APPEAL ZBA190002 Address: 936 Kimball Road Owner/Petitioner: Larry Dietz Zoning District: R-L Code Section: 3.5.2(E)(5) Project Description: This variance is for partially built 32 foot by 36 foot detached RV storage pole barn. This 1152 square foot accessory building is 352 square feet over the 800 square foot maximum allowed for a lot of this size. It is replacing a 1200 square foot horse barn that existed on the property prior to the principal house being built. 4. APPEAL ZBA190003 Address: 4701 Strauss Cabin Rd Owner: Harmony 23 LLC Petitioner: Nicole Vatrano Zoning District: H-C Code Section: 3.8.7.2(G) Project Description: Variance requested to install a second monument sign for the new Wyatt commercial property along E Harmony Road. The maximum number of monuments signs along any frontage is one. • OTHER BUSINESS Election of Officials • ADJOURNMENT 1/2/19 To Whom it May Concern; It is our intent to ask The City of Fort Collins, Zoning Board of Appeals, to allow MedExpress to keep their freestanding sign in the current position at 110 East Boardwalk Dr. This location is allowed to have a sign 10’ tall from grade to top of sign at its current set back of 10’ from property line. Due to the uneven levels on this property, the sign ended up approx. 11.42’ from the street grade along College Ave on the leading edge of the sign closest to the street, and approx. 12.08’ from the College Ave grade on the other end of the sign. We feel that the sign will affect the current location in an inconsequential way. The sign was originally located along Boardwalk Dr. dating back to 2017. For better visibility for patients, Schlosser Signs, Inc. was hired to move the sign for the customer from the Boardwalk side of the property to the College Ave. side of the property. Upon final zoning inspection it was determined that the sign is too high when measured from the nearby street grade rather than the ground it sits on. Sincerely, Erin Garcia Erin Garcia Schlosser Signs Inc. 3597 Draft Horse Ct. Loveland, CO 80538 970-593-1334 Request for Zoning Variance Location of Request: 936 Kimball Rd. Ft Collins, Co, 80521 Subject of Variance request: Pole Barn for R.V./ Boat storage 32’ x 36’ with a roof height of 19’4” to be placed where a old farm barn has been. This would increase my property value and provide a sound barrier to 921 Rocky Rd. Please refer to parcel map for reference. Statement: This variance is for a Boat/R V/ 2P nd P garage size 32’ X 36’ The 32’ depth running East and West with the 36’ width being the North and South direction. I am requesting the deviation of existing allowable structure on my property to accommodate the above mentioned structure (1152 sq.ft.), replacing a dilapidated horse barn built in 1955. (1200 sq. ft). Building: Build a pole barn 32’ x 36’ with a wall height of 14’ and roof peak of 19’4” Metal roof and siding ( siding to be added at a later date). To match existing house. Conflict: There has been some controversy about the height of my storage garage a.k.a. pole barn. The attached doc. from CSU shows the height of the sun in a 12 month period. During the growing season of mid March to mid Sept. the shadow cast by my building will be at the greatest 15.6ft. and at the least 7.18ft. My building is 20’ from my property on the North. This new structure will enhance the neighborhood by replacing the horse barn and matching my house, and also increase my property value. Please refer to the plot map for references. Your consideration of this is greatly appreciated Larry Dietz Right angle side a 19.4’ Dec. 21 26o shadow 39.78’ Nov. & Jan. 29.4o shadow 34.43’ Oct. & Feb 38.7o shadow 24.22’ Sep. & Mar. 49.8o shadow 15.6’ Aug. & Apr. 61.4o shadow 10.58’ Jul. & May 69.7oshadow 7.18’ June 21 72.9o shadow 5.97’ Shadows don’t indicate all daylight hours because after noon, the barn’s shadows will be less.

This structure has significantly altered the quality of life in my yard. Direct sunlight to the southern exposure of my yard is severely compromised during the fall, winter and spring. The shadow caused by the barn extends into my frontyard. The views from my sittingroom window and my patio doors are entirely filled by this barn. A 30% reduction in size would make a noticable difference. I do not support a variance allowing Mr. Dietz to exceed the 800sqft maximum.

