The County has gotten away from platted building envelopes, and indeed, this one was removed last February. The new UDC, adopted in July, requires a building envelope *exhibit* be recorded at building permit (after obtaining Director approval) for all existing and new LPS lots prior to building permit approval. Please reach out to mfitz@co.routt.co.us for details on how to prepare and record a building envelope exhibit. It is significantly easier than platting a new envelope and can be done relatively quickly.
