Building permit agent reports two easement encroachments and an open violation for an unpermitted HVAC installation
Summary
Colleen Thompson, Castle Valley's building permit agent, reported two easement encroachment approvals (Lot 401, Lot 251), multiple permits in progress, and that she is pursuing a violation for an unpermitted mini‑split installed on Lot 216; she said the Grand County Building Department initiated that violation.
Colleen Thompson, the Town of Castle Valley building permit agent, briefed the Planning and Land Use Commission on permits and enforcement activity at the March 5 meeting.
Thompson reported that two easement encroachments were approved in February: a driveway work approval on Lot 401 and authorization for a trench across the road for electrical service on Lot 251. She said permits in progress included a demolition permit for a 1970s house on Lot 33 and a land-use review on Lot 401 for a driveway and parking area. An electrical installation permit for Lot 251 had been approved by the time of the meeting.
Thompson told the commission she is pursuing a violation on Lot 216 for the installation of a mini‑split heat pump without a town permit and noted that the Grand County Building Department had initiated the violation. The commission did not record a property-owner response in the meeting minutes.
At the start of the meeting the commission adopted the agenda and approved the Feb. 5 minutes; both actions passed unanimously (motions and votes recorded in the minutes). The commission did not take additional enforcement votes at the March 5 meeting. Follow-up tasks assigned at the meeting include incorporating permit updates into the minutes and staff follow-up on the Lot 216 violation.