Please note that the old 1200 sqft structure was/is 6 feet tall on the northern side. It was not visible over a standard, 6' tall backyard fence. As these pictures demonstrate, the new building is nothing like the previous building. The square footage of the previous, grandfathered building should have no bearing on the maximum square footage of the new shed. The 800 sqft maximum should be enforced. Stefanie DeAngelis 930 Kimball Road ZBA190002 – 936 Kimball Rd Correspondence 2 pg. 1 Application Request for Variance from the Land Use Code The Zoning Board of Appeals has been granted the authority to approve variances from the requirements of Articles 3 and 4 of the Land Use Code. The Zoning Board of Appeals shall not authorize any use in a zoning district other than those uses which are specifically permitted in the zoning district. The Board may grant variances where it finds that the modification of the standard would not be detrimental to the public good. Additionally, the variance request must meet at least one of the following justification reasons: (1) by reason of exceptional physical conditions or other extraordinary and exceptional situations unique to the property, including, but not limited to physical conditions such as exceptional narrowness, shallowness, or topography, the strict application of the code requirements would result in unusual and exceptional practical difficulties or undue hardship upon the occupant/applicant of the property, provided that such difficulties or hardship are not caused by an act or omission of the occupant/applicant (i.e. not self-imposed); (2) the proposal will promote the general purpose of the standard for which the variance is requested equally well or better than would a proposal which complies with the standard for which the variance is requested; (3) the proposal will not diverge from the Land Use Code standards except in a nominal, inconsequential way when considered in the context of the neighborhood. This application is only for a variance to the Land Use Code. Building Code requirements will be determined and reviewed by the Building Department separately. When a building or sign permit is required for any work for which a variance has been granted, the permit must be obtained within 6 months of the date that the variance was granted. However, for good cause shown by the applicant, the Zoning Board of Appeals may consider a one-time 6 month extension if reasonable and necessary under the facts and circumstances of the case. An extension request must be submitted before 6 months from the date that the variance was granted has lapsed. Petitioner or Petitioner’s Representative must be present at the meeting Location: 300 LaPorte Ave, Council Chambers, Fort Collins, CO 80524 Date: Second Thursday of the month Time: 8:30 a.m. Variance Address Petitioner’s Name, if not the Owner City Fort Collins, CO Petitioner’s Relationship to the Owner is Zip Code Petitioner’s Address Owner’s Name Petitioner’s Phone # Code Section(s) Petitioner’s Email Zoning District Additional Representative’s Name Justification(s) Representative’s Address Justification(s) Representative’s Phone # Justification(s) Representative’s Email Reasoning Date ___________________________________ Signature __Nicole _________Vatrano _______________________________ 1/4/19 Board of Adjustments City of Fort Collins 281 N. College Ave Fort Collins, CO 80528 Dear Board of Adjustments, We are requesting a variance to the Land Use Code 3.8.7.2. We would like consideration of the board to allow The Wyatt to have a second monument sign on the North West corner of the property on Harmony. All monument signs will be located within the property lines and meet all other city codes and requirements regarding, height and square footage. The property located at 4701 Strauss Cabin Rd is a very large property, with a frontage of 1,021.00 feet on Harmony Rd. The Wyatt would like the additional sign at the north- west corner of the property, to allow motorists to be aware of the location, heading east on Harmony, as they crest they hill. There are two approved signs at the entrance of the Wyatt on Strauss Cabin and one at the corner of Strauss Cabin and Harmony. The requested additional sign will be placed 775 feet from the one on the corner of Strauss Cabin and Harmony. Placing a sign at this location will diverge from the code in a nominal and inconsequential way. There are other properties on Harmony that were allowed 2 monuments on the same frontage. One of those has a frontage of 830 feet. We feel that this will comply with the general purpose and standard of the area. Thank you for your consideration of our application, Nicole Vatrano Permit Tech DaVinci Sign Systems, Inc. 970-203-9292
