SUMMARY AGENDA
Fort Collins Zoning Board of Appeals
Regular Meeting – February 14, 2013 at 8:30 a.m.
Council Chambers, City Hall West, 300 LaPorte Ave
Roll Call
Approval of the Minutes from the previous meeting
Appeal: 2726 Withdrawn
Appeal: 2727 300 S Loomis Ave
The variance will reduce the required lot size from 6,000 square feet to 5,750 square feet and will
reduce the front yard setback from 15 feet to 12 feet in order to allow the existing house to be removed
and replaced with a new house. The variance will also reduce the required rear yard setback from 15
feet to 5 feet for a new detached 426 square foot garage. The existing detached garage is located on
top of the Arthur Ditch. The replacement garage will be located to the rear of the lot, behind the ditch.
The lot is currently nonconforming with 5,750 square feet of lot area, so the lot will remain at its current
size. Similar variances were approved in December, 2011; however the Arthur Ditch Company is now
requiring a greater easement along the ditch than they previously required. This change has
necessitated a change in the location of the buildings and slight modifications to the plans of the house
and garage to meet the new ditch easement requirements.

The variances are requested in order to allow the existing house on the lot to be demolished and a

will not be any closer to the front lot line than the existing home is.
