ By Right □ By Permit Date Permit received ______________ Site Plan should include the following: □ □ □ □ □ □ □ □ □ Drawn to scale (show scale) Existing topographical contour lines at two foot intervals for all disturbed areas Site orientation (North Arrow) Legal description and property address Lot lines and property size _____ Adjacent road and street names Easements and rights-of-ways Proposed and existing utility improvements Setback for structure: from property lines, from centerline of public roadways and from waterbodies (minimum of 50 feet for waterbodies) □ □ □ □ □ □ □ □ □ □ □ □ Access driveways illustrating grades, sidewalks, parking, paving and curb cuts Location of wells and individual sewage disposal systems Flood plain delineation (note if not applicable) Date of lot creation if less than 35 acres and zoned A/F Any other structures on property Special agreements, notes on plat, etc. Does the proposal require a waterbody crossing permit?

This system is to develop accurate records for emergency services (E911), which in turn affects utility and delivery services, and rural postal delivery. Due to concerns from the emergency responders in Routt County, the “Routt County Road Addressing, Naming and Signing Policy” was adopted by the Board of County Commissioners on January 16, 1996. Copies of the complete Policy are available at the GIS Department. As a brief overview, this policy states that every road existing, proposed, or constructed which provides or will provide access to two or more buildable lots shall be identified with a unique road name to clearly identify the road. You and your neighbors may have the choice to name your access road if a name has not already been established (road name can be no longer than 12 characters including spaces). If a road name has not been established a petition for road name will be processed through the GIS Department and a road name adopted by the Routt County Commissioners. A road name must be established prior to the issuance of building permits on lots accessed by such road. All roads that provide access to two or more buildable lots must be marked with the appropriate signage. Signage for private roads is the responsibility of the landowners accessed by such road and can be purchased through the Routt County Road and Bridge Department. Road identification signs for private roads shall have a brown base with white letters. These signs shall be reflective and the letters or numbers shall be 5 inches in height. Final inspections and certificates of occupancy ("C.O.") may be withheld if roads are not marked with the appropriate signage. Every buildable lot and each commercial or residential unit will be given an address number, which is required prior to issuance of a building permit. Numbers shall be displayed clearly from the road at all times. Consideration should be made in regard to visibility due to seasonal changes, landscaping, daylight and evening lighting. For buildings that are not visible from the street, address characters shall be affixed to a free-standing sign or post located adjacent to the road on which the property is addressed. Routt County recommends the use of reflective numbers to enhance visibility at night. Failure to display the address of a lot or structure may be grounds for refusing to make inspections or for withholding of a C.O. by the Building Department. Remember . . . road signage and numbers are to help emergency responders find you. We hope you never have to call E911, but if you do, the more conspicuous the road name and your address number the faster you can be served. 31 This page left blank intentionally. 32 CITY OF STEAMBOAT SPRINGS SITE PLAN INFORMATION A.

Inspection requests may be filed in person at the building department office, or by entering a request on the Telephone Inspection Processing System (T.I.P.S.) by calling the number below, or through the website at www.co.routt.co.us/building . Inspections may be scheduled on the T.I.P.S. line or on the website through midnight the day prior to the inspection. All requests made through personal contact with the office must be received before 4:00 PM the day prior to inspection. Note: in addition to TIPS, permit holders are responsible for contacting other inspecting agencies (such as City Public Works or County Road and Bridge) directly. TELEPHONE INSPECTION PROCESSING SYSTEM T.I.P.S. T.I.P.S. (Telephone Inspection Processing System) is an automated phone and Internet system that allows you to Schedule / cancel / reschedule inspections; Get inspection results; Obtain plan review status; and Obtain documents via FAX. The T.I.P.S. phone number is 970-879-0013. The T.I.P.S. system will guide you through the steps. After you use the system, you’ll discover how convenient it is. T.I.P.S. is available twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, except for daily maintenance during the night. For a next working day inspection, you must enter your request before midnight 12:00 a.m. Friday Saturday & Sunday requests are scheduled for Monday. Weekend and governmental holidays are not considered working days. Inspections will be scheduled for the next working day, unless you choose otherwise in the system. You are able to schedule inspections up to five days out. If for any reason the system is unable to complete your transaction, please hang up and call the office (970.870.5566) for