Oak Street Petitioner/Owner: Georgia Doyle Zoning District: N-C-L Code Section: 4.7(E)(4) Project Description: This variance request is for an existing garage that is being raised 14 inches. The existing location of the garage encroaches 1.5 feet into the required 5 feet side-yard setback. The request is to raise the garage and maintain a 1.5 feet encroachment. COMMENTS: 1. Background: This property was annexed into the City in 1887 and later platted in 1902 as part of the Loomis Addition Block 290. The primary building was constructed in 1908. It is not exactly clear at what time the accessory (garage) building was built but it has been in place for at least 50 years. The current mapping of the City Floodplain places the property at risk of the 100-year flood. A small portion of the front half of the property is in a moderate risk and the majority of the property is within high risk. The garage location is within the high risk. This is a similar condition for entire block on both sides of the alley. The alley has an increased risk as it is mapped to be in the floodway. The applicant is seeking to reduce the impacts of a 100-year flood event by raising the structure. Raising the structure does require compliance with the current setbacks. The side setback is 5-feet. The structure currently encroaches 1.5 feet and the applicant is requesting to maintain this encroachment. 2. Applicant’s statement of justification: See petitioner’s letter. 3. Staff Conclusion and Findings: Under Section 2.10.2(H), staff recommends approval and finds that: • The request is not detrimental to the public good. • The existing structure has been in this location for over 50 years. • The additional height is 14 inches and is still in compliance with building height standards. Therefore, the variance request will not diverge from the standard but in a nominal, inconsequential way, when considered in the context of the neighborhood, and will continue to advance the purpose of the Land Use Code contained in Section 1.2.2 4. Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of APPEAL #ZBA180025.

The storm on 22 May 2018 left 8” of water in the garage while the flood of 1997 flooded to a depth of over 12”. This makes the building unusable as a garage. The proposal is to raise the garage floor and foundation 14”. The bottom 3” of the garage structure is rotten and will be cut off. The ridge of the building will increase 11” over its present elevation. Historic Preservation In addition to the 11” change in altitude and removing the bottom 3”, 4 flood vents will be added to the exterior walls of the building. Otherwise the building will have no external modifications. Zoning According to the “Improvement Location Certificate” which was supplied when the property was purchased, the garage is 3.5’ from the west property line, in violation of the 5’ sideyard setback for NCL properties. It is desired to leave the garage in its present location and a variance is requested to maintain the current 3.5’ setback. Justification for the variance: • The garage has been in its present location for well over 50 years. • A survey found that over 80% of the nearby garages are clearly in violation of the 5’ sideyard setback. Garages located close to the property line is appropriate for the neighborhood. • NCL lots are generally 50’ wide whereas this lot is only 35’ wide. This is an atypically narrow lot which creates its own hardship. • It’s already difficult to get heavy equipment or a trailer into the backyard and moving the garage to meet the 5’ setback may cause future problems. With the narrow lot, residence location and trees, there is no equipment access to the backyard via the street. All access has to be from the alley. Stormwater During most heavy rain events, a portion of the eastbound water on Mountain Ave turns south on Washington St, then east again flowing down the alley to form a pond in the backyard. During the extreme flood of 1997, water was flowing in from both ends of the alley. Generally the pond absorbs into the soil within 48 hours. The flood risk map indicates 100 year floods will be 17” deep at the garage’s present elevation. With a 14” elevation increase, the property owner accepts that there may be 3” of water in the garage during extreme events. Flood vents on the east and west walls (2 per wall) will be added to the structure. Approx 12 yd³ of material will be used to elevate and construct the new foundation. No additional hard surface is planned. The driveway will continue to be gravel.

