Box 2235, GLENWOOD SPRINGS, COLORADO 83641 PHONE (970) 379-3253 tresateEiv sopris.net December 16. 2014 Mr. Carlson Cafritz Aspen Commercial, LLC 422 E. Hyman Ave Aspen. CO 81611 970-544-9000 Subject. Vegetation management and additional recommendations for wildfire hazard mitigation for your property located at 122 Mt. Laurel Drive, Mountain Valley Subdivision, Pitkin County, Colorado Dear Mr. Cafritz. On Tuesday, December 9`h at your request, I visited this property to review and evaluate the wildfire hazard on the property. I walked the property, took several photos and evaluated the existing conditions. As you told me there are some trees very close to the house. Most of the trees close to the house are aspen and a few are conifer. Although I don't consider the aspen to present the same level of hazard as the conifer, in my opinion it is not acceptable to have trees or brush up against the house especially if the branches overhang the roof or decks. My recommendation is to remove aspen trees that have branches overhanging the roof or the deck and to remove conifer to maintain them at a distance of at least 104eet from any portion of the house. The conifer trees on the property have branches that are growing close to the ground and there are some low growing woody plants and native grasses under the trees. In the event of grass fire from whatever reason, the woody growth and grasses could ladder the flames into the tree canopy and increase the fire hazard. My recommendation is to remove conifer within 10 -feet of the house and to maintain grasses at 6 -inches or less. I also recommend removing any standing dead and dead fall as well as any wood walkways or edging that extends up to the house. In the event of a creeping ground fire this can cause fire to extend to the house. You mentioned that you have three wood burning fireplaces in the home. My recommendation is that the termination of the chimneys be screened with steel mesh spark arresters with opening of no more than E/4 inch to protect against embers landing on the roof, decks or vegetation around the house. I also recommend that firewood not he stored under the house or the decks. Firewood should be stored cross slope �'dl Feast 15 -feet from any combustible structure. ) n County JAN 16 2015 CommurAy Devefopmern 04042015 FNM I again looked at the electrical distribution line along the easement and I can't identify any specific hazard associated with it. In reviewing my photo of the power pole and the transformer I don't believe that it would be out of line to request the electrical supplier to look at it to confirm that the installation is appropriate. If you or your insurance underwriter have any questions, comments or require additional information please contact me and I will be happy to help.
