Date:Wednesday, November 12, 2025 8:30:52 AM From: Julie Wiggin <hummingbirdwiggin@gmail.com> Sent: Tuesday, November 11, 2025 9:33 PM To: Noah Beals <nbeals@fcgov.com> Subject: [EXTERNAL] Modification of the Land Use Code - Appeal ZBA250034 3506 English Ct. To Whom it May Concern: This is Julie A. Wiggin. I am the owner of 3513 Westminster Ct. Fort Collins, 80526. My property is adjacent to the above mentioned property. My western property line is adjacent to the subject property's eastern boundary. I would like to ask that the variance being applied for be rejected. I have several reasons, which I am listing below: 1. The current setback for the RL Zone District is 15 feet. I feel that a 6 foot setback will put this structure too close to my property line and would be detrimental to my property. I purchased my house with the enjoyment of the setbacks in place. I do not want the adjacent structure to encroach 9 feet into the 15-foot setback. I do not want to see the value of my property decreased, due to an adjacent property not being in compliance with the setbacks required by the zoning for the neighborhood. 2. I would like to also ask that the variance be rejected based on the maximum allowable buildable floor area. The proposal description states that the maximum buildable floor area for this lot is 2,355. The current building, which is 2,486 sq. ft., already exceeds the maximum allowable by 131 square feet. The RL Zone District maximum allowable buildable area, if the variance is allowed, would be 371 over the limit. This is not in keeping with the surrounding similarly zoned lots for this size of a lot. 3. Another concern I have is the past history of this house being used as a multi-family dwelling. The "guest house" has been listed on the open market as available for long- term rental. It was promoted as such for the previous owners' listing on real estate marketing apps, to promote the sale of the property. Also, the unit was listed for monthly rental, separate from the "main house." My concern with the approval of the variance is that the property will be marketed as a multi-family rental, as it has been in the past. This is not consistent with the with RL zoning or the surrounding single family neighborhood. Please see attached description in the Zillow listing, which states that the property 2 includes a "rental": "Spacious Home with Guest House and Exceptional Features. This beautifully maintained property offers an incredible combination of space, comfort, and flexibility. Recently painted and featuring new carpeting, the home is move-in ready and designed to impress.The main house includes four bedrooms and two bathrooms, providing ample living space for a growing family or anyone seeking room to spread out. The expansive great room features elegant hardwood floors and a private entrance, making it ideal for use as a home office, studio, or entertainment space. The kitchen is both functional and inviting, showcasing stunning wood floors. The bedrooms have been thoughtfully designed with plush carpeting to ensure comfort and warmth.The backyard offers a peaceful retreat with the privacy and ambiance of large, mature trees. This outdoor space is perfect for relaxation or quiet gatherings in a natural setting.Located at the back of the property, the one-bedroom, one-bathroom guest house includes its own yard space and shed, providing additional privacy and convenience. It's an excellent option for hosting guests, accommodating extended family, or generating rental income.Additional amenities include a gated driveway with ample space for multiple vehicles or an RV, as well as two additional storage sheds for tools, equipment, or seasonal items. Recent updates to the HVAC system and roof provide added peace of mind.With its thoughtful design and versatile living options, this home is a rare find and a fantastic opportunity. Look for walk through video link. Don't miss your chance to make it your own!" Here is a link to the previous listing for the sale of this home: https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/3506-English-Ct-Fort-Collins-CO- 80526/13918954_zpid/ Here is the wording for the "rental unit" that was posted on Zillow: "NEWLY REMODELED charming fully-contained studio apartment in a friendly, quiet neighborhood. The studio has its own separate entrance and small kitchen (fridge, and as-is microwave, toaster oven, hot plate, washer/dryer combo). Also includes storage unit and possible access to portion of private back yard. While showing one year lease, landlord has preference for lease to end -May to June i.e. preferably May-June 2026 (-18 month lease), or may consider May-June 2025 (-6 month lease). Flat $150/month utilities (water/sewer/trash), i.e. Rent + Utilities = $1,350 This studio flat is a great match for someone looking for their own space in a safe and quiet neighborhood on a cul-de-sac conveniently located off Horsetooth road in Fort Collins! This studio was originally designed as a separate mother-in-law suite and is detached from the main house. The family who live in the main house is courteous and respectful about the privacy of the studio flat, and we're looking for a tenant who will share those qualities! This non- smoking property would be a great fit for someone living on their own, and a small dog may be considered with communication and additional deposit." 3 Here is the link for the past rental: https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/3506- English-Ct-1-Fort-Collins-CO-80526/441852772_zpid/ I would ask that the variance requested by the Erik E Shollmier Trust & Erik Shollmier, owner, be rejected, as it would result in substantial detriment to not only my property, but surrounding properties in the neighborhood. Thank you for your time, I appreciate it. Sincerely, Julie A. Wiggin 125 N Main St. Ste. D Gunnison CO 81230 4 5 Exhibit A