Please attach the following to my June 22, 2018 letter concerning garage repairs at 810 W Oak. In my opinion, the variance requested, that is, maintain existing side yard setback of 3.5 feet, would not be detrimental to the public good and diverges from the standard in a nominal, inconsequential way. As stated in the June 22, 2018 letter, the garage has been in its current location for at least 50 years and most if not all garages and sheds in my alley are within the 5 foot setback. Additionally, the lot is unusually narrow (35 ft) and moving the garage to meet the 5 foot setback creates hardship by making access to the backyard difficult. Thanks again, Georgia Doyle 810 W Oak St Fort Collins, CO 80521 (970) 237-0727 Views of the yard and alley during the storm of 22 May 2018 Agenda Item 2 Item # 2 - Page 1 STAFF REPORT AUGUST 9, 2018 STAFF Noah Beals, Senior City Planner/Zoning PROJECT APPEAL ZBA180027 PROJECT DESCRIPTION Address: 618 Lesser Drive Petitioner/Owner: Amy Cook Zoning District: N-C-B Code Section: 4.9(D)(6)(d), 3.8.19 Project Description: This variance request is to reconstruct a garage that burnt down several years ago. The new garage is proposed to be within the same footprint of the old garage. The request is to encroach 2.5 feet into the required 5 feet side-yard setback, encroach 5 feet into the required 15 feet rear-yard setback, and the eave to extend past the permitted 2.5 feet into a setback. COMMENTS: 1. Background: This property was platted in 1947 as part of the Lessers subdivision. It was later annexed into the City in 1953. The property does not abut an alley and is accessed from the Lesser Drive. The primary building on the lot was built approximately in 1911 and it is unknown how many remodels have occurred. It is also unclear at what time the garage was built originally. The old garage caught fire sometime in 2016. The old garage was considered a legal nonconforming structure, based on the encroachment into the side and rear setback. A permit was applied for to reconstruct the nonconforming garage in 2016. The permit was later withdrawn, and the construction of the garage was not completed. A foundation was poured in the footprint of the old garage. 2. Applicant’s statement of justification: See petitioner’s letter. 3. Staff Conclusion and Findings: Under Section 2.10.2(H), staff recommends approval and finds that: • The request is not detrimental to the public good. • The abutting property to the east is a commercial use with outdoor storage and does not have a setback from the shared property line. • Throughout the neighborhood, accessory and primary structures encroach into the side-yard setbacks. • There was an existing structure within the same location. Therefore, the variance request will not diverge from the standard but in a nominal, inconsequential way, when considered in the context of the neighborhood, and will continue to advance the purpose of the Land Use Code contained in Section 1.2.2 4.

The allowable floor area in the rear-half of the lot is 731 square feet. The request is for an additional 384 square feet for a total allowable floor area in the rear-half to 1,115 square feet. COMMENTS: 1. Background: This property was annexed into the city in 1956. The primary building was built in 1953 and it is unclear how many remodels the building has received. The property has never been platted. The property is a rectangular lot and is at the corner of the block. The primary building both faces and is addressed along the long side of the rectangle creating a large portion of the primary building to be in the rear-half of the lot. The current floor area and the proposed additional floor area meets the allowable floor area for the entire lot. However, the proposed floor area exceeds what is allowed in the rear-half of the lot. Additionally, current standards for a lot in the N-C-L zone district is a minimum of 6,000 square feet for a detached single-family dwelling. The existing lot size is 5,850 square feet. 2. Applicant’s statement of justification: See petitioner’s letter. 3. Staff Conclusion and Findings: Under Section 2.10.2(H), staff recommends approval and finds that: • The request is not detrimental to the public good. • The front of the primary building is oriented to the long side of the rectangle lot placing a large portion of the primary building in the rear-half. • The lot size is smaller than the current minimum lot size in the N-C-L zone district. • The proposed addition does not exceed the allowable floor area for the lot. • The proposed addition meets the setbacks for the N-C-L zone district. Therefore, the variance request will not diverge from the standard but in a nominal, inconsequential way, when considered in the context of the neighborhood, and will continue to advance the purpose of the Land Use Code contained in Section 1.2.2 and the shallowness of the parcel created an exceptional situation unique to the property. 4. Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of APPEAL # ZBA180028. Agenda Item 4 Item # 4 - Page 1 STAFF REPORT AUGUST 9, 2018 STAFF Noah Beals, Senior City Planner/Zoning PROJECT APPEAL ZBA180029 PROJECT DESCRIPTION Address: 609 Juniper Lane Owner: Nathaniel Banke Petitioner: Mike Hull, OFMC Construction Zoning District: R-L Code Section: 4.4(D)(1) Project Description: This variance request is for a second story addition to an existing single-story house. In the Low Density Residential (R-L) zone district; the allowable floor area for a 7,537 square feet lot is 2,512 square feet. The request is for an additional 289 square feet of allowable floor area. COMMENTS: 1. Background: This property was platted in 1954 and later annexed into the City in 1957. The primary building was constructed in 1959. The Sheely neighborhood is made up of approximately 10 subdivisions that extend from S. Whitcomb Street to Sheely Drive and from Prospect Road to Wallenberg Drive. A portion of the west side of the neighborhood, consisting of 11 homes along Sheely Drive, are in a designated Fort Collins Landmark District. On Juniper Lane on both sides of the street there are 25 homes including the subject property. All 25 homes appear to be a 1-story single family detached structure. In the Low Density Residential (R-L) District, the lot is required to be 3 times greater than the allowable floor area of the building. The subject property lot size is 7,537 square feet, the total allowable floor area is 2,512 square feet. The proposal expands the footprint of the existing building an additional 10 feet in the rear and adds a complete 2nd story over the existing 1st floor. The R-L zone district does not prohibit 2nd story buildings or additions. 2. Applicant’s statement of justification: See petitioner’s letter. 3. Staff Conclusion and Findings: Under Section 2.10.2(H), staff recommends denial and finds: • A 2nd story addition that exceeds the allowable floor area is more than nominal and inconsequential within the context of a single-story neighborhood. • Insufficient evidence has been provided in establishing a unique hardship to the property • No evidence provided in showing how the proposal supports the standards in way equally well or better than a proposal that complies with the standards. 4. Recommendation: Staff recommends denial of APPEAL # ZBA180029.

