Collins, RE: Morris Residence 4965 Hogan Drive Ft. Collins, CO We are seeking a variance to the Land Use Code (UE) currently on this property, in regards to the side yard setbacks. The residence at 4965 Hogan Drive was built in the late 70’s and was build to the county setbacks and regulation at that time. The setbacks at that time we for 15’-0” side yards. We are proposing two additions to the residence, one on each end of the house. We are requesting a variance for both of these additions to the 15’-0” side yard setbacks. The Garage and covered porch on the North end of the residence is currently built at the 15’-0” side yard setback. We are proposing a 4’-0” addition to the back of this section of the residence. The currently required setback presents a hardship to the owners in the light of the fact that the existing setback is 15’-0”, and it would not be desirable to have an offset of 5’-0” in the additional area, for the purpose the owners want this additional room. The addition to the south also is proposed with a 16’-0 25/32” setback. This would have been permitted under the regulations at the time the house was built. The house at 4985 Hogan Drive to the south of this property has a setback of 16’-0” from the property line. Many of the homes in this neighborhood are built with the 5’-0” setbacks on the side yards, which was consistent with the requirements at the time of construction. We feel that the proposed additions to 4965 Hogan Drive will not diverge from the Land Use Code except in nominal, inconsequential way. We have been in contact with the Neighbors and they have indicated that they do not have a problem with our proposal. We respectfully request that you grant the proposed additions to 4965 Hogan Drive, based on the existing conditions, and the nominal, inconsequential way that they will not diverge from the Land Use Code that was put into place many years after the home was built. Respectfully, Clifford H. Hart Contractor (970-217-2933)
