Avery Park Low density residentia
This is a request to allow a 10-ft set back from the back property line to locate an 18-ft diameter
grow dome/greenhouse for private use. Because of the shape of the property the existing
residence partially shades the greenhouse but this can be largely mitigated by the 5-ft shift in
location. The area beyond the property line is an area of grassy field and and shrubby trees, with
a gazebo located about 75-ft from the property line.

Additional Justification
September 2, 2021
TO: City of Fort Collins Zoning Board
FROM: Whitney Cranshaw
RE: Request for variance to 10-ft set-back from back property line for accessory building
I wish to build an 18-ft diameter grow dome/greenhouse in the NE corner of 1401 West Lake
Street. This will be a private greenhouse that I will use for growing produce and for
professional studies I wish to continue in retirement related to horticulture and entomology.
In the enclosure #3 is a map of the property showing where I hope we can locate this structure.
The map is an old one of the property (2004), provided by your office to me, but the structures
on the property shown remain the same.
The site is partially shaded by the existing residence located on the property and this variance is
being requested since the shading of the greenhouse will be substantially greater with the 15-ft
set-back.
The property behind the back fence line is an area bordered by an irrigation ditch that includes
a small grassy field and shrubby trees. Approximately 75 feet from the property line is a gazebo
that is used infrequently by the owner of the adjacent property, a church. An existing fence and
trees between the gazebo and the proposed structure would largely, if not completely, prevent
viewing of the greenhouse from the occasionally used gazebo structure.
It is offered that this proposal will not diverge from the Land Use Code standards except in a
nominal, inconsequential way when considered in the context of the neighborhood and that
the variance will help mitigate a hardship (shading by the existing residence).
Thank you for considering this request.

Application Request
for Variance from the Land Use Code
The Zoning Board of Appeals has been granted the authority to approve variances from the requirements of
Articles 3 and 4 of the Land Use Code. The Zoning Board of Appeals shall not authorize any use in a zoning district
other than those uses which are specifically permitted in the zoning district. The Board may grant variances where it
finds that the modification of the standard would not be detrimental to the public good. Additionally, the variance
request must meet at least one of the following justification reasons :
(1) by reason of exceptional physical conditions or other extraordinary and exceptional situations unique to the
property, including, but not lim ited to physical conditions such as exceptional narrowness, shallowness, or
topography, the strict application of the code requirem ents would result in unusual and exceptional practical
difficulties or undue hardship upon the occupant/applicant of the property, provided that such difficulties or
hardship are not caused by an act or omission of the occupant/applicant (i.e. not self-im posed);
(2) the proposal will promote the general purpose of the standard for which the variance is requested equally
well or better than would a proposal which complies with the standard for which the variance is requested;
(3) the proposal will not diverge from the Land Use Code standards except in a nominal, inconsequential way
when considered in the context of the neighborhood.
This application is only for a variance to the Land Use Code. Building Code requirements will be determined
and reviewed by the Building Department separately. When a building or sign permit is required for any
work for which a variance has been granted, the permit must be obtained within 6 months of the date that
the variance was granted.
However, for good cause shown by the applicant, the Zoning Board of Appeals may consider a one-time 6 month
extension if reasonable and necessary under the facts and circumstances of the case. An extension request must
be submitted before 6 months from the date that the variance was granted has lapsed.
Petitioner or Petitioner’s Representative must be present at the meeting