COMMENTS: 1. Background: The original structure was built approximately in 1900. The property was subdivided from the original platted lot. The original platted lot extended from the alley on the north to W. Mountain Ave. on the south. The subdivision resulted in two lots. When the home on north lot was built in 1900, it was oriented to Frey Street. Presently the lot is zoned N-C-L. This zone district requires minimum lot sizes of 6,000 square feet. The subject property’s lot size is 4,589 sf and is legally nonconforming. A variance request was made in January of this year for a different addition design. That request was approved but never started. 2. Applicant’s statement of justification: See petitioner’s letter. 3. Staff Conclusion and Findings: Under Section 2.10.2(H), staff recommends approval and finds that: • The request is not detrimental to the public good. • The parcel is 1,411 sf below the minimum lot requirements of the zone district. • The shape of the lot is a rectangle, with the long side oriented to the street resulting in a shallow lot. • Portions of the primary house encroach into the rear setback and the detached garage encroaches more. Therefore, the size and the shallowness of the parcel and location of the existing structure created an exceptional situation unique to the property and the strict application of the standards result in practical difficulties that are not caused by an act or omission of the applicant. Agenda Item 5 Item # 5 - Page 2 4. Recommendation: Staff recommends approval APPEAL # ZBA180030. Lategan —103 Frey Ave. We are requesting a zoning variance for our house at 103 Frey Ave. We purchased the house in its current condition in 2013 as a rental. Our plan is to renovate it and live there into our retirement. We have hired a Design- Build General Contractor; it is our intention to do an extensive renovation to the interior to make the house ADA friendly with space to maneuver a walker/wheelchair in the future, both inside and outside. To make these changes possible we are requesting an additional floor to allow the main floor to live more open and functional, covered breezeway from the main house to garage and small partially covered deck to accommodate the new entry. Our lot is unusually small, very shallow but wide; the size of the lot is creating a hardship for us to be able redesign the interior to create the much-needed circulation space and function. It is a small house, <1200 sq.ft. modification of the current building height and conditioned living space is requested to meet our needs into retirement. We believe the additional sq. ft. is minor, the modifications will be nominal and inconsequential and will enhance the exterior of the house; compliment the Frey neighborhood while providing an updated functional house for years to come. The current allowable rear half sq. footage is 574 sq ft. due to the placement of the house at no fault of the owner. We are requesting an additional maximum 667 sq. ft . Sincerely, Deon and Cynthia Lategan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

The current location is 3.5' from the property boundary, which is within the 5' setback requirement. Leaving the garage in its current location is believed to diverge from the Code in a nominal, inconsequential way as the garage has been in its present location for over 50 years and most of the garages in the neighborhood are within the 5' setback.
