conveyed or that the landscaping has not established itself within
a 2-year period from the initial installation or in the event that
the required design review compliance and cleanup is not accomplished
in a timely manner, after reasonable notice by the town to the owner
of the subject property of such failure, then the town may cause such
cleanup and/or design review compliance to be performed, or may cause
such project or building to be abated, utilizing such deposit or bond
to offset any costs incurred, and, in the event such costs exceed
the deposit or bond, the town shall have a lien upon the subject property
in such amount, which lien, along with all costs and attorney's fees
incurred, may be enforced and foreclosed in the same manner as general
mechanic's liens in the State of Colorado.

submitted to the Town. The surveyor making the location certificate
shall certify thereon that it is correct, and shall include the height
and setbacks of the building as required in Chapter 21 of the Code
of the Town of Mt. Crested Butte, Colorado, and that the improvements,
as built, comply with the zoning requirements as detailed upon the
design approval issued by the Town of Mt. Crested Butte, Colorado.
9.
Should
no inspection be requested by the original permittee who paid the
deposit within three years of the date the certificate of occupancy
or temporary certificate of occupancy is issued, and if in the opinion
of the zoning administrator, the project is complete and no design
review compliance mitigation is necessary to be performed by the Town,
the Town shall notify the original permittee who paid the deposit,
in writing, at the address stated on the permit application, or such
other address provided in writing, that they must request an inspection
within 30 days of the date of the notice, or they shall forfeit their
deposit to the Town. It is the responsibility of the person or entity
paying the deposit to notify the Town of any changes in their mailing
address in writing.

well egress must be high enough above grade to allow egress but should
not be more than nine feet above the grade upon which the window well

used for egress above the adjacent grade to prevent snow from backing
into the window well and to prevent pedestrians from inadvertently