501 Edwards St
We would ask that.
To be granted a variance of an addition 2 foot incrochment on the west side
of our lot. this would leave a set back of 7'4" to the property line and 31.5
feet to the street
Previous Variance and Current Conditions
We were granted a variance to acomidate a small overage in total building
space and for a front porch overhange of the upper level. We missed that
the total builing height from grade could not exede 18 feet without moving
the structue an additional foot from the east lot line. It is not possable for
us to constuct the home with 8' ceiling on each level and still achive the 18'
height. Additionally we would like to build using 9' ceilings on the main
level. We have already designed the home with floor joist are set below
the top of foundation to accomidate the final height.
Site Conditions :
501 Edwards St currently has a house on the property that sits 3.5 feet off
of the east lot line and 10 feet off of the west lot line. Additionally there is
a 24 foot right of way between the property line and the street on the west
side creating a total set back from the curb of 34 feet to the current
structure.
This corner lot is 40 feet wide and 140 feet deep, making it the
same dimensions as the neighboring interior lots despite its corner
location. There is however public right of way
that separates the property from the street on the west of another 24 feet
by 140 feet.
Current set back requirements for this corner lot would require that any
building be 5 feet from the east lot line, and 15 feet from the west lot line.
This would only leave a buildable width of 20 feet. While most corner lots
are wider than the adjoining interior lots that is not the case with
501 Edwards. We do however have an additional 24
foot public easement to the west.
1
Proposed Home:
We would like to build a new house on the existing lot. The
new building would be the same width as the existing structure (east
west). We propose that the new building footprint be shifted to the
west approx. 1.5 feet to meet the side yard requirements. This would leave
a total distance of approx. 9 feet to the property line, with
and additional 24 feet of right of way giving a total set back
of approximately 33 feet from the street.

Application Request
for Variance from the Land Use Code
The Zoning Board of Appeals has been granted the authority to approve variances from the requirements of
Articles 3 and 4 of the Land Use Code. The Zoning Board of Appeals shall not authorize any use in a zoning district
other than those uses which are specifically permitted in the zoning district. The Board may grant variances where it
finds that the modification of the standard would not be detrimental to the public good. Additionally, the variance
request must meet at least one of the following justification reasons :
(1) by reason of exceptional physical conditions or other extraordinary and exceptional situations unique to the
property, including, but not lim ited to physical conditions such as exceptional narrowness, shallowness, or
topography, the strict application of the code requirem ents would result in unusual and exceptional practical
difficulties or undue hardship upon the occupant/applicant of the property, provided that such difficulties or
hardship are not caused by an act or omission of the occupant/applicant (i.e. not self-im posed);
(2) the proposal will promote the general purpose of the standard for which the variance is requested equally
well or better than would a proposal which complies with the standard for which the variance is requested;
(3) the proposal will not diverge from the Land Use Code standards except in a nominal, inconsequential way
when considered in the context of the neighborhood.
This application is only for a variance to the Land Use Code. Building Code requirements will be determined
and reviewed by the Building Department separately. When a building or sign permit is required for any
work for which a variance has been granted, the permit must be obtained within 6 months of the date that
the variance was granted.
However, for good cause shown by the applicant, the Zoning Board of Appeals may consider a one-time 6 month
extension if reasonable and necessary under the facts and circumstances of the case. An extension request must
be submitted before 6 months from the date that the variance was granted has lapsed.
Petitioner or Petitioner’s Representative must be present at the meeting

Written statement:Seeking variance of 5' side setback to replace a previously existing carport that collapsed due to snow load on March 15 2021, less than 6 months after I purchased the home in October 2020. The variance will not be detrimental to the public good and the new structure will be built to code by a licensed contractor.The variance is nominal and inconsequential. The previous structure existed for approximately 10 years prior. It is recognizable in satellite imagery on Google Earth dated July, 2011. The new structure will be built over an existing cement slab that extends to the fence line. No part of the structure will extend across the property line. A gutter will be used to prevent precipitation from crossing onto the adjacent property. The structure is mostly hidden by the fence, gate, and foliage when viewed from the cul-de-sac. Additionally, the loss of this structure will impact the resale value of the property if not replaced. The carport was built by a previous homeowner and therefore this economic loss/hardshipis not self-imposed.

Photo of collapsed carport (March 2021).Collapse resulted from failure of 2x6 beam spanning length of structure under heavy, wet snowfall in March 2021. If variance is granted, replacement structure will be built by licensed contractor to current codes and utilize a ledger board to prevent similar failure in future.
