ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS AGENDA Regular Meeting March 11, 1993 Appeal 2054 --- 125 Crestridge Street --- Petitioner: Eldon Ward for Day Spring Christian Church --- Zone: BP --- Section 29-288, 29-178 (5) --- The variance would reduce the required side yard setback along the east property line from 25 feet to 15 feet for an existing building in the BP zone, in order to allow the use to change from an office building to a church. --- Petitioner's statement of hardship: The building is existing. The side yard setback for a church is required to be a minimum of 25 feet. The only way to comply with the code would be to move the building or demolish a portion of the building. The setback is complied with at the front part of the building, but the building is constructed on the lot at an angle. The parking lot will be landscaped in compliance with the parking code. No variances are requested for the landscaping. --- Staff comments: None. Appeal 2055 --- 720 E. Vine Drive --- Petitioner: Kieth Gressman --- Zone: IP --- Section 29-403 (6) , 29-404 (4) , 29-404 (5) , 29-493 ( 1 ) , 29-493 (2) (f) ---- The variance would reduce the required landscape buffer strip along Vine Drive from 50 feet to 10 feet, reduce the minimum lot area requirement from 57,500 sq. ft. to 54,912 sq. ft. , reduce the required side yard setback along the west lot line from 30 ft. to 5 ft. and reduce the required rear yard setback from 20 ft. to 2 ft. The variance would also reduce the required 5 ft. landscape strip along the east lot line from 5 ft. to 0 ft. The variance would reduce the amount of 6 % interior parking lot landscaping to 0 %. These variances are necessary in order to allow the use of the property to change from bottling plant/warehouse to woodworking shop. The property is in the IP zone. ell --- Petitioner's statement of hardship:• The property is already developed. The building is existing. In order to comply with all the requirements, a large portion of the building would have to be removed and most of the parking would be lost. The parking is necessary to support the uses of the building and to allow access to the overhead doors. Landscaping will be added wherever possible in order to improve the site and minimize the variances. See petitioner's letter. --- Staff comments: None. .ARCHITECTUPE INTERIORS FACILITIFS A8C I February 24, 1993 Robert W. Smith, P.E. Stormwater Utility Manager City of Fort Collins P.O. Box 580 Fort Collins, Colorado 80522-0580 Re: Platte Valley Lumber, Platte Valley Subdivision Vine Street, Fort Collins, Colorado. Dear Bob: The above project is a reuse of an existing facility. As the attached site plan indicates, most of the site is covered by the building or hard surface. Areas of concrete totalling 2,232.8 square feet are being replaced with planting areas. Therefore, there is a net reduction of the impervious area with the development of the new use. As per our 2/10/93 discussion, based on the above information, a drainage report is not required. Very truly yours, Carl J.

February 24, 1993 Peter Barnes Zoning Administrator City of Fort Collins P.O. Box 580 Fort Collins, Colorado 80522-0580 Re: Platte Valley lumber, Platte Valley Subdivision, Variance Request Vine Street, Fort Collins, Colorado. Dear Peter: The above project is a reuse of an existing facility which has numerous violations of current zoning regulations. Variances are necessary to allow this facility to function with its new occupants and use. As the attached site plan indicates, most of the site is covered by the building or hard surface. Areas of concrete totalling 2,232.8 square feet are being replaced with planting areas. Therefore, there is a net reduction of the impervious area with the development of the new use. Variances are requested for the following: 1. Planting Area Buffer requirements are 15' for a normal street and 50' for an arterial. Due to the constraints of the site, we request that the planting area be allowed ten feet in depth rather than the required depths. Parking and vehicular access would not be feasible with either the fifteen foot or fifty foot requirements. 2. Wood Fence The planting area is extended on the east property line to screen four parking spaces. The balance of the east property line is proposed to be fenced with a solid wood fence rather than landscaping. The wood fencing will replace the existing chain link fence. It will continue to provide security and it will also provide an immediate screen of additional ten parking spaces and an exterior storage area. 3. Lot Area The building area is approximately 28,750 sq. ft. in area. The combined areas of the parcels which comprise the lot are 1.26 acres or 54,885.60 sq. ft. The building to lot ratio is 1 to 1.9 ; 1 to 2 is required. 4. Side and Rear Setbacks The building does not meet the 30' side setback requirement on the west lot line, however there is a substantial open yard on the adjoining County Shops property. The building conforms to the 20' rear setback for a portion of the length of the building. The Josh Ames Ditch angles to the southeast to the point that there is virtually no setback at the northeast corner of the building. However, the ditch serves as a buffer to possible development to the north. Thank you for your consideration of these matters. Very truth ours, Carl J.
