Harmony Road --- Petitioner: Les Brittingham, for Life Center Christian Fellowship --- Zone: IL --- Section 29-493( 1) , 29-493(2) (f) --- The variance would reduce the required 5 foot landscape parking lot setback along the west lot line to 0 feet, and would eliminate the requirement to have 6% of the interior of the parking lot landscaped with landscaped islands. The co 0 variance is necessary as a result of a church use being established on this site in the IL zone, constituting a change of use. --- Petitioner' s statement of hardship: The parking area is very large, and predominantly serves a large warehouse operation which occupies the majority of the building. Landscape islands in the parking area would interfere with efficient circulation of large semi-trucks which must access the building. The church is located in the front portion of the .�� building and really doesn't use the majority of the parking lot. There is an existing landscape setback along Harmony and along the east lot line, and the applicant is proposing to add any trees and shrubs which might be required as part of the Harmony Corridor landscape regulations. --- Staff comments: The entire parking and driveway area on the east side of the building is used heavily by large trucks . The Board has granted relief to the 6% interior island requirement when the area is used primarily by large trucks and is not too visible from the main street. 9 Appeal 2017 --- 1450 Riverside Avenue --- Petitioner: George Brelig --- Zone: --- Section 29-493( l ) , 29-493 (2) (f) --- The variance would reduce the required landscaped parking lot setback requirement along Riverside Avenue from 15 feet to 0 feet, reduce it along the west lot line from 5 feet to 0 feet, and along the north lot line from 5 feet to 0 feet. The variance would also reduce the amount of required interior parking lot landscaped islands from 6% to 0%. The variances are to allow a portion of the old Collins Cashway site to be used as a 2 year, temporary parking lot for construction 6 . 0 workers who are working on the Poudre Valley Hospital addition. --- Petitioner' s statement of hardship: The parking lot is only temporary in nature. Any perimeter and interior landscaping installed now would probably have to be removed when a new, permanent use is established on this property. The owner has the property for sale, and the lease that Hensel Phelps has on the lot requires that they vacate within 90 days of sale. Therefore, the length of time the property will be used is uncertain. See petitioner' s letter for additional information. --- Staff comments: As stated in the hardship, there is the possibility that interior and perimeter landscaping might have to be removed when a permanent use is established. However, it is unlikely that any landscaping along Riverside Avenue would have to be removed. The Board may want to establish a time limit if any variance is to be granted. r Appeal 2018 --- 1706 Fairbrooke Court --- Petitioner: Bill Harper/Bill Neal Zone: RP --- Section 29-223, 29-133 (2) --- The variance would reduce the required lot width from 60 feet to 40 feet for a new, single family dwelling in the RP zone. --- Petitioner's statement of hardship: The lot is a pie-shaped cul-de-sac lot. If the house were set back to where the lot width is 60 feet, the front setback would be about 58 feet. The house would be so far back on the lot that the front of the house would be behind the back of adjacent homes. All setbacks will be complied with. There is also a drainage problem on this lot in that drainage goes to the lot to the south. Moving the home forward allows for an opportunity to generally contain the drainage within this lot. A setback of 58 feet as required would be out of character with the rest of the cul-de-sac. --- Staff comments: None.
