Regarding: Berger Residence Deck Renovation
Location: 5166A Black Gore Drive
Vail, CO 81657
Parcel Number: 2099-182-12-012
Subdivision: Gore Creek Subdivision, Block 1, Lot 4N
The DRB Submission request to following revisions;
1. At a grade-level bedroom on the East side, replace an existing fixed window with an
operable casement window of the same size and color.
2. The bases of the existing 8x8 columns have been damaged by water intrusion due to
faulty construction of stucco base elements. At the existing upper level deck, the glu-lam
beams at the perimeter have been damaged by water intrusion due to faulty water
proofing construction methods. The existing deck framing and heated stamped
concrete deck surface have not been damaged and can remain intact. The following
revisions are proposed;
a. New 8x8 heavy timber columns in the same locations as existing.
b. New glu-lam beams at the perimeter of the deck in the same location as existing.
c. Consequently, the existing wood railing will have to be replaced with a new
railing to match existing.
i. All new wood will be stained to match the exiting wood stain color
ii. All new metal fasteners will be painted brown to match the wood stain as
closely as possible.
iii. Due to improper detailing and construction methods, the following
changes are proposed for the new deck construction to avoid future
water intrusion;
1. A metal angle approximately 5.25”x6”x1/4” at the edge of the existing
concrete decking as an improved water proofing detail. The metal will be
powder coated brown to match the wood stain color as closely as possible.
2. The 8x8 wood columns will not extend above the beam, and will
not be part of the railing. They will be attached to the bottom of
and support the new glu-lam beams at the perimeter of the deck.
3. The existing concrete piers will be cut down to 1” above the
existing concrete patio, and the new 8x8 heavy timber columns
will be connected with a new 1“ base plate and through bolts.
