Other Business Peter Barnes, Zoning Adrninisi a;vt Community Planning and Environmental Services Building and Zoning Department City of Fort Collins 281 North College Avenue Fort Collins, CO 80522-0580 September 14, 2000 1 am writing in response to your September 5, 2000 notice of a request for a modification on the Zoning Code of the City of Fort Collins by Reed Schachte, 1009 West Oak Street. As his immediate neighbor to the west (at 1009 West Oak Street), I support Reed's wishes to place his new garage in the location of the existing one, which would require the setback from the alley to remain at 2 feet rather than 5 feet as specified in current code. Otherwise, he would have to remove existing trees in the area, which would adversely affect the environment of both his property and those surrounding it. The requested variance will retain the established landscape and cause the least disruption to the Schachte property and those properties surrounding it, both visually and environmentally-- important factors for everyone in the area and for the City itself. Finally, the proposed variance would result in a garage placement consistent with the majority of other structures along the alley in this block of West Oak Street, and would provide no interference or obstruction to public alley access or-maintenance. Sincerely, Sharon L. Hamm 1009 West Oak Street (970) 484-8470 Reed Schachte 3 n 1005 West Oak St. Ft. Collins, Colorado 80521 416-0359 August 28,2000 Zoning Board of Appeals City of Fort Collins Included here are materials for a zoning variance request for 1005 W. Oak St., Ft. Collins. The specific request is to waive the five foot alley setback for a new 22' x 22' two car garage I wish to build. The reason for the request is to save an old growth tree currently in the back yard. The trunk is approximately 4 feet in diameter at ground level and approximately 50 feet tall. My lot at 1005 W. Oak St. is on the north side of the alley. According to an Improvement Location Certificate drawn by a professional surveyor in 1996,my current old garage is approximately on the south property line at the alley,with no setback. In support of my request, I would like to point out that six other garages on the north side of the same alley behind the 1000 block of Oak Street also appear to have no setback from their lot lines,as they are all approximately on the same line as my current old garage. In short, if the variance request is granted, the new garage would be set back the same distance as the old garage, and the same distance as six other garages on the north side of the same alley. Included here is the following documentation: >A plot plan of my lot,drawn by me,with the proposed new garage included. >The Improvement Location Certificate drawn by a surveyor. >A list of names and addresses of all owners of record of real property within 150 feet of my lot. Thank you for your consideration. Reed Schachte