staff help during business hours 8:00 – 4:00, or leave a message on the office line. Inspections requested for the same day are subject to available time. To schedule an inspection you will need the following: Your permit number (please use the letters and numbers on your key pad to enter). The three digit code(s) you would like to schedule, as shown on your job card stapled on the left hand side of your Owner Site set of plans or the T.I.P.S. brochure Be sure to confirm the inspection by choosing #1 at the end of the process! Important: For Special Instructions for the Inspector, please call the office before 4:00 p.m. at 970.870.5566 to schedule the inspection and to give your specifics regarding building access or gate combinations. It is always a good idea to call the office between 8:00 and 8:30 a.m. the morning of the inspection to see where the inspector has you in his inspection schedule. 45 To schedule a re-inspection in the case where your inspection was not approved, simply use the same information you initially used to schedule the inspection, and schedule your inspection again. The T.I.P.S. line may say “This inspection has already passed. Would you still like to schedule this inspection?” Choose #1 for yes, and continue on with the automated system. To re-schedule or cancel a same-day inspection you must call the office at 970.870.5566 between 8:00 and 8:30 a.m. on the day of the inspection. To cancel or re-schedule inspections for other than same-day you will need: The permit number; The three digit code of the inspection you want to cancel; and The date the inspection is to occur. Please note that a re-inspection fee may be charged for inspections that are not ready and are not cancelled or rescheduled. To check plan review status you only need the permit number. Please use the letters and the numbers on your keypad to enter the permit number then follow the automated instructions. Using the Internet to schedule an inspection: The website address is www.co.routt.co.us/building. Click on the rust colored rectangular box “Schedule Inspections”, fill in the permit number, the inspection code and click the submit button. Be sure to confirm your request! You may also “select” “cancel”, “re-schedule” or “get results” for an inspection. Please remember that same-day cancellations and re-schedules must be done by calling the office at 970.870.5566 between 8:00 and 8:30 a.m. the day of the inspection. Will T.I.P.S. ever not allow an inspection to be scheduled? YES. If fees are due, and a full permit or sub permits need to be issued, no inspections will be able to be scheduled until those fees are paid. You may schedule an inspection after the permit has been issued. If the three-digit number of the inspection you want to schedule has not been entered into your choices, you will not be able to schedule an inspection. Please call the office at 970.870.5566 to make the appropriate changes, and to schedule the needed inspection(s). What inspections are required for my project? The inspection item numbers are printed on the backside of your permit card that is attached to the Owner Site copy of the plans, on the left hand side. Please use the last three digits when scheduling an inspection. These are the same inspection numbers that are attached to your permit in our computer files. The T.I.P.S. system can fax you a list of all inspections. Or, pick up a T.I.P.S. brochure at the Building Department. Some inspections listed may not be attached to your permit. WORK READY FOR INSPECTION. It is the responsibility of individuals scheduling inspections to make sure the work is ready to be inspected and that the job is accessible and exposed for inspection purposes. A reinspection fee will be assessed for work that is not ready and the inspection has not been canceled. Please schedule building, electrical, plumbing and mechanical rough-in or final inspections for the same day! Due to the large geographical area served and the travel time involved, it is impractical for building department inspectors to make numerous trips to an individual job site for rough-in or final inspections. APPROVED PLANS AT JOB SITE. The owner’s copy of the approved plans and specifications shall be readily available, at the construction site, for inspectors at the time of inspection. The owner’s or construction site copy shall be maintained in legible condition. INSPECTIONS WILL NOT BE DONE IF APPROVED PLANS ARE NOT AVAILABLE. Please be sure to post your Property Identification Card with a separate address clearly visible from the road before inspection. 46 REQUIRED INSPECTIONS - All construction or work for which a permit is required shall be subject to all inspections required by the adopted model codes and standards. Please see the Owner’s Site Copy for a list of required inspections stapled to the left-hand side of your plans. Or pick-up a T.I.P.S. brochure. Contact City Public Works for more information on City Preliminary and Final ROW inspection requirements. To minimize delay of inspection approvals, please check to see that the work is in reasonable compliance with the approved plans and specifications prior to requesting inspections. Work shall not be done on any part of the building systems, building or structure beyond the point indicated in each successive inspection without first obtaining the approval of the building department.
